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.
Hello all,
Apologies is this has come up in the forums before but I hve looked through and couldn't find an answer.
Basically I bought a used G2 from ebay that was locked (& branded) to T-Mobile. I had it rooted/unlocked and now am on a Vodafone 30 day contract. It is currently running android 1.5.
I have not been prompted by the OTA update. I am unsure whether I use Vodafone or T-Mobile software for the update, or whether there is maybe a generic HTC version available? I want to make sure that the phone is left open to work on Vodafone after the updgrade also.
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated,
Thank you very much in advance!!
Keith
If you're going to stick with the official releases just flash the WWE version (which you should be able to find a link on here somewhere). Bear in mind that this will permanently lock you into v2.1 official releases as there is no known method to gain root on 2.1 as of yet and custom rom's will be out of the question.
The Vodafone and T-Mobile versions of the software mainly contain advertisement rather than actual changes.
duno if it helps but i was gettin pissed waiting for the t-mobile ota update, so i created a gold card using the method in another section, downgraded to the generic rom then run both ota updates when my phone promted me (setting my date 1 year ahead) i did not like the 2.1 as it was running peep and teh rest that i never use, i just reflashed it with the generic 1.5 rom i used originaly, installed flashrec and a recovery image, and is now running, happly, vallian 12. i was originaly on the latest t-mobile firmware.
duno if that helps? or was it a cooked version of 2.1 it downloaded via the ota system?
i is still happly rooted.
I know official 2.2 is about to be released next month from AT&T but i was reading on other forums that AT&T put an OTA update pushing 2.1 out a while back. I know they also canceled the update since Dell was working on 2.2 release. I can't seem to find any 2.1 AT&T update packages, all links seem to be broken everything. I don't want to go to 2.2 yet because it seems like it does have issues, but I wouldn't mind installing 2.1 on my while streak for now. Does anyone have that update package for AT&T that I could download and use for now? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
AT&T never had a 2.1 Update. To have that on a US Streak, you would have to download build 4399 for overseas version, then update to build 8105(2.1) again, for overseas version. You can look for guide to updating and downgrading either in General or Development section of Dell Streak forums.
I bought a HTC HD2 in Taiwan and brought it back to the US. Trying to updating an official rom (android 2.2 later) to switch it to English.
The official site and some other people said to :::
Note: This update is not intended for use on T-Mobile(US) HTC HD2, and doing so may have undesired side effects.
what does this mean and can i download a european ROM for switch languages and update my phone????
Also can i get a link to a download. thanks

Start reading this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
and also read this one for US T-mobile: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696098
It will keep you on the right track.

Also, just a quick mention, the official ROM wont be Android as the HD2 is a WinMo 6.5 device... So dont get your hopes up anyhow.
Pop into the HD2 Android NAND forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928) if you want an english Android ROM on the device, or you can start off by installing one onto your SD card
I'm considering getting one of these for my daughter from UK Tesco.com. I understand that the international version Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 was originally released with Froyo 2.2., so even buying a new one now does it come out of the box with froyo installed? Also was it ever officially updated to Gingerbread 2.3.X either OTA or by Kies or are there only custom gingerbread roms available?
Thanks

i got mine from amazon with GB which was officially updated by Samsung. if yours comes with froyo, then just do an ota update
I bought my Galaxy s wifi 5.0 from Amazon and it came with 2.2 and there was no update to 2.3. I had to flash a ROM to get 2.3 and then 4.0.4. If you buy the US variant it come pre loaded with 2.3.
The lastest firmware of the intl player 5.0 is XXLPL ( France )
Product Code: YP-G70CWXEF
Latest firmware: G70XXKPL/G70XXKPL/G70XXKPL/G70XXKPL

You can use Check Fus Downloader to download this firnware
in my optinion , this firmware + rj's kernel v14 make the device work like a charm , super smooth , better than any custom rom i've been used before :good:
Really? Mine lags like a sucker! I'm looking for a stock kernel to see if it works any better!
Gingerbread was released everywhere except the UK. However people from other european countries have given us the gingerbread stock rom, so you can get gingerbread easily.
Mine is loaded with 2.2 Froyo, but I managed to upgrade it to Gingerbread. You can always flash another ROM if you're not satisfied with your stock/current rom.
