Android update

Does anyone have the leaked update file so I can download without having a data connection on my cell phone? I had to get the leaked update for my Asus but now they have the official on their site. Hoping someone has the att update file so I can do the same.

Here it is as it showed up in my /sdcard/Download/ directory, but I don't know how you can force it to update without going through the actual OTA process.

No. It is an edify type update that contains a PD98IMG type update inside (called firmware.zip).
Even though it is an edify type update, it won't install from recovery unless you hack out some of the ASSERT checks (since recovery doesn't have all the getprop values that a running system has).
Would it be possible to pull the information from the update part, and convert it to a hbkot update.
Just curious, if we were able to, id post it in the guide for easy reference.

How do you put the Inspire 4G into recovery mode? My Asus I can hold down the volume down key and power button to get a specific menu my Inspire doesn't.

You're doing it wrong somehow then because that is exactly how you do it on the Inspire. Make sure fastboot is off in the settings though (Settings->power->fast boot).

Not really. This update contains a number of "patch" files that use a method of updating files in-place by applying a patch that just replaces the parts of the file that changed. It's like a diff file is for text files, but it's binary. The only way I know of to apply these is through edify commands (or manually patching them on a PC first with bsdiff, see: http://linux.die.net/man/1/bsdiff).

What is the command in terminal emulator to check firmware version

Please could someone tell me the command prompt for terminal emulator to check your firmware ? To see what firmware a device is running ? Thank you in advance!

Try the command getprop it will display a lot of info about your device, look for a line called ro.build.display.id, should show your ROM name.

Wow, I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere (I am an accursed Newb)...
ro.build.display.id is ROM NAME?
Here's mine: [ro.build.display.id]: [nuclear_708h9-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D 20120808 test-keys]
This is also the "build number" I can get from settings>about tablet.
The entire thing is the ROM name?
Is this where I learn the name of the ROM & the name of the firmware flashed on it are 2 different things?
Is there a command that will display the name & version of firmware factory-flashed or currently flashed to the ROM?
This is an Allwinner (A13) 2G tablet (ICS 4.0.4). I got it as a gift without the packaging. I've sent email inquiries to AllWinner & AllWinnerTech - maybe I'll get lucky. Meanwhile I'm just stuck on the belief that there must be a way to make this device "tell on itself" - I merely need to find out what it is.

CyanogenMod question?

I cant seem to find a guide on how you do this, can someone link me or explain thanks.
So do i do all this after i've flashed CyanogenMod?
Build Instructions Setup a standard CyanogenMod 9 build environment (there are plenty of tutorials on the web already on how to do this). Then
1. Add add the following entries to your local manifest
Code:
where you replace XXX with your device (i815, p6200, p6210, p6800, p6810, or t869). 2. Make sure that your device is running the newest build of CyanogenMod 9 or stock ICS if your device has it. 3. Make sure your device is plugged in and has debugging enabled. 4. Run the extract-files script from your particular device tree. 5. Run vendor/cm/get-prebuilts 6. Your sources are now ready, to build run
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh # this sets up the build environment $ lunch cm_XXX-userdebug # this selects your device $ mka bacon # this builds CM

Don't need to do any of it. Those are instructions for building the Rom. Just flash wipe with ioceras cwm and enjoy.

[Q] Rezound Beats on Embryo 5.3?

Ok, so I was looking through the Rezound Beats post in the development section, and I am super confused. I saw the original post and wanted to download it but then I read about in call volume problems so I scrolled through and found a bunch of differnt versions and build.prop edits. I recently got this phone and so do not know much about this stuff and really do not want to brick my phone.
My question lol: Which file from the Rezound Beats post can I flash on my rooted Galaxy S2 LTE with Rogers running Embryo ICS 5.3?
Thanks a lot in advance!

OK so is the build.prop tweak the lines it said to add in the OP or is it something you flash afterwards?

you can make the BP tweak using a file manager with mount as writable option i Use ROM toolboxPro cuz its eazier for me Just copy and paste and then save..
There is already an exising line that ends with the word "endfire" this is where the tweak must be done
Is the build.prop edit necessary? If it I do I just copy paste it at the end of the current build.prop or does it replace something in the current build.prop?
Also do I use the build.prop edit in the OP?

you have to change the lines in the build prop delete the lines
"persist.audio.fluence.mode=endfire"
"persist.audio.vr.enable=false"
and then add the new build prop Line by line making sure nothing is combined.

IMEI # or S/N

Hi! Where on the phone can I find the IMEI # or the S/N to compare it to the numbers on the box the phone came in? I thought it was in About Phone but I am not seeing it... Thanks for your time!
