Hello!
I've done a major revamp of the list of stock update pkgs on the xda wiki: here.
And I'm looking for help to fill in all the blanks.
If anyone could help out with any of the following I'd be really grateful.
Things I'm missing:
Copies of update pkgs: 101, 107, 115, 118, 201, 202, 204, 305, 308, 333, or their hashes
Copies of all decrypted pkgs, or their hashes
Info on baseband versions.
Any other fimeware versions not listed above or on the wiki page
(Check the link for what the numbers mean)
Quick tip: The dell firmware pkgs are actually standard update.zips like what you can flash with streakmod/clockworkmod, but they're encrypted. During the normal OTA install process the matching recovery decrypts the matching pkg and leaves a copy on your sd card.
NOTE: I dont know what happens if you try and flash a decrypted pkg directly, dont blame me if you brick your phone with this advice.
Could someone in charge tell me where I could upload all the pkgs to a single location? (If you dont want all these images floating around, I'll just request for the hashes and not the files themselves)
Greetings all,
I am currently running build 1.016.04_COM_GEN1, and the OTA upgrade to 1.139.04 is failing- exclamation in triangle after reboot. It does successfully return to Honeycomb afterwards. So I did some reading (thank you all for so much useful info in various threads) and found that I had stuffed it up by deleting HeroOfSparta.apk after rooting it (I guess I should have read the post about deleting things a bit better), without taking a backup.
After finding the log file /cache/recovery/last_log, it tells me:
Installing update...
Verifying current system...

So I'm putting in a request for this file please- either by itself or as part of an image, if there is one. I did a pretty thorough look through the posts and couldn't find any links to a backup of this image or file. If it helps, all of the other files in the /system/app directory have a date of 18 Mar 11.
And with it I'd like to salute all of you who are gradually helping me make this the most awesomely indispensable tool I've ever had!
here u go

EDIT: Not sure if we are supposed to post 'em but... here is your file... extract from the 7z... jejeje

Since this file is needed to correct update I think YES we can post this kind of files in this forum.
Should be fine as hero of sparta was the trial version.
Lets golf and shift on the other hand are the full versions

Many thanks... this did get past the error and (unfortunately) onto the next. It's now asking for NFS.apk:

Is this one I can request in the same way? I don't want to break the rules but am unsure about the status of the file.
/app FOLDER
I will be uploading the /system/app folder for those of you that are in need of those APK's...
This will be through MEGAUPLOAD as that is the account that I have for uploads. I will post a link for it today since I have received many requests for multiple files on this... I dont think that it will be against rules as I will not be hosting files here and these are meant to be used as "RECOVERY ONLY" information...
Anyway, as stated, when I get home from work I will begin the upload and post the link once it has completed. jejeje
If anyone believes this is AGAINST FORUM RULES please let me know before this so that I dont get myself in trouble...
Hope this will help everyone! jejeje

Doesn't it need execute permissions? Not sure how Android is as opposed to Linux, but rwxr-xr-x would make more sense if you intend to run it?

Thanks For This
I couldnt get my system to update because the build prop was not the right cheksum. I found links to the default system and got a dump. If you are getting checksum errors on files. try to replace with these. For those how need it.
So this is a sys dump so far that I was able to get.

Where are you located? US. If in US. can you dump the boot.img and flexrom.img if you havent already updated.
could you please dump your .img's I could really use the
Boot.img
Flexrom.img
System.img
You have the same firmware I have so I can get back to true stock. It will help a lot of other people out as well. If your unsure how I can give you the commands to dump each individual image to your SD card.
Could somebody post the stock gps.conf from OTA3?
I am had a signature verification error and the update would not proceed. However, I modified the update script to skip the gps.conf file.
ICS installed fine, but my GPS file is still incorrect. Could somebody upload their gps.conf from their OTA3 install?
Could somebody upload gps.conf from ICS for the US please?
Hi Guys today I'm going to show u how to add OTA updates for your rom.
So what is it basically???
Everyone knows it lol
So lets start with the business.
1)First of all get the latest apk from here
https://www.otaupdatecenter.pro/
2)Put this app in your rom's /system/app
3)Pick a ROM ID that you will use in our database(No spaces)
4)Add the following properties to your build.prop:
otaupdater.otaid=<ROM ID you picked from previous step>
otaupdater.otatime=<Date/time of this build in yyyymmdd-hhmm format>
otaupdater.otaver=< version number/name>
5)Package your ROM, generate an MD5 of the zip file, and upload it on any file sharing site
6)Then make your account and add your rom (update) on the site (OTA)
7)You will need the ROM ID you picked, the device you packaged for, and the URL and MD5 of the zip file.
8)For any further updates, just make sure you update the "otatime" and "otaver" properties in build.prop
Hope this HELPS!
Wanna hit THANKS!!,
Then there's A button for that
How do you generate a md5 of the rom?
Nice guide, i understand everything excepting that step.
Isn't this taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803562
