[Q] Problem with firmware uprade - test-keys ?

Hey everyone, first post here.
I recently bought a NEW HTC Dream off eBay. After receiving it, i tested out with my sim card, and found out that it does indeed work with my network (3 Australia), and everything else functions as normal (google sync, sms, internet).
However, i know that the firmware is 1.1, and i want to upgrade it. After trying to "Check for updates" in the normal settings, an error occurs and force closes the settings, not allowing me to upgrade.
I checked the info, and this is what it is (see text file attached as i cannot post "links")
the phone IS "T Mobile" branded, yet it works with all of my settings in Australia, except for the upgrade.
I tried to download 1.5 various times, and tried to upgrade manually, but it will not work.
My question - what is going on, why can't i upgrade to the latest firmware ??
Thanks everyone in advance

please guys, need help !

From nodo to mango update , how to ?

Dones anyone has step by step tutorial how to update omnia 7 from nodo to beta2 mango ? thx in advance

I'm intersted as well what to do exactly.

This is what i did,
1. Flash you phone with Samsung Omnia 7 Firmware XXJL3 RETAIL UNITED KINGDOM. you should have v7004 installed.
2. Plug phone in to PC and check for updates with Zune, it should say that the Feb update is available, install this update. (if you have problems installing this, make sure your USB cable is connected to a USB port that is physically on the motherboard and try again)
3. Check for updates again, this should say that the NODO update is available, install this update.
4. Follow the instruction on THIS site to get the mango updates.
NOTE: When i tried this with the KC1 firmware, my phone would get stuck in a reboot loop when going through the instructions in step 4, i had no problems with JL3 firmware.

Anyone had any problems with Mango yet? Crashing, laggy, etc?
I'm curious, do most apps work with Mango? Or will they all disappear/fail to open once I update. Also, does this process/"restore.bat" delete data ie. game saves?
I'm interested in updating to Mango, but not at the cost of lost apps/saves either during the update or restore.

I have no crashes at all with mango, the OS is a a lot more responsive overall.
I have only brought one app on my Omnia, all i needed to do was go in to the marketplace and redownload and install it again.

Thanks for the instructions Duck!
I followed them to a 'T' (minus the firmware updates, my phone was bought unlocked and unbranded) and it worked great! All my game saves, apps, etc. were there and Mango runs smooth as silk!
The only downside (and the link mentioned this) was that Zune does not sync with my phone anymore. It requires and 'update' and once you try and get that update Zune errors ('Cannot find update file: blah blah'). So it looks like this currently Mango build prevents Zune syncing (although wifi might still work, I'll have to test it).

Download the Beta version of Zune HERE.

Awesome, that worked great! Where do you find this stuff?! Hah, thanks again.

I always get the timeout when it is restarting for the first time.

Edit: Suspending the process and deleting the unneeded files worked for me.

Can you explain wait you did, please?
I'm stuck on "Restarting your phone...".
The phone reboots, waits on backup/download mode (bw image of phone linked to PC) and nothing else happens till .cmd gives a time out.

[Q] Skype, Tango, Internet Sharing

I have changed several ROMs for my HD7. I played with developer unlocked phone etc... However I decided to return to the "original" ROM, and update phone "regularly" with Zune.
At the moment I have:
OS Version - 7.10.8107.79
Firmware revision number - 2250.09.15401.401
I have problem with tethering (i just don't have "internet sharing" option). I'm guessing I haven't received HD7 firmware update?
This was not such a big problem, however I also have trouble with Tango(app) and Skype. I cannot make them work...
Does anyone have any idea?

[Q] Updated my Sam Ativ S to 8.1 and phone reboots constantly

Hi guys, i just updated my Samsung Ativ S today to the WP 8.1, and everything seems to work "fine".
EXCEPT that as soon as I turn off the phone and turn back on, it keeps on for like 20 seconds, sets to flight mode, and reboots. And it keeps doing it over and over again, it won't stop rebooting. I have tried to reset the phone configurations, but it resets again to WP 8.1, and I keep getting this bug everytime I turn the power off. Is there any way to reset it to the oldest firmware(8.0...)? Anyone else experiencing this?

1) hard reset your phone
2) after the configuration of Microsoft account, don't use backup, choose config everything again.
3) If you want to use cortana, choose english and United states for country, speech, display language etc.

Ativ S - Tim Sul - Rebooting Constantly
Dear,
After update my Ativ S, I'm experiencing the same problems discussed by CamilaRamos. I have done the Hard Reset and restarted the WP 8.1 without considering my MS Account. However, after I have inserted the Sim Card, the same problem start to occur again.
Thanks in advance,

I have samsung ativ s and after update 8.1 it is rebooting of one to one minutes.
All app are installed in internal memory, I don't use memory card.
I did many things, but nothing resolved my problem.
I wait that the Microsoft is looking to solve this, because I can't come back to GDR3 and need my phone for my job everyday.

If hard reset doesn't work, follow this steps::
1) reflash the Samsung ativ s rom (Windows phone 8.0 GDR3), following this step by step: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391138
2) The rom and CSC you can download here: http://tweaksparadise.com/download/anaheiim/?action=list&folder=7836
3) After reflash the Windows phone 8 GDR3 rom, reinstall the preview for developers and search again for updates, your phone will update again to Windows phone 8.1.
4) this will solve all issues.

I'll try this. I checked my CSC by the diagnosis app and it's ZTOALL3, but I only found ZTO for download. Is there any problem using this one?

No, no problem

So, I managed to reset my phone back to gdr3 with that tutorial using ZTO csc, but now I have to manually set the APN information to get my 3G connected, and as soon as i reboot the phone, it will erase those configs and I have to set it up again. Is there any way to save it undefinetly, or can I set my csc to ATO and how would I do it, or would it make any difference here?

I can tell you my story. I also updated my Br-Ativ S (pun intended) to 8.1, coming from a manually flashed GDR3. I had to hard reset the phone in order to start over and correct some bugs, including the one you described. I had a similar issue using the wrong GDR3 rom found on the intarweb.
Good luck!

Huawei P9 attempted upgrade "the update package does not exist"

Hi all,
How are you?
I have spent soooo many hours trying to upgrade my new old stock Huawei P9 EVA-L09, its driving me absolutely crazy. When I bought it, like an idiot, I didn't check the Android Version, which I discovered was 6. So, I did oodles of research, gathered the right tools, downloaded the suggested updates and started.
I successfully upgraded to the latest android 6 (L09C432B210), but I tried many versions of Android 7, but to no avail. I eventually found a version of Android 7 called 'L09C432B322' that worked, but when I checked it says 'NRD90M test-keys', which is EMUI 5, Android 7; it is a fully functioning version of Android 7 but it is a pre-release version I believe, and neither the 'Files' option nor the 'Update' option are available on it, which is a pain. I have now tried a total of 23 different update versions, but no success, and with exactly the same issue with the update process, saying that it cannot update using that version (not precise wording!).
A couple of days ago I accidentally ended up on the phone update screen, the one with the big circle, while I was trying to get in to TWRP (fat fingers...). It sat there for an age doing absolutely nothing (aside from the circle spinning), not even failing, and I didnt even have an update file in 'dload' on my SD Card (not that I'm aware of), so I pressed the power button and shut it off. Now when I try to update, using either update.app via manual update or update.zip via HWOYA7, any update at all tbh, even old ones that I know failed but at least the update file was seen by the phone & process, it tells me the install failed and 'the update package does not exist'. I thought it may be a file extension association issue in Windows 10 (not sure how, just clutching at straws), so I reset the associations to Windows default, but that did not work. At around about the same time of the update issue starting, I couldn't say for sure when as I wasn't paying enough attention, I started using the HWOTA7 tool, which too gave the same result of 'the update package does not exist'.
Did HWOTA7 cause this? Did I cause this inadvertantly? Has a broken update.app caused this? I simply do not know and am hoping one of you fine people may be able to help me. Is the process looking in a different place to where either HWOTA7 puts the file (not changed from default) or where I put the file (SD Card 'dload')?
The reason I'm trying to update is because Android 7 is no longer supported by Google and one by one apps are disappearing from Google Play, so I'd like to update to Android 8 (Oreo). There lays another fine issue as I cannot find a version of it anywhere, not since Huawei removed the updates from its site a couple of years back. Not that any update will work of course...
I've never known a phone to be so difficult to get the correct software for and to ultimately upgrade. I even managed to update an LG G5 around 2 years ago when there were no official updates, but this Huawei P9 is just silly...
I think the update process should be this, update to the latest possible Android 6 then 7 for the P9, rebrand to the AL10 and, update to the chinese Oreo and then overlay the Kirin fix (I think); is that correct?
Thanks folks.
Paul.

Hey @vorlockfoss can you send me the B322 that you have found in order to update from B210 Marshmallow to Nougat?
Huawei's firmware servers were taken down only last quarter of 2020 so october/november/december 2020 around those months.

Hi W00fer,
How are you?
B322 is the version I downgraded from, back to C900B300. If you have B210 then you'll need B386;
HWOTA.zip | by Tecalote for P9
there are instructions in the folder. It includes the full firmware for EVA-L09 C432 B386 - for update from Android 6 to Android 7. For example from b182 or b210 to b386.
androidfilehost.com
I've responded more completely to your other message, so if you need further advice it may be better to reply there and I'll do what I can to help. I will update this thread after we've finished, just to keep it tidy.
Thanks,
Paul.
