Android 5.0 and TMO - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anybody else had TMO start playing nice since your upgrade to Android 5.0 in the US? If so, did you factory reset after moving to Android 5? Thanks!

Nobody? No reports? I've tried a factory reset and still get crap reception.

Never happen before.. Changed the baseband version to-FL26, build # to-Imm76d.fl26, and android version-4.0.4..
Well the really weird and messed up thing is my wife has the same exact phone. She done the update first. And it worked.Didn't change her carrier or anything..her baseband version went to-gb28,build# jz054kschr760X.gb28. And android version to-4.1.2. How did this happen? I have tried re-downloading the upgrade 2times..done a hard reset more than once.. And I had the phones on a contract.there not currently "hooked" up but will be..but I have wanted to root it forever..can I flash it back to whatnot was before and then root or what?

Are you talking about the update from Samsung's website?
If you're talking about just upgrading an Over The Air (OTA) Upgrade, it should be able to be done from your "About Phone" settings. It should upgrade your baseband and android version to the proper versions that your carrier and phone manufacturer provide.
If you're talking about rooting and a custom rom, XDA has loads of files and guides to help you with rooting the phone, installing a custom recovery, and learning to flash ROMs and modems and such to your will.
I hope this helps you, but I don't know too much about your carrier.

I read some thing about 3 putting up 5.1.1 then taking it down to add security for the stagefright issue.
I guess will not be to long.

[Help!] Major update and partition issues for my Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930U)

Hi everyone, there is this really strange issue with my phone, if i try to update it to the latest Nougat version it will update but will reboot and work for about 30 seconds before it restarts, the phone works well if i stay on the android version I have now (7.0 May 2017 update) but if I update it even just by one version it will continue to have this issue which forced me to restore it back via Odin. Also when I go into my settings and have a look at my storage I notice that it only says that it has 16GB storage capacity which isn't true. I was wondering if anyone out there has had this issue before or knows how to fix any of mine any information would be greatly appreciated. Before anyone asks, no my phone has never been rooted, I have tried factory resetting, I have tried other firmware's from different carriers, I have tried most things but nothing seems to work, please help. Thanks.
So it's updating via OTA and having problems or you're manually flashing to newer versions? And when you flash you're using all 4 firmware files and no just AP?

Xperifirm Question

Hey all!
I have an Xperia 5 II that I bought used and didn't know the previous owner changed the Firmware on me (Taiwan -> US). I haven't updated ever since! So I decided t do my research and am going to attempt to update the firmware with Xperifirm. My question is, do I have to keep erasing my data everytime I update the firmware? or can I just update it? I am planning to keep the US firmware and just update it.
When you say update it, do you mean Android 10 to 11? If you are changing the version of OS then I would say it’s important to wipe the phone and do a factory reset. The apps that were installed when it was Android 10 don't work too well under Android 11. Usually people get all huffy about having to wipe thier phone when they upgrade, but I see you have embraced it already.
If you’re not changing versions, just simple update, then you shouldn’t need to wipe, everything should work fine, keeping your data.
If possible choose an unbranded veriosn of firmware to flash, as it generally contains less bloatware.
