[Q] NoDo on Wind

Just a question for those HD7 owners on Wind have you unbranded your phones before the update to nodo and does it affect the radio setting on the phone. I am getting tired of waiting for the T-Mobile roll out and based on what I see from the MS timeline I do not want the phone to be TMo branded when they join AT&T (none of the AT&T phones have left stage 1). Any instructions on updating would be appriciated. I have everything except for the ROM image is their one that you would suggest?

[Q] Branded T-Mobile UK Samsung GLXY S 2

Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy s 2 on T-mobile here in the UK. Obvisously it came with T-mobile's version of Android 2.3.3 . When the phone starts up or shuts down, it displays T-mobile's logo wallpaper.
The phones has an option to search for updates, but it can never connect to the server.
It does not have the option to sign into the Samsung account, it does not exist on my handset, only Google account and the usual facebook and others options.
As a result of this I don't have the option to use Samsung's mobile tracker. For those unsure google samsungdive.
I don't need to use other networks on my handset, just T-mobile. T-mobile have removed the tracking option so this is why I want to put Samsung's software on my phone.
My question or what I want to do is this:
1)Remove the current T-mobile Android software from my phone and install Samsung's Android firmware.
2)Have the option of signing into Samsung's account from my phone and be able to use Samsung's tracker.
3)Be able to update to the latest updates as and when available.
Please advise me as to what I have to do or what my best options are.
Thanks very much!

I would flash the stock version of JVR and use a custom kernel like semaphore etc

My friend can you tell which modem u r using on t mobile. Or baseband

Baseband version:
I9100BOKG1
I Spoke to Samsung about this and they said because I got the phone through my contract with T-Mobile, T-Mobile have played around with the software and some features are not present compared with buying the phone sim free with the Original Samsung software.
They said if I remove current software and put Generic Samsung software I will void warranty on the phone.
What do you think about this?
Thanks

I'd flash anyway mate, worse case scenario is if you get a fault, you can reset to factory using ODIN. Plus, I have a t-mobile s1 and it was flashed day of purchase from t-mobile, and even if you ring them, they aint really too bothered if its been flashed. Example, I flashed my brothers which played up, he rang t-mobile told them it was flashed they said well done, and would replace it if I couldnt sort it.....which I did.
In a nutshell....flash and dont look back!! Its really quite hard to'kill' an android phone!!

QD9 update

Anyone try to update their S8 to the day one update of QD9? I bought the Verizon version but using it on Tmobile through MintSim so my only option to update it is through the VZW Software Upgrade Assistance pos software. It sees and downloads the update fine. However, when it reboots the phone to the "Downloading...." screen, after a while I get a "Odin Protocol version error!" I rebooted the phone and tried again but to no avail.
*Edit* So, I just had to update the VZW software to the newest version and then that fixed it. The update went through fine. Lol

I've had my Verizon S8 since Friday and accepted the QD9 update later that evening. The only change I can tell is that the ability to legitimately remap the Bixby button has been removed. Sorry brother if that was your plan.

do you retry bxaction

For future updates you may want to use Samsung Smart Switch instead than VZW software. I have the s8 verizon version with a different company and wasnt able to update until i tried with this Samsung software and I find it easier and probably better than the VZW app.

The updated VZW software is nicer and worked fine. I'll look into the Samsung software next time.

does software update work after flashing?

I've flashed previously version 6 and stopped receiving updates after that. Now I purposely picked a broadband version that at&t supports and flashed my phone, but now I'm still now seeing software updates. I'm on stock 7, there should be 4 updates lined up.
Edit: Actually it was G920AUCS5DPJ1 and that's on the update list. So weird, it's been months and I never got any updates after G920AUCS5DPJ1 (6.0.1).
Update: You need an ACTIVE at&t sim card, either a plan or prepaid.

EE blocking updates on 7 Plus?

Just swap over my Sim from EE to O2 after reading something on reddit, then checked for updates and by magic there it is May Security Update 2.22A
I originally side-loaded 8.1 few days ago but was still on the April security with no update.
Now i have a feeling EE got some agreement in place with Nokia & other Android vendors over updates if using an EE sim you basically wait like the contract phones for updates, if this being the case then it goodbye EE and move back to Three.
What your thoughts on this?

I have the same problem with EE. But I am still on 8.0 and Feb security patch. BTW how did you update to 8.1, I tried via VPN as suggested by Nokia support but it didn't work.

Head here reg your phone and download the downgrade from Android P which is 8.1.
https://www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/developer
Now easiest way to install it without using ADB is to put it on the phone storage & install from SD in the recovery menu, you might get some error's after it's installed but don't worry about these 8.1 will be fully and error free on your phone, then you need another sim other than EE then you receive the May update or you could try another sim first and see if the 8.1 with may patch shows up.
Edit
also forgot to mention on 8.1 you can enable wifi calling on EE something you cant do on 8.0.

I can confirm also. After swapping Sim, I've got v2.22A

I installed the 8.1 ROM (via ADB) on my TA-1055 last week. Just swapped out my EE SIM for a Three SIM and the May security update was available. I then switched back to the EE SIM and it disappeared. Switched back to Three again and have now upgraded successfully.
Edit: I just realised that EE are now selling the Nokia 7 Plus, so I guess they're blocking / delaying updates until they've completed their own testing.

I'm on ID (Carphone Warehouse's network) and they too are blocking the update.

Could this be the reason for delay?
Do they have to add something to the firmware to enable it?
I am on Three in Ireland and I do not have any option in settings for WIFI calling.

I'm on Plusnet Mobile which piggy backs on EE and have seen no updates since I purchased my phone on release day......
Took my SIM out yesterday, replaced with on old O2 one and rebooted - hey presto 3 updates downloaded over wifi and installed. Everything now working with my Plusnet SIM on 8.1 June security

I'm BT sim and no update. I removed sim, factory reset and got 2 updates via wifi with May security. Put in BT sim and a few days later got the June security upate.

Don't understand that as the carrier should have no influence on updates on this phone as they come direct from Google because this is an Android One phone. I can understand if the phone is from EE (I.e. on contract) as I have an LG G6 contract phone which has had no updates from Nougat and only 1 security update in Jan .
