[G2 and Desire Z General] theonedd:
Thanks

Thanks for the info flaming. So what I will have to do is revert back to the stock recovery in order to ensure I get the OTA as soon as it is delivered to me. I really do not mind losing root on my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] flamingblue8z:
Then you are pretty much set, flash the stock recovery. But I'm not sure if it won't fail when it goes to flash the system, because the su/Superuser.apk are in the system partition. It's been at least 2 years since I had a stock Android install that was rooted and tried to install an OTA over it. That experience was putting 1.6 over 1.5 on a myTouch 3G, but at the time I had a kernel with only one modification, Netfilter and IPTables enabled for tethering.
[G2 and Desire Z General] theonedd:
Thanks again

Thanks again flaming. Is there any way to revert back to stock recovery without have to wipe my phone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] blanthony:
If we have installed the leaked 2.3.3 should the upgrade the stores will have flash over it? I have noticed it is a slightly different build number. Also if I installed the leaked version should I maybe get the OTA update? Do I get any OTA updates?
[G2 and Desire Z General] awake00:
I'm pretty new around here but I believe the answer is yes. Others have asked the same question in this thread.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Ok shouldn't the update be somewhere on his phone? Why don't we just try to get it off of there and up on the forum for people?
[G2 and Desire Z General] awake00:
That's what I was thinking. But I just assumed if it was possible someone would have mentioned it already.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Pretty sure it is possible. Its on the cache partition or at least was. Lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hogg2500:
Why can't T-Mobile just give us the link to this? I realize that they are doing it in small numbers incase of major bugs but I am willing to take that chance. I hate this waiting game lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Ya its kinda stupid. They could provide a link with an image that is "watermarked" so to say that comes with a disclaimer that if you want to install manually on your own you void the warranty. And since the image is marked they would know if you bricked it doing it that way or not. Cause 99% of xda would just use the link cause we already know there is very little risk while the disclaimer scaring away grandma and making her just wait for the OTA. This is about the ONLY thing apple has up on android. There updating mechanism blows android out of the water by a long shot. Everyone gets the update at the same time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] awake00:
Very valid points.

I'm sure the carriers realize they can't blame anyone cause Android is free*. Apparently its not worth the risk.
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
I would love to see the carriers and manufacturers put out a download link as soon as updates are available. That way tech savy users can manually update while average consumers wait to get the ota.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
Yes, it will be in the /cache folder waiting for you to install. We can also determine the download link from the file name so if you have it downloaded but not installed yet and missed the link in logcat, please still post the filename.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jouva:
I'm pretty sure the reason they don't roll it out all at once or post URLs is because then the mobile data would crawl to a HALT any time ANY popular phone got an update. Remember that unlike physical line (cable, dsl, fiber, etc) internet, mobile internet has limits to number of customers it can support at one time with so only many frequencies available in their range. Thus thousands of people downloading a HUGE file all at once is going to take up a lot of this and mess things up.

That being said, I know we're all going to try and find and use that URL to update ourselves. Just understand why THEY don't post it. Plus people that don't know might try to do it that way because they see it and fail and yell at T-Mo like it's their fault.

Factory Resetting Phone To Get OTA?

On the tmonews site, there are two people who said that they did a factory reset and soon after they got the OTA. What does the experts think about that?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tun4f1sh:
No facts to back it up, so I wouldn't believe it :)

Desire Z UK OTA update file

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster...

I've been waiting for the DZ (G2) gingerbread update for an age, and thinking about CM7, although I want a way to go back if I don't like CM7 (suspect losing the free offline satnav app "locations" might be the thing to make me go back).

Anyway, my auto update was off. I saw this thread, installed alogcat last night, and today manually checked for an update. It's arrived (note to HTC, 1st August is *not* end of July).

Anyway, I got the URL from the logs:

fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2-1.72.405.2_R_release_20575615kkifj6ldy8hcz6.zip

Sorry I can't post that as an outside link, new user restrictions :-(

(Also had to remove the h-t-t-p prefix too!)

I tested it with Chrome on my desktop, and I was able to download it.

Please note, this is the OTA URL from a UK HTC Desire Z, a full spec HTC phone with Sense, not a G2. Do NOT use it on your G2 unless you know what you are doing, I do not know what will happen!

Hope this is of help/interest.
[G2 and Desire Z General] awake00:
Awesome! This is what everyone was waiting for. I'm going to wait and see how it goes for a couple other people first. GF will kill me if I brick her phone. Pretty much the reason its not rooted yet.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that appreciates this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jorenko:
No it's not; it's the same thing, but for the european sense-ified version of the phone, not the google experience tmobile G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] awake00:
Will it work on the tomobus g2?

Do I have options? If I want sense install this one... If not install the other?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
No, if you have the G2, don't install that.

If you want gingerbread sense there are several options in the dev forum. If you are not in the possession of a Tmobile G2, the ota on your phone is not the one we want.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tankslappa:
Surely you mean the full HTC spec phone, not the gelded G2? :p

If you wanted gingerbread and not sense, surely you would have installed CM7 weeks ago?

Anyway, sorry it's not the one you want, I've stuck a big red warning on it for G2 users.

I have absolutely no idea! I'm just a UK Desire Z owner. This is my first Android phone, and although I have rooted Nokia phones in the past and pot on 3rd party firmware, I have yet to do it to an Android.

I'm holding back on updating until someone can confirm that it is still rootable. I don't want to paint myself into a corner :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] jorenko:
I'm actually a never-rooted stock G2 user. I was thinking about CM7 in june but then they announced 2.3 for july and I decided to wait.

As for your update, you should ask elsewhere as this thread is only about the g2 and other EU dz owners are likely to be not paying attention
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
So STILL no one has got the OTA. WOW.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jorenko:
I'm starting to think it's really starting on 8/5 along with in-store updates, and saying 7/27 was just a CYA due to the earlier posting saying it would happen in July.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tankslappa:
Actually I've rather got used to looking in groups called G2/Vision for things. For a while I wondered where all the Desire Z talk was!

Oh well, sorry that's not what you were after, but it is pretty easy to get the URL.

Just turn off the auto update.

I did this last night, and installed alogcat. This morning I went into update and told it to check, it said "New update blah blah blah", I said cancel.

Fired up alogcat, told it to log to SD, went back into update, selected check for update again. "New update available blah blah", then went back into alogcat and stopped it.

Then went for a dig through the log file.

I/htcCheckinService( 1294): == Checkin triggered == A2.2(Froyo)
D/htcCheckinService( 1294): Error when get WiMAX status. Err:null

I really should packet sniff the comms to h**p://andchin.htc.com/android/checkin. I tried it just as a straight URL, but it won't talk to me, obviously some other fields to send.

Hopefully one of you G2 users will have auto update turned off and be able to do this to grab the OTA URL when HTC decide to let you have the update.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jorenko:
It WOULD be that easy, except google isn't sending back "Intent from server: Intent { act=android.server.checkin.FOTA_UPDATE .... }" when I checkin. They send back FOTA_CANCEL instead. Like others have said, they're withholding it and releasing in waves based on IMEI number.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tankslappa:
Awkward sods. Oh well, look on the bright side, if they've made a Gingerbread+Sense, they must have a Gingerbread without sense...

Look on the bright side #2, you're not a Desire owner, have you seen the trail of pain with that update?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
I don't think there sending it out in waves, there just not sending it to anyone. Like another said, we got to wait till 8/5.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jorenko:
That was me actually :p Just idle speculation, really, though I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. In any case, they do EVERY update in waves; that's why people watch for the URL to send to others early.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lozzd:
I guess you missed the massive screenshot of someone downloading it a few pages ago then?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xKERNALx:
So a handful of people got it, yet thousands have not. its very frustrating. I got my g2 the first weekend it was out, so its not first come first serve either, tbh tmobile did the same thing about the g1 and 3g. They told us Christmas of 08 when it actually happened christmas of 09
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tcrumzz:
Ive had my G2 update pop up for about 4 days now. I want to do it so badly but I don't think its worth losing my s-off and root..
[G2 and Desire Z General] jorenko:
Many of us would be eternally grateful if you could logcat and try to re-download it to get us the URL, and/or try to export the file from your cache partition. Pretty please?
[G2 and Desire Z General] HTC HD2 MAN:
what a great idea :P
[G2 and Desire Z General] jorenko:
What is "the usb install"?
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
I think part of the reason the ota roll out is going soooooo slow is because T-mobile is doing ota's for the G2, G2x, and mytouch 4g right now and that is slowing them all down.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jouva:
Another reason is that I believe that I think they do some of the updates in stages. Only a small portion of people get it at first then a much larger portion gets it later.
[G2 and Desire Z General] roadrunnerx7:
im thinking about trying out the factory reset method, seems to be working for some to get the OTA. but is there anyway to back up my app data/settings? without the need of root
[G2 and Desire Z General] erasable:
I tried doing the factory reset, didn't work for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jeffakajeff:
nevermind....
[G2 and Desire Z General] jorenko:
I appreciate the effort, but it's the UK Vision update again:

[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
I guess you missed that it failed and wouldn't install? Then straight up disappeared? Sorry not trying to sound rude but no one has SUCCESSFULLY got it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] elpresspl:
A trusted TMobile rep told me that the G2 update was pulled from being release because of some glitches...

Anyone can confirm?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stargazer418:
It failed because the phone was was rooted, S-Off, with a custom recovery. It most likely would have succeeded if it was unrooted with the stock recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hogg2500:
Seriously? All this time they have had to work on this and they may have pulled it? No more branded phones for me just strictly Nexus Phones. It drives me nuts that I have to hack this phone just to get the most current android. I realize I got myself into this mess but I have learned my lesson. Next phone will be a Nexus Phone. I do have a Nexus One but that is the backup incase my G2 dies.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hakoreh:
I'm not sure if this is the right thread so bare with me.

The MIUI ROM has a lockscreen I really want similiar to the Sense 3.0 lockscreen. Is there any way to port just the lockscreen and install it on a rooted Incredible 2 with GB?

Or is there a reliable app that does the same or close to it? Paid or free is fine as long as it's working. I tried Agile Lock.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
Q and A goes in the general forum. (For future) And if you are ROOTED and have RMK ginger sense on your phone there is a flashable zip that will put it on your phone. It even more in depth than the MIUI one.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
Its a port from sense 3.0. Under customize you can change the lockscreen between things like wallpaper or weather, ect.

Heres the link.

thank you but I believe I mentioned I tried Agile Lock. If not, sorry but what I didn't like about it is more than a few times I would unlock the screen and then the next screen would be the HTC Sense lock screen. So basically I'd have to unlock twice.

[Nexus S General] zeeklancer:
Hello everybody.

I had the T-mobile Nexus S for about a year and loved it. I recently switched to the Nexus S 4G on Sprint (and still love it). But I have found that applications that I bought on the Nexus S will not install on the Nexus S 4G. I have contacted the developer and Android Support.

The developer said they were not filtering any devices. Androids App Store support said that the Nexus S 4G was blocked from installing the application due to a difference in screen density. Which I find odd, as I thought the Nexus S 4G and Nexus S were just about the same phone except one has a 4G and CDMA radio in it.

Anybody have a clue why a app would work on the NS but not on the NS4G? The application I am talking about is Ledgerist if anybody wants to give it a try.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
both are the same res and density, they are lying to you mate
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
They are the same screen - what do you mean by not work? As in the market will not let you install the app or it literally "does not work" for some reason.
[Nexus S General] zeeklancer:
On the phone I can't even view it in the market. On the website I can view it but when I click to install it won't let me select the Nexus S 4G because it is not compatible.

Google says not their fault, App Dev says its not their fault. :/
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
if you paid for it ask them to send you the apk and side load it.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Can you say what applications you are having trouble with?
[Nexus S General] zeeklancer:
Yep its Ledgerist .

I just checked on my friends nexus s and he can get it. I can't even see it with a ns 4g..

This may be silly but could it be because of the update for sprint user?
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
If you are on 2.3.5 and it is a protected app then yes. Wait a few days for the market to be updated for the new build fingerprint and it will show back up.
