Check out the manual posted on WPCentral. I did it myself, and can confirm that it works.
Yay for another duplicate thread...
BTW, I did it and my phone has been frozen for almost 30 minutes. Use at you own risk.

Just as always, sure. Worked great for me though.
And duplicate? Sorry, but I checked if there's another thread about this very topic and I didn't see any. My bad I didn't check every single thread about Mango if it contains a post about how to get the update without waiting.
Thanks! finally got my update that way
Come on, gang, you all can't be that impatient
The best thing to do is wait patiently and allow the system to do what it needs to do. If anyone doesn't get the update today or tomorrow, MS has said it can take up to 2 months for everyone to get it.
Be patient and don't screw up your phones.
If tricking zune allows you to update, then statistically there is no reason one person should get the mangos before anyone else. obviously there isn't a server issue if we can download it this way just fine... I'm sorry I've been waiting far too long. I didn't even do it for the post nodo update that 1.3 never got for what ever reason

Because that is mango.
If it is the RTM, forcing may not work to notice that.

It's 7.10, not 7.1, and that is the actual version number. 7.5 is the marketing name for the release.
I've tried over 50 times and all I get is this error : Can't check for updates right now. Please try again later. 80072EFF

I have no idea, but I doubt that. I was referring to the official update, which contains build 7.10.7720.68. If you are using a custom ROM, it may or may not contain all of the final Mango features.
Hi,
i just had a new ota from acer build: acer_a100_2.007.04
is there any changelog? or just an old OTA who just arrive to me? ^^
I believe that is a new OTA... no info to be found about it on the interwebs...

In fact i received 2 ota, first 233MO and the second 3Mo
We poor people here in Canada,,,we dont get any updates......I asked acer support Canada and about update release region schedule,and was told that it is set in Taiwan,,and that they have no idea ,who gets what when .
Wonder how this will effect rooted users?

Well there was a scheduled ICS update planned for shortly after Xmas. Could this be it? Have either of the two updates been flashed to the tab? I'm curious about the

I wonder if its the same exact 3.2.1 one i posted in the ROM section.
As I posted in another thread,when I was corresponding with acer support they told me that Canada was scheduled for the 3.21 update in late December or early January
So it is logical to assume that IF the ICS update comes in january ,,(and remember the only confirmation that there will be one,was from an acer rep in Poland.),that it will likely not come to regions such as Canada till april/may if ever
.
Please check "/cache/fota_dn/" before update!
check for what?? I dont seem to have a fota_dn folder anyway

That was meant for anyone whose receiving the OTA prompt. The OTA package is cached in that certain location before ur tab initializes the update, because once the update is applied, that package is deleted from that directory.
So....extract and copy the update before ur tab uses it, and then upload for everyone else to enjoy
Atleast, that's how I took it

At least the headphone/speaker bug is fixed.

3.2.1 seemed to fix the headphone bug, even the "unofficial" version from xda fixed it.
Good question, I am wondering as well.
Got the two updates in Ontario as well once I went back to 3.2.
Also in the Netherlands: at jan 2 installed 2.007.01 and 2.007.04.
The only difference I noticed is the market page layout; for me the old version was fine.

Started getting OTA notifications this morning. Rebooted into recovery and the notifications went away. Still on LG8. Am I missing anything substantial on LI3? Should I just wait for the official JB update? Thanks in advance.
Official JB release has yet to be officially announced with a date. So, I suggest you go ahead and update. At least you'll stop getting the notifications if you do.

Thanks for the reply, Naddict. Couple of questions:
-In order to update to LI3, is it as simple as going through the "System Update" utility in the settings?
-Is it safe to assume that once I update to LI3, I'll lose root?
-If so, how do I go about gaining root again? (It's been a while since I first rooted, so I'm unsure of the methods.)

yes you must be stock and have stock revocery and it will update no problem and yes you will lose root unless you use app like ota rootkeeper or just re root like you did the first time look at qbking77 video

Your thread is relevant to my question, so I'm hoping someone can help me, as well.
I'm new to android, and I've found that every time there is an OTA update, I cannot find ANY information on it. I received a notification to update today, as well, yet it doesn't tell me what changes will be made or what is being updated. Is this normal for android? I'm not exactly sure where to look for this information, since hitting "more info" tells me nothing.
Not trying to invade on your post, but I'm thinking you might know the answer to this.
Thanks!

OTA's are manufacturer specific. Sprint does provide information as to what the updates do for you. Just use the Internet machine and go to Sprint's website...

Hi Naddict. Thanks for humoring my "Hi. I'm super new and have stupid questions" status.
My "internet machine" (awesome) must be limited to banning all updated information. On the sprint blog for S3 updates the latest one is from 9/19 and I don't see any relevant information regarding an update from today. That's where my confusion lies.
My main issue is that I don't even know what to search for, as I don't receive any information regarding the update number/title/etc.
A popup just asking me to install a "system update" doesn't really do much for me. I'll keep looking. :good:
Take care,
Mike

Well now I'm just lost.
I used Mobile ODIN to flash a stock recovery, then I tried to flash an LG8-L13 .zip I found on another forum. I got an installation error. I went back to CWM and tried the flash the update, same error. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is there a file, or at least a link to an update .zip that works in CWM?
Edit: Just found and flashed two files through CWM. So far so good.
Here's the Link for the update:

So i been having so many bugs and bad battery life…So i heard there was a stability update released , i heard some people received it but i was one of them that has not.
If you contact T-Mobile through facebook and ask for them to push the ota over they will do it without a problem! im just waiting to receive it now..should take within 24hours. Just thought this could be useful for some of you guys.
Use the LG mobile update program from their website.

Tried it but says im on the latest. Im on build H81110d.
Hey guys!
I am Vivek from Ahmedabad, India. I am writing this just to let you all know about my recent experience with FF!
I bought my 6X (BLN-L22) like 2 months back and couldnt get any official ota even after waiting this long. I tried to contact the EMUI admin in Facebook and they told me that its being pushed to individual devices gradually. Now as promising as it sounds, how long is someone supposed to wait right?
Now, I came across an ocean of unfavorable and negative reviews about FF here in XDA and also in other websites. A lot of people complained about disappearance of updater and app twin along with other apps. While others complained of buggy performance or some other issues with the camera. But what I later found out was that people were trying to jump from an old release to the latest one without patching the previous releases of the full OTA in FF!
Some people had issues while jumping from 301 to 320 and some from 310 to 320. And some had twrp installed so its obv to face random issues anyway. Well, I was in B132 all this time and I didnt know what to patch first. But I read somewhere that my release and B320 were stables ones compared to others. So I backed up every single thing from my phone and took the risk only to see if all the hype about FF was true or not...
And to my surprise, it actually worked!! I simply flashed my phone to B320 from B132 using the proxy method and it all happened within an hour. I am on Nougat (EMUI 5) now and its super smooth. I have all the new features like App twin and box based push notifications. I even have the updater file which many complained of vanishing after flashing. It all worked just fine!
I was given a little inspiration by a guy named Gopi here for trying out the FF after all those crazy reviews. He said "You never know unless you try". And I went for it! haha!
So go ahead folks! B320 through FF is what you need if you dont wish to wait too much for the OTA. Special thanks to the developers of FF for this!
Good luck! :good:
Peace.
I'm legit jealous . Cause in my device (BLL-L22) there is still no full nougat update in it (with the app twin etc). Just wish huawei release it soon

No I didnt went for the factory reset. It wasnt necessary anyway. I simply updated from B132 to B320 via FF and within 15 mins, the whole update was installed. I got App Twin, Updater and a lot of other new features. I didnt faced any bug so far. Been using EMUI 5 since 3 days now. Dont wait for OTA if you dont wish to. Just upgrade via FF buddy. Good luck!

2. Create a folder inside sdcard named dload
3. Extract the update.app inside the firmware you downloaded and put it inside dload
4. Power off your phone
5. Power it on back again using volume up, volume down and power buttons. All pressed simultaneously
6. Flashing will start.
