Issues with OTA update.

Ok. So obviously anyone who has installed the google goggles remover app from the market from paul will have issues to install the ota download via bootloader. I've tried pauls method to fix this and flash back to stock rom via fastboot which could be found here - http://android.modaco.com/content/t...ng-to-stock-1-19-before-applying-the-new-ota/
My issue is it doesn't work for me. Downloaded the pc10img rom, downloaded the fastboot zip. Created a folder on my desktop named android and I put both files in there. I then extracted the fastboot zip and tried to open windows-fastboot exe which was in the zip but all I get is a black screen that opens and closes within 2 seconds. I also tried going to start->run->cmd and trying the last 3 points from pauls site and I get a unsupported command error in cmd terminal in windows. I'm using windows wista 32 bit ( if that matters ). Any ideas fellas? Your help is much appreciated.

Install update without wiping anything
Download zip file then rename it to update.zip and place in root of sdcard
Hold volume down and power then select recovery
Select install update.zip
Once completed your phone will reboot and after it turns on you will get notification saying congratulations you updated phone.
Notice that all your apps and settings remained in tact.
Worked for me.

I can't just install the update it errors out because of google goggles. I used pauls app to remove it from the system. Now I need to restore the ORIGINAL google goggles that came with the phone via flashing back to stock. My issue is pauls fastboot method isn't working out for me.

You have to change directory to the folder you created on the desktop. Then it will work.

how I did it
I had the goggles removed....
I forgot my sync cable at work.... so I renamed the .zip file to pc10img.zip
put it on the root level of my sdcard (i.e. not in any folders). I used a MicroSD adapter.
Then powered up my G2/vision while holding the touch button.
Went to the bootloader and it did a file check and found the zip file and began reflashing then reset and finished.
I also had the update.zip in the same place and it went hands free. No problems.
I used appbrain to back up my apps. but thats me.
Cheers

Just tried this method. Now my g2 is stuck at a black screen with a phone and a green arrow after the OTA update was installed via bootloader..
I cant even boot back into recovery or anything from here....

i had the same problem with the black screen and the green indicator. run fastboot reboot when it completes the update. i removed goggles and used pauls method and everything works great. if its not working youre doing it wrong

No need to make a thread for the question you asked in Paul's; I haven't had a chance to check the forums. I updated my instructions to reflect your issue, and made a response post to yours in that thread.

Mine stayed at that screen for a while. Not sure if I caused it to finally go through, but a pressed a few random buttons on the outside after a while and it continued with the install.

Updated. THX for the info.

My phone stayed at that screen for about three minutes, rebooted itself, then finished the update. Just let is sit for a minute

Anybody have any ideas?
(Don't mind the signature...this was done on my T-Mobile G2 lol)
Thanks!

Make sure you have it named update noticed you had udate as the spelling. And if you did pauls way and reverted back to stock / wiped then you shouldn't have problems loading the update . Make sure its on the root of your sd card. Then update via bootloader.

Its not that hard, all you do is place the latest OTA update on your sd card, and rename it to update.zip. . .Its easier than it looks. Then you just boot into recovery, and flash it.

But we want to know what we do when we used the google goggles remover app

You have to reflash the stock ROM, meaning it erases everything, then you flash the ota on top. Paul has more infoat his site.

You do realize you have to run the fastboot commands through adb. And that file has to be located where you have fastboot, or the sdk tools folder is.
Code:
fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip

[Q] Flashing radio from HBoot

I have flashed the newest radio (26.09.04.26_M) via hboot, but I want to revert to the previous one because I was getting better download speeds. Unfortunately, every time I try to update it, it says "invalid image" or "no image." I have checked the md5 sum of the file, it is correct, I still have s=off, but I have tried multiple times to no avail. I don't have access to ADB, because I am at work. I am running Royal Fusion 1.06. Someone help me out here, please!

All you need to do is download the correct PD15IMG.zip from the radio thread and store it on the root of your SDcard. Make sure you've deleted the other one off your SDcard or it might be picking up both of them and throwing the error.

I have done that. In fact, this was a clean card that i used to install. In Astro, the file shows as PD15IMG. Under details, it shows as a .zip file. I don't have to rename it PD15IMG.zip.zip do I?

But yes.

That's the thread I've been using. In fact, I've flashed each of the radios twice to see which worked best for me. Just for s&g's I changed back to my old sd card, and it worked! Not sure why it wouldn't play well with the new one, but all is well now. Thanks for responding!

I would say you need to specify more of what you're doing. I'd recommend installing Rom Manager, then in the Rom Manager app, do the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (the app is in the market).
Then download whatever rom you want, like CM 7.1 and copy it over to your cf card. Then run the Rom Manager again, and tell it to 'Install ROM from SD Card'
Realize, as is always stated, I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Be very careful to ensure everything is done right.

Bad downloads sometimes abort. Have you verified the MD5 hash of any of the zips before you tried flashing? Also, what ROMs did you try?

I'm using the latest flash clockworkmod from rom manager to try and install. i'm downloading the roms from xda with a mac. When they are done they are unzipped so i zip them back up and put them on my sd card. I've tried Royalgingerv3, update cm7.1, blockbuster6,

Assuming you did everything else right, which seems likely since you got S off, this is the most likely answer.
It's also the easiest thing to try and fix because you can just redownload the ROM and try again with a fresh copy. And ROM's do get corrupted during downloads more often than you're think, so it's not unlikely that this is your problem.
Also, download it from the phone using Clockworkmod. Less chance of the file getting borked on the transfer to the SD card.

The downloaded rom should already be zipped, so no need to zip it. And if you need to zip them back up I think it has to be without compression.

Thanks everybody. Seems like i was making harder then it was. I just had to leave my computer out of it and everything works fine.

[Q] Stuck on Revolutionary recovery screen after flashing kernel

Yesterday I completed my first root (using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228566 ). Today I downloaded HDMwIn HDMI mirroring app which told me I needed the kernel manager lite. I Dowloaded and flashed I think it was Tiamat_evo kernel. After that it automatically restarted. htc white welcome screen comes on, goes away for 5 secs, white welcome screen comes back, goes away again then the revolutionary recovery screen comes on. I tried running the zip file from when I rooted it again but after rebooting again it does the same thing, over and over and over and over. I'm able to access the sd card via usb mount on the computer and I'm thinking there could a file I could put on there to make this right, maybe? I'm just not sure what file that would be if there is one. Like I said...pretty new to this stuff, so any help will be appreciated.

Go to recovery if you have amon ra its called USB -MS toggle enable it and then plug your phone into your pc transfer the kernel over to you phone disable ms toggle then wipe dalvik cache and cache flash the kernel reboot and see if it works. In clockworkmod its under mounts and storage and enable USB mass storage and then follow the steps i posted

nope, no roms yet...should I have done that? Im downloading that kernal now on the pc, what do i do with the file after that. Not sure what you mean by clockwork mod..I followed the rooting process that i linked in the OP.

you don't need to flash a rom. After you download it go to recovery then mounts and storage and then enable usb mass storage then plug your phone into your pc and put the kernel on the root of your sdcard(not in any folders) . Tell me when you get this far

Not sure about the error but there is a USB driver you need to install for you PC which I had to install before running the root method I used(forgot which, to be honest). Pretty sure it allows you computer to talk to your phone though I could be completely wrong.

Says it's Win 7 compatible and for the Evo Shift but the file name says 32, so if you're running 64, you want to Google search before to make sure it's universal.

I was having trouble with my camera, and is on TeamAndroid AOSP Roms, and partitioned my sdcard (500m out of 16g).
One thing when I partition the sdcard, i didn't make a back up, so I lost everything was on the sd card. so my current sdcard has no recovery.img or anything, other the files the rom created after flashed. No sure it makes any different.
Should do fastboot or recovery now? I'm on Hboot.

I may have missed something but I hope you aren't extracting the actual PG06IMG.zip file. It needs to go onto your sdcard intact.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium

jsp254 is correct, I hope your not extracting the file. The PG06IMG.zip needs to be run in HBOOT. Like crump said it should be found automatically when you boot into HBOOT. You will be prompted on whether you want to flash the zip or not.

FYI, I had an issue with the 2.3 PG06IMG.zip where it flashed my bootloader to S-ON and refused to downgrade to from 2.77 to 2.76 (2.3.4 PG06IMG.zip)
I had to use the thunderbolt misc.img trick in order trick it to downgrade.
Becareful recommending things like this, guys. We're lucky we have this trick or you could screw a few people over by telling them they can use this .zip to downgrade. [I almost screwed myself over]

Do I need to use the 2.2 RUU?
EDIT:fastboot getvar version-main

Hrm. Did I screw up here?
Can I still use the 2.2 RUU?
Do I need to use the downgrade techniques to get it to downgrade?
EDIT2: I flashed the misc.img in order to trick hboot into installing 2.3.4 stock.
I'm not sure if I was suppose to have to do that.. but whatever, it worked.

Yes ignore all virus warnings. It's funny because after doing a virus scan with avast! on my pc it wanted to delete the visionary app lol. I know it's a malicious app for rooting exploits on android but it shouldn't be warning me about it on my pc lol.

But I've changed them to the lowest settings, with still the same message. I've also had it delete the Visionary apk. But at this point I just shut it down when I'm doing something I know it will interfere with. Gives me the same messages with RUU's .
