Do you have the ota.zip?
Names of said apps?
Fake apps from Z may work.
Is there a Nougat Z system dump?

New Gmail

Anyone else notice the new Gmail update? It is not notified as an update but is now a downloadable app from the market that supports priority mail etc. The app replaces / updates the internal Gmail. Apparently they have released it as an app so it will be easier to update without the need for system updates.
Unfortunately, Froyo-only.

where can i find the zip? on my internal sdcard > update.zip ?
In fact i received 2 ota, first 233MO and the second 3Mo
We poor people here in Canada,,,we dont get any updates......I asked acer support Canada and about update release region schedule,and was told that it is set in Taiwan,,and that they have no idea ,who gets what when .
Wonder how this will effect rooted users?

Well there was a scheduled ICS update planned for shortly after Xmas. Could this be it? Have either of the two updates been flashed to the tab? I'm curious about the
3mo update.

Well i can confirm it is not ICS , 3.2.1, but just acer build update, i'll try to figure out when i back home.

I wonder if its the same exact 3.2.1 one i posted in the ROM section.
As I posted in another thread,when I was corresponding with acer support they told me that Canada was scheduled for the 3.21 update in late December or early January
So it is logical to assume that IF the ICS update comes in january ,,(and remember the only confirmation that there will be one,was from an acer rep in Poland.),that it will likely not come to regions such as Canada till april/may if ever
.
Please check "/cache/fota_dn/" before update!
check for what?? I dont seem to have a fota_dn folder anyway

That was meant for anyone whose receiving the OTA prompt. The OTA package is cached in that certain location before ur tab initializes the update, because once the update is applied, that package is deleted from that directory.
So....extract and copy the update before ur tab uses it, and then upload for everyone else to enjoy
Atleast, that's how I took it

I just got TWO updates here in Québec - 2.007.01 and 2.007.04.
At least the headphone/speaker bug is fixed.
Is the complete list of new features/fixes available somewhere?
Now to re-root my A100.....

3.2.1 seemed to fix the headphone bug, even the "unofficial" version from xda fixed it.
Good question, I am wondering as well.
Got the two updates in Ontario as well once I went back to 3.2.
Also in the Netherlands: at jan 2 installed 2.007.01 and 2.007.04.
The only difference I noticed is the market page layout; for me the old version was fine.

What does this have to do with anything
It is a joke. You may have heard of them.
See, I was disappointed that there was a security update, first because it wasn't MM, and second because it probably meant that there would be a longer delay for MM to be release.

Use updates from a different region?

I have a HTC 10 that's bought in Taiwan,can I use an update from the states? (found here: htc.c om/us/support/htc-10/news/)
the reason I'm wanting to update is because I'm currently on software number 2.41.709.7, which is a security update from January ; whereas the states have one from May.
When I check for updates on the phone, it tells me I'm on the latest update.
Is there any reason where I shouldn't use the american update? (ie: carrier issues or whatever?)

You will need to S Off so yoyu can change your MID and CID otherwise it wont work. You will most likely lose VOLTE using another firmware thats different from your carrier. If its just an updated security patch your after i wouldnt even bother. Just wait for the update
Yea the question is more if it's worth to spend 25$ to get updates to address security flaws that almost surely would not have affected you anyway.

Retus new rom Feb 5 ,2018

Just got offered this. Up through Nov security patch. I'm not on Verizon, FYI since I know they have their own upgrade path.
Nice! I'll have to flash back to stock to see if I can grab the OTA. Also post a screenshot of the "about device" screen once your OTA finishes.

Will do, although I'm traveling for work now and like to do these things when I'm home and settled. Should be able to install on Wed.
Well, I received the OTA as well. I captured the flashable zip file for it, so feel free to sideload away at will. (At your own risk, of course.)

I also got the update just a few minutes ago as well. And I am on Verizon. Maybe we will see the January patch soon enough.

Yeah.. I should have shared that I'm on at&t.
Only took two months for this one.. I'm hoping to see Oreo soon. Seems like it's been rolling out on other Motorola devices from the same generation. I'm really hoping for improved memory management.
Everything else on this device is awesome to me.. except GPS. I don't really understand why it has so much trouble until I start moving for a little bit. Never had issues with any other phone I've owned
Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk
Oh... So this means we'll have to wait more for oreo, or may this be a "preparation" for oreo? What does this update brings? I don't have any stability issues..
Well it would make sense to have most devices on the same firmware for a seamless OREO upgrade...
Argh, this is just taking too long unfortunately.

Us RETUS haven't gotten the November patch yet, so it's new to us. I just read what was on the changelog. You may be right about the Oreo preps though.

Did you buy the G5+ directly from Lenovo/Moto unlocked, or through your carrier? There might be a different patchset depending on any carrier the phone might be locked to. Also grab a screenshot of the about device screen if you can.

I can confirm that the November patch is in the -93 retus update.

This is indeed only the November 1st security patch update. How do you not check this stuff before posting wrong information!? Idiots....

If you read this forum looks like the whole world, are currently getting 93, which highly suggests one big update coming ?

Nah, that means Motovo/Lenovorola is slow AF in releasing updates.
