I just downgraded to RC29 from a rooted version of JF1.5, it was slow and laggy, and every application was force closing.
Now im trying to get to the google version of 1.5. Do i have to upgrade to RC30 then RC33, for it to update? Does anyone have the links?
I just want the newest version available right now. I do not want to jailbreak/root again.
Just wait! That is all.
Actually, try to keep a good Wifi signal going. Sometimes you will get the OTA update within a hour or two, sometimes it can take a day. It does have to download 46 megs before it tells you the update is there.
ok great.. Thats all i needed to know. Thanks man.

Hey all,
I'm running a T-Mobile G1, rooted with JF's newest 1.5 firmware and running just fine. As of last night I started getting notified that my phone had downloaded the new security fix from Google and would like to install it. There is no "Don't install" option that I can find, just "Install Now", "Install Later...", or "More Info". I just have been going to the "More info" option and backing out from there which seems to delay it for a few hours, but it just keeps coming back. Does anyone know if it will be safe to allow it to install (I don't want to try for fear of losing my precious root)? If I can't let it install, does anyone at least know of a way to get it to stop bugging me about it?
Thanks,
Bob
I thought JF's builds blocked OTA Updates...apparently not JF's ROMS are old flash the cyanogen's cupcake! So many goodies inside
That's what I thought too. After telling it off enough times it seems to have given up, so that should fix it for now, just hope that it doesn't come back.
I haven't heard of anyone loosing root from any OTA updates...think about it, it's the same as flashing a new ROM.
It will never go away as long as there's an update though, only when you actually do update. Google is picky like that!

To keep the phone from checking for new updates try:
Go to Settings>Security, then scroll to the bottom, click firmware download and tick never. Should do the trick tho I don't know for sure as I haven't ever been prompted.
Then again, you shouldn't be getting OTA updates at all, haha.

You lose root because the update replaces the boot image and other images which are the key thing that is needed for root access on your phone.
I'm selling my G1 and am demoing it for a potential buyer tomorrow. I've unrooted the phone and am back to 1.0. My question is whether it is possible to force an OTA update to the latest Android version 1.6? I've waited nearly 24 hours and haven't received any update from Tmobile. Is this typical? Is there any way to speed this process up? I'd like to demo the cool features of 1.6 if I can.

It takes up to 3 days after a phone has been activated to receive the newest update

Damn. Is there any way to manually apply the update without root access?

Thank you, Gentlemen. Updating as we speak.
This does NOT belong on Development.
Moved.
I flashed back to RC29 and then upgraded to 30, and finally 33. I am now sitting on RC33 and when I check for updates it says none are available.
When I try to run "Radio_Dream_RC33_1_22_14_11.zip" as update.zip, also "G1OrigBootloader_nocheck.zip" they both give an error about being unsigned.
I am wondering if these two images not being flashed is causing me not to receive OTA? or is there something else wrong?
I want to get back to stock 1.6 TmoUSA
How did you upgrade to RC33? If you used anything from this forum - then it's not going to work as those are all unofficial roms and have update disabled in them.
Your best bet is to flash DREAIMG.nbh and check for update. That will get you to stock Donut.
Good luck.
Yes, I used DREAIMG.
Does it take a few days to pick up the OTA update though?
I recieved a notice for the 1.6 update last night.
I am all good now.
For the record, if anyone googles this thread, OTA updates go after a certain amount of time. Just because it says "no updates" in the check for updates field, just wait a few days and it will give you a notice.
Hey guys, so I have an unrooted & locked stock froyo N1 on FRF91. After I bought my phone, I manually updated to FRF85B, and then manually to FRF91 (too impatient to wait for froyo!). I tried searching the forums, but came up empty handed, so here are my questions!
I was just wondering if this would affect me receiving OTAs in the future and updating applications. For example, when the new Facebook and Twitter version came out I didn't get a notification and I couldn't update it through Marketplace, so I had to download them and install them through Marketplace to get the newest version. However, I can automatically update applications such as Google Maps and Google Voice. Does me manually upgrading have to do anything with this?
Also, I saw a new version named "FRF91-UP" floating around the forums, was this an OTA upgrade? I know it contains the new Gmail application as well as the new Facebook and Twitter app as well, and if it was a OTA upgrade, I never got it . Is there something I have to do to start getting these OTAs if it is an OTA? Or is this a leaked update?
Sorry for so many questions, I'm still learning how to use android to its full capacity ! And thanks in advance to whoever can help me out!!
From what i read, YES, your full stock, long as you got Stock recovery you will receive OTA's from whoever sends them, some Updates require to do a manual update.. i did the manual update too and all my apps get auto update, and i get notifications too, jus like everything else you can try do a recovery(stock) wipe/factory reset.. this might help in some way..
a buddy did this 2 days ago and he got some features that where there b4, he waited for the OTA's,then again i dont think he was really looking.. Lol
and i never heard of any FRF91-UP or seen anything around.. if anything i would have heard from my friend that has waited and all
Edit-
I just googled FRF91-UP this is for rooted phones.. if anything the pulled the update gmail and whatever else and ported it to whatever phone
Is there a way to stop my Droid from updating OTA to FroYo? I have flashed my Droid over to Cricket and have Bugless Beast v0.4 installed, and now since the 2.2 OTA update has been released I get a constant notification that the update is available. The only options I get are to install now or to install later, but what if I don't want to install it all and just get rid of the pesky notification that keeps popping up every so often after I press install later. I already have 2.2 on my system with Bugless Beast so I'm not really missing out on anything. I don't want to update and have to reroot, reinstall Bugless Beast, and reflash my Droid to Cricket again. I'm happy where my system is at
If you have a custom recovery, then as soon as you reboot into the installation your phone thinks that you've accepted, but the custom recovery blocks the installation and you stay on BB.
What do you mean by reboot into installation?
I've booted into clockwork recovery and then restarted the phone, but nothing seemed to change. Is that what you meant to do?
Flash SPRecovery. Then select "install now". It will send a notification that it has been installed on your phone to the servers that send out the OTA but SPRecovery will block the installation of it onto your phone, thus stopping the notifications of an update and keeping you on BB v.04 w/ Cricket. You can flash back to CW Recovery if you want to afterwards.

Im also running BB.04 and got the OTA notification today. Glad I found this thread because I was starting to get worried. I clicked 'install now', rebooted and so far no notification and I am still on BB.04. Woot!
Thank you for this!
Running BB 0.4. I saw the verizon 2.2 Froyo upgrade this morning, and for a second I was psyched verizon finally pushed it out... then I was a little worried about what was going to happen to mine since it was rooted and running a 2.2 Rom I was already happy with. Just like this thread says, I clicked install, and the phone rebooted right back up to my BB 0.4 without any issues.
I'd hate to say I'm a leech, but you guys have so much information here, and I cannot stop reading lol. I commend everyone one of you Devs for all the work you do!
Thank you again,
-Dano
Yup, it worked perfectly! Thank you!
Interesting. I was able to block it the first time but it popped up again. Anyone know why? Maybe there is another update to the 2.2 OTA update?
I was having the same issue with the ota update until I came across this:
http://www.peteralfonso.com/2010/08/how-to-stop-ota-notifications-on.html#more
it says it is for Buggles rom but I am using a different rom and it worked just fine
I had received this notification about four times before it recognized that I'm updated without rebooting the phone for it to be blocked. Nothing else had to be done except for saying yes.
stephen730 said:
whatchoo mean able to block it? You mean you clicked install later? Or you let it run and it goes away?
If you let it run/fail it will just come back again a day later, a week later, next time you reboot, next time you come out of screen off, etc... Its done it to me and it sucks cause it won't go away number 1, and number 2, i hate to keep rebooting to fail and possibly missing calls/texts... especially when you first wake up and the message is there like a nagscreen or advert.

I clicked install now and my recovery image blocks the installation when rebooted. It shows the Android guy with the exclamtion point but it doesnt finish the install. Reboot then im back to the way I was. Im running BBv.4 btw. I havent got another prompt yet.
