3.2 stock up on Asus ftp

I saw this somewhere else, can't remember where. But it's apparently up on the Asus ftp site now, towards the bottom:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/EeePAD/TF101/
MEGA slow download though. I've had two interrupted downloads now, am on my third. Hopefully this one will work.

Stop using Android's Browser's downloader/IE
Only the kernel source matters anyway.

I'm downloading it via Chrome on my desktop.

Not quite. Asus' latest firmware/blob is useful for creating boot, recovery, and system image files that are used with nvflash, in case unbricking of one's tf101 is the only way out of the woods.

You take the OTA update and can turn it into something you can flash via nvflash. You should prolly learn what you're talking about before rolling your eyes/giving a sarcastic response.

Thanks for the info... I've been looking for this file for sometime.
Regards.

Thanks for the link. The ftp site is bloody useless, so slow.

[Q] Rogers i9020a w/ custom ROM and OTA just popped

So I run a Roger's i9020a with Bugless Beast rooted and CWM, and OTA just popped on it. Am I actually getting the OTA for a 9020a or is this just an updating artifact? Not that I actually plan on updating it yet, I plan on just waiting for a good custom rom to come out that doesn't involve me rerooting/cwming and installing radios.

From what I've read around here (not claiming to be an expert) that custom rom didn't disable official updates. You should let it download and post the resulting .zip here. A lot of people are waiting for the update for the i9020a. It won't be as great as a url (trustworthy), but someone might take the plunge.

Ahh right, I'll get the zip uploaded somewhere asap.

And of course you'll do that before updating. The file goes away once you do...

Did you get it?!

Where's it uploaded?!?

There is another sollution.. install alogcat (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&hl=en) and reboot then say install later when it asks and open alogcat right away to grab url.
Edit: I got a bad feeling that rom was based off of a i9020t/i9023 stock but hey getting the url will prove otherwise

Grab the URL of what?

The ota url.. if its prompting ota the url is in system log thus alogcat. Thats how the urls are usually obtained.

Question about installing OTA

I was supposed to be part of the soak but for some reason my phone is invisible to the Moto update servers and they cannot push the update to me. I have the update file someone gave me a link to download. I have two questions about how to install it.
1. Since I am rooted can I just put it where Moto would have downloaded it to and then my phone will update it like it got the OTA?
or
2. If I install it off the SD card will it just do recovery first and then display injured android man, and then have to reselect the zip package again to finish instlling the update?
I would prefer method 1 if possible. If one of the devs or a knowledgeable person could respond I would appreciate it. I'll give Moto about six more hours to get this straightened out, otherwise I am tired of waiting to get my Atrix 2 onto ICS.

Hi. I don't suppose the end result would be different, whatever method you choose.

Where does moto put the zip file so I can try putting it where the OTA would have downloaded to? Then when I go to check for update it should say an update is ready for installing. Do they put it in the cache directory? Someone who knows please let me know. Thanks.

AFAICT this seems true, you I could run a leak#2/soak based ROM as a second system (first system too?) with boot menu manager by following the guides:

Yes, it is /cache... but I think you also need the .crc file of the same name along with the actual .zip - not positive though. And, it can take a little while for it to recognize it - but I have done it that way, by putting it in the cache folder - also, it will disappear if you reboot.
But, you do know what you are doing, right? There is no fxz yet...

Edit.. since it's the same files as leak#2.. for the .crc file, you could just make your own if you don't have it:
-Just create a new blank file with notepad++
-Add this as the first and only line (no blank lines after)
Code:
3114145323
-Then, save it as Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.crc

Yes, I know what I am doing. I used to develop roms for LG P999 but have not played around with my Atrix much. LG does their OTA updates very differently and downloads them in pieces all over the place so no way to use the method I am suggesting for the Atrix. I don't care about being able to fxz back as I just want the phone on official ICS; but I do appreciate your caveat. Thanks for the reply.
If anyone has the .crc file please upload somewhere so I can grab it. Thanks.

Here's the .crc file from the last leak from 9/5/12... should be the same as the soak one: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/61960599/Leak_09.05.12/Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.crc

Thanks. I will give them a few hours to get to work and see if my phone is visible to the update servers now that I have done an FDR as they requested. If so, I will just let the OTA do its thing. If not I will manually update my phone.

Also I do not think you can be rooted to update the check will prevent you from updating, also you have to be as close as stock as you can..... Meaning all bloat must be unfroze.....
One more note there is a Q&A section now so try to post questions there.....

Could the fact that you're not in the US, are now unlocked and on another network have something with failure to get the OTA!?

You can be rooted. The update asserts only check for the original system files to make sure they have not been modified or deleted. It does not check for extra files like superuser.apk or busybox. Rooting is not a problem. I set superuser to OTA protect and it worked. After the update my ICS was still rooted without me having to root it.
For the person that wants the leak the OTA is leak # 2. It is exactly the same. Just find thread with download link for leak # 2 and you are good to go.

Would installing beats audio drivers using the app be considered tampering with system files? And would it prevent me from receiving a ota?

No, they wanted people like that to make sure it worked. Just had to do an FDR and then was good to go. Got the OTA and on ICS now.

Sorrry but what mean FDR? because I'm in that situation: Im not in US and I have the phone unlocked, and I'm using it with other operator... Is just ended the soak test?... because the phone say me "Your phone is updated, Is not required a update in this moment" (Translated from Spanish) when I look in Settings -> About the phone -> Update, and I'm have the system version 55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.

You have to be someone that was invited and filled out a survey about six weeks ago. If you are you need to go to the Motorola Private forum. Go see how others are requesting it (not allowed to really talk about it). FDR means Factory Data Reset and it is an option in Privacy in Settings. It erases all your user settings, app data and you are back to square one like when the phone came out of the box. For many people it was required to get what they wanted.
If you were not invited don't worry. Usually the official rollout of the OTA will come within a week of a soak test if no problems are found. It is the same as leak # 2 so just look on this forum and you can install that manually. The release is solid so I see no reason the OTA won't be going live to all AT&T Atrix 2 devices very soon.

Huawei ascend P2 stock firmware available

Hello!
How can I to install it, please?

All you have to do is extract the zip file. You'll find a folder named dload and copy that to your P2's sdcard root. After this step shut down the phone, then press volume up+ down + power and you will be in download mode. The phone should do the rest. If it doesn't work reply back since I only tried this method on the Huawei g312

Assuming you know how to extract, modify and add superuser and su, and repack the dload/UPDATE.APP within the firmware, here's the rootable firmware:http://db.tt/fX8aodzU
Apparently Dropbox temporarily froze my account's public links because people are downloading a lot from it. It gets unlocked the next day so if you get lucky you get lucky.
[UPDATE] File no longer available because I need my public links to share files with friends and schoolmates. They kept getting temporary disabled while I was hosting these firmware files because of too many downloads per day.

It hasn't been rooted. It's just that I know someone who extracted the the system.img within the firmware to put superuser and the su binaries in then he repacked it and installed it back in his phone successfully.
