Hello friends,
Something really strange has happend today, I connected my SGS to KIES and got a message saying "new firmware upgrade available"... You all can guess what was my first thought.
But no, it wasn't Froyo ,it was the same firmware that I previously had??? I really don't get what's going on, I live in Mexico, my phone was bought on UK online, and my phone CSC is from TMN (Portugal).
Not using any custom firmware, I have only rooted and installed voodoo lagfix, absolutely nothing else.
Any one else having same "upgrade" available?
By the way, this is the upgrade:
Model Name: GT-I9000
Current Version: PDA:JM8 / Phone:JM4 / CSC:JM1
Latest Version: PDA:JM8 / Phone:JM4 / CSC:JM1
Just wanted to let you know about this since I didn't found anything related in the forums today.
Cheers
I got exactly the same thing :|
Only this is a canadian SGS on canadian soil, no reg was done and it's all just the same JH2 all over the place :|
Minor fix maybe?
I confirm the same in India but should we upgrade or not??????
Same here in the UK.
PDA:JM1 / PHONE:JM1 / CSC:JM1 and I'm offered the same thing...
Really To update or not to update, that is the question...
I tried to upgrade, but my workplace's firewall keeps blocking download...
maybe it's some kind of minor update before being able to move to froyo?
tried it again and now it says latest version is installed

Very strange. Same here.
That is strange, sounds like a false alarm... or some kind of testing from Samsung.
testing i suppose
Got this as a work phone a few weeks back, am on the Bell network in Canada. I had the same upgrade message this morning, and did upgrade.
Do not see of feel anything different, if anyone has any specific info they want me to search on the phone - let me know
Regards
GT-I9000HKDXEU e GT-I9000HKDITV donìt work
FWIW and should anyone be interested
As noted - have had the phone for about three weeks now, and it is a bone stock phone - being used on the Bell Network. I grabbed the details from the phone, as after a few hours of use, the unit does appear to be much more responsive and "quick". This of course could just be a placebo effect.
Model: GT-I9000M
Firmware: 2.1 update 1
Baseband: I9000UGJH2
Kernel: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build: Eclair.UGJH2
I did not catalog the details before the upgrade - so do not know if anything has been changed.
Regards,
I don't think much has changed on your phone details, maybe you just got some system files overwritten. Did your phone language change after installing update? ,or did you loose any configuration you had previously set?

Doesn't KIES basically nuke the phone and put the new firmware over, minus the internal and external SDs? As in you lose your apps and configs?

All installed apps were gone - all email settings, etc were gone as well. Seemed like a new flash, had to reset my Google account info as well.
language did not change
Regards,
when I updated from JM1 to JM8 through KIES I didn't loose anything, my phone kept all apps, and configurations, but my language and other configurations got lost...
Seems like you flashed "same" firmware again, hopefully a better than you previously had, your phone's performance improvement might be due to loosing all apps.
Apart from that, everything is the same? did you loose any carrier customization? or get new apps you didn't had before?

What's the status you received ?
No update available or this device couldn't be updated ?
I guess it's somewhat different...
Thanks

Everything is the same - did not loose any carrier customization, no new apps. As noted, it does "seem" a bit quicker, and I do not think the two apps I had installed make the difference ( APNDroid and Vizbattery widget ) I have since re-installed the two apps, and the phone feels just as quick.
The one complaint I had from the start was the low volume on the ear piece for incoming calls. At full volume - I was having trouble hearing the people on the other end. That appears to be a bit better. I will keep an eye on that - as noted, has been my number one complaint to date.
Regards,
PS - doubt anything has really changed - probably just the fact of an update makes me think it is different / better in some way.
Looks like that some of the Nexus S got the wrong software that makes them at the moment not capable to get the 2.3.1 update neither manual nor as OTA. If you find under phone information "userdebug" you won't be able to update yet. It looks like Google just found out about this problem a couple of days ago. I got my phone today and this is not a good start with the Nexus S experience:-( I will wait a few days and otherwise this phone goes back to BestBuy.
Below is comment from Nick Kralevich who works for the Android security team:
"userdebug" versions of Android are intended for engineering use only. It contains additional debugging compared to "user" builds. The hardware is exactly the same. You'll never get an update for a userdebug version of Android, which is naturally bad.
You can find out if you have a userdebug build by going to "Settings > About Phone > Build number" and looking for a userdebug string.
We're still investigating how this happened, but we believe it to be extremely rare.
If you are running a userdebug build, can you please contact me directly at [email protected]? Please make sure the subject contains "Android userdebug problem" so I can find your e-mail more easily.
I would appreciate it if you could include the following information:
* Where did you buy the phone? Store location?
* IMEI (Available by going to Settings > About Phone > Status > IMEI)
* Your google account name used on the phone.
This will help me assemble a list of people affected by this bug.
Thanks!

I dont have this problem but great find
Hi all
Count me in on this one. Good find, I was wondering why no OTA notification came up on my device...
Purchased mine at Best Buy @ Millenia Mall Orlando, FL
If you are having a phone having userdebug based firmware please contact [email protected], he has personally contacted me and gave me a solution. Google has taken customer service to a whole NEW level my friends.
I state again, anyone not being able to Update to 2.3.1 due to firmware version having "soju-userdebug 2.3 GRH55 79397 test-keys", "pre-released os" contact [email protected]
thanks mythamp.
does re-locking the bootloader after flashing allow me to get stock OTA updates? I read in another thread that when I flash CWM I loose the ability to update by OTA... thanks for any clarification!
I believe that firmware is completely stock and it even overrides the clockworkmod recovery with stock recovery. I have faith that this will receive OTA updates but I cannot test it and confirm until google sends out one!
I just exchanged my SNS against one with the normal software. It is so much faster now and I don't have problems installing applications from the market anymore. If you have a phone with the userdebug software running try to exchange it. I had no problems at BestBuy today.
Hi all,
For the most up to date information about this "userdebug" problem, please contact Google at [email protected].
Edited 2011-03-30 to use [email protected] instead of my personal e-mail address
Userdebug problem
What exactly was the solution for those of you with the problem?
I have emailed the people suggested but have had no response for two weeks so am just wondering whether there is another way to get a solution so i can get OTA updates or whether i should jump ship and get CM7.
Thanks
It looks like after hundred years of wait the final version of Marshmallow is here
But the thread about it have already flooded with hackers and people who root and are in general very advanced users.
Most people of us here have not rooted or touched the boot loader, all the problem we might see in the other thread might be because of the reason
that they have modified the phone in different ways.
so lets discuss of this update work for us who have non-modifed devices ? And let
keep all advanced "root" and hacking talk please. Especially since that in its own might confuse people
cause modified devices might cause problems that we do not get for people who have had patience
to not modified there devices or install any Beta versions of android.
It is not much information at this point about what versions that it is compatible with
but it can be downloaded here
http://www.huaweiblog.de/android/mar...fiziell-final/
I think we are all eager to install this device but there is not much info
we simply need more people to try and confirm what works and not
I think most people in this thread will be on lollipop b331
So it would be nice if people could try and confirm if it works from this version
will all data be wiped ?
You need to do full backup ?
Let us know what problem you get into.
For more advanced rooting and hacking talking use the other thread
this thread is for people with non experience of that
I myself am on B513 and tried updating to the final marshmallow build yesterday and it did not work, i tried both methods of updating, using the dialer method would not even recognize there was an update on my sd card, the power button and volume up and down method started and got to about 5% and then failed. This was all also done on a clean Mate 7, no root or anything and I even reset and wiped the device before trying the update. Either I'm doing something wrong in the update process or this update does not work on B513. Any help would be great in figuring this update out!

This is really valuable information thanks I am in the same situation as you. I have not tried to update myself I want to make sure all this work before I start to backup and wipe my device as you might understand.

So are you on B331 or B513?
B331
From what i have gathered, we may have a problem with the 'cust'. Aparently the verion that's around only works with C432 and some of us have C900 (you can easily check this in 'about phone/build number'. I hope someone with more knowledge can guide us

I upgraded from B513
bug on B522
Hello everyone I have noticed a bug under Marshmallow, some applications like facebook or twitter messenger does not run in the background and suddenly I not receive notifications if they are closed ( the same thing with B513 ) .
All the parameters are good , apps are "protected" and have all the permissions to do it ( run in background ) : it comes from Marshmallow or must wait for updated applications concerned ?
Second question , twice I managed to see integrated into the " phone " application during a call , the keys to Register the call or forward ... it lasted only 5/10 seconds and I unable to remember what I hit to make them appear .. you have an idea ?
Thank you (you and google translate )
we all know that huawei is the most incompetent out of all android oem's, but i dont think they're such idiots to release final version software with such restrictions to who can install it. the update demands too specific conditions to succeed.. i am on c900b331 and im sick of waiting. guys, even 4 years old nexus 4 works WAY better, more smooth and stable than mate 7. i guess we're just used to how it works but since few days im using iphone se and... i think i couldnt go back to huawei. this thing barely works compared to iphone.. still got the mate7, and nexus 4 and waiting to test out final marshmallow.
my concern is this whole b522 is not a stable final yet.
So far everything is running pretty smooth, updated from c900b513 to c900b522 and works great so far, only noticeable thing is the new health app and all but one theme is deleted, but they can easily be downloaded and added again if you want them, ram management is far better, I'll see how battery is tomorrow
Hi,
My newly bought S7 edge is having problems. I noticed that after some time, it is not possible to make any calls or use data even though the range is shown as full in the status bar.
After thorough trial and error, found that the issue is coming only if 4G/LTE is enabled. Otherwise, if i switch to 3G, it works. This is the issue for both the sim slots :crying:
Anyone else who has had this issue . I'm running the latest October patch of Android 6.0.1. Is this a software bug or a hardware issue. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated
U can try reflashing an old firmware to discard that the update caused the problem.

The problem is since, it is a new phone, I don't know whether it is the update which causes the problem. I upgraded the software immediately after receiving the phone. Is anyone with the latest october update having the same issue?
I checked online, and it seems like some people have had similar issues in past. Just not sure whether it is a software issue or a hardware. And I honestly dread doing the set up again, as unlike past times (i always root my phone, but because of knox tripping, haven't rooted yet), when titanium backup was there, this would mean lots of time on re-setup
MMMmmm I only had that problem on a phone that wasnt 4g capable but had that option enabled but was because I flashed a firm that wasnt supposed to use.
If its new you can go to warranty and exchange for a new one but my curiosity will remail if it was about the october patch...
I have the same issue... it might just be a bug that will be resolved in the next update

Oh, that's a relief. So, this issue came after updating the software. Before that, it was working for you?

I was finally able to get the 4G mode also working. Not exactly sure what did the trick.
Here's what I did:
1. Flashed an older version (Aug version) which I found on samfirwmare -> Didn't work
2. Flashed an even older version (July version) -> Didn't work
and then updated the software -> started working
The funny thing is the software is the same as before (the same version as was earlier - October build)
Mods, please close the thread

Hi,
I have a Pace with stock english rom and have been disappointed at lack of updates to ROM or supporting app. However it looks as though I may have received an OTA update this morning, but not completely certain. I was syncing with the app when the watch screen went black/off, hasn't happened before. There was a pause of a few seconds then the A logo appeared, but none of the swirly stuff like at power up just a couple of spinning circles, then a message "optimising apps" and counting through the number of apps just like a typical android ota update. The version number still says 1.30n like before and I can't see any obvious changes. Has anyone else seen this??
If users can post date and ROM version on this thread whenever they receive an OTA update on their Pace (Pace stock only please) it might be helpful to others.
if you're on 1.3.0n ... there was no update
Thanks 1imortal.
OK, if not an update what did I see? Where did the "optimising apps" message come from?
When was 1.3.0n rolled out, is it recent?
A little more detail please would be helpful.
1.3.0n was the initial version that came on the US variant of the watch, the Amazfit Pace, and was not updated since it came out.
what you have seen is probably a launcher crash with an update of apps, i've seen this on the CN version as well few times on my watch as well.
currently there is no definite ETA of the US OTA update, there are a lot of users that eagerly wait for it.

Many thanks, most helpful, makes more sense now. Will rejoin the patient queue for firmware and app updates that should develop the watch from good to great!
1.3.1 just came out. Just updated - new and custom watch faces, looks good. Some new run modes and a few optimizations.
Need help with 1.3.1m update
I recently flashed my ROM with full English ROM (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...utorial-convert-xiaomi-huami-amazfit-t3532508) I'm running 1.3.0n now. recently I got notification on 1.3.1m update but I can't update mine (failed to apply the update after downloaded and have to restart using the button).
Anyone has the same problem as I do? hopefully comes with solution too
Thanks in advance.
yes, have the same message. Think we have to wait...

Guys, the problem is solved for more than a week now. It is described in the first post of the thread (red bold text)..
Thank you, @Neuer_User
I ran into this thread after downgrading from your ROM to stock, and OTA always showed an error. Your post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71264431&postcount=599 solved this.
