Other than a new bootloader - I don't see any changes either.
My Zune froze at step 9 but the phone seems to have updated successfully fortunately!
New bootloader = no custom DFT rom probably. They were just initializing to crack 2.1

Same here...until now, no errors found

Clock changed to an extra hour earlier! Date changed to 7th July

Strange date changing like that and time too ^^ Date & time ok on both my WP7 handsets, Bootloader has been updated as you mentioned above to same number, No doubt there would have been other changes as it took ages to update, Wish they weren't so mysterious with their updates, Think we have a right to know seeing as we shelled out enough for our phones.

Updated without problem.
No date or time change like mentioned above.

I got error message 800700B7 during the backup process of the phone
After that the phone will restart with no Firmware upgrade. I do have to mention that my Titan did some random restarts 1-2 days ago and asked me about my live id again. I am not happy with this phone. Also got the Wifi Bug and noise cancellation so nobody can hear me correctly.
Model = Titan, UK, unbranded.
I think this shall be my last HTC. My HD7 lasted not even a year before the volume rocker broke.

I wonder if this updated bootloader/update is specific for each device? Or if it will be pushed out to every device?
Do you guys all have unbranded devices? -running the 8107 OS version?

Ok nevermind...
Should've done a little googleing
http://www.wpcentral.com/unlocked-international-htc-titan-receiving-software-update

I have the same issue, wont get past stage 7, making a backup, it just errors out.

I've just updated my unlock TDC without any problems, nor problems during backup.
as written above, I can neither see something new

A hard reset did help although it is far from ideal just couldn't be bothered to wait for a solution.

I plan on skipping this one in hopes of a custom ROM. For some reason I doubt the new boot loader will make it easier for the DFT team.

hmmm... I have unbranded Titan and I don't have any update pop up on Zune. Is it because I'm in the Philippines(Region dependent?)?

Yes, I'm a huge n00b.

Hi there!
Well, despite the huge warnings in red colors, I installed the official RUU 2.1 update. My HTC Hero is now with 2.1 and works fine, but I would like to install a Spanish language pack (MoreLocale doesn't works). Yes, I know I could wait to the WWE version but... The mistake is done. So, my questions are:
1.- Could I rollback my firmware or try to install a custom rom? How? (I tried Goldcard + Previous version without success)
2.- Could I install a spanish locale?
Thanks in advance and congratulations for the great job you're doing today. How many roms in less than 24h!
This is a so-called 'WE TOLD YOU SO' situation..
But, have you tried an old RUU package?
Yes, and I can't install the previous one. I also noticed that my bootloader version is newer (000004 before, 000007 now).
It's suposed to be possible? (install the prev. Version, I mean)
Maybe with the goldcard method, but not guaranteed it will work.
Ok, I'll try later again, but I'm not sure if this is gonna work, because I tried it twice a while ago.
Thanks!
Good luck
Tried twice with the GoldCard method (I did it well, because it worked when I updated) and I get this error:
Checking Main Version
Update fail!
And in the RUU installer:
Error [140] Error bootloader version (or something like that)
Suggestions?
Wait for someone who is able to root the new rom...sorry...

hi, i'm just a noob like you, i had to do the goldcard method, it didn't work the first time, but to make sure i was following the tutorial, i had to print it, and follow again, and then it worked, make sure you pick up the right one for your phone. and start from the beginning again , i'm sure you'll get it to work at the end, don't give up. just go through what you doing step by step, you'll find what was wrong.
Ok, I'm trying right now. Will post results.
Thanks!
hi, i've loaded my first custom rom,the new villainRom 10, wow the phone is very quick, plus pinching the main screen the new feature, great.
first i didn't know which rom to use, had to go with what btdag got. all the credit goes to him on a great tutorial plus villainRom great rom.
downloaded the new radio, haven't installed it yet. got to do more reading first before i do, to be on the safe side. goodluck uniyah hope you got it sorted.
cheers to all the devs and tutors
Well, I tried the GoldCard method for 15 times. It just doesn't works. I think it checks the version and give me this error.
One question: Is possible to install the Spanish locale?
For now it's just impossible to root the new 2.1 because nobody has done it yet so for now you will have to wait... However, the Sprint Hero had been rooted a few days ago so I think that it won't take ages to root our Hero...
Try MoreLocal in the market for installing Spanish...
MoreLocale doesn't works.
So, there is nothing I can do for downgrade? Any other Goldcard methods or something like that?
I don't think so... In my opinion some guy will find a way to root the new rom but you will have to wait...
As you have seen Gold card doesn't work...So the protection against root has changed...
New HBOOT probably denies installation of lower version than it already is on the phone, thats why you can't run any of the previous RUUs. Tough luck
Rooted 2.1 official rom's are out now try vilain 10 but be careful when flashing the radio because i just bricked mine flshing it :'(
Brrr, and I can't get into recovery mode. I get this when I try to put the phone in recovery mode (Power + Home button)

MR4 update for the Eris questions

As some of you know, MR4 is set to roll out in stages starting today (July 16th) and is said to have many updates. Here is a list: Click
Does anyone know if this maintenance release will fix the "Silent Call" bug?
Looks as if that pdf is incorrect. The way that is describing its 2.1. I think Verizon forgot to update that particular pdf.
MR4 update is not Froyo. It should however fix the silent call bug on the device. I care not anymore as I have root, but it is still indeed going to be 2.1. I don't think the Eris is capable of having Froyo with HTC sense uploaded into the device. It might be too much for it, and that's ASSUMING that VZW will get the update sent out correctly this time.
Shadow
Just root and get KaosFroyo!
I already know it isn't 2.2. I was just asking if it would fix the particular bug I was talking about...
I actually called customer service and they told me it was rolling out on July 16th and my device would get it within 7 days. I didn't think I would get it 10 minutes after getting off the phone with her! I am now on MR4. Only time will tell to see if this "Silent Call" bug is fixed.

its kind of impossible for anyone to answer your question since youre the first report of someone receiving the update that Ive read ........ so how would anyone know?
of course the only way someone will know is for a person who likes to come to forums and ask alot of questions about will this do this or this do that to actually capture the link when they do the d/l so that the devs can pick it apart
this way instead of just asking questions that are impossible to answer..... the person might actually provide the information to make receiving an answer possible
just my 2 cents early morning rant

The OTA .zip files which are downloaded from a Google server are not signed the same way as the RUU "rom.zip" files - they use the app .apk manifest signing method. (manifests and certs a la "jarsigner").
If you are interested in looking at the process that HTC/Verizon uses for the OTA updates, you can get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:
Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone
$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt
This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:
W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip !!!
Then, take the name of the file and paste it on the end of android.clients.google.com/updates/partner, for instance, for the Eris 1.17.605.1 OTA, the complete url is:
https://android.clients.google.com/updates/partner/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip
Note: because the 2.1 release is so vastly different than the 1.5 release, an OTA (if that's the way VZW/HTC rolls it out) for that will probably be very different than a patch release like this example ... but it would still be very useful for anyone who gets notice of an update to capture the URL using the "logcat" method shown above. There might be "interesting" tools included that could be exploited.
I don't think this will help get an "early OTA" - I'm not sure that hboot/fastboot methods can make use of an "update.zip" with an unrooted phone. Someone can correct me if I am wrong about that.

Sorry, I didn't know. I just though it would be some information that I missed. I know I'm new here, but you don't have to treat me like I'm an idiot. Jeez. =[

I was just wondering if anyone who has gotten this has tested the root methods to make sure they still work, or if Verizon has patched them.

I bought Z4 prototype model - What now!?

I bought second hand z4 from some guy who work for Sony. How to flash normal (not prototype) rom in this device? Everything works fine, Camera., Apps, Android os is 5.0.2 kernel 3.10.49, everything is smooth, but there is anoying message "You have crash artifacts to upload" all the time!? If I cant flash normal rom, is there any method to kill that message? Thanks..

I believe that sticker talks for itself and my advice would be not to be so open about this transaction.
In any case unless you have an EMMA account with relevant privileges you can't do much.
If you are lucky enough and Sony enables OTA updates for customer acceptance firmware applicable to the variant you have then at least you might get a firmware update in the future. But if you have as you say the crash handling app installed then probably you have an quite old FW which might not get any OTA.
Is there any way to instal new firmware without OTA? I think for z4 actual android official version is 5.11? If i kill process com.sonymobile.crashmonitor.system and com.sonymobile.crashmonitor.ui anoying message "You have crash artifacts to upload" is gone. Z4 is alredy long time on the market, so stickers now dont have much point anymore?

The last part is something you need to discuss with Sony but I don't believe a prototype unit on the loose is something they don't take seriously.
If I were you I'd ask the seller to take it back and refund you because as I wrote the only option for updates you have is either EMMA access with the proper permissions to download customer acceptance firmwares, someone with such access to give you the firmware or sony to enable OTA for customer acceptance firmware. The latter happens some times.
With the current firmware you have you can of course kill as you said some processes to get rid of the crash monitor app and notifications but there are still other debug bits enabled. If the firmware has root access enabled - there are such debug firmwares and you can check that from adb shell with su - you can clean it up a bit more.
That is all I can provide as info.
Solution is very simple. I download latest firmware 28.0.A.8.260 with XperiFirm and flash with flashtool and everything works perfect! No anoying messages anymore, nothing..

Prototypes have a different bootloader so you can't flash retail firmware on it and vice versa.
Up to Z3 tablet this was valid also for tablets, if they changed that in Z4 then you are lucky.

Now i'm on my pc, i can see your signature. looks like your version of the phone has a lot options in stock recovery than the one i'm seeing. I have the tmobile variant (also know as Tmobile Revvl 5g) in US, the recovery is stripped down more. Hopefully Tmobile would push out the update.
Anyway you could provide the files for this ota or pull it somehow?

I've not installed it yet and was mulling over doing just that.
Suggestions? I assume it's retrieved by a system app so for the most part out of reach.

Thank you for posting I just downloaded to look around the zip file. Has anyone here figured out how to correctly extract the OTA Firmware boot.img from boot.img.p file and try to patch with Magisk? 7z opens the boot.img.p as an archive. When running the file in magisk it does not recognize it.
Loosin hope on this phone so far no root .. the potential this phone could be doin if it was ... Just a shame smh tcl

Good question, it might be possible.
Issues I've had with 11:
- YT Music sometimes thinks its offline, only started when I installed 11 and its definitely not offline.
Another bodge I've had to do is disable absolute volume due to a BT speaker but thats the speakers fault (lowest gain is too high).
OTA released, Jan 2021 to May 2021 PL.
Received the OTA for Android 11 this morning (T-Mobile Revvl 5G variant)
Also received this OTA on both of my Revvl 5G devices. Getting the gut feeling it might shave an hour of SOT off, but didn't have enough time with 10 to properly compare (the OTA auto-installed). Didn't note any major differences/issues with the update otherwise.
To update. Compared against the 6B6XUMX1 that the device shipped with, the Android 11 OTA drained 10% overnight and reduced SOT a measured 2h. This is with a fresh wipe and minimal app reinstall. I'd avoid for now.

AT&T G8x never received an update - G850UM stuck on Android 9

Hi all, I have a G8x that I got shortly after launch from AT&T that's never been able to receive an OTA update.
I've read online that an AT&T SIM is required to get updates, which I have. The OTA update menu just says that I'm up to date, currently on Android 9, software version G850UM10f
LG Bridge seems to connect to the phone, then says "Cannot check the software version. Try again." - I've tried every way I can to make it work, phone restarts, different cables, you name it and LG Bridge doesn't seem to like this phone either.
Do I have any options to get an update? I'd prefer not to flash it but if that's my only option I'm not completely against it. Does anyone have a good guide to do that, and where I can get the latest Android 12 firmware image?
Thanks in advance!
Keep it on 9. It's a great OS. If you go to the mess that's 12 it will suffer from the effects of cpu cycle sucking scoped storage among others horrors. Pie was the zenith for Goggle Android... in my opinion.
Rule #1 - if a OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be!!!
You're probably right, it's working fine. I just get a little worried when I see that Android security patch level from September 1, 2019!
I've been ignoring it for this long, I'll probably continue to ignore it until I get something newer. Still, just doesn't feel right!

This N10+ was last updated Nov 2019, current load is over 2 yo, still fast, stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue.
Don't sweat it one bit but be ready to reload if needed; keep critical data redundantly backed up. A factory reset will purge any rootkit on Android 9 and up. I never had to reload my device because of malware though, it does very well.
Using Karma Firewall*, Package Disabler, I watch all downloads and especially installed apps**, wifi and NFC always disabled. I primarily use Brave browser and will backout, shutdown the window, browser, whatever, if I get on a really bad site... occasionally had to clear the cache. Email is always kept in the cloud.
I also use the setting change which blocks ads globally and some blacklisted sites.

You need a active AT&T account,not just the sim card.If you have that,all you have to do is call tech. support and let them add the IMEI so it will push the update OTA to the device.Fairly simple!
