I have a nexus one which is not rooted or unlocked. It had vodas EPF30 on it and in my haste to get out of their grip i flashed the korean froyo and i see im not the only one.
Now i wanted to flash the US version of froyo so i can get the relevant updates first when they come out. I realise the issue with the newer H boot etc but figured if anyone can figure out how to do it, it's going to be someone from here so if someone can please look into it it would be very appreciated.
Thanks for reading

Hi all,
long time reader/poster but in the WinMo forums.
Have passed to Android but im afraid im getting really frustrated at the moment. I have tried searching but there's way too much material here..
I have a couple of questions that I would really like someone to answer for me:
- I am trying to understand the different JF versions around.. how does this work? is there a post somewhere that explains?
- I am on UK RC9 stock, for the moment not rooted but planning to. if I do, what update should i install after rooting.. as in.. what version is newer than RC9? (RC33 is for US only..)
- my G1 is unlocked and im using a Vodafone SIM card (stock RC9).. will I get OTA updates as well or only if I am on TMobile?
- if I get OTA updates, should I maybe wait for a cupcake OTA before rooting?
Sorry if this sounds over-noobish, I still havent adapted to the android mentality hopefully soon tho.
I have read all the stickys (how to root etc) and I am technical enough to understand telnet etc but i miss the basics apparently.
Any help is HIGHLY appreciated.
Thanks for your help!

There are 3 JF versions. RC33 v1.42, RC9 v1.43 and ADP1.1h v1.43.
Since you state that you are on UK RC9 stock I would use the RC9 version if you decide to root.
Yes you will get OTA updates. Currently RC 9 is the latest for UK (RC33 is for USA).
If you are rooted you will probably be able to upgrade to cupcake/new update before you would get it OTA. There will be no advantage to waiting for a new update to root.
Thanks
Thanks very much for your help mate,
things are becoming much clearer the more I read into it.. but there's tons of it all over the place!

Hi guys!
So I got my Samsung Captivate a week ago and unlocked it straight away.
My question is now:
If the new android Froyo 2.2 comes out, and I flash it, will my unlockcode stay the same?
cause I read here on the forums that if you update to 2.2 your unlock code will disappear!
From what i have read just write the code down. Then your good to go.

Until the official Froyo release comes out, no one knows for sure. Every answer is speculation based on the leaked Beta Froyo, or the i9000 release. The AT&T Captivate release may be different - since all AT&T phones are locked initially. But then again it may not be different. No one knows.
Thanks, I think that I will just write down my unlock code for now and wait a few weeks after the official release is out for gaining some knowledge about this subject..
anyone has more information about this?
I have been looking for an answer to this and if it has been answered before, point me to the thread.
I'm using a Telus Milestone here in the US with ATT. I have GOT OR 2.01 loaded on my milestone and it's rooted in everything. Now the next step would be to pick a firmware for 2.2.1. However, There is nothing listed for ATT or US at all for that matter.
Should I use Telus's Firmware? And will it still work with ATT? I want to load some custom roms, but I'm a bit stuck. Thanks for any input.
You should use Telus firmware. Or any firmware you like, but flash Telus baseband on top in order to get it working on AT&T
Check in milestone Android development thread, there are few choices available (roms), pick one. There is still no official Froyo rom for Milestone though. Most of the custom roms available are nearly fully functional.

Thank you very much. I wanted to try it, but I didn't want to guess, be wrong, and be screwed. Thats all I needed!
After 3 Days of reading and digesting all of the information I could find here, I need help in clearing up a few questions. Hopefully no one will rip into me too bad but here we go!
1)Ive seen an "official" USA wifi update on the forums here, has this actually been DL'd in the US or was it taken from the EU release?
2)For any of us that have been running DJ Steves Honeystreak and have downgraded with NVFLASH back to stock Dell Froyo 2.2.2 been able to just DL official HC 3.2 from dell via factory update methods?
3)In reguards to the service tags not matching on USA wifi models that have been downgraded with NVFLASH back to factory froyo 2.2.2. If a USA factory upgrade is attempted , has there been any problem with that? Specifically related that there is indeed a USA update available.
For some these questions may seem elementary. But with all of the reading that I have done I cant seem to find definitive answers to these questions.
As always thanks in advance for all of the help I find here. And any help would be greatly appreciated.

In regards to question 1, yes the Wifi version for the US has been officially released, however depending upon the build will determine whether or not your tabled has been tagged as for an upgrade.
On question 2, if you completely converted back to stock then you shouldn't have an issue with update as Dell can't see that you were not anything but stock.
On question 3, try doing a system restore to see if the tablet's tag changes to what yours should be, if not a couple of solutions have been posted in the past few days on what you can do to make it match. The update may not even look at the system tag but simply at the build.
Hope I've provided some answers to your questions, if not someone else may come along and add to this thread.

With HBOOT 1.13 you can go straight to the http://Revolutionary.io and gain true S-OFF on your phone. Read the documentation carefully and you shouldn't have any trouble at all.
Hi
Firstly welcome to xda
You're in a good position, as your hboot version is able to be s offed without downgrading
You can go straight to revolutionary.io and s off from there.
Here is the link to the video tutorial I used back in the day
http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method/
Make sure you're using the correct files for our device because in the video they use a HTC sensation (same procedure)
S off is better than htcdev because it allows you more permissions to flash things like radios and kernels easily
Good luck, if you have questions them Google is your friend, if Google doesn't know then ask here

When have you received the incs OTA update from Bell? Me and all the people I know, who have got Bell INCS phones, have yet to receive this update from Bell.

The OP didn't received the OTA. He was asking how to root his current ROM.
If you really want the ICS ROM for your Bell IncS, HTC has released the ICS RUU on the HTCDEV.com/devcenter/downloads site. There you will find a NAM/Canadian version that you can use to upgrade.
Thanks tplblake, but I already knew this. It's just that, I have reread the op post, and see that I had misread his post. I was reading "has" while the op had written "hasnt". I gueas that the missing quote in "hasnt", got me confused.

No you cannot (but you already found that out, didn't you?).

Woah, I came here to find out what was going on with ICS and it looks like this was posted a month ago! :good:
I take it this wouldn't have bell's bloatware also?
It's the Canadian rom without the Bell bloatware. If you need part or all the Bell bloatware, it is available on the playstore.
I updated my Bell IncS to the RUU listed on the HTCdev website and it is great. Superuser also works perfectly to give you root access.
