Hi, just bought a T-mobile Mytouch 3G (not the slider version) from Newegg, and people have talked about froyo being pushed automatically. It hasn't happened after a day being left on yet.
There were posts from November with links to files to manually update the phone from 1.6 to 2.2 but those links don't seem to work anymore.
Any way to get stock 2.2 rom anymore anywhere?
Thanks much,
Dan.

Hi all,
For those who do NOT have the New official rom yet..
Just thought you would all like to know that I have just spoken to to HTC customer services after a customer feedback call and he informed me that the New Speed-up rom will be availiable on the UK website tomorrow 16th september......so now we will al have an almost perfect device...
UPDATE
The New Rom is on the HTC website now...
This Rom is for UK and Unlocked Hero's, go here-

Yeah thanks for the encouragment to post here...
But I thought I would let those of us who have not got it or downloaded it early that it would be availiable tomorrow...I hope you approve..
Dave,
I presume we can only install the leaked UK rom if our hero is rooted?
No, I have an Orange Hero which isn't rooted and you can update it using an update.zip file. Instructions are in another thread!
Is this a possibilty - my broadband at home is down due to BT being inept; could I download the update to my phone, transfer it to my laptop and then update? I'm a total noob so my apologies if there is an obvious answer
will it not be OTA ?
when I had my Dream android updates were Over The Air does this mean that when 1.6 Android comes out we will have to wait for HTC to sort it out before we can update unlike with normal android OTA updates ?

From what I have read, google updates i.e. donut, eclair etc will be OTA. However the HTC updates will need to be updated by connecting your phone to your PC.
Hope this helps...
This is great news indeed, I have been polling HTC website like a madman for days now!
Shame the "Nordic" update still didn't have all the Nordic languages, I'm missing Finnish dictionary. Oh well, speed update is really great anyways, I haven't had the guts to install anything unofficial to my UK bought Hero.
Thanks for bringing the good news!
Hi chaps,
I have a T-Mobile G2 - for my phone's warranty to remain intact, do I need to wait for an official T-mobile version of the Rom, or can I update with the official HTC Hero Rom?
Available NOW!!!

I'm not seeing it on the HTC website - can you provide a link, please?
Thank you!
any idea whn will tmobile release their own version??
yeah I have also T-Mobile G2 uk and I can't download from htc website. Can any one upload this rom and give us links unless t-mobile users can't use it. Cheers
Unless your Hero is unlocked, you can't download the rom.
THIS SUCKS!
Contact T-Mobile and complain to them then..! They DO have the ROM.. THEY are withholding its release!
Yeah, because complaining to T-Mobile always works.....
Seems to take aaaaaages to download!
well i just spoke to tmobile technical dept and asked thm abt the update and they were under the intention tht it is going to get pushed like it did for the G1, so I explained to them tht it wont as G2 Touch aint a google branded phone, and then the guy goes he has no idea and also checked his system if they had anything there, luks like we have to wait longer to get this update on our tmobile branded phones.
Hi all, i just wanted to know how a guy at work has the same phone as me on orange and has not updated any roms etc and has firmware 1.6 on his ??? as well as a new market place app ???
He said he got a over the air update ??? (what the hell is this)
ive looked at the htc web and orange but the only rom to download is the one i have , have tried generic but get the customer id error
any ideas on how to update my phone to orange 1.6 firmware would be great my phone details are as follows
thanks in advance, chris
Your sig says "Firmware: 1.6" yet you want to upgrade to 1.6? Am I missing something?
My mistake it should say 1.5 on my signature just edited it now
I don't know where his phone and firmware came from, but there is no *official* 1.6 (Donut) firmware for the Hero.
HTC are going to provide an update to the Hero, but it is going straight from 1.5 to 2.1, skipping 1.6 and 2.0.
Regards,
Dave
Ok thanks Dave are there any details on when that will be ??? And what is over the air update ???

The clue is in the words.
1. Update
2. Over the air.
An 'update' that is delivered 'over the air'.
Phew
An OTA update is one that is automatically sent to your phone via your service provider. Depending on how you phone is set, this may be automatically installed and activated or you may get a prompt asking you if you want it.
Go to Home/Settings/Security/Firmware download to find this setting.
i have htc followed in twitter, and about a month ago (i think) htc tweeted that a certain company would be sending over the air updates.. so anyone who bought a hero from them would recieve the update as long as they had service..
it probably is 1.5, but they called it 1.6 because they no it wont interfere since htc will be skipping 1.6, and also it allowed customers to check and see if they got the update ( if they left it 1.5, customers would be like.. "did i get it!?"

Hi Everyone,
I have an HTC Desire 8182 running Cyanogenmod 6.1 RC 1. Absolutely love the phone. However, I just ordered a Dell Streak direct from Dell (but locked to Rogers - Canada). Unfortunately, this Streak will be stuck at 1.6, and I really would like to get Dell's new release of 2.2 since the reviews coming in are so good.
I would like to stick to Dell's release of 2.2 since everything will be guaranteed ( or at least almost guaranteed ) to work, instead of a custom ROM. However, as I understand it - Dell's release is only available OTA.
My question is - is there any way I can download and install Dell's 2.2 manually in Canada? I have Googled for a solution, but it seems that since 2.2 has been released in the US - there aren't too many people asking about this.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks

look in the general section of this forum, there are instructions on how to install the official dell 2.2 on any streak.
Not Android Development Please Post in the correct forum
Moved to General
Hi, thanks for the reply. I went through one of the stickies in this forum that directed me to go to MoDaCo. At MoDaCo I found this thread :
android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/323902/official-dell-streak-rom-overview/
It basically has links to different .pkg files that are hosted on Dell's Update Server.
Two questions:
1.I thought Dells Update Server wouldn't allow you to download the update unless you used their Desktop program. Or can I just download it regardless?
2.Is it as easy as flashing the .pkg file?
Help please
Anybody here living in Toronto, Canada that really knows the ways of ROM upgrading for the Dell Streak. If you could help me install the official 2.2 update from Dell, I will be more than happy to give you a cash donation in exchange for ROM upgrading service for my Unlock Beta Dell Streak with a baseband of GAUB1A120521-US and currently running on DJSteve's 2.2 version1
We can meet up at malls like Eaton Centre or Yorkdale Mall or coffee shops at Toronto area for you to do the ROM updating on my streak
Please pm me your number, so we can set up the meet up as soon as possible.
Thanks.
Hi,
I rooted my phone back a few months back and was not happy with it so i ended up going to shipped roms and unrooting the phone and intsalling the following RUU: RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed
I have since been reading online that HTC released an update now to Froyo 2.2 for Wildfire but for some reason it says no updates found. I was told by installing the RUU above i will get all OTA updates from HTC but it is saying no updates available
Can someone please advise why i can't get the Froyo 2.2 update ?
It was originally a Vodafone but was told the Vodafone update will be much longer than waiting for it from HTC, i wish i did not bother and kept my Vodafone as they had the update first apprently. I still don't understand why it won't update. Maybe theres something i can do? am i rite in thinking i cannot root the phone again to install latest RUU from Shipped-Roms?
Thanks
anyone please?
I will be gutted if i can't update to Froyo 2.2 one way or another. I don't know if i'm rite but i am sure i was reading back several weeks ago you cannot root a phone more than once, that RUU from shipped-roms was what i was told to download (ruu in first post) as i was told it would receive OTA updates from HTC but it keeps saying no updates available.
Thanks for any help/advice.
Sorry to sound a pest but does someone know what i can do to get the Froyo 2.2 on my phone?
Thanks
SOLVED
Hi,
Just to post back i managed to update manually. The reason why it would not update was because when downloading the RUU from shipped-roms using FireFox it was not downloading the whole file. I then tried in IE and it downloaded the full file. All updated and working
