Hey guys, didnt see this question anywhere, so here goes.
I have an unlocked t-mobile g1 running on Rogers network in canada, Ive been getting a notice to please update to android 1.6 directly on my phone, is it in any way harmful if i do, could it lock my phone again or is it A OK to proceed.
Thanks alot for the help, You guys are great.
When you get a message like that, its simply a message saying that the current version of Android is outdated (Android I'm sure you know is the phones main system) so think of it as your computer popping up saying that there are updates available. This will not lock your phone, I have an unlocked G1 running on AT&T's network. Once the phone is sim unlocked, you can't re-lock it.
Its perfectly fine to do the update how ever if you want to go out and have some fun with your phone, I recommend checking out some of the roms and recovery images here, great Devs in this forum.
Well I hope this answered your question
Hey, thanks alot, exactly what I was hoping to hear.
Thanks man
Yeah no problem man
Hey guys/gals
I am seriously considering looking into putting ICS on my Note by using these forums and guides etc (I am a complete knowledgeless noob when it comes to this root/flash etc etc stuff), but I would like to know the following if someone would be kind enough to answer -
1- If I tamper with my device, and if said device ever has to go back to the network operator for repairs etc, how can I wipe everything and revert back to factory settings? is it as simple as hitting factory settings? I would not want them to refuse to service/repair/replace the device if I messed around with it. So is this reversible?
2- what is the best and most simplest way to put ICS on my n7000 if I chose to go down this route and not wait for my UK network operator (Orange) to release their own one? (maybe someone can link me to a good option?)
3- If the part 2 is done, should I get rid of it and use the operator version once they release? or stick with the one I am contemplating installing.
Sorry to be such a pain in the proverbial, would appreciate the help
Kind regards

I will try to answer in a short manner.
1. You can allways flash a stock GB or ICS no matter what you might have done to it. Atleast aslong as it is functioning properly.
2. In my opinion the best and simplest way is to flash a stock ICS through PC Oding. Here is a good guide and plenty of Stock Roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
3. I wouldnt get a operator version since they are usually even more bloated than samsungs stock version. And I dont see any benefits with a operator branded version.
Regards
Thank you Belfia,
I will consider this a little more, and it seems that I need to purchase a Micro SD to do all this? so that is next on my to-do list

Barry
I'm running a P7 with the firmware it shipped with and I'd really like to get it up to date, but every package I've tried so far has failed during package verification. There seems to be very little info on how to update your phone from such an old build. Can anyone please help because I'm at my wit's end here. I have a limited date cap so can't just keep downloading updates in the hopes that one of them will work.
I would be greatly indebted to anyone who could help me. This issue is making me want to cry.
Do you have a phone with a provider/network lock? Which roms did you try so far? You may give B133 a shot, if that doesn't work you'd have to go the way over a custom rom and then getting back to the stock one. I can describe the process more detailed in case it's necessary.
Thanks for the response!
I think the issue is that it is a network locked ROM. I got the phone from a provider called Vodacom and get their splash screen and everything. I went to speak to them and they told me I'm not supposed to be able to update my firmware because that requires rooting the phone, which voids my warranty. Sales people being sales people, I'm not sure how truthful this is. I can't imagine a provider refusing to let you update your phone.
So far I've tried B133, B609, B617 and B853, none of which works, sadly. Someone suggested I unlock the bootloader and I got the unlock code through the Huawei site, but when I try to boot using the three-button method it tells me that no update.app file was found, so I'm not sure how to get to where I enter the unlock code.
Hm, you might search around a bit and find an easier way, but if not, unlock the bootloader, flash twrp and any emui 2.3 based custom rom. Then flash the stock recovery and make a forced update (3 buttons) with B133.
To access the bootloader you have to press volume- and power until a white screen with some text appears.
Anyway, to update would definitely be worth it.
Yeah, I did precisely that last night and ended up soft-bricking my phone. It wouldn't even work when I flashed the original firmware. It's currently in at a repair shop and I hope they can fix it. Lesson learned though.
Thanks for the help anyway.
It's not that easy to hardbrick the P7, it's very likely that he will be able to fix it! With some time for trying, you probably would have been able to do it by yourself, too.
Your very welcome
Yeah, the thing is I was up all night trying to fix it. Flashing it back the original software should theoretically have done it, so I have no idea why it didn't.
PLEASE!!! HELP!!!
My Note 8 will not update I want the new UI update but everytime I try to update my phone it goes to 32% and errors ...I checked my info and realized my baseband version and my build number are different.
Do I need to flash a version of stock rom using Odin? Or is there an easier fix ....I have searched for this question ALOT over the web and I really would like to get it fix so it will stop trying to update EVERYTIME I connect to the internet.... AT&T couldn't even help me with this so please! Someone tell me what I need to do to fix this and update my phone

You didn't mention which note 8 model you have?
(assuming from where you said AT&T).
Read the first post carefully!

Sorry I have a N950U ....either way I'd still just like to find a way to set the updating thing right to stop it from updating just to keep failing

Sorry I just want to get my phone to stop trying to update my note 8 is a N950U
My baseband version and my build number are different...is there anyway to fix this or at least make it stop trying to do a failed update?
I have read through many posts here in the forum, where I got some tips that I have tried, but nothing that totally applied to my problem, only parts of it. I have upgraded my phone with every firmware of the Open_EU since January 2020 without any problem using LGUP. Last time I upgraded to Android 10 in August, it was also successful but then check nt-code: 222201: ff started to appear everytime I turned on the phone. It's annoying, but not a big problem since the phone works perfect. However I tried to upgrade to Android 10 v405ebw30c recently, and now LGUP can't make the upgrade, it says can't cross-DL, with a strange message judypn_lao_eea ->judypn_lao_com. Could the NT-code be the cause of this? I also tried to enter the hidden menu, *#546368#*405# and I can see the nt code, but I can't change it. Nothing happens. Will I have to root my phone to make this work? or are there other options?
Some history, this phone doesn't officially exist in Sweden, where I live. However, it's possible to buy it anyway. It was sold as brand new and unlocked. The first week I discovered that I couldn't make the officially update . Then I found out it's originally italian (TIM), and probably someone that unlocked afterwards. But maybe not properly made since it was problem to make upgrades with LG Bridge. And when I succefully managed to make the upgrade with LGUP I decided to keep the phone anyway, because I liked it too much. But since this NT code started to appear after the Android 10 upgrade, I wondered if maybe there's some "leftovers" from TIM italy. So is rooting the only option for me? Except for the upgrade problems it works perfect every day.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have read many instructions even on this page how to edit, cust_path_mapping.cfg, and that it's surely easy once the phone is rooted. But that's why I first wanted to see the possibilities to do this without that I have to root the phone.

So, u have 2 problems right? u want to upgrade to v405ebw30c, but can't, and you also have the nt-code error right?
First, no, they aren't related. I think that's highly unlikely. That's not something lgup checks for. I'd bet you're using the 1.14 version dll and should be using the 1.16 dll and should be doing a refurbish.
As far as the nt-code error. It's a pain, lots and lots of info about fixing it, most of them need root. But here's what worked for me, no root needed: I switched from att pie to Korean open Q (first time had the nt-error and no editing anything would fix it), so went back to att and then did the korean 409N again, first with partition DL. Let that finish, it has to reboot the phone completely to finish. Then, don't change the phone in anyway, just shut it off. Back to LGUP and do a Refurbish with the same kdz.
No more nt-error code. It *seems* that nt-error code info gets propagated to various partitions as a part of refurbish. I verified that the ftm partition, where that information lives, was completely spaces (blank) after the refurbish... it's odd, I know. But for whatever reason, I no longer have the nt-error code problem.
cheers

Thank you for your reply. No I don't know if they're related either, it was just a guess since the problems started at the same time. Well, I always had a kind of "problem" since I never have been able to upgrade from LG Bridge. And that I guess is from the NT-code. But the sign in the start appeared after the Android 10 upgrade. However, I'm using LGUP 1.16.0.3 and I have used it everytime, with DLL version 1.9.39.7.
And actually it wouldn't bother me too much having this sign in the start anyway, I only restart the phone like once per week. But of course it bothers me that I can't make the upgrade like before. And I can also mention that I have never tried to refurbish with LGUP, only upgrades, because I have some bank apps etc. that are a bit complicated to reinstall. Of course it's possible, but I have to be mentally prepared for it. So I'll only do that when I know there's no other option. And the phone work good today, so I'm not in a rush, but in a couple of months I should be doing an upgrade of course.
And thanks for telling me the other option too, I will surely try it one day but since it also requires refurbish I will try after I fail to make the normal refurbish.
I don't have any experience of rooting, if I root my phone, will I keep all the data or is it comparable to refurbish? Are the any other risks rooting the phone? I'll lose the warranty, but I don't really have the warranty anyway since it's not an official product in my country.

No, to root, you loose all data and have to start again. Part of rooting is to flash dm-verity which turns off encryption. But, that allows you to do a backup of the data partition once you've reinstalled everything. The positive side there is that in the future, you could back up that partition (data), make any other changes, then flash data back, and your apps would be back as they were.
Other risks? Well, maybe, if the phone was stolen I guess, it would be easier for someone to steal your data. Your situation, with serious banking apps, it **may be** you don't want that risk...
Maybe for just trying a refurb to lose nt-code, look at LG's 'restore' from previous device ability, use it to save off the apps somewhere, then restore after refurb? no root needed.
cheers
