Device info, check for upgrade? - G1 Android Development

Ok if you use Anycut and make a shortcut to device info at the very bottom there is a box
CHECK FOR UPGRADE
what is this? would this automatically check for a new update, like from RC19 to RC29?

You are correct. That is how we found out about the upgrade and such. There is another post about this BTW... just named differently.

so whould this have downloaded the update and installed it on my phone?
or just stated that there was an update?

Uhhh, you are about 1 week to late for this information. Thanks though.
I was rooted, no lagfix when I tried to update. It got to 100% then it said failed. My baseband says I897UCJH7. Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2.
Did the update work or not?
Flashman, how did your OTA update go? Any issues us rooted/unlocked folks should be worried about?
My instinct is to delay the update until I stop seeing posts about hot it F'd up people's phones.

If you rooted and removed anything from stock rom, you're pretty much guaranteed to fail on OTA update. In order to make the OTA download package as small as possible, Samsung uses a diff patch based on the bit differences between stock JF6 image and new JH7 image. So, if you touched the JF6 in any unauthorized way, the patch won't work.
Luckily, you can now use the newly released Kies Mini to do a full ROM update which should be more reliable as you have the entire ROM image downloaded to your desktop and then flash to your phone.

If my settings say i'm at JH7, does that necessarily mean the OTA update was completely successful? It reached 100% then said failed.

What do you mean removed anything from stock rom? I rooted and removed a bunch of the bloatware and did an OTA update with no issues.
I failed along with most other rooted and flashed guys. Luckily I didn't brick my phone in the process. I will wait until some beret update comes along before trying anything ota again.
Sweet life
Nevermind, I guess it didn't update fully cause some of the implemented changes aren't there. I really didn't want to have to run a master clear and have to reinstall all my stuff.

Do you have TouchWiz as your default launcher? and make sure you're on your home screen when you connect your USB cable.
If that doesn't do it you need to get back to JF6 only way or another because Mini Kies will continue to tell you that you have an "unregistered" device until it is at JF6
The reason is because your update failed partially :/
are you guys talking about a new update or just JH7?
We're talking about JH7, some people are still having difficulties getting it on their phone as the OTA is still failing - and if you've failed the OTA you need to reflash to stock before mini kies will work.
when i did the update i was rooted an it didn't fail on install or bootup or anything.
but then again i'm just rooted and nothing else has been touched.

Exactly, I don't think root causes any issues. I was able to check for update on a rooted ROM.
It's when you have a custom kernel etc.

Not really. AT&T has said that the real update will be sent out via SMS text message link, not through the "update software" menu in android.
Engadget just had that yesterday.

[Q] 2.3.4 on GRI54

The OTA update for GRI54 was downloaded by my phone, however because I use Clockwork Recovery the update Google update procedure did not work.
Anyone know where I can manually download to GRI54 update to 2.3.4 (GRI40 isn't working it seems)?
Look in your logcat for download Link and post it here plz.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Oh yes.. please do post the link
Agreed... haven't seen a GRI54 link yet. Need to get that to MoDaCo Paul ASAP (although he's probably busy watching the wedding)
Unfortunately logcat only seems to show messages since last reboot. And I already rebooted in order to try to get the update installed Also I can't get the phone to attempt to download it again.
May be someone else could check before rebooting their phone?
Could you upload the update itself somewhere?
Do you know where on the file system I can find the update?
i would search on root of your sd card (/sdcard mount point) or in download dir on sdcard?
Or you can just search for .zip files on your sd card with weird file names
Oh.. nexus s does not have sdcard (just USB storage) but the mount point is the same /sdcard
Found it
Unfortunately I can't post URLs yet. So take the GRI40 update URL and replace the filename with:
486786a7fd97.signed-soju-GRJ22-from-GRI54.486786a7.zip
Note: I have not tested this update myself yet. Use at your own risk!
As I see only 2.3.3-to-2.3.4 link is known now, look on AndroidCentral:
GRJ22-from-GRI40: http://android.clients.google.com/p...749.signed-soju-GRJ22-from-GRI40.a14a2dd0.zip
Should wait a bit for logcats from other versions.
SanjuroE, where did you find it, aren't there GRJ22-from-GRH78C ?
Downloading... will update you all as soon as I apply this.
Grab it from here
I found it in my /cache directory. My phone was at GRI54 when I bought it, so I don't have any other updates.

[Q] How to update manually

How do i update my tf tot 8.5.6.19 manually? Because when I check for new updates it says that i have the newest firmware installed...
And is there also a site where i can download the updates from?
Grtz
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
Download/Android OS/Firmware etc.
look for the "update SOP" in the manuals or downloads, but in a nutshell, unzip it and place the ASUS folder on your external sdcard. Insert the sdcard and you *should* get a notification to update.

Thanks but the latest firmware i can download from that link is 8.6.5.14
Is there another site where i can download the update?

After a few weeks, the latest firmware will show up. Until then, you can download the .13 firmware and upgrade manually to .19- either by checking for the OTA or by searching for it here, although it might only be the US or WW version.

Well now you're on an up to date version (assuming you ment 8.6.5.19), so it will not notify you that an update is available until another update comes out. You'll have to downgrade to an older version. I've never done that so I'm not sure how well it will work, or if it will work.
In the future, I highly recommend not flashing your device with a firmware released for a different location.

It's in test version,but if you want maybe try:
Open firmware finder on pc ,start firmware update and copy the link for the firmware you want to flash,the link should be like http:..../..../f1/
And click start the server.
On your phone connect to the same wifi as ur pc,go to wifi settings, click and hold on the connected network,you will see advance settings,fill ip same as the ip of ur pc and port same as the one in firmware finder.
Once done go to update in phone settings and check for updates,you should see a new firmware update.
Hope you will understand.

Ok, selected the ota not full B138 it updated, the security patch is december, ank kernel info date also december, but why it shows 126 instead of 138?
Maybe it just updated minor things not the full system?
And after update i do not notice anything.

You don't have to download the update in firmware finder,you only need to activate the server update in firmware finder and change the proxy, after that you go to system update and check for updates.

Latest update.

I've received this update... Now I'm rooted already. I don't know what to do... Should I update it or leave it as it is since I'm using xposed as well.
Will I have to root the phone again?
I've got twrp already installed.
Any instructions?
You can't even take the update if you're root it will just fail to install
wow, this is a pretty big update.
I am on build QB3, anyone else have this? Ive not seen much on it
I don't understand what it's for. I tried to download it but it says I'm out of space even though I have space to install

No you can't take the update unless you unroot. All the new updates for this phone are all security updates and that's it. There's no new features of your on 6.0.1. Anything past pca roms were just security updates. Sprint has been releasing new updates every month for this device but it's all security updates.
