So I just got a notification from ATT saying that there is a software update available. Has anyone else gotten this and installed it? Is it jelly bean or a minor update? I haven't tried it myself because I am rooted.

Yes just got it I'm Rooted & S-OFF
it won't be jelly bean since the ONE X series doesn't have it yet haha just a minor I bet
Can someone detail this update?
*Edit* Called AT&T the Update was released October 9th it an 13mb update so yea Minor the girl
on the phone was talking to fast for me to listen what it offers
Got it last night. Android version did not change. Couldn't tell for sure if any other numbers updated. It wouldn't kill AT&T to send out an e-mail or text message telling us what the update was for.
got the same thing i have no idea what is the update
Update has my phone stuck in a darn boot loop..any idea what it is?
Sorry bludiamond.
Since my phone is rooted, I did not want to install this update. It's quite upsetting that AT&T forces the update unconditionally.
Anyway, I had let the download to complete, but did not let it to install. The update did prompt me, whether I want it to install now, or later. I had opted for later.
Then, after some Googling, I had deleted the download (from /sdcard/Download), and had un-installed the following services: com.htc.demoflopackageinstaller and com.smithmicro.dm.
Then, I've rebooted the phone. Afterwards, the phone still had a notification, that there's an update ready to be installed. When, selecting the notification, updater did realize that the downloaded file is gone, and had prompted me whether or not I'd like to download the update again, on which, I had responded no. The notification is gone, and AT&T did not prompt me to download and install the update again, at least not yet.
My phone seems to be OK.
I was hoping for a new Radio/RIL. That's not what this is...
New Kernel & Recovery. If you are rooted and on a custom rom Do Not run the update. I'm sure the developer of the rom you are on will work to add anything useful to future updates.
The dates on these files is 7/27/12 so it took At$t over to months to test & release.
To delete it look in /cache/fota/OTAPkg.zip
Once gone you shouldn't be bothered by it anymore.
Have anyone successfuly downloaded and installed it?
What's new? Bluetooth bugs fixes? Usable Voice Dialer? Better battery life?
Sense 4.0?
Please comment.

Think the majority of users on here are rooted and running custom roms so they wouldnt' be installing this.
I forgot I was unlocked and rooted. Now I am really stuck. How do I get out of the dead Android loop?
I googled the update, and found this on the ATT Support website.
Beginning on October 9, 2012, AT&T and HTC have released an additional software update for the HTC Vivid that will be available via firmware over-the-air (FOTA). This 13MB software package updates the firmware version to 3.26.502.56_R23 and improves sensor performance.
NOTE: Customers must have a data SOC in order to obtain any FOTA updates. Customers who have a data opt-out SOC are not able to receive FOTA updates.

I had the looping issue too. I cleared the cache once and rebooted. Received a message that there was a problem with the update and to wait for the next update. Phone seems to be okay since.
I'm unlocked s/on..no custom rom..it was so early, I must have hit the wrong button, so I'm stuck in the loop and can't seem to get into recovery either..ugh
I'm stock - not rooted. I did do the download without any problems, although you do have to manually reboot after the update.
It supposedly improves the sensor. Not sure what that means, but that's what the ATT website says. Other than it changing my default ringtone, I don't see any difference.
Could not get it out of the loop. Took it to the service center and neither could they..they ended up replacing it under warranty..thank goodness. Said that another lady came in with the same issue as well.
AT&T Upgrade to Nowhere
I'm running stock on the HTC Vivid and got this upgrade pushed out by AT&T. This is the second AT&T upgrade I've done on this phone (the first was to ICS not long after I got the phone).
I ran the update yesterday, which force rebooted my phone and I watched as the upgrade downloaded and installed, then came back up.
NOTHING has changed. I don't know what AT&T supposedly upgraded, but it's certainly nothing noticeable.
I didn't even get the "3.26.502.56_R23" software designation that the AT&T help article says I was supposed to see.
It was literally an upgrade to nowhere. Not sure why I wasted time off the grid and battery power on it.
As usual-- AT&T fail.
At least no harm was done.
I was rooted, stock ROM, and got the notification yesterday. I postponed as much as I could but it finally wouldn't let me anymore and I let it try to update.
Of course, went into a boot loop. I did eventually get the boot looping to stop by reflashing the wxc recovery image and CWM-root, but then my wifi wouldn't work. I suspected some difference in the kernel version or some other borking of the update.
Long story short, I had to re-lock, go back to stock, and re-unlock and root again. Then spend the time (ongoing) to get my environment back. Thank goodness for Titanium backup pro and Dropbox. LOL.
Wish I could bill AT&T for the 18 hours I've spent. And if they push it to me again, I'll be irritated.

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.
Hi! Does anyone have this problem? When I go to System Updates it gets me a message that reads "Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later". I know the update is not realease yet but I'm concerned that if something is wrong. I tried with 3g and Wifi and it's the same. I rooted my phone and uninstall some apps from Verizon. Could this be the problem?

You just answered your own question.
Nope, I did'nt because on the other hand when I had a Motorola Droid 2 when I went to System Updates the message was different: "your device is updated, there's no other update available". What I meant is... The Droid 2 checks for updates even if aren't available, but the Droid 3 don't search, just says that it can't check.
Just wait a few moments and press check for update again, this usually checks properly, no idea why, mine does it too.
being rooted and especially missing some of the Verizon bloatware could certainly hamper your ability to update.
I also had this issue, multiple attempts to start the update immediately (and I mean no delay) came back with the same error.
I just manually ran the leaked OTA instead since it's been confirmed as the 'real deal'.

My D3 says, "You Device is up to Date! No update is necessary at this time."
I'm rooted and multiple bloat apps uninstalled(didn't know about Freezing prior).
I don't think it has anything to do with root. My girlfriends d3 isn't rooted and it tells her its up to date as well and our builds are the same. I think its verizon.

Yeah same, mines rooted, multiple apps frozen, with the "leaked/soaked" OTA update, and it says "You Device is up to Date! No update is necessary at this time.".
While rooted and having bloat killed the phone should download the update. It will just fail to install, because the update checks for system changes.
Where exactly did someone confirm the ota is the same as the "leak"? OTA isn't out yet, so I want to read the confirmation info myself.
The last time I flashed a leak (htc eris) I was stuck on a leak while everyone who was patient received the final release version OTA. We didn't get access to the latest stuff until roughly a month after those who waited.
Just curious, don't want to make the same mistake twice. Lol.

After rooting I deleted all of the AT&T and Facebook software. I note that the AT&T Software Update check button remains under Phone Settings, but more disturbingly was a pop-up this morning stating that AT&T Update was checking for updates! Fortunately I happen to be in a wifi-only area right now -- no cell coverage so the "network is not available".
So far Google has NOT been my friend. Is anyone aware of a switch to fully disable or script to remove this? Thanks! --Larry
Assuming you've flashed a custom recovery image, then when it asks to install the update, just "let it". It will reboot the phone into the recovery, and you can immediately cancel. The phone will never prompt you to update after that even though you're still on the old version.

But if doesn't find an update & reboot to recovery, will it simply keep searching (& using battery)?
I rebooted and the popup hasn't returned, but I still would like to disable/remove the whole thing.

Because I can't leave well enough alone (& with "zips" deleted & other AT&T apps deleted) since I couldn't remove it, I pressed the "AT&T Software Update" button in Settings. Surprisingly, after a brief search the phone began to download an update! I forced an immediate reboot to recocery and did a backup restore to insure it was stopped.
Question: As I am running build 1.08.502.1 CL180011, Baseband version 1.15.40.00.13_2_10.64.40.33AL what is this update trying to do and should I let it try to install. I certainly do not want to impact my s-off, root, or deodexed ROM.
Thanks.
Not sure what this is yet. Non rooted, stock image.
5.1.1?? Will report back...
Not 5.1.1
No idea as they haven't posted changelog, but hopefully a fix for MicroCell issues everyone is experiencing.
Let us know if you see any changes.
Update downloaded.
Real upgrade from OE2 to OF3. Thats all it says.
@Globalrebel where are you looking for change logs?
Update just finished. Yeah Android version is still 5.0.2. Baseband G925AUCU2AOF3 now.

This is getting ridiculous, we need an update from 5.0.2, the memory issues I'm dealing with even on XtreStoLite are almost unbearable
Exactly and as updates for 5.1 come out for other carriers we get updates for random att crap that are almost a month old

They know because it says on the Ping Pong Root thread not to update for anything past May 15th as the method for root has been patched
I'm curious if there are any other undocumented changes besides the 2 official changes listed earlier. It feels like a fairly big patch for a fix to an phone location and a kernel security fix.

AT&T Software Update is the main one, but there are a few others - I don't have an AT&T ROM on mine right now to help out, but it's been posted a few times already (I think I even posted those once)
Just freeze att software update. Then it can't even run so no downloads. I got lucky I clicked on update after reading it in Android central but didn't want to install it. Postponed couple of times but somehow it automatically loaded the update process. I was like sh#t. When it booted up it said a problem updating. And then I blocked the updater. My root almost gone lol

Hi,
I'm French and I 'very got a stock nexus 6.
I have the 5.1.1 android (LMY48T) and as I noticed a notification about 6.0 I started the update.
After few minutes, the update was DLed and a rebootr was announced... But nothing.
I waited for a bit.
And tried to shut-off the phone for a manual reboot... Now I'm still in 5.1.1, and when I check the update it's says that my phone is up-to-date..
Any help?
Thanks for reading.

Happened to me too on my Nexus 6
Thanks for the contribution, did you find any piece of information anywhere else?
no not at all :/
Bummer...
hello gregaste
i can confirm the exact same problem downloaded the ota and pressed restart and install and nothing happened it its telling me ur device is up to date ! i hope somone can help us
Are you rooted? Not sure what "very stock" means. OTAs will fail if you are.
Had the same thing happen to me. Twice. Got a replacement N6 last week and I was letting all the OTAs go through before unlocking the bootloader and rooting. When I got the 6.0 update notification I let it download. After rebooting it didn't update and when I checked system update it saif I was up to date despite still being on 5.1.1. Then, for fun, after returning my original Nexus to stock I decided to let the 6.0 update download. After rebooting I was still on 5.1.1 and again it said I was up to date. Very weird. I got impatient and flashed the factory images.
I'm stock, and i'm not sure about my first message, but I'm positive that "very stock" is an auto-correct fail...
I phone to Google android help yesterday, and a guy told me something like "s-h1t happens" more polite though, and that I should wait for another notification... let's hope.
Happened to me as well. Once the ota is downloaded, give time to the phone to restart itself in recovery, it takes about 10 mintutes to go into recovery and dont interfere with soft reset.

That may have been the October security download. After getting Marshmallow on my N5 and N9 weeks before, I got that update notice, downloaded it, rebooted and noticed the old Lollypop boot animation. I thought the update didn't get applied and never got another notification. I later ran Stagefright Detector and noticed that the two latest CVEs were remediated. So I'm still waiting for Android 6 for my Nexus 6.

I went from LYZ28J to LYZ28K with that update. I believe T-Mobile and Sprint are on different forks of Lollypop.
