I didnt even know there was an update coming, when I got to work at 8am my phone had a notification telling me to update....
I had to update profile before the OTA update would show.
I woke up at 630 for work and noticed an alert on my device telling me an update was available for download. I was expecting that next week.

as the title says, after rooting, i am unable to check for any firmware updates. i realize it doesnt mater right now as there is noithing out right now, but i like to check often just in case tmobile releases something or samsung. when i go to check for updates by selecting settings>software update and then a warning message pops up: DM initalisation is not ready, Check network or SIM card
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
I was about to ask this same question, and yes i am also rooted. Just wanted to post that you are not alone on this one.
thats good to know, i was beginning to wonder if i was the only one having this problem, for now i unrooted and flashed back to stock using odin, but i miss having root and some of the apps i was using. I am not willing to give up the ability to check for new firmware though as my source at work told me that updates are coming in the next 2 weeks and that we should be getting a text message about them in the next week or so. and just so people know, it wasnt a tmobile customer service rep, i work for deutsche telekom so we here things first usually.
I have this same issue, where I'm unable to check for firmware updates. I am not rooted though... I just bought the phone today and when I click the 'Software Updates' option it says 'No firmware' in a pop-up message. This problem is not only associated with rooted devices.

Read the first post again... yours is the normal message that is displayed when no firmware update is available...
Also, I'm rooted and the update seems to be working fine.
I'm rooted and it pops no firmware.

If I flash back to stock it works fine when I use odin to go back to stock, but if I reroot it says the same thing. Nothing ever stops it from saying what I posted in the OP. I need some help funding a fix or ok won't be able to get the froyo update when it releases.

If I use oclf to root and apply the fix, then unroot using oclf, will the factory ota not work?

Duuude don't worry about it. People will post ROM clockwork backups of the froyo release / stock odin flashes of it / etc.
Anyone will be able to update, however they do so... And just wait til you hear about it THEN unroot and update
yep i'm rooted to and it checks for filmware just fine .
im rooted and get the no firmware message

... *sigh* Because there isn't a UPDATE for the Vibrant.
IF I ROOT, WILL I GET OTA UPDATES?
Yes. Rooting will not prevent this, unless you flash a custom ROM that will block receiving the OTA update. If you do receive and download the OTA update, you will lose root. Typically within hours of the OTA becoming available, thanks to some fine XDA folks you can get the update WITH root. You would simply need to download and flash the update like a normal ROM.

Rooting doesn't mess with your OTA updates, when you update with the OTA it will remove your ROOT. The only way to interfere with OTA's are flashing custom ROMs.
But you cannot get the ota update when it releases if the check for update option under settings is not working. All I want to know is why the firmware update option is broken and how to fix it.

When I first got my phone I got the message Check network or SIM card. I rooted the phone and still got that same message. I restored to origanal and got the message'No firmware'. Now again I am getting Check network or SIM card.

It seems like your phone was more than just rooted. What method did you use to root?
Note: Yeah, the "No Firmware" message is the normal message you get if there's no update available, aka, your phone is searching for and/or receiving OTA updates just fine.

This was my plan. Although, I'm reading posts that imply that even though a phone is rooted, if the user hasn't flashed a custom ROM, they'll still get the OTA update, and getting the OTA update will unroot the phone.
When this happens, root-necessary apps like ryanza's lag fix, titanium backup and android system info won't work anymore right? Will they need to be uninstalled and reinstalled? Or will I just need to re-root?
Sorry, I'm new to Android and don't know the typical process stock ROM root users go through with OTA updates.
Genuinely, thanks for any feedback.
Yes I wanna know this too. I'm holding off on getting apps for root only because I think they might mess something up. Also I thought I read set cpu spook might mess up the vibrant running oclf. Anyone?

I just went upstairs to get my wife's phone so I could root it for her and flash clockwork. Saw something in the Notifications bar, dropped it down, and it was on OTA update from T-mobile. So I decided to run it first to see what it was....should be done soon. Just wanted to find out if anyone else got an OTA today.....and what it might be.
UPDATE: So it just finished and I went to "about phone" and it's still 2.1 Update 1. ECLAIR. So I don't know what it was. Think I'm just gonna root and flash anyway.....oh well. If anyone has any thoughts they'd be appreciated.
The T-Mobile update was just some bug fixes. Keis has the froyo update.
Yeah I knew it was available via Kies.... I just wasn't sure what the OTA was.
When i did the ota update then tried to put another rom on it soft bricked my damn phone. Just incase it happens to you, just be careful

I woke up this morinng 6:45am CST to Verizon OTA update (4G) downloading. I am not very good with this stuff so I apologize in advance for my ignorance. My phone is rooted and running 2.2xx (S-off). I accepted the OTA and the phone rebooted only to leave the phone stuck at the HTC screen. I was able to recover and reflash old rooted rom. So the phone is functional now. I wish to be able to actually install this new OTA in case this is 2.3 coming down from Verizon. Can anyone tell me the steps I need to take to make this happen while leaving my phone rooted?
If leaving the phone rooted is not an option for receiving this OTA update, what steps should I take to make the OTA update complete successfully? Thanks in advance!

You can't do updates while rooted, if you want the update you need to unroot. I'm in Dallas too and I didn't get any update notification, weird.

This is pics of OTA
The updates are real...
Can you point me in the right direction to unroot?
THANKS!
That is the most recent update it is not a new one sadly. Right from VZ software update PDA it list Note: The size for this software upgrade is 73.5MB. Soon but not soon enough GB will be here.
That sucks... I find it odd that it just started bugging me overnight but I am (patiently) awaiting GB. Thanks for input.
I got the OTA notice last week and dismissed it as I always do to let the update fallout hit and wait and see how it was going.
Well, now, I get no update notification even if I manually check Settings > About > System Firmware Update.
Normally, OTA messages nag the hell out of you until you update. Now, it shows nothing is available as though Asus pulled the .28 OTA.
ps - yes, to preempt the comments, I know I could do the update off the Asus website, but that is not what I am asking
I'll start with the obvious stupid question: are you sure you didn't update and don't know it?
If you rooted or modified system apps it won't update.

your putting the cart before the horse. You can't have a failed OTA due to modifying system apps until you get the OTA notification to update. So your referencing something that cannot happen until AFTER the OTA update is initiated.
Well you didn't answer the question. I had this happening on my acer iconia. Root + removed system apps the updates didn't show up anymore.

My original question answers your question. So it was a question you needed not ask.
And my answer DOES answer your question. But since your not getting it.. I will try to make it crystal clear....
How the heck could I have a failed update if I dont get the OTA update notification to even update??? I have explained this now in my last 2 posts, though it should have been obvious from the 1st post.

You didn't by chance freeze the DMClient?
No, I did not freeze, kill off, quit or stop the DMClient.
(though I did not even know that process was related to the OTA update or OTA update notification).
i think its just a bug or asus's new thing
i think it'll only tell you once that there is an update as for everybody else, once they tried once and fail, it would say there is no update... sorta weird i think....
Yeah, I have never seen the Asus OTA update nag only nag me 1 time and then never again. Normally, it will nag until you HAVE to update. Same with phones.
This time, I dismissed it 1 time and it never came back and now, I cannot even do it manually in Settings.
It seems like they pulled the OTA update since you cannot even trigger it manually from within Settings.
BTW, I updated my wife's with .28 the same day I dismissed mine.
I got my OTA update a few hours ago (Germany).
Try a soft (pin) reset maybe? Just a shot in the dark.

That is not what he was saying. He is saying if you removed any system apps before installing .28. Not if the update failed and you don't get it again. -_-
I just got my tf201 today. It is on Honeycomb 3.2.1. I tried to update and I get this message. there is no update available for your device currently. The build number is HTK75.US_epad-8.8.3.33-20111223. Kernal version 2.6.36.3
hi guys, first let me say i'm a former GS2 owner and used to flash all the latest official OS using odin
since i got my GS3, i said i will update via official otas and skip the flashing via odin.
i love updates and hate being left behind, and i now there is a new update [mine has the LF2] for my unbranded-unlocked i9300 and i check on mine 3 times a day and nothing comes via ota.
the main reason i got the unbranded-unlocked-international version was to get updates asap.
i know otas gets released by regions, and thats a think i really need to understand and i need your help on that, thanks...
I think LFB is a Kies update and LF2 was just an incremental OTA update. Even though my phone has the LF2 OTA update, when I plug it into Kies and hit update, it reports I am using LF1.

Nothing in recent updates worthwhile .

Only help for OTA is Samsung .
All XDA will tell you is to flash stock rom via Odin .
You could use CHECKFUS to double check the actual update status for your phone .

Try the following -
Connect the phone to kies via usb.
In case an update is available, kies will notify you. Now dont click update via kiew.
Disconnect the phone from usb and check for OTA update in the phone.
My phone does not show any OTA updates even if there is an update. I always need to first connect it to kies and once kies detects an update , the phone finds the update via OTA.
