VPN for update?

Hey guys, so a friend of mine has a One Plus 3 but he didn't recived the update yet. So he utilized a vpn to connect to servers from Canada and UK and he got the update.
Has some one claimed that he got the update from sweden, if there are any possibility to connect to another area to look for that update. Specially in sweden

Sadly that won't work unless you have a device from that region or you're running the previous firmware from that region. The OP3 isn't region specific, so he can get the update from any region. The Honor 8 though has various models for each region of the world. (L04/L14 US, L09 EU, etc)

Ohh I see, thanks for responding. That is sad tho :/

You shouldn't need to connect to the device OEM's server via a VPN in order to get updates for your device. As OTA OS updates are sent to each device dependent on their model number and the regional OS settings.

if you know the update version just download it online and manually install it?

I read the thread but I'm out of luck cuz I don't have wifi no router near me. To complicated to do that.
:/

I don't know why everybody is in such a hurry to upgrade their OS from Marshmallow to Nougat. When Nougat is only available for a handful of devices at the moment. The majority of the other Nougat release are still in the Beta cycle and have numerous bugs that have yet to be addressed yet.

Just wait till you notice that allot of features that were in Marshmallow are missing in the Nougat Beta. While the performance maybe slightly better than Marshmallow. Nougat still isn't ready for retail use on the Honor 8 yet.

All essential features are here. Getting 5 to 6 sot.
I haven't faced a single issue. Plus I'm not a guy for complaining about features. I buyer the Honor 8 because of speed. And that's what I'm getting.

It's because the Nougat on this phone means EMUI 5 and it's 10x better than EMUI 4.1 .. trust me
it's a much better phone on Nougat EMUI5 ( Even Beta) BTW I think the current B360 for the L04 is the final Beta.
It will go live in the next 4 or 5 weeks. (Huawei is really slow)

B360 is definitely a fully functional build. I have yet to find anything broken and it even includes Vulkan api. As said above, EMUI 5.0 is miles ahead of EMUI 4.1. It's a much better and cleaner looking UI.

AH! I forgot that the new version of EMUI is better than the current version. It's the same with most android device OEMs.

Frustration! Please Help

I have Note 8 Noughat Now.
I bought this AT&T Phone from some one.
I want to update to Oreo but I couldn't.
I am wondering which Firmware should I download , there are tons of firmwares :s
Seriously why do I need an AT&T Sim card to update my phone, worst idea ever.

Yeah, I'm in no rush. I've tried out Android 10 on other devices and liked it, except for the utterly stoooooooopid way they f'd up recents!!!!, although I'm not sure about OneUI 2. Mainly, I still need to be able to use XprivacyLua, thus EdXposed, thus Magisk, so...

I was kinda hoping that there would be some updates to DeX....I enjoy using DeX, but it can sure use some refinements.

Can this firmware be flashed onto a currently XAR wifi only model? Or is it only workable on the Lte model?

tab s6 WIFI android 10!!!
For Samsung Tab s6 WIFI version NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where to download?

Will the Tab S6 support up to Android 12, or should we just expect til' Android 11?

If Samsung keeps his policy of two major updates only, then definitely 11.

Thank you for keeping us impatient types safe. ?

Question, I just got the Tab S6 (t-mo) variant, but have it running on a VzW mvno. I'm pretty sure I won't get any official updates so wanted to know if this update can be applied? I'm concerned because mine shows SM-T867 and this shows 865. I've done adb updates on other devices just not too sure on this since I just got it a few days ago.

Hi
Is anyone able to share the zip file, I have been trying to download on frija for last 2 days. Download always stops halfway through or finishes prematurely.
Thanks
Reset my PC and managed to get it all working.

Well then..... my phone just picked it up this morning. So new to me then I guess!

One UI 5 for the N986U1

Does anyone know when will the N986U1 receive one UI 5 update?

Should have gotten already in most of world. (source 9-5 Google)

I dont have it yet on mine either.

Same here for the u1, been looking around for any word on it. We should receive it when the U version receives 5.0

Yeah. Kinda sux.

I have a U model and I've gotten Android 13 and UI5. My wife has a U1 and she is still stuck on Android 12 and UI4.
I sure would like to know for sure if U1 models will ever get it!

It really sucks waiting so long while everyone else is getting that experience.
Hopefully, we will get it soon

I got it on my U1 finally.

Must not be too widely available, SamMobile doesn't have it available for download. The most recent firmware they have for the XAA Unlocked model is Android 12 on the November 2022 update.

I just registered just to comment that they just released the update with OneUi 5 after months of waiting for it (confirmed also in SamMobile for XAA)
Installing it right now on my cell phone
