I have been waiting since its been announced, tried LG Bridge every day twice since then and still no update, do any of you have that same issue when attempting to update to MM?
LG bridge keeps saying I'm up to date.
Thanks
I received the LG Bridge update last monday. If you like having your phone rooted ATM, i wouldnt update yet.
Received... did not update. It's been sitting on my non-stock rom for at least a week. Waiting on reliable root.
not rooted, just want the MM update lol
I received my OTA this morning when I got up. All installed and working fine

I received my OTA this morning when I got up. All installed and working fine. Sorry that I posted it wrong. Got in a hurry
I assume you are referring to the OTA? LG Bridge is how I updated, and hopefully root will get here fast.

yea, im just looking forward to having doze back, I miss my Nexus 6 that way, I still haven't gotten the update OTA or bridge
I received my update this morning - I haven't updated yet, don't want to lose root and TWRP. I have copied the update.zip file off the phone to a Google Drive if anyone is interested.
UPDATE.ZIP
me on the 1st day
I got it on Sunday. But I'm waiting for root. I can't live without arliberator.
got it but waiting for root
It just downloaded tonight, I haven't installed it yet. Don't know if I am. It's looking like it will be harder to root on Android 6.0. I'm trying to find out the deal now

Hey all,
I just got a replacement g tab from Woot today and I charged it an turned it on....it is at version 3389 and I can not get it to update to 3588. I have wifi connected and can access the web, etc... I've tried rebooting 5 times now and have tried the manual updating in the app tray and it says its up to date with 3389. Any ideas what is going on? I'm hoping maybe just viewsonics site that supplies the updates is down but not sure how I can verify that. I'm really hoping I don't have another g tab with issues....

Search for homebrew on the site here as it has all the stock ROMs
I had the same issue with a replacement I got today. Just used the stock one from the Dev forum. Do not know what is going on. Probably just a down server.

Hmm... down update server? Could it be viewsonic is gearing up for its next OTA? Rumor has it pegged for arround this time.
Thanks for the fast replies. Do you think that this problem is not a hardware issue? I wouldn't think this is hardware related and lean toward a problem with viewsonics servers as we'll, but I don't want to keep this tablet if it has a issue..... I see the stock Rome when I search for homebrew so that's easy enough to flash if nobody thinks this tablet has any hardware problems.
Possibly a new udpdate? Wouldn't THAT be nice.
Time to test that theory! Going back to stock to see what happens with the OTA.....
EDIT: INTERESTING. I just dropped 2967 on mine (nvflash) and it says there's no update. That should not be the case. Methinks there's something going on.....
EDIT2: Nothing on 3588 stock either (no updates). But will leave my device that way, for now.
I just got 2 gtabs from woot today and both are doing the same thing, stuck at 3389 and will not update. Even tried volume + and power on. Did not help. Thought maybe was cuz I am in Canada.
I guess the good news is it sounds like I don't have a hardware issue! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a new update from VS.

Yes it would then maybe Adam from VS could move on with his quest for a developer involved movement as requested last month? This would be the best place instead of starting a new place on VS web page
But for bandwidth usage they should use there service.
Reflashed mine back to stock 2967 earlier today and it wouldn't wouldn't do the OTA either. Kept saying it was up to date and never had that problem until today. Hope they are planning something nice for us.
I actually just got mine and it has 1.0-2638 and it's saying it's up to date
so having not done an OTA update, can I still install Vegan 5.1?
just got my Gtab from woot. for some strange reason, I didnt't get the whole setup screen on plugging it in and turning it on, mor did I get notice of an OTA update after getting the wifi going.
can I go ahead and load Vegan 5.1 anyway with the 3389 on it?
also, but perhaps tangential to this thread, which Kernel if any should I install on the Vegan 5.1? Clemsyn? Pershoot?
after the Vegan is installed, will it do a setup all over again? I'd like that.
my first post!
thanks!
My guess is that everybody that got their Gtab today from the woot is trying to download the update and it might have crashed the viewsonic update servers. Guessing Viewsonic wasn't expecting thousands of peeps trying to download updates all on the same day and didn't prepare. Or..........I could be totally wrong and they are getting the server ready for a Honeycomb realease?
I think most of them were received last week, there shouldn't be a huge number of new users.
Barcod - did you have to send your old tab back first before woot send out the new one? I ordered a replacement and really hope it doesn't have the same sound issues.

Nope, Woot sent me an advanced replacement and shipped it out the day they received my email about the audio problem. They were a pleasure to deal with. I still have the old tab to send back to them which they provided a shipping label for that as well.
This is pretty annoying, I cant even manually update using the thread located here.

Was that a Woot one or a Tiger Direct one? I would call VS Customer Service TODAY and ask them to please have them ask TapnTap Inc to fix the OTA updater ASAP. 2638 is probably the original firmware and it is NASTY bad. Buggy as all hell.
If they can't do anything, you should at least do a stock update via the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842000.

3389 should be safe to use as a baseline.
I cant get the recovery firmware thing to work, (i am a noob at this)
I managed to get 2967 on but I didn't think it would work but it did.

That's our old homebrew one. You can use that command file with the newer zips on the link. Just rename the newer zip to "update.zip".
Given the number of new systems being shipped recently, this is pretty irresponsible of TapnTap and they really need to fix that ASAP. Their OTA updater is the ONLY "official" way to get updates, and it's been down since last night.
Maybe they have given up on our beloved g-tabs
Swyped from my St0n3d VEGAn 1.0 Beta 5.1.1 G-Tab
So make a long story short I had to get my original tablet replaced with a another one so Woot sent me my replacement and I got it yesterday. I booted it up and connected it to my wireless and no update. I read the post where Roebeet stated on Woots site that possibly Viewsonic killed the 3588 deployment.
I got to thinking this morning and decided to call Viewsonic to see if this was true or if I have another bad tablet. She stated to the best of her knowledge the 3588 update should still be deploying to tablets that don't have it. She gave me a few things to try when I get home to the tablet and I did (one of them including a factory reset) and still no go but I did get the gtablet welcome screen which I never saw when I first booted it up. Now she said to call back later as she will inform herself if there were in fact something coming up to stop the 3588 update.
Well I called back and got a different rep. He was able to pull the support case by my phone number and he had me try a few more things including another reset and still no go on the update. He to said the 3588 update should be still running and he in fact told me he had two "wooters" call in today for some help and their tablets updated to 3588. So we checked a few more things and he suggested that I contact woot to get another replacement or I could start an RMA with Viewsonic which I don't want to do. He also suggested going to the xda forums and asking if anyone knew where the update information gets stored/cached and if it can get cleared to see if it'd update after clearing. Oh and the rep also hinted that the new update should be coming any day now but he didn't know exactly when.
The last rep said I could wait a few days and see if the update comes but I'm afraid that the update won't come out then. The rep himself said he wasn't sure himself and thats when he told me to contact Woot.
So I'm asking, has anyone else had an issue yesterday or today in getting the 3588 update?
Does anyone have any thing I try to get the update to run.
There is another thread reporting that the OTA update sytem is down and that VS is working on it.
I'd just be patient.
Rev
Just found that thread...what throws me off is that the VS reps don't know that the updater is down when I called two different times.
I would not be too surprised. Viewsonic makes lcd screens mostly and I am sure they support a lot of different devices. So who knows what access to what information they have.
I would install a fresh rom from the forums, they make the tab so much better. IMHO.
Rob
Going on 3 days, now. They did tweet back to me yesterday that they were going to look into it, but obviously no resolution yet.
Thanks for the replies. Sucks that the viewsonic reps don't even know whether servers are down or something else is going on. Ill keep an eye on the forums for any news and randomly try from time to time.
wtf.. still not updating.. unexcuseable.. does anyone have a link to do a manual update?

Hey, when you returned your old tablet to Woot, how did the process work? Do they mail out a replacement, and then after you receive it you mail back the broken unit?
Manually updated mine yesterday. Ota wasnt working.

It looks like Motorola has officially updated the device. I found it about 2 hours ago when I was on the road. To my surprise, there is still no thread on this that I noticed.
Hopefully, we can get some info on this update as it pertains to those who either root or unlock. I don't have the information but hopefully, someone will brave it and attempt to get it. Such questions that I would like to see answered include:
- Do you lose root after the update?
- If you lose root, does the dock root method still work? Does the dockless method still work?
- If you installed bootstrapped or unlocked recovery, does this update cause any problems? Are backups made before the OTA still good to use after?
Well, for those of us who are dock rooted, or at least for me, I can say that the update goes seemingly through the entire process and then it comes back and says that the update failed. I check for updates and it is there again asking me to try. Not sure what's up.
This is new and exciting.

Root is lost with update
My phone updated yesterday and I lost my root. I will try the photon root method again to see if I regain root. I will keep you all posted.
if im not mistaken this is the ota.. on which i can confirm that afterwards you can root again. its just like any other phone tho updating will kill root
Well it will not update for me. "Update failed" every time. I am dock rooted and installed boot strap recovery (CWM). Any suggestions?

Welcome to last week!!! j/k. I am glad that you finally found out about the official update. FYI there were tons of threads about ppl receiving the official update. It may not have been on the XDA sites but some of the other fan sites like androidforums, sprint users all posted that the official release was out since last tues, 8/23.
Yes you do lose root but you can just re-root it to get it back. Just do the dockless root. It is wayyyy easier since you don't have to go to a website and dl the tar file.

Okay. Some people are in serious need of a freakin CHILL PILL.
I got my notice of an update a few hours ago. I came here thinking XDA was the place, the hub for this kind of stuff. I checked like the first 20 threads and there was nothing. Neither I nor most other people are going to go through dozens of pages to look for info on this especially when as I typed the subject, XDA's search returned NOTHING.
And a note to the mods, there have been a lot of unfriendly BS answers to very good questions as of late. If a blind eye is turned to it over and over, it is gonna cost XDA it's title in the minds of many that this is THE place for information on the devices that it covers.
So enough of the unfriendly sarcastic BS answers. There's no need for crappy answers like welcome to last week especially when such a post doesn't come with a link.
That said, I will try this one more time. When I try to install the update, it always says update fails. I rooted with the dock method and installed the bootstrap recovery. Does anybody know what could be causing this to happen?

Maybe the difference is the bootstrap recovery installation. I rooted with the docking method but didnt install a bootstrap recovery. The OTA update went perfect today. Maybe it succeeded because i didnt have the bootstrap recovery installed? A possibility?
If you have updated webtop (dockless connection), your OTA update may fail. Replace the files with your original webtop files and the OTA update should work.
OTA update speeded up my photon
My photon is opening apps, emails, and web pages 50% to 100% faster after running the OTA update.
Holy smoking photons! My phone is BLAZING fast, google maps and navigation are nearly instantaneous, YELP populates in 1 second!!!
Isn't this just the leak from 8/11/11?
I don't understand the big deal, or why an OTA update of a leaked rom two weeks ago is being talked about in the development board?

Did you uninstall any system apps after rooting? If so, those will need to be restored.
When you try the update how far does it get? If the phone reboots and gets to the Android guy with the progress bar just press and hold both volume buttons at same time and it will show you the error message.
My Phone was Rooted using the Dock Method... installed the update without any issue and Re-Root it using the Dock method again. Everything still runs like a charm.
Question says it all, still waiting, hope to get this thing working like it should !
I haven't got it yet...but for me it looks like the site is down...grrr...Been having some random reboots...hopefully this ota helps
No update here either. I just spoke to an Asus rep and he said it will be up tomorrow. Take this with a grain of salt because he also mentioned that the version of ICS that we have been running is quote "from android" and the Asus version will be available tomorrow . Also can someone also check if your "check update" is working under settings. Mine just sits there after clicking and does nothing. The Asus site is also down for me but works fine if I'm tethered and using mobile date. I wonder if that's related. Thanks in advance

Same here, i fast forwarded my phone clock by 24 hours 5 time to push through the update check time limit, still no downloading. The server is probably congested, if I'm able to get through tonight somehow I'll post up the update file, otherwise I might just wait it out a few days and let the update hit me when its supposed to.
Mine was downloading really slow, and after around 60% it failed. Now I have to wait 24 hours before I can check for an update.
