Phone not getting updates - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I have been rooted and flashing for a while with this beast of a phone. I went back to stock unrooted MB1 a few days ago and I check for software updates every so often and it keeps saying there is no new update. I even tried through Kies last night and it said MB1 was the latest software. I also tried clearing cache in google framework and force stopping it. I can't figure out why it isn't seeing any updates.

Thanks, I actually may have fixed it by accident. I used odin and again and used the PIT this time and then went into 3e and went to the option to delete user data and when the phone rebooted i went thru the setup guide and skipped everything. I then went to the market and it had me go thru the google sign up guide and i signed into my account and then i went into the manage applications and saw that the market version was 2.3.6 so Im not sure if what i did worked or if it was just me.
Just FYI it auto updates to the latest version. Had the same thing happen to a new Infuse I picked up today for my wife.
Hers hadn't updated after 10 minutes so did the following (posted on a Google help forum I can't link to because I'm noob):
Delete the market's cache and data and force close it, reboot your phone. After reboot start the market wait a minute go back to home and then restart the market.
This "worked" for me, but waiting a little longer or rebooting may have been what actually fixed it.

I did delete the cache and data and i waited like an hour and it didn't update. Whatever i did before worked.
Thanks for your help.
try downloading an app, it should then say updates available in the notification bar, it may automatically update or you can go into "my apps" and see the updates. if that doesnt work i guess i can pull the apk and post it
I got it figured out, but before it did update some apps.
It eventually changes, mine stayed liek that for 3 days i think then just changed to the new one...
i kind of like the old one tho.

Force update of stock apps

I recently rooted my phone so it wiped everything and I'm back to a clean phone but I am missing updates to stock apps. I thought they would get pushed on their own but its been three days now and they haven't updated. Anyway I can force an update? I already tried clearing market cache but it didn't work.

You mean updates like maps 5.9.0 and gmail 2.3.5? Then you'll have to wait until it's your device's turn for an autoupdate again. Basically it's rolled out in badges and it's not your turn now, maybe it'll take a few days.
Haven't heared of a way to force updates. Try signing in to Google servers, *#*#checkin#*#*, but I think that's for OS OTAs only.
Or you'll have someone send you the apks. If you have cwm recovery you can use gapp.zip from CM. Another option (root req) is to get market enabler, delete teh stock app via TB and then redownload it.

Try going to Market. It might not show Gmail under Updates, but I just opened the Gmail market page and it let me manually update to the latest version 2.3.5.

Looking at his name I think he's German as well, we don't have access to GMail app via the market here, we have to wait for OTA updates (or use market enabler).
I'm from India.
I managed to force an update by changing my carrier using market enabler to Verizon in the USA. The market and music app updated within a minute.

[Q] WTH? My stock Thunderbolt just updated istelf!

I'm noticing in other threads than OTA update has been pushed, but again - WTH? I noticed this morning my Thunderbolt was downloading the update. I hopped on the internet to check this site about what this update would contain. While logging on, I heard my Thunderbold do the short vibrate reboot sound - I looked over and it apparently had not only downloaded the update, but flashed it as well - completely wiping my settings/data in the process!
I had been holding off rooting for lack of time, but now there is no reason to wait. And I can't believe, if I'm not the only one this has happened to, that there won't be a lot of PISSED Thunderbolt owners out there...
This is common practice for OTAs to update automatically. That's why they PUSH the updates.

I rejected it error code 401 hopefully it will not update.
If I have to pull battery then I think I'm screwed holding off till bugs surface and they send out patches

I found mine updated this morning. But no settings or anything wiped, just the new gingerbread software, new verizon included software (or updated).
Have stock TB. Found OTA new update and downloaded it. Most of my settings were still there. Had old GB update and did a factory reset 2x trying to fix issues. New OTA fixed issues I was having.

I get that, but wiping the device should require the owner's approval.
An update on this: apparently, it has only wiped the device, as now it wants to do the update. Curious (and maddening) that it's asking permission to do the update but wiped the device without warning. Maybe the wiping is a prep step for the update? Still doesn't justify it.
I could even give Verizon and/or HTC the benefit of the doubt and say that wiping was some sort of bug, but it still should never have happened. I'm in the mood to root it now, so hopefully it will be a moot point...
Mine trys to update, but I just get the "!" with the small blue-android.
I just reboot it, and it says "update failed" and I go on my merry way.

Not a crisis, but could use some help

So after reading that the 2.3.6 update should not cause loss of root (i used zergrush oneclick), I decided to go ahead and do it OTA.
Unfortunately I was on a conference call for work and forgot to unfreeze the apps I had previously frozen with TiBu.
Started the update, it got to 75% and then said "update failed" and restarted. Everything seems fine.
I went into TiBu, unfroze everything and went back to update. I checked for the update and it is saying I am up-to-date, and to check back in 24 hours, but the phone is still on 2.3.5.
Any thoughts on how to force it tonight (or later if it does not want to do it on it's own)
Figured I would ask first before messing around anymore.
Yes push menu settings date and time uncheck automatic and change your date to a day from now manually then u can get the update

Thanks for the quick answer.
Unfortunately, while that did allow me to check again for updates, it is still saying my phone is up to date, despite showing as being on 2.3.5
I don't think the TiBu frozen apps prevented the OTA update... I was rooted using SuperOneClick 2.2 on 2.3.5. I did the OTA 2.3.6 update with 18 apps frozen with TiBu and it updated fine... I retained root... 18 apps still frozen... LauncherPro and all my widgits still functional. We're you on stock Recovery?

Vaguely embarrassed but I think so? I have a new kid so much less time to play with phones.
Took a stock phone, rooted with zergrush, added super user so I could use TiBu to freeze bloat and some of the advanced juice defender and widget locker capabilities and that is it.

Any solution for this yet?
I did the same thing, had mulitple apps and services frozen. I keep getting the already updated message.

OK, here it is. But, after I was about halfway through the upload, I remembered I puller some stuff out. The main thing I was concerned with is the visual voicemail.apk. Hope you guys can get it from the market like we can on tmobile. Anyhow, here is the rooted 2.3.6 rom. Please, after first boot, go back into recovery and fix permissions.

Connection failed caused by authentication error

Can anyone tell me their device management sever settings for the firmware over the air. That has received the new update to 2.3.4? I can tell you how to get to the settings to see what they are

I'm getting this error as well. I did the update to v21y a couple weeks ago with the LG tool. but my phone keeps prompting me with "You can check a new software". Way to go in english class. Tmobile tells me LG is pushing the update not them and gives me the LG support number.
I'm already on 21y and am being prompted to check for the update and then authentication error. Maybe this version of 21y is slightly different.
Could you tell me the server settings?

I am getting this error as well. I was running CM7.2 rc1 and decided to night to revert to stock to see if I could get the ota.
I used CWM to restore to stock 2.3.3 using the download from gunman's thread. Cleared dalvik, cache and did a factory restore. I noticed superuser was still on there so I flashed jboxers zip to unroot, then used nvflash to restore stock recovery. Cleared cache, dalvik and did another factory reset to be sure.
Checking for an update I don't get a message about whether my phone is up to date or not, I get a message saying it can't connect to the server due to an authentication error.
This happened to me last time there was an ota update. To go from Froyo to GB I had to use the LG tool because my phone wouldn't authenticate with tmo's servers.
It's not a second hand phone or anything. I bought it directly from a tmo store. Dunno why it won't ever authenticate for an ota update.
My g2x did that for the 2.3.3 update on the new one it downloads then had the authentication error. The offline fix for the update works great though
