Re: HTC Vivid - AT&T Over-the-Air Update (Oct. 2012)?

flixoman · ‎10-11-2012

FWIW - booted into recovery and cleared my cache.

Still

Get with it, AT&T

flixoman · ‎10-11-2012

Thankfully, I was able to clear things through recovery - and its been a week after the last time it forced the update on me. I am fully expecting to go through the same thing next Thursday.

Thanks for checking though - I just wonder why updates like this are FORCED down our throats.

subserved · ‎10-10-2012

Next Thursday? Is there another update coming?

flixoman · ‎10-11-2012

sub - not sure when the next one is coming, that would be Jam's. But given that the last one was a week ago and my system just tried doing it again...maybe the HTC says "i guess i will try once a week"? I dont know.

maybe Jam can enlighten us?

I love that you use kitty icons.

3.26.502.56_R23 is the only update I'm aware of at this time.

I like the Kitty icons

But - back to the update - could it be because I have an unlocked bootloader?

subserved · ‎10-10-2012

Thank you. Just thought I better be on the lookout if there was.

The weird thing is when I got this update last week, it downloaded and installed ok (or so I thought), but when I check the version, I still have 3.26.502.56 710RD. I just checked to see if there is an update, and got a message saying my software is up to date. Don't know what is going on.

Yeah, that is entirely possible. The updates are always designed for out of the box equipment so any modifications to software can have an impact.

The software version for mine also shows 3.26.502.56 710RD, but I select the more button which includes the kernel version, baseband version, build number and browser version. The build number matches the update 3.26.502.56_R23 along with CL302737 release-keys.

flixoman · ‎10-11-2012

All the more reason to wonder why updates would be forced down and not entirely optional.

I run android because I am a tinkerer. I guess that means that I have to probably re-lock my bootloader, upgrade, re-unlock and then reinstall and configure all of my apps...

Or I will just have to move to a different ICS Vivid build or custom one up

rcalderaro1 · ‎03-13-2012

Thank you very much subserved. It looks like the update worked on my phone.

flanagannc · ‎10-25-2012

I got this update just now, it told me that something was wrong and the update won't apply, now Wi-Fi will not turn on, sitting in the "Turning Wi-Fi on" state! I don't see any one else mentioning this.

FightingNavyman · ‎10-25-2012

to all the devs.: what is it that's taking you so long to update to jellybean? why is it so hard when most other phones already have jellybean.. even my inspire4g has 4.1.2 LATEST and its smooth as butter.. why not just do the same to the VIVID not minor updates like this.. just give us Jellybean PLEASE!

To the devs of the vivid email me if you want with an answer as soon as posible

My Vivid seems to be stuck on the white HTC screen after reboot....

lil help?

flixoman · ‎10-11-2012

Jamileh - I thought I would be crafty and re-lock my bootloader and just use stock AT&T ICS - so I would not have to mess with new kernels.

Applied the update...and boy was my evening ruined.

Phone shutdown to apply update

Phone stops at bootloader saying there is a security issue

Reboot bootloader

Reboot phone

"Android upgrading apps" (taking forever)

Phone up...for about 20 seconds

Rinse and repeat.

I had to stop the phone in recovery and reapply the HTC software and re-image my phone from the ground up.

And now I am being prompted to update...again...I might try again tonight...else I am going to have to freeze the updating program.

C4PTA1NTR1PS · ‎05-24-2010

I have the same issue, ATT replaced one phone when it bricked. after the second one did the same i found tools to fix it, but it still bricks every time it tries to update... here is a link to disable ota updates till this is resolved.

C4PTA1NTR1PS · ‎05-24-2010

C4PTA1NTR1PS · ‎05-24-2010

Used titanium backup to freeze the update app, seems to have worked
