My Shield Tablet recently notified me of the Lollipop 5.1 update. It's not rooted, and not modified. I could download it at the time due to a bad connection, so I paused it. When it resumed later and completed, I tapped to flash and it took me to the System Updates screen, where it told me "Your system is up to date." This is all I can get from it, even when I choose to reset the update data. I know the update didn't install, and when I check the software version, it's reported as 5.0.1.
Is there anything I can do?
I have the same problem. Did you get it sorted? Did a factory reset and still no joy. Says I'm on 5.01 and system is up to date. Annoying
You can try to force method by clearing data from Google Services Framework and close it, then check for update. It might work after quite a few attempts.
Else just flash the update manually: http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...rial-how-to-debloat-optimize-ota-3-0-t3118187
Word is they've shut off the update server while they investigate some device breaking bugs in the new update. People reporting Speaker destruction due to the update.

Anyone getting a force close on the market after the update? I tried with wifi on and off, I get a message telling me there's no connection and retry or cancel and as soon as that message pops up a force close message pops up. Reflashed several times but haven't done a wipe yet

Had the same problem at first, reflashed the radio update and it maybe?? fixed it. hasn't happened since.
should we apply the radio update after the rc33 update? maybe that's the problem?
First time I flashed it before, had the error, reflashed and not had it since.
any of you guys running themes before the flash? also how long did it take to load once you did access the market?
seems like a wipe fixed it
yeah i was having the same market problem it was really slow to work...a wipe did the trick though..now im just searching to see if i need to re do all the cache for market, browser, etc..
TBH, i think it may be a coincidence that you all got it to work after reflashing/wiping.
I had the exact same problem but didn't see many posts about it so I figured I'd wait it out.
After about an hour, the problem went away and I haven't had any issues since.
mine didn't go away all day
No problems, and yes you install rc33 first and then the radio afterwards.
hmm guess i just got lucky then. now that i think about it, at one point i changed 3g to 2g and then back, and then it worked, so i dunno.
I can't see how the issue went away since there is no radio applied in RC33.
I had to install the radio for the market and Sync to work
im having market issues after 5 days of it working
i get that forced closed and error.
dont know if i should wipe and see if that fixes it blah.
I personally ALWAYS wipe prior to installing a new rom.
did you reboot?
install the radio?
throw the phone against the wall?

I think we were talking about reinstalling the radio update, which I didn't have to do for the issue to go away.
RC33 Hanging Issues ...
All,
I was also having the same problem as allot of folks on here. As a result, wiping does correct the issue. However, wiping also cause you to have to re configure all the apps you have. The issue is that the hacks for Apps on SDcard and Application caches causes hangs when upgrading to a new version. The reason is because the symbolic links previously created are no longer available so the applications cannot locate their application data.
I saw on another post that there is a work around to fix this issue without having to do a wipe.
The fix is simply to recreate the symbolic links that previously existed.
If your phone is stuck at the android logo, this can be done by plugging in the USB to PC and use adb to recreate the symbolic links. Then yank the battery and power it on again.
Hope this help others.

I haven't had any to try. :-/
My Market will browse all day long but randomly when I try to download something it just sits at "Starting Download". I have to cancel it, exit the Market, rinse and repeat before it goes. Weird.
I got the update the other day but my phone keeps giving me an error on install.
I don't see anything in Lolipop that interests me enough to bother messing with the phone to make the update happen so I turned off the update messages. My questions is, where does it store the update on the phone as I'd like to free up the .5 GB its taking.
Thanks
Anyone?
Pretty sure it's in /cache
And instead of just turning off the notification, you should disable the ota update receivers which will effectly prevent your phone from ever wanting/trying to update again. Check this thread for details- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2952845
Hey guys. So, I got my BPXL about a week ago, and I instantly loved it. The first thing I did was reinstall all apps from my previous phone. All 180 apps. No issues (except for the -504 problems). Two days ago, I was prompted by the Play Store about some updates. I told my phone to update all apps automatically, but there was a list of about ten items that needed to be updated. "okay, whatever." So I initiated the downloads. About two hours later, I realized that in the notification drawer, the download for the very first app in that list was appearing as paused. Return to the Google Play Store, see what's up, and the download bar is just running running running, but never actually showing any download progress. Paused them all, tried to run them one at a time, same problem. Tried to install a new app, same problem. Tried all of Google's troubleshooting steps, same problem. Here's where it gets real fun: Performed factory reset of phone, same problem. Acquired replacement phone from Amazon, SAME PROBLEM.
Apps can be downloaded and installed from the Amazon Appstore, but Amazon's app market couldn't hold a candle to the Google Play Store. I'm totally at the end of my rope. Google doesn't know what to do, Blu doesn't know what to do, and I have no idea what to do. I have no idea what is causing these issues. Anybody had anything similar happen and know what to do?
New here but I've had my Pure XL since December. I've been having the same issue for about a week or so. The only thing I've found that works is to cancel the updates, turn off Wi-Fi and start downloading them again. Of course that uses a lot of data, so it's not really an ideal solution..
and the download bar is just running running running said:
Dear friend i got the same problem. But i was very confused when I when to other WIFI location and suddenly the downloads start working....I change my originally router and seens to fix that..don't know why... but it never happen again...

I actually just got off the phone with Blu CS, and it seems that this issue is common enough that they're rushing out a patch to try and fix it. There's a lot of other broken stuff I hope they patch over too, but in the meantime, being able to download off of Google Play would be a big step forward.
So there it is. Anybody experiencing the issue, wait. That's what they told me, that's all we can do.
Received an OTA update today that appears to have resolved the play store issue.
Blu Pure XL pause download problem *Easy Bypass*
I recently bought a Blu Pure XL, shortly after I rooted it no problem, then I had the store error that everyone else is talking about and people say there was an update released to fix it. Unfortunately when I try to start the OTA says my system is damaged so I downloaded the app: DataEye to see what processes use the internet while downloading and long story short when the download says paused open Dataeye and Toggle data saving mode on then off! Fixes every download that pauses hope this helps!
I try to to update today through wireless update but i only get the message "network connection failed". So i unroot the phone using the the tutorial forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/general/twrp-recovery-root-blu-pure-xl-allview-t3269447 by bemolx
it keep saying "network connection failed" on WIFI or 4G, internet is ok and working.
But i notice something weird: I can't set the camera Storage Location to Internal Memory, only to SD card. (Also whatsapp can't receive any media) . I don't know if i did something wrong at the first time when i root the phone or if this is related to the update that i am not able to install. By the way if somebody manage to download this update as a zip and share with the community. ? maybe others are having the same problem?

Happy Updating!
Can you tell me how to install this update ? I downloaded it, but didn't see any instructions on how to update it. Thanks.
Install the 2 downloadmanager files

Download and install downloadprovider.apk and downloadproviderui.apk from the url above.
So to my great irritation, I recently discovered that the mobile network crash bug that had been fixed in B383 is back in B386. For anyone wondering, I'm talking about the bug where opening "Mobile network" in settings causes phone services to crash and reset.
I'm still not sure what causes it, or what if anything can be reset individually to fix it.
But I do have to fixes for anyone else experiencing it.
The first is to roll back to B383. You can even upgrade again to B386 and it will remain fixed ON UPGRADE but will recur after. I couldn't stay on b383 as downgrading caused lots of Huawei services to disappear.
The second is more reliable. If you switch the phone's primary language to Simplified Chinese (China), you can access Mobile network to change whatever settings you need to, and afterwards change it back. Obviously this is a pain if you can't speak Chinese but it's better than nothing.
I had that, a full reset cleared the problem up.

Yeah but it comes back. Before B383 I had to resign myself to accepting it because it kept recurring.
After I downgraded to B383 and re-upgraded to B386, I only managed to turn the phone off twice before it recurred.
I'd have stayed on B383 since it doesn't seem to affect it at all, but all the system apps that disappeared after downgrading forced me to go back.
By months my 3a won't automatically update itself even with update/download "over any network", I have already tried to restore and wipe from recovery but still unresolved.
Does anyone noticed this issue?
I tried waiting almost one month without system (monthly patch) and apps (all pending) updates popup.
Google support after few attempts, just proposed me a warranty replacement but the phone otherwise is perfect.
Manual updates works.
Any tips?
TY
I had the same issue back in January and didn't get a system update well into April. So I had to manually update. Still haven't gotten the May update yet, but we'll see.
Also with the apps?
If you have an unlocked bootloader, I would not count on automatic monthly updates. They work sometimes, but not most of the time. My personal experience is that I have to sideload the monthly updates about 90% of the time.
As far as app updates, I generally manually check it every couple of days and find that there are pending updates. I will hit the "update" button and manually update them if I see pending updates. That being said, if I don't check it for a while (maybe a week), the phone will eventually update the apps, but it certainly doesn't happen on a daily basis, at least not in my experience. I just wanted to add my experiences as they seem to be very similar to yours.

Having an unlocked bootloader, too, but I never had issues with updates until now, they are coming directly at the first day Google is sending out the OTA.
I wonder if our phone service provider is also a factor? I have not been seeing the updates available within a day or two of when they are posted on the first Monday of the month. I get my phone service through a T-mobile MVNO. Maybe people on Google Fi are more likely to get it OTA quickly?
My phone is rooted with Magisk.
But I'm impatient so I have always just applied the update manually. It's a bit more of a pain because it means that I have to download not only the update but also the factory image to extract the boot image file and patch it with Magisk.
I have not had a problem installing updates for apps through play. I just have to remember to NOT update youtube so that I don't lose youtube vanced!
Hi all and thanks for your time!
I have a good news.
After avoid to do any manual update, right now I see that few apps have been updated themself from 11 hr and 2 days ago, but other 22 apps are still pending (when I wrote here the 6th May they were 40).
Around the 23th of Feb I had to do manual update search because it still was with Jan patch, even in March and April I did the manual search the week after the day 5th.
My phone is not rooted and during the day it uses both cellular and WiFi networks, mostly of the nights I put it in airplane mode and battery save (so it lasts easily for 2 days).
The cause was because I put all the nights the phone in airplane mode with battery saver, last night I leave it connected to WiFi and under charge, this morning I found the advice to reboot for install the system patch and after boot also the apps were updated.
The system patch has been found around 4 am.
I'm having a similar issue with my rooted 3a. I have stock rom, elemental kernel, and magisk. But apps that came installed as part of the ohone won't update in Google play. Stuff like phone, contacts, sim carrier, Gmail, camera, etc
There's literally about 20 updates right now that won't install. They download, and say installing, then they just skip to the next and still say there's an available update. After the final one is tried, I get a message saying that it was unable to update those apps.
Any app that I downloaded from play or as an apk, allows me to update without any issue at all.
I have googled it and followed the recommendations, but so far, nothing has helped. I cleaned the cache, hard reboots, switch update settings, turned off play protect, deleted cache and data of play store and play services. Removed my account and added it bad. And have some a few more things that I read about -- but yet nothing fixes it.
If I should start a new thread, that's no problem. I don't want to hijack this one. But saw that it dealt with update issues and thought maybe I would see if I could find help.
