Q1. Do I need to relock boatloader to use RUU?
Q2. There's a OTA update (link to Mega drive) on another thread posted by Ian.anindaya of Mdsd (Indian version); How to install that OTA update? Is it a executable file of zip to flash? (Further information related to it)
Q3. Do survival mode keep my phone rooted?
Q4. Does anyone faces VPN connection problem after rooting? My data is disconnected whenever I use VPN service.
Q5. Anyone facing USSD problem in SIM 2 after rooting? I am unable to check my balance through USSD. Mine is Indian version (Mdsd)
Thanking You.

Phone was activated and now it's trying to download the OTA to 4.4.4 and I was wondering.
Should I remove the verizon sim to stop the download, does the sim need to be present to do the following?
Can I use Sunshine without the sim present?
Can I flash a Rom without the sim present?
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Got my M8 last week. The 4.4.4 update gave me an option to not install it now -- you don't have that option? It should be able to download the OTA via mobile or WiFi.
SunShine won't work on 4.4.4 until the 3.0 release (no ETA). SunShine also requires access to the Internet.
So if I were you, sunshine now while you're still on 4.4.2 or 4.4.3.
how long will it let you hold off the update?
and where is the update located so I can get rid of it?

You'll be able to hold off the update as long as you keep denying access to install. And I don't think you will be able to access the correct folders to delete/block the update till you are rooted.
Hi guys,
so as you are receiving Android 5.0.2 I spoke with my carrier today to find you that they are still waiting for Sony to provide the test software. This means more waiting for me. I'm thinking of updating following this manual - http://techbeasts.com/2015/03/16/update-sony-xperia-z3-compact-d5803-official-android-502-lollipop-231a0690-firmware-how-to/
Before I do it I have a few questions:
1. When I update using this method am I going to lose all the apps and setting that I'm using now?
2. If I choose sets say the german version of 5.0.2, does this mean that in the future I will receive OTA updates alongside the phones running this version out of the box?
Thanks in advace.

I would just point out that that thread you linked to states that it is specifically for the Z3c. That is a different device to the Z3
However, you can just flash a FTF for the Z3 found in flashtool (Or the mega collection thread) using flashtool.
You will lose all data on your phone unless you choose to not wipe data.
You will receive updates as if you had the phone with the firmware you install on it.
But you can always flash the FTF for your carrier once it comes out

Thanks Greg.
So there is a way to avoid wiping the phone when updating with flashtool ?

Untick the box that says wipe data
If you get a load of FCs after the phone boots you will have to re-flash and then wipe data
I think I got it, but I would have to read a bit more before flashing.
Thanks again
Are there any disadvantages to flashing a different version of the firmware?
For example, I'm with Three, and although they now pride themselves on their phones being unlocked, they've still put their bloody splashscreen and other bits and pieces on the provided firmware on the phone! I'd rather have the generic UK version, but just making sure there'd be no issues with that.
None for me, My phone was with ROM for Mtel ( a Bulgarian carrier)that also claims the phone is unlocked. I flashed the central Europe ROM without any issues. Even kept all the files and apps from 4.4.4
Thanks for that, I'll have a look at some of the various firmwares available and make my choice!

Hello mate, i found a solution and successfully update my device to Oreo officially i just changed the CID and MID back to KIDDI japan au and downloaded the marshmallow official flash zip file (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1noyAV4mGLTRNGaXqbdweRHsARWZ9J6LH) and install it by placing it to Mirco SD card after installation i went to software update and updated to Oreo. PS: my device were network locked while i were trying to convert it to international version but after flashing it unlocked automatically probably i flashed the wrong version. let me know in case of any problem.

If you modify your phone ( root ) you will loose the option to update ( OTA update ).
If you want to update you phone you will have to download firmware and flash with Odin. Everytime that you update firmware you will have to re-root you phone again.

Generally yes ( mainly with rooting )
You can backup your app/data by using something like Google backup service or smart switch ( PC app ).
Hey guys,
Hopefully I'm not requesteing a completely useless thing cause I haven't found a fix so far. Since it's somehow related to firmware flashing via Odin, I chose to ask in this thread.
I bought my Galaxy S8+ a while ago and carrier unlocked it (It was on Vodafone Romania). Ever since unlocking the carrier, I can't seem to receive any firmware updates for some reason.
Smart switch says I'm at the latest firmware version but according to Sammobile, I'm far from being at the last version. (Still Android 8 on it)
My phone is not rooted (I haven't felt the need to root it so far because it's been doing great). Any ideas how can I fix this and install the latest firmware?
If I download the latest Romania firmware from sammobile (carrier-free version) and flash it through Odin, would it work or I'd encounter a difference because the CSC is Vodafone Romania?
Thanks!
Hey is there a way to root the SM-G975U with security update on july 1, android pie, and a way to unroot? (like the stock rom files)
Thanks

If your device is rooted or if you have TWRP installed, you can't apply the update via OTA
If you want to update via OTA, you will have to unroot your device and undo any changes that you made to the system partition and you will have to replace TWRP with a copy of your stock recovery. Then you can apply the update. You will have to root and install TWRP again after the update is applied.
Or, you can manually download the update from the internet and then use a PC to manually flash via your device's compatible flashtool or via fastboot(whichever is intended to flash firmware on your device).

Good Morning Everyone,
@Droidriven, thanks for your kind response, but I did what you suggest, re-install Nougat Rom from Htc official link deliberately did not root it at first, click on the OTA & yet, got same complain.
I even tried 2.41.401.41--3.16.401.2_S-On_firmware.zip with it but doesn't still work.
But from my research, this is what I found out that works..
* The Phone (HTC 10) is Hong Kong Unlocked Version with build number 2.41.401.4, [email protected] as its base band.
the ROM that will work must share same details with the one provided above.
Anyone that has Oreo 8.0 (2.41.401.4) Update in RUU file format, should Please kindly share its download link with me, I regret the inconveniences, thanks in advance.
