Problem: Lollipop in SM-N910V whit Chilean Carrier - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! I have the SM-N910V model (unlocked) but with a Chilean carrier, therefore, I have a Chilean chip, and I haven't a Verizon Account.
When i try to put "Check now for software update", it said "Service Unavailable. Software update is temporarily unavailable". So, i cant upgrade to Lollipop I will never be able to upgrade? or there are a solution for this?
Sorry my english level, thanks for your help!

There aren't another ways to upgrade from my phone?

I'm in the same boat as you... The other way is to get the two update zips and update manually

You will find part 1 and part 2 of the ota update in the following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3071846
You can download them to your SD card and reboot to recovery and apply them..

I've got a straight talk sim card, so I know how you feel. Just keep checking Kies.

I found it! thanks! i just have to do that? doesnt need root? any risk?

There isn't root for the retail version and you don't need root to flash it..
Just clear cache between flashing part 1 and 2 and you should be fine

Finally! i got it! thanks you very much to all! specially to @PapaDocta ! its works perfectly!

[Q] Not getting OTA

Hey guys. I've had my Zenfone 2 for almost 2 month now. I'll include a screenshot of my current version, but basically I'm on 2.13 but there is already a 2.18 but it never finds any when I search for them. Am I not doing something?
Thanks

Have you rooted you Zenfone? You can always update it manually if not but downloading the OTA updates and putting them on the SD card.
Nope. Haven't done anything to it. And yes I know but I shouldn't have to manually do it. Know what I mean?

OTA's are released in batches gradually, you might be in the last batches of OTA triggers, i would advice to update manually.

The thing is, I'm not exactly sure which version I can use to update. Can someone guide me to the exact ota for me. Also can I jump straight to 2.18 or do I have to go to 2.15 then 2.17,etc?. Thanks a lot.
So i downloaded WW firmware "UL-Z00A-WW-2.14.40.19-user" from the asus support page and i went to flash it via recovery but it just gives an error. I tried renaming the file to "MOFD_UPDATE" but that also just gave me error. I then was able to get it pass the error screen to show the recovery menu but there is only update via adb AND i noticed it says CN at the very top. I'm confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Go to this link, you just have to download the update and not all the 1gb zip from asus support.
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/p/fota-center.html
For your version it's the 1st one 2.13.40.13 to 2.14.40.19 then next one and go on.
Hope that helps.
P.S. Put it in the internal storage of your phone, just drop it there not in folder. Reboot your phone and you will get a system update notification.
There is a Thread dedicated to this .... I would recommend reading it from top to bottom and analyse each step accordingly!! you would be able to figure it out!!

Thanks man. I've been trying this all day yesterday. I download it and put it on the storage, NOT in any folders.(I removed my Micro-SD) I even tried renaming it "UL-Z00A-WW-2.14.40.19-user.zip". Still no pop-ups. Even after restarting.

Yeah i did this. I flashed over the recovery,fastboot, and boot files(took it from "old" folder seeing i'm on 2.13.40). It flashed fine, it now says WW in recovery. However i am stillNOT able to get any pop ups for updates after putting the zip files on my internal storage.
No you must flash lastest img. Then go to recovery and apply update via adb I think.
The zip file for lastest rom is about 1gb.

bypass battery limit without root

Hi guys,could someone explain to me clearly how to get my battery level back to 100% on my galaxy note 7?
I would like to do everything without giving root permits. I have searched on the forum but sadly i couldn't find a step by step guide to help me.
Model: SM-N930F
Android version: 6.0.1
Kernel version: 3.18.14-9450328
Build version: MMB29K.N930FXXU2BPJ9
Baseband version: N930FXXU2BPJ5
Serial number: RFH8H91FDMKW
I think you have to root once the update is on your device as the only way to remove it once it is on the device is to change the firmware.

no that's not true, you do not require root to flash firmware via odin..in fact if your already rooted doing so will unroot your device. but yes you need flash the previous firmware in odin to remove the charging killing update
the important part is keeping the OTA from happening again. most of the package diasablers i know of have been updated and dont work now.
there is an ADB method but the easiest way to prevent it is rooting but the OP doesnt want to root so he is going to ha e to research the other methods i mentioned to find something that works.
short if that get used re flashing the previous firnware over and ovet to get back full charging capability.

no you wont lose anything at all unless you factory reset...that will wipe your device.
that said sometimes a factory reset is needed after flashing in odin so i would move anything you want to keep to your ext SD card just in case then move it back after.
your English is fine my friend no worries!

Thanks to your help, I think I can flash the old rom. Regarding the updates, I would like to use this app: "package disabler pro 6.2"
What do you think about that?

Hope this helps to avoid 60% battery update.
Hi, I'm having a problem downgrading back to before the update. I have the FD version.
If I try to flash the bootloader in Odin, it tells me unsupport dev type and crashes. If i try to flash the twrp, it tells me custom OS installation is locked. What do I need to do? I am noob, never done this before. Please let me know what I need to do to fix this?

However, maybe it's not working for you, if you were already hit by an android security patch in the firmware you actually have. It differs depending from your country or provider specific version. But if you don't get the java.lang.SecurityException, all will be fine. Just try.

SIM card not detected after flashing LineageOS 16

Hello everyone,
I have a pretty big issue with my HTC 10 which I installed LineageOS 16 on.
Last week I got the HTC 10 from my dad because he switched to a POCO F1 because the HTC has the battery problem (fast draining, phone powers off when trying to use camera etc.).
Since I was on a LG G3 which has the common display problem I took the HTC and didn't care much about the battery.
When I got the phone it was updated to Android 8 via OTA. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, then LOS 16 (2019-02-02 build) and 9.0 gapps.
First I had no sim card because the G3 used micro SIM. Then I ordered a new one from o2 since it's free and has a 3 size adapter. When it arrived I tried to put it into my phone and was surprised that it still says no sim card.
It should work because my dad also has an o2 sim card and only one week passed since I got the phone so I don't think this is a hardware failure.
I have read something that I only can use Android 8+ ROM on 8 firmware but it was updated to 8 so it should have the 8 firmware, right?
IMEI is shown in settings too and there was something about flashing RUU to get to stock and having the 8.0 firmware.
If I really need that (which I want to avoid since I have to backup data and I have much data) can someone give me a link to Android 8 RUU?
I have a unbranded HTC 10 from Germany if that matters.
Thank you in advance,
VetrixFX

Being a custom rom with aosp base and a non standard/foreign provider, you likely need to manually set your apn.

I can't configurate my APN when the SIM card is not detected. There is no SIM card PIN prompt and it is a non-branded phone. My dad used the same provider as me with this phone but he was on Stock while I flashed it.

Oh, I see.
I would suggest going back to a stock based rom or RUU and see if it's actually working there.
Rather then relying on a custom based rom while troubleshooting it.
Could be a sudden hardware failure in the Sim slot/reader.

So here is the 2nd problem. I can't find a RUU where I am sure that is 99% compatible with my phone.
Also, I'm not real familiar with O2, but possibly the new SIM card needs to be activated...? (Pay as you go requires it, unfamiliar with other options)
I didn't see where you said if you tested the new sim in another phone. My apologies if I missed it.

Like I said, most likely the Sim card reader itself has gone bad or has lost its connection to the board.

You still need to flash the full firmware.
The blankflash flashes a bootloader that may not be compatible the other firmware.

I did what the thread brickhayabusa sent but now it doesn't give me the option to use wifi for the activation confirmation when starting up the phone. It wants me to use my sim card which its not active at the moment. So it stays on the configuring service screen. How do i get it to use the wifi instead? Or do i have to have an active sim card?

You still need to flash the full firmware.
The blankflash flashes a bootloader that may not be compatible the other firmware.

One last question tho... if I lock the bootloader back down, will that get the phone to be google certified and let me download games again??

Yes, I would.
Or root with magisk can hide the unlocked bootloader

Can't update AT&T G8

I recently bought an AT&T G8 on eBay and no matter what I try, I can't update it. It's still on the factory update. I've had an activated AT&T SIM in it for several days, tried using other SIMs, factory resetting a few times, but I still get the same error that says it can't update or there's just no update. I've tried calling tech support there and going into a store, but they were out of ideas too. Does anyone have a link to any update to try installing or any ideas for how to get it to update?

This works on the g8? Given the lack of options we have with being able to recover the device I really don't want to brick.

It will not brick your phone. It's very simple. Get the kdz for your at&t model. Install a dev patched lgup and flash.

Not to a complete noob here, I've been out of the flashing game for a while but I haven't been successful in finding any online images for the at&t model. Any tips on finding one?

That's my understanding as well. I'm getting the run around from at&t, cricket, and LG with them pointing the finger at each other playing the blame game. Seriously annoying... The G8 is a beast but if it's like this I might just stick with my pixel 3a. I appreciate the info though from everyone.

That's the us open
so has anyone flashed this firmware manually via LGUP to their AT&T g8 and was successful? does everything get wiped?
So I've bought a couple of these att LG g8. The problem was that I am on cricket so no updates. This has been a fool proof way I've found to get the updates moving.
I put in an activated (I didn't add any money to my att account) att sim, 10 bucks from Walmart. I issue a factory reset and skip all setup (except connecting to WiFi). Check update as soon as I am through setup. If it works great ,if not repeat. It's worked on 3 phones so far.
