[Q] - General Questions and Answers

Hi guyz I am using note 2 i still didn't receive android kitkat version updates i am an resident of India(Chennai )when I check for updates it shows....latest updates are already installed.plz help me out guyz.

Sometimes it takes time to get updates. But note, if you have a custom ROM installed it won't work.
If the firmware is already released, you can always check the manufacturers website and they should have stock images for your device.

[Q] [Q7] Urgent Help. No Ota. Urgent Help. please help with this HTC One M7

I have an unlocked HTC One M7 currently running android 4.2.2 (2.24.401.9). I want to update it to latest version and it is not showing any OTA update. It says your phone has latest version which I know is not. I need to know how can I update it manually to 5.11.401.10 version. I got a tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 //: . But i am confused with numbers. I have one more doubt that is are the updates given on the page complete. So basically two questions.
1. Can i directly update from 2.24.401.9 to 5.11.401.10? Or i need to update intermediate versions too?
2. If I successfully updated to 5.11.401.10 from the link given, will my phone have the same capability and features as after official update to this firmware? Or, I need to do something else in addition to installing these files?
Also, please verify if the method on this page is correct? If not kindly link me a tutorial describing the exact process.
Thanks.
Hi, you don't need any other updates as the latest one will contain all previous fixes so just update directly. Also you should have the same features as before.
And the link should be fine
Hope I could help and good luck updating

This are the official word of google about the updates. "Runs Android 4.4 KitKat and automatically gets the new version soon after it's released.* Whether in a month or in two years, Android One phones get better with time.". I think that android one phones will get the lollipop update in the summer or even later.

[Completed] [Q] Installing Lollipop for Rooted 4.2.2 Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900)

So I've just rooted my 4.2.2 stock Galaxy Note 3 and I want to upgrade to Lollipop. To this day, LP was only released for Russia and India for SM-N900.
I want to know:
1) Would it be safe to flash these updates from SamMobile, knowing that the SM-N900 is the carrier free, "international" version of the Note 3 ?
2) If yes, are these localized for Russia/India or would I have all options that would be available in a standard English release ? (language is obviously my first concern)
3) If all of the above is fine, would updating by flashing with Odin require a data wipe of the phone, or can I just update and reboot my phone with all apps/data, etc.. as if I've updated using OTA? I want to keep everything I have on the phone as is.
Thanks for taking the time to answer !
Sir,
You already founded the best right place for your device. Please continue to follow that dedicated forum for Note 3.

[Q] How to get Lollipop on Honor 6 (L04)?

There are now tons of threads detailing a myriad of methods of getting L on Honor 6. As far as I can tell
You cannot get CM12
You can somehow get 5.1 + EMUI3.1
So can anyone post the correct links to where I can get L? I am currently running CM11, and I have a custom recovery, so flashing is ok for me.
I already replied to you in another thread. Check it.

Download B309 package.
Flash over B374.
Go further down to B109SP01 from B309.
Update to B115.
Update to B500 with this update. zip.
You'll get B500 version if you are in India and not B507. I don't know the reason but that's what happened to me and few other people. I'm back to B374 as this ROM is buggy for daily usage. India will also be releasing lollipop update soon so I suggest it's better to stay away from this. While on the other hand Malaysia has also started updating to Lollipop, that update is over B380, update file is not uploaded by anyone yet.

Hi, thanks for replying.
If huawei is indeed releasing updates, I can wait. But can you tell me if the update will rewrite my recovery? I will certainly give this a shot if I can do a restore of my current ROM from recovery.

It's difficult to come back to EMUI 3.0 I have tried that so I'm telling you. You should wait for 2-3 days as Lollipop is coming soon. And yes there is a different recovery in Lollipop.
There is no cwm available for it. So coming back is not as easy as jumping from 3.0 to 2.3

Looking for the Latest Custom ROM for S8+

Hello friends,
I am back to this site after almost 2 years.
A lot has changed, it appears.
Till now, I am using my S8+ on its stock ROM, with latest updates released by Samsung:
SM-G955FD
One UI version 1.0
Android 9.0
Baseband G955DXXU5DSH3
However, as the device is out of its warranty period, I want to flash a custom ROM. Been doing this before on my older devices, but need guidance now.
Would appreciate links to the appropriate how-to section.
Thanks in advance.
