Looks like your bootloader version is 3. New one is 4. But we have you can Odin files with v4 bootloader. So I will say yes you will get ADB or Odin files to go back or update.

No future problems will there be risks to upgrade to nougat using the updated bootloader?
That is my current concern, that in the future v4 will not be able to upgrade to nougat via abd or odin (I do not know which one to choose)

V4 is current official AT&T bootloader for Note 5. You will be able to update if you are on V4 bootloader.

Only a Nandroid backup can be THAT good (on other rootable phones). With Smart Switch backups, I lose saved game data and other application data.

My device is still on CPHA or september 2016's patch. Can I go to this february update via adb sideload without updating the patch before this? I live outside US region

No. You need to update one by one

I just got this update OTA last night. This is what I was waiting for since I want to wait until the Nougat update to factory reset again. Seems good so far but haven't had it long enough to find major differences.

best way to upgrade from LMY47X.N920AUCU2APB2 to MMB29K.N920AUCS4CQA1
Hi,
Thanks a ton for the update!! I have a at&t note-5 being used on t-mobile and is currently on build number:LMY47X.N920AUCU2APB2(mar 2016 update) and I was wondering as to how to upgrade to the latest version MMB29K.N920AUCS4CQA1. Since I can't get my hands on a at&t sim I will need to update it manually. Could anybody please guide me as to what is the best way to get to the latest version. I did search the forum but there seem to multiple and sometimes confusing ways so wanted a little clarity on that. Thanks in advance!!

You can ODIN from your desktop PC directly to *****PK1
After that, you would then use ADB from your desktop PC (USB debugging enabled) to sideload the subsequent updates to your device as Nobarb suggested. However that last step would wipe your device (so a backup will be necessary).
I'm in the same boat as you are, so I'm just waiting for the next official update (or something flashable in ODIN to get me back up to date)

Hi, Thanks for the fine tool!
Unfortunately some apps still label my 6.1 plus phone as (rooted)
Even after I flashed the DRG354H home B stock rom,
Everything went well, but the postoffice app here refused to log me in, saying that my phone is rooted! and its not!
Kindly if there is any fix to wipe the phone clean of any former root traces I'd be most grateful.
or if there is a full stock firmware file download link would be the best.

I got the feeling google is preventing uncertified phones from getting any OS updates. I hope I'm wrong though.

Can you be polite with your words, please? People are not getting paid to answer questions like yours.
Currently, there are no official unlock methods for ANY Nokia phones. But it still unlockable by unofficial means. You can search Google for that. Try searching for bootloader unlock service from techmesto or hikary. It costs around $5 to $8 depending on the status of your phone. Google is your friend, mate.
I hope you have a good day.

EMUI 11 [Global] Huawei P30 (ELE)

Huawei has finally begun the rollout of EMUI 11 for the Huawei P30 (ELE) and P30 Pro (VOG) today. The version is 11.0.0.138 and the package size is about 1.81 GB.
How to check for the update:
1. go to Settings then System & updates, then open Software update, select Check for updates
2. open the Support app, go to the Service tab on the bottom bar, tap on the update, then select Check for updates and then download and install
3. connect to a PC with a USB cable and check for updates in HiSuite
Feel free to share your experience with EMUI 11, please also share the exact type of your device (e.g. ELE-L29 C431E27R2P5) and how did you manage to update to EMUI 11, also mention from which build did you update.
In case the download method or updating with HiSuite proxy will be available, also share a how-to and I kindly ask you to perform a SafetyNet test.

I used VPN and chose China, then set the region of my phone to Nepal yesterday. The Support app found 10.1.0.201 with this trick. Then today, about an hour ago I checked the Support app again and it finally offered me to update to EMUI 11. Hooray!

It is only anything newer than the p30 series that cannot use google apps. Nothing is going to suddenly change on your phone.

They didn't, that was my point. It's only newer devices that are without Google services.

I just got my P30 (ELE-L29 UK Unlocked) updated to EMUI11, updated to the January security update, then enabled my VPN with china selected then checked for updated in the support app.
Also a sidenote, this is EMUI11 but it's still android 10, and good gesture navigation is still not working with Nova launcher
Edit: Now fails safetynet, so no google pay for now....

How come that your phone failed the safetynet test if you updated via OTA? I'm on 11.0.0.138(C431E8R2P3) and it passes the test and Google Pay works fine.
I believe that gesture navigation will not work perfectly if you use a third-party launcher. I use Evie launcher and I also had to install MyGesture app from Play Store. I like it better than the stock gestures, more customizable.

I have no idea, I did a backup with hisuite, factory reset with recovery mode and now it passess, so it might have been a bug or one-off or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

got update today, UK Vodafone, ele-l09 /c431e8r3p3/

Yesterday my phone received the EMUI 11 update (build 11.0.0.138), no need to do any trick. Model ELE-L29, unlocked, Spain.
Since the upgrade, VoLTE was enabled (it was off before the update) and the option to disable VoLTE is no longer available on the settings menu.
Anyone with the same issue? Any way to disable VoLTE using call codes or something else?

Stll nothing here. Getting frustrated because the website for my phone company shows the update as being released.

friends I have a P30 model ELE-L04 and I have not found any information regarding this model regarding emui 11. Do you have information about it?

Custom roms that work for S9+ sm-G965U?

I've heard there aren't many options because this particular model is difficult to unlock the bootloader.. however, I have managed to find someone who helped me get it unlocked and I would really like to install a custom rom on it that removes all the bloatware, removes gapps, and also gets rid of Bixby. Is there anything like this that exists for the the Samsung Galaxy S9+ SM-G965U? What would you recommend? I am also on Snapdragon 845 and Android 10 if that helps.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I just realized I posted in the wrong forum. I don't see an option to delete this thread so if a moderator could delete this I will post in the correct forum now. Thank you

I take it there's nothing out there eh? So disappointing. It wouldn't be possible to install a rom for SM-G965F onto the SM-G965U would it? So long as the bootloader is unlocked, will it cause problems?

mind sharing how you unlocked the bootloader or who you had do it

Greetings everyone,
I am new to this, but, have learned a lot: and there's a lot to learn.
I have successively ROM-Ed my Phone from ATT Samsung 9 PLUS G965U (ARB7) Android 8.0 to Android 8.0 R16NW.G965U1UEU1ARBG, (My phone says SM-G965U1), using great information in the forum.
My question is in two parts, (I want to stay in Android 8);
1 - My network is in SPRINT, do I stay where I am at, for that network, or do , I ROM to SPRINT using Sprint Android 8.0.0 G965USQU1ARBG? I will need that file, if I do.
2 - I would like to get OREO 8.1 on the phone, and stop there; I like OREO 8.1 - Does anyone here, know where I can get it? And how to install in regards to the above?
Thank you..

I second that! This worked for me too, as of this morning. But the main goal was to install something newer than Android 10 to my outdated smartphone.
Yes, it's now unlocked, rooted, on a custom kernel, with TWRP and with all possible warnings about running a modified software. But still on a stock ROM.
And now I'm puzzled - what can I do next?

Ok, I've just installed PixelExperience (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-12-unofficial-pixelexperience-plus-for-s9-s9-and-n9.4513473/) and it worked well!
I had to edit an Installer file inside the zip archive. There's a place with "assert" keyword where it compares the model/product name with "star2qltechn", and I had to modify it to "star2qlte" so that it could pass the check and continue.
Installed it through TWRP: first V4 TomKernel, then PE, then basic Gapps, and voi la!
(still need to fix Bluetooth editing some property file)

I was able to install crdroid and pixel experience just by doing what @_SlaSh_ did I just had to modify the bluethot thingy and that was it.

Well first used Pixel and the truth is good enough fluid system but I had a problem with whatsapp backups and the camera when you want to use whats web but other than that I would say that would return to it if not for that detail
Cr I changed it because of the problem of whats although the backups worked but the same problem of whats web still remains
but what I did see an improvement is that cr lets you modify issues that Pixel not as notifications, the status bar and others,
the other 2 I want to wait for a next update to test them.

Question Help needed to return to Android 12 stable

I opted in for the beta of A13 with my Vivo X80 Pro (Europe version).
The battery drain gets worse every week.
Now I found out that to downgrade to the stable version, I need to send the phone to VSP Data.
That is on the other side of Europe for me.
So, I want to downgrade it myself.
How to do this? Because all the tutorials I found online are outdated, incorrect or incomplete.
At the moment PD2185BF_EA_A_13.1.11.7.W30 is installed.
I did a lot of custom ROM with the HTC HD2, Samsung S3 and Xioami's before. But cant get this simple downgrade to go
Who can guide me with a complete tutorial and working drivers (for Windows 11 Enterprise)?

If you have the Mediatek version, you may have some luck experimenting with mtkclient. We do such downgrades on 1+ Nord2 without bootloader unlock, so it might be possible to do something similar here as well.
If you don't think you have the chops to figure it all out, wait till somebody with your device does though.

The EU version (W30) is the Snapdragon variant.

Welp, if the official instructions don't work for you (people have mixed success with it), you're indeed hosed and you'll have to send it in.

I suggest going to the service center if there is one in your country. They can downgrade it there.
Or just wait until stable or more capable beta versus on of A13 is up.

Sorry if someone already mentioned this but have you tried the Vivo downgrader computer application? It's the only thing that let me downgrade. I do have the Chinese version though so I am not sure if it only works on that.

Sorry if someone already mentioned this but have you tried the Vivo downgrader computer application? It's the only thing that let me downgrade. I do have the Chinese version though so I am not sure if it only works on that.

This looks to be a Chinese program.
I'm afraid it will brick my phone since my ROM is EU and not Chinese.

I opted in for the beta of A13 with my Vivo X80 Pro (Europe version).
The battery drain gets worse every week.
Now I found out that to downgrade to the stable version, I need to send the phone to VSP Data.
That is on the other side of Europe for me.
So, I want to downgrade it myself.
How to do this? Because all the tutorials I found online are outdated, incorrect or incomplete.
At the moment PD2185BF_EA_A_13.1.11.7.W30 is installed.
I did a lot of custom ROM with the HTC HD2, Samsung S3 and Xioami's before. But cant get this simple downgrade to go
Who can guide me with a complete tutorial and working drivers (for Windows 11 Enterprise)?

Does Vivo not have service in your country? I also tried donwgrade, but unfortunately I didn't find any working tools, ROMs, or procedure....
I have the same FW version as you and I have no battery problem. Check your apps. Often some update with gplay fails and then there is excessive consumption.

How about this?

They did, that is why I bought the phone.
But after 2 months they stopped.
Never a Vivo phone for me ever again.

And the 'local upgrade' function on the phone worked. (for the first time of all the tries).
But after the restart, it said the upgrade failed because the installed version is newer.
