Hello!
I'm using a HTC Desire with a the "Pre-rooted Stock Froyo" ROM by teppic74.
Today I've received an OTA update notification from HTC, which I haven't accepted yet because it would probably break my ROM (by the way, it seems like teppic didn't disable the OTA update notifications in this ROM).
The size of the update is 6.34 MB.
Has anyone else received the OTA update? Anyone knows what's updated?
EDIT: As I've read somewhere, it increases the software version number to 2.29.405.14 from 2.29.405.05

Yes... increases... version number used to end in 05, with the update it would end in 14.
I don't know what changes in functionality this update is supposed to bring.
Hey i just received the system update actually its called "system enhancement 6.34 MB"
And i ofc clicked on yes, phone restards and then when the "package icon" aka the lets say progress bar starts it just stops and a "!" along with an android maskot appears... cant update, my phone is rooted tho...so, any suggestions or news to this update in general i would appreciate!
ps.i hope you get what i wanted to say
I've been seeing this in other forum when I googled it and looks like no one doesn't have any idea about what the update contains.. yet.
It's nice to see the good old Froyo still getting "enhancements".
Old? Sure. Good? Not by a long shot.
I only had Froyo for a couple of weeks before I rooted and flashed Gingerbread and never used Eclair sooo I'll take your word for it. Haha
If your using a custom RoM, you should never apply OTA updates.
@DroidZone: maybe citing the message just before yours isn't necessary? Just asking.
@shankly1985: you're not helping us who are dealing with this problem as I can pretty much certify we all know that: just read the original post and other comments.
I registered here to ask about this and maybe have an answer. The thing is I am NOT using a custom ROM. I am using the original HTC ROM that came with my Desire 14 months ago. BUT I have rooted the phone in anticipation of installing MIUI – I was desperately looking for a two-way recording of phone calls that never made it into MIUI. So I've installed ClockWorkMod as well as ROM Manager. I too have experienced exactly what @Drizzline describes. System update notification, phone restarting, exclamation icon that seems to be from ClockWorkMod and not from the OS.
My question is: how can I apply the system update, knowing that I have never installed a custom ROM on my device nor made any changes to the factory-installed – and subsequently updated – vendor-provided ROM?

And if you're using a stock ROM, you shouldn't either.
I stupidly updated my Desire and
calendar stopped working properly (events disappeared; luckily, I can see from Google Calendar's web interface that they're all still there)
every now and then an error message appears:

None of the methods I found around Googling (clearing cache, factory reset) could fix this issue. Now I'm really pissed off and I don't know what to do, except waiting for another update from HTC.
"System enhancements"? Hah
@vodoomoth, Stop telling people what to do and what not to.. Who do you think you are, barging into a forum and being a pompous ass with your first post?
If telling that I think repeating a the whole post above might not be necessary when I reply with one line is telling people what to do and what not to do, then yes, I am a pompous ass. No, actually, I am a stupid arrogant pompous ass. But I didn't write the Netiquette, I just read it and it's pretty standard in forums. Sorry to be the one to remind you that there is no need to cite an entire message and reply with just one single word and a question mark!
I doubt you were talking about me telling shankly1985 that his "do not apply OTA updates on custom ROMs" was not helping. Oh yes, I am not the person who hasn't read the opening post where that concern is pretty obvious.
However, I don't see how my post is summed up as "barging into" a forum. I didn't know some behaviors were not allowed in first posts but only in later posts. Sorry for that again. I guess I should have not written a first post.
To other people, sorry for the off-topic.

You can flash an RUU of 2.29.405 and return it back to the state it was before you updated. You can do this now to fix your issue, if you dont want to go the rooted way.

It actually does: imagine if my screen doesn't light up anymore. Then I would send my phone to repair. But I wouldn't be able to restore any RUU, since I wouldn't see anything and I couldn't be sure my phone was restored successfully or not.
Anyway, please, let's stay in topic... OTA update and its problems.

If you screen died, all you'd have to do is boot fastboot, and watch the RUU process and your pc screen, so you stand corrected as you would know if it's restored.
And I don't really see what all the hype is about.. I bet it doesn't even do anything.

I feel like a moron because mine hasn't updated automatically from 4.4.4. Any way to force the Lollipop update? I already checked and have the 24 wait period in effect. Thanks!
Happened to me as well. Go into settings, time and date, uncheck the automatic date/time function and move the date 1 day ahead. I would reboot the phone just in case, and check it again.

Weird - just did all that and it still says software is up to date. Any other suggestions?
Called AT&T to see if they could push Lollipop to my device. No dice. Tried the "move ahead one calendar day" trick, but it didn't work. Now it shows that I can't check again for 702 hours. Ha! Any other suggestions? Maybe it just hadn't rolled out to everyone yet. I'm in Chicago, if that matters.
If you don't have an issue wiping your data then you can use the stock Odin file in the general sub to flash it back to stock and update again.
I had my wife's phone updated with a push from AT&T. She had the same issue. They have to file a ti let and tech department did it but took a few days.

Thanks! Yeah, I might just do this.
Also if you factory restore your phone it will go back to the default 24hr wait.
I haven't really messed around with root stuff in a while, but I know even without root we used to be able to download the update, put it in the root or the SD card and rename it update.zip . Does this not work anymore? I really thought there would be a way to force the update somehow..

That would work if someone has captured the zip file or the download URL, which no one has done. Virtually every 5.0.1 related thread has someone asking for this, with the same response. No one has it, and if they did, it would be available in a stickied post.
Oh the woes of waiting for updates lol.
I remember with my OG moto droid waiting for 2.1 lol.
And how 2.2 blew my mind. Now look at it.
i had to flash oem kitkat to my att note 4, which right after the flash immediately got lollipop.
if you do got to the Samsung kiosk have them re-flash kitkat. then the download for lollipop will update after setup.
Force update to marshmallow?
Hi, absolute idiot when it comes to stuff like this.
So, i was searching through my apps list when i noticed AT&T software update.
I dont need any AT&T applications as i am in Australia and do not have AT&T.
i have tried to force an update by following the clearing data and force stopping the Google services frame work.
tried it multiple times, nothing.
Then i thought i could disable the app of the AT&T software update, and then i fell deeper into the rabbit hole of how OSPolice got in trouble and how there is 2 versions of package disabler pro.
So here i am, stuck with 5.1.1 and i have no idea what to do.
No, i am not going to root it. This is an AT&T phone, with a bootlocker on it. If anyone, *ANYONE*, can help me solve this small issue that would be much appreciated.

I've been messing heavily with my new S6 Edge (Rooting, Removing System Apps, etc), and have caused myself some issues. I wanted to restore the Firmware, but Kies would not do it last night. But now, this afternoon, it is allowing it. I'm installing right now and it appears to be going smoothly.
Just a heads up for anyone that was trying before and could not get it to go.
I'll report back if I have any issues.

UPDATE: It went perfectly smooth. Now I'm back to Stock Firmware with Stock Recovery.

It doesn't work for me yet. did you enter download mode before connecting to Kies? what version of Kies do you have? mine is 3.2.15041_2
I entered download mode when it asked me to. Also Kies 3.2
I also got that message, but it will go through anyways. At least it did for me. I left that message in the background till it finished.
Initial Update when you Open Box is Included in this method
I just noticed that the update you get when you first turn on your phone is pre-built into this update method. I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that my phone feels blazing fast now as opposed to when I first got it. And, it's not near as HOT as it was.
Here is my current version for comparison. Not sure if it's the same as that updated file we got when first turned on as I didn't make a note of the version numbers.
Just curious, was the phone staying awake at all times after you rooted it? Mine is, and I noticed today after my second Edge came in that rooting appears to be the cause.

No, but I did find the battery life to be HORRIBLE! Now, with this Firmware Recovery, the battery is lasting longer than it has since I got it. I'm finally really enjoying the phone. When it was new, battery life was very dismal and it got really hot regularly. Now it feels like a normal phone, but FAST.
Yep, my battery life was horrible after rooting as well - I found out and now I'm almost 100% positive that when you root it the system doesn't deep sleep properly. I was able to confirm on a second phone that it does deep sleep at all times up until rooting. Afterwards it just refuses to enter deep sleep.
good to see a restore works, but I don't think I will root until TWRP comes out for this guy.
phone is running just fine now..
My device won't boot even with the 920 root method. And kids says my serial n is no good?
Tell your kids to mind their own business.
Hehe, just kidding.
What serial are you using? It needs to be the one from Settings/About/Status near the bottom of that screen. Try again, making sure you've got model and serial exact. I had it complain on me a couple times. Was a mistype on my part. Not sure if case matters, but maybe try all upper case.

nice work :good:
Hi there,
I finished the process "Software Update and Initialization" via SS but my it looks like my phone has the same settings and apps as before and was not "wiped" or initialised to factory.
Does this mean it actually was not successful or did the process actually automatically restore my backup while I looked away?
The phone definitely seems snappier though ...
Thx
Ken

"Compatibility patch" update showed up in my notification area. When I clicked on it, it took me to the LG software update section and said that this file is needed to fix some issues with app compatibility.
After installing the program asks to reboot the phone. Once the notification is clicked on, the phone reboots.
Phone is not rooted. It seemed a little sketchy since there's really no other information anywhere else on the net. It seems a bunch of other people have got this but no real info.
Just wondering if anybody else has got this update.
Thanx.
I didn't get this "comp patch" as an individual update. Last week, I got the update with the security patches from July 1 (German G4, no branding), and it looks like that this patch was included. It now shows in the list of installed LG applications, where it didn't appear before. My wife (LG G3) got this patch as a single install (~1 week ago).
I have got this compatibility patch too, and in description of this app is 20160809 so it is 1 week old. But what was going about in that "fix"... :/
I've got the patch today too. But haven't rebooted yet.
U talking about this one? What is that supposed to do?
I have got this update and now it keep asking to reboot in notification bar. I have done restart many times but no luck.

If you have the encryption on then turn it off and reboot. That should resolve the issue and then you can turn it back on. Hope it works for you.

Hi Akarshad, I've got exactly the same issue. Installed, rebooted multiple times and the notification to reboot is still there telling me to reboot to finalise the install.
Problem with the Patch
I got the same patch on my LG V10. Thinking nothing of it I agreed to install and reboot. Once I had done so, I now have the Yellow Boot Warning at every boot. And also a bunch of my system apps stopped working. Camera, Phone, Music. I don't remember ever flashing a ROM that would trigger the warning seeing as how I got the update to 6.0.1 a few days before and hadn't done anything since. So I flashed back to stock with LGUP and the problems still persist. This is my first post ever, any advice. I apologize as I know this is a LGG4 thread.
If you did anything to the system image, you may have issues applying the OTA. @SixTheAmateur: did you modify in any way your V10? Did you flash a KDZ not officially available to your V10?

I've had massive compatibility issues with my g4 and apps I like to use. I noticed this today and definitely installed it. I have been able to use the apps I hadn't been able to use.
It seems to be going well so far. I'd say do it.
It seems to be frozen/disabled after installing, odd.

Compatibility Patch Mystery to T-Mobile and LG
I got a notice for a compatibility patch several weeks ago.
Rather than click I contacted LG, who knew nothing of it.
So I contacted T-Mobile, my carrier, and they knew nothing of it and suggested I don't down load it.
It popped up again today and I'm going to ignore it until I understand what it will do.
Good Luck!
Similar experience. I had issues with my phone afterward and had to get a new one.

Hi, A lot of people are having issue regarding security of device as you cant change your pin and it wont let you enter your pin by showing wrong pin. You cant even have any security after doing a factory reset.
I have done everything to fix it , even took it to samsung repair center, still no success so I have sent it to samsung warranty today.
I have done these things to fix it but nothing worked.
1. Tried online samsung and google "find my phone" service" to fix it as it is shown on some sites for older phones.
2. Reset the phone through recovery.
3. Install fresh firmware through Odin. Then installed both beta versions.
4. Installed orignial firmware mine was VAU.
5. Installed the first firmware of s10 plus. With Nand reset and partition using PIT file.
6. Took it to samsung, they tried 2 different firmwares to fix it but all in vain.
In the end Samsung told me that it might be issue after security patch done for screen protector. They cant do anything at the moment and I have to wait for a fix through update but I have sent my phone to warranty.
I posted this issue in Q&A last day after having issue. But now I can see There are a lot of people affected by this. In my opinion it is Beta 2 issue.
Once you encounter this issue, you are helpless until samsung fixes it. Until then just keep your data, no need to do factory reset or new firmware, as it wont do any help.
What?... Never had any of these issues dude

I also got this first time. It is very frustrating and I spend 7 hours to fix it but nothing worked. Until now i have seen 5-6 people who are facing this issue after beta 2. More might come.
I'm also facing this problem, hope Samsung fix this ASAP.
Those who have this problem, did you sideload manually the updates or have you enrolled and been part of the official Beta program?

To be on the safe side, I have enabled remote unlock and also just tried it to see that everything works. This deletes all your biometrics but at least you can use your phone till a fix is issued.
Thanks for letting us know. Worst case scenario, you can roll back to Pie via Odin, correct?
Fyi: After remotely unlocking the phone, I was able to successfully setup again pin, face and fingerprint biometrics. I cannot understand why this problem affects some people and others are not affected. Why is this triggered by certain phones...?

I did rolled it back but didnt work for me. my issue is persistent and even samsung service centre could not fix it. I gave my phone in warranty because I am not sure how much samsung will take to fix this issue and they might be able to fix it. Lets see what samsung will say.
am not having any of these issues on S10+ Beta 2
I have the same issue. My phone restarts twice a week automatically and after my scheduled restart my pin is no longer working.
I've formatted my phone and now stuck on Beta software as Smart Switch won't downgrade anymore.
I installed via official Beta Enrolment (Samsung Members App) - in the UK.
Was and currently still running the Beta 2 software.

You can use odin to go back to normal build but there is high probability that it wont fix the issue.
Does this have anything to do with the recent update in the biometrics (fingerprint issue).?
I cannot understand why this bug was not seen right after the update to Beta2, but only after 3-4 days...
---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------
The good thing is that this bug affects also the ones who officially enrolled to the Beta program, so this means that Samsung must be working to release a fix. At least I hope...
