Default T-Mobile G2 Touch Update?
Have just got this on a contract, hadn't realised that it was only on Android 1.5, and wanted to know if there's a way I can upgrade to at least 2.0? Would prefer to not have to "root" the phone, but if its the only way I wouldn't mind being pointed in the right direction

If its anything like my G1 you can only go up to 1.6. Idk though how much internal memory the G2 has though but if its just like the G1 you wont be able to upgrade any higher than 1.6 regardless.

The G2 and G1 are not the same. The G1 is the HTC Dream and the G2 is the htc Hero. HTC has said the hero will get an update to 2.1, but no further. They have already released the update for the CDMA Hero's in the U.S., so I can't imagine yours will be far behind.

Also, i am sure that if you were to root, you could have 2.1 now.
XDA forums are much more active for your particular phone than these forums. Here is a link

I'm getting my G2 Touch in a couple of days, and I'm almost positive I'm not gonna root it. The current update is fine, and I can deal with waiting until 2.1 which will be more than enough.

Anyone have any ideas when the official release date is?

They keep putting it back. It was supposed to be a few months ago, But then the postponed it, and they keep doing so.

The Sprite has the 2.1 update, So at a guess, I think a update shouldn't be too far down the line. Pity its a OTA update though.

For the G2 the build number is 2.73.110.26 for the current ROM. Firmware version is 1.5

If you are on 1.76... for the build number then you will need to update it.
