Root JB 4.1.2 OTA Update Instructions!!!! Fat Lady Sings

[TehJibba]

SuperR i have the files you need and am uploading as we speak. Will take me a while to uplaod tho so someone else may beat me to it

 

[junkie2100]

thank you blargh420, and superr is working on testing right now, also we have the files in /system already all we really need now is the partitions 1 2 8 9 and 11 if im not mistaken, 12 is the boot.img which he already has as well and hes making sure his zip works as we speak, i just wanna know if those other partitions are like firmware updates or something that will help the phone run smoother, so i want to test them but they shouldnt be necessary for an initial release

delete

 

[Mgiddeon]

yeah if you can tackle that- that would be great. my phone is being ridiculous

 

[junkie2100]

and to everyone who got the ota to work, please keep backups of it somewhere for us, we are having a couple minor issues like a screen flicker and wiper fcing on boot so we may need some alternative files

 

[TehJibba]

75% done will post link in this post if theres no personal info in them

I know you're fixing the CWM shizz rn, but I'm having a really hard time understanding how to fix my phone... I need to get either my phone to have CWM or to unroot it completely. Help.

 

[junkie2100]

rooting has nothing to do with being able to install the official update... and you can put cwm back on there the same way you put it on there the first time

 

[TehJibba]

files all the requested files in 7zip format

 

[junkie2100]

oh and on the personal info note i dont think theres any personal info in there, anything personal should be stored in either the radio or the data partition

 

[TehJibba]

i didnt think there would be but no harm in checking btw even after the update im still having same issues as in my other thread go figure lol. anyways hopes this helps you guys along

 

[SuperR]

ok, got a flashable b11 rom built, flashed it and it works-ish. Is anyone that got the update running having problems with any of the following:

wiper app force closing
Qualcomm Location Services crashing
Screen flickering

Trying to debug this thing before releasing. I appreciate your comments.

I dont understand why screen is flickering and stuff. I downloaded pg's ota.zip file and installed it through cwm. Everything works fine on my end. I just needed to use moneys stock backup rom as my b09 base because its odexed. Any deodexed rom wont work.

 

[TehJibba]

I had wiper app fc on me a couple times and the qualcom location services fc on me if there wasnt a network it could connect with (like when i tried to make a flashable in kitchen and got no uim issue) not noticed any screen flicker yet tho

 

[TehJibba]

Anyone else notice if the play store is broke or not? Ive tried several times to download a few diff things and it never starts the download. IDK if its because i have pdanet running or not tho

 

[SuperR]

play store is working in this b11 rom, but the screen flicker is annoying. gonna try some things

still no ota for me. tried installing the one provided but no matter whether i do a complete whipe before or after it always just loops the boot logo and thats it.

 

[bhays3]

so far so good still?

 

[D34DBre4kr]

Robertech you tease!

[junkie2100]

that original ota zip if released with the asserts gone can cause serious harm
it doesnt have whole files and if it tries to patch the wrong files it will corrupt them. so watch what you do. could i force the ota to install over cm, yes, would it do anything other than break my rom? no

 

[APOPHiS420]

so then what should we do?

 

[Frank The Tank]

so then what should we do?

Everyone needs to call ZTE and complain. Lol. Hopefully all at the same time.
