if i remember correctly, it won't update if the bootloader is unlocked. all you may need to do is "relock" it. Search for "OTA" or "update" and "bootloader" and you may get some info.

or wait for someone with a better memory than i :)

just noticed mine tried to force the update... for anyone who hasn't updated in some capacity, looks like it will auto-update Feb 5
[HTC Rezound] neckbonest:
i do believe you need to install stock recovery for the update to install.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
best bet is to install a stock rom that someone has already rooted, deodexed, etc.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
You don't need to relock the bootloader. You need to unfreeze any software, or reinstall it if removed. You also need to install stock recovery.

Requirements to take the ota:

- stock os

- stock recovery

- all stock programs not frozen or uninstalled

Things that don't seem to matter:

- rooted

- unlocked bootloader

Use OTA Rootkeeper if you wish to preserve root through the OTA(make sure to use it to make the backup first)
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
This is exactly what I was looking for! I.am running stock, rooted with apps frozen.

I can easily unfreeze the ones with titanium back up.

How do I get and uninstall stock.recovery?

Boy do I feel stupid lil

[HTC Rezound] sdlucky7:
Thanks for the tips everyone...

I'm still running the stock os and recovery, but I am missing the apps I listed above:

Backup Assistant

Mobile Hotspot

Mobile IM

Mobile Instant Messenger

Problem is, that I uninstalled them using Titanium Backup (I know now that I should have frozen them).

I will try re-locking the bootloader and seeing if it will let me run the OTA. If not, is there a way to force Titanium Backup to re-install those system apps? I have been unsuccessful so far.
[HTC Rezound] sdlucky7:
Looks like this is not my lucky day...

I relocked the bootloader using the instructions on HTCdev and tried the update again. Same issue as before. It gets about 1/4 of the way through and stops.

While I was trying this all out, it got me thinking... Could this be due to the perm-root? Titanium backup still shows that it has root access even though my phone is relocked.
[HTC Rezound] buckifvr:
As much effort as you are expending trying to get an OTA update for GB, why don't you just use a custom ROM, like CleanROM ICS. At least for me I get better performance and battery life to boot.
[HTC Rezound] sdlucky7:
Yea... A custom rom has crossed my mind quite a few times. For this OTA, I'm more interested in the firmware included (radio, etc) to maybe fix this earphone static I have. If we had S-Off, I could just flash the radio and then use a custom rom.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
You do need to be back to stock so maybe there's something you missed since you were rooted?

You can relock and then run the RUU to get you there and then accept the OTA and it should work. Then just unlock again and flash Amon Ra, and then either run stock or restore a nand or flash a new ROM. If you go with an older ROM without the new kernel and you want to use the new kernel you might need to update that. You can do that by following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1467793

ATERNATIVE METHOD:

You can also use con247's Stock OTA ROM instead of running the RUU.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21880389

Here are the steps to take to accomplish that:

1) use Amon Ra to flash con's vigorStock OTA ROM. It will do its thing then reboot to hboot. I think it then asks you if you want to update. Don't do it yet.

2) At this point you want to relock. So go into fastboot on the phone. Using adb/fastboot type the following at the cmd prompt:

fastboot oem lock

3) Reboot phone and let it flash the PHzip file. It should reboot completely when it's finished.

4) delete the PHzip file using a file explorer app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.

5) get the phone back into fastboot. Unlock again using adb/fastboot. I don't remember the exact command but you can find that in the guide for unlocking.

6) reinstall su using Amon Ra.

Now you should be stock OTA rooted with the new goodies.

Check in Settings > About phone > Software info > More to see that you got all the new stuff.
[HTC Rezound] sdlucky7:
Thanks for the help everyone.

I ended up just flashing the new RUU using the exe found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472606

I didn't mind setting up my phone again, and everything seems to be working fine.

I am going to try to hold out rooting until the ICS OTA update comes out (whenever that might be) so that I can avoid this same issue... We'll see how long that lasts. ;)

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
If you bricked following an official upgrade, contact Samsung.

If you bricked because you didn't follow a guide properly, or did not know what you were doing, then your mostly on your own.

I highly doubt your the 1st person to do this, and I would take a guess that there exists a guide or method to unbrick.

My advice to you is strangely the first rule of XDA, Search. The information is there, you just need to find it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treb1971:
Hard Brick?

Is it hard bricked or soft bricked?

Can you get to the download screen by pressing power and vol down at the same time? Or can you get to the computer / exclamation mark screen? If you leave the phone to charge overnight?

That would be soft bricked.

If you can't get to either of those then you are prob hard bricked and will need serious help. But there are people who can help you out on these forums. I remember seeing someone in the U.S. who had a JTAG and charged $50. If you're in Europe that's probably not a solution though! :)

After reading through a few posts on this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365360

I noticed a few people had a similar problem as I do, and I would like to start a new thread to see if we can clear up things and potentially help some community members in the future.

So here is my story (i'll try to keep it short)

I installed Gummy Nex 0.6.6 and set up my google pre-paid card and got the $10 dollars from google

I went to 711, and bought a drink via NFC, and it did work

I got home, opened up the wallet and went to settings and reset it, then flashed a new rom/kernel

(AOKP and the franco.kernel awsome combo btw)

I opened up the wallet, and there was my remaining balance, after the app set some things up, there is nothing listed in my transactions but it shows a balance of $8.97 or something like that

Now, whenever I goto that vendor nothing happens when I try to buy something, Ill post back when I try another vendor

anyone else experience anything similar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkl1993:
used Google Wallet for the first time last week, and it worked like a charm. i have used it a couple of times the past few days with no problems. I am using AOKP build 21
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r0ckstar323:
Used it for the first time today. Worked fine. Put the phone up to the terminal, waited for it to read, got confirmation. Running Gummy 0.7.0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milyenair:
My problem is I can't add more funds. Has anybody actually added more funds to their prepaid google card, on top of the $10?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
i was going to until it didnt work on me =/ tomorrow i will try a different vendor and post my results
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
Today I had another chance to test out the wallet, and I'd like to share my results

(good news!) jump to the bottom for the TL;DR version

Anyway,

I first opened up wallet, and reset it, then backed up this version with Titanium Backup (I have the pro version, not sure if it matters)

I then uninstalled wallet with titanium

After that was done, I followed the instructions listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365360

I also went to a different vendor (in this case quick check), however the first thing I noticed was a green LED light on the top of the paypass machine.

Now, i dont remember if there was a green light on the paypass machine the first time i used it, but i specifically remember there NOT being one the seccond time (the first time that wallet failed to open)

anyway, TL;DR version... it worked

Anyone having a similar problem as myself, let me know if you saw a green light on the paypass machine because that might be it right here
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMan94:
Trying to be charitable and cautious, I'm trying to back up my EFS folder before I go messing around and it is consistently failing. I'm using:

SGS Tools Vz 0.5.7

Busy Box Vz1.17.2

On my previous captivate this works just fine. Now I get

"could not create backup folder /sdcard/SGSToolbox/backup (date string)" and then the bluebox saying creating backup. This never goes away and to clear I have to reboot.

Any helpful hints?

I tried to download the latest and greatest SGS Tools but Google knows I have it installed and won't let me get the newest one. Haven't figure out how to get around that unless I just have to un-install my current one.

Rooted 2.2, KB2, running existz KB1 kernel.

Knowing there are no successful backups... just successful restores.

If you're willing to use your computer and can get the Android SDK and ADB going, just get into a command prompt in the ADB directory and type "adb pull /efs". That will back it up to your computer.

Well just to be daring, I tried to install the ADB tools. Had to install the Java development software first. After I installed what I thought was the ADB suite, I can't seem to find the place to type in commands, dumb as that sounds. I may not have gotten the right package. Going to tinker with it though.

My SU is up to date.

I can see the folder with Super Manager so I guess I'll just copy with that. Interesting though I can't see anything in the /efs directory. Probably just something else I don't understand.

Still curious though as to why SGS Tools is failing... part of my nature.

Thanks to all that replied.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Make a note of where adb is installed (e.g. c:\users\person\Android-sdk-windows\platform-tools). Then hit the windows key and R, and type cmd. Once in the prompt, type CD (directory from before, no parentheses) and hit enter. From there, type your adb commands.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMan94:
Ahhhh.... I get it. Was expecting something a bit more elegant. Gotta love DOS commands.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Well..there are a couple more elegant ways to do it.

Open up a new note in NotePad, just type:

Cmd

Exit

And save, but instead of a .txt file extension save it as a .bat, now drop that into your adb directoty, then just double click on that to open a prompt in that directory, so you don't have to do the cd command every time.

Or..the most elegant way is to add adb to your environmental variables so you can enter adb commands from anywhere ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
That's a good solution. I've got a set of files put into my C:\Users\(my username) folder called "adb", "adbr" (adb reboot), "adbrd" (adb reboot download), and "adbrr" (adb reboot recovery).

Each of these is a .bat file with a version of this text in it:

@ echo off

cd "C:\Users\(me)\Other\tools\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools"

adb reboot

That way, all I have to do is hit Win-R and type one of those file names and it does that command for me. Or, I can type cmd, then adb, and automatically be where adb is installed without cd'ing through a long file list.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toominds:
My suggestion is Root Explorer. I was able to backup the EFS directory without problems also create a .tar file.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felixcm88:
I used root explorer to do my backups, another option is the explorer inside the rom tollbox aplication its also very good
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMan94:
Now I have another adb question...

First off, now I'm just trying to learn and get better. I've built my bat files and I can get adb working. Thanks to those that helped with that. When I tried to pull the /efs folder it said there was no device recognized. I was in "mass storage" mode at the time.

Whenever I've seen people talk about using adb, I don't recall anything being said about if it should be in Download, debug or what. One of those assumed knowledge things.

So what do I have to do to the phone to let adb recognize it?

gnawing on the bone....

I'm also thinking of pulling a logcat or something when SGS tools fails... just to see. That's my next step.

I have my Desire Z for about 5 months, and now when i want to slide out my keyboard, the screen sometimes stays in portrait mode and pressing the keys doesnt work. when i slowly slide out the keyboard and have it out halfway, the screen flips, but when i slide it further, the screen goes portrait again. I am using a pouch with a magnet, which sometimes confuses my device, thinking the keyboard is slid out while it isnt. but my problem happens without the magnet intefering. Could this have anything to do with it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
I don't know how to fix your issue, but never a good idea to have electronics near a magnet
[G2 and Desire Z General] soulcrusher:
The slider itself uses a magnet to figure out wether the keyboard is slid (or slided:confused:) out or not. I'm not sure but i think it is pretty common (i know the htc touch dual also uses a magnet). Anyway, i've tried to keep the back side of the phone away from the magnet of the pouch and so far everything is working fine again. So i guess the sensor was just confused
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:

I guess any custom rom is better than stock. Have tried rocketrom and checkrom so far, and they are both a flight to remember. We Swedes don't seem to get very rescent uppdates through Kies or OTA updater either. Im guessing checkrom is the best way to go right now, but thats mainly because it seems to me that 4 persons are developing that and rocketrom is being developed by one person. May be wrong but that my impression. Checkroms hardware accelerated UI and browser are a real treat as well.

If you wish to overclock then just get the XDA-member-free version of set-cpu and use it with a custom ROM of choise, but you won't need to in order to get rid of the lag. It will be quite gone anyway.
