What do you mean by saying menus are different?

They say that the update does not pass through the / about Phone list !

I'm also on 1.28.401.1 here in CZ, no updates available... But so far I found nothing bothering on that device, I love it Can't wait for SW root, I want to modify my framework

Yes - it defenetivly supports full arabic (keyboard & everything)
My phone was that arabic today that I had to do a full new install - hard to write with arabic keys
It came with the "normal" update.zip (new hboot-, new radio and some new /system)
Even now with german ROM I have a english-arabic dictionary (which I do not need nor installed)

Have you upgraded by :-
( Setting / about Phone / software updates / Check Now )
Or how you do a full new install ?

I had some trouble with the ota because I had another recovery - and so update messes system - so I had to reinstall and after that I did a normal ota update.

I think the OTA update is Region Specific and not worldwide

The Arabic keyboard is a big fail :\ it eats a lot of ram specially when u enable auto complete and suggestions.. anyone wants to use the Arabic keyboard it's better to turn of auto complete and suggestions

[Q] Xperia L won't update

Hi I am having problems trying to update my Xperia L I am on Build Number 15.0.A.1.31 so as you can see i was unable to receive the update of build number 15.0.A.1.36 or 15.0.A.2.17 I have tried updating Over The Air but the phone says I already Have latest updates installed also tried using PC Companion but that also says the phone has no new updates. I am in the UK and haven't received any updates from the day I took it out the box. The bootloader IS NOT UNLOCKED and the phone IS NOT ROOTED. Can anyone explain why I am having these problems and give me a solution to update my xperia?

probably the updates are not available. check the drivers.
solution is to flash any .17.ftf file via flashtool, i think it even works without unlock/root (heard of it... just try) or unlock and root if you cant wait

My PC companion was telling me the same but SEUS did the update...
Hope to work for you too...

Are you a Generic UK ? Phone bought outside the network ?
I have same story here, I bought generic phone free of sim-lock and other sh*t stuff from network provider and I haven't received any updates too.
But you can always change the customization number to CE 3/4/5 and then PCC will find update. I have done that and phone works perfectly well on 2.17 update.

I have a question ,if i flash the leatest .17 firmware using flashtool i lose the warranty? My phone is not from any service,it is bought from a shop.

as far as i know you don't.
The .ftf file is created from sonys official rom and so contains no malware at all. Sony would only control if you unlocked bootloader as you can only do damage to your phone by unlocking bl (like through overclocking) but i wouldnt give you guarantee about that...

Thanks everyone for your help. i have tried SUS but same problem. Yes i bought the phone off virgin mobile online however got it sim lock free and it is a generic UK. Can you please tell me how to change the customization number? I don't really want to root as I only got the Phone last week as mucked up my last htc by doing so. If the only safe way is to wait then i will do. Thanks everyone once again :good:

To change the customization number you need to root. But don't worry it isn't but. You won't bootlooped your phone. When you rooted you have to do PART A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355982 and after you done it just use apk called "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper" and deteled the root. Because phone won't update because of root. But if you really afraid of root flash a FTF without thick "wipe data" and the system will change and all your stuff will stay.

↑↑↑
and it will be very laggy till you deactivate the bloatwareapps

So basically he will have to root no matter what he will do. I think changing customization number would be easier. But that is my opinion.

[Q] other country rom on e8

Hello guys!
I am new to android world.I just bought this E8 from China and its the China Unicom version of E8 known as M8SW.There are many chinese apps on the phone and also it doesnt let me take cloud backup of the device as it asks for some chinese weibo account to sign in or create new account.The same phone has been launched in India and some other countries with the model code M8SD.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge,I am just curious can i flash indian or any other country rom like singapore on it which supports english as main default language.I dont wanna install custom rom on my phone and somehow wanna stay with stock rom but from some other country.
Also if i flash some other country rom on it would it be a problem with frquencies my current rom supports and frequencies what indian rom supports.i mean i dont want any hardware issue after i flash indian rom on to my e8.
After i flash indian rom would the ota updates happen or no.
Finally where I can get Indian stock rom for e8.
Thanks in advance.
Harman

Hello, i own also a HTC ONE E8 DUAL SIM (M8SW) with the China ROM on it. This ROM has not the Possibility to UPDATE the Android, is missing this Point in the options Menu. Could you tell me someone where ich can Download another Country ROM who works this OTA function?? Maybe INDIAN oder better another EUROPEAN version. SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP HERE?
THANKS

I would say you have to unlock bootloader (1), go s-off (2), change CID (3), flash international stock ROM and possibly lock the bootloader to get OTA updates. How it's done is explained in several threads here.
One of my own posts containing information on 1, 2 & 3:
I finaly managed to get dutch feeds in Blinkfeed.
What I did:
1. unlock the phone (see www.htcdev.com)
2. flash TWRP and rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-...luded-t2819571)
3. gain s-off (http://theroot.ninja/)
4. write Super CID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317536)
5. modify build.prop (you can find build.prop in "/system"). Set ro.product.locale.language=nl & ro.product.locale.region=NL (I found these records twice in build.prop and I changed both)
6. go to play store, remove Blinkfeed and then reinstall Blinkfeed.
I now have local news and/or feeds in dutch on my HTC One E8 (m8sw), you can probably get them in any language you like.

i just want to change the blinkfeed to hk or tw source..... any idea? ^_^

I'm pretty sure that you are still s-on then...
S-on prevents you from making changes to system.

any success?
Hello.. any success? I am also in same situation.. have M8SW, and need other country ROM.
So I can get local blinkfeed, and language support. Though I have changed language to English, some pop-ups still come in Chinese.. guess system related messages.. and default market is not google play, but gives option of either HTC market place /game center.. when I get reminders about app updates. So when I open Google play and then update apps from menu, it works fine.

it seems that it worked on my htc one e8 m8sw with lollypop

[Q] HELP E8 M8Sn back to 100% Stock

Hi guys,
I need your help!
I purchased this device with already installed TWRP and superSU.
In attached image you can see the actual situation:
This is my first Android device and therefore are not very skilled.
What is the best (and easiest) to restore it as it was originally?
Looking in the forum I found WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit, may be useful in my case?

My os is
1.05.401.1
Im m8sx user
Yours is 1.06.401.1
Try to flash my stock recovery so you can update your phone when OTA is available

But I think that if I can't recovery for my OS, it will be better to wait OTA update and use recovery.img
Hope OTA will arrive soon :fingers-crossed:

Try to flash recovery stock via fastboot, and unroot your device from supersu app. Bootloader lock/unlock is indifferent for ota update. You will need a stock rom with stock recovery and unroot device..

You can't if you aren't rooted
Enviado desde mi RMX1971

If my device is rooted, then does it just need to reflash from custom recovery with normal .zip rom file, is that true?

If you got the a15 update as zip file you can open it and edit the Meta-inf/google/android/updater-script file thus remove limitations set by Realmeme. Then you're good to go and flash it via twrp.

i want to downgrade from Realme UI back to Color O.S 6
Im using Realme 5 Pro - RMX1971EX_11_C.01 (Realne UI / Android 10)
Baseband - QV1P14,Q_V1P14
Kernel - 4.9.186
is it possible to downgrade using this firmware RMX1971EX_11_A.16 ?
Thanks so much

for now there's no fix because realmeui/a10 doesnt allow you to unlock bootloader, the only solution as of now is going to service center and ask them to downgrade for free. i also have the same problem

I would like to inform you with a step by step tutorial on the procedure for returning to a previous stock rom (OTA) release in REALME 5 PRO.
For example we would like from OTA
RMX1971EX_11_A.17 returns to previous OTA RMX1971EX_11_A.15
We look forward to your comments as soon as possible.
