Worked great and only took about 5 minutes to do on my stock 2.2 tmobile G2.

I actually went into a tmobile store and they whipped my phone and inserted their SD car...then said sorry we whipped your phone but these SD cards only work for the my-touch 4g...not the G2

After calling technical support it was confirmed there is no manual update for the G2...the only way to receive it is over the air (OTA)

Why on earth they have decided OTA is the only option is beyond me, but big thanks goes out to XDA for throwing the middle finger to t-mobile on this one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ExDis:
Used the steps in the OP and worked like a charm.

Only thing I've noticed is I have had about 5 spontaneous reboots, that I've noticed, since the update. I keep thinking I may have an application that's incompatible or something.

Anyone else experience anything like this?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] chimmycham:
Everything is working perfectly...

I have no idea why people are not doing this. It is the EXACT same thing as the OTA update, but you get it NOW.

[G2 and Desire Z General] jsquared8:
okay I am really confused with all this. I currently have stock 2.2 froyo with s-off and clockwork mod recovery flashed. I was wondering what steps I would have to follow to just get the update only. I don't need root/s-off/clockwork mod. I just want to get on stock recovery and bone-stock gingerbread 2.3.4. So if anyone could point me in the right direction to update with my conditions, I'd definitely appreciate it. thanks for helping a complete noob :P lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] user_nm:
Thanks so much! Works 100%

And if anyone's wondering: Updating using this method keeps all of your data, programs and all. So no need to backup, unless you just want to be extra cautious.

Thanks again!
[G2 and Desire Z General] adnans:
well. i ran into the status 7 error myself. i remember disabling a few bloatware apps before visionary even came out, via PM.

right off the bat, /system/app/amazonmp3.apk fails when i try to install the update. rebooted the phone, enabled the package, but PM said it killed it.

checked /system/app/ and amazonmp3.apk isn't found :( i now barely remember deleting some things from there.

not sure where to go from here :( not sure what other apk's i might be missing.

edit: link to a list of whats in my /system/app directory, just in case http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9501175/g2system-app.txt

Has anyone come across another way to get the official stock 2.3.4 onto a G2 running the leaked 2.3.3? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] kettlnaut:
Found this link to CWM straight to 2.3.4

I was reading this thread with much dread. Don't get me wrong, glad it's here cuz it probably saved a lot of peeps caught in limbo, but I found a way to skip all this. Sorry if someone already posted it, did not have a chance to read through all 7 pages of posts. But I already rooted, S-OFF and CWM custom recovery and all, but I had been having severe hardlock issues. I thought it was the Cyanogen that was causing it (I shoulda knowed better those guys are teh awesome) but after going back to the stock ROM (well stock that someone tweaked a little so I wouldn't lose my root and custom recovery) it still hard locked all the flipping time. Glad someone posted the reset combo (power + vol down + track button) but to the point, some fantastic Android geek posted a 2.3.4 stock t-mo ROM for the standard G2 (idk about the G2x I does not has) that can be flashed right from CWM. Awesomeness! Worked like a charm and no wipey my apps and settings. Loving it. Here ya go folks!

Hey...

I have a G2 with the latest stock Froyo, but I rooted, S-off and installed cwm.

Is there a way to install this 2.3.4 update ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] jcizzle:

thanks in advance

also.. just wondering.. is the keyboard supposedto change? mine still looks like froyo.. i know gingerbread is darker. ??
[G2 and Desire Z General] ecuajosh:
i had once flashed virtuous sensation rom, and i had to flash the hboot from the desire z, i have received the OTA automatically but it always gets stuck on the rom manager screen. would that be because it is not detecting it as t-mo phone? if i install it manually will that cause any type of conflicts?

thanks in advance

EDIT: it actually gives me a wrong image error.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ecuajosh:
Any clues on how to get this fixed?

Thanks in advance.

im just still wondering how to remove the clockworkmod, because i follow every instruction and it is not working.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ecuajosh:
i hope this is helpfull for any of you guys but when i downgraded my phone received a ota update i believe some sort of 2.3.4 automatically(gps didn't work) then i would root it after that downloaded another 2.3.4(my gps got fixed) automatically but everytime it rebooted or try to do it manually, clockworkmod was always on the way and when trying to install as update there was an error (seems like a version missmatch)

so here is what i did:

this was all done on root

data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.19.531.1

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 777 misc_version

./misc_version -s 1.19.531.1

sync

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 bs=1 skip=160 count=10

and i clicked on apply update from zip and it worked perfectly

[G2 and Desire Z General] cheetodude24:
I don't know if anyone else asked this question. I have the update.zip file onto the root of my sd card. When I go into bootloader, it asks me if I want to update. Should I update from bootloader or go into recorvery? I don't know if it will make a difference or not... please respond.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
Run the update from hboot. Its the same as flashing radios
[G2 and Desire Z General] rgilmore13:
I'm glad this thread is still around. Worked like a charm the first time around. Helped me to root my wife's phone. As with other people I got stuck a little bit with the buttons of the G2. It's the camera physical button on the lower right side you need to push to select choices in the CWM.

The G2 had GB 2.3.4, all other root guides I found I guess were meant for the Froyo build. Those root methods with Visionary didn't work. And I didn't feel like downgrading to root. With this method I was able to get a nandroid backup of the wife's phone as is, before putting an ICS rom on it. If she doesn't like it can easily go back to the way it was.

Sorry, posted in wrong thread. Got mixed up with all the windows open. Meant for this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1206930
[Motorola Droid X2] c21johnson:
First, please do not close this thread. It does not disclose of any private information. Anyhow, the update has already been leaked, so, I don't see the big deal.

As some of you may know, I have had to great opportunity of being in the Motorola DROIDX2 soak test for Gingerbread 2.3.3.

Anyways, I am making a large list of problems, and dislikes that are withheld in the update. With this list, I will provide possible solutions.

Why this is important:

Being a soak tester, I have the direct power of posting on the private forums. I also have a few other advantages I won't disclose of. But, I figured I would speak with the community who doesn't have the opportunities that I do. Hopefully this will bring more issues amd ideas/solutions into the light and Motorola developers can work to include them in the next update.

I will be updating this post with reasonable ideas as they are posted.

Please, please, please do not post, "I have not had problems with..."

I am trying to keep this forum clean. Issues and solutions only, please.

Thanks!

[Motorola Droid X2] Dark_Wizard:
Dislikes:

* Why 2.3.3 instead of 2.3.4 as the later fixes known issues with dual cores.

* Excessive Bloatware as it slows down the phone considerably.

* Notification Icons...hate the color and it makes it hard to see them. Maybe allow us to change them?

* Latest Blur for those that like it, not that I do.

* Unlocked Boot Loader!!!!

I will add more as I think of them.

Unlock the bootloader!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] colonel187:
Significantly more idle battery drain vs froyo
[Motorola Droid X2] Computer Dreams:
Battery drain and bloatware

Also let's unlock the bootloader for some real fub
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:

Bluetooth connectivity is sh*t for me as well, but was the same on the froyo version.
[Motorola Droid X2] Deleted member 4177996:
Some intermittent skipping/popping (about once or twice per half hour) while listening to music/podcasts.
[Motorola Droid X2] thewaytolite:
a few times a day my phone will at random hit a glitch somewhere and SOD then reboot
[Motorola Droid X2] nookie87:
my X2 is significantly smoother / faster now so I am enjoying the overall GB update, but I am experiencing the following issues once I moved to GB:

Significant idle battery drain vs froyo. I get max 12hrs off of full charge instead of 16-18hrs on standard battery with same usage.

Tends to re-draw the homepage when exiting apps, but not always. Seems to be at random.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Phone takes 2-3 seconds to turn the screen on after being off for a few minutes. Not a major problem but annoying.
[Motorola Droid X2] MrWilliams2:
Gingerbread seemed to dislike my car and desktop dock.
[Motorola Droid X2] Furioustylez:
Battery drain, but was able to unlock bootloader using the one for the ATRIX 4G. Moto A4 bootstrap.
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:

[Motorola Droid X2] colonel187:
I think you are mistaken about the bootstrap. Nobody has unlocked our phone yet.

So far nothing to hinder my enjoyment of the phone. I'd say increase the speakerphone volume.
[Motorola Droid X2] tokyo machine:
When coming out of "sleep mode", I've experienced several system force closes as the devise gets passed the lock screen, then the led stays on, and goes dim when the screen times out. Definitely not a huge bummer, I absolutely love this device over last week:)
[Motorola Droid X2] Furioustylez:
This is what I used, I was able to use the recovery to back up this rom. Backed Upped!!! couldn't take screen capture of actual recovery.
[Motorola Droid X2] prehistorical:
1. Relatively more battery drain than Froyo --

Within "Battery Usage", "Display" used to be the top % use. Now it seems "Phone Idle" and "Cell Standby" take a much bigger share.

2. Same Video problem as Froyo --

Video playback hesitates every so often (skip?); have not tried podcasts yet.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Yes, and yes. Had a random reboot today. Also on bluetooth, often people's voice change into robots. I mean that's going too far with the Droid thing.... come on... ;) But no really, I hate this problem!

Also getting 3G problems here similar to the Original Droid. 3G drops out, or gets stuck. Have to airplane mode on and off to get it to work again.

Also having pretty bad battery drain.

Don't like the bloatware of Blur.

Fix pixel problem via specially made OpenGL drivers?

MEMORY! MEMORY! MEMORY! MEMORY! Worst issue ever. Why the hell does my phone use 280MB of unreclaimable memory? I look at other phones that have 300+MB of free memory. Mine? It has 75-100 mb.

I wanted 2.3.4.

Where's the new lockscreen?!

And let's not even pay attention to furiousstylez, let's just focus on keeping the tread clean. I don't think he understands that there is a difference between the recovery hack and an unlocked bootloader. If our bootloader had been unlocked, we would be hearing from a reliable source, such as a developer.

[Motorola Droid X2] chrislewissd:
battery life is really bad and home screen redraw is bad
[Motorola Droid X2] kdaz:
Lol before you go getting all excited..that is not unlocking the bootloader...that is just recovery which everyone has known about and been using now for a while. Unlocking the bootloader is something completely different that hasn't been figured out yet. With an unlocked bootloader we can get custom kernels, allowing for overclocking and undervolting and the such. While recovery is a great first step..it is just that...the first step. So, sorry to be the barer or bad news but that is recovery not the bootloader.
[Motorola Droid X2] Pfilly:
I don't have a problem with just podcasts and music but other audio as well. My MLB at bat live feeds are popping and skipping and so are the live games.
[Motorola Droid X2] slacka-vt:
+1 Audio Playback issues. I posted a youtube video here describing it.

http://youtu.be/F6ojmzPuOJQ

Look at the 2:03 and 2:42 time marks. When listening to an MP3 and launching "Browser" there is a very noticable stutter; same thing when launching "Manage Applications". Audio is also glitchy when just driving in my car and not using the phone for anything else (maybe exchange "Push" is causing it?).

The Home Dock is also buggy. If I end up on the regular home screen, the home button does nothing and sometimes makes the screen get brighter or darker.
[Motorola Droid X2] Terri M:
Screen redraw is terrible when exiting some apps, and the transition speed between stern windows sucks big time! Before the update, I just needed a bare finger flick to transition from screen to screen, after update I literally have to keep my finger in the screen while changing screens!! Sucked so much that I went back to Froyo!!

Please fix this!!!

Overall bluetooth pisses me off the most.

The redraw is bothersome.

Even with my extended battery I am experiencing horrible battery life.

I miss being able to correct swype's word assumptions by double tapping the word.

Also I noticed an overall lack of response whenever I do something.

I would like the bloatware gone.

Response Issues

-Touch response isn't always accurate and sometimes have to touch twice to allow response

-MAJOR ISSUE: Not my problem, but multiple reports of the phone touch response not working at all after update. No fix.

-When plugged into AC charger, or USB, phone loses responsiveness and touch screen loses accuracy

Also when I plug into USB some of my icon's just vanish.

My Verizon doesn't work & Backup Assistant deletes contact's.

When using the multimedia dock, you used to be able to pull down the notification bar to jump back to the screen that appears in the docking station. That doesn't work anymore, it goes back to the screen outside of the dock. Also, after pushing the home button in the dock, that would bring you to the same screen. now it goes to the regular home screen.

I also miss the double tap to edit words. That was awesome.
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
After completing a call I use the back button (not home) to go back to my home. It takes sometimes 15 seconds to get the home screen to load, the phone is almost locked up during that time.

Overclock to 820mhz and this should melt the solder and make your arm 6 easy to remove ha ha.
