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.

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!

I just bought T Mobile G1 2 days ago, and I want to update it from 1.1 to 1.5
But I have different phone information from the tutorial that I read, so I'm still using 1.1 version.
This is the description:
Baseband version
62.33.20.08u_1.22.12.29
Kernel version
2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0
[email protected] #6
Build number
123099
I have no idea what RC number that I'm using.
Please Help mem I really want to update this phone to access some new application.
Thank you.
Are you rooted and in the US? If it is a stock US phone 1.5 should come OTA.
If you don't want to wait, see this: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-install-android-15-cupcake-us-version

Nope, I'm at Germany. OTA?! What is that?! Sorry, I new at this.
Is it the process save?Because I'm afraid it is only for US or UK.
OTA = over the air. Basically your phone service provider will automatically send you the update in a few days.
However, I am not knowledgeable about Germany, and don't know what OS version is used there, how OTA updates work, and most of all whether or not that link is a US only version (99% sure it is - especially because the link says "US version").
Good luck finding help.
you would probably just be better off rooting and getting the newest ROM.
here is the information i found most useful for me when i first rooted.
here are the links to Cyanogen's stable & experimental roms, i've used both and i personally love the experimental version.
hope this helps.
Use THIS guide. It is based on the one linked by davidchill but it has pics, updated links, changed wording for better clarification, and a few steps added to avoid confusion. Also when you are done with that there is a program in post #2 that will walk you through partitioning and do all the math for you.
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
Hey guys, my friend has a T-Mobile locked Galaxy S (which he doesn't want to unlock) and he is still on 2.1, I could've sworn froyo had been released but he is saying kies is showing that no update is available, I never had this issue when I used to have my galaxy s, being unlocked meant I was always using the latest fw's. Just looking for some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance. On an unrelated note I will be rejoining android tomorrow or Tuesday, I have now sold my iPhone 4 in favour of the desire HD. P.S can a mod please delete my other thread titled "Has group been released for T-Mobile UK users?" as my stupid iPhone 4 renamed froyo to group, thanks.
Yes it has.

He may need to update to the latest Kies to get it "Kies 2"
If he cannot then details of his SGS's region and current software would be useful to get an answer.

Thanks for the response, have told him to try reinstalling lies, if no joy then I will get his current rom details. thanks.
Good evening for you all.
I'm an absolute newcomer to Huawei, as I had Motorola devices since 2014 :silly: I hope to adapt fast to this new device
For now, I want to start slowly. I found the device I bought is currently on Android 5.0.1, and found there is a way to update it to Android 6.0 officially. However, the tutorials what I could find on internet went into a death path, as the websites or files doesn't exist.
I'm currently using an ALE-L21, Compilation ALE-L21C40B181. I found there are differences between compilations and things like that, so... can someone bring me a hand with this? :victory:
Thanks in advance
Note: I found the phone is already Rooted. Curious thing.
