I know this won't effect most people, but I know it has others. So, just an FYI for all the chefs and lay people, there is a massive problem (supposedly anyway) with EVERY FroYo leak that Samsung has put out. And as a result, it seems to effect all of the custom roms.
What is it? The android_id number is the same on EVERY device with that rom. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is if an app (like Kik Messenger) uses that ID as part of other things.
How can you fix it? Here are some instructions (assuming you use root explorer):
Using some sort of root file explorer, copy the /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db to your sdcard.
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /sdcard/settings.db
sqlite3 /sdcard/settings.db
insert into secure ('name','value') values ('android_id','device_id_goes_here');
.exit
copy /sdcard/settings.db back to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/
touch and hold on the file you just copied and click permissions. Make sure that the ONLY boxes that are checked are user/group read and write. Uncheck any others.
reboot

Make sure to change the bold part of the command. This can be just some random 16 character hex value.
Props go to Hanness for his original post that lead me to a solution.
For chefs, here is a bug report about it.

I wouldn't have offered up this solution, if that actually worked. Tried it on even a stock rom, and it fails. So, no, you can't. It doesn't request SU permission till AFTER the app tries to make function calls. Which causes the whole process to fail. As such, that app does NOT work to fix this. And SQLite Editor doesn't work either, because it doesn't seem to see a DB in the folder.
I spent lots of time yesterday (had to flash back to stock when I broke it) and a bit today working on this till it finally did work.

Lol how you gonna tell me it doesn't work? I use it everytime I install a custom rom. I have to use it because if I don't imobsters doesn't work and I always play that game. If it doesnt work for you you have to get busybox from the market and install that then use android id changer. So yes you can.
One more thing you do is get your original android Id that you have on your stock rom and use that one with it.

What error are you getting? The process I use is dloading id changer onto the working 2.1 rom. Open it. Copy the id (exactly as it reads) onto a paper or other source. Dload id changer and busybox onto new 2.2 rom. Open id changer, type in old id. Click "change id". Has worked flawlessly for me every flash. Thanks for providing an alternate method.

Hate to be "that guy" but I just installed Android ID Changer, typed my old Android ID in to the app and pressed change. Phone rebooted, android ID changed. I'd dare to say that it works.

Hello friends .. Sorry for my poor English .. Turns out I have an American Tab Galaxy (Claro - Argentina) and inexperience try version 2.3.3 upgrade to a European, JQ1. but at the end of me flashing the screen goes black and only the lights .. Someone can tell me the steps to revive the Tab? Since I saw several ways, but which will not correct .. I await your responses .. Thank you very much!
Greetings!
First, this is a development forum, how you even posted here with only 3 posts is beyond me... Your question should have been asked in *gasp* the question/answer forum.
We need far more information from you in order to give you an accurate answer.
1) What is the exact model number of your tab
2) What did you use to flash with and what files did you attempt to flash?
3) What state is your tab currently in? Does it show ANYTHING when plugged into the wall with the stock charging cable?
Hope we can help.

Dude, I've tried very hard to hold back on you, but enough of that. I'm obviously attempting to handle this, and you had NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE TO ADD. You're just *****ing. So calm down man, you are not this forums policing body... and the fact that you have broken english makes it a little worse, because it's hard not to laugh at you when you are trying to yell.
Chill out, please, for everyones sake. You are not helping anyone. In fact, some people would label you a troll.

My apologies friend, the truth that I was complicated by the English, so all this ..
Start from the beginning .. My Galaxy Tab is the GT-P1000L, originally came with the P1000XWJK1 version, but I try to install the Kernel v1.4.7 OVERCOME, and there comes the problem, because when you turn the device did not work the touch system. When that happened, what Hise was updated to version P1000XXJMQ once update finished with Odin, the team only lit buttons below, but the screen did not light .. After that, the upgrade to the version P1000LVJJM9 of America, he returned to light the screen, but stays in the logo of Samsung (I leave 1 hour and still the same) and that's it .. I can do?
Thank you very much!

Typing in caps is usually taken as yelling or screaming. Then you had two posts when editing the first would have been fine. But not just that, you really had nothing to say that contributed to the conversation, it was just ranting really, about something I had already addressed.
My mother used to tell me "If you don't have anything productive to add to a conversation, then stay out of it." ... now if only my hall monitor of a boss would abide by that rule.

Kosh is correct, your Tab isn't dead, yet. You actually have a Latin tab, not an "American" one. Follow the guide he posted and you should be going on your way.
In the future, try to remember the fact that you have a P1000L ... This is important, as not all kernels and ROMs will run on this version.
You may want to hunt around and try to restock the tab. ... I can't believe I'm about to suggest this, but perhaps if the link above doesn't flash properly you will need to use a firmware from samfirmwares.com ... just be very wary about flashing, it can be dangerous.
If we can help anymore, let us know!

And yes, I have no idea how he managed to post in the Dev section... Maybe a MOD needs to look into that.

LOLD ... yeah maybe i need to do so , but its 5:02am here and i'm really going to sleep .
I was running .5.893 and wanted to update to .6.893. I reverted to stock .886 and applied forever root. I then installed the cheesecake app and went to staging and selected the first server. When I checked for update, it said I was up to date. Is there a way to flash the update without cheesecake, and if so, does anyone have a link to the update files?
EDIT:
Here is a solution provided by thejdog55 below. Thanks jdog.
Here's what I did:
Nandroid
One click back to stock and root/forever root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...62&postcount=1
Download this: http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/d...tml#post106190
Copy the file to SD card and boot into CWM and flash that. It will get your system up to 5.5.893, and reboot.
DL this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=450
Copy the 5.6.893 file to SD card and boot into STOCK RECOVERY(power down, hold volume down, then power on. Hold both volume buttons while in fast boot and press the power button)
Click apply zip from SD Card, make sure you choose the 5.6.983 file, it's going to say 5.5.893 so you may want to delete the 5.5.893 system zip so you don't get confused.
Nandroid again, this way if another update comes out, which 5.7.893 was just found, you can just restore to this and update instead of having to go through the whole process.
After it's done boot up and then you can boot back into CWM and restore your nandroid you made in the very beginning. The 5.6.893 updates the LTE radio mostly, but it seems to correct a problem 5.5.893 was having when switching between modes and losing data connection
The bootloader unlock research thread and Cheesecake thread have a lot more information, so I'd say read all of that before doing this because you don't want to mess up. If you don't really understand what I'm talking about RESEARCH! A lot! Rootzwiki and mydroidworld forums have a lot of information as well.
Hey dude, questions go in general! Not to mention, there are about 100000 threads already talking about the same thing. Maybe search before you post, and read!

Gee with all the policing of threads you do, you would think they would make you a moderator already. Although maybe the fact that they have not should tell you to calm down a little. I have looked for threads, and searched. I have not seen anyone with the same issue of no update being identified.
You constantly tell people to search when the issue they are raising has not been raised before. Please think next time before you flame someone for the thousandth time. I am sure many people feel the same way.
someone has put up a link to the newest update, it is out there if you read through the pages
the method to use it is also out there for you to find if you read

It is amazing how many people have time to go around doing nothing else but criticize people who cannot find the information they are looking for.

Ive looked in that thread too, and the answer is not there. Unfortunately, some people would rather be a**holes and tell someone to search than to be helpful. I guess for them it makes them feel better about themselves. If I find the answer ddv, I will let you know.
has nothing to do with making myself feel better
it has everything to do with being tired of seeing the same questions asked over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over...

Yes I have read all the posts.
Listen its not about not wanting to help, but there is an ettique to follow. Do you stop at a stop sign even if no one is there?
In that thread there posts pointing everyone where to go if they didn't follow instructions, and how to fix it.

I can use the search button. What I cannot do is find an answer to my problem. You have responded twice, in neither case did you provide any help, but only scolded. If you were not going to be helpful, there is no reason for you to respond. Therefore, the only reason I can think of is that you get some feeling of joy being superior to others, and insulting them. Good for you.

This is the one I have been checking. It is where I was previously able to get the update. Now it says I am up to date. And thank you for actually trying to help. I can assure you it is not just me and ddv who have been having this problem, and there is no place where a solution is easily found. If we can find the answer here, I can change the OP to let others know what to do. This will actually help avoid extra threads. But where the solution to a problem is contained parts in different threads, including threads that are hundreds of posts long, many people will not be able to find a solution.
Here's what I did:
Nandroid
One click back to stock and root/forever root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17920962&postcount=1
Download this: http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ate-zip-system-only-886-893-a.html#post106190
Copy the file to SD card and boot into CWM and flash that. It will get your system up to 5.5.893, and reboot.
DL this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18859427&postcount=450
Copy the 5.6.893 file to SD card and boot into STOCK RECOVERY(power down, hold volume down, then power on. Hold both volume buttons while in fast boot and press the power button)
Click apply zip from SD Card, make sure you choose the 5.6.983 file, it's going to say 5.5.893 so you may want to delete the 5.5.893 system zip so you don't get confused.
Nandroid again, this way if another update comes out, which 5.7.893 was just found, you can just restore to this and update instead of having to go through the whole process.
After it's done boot up and then you can boot back into CWM and restore your nandroid you made in the very beginning. The 5.6.893 updates the LTE radio mostly, but it seems to correct a problem 5.5.893 was having when switching between modes and losing data connection
The bootloader unlock research thread and Cheesecake thread have a lot more information, so I'd say read all of that before doing this because you don't want to mess up. If you don't really understand what I'm talking about RESEARCH! A lot! Rootzwiki and mydroidworld forums have a lot of information as well.
Is there a way to do it?

Just install Windows XP in a virtual machine and pass through the USB device. You might have some luck with wine. I haven't tried.
I've tried Wine, wouldn't set up properly.
Would I need to have Windows or a special version to use a VM?
I've got a spare hard drive, I would just install Windows on that if I had a copy.

This tool is using nvflash, so is working with NVIDIA-based phones only. If you have such one, go on!

Although this thread was resurrected yesterday, @MilkyJoePD originally posted this back in May. Also, the thread you pointed him to is a Windows only tool, and he was asking about the ability to do this from Linux.

All I see in that .zip file is a Windows batch file, a few .exe and .dlls and a load of zip files to be flashed onto the device.
Also, back in the days when this thread was first created and the question asked, all we had was v1.0 - which was an unsecure boot, a couple of old kernels and superuser - no way at all to flash KDZs with it.
I don't want to get into an argument with you, but it really does help if you sometimes check back on the dates that things were posted before criticising someone.
This was the exact menu structure from the version available at the time;-
1- Root
2- Unlock Bootloader (For JB EUR-xxx Devices)
3- Flash TWRP Recovery
4- Flash Un-Secure Boot
5- Flash Secure (Original) Boot
6- Flash CWM Touch Recovery
7- Flash Original Recovery
8- Flash Gmod-Boot-Menu (Not Recommended In This State!)
9- Flash Kernel
x- Exit

He stated that WINE didn't work for him previously.
Also, a hell of a lot of development took place for our device between May and August. I know you weren't around here, but I got my 4X over a year ago so have seen all the development changes almost from the first day.

Ah. And, forgive me the stupid remark: What was the topic of this thread? What did the OP want to achieve?
Besides, same issue here. I'd really like to put a custom ROM on my O4X. And to have CWM on it. But "Justin Case" I need a way to flash the original .kdz images on Linux. And no, don't start with things like Wine or VMs. It's stupid enough that one has to buy a Windoze license to maintain an Android device. Here is M$ free zone, the only Windows I have are for light and fresh air.

first of all, the way mentioned to flash kdz is through the lg support center. did u see any lg support center for linux based os ? so u cant complain here for the windows its lg fault !!!
so for the lg support center to work, u need wine or virtual machine to run windows.
now if there is another way to flash .kdz in linux based os, i'd wish to know that way too.
<<EDIT>> and forgot to mention, since u get all the way and unlock the bootloader, u dont really need to find a way to flash kdz. the worst case scenario is if u cant boot and cant go into recovery. u can just re-flash the recovery which is about 4 seconds work. its lame to go flash back all the stock recovery and rom if u gonna go again for a custom.
kessaras, I didn't blame the community. My point was just the question being for a way to flash .kdz using Linux, and the recommended tool didn't cover that at all. But don't we start a flame war here: I fully agree with you it's totally LG's fault. I wonder why most (not all!) manufacturers come up with their own proprietary formats, which all require OS dependent tools to be managed in an official way – while it couldn't be too complicated to support the update.zip variant, which would be completely OS independent (and work wonderfully, as all my tablets prove with stock support).
Re-flashing the stock ROM is still required if you need to send your device for service, and for that we need a way to flash .kdz. So let's get back to that topic

Wine is a finnecky "tool"; while the OP might've stated that "WINE didn't work for him...", I appreciate the comment from the Ubuntu user that he DID have success with WINE and the "LGFlashTool". I realize that this is a year-old thread; while I'm sorry to post to it a year later, I do hope this information helps someone else running Linux. Here's a screenshot proving that it IS possible to run the "LGFlashTool" in Linux (WINE) on my Fedora20 PC:

Depending on the Linux distribution, and the architecture of the system (64bit is tricky), you might have to look at the errors, if any, when running it from a terminal. I'm sorry but at this point I don't exactly remember the exact steps for the procedure; so, it may be straight-forward as far as wine goes.
I have to say, though, I may have jumped the ship on saying that "it works". I got the GUI to run among other things, but I wasn't able to get the file flashed. I gave up after 3 tries, and used a WinBlows7 laptop. Sorry to get your hopes up; however, I'd like to know if you or anyone else gets this thing to function correctly in Wine. Sadly, it always seems much easier to just use a Windows PC than having to debug Wine.
I know I can wipe and flash the system image or dirty flash, but I'd rather sideload OTAs, to be honest.
If I had been patient for a few days I wouldn't be asking because the OTA file floating around would've taken me straight to MRA58R, but I sideloaded K.
I know there's an OTA from K to N, but is there one from either of them to R?

I know I can do that, as I said in the OP, but I was looking for an OTA path as I stated in the title and OP.
I'm not rooted, bootloader is still locked. I'm not unfamiliar with the process of flashing the system image. My OG Droid was running Bugless Beast and my Asus TF201 was running Paranoid Android. I just don't want to go that route with this phone. I want to go with OTAs, even if I have to sideload.
Why. Lol. Waste of time.

so.. if you were walking to a location, and it happened to be on the other side of a cliff, and someone built a bridge there for easy access, you would still prefer to walk all the way around? flashing a factory image is the same thing. you dont need root to do it, you can be completely stock, and will end up completely stock. if you dont know how to do it, is one reason. but, you can always learn how to, it is not difficult.
Thanks for answering the question I actually asked, guys...

My sarcasm is rooted in the fact that I acknowledged their solutions in my OP, said I was looking for the official OTA path and didn't want to use the other solutions, and then either things I said in the OP were repeated as if I didn't say them or alternatives were suggested as if I didn't say I wasn't interested in that path. It seems as though my OP went completely unread. If you opened your eyes you could read them in my OP.
I also figured the path I'm interested in may also be of help to people not comfortable with unlocking their bootloader and performing a complete wipe and flash.
I figured I'd help the community by asking a question that hadn't been directly asked and people would be interested in.

oh, i read your op. and there seems to be some confusion written in it. as its why you were answered to flash a factory image, as that would get rid of your confusion. but, some people dont wish to take the easier and quicker step, and i understand that as well. so, youre going to be stuck waiting for an ota. oh well, life goes on..

Root your phone, that's the easiest way that way you don't have to monkey around with the aforementioned senarios you described, you will save yourself a lot of headaches.
Just go to N and wait for next update. The R is the Verizon 6.0 plus the N security update.

R isn't only VZW. It's only VZW that's pushed R. The repository has had R in it for several days.
But, yeah, everybody else is on N so there should be an update for R soon.
Any noticeable changes from K to N?

Rooting isn't necessary for flashing system images and will actually prevent you from getting OTAs.
I got a Nexus because my Moto X 2014 on VZW isn't going to get Marshmallow. At this point I want official updates without having to back everything up, wipe, apply the update, and then restore. I just want to apply the OTA (either actually Over The Air or the simple process of sideloading) and not have a headache mucking about with everything else.
none
Well i don't think you will have to wait too much longer, as you know the Google phone is always first

I know. I'm impatient. LOL The N6 has been taking surprisingly long to get OTA updates even though the images have been out. It's not like it's not having updates produced, just issues rolling them out.

I would never have a phone and not be able to root it. Do you listen on your headphones? the volume is so low, with rooting the volume can be adjusted, you can nuke all the bloatware, and the flashing you mentioned and backing up, all that can be done in 30 minutes and if you have a rom you like you never have to change it. And the Deved roms are so much better than the stock ones. Better batt life, custom kernels and the the list goes on and on, but everyone has their preferences.
The N6 can be rooted in ten minutes
