D3 UPDATES SYSTEM,KERNEL, and BASEBAND

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
-smc

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?
I got an OTA update for my Droid3 today.

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?

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.

When trying to reboot theres no error just gets stuck on att loadup screen. In odin fails after nand write start
on the phone it says sys recovery check fail :no version
SECURE MAGICCODE CHECK FAIL : boot
my guess is I need the gs5 active firmware but I cant find it anywhere any suggestions?
Im guessing the phone isnt letting the firmware go through because its meant for a different mode.
thank you for the quick response

Is it safe to assume that the product name shown in download mode is the same name as the firmware because if so, the firmware is sm-g870a and I can not find that anywhere.
Also would it be reasonable to request the firmware in the general android section?

I recent purchased the sm-870a (ATT S5 Active). I'd be happy to dump my firmware if anyone still needs it. My only request is that someone who is a mod point me to the preferred tool/procedure and also verify the dump does not have any personally identifiable information on it. Id hate to find out that I dumped private keys or passwords or some other tid bit that allowed someone to screw up my account.

Ahh if only I saw this 6 hours ago I just sent my phone into samsung to get it fixed. I think that many many people would appreciate you if you were to do so. you should probably make your own thread for this, there's definitely someone who will be willing to help you. if you manage to do it thank you.

I have the G870A as well. I got stuck on the boot logo after root but held the power button to force a reboot. You could have also forced a reboot to recovery and tried to wipe cache and reboot. If I get into this problem again I'll let everyone know how I got out of it.

Hey, not sure if this will help, but it looks to be a start...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...mctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=264947724
It'll allow us to basically dump the partitions in our phones. However, there's no way I can think of to turn this into an Odin tar file (unless its as easy as compressing as tar?) but this might still be useful If I see anything else, I'll let you guys know

How long does it take to get 5.1.1 OTA?

AT&T released 5.1.1 a couple of weeks ago, and I still haven't gotten a notification on my phone that the OTA update is ready to be installed. I check manually every day, too, but every time it says that the "update was interrupted" and I have to wait 24 hours. Is that because the server is busy and I'll just have to wait patiently as the update is being rolled out to AT&T phones over the air? (Yes, I know I can simply move the date forward one day and try again manually, but I don't want to inadvertently mess up the automatic OTA checks.)
I would really like to install 5.1.1 on my S6. Is there a way to speed things up? Is there an official AT&T image I can install through Kies or some other way?
Thanks!
--Ron

Make sure you have at least 4GB of storage free when you try the update. I have heard of this sort of thing happening if you don't have enough free space.

I had read that, too, but I have a 64 GB S6, with some 30 GB free, so that's not an issue.

Same here
i'm not sure why i'm not getting the update...i have an unlocked galaxy S6 at&t version.
i'm living outside the US so i'm using another sim card. Is that the problem?

I also have an unlocked AT&T S6, but I live in the U.S., so that shouldn't be an issue either.
--Ron

I know the feeling. I have been checking daily too and finally got it late last night.

Does root effect updating from SmartSwitch?

Still nothing (10/13). Is anyone else seeing the same thing? Should it really take weeks and weeks before we get this update after it's been officially released?

Don't know what to tell you other than the basics.. The correct file is available in the android developnent portion of this forum.. Download make sure you put all four files in proper slots in odin and hit start.. Should wipe everything and complete unless you using the wrong model of s6 or the wrong files in the slots.. Honestly nothing is worth losing root though in my opinion.. I only want 5.1.1 so I can use. Xposed but without the ability to root the update is meaningless to me and really more of a regression to me.. But no it won't trip knox

I downloaded the correct file, unzipped and I did these 4 files, which put in its proper place and time to flash the firmware gives me error.
I'm in the OF4 version and have not received the update by air today. I restored the phone several times to see if I update and nothing appears. I searched around in various forums and can not find the solution
I bought the galaxy used and I'm not sure if the USB cable is original. Anyway, I've tried other cables and various USB ports. The last thing I did was to restore the PC and start from scratch ... it still did not work for me
I am very good at following tutorials. I have not damaged a phone or electronic equipment and has not gone bad in the process, I always get everything right, but it is the first time you see me in this situation where I can not find the solution
I think it's the cable. Anyway, where I live not sell the USB cable separately. Buy by amazon and I'm waiting for it to arrive, but if not the USB cable and anyone knows anything please help me

Make sure you. Put phone in download mode. I overlooked that when I was a noob

Finally bit the bullet and just flashed the 5.1.1 update using Odin. Very smooth process. My phone is running 5.1.1 now. And with Google automatic backup, it didn't even take that long to set up my phone again.

[ROM][WIP] Flashable Stock HTC 626s Debloated 2.27.651.6 (Sprint/VM/Boost) (9-2-16)

Info:
This is a custom stock rom that is only for sprint devices (Sprint/Vm/Boost). It was made using SuperR's Kitchen. It is rooted and I tried to removed as much as I could. This is just a work in progress so there will probably be more that I will remove and will replace some of the apps with updated and better versions based on user input. Also included for those that wish to make their own rom is an decrypted rooted stock. I have tested these extensively, but as always make a full backup before flashing and do a full wipe just in case. I am not responsible for any damages or loss of data that may occur from flashing these roms.

Let me know if there are any problems/request you have I'll try to do my best to fix them as quickly as possible.
I would like to thank @Captain_Throwback for all of his help in making this rom.
*updated links 9-2-16

Nice! I'm downloading now. Thanks for putting in the time. Can't wait to check it out.

Let me know how it goes. I still have some work to do on it. Wasn't really sure what some of the files were. I'll be running more test to see what else I can remove and still have it boot. Wan't to get this as small as possible. If I removed anything that breaks something important let me know. As I said I'm not a dev and this is my first attempt.

No doubt. I have no problem putting it through the wringer. I'll let you know if I find anything, as well as any fixes that may work. I'm stoked to get back to my 626 and get to flashing!

I'll keep an eye on this. Just got the phone in the mail and noticed the extreme amounts of bloatware. Can't wait to root Dx.

Everything seems to be functioning correctly so far. Nice, lite and responsive. Flashed well, maybe 3 minutes total to complete. Boot up took even less. As of this post, no FC's or hangups found.
Solid rom! Thanks again!

Finally a rom for the sprint variants! I'll be giving this a try, downloading now. I hope it solves the low memory problems....

Removed most of the apps that were causing problems. Have another version that I am currently working on that will have the updates included and a few more apps removed. Only problem is this phone is very hard to make flashable roms for. Most attempts end with a boot loop. Still not giving up though.

A few things I have noticed: first is the HTC Account apk was missing so I couldn't sign in to install themes. I fixed that by downloading it from Google Play and making it a system app using rom toolbox pro.
Secondly I'm not sure if our phone has a magnetometer (compass) I would think it would have one. But it's not working.
Other than those 2 issues, this is a solid rom. Good job man. Keep up the good work.
I'm trying to get viper4Android to work but it keeps telling me my busybox installation is broken which it isn't.
Might wanna see if you can include busybox in future updates. Just a suggestion.

Oops, sorry noob here, got the 626s desire but connected to the bell network. if this is a sprint rom i guess i got to go back to rooted stock? The rom boots but hangs at activation. am i correct?

Unfortunately until someone comes up with a rom for your variant, you'll have to go back to your original rom. I hope you made a backup before you installed this rom.

I have the boost mobile variant and I still can't get twrp to work only Cyan recovery anyone know anything about getting two to work I used captainthrowback

Maybe I should learn how to read better. Is new so started off the bat with nothing on it so no backup I did with it. Worst case is I'm screwed lol.

You might not be screwed. Try searching the HTC website for an Ruu for your carrier. Once you find it lock your bootloader, then let it run its magic. Should return you back to stock.
@Sinister Drake I removed a lot of HTC stuff as I didn't think most people use it. If I do remove something you really need and can't find let me know and I'll re-add it.
As for busybox it does come pre-installed. Why some apps find it and others do not I can't really say. Doing a busybox check does show it's there.
Now as for the compass that is a issue that worries me. All my research says this phone has one, but it doesn't work even on my recovery. I need to know if it was something that worked on stock or if it was just false reporting by HTC, so I can narrow down the problem. It shouldn't be a problem with my rom as it is taken directly from the RUU, but I cannot be for certain until I get more feedback.

You know I screwed myself and went to quick because I had it rooted with twrp and oh look debloated firmware without paying attention to the Carrier, Doh! You know what silly, I called HTC Canada because bell is a Canadian outfit and they apparently don't supply ruu's like the states does. Oh well my bad 200 smackers later and a new phone. I guess on the bright side I can root it lol. Maybe one of the excellent developers will somehow create a bell version.

New version = https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzHOZHL6ZwXhRWxZNG4zc3lDSWc Removed an extra 200mb now total over 600mb freed. Also, updated the OP with the list of apps that have been remove. As always if I removed something you want and can't find let me know I will add it back in. Been using this version for a few days and found no errors, but make a backup just in case. Report any error you find I'll do my best to fix them.
Working on updating the apps to free up even more space. After that I'll be replacing some apps with lighter versions. Once I get any significant build I'll post it.
@kindlefire39 hopefully you can find someone else that has this phone in your region to make a backup for you. Once you get that you can easily use suprr kitchen to make a debloated version.

Is it possible to backup my new phone and use super kitchen? Or am I out in left field? I could be the first one with a bell mobility variant.

Once you flash a rom it overwrites the one you currently have installed. That is why it is good to make a backup before you flash. Out of curiosity have you tried to flash Captain_Throwback's rom? Its for metropcs but if you can get your phone to boot you can call your phone company tell them your phone is on a different carrier and you need the codes for the phone to work on their network. If you do get it to boot some things might not work, like the wifi, but it can get you through until you can get a proper rom/backup. Try posting in the help section asking for someone to make a backup of their phone. Heck even try asking anyone you know that has the same phone if you can borrow it for a bit to fix yours.

You might not be screwed. Try searching the HTC website for an Ruu for your carrier. Once you find it lock your bootloader, then let it run its magic. Should return you back to stock.
@Sinister Drake I removed a lot of HTC stuff as I didn't think most people use it. If I do remove something you really need and can't find let me know and I'll re-add it.
As for busybox it does come pre-installed. Why some apps find it and others do not I can't really say. Doing a busybox check does show it's there.
Now as for the compass that is a issue that worries me. All my research says this phone has one, but it doesn't work even on my recovery. I need to know if it was something that worked on stock or if it was just false reporting by HTC, so I can narrow down the problem. It shouldn't be a problem with my rom as it is taken directly from the RUU, but I cannot be for certain until I get more feedback.

When I installed the rom I did not see Busybox, I installed it from google play. I'm still trying to figure out how to get viper4android to work to no avail. Maybe you can add it as a system app with the rom. With that being said, I've learned that another thing you have to do to get it to work is to use the selinux changer. with a quick google search you can find it elsewhere to download since it is not availble on google play anymore.
I do have to give you props though man, you're doing a fantastic job developing this rom whilst not being a developer. Kudos to you brother.

Is it possible that you could provide the apk for the HTC clock widget? I really dig the flip clock style. I can install it myself, I just dont have the apk for it

Sorry what I meant is I got a second phone because HTC Canada couldn't help. I just bit the bullet. So with the new phone can I make a stock backup or through twrp than backup? If I have a stock backup, than I could custom it and delete apps that you did for yours in your list.

Tethering... android 6.0.1

So I've been rocking a Nexus 6 since it dropped, and I'm a Verizon customer with unlimited data. I use my phone as my PRIMARY source of internet, because where I live no one will even offer DSL.
I had been running a 5.x version of android but decided I probably should go to 6. I flashed a stock version of 6.0.1 build number MOB301
I looked and read everything I could about trying to re-enable the tethering options in this new version and the threads are full of crap. Absolute garbage threads with 5 pages of 2 people arguing. I looked all over to see if someone could simply explain it- but nope. I need some help, hope someone will come in and save the day.
I tried to edit Build.prop like I did before- it said NO. I got errors related to no storage space, but I deleted youtube app inside system (other suggested it) and it still says no, but for a different reason.
I need either a simple explanation of how to get tethering enabled- or link me to a ROM that has it already done, so I can just flash that instead.
I am rooted and unlocked

Sorry to waste time, I finally figured it out- For some reason ESfile explorer could not edit it, but I tried a differnet text editor and it appears to be working right now.

Could you post your entire process for everything you did? Soft-bricked a friend's phone doing the whole build.prop so I need to check if I missed something

I've found it easiest to do using adb in recovery.
