[2/23/2011] OFFICIAL OTA Froyo for At&T & Rogers thread - Streak 5 General

See post here over at Direct2Dell
roll out begins today (about time dell) but i've already been on streakdroid and more than happy with it.
At least those who waited are happy... now lets start *****ing about gingerbread or honeycomb
Here's the url for the update http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A111231 if you need it for some reason or other.
Please lets keep all discussion regarding this update in this thread.
Please lets not have 100 new threads created all over the place for the same topic.
Please lets stay on topic and not turn into a "why don't you just qdl" etc.

link not working
To many /// in link
.dell.com///LandingPages/Streak/AT&T/Streak_ATT_DonutEclair_Froyo315/en/page2.html

not downloading
I get to page 4 and java script download not downloading.

Downloading now. Looks like build 340. Filename is Streak_340_14844_31.pkg

I'd be interested to see if it's any better than stock dell 2.2, or 318 as folks call it.

Will not download here
At download and install, It will not download, anyone have any ideas?

It's downloading for me but I am downloading via 3G so it's going to be a little while before it's complete...

Here's the link to the package file if anyone is interested:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_340_14844_31.pkg

Downloaded
I downloaded to Desktop, How would I go about installing it?
Would I copy to SD Card and then try to run it from there?
PS, Mine is AT&T 1.6 Completely Stock US BestBuy unit.
I one of the dumbAzzzzzzz's that did not update anything.

So ultimately, this shows us that it was a delay at DELL..and not AT&T that had us waiting so long. (granted I'm sure at&t was requesting changes on beta that was sent months ago).

downloading now.. eager to see if anyone can load it and tell us the differences between 318,319 and 322...
340 is a big jump imho.... If this has the wap and unknown sources included I will jump to it.

according to the first link...
it has mobile wifi hotspot
his software update also includes:
Improved performance & memory management
Enhanced Microsoft Exchange support
Ability to create a portable WiFi hotspot
Adobe Flash™ 10.1
Dell Mobile Sync powered by Nero™ to manage & sync your media & Outlook contacts with a PC. Download from support.dell.com/Streak

Anyone notice or see a reason to go to this from DJ Steve?

Well I'm running 318, and I want to update to 340. When I got the phone I quickly upgraded to 318 and I have been waiting for an official update from Dell for the AT&T Streaks. That's just me though.
I'm curious about this 340 update, please let us know some differences and maybe hidden fixes that are included.

Well that stinks. My update failed. Error was cryptic but it looks like it was checking vendor type and didn't get a match with "ATT" on my current ROM. crap

not downloading
Sitting here for over 2 hours after clicking download and install and no notification indication, no download indication on the streak.
I did down load the file to my desktop. Sitting here still waiting.
Any ideas since I have the update pkg. file.

Download fine. After install it rebooted itself and stuck on Dell Splash Logo. For like over 5 minutes. I walked away and came back to it still stuck. So I pulled the battery. Trying again.
RETRIED:
Still stuck on dell splash. battery pull returns phone to normal, but something is not happening after it reboots. I waited alot longer this time just in case.

Are you privy to some inside info? How does this demonstrate that? Could Dell have been waiting for the OK to pull the trigger from AT&T? Did Dell release this without AT&T's approval because they got tired of how the wait reflected on them? Why would Dell release updates for other carriers and not AT&T unless there was some issue or approval process they needed to complete?
If you have inside dope share. If you can demonstrate a logical thought process that get you to your conclusion enlighten us.

Error while updating
I tried downloading 3 times and while installing I get an error: Error code 7. Does anyone else experience the same issue?

but thanks for the head up
EDIT: is it even ready yet?? will it let you sign in...cuz it wont let me
Ikr lol i love it
And yeah signing in a problem too it says invalid something
It will go live very soon. Some can, some can't.
Beautiful though. Good sign of things to come.
Anyone else get "Invalid Request" after trying to sign in? It looks like a site error rather than a browser one. I get the same message from multiple browsers.

i got that from the main page, but then i clicked on an app to dl and it sent me to an actual login page. i didn't login cause i didn't actually want to dl the app, i was just checking, so it might work that way.
This is nice!
good find had no trouble signing in.
Very exciting!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Tried again. Working now. Might have been the traffic / popularity of the site.
Not sure if you guys watched the honeycomb announcement, but it was amazing. Made me want a tablet, and donkey punch an ipad user.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is exciting about web access to the market? Is it supposed to be better than our regular market app?
The Hotness! Logged in. See all of my apps. Can download apps from the website will sync immediately into your phone!
Way to step up android!!
You can browse on your computer, then install the apps OTA, so to speak. Easier to link to apps you like, install them without taking the phone out of your pocket, for example, that kind of stuff. It's just more convenient in some situations.
Well, I just thought of something.... does it work with custom ROM's? I just downloaded something on the net, and it hasn't really downloaded on Bionix V. Maybe I should go on over to the Bionix V thread and ask.
Unfortunately, it is so pointless right now because it can't function correctly over wifi only* connection. It just lists it in my market place under "My Downloads" and not actually installing the application.
I am using wifi only, because 3g is cut off in my office building.
*NOT on wifi but WIFI ONLY

Well I'm pretty sure all developers keep the fingerprint as the old eclair build for proper regular market access. Obviously I have no idea if this website would react differently. Who's to say it's not just as problematic on stock builds though? It is a brand new site after all.
Edit: Well I tried it out for the fun of it. It shows the download trying to take place on my phone, but the progress bar does nothing. Then again, I get this fairly often with the regular market too.

Code to enter into dialer to get FroYo faster?

I saw this posted somewhere a while ago but can now no longer find it.
There was a # XXX XXXX XXX number or something that had your phone query or get added to the google servers queue so that it could possibly get an update sooner.
Tried searching around but I'm likely not typing in the correct terms.
*** I think the code I saw was for the Epic but could have been for the EVO I suppose since I had that for a while, sorry if that's the case ***
well found it, but...

me neither..i think an update needs to be available to get it...if i dont get an ota tomorrow ill try it again
going by the way these updates are frying sd cards and internal memory on other phones...i'd be wary to be frst one to try.
Has anyone ever tried the check-in dialer code (*#*#2432546#*#* or *#*#CHECKIN#*#*) on an Epic? I'm not seeing any results whatsoever, it's like I've typed in an unrecognized / incomplete number-- which I suspect is exactly the case.
And for anyone who's ever had success with it, Epic or not, does it give any indication or confirmation when there's not an update available? In other words, are my results to be expected when an update is unavailable, but once an update is available it will acknowledge the code and indicate as such?
I thought this was a GSM only code, then an HTC only...but I think I'm wrong on both...

I understand it isn't going to magically make an update for me thanks. But as seen on that page there is usual visual feedback indicating a successful checkin.
Either way I did not see anyone successfully do it with an Epic, so maybe it's just an htc thing or something else.
well, I just did a ##RTN# (on stock, unrooted, unmolested eclair) then entered my MSL.. waiting for full reset here to check for the update..
I'll report back once it's finished.
EDIT: ok, it finished. no update for me yet.

[Q] Has anyone tried updating their HD2?

A WP7 updating is rolling out today and I just noticed my phone is alerting me of the update. Has anyone tried following through with the update?
Yes - Came back with an error
Registry is incorrect on the phone.
My HD2/7 is activated - not sure what registry changes have been made!
yes , don´t install
Update
I was't even expecting it to update but I was hoping for it to create a backup
Yeah same here it said cannot update due to registry settings.

i'm pretty sure your on a hd2...not hd7
so yeaa, now you should be sure why...
There must still be a reg entry that identifies the phone as a HD2. When my phone rebooted during the update, my PC found new hardware and the pop up said "LEO"
I am Using HD2 with WP7..the update came back with an error and the installation failed.
Trying to update isn't going to work.
Sent from my HD2 using Tapatalk
I really hope that someone get on top of this update pretty soon so that we can all enjoy the update on our HD2, tadaaaaa........
My phone just rebooted itself and now it won't boot up at all. Shows the HTC screen and vibrates then turns off. I wonder if this has anything to do with the failed update
i keep getting registry error.. guess MS will only tolerate so much
but my hd2 still boots and runs fabulously...no complaints...best os out there
Hopefully my problem is unrelated to the failed update. I can't believe people are still trying it. It WON'T work! Don't even bother.
so... has anyone succeed updating his hd2??

There is nothing in this 'update' which should excite us.
This first update for Windows Phone is designed to improve the software update process itself. It’s only paving the way for all future goodie-filled updates to your phone, such as copy and paste or improved Marketplace search.
P.S. to those who have reported problems with the phone after the update I can only say that is most likely NOT related to it. I have no problems with using my phone after that, both Marketplace and Xbox live are working just as fine as before.

If everyone tries, people who've made changes to their registry and perhaps made changes the rest of us may not have made, who knows, it might work. Yeah it's a long shot but...you don't know what's possible 'til you try.

[Q] Netflix on Acer Iconia Tab A500

Hello all, I am new here so I'm sorry if I am ignorent of anything
I have an Iconia tab, and have been patiently for the netflix app to be released. Well it finally seems like it has been done here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
My problem is when I download the apk and try to open it I get the error ''cannot open file''.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Download the apk with Firefox mobile or your desktop PC instead of the default browser. AFAIK, streaming still doesn't work for us, just queue management.
Its not working on the acer yet.
Edit: ninja'd
I think I read somewhere it's a Honeycomb issue, not just an Acer issue.
the device check disabled apk asks you to upgrade to the latest version on the market (which doesn't exist on our device), and the non-check disabled version will let you browse, but if you try to play a video it pops an error saying the device is not supported.
Hopefully we'll get something that works in the near future. Netflix claims to be working on other devices and it looked like tablets were on the list as well.
Thanks everyone for your answers. Any chance we can keep this thread going as an update to everyone wondering when netflix will be brought over so users do not have to scour the web in search of the answer?
Just a bit of a noob question, but what about changing your build.prop?
If I understand correctly, that requires root, and I do not want do downgrade to gingerbread.
Yup..

I have my acer rooted, but not well enough it seems. I still run honeycomb, and in fact still get firmware updates from acer. I rooted it so I can setup my two 1tb external hard drives to it lol. just used gingerbreak and a couple other things post root. However, i did try and edit the build.prop but wont allow me to save, just read only. I havent messed with it extensively, but seems like there should be a way.

If you use root explorer it will let you mount the file system read-write so you can edit the file.
Alright guys I am not sure if it has been tested but when I get home. I have the lib files that fixed the playback issue on sense 3.0 I will install the deactive device check version and push the lib Files It may actually work!! I just tested on another device that had playback issues worked flawlessly!! Ill let you guys know in like 2 hours or so when I get home.
Right on!
Crsdr37 - sounds promising! Let us know how it goes - since Netflix is totally dragging on getting their software working. My girlfriend's mother uses a HTC Evo 4 from Sprint - netflix support has been broken for weeks for them, and the OTA patch they tried to push out did not work. Total fustercluck

Alright guys so after dismantling netflix.apk the latest version the issue is within one of the files called nrdp.js Think of it as the gate keeper to our netflix enjoyment. It checks certain areas of the device here is the list we need to bypass to get the rsa key injected into our devices for access to the netflix servers.
1.Get Model
2.Get Software Version
3.Get Certification Version
4.Get ESN
5.Get ESN Prefix
Those are all the functions it calls for device checking. That I could find. There is also a certificate file ca.pem that controls how long the app works for before you have to get new certificate that is encrypted up the ass so big roadblock..... Sorry I tried and will continue to try but it does not look good... Damn those large companies with their big sticks.

I wonder if a build prop for 1.3 would work?
Xoom users seem to be having great sucess

S8/S8+ Oreo Beta is live!!!

There's 10,000 slots available instead of the Sammobile reported 7500 slots available. Once you click a few agreements, you get in automatically but then nothing happens. You have to force the update by going into Settings\Software update. The update happens normally then. The settings menu has changed quite a bit, Oreo is MUCH snappier (especially reboots), and some icons have changed. The warning in the last screenshot comes up automatically about 20 seconds after each reboot. Good luck getting in!!! :highfive:
I'm in feelsgood.jpg
Can someone post the OTA? OR Odin flashable files if there is any way to get them?

The OTA downloads to the /cache folder which non-rooted users don't have access to. I wasn't rooted and I don't think you can be in order to join the Beta. Trust me, Sammobile would have posted it already if this was possible.

You have to be either a T-Mobile or Sprint customer or have the unlocked model. It won't appear for anyone else. It will ONLY show up in the Samsung+ app. If you don't see it on the main screen, use the 3 dot menu on the left to see if it shows up there like the screenshot I posted.
I would love to get my hands on the radio and at least flash the modem. Would that work?

Sure, you could flash the modem if anyone could get the OTA but I'm pretty sure it'd be quite difficult. Since we're not rooted, you'd literally have to catch the OTA transmitting over your WiFi network onto your PC and then extract it. Which reminds me....
@bogdi1988 - Perhaps it's not showing up for you because you're not connected to a WiFi network. Make sure you're logged in to your Samsung account in Galaxy Apps and that all your Samsung Apps are up to date (the only way they update is when on WiFi.) Then check the Samsung+ app to see if it shows up for you. Hope this helps.

I updated hours ago and have rebooted several times since updating. I don't think I'd have a chance of finding the file name at this point. It would've been best to start a logcat right before initializing the OTA.

Samsung account signed in. All apps are updated. Tried wireless and cell signal and no prompt. Reinstalled the app a few times. Still nothing.

The OTA downloads to the /cache folder which non-rooted users don't have access to. I wasn't rooted and I don't think you can be in order to join the Beta. Trust me, Sammobile would have posted it already if this was possible.
You have to be either a T-Mobile or Sprint customer or have the unlocked model. It won't appear for anyone else. It will ONLY show up in the Samsung+ app. If you don't see it on the main screen, use the 3 dot menu on the left to see if it shows up there like the screenshot I posted.

My "upgrade" did not go well. Turns out that package disabler pro is not playing nice with this update. I kept getting Android system has stopped and couldn't even load the main home screen. I gave up finally and hard reset and resintalled all my apps. I also had a pretty bad problem with the battery draining faster than it was charging on a wall plug. Factory reset was a pain to reinstall everything (still ongoing as I need apps, I reinstall them) but the battery issue has disappeared. Can't tell if WiFi is any better. Opinions on this release would be most welcome.

You're complaining about a third party app that disables stock apps that is NOT updated to support Oreo yet not playing nice with a Beta build??? Absurd. I'm quite sure the upgrade went as smoothly for everyone else as it did me.
As for my feedback, I haven't noticed a single hiccup with the build. It doesn't feel like a Beta. It seems like it could've been a final/official build.
Samsung+ never showed the update to me. Oh well. :crying:
Yes, I'm on T-Mobile S8+ in US.

It's not about "showing" it to you. They're pushing it to almost everyone. I spoke with 3 other guys who signed up and registered through the Samsung app and it pushed it on the next update.

So you see, I don't think my Samsung account is registered to their Beta program. I have never seen links to do so.
I guess as a small consolation, Samsung/TMo pushed a Nougat update out: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955U/TMB/download/G955USQU1AQJ8/193749/

LOL, that wasn't a "complaint" that was an observation. As noted by the no complaint and an observation comment. As far as not noticing it's a beta, would that be between the 15 or so times per minute that the software pops up a warning that this is beta software and may not work as well as expected and may cause problems? That not obvious it's a beta message? Also, the bad battery drain was an issue. That shouldn't happen no matter what.
