[Q] OTA 2.3.3 update

I have been waiting since I heard Google was sending on the gingerbread update to the nexus one's. However I still haven't received mine yet nor update 2.2.2.
Under settings /about phone:-
- Android 2.2.1
- Build: FRG38D
- Hboot: 0.35.0017
- Radio: 5.12.00.08
Any ideas? I have tried manually updating but didn't work for me.
Many thanks,
Luigi,

Manually update to 2.2.2. Then manually update to 2.3.3.

Also if you need to be running stock 2.2.1. I suspect your not due to fact you have 5.12 radio. What rom are you running?

FRG38D aint it?

You're not running stock Google ROM. You're most probably running Vodafone modified firmware. In that case, you won't ever get Google OTA, you'll get Vodafone's - which isn't released yet, and who knows when will it be.
To install Gingerbread, you need to revert your phone to stock Google version. Read the Wiki and see, how. Look for "unroot/restore" guide.
You can also just root your phone and install one of the lightly modified stock GB ROMs (like Geo411's) from Development forum.

I'd say it's safe to just go on and update as notified. So straight to 2.3.3. That's what you're going to do anyway, right?

yes it is, thanks =)

Thanks for your help everyone! Finally got 2.3.3 =D
I'm loving it. Anyone know how I can come across the new version of nexus LWP?
Thanks

[Q] rooting

Hello all,
I've been reading and downloading from xda for over a year now (sgs- darky's rom mainly), and this is my FIRST POST!
I know i can find my answer just by looking but i really wanted to post for the first time so here's my question- My tab is in the post (got it from ebay as i'm a pauper and can't afford it new, or the 8.9 or 10.1) and obviously want to root it straight away. I've seen that some are using z4 root but my sgs won't accept this method, can i be sure it'll work?
take care fellow "tabbers"
PS the doorbell just rang and it's here! *wets pants and logs off*

What firmware version is it on? Please post complete information from *#1234#
until we know that we cannot advice you.....

it's 2.2 froyo build number FROYO.XWJJ7
baseband P1000XXJK5
KERNEL 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
PDA- P1000XWJJ7
PHONE- P1000XXJK5
CSC- P1000CPWJJ5
I need to get gingerbread (at least) on this thing straight away! Or any cool roms you can recommend?
How do i find out if it's GSM or CDMA? i'm in the UK... That is probably a really stupid question, but i'm a stupid guy... A stupid guy who loves android and wants to learn more!
Any links to the right places would be really appreciated

First you're not stupid. You're just new and learning.
Second your tab judging by its firmware is gsm european tab.
Third you can root using superoneclick root.
Fourth. Head to the development section and you will find alot of great roms (or click on my sig if you're interested in overcome). JUST BE SURE TO READ ENTIRE GUIDES AND STUDY THEM BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING.

So many people get themselves into trouble by not reading instructions or skipping ahead.
Easy to get yourself into trouble, can be VERY hard getting out...

Thank you for all the help, most kind I'm at work now so will try some bits tomorrow, managed to get rooted before leaving tho

Your tab is rooted already. Look at the kernal version. In your apps you will see something called Superuser. Tap it. If its there and opens you are rooted.

That's what really confused me, the kernel said root on it, but no super user was there and none of my purchased root apps could aquire root.... so I used super one click as advised and hey presto! Still confused as to why it said that on my kernel tho...

Someone tried to return the tab to stock. The busybox was probably there too. Anyway, you are good now. What's next?

Thanks all, I installed the overcome gold rom last night and all is well
Just out of interest as i'm un-learned, how can you tell if the bootloader is signed? (As far as I can tell) it hasn't affected the rom installation... could it?
Thanks all for the support!

[Q] htc one root to google editon noob

Hello,
I have an htc one from o2. I want to root it to google edition. Iam a noob at this so can someone show me the way or links to a tutorial please.
Is it worth doing? whats the advantages of a rooted phone? sorry for the questions but i have come from iphone to android so iam new to all this.
thanks

My advice is keep studying, install the sdk and get good at adb and comfortable! Once you're ready and able use a guide for your phone and read it a couple times before you start. Most importantly don't stop any operations you attempt in mid stream follow through and don't reboot until you know it's all good. Hope it's as fun for you as it was for me.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4

thanks for that, but that means nothing to me.Whats the advantages etc. Is it worth it. i can follow tutorials etc. just need to know what the best guide is etc

If you don't know what the advantages of a rooted phone are and what root means, why are you trying to do it? To be honest I don't even understand your post - do you want to root your rom, have a rooted google edition rom or fully convert to a google edition phone?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

sorry for the confusion. Like i say im new to this.
I dont know the difference, i know rooting that you can put custom roms on it, but whats the difference and best, do fully make it google edition or put a custom rom on?

First off, you don't need to be rooted to flash a custom rom - all you need is a custom recovery after you unlock your bootloader. A good guide for noobs to read is the one by mike1986 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
If I were you, I'd stick to just flashing a google edition rom to see if you like it, rather than doing a full conversion. This way you can easily get back to stock. This rom is 4.3 Google edition and already rooted:

Read the guide above carefully though. Especially the parts about backing up stock, or you'll be back here later asking for help..

[Q] Hello people! Little help would be thankful

Yes, I need a guide. I used SGH-I337 (AT&T Galaxy S4) with Foxhound ROM and got a new HTC One. Since everything is so different, I need help. I looked around this forum for two days but I still can't understand the anything. I got this T-mobile HTC One 4.4.2 and the phone is basically pure stock. I have no idea about anything, so i'd like to get a straight, step-by-step guide to flash Venom One 4.4.2 ROM. I went to T-mobile HTC One forum, but there weren't so much activities and i ended up asking for help here. Also, an unbrick method will be very helpful just in case. If someone could help me step by step, it will be very thankful. I don't mean to bother people by not reading and asking first, but it is so hard for me to understand.

Read here first mate: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45432325&postcount=2
Basically 3 steps to flashing custom roms...
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Install Custom Recovery (I use TWRP)
3. Flash Custom Rom.
How to do all these things are covered in the guides I've linked above.
Much better to read two or three times then stuff up and end up with a handsome paper weight.
Good luck.

I'll just add my 2 cents
Make a nandroid backup of your phone before flashing a custom rom. Also make a copy of that backup on your computer in case you wipe your phone.
Use at least TWRP 2.6.3.3 for 4.4 and higher roms.

Another question. Is there a Cyanogenmod installer for 4.4.2?
I saw a one click kinda cyanogenmod installer that automatically unlocks bootloadr and installs cyanogenmod.

It's not going to unlock the bootloader of this phone. You need to do that using HTCdev.com. See the previous links.

Can someone help me get the latest version of CF Turbo for 5.1?

I'm very confused because I downloaded a rooted 5.1 image and I don't remember which one. On top of that I have no idea where to find out what version I flashed. Also when I go to the developer page I see 2 topics. Is there anyone that is on top of whats going on?
I wanna try out that V4A and also have free tethering as I'm paying 20$ as is (grandfathered unlimited data on Verizon)

Best advice I can give you is to go back to the thread and read carefully. Everything you need is there in the OP but if in doubt read everything. I am running the non V4A version and its solid. It seems the V4A version still has some problems.

But theres 2 topics, which one do I read. Also since Im on 5.1 rooted that means whichever one I decide to use, all I have to do is download and flash with mofo right? Pretty much the same for rooting 4.4 and just slightly different from upgrading to 5.1

Yes if already on 5.1 rooted then flash with mofo should be all. Read the thread in the Development section
