else try checking for softwareupdate , in the same screen which you took screenshot
About phone -> System Updates

Thanks for your response man!! i have 24 hour internet connection but i am not receiving any updates

you both from india? i think everyone in india will get updates at the same time
i too dont know why you are not getting updates.. but i will try to figure out by knowing what is difference between your phone and mine..
1) have you enabled developer options ?? i had them enabled ..
2) i have signed in to motorola ID ( in settings -> personal > motorola ID )
3) got the update after 12 hours, where every one here claimed they got update.. ( i got the notification about software update as soon as i ON my wifi )
did you have all these as i have?
if yes, then try another thing.. install MOTOROLA DEVICE MANAGER, and connect your phone to your PC and try looking for any software updates..
NOTE : i am kind of getting a feeling that - software updates are now no longer active, they must be downloaded on that time only !!

Me too have the same build number. The system version you have is not getting any updates. Motorola claims that they build software for different build numbers so i think we may get marshmallow directly. Those who got update check their phone and i possible send a screenshot of the system version. You will see that it is different hope it clears your doubt.

The info which baner bro said seems to be promising..

Goto help app and ask motorrola why im not getting updates even my friend on another build number got that. They will tell you the same thing what i have told to you.

I have the latest patch and I still have two vulnerabilities. Contacting Motorola is pretty useless though. I'm not that worried though because I use Textra as my messaging app and it like most of the other 3rd party MMS apps have the fix built in. If you're that worried, look at Chomp and Textra which are both better than the stock app.

Crap.... I can confirm also on the D850.... DO NOT UPDATE until we know what it exactly is.
Does anyone know the time limit between an update popping up(being able to dismiss and postpone it) and then being forced?

Did not see that, thanks!
I'm completely stock at the moment so I just did the disable OTA from the hidden dialer menu that can be found in the lounge thread. Hope that's enough to prevent any unwanted updates while I fix up the PC in the meantime

Is this the lollypup update? Or some other security crap
This is not the Lollipop update. Its an OTA to address some bugs, security issues, and remove/add some bloatware.
Personally I wouldn't be surprised if its AT&T slipping something else in to mess with root or worse.
I'd avoid it till you hear from others what the downsides are.

Last I saw some people weren't able to bump their phone after it. I may be wrong though.
****Edit: It supposedly patches towel root. Definitely avoid for now if you plan on flashing Roms in the near future.

Software Update AT&T LG G# 850
I disabled the OTA update by dialing 3845#*850# but still get the software update notification. Is there another way to disable OTA updates that makes it stick. I don't want to lose root and twrp recovery. Does anybody know which files to freeze in Titanium Backup so the OTA update will not pop up?

Excellent question. I've been looking for a while, as well.
Odd - I received the notification and accepted the OTA, yet did not lose root.
My phone forced the update last night and it seemed I didn't have root this morning, but I just installed SuperSU again from Play Store, and it was able to update itself and I had root again after it rebooted.
I re-enabled ota and cleared dalvik and cache and now I see a message saying invalid update and to re-download. Will try again when I get home.
I froze Software Update in Titanium Backup and have not gotten a forced update or nay since yesterday.

[OTA] HTC One E8 (M8sd - India) - 1.26.720.5 to 1.26.720.6

Hi people,
I got this notification early this morning for an OTA software update, which adds some USSD code stability, enhancements and bug fixes but no File Manager..

Also, now at boot, under the HTC logo, the font in which Android was written has changed to the new style:
Here is the link to the OTA I downloaded: https://mega.co.nz/#!0MhhjboT!VZVUVq61sJa05XZVaaN1n8TdLzGPU5917i40KUYcnws
Wow. And my 1.25.720.3 device has no OTA yet, I think I need to be a bit worried now.

That is because I'm on Reliance CDMA. It shows a separate signal for 1x and EvDO.. Also, I don't even use the dual SIM.. I just use it with one..
Hi guys
I just updated from 1.26.720.5 to 1.26.720.6 today
I can confirm that my sys r/w boot.img works on the latest update, so you all can use it too for perfect root !
As per improvements i haven't noticed much other than the USSD code problem.
I use to have a problem with sim 2 before the update.
Whenever i try to check balance on sim2 (airtel) using *123# i use to get error , BUT after the latest update it is fixed.
Njoy!

Your current firmware is probably 1.25.720.3. That's why. I guess we need to go to SVC to get it updated. -_-

One of my friends went to the service center and spoke to HTC Support as well and he was told that there are no updates over 1.25.720.3.. Isn't that strange!

It's not really, from what I know, it also depends on the availability of the latest software with them, which needs to be coordinated beforehand. In any case, I'll be finding out soon at the Bangalore SVC, since the Kolkata one didn't have the 1.26.720.5 too. I want my phone to be up to date. They are not even pushing out OTA. This is bull****, I'll create a ruckus if they say no update is available. :/

He has got the Update because he Using reliance CDMA. This update should be carrier based update. .. and hope that's others didn't receive...
It isn't carrier based. My phone was on a newer firmware to begin with. I didn't buy it from the carrier anyway.
Lollipop update corrupted
On my HTC E8 dual SIM Indian phone (bought from Flipkart at 32k), I checked for update and got 1.25.720.5. After updating successfully, checked again and updated 1.25.720.6 too. The next check said Lollipop update 2.33.720.3 (863.75 MB) available. Ever since then (yesterday), I've downloaded the update three times unsuccessfully. After completion, which sometimes takes 6-8 hours, it says the update file is corrupted, and to download again. I started the download for fourth time.
Question: Anyone else facing/faced similar problem? What's the remedy?
I have done NO software tweaks on my phone since purchase.
Thanks in advance.

Please can you confirm if in videcamera menu the option live effects is missed ? the camera quality is ok ?? I had problems when I updated in Taiwan rom , live effects in video recording missed and the quality of the camera was much worst than with kit kat this is because I came back to kit kat, at present I have SEA (Singapore) rom and I would like to update but I have panic because I worry that the same problems remains.

Ok. Thanks, would be appreciated if tomorrow or so you can confirm battery drains or not, also I remember when I updated that the charging time was 1 hour more than the usual 90 min and the bright in automatic was changing without a reason it was with the Taiwan TWN rom maybe as Singapore has been out 3 months later this updae better, I hope so. anyway it would be very goog if after a few days you can post here any improvementes you can see in the phone, thanks again for your help.
Yesterday I have updated my LG G Pro 2 D838 (SEA - Singapore) to Lollipop v5.0.1 V20A firmware. I have tried then to root this firmware using DP Tools but had no luck. My phone goes properly into Download mode but it's always stuck at 0%. I had to remove battery to boot my phone and it's not rooted. I have tried this several times but always get this message:
Any clue to resolve this problem? Thanks!
Night mode also missed in front photo camera menu with lollipop ?
Would you be able to provide aome sort of zipof the whole rom i die die need this rom my network has problems with the custom rom im on and i dont have any trace of my previous stock rom.
OK.
Confirmed that few camera and video modes have been taken out from official lollipop.
Battery drains about 10% faster than KitKat.
Battery charging is about 10% slower too.
However, I can live with those shortcomings. Not an issue for me.

U might want to unroot and or remove custom recovery.
My phone kept booting into custom recovery and could not get pass custom recovery.
I had to use adb to push a custom rom into my phone internal storage and flash the rom before I could restore it to original firmware using KDZ.
After restoring then download the update pack and run it again then no issue.
Good luck

I don't know if we'll ever get that. This release may be the last one for a long time.
I'm having no issues with the latest update.

Root !

Why is it so impossible to root the vs987 ?? Where are those Android experts ???it's been one year and me and many people stuck on the marshmallow + locked WiFi hotspot with the unlocked Verizon G5s !! Is there a hope ?

This platform was dead before it started. Sorry to say. They can't get root with a locked bootloader. Verizon won't do it.

There are many Android experts that could unlock the bootloader Right ? Is it how it works ??? If yes that means they could unlock it ..

My understanding, not as a programmer by any means...is that the phone needs to have an unlocked bootloader prior to even having the ability to gain root. If the service provider (Verizon) doesn't unlock this, root cannot happen in a traditional sense. Carriers such as T-Mobile have a root for this phone as they come with unlocked bootloaders. You wont see root on the Verizon variant.

no there isnt hope unless u figure it out the "experts" have tried time and time again
the bootloaders arent locked they are signed with a very special key that would take ever computer together in the worl roughly 200000 years plus to brute force into. verizon and att are the worst
now you all know. as said before if u wanted to root you should have studied before buying a "locked" device
if u want root either get a rootable device or figure it out on your own
as with the g4 there will more than likely never be root for these "locked" devices
not being an ass just the cold hard truth

they cant unlock the bootloader or it would have been done
lgs verity key prevents this through qfused motherboards highly encrypted partitions that the bootloader verifys and if one thing is off bam lg secure boot error.
which again is basicly hardcoded into the device.
no one is going to waste their time trying a 99.9% impossible feat
The phone is just not popular enough the Verizon Galaxy S7 I believe is unlocked for the bootloader. If the phone is popular enough a developer will work on it.

This is old 99% of these G5s are now on 7.0 or higher and cannot roll back
Anyone try this yet?
I found a link dated march 28th 2018. It was called Install TWRP Recovery and Root LG G5 on Android Nougat on **********.c** I cant post links. I'm new to the forum. I wanna try it but im scared because im a noob and dont really know what im doing.
Please let me know if you have tried or know someone who has. Thanks
Hi,
Has anyone ever tried one click root dot com ? They explicitly mention that they can root the vs987 variant. I'm willing to pay if someone can confirm me that it really works...
Thanks

You need to be on marshmallow or have anti-rollback to be 0 which <1% of ppl have. Also, it's not a complete root, so although you have root permissions, it's unstable and you have no root manager (SuperSU/Magisk/etc.)

Oreo 8.1 Update now rolling out!

18/04/18 UPDATE: Factory Image and Kernel Source are live!
It's being rolled out so you might not have it right away.
My own Unofficial Changelog since the one Razer provided was lacking
Added 8.1 features such as PiP, smart text, new power menu and switch off/reboot animation
Added Updated Dialer (looks more like the Pixel Dialer now)
Added "Colour" under "Display" to tune the display between "Natural" "Boosted" and "Vivid"
Fixed Crashing Issue with Netflix and Google Play Movies
Updated Dolby Atmos Application and equaliser
If you have any issues/bugs please post with a detailed description of it and if it can be replicated. Also upload any bug reports to your Google Drive and share the link here so the developers can take a look.
How to Take a Bug report.
Activate Developer Settings by going to Settings>System>about phone and tap the build number repeatedly.
Once done go back once and you should see "Developer Options"
In here press "Take Bug Report" and then "Full Report"
Wait a bit and you'll see a notification, press it and upload to Google Drive
Once in Google Drive get the link for the .zip file and make sure the sharing settings are changed to "anyone can edit" and then share the direct link to the file here.
I know this sounds like a lot but it's very easy and really helps the developers.
Downloading now. Hopefully will be a good update considering how long it took.
Already installed (on a de-branded phone, btw). It looks like the screen is about 10% brighter than it was before the update, but I may be wrong. Has anyone else noticed the same?

Someone on the Razer forums said the same thing.
If someone could test something for me I would be very greatful but you have to follow these steps exactly and let me know the outcome. The Theme isn't the cause it's just easier to see.
go to System settings>display>colours and change the colour scheme to "Vivid"
Change your theme to something vibrant like flat green or crimson from the razer theme store
Change the theme on Gboard to something bright like red/green
open Google chrome and tap the field box so the keyboard appears
now swipe the quick toggles all the way down with no notifications making sure the keyboard is still up
Now when you look at your quick toggles is the colour switching from vivid to normal by itself? been trying to find the cause of this on my unit but was a bit hard with hardly anyone on the dev preview.
It will be interesting to see if the Three variant has the update delayed. I am still struggling with debranding mine but if the update does roll out with the SIM free devices I will stop trying.

Hi,
Is there any new settings such as haptic feedback vibration settings?
God knows how long we will have to wait for factory images to be released.
As those of us who are on the DP will not receive the OTA, and cannot roll back to N neither
To those of you that don't have the update yet, just install a VPN app like protonvpn and connect to a US server, then check for updates...
Thank me later.

D:\adbb>adb sideload ota.zip

try instaling via ADB sideload .. hopefully working for me .. thanks dude :good:
*UPDATE
its working btw Thanks dude !! im so happy with this update !!
Stock recovery should be able to flash it, it's the same file your device would download.
Whats the correct way to install the OTA???
Fully fresh install DP 1 and then the OTA over it??? (I'm using the DP 1, but I rooted and messed with some files already, I want the fully fresh experience).
Best regards

In my case, I already instal DP1 .. and then roll back to nougat version via fastboot .. then relock the bootloader.
And then update via adb sideload the OTA update

All right then.
So, first install the factory image: https://developer.razer.com/razer-p...210.450019206.1523910795-820167234.1522079918
Then relock the bootloader.
And then ADB Sideload the OTA.
I heard some users had problems downgrading from the DP1 to N, you had any issue???
Best regards,
