[Q] Why I'm not getting the update? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
in November 2011 I bought my XOOM on Amazon.de .
The update to Version 3.2 worked fine und was quickly aviable.
But now I'm waiting on the 4.0 Update. I'm from Germany and everytime I hit the button search for updates, he says my tablet is up-to date.
All my friends can download the new firmware since 28.06.2012, I'm not able to do this.
My Build-Number is:
H.6.6-23
Firmware-Version:
GAS_EMEA_UCAHUBLWFRTCOREEU_PO14
Is there a false firmware on my tablet or something else?
Could any German user, which proceed the update successful, which Version he has. I'm pretty unsure about this.
I hope my english is understandable

Your written English is good.
I am not exactly sure if your rom has gotten the update yet, and it doesn't really answer your question..but you can flash stock US rom to get OTA, or flash a custom rom.

hi
i'm from germany and got the update on 28.06. (xoom wifi)
Build-Number: I.7.1-42
Firmware-Version: GAS_EMEA_USAHUBLWFRTDACH_P012
GAS_EMEA_USAHUBLWFRTDACH_A014
GAS_EMEA_USAHUBLWFRTDACH_M006
GAS_EMEA_UCAHUBLWFRTCOREEU_PO14

i don't know, but it seems like your region code is different (COREEU) to german (DACH).

I expected that. I think it's the UK-Firmware, which is installed. I will put the DACH-Firmware on. Thanks!

Milestone UK update via Motorola Software Update (2011-01-17)

Just wanted to let everybody know that Motorola Software Update informed about an update to my device Milestone UK. The file it is downloading is SHOLS_U2_02.36.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B806D.0R_PDS003_USASHLS00RTGB_P026_A019_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz

Could you please supply us with a link when its done downloading? (Should be in the download folder on sd card I think) This may be the official 2.2 update! (Also, would appreciate it if you could tell us what the update was for after you update successfully by checking settings>about phone and check the system version) And this may be the new 2.2 firmware by Motorola! Also, from what I have seen, 2.2 comes to motorola milestone UK in Q1 of this year, but only UK I think. I am not sure though.
But please do check if it is actually 2.2 and supply us with a link if it is
Edit: If anyone cares, here is the link for when the updates are scheduled : https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades
SHOLS_U2_02.36.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B806D.0R_PDS003_U SASHLS00RTGB_P026_A019_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz
In italy we have the 2.38 since september, so dont get too excited, is not froyo
I dont think its the 2.2, that release is already mentioned here under UK service packs.
I'll inform what it was after the update is done. I have no idea about the update since I'm already on 2.1-update1 and MSU only said there is an update available.
Edit: Well.. after downloading it informed that there is no new software available for the device. I have no idea why there was a popup in the notification area saying there was an update available.
And thanks for the link, Sileshn. I'll be more careful the next time so I don't get my hopes up for nothing... still waiting.
You should be able to tell by the download size.

for anyone who doesn't believe : )
It can be that you haven't checked for FOTA / Motorola Software Updater(MSU) for a long time ; )
just for FYI, it's the uk 2.1-update1...
with the annoying alarm bug ( :
SHOLS_U2_02.36.0 is not a 2.2.1 update
we have already that update in greece from summer it just fixes the alarm problem.

Maybe... But you can try it! Can you get it via OTA? If the answer is yes make it this way... you can abort installation once donwloaded and upload it searching it via Root explorer... Its only an idea..
But... you have 177 version... Its strange that you have an update... you have lastest froyo version...
Check out!
EDIT: Last version is 179...
no I don't have any update via ota, only via motorola software update....can you tell me if I can update with root permission without problem or is better remove them?

my version and my number build are the same...not sure on the other infos...
so what did it update???
I really don't know unfortunately...seems nothing
Settings->About phone - any details? Kernel version/buid number/etc?
kernel: 2.6.32.9
the other infos in the first post
And your sure its not an msu update?
i lost root on my phone, it can't be a msu update....i don't know is a mistery
it's a repair, not an update, it "fixed" your rooted phone
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
so it detected that I had root and he removed it? I'm right? because when it was searching for updates, it controlled that my phone was under guarantee....thanks I think you have found the right answer, sorry for the inutility of the thread! I was hoping in an official update from motorola but there are no hopes...
sorry for bad english

[Q] Help on updating Xoom (Just bought now)

Hello. I just bought my motorla xoom. Its a pretty old tablet but i still prefer this than those galaxy tabs.
When i try to update, it says it has the latest version but then in the system it is still 3.2. How do you update this tablet? Is it not allowed yet?
Information on my tablet is:
Model Number:
MZ604
Android Version:
3.2
Firmware configuration version:
GAS_ASIA_HUBBLEWIFIHKTWNGEN_P007
Kernel version:
2.6.36.3-00042-g3c1a41e
[email protected] #1
Build Number
H.6.6-27
I hope someone can help me.. im just new at this..
I just bought mine too. It arrived today actually. It came with version 3.1, and, as soon as I went to software updates under Settings, it updated to version 4.0.4
I believe it depends on which country you are.
Unless you want to GEDify your Xoom (as I will do very very soon), then you will receive always the newest updates directly from Google.
BTW, I'm from Brazil.

It is rolled out to everyone in every country, bot NOT at the same time. One day you will get ICS and then JB...
Gedify comes from GED which stands for “Google Experience Device”. A “Google Experience Device” receives its updates directly from Google, without any customization or modification from the device manufacturer.
This is only possible if you flash the US version of Xoom's rom.
MZ604 here in Brazil, there in Philippines and in the US, is MZ604, so there's no problem doing that.
I'm doing it tomorrow!
BTW, if I helped you, hit the Thanks button!
It's done! And Jelly Bean is freaking amazing!

Hey man, i sent my xoom back since i had some problems with my macro shots.. they dont seem to focus well. and when i try it with flash, i only get white pictures. is that normal?
Can you also send me links on how to root-flash-GEDify xoom? if possible though without unlocking bootloader... thanks man...
Unfortunately I won't be able to help you with this... I rarely take photos... even with my Sony smartphone that has an awesome camera.
But I can take some photos to test and see if this is normal. Then I post here my views.
Rooting your xoom won't be possible without unlocking the bootloader. Unless you search for methods using exploits. But those methods didn't work for me but it might be worth a try. So unlocking the bootloader is the best way to root. It's save, pretty easy and you also have the ability to install a custom Rom later on to get jelly bean (I am currently running the cm10 nightlies)

Can you share your Firmware Version, Kernel Version and Build Number as well? After updating to 4.0.4, did your Xoom still have the "Quickoffice HD" app? What I have read from the forums is that GEDifying your Xoom would loose this app since the US-based Xoom does not have Quickoffice HD buddled with the device.

No software update for my HTC One S...

I have an HTC One S which runs the german T-Mobile stock rom... (No root)
This is the software version:
Android 4.0.3
Software 1.77.111.5
HTC SDK API level 4.11
When I check for updates it says that my phone is already updated...
I had checked T-Mobile website and I saw a post that says that only these versions will get an update: 1.84.531.2 710RD and 1.53.531.16 710RD
But my version is 1.77.111.5... what does it mean? I'm not going to get an update? And what can i do with that...?
Thanks
Hi Ohad (I'm assumed you are Israeli, but I'll talk English anyway )
I have the same problem as you do, and the reason you don't have software update, and your version doesn't exist on T-Mobile's website, is because what you have said: you have German T-Mobile version.
1. The website is for USA version, not all of the countries. The german version is on this website (I assumed you don't know Deutsch (German), so it'll be hard to find the info about the update).
2. The Germany version probably haven't get the update yet. I hope for you (and for me) the update will come soon.
Have a nice day,
Bar
Ok, thanks
Is there any forecast about when it should be released for us?

According to their forum, there is no date for the update. Of course a lot of people are angry over there, so I guess the pressure will do the job.

Are you guys sure it`s made for Germany?
I have the same problem, but mine it`s made for Austria(if I try to open "Installation Mediecenter" it redirects to Play Store to an app by Tmobile Austria).
Can you guys check that?
Thanks!

i heard the update is only available for t-mo US only, not sure for European t-mo
Add me to the list. Im career-unlocked officially, still not update for my in Pakistan. My friend's One X got 4.0.4 a month ago. :S
same here. 4.0.3 was the lastet android version i could get with stockrom in germany.
You could always flash the 1.84 (4.03 Us T-mobile) ruu and update to 2.35 (4.04 Us T-Mobile) Because the hboot matches. Just a thought

[emoji1] in Europe we are still on december 2017 ...
HTC doesn't deserve our support anymore...
At least in Europe.
I got that update here in the states but I'm wondering when will give us 9.0 pie
This is the reason why I convert my European model to TW device...
Cheers
I'm still on December 2017(EU). My last phone from HTC, that's for sure. Next year i will buy an One Plus.

Short story before I get to my question.
I have a U11+ bought direct off HTC in Hong Kong.
I have had no updates since Dec 2017.
Wrote to HTC in Europe about the lack of updates and got this amazing reply:
------------------
Thank you for contacting HTC.
In regards to your enquiry about updates, kindly note that after running the serial number provided, your device ship country is Hong Kong.
Which means, it is not from EU region, and devices from the Asian region most of them cannot be updated and have no option to update.
------------------
Soo I checked through the XDA forums seems the TW version of the phone is the only one that gets regular updates.
Then I unlocked bootloader and downloaded HTC_U11+_TW_1.24.709.93_Images_OTA from nene bear.
I didn't install TWRP as I was going to return to stock and just be happy with the updates hopefully coming from the TW version.
all went smooth thanks to all the excellent posts and help on the forum.
378 fastboot flash -S 1G system system.img
379 fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
380 fastboot flash boot boot.img
oh and I relocked my bootloader
Yesterday I got a message about new update (I'm currently on Vodafone in Ireland)
I downloaded but it wouldn't install see the 2 screenshots.
ahh can't post the screenshots because i'm a new guy
its says:
cant update cause i may be running a modified version of system software....
I wonder is that because i turned of the boot lock once?
Or is this because of my CID is still HKG ??
I'm going to fire up fasboot and try and side load the update I downloaded from nene bear as I don't have root access and i couldn't find the update on the phone
I saw an interesting thread from handsome_hell about changing cid
Would the TW version or the WWE version the best for updates.

I have both TW and EU version of HTC-U11+ (both rooted with Magisk 18.0) and will apply OTA on TW only when RUU will be available (as I had - probably self-caused - problems during previous update of TW version).
I am not too advanced but AFAIK the phone needs to be "s-off" to change the CID to apply other region version updates smoothly, which is not available yet for HTC-U11+ (maybe I am wrong).
I hope for the EU version updates a "shortcut" directly to Android 9.0 (which was announced for HTC-U11+), otherwise the neglect of EU updates is really weired.
Today I got an answer from HTC support why European version U11+ did not get security updates ...
Sorry for for the answer but we can't say why 11+ is not getting security updates.
That's all [emoji1787]
Okay. I switched to a Pixel 3, great device and just the right size compared to the U11+ for me.
Bye HTC. Great devices wasted by a poor support...

Ah Thanks for the reply
I did have further conversations with HTC customer service regarding updates they said this:
------------------------------------
note that your phone is due to receive Android Pie very soon and this will be communicated via system notification message on your phone once the update is available for your phone, we are sorry for any inconvenience.
------------------------------------
It still doesn't explain the lack of regular security updates on the U11+ but my friends U11 has had 2 or 3 updates bought the same time as my U11+
I tried to get into recovery last night but got a red triangle Ill try it again later, got into the bootloader and download mode fine.
Think Ill end up going down the TWRP and Magisk route and change the CID just a bit more reading up to do.

u11 + model is selling in taiwan because the small updates take that region. I think he's looking at the sales figures. But if it's just Taiwan for the update, it won't be able to sell anywhere except Taiwan. International brand, will be the domestic brand.
Received today in Belgium on TW version of the device!

U12+ hasn't received it yet I think and it will sure arrive on it before U11+!
