Downloaded the OTA update, reproducing the problem on my GTab P7300. Trying to find a solution.

EDIT: libdprw.so is bugged, more precisely this part:

09-20 19:44:06.235: I/dp_zip(9681): failed to open package /sdcard/ota.bin: Unknown error: -1

It doesn't pass the correct error number to strerror(int), that's the reason we aren't sure why it fails.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tracid:
The Galaxy R libdprw expects a .zip OTA (with .bin extension), not an RBMT .bin as supplied.

The Galaxy Tab lib is splitting the RBMT correctly. I need to rebuild the Galaxy Tab app with lower API requirements.

I am uploading the files now and instructions how to boot your phone in OTA update mode.

EDIT:

Download this: http://tracid.ro/FOTA-GalaxyR-DBT.zip

Extract the archive

Copy the "fota" folder from the archive to /cache/fota/

chmod -R 0777 /cache

echo -n "--install_fota" > /cache/recovery/command

reboot recovery

Awaiting feedback :)

EDIT2:

First post updated with new FOTA.apk - it uses the lib from Galaxy Tab Honeycomb, can be ran from GB and above, and it splits /sdcard/ota.bin to /cache/fota. It also verifies if it's an RBMT multidelta.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daFojtas:
I can do it, but how?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tracid:
From the recovery mount /sdcard/ then from adb shell:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img

This will dump the base system image. I didn't find any useful information about the modem partition(s) name, yet.

I have got just a 0% of FOTA's update, then reboot back to HC.

after reboot there are a update log, but those update logs are empty.

in fota status file i have got this "FAILŘř ☺ **********"

first time it fails at 9%, and everytime when i flashing a new copy of OTA file, this is 9% too.

I have got p7320.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tracid:
Check the first note:

You must have the corresponding base ROM installed for the OTA (the required version can be read at the end of the .bin file)

This means you need to have stock recovery, stock kernel, stock modem, and so on.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Arlicc:
so, at the end of the binary file is P7320XXLC4, i have got the latest P7320XXLC4 HC3.2 on tablet, recovery and kernel are stock, rom is stock, i have just added init.d from my side (coz i know how add init.d without kernel and other deep modyfications)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Arlicc:
I have reflashed with a stock rom and nothing, stay at 4% then reboot

the stock rom is right, is the same like before mhm http://www.hotfile.com/dl/172191173/35cd9b4/P7320XXLC4_P7320POLLC1_POL.zip.html

in stock recovery i have got "command: "/sbin/recovery", No command specified.

Delete /cache/fota/delta.Sbl if exists.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Arlicc:
The one before flash or those after fail-flash ?

after failflash there are a lot delta.Sbl files with a index. excaple : delta.sbl1, delta.sbl2

the same with deleted delta.sbl before flash.

4% then reboot back to HC 3.2.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tracid:
After app splits the .bin and before reboot to fota update mode.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Arlicc:
its look like this after OTA update without Sbl file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tracid:
Post the contents of the bigger update log.

you could alsp try

After the split
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Arlicc:

i have tried it sereval times, just with recursive parametr in rm() method, i have checked it with ls -l after rm -r, and everything was empty.

but i will try with this chmod recursive on splited ota's files.. maybe will be work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tracid:
repeat the same procedure, but delete delta.Sbl, if it fails.

after hours of messing with honeycomb i have got third soft brick(bootloop at first samsung logo[kernel logo]), and my brain have exploded... then i have found a solution!!

SOLUTION!!!! for GT-P7320

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

while flashing stock rom via odin YOU HAVE TO HAVE STOCK RECOVERY, coz after odin's flash, rom will flash files via recovery, which are needed for updates (OTA, offial), without them you will not able to update anymore with official way or OTA way, of course system work perfect without them, but you won't able to update anymore!.

ps. you dont need delete delta.Sbl file

Finally, it started to cause me a headache... thanks for your contribution. Noting it in first post.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Arlicc:
Anyone know maybe there is a way to install OTA update.zip? coz there is a small update (kernel update) for my tablet, and i think this will fix lack of hw-gpu acceleration.

maybe, copy them to cache, and type arm11_fota ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tracid:
Yes, rename it as update.zip and "apply update.zip" from recovery.

Got stuck at 75% for more than one hour, flashed CWM again just to download the update.log (attached).

Now testing again, also tested with Polish firmware P7320XXLC4_P7320POLLC1_P7320XXLB3_HOME.tar.md5 with a different Redband OTA, requiring P7320XXLC4_XXLB3_POLLC1-P7320XXLPB_XXLP4_OXXLP5 as base ROM, same symptom at 54%.

after the FOTA.apk splitted your files

You could also try to:

Tried the chmod before and after the split, also I've done factory reset and the /cache was always cleaned up, I've created the fota folder myself and ran chmod afterwards.

Great guide mate :)!
[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
Thanks for posting this.

Anyways, I have discovered for my self. That as long as I was on stock, I can flash the full Odin leaks without wipe. Just before I flash, I go into recovery stock version, wipe cache, then flash the new leak, after booting up, I reboot into recovery this time cwm and wipe dalvic and cache.

After a reboot, all seems to be running smooth and nice. Only one fc but more like a crash and that was with the xda app which has always giving me a fc no matter the device or rom

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khoa156:
The n7 is a WiFi only. Smartphones can tether because of their 2g/3g capability.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
Nexus 7 is not a Wifi Device only, it also has a microUSB connector so it could tether via that one.

And anyway, even if it has wifi only and to be honest wouldn't have sense to tether to other wifi devices (since they could gather wifi from the primary sender..) but why they took us the option anyway? If I wanna, just for the lulz of it, block my smartphone from getting WiFi from the router, and do thethering from the nexus 7, why they have to cut out this option? :S

I'm assuming he means the ability to use USB Tethering (as in, provide Internet to a device or computer, over USB, from the Nexus 7 and a WiFi). A bit surprised people haven't really heard of this option, but it is indeed missing from the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
Exactly.. it seems that noone knows about tethering FROM TABLET TO PC/OTHERS, when it is clearly an option in some scenarios.

Thank you for confirming that its missing. What a deception..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Eh, doesn't really shock me. It doesn't really seem like a huge amount of people do that, at least compared to wifi tethering.

That being said, do tablets/phones normally have the option? Usually I see it having to be implemented after release by the community.

Edit: Opps, misread one of the links I put up.

Still some clarification other than "No tethering on Nexus 7" would've helped. There are multiple ways to do it.

Also, why not research before buying if it is such a big deal?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
Non WiFi-only devices usually have it (my SGT7 had the option), can't really say if WiFi-only devices have it though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockNrolling:
OK I get what you're saying. But I fail to see in what instance I would want to tether (share the internet connection) from my N7 with another device via USB.

Would I tether from my N7 to my phone? My phone can use whatever WiFi my N7 is on. Not to mention my phone has 3G.

Would I tether from my N7 to my laptop? My laptop can use whatever WiFi my N7 is using.

Now, I could see the the reverse of both of those circumstances. If I had 3G but no WiFi, I would want to share the 3G from my phone with my N7. Or if my laptop was using an Ethernet connection and no WiFi was available, I would want to share the connection from my laptop to my N7.

I hope I'm just misinterpreting this whole thing and I'll be slapping my forehead when I understand, but from what I've read so far, that seems unlikely.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
WOW ..

My only Question is WHY.. Nearly all if not all laptops in the past 10 years have had wifi built in. I think its not a option because it makes no sense to have another wifi capable device to usb tether a available wifi network when it can just get the signal itself . Likely stronger and more stable . faster then adding another hop thru data transfer .

My phone has usb tether built in with ICS .. You can use a app to enable what your looking for .I think pda net does it..

Good Luck People in here do understand what your asking . The confusion is WHY ...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
That is pretty much it. Commonly I see it as "reverse tethering" where someone wants to use the computers internet connection on the phone via USB connection. Due to lack of wifi/cell data connectivity, or to save data on their plan.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockNrolling:
Ah, I understand. I see how that has the potential to maybe be useful :p. But at it's best, it seems like a very limited application.

Yeah. Like espionage724 said, his SGT7 had it. I'm not entire sure, but I've never heard of stock android having this ability. I'd be willing to bet that the manufacturer put it in themselves.

Moral of the story: do your homework before buying.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brizey:
I guess it would be useful if your wifi router was down so you could use your PC's internet access.

If implemented properly is should be faster for LAN file transfers (assuming you get good usb transfer speeds...obviously a PC on a gigabit LAN will crush wifi, so the usb 2 is the limiting factor...usb 2 is supposed to be a lot faster than wifi, but in practice, it does not always pan out).

I guess I could find a use for it. In our house 99% of the time only our tablets and phones use wifi. All of our fixed position devices are on a gigabit lan (media players, blueray player, HT recevier, wii, main PC, printer, even our laptop, which is really just the kitchen table PC now that we have a bunch of tablets). When I work from home I dock my work laptop on the LAN, and so does my wife. Wireless blows when there is a gigE jack nearby.

Is the android section of sony harmless to apple or maybe, since sony is one of the biggest and oldest eletronics company in the world, hav a patent portfolio that makes them sue-proof? or even worst, a gentlemen´s agreement with apple like you don´t sue me and i don´t sue you?
