hi is there anyway to go back to froyo from gingerbread on stock g2 i used the update from here and i hate all the bugs on gingerbread n will wait for them to get fixed also is there a difference between the update here and ota update?
Downgrading to 2.2 from 2.3 has been discussed extensively, there are threads on this very topic literally a couple posts under yours.
What bugs do you speak of? which "update from here" are you using (aka are you rooted or not?)? Need to be more specific. I haven't heard any noticeable number of complaints about 2.3 OTA stability. Seems extremely stable to me.
If you flashed a pre-rooted OTA it will be the exact same as the OTA as far as stability goes. They're the same ROM, just rooted.
If you're rooted and unhappy with the stability of your current setup, there are several threads in the dev section with pre-rooted OTA ROMs available for flashing. There are also many other extremely stable ROMs based on 2.3 in the dev section.
If you go back to 2.2 to "wait for the bugs to be fixed", you'll never come back to 2.3 because the G2 won't be getting anymore OTA's if I had to bet on it. I'm not sure what "bugs" you speak of, but you're either running a pre-release leaked build with issues, or improperly configured your phone/apps or had a bad flash.

Hey guys,
I'm using desire with os 2.1 and know that 2.2 is releases in europe already. How do I flash to the official 2.2 rom? I do not want to try other cooked roms.
Thanks!

I got my 2.2 update file here http://hotfile.com/dl/58947725/9565...8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip.html
Is there not an official RUU for 2.2 yet?
Personally I'd think very carefully before flashing the official rom. Prepare yourself for things not working as well as 2.1.
Rumour has it that HTC is already preparing a patch. IMO I wouldn't do it as there is no going back. Much better rooting and flashing the official OTA rooted version so you can have a play. If you take a nandroid backup before you flash you can then very easily restore the 2.1 rom after you are disgusted with all the broken stuff
Equally flash a custom rom that applies fixes to the broken bits and be happy

I hope the rumors true.
Thats the only reason im looking at a 2.2 RUU.
My 2.1 unbranded OTA'd to 2.2, and handfree over BT is broke, HTC Music app crashes when the Navigation app speaks, and a few other minor bugs here and there...was hoping that a 2.2 RUU would fix all that, that it was a broken install....?
I see. So in that case, a cooked rom of 2.2 will work better in that sense?
my 2.2 works perfect but i dont use Bluetooth as I prefer points than to wear one of the gay little headsets lol
buying a desire soon and doing some researching and since the official froyo update is out, should i root or just update it?
Root and then install Neophyte 1.6. It's a custom rom that gives you a good stockish version of Froyo plus all the fixes that are needed making better than OTA Froyo.
OTA Froyo is buggy and should not have been released imo.
root but only if you understand it or if will be of any benefit to you, as if your phone breaks, the warrenty will be void!!!
I suggest buying it, keeping it stock - as htc will update it with fixes, and then seeing if root is really needed for you??? hope this helps, and btw, there are polls to see what roms peopls use on here so dont take one persons opinion in which rom to use, ie i used open desire v1.0c and i prefer that but everyone has different opinions.
I have rooted and updated to froyo but only because I am an eager beaver lol If I was you and not on Virgin Mobile then I would just wait for the OTA update and not bother with root tbh
@aunger90 do you have a link to this poll?
Ok so now I'm rooted and I'm not installing OTAs, but where does that leave my phone? I read all the root information in the stickies and they say to get new ROMs once they become available, but where should I be following these new ROMs? Is there some place I can check every day or so often to discover if the latest OS version has a ROM? I think this is important information especially concerning security updates and such that may be included in the latest versions of Android. Perhaps this information (such as where to get the latest ROMs or even who is working on them or even what the latest version of the operating system that will work on an evo) is deserving of a sticky.
Thanks a lot for any help. Now that I am rooted I don't want to fall behind in important updates. I even heard the latest OTA for Evo has Swype. (I have a version, but even so...)
Some ROMs have built in updaters like Fresh, Myns and others I can't remember. Also I believe the paid version of rom manager has a updater.
The best though is to bookmark the thread where you got your rom and check it every so often.
I wouldn't worry about daily updates, even the best dev will only update every couple weeks.
Also most of the sense based roms will update a day or two after a OTA update. ASOP are in their own category and generally update when Google or cyanogen release something new.
I appologize if this has been already answered. I did search around and couldnt find any threads related to this.
Does anyone know if the Midnight ROM has corrected the data connectivity issues that are present in the stock froyo build from samsung/sprint.

I am using the ROM and haven't experienced any issues what so ever.
Thanks.
I am currently running the stock froyo build from the Samsung site. Rooted and CW2 installed. Notice the problem when I am roaming using roam control. Data connectivity is intermittent. Hoping a custom rom is the way to go.
I am a little reluctant to go to the ext4 format. Will this prevent me from upgrading "official" froyo updates as they become availabe?

If you're running a custom rom then OTA updates will not come automatically.
Like when official froyo came out. After a few days the devs here had a tar file that included root and recovery. So using odin; i used that to get to the latest version provided by sprint (plus the extras I needed to run custom roms)
Then flashed my fav eb13 rom (eb13 being the version of official froyo from sprint for epic)
smooth sailing; as long as you read and familiarize before you just jump in. You'll know what to -not- do and what to do if something funky happens.
Good lock and happy romming!!
i am running midnight rom 4.1 and have no issues. if you are having issues i would suggest redoing it, not uncommon to have issues every now and then.
Hi there XDA,
Definitely horrible at flashing and jazz, I have a quick question.
I had flashed JellyBeanv3 rom a while back and today I received the 4.1.2 OTA, now I'm wondering if my phone would brick if I updated.
What would the proper steps be to update? Also, would I be better off using CM10 (I hear a lot of good things about it, just don't know what's so special.)
Thanks,
-Mike
You won't brick, although you may lose root.
If you are fine with stock, then just upgrade to the OTA.
If not, then I'd upgrade to CM. They introduced the latest 4.1.2 upgrades in a matter of a couple days, so you're not lagging far behind official releases. CM includes an OTA updater so you can update to the latest nightly pretty easily.
To install CM, follow the directions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839882
What's "Jellybeanv3"? A custom rom?
An OTA update WILL NOT work on a custom rom.
If it's indeed custom built, I don't understand how you people are EVEN getting the update message.
If OP is on stock rom (no mods, etc) and talking about JZO54K OTA, then just run the update. If not (cwm installed, rooted+modified system files), read this thread.
About CM, do you think so many people love it just because? lol.
Try it yourself. Like reuthermonkey said, read the nightlies thread/first post, flash away.
Jellybeanv3 was a custom rom that came with awesomebeats, was pretty cool.
I decided against upgrading to ota, and went with cm10. Pretty much godlike in my opinion. The colors on this phone have never been more vibrant.
