For those who had a shred of hope that 2.1 leakers are getting OTA.....

[tonyb81]

I may be wrong on this, but where would a 1.5 link be available to download. Seeing that it came with 1.5 when it was released, why would there be a link to download it to your phone? It makes sense that there is one for the G1 because it was the first android phone.

 

[moodydood]

the link from the site provided that is dead can be found here:

Downloads - android-roms - Project Hosting on Google Code

the original file linked says it is signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip, so if you go to the link i provided and search for signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip, you'll find it.

i haven't tried the file, looking over it right now.


*i guess it's irrelevant though, since it is for the g1.

I am willing to try and install 1.5. Ever since I installed V2 and then V3 my reception has been crap. 1, maybe 2 or 3 bars if I am lucky. That has been my biggest problem really is the lack of bars. Almost feel like I am back on AT&T.

The bars are wrong. It is known bug in 2.1.

I have seen them jump to 3-4. Thought it was odd.

Have you installed on your phone or just downloaded so far?

 

[RMMahoney]

Just downloaded to see if the link was good. Haven't installed yet. Not really sure how. I know with v2 and v3 I just loaded the zip file on my SD card and did the reboot, but this is named different.

Just waiting for a pro on here who has the bravery to try it first.

I am a coward, I admit it.

 

[ErisKlown]

so can we in fact downgade to the 1.5? even tho ou bootloader is different??

I seriously doubt its that easy, if this was the case it would be posted on here on how it can be done, and all the people on 2.1v3 that regretted doing so would have already downgraded.

Then again i'm stupid so who knows.

Unless you are VZWsupport's "ZC", I doubt that.

I am one of those that when the pro's on here post how to do it, I will be downgrading.

 

[mdeblaz]

Are they serious right now??? Anyone could have told us this... wow! How can they seriously be telling us to install a rom for T-Mobile? And also to believe some random guy who gave them a link via Twitter and then tell their customers to try ANY of them?



@VZWSupport .. could it be on this page? http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list
@Kaessa Yes great! Thanks for your help. *ZC 12 minutes ago via web



@abn75 I do not have the ability to test any of them.

@driverx125 You will have to choose one. I do not have the ability to test any of them.

@TopazAaron You will have to choose one. I do not have the ability to test any of them.

@homewmt You will have to choose one. I do not have the ability to test any of them.

@PhishChica I do not have the ability to check any of these links to see which of the cupcake updates works.

 

[Deleted User]

Yeah, I saw someone give the link here, I figured maybe VZWSupport knew what they were looking for (HA!) and this could speed up the search. Obviously, they didn't know what they were looking for. *sigh*

 

[mdeblaz]

it's mind boggling that VZW is allowing this ZC person to tell people to try this

No fault to you Kaessa, thanks for trying to help them... but it's just crazy to see the kind of info they're giving out on Twitter.

if its named something different then just rename to PB00IMG.zip and flash it. your not going to ruin your phone, at most it will just reboot because the install failed.

i am rooted so i cant tryi, but this **shouldnt** mess your phone up at all.

only reason i say shouldnt is because i dont want to be blamed if 1 out of the hundreds of people who will eventually try it blames it on me when he bricks his phone doing something stupid

1. rename PB00IMG.zip
2. put on sd card
3. reboot with power down and power buttons

give it a shot. imagine how awesome it will be if it works

[Deleted User]

I tried the first cupcake link, renamed it to setup.zip, and it didn't work. Had to pull my battery and reboot.

is it supposed to be update.zip?

 

[andrizoid]

not sure which one to try, havent even checked the website lol
just download, rename and flash. if it fails then move on to the next one.

 

[chaM87]

I will rep anyone who figures out the process to getting us leakers on 1.5, and then getting on the root-train.

the one they originally linked to was signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip, which is in there if you search.

something tells me i wouldn't hold my breath though and expect much to come out of this.
