that sucks...so if cupcake comes out this month i basically wont get that screen popping up saying update available??

Yeah you won't but I'm sure they'll be a MOD version of cupcake out before the real cupcake even reaches your part of the country.

or when cupcake is released you could always revert back to "unrooted" original firmware and get the OTA.

how would they get the files though?
i dnt think they wud get it till after the release
unless they can prove me wrong

Seeing how the rooted RC33 came out first and how we already have access to the Magic Firmware and such, I'm sure we will be able to get it before its released lol.

Actually you should get a notification that there is an update available.
You just wont be able to download it.

Dont place all your eggs on that thinking.
IF, we get the update we are all waiting for, it'll be a major one.
For it being leaked, nah. Someone will have to "extract" it out the phone.
Then "Jesus" will have to get his hands on it, do his magic and get it modded for us.
That is IF "Jesus" is still willing or isnt taking a vacation where there is no internet connection too get the news about the update, so on.

Well hey, I'm just saying lol... If google is going to do the same thing as they did with the RC33 Update, which is release it online before releasing the OTA update, then our friend JF WILL mod it for us before we resort to violence

He is only your friend if you believe in him LOL
FYI, he real doesn't have to do anything
We are at his mercy It's not like he gets paid too HAVE too do it.

yes, but him not doing anything will drive the community into insanity, then we shall form a mob, forcibly tie him to a computer chair, and make him mod it for us!!! BwuahahahAHAhAHAHahAH!!!!! lol

I would so keep going with this but religious comments are not recommanded. lol
As for the tieing him up part, exclude me out of it. I enjoy my life, doing that, who knows what will bring into our future. OVER A PHONE!!!!

lol, and its not just over a phone! Its over a G1!!! theres a world of difference between the two! pshaww lol

[Solved]Cupcake 1.5 Downgrade?

Hello Kinda newbie question, maybe not? not to sure im new at this forum but ive heard great reviews of the knowledge of the members, i have a particular question ive looked around, but couldnt find anything on Downgrading the cupcake 1.5 back to stock or RC30, i mean is this possible by any means, im actually wondering because i wouldnt mind flashing the new HERO ROM on my G1 looks really interesting, if anyone knows anything or share their own thoughts that would be awesome!!
Once you have rooted your phone, you can flash to any rooted ROM... RC33, ADP1, Cupcake 1.5, Hero, etc

does it matter if i am already running the CRB43 build?
Sorry, missed where you said "stock" in the first message. So do you want to unroot and go back to the official software? In that case, flash the DREAIMG.NBH file again, then wait for the OTA update.
If that's not what you want.. Clarify, I'm confused.
well i was able to flash the phone back to RC29 i was rooting the phone but i stupid ass loads the new SPL that was for the HERO rom and now the phone is officially bricked no recovery mode or rainbow screen haha..!! fudge!...im thking of going to the tmobile store and just say i accidentally dropped it and phone shut off and when i turned it on it was stuck??? i did pre order the mytouch...but yeah man last night turned out to be a disaster now im stuck with a blackberry pearl for now lol.. thanks tho at least we learn from out mistakes
You can also try playing dumb and just say that there was a new update available and you hit OK, then the screen went blank and now it won't turn back on...

haha yeah thats actually a good one..but the phone stuck on the TmobileG1 splash, the is still under warranty so im thinking it would cover it..i got it 2 months ago i believe
Good luck with it, most people seem to be able to get a new phone.
There's also an entire thread about this just a few under yours: Lying to T-Mobile to Get Bricked G1 Fixed or something like that...

yeah true...i do wonder but i dont think so...everyone usually gets their share i mean..like i bring in my dead phone, theres usually a factory warranty HTC covers the damage, tmobile loses nothing since most likely they get credited for the Returned Mechandise, if its a bricked phone HTC, theyll most likely flash the chipset via Jtag or something u know...kinda crazy in a way cause what do you think might happen if there was no factory warranty
Update!
they are sending me a brand new one lol! hopefully i dont fudge this one up!

No disrespect son, but dude looks like a duche bag holding up those rags like that. I mean, where did they find that guy?

He reminds me of the guy selling Meth at the Super 8 by the freeway.

Those ShamWow commercials must be part of his community service or something.

Did you receive Official Froyo OTA?

Did anyone receive official Froyo via OTA yet?
It is supposed to be pushed during the end of this week.
And we are here already.
I'm buying my N1 this week so that'd be great if it came out the same time!
I've quit counting on Google and 2.2. They said it would be released "shortly" weeks ago.
Maybe they are waiting to try and steal some of Apple's thunder next week.
Even so, I have a trip to take and I would like to have Froyo on my device as it's MUCH quicker and more reliable than 2.1(I have 2.2 on my Tmobile Nexus but not my ATT Nexus)
I simply wish Google would just give us the damn OS already. I've been waiting so long it has ceased being fun. Now I just want to load the OS and move on...
They really managed to ruin the fun of a new OS(for me) with all of this hurry up and wait crap.
Don't get me wrong, I love Google and my Nexus, but they've burnt me out waiting on Froyo.
I know this is going to come across as crass, but are you guys 8 years old? You can't wait 2 weeks for an OTA update? You can't manually update in the mean time? How could a company burn you by not releasing an update when YOU want them to? That's like complaining that while living at home, Mommy didn't make the dinner that you wanted that night.
Grow up. It will be here. IO was 2 weeks ago. You must have something better to do with your time than ***** about this.

Although I also hate waiting for updates I would rather have a bug free version. I came from the GSM Hero...I bought in December and was told update to 2.1 would be in Jan 2010, then Feb, then March, still nothing.
Waiting sucks...but its worth it.
Lets cross our fingers and hope Froyo will be out soon!

+1, Its not like eclair is uber slow or sucks. I too believe that it will start releasing during. Wwdc2010 to steal headlines from apple. Also, a bug free version is much more desirable for me as well.

That's the thing though, 2.2 is not that buggy. I have it on my TMobile Nexus One. I'd be thrilled to have the exact same version of 2.2 on my ATT Nexus(without rooting).
I'm hoping they are adding features or something taking this freaking long.
I hope you get 2.1 soon bro, that has to be a rough wait you have endured.

Actually, I was on the forum posting about an issue with my sound. I have 2.2 already, I've had it since the manual update went out. It's fantastic, and I see no reason to get worked up over the OTA.

You're not pissed because you already have what you want. Some of us still don't. You make little sense. You think 2.2 is quote "fantastic" but don't understand why we are worked up for the OTA? Maybe we want that fantastic 2.2!!!!

telus 2.2 froyo to arrive in july!!!

just got off the phone with telus they said 2.2 froyo is in beta right now and that it will come around the same time the droid gets it or shortly after rep said in july
now maybe someone over there would be nice enough to let a leak find its way over here

Don't take their words with anything less than a big pile of salt.
I talked to my area telus rep in person today, he told me that he has no news on the milestone 2.2 update, and he had a LOT of news.
i spoke to tech support so they know more than the reps the reps only know of things through memos tech support test stuff big diff there
Well, i think we should just wait for it, i'm 99% sure it will eventually come... what i'm more worried about is the ginger3.0 update, it seems to be a much bigger deal, improving the UI.
My guess is we will have to hope for those kexec guys to be successful, since i doubt motorola will roll an official update...

I imagine all the Milestone/Milestone XT7xx carriers got Froyo code drops from Motorola this week for testing, not just Telus. We already know that Verizon is testing it on the Droid.
And yeah, I expect a leaked ROM to come out soon, though the first will probably be for the EMEA phones if I were a betting man.
Well. But. We need to root it!
Apart from the jokes... I'm hoping for a Froyo leak...

[Q] how to stop/disable ota firmware update notification

Did a *#checkin#* (just for shyts n giggles) now I get an update notification every 5 mins and it's getting very frustrating how do I stop/disable the notification... I am rooted therefore I can not update via the ota..... PLEASE HELP!!!!
I just go ahead let the phone go through the update. It will fail with those no signature message. Just reboot and it stopped bothering me for the update.
No need to apply, just reboot the phone.
I rebooted my phone and it's still nagging me. is there another way? thanks

Well if its asking you to update to 2.3.3, then lots of people here are waiting for the files so they can manually update, as Google haven't put them on their developers site to anyones knowledge. Plus people can then get cooking with the files you provide.
So be a dear, upload the files. Please!

You've got to give him some credit... I've never seen some one pretend to get an OTA, that everyone wants, in such a clever way. Normally it's more like this, "YAYY!!!!! I gotz dA OTAs!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111one!!!!11ONE!!!" and then you never hear from them again. If he didn't have over 700 posts I'd almost believe him.
I can give some credit for that
It is better than the guy who posts on twitter, and once revealed that he was making it up, is threatened by many.
serious update is serious!!
oh... =/
I saw now that it was an old thread... if I'd knew I wouldn't answer to it.
OR, he found and posted in this thread because it was relevant to a problem he's having on another Android phone?
Look at his signature, he has a G2.
Quit being so jumpy people.

sooo a guy with over 700 posts here doesn't realize that this isn't the g2 forum, somehow gets a g2 update, when I'm almost positive there are none being released currently (or ever for the g2) on the day that the n1 happens to have announced that is coming out and people are foaming at the mouths to get it?
and I'm supposed to feel bad for him reanimating a year old thread from the dead, with a vague non working solution to a problem he prior didn't have?
I'll stick with my thoughts on the matter, thanks though.
