I know this is a pretty lame question but give me a break I have been unable to use the internet for about 2 1/2 months. I have a tf with the last update occuring in may. Again I have been away from the net for a while and I have no way of updating OTA. My question is with all the updates that have occurred since I last updated if I am able to get the latest update mailed to me via flash drive will I still get the improvements from previous updates? Also do I need to update my 3.1 to the newest 3.1 update before improving to 3.2 or can I go straight from old 3.1 to 3.2? Sorry for asking a lame question but I don't know who else to ask. Thanks
Well I was able to get my hands on a sat phone over here in Afghan and gave Asus a call. They were able to answer my question so thanks anyway. I knew it wasn't the best question but I had limited resources to get the answer.

Hi. I'm new to this section of XDA but not to the site (as you can see by my join date and post count).
I apologize if this has been asked. I searched a few hours ago and didn't notice anything, and right now search isn't available on the site. I've also been up since 7am with my 5 year old, so please forgive me.
I would like to know if provisioning the phone for the Mango beta update rebrands the device or does anything that would prevent it from getting official updates EVEN IF the device is restored/downgraded back to NoDo from backup.
I'm thinking about when there was an Eclair leak for the Droid Eris a couple of years ago. Everyone flashed it and then later found out that they couldn't get the official update OR downgrade because of it.
It's not the end of the world, but I want to install this beta update without screwing myself out of getting official updates. Even though I enjoy experimenting with smartphones and installing custom software, the convenience of stable, official updates is something I missed while using Android devices for about two years.
Also, has anyone actually tested to make sure that restoring their NoDo backup actually works?
This is my first post. OK I have the GB 2.3.3 update I did it through the LG updater the day it came out. The whole process went smoothly with no problems. But I heard that 2.3.3 is just a beta and that 2.3.4 will be the final and I think that they said it is going to be over the air so my question is will I get the OTA update and what should I expect? Do I have to keep checking myself through the check update in options or will it just be forced to my phone when it is time? Or Should I keep checking the LG updater to see if they have it?
I'm sorry for all the Noob questions but I this is only my second smartphone my first android and I have never received an OTA update. I heard that the stock camera only is capable of 720p there is no way that they are going to leave it that way. One of the features of the phone was the ability to shoot in full 1080p so I would assume that .4 will contain a really good camera app.
Lastly I have to say that I love this phone I have not had the troubles that others have had and that's not to say the problems don't exist I just didn't have them. there have been a few issues here and there but certainly nothing major and you gotta remember this is a small computer and I have been around computers all my life and have never seen one that didn't have its share of bugs and problems. It is just the nature of the beast and a smartphone is no different. But I guess I don't have to tell you guys that I really like what is done over here at xda keep up the good work boys.
Thanks,
Charlie
Getting the GB 2.3.3 update through LG update shouldn't preclude you from getting a future 2.3.4 update (if at all) from either LG or Tmobile OTA.
Thanks thats a good thing. So ny next question would be is the OTA update that they are rolling out 2.3.4? or is it the same thing that I got 2.3.3. Also will my phone just let me know when it is ready and say something like ota update is ready for your device and give me a option to continue? What is the process. Thanks for your help ahead of time.
Anyone knows anything about when ASUS is planning to release an update for tf300 with 3G module? More than a week has passed since tf300 update, this suspense is kinda boring and unfun for me
Hey man, you and me in the same boat here....not so cool waiting for better days
I suppose they are working on it, must be a good thing as they probably seen what need to be fixed in the wifi release since release and working on the rom to make it better....probably, not sure.
I am just hoping soon!!!!
No response from Asus
Well, we're on the niche market that's why we will always be the last one to receive it(they will always give priority to the wifi-only version).

Hi,
Its finally here last night, could someone please shed some light on doing the manual update as I have an unlocked bootloader?
you can download the update at the asus website, just need help installing it....is it same as the tf300 and need to install the 4.0.3 first and then do all that stuff before I can flash the 4.1?
Thank you...sorry for posting in a few places....just want it on the tab now
EDIT: I am now on JB, thank you
Hi folks,
My Shield 32 GB just arrived and is charged up. I've signed on with a google account and done nothing else.
I will eventually root it but want to put it through its paces for a month or so first.
It arrived with KK 4.4.2 (wow! so old!) on it. It offers an OTA update from October 2014. Says it is OTA 1.21. I've seen LOTS of other OTA numbers much later around these forums. Do I have to take the 1.21 OTA before I can get to the more recent ones?
And, by taking the OTA, am I doing anything irreversible that I probably shouldn't do, since I'm eventually a rooting and maybe ROMing kind of guy?
Thanks. I've read up and it looks like I probably want to go all the way to the 5.1 release, once they sort out the speaker-killing bug. But for the moment I'd like to make sure I'm not missing anything before taking the OTA.
Thanks!

I decided to download the update after I successfully activated the device on AT&T's cellular network.
That was a bit of a hassle... couldn't do it from the device (the ATT app said something about incompatibility with the SIM card), the PC online web registration wouldn't accept it because NVidia Shield wasn't listed in the device types, and it took the efforts of 3 ATT folks to get me activated. First one passed me to the second one when he found out it was a device not purchased from ATT (but... dude... here's the SIM and IMEI number that's all you need...), the second one set me up and told me to call another number to accept terms and conditions. Did that, still no joy, found the default APN isn't set up right. Fixed that, still no joy, eventually talked to person 3 that found out they didn't attach a data plan to the device when they set it up... as part of my family shared data account. Duh.
Anyway, I applied the 1.21 and then it prompted me to download the 2.1 update to Android 5.01. It has downloaded. I think I want to copy it over to my PC before I let it apply.
Marc
Hmmm. Poked around and found the 1.21 update but not the 2.1 full LTE OTA. Perhaps I'd need root to get at the files. Oh well. I can always download it if I need it. Applying the 2.1 update now.
And I've made it all the way to the 2.2.1 hotfix. Seems stable enough for the moment.
I understand OTA 3.0 got pulled; so I guess I'll be staying on Lollipop 5.01 until they release the fix.
It's a bit surprising that I had to do all the updates sequentially and that there wasn't any direct-to-the-latest. But it didn't take long. I wonder if all these OTAs are clogging up my memory somewhere?
OK, on to exploration!
Marc
the update got pulled indeed, caused all kind of problems, including blown speakers
nvidia employee told us on nvidia forum they would release a new OTA 3.1, targeted end of june
lastest news: it's now targeted end of july....
Pretty much what the title says...
I have a Shield Tablet and I tried the system update, and it won't let me get 6.0... it says I have the latest update which is at 5.1.1 anyone know what can this be and how I can get aorund it?
and lastly, I put in a request for the 6.0.1 with vulkan, but I'm curious why I can't get 6.0... is this a known problem?

Is your device rooted and whatnot? If so sometimes the update feature is affected and you might have to remedy that first. If not, it could be a roll out time line situation serial number order type of thing. I don't own this device yet personally but tomorrow when mine shows up I'll make sure and see if I have an update available(Nj).
no, it's a stock device and I got a while back... Would be nice to push it to the device via adb maybe? and it's a great device. you'll love it. Price is great, build quality is decent and it's very powerful!
I have the LTE model in the US and no update for me either.. I am not sure why this one is taking so long after the WiFi version. Every other update was released at the same time..

Hard to answer without knowing what device you have but I am going to throw a guess and answer to go with it.
My guess, you have the US LTE version.
Answer: The US LTE ROM includes AT&T software and is also released via the AT&T network. NVIDIA had said the US LTE ROM takes several additional weeks from release for the Rest of The World version to become available when 4.0 was originally announced. That clock was most likely reset when the first 4.0 version was pulled and a new version (thus restarting the clock) was released on the 18th.
As promised when it arrived I checked for the update and sure enough it was there. I do hope we can help figure out what your issue is.
