[Q] OTA Update for Glacier

Has anyone snagged the link to get the OTA manually ? I just got my device yesterday and it has not come over air at all. I was told wifi has to be off and it can take up to 48 hours to arrive after first phone call is made from unit. Bueller?

call t-mobile and verify that they have the correct imei number for your phone.

This should be in the Q/A forum really, but if you run through these instructions it will help you force the update and root a phone that was updated this way...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843428
The instructions are more intended for people who downgraded from the update already, but should work fine on a fresh phone...

Please post questions in the Q&A section. Thanks

Sorry
I have the issue solved. I didnt understand since the rooting process is convoluted with the 4g. I have s=off now.

Which OTA are you after - the 1st or the 2nd ?
Still trying to find out about the latter (the first one has been well covered).

My understanding was one OTA that updates to 1.17.531.2 and Android 2.2.1...is there another one?

There seems to be only one OTA so far.

[Q] Update Unbranded Legend to 2.2?

Hi,
I have an unbranded, unlocked Legend with a Vodafone SIM. The FOTA check says (not unsurprisingly) that no update is available.
I have downloaded via PC the Vodafone 2.2 zip file from HTC but would like advice/guidance on how to update my Legend with the contents.
Yes I know I could wait for the update being issued by HTC but the idea of waiting possibly until the end of the year is a real downer - so I would prefer to update now.
Grateful for any advice
Thank you
Giles

I'm pretty you still have to root the phone first before it will accept any other ROMs

Seriously? For like 2 days now, the hole dev section is about 'how to update unbranded phones'.
Just learn to read and don't ask unnecessary questions... thank you.

Maybe a sticky is in order...

There is a sticky. Its the very first post. Everything is in there.

Yes, we can all meet in Malaysia. Lolz.

HTC One updated to Android 4.2.2 'Jelly Bean'

is it true?
http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/smartphones/1300144/htc-one-updated-to-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean

Yes, apparently a few people have started receiving the OTA update although I think it is only for region 401 (WWE Europe) for now and even then only in limited numbers. There are also some custom roms in the dev section which have used a leaked final version of the 4.2.2 rom

Has anyone here received the OTA update yet?

Nothing ... CID 032 , unbranded !

How do you found the CID number? I'm all stock..

HTC__Y13 = HTC-Nor, which falls under the WWE Europe x.xx.401.xx rom version
Check here for list on most cid's and their corresponding provider/locations

Do HTC Elevate members still get updates pushed sooner or is that no longer the case ? ? Anybody know what the story is there ? ? Thanks.

Believe me you are probably much better off having an HTC__Y13 than HTC__F08 (HTC Denmark) as your chances or getting updates sooner are much better being linked to the WWE Europe version.

What about the j15 version ? It gets the update months after the wwe version right ?

You can always unlock your bootloader and flash a custom rom or use Mike1986's stock rom options.

Good to know that it's happening on the LG homeland, officially. For other LG products like their phones, anyone know what the usual lag time there is between release in Korea and North America?

No, devices with custom recovery can not get OTA updates. You will have to restore to the stock recovery or wait for flashable ZIP version of the update.

I've installed the pre rooted kk version yesterday.But I think I'll go back to linaro cm11. LGs ok seems not fully allowing immersive mode. What I'd love to keep around would be the keyboard and the lock screen. I just love how the lock screen wallpaper reveals the home screen around the finger where the screen is touched. Other than that I think I liked cm11 better. I just have to pass on ART in favor of exposed. Xposed just brings so many options. Btw some Xposed modules just don't work as expected on stock.

It was posted in XDA before. Link.

Technically its not, because we are reporting official update being rolled out in Korea in the General section and not a download link to the actual firmware, plus I didnt get that link when I searched the other day.. anyways .. if you feel that disturbed by my post .. I'm requesting to any admin/mod to remove it!

How does my giving a link get interpreted as being disturbed? Someone accused you of having gleaned it from XDA, and instead of simply saying they were mistaken, you quoted the timestamp as proof. The link I gave clearly says it was taken from the official LG servers, and beyond the dozen posts that preceded your thread, I personally posted I had installed and tested it, and deleted it, all before your thread. That does not mean you got the information from XDA, but it was definitely already being discussed and tested before you posted it, that's all.

Does anyone know if it solves the 7 edge led lighting problem?

Marshmallow Waiting Room

Since we need thread about latest development of Marshmallow update for S6 and S6 Edge, and last one got closed... please keep this one by the rules.
By checking 20min ago with SamFirm for DTM CSC i got info that 6.0.1 is up, but when i clicked to download it turned back to...
"Checking firmware for SM-G920F/DTM/G920FXXU3DPAD/G920FDDX3DPAF/G920FXXU3DPAJ
Error: Could not send BinaryInform. Status code 200/400
Request was invalid. Are you sure the input data is correct?"
and 5.1.1 again. Looks like they are getting it ready.
.

Hope this thread could be kept clean.. Also the other user claims that he checked the samfirm for PHN and got this for s6 edge;
Checking firmware for SM-G925F/PHN/G925FXXU3DPAD/G925FDDX3DPAF/G925FXXU3DPAJ
Model: SM-G925F
Version: G925FXXU3DPAD/G925FDDX3DPAF/G925FXXU3DPAJ
OS: MarshMallow(Android 6.0.1)
According to him, update dissappeared suddenly.

That DTM error has been there since last week, it's not new

I saw the same but for G920F and DTM.

Germany has been a lot of time the first European country to get Samsung updates, so that could be the case again.

Nevermind, thanks @thegtfusion for clarification

None-the-less, this one's a duplicate.
Stop branching MM discussions; it's confusing as it is. We don't need another MM thread speculating its release date.

This one is simply to tell people when MM drops, nothing else. The thread you've linked to is a general Marshmallow thread in which people discuss everything under the sun. Why should you worry if there are two distinct threads?

Directly replying to your concerns, there's a thread already opened specifically for MM release. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/official-marshmallow-released-t3315637
