Hi all
A week ago a rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 device following this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
All was OK. At that point my device is using the Android Version: 5.0.2
The question I have is that now the version 5.1.1 (Lillipop) has been released, I would like to know if my rooted device can still be upgrading when the new version is released in my region (Mexico) by the phone provider. (Telcel). In case it cannot be updated automatically, I guess I will need to do it manually or unroot my device. In that scenario, Does someone know a good tutorial how to do that?
Regards!
@LesthadMK, sure you can update rooted devices. But it may not be possible via OTA update. You will have to download the full firmware and install it manually.
Because root makes changes to system partition, OTA fails when you have rooted. If you unroot and flash stock recovery and kernel back, then OTA may work. Otherwise, simply flash the full firmware, in .tar format using Odin software, and you're good.
It's good to have full firmware saved on PC anyway, as if in case you brick your device, you can fix it by installing your device's firmware manually.
If you need help with 5.1.1 firmware installation on your s6, let me know the build no. of your device.. I will guide you to page you need to look at.
Thanks for the help. I have download Odin in case I need to do it manually.
Also, mentioned that yesterday I read an article saying that using the Samsung software "Smart Switch" in an rooted device will upgrade the device to the newest version (which I don't know if it it's true or not) Any way this is the link I found:.... Well seems since I'm newby I cannot post some external links. So just google it as: How to Use Smart Switch to Update Your Galaxy S6—Even It's Rooted.
By other hand, this is the build number for my device: G920IDVU1AOE3, so if you can help me to know how to upgrade that version that would be very helpful

I have an HTC 8X (AT&T) still running Windows Phone 8.0 (8.0.10501.127) as it seems AT&T never pushed out 8.1/8.1.1 for it. How do I manually install 8.1 (or is it 8.1.1 ?) on this 8X?
I faced the same issue today
Bought 8X for collection and was unable to check OTA updates (looks that all servers all down). I recommend to try Windows Device Recovery Tool, it may suggest to install latest firmware.
Also, you can try to install firmware manually but it requires to have y-cable, device unbranding and creating goldcard. This is complicated process overall and may brick your device (since this device is not supported and ROM urls on old threads may be broken, I do not recommend you to do that)
Hi,
OTC will work when you look at this:
OTC Updater can't reach Microsoft Update Servers
I tried to flash a possible Update, but got this error - anybody knows what's going on here? OTC Updater download OtcUpdater 8.2.1.0 Waiting for next device. Please connect a device via USB. Press q to quit. Lumia 650(RM-1152_15637)...

Hello xda,
i'm going straight to the problem, i used to have my Huawei GR3 rooted but i decided that i wanted to receive official updates so i could try a specific app that starts with P and ends in GO, thing is, after i flashed my phone with the stock rom from the huawei official website my phone doesn't say it can't receive updates because the phone was modified anymore but won't receive them either, i'm stuck on TAG-L21C328B126, tried using the huawei firmware search app to download the most recent version of the TAG-L21C328 but when i try to update my phone with the most recent updates, the phone always gets a error saying that the package can't find the fingerprints and asks for L21C328B127 or L21C328B128.
Is there a way i can fix this ?
Error mentioned above:
"Package expects build fingerprint of huawei/tag-l21/hwtag-l6753:5.1/huaweitag1/c328b127:user/release-keys or huawei/tag-l21/hwtag-l6753:5.1/huaweitag-l21/c328b128:user/release-keys; this device has huawei/tag-l21/hwtag-l6753:5.1/huaweitag-l21/c328b126:"
PS: Is there a way to update the stock rom update.zip with the small ota updates manually on your computer ? i contacted huawei help center on my country, all they told me was that TAG-L21C440B139 is the last ota for my phone, and since i can't update via android, i was thinking if i could grab the stock rom and just update it with all the otas till it reach TAG-L21C440B139 on my computer.
Best Regards

If your device is rooted or if you have TWRP installed, you can't apply the update via OTA
If you want to update via OTA, you will have to unroot your device and undo any changes that you made to the system partition and you will have to replace TWRP with a copy of your stock recovery. Then you can apply the update. You will have to root and install TWRP again after the update is applied.
Or, you can manually download the update from the internet and then use a PC to manually flash via your device's compatible flashtool or via fastboot(whichever is intended to flash firmware on your device).

Good Morning Everyone,
@Droidriven, thanks for your kind response, but I did what you suggest, re-install Nougat Rom from Htc official link deliberately did not root it at first, click on the OTA & yet, got same complain.
I even tried 2.41.401.41--3.16.401.2_S-On_firmware.zip with it but doesn't still work.
But from my research, this is what I found out that works..
* The Phone (HTC 10) is Hong Kong Unlocked Version with build number 2.41.401.4, [email protected] as its base band.
the ROM that will work must share same details with the one provided above.
Anyone that has Oreo 8.0 (2.41.401.4) Update in RUU file format, should Please kindly share its download link with me, I regret the inconveniences, thanks in advance.

Hi,
After my S21+ updated to android 13, my phone often lost signal, did not receive messages and calls. I want to roll it back to android 10 but don't know how to do it.
I found a few tutorials to find the factory images and do flash-all using adb, but I don't know where I can find the factory images of the S21+.
Please guide me in detail if you can.
Sincerely thank you.
First you should unlock your bootloader from official source.
Then browse through incognito mode via any third party browser about official Android 10 rom package for your device.
Find your device manufacturers website from the results and download the package and update through default updater Or flash using official flash tool (recommended).
Remember rolling back or downgrade Android version can brick your device
Depending on how the device is programmed.
