I have a Google ION phone and after updating it to 2.2 OTA I never get a 3G connection anymore. Anyone know what might be causing this? I haven't found anyone else with this problem.
I've also been having trouble connecting to some wifi:s that used to work, not sure if it's related.

Have you checked your apns
Hi, a friend has a Galaxy S5 (MetroPCS) he wanted me to unlock. He works at a hotel and any items found in rooms go to their "Lost and found" thing for a 60 day period. This was found and never claimed, so he wants to use it as his own. I've looked through it a bit and it appears it was used by a former drug dealer around town. Huzzah. Anyway.
It appears to already be rooted and has TWRP already installed, though still uses the stock ROM.
My questions are- How would I go about doing a fresh install on it? Also, is there a free way to unlock them or do I have to go through one of those unlock websites?
Here are the specs

Edit: I found this site, http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900T1
I see there's a newer version with 5.1.1. Would I be able to flash that without any major issues instead of the one already on it?

Upgrade it using Smart Switch.
Just an update- I successfully used SmartSwitch to upgrade the phone, kudos for that.
Also ended up going through cellunlocker.net to unlock it. They even sent an unfreeze code with it.
Hello guys,
I'm from China and bought my Droid Turbo 2 as a second hand item. That seller has disabled the software update function of it, so every time I tap on the software update option, it will "check for update", then tell me my system is "up to date", even until now I'm still on android 6.0, 24.14.11.kinzie_verizon.verizon.en.US version.
I tried to ask him how to repair it, and the only solution I got is factory data reset.
I don't want to lose any data on my phone, my contacts, sms, purchased apps and game progress, blablabla. Thought I can download the OTA files and update it with ADB, or maybe I can reverse the seller's modification on my phone. Could you guys please help me find the OTA files in the list:

Or maybe you can teach me to lift that fake 'check for update' curse? Thank you!
hello mate,
1.You could try to find the disable apps in "settings"-"apps" and enable them. especially look for the ones that have names like "update" or "system"
2. if that does not help, you might want to consider use the Software Upgrade Assistance (SUA) from Verizon.
Here is how to enable the SUA: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-116673/
you could also check here: https://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/BPOD-H9887-SUA-moto-V7.pdf
3. Maybe someone who could pull the update and upload it, then you could flash it with RSD Lite software
I noticed that my phone was downloading an update this morning.
Currently, my configuration is:
- Nougat 7.0
- Baseband G950USQU2BQK5

- security software version:
- MDF v3.0 release 1
- WLAN v1.0 release 1
- VPN 1.4 Release 8.1

- Knox 2.8
this new update appears to be a security patch. can anyone else confirm?
thanks!

Prob not nothing good in it apparently it is a new one I wouldnt take it just yet
well, already did. just another security update for me. seems to be a monthly routine
Aight, so a couple of weeks ago I decided to finally accept the update that I always skipped, that pesky Android OREO (8.0) update was always harassing my notification panel and I finally decided to accept it and just update. What could go wrong?
After I updated, and saw that a few features were cool, I noticed something...
My phone was not charging even though it was connected to the charger. I tried airplane mode, I tried maximum power saving mode, I tried safe mode, I turned it off and nothing happened. It just didn't want to charge; some might say that it's just a battery issue, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
This happened right after I updated my lovely Nougat to Oreo.
So now I need help.
Here are my phone's specs:
*Build Number: R16NW.G930PVPU6CRE7
*SE for Android status: SEPF_SM-G930P_8.0.0_0008
*Fri May 25 20:35:22 2018
*Knox version: Knox 3.1, Knox API level 25, TIMA 3.3.0
*Security Software version: MDF v3.1 Release 2, WLAN v1.0 Release 1, VPN PP-MOD v2.1 Release 1.0, ASKS v1.4 Release 180123, FIPS BoringSSL v1.2, FIPS SKC v1.7, FIPS SCrypto v1.0, SMR Apr-2018 Release 1
*Android security patch level: April 1, 2018
*Model Number: SM-G930P
*IMEI: 353562085155911
*Software version: G930PVPU6CRE7
*Hardware version: REV0.6
*Android Version: 8.0.0 Oreo (I want 7, Nougat)
*Samsung Experience version: 9.0
*Baseband version: G930PVPU6CRE7
*Kernel version: 3.18.71-13585094, [email protected] #1
My phone is a SPRINT unlocked version, 32 gb. You can check out those specs; probably understand them a lot better than I do.
The thing is, I know that I'm going to have to root it in order to install a previous Android version (downgrade). I just don't want to take any risks with flashing the wrong firmware for my specific phone; I don't want to brick it.
So, can y'all please help me with choosing the right -my phone specific- firmware and stuff?
Giving me a step-by-step on how to successfully downgrade back to my 7.0 nougat would be a blessing too.
Thank You!

I cannot believe the charging problem is caused by Oreo. Try different chargers, and new USB cables. Google the issue to see if it's related to Oreo. If you are absolutely sure this is due to Oreo, then you may change it and root is not required.
Since the phone is still on bootloader 6, you may be able to downgrade to Nougat with the same version of bootloader. Flashing firmware is a complex process and phone may be easily bricked if anything goes wrong, so you need to understand what you are doing exactly. I would suggest to read thoroughly information related to Samsung Galaxy firmware update using Odin software. I usually get s7 firmware from two sites:
https://updato.com/
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/
Switch off your phone then try charging?

Well, ironically, my mother got a new -android- phone a couple of days ago and my phone charges pretty fine with her charger. I guess it WAS a charger problem, but my charger works perfectly fine on my father's phone and not on mine; strange.
The thing is, although it can now charge, the super battery drainage is still there, and yes, I'm convinced the quick battery drainage problem came along with the Oreo update. It lasted hours and hours on Nougat, but now on Oreo it barely gets to 3 hours and 30 minutes.
