Introduction:
This is the information thread for all known OTA's for Google Glass


FAQ:
  • How to find the ota?
    • If you're rooted, wait for the device to prompt you to update, then check /cache for the file
    • If you're not rooted, wait until the same time and do an adb logcat and look for a line with .zip in it
  • Why isn't the latest ota listed?
    • We can only list what we have, if the ota from Build X to Build Y isn't listed, we dont have the file for it yet.
  • How do you setup adb/fastboot
    • Please read the stickies in the general subforum, this is not a formal guide
  • Do I need to unlock the bootloader to flash the update zip?
    • Yes, if you wish to do it manually.
      If you allow android to prompt for the update, you do not need to unlock
  • Can I flash this if I have a custom rom?
    • No, you must be on a stock AND unmodified rom
  • Can I flash this if I'm rooted?
    • Only if you have not modified any files

Going to remake op into list of currently available files officially from goog, in the meanwhile "XE6" is rolling out now/soon

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rewriting OP, quoting for history

Though there is no public dump of XRR02 "XE4", XRR35 "XE5" is rolling out.
(Someone did dump and give a copy to android police to look at, but as of this post I'm not aware of anyone releasing one publicly)

If anyone that owns a glass and has time, could you do the following?
  1. Dump XRR02
  2. Find the update url for XRR35

While the former requires a device that hasnt updated, the latter should be able to be performed on any gGlass, regardless of current rom.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I cant tell you how to do the former, if it was a standard android device you would (preferably) root and dump:
  1. The kernel image
  2. Bootloader
  3. Baseband (if it was a phone/had a modem)
  4. /system

1/2/3 need root, 4 does not.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To do the latter:
  • If you have already updated
    • Root your device
    • Make a backup of build.prop
    • Open up build.prop
    • edit the following lines:
      Code:
      ro.build.date.utc=1364970747
      ro.build.fingerprint=Google/glass_1/glass-1:4.0.4/XRR02/625737:user/release-keys
  • Check for updates
  • post/send me your adb logcat


I do not have access to one (or even know anyone that does) so I cant be any more specific then that.

I've got glass and haven't updated to XE8 yet - how can I find the update URL?

It actually doesnt matter what rom you're on specifically.

You'll need to be rooted for the following steps, I would advise caution if you're not rooted and havn't rooted your glass previously.
I don't have a glass and I can't be responsible if it breaks during the rooting process.


If you're on "XE7" already:

If you did not already download the ota (which is hard to estimate since it will download automatically):
  1. run a logcat
  2. wait until it appears in the logcat

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A more reliable method:
  1. wait for the prompt to update to "XE8"
  2. check /cache, there will be a file, it should be obvious to spot

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're on XE4-6 (or want to also assist in getting the update urls for those)
  1. Make a backup of build.prop if needed
  2. open build.prop
  3. edit the following 2 lines: (the values to change them to is at the end of this post)
    • ro.build.date.utc=
    • ro.build.fingerprint=
  4. Reboot
  5. wait for prompt
  6. check /cache for filename


"XE4"
Code:
ro.build.date.utc=1364970747
ro.build.fingerprint=Google/glass_1/glass-1:4.0.4/XRR02/625737:user/release-keys

"XE5"
Code:
ro.build.date.utc=1367809146
ro.build.fingerprint=Google/glass_1/glass-1:4.0.4/XRR35/665738:user/release-keys


"XE6"
Code:
ro.build.date.utc=1370295186
ro.build.fingerprint=Google/glass_1/glass-1:4.0.4/XRR64B/696124:user/release-keys


"XE7"
Code:
ro.build.date.utc=1372372324
ro.build.fingerprint=Google/glass_1/glass-1:4.0.4/XRR88/726688:user/release-keys

XE12.1 and XE16 are rolling out now,

reminder: still looking for a volunteer with a glass to find the ota urls.

Requirements:
  1. Be on a stock rom
  2. Rooted

Edit: found the urls for XE12 -> 12.1 -> 16, but still many more missing

Mine tried to update but failed at clockwork. I managed to pull the 12.1.zip from cache but it looks like you got that already... can I go from EX12 to 16? or do i have to apply 12.1 first (which I cant seem to install)?

Since there's no direct ota available for 12 -> 16, you'll need to go through 12 -> 12.1 -> 16

Did you modify files in /system?

If you did and cant undo the changes, flashing the factory image should make it so you can ota.

Disclaimer: I do not own a glass, but the steps shouldnt be any different from a nexus device.

I did but I also tried flashing the stock images (boot, system, userdata and recovery) but couldn't figure out how to flash it with the stock recovery.

I have my Glass rooted, but I do not know what to use to flash the zip files. Also, if 12.1 isn't rooted yet, how do you install the XE16 update? Thank you.
