Leaked build of T-Mobile’s G2 is available for download

If you just can’t wait any longer for the official Android Gingerbread 2.3 update for for G2 device from T-Mobile, it appears that a leaked build is already available. This could mean that the official version should be out soon, but for those who are curious as to what they can expect from the official build, or for those who just too impatient, it appears that you will be able to get the update here. On the downside, it appears that there are several features missing, so check them out after the break.

There’s a few cons about the leak like:

– No 3-botton reset.

– Long pressing the camera buttom makes the phone vibrates.

– You cant root the phone once this is done. There’s no way to downgrade again to 2.2.

– Some people had reported problems with their backlight keyboard (I dont have any)

 

However, the pros outweights the cons:

 

– Better radio (No, not AM/FM radio)

– Better audio codecs

– Faster boot up… (under 30 seconds on my phone)

– Faster response.

– Better GUI

– Bug Fix on bluetooth and Wifi.

 

Instructions:

 

 

– Download the file.

– Save it on you SD card on the Root, not on a folder.

– turn your device off and then on by holding power on and volume button together. This will boot you into t-Mobile G2 bootloader.

– once your device boots into the bootloader, it will automatically search and detect PC10IMG.ZIP file. Please remain patient as this can take some time.

– Once it detects and scans the file, you will need to press the volume up button on your phone to restore you device. This will again take 5 to 10 minutes so patience is advised. During this process, the phone will reboot and and resume installation of stock firmware.

– Once the flashing / installation is complete, press the power button in order to reboot.

– Once you have completed all these steps, connect your phone again to the computer, mount SD card and delete PC10IMG.ZIP file.
