just recieved a g2 from t-mobile with gingerbread

thugjedi · Jun 8, 2011

I recently exchanged my g2 because the camera lens broke. I received the new g2 today and it has gingerbread on it. It is indeed the same as the leaked build but with it coming from t-mobile do you guys think its the final build and how can i root this thing.

lol

The final G2 GB rom was already leaked, so no added value here unfortunately

thugjedi · Jun 8, 2011

just hoping to get this thing rooted

dreamnewbie · Jun 8, 2011

that is strange cause i didn't found a GB rom that would perfectly work on my Vision. there are always some issues like call drops, call lag or battery drains. or maybe i am wrong?

What GB rom are you talking about? The Gingerbread rom stated here is the offical or about to become offical gingerbread update for the G2. As for the call drops and battery drain(Rmk said that he had great battery life using the g2 gingerbread update as a base)... I never had call drops. I live in the san diego area where I get almost full bars and 4g so I havnt got a call drop yet.

Look at this rom from RMK, it's based on the official GB for G2:
[ROM][5/23/2011] Virtuous G-Lite v1.0.2 :: Gingerbread AOSP (HTC/G2 base 2.13.531.8)

i tested CM7 final and latest nightly, G-Lite, miui's and almost all roms availible on this forum with or without sense. I also changed radios to recommended, manually deleted batterystats and giving rom a 3 day trial... every time they failed. now i am on Virtuous and it works fine.

thugjedi · Jun 8, 2011

so is there a way to downgrade rom and root it or am i stuck until we get some devs working on it

The best way to get help be on irc freenode.net #G2ROOT

lainvalenajr · Jun 8, 2011

Lol anyhow needs to be moved to general. I think

apparently im not the only one who got a 2.3 g2 from t-mobile so its defiantly the final build

ericc191 · Jun 8, 2011

Yeah the G-Lite one is good except for one nagging bug. The Power Control widget kept going blank on me. I got tired of it and I'm back on SuperCM7 1.9 for now.

Just got mine and no such luck

I received a warranty replacement last Saturday as my original G2's screen became unresponsive across the middle of the screen. I just checked and my replacement has the original 2.2 build.

Not sure if that helps the conversation, but know that unless yours was shipped in the last week, the 2.3.3 pre-loaded may just be an accident.

thugjedi · Jun 8, 2011

yeah it was yesterday when i got it and im not the only one

For us who already have the G2 the build will not be released until July.

Had a friend who got a replacement G2 on 6/7, it came with 2.3.3.
I need to root this sucker and would like to avoid downgrading - are there any root methods out there yet?

thugjedi · Jun 9, 2011

Not yet but the root method will probably involve downgrading
