So I was using the Flyer last night and it said there was a firmware update available. Before I updated I went to check the Flyer was on 2.3.3 as I assumed this was the 2.3.4 update. So I checked and I am on 2.3.3 and went to check for the update again and now it says I've got the latest version, even though I didnt download the update. I've turned the Flyer off back on etc. Left it over night, still not showing. Anyone else had this problem? I want to update . I don't really want to restore the Flyer but if I have to I will. I just dunno if that'll fix it.

Ok so I followed the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057003&page=8 and in the end I picked GreyBlur.
Now I get asked if I want to OTA my cell and I think its due to my system version reading back "Version.4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US" and I'm sure thats due to installing GreyBlur, It really should read as a Telstra system version instead but it would appear GreyBlur changed it to ATT.
Anyway of resolving this ?
you should change the title to after installing grey blur (some people may think there is an telstra OTA to be had). this is because the build prop is for the AT&T version as grey blur is based off of that and the update was pushed out to the masses yesterday. you could change the build prop file I guess. which line exactly and to what Im not exactly sure. when greyblur gets updated with the current firmware like gingerblur was, it will cease.
Well I modified the build.prop file to display 1.83 as the system version and so far this has not worked to resolve my issue with the OTA update nag.
I have even gone as far as to rename the otacerts.zip file to otacerts.bak in hopes it would prevent OTA updates and that has not worked either.
I by no means a newbie when it comes to figuring things out or following instructions so my next attempt will be to copy the build.prop file from GingerBlur 3.1 over mine and see what happens.
Ok tried replacing the build.prop file with the one from Gingerblur 3.1 and still I get the OTA nag so not sure how to resolve this, any ideas would be wonderful ...
Interesting, then it appears its reading the info from somewhere else. Here's two things you can try.
check your about phone and make sure the changes were pass through.
Check on the motoblur site if it still reads your device at 4.1.57.
It doesn't look like a greyblur is coming for a couple of days since Ken is on exams.
Ok checked to make sure the changes took effect on the phone and they read back "4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US" just how I wanted it so then I checked the motoblur website and it as well reads back the same thing "4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US" so I'm stumped as to why it continues to tell me there is an available update for me.
Of course as of today I've been getting a different message which says "This update has been recalled. No action required." This message pops up every so often and is more bothersome then the last lol.
Anyways I guess I'll just wait to see what comes down the pipe on the new release of GreyBlur, One thing is for sure some people out there MAY by mistake take the ATT 1.83 update and I think it would soft brick there phone as I'm fairly sure OTA updates overwrite the bootloader as well as opposed to the SBF updates.
yeah I mentioned that in another forum as well. The other thing is that some people that are on the actual 1.83 are getting the notification as well for some reason.
i'm on the new update had it for a week now(did sbf), i've not had the problems that some have mentioned having, it seems to be running great, BUT I have noticed more wifi disconnects since the update, and not sure why because i'm close the the router and have perfect signal and not using bt either.
Ok so what I've done is froze updater 2.2.1 with Titanium Backup and so far so good no more OTA update nags, Will post back if this doesn't hold.
German o2 Flyer - routed + S-OFF
I went back to stock
RUU_Flyer_O2_DE_1.40.207.5_Radio_20.35.30.089BU_38 09.04.04.21_M_release
But the OTA 2.27.207.1 (Android 2.3.4) never appeared. (I only used WIFI cause i wont be able to use gsm/3g connection the next days)
Waited a wole day + rebooted...
manually trying to update its telling me, I have the latest version.
What am I doing wrong? (Or isnt it working over WIFI only - will get GSM/3G monday again)
Or could somebody please upload the OTA File?
Or maybe the complete new ROM
I need this, cause I want to check if some FCs are rom related or App problems
Any suggestions?
Or can somebody upload the latest OTA
Or maybe even the whole new RUU
Thank you
wait i guess. HTC doesn't want anything to do with the Flyer, so they're holding off on updates..
I wiped... reinstalled...
only the H-Boot ond S-OFF are left.
still Not getting an ota update
I have the same problem; I went back to stock, s-off and I have got OTA update notification, I downloaded, installed, reboot and stuck in recovery.... it seems to be unable to update once you s-off the device.....sad but true !

wait a minute... i dont even get to the Part with the download notification.
Have read about the problems, but seems most of the guys managed to get it working after several reboots... so I'm gonna risk it,too.
have you been connected to WiFi or 3g?
I have only WIFI. my SIM card is expired, so I'm not gonna renew for a while !
Ok, so I just updated to 2.17.651.5 stock rooted...but my phone is still telling me that there is a 29.13 MB update available...WTF? Did I miss something in the update process? I have unchecked the auto check for updates, but this thing wont go away.
How can I fix this?
TRY A FASTREBOOT WITH AUTO CHECK BOX UNCHECKED

Nope, didnt help. As soon as it rebooted, it showed the update icon...but if I go to manually check for updates, it says there are none from HTC or firmware.
I know with my Samsung phone I could take any update except firmware without having to worry about any changes or losing root, but Im not sure with HTC...can I just let it do its thing and not have to worry about it changing my hboot or busting root? Its only 29 MB so I really dont know what it could be.
I WOULD MAKE AN RECOVERY FILE JUST INVADE AN BE CAREFUL AN READ EVERY THING

Or get proper firmware from ww.samfirmware.com and flash with Odin.You cal also root it afterwards.
Long story short I have an M7 running 4.4.2 on AT&T that I haven't touched in about a year. I just booted it up everything is working properly except when I go to Software Update it tells me the software is up to date and that I can check again in 24 hours.
I've tried rebooting, no luck. Any other ideas? Thanks!
When you say you haven't touched it in a year, do you mean you don't use the phone at all? Or that you just haven't updated or modified it? If you just don't use the phone and don't mind starting from scratch you can run the 7.23.502.1 RUU. You can download it directly from HTC, http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html. I used this a couple of weeks ago and everything went smoothly and the phone runs great.
If you don't want to go that route and want the OTA, some have suggested changing the date on your phone ahead a few days and trying Software Update again. It may trigger the update. I have never tried that so can't say for sure if it'll work. And I haven't seen the OTA zips posted to update it manually.
