Hi chaps
I bought my nexus from CPW back in january and I think at the time it was running 2.3.1 and it wasnt getting any OTA updates. I manually upgraded to 2.3.6 but haven't had the OTA for 4.0.4. Has anyone else from over here had it? I ask as I wonder if I will get it as i bought the phone sim free and I am using a vodafone sim.
Cheers
I bought mine from cpw also in January, and mine came with 2.3.1 i think as well, I manually updated mine to 4.0.3 but have not had a notification to update to 4.0.4, no idea if I will either, but all the updates were done using the official files off here.
Bought my NS from CPW on boxing day. Flashed manually to 4.0.3. and I'm totally at stock , no root.
Still no OTA. I'm on Orange.

I got my NS (i9023) simfree from play.com, came with 2.3, got various OTA updates to 2.3.7, got the OTA update to 4.0.3 in December, still waiting for OTA 4.0.4.
Don't really want to have to back everything up so I can root it in order to do the manual update process!
No for me - bought from CPW with 2.3.1 after 4.0.3 was pulled - manual update to 2.3.6 - no OTA. Running on TMOB.
Nope I haven't got the OTA yet, i9023 sim free on virgin mobile and android version 4.0.3
Bought my simfree Nexus S from CFW, on boxing day.
Using my O2 simcard.
Manually updated to Android 4.0.3 using official stock files from XDA.
Thus far, no OTA. :-(

Except that to do the manual update you have to root & unlock boot, and that requires wiping the device. I know you can backup & restore everything, but it's a lot of faff if the OTA is imminent anyway!

You only have to unlock if you want to flash it with a 4.0.3 recovery. And you never have to root it to apply a OTA update. 2.3.6 stock recovery will apply the update just fine without unlocking.

Incorrect - I already have 4.0.3, and under ICS you need root to do a manual update. If I had 2.3.6 then this would work. Under 4.0.3 it doesn't.

2.3.6 might work fine - but I have 4.0.3, which requires root to do a OTA update manually (see 'A NOTE ABOUT ANDROID 4.X OTAs' here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635 )

Not true. You need to unlock the bootloader and flash CWM recovery. There's a difference between root and unlocking the bootloader.
yes, unlocking the boot loader is enough as you basically just need the cwm recovery.
But your data still gets wiped if you unlock the bootloader...even without root.
If you are going to unlock the bootloader and wipe the user data/cache, you might as well flash the stock 4.0.4 image with fastboot, and you don't have to bother with CWM.
Thanks, you're all correct, but as you say it still requires me to wipe & restore (which I wanted to avoid). I'm impatient, so I started to have a go at that but hit problems. I'll start a different thread to sort that out now!
So no one has received the 4.0.4 update in the UK??

But who sends the update? google or the mobile companys? And another question specifically to the CPW buyers, if we didn't get the OTA from 2.3.1 to 2.3.6, what makes you think we will get the update to 4.0.4?

I would like to find out too. But just to throw in some hope, I got my 4.0.3 OTA from 2.3.6 back in December via wifi. I bought my simfree phone on best buy, and I'm using the giffgaff (which uses the O2) network.

2) Currently my phone keeps prompting me to update to the 3.? OTA update that was already downloaded but i have not installed it fearing that the phone will get locked again. My question here is, Can i skip 3.? update and directly Update to Gingerbread

1- Updates don't lock the phone back to Verizon
2- You can't update OTA directly to Gingerbread. You have to go through 3.8.7.

To update via TBH you'll need to be rooted.
Otherwise you can apply the zip file that's available on the forum from stock recovery (doesn't need root).
Thanks Rafeee2
My fone is rooted. and i'm new to android... is there a place that gives step by step instructions on the TBH method

You can't root Gingerbread on the Pro yet. The only way to have rooted Gingerbread is through the Team Black Hat app.

When i was rooted with Z4root, and accepted a VZ update, it put my phone in limbo.
I still had the SU icon, but i did not have SU permissions on my phone. Even doing a factory reset did not clear everything out. I had to manually push the OS onto my phone, then reinstall the current VZ update.
I just ordered a new, unlocked, but vodafone-branded Motorola Pro... Is there going to be an OTA update or do I need to flash a certain ROM (there are a few around, but I guess they're all from verizon)?
cheers,
You can only play around on droid pro not Moto Pro coz there is no sbf

Thanks for the tip. I will hold off on this plan for now then.
I just don't know why I haven't received a SINGLE OTA update till date. I am still stuck on 2.3.4. I didn't even receive one for the GRK39C 2.3.6 a few weeks ago. Any reason why?

I didn't receive the update either. Google cancelled it I believe because it broke USB tethering, which people use a lot more than voice search.
I'm just waiting for the Ice Cream Sandwich update
Couldn't care less about Gingerbread these days.

As stated, the update killed tethering, both USB and hotspot.
As for why you did not get it, the explanation is simple. When El'Goog push out an OTA, it does so to a set percentage of phones, as each day rolls by, they add more and more phones, untill over a week or two period of time, all phones get the update.
with the 2.3.6, the update got canceled before being released to all the phones, your phone just happened to be in the group that had not received it yet.
Now as to why the current one failed, the 2.3.6 that is listed in my sticky applies to ONLY the i9020T/i9023 and NOT the i9020a, so the signature will fail.
if you grab the OTA from the thread that is listing ALL ota's, it should apply, if you still get a signature failure, please state the ENTIRE message as it should indicate what fails the signature.
I got the update last night cause I'm using the i9020A and I'm currently on 2.3.4 ... it failed on me when I pressed install...

2.3.6 that was released on the AT&T/GSM version was pulled several weeks ago. The rollout of the fixed 2.3.6 for that version of the Nexus S has started rolling out as well. There's not a tethering issue with the 2.3.6 that is rolling out to the T-Mobile version.
Has anyone noticed any differences between 2.3.4 and 2.3.6?
I mean in terms of speed, performance and stability.
Is the update really worth it?
For starters I'm with Virgin Mobile Canada running stock os on a I9020A. So awhile back I got the 2.3.6 OTA and today got the same update but much smaller in size about 700kb in size. And now I have a new kernel version! Any ideas why folks?
I will update with pics in a minute **

Yep this is the fix to the broken 2.3.6 ota. Has working tethering/hotspot and all .
I received an OTA notification for 2.3.6 yesterday on my Fido Nexus S. I went to update but it failed because I had a custom recovery installed. I reflashed the stock recovery then rebooted and the OTA message is now gone. I know I can download the update manually and do it that way but I'm just curious how I can get the OTA message again.
What about manual checkin? You can find how to do it here on forum...
Yes I've tried *#*#CHECKIN#*#* but it didn't work.
It fixes the tethering, but does not fix the search bug.
my OTA sticky thread has manual links for people who want to apply the update themselves.

Go to Matridom's stickied thread and download it manually.
I received the OTA message but apparently you cannot get it again if the update failed. I just downloaded it and did it manually using CWM.
Will I be able to use the current update from 2.3.4? It says 2.3.6 -> 2.3.6. I won't cause my device to implode if I go 2.3.4 -> 2.3.6 will I?

whats the best way to do this while on 2.3.4? since I can't seem to get ahold of the incremental update file to go from 2.3.4 -> 2.3.6 since it was pulled by google, do I have to do a full ROM flash to the newest 2.3.6 and lose all my data? I'm not rooted so I have no means to back up my apps
[UPDATE] aaaaaand sorry for the double post......
Download the full rom.
Can anyone help me please.
I bought a 2nd hand rooted a500.
successfully flashed to a near stock 3.2.1, but then decided that i wanted to return to stock in order to get OTA updates up to ICS. With a little help on here I managed to flash one of the stock 3.2 roms from vache.

Have you installed the incona tab update enhancement from the play store
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the reply, yes i had installed the update enhancement from play store.
I have now solved the problem so i thought i'd share what i found.
The problem I had:-
I was rooted, but wanted to go back to stock to try the stock OTA ICS. I flashed a stock 3.2 full package from vache's page. The one I went with was 7.006.01_com_gen1. Carried out successfully, however no updates available when doing the system update search. waited a week still nothing, even tried factory reset to clear everything out.
Solution:-
I got impatient so flashed the unstable 3.0.1 rom intending to root again.
before rooting i tried flashing other stock roms (no reason it shouldn't work i reasoned). Successfully flashed full package 4.010.38_com_gen1 (vache's page). tried OTA updates from there and it was successful!!
OTA'd to 7.006.01, then 7.014.01, then on to ICS
Conclusion:-
the difference appears to be the version of android 3.2, I can only assume that 7.006.03 isn't supported in the UK where as 7.006.01 is. If i'd flashed that one in the first place I assume the updates would have worked.
Hey, can you point me to the files and instructions on how to get this done? I rooted it to 7.006.05 long before using thor rom I believe. Not very familiar with the rooting game, but I'm still unable to get ICS update OTA.
FYI, Acer a500 8gb model US.

My understanding from reading around a few threads is that OTA tends not to work if you are rooted and/or running CWM. Not sure on process of un-rooting as i've not done it. But i'm guessing one solution would be flash a stock version of same rom, then do OTA updates.

.. but after installing the OTA, nothing happened, still 4.1.1 .. and still have root, didn't lose it .. basicly the tablet tried to update, but it wasn't successfully .. any idea? .. do i have to unroot before OTA update? .. and, when i try to search for update in "Settings - About Tablet" it saying "Up to Date.. ." .. strange :/
p.s. sorry for my weak English
Did you modify the build.prop or install a custom recovery?
On the Asus TF201, once you unlock the bootloader, installing an OTA update would brick the tablet.
I'm wondering: why it is okay to receive OTA updates on a rooted Nexus 7 with an unlocked bootloader when doing this on the Asus TF201 would brick it?
Right now, my Nexus 7 is running the latest OTA 4.2. It's rooted and unlocked. I want to make sure that when I try to install the next OTA update, I won't brick my Nexus 7.
How did you update your nexus 7, mine failed for both 4.1.2 and 4.2, I'm stocked in 4.1.1. I got the updates OTA on the n7 but when it restarted and try to update it failed.

When I received my update, I was rooted with a locked bootloader. I received a notification that an update was ready to install, and I installed the OTA update. I forgot to use the rootkeeper app, so I lost root. I used Wug's tool to unlock the bootloader and re-root. Wug's toolkit didn't have an option to re-lock the bootloader like a previous toolkit that I had used, so I'm left wondering about the significance of leaving the bootloader unlocked with respect to being able to receive OTA updates. I don't have a desire to flash a custom recovery or custom ROMs on my Nexus 7. I do that on my Galaxy Nexus and Asus TF201, but I just like receiving the stock OTA updates quickly and easily on my Nexus 7.
