The first part of this is easy, the next steps about copying to my sd card sound intimidating.
root@android:/ # [COLOR="Red"][B]ls -ald /sdcard[/B][/COLOR]
should show something like this:
[COLOR="Blue"]lrwxrwxrwx root root 2013-11-01 08:17 sdcard -> /storage/emulated/legacy[/COLOR]
root@android:/ # [COLOR="Red"][B]ls -ald /sdcard/last_*.txt[/B][/COLOR]
# [COLOR="red"][B]cat /cache/recovery/last_log > /sdcard/last_log.txt[/B][/COLOR]
# [COLOR="red"][B]cat /cache/recovery/last_install > /sdcard/last_install.txt[/B][/COLOR]
Id guess Alien is just sleeping bro (do scary aliens sleep?) Or feeding. He wont abandon you anyway.
Ant WHAT a genius of a guy eh :total respect:
I am with AT&T if that is what you mean by "Carrier."
While most of that stuff is French to me--no pun intended --can't rex pop in a AT&T sim and be fine?
Perhaps he has done that already and I missed that part.
If I'm totally whacked out with my thought here, just be-bop on past my post
# [COLOR="Red"][B]ls -al /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name[/B][/COLOR]
Hey Rex,
Just a few quick thoughts I wanted to get down:
1. I'm guessing your device might have originally been in Canada (which might explain the French language thing).
2. I see that this thread over on AC: ICS update, baseband I9300XXLH1
(which our own funkylogik has even contributed to ) discusses an ICS (4.0.4) update to the radio (baseband) that this device model received back in October of last year (which matches what the image you provided in your first post).
3. See if you can check for a System Update on your device--but don't try to install it! We want the update.zip to download so we can look for any other things that might have been modified so we can figure-out the plan to get the update installed.
Thanks!
Scary Smart Alien,
Sorry for my absense, I work nights and off a couple days.
If I check for a system update, it begins the download automatically, it doesn't give me a chance to proceed or not. I looked at that thread you directed me to, a 25 meg radio update; the update that begins for my device is 744 meg.
Maybe I should leave well enough alone?
$ su
# cd /cache/fota
# ls -al *.zip
do you see a large .zip file of the size you expect? if so, check it again to see if it's growing or has finished downloading:
# ls -al *.zip
if/when done downloading, then let's copy the file to your SD card:
# cat *.zip > /sdcard/rex-ota.zip
note: if there are more than one .zip file that shows up in the above "ls -al *.zip" output, then you should probably explicitly specify the exact filename to copy (I'm using "big-ota-file.zip" as an example below and your filename will obviously be different):
# cat big-ota-file.zip > /sdcard/rex-ota.zip
