Im running a 4g xoom with 3.2.2 with custom kernal and running great . Can anyone guide me in the right direction to turn of the annoying ota update
The thing that worked for me...just go ahead and click install. Your Xoom will reboot and try to install the update. It will then freeze. Hold Vol Up and Power to reboot the tablet. Update doesn't work but the notification is gone! The problem, if you turn off the tablet and reboot, the notification will pop back up. But, how often do you need to turn off the tablet?
The other option, install the new Tiamat 4G ROM.
I updated, Tab rebooted and all is good, I was worried that I would loose something but nothing went wrong.

I finally got my epic to update both the firmware and modem to DI18. Along the way I installed clockworkmod rom manager, busy box, and had to re-root. Now my phone's power button will not put the phone to sleep unless the phone is on the lock screen. Can anyone tell me what may have happened and how I could fix it? Thanks.
My market died too. I don't understand where all these issues are coming from because I am running stock rooted.
I did a restore and narrowed it down to the full DI18 update wrecking it. But now i'm back with DG17 firmware and DI18 Radio...
Fixed.
this USE Clockworkmod

Then use odin and this file in the phone portion.

Then this USE Clockworkmod

Be patient, it got stuck at the Galaxy S screen for 5 minutes.
Then you have to re-root.
And now I'm fully updated with my market and sleep button working.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE OTA WORK AGAIN? My phone keeps reporting there are no updates, even when I was at DG07.
I'd really love some help on this one guys. Getting a little annoyed at my second TF.
Stock TF, not flashed, not nothing.
Tried everything in the FOTA update thread, still nothing.
Any other ideas?
I finally tried to FOTA update today as well, from a rooted 8.2.3.9 (don't care if I lose root).
It goes through the flash progress bar, but at the end of it, it comes up with the exclamation mark and I need to hold power to reboot. When the device comes back on, its still 3.0.1.
I'm guessing either my root, or coming from 8.2.3.9 instead of 8.2.3.13 is causing the issue. When I get around to backing up some stuff, then I'll try more destructive methods of updating
My Acer is stock with only ADW Launcher. I've not rooted it or done any modifications to it otherwise. No SD card in it when OTA attempted.
The OTA attempted to download today but seemed to have failed and ultimatly seems to have bricked the tablet. I called Acer Support and they want me to send the tab in to be fixed but I'm hoping there is a way to fix it still.
The OTA prompte came up and I agreed to download.
Download progress bar started but an hour later when I came back to my desk it was still at 0%.
I tried to cancel but it wouldn't cancel nor could I get back to the desktop or to anything else, basically frozen.
Not sure whatelse to do, I powered it off and turned it back on.
The Acer logo comes on and then the Android logo and that is as far as it gets.
Acer had me try holding power and vol down button. That would get me to android with a yellow triangle but thats its.
I found online the hard reset of power/vol up and toggle switch and got 'Erasing Data' but it never gets further.
Anyone have any suggestions of what to try?

You could try a manual update to 3.2 using the official Acer ota ROM found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
Drop the ROM associated with your current GEN on your external SD card, rename it "update.zip", then boot with your external SD card in the slot while holding power and volume.
Should do the trick.
Okay... so got it out of its hung state and its now sporting Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2. I lost everything somehow but I can deal with that. The problem now is that the Wifi won't make connection. It attempts too but never obtains the ip address. Everything else in the house connects fine. Is there a fix for this or do I need to attempt the downgrade back to 3.1 to get wifi back?
UPDATE: Fixed the wife... not sure exactly how though. Was trying the different roms from the thread below and now am showing Acer_A500_7.006.13_COM_GEN2 and wifi works.

Good job!
[Q] {FIXED}Problem with new OTA update..??....software"failed to update" message....
I have downloaded the update and clicked update now three times, and keep getting a failed to update message??.....any ideas..??.....I am rooted, but have used Voodoo to unroot......edit (now have tried 7 times......gets to the little android, and about one third of the way through installing, I get the triangle of death)
EDIT: See response below.......
Same thing is happening to me, except the phone is useless, because if I pull the battery and let it start up normally, the auto-update shutdown happens, and the cycle starts all over again.
If it matters, I'm on a stock AT&T rom with an unlocked bootloader.
FINALLY!!!
Finally got it......went to Moto.....tried through manual update with sd card......didn't work.......tried Autoupdater......didn't work the first time......ran Autoupdater a second time and IT WORKED........try that......
Still not working for me, what do you mean by Autoupdater? I've tried the SD card method and the downloaded method.
I'm having the same problem. Stock rom, rooted. the only modding i've done is the webtop over hdmi hack. tried both the manual and auto update.
There are two options on Moto......one is sd card.....the other is Auto......
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/ATRIX-4G_Software_Update_Page
But Voodoo did not save root......gotta find another way to root......not unlocking bootloader......maybe Pete's OneClick will update to 2.3.6 soon......
i factory reset to see if it would fix the update. ew ew ew ew motoblur ew ew ew ew ew. kill it with fire. oh the things i do for updates....
iM having problems with ota updates... phone is on 2.3.4 unlocked bootloader, i do the ota update... ended up failed to boot 4starting rsd.. flashing the 2.3.4 unlocked sbf brings phone back to life... i USED THE MOTOROLA SOFTWARE UPDATERand phone is on offical 2.3.6 software and firmware. with locked bootloader.
I keep trying the auto updater but How do I make my phone stop the auto shutdown. I cant make it stay on for more than 30 seconds I do a battery pull reboot the phone boots up fine works then 30 seconds later shuts-down and tries to install the update again and it gives me the exclamation with the android. Never mind I did a factory reset via recovery phone works fine.

THAT.
this is the same problem that's happened literally every time there has been a carrier update. search on how to restore webtop hack to stock and you'll be able to update after that.
rooted, locked bootloader, some hacks like HDMI webtop got fail to update massage
Those who don't know how to restore some hacks to stock, just go to http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/ATRIX-4G_Software_Update_Page
choose Automated upgrade, download Motorola_Software_Update.exe, follow the steps to update.
Good luck!
I successfully rooted my phone and was about to delete the annoying OTA Update notification but my palm accidentally hit the install when it popped up again... and the my phone just immediately rebooted and it's in recovery mode trying to install the update. I removed the battery right away but every time I put it back in, it shows that Android mascot trying to install and update... I DO NOT WANT KITKAT!! How can I get out of that when booting up or am I doomed in having that install all the way through and I have to use ODIN to flash Jellybean??

I just had the exact same thing happen. Wasn't paying attention when the update popped up. I immediately pulled my battery as well and everytime I try to boot the phone back up it tries to install the Kitkat update. I don't want to upgrade to KK either, I'm perfectly happy on Eclipse. Anyone have any suggestions as what we can do to fix this problem?
