I have a factory unlocked n1 that ive only owned for about 3 months.
I noticed its still on FRG83 (not the latest FRF91).
Will I have to do anything special to get the 2.3 update? (Im in the UK if that makes a difference).
FRG83D is the latest, not FRF91.

Thanks, it came up with 'check in succeeded', but nothing else (this was 5 mins ago).
I take it that it doesnt matter that the nexus one wasnt ever offered on my network (o2 uk), and the phone actually polls google servers?
It doesn't matter at all, just have to wait patiently, or force it (as above).

Can't you just update using the link provided above?
Im in the uk, running FRG83D and expecting the 2.3 update today. (also on o2)
Could it be my simcard? It works with 3g but its quite old still...
Also do I need to register my IMEI or anything?
Rest of the phone says this.

You've got a weird kernel there? And the Korean baseband... my guess is your phone has had the KT FRF91 passimg flashed at some point, which would explain your lack of update.
That is very weird!
Are there any instructions on how to flash the kernel and baseband back to UK defaults?
Also what is the KT FRF91 passimg about, is it anything dodgy / something I should be concerned about?
Edit: I sent my phone to HTC last week and it's come back with a different IMEI...i guess that explains the korean part.
It's not really dodgy, or anything to worry about, it was an easy way for European N1 owners to update to Froyo without unlocking the bootloader back in the day. It does mean you'll lag behind with updates though.
I don't think you'll be able to get back to the proper Google firmware without rooting/unlocking your bootloader due to the 0.35 HBOOT (you can check if you have this or not by turning the phone off, holding in the tackball and powering on, the second line will say either HBOOT-0.33.0012 or HBOOT-0.35.0017).
Ive got the Hboot 0.35.0017 on FRG83D, i got the FRG83 -> FRG83D OTA update when everyone else did. I dont think this is his problem
It's not a problem as such, but it will prevent downgrading to get onto the Google version.
Ok its says HBOOT 35.0017.
If i root the bootloader, can I then flash my way back to 'Default' kernels / radios?
Yes, easily, you might not even have to wipe it in fact.
You use fastboot to flash the system.img and boot.img from the FRG33 image on shipped-roms.
Ok thats great, thanks for all your help.
Just to re-cap, install android sdk / fastbook on my pc, then flash boot.img then system.img from FRG33?
Exactly, although I lied, you will have to wipe.
I forgot that unlocking automatically wipes the phone.

OTA updates work without an sdcard installed. They get downloaded directly to the flash on the phone. I don't remember where, but if you search it shouldn't be too hard to find. Cyanogen has mentioned it.
Once someone with a rooted phone without a custom ROM should be able to snag a copy before it's installed. Or maybe even discover the URL of the update in the phone's log...

You said harder as though it took more then 5 minutes to begin with. Unless it has a new SPL to overwrite the current one, then no, it will not be any "harder."

If you flash UK generic rom as he did, the phone will look for a UK update and not the one for canada. So you will be able to update OTA.

You have a locked bootloader I'm assuming?
Not exactly sure why this is happening for you but this is exactly what would happen with my phone before I flashed to the uk generic firmware. I was thinking it had something to do with some removed SE software (was rooted). I would probably try starting fresh and flashing the Xperia_Play_Release_Generic_UK.ftf with flashtool, root with gingerbreak and then try ota update again. As soon as I did this OTA update went through without a problem. I'm just guessing that maybe you're running a carrier specific firmware vs the generic UK. I've flashed my phone multiple times with that firmware and flashtool and never had a problem (until I do something stupid and have to reflash ). Updates are not region specific but carrier/firmware(which is provided by your carrier so same thing ...) specific. This isn't your problem of course, just saying rogers firmware will only poll rogers for ota updates, the same with other providers firmware. You might want to take a look at this post though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14726176&postcount=41 hope it helps
thanks for responding...
thinking about it, I may have caused it. After doing the generic Uk flash. The last message said on the flash tool said to. enable debugging and reconnect.
I then pressed the root button, but it did not work. Stupid as this was for the x10 I think. Guessing maybe this changed something that causes the ota to fail.
I will just have to start from scratch.
thanks agin for your expert advice.

I have already flash 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-20-release-keys-signed-Telstra-AU.sbf , do I still need this OTA update? or they are the same?
Can anyone tell me that can I flash ANY rom (eg: at&t , ME860 etc ) or only bell and telstra ROM only after a unlocked boot loader + CWM? I m not sure cos I just got my telstra MB860 yesterday.
Telsra has nothing to do with rolling out the OTA. It's now Motorola that is responsible for updating. Check the Motorola website and they still haven't got the ATRIX listed for ant updates yet. Try your phones settings update and there isn't anything else either.

I flashed the gingerbread sbf that was posted here a few days ago. It's less than impressive. I was considering rolling back to 2.2 but decided to give CM7 beta a crack and so far so good. The phone is like a rocketship now!
Is the bootloader open?
Thanks
I have the new Telstra update installed and would be willing to help find out. If someone could leave instructions in this thread, I'll have a crack at it in the morning.

Update ! Fail
Hey Guys,
Attempted update numerous times. Failed every time.
Was rooted, but have unrooted.
I don't think there's anything that should stop it from updating to GB.
Any suggestions on a fix?
Anyone else find it crazy that Telstra finally gets its butt into gear just before ICS?
Rooted the new update with the application found here.
bootloader unlocked?
Anyone else not get their bootloader unlocked with the 2.3 update? I had to manually unlock mine, but in the end it was fairly easy using the guides on here.
Just that i heard/read that the bootloader was supposed to be unlocked with the 2.3 update, so thought i would ask.

No it was still locked. The Telstra update sbf was more a service sbf than a complete upgrade/wipe (I tested this by flashing the sbf with RSD lite, over the air as well as the Moto Updater - results all the same) - as in you dont lose any of your settings or apps, just updated the OS but doesnt do anything else.

I received the OTA for ICS today, and it updated without any problems like some are having. However, since receiving the update, I get NO SERVICE most places. I'll occasionally show 1 bar of service and at that point SMS will come flooding through and send out. I have a 9020A and i'm wondering if they didn't change the radio to the T-Mobile version. Is anyone else having similar issues? I plan on possibly flashing a different radio to the phone when i get home (i'm currently at work)
I'm kinda going nuts. I only recently went to this from an I9000. I haven't even rooted it or flashed any roms. It was entirely stock. I'm admittedly a novice with this phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Android - 4.0.3

And why didn't you grab a link before you ran the update? My guess says is you got a failed update and need to reapply.
I'm a noob to all this BUT at the very least I can tell you that you need to flash a different radio since "Baseband - NO DGSXXKI1" indicates a radio that is not going to work.

I used that guide as a referemce:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396937
You will have to re-flash a radio, if you paid attention, you probably saw a line about flashing a new radio during the process.
Flashing a radio is a quick and painless process if you have the SDK with fastboot installed. (Newer version on Mac doesn't include fasttboot, you have to get it on top of it)
Here's the link to the Radios:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
I suggest you look for your carrier, you might found people recommending different radio for different speed/reception. Get one radio, flash it, test speed and signal and find the one that works best.
You should be all set with those links.
Thanks everyone, I'll try this out in a bit and get back to you. I never read anything about flashing a radio. Again, I got the ota directly from Google... At least wifi is working.

That's how it works with all custom work. Once you're off stock, you're going to have to wait for someone to post a safe update/install.
Rushing in and taking an OTA is a very common way of breaking your build. Like what we see with running an OTA while rooted. Any number of problems can come up.
They could patch any number of things that would give you a very bad day.
With the support we have here though, we'll probably have flashable, safe OTA zips within a few hours of an OTA being captured/downloaded.

Rushing in and taking an OTA is a very common way of breaking your build. Like what we see with running an OTA while rooted. Any number of problems can come up.
They could patch any number of things that would give you a very bad day.
With the support we have here though, we'll probably have flashable, safe OTA zips within a few hours of an OTA being captured/downloaded.

well i am from sony device..they release main update of android..and 1 bug fix,thats all...so we dont care..and no need to worry about relocking issues..
this is the first asus device...man they releasing update for every 10days..i thought we could apply just like that..but since they didnt gave unlocked bootloader tool ,i got these doubt..
and thanks for info..
so i must wait for zips which is modified for unlocked bootloader[if they trying to relock]
I honestly doubt they're going to find a way to relock it with an update, but who knows what voodoo they may come up with.
Either way, we'll grab the updates and get them ready to be flashed quickly. It's a simple process.
I highly doubt he will do anything regarding unlocking/locking bootloader. because:
1. last year they released their official tool to unlock zenfone 4,5,6 bootloader after 3-4 months of release.
2. This year when they launched the zf2 in US they hold contest and developer events via xda. Now xda is a place where no one keeps their bootloader locked. so they knew exactly where they are releasing and advertising the product.
So I dont think they would even bother about this bootloader . Maybe it is an unstable build in terms of their quality test.
Dang, and my 551 (2/16GB) is still in transit.
Was browsing the forum and this thread - has 2.19 been captured and saved somewhere else, or was everyone just downloading off ASUS servers for this OTA (when forced)?
I don't know if I would want 2.19 yet. Maybe to keep on my PC until the right time. That is, if 2.20 comes out and the BL hole is plugged, and those who were on 2.19 (and took advantage of the bootloader unlocking) still got the update successfully - if either of those two outcomes are false, I wouldn't use it.

Everthings here http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/ota-links-stock-rom-t3093999
android is open source. and roms are not illegal. so why bother? i don't think asus is interested on ours bootloader plus, other zenfone's are already unlocked

Even if your phone gets here on a newer version (it won't), you could always downgrade everything and unlock from there. =)
Shakalaka has backups of everything going back to like version 2.12 or 2.13.

Problem is they can't support any ROM that isn't official on the zenfone. They'll pass you off. Like most manufacturers.
These are just official update links from Asus. Not backups. Asus can shut those down at any point. Not saying they will.
See here for pre-rooted ROM backups:

one more doubt..
i think 2.17 is stable build from asus without the android os drinking the battery
now i have unlocked the bootloader ,can i reflash the 2.17[asking since it doesnt have the things which enabled to unlock bootloader] ...or once unlocked,we can do anything like other brands phone?

I downloaded the appropriate OTA the other night, so if ASUS pulls the file, I still have it and can share it on Dropbox and/or Copy.
I get the phone today! So hopefully tonight I get the OTA up to 2.18 and then wait to see what upcoming 2.20 has to offer. If we can still unlock the BL with 2.20, I will let that OTA happen. Similarly if we find out that those who unlocked their bootloaders can't take the update (at that point I will cry a little, if there is no official way to unlock BL released with the update ).
If both scenarios above are false, then I will apply my downloaded 2.19, unlock the bootloader, then accept 2.20.
Best one could do eh?

I cannot imagine it would re-lock the bootloader. Should be able to downgrade, as long as you use the whole image and not just the OTA zip.
Now you got me wondering....

no i didnt mean it will relock,..
but the unlocked needed some file right..it modifies something right? ...and it is not present in old things..so can old fw run on unlocked bootloader? [or would it get bootloop or damage bootloader]
