Devices running M48 pointing to https://tools.google.com/service/update2 unable to update.

Project Member Reported by trumbull@chromium.org, Aug 17 2017

Issue description

Seeing an odd trend with users running M40 from Auron Yuna or Auron Paine that may suggest an issue with Auto Updates.

Auron Yuna = Acer Chromebook 15 (released in Feb 2015)
Auron Paine = Acer C670 Chromebook 11 (released in April 2015)

For reports with Chrome OS version, device, and auto update server information available, 45% were from users running M40 on Auron Yuna or Auron Paine (Acer) Chromebooks pointing to https://tools.google.com/service/update2

This seems odd. Some of the users claimed that they just purchased the machine and were unable to update it.

Summary: ChromeOS_AUServer on older devices points to https://tools.google.com/service/update2, which results in 404 Error & prevents updates (was: M40 Devices & “Error: Dead Jim feedback or Chrome ran out of memory” Crash Feedback)
Customers are reporting that they are getting errors that their browser is not supported, but they are not able to update. We've received 104 reports from 79 people in the last 90 days -- all where AU Server -
 https://tools.google.com/service/update2.

Top devices for this issue are: Daisy, Panther, Falco, Gnawty, and Auron_Yuna.

Here's a similar report, also from Panther device from a Googler: https://listnr.corp.google.com/product/208/report/71747785172
For example, I have 7 reports in August from Panther users on 
48.0.2564.116 (non-managed devices) who all happen to be on https://tools.google.com/service/update2.

One example is https://listnr.corp.google.com/product/208/report/72000820368
Summary: Devices running M48 pointing to https://tools.google.com/service/update2 unable to update. (was: ChromeOS_AUServer on older devices points to https://tools.google.com/service/update2, which results in 404 Error & prevents updates)
Ah, here it is. In August, we have 273 reports for all feedback issues from customers in August where AU Server = https://tools.google.com/service/update2, but none of them are running anything past 48.0.2564.116. (And less than 3% are managed).

So, there's a number of devices running very old builds, all of which are pointed to the same AU server.
Spoke with the TPMs.
These users may need to reboot their computers. It looks like some just need to reboot and others may be on cellular connections (including cellular modems). 

Update messaging on older builds "no update available" wasn't/isn't super-clear to users that they need to restart for the update to take effect or that updates won't proceed on cellular connections.

Will see if there are any relevant forum threads on this to see if we can post there. Or whether instructions on relevant Help Center articles are clear.
