Market update

I have a weird issue and I'm not sure what's going on.
A few days ago I noticed that the market layout got changed a little bit. The three tabs on top changed to Apps|Games|T-mobile. Going to the t-mobile tab shows recommendations from t-mobile. The next day I noticed that it was gone and back to the original Apps|Games|Downloads, and the weird part is that now the market icon is back to the 1.6 one (I've had the android 2.0 icon for a while since I'm running cyanogen).
Oh and I checked with aTrackdog and it says I have Market v1.66 and there's a v1.71 available. Any idea what's going on?
I have a G1 on t-mobile and running CM v4.2.9.1
edit: I feel like this is an app issue and not an issue with the ROM, hence the posting in the apps section. Also, it happened randomly and not immediately after I updated to the newest CM release or something.

Things just get jittery when running apps2sd which you probably are.
I didn't know rooted phones were suppose to get that Update.
So idk you really shouldn't be getting OTA updates like that ESPESH from Tmobile.

So there was actually an update for the market for non-rooted G1 users on t-mo? When did that roll out?

Yea, it's been rolling out/bloggers/sites have been asking if anyone has gotten and it's seemed like it was rolling out, then got pulled back and delayed a lot.
But all the Update does it replace Mydownloads with Tmobiles lame apps.
But the main part about this is it allows you to buy applications and place the cost on your tmobile bill so you don't nessicarily need a credit card which is really cool.
But I'm pretty sure Cyan already twatted it's not likely to get ported to rooted phones or something like that which is understandable since it deals with Tmobile's billing info.

Oh okay thanks for the clarification. It's weird that the update got rolled out to me. I guess it didn't go through the regular OTA update 'channels' or something. I follow a few android blogs and didn't see any mention of it. Anyway I don't really care about adding the cost to my bill, both options are the same to me. As for the tab, yeah the t-mo tab is pretty stupid, I don't care about their recommendations, plus it means it's an extra click to get to my downloads.
So I guess in theory if I reflash the ROM I should at least get the android 2.0 market icon back? I'm gonna wait til tomorrow and try it (since I guess Cyanogen is releasing an update tomorrow)

The change has NOTHING to do with having a rooted phone. In fact, it has nothing to do with the application itself. It is all on the server end.
There are a few bugs that they need to work out before deploying it to the masses. I have been running Cyan's newest ROM since it was released and my tabs have changed from Download to Tmobile and back. Why? Because it's coming from Google's server as such.

Did your icon also revert to the 1.6 one? Anyway I guess that's good news. Means that future changes like this will also roll out to rooted phones.

I really don't think a T Mobile Recomonded tab in the Android market is coming from the Google Server I think it's Tmobile controlling it's phones like when they took the Tether app off the US market and how the Droids market is different than others.

Flashed the newest CM today and it didn't fix the market icon, still have the 1.6 one. It's not a big issue but I just find it weird that the icon got reverted back (if it's just server side changes the icon shouldn't be affected).

I noticed the same thing. I had the default Market, a few days later I noticed it had a T-Mobile button then all of the sudden it appears to be back to the default.
I just simply gave up and said whatever anymore.

verizon already has the new market with VERIZON were our downloads are.
I also have the updated market in a nandroid from cyans rom.

Wait.. so you guys counted to 40 and then turned off your data connection?

Good to hear guys, I waited 35 sec. Badcam3 yes thats when you cut off data. Some people have reported over 60 sec, some 15. Good luck!

No joy on O2 uk.

It worked for my unbrand asia HD7, Its great thanks !!!

it works kinda
Okay so I tried this and it updates successfully (had to wait nearly 60 second)
I was successfully running NoDo and I tested almost everything, but
DNS was not working, I tried over Wifi everything was fine, tried my data connection and got the error message "could not find DNS server.
I'm restoring my phone using zune, and see if that resolves it.
If that does, I'm just going to bite the bullet and unbrand that SOB with the NoDo rom using the method outlined by ansar here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001019
Edit:
I actually I think it's a t-mobile issue, I left my nexus at home so I can't verify. To make matters worse I hard reset my phone, after downgrading my rom version. FUC*!!!
Edit 2:29Pm 03/30/2011
Yes it was a t-mobile thing. Hardreset and downgraded for no reason. Good news as soon as I reconnected to Zune I got NoDo update immediately
-good part is, Zune restore works flawlessly for those who are wondering.

Though I like to think I have pretty good sense of time, I used my watch just to be extra precise.

Hey guys, I wanted to clear some things up for you guys since some seem a bit confused about the timing.
The timing differs for EVERYONE! You need to time how long it says "checking for updates" or whatever. Once you get that time, lets call it "n", you do it again (with cellular data on). Before you search for an update again, I went to the "phone updates" in the settings tab, make sure the "check for updates via cellular data" is checked, you want to stay here while zune looks for your update. Now manually search for an update and at approximately (n-1)seconds you want to uncheck that box. Your phone should show a notification that says there's an update available.
IF IT IS TOO LONG OF A READ, BASICALLY EVERYONES TIMING IS DIFFERENT!

It worked on 3rd attempt due to timing. But it is okay. And it kept itself jailbroken and I can sideload anything just like before.
Great.
PS: This should be pinned, IMHO.

I updated via the RUU PG posted earlier, so I am running .52 In my experience, I am still getting the notification that my software is up to date. If anyone can point to the .567 RUU or has other means of getting my unrooted/locked/100% stock device updated, it would be much appreciated
(I am hoping that stupid glitch with clicking links is worked out.)

Nice!!! This is why I check this forum close to everyday . It works for me. I have stock software and haven't messed with it.

Can't Get In
I've tried about a dozen times, but I get a "Server Unavailable" error message each time. So, either the official update in not available everywhere yet, or everyone else is hogging the server bandwidth. I started trying about 1 p.m. CDT when I first saw this thread.
I have a stock Vivid.
I'll keep trying.

Yea give it a while.Its not even posted on HTC's site yet.

There's an issue with the update. It was failing halfway through for me, so I called AT&T. Of course, the person I spoke to is a bumbling idiot, so they directed me towards HTC. HTC confirmed the issue to me and said they are working on a fix as well as there being no timetable for the fix. Is anyone else having an issue updating OTA? Mine is downloading fine and my phone turns of and goes to a screen with progress bar. About a quarter of a way through the progress, I get an error icon.

Thanks for the update. Maybe it's just as well I couldn't get in. I think I'll wait until I see more positive news here.

Update went smoothly and its now running on my phone. The best part is how much faster the interface is.

This doesn't seem to be working for me. When I click on check for update, it just say mines is up to date, but i'm on 2.3.4
I unlocked my bootloader, and rooted device, but I relocked my bootloader so I could do OTA. I'm still on the stock software, no ROMS or anything yet.

That works thank you!

My update went off without a hitch. I am experiencing one side affect though... Seems that the phone no longer sees the AT&T Microcell.
I did noticed the under Base Band the radio did change, so I wonder if this is the root cause.
Is anyone else that has the MicroCell having this issue?

I suspect it was failing halfway through for you because you either froze or deleted some of the bloatware that came with the phone. The installer checks for those, and if it doesn't find them, the update will abort.
My phone was completely stock and unrooted and the update was installed and running in less than 10 minutes.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the update, though, as long as you haven't monkeyed around with your phone.

Not the greatest screen shots... will try to upload better shots if anyone is intrested.

Could you please tell us if its having this issue with the browser?
When you click on a bookmark after waking up the phone or randomly does it load the last page you were on instead of the bookmark you click?
Wondering because im using PG's RUU and it has this issue with the browser.

One of the users hopefully before doing the update will copy the ota off device to computer and upload somewhere for the cooks to start with higher build 3.26.502.56710RD

That's been my experience, but I stopped using the HTC browser. Download Chrome Beta, then go into app associations in the setting menu and make it the default app for URLs/links.
The issue doesn't happen with Chrome...and Chrome is a much better browser anyway IMO.

That's everyone's answer but there should be a fix for the default browser for people that like to use the HTC bookmark widget.
Tonight i will be looking into the issue and will post a fix here for the stock browser if i find one!

[Q] Problematic Upgrade to ICS for Droid Bionic and Problems with Rooting.

Since Thursday morning I have been having issues with my Droid Bionic after Verizon did the OTA update to Android 4.0.4 System version 6.7.246.
The initial problem was that after the OTA installed my phone was bricked. After many attempts to bring it back and my bosses being rather unhappy that I no longer had a phone I went through the warranty/insurance and they sent me a new phone the next day. Now I of course need to root it. I have tried all the Razor's Edge based roots I could find on both a 32 and 64 bit Win 7 system with the latest drivers as found on the Motorola website. The Razor's Edge systems (ADB.exe specifically) don't seem to find my device so they don't move forward (Figured that out by copying out the individual commands from the Batch file to see where it stops). I just tried downloading and using the Motofail on these forums and after downloading it says that it won't run on my system.
Has anyone else been having these kind of issues when you updated OTA or have been trying to root? I do know when I talked to Verizon the rep had said she had already covered two calls about odd behavior after the update. I find it very funny though that I haven't had such issues when I upgraded my Nook Color to ICS.

Ok I just want to make sure I am on the right page. The House of Bionic method will push out an update to 246 which already includes root access? Rereading my previous post I realize I may not have made it clear that with the replacement phone the OTA update did work so I am on 246.

I could not get Razor's Edge to work on my new laptop(W7 64bit) but Motofail worked perfectly. Have you tried it?

Not yet. I know I had issues downloading it and when I tried to run it I was informed that it wouldn't run on my computer but that was only on the 32 bit computer so I have yet to head back home and try on a 64bit. Also I am not 100% sure of a good download location, I seem to remember hitting a lot of incorrect ones including one from the developer that said it was a defunct method.
As I said for this rooting my luck has been a whole lot of bad.

I downloaded from the Motofail thread.

Here is the link to the download

This worked great for me. Had to update the moto drivers first then downloaded and ran the motofail-ics. I have been searching the forums here and other areas. Never realized how much I was spoiled with root until the ics ota took it from me! =( lol. Thank you all for the postings, comments, and feed back. It help to make re-rooting loads easier for me!¡!¡ :thumbup:

Bionic after updates goes back to previous owners account
Hello, not sure if I'm posting in the correct place but I need some help. I purchased my bionic on ebay about a year ago. My service is through pageplus. After receiving updates the phone reverts back to the previous owners info and will not work for me. I then have to have it flashed, which has been done 4 times now. Last night was the most recent. Everything is working for me fine but when I look at about phone and status its still showing the previous owners phone no. and min. but when dial the program codes it shows my no and min. Can I fix this and how can I get it to stop reverting back..

I am so sorry to read that this is happening. I am not 100% sure but it sounds to me like the phone was never de-registered after it was activated with your current service. I would think that doing a system restore back to stock and then going through the motions of re-registering the phone to your account and service provider may work. The only other thing I am able to think of is that it may have been rooted to the original owner and they never un-rooted it and de-registered prior to selling it.
Hope this gives a better idea or maybe some one else whom knows more then I will respond.
Gl,
Cheers ....

MK7 USA 12.53mb update, quota resets @ midnight EST

My guess is that most people who wanted MK7 already have it via the UK link put up over a month ago or USA firmware link in the past couple of days, both found in the firmware download sticky. Or got it through KIES, like the "maximum number of roll-outs exceeded" message suggests.
If you still don't have it, try hitting "Check for Updates" in gear manager shortly after midnight Eastern Standard Time. I've tried about a dozen different times over the past few days, and I was only able to get through tonight, not too long after midnight.
If you have a limited megabytes bucket or a slow connection, getting the 12.53mb mk7 upgrade patch is an easier choice then needing to download and flash the full firmware file that's over 200 MBs. It took less than 5 minutes to download on the phone, transfer to the watch, reboot and install.
If you are a noob like myself or just know you have limited time to play with your tech during all the holidays craziness, timing your upgrade as close to midnight as you can should remain one of them be the easiest ways to have MK7. (I've got that "roll-out exceeded" message as early as 510am each day) As much as I can't wait to try null as well, for now I like the added notifications and of course the battery life is supposed to be much better as well. When everything slows down after Christmas I plan to install null, and will probably get around to rooting my note and trying the stock international rom to have the BT internet tethering option show up in my tmobile phone. If I get stupid ambitious maybe I'll even try the knoxout custom rom install, but I think I haven't played around long enough with Android not to trip Knox or mess something else up.
