How To Update To Honeycomb 3.2 For Beginners

For those of you who are noobs/beginner, I have found a blog that contains step by step instructions with pictures to show you how to update to Honeycomb 3.2.
http://streakblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-update-to-honeycomb-32.html

All I did with my update was open up the browser and typed the following for the Wifi version and it updated my tablet without any issues. I didn't give it the tag number and it went ahead and updated it without requiring all of those steps. It was done in less than 5 minutes and it's function well.
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A334430
My version was a different number so I wasn't getting prompted to update but was able to update it without needed to move on to SD card and renaming it.
You can watch the status of the download from the status bar at the top, drag down. Once it's complete, the status will change to state the download is complete.
Click on the line that shows download is complete and it should prompt you that an update has been found, do you want to update now. You should click "Yes" or "Update" (forget which displays) and it should start the installation. Once it is done it will reboot and lead you to the Honeycomb lock button after it is complete done.

That's odd, my streak popup a notice saying an update was available, when I clicked on the notice, it open the browser and load the update page with the download button. I downloaded the package and sat there didn't know what to do because it was not an executable file. I called Dell mobility support and they keep.telling me the update is not live until Oct. 7! I had to search around for instructions on how to update.

Do you have the Wifi version or the 4G version. If you have the 4G then it won't work. However if you have Wifi and go to the above link I gave, it will install. Make sure you are fully charged or it won't do anything. My updated without issue directly from the link.

Thanks for the link.

I have the wifi model. Your link take me to a download page. When I click on the download button it download a file with .pkg extension. What then?

Up on the status bar you should see that it downloaded something. Go up there to see how much was downloaded. If it shows that it has completed, click on it and it should tell you that an update has been downloaded and if you want to install. Click yes or whatever option that equals yes and it should start installing.

Wow, I wished it had happened like that to me. When I downloaded the pkg file, it did not run.

Will the download work with GLUNB1A33830 ? that seems to imply a different ROM

You have to make it run. Look at post #2 above where I provided what needs to be done. Once you download, you then have to initiate it.

Mine is B1A133633, and I have not seen anyone else say they have that number. It is a US 4g t-mobile direct from Dell. So is this thing going to update?

We don't know for the 4G TMo version, you'll have to wait and see if the update comes out for you tomorrow. The update we have is for Wifi version only. I don't recommend that you install it. Just give it two days to see if you get the update.

Thanks. I plan on waiting. I just have not seen this number come up before in my reading and thought I would ask about it.

If you are rooted, you will not get the update nor will it install. This is per the Dell website explaining who will get updates. I went right back to stock and then installed the update. This update is only for the Wifi version. Also the "Unlocked" version will also be getting updates.

I have US wifi version but how can i go back to stock & will it erase all my stuff on my streak 7.
can i root again after update?
Sorry if these are dumb questions but thanks.

Yes it will erase all your apps, but not the data on your internal SD card. So you have to re-install all your apps, but aware that some apps may not be compatible with Honeycomb.

Moderator you might consider making this sticky for the next few months for the folks who have stock 2.2 US wifi DS7s

[Q] Bell XT860 stock recovery

I would have posted this question in response to these instructions, however I'm still a noob on these forums, and haven't met my 10 post quota yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255198
My question is will this recovery method work for Bell Canada users, or will it only function for Verizon users?
I've installed AOKP a few months back, and while I enjoy it, I've lost support for some key features; namely HDMI, which is disappointing. When I tried recovering to the stock rom to hold me over until some new features and revisions show up on the mod scene, I found out my system backup was corrupt.
I have found a few downloads to system images, however every one I have found link to files that are now taken down. Can someone upload a current system dump?

I can set you up when I get home later

I'm really eager to find out. Worst case, you could always just flash the bell XT860 radio afterwards and see what happens!

I am way too new at this to try experimenting with untried solutions
I just barely figured out how to root my ph. Still working on how to flash.
Is it the same as installing a ROM?

No, you have to completely reflash your device and will have to re-root it. I think you should give it a go though
You'll need to download RSD Lite and download the XT860 Bell SBF files (they are about 500mb to download). Also make sure you FULLY CHARGE your phone, just in case you run into any issues. I think you can find an SBF how-to doc in the development forums. Please keep us posted.
Are you on Verizon? Because if you and this works, you probably won't be able to use it with them anymore.

Nope, I am on PCMobile without a data plan, use wifi.
I think maybe I'll try a Rom first.

[WIP][*POSSIBLE SOLUTION*] Restoring Missing Apps Post Unlock: Your Help is Needed

As reported by Modaco, it seems that unlocking the bootloader removes some system apps, among them are the Calculator, Flashlight, Ringtone Trimmer and Sound Recorder (and I've seen a report that the Teeter game is gone too).
Now, I haven't got my own One yet, however I do have access to a Canadian variant from work and we've got another one in America running an older build.
It was running 1.27, now it is running 1.28.
I cannot access the data partition, obviously, not even for read (it is not rooted), however using the pm command I managed to discover which packages are located in the preload directory (excluding the carrier specific apps from my variant):
com.android.calculator2
com.htc.flashlight
com.htc.pdfviewer
com.htc.ringtonetrimmer
com.htc.soundrecorder
Initially I thought ODEX files might be needed, but these are located in the data partition and as far as I know there are no ODEX files there (correct me if I'm wrong).
Using Carbon I've backed them up (see attached here), only thing left is to check whether they can be restored and work properly on unlocked Ones. It might not fit every variant, testing required. Perhaps it might even allow using OTA updates.
If you haven't unlocked your bootloader yet, I suggest trying this beforehand instead of the attached files:
Through ADB, use:
adb shell pm list packages -f | find "preload"
Backup these apps using Carbon.
Unlock bootloader.
Restore using Carbon.
Please let me know if this works.

Thank you so much. Flashlight and calculator is working. The Sound Recorder gives me a force close. But it is a beginning. :cyclops:

If you keep getting a force close then pmease try settings-application manager-sound recorder-clear data.
This should help clear up any force closures.
Also fixing permissions will help but quicker to just go through settings

I cannot access the data partition, obviously, not even for read (it is not rooted), however I did spot some of the missing apps in the system partition. I think that if we pull these files from a locked One and push them after unlocking we might not have to rely on flashing a custom rom to get them back.
Edit: or not... I've seen the Camera and have mistaken it for the Calculator... Idiot...
However, and here's the catch, I'm not sure the files remain unaltered between builds. So, here's the to do list:
Identifying the exact list of missing files post-unlocking - there'd probably be odex files missing as well as APKs, which is why we can't just pull these from a custom rom.
Pulling them from locked Ones (assuming they are in the system partition).
Comparing MD5 changes between different builds.
Testing testing testing.
Update: Stupid... this could be even simpler. These are in the data partition, and ES File Explorer can backup the APKs. I'm grabbing them now. We'll still need to figure out how to get the odex files back.
Update 2: OK, I've got 3/4 of the missing apps, the trimmer could not be backed up (attached them). Will have to continue with it tomorrow.
Maybe this tool can help us:

Hi if you want the .odex files back then you could try just taking them out of the system dump or official firmware.

Well, I have current an HTC Sensation, and up until the first ICS update I was stock and rooted, getting OTAs as usual.
Sure, I had to keep a backup of the original recovery and flash it through hboot each time before installing an OTA, however they did work.
I'm not planning on flashing a recovery this time around, I plan on just booting it to install Koush's Superuser and keep the stock one. And if it wouldn't work, just to root and go back to the stock recovery. Until I've had enough of stock :silly:

Its not a bug, HTC has done this purposely so that you cannot update.
And for everyone who says that you wouldnt want to take OTAs anyway, just wait till a nice update rolls around and then you'll be saying different

Generally updates are anticipated and usually a stock version will be posted soon after the ota. Actually the fact that you can't receive an ota after unlocking will save a lot of noobs from installing a new locked down bootloader.
OTAs can easily be pulled from your cache. Someone would pull it and upload it.

I know, I'm not trying to say that it would be there thing to do or the right thing to do, I am only saying in general.
But yes, that is how you pull an OTA, and it definitely is helpful to not accidentally (or purposely) unroot your phone.

I mean the phone is running quite good on 4.4.2 so why change a running machine? But on the other hand... We all like the new cool stuff, dont we? so whats better and whats worse after the update and how can i pull the file without root? So others can use it if they want to.

There is a thread in general regarding the 4.4.4 rollout. While it isn't necessary to update, the phone will keep nagging you to install the update unless you either accept it, or use root to disable update notifications.

What's better? Well it shows 4.4.4 under Android version number instead of 4.4.2
No seriously, the only change I have noticed are : A much brighter flash for taking photos. Maybe the daylight photos have changed too, I honestly have no idea, no real time to test that.
Since upgrading to 4.4.4 I now can connect my phone to my Bravia via Mircast, if that matters to you.
There is a new Dialler app, which is meaningless IMHO, still sucks big time.
And some security related updates have been made, about which I literally have no idea.
No, the phone does NOT run more smoothly than on 4.4.2, it's just same. If you are happy with 4.4.2 then there is no point.
By the way, no, without root you can't pull the OTA zip file from the phone.

All OTAs are located in /cache
AFAIK, you cannot access /cache (even with ADB pull) without being rooted. I could definitely be wrong about this, so you are welcome to try. Once in adb shell, try to 'cd' to /cache and get a directly listing with 'ls'. My guess is that you won't be able to without su privileges, but let me know if that is not the case.
Once you install the OTA, it is permanently erased from /cache, and it is gone forever. I'm not sure why you are interested in pulling it though -- all of the XT1052 OTAs have already been pulled and posted by others. You can find all this in the very link I posted in my first reply to you.
Good Luck!

I have a 870 but I'm forbidden too

I am too, but even if you change it to 900,its forbidden, maybe they locked it down.

I'm beginning to believe we're not getting the update at the same time as the S5, if at all. I still haven't heard any news about it, and I know that the 900a update doesn't work on the Active.

Thing is - 403 forbidden can also be caused by agent number/version that att uses.
Maybe someone can find in old urls which agent is used by S5active-g870a downloads?
Url below is an example -

The only change to SD cards is in the naming convention and adoptable storage. Any app in 5.1.1 must seek permissions to use the SD card for accessing folders. Even if you update to 6.0.1 when an app asks you for permissions, you can select the new renamed SD card and by default the system handles any app storage stored on the SD card. In short, there is 0% chance your gps app will stop working. AT most you will have to redownload maps or re-grant permissions to that folder.

I was looking over this again today, I noticed that the original link I posted for you to try had an extremely wrong base band version.. Which is where i was breaking myself on the PA4 to PF4 on the G900. Someone wanna try the second link with an active WITH Samsung browser, and let me know the results?
Original(bad): https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/42925/1488/SS-G870AUCS4CPA2-to-U4DPE3-UP
Try this: https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/42925/1488/SS-G870AUCS2CPB4-to-U4DPF3-UP
Someone else mentioned trying a different "agent" so then you would replace 42925 with 48698 in the link base on an old update link? It also appears Samsung is at least trying to get the S5 line on a consistent base band number from what i gather in the support articles
900A: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00036623/
870A: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00051365/
Also, the update, if the right links will likely factory reset your phone. and MUST be applied from SDcard.
Anyway, this is my best guess without an 870. Lemme know if anyone has success.

I was looking over this again today, I noticed that the original link I posted for you to try had an extremely wrong base band version.. Which is where i was breaking myself on the PA4 to PF4 on the G900. Someone wanna try the second link with an active WITH Samsung browser, and let me know the results?

Try this: https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/42925/1488/SS-G870AUCS2CPB4-to-U4DPF3-UP
Someone else mentioned trying a different "agent" so then you would replace 42925 with 48698 in the link base on an old update link? It also appears Samsung is at least trying to get the S5 line on a consistent base band number from what i gather in the support articles

Also, the update, if the right links will likely factory reset your phone. and MUST be applied from SDcard.

Didn't work for me. Tried changing the agent code too. no luck. I kept getting access is forbidden errors.
I'm also on OJ3... Don't know if that matters or not. If anyone has access to an PB4 update that'd be great. I'm not in the US anymore.

Bummer, sorry. I'm totally guessing at this point, I don't have an 870 to mess with, so just going off best guesses based on other info available.

I have pb2 which I think it's later than that before they seem to go backwards

Would be cool if someone in US could fetch the update file

Anyone know where to download G870AUCU4DPC1?
