[Q] Am i posting it wrong?

Hi
I'm new to forums. But I like this one. People are discussing stuff instead of complaining about their devices. I'm learning a lot. But I still need an answer to my question. And I don't think it's very complex. So I thought maybe I'm posting it wrong. Is there anything else one should do to get there post replied to. Like tagging it in some way. It's not a complaint. I really wanna know to be able ro enjoy the forum fully.
Cheers

You don't need to do anything special. What is your question?

Oh cool
Hi
Thank you very much indeed for replying. I was just wondering if it was safe to update a rooted galaxy 8.9. I got the update message in my settings so it's a proper factory official update but I've never done it before so I was a bit worried after having read about some bricked phones and (don't even know what bricked means but sounds scary).
And if you could answer another question as well please that would be really nice.
Recently my tablet crashed in a weird way so I had to reinstall every single application on my tablet. After the crash every single app was force closing and it asked me for the date and the region. Since then it crashes not very often but regularly. So I thought maybe I need to do a hard reset or even reflash the rom. But now, as far as understand, updating my firmware should sort it out for me. Am I right in thinking so?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have not heard of anyone who has bricked their gt8.9 updating a rooted device. You possible loose root when you update, but you can just flash the root.zip again. In worst case you end up with a soft brick, this can be fixed with flashing stock firmware with Odin.
If you are having random crashes, i would start with factory reset. Please dont forget to backup before, because factory reset will delete everything on your tablet.
Update to latest version. Latest versions are a lot better then early builds.
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much indeed.
Will I be alright following the instructions in this forum's guide on how to use the ODIN?

Yes, but i don't think you are going to need Odin. Just click update. If you get any problems, then let us know and I'm sure that there is someone here who will help you restore stock firmware if needed.

This thread has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to contribute other than to say that you're a class act, poisike. Too many people on XDA think it's OK to be rude to newcomers and that obnoxious comments about using search add value to the board. +6 internets to you.

Thanks but this is the old version 20 "L" ! 20 "Q" is the most current.
Thanks for the work anyway.

ive checked and its not on the list of "stock roms". as someone said "they were amazed the devs missed this one."
sorry i had the other thread deleted because i was having major upload issues and the thread digressed into 3 pages of chit chat. now its up. i wonder what can be done with it. it would be great to see alot of satisfied ANZACS with perhaps a better firmware for us.

you did a great job but the firmware 20 L had serious problems including the fix of the GPS satellites if the gps was not active at startup! all resolved with the 20 q

I will try that CP.bin file sometime this week and let you know. I think the AP part is just the applications part.
Anyway, it is a good will from your side that you took this much trouble to upload the entire stock ROM for us. Appreciate that very much .
(ANZAC was my way of creating humor .Just meant AU and NZ people. Sorry if I offended anyone , especially the pacifist types).

cher. anything special about that fw? why did the 2degree's agent recommend this one, and puts it on nz fones?

Maybe because they didn't have access to v20Q firmware?
I agree with join85 though, v20Q resolved almost all of the bugs of earlier GB firmware, and at the same time, improves on overall speed.
I definitely recommend keeping this thread though. It never hurts to have backup roms everywhere.

ive install the leak and rooted now...
for dongrade can i run smartflash with 20q?!
will work?!

I think there are some kdz flashables of v20q around. most are cwm zip's though.

Custom Roms

I saw in another post that the kernel source got released, Im new to this, I was reading a post about how to create custom roms and all that, and i was wondering , we do need root access to get the system files and all that to begin working on a rom ?
What i wanted to do was basically a full stock lollipop rom, but with the Axon Software ( Camera, Dolby Digital, and a few other things ).
I dont have any background expirience creating roms, but whats leading me to this is , loving the phone but hating the toggles, and a few other software bugs ive encountered.
I have some programming knowledge, and I will make this my little side project if theres any chance for it to be done. If anyone has some background and wanna help/teach me, ill be thankfull.
This is the link I been following.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690

I have no programming knowledge, but I'll gladly provide moral support and encouragement in this endeavor! A stock lollipop rom with ZTE features would be spectacular.

I know right ? Well, If by any chance it can be done, ill keep trying. I guess first we need root.

I would like to support this and I have some java and c++ programming experience. The only problem is that there hasn't been any word on root methods or bootloader unlock methods. Supposedly ZTE phones come bootloader unlocked already, but I haven't been able to prove this since we can't access the bootloader via fastboot :/ if we can at least get root that would be a good start.

Marshmallow on Axon Elite?
Hi all,
I came across this poat while checking for new ROMS. If this checks out I would happily go for the Elite as the price point and features are value for money. For those of you who do have it can you confirm that this is actually a Marshmallow ROM.

What's up with all of the surveys?

That's what I thought but beyond that has anyone managed to actually get the ROM and verify it to be working?
I am on the cross roads for a new phone.

I was hoping to get the Elite and be able to flash it as the phone had a lot of potential!

You need to install Google Play Services and Google Services Framework. You will need to sideload these apk's. You will need to Google them.

Please, how can i upgrade my ZTE AXON Elite to Android 6.0? Is it posisible? Thanks

Marshmallow isn't available for this device yet.

When will a custom ROM appear for the Axon Pro?I hate all these chinese stuff and i would like to have the option to reset the phone and redo all the Gmail account,without the phone asking me for the last gmail account.I bought the phone from a friend and i did a reset later that day and it kept asking me for the old account.It sayd that the phone was reset and needs the old account and i couldn't go forward because it kept connecting to google and asked for the old account.I had to use my friends account again to use the phone.I want a simple rom,without this stupid connection to google and other chinese stuff.Any idea when a rom will be available?

No clue but now that you have your friends Google account you should be able to delete it and add your own.

I'm surprised that there isn't any custom roms for this phone yet,i mean its a phone with 4gb of ram,810 Snapdragon so its pretty powerful.

I did a factory reset and it keeps saying that the phone was reset and i need to enter the gmail account that was previously entered.I also tried entering 15-20 time in a row ,because a lot of people say on forums that on note 4 and other phones if you enter the wrong account,the phone will reset and it will let you enter another account.On ZTE this doesn't work .

Nothing new for the AXON PRO?

Anyone else getting the feeling there will be no Nougat for our device?

I have a sixth sense for when a device has been all but abandoned, and I am getting that feeling now. Considering they just released a huge MIUI update without the Mix, I can't say I am particularly hopeful for the future of this phone. May be time to throw it up on swappa while it's still worth something.

The "huge MIUI update" you are referring to is MIUI 8.2. If you check your device info, you'll see that the Mix is already running MIUI 8.2. This is why you didn't see the Mix in the list of updated devices.
Now, regarding the Nougat update, considering Xiaomi built a lot of hype with the Mix, it is unlikely that Xiaomi will abandon this device.
But Xiaomi has a history of abandoning some really good devices like the MiPad. So we'll never know.

Well, no, its 8.2 global. A global rom doesn't even exist for the Mix. So I consider that a huge update.

N for the mix is already in testing according to mods on the eu and official forum. Also recently saw a listing for the mi mix EVO with a qc835, plus the CEO wants to build another mix....My gut feeling is this phone isn't going anywhere and we will have N within a quarter. Remember the s7 just got N on carriers in the US this week.

You won't receive any updates as long as you're on the Vendor ROM. You need to flash to the EU ROM or one of the custom ROMs in this forum using the guides provided. The guides are quite straightforward. So you'll safely boot the ROM you want providing you follow the guides EXACTLY.
I personally prefer the Xiaomi.EU ROM and I just checked the languages available on this ROM for you. Found "Norsk Bokmal" in the list of available language options. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is Norwegian. I am not sure though as I don't know the language.
Cheers!

Whilst in no way invalidating the examples of times when their support wasn't great, there have also been times when Xiaomi's support for their devices has been well-above-average - someone recently posted a thread on reddit detailing one such example.
So we can't read too much into previous devices as a guide for what will happen with the Mix.
These sorts of threads appear for almost every device - it doesn't matter which device or which manufacturer, they inevitably pop up. People convince themselves they know what's going to happen and, most of the time, they're wrong.
Not to mention, Xiaomi have publicly stated the Mix will be one of their devices to be updated to Nougat.
A pretty unnecessary thing to say if they're secretly planning to ignore it.

Rooting the phone is not a necessity to flash the EU ROM.. You should flash the dm-verity and forced encryption disabler patch on TWRP if you don't plan to root. Follow the guides exactly and you'll be fine.

No, you have to unlock your bootloader only and flash TWRP using fastboot. But after installing Epic you're rooted anyway. Epic is pre rooted. For unlock procedure google unlock Xiaomi for example. Best is you start here:

Gesendet von meinem Xiaomi Mi MIX

Mine updated to 8.2.2.0 OTA just fine soon after I got things setup [it wanted or offered the update soon after being turned on - but I needed to sort stuff out first]. Abandoned ... hardly ... having run 7 on the Honor 8 and the Mate 9 ... its not THAT huge a thing to wait for it to come along through the usual process. Give it time and be patient, phones only a few months old anyways.

Three UK Android Pie Update.

Just wanted to open a thread to let you know that I have spoken to Three UK today (28/02/2019) and they have confirmed that over the next few weeks we should be receiving the Android Pie update for out devices.

Firstly as I don't know about US carriers double check to see if you can unlock the bootloader in developer options (OEM unlocking) then follow this guide I used minimal ADB fastboot and had to add the razer driver via have a disk this is the guide to follow

Just wanted to update you all, have just received a communication from THREE UK saying they are running final testing before deploying the update for us. I know people have flashed the stock firmware and have already updated to Pie, this is for those who haven't and are still waiting. By the way, just to add, if you want to run good games one your phone, download Dolphin Emulator, just tried it and it runs games like Splinter Cell and Resident Evil Zero on your Razer 2

Just to let you know, I found this article on the interweb which describes the process of an update being rolled out. It does state that if a carrier wants extra features included in the update, this takes extra time and testing, so that gels with the response I got from the support guys. I am leaning towards trusting the response I got from this
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/how-android-software-update-sony/amp/

Rolling out NOW! Just checked for the update through the settings and it's available.
Downloading immediately!

Update is indeed live now
Could anyone post the system update changelog for me?

Heya Guys and gals,
Get mashing that update button cuz its live and available I hope my updates and communications have been helpful over the past few weeks. Enjoy and LLAP. Lets hope it works flawlessly

All installed this end. No issues to report! At long last!!!
