I am confused, what do i need to do to install this offical update..

pls help!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
take it easy... some rom wil be there in some hours/days with this update
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
almost ready to make a nandroid for you to play with
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gader:
In RUU there is SPL: hboot_7200A_1.76.0010_100114.nb0
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
Yup, but you can just flash the system, data, radio and boot images from fastboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pburke57:
If I apply the RUU will I still be able to root ? Maybe I should stick with CM
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
rooted version is up in new thread
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
Holy crap, you're fast :)) Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
The radio version is 6.35.16.19!

Flashed over 6.35.10.18 and I can still boot into fastboot :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] g00gler:
Hey eyegor, are you using that new radio with CM6? Because I just switched from the stock 1.5 rom to CM6 and have noticed that my wi-fi reception isn't as good with the 3.22.... radio and my battery life isn't so good anymore either, but that could be an issue with something else.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
i used CM6 only with the old radio, I think it runs better on the old one :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liderzre:
When i flash this ROM i'l get new radio also?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bladyle:
Great news :)

Can we hope that HTC will release NR source now?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
In two weeks...more or less probably :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
you mean like they have for the last update to the new radio? FU HTC
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stillriza:
So I originally was running Cyanogen RC3 and used the Rogers 911 RUU to go back to stock.. then installed this new rom via OTA and wow.. this is byfar the fastest rom I've ever had on my magic. Very impressed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bladyle:
I hope this time they release it..

And kernel source too, so there no more OR..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zghansar:
i am running CM^ on rogers Magic with 1.76.2007 SPL and 3.22 radio.

How do I install the new rogers 2.1 update. I want to go back to Sense UI with the official release
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liderzre:
Everything works great, and now when i try to start browser, I've got this :

(Error) WIFI Detected We are unable to authenticate you as you are not currently on the Rogers or Fido Mobile Networks. Please disable your WiFi connection and launch your browser to try again. Click here for Yahoo! oneSearch

I use stock Rom, rooted from yesterday release.

Edit: NVM Can't open default Rogers home page.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
Erm... No, you're not. Your phone wouldn't boot if you had that combination.

Use eyegor's Radio Switcher to flash the new radio (if it fails, flash old and then flash new), then use fastboot to flash the extracted system, data and boot images from the first post. Please backup your apps and data first, you WILL lose everything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Martineq:
Eh , 3 things i hate with official 2.1

First

Its definetelly not faster than official 1.5 , actually its much slower, at least for me.

Second.

The phone gets warm all the time. Did they change processor clocks or sth:confused:

Third

Music player now is not much responsive.

Anybody else has this problems?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stillriza:
Like I said, Download the official 911 RUU off the HTC/Rogers sites.. flash that..then when the phones reboots it will tell you there is an OTA update available. Simple and takes roughly 20-30mins in total time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruk_design:
is it possible to run this on 32B
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
Nope, not a chance. The new radio won't run on 32B and trying to install it would probably brick your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] heksesang:
Is it possible to flash only parts of this ruu onto the official 1.5 w/Sense rom for HTC-branded phones?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
You could try, but I wouldn't reccommend it. Back your apps up using TitaniumBackup or something similar and do a full wipe, from fastboot, then flash system, userdata and boot (optionally the radio).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] heksesang:
I installed an official 3.05.401.1 rom before patching, so not sure if it kept any of the settings or anything when I flashed the img files. But at least it runs an official 2.1 version now, though only English and French language. =\
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
If you need multilanguage, use capychimp's mod (RCMagic)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gtklocker:
Unfortunately, when flashing this I get 130 error, on my HTC Magic (from Greece)! Any idea?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gader:
Root and flash custom rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gtklocker:
That's a bit hussle actually. The new radio is somehow making my phone's screen black when gets flashed. Then, if it finally gets flashed, you face the same black screen when you want to face another radio and the only solution is to install an RUU, which will do the same, but finally install.

And what custom ROM do you mean?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
Use a goldcard or flash this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=778083

Also, why the heck do you think I even bothered uploading the extracted files, if not for avoiding to run the RUU on an incompatible phone and getting stuck somehow?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gtklocker:
I tried to flash this but still no luck. The phone got BSOD (Black Screen of Death).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Francois.s:
Hi, I already installed the Android 2.1 RUU from Rogers and now I cannot install a custom recovery. Can you help me out please.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
Not sure, but you could try universal androot and flashrec.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] therevengeofgdr:
same probl..

does somebody have an idea??

thanks! ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] netcaf:
hello,

my phone has CM6.0 now. Would you please tell me how to flash Rogers 2.1?

[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Is anybody's working to satisfactory? Or am I the only one?

I never really used GPS till I got this device and only from the complaining here had it really got me interested . Although I use GPS maybe 3 times a year, I've made it a point to use it every drive I take to see if its still working.

I always get a lock within 5 seconds to at most a min. Stationary or moving don't matter. I've never had my phone say location not available.

My phone always sees 11 or more and only locks on to 3 or 4 once it locked 7...

When I hit navigate to then a destination it instantly finds me and routes me. While driving it every now and again has a blue circle but that's usually during lots of overpasses turns on freeways and etc. For the most part it has no circle ...

I will admit every now and again it'll lose route and not reroute so I back out and hit navigate again and back to navigating.

Its even found me in portland Oregon in the city.

So my question is, although GPS could be better I.e. faster lock, more birds to lock on and tracking while moving, it still has served its purpose and found me my way a few times when I'm lost.

On the way home I will use it again and it will find me almost instantly and navigate me all the way home...

Am I lucky? Or do others work good enough to get around, yes could be better, but is yours good enough like mine to where even if they don't fix it, its not that big of a deal cause for the most part for me it works?

Another thing is I'm beggining to think its hardware and software. Reason is messing with the settings does improve or have different results, but on the other hand the gps fixes seem to give everyone different results and why would Samsung release them all with poor GPS just to supposedly fix it in a few weeks/ wouldn't it have been easier to fix then ship em out?

Who knows, no one is for sure, but I just want to know who's is atleast satisfactory like mine? Maybe I just don't have high GPS standards cause I don't use it to get 1 meter off. If I'm atleast 50 meters away I think my eyes and brain can help me find the other 50 meters.

So are you satisfied even though it needs improvements? I am. I don't think it needs fixed, but as Samsung says "optimized".

Please no there are many GPS threads comments this is a little different ...

Is your GPS useless, or does it get the job done, not how you wish, but gets it done?

Edit: this is no gps fixes. Pure stock.
[Vibrant General] Saiboogu:
Mine isn't as terrible as some people say on here, but there are definitely problems. Latitude, for instance, often falls back to network location even with a clear view of the sky. Driving, it will randomly drift far enough that the GPS goes to rerouting mode, trying to bring me back on course. And there are times that it just refuses to get a lock for 10-15 minutes, though luckily that doesn't happen too often. Definitely worst GPS performance than my G1.

But, all that being said.. Not so bad that I'm really stressing about it. I'll give Samsung/TMO a few more weeks for an update and hopefully they patch up the issues with Froyo. If not, or if the update gets delayed, I'll start tinkering with the fixes from the forums.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
mine works fine too. quick to lock, navigation works perfectly. i was locking on 3-4 satellites last time i tried.

it's not very good indoors, and often has trouble determining location, but outdoors it has been completely satisfactory.

this is all with gps on, and use wireless networks off, btw. completely stock, and the compass works fine too.

[Vibrant General] speoples20:
I'm the same, I don't use GPS that much, but when I do it works fairly well. Its not the best I've used but it gets the job done. Only once when I was driving on the freeway could it not lock on.

I remember reading that a GPS fix leaked for the Captivate and it seemed to fix the issue. And the new SGS phones coming out for Verizon and Sprint seem to have better luck with GPS.
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
For me too GPS locks 95% times. However Navigation is the only application that crashes my phone once in a while....and I dont like that:mad:
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
Mine seems OK, with the light use I've given it. Haven't tested it out with route-tracing software like some have -- but for just getting an accurate lock, it seems on par with other phones I've used. (Maybe a little slower to lock.)
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
I had tested my GF's Samsung Moment alongside my Vibrant many times and the Moment hooks to GPS quickly and consistently. I cannot think how Samsung could implement an inferior GPS in their flagship phone!
[Vibrant General] newblue1234:
My gps works flawlessly, when I read all these threads its hard to remaster because everyone I use gps it takes a matter of seconds to lock in and route me to my destination. Even in my area of living which is outside of the city it is very vet close to where I actually am and even right on. I would be frustrated if it didn't work as I do use my gps every so often but it is precise in my experience and I'm very happy with the final product.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I now have two GPS's in two of our cars. The primary reason for buying a GPS a while back was so I could meet up with guys that I often 4wheel with in various locations. I would get lost when somebody told me to meet them in a city that I didn't know very well. My wife saw how handy my GPS was and took it. I finally got a G1 and it was used as a backup in case the wife wouldn't let me use "My GPS".

Anyways fast forward a year or so. We bought a second GPS for her car. Why because she got the new one of course. :confused:

Now that I have 2 GPS's in my cars my phone has been well a secondary or I should say hardly ever used. However when I'm on foot and I get backwards its always been nice to know I could fire up my GPS and find my way somewhere. Lord knows I've been lost a few times in down town Seattle. Wandering around and firing up maps and then using the by foot option has saved me many times. Sure it didn't have to be accurate since all I needed to know was do I walk 3 blocks north then 1 to the west or is it 3 blocks to the west then 1 block to the north?

The Vibrant GPS works when I need it, but honestly I really wish it was a bit more like the G1. Its nearly useless when I use CardioTrainer and a few more apps.
[Vibrant General] tenbeau:
I have had my Vibrant for about 45 days and the GPS has been awful since day one. I have tried some of the fixes which did help a little bit but I still have problems. The GPS cuts on and off so much that Cardio Trainer is pretty much useless most of the time. It has started to freeze on me while attempting to use Cardio Trainer today, which necessitated pulling the battery. The GPS normally shows me about 2 of 3 miles from where I actually am. The compass is just about totally useless. This is a wonderful phone and would be a fantastic phone if the compass and GPS just worked normally. I am starting to be concerned with the phone starting to freeze up as it has not done that in the past.
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Mine worked great for a few weeks. Even though it wouldn't lock more than 3 or 4 satellites the performance was completely satisfactory. Then it got a little quirky with accuracy and my position started jumping around a lot. Then it started positioning me miles from where I actually was sometimes, causing Maps to lock up, causing the entire phone to lock up, and generally being unreliable.

Over the past week or so I've had to reboot the phone half the time I try to use the GPS in order to get it to work. I can usually get it to work at a satisfactory level eventually, but it's far from painless. I haven't tried any of the "fixes"...my GPS settings are stock.
[Vibrant General] mjpacheco:
On my first phone the GPS and phone in general was a disaster.

Once returned, my second phone is "ok" for driving assistance use, it takes awhile for a lock but it works. But I otherwise leave GPS turned off or else my phone will randomly shut down/reboot.

With trepidation I applied a no lag fix and it has turned my opinion of the phone from "meh" to wow (even though I was not even sure I had a lag problem, but little did I know).

So if GPS gets fixed and 2.2 deployed, and assuming 2.2 solves lag or a no-lag fix is implemented for 2.2, then I will be very happy. But it sure seems like a bit of grief to get to that point. Anything goes wrong down that path, and I'll focus on HTC or other devices... cause for similar past issues with hardware I never buy HP :)
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Add a compass fix to that list and I'm there with ya.
[Vibrant General] dalephil22:
After applying the gps fix I haven't had a problem since. I use the gps daily and have only had 1 restart. Had my vibrant since day 1. Maybe I just got lucky.
[Vibrant General] Stresa:
I completely understand the need to get the GPS fixed, but I have to honestly ask...why do so many people seem so worried about the compass?

Are there that many of you out there that wander around using the compass all the time ? Is it because of apps like Layar ?

Using a smartphone as a compass/gps on a hike is useless if you plan to be out more than a few hours so that can't be it.

Is it just the principle of the thing ... that they provide the feature so it should work properly out of the box?

I'm not trying to be a wise ass here...I'm honestly curious.

Sent from Samsung Vibrant
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
In a word: yes.

While I don't use Layar much, it would be great if it worked. I've tried to use Google Skymaps several times and gave up due to the compass completely freaking out when I hold the phone up to, you know, look at the sky. It's nice the have a working compass for Google Maps...even if it's just for street view. Yelp taunts me with directional functionality that doesn't work, and I could go on. In general I'd like to know that apps that use the magnetometer to detect orientation (and who knows what will come along that will use that functionality) will work. I don't think that's too much to ask.

Now, I also do a lot of city navigation on foot, and having a compass to figure out which way to walk when I come up from a subway on my way to a meeting is a huge help. Seriously. At that point I don't have a GPS because I've been underground.

I've used Android devices (like the G1) that are old-ish, and I've used Android devices that are not considered high-end devices with working compasses, so yeah, on principle I expect my high-end $500 device to work at least as well as they do. Had I known about the worthless compass before I purchased the phone it would have given me pause...I probably would have at least considered another device. It bugs me that such a simple piece of functionality being broken will prevent me from using apps and features that I'd otherwise find useful on my expensive device.

Now I have a Swiss Army knife with a broken saw blade. Yeah, it's just the saw blade, but I paid for one with a working saw blade, dammit, and it wasn't cheap. :)
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
that sucks dude. i just noticed what you were saying about google sky map, mine was tripping out for a little while but then it finally settled down. can't really tell if it's pointing in the accurate direction because it's daylight

my compass has worked just fine on maps though. it always points me in the right direction, and even the compass on the "gps status" app is correct, birds locked on or not
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
If I hold the phone "just right" I can usually get the compass to work ok in things like Maps where accuracy isn't terribly important. It's still painfully slow compared to other Android devices I've used, though. Most I've seen have nearly instantaneous compass updates when you turn...on my Vibrant (both of them) I have to wait a while for it to settle down before I can tell how it's reading. When I hold it in an odd position...like you do for Skymaps...it's all over the place. Sometimes it works, but it's hard to tell unless you're manually keeping track of which way is North, which kinda defeats the purpose, eh?
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
true

hopefully samsung releases a fix baked into some froyo here soon. they had better do SOMETHING this month anyway
[Vibrant General] MV10:
Examples are easy to come by.

I like to sit on the back porch in the evening, have a few beers and a cigar, and play with Google Sky, for example.
[Vibrant General] Saiboogu:
Had a few evenings like that. In general though, really -- the compass is one of the many tools included in my smartphone. I've used it before (on my G1, obviously) as just that - a compass. Either checking sun exposure, orienting myself to a printed map, or just trying to get my bearings relative to something else, without going to the trouble of loading up a map. So, it's sorta annoying that a tool I've grown accustomed to (and paid lots of money for) isn't working properly.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
It works great on the JI2 rom
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKeymaker:
Hi,

so I've just picked up my Galaxy S Vibrant, imported from the US. Since I am a Norwegian I would very much like to flash to the European firmware with Norwegian language support. However, samfirmware.com site says that one "should ask in the forums" if ones phone is from the US.

So, is it safe for me to follow the regular guides and flash the phone to EU fw? Also, not sure if it's related, when I try to check my fw version (*#1234#) I get the message "Unable to process request"?

Thanks in advance.
