The Official Did You Get 2.2 Thread

[atmasters]

Got the update from Telus yesterday. So fare I like it

::hops over speedily and nimble. Clears his throat::

::bows slightly:: A good day My Phateless.

I am currently running the manual OTA update Android 2.2.1, Build FRG83B
Witht the Android Market Update to Version 2.09

:laces his fuzzy up to his chin as he ponders::

Nope I have not seen anything about the free up of 15 megs. I checked my available memory and its just about 26 megs. This is with some apss that run in the background but I can say testify to this, before the 2.2.1 update it seemed to running with the same memory available so if 2.2.1 puts aside some RAM for itself then some it freed up.

And let us not forget about the celery this time ::winks::

Ahh ok, just curious. Have you rooted it or are you going to leave it alone?

::Waves:: Hello once and Phateless!


Nope my mt3G is not rooted but the manual update and from what I have read it seems to be running just as good or better so I don't the any reason to root.

I have had no problems at all everything runs smooth a carrot smoothy.

Althought, because they have upped the speed of the processor you shall see the battery draining faster. No well worth trade.

::taps his lil foot:: Still waiting for the celery!

My oem 1.6 gave me BETTER battery life and obviously much better performance when I used setcpu at 245 min/528 max, on-demand. Overclocking doesn't necessarily mean bad battery life.

 

[MysteryMachine]

I did the manual update and so far it's been running great. I haven't really noticed the battery drain any faster but I haven't been on it as much tonight as I usually am. Not really much different then 1.6 that I see. No reason to get all bent outta shape over like some people have been

 

[dasudevil]

I have come to the conclusion that I will never get the update. Im rooted and to be honest it was a pain in the butt to get it rooted and i dont feel like trying to un root it. Who knows how long that will take.

Before you all start posting the links to unroot i know them. I just had an issue with this phone it took me a week for the phone to work properly so i dont feel like doing that again.

Besides ill be getting the 4g after i drop the kid off to school tomorrow / today. Ill use this one as a back up / tether machine as its still in mint condition. Looks like it came out of the box.

Ill miss you 3g section. :'(

Jesus, did you really have to root via goldcard? No wonder it was a pita for you. How long ago did you root it?

You realize that now we can root the oem 1.6 with Universal Androot, a simple app that can be installed in two minutes, right?

Unrooting to Cupcake, upgrading to Donut, upgrading to Froyo, then rooting your OEM Froyo with SuperOneClick could all be accomplished in less than an hour if you read carefully and know what you're doing.

Anyway, I'm with you. I'm picking up the MT4G as soon as Costco offers it at a discount like they currently are with the G2.

OOO.. it was a few months after i bricked my first one.. My guess 6 months ago or longer. I dont remember actually.


NO i did not know that about the universal root. And as the computer guru that i am the phones scare me. I cant really reset them like the computer or a blackberry. If i screw up its a simple patch or reinstall. With the androids i found out once you mess us (big one) your done.

I picked up the 4G this morning and OMFG what a difference. Soo much nicer WAY bigger screen, lighter, million times faster and well im still getting used to it.

Besides i cant go anywhere really im a 3Ger at heart. That and i still have it and will use it. LOL

 

[BJIZZLE G]

to anybody who has not got 2.2 you can get it in the t-mobile forums it took my about 15-20 mins very easy and im no computer genius by no means if you have common sense you can do it

Holy shit dude, (dudette?) you have to read up over at XDA Forums. It's become SOOO much easier now.

You can re-image the phone back to oem cupcake with a simple SAPPIMG.nbh file. SPL, radio, the works. Put the file on the root of your sd, hold volume down + power while booting and away you go. Easy.

From within Cupcake (1.5) you can use flashrec.apk to flash a custom recovery.

You can manually update SPL, radio and software back to Donut. There's a thread for that.
Make myTouch 32b Legal Up To Latest 1.6 DMD64 - xda-developers

You can manually update to Froyo the same way.

You can root from Cupcake or Donut with universal androot. (apk that installs to phone itself)
[GUIDE] Universal AndRoot - 1-click root (works on MyTouch 3G 1.2) - xda-developers

Or superoneclick (app for pc) can root your oem Froyo as well.
[APP]SuperOneClick v1.5.3 (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App, Get UNLOCK code) - xda-developers

It's easy to flash different radios or SPLs and you can use nandroid backup/restore to save a complete image of your current setup (except for your spl and radio) so you can revert if the change you just made bugs you.

Do some reading. Have fun staying up all night flashing your phone back and forth! Especially now that you have a spare phone and don't have to worry so much about bricking.

Just edited my sig to include a link to the rom i'm using. It's a prerooted version of the ota update. It's the closest one to stock I've seen so far, except for SU and an overclocking kernel included. Light and quick. Check it out.

 

[Yaz75]

Did the manual update on my wife's phone from the links posted on the T-Mobile forums. I know this sounds silly, but the links seemed legit and had tons of positive responses after the upgrade.

Performed the upgrade, no issue whatsoever. Phone boots quickly and has all the advertised features.

Except now I can not get it to work with wifi. It logs on to the router with no issues, but it just does not transfer data. Did a few factory resets with no change in performance. My wife rarely uses wifi so she doesn't really care, and it doesn't effect any other performance of the phone.

But the OCD in me hates that a certain feature won't work.

Suggestions?

[mcfierce24]

Sold mine with the OtterBox case, all original packaging and car charger for $150.

 

[Texter]

Oh where oh where has my 2.2 upgrade gone,
oh where oh where can it be?
Was told it would be here by Halloween,
still waiting and I'm 'bout to scream.

I got my mytouch 3g off ebay in Aug
model # = T-Mobile mytouch 3g,
Firmware version 1.5
Build number = COC10

I do not have tmobile for service I have iwireless a tmobile affiliate and have a full data and text plan.

Q: How can I update to the 1.6 donut? So I can get the 2.2 update, or is it better if I root?

I called both tmobile and iwireless neither could help me update the firmware to 1.6.

Thank you!

Hello? I'm still waiting. Is this coming, or not??

As of right now you should have it by Dec 15th. Or you can just update manually, it takes like 10 minutes and works perfect.

 

[jasnmb]

yeah, just do the manual update. it's easy!

When I read posts like this, I'm afraid of screwing things up doing the manual update.

The only difference is that you apply it manually instead of waiting for it ota. The files were originally downloaded directly from google by people who caught the download links when their own phones got the ota update.

Edited my sig so the links are right there for you. Enjoy!

I have the 2.1 update 1 as well. Hoping to get the 2.2 version soon...

This update applies to MT3G, NOT SLIDE. The Slide will get Froyo later.
