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.

Hold up, Moto sent a message out this morning, but it still isn't actually rolling out just yet. Batches will start by the end of today.
EPIC fail again for Telstra Atrix by Motorola Australia.

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.
Loaded gingerbread last night via WIFI and it took 2hrs to download. But everything is running really well now.

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.

you can tell if you are unlocked, as when you turn on the phone, it says "unlocked" in the top left. cant miss it.

OTA with unlocked bootloader

Hi can we do a ota from stockfirmware with a unlocked bootloader or with seus?
Hey, don't do OTA with unlocked bootloader! DON'T. Many people have already bricked their arc and play by doing so, including me. There is a fix for this brick already, but warning beforehand!
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Update firmware through flashtool if you need to.

Okay thanks for the early warning.
Welcome! Not to mention Sony Ericsson declines to fix phones with unlocked bootloader which are bricked. Not even if it got bricked through OTA. They will claim you responsible.

If you had your bootloader unlocked with testpoint method, you are free to OTA update with no issues, only phones unlocked through official sony method loose ability to OTA.

Yep OTA away, you will have no issues. If you deleted any apps from /system/app/ though OTA will fail. You must restore /system/ to default state
I haven't deleted anything I just took the brand new phone out the box linked up with Alejandrissimo lol used a pair of tweezer to bridge the test point cause I couldn't find a paper clip anywhere and when done check it was unlocked and put it back in the box.

Ok so i checked my firmware and its 3.0.A.2.184 android 2.3.2 it says i need to update this by pc so what do i use sony ericsson update service?
Update well i went ahead and used the pc updater and it flashed a newer firmware sucesfully so far so good no broken phone due to unlocked bootloader.
update and i can now confirm i have 4.0.A.2.368 android 2.3.3
Since I have updated my firmware with the sony pc updater would it have locked the bootloader?

Yes but you will only get updates for the region that rom is for! So for example if you flash the Generic/World version, you will only get Generic/World updates, And if you flash the nordic version you will only get nordic rom updates

Full 4.0.4 OTA From 2.3.1 Odin

Just a heads up
I had to odin to 2.3.1 and as soon as my phone booted i got ota 4.0.4
This is not about Odin.
And the update is different than the one you get if you're on 4.0.3.
What model? What carrier? What country?
1920t T mobile USA.
Why do people ODIN the Nexus S?
The fastboot images are in the ODIN tar, and fastboot flashing doesn't have the risk of bricking.

What if you can't get into bootloader?
Believe it or not, this is NOT a full ROM package. If you open it, it's full of patches and if you look at the updater script, you'll see it specifically references a requirement for 2.3.1 GRH78.
With 4.0.4, Google seems to be releasing individual OTA incrementals for each previous build. So far we have links for:
2.3.1 (GRH78)
2.3.3 (GRI54)
2.3.4 (GRJ22)
2.3.6 (GRK39F)
4.0.3 (IML74K)
We still need the links for:
2.3 (GRH55)
2.3.2 (GRH78C)
2.3.3 (GRI40)
If anyone can help with those, I'd greatly appreciate it so I can put the links in my stock images threads for I9020T and I9023. I've currently got my Nexus S on 2.3/GRH55 awaiting the OTA link. Right now, it's still offering me an OTA to 2.3.6. Hopefully I'll get it soon. Please let me know if anyone manages to get the 2.3.2/GRH78C or 2.3.3/GRI40 links!
Since we know that Google has done incremental OTA builds as far back as 2.3.1, I'm hoping that the upgrade path from 2.3 to 4.0.4 will be a full ROM package. I can't figure why Google would bother doing an OTA incremental for 2.3/GRH55 since it was only current for one week before being upgraded to 2.3.1, and the vast majority of Nexus S phones (unless you bought one VERY early) never even shipped with it.
Yep saw that

If you mean, you can't get it because you got broken keys, you can boot to bootloader via fastboot. ODIN is for Samsung Galaxy fags

Yes. I mean no disrespect in this, but if you radio tick the "Repartition" option in ODIN, you risk hard bricking.

I got it too, but Im on 4.0.3 KA13 at the moment. I thought AT&T was on 2.3.4 already so it must be a different 2.3.4 firmware like .62 maybe. I would like to know what FW it is also. But I don't feel like contacting AT&T right now.

I just called at&t to get official info about this. They said it was build 3.0.1.B.0.285, which has been out since April. They could not tell me why they sent out a sms about it being a "CRITICAL UPDATE". I recommend NOT getting this update as it will remove root access and as far as I know there is currently no way to root .285.

It is indeed build 3.0.1.B.0.285. I was rooted before I ran the update, and I did not loose root access afterwords. Whether or not you can root after you update if you are not already rooted I do not know.
If you OTA the update you can keep root, but if you use pc companion you will loose root. OTA would not work for me so I had to use PCC, lost root, then had to flash back to .270. Sorry, I should have specified about OTA vs PCC.

You can't do OTA if you are "bootloader unlocked. And about critical-"It's *critical* that AT&T and Verizon come out of the stone age!! We are almost on Jelly Bean.lmao. They just push these out to catch one of us with unlocked bootloaders slipping to force us to buy a new phone.

Not too sure where you are but i would suggest going back to stock again as you need this even to manually install an OTA.
For me i downloaded this file;
http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...61_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_426728_signed.zip
Renamed the file 0PJAIMG.zip and put it on the external SD card. The card should be formatted FAT32 and nothing apart from the zip should be on there. When you reboot into download mode, you will be prompted to flash the zip.
This will wipe your data, so backup what you need
Once you get back to stock the OTA should start
would the zip let you open it? ......Thanks will give it ago will message back if its worked or not cheers
You don't really need to open it.
Just rename as indicated and copy it to the external SD card etc.

I don't think I've ever stopped on a T-Mobile/EE rom for longer than a week. They're normally well behind even the other UK networks with updates.
I'll stay on 2.10.401.1 anyway. I doubt EE will be this fast with any future minor updates.
