I recently went from Cyanogen Mod 5.0.8 to Cupcake(1.5), and finally un-rooted(I think) to Donut(1.6), all in motivation for Froyo(2.2) for my myTouch 3G. Will I be able to get the update if I already went through a rooting process? Some of the current information:
Build Number: DMD64 (Was COC10 in ROOT)
Model Number: T-mobile myTouch 3G
Firmware Version: 1.6

Yea If Yu Were Rooted Then Unrooted Yu Can Still Get OTA Updates. But if yu unrooted to 1.5 yu have to find a way to upgrade to 1.6 cause 1.6fw doesnt exist anymoe on googles server. once yur on 1.6 yu will ready for 2.2
Thanks. And just in case for some reason that I don't get the update by Halloween(10/31), is/will there be a way to manually update it?

T-Mobile stated that after the initial push you could call customer support to request them to manually push the update. I think the deadline was originally the 26th but it may have changed.

I found a thread on the T-Mobile forums on how to manually update to Froyo. I suggest doing this ONLY if you don't automatically receive the update.

I used to use a mytouch 3G, but have sold it an am unrooting it before I ship. I flashed the original SAPPIMG.nbh, and now it's showing android version 1.5, and says that the system is currently up to date. Is there an easy way to manually update it to 1.6 so this guy gets the most recent version?

This is the best reason I've ever seen to avoid buying used equipment.
Looks like the original Mytouch will be getting 2.2 update from HTC and T-Mobile, starting tomorrow.

How did you even manage that?.... Didn't read?
Does this mean we will lose root? I love all the options and features of root but it would be nice to have a solid froyo rom.
nevermind. i think i have to unroot before i can do the update.

lol, I just nandroided back to CM6 this morning.
How do you guys think FroYo will run on the MT3G? I predict not well! I'm almost thinking I'd rather stay rooted on Donut or CM6 so I can at least overclock it.
Too bad I've got the 1.2.

CM6 = Froyo and it flys and works great. Why wouldn't the tmo froyo release run well? And what rom were you using that you had to nandroid to CM6? I'm confused by your post.

I predict we won't get the OTA update if we're rooted, and if we are it will most likely wipe out root access. I'm gonna need to reinstall that stupid amazonmp3 apk and unroot so I can get this stupid update.
If I don't like it I'm gonna SAPPIMG.nbh back to 1.5 so I can use flashrec to get amon_ra back and then nandroid back to 1.6.
Jebus, I feel like I'm speaking in tongues, lol.

most ROMs disable OTA updates.
and no way would I revert back to stock until it's confirmed that the official 2.2 doesn't somehow break root access.
Give the Devs until Thursday. and they will have the OTA with root to flash on our phones (if you want it). I, personally, won't go back to stock after tasting CM goodness!
Does anyone know where I can get the nbh file , and radio link to unroot? I have tried all the links on this site and none works anymore!

No radio update needed, the nbh file will take care of all of that.
Just copy this to the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader (vol down + power), hit apply update and let it do it's thing.
DON'T restore anything through TiBa or mybackup until AFTER you've received the ota update. Should take about a day or two of the phone being on and connected to 3G.

The MT3G just doesn't have enough ram to support an OS this large. CM6 is good but still way slower than oem 1.6 w/androot and overclock.
I rooted a few months back by using sappimg and flashrec, then installed CM5 with mediocre results. I got sick of the instability and unrooted. Then I rooted the stock 1.6 w/universal androot, overclocked it, and left it alone for a while.
A week or so ago I backed up my oem 1.6 w/root, then I flashed CM6. 3 or 4 days ago I backed up my CM6 and went back to my nandroid of oem1.6 w/root. This time I ditched CM due to crazy bad battery life and the phone running way hot. I suspected it would have done better with compcache disable but I got sick of screwing with it.
This morning I nandroided back to CM6 to screw around with it some more, (wanted to disable compcache and give it another shot) but just now I'm going back to the oem donut again because froyo is inherently slow on a phone with this little ram, although disabling compcache helped a bit. Also the gallery is too slow to use.
Does that make more sense? Basically I'm indecisive and keep switching back and forth, lol.
Hi!
A friend of mine has this device and he wants to have Froyo installed, I believe he still has the factory installed version it came with the phone (I think is version 1.6 or 1.8).
I have a Samsung Captivate and upgraded very easily to Froyo using Odin and the Cognition ROM.
Can anyone point me to a thread that has an easy (beginner to intermediate) way to upgrade the MyTouch 3G to Froyo?
Thanks!
If it is an original MyTouch(without the 3.5mm jack) then the easiest way would be to wait for the OTA update from T-mobile. If your friend doesn't want to wait then check out this thread: Manually update MyTouch to stock Froyo
What about updating an unlocked MT 3G? Will updating to Froyo relock the phone?
Yes, is a original (untouched) myTouch 3G....
I read that it will come OTA, but he haven't seen anything yet on his phone.
Thanks

Ok, Here is the link, T-mobile is advertising 2.2 Froyo on the Mytouch Slide....
http://mytouch.t-mobile.com/mytouch-3g-slide-features#/apps
WTF... They must be close to releasing it or they wouldn't advertise it on their website as running 2.2 Or is this just another trick from T-mobile to sell more Mytouch Slides
A doubt
i have a mytouch slide unlocked, and currently running froyo 2.2.1 by CM. i cant get an OTA update, but i really like the espresso ui along with the genius and other things. how can i get the t-mobile 2.2, if they release it and will it work on my phone.?

You would have to revert back to stock in order to get the OTA if/when it comes out. There really is no need though. You will find the latest updates here, probably before you would get them on your phone. CR is the best at getting us out the latest stuff and keeping everything updated.

I have reverted to stock, If I get the update (Whenever that is) I will post the update.zip file. But we are waiting for t-mobile to push the update still. It's gotta be soon as they have updated the website to say that the mytouch slide runs on "The Powerful Android 2.2 Froyo system" LOL.

Why in the world would you return to the restrictions of being on stock?
A rooted ver of the OTA is always made here in xda so theres no point in bother with stock, root gives you complete control over your phone and allows you to make it yours.
Just what I stated as above TO GET THE OEM OTA AND POST IT HERE. I'm well aware of rooting and S-Off I had both before going back to stock, re-rooting and S-offing again isn't that big of a deal. I did a nadroid backup before I went back to stock so I can have my phone back in short order.

um...You probably should have waited till they actually start sending out the OTA. Second, It doesnt come in a update.zip file so unless you know how to extract the complete file from your phone after it has been updated and then turn it into a update.zip you are going to be S.O.L.
It doesn't matter !

so i pointed out to him where he can get the 2.2.1 with epresso, not stock android.
Just got a used myTouch 4G for my daughter. I am currently with Wind Mobile in Canada, so obviously this phone is unlocked.
I noticed that it is still on Froyo, and I don't see any obvious way to factory upgrade to the latest version of Gingerbread.
How would I go about upgrading to the latest version? For now, I'd rather not root/flash custom ROMs for this phone.
Some feedbacks are much appreciated.
