Also, unless the process for updating this phone is radically different than any other vzw phone I've had, if they did push out a new ota, it doesn't automatically update your phone. Your phone merely downloads the update then you must ok the update to install.

Most of the time with the dx, if you were rooted and had modified anything, the update would fail to complete the update process due to the checks the updater script has.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ShapesBlue:
I still have an ota block zip file on my tb from a previous rom install. I kept it after installing your deoxed ics rom

Thank you to santod040 for sharing all this info. I just updated my 2 year old TB from BAMF-Sense3-RC4.9 to the latest and greatest, in preparation for its sale. :)

But holy cow, registering on that infectedrom forum was one of the most visually painful experiences of my life. I read through this entire thread on XDA first just in hopes that the download links had made their way over here. :eek:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
There's like 10 site themes from which to choose from.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] coltspackers:
While admittedly interesting and dark, it's not my choice for a default theme; I agree that's it's slightly disorienting at times. Though maybe welcoming wasn't what they were going for when they decided on it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Well I will admit, it's not blinding white or plain like XDA is and the default theme will never be everyone's choice for a default theme.

That's the reason for multiple themes on anything, not everyone wants the same thing.

When I was asked to theme the site, that was what I was asked for.

Some of the themes were never quite completed and some are pretty well complete.

Either way, I don't see where it's really an issue, especially for those that only go there long enough to grab what they need/want and bail.

Not to mention, there is also a mobile theme which makes it about as plain as it gets I think.

If it was really a concern, it could be brought up in this thread.

Then it could be addressed and considered actual user feedback, rather then just talking down about it here.

Just my 2 cents on the subject and the last I will speak about that in this thread. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ShapesBlue:
Being a former forum owner I'd make a suggestion when it comes to themes. I always had one theme on all the forums I ran or was a part of, mainly because having several seems to run into issues.

Truth be told if people want more than one theme then realistically they should have to donate something towards the cost of having them

Running CM10.1 on my GT-P3113
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mdphoenix:
I know I'm late to the party - but this worked wonderfully for me. I couldn't get it to work with the Rezound profile. But this was flawless.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] caffeiNater:
Right, but in order to choose a different theme, one must presumably be able to read some of the text on the site. :p

BTW, my monitor is hardware calibrated for photo editing. It may be that most users have their monitors set to higher contrast and/or brightness, which could make the default easier to read. I literally had to get 6 inches from my screen in order to read well enough to fill out the registration form.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
This is the kind of thanks I get huh? LOL

It's not that bad, it's legible enough to be able to change the theme.

People always find a way to complain about something.... :D

This thread is not to discuss the theme of InfectedROM, as I said, there is a thread there for that.

I will see about updating the default theme when/if I find time.

I don't get paid for posting these roms, or for theming the site and it's free to join, so it's when I get to it really.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] coltspackers:
Nah I agree, this isn't the place to discuss it. It's not that bad really, I think it looks cool. All your work is appreciated more than you know or what people say. Thanks buddy.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LeftyGR:
Can I get a theme with llamas and nuclear explosions?

{SGSIII using Tapatalk}
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FirePsych:
No llamas were injured during the posting if this reply.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] caffeiNater:
No, this was the kind of thanks you got:

--

Yeah I complained about the other forum, but also took the time to provide constructive feedback. Disregard it if you want. But whoever has a stake in that forum may be interested in making it accessible to more users.

I apologize for taking this thread off-topic and will leave my comments at that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LeftyGR:
The reason for more "enhanced accessibility" requirements on infectedrom is because some jackhole kanged his work (on a custom rom, not this one) not too long ago and tried passing it off as his own...

[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
And not just once either..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] oogravyoo:
Big thanks for this rom!!

Everything went smooth with the install and seems to be running perfectly..

upgraded radio has done wonders for me.. prior I would get 4g speeds up to 12,000kpbs and inside where I work 3g would get me maybe 600kbps max... these numbers were never solid and would bounce all over.

after the new radio I did three runs on 4g getting me between 25,000 and 27,500kpbs (14,000kbps up) and indoors 3g between 1300-1600kpbs..

Wifi tether didnt work at first but the directions in this thread fixed that problem..

Very Happy :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Trigster:
I've tried both of the Radios NEITHER of them will flash.

I'm putting either of them on my root 2gb SD card, and renaming it PG05IMG.zip.

Both files the boot-loader says no file. :(

EDIT: When I try either, they both say wrong image.

and i've checked the MD5 and both check clean. :/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Ok all children enough. Both sides said their piece to each other and I've deleted it all.

Move on. Last warning for all involved.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RunNgun42:
You sure the file isnt really named PG05IMG.

zip.zip

right? Do you have file extensions turned on in windows? When looking at a group of files in Windows Explorer do you see the extension for every single file out there? Such as .txt, .exe? Or do you only see the extension .zip on the radio file?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] k4v2n:
anyone else have any issues with the display time out. mine seems to dim at 15 sec. no matter what the setting is.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Turn off Power Saver.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] k4v2n:
power saver (power efficiency) was actually off, although it did have something to do with my batt. being low, no longer doing it since i charged the phone. not that big of a deal, i'll see if it happens again once the batt. drains. thnx for all the work (& the response).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mdparent:
Can we use ext4 for this or does it have to be ext3?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] je2854:
hey cujo, weren't you with the Charge?

anyways I would recommend the 4EXT recovery.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery 'location of recovery'

^^ the easiest way is to drag and drop from that specific location.

latest 4EXT recovery is attached
[Thunderbolt Android Development] musicfreak190:
You are awesome Santod, Please debloat it though :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bluefbk:
Thank you!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DefectiveRobot:
A debloated version is available via link in OP...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bluefbk:
Can anyone help me figure out how to get wifi tether working?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Wifi Tether:

Q.) What are the recommended wifi tether settings?

A.) Set as follows:

Update Su binaries in SuperUser app

Device Profile - Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

Some users have better luck using Rezound profile.

If you change this, you need to reload binaries and configs from wifi tether menu.

Wifi Driver Reload - checked

Enable Access-Control - checked

Keep-Alive - checked

Routing Fix - checked

Disable Wake-Lock - checked
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bluefbk:
Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stolenphot0:
soon as I finish my restore of SMS/MMS I'll post my settings.

I know I chose Galaxy Nexus 4G. Most threads and people have luck with Nexus One being selected.

EDIT: Santod beat me to it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
The htc rezound device profile works to if the generic ics/jb doesn't work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LeftyGR:
ext4 works for me!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
ODEXED versions are now in the OP link as well for those that prefer it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RBarnett09:
Make sure you guys are using the "thanks" button to thank Santod for his hard work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Santod I was just wondering how exactly does the OTA work? What are the patches patching? Anyways just interested in all that because I'm curious.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
This is a rom.zip, not the OTA .zip.

FULL ROM

The OTA applies patches to existing packages to make newer packages.

Essentially it applies any new parts to existing ones, to cut down on the bandwidth.

As you can see when turned into the full rom package, it's over 500 MB's.

The OTA is less then 400 because it is not complete by itself.

So this is all the patches applied to the last official GB rom from VZW/HTC through their automated process and turned into a rom for you guys.

Same as if they would have just made a full RUU.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
So basically it kind of works how the play store updates apps now :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Yeah kinda like that.

It's just their way of trying to keep our grubby paws off their SVDO technology, LOL.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] brizey:
So does the debloated version prevent OTA updates?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
edited......
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
It will do it again when the battery drains.

It's a power saving feature that auto kicks in when you get down to 15% or so even if you don't have Power Saver on.

It's to try and prolong your last bit of battery as long as possible before it dies.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] b16a90teg:
I can't get any of the links to work. Is the rom and radios available anywhere other then Infectedrom?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ryan1407:
radio's? yes. just google it. ROM? no. just register for infected, its not that bad and in return you get a usable t-bolt for free.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] b16a90teg:
I have no problem registering, if the site worked in the first place lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
The main server that hosts the forums and the files (Androidfilehost) went down a couple of hours ago.

It may be back up tomorrow sometime, if not, then it should be back up by Monday morning.

It's being worked on.

**EDIT:

It's back up...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stmasi:
So, are we just renaming the rom to the PG05IMG.zip as well and just follow after the radio rom install? I've pasted the mecha_7.02.605.06710RD_ICS.zip to the root of the SD card and tried it that way, but also renamed it to the PG filename and tried it that way, but neither work. Am I missing something? Thanx.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
The rom needs to be flashed in recovery. You have to fastboot flash the radios first though. Put the radio zip on the root of the sd card and name it PG05IMG. zip. Make sure you don't have .zip .zip
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Santod, will the most recent OTA be integrated into this ROM?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...e-update-7-02-605-10-for-the-htc-thunderbolt/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stmasi:
Okay...finally got it installed, but for some reason, I no longer have any sort of internet access...only phone calls are working. Thanx again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
I intend to do something with it for this rom.

I will know better once I have the files in hand if I will rebuild and upload all 4 roms, or if I will just put up a deodexed and an odexed flashable zip.

Like I say, I will know better once I have the new files. But I do intend to do something with them for everyone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] druidath:
So now that VZW came out with a "update" to ICS, i started getting update messages.

can i update and not have it screw with the phone, or is there a way to disable the update?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
To turn OFF future OTA updates, there is a file in the /system/etc/security folder. The file is named "otacerts.zip". Rename it "otacerts.zip.bak", or whatever you want. That will prevent future updates.

I would not apply the stock update to a rooted rom.

Especially if your rom is not the odexed one and even still I wouldn't advise it on that one either.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] druidath:
Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Smithson15:
I changed otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak and my TB is still automatically downloading the update. I only have an option to install or defer with a maximum defer time of 5 days.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Use Titanium Backup or similar app and freeze Updater.apk
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
For those concerned or faced with an update already trying to be pushed, I just made this:

OTA_Killer.zip

Link Updated
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swieder711:
Any replies to this request? I would like to get rid of the bullseye in all cases. Anyone have a MOD?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] druidath:
i froze the apk in TB, and then flashed the zip you created.

Still getting update pushes.

thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Just download the updated OTA rom later today or tomorrow or whenever is convenient for you and flash it.

No more worries. :good:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
OTA Update!!!

ALL Stock Roms and Radios Updated to the NEW 7.02.605.10 Base! :good:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rpoitras:
Kick ass, man. That was fast!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swieder711:
Is there a changelog for 7.02.605.10?

I am on 7.02.605.06 and was wondering what the changes are?

EDIT: Can the new ROM based on 7.02.605.10 be installed over the same ROM that is based off 7.02.605.06?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swieder711:
Do we need to wipe or can the updated ROM with 7.02.605.10 be installed over the same ROM with 7.02.605.06?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
I always advise a clean install, but there's nothing stopping anyone from trying to dirty flash it.

There wasn't a huge amount of changes to make a dirty flash unreasonable.

Although they did manage to patch just about every apk, but some much more then others.

Really just depends on the individual setup as to how well that may or may not work out for you.

So make a backup of your current rom and try it.

If it doesn't work out well, or you have issues, then either do a clean install or restore your backup.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] druidath:
Thanks again for all the work.

I noticed on the IR site, you say to use 4ext instead of CWR. I still have CWR, and am not sure about 4ext, just simply because i haven't used those tools much. CWR a few times to get from stock to CM7, then when trying to get a BAMF rom to work, then back to CM7 before finally wanting to get back to stock.

I guess my question is what's the deal with CWR vs 4ext. can we still flash the odex-debloted w/CWR?

thanks again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nokiabolt:
ROM works awesome! Thanks, Santod. Anyone's thoughts on new radios?

druidath, I swore by CWM for the longest time but gave 4ext a shot and love it. Works great!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
CWM hasn't been updated with in nearly 2 years. 4ext is much better in every way really. Just try it and you may actually purchase the app.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nokiabolt:
I'm having issues with wifi signal and the newest update. I dunno if the radios would affect that though. But wifi does drop a lot for me. Finally turned it off
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
If you are running the latest update, I highly advise updating the radios as well, as they all work together.

There were Ril parts in that update that correspond with the new CDMA radios.

To me, that was the biggest part of this update, was the update to the Ril switch and the new cdma radios.

Not to mention all the updated framework jar files and libs.

The rest was mostly fluff to push the new radios if you ask me.

Albeit the HAC fix was needed and there were some users having Mms issues that I saw in other forums,.

Though neither of the threads I have related to the OTA or my side projects using HTC mms, showed issues with Mms that I have seen.

Any fixes are always welcome from HTC/VZW, but bottomline is yeah, I would say update your radios on the new update. :)

That's likely your problem.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nokiabolt:
They were updated along with the factory reset and flashing new ota rom. Thank you so much for your work by the way. Much appreciated :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mobitote:
Did a dirty flash + new radios, so far everything seems to be working ok. Will report back if I encounter anything out of the ordinary.

Thanx santod.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] druidath:
i take it a dirty flash, is just a flash over the previous ROM w/o wiping?

i tried that, but no dice. still got update notices. ended up doing a full wipe and install. device was slow at first, especially to sync gmail and download from the app store. i rebooted the phone, took off wifi, and that seems to fix the problem.

and did you say the radios were updated and needed flashed?

thanks

edit: do we need to reflash the OTAKiller if we don't want future OTA?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RGardner:
Update... now I'm getting "no root" error.

Edit:

Frag that... There's two SU prog on the phone. Competing binaries. Updated one and it's OK.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Only way you would have two Su "programs" would be from dirty flashing.

Glad you sorted it by updating binaries though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RGardner:
Well, that's not it. I always wipe - sometimes twice to make sure I'm clean (wait... are we still talking about the phone?).

I have the original with the green android guy with pirate eye patch (Superuser by ChainsDD), and one with the a mock Superman shield with a # on it (SuperSU by Chainfire). I think one was on my TB when I first rooted right after I got the phone, and the other on my Tab which I first rooted right after I got the Tab. And now they're both on both. I don't reckon I need them both.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Well, the only one I included in the update, was SuperSu, not the one from ChainsDD, just the one with the Superman logo.

So either your wipe method isn't working for you, or perhaps you restored some apps and data and didn't pay attention to what was being restored.

Again, I'm glad you sorted out your duplicates though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] _highway_:
i just got prompted for that new OTA . . . what can i do / delete to prevent this?

EDIT: updater.apk was already renamed, i got rid of the otacerts.zip and then had to wipe the cache in recovery . . . it is still trying to update . . . any suggestions?

i should really just try and find a nexus . . . but this phone finally has great signal and is working great (aside from this update ****!)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] quickdraw86:
Flash the OTA killer that santod added to the OP. His .zip prevents future prompts and also deletes the update from your phone if you've already downloaded it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] -SmithTech-:
RUU Available?

Is the RUU available that the ROM is based off of?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Verizon didn't push our ics update out as an Ruu so at this time there isn't one available. It was a set of patches that make gb into ics.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Flash the OTA Killer I posted or simply update to the latest OTA via the stock rooted roms in the OP.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] _highway_:
thanks, im flashing the killer now, hopefully have the time to flash a new rom this weekend!

thanks!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] druidath:
so i flashed the updated ROM, and noticed a weird little thing. My alarm sounds keep changing. sometimes my ringtone. i'm using the stock clock/alarm app. and using an mp3 as my ringtone.

any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
I don't know, I suppose you could change HTC's settings in the Build.prop and see if that helps.

I wouldn't think that would be necessary as long as your ringtone has proper permissions and is in the proper system folder.

/system/media/audio/ <choose folder>
[Thunderbolt Android Development] druidath:
i just checked. my ringtone wasn't changed. but i put the specific file in the /s/m/a/ directory and will go from there.

i also checked my alarms. i have 2 set. the both should use a stock alarm sound. the first/earlier alarm doesn't change. the second/later reverts to "New Day" even though i also want it to be "instance" i change, hit apply, and boom back to new day.

i was able to add a 3rd alarm. and it seems to keep the desired alarm sound.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
I didn't change anything from how HTC had it, so I'm not really sure.

I just know if you are not using a stock sound, it should be in that directory and permissions set appropriately.

Like I say, you can hijack their defaults in the build.prop too if you want and see if that suits you better.

ro.config.ringtone=QuietlyBrilliant.mp3
ro.config.notification_sound=Zeta.mp3
ro.config.alarm_alert=NewDay.mp3
ro.config.cal_notification=Epsilon.mp3
ro.config.msg_notification=Gamma.mp3
[Thunderbolt Android Development] druidath:
i find it unusual as well. but i think i may have found the problem.....

i may have hit cancel instead of done when changing the alarm. so the change never went through.

ill keep an eye on it. if you dont hear back it is fixed!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Updated: OTA_Killer_V2
[Thunderbolt Android Development] quickdraw86:
Thanks for a second version. What's changed in v2 from v1?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
I just added a line to remove the actual OTA Client as well.

That should put a complete stop to any chances of it even trying to update.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nokiabolt:
I don't seem to have any problems anymore with Wifi. I bet it was the dumb Century Link router being the culprit.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mdphoenix:
Just installed the latest update, and now I have programs telling me I'm not rooted. How could I have possibly screwed this up? Does the update unroot?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] druidath:
i think that happened to me either when i installed the OTA update. My SU said no root, but i checked with Titanium or Root explorer, and both granted root access. I rebooted and I was fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pogibry:
Thanks for your time and efforts on getting this for us! :good: :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mdphoenix:
Nothing could gain root for me. I reflashed the Super SU and it's all good now.
