Thank you joeykrim for the following:
RADIO - the radio is updated through a radio.diff.
SYSTEM - no system/app files are changed
it appears this OTA is much more extensive than the previous OTA.
this one appears to apply small patches to every application in /system/app. a few are large in size, but most are very small.
it also appears to patch:
16 files in system/bin
etc/wimax/
etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329.bin and (ap)
31 files in framework
28 files in lib
2 files in lib/modules - bcm4329.ko and sequans_sdio.ko
SYSTEM updated files (might be more, researching now):
wifi module - BCM4329B1_002.002.023.0396.0402.hcd
android.hardware.camera.flash-autofocus.xml
android.hardware.telephony.cdma.xml
ton of framework files
libCamera_donut.so
libCamera_eclair.so
Fixes & Bugs:
From user npace: (I extracted and fastboot flashed the kernel zImage. Here's a rundown of the issues that I tested for fixes
1. Touch input lag -- fixed -- tried with multitouch visualizer 2
2. Improperly grounded touchscreen -- fixed -- tried on multiple surfaces
3. 30 fps cap -- still there
same radio by your title?
Appears to be. I am waiting for it to finish downloading and I will attempt to upload.
This thread will probably be moved / deleted but I was just letting everyone know. Personally I am going to wait to hear from the Dev's on this download before even touching it.
is this breaking root access.. some unrevoked users via face book saying unrevoked is no longer working.. i guess they should have went all out and did the full root

Even if you rooted via toasts method, i would not update until a custom ROM is put out with the update included. You could lose root ability forever.
Anyone know the location of system updates are stored on the phone? I am trying to locate using the adb shell but have had no luck finding the download yet.

i didn't look into the last one and this is my first HTC phone so im not familiar with their OTA process.
perhaps try /cache? or any type of temp directory on /data or /sdcard?
we know it won't be on /system.
We install this from recovery, right?

I'd recommend not installing it at all until the devs here have had a chance to go through it and release it themselves. You risk loosing your root if you don't. Then follow their release instructions to apply it.
Btw the radio is 2.05.00.06.10 with this update.

I don't care if I lose root. I assume this update doesn't reinstall Sprint junk, so I'm good to go. That was the only reason why I wanted root access...

No, looks like just about all the preloaded APK's are in there, including the Sprint crap. I assume if you apply it as stock you'll get them back, but I could be wrong.

The official froyo release from HTC / Sprint will definitely contain all the "Sprint Junk" and if you've given up root to one of these updates and go to apply that it will all come back. You may never get root again in order to re - clean it up once you apply froyo.
Be patient. It won't take the devs here long to cook up an update for us. Flipz had the rooted .6 update rom out in 24 hours or so...
.....
Just took a look inside the zip file. All the apk files are there, including the sprint junk...
Just installed....all is well with root...

Hot off the presses. Get it here.
That file is the crappy "patch" version that tries to patch you from RC29 to RC30.
Here is the full update, which should be much more reliable
Obviously, don't install it unless you want to lose root access
Update for those who are interested: I went ahead and bought myself a new G1. One of the stores in the area had a couple. It still had RC28 (not RC29) on it, so I'm back in business. I'll just unlock my RC30 one and sell it on ebay.
OMG how stupid can they be... look what I see in the update script
# delete unneeded files
delete SYSTEM:system/bin/telnetd

There is. They added a kernel option "console=null", which I suspect basically makes it so that the physical keyboard no longer sends input to the console device. Note that there is still a root shell running on the console though.. it's just that now there isn't any way to send keypresses to that root shell.
Plus there are a ton of patches to the android apps and framework jars and such. Not sure what all changed there.
I'm in the process of modifying the patch, to apply to my phone without losing root access. More to come
What does the "applypatch" piece do?
That part looks different.
Interesting that it's only a 4 meg update, and that it only contains a new recovery.img and a new boot.img - I wonder what is different in those images. I hope they are keeping the recovery stuff in the open source branch updated - because, well, that's the nice thing for them to to do
Jesus Freke - when you get your patched-up version ready, please post it somewhere for us lazy bastards who want to ride your coat-tails
I just noticed something. This update doesn't wipe the system partition. If you had created a setuid copy of the shell ("su", or whatever), I don't think it will get deleted if you applied the update as-is.
but didn't you say it removes the use of keyboard in shell? If so we would still be up the creek. you know what a notice this update came really fast i never got and OTA until this(fishy) i had to force OTA. Well hope you work your magic JesusFreke.
Arg! dangit. I accidentally applied RC30 and lost my root access. I copied the wrong update file to my sdcard... grrrr!
So I'm out of the game. Sorry.
Oh, btw - I was wrong about the update keeping the setuid shell around. It completely wipes the permissions of the system folder, so if you did have a setuid copy of the shell, it will be set back to normal non-setuid status by the update. duh.
Sh**!! You were the shining hope , one question can you still get root through the adb shell? cuz if so you can save your a**
Nope. Like I said, I'm out of the game. Unless someone wants to trade me for a RC19/RC29 phone. Or until another root exploit is found. *sigh*
DOH! That sucks! Sorry to hear that, and thanks for taking one for the team.
So if an update does try to install do we just need to turn off the phone until a solution is found? I may need to go back to my Dash for a while until this all gets figured out!
The update that you meant to put on the card- was it a test? If the worst that will happen is the update will take maybe someone that doesnt mind the update could test it for you?

I'm sorry about that!
Also, I'm confused. Hadn't you updated the keys in your bootloader to prevent an update? Or does that simply prevent the phone from downloading an update?
Can not we flash back that old RC29 File again ????
The update zip contains the boot.img and the recovery.img. so when the update starts it rewrites JesusFreke's mod recovery.img
spoofing
could we spoof the version # on our device? thus ending the nag and the ability to force the upgrade, for the time being?

Yes. But I had accidentally re-signed the full update with the new key and updated my phone with it. I was in the process of modifying the update, and had grabbed the wrong file to sign and update.

mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
You can't remount that directory that unless you have root.
Use the dd command to copy stuff around (the cp command is not available). I should mention I'm a Windows guy, and am pretty clueless with Linux: my coworker figured the rest of this out once I got to a root prompt.
Incidentally, in the /system/bin directory there is a flash_image executable that changes the recovery.img used when you hard reset the device. I've noticed that I can run this without root access from a standard adb shell. Maybe we never needed to root the device after all... I think we can flash it without root access... I'm too scared to mess with that at all though.

Thanks. But you have to have root access for the flash_image command to work. Or more precisely, you have to have write access to the /dev/mtd/mtd# device that you are trying to flash.
I am also the same unlucky guy who had Press Update Button and now we are in RC30
Now what are the chances of our device to get root access or ability to flash Test_Signed code in RC30
well i removed( # delete unneeded files delete SYSTEM:system/bin/telnetd )and replaced the boot.img and recovery.img with jesusfreke's anything else i should edit before i try to resign and update?
Thanks to zinx for figuring out the url.

All versions since rc29 have had the same thing. Rc33 for a while said no. It is basically saying you *can* get root, just need a modified rom.
at last someone finds this.

I have a second G1, it is not rooted, my wife isn't into the rooting thing, but I want to update hers to 1.5 if I am thinking correctly, all i need to do is place the .zip file on her SDCARD and run the installer app correct.
I wonder if they have improved the Stock IM apps.
I was one of the first persons who received the log, and had been trying to figure out the link since 9:30am this morning. But I am in awe of Zinxx, how did he ever figure out the partner part of the link? Nice.. Thanks!

Update (2/26): Discontinued
Note: If you flashed this without first flashing the stock RUU, you may not be able to get into CWM. If you want CWM back, either flash the stock RUU and then this modified RUU or check out page 13 of this thread
Credit goes to angelchen1111 and nyckid58 for providing me with the information needed to put this together.
Features:
-Based on stock RUU and not de-odexed
-Rooted
-HSUPA enabled
-Unknown sources option added to settings for sideloading
-Browser home page set to Google
-Removed the following bloatware apps:
AT&T Code Scanner
AT&T FamilyMap
AT&T Hot Spots
AT&T Navigator
Blockbuster
Live TV
myAT&T
YPmobile
Installation
1) Use the HTC Inspire Hack Kit here to get S-OFF so that you can flash custom roms.
2) Download the zip file here [removed] and put it on your SD card. Don't rename it and don't put it in any folders.
3) On your phone, go to Settings > Applications, turn off fast boot, and then shut down your phone.
3) Boot into HBOOT by pressing volume down and power. Once you're in HBOOT, the installation will begin. A factory reset will be performed so have your data backed up.
Funny that you mentioned it's not de-odexed, I'm actually working on that right now using Android Kitchen. I'll let you know if it works with the HBOOT loader if you'd like.

In layman's terms, de-odexing modifies the system apps so that they can be manipulated (themed, etc.) more easily. It's sometimes a pain in the ass though and can lead to little bugs if the apps aren't de-odexed just right, so I just left everything how it was from HTC (odexed) for now.
If nyckid58 de-odexes it I'll post that in the first post as well, but both will be kept up until we verify that no bugs were introduced in the de-odexed version.

Ok, thanks for explaining it.
I'm still here, I've extracted and de-odexed all the files, the problem I'm running into is reintroducing it to the system.img. The de-odexed framework files add fine but the apps files is freezing up my computer. I'll update if anything else comes down.
Thank you for this. I wanted a minimally invasive option, so this is perfect for me. I just wanna be able to get rid of unwanted apps and bypass ATT's app blocking.

@GTG: I got the image compiled with the de-odexed files unfortunately though it throws off the size of PD98IMG.zip by about 120 meg. I tried to apply regardless but it wouldn't take. I'm thinking there is a size constraint, any ideas?

So how did it throw off the size of the zip so much? If you mount and modify the system.img should be the same size when you're done no?
edit: Regardless, if you're de-odexing it you might as well just package it as a CWM flashable zip instead of a system image.

System.img is the same size yes but I'm thinking the de-odexed files are throwing the compression off. I think you might be right about the CWM idea. I shall research how to do that. Thanks again GTG.

I tried to update my rooted TF using a repacked 8.4.4.11 update.zip file (the one with all the patch files in it), but it kept failing on checking of the existing APK hashes. Not sure why, but I got around it by doing a clean install of 8.4.4.5, manually applying the 8.4.4.11 patch, then taking all of the changed (between 8.4.4.5 and .11) files and packing them up in a zip file with an updater-script file.
You should be able to apply this to any US version TF (rooted or stock as long as you have CWR) and bring everything up-to-date without losing root or any of your other install modules, system APKs, etc.
Make sure you back up first, as this is something I quickly threw together and has not been properly vetted. If you find a problem, let me know and I'll try to get it fixed and updated ASAP.
You can also download this ZIP and just take out any APKs you are interested in (the google video apk seems to be popular for example).

Unless I misread this is just an update script and not a full ROM. So this would only work for people on 3.1 though right? You shouldn't flash this from 8.2.X.X for example?
Edit: Thanks this is a great idea, and I was just ready to try this when I saw Prime 1.6 out. Keep it up, I wonder if something like this would work when the 3.2 update comes out.

Looks like so; zip should be run on-top of 8.4.4.5.
thank you worked for me
This does not have SU in it (or anyhtign else "custom"), but when applied to a ROM that already has SU/busybox/anyhting else in it, those files will be retained.
This is an "update" in the sense that it only contains files changed between 8.4.4.5 and 8.4.4.11, so you will need to be coming from 8.4.4.5 (or perhaps anyhtign 3.1, not sure). It is nto really an "update" though, as all of the patch files (blahblahblah.apk.p) and the patch script have been replaced with full 8.4.4.11 version of the files and the script has been udpated to simply copy these over into the appropriate folders on yoru TF.
I see this being most useful for people who have modified their 8.4.4.5 install such that in will no longer be patachable using a script that pataches the existing files.
I just used this to update from 8.4.4.5_US and it seems to have worked just fine! I kept my superuser app, and nothing was touched. My apps, widgets, and settings are all in the right places. I've now got 8.4.4.11! Thank you very much rtadams89!
Thank you for this!! I've been racking my brain trying to get to a rooted 8.4.4.11 with a good CWM recovery and this did it!
thanks.

That is the boot animation I use, and I may have accidentally included this in the zip. If you want the real 8.4.4.11 animation, you can download the "update" 8.4.4.11 zip file that has been posted on xda and inside you will find that boot animation.

Is it possible to get a .zip for the WW version?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since I don't have a WW version myself, I don't have a need to do this and quite frankly because I don't have much free time, I don't want to say I'll do something and then not follow through. Further, I'm not sure I can install the WW versions on my US transformer. That said, I will see if I can whip one together. If you get impatient waiting, you can follow the same process I did and make one yourself:
Backup your current ROM/setup
Wipe your device (leaving CWR in place)
Install the stock 8.4.4.5 WW with the ZIP found on XDA
"Update" to 8.4.4.11 using the update zip found on XDA
Backup this new 8.4.4.11 ROM
Restore to your first backup
Take the backup of the 8.4.4.11 ROM you made last, and use your computer to "unyaffs" it
You will now have 8.4.4.11 versions of all the system files; Look at the updater-script file in the 8.4.4.11 update zip and remove any files you just "unyaffs"ed that aren't mentioned in there
Put all of the remaining files (in their folder structure) into a zip file
Copy the updater-script (and it's folder structure) from my download to your zip file
Verify that your final zip looks like the one I posted
You should then have a ZIP file that will bring all the files on your device up to 8.4.4.11 WW without touching any of your other files (like su).
My BT doesn't turn on either.
I went to this as a stepping stone while recovering from a failed root. Went to an older stock than this update. I notice a few slow downs here and there and BT not working, but that's about it.
What I would really love is an image of 8.4.4.11 stock/rooted. I like having it rooted for things like Titanium, but I still like having the stock image. I can't seem to get back to that now.

Welcome to the Kyocera DuraForce super thread
There isn't much information floating around for the DuraForce and I've created this thread to aggregate information as it's found so we have a single place for useful information, hacks, etc.
I'll keep the thread as up to date as possible and organize any information from future posts into the originals so people can find information easier.
There is a Lollipop update available for the device as of early February, 2016. I have found a way for users to update if the OTA fails (see below). I've also updated the below posts with information regarding the Lollipop update and moved the KitKat notes to another location (link for old notes is below)
Ota - lmy47v1218_2217
For those who are having trouble applying a FOTA on the DuraForce, check /cache/fota/xyz_fotalog_123.dat It's a text file that contains a lot of really good info on what is going on during a FOTA. Including errors. Keep a look out for signature mismatch errors.
I had errors with the following files. Took me a few tries to get the OTA applied as each attempt resulted in one error.
Uninstall Xposed (moar hacks)
/system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl (disable PTT/Speaker buttons)
/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml (sd card "fix")
If trying to address the issues manually does not work, follow the procedure below.
Download "vanilla" system image from HERE (link)
Extract zip file
Ensure at least 2Gb of storage is available for internal data
adb push mmcblk0p21_KVT49L_0617_0132 /storage/sdcard0/
adb shell
su
dd if=/storage/sdcard0/mmcblk0p21_KVT49L_0617_0132 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
Reboot phone once it completes. It will take awhile and not report anything during the process.
After phone boots, run "adb reboot recovery"
Wipe data / factory reset
Wipe cache
Reboot
Run software update
General Notes - Lolipop
Force Reboot: Pwr + Vol Up + Vol Dn + Back + Home + App Switcher buttons for ~10-30 seconds
Root: Use KingRoot from http://king-root.net/ -- I used the android APK successfully
SD cards bigger than 32Gb still do not work correctly on stock firmware
Known Working Customizations
To be determined
KitKat Notes
All previous notes for KitKat have been moved to a document in box. The notes can be found HERE (link)

Do you trust Kingo?
I'm THRILLED to hear you were able to root and freeze all the AT&T crapware. I can't wait to do the same. But how do you feel about Kingo? I'm almost leaning more to keeping the bloat, kind of the devil you know, you know?

If you're looking for root, look no further than Kingo. I can confirm the Windows version of Kingo is working on the AT&T varient of the DuraForce.

I've used it a few times over the last year and can only complain it does a sloppier job compared to SuperSU. Every pre-canned root wants to crap all over /system and none is better than the other so long as you get the su binary in a working state IMHO. I know Kingo is harder to clean up after than SuperSU / others but it's a hell of a lot easier to just use Kingo to root and cleanup after. Stacking root exploits and similar like Kingo is doing is a huge PITA and best left to those specializing in such things.

Fair enough, I was able to replace Kingo with SuperSU pretty easily:
Install SuperSU from Play Store
Run SuperSU and update su binary via "Normal" mode
Authorize SuperSU when Kingo prompts
Allow SuperSU to replace su binary
Freeze/Remove Kingo
Reboot and enjoy SuperSU
Optional: cleanup other Kingo remnants
Components to clean up?
Any chance you can steer me towards the "remnants" that need to be cleaned up and where to find them, just to make sure I get it all? I'm probably going to go though this exact process tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks for the information!

Unfortunately I don't have notes on what Kingo leaves around on /system... Some searching online or poking about /system should yield results.
New OTA Update
I just got notified of an available OTA update but I can't find a changelog or any info on it yet. I'll be sure to post it if I find it.

Please do. I haven't gotten any notifications yet and I'm kinda curious what the OTA will contain.

I managed to free up some time this weekend and I'm going to be pulling the OTA and seeing what I can do for re-packing it for those of us who are rooted and/or de-bloated.
Will post back with more info after I've had some time to poke at the OTA some.
Edit 1: Looks like this has patches for system and boot. /cache/delata looks like the directory where everything was downloaded. Hopefully binwalk and some other tools will yield useful information on what's contained within.
Edit 2: Looks like I was able to install the OTA despite being rooted. I'm waiting for 1st boot to verify root persisted and I'm also working on mirroring a number of partitions that can be used to "go back" to stock as well as images for updated partitions post-OTA.

I managed to get a stock boot and system partition uploaded today that you should be able to use to restore the de-bloated apps. The image is here
You can use a Linux machine (or other methods) to extract the APKs and put them back or use busybox + dd to restore the contents of the partition (you may need to re-root if writing the partition using dd). There are some good guys on XDA and elsewhere on how to restore a partition image on an Android device.
Edit: The posted file is for an ATT device
Good news everybody! The ATT OTA doesn't remove root and can be installed as-is provided you've not de-bloated the ROM or installed Xposed. If you've de-bloated (see below) you'll need to restore the missing bloatware and if you've installed Xposed, you'll need to uninstall it prior to applying the OTA.
In one of the early OP's there's a link to the "misc file mirror" that contains partition images for boot and system partitions. These are from an ATT device and can be used to restore back to a state that'll allow the OTA to apply.
Happy hacking and OTAing everyone.
