i got a 2.2 update notification......
first i got this txt
"vmfreemsg: starting 4/11/11, you will be notified of a phone software update available for your intercept. click http://msg4u.us/isr for more information"
froyo finally here.
cant wait for this to come out!
Is this update going to be fast or is it going to take a days
Please save update.zip file to SD Card during the update
Anyone who received the update notification, could you also please do the following before running the update?
Install any free Logcat App from Android Market and install on your phone this weekend prior to 4/11/2011.
Run Logcat App first. Then, only download the update and choose option to install it later.
Check the log file created by Logcat and send the output to sdx-developers Forum. Especially, cut and paste the Google/VM/Sprint server names where Update is coming from and any user id and password (if there are any at all).
Also, please check whether your SD card shows update.zip in root folder of SD card.
If yes, please copy that file from your SD card root folder to your PC and post it to sdx-developers Forum.
This will help all rooted Samsung Intercept users on Virgin Mobile to get Update.zip of official Froyo Release.
is there any better flash player for the intercept than skyfire
I downloaded [OFFICIAL ROM UPDATE] Gingerbread 2.3.3 Update for HTC EVO Shift 4G from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127499
and I cant figure out how to install it. I put the file in the root file of my sd card then went into bootloader and nothing.
I'm going to ask this, but I'm pretty sure I already know the answer: are you rooted?
If not, and you don't care about root at this time, just go to HTC Software Updates, under Menu, settings, system updates, htc software update, and click check now.
Otherwise, two things disturb me about the link. The size of the file only shows 9.5 mb in the parenthesis next to the file name. It's actually 248 mb. Also, it's not in the correct name format, to just update from the bootloader. It needs to be PG06IMG.zip. But you can't just rename the file in the link above to PG06IMG.zip. It just won't work.
Or just go to shipped roms (shipped-roms.com) and download the latest ruu, and then connect the phone to your computer, and run the exe.
I tried the htc updates in setting and it said there were no updates for my phone. I gave up I found an ruu file and did it like you said and it worked great thanks. I was rooted but i only did it for wireless teather and i never used it so unrooting was not a problem.
By the way i used this ruu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128410 to update and it work great

This firmware is apparently dated 2017.06.07 (in other words, apparently the very latest) - but what date is mentioned in your phone's Settings > About phone > Android security patch level?

Yes, first download & install C470B200 for GRA-UL00 from the Huawei/Australia site: http://consumer.huawei.com/au/support/mobile-phones/p8-au-sup.htm
Direct download link (1.67Gb): http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=79564&siteCode=au
Backup your phone - texts, contacts, personal files, photos, music, videos, etc as applicable.
Unzip the downloaded file & copy the resulting single large file (possibly Update.app) to the phone's external microSD card. Disconnect phone from PC, then go to Settings > Update > Update from SD card (or something similar).
This is still only Lollipop, but once on B200 one can usually safely update to Marshmallow directly.
Once the update is complete & you check the phone functions normally, confirm that the end of the build number (in Settings > About phone) now has B200. You should also delete the large update file from the SD card. Check if there are any newer updates via OTA, using Settings > Update > Check for updates.
If there are no new updates found via the above method, check with Firmware Finder. Are there any offered? If yes, it should be a Marshmallow one (if none offered, let us know). Download the latest FULL update file (not the OTA), unzip it to Update.app & copy this to a folder named 'dload' on your external microSD card (if this folder doesn't exist, manually create it). Disconnect phone from PC, then use the phone's dialler to type *#*#2846579#*#* to access the Project Menu. Finally select 4. Software Upgrade > 1. SDCard Upgrade.
From now on, you'll need to use this dload-dialler method to install newer updates.
Wow that is awesome reply, thanks so much, I'll give a shot tomorrow and let you know. Cheers
Hi, the security patch level is 5 may 2017.
I have downloaded the file and put onto sd card. It was the update.app file that was extracted. It was in a folder called dload but just copy pasted the update.app file.
I try to do local update and it cant find it. Says...unable to find update package. Please download the package and copy to your sd card or the /dload directory in your internal storage.
Not sure what to do, i have just over 4gb on phone storage avail, should i do the /dload update?

Ok, so that's like the latest anyway. Just wondering if you really need this one which is dated more than a year ago.

Yes, if you've already copied it, manually create a folder called d'load on the SD card & cut+paste it into this folder. Then try again.
Restarted phone, tried local update - its doing it now

Cannot find any updates for either of the methods suggested to take it any further towards marshmallow.

Hi, I'm in NZ with a GRA-L09. Your problem I think is you need to debrand your phone to an open market version.
(For the L09 that is C432) I was stuck like you are waiting for local carriers to provide updates but they'd rather sell you a new phone. The guide on here hopefully apples to the UL00 too. Only word of caution would be too check the carrier bands are compatible.
Edit: looks like C185 is open version but I could be wrong, latest is B390.
Sent from my HUAWEI GRA-L09
thanks wbrambley, I think i will leave like it is. probably sell it soon i reckon. It is open branded, bought outright. Not and never locked to any network.
Cheers for all help guys.

Ok, don't worry, That's why I mentioned in an earlier post, "if none offered, let us know".
What you need to install next is a Marshmallow C636 build (Southern Pacific region) - note that here you are moving from C470, which is not normally recommended. But it'll work fine as the region (SP) is identical (only the Cxxx code changes), & also as confirmed by namaiki in this forum thread (view last couple of posts).
For further confirmation, also view attached screenshot below from the download source.
Delete the B200 update file in the dload folder.
Direct, full download for GRA-UL00 C636B361 (Marshmallow): http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91443&siteCode=sg
Here, as it's going to be a 'forced' update, follow the dload-dialler method to install as mentioned in post #2.
Once it completes, check for an OTA update (Settings > Update > Check for update). If nothing, you can proceed to install the latest found by Firmware Finder (FF), which is C636B372 (confirm for yourself in FF).
Delete the B361 update file in the dload folder.
Direct, full download for GRA-UL00 C636B372: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G985/g104/v88000/f1/full/update.zip
Again, use the dload-dialler method to install. After completion, can you confirm the security patch level date - it should be June 2017.
ok, so have done the first update B361 - it actually started upgrade for a while, then said incompatability with customization information. Please download the correct update package - reboot.
So I rebooted, phone was completely wiped (no dramas), and set it up again. Couldn't do australia, so chose usa over english UK.
Now it shows following:
Model Number: GRACE
Build Number: GRA - C900B361
EMUI version EMUII 4.0.1
Android Version 6.0
Android Security patch level Juni 1 2016
I have noticed that right down the bottom of that screen it used to have a custom version (numbers and letters).
It's not there anymore.
Anyways i will try for the next update you mentioned now.
All good - did the update B372. I assume all is ok. model number GRACE
Build Number GRA-C900B372 (why does it not show the UL00?
EMUI 4.0.3
Android Version 6.0
Android security patch level July 1, 2017
Think it all seems good. Any chance of Nougat lol ?? Just kidding.
Cheers for all help, much appreciated. Not sure if anymore to do now, seem fine.

Only other thing is when setting up, no mention of australia. Can only choose English (UK) or English (US). Then amongst the next selections is no australia etc. Any ideas?
Righto - lots of issues now. cant sign into google or anything at all actually. for example, trying to sign into google - just goes in a loop to sign in. cant even get past the next button.
Other stuff crashing. bluetooth doesnt seem to be working.
Should I somehow go back to another version?
Sorry to hear about the issues. Just goes to show that sometimes what works for one doesn't always work for everyone else (this is rare though it would appear).
The changes you see in 'About phone' is because you installed a different Cxxx build.
Revert to the working B361 update by reinstalling it via the dload-dialler method.
So replace the B372 update file with B361 & run the update steps.
If all works well (apart from the visual changes), only attempt OTA updates from now. In other words, don't use FF to find & install updates.
That's ok, it happens. My problem is I can't even get my pc to show the sd card now to put the update file on. All I get is GRACE showing in my pc, and I open that, there is no files. Can't copy paste or anything, or even create new folder, very weird. This is via usb cable.
Trying to find a adapter for the micro sd card.
Any thoughts, sorry to be a pest.

Yeah, sometimes it happens to me as well - try disconnecting & reconnecting. Otherwise the adapter (or cardreader) method should work.
ok, so finally got the file to sd card, and installed via dialler GRA-UL00 C636B361 (Marshmallow). All working good.
still a bit confused as to why it shows in about phone GRA-C900B361 and not the UL00 part.
As android security patch is now 2016, should i go back to GRA-UL00C470B200.
I wanted really to update this phone to sell it, but not sure if it is still same region south pacific/asia etc. Sorry for all the dumb questions, still learning.
Cheers

I know you said not to use firmware finder etc, just had a look out of curiosity, and attached image is showing - worth a try or not?

It shows the C900 'cause you have flashed a rom with different CUST partition from the original one. This is the reason why you are having those bugs. My advice for you is to extract the CUST image from GRA-UL00C636B361 with HuaweI Update extarctor and flash It in fastboot with the command "fastboot flash cust CUST.IMG".
