LG Ally Update Coming January 17th?

[netizenmt]

So, today is January 17th. Is everyone drooling with anticipation at today's update?.... yeah, me neither.

ALoha is the code name for the flavor of eclair we use if im not mistaken

Eclair is the version of Android that Ally uses (2.1). Aloha is another name for the Ally. I think they use it on other carriers.

anyone gotten the update yet?

Aloha? I am confused. Isn't Aloha another name for the Amon-RA Recovery version we are using?

All Android devices have a board name. In the LG Ally's case, its board name is Aloha. In the Motorola Droid's case, its board name is Sholes. Board names play a big part in source building and the development of Android devices.

System still believes it is "currently up to date"
checkin result: success

no updates as of yet.

Sounds like the after-effects of a typical MR update. Every one of them since the very first has somehow messed up something on my Ally that I had to fix. After the first one I had to do a hard reset and start completely over to get the Ally working again.

There is a GSM equivalient called the LG Aloha. Ally is the CDMA version.

LG Aloha to come to Verizon as LG Ally

But they got the processor completely wrong in that article

Nothing yet, but these things usually take a week or so to roll out to everyone. I'm not going to apply it until I'm sure it will work with z4root. I Hope everyone else keeps us posted.

Could you just imagine if the Ally had the 1GHz Snapdragon in it? That would be awesome. But even better is the LG Tegra 2, which I would love to get my hands on! That thing looks like it will be amazing!!!

I'm planning on taking the update. I've already got stock setup (and I'm actually pretty happy with it's performance) and I have z4, and clockwork waiting in the wings.

I'll definitely let everyone know if root works or not, and I'm content with the phone as is if it doesn't. I suppose i could always do it the hard way if I really needed to.

I've been periodically running *#*#checkin#*#* and so far it just keeps telling me "success". It hasn't picked up a DL yet. But, like i said before, I'll keep everyone posted.

LGVS740 is listed there. Mobile update tool says im up to date. Maybe its not pushed yet. (Thanks to the poster in all things root section for pointing it out. )

I'm fairly certain the update that is being reflected on the LG page, is the last, that is the ZVC update. It's been there for a few weeks at least. I have been on there site more than a few times, and i remember seeing that before.

As i said in the other thread in the All Things Root section, its just the ZVC update. Ran a packet capture and i got this: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGVS740/AVRZBK/VS740ZVC_08/VS740ZVC_08.SC_08.P58006.cab

So now its possible to restore back to ZVC instead of all the way back to V6 (Finally!)

So does that mean that there is no OTA coming today?

p.s. you get your ally fixed?

 

[death2all110]

thats from lg mobile updater. ota's use google servers

in the process of fixing it now

i fixed a2sd so ill release a small build out for that. no other changes yet. hard to do with a messed up phone lol

For some reason when I dial *#*#2432546#*#*
today, I get a recording saying the number cannot be connected as dialed. It worked fine when I was doing the back to stock thing the other day. Anyone know why this might be? Would having root access and a custom Velocity ROM somehow keep the number from even connecting?

 

[dvdrttr]

I have a stock Ally still with VZB. No auto OTA but *#*#2432546#*#* does start a 13.3MB download. The download completes and seems to install. When the phone reboots, scroll bar below android gets about 25% then the triangle above android flashes an exclamation point a half second before the phone reboots to verizon startup. No change to any info under the phone info screen - no VZC.

I've doing it all day. Every time it says success.

Thats what I was trying to say lol - well put lol


Seems our hope for an update yesterday was false

Death explore this link and see if you can figure out the naming of a new update as a suffix to the above url.

[bnitty]

It may be only out to 1st tier right now. Ive never gotten an update early so someone has to have it on here.

So it seems Froyo VS740VZD WILL be the next update as VS740ZVC is what we have now.
