[Q] Update for locked devices

Hey,
I got the 8X from Bell in Canada (same as AT&T in the US). Anyone knows when the update's going to be released?
Also, would unlocking my phone with an online service make my phone an international unlocked phone? Or would it still be a Bell phone but unlocked?

You should be more specific. Which update? What version do you have at the moment?
AFAIK the latest version currently is 8.0.10211.204.

It should make it an international unlocked phone. But note this is only a simlock, other lock types like interop-, root-, full-unlock are not yet made (if even possible) for windows phone 8. Only developer unlock is currently possible.
Also, be sure to be careful which site you use, others in the forum experienced difficulties: thread 2101075

Sorry about that, by update I did mean Portico, I'm still running 8.0.9903.10.
So by unlocking my phone, would it allow me to perform an OTA update?

Got my AT&T update today. So I would think that yours is coming soon. As far as unlocking your phone, I don't think that will make any difference as far as the update is concerned. The update will still come from Bell.
Yea, it doesnt matter whether its unlocked or not. The update still comes the same way

Android 10 on Retail US

Anyone know when/if Android 10 is coming to RETUS/Retail US? I'm on the XT1955-5 and this seems (from what I've seen) to be the most common model. I'm hoping that it will come soon because I like some of the newer features in Android 10, alongside the fact that the Settings will no longer burn my retinas. Thanks!
Unfortunately, there's no android 10 for retus yet... I'll let you know if i get any news about it
I'm in the USA but have retin. I've got the update and a June 1st patch for security already.
I have the June security update. Are you saying you got the Android 10 update via OTA?
retus & I got the June 1 security update but not 10.

I would do a custom ROM but I'm just sticking with official for now till Android 11 becomes old news.
Also because of the Google Safetynet stuff,
speaking of which, does anyone know if our device supports hardware-based safetynet?

I'm on stock retus june update and according to magisk, we have basic under the evaltype, not hardware-based.
Yeah! I think it'll be winter 2020 before US Carriers (T-Mo/Sprint/Metro) see Android 10.

Probably right. I guess there is a kind of work around to that by flashing certain imgs from another retail to retus. I haven't done it yet, but it sounds a lot like what happened a few yrs ago with my atrix hd and the razr hd. Atrix got left on 4.1.2, razr got 4.4.2, could flash some imgs from razr, without touching the bootloader, and i had moto's official 4.4.2 on my atrix. I believe its the same concept here with retus, but i haven't tried it yet.

Can you post a link to what you're describing? What parts of the ROM need to be flashed to go to Android 10?

See java-shin x kernel thread
Guess I'm lucky. I got the retin (India rom I guess) my phone updated to Android 10 about a month ago and I'm in Utah.
PSA: You can install the generic RETAIL firmware. It's much safer than flashing any region specific stuff.

Question I want to know the progress of g996u1 Android 12 update.

My Galaxy model number is SM-G996U1
Not in the US, use in Asia.
When will I receive the ONE UI 4.0 update?
G996U1 Galaxy already applied ONE UI 4.0 update?
Or do I still have to wait?
I apologize for my poor English.
Please kindly understand. I'm waiting for a reply. Good luck.
The update sucks. Don't update

Download the Update From the OnePlus Website, Make sure it's the version for your device model, use Local Update to flash ROM manually, if you're rooted flash magisk within the app after OTA has completed -Reboot..

Can you check the app in the playstore under Oxygen Updater. Report back if no update download...
You may have to switch to global firmware as far as I can tell T-Mobile hasn't released the OnePlus 9 android 12L update at all.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...to-recover-from-a-brick-windows-only.4460859/
READ ALL comments and OP before trying to do this.
P.s been using customs ROMs for about 10 years, any questions regarding flashing files is my go too. Feel free as I've mentioned a few times to ask me any questions through private message

This is the same version you got after reflashing via MSM tool for t-mobile. Your local vender turned off its updates via adb to protect the patch if you are from Pk

One UI 5 for the N986U1

Does anyone know when will the N986U1 receive one UI 5 update?
Should have gotten already in most of world. (source 9-5 Google)
I dont have it yet on mine either.
Same here for the u1, been looking around for any word on it. We should receive it when the U version receives 5.0
Yeah. Kinda sux.
I have a U model and I've gotten Android 13 and UI5. My wife has a U1 and she is still stuck on Android 12 and UI4.
I sure would like to know for sure if U1 models will ever get it!
It really sucks waiting so long while everyone else is getting that experience.
Hopefully, we will get it soon
I got it on my U1 finally.

Must not be too widely available, SamMobile doesn't have it available for download. The most recent firmware they have for the XAA Unlocked model is Android 12 on the November 2022 update.
I just registered just to comment that they just released the update with OneUi 5 after months of waiting for it (confirmed also in SamMobile for XAA)
Installing it right now on my cell phone
