with a t-mobile note 4 you will be asked to update.. it won't do it on it's own... you have to give the permission...

No need to stop it... When the update comes out to your phone ... You will be asked to update or not.. Just hit don't update and your good.

Hope she hits the right one

I was getting pestered to take the update constantly so I finally installed Debloater to stop it.
Here is a link to what I did:

It was extremely easy and it stopped the update prompts perfectly.
Good luck

Who has received the HD7 8107 update?

I have T-Mobile USA and have not received it. T-Mobile USA says 7720 is the latest for the HD7, yet some folks say they have it. Do you have it, and did you force it?

...not even the two guys who claimed to have it haven't posted yet....?
Got it. Forced it. Followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
Got tired of waiting. It was easy and the phone works fine.
Also forced mine, but can't find the article. I'm not unlocked.

Ok, all you need to do is read the rest of the article, especially update two where it states if your phone and setting no longer work to flash the language pack in the same way.

It should have backed up everything (or you should have) did it or you not?

I think it does an auto back up. it's the first step that takes so much time. Not sure how to back it up from there.
got my hd7 updated 2 weeks back... no issues with it, bootloader changed to 5.12..2250.0(135240)

That is because you are not able to force the Firmware update that is pushed with this - it is the firmware update that fixes the MAC address issue. Surprising that T-Mobile US are not pushing the update for just this reason, pretty sure it is against regulations to have the MAC address changing!
I received a replacement HD7 and the tmobile rep swears the latest software is on it, I will post back shortly.....

I suspect it will be latest available on T-Mobile network, ie 7720!
Just got 8701 without forcing but got a zune notification instead. Bootloader upped too. Surprised.
Unlocked TMO HD7.
TMOUS updating the HD7 today finally. Got a total of 3 updates. 7740, then 8107, followed by an update from HTC. Not sure what the HTC update did. Anyone have any ideas?
Its the firmware fix that fixes the MAC address changing on reboot...

DT ignite

Anybody notice some unknown app called DT Ignite on their phone. It feels like T-Mobile is trying to push crap on our phone without our permission.

It's an app that carriers use to push more crappy apps to your phone.
If you're rooted, remove it.
You should also email TMOBILE folks and express your displeasure at this crap.
Not currently rooted but if I disable it would it pop back up or am I just better off rooting right now
I looked thru titanium backup, I didn't find anything called dtignite
Comes with latest update.

T-Mobile Samsung pay update 09/25/15

Title is self explanatory of what update is about. I'll let you guys know if there's anything else
For now Samsung Pay fails to initiate. Not sure if it's by design
Samsung Pay works for me after the update, still can't add any of my cards though.
Mine doesn't seem to want to update
Hmm, not appearing in Smart Switch for me yet.
All i get is loading loading loading. Better work on Monday or I will be a sad camper
New radios or bootloader?
Is it to soon to talk about battery life?

This update doesn't want to OTA to me.

Mine does the same thing. I wonder if it has anything to do with packages I disabled.
What do you mean packages? I didn't remove or do anything with any packages.

I disabled a lot of apps through Package Disabler Pro.
But I guess if you didn't disable anything that's not the issue.

is it true that all packages should be re-enabled prior to taking an OTA?
Does anybody have a odin flashable? Its not on samobile yet either.

i have a bunch of them disabled and didn't have a any trouble updating.
FIGURED OUT WHY SAMSUNG PAY WOULDN'T LOAD. I have lastpass installed and lastpass apparently kept it from unlocking. I opened lastpass first then immediately opened samsung pay and VOILA, it worked. This needs to be fixed somehow
I can't get the OTA on my phone. Just telling me I'm up to date.
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
I was just able to download it via Smart Switch; 1664 MB file. Almost grabbed the Odin flashable zip but didn't copy it in time before Smart Switch deleted it.
My Samsung Pay decided to initiate but it still says" coming soon"

It's probably a good idea to do that, specially with PDP having an option to export/ import your list of disabled apps.
Haven't run into any issues after taking OTA s but next time I'll take the time to re enable all apps before updating.

No root after 4 attempts

So got the switch back today and thought should i do this again to myself.... and thougt well root is more importent to me so i tried it with magisk latest... flashed all the proper and needed files booted but this time i didnt sign in with any accounts everything went smooth until i logged in about 5 mins after i checked if i had root which i had and after this i got a notifaction telling me security notice unauthorized actions have been detected and lost root magisk nolonger installed and dont want to reboot bevause i know i will brick... i have oem switch anyway i can save this??????
where can i download your rom?????
In the other thread where you posted this same post you said you flashed RMM state fix. What do you mean by "save this" & why do you think you are going to brick by rebooting? That's what the RMM state fix is for unless you are talking about something else.

I remember Sick rom for the Note 5. I suspect the OP is just using the banners. The dev who posted Sick rom is @SICKMADE, I don't think there is a Sick rom for the Note 8, if there is, I haven't seen it on XDA.

I've made a few Note 8 Roms I just never posted them... I shared with a few of my close supporters and that was it. I was in the middle of a new update and just yesterday getting into my car my phone slipped out of my pocket and as I was shutting my car door I slammed it right in the middle of my phone so now I need a new digitizer rofl. So back to the S6 Edge unfortunately for me for a while.

The whole experience across the board everything including the camera has improved. It is literally like getting a new phone. This is a killer value phone now. Picked mine off eBay open box for 280 bucks and after this update it's a hard phone to beat for this price point.
Works perfect, this is the final build.

Seems like it, the 60fps mode on 4k seems to be way better now.
The update caused my Google Pay to no longer work. The app cites that my phone may be rooted or using unofficial software. Other than that everything is quite an improvement.
What about OTAs now? Will they still work when sprint releases them?

No why would an update unlock an IMEI? IMEI number stays the same no matter the update and even v40 sim doesn't get unlocked if you flash a custom rom
Does anyone have a work around for Google Pay after the update?
can i install this on my unlocked AT&T g8?
