Any OTA Froyo in UK yet?

[TOR]

Who am I kidding. If it's not here by Sunday I'm doing it manually.

That was my plan too. Getting bored of waiting so will do it manually this weekend. I don't know why, I just wanted the update as an OTA

 

[MartinS]

Gutted

Now I need to decide. Do I see how long it takes Vodafone and then see what they've actually done with the ROM, or do I unlock and risk the warranty...?

If I unlock and upgrade the ROM, will I then be excluded from Vodafone ROM's and part of the official Google OTA update club instead?

The phone should get the OTA fine. The Nexus One is Google's phone and therefore the firmware is not altered by the carrier as far as I'm aware. It's when you start adding things like HTC Sense, Motoblur etc that updates are held up because these have to be modified to work with the new OS version.

As long as Vodaphone haven't added any splash screens etc then it should be OK.

Unfortunately for Voda customers, it does. Their handsets are EPF21B or EPF30 and do not have an upgrade path. I use their forum a lot and a fair few customers are few up and have been unlocking and moving the 'proper' firmware.


'Bout freaking time

So as I understand it as I have EPF21B on my nexus one from vodafone, i cant manually update? Instead i have to root?

Am i correct?

[Rusty]

You are correct.

 

[noisemonkey]

What networks are you guys on?

Thanks

on 3, my phone is US import from Google.

 

[Curnsie]

You are correct.

Thanks Rusty
So if I root my phone will I get all future OTAs from Google or through vodafone? Or will I have to root again?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm new to all this android updating shenanigans!

 

[Hmmm]

I'm currently in Oman in the middle of the dessert so thought there's no way I was going to get the ota update until I returned to uk next week, turns out I was wrong! Arrived yesterday!

There was no update message in the notification bar Just a screen message asking if if I wanted to restart my phone to install the system update!

It appears that the update has nothing to do with your carrier as I have an Oman mobile sim in mine at the moment and I'd be surprised if Google knows anything about them! Nexus isn't available in Oman!

If you have the AT&T model or the TMo model, it doesn't matter what SIM card you have inserted into your Nexus

Didn't think Google would push an update over the network to a country they don't sell too. Especially as they don't Have 3g where I am.

I believe that Google is slowly rolling out the update on phones based on the IMEI (or some other phone identification) and not carriers (for TMO or AT&T models). Since there are people in Canada that have stated getting the OTA udates.

Have decided that Friday window is closed (ignoring the fact that Google is on a different timezone...).

Took the plunge and did a manual update using these great instructions [How-To] Stock 2.1 or any 2.2 build to latest Froyo (FRF91) - Google Nexus One Owners | Google Groups

All seems to be fine so far, fingers crossed. I'm off to get Flash safe in the knowledge that I will now not waste my entire weekend looking at my phone and willing it to update.

You only need to unlock your bootloader if you want Froyo (android 2.2) now, you can wait (no precise date has been set yet) for Google to send an update to 2.2 for phones running EPF21b/EPF30, you won't be left behind.

The build for Vodaphone are being held up by Vodaphone, not Google.

God Damn Vodafone!!!!!!! why!! - xda-developers

 

[michael_84]

Am sure it will be Google making the modifications as oppose to Vodafone, though am not arguing that it was Vodafone who made the request for modifications to Froyo.

A pleasant surprise already: Picassa is now syncing web albums with my Nexus Gallery which has never previously worked for me.

 

[Curnsie]

So I couldn't wait.... I followed this guide, which ironically was posted on Vodafones forum!! I now have Froyo FRF91.

Google Nexus One - Android 2.2 - Froyo! - Vodafone eForum - Page 14

Another post I read a couple of pages earlier in the link above mentioned that they have since received the very latest OTA from Google (FRF91?).

Glad my guide helped.

Oh that's good, you're here. Because I couldn't find an option on the guide to say thanks.

So thanks!!

LOL! You're welcome.

I like to help, but sometimes information is hard to find, so I made the group to centralize it. I am still fleshing it out, but I made sure to make it so you don't have to join to see the content. I'm not out to drive up members (although it is nice to have) but make a central repository of information.

Just received FRF91 OTA. I bought my N1 direct from Google back in January and am using a Vodafone sim. The kicker... usb tethering is greyed out.

Try plugging your USB cable into the phone and then your computer and check the setting again.

You can't switch USB tethering on unless it's plugged in!

LOL! I realised that just as I hit post. What a dufus.

It works perfectly. Need to test further, but on 2.1 I wasn't able to maintain a connection to read / write files, but that seems to be fixed on first glance too. That would be a major step up for me - saves removing the card and putting it in a reader, or doing it over wifi.

Just received my ota 2.2 this morning for my uk simfree N1 on o2.

You're so lucky, when did you buy your sim free N1? I got mine in Feb and still haven't received an OTA yet. I wonder how Google are pushing out the updates, it seems that they're certainly firing up the servers in the morning as I haven't heard of any one who has got an OTA during the day.

 

[kamran]

Hi.
This is my first post. I would like to share that I have received my 2.2 OTA this morning.
I am in UK bought my phone in February direct from Google. I am on orange network.
