Root Never Received Froyo Update

[1yoyo105]

I have an Ally with 2.6.29.6 kernal from getitnowmarketing and Velocity v0.4 but I never received the new Froyo update. Anyone know why? Is there anyway I can still get it?

OTA updates are blocked by default on velocity 0.4 see Trident's guide to froyo here: http://androidforums.com/ally-all-things-root/263285-guide-froyo-2-2-1-root-users.html

it can be turned on using terminal emulator

DANG! Thats a lot of work! would recovering it to default work?

terminal emulator : "su" then enter. then "OTA -e" enter should enable OTA

"OTA: not found" edit: never mind!!!! i thought ota was in capitals how you had it. it enables ota but not the update.

 

[bnitty]

sorry about the caps. now that it's enabled go to settings › about phone › check for update. may take a bit since you had OTA disabled

Having a custom recovery blocks all OTAs. You cannot get Froyo OTA as long as you're running a custom ROM or just a custom recovery. If you want root and 2.2 you need to follow Trident's guide. It works. I've done it.

did you install it? if so is it working fine?

I rooted my Ally and then the root stopped working. I didn't get the OTA update today or anytime. I'm really annoyed by this.

rooting your device voids your warranty and blocks you from receiving updates from lg meaning no 2.2.

 

[nintendoandrew]

So how do I fix this? Cause the root isn't working...

 

[bnitty]

no I haven't installed 2.2 yet I was waiting for the devs to root it, which they did, but it's to complicated. so I'll either stay with 2.1 using velocity 4 or just accept the unrooted OTA.

Except that you *cant* accept the OTA 2.2 while running Velocity or ANY custom ROM. The ONLY way to get OTAs to work is to be absolutely *bone* stock.

Okay now, I received the 2.1-update 1 OTA when I was rooted but the root wouldn't work then so I'm guessing that I don't have a root anymore. Am I supposed to get my update today or just sometime soon?

 

[Valkerie]

Your phone shipped with 2.1.1. You did not receive the update while rooted.

 

[nintendoandrew]

Okay well I had some kind of update between September 2010 and now.

That'd be the ZVB and ZVC updates. Odds are you didnt actually get them installed if you're rooted and deleted apps or had a custom recovery.
