you missed an important step... unlocking it.

boot into bootloader (lower volume + power key)

connect to computer

If I remember correctly type:

fastboot oem unlock-go

and after your data will be deleted, you can now flash your recovery with TWRP.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidblue:
Oh, forgot to mention - why do you still get a message that update 3.0.10 is available:

Your phone is still contacting to silent circle servers and it tries to brick you. soon to be explained how to stop it :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vendoelpiso:

Hello:

Phone already updated to 3.0.10 using your links.

No problem at all. Thank you very much.

Do you think you could provide additional updates in the near future?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mirageqb:
Good afternoon!

Make please the step-by-step detailed instruction on updating 3.10 and receiving root for simple users of lamers))
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidblue:
Hi

Most likely yes. We will see :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vendoelpiso:
Updating simple instructions

Updating is really simple. Don't forget to make a backup copy, in order to preserve your data.

- Download both files from androidblue links (first page, do not unzip the files, you can name it as you wish)

- Copy both files to sd card. Put the sd card into your BP2.

- Power off the phone

- Go to boot loader (Press volume up and power button until your phone turns on)

- Once in boot loader, volume keys act as up/down scroll keys, power button acts as enter key

- Select update from sd card. Navigate filesystem (volume keys/power key) to sd card and select 3.0.9 update file.

- Again: Select update from sd card. Navigate filesystem (volume keys/power key) to sd card and select 3.0.10 update file.

- Select Wipe data and cache (factory reset).

- Select Reboot system.

- Wait the phone to start setup menu (be patient)

Done !!

DO NOT update through OTA in any case. Wait for androidblue indications (thank you)

Hi, i'm getting an error when try to apply the 3.10 update, "E:Error in /sideload/package.zip" any idea what is going wrong? maybe corrupted download? i'll try to dowload and apply the update again to see what happens. thanks

*Solved, after first boot with 3.0.9 I powered off the phone and go to recovery then update with 3.0.10. thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] testadura2:
Hi, Thanks for the work.

What about phones that allready are under 3.0.9 (with the 10Mb update).

Can we just apply the BP2 3.10 update.zip? do we need to make a full wipe before or after install?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xdaede:

3.0.11 .... tick tock tick tock....

I'm curious to see whether or not Silent Circle will keep their promise of delivering the update 72 hours after google released their update.

Anyone who received a message there is a new update... please holla at me ;)

[UPDATE 5/5 - no sign of update from our friends in Silent Circle. This is not really a good sign...]
[Miscellaneous Android Development] saturatio:
What if my device is not ROW byt AN, will work the 3.0.9 update anyway? You need to be in 3.0.7 in order to install 3.0.9?

Thanks!

Hi there

not sure, the main challange is the fact this update patch the modem firmware. I'm waiting to see if we will have 3.0.11 update, didn't see it yet. If so perhaps will be better to go to the 3.0.11 - will share when it will be released.

3.0.11 Available?

Not really sure.

My "grey" blackphone (manually updated to 3.0.10) ask for a 3.0.10 update, but changelog is about 3.0.11.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yoelnico:
Hello, im currently using the 3.0.3a row rom

Im really lame with this so i wanted to ask how to properly do everything.

If i read well this is what i should do?

1) enter settings, about phone, scroll down to build, press until you are a developer, get out of about phone.

2) enter developer menu, allow oem unlock, shutdown phone, keep unconnected to computer/power.

3) install abd tools.

4) press the volume down, and then while being pressed press the power button. release when you see the "android" menu

5) magic time. connect cable to computer, type

fastboot flash recovery recovery_BP2_310_ORIGINAL.img
fastboot reboot

6) phones reboot. quickly press the power up + power key before the phone reboots. if it rebooted, just keep on pressing

them until it reboots again and release when you see the android screen. welcome to recovery.

After this what should i do?

(sorry, really lame user)

Currently I havent flash the recovery 3.0.10

The recovery i have is this one:

[IMG="recovery screen"]http://oi67.tinypic.com/2zovja9.jpg[/IMG]

Do i have to flash the recovery or can i do it with this one?

After this i flash the 3.0.9 via adb sideload or can i put it on the sd with the name update and i go to the recovery and put update via sd?

Oh btw a question: Is there any way to unlock band4?

The country im living now works on band4 wich would be in the NA version not the row, can I just flash the NA 3.0.7 on the RW version and it will work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] altrin:

Where is 3.0.11.

I am waiting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] akikoo:
You can update to the 66 MiB 3.0.10 just by using the built-in recovery and having the update files

on your SD card. No ADB needed for that. I did it by first installing 3.0.7, then 3.0.9 and lastly the 3.0.10.

Hi all, thanks for this post, very useful! Just got my phone blocked by SC and as the IMEI was not registered they refused to unlock it.

I dit re-install the 3.09 then 3.10 and 3.011

Now everything works fine, even a SC subscription

Just a question: the phone now had a message in the Home space security center "no valid licence, Silent OS disabled". Plus the About the phone shows "requires Silent Circle licence"

But everything else works. Should I do anything or this will not affect the phone?

Thanks for help. Cheers!

Update to 3.0.12 not working for me... Gives me an error about the build. Mine is MOB31T and it should be MOB31S to apply this update.

Any idea if I can do anything about this problem?

I always updated till 3.0.11 using the files provided here. Thanks for any help and the good work

Edit: Real error when updating from recovery:

Package expects build fingerprint of SGP/BP2/BP2:6.0.1/MOB31T/25:user/realease-keys or SGP/BP2/BP2:6.0.1/MOB31T/bp<-sync05291030:user/realease-keys; this device has SGP/BP2/BP2:6.0.1/MOB31S/14:user/realease-keys.

E:Error in /sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Edit 2: OK, I managed to update this way, and I guess it's probably due to the fact that the stock recovery from 3.0.10 is not the same as the 3.0.11 one (I had TWRP installed), so update 3.0.12 thinks I'm on 3.0.10:

1) re-installed 3.0.11 row from the stock 3.0.10 recovery found here on the first post. Then tried to update to 3.0.12 again with the small update found a few posts back -> still giving an error at the end but went a little bit further.

2) wiped full data, dalvik and cache from the stock 3.0.11 recovery (reset device) and then reflashed the small 3.0.12 update. And tadaa, it worked!

Thanks again for all the files found here and everyone who's helping!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vuche:
If you have a genuine device (bought the "expensive" way!), The you can do it using the it's own OTA update.

If not, do it as described in these posts step by step and using the files provided here, or you'll end up with a blocked device.

Direct update to 3.12 won't work, it's a partial update only.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Guizard:
It's not a genuine BP2 :), I have read the entire thread but I didn't understand if I can update directly from 3.0.3a to 3.0.11 or I should first flash the 3.0.9.

I'm afraid that 646 Mb is not a full update but the "standard" blocking update from ****Circle to gray BP2.

You can safely update using those files, they are original from S***t Circle.

You can't update via OTA, because the ROM downloaded will block your grey BP2.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] vendoelpiso:
Update to 3.0.14

You can safely update to last version from any previous one whenever you use a full update ROM (first post). Also you'll have to do full wipe.

You need to update from inmediately previous versión if it is a differencial update. In this case wipes are not needed.
