SEUS updates available?

I've searched around the forum and can't find anything so I figured I'd just ask.
I ran SEUS and it says there is an update available, and the first time it downloaded a 133 MB file, but i didn't notice anything different when I rebooted the phone. Now it keeps telling me there is an update available, but it doesn't seem to download anything and the update doesn't seem to do anything either.
Anyone have this happen or know the thread where it may have been addressed before?
[UPDATE I actually found some other users in the Update 1.6 by country thread so I'm just going to post there from now on. I don't know why I didn't think of looking in there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717818&page=30 ]

You need to give us some information about the update and current version you have FW.

Seus has never found an update for my phone. I've manually upgraded firmware twice and currently using ver R2BA024.
Does Seus allow update by country? Has anyone in Australia gotten update through Seus?

I have. When I plugged my X10 in it and I pressed the Update button it told me there is a newer version available.

I'm on the stock AT&T firmware. I just got the phone last week.

I am assuming that you don't know where to read the firmware version.
Push the left button on your phone while you are on the main screen(no lock)
select "settings" and then go all the way down to the end and select "About Phone" and read the last number which is says "Build Number"
The page you are actually on has the least information about your phone.
I am aware that there was an update for ATT last to couple weeks ago but sometimes SEUS goes crazy and notify you when there is none. Your phone probably is branded "means that att has locked it" and you may want to unbrand it (you can search the development section for that) you can also root to get access to all the programs if you need to uninstall them.
Unfortunately Android 2.1 is not out for this phone as of now but it will be. They will first release for unbranded phone (this is what they have told us) and then branded later this year. It may take sometimes for ATT to update but if you wait you can flash a different one when its available on this forum later.
I hope I could help you a bit.

And I assumed you would know that the stock AT&T FW version was 1.6 and the build number is R2CA016 which I thought was common knowledge and is why I didn't initially post it. I guess both of our assumptions were wrong.
I know my way around android and I already knew everything you posted. None of which answers my question except for the part about SEUS going "crazy". I didn't want to even try doing a full root and going to a different build until after the 2.1 update. I've used SWM to load the x10 root app so I could use Titanium to remove the at&t crapware already. I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but I'm not a noob and 90% of your post was made with the assumption I was.
I've been following all of the 2.1 update threads and I wasn't even considering it was the 2.1 update. I just wasn't sure what it COULD have been since I also couldn't find any kind of update history either.

Anyone got the Three(UK) Froyo?

According to the three galaxy s blog : blog.three.co.uk/2010/07/28/video-samsung-galaxy-s-on-three/#comments
Froyo was live on keis on Friday, yet it still isn't showing up for me
Current Version : PDA:JG2 / Phone:JG1 / CSC: JF2
Anyone else upgraded officially from three

I will check that at home tonight. Will let you know in a few hours time.

It may take a while to get around to everyone.
I would wait a few hours and see if the update appears.

No update for me.
PDA: JG3 PHONE: JG1 CSC: GPG
"The device's version cannot be updated"

Hmm - There seems to be an update to Kies though. Wonder if it's related? Downloading now...

Oh well, updated Kies and still no Froyo update despite it having been 'available since Friday'

Same thing here ... got excited by the Kies update thinking I'll have Froyo afterwards

We'll just have to accept that Three are incompetent

I spoke to a Three Tele Team , He told me that It was a Beta Testing and got Out Mistakenly , And he confirmed its not Live at this Moment and he also confirmed that its coming out this Week Definetly ... and he told That you people will like the Froyo Update From Three ...
I dono if they also have people there like XDA , who do Lagfix and other Fixes .... Becz My Orignal 2.1 Three ROM had no LAG no , problems at all ....

Ah well, another day passes and no froyo for me, darnit!

Mmm now that would be lovely -- a fast stable Froyo I do experience lag from time to time -- esp sometimes when receiving a phone call ...

I get that sometimes......usually after three bottles of wine

Not sure whether anyone in this thread will be able to help, but I've got a Galaxy S on Three and am wondering how it'll react when Froyo finally arrives.
You see, in a fit of frustration last month when Samsung said 2.2 was out for the Galaxy S, then suddenly said it wasn't unless you were Norwegian - I tried the Kies registry hack.
That caused weirdness with my phone, and ended up with leaving it only starting in recovery mode. Eventually Kies decided to reflash, and I seem to have ended up with some kind of unbranded firmware.
It shows up in Kies as PDA:JM2/PHONE:JM1/CSC:JM1, and says "This device's version cannot be updated".
Anyone know whether the release of the Three version of Froyo will fix this?
Thanks!

You wont be able to upgrade with 3 unless you get your old software back and the only way i know possible is by using the kies registry patcher.

New Upgrade

Hi, my phone wants be to upgrade the firmeware and i was wondering if it has any negative side effects for a phone that is rooted. I remember last time when i upgraded it since my phone was rooted it caused all sorts of problems and i am wondering if the same thing happens now.

If you want the upgrade unroot the phone......... but what firmware upgrade is it ?

Its the long awaited OTA 2.2 a tmo rep told me it was rolling out this week, but with no hard evidence I didnt post it.
(_ Don't PM me. just send an email. [email protected] _)

Ya, i got invited to upgrade, but i am worried when i do it will screw up my cellphone since its unrooted.

Just unroot then..

Dont worry,just do it

2.2.2 streak rom question

I just recently picked up a dell streak. It's brand new with what I'm guessing it the latest shipped rom which is build number 15274 running android version 2.2.2
All I see is custom roms and reflashing back to other roms to root....blah blah blah...is there a way to just root my current rom and not have to flash a completely new one? I'm all for supporting the community, I'd just like to keep this as device as clean as possible and remove all the bloatware.

Download SuperOneClick v1.5.5 and root away. Dont forget to put your phone into USB debugging mode before rooting, its very important that you do that. Or just follow the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925853 good luck.

Wow thanks, I totally skipped over that post!!! I guess from what I was reading I was expecting the whole process to be a lot more complicated.
Thanks a ton!

Anytime.

How come Dell don't push out the 2.2.2 version OTA to their customers?
I check for updates every day, but have just once received any. (2.2)
Their way of saying; "we just don't give a f*ck about our customers"?

You should have gotten that update weeks ago. It's been OTA for probably about a month now. And I don't know how much you've read, but a lot of what happened with not updating from 1.6 was probably AT&T's fault because they wouldn't okay the build (speculated). Dell had the source up for 2.2 for a long time, if I remember correctly.

I'm on unlocked stock EU ROM since day one. Just to clarify.
Do you mean the 2.2.2 was shipped OTA, for EU users too?

Ohhh. Didn't notice you were on EU. I don't know if Dell released one for EU yet (probably hasn't since you don't have the option to OTA). Just remember that it's not just the phone maker responsible for updates, the carrier has some say in it, too. Are you still on 1.6? Because you could always try out DJ Steve's ROM if you wanted to try something different.

No, the one OTA update I received, was the 1.6 --> 2.2 on last October.
Since then - nothing. I guess it's only in America people get the 2.2.2.
Thanx for taking time to reply.

No problem, haha. I hope you get it soon

I really want the update to, I'm in the Uk and I'm still on 2.2, I would do it myself but its just to complicated and don't wanna mess up my phone. Has anyone in the Uk got the 2.2.2 upgrade? And to be honest I really wont the 2.3 upgrade, but seeing as we still don't have the 2.2.2 upgrade, I think we'll be waiting a long time :'(

2.2.2?
If someone updated from 1.6, to the "non official" 2.2, is there any difference between it and 2.2.2?

2.2.2 is supposedly immune to the malware loaded from the 50 or so infested apps that Google removed recently from the market.

Downgrade HDX 7 from 4.5.1 to 3.2... could be possible

Hallo!
Many of you have already received the anoying 4.5.1 upgrade and wait for a miricle so they can root/safestrap/install custom rom etc.
There are many discussions about if this is possible or not.
Many of you contacted Amazon trying to explain they have problems after 4.1.1/4.5.1, assuming at this time, only amazon can "push" such a downgrade for your device.
I want to share here my experience so far.
I got a Kindle HDX 7 last Friday , because it was only 100 EUR at Amazon.
Having no idea what kind of crap regarding its OS it is, I let it update automaticly to 4.5.1.
I saw then, that I can not do any root/custom firmware on it since 4.5.1 is new and not "hacked". There is a thread here in XDA and also a similar ones at other android forums, that someone suggests contacting Amazon and making them "push" a Downgrade from the servers to your device. Many of you already tried it and it did not work.
I have contacted Amazon trought Chat about 5 times. First I was being told that its "techicaly impossible" to do any kind of downgrade or they avoided my conversation and only suggested that I bring my device to service for a replacement. After 4-5 failed attempts I spoke to some random Amazon guy, were I stated that I do not like the new 4.... versions and I insist I get a roll back. I told him also that my device freezes and restarts by itself after the 4.1.1 and persisting trought 4.5.1.
And than the miricle happened. He told me a rollback to 3.2... is possible and he would contact me with more info per E-mail and in 1-2 days their Technical department will "send" the downgrade directly to my Kindle.
I would post here after I have some more news/I have succesfully downgradet.
So, a downgrade via Amazon IS POSSIBLE!
Kind Regards

yea sure a downgrade is possible. Hopefully one of our DEV's find a solution to emulate an "amazon pushed downgrade assignment"

You read my mind.
Would be nice to be able to flash versions ourselves.

I'll wait under 30 days
I think my kindle already had a 4.something software for the uk as soon as I turned it on it updated once to 4.5.1 and the logs state 4.1 to 4.5.
I'm going to wait under 30 days and then return it as it doesn't connect well with the chromecast or my smart tv, and Amazon simply say wait for another update and it might work but don't count on it but they blamed it all on google (a lie).
One thing with everyone now owning one, I bet the number of calls to "mayday" has gone up and we could all ask regularly about items they have omitted to allow work, see if they can keep to the 15 second target?
It also looks having read all the forums that its been well over a year and few people bought one especially the clever dev's, and the bootloader looks incredibly well locked down compared to versions 1+2, so no-one is working on it.
what does everyone think about the chance of being able to get google play store working on the new 4.5 or should I use it for another week and then return it due to having fantastic hardware but severely software limited and save up for something with a mostly vanilla android.

Temporary solution
hello guys i went to a lot sites looking for a way to root the kindle fire hdx 7 on fire os 4.5.1
its a pain if you got the OTA and you didnt know it was very important to stop that update in order to be able to root.
here a solution to run android apps without crash its very long proccess but if you want it you can have it!
search on youtube : How to install GAPPS (Google Apps) on the Fire HD6, HD7, and HDX
from Imma Wake
no link cuz im new here!

I was also able to get my downgraded from 4.5.1 . After being passed around between departments for 15mins I finally got someone that was able to do what I asked. She said I should be receiving an email within 1-2 business days with further information on the downgrade.

I am waiting for it since last Friday (28.11). I contacted amazon two days ago and they told me they still wait for an answer from the technical department?! Yesterday I made an angry e-mail and I got a fast answer with great apology and a promise they will be ready till 10.12.

I really wish I saw this post before hand I just wasted 3 hours trying two root this bloody thing and two find out fun 7 > 4.5.1 wont root, I feel like a bloody lemon now, I hope someone can help downgrade or update the hack what a bummer.

I'm chatting with Amazon custom service,
They accept my kindle roll back to os 13.3.x.x but they warning my kindle cant not further updates
well well
so confusing

Yep, got the same thing yesterday after going through 6-7 different chats.

well this is what the CS chats:
" 09:14 AM PST Vijayalakshmi(Amazon): We are unable to roll back the software version of your Kindle device as the software version is too high. Only devices running FIRE OS version 4.1.1 can have their software rolled back to the previous version.
I see your Kindle is updated with Fire OS 4.5.1 (451004520).
However, to help you in this case I have forwarded your issue to our technical team with more information.
09:15 AM PST Vijayalakshmi(Amazon): They will get back to you with more information regarding your software roll back."
still waiting..... OS 4.5.1 is very nice, everything is ok, just only i cant connect to Google Play Services, does anyone know how to solve that????
Thanks alot

Isn't it required that it be a system app in order to function properly?

You have to install some services which requires root. This means playstore isn't compatible with not rootable kindle versions like 4.5.1

Finally! AMZ downgraded my Kindle
Hi!
Amazon rolled back my Kindle yesterday!
It took me one chat and one email to get them downgrade my device.
I switched on my Kindle yesterday and it automatically flashed the 3.2.7 Firmware which we still can root by using the towel root method!
Is there any info I can upload from my Kindle for you? If the files still exists of course...
Cheers
URBANsUNITED

I just managed to get them working on rolling back mine an hour ago, first try to. and she did it while I was on the phone with her. Pretty easy, but I did have a pretty damn good story.
Thread Necro, sorry, meant to post in the other window I have open.

Amazon succesfull Downgrade my Kindle Fire HDX to 3.2.7. Rooting with towelroot works .
Is there a solution to downgrade to 3.1.0 from 3.2.7 ?

@isRaZZe
Which version had your hdx, 4.5.1 or 4.5.2 ?
