[OTA] 1.17.531.2 update extracted from device.

.... or maybe download link from google?

Hello all,
Wondering if someone could try this since I already upgraded won't work but when i got the update on my phone I was able to go to the cache folder and extract from fumo file the following zip that is on mediafire.
Called OTApkg.zip like the mt3g update file.
Should be the current update.
Anyone on the original firmware should be able to flash this from recovery and be up and running with new firmware
Let us know if it worked.
Just rename update.zip and put to root of memory card
boot with vol down and power.
down and select recover
vol up and power to get options
select update from update.zip and should run.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?jm90w7hr922bpd4

You didn't get a chance to test this at all? Can anyone test this and tell me if it works. Before even thinking about rooting I always like to have a set of file to recover with. G1, original mytouch, and slide i all have had way to undo before I rooted.

Didn't work for me. When I tried it I got an error that said
Code:
-- Invalid operation --
On a side note, when I reboot into recovery I get this
Code:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Anyone else? Is this correct?

Reviewing the code does look like the right file but may not be able to be flashed manually.
First line in update script is mount ( "MTD" , "system" , "/system" )
Looks like boots is a special "fota" mode that will allow modification and this update run like that won't initialize it.

I tried to flash it also. I also got the same "Invalid Operation."
I pushed it to /cache/ as OTApkg.zip and ran *#*#CHECKIN#*#* and still nothing at all.
Great. I have no idea what I'm going to do. Ever since I wrote my downgrade tutorial to downgrade from the OTA to Stock, I figured I would have gotten the OTA notifications again, but nope. Never received anything and it seems I can't use this.
This is a problem.

Very big problem! By chance, when you boot into recovery, do you see the same line as I have above?

Yes, I also saw the same thing when I booted into recovery on my G2(before I returned it), so that line is not a problem.

Yep, but we still have a problem with not being able to update to the OTA and perm-root.

Very true. In the Vibrant section, those guys were able to make update.zip's that were flashable through the stock recovery. Maybe someone can do that for us with this update. I have no dev experience at all but I am willing to test whatever comes up.

It was weird because when I looked at it
It was in the cache directory but not directly
in the cache directory was a file fumo which on browsing just looked like a file on the phone using sufbs.
But when I copied it to the device using the app that is when fumo turned into a folder and opened and saw that file.

I wonder if there is anyway T-Mobile can push the OTA to you?
The rep I talked to told me there were 2 updates. I would be happy to see one. She said once I made a call I should get the OTA update notice. That hasn't happened.

No, there isn't a way for T-Mo to push the OTA to you.
Did the rep say anything about the other update?

If you bought the phone full price instead of on contract be sure to check online and change the phone Tmobile has for you to a Mytouch 4g I think that could have something to do with it. I had mine listed as a Mytouch 3G still and I went and changed it and hope it'll make a difference.

Pretty sure that just changing the phone on my tmo wont change. Only thing that i can think of minus something being changed since i got it off the device vs a direct download if someone can get the link or call tmo to check on thier plans if past thier time frame they may be able to do something
Just hopefully someone could get the google link for it instead.

I called T-Mobile today about the OTA and they said that it did matter that my plan wasn't set a mytouch package. They told me the OTA should have gone out after my first phone call. Sounds like a bunch of bull**** to me, just figured I'd fill in anyone who was interested. They told me I should have it within 48 hours. *crosses fingers*
*edit* my friend works at T-mobile, she just received the phone herself and after your phone is set as a Mytouch4G, use *#*#checkin#*#* should help start the process, now were both waiting...

I've been waiting since Sunday. Hopefully has nothing to do with having debugging enabled.
Been leaving the phone connected most of the time running
Code:
adb logcat | findstr clients.google
to try and snag the link for the update.

downloaded "aLogcat" from market. it allows a log filter, any one know what i can place in filter so it does not catch entire logs of phone activity. Thanks.

I've been messing with this. It seems you can put in a filter (I put clients.google) but it doesn't matter if you set it to save to your card periodically it saves the entire logs... but you can open those on a pc later and search them or if you're a linux type you can cat file | grep "clients.google"

Rogers 2.2 update is available through Kies

Yep...Go get it.
EDIT: I mean Kies...The update box was in my way when I was typing lol

Just a min, update failed...I think cause launcher pro was the default home...trying again damn it.

Someone post a odin copy.
?

Let the BRICKING begin!

Would love an ODIN of this ROM... looking forward to it!

Installed Kies... Update process starts but Kies crashes. Anyone else have this issue? I'm currently trying to unroot to see if that makes a difference.
Edit: Exact issue is: MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate has stopped working.
Does it regardless if I choose to backup or not the contacts and data.
Edit 2: Unroot changes nothing.
Edit 3: Doing a factory reset on the device doesn't help either. WTF?

connected to Kies - message "This device will be supported soon"

Get it here

Wonder if it'll be 2.2.1...

Ok so I just got back from writing an exam and will try to reinstall Kies. I tried 2 times to update through my computer this morning and once on my wife's PC (She has a Captivate as well)
All 3 attempts it says that Its downloaded the update but then it fails when it tries to install. Now remember I've not rooted or anything, so i think that there might be a newer version of kies or something...going to look now.
But anyways it tries to update it says a bunch of stuff like: You phone Jsomething1 and the update is supposed to be Jsomething2...I dont get it.
Remember I dont hack or mod phones in the slightest, so I have no clue what this J1 (mine) and the update of j2 is...?
The update is big though, takes a few minutes to download and I have a 16mps download speed...

Downloading this version of Kies and will try again:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as

I'm with Rogers with an AT&T Captivate (Rooted and Cognition 2.3b6). Will I be able to update my device to it? I much prefer the Rogers software than AT&T's. I don't care if I have to use Odin or erase everything.

What ROM are you on ?
Did you put the phone in recovery mode when you have the first pop up menu ?

Did you put your phone in Recovery mode like the first pop up is asking ? (Unplug usb cable from phone (not the computer), power off the phone, Hold vol up/down button and plug usb cable. You should now be in download mode (black/yellow screen with a shovelling droid)

Stock ROM from Rogers
No, not recovery mode.
PC runs W7-32 for what it's worth.
In the meantime, I did some research on the error I mentioned above.
It appears it's a very common issue with KIES.
There are a few workarounds.
So far, I tried the "SIM-out" method and it doesn't work for me.
Next, I'm trying the regedit method.
Will report on results.
@silvertag: your upgrade worked fine or you haven't tried yet?

Nowhere you have to check Kies server to know it's been released. There is still no confirmation from Rogers last i checked.

Yes it worked fine you HAVE to put the phone in download mode before you start downloading the update or it will fail at the upgrade part.

Update Server Busy ?

Hey all,
I've just downgraded successfully to 9.4.5.30
And I've successfully rooted my ASUS.
However,
Now i want to push the 4.1 update but when I click on the 'System Firmware Update' tab it searches for a while then says
"Internet Connection Error or the server is busy. Please wait a moment then try again"
is there a way round this or something I'm doing wrong? I.e do I need to be logged into google etc?

Guess that's all we can do.

i didnt root/unlock my Infinity, so i am not sure.

Ahh, well upon waiting until the morning seems it clears this up.
Try again at a different time, may have just coincided with an ASUS server shut down or something.

[Q] Online CWM Builder no longer work ?!

Whenever I try to use Online CWM Builder I keep getting an error message like this:
HTML:
HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /job/recovery/lastBuild/console. Reason:
Not Found
Powered by Jetty://
So, is the site down or am I the only one getting this error ?
Is it region related ?
PS: Here's the link to the last successful submission I made (6-03-2015) builder.clockworkmod.com/done?build_id=a2...4
You can try to click on "View the current build output." and see if it works for you or not.

Can't you download snapchat from Play Store? If not, try to download it from apkpure. Good luck to you.
Btw, I wonder whether your device is able to get the latest update of system software.

That device is very old, you're not going to be able to use Snapchat on it.
