ROM updates for Samsung Taylor SGH-i707?

So I'm wondering about this phone a friend offered to sell to me. It's a Samsung Taylor developer phone, so I have no idea which forum this goes into.
Will I be able to get software updates to the phone at all? Because right now the phone comes with the prototype ROM, so it can't record 720P. The camera is crap, some things like Facebook and Twitter don't work all the way. The marketplace isn't there. Its not stolen property because he is an independent developer and he says the phone served its purpose and he moved on to actual Win7 phones.
Any opinions? I asked my friend and he says he never tried looking for updated ROMs and he stopped using them after he got a focus.

connect it to zune and look for updates , there are beta updates for that phone (actually with a higher build number and copy/past) so I would say yes there are updates for .

I have a German Vodafone Optimus 7 that was used a couple of months by a software developer. I don't think it's running the latest (stable) build of WP7 however. When I check for updates with Zune it says that I'm up to date and the current version is: 7.0 (6536). Is this the latest version that every WP7 device is running? And if not, how come that my device doesn't get any updates?
Btw, Marketplace etc. just work fine on the device.

that is not a developer phone but a pre release , only the Samsung Taylor is a developer phone (and get beta updates )
you have to wait for the official update in 2011.

The LG Panther was a developer phone too I believe. Thanks for your reply, I'll be waiting for the january update just lik everyone else then

thanks , didn't know of the LG Panther .
ps, the latest official build is 7004.

In theory, the Taylor and Panther have updates to build 7003/7004, and they are available on the net (or if you ask the right friendly WP7 dev).
If you plug the device in to Zune, it should search for an update to 7003, though that might not happen.
73XX and above do also exist for the Taylor/Panther, but they're a lot harder to come by, and won't be coming out via Zune any time soon.
In theory, a dev device running 7003 will be able to do anything a release device running the same build (they wouldn't be much use as developer phones if they behaved differently) so I think updating the device should fix the issues you've got, though it'll never do 720p video, and the camera is terrible!

i dont think my friend's is even running the release. the market doesnt work and the live integration is blank. so if i have him get the update, basically i can upgrade it? awesome.

That sounds like an older build then, those are both working on the Taylor/Panther I've got.
Let me know if you need help finding an update.

I don´t know why but I have ROM 7006 installed on my Samsung Taylor, so diff packages from 7004 to 7008 won´t work. Asked lots of devs and MSFTies an no one seems to have ROM 7004 for the Taylor.
Any help?

Update is possible from rev. 7004 only, not from 7003 or 7006 (never heard about that revision).

I've tried from 7003 and failed.

I tried it with ROM 7006 and it also failed.

At what point is it failing?
Are you absolutely sure you're using the correct "ChevronWP7.Updater"?
The download link was pulled some time ago, so if you downloaded anything off of Chris's blog, it was the wrong updater.
Edit: I would post a link to the correct one, but all the mirrors were on megaupload...which is now gone

So, it may be fake... I received Sammy Taylor at August, 2010 and installed all updates MS sent to registered developers/partners but never heard about Taylor on 7004.

In my case, it fails when applying the diff packages, since they are all 7004-7008, adn my rom is 7006.
I have try to find info about the links to 7006-7008 packages with no success so far.

Mi A3 Global : DO NOT UPDATE!

Mi A3 Global : DO NOT UPDATE!
V11.0.3.0.QFQMXTC (not QFQMIXM one) is rolling out to the Mi A3 global users.
There was a serious bug in the latest update, so DO NOT UPDATE!!
#WARNING #ALERT #READ
This a warning to everyone who's using the stock ROM here: do NOT update your device to the latest build that shipped via OTA.
Apparently Xiaomeme has rolled out an incorrect build for our device. After flashing, it splashes "Telcel" logo (which is a Mexican carrier), and only SIM1 seems to work post update. If you see any updates, just ignore and do NOT flash.

Thank you! I was updating when I read your warning, now I have a paused update. Thinking about doing a factory reset to get rid of that. I'm starting to be seriously tired of these mistakes and faulty updates...
Thank you again for your advice.

That's why I switched to EU. As Xiaomi releases EU updates after global channel, these kind of mistakes are less likely to happen with EU builds.

What can I Do if i installed the Update?
Do you think xiaomi can fix it with a Update?

Can I block it somehow if the notification "Installation pending" is coming?

You probably don't realize the irony in that - "mocking" Xiaomi for stock Android and at the same time be proud in using their heavily modified Android OS (MIUI).

am not proud to use it, but its better to use it instead of using Xiaomeme so called stock rom that is full of bugs. actually that's not a rom they are providing, they are giving a lot of bugs with a small amount of rom ??

Well, wife already updated (we both have the A3). We're still locked (bootloader's), and I see Xiaomi is "WORKING FEVERISHLY" to rectify (Ha!).
My question is, is the consensus here of a hard/factory reset would correct this?

Hard reset will hardly help, the issue is related to incorrect ROM. You can either unlock bootloader (this will do a factory reset), flash the right ROM and relock the bootloader. Or just wait for the fix from Xiaomi, they will hopefully release it shortly.

Fix Update is there for those who get the wrong firmware.

It is fixed now with a new update... Stupid mistake on Xiaomi's part but at least they are quick to fix it.

Didn't received the bugued update but today I received the fixed update announcing the fix of dual sim bug.

Where Is The OxygenOS 10.0.0 for the OnePlus 5 and 5T?

I see that on the OnePlus forum it mentions a roll out udpate for Android 10, but I still have not seen this on my phone.

OnePlus... They didn't announce anything since their first release of Android 10 in May. In August FAQ OP5 isn't even mentioned anymore.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-7-2-7-1-1-ota-t3709265

Guys, even if you download the 9.0.11 build from https://www.oneplus.in/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1574156155944 and flash it, you shall see the OOS 10 update from system update. If not from system update then download the oxygen updater from play store.

Ok guys...
I'm just trying to figure out why I don't just get an update for it to the phone?
I thought by now everywhere in the world the update would be pushed to the phone already?
Are there still people not getting the update through the phone still OTA?
THANKS

Bite the bullet and manually update. I know it's a PITA; but, if there's no OTA for your phone and you want to upgrade to A10, just go for it. You'll be better off with a fresh install anyway.

Same situation in here. Waiting for Android 10 since May (when stable release rollout was announced).
Edit: I found way too many people talking about bugs on Android 10 (battery drain, fingerprint sensor delay, call recording bug). I'm not sure, but maybe staying on OOS 9.0.11 is the right call.
If someone in here is already on OOS 10, please comment on that. Thanks

Im on OOS 10, blu_spark kernel and very happy, if there are any bugs (there probably are), I don't notice them...

I had someone give me a reply on another post on XDA that 10.1 is coming OTA to the phone, so I'll hold out for now, I'm in no hurry...

Ok thanks

I suggest looking in the official OP5/T Android 10 announcement thread. Over 400 pages of complaints and questions and OP doesn't give a ****. The thread is like a disaster area. The first Android 10 update was pulled because of that many bugs. Shortly after they pushed the update again with some hotfixes but with the same version number and without announcement. Then they pulled it again.
Maybe in the next 1-2 weeks there will be an update with some fixes and a more recent security patch. Hopefully not only June like in hydrogen OS but I don't expect much to be honest. I'm almost done with OP

btw I installed OOS 10.0.0 and rooted (to install dotfix + Gcam) and I'm pretty happy with it.
also, google pay stopped working after root. I guess I'll live without it since dotfix is really worth it IMHO.

Question Android 13 - Developer Preview 1

There are OTA's available as well.
Is anyone brave enough to try it? Is anyone on it? I am considering side loading it.
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-download-android-13/

If they are planning on it being beta by April it shouldn't be all that bad but I'm probably gonna wait until at least the next build. 12 to 13 isn't as huge a leap as it was from 11 to 12 so I'm guessing/hoping it won't be as buggy as early 12 builds. I'm sure someone will take the plunge to determine if it can be rooted or not.

oh my god xD google is trolling us....android 12,android 12 L,now android 13...what the ****! xDDDDD

Well 12L comes out next month officially. No more Android 12 updates.
Hopefully someone takes the plunge. I don't mind doing installing it to do bug reports to ensure the beta is a fun experience.
I want to know if the OTA works, scared to be the first to try as google doesnt even offer the ota on their website. Who will be the brave soul?

According to some people, A12L has the best modem update, A13 has the newest kernel.
Maybe in the future we best just mix all three branches together, creating the best Android.

It was already making me think of Windows 98 Millenium edition - the notorious user mix and match of the horrible Windows ME and the less horrible Windows 98.

ok root is working fine on A13, no problem. This is the kernel and baseband versions

Looking at the dates 220205 - Android 12L and 220114 - Android 13, it appears that this build of Android 13 is older than the 12L update. February 5th vs January 14th.. Thoughts? Anyone see how the modem works?

With the bootloader unlocked you can flash anything you like. What happens when you do, no one call tell, though. Might work, might not, the possibility of boot loop...

You sure it's build/A13 related? Have you tried out another phone at the same location where your A13 device is?
I've had a mountain of NordVPN connection problems in the most recent months and have troubleshooted so much, even though in the end it was just caused by bad/weak servers, meaning after connecting to new ones it was "solved" - so if you use a VPN, mind that.
