So is this?

Noticed today these popped up in the /cache of my phone, wouldnt the update be d/l to this location? no idea what they are could they part of a OTA they are starting to push?
Maybe nothing but figured i'd share just in case it is. how big would the update be you guys think?
I'm running Stock 2.1 rooted

What browser are you using? Have you downloaded any apps with your browser? I seem to remember having the same, maybe when I was using Xscope.....

You know, I got those same things. I didn't think twice and just deleted them. I wonder. . .

lol those are leftovers from downloading through any browser. i get those in my downloads folder whenever i downloading something through my phone's internet. You will know when you get the official OTA. nothing will happen to your phone unless you get the pop-up saying there is an OTA available and ask if you would like to download and install it.

Just using the stock browser, have not downloaded anything in quite a while, defanitly not on the 30th?
I though about deleting them but figured i'd ask, besides if they were cache'd data from a browser download why would they be packaged?
Not saying i have something but just found it peculiar they are all packaged and in the root cache where a ota would show up right?
Looks like one is missing ?

OTA doesnt download anything until you approve it.

I believe it actually downloads the OTA and stores in cache before it prompts you. Don't quote me though, I've been wrong before lol

i did the 2.0.1 to 2.1 update on my wife's droid, it didnt download anything until after you approved to do the update. you can also see with the EVO froyo updates, it asks if you want to update over 4g/mobile/wifi or just wifi.

I had no idea what it was but I though maybe they were incrementally pushing pieces or something, I'm new to android, I figured it would probably be nothing but didnt want to delete something that could help someone.
If you think about it, if they pushed a few small pieces to your cache and the the last piece could parse it all and install it wouldnt that save alot of bandwidth for them? or at least even the load? Thats what made me ponder what it was. I'm sure its not browser cache or it wouldnt be a .apk it would probably be a sql db wouldnt it?
I tried to copy them to the root of my sd card but it wouldnt let me for whatever reasonthrough root explorer. maybe i'll copy them out over adb and extract the .apk just to see whats in it, That should tell me.
Anyway figured some other insight would be nice.

I thought someone from Unrevoked said on twitter to the evo users if you get the ota message to upgrade dont do it and the upgrade file would be stored it the root cache? heck iono i've slept since then.

I believe those are failed or canceled .apk downloads.

Why don't you just copy them to your pc and take a peak inside the apk with 7zip?

I have no way of getting onto it, could you post any updates you find important? that would be great.

Like I said in another thread: "So from what I'm understanding is the new way to root the droid 2 is the same exploit that works for the evo and will work.
Here's the thread for the droid 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764950
So from what I understand is if you follow those instructions it should work."

Hopefully I can try this out tomorrow

i was able to get to the # prompt.... but am stuck there. i am unable to cp files... cp is not found. any ideas?

Excellent news!!!!

that gives you root access, but its not nand unlock so you cant access /system (from what i gather from IRC)
after the # the steps are completely different. at this point you have to mod some stuff and RUU to 2.1 and then root that the old fashion way, then flash a new 2.2 rom back on.
... the devs in IRC are getting kinda antsy when people keep bugging them lol. they're telling us noobs to just wait until a full guide/automated program is made.

Are you using an international GS2?
No.
Then why the heck would you flash an international rom?

well i was think they were all the same

If the past threads are any indication your pretty much out of luck.

Try using Odin to go back to full stock if you can get into download mode. I think that's your only hope
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

I think only mobile odin might be able to help you as you cannot see the device n your computer. If you can get the APK for mobile odin which can be found on XDA, put it on you sd card an install, then get an stock odin Rom and run it from your phone.
Can you also edit your title of this thread, it is pretty deceiving...
Hopefully this method works for you.

Yes I agree quite a few people have done this and lets not have anyone else get themselves caught up like you did. Please change the title and edit out your first post stating what happened to you... Good Luck

You're lucky it even booted and that it is not completely FUBARed. Since you can't connect to odin, as stated, try mobile ODIN.

Yup, Mobile Odin is the only option if you can't connect to PC
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

i hear that the bluetooth is the only radio that works. so. get the mobile odin apk, bluetooth transfer that over and hopefully you have a ODIN rom on there already cuz, frankly, it will be an insane pain in the ass to transfer one over bluetooth.
I guess a kernel/recovery would be easier and get your usb connected...
good luck.

well it look like im have to Bluetooth everything in a min imma put a video of the damage i have done to myself

Just to add more salt to the OP's wound: lulz.
Listen to the guys who are telling you to flash back through mobile ODIN, that's probably the only way you're going to get back to a normal working state on your phone.

IMO there are two hurdles with Mobile ODIN:
1) I believe it requires root, which you wouldn't have after flashing the stock Intl software
2) If this phone isn't being recognized even when it can be booted to ODIN D/L mode, then the USB support in the bootloader is already messed up. I don't believe Mobile ODIN can flash the bootloader
Hopefully I'm wrong and you can get it working.

Flash a kernel with clockwork on mobile odin... And then flash everything u need

There is a Guy on the forums that can jTag it. Should work, but i do believe his services come with a fee.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I did the same thing to my phone
Sorry to be the person with the worst news that you really dont want to hear but
the phone is toast......there is only one option that can help you .....JTAG this is a service that fixes this for 50 bucks they will reflash the system back to it and get it working again mobile odin wont work because when you flashed the rom it took out the root so mobile wont work only way is 1 jtag service or if your lucky like i was send it back(within warranty period) and say it was a bad flash of an ota update that came through .......hope this helps but i have did this and everything you could think is not gonna work only what i just told you trust me it pissed me off so bad that i didn't read the post before i flashed it

Really sorry to hear.
This could be why manufacturers want to lock the bootloader so this doesn't happen.
You wouldn't think someone who would attempt this would be this foolish...

recovery unable to flash zip files

I recently got a Samsung Epic 4G Touch and immediately flashed the system to ICS, using SFHub's stock rooted FF18.
Phone works great with that rom. But I was trying to apply Kobridge's tweak pack and discovered that recovery is not letting me install .zip files.
I reboot into recovery fine, and can choose "apply update from sd card .zip" fine. I can navigate to the file fine. When I select it though, it immediately switches to an android bot lying down, with its hood open and a red triangle above it.
I then have to pull the battery to re-boot the phone. It boots into normal startup fine, but the tweak has not been applied.
I tried several versions, and other zips, and it doesn't seem to want to let me install anything that way.
Ideas? I'd rather not have to put CWM on the phone or a different rom on the phone just yet.

That is because the install update zips are for official sprint/Samsung upgrades. To flash those you need CWM.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

You're going to need CWM or another custom recovery to flash anything on your phone

Now I feel like an idiot. I thought the version I got had a working recovery in it, but you're right - it didn't.
I installed Agat's and it's working fine now.
Thanks for the help!

No problem. Your not an idiot. It's alittle confusing sometimes.

No problem and I agree. You're not an idiot. It's also better to ask questions than it is to end up with a very expensive paperweight because you tried to figure things out on your own like some of us have done.

ROOTED Verizon GS4 & Safestrap ROM install ERROR
Good day everyone!
I seem to have bumped into a problem im hoping someone on here can possibly help with.
I successfully rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 on ME7 and got safestrap installed. I followed all the steps correctly then
I downloaded the Hyperdrive ROM but when I get to the install step for the ROM, it gives me a error saying "The zip cannot be flashed " or something of that matter. Anyone know a way to fix this or work around it?
Anyones help is truly appreciated.

Even though you're in the wrong forum... It sounds like a bad download, try redownloading the ROM.

ZE551ML Bootloader Keeps Rebooting

As the title says, I installed the ASUS Official Unlock tool (and didn't really read it, as you should) and it attempted a boot unlock without SU. The funny thing is, it did exactly what it said it would do and rebooted into the Bootloader. The Bootloader said (and still does) it was a success and that the phone will reboot in 5 seconds. Which is fine, except it's doing that every single time I enter the Bootloader. I can't get it to stop doing that so I can actually do the root and re-do the unlock. The phone still functions perfectly fine otherwise.. any advice? (Yes, I can get it into recovery mode) Hopefully that didn't ban me from OTA.
EDIT: It also turned my boot screen white, and I also tried to use the sideloader, but I already have the latest ASUS firmware so that didn't help. However, in my loader I noticed some weird stuff showing about a MOD_SDUPDATE.ZIP not being found.. I don't know what's that about. It was doing that before I tried to use the sideloader.

dunno what exactly happened, but you can do " Using Stock.zip from ASUS site:" from here, that should fix basically everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
P.S.: your data won't be lost, however your app ache will be cleared, meaning you'll be logged out everywhere. So if you have some game and no account, that game state will be lost.

So I tried that, first with the ROM that's installed on the phone the .97 version. Then with the original version. It appears to actually install the .97 version, but that does absolutely nothing for the phone and if I try an older version it just tells me it can't flash an older version. Should flashing the same version over-top have taken care of the problem? Doesn't look like it did anything. The boot loader is probably unlocked, but I can't keep it in ADB mode long enough to do anything useful and you can't sideload a recovery to my knowledge.
EDIT: I named the file wrong in my tiredness. I did it again and loaded in recovery...
EDIT2: That did not work.

You're in a lot of company... There's a couple of threads about this with ASUS reps also saying the same thing....

I don't actually know what you mean by that? With the ASUS unlocking tool causing it to reboot in the bootloader improperly or the booting of the file from Recovery?
The phone isn't actually "broken" but now... I can't do anything to it without the use of ADB.. Which blows.
EDIT: Also, can you point me to these threads?
