New OTA Update how to turn it off - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep getting the new VZW OTA update message on my Droid Incredible running Skyrider 3.3.3. I dont want to update but its keeps asking me. I am starting to get pissed off. I look online and saw something about renaming the otacert.zip and I did to otacert.bak but I am still getting that damn update message. Please help

Second that.

Yeah, I just now got notified of a new update. Is this Gingerbread?

Unfortunately, no.
<sarcasm>
But, you do get the really cool Verizon App Store!
</sarcasm>
I'd be surprised to see Gingerbread before the end of March 2011.

I don't guarantee this will work but it did for me. I was on Uncommon Sense and got the message to update. I clicked yes, it counted down to 0 to reboot and then never rebooted. I manually rebooted and when I got back to UI the notice didn't come up again, and I haven't seen any new software installed either.
Hope that helps

PRL?

what is the PRL as of right now. isnt it 60668?
No its ends in 9
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
anyone notice a difference between the newest one and 60668? wondering if it's worth it to flash a stock rom just to grab the latest prl
PRL change
i thought it was 668, but i started flashing a few roms and creating some nandroids and noticed it was 669? when did it change?
I just checked mine after a post in General...I am still on 8. I have had my update off all day...it is one way for me to keep Google Talk from starting up. So I haven't seen it.
From the other thread people started noticing today? I am rooted stock..will see if it shows up.
I have rooted 2.2 with prl of 60662
60669
well, i guess 60669 it is. ive flashed 5 roms just now to create backups so i can pick one that works best for me, and yup, im on 9 now. hope it for the better?
So let me get this straight...no one is noticing when the update happens? It just happens? Like somehow they are pushing to us without consent? Ok that just kinda a little pisses me off...
...well unless that is not what is happening.
not a clue

nope, i didnt have any notice at all. i checked it when i was coming home from work and it was 8, then i checked about an hour ago, and it is now 9.
Mine hasn't changed, till I manually went into system updates and clicked on update. I am running the Rooted Froyo 3.23.651.6 ROM.
Does this break the forced roaming setting people have?
Ok, mine had not updated at all...(rooted stock 1.47)...so I went to see if there was an update from my phone.
Lesson learned...it doesn't tell you about an update...it just does it.
So...question for everyone that has that forced roaming set up...does this break it? Anyone test it? I was going to ask that question before applying the update but didn't realize phone would do it automatically.

Software Update Gives Weird Message

i got tmobile and Jelly Bean on m y S3. when i try to update thru the software update i get this message and am not able to update my S3:
Access to the software update services is provided to users in the order in which they request it, Try again later.
i never got this before. what do i do?
Try again later.
I got the same message...to me it seems like network congestion...to many people trying to download at the same time. I waited a few hours and then was able to get the update. You can also go on your computer and download Kies and update that way.

The update wont fix those issues...Its a radio update only
If you are having issues over and over your phone is messed up...send it in for warranty service...JB is running smooth/flawless/good battery on 99% of the people I talk to...
At least if its never been rooted and bone stock...if its been rooted id start all over from scratch and get a good rom on it

[Q] 4.4.2 update question

Hello! every time I try to download the 4.4.2 update on my phone there just pops up a message that says that the download has been interrupted. When I connect it to Kies it tells me that my 4.3 version is up to date.
Does anybody have a I747UCUFNE4 file that is flashable through Odin? I'm not rooted, just running stock bootloader and rom.
Thanks!
'PD: I found that people had the same problem with the S4 but I don't know if the same solutions apply
I'm in the exact same boat as you. I can't quite figure out why OTA nor Kies will work. I've also got 4.3 on my phone. I was actually about to post this up because I waited several days in hopes that something would fix itself, but got nothing. I've changed the date out to July 4th (Trying every day prior), trying to get it to recognize that there is an update, and still can't get it to update. I've done everything that I can aside from resetting my phone, which I don't want to do. I even fresh installed Kies on two computers and both won't see KitKat and both won't let me "initialize and check for firmware update," saying that the SGH-i747 cannot initialize.
Prior to KitKat, it would just say my system firmware was up-to-date, not this interrupted junk. That right there tells me it is seeing it, but it won't even attempt to grab it.
My phone is also complete stock and not rooted.
I wanted to bump this. Anyone have any ideas what's going on with our phones?
Have you tried downloading the ota and manually flashing? Its in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788012

Is it that simple? I just flash it in through odin? Sorry but this is my main phone and I read people have had a lot of problems with the 4.3 version when they use Odin.

I'm with Tony here. This is my main phone so I'm not looking to break anything, let alone completely wipe my phone with a manual install like that. Not at this time, anyway. I've thought about it, but am shying away from that for now.

If I get some free time today, I'm going to contact AT&T to see if something is whacked on my account or if I need a new SIM. I swear that my original Galaxy had this same problem and they fixed something. I'll let you know what they have to say.
Also, so long as you follow instructions to the T, it is safe. I am not one to jump on something immediately, so I like to read about people's problems for a couple days. This one seems to be going along well. I put Cyanogenmod 7 on my original Galaxy S without a hitch, and the process has since been simplified big time!
Well, I called and spoke with someone and AT&T has the ability to push updates manually if your phone isn't taking it. While she was waiting for the program to open, she was reading over the change log to see what all changed. She couldn't get her program to open, so she went to seek help. Unfortunately she came back and informed me that Kitkat isn't available yet, per a phone engineer. I let her know about many people receiving it already and pointed her to the S3 details on their website that says it's upgradeable to 4.4. I also showed her this:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/S...?faq_id=FAQ00047464&fm_seq=51509&preview=true
She is going to speak with some other folks and call me back in an hour. Fingers crossed!

Youre best bet if you are unsure about any of it would be to use enewman17's thread in General for updating. Most have had success with it and you'll probably find it has the most detailed steps for how to do it.

Alright... The rep called me back to let me know what's up! Apparently AT&T is having problems pushing the update at this time and has no ETA when they'll have their end resolved. She suggested I go to Best Buy and have them update my phone through Samsung Experience. The store closest to me has Samsung Experience, so I'll stop there after work and update you. If you happen to try it out yourself before I reply, let me know how it goes!
Now whether AT&T is blowing smoke in my face on both the update problems and Best Buy thing... I have no clue.

Well, Best Buy does indeed have the Samsung Experience dude present at two locations by me. One location said they didn't know what I was talking about and to wait for AT&T to have the update available. The other location the dude immediately knew what I was talking about and proceeded to update my phone.
They use a software called Smart to do this and it said there was an update for my phone. It took about 5-8 minutes and I was done. Unfortunately the Smart software wasn't so smart, because it just reflashed 4.3 onto my phone. I also attempted to do a manual check and it said "Software Update Interrupted." He proceeded to check again to see if the update was available and this time Smart was saying my phone was up-to-date. Hmph! The Samsung rep said he'd give me a call tomorrow and let me know why their Smart software didn't have 4.4.2 available, even though it should. He wasn't sure if it would just take another week before they got it, but he would get some clarification.
So much for that one.
I have been having the same problem. Everyone else seems to have gotten the update on their SIII's, but me. I feel left out of the KitKat club. Hah! Even my boyfriend has gotten it and we're on the same plan. I tried going through Kies, but it keeps saying that it doesn't support my phone. I even tried manually putting in the model number and S/N through Kies, but that just wants me to update it back to 4.1, which doesn't even make sense. I also tried changing the date on my phone to a future one, but that just made the wait time longer. It keeps saying my phone is up to date and it even says so on Kies. I don't understand...
I hate kies. ....lol!
There are two threads in General which will help you to update manually.

It was the only suggestion I was given on the AT&T community forums, I thought to at least try it. More of a headache than anything else. Hah!
The only problem is that I don't want to root my phone, like I have done with some of my old phones in the past, since this one is still under contract.
Try this thread then.

Well, I stopped at Best Buy again today to see if they had 4.4.2 available and sure enough, they do. He told me the update came in yesterday. I had him update my phone and I'm happy to say I have KitKat on my SGH-I747.
Everything seems MUCH smoother. Bluetooth actually works and connects on its own (instantly, too), WiFi actually seems to be working instead of saying my connection is unstable, and the phone is overall swifter at tasks like it was prior to 4.3. There is also no annoying lock screen delay like 4.3 introduced for me. So overall, I'm VERY happy with 4.4.2. :good:
:victory:
... now to see if my battery life improves!

Hi,
I am now living outside US and I have an UNLOCKED S3 i747 and I wanted to update my 4.3 to Kitkat 4.4. Unfortunately, AT&T dont push 4.4 update if you dont have an active AT&T account. Is there a quick and safe way to update without going through AT&T servers?

Software Update?

Did anyone take the software update out of the box? I am a bit leery to, not sure what version it is and what it fixes...

I didn't even had a software update when I got mine a couple of days ago.

The day after I bought the phone, I saw it reboot out of the corner of my eye and noticed it was updating. I have never found info on what the update was for, but I rarely see an update automatically apply without user interaction unless it's some kind of emergency update (like to fix reception or something). It definitely applied the update without my authorization. I didn't even see a prompt.

I did not receive an update in the US on At&t either. I did manual check and it noted I was up to date.
I also agree it is quiet in here. I think this phone should be getting a lot more interest than what it is. There is a lot of potential here.

Still No 5.0.1 Update?

Hello, all!
I was just wondering if anyone else is still waiting on the 5.0.1 update for their Moto 360? I have been anxiously awaiting the update on mine and have yet to receive it. I have been checking like mad manually via the phone, but it just keeps telling me that it is up to date . There are some items in the new update that I am really wanting to take advantage of. I was just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. Thanks in advance.
Yup same here. I check every few hours via the 360 About screen and still nothing.
I'm still waiting. I have tried everything and have just given up.
Nada.
Same here, no luck
I've received the update on my OPO but my watch is exactly like it was before the update. Is there an additional step I'm leaving out?
There is a post with the update file but as I don't have the cable to connect I can't manually update it.
Is there any way to send this file to my phone to the android wear update cache so it can upload automatically to Moto 360?
I'm in the same boat. No update for anything. Tried the tricks but nothing. Anxiously waiting and keep checking. Frustrating

Still waiting too. It's annoying to have to reset your watch multiple times, uninstall apps, clear caches, and whatever else just to get it. That's not something I'm not willing to do anymore after the last update.

Well...I guess it is somewhat of a relief to know that I am not the only person waiting. I am just not understanding why it is taking so long to get the update pushed out to everyone. I certainly do not want to go the path of making a cable and modifying the watch to get it to work. I guess I will just have to wait, but it is frustrating . Thank you to all that have replied. Here's to hoping we all receive the update, soon!!!
I haven't received the update either. But seeing as so many others have not as well, I won't panic. I'm sure it will be available soon enough.
Seriously guys, don't waste valuable time resetting, clearing data etc. That does not work. It's just pure coincidence. This who claim it worked for them, in all likelihood it was just due for them.
Yeah I'm in the same boat. Sucks because I was usually one of the first to get updates on this
Still waiting here too... btw, is it just me or is that "system update" button in the 360's settings menu just there for show? I mean it doesn't even bother checking for updates when you press it, it just says instantly you're on the latest software. I even disabled all the data connections and checked for updates, it did exactly the same. Someone's having a laugh with that.
No update for me too
But today my android wear app update to 1.0.5 and still no 360 update.
I'm a little confusing because on the 360 says my android wear version is 1.0.1.15...and play services 6.5.90
Don't have it either. I hate staged roll outs ?
Yup.
Same here, no update yet.
Glad to see I'm not alone!
On my watch
Android version is 1.0.1.1526154
Google Play Service 6.1.74 (1511752-534)
