When I first started my N7 it told me an update was available, so I downloaded it and installed it. The current version I have is 4.1.1, kernel is 3.1.10-g52027f9 and the build number is JRO03D.
Where there any features removed when this version was installed? Google seems to indicate it was a very minor update.
I ask this because I cannot find the BT tethering option that others have mentioned.

Hi everyone,
I have just purchased a Vodafone-branded Magic/Sapphire. Android prompts me to install an 4.2 MB large update called "Android Update 1.5" with this message:
Please install this update from Google. It contains a security fix.
Now, what really confuses me is that Android 1.5 is already installed - at least according to the settings menu, where this information is shown:
Model number: HTC Magic
Firmware version: 1.5
Kernel version: 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf [email protected] #72
Build number: CRB17
Accordingly, I have three questions:
The phone says that the update as already been downloaded (most likely in the background), but not yet installed. Is it possible, using a terminal program/shell-prompt, to browse the phone's filesystem and check the filename of the update before you install it on an un-rooted phone? If so, where do I look for the update package?
Why does the phone want to install an Android 1.5-update? According to the phone Android 1.5 is already installed?
Can someone please tell me what the 4.2 MB update does? I have been googling for Android OTA Update "4.2 MB", but it seems that nothing is known about this update anywhere (there are, however, other updates within the 4 MB-range but none of them are precisely 4.2 MB in size).
I'd very much appreciate any help to sort this out (moderators, I hope I havn't created this thread in the wrong subforum; if I have, I apologize).
1. Run ddms/logcat to see the URL of the update.
2. 1.5 is the OS version.
3. It's most probably a security patch (of 1.5).
Its CRC1 and already "leaked"

Thank you. I'll do it as soon as the phone is fully charged again (as the manual says the battery will perform at its best after completing a few full charge/recharge cycles, I don't want to disturb it - pseudo-science, I know ).
Is the ddms/logcat stored locally on the Magic/Sapphire by default, or is it just part of the SDK-package?

Woah, one step at a time mister . I'm a total Android-newbie (although trying to catch up browsing various forums).
What is "CRC1"?
Will installing this patch prevent me to root the phone at some later stage?
Is there a proper changelog available somewhere?

It's security updates. I'd recommend getting the update from here (xda) rather than attempting to install it from the carrier.
I purchased my tablet from US and I live in india. Only one time i was able to update when i run it first time, after than never got any message for update of Android Version.
When i go to Settings>About Tablet and click on System Update and check for new version it's gives me message "Your device is up to date" and when i see the version details than these are
Model Number : A500
Android Version : 3.0.1
Kernel Version : 2.6.36-00017-gc98d63f
Build Number : Acer_A500_1.016.01_COM_GEN1
Update is not available for india yet or where i am wrong please help.
Not sure if your locale has anything to do with getting updates. That's typically an issue with 3G providers, but as long as your tablet is an A500 (wifi only version) it should find the OTA updates no problem, that it unless you are running a custom ROM. Either way, you can manually update your tablet. All the information you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
If you currently have a custom ROM or rooted your stock ROM, you will lose root by updating to a newer stock ROM, and the only way to recover root is by reverting back to Android 3.0. There are several custom ROM's based on 3.2 which already have root, if you also choose to go that route. If you have no idea what I mean when I mention root, just don't worry about it and carry on with that link I posted
Thanks Bloodflame, Yes i read that it can not be rooted and thank you for the link to get it update manually but i don't understand why i am not able to get updates.
And whether it is good to update with 3.0.2 ? Please suggest.

can't explain why you're unable to OTA update, but the security and performance improvements along with new features (ie, native mouse support) should make a manual 3.2 update worthwhile
Ok Thanks, I will update to 3.2 and let me see what magic it does.
Just updated completed the OTA upgrade to Ver. 4.0.3.
However, what's official Build Number supposed to be ? Mine currently reads: Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1. I see the COM_GEN1 has changed. There's no reference to that.
So far everything has worked perfectly. No accelerometer or wifi issues. Not rooted.

i think i have the same thing
I'm trying to understand what was deployed,
i can compare radio kernel and so on numbers, but this update did not enjoy a useful bundle description (was mainly "we usually deploy bug fixes ...".)
this update was done on the device, version is listed as 5.0 (already had loli + this is the second update)
Hey all sorry to bother you but I can't install the update for my OPPO F1s. System Update states it is the latest version although it isn't, when I press the "Features" button it says "No Version Info"
When I try to manually update through recovery it states the same thing. I haven't updated the phone before as it's never asked even though I bought it the week the OPPO F1s was released in Australia. As far as I can tell it (With my extremely limited knowledge) it seems as though I don't have an official stock rom on my phone although I've never tampered with it.
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated as although not urgent it does worry me as I realised I may have bought a phone with some kinda of virus on it without realising and I've used it for a couple of years.
#UPDATE#
Turns out the firmware is oddly labelled but I figured out that the phone had been updated with stock 6.0 rom and the 5.1 rom has been updated since but the 6.0 was considered beta, hence so feature info.
Tracked down the latest 6.0 update I could find and installed it and BAM phone is back to normal with the plus-side of having a clean install. Sorry to bother you all with this.
Which firmware you have installed?
A1601EX_11.A.37_20190227 is it this?
Oppo Customer Care (India) advised users of F1s that no OTA update for 6.0 would be pushed and anyone wishing to update will have to go to service centre. Did that and it seems they too have installed the beta 6.0 ROM which says no version info. Version number : A1601EX_11_D.102_170923 (Security Patch June 2017)
Apparently the stable 6.0 update available for Indian users is version : A1601EX_11.A.37_20190227. But I am not sure whether it will update through recovery. Will try and let you know
i know two years have passed but im facing the same problem and i cant find the latest update of 6.0, can you link me there?pls
