I have tried this on my g1 g2 zoom and galaxy tab with 2.2 2.2.1 and 2.3.3

it has worked for all.

Currently i am on the leaked gingerbread rom with overcome beta 1

Maybe bada cannot do it.

Ps my uploading isnt working will try later to post a pic of what u should do and see

Hi today I found a file which has one line:

"nUser-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_1_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile / 7D11 Safari/528.16 \ r \ n "

Maybe we can change this user agent. File is located in: "\ SystemFS \ User \ Br \ RmConfig \ iphone.ini" (strange name)

Also in this file there is still a pretty interesting line: "ACCEPT_EXT_DOWNLOAD =" I think it defines extensions for download.

Sorry for my English :)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
Yes the iphone.ini comes from the WebKit, it is no longer a secret that samsung uses some Apple relevated things for bada.

But this ini is part of the ported WebKit, for they that don't knows what WebKit is:

It is a HTML-Rendering-Engine, Browsers like Dolfin, Dolphin, Safari are all based on it.

By the way the Bada WebKit from 1.2 is terrible. But iphone sites working just I know, you only need to find the correct link of the page, some sites have different features for iphone and android wich goes through javascript, this sites checks if their web client connects to the site, if not they block scrolling and things like that. This is a blocking feature for other clients and browsers. The creators don't wont that the content can be used without their app.

The best sample of one of this sites is imo.im this is one of this sites where only a certified app can scroll on it, and so on.

While developing Voluntas i have seen some such sites, maybe it could be possible to add such checks in the application so that everyone can use such sites.

Manipulating the Ugent string would be a good way for that, but for me it doesn't worked on even this site written below.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] astrotom:
Yeah, even I thought that was extensions for download. I added all the MIME/ Internet media type extensions for different formats. I flashed the the FFS file which had the modified iphone.ini file. But it didn't work.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] chrismxnr:
Hi,

did anyone have success already in editing the useragent-string? Currently I'm living in Japan and I am not able to use my Wave-S8500 with my messaging-flat.

The reason is, that the provider Softbank checks the User-Agent String when sending MMS and if the phone was sold by them, the connection is blocked :mad:. I found several tutorials to fit the string with android and valid ones for softbank, but I found no way to do that with bada...

I really would like to use my Wave again instead of the crappy phone I got from softbank... :(

Best regards,

Chris
[Bada Software and Hacking General] chrismxnr:
Ok, yesterday I stumbled on the answer in another forum (Thanks to mylove90 from sammobile-forum).

You can change the User Agent String as following:

-First enter *#33284*# and change the Debug-Level to Middle

-After reboot, enter *#7092463*#, then go to Module Settings>Browser>UAgent and just change the string (it would be a good idea to note the orginial one first ;) )

-If wanted, enter *#33284*# and change the Debug-Level to Low again

My Wave is working now with SoftBank, after changing the User Agent String to one from a SoftBank Phone :)

hi there.

i got my legend 3 days ago

i got it from some guy that used it for a while, he told me that it has installed superuser whit it the phone can run normaly, including updates, reading every simcards etc....

now i've read that for legend is released 2.2 sw, but my phone is running on 2.1-update1

and dont show me new updates when i click to check for it...

so guys plss can some of you post me here a step by step tutorial what should i do

to get my phone running on froyo or gingerbread if its possible

ty in advanced

confused android user :confused: :confused: :confused:
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
There's already plenty of tutorials in Development / stickies, some are not stickied, so you might have to search a bit...

As for the update, best way for you check few ROMs and install via ROM manager since you are rooted... B0.7 is particulary good one ;)
[Legend General] vip333:
ok i manager to install cyanogenmod 6.1 on my legend works great :D

btw why i cant login my acc on XDA app in phone?
[Legend General] psyionx:
you can go to the market and download Rom Manager... my preferred way in managing rom. it can download rom too ;-), if you found new rom that you want to test other than the ones found in Rom Manager. download it and put it on the root of your sd card so that its easy to look for.

eg. Blay0's B 0.7 rom found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=866849

or

CM7 from here. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=legend

and remember to Wipe Data and Cache if its a new ROM to avoid boot loop.

you can then use "Manage and Restore Backups" to jump between roms that you've backup or rename them to not get mix-up...

Have fun ^^
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwolf0:
Does anyone know what type of extended batteries to expect from third parties for the galaxy s ii? I remember there were some rather hefty and bland looking ones at the early stages of the galaxy s release. Did they get better/better looking and how soon do you expect the first ones will be available for the s ii?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apwhitelaw:
I personally don't like extended batteries and I would only use it if it was something that made the whole phone bigger(but not much bigger) because having it all slim, then suddenly bulge out where the battery is, just doesn't work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwolf0:
Well, it already has a hump on the bottom, like the galaxy s, so making the hump the new thickness and evening it out throughout the back wouldn't make it too much thicker. Some people don't care about thickness anyway and it could be a good powerphone with a big 2400 mah+ battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RelliKDoG:
I use 2000mah original Samsung battery and it takes my phone looks more beautiful in my point of view. The thickness of back cover will increase to be the same level as bottom hump(where there is a speaker hole)

But there are many 3rd parties battery with much larger capacity (3500 mah I think?) and with the new back cover. You should look in eBay.

lol i wondered the very same thing
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
Okay, this was just an idea I had, but lets see if it works... assuming everyone can keep it civil here.

Post here when you receive the update, and put in the following information:

Date/Time Updated

Previous build (DI18, DG27, etc)

Geographic location

Months/Years with Sprint

With that information, maybe we can build a pattern and have an idea of when everyone's updates are scheduled.

Edit to add: Apparently release has been pushed to 9PM PST/12A EST-2/22/11

Don't the Android phones have some sort of internal identifier??? Kind of like Blackberry having PIN numbers. I thought Android had an internal identifier unique to each unit.

If nobody on this forum has received the update yet, I would have to imagine it has not begun. However, androinica.com is reporting that it has begun.

that issue us irrelevant we just pull the update zip out of the system cache and then the devs will package it pre rooted and then with odin you can get official froyo rooted
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
I was curious about that as well, but obviously no one wants to post their esn here. If that is all it is, then bummer. But I don't know, I don't work for Sprint or anything, that was the point of the thread :)

Based on the previous information, it sounded like current build had more to do with it than ESN, but again, I don't know, that's the purpose of the thread :)
[Epic 4G General] Darkk69:
Yeah, best we can do is just wait until somebody gets it.

[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Guys if you get the update DO NOT INSTALL OR REBOOT. PM one of the developers and we will help you dump the cache. I have heard of several people getting the update but failing during the install process... It hopefully won't be long.
[Epic 4G General] hysonmb:
I assume that we'll need to be on the stock rom to get the update. Is that the case? I'm about to flash it back right now...
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
Yes. You will need to be on Stock DI18 with all of the bloat apps installed.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I'm sure someone will release a streamlined update.zip nixing the verification.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Those of you flashing back, make sure you don't install it as we don't know if we can even root it yet with current methods.

Sigh, been with sprint since 2001 (2008 on this particulr plan) and no update. Am rooted (with z4root) had uninstalled some sys apps (ie nascar, football, etc), but re installed in prep for ota update... also had clockwork rom manager installedbut never used it (as I was waitng for froyo and didn't want to get into the business of messing with stuff too much without a pc) but now not so sure I will get ota... no pc either.... yeah, not entirely sure what to do... (am still on stock rom)

(Any help?)

Would be happy to post anything needed if I do get ota...

The OTA will fail to install since you have clockwork. You need to put stock recovery back. Or use the cwm flashable di18->eb13 update that is in the dev forum and the wiki.

thanks I agree, besides i want to see if there are the same issues with the ota that the ones who manually did it

[Epic 4G General] boominz28:

I remember hearing updates were based on the ESN of the phone, the earlier the phone was bought to its release date, the faster it was put on queue.

Also, between 9PM to 5PM (PST) when I have heard most people get their frozen desert.

If it is by location and not phone ESN then they will probably be rolling out another wave that covers the second half of users in the West and simultaneously single out half of the users in the Central area. By Thursday, my theory is that people in the East coast will experience the goodness.

There is a link on samsungs site, that is a EASY upgrade. Check my posts for the link. I just upgraded to official sprint/samsung/froyo and so far it has been flawless. It was so easy to update using their tool.

1 dowload the program

2 install the program

3 launch the program. Program will "walk" you through what to do.

If you can't wait use it. It was easy n awesome. Only hassle was backing up everything first.
[Epic 4G General] jacjyd:
Well I don't actually have handy use of a computer right now (posting from my epic :)) so I just wanted to maximize the possibility of getting the ota update...which this thread is becoming less and less about. :)
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
I'm not sure if you noticed but there are a few threads already talking about the download. This thread is for those that chose to wait
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
The OTA file and the 91.14MB file on Samsung's site are the EXACT same. The difference? One is downloaded to the phone, and the phone updates once you OK it. The other, you put on the card and manually tell the phone to update.

In the end? The phone takes the same file, applies the update using the exact same tool and you end up with the exact same phone had you done it manually or waited. Some like to hurry up and wait....but we all have waited far longer than anyone should ever have to.

I heard that if you hold your breath while waiting for the OTA that you will get GB instead. Not sure if it's proven, but it's worth a shot. ;)
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Just updated my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=964260

I was able to gmail myself the link and download it directly to my phone. Quite handy if you cannot load it to the SD card or do not have one.

Perhaps someone can chime in if they know if storing the file on the phone will be an issue or if it needs to be in a certain DIR.

For SD card, just put it in the root of the card!

No OTA.

Denver metro running strong 4G.

Phone was picked up on the first day release.

I tried to manually update via the phone and it said my "system is up-to-date".

No new notifications.
[Epic 4G General] Elixis:
I suppose that kills the theory about how quickly you bought the phone from release. It has to be shot out to certain locations then. Maybe they're saving bigger cities for last due to heavy downloading from more people. Just an idea.....
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Several people here have confirmed DLs, one of which had 2 phones and only 1 got it. I do know however that some are waiting because they believe it's their only option. I discovered there is another way to get the file on the phone without using a computer or OTA, which is important.
[Epic 4G General] In_da_buff:
osmosis?

or is your clan's healer mage lvl 72 wizard gonna cast an update spell on it?

it's late so maybe I missed something but if you don't get the update OTA or download it to a computer and transfer it to the phone -- how else would you do it?
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Just a few posts above yours, download it directly to the phone. It can browse the internet, and download files......... thus 3 options. I took the link to the samsung file, gmailed it to the phone, clicked download, accepted the agreement that popped up and using 4G downloaded it to the phone.

Read the BOLD at the top of the post, it tells EXACTLY how to do it.

I guess technically that makes it an OTA update? Granted it's not pushed to you, but what's a few clicks?
[Epic 4G General] paulkenosha:
Wish people would get over it and realize this is the ota status thread, not the How To Manually Update thread. We are clearly all waiting for the ota to hit our phones, maybe for the excitement, maybe cause we complained about it so long we want the full experience of the ota, or maybe no true reason. I get that people are trying to inform that its not necessary to wait, but if you look back 50% of this thread is explaining over and over how to go to samsungs website and do it. Not trying to argue, im just saying.

[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
I just want to say my take on the situation with OTA updates.

As of my understanding it does NOT matter where is your phone located physically or how long you have being a Sprint customer. It depends on the some number associated with your specific phone on the Google server. Your phone will receive update when your number is up.

Last time I got OTA on the third day of roll out and I don't see any indication why it would change this time around. I expect to get mine somewhere tomorrow afternoon and if I'm not getting it before weekend, then I'll do it manually.

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
