What is the purpose of today's firmware update? Does anybody knows. It takes a while for the update process. I just dont see anything different. Thanks for reading.
I am very interested in a large OTA update for reasons found here..

Maybe its a Kernal push update with other bugs. I can't hardly wait for the custom build for this release to come out.
If you don't mind me asking, what's the build number after the update?

today's update build was 9.4.2.21
I'm guessing this update isn't the hyped updated we've heard about, because in .21 face unlock is nowhere to be found
That update is set to roll out officially tomorrow anyways, so no harm done
battery stats in settings among other things, theres a thread in general on it

I have a qeuestion regarding these OTA Updates
[*]My Hero is from Orange UK. But as of now, I m running SuperHero in it. So is it necessary to go back to the stock ROM to get the updates through OTA. Or is it enough to be connected.?
What for the official 2.1 release you mean? If you update you're unlikely to ever get it rooted again (though i'm sure someone will do it in time). But you'll be stuck on 2.1 til HTC update it (unlikely). If I were you i'd just wait for the updates to come from the community.
If you're talking about SuperHero OTA updates just run hte villainrom updater...

Thanks for the reply. And sorry for being not so clear. Yes, I was referring to Official OTA updates.
Just wanted know whether we have on the orange network or is it suffice if we connected to Internet.?

If you wanted the official Orange update (presuming it did come OTA), then you would need to be running the official ROM.
SuperHero is gonna be getting an update though which will make it more like the official ROM
I'd strongly advise not to install any stock update, as that will include a new SPL, which will try to prevent you rooting again. Stick with a custom ROM for now, and then you'll be able to grab a 'safe' copy of the final ROM from a dev over here when it's available. That way, you get a final copy but you also keep root.

Thanks fella. Much appreciated. I am very well aware of the effects of the official ROM Update. I bought my Hero from Orange UK, then I unlocked it and I am using it in India now. So was curious and confused regarding the update. The only thing which custom 2.1 ROMs didn't give me is a 'working exchange sync'. Each time I tried to sync it gives me an error caused by security certs. So I m still relied upon my Black berry for my official emails.

is rather shcoking as I m not able imagine going back to 1.5
Very tempted to go for the EN.EU update mentioned in the EternityProject thread over in the developers section (i.e. the "leaked version"?), but was also wondering if anyone knows when this update will be made available "officially"? There's quite a bit of talk about a "december" release on other forums, but those are all US Droid Razr forums with very little mention of this current en.eu update. Any ideas?
I wouldn't update... breaks root and, like the Bionic, there night not be a way back onto the official upgrade path.
fair enough.. but no news on the official update from anyone then?
*tumbleweed*
Impossible to find any info on when/if this is ever coming officially from Moto. By the sounds of it, those that have tried the update from the dev thread don't seem to be having any problems (except for loss of root I believe).. but it'd be nice to have some more info if there's any info to be had?
Or should I just bite the bullet (root not important to me - yet) ? Kholk, any thoughts? Will I be able to update to any other "official" updates from moto after upgrading to this one?
I'm considering upgrading my SGS II to the released Europe ICS firmware, but can this then be updated further via ODIN to the official UK version update when it comes out next week?
All I wanted to understand was whether if I updated to the Europe version whether I'd be commited do that update schedule, or I could go back to 'official' release later on if I wanted (if it got a further update earlier for instance)
Apologies if it was an inapproriate question

do not apologize mate you are entitled to ask questions so forget the trolls who are flaming you.
more than likely the UK update will be similar to the LPQ one if not the same version anyway. so your best bet is wait and flash it through odin when it is released here. That is all the best you can do..stick with what you have and then when the release gets here to us then feel free to update through odin

I don't see a problem with people asking questions. But asking if you can flash an EU rom on an EU handset is like asking if its possible to spread butter on bread. Its simple understanding that can be done with reading.

true but it is always to be safe than sorry and even if it is straight forward understanding for some they just like to be sure...so if you did not want to reply to him just ignore it rather than give a smart ass answer like you did.
Hi, ya'll!
I posted this question yesterday, nobody responded.
I'm running the .33 EU leak and I got a notification that an official update will be coming within a week.
So when they finally push the OTA can I update directly from the leak or do I have to flash it?
what do I have to do to go back official??

If nobody replies: wait and DON'T create another thread asking the same question. This just clutters the forums and makes it hard to have some overview about what's happening.
To your question: Again, wait. You are not the only one not having that official ICS update yet. When it gets pushed out to everybody, be sure that someone on here will make a guide for us 33 leak users.
If you already got that message, I'd even say that you can update the standard OTA way, but that's just a wild guess.
Thank you!
I looked around the forum and they said that the .33 eu is the final OTA build weird because I recieved that update notification.
>>I'm just curious if anybody else has received notification of a new update from AT&T recently, and if so, what was it?
I've had my E970 for about a month now. When I first received the LGOG, I did receive a FOTA notification and did the update. Then
I rooted, unlocked BL and installed TheBase.
Last night, I received another notification regarding an OTA software update being ready to install. Since I was actually ok with the stock LG ROM, I made a backup and then went ahead and let the update install.
Most of you won't be surprised to hear that the device rebooted into recovery, I received an error message, and the update failed.
Luckily, I didn't brick anything. I like all the information we get before allowing an app to install, and I can't believe there is no info given about what an update to our OS might contain. A version number [4.0.4 or 4.1.2?] and a short description saying bugfix / security fix / new features would go a long way here.
Personally, I kinda like the LG touches to Android and am looking forward to the official JB update.
I plan on sticking with stock-based ROMS on this device until it's no longer supported and then going back to CM.
I'm running Android 4.0.4
Baseband: APQ8064 / MDM9x15M
Kernel: 3.0.21
The Base 0.6.5
E97010l
I just checked for an update and...
now it says it is up to date?
I wish I had more information, and I DID search the forums and elsewhere to try and answer this myself first.
Now I'm thinking that AT&T is just trying to update me to their latest software and away from a custom ROM.
Incidentally, the OG is the first Android that I've actually done a FOTA on. I received the Atrix 4G and the X10a long after their release, and went immediately to custom ROMs.
It's just updates to E97010c. Nothing worth updating for.
