How to install the leaked ota update, and more!

[adrynalyne]

Sure. There is a chance it could happen at any moment. maybe put it on your sdcard, you know, just in case you need something to do while on vacation

knowing my luck I'd brick my phone while I'm there

I installed the OTA leaked update early this morning.. and it was pretty smooth.. no glitches whatsoever. .so don't be afraid.. u can do this

 

[jayjay1122]

I'm debating doing this, is there any chance the OTA might hit before next Tuesday? I could use the 720p while on vacation...

I feel it won't hit by then (big surprise I know )

 

[greenrolaids]

this was totally easy.

a little fyi.

If you have windows 7 just rename the file to "update" without the quotes and without the .zip extension

I dont want to go into detail, 720p works great in bright light.

Non-rooted install worked great...thanks for the tutorial.

Any comment on whether this update affects the ability to root?

Please note that this can and will void your warranty and while no ill effects have been suffered, I nor this forum can be held responsible with what you decide to do with your phone. Use at your own risk!


First of all, you do need to NOT be rooted. So this means you will need to use an RUU (ROM Update utility) to revert your phone back to stock.

You can get it from here: http://tinyurl.com/22rotth

Run through the RUU. If you run into trouble with usb connection errors, or other troubles, you can try these suggestions:

------------------------
Having troubles with the RUU giving connection errors? Do this.

Go to start, and in the search/run box, type

%temp%

Delete all that you can. Make sure the RUU is not running in the background.

Now run the RUU again. Once it starts to the first screen, it has extracted the files to the temp directory. You can then copy them to a safe place. It will be a long winded numbered folder, with a similar subfolder.

Once you have copied it to a safe place, you can then copy adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and adbwinapi.dll from the latest SDK into it, overwriting the older copies. Then start the RUU by executing ARUWizard.exe. This fixed the problem for me.


Otherwise, you can also use the extracted files to create an image that HBOOT can load. Search for rom.zip in those files and rename it to PB31IMG.zip and put it on your sdcard. Turn off your phone and then hold DOWN volume and power to get into the HBOOT screen. Let it scan through the files and when it asks to run update, say yes and let it do its thing. It will reboot at least once during update.

Once you are back to stock, you can now provide the leaked update.

Link can be found here:
dinc_ota.zip
or
dinc_ota.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download


Copy this zip file to your sdcard, renaming it to update.zip.
Now power down your phone.
Hold DOWN volume and power to get to HBOOT. It will do its scanning thing. If you still have the RUU on there, say NO to updating and NO to rebooting. Once you get to the menu with fastboot, recovery, etc

Thats only because win7 is set by default to NOT show extensions so you dont change them accidentally. If someone has it set to show extentions and follows your advice they would be a little confused.

[Member138406]

Worked great. thanks

 

[mike17]

ok before I do this I know that it voids my warranty so if i decide to uninstall it later and i needed to use the warranty would I not be allowed to use the warranty because of this or would I be allowed to use the warranty sorry if its a little confusing

 

[adrynalyne]

That is between you and your morals.

You warranty cannot be unvoided, but the reality is, if you put it back to stock, its all good in the hood, and they would never know the difference anyway.

 

[mike17]

also do i lose any apps or anything on the phone at any point

 

[NightAngel79]

Well haven't been to my second home in over 24 hours and it seems like i've missed quite alot!!! ota soon???? leaked version!!!! adrynalyne? one of my omnia hero's from modaco??? Where you and bgill been hiding? Thought yall had moto droids?

Thanks.

 

[Member138406]

This has been mentioned already, some paid app wont show until the new fingerprint is in the market. Adrynalyne can probably explain a lot better

Oh sorry. Can you direct me to where its being discussed? Or just answer, since a bunch of them were paid, when they pop up again will it remember I paid for them previously?
