I'm on tmobile, and i still havnt received the update.. When will it come out for me? I am using a unlocked one ..
I checked -- About > System Update > and it immediately goes to no update available
-- Non rooted stock phone
Your question has been answered in a couple other threads already. Google is releasing the update in rolling batches. You'll probably have it by the end of the week. Be patient.
Install it manually if you're in such need (not trying to sound harsh), but yes, I think you should just use the standard manual update method. You'll get what you want, without having to wait.

This is the first smart phone I have ever had the enjoyment of using. I intend to root the phone so that I can get rid of the junk I don't want and enable the features that should be included on my phone.
My question, what do I have to do to not be forced into an OTA update? When I go to the Update menu setting I see no option to ignore updates. Also, is there a setting to not get notified of the updates? Like I had a required OTA voicemail update that I am unsure of how to ignore. Thanks
As far as i know the voicemail update should be fine. From wgat ive read its just to have voicemail to text. Jyst dont check for updates. If they come up automatically it usually asjs if you wan it

You cannot ignore the voicemail update. It adds text-to-speech and is mandatory for all Sprint handsets with VVM. There is a way to shut off the updates under settings/about phone I believe, I haven't gotten mine turned on yet, just got it minutes ago, I'll edit with more specifics if you need.

You will be prompted to do an OTA and if you are a custom rom you will not even get the prompt. However, if you end up wanting the OTA you will have to revert to complete stock. Any removed stock apps can potentially screw up the update process. Generally though its just fine to wait until the devs cook up something with the update and then just use their releases. If it is a necessary update someone will release it in the form of a flashable zip and you won't need to worry about updating OTA =)
Turning off OTA's
way back when before I rooted my hero I had to go through the hassle of reverting to a previous android version in order to root because i naively accepted the OTA update. Trying to avoid this on my shift.
I went into "settings" -> "system updates" -> "HTC software updates" and unchecked the box for "Scheduled Check".
Is this enough to turn off my OTA updates or would the update come from Sprint and have nothing to do with HTC updates?
Is there a limit to the number of times Sprint will push an OTA update to a specific phone?
I'm not receiving the MDL update anymore, and manually checking says I'm up-to-date, but I'm not being at MDC. I received it the first time and installed it, but as we all know, it broke root access and closed the motochopper exploit. So I reflashed the stock ROM and wiped everything, got the update again but ignored it. Well, I reset my phone again, and now that I actually want to install the update, Sprint doesn't seem to want to push it to my phone anymore.
Edit #1: Saw this thread: New Update is here! Here is how to force pull an OTA update. But I am still curious why Sprint isn't sending it to me automatically if anyone knows.
Edit #2: Woke up this morning and the update had been downloaded. *shrug*
Hi guys,
I'm wondering why the Android 5 update is not showing up anymore on my Nexus 4? It was available a few days ago but I wanted to do a nandroid backup before proceeding so I chose "Later" (or something like that) to the update proposal. And now I can't find that update anymore! I went to Settings and System updates but it says my device is up-to-date...
Does anybody have an explanation to this?
Thank you.

if you want to update just do it manually or use wug toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...olkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-8-2-t2015469
i updated with wug and all is good.
P.S. if you update manually or with wug read the entire procedure first
thanks for your reply. I know how to do it manually, but I was wondering WHY the update was not available anymore after I chose "Later"...

maybe later has a timer like 3 days or one week???
I believe the OTA has been pulled from Google's servers because of an SMS bug.

Mine also disappeared for almost a week. Just got it back this morning though Waiting till tonight to apply it - if i get a bug, i'll have time to resolve it...
same thing happening here ota not showing up anymore
I got a lollipop OTA update on my phone about 3 weeks ago and wanted to wait till the factory image was on the developer site because whenever I try to install over the air updates I get Andy lying on his back dead with a red exclamation stuck in his belly. Then I heard about the bug so I wanted to wait for the 5.0.1 update factory image to be available as a image and now that it is, I went to try the OTA first before trying to flash or side load anything and poof not there. On top of that when using the nexus tool kit I can't get an adb connection. I'm having no luck here.
There have been 4 OTA updates, not including the Nougat update, since I last received one. The last update I received was in July (baseband version G930AUCU2APG1.) It isn't rooted but it's encrypted. It says everything is up to date when I check for updates on the phone. AT&T tried to push an update last night and they told me they were unable to contact my phone. I tried wiping it and checking for updates but that didn't work either. Is there a way to manually install these updates?

Download the Odin pk1 files and flash with odin. After that you should be able to take the nougat update. I'm not sure if you have to decrypt your phone though or not to Odin
Hey all,
I am very much willing to wipe my phone to do a downgrade.
I have the OP8 Pro, unrooted (never rooted/never unlocked bootloader).
The scenario I see is - I downgrade my phone to 10.15.13 (I have the INAA modell). I'm sure at some point the phone will check for an OTA.
My question - Is it all possible for the phone to upgrade itself if it restarts?
Meaning, is there a time limit that the update is sitting in the queue waiting for the user to press reboot to install? Or can I just somehow figure out a way to silence the system notification of an update pending?
Not sure if that makes sense but my hope is to just go back to 10 and enjoy certain things that just worked out better for me unrooted vs 11 unrooted until some things are ironed out.
Thanks for your time.
No you would need to initialise the upgrade, unless you have automatic updates on.
You would have seen the initial installation begin.
Least that's my experience of it. The update is stored on the phone so you may also be able to delete it.
Turn off automatically download updates.
I downgraded using the special firmware I found (couldn't find official to do it ) and then installed the official EU/UK firmware straight after with no problem

Nice - noted. I think I can start my search as well. Looking to do this tonight.
