T-Mobile G2 Touch ROM & Android UPDATE - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please, can anyone tell me how to update ROM on my G2 Touch, and how to update Android OS? I sent e-mail to HTC, and they told me I must ask T-Mobile for updates. T-mobile told they don't know anything about updates...
So, please, if you know, explain how can I update ROM & Android OS. I donwloaded ROM update from HTC official site, but that ROM doesn't work on G2 Touch. Please help! Thanks very much!

Check first of all what version of ROM you already have installed.
Menu > Settings > About Phone > Build Number. (2.73.110.26 Latest)
If you require an update then you can go to the HTC website, enter your S/N and if there is an update available you can download the ROM and update it. Just double click the file and follow the instructions on screen.

Then your using a ROM that isn't supported, you will need to do it via the goldcard method.

Excellent news!!! Will keep an eye out in April. I have debranded it now using the Goldcard Method but let's see if the debranded version will release the new firmware too!

If you have a T-Mobile G2 you can't install any updates from HTC.
You have a phone supported by T-Mobile (bad luck, me too) and so you have to wait for T-Mobile to release their own version. Sadly 2.1 will be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 Months after HTC release their Official 2.1 Update.
Check the T-Mobile forums for all the news on Updates and the Twitter site!

You don't *have* to wait - you can always install a generic ROM if you wish.

Sorry to burst a bubble, however I am a new T-Mobile customer and I have flashed the phones ROM to generic HTC ROM. Aslong as someone releases the ROM online it can be flashed.

DO you suggest any ROM versions for Indian HD2
Hi I have indian HD2 and i'm planing to upgrade my ROM
I have ROM 1.48.720.2 nd Radio version 2.05.51.05_2
Since all of you guys over here have some experience in Flashing your HD2 please suggest me some ROM versions to Flash because when i see this forum i find lots of options and i'm really confused in selecting the ROM.
Thanks
Best bet...
1) HSPL it
2) Change the Radio (go for radio which has .50 to enable 576 RAM)
3) Download custom ROM from here and flash via USB

You dont have to worry about flashing. All experienced here starts as inexperienced
Make sure you understand the process and the risk

Quick question on update?

hey I recently just bought a new htc hero rooted on v1.6
Since 1.6 is kinda out of date now so I was planning to update the software via the official site to 2.1 as I dont have the technical experience to flash a rom myself.
But my question is can update via the official installer thingy? or if my phone if rooted do i HAVE to use the rom flashing method?
I just needed to know just in case i completely mess up the phone
Thx.

HTC hasn't released the 2.1 update for the Hero yet,... We hope to get it by the start of next month.
There are however, ports of the leaked CDMA 2.1 update available to try out in the development section.
Once the update has been officially released, I would suggest waiting for a rooted version to be posted here on XDA rather than installing it from HTC themselves as the official update may close access to root in future.
and fwiw: you are on android1.5, not 1.6.

[Q] Why is my Mozart not getting the latest HTC updtae

Hi, My Mozart does not seem to be getting a response from HTC to tell me that the latest Firmware is available. I have connected it to Zune several times and I even have the leaked 7720 ROM installed and if I'm right this should have triggered the update process. Could anyone shed some light on this or have I missed something and I need to actually do something to install this update myself. I have listed below my phone details as they are now.
Network: Orange UK
Model: HTC 7 Mozart T8698
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware: 2250.09.13001.401
Hardware: 0004
Radio Software: 5.54.09.21-22.33b.50.10U
Radio Hardware: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader: 1.30.2250.1(117833)
Chip SOC: 2.2.5.0
Any help would be gratefully accepted.

you flashed the device with unofficial rom so there is no more support from zune for your phone.

Where did you get that info?
Zune continues to update the devices when you flash a leaked ROM, because a leaked ROM does not mean a unofficial one.
He asks for the HTC firmware update (not the OS upgrade) but i believe that update is to some phone carriers, since the no carrier devices won't seem to get the firmware update. Maybe this has something to do with HTC and they bad support...
I have an HTC 7 Mozart from T-Mobile DE and i receive the update. But with an unlocked and unbranded Mozart i never got the firmware upgrade...
Hi, thanks for the response. I have since tried going back to stock but this didn't update the firmware only software. I have also tried going back to unbranded but again still no update. I'm baffled by this, any ideas.

any kind of error message?connection error,etc? nothing?
Hi, I can connect with Zune and it syncs ok but even looking in the settings for an update all it says is that my phone is up to date. I'm running out of things to try. Think I will go back to stock again and leave it for a while this time as this did give me a later bootloader version, as in 1.33 and not 1.30 as is the Ansar rom im using. Also no errors at all, just doesn't seem to be found by HTC at all.
Just to keep people informed.
I flashed back to the stock Orange UK ROM.
This updated everything to 7392 and also to the latest firmware.
I then decided to try flashing back to the unbranded Ansar ROM.
This took me to 7392 but had actually dropped me back down to my original firmware. So I am now on the road to flashing Mango again but with my original firmware.
But surely if I am only updating the OS my firmware should have stayed the same or are things done differently in WP7
Got it all sorted.
Flashed the stock Rom, updated to Mango Beta then to Mango RTM and now have Mango with latest firmware.

Hi, yes it was the stock Orange UK Rom I flashed. I believe you are correct in saying that it is only Orange and T-Mobile that are getting the updates as I was running the unbranbded Ansar Rom but no update ever came through.

current uk firmware version?

I have an unlocked, SG2 on O2 contract from phones4U.
my phone says that I have Android version 2.3.3 installed.
(I searched for updates the day I got the phone, last thursday and installed the update it found, this took me up to 2.3.3 from 2.2.2 I think.)
When I look now, there are no updates available.
I see some people have 2.3.4 or even 2.3.5? why is that?
What is the latest version available for UK unlocked SG2s?
thanks.
If you read the forums you will see the solution .
One you get an update when O2 update or phones 4u .
Two alternatives are unofficial updates that may break your warranty .
jje
Like JJe said i agree with him.
Now if you are into rooting and want to try the latest firmware that comes with the roms go for it..
But you will lose your warranty and do your research first before you go ahead and root your phone....there is always way round unrooting and keeping your warranty but if you dont mind and you know what your doing go ahead and root and enjoy the goodies in custom roms..
im using VR 3.0 and before that batista rom and they are good as gold..
if you need any help just give me a shout
Thanks for the replies guys, but what I'm asking is which firmware version should I have, is 2.3.3 the most recent available in the UK without rooting and installing a custom rom etc.
If so, I will wait for an update from O2.
cheers.

Without asking each provider what is your latest firmware its impossible to tell .
The providers roms post in dev section may give a better clue .
Probable any upgrades in the pipeline will be replaced by the new 2.3.5 .
jje
if you stay on official carrier firmware through kies, you'll always have the most uptodate version for your carrier. it will be months behind what'ss available through unofficial methods

Custom Version DT.NLD 8.0.0.303(CT.F01)

Hi all, just now I got a system update to Custom Version DT.NLD 8.0.0.303(CT.F01).
It showed up in settings-system update and showed this version with an T-Mobile picture, no details in text. Im still on Oreo 360 but now I have the custom version with it as well. Can someone tell me what it is?
Only difference after installing was a TakeAway app was installed and there is a app called Provisioning Message in the Tools folder.
Thnx in advance,
not sure but might be a custom version of the firmware provided by a local carrier.
if your phone is owned by a carrier, they might build these and provide these as updates.
Thnx for your answer, I think it is to but I wanna know what is in the update :laugh:
This is what is said about the update
