Rooted users: Results After Installing Maintenance Update? - Hero CDMA Android Development

As reported here and on SU, the maintenance update from Sprint/HTC is being rolled out over the air. Can people with Root and/or a custom ROM tell us what happens if you update? I doubt you'll loose root but I'm just curious and I'm sure other are too.
This is only for rooted users. No need to post if the update isn't available to you yet. IF it works for you and you're rooted/rom'ed, post.
Root: Yes or No
ROM: Tell us which
Reuslts: Still rooted, working fine?
As for me, the update isn't available yet but I want to know what I'm getting in to before I allow it.
EDIT: So far it looks like the update won't even install for rooted users - Recovery image gets in the way...
EDIT2: freshlyill has provided a direct download of the update pkg file in post #7
EDIT3: This update definitely cannot be made on rooted Heros but doesn't hurt the phone if you try. No risk.
EDIT4: UPDATE: SUCCESS! thecodemonk has confirmed that root is still available on page 4. Process: Use stock RUU to bring it back to stock, download and apply update, re-root like normal!
EDIT5: Satinkzo has also confirmed that the above works. Now, somebody ROM this sucker up

Im rooted on Fresh ROM. Dl the update now, at about 20%...

I cannot get it to install on rooted phone. Looks like the recovery image or something gets in the way.

freshlyill (from fresh rom) got the update and also said it seemed to error out because of the recovery image. But he rebooted again and it appeared to work. He still has root but has no signs that the update applied. Still getting wake lock on stock messaging app.
No firmware update available for my phone yet.

Decided to take the plunge since I nandroided recently...whee! (going about 1%/second ^_^)

same here. Rooted with no custom rom. Won't take the update.

here's the update..

Good luck solder lol i would not risk loosing root.
shouldn't we wait to include this in a custom rom? Sense no one rooted has this update we cant get a Nand backup of it

The reason it won't work is that the rooted image has testkeys and the stock image has release keys. You don't want to apply the maintenance update on a rooted phone in any manner. The purpose of the maintenance release, from what I've heard, is to fill the hole that makes root possible.

I downloaded and opened the update.pkg and it is just a zipped file. I wonder if it would be possible to push it with adb?

It's actually not as dangerous as it sounds since I can always RUU back to the vulnerable version and nandroid restore.

If that is the case then you don't want this MR if you want to stay rooted then. I was kind of hoping that wasn't the case with this MR.

unrevoked 2 is out with rooted (and full radio) EVO 4G 1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6 OTA

looks like the unrevoked team has done it, got the rom OTA update WITH the new radio and baseband version reading 1.47.651.1..i think the other root methods got the rom, kernel etc but not the full radio..
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/evo_ota_2_patch#evo_4g_1476511-1326516_ota_fix
from their twitter
unrevoked
1. Patched #evo4g OTA ready: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/evo_ota_2_patch . For those of you who updated already, stay tuned.
its not a quick root like teh first.
thats what I want
Yup looks like an actual root method that u can flash roms through and uses the ClockworkMod recovery menu...so although its a few extra steps... its worth it.
Yeah...Don't think I'm going to stick with unrevoked. While I'm very into the homebrew community, I can't see myself rooting until 2.2 is leaked or released from HTC/Sprint. I'll wait for a few days, but I need that boosted 4G radio since 4G just started here yesterday and I get a poor signal.
*Increases bitrate for MPEG4 videos recorded from 6MBit to 8MBit.
Interesting
Is their file corrupt or something cause everytime I go to do the update in recovery it fails.
just did the unrevoked 2 method, worked great, easy to do!
When I try to install the update from unrevoked2 I get a status 7 error and the installation aborts. Anyone have any clue as to why this is?

I am having the same issue.
I have have a custom recovery courtesy of unrevoked2. I'm running Joeykrim's 1.0.8 odexed ROM, and Joeykrim's kitchen to remove some Sprint bloatware.
After fully rooting and installing Stock (1.32.651.6) with root odex v1.0.8 (06/25/2010) by joeykrim,
(the Shipped (1.32.651.6) with root (06/08/2010) by flipzmode failed to install for some reason),
then trying to update from Amon_RA recovery,
get the following message -

Seems like the download is currently bad. I'm getting the same error from clockwork recovery, and it appears to be a package verification.
That's the same problem I'm running into as well. Anyone have any insight how to fix this?

i havent had a chance to thoroughly research this. this is the first thread ive read about unrevoked stuff, but we used a modified version of /system/bin/reboot because the stock version wouldnt allow the "reboot recovery" command.
i appreciate your support by using my ROM and according to the error posted above, put this version of reboot into your system/bin folder and rename to reboot.
after you've replaced the reboot binary in /system/bin with the linked one below, attempt the update again.
let me know if there are any other issues!

This worked for me! Thanks so much!
personally im going to hold off on applying their method because of a big red flag they note at the very bottom of their page:
Radio update (as of yet undissected).
*
Behavior unexpected; anticipated upgrade to baseband 2.05.00.06.10, but on one EVO resulted in 1.39.00.05.31, and on another resulted in 1.39.00.04.26.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the radio is not something to lightly mess around with and since they can't seem to accurately update it to show the correct version number, something is not being done properly.
in addition to sprint pulling the OTA due to a bug where if the radio is updated twice too quickly the phone won't turn on again, make me very hesitant to update the radio. these are only my opinions, but i will wait.
for those who are a bit more adventurous than me and have done this update, what version does your radio show?
Hmm, well the update installed after pushing joeykrim's file, but I'm not sure if everything went through because I am still showing the same baseband...
I did not do the update from HTC yesterday because I wanted to keep unrevoked and WiFi Tether working.
what I'd like to know is if I install THIS new unrevoked patched with the OTA from yesterday, if this will wipe my phone? is this like flashing a rom where your phone gets wiped completely or more like the first unrevoked where everything stayed the same on the EVO?

as i quoted above in my previous post, unrevoked says the radio baseband version doesn't update. on two phones they tried, one shows the original baseband the other shows the last OTA baseband...
to me, this is a red flag and i will wait.
another method for you to check if this update was applied successfully is to check your build version, it should read, "1.47.651.1 CL195459 unrevoked"

short answer, no this will not wipe your phone.
longer more technical answer:looking through the updater-script file in their .zip file, only files in /system are patched, wimax radio updated, kernel updated and radio updated. nothing in /data so no settings or 3rd party apps are touched.

*Root-safe* stock OTA 1.47.651.1 *incremental* update w/ radio+WiMAX

IMPORTANT: The process described in this post breaks WiMAX, so I have removed the download links, and I recommend that no one attempt it. Please see this thread for a way to get from the original stock everything all the way up to the latest rooted OTA with the latest radio+WiMAX firmwares without even needing adb.
~~~ remainder of this post retained for historical interest only ~~~
Background: I didn't want to flash a full /system partition to upgrade my EVO 4G from Flipz's rooted stock 1.32.651.6 ROM to the latest 1.47.651.1, and I feel better using a barely modified "official" update from Sprint/HTC, so here's what I did:
Allowed the phone to download the update from Sprint/HTC. (It downloads into /cache.)
Copied the update to my computer and unzipped it.
Edited the META_INF/com/google/android/updater-script. (See below for a diff.)
Removed the recovery.img from the firmware.zip. (I don't want to go back to a stock recovery.)
Deleted the patch files for Sprint_Qik.apk and Sprint_TV.apk, since I've deleted those apps from my phone.
Edited the /system/build.prop file on the phone to remove the line that Flipz added at the bottom, thus restoring it to its stock condition (sha1=ee40d5143cf1089af2575045a9db9061f0d0dca9).
Zipped the update back up and signed it.
Download the update here:
OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_rootsafe.zip
(md5=913c7594ca8ca94594a2c8e1ec9b5564)
Download the original build.prop file here:
build.prop-1.32.651.6
(md5=a29ab0ec25ad976bd12bc8bad5a97063)
Alternate: If you kept Sprint TV and Sprint Qik, use this update zip instead:
OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_rootsafe-Sprint.zip
(md5=410f57feeaebcf89c5497cd6e599a807)
Before you begin: You MUST be using a rooted stock 1.32.651.6 ROM, such as this one released by Flipz. Because this update is an incremental update, it cannot apply to any other ROM, even custom ROMs having the same base system version.
How to install this update:
Caution: There has been a report that updating using this method breaks the WiMAX. If that's true, it can only be because HTC must have added some new function to their recovery program that the custom recoveries don't have. It is recommended that you run a Nandroid backup in case you need to revert.
Download the two files linked above.
adb push OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_rootsafe.zip /sdcard/ (Or copy the update zip to your SD card by some other means.)
adb remount
adb push build.prop-1.32.651.6 /system/build.prop (See below for what to do if this step fails.)
adb reboot recovery
Run a Nandroid backup just in case.
Flash from the update zip and reboot.
The radio+WiMAX updates will install. This takes a while. Don't touch it. When it's finished, it will reboot on its own.
You'll find yourself in recovery one last time. Reboot.
It'll sit on the "4G" splash for a long time. Don't panic.
Once the home screen appears, go to Settings, About Phone, and verify that your "Software number" is 1.47.651.1 and your "Baseband version" is 2.05.00.06.10.
You may need to remove and re-add some home screen widgets.
If you're still using su and Superuser.apk from Flipz's stock rooted ROM, you will need to install the su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip from this thread. It's a much, much newer version than the one Flipz included. It's an update zip, so install it via recovery.
Enjoy!
What to do if pushing build.prop fails:
This probably means you haven't unlocked NAND by flashing the engineering SPL. That's okay. Your custom recovery program probably supports adb while in recovery mode. If so, you can simply reboot the phone into recovery, perform step #4 from above, skip step #5, and continue from step #6.
For the curious, here's the diff of the updater-script from the stock update to mine: updater-script-1.47.651.1.diff
Troubleshooting
If you're getting an error that says assert failed: apply_patch_check, it means something about your system is different from a totally stock 1.32.651.6 system. Most likely you're running a custom ROM, not a rooted stock ROM, you've already applied the update, or you've installed some kind of hack like QuickBoot. Because this update is an incremental update, it can only be applied to a rooted (but otherwise unaltered) stock 1.32.651.6 ROM. Try flashing Flipz's stock rooted 1.32.651.6 ROM and then proceeding with the steps above under "How to install this update."
If Wireless Tether gets stuck when starting tethering, it probably means you still have the old and crusty su and Superuser.apk. Install the su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip update mentioned above to get the latest set of superuser tools. Then Wi-Fi Tether should work fine.
Thank you. Will see if this fixes my broken 4G.

Does this include all of the contents of the original update, including the change to the Bit Rate of the Camera?

Get the rootsafe-Sprint.zip instead. The only differences between it and the stock update are that it doesn't include the recovery image and it preserves setuid+setgid root for /system/xbin/su.

Also, OP:
Does 4G work for you after this? I remember reading in some other threads that 4G wasn't working for images flashed without the default recovery. Not sure if I'm taking it out of context or if this is an issue.

It's exactly the update package furnished from Sprint over-the-air (the 30.2 MiB one), but with one line added to the updater script so that the update doesn't kill the setuid permissions on /system/xbin/su.
That means it changes everything Sprint changed in the latest update, including kernel, radio, WiMAX, and anything else.
So can I use this over a rooted Fresh .53 without breaking the root? Is this what you are running?

There's no 4G coverage in my area, so I can't know whether it works for sure. I can turn on 4G, though, and it says "Scanning." Also, the ip link command shows the wimax0 network interface is present, so I would assume that means the kernel module loaded successfully.
FWIW, I flashed the update using toast's recovery (md5=0ba574fe3a8d82e4e796cc306efa63a7). It definitely goes through the extra reboot cycle for flashing the firmwares. I see no reason why it wouldn't flash the WiMAX firmware, given that it's essentially the stock update process.

I can't guarantee the patches will apply cleanly against anything other than the stock 1.32.651.6. It won't hurt to try it. The updater script has checks to be sure everything will apply cleanly before it touches anything, so the worst that can happen to you is that it will politely refuse to apply.

Right... Well, here it scans and then turns off wimax and then turns it back on and keeps doing that. Working with joshua_ last night I got it to keep scanning... It never did get an IP though but the interface was definitely present. I could see it with netcfg from the adb shell.
I pointed joshua_ to this thread to see what he things of these patches. I had been trying to help him use my phone to debug this issue so I don't want to mess things up too much for him.

It will probably fail if you don't have a file at /system/xbin/su, which only rooted ROMs have. If you're running totally stock, you should just use the automatic OTA update from Sprint. If you're running rooted stock, you should use this. (I was using Flipz's rooted stock initially, so that's what I tested against.)

What recovery are you using? Amon RA 1.7.0.1 wouldn't work for me. It kept complaining about no signatures, even though I had signed the update. I used toast's recovery successfully.
If that's not the problem, then it can only be that some file on your phone is not identical to the version from the stock 1.32.651.6. Did you replace the /system/build.prop file with the stock one linked in the OP? In particular, this update will not apply against Flipz's stock rooted ROM unless you replace that file with the really stock one.
Yep downloaded the buildprop in the OP and copied that over via ADB successfully(checked softwar version and it shows stock buildprop info)
Let me try it one more time and see exactly what it is bawking about.
Ok. Error Reads as Such:

Thanks for the quick response! I am running a rooted version of 1.32.651.6 and I've been waiting for something like this. So I should be OK using clockwork recovery to run this?

You can put it on your SD card by any means available to you. The only requirement is that your recovery program does not care that it's signed by someone other than HTC.

That can only mean that you're not using the stock ROM (w/ root added). This is an incremental update straight from the official sources with one slight tweak to preserve root access, so you must be using a stock system in order for it to apply.
Users of custom ROMs should be flashing new versions of those custom ROMs. The incremental upgrade path here will not work on custom ROMs.

[Q] How to get OTA 1.78.401.2

For the few days ive been trying to get the OTA to install correctly.
I have seen other people talking about this, and i have tried all i could find about this problem.I
m not sure if im posting this in the correct place, sorry if nok!
I did find out its because of the used custom recovery that it wont install.
So using the allinone tool i put the stock recovery on, i believe with succes.
And i had also installed the ota rootkeeper app (not sure why)
But the OTA keeps on reporting errors when installing
assert failed apply patch check /system/app/phonesky.odex (long numbers)
E: error in internal sdcard/download/ota-ville u htc europe 1784012-1.53401.2 release-numberrapskwje.zip
status 7
aborted
I tried (in stock recoverymode) installing a zipfile i found somewhere which was the 1.78..update (I think) but that also gave errors, i cant find a ruu for 1.78, so cant try that.
Is there a complete list of things you have to do to get this update? and if so can someone help, thanks.

Retry to install Rootkeeper or u can do it later
Use this tool: [TOOL] HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 (find at Android Development). Boot to fastboot mode then reflash the "STOCK RECOVERY"
After that go to Setting-About-Software Update and install it with the choice "install now".u get it.
if u didn't use RootKepper,just re-root again with the same tool.
Have Fun.

Thanks, but I dont undersstand your answer.
Are you saying to : do the OTA update just after flashing the stock recovery?
Thats exactly what i did.
That was exactly what i did too.
so u can try re-flash the shipp Rom at "[ROM]Ville Shipped ROM Collection" (Thread of Football, at Development).then do it again.
Coz i think the Problem is at ur Stock Recovery.mb there is smth not right there...
i did exactly what i wrote and it worked for me.
Good luck!
Ok, i will try :
using the europe 1.53 ruu(from post from "Football")
then use the all_in_one tool to put the stock-recovery back again
then try the OTA again
i will let you know later on,..thank you
I ran the europe 1.53 ruu(from post from "Football")
After a while it said error 155 image update error, get correct image
I still have no idea how to get the 1.78 update,
Can anyone help please?
=====> Never mind, luckily today football released a 1.78 basis rom which does work for me

OTA update

Phone has just told me that an update; 'System enhancement 59.02 MB' is available, I've downloaded it, installed it and the phone has rebooted.
However... it reboots into Clockworkmod recovery so I have to select 'Reboot now'.
Aswell as producing an 'abnormal reset' error, the update is still available; it doesnt seem to have installed.
Phone has been rooted with superoneclick following HTC bootloader unlocking. As nandroid backup was not available from recovery, I installed clockworkmod recovery. Is this causing the issue? Can I stop the phone booting into recovery every time?
Help?
Please?!
you need stock recovery to get OTA updates.. flash the stock recovery and you will be fine
Thanks.
erm. How?

Allow me to say it better: You need a stock recovery to implement the OTA updates - you can download w/o it but must have it to install it.
How do I get stock recovery or disable/uninstall clockworkmod?

I used the all-in-one toolkit to unlock bootloader and all that good stuff. But i never flashed a recovery. Phone is rooted and everything. Is it absolutely necessary to flash the recoveries in that toolkit? What are the purposes for it? (noob status >_>) I know what the stock one is but was always wondering about the rest and if you really needed them.

Actually, I haven't done root yet to this specific phone, just for my previous ones.
Try to look in that linked thread to search for an answer.
Is this a TMO US update?
ive just got my update for my sim free carrier free one s. Im in the uk.
Not sure what the changes are supposed to bring...cant say ive noticed any difference at all yet.
This is very frustrating, it's really not happening for me.
I've unrooted & reflashed with stock recovery then downloaded update but it's still failing to install.
assert failed: apply_patch_check ("SystemUI.apk", big code)

Dammit. Is the phone getting the wrong update? Can anyone help please?

For the OTA update you will nedd to have stock recovery on your phone, bootloader relocked and a stock rom without any apps uninstalled.
Relock the bootloader?!
Why?!
HTC allow me to unlock it, so surely they should support an unlocked bootloader?
Locked with AIO toolkit and trying update again...

Thats most important for a sucessfull update. Had this problem with TMO Germany and after relocking the bootloader everything went fine. I used the RUU instead the OTA.
My update always stopped upon a checksum failure as long as the bootloader was unlocked. It was gone after relocking.
Someone please try skype video chat
Hello,
Can someone please see if the video chat in Skype is fixed.
Preferably someone who has already seen how bad it is before the update.
Thanks,

I finally got my update HTC One S simfree in Canada to 1.78
incase anyone cares
I got my update yesterday...maybe it's wishful thinking, but my battery seems to have improved...this moring i was left with 26% after playing all night...normally I would be down to 5%
Here's the OTA update I got today:
OTA_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2-1.53.401.2_release_258562piuubd9lrapskwje.zip
radio
does this update contain a radio update?
Can someone separate it and post it.
If you do please state which carrier/country you got the update from.
So far no t-mo usa update. Non usa customers claim the update solves the mutitasking issue reported on engadget.com for htc one x (s)

It says Error in file, have you tried redownloading it? Did you manually download the OTA file or did you get it the usual way (search for updates in phone).

I downloaded it directly from device
It says:
Code:
Verifying current system...
assert failed: blablabla
To me, this means:
It checks the system on your device to see if it can take this OTA, but the hash of your build.prop file does not match what it expects.
Maybe this OTA is not for your device or you're not on truly stock 1.53.
