Clockwork does not currently support flashing radio. You will need to use PB31IMG.zip to perform a full RUU to the leaked OTA 2.1 firmware. Afterwards, run unrevoked3, then apply the leaked 2.2 rom.

Ok already did the pb31img. The instructions posted here said to update the radio ota before loading the 2.2 Rom... should the radio update be omitted ? I thought I read earlier that if the new 2.2 leak was applied before updating radio there would be problems with cam. Ect. Not working ...

Okay, just to clarify, you are running BONE STOCK, with stock recovery.
Does your error look like this?

If so, go ahead and boot up your device with bone stock 2.1, and make sure the exchange update is applied. If not, you should get prompted for an OTA. Install that OTA, then retry the radio update.

I haven't applied any updates yet... never got prompted for an ota update yet... bone stock 2.1 with stock recovery. I did the P311.img which unroots if I'm not mistaken. Did wipe after the p311.img . Is there some way to force the ota ? Btw how do I apply exchange update?

Thanks for the suggestions... I figured it out.. I renamed the file as update instead of update.zip .retired and it worked perfectly... loaded 2.2 through clockwork... froyo happiness ! thanks again

Ok, who can explain what just happened to me (FRG83D update)

Hi All,
im running an nexus one (unlocked bootloader) with a custom recovery (amon ra). Recently i got the message that there is an OTA update available.
Even though i knew that custom recoveries don't support OTA i accepted to try out what happens.
The nexus one rebooted but there was no update installed (N1 stayed at FRG83).
After that, i downloaded the update manually and put it on my sd card as update.zip.
When i went to recovery i was surprised that the amon ra recovery was gone, i could only get into the stock recovery. via stock recovery i installed the FRG83D update which worked fine.
So did my first try to install the OTA wipe the custom recovery and revert it back to stock? Does this mean that i can directly install future OTA updates since i have stock recovery now?

Yes and yes.
There is no problem flashing OTAs through custom recovery if you turn off signature verification.

oh ok i didn't know that.
i don't really need a custom recovery, just wanted to get rid of the vodafone firmware. so if i got you right, i now should have stock recovery and FRG83D (US), then i'm perfectly happy.

[Q] How to get stock recovery back for rooted wildfire ?

Hello mates,
I have a rooted wildfire with Wildpuzzle ROM v2.2. My recovery image is the Clockwork Recovery.
I want to load the Stock Froyo, now that app2SD is possible without root.
(App2sd is the only reason rooted).
I tried flashing the RUUxxxxx.exe file ,but got the error cannot upgrade your phone.
I found that signing key of the custom recovery is the causing the problem and that I have to get the Stock Recovery. And only then I will be able to run the RUUxxxx.exe file for Stock Froyo 2.2.
Can anyone tell me how I can do it ?
It will be of great help if any one can share an original "recovery.img" .
Also I am having trouble with fastboot becuase I have S-ON in bootloader.

Make a gold card. Flash stock RUU. Flash 2.2 RUU. Done! Look up a guide of making goldcard on xda or modaco.

So you dont need the root anymore?
Then you should download from shipped-roms.com a WWE that is eclair run the .exe on ur pc and when its done go to (in ur phone) to the updates section and OTA upgrade to non-rooted official froyo!
(Htc Buzz:wildfire WWE is under the windows mobile section for some reason xD)

Going back to stock from CM7

Guys i need your help
History:
1. bought the phone with froyo (phone is atrix 4g att)
2. updated over-the-air to gingerbread
3. rooted
4. installed clockworkmod
5. unlocked bootloader
6. backed up stock rom
6. installed cyanogenmod 7 beta with android recovery (update.zip)
Now I want to get back to gingerbread 2.3.4, so can i just restore it via clockworkmod restore or there is some other way?
And if i just restore my backup, is it safe for future OTA updates?
PS: i did spend my time searching and reading xda forums but i am not sure what to do because english is my 2nd language and i don't understand everything, i love my atrix and don't wan't to brick it
Thanks

System and boot version only? What happened with webtop after flashing to cm7, is it still in phone?
What about some other rom, alien or aura, is the same procedure as for cm7 via android recovery?

You backed up your previous rom.....restore it.

flash either CWM packages or fastboot flash of system / boot partitions.
those are safe.

Shield Update 2.2 is out!

http://shield.nvidia.com/tablet-release-notes/2.2/
now to figure out how to get this to update on my rooted LTE Tablet.....

I'm rooted and just got the update. But haven't completed the update yet as I'm too lazy to reroot.

I tried using the nvidia updater, which failed since it rebooted and CWM had no idea what to do. I made a CWM backup so I am going to see how well it flashes in CWM manually.
I managed to find the OTA download location and have superSU at the ready in my downloads folder in case I have to reflash. the OTA saved as:
/data/data/com.nvidia.ota/files/ROM/shield_tablet_software_upgrade_2.2_-_lte__5.0.1.zip

Someone please report the steps on how to do this for Rooted 2.1.

CWM install zip failed. build fingerprint mismatched, its probably CWM. Will try sideloading stock recovery then installing the zip afterward, I think I remember seeing somewhere here that's how people upgraded rooted devices from 2.0 to 2.1

Omg things seem to be more snappy! The dreaded lag may be gone! I'm not rooted so I did the ota install

I'm really interested in your findings, i need to find a tutorial on how to flash back stock recovery then i can do the update and hopefully reroot.

Awsome sounds good. Quick question to get stock recovery back all id have to do is extract the recovery.img file from the ota 2.1 file i downloaded off nvidia's site and load it like i did the CWM recovery from the root thread right?

Or (if you've got root) wait until the full 2.2 .zip is available, then download it and flash it through your custom recovery, followed by the latest SuperSU. (just like the last Lollipop update).
Interestingly, the OTA update tool has an option for "Check full update" (under the top right menu), but it doesn't seem to return anything...yet...

Pretty much you are going
Flash Stock recovery by any preferred method
Flash Update
adb Reflash CWM recovery
Thru recovery flash SuperSU
**Profit**
Working on getting all the files in one package as of right now. Damn internet hogs in my house.

Cant we use Flashify to flash stock recovery and then updating the OTA and then reflash our recoverys and supersu.zip?

You won't be able to successfully flash the UPDATE .zip file (~94MB) on a rooted (read: modified) Lollipop version.
Recovery version is irrelevant.
You need the FULL 2.2 rom (already found above , ~731MB), flash it in your current custom recovery and re-root by flashing SuperSU again.

ok, here's what I dug up. If you are rooted and want it NOW, get to it, otherwise wait for someone to clean up the process:
get the OTA from here: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...hread-released-2-17-15-/post/4464815/#4464815
get your latest SuperSU flashable zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
get your recovery ready for reflashing, the OTA will install the stock recovery again. I went with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58864006&postcount=90
boot into recovery and install zip from sideload. then choose either: adb sideload productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_do-full_ota-29979_512.4856.zip or adb sideload productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-29979_512.4856.zip
reboot and let the upgrade happen, you've lost root and recovery, but you still are unlocked so you just have to reflash them. get into fastboot with power and volume down, then flash recovery: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-shieldtablet.img
load up recovery and flash the superSU zip and you're back in business.

That means a rooted lollipop user with custom recovery, can download the full ota, and dirty flash it, right?
