Am I last G2X owner on Froyo???

I want to update GB and new baseband but since I heard so many horror stories about bricking the phone through official update, I still do not dare to try. Besides, I live in Europe and if I bricked the phone it's kinda problematic to return in to the States.
Am I last G2X owner on Froyo???

Nope, i am running stock froyo just rooted and modified to my liking withbout any bloat ware or the OTA software. I havent upgraded because my phone runs like a champ the way it is. Just the other day i was playing Metal Gear Solid with FPSE downloading a torrent with aDownloader while connected to wifi and playing Pandora. Granted i have a 3500mah battery which make this possible with out killing the battery.

Lol i just did the update today via OTA no way in hell am i going to touch the lg tool that bricked phone left and right. I new baseband offers a great deal of stability to signal and allows me to get nearly full bars anywhere i go. do the OTA update instead of the lg tool, much safer and a lot easier.

I'd just like to update my baseband and keep my current rom.

I'm with you. I'll wait.

I agreed with everything you guy said..I'm still using froyo but with the ultimate rom.

The phone as a whole is a lot quicker now than what it was with froyo imo even when rooted, which right now is the big downside as i can't seem to get this damn thing to root!
Also NVFLASH apparently roots the device now, so no need for superoneclick. I just put CM7 on it!

It's really up to you, but I'd say the ones with horror stories with the official update are in the minority. The entire process is straightforward, painless and lasts about 10mins. Plus the benefits from Gingerbread outweight the cons imho (like the crappier camera) Ofcourse, If you're completely satisfied with your Froyo installation then my best advice is to not try to fix what you precieve as not being broken.

You don't have to root it. Just go to the dev section and flash xboarder's pre-rooted stock since you have nv-flash already.

It would be nice to know what's the rate of the bricked phones vs. successful installation.

i was on froyo before yestarday
i just updated my g2x with lg upate tool, without any problems, but now i can't root it (cause there is no solution still..)
p.s i didn't knew anything about GB update.. made update and got 2.3.3
anyone know how can i root it?

I'm still rockin froyo on Fauxs kernel and ultimate rom lol
As for rooting I thought Superoneclick had GB break on it? If not then you need to do xboarders on top of stock GB to get root. Atleast that's as far as I read on the forums.

A search button? Never heard of that before...
To be honest, the method is in pretty much every ROM thread in the dev section.
On another note, my update went through perfectly fine. It did stop at 4% and then restart, then got hung up at 5% for a couple minutes, but I left it there and it got going again. If you want to give yourself the greatest chance of success, I would say reverting to stock 2.2 (I uses tgagunman's nandroid), reverting to stock recovery, and removing root before updating probably helps. It may not be necessary, but I haven't heard as many stories of it not working using that process.

I'm rocking stock ROM + debloated + Faux UV kernel with my own profiles.

do I need to b in america to get the ota, I am currently in dubai on a local sim. Also can somebody post a link to the lg updater tool.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

How do I get the OTA update?
I tried to check for updates in settings but it keeps telling me my software is current.
I dont have a PC so I can't use the LG update tool.
Any ideas?

In America...still don't have it.

[Q] I've Got an OTA waiting.... What could it be?

Im running Prime 2.1 but i have a notification that an update is available. I thought the OTA service was pulled from Prime ROM which makes me think its not ICS... but what if it is?
Any way to download without installing? If I install and it is ICS I would lose root and I can't live that way.
I noticed someone else from the UK also has an update notification.

I think there is a way to download it(gets stored locally) before its forced to restart. Dont quote me on this though.

its ICS, dont update

I hope it's ICS update :-D
Can't wait for it

BTW, I work in IT shop, Slider just got some minor update today for WW region so it is possible that they r pushing it to tf101 too. It's nothing major tho. If u running prime rom, i'd stick to it since the OTA update is completely bull****

just went back to stock to check for update, none here. going back to revolver.

You guys crack me up. More should post new threads saying there's an OTA update just to make people to go back to stock. I swear there are people in every thread that say "I went back to stock but nothing."
Too much work. I'll wait for ASUS to post it.

Backup, restore to a stock backup, nada, restore to first backup. Too easy.
I'm not rooted on here, but if it's like every other android device I had it takes all but 5 minutes... and if an ICS update means that much, might be worth the repeated 5 minute restores.
Just my 2 cents.

you are right but I assume it is not ICS. also, its funny u even got prompted althought ur on prime rom. btw, i dont know how you could download the update without further installing it. :\
also it is says "system file update detected" thats not comon imo. Usually it has to be downloaded 1st and notification shows up before that. seems like u already have the update on ur tablet.

Why not install ota updates? Anything wrong with ota updates?
Sorry but i'm a noob when out comes to Android.

I'm on SCv7 and I checked for updates and got this :

Kinda confused is it just the radio update ?? Because going by size doesnt look like whole ROM.Can anyone confirm what is this please.

i see the same thing...curious indeed...
perhaps Moto threw us a bone and because its a Dev leak its an incremental update to full OTA... HA

I suggest downloading and not installing (well, you probably won't be able to anyway unless you are on stock ICS) - but then go to /cache folder and copy the update to your sdcard and/or computer and open it to look inside...
I am curious about what this is also... definitely too small for the entire ICS package... which system version do you have?

downloading...
i did also notice there is a release notes URL in the notification, though it brings you to the crappy Motohelp browser page and i'm too busy munching on lunch to follow it through...
btw I too am on SCV7 w/ System version 67.21.123.MB865.ATT.en.US
EDIT: I have it downloaded and sitting on my HD if any dev wants to poke at it. Let me know if/how you want it uploaded.
EDIT2: Attached a listing of files so you can compare sizes and such if that helps.

@seeyoudouble thanks for downloading. I was about to start the download and up it.But can you it please and send to some dev
Thanks in advance.

I would take a look...
It seems like an update for the leak (or, to be more precise, for the Moto devs on that first leaked ics build) - it will probably update you to the non-downgradable leak#2 - NO ONE SHOULD INSTALL THIS YET!
Sent from my phone's mind

I also have the same message, did somebody tried to install this? By the way im using ATT MB865 ICS leak rooted.

It is not wise to install this yet. Let the devs have a good look at it first.
I too have the message. ICS LEAK #1 rooted.

i definitely do not plan on updating as I am quite content with my phone the way it is until CM10 achieves maximum sexiness...
i merely wanted to give those that care an opportunity to chew on it and see if there is anything worthwhile...

Everyone on the first leaked AT&T ICS build will be receiving this OTA update notice.
!!!DO NOT INSTALL IT!!!
...or you will be locked down even more and definitely not able to return to GB - ever.
More to come...

This has the mbloader_ns.bin again????? Been looking at this and temped to try , tempted but not sure yet.....

I've got the notification, too.
Non trap version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879475

Well, Moto is at it again..
All AT&T users on the first ICS leak build will receive a notification for an OTA update package. This new package will bring your device up to the current ICS build that Moto is planning on releasing officially to everyone very soon. This new mini-update package will replace your cdt.bin with the same one found in the second ICS leak, and lock you in a state of no return to GB. No FXZ will be able to help you...
Yes, there is a mbmloader_ns.bin included in this update, but again, it is useless to us at this point - it is only for Moto devs who are using NS bootloaders - but, it appears this update will install for anyone on the first leak, regardless of your bootloader status. So, you have been warned..
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE IF YOU LIKE BEING ABLE TO FXZ BACK TO GB

Well I really got nothing to loose and gave it a shot no go for me update failed..... Even used stock recovery to try and fail verify check?????? O well now i can roll back for OTA still!!!!!

Wait, were you on fresh and clean stock ICS when you tried to install? or have you modded it? BootMenu and/or Safestrap can also cause install failures...
You can check /cache/recovery/last_log to see why it failed..

Yea.. BootMenu will botch the installation. Also won't install if you have removed certain system apps (some seemingly just bloat).

OK, I am on the very first ics leak. I want to end up completely ics stock. This is my everyday phone and I have an old captivate for Roms and such.
Is there any reason not to install the 46 mb update? Yes I understand I will not be able to go back or mess with boot loaders etc. I have no desire to do so.
Alternatively, I would script back to GB and OTA back up to ICS.
Thanks,

I would not install it just in case Motorola decides to change something and you end up on this locked down version with no way forward or back.

Well... that's your choice completely. But, at this point we honestly have no idea if it can actually be installed by average users on the first leak (I say this because everyone who has tried has failed for one reason or another; also because inside is only an mbmloader_ns.bin, no "hs" like we have, but from the looks of the updater-script, it seems like everything else should install as long as it passes the patch checks for existing files).
We just started warning right away because, yes, this would, in theory, put you up to the version of ICS we found in the latest leak. Which, for all intents and purposes, seems to be pretty close to the real deal (it's been on the server for at least a week straight now).
Which leads me to a question for you: why not just wait for the full official ota then? Probably pretty soon from the looks of things..
But, yes, I believe you could install that update on a clean system of the first ICS leak.

'Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software updrade.' Really?
And why is the Google Now screenshot labled as Google Plus?
Furthermore, why do all the screenshots contain on screen soft keys? WTF Verizon!?
Obviously, Verizon has no clue about software and the Android OS. Makes me wonder why the updates take so long!

Broken help was actually a bug in my previous prep method for the leaks. I have fixed that on the last leak as of 12/10. Refer to the new K3 No-Wipe Fixed image in my thread.

Wonder if this would fix the home button going back to home screen when screen itself is off. That or if its already been fixed by a dev I'll take it.

IF, IF , IF this really happens..... I am rooted and unlocked, thats it. Will I still be able to get the OTA update? If no, what do I need to do to get the OTA when it is rolled out?

It will only show you OTA if you have the official build (last OTA version was VRALHE). If you flashed any of my earlier leaks you won't get the OTA and will have to flash VRBLK3 manually from my thread. Otherwise you will get the OTA and it will just remove root and relock your bootloader.
The ironic thing is that in order to reroot and unlock your bootloader after the OTA you have to reflash VRBLK3 manually from my guide anyways so if you're looking to keep root, custom recovery, or unlocked bootloader after the OTA, just don't bother with the OTA and follow the guide from my thread to get on the OTA early.

actually i think it will only show the ota if you have the stock recovery. if you flashed CWR or TWR then you will have to wait until one of the devs here root it for us. or odin back to stock and upgrade from there.

So those of us who have been on the K3 leak have been on the OTA? Or is there a chance they'll make additional changes to the OTA...?

There will b no changes they have decided after testing. . I hope... they don't get all jumpy and add things at the last minute that would b 6 months from now if they wanted anything changed.. unless it was critical.

Don't Install 5.1.1 YET!!! Understand it first

CAUTION with 5.1.1 Update​G925PVPU2B0F7​I've been spending some time reading T-mobiles issues with the update. This isn't a super new conversation, but is probably new to many Sprint users. The update appears have rollback protection, which effects both kernel and bootloader from what they are saying... Which I find slightly confusing since I didn't think that their was a locked bootloader on the US versions (maybe someone can assist with that)
Figured we could start the conversation early for Custom Root/Recovery/etc. users, so that we may save some of us some trouble with Soft/Hard brinks in the next week or so.​
This is the thread I've been looking at.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/general/psa-odin-5-1-1-t3136151
EDIT:
NO, the bootloader is not locked with the 5.1.1 update.
Rather, "Factory Reset Protection" (an Android thing - not a Samsung thing!) is now an option, which allows you to lock the bootloader yourself, protecting your device from someone installing a custom recovery, wiping your device and making it their own. It makes the device somewhat less valuable, and therefore (supposedly) less likely to be stolen.
The 5.1.1 upgrade looks to be a "permanent" upgrade, meaning we're not able to revert back to 5.0.2 kernels and recoveries.
So, I would suggest to sit tight with your current set up. In order to customize our devices we will need to wait for:
A) Root for 5.1.1
-Root has been achived: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...elopment/5-1-1-stock-of7-kernel-root-t3153396
B) Samsung to post the source code for the new kernel.
C) Custom Recovery
-Recovery has been achived:
Once we have the above, we can get back to modding our devices.
If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

Interesting article, I remember several other older Samsung devices where you could not downgrade bootloaders and modems. IE Galaxy S3, note 3, s5. But there was still root, Roms and the ability to flash kernels. Hopefully there's no need to go back anyway. The kernel thing is something new so I may hold off on upgrading. Thanks for the info

This is my first Samsung, so the whole root recovery process was almost too smooth since I've been on the HTC side for 5 years. Unlocking bootloaders, S-off and requesting tokens to push.. Ugh, as must as I likes HTC and Sense, that sucked.
I think I'm holding off as well, untill Sac23/ Ram9200 might have spare time to look over the update first and make sense of it all and could at least get it to where V.2 is right now. But it sounds like the Kernel could be our hold up, without Hybridmax's current support.

Yea but based off of my years of experience and having Samsung devices, I'm pretty sure that someone will find a way moving forward, but going back probably won't happen. I too had an HTC evo years back lol and I couldn't stand the root process. I feel your pain. But yea it may be wise just to wait for a while on the update
