[Q] What's needed for the official 2.2 update?

Ok, don't think this has been asked before, but if it has - firstly very sorry and secondly I just can't find a clear answer!
- What do you need to be running to be able to receive and install the official 2.2 update when released on an O2 locked Streak?
Since buying my Streak I have subsequently upgraded from the official 1.6 to Steves 2.2 v 1.1 possibly 1.1.1, I'm guessing I have changed the baseband as I don't recall what it was originally (currently 20321-EU and the kernal is 2.6.32.9)
I'm guessing I will need to downgrade to an old official version of Android but what too, and with what baseband?
Thanks in advance fellow Streakers

2.1 official update 8105 + stock recovery base band 21-eu

Since nobody has actually been able to try it yet, nobody can say for sure what you'll need except that it needs to be unlocked v00 to get the earliest release.

This stock recovery baseband you talk about is that what I'm currently running - 20321-EU???

That's the O2 baseband, your update will be in December with the rest of us.

So does that mean I will still receive the OTA update without having to downgrade to 2.1 or 1.6 even with all the unofficial upgrades I've done???

2.2.2 streak rom question

I just recently picked up a dell streak. It's brand new with what I'm guessing it the latest shipped rom which is build number 15274 running android version 2.2.2
All I see is custom roms and reflashing back to other roms to root....blah blah blah...is there a way to just root my current rom and not have to flash a completely new one? I'm all for supporting the community, I'd just like to keep this as device as clean as possible and remove all the bloatware.

Download SuperOneClick v1.5.5 and root away. Dont forget to put your phone into USB debugging mode before rooting, its very important that you do that. Or just follow the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925853 good luck.

Wow thanks, I totally skipped over that post!!! I guess from what I was reading I was expecting the whole process to be a lot more complicated.
Thanks a ton!

Anytime.

How come Dell don't push out the 2.2.2 version OTA to their customers?
I check for updates every day, but have just once received any. (2.2)
Their way of saying; "we just don't give a f*ck about our customers"?

You should have gotten that update weeks ago. It's been OTA for probably about a month now. And I don't know how much you've read, but a lot of what happened with not updating from 1.6 was probably AT&T's fault because they wouldn't okay the build (speculated). Dell had the source up for 2.2 for a long time, if I remember correctly.

I'm on unlocked stock EU ROM since day one. Just to clarify.
Do you mean the 2.2.2 was shipped OTA, for EU users too?

Ohhh. Didn't notice you were on EU. I don't know if Dell released one for EU yet (probably hasn't since you don't have the option to OTA). Just remember that it's not just the phone maker responsible for updates, the carrier has some say in it, too. Are you still on 1.6? Because you could always try out DJ Steve's ROM if you wanted to try something different.

No, the one OTA update I received, was the 1.6 --> 2.2 on last October.
Since then - nothing. I guess it's only in America people get the 2.2.2.
Thanx for taking time to reply.

No problem, haha. I hope you get it soon

I really want the update to, I'm in the Uk and I'm still on 2.2, I would do it myself but its just to complicated and don't wanna mess up my phone. Has anyone in the Uk got the 2.2.2 upgrade? And to be honest I really wont the 2.3 upgrade, but seeing as we still don't have the 2.2.2 upgrade, I think we'll be waiting a long time :'(

2.2.2?
If someone updated from 1.6, to the "non official" 2.2, is there any difference between it and 2.2.2?

2.2.2 is supposedly immune to the malware loaded from the 50 or so infested apps that Google removed recently from the market.

[Q] Safe to upgrade from 45.3.0.MB860.Retail.en.05 to 4.5.91 OTA

Hello-
About a month ago I installed a beta of 2.3.4 on my Atrix (System Version: 45.3.0.MB860.Retail.en.05, Baseband N_01.77.15P, Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 xphk86 zch68lnxdroid45 #2, Build number olympus_hktw-userdebug 2.3.4 4.5.2A-5_OLH-3 110614 test-keys).
I'm getting tired of all the bugs in this dev version and would like to upgrade to the official 2.3.4.
Is it safe to do so? How would I go about updating it? Download the .zip from motorola's website? -- or is there a safer way of doing this? Would it be safe for me to use RSD/SBF to downgrade and then do OTA?

As you stated you have the hktw 2.3.4 rom so YOU HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER IF YOU TRY TO RSD/SBF ANY MOTO SBF "WITHOUT" you will end with hardbrick
So the safe path to get official gb will be the2dcour 2.3.4+pudding sbf REMEMBER ALWAYS STICK WITH PUDDINGS SBF FROM NOW ON

I forgot the word pudding after "WITHOUT"

Thanks so much mramirezusa!
I can't post links, but is this what I'm looking for? Thread titled: [PUDDING] International House of Pudding! (Unlock/root thread) Updated July 23 2011.

Yeap you have 3 options:
1. Flash 1.83 WITH PUDDING from that thread and then perform OTA directly from your phone to get official 2.3.4/4.5.91
2. Flash 2.3.4 WITH PUDDING from that thread
3. moto-fastboot boot/system/webtop/preinstall/recovery extracted from official moto 2.3.4 SBF
Option 1 and 2 upgrade the bootloader so you CAN NOT perform any downgrade by moto standards (RSD/MSU)
Option 3 do not upgrade the bootloader

Hey--
So, I tried option 2 -- downloaded 2.3.4 + pudding +preroot from that thread here on XDA.
Downloaded the latest drivers, RSDLite 5.3.1, removed the SIM and SD card and flashed this SBF.
Now, I'm stuck in an infinite reboot loop. Can anyone help?
Can I use fastboot to flash a ROM on there? Any recommendations for 2.3.4??
Thanks,
Lee
Edits:: trying to get into Android recovery -- I'm getting the android robot with an exclamation point. Any other options I can try in the menu when you hold the volume down button?
Edit 2:: I got android to boot again using kenneth's hktw + fastboot ... now i'm back on this developer 2.3.4.

UK retail Milestone 2 available to update 2.3?

UK retail Milestone 2 available to update 2.3 yet?
which SBF should we use?

For UK GB SBF look at there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19853860&postcount=341
But it's not possible to downgrade back to Froyo or to custom rom, you have been warned - now it is your choice

it's possible for you to change to other EURO 2.3.4. but impossible for stock froyo or any other custom rom (cm7/miui).

Concerning downgrade, we should try the procedure found by Defy owners.
They already had this downgrade problem (when they moved from Eclair to Froyo), and found a way to do it with a nandroid+sbf flashing. It should probabily work for us as well...
Take a look in defy section on xda, I'm a bit on a hurry and can't search for you right now...

Quick question: if my asian versioned MS2 installs this GB UK update, will it be able to use asian font app?

I am a UK Milestone 2 owner. When I got the phone, it had 70.12 bootloader and Froyo.
After the official Gingerbread update, I was able to go back to stock froyo, as well as custom froyo AND gingerbread ROMs, using RSD Lite, so have no fear - it's *NOT* impossible to go back.

What? Are you serious? Can you be more specific about it then. As far as we've already seen, nobody (except for you right now) was able to do downgrade from stock GB. It looks like you have some sort of magic M2 (no-efuse version)

I`ve read on this forum about engeneering versions of MS2..
this is probably such phone rather than magic

[D720][REF] All OTA and Available Full ROM Packages

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I HAVE CEASED UPDATING THIS THEAD.
The old information contained below will remain for posterity, but will no longer be updated. From this point forward, all updates to this information will be found at http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is a list of all available OTA and full ROM packages for the Nexus S 4G, model D720.
THIS IS FOR D720 ONLY. IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER VARIANT, PLEASE FIND THE THREAD FOR YOUR VARIANT.
Typical disclaimer where I tell you that all of this stuff is at your own risk and I'm not responsible if you mess up your phone, yadda yadda.
These updates are 100% stock and are NOT rooted.
HOW TO FLASH
I'm not giving instructions on how to flash ZIP files. If you don't know how to do that, you probably shouldn't be looking for stuff in this thread. There are plenty of threads on how to flash zips through recovery. Do a little reading before proceeding.
The recovery-flashable full ROM packages will only flash if your phone has no ROM, any custom ROM, or a stock ROM that's older than the version you're trying to flash. For instance, the 2.3.5 full ROM package will flash over the stock 2.3.4 ROM, but not over the stock 2.3.7 ROM.
With fastboot images, you can flash any version over any other version.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET AN ERROR WHILE FLASHING?
If you get an error flashing a recovery-flashable full ROM package, it means that you are running a stock ROM that's newer than the version you're trying to flash. If you're trying to downgrade, then you must install ClockworkMod recovery, then wipe system, boot, data, cache, and Dalvik cache. You will then be able to flash the older version. Optionally, you can also flash fastboot images of a version older than the version you're trying to flash.
If you get an error flashing an incremental update, it means one of four things. Either you don't have a D720, you aren't running a stock ROM, you have changed something with your stock ROM (this includes build.prop changes, radio or bootloader changes as well), or you're running Android 4.X and trying to update manually. These incremental updates only work if you are running a completely, perfectly stock ROM exactly the way Google provides it, with the right radio and the right bootloader. There are no exceptions to this rule. Furthermore, Android 4.X ROMs can no longer be updated manually in stock recovery. See below.
A NOTE ABOUT ANDROID 4.X OTAs
Beginning with Ice Cream Sandwich, Google has made a change to stock recovery that prevents you from flashing future OTA updates manually. Instead you are now required to wait for the OTA notification on your phone and then tap "Reboot and Install."
If this pisses you off, you have the option of unlocking your bootloader, installing either a stock Gingerbread recovery or ClockworkMod recovery, and then flashing the OTA updates manually.
LATEST VERSION
The latest Android version available for D720 is Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.0.4, build IMM76D.
BUILD REFERENCE
GRJ06D - Android 2.3.4
GRJ22 - Android 2.3.4
GRJ90 - Android 2.3.5
GWK74 - Android 2.3.7
A NOTE ABOUT RADIOS
The Android 2.3.7 ROM for the D720 includes a radio that reports itself as D720SPRKE1 but in reality the actual radio version is D720SPRKH1.
FULL ROMS
FASTBOOT IMAGES
If you're comfortable with fastboot, you can flash these images to return your phone back to raw stock.
Generally the best way to do this is to perform the following steps:
Put all six fastboot images in one folder, unlock your bootloader, perform the fastboot flashes, then lock the bootloader:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
FLASHING FASTBOOT IMAGES WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR PHONE'S DATA AND WILL RETURN YOU TO A FACTORY STOCK, UNROOTED STATE.
Android 2.3.7/GWK74/SPRKH1 Radio/KE1 Bootloader
Official factory fastboot images, must be flashed using fastboot on an unlocked bootloader. Contains recovery, radio, and bootloader.
THESE IMAGES MUST BE FLASHED USING BOOTLOADER VERSION D720SPRKC5
RECOVERY-FLASHABLE ROMS
Currently there are no full ROM packages available. Nobody seems to have posted any links to them.
Still need ROMs for:
Android 2.3.4/GRJ06D/SPRKC9 Radio/KC5 Bootloader
Android 2.3.4/GRJ22/SPRKD8 Radio/KC5 Bootloader
Android 2.3.5/GRJ90/SPRKE5 Radio/KC5 Bootloader
Android 2.3.7/GWK74/SPRKH1 Radio/KE1 Bootloader
Android 4.0.4/IMM76D/SPRLC1 Radio/KE1 Bootloader
INCREMENTAL UPDATES
The links provided here are to Google's official update package for each version. Sometimes Google provides a small incremental update package for upgrading between versions, other times they just provide full ROM packages for bigger version upgrades. For instance, Google pushed a small incremental update to upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6. If your phone was running 2.3.1, there is no 2.3.1 to 2.3.6 incremental update, so Google would push the 2.3.6 full ROM package.
If you don't see an upgrade path from your version to your desired version, it means you need to use a full ROM package above instead.
Android 2.3.4 (Build GRJ06D/SPRKC9 Radio/KC5 Bootloader)
2.3.4 (GRJ06D) -> 2.3.4 (GRJ22)
Android 2.3.4 (Build GRJ22/SPRKD8 Radio/KC5 Bootloader)
2.3.4 (GRJ22) -> 2.3.5
Android 2.3.5 (Build GRJ90/SPRKE5 Radio/KC5 Bootloader)
2.3.5 -> 2.3.7
Android 2.3.7 (Build GWK74/SPRKH1 Radio/KE1 Bootloader)
2.3.7 -> 4.0.4

Completely unnecessary thread
We already have 2 threads that have these zips posted

Good afternoon. I had asked this question previously but never received an answer: Is the SPH-D720 not able to use 4.0.? Ice Cream Sandwich???.... If not, then why? I don't understand what the big difference is between the other models that are able to upgrade to the new Android ICS version of the OS, and the SPH-D720. It seems that this is the only model that doesn't have an upgrade to 4.0???.... Is it because of the CDMA chip? Or exactly what is the reason? Am I mistaken? Is there an upgrade from 2.3.7 to 4.0.?......

The 4.0.4 update is being pushed out by Sprint now. If anyone is able to share the OTA package or provide a link to it that would be great.

no official release of ics doesn't mean the ns4g can't run it. there are many custom roms based on ics source available. rumors state an ota update should have begun rolling out today, but I haven't seen any actual proof yet.

I'm ready!

I have updated the first post to add some additional notes and have also added the 2.3.7/GWK74 fastboot images.

Anyone have the official link to the 4.0.4 OTA yet? It's rolling out. Also, could someone with the official OTA (not the leak) tell me what the new radio and bootloader versions are?

Gonna be tricky to get this one, most ns4g users in xda are probably running the leaked version or a custom ROM...

Someone will grab it, I'm sure. I've managed to hunt down the other ones, so I'm sure we'll get this one eventually. haha

I plan on flashing back to stock when I get home sometime over the weekend and turning on my logging on my router to watch all traffic that goes through and some ADB logging to get the URL. Then I will just nandroid back to my custom 4.0.4 that I have been running since a few days after AOSP was updated. Once I have the URL I will reply.

If you get the update notification, say "not now" when it prompts you. Get the filename from /cache, and put this in front of it to get the full URL: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo4g/.

I think it's posted here, but I'm guessing you'd prefer it to be from a user?
