Kies has new update??

I started Kies this morning and it wanted to update itself, after it
did that, it came up with a pop up "An update for T-mobile T989
has been downloded. Please plug in your device to install update".
I can't do that, coz' I'm on The Sith ROM, but I was wondering
if anybody knows anything about this so called "update"?
(I did installed the last update 4.0.4 when it was available and was on original ROM...)

I think this might answer your question. I uninstalled Kies ASAP from my phone/comp so I haven't received a notification, but I think that this might just be a quick patch/fix.

The only that updated was KIES itself for me. No update on the phone..

[Q] How to get OTA notification again?

Hi All,
Last week I received a system update for my Nexus 7 for Lollipop. At that time I didn't want to update so I dismissed the notification. The problem is that I can't get it to re-appear. I've already tried to check for updates 100 times over a couple of days. I've also cleared the Google Play Services and then check for updates, but didn't work.
Is there a simple way to get the update notification again?
Thank you for your help!

Yes, wait for the OTA to become available again. There's a possibility that the latest OTA (5.0.1) was pulled and is no longer available. If you really want the update, download the firmware from Google and flash it manually.
Edit: someone got the notification today. So who knows why you haven't received the notification.

I thought one you dismiss the notification and don't take the update you go back to the end of the queue - so it could be weeks before you get it again.

Happened to me as well. Got the notification last week for 5.0.1, didn't update but didn't dismiss it either. After a couple of days it just disappeared and so far hasn't shown again.

I'm still waiting on 5.0 here. Getting annoyed and was looking for sideload update options but if other people are still waiting on it I guess I'll hold off a bit longer.

If you're now running a modified stock rom, you will most likely have issues updating with the OTA. Here's a way to update without having problems or waiting for the OTA with no loss of data: Download the rooted rom from Scrosler found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex.../rom-factory-stock-rooted-rom-lrx22c-t2960745 , use Wugfresh's NRT 1.9.9 to update the bootloader that's also mentioned in Scrosler's thread, and then dirty flash (no wipes) the 5.0.1 rom with TWRP.

Stop waiting and do it manually. Why is everyone so consumed with sideloading? You can flash the latest firmware in fastboot without losing anything.

When I lost my update (long story) it took 3 days to come back. A little less than I was expecting but still a little more than I wanted. I'd expect you'll get it back in 2-3 days.

Same here! But will download it now instead. Tierd of waaiting

[Q] Long time un-updated N7

Hello,
Acquired a used nexus 7 today, according to the previous owner its only a few months old (in perfect condition).
the tablet had not seemed to have received a single update performed and was running 4.3 when I got it,
I signed into my account and was immediately prompted to download and install 4.4.2 which I did, then 4.4.3 then 4.4.4.
since then (a few hours ago) nothing, no sign of 5.0, is there a period of time you need to be running 4.4 while connected before 5.0 becomes available ?
or by now in January if it has not come OTA then it wont and has to be done manually ?
Never side-loaded and prefer not to if its going to show up in the next few days..
thanks

If you don't want to wait, install it manually. Or you can sit and wait for it, not knowing when it'll arrive. Why are you against sideloading? It doesn't even require sideloading to install.

[Q] Is there a new update?

Hi all. At 4:20 AM PDT (the notification sys 8:20AM for some reason) this morning (June 12) my Note 4 buzzed and woke up and let me know there was a software update available. Any idea what this is?
I didn't install the small security update last month yet, is this just that update trying to be more forceful (the notification will not go away)? Or is it a new update?

Try it, and let us know what it is !

I didn't install last month's security update myself for the fear of losing that slim chance of an unlocked bootloader and root..lol
I haven't received a notification about an update this month..would you happen to have a description of the update?

Well, the notification wasn't going away and I accidentally hit continue and it rebooted and installed whatever it was.
Took it's sweet time installing and then optimizing apps, and as far as I'm aware nothing changed. Same baseband, same kernel, same build number (LMY47X.N910AUCU2DOI3) according to About Device.
Also my phone is starting to show me the same annoying screen that started appearing when the security update came out saying to connect to wifi to download another update (whatever update was installed today, it downloaded itself via mobile, not wifi).
So I am rather confused as to what the 'update' I installed was.

OTA update to 9 on unlocked rooted phone

Cliff notes: rooted/unlocked xl on stock 8.1 ota. that I sideloaded. Phone installed 9 ota, requested restart, now im on 9. I honestly do not remember accepting update.
How can this happen? and will there be issues?
More Details:
So an odd thing happened to today. My phone, a rooted/unlocked running stock rom, got a notification for an update to 9. I have had my phone since 1/17, and I have been rooted unlocked since day one. This is the first time I have received a update notification. I ignored it figuring ill just get the ota and sideload it like i have done previously. Later today my battery was low and I get a message stating the update install is paused due to low battery. Once it charged enough it told me to restart phone which i did, then quickly realized it may have been a bad idea. Phone booted, told me i had an unlocked phone blah blah, then I noticed my custom loading screen was replaced by the standard google screen. 30 seconds later android 9 boots up. everything works fine, lost root though.

my phone is still on 8.1 and a check say's up to date, I have downloaded 9. ppr ota , would like to know before i side load, have you got root back ? I use magisk .

I have not attempted to get root back.

Did you have TWRP? Honestly, I'm in a situation where I'd like that to happen. Unfortunately I don't have access to my PC and would like to take the final OTA to Pie, but I'm rooted with Magisk, and.have TWRP installed, I'm worried about a bootloop.

I'm just trying to figure out if there is a way to force my phone to get the OTA update the normal way. My Pixel picked it up as soon as I manually checked for an OTA Update. My daily driver Pixel XL has been saying that I am up to date for the past 22 - 23 hours since the update went live, so I'm still stuck on 8.1.0. Does Google drip feed the update out in blocks based on IMEI to limit the impact on the download server?
