Usually when I've tried to update it would automatically say latest version etc. Now its saying checking on software update for about a minute then software update connection failed.I turned off my wi fi, and it still happens.any suggestions? Thanks
Also I'm running stock & not rooted.
i dunno I had the same issue. it would seem that the OTA is pushed out like in batches or something for it to say latest version and/or connection failed. Personally I got tired of waiting and just flashed the OTA gb rom in the dev section. Sure i dont have the new baseband but i honestly dont care lol.
Thank you uploader very much.
This was happening to me as well..called T-Mobile they tried pushing the update through but didn't work so I got a new phone sent out and the update went smooth after that...I just wanted the new baseband and now am running miui alpha 2 and couldn't be happier!

They stopped sending out the updates. Call T-Mobile and ask them if you don't believe me.
Got my replacement G2X last night and it came with 2.2.2, checked for updates and it said i was up to day. Checked the LG updater, same as well. So, I just did the KDZ method and it worked.
Hi,
I currently have a Xoom with stock rooted 3.2 but my Xoom keeps telling me there's an update so when I try do it, it just takes me straight to recovery. How do I get it so it doesn't? I wanna be ready for ICS without losing any data.
Thanks

If you are rooted, dont accept the OTA update. It can mess things up.
I bought a used Nexus S 4G from Sprint and I'm trying to activate it. Apparently the old user had rooted it and it can't be activated while rooted. So I UNrooted it back to stock and they still can't seem to figure out how to activate it. What are we missing?
Did you flash it back to stock un rooted gingerbread? If not do that. Then report back.

Did you re-lock the bootloader, and go completely stock? or just flash a stock rom?
You can try this, im pretty sure it locks the bootloader and goes completely stock as if it were out of the box.

i bought a rooted CWM 4G with some GB mod on it
i put a ICS rom on it just to figure it out
after a couple of days i couldnt stand it
[was still waiting on the OTA for my original 4G]
i went on line and activated it on my account
by entering the esn without issue...
your problem is not 'cause it's rooted
radio?
mismatched rom maybe?
i'd look elswhere
I am assuming there is not a line of service still attached to it?
If not try to swap the esn online as the previous poster suggested. When I bought mine used I tried to do it online and it said it worked but it did not complete the activation. I had to call Sprint and they walked me though a factory reset. Worked like a charm.
Hi,
i have a used mytouch 4g which i rooted, s-off and gfree for my mom. she does not need data. i was able to pop in her att sim card and i had to manually select AT&T as a registered carrier. but every now and then, it would unregister itself and i would have to manually go into settings and select at&t again. i did this for my friend awhile back and it was fine for her. the only thing different is the rom. she was using CM7 and my mom is using slim bean 4.2.2. could it be the rom or did i mess something up while unlocking the phone? the phone had 2.3.4, and i had to downgrade before i can s-off and run gfree. though it looks like everything completed sucessfully, her phone keeps getting unregistered.
Try a different rom. I would recommend the last cyanogen nightly; or someone else had compiled a newer version of it.
If not try Stepps AOSPx; its a stable ICS.
Definitely ROM issue as I gave my glacier to a friend who has att and its on the double shot ROM with no problems

I have looked through quite a few threads, and followed a plethora of instructions, so If I have missed something I apologize.
I originally had the MZ600 without the 4G upgrade, and decided to give that to my little brother and purchase one that had the 4G radio.
So now I have an MZ600 with the 4G radio upgrade, activated on verizon. before I tried any flashing, I had 4G. I didn't want to do the bigPart upgrade yet, so I flashed the 196 version of EOS4 for stingray (not stingray cdma) and upon boot up, i could get 3g but not 4G. It showed the baseband as CDMA only with no LTE.
I flashed back to stock Honeycomb, and after the OTA update of the radios, i had 4G again. followed the OTA's all the way to 4.1.2. still maintained 4G.
After that, i decided to do the bigPart, which after some finagling I managed to get it partitioned, and installed OmniROM 4.4 stingray (not stingray cdma)
Upon boot, I had no 4g again, and could not even get 3g data at all. so i repartitioned back to stock, and reflashed honeycomb. got 4G again.
So my question is how the heck do I get a new ROM on this thing, when every time i flash one, I lose the 4G radio baseband?
Did you ever get an answer to this? I am in the exact same boat. Same story except I performed the LTE upgrade myself. Works flawlessly on Stock 4.1.2, but I have not found a single non-stock ROM with which I can use the mobile data.
Bump!!

I had the same problem, until I called into customer service and had them totally delete my tablet off of the account. After that I had them reactivate it using the (here's the catch) IMEI, same sim.Hope this helps.

My tablet is already activated using the IMEI and has 4G data. but I am still running stock. I may attempt flashing cyanogenmod at some point to see. but for the time being I have simply dealt with the stock rom. Rooted of course lol.
Here's the Answer!!!

Long story short, the problem is that final OTA update. You HAVE to stop installing OTA updates at IMM76L. DO NOT install JZO45M. As near as I can tell, it installs some sort of radio update that is not compatible with most if not all non-stock ROMs.
If you do let that final update install, you have to take the device all the way back to stock honeycomb and start over. See the above thread for precise details.

That's my thread, and what Taylor says is spot on. All of these custom ROMs are built using proprietary files from ICS and the JB update screws everything up. It's a laborious process to get 4G working, but it's worth it.

4G LTE XOOM Update owners attempting to BigPart:

Check the Final Update......you MUST stop at IMM76L......Activate your SIM after every patch update to be sure. If you don't have your 4G back by IMM76L you have to wipe and restart the process. The LTE Baseband files are not being flashed to the radio properly.

YOUR pain? You have no idea how many hours I put into trying to figure out why data wouldn't work and then going through all the possible steps to make it work again, AND THEN writing everything up.
