Firmware Update 2.1-update1

Samsung just released the first firmware update today... i installed it but cant find any info online anywhere about what all it changed/fixed? anyone have more info on this?

There's a post in general about it coming soon. I haven't gotten it yet, anyway to extract it and host it? just in case they release it in phases. According to the other post, you can install it via OTA, Store, or home computer, so it should be available to the masses soon.

Always the same first question... Does it kill root?

Sorry about the double post. Got an fc and then didn't show.

I got the update a bit ago. Phone rebooted to install...there was an error but I didn't get to see what it was. Phone rebooted again and is going fine now. Titanium backup still shows root. I went to about phone and it shows 2.1_update 1. I read media hub was supposed to be enabled but mine still says check later...I'm wondering if my phone didn't actually update. I will see what others say about their updates.
Oh and my specs...one click rooted with andromeda kernel and adw launcher...pretty much stock other than that

Firmware version 2.1-update1 has been out for weeks. It was on my phone when I bought it at the beginning of the month.

This is what I thought too. I knew I saw the update 1 on my phone when I got it...Well anyway, an update was pushed to my phone this morning and it looks like the installation failed. I try to update firmware again, but nothing. I wonder if root is keeping it from installing. I haven't done anything else to the phone that would stop an update. Might have to side load the update when it comes out on the website.

Probably the custom kernel. I haven't even rooted yet, want to wait to see of this blocks root, but probably won't, at least not entirely. May reset root, but it should be rootable again. I thought the root method was a general 2.1 exploit, not really specific to the epic.

That's what I figured...I could flash back to stock I guess, but might be moot if the phone can't find the update again. It was pushed to me to begin with and now it's like it never happened...

I still have dg27 so it seems my update just failed. It's gotta be the custom kernel then. hmm...what to do, ha

Well, update: I was trying to use Odin to flash the stock kernel back on and I bricked the phone, haha. It wouldn't boot after trying to flash with Odin. IT was stuck on a screen with a picture of a phone, a computer and a caution sign in between. I looked around and it seems the only option is to flash back to stock. That worked like a charm in Odin...dunno who the stock kernel wouldnt flash...oh well. So now everything works again. Took like 5 min to flash and reboot, then another 20 to put it all back like I had it. ADW, Dropbox, and Appbrain are my friends, ha.
Anyway, with the stock kernel the update pushed again and installed fine. I have access to media hub now and whatever else was pushed with this update. It seems the update didn't like the kernel. But all is good now, I just have to root again. I think I'm gonna leave the stock kernel this time though.

Samsung's build number is always easy to read.
A, B, C, D, ... : month.
January, February, March, etc. G means July, therefore.
27 means July 27th: the date of kernel/firmware build.
So DI07 means September 07, which is fairly new.

http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/213524
Here is a Sprint Admin talking about it. It is an official release as of today. He has all the fixes listed too.

it is a 2.1 exploit through adb actually so this shouldnt be of any worries to us

Just got a pop up on my phone about the update. Accepted it and told it to apply. Phone rebooted, then showed an error when trying to apply the update. Hit the Home button and phone rebooted. No further notifications now about the update. Went in and manually checked and it tells me none are available. So,..I guess you only get one shot at the update and then you're skipped??

anyone that is rooted with stock kernel able to update and keep root?

wait what update? i checked for an update but there wasnt one.

Anyway to gain temproot for now?

Hey,
I was wondering, is there anyway to gain temproot until we have full root? Am I right in thinking that temproot allows programs requiring root access to work e.g. AdFree?
Thanks

There's an app called gingerbreak which works on the S E Arc (it roots anything on Gingerbread) so I wonder if it will work on the Sensation?

Is that saying you need to remove HTC Sync from the device, and then run Gingerbreak?

1. First download the Gingerbreak.apk file.
2. Save on your computers desktop.
3. Connect the phone to your computer. (do not connect using htc sync)
4. Mount SD card as flash drive as you generally do for USB cable file transfers.
5. Copy the downloaded Gingerbread apk file to SD card root.
6. You should have any File Manager (e.g., Astro File Manager) on your phone. If not, download from Market. These are generally free apps.
7. Disconnect your phone from computer and launch File Manager. You will find in the menu of the phone.
8. Follow the onscreen instructions on File Manager to install APK to your phone from SD card root. You may also use the default application installer software to do this.
9. After installation completes, open the APK.
10. Press ‘root’ button. Simple, isn’t it?
11. The APK exploit will run for some time. Usually it runs for around 10 minutes. Your phone will be rebooted. In case it takes more than ten minutes for auto reboot, please reboot it yourself. Not to panic, this happens a lot of times.
12. Your device is now rooted. Congrats!
13. Make sure that SuperUser app is installed and is running. This is very important for you to enjoy the benefits of rooting.
In order to test if your phone has been successfully rooted, just click a screenshot of your phone. That should show that your phone has been rooted.

Yeah, but does it REALLY work?

Gingerbreak exploit is patched on the SGS II so doubt that will work. Also if phone needs to reboot, no way will root persist due to signed locked bootloader. Go ahead and try but we will need some L33t devs to break this phone.

Yeah, I'm not really willing to believe it works either mate.
If the guide has some proof (i.e. a bootloader photo) then I will try it. If not, it's all just based on theory, but nothing practical.

Well, I have tried it, doesn't seem to do a thing so far.
It does say it fails a lot, but still, zero proof that is works, I'm very suspicious that it's all ********

It would be great if we could get this partial root. I personally don't mind not being able to flash custom ROM, but it is very important to me to be able to use some apps that require root permissions like adfree or titanium backup. From what I understand, this 'half-root' should not be very difficult to achieve cause it is not needed to mess with the bootloader for this purpose. The only requirement is to be able to uninstall htc sync for some time.
Here also a link detailing the differences between root levels and clarifying vocabulary. I am posting this cause it has been very useful for me to help understand, so it might also serves others..

Thank you for trying it. I think you should now do a full factory reset, to totally get that thing off your Sensation. It does not do what it's supposed to do and who knows what it might be doing behind the scenes. Yea, be very suspicious!

Yeah, doing a full reset was in the back of my mind. Think I will go do that now
I'm not optimistic thought. They who owns the website emailed me (I posted a comment doubting it, and it was deleted, so I reposted, and he emailed me), to say the guy who posted it hadn't got back to him, so he was removing it from the site until he had confirmation that it did work. I am still VERY sceptical of it. He said, uninstall HTC Sync from the PC, as that causes problems with root? VERY random thing IMHO.

Well, a factory reset and trying to run GingerBreak right after hasn't done a thing. It says to reboot after it doesn't succeed after 10 mins, and that this happens a lot. But EVERY attempt I have been rebooting after 10 mins.
If the guy who "discovered" it can't even post proof, it sounds like a load of ****.

This speaks to not only the lack of credibility of the person who posted it, but also to the site that allowed it to be posted and remain till the complaints came in. A very untrustworthy source is how I view them because of this.

Update Available but failed

Checked my infuse to see if update was available. To my surprise it was, started download, everything fine and then it says update failed. Now my phone is stuck trying to download update. Any suggestions?

Proof?......

Interesting, I just tried to update and it just stalled, never said up to date. It always completes and says up-to-date .. now I have to wait 24hrs to try again lol what BS!

He says proof but I just stated that my phone is stuck trying to download some update. BTW I never said it was gingerbread, since that's obviously what you thought I was referring to. The update said 8193kb and then after it downloaded that, it tried to update on a white screen and said failed. I have no reason to lie. I could care less, I just want my phone to stop force closing because that is what it has been doing for the last 30 minutes.

Most likely this was the pre-release package that was pushed some weeks ago. Sounds like the right size for it. The GB update should be about 100000kB or 100mB depending on how you wanna look at it.

Can you get into fastboot or sbf?

Ultimate unbrick.
when you ultimate unbrick you will always have a update available since you are running the previous version and a update was pushed.
so yeah ultimate unbrick then flash the community kernel if you would like giving you red CWM then just flash any other rom.

Update HTK55D

This just popped up on me does anybody know what this update is?

I just got the pop-up too, and have no idea! ? Going to check Motorola's web site to see if I can find out. Not sure it's worth it for me to unroot!
Anyone know if there is a way to root 3.2.1 yet???

Got the update too, am I correct in thinking I need to unroot to install it on US 3.2 ?

I too just got the update notification on my 3G Xoom running the latest Tiamat Rom. Imma just chill and wait for Team Tiamat's crew to have it rooted. It's not worth a root users time to be on stock. Us root users are power users, and that's something you can't get with pure stock no root.
Point of the post: If you are a root user such as myself, just chill and wait for the devs to do their thing. It's only going to take a day or two if you look at the previous track records.

Agreed. This is what I am doing. However, I must say that the OTA nag every thirty or so minutes is quite annoying, lol.

Its probably nothing. First off its 1.5MB lol. I can imagine it is nothing amazing that Tiamat ROM hasn't already done.
And agreed, the constant notification is extremely annoying. There is a thread in the development forum about disabling the popup I believe.

I got to get in on this as well I agree why would anyone want to unroot for an update that you can get in a rooted version or may already of been done.
But will agree the popup nag is annoying especially since I let my lil daughter play on my Xoom and now I got to stop her incase she presses the wrong thing.
Like everyone above me has said moral to that story just wait it will all be handled

I think the update enabled the use of the SD card . I noticed a " d " folder in my file manager .

sd card support was already there no change with 3.2.1
it is more likely security patch

Incoming noobness....
So, I have a Xoom on Tiamat 2.2.1 as well, and I just started getting this nag screen for the update.
Just curious, what happens if I update? Goes to stock and unrooted?
I assume if Tiamat comes out with an update, it should be an easy install through clockwork mod and I don't have to start from scratch again?

Because the bootloader is unlocked you'll just get an error if anything at all, so nothing to be worried about.
Too bad I don't have a locked bootloader xoom otherwise I'd do the update real fast just to pull the build.prop file since the build.prop file in the update zip is not actual text.

Apparently there's a way to just reroot but I keep trying to find directions and don't know what I'm supposed to do after I update to get it rooted again. Does anyone here know how to do it without wiping data all over again?

Let me try and understand this so you were rooted then ran OTA update to unroot? Just so you can root again?

You use solarnz Universal Root to reroot in the dev section.

would someone who has updated please share their build.prop?

Um...I did the OTA update and it still says I'm on 3.2 in the settings. I also seem to have root access still. Was it unsuccessful? Because I check for updates again and it says I'm up-to-date...What the heck?

can you verify that you do have root? run something that will call su, like droidwall

Yes, I can still overclock and it says that whatever program has been granted superuser permissions. I'm still on 3.2 and now the system update says that I'm up-to-date. I got an exclamation point halfway through the install, but everything's still working fine. What the heck should I do at this point? At least I'm not getting nagged to update anymore, but I wanted to be current. Any ideas?

No idea man, im trying to find out what will happen to my xoom "rooted only"
if i apply the ota. will it fail will i lose root, will it brick me. cant seem to find anyone who knows

[Q] New OTA? Or am I just way behind somehow?

I've a rooted G2X that's still running 2.2. Just over an hour ago I got a "T-Mobile Update Service." notification. Surprisingly there's no talk of a fresh OTA here so I'm not really sure what's going on. Not that an OTA would work for me since I'm rooted, but I guess it's going to keep bugging me until I do something about it.

2.3.3 was all the rage about a month or so ago.

Well, sure, but all news says that T-mobile stopped doing OTAs some time ago (started late July, stopped August 10). So why on earth is my phone just getting it now? I even do a manual check every so often and never got it. I didn't do anything special today that I can recall.

you should update it. you dont have nothing to lose. ifd your still rooted it will unroot but then you can flash nvflash recovery and go back to any rooted roms you want

T-Mobile removed the 2.3.3 update from their servers long ago. If you are getting something else it is new most likely. You can do an OTA if you are rooted as long as you have not modified any system files other than adding su and superuser.apk to get root..

Well, I let it update but of course it just booted into CWM instead of doing anything. I'm guessing I'd have to flash back to stock in order to apply any OTA. If someone tells me what to search for I can run logcat and see what it downloaded, but I didn't see anything obvious when I looked (and there's a lot of stuff in there).

I'm on froyo to and rooted but no clockwork mod recovery. I tried to check for an update and it said some kind of error i dont remember.

Check in the /cache directory for the zip file for tthe update. If you can, before you install it can you save a copy of the zip to a separate area on your sdcard and thn upload it to a file sharing site so others can download it? Once you install it, it gets deleted from the /cache directory but if you save it elsewhere those copies will be saved.

Yes, you need to be on stock recovery and your phone's system partition must be stock. LG stores some OTAs very differently than other vendors.
Do a backup of your phone first to preserve the OTA image. It might be in the cache but it might be elsewhere. If you wouldn't mind giving me a link to the system and cache images I can try to find the OTA and see what it is for.

I just got the 2.3.3 ota update about 2 weeks ago which i thought was real late also. I used to check for the update and i would always get an error too. i was rooted in stock froyo for tmobiles g2x (LG P999DW). I didnt have to re-root the phone and last night i just flashed clockworkmod recovery and flashed the 1.55ghz overclocking kernel on to the 2.3.3 that i got from the ota update.

Did you flash roms and then restore an old backup? That backup could have had the OTA on it and you did not notice it before. T-Mobile pulled the OTA months ago (was available less than two weeks). Doesn't seem likely it was pushed to you recently.
