Oh dear it just looks like HTC and the carriers made this on purpose ... everyone savvy enough unbranded their Legends to get rid of all the crap (particulary Vodafone's), and now they release the branded versions first to see if we return to the branded versions ...

The hell I'm going to fall for that, I just hope the unbranded update doesn't come real late. From time to time I really think on paying the toll of breaking the contract and going to another handset and manufacturer.
[Legend General] loscassapalle:
i don't understand something:

is sufficient to check for updates or not?

[Legend General] lessirey:
India unbranded

No Froyo yet !
[Legend General] tenzomonk:
sorry... xda is acting goofy (i posted this at 3:49pm... somehow ended up here!)
[Legend General] capychimp:
many have updated but no one has made a dump, pretty sad
[Legend General] seereek:
Poland, unbranded. No FroYo. (i wonder if it shows up by the end of the month...)
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Argh! this sucks, my update it taking SOOOOO long to download!

to think I was half way through and just about to debrand my Legend using the RUU last night :D

Glad I didn't (but will when/if an unbranded RUU shows up).
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
This is taking wayyyyy too long, how can I use the downloaded UK zip to flash it to my phone? rename it to update.zip goto recovery and do it there?
[Legend General] kdma:
italy still getting only 1.31.405.5 update avaible:mad:

Waiting for some good samaritan to get rid of vodafone crap. Good news, only thing left for my phone to be happy is alpharev:)
[Legend General] pik1:
will it help...

to have the ota-zip files? they can be downloaded on the pc...
[Legend General] maxonite:
Looks like both a newer radio and kernal version than current cyanogen 6.1
[Legend General] johnnytruant:
There isn't any. Well, there isn't any more than before. There's the pointless VF apps like "Music" and so on (which, obviously, still don't work), plus the startup animation, but apart from that - it's very clean.

I was expecting some kind of Desire/GalaxyS style branding spamathon, but it seems* VF have learnt a lesson on that front.

* "seems" is the important word here. I genuinely believe this is an accidental release by Vodafone.
[Legend General] GeoMil:
If I have a rooted Legend can I just update to this manually?

I understand I will loose my root, but apart from that is it all good?

Cheers
[Legend General] loscassapalle:
can someone answer me pls...

is sufficient to check for updates?

i have 1.31.405.5

Froyo VULGARIS? :confused:
[Legend General] johnnytruant:
Vulgaris: Latin, meaning "common"

hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulgaris

Answer is no, it's got Sense included. Whether it's the new Sense is another question - it looks and feels pretty much the same to me.
[Legend General] pik1:
vulgaris: ordinary ;)
[Legend General] Frostbeule2k:
If you want update to FroYo now:

1. Flashing the Firmware

2. OTA-Update to Version 2.05.161.1

3. OTA-Update to Version 3.14.161.1 (FroYo / Android 2.2)

The Firmware contains the Languages for German, Netherland and English.
[Legend General] ikdegek:
OK, sounds good, but than no ROOT anymore. I prefer waiting on CM implementing the new drivers, sense en FMradio. Root access has a lot advantages.

And what about sim-lock??
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
4% downloaded, what the?! been going well over 30mins since I had to restart it.

can I rename the file from the first post to update.zip and put it on my sdcard and flash it?
[Legend General] Frostbeule2k:
Try it... ;)
[Legend General] BlaY0:
Hmm, I see they have made AP mode firmware for i-Fi card. Nice one...
[Legend General] seereek:
"unbranded phones come first". Yeah, what else... poland - still no froyo update.
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Nope :( Error code 7

bah! have to start again, and it had just got to 5% when I shutdown the try the update.zip method.
[Legend General] amstuzmarco:
This sucks...

Switzerland unbranded, no news.

still no Froyo.
[Legend General] andrekua:
Downloaded the update package and wondering how to sign the file to update the radio image only..
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Never mind after reboot it's coming down a lot faster! :D very strange as I had cancelled the download and started it again before rebooting. 26% in less than a minute! hurrah!
[Legend General] podaskie:
still no Froyo in india
[Legend General] gaga111:
yay!

its installing right now.

i was wondering that it was available for me, coz i got vodafone branded device (germany)

:D
[Legend General] loscassapalle:
can someone answer?:)
[Legend General] Crypto_ahash:
Can someone please make a nandroid backup of your system after it has been fully updated to 2.2 and post the system.img here or as pm to me?
[Legend General] acid74:
Yes that's all.
[Legend General] Kwen:
I'm glad my script turned out to be useful after all :D

hmm, it seems like the http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Legend_Fr...7.2_release_136766_156979h6vst6mdtj4013sm.zip shows as 404 Not found

Other 2 updates are fine
[Legend General] Ganii:
A system dump would be nice ;)
[Legend General] nutunited:
We won't know until they release the OTA update. My gut tells me the update will be for software version 2.03.405.3, so you MIGHT have to update manually to 2.03.405.3 before you can get it... That being said 2.03.405.3 was not released in a lot of countries so who knows.
[Legend General] Ciela:
Ive flashed to unrooted HTC UK firmware and am applying the final update to Froyo now. I'll try to get a dump of the filesystem once it has completed
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
even with the OTA it failed with the same error as when trying the manual method! grrrrr trying again
[Legend General] Crypto_ahash:
Indeed ;)
[Legend General] loscassapalle:
Tnx a lot
[Legend General] Ganii:
Thanks,I will wait ;)
[Legend General] g0dshead:
Netherlands unbranden nothing new on this end.
[Legend General] Ciela:
Sorry will take longer than expected. After the final patch applied and rebooted, my touchscreen was unresponsive (hardware buttons responded normally). Due to this I was not able to unlock the device and check if it was on Froyo, and ADB was not enabled :S

Trying to recover it now
[Legend General] mkamilu:
I have the same ;)
[Legend General] Ganii:
That`s makes me :( ;)
[Legend General] Metallaro:
Hi.

I have a legend rooted with cyanogenmod 6, and I did't do any backup.

Can you tell me a way to make the unroot to my phone? :D Thanks
[Legend General] Ciela:
If you have any tips for getting the device going again, Id love to hear them :(

I have no ADB access, touchscreen doesnt work, grr :S
[Legend General] JusTox:
I've updated my Vodafone branded HTC Legend, tbh for a novice users it feels like no different. Doesnt feel that major in comparison with like a iPhone OS update.

Some nice pre-installed apps like the HTC torch, apps2sd and live wallpapers.

For some reason I can not get BBC iPlayer working, it tries to play with the loading circle and then says "Adobe Flash; The content is not supported". And also everytime i use the Internet click from page to page it keeps saying "complete action using", even after ticking the "use by default for this action" it still pops back up. And after getting use to clicking on menu to unlock the phone, they've now removed and need to go back to the good old drag down to unlock.
[Legend General] mkamilu:
What should we do now with this touchscreen? Pls help ;). We can't turn on debugging mode usb.
[Legend General] alexhtclegend:
Well, it took me 30 minutes to go from Azure to Vodafone Froyo. Compared with the original 2.1 ROM, there are most of the improvements that we expected, but also some surprises. We now have live wallpapers, which I didn't expect, and nice transitions when opening/closing an app, whereas you used to have Launcher Pro to get these. I'm not sure whether it is Flash Lite or Flash 10 - I'll try and find out now!
[Legend General] smeegol:
At the risk of sounding dim any chance someone could post a howto for switching from azure to HTC froyo? I assume that would no more root?
[Legend General] mnissan:
alexhtclegend please reffer to @ 28 sec.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHlN21ebeak
[Legend General] Pharaohnough:
@Ciela we are all morally behind you if it's any help (it isn't really...)
[Legend General] alexhtclegend:
Go to shippedroms.com, and find the Vodafone UK one. I'd already saved it to my PC when I rooted, just in case I needed it.

I think it has Flash 10!!! If not, its a better version of Flash Lite as more internet videos are working now, and you can watch Youtube within the browser! This is very much like the HTC Desire's firmware, what with the live wallpapers and window transitions etc! I wonder if it was supposed to be released?

EDIT: iPlayer not working, does it work on Android phones with Flash 10, such as the Desire?
[Legend General] kid1988:
dont forget:

http://zubu.ca/legend/fota_check.php

check online (broke my F5 button...)
[Legend General] alexhtclegend:
lol, that took me a while to work out what you were going on about!
[Legend General] johnnytruant:
My browser is reporting Flash 10.1.123 installed.
[Legend General] nofear2k:
Can anyone else confirm? I think i just jizzed in my pants..
[Legend General] nfinitefx45:
wel I am a dev from the sprint hero, but if you have s-off then download the ruu for your phone and revert it back to 2.1 then try to update it again. Or make a flashable from hboot with this boot img it is from the OTA just added debug and adb.

Waiting on one of you guys to get a dump
[Legend General] :
We all are... These Legend guys are slow :p
[Legend General] mkamilu:
How to make flashable from hboot :(?
[Legend General] Ciela:
OK Ive been able to flash RUU_Legend_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.4_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_126590_signed.exe with my Goldcard now, and have touch screen back!

best of luck with you getting it back too :)

Going to try do the OTAs again :)
[Legend General] g0dshead:
Rite now downloading froyo tru the uk update now.

Lets c what it brings.
[Legend General] BlaY0:
OK guys, I have it rooted :D

Took me half an hour...
[Legend General] nfinitefx45:
is your phone s-off patched? if so then you should be able to creat a file that is specific to the legend (ours is HERCIMG.zip) that hboot will auto detect. it will flash all files in it like boot.img, system.img ect... must include "android-info.txt" also.

this is a great fix but only if you are S-OFF enabled
[Legend General] g0dshead:
ROFL u da man!
[Legend General] Ciela:
BlaY0.. where is best to be with this then, to flash it/root it? Should I continue with updating to it? Or go back to an already rooted Eclair rom?
[Legend General] mkamilu:
Ciela You are the best :). Thank You very much :)
[Legend General] warriorofice:
Yeeessss!!!!!

you are big... very big
[Legend General] BlaY0:
@Ciela: Well, prolly I will wait for WWE OTA and root that coz this Voda stuff is not for me ;)
[Legend General] krasenk:
Good to hear that mate. :) Can you provide some tips or guidelines how can we use the OTA zip for creating a rooted flashable zip?
[Legend General] Ciela:
Can't they be removed via adb from recovery?
[Legend General] warriorofice:
i don´t understand. We will have a rom soon or wait for unbranded OTA?
[Legend General] stari4ek:
Guys,

Please, provide rom dump.

This is howto:

Connect device

Turn usb debug ON

open console in folder with Android SDK (SDK\tools)

type "adb devices" to check if device is accessible

type "adb pull /system dump"

pack dir 'dump' from your current dur (SDK\tools) to dump.zip (rar/whatever)

share it on any file service

Please.
[Legend General] BlaY0:
OK here's the deal.... as I can't UL everything to the internets (I'm on EDGE) here's what I did.

- Downloaded Voda RUU, OTA to 2.05.161.1 and OTA for FroYo

- Flashed system.img from RUU

- edit first OTA's updater-script - deleted checks and flash of firmware.zip

- flash tweaked first OTA via ClockworkMod

- edit second OTA's updater-script - deleted checks and flash of firmware.zip

- flash tweaked second OTA via ClockworkMod

- extracted radio.img from second OTA and flash it separately

- root boot.img from second OTA and flash it separately

- added su and Superuser.apk

- rebooted
[Legend General] BlaY0:
Yes, but why would I do that if WWE OTA is comming in the next couple of days...
[Legend General] g0dshead:
Yeah true , i wont have much need for the root atm , i will wait for a nice rom to popup here and then root it:)

cant believe tey released it on my birthday , waited forever , nice bday present anyhow!:)
[Legend General] Ciela:
Just making sure this isnt a typo? You did flash the first OTA twice?

How do I go about doing these? Sorry, Im a complete noob when it comes to this stuff (although have no troubles finding my way around ADB etc)
[Legend General] dirkkuyken:
can anyone upload the Vodaphone RUU ?

shippedroms is gives me a very unstable connection, download failed every time...
[Legend General] g0dshead:
Dirkkuyken check your pms.
[Legend General] Ciela:
Im flashing back to rooted Gratiend rom for now, I'll wait till theres definitive step-by-step directions to flashing this official rom once rooted :)
[Legend General] zoomee:
I never in a million years would have thought there would be an advantage to getting a vodaphone branded legend. But hey, what would I know lol!

Tried to run the unrooting guide program first and that refused to work.

Just installed the standard Vodaphone 1.31 RUU - eventually got it working after loads of faffing with USB settings.

After installing standard 1.31 Vodaphone rom - I connected to WIFI, downloade 2.05 as instructed, waited for the to install.

With abated breath - ran the software updater again and wahay! it found the 2.2 update instantly! - albiet I've been doing all this blindly as my phone refuses to set English as default using my O2 sim lol - German isn't too bad though ;)

Confirmed installed and testing right now - thanks for the heads up fellas - So much for everyone thinking a carrier ROM would come after the official WWE eh?

Think I'll stick with this ROM until its been rooted for now:> Just need to go find someone with vodaphone sim card I can borrow to setup english again lol
[Legend General] :
So non of you Legend guys are going to make a dump?
[Legend General] Kwen:
What kind of checks do I need to remove?

flashing of firmware.zip is easy, I just commented out write_firmware_image line

Or perhaps, could you zip and upload just the updater-script for us? :)
[Legend General] :
Okay thank you.......
[Legend General] BlaY0:
Yes, it's a typo.

I wouldn't suggest you do that if you don't know how things work. I deliberately didn't post more detailed guide coz it is very complicated if you don't know what you are doing. Do not try this especially if you are a Windows guy. Linux knowledge would certainly help.
[Legend General] BlaY0:
It is safe to remove all asserts.

Can't. I'm at home now.... was doing that in my office.
[Legend General] dirkkuyken:
Can't find the froyo update ?

I'm on the german 2.05.177.2 version but it wont find the update...

Can i force this ?

and I can't restart this with the uk version because of the bootloader...
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Download the german zip from the original post, rename it to update.zip, put it in the root of your sd card, shutdown the phone, boot it up holding the volume down button and power button, goto recovery, press volume up and power, choose to flash update.zip.

It will only work if you have not screwed up the voda branded original rom (like I did by deleting Vofafone Web and Music apps).
[Legend General] nethopper:
No, because it looks like HTC made a deal with Vodafone for their customers to get the update first. And we unbranded phone users can hope that we'll get it at all. This strategy is new and HTC lost just some of its positive reputation...
[Legend General] Pharaohnough:
Successfully upgraded to 2.2 Froyo!

1. Installed Vodaone 1.32.161.4

2. OTA-Update to Version 2.05.161.1

3. OTA-Update to Version 3.14.161.1

I am in Egypt and both OTA updates were immediately detected and downloaded extremely quickly and no problems along the way whatsoever
[Legend General] nolook:
how long is the deal exclusive to vodaphone?
[Legend General] dirkkuyken:
OK, I followed the downgrade guide, it worked and now I'm on the vodafone UK version...

Lets hope I will find the froyo update this time..
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
Trying to make a ROOTED rom based on the description given by BlaY0..

Hope to have it ready in a very short time :)
[Legend General] Pharaohnough:
I don't understand what exclusivity there is.. My device is unbranded and unlocked. It works fine with my Vodafone SIM and another SIM as well. The only branding of sorts is the startup animation. I was running a custom ROM and then followed the upgrade procedure from Vodafone 1.32.161.4 until I reached Version 3.14.161.1 (FroYo / Android 2.2) and have no issues. Right now I'm using the device with my non-Vodafone SIM
[Legend General] grlayouts:
Paul OBrien is working on a repack as we speak at modaco, shouldn't be too long.
[Legend General] BlaY0:
@whitetigerdk: Just be sure not to flash firmware.zip from OTA, it would run over your hboot and recovery.
[Legend General] in2ition:
I have 2.05.405.2

How can I downgrade to another version to get the 2.2 update?

I had bought the phone from VF but I don't think that it's branded...
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
Yup.. commented out all assert-commands and writing firmware.. :)
[Legend General] capychimp:
someone patching and making a nadroid dump for us????
[Legend General] njuzovi:
Hi,

I made my own version checker since current doesn't include version 2.05.405.2:

Feel free to use: misc . aubx . com / android

P.S. Can't post links so... :)
[Legend General] tenzomonk:
ha, seriously... i've been refreshing this page every 30 seconds (sorry XDA bandwidth) :)
[Legend General] Kwen:
Added 2.05.405.2 and the 3 froyo versions (they won't be showing as NEW anymore)
[Legend General] Crypto_ahash:
Yeah it is.
[Legend General] BlaY0:
One can not make a dump if system isn't rooted! Certain files wouldn't be dumped.
[Legend General] marclh1992:
Soft root / temporary root?
[Legend General] Firecold:
Here is the dump made by user sasory on 4PDA forums. Don't actually sure wherever his phone is rooted or not
[Legend General] Kwen:
hah, it looks like ClockWorkMode doesn't check for signature or asserts by default
[Legend General] BlaY0:
Dunno... last time I checked asserts were checked.
[Legend General] c_man:
^ to those that wanted it so much... ^
[Legend General] liderzre:
And now? ;)
[Legend General] Sean09:
Is it rooted/english/ready to flash?
[Legend General] paulobrien:
I am repacking now.

BEWARE.... if you flash this, there appears to be no way to permroot / downgrade at this time!

P
[Legend General] Firecold:
What if i'll try to flash it w/o HBOOT and recovery? Always thought that i could swap firmwares like shoes if i'm able to boot into custom recovery
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
What about your lovely recovery hack? or is that only available on G2'esqe phones?
[Legend General] BlaY0:
@Firecold: You can dl OTA, edit updater-script so it doesn't flash firmware.zip, then you extract that zip to flash only radio.img. You will also need to extract initrd from boot.img and edit default.prop and construct boot.img back...
[Legend General] sz1a:
Getting 1047 in benchmark with FRG83 Juicy rom compared to 907. Not sure if I'll switch, prefer Angry Birds to run smoothly and like "vulgaris" android look better. Please post battery performance changes if you can, I think that's something of interest to everyone.
[Legend General] andrekua:
How do you flash the radio image only?

I tried pasting the radio image into the previous radio only zip and but it wont flash.

BTW,

Any soul kind enough to repackage the radio and kernel only for flashing?
[Legend General] jennan88:
Does anybody in Australia on Vodafone have this update yet? My phone tells me I'm up to date
[Legend General] :
No, I'm in Oz on Vodafone and no update yet (same message as you if I run a manual update check).
[Legend General] jennan88:
So I guess we'll get our update a year or so after the US and Europe. Sick.
[Legend General] Ciela:
Can anyone who is knowledgeable on this please upload a modified boot.img and exact steps to follow to flash this as a rooted rom? :)
[Legend General] SnowToad:
Yes I'm in Aus with a legend and same thing.

Are our legends even branded though? Aus telcoms work differently to EU and US< they dont get like custom made branded phones for them, they just pick and choose whatever the hell they want after overseas gets them.

There is no hardware of software Vodafone branding at all on my Legend, but I have it on a contract from them.

Voda could have just bought up stock Legends and sold them to us. Can't really tell..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] itsme_4ucz:
Hi Folks,

I love android, but hate the HTC gallery on android, for following reasons:

1) Rotation - it really a big problem when you have mix of portrait and landscape pictures (especially when you have a photo taken in portrait but the content is landscape, like text for example), I like the behavior in HTCAlbum on windows mobile, where all pictures are presented in landscape (full screen).

2) It does not open album on launch, it tries loading all pictures available on SD card, making first access really slow, 90% times you go to gallery to view photos you have taken from the camera..

It will we really awesome if someone could either mod HTC gallery or recommend a gallery which has features desired...

Froyo's 3d/2d gallery has same issues...

List of Kernels and whether they work or not.

vorkKernel- Unfortunately this kernel does not work and causes many things to go wrong. Such as everything closing

BCblend [Over at the EVO Kernels for MIUI]- Does not work, would not even start. That's because it is for the EVO. But still worth a try:D

PM me or post here if you know any other kernels for MIUI or not for MIUI but you have tried it and it works.
