Hello everyone,
I've tried running a search for this topic but I can't seem to find anything. I've read on multiple threads that the D820 and D821 runs practically the same stock roms with the only difference between the two being the radios for LTE. Since I've just got my D821 (I'm in Malaysia and I'm sick of waiting for the Nexus 6 to debut here!), I still don't have the OTA to update to Lollipop. I'm guessing its the same issue with my GNEX back in the day where my model was maintained by Samsung's servers and hence get them slower than those devices who are maintained by Google's servers (folks in the USA mostly).
So here's the thing, I'm thinking of flashing my stock android to the Playstore version so I can get the OTAs as soon as Google releases them, but my problem is with the LTE bands. I guess my question is, if I flash my D821 to a stock image for D820 WITHOUT tinkering with my radio, will I still have my LTE bands here enabled and at the same time get OTAs promptly from Google's servers?
I did this on my GNEX in the past and it worked great and my "Asian spec" GNEX was getting OTAs within a day or two after Google announces and update (inline with the folks in the US). I just want this to happen for my Nexus 5. I hope one of the gurus here can help me with an answer.
Thank you for reading and sorry for the long post!
There is no difference between a D820 and D821 except the bands they can use. EVERYTHING ELSE is EXACTLY the same.
The stock firmware image is the same for D820/D821, and there is nothing like "country code" of samsung, and all D820/D821 use the same firmware no matter buy it via playstore or from a retail.
if you still didn't get the 5.0 OTA, you may have something wrong as every N5 should get it already.
Thank you Lethargy and Dummyplug, I checked it again and it's still 4.4.4. I just got the phone like 2 hours ago, and when I switched it on, it went updated twice. I believe they're 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. I'll give it a couple of days and see what happens.
Dear OP, I made a big mistake, I've created a Question thread in the General Forum, please move it there thank you!

Hello xda-developers and thank you for reading this. I bought a new Nexus 5 today and flashed it with the original Google Lollipop ROM realeased some days ago. Everything runs fine so far but I can't get the service working. I've searched old threads to the best of my ability but couldn't find a solution, I hope you can. As said in the title I'm going with Vodafone Germany. Attached are some screenshots that hopefully give you all the information you need.
Thanks in advance!

No problem here with Vodafone Germany on my Nexus 5 running Android 5.0. Maybe your Sim Card is defect? Do you have another phone to test the Sim.
I tested the sim today on another phone, it works fine. I am currently testing different modems... I was hoping to avoid unlocking my brand new phone for a while but hey

Shouldn't be necessary to install another modem. Maybe it is a hardware defect? Do you have another Sim to test the Sim tray? Was it working on 4.4 before you flashed Lollipop?

I didn't test it before I installed Lollipop. It could be a Hardware defect (But I'd find that odd, I ordered it online and it runs perfect aside from the cell signal) I will return it if I get fed up with the issue, but that would mean no phone for another 3-4 days
Why do you think a different modem won't make a difference? A different SIM card did get a signal in Nexus when I asked for help in a vodafone shop I was if I recall correctly. But my SIM card also worked in another phone
Edit: I tested another SIM card just now, it showed service for a while with an exclamation mark (see attachment) but then went back to 0 bars
Edit 2: Also not working on Android 4.4.4

I'm not a developer, have you tried changing the preferred network type to wcdma only or gsm only in the phone testing menu?

I already tried the LPX13D Modem (from the list of different modems for the Nexus 5 by autoprime on xdadev, can't link to it because I have less than 10 posts...). Is the one you linked any different?

Well it looks like I was sent a broken phone... I will return it tomorow. If someone reads this in the next 12 hours and has another idea I'd love to hear it
Thanks for your time guys.
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

Hey everyone,
As stated in the title, I'm a real noob when it comes to rooting/flashing phones. Please bear with me through the stupid questions.
I've started to get sick/bored of my phone running version 4.4.2 with emui 3.0. I bought this phone off Amazon when it came out because I wanted something new. Sammy, LG, etc weren't producing phones I liked.
when the Mate 8 came out with newer software, I wondered what would happen with my phone, and boy did I get some bad news.
I own the MT7-TL10V100R001C00B130 version, which seems to get none of the updates that the Malaysia area phones get.
http://imgur.com/78imLxd
I messaged Huawei Support, and they confirmed the bad news.
http://imgur.com/XtQpgoW
I even tried contacting the UAE support like they suggested, but I haven't gotten a reply back.
I've looked at threads like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/help-please-impossible-to-update-mt7-t3286615
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-mt7-l09-l10-stock-firmware-ota-t3275784
but in the end, they don't help me very much.
I've given up on any hope of my phone being updated OTA, so I've decided to sign up and post here to ask question(s):
1. Is there a firmware I can download/install to update my phone to something newer even if the builds don't match?
2. If I must result to rooting, I'm willing to give it a try, but then I'd like to have Nougat on the phone. Are there stable builds for this yet? or must I wait longer?
Thanks very much for reading and any help you can provide.

Hi,
To answer your questions:
1) You can download B324 Malaysia from https://mega.nz/#!h1JDnQaB!En6LMDE6hbm22m0xFX2fbWZWwoGX2urEXrPRJaFlRxc, unzip it and put UPDATE.app file in SDCARD/dload folder in root of SDCARD. Then try to update it from the Updater in Settings. You will then have lollipop. Back up your apps/settings etc before, just in case.
2) Not necessary to root, but there are lots of posts in the Mate7 forum that can assist if you do want to root. Nobody knows yet if Nougat will be released for the Mate 7 (I'm thinking unlikely, as we already got Lollipop and Marshmallow, and the phone is two years old, but you never know)
thanks for much for the info.
for option #1, is there any other precaution i need to take? do i simply just copy paste into the sd card?

I have rooted two Android phones previously and rooted this model once before. I have spent over an hour searching the forums for any clear answers and all I can find is jargon and nicknames that take me 10 minutes to unpack for each forum post only to discover that it might or might not apply to my particular phone.
Enough complaining.
What can I do with my phone with my LG G4 h81022c?
Can I put a different Marshmallow rom on it?
Can I get to Nougat?
Can I root it?
I have been having issues with the Google Play service apps like Store, Music, and Photos and need to at the very least restore to factory settings.
I think there should be a sticky thread saying "If you go past update xxxxxx you are screwed"

Nougat is not out yet. And only choice is factory reset. I don't think we have newer firmware to flash. And you most likely cannot flash an older one due to antirollback.

WOW! That's amazing that they have neutered this phone so much I'm several security updates behind and I have no faith that LG and AT&T will upgrade my phone.

There's already a thread about an update coming hopefully by the end of the year.
But I think the G4 was a dud right when the bootlooping started.
