Looks like the Ford gods are smiling on me. Just got another OTA this morning.

I have another update tonight. Seems to be a smaller one than the last one so hope it doesn’t fail.

Is this a new 6.8.0, or is it the old 6.8.0 from December 2023?

No idea it just showed up today

It went through so I am happy.

I posted in another thread on SOC settings, but in case it helps anybody else... I wanted to post my journey to finally getting OTA updates.

I hadn't been getting OTA updates except just one for the audio system in about 1.5 years of ownership. I got ForScan soon after my truck purchase and found I had an IPMA code U3000:49 that would not clear and there was a SSM on it (SSM # 49684). I took it to the dealer because I have a Ford ESP but they wouldn't do any updates due to a low SOC (30%) and told me I needed a new battery. Because they wanted a ridiculous amount for labor and the battery itself ($350), I ran to Costco and bought an H8 battery ($200). I replaced the battery myself in the dealer's parking lot (took about 3 minutes.... Not a half hour of dealer-priced labor) and reset the BMS. The dealer updated the IPMA which fixed the persistent U3000:49 code. About a month later I was having Android Auto connectivity problems and found TSB 25-2048 which lists a bunch of modules that are supposed to be updated. Again, because I have the Ford ESP I took it to the dealer. But after that update process in TSB 25-2048 the final check by the dealer showed my CMR was not responding, so they replaced it (Part # ML3Z-3G590-D) and then the dealer completed the updates in the TSB. I drove my truck daily, at that time about 2 hours / 60 miles total each day, and my truck sits in my driveway connected to my home Wi-Fi the rest of the time, always on a tender if I'm not going to be driving it for a several days. I never once got an OTA update... I suspected that it was just because the dealer had updated everything in the previous visits, but @rugedraw was still able to check VIN's then, and he said I still had some updates. About a week ago I was reading a thread on the blue screen / failed third brake light cameras in this forum. I had also experienced a failure of that camera and had replaced it myself with a genuine OEM camera, but I hadn't calibrated it. I went out and, using ForScan performed the LIN module initialization, and then the "Rear Camera Calibration", then the "Lane Centering Calibration" in that order. Everything went smoothly and now I have the centering lines in both the rear back up camera and the third brake light camera.

Lastly, about three days ago I changed the SOC setting in ForScan (Easy Method) to 90%, and suddenly, over the the next two days, I have received two OTA updates, one for the APIM on the first day, and one for the PCM on the second day. I can only conclude that changing the SOC did something to now make the truck meet some kind of pre-condition requirement for updates, and perhaps ensuring I had absolutely zero DTC codes in ForScan also helped. Hope this helps others.

I've done all of this stuff, wondering if because mine is running 24127/1270. mine is not far enough behind like others and Ford is addressing them first? Frustrating!

Another one. 3rd one in 2 weeks

Did you ever go to the feedback and click wireless updates not working or the minor hold down reset? Any feedback on what you have been doing ? You are having good results.

I did nothing but wait. It corrected itself after several failed attempts. The next two updates after the 6 failed ones worked fine.

Another one came through today. GWM update also came through on Monday.

Got another one

I have had 3 or 4 in the last couple of weeks. I wonder if they are trying to get my truck updated enough to send that rear camera fix.

Spreadsheet updated to reflect no-name GWM OTA recorded on a 2023 F150. Seems to have replaced an existing file in one location with the same file:

I actually got a new sync version today.

Old was 23291.

New is 25094
