Screenshots of update. Keep your phone charged, update will be postponed

So I got a notification in the bar stating "Connecting to DM server". About 30 min later, another message stating "Update Available". Well, my battery is about 25%, so it postponed the update. Good thing though, it says to click the "Software Update" in the System Settings when the battery is charged.
See screenshots below.

My friends phone the same issue
My friend has the same issue. So I'm charging it for him. Going to run a log on his phone once we can upgrade it and see if we can get some nice information like a URL and such.

Would you mind trying to do an adb pull /cache to try and grab the ota zip file?

I have adb working at home, cant remember where I got the driver though for the phone. I put the phone in debug mode, hook it up via usb. WinXP pops up and wants a driver.
Where do I get this driver?

Hi again,
Do you need 32-bit or 64-bit drivers?
I have the 64-bit driver package on dropbox, can PM you the link, but I don't have the 32-bit drivers, sorry

I love how it says Congradulations! like you just won the update lottery.

So where would this update file be located? I have Dalvik Debug Monitor running. The only folder that has a change date of today is the "Data" folder. I cannot access anything in it though.

I haven't installed the update yet, if someone tell me the steps to get the files you need, i could help out

If you're rooted -- you should be able to look in /cache for a file named update.zip.

Running smoothly. I don't see any issues with it. But it isn't my phone and I have lots more stuff on my phone so I will be able to run a better test.

Any way you could pull the .zip out of the /cache folder and send a PM to s0niqu3? It would help the devs out as I don't believe anyone has done that yet (could be wrong and just don't see it though).

I can not find the update.zip file. The only thing I see is a downloadfile.apk in there. I think it downloaded this file first, then restarted the phone into an installation mode. Well there it did the rest as in downloading the zip file. When going back trying to find it, it is gone. Not sure what else to do. I uploaded to files of the log if there is any smarter people than me that can interpret it.

AT&T MediaHub

For those who have AT&T tablets and have issue with using mediahub (it keeps prompting you that there is an update but when clicking OK, Market can't find the update), the trick is to put in your AT&T SIM card (the one that comes with the tab). Market will not find the update until you do so. Even though your original SIM card is not activated, it will still work. Once it finds the update, turn on Wifi and update as usual.
I've also noticed that AT&T tab will appear under Market once you insert the original AT&T SIM (even though it is not activated) and you could access all the AT&T software there.

This doesn't seem to work once you've flashed a Euro rom. I've tried messing with the build prop signature, but I can't get any ATT-specific stuff working, other than the data counter widget.
Now that you have the updated mediahub from AT&T, can you pull the APK off and post it please?

I'm running JMEv4 and I just ripped the MediaHub.apk from the stock ROM. Installed fine, but whenever I try to sign-up, it gives me a location can't be used.
EDIT: Yeah, there's definitely something buggy about it. It's not even loading the thumbnails of movies. And that location error is "Your location is not known or supported." Looks like OP is going to have to upload that updated apk.

Good to know..Have you tried changing sales_code.dat to ATT? It is the current value on origin AT&T tab. You will also need to Clear data under Market, MediaHub and Media storage. Not sure if you need to reboot.

Dunno which version this one is but it is from the most recent AT&T tablet and it's working (this is after the update prompt from market).

Here is build.prop that works with the above MediaHub.apk

Cool! I'll give it a try!
EDIT: Same issue as I had with my APK. Gotta be some other setting. I even changed the sales_code.dat to ATT from KOR.

What is ATT MediaHub? can someone please explain.
Thanks

It is like itunes for the tab. The reason everyone wants to get this to work is because ATT tabs came with a $50 credit towards movie rentals.
The problem is that once you flash your rom you can't update Media Hub and you can't sign into media hub anymore.
There is a nice group of us that have this $50 credit and can't use it. Kind of pissing me off personally. Still trying to find a fix for this.
Thanks everyone who is trying.

Just tried this APK and it still prompts for an update from the market (of which it can't find). This is with the build.prop that was posted as well. TiBu shows this MediaHub as version 108.

I'm using JME and the attached MediaHub and build.prop. I can't update but I could use MediaHub. The trick is turn off Wifi (so it won't prompt you for update), launch MH, turn Wifi back on and enjoy

Hm. Do you happen to see another MH.apk inside /data/app?

Did you install the build.prop into the system directory on JME firmware? What do I need to do to get it to work on JME firmware?

Hm. Still having the same problem I was originally having.
Anyone else have luck with the JME rom?

Here are the steps for me on JME v4
1. Install MediaHub posted by OP
2. Replace builds.prop with OP's
3. Update sales_code.dat to ATT (not sure if this is needed but I did it)
4. Clear data/cache for MediaHub, Market and Media Storage
5. Replace /data/app/com.sdgtl.mediahub.p1.att-1.apk with OP's
6. Start MH
It is no longer prompt me to update. I haven't bought anything but I could watch preview clip fine.

Wow! That actually worked! Thanks both of you guys!

Couple of quick questions for those of us who don't know the file structure yet:
Where do I put the builds.prop file?
How do you update the sales_code.dat file?

Market working on the vega 1.8 firmware

No need to install modaco R6 as it is not fully compatible with the latest vega firmware 1.8. Just follow these simple instructions and it will be working without any add-ons at all. CWM people will probably have to do it via the recovery.
Just download the attachment with the vega, go to settings, software tool, software update and point it to where you got the downloaded file. The vega will reboot and you will have a full working market. It will be the old version the first time you launch it but it will update itself. After that just install maps, youtube and everything else google. The only thing I'm having trouble installing is the official twitter app.
Hope that helps you guys at XDADEV

Thanks for this.
I have edited it and added the smalltaskbar, works great. Cheers

hi guys, i'm having issues trying to install market. i have tried this file and the one from o_g. with no luck. i can dl find and execute the file. when i comes to reboot i get the android out of the box symbol (which i'm assuming is bad ?)and have to power down the vega to get it to boot again, without market ? any ideas ? i have little knowledge of android (phone related only) and am a bit stumped.

No, you don't necessarily need it but it doesn't hurt if you do. It has to be done via recovery if you do though, different process. What firmware have you got?

The android out of the box symbol is fine thats when it is flashing the files. there should be a progress bar that turns orange, after that happens the device should reboot its self. The only requirement is you are running stock v1.08.

I have noticed launcher pro does not show in the market had to install manually. i have tried changing the market files, but that does not work, so it might be as you say down to location, or i think it could be to do with are device name on the market, maybe advent does not want us to have those apps. I cant remember where the device name is. I will have to look further.

The battery was fully charged out of the box and the screen polythene had most definately been removed and replaced. Need to do some more reading methinks

Thanks for the assistance guys, my memory card was the culprit. I had swapped it for a bigger one, and not copied the contents. Sorted now tho now to get flash working properly

It works ok, you need to delete some of the apk's out of files/system/app. things like car home can be deleted and other little things. Like that it will not run out of space when you install it and it will not give you errors. This is just another option, that's all. Some more goodies will come along from modaco and xdadev like the new R7 rom addon that were made specifically for the 1.08 firmware.

thanks man, i just changed the 0 to a 1 at the end and it worked, then market updated the second time i opened it.
been trying to do this for over 2 wks

[Q] Dexter mod ?

Hi I am a newbie I did everything the instructions told me to do but when I put the sd card in my a7 it said bad can't open file what did I do wrong I wiped the a7 I clean the cache I cant figure out what I did wrong I even formatted my micro sd card please help me

SD card had to be formatted as Fat32 not NTFS...
Regards

how do i format it like that

Also, downloads for Dexter's mods have historically been buggy for many users. The file you download (through 1.3) should be around 100MB. The exact size varies between versions. If the above suggestions don't work for you, try downloading the file again.
If you still have issues with the downloaded file, other users have found download success by using a browser download plugin called flashgot. It only works with Firefox and Thunderbird though.
http://flashgot.net/

I had an issue with the download with similar results to yours. My download was only about 63K whem it should of been a little over 100MB.
I had to start down loading the 1.2 update, that would start to download the whole 1.2 file. I'd cancel the download then download 1.3. For some reason after that it downloaded the complete 1.3 update file and I was able do the update.
So, check your downloaded file size and see if that's you issue. Also make sure you rename it Update with a capitol "U".

how long does the download take? i followed the instructions and my screen went to a picture of an android? and a box and stayed that way.

Did you boot into recovery (1. by turning off the unit, then power it on by holding the power button for a second, release, and then hold again until the recovery menu pops up), or did you use the settings menu to run the Update file (2. Open Settings > About device > System updates > Update device)?
If you did option 1, the soft keys on the side of the tablet allow you to navigate from the image you reference (android robot & box):
Search Key = Up
Back Key = Down
Home Key = Menu
Menu Key = Select
When you see the robot, press the Home key to take you to the update menu. Navigate the menu to clear your cache. After the cache wipe is complete, select the option to install Update.zip. Give it about 10min to run through the update, and it should reboot. If it reboots into an Elocity Logo loop, long press the power key until it shuts down. Your next boot should take you into a properly functioning tablet. Depending on the version of the OS you currently have installed, the update may retain your current apps and settings.
I haven't tried option 2 in a while, but it should do everything for you automatically - but it will probably factory reset the tablet and you'll lose any previously installed apps.

thanks. Did not know this when i posted found out byaccident when wipinfg off fingerprints. Wish they sent directions with the A7.

NP. Did exactly the same thing back in December.

if you have not solved your issue I believe I had simular problem. the file when you download is already a .zip file. So when you rename it just rename it "Update"

Another newbie here with a question.
My new A7 is due to be delivered tomorrow.
From what I have gathered so far from this board is that the Dexter Mod allows you to get apps from google marketplace, correct?
I am not sure which version of firmware will come on the A7 but I am going to assume that it will not be the latest one released in February.
My question is should I do the firmware update first, and then download and install the Dexter Mod?
Thanks in advance.

Dexter's mods have all been based on firmware updates from Elocity. He has kindly added market functionality and fixed a few bugs. I don't see any value in updating with Elocity's firmware prior to installing Dexter's latest.

As the other poster said there is no need for the elocity 7 update but if I were youI would keep it handy. I had a problem with the mod and had to reset the device with the old firmware. Also it seems a weird problem with android reading the file as when reading in astro the upddate.zip looked like update.zip.zip. w
Wierd.
So you just write update i dont even capitalize it.
Also want to add as newbie to andrid as well and it makes a huge difference in performance too. Think it is fast now when you put the mod it seemed to increase overall performance for me which I did not expect.
Good luck

That is not an android problem. That is what happens when windows explorer is set to hide known file extensions and people dont think when remaming things.

Please do not insult people because we lack knowledge which is why we are here to figure out what is going on. I had no idea windows explorer was set to hide file extensions. I never set it that way nor was i ever told before now. Now that I know i can do something but I was thinking, maybe i do not know what i am doing but you could offer help without making me feel like an idiot.

So it is not OK for me to point out an obvious mistake (seriously, this one is like calling grass purple). BUT it is perfectly fine for you to assume that it is a "problem with android" and disseminate misinformation like its your job.
Yup, I am obviously in the wrong.

It is obvious to you. I made a mistake and never said I was an expert and pointed that out in my response by saying I was a newbie too and this was what happened to me and my best guess was what I said. I never said I knew it was an andriod glitch but because I had no other idea until someone like you with more knowledge chimmed in.
All I am saying is you could have corrected me as a newbie with a sense of friendship and not superiority. I was sharing my experience to help someone else. That is all I want to do. I am no expert and am learning as I go.
I have seen others in linux forums when i started with that with the tone. Maybe it seems like thecolor of grass to you but is not so obvious to others. If I sounded like I was telling people mis information then I apologize. That was not my intention.
It is up to you how you treat others and if it feels like the right thing then that is your right. Just understand that some of us are not out to show we are smarter than anyone else and are just trying to help even when we make wrong assumptions.
Thanks for correcting me and setting the record straight.

First off, double, triple check to ensure your build.prop permissions are 0644, reboot your device, then go to the part where it says software update in settings, then hit update. I do not have this device, I'm just telling you that based off of what everyone else is saying. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
