Develop Bugs

June 20th update

So Monday I guess there is like a bug fix update to fix the netflix and phantom voice mail that most of us got with the gingerbread update. It annoyed me so much that I switched Roms and am loving my MikG 1.03 Rom. So I do want the netflix back. Will it show up as an ota update on custom Rom or do I wait and get it after someone has posted it as a zip or something.

I'm sure it'll be an OTA but you might as well wait for the rooted version to prevent an un-rootable situation.

I second that...avoid the OTA and the bloatware that comes with it

Those of us who remember the 2.2 OTA fiasco and the days of waiting some users had to do before it could be rooted will know that taking an OTA is, potentially, a trap. Most of the time, not so much, and maybe not even intentionally, but we all know it's possible.
Don't be a lemming. And certainly don't be the first lemming off the cliff.

2.2? The 2.3 update was just as bad, perhaps worse.
And yes, don't take the official OTA, wait for a rooted version of it.

what are the chances that HTC will unlock the bootloader with this update?

Unlikely. Their announcement was for all newly released devices from that point forward.

I just didn't know if it was going to be a simple tweak or if it would replace the whole operating system. I avoided the gingerbread OTA update so will be doing the same on Monday. Hopefully Tuesday I will be running netflix again.

[Q] 4.24.651.1 maintainence release

Has anyone heard anything about this update? I am wondering if this may be my chance to gain root access by waiting for a rooted version?

I "heard" one person...ONE that says he/she got the OTA. I'm not buying it. Oh well...just waiting for the rooted update, if in fact the OTA even went out.
Can I haz Netflix?

In another thread about the update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132153
Some one says they called sprint and it was pulled due to bugs.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150 Download this apk. Worked perfectly fine on my device.

Hello I'm new here and I would like to ask if I should wait for someone to root the 4.22.651.2 or I should just download the new its the 4.24 and forget about rooting my EVO

So the golden rule is of course never take OTA updates. However, I look at it this way. Your already unrooted, and if they find an exploit were still looking at several weeks before it's released so why not see what the new firmware brings.
Im guessin now that this latest OTA is released things may progress, but what the heck do I know.

I got the update this morning.

So what happened? Is this a whole new ROM or just a patch?

i SAW, AND AS SURE AS SNOT IS SLIPPERY, DID NOT INSTALL TILL I KNOW WHAT IT DOES

way to thread necro mate!

Do I take the update?

I have an update available on my new tablet I got yesterday day. Where do I find update info about it? Will I lose the ability to root if I take it?

I myself am new to the a100 community, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Now, from my current knowledge, if the update is for version 3.2.1, you will lose ability to root. With that said, if u want root, you should probably stay with ur current version.
Also, I believe some users have said they've been able to root the newer version (3.2.1) by the same 3.2 root method. They did encounter some problems but got around them easily somehow. But since I dnt know much on this, again, I advise against updating, unless you can confirm with someone whose successfully rooted the update and can get some clear instructions on how to root the newer version.

i have 3.2.1 and have rooted with su and others.

I myself have also updated to 3.2.1 and rerooted with no issues at all. The update is vital if you use headphones and hate how the screen autorotates when installing apks.

You can still easily achieve root with the new update, but we're still somewhat limited on what we can do with it because there has yet to be a custom recovery, or custom roms.
If you so choose to root, and find an Acer recovery tool on the market, don't use it because it won't work for the A100 and will definitely mess your tablet up.
After rooting, check out the "themes and apps" section to see what deb's have come up with for rooted tabs.
And remember, READ EVERYTHING BEFORE TAKING THE FIRST STEP!!!!!

no update for me too.

would have any problem to receive an upgrade if app eliminated several of the system?

Same here no update. What gives?

No update, reporting in.

no update here either,anyone know how or by what criteria or location acer distribute it?
maybe going from 3.2 to 3.21 is only minor ,,but it does raise question of when ICS is released,will some have wait months longer than others?

From my experience with the A500 you can wait a day to month. I'm not sure how they roll out updates but its dumb.

Maybe they found some problems with the update and decided not to open it up to all regions.

if theres no real difference with this update, i think i will skip it for now.

Once I enabled the "Update" feature, it was immediately avail to download.
Settings > About Tablet > System Update > ...and check for updates.

mmm I still dont get the update,,maybe they don't like Canadians?
Would help if I told them Im not Canadian,,but English just living in Canada??
But seriously it occurred to me that they maybe put a hold on the update,,,as ice cream sandwich is supposedly coming for A100 in January,but if some are still getting the 3.21 update obviously not

How will we know when we get an OTA ICS?

I'm a little concerned. With everyone here rooted and on custom roms, noone will get the OTA update. That means we have to rely on outside sources for the availability of that update. That also means we will have to unroot/go back to stock to get the update. That just seams like a lot of wasted time. I'm going back to stock right know so I don't waste any time.
Then again, maybe it would be better to get it a couple hours after it is released. I mean with sprints network pushing all those updates at once.... waiting might even be faster.

From what i've seen most of the time the ota is leaked here before its released.

No that was not THE ota but an ota most of the leaks supported ota flash and we will know when the ICS kernel source is released and when you look at your phone and it says there is a firmware update lol

Lol i haven't received an ota on any device since i joined xda
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

You will know. It will be posted on BGR, Brief Mobile, Android Police, etc. Sprint usually lets the world know a few days before the OTA is sent. Chances are it is that it will be the last RDF that is posted before they announce.

On the old Epic the source was usually dropped the night before the OTA started. There's always someone lurking on stock and you get a topic on the forum stating "Have OTA notification can someone help me pull it?"

So, in conclusion, there's no cause for alarm.

Plus not everyone here is rooted. There are those that prefer unrooted stock. I can't imagine why but they exist

Rooting doesn't prevent the OTA from installing. Modifying or deleting system files with your root power is what causes the OTA to fail.
If you install the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN OneClick, the OTA will install file. It will disable your root, as all official OTAs do.

Won't our phones get the OTA notification regardless what build/ROM is installed?

Depends if the app that handles the updates was disabled/removed, never present, or still active.

Makes sense.
Do you know what app handles that and how to check and see if it's still in operation?

That was my thinking before too. When I first installed custom roms with ek02. I thought how I would have get the next OTA update. I just waited until the developer of the ROM i'm using updates it to the latest build. now I don't feel the need to accept any future OTA updats. Plus it will break root anyway, if you didn't change any system files. Might as well wait a few days and get the update with the ROM of your choice. you can always download the OTA update later on and install it manually if you want too. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I think it is System Updates, but might be Smart Device Manager.
The process to check for updates is distinct from the one that bugs you to install after it is downloaded. They may or may not be in the same app.

Why would you want the official OTA update when you can wait no more than a day and one of our amazing devs will have it rooted and ready to use like any other leak so far.

Oh trust me that's exactly what I'm going to do but was adding to the conversation for people truly curious and interested in receiving the OTA.
I don't see myself ever running plain old stock again. I'm too spoiled now. lol

Were you able to get the Jelly Bean update yet? Poll

Answer with your location if you have gotten the update. This also will help answer my curiosity on how they roll out updates and where. If anyone gets the update please post the manual download link
New link since the old one was deleted.

Start downloading people the official ota lj7. Boot into recovery and install with Samsung recovery and all will be good.!
Just got mine updated manually. Placed the zipped file on root on my sd card. Then shut it down. Removed and reinserted the battery. Held down the volume up, home button, and power until I saw Samsung display on the screen. A menu then came up and I selected restore from sd file or something like that. Install worked without a hitch!

I think, not sure, OTAs get to the "major markets" first, then more rural and smaller areas get them as the days go on.
I only say that based on my experience. I live in a small town in Western New York and it usually takes the OTAs a few days to get pushed here after an official announcement from Sprint
But I too am also interested in which markets get the OTA first.

Nope, havent gotten it.
I remember when I had my GS2, when the 4.0 OTA came out, people that got the update first extracted the URL of the update file and posted it here in XDA and so people that hadnt gotten the update could manually download it instead of waiting weeks for the OTA to hit their phones...
Will we have the same now for the GS3?

Yes, it gets stored in /cache, once someone gets the OTA they can pull it from there and upload it a file sharing site (Dropbox, mediafire, d-h.st, etc)

What are the steps to get the URL? Like update first or not, the file it is in, etc.

It's not a URL, it's the actual OTA file. You accept the download, then before it reboots to install, you copy the file in /cache to your computer. Then upload to the file sharing host of your choosing and share that URL with the masses.

Never mind lol

I know there is a trick to stop the framework process or something to that extent to force and update once it comes out. I have used it on the two previous upgrades so I didn't have to wait for it to hit me. Does anyone remember the exact app? Does Android Framework sound familiar? I think I cleared the cash and then it found the update.
