It seems incomplete on my Galaxy S5 (SM-G900M)...
For example, when I turn down the volume of my phone I do not see the options to turn on/off priority mode.
Also, I do not have the option to make applications sensitive when I go to "Sounds and notifications" (I wanted to do that so I can hide some, but not all my notifications on my Lock Screen).
I've noticed a lot of other features that other S5's have with Lollipop that mine does not have at the moment for some reason.
There's a video on YouTube that covers both things I mentioned above. (Forum won't let me link the video, so just search for "Official Android 5.0 Lollipop on Samsung Galaxy S5 [Review]" if you don't know what I am talking about there).
Sooo, does anyone know what's going on here?
Does anyone have/had the same problem?
Thanks in advance
Bump
Can anybody help me please? :/
Bumping this again.
Sorry if I am being annoying, I just wanted to get this fixed asap >.<
Will stop now if no one still knows :c
May I ask how did you installed Lollipop? I have the same model as yours and I haven't received yet. Mine is from Telcel Mexico SM-G900M. I could test on mine to see if it has the same problem after installling it. Thanks.
I got the same issue on mine. I did an OTA update.
From what carrier and country is your phone? Please.
It's an sm-G900F tele2 Sweden
Sorry for taking a while to answer, I was travelling.
I bought my phone in Brazil (which is the country where I currently live) and my phone carrier is called VIVO.
I did install the update manually. It was the official update though.
I am missing the priority settings on my phone (G900F) as well.
I'm on the newest BOB7 release via Kies from Germany.
Well good to know I am not the only one haha
So does anyone have an idea of what we could do to fix that?
A friend told me to do a factory reset and that it would resolve this issue, but I don't see how it would work. And I'm not that interested to do a reset due to that my phone is encrypted. Otherwise I would have tested this.
I did a factory reset after updating to BOB7, so that solution is not working.

Well that sucks, I was about to give it a shot.
I can't believe no one has a clue about our problem x.x
Well mate i would say re-flash the stock 5.0 lollipop firmware and factory reset that would solve the problem for sure . Download the firmware from sammobile since is the most trusted one . This fix usualy comes with a positive things for me

I also have the same model, and I would like tro try Lollipop, from where did you downloaded the official update and installed manually?
Thanks
So I want to kind of start this discussion and work on a fix. Ideally a fix without root, if it's possible.
According to the Chinese forums, the Chinese version (which I'm getting because I want 128GB of storage) has been altered as of version B115 to not include the necessary GMS framework to allow installation of google services, play store, and so on.
Previous versions (some Chinese models shipped with B109) included the ability to load Google Services.
The first step in fixing this for people whose phones ship with more recent firmware is to find a full package of B109. The only other option will be bootloader unlock and flashing of either international firmware or google play services after unlocking the bootloader.
My phone will arrive here in Japan tomorrow, so I will work on reverse engineering the update server like I did with Mate 8, and keep everyone up to date with any progress. Does anyone else have plans to buy the Chinese version? Please feel free to chime in!
UPDATE!!
As of December, Huawei has released a package to install google services on the Mate 9. Simply search the HiApp store for GMS and get the first result.
Couldn't just install a international from through the update?
So your saying if I purchase this from a Chinese online mobile store I wont be able to get google play store on it im in need of a new phone so bad and wanted this

You will be able to get Google Play store on it IF your phone ships with version B109 or earlier. Apparently this is rare. Otherwise, you will not be able to without unlocking your bootloader, at this time. My phone is supposed to arrive today, so I will be a guinea pig and figure out what needs to be done, as obviously it's useless to me without Google Play.
I have bought Chinese huawei mate 9 too. And it doesn't have google. If anyone knows the solution please help

Good! We work together again, like the old days!
Do you have the international one now? Can you use wireshark and find out the http query from eRecovery to get the location to the latest firmware?
For example, you can get latest Mate 8 AL10 firmware like this:
Code:
curl -d '{"rules":{"D_version":"","DeviceName":"HUAWEI NXT-AL10","saleinfo":"||||||||N","IMEI":"","FingerPrint":"","FirmWare":"HUAWEI NXT-AL10-all-cn","IMSI":"","C_version":"","OS":"","HotaVersion":"e.0.1","Language":"","devicetoken":"","PackageType":"full"}}' http://query.hicloud.com:80/sp_ard_common/v2/Check.action?latest=True

Yes as usual man :good::good: It's always a pleasure work together with you. I think is possible to create temp root but I don't know which command I can use. I write temp root script but I can test after this monday. I bought mate 9 6 GB version
No problem to have roms location (like mate 8 times) but I must wait mate 9 chinese version (international one can send me tomorrow)

I also bought same version. Do you currently have European version in your hands? I think it might be possible to use some tricks to write European firmware onto Chinese version.

Now this is very confusing. I ordered the 4/64GB version from aliexpress. All of the descriptions (of all sellers) on ali clearly highlights all the network features and bands that are only supported by the european model of Mate9, called "MHA-L29". Huawei's official specs clearly say MHA-L29 is dual-sim supported and MHA-L09 (=chinese version) is not.
I asked the seller and after 3-4 questions he finally replied it's the chinese version (of course) but tried to convince me that it will work with google play because every huawei phone they sell can work with play.
I can't risk it to have a phone that I have to mod to use play, and I can't expect the firmware updates easily without any problem/risk.
I cancelled the order, asked a few other sellers they all have the chinese version. It seems I can't get the european version with a lower price I have to wait till the phone launches here, and it will be much more expensive.
What is your opinion how difficult will it be to update the firmware with sufficient google services by tricks on the chinese models? Would you recommend it to a noob like me(I unlocked bootloaders and stuff but I can only follow specific directions) to have the chinese model backed by a worthless warranty?

I think it will be possible to do with specific directions, probably within a month -- hopefully sooner. I also think it's possible that Huawei re-introduces the ability to install Google services into a future update, because the outcry from the Chinese community is huge.
Once I find the way to do it, I will make as easy-to-follow guide as I can, but I can't promise anything! It might be very difficult if it's too different from the Mate 8.
My advice to you is to wait until a solution has been found before buying the Chinese version.

Thanks, I'm gonna wait a little more then. I cancelled my order before shipment so they must refund me without any problem. There will be a 130-150 USD difference comparing the chinese version to prices in my country. I'm hesitating to either wait for this phone or buy the OnePlus 3T on the 28th of november, but I really like the Mate9.
A best solution could be to completely trasform chinese into european. With european rom, european modem and other features like sar reduction : do you remember that mate 8 EU had a string "sar reduction yes" that in chinese there wasn't?
Do you think that is possibile to convert At 100% chinese in european? (with unlock bootloader)
We can work At this?

Customs delayed my phone's delivery to Monday, so I can't really say without looking at how it works, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't be possible to convert the Chinese version to the european one as long as we have an unlocked bootloader or root.

Hello XDA Members
I tried to flash a stock rom into this s8 plus retail demo model# G955XU through ODIN 3.12.3 using stock firmware from sammobile. I get a PASS from ODIN but when the phone reboots and tries to install the files it goes upto 32% then restarts then this message comes up:
"Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost"
I tried 3 different firmware from BELL, Rogers & Telus G955W Canadian carriers but no result. Also when I unzip the firmware files from Sammobile I get 5 files BL. Ap. CP. CSC_OYA & Home_CSC_OYA but in odin there are only 4 slots. I tried both home and CSC file into the CSC slot but no results. Your help will be greatly appreciated
Why do you want demo mode? It's literally a resource hog and can only be removed with hard reset. If you want the demo videos that come preloaded, you can download them from the Samsung retail website

Hello
Hello there
I am facing the same problem, flashed with Odin and got and error message: The phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is Locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support.
Any way around this problem?
Do let me know guys
In Europe for the S6 and S7 the demo units do not have the same hardware as the retail products for cost efficiency. There is therefore no way to get them to work with a retail software version.
I have not had any feedback as to the S8 but chances are that it is the same.
Shops here often get them free of charge and some do sell them to make some extra money.

1. Sounds like a stolen phone?
2. Hardware may be, and likely is, different as another user pointed out.
3. Even if you got it to work you couldn't make phone calls or use mobile data as the IMEI will likely be blocked/blacklisted by all the telcos.
Hey there guy I got a S8 SM-G950X LDU . Anybody knows how to flash it with odin?
This just doesnt seem right.
It is likely a stolen phone or something else.
I am closing thread for now.

Doesn't seem like it's updatable at this point in time.
Reached out to ZTE: No updates available. If there were to be it would be through bell/Virgin as it's specific build/firmware/model.
Reached out to Virgin, bell and PC mobile as well. If something interesting comes from it I will surely post.

I don't think this version has NFC. There is no mention of it anywhere.

I got the Axon 7 mini from PC Mobile as well. Looks like the Canadian mini is a variant P852A15H, without NFC.
Any idea how to get rid of the carrier name at the top right? SytemUI tuner doesn't seem to activate either.
The mini is really sleek and light! Haven't had the battery issues mentioned in reviews either. Wish we could update to N though.
For what it's worth, there may be some activity behind the scenes for a minor update to the Canadian Axon 7 Mini late this month.
If this individual is to be believed, it will be bug fixes and security patches ONLY. That is, it will NOT be an upgrade to Nougat; we'll still be stuck on Marshmallow. But at least we'd end up with a security patch newer than late-2016.

Confirmed. 105.67 MB download, the device stays on Marshmallow. It brings the device from the November 1, 2016 security patch to February 5, 2018.
This is the first OTA ever released for the Canadian variant. It would include fixes for some pretty high-profile vulnerabilities, such as Blueborne, Krack, and Spectre, so it's definitely welcome.

good luck with that
The Canada-specific version of the Axon 7 Mini was not sold on the open market, but rather was sold as a bundle through one of Bell Canada's affiliates. (I am aware of it being sold through Virgin Mobile and PC Mobile.) As such, it is running a customized OS that was approved by Bell Canada. The Bell Canada-specific OS has always been visually distinct from the version of the OS that shipped on open-market versions of the Axon 7 Mini; in my opinion it appears quite a bit more similar to the vanilla Android experience, with the exception of the preinstalled Bell account management apps.
Unfortunately, because the phone was bundled through Bell Canada, that means that ZTE will also be obliged to get Bell Canada's approval of any OS updates that may be offered for the phone. We've already seen, with the patch that was released earlier this year, that the OS update path being approved by Bell Canada is following a very different track from what ZTE has been offering on the open market, and I don't expect to see that change any time soon.
And it really doen't matter if ZTE's engineering department is technically capable of offering Nougat or newer for this device. They'd still have to get it cleared by Bell Canada first before they could distribute it.
Hey Their guys. I recently bought a one plus 6t off of Amazon. I was a refurbished model. It came running oxygenOS 9.0.11. I am very concerned as the security patch is from December 2018. When I go to the updater page it shows that the phone is up to date even though I'm on an old security patch and old version of oxygen. If you guys could walk me through the updating process that would be awesome. Also the build number is ONEPLUSA6013_34_181226.

Please read through this thread, starting with this post, and see if it relates to your phone. If it does, head to post one and see how to determine if your phone is T-mobile branded or T-mobile changed to international. Then it gets really simple.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307/page28
Once you are sure which state your phone is in, you will be able to search out which Upgrades to download manually, and how to install them from the phone itself.
