2.1 OTA link!

[arothrock]

I whole heartedly discourage anybody from going to that site and downloading anything from it because my browser displays a (low level) warning.

It is better to be patient and wait for a change in that warning, over the long haul, than to poke around sites like that; been there, done that.

Ok man. Your call.

My browser however doesn't display a "low level" warning, it says the security certificate is for *.google.com or just google.com.

The * is a wildcard. If it was just https://clients.google.com/blah/blah/blah
it wouldn't give you a warning...
but since there are two "subdomains", it does give you a warning.

If it said the security certificate is for *.*.google.com, then there would be no warning.

I scanned the .zip with MS Security Essentials and it was clean. I extracted the .zip and scanned all 1983 files in it, and they were all clean as well.

Thus my strictness on it.

Tongue twister?

I didnt get a cert error, they are using a wildcard..

I just tried to install like the leak, no luck for me.

You're all paranoid. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with this file and it's the 2.1 OTA. Now we all have to work towards figuring out how to install it. There is a link to install it in this thread I realize, but it doesn't seem to work. If anyone gets it to work, please post what you did and make your text bold and red so we can all see it with the words "HOW TO INSTALL THIS UPDATE" or something like that.

download complete be back soon.

 

[hallstevenson]

Safe site, security certs, blah, blah... Turns out you can't "install" the OTA file manually anyway (at this point), so it's all a moot point.

From Wikipedia:
"... the goddess Eris (Greek Ἔρι&#962, a personification of strife and discord."

Aptly named, I suppose, given that it's a bit like what folks are going through to get this update.

 

[jreed2560]

When we downloaded the MRs didn't we have to load the RUU?

 

[NickDroid86]

Went to hold volume down and power, said nothing about an update... Just asked how I wanted to boot. Mired file from download folder to main area.. Trying again

 

[morganpants]

considering this is a patched update and not a "FULL INSTALL" i'm sure there is going to have to be a file in the Eris that is going to have to be activated for it to execute the install process.

 

[truelove79]

Someone needs to post this over at xda and let those dudes have a crack at this thing so we can actually use it.

 

[NickDroid86]

File is useless.. Why is it named after 1.5 anyways?

 

[xxfrozen]

What if the 2.1 v3 leak and this patch were merged into one file?

anyone brave enough to combine the 2 lol

 

[Caddyman]

cant you just copy everything from this zip and paste it into the v3 leak package with overwrite?

hmmm


an yea, the site is definetly fine, it is a google site, trust me

 

[icomeanon]

Well, the thread began about a half-hour ago.

Give it time?

and this is why i shouldnt post early in the morning...my bad, didnt look at the time it was initially put up at all.

I'm pretty sure if you try to change anything in the V3 package, it will fail the signature check.

I have the full text file for the OTA. Is it useful in figuring out how to manually update the phone?

 

[vertig0730]

I just tried a ADB push, of course the cache folder is protected.

 

[Scynthetic78]

Apps have write access to the cache folder, right? Would it be possible to set up an app to dump the OTA file to cache and run it that way?

 

[AwesomeIT]

The URL is a sub domain of Google.com. There nothing to worry about with that site, unless you don't trust Google.

seems logical

 

[mandirae16]

So if this can't be downloaded, can the whole log be used by the devs to work on root?

 

[arothrock]

I think I got it installed. Give me a couple minutes to try things out and write up a tutorial if it worked.

 

[Scynthetic78]

seems logical

The thing I'm not sure about is the file size. I don't know if there's a way to adjust settings to allow something that big to be sent to/stored in cache.
