1.6 out, anyone gotten it?

Any MyTouch users received it yet? Id like to get my hopes up...
If so where do you live?

Ive had it for a couple weeks...... LOOK BELOW

nice, i meant the ota though. After the countless hours i spent on my rooted g1 instead of studying in law school ive decided to keep this bad boy stock, so i have to wait (impatiently) for the ota...the anticipation is killing me

nope I'm rooted and plan to stay that way.

For cupcake and donut the g1's without root were able to utilize a flashable update, i guess no love for the mytouch...really thought id have the ota by now

Is the phone still capable of receiving ota's after this or will i need to just do them manually from now on? Im assuming i simply wont get the the donut ota? thanks

yes, its the official update

I renamed the .zip file to update.zip and put it on the root of my sd card.. but when I boot the phone by holding down Home and Power, I get the ! pic in the center of the display but at this point I can't figure out how to apply update.zip
Can anyone help?

Well I figured out how to boot it to look at update.zip on the sdcard, but I receive errors when I try to upgrade the phone. It doesn't appear this is the correct update bundle.

My GF got hers but I haven't got mine!! Mountlake Terrace, WA

I got it today and screwed up a few of the apps i had installed included the HTC_IME keyboard that I really liked.

Both my myTouch and my wife's G1 got the 1.6 OTA in Los Angeles over the weekend. While it did mess up a few of the apps I ran, a bunch have already been updated in the Market. The HTC_IME keyboard was also messed up but there is an updated version availabe -- do a search in the Dream sections here; I downloaded the new one from there and it's working fine again.
EDIT:
Here's the thread where I got the new HTC_IME that works with the 1.6 update:

Froyo Update
My Intercept updated to Android Froyo 2.2 this morning!

Guys, there's a ton of talk that the Froyo update bricked half the phones that did it. Happened to my sister's phone this morning. It installs, then gives you the triangle with the exclamation mark. When you reboot, it freezes after the Samsung animation.

No problems here....wife's intercept.......good to go.....noticeably faster...home and back button work fine now. Good stuff

My sister updated hers this morning....nothing like a full upgrade OTA!!! looks great, went smoothly BTW, just so there's no confusion, updating formats your internal storage....back up all your data first!!! You'll lose messages, apps, games, contacts, settings, etc.

Update was pushed to me, I tried it it failed because I have inxane's custom recovery installing so I need to find a download of the rom or wait for ubuntdroid to come up with a 2.2 release

Here you go. Not sure if it's 2.1 or 2.2, either way I'm using it unbrick my sister's because the OTA has a 50/50 chance of working. Also the stock kernel is here:

Wife's phone updated fine to froyo this morning! Working a lot better!!

Bricked my wife's phone this morning. Took it into the store and they replaced the phone. Updated the new phone without a problem. Phone is way better than it was before IMHO.

Got it this morning, installed cleanly. Spent all day trying to root it. Tried SuperOneClick, Z4, and Rage Against the Cage. Anyone successfully root the Sprint Intercept on 2.1? Thanks.

Z4 won't root for me on 2.2 either

I had tried Universal Androot as well. I haven't heard to many people talking about finding a root that work. YouTube hasn't been much help either.

see here for rooting 2.2
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...t-intercept-permanent-root-using-epic-expoit/

Thanks, I finally got SuperOneClick to work with Froyo.

I managed to unbrick my sister's Intercept and then upgrade it to 2.2. Super easy and no rooting required.
Samsung really has to get their act together. Did you guys see this?
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/18/samsung-pulls-froyo-update-for-bells-vibrant-after-reports-of-f/

Ironically people complain about Samsung being slow to update their phones but I wouldn't want them to release a version that bricks the phone instead.

They have done exactly that, though almost half the intercepts updated have bricked during the process lol

Is the 2.2 update only for Intercepts on Sprints service, or does it include those under VM as well?

Need Desperate help

Hello guys, So I got my phone about a week ago. Bought it used cause didnt wanna shell so much to find the price of it drop down to a 1/4 of it by the end of the year. Anyways, so I have searched the internet left and right for my problems and am a few hours away from being hospitalized lol. First I had to learn so much about the andriod os itself. Then there are versions with their unique names. Then there is rooting and all the ROMS out there. I am in the IT industry, just not on the development side of it and boy oh boy, did I have my hands full. I cant even imagine to think what your avg joe would go thorugh but then the avg joe buys it to surf the web and make calls only lol. Anyways, Im gonna list the problems and will appreciate any help but the driod gurus here.
So the whole time im thinking ok when I buy the phone im going Froyo. When I get the phone it already has it. Im scratching my head thinking, the guy he said he did no updates, its only rooted, how in the world does it have froyo?!?! Then I found out that the later version actually came with froyo from the factory. Ok so then I wanted it unlocked. Well to have it unlocked, you need to have apps, right? Theres no friggin app store on the damn thing!! Im thinking ok lemme do a fresh reset of the phone and it should be back, well that didnt help. Did more research and the guys said that maybe its there, just no icon so try searching on the phone. Well theres nothing there. Then I found out a million others crying over the same issue but theres like no solution that really worked for the majority (at least i didnt come across one). So i thought, you know what, im gonna just post it here and see what responses I get. So help me out guys, how do i go about this?

I guess you can use odin to go back to STOCK JFD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13132341#post13132341
Guess you have to skip step 1 though.

I would use odin to go back to the old factory firmware. Then if you want you can use kies to upgrade back to 2.2, or you can root and use a custom rom. I can't begin to tell you how much better this phone is running a custom rom.

Go to settings then list the version and kernel in the 'about' tab. This should tell how much your phone is modded. Also just in case you didn't know, the app store in Android is called market because app store is trade marked by apple.

Not exactly sure what you are asking. Are you trying to reinstall the market app? Are you trying to root the phone? If you just got the phone and have nothing to lose in terms of information, then Odin back to stock 2.1 and then root the phone again and everything should be there. Directions for Odin are on the Team Whiskey website in Shorty's Locker along with the files you will need to accomplish this. READ the directions carefully and you should be fine and forget about reinstalling Froyo. Froyo changed recovery from 2e to 3e which affected Clockwork Mod. If you flash back to 2.1 and reroot you will be able to install custom ROM's, Kernels and Themes without difficulty.
Steps to use:
Get Odin 1.7 or 1.8
Get the USB Samsung Drivers for your PC. NOT STOCK WINDOWS DRIVERS
Download T959UVJFD - This is your baseband
Download 512.pit file - Drive partition
Read the tutorials on Odin and run the restore. You will be back to 2.1 eclair.
Then root the phone again. I use SuperOneClickv1.7 and it works fine.

Not a problem, it just so happens that I have the Market.apk and as long as its rooted (and sounds as if it is) then you should have no problem installing. I got this apk from the forums here on XDA a couple of months ago and it should still work flawlessly, hope I was able to help and good luck!

use odin to back to eclair and re root everything should work

Also you can get everything you need to go back to stock again here and is noob, and expert friendly

Hey thanks for the zip file. I wasnt exactly sur eon how do you put this on to the phone through kies and didnt really know which folder to put it in. So i went online through my phone and tried it from there but got the message of Cannot download. The content is not supported on the phone. I tried downloading winzip thinking maybe it was the reason but got the same error message

just drop it on your sdcard. Once there you should be able to access it through an app called my files. select the apk and it should install. Once installed reboot phone for good measure and try it.

Yeah I guess I should have explained further, you need to place the file on the phone so if I understand correctly you downloaded it str8 to the phone. As previously stated by madguitarist63 go to my files and check to see if the apk is there. The file should not be zipped, XDA does that and when its downloaded it should be in its raw form which is the apk. All you should need to do is select it and it will show you or ask you if you want to install. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help Im more than happy to assist.

That probably means you are running a Team Whiskey custom rom. Go to settings/about phone and go down the list and look for Software version and I believe you will find the name of the TW rom you are running., Perhaps it could be nero or bionix. Good luck!!!

Team Whiskey is one of the best ROMs on here. I'd reccomend trying Trigger and Simply Honey as well. Follow their instructions for flashing and find the one you like best. I personally like both Trigger and Simply Honey and switch back and forth.
Got any questions about doing this or in general pm me. Im not as much of a noob as I use to be

I'm not too sure about the supposed netflix fix with the htc update. As far as I can tell the netflix app is gone from the market. Suppose I take the update and decide I want to reset my phone to factory. I obviously can't install netflix again because its not even available to be download from the market anymore.

if by factory you mean unroot dont do it just wait the update will be here and netflix should show up again

No I mean to do a factory reset. Lets say I have unrooted gingerbread update from before and I update to this upcoming one. I decide to do a factory reset to go back to OEM state. I will obviously have to reinstall my apps again from the market. But the netflix app is no longer available to be download from the market. Which leaves me to believe that there is a problem on Netflix's end.
Another thing is that I am on Froyo now and I am still having problems with Netflix. It doesn't seem like Netflix's problem is limited to gingerbread.

Had the NetFlix app already installed from prior use, and it actually never stopped working for me. Went to open this morning got prompted for the "New Version of application is found" Clicked ok and get "Not found" The requested item could not be found. Confirmed not working.
NetFlix must be playing with the update. If I hit "Cancel" it will sit at a White screen and Netflix will load.

Can't redownload some apps after update

I'm a new user to Android and with the help of some threads on here I was able to root and then unroot my phone to get the 2.3.5 OTA. My problem is now I can't redownload some apps since the OTA, MLB at bat for example. When my phone was stock, and when it was rooted the app downloaded with no issues. Now since the 2.3.5 update it says the app is not compatible with my phone when I try to send the download from the My Market page. Any ideas on how I can get this and a couple other apps to download or do I have to wait for them to be compatible with 2.3.5? I'd rather not re-root the phone right now cause I'm still having signal issues and my need to take it into Sprint for replacement.

Wait for the market to update for the new 2.3.5 build fingerprint. Once that is done you will again have access to protected apps.
