Shame on Sony!! The latest security patches are oct 2016. Even my Sony Smartwatch 3 has sep 2016 patches...

No overheating fixes, no battery life fixes... Thanks Sony, I'll stay on 5.1.

Need wait someone to make a stock kernel with root support. Disable Sony RIC, DM and include DRM patch and set to permissive mode before I can use it.

Waiting for ota.

What the heck is up with Sony? Z5C hasn't even completed a year and the security patch updates is way behind. At least fix the damn camera issues on AOSP and provide better support maybe then people won't turn away from you.

Honestly I'm personally surprised that they are only a few months behind. I would imagine that the amount of testing/QA/bureaucratic red tape to get this update out the door is enough to make updates late. Keep in mind that when the unsupported roms/devs brick your phone or their updates result in loss of features there is no recourse.
I am not saying its a great situation but I do appreciate that the updates are still coming. I also appreciate the time Sony is investing to keep these updates coming. I just hope that we can all appreciate the effort from the Sony devs.

Is the direct share issue fixed?

Big thanks but your kernel is elf not img. Can I flash twrp.img with fastboot command prompt after flash your kernel? or elf comes with twrp?

No,the elf does not contain twrp. You can try flashing twrp.img using cmd and fastboot. I will make a kernel with twrp. Will keep you posted.
If you have problem flashing elf then try flashing the same after renaming the kernel to kernel.img
I hope it works.

Now you don't have to install twrp manually. I have merged recovery with the kernel.
Download the same from attachements.
Thank You!

Xperiacheck is telling me the update is out in Norway, Telenor NO. But there is nothing on my phone or Xperia Companion..

The rollout might be in phases. I think you will receive the update in a week.

Does anyone else have a problem installing this update ?
I can download it the phone restarts (startup seems normal) and I get an error saying "could not be installed"
I even tried a factory reset.

Nova Plus MLA.....

Is it possible, to open a thread for the Nova Plus MLA-LXX only?
Root, firmwareupdates , etc.

i think its a good idea...im in canada /rogers with mla-l03...and not much here for our version

Not rooted ( yet ) but got the unlock code, me too
have the code, yet not used, all my other mobiles ihave rooted

Like i said...our device is a one pretty young...birth in september so...theres no rush to "enter the dragon" :angel:
But very anxious to try nouEmui

i have tried the unlock code, and it works, but i have relocked it.....

I've the MLA-L11 too. would be awsome to have a working TWRP , no use in getting bt unlocked
unless there is a custom recovery. I'd say we find a dev and donate enough to persuade him to work
on a twrp !

Hi, where is the android 7.0 for us, I hate Huawei when they are late on softwares....! I'm having a problem to use youtube over the phone network with my Nova Plus.
Thanks

guys the MLA varients work with xelfmade's TWRP recovery and roms can be unified to work on all varients

Ota upgrade made with my MLA-L03 to Nougat yesterday and all working great! Used FF to push the update via proxy and changed from C654B140 to C578B302 with stock updated app. Best I've like the phone yet!! Big improvement in every aspect so far.

Buddy,
for us using the MLA-L03 can you explain in details how you did that ? Been waiting for ages to get that OTA update that never comes lol
Thanks in advance

Hallo,

You can try this to update to Nougat: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G79/g0/v73849/f1/full/update.zip Extract all the files and place them in a dload folder then place that on the root of your SD Card and install it using the three button method. If your Build Number is not showing up correctly after installing that install this: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L11_hw_eu/update_data_full_MLA-L11_hw_eu.zip using the same method as before. If it does not work the first time you may need to flash the stock EMUI 5 Nougat recovery which will let you install Nougat updates, I had to do this for the CAN-L01C432 variant as the update kept stopping at around 40%. EMUI 5 Nougat Recovery: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4T1GJ6EZ3LvTWNpZ0p5YXVINGs It is up to you to try it and I am not trying to make you as I do not have a MLA variant so I do not know if it will work or not. I hope this this helps.

Like I said you may need to flash the stock EMUI 5 Nougat recovery first before any of the Nougat updates work, the big update is the Nougat update and the smaller one is functionality. Let me know how it goes if you try it.

Yes, understand, which build is it and is there no problem to get the official one when i had install it?
If it doesn`t work how to get back to notmal firmware?
I have all my devices rooted , but this one not, there are to less informations about my build, therefore i have no twrp installed.
Im careful, my last device was honor 7, and i have no problem with twrp and root, but more informations.
Download is very slow.
Do you have made the update to nougat, and does it run without bugs?

Oh Ok. Thanks!
Whoever downloads it needs to be sure that their phone hasn't been altered. If so, it will break their phone. That's what happened to me and now I am trying to figure out a way to get it working again.

I can not go into the pick up and install ROM. I have an unofficial firmware and with the combination of vol + and power does nothing. please help

It's a matter of timing. I had to try it several times until I got the timing right.

Weird. Mine is as well and the update screwed it up. Had to re-flash the phone.

I have Nokia 6 (TA-1000)
The version number is 00CN_3_170 and the security patch is dated April 1, 2017
Can I use your update.zip to update my phone?

Why would you want to update to this July version?
I guess you must be already having Google Play Services and Google Play Store installed in your phone?
The July update is basically for users without Google Play Services and Play Store.
After installing this ROM you will have to download Play Store APK and install manually.

Neck. I have all the services of google plays ... i heard July bug fixes in Camera and language so i want to update.

Key for me is to get the power on pin security setting I believe came with may update... I am still on April security patch with play services installed... But never getting updates. Hoping the update would also get the pin option and latest updates should start downloading in the future. Is this not the case?

Sideloading

Hey guys I recently sideloaded the latest oreo beta version on my s8 and now I am wondering if when the oficial oreo 8.0 comes out I will be able to get it OTA or will I have to use Odin to go back to BQL1 and then do the OTA update? I am obviously not part of the samsung beta program.

Theoretically, we are strongly advised to wipe out everything and start from scratch. However, I would rather do it once Oreo is out.
I couldn't help noticing an error occurred during the installation process, some SYSTEM folder or partition that couldn't be mounted due to ACCESS DENIED. Perhaps this is something related with having the device encrypted?

Yes I remember I saw the error as well, but everything seems working fine so far. I have T mobile and I know that the release of Oreo is going to take a while because they are not even in the testing phase yet.
Do you think we're going to need to flash back to BQL1 and then Oreo? Btw which Baseband version you have installed? I got ZRA6

Yes I am positive I have ZRA6 I got it from: https://samsung.firmware.science
I came across this website looking for ways to update to Oreo. I understand that all the firmware versions he has in the website are officially released by Samsung (including the Betas), the only downside is that he does not specify which software is which, you have to know the baseband versions you are installing.

That site only featured the build intended for the Snapdragon variant of the S8, also known as 950U. If you installed that build on your 950F I'm surprised you haven't bricked it.

VS995

Can Someone make a Stock Rom for the VS995 for TWRP
or point to a guide that allows you to update to the latest system files and security patches.
Verizon started rolling out Vs99519A recently and for what ever reason I cant update my system past (15a) and keep root using kdz writer

Still waiting on the kdz for 19a. AlphaRom is close to stock and it's built off 18a

Yes, last night, Happy Valentine's Day to me and my phone!
So far the update appears as "Mostly Harmless" it's billed as security fixes.
After installing the phone didn't melt, brick, explode, rip, snort, farkle nor fall apart so, again, "Mostly Harmless."

I updated yesterday also, and can not find anything new or different? Other than my phone is really slow for about 10 minutes after the update/reboot, then it runs fine.
Not much info on the internet other than security update.

Still no antirollback on this latest update (VS9951AA)???

Just received an update tonight from Verizon.
Running Alpha 1aa....I blocked the update just passing the info along.
