http://blog.sony.com/icsforsonytablets
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?

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 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.

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.
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
as the title says... htc amaze on wind mobile in canada, the updater in the menu's is offering me this this afternoon its about a 20.3 meg download i think.
Anyone else seeing this?

Nobody tried it?
wasn't gonna try it till i get home from work.
so far one person on howardforums.com in the windmobile section has loaded it, he thinks some icons changed colours to notify of sms but isnt sure.
Just got the 1.43.531.3 few days ago... hope this one you are talking about is better
Maybe it just fixes the roaming issue some Wind users are reporting, where everything was considered "not roaming"?
Anyone live near the border of Wind's coverage that would like to check?
anyone know how the update method with HTC works?
if i download it via that updater can i not install it right away and grab the file onto my desktop?
or do i have to do something sneaky like set-up wireshark on my desktop and connect the phone wirelessly to desktop and sniff the packets to get the url of the download to get it separately to see what's in it before installing it..

so just digging through here, there appears to be some sound recorder updates, a battery logger (smith.apk) some other qualcom logger of some sort ( QXDM2SD.apk )
updates to phone.odex, htcsoundrecord.odex, htclaputa.apk htcmessageuploader, protips, stk.apk, tag.apk...
and the main part of it is a zip file for firmware.zip, not sure if those have changes to them or if they are the same as the last ones, someone with more brains on this would be able to tell.

Hi, I also just saw this notice today of the update. I have unlocked my bootloader and I have rooted. No custom ROM on yet.
Can anyone confirm if this situation is OK or will the update remove my unlocked bootloader and UN root my phone?
Don't suppose this would change phone from S=on to S=off?
Many thanks

If you applied the update you will lose root and it will not effect your s-on/s-off state or lock/unlock your bootloader.
You will need stock recovery to flash the OTA.

That's actually your build number, which is fine. You need to look at your system version. It should be something like 6.11.744.XT910 or something along those lines.
Check that and report back.
the version is 651.73.19.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU

you don't have an update yet.
The recent update for the XT910 was only for the 651.73.15, .16, .17, .18 versions.
It looks like Bulgaria is not on the list, and it might be because of the language on the phone.
The update was recent, December 31st, so you may see it being sent OTA soon, but for now, it looks like you're up to date.
Thanks.So for now I cant put any roms ?
Hi, Just received my new Razr today in U.K. Had OTA update to 651.73.30.en.eu. All downloaded fine.

No, you should be able to still put ROM's on there.
Just to make sure, you're rooted, right??
I believe there are no fastboot files yet for the .19 version, at least that's what I was reading, so instead of just straight loading a ROM on top of this, I would go the safestrap route. This will allow you to load a secondary ROM and access both.
My understanding is while the .18 & .19 versions are different, they're not so different it will block you from loading a ROM.
It should be the same process as ever, root, safestrap, then enable safestrap mode, and flash the ROM.
If you get an error, report back and let me know what it is, and I MIGHT be able to help you through it.

You don't really need the Sanixupdate just get Superuser and Busybox from the store and install them. Not sure why it isn't working for you the way you are doing it. I assume you are flashing the ROM before you put the Sanixupdate file on the internal SD.

If you do flash you will no longer have a Springboard you will have a MediaPad. This is not a bad thing but it will void your warranty.

Like mentioned by RKWhyte2 it will no longer say Springboard. It will say Huawei Mediapad. It will void the warranty but...
1. No more T-Mobile chimes at start-up. Actually the boot up is way faster now.
2. Hi Suite won't work unless you go hunting for the workaround around here. I've used it once or twice so not a deal-killer for me.
3. You will now be able to send (and receive) text messages (we pay for the privilege, we might as well be able to use it). And the message comes from the number that T-Mobile gave you.
4. TMobile crapware is gone (as long as you have your settings set to back up your apps to google servers, once rooted you will be able to easily retrieve 99% of your apps.)
5. You can delete the sample pictures and videos from the tablet and NEVER. SEE. THEM. AGAIN.
I am enjoying my tablet now more than before. So I guess tonight I will upgrade it to the latest ICS.
already flashed to ICS, now charging it then calibrate the battery

signal works good (depends on your cellular network)

Why don't you just update to the latest version. I find it to be quite stable and haven't found anything bad.
Is this a different ROM to the SP3 one?
Is the touchscreen shaking still?
This official one is the best I have tried so far. No lag in the menus, everything is siilky smooth. Stock browser performance surpasses the beta versions by far and HDMI works correctly with no jagged edges. A job well done I think.
Working HDMI?
You mean landscape mode applications no longer get dithered?
Can you try fpse, the PlayStation emulator on it?
Which ROM do you mean?
