[Q] Verizon G-Tab Update - Effect on rooted tab?

If I do the Verizon update will it "unroot" my Tab? Will it screw anything up?
Thanks.

I'm not sure, I'm rooted and when I clicked to install the update, my tab did nothing. I know that doesn't help.

Same thing happened to me, there is another thread about this and there is a post of the update file, I ran that and it worked

Hmmm. When I click those links I get a bunch gobblygoop on my screen.
EDIT: Just read it needs to be opened in IE. Weird.

Yeah, I found it weird too.
I never tried from the Tab though, might work from there I guess
Update:tried from tab with Dolphin....same result as Chrome

Ok, so now it's on the Tab. How do I make the update do it's thing?

name it update.zip....put it in root of SD, reboot to recovery and choose install update.zip
At least that is what I did and it worked perfectly......do it at your own risk though.

Dumb question: How do I boot to recovery?

Turn off....hold volume up while powering on
Volume down to install update.zip and press home. (after menu comes up)
Make sure you have decently full battery or on AC

Worked! Thanks!

Still can't copy/paste from the mail program.

Update
I zipped the file so it should be easier to dl. Try this link. If you are going to rename it unzip it first, then rename. It was originally a htm file in my cache folder but as above some have had success renaming and flashing it. I have not tried yet myself yet as I'd like to here from people who have root and bootstrapped ext filesystem. If you do let us all know your results. Cheers.

I put the update.zip on rapidshare for anyone who wants it

So has anyone successfully updated that was rooted and running ext4?

Will it affect kernels or root access? If this gets rid of my of my kernel and won't allow to reflash ill be pissed! So if anyone has installed this please let me know. And if it's for the worst. Tell me how to get rid of the damn update icon!

Root was still there, and kernel build number did not change. the [email protected] did change.
I cannot guarantee that it will not affect kernel, but it did number change the build number so it suggests it did not

Well worth it. Otherwise, it will be on this and other websites by the end of the day. P3droid rocks. I've been messing around with it, and everything seems super smooth.

jideay, I got it from their website. Did you do method 2 (part 1 and 2)? If so I'm confused if I have to hit both downloads at the same time or do part one, then part 2. Do we need bootstrap or bootstrap2. I have both. Want this on my phone but a little confused.

This is what I did.... Download part 1 and part 2 then use droid2 bootstrap then install part 1 AND part 2 before you exit bootstrap and it should work fine

Did you have to do a "wipe" of any kind in recovery before installing? Also did you do a nandroid backup first before even downloading 596?

nope no wipe or nandroid.... all I did was install the who files, very easy install :-D

Okay, so I go into tbh app, find 2 part download, hit download 1 first or do I have tohit both at the same time.; It says "these need to be loaded at same time". Not sure what they mean by that. Then droid2 bootstrap, hit bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery and then install zip from sd. Is that correct. Will tbh app download automatically to zip od sd? Reason i ask is I tried a coustom rom about 2 months ago, thought I did evewrything correctly, but coulsn't find darkslide rom on sd. Wound up having to sbf. Prefer not to go through that again.

2 things.
1. Someone told you what he did and it worked. Do that.
2. Why didn't you download the rom you couldn't find onto your pc and move to SD in recovery to where you could find it?
I'm in the process of downloading these files (1 THEN 2 because you can't download two at the same time) and we'll see how this goes.

Thejron, I was waiting for clarification on the tbh apparently, which you just provided. Thank you. I did load roms from computer, as I did the tbh 596 root. Why I couldn't find it on bootstrap recovery I have no idea. My screw up. It was there in astro. Sorry about offtraking on post.

That is exactly what I was looking for, I also did method 2. Everything seems to be running great.
In case anyone was wondering I'm using an unactivated droid X (rooted, stock .340), with wifi. I used my computer to download the files and copied them to my sdcard. I did a factory wipe, cache wipe and delvik (I think thats how you spell it.)wipe from clockwork using the droid2 bootstrap(not the droidx bootstrap). Installed the two .zip files in order and rebooted it came up fine.

Thanks - had it running now a couple of hours, may be psychosomatic, but it seems faster than .595.

yeah, i like it - transition was easy, i did had to re install a few things but over all very easy coming from .595 using the tbh app. very nice.

what was the Easter egg p3 mentioned something about a dx2 lwp? i downloaded and flashed patch but still dont see the wallpaper... anyone else see it? and yes I flashed the rooted version from tbh

Gingerblur to Gingerbread

Ok i've searched the forums and am getting more and more confused. I have gingerblur 3.1 installed currently and would like to do the ATT ota update. Can I just download it and install from the system update? Or do I need to wipe the whole phone clean and start over? Thanks and sorry if this is a duplicate.

I am wondering this too...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

I'm in the same boat, I got GingerBlur 4.5 installed and I would like to install the Gingerbread 4.5.19 OTA update. Are there proper instructions out there? I can't find any. I'm assuming I may have to go back to Stock 1.8.3 and do an OTA update. But can someone please confirm. Any instructions would help as well. Thanks

The directions I seem to need are...
Un gingerblur
Un root
As an aside, I got notified of the ota and it failed.

Make sure your battery is fully charged so that you don't run out of power during the upgrade process.
To install the upgrade:
Copy the file to the SD Card
Your phone is on the latest Android 2.2 software (Blur_Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US)
From the home screen, press Menu, select Settings,
Scroll down and select About Phone.
Select System upgrades.
After a couple of minutes, your device will confirm the upgrade is available.
The Copy prompt will appear. Select “Copy”
The Install upgrade prompt will appear. Select Install Now.
Your device will power off and display installation progress.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Please ensure you are aware of the following information after the installation of the package
It will then power up and stay on the carrier logo for up to 5 minutes before powering on to the home screen.
Please do not interrupt this process.
Contacts and email from Google and MOTOBLUR may take up to 60 minutes to synchronize. The phone may appear slower during this initial synchronization process

I am in the same boat as that guy with gingerblur 4.5 .
I don't have an sd card around me atm so would putting the file on the internal storage work or not?
ALSO if I update this way, will it delete all of my media and apps? thanks

side note,
can any one of you please provide the full name of your system version? mine says "Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US ", thing is, I tried to flash a stock sbf to roll back to motoblur, RSDlite fails every time with a message "sec_exception febe 35 35", my phone isn't recognized as 'NS Flash Olympus', it shows 'SE Flash Olympus'.
is there a thread to fix this issue?
thanks!

I figured out how to do it. First I unlocked the bootloader and then followed the directions on here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342
Worked fine

You need to flash back to stock, i.e. flash 4.1.26 or 4.1.57 or 4.1.83. OTA update to 4.1.83 if you are on an earlier version. The update will not work if you are modded in any way. You need to be on stock 4.1.83.
My god, how many times does this have to be said!!!

So let's just say that you are a moron (like me) and just did the OTA over Gingerblur 4.5 and now you have the exclamation point triangle and android on your screen and it does do anything... is it safe to battery pull? or did I just brick my phone?
EDIT: nevermind...

Is there any guide how to flash back?...

Well you could use rsd if you've never installed the GB ota.

Update, now problem

I'm not sure it is a problrm with the zip. I think it may be a cwm problem. I tried the link you posted for the other site and same white screen. When I try to do more than two maneuvers (for lack of a better term) in cwm I get the android in the box with the arrow. Going to try to find the .zip for cwm and reflash it.

Install 3.2.2 after LTE Upgrade

I just received my US 3G model Xoom back after having the LTE upgrade done and like an idiot, flashed the ROM below instead of just rooting the already installed 3.2.2 ROM
[ROM/UPDATE] Android Honeycomb 3.2.2 - Stock & Rooted
I'm experiencing the same Wifi issue a lot of other users are reporting so I've reverted back to the Stock image. My problem is I didn't root and nandroid before installing the ROM above so I can't get to 3.2.2. I can only get as far as 3.2 and then Android reports it's up to date.
Any ideas of how to get to 3.2.2 other than the ROM above? I'll buy a USB Host cable if I can find the proper .zip files to upgrade from 3.2.

That will get you to HLK42B which is 3.2.2. These are the boot and system images which you can flash thru fastboot, something you should be familiar with if you flashed back to stock images...works the same way. However, this the earlier version from the Pilot group which I was part of. Apparently the ones being sent out now are HLK75C or something like that. I am trying to find anyone with one of the recently updated Xooms that can dump the System/Boot images for me. Until then, these are better than nothing and will get you back up on 4G

Switch your network to cdma only and power down and back up. That will let it activate.

I've uploaded a Rogue Recovery backup to MEGAUPLOAD -- http://www.multiupload.com/BTA7S2DMPZ. Unzip everything and put the files in clockworkmod/backup/<some-name> either on your microSD card or your internal memory and then boot into recovery (again, I took it with Rogue Recovery V1.2) and do a restore.
I've verified that this is the stock 3.2.2 by inspecting system/build.prop in the system backup -- it says the version is HLK75C.
Sorry, guys, but today's an exceptionally busy day for me so I don't have the time to monitor this board and answer questions as to how to flash Rogue or whether it'll work with the standard CWM or any of that. Hopefully someone else can step up and help with those questions.

Thanks again for the files. I updated to rogue recovery. I created a CWM folder on my SD card and did the restore. It restored fine. I boot up and it shows 3.2.2 and it also shows build version HLK75C. It still does not show 4G nor does it have the option under mobile network settings to choose LTE/CDMA. I have been on the phone with verizon and they have no clue. Motorola said tech level 3 will call me within 24-48 hours.

You need stock files to get that back. It should show lte/CD a in network settings. You could drive to a 4g area and it should activate.

You need to flash the modded recovery, then in adb shell, run
mount /data
mkdir /data/media/Stock
dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/system of=/data/media/Stock/system.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/boot of=/data/media/Stock/boot.img
sync
Then reboot and pull the files, should be in a "Stock" folder on the internal storage.

You guys are wiping the cache and davlik after flashing right?

Is there a way to dump the img files without modding anything? I just sent my xoom out and will be receiving it completely void of any user information so I can do it at that time, but I really don't want to modify the recovery.

I doubt it. Instructions I received specifically stated that the modded recovery would be needed. You can try unlocking it and running the commands to see but I doubt it will work. You could also try backing up the stock recovery using:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/recovery of=/data/media/Stock/recovery.img
But I believe the modded recovery is what allows the device to be mounted. Wonder if this could be done via fastboot. I have to go to work or I would test it on my own Xoom. Will try later unless someone has already posted images by then.

Ok, I have pulled HLK75C images which should be flashable through fastboot thanks to short/y's Rogue CWM nandroid backup. Usual disclaimers apply here, don't try this unless you know what your doing, not my fault if something messes up. That being said, download images here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22648028/HLK75Csystemboot.7z zip password is "AceXMachine" without the quotes. After unpacking files go to the command prompt
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
It goes without saying that you need your xoom unlocked for this, need adb setup/working and may need to wipe data. I would do a nandroid backup of your current config before doing this. I was able to restore the "data" backup from a previous backup after restoring the "system" and "boot" from short/y's backup. Only problem I had was my market shortcut on the home screen had to be replaced since my "data" backup had the link to the older market. I rooted this before pulling these images so you should already have root when you flash this. I tested and have working WiFi and 4G with this setup. Feel free to ask questions or PM me if needed. Thanks again to short/y for his nandroid backup...even if he did make me load the Rogue recovery just so I could use it ;P
