When I was traveling in Australia I purchased a Nokia 8(TA-1012) in April. I was using with Telstra sim. After I purchased, it got update from 7.1.1 to 8.0 with February security patch . I was expecting to have 8.1 with April security patch. I decided to try with a Finnish sim card. After I install Elisa sim from Finland it got update first March then April security patch. But didn't receive 8.1. I reinstalled Telstra sim and keep using my phone. Now I come back to home, Turkey and keep phone with Finnish sim Elisa(Nokia 8 is not my primary phone).
Still no update to may security patch and 8.1
What's wrong? How can I update this phone to lastest software

Unfortunately, what you experienced is the same problem that effects all the majority of Australians with android phones.
You may be able to use the same technique I use (in Australia) to get OTA updates which is to remove the SIM, disable location services and use a VPN to get updates

I am having issues with the WiFi on my TA-1012. After I've done a Full Wipe Data via Recovery Menu, the camera update was done. Maybe you could try this. Unfortunately, my WiFi problem still persists

Hi,
End of January I bought a P10 SIM free from a major UK retailer.
It is stuck on March 1st 2017 updates, with no updates available.
I contacted Huawei support - they say my IMEI should be on B162. But I get no update OTA, and even through the HiSuite app it says I have latest.
They said I have to send the phone back for 2 weeks and they will factory reset and upgrade. This is unbelievable to me.
They told me if I use the firmware finder app I would void warrenty. But I thought if I do not root and install the authorised firmware version (B162) then they wouldn't know or it wouldn't be a problem.
I am a little confused by the number of different firmwares in the app, many with the same version number. How do I know which to use? What is the difference between OTA-MF and FullOTA-MF (from the sizes I guess full is full and other is incremental).
Will any of them get me back on the official upgrade path, or if I do this will it be manual updates forever from now on?
Do I have to root to install the firmware from firmware finder (I think not?)
I always thought people who focussed on stock android were silly, and I quite like EMUI but I am really regretting buying Huawei now.

depending on your CUST code you'll have to claim contact to your brand... I mean if your rom is "customized" by the carrier is not only Huawei but also the carrier who has to work on the update the other option depending on your model is to Debrand and change the firm to L29C432 and get the updates of the official but be careful about bricks or Sim detection problems...read all threads talking about debranding and go ahead if you feel confident to avoid a brick

Thanks. It is retail SIM free non-branded. Ie just bought from a store nothing to do with any carrier. I don't really understand the difference between L29 and L09. Mine shows L09 at the moment. Are they different hardware versions?

Hardware is (almost) the same. L29 allows to use both sims in the sim tray.
Just to update.
I used Firmware Finder to install B186A update. Worked perfect and have January 2018 security patch level.
The more recent B185 firmwares are rollback firmwares for downgrading from Oreo. Check the release notes carefully and make sure you chose an upgrade firmware (not a rollback firmware) that is authorized for your IMEI. (For me B186 was not approved but B186A was).
None of the Oreo firmwares were authorized for my device.

Were you able to simply download the firmware from Firmware Finder and install directly? Were there any other steps you had to follow to do this correctly?
Reason i ask is that i am in same situation as you were. Purchased Sept 2017 via O2 in the UK, no updates at all (still on L90C432B113), contacted Huawei and O2 about Oreo with no possible updates and showing March 2017 Security Patch Level.
Getting sick of waiting and looking to move to Oreo as soon as possible.
Any tips would be helpful - thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you.
I was on B120 with a Serbia certified P10.
I installed B186A from Firmware Finder. (at the time I did it B185 was not approved). Its important to do the check with the IMEI number within the app to see if the firmware is signed for your device. I did the proxy method, where you set the proxy, pause download at 5%, unset proxy and it worked very smoothly.
I think the main thing is to make sure you chose an upgrade firmware and not a rollback firmware. They are not labelled clearly and the only difference is in the readmes so check carefully. There are a few more recent B185 firmwares which I found confusing, but they are for people who need to rollback from orea (and so reset the device).
A couple of days later I got Oreo B365 over the air (not through the app). Upgrade went very smooth.
Big improvement in battery life and overall performance better all round.
With Project Treble in place I hope updates will be quicker, and maybe even easy to install stock one day.
My P10 have the code VTR-L09GBRC555. I'm currently on B152, and I'm curious if oreo is available.
Firmware finder say that L09C432B360 is compatible.
There is a way to rebrand without bootloader unlocked?
Thanks
No, I am pretty sure you must rebrand first. Apparently unlocking bootloaders does not seem possible at the moment, so you will have to wait.
HUAWEI UK told me that the update for my device has been released on 13.04 and I should wait
Hi,
Has your phone updated yet? I'm also on L09GBRC555B152. Firmware Finder showed a new B360 update on June 1st, which then changed to B365 on June 2nd and now is back to B360, but neither of them are authorised for my IMEI and regular Software Updates shows no updates.
An update to B360 has just popped on my phone through regular OTA
Can I ask what UK provider you're on?
On VTR-L09C440B171, EE UK, no Oreo updates so far.

Dear xxx xxx,
Thank you for the provided details.
We have checked in our sytem and based on the IMEI number, Android Oreo has been launched for your device this month. You will receive it soon, through OTA by a notification on your device. To check the available updates, the available tips: Settings> Update*system> Search Updates.

You can try the Firmware Finder App. It has a proxy and DNS feature for OTA update. Worked for me for not released B370.

I unlocked my bootloader directly on there site last Friday so it's still a viable option ?
Hi guys,
I want to know how to update to latest oreo update with all the security patches.
I am following this how-to thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...w-to-install-android-oreo-snapdragon-t3716281 but in the OP the links are broken.
Can anyone update me on this?
The phone is from verizon but I didn't use it on verizon. I got this phone last November. Currently using on Cricket, so probably I don't get automatic updates from Verizon.
my note 8 info:
7.1.1
experience v. 8.5
security patch level Nov 1, 2017
Baseband v. N950USQS2BQK2
Thanks in advance.

I am unsure if you should be on a much newer filmware or not. Sometimes a factory reset can resolve OTA not coming through, this will delete the phone memory though, so back up your data.
You can also get official filmware from sammobile and updato. Just if you want to flash Oreo with Odin, make sure you use the latest version of Odin (3.13.1)

I am on Cricket and using Verizon note 8 that I got from last December. Last update was in November when I still have Verizon. After inserting Cricket sim card, there has never been an update anymore. I turned on Wifi and went into settings> software update to refresh, and there is no awaiting update. I didn't change to unlock firmware (as I do not know how). How do you go about installing the updates to latest Oreo using Odin? I am on 7.1.1 with build 2BQK2

I recommend that you try a factory reset to see if that pushes the OTA update.
If this fails, I will help you step by step with Odin.
I'm still on Android 8.0 on my unlocked Moto X4 (XT1900-5). Is anybody else still 8.0 with this model?

Yes, I did not receive the OTA update to pie from Motorola yet (xt1900-7).
Glad to hear it, I was starting to think something was wrong with my handset.
Me too. We were left behind.
OTA server issue?
Are you in the UK? My moto x4 is stuck on the exact same update. XT1900-5, reteu software channel.
Motorola UK's website shows that the Pie update has been released when in actual fact, it has not been released at all. I have a feeling that there has been some error or issue with the OTA server causing no one here to recieve it.
A few people got it in December when it was released for all other variants, but that OTA clearly stopped soon after and now there have been no updates since October. It's a pretty poor performance from Motorola to be honest. I see no reason why they can't at least release security updates for Oreo.
Yep in the UK XT1900-5, unlocked.

With an unlocked bootloader, you usually will not get any OTA updates. If you can download them, then you cannot install them.

I meant unlocked, as in SIM free.
I've emailed Motorola, who told me they contacted their technical team. They are adamant that Pie will be released officially in the "near future" and they are aware there haven't been any updates since October. So, take that as you wish.
The Android 9.0 update has just appeared on my phone today.
Someone over on reddit mentioned that he wasn't getting it ota, but temporarily switched to a SIM from another carrier and it immediately showed up when he booted to the new SIM.
It seems that it now says on Motorola's UK software upgrade page, that the Moto X4 sim free began rolling 9.0 on 24th June 2019.

That would've been me. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence though because the update was released on the same day!
I had a similar experience. XT1900-5 version, running android 8.0.0 when I bought it. Didn't find any updates when I searched to try to update it to android 9 (pie) , I unlocked the bootloader, and later on decided to put a sim in it. After a few minutes of having the sim in, it found the update. The update downloads but when it's downloaded and in the "verifying" stage, it fails, probably because I unlocked the bootloader.
Advice to anyone with a locked bootloader - don't be like me, try putting a sim in the phone and get the update before doing anything else if you want Android 9.

must be stock rom to allow update to complete. Plug it to Motorola Rescue and Smart Assistant to see if it will update it.
Currently running Baseband Version N960USQU1CSC1, Android Security Patch level: March 1, 2019.
I have never received an OTA update since buying my phone in Aug 2018. For the Android Pie update and all updates since, I have been performing them via ODIN.
Neither AT&T not Samsung have been able to troubleshoot this issue. Appreciate any help on how I can setup my phone to receive OTA updates.
Thanks!

The new firmware is in another post. Just Odin and you'll be current.
I have unlocked on AT&T , and just got the April update this morning, all OTA. Never had to Odin the updates , but definitely not as quick as the carrier branded models. I have only added the APN names when I got the phone(preorder so August 2018) and that's the only setting I changed.
Didnt think flashing instead of waiting for OTA would cause any troubles, but Samsung is sneaky sometimes. Have you thought that maybe you flashed the incorrect files, maybe carrier vs unlocked? Also, factory wipe and reset ? I know the pie update did some screwy things for me and it seemed better after a wipe .
