[Q] Android 2.2.1 - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if we are receiving the 2.2.1 update for our G2's? I understand that the phone only came out a few months ago but since we are pretty much running Vanilla Android I don't see what the hold up could be if there are any. I'm just going to assume that the 2.2.1 is just some small fixes for the system?
Sorry if this is a repeat but I did search this forum and found nothing except information on Android 2.3.
Thanks

Flash a custom rom it should be running 2.2.1

Can I get stock Froyo on Telus Desire ??

Can I get stock Froyo rom on Telus Desire ?
I have already rooted 2.1 that's on it, if that makes a difference.
I have no interest in running a custom rom since the stock (2.2) one has everything I need...
I'm also wondering the same thing actually.
I've been looking into upgrading to this ROM, since it's claimed to be 'stock':
[ROM] Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM [Market issue fixed]
It won't let me post a link, but its in the Desire Android Development page
I think that's the one I found but it said you have to wipe...
I just want to upgrade and keep my existing data

I answered my own question.
Modaco (where I'm also premium) has more information on the subject... I rooted a week or so ago and modaco has the stock Froyo with radio and already rooted rom.
So I just downloaded that and applied update, I didn't even wipe before since I didn't want to lose my data.
Anyways problem solved.
also just picked up the desire , on rogers and was hoping to upgrade to 2.2, I had the hero before and it was a little more clear cut back then, but Im not sure to wait for official or just root and get stuff started,
NEed HELP

Can I flash from uk froyo 3.4.2 to china froyo?

Is it possible or i'm stuck with 3.4.2 based?
I never tried this but I don't would do that.
UK and Finland ROM's are much better and keep in mind, that the China-ROM could break your flashlight.
I'm having the same request here.
Im on:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Build: 3.4.2-117
I flashed the UK rom because I was previously stuck with an endless boot loop issue.
I can't stick with the UK rom because I won't get 3G here in Canada.
Am I able to flash to Chinese 2.2? From there I can probably get some custom roms that are based on the T-Mobile rom.
Also, I can't seem to get my System Rocovery to work anymore. I hold volume down and power. I get to the screen with the android fella and the warning/exclamation thing. Before all I had to do was tap the bottom right, but that doesn't seem to work anymore.
Please help

Anyone know if the China 2.2 ROM is newer than the UK Build: 3.4.2-117?
no you can't
the UK/T 2.2 is higher than CN froyo.
Thanks.

[Q] Stock google roms

Sorry if this is a noob question but I did quite a bit of searching and could not find anything.
Is it possible to install stock google roms on a DZ? I would really like to install the latest version then have it update itself by OTA. My phone is rooted and currently running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.
Thanks!
Id stick with cm7 from my personal experience its close to stock android Rome and it runs remarkably well

Yes, it is possible to run stock android roms on a DZ, there are several different variants out there right now. Just for example there's virtuous g-lite (look in the dev section or on virtuous' homepage) which is currently on version 2.3.5 I believe. A more up-to-date rom seems to be this one: 2.3.7 (please read the op, some issues still remain).
Though, as far as I know, you will not be able to receive OTAs as these are pushed to your phone by your carrier. If you want to receive OTAs on a DZ you will have to revert back to a stock sense rom.
Any ROM that works on the G2 works on the Desire Z (as long as you are rooted and S-Off, which you obviously are if you are on CM7). So if you want, just go to the Developement section and you will find pre-rooted versions of the G2 AOSP ("stock Google") ROMs. But make sure the ROM is pre-rooted. If you install an "official" ROM that is not pre-rooted, you will lose root, and need to go through the whole process again.

Best thing if you want Stock ROM is Android Revolution HD, BEST stock based ROM (Sense 3.0, 2.3.5 Gingerbread)
Although you might like to experiment with other Android versions, like AOSP (exactly as Google intended it), AOKP (slightly modified), CyanogenMod (Different thing altogether) or even MIUI (if you like the iPhone's simplicity)
