My Moto X wont find the Lollipop update, it keeps saying my phone's software is up to date, Yet it is currently running on 4.4.4 and I KNOW for a fact that this phone is compatible with Lollipop.
I have tried clearing the data in Google System Framework, and tried numerous times, and still no update.
I want to download this update manually, because I don't see any other options. So I have been learning how to do this using SDK tools. But no one has made an actual download for my system version and phone model! My system version is: 21.31.54.victara_tmo
Its running on Metro Pcs, originally a T-mobile phone. Called both companies and Motorola and no. one. is. helping
How do I manually update this phone!!!!

I will start by saying I've never done any updating, rooting, unlocking, etc on any Android device. I used to do some with Blackberry but I've just stayed stock with my Android devices.
I'm currently using the HTC Droid DNA and I chatted online today with an HTC support person regarding my issues. I bought my phone from an individual last year and apparently he must have unlocked the bootloader. I'm running Android Version 4.1.1 and my software # is 1.15.605.4 701RD. Apparently I've missed the last 2 updates and I don't have the option from my phone to manually check for updates. Based on my chat today with HTC there's nowhere online they will allow me to download the updates. They mentioned taking it to a Verizon store but I don't want to do that. I would really like to be able to get the newest software version. Can anyone help me get the newest updates?

If it's rooted, install flash image gui from play store, install twrp recovery and then flash santod040's stock rom, to bring your phone to the latest stuff

Now first thing first. Try a factory reset.. backup your data first. If that doesn't fix the issue comment and Ill tell you what to do next.
Are you trying to be on the latest firmware as it comes from HTC (Stock), or the latest firmware modified with custom options and tweaks as in a custom ROM?
I followed the instructions here to sim-unlock my Verizon XT1528 and am now using it on Consumer Cellular. I have disabled most of the built-in verizon and moto apps, however it seems that the OTA updater has already downloaded a system update, as it keeps repeatedly prompting me to install the update.
Will installing the update cause any issues with my current service? Will it need to be re-unlocked? Or will it continue working the way it is after the update has been installed? Or will the "other improvements" make it useless to me.
The current software version is 23.11.17.survia_verizon.verizon.en.US.vzw, build # LPI23.29-17, android version 5.1 (screenshot)
The new software version it wants to install is 23.16.5.en.US. (and it really wants to install it!).
Part of the reason I'm concerned is that according to the page on their website, "This update brings Android™ 5.1 Lollipop to your phone along with other improvements", however the phone already has 5.1 on it.
To be clear, I am talking about the verizon XT1528 Moto E 2nd Generation with the locked bootloader--it is not possible to root it or install another ROM.
Lastly, if updating will lock me out of using Consumer Cellular on it, is there any way to remove the update and/or prevent the prompt from showing up again.

For what it worth this is what mine is running. I'm on AT&T though. I don't know if that would make any difference or not.
Worked Fine

Note that the original post was inquiring about a previous update.
There is an update in the past couple of days or so (late April - early May 2016) that brings it up to 23.201.2 etc etc , build LPIS 23.29-17.5.-2
Moto says changes are "Includes the updates of Android security patches until April 1st 2016."
GSM still works after this latest May update.
I have a Motorola Moto Pure (XT-1575) which is rooted. I performed the update from Marshmallow to Nougat using the steps provided by a development post here on XDA. I have no problems with the operation of the phone under Nougat. The annoying artifact I do have is this constant nagging from the Motorola generated message to update my phone. Since the phone is rooted I cannot use the generic Motorola update anyway.
Does any one know how to kill this pest?
I have an unlocked M8 running official Android 6.0.1 Lollipop. When I check for software updates, I'm told that there are no updates available and my phone is up to date. I know that this phone can take Marshmellow so I am puzzled why it is not showing as being available.
I contacted HTC and after looking at the imei they told me to delete data from the updater and download manager and then try again. I did so but still no sign of marshmellow. HTC assure me that it will eventually become available but I am not so sure. Does anyone have ideas about what is going on?
S9+ Update help
Hello I have an AT&T S9+ That was stuck on the ARF4 Version, using Firmware.science I was able to get it to version ARG8, my goal is to get to Android Pie.
My question is, should I keep updating following the order on Firmware.science, or should I update from ARG8 to ARI6 to ARIB to RJ5 until I get to SAG Like in the table here in this AT&T Article?

If your going to install android 9 using the patched Odin and downloads from SamMobile/SamFirm/etc then I would just update using the latest update.
I would suggest using the non home_csc if you do. This will cause the phone to act like it was factory data reset, but it will ensure that all of the update has been applied. Granted you will have to reinstall everything, so if you have any backups via Samsung Smart Switch it could help cut down the time spent restoring your data.
Again it's a suggestion, you could probably use the other CSC file, but I have found that doing so could lead into problems... at least on mine it had, but only for the software update via OTA. Since I plan on using SamFirm/Odin for updates I am not concerned about it.
Using this route would give you the current OS release and all updates in one go... its not like an incremental update that you have to apply in a specific order (like with some Windows OS updates and hotfixes)
