I keep getting this message when I try to update my device;

"Check for update is not available at this time.

Try again later."

I am not rooted.
I have the phone on the charger and it is at 80% battery.
I have strong 4G signal.
I have also tried over WIFI.
I have rebooted the phone - including trying a battery pull.

so what gives??

I got that off and on for a couple of days. It didn't effect my manually downloading the update this morning (west coast morning ;^)

Mine has been doing that when connected to 4G/3G. Works fine on wifi which is how I got the update this monring. Still does it after the update.

Turned on WIFI and its downloading now
 
Re: Check for update is not available at this time. Try again l

Yep... mine would do the same thing when on 3G or 4G but when I checked with WIFI connected it would check and then said "your phone is up to date" At about midnight last night my phone turned itself off and I had to pull the battery to get it to come back on so I figured what the heck and checked for the update again and wallah it downloaded and updated and now... I got my toes in the water, my a$$ in the sand and life is good today.

If you have had your SIM card replaced for any reason, then the only way to get the OTA update is to do a factory reset first... Apparently your phone hasn't communicated with Motorola's servers since it did so with the first SIM card, and now it doesn't recognize your new SIM with that phone.

I went through everything and eventually found that this is supposedly the only fix if you've replaced your SIM card. And, it worked for me.

I had my sim card replaced and was getting the "Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later." error. I performed a factory reset and when the phone finished its setup, I checked for an update and received the OTA update. It looks like there would be a way of resetting the update account besides performing a factory reset of the phone.
 
I had my sim card replaced also and had the update not available also in the contacts all the verizon numbers were gone. Had to do a factory reset also to get it back.

appreciate any thought.

i'm getting this message too and wondering when is this update fully released so that i know it's time to try something else and not keep waiting for my bionic to update automatically. thanks.
 
Re: Check for update is not available at this time. Try again l

I had the same problem. To fix it I went into Settings>Battery & Data Manager>Data delivery>Social Applications and then unchecked Sync over Wi-Fi only. After I did this I was able to update the phone. Hope this helps anyone.

44Stretch, you have found the problem. I was having the same problem and followed your instructions and it is now checking for available update. I, like everyone else in this thread, was getting cannot update at this time. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction and another item Motorola needs to fix. That option is intended for Social Applications. What in the heck does it have to do with System Updates. Either they need to make the descriptions more accurate or push a message that the download cannot occur because WIFI is not available and point you to where to change.

Anyway, thanks for doing Motorola's job. Good job!!!
 
Re: Check for update is not available at this time. Try again l

It's not working for me. Even after a factory reset and unchecking that option I still get that message. Good times. :)
 
Re: Check for update is not available at this time. Try again l

Got same messages. Connected to WiFi and am currently getting OTA download. Yay!
 
Re: Check for update is not available at this time. Try again l

My phone keeps telling me that it's up to date and that no update is necessary :( I hope I get mine soon. I haven't had any major issues, just a few with data connections. It'd be nice to see if I can eliminate those.

I have to ask since it says next to your avatar.. are you stock right now or running Kin3tx?

EDIT: Follow up question, if you're stock did you run any leaked updates?

I'm running Kin3tx, but I didn't apply any updates that were leaked. And I only put Kin3tx on earlier today. I took off Shift3r and went back to stock to see about the update and still hadn't gotten anything today, so I put Kin3tx on.

The only reason I didn't apply any leaked updates is that this was my first time rooting, first time flashing, and I didn't want to screw anything up lol

Well while you are on the ROM you definitely will not see anything. You must be completely stock.

Thanks, that fixed it for me.
