CONFIRMED : HTC Tattoo NOT getting official 2.1 update - Click General

hi guys!
HTC Italy had confirmed recently via twitter that bad news (anyway, we expect it)
LINK : http://twitter.com/HTCItalia/status/17429963594
It says that 2.1 update for HTC Tattoo is not planned just now, but really it says that we never see an official update from HTC. Bet that HTC engineers have encountered problems making work camera and radio...
Our only hope is in our awesome "RomCookers" (such as fyodor, ikxdf, jacob and much more). i will donate as soon as possible for me, the work of those men is fabulous!!

Does´n´t mean that much anyway. I´d rather have my rom from the devs here than HTC. Take for ex. the original froyo from HTC to Desire. It´s very buggy. In contrast the opendesire rom from AdamG is the nicest and cleanest rom I´ve ever seen.

Maybe 2.2 ...

No way... (Why would they bother with 2.2 if they haven't even lifted a finger for 2.1...)

I think that we won't see an update foot the tattoo, ever!
You can see the issues Htc has to face with sense and the hardware in the Kiljacken-Rom - overclocking made it useable, but still you are permanently running low on RAM. SenseUi in my opinion is the biggest problem and Htc isn't going to throw it over board just to give us eclair or froyo...

I'm sure HTC considers the Tattoo as an obsolete device already.

Notice i said android 2.X not 2.1
And she told about 2.1 .. i dont know why she went for the2.1 but its okay.

I've asked 2 times, first was about 2.1-2.2 update.. answer was June 17th 2010
Hi Daniél, Thank you for contacting us regarding HTC Tattoo. Unfortunetely there is no planned Android 2.1 - 2.2 upgrade for the Tattoo. You are welcome to contact us again for further assistance. Best regards, Elsa H. HTC
2nd time I asked I mentioned that now when the newer phones like Desire got it's 2.2 and the older Hero got its 2.1 update, is there any plan for ANY update for the Tattoo?
Answer was August 6th 2010
Thank you for contacting us. Regarding your enquiry about Android 2.2: We cannot comment on what devices may or may not get an update just yet.

So what i need for bluetooth!? to work?
I have to root my phone?
I also cant acess wifi connection that requires securew2 login with TKIP

We, Russian users, started spamming HTC for 2.1, but we got the only reply that we won't get 2.1 because of perfomance lowerage. But such words they said about Hero, but the users fought for 2.1 and got it! Now, I think, it's our time. Yes, there is Wildfire with 2.2, but they CAN release the Tattoo firmware 2.1, they just don't WANT to do it. I ask all of you to join our war against HTC marketologists! We MUST get 2.1!!!

Ok, I'm in too... so, what's the plan? How to fight for 2.1 upgrade?

There's nothing you can do with fighting for an upgrade. HTC doesn't want to. You have to accept that. If you really want 2.x go to the development section of the forum. You will find a few roms there. They are not working perfectly (Camera and FM don't work and some minor bugs) but at least they work. If you want to do something for a perfect tattoo 2.x rom you have to help the developers in building it. If you're not skilled in developing yourselves you can help them as testers.

Documents & Reader Tab Unlikely from Official HTC ROM

I have just received a message back from HTC after I asked if there were going to be Reader & Document tabs in any upcoming ROM upgrades.
Here is the response;
Dear Richard Thank you for your enquiry about ROM features. At the moment we are working together with Microsoft to bring new features in place in the next upgrades and upcoming products but we cannot include the current options included in some mobile networks as this is part of their exclusiveness and brand agreements. Please fell free to subscribe to HTC eClub at http://www.htc.com/www/eclub/ so that you can receive upcoming news regarding your device or follow us on www.twitter.com/htc If there's any other enquiries, please let me know by responding using the link provided and I will be happy to check for you.

Nice, those conversations. Always something to interpret in one way or the other. Let us assume the HD2 doesn't get an upgrade for WM 7, then what? They cannot provide any information about that because of enclosure agreements? No, that's impossible So..... HD2 definitely gets an upgrade LOL
6.5.x maybe

Because of the 'With HTC Sense'? Yeah that would be failure. Maybe just wright the word 'NOT' with a pen. 'With HTC Sense. NOT' xD
Anyway, from what I am reading it is clear that they are thinking about what to do with the HD2 regarding WinMo7. I think HTC will make some kind of new 'Sense' interface for WM7. MicroSoft just wants to sell the first Windows Phone 7 Series without to much 'Sense/TouchWiz' etc. To give the HTC HD2 owners a custom WM7 version with some kind of Sense on top would not effect them that much I think. And, again, we HD2 owners would be a good 'test' for them to see how Sense + WM7 works out.
Or else, during a meeting somebody goes 'you know what, let's just stop thinking about it. We are giving them 6.5.3. That's enough. The e-mail guys will get payed double this month to reply to all the hate messages'.

For example finally fw version without annoying bugs I hope.
But anyway I really feel like something is cooking because for our region there is still no 1.66 version almost month after released everywhere else.
1.Maybe because it makes no sense for them to port the bugfixes for our region when some bigger upgrade is coming (like 6.5.x?) or …
2. they are just do not care about our stupid problems to use their devices.
I hope it is No.1

Or not considering MS requires the OSs' home screen to be intact bar any OEM customization. Basically that means the screen as we've seen it will stay as is but HTC will likely add custom 'live tile's such as weather or stocks and change the 'default' colors.

Oh I tell you, I was crazy once... didn't care about the root. Just wanted Android 2.1. I wanted it now. But then, in a moment of enlightenment, I listened to shadow_fi. And when HTC announced that there will be no further updates past 2.1 to Hero (at least CDMA, but I guess it applies to every other Hero), it was obvious that we shall not go down that evil OTA path... and so I flashed VillainROM 10.3.2 and hence my Hero will live happily ever after.
Just spoke with HTC Support and they said Orange and 3 OTA is delayed but by how much they would not say

That is becoming less and less likely with more people moving to other devices, if you flash this 2.1 chances are you will never be able to try new things like a froyo release

2.2 FroYo Update Question

Hello,
As (hopefully) the froyo update is coming soon, I was wondering if I will need to back up my apps?
Will a major update essentially wipe my phone?
Also I use the stock HTC backup, but how do you restore using this? I have had problems in the past using a different sim card and loosing all of my scenes / homescreen layouts.
hanging out for the update bad! (hoping for better battery life, speed and UI polish)
EDIT: Guess not....
"The Android 2.2 (FroYo) update for HTC Desire will start rolling out across Europe this weekend. As well as including the complete set of Android 2.2 features, the update will contain a few special additions of our own through the latest iteration of HTC Sense. The update will provide 720p video capture, HTC's App Share widget, as well as our enhanced HTC Caller ID, and improved multi-language keyboard. Also, through the update, HTC Sync will allow HTC Desire users to sync their music with iTunes.
HTC Desire users will be notified that the over-the-air update is available to download when their phone automatically checks for software updates. The update won't delete any of the phone's content. However, due to the size of the update, we would advise using a WiFi connection to download it wherever possible to avoid additional data charges.
This update will initially roll out to unlocked HTC Desire handsets. Operator specific versions of the update are undergoing testing and we expect to make them available in several weeks' time."
The recent news about FroYo coming this weekend all relates to Desires... anyone have any news on the Legend?
I doubt that the Legend will get the update at the same time as the Desire, the Legend will probably get it later. Correct me if i'm wrong though. Or maybe someone can Email to HTC Europe and clarify with them about this.
the fact that HTC hasn't mentioned the legend at all in their talk of 2.2 and setting a date for the desire etc tells me that it's def not going to happen at the same time, or very soon, unless they just thought they wouldn't bother telling anyone in the case of the legend
True.
Its not looking good eh!

A Dutch translation via online translator equates to:

Thanks for translating! Not the good news we hoped for but at least its encouraging...
Great news overall...just relax & wait
But one question..i'm so excited about froyo..but i know we wont get flash ..but is there any way to make it work somehow?hmm
I agree with sian88, but I'm guessing he's trying to imply that it is not going to be long before the Legend get's an OTA Update (I'm Dutch too).
Be patient! I hope there will be some new stuff in Sense though.
I thought instead of waiting Id go for a full rooting and 'hack' 2.2 on.
It is far from straightforward, i got stuck at heaps of points, but i got there in the end.
Is there a way to restore you phone like in an iphone style where there whole phone/apps are restored seamlessly?
I will say to all of you hanging out for 2.2, its not that different and (surprisingly) i miss some of the HTC sense stuff on the 'plain' rom im on.

[Q] Need a ROM recommendation for my used Saphire

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a used Saphire (a Vodafone branded Magic, 32B, from a german) and i want to upgrade it's ROM before i give it to my girl (it's going to be her first smartphone ).
I was wondering if anyone can recommend me a good ROM for it. I definitely want HTC Sense to be on there, and if possible i'd prefer a 2.2 Froyo ROM.
It must be stable without bugs, cause my girl don't know squat about smartphones and i can't be there all the time to troubleshoot.
I've been looking around a bit in the development thread, but as i'm an old time WM user i'm completely unfamiliar with ROM flashing on Androids.
Can anyone give me a good recommendation for a stable ROM with Sense?
I'd really appreciate any tips

funny, but when i saw this thread, i noticed 97 views (in other words, 97 times people looked at the thread) but no replies...
probably because dont really think there's anything such as a "stable" modded rom
sure, many are quite stable but no modded rom (imho) is ever going to be 100%, fully, undeniably bug-proof
and adding in the sense requirement, well, good luck..
if it was me, i'd use cyanogenmod 6.1, or just stick to the stock 2.2 you can get from yer carrier
in fact, if i was giving it to someone else who cant do maintenance on their rom, i'd definitely stick with stock
I have recently bought a Vodafone UK Magic (32B Board), yesterday did a massive software rebuild on it and now have a stable Froyo 2.2 (Gio's Mod). Check out this thread for details (look at the last page for details of my setup before and after upgrade).

You've got a good point there with a stock ROM. If set it up for her with it's stock ROM (1.6) for now.
And there is a stock 2.2 ROM for the sapphire (which wouldn't require rooting and alike)? This one 's got a 32B board (GSM/Europe).
Stock 2.2 would also be great performancewise i guess.

But as of today it seems the question was unnecessary, because Vodafone today announced that they're going to roll out 2.2.1 to all their HTC Magic users in the UK and the rest of europe!

Mine just updated itself yesterday: the notification for the bootloader update came in around noon, and after that it updated to 2.2.1.
It's a great update....first few minutes it renders the phone a bit slow. After taking it some good use it becomes very snappy
I suspect however that you need a stock ROM to be updatable, and judging from your sig you ain't got that running...
thanks

Ah ok, its true I'm running a custom Froyo ROM right now and loving it. Don't know if I should try the Vodafone update out. Is it really worth it? Hows the vodafone mods on it, I hope they haven't overdone it.
If you've already got Froyo, then i don't see a reason for updating.
They've been very sparse with the Voda bloathware on this update though. You can only tell it's Vodafone by one small app and the boot-splash.

Haha, well I don't want their app and I got rid of their red splash screen recently by flashing via fastboot. Now I've got a nice custom one, wouldn't change it back for anything lol.
Vodafone usually stuffs up the phone's OS, especially Sony phones...
I'm on the 32A with CM6.1 - works quite nice
Did you get the Sense UI with the new Vodafone update?

Upgrading DHD to Gingerbread 2.3

Hi, not long had my DHD but it came with Stock Firmware from Orange so I successfully installed 1.32.405.6 which is all good so far!
I now want to upgrade to gingerbread 2.3 which looks good from what I've seen on youtube! Just want to know if there is an upgrade guide online anywhere? Also will I be able to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 in the future if I don't like it?
I also noticed that a few of the 2.3 roms have a few glitches with certain things not working on the phone. Is there a stable release where everything works properly as it should?
I prefer to wait for HTC to release a 2.3 version. I am sure the usual suspects will do a great job optimizing it.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
does any know if 2.3 has improved bluetooth compability with mw600 headset for caller id
We only really have Cyanogenmod 7 at the moment. It's actually pretty stable for the most part but it still need work.

i myself am using mcdv's modified CM7 rom. it's actually pretty damn stable for nightly releases, and so far i have literally zero issues with it. i vowed myself before that i would wait for htc to pack sense with it and then use that but i fell in love with this rom when i tried it on.
here's the link:

Hello there,
i just want to know that is it possible to downgrade to froyo if i need to due to some operator related issues?
Looking forward to your kind reply.
Thanks in advance.
There are rumours about Android 2.4. Google is going to do an Android Event on Feb 2nd.
I think they will announce 2.4 officially & I think HTC is busy with updating the HTC Sense to this version of Android.
But who knows, let's hope HTC won't give up with updating our beloved Desire HD
now that would be nice.. Looking forward for it.
still stuck with the 2.2.... still not getting 2.2.1, so i'm getting little worried..

Yep. I was able to flash the leedroid froyo rom after just to see if i could. But for restoring froyo backups i think you need to reflash CWM 2.5 (because you will then be using CWM 3.0.0.5 to flash gingerbread).
Is it really needed to take half a year to get a damn update? If we eventually get 2.3 when will we get the next one, after 2 years?
The mobile manufacturers are really doing a bad job with their updates, and we need to put some pressure on them.

it's just something you have to live with, once you've got the phone they lose interest in you and try and attract new paying suckers customers, if you want the latest and greatest go with the custom ROM's i.e cm 7 which tend to be at the head of the field

And what do you consider a 'good' job? Diverting all resources to updating the DHD? What about the Desire? Or the Hero? Or all the other phones? Or maybe you think that because you bought a DHD, that's the only phone that must get updates? And what about developing new ones, so the company doesn't fall behind the competition? 2011 will see boom of tablets, dual-core CPUs and whoever knows what. According to your logic HTC should make one phone and dedicate to supporting it for years. It might work for Apple, but that's because no one but them makes IOS devices, so they don't have the same competition, as all Android manufacturers face from each other. HTC are doing the best there is regarding the updates. If you feel that's not good enough, you can always try a community ROM, HTCs devices are the first that get them anyway.

Just been to that link and saw this written in one of the posts
Here is a litte guide for using fastboot:
First of all you need the newest Android-SDK. You get this here
After installation (or extracting for Mac/Linux) copy fastboot into the "tools"-folder. You get this here
Your phone needs Engineering HBoot, have a look here
Now download CMW 3.0.0.5 into your tools-folder.
Now reboot your phone into the Bootloader, plug in USB and on your PC switch to Terminal/Command. Change into the tools-folder.
In terminal type:
fastboot-mac flash recovery ace-cwm-3.0.0.5.img
and press enter.
(If your using windows it's just fastboot and on linux it's fastboot-linux.
You can flash a radio by copying a radio.img into the tools-folder and type
fastboot-mac flash radio radio.img

All you need is in this thread I know there's a fair bit of reading there but it will pay dividends and stop you ending up with an expensive paperweight
i think the fastest way to get the gingerbread is install cm7 rom.

Yeah sure, but why do you really need 2.3 what is really as much better?
They should make better Apps and better Engines for Games first before they make all these versions.
