How To Force Update to 4.1 JellyBean

For those of you that want the OTA update to 4.1 (Jelly Bean) this is how you can force the update to your phone without having to wait for Verizon to push it to your phone.
*Warning - Results vary (may or may not work). You also risk damaging your push notifications. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1. Connect to WiFi. YOU MUST be connected to WiFi for this to work.
2. Settings > Apps > All > Google Services Framework
3. Force Stop
4. Clear Data
5. Settings > About Phone > System Updates
6. Tap "Check Now" ONLY ONCE It will seem like the phone is frozen or didn't register the tap. Just wait a few moments. (However, if it has been 5 mins, I do mean you literally timed it not just your best guess. Then tap it again)
If all went well the you will be taken to a screen that describes the new features of the update while its downloading the update.
If you see the current date and a message saying you are currently up to date. Repeat steps 2 - 6. Personally it took 2 tries for it work on my phone and I have seen reports of it taking sometimes up to 6 tries for this to work. So don't get discouraged if it take a few tries.

Yep. BTW, checked some 15-18 times last night, then again about 10 times this morning. However, after reading that this may cause a problem with push notifications, perhaps it is a blessing that I shall have to wait until JB rolls around to me.

When does the official Lollipop update push over the air?

I'm reluctant to root and install a custom ROM. When does the official Lollipop update push over the air for our Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi?

It's being pushed right now, but gradually.

What does gradually mean? :silly: Just kidding.
The availability was supposed to be November 12th. By now, all Nexus 7 owners were supposed to receive the update.

No OTA for me yet....

No OTA for me too

I'm waiting, too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app

Waiting here as well for my nexus 7 2013...... (but my brother received two days ago on his nexus 7 2012).

I have two Nexus 7 2013's each on different Google accounts and to date '0 for 2' on this update. Phantomware to me so far. Tick-tock...

Same here... No Lollipop yet.

Still no update here yet in UK... Yet my missus got her update on her nexus 7 2012 few days ago

Yep. My old 2012 Nexus 7 got it a couple of days ago, my Nexus 5 got it a few hours after that, but still waiting on my new Nexus 7.

You can backup your existing data on your Nexus 7, then flash the Stock Factory Image that Google provided and install and enjoy... The first boot though takes 5-7 mins.. Restore your personal Data, NOT the data partition.. Lollipop handles the file structure a tad differently..
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Edit: when installing a factory image, it completely wipes your device, verses an OTA..
If you look hard enough you can find someone who has posted the OTA here on XDA..
But if you are rooted, using Xposed, Custom Kernel, or a Custom recovery you will not be able to update..

This misses the point of having a Nexus. This is XDA I am sure people know they can flash it. The point of a Nexus is to get the updates right away from google. I have other devices which I flash roms on but bought a Nexus for the pure google experience.

There is trick, I forgot how or what.. But it resets the Google cache, and you hammer on update and sometimes rather than not.. the update would pop up.. Someone please remind me of how that is done, I just find the OTA here and sideload it, or install the Factory image..
They are rolling the updates in certain areas in a controlled manor so if something really bad pops up that can stop it from hitting every device at once

If you've never seen this , give it a read, explains why the OTA may have not reached your device yet.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1r1dz4/44_kitkat_has_started_rolling_out_on_the_n4/cdiwt6f
Rollouts are conducted in phases. Typically they start at 1% of devices for around 24 - 48 hours; we watch the return rates and resulting device checkins and error reports (if any), and make sure nothing looks wrong before sending it to more. Then typically it goes to 25%, 50%, 100% over the course of a week or two.
What the percentages mean is that when your device checks in, it has a 1% chance (for example) of being offered the OTA. If it doesn't (randomly) get an offer, it will never get an offer until the next batch.
IOW, once your device checks in and gets turned down, that's it until the next batch. Mashing on the "check for updates" button just causes your device to check in again, and get automatically turned down again.

Neomagus, That's good info. I'm wondering at 8 days out whether we have days to wait vs another week or two to wait.

A google engineer replied to this on reddit
"Doing this changes the primary ID by which Google knows your device. As far as the servers are concerned, the device was basically factory reset. There are many downstream effects of this, but a big one is that this invalidates the tokens used by any app that uses GCM (which is nearly all the Google apps, and a ton of third-party apps.)
How apps react to GCM IDs changing varies by app. With Play Store you have to log out and log back in, I think Gmail usually handles it transparently eventually but won't get new mail notifications for a while, etc. Some apps you may have to clear data on to recover. All apps will simply stop getting GCM push-messages, until they get a new GCM ID; some do this frequently, others rarely, and some apps use the GCM ID as an ID on their own servers (as it is opaque and basically random), so other things besides push messages may not work.
Nothing bursts into flames, but it makes a ton of nuisances on the device, including some that can look pretty mysterious. Your mileage will vary depending on what apps you use.
All of this can be avoided by just doing an 'adb sideload' if you are impatient."

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)
On phone
Android version is 1.0.5.1630507
Google Play Service 6.5.99 (1642632-438)
I'm on Nexus 6 and still no update.

5.1.1 OTA now available

https://plus.google.com/+WaynePiekarski/posts/2unJBySoqn2
Just to let you all know, the latest version of Android Wear is going to start rolling out via an over-the-air (OTA) update to the Moto 360 today! OTA rollouts are always done over a period of many days, so it will take some time to receive your update. For more details about what is contained in this update, please see my previous blog post:

OTA link or your post is useless thanks

I just got the update too iOS 9.1 turned my 360 into the Iwatch since whenever everybody asks about it " Is that the new apple watch?" No dumbA$$ apple is not the only one that makes smartwatches and phones.

No worries cause I bet my my bottom dollar some joker will no doubt start a new thread about the horrible battery on 5.1.1.

I'm sorry, how do I clean the wear app to try to start the process??

Installed the update, Wi-Fi works with no issues, flick gestures are nice, navigation still smooth, entering settings takes a while, battery seems fine.

Is the VPN part necessary? Thats the only thing I didn't do (because I don't know what it means) and I can't get mine to show the update.

So what's the trick to force an update. . . . Just let a wipe and then reload or what. Never had to force an update before.

-Reset watch
-While watch resets, unpair the watch through BT settings
-Uninstall AW app
-Reinstall AW app
Voila. There's different variations of this, which work for some, and don't for others. Worked for me twice on the 1st day of rollout both times, so the naysayers can keep to themselves.

Another update M6E69B 05 August 2016

Here is another update to M6E69B
https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../ea3f22cafa01264ded185bdec71b42821cec2c59.zip
I have no idea what it fixes / enhances / solves. I just got the update notice on my watch and grabbed it.
edit - I cannot see anything new other than the version. Sounds, watchfaces, installed apps, all the same. Let's hope the bugs are fixed, especially bluetooth drops.

Updated to it too. Can't spot any diffrences.

Someone on Reddit says it is a security update. Nothing else shows on Google Search.

Was hoping this update fixed the pairing issue on Nexus 4 phones, so I installed your latest ROM update, but it still fails to pair.

Received the update and installed automatically instantly. Haven't noticed anything different and I still can't seem to answer whatsapp calls anymore over bluetooth.
This was working before the last 1.5 update.

Tell me about it!!!! I'm still on "June" update, since I got the watch in July. I've been waiting for the OTA and it never comes. Is there a trick? I go to about>check for updates and its always "up to date". I have my "wifi" going to sleep after 3hrs. The thing always on the puck/charger overnight at 100% battery. But these OTA never happen. Looks like I've already missed the "July" update, and will probably have to get that before the "august" update....
What are you guys doing ??? Other than sideloading via adb....

No where has I seen that Huawei does monthly updates on any device. This was a patch for bluetooth, wifi, and security from comments I have found and searching. Older versions never even mentioned the security patch data. I do see better BT range and few BT dropouts, battery is the same. I don't do calls on the watch but use my BT headset for that.

Got the update today. Yep, it looks like it doesn't come at the same time for everyone. Thanks guys.
