Just received notification on my phone.
Version : A2017GV1.30B02
Size : 1.93GB
1. Updates to Android 8.0
2. Latest security package
Finally.
Greetings from Malaysia.
awesome news! Mine still tells me I'm up to date.
Is there any way to "capture" the update file and share it?

Sorry, but I've got no idea.
Anyway, just downloaded and updated the phone. Very nice clean interface with Launcher3, i.e. default Android launcher. But I use Nova Prime anyway. Everything else in the settings, interface etc is very stock looking.
Security updated to 1 Oct. Remains to be seen whether we'll get up to date security patches.
Will factory reset my phone later and do clean install of my apps, setting up of my phone and will test this thoroughly over the weekend. So far it's looking good.
got it now
Can you post the baseband / modem and kernel version please ?
looks like they updated the security over the US version
and camera probe
Probably no Camera2 api and maybe turn off auto update in dev options to try and capture?
Thanks for posting ??
Checked mine, update showed. Downloading, will try to capture.

Well it should be easy to enable it. I remember nfound put a few files from the U version to the G version of the rom during the beta stages. And that enabled working level 3 camera2 api with working gcam. Dunno which files it were and if it still works as good. Some ppl or devs gotta try if it's possible.
Anyway, still disappointed that the zte team for G version didn't implement it. I mean they could have easily used the resources from the US team to get it implemented
Works SuperSu or Magisk with Oreo
"daydream will be unavailable FOR A WHILE" in the change-log screen. Maybe this means that this is not the last update for the Axon 7 and they are looking pushing more updates later.
EDIT: how do we root this thing? The recovery seems to have no fastboot. Do we have an EDL fastboot patch like "FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL_N"?
Actually seems to me there will be some follow up from this OTA later on
It is ZTE though. Words can't always be counted on.
Please do a EDL backup

You need to reset your phone to factory before you make that public right? otherwise the backup will have all your apps and logins?
I'm happy to reset my phone for you guys and make a backup but I would need to know if there's a way to root this build before I do that.
I have a few apps that I would need to restore from Titanium ASAP after factory reset and if there's no root I'd be in trouble.

No, not need to factory reset the phone, edl backup not contain userdata or user apps
Alright, thanks for the confirmation. I started a backup. No idea how long does it take. I will upload it on mediafire and post the link here ASAP.
EDIT: just to be sure, you guys need the "backup full edl" option, right?

Couldn't find the update file and once you start, you can postpone but not stop it.

This is a custom Rom I made for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE (SM-T285), which suits my tastes.
If you have suggestions, send me a PM.
UPDATE 09/07/2016
================
A newer version that runs "root" (sepolicy constrained) scripts can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-lte-2016-sm-t3455788
Use the above version instead if you want to experiment with features like apps 2 sdcard.
Modifications:
* Based on LMY47V.T285XXU0APCN
* Stock Boot and Recovery (Not much choice since the bootloader is locked)
* Removed Touchwiz launcher and redundant samsung apps (Hancom office, Kidzone), replaced with Trebuchet
* Enabled r/w to the external SD Card
Installation Instructions:
Odin or Heimdall Required.
--FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK--
1. Make sure to backup of your data and have a copy of your stock Rom in case something goes wrong.
2. Make sure your device is OEM unlocked. (Enable Developer settings and Enable the OEM unlock settings)
3. Extract ZIP file below and flash the tar.md5 file using ODIN, for details on this kindly look for instructions in the xda site.
4. For Heimdall you can use 7zip to extract the system.img from the tar.md5 and just flash the system.img itself.

You have to go to download mode and then use Odin to flash. Unfortunately this does not root the T285.

Hi,
Anyone tried Pokemon Go update 0.37 with this ROM? The update fails to start for me. It prompts device/os version is incompatible.
I reverted back to version 0.35 and it works fine.

Yeah the newest version checks for xposed and a bunch of other things. Actually a lot of people were pissed that they did this. You'd probably need to revert back to stock if you want to play. Only systemless root and xposed with magisk works for Pokemon go now.

Hello and thank you for your work with this device. Currently I am looking for a bypass for the factory reset protection on my sm t280. I have flashed the stock md5 file 3+ times attempting to do a complete data wipe and reset, and this doesnt remove the lock. Any ideas?

To FRP unlock you have to go to developer settings and switch oem unlock to false. The stock rom should have it unless you are using a carrier locked version that I a! not aware of.

FRP is specifically designed to prevent flashing if you can't login to the device. You won't be able to flash unless the person has turned off oem unlock beforehand. I am not aware of any method to bypass this on this device.
Also the T280 and T285 have slightly different hardware so using a different recovery image is not recommended. Also since both devices have a locked bootloader, I highly doubt you can even change the recoveries from stock as I would imagine samsung using different keys for both. At the worst case it still always possible to reflash them back to stock if you do want to try

And thank you so much for selling it. I don't speak enough Spanish to make the ordeal of getting one of the T285M's from so america worthwhile. I was planning on sticking with my T239M for awhile, then I saw your T285M on ebay.
I've dirty flashed jedld's T285 debloated rom, then dirty flashed his T285 tinker rom on top of that. Both onto my T285M. Working flawlessly. Wished he'd kept the mail app, but without touchwiz I guess that wasn't possible.
Something else they blocked in the kernel or with SElinux on the T285M is screen mirroring. Can only cast directly from apps.
Still I am happy overall. Now looking for a castrated version of daemonsu!

Is this ROM compatible with Google Safetynet? I can't seem to log into Pokemon GO since I installed Tinker edition, so I'm thinking to switch to this one instead.
Haven't tried it but it should work.
Is the root part contained in boot.img or in system.img? In other words, when using Heimdall I should flash both system.img and boot.img, isn't it?
I'm getting bootloops with CM13, Omni and I don't know how I got Tinker working, I kind of remember flashing boot.img, then wiping, then flashing system.img, then wiping again.
EDIT: got this one working too by flashing boot.img (Heimdall complains it cannot receive confirmation msg) reboot into download again, then flashing system.img (this time heimdall does reboot the phone). however, pokemon go still wont connect due to google's safetynet compliance.
I'll try flashing recovery in case it is TWRP the one clashing with Safetynet.
PD: I didn't backup stock at the beggining of the process so I'm pretty much screwed with Pokemon until I can afford a new phone. But if someone has a stock ROM for T285MUBU0API2, please ping me.
EDIT2 Got pokemon working. I reinstalled TWRP (this ROM's recovery is the stock one, of course), then flashed unSU. It removed SuperSU binary and Google SafeNet got working again. I can't believe that, after so much hours I've put into finding the best custom ROM for this crappy phone, 95% of the time was spent in trying to get Pokemon GO running. I'm close to 40, FML.
These update packages should work on global variant Nokia X6.
Usage:
Confirm your current version by dialing *#*#227#*#* before update.
Then download the package and rename to the specific filename I gave, place it to root directory of internal storage and dial *#*#874#*#* to update.
After the update procedure completed, update package will be deleted from your phone automatically.
Global Release:
Note: From DRG-250A build, it blocked current bootloader unlock method, be careful.

how to update the path for x6
Hello,
*#*#227#*#* works well.
*#*#874#*#* has no response at all. Is root or bootloader required to do that?
I just realize the X6 I bought from ebay is global firmware version, which does not support OTA. Use OTA to update to latest firmware is a key feature I am looking for. I do not care it is China version or Global version.
Do you have any suggestion that what should be the easiest way? Hopefully no bootloader required. Thanks!
google play pretent CN OTA?
Boss,
After discuss with many other user, we think it is because I am using China version rom, but installed Google play, which pretent OTA update.
Do you think so? Could you give us a solution?
I bought the phone from ebay. I just need OTA.

No, it will not destroy the warranty at all. As for the camera app, go to the app's settings and try wiping its data completely. Then reboot your phone and try again.

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Tencent edition of the ROG Phone 2, and was a bit annoyed to see that automatic system updates no longer worked after converting it to a WW ROM. I did some digging and found out that ASUS uses the IMEI of the device to track what updates the device is entitled to, including the region. So a CN IMEI would only be entitled to CN firmware updates.
That's what led me to write this app that interacts directly with the ASUS servers to look for updates, but using a spoofed IMEI that makes the server think it's WW. It was a bit of work to figure out how it all works, but I have managed it, and it seems to work as it should - I successfully upgraded from .44 to .64 just a short while ago using the app.
Download
v1.0.4:
- Allow input of custom IMEI
- Fix issues on Android 10 beta
- Other fixes

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IgDM9T6u4z4LLLudHYIg3hb6OPw7Qz29
v1.0.1:
- Fix updates not working when on CN fingerprint
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_hYwPi3Q_8tW6gaBnQvNmohWR4Q4wP2o
v1.0:
- Initial release
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KVh8OmgMxMg-jQfpF2LmIW4cqBDKXtyz/view?usp=sharing
Instructions
The app is very basic, but it does what it should. It will check for updates every hour, and send you a notification if it has found an update - or you can force a check by opening the app and pressing the button.
Once the update is downloaded (the updater will notify you when it's done), you will need to restart the device, and upon booting again you will be notified by the system that a system update has been found and be asked if you want to apply it or not.
That's really it, the system will handle the updating from there.
Note 1:
You need to be on completely stock firmware for the update to apply properly. The bootloader can be unlocked, but you can't be rooted or such.
Note 2:
For the updater to work correctly you'll have to allow it to auto-start by going to System settings -> Battery -> PowerMaster -> Auto-start manager and make sure ASUS updater is ticked. Not doing this means you will have to run the app once each boot for notification to work correctly.
Note 3:
If the update fails (after rebooting and starting the update), I will need a log to be able to figure out what's wrong. The relevant tag is UpdateLauncher.

Do let me know if it's working for you, or if you can think of any improvements I can make.
Wow great work mate I will download the app when the next update will be available.
I wish you can develop something for volte and vowifi.

That's really it, the system will handle the updating from there.
Note 1:
You need to be on completely stock firmware for the update to apply properly. The bootloader can be unlocked, but you can't be rooted or such.
Note 2:
For the updater to work correctly you'll have to allow it to auto-start by going to System settings -> Battery -> PowerMaster -> Auto-start manager and make sure ASUS updater is ticked. Not doing this means you will have to run the app once each boot for notification to work correctly.
Do let me know if it's working for you, or if you can think of any improvements I can make.

Hats off for you Senior.
I'm on WW_ZS660KL-16.0622.1906.19-0, was never able to update this phone that I imported from China to EU, and your tool doesn't find new updates available to install either. Could it be that I'm on ww firmware but cn fingerprint? (seller's doing, not mine). I'm 100% on stock everything (meaning, I haven't tinkered with the software one bit). Would appreciate some clarification, thank you.

As it turns out, the CN fingerprint does affect it; I didn't think it would, but one of the props that the app uses to send to the server actually changes based on the fingerprint.
I've fixed it, so please try this, and let me know if it works:

For me it's the same, unfortunately. Not sure what I could be doing wrong.

Sorry, I had completely missed another reference to the CN fingerprint. Try this latest one (tested and working for me with fingerprint changed to CN):
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IgDM9T6u4z4LLLudHYIg3hb6OPw7Qz29
It found and downloaded this time, but the update process itself fails, I tried twice. May be because my version is too old? It's the same if I download the update file manually and put it on root, phone detects it after reboot but unable to flash the update.
Just change the fingerprint to WW, having a WW rom with CN fingerprint will cause more issues.

A log would say what's wrong, most likely one of the partitions isn't completely stock - they probably botched something when they flashed the WW ROM on it. Feel free to send me a log and I can have a look.

I can't 'just change it' without rooting the phone, unless there's a way in unaware of. I was planning to do that once android q releases. Otherwise, it's just too much hassle with currently available untested methods.
How do I do that @HomerSp

Sure you can, it's easy just follow this guide, no need to root or to wipe and it takes 5 minutes

I would indeed recommend changing the fingerprint to WW as having a CN fingerprint causes a whole bunch of issues, although that most likely won't fix your upgrade issue. The EDL method is really easy, and can be done in a couple of minutes - and does not require rooting.
As for the log, have you used adb and such? I just need a logcat. There are plenty of guides on how to do that, so I won't go into that here.
You were right it was fairly easy, although the original tutorial should have a warning that entering in edl mode causes the screen to go black and the phone completely unresponsive! Other than that it went smooth. You did an amazing job.
Edit: well, actually, it still fails I'll keep at it

If you get this again I would need a logcat to be able to help you. The update dialog you see on reboot isn't from my app, but it's a system app that I have no control over - so there's no way of telling what's causing it to fail, except for a log.

How to open logcat
Thanks so much for this app, I was thinking I would just need to apply the updates manually as they came out. It doesn't seem to be downloading the update when I tap the button though, my data usage stays in the KB/s range or lower. Anything I might be doing wrong?
My phone had been rooted via Magisk, some system update box kept coming up, but I kept tapping cancel as I didn't think it would work anyway. Yesterday, I'm not sure if it was forced or it tapped something in my pocket, but now it has installed the update, and *boom* I'm on Android 10. Build number V11.0.5.0.QFQEUXM. Root lost, everything else seems to work though. I have a notification from Magisk Manager that says update available! press to download and install.
Should I do that to regain root? Is that the safest way to do that? I have backups, but I'd rather not have to go through that faff. Thanks so much for your help! And this super useful forum! Thanks will be given also :fingers-crossed:

The easiest way to re-root your phone is to follow the steps on this post here. However, there are no .img files for the last versions.
I need the fastboot for 11.0.19 Global

The guide you mentioned in your post also contains a link in which you can extract your own boot image and use that image to patch via Magisk to obtain root.
Here is the link: DUMP stock boot.img

Hi thanks for the link! It looks like I will use the TWRP and Magisk method, as there is less to go wrong. But the links on that post are from 2019, so I'm guessing they are not compatible with A10. I've found this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82372895&postcount=139 to try to find some updated links, but the mirrors cannot be found

I used the steps from the same post for obtaining root on my stock Android 10 V11.0.14.0.QFQMIXM i.e. global version. Now I don't know whether it will work on V11.0.19 Global or not, but it should. I cannot test it now because I'm using EvolutionX Custom ROM now.
Hello, just bought the One Plus Nord N20 unlocked version with the intent of rooting it and installing a ROM. I haven't turned it on because I don't want it to upload the latest security patch and make itself unrootable, so I have nothing to backup. Ideally I would want to install e/OS, but have not rooted nor unlocked the bootloader of a device since 2012, so I essentially know nothing. Can someone please explain if:
- Is this is possible?
- If it is, is it a bad idea?
- Is the GSI for e/OS absent for this phone, and is this an issue?
- Is using a GSI a placeholder until a true custom ROM is made?
- Should I wait until the process is more mature?
- I am told to wait until I know what I am doing. Where should I learn / practice since there is still little documentation for this specific phone?
Thank you for your time!

Is this still the case? I read another thread that says this may be the reason it no longer works.

If you think you don't need a backup because "you've not turned your phone on yet", you should probably think twice about trying to flash custom software. Especially GSI...
Just trying to save you some heart ache down the road. Cheers

if you decide to use the security patch it came with stock then be sure not to connect tp the internet at all because once its unlocked and rooted and downloads an update dsu sideloader will not work until that update is dealt with and system updates wont work while bootloader unlocked and definitely not going to work if any partitions are modified(not stock such as magisk patched boot image). im not sure about the september update but some did have issues with the august patch although others were successful so it may have just been user error. my suggestion is to just put dsu sideloader and a prerooted gsi on an sdcard or transfer via pc/usb cord to internal storage but don't connect to the internet and use that to gain root long enough to pull your full stock partitions backups. this would be playing it safe. then ifnyou want you can relock your bootloader and update to september/newest and pull another full backup so you have it in the case that ypur successful and if not then your bases are covered to downgrade and downgrading will be as easy as simply reflashing all the stock images you pulled the first time though you shouldnt have to reflash ALL of them but in case you want to / need to then u have them. I cant stress backups enough. I use Partitions Backup & Restore by Wanam from playstore or wherever u want to download it unless u prefer to dd everything but i like the gui its just easier. read my post on how to root any n20 as there are somegood tips there and a great response detailing the procedure and dmtec also posted a much more detailed guide. i still havr a device on May patch and the other on July
