[Q] Anyone else with the DI18?

Hey everyone.
I was waiting for the update, but I did not think it was going to happen today. Anyway, I got it while I was at the mall, so I clicked yes for the system update. My epic restarted and everything and did the whole downloading phase. Then when it was about to finish, it says "An error occurred while trying to update your firmware. Please try again later." I was a little disappointed by this. so I waited....and waited...then I checked my about phone settings and it says that I have the DI18 in the baseband ver. but it says update 1 in the firmware. Could anyone else tell me what I should do?

ya you should update manually

I tried to update from the system update menu, but it still came up with the error. Any idea how I can update manually unrooted?

I manually updated and under Firmware version it still says 2.1-update1
But if you got an error message of some kind I don't think it would hurt to manually reinstall the update.

Since it already says DI18 in baseband version and build number,
Would placing the update manually into the root of my SD card have any negative effects?

It's the same update so it should be ok. Just dive right in and we'll work out any problems lol

ah wait. Never mind, I'm not rooted.

I've read someone got the update without having to root. They downloaded the update file, copied to sdcard root, renamed the file to update.zip, booted into samsung recovery, and applied update.zip
The thread name is DI18 update for Stock Roms Only in the Epic 4G Android Development section

Yeah this can be done with the signed file that was floating around from one of Firon's threads. You don't need to be rooted to flash that one

Was pushed to me OTA at around 9PM yesterday.

So after update installed and reboot, I get "checking for software update" and it's just staying there with the circling ring. Is this normal?

It should do so for about 30 seconds or less to confirm that the update is installed (really just tell you that there are no new updates.) If it still hangs, reboot.

So after I finished updating, once it finished booting up the phone said "there are no current updates, your software is up to date". Is this what's supposed to happen?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Firmware will show 2.1 update1
Build number will show sph-d700 Eclair D18
This is where the updates show, look there on About Phone

You need to boot in recovery mode and have the file named update.zip on ur sd, clear cache in recovery and then update while still in recovery. The rest does itself.
Different steps for rooted users.
Setting->about phone...to see if the update is there

Update 63 is live, and it's insane!

Android 4.3, automatic & customizable mapping of Shield controls to touchscreen controls, 60fps PC streaming, 1080p HDMI output, and more!
Already updated and can't find release notes online, so unfortunately I can't write them, but suffice to say you need to update NOW.
Does appear to remove root, but that shouldn't be too difficult to rectify.

Saweet baby jebus i gotta go update!

Neither. I just did a straight update. My Android familiarity is limited and I'm lazy. I figure it will be easy enough to re-root.

I keep getting a signature error during the update install, I've even done a full wipe and then updated again and the same thing. I can't get it installed.
I do have an unlocked bootloader, but that shouldn't keep me from updating =/ Would it be possible for someone to post the update zip?

If you are rooted and have removed any apps it would keep you from upgrading.

The new update is awesome, get it as soon as you can. I have moved all my games to the SD and have all the internal storage space back and the console mode is great with my moga pro.

Yeah has nothing to do with the bootloader... are you running a custom recovery? I'm not and mine worked. I was rooted and unlocked. Lost root, of course... but not sure I even need it now since full games can be moved and with the improved gamepad support.

Nah, never removed anything. Rooted for tincore and titanium backup originally.

Yep, clockwork recovery. I guess I'll have to flash a stock recovery image.

If anyone figures out how to restore root after this update please let me know. I'm having no luck using the old manual method.

Flash back to the original recovery first. You should be able to fastboot flash CWM after the OTA and get root back.

Thank you everyone, I flashed back to the stock recovery and was able to update no problem. Woohoo!

Can someone please tell me how I would flash back to stock recovery to update?

My apologies. I assumed it was to be done via some backup made during cwm install.
I flashed factory recovery but now when I boot into android (still 4.2.1) and do a "check updates" it says I am up to date. Is there some cache or settings I have to clear for it to recognize that the previous attempt failed so it will allow me to re-download and update again?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I wonder if the ultra will also receive this
Sent from Ahjee's Ultra which is likely better than your phone

Make sure you have a backup in TWRP before running this as it does not take kindly to root. I had a "Shutdown" loop after installing on rooted device.

Could you please extract and post the Google Drive Apk?

I installed the update while rooted and now my phone is power cycling and I can't get it to stop. My fault for not unrooting, I know, but if anyone has insight on how to fix this, it'd be appreciated.

Well I unrooted by fxz save data then installed the pwnmymoto apk took the update and got root back all is normal but I can't access touchless control it wont allow me to check the box. google search works but not touchless control. Can we fxz back with this update or will it brick our phone.
Ok I unistalled and then updated the app but now I get to the training screen but it doesn't activate it's like it can't hear me.

You have to update it from the play store. I had that problem before the update. Could you tell me the exact process you used to root the update? I'm about to try and upgrade, but can't survive without root lol

I did an fxz save data with house of moto which restores to stock but keeps data. Then I re-installed pwnmymoto but did not run it. rebooted to recovery and installed the update from my sdcard. everything went fine but no touchless controls I installed the update and still it would not let me past the training screen. So I said **** it and installed the stock recovery did a factory reset and now I am good I will just juse the new root method.
If you use my method above when you reboot after the update pwnmymoto will automatically run and install root it cycles 3 times so don't worry you are not in a bootloop with it shutting on and off.

The adb root method? By jcase? I'm a little hesitant to use that one. Since I have no prior adb experience

PwnMyMoto was an apk you download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444954
Super super easy to do.
Glad to hear someone was able to use this as a new ota root method. But I haven't heard of many others doing this. It's still a little early to hear all the news.

Brilliant! Booted to system version 12.15.15. So...followed these directions to maintain root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466191
To apply the "OTA" I booted to stock recovery and updated from SD. This failed, but booted to 12.15.15.
Then in the above directions, used fastboot to install the new baseband from the modem drivers from another thread in this forum.

Just to help anyone out I am part of the soak test. If you try to update by hiding root and then flashing stock recover you will get error from trying to install from stock recovery or if you where able to do an ota it will fail. It will show afterwards that you are on the version but you are lacking some things. Anyways The way That I got everything to work without a single error including the baseband coming from the ota .
used fastboot to flash recovery back to stock recover . Flashed stock system to system in fastboot. After that then I installed that I backed up after download from verizon through stock recovery from sd card. after I came back online. I used adb and the RockMyMoto Root and walla everything good to go.
Hope this info helps some !!

I've downloaded it and placed it in cache but my phone still says it's up to date? Any thoughts?

Interesting... How do you determine the you are missing stuff? How did you flash the stock system?
Things seem to be running fine through my method, but the update did fail and I certainly haven't tried everything.

It appears at least some things were updated. When I rebooted, I got the "moto camera" update from the market and when I check build number it is the 15.15.15 update so it looks like that went through. I'm just curious as to what "failed" and what made it through.

For those that failed halfway through, you most likely don't have the new baseband (95). You'll be unable to take future updates until you get everything squared away.

Until phase 3.

Why not download the zip and flash it like the rest of us?

Because when I tried my phone would boot only into recovery

still waiting here. sideload fails. (check cid failed) and im 100% stock, real GPe purchased new from Google Play store.

nothing yet... uk

Just so you know when you download the OTA it will download the same zip and boot into recovery for you. If you get some sort of errors now you will get them when you try to install the OTA. Best way to install it is to re-install 4.3 stock and than the 4.4 OTA zip.

Seen people mention even with genuine stock gpe's have failures with side loading.
Due to these issues i decided to wait.
Hopefully we can identify when phase 2 starts.

i never thought about this. my phone is 100% stock purchased from Google. I got the 4.3 OTA just fine back when it came out.
why the issue now?

If people want it they just need to go stock 4.3 unrooted with stock recovery. Download the zip and push it to the sdcard. Boot into recovery, hold vol h and press power. I got an sdcard mount failure 5 times then a menu. Choose load from phone storage and select the ota zip you pushed.

You need S-OFF to manually flash an OTA file, regardless of the phone being an official GPe or a Sense-based phone. No S-OFF, no manual flash

hTC_102...converted to GPE...unlocked, s-off, rooted...just temporary unrooted and installed the OTA from Stock recovery...works...

I received the OTA, and it soft-bricked my phone. Fortunately, I was able to get into bootloader and just ran the RUU...

I have an unlocked bootloader and d/l the factory image for 5.1. I extracted the .img files and flashed them with fastboot. Also flashed twrp 2.8.5.1 and supersu 2.46.zip to get root. Everything is working very well and is much snappier than 5.02. You probably have changed something in the /system folder. Flashing the system.img will overwrite whatever is messing up the update.

Since 2 days my grouper wlan is showing the notification that the system update android 5.1 is available.
I never did a ota update. I always used a flashable zip via custom recovery. The groupers bootloader is unlocked, rooted, a custom kernel and custom recovery installed. Can I do the update or must I undo all?

Thanks for the info on the new OTA.
My N7, grouper, has always been stock, except for being unlocked/rooted. I've always taken the OTAs in the past just fine. Clearly I don't know about this one.
Based on that history, my guess is that, at the very least, you're going to need to flash the stock kernel and recovery to take this one. Time will tell...
cheers,
