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

this is what was updated from what i have read.
Baseband changed to N_03.18.29P
Kernel changed to 2.6.35.7-g790a33c [email protected]#1
System Updated to 5.6.890.XT862
here is the BIG news to date:
*** Gtalk has allow video option in it now
1st link
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/55749?start=15&tstart=0
Motorola thread started a new on to see what was changed.
as i im writing this they took down the 2nd link but i was able to get the new versions from it that i posted at the top.
great news, can't wait for google talk with video
Yeah same thats awesome news, with update comes root also lol

I was just told by Verizon there is an update ready now. Not here yet though; just checked.
I asked because of the radio issues Im having. As I read there are others with some sort of problem like stuck in 1x, no 3g, calls not going through and even swapping off a network extender to a tower. The list seems to go on with these type of issues.
They said if no other phone or a signal detector other than the Droid 3 looses service where I do, then they'll give me an option for different device. What a load of CRAP!! Hopefully this baseband will fix it all for good.
I was just on the phone with Verizon last night. They're sending me a new phone as I'm having problems with GPS. They told me they don't have any idea when an update will be released.
As for an update ready, there isn't anything on the Motorola forums and I haven't seen any information about a soak test which Droid-Life is usually quick to post when the email goes out from Motorola to participate. I did see the link above so hopefully its sooner than later.
One more got the OAT, possible to grab the update.zip?

Is there a way of recovering deleted data from an sd card? The update.zip might still be accessible if it hasn't been physically overwritten.
Recuva works - who do we get to check for the update.zip?
The post said it was written to a cache partition we dont have access to. You would probably have to do some kind of man in the middle to catch the update.zip before it gets to the phone. We should probably find a good tutorial on how to set that up for anyone else that gets that update.

I second Recuva. I use it to recover deleted files as well so that may work out....
NetworkMiner / Wireshark / port-mirrored switch should take care of that. I've got a setup already in place. Any chance of capturing the signing keys and putting them to use?
EDIT: does any portion of the update require the cellular connection as I cannot snoop that data...

Does this include a radio update, and if so will it override our radio hack that gives us free tethering by tricking the system into thinking all data is from the phone?
wwwDOTdroid-lifeDOTcom/2011/08/31/droid3-update-pulled-from-moto-servers-adds-gtalk-with-video-and-other-bug-fixes/
BY GOLLY WE'VE GOT IT!
(Replace the DOTs with . I can't post links yet ;P)
If you are getting an OTA most likely there is an SBF as well. Please someone who hasnt updated go download the Motorola Software Update program. It should download a file that you can use as a stock sbf to return to.
https://rsddownload.motorola.com/download/Motorola_Software_Update.exe
the2dcour: I tried working the rsddownload server for about 3 days prior to going for the OTAs instead.
Issues:
- I was never able to trigger any downloads via Moto's software, no matter how I tried to tweak it.
- Or by using the lookup API directly (https://rsd.motorola.com/cs/servlets/SRPConsumerServlet) discussed here: http://and-developers.com/sbf (NOTE: This works great for overseas phones) -- The main issue being you need to pass in 2 values (flex and firmware, or flex and apiflex) from the phone which will bring up a list of matching SPF URLs. For the North American phones those 2 values are sort of obscure.
I think if you get more eyes on it tho, we could come up with some way of grabbing an SBF, but it will take some brainstorming. Also, I think once you get a URL back to the rsddownload site, you have to hack a username/password to actually download it.
Here's a fairly recent Chinese Blog about some guy grabbing a file from the Moto RSD site via the API. But, there again he's using an overseas phone where the info you need is literally on the "About Phone" screen.

Hello all,
Okay, I'm a total noob when it comes to the LG Revo. I had my D1 and my DX and I worked it all out and had it setup and rooted just fine, but the LG and this OTA ZV8 update is killing me. So here is my dilemma.
First I don't get the lingo...clockworkmod (CWM) = boot screen/command screen, right...like dos kinda?
Second, flash? What is that is that where I hold power + volume down button to get boot/command/dos screen, when phone is powered off?
Okay now for the good crazy stuff. I had my Revo rooted, got the update, failed. Figured it was because the root was on it, so unrooted to push OTA update, still fail...is still epic failing and is getting on my last nerve, so badly I'm ready to throw my phone...and I've never wanted to that to my babies (phones). Anyway, unrooted still failing update.
Was on another forum where very nice guy gave me stuff to do, tried it however, when did the "Flash" it only wiped my phone and put it back to stock. Had phone plugged into computer via USB...tried to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583023 but after phone wiped didn't know what to do. This is where I am now, with a wiped phone and this has been since 9am pdt.
Hope this all makes since. Can anyone offer any help here? I'd like to get my Revo back up and running and I'd really love to get my apps back on so I can function.
Thanks for understanding and your help is greatly appreciated. Oh, please talk to me like I'm a noob lol...Or I won't get it, I promise I will do my best and try not to sound as dumb as I feel right now.
Thanks &
*Edit* I forgot, I read somewhere that in order to use CWM the phone had to be rooted so I couldn't've flashed to it anyway? Is that wrong information?
The reason why your update fails is because you haven't taken off CWM I'd point you in the right direction but I'm doing this by phone

Had guy here try to help me but we got lost with the zv7 it wouldn't let me upload from the site linked here. As I'm running 2.2.2. He said I needed to be on zv7 before I could get to zv7. Anyway all is okay so far will try this again this weekend.

Ok... here is what you do to get root. Follow that thread and install the v8 tot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386
After the lgpnst program completes (around 20min) successfully you will be running the latest v8.
Once that is done. Connect your phone set the usb to internet and turn on debugging from the settings | applications | development section and then follow this the instructions in this thread. Unzip the file and run the bat file and follow the directions in the command window.

As for clockwork mod (which a basically is a program that can be run before android loads that allows you to make low level system changes, when you make these changes it is called flashing) I am not running it on my phone but I am sure someone here can tell you how to put it on your phone running v8 rooted.

Typed "." with both just the dot and then again with the quotes and nothing. According to my computer the file is on C:\ but I can't find it in LGNPST there. And it's not in any of my other files that I can see.
I think I did something wrong...But I followed it exact. Becoming very disconcerted with my Revo.
At that point you should explore into the directory where you put the .tot file. Copy the location, go back to the LG tool and paste the directory location. It should allow you to open the file. If you have any problems please respond.

Ok, so moving along on this lol...I've followed all of the instructions. Downloaded, uploaded, installed, copied, pasted, created new folders, dragged and dropped everything it told me to do.
This file "C:/VS910ZV4_04.S4_04.P58008.R5.user.tot.bin" is only showing up in my computer as a shortcut, not as a file. This is after researching and finding it on my computer. Did I do something wrong? Am I downloading an incorrect file? I'm not sure where this particular file came from as, everything else is as described in the "how to" threat.
I think I may have figured it out. Will get back to you. Thanks again!!
*EDIT* Was told to use VS910ZV7_10.S7_10.P58008.R5.tot ... did...it updated...now to see what to do next. That other was was ZV4 and the one I just updated to is ZV7... woot wish me luck...manually pushed zv8 update...no failure this time...it was successful. yay!

Now for this part. It's not rooting. And yes, I have ZV8 on my phone, now. I have a root-required app on my phone just to test to see if it's rooted and it keeps saying that it is not. I'm such a noob, I know. Sorry :-/
I have a refurbed Sprint Galaxy Tab SPH-P100 that I bought off Woot. It's off contract and I use it as a wifi-only device.
Firmware 2.2
Build SPH-P100.DJ14
From my understanding there have been a number of updates to this device from DJ14 to DJ30, EA24, EB28, and finally the Gingerbread.EF17
I've looked around and it seems most people receive the updates OTA via 3G, but some also got it over wifi. All have cited saying they've received notifications about the update, but my Tab hasn't received anything, so I can't update. When I manually click on update firmware, it'll run for a few seconds and give me an unknown error. And when I click on Update Android it'll say "your system is currently up to date."
If somebody knows how to solve this or maybe direct me in the right direction that'd be greatly appreciated!

Download that and rename it update.zip and put it on the root of your SD card, then boot into recovery using volume up and power I believe and choose apply update.zip
If that doesn't work let me know and I'll give you the Odin download. If you want rooted gingegread let me know before you do any of this since you will have to re-download the rooted gingerbread instead.

First of all, thanks for choosing to help me Jazz.
Okay, so I tried what you suggested and it began to show the unpacking animation but ultimately ended up giving me a / ! \ sign.
What I'm wondering could be the problem is...do I have to do stepwise updates starting from DJ14 > DJ30 > EA24 > EB28 > EF17?
Or is it okay to apply the EB28 update while I'm still on DJ14?
But that's just a guess. Anyway it's stuck on that exclamation point and doesn't seem to be proceeding. What should I do? Thanks!

Ok ya that's what it is but if your there you can reboot nothing installed so you should be fine. But you might have to update using Odin but this will factory reset your tablet because I can't find a link to update you to every firmware using recovery.

Okay. Thanks for the help. I'll try the Odin method. Is there anything I should know about Odin or is it pretty straightforward? I'd be okay with a factory reset.

Download and unzip that Just make sure you have your correct drivers installed.open the Odin that's in that zip, Boot into download mode and plug it in to the computer. Make sure you see a yellow com box pop up in Odin it means it detected a device. Click pit and search the pit file you just extracted and then click PDA and select that EF17 firmware and just hit start

Okay thanks! Everything seems to have worked. Thanks for the guidance jazz. I wasn't sure if I would be able to follow the other guide without having the latest version. Cheers!

So fast forward four years and here I am with this same question. I haven't the slightest idea how many updates have rolled out since then! I'd like to update my sph-p100 to be more current and while I'm computer savvy, I'm not "modification/programming savvy"
I also have a nook color and have been tossing around the idea of turning it into an android. I'm confused on some of the steps. Like 2-10 lol! Is there a link to a KitKat image (I think that's what it's called?) that I could save to that little chip and then pop into the nook, like how you suggested him to do to update his? I would appreciate it!!!
By the way, I'm a newbie on here, and you were my first. My first post that is. Lol, little humor for your Monday
While I realize it is relatively few to SPH-L720, I wanted to make a thread specific for the update ending with NAF for the triband variant,
the SPH-L720T.
While you may argue there is already a thread for the update, most of the userss are L720 not L720T, so the questions from L720T users keep getting drown out by others.
First order of business, though it has been asked but it has gotten no reply that I am aware of, has anyone gotten the OTA for the triband variant?
If so, can it be uploaded and distributed? It will be interesting to see if all the problems such as the sd card and rooting are the same.
I have the "T" model, and no OTA for me thus far.
I have rooted and installed some xPosed apps, but no custom recovery or rom. I'm hoping for 4.4.2 this week or so

I also have a 720T and haven't received notification of the update. I actually kind of regret my purchase of the 720T. I waited about a month to buy the 720T instead of the 720 because I figured I might as well "future proof" my purchase, but it seems most of the 720 mods and such don't work on the 720T. And with the S5 coming out, I think we'll be left in the dust. (I hope I'm wrong. My last phone was the original Evo and I loved how many different mods/roms/etc that had.)

(I left off my last paragraph, oops) I'm sure we'll have the same issues with SD Cards since it's part of the new Android standard (or, newly enforced, at least) and root exploits would normally be fixed independent of the radios.
It's crazy that I haven't heard a single person on the 720T getting the update yet... has anyone done the google services framework clearing thing yet? I know it jacks stuff up but I'm thinking of trying it soon.
i tried it. no luck.
GOOD NEWS!
Following the advice hhere: http://www.androidcoliseum.com/2013/01/how-to-get-your-ota-update-faster.html
I got the update after the 5th try. If someone will help me to know where to find it on my phone I will upload it. It's 401.2 MB.
Yay! My phone is rooted ... and I have a custom recovery .... so the update may not work....but here's hoping!
Bleck my phone is at 18% so I have to charge it to be able to even try.
Found the file will be uploading soon

Click menu / settings / apps
swipe over to the "All" category
scroll down for Google Services Framework and click it
click "clear cache" and "clear data"
hit home
go into your dialer
type in: *#*#2432546#*#*
wait for the notification "checkin succeeded"
Now go and try checking for your update.
Just go to the application manager, clear the data for the google services framework, go to dialer to type in *#*#2432546#*#*, check for update, repeat.... I've got the file about 50% uploaded
Got it to work, but the update errored out. I'm rooted with xPosed running. I guess I'm gonna try a restore tonight

Thanks but I'm good now. Hey if anyone has problems installing it that rooted it and used the xposed app, you have to flash the xposed disabler in the root directory with a custom recovery, that fixed it for me. Finally, got my kitkat!
Crap, stuck at Sprint Spark Screen... getting Set Perm: Some changes failed
So I dont think its compelting so I'm getting stuck at the sprint spark screen
Well Im just going to go ahead and do a total factory reset and flash all stock firmware...I mean it sucks, but I've only had my phone for two weeks so not a ton of data I'm going to lose...
I uninstalled the Xposed framework from within Xposed, and it seemed to work. I just can not get the OTA to re-download now.

Im about to do it through odin should be like a brand new phone at that point. I didn't have a ton of data, I backed it up, we'll see if it actually works though... lol all I want is to use tap and pay. Once I install it, Ill root it again and get where I can make a wifi hotspot for free and that's all I care about Just realized that download place sucks. Im uploading to dropbox right now
FINALLY! lol Got it working
I uploaded the update file, and it should be in your cache. Stock recovery can install from the sd card as well. So if you lost it for some reason I uploaded it a few posts above

OK...I got the 4.4.2 file and working on the 4.3 stock.

Anyone know if theres a way to get this back? Using the original sql edit i can get the title, it doesnt work though, does the rest of the original process work? I'm up for giving it a shot as long as i can be assured it wont blatantly brick me.

There hasn't been much talk around here about the download booster since G900AUCU2AND3 was the latest firmware about 6 months ago. You'd have to downgrade back to NCE and do some other tweeks before you can get that running without losing your GPS or Camera. There is a guide somewhere around here for that. So on lolipop right now, no.
And that nova launcher tweek doesn't really work either like some people claim. It only unhides the feature but doesn't get it to actually work.
I had it working on 4.4, was just wondering since like you said theres not been much talk.g900v has it so maybe port it from there?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
It worked in XDK but that was based on a g900f rom which is why I assume it worked. Perhaps I'll need to do this to get it working again. I'll try to look into it but I have so much on my plate I can't promise anything yet.
Ahh download booster is in AllianceROM which I'm running right now. So this seems to be the case. Just wait patiently. It'll find its way back eventually

This Link was the original guide to install Download booster. I'm sure there are updated methods to installing it, so you should search for those. (I followed this guide, but had some issues so I just stopped using it.)
Anyways, follow the guide all of the way to the end. Then open up Rom Toolbox Pro, or similar app. Locate RTBP's app manager, then go to the Settings.apk, tap on it, then go to "Advanced Freeze"
Scroll down until you see Download Booster, tap on it to Enable. (It is disabled by default.)
Reboot phone and it should work... for a little while. For whatever reason mine keeps turning off. I guess I should have used the files that were updated for 4.4.4.
Common sense would indicate this (but I'm lazy) but if I had to guess, Just download the 5.x version of the files indicated in the guide above and then enable download booster in the advanced freeze menu. It will probably work then...
Hope this helps.
P.S. I'm pretty sure you won't have to downgrade. But if you do, I suggest that you refrain from doing so. In the end, it will only be an @$$ pain.
P.P.S If someone wants to smali these files on the 5.x firmware for AT&T I'll see if I can edit/recompile them for download booster. After that I will need the 5.x Download booster.apk and I will try to write a more comprehensive guide.

Make a backup before you do anything
1) Just follow the link I posted earlier, with exception that the files come from a more recent ROM (i.e 5.0).
2)Be sure to copy/install them to the correct location.
3)Then use whatever app that allows an "Advanced Freeze/Unfreeze" and Unfreeze the Download Booster.
*****Example*******
I have Rom Toolbox Pro, so I would open it. Then tap "App Manager." Then scroll down to "Download Booster," tap on it, then tap "OK" to enable.
Then I nav to the corresponding folder, rename old files to "services.jar.bak" and so on, Then paste/move/whatever the new files into the directory.
*****End Example*****
Once again, I should point out that I have had issues trying to use this. The booster would randomly crash, and other times it would just disable the Activity completely, I'm not sure why it did that though... So I just gave up on this until I can find the updated files.

I have the notion to agree with this statement. My Idea was to take a peak at these files and then add the necessary lines to the AT&T packages, to help ensure compatibility. Then bundle in the DB.apk and viola! (Or, at least in theory it should work... right?)
I just need to find the files in the first place. If you can somehow provide a link the the VZW files, I can try work on it... no guarantees of any kind though.

I had some issues with rom toolbox, so i replaced the services.jar with this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/vziudszmba2l9zm/services.jar (I did backup the original) and rebooted, planning on finishing the process with rom toolbox on boot, but i got stuck at the AT&T logo screen until the battery died, i'm not sure which file you were referring to, but i either used the wrong one or you need to activate download booster immediately after replacement of the file, either way i'm going to have to reflash so anyone else be advised. Didn't have a backup sadly, worse things have happened though.

One of the reasons why AT&T has the download booster disabled is because it's not fully compatible with their software. I got mine working a while ago, but had issues with private mode, hotspot, gps, and camera. It just made the phone too unstable, the reason why the original poster as well as the others from that thread got away from it. It worked best on NCE, but after upgrading, there were too many issues that were never resolved.
