Some Questions about Updating

Hi,
a few weeks ago I updated my stock german Xoom so the following:
Model Number: XZ601
Android Version: 3.0.1
Firmware: GAS_EMEA_USAEVRSTUTMDE_P007
Baseband Version: N_01.83.21P
Baseband Configuration Version: UCAEVEUB1B8EU02D.0R
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1
Build Number: H.6.1-38-5
I think this was not really software update but I did this to root the thing. Now, when I click System Upgrade, the device tells me it was up to date. Is this update functionality gone since I rooted the tablet or is Motorola still not providing Android 3.1 in EMEA?
Is there a working manual update to german 3.1 out by now? I think last time I checked there was none. Can someone bring me up to speed plz?
cheers

My stock german xoom is not getting update either when i check for update. and its absolutely stock, i did not root it or do anything to it.
i guess 3.1 did not land in EMEA yet...at least not in Germany...

Hi,
okay that means it does not necessarily have to do with my rooted version. But the question remains: will I get the update through the usual channel with the rooted device?
Motorola is really straining me here ... What about manual updates? Is there something out for german devices by now?
cheers

I hadn't heard of any updates going out to anyone other than japan/china/australia?

You would like to try what? What I was stating was my Moto E has an update available to 6.0 MM. I have not downloaded it as of yet, cause I am aware there's something you need to do first in order to capture the download for redistribution. From what I understand you cannot use an already downloaded and installed OEM~OTA update for redistribution...
A little guidance from the seniors would be EXTREMELY appreciated, as this is my first thread ever... I'm looking at you squid2 lolz

i am waiting for the 7th when Telus said they would roll it out.
Not sure how they make the uploaded Firmware archives either..
No matter how many time i asked i either got ignored or hammered with some weird advice (English issue?)
And i meant the one that we all use uploaded to Mega etc.
Who is making them and with what?
Apparently no one knows and what concerns me even more is a little thing called security.
I asked so uhhh why are we not using hashes to verify the firmware ?
It's complete insanity to check hashes on some dumb app and not your OS ..that just blows me away LOL

I'm interested in putting this on my Sprint phone (XT1526). CM13 won't detect my Canadian SIM.

Could you please lend a fellow Ontarian brother a hand, and tell me where the OTA file actually is? I've had the damn thing for a week now, and I can't seem to find it anywhere to capture it! I would love to actually install this OTA...
I do appreciate your help in finding somebody who had done the work already. However the OTA that I have waiting on this phone is a slightly different one. the numbers are different 24.51.39.... my educated guess is going to be it is slightly smaller because it contains no Rogers or Telus bloatware. Wind Mobile does not have a single app installed on this phone right outta the box, So I would like to capture it before I send it off to be installed.
I have read many of your posts across multiple threads, and you are obviously quite knowledgeable -> especially in the coding Department!

Are you sure it's going to install?
Once you Root it or various other custom changes the updates will not install.
It checks if you were tampering with the phone and will deny the update.. even if you can download it.
Thanks for the kind words but i am not sure off hand unless i search around.
One thing you try doing is search online etc with the words Blur, Update, Zip, Location
Or if you have a file manager with root you can search for it.
The benefit of the full packages available is they just install on any phone with no checks.
It's also not an update but the full installer.
So i think it's possible you may download an update with patches.
So it will see what you had before and patch those files.
Which could make saving & using the update again later problematic
..especially if you root !
If you upload it publicly we can check and see if it's a full install or a patch by looking at updater-script probably.
If i were you i would keep tabs on the Firmware repositories to see if the Wind package gets uploaded.
Then you will have a full install you can use coming from most others and with the security checks removed.
If you have something that can search your system files installed you can try searching for something that
will probably have Blur in the file name and be a flashable zip file.
If you have TWRP installed i think you can just load that and look around with the Built-In File Manager.
I am eating lunch so i might look on the web soon and check back here.. good luck.
Sorry i have not done it before so maybe someone who has can speak up or you can find one of their topics here.

The OTA update file is in the device main memory in data/data/com.motorola.ccc.ota/app_download

Thanks hedimahf i will save that for future reference.
Also lenigma1too i am pretty sure if you rooted your phone then you can not install that update.
Those type of updates are risky for us that customize our phones.. be careful.. make plans to fix it ahead of time
Unless my phone was stock (not rooted) with the default recovery and an original factory locked bootloader
i myself would not even attempt to install the update.
Google it and see the many people talking about BootLoop problems
I bet there is also little difference between Wind, Rogers or Telus aside from a couple small APK's and the Modem data stuff.
If all three have the same radio band support then i wouldn't worry too much about which one to use.
Although you may end up struggling to get your phone calls and text's etc working again if you switch like that.
The Telus one i tried just had 1 extra APK the "My Telus" app and a shortcut to it on the phone.. i uninstalled it with ease.
Other than that i did not see ANY other app's installed that were not standard on the USA/EU retail versions etc
EDIT:
Oh and the BootLogo was like on Lollipop but slightly more blue.
And the Boot animation was new too.. Marshmallow Telus has "Stitches World" video.
The default wallpapers and the collection of them were like on Lollipop too.
EDIT:
My point was the Telus firmware only had "branding" with that one app.
Otherwise the word Telus does not show up anywhere really.
Also i tend to compare packages so i am keeping my eye out so i can see what is different.
If you want i can PM you if i run across Wind version.

I don't think you understood what this topic was about.
He was asking how to capture an OTA update.
Didi you read what was said?

The needed flashing method?

They are intended to used with RSDLite or ADB.
They are found on the big Firmware topic(s) here. (first post over there for links)
You should check out the discussion going on for help with that on those topics for best information.
Putting Firmware from on model onto another may break your ability to make phone calls
and then you would have to try and fix it somehow and it starts to get complicated.
Which is why those other topics are so valuable.. good luck.
I repeat the 2 zip's mentioned are NOT flashable-zip's. (they are just a normal zip file for storage)

A new OTA rolled out for many users.
I found it in root /cache
I am working on restoring my phone to stock and applying it.
I don't see anyone making a non-sign firmware package so..
EDIT:
I got it installed now.. it says Patch Level DEC 1st 2016 (instead of February)
System version version 24.71.4
I guess i have to re-apply a ton of changes now

Galaxy S5 SCL23 (SM-G900J)

Hello.
I just recently got Galaxy S5 which appears to be only sold in Japan. There's some custom firmware installed on it which prevents Android to be updated. Phone doesn't have SIM locked, so any SIM card can be used.
Because the forum doesn't allow me to post link to a screenshot which shows firmware info I'll just write it down.
Android version:
4.4.2
Baseband version:
SCL23KDU1BNE4
Kernel version:
3.4.0

I'd like to completely wipe this firmware from the device, replace it with the latest Android version (6.0?) and root it. At first I'd like to know if it's even possible to do any kind of firmware changes on this model and what exactly do I need to perform the update/root.
Thanks.

Doesn't look like there is a 6.0 stock ROM for it, but you can upgrade to 5.0 here
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=&v=&q=SCL23
Flash with ODIN (Instructions all over the forum many times)

Okay, instructions on updato seems quite easy to follow so that shouldnt be a problem. Is there any recommended tool for root? I've found a lot of them and I really don't want to mess something up.
PS: How come there's no stock ROM for 6.0 even tho it's been mentioned in some articles that SCL23 model is also supported by Marshmallow update?

Anyone?

Okay, update to 5.0 passed without any issues. There are some default japanese applications on the phone which I cannot uninstall, is it possible to get rid of those somehow?

I have the same device Do you update succeeded or not

I installed Android 6.0.1 and the network was missing help someone Galaxy scl23 or give the firmware 4.4.2 or help to find the GSM network

Go to this link & download 4.4.2 then follow this tutorial.
Make sure to use key input from the options & use capital letters where needed. All being well you will have everything working again.
Make sure not to use any download manager for the download link. File gets about 100kbps so it'll take a few hours but you will get it.
I did the above then rooted the phone & flashed correct TWRP version to it then flashed 5.0 Lollipop SpaceX rom here. Everything working good & no loss of service on reset or reboot.
Hope it helps

Download this version - MPD24.107-52 ASIA and not MPD24.107-70 or MPD24.107-52-5.
You will get one update for VoLTE on Jio (around 70MB OTA), and then another update for October patch bringing it up to MPD24.170-70-1.

OPPO F1s Can't install Firmware updates.

Hey all sorry to bother you but I can't install the update for my OPPO F1s. System Update states it is the latest version although it isn't, when I press the "Features" button it says "No Version Info"
When I try to manually update through recovery it states the same thing. I haven't updated the phone before as it's never asked even though I bought it the week the OPPO F1s was released in Australia. As far as I can tell it (With my extremely limited knowledge) it seems as though I don't have an official stock rom on my phone although I've never tampered with it.
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated as although not urgent it does worry me as I realised I may have bought a phone with some kinda of virus on it without realising and I've used it for a couple of years.
#UPDATE#
Turns out the firmware is oddly labelled but I figured out that the phone had been updated with stock 6.0 rom and the 5.1 rom has been updated since but the 6.0 was considered beta, hence so feature info.
Tracked down the latest 6.0 update I could find and installed it and BAM phone is back to normal with the plus-side of having a clean install. Sorry to bother you all with this.

Which firmware you have installed?
A1601EX_11.A.37_20190227 is it this?

Oppo Customer Care (India) advised users of F1s that no OTA update for 6.0 would be pushed and anyone wishing to update will have to go to service centre. Did that and it seems they too have installed the beta 6.0 ROM which says no version info. Version number : A1601EX_11_D.102_170923 (Security Patch June 2017)
Apparently the stable 6.0 update available for Indian users is version : A1601EX_11.A.37_20190227. But I am not sure whether it will update through recovery. Will try and let you know

i know two years have passed but im facing the same problem and i cant find the latest update of 6.0, can you link me there?pls
