Can you please let us know which operator and if your dhd is branded or unbranded? many thanks...

The OTA is only for Branded phones from what I've heard Unbranded have to wait for 2.3 so we're stuck with the ****ty SMS bug and all the other issues with 1.72 unless you downgrade.

doh, wrong thread...

DHD UK Software Upgrade
Turns out its a minor update to 2.2.1. i.e. software number 1.84.707.2. Not the 2.3 we are all waiting for.
Mine is unbranded on giffgaff.

Got my update last week on my t-mobile branded ROM
Sent from my Desire HD

I have just checked on my T-Mobile DHD and there was an update, I've downloaded and installed it and the first thing I noticed is that USB debugging was no longer enabled, I've re enabled it. Will see how it goes.
Does anyone know if there is any details on this update, its taken me to build number 1.84.110.3.
A quick G00gle search for 1.84.110.3 is showing posts from people elsewhere claiming better battery life, better display and faster loading times for the gallery. Obviously none of this could be true so I would take it with a pinch of salt until you have tested it yourself.

mine is a sim free phone so i could not login to look at the changelog
perhaps if yours is branded tmobile you could do so, and post the changelog here ?
there must be some change or why would they post it dated 15/03/10 ???

there is no changelog from htc's site. it's just a small "updated" t-mo uk ROM, still based on the very first 1.43 ROMs. i wont call it an update at all. FYI, this so called update has been made available in xda for a long time now. i've downloaded it and compared the Hash, and they are 100% identical.
omg!
if this is the update i've waited 3 months for then heads are gonna roll!
is it actually the exact same rom as before?
what the hell was the point in it?

It's not even an update. Its the exact same version number that I have on my original ROM T-Mobile HD2 - ROM Version:1.43.110.2.
And yes, I still have my original ROM. It works okay for what I do, and want to stick with official ROMs if possible. Maybe in the future if T-Mobile don't give a real update, or I hit serious issues, but for now I'd like to keep my warranty intact. I'm aware I can re-flash it easily back to the original ROM (even more so now that ROM is officially available to download) - however my concern is over times when I get a fault which means I cannot re-flash it.
i'm on the original t-mobile rom and find it suitable. the only real change ive made is to revert back to the windows messaging set up, not htc messages.
how many people on the original rom have had problems with HTC messaging?
The disclaimer says:
* This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading.
This may 'unlock' t-mobile from their current position and allow them the HTC rom upgrade path.
Has anyone tried this?

Interesting point, however I suspect it's a standard disclaimer they put onto their ROM downloads. Would be interesting though for someone to confirm?
Well, someone try and download it using their S/N and try flashing. Worst that happens is it says 'Incorrect Vendor ID'

rom upgrade INDIA
when is a rom upgrade for indian users coming??????????
ANy Help HEre....
At least we now have an official T-Mobile ROM we can revert to if we ever need to take the phone back.
I know they tend not to bother if you install other ROMs, but nice to have it as a fallback option.
*sigh*
Goldcard here we come... Interesting that on t-mo's own forum thread
they haven't actually announced the availability of this yet (even though they must be able to see their own customers fuming away...)
support.t-mobile.co.uk/discussions/index?page=forums&topic=801038058f61be601258e88860f007fca&messageit.offset=70
(can't post the link, so you'll have to cut and paste..)
I don't even want to think what the reaction on there is going to be once they actually announce it.
Ah, no, they'll mark it as solved, and no-one will be able to post! Good stuff, eh?
I tried it just incase it was generic but that was a a massive waste of time, as far as I can see this rom is identical to the factory version.

Flashing firmware asian to european- for ppl who have flashed

Hey guys in my earlier thread some ppl told me that i could update from asian firmware to european firmware. I would like to knw if there would be any problems by doing that, and would like to know ur experiece after flashing.. Thanx for ur replies. I don mind waiting an extra month for asian firmware release if u feel flashing can be problematic, if not i'll b happy to flash.
Ps: I knw a thread like this is available but there are no conclusive answers there. Thanx.
I like to know too. I hope no issue here other than losing the Asian keyboards. I assume one could still get a third party keyboard for say, chinese characters input.
Ya i recieved a reply in hardware zone forum, ppl have upgraded their firmwares from dd or dx to xx, xw (european). No problems were found, infact performance increased a little bit. One of the guys told me not to update cause firmwares released in europe tend to be buggy like beta versions, only final versions are released in asia and other places thats why updates are few. So if i were u i'd wait for firmware to release in my region.. Wat's u take on this? Do u still wanna flash ur phone or do u wanna wait a month extra......
I personally haven't had any issues with the euro fw to speak of. Like doomsdaycs mentioned I definitely experienced performance increase and even more once i installed the modaco rom. I ran the latest JG3 for a few days and it was great then i wanted the modaco rom so I reflashed with JG1 and it's still had no problems. Hope that helps...

That's utter rubbish.
Went from APAC to Euro firmwares, and never looked back.
Let me ask you guys who have gone over to the European firmware a few questions:
1) Has it fixed the 3G/wifi connection problem? (I hope you do not dispute that there is problem )
2) Has the lags/pause gone away? Or just minimized?
3) Has your GPS started to work accurately yet?
4) Does your email still takes ages to load? Or just become less slow?
5) Does the music playing still pause/freeze once in a while?
6) Anyone still able to install stuffs like Chinese keyboards from the Android market place after adopting the Europe firmware?
7) Do you have problem with the market place like what these people say?

Thanks for sharing.
Let me ask you guys who have gone over to the European firmware a few questions:
1) Has it fixed the 3G/wifi connection problem? (I hope you do not dispute that there is problem )
Answer: You need to create a new APN in order to use the 3G network. As for WIFI.. I am able to connect to any WIFI as long as I have the password.
2) Has the lags/pause gone away? Or just minimized?
Answer: Kinda but you will still experience it even with the JG5 firmware.. rumor has it that samsung will release an official fix for this on the end of july but there is no official word from samsung.. all we can do is cross our fingers and hope or best alternative.. use modaco's fix.
3) Has your GPS started to work accurately yet?
Answer: Yup, compared to the stock firmware, it is able to identify my location within a 5 meter radius.
** upgrade to the latest google maps version.
4) Does your email still takes ages to load? Or just become less slow?
Answer: Google.. first time setup.. yes. But now, depending on your location and signal strength.. takes about 8 - 15 seconds.. longer with 2 bars on my phone.. about 30 seconds or so. [GMAIL]
5) Does the music playing still pause/freeze once in a while?
Answer: When I am playing Let's Golf with very low volume then listening to music using the default player at level 6 - 7 volume. I do experience it sometime..
6) Anyone still able to install stuffs like Chinese keyboards from the Android market place after adopting the Europe firmware?
Answer: I am able to install Google Pinyin.. the qwerty keyboard still shows ABC but when you press each letter.. it will show the chinese character equivalent.
7) Do you have problem with the market place like what these people say?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7232231#post7232231
Answer: Weird case, never experienced that issue on my SGS after doing 3 firmware upgrades.
And no, I haven't rooted my phone yet.. hoping to hear from samsung by the month's end to know if they finally release a firmware fix for the memory transfer issue [NAND].

I second that.
The ASIAN version to be honest.. is full of crap from the TELCO's which renders the phone perform slower.. and I'd like to add that, my phone starts and loads faster now without the singtel crap.
Thank you M3keni. I'm glad it looks so positive.

You are welcome bro.
Disclaimer though.. other users may have a different take on my experience with my SGS.. hehehe.
..seriously, samsung should fix the NAND issue with an update firmware soon.
..but we have hardworking developers to go to for MODS.. iLike!
Before you decide and buy the SGS, visit your nearest telco showroom to try and feel the phone. Will help in your decision.
Have a good weekend!
Thanx for the info i'll be flashing madoco rom too.. cheers..
I'm waiting for the Froyo that's supposedly 3 times faster than iPhone 3GS. As it is now, it is a lot slower than even iPhone 3G. The black screen and long pauses is beginning to get to me.
I'm hesitant to root now as I'm uncertain about the hardware aspect of GPS, and my fear that the process might not be fully reversible, hence voiding the warranty potentially.
i have a question that how to upgrade the firmware from Asian to EUR use kies without root??????
i want to change that but have no idea, thx
yes please, even I need to know how to flash my Singtel FW to the eu version like the friends above mentioned. Mainly I want to do this without rooting...!!
And once after upgrading, will it allow me to upgrade to froyo when it is officially released!!! via Kies or OTA.

Can you suggest the fw number of the official euro firmware that you are using now so I can install as well.
No problem at all dude.
Flashed from DDJF3 to XWJG1 (Indian to some European country)... JF3 had major issues... JG1 is good... not great though. Most of the problems of the stock firmware were resolved by Modaco's Custom ROM... try it out!
You guys should give the new firmware JM1 or JM2 a twirl. The difference is night and day...no joke..and that's before root and any modifications.
@netboyhk I initially used this as my starting point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpWcM44On88
Note that in the video he says it HAS to be on a specific com port....ignore that part. It's all relative to how many usb ports u have and how many devices plugged in etc etc. From my experiences it's REALLY hard to brick this phone but your mileage may vary
I think you mean JM1 and JM2 - unless Samsung's moving faster on firmware than I thought...

Galaxy S Official Froyo coming mid September

http://www.areamobile.de/news/16376-android-2-2-fuer-galaxy-s-froyo-update-kommt-mitte-september
This german site apparantly has first-hand information that Samsung is planning to roll out the Froyo update mid-September, via Kies of course...
This makes me wonder how close to final the JPC update was...
Also, Kies ist just downloading an update (and taking forever to do it) which might also point at things approaching some kind of big release. I have no idea whether the GPS fixes and Lag fixes will be included in this mid-September release, but I'd guess it's pretty unlikely since the last info from Samsung was that they are "looking into it" implying that they don't really know yet. Maybe we'll at least see some improvement, test runs with Jm6, Jm7 and JPc indicate that GPS performance is being worked on at least.
We'll see what September will give us and then start hoping for October updates...
I'm watching the new version of Kies trickle on to my PC as I type... I was thinking the same... is this a new Kies which won't brick Bell user's phones when they try to upgrade to Froyo!? It seems finding out what's new will take a while though... been downloading this update for about an hour already... and still have 37meg to go! S

I suppose this is in line with the same line of announcements that were stating that a Korean Froyo would be available by end of August...
Mine just finished. So far all it's telling me is that I can't update from JPC...well...that#s not exactly new, but it also isn't mid-September yet...^^
I"m kinda noob @ android stuff , atm I got the Galaxy S rooted with lag fix is kies the only possibility to get the new offical froyo soon? so yes , is there anyway a good tutorial for how to use kies..

I definitely think delaying past mid-September is a bad move. Many other high end phones using the official 2.2 builds for about a month or more.
Then again, the announcement on Korean Froyo turned out to give false hope to a guy like me. Someone was saying how Optus would be getting this because he heard from an Optus rep that they were. I stated at that time there are 3 days left in August and Korea hadn't been upgraded now we are entering the weekend and will probably end the weekend waking up on the 6th of Sept without Froyo, so if everything else gets delayed the same amount of time...it doesn't mean great things for the rollout.
That said, I do think the hardware is similar enough that I was originally surprised to hear they might get Froyo as many as two weeks before the next countr(y/ies). Maybe they will condense the rollout timeframe.
My Kies doesn´t find new version. Can anybody post the version number of the new one?
versionnumber is : 1.5.1.10074_45
Maybe a download link?
i have 1.5.1.10074_2 and it's the only one available on samsungmobile pages (at least for UK and my country)
mine isnt showing an update either. im running 1.5.1.10074_2
edit:
nevermind. i turned stuff on and off a few times and now its updating.
edit again:
it started doing a download or something. then after maybe 20 seconds it went away and the program restarted and its back to the old version and doesnt show any updates available. wtf..
Kies_1.5.1.10074_2_6 running
Shows as downloading Kies_1.5.1.10074.45

I'd like to see the proof where HTC told them that and no other company/journalist/review/blogging/twitter.
I am very optimist..but if I will not get the update this year, in january I will get read of legend and will buy a much "smarter" phone, like galaxy s or nexus one, altough I will miss the Htc Sense UI.

There is no problem with flash on MSM7227, as long as flash is compiled for it. The Legend has a faster GPU than the desire.
I think it will support Flash, Flash Lite 4 that is. Flash Lite does play Youtube, as shown on Nokia N8. I do think Flash Lite 4 on 2.1 is a bit of a hit or miss experience. Noticed some Flash based content works perfectly with N8 as opposed to Legend.
I dont think we would see them next week, most probably next month, before Christmas, hopefully.

Ofcourse not. They have the same gpu.
It's up to adobe to make flash 10.1 available on older cpus. And like it was mentioned before we will get flash (we had it in 2.1 from the beginning) but it's only flash lite 4.
And we have Froyo !!!
So... One week or so, from when I started this thread and we got Froyo !!! Sort of... Only Vodafone branded in UK FR and DE for now... but still, it's a very good news. Flashing Froyo Vodafone Uk rom as I type... I's a little disappointing as HTC stated unbranded phones will get Froyo first, but even branded it's very good news. My carrier is Vodafone RO and the branding doesn't bother me much, but there are other people out there who don't use/like Vodafone/VFbranding and for them it's not so good news.
This is the update i'm flashing right now h**p://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Legend_Froyo_S_Vodafone_UK_3.14.161.1-2.05.161.1_R_release_135177_156984u2k321537x1cpy3d .zip
Hope to see soon an unbranded update ! (maybe next week or even a few more days from now)
Despite the fact that the "trully " unbranded phones didn't get the update first and will get the update in a weeks I consider this to be a good situation. Any new bugs the update contains will be noticed during this time.
The only problem is when the update will come to those with the "really" branded phones .
HTC has now started to release the Froyo upgrade for the Legend in Europe. Oddly enough, it seems that branded versions of the device actually is getting the good stuff first, contrary to what HTC stated in its announcement. Vodafone users are said to be first in line.
The update is released over-the-air and has a size of 82.88MB, and will bring the full Android 2.2 Sense experience that HTC Desire users enjoy. Has any lucky Legend owners out there gotten the update yet?
Via [EuroDroid]
Bummer.. #!?*
Ok so for the past 2 hours i'm trying to flash froyo update... but my current rom (rodriguezstyle) doesn't want to be erased from my phone (wtf lol). OK I've tried Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3 via exe but I get "unable to flash rom"... how can I get back to Stock Rom and then update ??
Got ClockWork mod? Use MoDaCo's rom, see the Development section or MoDaCo website.
If you want the official OTA, Goldcard, use the downgrade crackin' script, then flash 1.32 Vodafone UK from Shipped Roms, then do the 2 OTA's available. If your phones breaks your fault not mine
Got flash back to stock. OTA in a few minutes after my phone finishes install of rom.zip.Don't really need goldcard... flashing rom.zip works via Clockworkmod Recovery.
Thanks anyway, will post status after finished froyo update.
L.E. it looks like I indeed need goldcard, but my card has ext3 partition for app2sd to work and don't have card reader with SD adapter to format back to fat... how can I format card 8GB to normal FAT with the phone...?
i can guess new sense will be on the table for thouse with unbranded possibly otherwise htc has screwed their unbranded customer big time
I'm quite impressed
Installed Froyo while out with some bud's, a short car-juorney smokin' and first impression is not so bad. It run's verry smoothly, only with stock apps & widgets. Short touchscreen response, without any delay or lags. I like the flashlight, altough it would have been nice to have strobo like on Cyanogen Mod. FM Radio widget comes in 2 sizes; LiveWallpapers (you cannot change a different wallpaper for lockscreen because if you have LWP on desktop it appears on lockscreen also) and many more enhancement's, wifi hotspot, navigation, places and app sharing. Will install my most 150---ish used apps and will post status.
works all good for me as said screen switching is aloott smoother(which i didnt think was possible - was already quick). live wallpapers are nice. and the graphic going into/out of apps looks nice. time will tell if there are any bugs
is the "last sms" problem fixed when viewing text messages?

[Q] When can we get the OFFICIAL 8107 update from AT&T

Hi guys,
Does any body know when can we get the OFFICIAL 8107 update for the AT&T Focus?
But without changing the operator,
I mean official from ATT, please advise,
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Ihab
I'm in New Zealand with an AT&T focus, I got that update two weeks ago I think, maybe longer.

If you have the phone from AT&T then your ROM carrier is AT&T and you will get the 8107 update when AT&T releases it. That does NOT depend on the current carrier. Your phone's IMEI is in the AT&T database, so when Zune checks for update it looks in your phone in the registry for the OEM carrier, which is AT&T. There are ways to change that in the registry, if you're interop unlocked. Read here.

Thanks EnderPspfor your interest,
I know all what you are talking about, I'm pro,
I think it is better to wait for the official ATT update than changing the registry, may be ATT has different and better radio version,
I saw here a lot of guys complaining about slow 3G connections after hacking the registery and update,
I think it is better to waiti,
Any way thanks for your replay

No problem, glad to assist as we're here to help.
I wouldn't bet on AT&T update being better . Actually, if anything, the AT&T updates have "worse" numbers for Radio (and not only) compared to the Rogers, as you can see in several places across the forum, for example here.
Shortly:
Radio Software version: 2103.11.8.1 (AT&T)
Radio software version: 2124.11.9.3 (Rogers)
However, AT&T seem to mod the ROM specific for their network, and while that might be good locally, I doubt it's good overall. But I can't really tell...

Thanks a lot for your replay again,
May be you are right and I sholud change the registry to update,
I'll read more today and take my decision,
Thanks again
Wait?
Waiting for ATT is like waiting for world peace. Good luck with that. I normally wait for the carrier updates but did not with 7720 or 8107. I used the cab sender method, not the registry change method. In either case, you are getting updates off the Microsoft servers.
Thanks for the clarification,
I think I'll change the registery to my operator Vodafone Egypt and get the update
waiting for a good custom ROM from DFT

Yes I'm following it,
But I'm sure that the successor will be better, I hope it will based on the 8107 update
you can try manual update using update cab sender

to be honest with you, I don't trust this method,
flashing a ROM or updating via Zune is preferred,
any way thanks for reminding
sounds like those guys at AT&T don't care about the updates I emailed them about it this what i got back
"I have reviewed your account and the most recent software update was released on 09/27/2011. This was the Windows 7.5 update. If you select settings on your device then phone, it will show you which Windows version you are running. When updates come out for your device, notification will be sent to your phone advising you to update your phone. Unfortunately we are not notified in advance of when new updates are coming out. You can also contact Microsoft at 1-800-642-7676."

This response is not that ATT does not care, it's that they are the last to be notified of updates and the last to know if they are actually going to push the update out; sometimes they wait and skip over an update to have a more significant release. They will not divulge any information until the update is actually released. The only way they will give any hints of an update is if there was a major flaw or demand that customers were looking for ie mango has multitasking custom ringtones, nodo copy and paste. There has been multiple handset receiving official 8107 updates. ATT although the premier carrier for WP7 probably will either wait for the next apollo update or release 8107 offical update about 2 to 4 weeks after the other major carriers (T-mobile) release theres. The reason is they usually incorporate ATT specific features or software with the microsoft update and that ATT is slow in pretty much everything they do haha. You can update with official 8107 update by branding your carrier to rogers through registry edit for the samsung focus. I do not like using cab sender method either.
well i'll wait for them to release it because last time i edited the registry i had install the 7004 roms
