[Kindle Fire General] Errroneous:
I assumed the file needs to be permanently removed based your post, but I renamed them to keep them around (I am glad I did)

I did what you recommended and then I rebooted (renamed instead). Once I rebooted though, GMail would crash everytime I tried to use it and the Market said it could not connect. Once I put those files back and reboooted they worked again. So any other ideas would be appreciated.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
yes - as i wrote - i deleted otacerts.zip (only this one) from /system/etc/security/ (renamed and moved to sdcard)

i'm using the android market without any problems

sorry had a typo with the filename !
[Kindle Fire General] jhaz:
I only see cacerts.bks and otacerts.zip. Which did you delete?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
sorry it is a typo - thank you !!!

it is otacerts.zip !!!

will correct the post - again thanks !
[Kindle Fire General] jshaw49:
Anyone have any details about the update? What's new?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
i think it's too new for detailed information and don't know cause it did not install

but i'm shure detailed information will be availabe in the next days

as well as a pure update version as it was with 6.2.1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1407852
[Kindle Fire General] DalekCaan:
I can't delete the file. I have ES File explorer with su privileges... Voodoo is set so I am rooted... I have read/write checked in settings. Is there something I'm missing?

EDIT: Never mind, I just got it. Sorry! Hopefully this works. Has anybody done this and had it update on them?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
don't know - sorry - but for me it's the second update i survived
[Kindle Fire General] podspi:
Tried this, will be cheering/complaining loudly, depending on how it goes :D

Probably a silly question, but I suppose if we get the OTA that knocks out recovery as well?

Edit: Perhaps a sillier question, but does having TWRP prevent the OTA anyway? Usually the OTA is flashed via stock recovery, no?
[Kindle Fire General] skullunit:
It should wipe everything.
[Kindle Fire General] DesDr0id:
The OTA updates thus far typically overwrite the filesystem, so yes it would knock out recovery. You can use a "patched" ROM that will not touch the partition the recovery data is on.

TWRP does not stop OTA amazon updates if you are running the stock amazon ROM, as it operates at a level outside of the operating system. However, you can use TWRP to load an alternate operating system aka ROM, such as CM7 which would not be subject to amazon's OTA updates.
[Kindle Fire General] lmntone:
One thing I've noticed is that it mounts a lot faster when attached to my PC via USB. On 6.2.1, it mounted in about 10 seconds. Now it does it in less than 2.
[Kindle Fire General] hrbib21:
Thanks for this. Exactly what I was looking for (I'm fairly new to rooting).
[Kindle Fire General] podspi:
Just wanted to say that I tried this, and as far as I can tell it worked like a charm. I even tempted fate by hitting 'Sync', but my Kindle refused to update (it wouldn't even attempt to download the update from device settings).

I just flashed the pre-rooted 6.2.2 update and deleted otacerts.zip, so here is hoping they didn't change something to make this not work...
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
i'm glad that it is working for you too ...
[Kindle Fire General] aprsguy:
I just wanted to add that I have been blocking the OTA update using Droid Wall. Still running very happy on 6.2.1.

The only down side to this method is having to set permissions initially then updating Droid Wall as I install apps.
[Kindle Fire General] joelfinkle:
Meh. I'm not sweating this update much.

I've still got the Market, still have Swype... Sooooo far as I can tell the only thing I lost is Google Currents, which I wasn't finding much useful since the KF doesn't seem to want to let it sync while I'm not around.

Sooooo sooner or later I'll get the Burrito running again, but I'm in no rush.

[Kindle Fire General] jendol:
as i am fairly familiar with the rooting process I am okay with amazon pushing update OTA, but some of my friends are complaining and I have to help them root their devices again after OTA update. So if this OTACERTS.ZIP deletion actually works (without other consequences) then I will surely recommend this to my friends
[Kindle Fire General] zirooo:
Wouldn't this force the system to re-download the update over and over again due to hash check failure ??

possibly effecting performance, battery life and bandwidth ?!
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
no - it does it one time and then never again

btw. you can also update to 6.2.2 with the nfx update

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1452082

and remove the file again - tip: do update and file remove with wifi disabled - enable when finished - just to be shure ...
[Kindle Fire General] zopzop25:
It works! Nice find.
[Kindle Fire General] wigsey:
Hi,

I can't find this file on my kindle. Do I need something special to view it. I currently simply have my kinmdle plugged into the pc and am looking through windows explorer. I am rooted.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
it is in /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip

you will have to be rooted and use something like es file explorer on the kf

you can't see it from windows explorer because there you see only the sdcard partition
[Kindle Fire General] andTab:
this seems to work like a charm.

Still no 6.2.2 update for me.
[Kindle Fire General] wigsey:
I am rooted and I've downloaded es file manager.

It still only shows the sdcard.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong. I've tried all the possible options and it doesn't show up,
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
activate "root explorer" and the setting directly under it (don't know exactly cause mine is german - has to be something like "mount system") in the settings of es file explorer

when superuser asks for permissons say allow and remember
[Kindle Fire General] wigsey:
Found the file but it won't let me delete it.

I've changed the name from .zip to .xls will that do the trick ?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
no - it has to be removed - move it to your sdcard by long tap on the file -> select move to -> then a destination on your sdcard partition - verify it really moved - you'r good to go !
[Kindle Fire General] wigsey:
Thanks for those instructions

moved it to sd and renamed it .xls

Am I now safe
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
would say so - i suvived 2 ota's with this method, many others confirmed and some dev's incorporate it in their roms
[Kindle Fire General] ontwowheels:
Thinking about doing this mod, is this still good?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
worked with 6.2.1 & 6.2.2 - if they don't change their method - yes
[Kindle Fire General] stoges:
Could you just use Titanium Backup and freeze the file?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
does titanium backup remove the file from the folder ?

then possibly yes - check it out
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
just got the 6.3 ota - it worked again - still on 6.2.2
[Kindle Fire General] king_xerxes:
I did not delete the ota cert, I just took it's permissions away, I am hoping that that will work.
[Kindle Fire General] ataraxist:
One of my rooted kindle got updated to 6.2.2, but root was not lost. Market still accessible. I Thought root will be lost after ota.

Sent from my Kindle Fire
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
nope - rename and move to sdcard as backup if you like allthrough you don't need it

updated to 6.2.2 ? - must have been a long time ago ...

don't know why because the the system partition will be formated by the ota
[Kindle Fire General] jb0ne:
I initially renamed otacerts.zip many versions ago (6.2 I think) and noticed afterwards "pushing" of apps from the Amazon app store if purchased from another computer is no longer automatic. No big deal, just launch the KF App store app and it will detect and download. I've had some issues with books not pushing either. I suspect otacerts.zip is used for more than just OTA ROM updates, but those other uses are easily gotten around by using the KF client (books/apps).

I've manually updated since then and have made so many changes I want to keep it the way it is. I also installed Droidwall and the only two things I have blocked are Amazon Device Client Program (adcp) and the kernel.
[HTC Incredible S] martyfly1990:
hi there. i bought this phone yesterday and it's great. i love it. best phone i've ever owned.

however i have a few niggling questions;

i find the touch buttons to be very difficult to see in sunlight. is there a way to brighten them? or are all the phones like this. my mother has a galaxy s and i feel her touch buttons are brighter.

is the power button meant to be so slim to the phone? i can find it hard to press sometimes.

secondly, how come my LED notification light only stays on for a short time when i receive a text? i would have thought it stayed on until the text was read, but when i get a text and don't notice for half an hour to an hour the LED isn't flashing. if i receive a text (and i'm there to notice it) the LED flashes. again, is this just my phone or everyones?

also, how safe is it to install the swype beta on your phone? and how safe is it downloading pdf's (accidentally, opened a link on a reputable train website) on to my phone over the 3G network?

and finally, not as important, but the standard version of angry birds seems to always lag/crash at startup. i don't know whether it's due to the ads, but i have to hit home before i am able to click 'start', and then the same again when the level loads up before i can move the birds. i've played rio and that seems fine.

OH, and one more thing. if i go from an area with good 3g reception to an area with poor 3g, and then back again, my phone takes a while to catch up, so i have to turn off mobile networks and then back on again to get 3g back. normal?

sorry for all the questions.

thanks. peace.
[HTC Incredible S] System92:
Hi there martyfly1990,

Congratulations on your purchase and I hope you'll enjoy your phone as much as everyone here!

I won't be able to answer all of your questions but I'll try to help you out the best I can:

The Incredible S's capacitive buttons have a unique feature compared to other devices, they get to turn when you put your phone in landscape mode (only in one direction). In order to achieve this, they use a different method of illumination. What you may also notice is a kind of ghost of the buttons secondary positions beneath what is displayed in a round border if looked at at the right angle. However, it also gives the possibility to have nothing at all showing up when the lights are off giving it a cool look (I find :D). Compared to other phones I've seen, I'd say that it's normal for the IS to have slightly less bright touch buttons.

The IS was given what some people call a very industrial look. Aside from the back cover, the phone is very minimal in the sense that nothing extrudes from it. The power as well as the volume rocker buttons are even the same colour as the body. All to give it that slab look. The volume rocker sticks close to the body too, and I'm sure your phone is perfectly fine. You'll get used to it :p

If you trust the source (and are sure that the file is indeed a pdf, there is no problem at all.

I will presume that your phone is still stock? I haven't had that problem with Angry Birds, but did you try uninstalling it and installing it back on? Worth giving a try.

The reaction time not being immediate is normal, but how long do mean by "a while"? 10 seconds or 10minutes? I could only think of a radio problem if it's really bad. Could you share what version of android and what's your baseband version on your phone?
[HTC Incredible S] vinboy3:
I think that other question has been answered so i will skip it.

LED notification i will only last for 5 minutes, so far i haven found out any ways to stretch up the time until we read the message or any other notification.

I think they set it to only 5 minutes properly of the battery drain?

:D

Hope its help.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Hi guys! Here's how you add roaming options to phone.apk. I forgot where I got this apk from, but I decided to dissect it and figure out how to do it to the new OTA. What I do remember, is that it came from Synergy, so thanks goes to TrevE and the whole Synergy team.

Step 1: Start off by decompiling Phone.apk with apktool, apk manager, or apk multi-tool.

Step 2: Navigate to res\values\arrays.xml and open it in Notepad++ or whatever editor you use.

Step 3: FIND:

<string-array name="cdma_system_select_choices_sprint">
<item>Sprint only</item>
<item>Automatic</item>

ADD:

<item>Roam only</item>

FINAL RESULT:

<string-array name="cdma_system_select_choices_sprint">
<item>Sprint only</item>
<item>Automatic</item>
<item>Roam only</item>
</string-array>

Step 4: FIND:

<string-array name="cdma_system_select_values_sprint">
<item>0</item>
<item>2</item>
</string-array>

ADD:

<item>3</item>

FINAL RESULT:

<string-array name="cdma_system_select_values_sprint">
<item>0</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>3</item>
</string-array>

Step 5: Navigate to com\android\phone\cdmaroaminglistpreference$myhandler.smali and open with your editor.

Step 6: FIND:

.local v1, settingsRoamingMode:I
if-eqz v2, :cond_0

const/4 v3, 0x2

if-eq v2, v3, :cond_0

const/4 v3, 0x3

NOTE: You should only have to search for

.local v1, settingsRoamingMode:I

, as the rest MAY not look like that.

CHANGE:

const/4 v3, 0x3

INTO:

const/4 v3, 0x1

Step 6: Navigate to com\android\phone\cdmaroaminglistpreference.smali and open with editor:

Step 7: FIND AROUND:

.line 84
.end local v2 #statusCdmaRoamingMode:I
:pswitch_1
const/4 v2, 0x3

NOTE: There will be multiple occurences if this, but you should only need to find around ".line 84", which is the first occurence.

CHANGE:

const/4 v2, 0x3

INTO:

const/4 v2, 0x1

Step 8: Recompile Phone.apk and push to phone, chmod with 0644, or create flashable zip and flash in recovery.

For convenience, I've attached a flashable zip below. This is based on software version 2.17.651.5.

KNOWN ISSUES: "Roaming only" doesn't show up as "ticked" when you select it. However, it still works, and is only a minor cosmetic flaw.

[HTC EVO 3D] myn:
FYI,

We employed this Force Roaming mod into Warm TwoPointThree RLS1 and arguably it was one of my favorite features. Sprint service in Columbus OH is awful, being able to roam on Verizon was nothing short of perfect.

Until... I received an official letter from Sprint telling me that they were going to disconnect my service if I didn't stop.

So much for unlimited right?

In any case, Use at your own discretion.

What about the option to use classic voicemail and not the visual voicemail app that's included? So it dials my mobile number when I click the voicemail notification

I know there's a modified Phone.apk around here that does that, but it's also a very old version of the file
[HTC EVO 3D] evilvoice:
Since there have been 2 questions about getting this to work on other devices. Let me go ahead and tell you that this method will ONLY work on HTC devices. I do not know why, but their Phone.apk allows us to make these edits - AOSP, Samsung, anyone else does not have the smali files needed to make this mod work the way it is laid out here and in the original thread. MrGreg was working with someone to get it to work on a Samsung Device. I do not know how far they made it, or whether it was fully done. I would say good luck getting that information now as MrGreg has released Roam Control. I do not know how MrGreg feels about us using this mod as I have NEVER asked him for permission. He posted the instructions and I have made changes to them to get them to work for other HTC phones. If he wants, he can have a mod remove all these threads. He decided, after posting instructions to do the mod yourself, that he wanted to build a paid app. I say "kudos!" What is even more amazing to me is that he leaves us be in implementing his mod on other HTC devices. I mean, he could have removed his Hero CDMA thread and most of us would be up the creek, but he hasn't done that. And I think that speaks volumes about his character.

Now, if you want to PM MrGreg and ask him if he finished the Samsung version of editing whatever files needed to be edited (I believe it wasnt only Phone.apk), and if he wanted to post them for someone to implement on other devices...and if he did this, I personally would thank him in whatever way you deem fit.

PS, for those that RC does not work for...he has said that using cracked versions WILL NOT work. I dont know why they wont and I dont care. I do wish there was a trial phase as I dont personally want to buy it if it does not work for the Nexus S 4g. You know, like issue a temp code for someone who wants to try it out that expires in 2 days.
[HTC EVO 3D] kainppc6700:
Thanks for saving us so much money, that's so nice of you. I would've liked to have saved my money, but instead I had to use the paid version of Roam Control. Don't get me wrong, it's good software, but there should be a way to do it free like the Evo users can.

- 2B
[HTC EVO 3D] evilvoice:
No need to thank me. I wish that instructions were posted for Samsung devices so that I could make the edits to the Nexus S 4g I am sporting at the moment. I would have loved to have roaming work on the Samsung Moment when I was trying to get my wife off contract. After I posted the previous post, I went hunting for where MrGreg was chatting with a Samsung Moment owner to find out if there were instructions posted and through their talks, Roam Control was born (or so it seems). Instructions for implementing this on the Samsung Moment was never posted. The user he was chatting with was testing, and then MrGreg released RC. I do not know if that is the order that it happened, but thats how it looks.

Like I said, if someone could give me the instructions, I would gladly take a crack at it...really, any Samsung device that has Roaming option and not a CM Rom, I could take a look at and see if I cant figure it out. I suggested contacting MrGreg directly as he is the one who figured all this out. He may give the instructions to a user...or course he may say explicitly not to give it to me so it doesnt become widespread LOL. I have no problems with MrGreg, nor do I think he has a problem with me (dunno, he might LOL)...If I could release an app to make me money, trust me, I would, so I see nothing wrong with him charging for RC. There is a difference though, I do not believe in charging for a Rom - thats donation stuff there, but an app, if someone has something they can market, do it! I love the community here and some devs give stuff for free, others dont. That is just the way it is going to work.

On second thought - this post is a lot longer than it should have been, I really just like typing and watching my words form on the page. Im gonna end this post now before it gets way out of hand. Just wanted to say I am not calling anyone out, or saying that you HAVE to buy the software. Really just wanted to let people with other devices know that I cant make it work without different instructions.

See, there I go again. Im done typing now.

No... I tried ages ago, to no avail. HTC seems to have either left in optional functionality for Roam, where Touchwiz seems to have removed and changed alot of how this works.
