TCL OTA Check

This is a Python script originally created by thurask (original GIST) 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, edit the tclcheck_all.py and change the fc.fv variable to your current firmware version. 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. So change the line with fc.fv to:

fc.fv = "AAM481"

Also change the fc.mode line to:

fc.mode = fc.MODE_OTA

Now run the script. You'll get an output like this:

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. Just make sure to use a variant that has the same model number (63117 = BBB100-2).
