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.

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.
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

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.

rename teh update - update- DONOT PUT THE ZIP PART.
i had the same problem. i noticed the elocity update did not use the zip in the update name.
Hi to All.
I am new to Driod and this forum as well,
I bought Atrix From BELL.
So far I have flashed the ROM to the New OLYEM_U4_1.4.2 Telstra.
Rooted and Deoxed as well, I even got a Custom theme on it.
In short my story, I tried using the Arabic "Framework.jar" that is posted on one of the Dev-Forum on this site. My phone soft bricks.
Is there a better way to update the file. Or the file is just not compatible
What i have tried.
1 - Reflash > rooted > Deoxed > Arabic suport = Bricked ?
2 - Reflash > rooted > Arabic supprot = Bricked ?
Thank you
Anything
Yes, Please attache your original "Framework.jar" file for me.

I made sure the extensions were set RW-R-R . but I guess this Firmware does not like it.

Can you wait for few days. I promise i will make it work for you and i am trying to get the browser too. So if not today wait till tomorrow and it will work. If you reflash your device do not install anything just keep it Deoxed and rooted. So if we have any problem you do not lose your files.

No problems although you could find your answers on the forum if you searched. But for simplicity...
Here's my instructions for moving from 2.3.2 GRH78C to 2.3.4 GRJ22. (amalgamated from various sources...) Let me know how you go with them.
Charge phone to 80% or more!
1. As you are running 2.3.2 GRH78C first download this to your computer:
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/98f3836cef9e.signed-soju-GRI40-from-GRH78C.98f3836c.zip
2. Plug in your Nexus S to your PC (or mac), switch on USB Storage and copy the file from wherever you saved it to the root of the removable disk (your nexus S)
3. rename the file "update.zip"
4. Disconnect your NS, and shut it down.
5. Holding down the volume up button, press the power button. You should boot into the "bootloader" (big android logo and some options)
6. Use the volume keys to highlight the "recovery" option, then press the power button (it works like a select button here)
7. Your screen will show "google" then a open box and a little android man, then this will turn to an exclamation mark inside a triangle.
8. Press the power and up buttons again, then select "apply update from /sdcard" as before using the up and down keys and the power button
9. select "update.zip" and press the power key - the phone should then update to 2.3.3
10. Once it is completed (check the status bar) select "reboot system now"
11. Complete!
Once your phone reboots you will have 2.3.3. Repeat the same process as above but with this file instead to go to 2.3.4: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/a14a2dd09749.signed-soju-GRJ22-from-GRI40.a14a2dd0.zip
Remember to remove the 2.3.3 "update.zip" from your Nexus S before copying over the 2.3.4 update.zip
Many thanks for the kind reply with details. On number 2 you say to the root. Isn't it just copy and paste ?

Yeah, copy and paste to the "root directory" of the Nexus S internal Flash Storage. (When I say "root" in the instructions I don't mean "root" as in rooting your android phone to enable super user, I mean the "top level directory" of the Nexus S storage)
Hope that's clearer

Haha Ok I'll break it down just to make it clearer (as I didn't quite understand what your last post meant - sorry!)
1. Download the file
2. Copy the file you just downloaded from your pc (copy the file you see on your pc screen that you just downloaded)
3. Paste it onto your Nexus S (in other words, don't put it in any folders!)
4. Follow the rest of the instructions
If this still doesn't make sense I'll try again!
When I tried to apply update, it failed with following message.
Assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/framework/framework-res.apk". (status 7)
I think the reason is that I have used percentage battery framework. Does anyone know where I could get the 2.3.2 stock framework-res.apk ?
Many thanks,

Please search the forums, this question has been answered many times already (by me and many others).. but as I am nice... follow the instructions posted higher up. As you are on GRH78 you need to use this file to go from 2.3.1 to 2.3.3 instead of the first one posted in my instructions
(2.3.1 GRH78 to 2.3.3 GRI40) http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/e0b546c442bf.signed-soju-GRI40-from-GRH78.e0b546c4.zip
then use the later file from my instructions to go from 2.3.3 GRI40 to 2.3.4 GRJ22
Any problems message back...
Many thanks for the kind reply and details. I will update on this as soon as I try it out. I forgot my USB cord at my shop so I can not do this tonight. I have two laptops and tried to do it at my shop today using my Apple MBP but that was useless since I was unable to rename the file on my Apple so I will bring back home the USB cable tomorrow and try again tomorrow.
Freakin Apple won't allow us to rename them files
2.3.3 worked perfectly and the screen turned yellowish as everyone reported. I applied the zip 2.3.4 file and it also worked perfectly. Many thanks for the kind reply and help with details. So far the only thing I find wrong is that the colors are a bit different from what they were. I think I liked them more before.

i dont know the change log
but i have seen two users report the 13.2.2.2 update
it could not be anything more than to mess up the work around that people have been getting away with by updating the build.prop
because when i try to change the build.prop to 14.3.2.2_user_322095220 in all the right places and try to save it the way i did before using root explorer it saves as 0 kb and is blank when i look at it.so i delete it and change the build.prop.bak file that is created when changing the build.prop back to build.prop because i am afraid to reboot with the blank one in fear of a brick

i dont know the change log
but i have seen to users report the 13.2.2.2 update
it could not be anything more than to mess up the work around that people have been getting away with by updating the build.prop

Google "hdx 8.9 download"
Find the Amazon page that lets you manually download the updates
The download link points to 14.3.2.1..
Copy that link into a new browser window and edit it in two places
this is for 8.9 obviously

What Changed?
Wonder what changed... the recovery, kernel(s) and system apps all appear to be the same. There must be some critical bugs that had to be urgently patched with this latest update coming so quick on the tail of the 13.3.2.1 update.
[Edit]Upon closer inspection, looks like there are some noticeable changes in the following apps:
WhisperlinkSdk.apk
WhisperplayActivityView.apk
WhisperplayCDSSettings.apk
WhisperplayCore.apk
WhisperplayQCSource.apk
com.amazon.communication.apk
com.amazon.tcomm.apk

I've updated 13.3.2.2, somehow opened when the machine is updated immediately so!!
I wonder if it would be possible to insert the SU binaries in this new update and then manually install it without breaking the signature
I just did a manual "Check Update" on my HDX 7 and it said no new updates, but only has 13.3.2.1.
I did sniff the traffic from the Kindle during this check and found that it contacted "softwareupdates.amazon.com" - which I now blocked in my router for what its worth.
Captured packets attached just in case they're useful.
Well crap. Blocking the server as above on my home LAN did stop the update from ever happening but I forgot to turn WiFi off at School and what do you know, 13.2.2 snuck right on in in a matter of minutes

Couple questions...
1. Once I stay out of the Stock rom it shouldn't update. Am I right on that?
2. If I have a rom slot with Fire OS loaded to it and in use. Can I turn on wifi and it not update?
3. I have the AOSP rom in as lot. Can I turn on wifi in this without fear of update?

install safestrap on both stock and rom slot one
so it will not be able to fully update it will bootloop back to safestrap according to GSLEON3
Update the hosts file on the kindle to point to localhost(127.0.0.1) or something. That might, or might not offer some help on WiFi you don't control. You'll need to still have root to do this of course.
