[Q] android update

hi,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S I9000,
I never updated the system.
my Firmware version is 2.2
I was told that when you update the system it erases all the info on the phone, is it true?
I would like to know what is the latest firmware version for SGS and how do I update the phone. I believe there is already a page with instructions but I couldn't find the right one for me.
Thanks

hi
hey there
good to hear you wanna update ! the newest version depends on where ur from bro , the latest official firmware in the east is the value pack 2.3.7 update
if you haven't customized or rooted ans can update via kies software your sd card data will remain intact. any form of android system data like notes and contacts will be erased .
make necessary backups of contacts notes etc . backup available via kies .
plug in the phone and it will prompt you with update available .
flash after taking backups

[Q] error flash rom Global LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic World

I upgraded THROUGH FlashTool Global LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic World.ftf without problems, the problem arose when I wanted to update with a backup I had done, and I could, to loop, after making several inquiries, rom now only supports me 327 m., and yaff that I have several backups before this update are higher than 340 m ..
I made a downgrade to version LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic Global World.ftf, but it could not get the old backups.
if one uses the titanium backup or similar rom can watch how much memory is full, not free.
And if anyone knows who is going and knows how to fix it, would all help.
A greeting mohoram.

Sim card issues after 7.1.1 update

Hey,
Just got a OnePlus 3T (Midnight Black) for my wife and wanted to get it rooted and updated to 7.1.1 as soon as I got it. I followed TK's suggestion on his video on using Opera VPN to change my region to Canada and got the update on the first try. After all was said and done I put my wife's sim card to start using the device and the 3T will not allow me to send phone calls, texts, or use data unless connected to Wi-Fi. I wasted a lot of time with AT&T thinking it was the sim card that was the issues but the device does receive text messages and calls so I am lost. The community on the OnePlus website has others who have issues after updating also to where their devices don't recognize the sim card(s) but they all seem pretty lost on any fixes to the issue. Anyone else have something similar or any solutions? Thanks in advance for anything positive.

No, I don't face this type of issue Sorry

After the 7.1.1 update, did you do a factory restore to make sure no data structures for the old ROM/apps is in place that could cause issues like this? In other words format the data partition.

I've always had an issue having the SIM card show up. I have to eject and reinsert the SIM slot after a reboot with the phone still on.

SIM issues after update seem to be a known problem on this phone, according to the following post. Either do a clean install of the full OTA, or do factory reset (somewhat obvious, backup any data you want to keep before doing either):

I did do a factory reset, one from settings and then two others from TWRP. I thought about it some more and since the 3T is so close to stock Android I remembered what another member suggested as far as flashing a previous version of the OS (like one would do with a Nexus device). I flashed the OnePlus 3T 7.0 version and it's working now for my wife. I downloaded the update straight from the OnePlus website. I do miss the features 7.1.1 brought but I guess I need to wait for OnePlus to iron out the bugs. Thanks all for the suggestions! Much respect to the XDA community.

Unless you do like me, and run latest Lineage OS (Cyanogenmod), then you'll get 7.1.1 and working dual SIM. ?

MIUI with Android 10

Hi, I was reading that a lot of people are receiving the Android 10 software update on their phones. I want to know if it still on Beta or if there is a stable relase. I have my mi 9 lite with MIUI 11.3.4.0 with Android 9. When I could get the Android 10 version?

Hey, i got the update recently but not through OTA. I choosed to install it my way with twrp.
You can do the same.
I'm actually on a EU Android Q rom update and have to say that everything is running the way it should actually.
But i'm not also an intensive user. So I can't tell if you will not encounter any bug.
Afaik it's stable enough at least for my daily use.

If you want android 10 download the update manually and install it through updater app. I suggest to wait for the release when it be on the official site. android 10 is still drains battery much more than android 9. Here is the recovery update: https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.1.0.QFCMIXM/miui_PYXISGlobal_V11.0.1.0.QFCMIXM_212c62202d_10.0.zip

I installed Android 10 OTA but now a few apps that worked on Android 9 isn't working. Or are very slooow.
I.E. stock camera. When I take picture, nothing happened. It didn't took the picture or saved it.
Five minutes later i tried again and then photos showed up when I opened cam again.
ES explorer is very slow.
Parallel space keeps crashing.
And the worst of all...ADS. MSA is off, recomended aps also and Xiaomi apps and browser full of ads. I have installed blokada and DNS 66.
I got WhatsApp video call and the phone didn't ring, no notification. I saw missed call when I opened WhatsApp chat.
Any advice/help?
I don't think that this is stable release.

I've already received the update via OTA and installed it. I didn't want to put my phone in risk by forcing an update

Congarts. But be sure that downloading update and use updater app to update the downloaded file ain't risky at all, cos If it's not official the updater app won't accept it.

Is your x1 ii rooted? Can you roll back to Android 10?

Not rooted, was thinking of flashing bk the official Sony Xperia 1 II Android 10 ROM, but think this shouldn't be normal as Android 11 shouldn't be that laggy?

Because I read so many shortcomings after updated to andoird 11, I rather stay at andoird 10 rooted for the time being. And I have doubts flashing rooted 10 to 11 without losing data and apps.

That's my other concern, I want to roll bk to Android 10 without wiping

Anybody got any ideas?

If you can't rollback due to rollback protection you could try my new script to make your Android 10+ system read-write-able and then carefully remove all the unnecessary bloatware to make your device run smoother.
I'm curious if the script also works on next generation Sony devices. Does your new Sony device have a super partition? Does it have fastboot? Then you're in luck.
With my new script you get full read write access to all partitions on your device. Then you can easily delete these annoying bloatware apps from your internal hard drive. Problem solved.
Always make a backup before you permanently delete a system app! You never know which one is going to cause a bootloop!

I have similar experience. But funny stuff is that it happens every 2nd restart. 1restart - phone is laggy, another restart - phone is ok, and its happening almost always.
