Any news on the new FUZE update posted on HTC website? I've tried downloading it and it won't accept my s/n at this point. Others have said the same. I have a non-flashed original ROM so I know I am a candidate for the new update. What's going on? And when will it REALLY be available?
There is a thread in ROM section. Please check that thread. Also, this thread is in wrong section.

Mods, you can close this thread....
Have you guys got any bugs in the latest 5.1.1 update?
The only minor bug I have found is the Samsung's GameRecorder+ and SideSync does not open. It closes whenever I open it. Funny part is that when you go to their respective play store link, it says support for 5.1.1 for note 4 has been added. So I am not much in concerned about these bugs, all though I use them often.
So have you got any other bugs in the latest 5.1.1 update in your models? Please write it down so that we don't have to be the only one in this world with these bugs. My model is N910C XSG [UAE] .

Going through all close to stock roms for the N9 and thought I would try N960FXXS2ARL4 from the following thread, that was a mistake. And I would have posted this in the above thread to make people aware, but its been closed. -
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../n960f-fd-rom-devbase-modified-final-t3903293
I ended up going down this rabbit hold because the N960FXXS2ARL3 listed in the OP failed to flash, I thought nothing of this and as I have seen this issue with many other roms in the past and figured it was just a corrupt file. So I wiped and proceeded to flash an earlier version of Alexandr's DevBase (based on Android 8.x) and it was at this point I start seeing the no-entry icon in-place of the signal meter.
According to the OP in that thread N960FXXS2ARL4 is supposed to be the lastest Rom/Bootloader for Android 8.1 and I thought I was safe to flash this rom via TWRP, as I had been specifically avoiding upgrading to any stock Android 9.x rom's due to the known issue of not being able to downgrade to either stock or custom Android 8.x roms. So I flashed Android 9.0 version of Alexanders Devbase and sure enough the signal meter is back, indicated that N960FXXS2ARL4 bootloader/rom from the Da-Boss thread for want of a better word f***ed something. Because even flashing the pure stock rom based on N960FXXS2ARL4 that this handset(SM-N960F) came with when I bought it will not get the signal meter to come back.
Can someone confirm if N960FXXS2ARL4 bootloader allow's backwards flashing? if yes what could have possible happened that's causing my issue?
Ok so to my chargrin after searching through Alexandr repo on androidfiles I see he had a version on his own thread that was newer than the one in Da-Boss thread. So currently I am trying various rom's to see if there is even a nats chance I can get this device back to 8.1 compliant.
plz dont post in the rom development section. post in the Q n A or general discussion sections.
also plz search about bootlaoder downgrades and revision number and modems and firmware files.
ud have seen that once you are on a revision, you cant downgrade to a lower one. BL rev is usualy 5 th character starting from the right. both your firmwares you point to are on rev 2. just check in system/software info. to know. moreover CP aka baseband aka modem dont always play nice when they arent in sync with a particular rom/base.
try this,
wipe everything > > flash latest csg5 bootloader > flash rom > flash latest csg2 modem and reboot for the first boot.
it should work properly.

I posted here because the thread with the ROM responsible for all my aggravation is in this section.
I didn't flash the modem to start with, just flashed the p.o.s. ROM from Da-Boss thread, which I can only assume tried to flash the bloody bootloader/modem which would be a feet in of itself as the flash in twrp failed. Also as I said previously this Note 9 came with N960FXXS2ARL4. Which is actually a newer version then the one in the Da-Boss thread, so flashing (or having the fail to flash) should not have caused the issue with the bootloader/modem it now has.
@mods, feel free to move this to another section, but can I request the download links in the Da-Boss thread be removed please -
As the thread is closed
It has been demonstrated here and in that thread that this ROM is badly broken.

Read the OP fella, I specifically stated I do NOT want to go to Android 9.0
Unless your saying that CSG5 Modem/Bootloader allow downgrading? if so got evidence of this...

I dont say you go for android 9.0 either.
if you dont flash latest bootloader and latest modem, you are unable to use android 8.1, I am using ASB1 oreo now.
you can downgrade BL and modem, but your modem wont work if you boot your ARL4.
thats why after rom is installed you have to flash latest modem for made it work.
I have reported the Da-BOSS thread requesting the download link be removed due to the rom being broken, so that other dont have to deal with the same aggravation I did.

The above suggestions/advice and resulted in a softbrick, where the phone would not boot. So now I am having to do what I didn't want to do and upgrade all the way to Android 9.0 just to get a working phone. To say I am unimpressed at this point is an understatement.
And to add insult to injury, I now no longer have the OEM unlock option in the dev options, for which there is no current work around.... happy ***ing days.
maybe @Da-BOSS should come and see what you went through and explain why originally you had issues and tell if it has anything to do with him requesting the rom thread to be closed.(if it was a known issue why not edit out rom links to save users from the problems...transparency is key...)
this situation reminds me of the broken twrp 3.3.1 thread from arteuse) ive asked it to be closed or at least edited to warn users about the issue with parsing scripts while flashing zip but i was told that as xda users, we should be aware that flashing what ever we find here is at or own risk. even if many have pointed out issues, they won't censure nor close anything.(mod told me this) funny how comments and posts are censured and deleted every day for foul language though....double standard maybe?
The ROM is no longer maintained and no longer supported by me so any issues you are having it surely not my fault especially if the thread are already closed due to Alexndrs already have the latest Oreo version which is ASB1 so... there's no need for ARL4 to be supported by me after ASB1 got released... why the duplication?
Why would you use something that its thread are closed? Even at the first page of the thread.. it will tell you that [Thread Closed] at the first sight ! so... it is good that you reported about the link! I didn't know that! it was taking space on my cloud drives for nothing
Edit:-
Removed the file from my drive! To prevent any new accidents from new people on xda.

I didn't say it was your fault in any of the thread's I have mentioned this specific issue, how ever in your thread a number of people mentioned having the same issue of the ROM not flashing correctly from twrp so imho you should/could have removed the link at that point. And I didn't know Alexandr's file repo was browseable untill after the fact, otherwise I would have never even looked at your thread.
Because I wanted de-bloated version of the rom already on the phone, grand atleast something good came of it and thank you for removing the link. I didnt think to email you directly about it mainly because the devs on this forum are on for the most part very busy individuals.
I gave up the fight with the Note9 in the end as I had to flash it to stock Android 9 which for me is a non-starter for the time being (no reliable xposed, so no Xprivacy), that and the CSG5 removes the OEM unlock option so no rooting and no twrp.

its been reported many many many times. I've had pm and posted thread comments to the dev.
dev only made a rant reply about it and never modiyed his op. since many people have had the issue and what's deceiving is they each report the problem and blame the rom( multiple report on ambasadii and light rom threads) because they don't realize its not the rom but twrp that's not flashing correctly the rom. anyways i think it's time to ask an mod to move this thread via PM or something.
btw since ure on pie now. try ambasdii rom v5. its fully pack with features. the Rom Control is nice.

Sorry fella, didn't mean to sound condescending - I was referring to the twrp 3.3.1.0 thread.

Ok we are getting a bit off topic here but @ XDA mods, WTF like! Anyway this rings a bell so I take it the current consensus is to avoid 3.3.1.0 on all devices and use the previous version for the time being?
Im not, I sold the Note9 today. Android 9 is a non-starter for the time being (no reliable xposed, so no Xprivacy), that and the CSG5 removes the OEM unlock option so no rooting and no twrp. May get a s10 or s10e once we have a working & reliable magisk, twep and xposed.
Having gone the conversion route I've been relying on Asus' website to check for and download latest OS. It's now been coming up blank for last week though.
Anyone know what's going on and where to go now?
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ROG-Phone-II/HelpDesk_BIOS/
I think your URL is incorrect.
https://rog.asus.com/phones/rog-phone-ii-model/helpdesk_download/
Thanks! Looks like it changed, Google didn't really help me but there you were instead!
The firmware update has been moved before it was in bios/firmware section now it's in software/tools
Since my question is always 'overposted', I just ask in this new thread only this question and please nothing else but the answer to it:
Looking the the link to the latest MR full OTA release MR for October 2020 (00WW_5_16A).
There is a link on the telegram group but it lists the full ota as a K release which after updating to it brings only SP4 and not the MR as listed on Nokia site.
Thank you in advance

It's the true way to ask your such kind of question in a new thread.
5.16A looks like to still be in release progress. Not everybody has recieved it (including me). I don't think we are going to have full OTA file (the last one is 5.150). So the only way to have this build will be through over the air (partial OTA update files can't be sideloaded). And K is equivalent to G-SP04.
I know, that is why I asked it. Duh. And if you did not get it, go to telegram site and just download it. So back to my question here, if anybody will have it, kindly post a link. Thank you.
Hi @theviking33,
I don't know if this is exactly what you want, as I don't think it's the "full" image, just the OTA update, but this is the OTA V5.16A which my global Nokia 8 TA-1012 was just updated to, link captured by bug report: https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/893b8fb3b0f02af9f16b519bdbaabdbe7e5d7fcd.zip
Feel free to share to the telegram OTA group, etc. As the final MR I hope this can be the future basis for developing stable ROMs, on which I see there has been some good progress!
Now, you can do me a favour - please tell me what's changed between this and the previous version, which for me was 5.15G? This could help us understand why not all phones received this MR, which could also help with ROM development.
Cheers
Thanks @madb1lly, it sideloaded fine on my TA-2012. I'll let you know if I notice any differences but I'm not using my Nokia 8 much, just wanted to get that final MR.
Hi @madb1lly , any news on the 00WW_5_16A update experience? I'm having problems with strong interfering noises on the other end of most phone calls. It only happens on longer conversations after talking more then 30 min. Do not know how to find the source of this problem. Tried a new SIM card, emptied cache on phone app storage, and nothing helps. Everything else is great and happy with my Nokia 8. Was hoping this last security patch could maybe solve the problem. Anybody have similar problems??
Can we pin this thread to the top please?
