Hey Smart folks

Can Anyone post an official how to ? Like from start to finish ? what the screens should look like and stuff. this is madness. I have a stock magic up to date with the current updates and when I follow what you guys are saying it always fails on installing the first part of the two updates. If I read correctly the actual update will not install unless you install you the newer hboot. Anyone else having issues ?

Thanks

OK, I figured it out. No matter how many times I run the first update: to change the HBOOT to 1.33.0013 my phone stays on HBOOT 1.33.0006. Any ideas on why my phone will not change the HBOOT to 1.33.0013?

Problems trying to Manually update to 2.2

Okay so I have a rooted version of 1.6 running on my Mytouch. I've been waiting to update to 2.2 and I went ahead and got the three files that were posted earlier, one that starts with "894fb86..." "e3671133717..." and "e059adc..." I believe the first file that needed to be flashed was the one that started with "894" so I put that on the root of my sd card, renamed it "update.zip" booted into recovery. Wiped the phone, and then flashed the update and I got an error reading something to the extent of "verification signatures missing" and the installation was aborted. anyone have any idea what I should do?

thanks.

I asked in the thread and was told Universal Androot DOES NOT work for MT3G w/Froyo. When I get my update I'll try it.

Super one click root has been referenced as working. I still haven't seen people comparing performance to CM6 that are actually running the OTA.

I ran the TMUS rom (CM6 kernel) but not the actual ota update just yet. TMUS is WAY quicker than CM, but not as quick as my oem androoted donut.

Indeed.

Off topic, but i see that you are running Legend2G1, how is it? Is it stable enough for daily use? I don't trust Sense ROMs on anything other than Sense phones, but i just cant stay away from it! DroidEris2G1 ate my battery like flies to ****, how is L2G1's battery?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crypysmoker:
Ok people who dont research or read anything other then one article....

ALL Mytouch type devices are getting the update. Its been said for months, and at no point does this new article say ONLY 32b devices because most normal users dont know the difference between 32a and 32b.

Even the leaked article from august shows the 1.2 and slide are also getting the update. After reading the article earlier I went to my Tmobile store and was also told ALL Mytouch labeled devices will be getting the update.

So calm down people. also TMOBILE only, so stop asking about vodaphone and the likes.

Just so frustrating that people can be here and root their phones, but cant even be bothered to read something not posted on 1 website.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lambn001:
looks like it might be just mytouch 1.0 not 3.5mm

heres the link to tmonews site
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crypysmoker:
Aw poppycock. Thats what i get for trusting what the loley android guy at Tmobile says. How can the lesser of the 2 get the update first, yet the newer, with more useable ram, get it "at a later date"...

i just got my phone back to 1.5. any way to get to the stock Tmo 1.6? cyanogen used to have the method on his wiki but its no longer there
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Vonrottes:
One word.

The 32b will not see SlideUI just the "extras" from the Slide.

The Slide and 1.2 will be updated later since they are working slideUI on Froyo...

Thats my guess anyways

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tass0s:
yeah but they said "no phone left behind" so they're gonna update the 1.2 which is 32A right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
If that was truth, they would be issuing the update for DREAM as well. Apparently not, even though the differences between it and magic 32b are TRIVIAL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fitchman:
Needing to update the Dream's SPL is really not trivial. It's a shame they hadn't thought of it ahead of time. But I have hope that the community will find a way to port this 2.2 update to the G1 for people who've updated their SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
Who says it needs an SPL update? In fact, it does NOT.

Even if it DID, yes, it IS trivial to update the SPL.... even withOUT LOSING ANY DATA!

All you would need to do is remap the system/cache boundary up further, reformat, and install. Leave the userdata partition alone so that a wipe won't be required.

In fact, this is exactly how you would do it;

You have your system and cache mapped out like this (where A, B, and C are memory addresses);

System: A-->B

Cache: B+1-->C

(inclusive)

Remember that these are just bytes.... which means that you can ignore the location of B and treat this as a single binary block A-->C -- the boundary is somewhere in between. You take the UPDATED A-->C binary image and divide it mechanically at a point matching the original partition boundaries and call the first "system" and the second "cache", and write these images to the system and cache partitions existing on the phone.

Once these two binary images are written, you update the SPL with one containing the new mapping, which has the boundary somewhere in the middle of what was previously the "cache" partition.

Done.

Easy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cesarbric:
Thanks for the info, just reverse my wife MT3G to it's original, waiting for the OTA, hope I will receive it soon, very well explained. Got to see that update on the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
Ugh..

Anybody thinking of doing this, DON'T DO THIS!!!!

There is NO POINT.

If you DO take the update like this, you could easily be LOCKED OUT OF THE ABILITY TO REGAIN ROOT.

Instead, wait for the update URL to show up in your LOG, download it SAFELY, edit in some ROOT, and write THAT.

CHANCES ARE that a superstock modification of this update will appear HERE ON THIS SITE ***before*** your particular phone is even updated.

My suggestion: GET BACK YOUR ROOT RIGHT NOW!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] loulou704:
ok so question,,,,i searched around and the answer to this question always turned into a debate of where tmo's andriod updates come from and it never really gets answered.

the question is how do us users with unlocked mytouchs get the update?

i know this update along with others is pushed out my t-mobile so i dont know why theres a debate on all the forums as it would seem to me that if its coming from t-mo and not from google then you wont get it without a t-mo sim being present.

so im assuming this will have to ne a manual update....so will i just need the update file? and will the mytouch need to be rooted to apply it via sd card or will the mytouch except the file as is?

thanks for the help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
why are people downgrading for this??

seriously you already have froyo with cyan6

the feature set is trivial and NOT worth possibly loosing root over

gah... i can see it now, thousands of noobs installing the update then coming here and spamming "how do i install cyanogenmod" or "zomg i lost the rewtz, how canzerz me gets it bak?!"

you choosing to downgrade fail, and fail epically...

thank you

why is this thread even in dev section? and the starting tomorrow didn't really hold now did it? if we had an ota to work on and discussed how to make it work, this thread would be interesting, but this is all just this and that about something we don't have or know how is ;), it should be in the general section

Just a noob question. Do I have to unroot my phone to get the update? or it won't make a difference if I keep it rooted. Will apreciate any comment on this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Flokey:
I posted "Starting Tomorrow" it will take till the end of the month until the rollout is officially completed :)

They'll start with a rather small group of people to check if there are reports of bricked devices.. then a larger group and so on...

be patient guys ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Flokey:
Just rooted or custom rom too?

I'd suggest reverting back to stock if you want to be one of the first to receive it... personally I'd wait until someone successfully re-rooted the magic after an update and go for it afterwards by going back to stock
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cesarbric:
rooted with a custom rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] M9x3mos:
You will need to be unrooted basically a stock recovery image and stock software are needed to get the update. can be rooted stock.

To dl i the requirements are stock spl, recovery, Rom but Rom can have root in it as long as at least recovery is stock and possibly spl as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mark manning:
Its confirmed , people are getting the update

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mark manning:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sano64:
Quick (but important)question. I have the original mytouch 3g unrooted with 1.6 but I have an AT&T Sim card in my phone. Will I get the update without a T-mobile sim card??? And if I have a T-mobile sim card will it need a data plan to get the OTA update or will it work a Data package?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mark manning:
Yes you need t-mobile service to receive their update. I would assume you also need a data plan as well considering it is technically required with the phone,
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sano64:
I have a tmobile prepaid SIM. with that I get sms,mms and limited wep web, do you think that will work? the phone was originaly a contract phone...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mark manning:
I don't know about that one. I am sure there will be a manual download link by the end of today or tomorrow too. It only takes the right person to receive the update
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] daehl:
AndRoot support MyTouch 3G with OTA 2.2 ?

I haven't gotten the update yet, but what I'm wondering is, whether Universal AndRoot will support rooting the MyTouch 3G once it's been updated?

Now, I'm sure it's too early to expect a definative answer since the update just started, and few if anyone has received it yet. But is there any reason to think that AndRoot might work as is?

Otherwise, I suppose I'll wait to see if anyone here is able uploaded a version of the OTA update with root enabled. I hope that's likely.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
Probably will NOT work.

It isn't just likely, it is GUARANTEED.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
The comments here suggest that it is hitting now:

http://www.tmonews.com/2010/10/t-mo...eceiving-android-2-2-froyo-beginning-tomorrow

Also note that there is also some suggestion that it is being done as TWO updates, and the first update is fast. Interesting. Probably (must be) updating either the radio or the SPL in the first update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sano64:
I just noticed that the now that I'm unrooted and back at 1.6 there is no Myfaves and other tmobile things! Anyone have the corret way to get back to unrooted 1.6 T-mobile version! Is it the Sappimg.nbh or the Updat.zip thats causing this?!?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
PUT BACK YOUR ROOT!!!!

You do not and SHOULD NOT unroot for this. You will probably not be able to get root back again if you accept the update!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
I've heard stories that even removing preloaded bloatware could prevent an ota update from installing. I *think* the only thing I remember removing is the amazon mp3 app.

Do you think I need to reinstall it in order to receive the update?

If I'm not happy with the new update, won't I still be able to use sappimg to get back to cupcake and then reroot? Or do we think the update will prevent sappimg from being applied?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
And how is that supposed to help? Hmm?

Do you realize that a "goldcard" is nothing more than a specially prepared card used to tell the SPL that it is special? You don't think that with an SPL update, HTC might change the specifications for a "goldcard" so that it may no longer work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
Of course there's nothing impossible, but what do you think are the chances that all the best hackers will want to waste days of their lives to RE-hack a phone that is ALREADY OBSOLETE? No, they're just going to keep TRYING to break into the HTC VISION (which hasn't been broken yet.)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
Do you think that adding in a single binary called "su" would somehow destabilize it? OF COURSE NOT!!!

Better to install a FIXED version. You don't need to leave it up to CM to mix it into his unstable mess. In fact, the fixes that will be required *for your safety* are TRIVIAL -- I can even explain to you exactly how to make the changes so that you have a TOTALLY STOCK (but root) system! Its EASY. Two lines into the update-script. The first to copy the sh binary to su, the second to chmod 4755 it... or if you prefer, an su binary and superuser.apk. Little bit more secure that way.

There is simply NO SENSE in letting yourself get locked out!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
I hope it comes fast for you. Just remember that there are TWO updates. No doubt the first update sets the system up to take the second update. It would be a good idea to take a decent look at it before you take the second one in case it does something like disabling adb.... or taking the second one through a wifi with a capture going on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cesarbric:
I know the phone is OBSOLETE, I will be changing it as soon as my contract expire, only want to see how it behave with an official release without all the stuff that come with modified roms

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sano64:
you can get in the sig bet too and keep us "retards" in line
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
... yes, and that can be done SAFELY, without you taking the risk of being STUCK.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
6 months is an eternity. You want to wait ANOTHER 6 months to get back to where you were TODAY? That you had NO REASON to wait if you simply modified the update to be safe? Safe now = rooted stable update tomorrow. Impatient now = stuck with crippled update until next APRIL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
I might be up for that, but I don't have any programming or coding experience, although I am comfortable with messing with stuff. I was referring to most of the custom roms that have so much stuff modified that they are no longer stable. All I want is root so I can modify it as I see fit. All the other nonsense doesn't interest me.

You raise some valid points about T-mo trying to tighten security and lock us out of root access, although I think you're a little over paranoid about it.

The one question to ask is: why?! Unless it makes them money, I don't see why they would care that much. Rooting is legal now and I can't imagine they lose THAT much money over people bricking devices and then warrantying them.

My point is that I follow your logic and thought process. I just don't see disabling root access as a high priority for T-mobile, HTC, or anybody else unless it makes or saves them a significant amount of money. Make sense?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] eyegor:
lbcoder weren't you the one that said that the G1 is not yet obsolete just a month or two ago?

The phone is not obsolete. As we speak phones with way worse specs are being released. (not running android ofc)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
It doesn't matter if they are right or wrong, they BELIEVE that they are better off doing this -- probably out of a false belief that "apple does it, so it must be right". Proof is the HTC VISION. If they didn't try their best to make it difficult to obtain root, it would have been broken by now.

As for costing/saving them money... it would save them a TON of money to make rooting EASY and SAFE, so that people messing with their phones WON'T brick. GN1 is an example of this -- fastboot oem unlock and you're rocking. How many GN1 bricks have you heard of? Negligible. Dream bricks? TONS! Difference? One is MADE to be rooted (part of google's technical requirements), the other has to be HACKED.

And I totally agree with the bloatroms sucking. The official update won't morph into bloatroms that fast. In fact, the majority of REAL developers prefer a more barebones and flexible ROM than the bloatedness that comes out of the CM camp. Don't worry about it. Definitely, somebody will post a base+root ROM that is exactly what you (and I) are looking for... and it will be posted almost INSTANTLY after the update URL is identified.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] QuadDamage:
You're not gonna cry are you. He's right. Retards flash random roms and such and then spam the forums asking for help "omfg i gotz no display, somebody help i thought it was for the 32A".
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
It was obsolete before hitting the drawing board. IT HAS NO KEYBOARD!!!

And FYI: As soon as the VISION gets broken, the DREAM WILL be obsolete.

And hopelessly so.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] eyegor:
So what if it has no keyboard? Different people have different opinions about things. Then the N1 was also obsolete even before it was released.

The G1 will not be obsolete any time soon. As a high-end Android device it became obsolete a long time ago but as a smartphone...not any time soon.
