Here's what I did ...

Upgraded to the leaked 2.3.3 (2.13.531.8) in May.

Downgraded to 2.2 (1.19.531.1) using a combination of steps from these 2 links (MAJOR PITA BY THE WAY!):

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#If_your_main_version_is_higher_than_1.19.531.1

Automatic system update to 1.22.531.8 (still 2.2).

<Not sure what happened, but the upgrade from 1.19.531.1 to 1.22.531.8 zapped by micro-SD card and I had to re-format it.>

Copied update.zip to my micro-SD card and upgraded to 2.3.4 (2.15.531.3).

That is a known discrepancy. Once you install it, it will be 2.3.4 .

Are you being sarcastic or serious?
[G2 and Desire Z General] erasable:
I think I'll just wait until someone posts the update from the T-Mobile sd cards, because I suck at using adb.
[G2 and Desire Z General] RebelScum75:
Probably a bit of both. There are still lots who haven't received it over the air (myself included). But now that the download is available, anyone can get it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] spookievision:
After looking at those instructions, I think they might be incorrect for the G2. Look at this page for the downgrading information you are looking for:

Thankfully we have some rooted roms of this in the dev forum. Now we just need some dev's (the very few we have left :( :( :() to throw some customization's and optimization's into this and i am gonna be running it!
[G2 and Desire Z General] spookievision:
I don't think it needs any optimizations as it appears so far to be very fast and efficient but it does lack the customizations that those coming from a CyanogenMod release might expect as it is a virtually a default plain AOSP release.

Ok im on gingerbread 2.3.4 how to unlock sim now , can i use gfree ??? i never root this before install 2.3.4
[G2 and Desire Z General] spookievision:
You are welcome.
[G2 and Desire Z General] spookievision:
There isn't a permanent root method for the official Gingerbread ROM's while installed on the phones yet. You have to downgrade to 2.2 and then root. From there you can install one of the rooted Gingerbread ROM's based on this update.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kitila:
now there might be one prob still..once u update the hboot u might not be able to downgrade it when u try to downgrade yes u will be on 2.2 and and all that good stuff.so u might be able to root but no soff.....
[G2 and Desire Z General] spookievision:
The downgrade method works for this ROM. I have successfully temp rooted, dumped the system and boot partitions and was able to root the dumped images and repackage an installable rooted version of this updated ROM. But the only way to install the ROM was to downgrade to the previous version and then root that again.

Edit: With the downgrade I was able to install the engineering hboot which is necessary to manually change radios.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crashdamage:
Yeah, this update really runs nice. My only complaint is the memory handling is maybe a little too agressive now, shuts stuff down too often. Ahh, I miss true multitasking...

Was really nice that some default crapware like Photobucket I'd disabled with temproot didn't come back. Everything is exactly as it was - but better and better-looking.

Anyway, plain vanilla is all I want. The only thing I'd root this for is to overclock. Do you know of any efforts towards a custom kernel for that? Maybe even installable with just a temproot? I haven't found anything with searches.

[G2 and Desire Z General] obas:
Ok, so I followed all those steps and it rebooted the phone found the zip file but I was never asked to upgrade...am I ok to reboot the phone or should I got into recovery mode or factory reset??
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crashdamage:
It won't ask you to upgrade, you have to tell it to. See jorenko's post in this thread, about #420. It has a link to clear instructions he wrote up on simply applying the update to 2.2 which it seems is what you want to do. The instructions by spookievision only apply downgrading to 2.2 and installing a complete rooted ROM.

Success

My G2 was rooted using a quick/easy guide here on XDA, ran a few custom roms from CM, then flashed back to stock froyo. I unrooted using a guide from theunlockr and got rid of root, but it never went back to being S-on. Today I decided to run the update manually from the thread here and it actually worked. Just thought I'd put in my two cents.

How to flash 2.3.4 from scratch

So just got a used T-Mobile G2 from another person here in Canada, it came with 2.3.4 and he indicated that it showed up OTA a week or so ago.

He indicated he's been using the official roms and has never rooted the device.

However, being the anal person that I am, I always reflash the stock rom on any used phone I get before using it, just to be sure the phone is "clean", if they hacked the hardware side, well, not much I can do about that.

So after reading the entire thread from start to finish, I want to start from scratch and I think the best route would be to flash back to 2.2, then apply the 2.3.4 update.

is that about it

I'd downgrade as per

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

upgrade using this file

f4d11a64d2df.OTA_Vision_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.15.531.3-1.22.531.8_release_197463.zip

or if feeling keen, upgrade to the temprooted rom

[G2 and Desire Z General] SteveRiley:
So now we have a couple ROMs based on this, cool. I'm tempted to give it a try. Do you have any more information on the proprietary drivers you mentioned? What do we get from the OTA-based builds that are missing in, for example, Cyanogenmod or MIUI?
[G2 and Desire Z General] clintz:
Anyone else having issues with using the physical keyboard after the upgrade? I can't use it in any programs, it acts as if I am typing from the home screen and opens up all these other programs like the calendar and dialer..
[G2 and Desire Z General] jorenko:
No problems here. Sounds like your search button might be stuck: search+many of the other keys are app shortcuts by default. Check Settings/Applications/Quick Launch to see the bindings.

Thanks, my phone locked up today and I had to pull the battery, all was well after it booted... weird
[G2 and Desire Z General] jsquared8:
I currently have stock 2.2 froyo with s-off and clockwork mod. I was wondering if I will even receive the OTA and will it even update correctly? I don't mind losing root/s-off/clockwork. If I don't receive the OTA, how can I update to the official Gingerbread 2.3.4? I've seen the manual updates, but those all say that it doesn't work with clockwork mod installed. In the end I just want stock gingerbread and stock everything.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crashdamage:
You'll have to put the phone back to OEM condition to use the official 2.3.4 OTA whether appied manually or accepted OTA. Follow jorenko's guide 'T-Mobile G2 2.3.4 official OTA manual update' in the G2 General section. Very easy to apply the update manually or you can get it OTA ince the phone is in it's original state.

I hear you about running unmodified. With the upate it's running so fine the only significant thing I'm wishing for is overclocking.

G2 Gingerbread Update (2.3.4) Pulled

Just got off the phone with a T-Mobile Rep, and she said that the OTA was pulled due to major issues with the release.

Stores that have the SD Cards may also not be supplying the update due to the issue.

This is not the battery drain issue, however, I have noticed a couple of quarks with my G2 since I used the OTA Download posted here (NOT the 2.3.3, but the 2.3.4).

She said that T-Mobile will place more information on their site when HTC gets done tweaking it to work correctly, and after T-Mobile gets to test it.

I wanna thank the person who posted the link to download the OTA, as I do enjoy my 2.3.4 version of Android, but I would say if you can wait to upgrade... wait. Otherwise, you might end up like the 2.3.3 people.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scoop_dtx:
Lol my wife won't let me touch her g2...I know there has to be some cool stuff here. The Galaxy 4g has been blowing up...but I really want to mod her phone Too!
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
Curious, did she say what the issues were? Would be nice for devs to know so they can fix on any cooked roms based on this pending another release.

Nah, no one needs to wait. There are few confirmed ways to downgrade from the OTA if needed. Or flash a rooted version of this build from the dev forum instead of letting your device OTA and save the headache of trying to downgrade/root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lozzd:
Interesting, I've not had any problems at all. Infact, my phone is (completely anecdotally mind) at least 1.5x faster, and (proven) my battery life is much much better.

Certainly no reason why you shouldn't upgrade in the fears of being "stuck" or so... they *officially* rolled this out to many users, so they can't just leave those ones in the lurch and say "oops, our bad, no more updates ever for you because our release didn't work and we stopped rolling it out"
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
Apparently there are some problems with the install process. This is why stores are supposed to stop installing the update from the SD cards in store. I have not seen any issues once the update is applied but have seen a few phones that would not update or froze during the update. I haven't seen anything (as of Tuesday when I worked last) about the ota being stopped.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CaliGrown1220:
I received the ota update last night. Man, thought it was never going to come.
[G2 and Desire Z General] louballs:
My OTA failed, then i tried installing the manual update and it failed also. Getting this message: assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/amazon.mp3.apk"

I assume this is happening because I used titanium backup to completely delete the amazon app. I don't have a rooted phone, am on 2.2. What are my options???? Pretty annoying that getting rid of a few unwanted power suckers is limiting my update ability. Any help is appreciated as I searched and couldn't find the answer on my own.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
You will need to put any removed stock apk's back in the /system/app/ folder. The OTA checks and patches some of the apks to the current versions. If you no longer have them, extract the apks from the original 1.19 PC10IMG file "system.img" and push them to the phone.

[G2 and Desire Z General] louballs:
If I do a factory reset from the phone would that work?? I don't even remember what I deleted to even push back to it. Id really lpike this update.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
No, anything changed in the system partion would stay. Factory reset more or less just deletes the data and cache partitions. Just going to have to compare the PC10IMG /system/app/ directory to what you have the the phone and copy the right files back onto your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] louballs:
Thanks, appreciate the help! Last question, am I going to need the SDK to do this?

Lou
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
I attached a copy of the updater-script so you can see what the OTA looks for. That can help you determine what you are missing. There are several ways to copy files to the system folder and set permissions. Get the SDK if you want to use ADB. If you want to do everything from the phone you use Root Explorer from the market or a terminal emulator and busybox commands. Stick with what works for you.

If that seems like a hassle there are several rooted versions of this build in the dev forum that you can try.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MobLAug:
I'm a brazilian owner of G2, no rooted with stock 2.2. I didn't receive the OTA update yet. Have the OTA a IP block? There are a way to force the OTA update? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
Instructions and download link for the file are in this thread.

No IP addresses are blocked that I am aware of. The Missus has not received the OTA on her completely stock G2 either and it was one of the earlier devices. OTA literally goes when it goes.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
No you can't get it on a custom ROM. And the bigger question is, if you are flashing roms, why would you want it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
LOLOL. Well just hope your one of the first people to get the ota I guess :) cause more than likely it will be posted on the forums before you get it, so u might just be better going back to CM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
I don't think the OTA even started yet. There is not a lick of evidence that even one person has gotten it on the entire internet. I searched twitter and facebook also. I found one person claiming they did in a comment on an article but they sounded like they didn't even know what there talking about.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zkid2010:
I agree. I think the soonest we'll see it is if the other poster who sounds like a T-Mobile employee posts up the sdcard update the T-Mobile stores are supposed to start providing in-store updates with around the 1st (or 5th? can't remember).

[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
No lol. I'm not excited for the rom itself really period. What i AM excited about it some new aosp roms for our phones based on this rom which includes the actual propriety drivers. I am in no way complaining(ok maybe i am), but i am really sick of all the new sense roms for our phones. And i'm not interested in the aosp roms we have now cause they are all based on CM, therefore i just run CM instead of a themed up knock-off. Once we get this leak, we can get TRUE NEW 2.3 aosp roms for our phones. This release is gonna breath lots of new life into us aosp lovers on this forum!

[G2 and Desire Z General] kingston73:
As of tonight I've read at least 3 people over on the tmobile forums who got the update, so it's definitely being pushed out. As for the people on here saying they don't want to wait weeks, if you read the Tmo announcement it says if you don't have the update by Aug 5 you can go ask for it in the store, so really nobody will have to wait beyond next friday.
