This is the OFFICAL firmware btw.
Torrent file for the updated firmware which nokia somehow pulled.

got it thanks

i was one of the lucky ones who got the update directly from Nokia Software Updater for Retail it was really nice.. the hit though is we lost some camera quality..

Love this update;
Call Blocking
Storage Checker [That Works]
Data Sense [Data Traffic App]
Mostly fixed "other" storage issue
Camera quality is easily fixed by setting the iso to 200 or up btw.

Does it wipes all user data (contacts/pics/app settings etc)? If "yes" why you called it "lucky"?
P.S. I definitely can wait for the OTA.

first, i have all contacts, settings and app list backed up so i dont worry at all. pics? those are stored on my SD, flashing wont delete them,. i say "lucky" coz the leak version is same as the official one. "lucky" as i got it early.plain simple.

Seriously, you've never heard of Skydrive?

App settings and data can't be backed up to SkyDrive unless the app itself implemented that feature. Nearly three years since release and MS still hasn't implemented this basic functionality. It's kind of atrocious and makes hard resets / phone wipes from flashing much worse than they would otherwise be.

does this update remove lock from 810 tmobile?

Lock is intact, does full wipe, settings stored by SkyDrive are restored on login to ms. Update goes smooth enough and call block works as well as the storage check app.

As to how bad the backup of settings is androids not much better being a hit or miss process too. Don't expect perfection when no perfect Os can be used to compare too. It took all of two minutes to have my phone back up and running with my settings as they were.

Can you explain how such a thing could cause such a failure?
Its looking to update something that isn't there. When it doesn't find it, the update doesn't know what to do, so it fails.

He is correct about this. If you delete or remove anything system wise make sure you have a back up copy. Come time for an update and that file is not there, it will most likely fail. Make sure you take note of the file permissions also.

This was really simple to delete but what a mistake as I actually want to run it from time to time. If no one can give me a way to download it I will be forced to reset my device as new.
I don't really want to do this but I will if necessary. Live and learn.
SYSTEM Updates do not look after apps present BUT ONLY THE DEVICE SPECIFIC SERIAL NUMBER AND VERSION NUMBER !
System updates do NOT look after specific apps to be present or not.
After major complete updates all system apps disabled are reinstalled and have to be deactivated again .

Hard (factory) reset won't bring any files back. An update however, or a reflash of original ROM will do the trick.
To all saying that removing system files will fail OTA: Stop posting stuff you know nothing about. It's better to shut up rather than guessing.

So if I hit reset and wipe everything it won't restore the tablet like it was when I got it out of the box? You're kidding right! Every other tablet / phone I've ever owned will do so.
I guess I'll just have to back up some data to test this out.

This has been a proven case with the transformer series. So I would say we know nothing about. We are just stating that it could. I don't believe anyone stated that it would for sure.

Had the same thing happen with the rezound. If the bloatware was removed it failed to update. If it didn't have the stock recovery it failed to update. Again differences between OEMs as has been stated with Asus having done the something.

Deleting the screensaver app should not cause the ota to fail. Otherwise Samsung wouldn't allow that action to be performed so easily without root. Put it this way... if you can go into manage apps and click uninstall chances are it's not system critical.

Windows 10 can be tricky. I've had issues in the past issuing any commands to DL mode with Windows 10. This dates back to using my G2. I got it to work this last time trying, but you might have to use another OS if you can't get it to work.

I'm rooted on the US Cellular US991 10c. After a few hours of installing apps, killing bloatware, tweaking the ui, and setting my dpi to 540 I'm also enjoying better battery life and, for some reason, I'm not heating up nearly as much as before I root. Loving it.
Got a chance to get it done. Easy peasy. WOOHOO. Thanks again to all.

1gb ram fix after updating to lollipop (G800H)

Go to the phone app and type *#9900#
Change debug mod to high
The device will reboot and when it boots up the lost 330mb will back
Thats all
Thanks..it worked.
If you don't mind, shall I ask, what this setting actually does?
Was this part of RAM intentionally blocked by Samsung?

Yeah they blocked it on lollipop thinking that it will improve the performance in exchange of multitasking but it didnt achieved any of theme i dont know why didnt they disabled it before lunching the update :\
But is supposed to be 1.5G of RAM, why is just 330 mb not 500 mb?
Sent from my SM-G800H using XDA Free mobile app
I actually think Samsung does that with every update to artificially age the device to push sales of newer devices.
Though it might as well be part of internal testing at Samsung that was forgotten. Only time and future updates will tell.
Conspiracy theories aside, thank you very much for the trick. Really helpful. Does debug mode use more battery though? I would imagine the system log going crazy with this option.

Thanks for your relentless efforts in supporting our less popular G800H. I have been testing this fix from the day you posted it and I feel that the phone has become more responsive and fast. Free RAM is close to 500 always and there is no impact on the battery drain as well. Keep up your good work. I also noticed that setting Debug Level to Mid also restores RAM.

I haven't rooted mine and the update waiting is still the 6.6 one. Turned mine off just in case and going to root mine tonight.
i got this too. their website says:

Thanks for that, and the link....my mind is at ease now! I followed the instructions on the Blu website to find that app, and it wasn't there because I'm all BL unlocked and debloated.
Please see this article, this is pretty bad..... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/16/us/politics/china-phones-software-security.html
App was sending talk, text, and location information back to China every 72 hours
and even after all that they still wont fu**in update the OS.
Go to http://bluproducts.com/security/
Says to check your version of Wireless Update in settings/apps. If you're on 5.4 you're OK. I am. But then, I updated to v6.6 firmware as soon as I got the phone.
We made the DM.

I checked my apps, and I don't even see a Wireless Update app, does this mean I'm safe?

it wont bee in your app draw , you need to be rooted and at least install link2sd to see all the apps and remove fota* named apps and the wireless app thats written out clearly .
Go to setting/apps, scroll to bottom, wireless update. v5.4 is OK. Can't be disabled, only rolled back. Don't do that.

I didn't mean the app drawer, I was talking about the steps outline on the Blu security page linked in the OP.
I went through [settings > apps > show system] and there's no "Wireless Update" in there.
I rooted the phone to disable ads a while ago, if whatever method I used disabled OTA's, could that be the reason I don't see Wireless Update? If so, does that mean I'm in the clear?

So even uninstalling it does not disable it?

According to ConsumerReports, Amazon is extending its return window for this phone. Anyone trying to return 4 months later? lol

Yeah, me too. I love this phone and had that app debloated anyway.

Says to check your version of Wireless Update in settings/apps. If you're on 5.4 you're OK. I am. But then, I updated to v6.6 firmware as soon as I got the phone.
We made the DM.

They will be back in stock in the next 2 weeks according to a consumer reports article. Amazon pulled them all to fix the security issue, and is restocking them. They might also be a BLU R1+ version released soon(which is rumored right now). http://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/10/blu-r1-plus-hits-fcc-likely-amazon-exclusive.html
I just hope Amazon gets on BLU for not giving us the official LET band 12 update yet. Maybe Amazon will pressure Blu to get the promised Nougat update out also. we can only hope.

I just returned mine after purchasing on launch. It was just a backup phone/extra Android device anyway.

xda labs thinks my 1+5 is a 1+1?

As the title states! What is happening with the phone I'm using? Lol.
I'm using RR unofficial!
By all accounts it's a 1+1? Haha.
Also I've paid for the XDA premium app which is pretty much useless now!
What happened?
You know you can manually change it in settings
click one the "OnePlus 5". All the OnePlus devices will pop up, and select OnePlus 5.
It's because you restored the app data from a OnePlus One backup. Wipe XDA app data and it should pick up the correct values.
Happened to me too, just change the My Phone options in the settings.

I did not know that I'll check it out, just odd, it's the first time i've seen this app do that.

nope I did not.
Never owned a 1+1
People use xda labs? I just go on here with my browser. Same with facebook Twitter Reddit and all that noise. Saves soooooo much battery too.

Might give that a try. Cheers
Like others have mentioned, you can manually select OP5 as your device. The latest test build (opt in through Settings) has an updated device lib though and should detect your device. A new updated beta will be out tonight (supporting the op5) for what it's worth.
Let me know if it's not. Feel free to drop by the Labs telegram and ping me. You can check your model number against the device name here at the open source Device Registry.

You asked if people use labs and I told you they do. It also happens to be a battery efficient app. (Since you were, you know, posting about [battery] efficiency)

Nah it did work, just clicked and changed I just found it odd that it didn't do it from the off.
All good now cheers mate. :good:
PS: the XDA app is one of the few social apps I do actually use, I have used the browser in the past but it's not as efficient for use as the app.

Aye it's decent enough fella, be nice to select text on the fly though or to share a specific post via its actual line number.
Ways around it though I suppose.
In regards to power consumption, it's not anywhere near the top of my battery hog list so I'm not too worried about that.

Aye, unfortunately sharing by post line would mean we'd have to use some kind of complex anchor system since each person's device (or PC) could show different text depending on the resolution, etc.
As for copying text, we had to get rid of inline long press due to an Android bug. Instead you can long press on a post and select copy text, then copy from the dialog that pops up.
