[Q] Nokia Black update would not install on WP8.1 Preview - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I am new here. I need some help with my Lumia 920.
I have installed the 8.1 Preview for Developers, and by that momento Nokia Black update wasn´t available on my contry/operator, so it was installed over the Amber update.
Now, Black update is available for my device, but it won´t install. My country is Argentina and operator is Movistar.
Is there a way I can install the black update without flashing my device? since I don`t want to reset my phone.
Thank you very much!
Daniel

The quick answer to that is no, unfortunately. You'd have to flash a Black update ROM for your device then reinstall 8.1. Once it is installed, any firmware targeting a previous version will not install over it.

Thanks,
I think i would skip black update then and go straight to cyan when it is made available.

Did you soft reset?

Why would you modify your phone when you clearly have no idea of what your doing or how to return to stock? Mind boggling to me how many people take these silly risk.

Seriously man. I thoroughly read all guides before going about the rooting.
But this guy just doesn't know even basic stuff mentioned in the first post.
I tried helping him but he is just too ignorant for me to handle.
Don't even get me started on the 'will pay' thing.
I didn't notice it before but man what does this guy think
Before I ever rooted my phone I read all kind of tutorials and even watched all kinds of video's on youtube. +1 to rootjunky.com Then before I would modify anything I would make sure to have all the stock images and my sdk set up if needed to return to stock before changing anything.
I sure as hell didn't tell people that I'll pay them for helping me

So I worked with him and got his phone running stock again. And told him to not even think of paying, instead just that he would promise to not flash anything in the future until he researches how to do it properly

Problem finding OTA updates with my S6 Active .

Why can't my phone find any OTA?It always says "Current Software up to date",but it's not.It had 5.0.2 until last month,when i flashed G890AUCU3BOJE with Odin.OTA update seems to be impossible with this phone.Now i see that there's another update and the phone still says it's up to date.Is there any solution for this?
You're using an AT&T phone in Romania, correct? If so, you're not on the AT&T network and will have to use ODIN to update your firmware. There are guides on the web for using ODIN. Once you have the latest released AT&T firmware, you can sideload the newest unreleased Marshmallow image as discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3372114. Good luck!

I recommend downloading Samsung SmartSwitch (http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/assets/downloads/Smart Switch PC_setup.exe) to your PC. Then back up your phone prior to sideloading the updates. Then your final step would be to restore your backup using SmartSwitch. If you use an alternate launcher like Nova or Apex, you can back up and restore your launcher layout, too.

I understand the fact that the phone can't connect to the AT&T server from Romania,but why can't it find any update via Smart Switch?Smart Switch has nothing to do with the AT&T server.

IF you can detect updates through erecovery then it is fine but if it doesnt show any file.
then you have to use 3 button update method to roll back to previous version rom.

Got a XZ1c but I have a bit of a problem

I've recently purchased an XZ1c since my old z3c was basically falling apart at this point. (Would have kept it if the repair guy didn't royally screw things up.)
The phone is practically untouched physically and has been great for the past two weeks... It was when I tried taking pictures that I've noticed my first problem.
Green pictures had to reboot to see if the bootloader was unlocked and to my chagrin, the previous owner never told me they had unlocked the phone in the first place and didn't even know about DRM keys so those are lost.
I've rooted my old z3c before a long time ago and it was painless. Now with this phone, I'm having a bit of a problem and I'm hesitant to even try rooting it since I haven't rooted a phone since and I would prefer getting advices.
I am aware of the guide on rooting the phone and would have no problems following it if it wasn't for the fact that my phone's build was currently 47.1.A.12.270 and the guides use the .16.20 update but can't find the files to update to the September build. Model G8441
Since the phone is unlocked, I can't update through the normal means in order to get to that update or get 9.0 for that matter in order to do the root. Is there a guide on updating the phone to those before using the guide to root it? I haven't done this in a long time and don't remember anything. Thanks in advance!

Every time to you boot or reboot it should tell you it's been unlocked. I'd have sent it back as soon as I booted it up.

As you don't need to worry about your TA partition use the Flashtool or Newflasher to upgrade to Pie, flash TWRP, install Magisk, done.

I don't need to worry about going to .16.20 before upgrading to pie, just go directly?
If so, it's a lot easier than I thought. With my z3c I had to upgrade to a specific build prior rooting.
Just to make sure, the phone comes from the US so I should get the Customized US version for 47.2.A.11.228?
