Hey guys,
I just downgraded my phone to 2.1 and went into system settings but my phone is telling me it is up to date. What gives? Why can't it find the OTA? I was getting pestered by it constantly before I downgraded. Is there a way that I can force my phone to go look for the update?
Try dialing *#*#checkin#*#*
Or just download the official OTA from Google, rename it to update.zip, and apply from recovery, as shown here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770091
RUU
I ultimately just ran out of patience and ran the Froyo RUU:

If you downgraded to the out of the box software version you will need to manually apply the first OTA from back in May before your phone will see the new 2.2 OTA. Check Settings>About Phone>Software Information: If the software version is listed as 1.22.605.0 then you need to install the May OTA (If you already have the May OTA installed it will list version 1.22.605.2)
See this post for how to install the May OTA Manually: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7933281#post7933281
Once that is installed you should get the OTA pop up to update to 2.2 (Took approx 3 hours for me after installing the may OTA). Or you can allways manually install the 2.2 update as well with the directions found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770091

You also need the stock recovery (not clockwork) to get it.
This worked great.
Went back to stock 2.1
Followed the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7933281#post7933281
did a *#*#checkin#*#*
waited about 20 minutes and there was the update
As the title says. I'm currently using 1.83 via SBF flash. Today I received a notification to download and install 1.83 OTA. Kinda strange.
My only thought for cause could be that I'm using gingerblur and it changes the build.prop to look as if I'm using 1.57.
Anyone else getting this?
You can use TiBU to freeze updater. there are several 2 post threads that say the exact same thing..
Must have been in threads that weren't created to address this specific issue and didn't have a title to reflect the same

This happened to me also, so today i flashed back to 1.2.6 and redid everything back to 1.8.3. I had Greyblur installed over 1.8.3 priviously and i was getting that pusshed to me so i redid everything and used the 3.1 version of gingerblur and its perfect.

neither one of these are relevant to this thread. If I had asked "How do I make it stop asking me to update?" then, yes, you would be correct. But I didn't, so you're not.
If you re-read the OP, you will notice that I am inquiring if anyone else ALREADY has 1.83, but yet is STILL being pushed update notifications for.... 1.83.
You used the 1.5 gig SBF file for 1.8.3 correct? I'm GingerBlurred 3.1 on the 1.8.3 and it's fine for me.
Typically when I SBF I go at least one update back and do the OTA update instead.
That's right. I did the full 1.87 SBF, not the little upgrade version
This is happening to me as well... BUT I flashed 4.1.5.7 then did the OTA update. After that I rooted with Gingerbreak and enabled sideloading with Gladenable. Anybody have any idea other than TiBu to fix this issue?
I had this same problem. On a whim, I decided to let it try and apply the update. It rebooted, froze. Pulled the battery, put it back in, restarted. Booted to home screen, said "update failed!" Then I went to check for updates (Settings->About Phone) and it said up to date.
I tried allowing the update. It now says "An update is currently being downloaded. You will be notified when the download is complete" When I click the "OK" box it waits awhile and then says "Failed to download update. The update package is not available at this time. No further action is required."
Now a new question... Can anyone here tell me what to freeze in TiBu to stop this "failed to download update" message??
Thanks!

Freeze 'updater'.
Okay... thanks... done... Now is there any good reason I should want to actually try to fix the problem (maybe by re-flashing?) or am I ok just masking the problem with the freeze?... or is it really even a "problem"?
Sorry if these are stupid questions. I really appreciate the help you guys give here.
Hi guys, after a 6 months period with HTC Wildfire S, i decided it was time to upgrade my device, so here i am, a newbie Nexus S user.
The first things i did with my new toy were unlocking the bootloader, gaining root permissions and installing CWM.
But i noticed that Market isn't updating, it's stuck to THIS version (i think it's 2.13)
Has this anything to do with root and cwm? Or it's just a matter of time and i'll eventually get the update?
Same thing with firmware: at the moment i'm running 2.3.3: looking for updates, and even using the *#*#checkin#*#* code, provided the same result: no FOTA available. Is this due to the root+cwm or i just need to wait?
I know this has already be discussed in the faq, but i find them quite confusing.
I mean, i know i could do a manual update, but i'd like to know whether if i'll ever receive a fota update or if i've lost this chance after root.
Q: I'm rooted with Clockwork and can't install the OTA! I updated to 2.3.1 and lost root! What gives?
most of the time, official OTAs will not install through custom recoveries because of their tendency to break root or restore things like the stock recovery. Also if you've made any modifications to the system files such as replacing the default Mms.apk(messaging) with the custom Black Mms.apk found in the Themes & Apps section, or deleted any .odex files from the system partition, it will not install. The easiest way to update to 2.3.1 is to flash a custom rom such as one of the custom ROMs or use the 2.3.1 Stock NANDROID backup found in the development section. And yes, 2.3.1 "broke root." To regain it, simply follow the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884499 (All credit goes to the original author(s) of the linked thread!). The aforementioned procedure is only needed on the Stock Nandroid Backup, not any of the custom ROMs.

Thanks in advance for the answers!
There is no update due to the root, i advice you to manually update your phone to the latest version 4.0.3 using cwm, after that root again. finally you will have rooted ics on your nexus s.
uhm, you say i won't receive updates.
FAQ says most of the time i won't receive them.
THIS thread says i will receive them.
I am confused.
from what I can make sense of, it sounds like you should be getting updates. The FAQ you posted says that if you try to install one of the official OTA updates through CWM, it will fail most of the time.
i don't know how reliable that "checkin" trick is, and it may depend on your carrier as well.
if you've already rooted your device, then i would just flash one of the custom roms, you won't want to go back to the OTA after...

Ok, finally tonight something started to move.
I received a message saying "A software update is available. Reboot the device to begin the installation" or something like that.
I rebooted and a CWM screen appeared, saying that the update could not be installed due to problems with the signature, sorry i can't remember word by word.
So... how can i know what the update was? I tried to browse the root folder in search for a .zip, but with no success. Any clue?

If you had 2.3.3 the update was probably the 2.3.6 and after that you would have received the 4.0.3 update....anyway from what I remember the version of the ota update is showed in the notification bar...isn't it?!

1. I assume it was the a step up from 2.3.3 to a max of 2.3.6 as OTA updates to 4.0.3 are currently on hold due to battery drain issue
2. your OTA install is failing because you have custom recovery (CWM) but the OTA updates require the stock recovery (3e)
if you really really want to install OTA updates, you gonna have to go back to stock recovery (do a nand restore, hope you have one) then flash the OTA updates for your device

From what I understand, you will still be able to get updates thru OTA.

the recovery "kill" the otas, not the root.
so you have costom recovery you will get the ota but you will be unable to install it, if you use jest a root and have stock recovery - you fine and will get the ota.

you right.
if you use stock recovery you will get OTAs
if its stock and merely rooted then OTA should work
For the OTA to be accepted, you'll need the stock recovery for your device. Rename it to recovery.img (if it already isn't named that) and then move it to sdcard root (/sdcard).
Now, use a terminal emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en) and open a command prompt. The command we're using has two parameters. The the "if" parameter refers to your input file, in this case, this is the recovery.img file you moved to your sdcard root to flash. This could be any recovery (TWRP, CWM, stock, etc). The "of" parameter is the output file and is the actual physical path to the recovery image your device uses. At the command prompt type this:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
If you already have the stock recovery then all you need to do is press "Accept" or "OK" or whatever the dialog asks when it pops up letting you know about the update. I'm not sure if the stock recoveries are different for each carrier, so you'll have to find that yourself.
Edit: By the time I finished typing this I see that you already are on stock recovery, so you should be good to go
Idk mines flashed to stock and rooted

Just bought a g2 and am thinking of rooting to enable the auto hide of the on screen menu buttons. So correct me if im wrong but if all i do is root, leave the stock rom and do nothing apart from root i will still get ota updates.
But the update can remove root right? So is there any way I can keep my phone from automatically updating and losing root? I don't want to lose root... Mainly cuz i love not having software keys.

Try the above or remove/freeze whatever the apk your carrier uses for the OTA. There's a couple threads around with more info.

Another question: (don't want to start a thread for this)
If you have custom recovery (In my case TWRP) when an OTA lands, obviously I won't be able to accept it.
I'll need to flash it through TWRP correct?
If this is the case will this simply apply as OTA's do and not delete any of my data on the phone etc?
Also is there a stock recovery I can download just to make things easier??
First time I've had a phone rooted and with recoverybefore it's update cycle is over, and Google isn't really being all that helpful
How to backup stock recovery?
I just picked up the G2 two days ago and rooted pretty much immediately (via ioroot10) but other than that, I'm still running completely stock. I saw some recent posts stating that it was now possible to install TWRP or CWM on the D80010o firmware, so I decided I would go ahead and take the OTA update and then install a custom recovery. However, I have tried install the OTA several times now and every time, when the phone reboots after downloading the update, I get error "0x1117008" when the OTA tries to install, and then the phone reboots to system and I get a popup stating something to the effect of "This device is suspected of rooting. Software updates will not be available for rooted devices." Checking the software version I see that I'm still on D80010d and the 10o OTA update is still available and has to be downloaded again.
Anyone else have this issue?
And no, I have not installed a custom recovery yet.

Nice to see you here dude.. may remember me from the rocket? Anyways, i'd just skip the OTA. It's nothing life changing. I'm still stock/rooted on 10d. Waiting for bugs to get squashed on 4.4.2 before I start flashing. Rather enjoying stock for the time being. Not really sure why 10o won't take. Haven't seen anyone else mention this. The only thing that has been brought up repeatedly is bootloops in twrp after taking the 10o OTA.

I am having the same error but don't remember seeing the same pop-up, just says install failed or something like that. I'm on Verizon stock Rom rooted. I've done plenty of mods by manually pushing them through, but I have the stock recovery and no custom recovery.... So safe to say, looks like you can't update with root. Gonna start searching for unroot then re root after update is installed. Doesn't seem like there is another way to do it. Anybody know if the temp unroot via superuser apk will work?

I am still investigating. I've unrooted via Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and a little extra housekeeping, and the Rooting Status does show "unrooted" in the About Phone section. However I still get 0x1117008 when trying to install the OTA. So perhaps the "unrooted" in About Phone may be a prerequisite, but is not sufficient for a successful OTA update. Maybe either the update is doing more checks for rooting evidence than the RCT daemon, or perhaps there is some other change that is triggering the error.
Tried to take the ota cause I read that after the update you can just reroot with the io tool. When I tried to take the update it said this device is suspected of rooting or something along those lines and the update failed to download and install. Has this happened to anyone else?

I didn't have this issue. I downloaded the update, but my problem was that I had a custom recovery installed and when my chromecast rebooted my phone, it sent it into a bootloop that wouldn't get out of recovery. I found an article here to fix that, but needless to say that I won't be doing OTA's with custom recovery again.
If you take the update, your recovery will loop. There is a fix for it in the root thread by @thecubed. So, the choice is yours.

I was just rooted on the stock rom. Forgot to mention that. I did however have "survive ota" checked in superuser though, I wonder if that had anything to do with it. I haven't tried it again with that unchecked. The update just isn't important enough to me to justify messing with it, I just took it because I was out of postpone attempts. But now the message is completely gone and not nagging me anymore and everything still works fine root and all.

OTA update from Phone will fail if you are rooted. Either on custom recovery or rooted status. Don't use update from phone, but connect phone to PC and use LG Support Tool. This one doesn't care of root, it will download full 10c update 1.9GB and update your phone. I just did it this way (rooted + TWRP). No problem, no data lost.
But of course, you need to root it again and install custom recovery as well.

You can get it from LG website. Or for example in this thread.
Don't do it!
Unless you NEED the ISIS functionality, I STRONGLY urge you to postpone or even disregard D80010o altogether. I don't know what "bug fixes" their release notes talked about as I've not seen one single improvement over D80010d, yet battery drain, battery drain. Once you update you'll notice your battery going downhill and all of a sudden "Android System" takes up about 50% of your battery usage. It's happened to 2 LG G2s I've owned, battery was phenomenal before the update, after the update... like I said. You'll learn to hate "Android System". I'd either wait for 4.3 or KitKat altogether.
