I'd assume your phone is running T-Mobile software, correct?
I think they re-released it again. I converted to the unlocked ROM so I can't tell.

I was told by Verizon that in general, I can use another carrier's software update to update my phone as long as the software date is not too long after the phone "roll-out" date. Is this generally true ? I want to confirm before I use a USCellular Android 2.3.4 update (Software Number 3.20.573.2) on my Verizon HTC Merge (Android 2.2). (I checked - the software date and phone date are around 2011) [Verizon never supported this phone but it is branded as such] The update requires HTC Sync and to be done via a PC.
(I'm a newbie, so trying to find the simplest solution to update the software without rooting and etc...). Thanks

Whoever told you that from Verizon was an idiot. That is absolutely not how it works, especially with carrier locked devices like that. If there are no official updates available from VZW, then the only way would be via a custom rom. If you try to run that RUU, it will fail before it even starts because it will recognize that the CID (Carrier ID) is different.
Update needed for Verizon HTC Merge ?

Is it safe to use Android 2.2 on the HTC Merge or should it be updated ? If update, some say Google Play Services may be a 'back-end' solution.
Or getting a custom rom is the best way ? If so, where is safest place to get it and what is best way to do this for a newbie ?
Thanks for your help !

You can flash to the India Oreo KDZ and you will be back on the India path.
Simple "upgrade" via LGUP.
V20B-IND-XX
INDIA H930DS20b_00_OPEN_ESA_DS_OP_0530.kdz
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/h930ds-lg-v30-india-h930ds-t3814426
Ok. Noted with thanks, how about OTA from setting software updates?

Full image KDZ is always superior to partial image OTA.
But yes, you should receive notification of India OTA updates since you will be on official LG firmware for India. However, don't expect any updates for about 3 months. That's all LG has agreed to, at least security updates every 90 days once on Oreo. Oreo has now arrived for India.
For me, I will almost never take OTA, for reasons too lengthy to post here. In the past 4 years, over in the Motorola Quark forum we had to constantly educate people to NOT take OTAs. To instead wait for the full image and flash that. It's almost like an upside down world here in the V30 forum where people are obsessed with wanting OTAs.
I just had to advise someone today in India who took an OTA, which messed up his phone and now he has no full image to flash. Not LG, but a Motorola phone -- but same caution applies. He never unlocked his bootloader so he's out of luck. He can't even flash another region image (Motorola is locked down that way). He has to take phone to Motorola service center which is a great distance away.
My advice is to stick with full image, so you can re-flash if needed.
Hello all.
SM-G965U, was AT&T but now unlocked for Fi. In the US.
Build: R16NW.G965USQS3BRJ6
Security Patch: Nov 1
What do I need to do to get back to the OTA schedule? I'm presuming its to flash onto an unlocked ROM but I can't work out exactly which thread I need to be following to make that happen.
That is the newest update until they release Pie. You can manually flash a beta version of Pie or sign up for the beta program.

Hi Electroz,
I'm still showing 'no update available' even with unlocked US apparently getting the update. Is there anything else I have to do? :/

Wait a few days, the rollout might not be instantaneous
It's unlocked but still run the same AT&T branded firmware. All AT&T phone requires an ATT sim card and in US to receive OTA. It looks like you are on Fi so you need to get an active ATT sim from a friend to receive update.
What is the alternative to flashing some sort of generic ROM instead? Specifically what ROM would I need?
you need firmware version SM-G965USQU3CSAB THATS THE PIE UPDATE . it rebrands based on sim card so you wil be branded tmobile on project fi . here the thread with the link u want https://downloadmirror.co/2CXl/G965USQU3CSAB_G965UOYN3CSAB_CCT.zip

Thanks. I think I'm actually going to go with SM-G965U1 G965U1UEU3CSA8 because I don't believe you get any carrier features with Fi, even if it piggybacks on Tmobile anyway.

It's interesting that the RETAIL rom didn't work for me. I bought my Z2 directly from motorola in the US, and yet my phone is apparently designated albus_c, not just albus, so the update doesn't go through.

If you boot into your bootloader, it will tell you albus or albus_c. Not sure why you received the albus_c if you bought directly from motorola.
In that case, your phone is considered RETUS, not RETAIL. The link below will take you to the RETUS firmware listing, but Pie for this version has not been released yet.

I do not know, but from what I understand the bootloader cannot be unlocked on Verizon model so I doubt you can fastboot flash your device.
If you want the answer to that question your going tohave to try it.

download latest vzw firmware and flash it
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus/official/VZW/
I was and still am confused...I never knew what ALBUS meant. I thought it had something to do with another country Upgrade channel knowing that US is RETUS.
Seeing the 2nd post above-- I also bought my US Retail version from Moto and its the XT1710-01. When looking at phone settings - it mentioned RETUS somewhere. So I just booted to recovery- and Product/Variant is: albus XT1710-01. Does this mean that I can do the Fastboot method from OP?
Thx
Chris
Each Android device has it's code name. For Moto Z2 Play it is albus, although for some American devices it is albus_c. XT-1710-something is model number. In different countries, different models are sold. RETUS, RETAIL, RETEU, RETBR and so on are update channels. I believe that if your bootloader is locked, you can only flash update from the same channel and only update, not downgrade. If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash also firmwares from other channels to update and downgrade but it still does not change your device's update channel.
So if you are not unlocked and your channel is RETUS, I don't think you can flash RETAIL or anything else than RETUS. And you will have to wait for Pie for RETUS to be released.

Wait, wait. I'm on an Albus C, which uses RETUS. Are you telling me that by simply unlocking the bootloader I could use the RETBR official ROM and just update my phone already? It's that simple? Cos it's been 2 months already and I'm quite tired of this stupid unnecessary wait.
Hello,
I need help with my S9+ from ATT. It is still stuck at Android 8.0. I am no longer with ATT and am no longer in the US (Asia now). When i try to do a software update on my phone, it says it is already on the latest update.
How am I able to get the latest update? I have yet to try Odin as I am new to it and am scared that it will brick my phone. Is there any firmware and guide on how to put it to my phone? If successful updated to android9.0, how am i going to get oneUI and subsequent updates?
Is it also possible to make my att phone into a phone that is directly bought from samsung store? So that I am able to get updates directly from samsung?
Please advise. Thanks.
Regards
