I am trying to check for updates but I am not seeing the recent update that is being pushed out yet, so I was wondering if someone managed to capture the OTA file
Here are the details:
Firmware Version: MSM8960PRO_BP_23255.138.89.00R
Kernel Version: 3.4.42-gb476356 hudsoncm @ ilclbld99 # 1 Tue Aug 25 07:43:11 CDT 2015
System Version: 222.27.5.ghost_row.Retail.en.US
Build Number: LPA23.12-15.5
Pulled this off my phone: https://mega.nz/#!a4Mz2BiQ!VSxGh6g2oLviQ5yO9bhlh9-MCVBTf3GE7vzYZ3ZYvw0
But I haven't been able to apply it, even after using fastboot to flash stock system partition. All the hashes fail comparison.
All my attempts at taking this have failed as well, I even reflashed stock 5.1 from Motorola and tried. Have you tried sideloading this?

Yes, I think it is a bad OTA. It failed at me as well.

My phone won't even start now. I disabled and uninstalled xPosed and flashed the stock recovery, and restarted and it let me download and install the update. Then I check my phone and it won't start. I get the boot screen with the rotating globe, then just a black screen. Scouring the forums for a fix.
I've tried re-locking the bootloader but can't seem to get that to work now that I've moved to 5.1. The method I used previously just fails. It looked like unlocked bootloaders were failing on the update.

I hate to say this, but, did you try powering it off & back on? Ever since 5.1 whenever I've reloaded the firmware the initial boot always locked up on me.
someone has succeded with the update here:

I do have an unlocked bootloader on my XT1053 Dev Edition, so maybe you're right, unlocked BLs can't upgrade? Damn shame. I ended up having to format the system partition and completely sideload the stock 5.1 ROM from scratch. Such a pain. I'm holding off on upgrading for now. Either going to get a new phone soon anyway or start flashing ROMs. I never felt the need to flash anything fancy on here since stock Android + Moto's tweaks + some Xposed/GravityBox magic were perfect for me, but I may have to flash something that has Stagefright built in.
I should add, at this point, I'm just glad to have a working phone. I'm no magician with this stuff, and there was a point last night where I thought I had completely bricked my phone.
Check out the link in post #7 above - it worked for me.

Should I bother trying this? What's new? I'm on U firmware which I like but should I wipe to go to Oreo?
Anybody tried this?

Personally I think is not worth it. This is not final build and will delete data from your device. Then next one will show up in couple days or even (maybe) tomorrow. If I will you I will wait for around another 3-4 weeks to get more stable build.
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA Premium HD app
I tried it -- the installation took about an hour in Recovery, mainly stayed in the "Patching system files". This install *WILL* wipe your phone (not your SD card though).
The build was super fast (even faster than a fresh Nougat flash).
There were two things that caused me to flash back to Nougat.
- The Wi-Fi was extremely weak. At my desk at work, I can normally see 6 Wi-Fi networks. 4 of them are in my office. With Oreo, I could only see two of them, and it struggled to stay connected to the one that I normally have full signal on.
- Also, my AT&T Gear S2 Classic could not be connected. Upon attempting to pair (after confirming the PIN on phone/watch) Samsung Gear gave a message stating that I need to ensure my phone was compatible and that I had the latest Samsung Gear app. I confirmed that there were no available updates for ANYTHING in the Play Store and Galaxy Apps. Both stores showed that my app was up to date.
If it weren't for those two issues, I'd still be on the Oreo build right now.
Another point -- I experienced my first freeze/reboot on this phone in Oreo. I've had the phone since June of last year and never had any freeze/reboot issues previously. Never dropped or gotten the phone wet, etc.
Hope this helps anyone who is wanting to flash the build!

DO you know can i install this update on my 935U model and how can i do it ?
You need to ODIN to 935A's latest build (BRA1) then you can upgrade to this Oreo build by flashing it in Recovery.

Thanks to @norbarb for that link. I downloaded it the other day. You will have to unRAR the files after you open the initial ZIP file -- otherwise ODIN won't find the files.

Without a PC, you cannot update to Oreo unless you're already on the AT&T G935A firmware.

As far as I can tell, there's not an OTA sideload update path to BRA1. Someone else may be able to chime in with it.
I assume you are not an AT&T customer, otherwise you could use the official OTA method to get to BRA1.

Thanks for the feeback, I tried this and I agree on weak Wifi on Oreo. I will keep and play with it for sometime before going back to Nougat. Hopefully new stable version shows up soon.
You are a lucky man because i'm flashing via adb and only 59 %. Which issue with a WiFi ? Can you please provide me more information and maybe do you know who will it fix ?
Thank you

I face the same issues you have described. Originally after applying the Oreo update, I was not able to enable Bluetooth nor WiFi. I had to reboot to recovery and wipe cache.
Once that was done, I was able to get WiFi and Bluetooth to work.
I have the Galaxy Fit2 and was not able to sync watch to the phone with the same error you received. ( I tried the version 3..1.80.80109 of Samsung Accessory Service as suggested in another thread, no luck.)
WiFi as you described is pitiful, luckily I don't rely on WiFi as much so I will continue on with this Oreo build.
Does anyone know how to turn off the red heart rate sensor light off? It is accidentally turning on even if I dont get my finger on it after oreo update

Wifi issue meaning weak signals in Wifi connection on Oreo. I simply followed the steps in flashing through SD card and it took a while (40 mins or so) but eventually it went through the install.
Has anyone tested the latest beta leaks for the Note 8 One UI N950USQU5DRL5, DRL6, or DRL7. Here is a LINK to Androidsage with instructions. I am tempted to install however I have a Gear S2 watch and Gear VR. If I read correctly DRL6 and 7 work with the gear wearable. Here is another LINK that I found that you should look at before installing the latest beta leaks.

A little search would have helped you out here.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-8/help/update-to-pie-announced-t3881335
I've installed N950USQU5DRL7 and both my Gear S2 watch and my Gear VR are working without any problems. So far so good. I changed my theme back to default theme to set the night mode for dark ui and it's working. I'll update this thread if I find any problems.

You just need to make sure you hold the buttons down securely so they don't come up a little bit and it's a lot harder to keep them held down with a case on the phone.. You need to hold all 3 buttons for up to 2 minutes sometimes and if you don't that's why you get stuck in a boot loop..

I just remembered something.. If it ever does that to you again open a command prompt or terminal and send the reboot recovery through ADB. I know you know how to use adb but to those of you who don't know just type "adb shell reboot recovery" without the quotes obviously and wait for the phone to do it.. It may work and it may not..
Well, might have to see if it does................I know CRK1 was the update for December, isn't there a newer one for Oreo for January?
Im aware that the one ui android pie update will be dropping soon but im interested in trying this method for testing it before the official release. My question is are you all using sprint carrier locked devices or unlocked devices?
Currently on version 8.1.0 at patch level Nov 5 2018.
Any idea how to resolve ?
Is it possible they removed the update from the server?

Hi!, I have the same problem here. I got yesterday my mi a2 and can't update to android pie, I'm in the same patch that you are.
hi the same thing has happened with me. received my red mia2 4/64 today but with 8.1 and nov 5 2018 security patch. i am on a strong wifi network but still no updates visible. tried flashing recent rom from mi website but i get the error flash error mismatching image and device.
i am out of ideas now.
Intersting to point out, that about a month ago we bought another MI A2 from same dealer (different color) and it was already running version 9 and not 8.1.

simply download the files from given link. they are edited bat and sh files to fix mismatch error which you might receive as i did while flashing the stock image.
i faced a similar situation today. mi mia2 red didn't receive any update since 8.1 nov 5 2018. so had to flash stock rom.

experience this yesterday, probably this corresponds in Xiaomi server. Maybe they take down the patch after November 2018. You can download the official stock Pie version at MIUI website.
Updaing to PIE was successfull.
Used this guide to unlock bootloader: https://www.androidexplained.com/mi-...ck-bootloader/
Then used the MI FLASH tool to apply the stock rom. First atemp failed with "write error" after 55 seconds, but I tried a second time and this time the process completed.

I have the same issue with OTA updates. I went back to stock (V10.0.8.0.PDIMIXM) from that thread:

Ok, I updated using this file: https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.13....0.PDIMIXM_20190807.0000.00_9.0_9083804c9e.tgz
And this tool: download.appmifile.com/images/2019/07/01/09cdc3a7-5a11-42aa-81f4-be27fe12ce80.msi
Unlocked the bootloader with "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
After the update (I have no error using the process) I received an OTA security update from setember 5, 2019 that installed without problem too.
How can I remove the October update on my phone or fix? I install and the phone does not turn on :crying::crying::crying:

I had the same problem, i fixed it by just connecting the device to my laptop using the usb cable.Just restart it once to twice and it worked.
Now when it boots up it says that the update has failed, but when i again update the phone, it shuts down the phone at next login, but when i restart the device again the device was updated to october verson

Wow, that's weird, but it can't be Xiaomi fault, cause the OTA is ok and working fine

i disagree. they are at fault. no ota should brick stock phones. ever. this has happend before on other phones too (mi 9se being the latest one i've seen). some users would update properly and some would just end up with nice and expensive paperweights. via ota. if i was a betting man, i would assume this is related to the version of the bootloader on the phone. and sometime they miss something on the ota update. causing certain versions of the bootloaders to reject the update. but i dont have any expertise here, im just an average joe with a phone that failed an OTA miserably. perhaps just restarting it a couple of times also is enough, but i resurrected mine with the fastboot continue i had found earlier.

I can understand but, if my untouched phone just got an OTA and successfully installed it, the update should be ok, idk why some phones have this type of problem but it's not normal, maybe an old mod? A restored partition after a ROM install? Idk, but i can say that: the OTA is ok on my stock phone, the problem should be something else...

My phone has never been cleaned and modified, September 2019 and other work, but this update brick my phone.

nope... nothing new interesting/installed since the previous sept ota. never unlocked, never restored, never rooted it. it is/was plain stock...
Then retry the update, take a backup First, if the OTA brick the phone again ask for a complete refund
Same here, completely stock. Turned off after the Android One screen, restarted and booted again but with an Update Failed notification. Tried it a second time, same thing. First time I have issues with an OTA so far.
My phone is Global Version, I inform if the brick is in this model

It doesn't have 2 years of warranty? Btw mine Is Global too, i think(?), it's from Germany
Those who "soft-bricked with OTA" : Just keep trying to reboot many times with external power on and pauses. Sooner or later phone is to reboot to now (after OTA) inactive slot (read about A/B structure if you do not know what i mean) with the previous bootable version (10.0.14.0 ? or any which was there before OTA), - as such behavior is specified in AndroidOne requirements.

yep you're right 2 years indeed! gonna have fun with the seller )
yep they're all global, there was never a mi a2 for china ( that one is the mi 6x). there is a version for india but i doubt it was ever sold outside india since it has fewer lte bands.
