[Q] Why hasn't the Android 5.0 update shown up for me?

If I check for updates, it says there are none. Has the update been officially released yet or is everyone "manually" installing it?

the update has been released official by sony, but it's rolling out slowly. For now the update showed up in nordic regions, but it should soon start rolling out in other regions. If you're impatient you can always flash the update manually. Search the forums to find out how to do it
Press Thanks if i helped you

Same here. I have bought the phone without any carrier attached and no update yet even though at least some other folks in my country seem to have it already.
Should we wait or we should do the manual update? With the manual update, do we have to unlock the bootloader? I would actually like to avoid unlocking or rooting.

Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll just wait some more.

no you dont have to unlock your bootloader. You install flashtool,device drivers and ftf file you wish to flash. There are great guides in forums, search for them how to do it

By the way, once the update is available through the phone's update feature, will it be possible to do a fresh install or is updating the only way?

You can do a factory reset after the update. That's equivalent to a clean install.

Thanks. How would go about doing a factory reset after the update? Sorry, I'm an Android noob as this is my first Android phone. Secondly, after the update to Android 5.0 will the recovery "partition" of the phone also get updated to Android 5.0 or will it stay at 4.4.4?

I guess they are doing a roll in insteaf of rollout. Im short to ditching sony

Rollouts take time with Android phone OEMs, the update must be tested and approved seperately for each region and mobile operator. Some regions and mobile operators can be very slow at this, unfortunately. Just be patient and don't obsess too much over it.

With non oem phones (international version not tied to carrier) is it still expected that I may not have an update yet or should I start worrying something is wrong and should start look at the manual update?

Non-carrier =/= non-OEM. Sony is an OEM

Is there where you do a factory reset? If I use this feature, the phone will be formatted and return to its original "shipped" state?

But doesn't that just reset options and delete your data? Or does it perform an actual reformat?

New update PI2 (20160929) SPH-L720 (L720SPTGPI2)

Has anyone else received, and installed the new update?
I had it pop up this morning, 20160929, already downloaded (update.zip in /cache partition).
Opened the zip, and I see it has its own build #, the PI2.
This string is from the updater-script file:
Code:
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/jfltespr/jfltespr:5.0.1/LRX22C/L720VPUGOK3:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/jfltespr/jfltespr:5.0.1/LRX22C/L720VPUGPI2:user/release-keys" ||
The update prompt message is pretty vague:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm sure it will fail to flash with custom recovery (TWRP) on rooted stock ROM, with quite few system apps removed.
P.S.: If someone desires that update.zip, let me know, and I'll upload it.
Just wanted to share...

Weird, it hasn't been released for the L720T and they've gotten every other update first. I can't find any information about changes or anything, only place that it appears is on Samsung's open source website.

Yeah, I didn't see anything new on Sammobile either.

At this point there's nothing to separate. It's still only an OTA.

Thank you! With the P in the update, I thought it might be for Marshmallow, but the update is so small that it looks unlikely. Did anyone try installing this yet?

No, I'm kinda picking apart the update zip right now. Android for Work (which only requires 5.0+ so that doesn't tell us anything either) is the biggest change I see. There isn't a build.prop in the update.zip that downloaded to my phone this morning, which is weird... so I can't see what Android version it is yet, I'm hoping for at least 5.1.1 but it's doubtful. There's a lot of security and Knox stuff added which makes me think it's mainly a security update like the last 2 updates.

It's 5.0.1

Has anyone applied this update yet? I never received it on my phone and I'm wondering if i should download it from here and install it. I have the L720T by the way.

sph-l720 (not T) worked fine...
in order shown i:
-installed pi2 through kies3 on win 8.1 after backing up...
-using odin that came with latest cf-autoroot i re-rooted...
-using the same odin re-installed philz touch (older md5 version) and booted into it...
-installed latest (no longer in development) philz touch advanced version from zip file i have on sdcard1...
-rebooted into philz and installed very old emoji font support for samsung from a zip (dangerous) using philz...
-ran triangle away (very dangerous) and rebooted...

I was on stock rooted OK3, flashed back to stock, then updated using the update.zip, then ran CF-autoroot. I did hard reset after that because I wanted to start over anyway. Everything working fine.

Verizon 5G S10 will not update firmware/security patches, is it because of current FW

The Firmware I am on is G977UVRU0ASDG
I tried to update OTA and update assistant for PC and both failed saying this firmware cannot be updated. So I am really confused. Can someone confirm any further info about this firmware version? I enjoy the phone and I decided one day to check why I haven't gotten Android 10, and thus this is where I am now.
Also is it as simple as flashing the latest firmware via odin? If so, which site offers a dependable VZW firmware I can try flashing? Can I keep my files or would I have to make a backup first, flash via odin, then restore (which I hate to do because setting up a new phone takes so much time).
But most importantly I am curious to know more about this firmware version and what it is! Seems like VZW doesn't think its theirs. Thank you in advance.
Smartswitch says SDG, what is SDG? Is there a simple refresh/fix so that I can get OTA updates? Please help!

yeah, there were actually some crazy gestures that i noticed they got rid of in the FW i got it to upgrade to. LOL.

I'm having similar issues with the same firmware. Did you ever find a way to update your phone? I bought mine on ebay, supposedly NIB, but it came in generic packaging and said "demo" on a sticker on the back of the phone.

Android 10 has been released

I have the ATT VERSION and it just finished installing. The camera app works great. I try the rest out in morning and post. Post your thoughts of it.

Post some screenshots! How's it feel?

I got it last night as well. It feels different, runs smooth. I need more time to tell if battery is better. I'm mixed on the new UI...but it will grow on me. I haven't taken any pics with it yet...but the app looks different so I am sure there are changes. I love having system wide dark mode now. Overall it is an improvement from a short test drive.

I flashed from att to Unlocked, Is there a way to flash back?

T-Mobile is rolling out Android 10 now ....

T-Mobile
Got it on my T-Mobile V40 device as well. Just rebooted and it is installing right now.
Edit: Size is about 1.3Gb

What is Verizon doing? Why sleeps

Probably seeing what bloatware they can shove into it, first! I'm on a pre-release V40, and often get stuff right away.

Still waiting for the us unlocked version sigh

Has anyone with AT&T who did the unlock via the 9008 mode try this update? Right now my update fails, logcat shows a CRC error because boot_a was modified. I assume if I wanted to apply this update I'd need to restore boot_a and laf_a to the original copy. Then update, then unlock again via 9008 mode. Any issues with the unlock method and Android 10?

Got the T-Mobile update yesterday. The Settings page is completely reorganized and more logically arranged.

I should know better than to ask questions from customer service! Link got me somewhere general, nothing specific. What a surprise.

Question Xiaomi Developers are MORONS !!! - Do not update Framework Services

Hi All,
So it appears my phone has now died, and I am guessing it's the same issue that's affecting everyone in this thread....
I believe my issues occurred when I updated the Framework Services.
So DO NOT UPDATE FRAMEWORK SERVICES if you get the notification....
- Xiaomi staff/developers if you browse these forums, let it be known YOU ARE MORONS !!!
Please reply back to all of us, whose phones you've now broke and data potentially LOST !!!!
Anyone with a working phone, can you check the file name that is associated with Framework Services. And will see if I can uninstall/pull the file with ADB commands in Fastboot. As Fastboot is the only system that is stable at the moment...
Cheers, Lister

Hi All,
Ok, I might be getting somewhere with this....
So the package name is : com.xiaomi.xmsf
And here the offending/good versions.... Things all went a bit Pete Tong when upgrading to 6.0.5, before that things were rosey....
So, I've managed to sideload 5.4.2 via ADB commands, and it said Success.... I can now see my old desktop/icon layout, and not the basic/safemode version that been stuck in.
But things are still far from stable...
Xiaomi, if you're still reading.... you're still MORONs.... Where can I bill you for wasted time ??

Yeah same.... I already had USB Debugging on from the start. I removed the corrupt version, even forced the old original version back on. But yeah, the same... keeps rebooting.
I am hoping Xiaomi MORONs will release another version of Framework Service that restores any of the corrupt builds out, god knows there's a few now.
This update SUCKS.... I have a feeling gonna have to say goodbye data...

Hi BernardBlackBookshop,
Yeah, I only assumed it was the Xiaomi Framework Services... as up until that point, I hadn't installed anything else new. I too am on the same version as you, I've not received any notification yet to upgrade to A12.
The X F S was the last thing I installed, and was at 6.0.5 when I installed, so assumed that at the time. We was all trying to do anything/everything to get our devices back alive. The 6.0.5 came out 2x days before I applied the update, and died the following day without any other changes.
I see that X F S is now upto 6.0.8, which updated too... and no side effects yet. <pheeeew>
So glad @AdonysGames found the solution that day, as I was very close to wiping my phone and all the data with it...
Cheers, Lister
