hey guys, i have the G2 Touch running firmware build 2.73.111.26 CL#69351 on T-Mobile Germany.
today, i got the message that a firmware update is available, that mainly affects the youtube player. it was 3,6 MB large.
i clicked on "download" and afterwards on "install now" and then my phone rebooted. after reboot, first i saw the T-Mobile boot screen, then it booted into recovery mode.
in the beginning, there was a status bar moving (but with no status, just some movement, if you know what i mean) and then the status bar vanished. as it stayed like this without any change for about 10 minutes, i removed the battery and inserted it again, then i booted the phone like always.
but now i don't have the update and can't download it again. is there any way to get that update again?
thanks in advance for your help.
ok, i did a full factory reset to get the update again, that worked very good.
i got the update notification again, and tried installing it again.
download works, after clicking on "install now" the phone reboots and starts in recovery mode.
there is the status bar, and it is working until it is about half filled.
then the icon changes, i suddenly have an explanation mark on the screen, the status bar has vanished.
then nothing happens.
why doesn't it work? what can I do?
try pressing back or menu?
no key works.
for some reason, since the first factory reset, my pc's adb doesn't recognize the phone any more, so i can't see the url of the update. but the update window shows the filename, it is "OTA_Hero_T-Mobile_DE_2.73.111.91-2.73.111.26_R_release5pon5e4vkwhssvb1.zip" if that is helpful for somebody^^
also i called T-Mobile support a few minutes ago, and they said there was no update at all since the 2.73.111.26 that was published in november.
any idea, anybody?
and for the record, the following link works to get the update:
http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Hero_T-Mobile_DE_2.73.111.91-2.73.111.26_R_release5pon5e4vkwhssvb1.zip
can anybody help?
Most likely an update to the Youtube player that allows High Quality streams. All the newer builds (3.XXXXXXXX) have this new version, if you can live without, than it's nothing major.
I experienced the same: OTA Update announcement - something about "YouTube Player" blah - after installation, my hero was frozen.
Back & Menu brought me into the maintenance menu: Reboot without upgrade-activation brought back my old hero. No changes done.
Very quick (~1h later) "first level e-mail support" from t-mobile: No OTA-updates possible on G2 Touch (...harhar), pointed me to website with old firmware update.
I asked them to contact second level technical support - as it was definetly an OTA firmware-update and I already have installed the older firmware-update: Answer pending, since yesterday afternoon.
I hope, this was no hacker-intrusion attempt. T-Mobile not being informaed about an OTA firmware-update by whoever, does not really fill me with confidence. Would be a nice little hack, if some illformed hacker found out a way to pretend an firmware update OTA and used the willingness of all hero owners to take even a small step towards Android 2.1 wonderland...
.g.
No, it's really no hacking attempt. The update is on HTC servers, that's why T-Mobile support doesn't know it. Will contact HTC support today.
ok, I just called HTC.
the guy who could hardly speak german but tried very much told me, that they knew of the problem, as I am not the only one with it.
he recommended to perform a full factory reset, then try again.
as I told him that I already had done this several times, he told me I had to send the phone in via T-Mobile, so they can fix this.
considering the fact that this is a very minor update and that I need my phone, I now decided to wait some more weeks till the 2.1 update will (hopefully) arrive.
maybe the 2.1 update will work, if not I still can send it in. also, the update may be available to install via usb from PC, so it might work better.
so it's waiting for 2.1 again
Hi,
In the Netherlands we got this update too. It fixes youtube and enables the phone to get Android 2.1 OTA, which will be available in a week or two.
The original HTC Hero firmware checks for updates every two weeks. Maybe the next trick will be helping you to force download the update (it worked for me to force the update):
Set the device's date a year in the future (for example 15 june 2011). Go back to home screen and probably the update wil appear in your screen.
Let us know if it worked for you..
It worked for me. As soon as I changed the date I received the update.
Thanks for the solution.
Is it just me thats wondering why.. if they are going to release a 2.1 update soon... are they packaging in an update for youtube in this ota?

I guess more people where complaining about the broken Youtube player than about the 2.1 update (at least it was more visible for our customers). Having this fixed and declared on the support site makes life easier for customer support...it is stupid I know, but the average user is that dump.

Sure.. but how many months to wait now.. otherwise why update youtube at all?
Rumours are saying that it's coming the 18th and I think that pretty believable because we have got that update today...
And I don't know anything about youtube update ^^ maybe they wanted to give us something instead of an empty update ^^
Yeah, it makes perfect sense.
There was no "System updates ..." item in the phone status, before this update. I don't see why HTC would update the FOTA client if they didn't actually plan on sending us the 2.1 update soon. Probably takes a few days though.
Be patient
Hi,
I did the clock tip and got immediatly the update message. Download and installation went fine. Rebooting took about 10 minutes, so be patient and let the update do its work.

Hi, I have one question.
If I have the permanent root from churli (I'm sorry if I miss-spelled it..), do I just updated it regularly? I used to update all the firmwares by just downloading the firmware right on my A70 and install it right away.. but will that work if I have the root? I just rooted my A70 yesterday...and I'm a newbie haha

I just followed Steps 2, 3, 4 of Chulri's post. Chulri already has the new files for "fw 2.3.26 +rw" for Step 3. I like the optional Step 4 because I don't have to worry about holding down the volume button everytime I boot to get root.
Hi,
Has somebody tested this new release?
I updated to version 3.2.20 last week and I was very happy when I realized that cinema plugin was not required to play all the formats which I was not able to before the update (AAC, AC3, MPEG2, etc)
Can somebody confirm if this has not been "fixed"?
Thank you.
Well I have tried this new release and all I can say is bootloop, oh and to top it off I think that my right speaker has blown.
Archos I hope you're reading this, you need to sort your firmware releases out. Whilst you're at it Gingerbread would be nice. If you can put it on the Arnova with inferior hardware you have no excuse but to port it to the 101.

I just noticed the update when I went to the archosfans 2.3.20 bugs thread to report wifi drop powersave disabled while running tunein radio...
OTA update went fine, just waiting for A43 to charge up, then I'm going to do the A32 as well...
[EDIT]
Power LED blinking -> UI batt meter (and About Device) say 98% charge...
had this once with 2.3.20 showing 97% when LED blinking but next charge and thereafter showed 100% when LED blinking...
[/EDIT]
I had this Problem from the first day.
LED blinks and the battery show around 90%.
If i unplug the power the status goes to 98-100%, most 100%.
If i reboot the device with plugged power, the status is 75-90% after restart.
Sometimes the status falls to 87-91% if i plugged the power in.
I can live with it, but it is annoying.
did they remove bluetooth PAN tether ? I had dun/pan option while setting up BT tether with 2.3.20. but now no more that option. the probken for me is, i am using cdma phone(bell htc touch) but with BT DUN the Archos cannot dial CDMA number #777. I set bell APN (pda.bell.ca) it's not working. Actully even if it works I worry about it because it may charge me more.
Before with 2.3.20 , it worked perfect with BT PAN and my phone set to Internet sharing.
This update cleared up my waking-up issue.
It's pretty much an instant on now after the monitor idles off. Before, (after being off for more than a few minutes) it was a crap-shoot as to whether or not the screen would come on and I often had to fight with it and double, triple, quadruple tap the power button to get things alive. No longer.
still reboot cycles problems when charging the 101..problem started with these last 2 updates.
twit.tv app FCs all of the time with this fw...
I wonder why they released this one OTA as it seems to be more broken than .20 was...
youtube and many other flash video played in the browser hangs after about 15 seconds or so. Soemtime this causes the whole system to freeze requiring forced reboot.
This is the worse build so far, my A70 was most stable at 2.1.08.
Wow. I am having the exact opposite experience with this firmware. I find the browser and flash to be very solid. Before I could never play even youtube mobile in HD without it freezing and forcing a hard reboot.
Also, i'm having less general freezes.
I am still having absolutely no luck whatsoever with tethering to my Android phone (cliq). It's driving me crazy cause this was one of the main reasons I went with Archos.
Have you guys done a full reinitialization? That's what I did and, even though it's a pain to reload all your files, it might help with many of the problems you are having.

As a matter of fact I did an Android reset to get away from some of the problems I was having with bootloops and such. This has helped with the general performance of the 101, which I'd say is down to the 64mb swap file I now enjoy.
I did have a couple bootloops until I enabled a lock screen pattern unlock and I have now experienced nothing but fairly good performance
It seems that 2.3.26 is different from vesions before

You'd probably be better off posting in the archosfans.com forum's bug list thread for 2.3.26 as Archos employees actually monitor that site and have actually even started some of the buglist/fw release threads... i.e. I'm not sure that they're even aware of the xda-devs gen8 section and even if they were would they bother to read it...
I just wonder, since about 2-3 day's i read about the 4.10.xx to 4.10.30 update, especially 4.10.22 to 4.10.30, it could be any version from 4.10.07 to 4.10.22 to 4.10.30. Obviously if the initial number is smaller the file is bigger. For instance 4.10.07 tp 4.10.30 is 49MB, 4.10.09 to 4.10.30 is 44MB, 4.10.22 to 4.10.30 is 40MB. Still i think 4.10.22 to 4.10.30 would do the job, since everybody can update to 4.10.22.
isn't there anybody who is kind enough to fetch the link, download it and upload it to megaupload, as already explained in other posts.
there is still lot's of countries where this update is not available, and it would be nice to have it.
i know it fixes at least 2 bug's features:
1 sound off once in sleep mode
2 faster navigating internet, possibly due to better implementation of the tegra drivers.
by the way TEGRAZONE is up and aviable now with new HD games, some of them are free, so would be nice if rom makers are not removing this anymore.
I found the 4.010.30 update in the following site
http://bbs.sdapk.com/thread-30641-1-1.html
Here is the download link http://acer-a500.googlecode.com/files/update.zip
I downloaded and flashed. Everything is fine up to now.

Tegrazone has been up and available for ages, and hasn't been updated in ages either.
tks a lot, installed and working using natif acer update on external sd card.
obviously the navigation is faster and better then what I had before. I will check on the sound pb also later on.
it truly shows 4.10.30, great.
reactivated SU and reinstalled CWM, and everything works fine.
Well concerning TEGRAZONE, I had nothing in there 2 weeks ago, never mind, still there a free games in there which allows to check the HD capabilities of the machine.
Wrong tread sorry.
I don't know guys....
I checked the file from that link provided in post #2 and when extracted, it's dated "02/09/2011"
February ?? ... I doubted this build existed in February.
I'll hold off on this one for a bit and wait for the OTA
I just got an update from .30 to .38
Anybody else got it please share.
This is the update to 4.010.39. Flash in CWM.
I don't know what have been changed, flash at your own risk.

good old Acer and their UN-organized way of updates...etc
talk about creating mass confusions....sheeessh !!!
I would use caution, after I installed the .022 to .030, I started having problems getting apps from the market. I kept getting a completing transaction error
MK
everything was working wel with .30 release, until this morning no wifi connection. tried al solutions on xda nothing worked, did factory reset, and connected and got a update to.38. see how it goes.
Greetz Dennis
i got .22 to .30 from the links in this thread, and had no problems with it. have n't heard anything of the .38, i will have a look at it.
i will look at .39 know.
anyhow the sound pb is fixed and navigation is pretty fast now.

No kidding!
Updated to .39
I updated to the .39 downloaded from this thread. Used CWM. Previous version was .22. Not seeing any changes yet. I'm starting to think that these different versions really are nothing but regional variations.
ok updated to .39 seems to work, will check later or tomorrow for any changes.
it really says 4.10.39
WTH
And now I see somewhere that there's a .40 Wth, Acer. Arrrrgh.
Can I upgrade directly from 4.010.22 to this .39 or do I first go to .30 and afterwards from .30 to .39?
thanks, Marcher

Dennis,
This is a known issue with the upgrade to 3.1. I actually had the same thing and after it happened a second I chatted with 2nd level support at Acer. The resolution is to do 2 hardware resets in a row. While the tablet is on use a paperclip and push it into the hole under the full sized USB socket to reset the tablet, when the tablet completely restarts and you are back at the desktop press the reset button one more time.
When the tablet comes back up again you will have WiFi again. It's been 4 days since I did Acer's solution and no issues.
Can you people stop posting about this updates upon updates already. Some of us haven't even seen the first one yet.
Hello everyone
This is my first post here, and I need help with a rather bizarre issue that I am facing
I have a galaxy S4 i337m, it was rooted at ofw 4.3, then I decided to update, using kies, to 4.4.2, then after restart the wifi, and wifi hotspot doesn't turn on at all, I already did a backup using TWRP of the 4.3 state, but before I revert back, I was wondering if there is anything I can do to get rid of this affliction
Regards,
Nas Makkiya
Maybe you should restore, i want to update with kies too but now i read this.

That is what I am trying to avoid doing here, see I still have to 4.3 backup image, I can just revert to it, but I don't want to do a restore since I will lose all the app settings that are stored in the Data, System, etc Folders
Anything I can do to reset WiFi settings?

It's seems that way, but do you have any idea what's causing it?
Same issue here
Hello all. After upgrading to 4.4.2 (OTA) wi-fi worked for a couple of weeks and then went kaput. It will work momentarily after a restore and then won't turn on again. Kies can only restore to 4.3 at the moment and I like 4.4, any other solutions? I also tried the tar.md5 image from another thread and this keeps on keeping on
Possibly related, sometimes the phone will not wake, I'll let it alone for 30 sec and it will respond again. Wake issues?
Anyone around XDA have any suggestions as to what the issue is or a possible fix? Might it be a modem issue? Could the wake from sleep issues be related to waking wifi and bluetooth? Heeeelp!!
This might or might not be relevent to the issues in this thread:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...-here-is-what-you-should-expect-to-see-fixed/
According to that article, when 4.4.3 is released it will address known issues:
"What's New?
With the introduction out of the way, let's take a look at the list of fixes, prioritized by me in order of importance. The list may not be complete, but this is what we've been told so far:
frequent data connection dropout fix
mm-qcamera-daemon crash and optimization fixes
camera focus in regular and HDR modes fixes
Power Manager display wakelock fix
multiple Bluetooth fixes
fix for a random reboot
app shortcuts sometimes got removed from launcher after update
USB debugging security fix
app shortcuts security fix
Wi-Fi auto-connect fix
other camera fixes
MMS, Email/Exchange, Calendar, People/Dialer/Contacts, DSP, IPv6, VPN fixes
stuck in activation screen fix
missed call LED fix
subtitle fixes
data usage graph fix
Internet telephony fix
FCC compliance fix
miscellaneous fixes"
Of course AT&T will take their time to customize the update as they see fit so it may or may not include all, less, or more. AND NOBODY KNOWS WHEN AT&T WILL RELEASE 4.4.3...SO DON"T ASK.
Hopefully, it will help to fix some of the issues people on 4.4.2 are experiencing.
Solved

Wow, thank you sir! Looks like 4.4.3 is going to fix what 4.4.2 broke. :good:
Just got updated to N950USQU1AQIA, looks like the August Security patch. Any word on what else might be in this rollout?
I got it at as well. I didn't see a changelog but it was larger then the other carrier updates I believe it was over 200mb.
Just updated too. Don't know the details though...
Just updated as well.
Noticed my device status went from Official to Custom and then back to Official. WTH?
Probably pretty much what T-Mobile got in their update. Stability improvements and all that.
Mine was already on August security patch before I took the update so definitely wasn't that. It just said performance improvements from what I could see
I noticed I can now log in to best buy without the browser crashing so that's an improvement. I can now delete their crappy app lol!
Got the update, any of you use bxactions to remap the button? Does it still work?

I just got it on my AT&T Note 8
All I've been able to locate on this update is that there were some improvements to the camera software, wireless charging optimizations, and possibly a fix for the BlueBorne vulnerability. I'm not able to find a full changelog at all.
I think this is to fix Samsung Pay error "Failed to connect to server. Try again later".
I just got the update too (220.93 MB). I already had the August security patch/update.
As soon as I got this update I was also able to now update Bixby to latest version that allows you to disable to Bixby Home on short press. Before this update Bixby would say I was running the latest version but the new option was not there, and settings menu was old format, now it matches what's on this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/71bj0s/you_can_now_disable_bixby_button_presstohome/
Same here just noticed the bixby update
I noticed that I put my Note 8 on the wireless charger and it started updating Bixby. Shortly after all the Bixby updates, I checked for a system update and there was one, but I had to wait for my battery to charge a little. So, I don't know if the ability to use the new Bixby was really contingent on me getting the update or not. I did check and after the update, I am not vulnerable to the blueborne hack. I don't know if I was vulnerable before, but I can say I am not since I checked after the update.

This is what I wanted the most and now running Armis BlueBorne scanner, it is showing the device is safe, which is wasn't previously.
Definitely good news as I use a smart watch and BT headphones.
