Hey everyone
I have an M8 with me. GSM of course. It's S-OFF with an Unlocked bootloader.
Current CID is HTC__001
Current FW is 6.12.401.4
My Radio/baseband right now is 1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_F
Now for no reason at all, I want to convert to Developer Edition.
Questions:
1) Can I flash the Developer Edition RUU and then flash the radio from the .401 firmware to get LTE Band 3 (1800MHz) and Band 20 (800MHz)?
2) Is there a ZIP format RUU available for the Dev Edition? I hate using EXEs.
3) Does Developer need 0P6B120 or can I stay on 0P6B100?
4) Will I get OTAs on Dev Edition if I have a different radio than the Dev one?
1. Haven't seen reports of this exact combination being flashed. But in theory, it should work.
2. Not sure if I've seen zip format. Can't think of a thread, off hand. If I find one, I'll post it here.
3. You need to change to the proper MID (in this case 0P6B120). That goes for any official RUU.
4. Pretty sure that having a different radio will cause OTA to fail.

Would it be pointless then if I converted?
Considering I'd have to flash OTAs etc manually.
Also, do Dev edition devices get monthly security patches? Because the 401 firmware is on the December 2015 security patch.
And there aren't any new OTAs.

Seems pointless to me, yes. The DE has been getting updated a bit faster than 401, but only by a few weeks (if I remember properly). And they are both pretty much unbranded ROMs.
Once you take OTA updates out of the equation, yes it seems pointless to convert to DE.

No, the DE does not get monthly patches. I don't know of any HTC phone that got monthly patches. The last update for DE was last December, also.

So the only way to get recent security patches is to flash CM or GPE?
Do Sense based custom ROMs have the latest security patches or are they also stuck on December?

I'm not even sure GPE gets the monthly patches. Sense versions certainly don't.

Yes it's possible but we need to flash on top our (tmobile) kernel.
I also can't find our tmobile frimeware tar (for odin in case of bootloop)
Damn....booooooring
Hmm I'm downloading the TMO firmware from SamsungUpdate to start, but it's gonna take another 6 hours because of their metered connection -_-.
We'll see how that works out, but ideally I'd be 100% debloated and rooted with Samsung Pay working.
Don't think that'll be possible, but at least we're dealing with unlocked bootloader devices haha

any lucks for the SM-G928C ?
My edge plus is already on 5.1.1 - why the desire to download the same version of firmware from another country? Maybe I'm missing something...
That's not new
Guys, the phone is running great!
Updating for the sake of updating isn't always a good thing when out of the box it's actually working well!
When a device has problems there are threads everywhere of complaints. When a device works things are quiet usually with just the usual how to question. Of course everyone wants root, when it comes it comes. Be patient!

I do not believe you have to do anything.
While yes, both are version 5.1.1, if you look at the last 4 digits of your firmware build number you should see AOGD. The new firmware build number ends in AOH2, showing this is a newer build date. Nothing major, probably just a few under the hood changes, which usually means a liitle better performance.

what about the root-ability?
If you are rooted on an older firmware, and you flash a stock rom via Odin you will lose your root access. So long as your phone model can be/is rooted on your current firmware, after you flash the newer firmware just follow the same steps to root your phone again.

Lousy timing on AT&T. I have been trolling waiting for this update and got really excited. Would have been OK with even an update to unlock the FM radio but alas, we just have a generic update.

Unlocked doesn't mean that it was hacked or rooted. It means that you can use any carrier's sim card in it.

I'm no expert, but the way I think it works is that if your phone's not AT&T branded you won't get the update as they are AT&T version specific. If you want to check for and get any kind of updates you'll probably have to go through Samsung's Kies program.
Sorry, misread on the unlocked part.
I just got lots of updates from the play store, one of which is the new Samsung Browser that is included in 6.0 Marshmallow
ok thanks Kyuta Syuko for the information

Android's April security update tackles another Stagefright flaw
You'll want to update in short order.
Google's monthly Android security updates are nothing new, but its latest release may be particularly important. The new April update tackles eight critical vulnerabilites that include one in the libstagefright library -- you know, the same media framework that recently faced a rash of real and potential exploits. It also patches a nasty kernel flaw that would give attackers full control over your device. You'll get first crack at the fixes if you either have a Nexus device or can install an Android Open Source Project build, but other vendors that offer Google's monthly updates will likely follow suit before long.
Now tell me that i do not need this update!

Relax no one's gonna target you and "hack into your phone" if your worried about stagefirght then you shouldn't rely on att or Samsung for that matter to patch it, consider using a texting app that offers protection instead like textra. Anyway good luck finding that 60mb insignificant update file that no one will bother to upload
Stagefright was patched way before this and even though we just got the update, we still don't have the latest patch
Hallo guys & gals, I wanted to ask you guys about monthly Security Patches as Google has made bound all the OEMs to release monthly security patches for their devices. In this regard most of the devices are getting monthly or at least once in a couple of months but my Honor-6x is not getting any OTA update since April 2017.
Do you guys have any idea or does any body have any Honor 6x with a more recent security update patch?

Every month lol. The best Joke i have read.
Well, it depends on the region, US models are rarely updated (unlike EU and Indian variants)
I saw in your signature that your phone model is BLN-21. Could you check if your build ends with B360? If yes, an update should come out soon but meanwhile you should be able to force it, by going on system update > tap on the 3 dots in the upper right corner > download latest update (if the option isn't there you cannot force it yet)
As you can see in these screenshots, in the 1st system update says that there aren't updates; in the 2nd, the option mentioned above is the first of the list, and finally in the 3rd i can download the update
Whoops i forgot the third screenshot, here it is
Well guys as you can see in my shared screen shot my device is on B361 of update level and the region is actual Pakistan which falls under middle east region. Now I actually created the thread to make it sure, whether my region is getting updates or not?
And thanks, @RedSkull23, I have tried your suggestion but as you see my device is already on B361.
I think my real problem is the update via firmware finder, and that's why my device isn't getting OTA updates. As the below screen shot reveals my device is on B361 but the security patch is 5 April 2017, and it is the time when this update was released and I updated my device through FF, since than I have tried a lot but I couldn't get any OTA update.
Sent from my BLN-L21 using Tapatalk
When I still had my 6x, the patch would come about 10-15 days after Google released it. Couldn't say it's timely, but it indeed come monthly.
Btw, I have a Chinese model 6x.
Monthly in China ? And others can go to hell ?
I had to push B365 after about 3 months after B360. Others don't get it at all.

Can you check or, do you remember if previous build number matches with the number of your actual build, or if not? If they doesn't match, maybe the FF update you did has moved you on a different build number, and so your software update won't find nothing because that's the latest package of your ACTUAL build, instead of the previous. Personally, i get confused every time that i finish to speak about FF updates because with all that packages stored and selectable, the number of possibilities that could provoke an issue are too much to be hold in mind at the same time
You are absolutely right FF has its very serious pros & cons. And yes, I think I remember the previous build number of my device, it was B360 and I did a full package download and dload upgrade on my device, and I also remember I was too much enthusiastic to find a sulotuion for the FM radio problem, yet in vain.

The only place I found this firmware on was on paysites, and I'm not willing to pay god knows how much because I wanted to restore my phone to stock especially when I can flash a custom ROM for the time being, and please don't throw me to firmware.center, because I have checked and they don't have the firmware I need, and I guess I was fooled by a thread for the OTAs of NPPS25.137-93-2-5 (not hating on the guy who posted this, it was my fault). I tried searching for the firmware by its filename, and I couldn't find it on a website that didn't want some money out of me.

You would need to flash the previous firmware if its available and then OTA update to the latest version

All my Pixels have been Google-branded. Over the years, there have been carrier-specific builds during some updates. I have seen it for Verizon and T-Mobile. I have used both the generic version and carrier-specific builds and they work fine in the Google-branded Pixels.
I am still curious, though, what is Google's intent for these carrier-specific builds? Should the Google-branded Pixel always run the generic build, or if I am using a Verizon SIM, I should use the Verizon-specific build?
My phone is rooted, so I never OTA.
The carrier specific builds usually have either different bootloader or radio images than the Google stock build. My guess as to why Google does this is that the carrier submitted their changes somewhat late in the cycle and Google doesn't want to risk rolling them out to everyone until they are sure it works as intended, since they usually go back to a single stock build the next month that includes the carrier specific items. As to which build to use my experience has been that a Google branded phone with a Verizon sim will try to take a Stock OTA if the difference is the bootloader and the Verizon OTA if it is the radio. I have downloaded and looked at both versions and the bootloader is the difference so I would use the Google stock image.

Correct.

I honestly don't think it matters. I didn't even notice that there was a Verizon version and was in a rush getting ready to leave work. I accidentally downloaded and flashed the Verizon version to my Google branded 3XL on AT&T and it's doing fine. I've had no issues.
