OTA Round 2! Someone please save the .zip file this time around - T-Mobile LG G2x

Looks like T-Mobile is doing the GB OTA again. Just wondering if anyone gets it, will you save it before you install it?

It's the same as before, nothing new to see here.

Yes but it would give a very easy way for anyone in the future to upgrade the baseband if we had the official zip file. Nobody saved it last time around so I'm just throwing it out there in case someone gets it and can save it.

You could ways flash froyo and wait patiently
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

It might not be that easy like on a Nexus One where they is a zip file in the cache directory. I had an LG Phoenix (Optimus One variant) that got an OTA update. There was no zip file in the cache directory. LG seems to create an FOTA directory somewhere and places various FOTA files around the system. I could not find the main file with the bulk of the OTA update. Also, when it rebooted to perform the update it went into a mode similar to Software Download mode where it performed an AP and CP update at a very low level. If this is the case whatever we can get from this OTA won't be of any help.

My thinking is that at the very least if there is an update.zip then anyone who still wants to upgrade their baseband could just install that and then reflash clockworkmod and restore to their favorite rom.

Yes, if there is an update.zip type file this would be true. But based on recent experience with another LG phone it wasn't that simple and I gave up looking for all the files. On the two Nexus Ones when I owned them, they simply had an update.zip (another name with build, checksum, etc in file name.zip) that could be put back on the phone and be flashed in regular recovery, provided that the phone had stock, unmodified firmware from one of the the previous two updates.

You cannot get the OTA with an unknown baseband as it reads the baseband to do the OTA. And since OTA means Over the Air if you have no signal you cannot get it OTA. Use the KDZ method (search the forums for it).

Need stock AT&T firmware

Looking for the stock AT&T update.zip file. I did search, but now luck. Thanks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
I just need the update.zip file. Thanks anyway.
No problem. That was the closest thing I could find. Best of luck with whatever you are doing.
Are you talking about the update.zip file to root your device? I have that.
No, the stock update.zip file. I am running stock and tried to run the restore and it said the file is missing. I was going to put it back on and try and run it again. I've been having trouble powering on. I can only power on if I have it plugged up.
AT&T is sending me a new phone, but I just wanted to try and restore it for giggles and also to make sure my data is gone.
??
there isnt a stock update.zip........
The phone says that update.zip cannot be found on the sd card when I try to restore. I'm running stock on it. It may be that its just fried. Once it boots up it seems to run ok. I just got the new one from AT&T and going to send the old one in in the morn. Just wanted to try one last fix because everything worked great the past few days, even the gps was working better. I guess I will see how the new one does.

i dont think anyone here has any idea what you are talking about.
the stock phone doesnt have an update.zip on it. reinstall packages in system recovery doesnt mean it reinstalls stuff you removed from the OS. it allows you to flash zip files created for things like clockwork mod recovery and rooting on the 2.1....

There is no update.zip for stock firmware. Reinstall package in recovery mode is for flashing ROM updates and other stuff. If you delete something from stock ROM or messed up, there is no way to get it back or restore other than flash the stock ROM via ODIN3 and load stock firmware file.

I think you're confused with the JH7 update.zip that DG releases. It is not a recovery package zip OP like to have. You have to install CWM in order to flash this zip file.
What the OP doesn't exist. For the Captivate there are two options unless a developer creates another one:
1)Odin One click to I897UCJF6
2)ZIP of th I897UCJH7 firmware

I would advise you use the ODIN 1 Click to resolve any issue your having. I made a video on how to do this in my video archive thread...

Android 3.1 Update on Wifi Only Xoom

I got an update on my WIFI ONLY Xoom today, the 3.1 update.
I hit accept and install and it restarted and just hung on the Android with the exclamation mark. I hard rebooted it and its back up on 3.0.1, and now says its up to date
:S
Any ideas? Im currently on Tiamat 1.4 , rooted
Sounds like the update failed. My guess is that it's because you're rooted and/or running a custom kernel/have made other changes to your Xoom.

There should be a file called e379f0b9bcd0.signed-tervigon-HMJ37-from-HWI69.e379f0b9.zip in your /cache/ directory. That is the 3.1 update.
Can someone actually pull the wifi zip?

I know that if you flash it with a modified kernel it will fail. I am in the process of seeing just how far back to stock you need to be in order to flash it.

I will also give you FTP access to my server if needed if you are willing to upload the file for us.
The file can remain there as a mirror. I have a insane amount of bandwidth.

use adb. The command is: adb pull /cache/e379f0b9bcd0.signed-tervigon-HMJ37-from-HWI69.e379f0b9.zip
That will pull the update to whatever directory on your computer you execute the command from.

I'm running CM7 on my phone. My 2 brothers running rooted stock 2.2 (I did it for them). Just wondering will OTA be pushed from T-mobile for rooted phone, or I have to update it manually? I asked my brother a couple time but he said didn't get any message from Tmobile yet.

I've got the same question for my G2X. I rooted it using Superoneclick and now wish to flash it with GB provided by LG.
Do I have to unroot it before I update it? If so, can I just use the "unroot" feature of superoneclick?
Do I have to get it back to factory defaults? If so, can I use the "unroot" feature of superoneclick and then use the restore feature in the phone and then update to GB? Or do I even have to "unroot" it before I use the restore to factory defaults in the phone?
I don't mind updating it manually using the LG Mobile Support Tool I just would like to know what to do next. I'm kind of excited about the improvements they've made in GB and would like to take advantage of it I just need to know how to go about it.
Here don't forget to hit the "thanks" button.

Yes, but you won't get the July 15, 2011 baseband which is the best part of the update.

i thought the primary reason ppl were going through the hassle of upgrading to the OTA was to get the new baseband... if that is not available, then what other benefit does it offer vs cm7?

That's surprising. I would've thought the official T-Mobile OTA would've contained the update to the baseband.

The regular OTA did contain the baseband but the zip files on this website were made from people's devices and don't contain the baseband. At this time the only way to get the baseband is to use the LG Updater.

So then it follows that at some point those who received the OTA, before they initiated the actual installation of the update, had an update.zip on their phone's memory that contained the updated baseband, right? I think what the OP is getting at is that it'd be great if someone would've thought to save a copy that zip folder before they actually installed it.

Yes, before installing the OTA update there would have been a zip file of the update on the sd card. I have asked before if anyone saved it BEFORE updating and nobody had it. I also IM'd some people and none of them saved it before installing the udpate. Once the update installs the file is immediately deleted. If there is someone that has this it would help with many issues. It could probably let people install the udpate using the stock recovery, and we would be able to easily extract the baseband and then figure out a way to let people flash the baseband only.
i haven't updated the baseband yet.. If you want, send me a PM and let me know what I need to do, and I'll save a copy... On cm7

[Q] Nexus S Software Upgrade

Hello I hope you guys can help me.
So I decided to get a Nexus S about 2 weeks ago, 1st one I had I upgraded straight to 4.0.3 ICS. Ran well except from poor available RAM and the dreaded back button issue. Finally had the handset replaced with a (seemingly) full working handset.
However I notice my android version is 2.3.1. To be honest I only want official upgrades to avoid any problems with warranty. So I check for software and apparently this is the latest version. I know this isn't true...
Please help me or offer some advice on what to do. I did search for this query but I couldn't find any recent posts regarding this.
Many thanks.
Google pulled the ics 4.0.3 update due some issues. But somewhere this month we will get the 4.0.5 ota, so dont worry
Sent from my Crespo using xda premium
Thank you for your prompt reply,
Even if I'm currently running on 2.3.1 will my phone automatically go straight to 4.0.5?
Thank you
hi there,
you have two options:
1. as per prev post, wait until you get 4.0.5 OTA sometime this month
2. or if you do not want to stay on 2.3.1, you can check this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445570
it has all official updates from 2.3.1 up until ICS 4.0.3
all you need to do, is download the incremental package you want,
boot into recovery (3e) and install zip from sdcard.
the choice is yours.
good luck

Yes, but you can at least update to 2.3.6 using the manual method. Just find which model of the Nexus S you have, and download the update file for your phone here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 and then just boot into recovery and browse to the update zip you downloaded.
Using the manual method is safe and doesn't require unlocking or rooting your phone.

Agree. 2.3.6 is better than 2.3.1. And its 100% safe to it the way he explained. The zip you will download is unrooted so you still will be fully stock

[Q] Repeatedly updating?

ok so im using Sensation XE since three weeks, its updated to ICS from day one. but the updates keep coming. every second day, i turn on wifi and it notifies me that an new update is ready to be downloaded. but nothing changes inside the About Phone info, as attached here. is anybody else getting so many updates? is it normal?
What rom u using? Maybe u shud ignore the updates if u feel its useless.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
im using the official HTC ICS rom
and just now i got another notification for available system update. each of these updates is 60.53 MB large, so im guessing its either the same update again and again :/

do you have custom recovery installed?
are you rooted?
check also in your sdcard/downloads i think if the update.zip exists there
if it is exists then delete it
my phone is not rooted, it doesnt have CWM recovery or anything like that. plus there's no update.zip in downloads folder either

so you are saying that you are completely stock
if yes then that's weird notifying all the time for update
also there should be somewhere located the update.zip because when i was in stock condition too i had OTA updates in my sdcard
try this
connect to the internet and search again for update
if it shows you that there is an update available just download it but not install it
disconnect from internet and then perform the update
see how it goes after that
