I'm a newbie, semi technical. My wie has a Samsung Galaxy S4 GPE. It automatically updated three times when I turned it on, and left her with Android kitkat. It updated without asking me. Now she has a phone with no access to her SD card. This is a problem. I read elsewhere there is no way to go back to an earlier edition of Android. I have read online that android 5.0 fixes this issue, but I'd like to confirm that before I try and update. I've also read those reviewers articles form Dec 2014 that breathlessly say that Android 5 is here, its here its finally here. Other articles say its not. I can't find anything from Android or Google or Samsung that says anything either way. So I'm totally confused.
I've tried to update the software on the phone but it says the software is up to date. I tried contacting t-mobile, but found nothing. Tmobile customer service said they had nothing to do with the upgrade. I cannot find a way to contact either google or android by email, and samsung did not answer my email. (I found no way to contact them by phone). I did download a zip file to my computer that supposedly has Android 5.0, but I don't know how to make the update. I have not found any instructions anywhere on the internet. Is it safe if I learn how to install it? Is there an official version of Android that will work on this phone? Where does it come from- Samsung, Android or Google?
Did those three updates come from Android, Samsung, Google or her carrier (T-mobile)? Can someone here a) explain to me who pushes android updates to a phone? and b) point me to where I can learn how to update her phone? Or c) tell me if (and) how I can go back to the original android version? (online forums are split on the issues: yes you can, no you can't; do it by a factory reset, no that cannot possibly work, etc etc.
The phone is still under warranty and I don't want to root it. (I don't know how anyway.) It already was unlocked when she bought it.
If anyone here can offer any help, I would appreciate it .
Thanks.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. If you have a gpe version of the $4 you should be able to flash the firmware using Odin. You can find the stock Rom at Samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. For further information see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4. The gpe is the i9505

HELLO, GOOD EVENING, FORUM:
I hope someone can help me in this.
I bought this phone HUAWEI GR3 TAG-L13 TELCEL branded from my country, México, in a monthly plan, which I think is engaging.
It seems to me an excellent device, of course, with some deficiencies, but in attempting to root with SuperSu I left it in an eternal bootloop.
Tried, unsuccessfully, remove it from that state by several methods. I looked up, like many other users, as I saw on Google, tirelessly for many days without getting any method...
The official website of Huawei does not offer any firmware for this device in the country and telephone carrier; there is simply NO official firmware for it!, only the OPEN SOURCE, on which is must compile the firmware, knowledge that the user basic not have about the topic. As a result it is impossible to reinstall the operating system specific for this device, not until Huawei releases compiled firmware (UPDATE.APP, UPDATE.ZIP).
In the end, I resorted to the method described in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...oy-5s-t3433527
This method really works, I have recovered my device and operate, although under the operating system of the carrier TIM (the only download found, as explained in the post mentioned, but is for the specific device TAG-L22, being my own TAG-L13 device operated by Telcel); However, I am determined to fully restore my device to use the functions [IMEI and SIM non-operating loss] and [plan] benefits of my carrier.
I have not resorted to my carrier's Service Center for obvious reasons.
So I come to this forum, of which I hope to get some help, this consisting of that any user of this service have the same device in Mexico and have make a back or attempt to successfully backup your operating system HUAWEI GR3 (TAG-L13) (TELCEL MEXICO - C17B103) ANDROID 5.1, EMUI3.1 [which must be and it has left the factory, i.e. without modifications, or make a previously hard reset], It is required to install recovery Team Win Recovery Project, TWRP, (explained in the same post linked above) and make a TWRP backup or the method Online Nandroid.
NOTE:
If you want to ROOT the device, BE CAREFUL:
SuperSu caused the problem of bootloop on my device, by that, alternatively, install the root of KingRoot_4.9.6_APKTrunk.apk to the device if necessary, or find any other method in Google, and must BE CAREFUL with this part, to avoid the dreaded bug bootloop. For this reason I RECOMMEND STRONGLY to TWRP INSTALL and perform the corresponding BACKUP BEFORE performing any other operation on the device, if is arrived at require reinstalling the same for any problems, included this bootloop.
The objective of this request is that user who has made or makes the suggested backup or have full operating system intact to raise that much-needed support from the operating system to this forum to do the recovery of my device.
I have found these ways to create a file update.zip to flash the operating system suitable to my device; therefore I require this endorsement, which motivates me to write this request to the Forum, waiting for any possible help.
I am infinitely grateful first attention to this request, and of course, the positive response to it; and reward to the possible favorable support of Forum, I commit myself to upload it this .zip file with the corresponding guidelines or referrals for help from someone who had the same problem.
Thank you sincerely.
.D.: Have uploaded or will upload this request to others forums in hopes of a prompt solution. I offer an apology for my bad English.
Hi
I'm from Mexico too and have the same problem with same model and carrier TAG-L13 Telcel ... I can't found rom and even try 2 or 3"custom roms" like that thread TIM image .... with that the device works but there's no signal ( No sim detected and no Imei info )
I think maybe if install xposed and change IMEI maybe carrier would recognize it but not ....
I'll continue searching and wait to respond from forum member's too
I really hope someone can help us
Note:Even tried to ask Huawei's service and the only answer they gave me was " Send it to Service Center , wait 1 month or more and of course we will charge you "
P.D. Sorry for my bad english too XD
Regards

I spend the same friend and I could finally solve the original rom Telcel, everything works 100% I leave the link of the official website, I hope you serve like me. The recovery process is from the stock if your computer does not start or follow the instructions in the PDF that comes in the folder that is generated when you unzip the file, greetings.

Hello,
I've been getting notifications that my phone has downloaded the G900PVPU3CPJ2 G900PSPT3CPJ2 firmware for over a month now. I'm rooted, so my phone won't take the OTA update, even if I un-root. It's usually not a problem because I'll download the firmware from a site like sammobile and flash it with odin. The problem is that none of the usual sites have the firmware yet, except for some saudi-arabian site that requires payment. In the past, multiple sites would have had it by now. I'm not sure what the difference is now.
Is there anyway to copy the downloaded update files from my phone to my computer, and flash them with Odin? If so, what are the file names, and where would they be located? Any other solutions for this problem?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
there is even another update after that, G900PVPS3CPK1 with November security patch. Nowhere to be found as well.
try the file in this forum. check the last post by lauyoh: http://zona-experta2017.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=182. i think the AP file is what you will need.
i'm not sure if it is for spr, bst, vmu, or xas like it is listed in sammobile, and i don't know if it matters.
full stock G900PVPS3CPK1 is now avaliable online
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900P/
Finally... thanks for the heads up!
I just upgraded two ATT LG V10 to H90022b released on 10/12/2017.
I thought it's just security patch but somehow I feel both get snappier.
And power seems improved a little bit. But I am not sure... maybe it's because it reinstalled all apps during upgrading ?
anyone has any issue or any improvement after upgrading to H90022b ?
ajutama si pe mine te rog frumos cu ultimul firmware lg h900
---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------
am probleme de securitate dupa update android 6 pe lg h900
am nevoe de firmware ATT LG V10 la H90022b si nu stiu de unde sa downlandez
poate daca fac update la lg h900 cu H90022b mi se va rezolva problema
Have 2-week-old Lg v10 H900, new, unlocked. It would not upgrade with LG Bridge or OTA, saying "device may be rooted". So went online and found Marshmallow KDZ file and uploaded to phone. It shows the Marshmallow is up but now I get errors like "com.android.settings has stopped", "LG VPN has stopped", and "lock screen settings has stopped". I cannot configure/initiate fingerprint scanner, and device reboots when I uninstall an app.
I have cleared all caches and reset to factory (recommended by LG tech help...waiting for additional solutions from them), all to no avail.
Any ideas??
I have the same problem I am facing the same error in setting app if you fix these
If you fix these error please help me out
can someone with this update share it please as some of are not getting the update ota.
wow, it's been a year.. not solution yet? i wish i had this read these threads before updating to MM ...
Me too..
Wish someone with H90022b is generous enough to extract the partitions of the device so we can flash it using Qfill. As long as I have the device, I promise to do my best to provide the other files such as the loader and xml files.
I dont really understand the purpose of these partitions, so we need all except modemst1 modemst2 fsg (where imei is stored), cache, and of course no userdata. The total size will be around 4GB but will be around 2GB compressed.
No harm but will help a lot for many of us.
If anybody wants to help but not sure what to do, feel free to contact me.
Thank you!

Problem with extracting partitions once on 22b would probably require root (at least for methods that I know of, such as Wanam's 'Partitions Backup & Restore'. Besides, most users who rooted it on lollipop never upgraded the software, users who would have 22b installed can't achieve root, and developers who could really help with this have already moved on. I just bought the AT&T version of this phone to use with the $10 Unreal Mobile unlimited monthly plan and realized that there is no root after MM update. I could live without root but I am also stuck with outdated 21z.

Fortunately there's another way.
We have to get the phone to Qualcomm 9008 mode.
There are 2 safe way to do it, I said safe because I did both a thousand times (hyperbolic, lol) without any problem or effect to the phone if it just "reading/extracting".
The 1st way is to connect 2 points on the board while connecting the usb cable to the computer. Of course the board need to be taken out from the phone.
I understand if the 1st way may not comfortable enough for some, then the 2nd way is using a deep flash cable, which is an easy mod to a spare usb cable.
If I have a 21z or 22b device, I can create these files in less than an hour and potentially help many 90021w user.
Both may not an easy thing to do. So will be great if anyone willing to lend a hand.

Hello,
Thank you for your efforts. Sorry I was a bit busy these days.
Initially I'm trying to get my luck by googling up what I see on your screenshots, but no luck.
Now I'm still trying to get a script to copy the phone's partitions. Seems like will taking a while.
I'll let you know if it's ready, hopefully won't be long.
Thank you again!

You welcome. I also tried to download a kdz for my firmware by using LG Bridge's 'update error recovery' option but it gives me error that "Your phone information cannot be checked. For more information, contact LG customer service". But if i use just 'Software Update' it tells me that I can update to latest version "V21W_00" through update center settings in my phone. I think that LG Bridge database only have up to V21W as the latest OS for LG H900 and it doesn't recognize that my phone has more updated version, so even if someone had Nougat they got OTA, they wouldn't be able to use LG Bridge or PC Suite to help us this way.
I am just tired of this phone and gonna sell it and buy a T-Mobile version. Good luck to you, hope you find a way to upgrade software on your phone.

I read somewhere that after 21w, at&t keep the firmware on their server, maybe that's why the only way to update is through OTA.
When will you sell the phone approximately? I may finish the script before it..
Maybe it will change something if we get the H90022b .. i'm little skeptical though. Because our issues with H900 MM started because we Flashed a H900 ROM over a H901 or VS990 board. the way i see it, even if AT&T releases Nougat, we still gonna have issues, even worse.. we kinda screwed..
i've been thinking, maybe the H90021w was somehow corrupted or missing some files...
Also, i've been reading some threads, people talking about reflashing the correct ROM, either a H901 or VS990 ... but i'm not ready to dry that considering none has done that succesfully..
For me, the solution would be find a solution to go back to Lolipop... at least it no issues. outdated maybe, but everuthing was working fine on my phone.
https://cdn-cf-3.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/cool.gif
Going back to Lollipop is not possible because of antirollback. And I dont think if there's anybody ever found code board H900 on the pcb. Eventhough it seems not right but vs990 is the correct pcb board, it just the bad firmware (v21w). And there's no KDZ or TOT newer than v21w around as far as I know.
I think I found the solution, but I need a volunteer with v21z or v22b firmware on his phone

Hello everyone,
Newbie posting here after several fruitless attempts to find what i'm looking for.
My granddaughter has now taken ownership of my old Galaxy Note 4 (SM-910F), Uk , unlocked model. Recently, after the Android 6.0.1 update that has been applied, her phone now randomly switches itself off, often during a telephone call. I have had a brief look and now it will not complete a proper boot and is stuck in boot mode. I have cleared the cache and performed a full factory reset, but to no avail. My next port of call is to root it with a stock version of the earlier 5.1.1 firmware, but i cannot find a uk copy anywhere. I have registered on SamMobile, but every time i select the phone and the firmware, i'm taken to a download page where i have to pay a monthly subscription to get the software.
Is there anywhere i can get the firmware for free, as if this fails, then the phone is rendered useless.
Any thoughts or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Lee.

I’m pretty certain there’s no charge, in fact it’s free but the downloads a bit slower. You will need Odin as well as the firmware too.
