New update has dropped. Version P-MR2-RC001-RZR-190914.3123 and brings the phone up to September 5th for security updates.
I have the update pending but I don't want to download just yet to ensure compatibility with Arter97's kernel. If the WiFi is really better then I might jump on regardless because that's my primary issue at this point. Can anyone confirm either the kernel works or the WiFi is noticably better?

Compatibility hasn't been confirmed yet, but previous discussions with someone who had an AT&T version that was on a July update had issues with arter97's kernel on September's update. The kernel seemed to be incompatible as it failed to boot and also switched the phone back to the old slot afterwards.

This seems to be a differential update, as the boot.img is 1/4 of the normal size. I thought, I could patch it with magisk... [emoji53]

It seems to be the case as the images are rather small. I'm not sure what to do now that I'm on Havoc OS GSI. Is there a possible way to patch stuffs other than system (such as vendor)?
I'm yet to make a backup as the current app I use for backup (Migrate) doesn't appear to work properly on this phone (while it worked on my previous one, Xperia XZ Premium), and that Titanium Backup hasn't been updated to be compatible with new features (such as split apks) so some backups can no longer work properly after restoring.
I also need to know if there were any improvements regarding Bluetooth compatibility. Currently I cannot use my bluetooth headset on GSI (only phone calls work), even with a modded overlay (with values changed to undo Razer's crippling of certain features such as aptX).
EDIT: I guess it's not that easy as the payloads are most likely block-based OTAs. These updates do not tolerate any changes on the partitions unlike file-based OTAs that we used to have. We'll have to wait for full factory images to come out and make a list of what we really need to flash from stock updates...
Any issues with the update etc please lmk everyone!
Enjoy it!

Wish I knew!
But I can say to them that people are wanting the factory images if no major issues are present I can't see why it wont be up there but that's me.
I tried updating but it gives me an error everytime.
(Using the Deodoxed version)
Can someone help me with this ?
So trying to game plan here. Logic tells me to flash boot, vendor, and system from factory image of current build. Then let the system update itself. Then flash arter kernel, then go into twrp and flash latest magisk zip to get root.
Is this update still Android 9 or is this taking us to android 10?

This is the standard OTA that needs stock recovery & the update is still Android Pie/9
Also, for anyone that's curious, it doesn't seem to fix any of the speaker phone/call quality issues currently present in Android Pie/9 (but weren't present in Oreo). I can't speak to Wi-fi performance improvements, or other fixes mentioned in the update notice, but I am very thankful that Razer has released this OTA with security patches through September of 2019 ? ?. Thank you Razer!
Wifi
The WiFi is fixed for wifi calling I believe if you put this phone into airplane mode and trying wifi calls it would glitch the wifi out before now seems to work
I think I'll wait to install it until someone else who is more educated in this tests it and makes a guide for it to put stock back on and whatever we need to do to make Arter 97 kernel work with it.
Any fixes to the camera apk?

i reflashed the stock firmware and ran the update to get the latest security update. I also have arter97 r11 kernel installed and magisk and have it rooted with no problems. Google Pay works as well as I was able to get it to pass the CTC scan.

It's here folks, Lollipop for Verizon's iteration of the LG G Pad 8.3, the VK810 (code name "Altev"). You can start downloading and installing via Settings - System Updates - Check for Updates. I don't have the time to update today, but please tell me how it comes out for you.
Modders, rooters, and ROMans (ROMers?) out there, I'd love to hear if you keep root with OTA Survival Mode or Chuck Norris mode enabled in your super user app (SuperSU, SuperUser, etc...) or if you can find the file ( @roirraW "edor" ehT you seem to be the king of KDZs for our device) to flash via TWRP.
Thumbs up if this post was helpful and don't forget to vote on that poll.
***Reserved for bug reports, issues, and fixes***
I will try to keep this up to date as they come in.
I used the kdz in normal mode and lost root.
I was waiting for someone else to make a centralized thread for issues, so I wouldn't have to maintain it. ?
Under 35A_08, I can't seem to expand notifications in the pulled down notification shade. You can expand them at least on an insecure lock screen (swipe) and it seems that what you expand there are then expanded in the notification shade too. I think this survives a reboot.

Already rooted without downgrading. Check my guide in general section.

Took the OTA. Lost root. Trying to decide whether I need to root again.......
There's an official lollipop update for 8.3 VZW? Missed that
Sent from my Nexus 6
Do I need a Verizon SIM in it to pull the OTA?
I've tried both the update button in settings and the "Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant" PC client.
Tmo SIM doesn't work, VZW does
Fortunately I had an active VZW SIM out of a Galaxy Tab 2.
It asked me to download with it in, and would not let me see it with a T-Mobile SIM. Kept saying I was up to date.
Put the VZW SIM back in and it let me get it. Downloading over WiFi now, just over 600 megs.
Sure they'll gladly send you the OTA with an active VZW SIM, probably hoping you'll use your data allotment to do it...
Typical VZW antics, which is why I'll never use Verizon. MAYBE if someone else paid for it, but I'd resist even then. Worst carrier IMHO except of course their coverage is great. I carry a PagePlus $10/120 days for emergencies, camping, etc.
But I digress...

Previous releases for the VK810 had LG Backup? I'm not saying they didn't, just if they did I never noticed it. Was it (originally) in the same place it is on the G3 (Settings / Backup & Reset)? It is in fact not available there on 35A_08, but I know at some point I looked there on 24A and didn't see it either - unless I only checked after I had debloated it and I took it out by mistake or not knowing.
Was it definitely available on 24A? Curious because on the G3 once I tried it, I noticed it sure was fast and easy, and might not trump Titanium Backup for all purposes, but certainly for my most common uses.

I thought it was a twrp flash. LG flash tool. Won't you lose root/recovery? I'd like to see a rooted twrp like they do in S5 vzw&art threads. Simple kernel swap..Voila

Definitely no LG Backup for the last 3-4 OTAs, but I haven't owned it long enough to speak for the entirety of the software history. I know that this device has been hamstrung by some of the carriers' antics by not including some basics that the flagship phones enjoy like a full feature Quick Remote, the absence of LG Backup (which just may be the best BU short of Titanium), and the exclusion of baked in goodies like Dual Window and adjustable Emersive Mode (hides the nav bar on a per-app basis). I know DW fix can be found, but not sure about the others yet.

Gotcha. Last I checked the SnapDragon Battery Guru wouldn't install from the Play Store on my G3's Lollipop, but I haven't checked lately and I don't recall if I tried just restoring it from Titanium Backup. I'll check again on the G3 and on this device in case it's changed (probably not), thanks for the reminder.

Did anyone get a notification for an update today? The version is "PB1" (LRX21T.G900VVRU2BPB1). It appears to just be a security patch. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/galaxy-s5-update/ Assuming someone will dump it out, root it, and we'll be able to flash with FlashFire?

Several weeks, maybe a month ago one of the android news sites listed the Samsung timetable for the phones that would get it. It wasn't carrier specific but rather device specific and the S5 is slated for a May release from Sammy according the article I read.

I just completed updating. It is 99% sense 8. The only difference I'm seeing is that the quick setting shade retains the same shade of grey.
Good news: navbar icons are aosp-like now, double tap to quick switch between apps work, multiwindow works and you can change the dpi in settings like in aosp nougat. Also, the default theme closely resembles the htc10's (same wallpaper?).

I reset my M9 to the latest RUU and there is a minor update before Nougat, here's the captured OTA URL: http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_HIMA_UL_M....35.617.21_release_486262q8itc31r2y2o2ht9.zip
Anyone noticed the new firmware found with FF? The version is NXT-L09C432B580, dated 2017.04.19. None of system update or HiCare early adopters shows it.
How can it used to flash the phone?
Thanks.
I tried to download it for my Huawei Mate 8 L29C185 ...
In firmware finder it's showing L29C185B580 but it didn't work for me ... after the full file download ... 2.2 GB it's say this
You can try here!
Have any one got success installing this and how is your experience with it ? stable ? faster performance ? battery life ?

Thanks, I might give this a try. Got a glitch with bluetooth since 321. Every reboot, you have to manually turn on bluetooth, and the
previous 185 version you did not.

Well, no luck there
I downloaded, unzipped, stuck it in the dload folder, rebooted with the up/down volume. It's like it did
with the firmware finder app also, gets to 5% and fails. Sounds like I'll have to wait until the built in
app says it is available...again.
I'll keep the link though, perhaps one day it will work properly.
If it helps, this is the one I downloaded.

Your bootloader is locked, right? I ask it because I wonder if there is an order to install these differents files, and I wonder if it will be easier to install it via TWRP. I looked the content of the small file and I'm not sure what it is.

Maybe we have to install the small file before, it seems to be a patch file. So perhaps we have to install it for the second works.

Could be...Yes, I'm pretty sure the bootloader is locked. There is an option in developer options to allow it to be unlocked, but
it pops up a security warning, so I don't know if it will work or if it will hose something else.
I guess the "official" 580 will hit my phone one of these days soon.

Another user has had the official but same, it didn't work. Is it a true update? I saw on a site there were some false updates..

You can see the difference with Huawei extractor in the screenshots below.
These are the files:
DTS.img
MODEMNVM_UPDATE.img
PRODUCT.img
RECOVERY2.img
SYSTEM.img
VENDOR.img
They are missing in OTA file.
"Huawei made changes in the installation process of the firmware. Now the firmware before installation passes the procedure of online checking. If you receive an "authentication failure" when installing the firmware, then at this time it is not possible to install this firmware on this unit, you need to wait. For the most stubborn:We did not find a way to bypass this test yet.. You need to wait until your imei is listed for this firmware, or make it "available to all"

Seems like the only way we'll be updating our phones from b560 before Huawei pushes OTA, is to roll back and upgrade directly to b580, or flash through custom recovery.

This is what i found in network for B580:
Status: Official (beta)
Version: NRD90M
EMUI: 5.0
"Disclaimer: This update is in beta stage which means that it may carry bugs that can have an impact on the usability of the device. Moreover, since this is a multifile update, you may encounter errors if you try installing this with the stock recovery."

Personally I do not care about that anymore, b560 is still "beta" right and will be forever...

But in middle east version typed official and not beta and may b580 is resolved many bugs.
Hello ShieldTV users,
I have a little problem, I flashed my shield and installed a custom recovery. Now I would like to update to the last version but when the shieldTV try to install the update, the system reboot by itself and nothing else than the Shield 6.3 menu appear.
Should I update with Adb and fastboot ?
Sorry if my questions looks dumb AF I'm a bit newbie about the shieldTV and I don't want to mess and brick it.
Thanks in advance for your help
Edit : I also think about getting LineageOS, what do you guys think about it on shieldTV ?
Yes you would need to flash with fastboot.
But you will lose root and twrp if you have those.

Has anyone managed to get stock Android Oreo rooted??????
I hard bricked my 2017 trying and had to get a replacement.
I've just sent the replacement into a bootloop.
I'm not even installing it, just using " fastboot boot twrp.img"
I had twrp installed and running great before the Oreo update came along.
I think we need a twrp update....... any ideas??????

Yes after the oreo update I had to change to the latest twrp version for the shield of course I never install only fastboot
I did the update with fastboot, everything went well but I was unable to use the dev version so I used the normal instead.
Looks pretty neat, otherwise, what do you guys think about LineageOs on shield ? Can it be used a the main OS ?
I've not tried it fully but I'd say if you wanted normal Android (Not ATV) then that's the way to go.
I have had lots of China boxes with stock Android and to be honest it's a lot "simpler" but not as smooth.
By simpler I basically mean less hard to do the power user tasks that I often find myself doing.
However Android TV looks better and the average user would probably find it easier to find something to watch.
Also you lose all the gaming features.
Basically you end up with a powerful China box (U could have saved money buy just getting a China box)
