Android upgrade to 1.5
I have to say this is a very great upgrade, and worth the effort. Here is the step by step instruction (on linux):
- Download radio image: ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip and recovery image: signed-dream_devphone-ota-147201.zip
- make sure HTC Gphone is connected to your computer, and `adb devices` see your phone listed
- adb push ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip /sdcard/update.zip
- adb shell sync
- shut down your GPhone. When preparing to restart, please press and hold "Home" then hit the Start (should be the same power off button aka the "Call End" button) button, waiting for the "!" sign as into the recovery mode
- ALT + I to enable log info (I didn't see any log info though)
- ALT + s to install the update
- Press HOME + BACK and write the install, and there will follow an automatic reboot
- adb push signed-dream_devphone-ota-147201.zip /sdcard/update.zip
- repeat 4 - 8
Sounds pretty straightforward, the original/official instruction is here: http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html . But with my first try, I kinda stuck at step 5, I didn't see the exclamation mark when I am into recovery mode, instead, the screen was frozen with android bot standing there and I can't shut off the GPhone. And since I didn't see the "!" sign, I don't know whether I could continue with step 6 or not.
Then I tried to use adb tool for help, `adb devices` tells me the device is in recovery mode, so I continued my venture. However I saw three Android Bots at the bottom of the screen in the process instead of the "installing package" or "writing update" signs. So I was not sure whether I finished my upgrading or not, but the GPhone is back live. So I restarted everything from the beginning, and this time everything works like charm, and got what I want:
- Soft Keyborad when web browsing to enter new url
- Camcorder, now I can record video with my GPhone
- Voice Search
- Wireless support of WPA2 protocol, so I can have user name and password
- And I am expecting to find more :)
