Netflix DOES work on 3 . 2 (No, I'm not kidding) - Eee Pad Transformer General

Since I can't post links yet, please bear with me....
I followed the instructions in the DEV thread titled: CWM Rooted Update to STOCK 8.6.5.6 from STOCK 8.4.4.11 US only
My TF is stock (8.4.4.11), rooted, and I had just installed CWM using the Pure root v4 thread.
Downloaded the 3.2_root file, copied it to my mSD card, then rebooted into CWM Recovery. Upon install, it threw an error about being unable to patch libnvomx, which I remembered I had overwritten for the Netflix hack. I rebooted, copied back the original file, then re-ran the 3.2_Root file, and Voila!
I then copied back the hacked libnvomx file, rebooted, and Netflix works great.
About tablet page shows:
Android version: 3.2
GPS Version: 1.5.0
Wi-Fi version: V5.2.52
Bluetooth version: V6.19
Kernel version: 2.6.36.3 android (at) Mercury #1
Build Number: HTJ85B.US_epad-8.6.5.6-20110726
So, assuming the patched file did what it says, it seems to be working. I am now getting what I think is a newer update message than before. The notification bar tells me: Asus System Firmware Update Service: New system firmware update available, press to upgrade.
Guess I'll have to kill that service???

Okay, how about non rooted?
It worked on 3.1 rooted too. Whats the big deal?

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...
I thought people were saying Netflix wasn't working at all (rooted or non-rooted) on 3.2?
Or is the way I did the update the only way to maintain root and get 3.2?

People were expecting netflix capabilities without root

Android Update 1.5?

I am running a JF build
2.6.27-00392-g8312baf
[email protected] #2
Build number
CRB43
I got an system update popup this morning, and after pressing more info I get,
"Please install this update from Google. It contains a security fix."
It is 884 kB in size so not much there.
Where can I find the file on the phone to grab and toss up here?
Its not in the SD root like I thought.
-Nik
If you installed it you probably don't have root anymore...Do you still have root and did you install it? Also when you go to settings>about. Does it say CRC1 somewhere?
I was very suspicious about it, since the JF builds are using the public keys. SO no I have not installed it yet.
-Nik
Suggest you don't until people find out what it actually does.
I don't plan on it, where can I find the URL.
Also is there a way to diable the update popup's?
As I recall it was in some log file somewhere. I'll post it when I find it.
-Nik
how did you even get an ota update? ur running a jf build which means ur phone is rooted. rooted phones shouldnt be able to get ota's. or am i wrong here.

You are correct
That is weird that you got some update, OTA. Are you 100% sure you were successfully on JF's build with root?
This is really strange...
I too got the update notification today. Clicking the "more info" button shows:
Android Update 1.5
Downloaded and verified
2.0MB
Yet I have a rooted JF build. Kernel version 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf
Build number CRB43...
It's JF's UK build and I have full root access..
I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be possible for the official Google update here to be verified, unless Google have used the JF private key to sign it. But that's not possible, right? I mean, are they trying to push this to people's phones to remove root access? Is the private key that's used to sign all these releases, generally available?
Maybe it's an oddity caused by something I've done. Eg I was using the Haykuro build before. I then moved to using the JF Updater to install his latest UK version...
I obviously haven't installed this official Google version yet, in case it removes root access!

This gets more interesting as it goes.
I just took a look over at T-Mobile's Forums and found this:
http://forums.t-mobile.com/tmbl/board/message?board.id=AndroidDev&thread.id=6975
It seems that they renamed CRB43 to CRC1.
"The latest G1 software update includes permissions fixes and other bug fixes"
I assume it will be taking away root, but I find it VERY interesting that they managed to get this to the rooted phones.
I'm looking more into this, and I just emailed a T-Mo rep/friend I know. I'll keep you posted on what she says.
Same thing
I am getting prompted this morning for a System update, however I have a rooted JF 1.51, CRB43, 1.5 already. It keeps popping up, very annoying, I'm afraid to turn my phone off.
It seems this is what its all about http://www.ocert.org/advisories/ocert-2009-011.html
-Nik
So, has anyone installed this and if you have do you still have root?

Yep, its rooted. I have had it rooted since the day I got it

they are putting this out hard. I do not have root just a stock cupcake g1. And I have gotten this 6 times today after saying install later
I have an adp...and I lost root access with this update! I just flashed harry_m's kernel and it was all better!
Hmm I wonder if TMobile can query the phone and ask it its firmware rev...

Wow, I don't blame them at all for pushing this so hard, this patches the OS so that one-time program permission grants at installation does not leave you vulnerable to what's basically spying on a user's mic/camera at a later time. Unless I'm reading it wrong...
http://jf.andblogs.net/ look here for your answer as to why your getting the updates
If I'm not mistaken the update is geared towards Dev. phones because I read somewhere that the security update and other small stuff was for App. Developers so if your running a ADP version that is probably why your getting the OTA, I could be wrong though, can someone running a U.S. version or other that is not ADP comfirm this.
I could be very wrong but I don't think its a T-mobile thing. I just got my g1 yesterday, unlocked. I'm on ATT and kept getting it so I let it update. I haven't rooted yet and hadn't had the phone for more than a couple hours but didn't notice anything different. Hope i just didn't make it harder for me to root the phone.

[Q] Need help with OTA aftter Neflix Patch

After doing the Netflix patch I am unable to do a OTA update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16663461&postcount=60
The build number is now reading
HTJ85B.US_epad-8.6.5.6-20110726
When i do a check for update i get this message
Fota Download
build number error!!
HTJ85B.US_epad-8.6.5.6-20110726​
Please, any way to revert? Of course, being the noob that I am i did not make a backup of the files that were edited by the patch.
luckily when it updated to 3.1 I took a picture!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15399268&postcount=202
So given that I now know what build i had on here could I go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878\
and with this package
Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1 : http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=63
extract the Update.zip and potentially revert my iconia?
Thoughts before I go ahead and do it?
Oh great!
The .22 build is no longer there!
Found this though, but would prefer a verified file.

I believe all you need is an original build.prop from the correct build you were running. If you can find a download of .22, you can extract the build.prop (in /system folder) and swap it back.
Thanks!
I grew a pair and decided to try flashing a rom. I flashed the newest .38 (i think that was the update number) build of stock and we're all happy.
Sweet, I was just gonna say that if you did a nand backup revert back in recovery.
ya, sadly i did not to any backup, except my full backup i did before putting in the new roms.
silly newbness of me.
I had reverted to the .22 build that is available through clockwork, but it still would not allow me to do the update. it downlaoded but failed on install.
I saw what version it was updating to so i just installed that through CWM andthen reapplied the netflix patch. so i'm still sitting at that stupid Xoom version number until i decide to try the next update.
Sigh.
i just wish Netflix would recognize our tablet, #assesoffire.

Get Asus to stop sending me the wrong update?

I have been getting this update for my TF101 every few days or so. It downloads an update, then when I click on install update it reboots, starts loading the update and fails halfway through the intall giving me the sad android with the triangle exclamation point. I read on another thread that you have to clear the cache in DMClient, which I do every time this happens. But why does it continue to send me this stupid update? When I followed the previous thread I mentioned, I was able to see that the update was actually meant for the prime, not the TF101. Just wish they would stop sending me an update that makes me get my hopes up for ICS.
Anybody else having this happen?
Maybe you chosen by asus to be a lucky ICS beta tester.

That's probably the way to go, but I've had no luck thus far. I'm on stock Rom with Netformer 1.6 kernel. I tried doing this with OTA Rootkeeper. Unrooted, installed update, got same error. Then rebooted and re-rooted with the OTA Rootkeeper app. Does this mean I need to revert back to original kernel? Everything has been pretty good on Netformer, and it's definitely more snappy than stock.

Which stock ROM are you on? You might be getting the OTAs if you aren't running the latest (8.6.5.21?). The custom kernel probably installed a kernel module that is preventing the update from flashing.
Can you grab the OTA? I'm curious what they are sending you. It will be in /cache/dlpkgfile- you can copy that someplace and upload it. I think these should do it, but PM if you need help with terminal commands.
In terminal, type:
cp /cache/dlpkgfile /Removable/MicroSD/
OR with adb:
adb pull /cache/dlpkgfile
Here's the zip. Maybe you can tell me what this update really is. I guess my current stock Rom version is 8.6.5.19. Sounds like the kernel is preventing me from updating. The real question is, do I want to install any of these updates from Asus? Any disadvantage that you know of?
That file is the US 8.6.5.21 OTA. I lost track of the all the root methods, but I thought that Nachoroot was working with .21. I've never used OTA rootkeeper, so I can't comment on if that will work.
It's kinda odd how you are getting it now? There is a rooted version of the stock rom you can flash via CWM so that you don't have to unroot. It will have the stock kernel and you will keep whatever bootloader you have now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409584
EDIT: doaist has posted CWM friendly versions of the OTAs as well- there are much smaller files since they patch the existing rom. Look in the development forum- The OTA came out around Christmas, so it will be after that.
Thanks for the info. I'll flash the updated rom and see how it goes.

You're running an image that has different hash values than Asus original image has... that is why Asus validation does not work. Hence, you should revert back to the original image Asus provides.
This answer have been given ALOT of times in other threads already.
I rooted mine with nachoroot on the 21 update. It works fine.

I read somewhere on the forums, if you applied an update from asus one time, then you can't get the same again. just flash manual from download site.

[Q] help! no update from android 3.2

Can anyone help me please.
I bought a 2nd hand rooted a500.
successfully flashed to a near stock 3.2.1, but then decided that i wanted to return to stock in order to get OTA updates up to ICS. With a little help on here I managed to flash one of the stock 3.2 roms from vache.
system now
android version = 3.2
kernel version = 2.6.36.3+
build number = Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1
as was the aim, however I'm not recieving any OTA updates, system update claims tablet is up to date!
Has anyone experienced this too, or got any ideas where i'm going wrong

You didn't do anything wrong. Acer suspended the ICS updates for awhile. Looks like they may be regionally starting again.

Have you installed the incona tab update enhancement from the play store
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the reply, yes i had installed the update enhancement from play store.
I have now solved the problem so i thought i'd share what i found.
The problem I had:-
I was rooted, but wanted to go back to stock to try the stock OTA ICS. I flashed a stock 3.2 full package from vache's page. The one I went with was 7.006.01_com_gen1. Carried out successfully, however no updates available when doing the system update search. waited a week still nothing, even tried factory reset to clear everything out.
Solution:-
I got impatient so flashed the unstable 3.0.1 rom intending to root again.
before rooting i tried flashing other stock roms (no reason it shouldn't work i reasoned). Successfully flashed full package 4.010.38_com_gen1 (vache's page). tried OTA updates from there and it was successful!!
OTA'd to 7.006.01, then 7.014.01, then on to ICS
Conclusion:-
the difference appears to be the version of android 3.2, I can only assume that 7.006.03 isn't supported in the UK where as 7.006.01 is. If i'd flashed that one in the first place I assume the updates would have worked.
Hey, can you point me to the files and instructions on how to get this done? I rooted it to 7.006.05 long before using thor rom I believe. Not very familiar with the rooting game, but I'm still unable to get ICS update OTA.
FYI, Acer a500 8gb model US.

My understanding from reading around a few threads is that OTA tends not to work if you are rooted and/or running CWM. Not sure on process of un-rooting as i've not done it. But i'm guessing one solution would be flash a stock version of same rom, then do OTA updates.

If you rooted via CWM its really straight forward, I followed these instructions

just follow 2. and/or 3.
I want to keep root and go to ics. I know I need to install ics bootloader but have not found a solid thread yet, at least not one that I can flash. Anyone that can direct me to a proven method from 3.2 will be appreciated. I am rooted and gave custom recovery installed cwm.

Acer stock roms offline

Hi, I'm trying to revert to 100% stock (unrooted), but all the links for stock roms from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
seem to be offline (i.e. http://vache-android.com and http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com are both unavailable). Anyone know if there are mirrors for these files? Specifically, I'm looking for a 3.2.1 stock rom for the A501.
Thanks!

No one knows where to get an acer stock rom for A501? Sorry to bump - or have I posted in the wrong forum? I just need to return to stock (unrooted) to test something.

Well, Acer closed off all the files, so we no longer get to them.
Vache, had to get rid of his server for personal reasons, so those links are also no good. Eventually I suspect he'll get things in order and we'll get some of those links back.
Which rom are you looking for? ICS or HC? I have a few, some full HC roms, and some ICS patch updates.
Remember, a lot of people live in different times zones, and also have jobs and family, so sometimes it takes awhile to reply
MD
Thanks MD. I totally understand everyone's got other committments, I have both of those commitments too I'm looking for stock unrooted HC 3.2.1 ideally, but 3.2 is fine (I can then do OTA update to get to 3.2.1). I'm in Australia, so I think the rom I need is Acer_A501_4.066.29_COM_GEN1, but any COM_GEN1 for A501 would be appreciated.
BTW Currently I'm running your fantastic and stable 3.2.1 Alexandra III v1.1, thanks for you hard-work in putting that together.
Well I got my hands on a brand-new A501 from Acer, just unboxed. So I will now try to find out how to extract an image of the ROM before doing anything else. Any tips appreciated!
EDIT: Before anyone posts a http://lmgtfy.com/ link, I found it should be just a matter of using DD from the android sdk.
EDIT #2: Hmm looks like I need root access to use DD, can someone point me in the right direction for dumping a full image without having to root the tablet first? The tablet is currently running Android 3.2.1, kernel 2.6.36.3+ and build Acer_A501_4.066.31_COM_GEN1. Thanks.

Rooting the 3.2 is going to be a pain, and you will lose the current image. If I remember correctly, you have to "roll back" to an unstable 3.0.1 and use Iconiaroot.apk. Not what you want in this case,
The other option, was to use Timmy Deans 3.2 root kit, but then again, it installs a 3.2 EUU for an a500 on your tab. Again, not what you want.
You could try the newer "gingerbreak", although I myself would not go this way, only because I don't trust methods that aren't approved by us devs. But would use only as a last chance.
EDIT: Important note. Whatever you try, Get the current UID number before you do it. It's the only safeguard if things go bad. You can run USBDview (search the forums) to get it, or they have several other tools to get it.

Yep, would you believe I did that process on *13* different A501's last weekend in order to flash your Alexandra III rom, so I know that process well, and yep not an option anyway.

I agree this is a last chance since it would mean I'd need to reverse the changes done by that app to remove su and and superuser apk after dumping the image.

Let me know if you need them, and I'll upload them.

Acer_A501_0.000.00_4.510.01_COM_GEN1H confuses me a little since my 3.2.1 is on build Acer_A501_4.066.31_COM_GEN1, so the build number seems a bit weird. And so since it seems you need to root before you can dump :silly: that would be awesome if you could upload your 3.2 Acer_A501_4.027.15_COM_GEN1 ROM, then I'll just update it to 3.2.1 via OTA!

No problem. Will try to upload it tonight. If not, tomorrow. Be careful though. Dang thing just might want to OTA to ICS!
Sometimes, they name the update files strange.
It's uploaded;

Thank you
Hi,
I just happened to read this thread and already downloaded your official ROM. I am also using your 3.2.1 Alexandra III v1.1 and planning to revert it back to the official firmware. At first, I try flashing the SD_Acer_A501_1.309.02_COM_GEN1 ROM and succeeded. However, when I try to update, I always get the "your device is up to date" message. But now, I am planning to flash my A501 with your ROM and hopefully will be able to update my A501 normally. I want to say thank you for uploading this ROM.
I flashed the ROM MD uploaded, worked fine, thanks MD. However I also get 'Your device is up to date' when running 'System Update'. Currently the tablet is running Android 3.2, but 3.2.1 is definitely available, as that is what I have running on my other A501 I just recently unboxed. I'm guessing this is because http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com is offline, hence no acer tablet can be updated right now!?! I also tried vache's OTA Check tool but it also says no update available. I guess that's for the same reason.
For me, my problem is solved since I can live with 3.2 for now, however if anyone wants 3.2.1 stock ROM for A501, I happy to have a go at gingerbreak-ing my 3.2.1 stock tablet in order to dump an image.
Well, it seems http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com is back ONLINE :laugh: So many of those links on vache's post are working again. I'm interested if anyone has a way to construct the file name need for a particular package/update, e.g. what would be the file name for the full package for Acer_A501_4.066.31_COM_GEN1. It seems each file name a post-fix with some numbers and hash (e.g. http://cdn.a1.futuredial.com/Acer_A501_0.000.00_4.037.01_EMEA_TMPL_1316069683762_98ed1d97.zip). Has anyone tried to work out how that post-fix is generated? This would allow us to get any package easily...

Hi, could you please upload that 3.2.1 tmpl ROM? I've reverted recently to 3.2 TMPL and it does not want to update. I heard that there is already TMPL ics OTA available.
