Thanks helpful

yes！im on stock 4.4.4 right now！
Do you have a sim card in? I have the Verizon z2 LTE tablet and you cannot update without both WiFi and a sim card inserted.
It's not even downloading? Or it just won't install?

Hi,
Will it work if using Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant via PC without Verizon SIM ? I'm currently not in the US right now. No Verizon SIM card here.

I really dont know. That is the same error I got when I first got the z2 tablet. Reading up I found if I had both my phones sim in and on WiFi it would update from 4.4.4 to the z2's tablets official 5.0.2. When they released 5.1.1 I had to do the same thing again.
I've had it happen but it cleared up on its own. Just make sure you are bone stock and reenable Amy disabled apps.

After I rooted 4.4.4. along with 5.1.1. and reverted to stock, 4.4.4 I also had issues receiving updates. I had to reflash the stock ftf files 3-5 times repeatedly, checking after each reflash if I could get the updates. Also, make sure to configure wifi, along with having your sim enabled. The first update, which is minor, appears to require wifi. The other updates will apply with or without wifi in my experience.
solved

hello.
i use to have the same problem with this phone!! i had two of them (xperia z3v)
now i been able to get android 5.1.1 with the next steps:
1.-download the Xperia Companion
2.-you have to save any data of your phone (video, fotos, music)
3.-open xperia companion and select "software repair" ans then the option that says "here"
4.-follow the steps until it told you to power off your phone
5.-then press and hold the volume down key and plug it with the USB still holding the botton
6.-then you just have to wait until is done, it will take a while (but it only was with the first phone, the second was very quick)
7.-then you have to power on your phone (this will take more than the regular but it is normal)
8.-now you have android 5.1.1 and you have to put your gmail acount again
greetings

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S3 (I9300), and recently encrypted the device to enable to me to use my employer's exchange email service (NHS.net). The encryption process went without issue and my phone has been working normally since (about 2 weeks). However I have now received a message for a 170Kb OTA firmware update for the phone. When I click "Update now" is says the following:
Unable to update new software. Device is encrypted. Decrypt?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I click OK it takes me to the "Security and lock screen" sub-menu in settings. In here the "Encrypt device" button is greyed out (as expected) and there seems to be nothing more to do. The update does not proceed. If I click cancel the device re-prompts me later anyway.
The problem is that my device keeps on prompting me to update with my only two options either to proceed as above (and get nowhere) OR postpone the update for up to 3 hours and get prompted again.
So now I am trapped in a situation where my device is nagging me to update but gives me no way to do so. As far as I am aware, encryption of an android device is irreversible without a factory reset so I am confused as to why the firmware update even asks for it?
Am I missing something here or is this a crappily designed security update from Samsung? I really don't want to have to factory reset my device then re-download all my software AND re-encrypt my device to use my email for a 170kb update; especially if this will happen again!
Any advice would be much appreciated,
Thanks

Hi,
Tried Samsung Kies repeatedly; it downloads the update and then during the "Firmware upgrade in progress" times out after an hour.
Looks like I am the only person experiencing this problem; may have to factory reset the device after all.

You are not the only one, I am experiencing the exact same problem with encrypted device and not being able to install updates.
So far I have not been able to find a solution.
Manually apply OTA updates is in testing and a few have got it to work: I cant post a link but I did a search on these forums and found a tread about it.
Hope we can find the answer
Encrypted GALAXY S3 update
I am experiencing the exact same problem with encrypted device and not being able to install updates as my device is encrypted due to the Exchange! Hope someone already solved this issue? TIA

Same problem here. I would appreciate any idea. OTA updates usually work fine with my Asus Transformer, so this should be a Samsung related problem.

Update: For my phone, it actually seems possible to decrypt the device via the Security Menu. Samsungs support told me that this has to be done before the update can be installed....
I was also getting this a few weeks ago but when I connected to my pc and ran the update through Kies it updated without having to decrypt first
I've now removed my exchange connection to nhs.net and decrypted so unable to test

I realize this thread is a little old but i'll reply anyway. I've seen on other forums that your enterprise email is causing the issue. You have to remove your enterprise email/exchange acct in order to decrypt the device. Once removed, the option to decrypt should be available. You may then accept the OTA. Your phone is only doing what it's told to do by the exchange server. It might be a ***** to remove the account but i think it would still be easier than a factory reset.

Thanks for the post haddy17. We have investigated that option but when you're working with potentially thousands of staff/employees, it's a tad cumbersome to have them remove, upgrade, reconfigure. If it were just me, it would be fine. We're currently trying to get a response from Samsung and while we have made some progress, it's not clear where the end may be...
You are probably using Exchange servers? One way could be to change ActiveSync policy to not require encryption on device. This is selectable feature. Or maybe create two policies and move clients between them from request of user.
There are still shortcomings what comes to corporate security and Android mobiles (well there are issues on other platforms too)
I have a weird situation. My Mobile Data quit working after installing the KitKat update. My DNA is S-off and rooted and has been flashed to Straight Talk and uses Verizon towers in CDMA mode. I did this because Verizon has the best coverage in my area. I also work a lot in Mexico and I recently got this DNA so I could get a TelCel SIM card and use the phone in GSM mode when I'm at work. I was running 4.2.2 prior to the update. Since I was unable to take the OTA update, I flashed the stock firmware and ROM from Santod040 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560010). After the updates my phone says Mobile Data is Disconnected. It is still showing CDMA mode and I am able to make and receive phone calls normally, just no internet. Anyone have any idea what I need to do to get Mobile Data working?
Do you have "turn off mobile data after long periods of inactivity" enabled? I tried that and lost data, disabled and data came back.

I did have that enabled prior to the update and never had any problems losing data. Since the update I have tried it on and off with no difference. I have also tried turning mobile data and airplane mode on and off with no change.
Another thing that is different since the update is that now when I turn my phone on, I get a message that pops up saying that there is no SIM card detected and that a SIM is required for the phone to operate.

Try putting a layer of clear tape on the backside of the sim card to see if it helps. If it does call HTC , they will send a new sim card tray. Known problem with this device. Also flash the latest radio.

I flashed the latest firmware that included the radio when I flashed the ROM. As far as the SIM tray goes, I don't use a SIM card, I am operating the phone in CDMA mode. I didn't start getting the SIM card message until I flashed the KitKat ROM.
bump, im having the same issue. viper 4.1.0 sense 6 kitkat 4.4.2. data disconnects randomly and have to reboot to get data back on. data only works for about 5mins after. no other issues. i have flashed the latest radio and twrp 6. ive tried flashing the latest hboot but i cant get it to work. wondering if thats the issue. had the same problem with viper 3.5.0 sense 5.5. any help appreciated.

As I said before, my phone has been flashed to Straight Talk's CDMA network so I don't require a SIM. I hadn't been able to find a fix to the Mobile Data problem so I tried calling the OTA number to reprogram the phone to hopefully fix any settings that might be messed up. I had been able to make calls without any issues, except strangely it kept telling me that the phone required a SIM card to operate only when I tried the OTA number. I decided to spend $7 on a Straight Talk SIM card thinking that it would see the SIM card and allow me to call the OTA number. I popped in the SIM card and Mobile Data immediately started working. I never called the OTA number or did anything to activate the SIM. Weird!!!
I have Verizon and I've always had my SIM card. I have no issues calling or getting calls/texts. Just mobile data. It Also seems really slow. I'm used to at minimum 10mb down 5mb up. I'm lucky if I get 10% of that now. That is if I can connect. I had to reload this page 3 times to get it to work.
Ok my phone is beyond f*cked up. I've tried going back to viper 1.3.5 I've flashed recovery and hboot and radio every which way but I can't get my data to work. When it does work I compared it to my wife's dl speed. Mine is 1.6 mb down. 1.2mb up. Wife's gs4 24mb down 22mb up. Tried multiple times same each time. Even on WiFi. Mines 3mb down 1.5mb up. Wife's 26mb down 16mb up. I'm back on viper 3.5.0 sense 5.5 because it seems to actually work occasionally. I've also went completely stock and still having same issue. Any help appreciated.
No one knows how to fix this? I've wiped everything and did a clean flash like I always do to sense 5 stock via ruu. Flashed twrp 6 beta. Then fastboot flashed hboot 4.09 and radio 4.09 and then sjdeloaded nusensesix. Still have horrible/nonexistent data and horrible WiFi speeds. Is there no way to fix this? Do I have to smash my phone and pay $100 to get it replaced? I'd rather not. I'm willing to donate to developers if you can he'll me fix this. I don't do dirty flashes ever. Always clean. Idk how to md5 check but dl and flashing multiple times I doubt that's the issue. I've tried fixing permissions. I've gone completely stock and still have same issue. Only sense 5 stock since I can't find sense 4stock. ive tried viper 1.3.5 3.5.0 4.1.0 and nusensesix. Same all around. Any help appreciated.
Could be your radio partitions are courpted. Read up in this link to reset the partitions. Just make sure you back up your important data as this requires a factory reset, with stock recovery, which wipes the device.

You may have to read back a few pages to get an understanding. Anyway just follow santod40 instructions and you should be fine.

Bringing this back to the Q/A thread so as not to flood the other thread with questions. When you say you swapped SIM cards, did you swap just the card or both the card and tray. Try swapping both card and tray from your wife's phone to yours and see what happens. If it's the same results then most likely your phone is the culprit, if you get good data it's the SIM tray and you can order another one.
ok ive tried RUU again using the exe program and running as administrator. it keeps stopping at 6%(checking header..............) it wont go anymore. i already relocked the device, the thread is closed so i cant post in it...

Been having this problem for a bit. Just removed SIM, blew out with compressed air, cleaned SIM and reinstalled. If it happens again I will try the clear packing tape on the back of the SIM.
The Mini M8S TV Box is a new budget box running Android 5.1 with the Amlogic S905 and 2GB of Ram.
Review:
Mod Edit: Link leading to affiliate sales links removed
Hello,
it coming with root or how it can be rooted?
Thank you.
The Mini M8S is very intriguing. SD card, Bluetooth, and 2 GB RAM. Just need to find it from a reputable retailer online, since I'm probably going to stay away from Gearbest. Would like to know if this box can be wiped and installed with a vanilla Android OS. Would like to start from scratch and not be running any of their pre-installed junk.
Also kind of a bummer this doesn't do 5G wifi. I would think that all the newer boxes would include it. It's got everything else I'm looking for in a budget Kodi box.

Hi to all. Does anyone know how to reflash the rom in case we need to do so? The device is rooted. A bad apk may cause harm. Where can we find the rom to reflash if this happens?
I've also got e of these but is giving me problems with failed updates and random reboots. Could do with reflashing to see if this solves the problem but I have no idea as to where to get the files from for this device. Anyone know?
Or is there a different firmware I can try?

Question:
Where can I download firmware updates?
Reply::
Hello Bryan,
Please kindly send us e-mail to http://www.gearbest.com/about/contact-us.html. Then we will contact our supplier to ask for the update firmware.
This box is very nice, here are some details:
There is a small hole underneath for the reset button; you can use a toothpick to hold the button while you insert the power. This will give you access to recovery.
Looking at traffic flow I can see it connects to fota4.adups.cn to determine if there is a new update and downloads the updates from: hwfotadown.mayitek.com
Here is the latest patch as of this writing:
http://hwfotadown.mayitek.com/ota/r...04011829-LMY47V-2016041117331460428050687.zip
At this time I am unable to find a full firmware IMG file that I could use with the "USB Burning Tool" (The ultimate recovery, if things go bad)
For me there is no OTA update (says i have the latest), device comes with firmware from 28 of March, It is working fine though.
I installed Selinux mode changer to make Selinux permissive and after reboot the device was unresponsive. I tried the reset procedure as described by tpcip6 above and after a factory restore the device restored the rom perfectly. All apps were there despite the fact that i had uninstalled a couple of them. I was surprised. How could this happen? Is there a hidden recovery partition or something? Anyway i was happy that the box was fully functional again.

I'm getting the same problem. Other people have mentioned that there's an update by my OTA is saying it's up to date even though i have the March version. Even the screenshots from @fireman_vt show an April update.
Thanks to @tcpip6 i've downloaded the new update.
Also, i'm having an issue with Kodi and SPMC where any 5.1 file i play with passthrough enabled causes audio drops every few seconds (i'm using HDMI). Hopefully the updated can help with this issue.

Dont think you need recovery, just copy the file to root of sdcard and then in the update app choose offline.
Maybe they removed the update because of issues like the disappearing of google play store?
I've installed the official Nougat update from Elephone using the SP flash tool. Before the update, everything on the phone was working.
After the update, the phone boots Android 7 fine, but no SIM cards are recognised.
I've tried entering Engineer Mode through the phone app to reset the IMEI (I know what they are) but the 'Connectivity' page in Engineer Mode doesn't list phone radios, only FM, Bluetooth, NFC and WiFi.
So I rooted the phone and tried entering AT commands through a terminal. But the folder /dev/radios is empty.
It's like my phone has no... well, no phone. I guess the driver is broken somehow.
Does anyone have any tips on how to proceed?

Well, there's one who didn't read the question. This is not about restoring the IMEIs.
Alright. I know flashing nougat might break the radios and also IMEI. This includes not detecting simcards. I had this problem myself.....
I have the same problem, or similar .
I can sometimes send and recieve text messages and sometimes i can call. Data traffic seems to work ok.
Right now as soon as i try to make a call i lose connection to the mobile network.

- Using the VPN and DNS options in firmware finder, then checking for system updates
- Putting the downloaded OTA zip in a created folder on internal storage called DLOAD, rebooting to recovery, but nothing happens.
- Tried extracting all the contents of the zip into that folder, again recovery doesn't acknowledge it.
It'd be great if we could perform manual updates like this, though annoying if the best we could do is merely download it!
Anyone any suggestions?
Let's see if we can get this working...
*update - seems I was entering recovery (power off and then power on holding power button + volume up) where I should have gone to download mode (hold both volume up and down). It gets to a screen but says Installation Failed. That's with the zip directly in the DLOAD folder and then sigh the contents extracted....
I used to use this app on my Honor 9 Lite, however it hasn't worked for a long time.
The method they used was to spoof the Huawei servers using DNS etc to trigger an OTA but Huawei changed the server location.
This app purely exists now to tell you there is an update available to download, however you'll need to use other methods to get it installed, which probably requires an unlocked bootloader at the very least, then a firmware flash tool.

Is there a way to establish that new location, to then use the correct proxy/DNS details?

Apparently not, or at least the developer of that App doesn't seem to think so.
I am also looking to update to the latest firmware too, it has been pushed out to some devices, but nothing for me yet. Although I did get a 3 branded update, I'm hoping that hasn't messed up my OTA's from Huawei

See I was on Three but moving over to O2. When I first set the phone up, I used the O2 sim but then put my Three sim in and will use until my number gets transferred over. Ive no Three branding yet

That's similar to what I did, put my old Tesco(O2) sim in slot 1 - No branding. The next day I also put my 3 sim into slot 2, after a few minutes an OTA pops up.
Checked on here a a few people said it's safe to install, it just activates Wi-Fi calling & the 3 apps.
After reboot it had also installed a 3 splash screen & changed my chrome homepage to the 3 website.
Minor annoyances yes, apparently fixed by a Factory reset. I just hope the change in software version doesn't delay future updates. Hopefully this 122 update pushes out soon.

Cool yeah well I'm on Three network but yet to be branded, but still haven't received an update so likely the branding isn't a cause, perhaps...
