Had a weird one last night.
Was bored so tried Pie again ota. Still can't use it daily as need bank app. So reverted back ota and set everything up with my apps. I also unsubscribed from the dev preview in the hope the update would come through. Waited 4 hours but nothing (nokia still blame carrier, country, dogs etc) so decided to sideload.
Was up to August again then I checked my phone only to find that it was reloading via ota again to the july patch build.
Of course wiped everything again.
Did I jump to quick or has anyone else had this issue?
I've had this issue as well. I decided going to Pie would be easier. I believe the only way around this is not to manually flash the Oreo security patches, but to wait for their OTAs.
Oddly enough, worked fine last week. Maybe I needed to wait for it to settle. Still waiting for the August update. But nokia keep blaming carriers etc. May try again later. Good job I love tinkering
Tried to sideload again and seems to be settled this time.

Here's a new one, at least for me...when I hit my system update check button in about phone, my Bionic is spitting out
"check for update is not available
at this time.
Try again later,"
Has anyone else ever seen this message? It looks like its happening on 4G or wifi, haven't forced 3g and tried yet.
Usually I expect the "Your phone is up to date" message, but this one's new to me.
I'm bone stock, btw...no rooting yet.
I got that a few times yesterday and then tried again 10min later and it ran the check successfully but didn't find an update. When I ran the check for updates this morning it found the update and downloaded/installed successfully.
Well, that's encouraging I suppose...every time I think I really like this phone, something like this pops up...ugh, I want bionic speed and HP, but with my OG droid and droid X's "it just works" reliability.
I think the only reason you're seeing this error is because the servers are under a very heavy load pushing out the updates. I never saw this error before yesterday. But I'm with you on the frustration factor. I'm on my 4th Bionic now, if I continue to get the black screen of death, random reboots, or data connection issues, I'm going to do whatever I can to get a different phone. I've never had to return a phone to Vz before this model, nor I have ever spent so much on a phone. I certainly don't feel like I'm getting what I paid for. How this phone made it thru user testing with these issues blows my mind.
I had been getting that message ever since I replaced my SIM a couple months ago. I figured it wouldnt interfere with me getting any OTA's, but last night I decided to do a factory reset to see if that cleared it up. Low and behold i hit system updates and it said my system was up to date. An hour or so later I did it again and I got the update!
Good to know. I read a thread somewhere, I think it pertained to battery issues, and someone suggested that when you first take the phone out of the box the first thing you should do is a factory reset b/c it helps with overall performance. I don't know if there's any truth to that but that's what I've done on all of my replacement Bionics and I do perceive there to be some improvement. I don't know if it was necessary but I ran the reset after receiving the OTA today too just to rule that out if I have issues going forward - that's the first thing tech support makes you do when you have problems from my experience anyway.
I've been getting that message a lot too when checking for the update. I got the update today and it installed fine. Still have the data drops though. VERY frustrating.
One think I HAVE noticed with this update is that the battery stats are completely reversed. It used to be the display was down in the 3-5% region, as well as the Android OS. Now, those 2 are at the top, and my phone has just been laying on my desk most of the day.
I am not rooted. I've been getting that message since I got the phone in October. It only happens when I am on 3G. I haven't checked it on 4G (don't live near one) and it says "...up to date" when I am on WiFi.

I am getting frustrated... I have been getting the same error for three days now. I am rooted, but am on 5.5.886 and everything still the same. My partner is still original stock, and he's getting the same errors as well. Perhaps this is a regional thing? Anyone in the DC area get the update rolled out to them?
Additionally, can I just flash the update file that is posted here on the forums to upgrade manually? Or should I just wait?
Works!
I was getting the same "check for updates not available at this time" message, however I rebooted (used Quickboot, battery pull is not necessary). After the reboot went back to "Check for upgrade" and it worked; BUT just like the previous upgrade the process checks your file system and if you removed/altered any bloatware then it will fail and reboot. After the first time, I decided instead to create a folder "bloatware" in the system direction and move all bloatware apps to that folder. So this time around all I had to do was move all the bloatware back to the "app" folder in one shot. Very easy and straight forward (I also wrote down the bloatware apk filenames so I didn't forget that I moved over last time). Tried the update again, installed just fine, and phone is up and running.
AND....root is INTACT!
Btw...I had no idea there was a new update available until my friend who just got a new Bionic said he's having problems rooting on software v5.9.902
I noticed the lack of a positive feedback page, to just say what you like. Mods, do whatever you want, I don't care, this is my first post.
My awesome experience:
Today, after a month of off-time, I decided to turn my tablet back on and look to fix the SoD issue it had (it appeared to be a bad app on Link2SD). So after running it through updates and a spring cleaning, I updated Xposed stuff. After the update, I tried a mod that just didn't like me. After the reboot, I got myself in a *wonderful* bootloop. On an abandoned Chinese tablet, with stock recovery, I thought it was hopeless, since last time, the recovery Disabler did not work. I hooked it up to ADB to try and recover it. After a few Google searches, I found the rapid-click fix in the recent update. I tried it, and then after a few seconds, my tablet roared to life.
That was my tablet's 7th life. I decided to disable Xposed for now, and start anew.
Thank you, devs!
Just got the watch couple days ago (got the AT&T $150 deal). The watch comes with old 4.4w1 and of course a lot of functionalities are missing, can't even download new watchfaces. Then I read up on xda and thought that I have to update the rom manually all the way from 4.4w1 to 5.1.1. I was struggling with that, installing adb, usb drivers etc. And while I was stuck last night at some point in the process, suddenly the watch says new update available. And then a couple updates in succession brought it all the way up to 5.1.1. And what's more, just now, I was reading on the new update LCA44B coming to us soon, and boom, watch says it's ready to update to that. So, now I am on the latest, with WiFi and (probably other new stuff). So cool.
God I want this update so badly. I've been spamming the Check For Updates option for the last 4 hours, seeing lots of people getting the OTA, but so far no love for me yet.
Update: Received my OTA notification about 5 minutes after posting this. Flashing update to watch now. So excited.
And then I update it and then like next week it's another update. This has been going on for three weeks yet even though it's a security update, in the about device menu, the device security is still dated to January. What's going on here?

I had a similar problem with my S5, I finally did a factory reset on it and it updated for real, and a lot of other apps suddenly updated. It was a pain getting it set up again, but I'm glad I did.
Alright guys.
I must admit,, I was ready to give up on this phone. After owning several very high spec phones, for their years , I found myself having to get a "budget " one.
This phone was the worst I had used. Constant slow down to the point of waiting 20 seconds for an app to even bring up keyboard, battery useless, all after the 8.1 update. However not the case now. How? Well . .
My phone went into a bootloop of just showing "no command". I sent it to Nokia repair, in Hungary, via DHL. for a 5 day turn around repair. I got back the same exact phone. They had put on 7.1.2, as the factory restore image I guess. I debated about updating to 8.1 then took the plunge and did so - a big 1.8GB update. Then, to my amazement, it installed - one after the other - all security updates up to November 1 2018. I previous hadn't had any since May. Took quite a while. Reboot for each one, etc. After November went on I rebooted, and then did a reset to factory via recovery.
This phone has a new lease of life. Seriously no slowdown, multiple apps, vastly increased battery life (granted it's only been 2 days, but still you can tell it will be), the speed is vastly, vastly improved and is something that I was not expecting.
So, maybe we should all get our phones a bit cranky (get them in a boot loop), make sure it's in warranty and send it for repair. One thing I have noticed is that they put on the default stock WW rom (which was not the case previously). That, I assume, is what has resulted in a new lease of life - and updates - for the phone.
Thanks
It worked for me, expect that i didn't brought my phone to Nokia service.
I did noticed that the phone was really really slow even just on opening apps, it's a nightmare that considering there are phones cheaper than this and just works fine with apps.
They said that the updating to oreo will make it slow in some cases, i can't tell due to when i bought the phone, i immediately updated to Oreo
So i stopped the security updates from July cause i wanted root so bad that i was even planning to downgrade the thing, reasons are both i want the old speed back to this phone and root access.
But after i saw this post, i was curious... So i updated the phone to the latest security patch. And now it works great!
I can even play PUBG really smooth (which I can't back then)
