OTA question - G2 and Desire Z General

sorry for starting a new thread on this. but i tried reading all OTA threads and still confuse
so the new update is the gingerbread? i thought ginger bread is 2.3 ?
also besides wifi calling and tethering, what else is added after the update?
thank you
again, sorry for my noobness

Gingerbread hasn't been released yet. It was rumored to be release with the nexus "n" from samsung. This update included a new radio for better connection, wifi calling, wifi tethering, and a couple of bugs such as no lock screen noise.

The OTA isn't Gingerbread. It's Froyo.Sprinkles.

thank you for the replies.. its because ive been hearing about gingerbread so i thought that was the update.
thanks!

Opps...its not 2.3 yes and it brings everything stated above, but I believe it fixed the random reboot problem also...I work in a building where I get up to only 2 bars of reception if that and my G2 would constantly reboot all day but today I did not have 1 reboot...we'll see how it goes these next few days...

You could 'try' going to your phones dialpad and entering *#*#2432546#*#* and see if it offers it again, or shows up under about phone - system updates.
If not, then you may want to install it manually. There are plenty of good instructions all over this board and the web on how to do that.

What exactly does putting that in the dial pad do? My update also disappeared and when I click those numbers it says Checkin succeeded. I go to phone and system updates and it says my phone is up to date -_-
I noticed when I check under build number it says 1.19.531.1
Should I just try to do a manual update?

Yeah if the checkin doesn't work then do the manual update.
The checkin basically asks Google servers if there are any updates pending for your phone. But they set lists and if you are not on it at the time it won't offer the update.
I did the manual update and it worked just fine. Was easy and didn't take long. Just make sure not to mess with your phone while it is updating. Some people see the green update screen and pull battery after a few mins.

[Q]

hello everyone,
i just got a droid X a few days ago but have yet to activate it. i am currently using a BB storm2 which i'm hoping to ditch in favor of the DX. i wanted to play around with froyo prior to making the switch but the "system update" option is grayed out under settings.
Does anyone know any other way to upgrade my phone to the official froyo release? is there a zip file that i can download to update my phone?
thanks for your time!
The 2.2 update is being pushed out as we speak. Try going to settings, about phone, check for updates. That's how I got it this morning.

The option will stay grayed out until you update. There is an update in the dev section for the official ota though

Do you mean it will stay greyed out until he activates the phone? If so, that's not entirely true. I re-activated my Incredible this morning while I was doing all the sbf fun trying to get the update to load(can't be without a phone if I'm on call), and after the sbf on a fresh un-activated phone, I was able to upgrade to official 2.2 over wi-fi.
The option un-greyed after I signed into GMail, and downloaded some things from the market (whether or not that is relevant, or coincidental I don't know) but you can never have too much information. so you can definately upgrade an unactivated phone.

I have been signed in since i bypassed the activation screen and i have downloaded apps from the market and it's still grayed out....
ok i managed to get it working. after spending countless hours of googling, i found a solution. in order to get the button "un-grayed", i had to enable airplane mode and then while airplane mode was on I went ahead and enabled wifi. i'm currently downloading 2.2!!! thanks guys!
That makes sense, I did have airplane mode turned on so I wouldn't have to turn off the phone to re-activate my other phone.

Kies acting really weard this morning. Bell Canada

Hay all. So, I got up this morning and like I do every morning and plugged my phone into my PC to see if there is any upgrades available yet. Usually everything goes smooth without a hitch. This morning, when I tried, Kies connects to phone no problem, but yet when i check for firmware upgrades, the firmware upgrade window pops up, and is completely blank for 5 or 10 seconds (sometimes more, sometimes its instantaneous ) then a messages comes up saying 'no response from server, check your internet connection and try again". I kept trying and trying, and then FINALLY after an hour or so, it said "this devices version cannot be updated." WTF?!?!
I am running the latest version of Kies 10103.100 and usually it just says there is no updates available at this time or whatever it says..
Any ideas?? Maybe Froyo is being uploaded?!?! Anybody else suddenly have the same problem?
I'm in Canada, and completely 100% stock. JH2 2.1
EDIT: okay, I just tried again, and now I'm back to the Latest version already installed on this device... Crap.. I was hoping it was a good sign that Froyo was on it's way like someone said in another thread that claimed he worked for Bell and the update would be rolled out on the 15TH. Suppose, the day isn't over yet..
yeah i just got the cannot connect to server message as well earlier. I was hoping they are taking down the server so they can roll out the 2.2 but i guess i was wrong. lol oh well, still hoping it'll come later today.

The phone had to be rooted for it to work, and my phone is not rooted. I chose not to until I'm completely satisfied with the unit as I have had it replaced 3 times now due to defects... Thanks for your input tho. After 30 days goes by and all is still working good, and I'm more familiar with the Android OS, I'll be playing...

Root is only needed to auto-discover the codes, if not rooted the presets can be used. Just pm me the desired codes and I will add it to the presets.

EDIT: Nevermind.. I got it.. Soon as you type in a couple characters the list pops up.. Just trying to figure out what goes in the second line now.
my PC is GT-I9000HKABMC

I got the automatic system update notification for ics!

it downloaded the file, verified it, said it was going to reboot in 10, 9, 8, 7.. then said your system is up to date!?
Only thing I can think of is it aborted due to battery level?
B
exactly the same! What to do? dont want to wait for days again!
I've assumed it's battery and am charging now.. anyone else know what's going on?
The same issue with me...Don't have a clue what to do..
i9023? mines not rooted or anything "custom"
Me too! I just received the OTA notification, made a backup and clicked update.
Downloaded the 128mb file, file check was ok, pushed "restart and install" and instead it said that system is updated. Any help?
No root, stock 2.3.6, i9023
same here, my phone was on charge btw..
Anyone found a resolution for this yet? Received another OTA download?
Mine was on about 45% when I got OTA, plugged it in to my comp USB port before download started but still disappeared on countdown as well
not received another notification, how rubbish eh! maybe they somehow "pulled it" before it could damage something? dunno. I'm sure someone clued up might add something helpful.
This bug is so annoying, it was soo close!! Still haven't found anything about it on here or other sites, and still no new OTA message
Same here,
Just got the update OTA...finished downloading and began counting down for the restart. At 8 secs remaining it switched to saying "your system is currently up to date". I tried restarting with no luck!
WTF!!
I hope it comes back!
I have still recieved nothing! How long would it take? I have a normal nexus s, unbranded unrooted and all that stuff...

If you received an update notification a little while ago but the update isn't currently available for your phone, this is likely the result of Google pausing the update in your area while we monitor feedback. The Android 4.0 update is continuing to roll out around the world so your phone will receive another update notification when it's available again in your region.
5 of 10 people found this answer helpful. Did you? YesNo Report abuse
That doesn't really address, RECEIVING, downloading, verifying and "ok'ing" the update, only for nothing to happen. V odd.
Same here..
Why don't, all of you, flash it manually? It's exact same as receiving the update ota.
I'm a new user so I can't attach link but if you go to the Google Mobile Help Forum you can see a thread, started by a user called Fozan, reporting the same issue.
Maybe it's better if you all report the problem there as well so Google can understand that we are a lot!

T-Mobile system update --> D85110r

Does anyone know what this update includes? Thanks!
Still nobody?

Not helpful, but I still haven't gotten the update. Even connected my phone to the LG PC Suite hoping to get it. Apparently TMobile just likes you more
It adds one new feature of...
- T-Mobile Free Inflight Texting support
Has the following fixes/enhancements....
- Bluetooth connectivity improvements
- Wi-Fi connectivity improvements
- UI improvements for T-Mobile Free Inflight Texting suport
You are lucky you got the update. I been trying for it all day. I even tried to manually update it with the LG Update Tool and it still says my software is up to date, but it is D85110m. I really want D85110r because I am taking a flight Thursday morning and really want to try it out.

You can usually force the update notification by clearing data and force stopping google services framework. Youll probably have to do it a few times or more but it has always worked in the past. Im skipping this update as it also blocks purple drake root.
Updating a rooted phone?
So I rooted my phone the day I got it. And I really want to try this update because of all the wifi issues I have been having.
Will I need to unroot my phone to do any updates? If not, then will updating unroot my phone? If it won't then awesome, I will find a way to apply it since the update isn't available in the update tool yet (but it is from http://lg-firmware-rom.com).
Thanks!
Stay away from D85110R... Patched the vulnerability for stump root app...

You might have to do it A LOT.. May even have to reboot too. On my G2 it took forever to get it to work. After you clear data in gs framework are you going back to update center and making it recheck update?? You need to.. There should be a date ending in 1969 as the last update check after clearing data

It never shows that date just the most recent time. I've tried that a lot... 30 minutes of doing the clear cache/data then force stop then clear the cache/data in the update center as well. along with reboots. I may try doing a factory reset.
I am not sure if it matters but I have net10 for service and also the phone is encrypted.

I know this is a n00b question but, I haven't messed with radios since way back on my HTC TP.
I'm currently running Bliss KK.
Can I flash the radio by itself?

Will I see any improvements in signal, speed, or anything else?

Yes, the radio can be flashed by itself in recovery, All 3 the biggest improvement I've seen is signal strength. With the last couple radio's I was seeing a lot of random signal drops service would cut out then cut back in for a split second this happened several times a day.

Because of this thread went looking to see if there was any updates for my G3, of curse the phone said Up to Date, connected it to my PC and loaded the LG PC Suite, and had it search for an update and kept getting this message:
Cannot proceed upgrade
Mobile device software upgrade is blocked on no upgrade policy
Completely stock and unrooted G3, latest version of PC Suite, kid if a weird error

I read something on this. It was either a comment to a post about this update or in an article, but it had something to do with the LG/Tmobile and the update not being available on it. My software update tool gives that I am up to date..

Since this update, I get no cell reception. It's fine when it first boots, then 4g flashes on and nearly instantly it drops to disconnected.
I've tried safe mode, thinking it was that. Nope.
Uninstalled digits. Nope.
Signed in via multi-line settings. Nope.
Watch (Zte ZW10) connected or not makes no difference.
Anyone else? Any ideas short of hard reset?
If it was a simpler process and wasn't risking tripping anything then yeah its good to try but lets not forget this version was never meant to be in the hands of consumers. Be wise stay official till the official OTA comes out! And since were on a new baseband whats to say you can even force the update now?

But, is this update rootable?
Anyone else's dialer app not working. Keeps force closing will try to factory reset
I was able to get my reception back by clearing the cache partition (!!) and disabling wifi calling (the latter may not have been relevant, in fact -- I can enable it now, though).
Nooooo I updated to this version. Can I still root?
Looks like you can't. I tried it and you get stuck in a bootloop.
