I think it was just to remove the malware and fix the youtube app.

brick, Not Command

What a company. They fixed the malware. How on earth did they release a version with malware at all!?

Just one rookie question: Is it possible to update directly from v. 20151203 to this recent release (skipping the february "malware release") ?
Today I've tried to do so but was unable to install release 20160319 neither directly OTA nor by downloading OTA version and flashing it with TWRP.

Bricked for me too. It does not turn on anymore.

Malware is gone. Youtube is already working. However, does someone know about some reaction in response to that problem with malware?

Elephone P8000 20160319 ROM update
My OTA is not working. I get an Error while it is in Recovery mode. Is there a link for this update for flashing?

see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil

I tried to instal the update with OTA local update (Elephone_P8000_20160319211540 incremental OTA ) but my recovery shows an error and my installation was aborted. Is there a full update (2016) wich i can flash from my pc? i am sick of the malware!

Can anybody post a full firmware image (flashable via SPFlash or CWM) AFTER having upgraded to 20160319? I cannot use OTA since my phone is rooted......

I updated and now have a problem of "sudden shutdown". I think there is a bug with this ROM

Once TWRP is installed, how are OTA updates accomplished?

I just tried to update via downloading and then letting the phone install it, but it just rebooted me into recovery and when I clicked reboot and the phone turned back on, it said the update was corrupted.
Or do I not need to worry about OTA's anymore? Going to be flashing CM13 whenever it becomes available anyway.
Interested in the response to this, my strategy will be to stay stock for a week or two to get OTA updates, then root when good custom rom is available, on the assumption the dev will update rom with OTA updates. I'm new to HTC so please let me know if this approach is flawed

Hello guys
You can't use OTA's when you change the original recovery. You need to reflash it to HTC version to complete the update.
All explanations can be find there :

Hi guys I'm having same problem. I rooted my HTC10 and now I can't install official updates. My question is: it's really a problem that? Never Upgrading anymore my smartphone I'm going to loose something important?
And when this device will be upgraded to Android N what happens?

It is a problem you should always be up to date with your firmware. This problem can be resolved BY flashing the RUU for your device.
Excuse me yldlj, what RUU means?

Thank you CoCrop18 for your post.
I read links and now I've an answer for the community:
Someone is considering to have a workaround that allow to install OTA updates (original or modified by community) in rooted htc10?
Or can we stress HTC to release OTA for rooted devices too because they allow us officially to root it?

B377 for BLN-L21C432 (europe)

I just discovered the update in Firmware Finder dated july 31. My device is Bln-L21C432...
I'm downloading all 3 files right now. Installing biggest file is best ?
You´re right.
*#*#2846579#*#* and 3 hardware buttons combo do not see update.app in dload.
Strange; B151 did not have PV in filename either.
BLN-L21C432B360.
I just like security updates
Sorry, that I don' t understand.
Dload did not work for me.
B360
I tryed to Install the B364 on my BLN-21 with the Firmware Finder app.
But in the last step,after the download,it comes not certified.
But here they say,there is a new Update for Europe:
http://www.stechguide.com/honor-6x-b364-nougat-update/
"Must be on stock recovery" + "Flash with Twrp".
Strange info. Thanks for the link anyway.
What for Update is it,and when will we get it in Germany OTA?
In the Firmware Finder i can find it and download it,but i cant install it,because it says not compatible file.
And when i search OTA for an Update,i got the message no Update available.

Just patience, over Firmware Finder can install only this update, which have -PV on name end. Just try to look older Nougat firmwares

Thanks a lot for your Help.
I looked in the Firmware Finder,and the Update is without PV ending.

So i have to wait until the update is there with PV ending.
B365 is out now, only MF also, did anyone try to install this ? For some weird reason my BLN-L21C432 is still stuck on Marshmallow via official update.
But..... why ??? I want updates, now! It's just not fair
[serious] why is that russian site down ? http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=
B366 OTA-MF is also available now, but... on official OTA updates I'm still stuck of B151.
Did anyone flash these MF firmwares?
Only 1 file of 129 mb. Say... uh ?

Contact Honor support, they may force update your device to nougat (they just need your phone's IMEI)

That's nice, thanks to this thread I've noticed the B365 update. It was strange since that system update kept saying to me that there was no update available when running it, while as i clicked on the 3 dots in the upper right corner I've noticed that the option "download latest update" was there anyway (where often it isn't there if there's nothing to download obviously). 2.45GB for latest security patch is a punch in the eye anyway :cyclops:

Don't think that it'll be possible to extract it now, i wanted to do that too when i went to Nougat from Marshmallow but after the update the system automatically erase the package.
off-topic: how do I change the topic line into: B365 for BLN-L21C432 (europe) ?
not possible ?

These are the files needed for the update (B366 version):
https://mega.nz/#F!7clljDYQ!DjUTltO2GOHfBlHDndmCvQ
After the update, just flash TWRP and root again. None of your settings or apps/data will be affected (unless you've something that changes system files such as xposed framework - this can be resolved by reinstalling exposed zip)

Nope, I never had to. If the update re-locks the bootloader, your data partition will be wiped. As said above, the update does not affect your data (as also noted by Huawei's update info which says "This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating.").
Got it! But I saw B368 on Firmware Finder.

I got B367 on Saturday via notification. I'm the only one of three in the family thus far to get it, so it's definitely a slow roll out. I was super excited when I realized it also magically fixed my lagging camera-startup issue. :good:
That is, until today, when I realized I still had a massively lagging camera. Sigh...
Please tell me we'll soon get Oreo AND a camera fix.

Android 9 Pie update

Soooo.....I just bought this phone, unlocked the bootloader and installed Magisk.
Today, I got a system update notification saying Android Pie is ready to download.
Anybody else getting this and if so, I have to go back to 100% stock in order to upgrade right? Then unlock BL again?
Mine isn't showing the update yet. I've got the TA-1068. Not unlocked or anything.
It is possible someone jumped the gun, releasing it too early, and they pulled it so can't download it.
Not yet available on my nokia 6.1. I think we are a couple of weeks away from the update.

What security update level of android 8.1 are you on?
Good luck getting 100% back to stock.
I have a TA-1045 and I unlocked the bootloader and installed Magisk on the July patch of android 8.1. I get update prompts for the August security update, but the update won't install. I tried completely removing Magisk, but it stills fails with "Installation Failed". I don't think anyone has a stock recovery image (at least for TA-1045) to restore
At this point if you flash twrp/magisk you have no way of restoring to stock and accepting OTA updates. You will be stuck on the update you are on until someone figures out a way to take OTA updates or someone gets a hold of stock firmware images for your device (none yet for TA-1045)

I've was able to get back to stock recovery, system and vendor using the 1043 images and my phone still shows as a 1045. So even if removing magisk, it fails, cause I'm getting the installation failed as well. I'm curious if removing magisk and relocking the bootloader will help?

Nope - don't think its Chinse - it appears to be a "global" or international version. I don't really notice a difference from my original stock.
I got it from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...-to-flash-global-firmware-pl2-222e-0-t3831764
And was able to flash the "extracted version" with fastboot. I used some fastboot instructions that I found for a chinese rom and changed the filenames to match the worldwide filenames and it worked without the OST tool

You should have pulled the OTA link from a logcat so the rest of us can download the update files and upgrade ourselves :/
I guess this OTA is a fake. No one with a Nokia 6.1 has reported getting an Android Pie notification. It's super rare that just one single person will get it.

This. Unless OP is an insider and just dun goof'd, then I fail to see this as legit.
Slightly off-topic:
I was on the June security patch on my 6.1 until yesterday. I received an OTA notification while half asleep and got all excited thinking it was the Pie update, but no, it was the July security patch. What's interesting is that immediately after installing I received the notification for the August security patch, and promptly installed that. May just be me being lucky, but that almost imples that HMD are trying to push out the latest security updates to devices as a way of preparing for Pie maybe?

Im saying, the issue with pcb is fixed. Try downloading the update now and flash. Fyi, you cant downgrade from 10 to 9 once you have updated to 10. Samsungs efuse will be triggered. It's been said that a device affected with the PCB bug is hardbricked, however, that is not entirely true.

Efuse is popped during an update not a downgrade. Idk if ota pops it but i know updating with odin sure does and no, once the efuse is provisioned, there is no going back. If you or anyone else has found a way besides opening the device and making jumpers, please explain or provide links.
Device never went to 10 since the update with 10 has this error to ppl can still switch back to 9 hassle-free.
Thx for heads up!
Overall, Android 10 upgrade was a big disappointment for me, and pushed towards rooting it first, and then to installing LineageOS 17.1.
So, after rooting I disabled auto updates as I knew things can go bad.
But now I'm lucky LOS user!
I flashed my A705MN using Odin to get around the bootloop and it worked but now my wifi and bluetooth doesn't turn on. -_- I'm kinda new at this flashing business. How can I activate them both again?

Are you sure abt manufacturing unit place of origin is India it's fine ... Still if you used HOMECSC and it worked
