Hi all,
it has been now nearly two weeks since the rom update leaked, and still so sign of an official update on htc website.
I'm wondering if this was really the final rom version, if so i don't know why htc would wait another two weeks after the leak.
I heard that somebody got that rom from an ftp server which is used by htc to upload data before it gets released. In this case two weeks seems also way too long for a deployment.
Are there any signs of the official release? I'm curious to see whether there are any last minute changes done.
well it could do with both orange and tmobile (in the uk) need to add there custom rubbish to there phones?
I read about major improvements in speed.
BUT - I also read about weather DB issues, WiFi issues, a.o problems.
So, I am definitely going to stay put, until an official release.
I am not going to waste time on reinstalling software etc, by flashing something "maybe-this-is-a-rom-very-close-to-the-final-one"!
yeah of course the carrier updates will take more time, but im talking about the htc update for unbranded devices.
since i made the ruu update i can confirm speed updates (but not huge difference), and i can confirm that more often the browser seems to have issues when going online via wlan. connection is there, signal is there, but the browser cant open pages.
and my device actually freezed two times, i couldnt make softreset and had to take the battery out. annoying.
but overall im satisfied with the performance optimization, still i will make another update as soon as the official rom is out..
and another minor thing: updating weather information manually will result in three updates. the app will update the weather data three times in a row, even though you only pressed update once,
I've had none of those problems, just checked the weather and it seems to update just once. I did have to pull the battery a couple of times BEFORE installing this new ROM when my phone totally locked though.
two weeks?? that's wrong.
The user who uploaded it, __htc__, leaked 2.73 on the 3rd of September....5 days ago.
they release to the ftp, this allows the repair centres, factory and call centres to get it, and then they release it on the website.
yes it is the final version.
if you want it, download it now, or dont. it's up to you, but yes this is the final release and it will be up soon.
rom t-mobile
@rhedgehog hi mate this might be silly but will this update work on locked t-mobile or willi have to root said device?
ps dont slap me to hard if its been asked before lol

yeah two weeks was maybe too much. I was hoping this is not final since i have some new issues since i made the ruu update:
- peep widget updates only every 30th try. I'm trying to update the tweets and it doesn't work for about 20 times, and then somehow it works after many more tries. When i open peep app i get an error message that the service is not reachable.
- wifi has problems. many times it seems the connection is dead, when technically everything is ok.
- freezes (but i installed about 40 apps, maybe this was too much...)
- keyboard has sometimes lags. i never had ANY lags inputting text before the update.
- more force closes by 3rd party apps.
- touchflo force closes seem to occur more often also (but i had them before too so this might be the same).
- freezes when the device is in sleep mode. I was at a meeting, not doin anything with the device. Then i wanted to check the time and the display didn't power on. So the device freezed during some background process by android or any 3rd party app. I never had this problem before the update.
the good:
- yes its faster (homescreens)
- even the contacts list has LESS stutter, but stutter is still there. IPHONE 3gs is way ahead in this regard. i don't know why other lists on android are completely fluid while the contacts app list is not fluid.
- battery seems to last longer
overall the first impression was VERY good, but is somehow stained by the problems that surface after some usage time...i'm not 100% sure if the speed update was worth it...waiting for android 1.6 update, maybe this sorts some stuff out..
I'm using Modacos 2.0 rom, and I've not encountered a single one of the issues you are reporting here.
Did you wipe before installing the RUU version? If not, I suggest you give it a try. Alternatively, wipe and install Modaco.

Dave

the RUU update won't work on a branded device. You need root to install the new rom in this case.

hmm i didn't do a wipe. How can you wipe the unrooted phone manually? i thought the RUU update will wipe the phone. It explicitly says so when updating the device that all data is lost. to me this means: your phone will be wiped...

Well, Menu->Security->Factory Data Reset should do the job. To be honest though, I'd be more inclined to trust the "standard" Android way of updating your ROM than the HTC RUU process, because, as far as I'm aware, this'll be their first RUU for an Android device.
Regards,
Dave
Interestingly, the second poster here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557628 , indicates that they had a problem with the factory data reset, but a recovery image wipe fixed it. I wonder if this related to your issues?
Even if you don't want to flash the modified recovery image permanently to your phone, you could boot it using fast boot and then wipe.
Regards,
Dave
how does it work? how can i restore a revocery image? isn't this an issue with the latest RUU update, that flashing recovery rom is not possible anymore or am i mixing things up here?
Steps 1 to 5 in this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4257045 , tell you what you need to do to boot the modified recovery image. Note that this doesn't flash anything to your phone - it just boots off the image you've supplied. You can permanently flash the recovery image later if you wish, but since you took the RUU root, I guess you don't want to put anything "unofficial" on your phone.
I've no idea if you having RUU'd already will prevent this, and I'm not going to RUU my phone to find out, but I doubt you would be stopped booting using fastboot.
Regards,
Dave
okay, thanks for the info!
Modaco wrote on a thread that doing the RUU update will make it nearly impossible to flash a modified recovery image.
I'm going to work with my current setup for some more days. If i see the mentioned problem reoccuring more often, i will proceed with the steps in your post.
or maybe we will see some changes (if not to the rom itself maybe at least the RUU will get an update) with the official rom update.
bye
shahpur
Just searched and you are right, you can't boot the recovery image if you have the new HBOOT from the RUU. However, the situation is not irreversible!

sorry, was busy working, but it seems you;ve got the answers...
i;ve not had any problems that you have had either with those apps. mine is so much better it's ridiculous. but then i wiped first and again afterwards just to make sure.

Hey guys, I've used the temp-cwm rooting method and apart from freezing some bloatware apps, I haven't touched anything else in the system folder neither I have installed xpozed
If I unfreeze the said apps, unroot via the supersu app and then do the OTA, I won't get any bootloops, right?

Renaming the file to "UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.139-user.zip" helped, it showed me the update in the system without need to go into recovery
Can anyone hook me up with the zip? I applied the update, re-rooted, and put flashed xposed again, and I got into a boot loop
Confirmed xposed bootloop issue?
Hi, I'm fairly new to XDA so please forgive me for my newbieness.
I recently purchased the Axon 7 but I got a lot of problems with it to which I can't find solutions here or elsewhere on the internet:
- I can't update my device, I have now A2017GV1.0.0B06 but whenever I try to update, it fails
- I can't open photos/videos in Whatsapp (crash), can't send photos/videos in Facebook messenger (just won't do it without explanation). I checked the permisions which all seem to be fine
- I got random app crashes all the time, sometimes it even uninstalls them.
- The device itself reboots every so often randomly, once or twice a day
For the most part the device works okay, but these problems just drive me insane sometimes.
Would it be a software related error, which I can maybe solve by whiping it clean all again (I had problems since the start so I doubt this would work), or by maybe rooting it?
I must say that I bought the device second hand, but it barely had been used before (everything without any scratches and fairly new in the box). So maybe that's the reason?
Many thanks,
~Pr0fviktorie
I would do a factory wrote and that the system firmware. That should solve the issues as it definitely sounds software related.

May very well be why it was sold lol.
Regarding updating firmware, the official advice is to update to B10 MM before diving straight to Nougat.
I assume the update zip file is at least detected by system updater?

I had the random reboot stuff too. Tried reflashing but what really fixed it was going to a custom ROM for a couple of months then flashing the stock recovery and installing the update from there
But if you don't wanna go the warranty voiding route do this:
Download Marshmallow B11 (I think it's 1.0.0B11)
Download Nougat B02 (I think it's 1.2.0B02 or 1.1.0B02, don't remember)
Update to Marshmallow B11
Now try updating to Nougat B02

Probably. I'm just reading off the Aus firmware instructions page! Only making sure they aren't trying to jump directly to Nougat from B06 MM.

Yeah I guess it fails because he's trying to update from B06. I'll delete the recovery part on my post just to be sure
Thanks for the suggestions, I suppose I have to do it manually?
The OTA update I am getting is MM B11, but that doesn't work. When installing it fails at around 40% and when I check why, it says that 'The system update package did not match the phone'. Would it work if I try it manually?

Im having a problem with my phone and some apps auto refreshing web pages will auto refresh taking me back to the top, instagram will auto refresh doing the same thing, youtube will reload and restart the video or completely start a different video. I have done a factory restart, started the phone in safe mode and tried using youtube and i still have the problem.
to me this seems to be a software issue but i cant be certin and doing an internet search isn't showing much results.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Android 7.0

I've had this problem since I installed the August android security update, I think it's related to that. Downgrading the software would probably fix it, if it's possible.

Yesterday (Aug 25, 2017) I did an update to QH1 through the Verizon Upgrade Assistant and it did not correct the problem.
Additionally I'm kind of a bit nervous about downgrading since i have no idea what I'm doing and I'd like to avoid bricking my phone due to my ignorance.
So i guess unless Verizon and/or Samsung decide to do anything about it, I'm in limbo i guess... :crying:
Glad I'm not the only one with this issue, at least it kind of clears up that its not a hardware issue.
I downgraded to the first nougat update (QA4) and everything seems to be working as it should, although I had to wipe my data to make it work :/
can you give me or direct me to instructions for the novice on how to do this?
Is anyone else having this issue? know how to fix it? if you know how to fix the issue can you provide instructions on how you fixed the issue?
From what I have seen and done I'm running u firmware. It seems as if you can downgrade to the oldest nougat firmware only. No Further.
Can I use this firmware from asus website to update my phone? It says only for IN/RU SKU but it starts with WW the same with my device.
I live in Philippines and I still don't receive Pie update
Yes u can flash it
i'm enabling adoptable storage and everytime i tried to manually update it ended up error to update. is it really has anything to do or conflict with adoptable storage?
I've downloaded the file from Asus website and uploaded it to root directory on the phone - just in the moment when it was finished uploading, I got message if I want to install the update - smooth and easy.
sure, you can
Pie update has a lot of bugs. I kinda regret doing the manual update.
What bugs did you face ? I am on pie and haven't faced anything significant.
Although the touchscreen does sometime seem to just not work for very short periods.... They apprently patched them in previous updates... (On a side note guys, are the updates cumilative? What if i miss an update inbetween, will the fixes be applied?)
EDIT: Wiping Cache Partition seems to have mitigated the touch issue. Will update if re-occurs!
