Update HTK55D

This just popped up on me does anybody know what this update is?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

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 .

Yep. Can be found here. We just need the build.prop from the update to paste in.

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?

sneaky update
yeah, just found it in the notification bar . tab downloaded it automatically,
now it wants me to "restart and install". i dont think so

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

Rogers System Update - (1.94.631.3)

I've been checking for updates on my one x almost everyday for a month now, and an update just went out.
It's a system update (1.94.631.3) 67Mb.
Still not sure what its updating.

Try it and let us know!

I'm currently on version 1.73.631.1.
I can download the update and run the installer.
It gets halfway through the update then shows a phone with an error icon on it.
phone resets and im still on the old version.

Are you unlocked/rooted? Or pure stock?

I think I'm going to wait a bit before installing this update...
for the record I'm on 1.73 still... not sure what's in this update

That's odd.. from other X & XL 4.0.4 releases they have used a 2.x.x.x release code and I'm surprised they would release another 4.0.3 version with 4.0.4 out.

I called HTC.
They couldnt tell me how to fix the error or what the update includes.
I was told to factory reset and try it again, which I did. The update still failed and I have to resetup my phone now...

Custom Recovery Screen
I downloaded the update successfully on my rooted One X (with stock ROM). When I hit install, it restarts the phone and goes into the custom recovery screen... I don't really know what to do from there though... anyone got any ideas?

Basically relock bootloader and flash original RUU.

Only Singapore has gotten 2.x aka 4.0.4.
All other regions were recently updated to things like 1.88(previous Singtel), 1.89(Telstra), 1.91(Telus), 1.92(o2 Germany) and now 1.94(Rogers). There is probably a 1.90 and 1.93 somewhere. Eg maybe 1.93 is the soon to be released AT&T and maybe Vodafone Germany is at 1.90?

Only thing I can think that might mess it up, is that my phone was rooted, but i've done a factory reset already.
So the only other thing I can think of is that the update fails because my phone shows "tampered" from rooting.

You need to install a ruu(the correct rogers one). That will remove tampered warning.

I just downloaded the update. It's def worth doing it. My phone was rooted as well but had no issues with update. Multitasking issue for me seems to be fixed, well a million times better than it was anyways (Seems i spoke too soon on the multitasking, its a bit better, but after a couple apps its back to normal) no more reloading every time you go back to something. Also I used to find it slow going into text messages etc, and the contact list was slow to update especially when scrolling through, totally eliminated now. So much faster and less bogged down feeling.

plugged in during update?
use htc sync?

I don't think that removes the tampered flag.
Sent from mobile

Installing a RUU does remove the tampered flag. so run the stock ruu, flash the update then unlock the bootloader again then push the custom recovery. flash a root for cmw then you will be rooted again. If you want a custom rom from it, then do a system dump after the upgrade.

OTA Link
Here's the link for the OTA download for anyone who wants to go through it: http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Evita_UL_Rogers_WWE_1.94.631.3-1.73.631.1_release_268994d5lde1latibkco05.zip
It contains hboot 8960_1.11.0000_20120607 and an updated radio, the version of which I'm not sure of.

Oh. Didn't actually try an ruu myself.

Where did you get that and how do I flash it?
I would also like to keep root if possible.

I assume people catch the link while the phone tries to download it.
You can't manually flash a fota. You need to apply all the patch files against the original firmware intended to be updated.
It's a long tedious process, only a smart dev will be able to pull it off.
It was done to get 4.0.4 but is it worth the effort for this? This is likely equal to all the other regions recent 4.0.3 updates.

Why are you guys so eager to flash this? I'm sure there are better custom roms. This will update your hboot so beware. If s-off is achieved you'll be **** out of luck.

Need a nandroid backup

Hey guys could someone upload me a nandroid backup for a stock Rom please or give me a ruu for the latest software
Thnx

I'm also looking for a backup, but I cant seem to find a FULL recovery for the version just before this latest 4.0.4 update.
Like an idiot, I accidentally hit "factory reset" in my touch recovery mod without thinking and it wiped my stock backup. So now I'm stuck with a stock ROM with root. Using temporary unroot (voodoo OTA RootKeeper) doesnt allow the OTA update to work either: I just end up in the recovery screen saying that it failed, and selecting the OTA update from the download folder fails too - no error code).
I see the full backup for the latest version, but there are lots of problems with people using the latest nandroid backup because it doesnt update the RUU or HBOOT or something - either way, the radios are messed up.
Sounds to me like my best solution is to get a fresh stock copy of what we had all summer, then let the OTA happen naturally.
...but... I cant seem to find it. Everything is either an OTA to get to the stock version of last month, or a current full nandroid backup to the latest update, but with the old radios (the stock 2.35.531.7 710rd thread is what I'm talking about - it messes up the WiFi doing it this way).
So... anyone know of a 1.84.531.2 710RD complete refresh backup??? Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you're still on the old hboot you can flash the 2.25 partitions someone posted in torxx trickdroid tmous thread to fix wifi.

There's few NANDROID's in my DropBox (check my signature) and RUU's as well.
Enjoy.

Thanks guys. I read through the Torxx thread and saw the wifi workaround side-post, but frankly it sounds like that'll be another situation where I wont be able to get OTA.
I installed TWRP and rooted around 2 months ago - so whatever was current around that time... (??!)
Anyhow, my main goal is to get back to OTA-compatibility and stay that way for this current update, and then the anticipated 4.1 JB update that might come in the next month or 2, then go back and see about rooting again.
I found a thread with a "stock" nandroid backup to the version I need, but the guy who posted it says that it's rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698861
Frankly, I dont see how that is any different from what I have right now (stock, rooted), and I cant OTA (I get the file but it errors on install). I think the only reason that this stock, but rooted, ROM above would work is that my previous deleting of the pre-installed junk apps is now preventing the OTA update from working, and this fresh install brings those back. Anyone know the answer on this?

If your looking for an RUU here's a whole bunch. Keep in mind you can only update with an RUU otherwise it won't run. Verify your H-Boot version first.

This is a bit off-topic, but I will ask anyway. If I have a rooted stock HTC one s (s3), when the OTA update to JB will be available iny country, I will get it but not be able to install it? I am interested in knowing when the OTA update is available so I can unroot, install it and then go back to a rooted device. Thanks a lot

bricked my phone
So I am pretty new to the community and have only rooted my phone for use of ARliberator. I recently took the MD3 OTA and the signal was crap, now I get the new update this am MF3 and it bricked my phone with the message "system software not authorized by vzw take to store" blah blah. I tried this using voodoo root keeper with out un-rooting first.
Guessing my only option is to flash back in odin mode or is there some recovery that I can try? I have everything backed up with titanium pro. how would I reload all of that after I flash?

How small ? The previous update that they pulled was just under 130mb as I recall. This one should be very close to the same size unless it's a firmware update only and the "premium suite" will come later.

ODIN back to stock OEM , then take all the updates before rooting again. Make a full backup in recovery before using Titanium Backup to restore. Restoring Apps + data with TB can cause issues.

So after trying about 5 times my phone booted back up and is working. The update did not go through but my phone is working as it was before. I dont know why the recovery wouldnt boot at first unless it was the update blocking it for a few minutes.
Might have made the rookie mistake since I didnt do the temp un-root with voodoo, but I was trying to be innovative and see if it worked with out it like it did with the MD3 OTA.
Thanks for everyones help on here, teaching a noob like me new tricks.

I tried just temp unrooting with voodokeeper, downloading and installing the update, and it worked and the phone loaded up phone and I was able to turn root back on with Voodkeeper no problem. I have two S3s, one is a mistake I made in getting a phone for a now ex that was supposed to pay their share of the bill, etc and didn't and I took the phone back. That's the one I experiment stuff with and tried it there with no problems. I'm afraid to do it without ODINing etc though on the phone I always use. The ex's phone never seems to have any problems with updates and re-rooting though.

Glad to hear that method worked for you. I just tried it again and I get to right after it shuts off and get past the Samsung screen with RECOVERY in the top left in blue, to the yellow triangle saying "you have unauthorized VZW software...turn off device and take to store..." with SECURE:KERNEL in red in the top left...i think thats what it says.
Guessing flash method is all that will work for me, owell.
Thanks again.

Go to odin flash valrec or whatever it is then flash clockwork mod...flash the superuserfix that's used to root and unlock the bootloader...
