My unbranded Desire Z is still lacking Gingerbread goodness also

This update almost bricked my phone, and for over 2hrs just flipped between the HTC logo and the Vodafone logo and would not boot to the home screen. Reluctantly and fearfully I resorted to removing the battery, replaced it and hoped for the best! Thankfully, it worked as I was preparing to do a full hard reset!
I wouldn’t recommend this, but if the same happens to you – this is one solution that seemed to work. Only worked though after it had appeared to have completed the update. Wouldn’t recommend it before that though!

I keep checking manually for updates and I have the automatic check also but stuck on 2.2.1 (1.72.405.2). I’m about to call customer support to see if they know when it might rock up…

unbranded, on t-mobile, still no update, what’s going on, I thought unbranded phones were supposed to get the updates first?

Yeah Vodaphone still hasn’t released mine. Went into the store yesterday, they said that they were rolling out the updates, something I already knew. However I find it interesting that they do it because of the networking… I thought it would be more along the lines of troubleshooting…

still nothing for me… how did it go Topdog?

Unbranded UK DZ here too, 1am 31st July (last day), still nothing.
CM7 is starting to call loudly, as is a different handset manufacturer when I buy my next one.

I got mine Yesterday. Looks nice. Should be fun delving deeper.
