I concur. No idea how else I might get the update on my rooted and unlocked phone outside of the US...

This. I'm also outside US and still haven't figured a way to update my Captivate.
An update.zip would be very useful.

Is anyone in the possession of a vodafone epf21b passimg file?

I know some posters on these boards have access to some google signed roms. It appears that the newly launched vodafone uk version of nexus one contains the newest build of firmware - epf21b.
I was wondering if anyone has access to this build and wouldn't mind posting it here.
Thanks in advance!
Im sending paul at modaco a backup of my epf21b so he can make a fast boot rom for it. Is this what you want? shall i just send you a copy of it too ?

I would be interested in getting the radio image from this - on Vodafone myself and don't have great 3G coverage so would like to try "their" radio...
Does EPF21B have Chinese locale? If yes, I would like to have the passimg.zip too
Please send to me please!
Any chance of dumping the hboot.img from this ROM?
Does anybody search?

For crying out loud.
That's not passimg.zip! There's only update image which cannot be applied to locked Nexus one

My mistaken assumption: everybody with a Nexus would of course root it.
Sorry, I paid more attention to the actual post than the subject.
Root the damn thing and be done with it.
Sigh.......warranty problem

Ohh man, risk/reward wise it's not that bad... and you could always insure your phone for like $5 a month if you thought the risk was too high. You'd pay $5 a month for a rooted phone wouldn't you?

2.1 Download Mirror

Hey people,
Can someone with a download server post the RUU exe for those of us that want to download from here so that we can get at it there are some screwy things going on at HTC's site prompts for ftp credentials and the like. Any help would be greatly appreciated....if you're worried about crashing I'll gladly take a PM of the link

Is this the leaked version or the one from HTC's site?

They're the same. The leak and the official are identical.

Seriously? It will break root even if you are already rooted and using a custom rom?
WTF?
Also, if it's the same as the leak does that mean bluetooth is still jacked up?

SWEET!!!
God has a Hero
you will loose root forever? Forever means never and I highly doubt that it would never be rooted again.

The likely hood of us actually rooting a 2.1 build is there, but it is going to take a long time. Someone with the know how is going to have to either A. Buy a Hero - unlikely after June 4th or B. A dev will take the dive a load it just to find root.
Eris only has root because of a rom that was leaked with root still in it. They were never able to find an exploit.
Droid guys are actually having to load there 2.0.1 OS back to root the new ones.
It is entirely possible that this phone never finds root again.

Thanks for listing this gunny. New site I've thought about doing, but at least I have a domain and server available.
This is the file from HTC's site downloaded this morning, FYI.
This the Official or the Previous "Offical" leak.

Both are one in the same. MD5's match on both files.
will be mirroring when I get it uploaded as well.
so do i REALLY need th htc sync???
Thanks for the mirrors guys it finally came thru now I'm just trying to download htc sync to my work pc so I can update... I'm not too worried about root, blah, blah. Someone will crack it at some point when there's something better to do with it. I'm putting 2.1 on my phone to hold me over until I can upgrade to the EVO or Nexus One once Sprint get's it .
Thanks again for the guys that stepped up to mirror the host!

Samsung pulled the latest update (that was available via KIES)?

So I read about the update while at college. Came home, backed up my phone, and opened KIES to grab the update (I have used KIES previously for wired tethering, so everything was setup already.) Unfortunately, I got this message:
Model Name: SGH-T959
Current Version: PDA:JFD / PHONE:JFD
The device's version cannot be updated.
I called Samsung Tech support and they told me "There is no software available for Samsung Vibrant. If you download KIES it won't even work for your phone. Any update will be pushed OTA."
Beside the idiotic response of how KIES won't even work for my phone (yes I know it isn't "officially" released for USA phone but that doesn't mean it won't work...), it seems like Samsung has pulled the firmware update. Maybe someone accidentally flipped the switch a bit early?
Okay, although Samsung has pulled the update from Kies, the update itself is still available from http://fus.samsungmobile.com/Phone_...T959TMBJI5_T959UVJI5_T959UVJI5_UV_TMB.zip.enc.
Download it and flash with Odin.
You really thought this deserved its own thread?
I went to publix and bought some eggs. Should I make a new thread?

Thanks. This is helpful if it works. It didn't work for my via kies so odin should work for me if its a tar file. And whoever asked did this deserve its own thread, id say yes because it obviously helped me out. Thank you

You need to use Stuffit to unzip it first. Search for a program that unzips .enc files.
Thanks for posting. This did need a new thread. Ignore the want to be forum police for they obviously have a miserable existence.
How would I flash that file if i have a Mac?
This did need a new THREAD

Old Kies vs. Upgraded Kies
I downgraded Kies to 1.5.1 (i believe) and upgrade magically appeared when running 1.5.3 no upgrade so I dont know if sammy pulled it or not. BTW I prefer egg beaters.
No this doesnt need a new thread, as almost everyone who tried the JI5 update said it was nothing special, and THERE ALREADY IS A THREAD FOR THIS UPDATE lol. The fact that Samsung pulled it also states something. If you want to flash a bad firmware, feel free this doesnt need to be here in its own thread.
I can imagine why, so many people.called samsung, maybe thats why it got removed

I do not think anyone has succeeded yet in rooting froyo using unrevoked. I would not her on it and instead use wildpuzzle that is based on the htc froyo for europe.

Knowing the ability of developers on this forum, I am certain they will do root it.

OK i think so.
that's why smart people instead have flashed the update.zip without HROOT. So Unrevoked remains after FroYo flash
Just had to flash the superuser paket again and superuser is back!
I think that I found a solution...Maybe if you install a shipped ROM and root the phone again will solve the problem...I will give it a try..

[Q] OTA update in Australia?

Does anyone know if and when we are getting the sense 3 update in Australia?

Optus? It's already been rolled out I believe. Virgin's still waiting. Check on whirlpool to confirm.
S-OFF and root, then just flash Android Rev

Nothing for me too. Does anyone know if the update has reached Singapore (SingTel)? It has been a month already. Could it be the fact that my phone was recently resetted? Quite anxious for now :s
Thanks!
