Nexus 5.0 update been pulled?

Sup guys I got the 5.0 update notification about a week back. I didn't install waiting for some apps I use to be updated. Now that they have the update is gone and my phone says up to date on 4.4.4. I seen the 5.0.1 is coming soon. Did they pull it for 5.0.1?

No. They update people in batches or slots. If you ignore your slot, you have to wait for it to come around again

hi, if you are still interested in upgrading right now, you can always download the image from the official site:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
after downloading, all you need to do is get to bootloader mode (assuming you already unlocked bootloader), changed the flash-all script so it doesnt wipe everything off your phone (or skip userdata.img)
or use one of the many 1-click program available on xda
I am not waiting for OTA, heeeeellllll nooooooo!!!

T-Mobile LG V20 update

Just received this update, but it doesn't look like it is updating just yet, waiting until 11PST, but i am thinking this is 7.1.1. Has anyone else received this or is this old news?

It's new. Got this about an hour ago. Same....won't allow me to start it yet.
Good to see us finally getting an update. Took a while. Not sure if it's 7.1.1 or what. Glad to see the security patch getting current.
*Edit: I just turned off network time and time zone. Set it to Eastern time...And the update is now downloading No need to wait.

This is new, did not receive this update notification from OTA, but LG Bridge detects the update with the id as "H91810j". I did update to 10i on friday after getting the v20 recently, weird how I don't get OTA's though.

Anyway to update while rooted on TWRP?

Not yet. This seems to be new, as this update was not available on Friday, when I updated to 10i. Wait for Rom developers to update their Rom base to "10j" or wait for someone to make a flashable zip.

I would rather get a zip since I'm on stock. I tried flash fire, but it will not update.

It's still 7.0 and it includes the December security patch.
Other than that...Haven't noticed anything thing yet. Performance or otherwise. Who knows what that audio quality patch is. We'll maybe find out when Tmo updates the info on their site.

Where is the OTA located?

Will it be rootable?

Until I know the update is rootable I'm still staying on 10I.

Got a small update this morning. Had to manually change the time to 11pm for the download to initiate.
H91810j, still on Android 7.0
One thing I can say for sure about this update, is that the audio quality has been greatly improved.
Sent from my LG-H918

For those have already installed, may you post the pic of the information of the ROM version.
I'd like to see the date of the patch. If it's still December 1, it should be able to regain root using dirty cow method.
If not, we have to wait until somebody developed a flashable zip for TWRP.

it is indeed rootable as i just did it with dirty cow.
however do not do the ota update unless you are on stock 10i, which is easy to do. then take the update. and when it's done. use this to root it. instructions included and all needed files.
recowvery exploit files - again this contains everything you will need to gain root on a t-mobile h918 v20 on 10j firmware

Hey OvrDrive, what if i'm on stock "rooted" 10i already? Is it the same process or do i wait for a flashable zip?

you'll need to restore stock recovery and boot or it'll fail and bootloop to recovery. i had to fix mine by redoing 10i
it's not hard.
just use uppercut with the stock 10i kdz

ugh, so basically for root/TWRP 10i users, we have to backup data, flash 10i KDZ, update to 10j, restore backup?

Or you could put Ovrdrive's ROM on you phone when he bakes the updates into his ROM.

I just gathered the nerve to root this past sunday, i'm still recovering from the nervous breakdown I almost had while rooting. :crying: :laugh:

I'll stick with OvrDrives 10i custom rom and until he can update his rom.
But my question is...how in the hell do I get rid of the notification to update? I've already deleted the update file from "Root/Cache" folder but the notification persists even after a reboot. I do NOT want to hide the notification because it is tied to "Google Play Services" which means it'll block all things that have to do with that service.

Oreo update not coming?

InoHello everyone.
It has been a long time since my last post....
I bought my HTC U11 128GB/6GB last August and I find it awesome. Since the announcement of the Oreo update being rolled out, I became impatient to try it. I checked and checked for updates... but nothing. Right now it's running Android 7.1.1, SW version 1.27.400.21, with the October 2017 security patch.
How can I find if there are other updates that I didn't receive? How can I find my model number? How can I force the updates?
Info: My phone is already unlocked (it's the first thing that I did after receiving it).
Edit: with Simple CID Getter I found out that my CID is HTC__060. Is it the DUGL/India model? If yes then I guess that the Oreo update didn't arrive yet?
Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me.

I just did a backup. Downloading the first files to upgrade from 1.27.400.21 to 2.31.400.6 now. Do I have to flash all the files? OTA, recovery, boot and firmware? Or only the OTA zip is enough?
Edit:
I tried to install the OTA Zip with TWRP and it gives me an error message. I think I will wait until the official OTA arrives (hoping it doesn't take too long).

The wwe version has only just been updated so you'll probably get the update in a month or so once the carrier is happy with the release. My advice is to wait. Do not root and s-off for it.

I'm looking to the post, and (being S-OFF already) it says that I have to flash a Combined Full Wipe firmware and then the OTA. Does it mean that I will lose all my data?

You can try to connect through the VPN that allows to select server located in India.
Had exactly same problem as OP.
Solution with VPN worked for me. And phone updated to Software version 2.42.400.3

I used NordVPN. They have servers in India.
Update download was a bit slow though.

Thank you very much. It is downloading now. Slow but at least I will have it. Thank you again.

Downloaded the first time with VPN, tried to install it, but it didn't work (I had TWRP, and after reboot I got the message that the update was corrupted). I flashed the recovery from the Google Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...EYtQ_tRcOSJ0vWcvk8a7TK8Hk/edit#gid=2137120377
using:
Code:
adb reboot download
and then:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_1.27.400.21.img
I checked for updates and it asked me to download it again, no VPN needed. Downloaded it and tried to install it (much faster). Phone restarted, update started, and after a few seconds I saw a black screen with a red triangle.. it looks the same as when it's in recovery mode.... Had to restart the phone again.
I'm trying again to download it and I'll check better if I can see the error.
Edit: It goes fast from 1% to 24%, then it stops at 24% for about 19 seconds and then black screen with red triangle...
Any idea what the problem could be?

Sorry, don't think I can be of any help here. Have almost no experience with this sort of things.
In my case I did not do any tweaking with the original OS.
First tried to explore any possible option to get it "official" way.
My only guess would be to try to roll back to the original state and to have no trace of tweaking.

Yes, I will try to do a factory reset this weekend. If it's not working, I will try to follow the instructions on the other post to flash a RUU.
Edit: I did a factory reset, tried to update to Oreo, it still stopped at 24%. I flashed the latest RUU I could find on the spreadsheet, and then after 2 updates I'm finally on Oreo!!!

Official 8.0 Update coming from Bootleg 8.0?

So i am running 8.0 with the R16NW.N950USQU3CRAF Update, and i am having a hard time getting the OTA update that was recently launched. (changed dates to check for software updates and rebooted with no luck).
Will i need to downgrade back to Nougat in order to get the Official 8.0 update?

You won't get yesterday's OTA unless you are running the previously released AT&T OTA which is BRA8 I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong). So yes, flashing back to what people here are calling "stock" would allow you to get recent OTA.

I'm not the really the person to ask about that. I haven't flashed my note 8. I just waited and took the OTA. I've just been following the threads out of habit from flashing phones since the beginning of the galaxy line. Sorry I can't be of more help for you.

Jackman is correct (Although being on the newer 3BRB2 would be best)
Odin is going to be the ONLY way to get back to stock.
You can go HERE for links and such.
Even when the 3CRC1 Odin files become available, Odin will still be the only option to get back to stock

AT&T Note 8 firmware update help

Hi
I need some help in updating my AT&T US version of Note 8. I had bought in US and after unlocking it I gave it away to a family member who is using it in Asia now. Since the device it not in US anymore it is has stopped getting firmware updates. The last update was for May 2018 firmware. I want to manually update it to most recent firmware if possible. would be great if someone can help in this process by providing complete steps along with link for most recent firmware for ATT Note 8 device. I believe there have been multiple firmware releases since May 2018, would I have to install all of them prior to getting to most recent one?
Thanks for your help!

A little bit depends on what the current firmware is. Take a look HERE

Your best bet is to Odin to N950USQS5CRF6
then use the updates to get to 5CRIA.
I dont have access to the last OTA N950USQS5CRG9 right now so it's a little more complicated

I installed unlocked CRG9 on the device. Took few try's but it finally worked. After flashing it got an automatic update to CRH7 from Samsung.. You think it will get automatic updates going forward? I have no problem keeping the unlocked device firmware on this.
