The other day, my phone prompted me that an Android system update was available, to update to 2.29. That number is scarily close to 2.3 so I'm presuming this is Gingerbread?
Anyhow, the problem is, it can be downloaded but I can't seem to install it. The first step of the install process is that the phone restarts. The problem then is that it boots back into Windows, and once you've reloaded Android it's forgotten what the bell it was doing and tells you the update is ready to install.
I figured there may be problems like this, since the phone isn't running Android as it's primary OS. Does anyone have a solution to this, or is it just a case of waiting til someone releases a working version of Gingerbread and then replacing the Froyo I'm currently using?
First of all, 2.29 isn't Gingerbread. Secondly, it won't work because it's for the device that your Android build is emulating, not a HD2. Just forget about it. Your only updates will come from here.
So yeah, you pretty much said that yourself

Dolphin upgraded the other day and the latest version is a disaster... Read what to do here:

The play store still has 10.3.1 for me last updated 4/15

I didn't get the update but side loaded the apk on my mobile. I feel the same. Downgraded and disabled auto update in google play
After updating to the latest version of the companion app (Version 2.0.0.137106828.gms), I've noticed that it can take upwards of 30 seconds to receive any notifications to my Moto 360 2nd Gen. I've tried clearing cache and data, uninstalling the companion app and reinstalling, restarting my phone and watch, resetting and pairing my watch again, and checking for watch updates all with no success. I ended up reverting to the previous version of Android Wear (Version 1.5.0.3329214.gms) and all of my problems have been solved.
When this has happened before, it was because a software update needed to come through to my watch. We know that 2.0 isn't set to launch until 2017, and I'm not willing to deal with this issue until then. I've attached a link to Android Wear Version 1.5.0.3329214.gms for those who share my problem.

Has anyone tried the latest version (2.0.0.138705214)? I'm still sticking with my older version until I can verify that the bugs have been worked out. Comments in the Play Store are still giving mixed reviews of the latest version. I rely more on the good people of XDA and their opinions.
i have reinstalled brand new rom to my phone resurrection remix for oneplus 3. after reinstall my aps Android Wear is not working. with notice: this phone has been flashed with an unsupported configuration for companion. You must reflash it as signed user or unsigned/userdebug. What does it mean,? please help, i´m newbie. thank you. and yes, its a 2,0xxxx version
From everything I've read, the only fix is to go back to the Android Wear version I posted a link to. There doesn't seem to be an actual fix yet.

You can change the buildprop from debuguser to user, if you want to continue using 2.0
If your phone is not rooted, the only possibility for now is to install the version 1.5 - you can find more information in this Google Group
I've been reading reviews on the Play Store of people having issues with WiFi Scanning turning on and off every 2-3 seconds. I'm having the same issue, but I attributed it to a software update I received for my S7. As previously mentioned, I rolled back to the 1.5.xxxxx update of Android Wear, so I can't imagine that would be the cause of my problem. I can't imagine it's just a coincidence though. Any one have any feedback on this?
I spent a good few years rooting my Android phones, installing ROMs, etc. Quite a while ago I stopped, due to being pretty happy with the performance of this phone, and lack of time/interest in doing it any more. Consquently my phone is running 7.1.1 and ony has a security patch date of September 2017
I realise this is not a good state of affairs. I'm not a coder or anything like that, and I've forgotten most of what I learned about the specifics of this phone a long time ago. If I want to install a new ROM, it's going to mean a lot of reading to bring myself back up to date.
So, aside from my dire security situation, is there actually anything that is going to make my life better by installing an Android 9 or 10 ROM, over and above 7.1.1? Or is it just window-dressing? I'm looking to keep this phone for a while longer yet, and have just ordered a new battery for it, so I thought a software refresh might also be nice. I just wondered whether anyone wanted to offer an opinion on whether it's worthwhile, given it will involve a lot of work for me since I'm so rusty!
Why not just upgrade to stock pie and wait for the Android 10 update coming next year. You don't need to root to get more up to date software.
I've decided it's not worth rooting anymore because I want working Google pay, no bugs, etc. There isn't really anything I need root for and the stock oxygen os is perfect in my opinion.

Just re-read my initial post and I wasn't clear. My phone is rooted/ROMd already. This is why I'm so far behind with software updates, because I got sick of flashing updates all the time. I have a couple of apps that require root, such as an ad-free Youtube with background play (which I'd really like to keep), and Titanium Backup. Aside from those, my phone doesn't really need to be rooted I guess.
I pay a monthly fee to have those features on YouTube. I couldn't go without background play anymore. I would almost root just for that.
As far as if it's worth it, security updates are probably a good idea. I don't recall any major things that Android 9 has that 7.1.1 didn't when I first got the phone a couple of years ago.
I have my banking info to worry about though so I stay stock and keep updated (over the air updates the easy way).
setspeed, I don't know what ROM you are rocking there but for me, on official, pure Oxygen OS I don't find it at all hard to update:
- I download the ROM, Magisk uninstaller, latest Magisk, latest TWRP (I noticed that some blu spark version works best with decryption).
- boot into TWRP
- flash ROM, magisk uninstaller, Makist, TWRP
- boot into sys and re-download whatever Magisk modules I had installed
OxygenOS is only updated every month or so, this procedure takes 10 - 20 minutes at most, so this is not really too much for me to do.
I cannot pin point you the exact big improvements being introduced since 7.1.1, but you can trace the important ones on Wikipedia.
On another note, not having security updates since September 2017 is like walking in front of the shooting range and expecting not to get shot.

Man, i'm basically in the same situation and i make a post just today for the same reason. I want to update and unroot. What can i do? i'm at oreo 8.1.0 and os 5.1.1. Maybe is better first lock the bootloader and then make the OTA? but even if all go smooth which i doubt, how can i restore my backup without titanium without the root? is a f...ing mess
Just dirty flash the latest Oxygen OS (full zip). Then wipe the cache and you should be good to go. That's basically what I've been doing for quite some time with every update (plus Magisk).

that's probably the worst suggestion i've ever heard. You suggest to dirty flash from nougat/oreo to pie and do it straigh away...maybe even with a twrp 2 years old. Sounds good man..then i good to go..to a store and buy a new phone
Do you recommend updating to the Android 10 version or not?
Would there be any problems updating if I decide to root?
Is there a way to delete the downloaded update not having installed yet? Since I always see the notification to update
Thanks
Only problem I noticed is with samsung browser. Video stream preview is a garbage but I use google chrome anyway so its good
