hey,
I got HTC mytouch 4g a week ago. and I am familiar with some of the terms and whats going on.
Firstly, this is my software information on my phone currently:
Android version: 2.2.1
baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
kernal version: 2.6.32.21-g899d047
[email protected] #1
tues oct 26
build number: 1.17.531.2 CL277036
software number: 1.17.531.2
I have read that there is some OTA update that is applied to htc mytouch 4g and that I need do something about that prior to rooting. Am I suppose to do that then? and is the version of visionary 11 good and "safe" rather than latest versions?
Is there anything else I should read and learn before I tackle rooting? If so, can you please provide the link or let me know what to search exactly. I have checked out the wiki, but I don't really know what I am exactly looking for or should be looking for :S.
thanks!

I have some questions that i couldn't find an answer so i come to you guys. (first off here is my information)
Model Number: HTC Magic
Build number: 3.05.631.7 CL#118917
kERNEL vERSION: 2.6.27-5b47e83
Baseband version: 63.18.55.06KU_6.35.10.18
Firmware version: 1.5
Board version: 32A
Mobile Carrier: Rogers Canada
All i want to do is remove some stock apps some stock HTC apps. But i am told i need to root my phone.( i have some tutorials http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-HTC-magic-in-one-click/ and http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-magic/ )
So what should i do if possible all i really want is to install the updates from htc then download apps and install it with astro and remove some stock apps...
can some one give me some incite to my problem.
What custom ROM is exactly like htc's and just as fast.
Or
What custom ROM should i get if i have to! and how often do updates come out.
Like i want to install the newest ROM from HTC http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=862 but it's only for (Portugal,Denmark, Norway,Germany,Greece,Sweden,Austria,Israel). plus I'm from Canada so I'm guessing it's in a different language

i have used the guide here in this forum after creating a Gold Card
i have already did that to get the 1.83.415.4 update for my phone to be able to use the Arabic official keyboard in this newest update
or at least root my phone and get better custom stable software
i have checked the software update after downgrading but it still saying my phone software is up to date!!!!!!
Well,
i need your help getting the answers for the following:
1- Does my phone became unbranded now after downgrading? i did not saw the usual vodafone logo when starting m phone
2- is there is anyway to force my phone to update the new official software after downgrading?
3- if i can not force it to update ..what i should do to root my phone and which the most safer way to do that (please refer me to step by step guide and a working links to the required tools)
4- what's the most stable software which contains Arabic support and how i can install it in step by step guide..
Thanks in advance for your help and please excuse the long topic as am totally new to android ( it took around 2 weeks to just figure out how to downgrade my phone)
Waiting your answers ASAP
1. Yes its unbranded.
2. You can update officially by downloading an ruu but don't. Best to get radio s-off.
3. Search the development section. You want to perm root and s-off.
4. Leedroid arabic edition.
-----
Someone Swyped my idea.
Thanks for your reply
Good news that my phone became officially unbranded
Well, in another forum (Arabic one) they just adviced me to download the official new rom 1.8xxxx on my pc (they provided me with the links)
then to connect my phne to my pc and then start the installing through my pc
No S-Off needed... No Rooting needed
and guess what... it's working like charm now
Thanks everybody
Yep, but someone could find the complete lack of root a downside
Mostly, I'm making this for me, so I don't have to keep skipping through the various update threads we have now, so post how it went for you here, please!
And include what setup you updated from, whether fully stock, stock rooted, still customized, etc....
OTA_Supersonic_4.22.651.2-3.70.651.1_releasefd659qys0dtscpjv
THIS WILL MOST LIKELY TAKE AWAY YOUR ROOT
HERE
This is mainly for the brains here on XDA to ROOT for us.

That's just lame....
I'm thinking that when the OTA for the Moment came out going from 1.5 to 2.1, there were a few later updates that added some features. ie v.CL14 to v.DI06 to v.DI18 to finally v.DJ07.
How an OS update wouldn't have an updated version of Sense, when we KNOW 2.1 works on these phones is baffling

Unless you're an idiot like me that knows 2 years is too long with one device, so I upped 40 bucks a month to stay Ponyboy gold....
Hi,
a few weeks ago I updated my stock german Xoom so the following:
Model Number: XZ601
Android Version: 3.0.1
Firmware: GAS_EMEA_USAEVRSTUTMDE_P007
Baseband Version: N_01.83.21P
Baseband Configuration Version: UCAEVEUB1B8EU02D.0R
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1
Build Number: H.6.1-38-5
I think this was not really software update but I did this to root the thing. Now, when I click System Upgrade, the device tells me it was up to date. Is this update functionality gone since I rooted the tablet or is Motorola still not providing Android 3.1 in EMEA?
Is there a working manual update to german 3.1 out by now? I think last time I checked there was none. Can someone bring me up to speed plz?
cheers
mathiase
My stock german xoom is not getting update either when i check for update. and its absolutely stock, i did not root it or do anything to it.
i guess 3.1 did not land in EMEA yet...at least not in Germany...
Hi,
okay that means it does not necessarily have to do with my rooted version. But the question remains: will I get the update through the usual channel with the rooted device?
Motorola is really straining me here ... What about manual updates? Is there something out for german devices by now?
cheers
mathiase
I hadn't heard of any updates going out to anyone other than japan/china/australia?
My phone just updated this morning, I don't know what version I was on before, but now my root is gone.
I used Odin to put L720VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_L720VPUAMDC_HOME.tar on my phone the last time I rooted.
But now I am worried that something has changed, and if I use that to put it back on my phone, and regain the root; something will go wrong and bam, brick.
Any assistance would be great.
This is the about info
Software Version L720VPUAMDL
Hardware 720.08
Model SPH-L720
Android V 4.2.
Baseban Versiion L720VPUAMDL
