I've Read that someone, within the forums had purchased a shift with 4.1.1, Can someone Validate this for me ? should we be expecting an update sometime soon for the users whom are on 2.3.4 ?

It was rooted and running 4.1.1, not storebought with stock 4.1.1 rom, unfortunately.

Yup that's the one. I guess i jumped to the question hearing 4.1.1 None the less .Anyone thinks they will ever roll out with another update or its officially done via HTC's End .

I read this on a thread here somewhere, a guy had spoken to a friend who worked for HTC and he said that they would not be releasing ICS for the shift. Based on this, I think its pretty safe to say that HTC will not be rolling out a JB update, sad as it is. Your best bet is to root and flash a custom JB rom, several of which you can find over in the development forums

Yeah they kinda made a half assed attempt at closing the exploit in the last OTA, I wouldn't expect any more updates from HTC for the Shift, period.

I was in my local BestBuy and surprised to see this phone still available for purchase. I would expect HTC to be planning an update to at least ICS since they are still selling these phones.
Gingerbread was good when this phone came out two years ago, but way out dated now to expect customers will be happy with it starting a new two year contract.

Yeah my HTC MyTouch 4G Slide is still on GB and will never see official ICS, but thanks to everyone on xda I've ported 3 JellyBean ROMS for it.
Since leaving the Shift I've moved from Sense to AOSP and wouldn't have it any other way.

Since offically, HTC says the our shifts have reached EOL, don't expect many updates from them at all. And besides, we actually have an amazing 4.x community on the shift. I mean, we aren't the SIII or anything, but there are a handful of ICS and JB roms. Pick one and flash it, then you could just act like the phone came that way

Well, 2Q 2011 ended 11 days ago. I'll believe it when I see it. Actually, I won't ever see it because I'm now using Virtuous Unity. Hot stuff I tell you. And it doesn't have all the pre-loaded crapware T-Mobile adds into the ROM.
The Nexus One spoiled me. I tried to keep my MT4G stock as long as possible. I'm surprised I made it 6 months on the stock MT4G ROM. Once you root and flash a gazillion different ROMs, stock is definitely and simply boring.

Of course not the hardware on that thing is the same as Sensation....We get Espresso, check out the leaked GB ROM for our phones, that's what we're getting. There's a doubleshot rom from the MT4GS here too if you wanna taste of 3.0 on that phone. Ginger for us will look just like froyo, no fancy 3D effects for older single core phones.

You are correct. The Gingerbread leak from early May looks identical to 2.2.1. The only big change/addition was the inclusion of the Quick Settings tab in the notification pulldown. I believe the leaked build had Sense 2.1. Pretty much going to have to rely on XDA if you want Sense 3.0 on your MT4G.

I've been testing the Gingerbread update and was going to post some screenshots, but apparently I need to have at least 8 posts before I can do so per the rules of the forums here.
I don't want to spam the forums here to hit some limit, but when I hit the magical 8 posts, I'll submit a post with images of the update.
So if i were to unroot to check out the update when its released i would have to root a completly different way? I had to gfree cause of the locked bootloader on the mt4g that i bought. Since my phone has the "bad emmc" I was thinking that using stock for a couple months til the phone dies would be a safe gamble.
What gingerbread update your talking about? We haven't got an ota, just the leak.

I know what the thread is about. You may wanna read my question again.
Again, the question is whether joedonh is from tmo and thats how he is testing the upgrade or whether he is working on leaked version which everyone here has access to. Later is most likely not the case but just want to confirm.
Some Tmo employees have been selected to test the official GB rom. I imagine it is just as bad as the froyo build. it is still a "stock" rom so i am sure it is full of bloatware...

If he is an employee with T-mobile then he'd be breaking the NDA that they have to sign when getting phones or updates before the public. It's also against T-mobile policy. I wouldn't take the chance of it getting back to T-mobile and losing my job to show off a screen shot.

This will take a longer time for sure, as HTC is still busy to release ICS
Jellybean dev kits are supposed to be released mid july. At least that's what this source says: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/06/27/google-announces-android-41-jelly-bean/
But it may be a while before we get a working ROM.
Given the time it took the CM team to release CM9 RC1, I'd say 6 months!

HTC says they "don't yet have an announcement" for Jelly Bean on existing devices.
... I can't post a link because <10 posts, but there is an article on pocket-lint.com
That will only lead to an anemic SDK ROM. sure it will show us the cool new features, but I wouldn't expect much. I wonder how long it takes to hit AOSP

Now that I'm tempted to buy a media device to have the latest and greatest software, I can see how fragmentation can actually work for Google because now more and more people will look to buy nexus devices.
the main reason i got a HTC phone is because unlike Samsung's strange choice in hardware it dosnt take 5 months to port a fast stable release from the MOD team unlike HTC

I have a Nexus as one of my devices and 4.1 is pretty damn nice, but we'll get Jellybean with a new version of Sense. I had Touchwiz JB on my GS3 and it still wasn't as great as my ICS One X, feature wise.
All the articles I"ve read have said just before Christmas for At&t for the One X jelly bean update. I would love to see it in early November but the reality of it is that AT&T is horrible at releasing updates quickly so I'm not getting too excited. But if rogers updates earlier than AT&T we will all be able to enjoy it thanks to the Dev's here

Any bets on if it will make in to us in November?
I see some of the international one x phones are starting to get it, I am curious how long it will be before we see it on the one XL.
The folks on AT&T and Rogers (like myself) probably won't see an OTA until at least the new year as both carriers are notorious for slooooow updates. (Hard to port all that bloat I guess), but there are other carries in Germany and Asia that have the same model so I hoping that one of them pushes it out so or devs can work their magic.
So who wants to start placing bets on when we will see a 4.1.2 RUU for the one xl?

Currently running CM10, as the speed and multitasking are way better. On the other hand, I get way better battery life with sense based roms, and the music experience is a little better.
I am hoping that the One X JB update brings the same speed as CM10 with the battery life and beats of sense.
