Hi,
Does anybody know when the updates for T-Mobile UK G1 are coming out?
I've read in this forum that the UK update is not the same as the USA RC29 update
I'm running on TC5-RC7 at the moment, I've still got the option to connect via USB in my preferences so i know that it's not been updated yet as the RC29 update removes this option.
Had the phone for 5 days now and still no sign of any updates.
If i run the RC29 via Micro SD will it mess up my G1 droid?
Thanks
DB

It most likely won't let you update. The update was meant for specific models and I assume it was made so you can't update different versions from other countries.

Hey,
I just rooted my RC8 UK G1 using the guide here and then I came here and saw that JF1.43 is out, where the guide I was using used JF1.41.
Should I upgrade? What are the benefits and how do I upgrade?
Also, if a new OTA update comes out can I just update and keep root? If not, can I just update without doing anything special and loose root?
Thank you
JFv1.42 and 1.43 are US only so I believe you need to reflash to use, though I'm not sure. The number structure of US numbers is different (it has dashes in it like xxx-xxxx-xxxx) and they have some extra programs like MyFaves by the sound of it. For now if you want to stick with UK releases, you have the most recent. I contacted TMo about it and all they had to say was that they didn't know when our RC33 equivalent would be out.
Hello all,
like many users i've forced the mango update on my Omnia 7.I ended up with firmware version 2424.11.8.2.
However, i read that most of the users that got the update the "normal" way got firmware version 2424.11.8.5, so i rolled back to NoDo and updated again - still i get 2424.11.8.2.
So my question is - is my firmware ( 11.2 ) mango, or do i need to update my phone manually somehow?
Anyone knows what's the difference between 2424.11.8.5 and 2424.11.8.2 ?
My samsung now app doesnt auto-refresh also..could this be related to the firmware ver?
When you say "forced" the update, what do you mean?
Also, when you rolled back and then re-installed, did you need to do anything special to re-install?

2424.11.8.5 is the Mango update with Samsung drivers and 2424.11.8.2 without.
If you wanna enable Internet Sharing feature you need firmware 2424.11.8.5, this you can also do manually with Cab sender... just search here in the forum.
I flashed back to a branded T-Mobile rom for getting firmware 2424.11.9.4, with my unbranded Samsung rom I couldn´t update the firmware.

I mean i used the cable trick (google it) to get the update b4 it was available for my phone through zune.
After i rolled back i installed in the normal way - didnt use tricks, zune said there's an update, so i updated.I guess this is the official update for my phone.But i dont get it, why it comes without samsung drivers..
Unbranded phone
As I understand it if you have an unbranded Omnia 7 then you will only have 11.8.5 and that does not give you tethering. For me to get tethering I need the firmware update that only seems to come from the carriers themselves which leaves me in the lurch.
I do not want to faff about with unlocking them especially as I have 3 unbranded phones I guess I will just have to wait and see what Microsoft push out to us plebs. You can of course install the firmware if you phone is unlocked and you will find plenty of instructions on how to do this.
Hey guys, I just got myself an unlocked ATT G4 H81010b. My girl and I got matching phones, and after she bought the bring your own phone ST SIM pack and transferred her number she received an OTA update. Her phone is now H81010o. I'm not sure if hers was a 10b before the update i didnt think to check. I did not want to set up my phone until I was able to figure out how to root it, however - now that I have found I need an OTA in order to root it (i havent seen any confirmed 10b roots, i cant find any 10b specific commands - i was going to use the "root injection method"). The only difference here is, I am simply moving my SIM from my G2 to my G4, so I'm wondering if this would make any difference as to whether i recieve an OTA or not? Furthermore, I am confused because all the research I have done indicates that ST doesnt do OTAs. But i do know that her phone restarted, downloaded a software update and installed it. Is it possible for me to manually install the update? I really would just like to root, install TWRP, and CM13 (or maybe I'll try a different ROM this time). I know this is a loaded question, but any help is appreciated.
I finally found a confirmed working H81010b rooted image, no need to update now.

I have tried multiple times checking for updates over the past 2 weeks and my phone won't update. Is there a way to manually update? Like through my PC or something?
I would check to see if you have any disabled apps. I have done it numerous times, and have to re-enable them for updates to take.
ATT Phone + Updates
In my own experience, ATT usually takes a while until they release an update. I used to have a Note5 (locked to ATT) and it took FOREVER to get Android Nougat. When I finally got the update, Google announced that they were starting to develop Android Oxygen . I heard that the Samsung representatives @ Best Buy can help with installing updates manually but I cannot confirm this as I have never done it myself. If you want, you can call Best Buy to confirm if they can do this.
Hope this helps!
Are you on AT&T network? or are you using other provider?
You can only get OTA update through AT&T DM server.
Side loading AT&T update can reset your data.

I would backup and factory reset your phone. If you're savvy on flashing rom, you can directly update with odin or using SD card method.
if that doesn't work. I'd goto the Samsung experience center inside Bestbuy store.
or you can visit AT&T corporate store for help.
Yes we can help with updates at Best Buy. We use smart tool to update the phone. Just make sure you backup your device. Att is always the worst when it comes to update time and updates working correctly.
I work at Samsung and have to deal with att updates all the damn time.
You can install BK and force stop the Software Updater process that runs in the background. Then reboot and try updating again. That worked for me.

Check Update. For me i have update yesterday.
Orange phone .
Can someone send me the official link for the official stable Pie update? Cuz my phone which is Unlocked AT&T Note 8 has a problem updating.
When I go into settings>>software update>> it always says "Current software is up to date". Same thing happens when I use Samsung Smart Switch on Windows it says the same thing.
I would try to flash the .zip file on the stock recovery.
I would provide the other details below if you need cuz I'm unsure what update file should I use. Thanks!!
There are threads available to help you with that, just need to do a little bit of searching.

Affirmative!
When the August security update comes out for the U.S., will my Cricketwireless SIM allow me to get the AT&T update? Or, do I have to put an AT&T SIM in the phone. Could I just take the SIM out & connect to wifi instead?
Thanks.
