Kies Wont Connect After Update

Hi
Just updated my Tab after Kies informed me that there was a new version, but after the update, Kies is bluntly refusing to connect to the tab. Just says 'Connecting...' forever.
I'm guessing that Samsung has stupidly managed to update the firmware in the device to a version that Kies cannot talk to.
Anyone else have this issue. Until I get it resolved there will be no further updates on my GT.
The build no post update is: FROYO.XWJJ3
I've done all the usual things: restart pc, restart tab, reinstall kies, install kies on fresh machine, blah, none of which have helped.
Any idea's?
Interestingly, post update, the only thing that I see thats different is that Samsung has installed 'The Dark Knight' and 'Clash of the Titans' trailers on my tab (now deleted). Those two files make up the lions share of the 'update' that I downloaded. Cheeky blighters. 'Sky News' and Whsmiths 'eBooks' apps have also appears - very very cheeky - enough rubbish on the tab beforehand without Samsung adding more. The new 'Apps' cant be deleted either...

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.

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.

android update question

Guys if there is an update for the 8.9 can you simply update over the air on wifi or do you have to update via a pc download?
Not checked my firmware version yet but suspect its not the latest version of honeycomb.
Ta.

I've only updated via PC i.e. using Kies but the option is there in settings.

just go to Settings > About device and hit Software update. you must have a google account and a samsung account and a working wifi connection. that's it

Thanks.
80% through my update now.
So easy only take few mins. :-D

Google Play Services not working

Hey,
I bought a Nokia 7 Plus TA-1062 from China. After it arrived I installed the global android version using the instructions provider here. I then side loaded a 8.1.0 version with Security path from 1st of August. The phone is functioning fine in terms of ability to browse web/take calls/use camera/etc. - HOWEVER - during any of these updates I wasn't able to use any of Google's services (Play Store/Cloud login/Updates). It's just stuck on 'Checking info...' and sometimes notifies it wasn't able to connect.
When I look at the Google Play Services logs (using the *#*#426#*#* code) I see that the connection is failing constantly. I've tried reseting the cache/data of all related apps and the phone itself without help.
Anyone knows how to solve this? Why are the Google Play Services not working?

I am also the Chinese version of Nokia 7plus, also found this problem, the message can not be pushed!

flashing gapps would solve the problem if you have a recovery installed, but since we cannot unlock our bootloader, you're ****ed

Thanks for replying - I'm new to all this and would like to learn more -
1. What does it mean to have "recovery installed"? I'm able to enter the recovery console on boot via the power button+up volume key trick (that's how I sideloaded the 8.1 version), I'm guessing that's not it?
2. What does it mean to unlock the bootloader? how do you know if your bootloader is locked or not?
3. and probably most important - how do you flash gapps?? That's something that I'd like to try, maybe my phone is already unlocked by some sheer luck (doubt it since it came in a sealed box)

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.
