[Tip] [Capture OTA link /URL] without PC Works with Rooted and non rooted devices - Android General

Yo Guys here is the detailed guide about how to capture an android OTA link/URL(when new Android update out) without a PC.
Yeah, since I don't have PC I thought i was no longer able to root my phone or playing with xposed or flashing stuffs like custom Roms, Recovery, custom kernel etc... But I got rooted my phone, flashed custom Rom,installed xposed and even unlocked my device. Thanks to King root and it's Dev for awesome app!
Yeah, now let's get into matter since I'm using "Google Android one", Google assured to give 2 years of Android update to our phones directly whenever the New versions of Android releases.
Google Nexus, Google Android one and GPE phones are directly handled by Google in the terms of software updates. And even Flagship phones maker like Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony, and many other companies Pushes OTA updates whenever the New version of Android releases!
Since Google OTA's are followed by random process few will get update very early and others will get the OTA later. So, in order to get rid off if one who got OTA Notifications then it's simple to get OTA Link by taking logcat.
Once link distributed with community members,friends and others who using same phone, then they can access that link and download OTA zip and they can flash that new update zip using stock recovery and can boot newly released Android OS!
Now the question is how to take logcat without PC and capture link (OTA link) and share the that link with members! (I'm explaining without PC method so don't ask me for PC method)
REQUIREMENTS:=>>>
1. Rooted android device
2. OTA update on your phone
3. Terminal emulator
4. A brain
5. A file xplorer (Solid & Es file xplorer recommended)
HOW TO CAPTURE OTA LINK:=>>>
1. open terminal emulator type "su" and hit enter
2. Then terminal asks for Super user permission(I, e; Root) "choose grant"
3. After that type this
logcat > /sdcard/ota.txt and hit enter.
4. Now go back to system update window and tap on download system update.
5. Next wait few seconds 10-15secs and close terminal emulator window.
6. Now open a file xplorer like solid or ES file xplorers
7. You can see a file named OTA.txt
8. Now open that ota.txt file using file xporer (use solid xplore)
9. Search for the word starts with "http//:Googleapis/ota" like that
10. You'll get the link, copy that and share with friends and members and enjoy

That is DDMS
You don't have to root your device.
1.) Install SDK (To your computer) and setup ADB (Find some guides..)
2.) Go to settings>Applications>>Development>>Select USB debugging
3.) Open CMD on your computer & type "ddms" w/o quotes
4.) Give it a second and a new window will open
5.) Select your device
6.) Then in there select device at the top, then screen capture.

I believe he meant that he is unrooted and tried the screencapture apps that require root.
@Sax1981 Those apps are using a method of taking a screen capture that requires root, there would have to be a new app, designed for the new kernel that could take stock screencaps.

[App]Android Market 3.2.0

So, just another Leak from the Nexus Prime aka Galaxy Nexus that means it is also from Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)
The Android market got updated to version 3.2.0. You can download the apk from the attachment below.
For those who use AOSP Roms like CyanogenMod 7.1 or MIUI, try flashing the new google apps, if this didn't work out well for you.

}
Noticeable Changes:
* New UI For Phones & Tablets
* Faster / Fixed Download bug
Procedure to install via CWM Recovery
According to popular requests, I made a flashable version of the new Market 3.2.0. This will solve all the installation issues.
1. Download the Flashable zip file here.
2. Do a Nandroid Backup.
3. Reboot into Recovery & Flash the zip.
4. Now reboot & enjoy.......
Procedure to install via Root Explorer Method
1. Download the apk file from the attachment to your sd card.
2. Now using Root explorer, go to /system/app
3. Mount the system to r/w.
4. Now search for Vending.apk & rename it to Vending.apk1
5. Copy the file you just downloded to /system/app
6. Now press & hold the app and select Permissions
7. Select only the options given below. Now REBOOT & enjoy.....
The original file you see in /system/app is Vending.apk it has to be renamed. Don't mix it up with the attachment below, since the name is same for both.

delayed enough for me to read it...thank you very much and well appreciated!
Really thanks for bring us the newest version of the Android Market. I hope that version be more efective and faster.
How is this improved from Ver 3.1.5? Any changelog?
Installed, but my Market looks exactly the same as before, and nothing like the SS on the first post ):
Says 3.2.0 but don't see anything different.
Not for nothing but the instructions posted didn't work for me. I renamed it to Vending.Apk set permissions as above.also had to change owner to 0-Root under both spots in owneri.then I tapped it hit install.over wrote old no need to reboot
has this market fixed the issue with people who change their screen density?
Force closes no matter what method I try. Set permissions, rebooted, and everything.
HTC Aria, Sense Froyo.
I had that issue. I cleared data/cache of market and still no go. Then I just clicked the phonessky apk and just installed it. Seemed to fix everything
Works. But it's still kind of sticky though.
Just installed like normal apk. Works great Thanks.

That didn't work on my galaxy sII.
Installed via instructions and works fine.
I'm new to android, does sideloading the apk like this take me 'out of the loop' of normal over-the-air updates that the market would have gotten otherwise?
slow?
hi,
is this market slow like 3.1.5 or is the speed bug corrected?
thx

Since there is a lot of confusion in HP's models .... Check if you own this exact model See attachments
http://www.gsmarena.com/hp_7_voicetab-6784.php

3. This guide is not the only way to root the device. But it's the only one till date and the easiest.
4. I have tried and have successfully rooted the device .
5. I am not to blame if you screw up and kill your device.
Please read up on pros , con's and risks of rooting before doing this.
Steps
1. Enable USB debugging . (If u don't know what this is then u probably shouldn't be doing this )
2. Download the attachment.(Note that I am not the developer of this app)
3. Install the apk.
4. Google will warn you of the risks (Read it) and proceed .
5. Open the app and press on the Green Button . (See attachment 2)
6. Wait till u get a Green Tick . (See attachment 1)
Done
You should now have a new app called Kinguser which basically acts as a Superuser .
Proof :
If u want sdcard write permissions install KitKat sdfix from Play Store.
Thanks to KingRoot team for providing the apk .

K3 Non note question. (K30w)

By mistake I ordered a K3, not the note version.
From what I came to know is that this device is intended for the Asian market only.
The phone has really bad software, and after a bit of searching on this forum and Google I have yet to find an answer to the following questions:
Is it possible to install another rom on this phone?
Are there any out there?
Is it the same phone as the A6000 (or does it accept the same roms)?
I have rooted/installed firware on phones before.
I am sorry if I overlooked any relevant information.
Nobody?
I managed to get a custom rom working, i'll make a post in this topic to help others out.

On your current (stock) rom:
- Download all the software needed: https://ufile.io/a8497
- Enable USB Debugging after connecting it to your pc.
- Download TWRP for A6000 (unzip on your pc)
- Download K30-W_MIUI6_5.1.23_liuxingghost-0501251930-RUS-UK-MIUI.SU_v2.zip and place it on your phone's SD-card!
- Open "Boot-TWRP_A6000.bat"
- Phone will reboot into recovery
- Wipe > Advanced wipe
- Select first 4 options and wipe
- Go back to the main menu of TWRP and "install zip"
- Select the rom, and install.
After the rom is installed, the boot will take LONG to the point you will think the flashing has failed. Don't worry, it will boot, this is only the first time.
If it asks to update, don't it will fail.
OPTIONAL: After rom booted, put Google_installer.apk on your SD and run it from the file explorer, install ALL parts of the software to get play store working.
OPTIONAL: Install galleryGoogle.apk to get the standard android gallery, the one provided sucks imo.
The rom is only in chinese/enlish, but the standard software is so crappy and bloated, that this is a hell of a lot better.
After a bit of configuring I managed to get it all to proper English, and got play store working. The phone runs smoothly, and everything is working fine (even 4G).
ROM VERSION: 4.4.4 KUT84P
MIUI version 5.1.23 | Beta
I am not responsible for bricking your phone!
If anyone could provide me with a better rom I would be very happy, although this one is working fine for the moment.

You may want to read through this thread, the ROM linked above is in post #25(message#25) in the thread linked below. There are also many different ROMs there that you might can use with a little bit of work to set it up.
