T-Mobile G2 (Official Firmware) - Hero, G2 Touch Android Development

I wasnt to put the HTC official update on my T-Mobile branded device, is this possible by just double clicking the exe and following instructions?
If I do this can I later load the T-Mobile update on if I have problems?
Thanks

i dont think it will work. if you want to keep it official, wait for the t-mobile update....due very soon so i hear!
oh, and this should be posted in Q&A...not DEV!

Thanks. I'll wait for the official T-Mobile ROM I suppose and if I'm still not happy (likely thing) I'll have to look into getting the official one on there.
If a mod could move this it would be good

OTA update Question

Hi there
I just recently signed a contract with orange for the Desire.
Last Night I got rid of there crappy firmware and installed the stock Bravo firmware.
My question is, if an over the air update is released for froyo 2.2 what will happen? Will my phone download the Orange firmware 2.2, Bravo 2.2?
Or will it not work now and i will have to manually update using a downloaded firmware.
Thanks
Dion.
is it really an issue for you ??

Well yeah of course it is. I dont want to download the update over the air if its going to be Orange firmware. But if it uses HTC Generic Firmware then I will download over the air.
What happened to the help in this forum?
if you flashed a generic non branded rom ill guess you get a generic non branded froyo

ignore the noobs here they just have to learn
I am also interested in this aspect. If anyone has more experience with previous phones and OTA please share your experience.
thanks alot for replying. I guess i'll have to wait till froyo is out and someone does an upgrade.
Cheers

Possible root for official 2.1... (Confirmed not Working)

EDIT: It doesn't work, let's move on.
Just saw this now, apparently it works for all HTC 2.1 devices using the 'fake ota' method.
I will rewrite the guide here once someone has confirmed it works.
I can not and will not test this as I wasn't stupid enough to flash the official 2.1 RUU.

Once you get to clockwork mod recovery you should be able to flash a custom rom!

Reports on the guide website suggest that this will NOT work for HTC Hero users or in fact any phone which did not originally ship with v2.1 of Android.
I'd love someone to prove this wrong so keep trying but don't get your hopes up.

did you try this way too ? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
I just wan't to make it more clear to my self. If I understood you ppl right, there is no possible way to root official GSM 2.1? Or am I wrong?
And does anyone know, how fast we will get rooted GMS EU 2.1 after it is released? Fast thing to do?
Also first part of OTA (YouTube update), i hope it didn't take ability to root from me?

There is no known way, yet.
There are already rooted GSM custom rom's based upon the 2.1 releases which have happened so far. It takes dev's a few hours from release usually to get them into the public domain.

If you installed the latest ota just downgrade & root.
For rooting the europe 2.1 I aim to be as fast as last time but it depends on when it is released.

Well then IMO you have to add to your guide.
"First, you need to downgrade your ROM to 2.73.xxx.x"
Like: "Also downgrade 2.73.405.93, even if it starts with 2.73...".
Btw: If I would flash Part 2 OTA update, 2.1 andoird, would it be as easy as now, to downgrade?

You can't downgrade once you flash part 2 as the version will change from 2.73.xxx.xx
Yeah I do need to change that, I just couldn't remember it when I was writing it!

HTC One M8 AT&T lollipop direct download

I was I was reading the OTA is coming shortly. Does anyone have the files hosted so they could be downloaded before GA release? I would like to start inspecting. Thanks!

I doubt you'll find it before it's released.
But if you were s off, you could have flashed WWE lolly firmware, and already been running it.
Just a suggestion. AT&T are notoriously slow with their updates.

verizon into international firm s-off already

Hi guyz as my title stated can I flash international firmware on a verizon phone? I already have s-off and supercid so I can update my friends phone? he is still outdated on kitkat and I want to help him

i see so theres no way to update the firmware if theres no official update? also I cant see any thread that has compilation of firmware of their respective courier
Because you're looking at the wrong place.
Verizon, search in verizon thread.
Same goes for Sprint, search in sprint thread

For Verizon, really NO.
But I'm thinking VZN will update soon. It was scheduled for Jan. Which is obviously not the case, but hopfully soon. Sprint is now rolling out.

My warning applies only to Sprint and Verizon variants, which support CDMA (have different partitioning from non-CDMA versions). You cannot install other versions firmware to Sprint and Verizon variants.
You can install international firmware to the AT&T version m8 with s-off (may need to change the CID, MID depending on whether the firmware was hacked or not).

Hard to say, there isn't enough info to answer this definitively/properly.
If the version has a MM RUU, the easiest solution is probably to run the RUU (will wipe phone).

Mine is not updating either gets the first part of the two part update it installs fine but then nothing else happens and it says the phone is up to date.
Guys... Unlock bootloader, install Twrp recovery using fastboot, install Stock MM by @xXminiWHOOPERxX and it's done
Thanks, modaifallah, I have had that rom from xXminiWHOOPERxX and it is good but because it is pre rooted it wont take updates. Still want to be on stock and get ota updates, I am thinking that perhaps that because the first part of the update is called interum maybe my carrier just hasn't made the second part of the update available yet and only have that first part ota at the moment, will contact them today to try and find out, still uncertain after talking to htc and my carrier as to which one actually provides the ota updates, they both just want to refer to the other, call htc and they say talk to your carrier, call my carrier and they say you'll have to talk to htc.

This is disappointing... HTC Desire EYE won't most likely recieve any more updates. Its cousin One M8 won't recieve Android N.. From an official comment from HTC. So the desire eye also won't recieve it being far less popular than M8. We will only have the custom roms option for future updates. So.. If I were you I would stick to miniwhoopers rom. Good luck.
