Anyone that hasn't done cheesecake yet?

Hey guys. I'm just wondering if there's anyone here that's rooted but hasn't done Cheesecake yet, and you're willing to provide me with the contents of 2 files...
If you want to apply the new update coming soon, then you probably would want to undo all file edits made in order to do Project Cheesecake. So I'm probably going to include an edit/unedit feature for Cheesecake in the Megatool...
So, if you're rooted but haven't done Cheesecake, could you please provide me with the following 2 files (use a root browser like ES File Manager, or just use adb):
/system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur/defaults.xml
/system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.setup/defaults.xml
You can PM me the files or just post them here (you can just copy/paste their contents if you don't feel like uploading stuff).
Thanks.

I'll post them in a sec..
Here ya go!

If you guys want to keep root, DO NOT INSTALL the upcoming OTA. It is 2.3.6 and we have not found a way to root this one. yet. I am sure that once it comes out and lfaber06 and I can get a hold of it, then we might be able to come up with a way to use the updates to everyones advantage, and you wont lose root, if us give us time to work it all out.

I was worried about this, so I did the forever root thing and modified the mount_ext3.sh /system/bin/. I still have root after successfully updating today.
However, I'm assuming that there is no clear way to root AFTER the ota update (if unrooted previously), correct?

I was able to keep root with OTA Rootkeeper, though I got a PM from someone it didn't work for on the same update...
Good to hear the forever root actually worked.

I'm guessing one could use fastboot to restore the 2.3.5 system image from the fxz, then root and use clockworkmod to restore a rooted 2.3.6 system image...
(or just flash a rooted system image directly with fastboot?)

I was about to ask the same question.
No updates here...still @2.3.5

Motorola is rolling out the update to 1000 testers and we'll probably be receiving it in a couple weeks.

2.3.6 is still being tested officially though I think

I see zip archive with 2.3.6 patch by Motorola (today`s released patch). Bootstraper don`t flash there. What tool is needed?

Probably a tool that isn't made yet... just give the devs some time to tear through the update and work it out.

There is a soak test going on now. The update should be available to all in a few weeks.

If you use the forever root stuff then you will keep root with the 2.3.6 update. I still have root after doing 2.3.6

So far everything feels snappier in 2.3.6 and the camera is taking better quality photos. I've only had the update for about 4 hours but so far it is a noticable improvement over 2.3.5

Regarding the camera, is the auto focus working better now? If you don't mind, could you elaborate some more on this issue?
Thanks!

From what I can tell, the auto focus performs MUCH faster with this update. With 2.3.5 you had to wait forever to get it to focus. The end result is much better photos. I don't really know all the technical jargon as to why its better, I just know that the pictures look better with this update!

Getting nexus S tomorrow, 2 questions.

I am getting i9023 nexus S tomorrow. I want to know 2 things,
1. Is ICS OTA available now or is it still "halted" by google?
2. If it is still not available I would like to have official 2.3.6 atleast. Is it complicated to manually upgrade to 2.3.6? Can you explain me a bit?
And secondly will I still get official OTA for ICS if I manually upgrade to 2.3.6?? A friend recently got the same phone and it had 2.3.3 out of the box so I am thinking mine will be same as well.
Btw I know you can manually have official ICS as well but I'll like to wait for it till google resumes the updates.

first , i don't know
second , yes , no compilcation , just in "about phone" there is "updated" , all automatic.

Option 3) root your phone and put whatever in the hell rom you want. Change daily....

This is my first android phone, I will eventually root and all that tinkering but initially I want to have a simple experience.

option 3 the best one. at the time you finally root your phone you will regret not have done it before

1. ICS OTA is available. I don't think Google ever officially halted it and I think the news just said it was in a few specific areas temporarily. I got my ICS update about 2 days after the news said it was halted. I have a Nexus S i9020 though. I don't know if ICS is available to all Nexus S versions yet.
2. It is pretty simple to upgrade to 2.3.6 manually. What you do is you have to find the URL of the official update that Google pushes out. Then you download it into your phone, reset it holding some buttons, choose the file and click ok. More detailed instructions are here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280785
This link gives you instructions to go from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6. DO NOT use that file if you are on 2.3.3. You will need the 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 file. The instructions will be the same though.
Here is a compilation of all of the i9023 official updates. 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 is in there as well as 2.3.3 to 4.0.3.

Thank you the first link shows how to flash which seems quite simple and the second thread has all the download files.
Btw can you tell me something about regional updates. Are they dependent on what country I am "in" or which country the phone was purchased from?
And can any i9023 owner comment on the status of ICS OTA?

Updates are based on the country the phone was purchased from.

Flashing official ROM doesnt void warranty right?
And how exactly does the phone "know" which country it belongs to? I mean arent nexus ROMS all global?

it looks the combination of SIM card and IP address (if available)
mainly the SIM card, it's how it chooses the phone language at first boot
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Flashing the official ROM won't void warranty since it can be flashed via the stock bootloader. It is officially available for the i9023. Feel free to download the update from your ROM to 2.3.6, then 2.3.6 to ICS. If you experience issues in ICS, i'd recommend doing a data/factory reset and, if needed, flashing the OTA again. Just be sure to backup as much as possible (can't backup app data/settings/saves without root, sadly).
Also, you won't be able to downgrade back to 2.3.x after you've flashed ICS without rooting too.

First thing root your phone, and after make a passion about this, search in forum, read, and install what you like, what you think is great for you, be prepared, you have a lot of work afther rooting, belive me.
Good luck.

Just flash stock ics full rom.

If you are concerned with warranty, just flash the stock 4.0.3 from google. However if you want improve battery life, you can flash the leaked 4.0.4, though rooting is required, and may void your warranty.

Hi, I have a Nexus S I9023 too and i just bought it 2 weeks ago... also i am from india but that doesn't matter... now for your questions...
1. ICS is available officially from Google, it's just that some users were experiencing problems so yes they halted the OTA but still it is available through the manual update.. and for your info... Manual update is exactly just the same (100%) as an OTA. Google themselves say that...
2.I myself had 2.3.3 installed from factory and could not get the OTA update... but then i could do it to 2.3.6 with the help of this thread..
Go to this link... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635
and go to Full Roms and choose the 2.3.6 rom and flash it.. throught the instructions ton that thread..and to tell you again it is another official way to update and google also supports it...
and you will get the ICS OTA even after manually updating... it's just a normal update.. and for your info.. first i was also scared about updating but i just did it and it worked and for ICS i have ICS on my phone right now and i did it the same way as 2.3.6 just download the 4.0 file and do it the same way...
and for your info i am not getting any problems it is PERFECT THE BATTERY IS EVEN BETTER THAN GINGERBREAD.. AND FOR RECHECK I DID THE SAME ON MY UNCLE'S PHONE AND IT WORKED AWESOMEEE!!
AND IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS JUST PM ME..
HOPE I HELPED..
EDIT: NEXUS S UPDATES AREN'T REGIONAL IT'S JUST DEPENDANT ON THE MODEL.. also the warranty is perfectly safe...

I agree with option 3. But you will have read and test a lot (this is why we don't have iPhones!! ).
Once you root and flash...you will notice you won't stop doing it!! We have the best damn developers!!

@SAXXENA...................Ohhh Dude " FOR YOUR INFO" unlimited times.
He knows that what u said in total was actually for his Info only.
LOL.

Thanks everyone just got my nexus. It's 2.3.3 and really happy with the out of box experience, super smooth.
As expected no OTA, now I am confused if I should update to 2.3.6 or 4.0.3.
I guess since this is my first android phone it seems appropriate I use GB for a while and perhaps get ICS when google resumes the OTA.

I updated to 2.3.6, quite a quick and painless procedure.
Can someone tell me if I can delete the zip file from the sd card now??

Yes you can.

Phone Update...but not ICS

There is a minor update coming....sucks it isn't ICS, but they tend to push out these updates just before a major upgrade...so fingers crossed.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4182
Whether or not it is worth installing, though....and it does look like your phone has to be unrooted.

I've kept my phone on its stock ROM and unrooted, and it looks like my waiting finally paid off! Hoping you're right, and that this is a pre-req for the upcoming ICS release. Maybe this will coincide with the T-mo release of the Blaze Q (QWERTY version of the Blaze 4G)?
Also, has this update gone live yet? I'm using WiFi at the moment and so far I get a message saying there isn't an update available from the server

Can someone confirm if I have to be unrooted?

I put my sim into the blaze and nothing no update ota yet lol if anyone gets it before midnight hit me up on a PM
if not then tomorrow it goes live on mini kies and i'll just download it there

This is why I always flash recovery first and run a backup of stock prior to rooting. I will backup where I am now and check to see if there's anything to this update.
This also kind of confirms that ICS will be coming soon as stated... kinda exciting!

Just wanted to point out, this made it to tmonews:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/07/sams...pdate-prepares-device-for-ice-cream-sandwich/
"We saw something very similar for the Galaxy S II as a small maintenance update arrived a few weeks before Ice Cream Sandwich. We hope that same scenario plays out here as well. Stay tuned for Ice Cream Sandwich Blaze 4G owners."

Huh... How do I revert to Stock unrooted? Also, do I HAVE to update to install future custom ICS ROMs? I'd rather just wait until the source code is released ans I'll just install a Stock custom ROM. I need clarification. Because I don't feel like reverting to Touchwiz -_-

just because u said u don't like touchwiz made me answer this more
to return to unrooted stock you need to use the stock LB7 tar file and the blaze.pit file and Odin back to stock
I beliieve k0nane made a good guide for that on dev forum.
And you can always wait as soon as Kies updates tomorrow with LF4 i'll download and decrypt it and use it for base no my build 5 for dknight which is going to add some awesome stuff on top of the already awesome stuff

Update is live through Kies as of 9am cst. You lose CWM through the update and cannot be rooted.
So will the current CWM and rooting methods be ok to be used again? I hate bloat

How long did it take for the update to work via Kies?
I started the firmware download, and once the download finished Kies kind of.. froze. Didn't see any activity in task manager, phone didn't show anything besides the normal home screen. Disconnected the phone with no ill effects fortunately.
Probably because I'm running Windows 8 release preview.. will try on my other Windows 7 rig

update via kies to 4.0.4 if rooted happen?

do i need to return to stock unrooted to try update via kies or the update via kies if the tablet is rooted and in 4.0.3 happen and only i will lose root ? and will the update via kies if found will appear in it or i will have to return to stock unrooted for it to appear ? in other words do rooting affect update via kies to 4.0.4 in any way or i can update via kies safely and all that happens to me is to lose root ? i do not need ota update i only need kies update

I too am trying to upgrade my Tab 2 7" and my Tab 10.1 to ICS 4.0.4. Both tablets are rooted so I need to either un-root back to stock recovery or flash the new upgrade OS directly. Anyone able to help?

Unable to update with Recovery installed
I have CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery installed and I can't install updates.
Any solutions?

You can grab the new update in the respective tablet development forum and flash it through Odin. The Tab 2 7 has one I just saw that's stock/rooted, most likely the 10.1 has one, too. I had to go back to stock recovery to update. through Kies.

The only Tab2 7 and Tab 10.1 ROMs I can find are those by ROMWELL which are not truly stock and don't use stock recovery. If you have found something else I have not been able to find in my searching I would appreciate a link. Thanks.

Agreed, I would love a truly stock version of the LG5 or the new one that just came out.
This way when JB does come, I can simply flash this bad boy with Odin to stock and upgrade it to JB

I mean I figure I download all the parts, extract it, and flash the firmware part with Odin (correct? I am still getting used to all the software I use and how to use it, so excuse the stupidity )
What do I do with the kernel? Do I need the kernel file? If I am currently stock rooted on LG5, did the kernel change? For that matter when we get JB, if the kernel changes, what do I do?
Isn't the kernel the core to the device, if that is the wrong one, doesn't it brick in some way? Or am I over simplifying things? Or 100% wrong all together (sorry again for being a moron still learning all this stuff).

Yes, You could extract the archive and flash the (.md5) File via ODIN or Mobile ODIN Pro! (Which i prefer)
The STOCK kernel is included just in case you have a modded kernel, And want the STOCK kernel back!
Not sure about one, But i imagine if you where to flash the wrong file or even the wrong way you would get unwanted error's and possibly SOFT brick it or HARD brick it....

Ok good so I am learning something by being here!

Good to know I am well on my way to being smarter than the avg noob! Now that brings me to my next question, you mentioned Mobile Odin, I thought I read somewhere that if you use it, it doesn't increase the flash counter, first off, how the hell does it work? How do you make a device rewrite itself? How does it not trip the counter for that matter?
Good to know I don't need the kernel, since I was sitting here really confused on why you had included that. I haven't changed my kernel, and I never will touch that (unless a ROM like CM does that since I am thinking about flashing that if JB doesn't get here soon lol). So I just need the firmware part, and all will be good with Odin.
Since I backed up my device after rooting it, I have a rooted stock back up so thank you for giving us a clean stock as back up Do firmware upgrades ever leak from Sammy like on some of the others? Like Moto for example, they had ICS leaking left and right (thats what happens when you dont freeze them! ). Just curious what the odds were of that happening.
PS sorry to the OP for kind of hijacking this, I hope I am helping you at least with my question asking!

Good to know I am well on my way to being smarter than the avg noob! Now that brings me to my next question, you mentioned Mobile Odin, I thought I read somewhere that if you use it, it doesn't increase the flash counter, first off, how the hell does it work? How do you make a device rewrite itself? How does it not trip the counter for that matter?
Good to know I don't need the kernel, since I was sitting here really confused on why you had included that. I haven't changed my kernel, and I never will touch that (unless a ROM like CM does that since I am thinking about flashing that if JB doesn't get here soon lol). So I just need the firmware part, and all will be good with Odin.

I didn't need the details of it lol I don't expect everyone here to know everything about everything, just an overview, since to me it doesn't make sense. I am curious if I should be using that instead of PC odin as well, which is why I was hoping to get more information about how the 2 differ since from the description in the store, there is no difference lol and thats just not possible.
So things do leak? Since Moto had build leaks weeks in advance of the ICS release for the Razr for example (I have a Razr, hate the battery life as a side though, get a Maxx if anything). So I was wondering do they do Soak Tests on tablets with Sammy? How do you apply for one? How often is there a leak of a new build? Since if JB is coming soon, there should be leaks coming out for it shouldn't there?

Their is difference!, ODIN (PC Version) Requires you to install it (And some drives....I think) On your PC and run it and connect your device via USB to your PC and flash it....Mobile ODIN is an app (.apk) You install on your device and flash it directly from the app! LEAKS just come when the come!

I knew that much!

I may be a n00b to a lot of this stuff, but I knew that much of a difference lol I was kinda figuring there was more of a difference that I wasn't aware of to it. Like what the benefits were of using mobile over PC or etc lol.
I do thank you for explaining that much though

For starters, Mobile ODIN is easier to use (A simple app) and doesn't "Trip" The flash counter! The PC version does, And is not as easy as the mobile version for some users

Since I had read that about the flash counter, Modin is easier than the PC wersion? Hmmmm.... but you can't use it unless your rooted, so how would that work? Don't you have to trip the counter to be able to use it? Or did I trip it because I didn't know any better?
BTW we are horribly off topic on the thread, if you want to msg me, please do, I don't wanna turn this into a different thread than what it was. Even though I have already lol

[Q] US AT&T A2 soft bricked while OTA and another question

hello
well to make it short i bought the atrix 2 from the US early when it came out and then i came to Dubai and all the annoying bloatware for AT&T have became more annoying by (NOT WORKING) when i was leaving i called them and they gave me the unlock code so im using the phone in Dubai, UAE and its working great, im on Victory Rom (Best rom ever) clean and elegant.
---------
now i found there is official ICS firmware for UAE Retails and it has the same number as my phone MB865 so my question is: can i flash that firmware to my AT&T phone ? and incase that is not possible, if i want a clean ICS ROM (made from the official OTA update not the leak) where i can find it ? and lastly if all is not possible what is the cleanest quickest and best ROM and will it work if i update to OTA ICS ?
sorry for taking too long and Thanks in advance
----------
that was what i wrote earlier but now i tried to do OTA and the phone stuck on the dual core technology screen so im thinking to Fxz but i dont know if i should do it for GB 2.3.6 or ICS ?
thanks a lot

To be very honest with you and AFAIK no one had tried to fxz to ICS from GB.but in theory it should work.
But this is what I'll suggest fxz to 2.3.6 and try OTAing.it should take you to ICS directly.

Ok so get this very clear if you phone it's AT&T one(it has AT&T written on the bottom) then you can't flash any other firmware.your only option is the AT&T firmware( from here).
And there are lots of ROMs that you can try.
StockyEd is pure OTA version of ICS.
Others are Numa, swifty trix ,scv7.Also we have CM10.
