Hello Everybody
I want to know one important thing in this Android update drama for non Nexus mobile phones.
Previously, people was speculating that only because of heavy skinning, non Nexus Mobile Phones takes long time to release updates.
It has been shown recently that updating mobile phone maker's skin for a new version of Android takes very less time.
The recent claim being Operator takes big chunk of time in testing the updates before it being released.
But, few months ago i learnt one important information from an XDA member.
I was looking to update my AT&T Google Nexus S mobile phone to Jellybean.
But the update was not available then for my mobile phone.
So, one of the fellow XDA member converted an OTA delivered update to be installed in all GSM variants of Samsung Google Nexus S.
I asked him wouldn't it cause any compatibility issues when i install an update meant for unlocked mobile phone.
He told me that the update won't update the Baseband and even Google's all OTA based updates won't update baseband.
In this case, what for Mobile Operators are testing the updates?
Why not football4pda or any similar rom developers release their latest roms without updating baseband ?

It is a general discussion thread, not exactly a question and answer thread.

Not sure why you would find this relevant to the One X. Do you own a One X also? Every manufacturer does things differently, and every phone is a bit different.
At least for the AT&T One X, every single OTA has included a new baseband radio.
Aside from baseband, the carrier may be testing other things, like general stability and whether their carrier customizations have been properly implemented. And yes, AT&T has an awful reputation for delaying release of updates due to "testing".

Custom ROMs are almost always designed to not affect the baseband radio. Often users will want to try different ROMs without changing the radio, since the best radio for reception is often geographically tied more than related to ROM compatibility.

There are two important differentiate facts between carrier branded phones and Google Nexus phones:
1. Phone manufacturers need to get Android source code. Customize it and include various drivers for its unique hardware and combine these into a ROM before it can be delivered to you. In the case of Nesus, Google does all that. But out side out Google, things are much more complicated. The Nesus ROM binaries means nothing to manufacuters. They need the source code released from Google. Android OS is not a set of binary that you can install on any Android phone directly. It is a set of source code that needs to be modified and compiled before they can be used on a phone. Hence it is called Opne Source project for a reason. Google hasn't figured out a way to push OS binaries directly to any Android phones other than its own Nexus phones.
2. Carrier branded phones mean carrier need to take care all the tech support and warranty services for 1-year. So, anytime you update anything on the phone, not just baseband, the carrier need to do extensive testing to make sure everything works ok so that customers won't freak out and send their phone back for service or flood the support phone lines, both of which means extra support $$$ for carrier.
Both of these means delays and delays.
Thank you so much for your detailed explanation.
Although I very well know that non nexus mobile phone manufacturers needs to prepare every new android release for their own products, I thought they could deliver updates faster if they skip baseband update process as I assumed mobile network operator needs to check for reception and battery life for every new android release only because of baseband update .

The biggest problem with update is bricking an otherwise working phone in the process. Samsung is the master of that It bricks a lot of phones on every other updates. So, carriers need to spend a lot of time testing different configurations to make sure it didn't happen. If a phone bricks, carrier needs to send out a replacement to customer for warranty service.That's a lot of money and hassle. That is also why AT&T don't want you have an unlocked boot loader because a lot of ppl brick their phone flashing a custom ROM. And most of them will call for warranty replacement when that happens even though it is purely their fault in the first place.
Hi guys.
I can see there are some threads with leaks of the rom or other country's releases but was hoping do get an OTA to install the Lollipop update.
I have read that apparently the UK has started to receive it not so long back but i have tried to request the update via the settings menu and also via Kies but it just says that it is up to date.
Any ideas when i should receive it or if any of the other zips in those other threads are complete and official and also okay to use for the UK?
My phone is the unlocked international version. It was originally from Three network but early on in it's life i grabbed an official zip from on here and installed it to remove the Three branding etc. It is unrooted.
i flashed the official firmware from sammobile its vodaone uk but i think they have made a mistake with it because its got german apps on it.
so i dont think there is one for the uk yet.
cheers mate.
thats what i didnt want, any sort of incorrect rom or even apps on it. seems odd that some info across the net state the UK as havcing started receiving it a while back but it still hasnt actually started to speed up with it's rollout

Same here. Have been expecting it since I heard Russia started getting it a number of weeks ago. Russia!
No OTA available to unlocked European phones - how can carriers be getting it before unlocked phones???
It really must be any day now here in the UK.

i got an ota lollipop update a few days ago on my n9005 but my sons phone says up to date on 4.4.2 (n9005 also)
melliwuk
i should mention that my update seems to be from vodafone (my network) not from samsung.
im going to flash the vodafone stock kitkat see if i get the update that way. ill let you know how i get on.
UPDATE:
so i flashed the vodafone stock kitkat didnt get no update because i was still on BTU csc so i changed the csc to VOD and checked for the update again and it was there. both in software update settings on the phone and in kies.
Its rubbish isn't it, I got bored waiting and flashed the stock Poland rom....once again the UK is at the back of the queue ...
whats with the delay for BTU for UK ?
are there carrier timed exclusives ? bit of a joke that we're what up to 3 weeks now ?
Yeah I'm getting impatient too, been checking every day only to get disappointed, and SamsungMobileUK twitter doesnt help by saying its "Top secret knowledge", why they wouldnt want customers to know a date is beyond me.
I would like to think it should be soon, but I have really no expectations for them anymore, I don't even know how carrier versions went up before the UK international version, I thought the international version would be up first no?
Still have the beta(?) lollipop rom on my Note 3, seems pretty fine for now, haven't noticed any breaking bugs really, but I am still eager for the final version (And espicially 5.0.1 to bring mute back, which will be an EVEN longer wait probably, unless the wait is because they're going straight to 5.0.1?)
Blame Vodafone. They paid money to get the exclusive Lollipop release .That's why it's only available to the Vodafone and daughter companies, and not the unbranded and other companies. They do that quite often.

Honestly? That's really crap if true. Pretty bad deal for Vodafone too imo. I haven't heard of any promoting from them they're the only ones offering lollipop for note 3 and I can't see people selling their note 3's and buying a new one from Vodafone for lollipop either. This type of deal just seems like screwing most owners off and making Vodafone owners feel happy buying from them. Helps Vodafone look better too as they may not have been first providing the update if there was no such deal.
Still nothing for me. I've been restarting my phone some mornings before going into settings and hitting the check for update.
I seem to remember before, a method of clearing the data of a Google app that reset the clock i think and it sometimes helped get an update sooner. I can't remember what app it was though.

none of that is true, its works of your csc code. BTU is unbranded, VOD is vodafone H3G is three O2U is o2 EE,EVR is ee and so on lol
so what ever you got on yor phone if its unbranded or on a network is when you get it.

That's pretty much the general idea with these deals, customer binding. Keep your customers happy by being able to tell them 'We're faster than everyone else. Look, they don't have Lollipop yet, and we do!'
They don't advertise with it because the decision came from HQ, but every country has its own marketing team. Most of the time the marketing team has no idea it was even done.
On top of that, people don't care enough to go to a provider because it got the firmware first (They'd all buy or flash Unbranded if they did), but they're exceptional good at whining about it when others get the update first and they don't have it yet.
(The T-Mobile forums are a nightmare right now. And they(Samsung) cancelled 5.0 for the S5 temporarily before rolling out a new one, making it even worse as the branded version is always spectacularly late.. "Why do they have the update? I can't download it, but my [neighbour, sibling, friend] has the same phone and same provider, and they have the update? Are you blocking me?"x500 *sigh*)
That's how marketing works, make people feel bad about other brands, and better about yours.
I know it sounds a bit... conspiracy theory-ish. But if you look at the list of released updates, it's pretty obvious.
The last one came out on 01 February 2015, so with luck we'll see the rest in a week or two. (My attempt at optimism isn't working, is it? ) Depending on how much they paid it's either 1 month or 3. (HTC once paid several million to Google to get the exclusive release for 3 months.)
Edit: Oh, hello!
March 6, 2015
Model SM-N9005
Model name GALAXY Note 3 LTE
Country Poland
Version Android 5.0
Changelist 3643614
Build date Wed, 25 Feb 2015 12:57:23 +0000
Product code XEO
PDA N9005XXUGBOB6
CSC N9005XEOGBOA4
On Sammobile! It's from today! (It's the second Poland version. That's promising, because the rest usually follows)
Your updates are all dependent on your Carrier / CSC.
Just think for a minute. Samsung have you by the short and curlies. If you go custom rom, they jump up and down saying that your warranty is invalid due to knox counter. Biggest pile of poop ever!
The carriers have you by the short and curlies because of this CSC junk. The carriers have you by them as well, because of the CSC's.
Why would any business want to upgrade you at the same time as releasing 'flagship' models. A carrier / manufacturer would want to shift more 'new' units rather than look after it's current, loyal, customer base. Samsung have released the N4, S6 and edge in a relatively short period of time. Considering their market share is falling, what would you rather do? Sell boatloads of new stuff, or encourage people to keep their older phone? Realisticaly, just HOW much better is the N4 or S6 than it's preceding model? The S6 doesn't even have the option of an SD card!! As I have said on other boards, how many times can you re-invent the wheel?? I turned down a note 4 upgrade because it didn't do things, noticeably, better than my N3.
As you are probably aware, loyalty is worth nothing to businesses these days. Who gets the best deals? New customers. Once the S6, edge and N4 sales slow down, the N3 will probably receive the Lollipop update.
If I were in your situation, I would download the Vodafone BTU or Polish XEO and use the app manager to freeze the apps you don't require. Lollipop is OK and it is very smooth, apart from the material design and WAY too much white, but as you are aware, you will end up with an updated bootloader. You need the updated bootloader etc or your camera will misbehave! I have the Vodafone BTU, Echoe Rom based rom and have no issues. I have also tried the stock Vodafone BTU and the Polish one and report no Issues. My wifes N3 is running the XEO, and it is rock solid. The polish rom only has a couple of polish apps that can be deleted without any worries. Best of all, they are official, and can be flashed via Odin without tripping Knox.
I also heard that Vodafone 'paid' to be first for 5.0. The reason vodafone probably did this is because they are now pushing sim only tarrifs and have an advertising campaign on the telly. O2 have also started the sim only push, but their updates are usually so late, people forget what phone they were for!! The Polish XEO usually get the updates pretty quick as there is an R&D department tied with samsung, and sim only is big over there.
Samsung are losing me.
I'm also not happy to wait so long. Checking every day and no luck. Very disappointed in Samsung. Sick of my buggy Kitkat firmware from them that can't remember default apps to save its life and having to constantly choose Chrome to view internet links.
Oh yes, they are good enough to update the 1 year old Note 3 and say that they will even update the Note 2 with Lollipop eventually, but who would want it, when Android M will be released right after, as they took so long.
Funny how LG and Motorola especially were able to be so quick to give their devices the Lollipop update.
My next phone won't be from Samsung.
I got bored of waiting for the UK release so this morning and have flashed recent Polish update, I'd advise you guys to do that same.
Doesn't trip knox, don't have to do a full wipe, English language maintained, very simple.

Been more and more tempted to do this, but wasn't sure if there would be a problem flashing it on a UK unbranded Note 3?
Also is there a way to back up data and restore it? I read helium could do it, but not sure how well it works. I just want to keep my game saves and etc.
Also there will be no problem flashing the UK version of lollipop when it eventually comes out?
I do have the beta version of lollipop already though. Not sure about the whole CSC thing either
I have the retail UK unbranded note 3, no problem at all flashing the Polish bob6 rom over it, just follow the simple steps on sam's firmware.
In terms of backing up I think you would need to root and use something like titanium, I didn't bother, as I said you don't need to wipe so all things like sms, game progress etc is not erased.
If you want to flash the UK version when it comes out I suspect there will be no problem at all to do so, I doubt I'll bother though, to all intents and purposes this behaves like the stock UK firmware would.
Just flashed it with the lollipop poland firmware before. Phone felt RED HOT after updating, ha ha. Seemed a little laggy after the first boot, but a restart seemed to fix all that.
It feels a little faster than previously actually, will see if the battery life is better on tuesday where the battery is put to the test really.
Good to see there doesnt seem to be any issues! Will flash to the UK version when samsung decide to release it...really bad these sort of exclusivity deals go on.
Hey guys,
I think that most of the people "assume" that the B360 is the official Nougat update. But is there any official communication or has anyone received the B360 through a normal OTA update (not through HiCare)?
I have the L04 model and haven't received anything yet, and I just wanna make sure that the B360 is not a BETA to 'Charles' my way to it.
Thanks for your answers.

I got the 360 update through the normal OTA update. Not through high care.
I was on the beta N program and am intouch with some body at Honor UK on Google+
I asked him if the 360 was a beta and he said no it was final !
As people who wasnt on the beta got the same update 360 I think we can say that it was the N update.
I would just wait to get yours OTA as it seems like some folk that have rooted Etc are having issues like rebooting etc
My phone is running very well on the 360.
Just wait you ain't missing no big deal

No mate I hadn't rooted my phone. Can't see the point, I have nothing that I really need the required root at the mo.
In the past I have always rooted my android phones soon as I got them but with this one I thought I would leave it as it is.
It's really worth thinking before you root your phone.
I must admit to having a nexus 5 which is of course rooted and has a different ROM running most days but then there are the custom ROMs to support it.
Perhaps that's why I'm finding it easier to leave my Honor 8 as it is

I got the 360 through a normal OTA as well. That too some three weeks ago. On L04.
I was not rooted, nor on beta. Rooted all my previous samsung galaxy phones.. somehow wanted to go with this one with out rooting and so far I'm really not missing anything.

Times are changing. I rooted every phone I had and there were a lot of them down to Motorola Defy. And I still believe it was justified, I'd do it again. The original Android was so cumbersome in the past and there were so many better solutions from devs that staying with original system was unreasonable. Not to mention disgusting bloatware. But now, we have AOSP which serves its purpose and EMUI 5 makes it even better in many aspects. And the new functionality appeared with Marshmallow enables disabling unwanted apps cutting them out of any influence to the system and memory.
Yes, 360 is likely EMUI 5, which is equal Android 7.0. But, since Chinese models have 368 already, I think that Huawei is going further as it promised. How far? To Andromeda?
If your phone is bricked, you imperatilevy need to have a SD Card. Put full update on it an install it trough dload method.
When mine was bricked, I didn't found any other way to unbrick it.
Hello, so I can update to B360 through HiCare but I don't know if I should wait until final EMUI 5 because they recommend wiping and then I think I will have to wipe my phone twice... Anybody know if I have to wipe it again when final EMUI 5 comes out if I upgrade to B360 and wipe now?
Hi
I updated to nougat but I have slow Wifi speed. On other android devices on my network I have 80 Mbits but on Honor 8 max is 45Mbits/s.
What are Your Wifi speeds after nougat update?
Best regards

Hello,
I posted a question in the official hihonor community:
https://community.hihonor.com/message/10155
It's still not clear that B360 is indeed the official version.
From the reply: "There is no[t] one latest version for the FRD-L09" (sic)
I can only assume that some phones will receive B360, while others might go directly to a newer build. At least there is a confirmation that all the phones (in the UK) will receive the Nougat update, "eventually".
This Honor 8 forum is getting filled with threads asking the same questions! Do people know that there is a search button? Do people know that having 10 threads talking about the same things just pushes "power users" away? it's impossible to follow all threads so it will be more difficult to get help from people who can really help....

I think you are a little bit confused, b368 is for Mate 8, not Honor 8! It doesn't mean that Honor 8 will receive a version with the same name or version that other devices have.

Hello,
I haven't seen another thread asking if the B360 is indeed the official Nougat version for Honor 8, or clarifying it.
Most of the other threads deal with either how to install it via the Charles method, the Firmware Finder app, and there are plenty of threads for bugs and/or bricked phones.
I believe that a thread where it shows the confusion regarding this, instead of jumping into updating with mixed results, has value towards making users understand the implications of possibly installing a "beta" or a "release candidate" on their phone, and may save them time. Burying this information under tons of other questions in a generic "EMUI 5.0 released for Honor 8" is not as helpful.
Not trying to argue with you, I understand that power users might find all different threads difficult to follow, but I don't think it would be any better if everything regarding EMUI 5.0 was consolidated under one single thread with dozens of messages.
In any case, maybe finally Honor representatives would jump in this thread and clarify whether it is the final one or not

I think the title of this thread Honor 8 Android 7.0 + EMUI 5 oficial released! is quite clear and if took some time to read the following posts you would find that was not necessary to create one more thread speaking about the same thing.
You would also find that not everyone has received or will receive the update at the same time, but eventually everybody will receive it.

I read your thread but I'm sorry to say that there is no mention of an official source that the B360 is official, it's all based on your speculations.
I, and many other users, wouldn't risk and force a BETA or an RC on our phone, thus I created a simple straight-forward thread to know if Honor has announced anything about it, since I haven't found anything.
Hello guys,
I was just wondering why it takes a long time between getting update information from alternative sources to getting them from the phone update service?
I realize that there is always a window of 6 weeks or more between finding an update on firmware finder or web sources and getting it from huawei.
Does it mean it is still in testing - is that why FF says a firmware is not approved for installation? Surprisingly, people use HWOTA8 method to successfully install and use it without problems.
This is the fifth week since 371 has been released for 636yet not approved. Though Huawei is not doing too badly, I'm tired of getting Google patches a month and a half late.... & of course, I want to try the face unlock
My theory is this.
1. Whilst the firmware is probably pre tested, there's still the risk of bugs. By releasing to a small group at a time it makes it easier for Huawei to limit damage as if anything does go wrong, a limited rollout means a limited number of potential warranty claims, customer service calls etc.
2. Huawei's update servers may not be able to cope with all handsets calling in for updates at the same time. A staggered rollout will alleviate this stress.

Hey guys,
I posted on the other threads but it seems like my concern shifts to be another.
First off: Yes I have tried switching regions with the tutorials. No nothing happened. I switched back to EuEx, no dualism because I don't need it.
Yes I tried every possible EU VPN Tunnel and updating OTA.
Nothing helped.
Now I have searched for my current Firmware, and there is no actual discussion about it. It is CPH2025_11_A.52 I am on the security Patch Level December 2020. So it came to my mind that it could actually be the firmware that prevents the updatingprocess. Is this possible?
With every other EU-Colleague of mine getting at least C59 with EuEX I'm starting to think it's just my phone.
Is there something I can do about it or do I have to wait for a flashable Android 11 zip? Which would ultimately leave me with selling the phone since I purchased it in regards to receiving an android 11 smartphone.
Thanks for reading in advance!
No problem with your version ,its just Oppo s way of doing things.I have cph 2025.11.A50 november security patch.
I reached them and they said i should take my unit to service ,i asked them why?its not broken !
Very wierd solution.
My phone works like a charm ,great performance ,good battery life ,so im happy with the software.
P.s bought phone from Switzerland.
@andreiselegean1984 @CaptainRage while it may not be broken on the hardware level there definitely seems to be something wrong with it, so sending it in is not that weird a solution imho. There surely is some sort of repair service in your country that acts as an official Oppo partner for warranty repairs, so why not just contact them and see if they can help by just flashing the newest software onto it and be done with it. The only hassle being that you'll have to do without it for a couples of days but maybe you still have one of your older phones that you can use instead for the time being...
Well Oppo doesn't seem to be cooperating that much:
We are sorry to know that you didn’t receive the ColorOS 11 update on your Find X2 Pro just yet.
In order to clarify this for you, please allow us to offer you a background explanation.
To make sure everything of the new version can run smoothly and reduce the unnecessary risk of the end-user, the ColorOS 11 update is released in batches. This is a protective measure used in global leave for all the new software versions.That’s why a certain amount of devices don’t receive the update on the announced date. But don’t worry! As your satisfaction is our priority, we at OPPO are doing our best to release the update for your phone as soon as possible. Rest assured that you will receive ColorOS 11 soon.
I appreciate your understanding and wish you a wonderful day!

This is just the usual BS the customer service gives you, forget about that. There have to be companies in your country that are official Oppo service partners which do all the repairs that are eligible for warranty. Contact one of them directly and tell them what the problem is and see if they accept it as a warranty repair.
