Froyo Android 2.2 OTA updates begin rolling out

According to TechCrunch. But I can't post links on XDA apparently, so you will have to go to techcrunch DOT com/2010/05/22/android-froyo-nexus-one/
Sorry

there is a link posted in general section

wow, will go the stock rom and see if there any update... thx !

u from the us?

To be or not to be?
hmmm funny how all the links are to ONE guy... would be lovely if it was the case but the odds of ONLY one set of images and ONE guy having the OTA is slightly concerning.
If he did... "go get a lottery ticket"
If he did not then i'll sit back and refresh for 3 weeks
*#*#checkin#*#*
come on Froyo it's 27 degrees celcius in the UK a great time to drop by and chill us all out!

please can anyone confirmed it

nop, but its free to try

U where you from then? Please tell us if there's any update

In fact reading into it more...
A reporter for TechCrunch website states he has had the OTA?
I'l put 2 and 2 together here and i know this smells very odd now indeed. Do not get your hopes up, and really do smell a clever ploy to attract some users.
Who says it was OTA anyway? surely guys like TechCrunch would be given a sniff anyway weeks ago?
Just my 2 cents.

When running for example Cyanogen, I have two questions someone perhapse can answer:
1) Where do I find the option to check for an OTA-update, cant find it in About in Settings?
2) Will I haveto install a stock rom to be able to do the OTA?
Tnx,
//P

israel, and there is on update to froyo here...

Also from Israel (with CM5.0.6) but still no update I won't install it anyway, waiting for rooted version (so I can flash some Hebrew fonts)

Dude seriously? No joke?

Yes. It's an Update, not a replacement for your custom ROM. The only way you'll even get the option for an OTA update is if you flash your ROM back to stock and wait.
Or, wait for a few more hours for someone to release a rooted ROM, which is assuming the Techcrunch link is for real, which I doubt it is.

Ah that makes more sense, damn typos!

im sure an update.zip will appear within 24 hours of the first hundred confirmed OTA's so don't fret

i bet it´s fake! and techcrunch gets some extra credits for additional clicks...

Sprint Update to 2.3 Android

According to a friend of mine (works for Sprint), he says some people have downloaded 2.3 on their phones. They showed him, i have searched everywhere and find no information on the 2.3 release.. Was he mistaken?

I have a friend that works for Sprint. He said that the 2.3 update will be installed exclusively by your local rub and tug and it will include a complimentary happy ending. I can't wait!

As a retention supervisor I can officially say that training has taken place for 2.3 on our Evo's, no release date though... Then of course I realized I had just clicked on an engadget link while I was at work

What kind of details can you share about 2.3? So far Google has been nothing but a tease.
Your statement seems to confirm that EVO's will all receive 2.3? That is good news.

FroYo going official

So I just got a text from a buddy of mine saying his boss's epic updated OTA to 2.2 this morning. His hasn't updated, yet, and I'm still on DK17, so mine won't. We're all in middle TN. If anyone else gets the update, chime in and let us know.
I know everyone here is tired of all the rumors. The wait may finally be over.

I live in DC, but have a Memphis number. Do you think its worth it for me to flash back to DI18 this evening? Right now I am really enjoying DK28 after getting the screen rotation fixed...

Personally, I'm going to wait until I see more people get the update. If you're happy with the rom you have, then you might as well wait, too. I want to minimize my time waiting with a stock phone.

Get your buddy to ask his boss to check his hardware version. Don't want a repeat of the .4 vs .5 issue =P

The both got their phones at the end of October, a few weeks after I got mine. I know my friend's is a .5. I'd be shocked if his boss somehow got a .4 phone.

Samsung hasn't released anything on their twitter feeds or support feeds about a ota update. They are still saying by the end of the month.

I would wait. I have a shiny new quarter that says this is a fake.

Yeah I just thought about the fact the .4 vs .5 issue and I am curious if its just the voicemail update or something...

Right? I hate to get everyone's hopes up for nothing if this isn't right. If I hadn't been told by someone I trust, I wouldn't have bothered starting the thread. I'm ready for this thing to finally drop and source to come out so everyone here can get down to business.

Sad thing is, we're all so fed up with getting our hopes up that none of us are flashing back to DI18 to see if we get the update lol

I already did. I'm waiting for him to relay the request to his boss and get back to me.
edit: just got a response. He says his boss's phone has DK28 with 2.2.1. His phone hasn't updated, but he says the update check is failing for him. :-/ I wish I could see it for my own eyes instead of relying on second hand information.

So his boss was on complete stock DI18, got an update notification, updated, and now has DK28?
Also, make sure its not hardware .4, some people randomly got them from buying em at the store.

Dude, it doesn't seem like you have all the facts first his bosses phone updated now your saying that his phone refused the update. Why don't you have your friend email the update to someone who can do something with it other wise this thread should be closed

Pay attention, the OP's friend's phone has not updated, but his friend's boss's phone has updated. At least according to the story I'm following.

I have been paying attention and that is not what I read. He said his bosses phone is on 2.2.1 DK28 and that he got an update notification but did not update and now is not getting any hits with and update check.

Another Froyo update...

So... I was finally able to talk my wife into updating her horrible mytouch 3g. The only thing she was willing to get was the mytouch 4g. No problem, seeing as how she cares nothing about tweaking or mod'n her phone. I am however a little surprised with her new phone. It came out of the box with 2.2.1, which makes it very snappy with a 1743 quadrant score.
Now getting to the point of this topic. We just came from our local T-mobile store buying the spousal unit a case for her new phone and while there I asked the rep...
Me: "So when can I expect to have 2.2 on my vibrant?"
Rep: "It's already out. My buddy over there has it already."
Me: "I know you CAN get it, but i'm referring to the official release."
Rep: "Ohhhh (puzzled look while looking around). It should be first quarter?"
I just thought this was funny while it transpired. What he secretly meant was 1st fiscal quarter which ends in just 4 days time. I know for a fact that he knows what he is talking about. (Laying the sarcasm on pretty thick)
Just thought I would share this. I hope no one jumps on this thinking I am posting that I actually received the update. Have a great evening all!

Yeah a reps told me that too.
No sarcasm intended.
But might as well edit you're first post and erase it all.
people here have been fed enough lies so now they'll start bashing the OP.

Yep, file with "i know a guy....".
I'm sure he had no clue what you even meant by 2.2.
The epidemic continues.

Froyo really might be near because the leaks are getting better and better. But i don't expect it to come less than a month.

Eh... let em bash away. I wasn't claiming to know any inside intel. I wanted to share a funny story ;-)

Dont see where it gets funny.

I found it kind of funny where the rep said it's already out, even though he knows there's been no Official release.

Notice something different in Kies mini. The firmware upgrade data was 2010-10-01. Now it becomes 2010-12-29, however it still says my JI6 is the latest version. Probably they're updating the file on server. Hope so...

Ehhh the rep was probably some high school kid that doesnt know squat. I love going into TMobile cause most of the reps are clueless.....its good for a laugh.

Mine, too. Goes back and forth between the "Firmware upgrade: 2010-12-29" date and then a "Firmware Version: Failed to connect to the model information server"

I knew that all the people who were saying that it was offical that we were not getting the update were wrong. HTC never sent out any official notification sayignt that they were not updating the phone it was just some tech support guy's email who was obvioulsy clueless.

Finally. Oh boy here we go.

I think I'm going to hold off until the developers get a chance with it. I'd hate to update to it and loss root temporarily.

I agree with gio. Don't forget that you could possibly lose root!

Technically even a rooted stock sense phone should receive the update as the updater isn't turned off/removed. At least thats the way the Eris worked. Unless unrevoked somehow turns off the updater when it roots the phone which I'm not aware of.

Alot of the Dinc ROM developers did turn off the updater back when the Froyo OTA was announced due to annoying, constant pop-ups. At least I know that rmk40 did with Virtuous.

This just added over at Android Central:
"Just got word about how the over-the-air rollout's going to take place. The push is scheduled to start Tuesday, Aug. 16, with an initial 10,000 updates. Another 50,000 will get it on Wednesday, and everybody else on Friday."

If you made a backup of your phone right after you rooted and before you installed a custom ROM like I did then what I'm saying is if you restore this first backup then you should get the update.
