My gear VR dosn't work and I'm trying to find latest software version for N910A, because update doesn't work in Europe I have to do it manually.
I could only find stock default soft on this forum
OR what's the name of the latest baseband? My current is default N910AUCU1ANIE so I can google it
I tried using IPVanish to pretend I'm in america but rubbish AT&T updater tells me to wait 24 hours again. (flashing through odin helps to skip that)
I don't know what your trying to do but I know you can change the date on your phone by a day forward after unchecking auto date and time in the settings. Worked for me when I heard at&t had a update out and I already had checked for a ota that day.

You can't do anything unless you have at&t sim card in your phone and you are on at&t network. Otherwise phone will not update, also do to lock bootloader and no root we can't pull update from phone to create current firmware. Your phone is on last avalable official firmware and longest you can't get phone on at&t network or someone find root for this phone you can't update. Sorry for bad news.
Edit: If you in London have Samsung store you can go there and see if they can update your phone true Smart Tool.
Clicking from notecable N910A
Thread cleaned. Keep it on topic folks.
If this was posted elsewhere in addition to here, try reporting it and you may find it gets addressed. Thank you.
My current is default N910AUCU1ANIE too . Can't update
Guys i recently ordered an Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe from a Chinese retailer. Obviously because the phone was the Chinese or Taiwanese Version they rooted the device and installed a WW Firmware before shipping it to me. The Version i have is 2.19.40.18 but the battary life is really bad. I realised all this when i tried to search for firmware updates but there is no way to search from the settings menu and the OTA Solution doesn't seem to work because i don't get a notification to update.
ADB doesn't work either because the 3 PCS i installed all the necessary drivers on, i couldn't get them to correctly recognise the device.
Anyways, i just want to be able to update the device to the latest WW software version, i don't care about the root if i will loose it because i don't use the device as a superuser.
What do you advice?
Same situation here. I have the same software version (both on device and in recovery). I also want to update the sofware but OTA option is unavailable in the SOFTWARE INFORMATION MENU, I tried manually but it doesnt work. I dont even know the root method used by seller so I dont know how to unroot, neither will unroot make manual OTA possible.
Please help someone.

Had the same problem. I unrooted, flashed stock latest firmware and now I have system update option.
I used this threads for guide:

Hope it helps.
It does! Thank you!!
OK I have a UK Vodaphone G3 (LG-D855) still with their bootloader but it is rooted using the purple drake method which i did about 9 months ago, I think now is the right time to update the OS, so should i go via the OTA route and go to Lollipop or wait and go the Marshmallow or given i have rooted do i have to use another method to upgrade the OS.
Looking at my "Update Centre" it says the following "New OS Version: V20f-DEC-22-2014 (522.49MB)"
I am happy working with PC's but know very little about phones so please be gentle with me.
If you need any more info from me just ask.

Do not upgrade via ota when rooted this is a big no no can cause big problems.. If you want a new update just flash a kdz (stock rom) with flashtool. There are plenty of guides on here on how to do that.
v20f is a very old update the newest is 21a..I would probably wait for Marshmallow according to rumors it should be with us about middle of December .:good:
Edit here are a couple of links for you flashtool and guide >>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 << Kdz stock roms >> http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=41 <<
Also when you are rooted you can't take ota
OK many thanks for the info tallman43 and also thx for the links, looking at the link with the rom's i'm unsure if i should go for number 520 as it say V10l or 530 as mine is Vodaphone 16GB, or does it not even matter?
Also one very newbie question if i may these "roms" are in PC talk just images of a pc when it comes out the factory, all have windows 7 for example but some will have different apps preinstalled depending if it was Dell or HP etc, just trying to get my head round it "my way" if you get my drift.

V10 kdz are kitkat roms V20 kdz are lollipop roms obviously if you want the latest firmware then V20 is the one to go for.Also if you look through all the firmware's not just uk you will find 21a kdz this is the very latest one.Also you don't have to specifically use the uk ones technically you can flash any I am from the Uk and have used 21a without any problems.
Only thing I would say is if you flash one from another country try for ones that are closer to uk ie: Don't flash lets say a HongKong firmware but places like Poland,Spain,France etc are ok but like I said you could technically flash any.
Also in answer to your last question about pre installed apps yes some of them may have odd one or two different apps installed in them by the carrier.
One last thing if and when you use flashtool make sure you do not unplug your phone until it as fully flashed and rebooted flashtool sometimes comes up with a banner saying something like can't connect or failed. Look at the progress bar on your phone this is the best way to see if it is flashing ok.
OK mant thanks tallman43 you've been a real star with all this info.

Another thing - custom ROMs are faster than stock work various improvements, so flashing a custom is highly recommended.

Hey everyone.
I'm running on completely Stock 5.1.1 OK1 on my Note 4 and just recieved the official MM OTA update last night. Due to my phone having a lot of junk and being laggy I decided to flash the official firmware from any external method to have a clean install of the os. I heard about Samsung Kies which makes a back up of your phone and installs the latest os, I installed and backed up my phone last night but it didn't seem to give me an update on the os, it said "This is the latest version" (5.1.1 COK1).
My main concern about this is. I've bought this phone from Pakistan (used phone but in brand new condition) and I'm currently living in Malaysia and I have no idea who was the previous owner of this phone. In Kies it shows the phone number different than what I have (maybe its the Sprint phone number?).
What if my carrier is locked by having a clean install? Or any sort of other related issue occurs.
Please take some time to enlighten the facts from your knowledge, will highly appreciate it.
Regards.
waiting for official release bro. If rom is released on sammobile, see the icon kies highlighted on the right.

Yeah but you totally missed my question here.
Its not that I don't want to do some research myself, I'm a student and I'm busy most of the time. So if anyone can take out their precious time to answer my question I'd really appreciate the help.
If you're concerned about your phone or sim getting lock..you can just use galaxy tools apk v3.1.5 & then upgrade the apk to v3.1.8 & it will unlocked it for you... but i doubt it will lock you down... maybe you can just try to back your rom completely & restore if any issues encounter
it's dependent on the way that they unlocked the phone, someone in vietnam has been locked after updated the phone, but my phone was not.

And I have no idea how my phone was unlocked, I just bought it like this. I can see the Sprint phone number on Samsung Kies maybe I should write an email to Sprint asking them to unlock it using that Sprint phone number?
Dear all,
This is my first post and I have bought a honor 7x on ebay and I noticed after a few months that I cannot update the phone as there is no system update button. I contacted the seller but ofcourse he was not of any help.
From what I understood( correct me if i'm wrong), the seller installed a custom firmware on the phone so that there is no chinese on the phone. but with these custom firmware, there is no updates. I also get a message upon restart( please find the picture below)
I would like to update the phone . is it possible to update the phone or roll back to stock firmware so I can be notified of updates.
Please find the necessary attachment. Please let me know what I can do as I cannot access my mobile network section( hence cannot switch on roaming) .
i live in Europe and use english as phone language.

You intended on telling us important information with a screen shot. But you are not allowed. I get that. But now we (as a group) do not know what you have , nor what you need.

ok so you get the warning message, so bootloader is unlocked. Means you should be able to modify it.
your model is "BND-AL10" your region is "C00"
there are many full roms available for this model.
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=bnd-al10c00&firmware_page=0
you should be able to install almost any of them through the firmware finder app search play store--- if you have google play installed

Thank you for your quick response.
I install the firmware finder on the play store but I couldn't trigger the update as there is no update button on the settings system.
Even though I do not have the update option in my settings, I can follow instructions to update the phone manually through the computer. If i understood correctly, I can follow these instruction: appuals.com/manually-update-honor-7x-al-10-firmware/
Is it possible to install another firmware on the phone so that I have the update option and also the mobile network section( hence cannot switch on roaming). I travel a lot and the data roaming is important for me.
I am completely new to this as I was an apple user, hence still discovering android possibilities

don't get a bad idea of android based on this device. It has way more specific weirdness about it than any other android I have had.
There is way to change to other area firmware, but do not try that yet. Your device is missing stuff , probably because previous owner deleted it, not because to version it is.
download fullOTA files for your devices listed model/ region and use HWOTA to install.

Hello, I did the update via the HiSuite of Huawei. I got the notifications on the windows programs. I did 2 update ( one for the system and the other one was the emui)
Now I cannot open google play or any google applications(maps, gmail, etc)
do you know how I can remedy that?
My emui version is 8.0.0
android version 8.0.0
It is a bit frustrating
my google play version is Google Play Store 10.8.32-all [0] [PR] 205344279 (240-480dpi) (Android 4.1+) 5 WHICH I updated through the Hisuite Update and downloaded this apk.
