Interesting...last night I was messing around with my phone. I flashed the 2.3.1 fastboot images, booted up, fully expecting to see the update notification for "Ice Cream Sandwich MR1 (4.0.3)" as I always have. Much to my surprise, however, it instead said "Nexus S Update to Android 2.3.6".
Maybe this is a good sign that a new ICS update is coming soon.
Discuss.
When is the last time you got an OTA? For most people OTAs have been disabled for quite some time.
Two weeks ago my phone would still update 2.3.x to 4.0.3 via OTA.

Well, I don't know that it means a 4.0 is on the horizon or just that 4.0.3 was worse than they thought. Either way, I guess we will see a release in the next few weeks. It seems the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S haven't sort of stopped receiving updates lately. My guess is they are trying to update both devices to a newer less buggy build.
I got my nexus i9023 a few days ago. It was 2.3.3 and I got no OTA. I flashed to 2.3.6 and still no OTA.

Since they initially disabled ICS OTAs in certain countries, the OTA update system was completely shut down for those users. If ICS isn't being rolled out to anyone, I would guess it is the same and no one will get any OTA updates for any versions. I don't understand why Google is doing this but it isn't new.
Yes. They did the same thing for US users when they pulled the 2.3.3/GRI40 update. Anyone who had 2.3, 2.3.1 or 2.3.2 had no OTA at all until 2.3.4 came out.

Just curious, how long do previous iphone models get the latest iOS update when a new iphone comes out? Is it same day or shortly after?
I'm glad to see Google is closing the time between a Nexus device launch and past device getting the latest Android update.

Older IOS devices get it on the same day, or a couple of days before the new Iphone is released.
For Example IOS5 came out on Oct 12 this year and the Iphone 4S wasn't released until Oct 14..
its easy when they only have one or two other architectures to worry about. with the ns theres at least 3 i think
That's a good idea for an internal test. Can't wait!

well i tried my little ace up my sleeve. downgraded back to 2.3.4 stock prerooted, to see if i would get and no go lol. it just prompted me for gingerbread 2.3.7 updating. worth a shot i might try this everyday.
Not that it will likely matter for you but even your phone was first in line for the ota up to ics, you would almost certainly get the ota update up to 2.3.7 if you're sprint and 2.3.6 for gsm. prior to ota notification for 4.0
So if you're going to do revert to stock and hope you're first to get the ota thing, make sure it is actually the latest stock.
This just makes me all the more eager to get the ota on my phone.
i have an employee edition i9020....can u please tell me how should i turn my phone to stock to check for OTA

alright...so once i flash the stock rom, will it be able to catch ota updates? or do i need to revert stock recovery too? finally what about root? should i unroot it to get the OTA?
And there is no employees edition of the phone. The limited edition phone ( battery cover) is not a "employees edition"
but i knw this one is the early model which was givn to employees
That's true. You will always get the next in line OTA. I remember that's how it was on my Nexus One.

You get the OTA only on stock,non-rooted, out-of-the-box rom.
False. It does not matter if you're rooted. Or if custom recovery
Ima wait till its rooted and flashable

Giggity! Just did the update manually via stock recovery. Got nervous for a minute because when it came back up, the baseband version was coming up as "unknown". WiFi worked but 4G didn't. Reboot fixed it, thankfully.
It looks like there's a new CDMA radio (5DP vs. 54P in HLK75F) in the update, but the LTE radio remains the same version (05.19.07) as HLK75F. There is no bootloader update either, which is a good thing. Once you start getting into new bootloader versions, flashing old firmware instantly becomes a nightmare as anyone with a Motorola smartphone can tell you.
I'm hoping this update means ICS is around the corner. This HLK75H update may be the one that comes out as the "launchpad" for ICS...sort-of like what Google did with the Nexus One. Like a week or two before they upgraded it to Gingerbread, they released a Froyo update 2.2.2 which didn't really fix anything that anyone could figure out. It seems like it was just there to be the upgrade path to Gingerbread.
I hope that's what's going on here. Either way, I'm sure we can say that 3.2.6 is the final release of Honeycomb.

I am not sure as i have not been not rooted for along time but i am thinking if you copy it to your sdcard and reboot into recovery you can apply it through there. At least this option works on my bionic anyway.
To get into recovery you must turn power off then power it on again. Once the red motorola logo comes up count 1 2 3 and then hit the down volume button until it says android recovery then hit the up volume button to select it.

I wouldn't count on it but would hope that ICS is around the corner for us. As for the final release of Honeycomb i would hope so too but who knows what these people at Motorola think. I would like to see an ASOP ICS but i bet moto puts their hands on it before we get it and adds their 2 cents.
Not on the US Xoom. They can't. The updates come from Google. Moto just pushes them. The US Xoom is a Google Experience Device. ICS will be plain vanilla just like Honeycomb is.

I am rooted using Rogue Recovery 1.3.0 and Rogue Kernel 1.4.3 "Rana" (ROM Ver. HLK75F) can I run this Zip from Rogue Recovery without going back to stock kernel and recovery? Will this update un-root me?
I will answer my on questions for 'GP' I ran the update through recovery, I was soft bricked at the Dual Core 'M'. Went back into recovery and reinstalled 'Rogue Kernel 1.4.3 "Rana"' and Universal Root.zip (didn't know if it was needed but figured it wouldn't hurt.) and rebooted after 10 minutes was up and running on HLK75H. Had 'su' updated binaries once system was running and all seems well.
what are you all excited about? This update is worthless

I've seen the announcement that ICS OTA would be rolled out to India. I've been checking the system update every day several times. It's supposed to be informing the servers to prioritize my tablet, but nothing so far
Anyone in India got the OTA ICS update?

Even I waited for a long time for any updates available, but there is no such update till now. Its better to root your tab and install a stock rom.
I did the same and its working much better than the custom rom which was installed in my tab.
I you chose to wait, than it may take some more time. Till than you might find Jelly bean in market. So, I suggest you to root your tab and install a custom rom.
With talks of 4.1 of 5.0 being announced this approaching week at Google I/O, and hopefully us Note users getting it, I'm a little concerned for those of us on an ICS kernel potentially infected with the ICS brick bug. Will it be safe for us to update our advices still through Kies on stock firmware?
I'm pretty sure that if Samsung decides to build 4.1 update for Note they will make sure to eliminate this problem, especially now when they're aware of it and know what and how causes it.

So, whenever the next update from Samsung comes out, be it 4.1, 5.0 or just some bug fixes for ICS 4.0, it should be safe to update?

If it's an official update, yes. But, if it does mess up and you haven't done anything to void the warranty, Samsung would fix it (or should).
But, I don't know if we will get an update or not.
From reading entropy's thread and getting an idea of what's been done before on other devices, its likely that Samsung will simply release an updated kernel without the emmc format command, thereby bypassing the issue, rather than an actual firmware update to correct the flawed emmc bug. If this is the case I would suggest it would be safer to first downgrade the kernel to a safe stock gb kernel before performing the upgrade.
That's all supposition though, until Samsung release an official statement we won't know what avenue they are taking. I really don't see why they wouldn't release a firmware update, perhaps it would mean everyone having to send they're phones in for the update to be applied rather than being able to do it through kies ourselves.

Not necessarily... the s2 was released 6 months before the note. Update cycle is usually 18 months.

Well, finally got a Jelly Bean OTA update this afternoon. My GT2 7.0 is now running 4.1.1 and the whole process was painless and without any issues. All seems to be working well though I have to admit that I had hoped they would put it at 4.1.2 or even 4.2 but maybe they will put out another update one day - before I go on medicare...
