then can i install any samsung apps belonging to ICS Os?

Probably. It can't hurt to try. I've heard some of the clones don't even use the proper OS - so who knows.
One benefit, I suppose, is if you can get an SD card and install apps on that (since it wouldn't have the issue that the real Samsung phones do, perhaps) since you don't likely have much for internal storage.

Nokia 6 [TA-1021] October 2017 Update OTA Direct Link

Greetings!
This is the official link of the update zip file straight from Google/HMD's servers :
Official Oct. 2017 Update ZIP (664MB)
Additional Info
Android Version : 7.1.2
Build Number : 00WW_3_700
Linux Kernel Version : 3.18.31_perf
Patch Level : October 1, 2017
Don't use ADB Sideload, put it in a SD card and update it from there by going to "Recovery Mode > update from sd card".
Update only if you already have the September 2017 update installed. This is not guaranteed to run on older updates. Also, this is only tested for Southeast Asian region. probably it might work on other regions but don't take my word on it.
DISCLAIMER : I'm not responsible in case you brick your phone by doing this procedure. This device doesn't have so much support from here yet so tread the waters carefully.

Thanks. Can you see any other nokia 6 models on the download servers? ie TA-1033

Unfortunately I can't since i don't own those variants

Thanks a lot for sharing! Android 7.1.2? Which build number precisely?

Thanks for the reminder! I updated the post!

Please share how?

Intercepted checkin request with mitmproxy, modified carrier MCC/MNC in the request's body, and replayed forged request. Better to use big European carriers like O2.

Another November update for Nokia-6. Build number bumped up though security patch level is the same 6 Nov 2017. Direct download link for TA-1021

@Querty
That update broke the phone I will have to go to the service center again to get the software updated

Updates are not cumulative. You have to install one by one. 00WW_3_72A should be installed on top of 00WW_3_700_SP01 released in the beginning of Nov. What's your Nokia 6 model?

Btw you can fix the phone yourself, just follow instructions in https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/development/nokia-6-official-firmware-mena-region-t3664441. This topic contains links to OST tool and firmware images. Reflashing your phone will roll it back to Android 7.1.1 and June patch, after that you can download and install OTA updates one by one.

Sorry I've already updated my phone. Next time I'll get ddl for the both models. You can install TA-1021 update on TA-1025 and vice verse, they are compatible. I installed the latest TA-1021 on my TA-1025 because did not want to wait until it's approved for TA-1025.

Sweet as, thanks for the heads up @qwertysmerty
So good so far, TA-1021 update working on TA-1025 for the past 8 hours without problem. :victory:

honor kiw-l21 official android update

I have a honor kiw-l21 phone it has build kiw-l21c432b350 on emui 4.0 android 6.0.1. the thing is i need to update the version of android, since my banking app no longer supports android versions lower than 7. i have searched your site for a version of android that is 7 or grater. is there an official version to meet my requirement. I noticed that there is is a develeper version called lineageOS 17.1 is that my only solution or is there an official one i can use.

Updates get automatically rolled out by OEM/carrier if they consider it necessary.
What you mean is to upgrade your existing Android. This is never done by OEM/carrier.
IMO to upgrade to Android version 7 or higher you have to flash a corresponding Custom ROM like LineageOS.
But I may err, as always ...

You need to use test point method that needs opening your phone's back cover and that is kinda a pain for noobs. Need some research on your phone.

Cheers, I was hoping that Honor/huawei might have brought a newer version of EMUI out, I did update it when EMUI 4 came out, that update was from android 5 to 6.

Can I upgrade Samsung Galaxy Grand QuattroI8552 from 4.1.2 to lattest android?

Greetings!
It has been more than 7 years since I used Odin to re-install android 4.1.2 to my Samsung GT I8552 phone (I have ever since moved on to iPhone) By then android 4.1.2 was the latest. Now that time has changed and tech has grown, Can I do a clean installation of the LATEST android version (I checked and there is 6 and even 8++??) to this same old phone? Is Odin still the way to go? Please guide.
PS: I checked this link and it shows that the latest update was in 2015 and the latest version is still 4.1.2? I'm not clear what it means to this old model.
Thank you.

Update and Upgrade are 2 totally different things:
Update patches an existing Android version
Upgrade replaces an existing Android version by a higher versioned one

Look inside here to find out what are the minumun hardware requirements for an Android version and compare them to your phone:
What are the minimum hardware specifications for Android?
As per the title, what hardware do I need to be able to run various versions of Android?

You are right. And, I meant to say "upgrade"

Huawei Honor 6x update to Android 10

I would like to update my Huawei Honor 6x to Android 10 but from the updates I don't have any recent available just the current version which is Android 7 that is not compatible with many apps

In order to upgrade your mobile phone system to the latest version, you may try to download & install the official Android Smart Device Manager tool, HiSuite, from the Huawei website. Hope it will be helpful for your Honor 6x.

Can I update from hisuite using a laptop ?

What you want to achieve is to UPGRADE the existing Android OS what can't be done by means of Hisuite tool.

Yes to update to Android version 10
From settings and system update I get no update available.

You are highly recommended to carefully read posts: Update is a patch to an existing OS, upgrade is a replacement of an existing OS with a newer version.
