Stupid thing! :( please help me!! - G1 Android Development

Help me please!!!
i just unrooted my htc magic vodafone 32b and installed the official mytouch build from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
but after i installed i saw that it was android 1.5!!!
so i dug into settings and checked for systemupdates. but it says im up to date!! how do i get the mytouch android 1.6 now?
i live in the netherlands and has a vodafone magic 32B.
please help me!
EDIT: okay i have tmobile official android 1.6 update.
but now when i try to search for system updates it immediatly displays im up to date.
i think it wont search for updates because it displays INSTANT im up to date.
with and without a data connection it says im up to date.
is this normal? or should it says 'searching for update' or something like that instant of im up to date??
Thanks

ITs prolly not very hard, but you can wait a bit since it seams that mytouch 3g gets a froyo official update tomorrow.

That only applies to the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, not the Vodafone HTC Magic.

It seems to me that what ROM you have installed is not what matters. What matters is who your carrier is. It's T-Mobile that is pushing out this update, and since you aren't a T-Mobile subscriber, your phone won't receive the update.

yea so he will download a fixed update already rooted, just give it a few days...

but i installed the OFFICIAL TMOBILE ROM (android 1.6)
+ i now got a vodafone sim card in it, but at home i have a tmobile sim card.
so would it work if i put tmobile sim in it ??
but probably tmobile wont look up to your simcard, only to the tmobile rom, wich i just got installed.

But as he mentioned in his OP, he's specifically looking for the OTA update.

The update is a service provided by T-Mobile to T-Mobile customers that have the T-Mobile branded myTouch 3G phones. It seems to me that unless you have a T-Mobile account and a T-Mobile branded myTouch, your phone will not receive the update (I'm sure they can tell what phone you have, regardless of what ROM is installed). Best of luck to you though!

Well i guess he will have to adapt

It is not instant. The last time I had to unroot to send a phone back ( bad camera) it took about 2 days for the phone to see an update available. Just be patient. I do doubt you will get the OTA froyo where you are but here on XDA some one will have it posted shortly after it pushes.

You will wake up one morning and you will have a notification. I think it has to do it through 3g or edge, I don't think it will download through wifi but I'm not sure about that.

I have ATT, and with the stock 1.0 android, i got all the ota updates. it was over edge and it was freakin slow, but i got them all. you don't have to have tmobile to get ota updates, just the rom.

Still no ota for me..

I still haven't got the update.. I tried *#*#checkin#*#* and nothing..

worked perfectly. thanks bro
I was not getting mine either. I called T-Mobile today and they said my IMEI number was still showing for my G2. I gave them my IMEI number and within 2 hours I had the update. She also said even though they don't have the capability to push the OTA update, she said the tech support people have more options and might be able to push it.
I called T-Mo today as my wife and I both bought a MT4G. No OTA 5 hours later. Android Support said you need to make at least 1 phone call to register the phone on the network then it will be scheduled to receive the update within 48 hours. Waiting
I am the opposite as you guys. I have the update waiting, but I refuse to download and install it because I read in another thread that it will give Tmo control of the WiFi hotspot and tether and can charge you after the 14th I believe. And I like my free WiFi hotspot. I don't remember which thread it was though. So I will look into it further.
I want the ota so I can get a full root going...always the wifi tether project if they really do lock something down

My phone was not showing up on my T-Mobile account, thanks for that tip! Hopefully I will get my update soon, just got my phone few hours ago.
Those of you who are waiting on your OTAs, remember to run aLogcat before you download/install to help out those who haven't gotten it yet! I'm running mine now.

that was my post... and unfortunatly t-mo will still be able to charge for hotspot use regardless after the 14th... i dont know if i misspoke (mistyped) or we had some sort of miscommunication...
install your update, root, then wifi tether for free to your hearts content
Has anyone received their update since root has been achieved? Would they pull the update because of this?

update 1.45.531.1

so I went into my settings I checked for htc software update today and it said that I have 1 ready , so I now have "upgrade version 1.45.531.1"
I haven't had long to play around with it but I'm 1 of those people who definitely had a death grip issue on my wifi, and it seems fixed now.
I'm in the same spot as usual and I can grip it with both hands in landscape mode and will drop signal but it won't completely lose like it used to

Is this the same update just with 2 different names I'm really confused
Just got the update but I will not install it over my S-off, CWR, & Root. Instead I'll just flash a 2.3.4 cooked rooted Rom over in development!

The phone's firmware # is 1.45.531.1.
Part of that includes updating the OS to Android 2.3.4. That's where the 2 diff numbers are coming from.

Question:
I have a Sensation brought in the UK via an Ebay supplier which was £80 cheaper, new and boxed but I find it has an Asian ROM 1.35.707.1 also had free maps for various Asian countries in the box.
If I update this to the standard UK OTA 1.35.401.1 will this then update to the latest version vai the off air update, or does HTC use other means to identify the orgin of the phone and then apply the update?
I am probably going to try this route first and then update to the latest release later if and when HTC release it official for download.
Cheers,
Ant

You probably won't be able to update to anything except another asian rom via ota. You could try flashing an ruu if you don't want to root, but it depends what your cid is.

Ice cream sandwich update!!!

Hey guys,
I need to update to manually update my nexus S to 4.0.3 with the available update (128MB) file. My main concern is that i dont know which version i have (means whether it's I9020T or I9020A etc.) I bought the unlocked GSM version from Best Buy US on the very day of release during my visit last year and the box had T-mobile SIM in it as well. Currently I'm not in US and my Nexus is running stock 2.3.6 unrooted with baseband: I9020XXKF1 and build no: GRK39F. Now please can someone tell me, can i go on with the update through the process mentioned here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-gsm-nexus-s-ice-cream-sandwich
And will it give me that "recovery backlight" or "no service" or any like bug, experienced by many of the users????
The version should be on the back of the battery. Or on the box it came in (on a tag with bar codes if I remember correct).
Then just find the proper OTA for you here on xda and follow the procedure you posted.
Oh and I don't know about others but I never had a major problem. Just a couple of times the android OS kept the phone awake for a long time.

Yeah there was a Tmobile sim in the box and I9023 is for the SLCD models, right? And i'm sure that i have an SAMOLED version. So should i go on with the update??? I am tired of waiting for the updates but i'm reluctant because of those recovery and no radio after the update bugs.

The code is not on the battery. It is on the phone, UNDER the battery. I.e. remove the battery, and check the samsung sticker.

I updated Manually after I revived the OTA update but wouldn't install (my guess is due to Google throwing on the brakes) and have had no issue. If you Download the OTA zip from XDA you will have to re-root as the offical update will lock the phone again.

Interesting I came here on the same mission, to find out if it was safe to update mine.
I removed the battery and it borrowed my Dads glasses to read the label, it definitely says modelno: I9020A
I didn't actually buy mine, it was acquired by purchasing at work for a developer project, but its unlocked, didn't come with a SIM and I've used it with my t-mobile SIM back at home in the US, but I'm currently using it with great results, including USB tethering with a pre-pay O2[UK] SIM.
So which version/model does this make my phone?

It'll be a different baseband. I don't know why it wouldn't work. You said you have a backup, just try it out. Maybe you can confirm if it works for other Rogers users.

There aren't any flashable roms made from the new stock ICS, so I don't think you'll be able to simply find another baseband and still use the rom. I think you'll have to wait a few more days for that, someone will release a flashable rom.

They likely will. EU was supposed to get the ICS update on the Optimus 3D. The Thrill 4G wasn't even listed for an update, yet it got it first.
As for getting rid of bloatware, I got rid of mine with Titanium Backup Pro. I removed all the AT&T junk, along with the 3D games, Kindle, and Yellow Page without an issue.
