vincent Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Note: Only original myTouch 3G devices will receive the update at this time. myTouch 3G 3.5mm jack, myTouch Fender Limited Edition, and myTouch 3G Slide devices will receive Froyo at a later date. It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard anything regarding the myTouch3G and future Android updates. A lot of you owners have moved on to bigger and better things but for those of you still holding on, or holding out for something better than I hope I have your attention. Beginning tomorrow, that’s right, TOMORROW T-Mobile and HTC will begin an OTA rollout of Android 2.2 The update includes a number of benefits, including a new home screen experience, Exchange email integration and the addition of the Faves gallery. The update should run between now and October 25th as a staggered rollout so don’t be upset (yeah I know the comments will show otherwise) if you don’t receive it tomorrow. This is great news for myTouch3G owners and I’m sure this will breathe plenty of new life into your phone! Primary Improvements Included with This Update • New Fully Integrated Exchange Client ◦ Improved security: Numeric pin and alpha-numeric password options have been added to unlock the device. Exchange administrators can enforce password policy across devices. ◦ Remote wipe: In the event a device is lost or stolen, Exchange administrators can remotely reset the device to factory defaults to secure data. ◦ Exchange calendars: Exchange calendars are now supported in the Calendar application. ◦ Auto-discovery: With just a user name and password users can easily set up and/or sync an Exchange account (available for Exchange 2007 and higher). ◦ Global Address Lists look-up: This functionality is now available in the E-mail application, enabling users to auto-complete recipient names from an entire directory. • Faves ◦ Faves Gallery gives customers quick access to the 20 people who matter most. ◦ Customers can scroll through their Faves Gallery and instantly see the most recent communication from their top 20 Faves – calls, texts, emails, instant messaging, and social networking updates – and respond in a flash. • New Home Screen Features ◦ Home screen Tips widget provides tips on how to configure the home screen with shortcuts and widgets and how to make use of multiple home screens. ◦ Market widget lets you keep on top what’s hot on Android Market, showing featured apps right on the home screen. ◦ Live wallpapers are available on Android Market, such as Aquarium, Google Maps and many others. ◦ Phone, All Apps and Browser now have dedicated shortcuts on the home screen, making it easy to access them from any of the five home screen panels. • Improved Communication Features ◦ Gmail app enhancements: ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Include quoted text from the body of an e-mail message Navigate quickly using on-screen previous/next buttons Identify e-mails using colored labels See inline images in messages ◦ Calendar app now supports multiple Google and Exchange accounts ◦ Google Talk app lets users search for buddies from the Search key ◦ Google Voice app now uses Inbox Synchronization so new messages are received in a matter of seconds ◦ Quickcontact is now available in Gmail, Google Talk, and Google Voice, right from your device. Users tap on a contact image to access various ways to reach that person, such as call, SMS, e-mail, etc. • Other: Improvements to the camera and camcorder, ability to add multiple languages to the keyboard, enhancements to Google Maps, YouTube app, Facebook app, and Twitter app. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincent Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 After 9 days of waiting ive found the links to the Official OTA files from googles servers: Step1. download this, and rename it to update.zip and place it on the root of your SD card: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/tmobile_opal/894fb8631db9.hboot-1.33.0013.opal.zip boot into recovery after powering off >hold down home key when powering back on, then proess Home+power when you see the screen with the box and arrow poting to the phone then choose "apply update.zip" the phone will reboot several times ( you're flashing the new hboot ) once rebooted, download this, rename to update.zip, and place it on root of your SD card (remove the first from before). https://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/tmobile_opal/e059adc603a3.signed-opal-ota-60505.e059adc6.zip Flash in recovery like the first one in the steps above. your MT3g will reboot several times once rebooted, you'll have Froyo 2.2 \0/ This is for the original MT3G phone.

vincent Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 No root needed, these is the official final OTA files, after flashing the 2nd one, and rebooting, you'll then get an OTA for the market, just install and you're good to go.
