NEW ICS leak .238
- Thread starter landon418
- Start date
I do my best. The HoB is pretty much done afaic. It's dynamic enough now so that people can make their own updates. They can update the FXZ. Hell, even other moto phones could use it if they wanted to. Took a long time to get it to this point, but, it's arrived.
Wow...

How to add support for a new update (advanced user option):
o) Create a new ### folder where ### is the minor version of the update (e.g. 238)
o) Copy the Blur_Version*.zip to the ### folder
o) Add ### to the end of the Blur_Version*.zip....(e.g. Blur_Version.5.9.905.XT875.Verizon.en.US(67238).zip)
o) Connect your phone to USB, enable USB debugging, and set to Charge Only or MTP mode
o) Run the AddUpdate.bat. It should find your new update and generate a boot.img file for it
o) Once AddUpdate is finished, the update will be available on the HoB menu
That's it. That's all you gotta do.
I have gone back to 235 from 238. Here's why. My phone lagged horribly on 238. Plus other issues I noticed. VZ Navigator keeps reporting a error. I don't use it but it was getting annoying plus I use location on Smartactions and when clicking on search, it would say unfortunately ilsvzw.apk has stopped and it worked on 235. I tried pulling the ilsvzw.apk file from 235 and tried using it in 238, no dice, so I doubt 238 will be OTA, it will fail the soak test, even more so, when there is a non working 239 floating around.
Idk, man...I started out with the .232 leak, and ran it for close to 2 wks when I couldn't take .235 being hung in front of my face like a big, fat steak in front of a starving dog!! lol. After about a week I went on to the .238 leak, and have .

I don't understand why people insist on blaming the update first when they have issues. It'd be one thing if everyone was having those problems. But I'm certainly not. I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say when you ran into these issues you didn't try a factory reset? You very likely went from one ICS build to 238 without wiping data. That's fine when it works. When it doesn't and you get issues, why blame the update first without factory resetting to see if maybe it was corrupt data instead? Just a thought. The idea that 238 can't be the ota cause you're having trouble with it after doing a non sanctioned upgrade procedure is, well.....

I haven't needed to factory reset yet but I'm *VERY* careful in my process on how I do upgrades. One misstep could theoretically corrupt the data and cause the kinds of issues people seem to have. Your process is safer still. But I don't understand when people run into an issue why the first thing they do isn't to factory reset and see if that clears it up. Worse case is you lose some time and it doesn't fix anything.
It's not even that someone may have screwed something up. The updates WERE NOT DESIGNED to go from one to the next. They're designed to update 905. WE made it work so that we can go from ICS to ICS without data loss using a process that isn't even CLOSE to what the update was designed to do. That process alone is enough to cause problems. So, you do the update and run into issues. Factory reset it and start over. Not difficult. Just time consuming. And yes, requires effort. Boo hoo. LOL
LOLWhat bothers me is that some of these people take SamuriHL's work for granted; taking no consideration of how many hours he has invested. Then when things go wrong "It has to be the software's fault". Be a responsible person and use your brain every once in a while. Figure it out and maybe you will learn something and pass it on......
