To clear things up

Sinterklaas is from the late Saint Nicholas. He lived in spain several hundred years ago. His kindness is celebrated every year in the Netherlands by giving presents. just legend and folklore...

I think, after a long family line, Santaclaus originates somewhere is this guy as well.

edit:

True, you're right.. wasn't paying attention in kindergarten when the taught us this...
[Legend General] YoMarK:
No, he didn't.

You can read in you're own wiki link that he originates from a place (present) in Turkey. ;)

Anyway, where is that update? My girlfriend's Legend is to slow to play Angry Birds :)
[Legend General] Xinot:
Update is coming.. dual core one...

In some day... ;D
[Legend General] ebaak:
Its funny how more than one thread was dedicated for the anticipation of FROYO update and all ended up becoming threads for jokes because of the endless wait.

I guess that's one more thing we can thank HTC for.
[Legend General] ryaneu:
HTC legend will get quad core upgrade soon.. trust me..

3.15.405.3

Im driving so could mess up something.
[Legend General] strophy:
I'm in China at the moment, but using the MoDaCo Custom ROM on a rooted Legend. It came rooted when I bought it with this really annoying Chinese ROM... I really want to change it to one of the original froyo Asian ROMs because I need the htc Chinese character input with handwriting (htc_cime). Does anyone have it, or can I check for the FOTA without downgrading and unrooting my phone all the way? Let me know how to do the check...
[Legend General] porzione:
I discovered that my brand new Legend bought in Moscow is within "carrier=HTC-India". Because of this not updating with the current 2.2 firmware.

Now I'll wait with you ;)
[Legend General] killban:
I am also in China, and had a GOAPK ROM on mine. I flashed it using the WWE RUU for 2.03.405.3. Very easy to do, but it took a bit of careful study to get a Goldcard sorted so I could flash in the first place.

theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard

It was so successful, that I have flashed 4 other Legends using my goldcard.

I got the 2.05.405.2 update on Wednesday, and then the 3.15.405.3 update yesterday.
[Legend General] prabhu_mohan:
India/Asia Pacfic HTC Legend Users - I read somewhere that HTC going on vacation for Christmas n New Year and they will release the Froyo in 1st week of January. If u guys get any info regarding this please update!
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
****tttt, my Legend

HTC-Asia-Sea-WWE

with HTC_044 cid...

so, porzione, i'm waiting with you ?:-D
[Legend General] porzione:
Yeah ;)

or we can begin with goldcard, root and custom froyos))
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
aha, это точно блин :-) What you'r prefer for today?))

I think maybe we will wait for official update and use stock?
[Legend General] porzione:
Задолбало уже это деление на регионы)

I haven't enough spare time for fighting with GC, custom firmwares, etc, I'll just wait for asian froyo.
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
i'll be with you :-]
[Legend General] dolph2005:
Друзья не парьтесь будет и на нашей улице грузовик с Froyo.

Don't worry be happy.

[Legend General] gallery:
Still now froyo not available for india
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
yup no froyo still :( ..btw gallery how much did Kingston 16 Gb cost you in India?
[Legend General] gallery:
I bought it for Rs 2050 through eBay
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
1500 ... class 4 .... if you know where to look ;)
[Legend General] strophy:
Thanks killban! I did things a bit differently - now that I have flashed the MoDaCo custom ROM, I guess I have to go back to the WWE RUU 2.03.405.3 to get the FOTA, right? Did you have to unroot?

Can you also just confirm that the updates you have received FOTA in China have the htc_cime Chinese handwriting input module?

Cheers mate!
[Legend General] haha123:
12-12 and still no update for taiwan.
[Legend General] zukа:
Why do you guys put up with this stuff? "A few days" turns into a few months, a thousand replies later and the majority of Legend users don't have Froyo. Those that do seem to be having tremendous trouble installing, using wifi, etc.

I'm just gonna vote with my feet and ditch the Legend.
[Legend General] gallery:
Still froyo not available in India
[Legend General] gallery:
We reached 1000 post count for this thread
[Legend General] h4cker:
It's a sign... We gonna have froyo tomorow :)
[Legend General] justcookiesncream:
Lol , just because its a Monday ? 2.2 was release to Europe on a Thursday , Monday no longer holds any special meaning
[Legend General] daltz01:
Just wondering, would the asia update issue be because China has blocked the internets due to the Nobel Peace awards?
[Legend General] karkalanand:
A new Monday.. but no froyo in India
[Legend General] tangoone1:
Same here no froyo
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
As someone told in this thread..All HTC Asia Teams seems to be on holiday till Jan :(...

Serious ? i was hopping froyo on legend could be a good christmas present for me ...
[Legend General] Vin42:
No Froyo for rooted Legend?

Hello,

Althouth having read nearly the whole thread I am still not able to upgrade my Legend. It is unbranded and I have rooted it. Maybe that's the problem: When I check for software updates, I only find update 1.31.405.5 (3.89 MB). But that's already the version I have:

Baseband Version

47.26.35.04U_7.05.35.26L

Kernel Version

2.6.29-9a3026a7

htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build Number

1.31.405.4 CL154058 release-keys

Software Number

1.31.405.4

Nevertheless I tried to install that update but failed: after downloading and rebooting a red question mark appears and if I tap the screen, nothing becomes installed and I can download the update again (have tried that procedure several times).

Do I have to "undo" the rooting in order to receive the OTA update for Froyo? Or is there another way? Thanks in advance.
[Legend General] mohdasifs:
okay guys its monday and no updates are u guys sure its nt only romania or somethin.....really restless for the update.......
[Legend General] justcookiesncream:
It doesn't depend on where you're from , it depends mostly on where your phone is manufactured and whether the place of where your phone has been manufactured is eligible for the update. But the least you should know is that you're not alone and that the whole of Asia has not received the update as well
[Legend General] mohdasifs:
my legend was brought from europe....but write nw in Asia soo....does tht effect....i mean do i hav chances of gettin it or not??????????
[Legend General] justcookiesncream:
You will most probably be able to get Froyo as soon as Asia receives it,so its just a matter of time when Asia is going to receive it
[Legend General] Fahar Salleh:
No froyo update yet in Malaysia.
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
We are at the mercy of HTC Asia. They seem to have forgotten to update Legend update to their servers. :(
[Legend General] haha123:
Nothing for Taiwan/asia
[Legend General] N3o21:
Today, my Legend updated to firmware 2.05.405.2, but no FroYo yet...

Finally... Later this day, my legend obtained new update to 3.15.405.3... Finally FroYo

Included News:

More animations in menu. Animations in HTC Sense are faster

There is "New" google search, with voice support

Wi-Fi hotspod app is new too

New feature - Apps Sharing

New function - Light... Simply allows to light with Legend's LED next to camera

Apps can be moved on SD card (FroYo default feature, I think)
[Legend General] gallery:
Still now no update in India
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
Which country ?
[Legend General] N3o21:
Czech Republic (Central European), as in profile.

Unbranded Legend, bought from HTC Brand shop.
[Legend General] vjkabraham:
Froyo update available for Asian users. I am downloading at the moment in India.

Cheers!
[Legend General] arvidh:
Yup! Downloading right now. In India! :)
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
...Froyo also available in Indonesia/Bali on unbranded Legend from Singapore. At last! :rolleyes:
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
Cheers..I think now as Froyo is released worldwide..Mods can close this thread on a happy note!!! :)

The froyo update ( india) is not working for me ... com.android.phone keeps force closing !
[Legend General] podaskie:
Finally the wait is over, froyo update now in india(chennai)...downloading now:D
[Legend General] bullchicken:
running it on mine now and quite impressed. Love the new gmail but looks like I will have to reinstall swype
[Legend General] Tanayar:
When that happend to me, I did a factory reset... I hope you manage to find a better solution!
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
Nope only a factory reset worked .. I did remove the SD card brie the reset thought. Froyo works like a charm now. Very smooth :)
[Legend General] zorrosun:
So ananth,

How should I exactly prcoeed with the Froyo update..

I am getting OTA notification here in Chennai..

Should I do a factory reset before downloading the update..?

Should I remove the SD while froyo is getting installed../:confused:

I am actually a NOOB...:p
[Legend General] vjkabraham:
Just back up your data and download. You don't need to factory reset our phone nor take out the SD card!
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
Just uninstall any task manager apps you might have, and download and update . It should work alright. If it is not then remove your SD card and factory reset. Doing so you will lose your contacts , apps , sms but will retain all the memory card data such as photos and videos.
[Legend General] khensthoth:
Froyo is available in Malaysia as well. Downloading now!
[Legend General] dolph2005:
Hi, all.

[Legend General] driftcat:
Thanks HTC.but it was very slow release anyway
[Legend General] versifier:
Got froyo !

updated.

questions -

why isn't "chrome to phone" extension in the market ?

how do i use apps2SD and transfer phone apps to SD carD?
[Legend General] CTEBAH:
Hello, I'm in AU but bought my phone from Hong-Kong (eBay). Froyo installed without any problems and works like a charm so far. It is visibly faster while moving through menus, starting apps, browser scrolling etc.

Apps2SD doesn't work for all apps. An app need to support this feature and then you can do it through app manager. Of some 30 apps on my phone only 7 or 8 actually support this feature, but even so I managed to free up around 15 MB which is great.

I'm not going to sell my Legend as now it has everything I need on a smart phone, but I'm not buying another HTC device. Their customer service "suck more then anything in the history of sucking".
[Legend General] xDrawksalot:
Yes, downloading now, in Singapore! :D
[Legend General] shady220671:
Congratulation to Asian Legend owners.

My software version is 1.27.415.7

I still didn't get the update. The phone was purchased in Kuwait, but I am in Egypt now.

any ideas why this delay?, or it is HTC just ignoring people?
[Legend General] binoy918:
Installed Froyo, so far gr8..

Lovin' it :-)
[Legend General] jinxul:
if you want to update your phone its better you Debrand your phone to Asia or Europe and then you can update to Froyo ..

-----

request :

guys i need RUU update file for Asia !

anybody can upload this for me ?
[Legend General] Fahar Salleh:
Froyo in Malaysia. :-D
[Legend General] karkalanand:
Hey, I'm from India, but did not get notified about the update.. when I check manually it just shows Checking... and the busy icon rotates for hours nothing else happens.. tried it a hundred times..

I bought it in India, white market (mean not grey market)

Never tried rooting..

But I'm in roaming mode (does that affect?)

Have checked use internet on roaming..
[Legend General] migz23:
hi,

did the update this morning 5:30 in Germany - so far so good.

ap2sd works

google maps pinch to zoom works

its fast

I'm happy! ;)
[Legend General] h4cker:
I got my froyo update today in France.

I had to unroot my phone first
[Legend General] shady220671:
Does this mean that there will be no update for this software number?

should I wait for HTC to release it or I proceed with debranding?
[Legend General] jinxul:
No its not

i think HTC realease froyo for your brand ..

i say if you want to update NOW you can debrand your phone to Asia or Europe

you can Choose .. wait for update or Debrand and get Update .
[Legend General] gyroing:
Froyo asian updateds doesn't include rtl. I suggest you wait when egypt vodafone realese arabic froyo for legend.
[Legend General] shady220671:
Thank you jinxul for your support.

Thanks gyroing, I think you missed the part where I said that I bought it from Kuwait

It is unlocked Legend with software number 1.27.415.7

But I may be you are right about RTL thing.
[Legend General] dannleong:
Got mine in Malaysia.

Android version: 2.2

Software number: 3.15.707.3
[Legend General] bullchicken:
Just did a benchmark and got 828 on first try with a text message popup in the middle of the 3d test :)
[Legend General] versifier:
how do you make the apps2sd work ?
[Legend General] savmore:
Hi, same problem here.

I am travelling in some really remote areas in india.

When i check for the update it never returns a result, just shows me the spinning "checking" symbol.

Maybe its something to do with roaming.

I will check once again when i get some wifi access.

Till then just happy to know froyo has been realeased.
[Legend General] gallery:
Check ur software version number

Normally Indian legends have software version as 2.05.720.1

Or better try with good connectivity like WLAN

Normally Indian edge networks are very poor
[Legend General] peter_ng:
HTC asia already release the 2.2 on 15/dec/2010
[Legend General] akoepke:
There are still some Legend users out there without Froyo.

The ones sold by Vodafone in Australia have software version 2.02.178.3.

Hopefully our update will be released in the next couple of days.
[Legend General] rku615:
Yes it does! :D
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
I had the same problem in Indonesia. After successful download and install of the update, the UI was loading...loading...loading and finally crashing with the above error message all the time. Half a dozen reboots and battery pull didn't help.

I then found out, that when I press the Search Button during 'loading...', he just went into an empty homescreen (actually all 7 screens were empty). From the 3 onscreen buttons (apps/dialer/add) only dialer worked.

In the dialer I put in the code for factory reset *#*# 2767 #*#* (before taking the memory card out, just in case) and the phone reset itself to a virgin Froyo installation, which seems to be fine and stable so far.

Better than having it bricked.....just needed to reinstall all the apps from my last Astro backup and configure everything again. ;-)
[Legend General] dannsf:
Good news: HK/Macau firmwares can get the update now!! :D DL'ing as I type :D
[Legend General] prabhu_mohan:
Thank you HTC for Froyo - India

THnk you HTC for releasing froyo for India/Asia.

Even thou it got few bugs, but am happy that you guys worked hard for fixing few early bugs. Happy Holidays
[Legend General] zoil:
Australia still didnt get the update. Have an unbranded Legend, whose network operator is Vodafone AU. Any chance of us ever getting Froyo....
[Legend General] randy_khoo:
think you should consider rooting.

I've unrooted to try the original htc sense rom - and all i can says is...

IT"S NOTHING LIKE THE CUSTOM SENSE ROMS here...

It's slow and possibly buggy...
[Legend General] adrian.gab:
just updated to froyo via the official OTA update.

pretty much all went smoothly except one reboot when coming back into the OS, two apps popped up with the message to wait or force close. i waited for the first one and closed the second, they were both different process names but i cant remember exactly the details.

it changed my tones for a number of things like calls, reminders, sms and emails but that's no biggy.

apart from the above all good so far. i've noticed it is much snappier than 2.1.

it automatically downloaded the new version of google maps with the vector graphics and 3d building. way cool, check out new york city for a demo. the vector maps draw way better and quicker.

the new market also kicked into place which looks a little slicker too but not much in the way of increased functionality.

im over the moon that i can and have installed the most recent update for gmail from the market, the old one sucked in comparison.

move apps to SD card option in froyo is an absolute lifesaver!
[Legend General] adrian.gab:
whilst you might have an "unbranded" legend with no vodafone logos or software, it is still from vodafone and such you will need to wait for vodafone to authorise and push through the update.

i have a real unbranded and network free legend, that i bought free of any telco. im in australia and i installed the official HTC over the air update to froyo yesterday.

it's such a good and long overdue upgrade.
[Legend General] crooked-i:
Most aus legends are vodafone branded... I've got one myself and i updated via the RUU ... you should consider doing that..
[Legend General] zoil:
Can you elaborate on how this is done.

I also don't understand what Over the Air update is and if I can do that.
[Legend General] karkalanand:
Got Wi-Fi network in Mayur Lunch Home, Pune (Roaming Network)...

Download Succeeded..

Installation Succeeded..

I Think the problem was just EDGE on Roaming...

Enjoying FROYO now...

The first thing that i will be doing now after waking up every morning is brushing my teeth...
[Legend General] adrian.gab:
for my poor pro that is stuck with a vodafone oz legend, can you elaborate on the RUU?
[Legend General] ajarnjohn:
Froyo Update Here.

Message appeared on my Legend last Friday for update. All updated fine and working well though with added bells and whistles it is using more battery power. Oh, I am in thailand.
[Legend General] prabhu_mohan:
Slow!

If u find ur mobile is too slow after update, just take backup of the data,s n then do factory rest once, this will fix the issue. am happy with my legend n n like to say, I am Legend! :)
[Legend General] shnoder:
i have the same problem!...bought from vodafone egypt unbranded version 1.27!
[Legend General] akoepke:
Well HTC and Vodafone have finally got their butts into gear and released Froyo for the Legend in Australia. It is not available OTA yet but is available on the HTC AU website.
[Legend General] zukа:
Too late from Vodafone. Got sick of waiting and sold the Legend.
[Legend General] spaztiq:
Still waiting for Bell Canada to release it... I heard mid January, so hopefully in the next few days.
[Legend General] tigerbauch:
Is this kindergarten? Just be patient, vodafone paid a lot for this exclusive contract.
[Legend General] karkalanand:
Kindergarden.. ;-P

Hey I don't need the Froyo update, I'm enjoying the 'daily dose of humour' in this thread..
[Legend General] raf2k:
Hehe indeed :p

Btw. Ive got Froyo today.

http://www.mypicx.com/11232010/HTC_Legend_Froyo_update/
[Legend General] iHans:
But Legend isn't Vodafone exclusive. If I would have known that only Vodafone customers get updates then I would have never bought Legend.
[Legend General] asyyy:
im not sure why you quoted his kindergarten, but it is kindergarten, right?
[Legend General] fac51:
Made me chuckle! :)
[Legend General] neverg:
It's Kindergarten, yes.

Froyo will come, just a mater of patience.
[Legend General] brad2332:
That was pretty clever, lol...
[Legend General] netdias:
Italian HTC Facebook

How do you know vodafone has paid for exclusivity ?

In the Italian HTC Facebook they said 2 weeks ago

"The upgrade is progressing quite well and in the coming weeks, all untagged Legend operator should receive the update.

For those of you who have a HTC Legend with operator, the wait will be slightly longer. Once finalized the update to the Legend without the marks, the software should be subject to approval by individual operators. It is a process normally used for each of our device and Legend can not make exceptions. Once approved, you will receive an update of your software. The time required for this process can vary, but our staff will make every effort to complete the update and work with individual operators to achieve approval. "

This makes sense, but it was not followed. That is why I, has a consumer, am feeling defrauded.:mad:

Not to mention that I have paid extra 200€ to buy an unbranded phone, so I would not depend on the phone company policies... instead I got to depend on the HTC policies :(
[Legend General] tigerbauch:
I know how business works. Money rules the world.

Do you really believe in that funny facebook and twitter comments (or news)?

It's very simple; Vodafon paid HTC for a two week exclusivity.

Think about it before you ask WHY?

It's just the way it is.

lol, you really paid 200€ for an unbranded device? Sorry, I don't believe that.
[Legend General] netdias:
So that is just your opinion about it. There is no evidence of that.

I don't know how it is in your country, but here, the unbranded phones are more expensive, because in the branded, you make a contract to stay for 1 or 2 years with that mobile company..
[Legend General] mcuppens:
Or even better:

I have a 2 year contract, to have my phone at a reduced price, but the phone itself is the unbranded version...
[Legend General] justcookiesncream:
If a candy costs $20 and you sign it on a 2 year contract thats $1/month how is it necessarily cheaper? The same logic applies to your phone , it's only the upfront that you're paying thats cheaper i believe
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
True but for that dollar a month you also get minutes, data, sms etc . Except for being locked down to a carrier , it is cheaper.
[Legend General] taleboblen:
No news from Denmark
[Legend General] Chaotick:
No news or update in Poland.... These few days are very long :).
[Legend General] tigerbauch:
there are just unbranded phones here in switzerland. up in germany, the branded legends from vodafone where 50 to 100€ off the normal price. 200€, that's unbelievable.....

Have you another idea for the later froyo release for unbranded legends than me? tell me please
[Legend General] lessirey:
I finally gave up and flashed Modaco stock froyo rom (based on vodafone froyo)

I been very patient all through but the recent htc update circus and lies totally got me fed up.

so just went ahead and downgraded -> rooted -> flashed modaco rom
[Legend General] iodine:
After you installed Paul's unbranded Froyo 2.2 from the Vodaphone image, is there anyway to downgrade once the official unbranded 2.2. release is avail?

-- i0
[Legend General] lessirey:
i took a nandroid backup from clockworkmod recovery before i flashed paul's rom. So hopefully thats possible ?
[Legend General] qzem:
Come on guys what do you think you can expect from unbranded Froyo? The only thing that is gonna be different is there will be no vodafone crap in it. But whitetigerdk, has already removed everything so you can flash his rom and stop whining about this one. I can see what is going to happen when unbranded froyo will be out, somebody will start a thread "Whene is Legend getting Android 2.3??!" And you all could complained about it for another six months:P.
