[Q] Not able to download OTA updates? ('Failed to download the update') - Sony Tablet S

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone has a suggestion.
I used the All-In-One tool to root my tablet S months ago, and received constant notificationst hat an OTA update was available. So I used the All-in-one tool to disable the notifications.
This morning I changed my region from Australia to US using the All-in one-tool and re-enabled notifications to see if it would receive the ICS update, but when I went to Settings-About-System Update, it goes straight to "Failed to download the update. Check your network connection and try again". I am connected to a Wi-Fi connection and the itnernet is working.
I then restored my original region settings using the all-in-one tool, but I still get the same message. Previously it said that an update was not available.
Any ideas?

I didn't root my tablet so I can't help you solve the OTA issue, but may I suggest following condi's guide here?

PS: theres also the full OTA downloadable in that thread.

Thanks for the reply. I looked at the guide, but a lot of people seem to be bricked after trying to follow it. So I decided to wait a bit.
The issue seems to have resolved itself now. Perhaps the server was down?

Neither phone nor KIES will allow me to update firmware

Hi all,
Hopefully one of you out there will be able to help me. I see that there is an update for s3 that helps fix the re-draw issues, adds a brightness toggle and such other things. However when I connect my phone to KIES it tells me I have the latest firmware and I cannot update. I have the latest version of KIES also and it still does not recognise this update?
As well as this within my 'About Device' area of my phone I know that most other devices have a 'Software Update' button situated at the top, yet mine does not have this either, so I cannot check for the update this way? As well as this I understand there is also a software update widget? Yet again my phone does not seem to have this?
None of the standard ways is allowing me to update my phone, I managed to get KIES to update my phone to a particular firmware only to find out that this new firmware was the same as one my mate got already on the phone?
I really want to get this new update so any advice would be appreciated. If it helps I am with orange and upgraded to this phone over the phone.
Thanks again
Ross
Anybody have any idea what the problem is?
Bumping this to the top of threads to see if anyone has an idea why?

[Q] TF700 Unlockign problem

Hi everyone! I recently got a TF700 with the hopes of unlocking and rooting it to get at all the custom ROM goodness. Sadly, I'm having a few problems. Before doing anything I successfully upgraded to JB 4.1.1, so I know that my updates were working. After playing around with it for a few days and doing my research, I was ready to proceed with unlocking using a YouTube guide. Before starting the process, I checked for new updates and got the "Internet connection error or the server is busy. Please wait a moment and try again" message.
Since I was already on the firmware I needed, I figured that maybe the servers actually were full and forgot about it. I proceeded to get the Asus Unlock tool onto my tablet via ADB Tool v7, but when I got past all the warnings, I ended up getting a similar message. I called Asus and they said that the servers were fine on their end, and that I should RMA the tablet to them. I'd rather not do that because I don't want to wait 3 weeks for them to fix this random issue, but I also really want to unlock my tablet .
Has anyone got any solutions or suggestions? I'm just confused because I know that my tablet could connect to the Asus servers since I had previously updated with no problems, and I haven't done anything but play around with apps from the app store since then...

[Q] Problem Updating OTA to 4.1.2

I am having an issue with updating via OTA with Verizon. The OTA update came out a couple of weeks ago but I never received notice. When I went to search for it I got an error message, no matter where I was or whether it was on 3g, 4g or wifi. The message states "service unavailable". My service is working fine and I can use the internet without any issues. I called Verizon and they didn't know what was causing it but they did confirm I have an update available. I have powered off, taken out the battery cleared cache, tried to update manually with ODIN (which failed) and have come to my wits end. I am trying to avoid factory resetting the device and having to wait for all my apps to be reinstalled. I have rooted several devices before but don't want to do that this time.
Does anyone have a suggestion to help me accept the OTA from Verizon? Again, I am locked and unrooted running everything stock.
Thanks for your help!

Unable to perform OTA updates

My ZW2 has never been able to take an OTA update. I have, so far, been manually updating by sideloading with ADB. It's paired to a HTC One M8 and I checked that all the various services are up to date, but I get "downloading" followed by "something went wrong". I've tried it with just the BT connection and with wifi. It just refuses to download the update.
Also, so far only people here seem to have been posting the update zips. Is there an official repository for these updates anywhere?
Thanks!
Note: the watch is bone stock with nothing touched. It's not even bootloader unlocked.
Solved - turned out to be a firewall issue
So, I figured out that it was my phone's firewall causing the problem. I had the Zenwatch manager app blocked. I failed to realize that the phone depended on a local app to download updates.

Losing root after every security update

I am having some issues with the G9 I am working with. I have root using the latest Magisk. But every time a "security update" installs and reboots the phone, I lose root. So I go back into fastboot and reflash the boot img. That solves the problem. But it is a minor nuisance I am trying to workaround. I have tried searching for days, trying to figure out how to STOP system updates. I installed a root service disabler and disabled a few different services.
I still cannot seem to figure out what service is downloading updates. I have already gone into Developer Options and disabled automatic updates. And there was an update waiting that I kept paused. Last night I got the popup reminding me about it. And it was supposed to "remind me later". But instead installed it in the middle of the night.
I could care less about opinions on whether or not to allow updates. I would just like to know what service or file I need to cripple to get it to stop. I want to decide if or when something runs on my phone. Any ideas? Android 9.
And you will lose root after update, it's normal

If you are using a G9, not a G9 Pro, could you please link me to the stuff to root it?
