Hello guys,
I have a stock Nexus One that received two updates, the first one was 2.2 which updated since the first boot, and the second one is the 2.2.1 (FRG83D). Now Google started the 2.3 OTA roll out (see http://bit.ly/hUlpUy) but I didn't get yet the 2.2.2 update yet. Will my phone accept the 2.3 one even if I didn't update to 2.2.2 yet?
Thanks in advance!
Was your phone bought directly from Google or through a carrier? The only phones that i know of that haven't received 2.2.2 yet are the ones tied to carriers like Vodafone, and if that is the case you'd have a long wait to receive 2.3.3 anyway.
Well yes. I bought it from Vodafone Italy. I understand, but it would update anyways right? Even if I would wait a little longer I mean? And will it have to update first to 2.2.2 or it just can jump to 2.3.3?
Thanks for your response.
And by the way it is not locked to vodafone (branded). It's unlocked.
Type *#*#checkin#*#* into the dialer. Your phone will then force check for the update.
More info here
Yeah I do this every now and then
I also have the Nexus One which in the end came from Vodafone! (However much i regret this now) So I am also still on 2.2.1 waiting for Vodafone to still push 2.2.2!
I have attempted to flash 2.2.2 to my phone using ClockWorkMod etc but that didn't work out and it ended up just looping the Nexus logo on startup so had to recover it all, I attempted that a few times as well but with no luck! So in the end I still have the carrier version of stock android!
I'm hoping that someone on here manages to source the Nexus One 2.3.3 OTA file from the Google servers and can whack up some instructions on how we can flash that over because I'm sick of waiting on Vodafone! Will it be possible for me to go from 2.2.1 straight to 2.3.3? Or do I have to get 2.2.2?
I don't think anyone has received the Nexus One 2.3.3 OTA yet so whether Google have actually put it up for release yet is another thing!
The OTA is not pushed by Vodafone. I've bought my N1 from Italy (vodafone) and I use it in Egypt, and I could receive all the previous OTAs without any issue. Now my question was simple. Do I have to update to the versions before 2.3.3 or it can just update from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3? (note there are 3 versions in the middle).
Thanks.
You guys have lots of options and should really come post in the Nexus One section of the forum.
If you are on Vodafone firmware phones, and hitting up *#*#checkin#*#* daily, then you are going to wear out your device before Voda actually gets around to releasing the OTA!
I imagine that Voda will either OTA 2.2.2 sometime and then 2.3.3 later, or will skip 2.2.2 and find a way to roll it into the 2.3.3 update later. There's also the possibility that they never intend to update the Nexus One again. After all there's not much profit in it for them as Nexus users make up a tiny percentage of their customers. My advice would be to go custom.
Options include Rooting and flashing a stock, non-voda firmware, which fails for a lot of people (including me), or flashing a custom/stock 2.2.2 (which worked for me) which will then allow future OTA direct from Google, or go the custom route and flash a CM7 ROM so that you never have to worry about OTA again
Thanks DirkGently1 for the info. I would like to do the same thing you did with your phone (flashing a stock 2.2.2) so I could get OTAs directly from google?
Thanks in advance!
I would also like to receive my OTA's from Google, I have attempted the flashing of a stock 2.2.2 ROM which is what failed for me, maybe this is the same non vodafone firmware you've just mentioned which didn't work for you?
Any instructions and files as to how you managed to flash yours to 2.2.2 to get updates from Google?

All the usual stock ROM/passimg.zip methods failed for me. Either installing the OTA to get updated to the most recent build, or updating manually, would fail. So i used THIS ROM which is a stock, rooted, 2.2.2 that will be able to receive OTA direct from Google.
If you can't install that for some reason then you probably can't install any ROM using the normal methods. In that case your only option would be to unlock your Bootloader and use Fastboot. HTC always seems to honour warranties regardless so i wouldn't let that worry you.
I guess I'll have to root my 2.2.1 Rom before being able to flash it with the rom you suggested...
I can't root it!!

What method did you try? For me SuperOneClick works like a champ as long as 1) Your device drivers are installed properly on your pc* and 2) You enable USB Debugging and then turn off the phone/plug in to pc/start SOC and select 'Root'/Turn phone back on when you see the 'waiting for device..' prompt/wait until completed.
*Nexus one driver pack can be found around here somewhere. I believe they came from the SDK.

My version is 2.2.1. Is there something that can root it yet?

Hey all have a wifi Iconia A500 stock ota 3.2.1 wondering is it safe to downgrade using method two as posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
Hi i used first method

Did you have 3.2.1 installed or 3.2? Mainly was hoping to use method 2 as it seems more noob proof. Tottaly new to android and dont really get the gist of custom firmware yet. I thought with method 2 their would be less chance of something going wrong.
i had 3.2
i used the following soft: EUUs_SBK_Acer_A501_0.017.01_PA_ATT.exe
i just edit config in the remp folder. i changed uid and model from 501 to 500
Today i bit the bullet and tried method 2 all went smooth no issue now running thors rom on rooted iconia edit note I was on default acer australia rom 3.2.1
ok so after playing with custom roms for full day and not finding one I liked more than the stock I decided to return to stock. I got it done from the 3.2 ota rom from the developer section. Just wondering if I have to do anything else to receive ota updates again. I have used the check for update feature but it says I'm up to date when I know there is a 3.2.1 update available as I had it before I installed the custom from. Is it just a matter of waiting for it?
Anyone here or anywhere else on the web been able to get hold of the stock
3.2.1 update to sideload the update?
ok after spending most of the day reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878 and trying to digest all the info gee major brain scrammble looks like I will no longer receive ota updates. My bad should have spent more time reading instead of jumping in head first. So now I can either wait for ota updates to be posted here and manually update or go back to custom roms full time. So looks like I will be going with option 2 I found a thread here that ics is in the works so don't feel so bad bout my major stuff up. Out of interest will Acer restore defaults for a price?
Back to stock and getting ota updates see my post on page 25 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155664
Hi bulcmal, you seem to know how to solve my question:
I own a new ICONIA A500 and after a few moment with it I updated to 3.2 without reading about it and knowing that has a lot of bugs. Now I want to go back to OTA 3.1 so my question is next one:
After I use the second method presented here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1276227
Can I update to 3.1 freely (using the update function on the settings).
Thanks a lot.
Method 2 downgrade and you have the right room for your country I don't see why it wouldn't work. After you downgrade when it reboots you will get lots of force close don't panic its fine, then shutdown tablet complete remove your micro sd card delete the downgrade rom and copy the stock rom to the sd card( I just used a cheap card reader for this) then reboot while holding down volume button on left side and power button keap holding till small white text appears in upper left of tablet screen. On a side note its very important to test unzip both updates (the downgrade rom and the stock rom) to be sure they are not corrupt if the process fails to unzip either update you could brick your tab. Also both roms will be called update. Zip don't unzip files any further than this other than to test that they can be unzipped without issues. I take no responsibility if things go pear shaped just describing what I did.

I wouldn't risk updating from the settings menu the downgrade rom is very unstable and you may get errors see post above cheers.
Hi, I read the post above and have two more questions:
First:
I bought the tablet on Amazon US. How do I know which rom do I need?
And second:
After I flash the stock rom, the OTA updates will be available?
I am new to this flashing thing so bare with me if my questions are a bit stupid.
Thanks a lot.
Do you think this will work with a USB storage?

I dont know wich stock rom you would need Usally you would search for the rom based on what country you are in. But seeing as you imported it I dont know how it would work. On the other hand if you got ota updates in your country perhaps it is now running your countries firmware. I succesfully got ota updates after doing this.

??? Do you mean can you use usb storage to do the downgrade and the installation of the stock rom? If so I think it only works from the micro sd card slot.
Also guys the 3.2.1 update is currently being rolled out if you dont need root you could always wait for that update it may also fix your issues cheers
how long has the 3.2.1 update been rolling out? still stuck on 3.2 here in melbourne. I got the tablet a week ago and it updated only up to 3.2.
I originally got it early-mid november, then acer pulled the update. It was re released about 2 weeks ago. I am still waiting for it to come back to.
ok, thought i was being left behind. guess i have to be patient lol
I just bought an unlocked 9023 nexus s for my sister in India. I am a flash-junkie on my verizon droid inc, but she is not tech savvy. I wanted to load up a good stable system for her before handing over the phone so she could use it as a daily machine. I was thinking about applying the stock 4.0.3 full update but then i saw some issues about wifi and signal and google halting it, so now im having second thoughts. if i do the 4.0.3 full update from recovery, can i go back to gb if i have problems?
will the phone keep getting all future ics upgrades through google?
is 4.0.3 stock rootable? and will root stay in upgrades? (so if i root and give her, Id like her to use titanium and stuff and not have to worry about losing root in future OTA.)
Thanks.
How about reading the stickies.

Nexus devices can always have their bootloaders unlocked and then install superuser afterward. When unlocking the bootloader all of her data will be lost.
Root is disable on OTA updates because permissions get adjusted. You can run a fix permissions in CWM or reflash a superuser zip file after the OTA to get root again.
You can go back to GB by flashing an old system image using fastboot if you don't like ICS.

exactly what i needed to know. i might just put ics and give it to her without root so she can keep getting OTAs because i dont think she really needs root.
My phone downloaded OTA update 9.16.6. Could not stop the download. Froze updater 4.1.1-41. Don't like Verizon pushing OS updates at me. Nice if they would ask and let you decide.
After reading of hassles with losing root and poor operation, have decided to leave the phone rooted on 4.1.1.
Would like to find the downloaded file 9.16.6 approx 95.1 mb and remove it. Does any one happen to know the file name and location?
Phone is razr hd 926

honestly, you should just fastboot the 4.1.2 files and use motochopper to root. no more nagging update and youre on the latest firmware with root.
Anyone get this yet?
Someone that gets the update notification AND is rooted.. can you pull the update zip and send it to me?
This needs to be done BEFORE you run the update.
File should be in the /cache partition.
Need to know if root changed.. also wanna see if they blocked the loki exploit. Thx :good:
I ws at work today with no WiFi on, and when I pulled the phone out of my pocket this update had already applied itself. I have knock knock on so that could have allowed my nether regions to authorize the update. Anywho, if I can still safely use lg flash tool to go back to 80010d then I can flash back and see if the server will push 10q again. Nothing in stone but it be nice to have some clue from someone with greater understanding if i can flash back to 10d without creating problems from this new update. The AT&T variants have Carrier IQ installed. Is it possible LG is aware of my flashing back and forth from Cymod to stock and forced the update without a prerequisite consent toast popup?

you can certainly downgrade back to 10d using LG Flash without causing issues. That may not ALWAYS be the case with future OTA updates but LG has not yet enforced "anti-rollback"
As for the update being installed.. I have read that you can only delay the update install so many times.. but after a certain amount of time the update is forced. Now I've only read this and can't say from first hand experience.. but maybe thats what happened to you. If that is the case and updates are being forced after a set time.. the only way to get around the update would be to freeze or remove the apk responsible for updates.. not even sure which apk is responsible offhand.
HERE's the link to where I read about the update.
"You can delay the update up to three times for four hours each time. After the fourth delay, the update will automatically get installed on the phone."
The fact that it auto installs at all is worrisome
Thanks for that. The responses in your link indicate they were not asked permission explicitly to apply the update. The fact that this, "paves the way for future updates," worries me that the bootloader has changed. I can confirm the radio has not. I work odd hours. When I'm off in the AM I'll see if i can't warm up LG Flash Tools and revert to 10d from download mode. If so I'll see whats up with root and pulling the update. Considering multiple sources are stating there was no confirmation it gives me a hunch this may have something to do with patching loki exoloit, though I have no emperical evidence of prior statement.
Soooo, if you Google "lg d80010q" there are three entries now. One of which is this
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/agent_phonesw_notice_list.jsp?country=US
Not being a deepweb database expert I wonder if this might allow the update to be retrieved directly from LG.

nope just notifies LG service centers whats newly available.
Was running stock. Used LGFlashTool to go back to 10d and 10o and can't get the server to push the update even after trying to check for it from both cellular data and several different IP's while on WiFi. No dice. Software update 10q simply hasn't come to me yet. Out of time and energy at the moment. Sorry.
This update put my phone into a recovery loop and was unusable. I finally got it back to stock and about 48 hours later it just updated itself . There is barely any warning, a box pops up saying its updating and it does it! I dont like this at all ,any update should require some kind of approval from the user . But at least my phone runs great now!
Anyone with new "q" update....can you confirm that root works? I got stuck in bootloop when it installed and ended up restoring nandroid backup before I fixed it so i'm still on "o" for now.
Thanks,
The other afternoon I was busy pecking away at my laptop with my phone on the charger. All of the sudden my phone has the pretty blue sky over a green, grassy field and it's updating! I did not have the device on WiFi and I did not confirm this update. This update is being forced upon us AT&T users without any confirmation. I suppose it's small size and their over confidence in SHA/CRC checks make them think installing an update loaded over a cellular connection is a good idea. Heck, at least this is rumored to be paving the way for some official form of KitKat. The folks that work on this phone and produce such things as Cyanogenmod and other Android Remixes are amazing! I simply like the clip tray, knock-knock, my back LED working and better bench numbers to much to be swayed from stock. That is just my preference. Y'all still rock chicks off socks with the "ROMs"!

Not sure if this helps at all...
I had this update (d80010q) installed and tried to root (for the first time). I was unable to. Superuser was transferred, but did not have root access. Looks like I may have to downgrade before rooting. Is this correct? Thanks!
Can anyone provide tot for the d80010q
Root not working.
I can attest to not being able root my G2 with D80010q on it. Hop4efully a fix soon?

d80010o isnt part of the command. it starts at "adb"
I got this update few days ago.. I was rooted on "d", it went to "o" after i postponed it 4 times, and it went to "q" automatically without asking.
I use pattern as my screen lock, at random times, phone will reboot from AT&T logo.. it's very annoying, and i'm not sure what to do about it.. I can go back to "d" but ATT will eventually update it.
Anyone get TWRP to install after root on this? I used FreeGee with mine. Says installed successfully, but TWRP app is nowhere to be found.
Also, Root Browser never asks for SU access, as the other root apps do, and the apps I can supposedly safely remove are not in the /system/app folder. Very confused now.
---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
Root. Checker and terminal emulater both show me to have root access.
However root explorer doesn't show any of the apps that are supposed to be safe to remove, and it never asks for su permission like the other root apps do.
Also there is no/ system/apps folder. There is only/ system/app. Are these folders hidden somehow?
