[Q]Update

Hi
i'm on stock 4.1.52 but i try settings > about phone > systems updates, it said "your device is up to date!"
there is no 4.1.57 available for me to download? could it be i'm not using at&t simcard?
Help~

theres a lot of threads on these.
just search

any1 could help?

You're running an Atrix that came stock with 4.1.52? If so there might not be an update for you since that was a different build from the att release Atrix. 4.1.57 was only released to fix some bugs. 1.52 might not have had these so no need to update.

yes its come with 4.1.52... and i'm not using at&t could b there d problem?
well i found lots of same case like mine, just wanna to make sure it can update later on

I think the update is only for US devices. May have something to do with it.

then will b bad bad bad... no more update in d future...

Motorola forums had some information regarding the update only being for 4.1.26 phones. I was in beta for 4.1.57, and this issue was raised then from people who were on 4.1.52.

is stock 4.1.52 for bell atrix?

at&t not bell

If you have a locked bootloader then you can have a look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090
I used this method and now have rooted 2.3.3

I think I'm going to root this weekend. Has anyone from Rogers rooted and went to 2.3.3 rooted? I have an R800a model. I have to uninstall stuff all the time because it won’t use the SD card. I can't even open Google Talk when the memory is low.

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.

Help please guys..
OK, so I did the PC update to 2.3.3. Didn't like it without root
So I used the above processes to get back to 2.3.2. All good but data dont appear to be working. Phone calls everything else is fine. Data is enabled but I never get G H or E in the status bar.
Any ideas? Do I neeed to get onto wifi to download carrier settings?!?!

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.

[Q] I got 2.3.6 Update on Bell

I'm on Bell Canada stock 2.3.4 rom and I have unlocked boot loader. I got an update message today for 2.3.6 update. Should I go ahead with it?

Not the best at searching are ya. Here ya go .http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388935

I suggest that you capture and post back the OTA file here so people can look at it ...
I am under the assumption that phones with unlocked bootloaders won't be able to use OTA will have to manually update with fruitcakes. I may be wrong tho.

No,
I'm unlcoked.
I flashed the BELL 2.3.4 Stock and OTA worked fine.

Recieved ICS OTA to 9020A - Getting No Service

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!
Model: 9020A
Android - 4.0.3
Carrier - Immix Wireless
Baseband - NO DGSXXKI1
Build - IML74K
Kernel - 3.0.8-gb55e9ac [email protected] #1

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.

Is this a troll
Did we just get trolled? Dude that's so cruel.

Grab the radio here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 and flash it with fastboot. That should get you the proper radio and get your phone back in working order...

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.

This indicates he's got the wrong ROM. Probably used ROM manager to restore back to stock, leaving him with the i9020t image.

There is another thread around here somewhere. I've been doing so much searching today i cant remember where i saw but, apparently rogers pushed the ota ICS update for a short period of time and then pulled it. I guess i know why now. shouldnt be much longer if the just have to package the proper radio. cross your fingers

asus said they cancelled this update due to unstable update...
1st i dont know what is unstable in this version[same as previous and new bug of call screen animation
2nd lol which update came without new bugs?
3rd they removed after they heard about unlocking bootloader..something fishy right :laugh:

they will probably patch the unlock method with the next update, gonna unlock the bootloader before updating to next update.

Nothing they can do. As long as you don't flash an OTA or full stock build. They may have a way to patch it in their droidboot.

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.

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.

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]
