Is this normal for a Prime on the original ICS update and rooted? I want to check for the new firmware that is suppose to fix GPS for many people but I can't and it's not shown up automatically either. It's a US Prime and I'm in the UK but I got the ICS update here when it came out in the US.

I purchased a Motorolla Atrix 4G from eking (a local online store in NZ that seems to have now gone out of business) a couple of months back.
It is a AT&T phone. They have purchased it in the US, and sent to Hong Kong to be ROMed with the HK software rather than using a unlock code. I found this out when I rang them about something else. My problem is that this leaves me in a situation where I don't know exactly what they have done to the phone.
Today I got a message on the phone saying that a system update was available, I assume that this is the gingerbread update that just came out and have read about.
Does anyone know how to tell if it is safe to upgrade? Eking are being douches when I email them saying "I think you’ll have to do the update manually if you want, it won’t work with the automatic update from the moto website. Please be aware there’s risks updating your phone, it might cause system failure"
Model number: MB860
System version: Version4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US
Let me know if there are further specs you need to help me out.
Hello there!
I just received my USA Transformer Prime (I am from Spain) and in 10 minutes or so I couldn't get it to see any OTA. Do USA OTAs work out of USA or do you have to connect from a USA IP?
Thank you very much
I would say this is something you should be able to tell us soon
Dont worry, it should update. I have a US prime but I live in the UAE and I am on .13 now...and hope to get .14 soon! The first update came just a day after I switched it on.

Technically you can. Here is how:

That being said, I DO NOT recommend this method because you don't know how it might affect future OTAs. Honestly .13 was more or less a beta test and .14 just got release which fixes a lot of the problems in .13 so just wait a couple of days.
It doesn't seem to get any OTAs. I started in Honeycomb and it never told me to update, so I followed Gary Key's instructions ad updated manually via MicroSD. Now I am running .13.
Manual updates work perfectly, but it seems OTA doesn't. I hope they release .14 on the web soon (as I don't want to force update via blob just yet)
Thanks!
It works fine here in the UK.
I bought my TP in USA and i live in Argentina(South America). I downloaded all the other OTAs with no problem.

I recently received a Lumia 800 and am trying to get it on the latest firmware. Zune already install 8107, but the firmware update beyond 11451 isn't showing up. I tried the airplane mode, disable internet trick but it just says I have no updates available.
Does anyone know if all 800s should be getting this update?
Seems like a lot of them don't have it. Mine got 8107 but I still can't get the firmware update either.
What carrier are you on? Some few carriers decide themselves not to accept the update and not push it out I believe. It's up to the carriers themselves to distribute the updates and not MS. My guess is you are on some US carrier. The update should be out by now for everyone.
The update hasn't been rolled out for every product code yet. I just checked with navifirm and quite a few product codes are still stuck with version 11451. Same old nokia crap with product codes.

I see. Thanks for the clarification. My post is still true for some though!
Hi all,
I bought my prime a year ago in the states, it was from the famous BCOKAS series, which never received any OTA updates due to the missing serial number issue. Manual updates worked until jelly bean, which totally bricked it, I got it fixed via RMA. The catch is that RMA was in Europe, and when I got my prime back, it was loaded with the "WW epad..." firmware version. Now I'd like to update from .15 to .18, but still not getting OTA. If I try manually, should I download the WW update or the US one?
Thanks!

Same thing happened to me after RMA (BCOKAS) - when I bought it I had WW version, but after RMA I got US version.
With a new SKU I also got well-known serial issue so I couldn't receive OTAs anymore, and unlock tool didn't work.
Since then I'm using US manual updates as I really don't see any difference between those two.

The main difference is the amount of wifi channels. The WW version has more available up the higher end.

Yes, that's right, but when I was on WW SKU my prime couldn't see any wireless network above 11th channel (stock version)...
Indeed, WW update worked. Thanks!
Guys,
I get this update;

Im just new / noobie haha at this Huawei. But can somebody confirm for me if this has an issue or a throttle about the system updates?
I dont see any kind of Branding of the carrier, also dont see an splash screen at the startup of an carrieer.
Because I dont want being restricted by the carrier about the update policy of my carrier.
I'm afraid that this is an issue that if the update comes to example to the Netherlands or UK, so that the people without this ("branded-isch") carrier thing (forexample in Netherlands) will get the update early then the people who has this Carier/branded thing...
If I put an other SIMcard like forexample Vodafone, this will not popup, Only popup with the T-mobile simcard, it makes sense because I bought it at T-mobile.
Why Im making wories is because before I went to the Tmobileshop, I bought the phone without an contract at the Mediamarkt (Techshop) and put the same SIMcard in it what I have right now, and there it doesn't any thing popup what it does right now;
I just wanna to be sure otherwise I wanna cancel my contract and gonna get an other mate 20 pro without this being branded.
Is this phone now being branded?
Sounds very similar to what I have with my network in the UK which is '3'.
My phone was purchased from them on contract and is a dual sim version.
When I first but my sim in it said there was a software update available. It turns out it's just a carrier custom update which adds a splash screen and some selected apps. From previous experience with Huawei updates it seems they do not release updates here until all the carriers here approve the update which can obviously cause delays. As such I have chosen to not install the update in the hope I will soon get offers the latest 146 update. I don't know if this will actually work or not but here's hoping.
The phone keeps downloading the update but I just go into the software updater app and delete the data.

Yeah this is annoying me also... I have tweeted three & got the usual 'We customise it to give the best experience', but when I then asked about being removed from this update channel as the one they're pushing is an older version than what's already installed & I'd rather keep up to date with the monthly security updates, they've not replied...
For now, I've turned off Auto Downloading of updates now so that's one part of the problem solved, however, Software Update app still keeps posting notifications about the update, even though I've removed all permissions for it to do this.
