I have an AT&T streak I got a week or so ago. Last night I successfully upgraded it to 2.2 using the info from modaco. (AT&T 1.6 -> o2 1.6 -> 6267-> 2.2)
Today just for giggles I tried to do software update check and noticed the URL for the update check showed my current baseband number (00) but also listed my service tag number. That got me thinking. Is Dell then keeping track of which service tags ship with which baseband and then will not allow ota upgrades if it doesn't match what their records show?
Thoughts? I hope that isn't the case. I was going to return my streak to reorder the US unlocked version they were going to sell in a couple weeks but cancelled that cause I was able to get baseband 00 and 2.2 installed. Now I am wondering if I should still do it cause I don't want to be excluded from further ota updates.
future updates can also be applied the same way you did with 2.2
Yeh I relalize that but still would be nice to just be able to get ota updates and not have to worry about it.
well cant say really much about it since it needs to happen first. my steak is that they use servicetags for the update mechanisme , like they do on pc. this isnt going to send out any personal data but it can track the device if stolen or anything.

I have a g1 t-mobile edition, and just unlocked it and put my o2 sim in.
Is there a way to get the latest (1.6 i think) version of android on?
If so will i lose any of the t-mobile branded bits?
Thanks.
Are you rooted?
If not, you can find the Official T-Mobile 1.6 OTA(DRC83) --here-- you will probably need to install CRC1 FIRST which is located on the same page. This was the procedure I followed to update my unrooted G1 from 1.1
If you have root, you can get the rooted 1.6 from --here--
What T-Mobile branded bits are you referring to? I've noticed The Official seems to be missing MyFaves, whereas the rooted has myfaves, don't know what's up with that...
Nope not rooted, the device is straight out of the box.
Sorry for the vagueness but the tmobile bits i was referring to were losing the t-mobile ring tone, and youtube app?
Also i have a UK version, arent these OTA images region specific?
Finally, when you say i should install the CRC1 first do you mean the 883kb file?
Bit confused as 1.6 is 14.3mb (i.e. small). Dont i need to install 1.0 to 1.5 first?
duplicate post.
sry this is where I have to step aside and hope someone else jumps in :/
Ya, the CRC1 is a super small security update but for some reason I couldn't go from CRB43(cupcake) to 1.6(donut) w/o it. (update fails)
Not sure about the UK vs US versions.. (why I'm hoping someone else can jump in)
All t-mobile bits included(I think their actually just left alone), this is actually a small cupcake mod update. yes 14mb is correct.
Under settings->about phone, what does it say under firmware version? Reason I ask is you may need to update to CRB43 before moving onto 1.6. This would probably help the next helper as well..I still have alot to learn
Firmware version is '1.0'
Build number is kila_uk-user 1.0 TC5-RC8
Slightly hesitant about downloading these images as they are us images and i need a uk image (different number format etc).
Also anyone know if i put in a t-mobile pay as you go sim it will update?
Also (sorry!) does this update come through 3g, and if so does it use your data allowance?
The official LG UK website says now Eclair 2.1 is there now http://wwwstg.lg.com/uk/android/index.jsp
However if I connect my phone it says no update available. Any one else got any luck?
The website is talking about Android 2.1 update. It is not Froyo. It is Ecalir. Your phone might be alreay running on Ecalir. That is why it is saying no update available.
It's Android Eclair (2.1), not froyo (2.2)..
The update has been removed because it was full of bugs and issues. We don't know when LG will publish a new update.
Sorry corrected the title but my phone is running 1.6 and 2.1 is now available according to the website. I know it was withdrawn but this morning it changed to available again.
website is static and still informing that update is available since end of November. The upgrade application is telling you that no upgrade are available because it has been suspended. The upgrade application is the only one able to decide if upgrade is available or not.
The website said yesterday that it was temporary unavailable and changed to available this morning. If I go into the upgrade software It says that V20b is available for United Kingdom (customer support menu click supporting model) . I have V10B. It is there alright.
It just does not want to install might have something to do with that I am currently not in UK even though all setting are for UK in my phone.
Try again. I just updated my gal's phone yesterday night.
I just recently picked up a dell streak. It's brand new with what I'm guessing it the latest shipped rom which is build number 15274 running android version 2.2.2
All I see is custom roms and reflashing back to other roms to root....blah blah blah...is there a way to just root my current rom and not have to flash a completely new one? I'm all for supporting the community, I'd just like to keep this as device as clean as possible and remove all the bloatware.

Download SuperOneClick v1.5.5 and root away. Dont forget to put your phone into USB debugging mode before rooting, its very important that you do that. Or just follow the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925853 good luck.
Wow thanks, I totally skipped over that post!!! I guess from what I was reading I was expecting the whole process to be a lot more complicated.
Thanks a ton!
Anytime.

How come Dell don't push out the 2.2.2 version OTA to their customers?
I check for updates every day, but have just once received any. (2.2)
Their way of saying; "we just don't give a f*ck about our customers"?
You should have gotten that update weeks ago. It's been OTA for probably about a month now. And I don't know how much you've read, but a lot of what happened with not updating from 1.6 was probably AT&T's fault because they wouldn't okay the build (speculated). Dell had the source up for 2.2 for a long time, if I remember correctly.
I'm on unlocked stock EU ROM since day one. Just to clarify.
Do you mean the 2.2.2 was shipped OTA, for EU users too?
Ohhh. Didn't notice you were on EU. I don't know if Dell released one for EU yet (probably hasn't since you don't have the option to OTA). Just remember that it's not just the phone maker responsible for updates, the carrier has some say in it, too. Are you still on 1.6? Because you could always try out DJ Steve's ROM if you wanted to try something different.
No, the one OTA update I received, was the 1.6 --> 2.2 on last October.
Since then - nothing. I guess it's only in America people get the 2.2.2.
Thanx for taking time to reply.
No problem, haha. I hope you get it soon
I really want the update to, I'm in the Uk and I'm still on 2.2, I would do it myself but its just to complicated and don't wanna mess up my phone. Has anyone in the Uk got the 2.2.2 upgrade? And to be honest I really wont the 2.3 upgrade, but seeing as we still don't have the 2.2.2 upgrade, I think we'll be waiting a long time :'(
2.2.2?
If someone updated from 1.6, to the "non official" 2.2, is there any difference between it and 2.2.2?
2.2.2 is supposedly immune to the malware loaded from the 50 or so infested apps that Google removed recently from the market.
So a few weeks back I forced NoDo on my phone. I haven't plugged it into my PC for a bit but this morning when I did I got a message that a 'New Samsung Update' was avaliable for my phone.
Not sure what it is, maybe just some branding things...I'll keep you posed in case no one else has seen/tried this.
It is a firmware update. Ppl who update to NoDo officially will have it inside the NoDo package already. Those updated earlier need to do it separately. It's bug fixes and new features (outlined in WPCentral.com).
I'll have to look that up, I must've missed the article. It went through no problem at least.
Yeah, new features include the AT&T-specific stuff (AT&T address book account type available to add), as well as a change to default camera settings (anti-shake on by default), and a change that prevents you from swiping onto the capacitive buttons from the main display and accidentally activating them (thus exiting a game when swiping too far, etc.) - they respond to taps, but are disabled when your finger starts up on the display portion of the screen. Not sure what else yet...
I don't think that the Samsung update is actually bundled with NoDo (at least not for everyone). I've got the official NoDo update for Rogers in Canada, but none of the Samsung update features (i.e. anti-shaking is still off by default, buttins the same as pre-NoDo).
I assume we are talking about AT&T update unless specified otherwise. Rogers customer get the update a while back. There was a talk of firmware update after you updated to NoDo. These two phones really should have be treated separately.
Can anyone with a Rogers Focus confirm this? Does anyone who got NoDo through Rogers actually have anti-shaking enabled by default?
My thoughts: Rogers did get a firmware update post nodo that did not include anti-shake. AT&T users recently got it bundled with some AT&T specific features. Rogers users still without anti-shake. Maybe soon? Might be waiting to bundle it with other fixes...
does this samsung fimware update gives new numbers in firmware version? because i did not see any firmware version change after official nodo update through zune sync.

Assume you have an AT&T Focus:
1. There are two updates. You need run the update twice.
2. Yes, the firmware version gets bumpped to 11.3.3
ATT Focus
Thye bootloader also changes. I can confirm that the Chevron Updater method does take you to 7390, but does not change the Firmware, Radio Software or Boatloader version. The Samsung Update from Zune (Official ATT) does change these.
It's almost the end of June and I still haven't had the Gingerbread update pushed to my Droid Pro. Does anyone know if this update still has additional rollout waves? Perhaps my company has control over when the update is pushed out, once it completes its own internal security tests? Either way I'd rather not flash my phone manually as I've never found the need to root, and I'd rather do an in-place upgrade that retains all my apps/settings.
No update here either :/ I'd much rather have the official GB update than the one that requires root
Good to know I'm not the only one at least
There is no final Gingerbread for Droid Pro for now (27.06.2011)
To make the story short - there has been no final Gingerbread for Droid Pro yet. Check the thread below to read more:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094588&page=7
The version from this thread does not require root - it's a Motorola beta version that was released to a small amount of people.
Yea ive heard it was just a test release. Only small amount of phones got updated
Thanks for the info. Not having the latest software always makes me antsy, but in this case it's okay since it's not publicly available
I got the update last night sometime. I woke up at 3am to let the dog out and saw my phone had it waiting. Half asleep i accepted the update....
I wake up later pissed because im rooted and now im stuck in limbo again (this happened once during the last update sent out). Now I have to reflash my phone back to a previous stock OS and then reaccept the new updates.. yay lol
ok so i flashed back with an earlier SBF file and updated back to where i was before the GB update. Now i go to about phone and search for update and the GB update is not showing up
