A firmware update is available...

Hey everyone!
It's 5:47am on this Tuesday, November 9th, and I have a firmware update notification in the status bar.
What should I do?
Devs?
: )

Are you running a custom Rom or stock? If stock, what is your current software and firmware version.

I'm running a custom rom, SlideMeRoot, with the first Mytouch Slide update applied.
Or SlideMeRoot is a version of the stock rom?
Then:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software number: 1.27.531.1

Images attached.

They are trying to give you the OTA. Don't take it if you like your root.

I know that's why I've posted here.
: )

There hasn't been a text message sent out about any other updates. This is them trying to ruin your root access.

I also haven't heard about any privilege revocation updates in that case.

The OTA broke root for so many people it isn't funny.

Slidemeroot uses is older than ota, they are sending you the rom that cr modded(1.3.x). Upgrade to cr for new radio and it will go away.
Edit: read rest of your post,it may be a small hotfix, probably not 2.2 .Maybe 2.1.1

Sounds like you've got the OTA many of us have had for quite some time. Take a look at my signature; if your build resembles my current ROM it's an older OTA. Post some screen shots as you did earlier so we can see the change since you've updated. Thanks.

I've also had that update for quite some time.
So before anyone else suggests that very update again in this thread, bear that in mind.

Well what are you waiting for? Go ahead and transfer it from the phone and post it

Bear in mind the OTA update was more than just a radio upgrade ... which from your initial post appears to be the extent of the OTA you have had for quite some time. Interested to see the updated screen shots though ...

Dude (and everyone else who reads this thread), please -- I'm asking for guidance here.
So if you want me to do something, articulate what that is.
I will transfer the update from my phone and post it here, just tell me HOW.
Anything else you need: also articulate what that is and how.

It was more than a radio upgrade; it was also a fix for other slide conundrums.
So you want me to apply this OTA update and post screen shots?
Because that would be unwise for a rooted phone...

Gingerbread seems to be here

Some users are claiming that they are receiving Gingerbread 2.3 OTA updates. Too bad, I can't get it since I am on a Custom ROM and will have to wait for it little longer.
http://www.google.com/#q=gingerbrea...&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CE0Q5QUwAw&fp=1&cad=b

Sorry, seems like false alarm.
http://twitter.com/ryenyc

When I see the actual proof, then I'll believe it.
Also, the guy posted a tweet after saying it was a false alarm... the guy was probably hiding under a rock for the FRG83d update, and that's what he got.

lmfao, why do people tweet "OMG< GINGERBREAD!!!1" when the update hasn't even downloaded yet. Some people are just a bit special.

Think about it... no SDK, no OTA.

The SDK came out a few weeks after the OTA for one of the previous Android updates.

I've just had a notification of a 2 part update. Install of part 1 failed because verification failed.
Currently running FRG83, 2.2.1.

Just got the same notice. I'm rooted so i didn't bother trying to install it.

got the notification for system update - totally stock
I'm going to wait till later to let it happen
But I will eagerly read others who wish to jump in first!

I just got it too. System now says I have 2.2.1, FRG83D, but I can't remember what the previous FRG was. Sounds like a minor update? I'm trying to figure out what changes occurred.

Does anyone actually read the forums?
lol...
FRG83 was the thing you were running, FRG83D is the new version which updates a few things such as the market app and the recovery and email (not gmail) app and maybe other minor things...It's probably a preparation for Gingerbread

Any word if this breaks the non-unlocking of the bootloader root that worked for 2.2.1?

And the android dev team got a lot of heat from android developers for doing so. Doubt they want a repeat of that.

Smells of NDA.

Gingerbread isn't developed by just google. A large portion of the OHA are developing it together.

FRG83D OTA Update Files

Hi All,
[ This OP has been edited based on receiving clarification from forum members...]
I just received a System Update on my rooted Nexus. The System Update says that it is part 1 of 2. I quote from my phone:
Android Update (Part 1 of 2)
Downloaded and verified 380kb
-----------------------------------
This is the first of a two-part System Update
This first part is required to prepare your device
to receive new Android system software.
Your device will restart, and your settings and
data will be preserved.
Soon thereafter, you will receive a second
update containing the new Android system
software itself.
I isolated the following files from /cache and verified their checksums every step of attaching them here:
d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip (380.60KB)
(MD5 b0669d79f3ace07fdd3e1c03d88d2c68)
downloadfile.apk (1.76MB)
(MD5 1dbbb71e77a70494549e8ea9be5b631e)
downloadfile-1.apk (1.76MB)
(MD5 566a4566d4f6321f8d7f37a957ef1698)

That would be FRG83D

And off to the races!

false alarm

As millions of people spam *#*#CHECKIN#*#* and overload the OTA servers....

I am amazed at how small they were able to make it......just over 2mb.

I call False Alarm.
What the hell, 1.76mb??? That's no Gingerbread, more like Bread Crumbs. Left over crumbs called FRG83D.

Ummm, I thought I mentioned I was using a Nexus One. I doubt Motorola is pushing me an update. Good head's up, though!

BTW, my build is listed as FRF91 so am assuming that nothing in the FRF83 series would register as an update. Am I wrong here?

FRG is later than FRF, dude. G comes after F in the alphabet right?

Yes, you are wrong. FRG83* is newer than FRF91.
Nothing to see here, people. Move along.

I also thought I showed that this was part 1 of a 2-part update (and the update msg was pretty clear about this). I'm not saying that I'm running GB on my phone nor am I planning on applying either Part 1 of this update or what might be a much larger Part 2 containing the actual GB update.
I'm just trying to help my posting these files but I really think many of you need to take a few more minutes to read before posting. I'm not trying to say I'm cool or anything...I'm just trying to help here!

[Q] another update past 3.2?

so i start using my xoom today, which is the wifi version, rooted on 3.2, and the box pops up and tells me there is another system update. this struck me as odd, because i never saw anything about another system update on xda or xoomforums or anywhere els. could this be an error? or is there really another update? and if there is an update, what are the new features?
thanks

Did you accept and install the update? If so, check your OS build number. The current version is HTJ85B.

If you are rooted on HC3.2, I'm not sure why you would get notification of the update, but that's the latest, and likely to be the last of the Honeycomb version.

I hope there's a 3.2.1 version to be honest - 1 because it's a cool number sequence! lol - and 2 because I want them to push the support non-us keyboard layouts to devices (which moto said would put in their 3.1 update), including support for dorvak layout

we already had 2.3.4

I had the same thing fist time I booted to 3.2. I suspect it's just the ota 3.2 which was already downloaded to your Xoom and it's got a bit confused because it's not installed that download. Anyway, I rejected the update and it's not popped back up since.

Hehe, would be good if it was but nah, it's just the ota update that I'd been putting off and had been downloaded prior to me flashing a 3.2 ROM.

I'm thinking those of us on beta 7.1.1 may have to roll back to 7.0 to catch OTA but not sure. Good question.. I'm gonna roll back and try and force update, no luck for me thus far on beta 711.. I'll report back later..

Great news tnx a lot for this info

I got the stock 7.1.1 OTA yesterday it's running good.
Hit the check now button to check manually, even if it already did automatically you can find the update manually.

Do anyone know if stock nexus builds support f2fs, and if, for which partitions? (I've done some mild google'ing on the topic with no definite answers).

I'm on the beta still no OTA update even when checking it manually

I checked mine about 100 times manually then downloaded full ota and flashed it using FlashFire app yesterday.

Any word on the Bluetooth issue from DP1+DP2 going away?

I had the beta 7.1, and had not received the official OTA.
my wife also has a 5X, but on 7.0, she got the notification the day after I read that they were rolling it out "in the next few weeks"
so I updated hers, then un-enrolled my device and as soon as I restarted mine I got the notification for 7.1.1
So far life is good with it, nothing major
the 2 things I am most peeved about is no Daydream VR and still have the Google search bar front and center (figuratively)

I enrolled my Nexus 5X in the beta program and when I try to side load the official 7.1.1 release it gives me an error: "Can't install this package over newer build. Installation aborted". Is there any significant change taking about stability and battery from the DP2 and the official release? Thanks!

Got the update to stock 7.0 few days ago. This is the fastest I have ever received any android update.
Did not even check manually for updates as I was not expecting this to be available or few weeks!
