Installing the OTA 2.1 file

[Papadroid]

Ok, so I think I may be on to something here. I think the v3 leak may have the PRL hard coded into the system and therefore potentially the cause of the 50% issue?

With the leak v3 - it seems everyone has the same PRL - 51866

My PRL prior to installing the leak was 51892 - not sure why it's different now

arothrock is now at 51893


If PRL is supposed to be location based, then v3 leakers around the country should have different PRLs...
I'm in NY
xxfrozen, where are you?
arothrock, where are you?

I don't beleive this to be true, because I manually installed a different PRL and still get the 50% problem. The issue as I understand from Framework over at XDA is that there is a bug defaulting to look for GSM towers instead of CDMA towers.

By the way, walk me though exactly were i place the update file from the time i click open to view files on my pc

You'll need to mount your eris to your computer, mine came up as drive F:\

Just put the update.zip file in the root of your Eris' SD card drive.

So it would be like \\sdcard\update.zip or f:\update.zip

Make sure you have "hide file extensions for known file types" unchecked in your windows settings. Because if you can't see your file extensions, you might be calling it: update.zip.zip and i'm not sure if that would work.

Brooklyn NY
I recently downgraded from 2.1 root to 1.5 and restored original recovery as well
51893 PRL

by the way i have hboot 1.47

nothing happens after exclamation point - could my recovery be bad?

 

[arothrock]

When I hold power and up it does nothing.. im stock 1.5..

Is this after you choose recovery and reboot into recovery mode? Try hitting it a couple times.

 

[Tooleman694]

In the instructions he says hold power and up..

yes its after the reboot..

 

[mdeblaz]

Should I start a new thread about the PRL versions? Asking people to state their location, leak vs. OTA, and PRL Version...

So far,
v3
mdeblaz, NYC, 51866
xxfrozen, Pittsburgh, 51866
zutmin, Maine, 51866
Caddyman, Delaware, 51866 (if I remember correctly)

OTA
arothrock, PSU, 51893

 

[Tooleman694]

trying again..

 

[Caddyman]

yes, everyones prl is different.

you can manually load prl's, but when you for a *228 option 2 it will be overwritten

+1

V3 here in Utah and 51866... My wife is stock 1.5 and on 51892

For a bit when I did the v3 install, I was on 51892 and had no 50% issue, then I did a PRL update and it went back to 51866 with the 50% issue.... strange business

 

[hallstevenson]

Reason it's failing on the v3 leak is that the patch/update command verifies that the files are already up-to-date and nothing needs to be done.

PRL means very little also. The PRL can be updated at anytime. If you do a *228, option 1 or 2, you are likely to get a current (newer) PRL than what's in the download file.

 

[Tooleman694]

Still nothing after the power up after going into recovery..

 

[refthemc]

California here. PRL 51776

 

[jlrosell]

Im still on 1.5, so dont know if this heps you or not, but Im in Bloomsburg PA, and my PRL is 51638

 

[mdeblaz]

yes, everyones prl is different.

you can manually load prl's, but when you for a *228 option 2 it will be overwritten

Yes, they should be different. My theory (or should I say hunch) though is that everyone who is on v3 and has done the *228 option 2, is now on the same PRL, which is 51866, regardless of location

Not sure why, and not sure if this is causing any problems or not.

I have the 1.47 HBOOT. Unfortunately I can't get it to go past the ! triangle screen using the Power Button + Volume Up combo. Hmmm....

If this were true how come I get the exact error message on V2 leak?

 

[timmywa]

As an aside here, how come the programmers can't separate the phone aspect from the rest of the OS, meaning, you should be able to apply a new PRL and just reset the phone part, not the whole device. I'm guessing this would already be the case if it were possible... Just sayin'

 

[hereitis]

Everyone that is trying this (and failing)....your phone is fine when you reboot right?

 

[dawynkoop]

yes, mine has been anyway, havent successfully installed the update though.

 

[Tooleman694]

yes phone is fine..

what im trying to figure out is what my sd card is called what i have to click on to get tithe root of it as well? btw also have hboot 1.47 on stock 1.5
