So it seems like we'll need to fight over at the Microsoft forums if we're to try to stay up-to-date. I need you to contribute to my post over at msdn here: http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/p/78753/476964.aspx#476964
Maybe if enough of us hit'em, we can get some kind of answer. Dev phones should have been the first to be updated.
Still no updates for Taylor.
It says in the forums that you linked to that there will be no updates for the Samsung Taylor phones.

Seems like there won't be and update for LG Panthers either.
Anyone wanna trade for an Android device?
Might be a newb question here but....
Did people have to pay for these developer phones? Or did MS just send them out to registered/respected developers?
I suppose, you can flash your phone with the Omnia 7/Quantum ROM at your own risk.

I would like to give th Quantum ROM a try , but I do not know where to start. I am a Bell user in Canada so I think they have the Quantum. I used to flash old WM and Android Devices all the time, but WP7 is new to me. Anyone have a thread or no if anyone has sucessfully flashed a LG Panther to anything else? I can get into a bootloader, but it is probably just Microsofts bootloader.

Looks like it's really possible, because i succesfully connected to the phone using QXDM, and even downloaded NAND's image (it's raw, so for extracting page size required, because size in the partition table is relative to page size). Though may flash it, i think bootloader will work. But you probably can get bricked device. Unfortunally i have no enough time for explorations.

I think flashing the unbranded Optimus 7 ROM would be the best bet for us. There is a registry key named "HasKeyboard" that's defaulted to 0 that we can change to 1. That might be the way to go. Also I'm wondering if we'd have to go the goldcard method to move over to a Quantum or Optimus rom.
The problem is I don't have another phone and there's no MTTY process to unbrick our phones so I'm a little hesitant to try.

Goldcard isn't required. Only HTC devices require it.
I've dumped my ROM, so if bootloader will work (i hope), device can be easily flashed.
Is anyone wanna to try? QPST can flash certain partitions (looks like only dsp1 and efs are required for succesful update). Unfortunally i can't risk my phone, because i'm developing an application.

Not being rude, but are people complaining that a phone that they received for free is not getting the update and not being continued? If you never paid anything for it in the first place, what are you out then?

I am not sure if it is worthwhile attempting a flash. The problem is we are all developers and having no device is probably not worth the risk. I have not flashed anything WP7 so I am pretty hesitant. Is this the link to flashing info you guys are considering?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935605
In reading the other threads, there is no real confirmation on the Panther not getting updated. It is clear the the Taylor will not. I am curious if we are running the exact ROM that another device is? If so, ROM from those devices may work. I am trying to remember what the download name was (was it Pacific or something?). I deleted the file. If I still had it I would consider giving flashing a try. I wish Microsoft had not shut down the microsoft connect site for these phones. Any thoughts?

I got mine off of eBay due to it being the best keyboard phone out at the time (the Quantum is a joke), so it wasn't free for me. Once we get a HTC 7 Pro here that's compatible with AT&T's 3G bands, I'll switch over to that.

Well there is going to be a point where and update or feature will make our phones aka gw910 or Taylor completely useless as for development or testing, so this is something to consider.
Yeah connect has been down since a long time ago I have been struggling to find the FW file provided in the msdn/connect/internet forums, I’m guessing the only way now is to contact either a developer/evangelist/god/msdn who has that file available in storage, with the firmware we can create our own updated custom FW way easier than creating one from scratch and/or experiment with other FW like the optimus 7/Q.
And idea can we consider spoofing the gw910 to an optimus 7/Q .7004 using the registry editor? Making ZUNE update just the components needed.
also im willing to give it a go flashing mi gw910 UsellesGuy any info on how can i dump mi firmware. and posible explanation as in how to recover.I read the bootloader post before but is there anything else i need ?

Microsoft delivers updates using binary patches, they apply only to concrete file version, else they will be broken (or updating will be failed).
Thank you, but i think better way is to wait a bit, until situation about updates will clear up. If update will be not received - i'll begin my work

On twitter I've tired contacting @winphonesupport as far as our phones being updated. They replied: "Let us see if our team knows and we'll get back to you. ^EB"
I haven't gotten another answer back yet. I doubt I'll get one at all honestly.
quick question about updating a developer device
Hi
I'm a complete newby about wp7.
I've two Optimus 7 in my possession that seem to be developer devices.
Here the phones info:
OS Version: 6516Mainline
SW Version: LG-E900AT-00-V08d-ORG-UK-JUL-24-2010
HW Version: E
More info:
OS Version: 6516Mainline (buildlab).20100713-1228
Firmware revision number: 0.8.4.10
Hardware revision number: 0.1.5.0
Bootloader version: 1.4.1.0
Chip SOC version: 0.30.2.0
Now I've tried to update the firmware like in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578
But it doesn't work (LGDP2 connect to phone start the update but give the error 1002)
Is there a way to flash these phones to be like normal phones? (I don't intent to develop on them) Or my hardware version is to old (prototype)
Thanks for the help

so you are relying on a dev phone that MS was gracious enough to give you as your only device and are complaining that you didn't get the update???
edit: after reading your replies, this wasn't a publicly released phone, so if you don't get the updates, I don't feel you have a complaint.
Ok everyone that has this device. Ive managed to get the stock firmware and files off of the latest update from Samsung. Now all I need is some help to compile a working TWRP, or Philz. Ive been at it a little today and not much progress. But here is the link to the stock firmware. http://www.mediafire.com/download/pk25ey721x6i9oj/Sol_Firmware.zip
So if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Its running on the Exynos 3,( "Universal3475") chipset, Android 6.0.1, sdk23, 1.3GHZ quadcore processor, and 1.5 gigs of ram and 8 gigs of internal storage.
ok ive managed to get the firmware extracted and processed through Android Kitchen adding Su, Superuser.apk, And also BusyBox. That was the good news, the bad news is that for the life of me I cant get the zip to flash through the stock recovery, and when I compiled a .tar to flash with Odin, Odin would just crash as soon as I hit the start button. So if anybody out there can take this a little further than I could please feel free. Here is the link to the new processed zip. http://www.mediafire.com/download/vka0271hu8mz02l/Kitchen_Processed_SOL_Firmware.zip
Very nice, thanks for this. Were you able to find a root for this phone? I tried a couple ones and they didn't seem to work.
No root yet but I'm going to set my PC up tomorrow with some .IMG decompilers and see if I can inject su and the binaries and flash through Odin. Will keep everyone updated as I go. It's the first "custom" ROM for me, and of course it's on a device with little to no support.
Anyone?
Trying to root here too, anyone have any luck yet?

I've tried almost all of my Samsung tricks. I came across an article once saying that the AT&T trick is that there is something like a folder that can replace itself after root but I've lost that article. I gave up a while ago on this waiting for something to surface but there hasn't been much. My stuff are well cared for lab-rats and if anyone's got any ideas, I have Odin!
I have some questions with this... Can i use this firmware with ODIN and flash to stock my Samsung Galaxy Sol without any problems?
EDIT: My model says: SAMSUNG-SM-J321AZ - I don't know why you put "AZ_A" in the end.
SRSRoot has an update saying that support this device for Root, you can see and test this from here:
https://twitter.com/srsroot/status/742070536172371970
EDIT AGAIN: It doesn't work, it's fake the "SRSRoot".

No like I said Odin is having a hard time with this. But the Smart Switch desktop app from Samsung flashes the phone to stock no problem, in case we mess the phone up to bad. And on good note, I can run adb shell commands on my Linux laptop so now I just gotta find the right command lines to kill Knox, cause Knox is the thing that's stopping any "one click" root method from working. I am making progress but it's at a slow crawl, I'm more used to working with Media Tek devices, not a big fan of Samsung and all the bloat they force on the consumer. Anyways getting there slowly but I will get this rooted one way or another.

Glad I stopped by here before I bought one of these. Looks like the Galaxy Grand Prime is still the best option in this size (not too big, not too small). Has very similar specs too albeit less screen resolution (don't think it matters too too much with a 5" screen), but has better front and back cameras. But most importantly there's root and alternate ROMs for the Grand Prime (very important IMO when you're only working with 8gb of space).

Yeah this one is like fort Knox when it comes to root. No memory and crummy screen. Not a phone to recommend when there are others for a little more money and a lot more bang for the buck.
Help Please!
I have the same phone Samsung SM-J321AZ so the Galaxy Sol from cricket and it came pre-loaded with 7GB of stuff which left me with 1GB to put what I need and I installed a 16GB sd card and still unable to store hardly anything to it. If any one can help me on root or even how to save to the sd card i would greatly appreciate it.

I'm new to the XDA Forums and even forums in general so if I speak out of place or anything like that I apologize ahead of time. So anyway, where do I start? I'll try to give you the short version. So I bought an LG Stylo 2(model: LG K540) through Cricket the day they came out. It was $170 phone. On the second day of using my new phone I got the bright idea that I'd try and root it BY MYSELF. I knew better but for some reason I had this false burst of confidence & thought I had everything under control. Well, thanks to Kingroot that burst of confidence didn't last long and there I was with a 2 day old phone BRICKED. Reason I never posted on the forums is because I've got a buddy who , in my eyes, knows everything there is to know about Android and thats who I'd normally go to when I wanted to root a phone so he's who I immediately turned to but even he couldn't figure it out. He couldn't help me unless we had the stock firmware or someone with the exact same phone and according to him we could some how use a backup of that phone to fix mine. Cricket just wanted to sell me another phone even though I was standing there with a 2 day old phone and LG just wants me to send the phone in to them, which I have no desire to do. I've searched all over the internet trying to locate the firmware because even I can fix the phone if I had that but nothing. Had hoped by now LG would have released the firmware but at this point who knows when that'll happen. I'd even pay for it at this point. Anyway, just thought I'd give the forum a shot on the off chance someone might be able to help me or point me in the right direction. Oh and if you were wondering what the phone does now, when I turn it on the LG logo appears like it should but then right as it appears you see a message in red lettering that says: BOOT VERIFICATION FAIL!!- CAUSE: MISMATCH_SIG_LEN And it just loops this over & over until you pull the battery out. Please someone help me!

Source code to rom¿?
I ran into basically the same situation as you. I'm currently downloading Android open source project on to a fresh install Ubuntu 16.04. I am currently in the middle of running sync.
I'm curious if there is anybody out there who would be willing to give a few pointers, on compiling the ROM from LG open source code. They told me I had to use it in the readme.txt.
Im a noob with fair knowledge of modding and stylo not stylo 2. There's no way to say for sure if this will work but on lg mm on h631 u need to unlock dev option in settings 1st. Make sure to check off oem unlock and usb debugging. Connect to pc and you will get a popup or 2, one will ask to allow pc to connect to phone, the second is to allow usb debugging. After you allow both, open cmd in your adb fastboot folder. Type " adb reboot bootloader." should reboot the phone to bootloader/fastboot mode. Then you type " fastboot oem unlock." you will see sending.. Once sending is done type " fastboot reboot." when the phone restart you should see bootloader unlocked on splash screen. Then i rooted with kingroot. Then use rashr to flash twrp. Then used twrp to flash supersu to get rid of kingroot.. My h631 now in business and i just started working on a port for lg ux 5.0. This is the guild i use for a better idea http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/guide-lg-g-stylo-how-to-root-t-mobile-6-t3333916. You might need lgflashtool and kdz to unbrick..
NO NEED to beg.
I don't know very much but I know $$$ talks and since no one save the few who suggested contacting lg wants to help, Ill try. At the moment I am efforting a solution via the Chinese. I expect to have a working copy in the next 48hrs. when I do, we can arrange for you to get access to the mega.nz cloud and get urs.

BIN File
Hello, I have a Stylo 2 K540 from cricket, it is having issues with the Wi-Fi, it will not connect to either Wi-Fi or bluetooth, MAC address was set at 02:00:00:00:00 or something like that, I opened the phone and it has humidity sensor active, cleaned the affected area but it seems like it was useless, eventhough I was pretty sure that was not the main problem. I looked for some troubleshooting options and found non of use, firmware is sold for $30 online so it is not an option since I am not certain loading firmware will be of any help. I tried repairing MAC address via Octoplus using other addresses but was useless as well.
I have little to no experience with software on phones, but I like to read and learn. I decided to connect the phone to the computer and "Read full flash" on Octopus, I have created the Bin file, I have a perfectly working phone as well, I was wondering if there is any way to get the KDZ file from the Bin file doing some sort of conversion, or if I could do some sort of fix or workaround with this bin file, I can share it if anybody needs it or if it can be of any use to get the firmware

Hi, I just started using my friend's LG Aristo on MetroPCS. I just got an Android System Update pop up tonight that shows a 450.1 MB update available, but doesn't show the name of the update. The only thing it says about the update is, " This release includes updates that make your phone more secure and improves messaging.". Does anyone know what kind of update this is and if it will restrict any features? I'm using PDANet app for tethering. My friend had this phone for about two months, I don't know if he got this notification before to update it and he just didn't update it or if it's a brand new update. I got the Factory Reset Protection(FRP) lock sent to my old phone after I used PDANet to open the hotspot, that I thought was included in my plan, but I found out that it is not. So, I am very cautious about updates and anything else that Metro wants to send my way.

The only thing it says about the update is, " This release includes updates that make your phone more secure and improves messaging.". Does anyone know what kind of update this is and if it will restrict any features? I'm using PDANet app for tethering. My friend had this phone for about two months, I don't know if he got this notification before to update it and he just didn't update it or if it's a brand new update. I got the Factory Reset Protection(FRP) lock sent to my old phone after I used PDANet to open the hotspot, that I thought was included in my plan, but I found out that it is not. So, I am very cautious about updates and anything else that Metro wants to send my way.

Nobody I know of has accepted the update. I was gonna do a clean start so I could try the update out, but free time has been hella scarce. Since it's a LG update for metro, we can automatically surmise it won't interfere with unlocking the bootloader or enabling root access. (They wouldn't pull something like that after the LG motion)
Tether is included in every plan that involves more than 2 gigs of high speed data. You get a hard limit for how much high speed data is used for tether though.

Do you have a computer at home?
i did the useual for me ..the "throw my brains in a blender and go for what i read was ultimately stupid"
and tried the update...and ended up in a TWRP bootloop....
went back n forth flashing Lineage TWRP and my stock bla TWRP somthing like 4 times...
finally when things decided to boot
after the last time flash i tried the lineage TWRP....i marveled at how fast it booted....
then booted TWRP to flash my huge boring stock backup...
and junks back to the old funk...just from 9/28 when i first was going to try Lineage...
should've used it as an excuse to try out the debloated rom....
can anyone tell me how to turn off Updater in terminal ....
moving files and renaming things always gets me running in these same exact circles..
is it safe to remove Updater???
sorry if i type like i think..i'm trying to be unique ...my logic is just really fuzzy
i only apologize because someone that was have a bad day decided it was the best thing to zero in on in an android forum and get bossy about it...sorry..i think too much ..most of it's useless...OK..i post this now
Yep i have a computer. Read about two different applications to flash the stock kdz. One called lg up an the other lg flash tool. The only thing is im not sure about is which app is best to use or does it matter?
Edit:
i did a search for "flash stock rom lg aristo" the top two guides lead me to the applications. Just saying where i found it in case anyone was wondering. *haven't tried yet

Either one does the job really. LG up is built for newer devices, so you'd be better off
Did anyone download the 450.1 MB update yet?

It's a security update and the kernel was clock locked to 1248mhz and lower. It shouldn't clock any higher than 1248.
Hello,
As we know there are many H90021w firmware user found their phone is not working as it should be. There are some issues like fingerprint sensor is not working, cant uninstalling apps, etc. I found the only way to solve is by updating the firmware to 21z or 22b only. I've try to find in on the net throughly only to find after the v21w firmware, newer firmwares are stored in the AT&T server, not on the LG server anymore. And the only way to get the OTA is by using an AT&T simcard and in the US. This definitely a problem to those who live outside the US just like me.
And it's not possible to downgrade, trust me, maybe I've try everything that possible including taking out the emmc from the board, erasing everything and put the lollipop firmware in it. Simply not working. Mind you, when I put that emmc (lollipop) on another board (vs990 too) which were originally lollipop and never use the 21w firmware, it's working fine.
So basically updating to 21z or 22b is the only way. Also if there's any 21w user and the phone is normal, maybe you can help too.
All we need is to put the phone on qualcomm 9008 mode, copy some partitions, zip it and upload to somewhere. It's perfectly safe as I did it many many times to backup my phone and some friend's phones (v10 and G4). We'll exclude the imei partition and userdata, so it will be safe for you.
This method is also useful for other purposes. You can full backup your phone and restore it if theres anything happen. For those who have bootlooped phone, you can backup it and restore to another working phone and you'll have almost the same state of the phone. Of course the type of the phone should be identical and the arb is ok. If the arb is stil 0, you can even switch the carrier to Tmobile.
This could be used for many purposes, but let's get this one done first. If its working, I'll put it in a new "how to" thread so many will be helped. We can also arrange donations for those who help. We can discuss it by pm.
So hopefully someone can help and we can discuss on private message about the method in details.
Thank you
Nobody?
Hi all,
Probably my previous request were too much.
I found an easier and faster way to do it. No need to go to mode 9008 or modifying the cable.
All it need is LGup patched which can be found on https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222 and a normal data cable.
If anybody willing to help, feel free to let me know.
Thank you

I hope you have news. I have the same problem without solution so far.
Nope. Although still hoping to find someone eager to help, I think this H900 section is practically dead.

Wow awesome, thank you!
I already got 21z by myself and planning to ask a few $$ from others since no one helping since months ago. But with your help we can help others too. I'll send a pm later today with some instruction, need to back home first and recheck the method.
Thanks again.

Yeah I'll need some instructions, its been a long time since I last used LGUP or anything similar... ^^
Now, I just checked, I am running H90022b, but I'm not entirely sure whether this would solve your problem.
I have an LG V10, AT&T locked, but with a verizon motherboard... This means that in my case, some security options don't work, I can't update, can't use a fingerprint sensor and worst of all, I can't deinstall apps. (I'm never buying refurbished devices again ^^)
However, if you have a normal V10 (H900), this should be no problem. The software is still the same, its flashed as a H900, whilst it should be a H901 I think.
