I see an OTA is available for Verizon. Does anyone have the update.zip file? Im using TWRP and cannot find it anywhere..
THanks in advance
I have downloaded the OTA and have not applied it yet. The only thing is that I do not know what the file is named and I do not know where on my phone it downloaded to. I do know that when I go to status in the software update section of settings, I see that he following file failed to download at an earlier time. HTC_HTC6600LVW_3.09.605.2_R_3.09.605.3_R2, but if I search that file name using Es file manager, I do not find it. If someone knows where I can find it on my phone I will gladly upload it. I also need to find it so I can use TWRP to install it.

I believe that it will have to be repacked and signed and Im not sure how to do that.. hopefully someone will know how to..

Not sure about about the free version, but I know the paid version of Titanium Backup has the option to create an "update.zip" file which I had assumed would have been able to be flashed from recovery. I tried and it didn't worked because it complained about not being signed. I know I should have thought of that, but it occurred to me I have no idea about how to properly sign a zip file. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
check thread # 709117 on xda-developers.com
I'm new and wasn't allowed to post the link, even though it was not an "outside link"... don't know why, but anyway, its on-topic to update.zip

I know that the HTC android kitchen has a tool for signing. It's somewhere in the Android dev general or software thread

As previous Title says...
Did you check thread # 709117 on xda-developers.com?
Thanks for the tip about the thread. No, I had not seen it but have already pretty much got the info contained therein thru email I've been exchanging with the app dev. At present, it seems his update-script does not play nicely with A2SD.
Can't post in the Dev section yet. That's what I get for trolling around since you guys showed me how to root my OG Droid. Thanks, btw.
Now, I'm trying to root my Tbolt, and when I click on the downgrade RUU file to see the contents it says the file is invalid. So, then I tried to extract it, to see what would happen, but same message.
I also downloaded the exploits.zip and the final PG05IMG.zip and was able to view both their contents. Plus, I had to extract the exploits file to the SDK directory, and it worked fine.
So, I then downloaded from all three mirrors, but same result. And then I went to the rom.galaxysense.com site and downloaded from there, but same result. Am I the only one having retarditis? Is the file jacked, or just run-of-the-mill incompetence on my part???
Thanks to whomever takes the time to help out. And thanks for all the help everyone puts out there for the rest of us.
I am confused by your massive amount of words in this post. You need to say maybe, 20 things total.
First, you don't need to open anything, you simply need to put the ZIP onto your SD card and reboot into Hboot.
The only ZIP you need to unzip is the exploit.zip.
I don't need to extract them, I get that. I was looking in the zip files out of curiosity, but when the one file said it was an invalid file type I didn't want to put it on my SD card. That's closer to 20 words, hope that makes sense.

haha, I was feeling like being a smart ass. The RUU needs to be renamed to PG05IMG.ZIP and put on the sd card, then you need to reboot into bootloader.
Also to add, I came into the problem where I renamed to PG05IMG.zip It was already zipped so just had to name it PG05IMG Then it worked for me.
Thanks for the help. I guess no one understood what I was saying, but since no one else has mentioned the file being corrupted I guess I'll use it and hope for the best.
That's why I mentioned that the other two zip files would let me look at their contents, but the third one said invalid file type. I thought it was clear, but my bad...
Either way, here's another post towards getting out of noob post restrictions!

I'm pretty sure that the RUU downgrade is not something you can open. Just make sure the checksum is valid and you're good to go.
I had tried to flash the RUU after I first rooted becuase I was having location issues. It would check the PG05IMG.ZIP and go back to the Hboot screen. I had flashed another rom so I didn't mess with it any further.

Finally! I've been looking through threads forever in search of this very issue. I was all set on rooting last night, and just like you, the Mecha_RUU file wouldn't unzip, said it was invalid, etc. I stopped right there out of fear that I'd get burned pressing on with one of the key files "broken." Have you rooted since with no trouble?
The best thing to always do is get an MD5 sum for the file and compare it to the root post. I have rooted my thunderbolt twice now and never had a problem.
If the md5sum is correct then you should be fine. Also remember in Windows, it hides the extensions. So when you rename your files do not add the extension as it is already there.
You can show the extensions by changing the folder settings.
Downgrade wont flash
1) Power down phone
2) Power up phone holding volume down
3)No option to upgrade just starts checking files
4) Third check is the downgrade file, starts loading
5) Fails because the file is Older than the main
Ive seen other threads touch on this but no one answer it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Also I have already updated to the 7/8/11 OTA.
Thanks,

as in "MAIN VERSION HIGHER" error while flashing?
Not sure what exactly you are trying to do but read this post where it discusses about getting that error.

I appreciate the thread link. That's exactly the error I'm getting. Problem is I'm supposed to downgrade to obtain root ( or at least that's one of the steps). I have downloaded this downgrade file from multiple links and verified its the correct one to use in this step and I always receive the "main version higher" issue. Should I be using a different file to downgrade or is this no longer an option for root since the 7/8/11 ota?

Interesting..
I wiped everything ADB and Thunderbolt related from my PC.
Then I downloaded the easy root from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005292&highlight=easyroot
Then I downloaded and opened the pdf instructions on the same page.
Then I followed the written directions to a T!
Worked like a charm. Steps 1, 2, and 3 hung up and had to be done multiple times but I finally got through it. Some other links if found with this same method were misleading as to doing the steps over again but he accounted for this in his pdf instructions and if you follow it to the letter you should be good.
Hello,
I'm trying to install Bell's gingerbread update for my Atrix but it appears I'm missing the / preinstall / app / "Gameloft_3games.zip" file. I have the bell system dump downloaded that contains all the apps and other random stuff but I cant seem to find the gameloft_3games.zip file. Can someone help me out here?? Maybe share their file with me or maybe tell me what the zip contains so I can try and build a new one?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue, I've tried OTA and offline install, also tried modding the update zip to remove the gameloft_3games.zip, but the file is signed and the verify fails...
apk files
I tried creating a zip file and inside of it, I put the apks of the 3 demo gameloft games that came stock with the phone. It didn't work, So I tried making another zip and I dumped every single file in it from the / app folder renaming it to gameloft_3games.zip and that never worked either. So theirs obviously some other kind of files in there that we need...
exact same problem someone please help!
edit: you guys found a solution yet? i've been told on other forums that i think it is the rooting method we used that removed that gameloft file.. i think apparently ATT phones don't need that file or something..so i'm trying to figure out how to get that file back now..
If you do some searching for gameloft_3dgames.zip you'll find a zip of the stock 2.2.2 files available for download. I was able to push the gameloft_3dgames.zip to /data/local/tmp/, remount /preinstall/ read/write, copy it in there, set permissions to 644, remount read-only, reboot, and then apply the update successfully.
Good luck!

I have a US AT&T GSII and unfortunately they don't allow the access to the Network Operator Selection menu, so I'm told if I replace a file and restore it'll get the menu access back for me.
Can anyone who is on the STOCK Galaxy S II International version send me a copy of the file apns-conf.xml from the /system/etc directory via PM or post on here?
I think there's a way to extract it from the Stock ROM, but I can't find that on here, and don't know how to extract just that file.
Thanks

Use a file manager like Root Explorer to navigate to it.

I have the ATT version, that's why I want the file from someone who has a SGSII International to send the file, because it's not on my version, hence why I asked here, hehe. Did you read my post entirely? It explains it.
Thanks!

I am on stock KI8 and found a copy of the apns-conf.xml file in /etc (not /system/etc). For what it's worth, here is the file.
Hope it works for you - I'd love to know.

Thanks. How would I implement this into my stock ROM so I don't have to start over? And will this unlock the search screen?

You said in your first post that you just needed to copy this file in. To do this you will need a file manager that will let you have write access to the root directory. Root Explorer will do this, but your phone will need to be rooted if it is not already. There are plenty of guides in this forum on how to do this, but my preference is just to flash the appropriate Chainfire cfroot kernel.
Please also note that once you root your phone your warranty will be void, although there are also guides on the forum about how you can go about bringing it back to stock. Many of the carrier specific stock ROMs are also posted in the forum.
Before you do any of this though, you should note your current ROM details as listed in Settings/About Phone, and after you have rooted, but before doing anything else, you should perform a CWM backup.
Once you have done the copy, I would think you would need to re-boot your phone for anything to take effect, but I can't give you any guarantee that it will work (or not).

I was already rooted and unlocked. Simply doing these two things in themselves don't unlock ATT's locked manual network selection screen. I even tried deleting the CSC directory and files per GTG, and I replaced the APNs Config File, and rebooted, the manual network selection menu is still locked. :-( I'm beginning to wonder if this is hopeless. :-(

Need to launch into TWRP, but I can't seem to find the file for it/it doesn't work.
I can't seem to find the file for it on https://twrp.me/app/ since they seem to be special versions/other variants of the phone.
The file https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=5608 also doesn't seem to work, and is probably the closest I got to it.
Anyone know where I can get the correct file?

It also says "The system cannot find the path specified" when I run the echo "BINDSBIN=true">/data/.supersu command
You can get it from google play.
