Guys if there is an update for the 8.9 can you simply update over the air on wifi or do you have to update via a pc download?
Not checked my firmware version yet but suspect its not the latest version of honeycomb.
Ta.
I've only updated via PC i.e. using Kies but the option is there in settings.
just go to Settings > About device and hit Software update. you must have a google account and a samsung account and a working wifi connection. that's it
Thanks.
80% through my update now.
So easy only take few mins. :-D
I was pushed the KK update for TMo HTC one. The update was dowloaded, after that it verifies the contents of the firmware. It is failing saying "Download is corropted' and asks to dowload again. I downloaded it 3 times , everytime i am getting the same error. I soft reseted the phone and checked and downloaded again. No luck.
Later i killed the 'updater' app and cleared its app cache (some 20kb of data was there) via the setting-> apps-> All- > Updater. Now the in setting when i check for the update it dosen't show me the 4.4 update available
Is there any way by which i can update it via the PC ? I could not find any tool from HTC for it, sync manager dosen't do firmware update.
P.S : Phone is on 4.3 , never rooted, no custom roms. Just network unlocked via network code from T-MObile.
Thanks !!

Nope, there is no way you can update via PC. The only update method is OTA. Backup your data and do a full reset. Then try installing the OTA
So when I downgraded back to oreo before I had chance to go into the software update settings and turn off auto update it has already downloaded the update ready to install.
Now I have the annoying notification which keeps prompting me to update.
Is there a way to get rid without rooting?
If not I'll have to factory reset and change the setting before it updates.
The only way is unfortunately to factory reset and make sure to disable the auto update
Did you try installing "Package Disabler" and then disabling "Software Update" (two apps with the same name) ?

Package Disabler Pro works for me!
I just wiped and re flashed. Then turned off automatic updates. But I think I will disable the package too. Thanks guys

So i've tried all of the solutions to getting GMS and not had any luck so far unfortunantly.
I've gathered from various forum threads that i need to downgrade from build 11.0.0.168 to something like 10.0.0.xxx, before i can use Googlefier
I can't get HiSuite 10.0.0.510_OVE to work (Get an error on my phone about the app needing location permission, which i can't toggle on anywhere), so i am using HiSuite 11.0.0.510_OVE instead as instructed in a youtube video i found.
I get the software installed on PC+Phone and press "Update" and get no error messages, only a note that i am using the latest version.
Then i run the proxy as described in:
Googlefier - Install GMS on Huawei/Honor
Wecome to Googlefier, After a successful tool for LG G2 and LG G3 owners (AutoRec), but after a long pause, here is something new and I hope useful Googlefier is a simple tool, designed to help you install GMS on your Huawei/Honor device...
forum.xda-developers.com
The proxy runs fine seemingly,
HiSuiteProxy.PNG
drive.google.com
But when i press update now i get the "No internet connection. Please check your network Settings." Error.
I can't find many posts about this issue when i google, except this one:
[SOLUTION] hisuite no internet connection
maybe usefull to someone , guys im trying to rollback my mate 10 to previous emui version using hisuite in windown10 , but it keep pop up "no internet connection" message . trying to find solution everywhere but cant seems to find any solution ...
forum.xda-developers.com
I've tried everything suggested there with no luck. I don't have any anti-virus installed except Windows, and i disabled that entirely for this.
Any ideas on how to fix the "No internet connection" issue would be greatly appreciated.
i get a little bit different problem here, im trying to downgrade my P40 Pro ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.166 to ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.131 using hisuite + hisuite proxy combination, hisuite proxy run fine without problem, but when i try to check update from hisuite, it's always show "you're now using the latest official version" without "switch to another version" options.
I already try hisuite from different version (10.1.0.550, 10.0.0.510, 10.0.1.100), and try hisuite proxy from different version (1.8.8(latest), 1.8.6, and bender007 modification), but the result always same, it's always showing "you're now using the latest official version".
this is the steps I already taken to run hisuite proxy before running hisuite:
1. open hisuite proxy
2. fill the Packaget URL box with ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.131 firmware url from firmware finder, fill the the version box with ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.131 string from firmware finder; (in another test, i try to fill cust pkg, preload pkg and the version string, tick point version, tick CUST PKG box, tick Preload PKG)
3. patching httpcomponent in hisuite folder
4. run setup
5. open hisuite and connect the phone
but, whatever steps I try, hisuite always show that "you're now using the latest official version" message everytime I checking system update on hisuite
Note:
1. hisuite connection setting already ticked on proxy as the hisuite proxy recommended (127.0.0.1, port 7777)
2. already check host file, and it's normal, no hicloud whatsoever
3. no antivirus installed
4. already set windows firewall off
5. already try from different PC
maybe someone can help me too fixing this issue here?

I managed to downgrade from EMUI 11 to EMUI 10 without using Proxy now aswell, so i'm down to 10.1.0.176 which is a step in the right direction. But now i run into the exact same issue as you describe "You're now using the latest official version"
After downgrading to 176 version i could actually use the memory card method which hadn't worked before. Got everything installed now, working perfectly (no notifications yet though).
Oh the joy!
I can't find any x.131 firmware on firmware finder and old links all are dead.
someone has a solution for this?

congrats dude, I want to try to dload downgrade my device too, but I'm afraid bricking my device if its wrong flashing firmware
can u tell me what firmware did you use? is was just base package firmware? or with cust and preload package?
I had the same issue, could downgrade to 176 using HiSuite then I used the OTG recovery with a firmware I was able to download. Version 121 (els-nx9-10.1.0.121(C432E8R5P2)) as my phone is a C432. Worked like a charm, an OTG adapter is only a couple of £/$ Mine cost £5 for two from Amazon.

What do you mean stuck on c636? c636 is only the region spesification. It has nothing to do with software/firmware. Only thing you need to check is that the software i compatible to your region. 636,432 etc....
Maybe this could help...
I came from 11.0.0.168. I reset my phone and am now running 10.1.0.134 software (432 region) Here is what i did:
1. use hisuite 11 to downgrade to 10.1.0.176.
2. use hisuite 10.x.x.550OVE and firmwarefinder on PC to downgrade to 10.1.0.134 (131)
3. Got error with hisuite proxy (No internet connection)
4. Remember to restart computer after change from hisuite 11 to husuite 10.
5. Now i got "You are using the latest software"
6. Use the register for proxy in firmwarefinder (at the top bar)
7. Update your computer's network connection with the correct DNS from firmware finder.
8. Now hisute proxy/firmware finder should work as before and all the files are there without error.
9. Download over the net with proxy.
10. Voila. 10.1.0.134 is installed.
11. Start from scratch with GMS (googlefier or manual)
(i did manual and use the indonesian file after donating to get no errors and notification even after restart. )
12. A fully working P40 Pro inc. GPS, GMS, Notification, Playstore and no error.
Only Google pay not working due to cts profile "false". Can only be fixed with root.
Hope this help some of you guys.
PS! After updating the correct DNS in your network card og router all the files in firmwarefinder works normally like before.
Stay safe
I successful passed steps 7 and 8.
7. Update your computer's network connection with the correct DNS from firmware finder.
8. Now hisute proxy/firmware finder should work as before and all the files are there without error.
After that HiSuite offers me the wished update (10.1.0.117). When I click update and confirm the privacy settings HiSuite wants to start the update progress by downloading the firmware. I then get an error message that there is no internet connection and the update is aborted.
I tried to play around with the proxy and DNS settings, but no success. Is it because the Team MT downloads are down? Or can anyone else help me with this?

Thank you for your quick reply. I will try again, but these DNS settings didn't work so far. I changed the IP4 settings in the windows options -> network adapter.

I tried everything now, multiple computers, changing DNS on the network settings in windows and in the router. Nothing works. Once in between HiSuite offers me the right update, but whenever the download is initiated the connection fails. Anyone has more good hints? Because I am running out of ideas.
I have ordered a OTG cable just in case I cannot make it work. But that still leaves me with the task to find a firmware to download. I thought of the JNY-LGPR2-OVS 10.0.1.136 or 10.0.1.117. Where can I find these?
Has anyone had problems with your phone's hotspot after updating to Android 13 on ZenFone 8?
I also did a factory reset, but it didn't help.
The signal is very weak and even if you connect another device, this then can not navigate because it is internet not available.
Back to Android 12 the problem disappears.
Did you have the same problem and how did you solve it? Thank you.

I just updated to Android 13 on my Zenfone 8 today, and the hotspot settings just disappeared (at least if I navigate through the settings). If i search all settings, I can find them, but trying to turn it on does nothing.
I wonder if this is an Asus problem or an AT&T (my carrier) problem.

I did all the tests, even the hard reset, nothing to do. I also tried to change mobile operator sim. It's just a bug in Android 13.
I asked Asus support, but they didn't give any answer.
Downgraded to Android 12 and that's the only way it works.

Two questions...
1. How did you try to get help from Android support? I was thinking of trying their phone support.
2. How did you downgrade? Is there a way to do with without wiping my phone and without rooting? I found a few guides about it online and they all seemed to require wiping the phone.

Oh, and also it's now taking about 7 minutes to register on the at&t network (as opposed to instantly in Android 12). How could they possibly have let this release into the wild?

Write to Asus support, you can find it on the official page. If you have registered your product, put all the data related to model and serial, only then they will move to find a solution to this bug.
For downgrade, you will always find in the support page for your model the firmware to download. Once downloaded, enter it in the internal folder of the phone and you will see that the update notification appears above.
Click and install. Obviously you lose all the data, because it resets to the factory state.

Thanks for the info. It wasn't obvious to me about the phone resetting - for all i knew, Asus might have an intelligent downgrade process that preserved the user data. Too bad they don't.

I also had this issue of the hotspot function disappearing after the Android 13 update. I followed the step to downgrade to 12. This worked, but before I could finish setting up my phone again, it was already automatically updating to 13. I reinstalled 12, and waited to connect to wi-fi to get things restored. Shortly after connecting to wi-fi again, the 13 update started again. I paused the update and then enabled developer options and disabled automatic system updates there, but I am not able to disable auto-updates in the regular system update settings. Is root required to disable this menu option? I have not rooted my phone and would prefer not to, if possible. Any suggestions?
Edit: So far, the phone hasn't resumed the auto-update overnight or following a couple restarts of the phone. The notification remains and I occasionally get prompts to continue the paused update, but I am able to ignore them. I guess I can live with it as is, but if anybody has any other ideas, please share. Thanks.
Edit: Today, I woke to find that the 13 update has downloaded and will install on reboot. I rebooted and let it complete the update to 13. Then, I downgraded to 12 once again. This time around, the option to disallow automatic updates was not greyed-out in system update settings. I disallowed auto-updates. The notification saying the update to 13 is available remained, this time, I was able to dismiss it. I don't know what to think about the previous issues I had, but it seems to have resolved it now.

I didn't see the Andorid 13 update even before the downgrade, I searched for it and installed it if I wanted it.
Adding to my posts above from February 18:
I was able to remain on Android 12, retaining the Wi-Fi hotspot functionality, until this morning. I awoke to find a software update notification message, giving two options: update or later. The message also stated that if I pressed later, it would continue with the update in 30 minutes. I rebooted the phone, and the update notification returned, however, lacking the 30 minute warning. A short while later, the phone began to automatically download the update, despite the option in settings disallowing auto-updates being ticked. I force-stopped the system update app, and it stopped downloading the new update. After a short while, it completed the android 13 system update download anyway. I decided to give the 13 update a try again, seeing that there was a smaller update added to the Asus Bios and Firmware download page on March 16th. I proactively backed up my data, knowing that I would likely need to downgrade to 12 again shortly to regain hotspot functionality. I rebooted to apply the base 13 update; no hotspot functionality, as expected. I then downloaded and applied the March 16th (WW-33.0210.0210.269) update OTA; still no hotspot functionality. I plan to downgrade again to Android 12, but I question how long I will be able to use it before another automatic update to 13 is forced upon me by Asus. Does anyone have any advice as to how to activate the hotspot on 13 or a way to guarantee that 12 will not be auto-updated to 13?
Edit: For anyone who might be having the same issue, here is what I have tried and so far, seems to be working. After downgrading to 12, I did not connect to internet during the initial phone setup process. When I did, the phone would already start automatically downloading the 13 update even before the setup process was finished. After setup, I immediately disabled automatic updates both in the regular system settings and in developer options (after enabling these, of course). I find it interesting that before, even with these two settings to disallow automatic updates in use, the automatic update would begin. The only other step I took this time was to disable my system app for system updates per the following method. https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
I understand that this method is likely used more for added bloatware than for system apps, and I questioned at first if it would even work for a system app. Still, after disabling the system update app, it shows "disabled" under its entry in the complete app list in settings, and the system update options in the settings menu are not visible anymore. The main "system" header in the settings menu does show a red dot with "1" indicating that there is something available within the submenu, but as stated there is nothing within pertaining to system updates since disabling the system update app. So far, there have been no other notifications for the 13 update as before. This system update app is easy to reenable, as shown in the link above, so if I want to download the system update later on, it is no problem. I will add to this post if this method fails, but so far, so good.
