Ran into this article and it made my day. I really hope this is true, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It looks legit though.
Edit: could this be the "something big" that tmobile said was happening on the 19th?
I've heard somewhere that anything released 2009 and after will have a 2.2 update given to it.

HTC said that *most* of the phones launched in 2010 would get the upgrade. Until now, no other 1st generation phone has had any sort of confirmation for fryo (besides the ION).

... which would be enough since its a 32B and therefore compatible with DREAM. In fact, it would be BETTER than a tmobile OTA since it won't be polluted with the tmobile junk and will come with root.
Watch here for updates for this device: http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html
Great news that Android 2.2 will be added onto the MyTouch.
With that hopefully Cyanogen can get his hands on it as well and get it going for our G1s as well
He is already out with it. It is still under test and lot of things are broken in it, but if you wanna try Froyo just for the heck of it, you can on G1 and Mytouch

Actually, what this will mean is that we will be able to get a STABLE 2.2. The state of "cyanogen stable" is actually extremely unstable.
It would be nice to have an OEM 2.2 build just with a few extras... you know, the things that you actually use rather than just jamming in all the bling you can imagine.

You seem to be confused.
There are 2.2 "ports", based on the EMULATOR IMAGE that comes with the SDK. They don't work in even a marginally usable fashion though -- they're not even worth wasting 10 seconds on.
i downgraded from cyan 6 and unrooted ... asa root was undone i got the first half of 2 files for an OTA. Ditched the phone today in favor of a keyboard (seeing as their essentially the same) before i got the rest of it. It IS coming boys!!!

Absolutely agree. Thats precisely what i'm waiting on. It would be really nice to see other builds come out based on oem. We will see what happens soon. Enomther is waiting to start working on just that i believe. Cant wait to see what he come up with.
The Rom in my signature is based on the OTA for MyTouch/Sapphire and it is amazing.
Reminds me of my other daily driver Super D.... yes it is that good.
Full Wipe and Flash and experience it for yourself.

Enom is one of the first Roms I flashed, he is also up there for reliability.
Will see what he releases as well.
Hopefully he will have an apps2ext built into his Rom.
Honestly the black theme and the above mentioned is the only thing that is missing from the Official AOSP 2.2 OTA
There is a workaround using Titanium Backup however but would want a more streamlined approach to accomplish this.
myTouch 3G Series, Getting Froyo (Android 2.2)
08 June 2010 by David Junior
Good news for all you myTouch 3G owners. You’re getting Android 2.2!!! This has recently been confirmed by T-Mobile that Froyo will be coming soon. There is currently no word on if the G1 will receive this update as well.
Judging from the picture above I would say that every version of the myTouch 3G is getting some Froyo love. So whether you have a version 1.2, Fender or the original, you can expect to get the update to 2.2 soon. This update not only includes all the goodies that Froyo has to offer, there will be a few extra incentives. The genius button will make its way to every myTouch as well as full exchange support and the new Faves gallery. These features are already included in the new myTouch Slide. I guess the anticipation can now begin. Congratulations my Touch owners you’re now the third phone to officially have 2.2 on the way.

Noob question, but doesn't this mean that the 2.2 release for the MT3G will be relatively easily ported to the G1?
yes, exactly. within hours/days this port will be made rooted, and available for g1 as well
wow, cant wait for froyo run on my dreams....
good, but ... they don't speak about Flash as a main feature, officially it will not be supported... so still it will need some hacking
I call bull. They have been talking about updating forever now. If the ORIGIONAL mytouch does get official 2.2 then I will be VERY shocked. Im just glad I rooted and have 2.1 or else I would still be stuck on 1.6.

Its due to the 32B being the android dev phone 2 (google ION) and it has enough space to run 2.2
Google were showing 2.2 running on the ION at the I/O convention
Yeah but...
They also had G1's running 2.2 at Google I/O and the pretty much have come out and said that the G1 isn't officially getting 2.2. I hope it is true, but I have serious doubts.

G1 wont, its possible as the ION 32b and g1 are identical. It's just a space issue, and the way the community gets around this is with a Dangel SPL, cant see t-mobile/google pushing out the danger SPL OTA.
uhh?

I know that the major issue is space on the phone, I just know they also had 2.2 on both G1's and ION's at Google I/O, but that doesn't necessarily mean either phone is getting it esp since they have all but said that the G1 isn't getting 2.2. I hope that ION/MT3G/Magic get 2.2 because it will make it just that much easier to port over to the G1. Until I see either Google/Tmobile/HTC announce that the MT3G is getting it, I have my doubts about it. In reality though most people on this forum will probably have 2.2 on both the G1 and MT3G because of the wonderful devs we have on here. Thanks guys!

Don't think its bull. I was in a T-mobile store this past Satuday, which was before androidspin or tmo news even announced the MyTouch was receiving 2.2. I spoke to a rep there who told me they had just received emails from T-mobile stating that 2.2 was being released soon for the MyTouch.
yeah I'm thinkin' if the device has a google logo on the back it might get a 2.2 update sooner than others.
This should've been in general. :| Please READ the rules before posting such topics as this has little bit to do with development.

Why would you think that? 2.2 Will be released to htc's newest phones as well as motorola's. I won't believe a dream OTA release until I see it we have been promised something like this before, if there is only one for the magic chance's are we are just going to dump that one and put it on our G1's.

Not to drag this any further, but i said "sooner than others", but then again, I am probably wrong. Though the driod as well will probably get a 2.2 update soon(has google logo on it).. I wasn't refering to new android devices too, stats show new android versions dwarf the last version fast..especially as stock ROMS.
"No phones left behind, that's our pledge"
Well what about my G1 huh?
HUH?
Thought so. Broke there promise already.

World Release! Android 2.2 FROYO on the Samsung Galaxy S. Tomorrow 12 o'clock'. AMSTERDAM

At the look of this I suspect that getting 2.2 sent OTA for the Vibrant shouldn't be too far behind.
This is awesome, I heard the vibrant is supposed to get froyo early august. I am impressed with samsung, they are ready stepping up.
Do you think we would still get the update if we rooted the vibrant?

I'm pretty sure read somewhere on the forums that confirmed that even if you root it, you should still receive OTA's. However, might want to find someone that could confirm that. I'm about to go pick up my Vibrant, im so excited!

I don't see why rooting should stop you from getting the update.
If you have done more than just rooting, then I'm assuming you might have trouble getting the OTA update. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in.
EDIT: By "more than just rooting", I mean if you have installed a custom bootloader or a custom rom.
Cool beans!
rbtady said:

Yeah, but if you install it, you will lose root. There will be a modified rom that's rooted VERY shortly after it is released though (Probably before many get the OTA update).
Wow, that was quick! Glad to see Samsung is following through with their promise and fast.
Hopefully the Vibrant will get a release in early August.
if this also includes a GPS fix, i'll be picking up a vibrant within the next week or two... after i pay AT&T my last payment on that contract. whoo!!

Hope so! though t mobile will want to get their hands on it before we see an OTA, of course once a vibrant/captive compatible version hits the internet, we will see a flash ready in no time.
great news!
lol. saw this thread and looked at my twitter tab and the tweet was there waiting for me.
awesome. too bad this isn't for the vibrant. right? just the international?
Non OTA related
This is not official in any capacity. How is this related to OTA release when feed is hosted by samsung-firmware.webs ?
This is so awesome thanks for the info.
SAMSUNG BEAST VIBRANT ™ XDA APP
there should be no reason for those who rooted to not recieve an ota update. however, if you flashed a custom kernal/radio then those ota's might've been disabled.
Anyone noticed this?

Looks like there is already a newer version firmware for vibrant. Mine is JFD. The latest on that page is JFE. Or, that's just a demo page...

I was on the dell support page today. I typed in my Service tag and there was Android 2.1 for the streak for download. I haven't installed it yet. But will do so and check it out. Have anyone spotted this? OS post date was yesterday.
yea I see this too but when you try to download its only 9.3 kb so I know it isnt 2.1, I do wonder if it is some sort of prep for the release of 2.2. Does this mean we can expect something really soon?
Looks like it's just the PC Suite, it was about 32mb. I'll download it when I get home though.

Streak Android Update News
Sorry folks its just a PC suit not the update for froyo. This discussion has been mutted a few times already. and the streak is going straight to 2.2 by the end of the year.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Other than the 2.x apps that won't install on my 1.6 streak, and the annoying no rotate from the home screen (fixed by the adw.launcher), the 1.6 has been light years faster than my old 6.5x windows mobile phone
Many Web sites report AT&T 2.2 officially released from Dell.

Yeah, it would'nt matter anymore unless the release was something higher that 2.2. Plus I figure it will be loaded.with AT&T's bloatwear. It would just be a plus for those who are not savy in rooting and Tweaking their own OS.

Sorry i'm not trying to be anal here, it just makes it seem like we're running android 1.6 as opposed to the awesome custom froyo.
Also don't want new peeps to get all confused and then we get flooded with a bunch of redundant pointless topics.

Also I wouldn't wait for At&t's 2.2... along with all the crap they're gonna put in it, they're definitely gonna remove installation from unknown sources as they have for streaks with android 1.6 sold from bestbuy!

AT&T Froyo 2.2 ROM 318
Still no 2.2. Grrrrrrrrr! I'm prolly going to have to gather the balls to try and use qdl again.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I haven't used a carrier specific rom since my old tilt days...tilt, fuze, tilt 2.
Heck, when I got the tilt 2, I told the at&t drone not to set it up, I was going to blow it out anyway. "but...but...you'll void the rom". Yeah, but I won't have the "value" added software bloat either!
I thought about keeping 1.6 on my streak when I got it, just because, coming from windows mobile, it was LIGHT YEARS faster than one of those, but, after delay after delay, I threw qdl, then 318 on it, and it's like a completely new device.
Carriers should GET OUT of the firmware side of things and let the manufacturers handle it, but, since carriers are all about control, don't count on it.
Waiting is just the worst.
That is the main reason I went to flashing.
And the support here for that is super!!
