T-Mobile 7t doesn't receive updates - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

So I bought an used T-Mobile locked 7t and it appeared that it was still on the October 2019 10.03 firmware. I clicked into check for updates and it says "your phone is up to date". Anyone had this issue before? Thanks

Yes, you ran into the infamous bug in the initial ROM released with the HD1925 (T-Mobile exclusive 5G McLaren). That bug was if the bootloader was used to factory default a phone, rather than using the OxygenOS Settings reset feature, an important file for OTA validation was also erased. Meaning unless one corrects this issue manually the phone would never receive another OTA update.
Fortunately there have been some that worked very hard to correct the issue, see the link below.

Notification to update to 7.1.2 while already on 7.1.2?

I just received an OTA notification on my pixel XL to update to 7.1.2, although I'm already on 7.1.2. I have a Google store device, and I flashed the current 7.1.2 build N2G47E when it became available. The OTA says it is 17.6 MB and I am using it on Verizon. What would this update even do?
Capture the URL for it ?

This happened to me. I have a Verizon version dePixel8 and sideloaded E build a few days ago. Today I got the update message and it upgraded to K in about 2 minutes.
Gather this is for the Verizon models?

It's an update specifically for the Verizon Pixels. It contains a number of bug fixes and improvements according to the release info. A simple Google search will locate more info including the specifics of the bug fixes and improvements.
So this OTA will update my Google store device to the Verizon build? Weird. I'll just flash the whole build later.
So, after applying this update - what build does it show?
Just flashed the OTA. It does indeed update Google Store devices to the Verizon build of 7.1.2, NHG47K. Looking in the OTA zip, the update may only affect the system and vendor partitions.
I had this happen after I flashed the January build I think it was. I have a play store pixel on vzw and it was trying to update my regular stock rom the vzw-specific version. It sounds like if you're on vzw service then you'd benefit from their improvements. I'm waiting for beans to update his rom before I update from 7.1.1. I just hope it includes these vzw changes.
It would be nice to know what changed. I, for one, would rather not be bothered with the Verizon version of the OTA. I don't want any of the apps, bloat, etc that they're surely going to try pushing. There is a reason I bought from Google and not Verizon.
The only difference between the VZ model and the Google model is the VZ model has a locked bootloader. If you put a VZ Sim in either one it will install 3 apps that you can uninstall completely, not just disable.

I put it on my Google phone since it has a different radio for Verizon. There is no extra bloat or anyrhing, just like there wasnt when the phone first came out. The image is from google, the updates are from Google. None of that is going to happen. Except for the bootloader VZ is playing by Google's rules on this phone.
Google makes carrier specific images all the time. This is no big deal.

Thanks for playing the guinea pig. Good to know nothing obvious was added in terms of bloat.
With that being said, that Pixel update is handed to Verizon to "test and certify". Then it is sent to the Pixels. Verizon only promised to not delay updates. They may still add apps, bloat, etc... Should they so choose.
Added information:
Google Store Pixel XL: Unlocked since 7.0.1, shows unlocked, and the bar is flipped to the right (as in enabled) but is overall greyed out after "K" update.
Verizon Purchased Pixel XL: Unlocked since 7.0.1, shows unlocked, and the bar is flipped to the left (as in disabled) but is overall greyed out after "K" update.
Not sure what this means. If anything, I found it interesting. Once it's unlocked, unless I submit a relock, it can't be relocked by OTA right?
Found this thread in a search. I have a playstore pixel xl unlocked bootloader, stock root on verizon. I sideloaded 7.1.2 build N2G47E. After sideload the system update still shows. Before re-rooting I tried to install it but it always comes back "Couldn't update, installation problem". I verified that the sideload installed and am in fact on N2G47E.
I even reset the phone, locked the bootloader and it still failed. I have since unlocked & re-rooted running stock. Update still shows and still fails. I've turned off auto updates so it only happens if I manually check and try to install. Other than this the phone is running fantastic.
Should I sideload the verizon ota build? I know I'll loose root but want to make sure bootloader stays unlocked and can re-root after moving to Verizon build. Can anyone confirm this? Post above seems to confirm the bootloader stays unlocked but doesn't mention root. Btw to root I am not flashing twrp, just fastboot to it and flash su.

Hello,
You bought a Google version, you are fine. You can sideload Verizon's OTA if you are on Verizon's network. Otherwise, no benefits...
Even true Verizon's unlocked Pixel owners, as long as they don't lock bootloader, it will stay unlocked, no matter what they flash FYI.
You can install SU with fastboot boot twrp as well.
Cheers...
Worked great thanks!

T-mobile June security (NKG47L) update no VoLTE or Wifi-calling

Has anyone flashed the NKG47L June Security update for Tmobile/Fi Carriers to their Pixel? If so, did you lose VoLTE or Wifi Calling or both?
Wifi Calling and VoLTE were working fine on N2G47O and then I flashed the NKG47L OTA to my Pixel, which I am using with T-mobile, and I can no longer make a call without dropping to HSPA, and calls will not be made over wifi anymore.
Because you said you flashed the OTA I'm going to assume you didn't wipe your phone, so I would try doing that first after backing up all your data.
If that doesn't fix it then I would try flashing NJH47B and seeing if that solves it. NJH47B has the same radio and modem images as N2G47O.
Was going to leave a comment to you on reddit but felt like it would do more help here.

thanks for the reply.
I have a Verizon Pixel that I am using on Tmobile, so it wont let me unlock the bootloader to flash another image. I cant flash the OTA for NJH47B because it says its older than my current baseband.
just wondering if anyone else has the same problem so I can know if its my phone or the update.

I'm waiting for the OTA I'd rather not sideload. I'm in the same position as you are, Project Fi, Verizon locked phone. I'll let you know once they push the update.
edit: I just thought that this might be the reason the OTA hasn't gone out yet? Perhaps they are working this out before they push it. Be interesting to see if anyone else that sideloaded has this issue. Can you post the reddit thread for perusal?

Works normal for me, on Fi on T-Mo.
I'm on T-Mobile and turned off WiFi calling several months ago because incoming callers didn't hear a ring on their end and would hang up before I could answer. Can anyone verify if this is working on the latest release?

Still waiting for the ota also, patiently
It appears to be fixed in the June update... for me at least. (After data wipe) Everyone used to complain about not hearing a ring when they called me while wifi calling was enabled. They now tell me that it's ringing when they call.
As far as the volte and wifi calling issue I had, a factory wipe fixed it. Sux that I had to do it, but it's working properly now on NKG47L

Okay good news I got the notice for the ota today by going into settings and manually clicking check for system updates. It's there but won't let me download it with my data, says to connect to wifi to download and install. But after June 15th it will let you download with data?
Verizon Pixel XL, but switched to T-Mobile, due to then saying their device was unlocked as well. Still on the May 2017 security patch though. Never received an OTA update for the June security patch. It's now July 4th. Anyone have the same problem? Anyone know how to fix it without having to sideload?
TBG3,
I'm having the same issue. I spoke with Google two days ago and the tech said that they hadn't pushed all of the June security updates out yet. I questioned him on that because it's now July. I asked him why hadn't all of Junes updates been pushed through? No logical answer was given. I'm hoping to receive an update for July.

Moto Z2 Force not getting OTA updates

I have a ATT branded Moto Z2 with a Cricket SIM. I got the phone in late november, and it came with Android 7.1.1 with the June 1 SPL. I know that ATT has released several updates, the latest in December with the November 1st SPL,
but everytime I check for updates it says that my phone is up-to-date.
So far I tried to check for updates after a factory reset, and also tried to do an OTA update with an old ATT SIM in it. Nothing seems to be working.
I have posted on the lenovo support page but so far I have not got any answer. I am not the guy that has to have the latest software running, but the updates fixed the BlueBorne security hole...
Othat than using a Cricket SIM, the phone is stock, not rooted.
has anybody encountered the same problem? Thank you
So I have two Tmobile versions of this phone. one rooted/unlocked, one not. I am also having a problem with receiving OTA. Mine stock device is on an August Security patch and there have been two released patches since then. I just got off the phone with both motorola and tmobile and they are both useless. I explained over and over that i wasn't calling about the oreo release, that i was calling about ANY updates and they couldn't get that through their head. Further, tmobile states they haven't released an 8.0 ota which we all know is false since several people on this forum have received it.... very frustrating. I may have to unlock my stock device if I ever want an actual update.

What OTA for Tmobile? Mine has NCX26. 7 as stated in Tmobile support site, I do know that OCX oreo release is suppose to be live but support site doesn't show it andy phone hasn't gotten it.
Found a way to get it to download updates.
So, after wasting my time with Motorola and ATT so-called "technical support", I decided to try something: I rebooted the phone in recovery mode (VOlume down + Power button) and put it in recovery mode. Rebooted from recovery mode, and bingo, it downloaded the next update (September SPL). It now shows "background installation..." in progress. Hopefully this is going to be the solution.
I did the update manually using the file nash_opx 27.109-34_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC. Xml. zip and it worked perfectly.

I think I may have found the right recipe. The trick is to check for updates while NOT on WiFi. So move away from WiFi coverage, but still within Cell coverage, with Data on. Check for updates. It will say that an update is available and will be download when within WiFi range. Move back to where you have WiFi, and bingo, it will start downloading. I did it twice yesterday afternoon, once to go from the Sept to the Oct SPL, and then from the Oct SPL to the Nov SPL, which is the last available update according to the ATT page. All of this with my Cricket SIM. WHy this works is beyond my pay grade to figure out. I will eagerly wait for the next update to be posted to see if this trick works consistently. Again,
this seems to work with my ATT branded phone.
My ATT Z2 force, starting from last evening (1/24/2018), kept getting security update, from September, 2017. Then this morning, October 2017 and November 2017. Does this mean we are going to get Oreo update soon ?
So I've had my Moto zforce 2 for 3 days now. We're is the Oreo update ? T-Mobiles site says it was released Dec 22nd ?

Anyone on TMobile receive the ota update ?
There are issues with calling and sms on the T-Mobile variant. The update has been pulled while they sort out the issues.
Well that makes sense why I'm not seeing it then.
I am still not able to get the AT&T update past June. I tried the reboot into recovery and nothing. Is there a way to manually install the update from an SD card which would allow for OTA updates in the future?

Good. On my account we got 2 of them for Christmas. A few days after Christmas, one of them updated to Oreo. At this point, the Galaxy S7 Edge on our account could not hear the Z2 Force. Went through everything with T-Mobile support including network settings reset, factory resetting both the Samsung and Motorola phones. Didn't fix it. Meanwhile, the Z2 Force that was still on Nougat was fine. A few days later, it also updated to Oreo, and now neither Z2 Force can be heard on the Samsung. I hope they get this mess cleaned up soon since it's been a month.
It seems to be only between those two phones. Until the next update/patch is released, the workaround is to disable VoLTE in call settings on the z2.
Got AT&T update to 8.0.0 this morning.
I received notice of the Tmobile Oreo update, downloaded it, but cannot install it. It only says something went wrong and didn't install the update. I have the bootloader unlocked and Magisk installed. I followed the instructions for Magisk dual partition updates. I uninstalled Magisk using Restore Images and did not reboot. I went to System Updates and downloaded the update again. It never went to Security Update Installing, step 1. I am on Magisk v 16.0 which passes the SafetyNet check, ctsProfile: true and basicIntegity: true. At this point, should I completely uninstall Magisk, flash the OreoFlashAll.zip or the NASH_TMO_C_OCX27.109-36_subsidy-TMO-regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip? Or something different?

AT&T S9 will not update to September Security update

I just got an S9 and have not been able to get it to apply all of the available updates. When I check for updates, it says that I have the latest one already. I tried the Smart Switch software and that says I am also up to date. I cleared the cache partition and then set the date to one day ahead and checked for updates. It took a few minutes checking but then it finished and said I was up to date.
My previous phone was an S8 and that phone had issues updating too. I had to go to ubreakifix to have them update the phone when Android 8 became available. After that update, my S8 never got an OTA again.
I fear that this S9 is having the same problem. I even activated the new S9 with a new sim card. I also verified that AT&T sees that I have an S9.
Anyone know what is going on? Anything else I can do to get it to update? I am currently on the previous version with baseband G960USQS3ARG8.

If you just got it, give it a week or so.
There was an S9+ that was added on another line within my account at the same time and it got all the updates right away. Hopefully time will fix mine but right now I doubt it.

Did you ever flash this to U1 Firmware? I had a similar issue when i decided to go back to U firmware. Ended up having to to revert back to an old version of U and then proceed with side loading updates from firmware science until the BR firmware (side note, the firmware i found on here to revert back to stock U did not have a direct upgrade path on Firmware science) then AT&T started updating as normal.
I have not flashed anything. This is new out of the box.
Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
I would take it back to AT&T.
My previous phone did the same thing which is odd. I can't see why two consecutive new phones would not update for me. Is there a way I can download the update from AT&T and sideload it without having to reinstall everything?

I applied the next update from there and while it updated, it wiped my phone. now to spend a few hours again resetting everything up. i thought this wasn't supposed to wipe my phone?
Don't bother setting up your phone until you're all caught up with updates. I learned that the hard way. Just skip all the setup stuff after connecting to WiFi, then check for updates. Go back to the firmware science site if there are none available. I'm on 3BRJ6 with a November 1st security patch. This one was an OTA update after manually installing 3 or 4 from the firmware science site.
P.S. Under settings-about phone-software information do you show ATT/ATT/ATT at the bottom of the Service Provider SW ver.?

The problem with it resetting my phone is that if still continue to not receive ota updates directly, I'll never update again since I wouldn't want to reset again. As for the fw, I do see Att/att/att.
I updated up to the October security patch to see if it would offer the Nov security patch and my phone still won't offer ota updates.

Does your phone show the blue AT&T logo during boot up? Does it have all the AT&T bloatware?
Yup, it's an Att branded phone. I bought from Best buy. Came in Att box, has all the bloatware too.

Then I go back to my initial recommendation that you return it. I would also consider asking AT&T if there is some way to wipe your account data clean before activating a new phone and make sure you get a new sim card.

This has already been fixed, updating to stock Android 10. The first release had the battery issue and was hard bricking the a70, samsung suspended the update and rolled out a new fixed android 10 update. Alls good now.

Im saying, the issue with pcb is fixed. Try downloading the update now and flash. Fyi, you cant downgrade from 10 to 9 once you have updated to 10. Samsungs efuse will be triggered. It's been said that a device affected with the PCB bug is hardbricked, however, that is not entirely true.

This was for people who might have bricked their devices and are looking for a workaround to successfully fix bootloop boot (same happened to me)
Since due to lookdown a lot of us can't visit customer support for same.
FYI officially you can downgrade without breaking efuse

Efuse is popped during an update not a downgrade. Idk if ota pops it but i know updating with odin sure does and no, once the efuse is provisioned, there is no going back. If you or anyone else has found a way besides opening the device and making jumpers, please explain or provide links.
Device never went to 10 since the update with 10 has this error to ppl can still switch back to 9 hassle-free.
Thx for heads up!
Overall, Android 10 upgrade was a big disappointment for me, and pushed towards rooting it first, and then to installing LineageOS 17.1.
So, after rooting I disabled auto updates as I knew things can go bad.
But now I'm lucky LOS user!
I flashed my A705MN using Odin to get around the bootloop and it worked but now my wifi and bluetooth doesn't turn on. -_- I'm kinda new at this flashing business. How can I activate them both again?

Not good yet ;
I did some research with certified service centres this problem can't be fixed with software though it can be fixed with as a manual upgradation of PCB board is required

If still error do following
Are you sure abt manufacturing unit place of origin is India it's fine ... Still if you used HOMECSC and it worked
you need to format it first thing in​
If not manufactured in India Search for country origin specific file ... for odin flash
Why does this count as "development"?

Idk maybe it cuz the bug is related to PCB bridge code error in software which might be fixed with either downgrading FW ver or Hardware upgradation...
