Won't work, may brick your phone if it flashes a GSM radio to your phone.

You'll be waiting a long time for that link.

Yeah, which is why I stopped after 40. I'll let someone more experienced figure it out for me. I'm sure those numbers aren't spot-on.

 

[wowpaw]

Will NOT work, plain and simple.

The file isn't there. 2.2 Sense hasn't even been written yet.

Being written, yes. I'd be surprised if it's more advanced than an early alpha.

Doesn't change the fact that we're not going to get our hands on it anytime soon.

you will be awfully surprised what people come up with in the android community...... i bet you they have updates that are already written that wont come out for years already

Here's hoping some mischievous soul from HTC will leak 2.2 with Sense early...

Considering HTC works closely with Google, as Google said, they have the time before the release to work on things. They have their hands on pre-release stuff on a constant basis so it's not like HTC woke up this morning and went, "OH SNAP Google released 2.2 this morning on the Nexus, we need binaries!!"

They know and have been working on it, it will come out in due time. I just hope we ain't waiting on VZW to ok anything or we'll never get it.

The only way we're going to be seeing 2.2 in the near to intermediate future is if someone manages a root exploit and we can install a ported version ourselves.

this is what i'm really hoping for in the near future.

 

[heavensblade23]

Unfortunately it's not looking like we're going to get root anytime soon either unless something falls into our laps. Anything obvious has already been tried and found not to work.

 

[Adiliyo]

it would be nice if HTC would just give is a method to root it and throw an "at your own risk" license agreement on it.

it would make life so much easier....

I couldn't agree more, and I'm sure this has more to do with service providers than the device makers or google. If it was totally up to Google we would have root to begin with and it would ask us to setup the extra security if we wanted it I would believe.

Hopefully fingers crossed since Google pushed 2.2 out pretty dang fast to the Nexus we may have something here pretty quickly. I want to play with 2.2 bad!

I doubt something is going to get leaked anytime soon. Google said themselves that the update would be available to OEMs in a few weeks. At best i would say HTC and all the other manufacturers JUST got it along with Nexus users. And NO im pretty sure HTC did not get the update earlier than everyone else otherwise other manufacturers would cry foul. HTC has to put sense on froyo THEN it has to go through Verizon. I'm thinking maybe at LEAST a month or two.
