[Q] Razr i - ota update failed or not? - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Can anyone shed some light on this. Was told by someone there was a new update out. I have a rooted phone.
I saw the update and failed to remember what version they said was out but just clicked update anyway.
Downloaded the update fine, said yes to install and it all seemed to go through fine.
The phone rebooted and it said android was upgrading.
And yet I haven't noticed any changed such as someone telling me chrome OS is the main browser now and yet I can't see that.
Checked the version and it shows 81.5.39001.XT890.Retail.en.GB.
I checked for an update and it said there is no update at present.
So confused. Did it update? And if not, how can I do this on a rooted phone?
Thanks a lot for any help.

It updated fine

Thanks Phil, I thought the latest update however was 81.5.39002. Could be wrong though.

Nope, that's the latest version.

Cheers. The main suprise I had was that it retained my root which I didn't expect.

You can always check the stickied thread I made for the latest OTA Update files, don't have to wait for them to be fully pushed.

You don't actually have 39001 GB in there yet.
EDIT - just seen it, sorry.

Thanks all, I just couldnt see any major difference that was all between the old and new firmware hence another reason why I was a bit confused.

Got the new Android 2.0.1 on my G1

Hey Guys, did anyone else get the update for the new android 2.0.1 notification on their phone.
I just got it and i started downloading it...
Really? post the log so we can get the download link
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/Makaveli6924_7/2009-12-29-144007.jpg
How do i get the log?
Why put this in this section?
why does it say for motorola droid??
This thread is putting my BS meter into overdrive. Of course, its also putting my stupidity meter into overdrive too LOL
~DM
That's why i posted my question here to see if anyone else got the notification, it's weird man.. what do you think is happening, i have a rooted phone also?
What rom did you have when you received the update notfication?
I have the first 1.6 root, i can't remember who made the rom.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/Makaveli6924_7/2009-12-29-153540.jpg
I might not too sure then. You could try it and see if it works and check if the camera works. Although I can't be held responsible if anything goes wrong. Try and look up on how to get a log so we can also get a link to the ota update.
Not really possible if you ask me. It's from Verizon, which shouldn't hit your phone unless you're on their network from what I understand and that isn't possible because Dreams don't support CDMA.
As for the update, it would be much larger than 10.2MB, which means what you're downloading is the update to go from 2.0 on a DROID to 2.0.1.

if he has root, he shouldn't be getting ota updates, should he?
it makes me suspicious because it gives the verizon site and refers to the phone as "your Motorola DROID"
I wouldn't touch that "update" with a 10ft pole! Either fake, he forced the download, or something seriously messed up is going on, but that does not look to be a legit update for the G1.

You can still get OTA updates with root, it just depends on what ROM you use. I believe very old CyanogenMOD and other ROMs had OTA still turned on.
OP - While you're posting pictures, can we see a picture from under Settings > About Phone? Be sure to include firmware version :]
My guess would be that his build.trout.prop has the droid fingerprint/keys/device id in it, or he is using a droid build.prop and he will most likely soft brick his device. I hope there is no radio update, so it doesn't get true bricked.

you're not supposed to be getting them. weird. i haven't gotten one ota update notification ever since i rooted. and that was more than a year ago. pre-cupcake.
Ok guys i got bad news, the stupid update didn't do anything to my phone. Once the download completed, I restarted the phone and still was running my rooted 1.6. Also I checked the system update and it is still shows the Android 2.0.1 update.

Are you sure you're running a 1.6 ROM?

Incredible OTA Update 1.65.605.2

Has anyone else received this update?
Not here.
Los Angeles, CA
lol figures once i get root an update starts rolling out, it probably enables wifi n like they released for the EVO today.
1.22.605.2 is the software version i have (rooted)
It adds 3G Mobile hotspot and fixes the signal issue, im in a pickle now though lol. cant remove superuser
Not exactly a pickle - just don't do the upgrade, wait for someone else to take the OTA download and make it root-safe.
where did you confirm this info as to what the update offers?
I guess i am confused, what would happen if we did the update with our rooted phones?
Nothing. Because with rooted phones you won't see the OTA Update...but if you were to manually upgrade without it being root proofed....you'd loose root.
Wait - weren't we already at 1.22.605.2? That's what rev I'm running, and I haven't taken an OTA since the first few days after launch.

Incredible OTA Update 1.65.605.2
I'm confused to, so if you are rooted, you won't see this update? or you will see it and if you do it, you lose root? I have the stock rom, which is what I thought disabled your OTA's is this an incorrect thinking?

The name of this post is Incredible OTA Update 1.65.605.2 so even though we are at 1.22.605.2 that is not 1.65.605.2
Thats the thing, i was rooted and did get the OTA update notifications, hit accept for the update by mistake. And the only reason why i confirmed that info is because i have it on my inc.
P.S sorry lol made a type in the title of the post, its 1.35.605.2
So if you updated as root, did you lose your Root? It is not guaranteed that you would loose it, just likely is all. I feel like they released it to break our Root, and nothing more... but maybe they fixed a few issues too... we have the same screen grounding issue the EVO had, and the recent update fixed theirs... but who knows...
EDIT: Posted an article to an outdated update. Oops...
so i assume you lost root?
Yes i did.
I haven't seen it yet. <-- OHIO
have you tried redoing root? did you loose recovery?
I havent tried redoing the root process again, but how is that going to work? isn't the root process based off of the original software? the baseband is different as well.
Haven't seen it yet either <-- Rhode Island
Didn't find any information on it either. Was their a "more info" link included with yours? as with other OTA updates. Changelog, etc.?
Better question would be, do you have a screen shot of your About Phone page (baseband, software version, etc.)
somebody who gets the update needs to upload the file so a dev can do something with it.

[Q] Update Woes!

I was hoping someone out there would be able to help me. I have been trying to find the related threads to aid my quest in updating my Motorola Razr I to Jelly Bean to no avail. The firmware is an orange gb one. I tried to install one I downloaded in a different thread. One that set my version to 81.5.31002.xt890.orange.en.gb but that didn't help.
The issue is I get the update in about phone > system updates. It downloads but fails to install. The update lists itself as the system version without the orange part in the firmware name. I spoke to Motorola who just said send it back in but I dont really want to spend 10 days or more without my handset especially now that I have tried to put a updated rom on it. I wondered if anyone had an update.zip or something I could run from recovery that would install the latest version. Or someone who could help / point me in the right direction of how to install an unbranded rom so I could try the update from that?
I love this phone but this kind of stuff is a real pain!
Thanks in advance

Fixed the issue myself. Needed to unlock the bootloader and root the phone to get it installed. I am hoping I can now close the bootloader or at least unroot the device! if you need help give me a shout and I can talk you through it.

I'm with you. Not going to apply it. Can't seem to get rid of the "software update is available" notification.... Any tricks for this?

The only thing that I know of is that it will not update if the battery is low. LOL. Other than that, I do not know how to stop it as I understand updates are forced after denying them 3 times. I could be wrong.

Got the notification this morning and denied it. Froze the OTA in Titanium Backup so it didn't try and apply the update later.
I tried to update, but I got an error saying my phone was suspected of being Rooted.
has anyone un-rooted and then installed the update and then rooted it again?
*********ALSO********** Could someone upload the new APN Settings ? either in this thread or a new one?
I'm rooted but stock and took the update fine and keep the root... Luck maybe?
Same here @yuckycool. It auto updated, but root persisted.
Auto update and kept root as well. Towelroot method everything else stock.

Update notification of marshmallow but no installation??

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.
Greg
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.

turn on your wifi, connect to wifi, then check if you are up to date.

So you had a second ota notification? How long after the first one who failed?

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.

Thank you for your input.
I'm not sure it's related to the secrity update though, because I was already up to date on this matter (LMY48T) , ain't I ?

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