Upgrading the ADP1 from the default 1.0 firmware to the official 1.1 firmware

I was planning on using my OpenSolaris box to do my Android development, but currently I don't have the time to try to port the SDK.  I didn't want to allocate permanent memory to a linux xVM, so instead of using Xen, I decided to use VirtualBox to run Linux to work on the Android development...  VirtualBox can not be run on a system booted into HVM mode, so that meant running Linux in VirtualBox on Windows instead.  Since my x64 machine has a habit of crashing whenever I plug in USB devices anymore, I decided to do it on my laptop.

Unfortunately, after getting the SDK and Eclipse (yuck) and the JDK installed - I couldn't get adb to work inside the VirtualBox version of Ubuntu.  I gave up on that for now and decided to update the phone via Windows.

I extracted the SDK and then put the fastboot binary (available here) into the tools subdirectory.
When you plug the device in, it will prompt you for drivers. They are in the usb_drivers/x86 subdirectory.

Here's the dos prompt portion of the instructions above... how to boot, fastboot, etc is covered in that doc.

C:\devel\Android>adb devices
HT846GZ39410 device

C:\devel\Android>adb push 1.1\ota-radio-1_22_14_11.zip /sdcard/update.zip
1155 KB/s (0 bytes in 9131603.007s)

C:\devel\Android>fastboot update 1.1\signed-dream_devphone-img-130444.zip
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.sig'
< waiting for device >

Unfortunately, it never gets past that point. Trying to run 'adb devices' or 'fastboot devices' both show no devices.  Booting into the phone normally, adb works again.

The solution, unfortunately, is to replace the drivers again...




1. Boot device into fastboot, connect to PC
2. Navigate to Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device
Manager > Universal Serial Bus Controllers
  a. Observe that there is a USB Mass Storage Device there
3. Right-click USB Mass Storage Device and select Uninstall
3b. unplug it and plug it back in
4. Windows then prompts with with New Hardware Found Wizard. Pointed
this to the USB driver included in the SDK

C:\devel\Android>fastboot devices

Go into the Market app and install “Latitude Enabler for Root”.  Reboot.
