Just wondered if there was a way in which I could force an update? I've had to revert back to stock firmware and am currently on 2.3.1. Ive tried the CHECKIN method but nothing happened. Any suggestions guys?
you can manually push the update through recovery located here:

Nope..
Do look for the thread titled '2.3.3 link' though. It's rather easy to apply it manually.

Thanks guys
I have done that method before but I think it screwed up my mms hence I would rather receive it OTA just incase. Are they still pushing out the 2.3.2 update for us that are yet to receive 2.3.3?

Probably not. They would probably send you the version that goes from whatever you're on to 2.3.3 since the Android 2.3.3 URL thread has like three different versions.
The alternative is to flash a custom ROM such as CM7, Axura, GingerS, MoDaCo which features 2.3.3 (unsure about GingerS)
I still don't get the 2.3.3 OTA either. Since I had some problem when I was using N1 and tried to update it manually, I decide to wait for OTA in my NS. I am curious why it can take so long time to push out an OTA?
Two reasons: network strain and damage control in the event of Problems.
I'm waiting for the OTA to come through to my other halves new NS which we got yesterday to update from 2.3.1 to either 2.3.2 or better still 2.3.3 but, guess it ain't happening any time soon :-(

Force update in post #2 that I linked. This is the same file you would get from the OTA. All the OTA does is bring a dialog box saying its available for you and it goes to that link. The link was achieved using aLogCat. It's directly from *.google.com

how to force update
Picked up my NS on saturday (so it should be running 2.3.1 right?) Anyway when I go into settings-about phone-system update it says i have latest version. I am fairly confident this is not so. So how do I force update to my NS?

Search for the thread titled '2.3.3 link' and do it manually or wait until you get it pushed down to you. There it's no way to force it OTA (over-the-air)

Unless I'm mistaken, I think you just got pushed the HSUPA update. This part of the file name, "1_84_502_11", matches my firmware number after the HSUPA update. I don't know what number was on the firmware before the update, but my firmware is 1.84.502.11 after said update. From what I remember, the file name is exactly the one I got when I checked for it after the update was officially released last month.
EDIT: Unless of course, I'm wrong, and that's a totally new firmware update. Though I haven't seen any info on any new firmware updates for us since HSUPA.

I got the push on this via wifi yesterday afternoon also. I was assuming that this was the update that would enable installation of non market apps but I was wrong. Anyone have any additional information on this OTA update?
Personally, I do not think this is a recent update as I have been running custom roms since I bought the device but had to revert back to stock because of a warranty issue that will require me sending the device back. I think it is an update that was missed in the timeframe from February launch up until about 3 days ago.

I just referenced those numbers to mine and it IS the HSUPA update. It wasn't released till late April, so it hasn't been out that long. I just don't know if you should install it. If your sending it back, and since you reverted back to stock, maybe you should try installing it.

I was at wendys today, used their wifi to check for the update and sure enough it was this same one. D/l'ed it and installed. My speeds went from 200kb/s to 500kb/s. That was just one test though
I just hope this doesnt effect rooting it in the future as i plan to do so.
Just got the Inspire for my wife today. Saw this update as well. She doesn't want me to root or flash anything yet. Wondering if it's ok to run this update without it affecting the ability to root and flash anything later.
TIA

After a not-so-smooth attempt at rolling out Android 2.3 Gingerbread for T-Mobile G2X users, experience-breaking bugs ran rampant throughout users’ phones prompting T-Mobile and LG to suspend updates. It took quite a while for them to get things ironed out, actually, as I almost forgot that the T-Mobile G2x even exists. In any case, the Gingerbread rollout is back on for those who are sick of frozen treats. Alongside Gingerbread, you’re also apparently getting improved battery life for your troubles. Yay! Get to the link ahead for the full instructions from LG. [LG via Droid Dog]
As of December 5, T-Mobile will restart the rollout of the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Over-The-Air (OTA) update!
If you would like to update your software before receiving the OTA, please visit the LG website (link to: http://wwwstg.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/G2X-Driver/index.jsp) to update your device today.
The G2x Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) update includes the following benefits:
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) OS
Improved battery life
Improved front-facing camera operation when using Qik record and share
Improved disabling of Car Home
Helps address unexpected reboots

Just to recap. It is same update as before.

So what if I was on GB, I flashed back to froyo, then I tried to flash back to GB but I got "installation aborted" when I tried, then I saw this and I unrooted and flashed stock recovery and I go to update via LG update tool and its telling me Im already on v21e when im 100% positive Im not? What do I do now?
Hey my sis has the G2x and she had a lot of problems with it so she installed GB on it a few months ago but it still froze alot. I dunno if it was official or not. Is this new update the same update?
yes, it is the same update
So i received this OTA update but when i click on the notification to try to update it it takes me to the clockwork mod recovery screen idk if this is supposed to happen. i never received the update, until now, so i rooted it but i kept the stock rom 2.2 i was just wondering if i would be able to update my device with it being rooted or if it being rooted is a problem.? idk if this happened to anyone else but input and help would be greatly appreciated.

For those that are saying, "It's the same update".. how do you know there hasn't been any changes during a 5mo delay? I'm not saying it isn't the same update, but people just typing it on a computer screen doesn't make it true.

It doesnt make sence why would they just stop only to start the same garbage update again? They have to have fixed it some. Maybe it is still 2.3.3 but its gotta be different. I would have hoped that they would roll out the 2.3.4 that they used in italy for the o2x. At the very least they should have fixed the stupid camera. I could be wrong but it just doesnt make any sence to me

After all these months I expected a new update........
Hello, I am using Nexus S 2.3.6, from Malaysia.
A few of my Malaysian friends already receive Over The Air update of ICS from Google. However, although I do check for "Settings -> System updates" all the times, I always saw "Your system is currently up to date".
Is there any additional settings I need to do, in order to receive official update from Google? I prefer not to do it manually myself by downloading the ROM.
I believe that Google stop rolling out the ota.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I keep wondering when the ICS OTA update will be released. I'm using an i9020a on at&t and I'm still stuck on the 2.3.4 update. When I got to check for an update it says that the system is up to date, even though most people have 2.3.6 on their NS's.
It's probably quicker and less painful to just download and update to the latest ROM yourself, especially if you're starting to check for system updates on a daily or less-than-daily basis.

Might as well flash one of the many AOSP or CM9 ROMs posted out here to be honest. How fast is AT&T in approving ROM updates?
I'm pretty sure that's part of what's holding it up despite the Canadian 9020As out there...
I've flashed Kalimochoaz's CM9 alphas a few days ago and it works like a charm.

I don't know that it is at&t holding up the update, I think it's still on Google right now. I have considered flashing an ICS ROM on it, I just haven't had the time or motivation just yet.

I just checked through software update and it said that new update is available but download servers are busy. Once they are available your phone will automatically check for update again.

Thats what im thinking, and maybe now we can haz a la3 radio that doesnt drop data every 2 seconds
I just did a test, I'm on stock 2.3.6, baseband UCLA3, Kernel 2.6.35.11, and I'm getting a "Software is up to date". So I'm not sure what you are seeing. See if you can reach your local AT&T store and see what they say. Mine here seem to know what is going on (generally speaking) and have been right on when something is being pushed and such.
Just saying...
P.S. I've never had the issue with data dropping or anything like that and I've been on UCLA3 since the initial push OTA before being pulled.
I just tried it and I am on 2.3.5 and it said I was up to date. But I am also unrooted on a stock nandroid backup. My baseband is still the UCLA from 2.3.6

I had the same issue. Go to Wifi and update that way. You MAY have to kick the date on the phone forward a couple days, but that will trick the updating to run again (give that you can only update once every 24 hours or so). This is what happened with mine. I'd be on UCLA3 with 2.3.5 Android.
Just see how that goes by changing the date a couple days ahead and updating while connected to Wifi. This is the exact same process as the guys in my local store did when it was only partially updated. If that doesn't work, talk to a tech in the store (corporate store!!), they might have a trick or a way to do it over the computer.
Just my $0.02 from personal experience...
