[Q] Receiving multiple OTA updates even after successfully updating to Android 4.3

Hi all,
After searching for answers to this issue not only in this forum but elsewhere on the web, and failing to find any reference to it, I decided to create this thread.
I have a non-rooted Nexus 7 (2012), which received an OTA update to Android 4.3 some three weeks ago. I have successfully completed the updated, after which my device's build number became JWR66V. So far, so good. :good:
But, days later, my device displayed a new notification that a "System update [was] downloaded". I thought it could be a new, different update addressing bugs, so I "touch[ed] to install". Again, everything went smoothly. I checked however the build number and it was still JWR66V.
Days later, new notification: "System update downloaded". I installed it to get rid of the notification.
And again and again for the fifth time now. It usually happens after I reboot.
I wonder whether anyone is experience similar issue - and whether this is an issue at all.
Any help or information is highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Is your kernel 3.1.10-g1e8b3d8? Maybe there is some sort of mismatch.

Thanks for the reply, Groid, but this doesn't seem to be the issue.
As you can see from the two screenshots attached - one taken before I 'updated' (note the "System updated downloaded" icon on the top left corner) and the second after the 'update' - there is no difference between kernel and build number versions. In fact, I believe nothing happens whenever I 'touch to update' (i.e. install the 'new' update)...
I find this strange, even more so as I haven't read about other persons experiencing the same... it does not cause me trouble, but it's annoying and curious, therefore, any feedback is still welcomed.

Having the same problem on my n7, am rooted, but have a question: if I install this update will i lose root? Should i install ota rootkeeper?

I too have just noticed the update icon as of today's date, despite having successfully updated my tablet at the beginning of the month.
Unlike the OP my tablet was rooted and unlocked so I had to use the instructions in this thread

The update was successful and has been running perfectly.

I'm having the problem on my N7 as well. Haven't found a solution yet. I'm gonna try searching more

maybe just re-flash it with 4.3 rom (using pc), and it should be ok

Sorry to hear you guys are experiencing same issue, but at least I'm not alone.
I'm still facing same issue. The New update icon shows up whenever I restart my n7. And it has successfully updated all the times. It's more annoying than anything, but, still, shouldn't be happening.

did you originally install 4.3 from the OTA?
i went from 4.2.2 to 4.3 via fastboot, and then received this update via OTA. and this hasn't happened to me. (yet, but hopefully not at all)

To remove the notification, long press the message in the notification dropdown, press the app info popup, and uncheck the show notifications box. This worked for me.

Installed
I installed it, nothing changed and i kept root.

That's because the latest 4.3 build is JWR66Y (the screenshots show JWR66V) which is a small update incorporating some critical security fixes. So that's probably why it's still prompting for an update.

Just installed 4.3 update on the wife's N7 again and noticed there is no sound with media.
Notification and alarm sounds work as does media with headphones. Just no speaker with media.

Please see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413535&page=10
I've got the same problem and that's how I got rid of it. Essentially, for one reason or another, the new update V->Y build fails.

UPDATE: Axon 7 A2017U Build 27

According to this post on the ZTE forums, the OTA should be available in 24-72 hours for the US variant.

I thought they said they would be releasing the stock images along with the OTA though? Or did I misunderstand something. . .

Well it's not obviously stated in the changelog, but it may be one of the "minor enhancements" in #7, although I doubt it. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

"adb logcat" on a computer while checking for the update on the phone. It will always list the update URL. It's a pretty big patch -- 376 MB. Boot and recovery are modified but no separate fastboot. So either that's been added into the normal partition commands, or it's still going to be an OTA to enable bootloader unlocking.

Can't wait to hear from the brave souls who update first have to say. I'm goign to keep my root/twrp for now

"B27" Downloaded and installed. Not all of what everyone/most where asking for, but substantial enough to make a believer out of me. Security patch level at September 1, 'Backup account' no longer greyed out, tweeked signal strength indicator, audio no longer drops out when starting camera and probably a host of other tweeks under the hood.

No announcement about stock images, not good.

I have OTA

Strangely enough, I have dropbox installed after the update.
Unless I butt installed it just before (I do not use dropbox).

I'm fairly sure that the last update for the EU model installed an app as well (though not Dropbox).

How do we make a twrp flashbacks zip out of this that won't take away twrp?

Anyone that rooted without unlocking the bootloader tried this update?

Just updated and step count showed up.

I'm currently on stock B20, locked and unrooted.
I posted the same in @DrakenFX's thread, but I'm happy to try out whatever folks think would be best:
1.) Unlock via the thread instructions and then update to B27
2.) Update to B27, then try to unlock via the thread instructions
3.) Other?

Software update notification just received

Just got a software update notification on my G5. I don't see any version number or details, anyone else get the notification?

I just got it, did the update, and was wondering the same. I was hoping to get a surprise android 7 update. I guess it would be too much to ask for LG or any manufacturer to release an update with an android version released 6 months ago.
The one good thing I can say about apple. When they release an update it gets pushed out. They dont let the manufacture and then the carrier finger f#%^ it for a year before making it available.

AT&T update also
I also just got the update, in fact it's still installing ... Phone nows says Android Version 6.0.1, Kernel 3.18.20, Build MMB29M Software version H82011n ... no idea yet what is different

I just got the notification. I'm not installing it as long as the phone doesn't forcefeed it, that last H82011K buggered my phone pretty bad and it gives me flashbacks of bootloops and factory resets now when an update pops up.

It will force it, I had a notification that I couldn't get rid of. And since the hopes of getting root are very low I decided to just go with it.

AT&T has finally started rolling out the long-awaited Android 7.0 Nougat update to its variant of the LG G5.
---------- Post added at 03:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 AM ----------
Currently downloading the update now.

Yep just got the update on my phone.

It has been a week and have gotten the notification twice and been unable to download it on the Wi-Fi network I was on. Now I don't get it at home and even when I set the clock ahead it says android is up to date. What gives?

It's only too bad Nougat is so greedy for battery. Look at that - 37 minutes screen on and I'm down to 48% left. Awful.
Not worth the upgrade IMO.

1.) Return to the USA, power down your phone and insert your active AT&T Sim card.
2.) Power your phone on and then go to settings>general>about phone>software update.
3.) Press "update now" and wait for update to finish.
Since you aren't yet on the H82011N firmware, you will have to repeat step 2-3 until you are on H82011N, before you can finally update to Nougat, which is H82020J.
:good:

Can anyone here provide an OTA file for the Nougat update?

I've been looking for a way to capture the actual file myself. Apparently it's impossible for the AT&T G5 because the bootloader is locked and no root is possible, which would be necessary to intercept and copy the actual OTA file.
These problems directly stem from the fact that AT&T will never release a KDZ or TOT for us because they're evil, and ultimately don't want their clients to gain root and potentially extend the life of their phone hardware via 3rd party Roms like CyanogenMod.

Since I am not a developer I am curious whether you can make anything that would for us with the nougat source code for the h820?

Does updating to this impact Adhell2 installs? Will it re-enable all of the bloat that I've disabled already?

I installed this update this morning and I received "Android. System. UI has stopped working" every time my phone tried to boot.
I thought that Substratum StatusBar Icons for Samsung was causing the issue. I was able to boot into safe mode one time and uninstalled Substratum StatusBar Icons, thinking that this would fix my boot issue. My issue was not fixed and I was not able to boot into Safe Mode again without receiving the "Android. System. UI has stopped working" error every time.
I installed Samsung Galaxy S8+US Unlocked Firmware XAA Version Live!!! (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s8+/how-to/galaxy-s8-xaa-version-live-t3613013) so that i can get my phone working again.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on re-installing the updated T-Mo firmware?

In case anyone was wondering, I just decided to test it myself. Before applying the update I re-enabled all of the packages because I read elsewhere that people had an issue if certain Samsung system apps were disabled. I did not uninstall AdHell2, just re-enabled all of the packages. The update went by without any problems and I then disabled all of the packages I want removed from the running system after the update.
The only thing I had to do to get back to my same modified config was re-run the ADB commands to restore the mobile data toggle.

Same Size update has been pushed on my A2 too. I'm from India.

Updating via OTA in Portugal. The update is 24,19 MB in size.

Somehow you were suggested to download full 11.0.11.0 OTA (it's size is 1.34Gb) instead of incremental 11.0.10.0 -> 11.0.11.0 OTA (24,19Mb).
While http://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1700353 still points to full 11.0.10.0 OTA .... probably some dummy instead of updating link in Community Web server accidentally updated link in OTA server ?

Hi all. I've recently updated my newly acquired A2 to Android 10 from Pie. I tether my phone for many hours per day but the phone's Data Usage measurement of Hotspot & tethering is only ~20MB when I know I've used a few GB for the same date period. I don't know if this is a problem introduced in Android 10 or a problem that was there with Pie, as I've only recently started to use the phone. Does anyone else have this problem or know what's going on? thanks

Android 10 version of Mi A2 still has all bugs from January it was realeazed, they don't fix anything. The only thing that maybe they have fixed is the performance. So I guess another bug.

Yes. It's such a shame - it's a well made and good value phone, but these small bugs make it annoying to use. Going custom is probably the best solution, but I don't think I'm ready for that jump yet. The choice of budget to mid range phones has increased a lot in the last couple of years, and Xiaomi no longer have the market to themselves, so it's their loss.

Does anybody have patched boot image?

There in information about call recording added in this update for MI A2. True?

@jorikello, I've applied the June update but there is no recording option when I make a call. Perhaps it's region specific because of local laws on recording - I am in the UK.

Somebody to report call recording availability after June update? I have not this option unfortunately... For me it's important functionality update.
