Develop Bugs

I heard Sprint is issuing an OTA update tomorrow

The reason for the update is to repair some issues that select EVO's are having with the included microSD card.
Check here to read about the exact issue many are having:
http://androidforums.com/support-tr...disappearing-defect-included-8gb-microsd.html

not sure its due tomorrow but should be in next few days

It isn't worth losing root.

do not accept it. we will make a rooted version. they could patch root with it and ruin the chance of root

I won't be. I just thought it would be beneficial to tell the folks here.

For anyone tempted to accept the OTA, or any update from Sprint or HTC, take a little visit to the Hero forum.

How do we ensure we do not receive the OTA update? Please post instructions!!

If it's the same as the G1, then all you have to do is refuse the update. It will ask you if you want to update, just say no. Correct me if I'm wrong or it's been changed.

Easy:
Step 1. Do not go to Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Software Updates
At least that's how it is on my CDMA Hero running Aloysius 2.1.

this is true. should be the same on the evo. once we make a rooted version, the reminder will go away. it should take no more then an hour for the update to be rooted and uploaded. so be patient, most likely its not going to be a life altering update to froyo. itll just be a patch update

I can almost guarantee you it won't be. But if it is I will flip lol

I want to say the phone checks for firmware updates on the first boot. At least that is what I saw in a few videos.

the phone will have to download the update to the sdcad and require u to reboot into recovery if that were the case. im not sure as ive never seen this happen first hand. all the OTA's ive senn just came up with a notice saying... you have a software update availible. wwhen u click it, it will take u to setting and ask if u would like to download it now. u can say no. but if u say yes it will download and when its finished, ask u if u would like to reboot to apply the update. if u say no again ur still in the green. if u say yes it will take u to hboot (bootloader) menu. at this point it will searche for the update on the sdcard, validate and flash it. this is how it worked on my wifes Eris at least and the CDMA hero worked the same way. note this though. Sprint doesnt seem to like doing full rom updates via OTA. they have in the past always made the update avail via the Sprint support site. this was the case for both the Moment and the HeroC. again thi isnt for certain things will work this way on the Evo. but im assuming HTC/Sprint wouldnt bother changing their methods all of a sudden just for the Evo. but again anything is posible

i may just have them hand me a box then, and tell them i will activate at home. i can pull the sd card and use my N1 to put the files on it, and boot straight into bootloader, flash, then do the recovery dance, all before said phone looks for updates.
thanks for the heads up about auto checking. maybe some of the nice folks on the east coast that are going to have the phone 2 hours before i will can post up whether or not this happens, once they get theirs

From the Evo Manual:
Updating Your Device’s System Software
From time to time, system software updates for your device may be available. Your device can automatically
check and then notify you if an update is available. You can then download and install the update to your
device. Depending on the type of update, the update may erase all your personal data and customized
settings, and also remove any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the
information and files you want to keep.
To check for phone system software updates manually
1. Press > and then tap Settings > System updates > HTC software update.
2. On the System software updates screen, tap Check now.

Mango Update. Files please ????

User hd2leo_fusion post in another thread...
This download contains four files that you will need to update your retail Windows Phone device to the 'Mango' Beta 2 pre-release build.
MangoB2-ZuneClient.zip - ZIP file that contains the install for the pre-release Zune Client 4.8, required to update your Windows Phone retail device and to connect to your device from the Windows Phone SDK tools.
MangoB2-UpdateWP.zip - ZIP that contains the install program(s) that will install updatewp.exe into your Zune client, allowing you to update your Windows Phone to point to the test servers
MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.zip - Tool that automates the backup and update process so that your retail phone can receive ‘Mango'
Update Instructions - Mango Beta 2 for WPDevs.pdf - Instructions to walk you through the update process. 15 minutes here can save you 4 weeks without a phone.
Finally, one last reminder about reading the instrctions:
Please read the instructions document fully and carefully before you update your retail device. Not properly following these instructions can place your personal phone in an unusable state. Microsoft is unable to assist developers who ‘bricked’ their phone because an instruction step was skimmed or skipped.

Hi all
It looks like those 4 files are the files you need to perform the update !!!!!!
MangoB2-ZuneClient.zip
MangoB2-UpdateWP.zip
MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.zip
Mango Beta 2 for WPDevs.pdf
And from what i read are device indepented ...so guys ...
Can any one with dev account post those files here please???

Good luck with this. Considering [registered] developers are only allowed to install Mango on a single device I somehow doubt you'll be able to install it as a non-dev just by patching your Zune install.

It's easy like that?

I'm giving it a shot. I have the files, going to see if it works.
I sure hope it does.
P.S. I was sworn to not share the files though. Gotta find ur own

I'll try to search them, too. But if I found them I'll post them here.
Edit: Google doesn't help =/ Seems like nobody has uploaded them, yet.

At least, can you tell us if it worked for you?

I did not say that it will work 100% ...The files are just to patch the zune and send it to find the update in the MS servers ...
Dont forget that register devs are limited to unlock only 1 device ...and all of them have more than one unlocked...
Maybe this will work, for everyone ... maybe ...else why are those files hiden to general public ???

So far so good, installed the "pre-mango" update, no hicups yet.
The only confirmation it has so far is to confirm you have a dev unlocked phone. No dev unlock phone, no update.

Read a few posts up. They aren't my files to share, I'm sure they'll be leaked out eventually, but I'm not going to screw a friend over who gave me them if there is some sort of hidden tracking.
I'll report the progress, but no files.
P.S. seems this update is going to take at least an hour. I'll post back when it finishes. Also, from start to where I am now, it's been pretty painless. And NO i don't have the Beta 2 tools installed, so it apparently works without them, despite what the document says.

Ah, ops, sorry. Okay then.
At least we will know if this will work to everyone when leaked.

Is it official and confirmed that each developer can only update one out of his three devices?

I planned on having them installed eitherway, just that the excitement overcame my ability to remember longer than 20 seconds to install them before kicking off the update lol.
So far still in updating mode... Been about 30 minutes i think, document says 70.

Phone just reset itself, looking at the bug list, it an take 5-45 minutes to restart, we'll see. Hopefully we're done soon.

How to Determine update contents

Can anyone tell me how to determine the contents of updates WITHOUT accepting them? I received one yesterday and it's only 37.9 mb. So I'm pretty sure it isn't JB, but I want to know what it is. Thanks.

Only thing that I can think of would be the update to gimp the search all function.

Yeah, I already have that one.

LG2 I bought it two weeks ago. When I do a search it only searches the web, not phone. So I assume it's been updated. Am I wrong?

You could download the zip file separately on a PC and explore it. The update zip file has been available for a while. See this thread.

That's what I was thinking. I'll read up and see how to get it off the phone and to the pc. I don't want to install the update until I know what it does, if it does anything I want or need or does it remove things I like(universal search). Thanks again for the quick replies.

If you be on 98.18.94 do the OTA of the same name!
....98.30.1 do the OTA likewise.
More:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52716429&postcount=25

I was on 98.18.94 and updated to KK 182. I froze system apps and it refused to boot. Then i RSD'd to 98.30.1 and that gave me the KK 183. update. NOTHING on the phone changed. Bootloader still unlocked and everything. I believe they're pretty much identical and it doesnt matter which update you take.

I was kind in the same situation, I was on 98.18.94, but was rooted and couldn't take the OTA. Used House of Moto to go to 98.30.1 and then was able to take OTA. I still have the original KitKat OTA Blur_Version.98.18.94.XT907.Verizon.en.US.zip that I pulled before going to 98.30.1. Are you saying I should be using that version 182.46.10.xt907 instead of 183.46.10.xt907 since I originally had the 98.18.94? Any idea what the difference is between the 2 versions?

I no longer have a M. I did check the recoveries & they have different md5's.
There have been just too many borks associated with this neglect of name/build subtlety to ignore it.

Since I have the original OTA could I either down grade and apply the correct OTA or since I have an unlocked bootloader would I be able to reinstall the original without the down grade step?

But just a do over seems best.

If you're unlocked, just downgrade using the UNIVERSAL RSD script back to 9.30.1, then install the OTA zip for 9.30.1. See here:

I can update my thread on droidrzr now. Thanks for checking that. No sign of the RAZR HD FXZ yet huh?

Nope, and I was told by someone who would absolutely know that they hadn't been pushed to the servers yet...
This guy popped up out of the clear blue sky and said he had the file almost as soon as the OTA started going live.
That is all I can tell you...manna from heaven...I wouldn't *****!

Yes, I talked to our mutual friend about it a few days ago and was told the same thing. How stras1234 managed to acquire the FXZ so quickly is beyond me but truly amazing. We were highly skeptical when he posted that he had it on droidrzr. I guess we should have looked into it a bit further. LOL. But that's what prompted me to ask our mutual friend about it and when he said it wasn't out, my skepticism grew. Ah well. Most impressive!

I was originally on 98.18.94 and rooted. I ended up using House of Moto to install the 98.30.1 because OTA failed. I was then able to get the OTA. The OP is saying I should be using 182.46.10.xt907 version and not 183.46.10.xt907. So if I go back to 98.30.1 can I then install the correct OTA, or is there a place to get the file to downgrade to my original version? I went to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ and it did not have my version to download.

Since the FXZ for KK was posted, I've updated my thread with instructions on how to use it. I'd just flash that and call it good. The whole 182 vs 183 nonsense is a red herring. There's no difference between the builds except the build number and signing keys. Personally if I still had a Moto phone I'd be sticking with the FXZ path regardless of what anyone says.

im currently running KK, get kitkat from ota update and my KK version is 183.46.10. can i reflash to this FXZ??it is save? my phone is unlocked bootloader.. need your help. thank you

I dont now why..but i found bug with version 183..sometimes i got my phone cant turn on from lockscreen..and can only fix it using hard reboot (press vol up+vol down+power in the same time)..i hope with version 182 can be solved..and another question is after ota update my model number is XT905 NOT XT907 OR Razr M..dunno why
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app

That's odd about XT905 (since neither the Electrify M, nor the Aussie Razr M got KitKat yet - they're both can be XT905 for some reason), but yes, you could try to flash again via RSD Lite for a cleaner system. It doesn't matter if it's 182 or 183 though, as it's the same version.
OT: But for the Electrify M which is XT901 an update is announced at Moto's site now.

ZVD starts rolling out today

It is the knock code update
Edit: I should probably include a link..
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...h-support-for-lgs-knock-code-security-system/

Got the update an hour ago. Im on zvc stock rooted so ill have to wait for the awesome devs to post it here.

awwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaa finally we need this thanks for the info

And I'm assuming there's no wifi calling since it's not even mentioned?

Anyone captured the OTA update?

Has anyone released the ZVD radio yet?

I'm just waiting for someone to take the OTA and do a ROOTED BACKUP, and then put it on XDA....!

I'd be happy to. My device shows the update is downloaded and waiting for install.
Point me in the right direction and I'll post it up.

you can just download it and dont reboot, should be in the cache folder in root.

The software update, which brings it up to Sprint’s version ZVD, also includes a new icon for HD Voice (something that’s being added to other devices as well), a patch for Google, and an updated email signature. Owners will also see improvements for group messaging.

From my phone, without using a PC, how do I get it from that folder to Dropbox or another file sharing Avenue?

use a root explorer to copy it to an sdcard then use dropbox app to upload it there.

I accepted the zvd update about an hour ago and lost root.
ioroot25 works with the zvd update.

I like how there is no WiFi calling.... especially with the crappy network and occasional issues with the Airave, you would think they would enable it for the G2 already, but no.:crying:
