I have a couple questions. 1, I got my unlock code from T-Mo today. If I unlocked it just by popping in a cingular sim and entering the code, does that take care of the cid lock as well? Also, will the RUU released be compatible with the Wing? And lastly, forgive me for this as I stopped using my MDA about 9 months ago and have been using a blackberry until I got my wing, but how do I know which version of WM6 I have installed on my phone. I'm guessing that the latest HTC release will most likely be a newer build, hencewhy I am wondering about installing the newer OS (well, that and removing all the extra T-Mo crap and cooking my own rom). Sorry guys, not tryin' to beat a dead horse, just tryin' to get some clarification.

Sim unlock doesnt CID unlock the phone. Not sure which RUU u talkin bout. Regarding the OS version go to Start->Settings->SystemTab->About. Will state the OS version and aku after the build.

lol Thanks. I actually found the "about" the moment after I posted. As for the RUU, I was under the impression that when HTC releases the WM6 upgrade, it'd have a new loader and/or cid unlock the phone. But, you know what they say about assumptions.
So currently I am using my mytouch 3g (Original) unlocked on At-t and without a dataplan. When T-mobile decides to roll out the 2.2 update, how would I go about getting it? Would they make it available online to install manually (without rooting)? Or would I need to grab a T-mobile sim and download it that way. Also if I used the latter route and used someone else's sim, would they need to have a dataplan for me to download it? Or would my mytouch still detect the update and download it for me without a data-plan.
no data plan is needed as the update can come through wifi thats how i got my 1.6 update so it should be the same with froyo
Alright so if I connect the mytouch to wifi it will automatically find the update to install? No 3g connection to any network needed?

I think for most custom roms it won't work - to be sure roll back to last stock rom and hope to be one of the first
I haven't rooted my phone for awhile for numerous reasons, including the update. So basically OTA isn't over the network's data or anything? It's just a process that uses the internet, in whatever form it gets it?
I think some have missed the key point - you're on AT&T with a MyTouch (just like I am). You won't get the OTA automatically, as it is going to be sent by the carrier, not Google. AT&T doesn't "know" your MyTouch, and they don't support it...
The best solution if you're rooted, and the one I'm going to be doing, is simply to wait for a "clean rooted" version to come out and flash it. The OTA generally won't work on rooted phones since it is typically disabled.
If you're not rooted, then you'd have to find someone with T-Mobile and put their SIM card in and do a check for updates. Not sure if the data plan or wifi alone would be necessary in that case.
I heard that someone could simply manually install the update by looking for the link that the phone downloads it from. And you could do this without rooting, is that true?

If you think about it the new rom that installs on your phone comes with carrier apps (such as MyFaves, etc) and I really can't imagine AT&T sending you a T-Mobile rom. In my opinion (just a theory) I don't think that you would get the update. I could be wrong though.
Well in that case do you think it is likely that someone will be able to find the update file and I can load it onto my phone WITHOUT rooting?

I don't think so.
What's to stop you from rooting your device? It would solve all of your problems.

Actually cant someone who gets the OTA update look up a link in their phone (The location where the phone downloaded the update from) and post the link so people can download the file and manually update? If someone could do that when the update comes out I'd think that be a great help to myself and a few people out there who don't want to root but can't get their update.
Hello,
I have done some searching but have been unable to find the answer so hope you guys can help.
Is there and offical update for the HTC G2 Touch to upgrade the Android frimware past 1.5 yet?
I have looked on the HTC site and drew a blank. If so how easy is this to install and would i lose all my contacts and pre installed apps.
Cheers in advance for any help offered
Yes, there is. You should have had an update pop up on the phone for over the air updating. If you have not then I suggest you restore your firmware to default settings and then connect to a wifi point to get the notification on your phone.
Phone is on default settings and i have connected to wifi many times with no notification.
I have been connected to wifi for 10 mins now and nothing.
Could the fact i am using a Vodafone sim be causing this? I have ordered a free PAYG TMobile sim just in case.

Nope, won't be the sim. Try chaging the date to a month forward. You need to check to see if vodafone has pushed out the updates.
Thanks for your help so far, changing the date did nothing, also Vodafone do not carry this phone.

Then that's why. Your going to have too roll it to WWE version first to get an update.
How do i go about doing that? Is it easy? I have no idesa what WWE mode is i am guessing its nothing to do with the wrestling and some kind of jailbreak.

WWE is the generic ROM that stands for world wide edition (I think!). You need to use the goldcard method/hboot unlocked to change to that.
I suggest you read up on goldcards and for the hboot it's in my sig as 2.1 downgrade. I will try to provide some links shortly.

Because the update will be pushed from the original carrier so putting in a sim card from that carrier would allow the update. In theory.

Yes! I see. I no what you mean now.
I just had my phone to a shop to get it unlocked but they were unable to unlock it has anyone else tried to unlock theres or are there certing builds that cant be unlocked.mine is on orange uk at the moment
Can't you just unlock it with gfree?
You should be able to unlock the phone yourself using the guides posted here on xda forums. Theres a few so just pick one which you can understand and go for it.

Yeah post all the details above and we'll get you going
Is it a prepaid phone or ya got it on plan? I'm sure if it's on plan you can unlock it free yourself. I unlocked mine last night. Just follow the instruction on your mobile carriers website.

Take some time to read through these forums. Also look at phandroid. Both are great communities to help you unlock the potential of the DHD.

Completely explains how to unlock, well at least it did for me (T-Mobile UK) you have to strictly follow the requirements needed though, otherwise you will damage your phone.
(sorry if any of this has already been posted, and thanks to 'jkoljo' for the guide)
Dude, did you try the tool that you maybe used to root it? Try the sim unlock option on there too. Worked for me. Orange uk. Try root tools search for site.

That means you need to downgrade to 1.32 before you can do anything.
Check out the downgrade thread in the Dev Section.

its not rooted so no.
I dont know what rooted is thats why I took it to a shop to get unocked so I'm guessing no one knows the anwser
to unlock ur Simlock u will have to root ur phone to gain write access to patch / alter the file and have gone through the downgrade process to 1.32 FW. A shop prolly wont do that process for you as they tend to do the exact opposite and flash a non rooted Rom.
thanks, im new to this so this has really helped me.

I have had other phones unlocked by shops and they were not rooted so how do shops unlock them
Back in old days when i had a HTC Wildfire with a few clicks i rooted it and started installing new ROMS on to it
But since i got this New Xperia Play : R800i Build NO. 3.0.1.a.0.146 {UK}
I got no clue how to do anything on it. Let me be honest here... I updated my phone using the option under the settings menu in About my phone and seems to be on 2.3.3 and look all my friends have rooted their phones but i got no clue if its even possible . Mabey im not such a noob or something but i would be really greatfull if anyoen could point me atleast to the right direction. Mabey some helpfull links to help a fellow noob
Is your phone sim locked?

Nope... Well not that i know of, because i got my phone from vodafone and once i inserted a sim card from another operator i made a few calls and i could recieve calls too without any problems.

Mine was from vodafone and wasnt sim locked either. Ok you have two choices for root. You can either unlock your bootloader (there are many downsides and advantages to this so you should research it) or downgrade to 2.3.2, root using gingerbreak then OTA update to latest version. That way you will not loose root while updating.

Im on my phone so i can't really link. Look in the android development section, there is a thread all about rooting 2.3.3 with a locked bootloader. OTA means over the air. Basically thats when you download and install an update using just your phone.

No you need an unlocked bootloader to flash custom roms. But please read the pros and cons of unlocking your bootloader first. And understand what you can and can't do
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Ok mate just wanna say thanks a lot for your help and i really appreciate it. You really helped me out here. also just one more thing i need to know. By the looks of it the only cons in unlocking your bootloader seems to be that you will lose warranty and that your phone or your radio may get bricked which apparently can be fixed with restoring a backed up data using a program named omnius for se which i'm actually working on... however my only other concern is if there are any other disadvantages regarding the unblocking the bootloader that you happned to know of and be kind to share it with me Also just wanna say that i can see many tutorials as you said in the development section and i quite frankly i don't know which one applies to me since i realized one of the tutorials are for models with build number .184 where as mine is 3.0.1.a.0.145 AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHICH TUTORIAL TO FOLLOW. So i would be greatfull if you could lend me link to a right tutorial whenever you get free time on the PC
If all you want is root you can do that with a locked bootloader. You will have to downgrade to 2.3.2 (.184) then root then ota to get the latest firmware rooted. Follow the guide here. Or see this post i made here for easier instuctions on downgrading and rooting.
If you want to flash custom roms then you do need an unlocked bootloader like AndroHero has said. You dont need a specific guide to unlock your bootloader. Just go too the SE bootloader unlocking site (it gives you all the instructions you need) http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/. Then just flash doomlords kernel (which autoroots) or anything really from the development section (since i think anything can be rooted with one click with an unlocked bootloader) you will then have root and the ability to flash cutom roms.
Oh btw build number .184 = 2.3.2, build number 3.0.1.a.0.145 = 2.3.3 and build number 4.0.a = 2.3.3 (xloud version, the latest update)
+
If you unlock your bootloader OTA, Pc Companion + SEUS are off limits use any of them after unlocking your bootloader and you will brick your phone. Go to the dev section for the latest updates.
