*#*#checkin#*#*

you know what does stink? there is a user on xdz forum who has the update ready on his phone...he hasn't accepted it....and won't go through the process of getting the download URL for others.

That's selfish. :P

Unless he doesnt want to accept it. Then it would be selfish of anyone to expect him to.

hmm well after reading all of the above post's...

lol! I think a lot of those folks must have visited XDA first! :eek: :D

I keep seeing posts start out with "Don't flame me!..." :D

I think for the most part, we're pretty tame here...yeah, I wish folks would search more, but the AF search could be a little better (I use Google search with "site:androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris xxxxx" a lot instead of the regular forum search--it sometimes return results better).

Google search-term: demache necro-post

First thing that comes up is your post. I didn't originally coin the phrase though. I've seen it used before on other forums. But apparently I'm one of few that use it on this forum.
 
Mine won't do. I type in the keypad as in dialing a number and do NOT hit the call button. I sit here and nothing happens. Does it matter if it's VM or Sprint?
 
Holy old threads, Batman!

Welcome to the furum WorryFox.

I believe it does matter, I think...Are you using the Eris on a carrier other than Verizon?
 
Does this still work somehow? Trying it for Jellybean on my Nexus, it says checkin succeeded but still says I am up to date!

Necro-post....again lol.

Anyhow, I don't believe it does. Like I mentioned earlier (like years ago) this thread is pretty old and doesn't really have up to date information, since it was intended for us Eris users still on Android 1.5 back in early 2010.

It boils down to, you get the update when you get it. Or maybe you can look on the Nexus forums, and maybe you might be able to get the OTA update ZIP file from a thread. Odds are, look in the root forum (although rooting shouldn't be required, they usually have lots of those files for archival purposes).
 
In all my browsers I am getting my history and someonen ealses. Not to mention that mu clipboard and Google drive are full of things of which I am not familiar there are 6 different gmail accounts on my name. I could go on  but my husband has Google Wi-Fi in my name and email address that I am not supposed 2 know about

. Help please

Use that code on the dialer to have a rolling update/upgrade available to your device no matter where you are in the release schedule geographically.

Do NOT press "call" after entering *#*#CHECKIN#*#*, just watch the notification area for a prompt that you are checked in.

Then go to the usual area to check for software updates and, as long as the rolling update/upgrade has started, it will come to your device.

I just tried it and it works, it checked me in. No update, of course, but the notification area did indicate I was "checked in."

Sorry if this has been posted before. I've not seen it.

Will this code harm any device in any kind of way?
