Hi, I tried updating through USB drive, but after I'm asked to confirm if I want to update to new version and select yes to update I get an "update data error". I tried also with previous version from the gtvhacker update downloads page but I get the same error.

My unit was rooted and then unrooted and I'm currently in version Sony Eagle 2012.01.26.

How can I complete the manual update? Is there's a way to re-enable the over the air update?

Thanks.

Those instructions describe exactly what I've been doing. The unit recognizes the usb, it starts the update, then it goes to the "updating" screen and then I get Update Error. I get the same error with the May file. It seems I'm stuck in 20120126.

I have had the same problem with this update. I keep getting the "update data error"???

I was rooted, but manually updated with the may update so my system build is 2012052001.

I still have the GTV hacker bootscreen and the system update is disabled.

What are my options for going back to stock???

Is the Uart root my only chance for repairing the system?

Please help!!!

Hey all -- I rooted my NSZ-GT1 on the "2012.01.26 GTV 3.2 OTA" -- But now when I try to do the new update with the Play Movies app -- it always fails. I've tried several time. Today I factory reset my box and tried it again -- still fails. So I grabbed the APK for the new Play Movies and side loaded it -- and it still says I'm not on the current version so it won't work....anyone have a work around? THANKS!!

Can this latest firmware be rooted?

I followed the steps back in February (http://wiki.gtvhacker.com/index.php/Run ... n_Sony_GTV) and I'm fairly happy with the system as-is. Google Play has some funky issues with updating installed apps and I think this 20120917 firmware must include some bug fixes and performance improvements.

Also, this forum seems like it is dead. Anyone here?

My box is already upgraded to 20120917 f/w via OTA. Would I be able to reflash this firmware here in this post then follow the downgrade procedure to aquire root and bring it back to this file 20120917?

Or no exploit yet in OTA 20120917 firmware?

Thank You,
