I've noticed that my phone has an available software update in the "about device" section in settings. After hitting the "check for updates" I get an error message saying "it can't currently connect to the servers".
I've tried this on WiFi and on my LTE connection and both don't work. What should I do? Does anyone else have this problem? How do I update this phone?!?!
I don't see anywhere that it says there is an update but I have been getting that server error it seems like forever now.

connect you phone to kies, it will say update is available, let it update. This is will fix your update problem.
But update will remove your universal search
Thanks Sam, I guess there is no need for me to update then. At least I know what to do when there is a good update in the future!

if you root, then you can put old search.apk to get universal search back.

Hi Boys,
I'm an Italian boy, this morning my Desire said me that there is an update for my system.
In this moment is impossible for me install the update.
Do you have this message? There are news in the system?
Did you try checking for updates again, in settings go to "about phone" and tap on the first option "check for updates" or something like that, if it doesn't prompt you at the first try, check it at least a few more times without exiting.
If you want to know what is changed (probably not much) you should tell us the number of the update file and whether you are branded.
For some reason for the last few days i haven't been able to update Friend Stream on the phone.
It just says "no recent updates" even if i try manually updating.
As far as i can tell i have everything ticked to update and its always worked before.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem, I tried clearing the cache on the app now it wont let me log back in again, it says the service is unavailable. Do a search for Friend Stream here and you will see there are other people having problems with this.
Automatic updates > from phone settings menu, not working? How does it looks on Your
Hello all
I recently saw in my phone settings menu option for "automatic checking of firmware update" and also "check for update"
And a question is - does it work on your defy?
I have 2.51 firmware - so i think latest one, but anyway when i click "check for update" new (black) screen appears, with text "checking for update, please wait".... And thats all. It stays on this screen forever, and nothing happens..
No feedback - for ex. that i have the latest one, or sth..
How exactly this works on your defy? I am warried because i think i may had removed some important apk from /system/app
I heard FOTA is responsible for updates? But i didnt delete that one....
so: how exactly this "check for update" works on your defy?
Yes mine did the same thing last week where it was just continuously searching. It is now ok and searches for a few seconds then says phone is up to date.
yesterday i searched for updates in phone menu and it said as it always did "checking for updates is unavailable. tray again later" so i decided to try motorola software updater and guess WHAT? it updated from 2.34 to 2.51.
i think the servers aren't online, or i don't know. but on 5 devices in my country says the same message when checking for updates.
I have an LG Optimus G Pro (E980). It is rooted and Lokified. However, I am still running a debloated Stock ATT ROM. 4.1.2. Yesterday, AT&T began pushing an Update to my current Value Pack Build, with the message "Software Update is Available". with a request to select the push message to begin the update. Of course, accepting this update will result in my having to use LGFlashtools to reinstall the ATT .TOT file.
I have tried to find the [sys]elements that would kill this message, as accepting it is, ultimately inevitable. A slip of the hand and I am in for a few hours of rebuilding. I have frozen a couple of likely candidates (com.lge-fota something) and com.lge.permission something). While they have not proven to be needed for any of the uses of my phone, neither have they stopped the push message.
Does anyone know what might block this "Update is available" push message?

Just freeze LGApduService 1.0. You're welcome.

Thanks. In my case turned out to be dmclient.receiver. Could be the difference in builds. I see you have E98010P. I am still on E98010K and P was what I was trying to stop...

I was WRONG. Apparently it was just freezing SoftwareUpdate 4.1.0. Or maybe both combined. Not sure, buddy! I just did the one I told you and STILL got update notification. When I froze SoftwareUpdate 4.1.0, it didn't come back.
Hello
I just fresh installed the latest pre-rooted firmware (thanks as always rbox.. beer on me incoming!) and I forgot to do the "yank the ethernet cable" trick to get past the initial update. My router has the domains blocked and previously they were working fine, so I would have expected the check to fail, but it happily went though to the registration screen. Of course there are no updates since this is the latest, so no harm done this time round, but just wondering if any domains may have changed?
Also checking update status in "About" and it says last checked today (normally it just says "Checking now...."). When I click on Check for Updates, it says there was an error. Which suggests nothing has changed, but I'm confused by the above.
The other possibility is that the new firmware doesn't hang on checking for updates, so if it fails it just goes through anyway (good for peeps who are having internet trouble, etc).
Anyone else have this experience? I have updates disabled so not too worried, but just wondering for future reference in case I need to fresh install and a newer update is out.
Cheers
Try downloading the update through aftvnews, it may be your firewall isn't blocking it.
I just discovered my Asus router wasn't blocking the updates until I re-enabled the firewall.
edit:
Or may because you're on the latest update it skipped the update.

Just an observation...you shouldn't need to do the Ethernet trick with custom recovery when updating prerooted firmware. It will check for updates then nothing should happen.
I've been running the same prerooted firmware for a long time so my memory isn't perfect but I thought just updating it wouldn't take you to the registration screen??? Unless maybe this new firmware isn't set up like rbox's. Are you saying you had to setup your account, check adb and unknown sources, reinstall apps, etc? This would occur if you wiped data before installing the update maybe...
Anyways. If it running OK I wouldn't worry much about it.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I did a complete fresh install / format data etc. Wanted to start fresh. I have done full wipe install with rbox's previous firmware in the past and I did have to do the ethernet trick to get to the registration screen. But not with this latest. My guess is Amazon have changed it so that it doesn't just hang if it encounters an error at the stage. Or something else has changed.
My router is definitely blocking the servers. Once I am in KFTV launcher, it shows they are being blocked (updates just says "Checking now..."). So probably nothing to worry about, just wanted to be ready, so to speak, in case I need to do another fresh install in future.

I tested this out. With the latest firmware that was just released by rbox. The update still shows the same error as before. After every update. I ensure that I disable the update service via SU and the update links are blocked on my router anyways. I don't do opendns as I believe in manual physical blocking.
