[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
For anyone still stressing over this, here's how I found it for someone else, download your previous OTA (in his case its his current version which was 4.20.771.17) H3G__001, it will be a zip file, open it, you will see a few folders, top one is data, inside that is preload and funny enough, in there is all the apps your all missing.

copy to your SDcard and then move /preload and its contents to your data folder on your phone, change permissions of the preload folder and the apps inside, your OTA's should work now unless something else is wrong, like non stock recovery, which you can also pull from your previous OTA if available.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark0ne:
Btw, any idea how to install these? :) If I put them in data/app or preload and reboot, nothing happens (should I have stock recovery?).

If I install them manually they don't work.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
you don't have to "install" these apk, only copy the apk to*/data/preload and set permission correctly.

/data/preload folder permission is: rwxrwx--x

and all files in the folder are: rw-r--r--
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark0ne:
Exactly what I did.. But after reboot, when trying to open the apps I get the "send/don't send" error message.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdziE:
great, anyway how you managed to flash OTA using TWRP :D, can you give me the step? and also can you please print it for me the permission for /data/preload and permission of the apk under those directory?

anyway I was downloading your KKBOX, but its only KKBOX_Android, not KKBOX_Android_widget.apk

or only that file that you can find?

nah, this is what I'm looking for thanks [MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION] :cool:

anyway the user should be root or system? any clue.. I compare with app it has system owner while preload is root (because I create it using root)

root@m7:/data # ls -ld preload
ls -ld preload
drwxrwx--x root [B]root [/B] 2014-06-23 22:52 preload

root@m7:/data # ls -ld app
ls -ld app
drwxrwx--x system [B]system [/B]2014-06-23 01:03 app
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark0ne:
It seems I didn't have the 'KKBOX_Android_Widget.apk', but here it is.. along with all other apks for the HK rom (well, with SoundRec and RingtoneTrim not working):

root@m7:/data # ls -ld app
ls -ld app
drwxrwx--x system system 2014-06-24 01:38 app

Also the apks are 'rw-r-r'.. but they don't work..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdziE:
thanks mate, so far mine is working. after you push to /data/preload change the permission to 644 and change the owner and group to system

root@m7:/data/preload # ls -l
ls -l
-rw-r--r-- system system 286436 2014-06-21 22:34 KKBOX_Android_Widget.apk
-rw-r--r-- system system 9003211 2014-06-23 22:26 SoundHound_Freemium.apk

change group and owner: chown system:system your.apk
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark0ne:
Thanks! I'll try that.

Regarding the OTA flashing via TWRP... like I said, i modified the updater-script from "META-INF\com\google\android\" in order for TWRP to like it (OTA Verified app helped a bit) and simply flashed it..

After that I was stuck on a reboot loop (soft brick I think), but nothing a factory reset won't fix :)

I factory reset, then flashed stock recovery (dunno why.. I though that is the way the sys installs preload apps :P), restored HTC backup and I have the latest stock rom.

'Course I flashed TWRP back.

So... if you want, I can also upload my modified OTA.zip (the original OTA downloaded by the device, but with some lines deleted from updater-script) for you to try to flash (BUT ONLY AFTER A NANDROID BACKUP! :D)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdziE:
hmm I see, I'm trying to install OTA using stock recovery. I was reading in many forums or link OTA only works with the following condition:

> stock recovery and rom

> S-OFF (LOCKED/RELOCKED)

anyway thanks I was downloading it and will try OTA now.

I was trying and failed in HtcRingtoneTrimmer and Sound Recorder.. I know now why its failed, the files that I gave to you has different sha1sum

this is from update script

apply_patch_check("/data/preload/HtcRingtoneTrimmer.apk", [b]"d4ef040a3d1bffb78fca0c0a2576eef9c25340ac", "8a7899fc3128c78fa9653a3718a651af96ccf25b"[/b])

apply_patch_check("/data/preload/HtcSoundRecorder.apk", [b]"33cc2bfeebdce7337256aa20368f65461091c7c4", "994498bb74192cba51de07af5ae60a5d368c3e84"[/b])

and this is from my device

[~/Android/data/data/preload]$ sha1sum.exe HtcRingtoneTrimmer.apk
[b]878144eac3def7980087520512bf7ad696712f71[/b] *HtcRingtoneTrimmer.apk

[~/Android/data/data/preload]$ sha1sum.exe HtcSoundRecorder.apk
[b]471abf63ef975f07c53bf19b50ed4c64e064e712[/b] *HtcSoundRecorder.apk

we can try to change the sha1sum, but not sure what is the implication of doing this :D...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark0ne:
Yes, hence my excitement when I did it! I'm not even a dev :)

I'm S-ON (but unlocked) and can't S-OFF and I also read the same info over and over, but flashing the official way it kept failing at HtcRingtoneTrimmer.apk (unexpected content) so I was really frustrated and started following the error messages... And TWRP did it! :D

I'm uploading the OTA now (mind it doesn't have kkbox widget, soundrecorder and ringtonetrimmer), if it finishes before I fall asleep (3 AM in Romania) I'll post the link also. :)

Remember, backup with TWRP before flashing, if something goes wrong, just restore. If the flash is successful and it keeps rebooting, just do a factory reset. Goodluck and goodnight! Will be back tomorrow.. I mean today.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdziE:
hahaha.. you can change to S-OFF using firewater, it is so easy. find the thread in XDA, S-OFF within less than a minute.

tomorrow I will try to change the sha1sum of HTC Trimmer and SoundRecorder based on what I had :D..

its 12AM now in Ghana, I was googling some information about modify update-script and so far it looks ok to modify it.

I think you have failing because of installing using TWRP and didnt modify the sha1sum :D... anyway have a good rest...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark0ne:
EXACTLY! Sorry I didn't explain, I'm very tired...

So.. having realized this myself.. I tried updating the SHA1 in the updater script.. but the zip's signature was changed when saving, so failing at checking the update... Then I decided to modify the updater-script according to my needs, not minding that the zip signature is changed becase..... TWRP doesn't care! :))))

So... the upload is done, here is the link:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/b1ht3xims2negkc/OTA_M7_UL_K44_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_5.12.708.3-4.20.708.10_release_371665.zip?dl=1

Good night!

Will read tomorrow to see if you managed to update.. you seem more skilled than I :)

---------- Post added at 03:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------

I was failing at first with stock recovery... then I used TWRP and did it, like I said in the previous...

I know about firewater... I get the "whelp" message, meaning it doesn't work for me... yet.. maybe when a new exploit is discovered.. fingers crossed.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdziE:
for firewater it works for me with HBOOT 1.56, not sure which version do you have. anyway if we modify update-script it will change the signature then we cannot do nothing :D... the other way is waiting STOCK ROM or NANDROID backup from other 708 version :D...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark0ne:
That's what I said... the signature is modified and will fail with stock recovery... but flashing with custom recovery will do the trick... it's the same thing.. Like I said, I am now stock with 708, latest version.

Also, I tried firewater with hdboot 1.56 with all roms (stock, ARHD, ViperOne, with stock kernel and custom kernel), didn't work. Now I have 1.57.

Please bear with me. I am new to using unoffical roms on my xda and want a bit of advice. I would like to use the WM2003 on my xda and o2 are taking ages with an upgrade if we ever see one at all?

This report gives me a little hope

Is it possible to build a rom at jeff's rom kitchen using 4.00.05 ENG WM2003 for my XDA. Will it work ok in the uk with O2. If it will, what tools do u recomend for upgrading / backing up the rom. I am currently using the latest O2 radio stack is that going to be compatable? Will it be possible to go back the current O2 rom so I can use an offical upgrade if it arrives. Has any one tried it with a UK O2 XDA ?

One last thing what are the chances of this ending baddly (i.e. my lovely XDA becoming an expensive irravesable paper weight) and how can I reduce / remove this risk.

Thanks for your help.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ace_1:
Update

For those of you interested I have some news. After reading many many forum posts I took the plunge. I upgraded it to the rom I was asking about before. It worked like a charm. No problems at all. Even got gprs working first try.

No quite sure about the microsofts claim "Constant Data Connections". Not sure quite what it means I am supused to be able to do interms of recving calls and using GPRS. May be i need the radio stack upgrading before that will work.

Anyway I just want to say thanks jeff and the developers of the Rom Kitchen and keep up the good work. :)

In the One X the vibrate is not so strong, and it only vibrate for very short time. If you put the phone in pant's pocket, may can not feel it.

I had a HD2 before One X, its vibrate is very good.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
I have read in some forums about the "sweet spot" of cpu frequency (The cpu frequency at which power consumption by the phone is the least possible).

I want to know what's the "sweet spot" of MB526.

Anyone?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
300 mHz, because the vsel is lowest at that frequency? Not sure what exactly is meant by sweet spot
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
reply

Sweet spot is the cpu frequency at which power consumption is the lowest.... Any frequency lower than that will actually increase power consumption...Apparently, for the Galaxy SL, it is 400Mhz....
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pradeeppk:
I think we need experiment for this. I am trying 350 mhz now
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Doesn't power consumed=>vsel logically? So 300mHz:confused:

Apparently not. Too low frequencies can make the phone unuseably slow + increase power consumption:cyclops:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
I can understand the phone being slower, but why consume more battery at lowest vsel:confused:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
No answer for that:o. But tests have shown that it's true.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
How have you found that out? I have personally had a positive experience with lower vsels
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
I think 300Mhz is the sweet spot.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Exactly. As vsel decreases, power consumption decreases and because 300 mHz has lowest vsel, it is the least power consuming state
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
OK, well...

I also don't understand this relation between low frequency and higher power consumption, but there is no real difference in battery usage between 300 and 600mHz for me at least. Just set Max Freq to 300 or 600 and use ondemand/conservative governor.

How come the downloaded OTA JB file has ..tar.tar extension? Should it be renamed to ..tar.md5?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
It is .tar.md5. lol I'm not sure what your looking at buddy :good:
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Maine_Coon:
Well, I clicked on your link for the OTA download, downloaded 1.47GB file, it has a name "OTA-Jellybean-4.1.2_system-boot.tar.tar".:confused:

"I might be crazy, but I am not stupid"(c) :)

I am on Win8, IE10 machine if that matters.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
See attached image. Odd that yours is .tar.tar..? What browser are you using?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Maine_Coon:
Win8/IE10.

BTW, same thing happened with TWRP recovery which was supposed to be ...tar.md5. I ended up flashing it from adb rather than Odin.

OK, I have changed the extension to tar.md5 from tar.tar.

Flashing as we speak. We'll find out soon what happens.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
Very odd... I've Win 8 pro on my other laptop that i use to test all my odin images downloaded with Chrome and they all come in with tar.md5. It may be a ie10 thing, thinking the extensions should be different.

Nice thing is, since it's just the boot and system, if it fails (which it shouldn't since it does it's own md5 check) you can just revert to your backup.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Maine_Coon:
No go.

The tab reboots itself after the boot animation.

Did wipe cache, Dalvik, then did factory reset, reflashed. Same thing.

Going to restore TWRP backup. Oh well.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
Try downloading with a different browser to see what happens.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Maine_Coon:
Will do.

Opera gives the same ..tar.tar extension, so I am going w/Chrome. Chrome gives the correct .tar.md5 extension.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
That is honestly, the strangest thing I've ever heard. Theory: Opera and IE both thing the MD5 is a mistake and they rename it .tar.tar. Since it IS a .tar with a .md5 extension, it makes sense.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Maine_Coon:
I think you are right. Both IE and Opera outsmart themselves, they are used to the MD5 files being just a few kbs, and not having double extension, so they "correct" this.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Maine_Coon:
Again, no go.

I did:

- Titanium backup;

- TWRP backup;

- Wipe cache, Dalvik, factory reset;

- Powered off, rebooted into the download mode;

- Flashed w/Odin successfully.,

- rebooted.

The tab keeps rebooting after the start animation.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
Did you flash the modem? It shouldn't make a difference.. but who knows.

Also, after flashing with odin, try wiping cache and dalvik again.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Maine_Coon:
Yes, I flashed both Modem and the second zip file.

Gimme a few..

No, the same. Wiped cache and Dalvik immediately after the /successful/ flash from Odin.

Keeps rebooting.

You guys MUST have something on your development tablets I don't have.

Oh well. Like you said, it is not bricked and I can restore my TWRP backup.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
nothing out of the ordinary... well, i'm putting together a recovery flashable update right now that may work better. I'm pushing it now then will flash and test.

I have a method that will allow everyone to upgrade to JB OTA, but it requires several steps that I may post later today if I can't figure this out.. That's how I originally got my upgrade.

1. downgrade to g3 (recovery, system, boot, modem) (unofficial "stock")

2. flash update.zip for j1 (unrooting and relocking)

3. root/unlock/cwm/twrp

4. flash my raped update.zip for l2 (jellybean)

5. move on
