TCL OTA Check ============= This is a Python script originally created by [thurask](https://gist.github.com/thurask) ([original GIST](https://gist.github.com/thurask/f4ace564e6575ef41c4e35d2458ca2d0)) to check for update files for a BlackBerry KEYone phone. It tries to emulate the requests done by the "Updater" app or the "Mobile Q Loader" firmware updater. What is a FOTA/OTA? ------------------- (F)OTA = (Firmware) Over-the-Air OTAs are differential(!) updates for a specific firmware version to a newer one. To install it, you **must** have the correct initial firmware installed. Otherwise, the updater script will fail and abort the update. How to find available OTA updates --------------------------------- After downloading or cloning the repository, make all tclcheck*.py scripts executable if needed. Let's assume you have a UK BBB100-2, so your PRD would be `PRD-63117-003` and as of September 2017, your firmware version would be `AAM481`. Just run the following script: ./tclcheck_allota.py AAM481 You'll get an output like this: ``` List of latest OTA firmware from AAM481 by PRD: ... PRD-63117-003 failed. (No update available.) PRD-63117-011: AAM481 ⇨ AAN358 d819919187b46793abeaeff60dd6deee17baac4b (QWERTZ BBB100-2 (Germany)) PRD-63117-015: AAM481 ⇨ AAN358 d819919187b46793abeaeff60dd6deee17baac4b (BBB100-2 (NL, Belgium)) PRD-63117-019: AAM481 ⇨ AAN358 d819919187b46793abeaeff60dd6deee17baac4b (BBB100-2) PRD-63117-023: AAM481 ⇨ AAN358 d819919187b46793abeaeff60dd6deee17baac4b (AZERTY BBB100-2 (Belgium)) PRD-63117-025 failed.

(No data for requested CUREF/FV combination.) ... ``` As you can see, our `PRD-63117-003` variant doesn't have the update yet, but other variants have. You can use this info, to [install the update for a different variant](http://wiki.mbirth.de/know-how/hardware/blackberry-keyone/bb-keyone-ota-updates-for-different-variants.html). Just make sure to use a variant that has the same model number (`63117` = BBB100-2). What do those other scripts do? ------------------------------- (All commands support the `--help` parameter to print out the expected syntax.) ### tclcheck_allfull.py Checks for the latest FULL (i.e. complete firmwares to install manually) versions available for all different models and variants. ### tclcheck_allota.py Checks for the latest OTA (i.e. partial updates for over-the-air installation) versions available for all different models and variants. ### tclcheck_findprd.py Scans for not yet known variants of a model. ### tclcheck_findprd2.py Scans for not yet known models. ### tclcheck_findver.py Scans for not yet known firmware versions. ### tclcheck_gapfill.py Queries the [database server](https://tclota.birth-online.de/) for known versions and tries to find OTA files not yet in the database. ### tclcheck.py Universal tool to query TCL's servers in different ways to manually check for a specific update. ### tclchksum.py Queries the checksum for a specific FULL file. ### upload_logs.py Uploads all collected server answers to the [database server](https://tclota.birth-online.de/).
