Doubtful. The OTA is pushed via the network. They wouldn't push a OTA update on you because they don't have the update for your phone unless the carrier you are using sells the Vibrant. At least that is my understanding of it. I think there is an ODIN image of the OTA update if you wanted to get it in the Development Forums.

Questions regarding updates in Europe (Sweden)

Hi everyone! I've been lurking a lot, but not registered until now.
I have been anxiously awaiting the ics update for my razr, but haven't gotten it yet. As I was checking my info on my phone I found that I only have 2.3.5.
Shouldn't I have gotten 2.3.6 by now to prepare for ics? I really want my ics but how will I ever get it if I don't even have 2.3.6?
If it helps, I live in Sweden and my operator is tele2/comviq.
If I search for updates it says it's up to date. What can I do?

did you buy your phone used? maybe previous owner flashed with something weird?
Nope. It's bought brand new and I've updated once as far as I can remember. Still says 235 though.
Any idea? I'm so over it. I just want a version of ICS that works here in Sweden, any way really..
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
What version are you on? You can RSD an EMEA fastboot file to get the European updates, but there are probably better solutions if you don't want to mess with your phone :angel:
I'm on version 651.73.30.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU .
Does that say anything to any of you guys..?
I'm fine with going the manual way of updating, as long as the version works as intended here in Sweden.
Although I do want the official release, not an earlier leak or a mod.
Yup, that's the latest version for the NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU, I'm on it as well (in Israel). There isn't an update to 2.3.6 for us
Not everyone in Sweden received 2.3.6, some was lucky updating to 2.3.6 (I was one of them) try to update via Motocast and see if there is anything there otherwise wait for the official ICS

I think if we waited so long, we can wait a few more days. We should be getting ICS in Q2... or so motorolla says.
But if you want, there are many posts around here on how to RSD-lite-your-way to ICS.
But does any of it apply for those of us in Europe? I've only seen the Verizon and Brazil updates.

Yes, there is this T-mobile EU leak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688241
Since I'm not that well informed, I'm going to ask to be sure.
If install it that way, am I still "official ROM" and can get future OTA? And everything will work as intended even though I don't have T-mobile?
Edit: also, since I've never updated like this with a new version of android, will I loose apps etc? It's not really a problem, just wondering.

No, if you install that OTA you will not be entitled to the official OTA's from Motorola (AFAIK). And I know that going back to Gingerbread is not possible if you are on ICS. In my opinion is better to wait these 4 days and see if Motorola releases the official ICS on time (Q2)
I don't know if the one I gave you the link about is official (I doubt it) it's considered a leak and there might be bugs
If you cant wait, install EMEA 2.3.6 with RSD-Lite, then you should get the OTA as soon as it arrives in Europe. That's what I've done
@percz, does that mean that you've received the update, and does it mean that you got it from the official update service?
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Also in Sweden, as someone mentioned earlier, I only got the update through motocast. Phone always just said it was upto date.
Sent from my XT910 using XDA
So you got the update through motocast without fiddling with anything?
Edit: tried through motocast, nothing.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I installed the 2.3.5 fastboot and got an OTA to 2.3.6. I've made a post about it somewhere...
If you can and want to, could you send me a pm with what you used and how you did it?
Also, doesn't fast boot lock you to only manual updates in the future?
Sent from my XT910
You've got PM!
The fastboot files are Motorola original, just like the ones they use at the service centers, so there should be no problem

Anyone in Canada get the ics update?

Even when i called rogers they said today via manual update....still nothing
is it just me ?
I haven't received it either. I'm in southern Ontario...I know they are saying location doesnt mean anything but I m tossing it out there. I am going to hope its because its Canada Day weekend and Rogers doesnt want to pay the overtime. Have some drinks and enjoy the weather! Hopefully by next weekend we will have it.
I live in Quebec Canada and nothing yet, I hope we get it after the long weekend

unlocking and updates...

Hi all. I unlocked my Phone via Cellunlocker.net. successfully. and I know that unlocked devices get updates sooner. Does that mean I will now get updates sooner? If not, is there any way of getting them sooner? without flashing or anything, just via kies.
here is what it says if that's any help

nope. unlocked devices/ unbranded get the update first....then locked ones to carriers get it next. sometimes months later.

nope, unlocked phones (SIM) dont have any special treatment, the only way to get updates earlier is by unbranding your phone and that's not even a reason to have it soon, it depends on the roll out
Fact is carriers get the update at the same time but do not push it out until tested and modded. Time scale varys.
Want updates join XDA and flash stock roms.

HELP! Galaxy S3 update - How?

I'm new to the site so please excuse my potential ignorance if this has been previously answered or if I missed anything.
So, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305. It was originally on T-Mobile UK but was completely unbranded so on startup doesn't show t-mobile, no network bloatware etc... and I have since had it unlocked (via unlock code, not root)
Waiting for the premium suite update has prompted me to wonder... as I am unlocked am I still governed by t-mobiles wait times to release the update (I actually use a voda SIM in it)? Or as its unlocked/unbranded should I effectively be at the front of the queue as it wereand receive it with other unlocked handsets? Or will I not get it at all as I'm not using a t-mobile SIM?
I'm becoming very impatient waiting for the update as got rid of my note ii in anticipation for the s3 receiving the update. Which after giving more thought to I'm not even sure if I will receive as I have the i9305 rather than the i9300 and they didn't really say specifically who the update was for?
I am on the cusp of rooting just so that I can add the premium suite on the Rom but have limited experience in rooting (only done it a couple of times) worried that I'll miss something and wont be able to return it to stock once the upgrade becomes available via kies as there are so many different guides/roms/software
Appreciate your thoughts

Don't quote me but I don't think it matters what SIM you have in, you should still see the update when it rolls out to that model number.. so long as your not rooted.

Check this live update every once in a while till your country receives the update and then start to panic

Update has nothing to do with locked or unlocked .
You get the TMobile update for your phone .
Or join XDA and flash a stock rom .

Thanks for the info so far. Can someone tell me if I need to do something specific to ensure I can restore to its original non rooted state in the future as I can't wait for the update anymore.
The update is out in the UK but I haven't received it yet

stock rooted rom official updates?

Hi,
my question is whether using the Firmware E97020j zip in the general forum, we are still able to use the OTA LG update server facility?
This is in anticipation of any updates for the beloved phone from LG.
thanks in advance
milind
When I used stock roms I was not able to update,maybe something to do with
Me not using it with att (the original carrier) as I recall getting an error message regarding the update server. Are you on AT&T? If so maybe you will be able. Best regards!!

hi, thanks for the reply.
Well I also am not on the AT and T network. So maybe its a no-go for us.

There will be no more update. 20j is the latest and probably last
Chances are slim to none that there will be another official update from att but if there was there's no chance a non att user could have it pushed to their device.

The chance of an update is .000000001/0%.
