I have decided to give her hell and am almost done with the RUU/OTA UPDATE. I'll report back in a few when I get things all buttoned up.

Relock: Check

RUU: Check

Unlock: Check

Update: Check

Remained Unlocked: Check
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Yes that's what I believe it is

Yup looks right so far, if it locks after the OTA try a few more times to run the token
[HTC Droid DNA] Sjflowerhorn:
I sent you a PM trikster. If you could grab a screen sot of that just so i can be sure of the filename :)

edit scratch that, my man (.Trickster) just posted it right while i was typing this. but thanks anyway :)
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
As long as you've read through this post and know what you need to do and have your .bin and your backups, go ahead. It's a lot less difficult than the original unlock with the dual DOS screens.

There isn't any single update.zip or similar file name. This update runs via a scripting system only recognized by 1.15's stock recovery. That's why those with custom recoveries have to use the RUU to revert back. As I posted, the OTA didn't work on the first attempt. When it rebooted, I forced another OTA download. It worked the second time. You might have to keep trying. It might be another issue like Aroma installer is for custom ROMs for us.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
@docnok63 to answer your question about the kernel being unsecure it is i was looking around and found it " ro.secure=0 "

Please vote in the poll too that would help me out a lot I appreciate it
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
Everything appears to bo good. Just reflashed recovery, going to restore my sd card data and restore my nandroid.

Thanks for the guide, and following along.
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
OTAPkg.zip was just the name MicroMod gave it when he zipped up his cache folder. He could have just as easily named it 2.05cache.zip and it would be as useful to you updating. It's not going to work.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
OTApkg.zip was the actual name of the download, micromod didn't change it. It was the actual file that is downloaded when you download the ota.
[HTC Droid DNA] Sjflowerhorn:
That is exactly why question was for the exact name of the filename but apparently, no one is either A, nice enough to help me out or B, capable of doing so. I guess im just going to wait it out. Not worth asking people to help you out these days, it seems people can point out everyone elses inability to answer my question all while showing the same exact quality.

But thanks for answering the only part of the question you could ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
When it auto downloaded to my device it downloaded this.

"/cache/somefolder/OTAPkg.zip"

I have clear cache since and don't recall the folder name, but that was it.
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
Thought you already had it?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Hold on I might be able to find you the answer... just give me a minute :)

edit... check this out:

I just hack 'n' slashed the post but thats where it is i think i said /cache/fota/OTAPkg.zip but its /cache/fumo/OTAPkg.zip

You. Are. Welcome. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Sjflowerhorn:
I did have the right filename just slightly off with the folder, the occasionaly nay saying 2 cents throws me off from time to time however. Hopefully this works, if not back to waiting again

Not mad at all. I'm not your bro and it still hope it bricks.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
let me know if that works for you and I can put that in the OP
[HTC Droid DNA] Sjflowerhorn:
how about maybe next time you just dont answer a question you dont know the answer to. thats how phones get bricked.
[HTC Droid DNA] barkandlink:
Worked for me. It took 8 times to reunlock but now rockin viper with new base. Thank you all.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
You are welcome :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Sjflowerhorn:
and a heads up, you should mention that RUU'ing might not be necessary beings that the decrypted ROM was released with all of the IMG's inside of it. that way people can just flash the /system, recovery, or the kernel or so on and so forth. I personally have had less failures with fastboot than any device RUU.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Eh I though of doing that myself when I initially went to test it out but I decided against it because I wanted to take as few chances as possible to ruining my phone (I don't have an extra $100 laying around to replace it with) and also the OTA writes over all of them anyways so I didnt bother.

Im off to bed ill be able to answer questions in about 8 hours either post them here to PM me ill get back to em i promise :)

NIGHT
[HTC Droid DNA] Sjflowerhorn:
Failed so far anyone has any ideas on how someone who didnt get the ota yet could update otherwise im just waiting.

so far i tried re locking and then i RUU'd. And since i havent been issued the OTA officially by BIG RED i then attempted to

Fastboot flash TWRPrecovery.img

reboot recovery

adb push OTAPkg.zip /cache/fumo/

adb push suinstall.zip /sdcard/

adb shell

chmod 755 /cache/fumo/OTAPkg.zip

exit

adb reboot bootloader

Fastboot flash stock recovery.img

Fastboot flash stock boot.img

reboot into stock recovery and FAIL

I feel like it is worth redownloading and giving it another shot(would be a 4rth time technically lol)

i just realized the entire time it was telling me that the stock recovery can't read my sdcard. . . . . . hmmmmmmm ill try plugged into usb i know the nexus 7 was wierd like that.
[HTC Droid DNA] [[ Cold ]]:
does the OTA work only while in the US or just the with verizon sim in, i´m currently overseas
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
You need to be on the Verizon network to get the OTA.
[HTC Droid DNA] mattmc5413:
I flashed the stock recovery using flash image gui. Took the ota update and my bootloader remained unlocked but I did lose root. I simply installed twrp recovery and flashed the Su.busybox.Installer that I used to root the phone originally. I am currently on the new update rooted and bootloader unlocked.
[HTC Droid DNA] draperyfalls:
In there a way to manually update it? Im currently using the dna on T-Mobile still stock.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Well now that we have s off things just got a little easier.
[HTC Droid DNA] dwizzo:
What if we want to flash the OTA if we are running the stock ROM?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
In the Original Dev section

then what you will need is the stock htc recovery and stock kernel too... or just use the RUU and it will take care of all of that but you will lose all of your data on the entire phone and sdcard so back it up first!!! and make sure that you have your Unlock_code.bin BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT THIS if you need to unlock your bootloader do it before this guide and make sure that your CID reads 22222222

So you need to have the bootloader unlocked in order to flash the OTA?

Just got the DNA running on T-MO but what to flash the OTA. Just a bit confused...:confused:
[HTC Droid DNA] dwizzo:
OK. So for unlocked, rooted, s-off, fully stock kernel. Just need stock recovery and then you can flash the ota?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
You need to be on Verizon to get the OTA and yes before you take the OTA you need to unlock the bootloader
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
If you are s-Off just flash the radio.img no need to take the ota
[HTC Droid DNA] dwizzo:
That will update all the other files the ota updates as well?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
no it will only update the radios but i think thats all anybody really wants wants with the OTA
[HTC Droid DNA] dwizzo:
I'm interested in the other fixes as well, such as: incoming messages correct timestamp, default browser update, contacts list improvements, audio quality for wired headsets, etc.

Can't find stock recovery for the life of me though or any way to flash the ota without ruu'ing the phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] tlgem:
Ok so Ive read through this thread twice :confused:

Im still on the stock software 1.15.605.4 710rd & havnt unlocked yet

Won't the update come thru after I unlock ? and then I can re unlock if necessary

Your just relocking the ruu anyway
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
what you need to do if you are on 1.15 is unlock your bootloader with the superCID exploit and then go to htcdev.com and finish the unlock process before you do this guide because if you take the ota before you ever unlock you will be stuck locked
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Then you can flash the stock Rom and kernel from the ota.
[HTC Droid DNA] tlgem:
I understand - I finally unlocked via super cid etc then followed your process & I am at the reunlock part - 10+ times & it still hasnt taken but not giving up

What my question was is why ruu the same 1,15 I was on? and then relock wouldnt that only be somthing you need to do if on another rom

Just curious

Will report back when this finally works

Thanks for your work
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
the reason to run the RUU is to get back to 100% stock so the ota takes and you need to lock the bootloader before you run the RUU and then Unlock it after the RUU so that the ota doesnt lock you out... keep trying to run your Unlock_code.bin or switch usb ports and try it again
[HTC Droid DNA] tlgem:
Got my lock unlocks mixed up in last post oops been a long evening thanks for the reply :)
[HTC Droid DNA] ervel flick:
Can the 1.15 RUU be used to downgrade from the 2.04 OTA?
[HTC Droid DNA] ridvan79:
My telephone 1.33.0001 hboot version.1.15 ruu flash error ?how Get Back stock ruu ?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
No, the ruu won't downgrade the firmware so if you've already taken the ota and haven't unlocked your bootloader already you are out of luck until they can figure out a way
[HTC Droid DNA] tlgem:
FINALLY! After about 15 tries changing usb ports & changing usb cables it reunlocked :good: took the update & it stayed unlocked :cool:

Just has the magenta unlocked no tampered or anything else maybe that will show when I Flash recovery etc

Now I will wait for s-off with update

For anyone else having problems just follow the instructions & keep trying IT DOES WORK!
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
You have to lock your bootloader then run the ruu as administrator then unlock your boot loader again by reflashing the Unlock_code.bin file from htcdev (make sure you have it before you attempt any of this)
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
You should be able to s-off now you just need root and make sure you have supeeCID and I'm assuming you have superCID because you have an unlocked bootloader

Oh and please vote in the poll thanks :)
[HTC Droid DNA] tlgem:
Already voted

Supercid is all 2's

Being a little cautious - 1thing at a time - Been away from android for a while but its all coming back

Thanks for help
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEvolution:
Where can I find the radio.img in the OTA, or anywhere else? What is the proper procedure for its flash?

Not OTA'ed

unlocked

S-off

Eng. Hboot

Viper 1.1.3

Cubed 3.1.3

TWRP 2.4.1

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
OTA 2.04 Radio.zip download this then run these 3 commands

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip radio.zip

let it finish and then enter the following

fastboot oem boot
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEvolution:
Done thanks, is this the same zip listed in the non eng.Hboot radio thread?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
There is only 1 radio.img becuase we have only had 1 OTA so yes its the same
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEvolution:
thanks for your help

What should I use for a full backup / restore?

One newbie question: what should I use for a full backup / restore, pref. free and painless please, which would bring my phone back to exactly what it was before I perform these steps!?

TIA.​
[HTC Droid DNA] LakerStar25:
I'm having some problem with the ruu. I have relocked and when I run the ruu it stops and says my battery is below 30% to complete the procedure but my battery is at 98 percent I have tried another DNA and same thing even redownload the ruu and still same thing. Anyone have any ideas?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
make a nandroid and then copy it to your desktop

ive never heard of this sorry i cant help you on this one... try a different pc maybe?
[HTC Droid DNA] Spaded21:
If I don't have my original unlock token, if there a way to get it off my phone some how?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
do you still have the email that it was sent in... if not no you are out of luck, you could try to get another from htcdev.com but idk if that would work
[HTC Droid DNA] sccrgoalie1:
Worked for me as well but it seriously took 15 to 20 tries to reunlock. Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
That's normal for some people
[HTC Droid DNA] Spaded21:
Ah, I forgot it was sent in an email, found it thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
make sure you keep multiple copies of the Unlock_code.bin file... cause you never want to lose it
[HTC Droid DNA] Spider210:
So I have my phone all set up just the way I'd like I know people said to perform nandroid backup

Currently I have unlocked, s-off and root. and frlashed with touch clockwork recovery

Where would I perform a nandroid backup and would that backup everything text, pic, videos, installed apps.

I would like to have the update but not have to reinstall and reconfigure my phone all over again...
[HTC Droid DNA] Hackenstein:
So I'm guessing the new update will cause you to lose root/unlock? Do we know this for certain?
[HTC Droid DNA] Spider210:
Why now I was able to get the update to go through, I restored my nandroid backup after i relocked, ruu, and then updated firmware to newest version. I reunlocked and then restored my nandroid. Now I am back on old firmware and it wants to upgrade again....

anyone have an idea?

i used clockwork to make a nandroid and restored it after the firmware update and now I am back to 1.15 and its requesting to install update again
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
you arent on the old firmware you are on the old software... big difference, either flash the mod that removes the OTA notification or flash a 2.04.605.2 rom...
[HTC Droid DNA] Spider210:
ok maybe I got confused, so why would the ota keep trying to pushed to my phone if I just flashed the firmware.

what did flashing the firmware do for me if i restored my nandroid backup?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Boot into recovery and click backup, yes it backs up EVERYTHING, and i mean it

the updated firmware helps make things like signal quality better and the software depends on the firmware to do what it needs (i am bad at explaining this) the firmware is low level software that helps run things better like the radio's the software is what runs at user level... your software is 1.15 (pre-ota) so when the phone sees that its being told its not up to date because its not 2.04

what im trying to say is firmware and software are 2 different things and the reason its telling you to update is because the software version you are running is not 2.04 (it doesnt look at what firmware version you have)
[HTC Droid DNA] zanyguy:
Quick question: after we reflash the Nandroid backup that we take before starting on this process, will we be back to the old software version (1.15)? Is there anyway to then get on to 2.04 software version as provided in the OTA (and not a custom ROM)?

Thanks for the detailed guide.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
If you don't restore your nandroid you'll keep the ota software. If you restore your nandroid the only thing you'll have is the updated radios, and not the software.
[HTC Droid DNA] zanyguy:
How about if we go to advanced restore in CWM and choose to only restore data, cache and sd-ext from the Nandroid backup and not the boot and system. Would that work to keep us on the latest sw version provided in the OTA while still keeping all our original data?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
The only way to keep the 2.04 software is to not restore your nandroid or flash a 2.04 rom (you keep the firmware no matter what now that youve taken the OTA)

Oh and your welcome :) please vote in the poll if you havent

You will keep all of the firmware that was included in the OTA not just the radios but yes you will keep it

No, what would most likely happen would be either FC's or you wont be able to boot, you are more than welcome to try but stuff might not work after you do that
[HTC Droid DNA] zanyguy:
Please help because all I want is to get on the latest sw. version but also keep all my apps, settings and data intact and not have to go over it all over again. What are my options?

If I restore my Nandroid backup, can I then apply a custom 2.04 ROM or even the stock 2.04 ROM will that achieve my purpose?
[HTC Droid DNA] Spider210:
Thanks for the explanation I didn't understand it last night but it makes perfect sense this morning.. Lack of sleep doesn't help

Sent from my Red Droid DNA

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

Yes I did that with the rim provided by the op it worked fine. All if my apps and data restored with nandroid then applied updated rom. The tweaks are just perks

Sent from my Red Droid DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Ok these are your two and only two options:

1) Backup all of your apps with titanium backup then flash a 2.04.605.2 Rom (you will have to do a full wipe or you will get a bootloop) and then use Titanium backup to restore your User Apps + User Data (you cannot mix and match system data at all)

2) Flash a 2.04.60.2 Rom and just restore all of stuff the long way

Im sorry not trying to sound mean or anything but this is the downfall of flashing roms is when there are system updates because it usually requires full wipes and then you gotta do either of the two things i posted above

oh and with any 2.04.605.2 Rom the only kernel you can use at the moment is the bone stock 2.04.605.2 kernel (none of the custom ones until HTC releases the source code)

I personally took the OTA for the firmware only and then flashed back to a 1.15.605.4 Custom Rom and a Custom Kernel
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:

[HTC Droid DNA] zanyguy:
Thx for your replies and help. I have figured out a way to do a full update to 2.04 without having to completely reconfigure the phone:

1. Get Facepalm S-OFF: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155069

2. Flash radios: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155915

3. Flash kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2149951

4. Apply OTA stock ROM 2.04: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2149095

Please confirm if my understanding is correct
[HTC Droid DNA] zanyguy:
Can anyone pls validate if this is correct?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
If you are soff all you need to do is flash stock recovery then just take the ota (I'm not sure if you need to flash the stock kernel or not) then after you take the ota just flash the custom recovery again and then the superuser-busybox.zip to root
[HTC Droid DNA] zanyguy:
Your link to the S-OFF thread isn't working...
[HTC Droid DNA] sidgrafix:
This worked perfectly! and it appears I was fortunate to get the latest OTA right after the update to 2.04.605.2 710RD I received another update notice for 2.06.605.1 710RD (figured what the heck..) and I still have S-OFF :) "so you can add this method works for the latest as well" RUU was a pita.. had to run htc sync to get that to see my dna..

thanks much..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrkXd:
So, a month ago i've installed exynos abuse and rooted my Galaxy S3 I9300 and everything went ok.

Yesterday, after an android update notification i have disabled the exploit and then unistalled exynos (i've tried that because the update went wrong, without specifying any details).

Disabling the exploit i thought that there wasn't problem with camera, but now i see that it doesn't work (green screen).

Installing again exynos abuse i see that i can't exploit the phone now, all the "Root options" are disabled, and the first one (Root Device) says: "Cannot root - your device is (currently) not vulnerable". In "Path Exploit" the "One click secure exploit patch" is disabled and that says: "The exploit is already being disabled at boot".

Pratically i can't do anything in menu, the camera doesn't work and the android udpdates aren't available because "your device has being modified".
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Go to the exynos abuse thread and there is a flashable camera fix there

Which one? I've searched on a lot of thread before, but i found solutions for specific rom (i have the original system) or developer fix, but i don't know where to start :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrkXd:
UPDATE:

I've tried with Voodoo Anti ExynosMemAbuse (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2051290) but at boot it says "Unable to apply the vulnerability fix" and the first voice in menu for the status says "Okay, you system is not currently vulnerable to this exploit".

But the camera still doesn't works.

Hi,

do we know if the SOD problems are software or hardware related? ( Was gonna link to the SOD thread at Sony, but cant because of few posts. But google "Xperia V random freeze in standby" and your there..)

I am about to send my phone in for service, but since this will propably take a couple of weeks im hoping a software fix would be released.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chunlianghere:
should be software problem.

if u were to flash a custom rom, the number of SOD is very little, or dont have.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] laaw:
Anyone that can confirm that SOD problems disappeared on custom rom?

And if so, which rom?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] phhuang:
I set the minimal CPU speed to 486 MHz and it helps.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] laaw:
So you had SOD, set min cpu and it helped?

Which firmware version?

How frequent was the SOD?

How long without?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] phhuang:
I use the latest JB rom. I got 1~2 SoD per day before minimal CPU setting change. Now it stands well for more than two days without SoD. The Wifi is on. Maybe my good luck but worth trying.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rashkae:
with Wifi off and stock ROM, I'm now on 9 days without SoD.

Though my old Ion on the older ROM has never rebooted even once... :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] laaw:
Wifi of is not an option. Like a sportscar without an engine, but nice to get solid indications that WiFi actual is the problem. Seems like it would be fixable by software then, if only Sony care to take action.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] phhuang:
Hmmm... a SoD again. :crying:
