B180 Update Arrived

[Paisley Pirate]

ATT sent B180 down...

And of course, overnight, my phone tried to update - and is now stuck in a boot loop with TWRP.

Yay.

Hope everyone else is having a better day.

Rename
"/system/priv-app/DMClient/DMClient.apk"
by appending ".xxx" to the end using TWRP file manager.
Clear /cache partition.
Reboot and see if it works .

For those wondering about updating to B180.....
See this post and links in it for how we updated before if the phone was already unlocked bootloader/rooted (and for stock phones that can't OTA due to non-AT&T SIM) :

reloaded 170 full version on and it worked fine. Need to clean it up, as it threw the bloat back on - but didn't lose anything. Unfortunately, between 2 jobs, and moving (working on new house now, move in a couple weeks, then work on old house to sell it) I'm not seeing much time in my future to play with it much.

Is B180 rootable?

I imagine like the other version so far, it should be.

Is B180 rootable?

I have B170 installed. But I have it debloated, rooted, and custom recovery on it. I want to update to B180. Anyway someone can make it a standalone update? Like B170?

[divineBliss]

Did you previously have B170, then used your zip to update to B180?

Question: If I unlocked the bootloader and Rooted at B140 but went back to fully stock b150 and than Flashed b160 Stock can I OTA b170 and b180 or do I need to flash? I want to keep this stock since I can't use a few apps rooted.

 

[divineBliss]

I believe you will need to flash updates as nobody has been able to OTA after unlocking the bootloader.

I was able to update to b140 from b130 from a unlocked bootloader but that was from before I rooted.... It was before root was available.

 

[divineBliss]

Thanks for that detail. I wonder which partitions aside from the boot partition get modified after rooting that then breaks OTA from working.

I don't think there's any way to put your phone back to the state where an OTA will work - at least nothing we currently have on the XDA forums here that I've seen.

You could always try what you wrote below - I expect OTA will fail. If it fails, you could flash B180 - which I believe is unrooted from what I recall @clsA writing about his method to flash B180 in the B170/B180 thread by @madvane20 - but please double check on that before doing it since you want to be able to remain unrooted.

hi thanks for this advice buy my device does not have this directory or files. I am in the same boat on 170 slim and fast, got AT&T update and now in force reboot update and fail loop. i really want to find a way to make it stop force rebooting? surely something i can do in twrp terminal. any advice? but alas I might just have to reflash.

make sure u mount system in twrp that folder and file should be there and make sure to clear cache like the other post said
