Does 1.2.1 work on the new. 340 ota?

[ScottyDsntKnow]

Just wondering. I am going to wait to upgrade if not. I hate everything about the stock rom.

Also, is the new apex thread gone because of the new ota or something? I don't see it...

Droid forums app has a tab for stickies, you ll have to go to that tab to see the apex thread and themes thread

SHouldn't be too long of a wait. He tweeted earlier: @Bigxie Wooow, got work in 5 hours. OK, as long as this build doesn't blow up on me tomorrow at work, I'm pretty sure it's 95% done. about 6 hours ago via TweetDeck

Guys, remember that the .340 SBF is system only, that means it doesn't update your kernel or anything.

So if you did the .340 SBF, you'd get moved up to .340, and then if you installed 1.2.1 again, you'd just be right back at .320

If I'm already on the leak is there any reason to go to .340?

 

[ScottyDsntKnow]

There will be when the new roms are released and are .340 only.

Do we have a way to upgrade from 320 to 340? I looked for an answer but have not had any luck

What Fab and Scotty are saying is this:

The difference between .320 and .340 are in the /system only. ApeX 1.2.1 takes the /system from .320 and makes changes to it to give us the wonderful system we have. If we flash .340 we lose ApeX because the /system is overwritten with all the new Moto stuff. If we THEN install ApeX 1.2.1, we again overwrite /system which removes all the Moto and updates and we're back to .320-based /system

Fab is working on ApeX 1.3 which will be ApeX on top of .340.

That's what we should be waiting for.

Thanks for the reply bro....so if I understand correctly even tho I'm on 320 I could go to the new apex when its out.....i just won't have some of the new bloatware like madden but it will update to 340?

Exactly! We'll have .340 because Fab will have built ApeX from the .340 stock /system folder.

We already have the kernel and bootloader from the OTA because that's what came with the .320 leak.

(Of course, this is assuming that nothing changed with those two items between versions, but that seems to be the case)

Perfect.....thank you!

A lot of people are saying nothing changed btw .32 and .34. But people should realize that something as small as a different version number within the bootloader/kernel will cause enough compatibility issues to brick. The bootloader for .34 MIGHT have different numbers simply as a result of being compiled later. If that's the case:

Can you system only sbf from .32 to .34? Yes. Can you full sbf from .15 to .34? Yes. But what happens when someone on .32 tries to full sbf to .15 or .34? Could very well be a brick. Basically, right now .32 users may be permanently limited to system only sbf's until the bootloader is cracked. So what does this mean as far as operation? Nada, except that youll never be able to OTA, and if a future ota changes the kernel for performance gain, youll still be stuck on the old one. P3 said he has a way back to .15 for .32 users, but I haven't seen it, and he said that a while ago. Id think he d have released it by now, anyone know if he has?

By the way, has anyone heard of someone on .32 trying to ota to .34? That of course is the true test. If they succeed, you can disregard the above post and you have nothing to worry about.

The 25MB OTA file is meant to do only one thing, get someone from a stock 2.3.15 to 2.3.340.

There is no difference in kernel or bootloader between .320 and .340. You can switch between them as much as you like.
