Hopefully Gingerbread will come in these days for EU customers like me.
The OTA will hopefully bring a new radio that is suitable for (non 4G) Atrix in Europe using Gingerbread. Therefore, I am very interested in getting it.
Unfortunately, there are too many horror stories about bricked devices because of official GB upgrade.
My question is: when my phone will alert me that the OTA is available, how can I "sniff" the download of the update? So I could upload it somewhere and kindly ask developers to create a fruit cake from it!
a little bump to add this: may I be able to see the url by looking at the logcat, maybe? somebody knows if it will work?
download it and choose to install later, then you can pull the file from your phone, cant remember where it goes but should be easy enough to find, might need root explorer as i doubt it goes to your sdcard.
Or just wait for daywalker04 to upload the sbf then you can just extract the relevant imgs from that.
Also sceptical about doing the update but i saw on moto europe they said there were touchscreen improvements so maybe theres an update to the pds partition which removes multitouch bug, that would be awesome!

Thanks, I will send daywalker04 a PM so I can help. Additionally to what you report, I am waiting for the provided radio, that should be designed for GB and European users. With a proper GB radio we will be free to install whatever ROM we decide and (hopefully) have less signal/battery/wifi issues

The OTA comes with the already seen N_01.100.00R. The main difference is that this radio works very well with Euro-Gingerbread. No battery drains, good 3G and WiFi connectivity, excellent GPS signal

I figured a lot of people want this instead of a nandroid backup so here you go. You're all welcome. Be aware that you will need to upload the fixed build.prop (recommended for US users) and change the boot animation (optional). Unpack the zip file and use stock recovery to flash this update.
My OEM version is GAUSB1A120521-US
Password is streakthis

Can this be used on an O2-UK Dell Streak?
If so can we n00b's have a little guide?
Im desperate to get official 2.1, thanks!
Yup, it's from O2 as you can see in the screenshot.
as simple as dropping it on the sd card then?
No special build.prop adjustments? (<--the scary part for me)
Yup, absolutely. You don't have to edit the build.prop since you have O2 anyway. It's only for US users so it will reflect the US paid apps.

Not really, could just root with Universal Androot after flashing it?
I'm waiting for someone else to confirm this is legit though
Universal root works. I've had this update running for a week now.
Wow, really?
Is it worth flashing over the previous 2.1 rom?
I took the leap for everyone and it does indeed install. I have only had it running for a few minutes but it does seem a little faster than the beta. Hard to believe this is the official as there is still no way to use the front facing camera in the camera app unless i am missing something.
What else do you guys want me to check out?
Let me know I'll try it
I currently have the 6941 build. I have the At&t US version streak. If I update to this will this cause me any issues? I'm also rooted.
Mine's rooted and the front camera still can't be used unless i open fring or qik.

Which is why I question if this is the official update. Any reason for you to think it is? Or just guessing?
Any thing else that doesn't work from 1.6 to indicate it may not be official? I only used 1.6 for about 5 minutes so it is hard for me to compare.
its official from 02
Check the screenshot. It's official from O2. How many times do i need to repeat that? I got the notification as well.

There were others at Modaco that got update notifications for the 7546 package but that didn't make it official. I am just asking how you are confirming this is official or what about the about screen makes it official.
And I like I said I upgrade to it and it for sure is an update and seems to be running fine.
On the leaked update there is no trace of any brand support whatsoever. This one had a link to the O2 support site. I had to confirm it from an O2 rep. Yup, it's legit. Funny how they still didn't fix the front facing camera. In 2.2 perhaps? By the way, don't look at my about screen.. I'm talking about the screenshot on my first post.
It says it´s a leak, everything works except phone but don´t hink it´ll take long to patch up.

yep thats mine, just sorting out issues with radio now
hope you can sort out the issues soon. Thanks for giving us Froyo. can´t wait to get it on my streak.When you release it will it be a full working version or the one that is shown at mydellmini?
the one shown at mydellmini IS mine, only difference is im running a newer baseband
yeah, i knew it´s yours but are you going to make an official release yourself and will that one include phone and data? just to see if i wait a little more or go ahead and flash the one thats up roght now
well im working on sorting out how to flash baseband at min

I'm going to generalize, so this concepts aren't always 100% true but the majority of times they'll be correct. Generally, from HTC they release two types of OTA updates. 1) Only minor software updates. 2) Update both the kernel, android system, custom recovery, radio (sometimes bootloader and pri).
When the OTA updates are of the 1st situation, they are very minor and usually don't have *significant* impact on any part of the device. Essentially only patch bugs or glitches in HTC's bundled Sense/3rd party apps.
When the 2nd situation for OTA occurs, these updates are usually larger and more important. The impact on the device can be much larger as both the kernel and the system are being updated together.
In the 2nd situation, most of the time you'll want to make sure the kernel being loaded matches the version of system software being loaded. Sometimes they are backward/inter compatiable and sometimes they are not. Best practice is to keep the kernel/system software in sync.
In addition, for the 2nd situation, if a new kernel is released, HTC has *roughly* 30 days (not a hard number) to release the source code for the updated kernel. Until the kernel source is released, it will be very hard for developers to release customized versions of the new kernel.
Hope that helps!
joey,
thanks you've helped me so much going back to my Moment days. so to sum it all up, if I want a Rom with the updated 217, ,i need to go through the process of updating then unlock again or whatever?
thank you
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
what do you suggest I do? and do you have a and what are the steps/or a link to properly update to 217?
again thanks for being cool and not rude...as always

Nothing in Europe!! How instal US firmware??
Great!
I'm looking forward to have here a tutorial on how to upgrade from other countries and without losing root )
Thanks guys!
nothing yet for Canada
I'm currently changing my region with Condi's tool. Here's hoping that works to download and crack the update...hrm..
edit: It's now telling me the update is to 3.2
Seems odd. Thinking maybe I should wait until Condi or someone can confirm that this will work alright...

Its correct behaviour. Thats because of sony.ro.build.incremental lowest valu ('1'). You can update (downgrade) to 3.2, then again update to 3.2.1,
and then to 4.03
Or change value to higher to get ICS update.
OR BETTER - wait for me (or other users) and we will give proper,
easy, step by step instructions.
I want to make ICS rom capable to use for every region
br
condi
Thanks for the quick reply Condi!
If that is normal behaviour, I might just carry on, and move through all of the firmwares, keeping them rooted along the way.
Will let you all know how it goes!
If someone can upload US firmware with is tablet.
EDIT : I wait for your tutorial condi ! You have time today?
i have a 16gb 3g italian tablet, if i change the region to us, and upgrade, and the change back the region to italian, will i lose the 3g support?
I'm in India, so I'll let you know if anything shows up over this way.

Nothing for me yet... USA
I see they have added direct access to files on the SD card.
Can anyone convince me of a good reason to wait for a root version? I can't think of anything I really need it for on this, unless someone finds a way to run Sky Go somehow through a hack.
Why cant I access this yet? USA rooted.

Bojanglez, I'm thinking the same as you - the only reason I rooted 3.2 was for the init.d support to run scripts for SD cards. Now that ICS supports that, is there any reason to root?....
Probably, there's always a good reason for it - CPU Master is as good excuse as any!
Anybody know if the Hotspot is disabled in ICS as in Honeycomb?
pretty sick

I can't get the update here in the UK yet anyway, so I will wait and see how it goes here.
If I can get a rooted version as quickly as the official I probably will, but I'm not sure I can resist the temptation just to upgrade if it becomes available before.

Likewise - the temptation to just go for it is great - BUT - we should be aware of the kernel situation (.10) that stopped some users from rooting. Best not to be too hasty, Condi might well present something to keep root. He usually presents something awesome!
Does anyone actually have this yet?
I've seen many people experience the same problem I have and it's that I can't install the Lollipop update at all. Tried this on my brothers Mate 2 and it didn't work as well and his is all stock (No root, nothing)
- Mine is rooted
- Stock recovery, switched back from TWRP
- Unlocked bootloader
Took this off of @GadgetStrutter cause I have the same problem's he's having
1. Extracted B309 to formatted SD card and tried to flash (Software install failed!)
2. Updated my rooted B126 to B148 and tried to flash from SD card again (Software install failed!)
3. Unrooted my B148 and tried to flash from SD card again (Software install failed!)
4. Reformatted SD card and redownloaded B309 and extracted it into root folder, and then trying again after (Software install failed!)
5. Rerooted my phone, but in B148 this time. Tried to restart and flash from SD card.. (Software install failed!)
- Got my phone from Wind Mobile, read threads and apparently made it into the stock B148 rom, (MT2-L03V100R001C00B148)
PLEASE, I'm HELLA impatient when it comes to software updates and I'm sure so is the Huawei community

The thing is, multiple users who have bought the HAM 2 from Wind have converted it to into the stock version and are able to update to Lollipop.
I read a bunch of posts saying you can turn your HAM 2 CC Variant into the Stock HAM 2 by download the stock 4.3 rom, call me a bull****ter but I'm just stating what the HAM community says.

That's incorrect. While you can flash the stock b148 onto the CC/Wind variant, its not a full convert. Lollipop update will always fail. There is currently no way to fully convert or fool Huawei updater to think it is the OEM version.
I assure you, no one has gotten Lollipop onto the CC/Wind variant yet.

A TWRP backup won't work like last time. They changed partition sizes of the boot/system...so when TWRP tries to flash the Lollipop backup it runs out of space and fails.
I doubt that Wind/CC will update it.
Everyone is still hoping someone will come up with a way to flash it. Just gonna take some time.

Is there no available method to increse the size of the boot/system partition? I'm sure there has to be a way but someone isn't and wont look for it. Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you create a partition reserved just for that with an additional size adjustment?

I'm sure there is a way, but the developers here don't have the CC/Wind variant, and can't do any testing.
And they say it is risky thing to do.
Huawei should have been more clear but the Lollipop is ONLY for the US HAM2, MT2-L03. No variants are included, yet. That means Wind and Consumer Cellular will not work using the published methods.
I am not calling anyone a liar. If someone with a variant has been able to update to Lollipop then they really need to create a thread and post how they did it.
Perhaps this?

You could try flashing stock recovery, but I believe the update works without it.
Your final option is to do the OEM conversion just to make sure its fully OEM.

No disrespect, but your information is either oudated or absolutely wrong about not being able to convert the wind mobile variant. I just did it today following the guide with what other wind owners said and am running b322 now. I'm only writing this because your posts made me stay away from upgrading for a LONG time. If you don't mind annotating what you said, it would really help others.
So, follow the guide. If when you flash twrp it doesn't work seem to work, simply boot it instead then flash the oem zip and then you can flash oem 4.3. After that, following the guide you should have no issues going straight to b322. Don't do any updates through android itself, power off and use the three button method. It's not hard but it did take me close to an hour if not more.

You do see that this is a thread from July. A lot has happened since then. It might be outdated now but was most likely correct at the time it was posted.
Thank you for encouraging others to try the conversion\upgrade, though.
Yep, I know it's from July, but so is the conversion guide hence why it can be confusing, especially coming from a senior member. In any case, I hope this helps Wind users. I really like the new android and I can't say I've noticed any software bugs yet, it's running great!
