Hello all,
Wondering if someone could try this since I already upgraded won't work but when i got the update on my phone I was able to go to the cache folder and extract from fumo file the following zip that is on mediafire.
Called OTApkg.zip like the mt3g update file.
Should be the current update.
Anyone on the original firmware should be able to flash this from recovery and be up and running with new firmware
Let us know if it worked.
Just rename update.zip and put to root of memory card
boot with vol down and power.
down and select recover
vol up and power to get options
select update from update.zip and should run.

You didn't get a chance to test this at all? Can anyone test this and tell me if it works. Before even thinking about rooting I always like to have a set of file to recover with. G1, original mytouch, and slide i all have had way to undo before I rooted.

Didn't work for me. When I tried it I got an error that said
Code:
-- Invalid operation --

On a side note, when I reboot into recovery I get this
Code:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Anyone else? Is this correct?

Reviewing the code does look like the right file but may not be able to be flashed manually.
First line in update script is mount ( "MTD" , "system" , "/system" )
Looks like boots is a special "fota" mode that will allow modification and this update run like that won't initialize it.

I tried to flash it also. I also got the same "Invalid Operation."

I pushed it to /cache/ as OTApkg.zip and ran *#*#CHECKIN#*#* and still nothing at all.

Great. I have no idea what I'm going to do. Ever since I wrote my downgrade tutorial to downgrade from the OTA to Stock, I figured I would have gotten the OTA notifications again, but nope. Never received anything and it seems I can't use this.

This is a problem.

Very big problem! By chance, when you boot into recovery, do you see the same line as I have above?

Yes, I also saw the same thing when I booted into recovery on my G2(before I returned it), so that line is not a problem.

Yep, but we still have a problem with not being able to update to the OTA and perm-root.
