should I update to Android Oreo 8.0? - Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers

Xperia X performance from Hong Kong finally got the update to Oreo, catching up with other regions with the same latest firmware.
My question is, I saw in Sony forums, they complain with Oreo performance (slower, hotter, etc).
Will I regret upgrading to Oreo, or I should just stick with 7.1.1?
Thank you.

Can you share the link to the update? I have read those comments but if you do a full wipe, it should be good

Definitely you should. Just that the initial load is slow. Takes up to 30mins for my phone to stabilise.
Then the memory and battery management is greatly improved!
Waited 1 year for it... Omg! It is a must have upgrade.

this is the one I got from Xpericheck (https://xpericheck.com/device/F8132):https://alfafile.net/file/88ytq
sorry for the late reply, I just got back to check the forum.

no need to pay money to alfafile.net. if you install Xperia Companion app, it finds the update automatically. No need to wipe everything either

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.

Flash AndroidOne ROM on other model

Hi everyone! I have XT1900-7 model (4gb and 64gb), one person here on XDA told me he turned his model into android one model flashing this firmware https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962157660013070030 with these files with script https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PCQwxaEDHZxBG_FwNWA0ozxfRumI31zd/view.
Just to be sure (no oreo update yet on my model and nothing said by lenovo), anyone else tried it? Future OTA updates?
Hey Giammarcoperiphery,
A very big thank you I searched for something like this quite a time and didn't find anything. As it's my debut on Motorola I just tried it (yeah I know all the risks but best way to learn) and yes, it worked perfect. Everything's fine now, with Oreo and Android One bootscreen.
I don't know if it gets further updates but afaik there's no reason it should not. Just typing this reply because I hope some experienced user will inform us when he sees there's activity on this Thread.
However, can you post a link where this topic was discussed/where you get the information? Thank you

Great! Is your model 1900-7 and 4/64 too? I think I'll try tomorrow :laugh:
No it's 3/32, only version in germany. But should not matter it's same software.
By the way, didn't get any notification for January-Security-Patch-update yet. I think it won't arrive because it's still reteu update channel.
However, Moto-Firmware-Team will certainly update the next Rom/OTA soon.

Got a link to the global/guide...I'm thinking of doing the same, fed up of hitting system update and seeing nothing!
https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/
just make sure you install the android bootdevice driver via have a disk.

So you flashed the unlocked version firmware to your three version to be clear? Wondering if it would be possible to do this with my AT&T version.
Yes that is exactly what I did stock 3uk to stock global

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

Thanks.
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

Where did you get this communication from?
I have just been told that they have no information currently on Twitter
Also on their live chat, I have been told that they don't deal with phone software and I would need to speak to Razer about the update!

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!!!
wrong section :x

Have you guys noticed any positive changes?

Any link to MR for October 2020 (00WW_5_16A)? Full OTA?

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?

Finding P40 Pro firmware

Been researching for ages now, made a good few mistakes, had gms services installed all smooth sailing, manually updated with hisuite and team mt to 10.0.1.175 but I've stuffed up now.
I went hunting for a firmware version to restore Ota updates and have spiraled down a deep dark rabbit hole.
Self inflicted issue I flashed Emui 10.0.1.154 from reading threads in hopes of regaining Ota updates but obviously wiped all the data (silly me made no backups) and now need to reinstall googlefier but I'm unable to with the firmware version being too high up.
Now begins the major issue I'm stuck at 10.0.154 and I can't find firmware anywhere as team mt online firmware finder is currently bringing back errors both through apk and online, I saw a thread somewhere about Huawei moving databases or something like that.
I have found some other sites like huaweidl but the firmwares hosted are incompatible
I have a Els-NX9
Build is (185E9R4P1)
Region is clearly C185
I've typically searched for ELS-LGRP4 firmwares as the results often were favorable.
Currently I can't find firmware to match closest I've gotten is (C432) firmwares which is probably why Ota updates stopped working in the first place.
At this point I don't care about emui 11 or updates anymore I just want gms and gapps back I'm losing my mind can anyone assist?

Just an update @starbase64 thank you for the firmware, what a treat both my issues solved tonight after many a late night of searching and reading. I have both Gms now and Emui 11 through Ota updates.
Just to provide my method to other readers,
I downloaded the aforementioned firmware version for my build. Extracted it to a USB thumbdrive making sure the dload folder was at the root of the drive. And then used the otg method to flash the firmware.
@Bender007 also want to say thanks for the amazing googlefier app, both times now it was super easy to work with.
