Returning to stock

Hello, i am currently on pure nexus with the April update on tmobile (pixel xl). I have a few questions I'm hoping someone could answer before diving in. Which factory image do i use, 7.1.2 May N2G47T? I would like to be able to take ota updates after I'm done, i take it that this would now be possible then? Also, do i need to relock my bootloader to take ota updates. Thanks

No, that is the image for Deutsce Telekom. You want N2G47K. They are labeled on the full image page.
You do not need to relock to get ota's

Ok, but that is April's image, is there a May image i can use?

Hey there buddy,
Google's website for Factory and OTA includes images/releases from certain carriers. I live in Canada for example so version 7.1.0(I think?) has a release for my specific carrier, so whenever I factory reset, I use that one then relock my bootloader directly after. This leads me to receiving proper OTA everytime.
Other than finding your own carrier image, your best bet is using the standard build flash.
Always be careful with flashing and tinkering and best of luck! =]

Yes. There are three. Verizon, Dutch Telecom and everyone else. Tmobile is in the everyone else category so you are good with that one.

I myself am with Tmobile as well and still on N2G47E, April's Build.
I didn't upgrade to May's build because I read there was an issue with TWRPRC1/RC2 or SU with the bootloader on May
I was wondering if this issue has been solved? Is there another zip I need to flash as well?
So far I have been sticking with Stock Rom, but I root with SU and use elemental X kernal with TWRP. thanks!

Another January update?

I just received a notification in my status bar for an update. The thing is, I've already applied the January update earlier this month. Anybody else getting this? Just curious why my phone thinks it needs to update...? I'm bootloader unlocked, twrp installed, Magisk 15.3 rooted and have the latest Flash kernel installed.

Yup. I just got the same thing. Any idea what it is?

I bought mine from Verizon and got it today too. I flashed stock back to take the OTA but it failed a few times. I was thinking it was a patched bootloader since they didn't do that with the January update. But apparently not if yours is from Google. There were some random lockscreen touch issues reported. It could possibly be a fix for that.

Sure hope it's not to lock the bootloader. My Verizon pixel 2 comes tomorrow and I want to unlock and root. I doubt it's preloaded already. Can anyone confirm you can unlock the bootloader with the new update?

I don't think it has anything to do with Verizon. I'm on T-mobile and got the 2nd update today as well.

Verizon doesn't push the updates. It is linked to your IMEI and pushed by Google.

Just got notified myself... Google phone on Verizon

Got it installed, new build number OPM2.171019.016. Maybe a bug fix release. I'm at work or I'd check it out more. It installed just fine though on non-Verizon Pixel 2.

just got the notification and thought I was going crazy since I just sideloaded jan 5th update yestreday

My wife's phone got it, however mine has not. Both are Google play store phone, on Verizon.

i don't see anything on google's website for sideloads.

It's probably for Spectre/meltdown patches/fixes.

Android Oreo comfirmed

As I mentioned earlier we will get oreo and they will skip 7.1.1.
https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates

Very cool! Looking forward to it! :good:

I'm expecting the bootloader will be anti rollback but hopefully some kind of method is found so root and custom ROMs can still be done with Oreo on the H918.

Yep I would for sure make a flashable if the files are the same

As long as att releases Oreo. If not this version can be ported to support the other variants. If a dev is up to it. Hopefully. Then the v20 can also receive lineage 15.1
Edit: sent an email to LG inquiring about a possible att oreo software update. Basically said they had no plans in the immediate future and to contact att about it instead

I will port Oreo to the H910 if AT&T doesn't release it. I can't do it for other models since I don't own them. Well, I will TRY, but it is hard if you don't have a device to test on....
I know I can *PROBABLY* do it for the H915, H910PR, the VS995, and the LS997

Sorry to say that but LG has a very lazy software development team

Cool. What about H990N (Hong Kong)?

Not sure they, however, did say the V20 will receive the update so you could assume they mean all the variants.

Maybe they accidentally leave a loop hold in the oreo version. I mean we pay for the device why lock us in. I mean if you have the warranty it's up to you to root and lose it but if you are already out of it then they should just let you do what you want but if anything happens it just on you.

[Snapdragon]New OREO Leak w/ March Security Patch Build ARC6

Close thread

Is this a downgrade? Bc my screenshot is from just now and it's the unlocked us variant running the same build it shipped with but has had an update waiting to be installed for about a week. And my number Is higher than yours.

BEWARE!! Thats a new boot loader... v2! you wont be able to do a full factory restore until a v2 bootloader odin file is released.
That being said, how do you like it? any differences?

You will probably be waiting quite awhile.... As I stated in my thread, little to NO devs are working on root for the s9/+... I've seen one Korean user mention he was trying in another forum for us SD users, and ONE other guy... That's it, just 2 people and myself. Don't expect anything before Christmas.

The only member (SAMFail creaters) i know working on ROOT doesnt have the device but has a tester... Its gonna be a while...

Dude, dont post these. I roasted you enough on reddit. The basics, these are bad updates to use unless I can verify them before. Bl updates are dangerous. Also just dont use them dude, the website could be shut down any day because of people like you.

Why are these bad updates?
These updates from sam firm science allowed a lot of us to get onto oreo beta. If you know how to recover your phone why is this a problem. OP explained the risk with the bootloader.

Because NEVER do bl updates. Btw check my post history, I did Note8 Oreo. Also I work with the dude who makes the site. I know this stuff. That's why I am saying it's a bad idea.

Actually, cancel that, he is no longer trying root methods SAMFail has been PATCHED! So, it gonna be even longer until ROOT....

I may just go to international S9+ if there root seems like a false hope on the SD variant. The only issue would be VoLTE and WiFi calling, oh and Samsung suddenly restricting call recording apps on international variant. I tried flashing those Engboot from other thread with no luck btw.

OTA upgrade to 9.5.7 - T Mobile?

I don't have any version of the device yet, but I'm close to pulling the trigger.
But before I do, I just wanted to check.... Will the T Mobile version of the device receive the OTA updates, like this latest v9.5.7, along with non-carrier locked devices, or will there be a delay while TM puts together their own update?

usually all carrier locked devices take longer since the carrier wants their stuff in there

TMobile is always behind.

Well I'm only in 9.5.6 and that update just moved me from being 2 months behind on security updates to one month behind. Still waiting for camera update and I had to use a calibration trick just so I could fix the DTTW feature on this device. Honestly, as much as I like this phone, if you can avoid getting it through TMobile, I would recommend you do so. They will always be behind in the latest updates. That is the main reason why all my previous devices were unlocked Pixel/Nexus devices (minus a few outlier devices). I wanted to try something new and within 3 what realized why I moved away from carrier branded devices.

can someone explain the versioning to me? I bought my op7pro from OnePlus but I'm only on OS 9.5.4 with no updates available. How are other people getting 9.5.7 already?

Not sure; could be where you are on the map. OnePlus usually has incremental updates. There's always Oxygen Updater from the Google Play store. That will allow you to download 9.5.7 and install it locally as opposed to OTA.

@klym.software Since you purchased your device through OnePlus directly, you have the unlocked version which is on the 9.5.4 latest update. You have the camera fix and the DDTW fix. Those of us who purchased the device through Tmobile came with the 9.5.5 version, and were updated to 9.5.6. All that update did was move us from the April 2019 security update to May 2019. We are still not in June and probably won't be for awhile. We also still do not have the camera update fixes even though the unlocked OnePlus devices received the update 2 weeks ago. I hope this better explains the difference in version numbers.

You might want to check again. The T-Mobile 9.5.6 update was basically the April security patches not May, 9.5.7 for the unlocked version doesn't even have the May security patches yet.

T-Mobile gets OTA 2 months after the security patch in international which usually gets them only one month delayed. I'm running 9.5.7 international and have April 1 security patch level. Since it's not a pixel, you have to wait for them to add oxygen stuff and test before releasing an OTA.

This reply to everyone else as well..
Oneplus 7 Pro is able to become unbranded and unlocked "quite easily", so if you need the financing plan stuff you get via T-Mobile, or anyone for that matter, it won't hurt too much. There's a thread around here to get permantely sim-unlocked with not too much wait and it worked for me. (Usually you have to wait 40 days and fully pay off phone for sim unlock). Then, there's the conversion to international OOS, which is a MUST. If the guide is too complicated, perhaps I could explain. After the conversion, you can simply unlock bootloader with "adb fastboot oem unlock" .
