[Q] Do i have 2.1?

About 5 weeks ago my Hero (unbranded and unlocked!) got an OTA update for 2.1. Then i had a KPN sim. After that update i switched network to T-mobile. I wonder if i have the full 2.1 update now looking at the information:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Kernel: 2.6.29-063c4d24
Build: 3.32.405.1 cl 191507
Software: 3.32.405.1
When I check with system-software updates the phone repiels with no updates available.
If i don't have the full 2.1 update how can I get it? Or, what can i do to install a custom 2.2 ROM with the actual firmware on the phone?
Thanks.

You do have it
Firmware: 2.1-update1

Yes, you do. it says 2.1, that's a big hint.

I thought 2.1 has a two stage update. Because it says 2.1-update1 i assumed that i only had the first stage.
Am i wrong?
Hans

no you're not wrong you just misunderstood.
two-part update..
part one - boot rom update FW remains at 1.5
part two - update to FW 2.1
update-1 is just the revision number/version.
hope it helps.

Thanks!
Hans

[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.

That's just lame....
I'm thinking that when the OTA for the Moment came out going from 1.5 to 2.1, there were a few later updates that added some features. ie v.CL14 to v.DI06 to v.DI18 to finally v.DJ07.
How an OS update wouldn't have an updated version of Sense, when we KNOW 2.1 works on these phones is baffling

Unless you're an idiot like me that knows 2 years is too long with one device, so I upped 40 bucks a month to stay Ponyboy gold....

Some Questions about Updating

Hi,
a few weeks ago I updated my stock german Xoom so the following:
Model Number: XZ601
Android Version: 3.0.1
Firmware: GAS_EMEA_USAEVRSTUTMDE_P007
Baseband Version: N_01.83.21P
Baseband Configuration Version: UCAEVEUB1B8EU02D.0R
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1
Build Number: H.6.1-38-5
I think this was not really software update but I did this to root the thing. Now, when I click System Upgrade, the device tells me it was up to date. Is this update functionality gone since I rooted the tablet or is Motorola still not providing Android 3.1 in EMEA?
Is there a working manual update to german 3.1 out by now? I think last time I checked there was none. Can someone bring me up to speed plz?
cheers
mathiase

My stock german xoom is not getting update either when i check for update. and its absolutely stock, i did not root it or do anything to it.
i guess 3.1 did not land in EMEA yet...at least not in Germany...

Hi,
okay that means it does not necessarily have to do with my rooted version. But the question remains: will I get the update through the usual channel with the rooted device?
Motorola is really straining me here ... What about manual updates? Is there something out for german devices by now?
cheers
mathiase

I hadn't heard of any updates going out to anyone other than japan/china/australia?

FYI Store Update...

Just an FYI the store update will install over the leaked version. I just got back from the store. Details are:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3
Kernel: 2.6.35.1-g96de068 [email protected] #1
Build number: 2.15.531.3 CL82286 release-keys
There was one other guy there getting the same thing done actually. This was at the South Tampa store on Henderson if anyone is wondering, if you are in the area. Makes me wonder since the stores update installed, if the "official update" leaked a few days ago really is, because it seems like I shouldn't have had a problem loading that over the leak, I guess I'll look at the details of that. They just install it from the SD card and I believe it was PC101MG.zip file from what I was seeing him do. If it installed as an update all my settings should have been intact I would think. Maybe it wasn't, I didn't pay too much attention though. Now if we can get a root for it! Maybe there is I'll take a look.
Well while I was waiting I messed with the G2x and thought it was kick ass. Might upgrade to that in January, if something better doesn't come out. I wasn't crazy about the more expensive Sensation,

Bro the ota is meant to just patch 1.22.

well I wanted the latest build and for some reason I couldn't get the downgrade to work for some stupid reason, and then get the update.
