Question Factory Image Reflash of Pixel 7a. which Build to choose? - Google Pixel 7a

Please can anyone confirm what is the current indian variant build no version of Pixel 7a? I want to flash the factory images of Pixel 7a as I'm getting very much battery drain issue but I'm confused which build should i download for India. There are 4 builds available in Google Developer.
Thank you in advance

I believe, unlike Samsung, Google is releasing the same firmware build for all regions, except if you bought your phone from a carrier. I would recommend you download the latest build, which was released in May 2023.
Here is the latest build
13.0.0 (TQ2B.230505.005.A1, May 2023)
Also, If you try to use Android flash tool, which is an online tool, it will automatically give you the latest build for your device. If you don't know, here is the tutorial on how to use flash tool.

Thank you so much

Upgrading build NDE63N -> NMF26O question.

Couldn't find the answer anywhere, been digging for awhile. I'm currently running NDE63N, which I believe is a Verizon pixel model. 2 questions:
1. is the hardware the same for the Verizon version of the pixel and the general unlocked version of the pixel? I ask this wondering if I can install any sailfish OTA update/factory image to my device?
2. can I directly upgrade from build NDE63N to NMF26O using the OTA file from here? https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Thanks ahead of time for helping out, very grateful for any advice given.

You should be fine. Google released a unified build this time, so there should be no issues.
You should also be able to update from an older build because the OTAs on Google's site are larger than the build to build (eg., NDE63U to NDE63V) ota zips.
Worst case scenario, the OTA is not compatible and it will refuse to install through sideload. You can then just reboot the phone and use it as it was.

LG Q6+, looking for the proper stock ROM

I have an LG Q6+, M700AN. It's the version we have in Russia. Not sure about other countries that have the same ROM index.
Currently the Android version is 7.1.1 with the security update of September 1st, 2017.
I know that European ROMs receive regular updates and even Android version upgrades, but not the AN version.
So I started looking for other ROM versions and found this site (lg-firmwares com) with a lot of firmwares for M700.
So I'd like to know what would be the proper ROM index for the Q6+ dual-sim with NFC support, so I won't brick my phone.

Cool! And just to be clear, do you have a 64GB dual-sim with NFC?
Sorry, i thought you were meaning custom ROMs.
Ok, so I found out that the M700AN hardware is pretty similar to M700DSN.
I flashed the most recent firmware dated February 2018 and it's working fine.
Does anybody here own M700DSN and could check this link?
Code:
csmg.lgmobile.com 9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
There should be ":" between "com" and "9002"
You'll need to type in your IMEI after the equals sign.
Using my IMEI for the M700AN model that is being sold on the CIS market, I get nothing. It's just rubbish.
Maybe M700DSN could give a more verbose result. There should be a link to the latest firmware,
In case it's there, then there's a chance of keeping M700AN up to date using M700DSN updates.

The Firmwares are located on the LG Website and IMEI is not required to Download the firmware files as far i know.
I have M700DSK and the latest FW is 16FEB2018 on 1 Jan 2018 Patch so i dont think that more recent software is available
Can the FW be flashed on Diffrent Varient Without Unlocking the Bootloader (Using LG Suite) ..?

Yeah, you can flash a different region rom without any fuss using Uppercut and LGUP.

How do I flash Global stock Rom onto a Chinese edition OnePlus 8T.

Hi all,
I'm thinking of purchasing a OnePlus 8T Chinese edition here in the UAE as it is much cheaper. However, I'm concerned with whether the software will be the same as the international units. Hence I want to update to the latest non-Chinese edition. I believe the Chinese editions come with HydrogenOS which I don't want. My question is will I be able to update my phone to the latest version of Oxygen OS if I buy the phone? If yes, could you please tell me how? I know I have to find the stock ROM for a different region and flash the device. But I've searched everywhere I could think of: the official OnePlus site doesn't provide a version as it has with other models yet, and I couldn't find any 3rd party link either. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Did you buy the Chinese variant? Did you manage to install Oxygen OS?

The 8T I bought was listed as Chinese but came with OOS (KB05AA) installed and I've had no issues updating it. It's model number is KB2000.

Question Do I need to update the firmware (or radio or baseband)? (Not ROM)

I received my New Poco X3 Pro, waited 1 Week for unlock and flashed Arrow OS 11.
I did not install a Xiaomi ROM because I want a Custom ROM on there.
Do I need to update the firmware (or radio or baseband)?
How do I find out what firmware is currently on my phone?
Based on this site, the latest firmware would be V12.5.4.0.RJUEUXM.

However, I do not find any clue about the baseband on my phone.
In Settings-about-Android version the baseband is listed but there is no version number close to V12...
How do I get the current firmware version and do I need to update it?
You have to decide wether to work with stock firmware or custom rom (firmware)... the stock is provided often in "waves" so it could be that you receive a new firmware over ota, but a friend with the same device will gett it 3 weeks later. with stock firmware you get some updates, but with custom nobody guarantees you new versions. I´m very happy with AICP 16.1, which distributes a new Rom Version every Friday... Tomorrow i will get a new version with regularyly smaller bug fixings. My version is from 4th of february ... i never updated radio or baseband with all my devices, normally you dont need to, its in the custom roms
I am talking about firmware, not the ROM.
The firmware/radio is updated separately.
since more than 20 years of mobiles i have never got a seperate(!) radio update (but i flashed different radio versions to adapt custom roms (from australia i.e) to local conditions). Afaik stock firmware made by manufacturer, adapted to the given hardware and build on the differnt Android versions. Custom Roms are the same but made not by manufacturer but by "free" developers. If it is not so, it would be nice to hear how it is in reality....
The Pixel Experience ROM contains this firmware images for radio or need to be update separately?

You don't need to flash firmware because any of them should work. I flash many rom but haven't flash any firmware.
In an ideal world, the latest firmware should ideally provide performance optimization or bug fixes or securities updates or new features etc.
Of course, unlike drivers, they not obligated to keep us in loop what the update is about.

performance opitmization , bug fix and securities update should be include in the rom and kernel. Firmware isn't rom so that should be no need.

Firmware is an read only system and just like any system it has purposes which this case it provide instructions on how to communicate with the hardware. Just like any piece of codings, it can contain bugs or exploits or unoptimized codings like looping 10 times to do one thing.
