Does the RC29 update work with the UK version?
I think it will, but you shouldnt try it. There is a different version for you (I think its TC5-RC7 if i remember correctly). We need someone to try to "intercept" that one for us now.
Currently running TC5-RC7 112931.
any one else in the UK let me know what they're running?
That is the equiv to the RC29 for US.
I'm on TC5-RC7 112931 as well.
Does the "TC5" part of the version name refer to the SDK used to compile the software?

Hi,
I'm a uk user and my G1 is running on TC5-RC7.
I'm glad i found this thread, i was gonna put RC29 update on my droid via micro SD card.
So does this mean i'm up 2 date with RC7??
T-Mobile & Google are a bit slack really......they should keep us posted in the UK as to what we should be running on our new phones.
Whats the difference between RC7 & RC29 then?
Cheers

What scares me is the RC designation (which in my experience means a release CANDIDATE) and not a full version.
How long till we see a "gold"

Probably not till 2009
It would be very nice to see if we can flash US updates to our UK G1s. Years of experience of living in the UK makes me suspect it won't be long before we stop getting any updates due to general apathy in this country to provide long-term customer service.
re: US updates on UK G1
i have uk g1 running rc30 with root access and its fine. there is mazon mp3 store but unless u have US address u cant buy,(you can preview tracks).
i am hoping that because ive still got root access i could revert back 2 UK updates later.
p.s the rc29 update has code to check the build but if you install rc30 (with hack/root) you dont need to worry as this doesnt. there is a guide on here that helped me ill post link if u need it.( I read lots ov ways but couldnt work it out,this 1 does it from sd card,its v.simple)
hope this helps
Hey Guys,
yesterday I needed to unbrick my device. I took the uploaded stock from this thread . It's an US stock 4.2.2 firmware but I got a huge update via Kies after flashing. And now guess! Yeah I'm on absolutely official KitKat 4.4.2 . I'm from germany and tested one another right before matching to my location, just to check but it's not available here (yet).
Yeah Its out for a while
@NeoPreacher & @LegendSmoker
It is true KK is an old story. But still I find interesting what NeoPreacher is saying.
One he may be telling others that even when you could be in a region without an update yet that if you install a US/Canada version you can get the Kies upgrade. Now this is not that important to me.
But I am understanding that when he said "I needed to unbrick my device" that he has some sort of a MOD Rom! Is this true? So then I find interesting that by uploading the file he mention he got Kies to upgrade him. I was in the confusion that once you mod your firmware you could not get OTA nor Kies to upgrade you. So @neopreache could you confirmed that you had tested any of the posted Roms here or had Custom Recovery or Roorted your device previous of recovering with kies? Thanks
Yes I tested some other stuff posted in dev section. But I did something very wrong so I needed Odin to unbrick.I own my tab just for a few days, so it was more a playing around than knowing what to do.I often read about an unstable 4.2.2 stock, so I thought it might be interesting for people in regions out of north America to see that there is another possibility to stay on official stock and get an update for their machines.

Check this website in chrome its in Japanese or Chinese so you can translate it, gonna have to test it you guys i have exynos and its up to you guys to try and install
Just wanted to share
Thanks to @Tetraguy
Did somebody found download link ?
The guy i mentioned found this and i'm an exynos user i wish i could test this 4 u but i cant
no download link.....
Like the thread title said "Claimed" maybe download link will be available tomorrow
I'll contact a mod to move this to general section
If i don't understand false, it is an OTA Update. Only the HongKong user can download it.
I don't know, how we can get it. I would like to test it too.
If i don't remember wrong, isn't the HongKong Note 3 different than SM-N9005?
I am sure that in some days, we will get it.
I really dont understand too much too, its an OTA update link will be posted hopefully and the method as for the variant i really dont know :/
There are so much questions. I think so, we have to wait a little bit.
What about BootLoader? What about system partition? The HongKong version has a 16GB internal storage.
Maybe we can make a softbrick. Better wait a little bit.
Untill we are certain and till i can find some link i'll tell ya
But if someone is gonna test this its gonna be someone with a jig just in case it gets bricked

It is for Qualcomm. Hong Kong SM-N9005 is a Qualcomm Note 3 too.
It has only a little bit different storage structure. The Hong Kong SM-N9005 has a 16GB internal storage. The international SM-9005 has a 32GB internal storage.
I don't know so much about the bootloader, if they have same bootloader or not.

From what I read on their forums, some people got the OTA update on NJ1 firmware while others didn't.
Hide the contents of this post
1: 9005 Hong Kong version has begun to push Samsung 5.0 lollipop, and upgrade ota. Want to upgrade 5.0 9005 oil, you can brush about the latest family of four nj1 9005 twice. Until at odin mode, there is no custom in English, the system will support the ota. In order to upgrade, and wait for a push on the line. The following screenshots have been painted custom official. Popular talk has painted the official system from a third party ROM.
2: About the Hong Kong version 5.0 Push 9005, ordinary engine oil is not recommended blind ota, Samsung upgrades generally can not downgrade. Once 5.0, means that the software is not compatible with all kinds, especially games. So I do not know what they are doing oil caution ota. Oil and recommend future ordinary brush card pack. . . Card brush package will not upgrade bl, so much safer.

The screenshots from the original link in the opening post of this thread clearly show it's running on the N9005, not the N900.
Here are the same news in vietnamese.
So, the OTA is rolling out in HK actually. I can't read vietnamese, but the google translator is showing, that there will be a tutorial soon. But maybe the translator just translated it wrong. xD
Following the N900 has been on the Beta version of Android 5.0 OTA heated SamsungViet our forums for days through the social networking http://bbs.gfan.com/ today 's China is a user owns Galaxy Note 3 ( SM - N9005 ) Hong Kong version was " sucking candy " Lollipop BETA similar to N900 . It can be seen that the Samsung devices are upgraded to the latest version of Android version is sure to be the official Android 5.0 reaches people on the occasion of New Year .

Through Google Translate. I can't vouch for the accuracy though. But fingers crossed they'll have a working release of this for 32gb units over the coming days.
i will try the method there is mentioned.
btw..the stock firmware download is too slow in samsungfirmware..only around 2xx-3xxkb/s

Wondering if any Canadian Users have received an update yet? I'm with Telus, build number 7SQ8-UD80.
I'm running one I bought from Koodo. I'm on that same 7SQ8-UD80 build. Wondering if Alcatel pushes the updates, or if it'd need to go through carrier testing first.
If it needs to go through carrier testing, might take a while to get an update...that's if that carrier decides to bother putting money into testing an at all. Kind of early to know for sure though.
Might not hurt to ask Alcatel or your carrier via Twitter.
Any Canadians have update yet? I still haven't!
Just picked up one from Bell yesterday for my wife.
It didn't download any system updates. I didn't check the version number but she did experience that lag issue when clearing recent apps and wasn't too impressed with the camera quality. Hoping the update comes soon and at least fixes the camera quality. She also experienced a couple of FC's when trying to change the default notification sounds... Reboot fixed that.
I'm fairly certain the device is unlocked so I'm hoping the update can come directly from Alcatel and not have to go through the carrier.

Still no updates on mine. As for the Bell one being unlocked...it'd be best to verify it using a non Bell and non virgin sim card to test it. It'd be highly irregular for them to not lock it.
I bought mine unlocked from Amazon.com and use it on Wind mobile up here. Got the 7SQR-UER0 update OTA around a week ago.
Generally I have found it to be more responsive, scrolling lists in apps are smooth now instead of stuttering every time. Haven't really tested the camera quality though.
My DTTW is awful I hope they push the update soon!
I have emailed telus and Alcatel at PR.NA(at)alcatelonetouch.com to see if there's an ETA or update coming anytime soon
Hopefully we hear something back
Hope we hear something back to. Seems like everyone else has the update already!

In the system updates checker what firmware does it show you having? I'm asking all these questions because if it's similar to the usa firmwares then you could download the twrp backups provided of the os with all updates and flash to your device. Details on the project are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/want-to-able-to-install-ota-updates-t3163745 You'd be booting twrp and doing a restore instead of a backup but same basic process.

When it comes to emailing TELUS, you'd be better off asking their social media team..so Twitter or Facebook. Email probly won't help, or will get you a very generic answer.

I've used twrp before with root and custom ROMs but am I able to use it to flash the 6045i firmware without rooting or using twrp as the recovery?
If so has anyone else tried it?
Does Alcatel have software similar to Odin where I can load other ROMs without rooting?
So any updates yet Canadians, still nothing for me on Telus.
Still nothing on Koodo (same as Telus)
Any updates yet Canadians??
Nothing on Koodo/telus yet (not surprised)
Has anyone gotten a useful reply from their carrier yet?
@purple.epod posted a tutorial on how to put the USA firmware onto the canadian model here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/convert-canadian-6045i-to-6045i-updates-t3177979
Calling all mini owners, donate to tdm, found a mini for $100 and sent him the info for it.
He has been working very hard to bring us root, now let's bring him a Dev phone!
Unlocking, root and custom ROM will come a lot faster if we get a device permanently in his hands.

It is so nice to see that the community cares more about serving the consumer than the actual company does. ?
Well, i'd like to donate, but how?

I guess you would have to pm him to ask how you can donate to him, I thought he had a link up for donations.
I'd take the donations and buy the phone for him since I live closer to the seller, but I don't know if he got the PM I sent him about it and bought it or not yet.
He's gotten the device, use the link in the op to ask how you can donate to tdm and offset the cost, he plans on releasing custom roms soon.
Very exciting time to be a mini owner.
I'm excited and can't wait! I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and Nexus 5x those have very good development support, I can't wait to start flashing ROMs and kernels on this mini!
Hey @fallen00sniper hope you don't mind me hijacking this thread, but I wanted a place to update everyone on progress and I didn't want to start a new thread.
Current status as of Oct 3 2017
Unlock
Unofficial unlock tool has been released.
Waiting for official ZTE unlock.
TWRP
Alpha version posted in unlock thread. This uses the binary kernel and init from stock (including enforcing selinux) and does not have decrypt support, so it is not optimal.
Working on a full source build and eventual official TWRP builds.
Custom ROMs
I have just now successfully booted the device with a source built kernel based on the ZTE provided sources. I'm starting on Lineage 14.1 support. This will probably take at least a week or two.
Once Lineage 14.1 is working reasonably well, I will also do an AOKP build since that is my preferred ROM. I can help community members with other ROMs, but I won't maintain them myself.
Other
Collecting information on regional variants.
@saymonek has a single-SIM UK/Europe version that is reportedly stuck on 6.0. Are there any more variants?
@tdm, completely fine by me.
while you are in the rom getting them up and running, check into why the touch screen sucks at positional tapping, mine isn't 100% accurate lol
Did a bit of research on variants by trolling through ZTE support. So far I've found:
* USA version.
* UK Carphone Warehouse version.
* International "open market" version (eg. Austria).
* Hong Kong version.
First build done:
Package Complete: /home/tdm/out/laos-14.1/target/product/tulip/lineage-14.1-20171003-UNOFFICIAL-tulip.zip
This is going to need a fair amount of work before it boots and runs, but ... progress!
Oh also FYI... I've been cribbing from the HTC One A9 (hiae) device for Lineage builds. haie is maintained by intervigil, who I had the pleasure to work with at cyngn. I'd say he is one of the top four or five device people in the custom ROM world. And it looks like he has been actively working on Lineage 15.0 so we should get that soon after nightly builds start.
It's so exciting to see device development take off!
Just a quick update...
I had a ... uh ... "server malfunction" yesterday so didn't get a chance to do much. However, I'm back in business today.
So far today I've got linage to start the boot animation. Should be able to get all the way to the home screen tomorrow.

Hello, can I change my axon 7 mini back to the US variant? It was originally US variant, I mistakenly switched US band in the engineering menu and Iost network services. I managed to get it working with the European firmware from ZTE Russia. Would like to revert to the US variant. I noticed in the bootloader version, the US version is P852A12 whilst the European variant is P852A11. Any luck on reverting to US variant?
Can you not access the engineering menu and switch back?
If not, my suggestion would be to use QPST and/or QXDM. These are proprietary tools but you can find them for download. They will allow you to program the frequency bands that your phone uses.
Good luck.

I can access the engineering menu. The device is working but would have loved to switched back to US variant because it's a US variant initially but I am unable to install the US firmware I downloaded from ZTE US Support site
I'm sure we can get you back on US firmware.
What is the error when you try to flash the ZTE package?
