Yes, you can trust it. Its the EK02 over-the-air update from sprint. It'll update you to Android 2.3.6

youll loose root, but take the official update anyway as you wont have to erase your data. then simply install root from the EKO2 sticky at development!

I actually HAVEN'T rooted my phone yet, in part because I was curious how OTA updates went, lol.
Still considering holding out for ICS update... But my guess is there will be was too many tasty enhanced ICS-based roms to wait for the stock vanilla-ish one.

Don't hold your breath for the official ICS update that Samsung/Sprint will push to our phones. Word last month per Samsung, was that the Galaxy SII line won't see the update until 2nd Qtr 2012 = April-June. And that the Galaxy S3 will be on sale right around that time.
This is very believable too, HTC took 6+ months to update their flagship device at the time, the EVO 4G to Gingerbread, which was originally released on the Nexus-S in December 2010, and the EVO 4G finally got it officially through HTC/Sprint in June 2011.

Not to mention, if you ask an OG Epic owner, you'll find that in some cases, you could potentially be waiting 1+ years for an official update from Samsprint... but at least the hardware's nice

I realize the OP hasn't rooted his phone and was asking whether or not he can trust the update so where I'm going is somewhat off topic, but...
I've been running rooted but stock. Yesterday Sprint started nagging me about the update. On my old phone, when I said "install later" I would be reminded again in a few days. On THIS phone, it felt like I was being nagged every 15 minutes.
Because Sprint was so insistent, I came here with the same question: "can I trust it?" I read the above post, double checked the EKO2 sticky to make sure I'd still be able to root, then decided to let the Sprint update do it's job. The above post because it lead me to believe I would be unrooted as part of the process.
I let the phone reboot to apply the update. When I checked my phone later it had a warning triangle displayed (not sure if this is the "yellow triangle" or not). I panicked, swore a lot, prayed, and pulled the battery... my phone works. I'm running 2.3.4. I have the EG30 baseband. I still have root. As far as I can tell nothing happened.
In case I decide to stay stock and Sprint starts nagging me about updates again, do I need to unroot in order for the update to work?

This is my concern too. I only recently decided to root my phone and wonder if rooting it will mess up the update. I used the automated root method, and the one that doesn't use ODIN.

Once we get the OTA update will we be able to do a factory reset while retaining that new 2.3.6? Or will the factory reset takes us back to the older version?

I think I found the answer to my own question, here.
In order to get the OTA update you have to unroot and return to stock.

[VZW]Verizon Updates Droid X (9/13/13)

My first droid was a Motorola Droid X. Moved on to the X2 and then the nexus. I'm not 100% positive, but I think the X came out in 2010. Both the X and X2 were EOL by VZW pretty quickly. Which I thought was odd especially since the X2 was the first dual core phone if memory serves me correctly.
Anyways my dad was telling me he got notified about a system update today. I told him there was no freaking way Verizon sent an OTA to his phone. So it was booting and when it booted back up I saw that message. (Picture attached.)
So the Droid X just got what looks to be an OTA kernel update. I honestly never thought that phone would see any kind of OTA, ever again.
So what do you think this means as far as an official 4.3 or possibly KitKat OTA from Big Red for our phones? I posted a topic in that phones forum, but I figured I would post it here and see what you guys thought about it and if it means maybe we will get an update. Just something to discuss. If I'm breaking the rules mods feel free to lock this.

I don't think this belongs in the Galaxy Nexus forum for one, but there's absolutely no way it's even a 4.3 update, much less Kitkat.
Motorola long ago confirmed it wouldn't even get ICS, correct? Motorola during that time had a terrible habit of releasing phones that were practically EOL'd at launch (I know, I own a Droid 2 Global).
I can say with 99.9% certainty it's probably a small patch that does something like close exploits.

Yeah that's about all it does. Looks like it's a couple days old, too. Just got pushed to my dads phone today is all.
I just posted this here because our phone really wasn't updated that long ago by Verizon but a lot of forum members I see in different topics seem doubtful the Verizon nexus will ever see 4.3, let alone KitKit. I understand we're talking about kernel exploit patches vs operating systems here, but if they'll update a phone that old (just a patch or not) is there maybe hope they are working on our phone still? Maybe just wishful thinking? :/

Well, it would be on Motorola and Google to make the updates for the Droid X2 and the Galaxy Nexus, respectively. Verizon's only part is in their "extensive testing" that delays everything to ensure phones aren't doing something to screw with their network (but of course, Apple is exempt from these testing regulations, I guess they're somehow more trustworthy than Google).
So, it's not really Verizon potentially updating the Galaxy Nexus, it's Verizon accepting and pushing out Google's update (hypothetically- we don't know if they will bother updating the toro devices to 4.3+ or not).
This means that Motorola would have to make an update and submit it to Verizon, and considering they have already said the device will not be updated past Gingerbread, I don't think that will happen.
That's why I really only advocate getting onto a GSM carrier and buying an unlocked Nexus device from Google to anyone I know who expects timely Android updates.

The Verizon galaxy nexus will eventually be updated. Likely after the next update so WiFi auto connect isn't broken. Right now it is and that's a major issue.

I just received it. I noticed two things after installing:
- The bluetooth/wifi/sidesync bug appears to be fixed. I also got a sidesync update today so that might be a factor.
- Overall wifi performance is better. I am getting faster wifi speeds than ever according to speedtest.net (33% faster download and about twice as fast upload). I'm surprised by the improvement. Maybe today is a fluke, but my desktop computer wifi speeds are about the same as they have always been. (time will tell) .

Agree. I too installed it and find the tablet much snappier. Wonder what performance improvement Samsung did though this update.

The performance is really noticeable, its a lot snappier and less micro lags

Can anyone try to find out if the problem with switching between 3G and 4G still exists, and if you still have to toggle flightmide for data to work again?

No updates for the SM-T805.
I have the france firmware installed.

Too bad the X05 models haven't received any update yet. If they did, and many of the existing issues were fixed in the process - I might aswell go ahead and buy a SM-T705!

Still waiting for an update for the 8.4 here in UK

I tried to get the update and it keeps saying that the process was interrupted any help would be great

OK. After a few days with the new update and I can safely agree with everyone else. It's definitely much more fluid and snappy, with no stutter effects, whatsoever. I wonder if this in preparation for the eventual lollipop update. We should see that around the first quarter of next year.

can i flash russia firmware , im from Viet nam and my device is t805

I am also going to download and install the russian one.. no patience.. I hope you all are talking about smoothness on the russian one right?

It's the US XAR version we are discussing.

Seriously a lot smother...I didn't expect much, but I'm impressed!

Lollipop in 2 Weeks

Was guessing end of March on my other thread, which was best case... Seems it might happen
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...update-for-other-z-series-rolls-in-two-weeks/
I will say though, the C5606, usually gets things last... Hopefully one of the ZL models get it by the end of march, would be pretty good.

waiting anxiously...

Strange..... Not going to update it again since .292 started to work really good in the last couple of weeks without any changes....

I come everyday to see if it's here but nothing yet ;_;

I have a question..
I'm on a rooted jellybean. What's the best (and safest) way to upgrade to lollipop, when it comes out?

1 hour ago on sony fb fanpage

It's coming folks

That's a pity.
But on the other hand, as long as there is no stable Xposed for Lollipop, I'm not going to update anyway. So no harm done.

Same here. That's the reason I didn't yet update my S5. But I wouldn't mind playing around with LP a bit, even without Xposed. From what I've seen so far on other people's phones, I don't like it much, but I'd like to try it out on my own device. Too bad I can't afford to tinker with the S5, as it's my work phone...

i think is really near

First purported Z series screenshot:
XperiaBlog.net said:
The screenshot you see below is claimed to be the first showing Android 5.0.2 Lollipop on the original Xperia Z (C6603). It shows that the handset is running on the 3.4 kernel and with a build number starting with 10.6.A.0. This would fit given the currently released firmware with build 10.5.1.A.0.292 i.e. the move from 10.5 to 10.6. Obviously the screenshot could be a fake, but hopefully it indicates the Lollipop update for older Xperia Z series is just around the corner.

I hope it don't come with a battery drain issue (again).

We got bent over a little with how long its taking, but not too concerned ( been having wifi issues, fixes with a restart though)
The post saying "end of next week" is actually end of THIS week... so we'll see... Not too long now, but don't get too excited... I say give Sony another 2 weeks, atleast....

Stuck on June patch after rollback

I purchased my Nokia 8.1 a few days ago. After starting it, it updated one month at a time from the February patch to the August patch. I decided to try the Android 10 beta, and after playing around with it, I decided to return to Pie.
The rollback was delivered OTA and it installed fine. However, it had the June patch and it refuses to pick up the July or August patches. This is frustrating, as the whole point of having an android one phone was to receive the monthly updates. I tried removing my sim card and resetting to factory defaults, however this didn't make a difference.
Any ideas?

Give it some time. You'll get the updates rolling again within a day or so. Kindly be patient.

Because somebody on Nokia Community said that. Nokia is just taking a while to switch your update delivery server from the beta to the stable release.
It's essential because else there will be a big clash. Let's say you're on Beta release channel and you request downgrade. You get an OTA but didn't install it yet. And meanwhile Nokia changes you to stable release channel. What will happen? That downgrade OTA has to disappear because it isn't in the stable channel. And you'll be stuck on Android Q with not even beta updates and not stable ones.
So, just keep some patience. You'll be pushed to stable release after 24 hours. So that it is quite expected that you have taken the downgrade.
If you still don't get an update after a wait, then it will be something to think about, not yet.

I was constantly losing signal during calls. I could hear the other side, but they couldn't hear me and signal strength was shown as no signal at all. I've read that you could fix that by turning VoLTE off, but VoLTE doesn't even exist in my country. [emoji1787]
That's the main reason why I rolled back. [emoji846]

I couldn't really spot any differences, let alone advantages. Plus, the phone kept freezing; I'd go to unlock it and I'd just have a black screen. The only way to awaken it was to press the power button for several seconds and restart it.
