OTA firmware update (UK)

I've been getting a notification about a security update on my magic. It claims to have already downloaded it (4.6mb), and is asking to install and reboot.
Does anyone know any details about the update? Version numbers, etc? What it changes?

Forgot to mention my current versions:
baseband - 62.50s.20.17u_2.22.19.26I
Kernel - 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf [email protected] #72
Build - crb17

I never received such notification. When I go to System Update, it says that my phone is already up to date. It got exactly the same version as yours.

Me neither - all versions the same. :-o

all Magics with CRB17 software will soon receive an over the air
(OTA) software update approximately 4.5 MB in size
This is a security patch, and nothing to worry about it, everyone with the affected software should get it in the next week.

I'm more worried about it blocking any future hacked firmwares being installed - eg the new rooted firmware 6.0

Upgrade in Vodafone ES network
I have just updated the firmware of my magic. It had CRB17. After the upgrade the new software versions are:
CRB43
62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
2.6.27-00393-g6607056
bye

i have received today the same notification in my htc (vodafone spain). But, what about the root??

@IsAhT sorry but I did not have it rooted before the update, so I cannot tell you the effects of this upgrade over a rooted terminal.

got the same thing right now...i just updated it..

i guess .......... if it is just a update to the firmware system should not effect the rooting.

How does the update process work? I'm on a rooted Vodafone UK Magic, but using the Orange mobile network. I've installed Haykuro's SPL, and About phone -> System updates says it's up to date, but the build is CRB17.
Maybe I should give his 6.0r1 ROM a try...

well i am on voda uk and i am not getting any updating because im using the 6.0 sapphire rom were the system update is disable obviously.
that you are on orange and still running CRB17 should be able to get the update. i think they roll the update gradually like TMOBILE done with the G1 to upgrade to cupcake 1.5,they started with 10% then 20% and so on of the G1 population till they hit 100%.

so after the rooting process installing haykuro's SPL, whats the 'best' rom to choose and where can i get it?.
im on CRB17 as well after trying to get root, which i dont think worked. Is there pre-rooted rom floating about?
im on vodafone UK magic as well

HTC Hero 2.1 updates in Philippines

Hi! I was just wondering if any users in the Philippines has already received the OTA 2.1 updates for their HTC Hero? I currently own a rooted hero and I still havent received any notifications. I tried to adjust the date as suggested here but still no notifications. I have a strange feeling that bec my phone is rooted that why i havent received it yet. Anyway, I hope someone here can help me figure it out.
Phone info:
Rooted HTC hero

Baseband version 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel version 2.6.27-mck-teknologist-1.9root at neutrino

Software version 1.0.0.A6288
Also, there no search for updates option on the Settings>about phone menu.
Thanks,

[Q] Question - what is JI6 update vs 2.1 Update1?

This may be a stupid question, but what is the different between the JI6 update and the 2.1 update1?
I just got a replacement phone from T-Mob and it claims to have firmware version 2.1 update1 but the baseband version is JFD.
Or maybe I'm trying to understand what things are in baseband vs. what is in firmware. I assume one difference is that its easy to change the firmware, but that does not help me much.
Thanks

JI6 is latest and 2.1 update 1 is the old version
I really don't know if there was a pre release version 2.1 (without update 1)...
as far as i know, the very first vibrant came with 2.1 update 1 (or JFD), and that's what you have now.
You should get this updated to JI6...

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers....
Eclair 2.1 update1 is the stock ROM that comes pre-installed on the Vibrant.
JFD is the launch version of that firmware.
The newest revision of the Eclair 2.1 update1 is JI6 which, I'm sure you've seen a thread or two about, attempts to fix many of the issues users were having with GPS/Sync/etc. If you realllllly wanted to simplify it, and I know this is completely wrong but follow me here, you have Eclair 2.1 update1(JFD). JI6 would essentially be Eclair 2.1 update1(JI6).
Since you've got a vanilla Vibrant, I'd suggest you charge up your phone and head over to the Kies Mini page to grab the JI6 update. Of course you could also wait for the OTA (over the air) update if you felt like it.

[Q] [newbie] Getting there!? (from 2.0.A.0.504)

greeting mates
Just bought my x10 yesterday, left it charging for the night. And when I tried to install z4root this morning, I found out there's no Android Market, no app installer, WTH! I thought they may be "hiding" somewhere! My friend kept swearing Market had to be there, and I had to take photos on the app screens to shut him up! Anyway, I get the install done through Android SDK!
My current phone soft-spec:
fw:2.1-update1
baseband ver: 2.0.46
kernel ver: 2.6.29
build#: 2.0.A.0.504
I'm wondering which rom I should update 1st. First I saw K10, which requires 2.0.2.A.0.24, so I looked at the generic rooted 2.0.2.A.0.24, and then I found the dual-touch stock 2.0.2.A.0.24. Would be great if I can find a generic rooted 2.0.2.A.0.24 with dual-touch! A bit overwhelmed atm, any suggestions/directions would be nice! Should I worry about the baseband?

install Dual-Touch 2.0.2.A.0.24

If I flash the 2.0.2.A.0.24_for_X10-flasher SIN files, can I then use xrecovery to install those 2.0.2.A.0.24 customized roms straight from 2.0.A.0.504?
edit: I ran the SAM4.0 and did a software update, now I'm @ 2.0.2.A.0.24, guess I would have to use the good old root method!

Yes, that's the procedure.

back to stock

Hi
I was on darky's rom 10.2 but i couldn't get along with that battery issue gingerbread has it and also wanted to go back to stock froyo. I flashed eclair XWJM7 (i read somwhere that is better to flash eclair first) in order to update through kies to FROYO. But when i connect to kies (it's the latest update) it says that "this version cannot be updated". I am from Romania and my network is Orange. I just want to have my phone back as it was when i bought it.
current firmware version: PDA:JM7 / PHONE:JM3 / CSC:JM1 (XEN)
please someone help me and thanks in advance

probably better to just flash the stock version your phone came with. then update from there.

k......only if i knew what stock version my phone came with. all that i know is that it was eclair.
