Cautionary Tale (also posted in disable ota nag for a reason)

Hey folks – there were so many bad reports of this (June 2012) OTA floating around and didn’t want my phone booting at 2am so I decided to just update the radio and use the directions here to remove the nag.

There is good news and bad news to this story so bad news first – I kinda bricked my phone messing with the build.prop. I think the culprit was, of course my stupidity, and ES File Explorer. I am rooted with s-off and had all the settings in ES to allow read/write – root privilege – etc… but when I edited the build.prop and then re-opened it the file seemed to be blank. ES also automatically created a “build.prop.bak”. I tried to move a copy out of system/ edit and copy back in but the same thing happened. Here is where “stupid is as stupid does” I chanced it that the file was saving just fine and I just needed to reboot. If there was a problem I could just ADB into the system folder and pull/push the build.prop backup. So whatever ES File Explorer did/does when saving the file was not good. All I can think of is it is a permissions thing or it adds some formatting (like MS Word) to a .prop file. Okay phone will not boot now - no biggie - bring up ADB - pull the back up – rename – push it baaaack aaaahhh wait a minute “could not push file no space left on disk”. Without knowing much about Linux I Googled and tried to troubleshoot to no avail. Ef it! the phone is going up for sale as soon as my Galaxy SIII arrives so I might as well just put this latest ROM on here and see how it goes.

Good news – cmlusco’s “UPDATED” stock rooted OTA 4.08.605.15 Deodexed version and the new radio 2.15.10.12.20 are up and running fine for me. No bootloop in the middle of the night and no freezes. Had to start fresh but was planning on doing that next week anyway. With all the crap I had added and removed over the past year the phone is running much smoother and faster now. I cannot report, as some have, of dramatic network improvement from the radio update however. Signal strength has gone from avg -90 dBm to -88 dBm but I also don’t have the case on it right now so don’t get your hopes up people.

So the moral of the story is “be careful if you are using ES File Explorer”. I’m sure someone will point out that I did something wrong. And don’t be afraid of the new ROM. I think the folks that are having problems are OTA update issues. I’ve read that even those folks will get past it if they leave their phone on and not pull the battery overnight but that is debatable. Anyone interested in a rooted Droid Incredible next week? ;)

What is 'MD5'?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
Maybe someone will explain it a bit better but an MD5 is a number used to make sure two files (yours vs theirs) are the exact same using a mathematical equation.

Always double check the md5 when flashing a new radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
So do you have to download and flash the MD5 file when you flash the ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
Nope. Just use it to verify if they match. It just insures that it is a good download. Sometimes it can corrupt during the transfer.

Just download the rom and then verify if the two sums match. There are apps in the market you can use for free if downloading from the phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
I wiped everything, flashed the zip, now in a boot loop - thoughts?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wrigbone:
Oh Yeah I almost Forgot to Mention

toolfan2k4 is a douche :laugh:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Try redownloading and flashing again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
I flashed the odexed version yesterday and got the middle of the night boot loop thing. Don't know if it did this because I was charging it or if it just does it whenever. I turned it off and this moring its back to normal.

Also I have received the OTA twice in a week, last Sunday and again yesterday, and both times it won't install. And both times I then tried to install it as an update.zip but it always hangs at the startup screen. So there's something definetly wrong with the OTA but it is still being sent out.

As my phone is wifi only it doesn't really matter just wanted it to be up top date in case I ever activated it again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
If your on 4.08.605.15 you should not be getting the ota update message, unless verizon has sent out an even newer update to fix the 2am reboot issue. What build number does it say. Also the update will not install unless you are on the stock recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
I only installed your version after the ota update failed to install twice. I saw no point in trying anymore to get it to work.

I was stock everything this was a fully wiped phone. The first OTA, November 2011, arrived as soon as I booted the phone the first time after going back to stock and installed without a problem. The new one arrived a day later but just wouldn't install. Did it twice, flashing stock gettting first OTA etc, etc with same result so just flashed yours.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] keyslapper:
Stock (untouched) OTA URL?

Hey guys, I'm having trouble getting my wife's DInc updated. Hers is unrooted, and she doesn't want me prying the damn thing open, but with the battery improvements I'm getting with this new radio, I'm wanting hers updated to the OTA at the very least. In the past, it wasn't long before the Google URL to grab the OTA manually was up, but I can't find it now.

Anyone have that URL so I can get her phone updated? Again, this is the Google URL for the untouched distribution I need.

Cheers!

Lou
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
Is the Deodexed link working for anyone?

Edit: Working now
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rstandi:
Did anyone ever figure out the status 7 error when trying to install? Can't get it to load.

rstandi
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
It was fixed awile ago. Redownload and try flashing again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
I havent came across an official link yet, but i do have the untouched ota file pulled from an inc if your interested. All you would need to do is name it update.zip, place it on the sd, and boot to hboot. Hboot will find it saying "update gift" and imstall the ota.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] keyslapper:
Thanks man, I did finally get her updated though. Had to pull all kinds of crazy stuff, like wrong the cache and moving the clock forward a month, but it worked.

I also reminded her to turn the volume all the way down that night, and the (presumably) 2AM boot loop cycle happened without disturbing anyone.

I wonder if that cycle includes updating the market to play ... You'd think HTC would just update that too ...

Cheers!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
I have not gotten the 2am bug my self but i have seen several others who have. A guy posted his logs and from what i can tell htc created a new sd/emmc checker/fixer that scans for bad sectors in the new ota. If your willing to try something since i cant test it my self, go to /system/bin and rename a file called erase_dirty_fat. I believe this will stop the 2am bug. Renaming this file will not mess anything up, it just wont run the scan till you name it back.

I found it odd too that they didnt put the play store in the ota.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
I moved the file out of the /system/bin folder and still have the 2 am bug. I only recently started getting the bug again after about a week of not having it. Now its every night.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rstandi:
Hey, CM

Appreciate all your work! I tried downloading both versions several times today at around 11 AM. Both gave the status 7 error. I wiped and formatted each folder 3 times prior to install. I wonder if it's my sd card. Do you get many random reboots with touch of Blue. I need a daily that is more reliable than what I have been using. Love the ICS roms but can't afford to miss calls.....

Thanks

rstandi
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Both files seem to flash fine for me, mabey a bad download or mabey you need to backup and reformat your sdcard.

There is no need to wipe 3 times just do the factory reset from the main cwm menu and then go to the mounts and storage menu and wipe system and boot, then flash the rom.

I rarley if ever get random reboots. Usually if i get one its cause im tweaking stuff.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
That sucks i was hoping it fixed it. I kinda wish i would get it so i could investigate it more.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
It doesn't really bother me as I just turn it off at night now since its a wifi only gamer for me since I got the Rezound a month ago. From what I can remember at 2 am as soon as I get up and unlock the phone it stops rebooting. But I always end up shutting it off just in case as it recharges in my bedroom and it wakes me up. I haven't tried a factory reset yet and maybe I'll give that a try and see what happens
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
Factory data reset borked the phone. Something about bad UIDs and need to wipe data or system will be unstable which it is. Time for a full wipe and reinstall.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] keyslapper:
Hey CM, would it be possible to get that untouched OTA after all? I'm going to be upgrading at some point, and this will be going to my daughter. The thing is, I don't want her to have a rooted phone, so I'd like to get the stock image on it.

Thanks man

Lou
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
here ya go. http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Image...WWE_4.08.605.15-4.08.605.2_release_264040.zip

MD5: 7EF3E93250E9D64963606EC5B9FE24B5

This is not a full image though, just an update ota to go from 4.08.605.2 to 4.08.605.15. This file was ment for totally untouched stock phones. You could just stay on this rom but unroot it, or you could ruu and then officially take the ota before giving it to your daughter.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeffkyle:
CM- pardon my ignorance... and thanks for your work.... good work i might add... but when I flash this rom does it also flash the new radio, or do I need to do that separate?

thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
You need to flash is seperatley thru hboot. You can get it here http://dinc.does-it.net/radios/2.15.10.12.20/. Flashing this rom will not update the radio or hboot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeffkyle:
Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
Just curious if this one is the latest STOCK 4.08.605.15 TIA
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Read the thread title and OP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
I think youre trying to help but yes or no would have been ok...I've checked here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969371

just wanted to be sure....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Yes, latest ota complete stock other than being rooted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
Thanks going to tryout the Touch of Blue...appreciate the the work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
As of right now, there are no later releases. The dinc.does-it.net site also has this as an RUU, not rooted, of course. I think Pons focused on the "stock ota" as keywords rather than "latest," which seems to be your real question. Unless you like debloating ROMs yourself, Touch of Blue is the best stock Sense experience available.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
Thanks appreciate the insight. Been running ICS Jellybean and evervolv for most of the year and some of the info here on xda is a little outdated or scattered
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Sorry, if I came off a little abrasive. I'm not a morning person, and my coffee hasn't kicked in. I was under the impression of what ardax said: I was focused on this part of what you said "STOCK 4.08.605.15" and the thread title is "Stock rooted OTA 4.08.605.15 - 06-27-2012." Didn't know you meant latest OTA (which may or may not be different than this ROM), which would have a different/higher number than 4.08.605.15
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
Honestly, that's how I read it at first too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lap823:
I loved this ROM with tiny kernel.. any fix on the night reboots? that's what made change to something else.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D.A.N.:
Which kernal of tiny's are you using. gingersense?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lap823:
yes.. I was getting the 2am reboots. I can't recall but I believe I was getting the reboots with stock and tinys kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] normanx:
I like GB once in a while but since the OTA seemed to screw up a lot of phones I'm staying with Touchwiz. Until i hear otherwise.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Or use AOSP GB.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lap823:
Ok I found a workaround for the 2am reboots. It has to do with something with the SD card so I have tasker unmount my SD card at 2am and reenable at 5:30 am. Now I'm back on this Rom for the stock feel.

Does anyone know of any mods for this Rom like power menu options for reboot recovery and remove gps crosshairs and possibly others.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D.A.N.:
powermenu

use Quickboot for your power options, it's and app on playstore. I dont know how to remove gps crosshairs, i would like to know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
The advanced power menu and quick settings features are not currently available for 4.08.605.15 as a flashable. The mods from 4.08.605.2 need major tweaking to work on 4.08.605.15, which is what i did on my rom touch of blue. The crosshairs require you to modify if i remember correctly the systemui.apk. You have to find the crosshair image in the apk and replace it with a transparent pic of the same size, name, and format. If you want this rom with all the mods, your easiest and best bet is to use my rom. You can find it in my sig.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lap823:
Major tweaking.. ha I think I'll avoid that. I like the stock look but I might flash your touch of blue and see if I like it better.

sent from my old HTC Incredible. Has some scratches and nicks but still works good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lap823:
Has anyone been using the latest tiny kernel? I'be had music skipping so I had to restore backup for stock. Battery life is great on this. ;)

sent from my old HTC Incredible. Has some scratches and nicks but still works good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D.A.N.:
flashable quick settings

May i please have the flashable quick settings and power menu, i would like to try sparkplug and flash those with it.

thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
I do not personaly have the files anymore, but i got them here on xda several months ago. If i can find them i will post a link.

Remember these will not work correctly on roms based on 4.08.605.15 without modifying them, only on 4.08.605.2 and 4.06.605.3 based roms. So know what your doing, have a backup, and flash at your own risk.

[LG Thrill 4G] Cynagen:
I just wanted to share my overall experience with the Thrill from day one to today just because my trip has been one wild ride.

Day -1: A Thrill was flaunted, I saw the 3D capability and it's overall power and had to have it.

Day 0: Obtained Thrill for cost of first month's service (got on family plan), AT&T Froyo FW, immediately did research on getting GB onto the bastard cause I wanted built in VoIP calling.

Day 2: Obtained the release of GB the day after it came out and was confirmed (I hate rumors). My experience was a little faster, but not by much. Speeds didn't change, still getting around 4mbit down and 1.5mbit up at my place, and the data service at work is almost non-existent, AT&T fail.

Day ~15-20: Service cut off, stupid ex who I got on the family plan with so I could get the phone for free didn't pay her portion of the bill, all phones cut off.

Day ~40: Finally rooted and CWM'd the Thrill, made emergency backup of the phone. Started playing around with flashing CFWs onto it and overclocking it.

Day ~55: Finally got tired of walking around with just an MP3 player and wifi browser in my pocket. Walked into a T-Mobile store, told them flat out, "I'm bringing my own phone, I just need the SIM card and some service" and explained that it's an AT&T phone and I would get around that myself, I'm savvy enough. They tried to sell me an ICS phone (I was tempted), but alas, I like the 3D Thrill well enough I plan on using this badboy for at least a year until a new more awesome 3D phone comes out. Later that night, I flashed AcidHazard Kitchen 4, and obtained a network unlock key, now on T-Mo.

Speed comparisons using Speedtest.net app

@Home (native T-Mo tower serviced)

AT&T HSPA+ 5mbps down/2mbps up at best, average 3mbps down/1mbps up

T-Mo HSPA 10mbps down/4mbps up at best, average 8mbps down/2mbps up

@Work (native AT&T tower serviced)

AT&T HSPA+ 6mbps down/2mbps up at best, average 2mbps down/<1mbps up

T-Mo HSPA 4mbps down/2mbps up at best, average 2mbps down/1mbps up

The speed difference at home is night and day, at work I keep having to reset my data, I'm not the only T-Mo user in the office with this problem. It appears that AT&T's tower is being over-taxed and boots peered (T-Mo/Verizon 4G) users from data, but allows calls to pass through without fuss.

I'll be happy to share any details as I'm sure somebody will be interested.
[LG Thrill 4G] cmarriner82:
Myself. I love the Thrill. I've had the Motorola Droid 1 (Verizon) (Wasn't able to activate this for some reason. I must have gotten a bad phone, but I still got to keep it), HTC Droid Eris (Verizon), HTC Evo 4G (Sprint) and finally the Thrill (AT&T).

Bar none, the best phone I have owned. I don't care too much for the 3D as it is just a novelty at this time. I love how it feels in my hand, the other phones I have had just didn't fit well in them. Here's my breakdown:

3D: Meh. It's OK to "wow" my friends from time to time whom have never seen 3D.

HDMI: I wish the HDMI worked as well as it did on my Evo 4G, as I have to wiggle it sometimes to get it to work, but it's again a "wow" factor.

So those 2 items, which are what sets this phone apart from others are just novelty to me.

So, in point, it is the same to me as all the other phones, it is just comfortable for me.

Glad you're voting to stay aboard the ThrillShip. I know I will until my service is ready for an upgrade. :) By then Android 6.0 will be out and I will then get a phone for that OS.
[LG Thrill 4G] yourguitarist:
I've had this phone since November. Within the first week I rooted it and flashed doomed Froyo onto it. I liked showing off the 3D effect and taking 3D pictures for a while. I've had my ups and downs with this phone since I flashed gingerbread onto it. Lately I've been loving it because it's been pretty snappy! The next phone I get will be a nexus. I'm tired of having to wait on LG and AT&T for updates :P
[LG Thrill 4G] whycali:
I also picked up my thrill in november because it was the best phone att had at the time with "4g" I explained to the salesman that I needed att's 4g so it could match the 3g speeds I got on t-mobile with my HD2. I found out soon enough that specs on the thrill didnt match the software they had on it but hey its still pretty good. had some nice benchmarks with promethius rom recently but phone calls were an adventure. didnt know if it was going to lock up when I was answering the phone or when I hung up. After a couple flashes to fix that I ended up with no characters on the phone. I tried reflashing promethius and stock both were buggered. The one I flashed night before last seems to have everything in order. The exception being the included tether app will lock up the phone but native tethering works fine.

The one that fixed my thrill was thrill seeker 2.1, its not overclocked but its smooth and nicely themed

Download speeds seemed to be about 6-7 mbps for the longest time until I discovered the "phone" apn through a google search for settings. after the "phone" apn I am consistantly 10-15 mbps at my house (they just put a tower 1/4 mile from my house.) At work every network is crap including the wifi and I work on the IT floor.

to use 920 roms I didnt seem to need the flex tweaks that callmearia suggested.

If they had dual core wp7 phones I would already be there because I just like em.
