If/when you see the OTA update... - Thunderbolt General

Please check /cache and copy all files from it before rebooting to install.
That way, we can get a copy.
For more advanced users, please run a logcat during download process, so that we can try and get a URL to download it manually.
Thanks!

no prob I was just saying in another thread that i am new to the forums and a verizon wireless employee. I was just about to post a thread letting all the devs know that i have access to info a few days (sometimes...you guys are good) before the general public. I also have a thunderbolt that im not afraid to brick trying new things (giunea pig) because i can get it replaced being an employee.

I'm assuming that if you're rooted you shouldn't touch any updates until they've been modified by the devs?

Honestly I am noobish myself but from what I understand if you CAN get the update, it may unroot your device but you just have to do the last few steps of the rooting process over to gain root again. If you are using a custom ROM you may have to manually push the update to the phone.
Again this is not absolute but this is what I believe to be true. If I am mistaken please correct me. This is why I think the OP wants to be able to download it from a website...and also to tear it down for any new goodies

I have never been through a htc update but I'm pretty sure it puts s back on which would make you unable to regain root I believe.

There's been some talk that they'll force-push the update. Dunno the veracity of that. I'm thinking about returning to stock beforehand.

What can we do to stop the OTA?

If that's the case, there must be a way to block or prevent this. Would any devs care to add their valuable input?
Would switching to an AOSP make any difference?
The release date is 05/03/2011. That means, we have ample time to get a plan in place. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would hate to re-root their phone.
Is it possible for them to lock the bootloader with this OTA?

I would say switching to aosp would prevent it as it prevented the updating of the prl.
No. In motorola phones they are locked by hardware. If you were to install a new kernel it trips a component that basically bricks your phone and to disable the trip you would need to crack military grade encryption. We are okay.

According to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027706) in the development forum, CM7 is listed under "AOSP Based." As for senseless ROM's, I think it depends on the specific ROM in question, as some are and some aren't (but I could be wrong).

Are we waiting for the update that was just recently announced? The same one that's already in bamf? Or am I missing something?

I might have just saw the update. I saw something out of the corner of my eye in the notification bar but when I turned my head nothing. I then rebooted my phone and I saw something else out of the corner of my eye (I have really good peripheral vision). There is a small chance it was the clock changing times (yes my vision is that good). I will let everyone know if the phone feels faster and more updated to know for sure.

No it's not the same, it's not rooted or tampered with, and the installation method is different. If you want to completely unroot your phone go flash the stock ruu

No you will not loose those things. The first post describes how to get into bootloader after flashing the update. Only your system partition (rom) and kernel will be the official ruu images.
I just noticed there may be a problem with the name of the .zip. There is a gap in the name so you will probably have to rename it and delete the gap in order for the recovery to be able to flash it.
I will work on fixing it later on but for now renaming it won't hurt the update at all

This is also good for devs to get a chance to try the stock ota if they want to mess around with it. That was the main reason for this update. Hopefully someone will help to get the bootloader unlocked for people who buy a new evo shift . But luckily this update doesn't already have the locked bootloader in it

2.11.605.2 ruu

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...build-2-11-605-2-ruu-for-the-htc-thunderbolt/
Anyone deodexing and rooting this?
Nice find.
Hopefully its the released version of GB for the Tbolt and will work its way into a vartiety of ROMs, such as NonS3ns3.
Do you know what radios go with it?
Is it safe to flash this if I am rooted, running gingerbread with s-off? I know I would lose root. Thanks.
As it stands right now, if you are currently rooted then do not flash this ruu.
Wait until the devs gave time to build and test.
Once a Rom can be pulled from this build, we may get an opportunity to try it out ;-)

I'm pretty sure he didn't mean the other way around. Think about it... If you take the camera libs from 605.2 put them in a 605.0 ROM you have added all the changes from the new version without creating another virtually identical ROM.

Typically any Official update will break #SU access and sometimes cause a serious headache in the process.
If you are rooted, do not apply the update. Just wait for a kitchen baked variant to be released.

maybe fixes visual voicemail bug?
For about 6 weeks I've been having issues with the stock visual voicemail app force-closing every time I tried to use it. I tried going into the app's settings area and clearing its data, then re-enabling it in the caller app, all to no avail.
I just installed this update and it looks like my VVM is working again, so I'm hoping this was indeed a known issue and was fixed.
(FTR, I'm not sure that a factory reset before the update wouldn't have fixed the problem, but I didn't feel like re-installing all my apps so I let it go and just used the old-school voicemail number for a while.)
Is there anyway possible for me to get the update because i had s-off and then i wanted to unroot but i used gfree so i had to use gfree and ran into a crap load of problems leaving me right now with s-off and no root permissions . i need to get a new mytouch because this one randomly restarts and i cant send in one with s-off... can anyone help me out?

[Q] Cheescake and build.prop

Sup Guys!
Quick question. Would what I have my phone set as under build.prop (ro.build.device etc.) change what updates I could get from cheesecake? Currently my phone is set as a Galaxy S II. I'm wondering this because whenever I check cheesecake every server is usually down....
Good question. I didn't think of that before. Mine is set to look like a infuse. Same problem here
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I would highly recommend being on stock rooted (or stock deodexed ROM) to check on Cheesecake. Both of those do not mess with the build.prop file, so Motorola would still see your phone as if it were on the original firmware.

ive messed with the build.prop, and i do not believe its called by the update server.... seems to me its checking something else....maybe parts of the build.prop, but if it were only the build prop, you would not need an A2 to check for updates for an A2, you would just have to change your build.prop....
so i think the answer is ...... unfortunatly...... need to be on an att based rom to recieve an att based update.....
and most servers will be down 99% of the time, and only up for short snaps... y we all have to check constantly.....

Either way, I'm doing my fair share of checking.
It is not cheesecake that checks the build.prop, it is the andriod update checker that does it.
You MUST "appear" as stock to both the update check app that chesecake calls, and to the updater script when we really have an update. As said the fxz is the best start point, for a true real production OTA.

Did you make your edit in Linux with gedit? If so it does that.... If your phone is overwriting it, it is mostlikely and issue in your ROM. Check that you do not have anything in /system/etc/init.goldfish.rc or something similar, that could overwrite it, that or /system/etc/init.d
Those really are the only things that could do something like that... or cheesecake, but I highly doubt that.
This may be a stupid question, but has anyone flashed to or been on 2.3.5. with root and with [whatever] rom, installed Cheesecake, and tried getting updated to 2.3.6. through Cheesecake?

Yes, there were several people back in Nov. that found those leaks... No not now though.. All cheesecake does is it connects to all the MOTO pro,QA,DEV, and TEST, servers, to find updates that the devs put up their for internal QA/QC at each phase... that is why they are not up for very long.
That is why even if you were on 2.3.5 you would still find the 4.04 stuff... I know I saw a couple of ICS leaks last week (they were gone before I could get them downloaded fully) right after I fxz'd with 2.3.5... I am now back to 2.3.6 bone stock rooted, so that I can test something special I am attempting. Don't ask what just yet, but if you know anything about me, you know I have one real mission in here, and this is still working to that end, I have no clue yet if this will work though.

AT&T OTA Unsuccessful

I'm trying to update my HOX and for some reason it won't happen. My phone downloads the latest OTA (4.0.4?), the phone restarts, goes to the install screen, the progress bar gets a quarter of the way, then a phone with a red triangle pops up. I have no idea what's happening. The phone will eventually restart again, and a pop up will show up and say, "update unsuccessful, please try again later."
Can someone please shed some knowledge. I'm pretty sure this phone isn't rooted or anything. Android is pretty new to me, coming from iOS after 5 years.
It's helping you from making a mistake.
If you accept the ota, then it's lights out for you if you want to unlock or root. Search a little bit, there's a thread with a pre-rooted 2.20 update on here. I'd recommend that. Good luck!
PS: My phone did the same exact thing. I was rooted, which I undid temporarily using Voodoo Rootkeeper, and also I had uninstalled some system bloatware using Titanium Backup. That was enough to cause the ota to fail. Thankfully.

Not sure what the problem is but if your dead set on taking the update and losing the ability to root or unlock in the near future the ruu is availible in the dev section or you can download it direct from HTC dev. I would highly recommend you do a little more reading before taking the plunge

Thanks guys. I'll do a little more reading I guess. I'm not that concerned about rooting. Just want this phone updating and to figure why this is happening.

Hold your tongue before the angry mob of pitchfork-weilding purists descend on you for not wanting to root! LOL
If you're new, I guess it makes sense, but there is a lot you can do with root, pretty basic stuff, that you can't without it. Like fixing the linkify issue and unlock the tethering app, and the built in tools like flashlight and the FM tuner.
So let the ota fail all it wants while you do some homework. Then call the shot. Good luck.

The Android gods are trying to give you a second chance at rooting. Consider yourself lucky.
Titanium backup your apps+data, factory reset. Anyone else think of anything different?

If he doesn't want to root, he can read and be better informed. GG.

i would root the phone just to remove the bloatware, AT&T installs alot of it and some your can uninstall with titanium backup some youll want to freeze to make sure it doesnt F your system up. so much crap installed out of the box. Cleanrom is good, and i have used the prerooted 2.20 update as well both are good, im currently back to cleanrom, runs stable and i dont have to go crazy freezing and removing bloat

Rooting is growing on me. Pretty much like jailbreaking an iDevice?
Anyway, I upgraded my HOX using the computer RUU program from HTC's site. Can the phone still be rooted? I read something about a One-Click Root. Can someone point me in the right direction as I continue gathering knowledge
*edit*
Can the One X be downgraded back to previous firmwares? I'm on 2.20 now, from reading, it doesn't look like there's a root.

There is currently no root exploit for the 2.20 update and because there was also a new hboot in that update downgrades are not possible either

Ah, okay. Typical rookie mistake and upgrading. Guess, I'll be waiting for one then. With rooting are there any ETA's on when one will be out, or the developers keep it hush-hush like iOS guys?
I really do want to take this AT&T crap off my phone but I shall wait

No eta most of the work on any root exploit is usually done behind the scenes more because of the fact that some previous exploits were security holes so not revealing till it is verified as working prevents att or HTC to block or patch it.
