I have windows phone 8 developer account.
i have installed preview for developer app from store.
after configuring app...i went to setting > phone update > check for update.
And i got notification a new update is ready for dowload.
i did not updated...because my data plan is costly...and before download i want to know...what is this update?
is it windows phone 8.1?
* I am using lumia 520 with Lumia black update.
As its latest current update.
So pls some one tell me...what is this new update, i am getting notification for that?
It's one of the many minor updates that get released through the developer preview, not 8.1 yet... It shows you the version of the update, so I think it's logical that if it says 8.0.105xx.xx that it's not 8.1.
You can update over wifi, infact, that's recommended, rather than the mobile network.
There's a confirmation to install the update after downloading it anyhow. Basically, if you see a notification that there's an update you can download, but it doesn't tell you what the update *is*, you can safely approve the download (though you may want to be on WiFi, if you have capped cellular data). Once you have downloaded the update, you'll get another notification telling you what the update is (what gets updated, and to what version) and will have the option to install that update or postpone it. If you choose postpone, it will periodically remind you every day or so.

First of all, you didn't specify what's your current version. So i guess its either GDR2 or GDR3.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Second of all let me tell you about WP8 updates:
GDR2 = Update 2
OS version: 8.0.10327.77 or 8.0.10328.78**
GDR3 = Update 3
OS version: 8.0.10501.127, 8.0.10512.142, 8.0.10517.150, or 8.0.10521.155*
(Source: Windows Phone 8 update history)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What you got is a GDR3 update, and if you already had the GDR3, thats probably a minor update fixing some targeted issues, so, my suggestion is: Go for it, update it, its safe.
P.S. It will not void your warranty, it's an official OTA update. Unlocking and Rooting will void your warranty.
Oops! Sorry for not mentioning that. Yes I have GDR3 installed and I am using lumia 520
Thanks!

Greetings.
Very recently, there was an official/OTA update for P7-L10. And I subsequently downloaded and tried to update it as soon as it finishes downloading.
But, when it tried to update, it keeps failing. Is the update wrong? or is there something missing that I am not clearly seeing it?
My current version, out of the box - P7-L10V100R001C00B133SP01
and the update (online update) is (as mentioned) : P7-L10_SouthPacific_C00B620.
Please advise me on what might have went wrong?
Thank you.

Do you have TWRP or CWM installed? Was your phone brand new or pre-owned? Do you have custom rom or stock rom?

Nope, I do not have those installed. This is a brand new phone running stock rom.
Ok, I guess your phone is not branded (vodafone, orange, etc.), so get the b609 update and install it.
If you had firmware 133, how come you got SAE update? Where did you buy your phone?

Yep, it's not. Hmm. I am unsure as to how or where I can get the B609 update, because ever since I first laid my hands on this phone, it has been running B133 out of the box. And, since, in between then and now, I have been going to the system update to look for any update prior to this one that I am currently having a problem to update, and there was no new update (until, again, now )
Also, previously I did went online on my PC to find an update B609, and downloaded it and tried to do a local update. and unfortunately for me, it caused my phone to be soft-bricked, and back then, I have not turned on my USB debugging or did any major changes to my phone, thus, requiring me to send my phone to the service centre. So, I'm kinda weary about downloading an update online from my PC, as of now.
Well, I am not sure what SAE is, and to answer that question, again, I do not know how I may have gotten the update. I bought my phone from where I am currently living, Malaysia.
Can you make a print screen of your SAE update problem?
sorry, but um, can you please enlighten me as to what is SAE? I am truly sorry for not knowing this.

Hey there, I couldn't really printscreen it, as it was in the updating process (the one with the Android bot and the black screen behind) anyway, it just it failed. That's all.
Here's however, a printscreen of the update.

So OTA fails., what's the code of error (why it fails)?
Also, you can try manual update or the "3 button update" (it is described in the forum).
But the most important thing is to know why it fails.
P.S. You can take print screens from the Hisuite during update or when it fails

Hi piring, I've encounter the same issue with updating from B133SP01 to B620, my set is a"SOUTH PACIFIC" model.
I even brough my set to the huawei service centre to see if the technician over there can solve the issue but unfortunately, they are just as clueless as I am..... They did a factory reset of my set and tried to install the update again but the update still fail to install. There is no error code but only "fail" word appearing. They claim it's because my set was rooted but when I have unroot my phone, it still.can't update.
So if you managed to successfully updated your set, can you share with me how to go about it? Thanks.

Oh. well, to be honest, I kinda given up hopes on how to update it. And with that, I am still clueless as to how to update it. I have tried using HiSuite, but to my surprise, HiSuite mentioned that my phone is already up to date. So, I am honestly puzzled as to how my phone is pushing for an OTA, but HiSuite insists that my phone model is of current and latest update.
Sorry I am unable to help you.

Hi piring, same thing goes for my HiSuite as well. It's kinda of sucks that the update is available but can't update. It's even more worse that Huawei service centre cannot do anything about it and just tell me forget about the update and ignore the notification. Now i have a phone with a permanent notification mark that i cannot get rid of.
P7-L10 is a good phone but the support i'm getting from Huawei service centre is really unprofessional and disappointing.
But anyway, thanks for your reply.
I received the update and didn't check whats new. Anyone has the change log? Anything new?

Excuse my ignorance sonhow do you activate trusted face. I have already set up "my face"
They've also removed the functionality in which you can navigate using the fingerprint sensor ?
After the may 2018 update I noticed some 4G connectivity issues: no more internet. By moments, the phone would switch to 3G and then internet would work.
I thought I did something bad, so I reset APNs, etc. no luck. I even completely wiped the phone, but that did not change anything.
Then I saw this thread on Nokia forum:
https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000025066
For now, by forcing 3G, I can get internet all the time, but I hope this fix will be temporary.

ah sorry for a super late reply.. if u have already set up trusted face then it's already been activated.. just lock the screen and turn on using the power button.. there will be a small face icon at the bottom middle of the screen .. when it recognized ur face it will show a unlocked lock(open lock) icon.. then just swipe up the screen...

Much easier with the roll back firmware and sideload using ADB or straight from recovery.
Done the ADB and got 8.1 April version (no wipe and everything seem to work fine).
After that got OTA update to May security patch.
More here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76546067&postcount=56
It may be working without enrollment to developer preview. Someone uploaded the zip.

What's your location?
I was also stuck on 8.0, till I decided to go with manual method and update to 8.1 (I am in Ireland). I installed the 8.1 image with local method, no ADB needed. After that the updates were pulled without a problem.
If you want to follow the same procedure please find the topic "How to convert a Nokia 7+ from China Variant to Global" from the main Nokia 7 page and download "B2N-213B" which is 8.1. Ignore "B2N-3050", that is P preview which is very unstable. Place the file in the main directory of phone and dial the code provided in that thread. If you have the global variant there is no need to rename the file. To find the variant go to settings>about phone>build number. 00WW is the global while 00CN is the Chinese. (Thanks to hikari_calyx for making this possible).
It is likely that Nokia pulled the 8.1 updates off because of the stability issues on 8.1. The only issue I experienced after update was the NFC force close once. I enabled "show all force close in the background" from developer options, without that I wouldn't be notified, and after that I used NFC successfully, though the phone only recognizes my card near the camera! That is a terrible range for NFC, may cause serious issue for Android pay as payment devices have all sort of indentations on them. Anyone else had this issue?

Main directory is the same directory you open first when you connect your device for file transfer, that contains "alarms , android, data" directories. I put the file there without renaming it, and dialed the code. There are posts on the same thread that cover file not found issue, check them out. In any case if it doesn't find the file the only option is ADB sideload.

If it's the U1 3AUDD update you can't downgrade. The bootloader revision has been bumped to 3 and there is no going back to bl 2.

I'm pretty sure you can't downgrade because the bootloader is a different version than the previous version. The number that is shown 5 characters from the right on your Build Number identifies the bootloader version. The May update took me to bootloader version 3. Prior to the upgrade, I was on bootloader version 2. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you can downgrade once you've updated to a different bootloader.

Are you in the US?
I haven't tried to tether with this phone.
So, you're saying that if I tether, it will check with T-Mo or whatever my carrier is to see what I'm eligible for?
I guess that was 1 benefit about the Pixels. No checking, just tethering!
Very happy with May update

Download Activity Launcher from the play store -> go to the search on the top right -> type in "tether" -> it should search for "Mobile Hotspot and Tethering (there should be 3 that pop up) -> choose the 2nd one -> click on "WiFi Hotspot" -> click On.
I don't take credit for this as I found this on reddit. It worked for me and a few others. Good luck!
