Can't find download for rc8 to rc9 - G1 General

My UK G1 has never received any OTA updates. I finally got fed up with a 3 hour battery life and thought I'd try and manually update - using legit software, i'm not bothered about hacked versions or keeping root etc...
My trouble is, it seems I'm a bit late to the party. I've managed to go from rc7 to rc8. But every download link I find for rc8 to rc9 is dead.
Can anyone supply a link that works to go from rc8 to 9, and hopefully one to go to cupcake?
Thanks in advance.

UK Update

Just thought I'd let you guys know that earlier this morning I got an automatic update running standard firmware.
TMI-RC9 now Firmware ver 1.1, if that means anything to you guys.
I have the proper market now, not the Beta version, and have the change view option.... but no paid apps appear.... yet.
I've installed the jf RC9 update but don't seem to have latitude...
guys, please use the search button before starting new threads...this has been around for a few days now:

sdx-developers now have ROMs based on 4/11/2011 VM USA Froyo release

The great developers and testers at sdx-developers came up with two version of Froyo using VM USA Froyo release.
1.
Rooted Froyo ROM for those who previously upgraded to Sprint Froyo 2.2
For Sprint baseband, DL05 or DF27
2.
Stock Froyo ROM based on latest VM USA
A few people tested this and reported that MMS and Voice Mail notifications working again.
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...obile-froyo-2-2-stock-system-and-kernel-dump/
Please read in detail and decide for yourself.
I'm still not sure about this update. It's not as simple as running Update.zip, right? You need to flash it, then do a factory reset, then download another program, run that, and THEN it works? Also, is this a modified ROM at all?
Yeah, this isn't the zipped rom from Virgin Mobile, this is pieced (back) together from the 2.2 update installed on an Intercept after the fact, apparently.
3:30pm PDT on 4/13 and still nothing.
I still haven't seen anybody come up with the actual 2.2 Froyo zipped rom from Virgin Mobile. Apparently everyone so far has popped a nut when they get the update and installed it directly instead of downloading it and choosing to install it later, then locating it on their phone and posting it somewhere.
I've got aLogcat installed. I am just waiting for the update to show up. I've seen the message that it is coming. Still waiting for it to arrive though. When it does I'll try to get the devs what they need. I don't really know what I am doing, but I'll give it a go.
I guess this no longer matters as the official update is now in the hands of SDX-Developers.
got mine on 4/20
holy sweet baby jesus this stuff is killing me! I've managed (by the grace) to get my bf's intercept rooted (not temp).. been on this for hours! I'm fairly accustomed to the process as I have an evo and been flashing nightlies for months.
I can't get a recovery on the phone via swupgrade. I put the cm01.tar in the binary folder by itself, and the thing goes through right to the last part and just sits there, doesn't transfer. heeeelp pleeeease! I'm so sick of this now. I was able to delete much of the bloat ware and now I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to try and get a better rom / kernel. Advice?

2.2.2 streak rom question

I just recently picked up a dell streak. It's brand new with what I'm guessing it the latest shipped rom which is build number 15274 running android version 2.2.2
All I see is custom roms and reflashing back to other roms to root....blah blah blah...is there a way to just root my current rom and not have to flash a completely new one? I'm all for supporting the community, I'd just like to keep this as device as clean as possible and remove all the bloatware.

Download SuperOneClick v1.5.5 and root away. Dont forget to put your phone into USB debugging mode before rooting, its very important that you do that. Or just follow the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925853 good luck.
Wow thanks, I totally skipped over that post!!! I guess from what I was reading I was expecting the whole process to be a lot more complicated.
Thanks a ton!
Anytime.

How come Dell don't push out the 2.2.2 version OTA to their customers?
I check for updates every day, but have just once received any. (2.2)
Their way of saying; "we just don't give a f*ck about our customers"?
You should have gotten that update weeks ago. It's been OTA for probably about a month now. And I don't know how much you've read, but a lot of what happened with not updating from 1.6 was probably AT&T's fault because they wouldn't okay the build (speculated). Dell had the source up for 2.2 for a long time, if I remember correctly.
I'm on unlocked stock EU ROM since day one. Just to clarify.
Do you mean the 2.2.2 was shipped OTA, for EU users too?
Ohhh. Didn't notice you were on EU. I don't know if Dell released one for EU yet (probably hasn't since you don't have the option to OTA). Just remember that it's not just the phone maker responsible for updates, the carrier has some say in it, too. Are you still on 1.6? Because you could always try out DJ Steve's ROM if you wanted to try something different.
No, the one OTA update I received, was the 1.6 --> 2.2 on last October.
Since then - nothing. I guess it's only in America people get the 2.2.2.
Thanx for taking time to reply.
No problem, haha. I hope you get it soon
I really want the update to, I'm in the Uk and I'm still on 2.2, I would do it myself but its just to complicated and don't wanna mess up my phone. Has anyone in the Uk got the 2.2.2 upgrade? And to be honest I really wont the 2.3 upgrade, but seeing as we still don't have the 2.2.2 upgrade, I think we'll be waiting a long time :'(
2.2.2?
If someone updated from 1.6, to the "non official" 2.2, is there any difference between it and 2.2.2?
2.2.2 is supposedly immune to the malware loaded from the 50 or so infested apps that Google removed recently from the market.

US Update - Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2

So according to the file here - http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...A TAB&Step3=A500&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_7
B. Country: USA
- Supported OS version: Acer_A500_1.141.07_COM_GEN1
- Upgrade to OS version: Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2
Usa should have "Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2"
However is ANYONE getting that update? I manually ran "Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1" but obviously that does not appear to be the right one for the US model, thats for UK/France/Italy/Spain.
If anyone has Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2 update.zip please post it.
Thats the build number I have. It came OTA back on the 6th, update to 3.1. I think that if you search the forums, the update .zip had been posted, I just can't for the life of me remember where.
got 4.010.08 ota a few days ago, then 4.010.09 two days ago, and now I am on 4.010.10.
same for me!

How are you guys getting builds above .08? Are you and your device in the US. I'm in dire need of an update but still on this original one releases last week. 08
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
are we ever getting the update here in the Mid-West?
Well I am really starting to wonder then, I have never gotten ANY update.
I restored back to stock 1.104.02_COM_GEN1 and recovery, no update.
I updated manually with update.zip for 1.141.07_COM_GEN1, and back to stock recovery, no update.
I have tried from different networks and internet connections just in case something was blocked. I am in Florida BTW.
It NEVER sees and update. Any suggestions anyone?
be patient, i believe the US rollout might be slow due to updates???
No i havent gotten mine either.....
Bump.
So no one has received "Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2"?
I've tried going back to stock images:
1.104.02_COM_GEN1 - No updates
1.141.07_COM_GEN1 - No updates
4.010.01_COM_GEN2 - No updates
4.010.04_COM_GEN1 - No updates
So to sum that up, I've never seen an OTA on any build... any thoughts guys?

Just got this Iconia at Costco July 3.
I registered it at startup. Never received an unsolicited OTA update. But used setting/about tablet/System update.
Got the original .08 3.1 about 7/5 or so, never wrote it down
Acer Iconia Bought 7-3-11
Acer_A500_4.010.09_COM_GEN2 on 7-11-11
Acer_A500_4.010.10_COM_GEN2 on 7-13-11
Running 1st OTA leak of 4.010.04_com_gen1 that was rooted and loaded via CWM, and managed to get 4.010.10 via OTA last night while I'm out in Boston. Connection was through hotel's Comcast wifi network if that may help map out the roll-out.
Of course it didn't work as I don't have the stock bootloader and it fails when you try. It's a small update of something like 80mb or so. Obviously from a few posts here, someone's thought that the last .10 number refers to region is not correct and it is the standard version format that we all know. (major.minor.patch) At least for 3.1 at any rate.

Any chance you have the update.zip file for 4.010.10? If so I can provide you a site to upload it to.

Acer_A500_4.010.40_COM_GEN1 is the highest one I have seen now... it almost seems as though the last 2 digits are random at this point. I can't see acer putting out a build per day.
What does your buiild.prop show in /system/build.prop

.40 is an update for the international Eurasia versions of the tablet. ie: Thailand, Aussie, India, Swiss.
.38 seems to be an update for the European versions of the tablet ie: France, UK, Spain.
To clarify, .22 (Euro - UK, France, Spain, etc.) ROMS should update to .38 and .24 (Eura - Swiss, India, Thailand, Aussie) ROMS should update to .40
I haven't seen a US update yet. I myself got .08. I'm completely stock, not even rooted, never have and mine came on the 6th.
Someone in here reported being updated to .10, that MAY be ours.

Honor USA: EMUI 5.0 is officially rolling out starting on Feb 11th

Just for the purpose of tracking the rolling out process in the north America region, let's try collecting some date information when you receive the rollout. The process of this upgrade could become a helpful guideline for future upgrade events in the region! Models L04 and L14 might be involved. Let's also comment on your state, wireless service provider, if you are in the beta group and when you got the phone to see if anything is correlated. Please take a minute to fill out the form:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Thank you!
Now, on the official Honor_USA social account, https://twitter.com/Honor_USA, N is coming on Feb 11th. Period.
Update: from Rox_honor, it's officially released on Feb 10th in the US. Some people have had this update already.
To force the update, you can check the method posted on Page 2, #16: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70992090&postcount=16.
Reserve for updating statistics, if possible. Again, the Google Spreadsheet to fill out is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Feel free to add more columns if you think they are helpful.
So far it seems that only T-Mobile users are getting the update. Just tried to update my Mom's phone, we are on Cricket (AT&T) and there was no update for her. Tried putting it on airplane and restarting but still nothing. I'll probably try again tomorrow.

There is one entry reporting received the update while on Straight Talk. We need to have more data in order to figure out the rollout sequence. GOOD LUCK!
i purchased the Unlocked Honor 8 from US (amazon). But I'm an indian user and I'm using it with an indian carrier . will i get the update as the other north american devices or do i have to wait longer
Did not get the update (FRD - L04)
But I forgot whether or not the L04 is international or US (i live in the US though)
yeah i havent gotten it either still says no updates available
I haven't received the update either on L04. I read on the other thread that it rolls out in small batches.
Edit: Here's the post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70964112&postcount=392
Nothing on L04 AT&T yet. Purchased from NewEgg and first activated in December.
Got it 3 weeks ago. L04 from b&h.
Bought it unlocked at Frys a week ago and received the update yesterday. I just want to caution all rooted and unlocked users! I received the update yesterday and upgraded it like a fool. I cant get into twrp recovery and the stock recovery seems to be broken. I even installed a newer twrp thru fastboot but im still not able to go into recovery. Im looking through all the forums but no one seems to have this problems yet. Im still waiting on some help if anyone has a solution. So please be aware before updating. Hopefully Im the only one with this problem.

Ahh, I was an idiot and had the same thing.
What happened is that I was rooted, and installed via Charles app, and it bugged out.
The reason for that is that TWRP can't install the stock ROM.
You need to get into fastboot, and reflash the stock recovery, and use it to dload the emui 4.1 file. Make sure you get the full package version.
After that it will be all wiped. You might run into a few errors but let the recovery do its thing.
You'll eventually be able to boot into the OS and then run the update normally.
I want to root my honor 8 on nougat, but I'm waiting for a patch from Huawei first because of all the bugs, just because of this.
Also I don't think rooting the honour 8 on nougat works that we'll yet, hopefully someone comes up with a method that doesn't suck so hard.
Hopefully they'll do it quickly.
Do you mind pointing me to the right direction to find those files? stock recovery and the 4.1.
Ive seen the rollback files... is that what you're talking about?

I used the firmware finder tool for it. You can get it for Windows. It's somewhere around the forum, but you can probably Google it.
Once you get the full package you can extract the recovery.img from it.
Unlocked FRD-L04 bought from Amazon. Living in Argentina. Got update yesterday. Really happy with it.
Folks, if you are impatient, you can use the Firmware Finder to send the Firmware B360 (I am using the Jan 3 one) to your Updater for a full package update. More information can be found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/news-huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3550882
A few notes here from my personal experience:
1. Once you set up the proxy from the Finder's proxy app which should be downloaded after you enabled the "send firmware to updater" (check notification afterward), you then click on the latest firmware # and "send firmware to updater".
2. On the Setting/Updater, click the menu and use "Download full update package", which should direct you to a 2.27Gb package (not the 1.28Gb package, or you will not be able to login!) and click on the "Quick update" button. You may need to wait for a while to see this option. Up to now, you may not be able to download anything yet.
3. Go back to the wifi setting and turn on proxy setting to "None" again and reconnect with the wifi network. Now you should pause the Updater and then resume it. You should now be able to download the full package and install it.
4. After all the update process, it could be helpful to charge your phone without the screen turning on. This is told to be useful to optimize the battery performance immediately after the update. The phone might be slow in a couple of hours as optimizations are going on in the background. But everything will become normal afterward
Good luck!
bought L04 from newegg using it in Pakistan no update for me as of yet
This is all bulls*it. Same update we got in january, and by the way, it's buggy.
L04 here, bought from Amazon about a month ago. Running on T-Mobile US. Still no update yet.
Is there any way to change the white notification background? I prefer the old color scheme, Mich easier on the eyes at night.
