Software Update file

Hey
Where is the software update actually stored on the device? (The 8/4/2011 for the LG Revolution).
Once updated, can yo install CWM? Can it be rooted?

Just hang out, it will not install through cwm. Thecubed is going to be working on it.

I actually wanted to tinker with the Software Update file and see whats inside. I wanted to know where Android downloads it to on the filesystem.
I'm sure TheCubed will figure it out with CWM

It is in /cache/fota. It is a 70mb bin file.

Go into settings-about phone-update status and download the update. Do not install and check in that folder.

Yes. I assume you don't have cwm if you updated?

What are you trying to find? You can adb pull whatever file you are wanting to check, then check it against the old file to see what has changed.

It possibly could install by changing it to a zip file but who knows what it would mess up. With recovery items in there it may mess up cwm, that is a little above me without doing more research into it.

He's right. Installing the update without removing some stuff from it first (like it's new boot.img and the "installrecovery.sh" script) would possibly softbrick your device.
Decrap2 will take a while to do since it's gonna take a lot of work to apply this update to my ROM (gotta flash back to stock and apply the OTA, then deodex and then remove bing all over again...)

i didn't have it installed on my phone when I updated the phone

I'm confused- do you have CWM installed? If so, there's no way you could have applied the update yet...

I have two revolution devices.
One was stock (as if I bought it from a VZW store), the other one was with CWM.
The CWM with Decrap on it. (giving lots of issues with the launcher such as missing icons, etc)
Stock is on the latest LG update.
CWM is on the OEM release

To backup the root... Do you just run the app?

My plans are to learn how to successfully flash a rom without bricking the phone.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app

I'm backing up my root, getting some nice tweaks, trying out the Batakang ROM, and gonna learn more about development...If I'm smart enough lol

My plans are to add a reboot toggle and the 1% battery mod. I already saw Dan's root method for Jb but I kept running into errors. When I got to adb shell near the last step no matter what I tried it would tell me no directory of that name so I might wait until a one click root shows up. Shouldn't be long now that we actually have a root method.

As long as you can booth into Linux just use Copy/Paste the whole time and pay attention when you have to create the password. This was super easy imo.

You never know what can happen. I was with the atrix 2 community about two phones ago and all there needs to be is a brave soul to root it and Roms will start coming. And the sooner it becomes rooted and unlocked(and we already have root now) the bigger the community will get. Ive seen it happen. Dont count the AHD and devs out so soon

[Q] recovery help htc one

hey guys i am new to rooting, unlocking, and installing custom roms, i have one problem i am bootloader unlocked and rooted but when i go to install a custom recovery, it tells me in the command window that it was successful but when i go to enter it, all i see is the htc logo and it says entering recovery but after 10 seconds on the screen the phone shuts off and does it every time, does anyone think im doing something wrong. iu really am stuck on this one and i tried to install both types of recovery.. maybe the root didnt work?????

You don't need root (super user) to flash the recovery. Try again. Make sure htc drivers are installed and the phone is recognized by the computer. Also, you may have had a bad download of the recoveries. Try downloading again. I just used the files from the sticky Q&A thread and my recovery install was very quick and painless. Good luck.

Long hold power and volume down. It should eventually take you to bootloader where you can select boot to recovery and restore a backup. If you don't have one, do an adb sideload of a known working Rom .

Its funny they specifically put the model number and said it was supported. I would bet money that it does not work at all and they are just a shady group that should not be trusted.

I would wait for a video link to see if it works before anyone tries

I don't see the model number listed there. I wonder if someone just got overzealous with adding S5 variant model numbers and corrected it.
*edit* I see it now, I had to do a search. Hmmm... I don't know how this snuck under the radar if legit.

Loki is an instance of being able to use a custom recovery w/o unlocked BL. Coming from an i337, you begin to assume boot loader unlock isn't likely.

did SRSRoot install the SuperSU if so check your settings "Application Manager" in settings, if SuperSU is installed as a user app it will be listed in the "Downloaded" section if it is installed as a system app it will be in the"All" section.
or run a file explorer like esfile explorer that will allow you to view the /system/app folder (you cant write to it but you can still read from it) check and see if Supuser.apk exists in /system/app, if it does that means that at some point the srsroot app is gaining R/W access to system.
