I just received an notification for my phone saying I have a system update available. Should I just ignore it, or it is save to do so? Since my phone is rooted and unlocked and I might perform an eng-off, radio and custom rom flash this weekend.
Please advice.

No there is no version number available on the notification. Which part of the phone software will it likely to update, firmware, basdband, kernel, or all of them?
My firmware is 1.40.61.2 with stock android 2.2
kernel: 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
Radio: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
I am currently on UK Three contract, but the phone was purchase separately.

Strange, I am on Vodafone Uk, but phone is sim free, and no update available..., was phone from east or uk stock? , I don't think is 2.3, but 1.72 they removed, 1.83 was for branded and as I know was removed too, not sure what can be..
I had an update from 2.2o to 2.21 yesterday on Orange.
It didnt seem to do any harm but im running stock.

Oh yes, I forgot, branded dhd just get it now 2.2.1, I am on 2.2.1 already, just before christmas, and very lucky, no any problems.., but still 2.3 will be nice ...
I was wondering if its better to install a new kernel and radio first better I install a custom Rom. Or it doesn't really matter which order I do it in.
Thanks.

Don't really understand what your trying to say! I would recommend, as Kali himself does, flashing one of the newer radios as they all seem to improve battery life, the most recommended one is Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF although I am currently running Radio_12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3
which seems fine to me.

You'll need ENG h-boot if something goes awry in the flashing as it allows you to issue fastboot commands which can save a potentially bricked phone, plus it is the only way you can currently flash the new radio

thanks for your advice
would the efficiency of the radio varies from phone to phone or network to network?
since I am doing this whole process slate clean, which order would u recommend I install them in? roms, radio, kernel?
well, i'd definately do the rom last, as you would probably have to reinstall it after patching a new radio anyway.
Just flashed Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF.
So it doesn't matter if I flash the kernel or the rom first right?
i was wondering what radios are people are using
and also what is the NEWEST RADIO?

My radio is in my sig. The newest radio is the one with the highest version number.
Ok, maybe I suck at searching, and if I missed it, I apologize, but...
Has anyone made a rooted version of the OFFICIAL (not leaked version) stock Gingerbread rom yet? I'm basically looking for the complete OTA update with no changes except root.
And please don't make fun... I actually LIKE some of the T-Mobile bloat, but much of it does me no good as I'm using the handset with Wind Mobile. I want to stay stock, but keep root so I can freeze/delete the bloat I don't need or want.
I suspect it's a little early in the OTA to be looking for this, but I thought it was worth a shot anyway.
Thanks
It's on the first page of the Dev section. Don't know how you missed it.

Aha! Found it.
Sorry. I read through that thread a while ago and saw that some were having issues with mail, so I moved on. Apparently that issue had been resolved since I first read that thread. My mistake.
Thanks for the help.
Now to figure out how to do this without bricking my phone..
Research time!

No problem. Although you should try VU if you haven't. Much more appealing than TMO's mySense.
EDIT: Wait, I notice that you're in Canada. So I'm assuming you have the HTC Panache? If so then I'm not sure if this would be compatible. Again I'm just assuming, just make sure.
Unlocked MyTouch 4G actually.
Main reason I'm sticking with stock is that I actually like the genius button feature and swype keyboard.

Rooted version installed today. Very easy, runs great. No mail app though so I switched to maildroid.

Thats not the official version that is being sent out OTA and via sdcard (at some retail locations) the official one:
Build-2.09.531.1 CL54593 release-keys
Software-2.09.531.1
Baseband: 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M
has yet to be uploaded, correct me if I am wrong. But telling people that is the official version being released by tmo is incorrect.

Yeah, I thought it was the OFFICIAL version myself. Now I have a few issues after flashing the ROM, and being a new member, I can't even let anyone know about it as I can't post in that thread....
1) Lost my Mail app. No big deal - I just installed Maildroid.
2) GPS isn't working. It's turned on, but I'm not getting a lock at all in either the coverage mapper app or Google maps. This IS a big deal.
If anyone has a solution to problem #2, please let me know.
*EDIT*
Here's what I got now:
Android version 2.3.4
Build number 2.19.531.1 CL95282 release-keys
Baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel version 2.6.35.10-g225de41

Well, the radio is definitely wrong comparing to the official version, and it looks like flashing the newest radio should fix the issue according to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1185039.html
So assuming that the newest radio is 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M, if I can find it then it should play nice with the rest of the updated ROM?
Alternatively, can I just download the Panache radio version or the Froyo radio I had before and flash one of them?
Sorry for the noob questions here, but I'm just getting into this and I'm trying to be careful. Files and directions I'm finding with no problems, but compatibility specifics are still a little beyond my reach.
You have stock radio. if you wanted updated radio for that you should have renamed the zip as pd15img and flash in hboot... I think... Please read the whole thread before doing so. anyways try flashing KC's version of the leaked tmo. btw radios are the top sticky in the android dev section.

LOL! ”I think” does not inspire confidence....
This whole thing is frustrating, and it's largely my own fault for just taking someone's word for it instead of checking myself.
Either way, what's done is done, and I'll just try to switch the radio and run as is until someone makes an untouched but rooted official stock version.
When and if that happens, I'll start fresh.
I'm not feeling up to setting up my phone from scratch yet again at the moment.

lol sorry i remember going through the thread over a month ago or so, and I was on my phone and too lazy to search it myself. I am still lazy to search it, but from my experience, KC's version is more "user-friendly" it's stock too, so give that a go.
I have a plan, but I understand that flashing a radio is somewhat of a risky procedure, so I'm looking for verification on a few things before I start.
As I said above, once someone comes out with a rooted but otherwise untouched OFFICIAL (final) Gingerbread stock ROM with radio, I'll just replace the whole mess, but until then....
So, I'm permarooted using visionary. S off checked in hboot. I do NOT have radio s off though, from what I've read - don't know if that really makes a difference.

Any help is appreciated as I can't afford to brick my phone right now, and I wouldn't be doing this except my GPS hasn't worked since I flashed the ROM, and I need it.
That's exactly how I did it; GPS is working fine now. Radio flash was very easy. S=off (without true radio s=off) is all you need. If you can figure out how to get radio s=off using this rom, lmk...

Maybe I goofed on the first link - I'll correct it later, it's too hard to do on my phone.. Fat fingers...
As for the radios, I know. I don't want to flash the ROM again, just the radio to hopefully remedy my lack of GPS. Just wanted to make sure that that particular radio was compatible with the rooted stock Gingerbread ROM I flashed.

There is no "perfect" radio solution for everyone. Each person has a different experience with each radio.
If I had to make a recommendation to a T-Mo US user with a G2, it would be the stock OTA radio. That would be Vision_Radio_12.52. 60.25_26.08.04.30.

The radio I posted is the most up to date radio for T-mobile USA. The one that came with the 2.3 OTA. So yes, you will probably see better results with the updated radio.
1. Is a radio that is from a GB firmware compatible with phone that is running a Froyo firmware?
2. If not then would i have to upgrade to the rooted 2.3.4 and then be able to change the radio?
3. Also does a nand backup made on one radio and firmware work on a different radio and firmware or would it just revert back
I've never heard of radios being incompatible with ROMs on this device.
The radio is not backed up or restored by a nandroid.

1. Gingerbread radios are for Gingerbread, and Froyo radios are for Froyo
2. Yes, upgrade to 2.3.4 then change the radio ONLY IF YOU NEED TO
3. Nandroid doesn't make a backup since wiping everything does not change the radio.

That is just what I suppose. I wouldn't take any risks flashing GB radio on Froyo...could brick it. So just stick to same firmware, same radio.

Yes. You will be stock GB, except rooted.
You may be right, as I know other devices have this issue. The thunderbolt, for instance has at least one thread dedicated to the topic. However, I don't recall anyone EVER reporting a brick related to radio version on the Glacier.
Can anyone report that they have?
