So is it true the official OTA update to Gingerbread is here? Says connection failed"

So is it true the official OTA update to Gingerbread is here? Says connection failed"
So I hear the OTA update for Gingerbread for G2X is available. Well when I go into "about phone" and click the "software update check", it always searches on server and then eventually says "connection failed". I understand this is a know issue, but a lot of people are saying that they were able to update to gingerbread this way.
Right now I am running a stock G2X phone on Simple Mobile service. Does running on simple mobile have anything to do with it not updating OTA(over the air)? How can I update. I don't want to download a hacked up unofficial version of the Gingerbread. I want to do it the right way. Thank you.

Lg's software updater? From lg's website..

Don't use the LG tool, it bricks phones. Get to a spot with full bars and search for the update again. The connection is key.

no it doesnt, if u have a newer reliable computer you are good to go just follow the instructions rite the first time and everything will go smooth , the whole process takes 10 minutes tops, and if ur with simple i dont think u are getting an ota from tmobile lol

Can anyone else confirm that the ota update will not work because I'm using simple mobile? I was under the impression and was also told that simple mobil runs off T-Mobile. On the other hand, this is not the first time I've heard this, but I get a different answer everytime I call a T-Mobile store and ask. I'm also sure they don't like people that use simple mobile so of course. So can anyone confirm this with a decent explanation? Thank you.
And to the otherperson, wakeboarder, so I need full bars and it should work. Do you have simple mobile as well?

I think it sarni is right, if your not on the tmo network you won't get it via ota. Best bet is to use the lg update tool. That's how I did it and it was painless.

Can someone please walk me through the manual update process. I have an Apple Mac Mini which is 6-9month old and a Dell Windows XP which is old as hell but still works decent. And also a few questions:
1) is this update an official legit gingerbread update
2) If the phone does become bricked, will LG repair since it is their update
3) Step by step instructions please, I just got my phone back from LG and don't want to f it up.
Thanks guys.

The updater tool only works with windows. Also, it only works with phones that are not refurbed.

oh, that's right. :/

Well step one would be to get ride of that apple junk. There is a reason that it doesnt work on apple because apple the corp[eration is a bunch of Asses and they dont make there stuff compatable with anyone else they think they are the only company out there that does this stuff. So I say good for LG for beating them at there own game and making there tool not compatable with apples junk. It would probally brick you phone anyway because it is not an Iphone. Once you do that you will be alot better off and your life will be easir since PCs are compatable with almost everything.
Then go to LGs website go to the mobile section go to support got to tmo p999dw or at this point it might say G2x there should be instructions for it on the site but instasll the mobile support tool them Make sure you install the drivers and then it will be smothsailing seeing as how you will have a fresh new PC. And yes the other Dude is right it just makes sence even if the other company uses tmos network it they only rent from them they would not have any control of OTA stuff TMO would not give them the rights to that for free. There customers are not TMOs so TMO does not care about them. As far As I know the LG update and the OTA are identical that is what I am told I am wondering that myself. The only thing that might be different and I really dought it is someone said that the OTA has the full 1080p and the LG update only shoots 720p. I'm not sure if that is true I also dont know if it is Just 1080p or 720p for both I think that the stock GB camera app only shoots 720p but I really dont know. So there you have it.

I'm running G2X with gingerbread update on simple mobile as well and having issues with internet and MMS service. I'm using APN that I set up to work with Simple Mobile but it keeps switching back to the T-Mobile APN. And there is nothing I can do with that. So unless there is some kind of solution on that problem, do not update to Gingerbread.

Simple Mobile is an MVNO of T-Mobile, correct? The problem is that their sim card uses T-Mobile's MCC and MNC. At boot up the phone looks at that and then sets the APNs accordingly. Since the phone was built for TMO it thinks that is what it should be. Solution is to set it and not turn your phone off. You can also edit the "apns-conf" file in /system/etc and put in settings for Simple Mobile. I believe that file will take precedence over other settings. You need to be rooted. After changing the file for Simple Mobile's APN settings select reset to default. If you don't know how to structure the file give me Simple's info and I'll make the file for you. Then just back up the old one, install the new one and see if it works.

Reboot or not reboot, it is still switching to TMO apn. So as far as I understood I have to root the phone first, then edit "apns-conf" file?

After I rooted the phone, I went to APN settings and (YYYYYEEEAAAAHHHHH) WAS ABLE TO CHANGE T-MOBILE APN TO SIMPLE MOBILE!

[q] vodafone smart 2 recovery mode/root

Hi Guys,
Very new to the forums, and have extensively searched for an answer before posting...BUT cannot find a specific solution to my problem!!
I have the VODAFONE SMART 2, Firmware Version 2.3.7, Kernel Version 2.6.35.7
I WANT TO ROOT THIS DEVICE!!!! .....but it will not boot up in recovery mode!!...it just resets factory data..!!!
I KNOW HOW TO GAIN ACCESS BY HOLDING VOLUME UP AND POWER BUTTON..!!
I HAVE SEEN THE YOU TUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO ROOT THIS PHONE..!!...but I cannot get in to recovery mode to execute the instructions..!!
SO PLEASE CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME CLEAR AND CONCISE INSTRUCTIONS HERE AND NOW WITHOUT REDIRECTION TO ANOTHER LINK ON HOW TO....... "ROOT THIS PHONE"......and get in to recovery mode..!!
ALL I WANT TO DO IS DELETE THE BLOODY BLOAT WARE...LOL
Thanks :good:

Anyone? I'm sure I'm not the only one who is experiencing this problem with this phone, I've seen a fair few people ask the same question on the net but not one has been answered.

So I take it no body knows then, well over 100 views and no help!....great forum this!!

Look on youtube (root vodafone smart 2 with out recovery).
Greets sander.

if you use the search function of the forum you can find 2 or 3 threads about Vodafone smart 2 and also the solution at your problem, the recovery cwm style, a custom rom, root methods... just search
phone: sgs2 GT-I9100
kernel : dorimanx 5.79beta
main rom: rr 2.7
second rom: cm 9.1
baseband: I9100XXLQ6

Thanks for the reply mate, yeah I have seen the Greek guys YouTube video, he doesn't command the best English to be fair, and mentions that the phone wont act the same after root. some nice clear instructions from a English fella would be appreciated. It was easy rooting my previous 858 vodafone with superoneclick and it didn't act different when rooted afterwards. I may well wait until an easier, less risky way of rooting this phone has been found. strange how some of the smart 2s can't get recovery mode.

It appears that I now have root, superuser is now present....Could you give me a list of the apps that I can safely uninstall on this phone and what is the best way to uninstall these pieces of Vodafone stock crud from my phone? tried with Titanium backup while rooted and it said it couldn't find the apk file to the app I was trying to uninstall.
Thanks for your advice, it is appreciated.

You have a list of all apps that can delete in the same thread that u find recovery.zip I use Root Uninstaller free to delete app, after u fave to do a factory reset to see the free space after deleting, But u have to Root again by tha same way, becouse after Reset you will lost Root.
Hit thanx button if i helped.

Right thanks for all your help guys:good:
Just so you know, if you delete your stock camera app from this phone because like I found the shutter speed was slower than slow!!!...the BEST replacement that works like a charm on this phone is LG CAMERA PRO.."or the free one"....a beautiful camera that gives the best photo and video quality this phone has to offer...and I tried all the camera apps believe me...lol....

[Q] What do I do to upgrade 4.1.1. (Ger) to 4.1.2. (Ger)? (I've forgotten!)

Hi all
Sorry to bother you. I upgraded my UK Note to the German JB 4.1.1. a few weeks ago and it's been flying since. I noticed today though, that SamMobile had the German 4.1.2. version available for download (N8010XXUCMA5 / N8010OXACMA5), so I'm now in the process of downloading it.
What I need to know is, is it simply a case of me doing what I did to upgrade to JB before? I used Odin if I remember right, and pointed it toward the ROM I wanted to flash with. Is that all that's needed?
Also, do I need to backup my present setup or won't it affect my present apps when I flash with 4.1.2.?
Many thanks guys

Odin flash --> User Data/Apps is not deleted --> reroot (if you want)
Backup is always a good idea

Backing up your current setup is always a good idea, but I had no issue when I flashed it.
Assuming that your not rooted, use Odin or use Exynos Abuse to root and then...
If you are rooted then get a copy of Mobile Odin and select everroot.

Thanks guys
I'm not rooted at the moment. Do I need to root? I haven't felt the need to do so until now, so I'm not really bothered about rooting...

No pressing need to root so if you don't want to, then just use Odin to flash it.

You do not need to root to flash using odin just go on the link on my signature to get the tutorial

Great.
One more question. I swapped from a UK ROM to the German JB one. Is it an easy procedure to go back to the official UK ROM if and when ver. 4.1.2. is available in the UK?
Cheers

Yes it should not be a problem the same procedure but make sure you take a back up

Thanks all
11 minutes and counting before the new ROM is d/loaded...

Just had a look at the rooting guide (thanks Samir) and the first option looks very easy (ExynosAbuse app). If I was to use this method would I lose any functionality of the Note at all? Also, if I have to send my Note back, would Samsung object to the note having been rooted?
Cheers

I dont think mobile odin will flash the hidden or bootloaders, odin or heimdall is a better option
the exynos abuse patch doesn't work on the MA (4.1.2) builds, if you want root use cfautoroot through odin on those.
Rooting will cause issues with samsungs warranty. If you need to return a device to samsung then you need to restore it to stock rom, with no root, they are using a binary counter though that you can get rid of by using triangleaway.
don't forget to use the search on the forum for these topics, there's been quite a bit about them

Well I've followed the instructions like last time, but it won't update - it keeps saying the process has 'FAILED'
Can anyone shed any light on why I can't update???

Confirm that Kies is not running

Hi guys
Thanks for the quick replies. I must admit to being a plonker of the highest order - I never put the tablet in d/l mode did I
It's doing its business now. Roll on 4.1.2. goodness!!!

[GUIDE] Rooting your Huawei Ascend Mate

Hi Folks,
we at the Recieved my Huawei Ascend Mate Threat thought of make it easier for future or new HAM users to root their phone.
For that i reread the whole Threat and extracted the various mentioned rooting options.
IMPORTANT!
Rooting with any of the mentioned methods obviously voids your warranty.
I think that everybody knows this by now, but I'm not responsible if something goes wrong
Having said these standard stuff lets kick off!
First I start with the Method I used and many others, and i think this is the simples rooting method i ever came across.
The easiest is Rooting your HAM with eRoot
1) Get the eRoot Programm from Version 1.2 <- This Works till B221
1.1) For Higher Firmware Versions, like the new B905 use eRoot Version 1.3.4
2) Dig in your phone and enable usb debugging in developer options and in security enable unknown origin
3) Hook up your phone the your rig and on ask select MTP mode and install the Huawei HiSuite (phone drivers )
4) fire up eroot and let it find your phone, if it does hit root ...
5) reboot and that should be it
Confirmed to work on multiple Build Stages of the Stock Rom which currently is sporting version B221
Be aware that if your phone is bone stock you should firstly update the phones software to the newest possible version ...
-> B221 before rooting, otherwise it can cause problems
Second Rooting Method mentioned by PowerMan572
Detailed Instructions Here
i believe syaah used successfully this method
Third Method

this folder contains the rooting guide and app including the RootAssisstant v2.0. easy method of rooting and can be use for both chinese firmware and international firmware regardless of rom versions. rootassisstant v2.0 is in chinese but no need to worry as we need only to click one box in it. superuser is stable and can be updated in google play. hopefully can help as this is the first and stable method all the suppliers of HAM in China use and provided to their customers.

Most of the time yes, but it really depends on which carrier you are (if you bought the phone with a contract) or where you bought it (which Store).
With eRoot you can if you rootet it with it, unroot your phone again.

I'm about to root my HAM with Eroot, I have 3 questions before I do :
1. Any bizarre things happen after rooting with Eroot? Like FC? App missing? etc... (seen people having issues or not after rooting)
2. Would I be able to get OTA updates after rooting? What about a custon recovery? If I install CWM recovery, would I be able to apply OTA updates? If not, would unrooting the HAM allow me to OTA update my phone (then root again afterward)?
3. If something goes wrong while rooting, would I be able to install offcial B113 ROM from SD so I would go all fresh again like I first got the HAM out of the store?
Thanks for your advices.
Have a good one.

In some cases we heard in the big Threat Here That you run into trouble witth OTA and root. So we all suggest that the rooting process should be initiated after you upgraded to the desired Firmwareversion.
As im aware there is currently no "real" meaning permanent CWM Recovery present. Only a sideload Recovery, some features didn't work properly, but I assume they manage that.
OTA Updates: I think it's the easiest to unroot it with eRoot and then root it again after the OTA

Thanks Onecton for all the inputs, really helpful !
One last question though, I downloaded Eroot v1.2 from the OP, proceeded as indicated, installed HiSuite, PC drivers etc., tried few times to plug my phone when Eroot told me to, but eachtime failed by getting "creating process failed" message, looked like Eroot couldn't recognize my phone... Oh, I'm on latest official OTA B221 FW.
So I went searching over the internet, found there was a Eroot v1.3.3, really not sure if it's official, cos there was (only) v1.2 official app from eroot.me (holy moly ! eroot.me website is gone !!! it's a online sim unlock codes site now ! What happened?), so, with this v1.3.3, it recognized my phone within a second.
Before I clic on that root button, just wanted to check with you experts if the Eroot v1.3.3 is legitimate, or is it some sort of fake app out there.
Thanks again !
Have a nice day.

Thanks again Onecton for the quick reply.
I've downloaded v.1.2 form your original link way before the site is gone (it was yet there 2 days ago!), so no need to be sorry for that
I also fired up v.1.2 like you did, it started to update itself by downloading quite amount of data like you said, but when the update is done, it gave me that error message No such thing with v.1.3.3, it doesn't download anything and recognized my phone immediately... I saw there's even a v.1.3.4 out there!

hi,
manage to download B905 android 4.2.2 rom (presently chinese firmware only). flashed it and seems stable.
i am able to root using EROOT v1.3.4 thanks to you onecton. totally easy and lightning fast rooting procedure.
i downloaded GAPPS (links provided by svvv) which are stable and suitable for the rom.
now everything seems fine and no issue for now.
just want to update.
EROOT v1.3.4 is a 'go' to use (maybe older version can be used too).
Gapps link by svvv is also good to go. and,
both links by dandybq and mixterz are also good to go.
thanks.

Rooted Huawei Mate
I just rooted my Huawei Ascend Mate, I got rid of some bloatwares on the phone such as Kingsoft Office and the language packs.
However, my internal memory size did not increase.
Just wondering,
1) did Huawei divide the 8gb internal memory into 2 parts, 4gb each? the ROM and usage internal memory (detected as SD2, my external SD detected as SD1)
2) How do I install into the Rom part?
this is a weird phone!

My guess is that the 8 GB are indeed divided... But i wouldnt recommend trying to install something in that system reserved space. My guess is that the caches and the ram resides there.
But I am no expert on that stuff.
Maybe its better to post these specific questions over in the main thread .
But in some aspects this is indeed a weird phone

Hi onecton.
Do you think we can use the Rom Cleaner which is also provided in universal use (i guess), to clean up bloatware during installation of rom?
:- about obsidian question, im too think that the ham 8gb is divided coz we have only around 5-6 gb of usage. Maybe the system files resides there. At least we still can use 64gb microcard as expandable memory.
Thanks.

well this sounds tempting ^^ but i don't know.... maybe i read a bit more into it... since i really like the stock 4.2.2. experience... i found that huawei is really generous with its base system, you can just freeze some of the Emution stuff like the lockscreen, still i would like to prefer a bone stock 4.2.2. or 4.1.2. simply because i don't like that OEM overlay ..

can i install 4.2 or 4.3 on my mate ?? from where i can download this rom??

Netgear NeoTV Prime. Post anything and everything you want about it.

Well The purpose of this thread since i couldn't find anything related to this is to talk about this device to share info on what have people done to it or just share their personal experiences. My experience to buying it was i saw it on clearance for $39.99 and bought it just to use the app showbox and everything beside that is a plus. I haven't rooted it yet but i plan too even tough idk what i could do by rooting it since i don't think much development has gone into it. Well i hope people post on this if not i made a dud.
Here is a site with info for rooting and the specs and info on this box

Do you have any issues with the youtube app? Cause for some reason it kept force closing this past week then i uninstalled and the app said it wasn't compatible anymore on the play store so i had to download it from aptoide and now it works fine don't know why, and the send to youtube option doesn't work that well now as it used to two weeks ago i think the change of youtube to always play all videos on a playlist instead of just one just screwed it up

Neotv GTV100 update to 4.0 or 4.2.2
Hi,
I got my hands on this device in dec last year. Box perform well with USB mouse and keyboard, appear to be sluggish
with its original remote. Image on TV is good at 1080P. I can list what app I use upon request.
I ask for help me upgrade this box to 4.0 or 4.2.2 . My knowledge is limited in this area.
Up to now I was able to do the following:
Install recovery (2e) and being able to flash from usb any image listed below.
I used the Amazon fire package "adbfw115" to flash recovery, usb keyboard, hub, mouse, rom toolbox apk.....etc.
I can provide details upon request
I flashed original image found online
NeoTVPrime-ota.v1.0.9.zip
Then I updated the device. I was able to save the following images.
NeoTVPrime-ota-v1.1.33.zip
NeoTVPrime-ota-v1.1.45.zip
I can upload upon request, both are less than 300Mb
If somebody can take a copy from LG GTV 4.2.2 update I can compare with this ones.
I do not know how to fix/upgrade an image, I am just a tester.
Thanks

Hi, can you please tell how do you flash the firmwares?
After I did the root, Chrome keeps crashing...
I've sent you an e-mail before, found the firmwares online, but still don't know how to flash them.
Thanks!

Neotv access recovery and apply original updates, wipe cache, factory reset

Hi,
sorry too busy....
Soooooooo, you must reboot in recovery.
You can use the fire adbfw117 (google is your friend) or rom toolbox (i have paid version) or ....probably there are many other. You must enable Setting - Applications - debugger IP ( your PC IP) + Remote debugging and Mock locations.
Once in recovery - (you need a USB keyboard) is a old (2e) version you can:
1) reboot
2) install update.zip from USB (I was able to flash any of the version listed above, I lost root but was able to re-install using the pawn patch (many thanks to people who made it happen)
3) wipe data / factory reset (that's probably what will help you with chrome issue)
4) wipe cache partition
Here I'm stuck because I do not know how to "mod" a rom or recovery. I was hoping
somebody can land me a hand to go further
Good luck

anyone have any ideas on using this device for video capture. it has the required hardware really just needs the software

Looks like everyone's given up on this.
:crying: I guess I'm done too.
