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 .

... *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 have rooted HTC One, I noticed a new software update was released by AT&T, and I wondered if it I updated it, would my root be gone? I tried to update it and after downloading the update, my phone restarted and booted into TWRP recovery and I rebooted and there was no update installed. Are any rooted HTC One users experiencing the same problem? What should I do, should i just forget about the OTA updates?

Anytime you root the phone it changes the stock recovery so when the OTA tries to run it fails because the recovery needed to do it is the stock one. Just wait for someone to post a updated ota that works with twrp.
For the most part, updates will be baked into roms so you won't need to take the OTA

On top of stock recovery, you need to have all stock apps present on the phone. They can be frozen, but they must be there. The first thing any official OTA does it check the signatures of all .apks it expects to find on the device--if any are missing, the update will abort. I learned today that when you unlock your bootloader, several HTC-specific applications are automatically deleted from the phone and this will prevent the phone from accepting the OTA. You'll need to either A) replace those apks, or B) flash a stock NAND backup, flash stock recovery, do the update, then re-flash custom recovery and continue on from there.

I installed it and it worked great. I have a unlocked bootloader but I am not rooted.
AT&T update file name and location?
Same experience. If I knew the location and file downloaded through AT&T Software Update, perhaps I could install it through TWRP. Anyone know? Tried?

Please...a little advice
Many thanks for all your help.
One question:
I have an HTC One (ATT) - SW Ver 1.26.502.10, bootloader unlocked, rooted, bloatware erased.
If I flash CM 10.1 - does this include the latest OTA update.
Many thanks
So I have a rooted One M8 with TWRP recovery running 4.4.2. Recently an update came through for 4.4.3, to get rid of the notification I froze the updater. Now for the purpose of getting Viper One, I need 4.4.3. But when I press software updates it says 'There are no software updates avalible for your phone'. But there was prior to freezing the updater. Help me :silly:
(PS. Apologies if this thread is poorly located)

Hey thanks for the reply but I don't think my problem is that complicated, is there anything you could recommend? The option to update was available until I froze the updater, now it's not.
:good:
Can anyone help?
I gave you a direct link from the rom you are trying to install that tells you what needs to be done. Not sure what else you would need. If you aren't getting prompts to update via OTA, there's 2 ways to update the firmware needed. Either via the official RUU for your phone and carrier (which probably isn't even available yet)or via a firmware package that's flashable via fastboot but you must be S-Off. Sometimes you can force the phone to check for updates by clearing the Google Services Framework, but this is not advised as it can have unintended consequences with how Google sees the phone and sends notifications and such. Plus just because there IS an available update does not mean you're next in line. Many carriers have staged roll outs and it'll get there when it gets there.
If it's too difficult for you then you either shouldn't be messing with custom roms or seek help from a qualified shop.

Thank you, the problem did however solve it's self. It turns out OTA updates are queued and by freezing the app I had reset my position. The update is now available.
I'm going to flash a stock recovery and update the firmware.
Hi,
I am on stock rom, not rooted but I have still not received the update for 4.4.4. I am sim-unlocked so i don't know if that has anything to do with it. Even when i try to manually search for the update through the settings, it says it can't find the update.
Appreciate any help!

Are you using the phone on the att network? If not you have to load it manually.

Yeah, I am on AT&Ts network. I have disabled AT&Ts apps though. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Depending on how you disabled them you might not even be able to flash the ota. You have to have untouched /system and stock recovery in order to take the ota.

Only disabled them through Settings->Apps. Didn't tinker with anything in this phone as i did with my previous ones.
If you don't mind setting up the phone again, you can RUU (will wipe user data).
Similarly, sometimes folks have gotten the OTA to kick in after doing a factory reset.
Neither of these are ideal I know. But it is what it is.
I'm looking to update to the november update by using adb since my phone doesn't seem to be getting the update. It's an unlocked version from Google but I use it on Verizon. Do I need to download the verizon version of the update or just the generic?
download the google AND the verizon. Flash google, then verizon over it?

Verizon version. I just did it, for some reason it's not getting pushed out. Same situation as you, Google device VZW provider.

Thanks, I just sideloaded the November update and it worked. It looks like it's a major issue for Verizon users and the Pixel 6 and some others at launch.

Yeah I saw that on Reddit.. Easy enough to do the side load until they figure it out.
Problem after updating. So now after updating using the verizon version of the update, it's losing the connection to verizon data, calls and sms. Any ideas?
Hi all, I've got this same issue (unlocked P6 being used on VZW unable to get the Nov security update). Seems like the official guidance is to sideload the VZW version (SD1A.210817.036.A8) and then you'll be on the VZW update path. However, I'm getting an error when trying to sideload. On my phone, it says:
Code:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
E: Footer is wrong
Update package verification took 0.1s (result 1).
E: Signature verification failed
E: Error 21
I've verified that I'm using the correct file (oriole-sd1a.210817.036.a8-factory-65854912.zip) and verified the file with the SHA-256. Any suggestions for how I might fix this?

Mine did that only once. Rebooted and it's never happened again. Also by sideloading the VZW version we should then get the OTAs moving forward from what I understand.

Are you sure it's the correct file? That looks like the full factory image and not the OTA.

So you lost network connectivity completely it seems. As per the previous poster reboot and it shouldn't happen again. Same thing happened here some days ago.

I rebooted multiple times, reseated the sim card and it was still doing it randomly. Took it to Verizon and they got me a new sim card. Seems to have fixed it now. Part of it was that it didn't look like it was fully activated either. I logged in MyVerizon and it still showed my 2XL as my phone instead of the 6.

Glad it's fixed. Faulty SIM was gonna be my next option. I thought that's what mine was gonna be but luckily the reboot seems to have squared it away.
So is everyone on Verizon with an unlocked phone from Google using the Verizon version of the OTA? I've been on a locked 3XL for almost three years, so it's taking me a bit to get used to things again. I've got root working perfectly and am afraid I'm going to mess it up when I sideload the OTA.

I used the Verizon version cause they are my carrier. I'm not rooted but I would imagine flashing the OTA via sideload would kill root. So would flashing the factory image via fastboot.
