[Q] Help Update failed??!!!

Hi,
I got the notification that a new update was available so clicked to install it and it rebooted then got the orange bar showing its progress. Now I just left the tablet for a couple of hours and have now just looked at it again and it had the screen asking me if I wanted to install the update?? So I clicked install and it said the update failed, so I was wondering if someone who has done the update could post their details in the About section so I can see if my wifi version, kernel version etc are the latest versions?
Thanks.

I've posted a few screens there in the first post of the build revisions. One pic is the original device with no update, the other two are updates 1 and 2 respectively. They are named as such so you'll see which is which.

That's odd. I just did the first update yet it matches the original screenshot you've posted. It says there's another update (the second I presume) but it's not downloading it. Weird.

Strange, I guess your tablet had a newer firmware to start off with then. When did you purchase yours? And was it in the UK you bought it? There have been 2 updates for me so far.

I'll reply in the other thread so as not to spam this one too much

From Asus developer
I'm sorry for this problem. Can you try to click Settings -> About -> Check System Update? If you are still not able to update successfully, we will provide you an SD update file later.

[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?
grtz

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.

[Q] Rogers i9020a w/ custom ROM and OTA just popped

So I run a Roger's i9020a with Bugless Beast rooted and CWM, and OTA just popped on it. Am I actually getting the OTA for a 9020a or is this just an updating artifact? Not that I actually plan on updating it yet, I plan on just waiting for a good custom rom to come out that doesn't involve me rerooting/cwming and installing radios.

From what I've read around here (not claiming to be an expert) that custom rom didn't disable official updates. You should let it download and post the resulting .zip here. A lot of people are waiting for the update for the i9020a. It won't be as great as a url (trustworthy), but someone might take the plunge.

And of course you'll do that before updating. The file goes away once you do...

Did you get it?!

Where's it uploaded?!?

There is another sollution.. install alogcat (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&hl=en) and reboot then say install later when it asks and open alogcat right away to grab url.
Edit: I got a bad feeling that rom was based off of a i9020t/i9023 stock but hey getting the url will prove otherwise

Grab the URL of what?

The ota url.. if its prompting ota the url is in system log thus alogcat. Thats how the urls are usually obtained.

Question about installing OTA

I was supposed to be part of the soak but for some reason my phone is invisible to the Moto update servers and they cannot push the update to me. I have the update file someone gave me a link to download. I have two questions about how to install it.
1. Since I am rooted can I just put it where Moto would have downloaded it to and then my phone will update it like it got the OTA?
or
2. If I install it off the SD card will it just do recovery first and then display injured android man, and then have to reselect the zip package again to finish instlling the update?
I would prefer method 1 if possible. If one of the devs or a knowledgeable person could respond I would appreciate it. I'll give Moto about six more hours to get this straightened out, otherwise I am tired of waiting to get my Atrix 2 onto ICS.

Hi. I don't suppose the end result would be different, whatever method you choose.

Where does moto put the zip file so I can try putting it where the OTA would have downloaded to? Then when I go to check for update it should say an update is ready for installing. Do they put it in the cache directory? Someone who knows please let me know. Thanks.

AFAICT this seems true, you I could run a leak#2/soak based ROM as a second system (first system too?) with boot menu manager by following the guides:

Yes, it is /cache... but I think you also need the .crc file of the same name along with the actual .zip - not positive though. And, it can take a little while for it to recognize it - but I have done it that way, by putting it in the cache folder - also, it will disappear if you reboot.
But, you do know what you are doing, right? There is no fxz yet...

Edit.. since it's the same files as leak#2.. for the .crc file, you could just make your own if you don't have it:
-Just create a new blank file with notepad++
-Add this as the first and only line (no blank lines after)
Code:
3114145323
-Then, save it as Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.crc

Yes, I know what I am doing. I used to develop roms for LG P999 but have not played around with my Atrix much. LG does their OTA updates very differently and downloads them in pieces all over the place so no way to use the method I am suggesting for the Atrix. I don't care about being able to fxz back as I just want the phone on official ICS; but I do appreciate your caveat. Thanks for the reply.
If anyone has the .crc file please upload somewhere so I can grab it. Thanks.

I know you know what you are doing.. just had to throw that in there..
Here's the .crc file from the last leak from 9/5/12... should be the same as the soak one: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/61960599/Leak_09.05.12/Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.crc

Thanks. I will give them a few hours to get to work and see if my phone is visible to the update servers now that I have done an FDR as they requested. If so, I will just let the OTA do its thing. If not I will manually update my phone.

Also I do not think you can be rooted to update the check will prevent you from updating, also you have to be as close as stock as you can..... Meaning all bloat must be unfroze.....
One more note there is a Q&A section now so try to post questions there.....

Could the fact that you're not in the US, are now unlocked and on another network have something with failure to get the OTA!?

You can be rooted. The update asserts only check for the original system files to make sure they have not been modified or deleted. It does not check for extra files like superuser.apk or busybox. Rooting is not a problem. I set superuser to OTA protect and it worked. After the update my ICS was still rooted without me having to root it.
For the person that wants the leak the OTA is leak # 2. It is exactly the same. Just find thread with download link for leak # 2 and you are good to go.

Would installing beats audio drivers using the app be considered tampering with system files? And would it prevent me from receiving a ota?

No, they wanted people like that to make sure it worked. Just had to do an FDR and then was good to go. Got the OTA and on ICS now.

Sorrry but what mean FDR? because I'm in that situation: Im not in US and I have the phone unlocked, and I'm using it with other operator... Is just ended the soak test?... because the phone say me "Your phone is updated, Is not required a update in this moment" (Translated from Spanish) when I look in Settings -> About the phone -> Update, and I'm have the system version 55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.

You have to be someone that was invited and filled out a survey about six weeks ago. If you are you need to go to the Motorola Private forum. Go see how others are requesting it (not allowed to really talk about it). FDR means Factory Data Reset and it is an option in Privacy in Settings. It erases all your user settings, app data and you are back to square one like when the phone came out of the box. For many people it was required to get what they wanted.
If you were not invited don't worry. Usually the official rollout of the OTA will come within a week of a soak test if no problems are found. It is the same as leak # 2 so just look on this forum and you can install that manually. The release is solid so I see no reason the OTA won't be going live to all AT&T Atrix 2 devices very soon.

OTA 23.3.24 - anyone have a link?

Hello... does anyone have a download link for the latest OTA 23.3.24 for the Maxx/Ultra? I can't find a link to save my life...

There is a link in the 'New update coming?" Thread towards the end. It did not work on my phone though.

Thank you!! Found it - that's what I was looking for. You can install it by booting into Stock Recovery and applying the update ... just locate where you downloaded it on your phone.
