[APP][DEV] OTA Update Center. (Released version 2.0.5)
- Thread starter M3nti0n
- Start date
Trying to register and constantly getting (from chrome,IE,firefox)
"Whoops, Something went wrong"
"Whoops, Something went wrong"
The flash issue is device specific, on the website you'll find more under faq.
I'll look into it.
I think it actually resovled itself... sorta. I did finally get to register except that it still did show the site error. On both the register and first login attempt. After that I had no problems.
I am getting, 'unable to get download status' error while trying to download OTA.
Just throwing in my .02
You will need hotlinking support from your host. Something to look at first before modifying anything else.
Thanks but one question about user counter
First of all thanks for great work and service.
I now host files using hot link, suitable for pushing updates via ota.
But one doubt,
I made users available an update via ota, I got user counter 15, ok.
Then I updated my rom and wanted to push it via ota (for the same device).
So i tried to add a new file, but failed due to same device .
So i modified the existing one, and success. I tested and ota notifications are coming as it should.
My question here is, the 15 users who got update previously, will get new update. Considering all of them updates, will the user counter tick to 30 or will it stay 15?

Dropbox did not work now and users got 403 forbidden errors and google drive doesn't create the direct links for 25MB file so suggest me any fast and direct link capable file hosting website ? Thank you
You can share Dropbox files using hot link.
Select the file and click share.
A share link will be generated.
It will look like - www.dropbox.com/blabla..
Just replace www.dropbox.com by dl.dropboxusercontent.com
And put the final download link, i.e
dl.dropboxusercontent.com/blabla...
In otaupdatecenter site in ur rom page, and u r done.
It works fr me.
To verify, try opening your otaupdatecenter rom page in incognito mode and download.
If download succeeds, you are done.
Subscribed. I'm the official maintainer of PAC ROM 5.0 for the nvidia shield tablet. My Google drive folder is already showing signs of taking up too much space at this rate so something like this would be a lifesaver once it comes time to release publicly. I would if I could but it would get removed. PAC is a project much greater than myself and the real work is done by people who started well before me. So I can't decide when their project is finished with its alpha testing, even if it runs fine on my device... It'd be disrespectful because they ask all maintainers not to publicly test their current builds.
Anyways.... I freaking can't wait to use this app. Seriously. I even made a new folder for it in my subscriptions

It will stay 15
Thank you so much mate
You obviously updated the app itself, without adding the ROM.OTA.prop instead of the build.prop options.
The OTA.prop has the recovery and path values.
The ROM.OTA.prop has the ROM values.
The KERNEL.OTA.prop has all the kernel updates values.
In the old version you needed the values inside the build.prop
I hope this helps you to fix your current problem.
How can I use this updater?
Code:
Download the latest APK from our GitHub page.
Pick a ROM/Kernel OTA ID that you will use on this site. This should be alpha-numeric (dashes and underscores allowed). This should be unique across our site (multiple files for separate devices can use the same OTA ID).
Add the following files to your ROM or Kernel:
/system/app/OTA-Updater.apk: OTA Updater APK you downloaded
/system/rom.ota.prop: ROM or Kernel version file
/system/ota.prop (optional): General properties file
/system/features/com.otaudater.feature.xml: OTA Updater feature file (get it here)
Package your ROM, generate an MD5 of the zip file, and upload it somewhere.
Add your ROM or Kernel on this site. You will need the OTA ID you picked, the device you packaged for, and the URL and MD5 of the zip file. When you have updates, simply update your ROM/Kernel here.
For further updates, just make sure you update the otatime and otaver properties in rom/kernel.ota.prop file
Optional settings for /system/ota.prop file:
{
"noflash": "<< true or false - prevents app from rebooting into recovery for flashing (user must flash manually) >>",
"rebootcmd": "<< reboot command if different than `reboot recovery` (can be a script included with ROM/Kernel) >>",
"system_sdpath": "<< path to external storage in OS if it's non-standard >>",
"recovery_sdpath": "<< path to external storage in recovery if it's non-standard >>"
}
Format for /system/rom.ota.prop file:
{
"otaid": "<< ROM OTA ID >>",
"otaver": "<< ROM Version >>",
"otatime": "<< Date/time of ROM in yyyymmdd-hhmm format >>"
}
Format for /system/kernel.ota.prop file:
{
"otaid": "<< Kernel OTA ID >>",
"otaver": "<< Kernel Version >>",
"otatime": "<< Date/time of Kernel in yyyymmdd-hhmm format >>",
"fullver": "<< Output of `cat /proc/version` (*) >>"
}
* - this is necessary to detect if a ROM update overwrote your Kernel.

Yeah, you need to push an xml permission file to system/etc.
Copy pasting didn't work for me, so what I did is downloaded the 2MB source from their git, and aquired the xml from it.

Hello,
Thank you for this application, it's been years since I use it for my roms customs, but on my new phone I have a problem...
With OTA Updater if I check Wipe Cache, the zip is not installed ! must uncheck "Wipe cache", how to solve this problem?
Thank you.

Is anyone aware of anything i can do to stop the automatic reboot while in recovery just after the rom has flashed? My rom requires a second Aroma addon zip to be flashed straight after the base rom, having it reboot straight after the zip flash is causing problems.
