[Q] UK NSTG 1.2 - reporting "failed firmware upgrade" - Nook Touch General

Hi.
Since a few days my rooted Nook 1.2 is (aproximately) telling me "failed firmware upgrade, please turn off and on again".
It works totally normally after following the described procedure.
But is there an upgrade happening? Can I check it somehow? Is any of my additional apps interfering?

Not sure about UK, but in the US I got that message when it attempted to update me to 1.2.1 "automatically".

What about 1.2.1 firmware
What features are added in new firmware? It better than 1.1.2 and why?

The dictionary for the stock reader is light years ahead of the old dictionary.
There is now a banner that says something like "Press 'n' to unlock your Nook" that appears over every screen saver image.
I haven't noticed any other differences, but changes to some of the wireless network drivers have been reported.
IMHO just the upgraded dictionary is worth the upgrade IF you still use the stock reader.

official firmware upgrade issues from Kies

I tried different machines before I sorted the connectivity problem to establish connection to my device until finally my PC can recognise my device.
Now comes the next headache, after getting the connection established I clicked on firmware upgrade - it came up and displays some updates are available -
it shows my current version as:
(PDA)JE9/(Phone)JE9
available update as:
(PDA)JF4/(Phone)JF4
When clicked on 'proceed' - it brings up some warning for me to make sure they are fixed before I proceed further like power cables connected and some warning of not removing or doing anything during upgrade, after I check 'agree' it starts the download by letting me know that the binary files for the new firmware is being downloaded and after the dowload there seems to be a wait creating impatience for us as to what next...after a few seconds I can see the message above the progress bar saying that the upgrade process has begun..
I can see the screen on my SGS display come with the android logo on some work (like road construction work) and the message telling upgrade in progress do not disconnect...it stays in that state for around a minute...no progress in the progress bar....Now suddenly the PC says 'failed to convert to upgrade mode, try later' and even after stopping my phone continues to show the frozen screen with 'upgrade in progress' (getting us confused and scared and dont know if I can unplug - will this brick my device all sorts of question) until I shut down my SGS and reboot to see it is normal as before but whenever I connect for the firmware upgrade all that I know is I am pending new upgrade.
I am stuck and can't proceed further - I tried it many times with many machines no luck. Please anybody suggest a way out.
Some info on my device: Bought in UK, sim free phone from Singapore Singtel as I see the operator's animation in the startup screen.
Other details on firmware:
PDA:I9000DXJE9
Phone:I9000DXJE9
CSC:I9000OLBJE9
In the settings 'About Phone' carries details:
Version: DXJE9
Kernel: [email protected]# (does this mean the device is rooted already?)
I have another question since I saw somebody mention in another thread that whether he/she should do a european firmware upgrade or asian firmware upgrade - I still confused by this question as well, which upgrade will be pushed to you if you are using Kies as it is just one same application made available for download globally.
somebody please help me with the upgrade issue.
isn't there any dev who can help me on this, it looks like i am the only one experiencing this!!!
I don't think many people are getting the upgrade options via kies at the moment.
I'm not seeing it on UK JF3
so hope, there isn't an issue with my device. I am weary because this was purchased from an online site but purchased the device after checking it personally.
One more question, will an unlocked phone get locked after any new firmware updates?
Are sim free and unlocked phones follow different philosophy ie., after unlocking a phone does that become a sim free phone forever.
Second question, how does the OTA update work - if you are not tied to a service provider - does samsung send these directly to all sim free phones automatically, looking and searching for IMEI numbers? and will a rooted phone be allowed to upate to froyo or any official update (for example) via the official Kies?
thanks
There isn't any offical firmware updates, via Kies, and or any other method.

Pls dont give wrong information. If you are suggesting something make it elaborate and clear.
I have clearly mentioned that I can see my current version as: (PDA)JE9/(Phone) JE9
Update available version:
(PDA) JF4/(Phone) JF4
thats what is displayed via Kies. I am also aware from this forum that some people can see the update whilst others dont see any.
Having said that, I was asking a techy questions as to whether a OTA upgrade or a upgrade via Kies from Samsung still happen if the phone is rooted and also if the phone is sim free and not attached to any service providers will the OTA upgrade will happen if so, is it based on IMEI number that will automatically be tracked OTA.
S
I was wondering if anyone found a solution to this problem? I am having the same problem.
I'm looking at this also.
after following this: (oh great, can't post links)
I had a problem updating to the official Foyo via Kies.
Finally got my PC to recognise the phone then started the update.
Phone screen went all green part way through and nothing was happening for about 20 mins so unplugged.
Phone would switch on but came up with a little picture on the screen and thats it.
so got it updated to JPM by booting into download mode and using odin. Took 5 mins once I downloaded all the files.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 LE (Google I/O) Android 3.1 update is out!

Thanks to Samsung for the prompt update! Thanks to Google for the free tablet!
To update, just go to Settings->About Tablet->Software Update->Check for Updates.
If you don't have a Samsung account, you will have to create one. I'm in the US, but there wasn't a choice for that so I chose UK and it worked just fine.
It will download the update and reboot to install it. The download is pretty quick, but the update takes quite a while to apply. Once it gets to about 73% complete or so, the update inches along very slowly. So just be patient.
After the update, the lock screen background is different but all my settings were preserved.
About tablet (after upgrade):
Android version: 3.1
Kernel: 2.6.36.3
Build: HMJ37.UEKF3 P7510UEKF3
EDIT:
- The upgrade does not make you loose root access. This tablet really is a dream for developers.
- I don't see any evidence of any TouchWiz components anywhere. It still appears to be stock.
- Since this is a WiFi tablet, there's still no access to the Android Video Store (plus I'm rooted). Supposedly that is only enabled on 3G tablets for some reason. Oh well, who cares.
Have fun!
Hi, has it got the awful touchwiz built in or is it still "vanilla" android?
My thanks, like you, to samsung for the update and the tab
I have rooted my IO tab and froze some of the samsung system apps with titanium backup. I'm hesitant to update until I get some more information.
I don't think if touchwiz is ready yet. It will be updated later...
Does this break root or CW recovery? Or can you boot into fastboot after the update?

Same here, rooted, apps frozen with TB.... not at all worried at the quality of 3.1 update versus 3.0.1 delivered on the tab at IO but would have to fall on my ceremonial sword if I updated and ruined a lovely piece of kit by subjecting it to touchwiz... More than my honour could handle
No disrespect but not interested in comments repeating ill informed speculation from" uninformed" blogs, just want a straight answer, so if you are still online ageitgey can you tell us yes or no as regards TW - thanks
Thanks a ton!
Downloading as we speak.
There is no sign of TouchWiz in 3.1. It looks completely the same as before, except minor differences (new lock screen background, slightly different wifi icon, etc).
Root was preserved after my upgrade. RootExplorer still works fine and was granted root permissions.
I didn't have Titanium installed, so I can't comment on that. But I doubt there would be an issue.
anybody else having issues updating?
I am getting
"Failed to update firmware. Try again useing PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre."
not really sure what to do from here.
Concur, no sign of touchwiz, root preserved, titanium works fine. Bizarrely background color of text box when writing this has changed from white to blue and font is dark blue. Apps seem to work ok.
Well report other changes as and when found
onovich, you are not alone. I get the same thing.

Maybe try what it says and try kies ( latest version of course and make sure you have installed latest drivers for the tab in kies- tools menu-" install driver")

Kies says that "This version of the device cannot be updated".
OTA update doesn't work because I've rooted the ROM and installed busybox.
Probably after reverting to stock ROM via Odin OTA update will work?
Updated here, not too many changes noticeable to the end user. Wonder about USB Host - I suppose we need an adapter of some kind because of Samsung's proprietary 30pin port?
so whats the official word on updating
will it work if you are rooted , or unlocked bootloader, or both

personally i found it easier to statically assign the IP configuration information for the 2 networks I use, plus my version wasn't listed for the patch anyway. I also renamed the files in /data/misc/dhcp/ to correct the issue where stuck on assigning IP address in wireless connection (where it basically repeatedly attempts to get an IP address)
*edit*
Here you go BatPenguin. This is the PDF file that comes with the zip for how to properly install the patch

I was beat to it lol.

Omg I'm an idiot. I didn't even see that my version isn't even listed -_-
So thenfact I installed it shouldn't mess my tab up right? Ugh such an idiot.
*edit* I just uninstalled the patch lol. No sense in keeping it if its not for my device anyway. I keep forgetting my tab is not my computer and downloads, zips, etc should be done there first.
........................................
I got the 3.1 OTA update today. Could not connect to WiFi after installation. Did the paperclip reset routine a few times but no luck.
Considered installing this patch but noticed it was not for my build and had second thoughts. But I installed it anyway and after a reboot, my WiFi was working again.
I'm guessing that Acer's list of supported builds is not all-inclusive. If your Wifi stopped working after the HC 3.1 update try using the patch posted above.
Well, I'm in the boat as many of you. The download came in at just after midnight local and after 90% of the install messed up the wifi. I downloaded the patch and tried to install it multiple times with no change in the ability to connect. The tab will see all the networks in my area but it gets into a loop cycle trying to connect and after a minute or so will disable the wifi. I even went so far as to go through the factory reset process and install the patch afterwards with no luck.
At this point it's nothing more than a fancy color reader. Is there a way to re-flash the entire OS with the original Acer version? I have been rooted but don't have a desire to flash any custom ROMs yet. If this is not possible it'll have to go back to Acer and who knows how long that will take....just in time for my trip next month.
Just to err on the safe side it is a US tablet living the Middle East, not that it should matter.
There are plenty of stock ROM's in the dev section you can flash with. Their threads are clearly labelled as such.
Well, I went through the level 1 gauntlet at Acer and they have passed me off to a level 2. I don't have high expectations but it will be a PITA to call considering my hours and my location.
"Australia/New Zealand
- Affected OS versions:
Acer_A500_4.010.12_COM_GEN1
Acer_A500_4.010.24_COM_GEN1
- After installing the update, you are advised update your tablet’s operating system to:
Acer_A500_4.010.40_COM_GEN1"
I already have the update "Acer_A500_4.010.40_COM_GEN1" showing for download.
Does this one include the wifi fix?
(I have no interest in updating from 3.01 to 3.1 becasue of the wifi problem, so if it's not fixed, I'll stay as I am.)
Yes, it does.
Thanks for that - I might let it update now..

fist of all this is not the problem that's supposed to be fixed by the patch. your problem is more simple, check or reenter the wifi password. because it is normal for wifi connection to be removed if it cannot connect to it because of the luck of the password. also make sure your router is supporting wpa/tsk or wpa2/tsk.
because i think that has changed since 3.01 wich also supported WEP, which might not be the case anymore.
the problem people have is that the dhcp is not working after the password is entered. i.e. it dispalys waiting for IP, and never gets it, but it does not remove any networks from the list.
I've been down that path and reentered the password at least a half a dozen times. Up until the most recent update that was pushed was 90% installed and then stalled out out I have had no issues on this network or others.
Your second statement more closely matches the issue that I'm having.
Not happy with Acer. Those of us who use this forum may be able to apply patches to correct problems caused by their upgrades, but think how many people have lost all connectivity when they applied the 3.1 update.
How is it possible that Acer, which has been working on update issues for a month or more, pushes an update that takes out our wireless connection? And why do the users have to assume the burden of solving the problem, locating the patch and applying it?
Doesn't the company test their upgrade before pushing it out? Were they not aware of the havoc it caused?
I like my tablet a lot, but the Acer customer experience is frustrating and hard to understand.
I was able to speak with Karen a level 2 tech rep and we went through a few easy steps and it seems ot have fixed my issue.
begin with the tablet turned off
- press and hold the volume up button (I assume it must be in landscape because she stated it was the button closest the rotation lock)
- press and hold the power button until the light comes on, continue holding the volume button
- as soon as the tablet vibrates begin flipping the rotation lock back and forth as quickly as you can until you see small words in the upper left corner. I had to do this twice because I didn't flip it fast enough.
- once the words appear (erasing cache and such) you can stop switching the rotation lock and let off the volume button.
- It will do its thing and reboot to the original home screen
I had already tried a factory reset but she made it sound as though this would completely reset the tablet and wipe everything. At any rate it seems to have worked. I'm going to try and re-download 4.010.10, root it, re-install Titanium Pro and re-install all my apps and I'm back in business
Give it a try and see if it works.

[Q] Error. Sorry we're having trouble setting up your nook.

The device: Nook simple touch glowlight
This error happen when I return original state after rooting.
I know there are some stories about blacklisting, but let me finish.
The first time that happen, I contact nook support, they tell me that the device is not blacklisted, and probably i have wifi issues. But my nook perfectly connect to my wifi, so I just install an update and the problem was resolved... but. After that I root and return the original state again, and this error was there again... (this happen just after you successfully set up wifi at first use, and before terms and conditions screen).
I deside to root it again from this state - no registered device, no registered user, just rooted (I know is out standard procedure). And rooting works great. I skip the registration (there is a procedure about that) and I had a perfect working rooted not registered nook. I deside to use the app for registration and successfully register it from there, but the issue now is - nook have a perfect wifi connection and working internet, but the nook reader report that there is a connection issue.
SO -
nook support was maybe right to tell me that the nook can't see Internet for some reason
I am right to thing that the Internet itself is perfectly OK
The problem is fixed when an update is applied, but there is no more updates .
The question is - is there anybody with the same problem?
Can I go to some older version like 1.2.0 or 1.1.2, and to repeat the official update procedure after that?
Is there any other ideas?
Thank you

Newbie guide for rooting SGP312 Sony Xperia Tablet Z

Hi all!
I am writing some instructions for newbies like me that wish to root their Xperia Tablet Z. I spent a lot of hours trying to understand how things work and I try to fill this gap with this post. If anybody knows, I would like to have an answer on the DRM, and model type questions that I have colored red in the text.
I was a "proud" owner of Sony Xperia Tablet Z WIFI 32GB (SGP312) that I bought from northern Europe last September. It was my first Android device and I consider myself super newbie on this "sport". Since my last official Sony system upgrade ~1-2 months ago I had sound problems with skype. I could not make a call without a handset and also my sony speakers refused to reproduce any youtube video. Nonetheless, the alarm was working fine! I was disappointed and after a factory reset the sound problems persisted. Thus, I decided to delve into the rooting world.
So long story short, we can install whichever stock/original firmware we want if it is designed for our devices consulting the precious links in xda-developers.com forums. Then we can either stay with this or install custom "ROMs" having our tablet "rooted".
My first goal is to fix the sound problem so I tried following the stock firmware route.
I flashed the firmware(s) with the quite intuitive Flashtool. Beware that I had already installed the required Google's Android SDK/ADT kit in my windows machine, although I performed every task in my linux machine in order to have working fastboot and adb commands with the minimal fuss installation-wise. To flash the stock firmwares, or the so called FTF files, I was entering the flash mode holding/pressing down the Volume Down key while connecting the device with the USB to my PC. I note that holding down the Volume Up key, instead, connects the tablet in the fast boot mode
After/Before every firmware flashing I was trying not to forget to:
Enable the USB Debugging mode
Trust installation from unknown sources (this probably is redundant) and
Use massive storage instead of MTP in my USB connection options.
Then, I tried to unlock my bootloader (for experimenting purposes) following the official SONY instructions. I successfully did (fastboot was saying OK!), without keeping any DRM keys, since I guess I do not need them, right? However with some FTF stock firmwares my screen was freezing while booting and showing the "flying colors" and then it was eternally rebooting again and freezing again and so on. I tried this and verified it with a couple of FTF stock firmwares. The one was for sure the SGP312 Global Xperia Tablet Z WiFi 32 GB - 10.4.1.B.0.109, I do not remember the others. This 10.4.1.B.0.109 was working fine but not with the bootloader unlocked. I found out that I could break the boot/freeze loop by entering flash mode (Volume Down while connecting the USB) just after it was turned off after the "flying color" freeze.
So I tried with this stock firmware: SGP312 10.4.B.0.577 (UK version 32GB WIFI Unbranded) and after using my tablet for ~30mins I can say that I did not encounter any problems.
But I wanted to view the rooting world, so to do this I found out that installing a Recovery Software would help.
So I installed XZDualRecovery. I followed the instructions and downloaded TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.installer.zip and also the *flashable.zip from the same site.
Before starting to implement the instructions, the same XZDualRecovery post was mentioning I should install a 10.3.1.C.0.136 firmware and so I did, getting the SGP312 10.3.1.C.0.136 VMo EU4 firmware. This 10.3.1.C.0.136 was also working quite well, and after unlocking the bootloader (I do not know if I have to do unlock the bootloader everytime I flash a stock FTF) it was botting properly and my speakers were working fine.
I runned the install.sh for linux (install.bat for windows). I noticed that the third option was "3/ Attempt installation on unrooted device" which I tried and was successful, since then, the "Root Checker" app was saying that my tablet was rooted. That was really cool!
I wanted to enter the recovery mode so I turned on my tablet and when the "SONY" letters appeared (or a bit earlier) I started pressing multiple times the Volume Up key and a nice purple screen (like this) with the recovery appeared. There, I chose Wipe Data/Factory Reset (it was quite fast) and then Install multiple Zip files from the SD card.
The Zips I had in my card were the Cyanogen Mod, the Google Apps and the XZDualRecovery:
I downloaded Cyanogen Mod, pollux_windy for our devices, from here. I chose the latest stable version, cm-10.2.1-pollux_windy.zip 2014-02-01 01:07:05, but I hope another one will see the light soon.
I also installed the latest google apps that for today are these and the latest versions can be found here.
The TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.flashable.zip metnioned above. I am not sure if this is really needed but I think I read somewhere that I should included or else I would not be able to Reboot to Recovery after flashing.
The problem with the pollux_windy zip was that I panicked since the recovery zip installation stopped with the error: assert failed [...] status 7 and I was pretty sure I had an SGP312 device!!! So I deleted the first line in the cyanogen zip file:
Code:
/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
like it appears here or here. This forum post says I should not extract the zip, but I did and it worked.
After all the above steps I booted my tablet and everything seems almost ok so far. I say almost because:
I notice that my device, according to the settings is now the "SGP311" and not the SGP312 (how could I change that?), but in my free space I still see 25+GB (although I am still using only ~3GB).
Also, some times while I am scrolling e.g. in Play Store I see infinitesimal freezes in the movement of the webpage (AnTuTu benchmark returns a rating of ~19800-20118).
Moreover, I have installed ~30 apps, but the installing procedure seems somehow slow, and the last ~10 apps I tried to install have not been installed "due to an error 495". The above was "fixed" after a reboot, but I must say I never encountered this problem with my stock firmware.
To the first question in red: DRM keys are needed for Playstation Mobile, Video and Music Unlimited, I think something regarding Screen Mirroring and, until Android 4.3, no Bravia Engine 2. With 4.4, it works again.
About the 311 and 312 thing, it is because you flashed a firmware that wasn't specifically for your device. You can go into build.prop file, and change every SGP311 you find to SGP312.
Nevertheless, awesome guide

Hi all,
I have the SGP312 but it's not the "global" version (I noticed one of the stock firmware used was the UK one). I have the US/Canadian/North American version.
Would I brick my device if I flashed with the UK firmware? I haven't for the life of me found any guides/threads for my device.
I know it's the "pollux windy" (wifi 32gb) but I'm...afraid.
Thanks!
