HI everybody. I live in Italy, I have the 16GB variant of Xperia M4 Aqua (E2333) bought from Amazon.fr, SIM free.
Now I'm stuck with lollipop.
Last week was released the official MM update both in France (16GB variants) both in Italy (8GB) variants (16GB variants are not sold in Italy).
I received an email with the notification of the new software release, but if I check into settings/devicesinfo/softwareupdate no ota available.
If I connect my phone to Pc, Xperia companion says "up to date", also if I check via IMEI it says i have the latest software available.
I updated my phone several times since I bought it, minor updates, I received them almost instantly after the official rollout.
It seems strange to me. Anyone else facing this problem?
Hi, my phone behaves the same (dual-sim 16GB). I'm in Czech Republic and have bought it in French e-shop. I've heard, that it won't be released at once for all the users. So maybe it's still yet to come.
Same here.
Live in Belgium.
Bought E2333 through expansys.fr.
Still no update, not OTA, not through companion on windows
> 1,5GB free (I saw somewhere you need at least 500mb free storage)
Battery mostly > 80% (thought that some updates don't show up on low battery).
So I try to keep my xperia in optimal status to receive the update...
I've also noticed that all articles I've seen about the upgrade mention version 26.3.A.0.131, but for E2333 we need 26.3.B.0.131.
I wanted to post a link, but the forum rules don't let me until I have 10 posts. However open source archives are available for download on sony developer world. In description there is:
Open source download for Xperia M4 Aqua (E2303, E2353, E2306); software version 26.3.A.0.131. And Xperia M4 Aqua Dual (E2333, E2363, E2312); software version 26.3.B.0.131.

guys the only and the best solution for your problem is to flash the MM update with flashtool i will make it now
go to this link and download the model of your mobile
http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/stock-xperia-m4-aqua-xperia-m4-aqua-t3422263
and flash it with the FlashTool program it`s easy way you can just see how on Youtube ^_^
I'm in the US, but have a Samsung Galaxy S9+ SM-G9650/DS unlocked "International Version" bought from Amazon, running firmware G9650ZCU3ARK1, which I believe means it's Region "Open China" and uses Snapdragon not Exynos. I want to upgrade Android Oreo to Android 9 Pie, and there's no schedule given for availability of the upgrade for this config/region.
I'm with T-Mobile and I think I can flash G960USQS3BRK2, which is for Region "TMK USA", and convert the phone to a US version, thereafter allowing upgrade to Android 9 Pie in January 2019. And I'd prefer to have a US phone anyway.
My basic question is whether my plan will work, and/or, are there any gotchas I need to know about
(S9 vs S9+, Snapdragon vs Exynos, locked/unlocked, T-Mobile vs Samsung Experience, some apps might not work, etc)?
Thx, Gus
Hi.
There's a thread regarding this topic in this forum. As far as I've read and understood, the short answer to your question is no, it's not possible to flash the beta on our devices. We, G9650 owners (excluding China users), will most likely have to wait until the stable version releases in January. :crying:
I'm not thinking of flashing the Beta, but the release version when it comes out in January - G
Hi,
I just purchased a brand new Honor 20 pro model YAL-L41 in France.
I searched for updates and it did update to the December 2019 Android 9.1.
I searched for updates again, and now it says that my system is up to date.
I don't get this. My daughter, also located in France, has had the same phone for over six months and received the ota update to magic 3 / Android 10 two or three months ago.
How come I don't get this update now with a new device?
How can I update my Honor 20 pro to Magic 3 / Android 10?

I know it doesn't answer your question, but my device just updated to 3.0.0 on May 21th.
I'm disappointed, as the update removed the zoom lens on low light or night time. Watch out. I wish I didn't update.
There is a way.

Hi!
I was stuck on the same problem, but found a way around it on some site (don't remember which). So the global one is apparently only up to 9.1. The Chinese one, however, is receiving updates. So although you might not get updates automatically, you can still manually update using this app. ("This app" was supposed to point to a link to an app, but apparently I'm a "new user" so I can't post links yet. It's called "Firmware Finder for Huawei" and its on the Play Store. ). It does not require root or anything, just follow the in-app instructions. I find that the router method is easier and doesn't pose any problems. It just requires access to the router's settings. This app is linked directly to Huawei and Honor's official repository. When I used it, I did not experience any data loss, but as usual back up your stuff. Just be sure to read all the instructions.
Good luck!
I've had my Pixel 6 for less than a month, bought it in Canada and updated in November to SD1A.210817.037, then rooted with Magisk. All is fine.
Now, I'm in Mexico with it, on Telcel, and the December updates have come out, but I have no idea which one to flash. Does anyone know?
The options are:
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A1, Dec 2021)
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A4, Dec 2021, EMEA carriers) *** I'm pretty confident it's not this one***
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.017, Dec 2021, US carriers)
I'm thinking that it's the first option, but I'm not sure...
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.017, Dec 2021, US carriers) <--- I used this since T-Mobile is a US carrier
Probably for you, your best option is to flash the first option
I'm asking myself the same question. I've a Canadian model too. Once I bought it I flashed "12.0.0 (SD1A.210817.019.C2, Oct 2021, T-Mobile (US), USCC, Google Fi, CA, & TW carriers)" with magisk. I didn't even update to the November one because I wasn't sure, but I would like to do this one and see if that solve some bugs that I have. I just would like to be sure about the first option (which would make sence).

Thank you friend
sorry y'all. Im in California, bought my P6P unlocked from Google directly. Should I use the 1st one (or the US carrier one (3rd)?
Thanks very much!
I think I'm gona wait a little bit more before updating. On another post many said that they lost root and magisk doesn't seem to work on the new update at the current state.

I know that the right thing to do is to wait, but... well... ok, I'll wait :-|

Sure, it's a post that explain how to update without losing root.
Method to upgrade every month, without wiping data and retaining root
Caution: I originally wrote this guide when it was necessary to disable verity and verification before flashing patched boot.img. Now Magisk has overcome this requirement and some users have reportedly flashed updates without disabling...
forum.xda-developers.com
But most recent posts says they wont keep root after the update. Saw the same reports on a Telegram and a discord server.
I'm wondering the same thing as well. I'm running Mint Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO) on an Unlocked P6P in the US. I assume the US Carriers is the one I need to flash but I'm not positive.
I'm getting corrupted data and stuck on google screen can anyone assist?
Does anyone know what is the difference between 12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A4, Dec 2021, EMEA carriers)
and the A1 version ?
I have a Pixel 6 bought from the German Google Store and it received the December update, but it automatically installed the A1 version, which the support page says is for Canada.
I have not put a SIM in it yet, but it is in Europe.
Why did it not update to the A4 (EMEA Carriers) version ?, which is supposed to be for UK, IE, FR, DE.
And which EMEA carriers are we talking about, only from these countries: UK, IE, FR, DE, or also other from Europe ?
I wonder if I can install the A4 full OTA package over the A1 version ?

Check the support page again -- it's been updated and now says the 016.A1 version is the global unlocked version. I was told something similar by a Google chat rep through the in-phone support function.
You're on the right build.
I'm in the US. Google is telling me I can be either on SQ1D.211205.016.A1 or SQ1D.211205.017. Doesn't seem like a reliable answer. I have an unlocked P6P and I'm on Verizon. Did anyone get a clear answer?
This is nuts.
Why would Google not have one image that adapts to the carrier in-play? After all, folk can change carriers/regions during the life of their phone. What happens then? The phone doesn't work properly until it somehow figures out it needs a different image and then somehow flips to it?
What about if you temporarily travel to a different region and roam onto a different operator? Is your phone not 'right for that region' and doesn't work properly?
So do these different images relate to different hardware variances of the phone?

I don't think anyone knows at this point. There are some major issues with network connectivity some are blaming on the December update and some are saying ongoing from previous builds. I'm in the latter group. They will have to come out with a new update sooner rather than later since this is widespread across the globe.

Magisk is running perfect on the december update. And no problems with 4G ,, I did a clean install on de December update.
Used the A1 version and no problems at all.

Hmm, looks interesting. i have a spare Nexus device, so i can easily try it.
ok i've successfully updated SQ1D.211205.016.A4 (EMEA) over SQ1D.211205.016.A1 (global) using full ota. Storeage remains intact. Sim works (Spusu / Austria / Sub carrier using Hutchison Drei Austria).
But upgrading to SQ1D.211205.017 failed with "Build newer than timestamp 1638904347 but package has timestamp 1638280743 and downgrade not allowed". The same if you try to revert back to .A1 Image, so you have to unlock the bootloader and reflash the stock image. Of Course, all data will be lost.

Yeah, I did it yesterday too. i was waiting for a Magisk-Alpha update before, which we got yesterday. I need this one specially for Denylist to work without zygisk.
