According to the guys at TMoNews the official 1.6 donut rollout started about 1hr 20mins ago. Or 12am EST. For the G1's. Not surprising since they updated the MyAccount app early today.

BE WARNED, if you flash this you will not have root access anymore!!!
But rest assured, someone will fix it up soon.

I also go to: Menu\setting\about phone\system updates. Nothing is update!
So how can I update?!
Thanks
you either wait for the OTA update to come on its own, or wait for someone to post an official 1.6 download link and then flash it through recovery mode.
OTA stands for Over The Air update,supposedly TMobile is the one that sends the updates over,so maybe you will see a pop up windows asking/telling you to update.
I think with cupcake it took them a few weeks to roll it out to everyone, could be a while for the ordinary user.
but there were also official download links up within a few days. this made it easy for people who actually knew how to operate their phones to get the update.
Settings/About Phone/System Update only works once the ota has been stored in /cache. It should ask first if you want to donwload it and apply it
anyone know if 1.6 will be more stable or better than CM?

no there are not threads for people using more recent 1.6 roms than 4.1.11.1 in this forum. so no, no one knows.
4.1.11.1 was experimental for testing and feed back so no it was not as stable as more recent ones since adp1 1.6 rom was released u can't fault it though it was experimental
I must be one of the lucky ones. I got it about 11:25 central time. I have not had time to abuse it yet but some of the interfaces look better. Market and camera look good. I did not even have a sim card in the damn G1 and it pushed through on wifi. go figure. so far so good though.

tmobile is not the ones sending the update OTA. its google.
I have a G1 that has been rooted and is running xROM.
I assume that I will not get the update to 1.6 OTA is that right?
I would like to install it and check it out how would I go about that?
I found this on HTC's Web Site
HTC Developer
About halfway down the screen they have the images for 1.6, 1.5, ect.
I just don't know if I can use one of those images and load it like I did when I loaded xROM.
Thanks.

the speaker blew out, real deal, speaker phone and ring tone were totally garbled. I was a little worried that I screwed myself with the leak, but 2 stores and the chick at the support desk said still warrantied, sent it right out. loading onto my original right now..

Wouldn't it be safe to flash any rom, if you have the recovery on an already rooted phone? That way you can just restore from a nandroid or BART backup if it doesn't work?

Is it worth trying? I read it could be faster, any truth to it?
If you have 1.5 dont install it, install my rom or wait til someone better than I comes up with a rom based on 2.1 ota.
I have been using the leak since the first day it came out.

Doesn't work, tried with both the MR1 and MR2 RUU's -- Bootloader Version Error.
step 1 done:
upgraded leaked version to official 2.1
how exactly is this new version official?
now that i am on 2.1 official
step 2:
trying rooted 1.5 [FAIL] version is older
next step, try just 2.1 rooted version
So I thought I read on here multiple times that it was impossible to upgrade the Eris from the 2.1 Leak to the 2.1 OTA. Just for the hell of it, I gave it a shot. To my amazement it worked. Did I misunderstand the forum or is this really not supposed to happen?
Edit: Grammar
Can you explain more clearly please? Ota from Verizon or?
If you are referring to the "so-called" Verizon OTA release candidate it is possible to update from the 2.1 leak to this version, it's just not possible to update to the 2.1 root which, I may be mistaken, at one point had been called OTA in a few places.
Well When the first 2.1 Leak came out I immediately upgraded to it.
It was this one
HTC 2.1 Leak Rom
Verizon test rom, REJECTED. Do not Install if you want root.
Rom: http://www.sendspace.com/file/frqze0
I downloaded it from the original post from the Taiwanese guy who posted it on here in the first place.
Then just today I thought why not give it a shot and install the newest one. Which was this one.
HTC 2.1 Release Candidate (AKA OTA) Leak Rom
Verizon test rom, possible OTA leak. Do not Install if you want root.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RHNAWUR0
Was this not supposed to be possible or not? I thought I read on here that once the Leaked 2.1 was installed, nothing else could be installed. That we were stuck with it.
Let me know if you need any more info.

Oh ok, I guess that's what I did then. I was just confused. This version seems to run A LOT smoother.
Thanks for the answer.
On the contrary, from all I've read, I was of the understanding that upgrading from 2.1 old leak to 2.1 new leak was not only possible, but recommended, if the few bugs in old 2.1 leak...bugged you. Did my upgrade a few days ago from leak old to leak new, and it I like it.
Thanks for all the hard work, leakers and devs!

This is good to know!!!
It depends on how verizon packages the update. If its OTA, without an RUU or PB00IMG.zip, chances will be small (unless they do a format, then complete install, as custom roms do.) OTA's are targetted from one platform to another.

They usually release only to a few thousand at a time the first few days, then up to 10,000 a day a few days later or something like that, so you might not get it till next week if its truly coming out.
They also have typically announced the update in the Verizonwireless.com forums under the android\incredible section. Until you see it there I would consider it a rumor.
Im just wondering if we will even get the ota if we're rooted or if we will have to unroot first.
According to this, the update is for real:

Oops...can't post a link yet.

gonna have to unroot to get updates.
EDIT: I take this back. It depends on your version. If you have an older version of software and you have not turned off notifications you will get the notification to update. If, however you're running a froyo ROM then my understanding is that you won't see the update.
Been on all the android forums today , so far nobody has gotten the update OTA.
If it was out today vzw would confirm it like they did when we got the first update.
All I heard today was a friend of a friend got the update , RIGHT !
Verizon hasn't released the "official" OTA, but there is a leaked version that people are downloading and installing. It appears to be authentic, but since not an OTA may affect future Radio updates if you install it. Plenty of info over at the Droid Forum.

Which Droid forum?
this droid forum for one thing. Check in the development section and you will see several threads with leaked ota discussing this
.
I'm really anxious to get the update, but I'm going to wait for the OTA. I updated my Eris with a leaked OTA, and I ended up regretting it. It made rooting much more difficult, and stopped me from getting the final OTA.

Do you know how it stopped you from getting the final OTA? i would think if you wiped and went back to a stock ROM the network wouldn't know the difference.

Nope. Known issue with the Eris leak.
Well, I'm not sure if if I have the OTA or not, or just part of it.
I rooted with the original instructions, then updated everything with Unrevoked 3.1. Stock ROM installed, have working WIFI tether.
Yesterday, got a message in my notification bar that a Verizon widget was available. I can now add a new Data Usage widget to my desktop, which says "Data Usage 0.0/0 MB Estimate as of N/A". Not sure why it isn't updating, but it's possible that it's related to me having a corporate rather than a personal account.
Never got a prompt to install any OTA. Tethering still works.
Hardware version 0002, Firmware version 2.1-update1
So maybe the Verizon widget was pushed by itself without the full OTA since I don't have the standard recovery?
FYI, the OTA has been halted in favor of packaging it up with the official Android FroYo v2.2 update. So instead up two OTA's we will have one OTA to rule them all!

No, the recommendation would probably be to hold your horses and wait till the OTA get's patched so we can simply upgrade without any hassle.
Using's Dr.Death FOTA fetcher (found here), I've compiled a list of all the shipped roms and their respective OTA updates as of 21/02/2011
I've writen an script that checks all known RUU and OTA version, if it finds an OTA not known, it will be marked as FOUND NEW VERSION ###
WARNINGS: DO NOT FLASH THOSE OVER A ROOTED ROM OR YOU'LL LOSE IT!
All Froyo (3.x) updates includes an new HBOOT 1.01 and can't be S-OFF
All versions above 1.x can't be rooted, if you update, you'll have to downgrade the phone
OTA updates are patches only and can be used exclusively for the rom version it was built for.

No idea, it's the letter after the rom version, I thought I'll leave it, could it be R for Radio? I'll go check the content of those OTA and see if there's any similarity and/or difference.
For download, no problem, I can have them uploaded to my server.
I'll look into finding their change logs but that's lot of manual labor lol

I'd suggest you not update to 2.05 because of the SMS sorting bug unless you use a 3rd party messaging app, when you open a conversation, it starts at the top, oldest first.
If you do still want 2.05, you can grab the HTC asia WWE 1.31.707.2, which then gives you OTA update 1.31.707.3 and then 2.05.707.1
Or one of the Vodafone 1.31.x or 1.32.x
But the best right now is 2.03, I'd just grab 2.03 stock rooted or flash the RUU, in which case you'll loose root and have a harder time to get it back if you choose too
2.03 stock, rooted

but i am using asia_india rom ... for that 1.32 rom doesnt have any ota update ...
Hello everyone,
I'm new here. Haven't done to my Legend anything yet but am considering and I'll read more threads about it on this very good forum. Would like to have Froyo and wifi tethering because of my android tablet.
However, I just thought to mention (maybe this is not the place; if so, I'm sorry) that I run 2.05.720.1 which is not on the list. If you want it and if I can, I wouldn't mind grabbing it and posting it here/sending it to Kwen or whoever will update the list. I haven't noticed any bugs or problems with this build apart from the obvious that it's not Froyo. That's the only reason why I haven't gone cyanogen yet.
Cheers,
Steve
