[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaygosTommyT:
updated!

worked like a champ! flashed spl, rebooted, put the ota rom on sd card..flashed rom, rebooted...ALL ON STOCK!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] h4xdaplanet:
Sweeeeeeeeet :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaMyth:
for some reason I can't get this to flash... my verification keeps failing
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nomadman:
thanks h4xdaplanet for finally posting the 1st update. and TommyT for confirming!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SilverSurfR:
Are you on a 32B myTouch?

Which zip are you trying to flash that's giving you the error?

Are you doing it from clockwork recovery?

Did you disable signature checks in Clockwork? I've had it cause problems in the past.

Flash SPL first, then the e059adc603a3.signed-opal-ota-60505.e059adc6.zip

NOTE: this will most likely put a stock recovery back on your device. I went from stock 1.6 to stock 2.2, so I have no idea what would happen to your recovery going from CM6 (guess that's what you have now according to your sig) to OTA Froyo.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] h4xdaplanet:
Universal Androot says I'm already rooted, but if I try to re-root it says Failed... weird. And I have superuser installed, and can't remove
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaMyth:
I have the SPL flashed, but I can't flash the official update... I have a 32B, and even after flashing the SPL, I still have RA amon 1.7.0G as my recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] h4xdaplanet:
It won't change your recovery, I think only NBH images do that...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaMyth:
then I still can't figure out why I can't install the official update, doesn't make sense if I have the correct SPL
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Thomas1981:
i have the same problem. flashed the new self signed slp but when trying to flash froyo i get E: no signature (539 files)

E: verification failed.

tried both links from 1st page, same result.

tried with clockwork recovery and Ra.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ROCKSTAR XS:
Thank you for the official SPL link it worked for me. As for the lag it happens the first time you boot up your phone but leave it be and it auto fixes within 5 minutes. I didn't have a missing market problem but probably because I didn't officially get it OTA :P

I can personally say it's faster then CM6 and very smooth. I also got a couple of apps I haven't seen anyone post anything about this but they are: Car Home, and Faves. I just booted up the market and it flashed a new market for me. Meaning there was an OTA update for my market as soon as my phone registered that it had 2.2.1 and it went into the stock recovery and flashed it. I'm impressed and excited. Yet again thank you for being a decent human being and putting the SPL link here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SilverSurfR:
Peek inside the OTA zips. There's stuff in there for the recovery.

Signature checks were disabled in Clockwork? Which new self signed SPL are you referring to? The one from the OP is signed with test keys. That should flash no prob with a custom recovery. The official one is not what I would call "self-signed". Do custom recoveries allow zips signed with anything other than test keys when sig checks are enabled?

Also did you try booting into HBOOT to verify SPL flashed? (Power on with Vol down held)

IIRC SPL doesn't actually flash until you go to reboot device in Clockwork recovery. Don't try to flash the SPL then the Froyo OTA back to back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Thomas1981:
i got :

SAPPHIRE PVT #@B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT- 1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO 0-2.22.19.261

isn't that the right one?

i installed after downloading the self signed installable spl from first post
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ca_PuNk:
I have a HTC Magic Vodafone.. that obivously, have the same hardware.. can I flash the SPL? Or i have to find a SPL for magic vodafone? (yes it's a stupid question)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darksim001:
I'm a total Android noob. Just got the mytouch 3g (my first android and touchscreen phone) off ebay for cheap. Followed the steps easy stock flashing steps. (had problems getting past the screen with the exclamation point, had to press home and power off again) Anyway, flashed the two files and then everything worked after rebooting a few times. Afterward it also asked me to update again for a market fix. Everything went well and I really like the 2.2 look.

Thanks guys.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SilverSurfR:
That's the right one. Not sure why you can't flash the OTA. Did you make sure Sig checks were off in Clockwork? That's the only thing I can think of that would give a verification error. Other than a corrupt zip. Unlikely but also another possibility.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Thomas1981:
i did turned off the sig checks. the error i'm getting is that:

--Installing : SDCARD:update.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

assert failed: getprop(''ro.product.device'') =="sapphire" !! getprop("ro.build.product")== "sapphire"

E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7)

Installation aborted.

i renamed it to update.zip. but i also tried with the original name.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SilverSurfR:
I think Clockwork recovery also has an option to disable asserts or something like that (should be right under disable sig check). Try that.

I'm guessing at this point, but I think the update is looking at your build.prop to make sure it's flashing to a correct device. If you're running CM6 or anything other than stock this line has likely been changed. In CM6 for example the build.prop has

ro.product.device=dream_sapphire

The update seems to be looking for just "sapphire" there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _jan_:
Here's the link to the market update on Google's servers:

h t t p :// android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/tmobile_opal/05d1432120ee.signed-opal-FRG83B-from-FRG83.05d14321.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Thomas1981:
i also tried disabling the asserts. the same thing happened. i was running cm6 but i reverted to stock 1.6 to wait for the OTA. OTA never came so i decided to go manual and i'm getting these errors

so what do you suggest i should do?

thanks for your help and patience
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gremsems:
I have exactly the same problem. I'm on cyan nightly at the moment and get the same as above when trying to install the update.zip.

What is strange in my opinion though is that I can only get into clockwork recovery when I state that I am a mytouch/ion.

If I try to install clockwork recovery and state that I am a HTC Magic (which I am) than I can't get into recovery. It then just hangs on the Vodafone boot logo...

Would this perhaps have anything to do with it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fouad1013:
Hey Guys, im a noob here. I have a MT3G 32B running Eztery's OTA rom,mMy Hboot is 1.33.0006 (SAPP30000) and my radio is 2.22.23.02 and i have Amon-RA 1.7 recovery. and i just got the notification for part 1. Can i flash that or will it brick my phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Thomas1981:
another thing to add is that either in RArecovery or clockwork as well as in the stock recovery i get at the bottom of the page the msg E:can't open /cache/recovery/command.

is that has anything to do with the errors?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DEFINITIONOFREAL:
So we need root n custom recovery to install
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SilverSurfR:
This is probably Clockwork's way of differentiating a myTouch/ION (32B devices) from 32A Magic devices.

I was getting that error too on a stock recovery.

Other than flashing a stock recovery, I don't know what else I could recommend you guys try. Hopefully someone else can shed some light on the issue.

Not anymore. Stock SPL update.zip is on page 73 IIRC. You can flash that and the OTA zip with a stock recovery. No root required anymore.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DEFINITIONOFREAL:
Kinda a noob, what is iirc
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gremsems:
It doesn't work for some of use.. see the posts above...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
you da man!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bivio:
I think that the 47ae718e805e.signed-opal-ota-69093.47ae718e.zip from Google's servers is the second update with the Market fix included.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fellara:
Worked perfect for me with stock 1.6 & stock recovery. Runs like a champ!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thedrickster:
So what was the verdict on the official SPL, does it wipe out the custom recovery (RA 1.6.2 which I would like to keep)?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DEFINITIONOFREAL:
No its the spl, just recieved 10 minutes ago, ill post it when I get home
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Yovecio:
2 questions... The official spl+the ota froyo rom+market update is the full froyo ota rom?Or will be other future update of this rom?

Another question...i have root magic 32b recovery amon_ra 1.7.0 radio 2.22.23.02+death spl... can i flash it with my non stock recovery? Does the spl make the rom faster?An if i flash the official spl it will overwrite my death spl with this new,i wan't to chage the death spl...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nozyczek:
I would also like to know. Anyone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thedrickster:
The answer is .....No :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jdaigle:
I Flashed the spl fine, but when I flash the ota update, I keep getting

"E:Syntax error in update script

Installation aborted."

Any Ideas?

Edit:

I'm flashing with stock recovery, and I just did a flash to stock firmware to get back to 1.5 hoping to get the official OTA, it came and my phone just sat at the recovery screen when I installed it. I had to reboot the phone, and I still am at 1.5. Also, I thought the zip might be corrupt, so I redownloaded... same thing. Tried flashing 10 times, tried wiping data, no luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nozyczek:
Great! Thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Thomas1981:
went to this thread "Sapphire 32A 32B SPL 1.33.2013 & SPL 1.33.0013 for T-MOBILE 2.2 FROYO update", downloaded the "FROYO 2.2 OTA modified - no check", installed, then full wipe, once open i got the market update, installed it and thats it. works great. (with the new spl ofcourse)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonStieberto:
Do i NEED to flah the new SPL??? I just tried to flash only the OTA and it works very fast! It'll be FASTER than without the new SPL??? Can sb. explain this....??? :confused:

And does somebody have a solution for german language??? Custom Locale and Custom locale 2 doesn't work! The most is in still in english!!! Also the market... :(((
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
You need to be on 1.6, not 1.5
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
-- Added downgrading to Donut (1.6) and various other fixes on Post #1. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonStieberto:
And anybody have an answer to this????? :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jadephyre:
I'd also like to know about that.

Can I flash the new SPL through AmonRa Recovery ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] YarsRevenge78:
Well I attempted to get the information with an entry level drone chat. I was told the update will only be available OTA, which I expected to hear. I was also told that I can not speak to a supervisor or a higher level rep about the matter. That isn't cool at all. I didn't expect to get any information, but I at least thought I'd be forwarded on to another more knowledgeable tech.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
I think you need root to overclock,hopefully we'll be able to root after the update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ernestnwanu:
question: will this update be of any use to me using a Belgian HTC Magic? Any extra steps I would need to take? I'm currently on old radio and rooted.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] raduque:
This OTA is only for myTouch3G-branded devices. I'm sure that eventually it will be pulled apart and parts of it used to build other Magic roms, but for now, it's only for T-Mobile US devices.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] insanedrunk:
That's the whole point of putting the rom here so everyone that has root will have Ota 2.2 rooted, I believe adding root to a rom just requires adding busybox and superuser, should be to hard, once that's done, we have to deodex the rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mat738:
The update is for old radio or new radio?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nobooya:
It's for 32B magic, so neither old nor new radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lotherius:
Surprised that no real hacker has gotten hold of this yet. Don't really want to unroot the room-mate's MT3G and slip in my Vibrant sim card until I *KNOW* I can get the update. He doesn't have a data plan, so when it is time for the update I need to be able to get it done in a few hours or less.... This "OTA Only" crap really is annoying. Waiting for *someone* to rip the update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mat738:
You're right...what a noob! :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
its better for us to wait til they update the mt3g 1.2 which is a 32A...and then every device has it's froyo!32A and 32B!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thehalfling:
It would be a waste of your time. Nobody you are going to be able to speak with via chat or on the phone will be able to get the update to you any faster. There is no button to press to send it out, and they don't have the link to hand out even if you ask really nice or speak to a supervisor.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SHOOTEMUP2.0:
Unrooted on the 13th just to get this update. I don't know which is worse, the wait or no root?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jdyates:
@SHOOTMEUP2.0: Just flash back to stock 1.6, then use Universal Androot, and when you get the update, use the app to unroot and install :) thats what i did. Stock 1.6 blows ANY ROM out of the water in terms of speed and stability.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AndroidKills:
i dont use em either. kills battery. slows your phone whats the point.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AndroidKills:
same here. and sadly no update yet :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drumkid:
i unrooted on the 15th... is it possible that I may have received the update before that, and am not gonna get it OTA anymore? :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Link2097:
...I Doubt It

im in pretty much the same situation as you and i really doubt what you said is the case because i only read maybe 8 people that said they have had it by even now (the 16th) and i bet they were liars anyway so dont worry just stick with no root for now and be patient thats what im doing

...of course i mean do what ever you want im just saying my plans (for world domination with froyo MUHAHAHAHAHAWWW :P )
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jadephyre:
This whole OTA thing is BS anyway... why can't they upload it to one of their servers and post a download link.

It would be much easier this way, for everyone...

But then again... TMo probably has no intention of making it easy for us.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] CaptainShanks:
I bet they're specifically releasing the OTA to people using the lowest amount of data first to piss us off XD
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jadephyre:
If that is indeed the case then screw them, I'll stick with CyanogenMod 5.0.8

Oh what the hell, i'm starting not to give a **** anymore.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Basically, you need Froyo recompiled with the German language packs. Unfortunately, we don't have that, someone will have to mod it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stangri:
Is this an engineering spl?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Yes, it should work with the "official" update, but if not, use the self-signed one. They are one in the same :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
No, it's the official OTA. I would be careful about flashing any other SPL's, because the official OTA flashes a newer radio. Not sure if the newer radio will work with the older SPL's.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonStieberto:
That is the reason I better don't flash!!! Radio flashing is a little bit dangerous! :p Otherwise: do i NEED the new SPL??? Is it visible faster than another one???

Yeah....that woul be nice, if somebody could do this!!! :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] greeneyes2910:
So I´ve played around a little bit with the new radio and try to flash back to custom rom.

That haven´t worked for me so far unless i switch back to old radio + custom kernel.

Could it be, that the new radio,kernel & spl can flash together within a custom rom, e.g. cyanogen, superfroyo etc? - at least for 32B Magic?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fouad1013:
Hey guys, so i was running ezterry's OTA rom. and i was trying to flash the spl with amon-RA and it wasnt working. so i tried to flash clockwork rom, from the rom manager app. That wiped my recovery, and i cant flash a new one because i keep getting device has no memory error. Please help, i have no recovery and im stuck. I have a MT3G 32b. Hboot is 1.33.0006 (SAPP30000) and my radio is 2.22.23.02
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Really depends on dependencies, etc within cm, I am sure it could be done. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Read post 1, tells you how to flash the spl
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Race2Speed:
So with the Official SPL, does the OTA update run even faster or is there no difference?:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drumkid:
i'd like to know this too!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
no, but the new radio does free about 10MB of ram that froyo needs to operate. ;) So sort of, the new radio and spl need to run together. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jadephyre:
but can we still get root after flashing the new radio ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thedrickster:
So this turned out not to be entirely true....while the SPL didn't wipe out RA 1.7.0 the ROM Flash did.....

When booting with Home-Power (to enter RA) I now receive the Phone and exclamation error (can still boot into ROM or Stock Recovery).

So now I have an unrooted OTA Froyo phone with no custom recovery and Maps-My Location from towers still don't work :(

Back to cupcake for me I suppose.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jadephyre:
The problem that i'm having at the moment is that none of this is rather clear to me... there is just so much Information floating around in this thread that is is getting rather confusing.

Considering that I can deal with the ROM only being in english, I still don't know which SPL I should flash and if I need a new radio to enjoy Froyo to the fullest.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Read the first post, you need the latest spl, the ota will flash the latest radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jadephyre:
and root still works after that ?

The one thing I definately need is being able to flash a custom recovery should I wish to restore a previous nandroid.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ca_PuNk:
but.. if put a rom made with this update that doesen't require the new spl and radio, means that i don't have the 10 mb of free ram?

Means that, that rom doesn't use all the "power" of new froyo update?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SenorChang:
I don't know if this is helpful at all, but I have a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G without a T-Mobile plan (my phone isn't connected to the T-Mobile network or APN), and I just got the update today completely over wifi. Runs great! I only saw 2 updates, not the one for the Market, which works fine for me.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fouad1013:
Okay, but how to i get my recovery back? My recovery got wiped and i cant seem to flash a new one
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ca_PuNk:
find a nandroid backup with the original recovery..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
As in post one shows under SPL (WORKAROUND), use flash_image. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fouad1013:
how would i restore the nandroid without a recovery? and do all nandroid back ups restore recovery?? And im getting read errors when i try to flash recovery, not write errors
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] topnomi:
Ok, i got the spl flashed with amon_ra recovery. then, when i tried installing the ota it kept erroring out, saying no signature and verification failed. then i found this ota http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=812143 that skipped this check and was able to install.

now i'm running 2.2.1 stock!!!!

after playing around for a little while i descovered how much i have come to depend on custom roms. this rom does not have busybox, so i had to install manually. i also had an issue where it kept resetting my recovery, so every time i had to get in i had to re-flash it thru rom manager. i was unable to get firerat's apps2sdext to work through the all in one script.

i decided to go back to the modified ota with cm kernal. but with the new spl and radio these roms won't boot (bootloop).

now i just re-flashed the ota and am proceeding to re-root :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SenorChang:
I did :D I guess I wasn't clear about the point I was making: you don't need an active T-Mobile plan or even to be connected to the T-Mobile network to get this update. Just thought I'd pass that along in case anyone was curious.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jadephyre:
I guess i'll have to wait to see what Cyanogen does with all the stuff provided by this ROM as i'm too much of a chicken to risk not being able to go back to previous Radios or SPL's...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DEFINITIONOFREAL:
Just unrooted and updated to froyo using this method with no problems, all from my phone (no pc) took about 20 minutes ( with wifi), theres a lag at first but it smooths out after it settles in

First of all thanks for all the work you guys have done.

Quick question about SPLs, I have a completely stock MT3G running 1.6 with this info:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

If I update with the official OTA SPL and ROM, it will change me to the non perfected SPL (1.33.0013) which would be suitable for Nandroid backups ? (assuming I root with SuperOneClick)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thedrickster:
Do you still have amon_ra post OTA? Mine was blown away (Exclamation screen upon Home-Power).
