i got my replacemnt G1 yesterday and it came with RC 29. i want to jailbreak it but i have few questions before doing that.
1) does this void the warranty or anything like that?
2) can you go back to original firmwares??
3) after jailbreaking, can still update your G1 with updates from tmobile??
NEED HELP ASAP, before i get my RC30 update.

1) possibly: it might go unnoticed that the firmware was changed, as long as you dont damage the phone you should be ok.
2) yes - you can undo the modded firmware update process with the official RC29 then apply the official (no root) RC30
3) no - once you apply the modded firmware update, there are mods that prevent you from receiving ota updates. you can probably find the update and apply it via sd card, but you will more than likely lose root....
so if you cannot get the updates from tmobile, is it worth it???

yes its worth it, and you can get the updates, just not over the air, and im sure the members here will be able to mod the official updates as they come out....better to have root while you can than to upgrade to official RC30 and not have a chance, at least for right now, to get root back.

Just woke up this morning and turned my alarm off on my G1.
When I took a second look I had a notification of an update avalible. As a method has been found to get root with the lower firmware, im going to hold off the update and rename my certs ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443328 )
Im unclear at what version number this UK update will be, but take it that if the downloadable update is released, then this can be altered to still allow root access (ala JF's rc30 update)

Yeah, there's a couple of people over on the google group for android saying they've got the update. can't get one of them to post the full build so we can start to yank it from google yet though. Could you see if it's in /cache on your phone?
Looks like the uK build is kila_uk-user 1.0 TC5-RC8 116470 ota-rel-keys,release-
keys
Who want's to start working their magic first?
From what I understand, we are going to have to wait for the full release to become avalible for download as there hasnt been much luck in flashing the 4mb small updates.

I just received an OTA update on AT&T G2 to version D80020y. Thing is earlier I had a root but some how the update went through with the installation without a hassle. I can't remember where I downloaded the root from. Could you guys suggest a good rooting process which will allow me to install OTA updates in the future also.
Thanks in advance.

Do you still have root? Any thing different you noticed after the OTA?

Having root and allowing OTA updates is a recipe for disaster. You're better off waiting for someone to post an update here in the forums that works with root or be certain that the update doesn't break root.

This thing doesn't get updated on the forums, that's the problem. I've asked for the 20u stock system folder from someone rooted on that version and no one has responded. The last version we have here is 20k stock rooted. I'm still waiting. Now I'd like to get my hands on an unmodified stock 20y I'll have to wait forever to NOT get.
Hello guys can I unroot my a7 2018 and go back to stock?
Just flash the original stock rom.
And become just like I buy it?
As far as I know we have integrated efuse, so once you root Knox is tripped. This means no more warranty in the most countries.
Even if you do unroot and restore the original software the whole motherboard needs to be replaced to make it like new one.

Exactly, but you lose your warranty of course.
This guys I try on it. But if I do this I can take OTA updates? And where I can find original stock rom?

I told you your device will return as it was in the day you got it in so you don't have to ask about every single detail. Yes, you will start receiving OTA updates once you unroot.
As for the stock rom, you can get it from here or here. Just enter your device name in the search box and select the firmware to download. It's about 3.14 GB in size by the way.
My note 8 had OneUI pushed to it about a week ago even though I kept refusing not wanting to while I was sleeping. It says my bootloader is v5. This is actually what it says (N950USQU5DSD3). My problem is that when I search for the firmware I'm wanting to downgrade to (the last oreo update possible for this particular phone) on Sammobile I can't find the one for At&t. I see ones for Verizon, sprint, etc. But nothing for at&t, which one am I supposed to use and where can I get it? This is going to be my very first downgrade/upgrade, really my first time doing anything like it on android. And I CAN do this right? There's nothing I should be aware of that makes what I'm trying to do not able to be done is there? The biggest reason I'm asking is because I have very limited tools to work with, I have a little 12" Acer aspire one (no disk drive) running windows 7 home basic, mobile hotspot from my wife's phone(the last software I tried to download and use came from xda out of a thread I found titled, "Stock Oreo N950USQS5CRF6 Odin*files*for AT&T*NOTE*8" it failed halfway through 2 nights ago during the beginning of storm, and the whole time it would only download around 32kbs so it literally to FOREVER! Only for it to fail halfway through. Was I wasting my time or was this in fact the firmware I'm looking for? If not, as I asked before, where could I find it?? Thanks a bunch for any help.

^^^^^^^Is this all I need? Do I need to follow this tutorial or a different one?? What version of odin, do I need anything else
Sorry for so much all at once, I really hate this update and want Oreo back.

Follow the steps from the above-linked post, and follow them very carefully. I did, and I was able to successfully downgrade from Pie to Oreo on my AT&T NOTE8.
I actually flashed the unlocked firmware, which has zero AT&T bloat. It works just fine for my needs. I don't think AT&T WiFi calling works on this unlocked firmware (I haven't tried - I don't use it).
Caveat emptor: whichever version of Oreo you choose (either the AT&T stock, or the unlocked firmware), we are stuck on the February 2019 Android security patch.
Only Pie gets the latest security patches. As long as you are ok with this, then proceed with the downgrade to Oreo!

A little off topic, but has anyone seen an AT&T security update for May yet? I'm still on April security, and it's basically mid June?
Tha k you I'll check it out when I get off work, I didn't know you could flash the unlocked firmware on a carrier locked phone
Let me get this straight. Can a locked bootloader AT&T SM-N9500U on Android 9, N9500USQU5DSD3 downgrade to Oreo? I thought this bootloader whould not let you go back.
I LOATH Pie and wan to go back to Oreo so bad, please tell me there is a for sure way. This is my first permanently locked bootloader phone and it's killing me not to flash an software I prefer.
I dont know I wish someone could tell me forsure whether it will work or not because now my phone is getting another software update notification so it's getting ready to force another update on me and I doubt after that I will still have bootloader v5. Can someone please verify whether my current bootloader (N9500USQU5DSD3) will downgrade successfully to back to oreo or not? I have the oreo firmware I want to use downloaded and ready to go which is (SM-N950USQU5CRL1). Can I downgrade to this without messing anything up?? Please I need a fast reply I dont want this new update forced to my phone and updating my bootloader to v5 where I can ever go back to oreo.

Yes you CAN downgrade back to Oreo. BUT you MUST go to a bootloader 5 firmware.

Yes you can go to that firmware. You will want to back up and allow it to factory reset. Be sure to use the modified version of Odin. Go HERE, post #2
Today I noticed that OnePlus has the 9.5.7 update on their site, and I was curious if there any drawbacks to using that instead of waiting for the OTA. For context, I keep my phone stock unrooted with the T-Mobile firmware so I'm mostly concerned about being able to get future T-Mobile OTAs. Are there any reasons I should avoid applying the update before the OTA comes?
This may be a moot point, since the T-Mobile firmware doesn't have the easy button to install a local update and I'm too lazy for ADB and all that.

My guess is that you should never simply flash an international OTA over a stock TMo OP7p... Otherwise, we probably wouldn't see all the threads in XDA about converting a TMo OP7p to the unlocked OP7p!
