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.

[HELP] Error Reason 403 when doing VZW update

Saw last night on Engadget that the Verizon update finally came out. I can't use PC Companion because Verizon doesn't use the MTP driver so I have to do OTA update. I also tried SEUS and it said my phone was up to date.
My phone is prompted to install the update; it downloads about 54MB and starts to install after rebooting a few times. Eventually it comes up and says it failed.
I checked Settings > About Phone > Software update > Update now > Info, and it says
Firmware version:
SEMC_R800_R800x_user_3.0.E.2.89_1245-4101_R68C
Source: Verizon Wireless
Update status: Update Failed
Reason code: 403
Update package size: 54.58 MB
This software update includes enhancements and improvements to to your Xperia PLAY(R800x)
MobileCare version: 6.1.0_B191_SE.
I moved a lot of apps to SD to give me more internal space and tried again, same result.
Removed battery for about five minutes; same result.
My Play is rooted and the BL was unlocked, but locked it again so I could do the OTA update.
Any help guys? I'd love to get these awesome features!
EDIT: I also posted this question here http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/23855?tstart=0

I read another post saying that if I removed any of the bloatware it would not let me install it. If that is true, can someone point me to a backup of the included apps? I saw a link here a long time ago but now can't find it.

You're welcome. Don't forget to hit the "thanks" button!

Unfortunately I received the same result. I installed all the apks I removed earlier and rebooted, then downloaded / installed the update again. Still Error Reason 403. Anyone else have any ideas?

RESOLVED!
I used SEUS and used it to "repair" my device back to settings. I kept all my personal info and apps. I downloaded the update again and it installed just fine. I did lose root access though

Have the update servers changed?

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.

Update Error

Hi guys, I really hope you can give me a hand here. I was rooted using method 3. Yesterday I unrooted the device. Today there were some OTA updates, so I downloaded them and wanted to install them. It was 58 if I'm not mistaken. The phone rebooted and started installing the updates and after few seconds a symbol of android popped up with an error message. After that the phone started and said that update wasn't installed and the origanal settings were returned. After that it said that there wen't new updates available. Factory reset didn't help either. Later a new update was available 59 I think, but the same thing happened... I really don't know what to do now.
I have ZF2 64Gb, WW version installed on it.
right now running 2.19.40.22
I'm really hoping for your help
Update: I've don't system wipe and cache wipe from the recovery menu
Update N2: I've managed to install V2.19.40.22 image from official website. But my phone doesn't show me an option to do an OTA update, it says that there aren't any update available. Is there a way to make him check again properly?

Do you mean as in making the file MOFD_SDUPDATE.zit puting it on the SD card and through recovery? The update starts, then says gives an error
In recovery it says:
Veryfying current system...
"/system/build.prop" has unexpected contents
E: Error in /sdcard/MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
(status 7)
I might have edited my build.prop file back then when I was playing with DPI. Now I can't find the line I edited... please help

That's why you have to flash the pre root firmware first. It restores all the system files so they can pass the check while the OTA runs.

Can't download update for moto 360 1rst gen

Hi everyone !
First time posting on xda forums.
I bought on Friday a moto 360 1rst gen. I tryed to update it, but i have some errors messages.
Occasionally I got a notification that says "Can not download the update. The space is not sufficient to download the system update"
When I go into the settings to start the update manually, another message appears "insufficient space".
I rebooted several times the watch and uninstalled the application android wear (I also tested with an older version).
I tried this on my main phone (Note 4) and another (xperia z1 compact) but the notification and error message always appear.
When I put the watch in charge and remove it another message appears "Charge your watch to receive update MEC231". I put the watch in charge and I see the android wear application downloading something in the data options. When the watch is charged to 100% I remove it from the base to start the update but the same message appears that says charge your watch althought the watch is at 100%. I left the watch an afternoon and an evening on the base, when I removed it the message "insufficient space" appeared again in the update options.
I do not know what to do repair the problem. Could you help me please ?
OS version is 4.4.w.2, android wear 1..0.1.1526154 and google play services 8..4.89
Sorry for my english :silly:

Same things for me...
Moto 360 G1 with 2 days of life.
Same FW and Android Wear versions.
I've also tried to install an old version of Android Wear but no way to let him download the firmware.
I've also tried with an old Smartphone with 0 app (so it doesn't sync)...Same Thing
I've reset him contless times but no way.
Any suggestion is appreciated

Try updating by following this procedure:

Hi thanks for replying =)
I already done this procedure on two different phones but doesn't work :/
But to besure, when it says "delete the lastest version of Android Wear on your phone", that means uninstal android wear from the phone ?

Yes, delete the latest Wear app on phone and install older one from apkmirror.

Ok thanks^^
But that's what i've done but doesn't work.
I think i should return the watch to see what's happening.
Thanks a lot for help :good:

Think I'm on the same boat.. I tried this procedure last night a couple times with different phones and didn't seem to get it to work just keep getting the same msgs and notification saying couldn't download update not enough space. Just brought the watch last week brand new..

I've also tried different things but the problem persist.
I've also tried with a smartphone with Android 5.1 and an old Android Wear Apps (June 2015 1.1.1.....) but nothing.
Reading this post https://plus.google.com/communities...9/stream/b5bc95e0-4396-4569-b121-d88ff15986fb seems that Motorola know the issue and in few days will resolve the problem.
Not so good for a Watch with 2 days of life...

So maybe the problem will get fixed? It's annoying... I dont think I even experienced all the watches features

I think so, we just have to wait a few days...

Okay thanks for information
Hope they will fix it.

I've unpaired and reset my watch. Repaired. Now it's going to download the update.
Inexplicable... Or maybe Motorola has worked hard...

Ok i'll try the same.
Edit : Yeah it's working !!!! thx Dimoz =)
Edit 2 : I talked too fast, now i have "[public] full ota to LCA44b" error message.

Do not feel bad. I have factory reset my watch 3 times, each time, the watch will download the new update. Be at 100% battery, yet still tell me either an error has occurred or charge watch before installing (again it is at 100%). At this point, I will wait

Mine is in its box while I contemplated to return it or not so when I get home I am going to give this another try

I charged it fully and went into settings and update. And it updated. It updated to android 5.1.1 is that the most up-to-date?

Same for me, finally get updated to 5.1.1 :laugh:
The latest version is 6.
I'm waiting for this update.

Mine has first update to 5.1.1.
Then i've reset the device. paired and already checked for update (always under charge) and it has found the 6.0.1 update.
Update and reset. Current version 6.0.1 build MEC23I
Now, actually, is an usable smartwatch!
I will give it a chance

Same it worked out. Im very surprised but they seem to have fixed the issue for sure.
