updating 926

[Guest b4da55]

can i ask how people went from b926 as ive tried middle package and force update and they dont work

the reason i ask is there is a few different roms out now and i would like to try them but i have wifi issues and i suspect it might be this. infusion works but anything on 940 doesn't

thanks

Middle package is only for changing baseband.

Once you're on ics you can change via cwm. Or, if you're on stock, via dload.

tried dload and they always fail and cwm is still just giving me wifi error.

unless anyone has used cwm yo flash b940 without any issues surroundind wifi and they were on b926

I only used middle package to update from GB to ICS b926. After that I flashed Infusion via CWM, and yesterday I flashed b940 via CWM also. All is working perfect, including wifi. I did a full wipe and formated system before the update.

same idea, update does the same thing changing boot loader etc. If you read the messages about the update failing, it has OEM sbl version fail.

I think that stands for OEM Standard boot loader or similar.

It makes sense that it won't flash. Example.

Uk release B885. We find an Asian

leak called B892.

The Uk then releases B895. The update script won't be looking for B895 as it wasn't a uk release or its not on the list as it was a leak so was never meant to be on phones in the wild.

As the bootloader is part of the firmware, it only

gets reflashed during an UPDATA update.

The UPDATA file contains a list, in which every

bootloader version that can be upgraded is

noticed.

If the bootloader version matches one of the

list, the update will be installed, and it will

overwrite your bootloader.

Thus the version of your bootloader gets

changed.

If you now want to install another (older)

update, it does the whole procedure again.

But what happens if the update you're trying to

install is older than the installed update?

Well, the list of upgradeable bootloader versions

can't contain the new newer bootloader

versions that's installed on your device, as this

version did not exist when the older update was

released!

So what will happen?

The bootloader version won't match and the

update will fail with

"OEM_SBL_VERSION_UNMATCHED" (in the

update log file in the /dload folder).

Glad to hear, those were the instructions I read on the Infusion thread. I guess sometimes it works to update without a full wipe, but if you want to be sure that there will be no issues it's better to do a full wipe.
