OTA Check App? - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

HI there,
got FroyoMod 2.5.0 running on my Milestone. Just wanted to ask wheter theres an App to see if theres any OTA Update waiting. I would not like to reflash to my old nandroid Backup and check with that... so is there an easier solution?
2.5.0 doesn't got any OTA Check within it (Under Settings is only telphone umber and such, but the OTA Update SEtting is gone... )
Thanks

For stock roms, there is an app called fota.apk which checks for OTA updates.

ah thank you.
is there some source where i can download fota.apk? I think most ppl want to get rid of it... but, I'm different ;-)

I can get you the apk from the moto leak, but how will you access it. It is not linked to settings?

mh, can't launch it directly via file manager mh?

You will get it to install using FM, but it doesn't create any icon for you to launch.

Hm, thats sad.
Maybe theres some other way?
Thank you for all your kind answers! ^^

I'm 100% positive as soon as there is an OTA available, you will notice a new thread here saying something like "froyo OTA available"
But hey, it could take a while for something like that to happen (an OTA from Motorola)

If you can go to Settings > About Phone > System Version and tell me what that says I can help more.
Also if you could possibly pull the update that'd be great. Have to be rooted to pull it though.

My version is the same.
I give up now I will get a update one day. 1 way or another my RAZR I will be updated.
And truth is that although I have moaned about the update the RAZR I on 4.0.4 is still very fast and smooth and the only thing I don't like about the RAZR I is no toggle switches in the notification drop down as a result I always have to go to my home screen. Other then that I think its a very good phone.

Network doesn't matter. It's a rolling update going by whatever Motorola pleases.
Wiping data was the best way to make sure you lose whatever was pushed to your device. Not going to find it again until its pushed to everyone.
Got the update 39001 retail en gb update,
improved hdr mode on camera and option to press and hold key to launch instead of instant on.
Some speed updates to browser, chrome installed by default.
Other stuff can't remember.

Pulling an update is not hard.. use a Root Explorer app and copy the update's .zip file from ~/cache/ to your sdcard, and then to your computer to upload.

Not usually something that gets stickied, it was common knowledge on the DROID RAZR so I assume wrong
Fair enough, came here from three Sony Ericsson phones, never once got an ota, just full updates so it's new to me. File path makes sense though, I'm sure a UK user will post soon.

[Q] Weird app and firmware update

So I was using my phone when suddenly there're notifications about a dummy app and a firmware update 12.1.X.0.2205. The dummy app didn't do anything much went opened tho. Just XPERIA written all over the screen. As for the firmware update it uses X instead of A and build 2205 just make no sense. Furthermore it's 0.2205 which I suppose is kind of weird. Any of you received the same or it was just me? I've searched the whole forum searching for answers and I can't find any. Is it just Sony mistakenly released it or what?
And as for the firmware update. I tried every means to get it installed but the installation failed. Just asking because of curiosity tho.
It might have been a mysterious force gave me superpowers through a weird phone update and I cant access it until the time comes but oh well that's just me and my imagination

Nah I wouldn't say it's the same as there is no announcement of a new firmware by Sony. The link was for .205 and I've updated mine.

[MOD][6/7/15][VZW-E] - Tether hack - OC3 / OE2 build

This allows those on the old plan to still utilize tether for free.
For custom TW or stock TW roms.
Flash with latest flash fire.
Make sure you are rooted with PinPong Root 6 or higher.
Also make sure you pick the right one. The last 3 digits of the zip file are the firmware version. Flashing wrong one will boot loop you.
Oh and hit thanks!

It modifies the carrier check for Tether provisioning. If you have tether on your plan then you dont need it. If you dont have Tether then this will get you tether.
I dont know what carrier you have so flashing it, at a minimum will NOT hurt ANYTHING (that I know of).
So to see if you need it, just turn on Tether, if it works, then you dont need patch. If it doesnt work, then use patch.
Hope that helps.
Hit thanks!

1. Download Titanium Backup and install it
2. Open Titanium Backup and go to backups
3. Select Activation Agent and Click Uninstall
4. Restart the phone, you SIM card not from Verizon Wireless message is gone forever.
Will this work even if I am not on a unlimited data plan?

You can use TWRP and stock recovery flash this ROM.
It's an official ROM and signed by OP.
I have done nothing to this ROM.
Use adb sideload and stock recovery is the best way to flash it.
And it's easy to flash from H2OS to this one.Use the Setting-System update function and choose this ROM from your Storage.
Could someone add a changelog or any information about the changes they made? Could not find it on the web.
It's a pretty fast update, maybe they optimized ram management?
Works totally fine, no idea what it does though.
Please tell if ram management is fixed

I recieved this update, but there is a bug with the alert slider and ringtones in it.
After a restart of your device, the ringtone is muted.
That's why I switched to RR.
BTW Is it 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 ? Because in my mirrors thread, I have posted it as 3.1.2 and also the thread says it is 3.1.2 . Can anyone please confirm ?

I did check the guide, and that firmware/OTA post.
If you had actually checked the OTA links, you'd see that the needed update isn't there. The last OTA available to download from the guide is 6.6, which i'm already on.
I've sent in a ticket through the update app and hopefully they'll reply soon.

Honestly, you are here on XDA a developers site. I would have thought you would be happy to have the updates not working since you can just load custom recovery and flash roms made available from community.

You'd think that!
Truth is, I couldn't find a single mention of this issue anywhere online, except here.
I've rooted phones before (using guides from XDA even), but i'm not in a position to load custom firmware on this particular phone. I'm using it as a cheap work-phone and the company i work for explicitly require the device not to be rooted or the OS modified in any unofficial way unless needed for development. But XDA is a good resource for finding stock images and is the most active online resource I trust when it comes to android phones.
I contacted Blu and they told me to delete the app data but it still didn't work for me. Also my update is V7.4.2

There are some updates "captured" from other users posted in the forum. Up to v6.6 is listed in the index , linked already.
This link is for update from 7.4.2 up to 8.3
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72128380&postcount=2
and here too (same 7.4.2 to 8.3)

But if the OTA app is not working maybe there is something else wrong.
Do you have sdcard installed? (shouldn't mater but if so try removing it)
Are you connected to wifi?
Maybe Blu is blocking updates because they had posted that roll back.
