Unlocked - I have 2.3.5 update files, will this help? - Motorola Photon 4G

I haven't seen anyone post this yet but I have an unlocked photon and I downloaded the 2.3.5 update to see the files and where they are placed. I found files placed in /cache
Blur_Version.45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US.crc inside is the number 2792078675
and
Blur_Version.45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US.zip
and
downloadfile.apk
weird thing is that "downloadfile.apk" shows up at 0.0kb and after moving it to sd card it is still 0.0kb. It's completely empty!?
The two Blur files show 0.0kb and they were last updated dec 31 1969 at 7pm. then when you move to sd card the .crc file is 1kb and the .zip file is 127,594kb.
I'll get a change to upload it maybe tomorrow if anyone wants to look at it.
after moving the files to sd card the update reminder stopped popping up and showed an error or something about not being able to update blah blah. I'll try to find out exactly and repost. I was thinking maybe we can trick the phone into thinking something we made is an official update. I'm sure its checked at some level though. I'll dig deeper and any insight regarding this would be appreciated.

If you be so kind, I would love a copy of the update.

I'll try to upload it tonight. I tried editing the update and placing it back in the /cache where I found it and it recognized it and asked me to install it but it tried and rebooted and I got an error. It said it could not install. So I guess there is some md5 or some other check done before the install.

Do not flash this if you are unlocked, it will relock and possibly soft-brick your phone, if relocked you will not be able to unlock again. This is not new, we have had this file for a while.

Yeah -- I got screwed by the OTA update, but I *don't* have the update file. Where does it actually exist other than this OP's offer to upload it? I'll just get it from there. I've searched to no avail for 2.3.5 sbf, photon OTA, and other similar searches -- none come up with the actual download. I must be missing the right search?
Thanks for any info.

main version is older!

Ok so I'm trying to flash Clean Rom ICS 1/22 version
I did all the steps they said to in the instructions "I also made sure I had no PH files or I made sure I already deleted them"
I keep getting this
Main version is older!

press <power to rebot>
I then have to take the sd card out, get into recovery, put sd card back in and then USB mount the sd card to erase the ph file that the rom installed..
I'm so frustrated by this.
I was currently running the rom below with a custom kernal

I did the same thing... What I've done is downloaded a few ROMs to my SDcard, but I've edited the .zip before putting them on. I went into the kernel folder, and edited the android-info.txt to match that leaked mainver number. After I saved that file, i went into the PH98IMG.zip and edited the android-info.txt file in there. Now I don't have to worry about getting stuck if I don't have a computer handy to do a fastboot
The next OTA update will fix this big mess, and hopefully we all learn from this lol. I sure have!

.28 Update Failed

I am rooted on .21.
I backed up via RootKeeper and went ahead to install the update. On installation after rebooting, an android logo came up with a red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
My prime rebooted and I got a notification saying update failed and my firmware was restored back to .21 with my root intact.
Now when I check for an update, my Prime says no update was found. I have tried rebooting several times too.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
I am going to try the manual update on this manual:

Download the correct SKU
Copy the file over to the root directory I believe....
But this will erase all your data I think. Which is why I do not want to do that.
Possible Solution!
Okay. So, I was having the same issue. I redownloaded the US version and put on root of my microsd card with same result. Now I was getting frustrated. Just for sh1tz and giggles, I put a copy of the firmware in the root of my sdcard (i left the original in the root of my microsd card also). I then took the microsd card out and put back in. This time i got the triangle notification in the lower right corner notifying me of the update as usual. I pressed on the triangle and it showed TWO files! I picked the latest one by time and date because that is the one I put in the SDCARD root location and....wait for it.....VOILA....it worked. Don't ask me why!

I downloaded the US firmware, put it on my micro SD root, my /sdcard folder, my / folder, and still nothing. Even after rebooting. What could be the problem?
Plus checking for update yields nothing.
See root posts, SparkyM3 has fixed that. Rooted just fine.

I am in the same boat at the moment, factory data reset didn't help either so don't bother.
So how the hell do we update to .28?!?!
Is there anything we can do to redownload the update and try reinstalling?

I just gonna leave my tablet for a day and see if its cause the server is caching that we did a update. I guess if worse comes to worse we could do a downgrade, but too much of a hassle for me at the moment.

That's what I've been thinking too. I may do a hard reset, root, use rootkeeper, and then go to .28....
Lots of time and energy and I'd rather not do that!

I already did a hard reset, no luck
You have to unzip the download which should contain another zip, that zip goes onto your internal or micro SD card.
Problem Solved
I found the problem. You need to unzip the manual update file first and you'll get another zip file. Put that into your microSD card and then you should see the new firmware detected icon.
Problem has to do with the fact that we edited something in the system files I believe.
Once you update it to .28 You'll need this to root again
More information on the issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707362&page=1
Hope this helps!
From failed .28 update to SUCCESS! (But now must reroot)
Downloaded the update manually from support.asus.com (enter tf201 and find ur appropriate version... For me US), and download it to your removable/external microsd card. Extract it to the root directory of the card, and rename it to EP201_SDUPDATE.zip (***if u don't see the .zip extension, don't add it - this means the file manager you're using doesn't display extensions, and if you add ".zip" the filename will end up as EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP.ZIP which won't work)
Once you have the file extracted, renamed, and in the right place, hold down "volume down" + power, and dont let go until it reboots AND you see text at the top of the black screen... Then press "volume up" within 5 seconds to install the update. You should see the "Andy with blue nuclear fission ball" animation as the update runs.
Now go find the .28 root method, reroot, and party on.
Btw, I found this in the "bricked after update to .28" thread, but it works for failed updates as well. Hope this helps.
YOU NEED TO UNZIP THE INITIAL .ZIP YOU DOWNLOAD. THE FILE YOU NEED WILL NOT HAVE UPDATELAUNCHER IN THE NAME! Inside of that is the .zip you want. You can unzip that or not. I can confirm it works both ways.
Put the .zip within a .zip on the root of /Removable/microsd/ or /sdcard/ . Safely remove you sd, then reinsert if you choose to use your removable card. I did not have to reboot.

OK some guys just like to complain. Just read the forums and nd have some patience.
There a lot of smart people here, they will figure out your problem.
I did the manual d/l and then rooted with sparky method, worked like a charm! Thanks for the support fellow XDA'ers!

you can get the global ruu right here.....http://bit.ly/RaKEAr
Thank you! Does this file contain both the firmware and the OS update? I was able to download the OS update just fine on the other page, just not the firmware.
Appreciate the help!
Actually - that zip file contains the same error as the other link. Anyone know of a different location of a non-corrupted file?

Try the update to the global RUU. Found one on AndroidPolice but can't post link here yet. Just google androidpolice global ruu
Android zip files need 7zip if you want to look inside it.
Also check that you aren't renaming it as ph98img.zip.zjp because windows hides the file type by default.
So this was a two part issue! #1) post above was right about winzip not being able to handle the file.
Second issue was that I did not have the bootloader re-locked, which is required for this kind of update. I came from the tbolt which didnt require locking & unlocking.

[Q] Manually update TF201 to Jelly Bean

Greetings All,
I am attempting to update my TF201 to Jelly Bean but am not having any luck. The OTA update failed initially, and now when I search for updates, the tablet says there are none. I then decided to get the update file manually, but I can't get my tablet to discover that the update is present and ready to be installed. Can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Everything I have read thus far says to download the update, extract the zip file (resulting in another zip file with a slightly different name - I am on the WW version of the tablet BTW) to the root of the tablets internal storage, and reboot the device. Once it boots up again, it should detect the update and prompt me to install it.
Regardless of whether I put it on the internal storage, or on the external SD card, I cannot get this thing to detect the update and prompt me to install. I have also attempted extracting the second zip file so I end up with a META-INF folder and the blob. Putting this in the root of the internal storage and the root of the SD card didn't work either.
The device is currently rooted, and has been reset to factory several times during this process.
Any suggestions? Have I missed something totally obvious here?
Thanks!
Edit: Currently running ICS, on the stock 9.4.2.28 build from Asus.

Followed it to the letter. Rebooted the tablet once I had done everything specified via shell and the tablet simply rebooted. Still on ICS. Tried to replace the build.prop as mentioned at the bottom (after backing up my existing one of course), and it still simply rebooted.
Update: After a few more reboots, the tablet detected the update file. Unfortunately, the dlpkgfile I got was the US version (I need the WW version). An alternate download link from the one listed in the link above also gave me the US version (even though the poster said it was WW). Once I find the WW version, I should be able to get this update wrapped up.
I had the same problem.
In my case the solution was to copy the extracted ZIP file to the root folder, rename it to 'dlpkgfile' then reboot.
When it restarted, I then had the prompt that a system update was available but on checking the root folder, the 'dlpkgfile' file had been deleted so I repeated the process above, then clicked the update notification & away it went & did the update normally.
Hope that helps.

I backed up my root from ICS, but when I started VooDoo again, my root backup was gone. Is there a working root tool available yet? Or is JB rooting still being worked on? I've been poking around the forum but have only turned up rooting tools that work for ICS thus far.

Yeah. Same here.
Apparently it can be done by rolling back to an old ICS version, updating to .28, backing up root with RootKeeper, re-flashing JB & restoring root. Seems like a lot of trouble though.
Think I'll just wait until someone meare learned than I comes up with a working exploit...I'm sure it won't be too long.

I just tried doing this several times and on my tablet the update starts but then at about one third in it stops and fails. I have repeated the process 5 times using all the suggestions and even re downloading the file and same thing, I am just going to wait but so far no OTA available yet when I do the firmware update check it just tells me no update available for my device .
Finally tried using Baxbuda's manual method by downloading the firmware from Asus then renaming the file EP201_SDUPDATE.zip and copying the file to my MicroSD card and started the update using the power + vol. down, then releasing the power button and pressing the vol. up and it completed the upadate and I now have JB and so far it is fast and smooth with no issues to report

Tried both of the reported method and I had no luck at all. With the Power+vol down. then releasing power and then pressing vol.up... when is this done?
The following worked for me.
-------------------------------------------------------
To update to new firmware versions for the tablet.
Download the appropriate update from ASUS support website for the TF201 Transformer Prime Tablet
Extract the zip file within the downloaded zip file from ASUS support.
Get an SD card of some sort.
Create the Folder \ASUS
Create the folder \ASUS\Update within the ASUS folder
Copy and Paste the US-epad-user-x.x.x.x.zip file into the \ASUS\Update folder.
Plug the SD card into the Tablet. It will show a triangle with ! in the system area.
Tap on it to start the update process.
anyone managed to root a tf201 with the latest asus jellbean rom on? seems a real pain to have to flash down to the factory rom, unlock, root then install a custom rom.
when i say "real pain" i mean, it's a heap more hassle than trying out a few custom roms on my i9300!

B170 update arrived

So my friend got an update to the huawei XT. He was already at b160. The new update is labeled as b170 which i think it could gain some hope this phone will get nougat sometime (most likely not). The update only has a device security patch. The security is from june 5 which is pretty old but i guess it's better. If someone else received the update post it here
got the notice for update at noon today - but alas, I have mine rooted so it tried to update, and then reset and is back at 160.
and yes, was really hoping beyond hope for some Nougat...
We need someone then to unroot the phone and update to b170 or at least check how to update to b170
See this post and links in it for how we updated before if the phone was already rooted (and for stock phones that can't OTA due to non-AT&T SIM) :

you would need Root and a Root explorer - file manager
you would go to settings / Software update / download the update
choose to install it later
then with the root explorer search your phone for an update.zip
I'm not sure where it's stored I'm looking for that information now
after you find the update.zip file copy it to your phones storage and upload it to your google drive (or anywhere I can download it from)
if you know the exact location the update.zip is stored you could possibly adb pull the file without having root
Update should be in /cache/fotapkg/update.zip

When I get it I'll get all that as well.
The ATT update note calls it B160_B170_SMR_100 , I hit continue when I tried to hit "remind me later" - but it redownloaded.
Ghost Commander shows nothing in the /cache - odd - so I don't know where it's actually sticking it. I'm searching for it both under that name above and also as update.zip and anything else I can think of (by date, since it just re-downloaded)
I'll grab and document all the info on what I got where.
File is in /cache/fotapkg/ but is named package_temp.zip
I have it out, xda won't accept the file that large, trying to figure out how to link that file only to my onedrive so you can get it without access to all my other junk (sorry)

Good deal .. what was the name and path to the update file ?
you could possibly grab it with the TWRP file manager also

OneDrive link to file package_temp.zip should be 102 mb in size.
Got it using Total Commander. It seems to be better at grabbing root files than Ghost was.
Also, one other note - I modified the permissions from root root to everyone so that may need to get changed back (or not - you tell me) to be able to get it to move.

ok my phone doesn't see the file as an update ..where was it located ?
that is the file sent down from ATT to the phone. I have unzipped it and looked at it as well -it's 209MB unzipped. Contains the following files and drawers:
cust.new
cust.patch
cust.transfer
system.new
system.patch
system.transfer
UPDATE.APP
(drawer) META-INF
(drawer) com
(drawer) android
otacert
(drawer) google
(drawer) android
update-binary
update-script
blacklist.conf
CERT.RSA
CERT.SF
MANIFEST.MF
If you can't get the .zip to open, let me know and I'll stick it on one drive unzipped.

Well I'm sorry to report so far I have had no luck installing this thing
I have tried the dload/update.app using the dialer method and the update flashes but you have no wifi afterwords
and the phone still shows you on B160 (cust not updated / system files not patched)
I also tried with Flashify and Stock recovery and used an edited updater script in TWRP and all fail for one reason or another
Sooo the only way we will get this is if someone that has done the update
uses TWRP and creates a system.img and cust.img and uploads it somewhere for me
So I can build the B170_Full_Update.zip
Any idea how the phone installs this OTA zip file?
Is the updater-script failing because of assert statements for cust and system?
Have you had success patching cust and system using the OTA updater-script/OTA zips for the Huawei Ascend XT before? How did you end up getting the cust and system for your B160 Update zip? Probably from a TWRP of someone's updated B160, which is what we need to do for B170 now, I'm guessing?
Thanks for your efforts on this and answering my questions.
