Download Nokia Flash Files Before 2013 !!!

We will no longer have access to Nokia Firmware Repository (the source that NaviFirm is using).
All access to nokia repository server will be using an authentication, effective per February 2013. So if you want to download anything from the repo, I suggest you do it now.
Just relaying information.
Regards.
Here is the link to original information :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS SOME IMPORTANT NEWS FOR EVERYONE IN THIS FORUM WHO IS SERVICING NOKIA PHONES.
FROM NOKIA BULLETIN 12-21-2012:
Nokia will close open connection to Nokia Firmware Repository during January 2013 and implement access control.
After this, login to Nokia Online is required to access Nokia Firmware Repository.
Service Software Application releases beginning from Care Suite Product Support Tool v 2012_51_4_4 will support Nokia Online Login directly from Application UI
During transition phase (December 2012-January 2013) both open and restricted channels are open, but the open channel will be closed at the end of January 2013
After this, application updates and device software downloading are possible only by using the latest service software releases with NOL login support.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ???
1. It means that NaviFirm Firmware Downloaders will STOP WORKING on February 2013
Onwards.
2. It means that YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD FLASH FILES
from Nokia FiRe Servers anymore.
3. It means YOU WILL BE PROBABLY BE HAVING A HARD TIME SEARCHING
FOR NOKIA FLASH FILES after January 2013.
4. It means that YOU SHOULD START DOWNLOADING ALL THE
NEEDED FLASH FILES NOW and YOU HAVE 36 DAYS LEFT !!!
Download NaviFirm+ Now and start preparing for 2013:

You'll notice something similar in the latest version of Product Support Tool for Stores.
It's asking for credentials now. But only for "Care Pro". If you click on"CareSuite External" you won't need credentials to get the latest firmware. No idea how long this will last of course.

Help with Nougat Beta on Huawei P9 Lite

Hi, all!
This is my very first post. Not even sure if there's a solution to this, tried searching but probably my keywords didn't exactly hit it.
I have a Huawei P9 Lite. I just received the OTA update for Nougat Beta with build number VNS-L31C636B331. My previous build was VNS-L31C636B170. I received the OTA update after I registered to become a beta tester. The installation was successful, things went running smoothly until I noticed my VPN app was closing when my phone is locked (even when I had it set to run after screen-lock). It got so annoying until I decided to reformat my phone. Things are running fine again, but some system or stock Huawei apps are missing, like calendar, clock, and calculator, to name a few.
Is there a way to download and reinstall these apps? And if so, are the downloadable apps already designed for Nougat on Huawei? Or are they from Marshmallow?
If there is no way to download stock apps, can I ask help to downgrade to Marshmallow? I'm planning to downgrade, and then tick back the Nougat update again from settings.
Thank you so much, guys!

Mate 10 Update Problem!

Hi
i have a Huawei Mate 10 (ALP-L29 8.0.0.135(C185)).
when i checking for new update (in settings) it will not find any new update While the update number 139 is also available in internet (EMUI 8.1).
However, I downloaded new update package files from the Internet But they are not installed on my phone!
Today, I have not received an update for two months (even google monthly security updates)!
i sent email to Huawei, sent Tweets to Huawei Tweeter, called to Huawei Support but They didn't answer.
What should I do?
Same problem bro .... wait some solutions !!!!!
I received ALP-L29 8.0.0.137 C185 (and patch 1) a few weeks ago.
139 is not approved yet (and its still 8.0, not 8.1).
No Pie beta yet.

Even if its there on the internet they release the updates in different times due to regional differences tho there must be an update soon including pie and Google security patches
They are late because the beta pie is not stable yet tho we should see something soon
Maybe tmw as it is the launch of mate 20
I got the .139 update yesterday, so maybe op can try again? Not sure why the update releases are so slow/behind though. It is for September... Is Huawei normally a month or two behind Google's security patches?

App Compatibility/OneUI Sign-Up Update from Samsung

This post is about the OFFICIAL Galaxy Note 8 Firmware Release, not the Leaked Released or Custom Mod Releases. DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS or INFORMATION that apply to Leaked or Custom Mod Releases. Only Information and Questions about the OFFICIAL Samsung Firmware.
For the One UI Sign-up Update, scroll a bit down after the App Compatibility List until you see OneUI Update from Samsung Representative about OneUI Beta Sign-up
For App Compatibility, it's below you here!
App Compatibility
As of testing on the Galaxy Note 8, the following apps on Build N950U1UEU5ZSAB do not work (Pre-Loaded Apps Only):
Game Tuner (Missing Game Optimizing Service)
Samsung Members (No access to Beta Forums, Feedback or Notices)
Samsung+
Voicemail
As of OneUI Release, the following apps do not work (Regular Applications):
TBD
OneUI Update from Samsung Representative about OneUI Beta Sign-up
So I recently got in touch with a Samsung Representative a few hours ago as the Samsung Members App, the app that controls Beta Feedback, Forums, and Notices on the Android Pie Release (OFFICIAL not the Leaked Build) due to me getting an error saying that either my Samsung Account or my own device are not registered for the OneUI Beta. The rep during the call informed me that, according to a Samsung Account Representative, the Beta Signup is technically closed as of now. Yes, you can still keep running Samsung's OneUI as is but you cannot register into the Samsung Members App or Open Beta Items unless you managed to update early or have an unlocked device. I'm still unsure about updates that Samsung will send out due to this but I think Updates should be released as normal still for Android Pie. So far my device, a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 8 is what is getting the error and other devices **may** get this error.
I noticed this small bug after flashing the N950U to N950U1 Unlocked and then Flashing the Android Pie Update via Recovery Mode and once I finished the installation. Samsung+ will just crash on OneUI even after reinstalling via Google Play and Galaxy Apps and Samsung Members as already mentioned will work, but you won't get access to the beta feedback, beta forums, or notices from Samsung.
This isn't a news report that should steer you away from trying OneUI. You can still give it a shot by following the guide by Mr. Orange by flashing Pie via Recovery Mode for now as Samsung+ will no longer work for Android Pie Beta Updates, but you will be sort of limited by what you can give back to Samsung due to their Open Beta now being a Closed Beta. If you are still unsure about updating to OneUI, then don't risk it. Even though 99.99% of Flashing always end perfectly right with OneUI, there may be that chance that it can go wrong but very slim. ALWAYS make sure you backup your data before flashing. You can do so in Settings -> Cloud & Accounts -> Backup and Restore -> Back up data, and it will be backed up to Samsung Cloud or do the manual copy everything to your PC and transfer to your phone afterward method.
Issues on OneUI Beta:
Secure Startup + WQHD Bug - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/psa-android-pie-beta-secure-startup-t3891634
Fix on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNote...inside_theres_a_bug_in_the_note8_pie/ee7fwyv/
- Playing Audio may pause a bit when doing other tasks on the device. Noticed on Samsung Music while testing a few FLAC files with Dolby Atmos against my previous settings. Both had audio cut out a bit while browsing Chrome or Discord with and without Sound Effects

Google Play System update ?

Hi,
the Google Play System update of my Mi A3 isnt updated and stuck on Nov 2019.
I tried to manually update this but the updater means that it is on actual patch/update.
My phone is on latest stock V11.0.22.0.QFQMIXM, unlocked and rooted with Magisk.
The Google Play Store is certified !
Anyone who can check what patch level is on theirs.
And maybe someone has an idea how to correct that (because i'm sure the is a newser update available)
or how to force this.
If someone dont understand what i mean -> https://www.howtogeek.com/686927/wh...em-updates-on-android-and-are-they-important/
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/main-components/
meanwhile i got the same information over at telegram group
anyway ... thanks
one more question.
Does manually update has any disadvantages or negative side effect ?
