.... or maybe download link from google?
Hello all,
Wondering if someone could try this since I already upgraded won't work but when i got the update on my phone I was able to go to the cache folder and extract from fumo file the following zip that is on mediafire.
Called OTApkg.zip like the mt3g update file.
Should be the current update.
Anyone on the original firmware should be able to flash this from recovery and be up and running with new firmware
Let us know if it worked.
Just rename update.zip and put to root of memory card
boot with vol down and power.
down and select recover
vol up and power to get options
select update from update.zip and should run.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?jm90w7hr922bpd4
You didn't get a chance to test this at all? Can anyone test this and tell me if it works. Before even thinking about rooting I always like to have a set of file to recover with. G1, original mytouch, and slide i all have had way to undo before I rooted.
Didn't work for me. When I tried it I got an error that said
Code:
-- Invalid operation --
On a side note, when I reboot into recovery I get this
Code:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Anyone else? Is this correct?
Reviewing the code does look like the right file but may not be able to be flashed manually.
First line in update script is mount ( "MTD" , "system" , "/system" )
Looks like boots is a special "fota" mode that will allow modification and this update run like that won't initialize it.
I tried to flash it also. I also got the same "Invalid Operation."
I pushed it to /cache/ as OTApkg.zip and ran *#*#CHECKIN#*#* and still nothing at all.
Great. I have no idea what I'm going to do. Ever since I wrote my downgrade tutorial to downgrade from the OTA to Stock, I figured I would have gotten the OTA notifications again, but nope. Never received anything and it seems I can't use this.
This is a problem.

Very big problem! By chance, when you boot into recovery, do you see the same line as I have above?

Yes, I also saw the same thing when I booted into recovery on my G2(before I returned it), so that line is not a problem.

Yep, but we still have a problem with not being able to update to the OTA and perm-root.

Very true. In the Vibrant section, those guys were able to make update.zip's that were flashable through the stock recovery. Maybe someone can do that for us with this update. I have no dev experience at all but I am willing to test whatever comes up.
It was weird because when I looked at it
It was in the cache directory but not directly
in the cache directory was a file fumo which on browsing just looked like a file on the phone using sufbs.
But when I copied it to the device using the app that is when fumo turned into a folder and opened and saw that file.
I wonder if there is anyway T-Mobile can push the OTA to you?
The rep I talked to told me there were 2 updates. I would be happy to see one. She said once I made a call I should get the OTA update notice. That hasn't happened.

No, there isn't a way for T-Mo to push the OTA to you.
Did the rep say anything about the other update?
If you bought the phone full price instead of on contract be sure to check online and change the phone Tmobile has for you to a Mytouch 4g I think that could have something to do with it. I had mine listed as a Mytouch 3G still and I went and changed it and hope it'll make a difference.
Pretty sure that just changing the phone on my tmo wont change. Only thing that i can think of minus something being changed since i got it off the device vs a direct download if someone can get the link or call tmo to check on thier plans if past thier time frame they may be able to do something
Just hopefully someone could get the google link for it instead.

I called T-Mobile today about the OTA and they said that it did matter that my plan wasn't set a mytouch package. They told me the OTA should have gone out after my first phone call. Sounds like a bunch of bull**** to me, just figured I'd fill in anyone who was interested. They told me I should have it within 48 hours. *crosses fingers*
*edit* my friend works at T-mobile, she just received the phone herself and after your phone is set as a Mytouch4G, use *#*#checkin#*#* should help start the process, now were both waiting...
I've been waiting since Sunday. Hopefully has nothing to do with having debugging enabled.
Been leaving the phone connected most of the time running
Code:
adb logcat | findstr clients.google
to try and snag the link for the update.
downloaded "aLogcat" from market. it allows a log filter, any one know what i can place in filter so it does not catch entire logs of phone activity. Thanks.

I've been messing with this. It seems you can put in a filter (I put clients.google) but it doesn't matter if you set it to save to your card periodically it saves the entire logs... but you can open those on a pc later and search them or if you're a linux type you can cat file | grep "clients.google"
I rooted my transformer using the pure root method in the development transformer forums for devices that already received 3.1. People have said that they receive their update and unroots their device, but I haven't even received the FOTA. I only rooted my device; without clockwork or a custom rom. I did delete some pre installed programs (bloatware) with titanium backup but I re installed them. Not sure if the damage has been done but I want someone to confirm if that can be the issue and how do I go about to properly reinstall the bloatware.
I know .11 will not install on a rooted device. I even unrooted several different ways installing the normal software from the asus site and never could get ota working... I am wondering if any others have got updates working after unrooting... (ended up exchanging at Best Buy for a new one....

I am having the exact same problem and a lot of people will. Once you root and try to unroot it appears you cannot receive anymore OTA or make them work for that matter. I have found how to get the notification telling me that the .11 update is available for me. (Place the update file in sdcard/asus/update/) and then rename it US_epad-user-8.4.4.11.zip and rebooting. After this you can choose to make the update but it will not work. It will just go to the stock recovery with the android and the exclamation after a one second loading appearing that it will work. After you turn it off and back on it will tell you (System Update Failed Error (12) )Still trying to figure out why it is not accepting the update.
You can get the update in the "Just got an OTA update" thread.
Thank you for that valuable information. It worked like a charm. Now I just need the original update for the dock.

for just patiently wait for FOTA or rooted repack... The improvements are not HUGE.

Didn't even work. I guess my device is not recognizing the file or something. I guess I'll have to wait or probably get use to installing roms

Did you tried the explanation give in the thread that the guy on top of my post suggested? It helped me out.

Meh I am givin up for today. Flashed back to stock recovery, plopped the update package on a card in the format of EP101_SDUPDATE.zip, reboot to stock recovery, just kept getting the exlamation point. Can't flash the thing any other way either.
Guess I'll wait for a rooted 3.2 to come out.
You are not suppose to rename the file. Extract the contents of the ZIP file to the ROOT DIRECTORY of the MicroSD card.
Works everytime for me....while the renaming of the file never worked for me.
It's weird because, I downloaded the txt, and rename it, placed it on the root of the so card and the update passed flawlessly.

"Then press volume up when you see the text on the top left of the screen"
I did it just how the instructions stated but I never saw the text on the top left of my screen. It just boots up normally with stock boot animations. The update notification is not present either. I guess I'll try and see if not renaming it might help. Even though I don't think leaving the file extension to just "file" will help. I'll try...

hmm...Probably because you extracted the .zip to the SD card. It just stated to move the .zip to the sd card. Maybe extracting might work.
None of the methods worked. Guess I'll be installing roms. I guess when I deleted some of the preinstalled apps, my device became disqualified for any sort of updates.
I don't understand most of you. You buy this stuff as early adopters, complain about the price, then ***** about how it "doesn't work", then hack/break it and then complain i doesn't update properly or whatever. Then come on here and piss all over the vendor.
Really?

haha. Who's *****ing? My transformer still works great. Just wanted to diagnose why I wasn't getting an update so I can be more informed about it and see if I should just stick to installing roms or unroot.
Right. That says exactly what I just said, and did. Anyway.. I eventually got it to work. I had to go compeletly back to stock as apparently deleting stuff from the stock rom altered it enough that the update didn't see it as the same rom.
Tried to root after and got froze up at the boot screen like everyone else. Been playing with this too long. Understanding that we risk messing up our devices by rooting and such.. other issues that are in complete control of Asus such as build quality... IE light bleed, bezel issues, freezing, touch screen not sensing touch are making me rethink this product. Sigh. Sucks too because the idea is awesome. Just wish the build quality was there.
Trying to install v4.4.4 on my stock --not developer edition-- Droid Ultra. It is currently running v.4.4.2 (19.6.3.obake).
After the download, the phone reboots, gets about half-way through and stops with a message "error!". No other info provided. So far, the MFN doesn't have any answers.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this installed?
I have:
-reset to factory specs (via menu with phone booted up) and tried the install
-reset (via vol down, power) to factory specs and tried the install
Always ends with "error!" ..... thanks for any help.
Have you tried to RSD and keep data? I had that problem on the first update and that's what finally fixed it.

Updating the radios is surely what caused your problem.
The OTAs are usually patches to existing files, not replacements. That keeps them smaller.
If you open the OTA file and read through the updater script, you'll see that the first thing it does is run a hash against every file it will be updating. It's making sure that every file is stock, exactly they way the patch needs it to be to be successful. Without a check, it could patch a file with changes that break the file and therefore your phone.
In this OTA, the very last thing checked is the modem (radio). Since your was not the 4.4 radio it was looking for, it stops the update before anything at all is patched.
It took so long to get there because there are about 1000 files it checks, if I counted correctly.
You hadn't even reached the actual update part of the update.

I had replaced the radios with stock before trying to update to v4.4.4 .... when that didn't work, I thought the reset to factory specs would take care of that; no joy.
In the end, I love the HouseofMoto program .... that was really easy.

your phone has to be 100% stock or the update will fail. no root, no deleted/frozen bloat, nothing modified. if you don't want to do this, you cant take the update.
ok, thank you very much. So i just need to do a factory reset and then update phone then reroot ?Also are there any roms i can flash for the update?

usually custom roms don't contain all the needed files for a proper update. you need the factory stock file.
edit, sorry, missed the first part. yes fdr, then update, then re-root.
hey mister u need to manually download the latest and updated rom for it and then u have to put into sd card and then go to bootloader and try to flash it if u don't any trouble...
i dont know whats up with these jack holes re-wording and repeating what i already said today but its really starting to p me off.
Hi,
I'm kind of a newbie with phones but good with computers so:
I used the following Fix for the call volume issue on my OPO:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/tool-jlouder-v1-0-rc2-makes-your-phone-call-louder.69733/
Seems that because of this Fix I get an error when trying to run the the update OTA or sideloading.
I get following error:
E error in tmp sideload package.zip status 7 installation aborted
Others who have used this fix have same issues. Any easy way out??? I'm not rooted and otherwise stock.
"I think it's the volume fix that changes the md5 checksum on the xml file and therefore kills the update."
Thanks In Advance,
Ken

Don't you have a stock backup?
If you don't, have you tried reverting the values?
Wait... if you're not rooted then how did you perform the change in the file in the first place? Did you root, do the change and then unroot?
Like what badjoras said, revert back to the stock file and then apply the OTA.
I haven't followed up on the whole OTA readings, but there are zips out there that will bypass the check of the files. You can try looking into those as well.

Hi,
Not rooted, I just followed the steps in the fix I posted above.
To revert back to stock file, will that wipe all data? Don't want that.
I'm not great at the phone stuff yet , still learning but trying to be careful.
Can I sideload the previous version without losing data??
Recovery on this phone option is "wipe data factory reset???"
Sorry for being a dummy, it's a big learning curve for me,
Thanks, Ken
