I had the same problem with my T-1004,
Tried OST but didn't work.
Then I gave a try to ntool, and it flashed. I am able to get security updates now.

ok my way was use ost tool 6.04( tutorial you can find here in nokia 8 forum).
unlock critical is needed! flash latest nbo and reboot, now you can update till oktober, bootloader lock or relock isn't needed!

Try method.
Use ost 6.0.4 tool and flash firmware v488b nb04
Download update "may security (about 1.x gb) " then copy to sd card .
Boot to recovey, update via sd card and choose file update u already download.
After that ur phone will get update normally

I have solved it. My Smartphone was unrooted but not unrooted critical. After i use fastboot oem lock_critical i can Update via OST ! Problem Solved !

This is the reason most guys had. They didn't unlock critical.

Nokia 7 plus ta-1055 firmware request & questions

Hi there,
I have a TA-1055 which is the WW 4gb RAM single-sim version, mostly sold in UK and Italy (?)
I bricked it flashing twrp uncorrectly then I wanted to download an original firmware, but versions available online are just for TA-1046 and TA-1062.
Since the 1062 is 6gb RAM, I think I'd have to go for the 1046, would it work anyway on the 1055?
I honestly don't think so, that's why I'm desperately searching for the proper firmware.
Any help/suggestion?
Thanks guys,
always the bests!

1055,1046 and NonChinese(with AndroidOne logo on back) 1062 have same OTA FW
only chinese(without AndroidOne logo on back) version of 1062 have diferent

According to this manual, I installed Android 9.0 of my TA-1055.
Everything was OK

I got the October security update over OTA!!

Do you remember which security patch you were on before you flashed twrp? And were you on pie or Oreo?
I have the stock boot images for most of the firmware and security patch updates, so I can provide you help, I believe. One of my friends has a ta-1055 single sim and my boot.img worked for him

Haha consider as your friend. First rename it to .rar and then extract it. I had to do this in order to bypass attachment size limit

Hello,
i'm not an expert in this but will provide info from what i have gazed from you post, are you currently on WW rom or CN Rom, i'm guessing you bought Tencent version with CN Rom. The asus support web page is providing boot-loader unlock & Firmware imgs, but can only be used to convert from WW=>WW or CN=>CN Rom as written in more information.
once you unlock you bootloader you have to re-lock to get OTA updates, you can get more info in ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion.
Hope this helps.
ZS660KL software Image：WW_V16.0622.1907.33 for WW only*
Improved Item:
1. Added three ROG live wallpapers
2. Light Luminous Core theme supports live wallpaper effect
3. Fixed the issue where occasionally can not turn on WiFi hotspot
Steps of Update:
1. Check software version of your device**
2. Download device software and Update SOP (From “Manual” Item)
3. Only apply to same SKU update, Example: WW->WW, CN->CN, TW->TW.
4. Software update cannot transfer the software SKU and downgrade the software version.
5. Wrong SKU may cause update failure, please update the same SKU version only.

Tencent 8/128, yes.
I have a WW out of the box, but bc SafetyNet is fails on first boot and after a fdr, it is believed that the seller flashed WW over CN.
My concern was that I didn't want to update with the updated WW if I have to keep re installing or restoring apps, or if I had to jump through hoops each time I'm now looking to see how I can prove that the phone was reflashed to WW by the seller so I can return it. I need banking and Google pay to work. SafetyNet and OTA is important to me. I'm likely to contact Asus China for proof in how my serial/IMEI was flashed at the factory.

No FOTA updates after re-locking the bootloader (offline method)

Long ago, I unlocked my bootloader using EDL mode (offline mode) to preserve warranty. Even after unlocking the bootloader, I still received FOTA updates, but the updates just didn't get installed properly and showed an error.
I recently re-locked my bootloader using the same EDL offline method and it was locked successfully, but suddenly I'm not able to receive FOTA updates. It says I'm at the latest version, while I'm on Android 9 1910.64 (latest is A10 2004.60 at this time)
Edit: The ROM variant is WW. I never changed it to CN. Phone was shipped with WW and has remained that way ever since (Indian version btw)
Does this mean ASUS has identified the changed state of my bootloader? Or do I have to make some changes in my phone? I've tried factory resetting, flashing RAW 1910.64 twice, and still no luck. (But I'm not sure if the ROM is flashed on both slots)
I need this warranty because I'm about to send the phone for repair. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Well this only a guess but... Is it a Tencent version that was running CN rom, which then was converted to WW? My guess is that, if it is currently on WW still, you won't get OTA's until its back to its original state ie on a CN rom...
Perhaps!

Oh I totally forgot to include it sorry. This is a proper WW phone, shipped with WW ROM (Indian version). No links with CN version.

Do correct me if I am wrong, but at least in the USA, the carrier has to push out OTA updates to your phone. So if you have a less well known android, such as the ROG 2, you won't get *any* updates as it is inconvenient for the carrier to make them available. Only google's phones get updates direct, and are still subject to carriers delaying release for...reasons.

hi buddy. we are on the same page. after .64, for some reason i also didnt get the android 10 ota. the solution i see is that you download the full firmware from asus website and update manually. once on a10, youll recieve otas.
weird thing thou, i recently tried unlocking via official app, but im getting errors.

Can't downgrade from Android 10 beta to Android 9

Hello,
In order to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM, I need to downgrade from Android 10 beta to Android 9, since the latest beta doesn't work with the official ASUS unlock APK.
Problem is, when I try to flash the Android 9 image, I get the same error whether I try with adb or with the internal tool.
The message I get is 'This package is for "WW_Phone" devices. This is a "" '. Error status is 7.
My phone is neither unlocked nor rooted, so I don't get how it's not recognized.
Any help?

Auto-solved
FYI, if you try to downgrade with the android P image found on the asus website, it won't work.
You have to download the image with file name starting with Q_P_UL...

we"re facing the same problem i can't downgrade my phone i forgot to unlock bootloader first. please help

You don't need to unlock the boooader for a simple downgrade. If it's still locked dowoad the image starting with Q_P... then put it in your phone's root folder.

can you please give me a download link for the Q_P_UL file tho
