STOP SPAMMING FAKE OTA UPDATE.ZIPs

This should be common sense, but just in case it isnt: DO NOT SPAM FAKE UPDATE.ZIPs. Come on, guys. We're not 12.

This is a development community, and doing so will hamper actual development when the real OTA is available.

I am issuing infractions to all fake OTA "uploaders" as spam. Repeat offenders will be dealt with by other means.
[Nexus One General] willverduzco:
Yes, and I am cleaning this up.

[Nexus One General] guitar_east:
I second that...
[Nexus One General] dan1431:
I guess I do not understand trolls just as I do not understand why El Goog has said the OTA is rolling out and yet it seems to have barely hit anybody's device (except for a few Google Employees).

Why?

Gingerbread 2.4

I remember reading that 2.4 was Gingerbread for single core CPU devices. Could be a load of crap.

It's funny how many people fell for 2.4 twitter guy's bull****. How could he have just received an N1 unless it's an Ebay retread?

I will patiently wait for G-bread as opposed to giving myself a nuclear wedgie reading troll horse ****.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
I didn't miss it, it just doesn't change anything. The update is not being held up by caches.
[Nexus One General] Sarg92:
Has anyone installed that supposed 2.4 system dump? Is it legit? A Tweeter called charansingh (I'm sure he is a developer here) has put it on his phone and said that there are no differences between 2.3.3 and 2.4
[Nexus One General] dextroz:
'Now' or 'no'? Big difference ;)

Curious about this too.. anyone?

Core App Updates

I've noticed that I've been getting updates over the last few days of all the core Google Apps. Gmail, Maps etc.

Wonder if this is a pre-requisite for 2.3.3?
[Nexus One General] sknoslo:
I don't know what I find more annoying, the OTA trolls or the CM7 trolls.

I can't speak for everyone, but I choose not to use CM anymore because ever since like CM4 or 5 they have been adding too much bloatware. (preparing flame suit).

I personally prefer a pure AOSP build, so I'm here waiting for proper drivers from the official OTA release, which coincidentally is what this thread is about... not CM.
[Nexus One General] netzpirat:
Same as me! I still want offiziell Android ROM with root....
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
You can can remove bits of it you don't like? My CM7 build is stripped right down...
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
They aren't necessary for GB but some simply add GB exclusive features.
[Nexus One General] jadephyre:
what annoys me most is the DSP Manager and ADW Launcher.

I wonder why they didn't stick with the Default Launcher and let people choose a different one for themselves.

One of the Devs said they want to keep it as close to stock as possible... well, for me swapping out the launcher for a different one is a considerable step away from stock.
[Nexus One General] grg01:
I couldn't agree more.
[Nexus One General] WorLord:
You're certainly speaking for me.

I appreciate the envelope CM pushes. I really, really do. But compared to a simple rooted stock ROM with maybe a *couple* of *minor* feature additions (black background on MMS, 180 degree rotation, etc. etc.), it is the very definition of unstable and bloated. It is simply unsuitable for my every day use, and I even refer to the stable branch in that... and this is because CM is an AOSP ROM. AOSP is always more unstable than build-based ROMs. Even 6.1 gives me FC's where a more-or-less standard release-based ROM does not.

Now I WOULD be interested in a CM that starts its development effort with the latest released build number as a base framework, instead of the latest AOSP for that branch. That would be hot. But until then, CM has more value for me in being pioneers, and getting strange things to work that most believe were impossible - like, say, FM Radio and power-saving kernels and such.

As for Google and this rollout, I can say only this: the only "mistake" Google made was in telling anyone anything. Froyo is fast, stable, and fully functional. The additions to Gingerbread are nice, but its not nearly as important a jump as Froyo was.

So it comes when it comes, and all this talk of "teasing" or "mismanagement" or especially "the rollout is a fake PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN" is pure, tiresome hyperbole. There are a lot of really good reasons we don't have our update URL yet besides "the rollout is a fake", and those reasons are very believable and make more sense than Google saying something that isn't true.
[Nexus One General] sknoslo:
This is true... how ever I'd rather add what I want to AOSP, rather that removing what I don't want from CM7. Personal preferences I suppose. Either way, I'd prefer the proper drivers from the OTA, because I'm running a AOSP build of Gingerbread right now, and there are just certain things that don't work without the proper drivers.
[Nexus One General] NexusCrazy:
I'm quite new to Android and the Nexus One, I used to have an iPhone 3GS jailbroke etc.. Am so glad I got shut and got the Nexus One. I would of rooted and flashed a custom but only got the thing a few weeks ago and have been expecting the update every day since.

What's the norm, when G states it's started rolling out an OTA ? Is it normal to have to wait a day or 2 ;) or do you normally receive the update within a few hours ? Also what do I look out for ? I'm pretty sure I'll get a notification, but what off ? I've done checkin with logcat installed but just get checkin.FOTA_CANCEL } What's that about ? Will doing checkin really speed things up ?

If I don't have at least the update file by weekend I think I'll just try and root and flash a custom ROM anyone want to tell me were to start ;)

Thanks and soz for all the questions but like I said Im new to this neck of the woods ;)
[Nexus One General] dtmfjunkie:
SIM back in iPhone until Google decides to please their customers...

(hopefully Murphy's law kicks in shortly now that i've switched back to iPhone)
[Nexus One General] :
iOS 4.3 vs Android 2.33

It would be interesting to see what comes first... iOS 4.3 due for next monday 28, or our so expected Gingerbread...
[Nexus One General] netzpirat:
I think not! You punish yourself, google only has too wait ;)
[Nexus One General] Salival:
If you expect to get updates at day when they rolled out, and when company write you will get update in comming weeks, and you don't get it even after two months you should stick with iPhone ;)
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
By Monday we'll have a dev section full of GB builds....or so I hope :p
[Nexus One General] reddragon72:
And when 2.4 comes out you going to do the same thing?

Seriously I cannot understand why you all want to be such whiny arse little female dogs!! Is there something wrong with 2.2+ right now? Obviously not since you've been using the phone this whole time with the old OS on it. WOW simply WOW!!!!!
[Nexus One General] NexusCrazy:
Couldn't jump through that many hoops agin ;) apple got it locked dowd so tight, saying that G seem to have Gingerbread locked up damb well, I really thought they'd be an update file posed by now! But seriously got enougth to deal with trying to keep my iPad out of Jail, just want gingerbread on my unlocked Un ruined nexus one ;)
[Nexus One General] BANE:
Thanks rusty.

I'm running stock android I'm not rooted so I'll keep my eyes open for this update before gingerbread.
[Nexus One General] NexusCrazy:
Don't completely agree, it's G that's got everyone so fired up, but must admit by the time we get it, it's going to feel like a big let down, after all the fuss and following the forums.

Like I said I've put a time frame on it now. If I don't have at least the update.zip by weekend. I'm going to root and flash a custom ROM, just looks daunting first time round! :confused:
[Nexus One General] shanxybeast:
Google be 'trollin', now we're ragin
[Nexus One General] dharani1234:
It's thursday and I mostly expect the update to be received today :D:D

Google has previously released most of it's updates on thursdays ... so keeping my fingers crossed .......
[Nexus One General] NexusCrazy:
Well isn't that how it's supposed to happen, G wouldn't give a release date for the Nexus S and not release it on that date and not even say anything. I hate the iPhone being so locked down and controlled by Apple but when they promised an update an update we got. Not that i'd ever go back and I'm not moaning, this is my first update on Android and just expected better. :)
[Nexus One General] Sarg92:
Another Tweeter has said that they have got the OTA for Gingerbread.

[Nexus One General] shanxybeast:
Url or gtfo
[Nexus One General] braingravyuk:
No word of a lie, my mate has just got a notification for an update but he's out at the moment... going to try and talk him through logcat.. if you just logcat will it say straight off?

He got his nexus one direct from Google in January by the way.
[Nexus One General] spielnicht:
Don't get me wrong, I love Google, just a little p---ed that it took them so long to get Gingerbread out the N1 and now I'll have to wait for Moto to roll it out to the Atrix to try it out :-(
[Nexus One General] twflys:
Back in the day there were so many N1 users that a download link would be available within minutes of the first OTA. I wonder how much the N1 population has dwindled over the year?
[Nexus One General] chromiumcloud:
The good ones are still here ;)
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Lol I know right... Every stock n1 user sold their phone now its just us custom rom guys... Its been out for months and we still wouldn't know! haha

[Nexus One General] PrawnPoBoy:
I'm guessing Google isn't actually pushing out the OTA yet and are trying to calm the masses. Every time I have heard "a few weeks" from them it has turned into a few months.
[Nexus One General] Frankenstooge:
Titanium does that pretty quickly and automatically. Next excuse, please!
[Nexus One General] athornz:
I don't think that is the case. The masses would only be calmed until they realise the update is not rolling out, then they would start rioting :p
[Nexus One General] lucidforest:
Lol I'm still running stock!

[Nexus One General] fyid:
i know its off-topic, but while we wait for a link, can you describe the procedure you use to backup/reinstall everything whenever you wipe/install-different-rom?

i've also hesitated to root because of the perceived difficulty of getting back to the same state.
[Nexus One General] lucidforest:
I don't see anything good enough on the horizon yet. The nexus s was lame when I tried it, and all the other phones are full of carrier bloatware! I think the nexus one will at least last me through until google releases the next nexus phone (I hope)
[Nexus One General] Trebek:
Me Three! :)
[Nexus One General] UCFJake:
I'm stock as well, and I am hoping the next nexus is HTC. I can't stand Samsung Mobile's quality (love their home electronics though). I passed on the S primarily due to Samsung and all the problems I've heard about the Galaxy S phones but also because the build quality just wasn't there. Every person I've shown the Nexus One too has been impressed with its form factor and screen (I have one of the AMOLED versions). The only thing I really dislike about the N1 is the digitizer and the low internal memory (yes I know if I rooted I could run everything off SD except widgets and core apps but it's not the same even with a class 10 SD card IMHO). I'll keep running 'checkin' but as I mentioned earlier, my IMEI or S/N must be far down the list as I'll be manually updating as soon as someone else posts the URL.
[Nexus One General] loadlu1:
in coming weeks~~so wait again.
[Nexus One General] labbbby:
With the OTA you should be able to install over and that's it.

Otherwise you need to root, I suggest not unlocking bootloader for possibly warranty reason.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

After that you need a custom recovery from which you can make 100% backup to restore exactly like before if there's something you dont like.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide

You can also use titanium backup to backup applications(suggest not bring user data, only install + config of app). What you backup here, you should be able to restore very easily on new ROM.

After that, you're good to load custom Roms as well. If you read for an hour or two, you can answer all the questions. And remember to always do a nandroid before!
[Nexus One General] cgrizz:
I'm a stock N1 user also. I like the pure google experience. i'm eagerly waiting for this update though. i know tons of people with CM7 and i've felt a little behind with the updates.
[Nexus One General] fyid:
thanks, i've rooted/updated other android (&iphone) devices, just not my n1 since i rely on it daily. above is the part i'm concerned about - i'd like to keep all my app data as well, why do you suggest not bringing the data, could it cause problems?

also, with ~100 apps, is this easy to backup & restore, or laborious? is the pro version of titanium required? thanks again.

[adding clarification: i'm asking about moving from rom to rom, not just this ota update, which i know shouldn't disturb anything on a stock n1].
[Nexus One General] benblb:
What about settings? Also, as far as I know titanium backup only fully works for root users.
[Nexus One General] netzpirat:
Yeah, an URL would make my day ;)
[Nexus One General] TheBlueOne:

Get him to instal alogcat before he starts the update and get the log posted, not 100% how it works. Hopefully someone who's done it before will let u know. Hopefully tonights the night :)
[Nexus One General] ekunamatata:
URL if you could be so kind.

I asked him for a URL but he says that he isnt runnig logcat.....
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
Doesn't that seem a little small? What size were previous otas?
[Nexus One General] dextroz:
If you are sure you got an update notification then post your status in Android Dev section and General as a new post with that in the subject asking for help if you need a developer to jump on alogcat assistance for you.

You just might be crowned the gingerbread man on xda if you play your cards right ;)
[Nexus One General] StefanSarzio:
2.2 was about the same size, IIRC.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Now why would you say such a silly thing?
[Nexus One General] blingking2:
How do i get the link after downloading it, is it possible?
[Nexus One General] inconceeeivable:
Not if you've already installed it...
[Nexus One General] slowz3r:
gotta have logcat running at time of download.

in the NS forums we just got someone to post a link
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
The version specific update for Froyo I got was also around that (40-ish).

The "all version" generic update file was ~80MB.
[Nexus One General] sirjoeyg:
We can assume that anyone that claims to have received the ota without providing a logcat or link is a troll that shouldn't be taken seriously. Even if they did get it they're useless unless they have the link.
[Nexus One General] jadephyre:
well, that's good news... for the Nexus S People.

Really doesn't do us any good, now does it ;)
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
What's the new build number? G##### ?
[Nexus One General] albundy2010:
I went back to stock 2.2 fr91 again about 20mins ago and have not got the OTAs up to 2.2.2 yet. Which is strange because every time I flashed back to this rom I got those updates immediately.

I was/am prepping the phone to get the url if it comes when I am at work and not using the thing.
[Nexus One General] netzpirat:
We don´t need the URL, just copy the update.zip :D
[Nexus One General] slowz3r:
yes still sad :( i do have an N1 too so can i be in your guys boat :)

[Nexus One General] xxtreem11:
It looks like more non-googlers on twitter are getting the update.

Don't limit your log findings to logcat (or lolcat:D) there's a few system info apps too that can read the logs and grab the URL.

[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
Seems like a valid link for Nexus S (since it updates from a G build number, i.e., already on gingerbread).

Someone in Twitter has confirmed GRI40 is the build number for N1 as well.
[Nexus One General] shanxybeast:
Anyone can confirm? At work with N1 at home
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
A first poster bringing the link. Niceee! :D
[Nexus One General] Konklone:
GRH78 must be 2.3.2 from the Nexus S.

But the other link that people are posting for the N1 (the ones with "passion" in them) look legit.

Downloading now, 43.6MB like the one guy on Twitter said.

[Nexus One General] shotta35:
That's the old gingerbread i guess which makes no sense but anyways, the 43.6MB should be the one for the Nexus One.

It has a new radio which should be why it's bigger than the other one. The radio is 25.5MB but didn't flash it ofcourse. :)

Seems it's real people, got that from the "updater-script" file and looking good there.
