I just got an update from t-moble, version 34.4.9, checked after it installed and now my android version is 2.2.1, am I dreaming?
Is that t-mobile usa? Sounds like good news.

I am not seeing any updates. Under System Updates, when I press it, it says "Check for update was not available right now. Try again later."
Is this where you found the update?
That's where I found it, settings - about phone - system updates.
Just checked, it is froyo
My girlfriend will be happy when I update her phone later. How is it running? Flash works?

I've been unable to install the update. Error message is "Error in /cache/Blur_Version3.6.360.MB525.T-Mobile.en.US.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted." Hmmm...

China got its official 2.2
U.S. got its official 2.2
When will Europe get official 2.2?
Just finished downloading. Doing a backup. After that I'll run and see how much carnage this thing causes. I've been playing with the unofficial one on my other phone so I'm psyched to see how this one plays out. I'll update once I'm done.
Attempt #1 = Failure. Guess it checks for all of the stock apk files. So I'm going to re-enable all of the bloatware and try again.
Update #2 After failing to update...now I no longer have the ability to update. Where is the update downloaded to?
Update #3 - Thankfully I have a backup with the update on it. Have made a little more progress. Now I'm only getting the Status 7 code....which means I need to unroot the phone. So thats the next step. They are not making this easy.

According to an Admin on the Moto forum this is a limited release.
Does anyone know, or hear anything about an official AT&T 2.3.4 update for the Xperia play 4g and when it will be released?? i had got a random "a software update is availible" message today and when i went to pc companion to download it i was already up to date... ._. and i know Ics isnt due till late April early May for general release...so i thought maybe it was 2.3.4
I've been running 2.3.4 on my xperia play for some time now. I didn't hack it or anything I use AT&T too.
but my Xperia is a Google IO play I donna if that changes things.
Yeah I connect it to my pc and try to update it but it says it's up to date. I have a r800at as well.

Hello,
Have you uninstalled or frozen any system apps? If so, SE will not let you download any updates. You must restore them for it to work. Either that, or they took the update down. I don't see why they would do that though...
I got the same message yesterday as Black_reign32. I went into the "about phone" section under settings and clicked "check for updates" and it didn't find anything. Now, this could be due to the fact that I am using my r800at on t-mobile. I don't have root, so I haven't frozen any system apps, but I have uninstalled a couple of the apps that came pre-loaded that I didn't want, mainly the att specific ones.
US sexplay owners get the shaft. I have the R800X on Verizon and we're stuck on 2.3.3 as well. You don't realize how far you're left behind until you see that all the goodies (Snapdragon Game Command, PlayStation Store, etc.) Can only be had on devices that have 2.3.4.
I don't want to root, but I don't think I can hold out until next May to get official ICS.
Does, the R800AT have PlayStation pocket?

Well, the deal with ICS is that Sony is releasing it, just like they released 2.3.4. This doesn't mean that AT&T or Verizon will release ICS for our phone. I would recommend either the Sony 2.3.4 signed ROM or the wotanserver.com one. From my understanding, they are the same thing. I'm using the one from wotanserver on my r800at and it's working great! PlayStation Pocket, 2.3.4, the Gamepad works great and no AT&T bloatware. I only root mine to move the big apps off of the internal memory that won't allow it otherwise.

SE said that they're bringing ICS to Verizon and AT&T Xplays by mid-May. Yes the update is coming from SE, but Verizon and AT&T must "approve" it (translation: add their bloatware and shovelware).

Actually you can if you mean the generic north American rom. Its signed so you can install it just fine. That's what I did. I have an AT&T r800at and got rid of the stock firmware and went with the generic. No bloatware for me plus 2.3.4
Sent from my R800a using Tapatalk
So, how did you upgrade? Just download the signed rom and install it through the PC Companion software? Did this wipe your phone/data, or did it preserve it like an OTA would? Also, did it change your R800AT to an R800i or a, similar to how installing certain roms change that? Sorry for all the questions and thanks!

Used flashtool to flash the file once downloaded to my PC. Yes it wiped the phone clean so backup anything you need before you flash. I backed up the stock games from the at&t version cause they are different on the generic rom. It changed my model to a r800a from r800at. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Sent from my R800a using Tapatalk
How did you back up the games? I assume this process applies to other games that I have purchased/downloaded. Is this the DRM stuff I have heard people talk about?
Do you think changing to an r800a would effect anything important? I am using the play on T-mobile now. I wouldn't think so.
Also, I am assuming this would prevent any OTA to ICS. But, on the same hand, I guess I can always download the signed ROM and re-flash it just like this one.
Do you need root for any of this? I don't currently have root.
Thanks again!

Do you still have HSPA+ support on your phone after shifting from r800at to r800a firmware? And even if the H+ doesn't show up at the top, did your data speeds change at all?
is the 2.3.4 generic rootable? if so ill have no problem restoring **** cuz i use titanium backup
Backedup the stock games by rooting then moving the apk from system/app to the SD card. Once I flashed to generic I reinstalled it using that apk. Use the set InstallLocaton trick to clear up internal space.
You can still root the generic with zerg.
I still get the H+ and didn't notice any change in speeds. Still as fast as with stock.

You still get the "H" logo but, if you look closely, the "+" is gone. I'm told that it's still H+ regardless.

Ups....messed up users.
But if bootloader is OPEN/UNLOCKED. Then use flashtool in development section..
This will do this job fine.
If bootloader is LOCKED/CLOSED, then use official update method..if 1st flash unsucsess...then reflash agent.
Error you getting if drivers or Java is not correctly installed.

Hello i think you need 4 this >>> <toto> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358
Hello people
I'm a user of the Arc s and who has spent over 5 hrs trying to root my phone but with no luck,
I've tried every way of rooting I could find but they ether don't work or I couldn't download the required files.
Meaning when I try and download the flashtools, A i don't know which one if the correct link because theres like 600 links or something and, B the person who uploaded the files had to use a server with a 1 download a hr limet and I'm NOT paying anything or signing up to the hosting place.
When I try one of the easy ways, like the one click app way they don't do anything, like i get cmd popping up for like 2 seconds then closing but nothing happens.
Just so you guys know, I'm not a noob. I have done these things before on different phones, but A it's been a long time scenes I've rooted anything before and B my Arc needs to be rooted in a very strange way which I've never seen before.
So the bottom line is i need help, can anyone help? anything would be useful.
Flashtool has 3 links on the main page ...
http://androxyde.github.com/
All 3 worked fine for me. Let's start there
What build are you on? If it is .62/69 then the one click method its never going to work.
If on .42 then the one click will work
if on ics the easy rooting will work add I have used them both.
Flashtools look for version .7.0.1
When using three one click rooting phone needs to be powered on. Connect via usb run file via PC then follow the promts on screen.
I an not in front of PC so cant post links.

Does Superuser.apk report any issues with your SU binary? The complaints from ROM Manager make it sound as though your system isn't properly rooted.

Wish I did, I've yet to get my hands on one of these new Frankenstein devices that HTC has released recently. I don't know what it is that they changed but, it hasn't been kind to the users who own them. Sadly until it's all sorted you're probably stuck with stock software. I know some of the other users I've spoken with have gotten the new HTC bootloader and unlocked that and managed to get some custom and rooted roms onto the device but, this isn't a easy task. This thread contains one of the current solutions for getting around the display issue to flash a custom ROM.
