Question regarding stock apps and other things...

Hi!
I got an M8 a few weeks ago, and regretfully wasn't thinking and allowed a few OTA updates.
So I was at firmware version 2.22.531.5, Android 4.4.3. There were 2 other OTA updates pending that I ignored because I realized that it may make it harder to root or s-off. I realize now I already performed the updates which would make Firewater not work.
I unlocked the bootloader, and flashed TWRP 2.8.0.1, then flashed the latest SuperSU.
Now the update notices stopped.
Few questions:
1. Does anyone know what updates beyond the version above were sent OTA, and how beneficial these updates are?
2. I'll probably get sunshine...but might wait. Can I install a different ROM without S-off?
3. Since I'm at 4.4.3, I may stay with stock until 4.5 (or whatever L is). But I definitely want to get some junk off the phone. I was going to use Titanium and uninstall a bunch of stuff... I have had a few HTC phones before and could identify what apps were part of the ROM framework, but it's not as easy to discern what apps I need to keep on this phone. Does anyone know of a thread that talks about what stock apps can be uninstalled? Or, in the alternative, if you have deleted apps, can you let me know which ones?
I know that's a lot of questions... Thank you in advance for any answers!

1, pretty sure that's latest update
2, u can still install custom roms etc. u won't be able to downgrade firmware/change variant of m8 without s off
3, Check HERE

Thank you!
I had one follow up question...
If I had just gone with sunshine from the start (and not gone with the token from HTC to unlock the bootloader), would I have still gotten OTA updates?
Which change (custom recovery, unlocked bootloader) stops the OTA updates?
Thanks to anyone again in advance!

you would have been fine with OTA from the start, the following stops OTA updates:
custom recovery installed
missing system apps removed
incorrect firmware etc

You can freeze apps with Titanium, and if doing so doesn't cause any issues, go ahead and uninstall.

Ok...But before I read this, I was just going through settings and I checked the "check for updates" section, and it wants to install firmware version 2.22.531.6. So maybe if you are still using stock (despite installing custom recovery), you still get OTA updates?
The update sounds minor given it's incremental version (but tmous/HTC claims it's for important security updates), and I'd probably ignore it... But unfortunately, because I checked in the first place and perhaps because I'm on stock (minus a few apps I'm trying to delete: Amazon, Facebook, Kid Mode), for whatever reason the update reminder stays in my notifications and is pretty insistent.
Can I install this without calamity?
Thank you!

You will get the OTA notification just fine with custom recovery, and it will download as well. The problem is, when you go to install, OTA requires stock recovery and will fail when it doesn't find it. Might also bootloop looking for stock recovery, can't remember exactly.

Oh boy... So what's the solution? It finally downloaded on its own and is now pestering me to install. I don't want to deal with a bootloop. ****...
Can I delete the update from recovery, it just disable the updater and delete it?
What are my options? Thanks!!

The OTA zip should be in your download folder on internal memory, delete this then uncheck auto update checking and u should be without the constant notifications.
If you want to update, u will need to reinstall a fresh nand with all stock apps included

I think I'm going to do this (install nand). I am going to get sunshine/s-off, then flash fresh stock RUU... will I still need to then lock bootloader?
Could you just give me a short list of steps to do this? I want to lock bootloader with s-off because I want get the @$&)!& HTC free 100GB Google Drive promo and all the updates.
I really appreciate it Archer...

No problem
1, sunshine s off
2, Flash relevant nand/firmware
3, use this guide to stock lock (not relock) bootloader HERE
4, u will have a stock m8 with S off ready for future OTAs (remember not to remove any apps preinstalled in the nand)
not sure of the 100GB promo as i use dropbox lol :silly::highfive::good:

Cool... And I have read that as long as you do it that way (using echo -ne '\x00....' and not "fastboot oem lock" when in fastboot mode with adb running) you will get "***LOCKED***" back and not RELOCKED.
When it's RELOCKED Google can't confirm your information so the promo won't work...But if locked, you can do it.
Now I just have to do it all..

Model BND-AL10 No system update- how to manually update

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.

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.

Unlocking the Bootloader, Flashing a custom ROM w/ Anti Roll-back??

Got myself a Redmi Note 5 Global version and want to update MIUI and possibly try a custom ROM. Just came here to make sure i'm not falling for any common mistakes before i do anything especially after reading a lot of folks that have bricked these devices due to Anti Roll-back so thats the last thing i want to do. The device came boxed with MIUI 9.5.6.0(OEIMIFA) and i've just ignored the update notification up to now so i presume i've avoided ARB and i would like to keep it that way.
So just to confirm are these the correct steps.
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Flash a custom recovery (TWRP or the equivalent)
3. Update MIUI / Flash custom rom package without ARB and flash through TWRP
Is there anything i'm missing or anything i need to specifically avoid other than ARB?

Just don't update your firmware (or update it with a ARB-less firmware), that's what will trigger ARB. Most of the customs rom don't contain firmware, only LOS advises you to flash a specific version, but MIUI roms do.
So you either steer away from those and flash fw-less roms, or you just delete the firmware-files folder from the rom and flash it without them.
This is my advice, before flashing anything, open the zip and check for the firmware folder. If it has it, delete it (unless is specified by the dev to flash that along the rom, in that case, just avoid it, there's a plethora of custom roms to choose from).

Ok thanks so i'll just stay clear of any roms containing the firmware folder for now. I do like LOS but if theres any risk associated i'll just give it a miss for now.
I also assume its easy to recover from a bad flash following the no firmware folder rule since theres no real risk associated with flashing just a ROM(no firmware)?
Finally, what about kernels and bootloader updates is there anything specific i need to watch out for there? I only ask because my previous device included a sneaky OTA update which locked the bootloader and i'd obviously like to avoid anything like that here.
Sorry for all the questions i'm just a bit behind on the flashing front, my previous device was a Motorola Razr HD and flashing seems to have changed quite a bit since then.

No problems, happy to help if I can.
And yes, no risk if you don't flash firmware. Worst case scenario, you'll have to reflash a miui rom with MiFlash, which means losing your data, but imo it's better than bricking the device.
As for kernels and bootloader, you're good to go. Nothing will relock your bootloader (except flashing with MiFlash and selecting that specific option) and a kernel in the worst case will just give you a bootloop. Use backups. ?
And as far as LOS goes, you can flash it without the specified firmware (even tho I'm pretty sure it's an ARB3 firmware) but I guess there might be some small issues.

Good luck with unlocking the bootloader, that thing takes from 720 to 1440 hours, just got my rn5p in a week now i have to wait a month before rooting...

LG G8 (LM-G820QM) Unlocked

I have LG G8 Alexa variant. Model LM-G820QM.
I think ts on latest firmware "qm21e". Right now I live in India so the VoLTE is not working. I tried to cross-flash it to Open firmware but LGUP gave error "Cant change the device(AMZ_US > OPEN_US)".
I have three questions.
Can I cross flash Korean firmware ?
And if so, will i get VoLTE working ?
And my G8 has 2 cams while the Korean varient has 3 cams. Will my cams work with Korean firmware ?
Thank you.

Do you by any chance still have the OPEN_US Firmware?
I've been looking everywhere for it but I can't find it.

I think any of this 2 are OPEN. If not then reply me back I will deep search on google. I happend to found it somewhere but can't remember where exactly.

Thanks for your reply
Unfortunately, neither one worked.
I tried the first one, however the flash tool didn't work because (OPEN_US_>NAO_US)
The second one would not download at all. I don't think it would have worked anyway since my phone is not the Alexa version. It's factory unlocked, purchased from Best Buy.

Hey man, I was able to figure out my problem! Not only that, I discovered one of the NAO_US Firmwares was actually OPEN_US, and that worked for my phone. I am now back up and running, with an unlocked bootloader and Root!
I appreciate your help, and I want to help you if I can.
As for the cross-flashing, you can't do it via LGUP. The only possible way is to download the firehose for your phone and to use the Qualcomm Image Flash Loader(QIFL) tool. You can extract the firmware you want to flash, and load all the images into the QIFL partition manager. There is no guarantee your phone will boot from it, but you can try it. NOTE: Do NOT modify the OP partitions! This will cause your phone to throw an OPID mismatch error and it won't boot!
As for the cameras, you may be able to extract the current Camera APK from your phone and install that on the Korean firmware so that you are still able to use them. No guarantee this will work, and they might work fine with the Korean camera APK, but it's worth doing before you flash.

I see, but I just want VoLTE to work. I don't mind using stock rom or custom rom too. So keeping that in mind what do you suggest? And also, Do you think that your solution " I discovered one of the NAO_US Firmwares was actually OPEN_US, and that worked for my phone. I am now back up and running, with an unlocked bootloader and Root! " could work for me too ? If so do let me know how did you figured that NAO_US was actually OPEN_US. Maybe I can find out one for AMZ_US.
On the box Model : G820QM
SKU : G820QM8 (QM8 stands for AMZ)
Thank you.

I'm really not sure how VoLTE works internally, so I couldn't tell you if using another firmware would actually work for you - but the way I found out one of the firmwares was actually OPEN_US was by extracting it using the KMZ extractor tool someone made. This is how I was able to reflash the partition on my phone that I screwed up on in the first place and created a brick with. Like I said, you could manually reflash all those partitions one-by-one in QFIL, but i don't recommend it as it may not even work and could potentially brick your device. It's really up to you in this case, if you'd like to try though:
Download the firmware you want to try, search for KZM extractor on Google, download QFIL and all of it's prerequisites, and finally the firehose.
Use the KZM extractor and place the firmware inside of it.
Once it is done extracting all the files, put your phone into download mode and open QFIL
NOTE: DO NOT FLASH THE PARTITIONS WITH 'OP' IN THEM! Your phone won't boot for sure!
From QFIL use the firehose file and manually, one by one, sort through the output files of the KZM extractor and find the partitions that match their name and flash them with the file.
Zero guarantees this will work, and you may end up with a brick for a phone at the end of the day, but if you're that desperate it just might work.

Hi there.
I am still looking for solutions for VoLTE to work. I googled a lot and came on this post " https://piunikaweb.com/2021/06/07/unlocked-lg-g8-thinq-now-supports-att-volte-after-april-update/ "
Mine is Amazon version "QM8". Yet I did received april update via OTA. But still no VoLTE. I can OEM unlock from devs. Can I flash AT&T "QM7" on Amazon "QM8" ?
What do you think of this please let me know.
Thank you

VoLTE seems to depend on files in the OP partition, so crossflashing other partitions but not OP will not get VoLTE to work. LGUP will not allow crossflashing.
See my experience to get working VoLTE and Wifi Calling: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lg-g8-volte-fix.4113291/post-85455109
You will need to be bootloader unlocked and rooted.

Question Raw official firmware for ROG Phone 6/6 Pro

Success is disgusted by some people, and will not share any files for free in the future.
Do not use EDL firmware found online, because it has not been modified, 100% of fingerprints and IMEI will be lost after use.
You need to modify the firmware before you can flash it, you can contact me.
Not free, please don't bother me if you want free.

ROG Phone 6/6Pro has been released for a while, I haven't found the raw.zip firmware for this phone, if anyone has the firmware for this phone, please upload it, thank you!
I will update the CN to WW method as soon as possible, the EDL firmware needs the ENG firmware before I can make it, and I will continue to wait.

22.07.26 I have found the firmware and am uploading to cloud disk.Including the raw firmware of CN and WW, and the EDL firmware, I also found it. Because I bought it with money, I will release the CN and WW firmware for free.
The EDL firmware will not be released for the time being. If it is helpful to you, please donate to me via paypal, thank you.

Extract it from the official ASUS rom (has to be the exact identical version as on your device) or directly from your own device.

@Andrologic and @AndroPlus - Just a quick question, So i have successfully flashed the WW rom on CN device.
My understanding is that I need to change the fingerprint from CN to WW as well to be able to get OTA updates, is that correct?
@AndroPlus Donating to your Paypal my friend, thank you.

Yes but I don't think a bootloader unlocked device will receive OTA updates.
To me, not receiving OTA updates is no issue at all. Updating the ROG phones is as easy is dropping the firmware on the root of your SD card and restart the device - there is a process that picks it up and flashes it automatically. No RAW files needed for that. Later when TWRP becomes available for ROG 6, it can be flashed directly from there too. In fact I prefr updating that way over OTA. Also, if you don't use OTA, you can disable the background FOTA process and save a tiny bit of CPU and battery for prformance optimization.

Thanks, Yup i am aware of that and thats how i updated the device with the last update. Howerver receiving OTAs is just easier and more user friendly
I have relocked the bootloader, but i didnt change the fingerprint. I think i need to unlock again and change the bloody fingerprint then
Is not receiving OTAs the only downside to having a CN fingerprint on WW Rom?

Just noticed that im also getting that annoying Hardwarestub notification sayig the firmware doesnt match the device ANy ideas how to fix it?

You will not receive OTA updates once you've unlocked the bootloader. ASUS blacklists the device as soon as the device is initially unlocked, so even if you were to relock the bootloader, the device will never receive an OTA again. Thus, there has never been any way for a converted device to receive an OTA. The only update methods available are manual.

Sorry Abit of a noob question. I too recently got a ROG Phone 6 running CN rom. I want to change it to WW rom so I can use Google and all that. Is there a guide I can follow with the ROM?

ROG Phone 6/6Pro has been released for a while, I haven't found the raw.zip firmware for this phone, if anyone has the firmware for this phone, please upload it, thank you!
I will update the CN to WW method as soon as possible, the EDL firmware needs the ENG firmware before I can make it, and I will continue to wait.
22.07.26 I have found the firmware and am uploading to cloud disk.Including the raw firmware of CN and WW, and the EDL firmware, I also found it. Because I bought it with money, I will release the CN and WW firmware for free.
The EDL firmware will not be released for the time being. If it is helpful to you, please donate to me via paypal, thank you.
