Read the OP carefully do not skip any steps. HoB is pretty much fool proof it should work if you follow the directions correctly. good luck!:biggrin:

Fool proof. If you screw it up it proves you're a fool ;-)

I don't know if my phone is being stupid, my computer is being stupid or if I am being stupid but I am having a problem updating to 244. I am currently on 232 and I downloaded SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_(6.6).exe, SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_COMPONENTS_(1.0).exe and SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_(244).exe. I uninstalled previous version of HoB and installed everything in the correct order.

I connected my phone to the computer with USB debugging enabled, connected as MPT and have a full charge. I started HoB from the start menu and selected :

1) Install 244

1) Transfer update to sdcard-ext

Then this is the message that comes up:

Looking for your phone...if this hangs, it's not finding your phone 
*daemon not running. starting it now* 
*daemon started successfully*

Transfer successful: MD5 hashes match.

Press any key to continue . . .

After that finishes I go into explorer and check the sdcard for the file and it is not there. Am I missing something or is the file actually not being transferred? I have tried this numerous times and each time the same thing happens. I have tried the front USB ports as well as the rear USB ports and nothing changes. I am at a loss and I hope someone can give me a hand moving to 244. I am tired of waiting for the OTA.

You picked the wrong time to upgrade 244! Samuri is away, so if you brick you may be Sol. If you are still on 232 I advise that you stop and wait to upgrade when he returns. Remember you will not be able to rsd to 905 once you are on 244. If you are already soft bricked stop and ask for help! Sorry I can't help further but I'm at work and not available for at least 5 hrs. Good luck, let us know how you are doing with your phone!

It's not on sdcard. It's on sdcard-ext like it told you. And they're correct, I'm taking the weekend off so now is not the best time to screw something up as my responses will be intermittent at best.

Yes I know it's on sdcard-ext. But in explorer it shows up as internal and sdcard, not sdcard-ext. I can see the 232 zip file along with my other zip files but it is not putting the 244 zip on the sdcard-ext.

If you look at the readout I posted it shows 0 bytes in ???????s. So to me it looks like it's not transferring anything.

As I have always said... If automation doesn't work, do it manually. I don't have time for support this weekend. Too much going on.

Wait until next week or you will have a brick!

What are you talking about, take a drink!dancedroid

The .244 zip that HoB is or is trying to transfer to his sd card. So that he can manually transfer it there, and precede to the next step.

This is what you need on your external sd card, you will flash this in recovery. Please follow ALL instructions in the OP. This is only replacing the transfer to sd-ext step. And as always, if you brick you are screwed as it updates security and there is no fxz. So i strongly caution against continuing until you find what went wrong.
