Quick android question?

Why do you think there is an update for the phone?
Most OTA ( over the air ) updates are automatic. I’ve had several OTA’s for my phone, but only when it was released by the mobile phone provider.
Contact T-Mobile direct with info for your phone.

@Tropical_Willie is right. Updates are automatic. You’re probably running Froyo, right (2.2)? Or maybe even Gingerbread (2.3)? If so, that’s it – unless you want to root and install a custom rom (like Cyanogenmod). But even there, you will likely be limited to the pre-ICS (4.0) world due to low phone specs.

But if you get into that kind of thing, rooting and installing custom roms is a thing people get into. Sometimes it’s to extend the life of an old phone. Other times it’s to get a later build that is not available because the phone will never get it.

I should be running froyo 2.2 but I’m running 1.6 :/ and it sucks because I can’t use Google play. I’m stuck with the market

And I have already used androot and rooted the phone. I can’t update any of the root pro grams because I can’t access Google play

Um.. I stated that I already did that.
