pull the whole ROM dump but only part of it, there are no boot, system, recovery etc. partitions here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avalon986:
Those partitions have nothing to do with the incompatibility of the 2.2 and the 2.3 so we mostly need these to figure out what has changed in the new rom that causes it to bootloop if we upgrde without FOTA or OTU , or if we downgrade an already updated phone to 2.2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danijel_rs:
We need these partitions so we can try to apply the FOTA update.zip and upgrade our phones to 2.3.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avalon986:
But that just solves the upgrade problem. But if we figure out what's wrong with it we then then upgrade and downgrade anytime.

An also you probably know that even rooting a phone is complicated to some people, what do you think they'll do with these stuff just to upgrade their phones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danijel_rs:
I agree. But downgrading to 2.2 isnt currently everyone's goal. Some of us are still trying to update to 2.3. We should not all focus at only one thing, in this case finding this incompatibility. If there is anyone who can upload the whole ROM we can solve the upgrade problem faster.. maybe..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigprof:
Thanks, but… it's a wrong version again :(

The AMSS size is as expected (17747968), the version code is KY53H0C0 (don't know what exactly to expect here), but SHA1 is dd5209ea0f812591a4f77ad5a0c004ec4c123b1b instead of the required 9c808861d2aa3385f8c158b1dee8cae14a8c0bb5 :mad:

The most strange thing is that a couple of days ago I got a FOTA dump from a supposedly Russian OT-990 with 2.2.2, and it contained AMSS version KY53H0C0 which is exactly the same as in this Telenor-Hungary dump. That Russian phone also had a different model ID in the tracability partition: 990X-2CALRU1-S40 instead of 990X-2DALRU1 (which had AMSS version KY53B060 with SHA1 b14b58d8ab0f808e9892891fc1e8cbeb8f672891); and this Telenor-Hungary dump has 990X-2DTNHU3.

AMSS versions currently found (note that two of them are the same):

b14b58d8ab0f808e9892891fc1e8cbeb8f672891 ./2.2/ot990-ALRU-2.2.2-v53B-0-amss-KY53B060.mbn
dd5209ea0f812591a4f77ad5a0c004ec4c123b1b ./2.2/ot990-ALRU-2.2.2-v53B-0-amss-KY53H0C0.mbn
be67b9ae01f5b02a4a115ff6a4807a3637e8f865 ./2.2/ot990-OBGB-2.2.2-v53R-0-amss-KY58L0J0.mbn
dd5209ea0f812591a4f77ad5a0c004ec4c123b1b ./2.2/ot990-TNHU-2.2.2-v53R-0-amss-KY53H0C0.mbn
3b6391181563a9a97b5905af401fa9d7eff6a7b4 ./2.3/ot990-TNHU-2.3.4-v5GY-0-amss-KY5GY0W0.mbn

And apparently writing the KY53H0C0 version instead of KY53B060 to the FOTA partition results in a phone which works, but is not recognized by OTU (although there is also a slight difference in FOTAFLAG).

Maybe these phones were produced at different times and therefore had different factory-installed firmware? Then probably KY53H0C0 is later than KY53B060, and we might have a hard time finding a phone with an older AMSS version. Or the situation might be even worse, if these phones are really different hardware revisions which need different bootloaders and AMSS code.

So we still need to find a matching FOTA+update.zip pair — either find the required previous AMSS version somewhere, or get another update.zip which uses this KY53H0C0 version as the base.

btw, my nick is qltsar not Qlstar :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigprof:
No, the update.zip should not be the same, or the update will just fail. Probably there are lots of FOTA update variants (a separate patchset is needed for every previous firmware version). Our problem is that we do not have matching old version and update.zip — we can either continue to search for the particular old version, or try to get update.zip for the version we have.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danijel_rs:
So basicly what we need from one person with 2.2.2 is

- FOTA, FOTAFLAG etc. partitions for some of us

- BOOT, SYSTEM, CUSTPACK etc partitions for some of us

- and FOTA update.zip for everyone

Great! we need everything :D

Ok, I obviously need some help to understand this..

updater-script contains this line

apply_patch_check("MTD:FOTA:17747968:9c808861d2aa3385f8c158b1dee8cae14a8c0bb5:18946036:fa3a3c6f1543fef862daa83d7a89679c90d65c95")

What are those values "17747968", "18946036" or "9c808861d2aa3385f8c158b1dee8cae14a8c0bb5"?

When I type

md5sum FOTA.img

or

sha1sum FOTA.img

Am I supposed to get the "9c808861d2aa3385f8c158b1dee8cae14a8c0bb5" value here if that's the needed FOTA image or i'm doing this wrong?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigprof:
The first size:sha1 pair (17747968:9c808861d2aa3385f8c158b1dee8cae14a8c0bb5) corresponds to the original FOTA contents (old AMSS version) which is used as the base for the patch. The second size:sha1 pair (18946036:fa3a3c6f1543fef862daa83d7a89679c90d65c95) corresponds to the result of applying the patch (which apply_patch_check considers as good too — then subsequent apply_patch will just do nothing).

No, this will not give the required result — you need to take just the first 17747968 bytes from the FOTA.img dump, then calculate the SHA-1 hash of just that part:

dd if=FOTA.img of=amss.mbn bs=17747968 count=1
sha1sum amss.mbn
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
Sorry, once again,can you repeat exactly what amss.mbn sha1sum checks by device, when FOTA update.zip had flashed? I'm a little confused :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danijel_rs:
sha1 for amss.mbn got from Telenor SERBIA 2.2.2 v53R-0 FOTA.img is

dd5209ea0f812591a4f77ad5a0c004ec4c123b1b

The same as

dd5209ea0f812591a4f77ad5a0c004ec4c123b1b ./2.2/ot990-ALRU-2.2.2-v53B-0-amss-KY53H0C0.mbn

so does this mean that we can patch it with matching update.zip from Hungarian fota update?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigprof:
No, it's just the same KY53H0C0 version which does not match the only update.zip that we have — but it also means that you don't need to bother uploading the dump, because we already have a dump with exactly the same AMSS code.

I have some ideas but not enough knowledge about some things, so I cant predict what will happen if I try some of these ideas. I dont want to brick the phone :/ The safest way, I think, is to replace the partitions content with Hungarian rom dump and then try to apply the FOTA update.zip. The problem is that we dont have a whole Hungarian 2.2 romdump or a matching update.zip, so I cant try to update to 2.3 this way and see if it work. These roms (Hungarian 2.2 and Serbian 2.2) could be the same, except some language modifications and parameters, so maybe update script will pass the check and apply the patches.

Telenor Hungary 2.2.2 (Froyo "R" version) ROM-Dump

So here it is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20480657/Android/Alcatel/Telenor_HU_2.2.2_%22R%22_Dump_Files/Telenor_HU_2.2.2_%22R%22_Dump_Files.tar.gz

securo.img

tracability.img

FOTA.img

studypara.img

tuningpara.img

boot.img

custpack.img

As you can see at the FOTA update.zip updater-script, it matches for the Telenor Hungary FOTA update.zip package:

one_touch_990_TNHU/one_touch_990_gsm/Brandy:2.2.2/FRG83G/v53R-0:user/release-keys" ||

file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "TCT/one_touch_990_TNHU/one_touch_990_gsm:2.3.4/GINGERBREAD/v5GY-0:user/release-keys");​

The last dump that i uploaded was the "H" version of the 2.2.2 firmware, so that was a problem, because it didn't matched with the GB FOTA update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigprof:
Yes, finally it is the needed version. Now applying the patch results in a file with 18946036 bytes and sha1 fa3a3c6f1543fef862daa83d7a89679c90d65c95 — which matches the result values in updater-script!

So the attached file, when unpacked and flashed into the FOTA partition, might do something when the phone is rebooted — either a bootloader and AMSS upgrade (version codes EY5GY0W0, LY5GY0W0, KY5GY0W0 are there, and last 18055168 bytes are identical to the ot990-TNHU-2.3.4-v5GY-0-amss-KY5GY0W0.mbn AMSS image found in a dump of an upgraded phone), or some kind of brick never seen before. It is also possible that some other additional action is needed to trigger the FOTA update (e.g., doing something with the FOTAFLAG partition).

BTW, the dump was apparently taken from a phone which has been upgraded with FOTA before (maybe from 53H to 53R) — look at text messages in FOTAFLAG:

Update is available!!!

Program OEMSBL:
121/121

Program APPBOOT:
23/23

Program AMSS:
4333/4333

Fota upgrade success!!!

copy AMSS into FOTA
fota_init() : AMSS written to FOTA ( 17747968 bytes)

In other dumps only the last message was present.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigprof:
Did you save that update.zip too? Another version of FOTA update might be useful for analysis of the update format (and it might even be useful directly for rollback from 2.3 to 2.2, if there are no version number checks in the updater).
