File 1 http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/tmobile_opal/894fb8631db9.hboot-1.33.0013.opal.zip

File 2 https://android.clients.google.com/...59adc603a3.signed-opal-ota-60505.e059adc6.zip

File 3 (Still Not sure what this file is)

https://android.clients.google.com/...17d.signed-opal-FRG83-from-DMD64.e3671133.zip

Here are the correct downloads. This update only works on the Original My Touch 3G. Not the My Touch 3G 3.5 or Fender Version.

I took these instructions from Smapdi's Post

Renamed 894fb8631db9.hboot-1.33.0013.opal.zip to update.zip and placed it into the root of my SD card. Rebooted into recovery and flashed it (Turn on with Home then Power Key to boot into recovery). The process restarted the phone a few times (DO NOT TOUCH THE THING ONCE YOU START THE FLASH!!!!!) and eventually booted into 1.6.

I rebooted into fastboot and saw HBOOT was now 1.33.0013 :-D

I then took e059adc603a3.signed-opal-ota-60505.e059adc6.zip and renamed it to update.zip and put it into the root of the SD card deleting the previous file. Repeated the same steps as before and the phone did the whole restart itself a few times thing and eventually booted to 2.2!!!

Great work guys!

Thanks for everyones help I hope you enjoy Froyo 2.2.

I do concur, the Philly Cheese Steak is quite delicious, however I find that nothing beats a good Cheeseburger!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Foo_Blyat:
Which one is which?

And do they need to be flashed in a specific order?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Stingerrray:
File one is new. File 2 is the one that has been out for a couple of days. I'm not sure on the install will test soon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Foo_Blyat:
ill go ahead and test this aswell, so tech i should flash file 2 then file 1 since that is the order they were released in?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] XfooYen:
actually the I believe the first file is the spl and would be flashed first. Be careful.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Foo_Blyat:
i thought file 1 should be flashed first aswell but to me it looked like the 2.2.1 update since theres a "FRG84-from-DMD64" line in the code.

anyone else care to maybe back that assumption up or throw in your own 2 cents, wouldnt mind a few opinions before i flash these files.

Both downloaded, both have been put onto the root of my sdcard. Just waiting on a guiding light before i boot into stock recovery and flash
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zeritooverride:
I also have the files ready but I dont have the guts to flash. I barely use the MT3G lately but I dont want to risk a brick.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] PulldOvr:
negative

Good news is the phone doesn't brick after trying to flash the first file. Bad news is it comes across an error. Apparently this is for a different phone. I got the error "E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7)" with a bunch of other gibberish about buildprops before it ..

hope this helps someone ..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ratchet789:
has anyone tested these file yet with success?

Before you continue being an ass had you thought about he is someone that upgraded from a mytouch 3g to a vibrant and still has his old mytouch? That is exactly what I did and I am still trying to update my mytouch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] PulldOvr:
My Vibrant runs off MT3G roms ...

On a serious note .. I have an original MyTouch 3g, a Cliq, a G1, and a Vibrant ... usually just lurk around these forums and try not to intervene too much because people are quick to become trolls on this site .. then they complain when no one will help them .. gee i wonder why ... learn to be a little nicer, and maybe we can get some work accomplished as a whole ...

and just to clarify, I tested this on an original MyTouch 3g, 1.33.006 SPL, (stock) and unrooted DMD64 build.

This made me think that a "...*** from DMD646" update file would work. I'll be sure to keep my testing to myself so i can avoid trolls like you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Foo_Blyat:
Don't get your panties in a bunch...

I already tried 1.5 -> 2.2.1 and both builds of 1.6 -> 2.2.1, doesn't work in any order
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Stingerrray:
I've tried to update with both files no luck. They are definitly part of the update. I did notice from an earlier post with photos that one file was looking to the system cache file for the other file. So just a thought maybe both files need to be in place before the update can take place. Maybe this could be the problem. Any thoughts on this?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] h4xdaplanet:
I thought that the first update was supposed to be 300-400kb? Where did you discover this link out of curiosity?

I saw the file name in another post with a view of a botched upgrade due to root. put the file name in the url for the other update and it was a valid url.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Asadullah:
First off any time you want to test if a file is legit or not ( coming from htc/google ) you can just test the keystore via command prompt if the java development kit and runtime is in your system path. Don't remember the code off hand.

Second I would really suggest either using someone elses update script or at least replace/delete most of it. As well as install su and busybox. Because it won't run in a custom recovery.

Enjoy if you can!

Tried first file

I have a mytouch 3g black running 1.6 build DMD64.

I tired updating using the first file and got the same error as the last post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smapdi:
Wow! It worked!

I found the poster's first file on the official T-Mobile forums and, since I now have a spare MyTouch 3G (G2 FTW!), I figured I'll try it out.

Renamed 894fb8631db9.hboot-1.33.0013.opal.zip to update.zip and placed it into the root of my SD card. Rebooted into recovery and flashed it. The process restarted the phone a few times (DO NOT TOUCH THE THING ONCE YOU START THE FLASH!!!!!) and eventually booted into 1.6.

Great work guys!

EDIT: I just realized the first file linked is NOT the HBOOT update (read a bit too fast). Here is the link I got from the TMobile forums for the HBOOT update that IS NEEDED for the 2.2 update to work:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] liranc:
Anyone else confirms that this works?

Can whoever confirms also state the exact order w/ links of where they downloaded and which goes first.

right now I'm build DMD64 of the old MyTouch 3g.

EDIT:

xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807899

This worked for me!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] majinkenZERO:
I can confirm that this definitely works. The link given by smapdl is indeed the correct HBOOT that is needed for part 2 of the update. Part 2 I just grabbed from the the OP link of part 2. Now I have Froyo goodness complete with USB tethering, Froyo a2sd, chrome to phone, blah blah. :D Build FRG83 from DMD64

The only thing that sucks now is that Universal Androot doesn't work at the moment. And may never work because of perfected SPL? <<I don't believe that will last long.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] majinkenZERO:
I was rooted with Universal Androot. Even though I did it manually, you can still get the update that way since with Universal you still have the original kernel, but updating to the official froyo system will wipe out root privileges. Custom roms use custom kernels so if that's the case then no you will not get the update in that way. This is to my understanding.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ReTro FuZe:
Ok, thank you..and i havent flashed anything manually because i want to make sure its everything, i remember that the first part was missing or something...have we got it now???
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] majinkenZERO:
The only thing I note is missing so far is the New and Weather app. The new youtube app is sick, I love the new UI. You have to download it from the market though. But yeah tethering, apps 2 sd, multiple google accounts, it's all here. Of course we don't have flash and I believe we didn't get the JIT compiler. I could be wrong though. It's responsive none the less.

But if you want to keep root access for your phone then search the XDA forums for CM6remix. It's a cross between the official and CM6. There's a video on youtube for it too. Search youtube for MyTouch 3G Official T-mobile Android 2.2 Froyo Update

EDIT: There is no live wallpaper support for the OTA
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] majinkenZERO:
We even have the 3D gallery
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ReTro FuZe:
what would you recommend??? and is there anyway to integrate the 2.22.19.26I radio or its included?...i know its the original, but it seems like my download speed is waaay better...idk...let me try it with the 2.22.23.02 one...cuz that radio is SEXAAAY!!! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] majinkenZERO:
OP, I think that third file is the failed Part 1 of this process
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] majinkenZERO:
The OTA Froyo rewrites the radio and gives us the new one. I don't know if the CM6remix incorporates this radio or not. If I had it I would post it.

Me for the moment, I'm happy with the OTA but I know that root bug is gonna start itching in me soon so I would go with the remix. It looks just as fast and safe as the OTA
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ReTro FuZe:
thank you, i appreciate it...cuz ive been waiting for an answer all day lol :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Stingerrray:
MajikenZERO,

I dont think that is possible due to the fact that the file will unzip with no errors. And it can be downloaded from google servers as a complete file. Not quite sure what it is but I will try to install it if I can. It is a smaller file than the other as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] techbeck:
Got tired of waiting so I flashed this and it works great. Do you root froyo the same way as 1.6?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] XfooYen:
You can root with SuperOneClick. It's totally easy. Takes about 2 minutes. No flashing or ADB necessary. It installs su and busybox automatically. Go to unlockr.com and search for it. There's a video and instructions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] majinkenZERO:
You're right, SuperOneClick worked! It's funny because it would not for the life of me work under 1.6. I had to use Androot.

Guyz im going crazy here...i flashed the 2.2.1 and then i superoneclicked it and its rooted...supposedly...now how do i install amon ra's recovery on my original mytouch 3g cuz its bugging my brain...i tried the terminal and i tried through flashrec and i tried adb...su worked and all but i got an error in the end...WACK!!! Please help..thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ratchet789:
use rom manager flash the recovery then scroll to the bottom and you will see what you looking for amon ra's recovery1.7.0 then you have it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] majinkenZERO:
If you use the "superoneclick" rooting method from the unlockr then you can download "rom manager" from the market and flash the clockwork recovery that way. Worked for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nomadman:
so when you reboot, it doesnt defalt back to stock recovery? it has happened to me twice. but I think i know why and i'll post back if successful.

//edit

i read from another thread to remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. i just renamed it using root explorer.

Hej,

i've got some kind of noob questions:

1. i've got a magic 32B (the vodafone-edition), will this update work on it? (i assume it will, but i just don't want to take risks)

2. do i keep my apps and their settings (like gamesaves :D )? if not, how can i recover them?

3. at the moment i have 1.6 unrooted on my phone, do i have to return to 1.5 or will the update work on 1.6?

Worked for me. Just follow the directions they are pretty simple and straight forward.

Oddly though it wouldn't work on my Kingston class 4 32GB MicroSd card, I had to go and look threw all my phones and I found a 128MB one... Lol yea yea its old what ever... but it worked so if your having trouble with your high capacity memory cards try a smaller one!

Official Froyo 2.2.1 manual upgrade worked !

Stingerray,

You are awesome. I upgraded my MT3G (32B) all the way from 1.5 to 2.2.1, following the instructions. Got tired of waiting on TMO for an "OTA" upgrade.

So far its working with the first 2 files. I will try to reboot with the 3rd file and see what happens. This is cool!

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
File 1 is obviously the SPL and file 2 is obviously the ROM itself.

Did file 2 upgrade your radio as well? If not, perhaps file 3 is the radio?

Or perhaps file 3 is the "market fix" that I keep hearing about in the other threads?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aeok18109:
thanks for this ill attempt this on my GFs mt3g tonight. shes tired of waiting on Tmo. i previously owned the phone before i upgraded to my Vibrant (Bionix Fusion 1.1/Core 1.2ghz/OCLF FTMFW)

i used to have all the iterations of CM since 4.2 on there. i absolutly HATED CM6 on there so she was content with 5.08

im hoping this version of 2.2 is worth a crap

I downloaded parts 1 and 2 of this update and applied them in t he correct order via the boot menu. All is well, except all of my contacts were wiped and when I add a contact my contacts viewer doesnt display them (If I use a contacts backup app I can see the contact I just added in the CSV).

Any idea why this happened? Maybe its because I need the 3rd update?

Other than this issue, I really like the new UI and its pretty snappy :).

(My MyTouch3G (Original, 32B) was stock Android 1.6 before I applied this update)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kponti:
Ok new to the Mytouch forums and never modified mine so please bear with me. I have googled and search and I cannot find an answer to my problem.

I cannot boot into recovery! I recall doing this a year or so ago and the screen I got then is quite different from the one I am getting now.

When I hold the power and home keys, the phone boots into a screen with a triangle and an image of the phone and stays there. If I pul the battery and reboot, it will reboot just fine.

Stock Mytouch 3g with USB debugging enabled. I did not have a sim card in the phone when I tried, dont know if that matters

EDIT: Figured it out, yuo have to push the home+power key after seeing that screen to get to the recovery screen

Now if I can only figure out what the 3rd file is for before I update. Thanks OP, loving the Froyo goodness so far!!!

Hey,

I've posted a few times with general errors and at times severe lag with my HD2, and have been educated that WM6.5 is behind all of this.

I'm usually very busy and at times it's really difficult to get a satisfactory response from the phone, i hate that the phone has so much to offer, but is held back by the operating system.

I've never really had the motivation to flash a new ROM, i have CHT2 and its editor but i am aware this is software manipulating and doesnt affect the hardware.

My question is, should i be thinking about flashing a new ROM to my device, in order for completely flawless performance? and could anyone recommend me any??

Greatly appreciate any help guys!
[HD2 General] Rouz.:
Workaround

You dont really have to switch to another rom. You are experience this lags & issues due to installation of cabs & customizations during a period of time.

What You can do is to perform a hard-reset to restore the phone to its original state. This will erase all your existing data and customizations, and it restores everything to the way it was when you first bought your phone.

If you don't want to loose your data, you can make a backup of your contants messages or etc, using PIM backup. then follow this instruction:

Turn off your phone. hold down the volume up and down keys (both at the same time) and press the call-end (power) button. then follow the instruction on the screen, and you are done :)

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Personally Id reccomend the energy rom series.....

A lot of people reccomend Artemis or Dutty's roms too.........

You could always just switch to a different stock rom, if the rom your on at the moment is a network specific rom (full of tmobile/02 bloatware) then maybe just switching to a generic wwe stock rom might help......
