Is this the official. If not will we still get ota?

Will we still get ota after using this update? Just wondering because if it is not official I still want to be able to receive the official one.

Why would anyone wonder if this is official? Where was it ever indicated by anyone, let alone LG or T-Mo, that this was it?
One thing is certain... this latest leaked build is a stock and un-rooted ROM, so future over the air updates will still work.

It was just strange it was available to the public when unofficial. It never said it was unofficial either.

I sure hope there is an OTA update, I am one of the ''lucky'' ones with LGP999DW phone and cannot update it at all, it keeps saying my phone is up to date and there is no update available.

Where do you see the dw or dwp. All mine says is lgp999 in about phone

You have to connect it to the LG update tool to see it.

I have never been able to get the OTA to work on the stock rom and being unrooted. From the day I got the phone it always has told me that it could not check for updates because of an authentication error. Same thing happens with this new leaked GB rom.

maybe because people got it off the official LG updater?

I've always been able to check and can on this gb as well
Not sure why that's happening to you

In a brief search, I was unable to find the LG Updater on the LG site. I ended up downloading it from a post in the dev section of this board.
I don't think any G2x customer was ever instructed to do anything other than wait for an OTA.

I got it off the LG website. It was around a while before the update was released. You could check fir updates using it. More than likely, this tool is made for unbranded users who wont get a TMO OTA. People who bought an LG G2x not a T-Mobile G2x. This is the only way they can update I'd think.

Here's the tool:

It says for me that my phone is up to date however. LG customer support says there is no update yet.

How to check for OTA update with the I727r (Rogers version)

Hi,
I have the Rogers version of the i727 and it has no option, in any menus, to check if ota update are available.
But
I found this trick on another website.
Dial *#*#checkin#*#* (checkin=2432546)
You will receive a notification telling you that the checkin succeeded.
Currently there is no update for i727r (rogers version)

That's probably not gonna work because running the CHECKIN will connect you to the Google Servers. Our updates will need to go through Rogers so they can add their bloatware and crap and sent out by Rogers to our IMEIs.
As the SkyRocket update has been sent out (and since they're exactly the same model minus the R), that means its ready but hasn't yet been blasphemized by Rogers yet.
That command used to work wonders with my good ol' Nexus One.
But..
Then again... I could be wrong.

I have the same problem, no update menu no where...i also dont want to root my phone before ICS

I would assume that the update would be done through kies. Kind of annoying I know.

Thats what i though too, until i saw kies only updates the kernel and has no way of updating and/or formating the OS

i have the same phone with the same problem.....any updates?

Rogers has never been very keen with updates. As far as Rogers is concerned updating the software on a phone causes too many problems.
I used to have a Nokia E71 for 3 years and Rogers never made a single update available even though dozens had been published by Nokia.

[Q] Official ICS OTA Update

My friend just reported that he just received the Official OTA ICS update on his i727. I'm running the leaked build so I can't confirm. Anyone else seeing the official update yet?

Yeah, he's retarded. It turned out to be the latest GB update.

Agreed ^^^ ur "friend" is lying. When officialbics hits this subsection will blow up, trust me
*#* Google dropbox, its useful.

I think it is available. I am on 2.3.6 and checked. It said I had an update but servers were busy and it would try again. I tried to check again but now it says I'm updated and I can check again in 24 hours, which is frustrating.

No update. I'm on stock unrooted 2.3.6. Checked and I'm up to date.

Its the same 2.3.6 update that they keep rolling out in waves.

I have the stock GB but rooted with cwm. I got rid of all the att crap with root installer. I took the OTA 'update' and after restart it reported the update failed. Also corrupted my encrypted sd card. dunno why. it won't 'continue update' as grayed out. Especially pissed now as OPs are saying this isn't even the (long awaited) ICS update.
My advice: ignore this update.
I'm waiting for a stable ICS from Samsung to show up on xda; I'll flash that.

Can someone edit the thread title to remove ICS from it? It's irking me.

Yes I keep seeing this thread get bumped and want to go insane

Don't be so negative guys. They roll out OTA really slowly. Sometime over a month or two. This might be real.

OTA-Did you get it? Withdrawn?

My daughter got it early on. I didn't. I'm having a lot of battery issues and rebooting. I want this update, hopefully it will cure my problems.
Reading the posts here, it seems it may have been withdrawn,
So I ask, Did you get the OTA? When?

I saw in the other post about the update that someone had it waiting for them Monday morning so I guess that means it wasn't withdrawn as of yesterday?

I never got it, either.

My wife hasn't gotten it, but I installed a different kernel. Would that keep her from getting the notice?
I figured if the ROM was stock, she would be ok...

You need a stock ROM and recovery to receive OTA updates.

Load up nvflash and click revert to stock.

I'm stock. I'm on 2.3.3 and v21e.
I'm curious and just want a show of hands from people who got it after the first couple of days.
Like I said, I did see where someone said they got it apparently over the weekend. This tells me it's not withdrawn?
And isn't the consensus that the OTA goes more smoothly than through LG?

Here's the problem, there's the lgp999DW, DWP, and 2 others that I dont remember off the top of my head. Only 3 of the 4 got the OTA. They're supposed to make the file available, for those who didnt recieve it like they were supposed to, around May 14. At that time I'm sure there should be a way to force load the update for our model.

I did the whole stock format and search for update, did the stock format and connected to my computer, all said the same thing, "Your device is up-to-date. 2.3.3 V21e." There is no current sure-fire way to get the update until they release it.

I just went through the G2x forum at T-Mobile and several reported getting the update today.

OK, found out the update was for lg p999DW models only. If you wanna which one you have, remove your battery cover and right below were the battery goes in little white print you should see something LG-P999DW or LG-P999DWP.

Official OTA is v21e
Unofficial OTA is v21y
v21y is highly NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
You can try by offline-upgrading back and forth both versions and check out the battery life

Being stated on website doesn't mean it's official. T-mobile pulled it down and has been working on random freezing and signal drop since then

I accidentally thanked you so your welcome , but how is it not official? From what i understand it was an official update from them, i dont think it was a leak either as they even gave out an update schedule, maybe they pulled it but its still 'official' from them.

I was told the same three times now, but still no sign on my Xoom.
Here is an excerpt from the email from them, the names have been changed to protect the innocent lol:
Dear ,
Thank you for contacting Motorola.
The ICS for XOOM has begun to rollout in the UK. As a rollout is done in stages, not all units will recieve the update at the same time. Please ensure that you are connected to a strong wifi connection and then manually check for updates by going to Settings>About tablet>Software updates.
We fully understand the inconveniance caused by this delay but believe you will enjoy all the new features ICS will bring.
For any further assistance or information please do not hesitate to contact us again, quoting your Customer Reference number.
Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.
Kind regards,
Motorola Mobility UK Ltd.

Hi all,
I can confirm it has started rolling out as I got the update available notice yesterday 4/8/12 on my Xoom 32gb WIfI +3G, it is quite a big download and install as it takes quite a while but my Xoom is now running fast and smooth on ICS and its all good. Hope you others get your update soon, now we just need to wait and see if we get JB.
Marc

It has been on the roll for sometime!
and If
My Xoom had NOT been rooted
I would have had it today
I could bark at a tree!
motorola - FAIL-ED
now I have to wait again, i guess?
Samsungs s3 - rooted - updated - YESSSSSSSSSS

I can confirm that i have updated my UK MZ604 with official ICS.. So i think everyone should get the notification

Got mine today but it hangs on recovery screen when installing, any clues on how to fix this? Mine is rooted and b/l unlocked, wifi only XOOM.

i think that is why its stuck on recovery you must unroot it and lock the bootloader..

Stuck at work at the mo, but you need to download the stock Img from the moto-dev site and install it via adb, google is your friend on this, if not i can drop a few links later tonight.
