Firmware version / update help - P8 Lite (2017) Discussion

So Feeling a bit thick atm.
I just bought 2 of these from Carphone Warehouse in UK yesterday for my kids birthday. They are both Sim Free unlocked, one is blue and one is black
However they are both on different firmwares ... the Blue one is on B179 and the Black one is on B115 ... also looks like the colour temperature defaults are different on the different phones.
Checking for updates reveals there are none available for either of them. If I understand this forum correctly I shouldn't expect to see any OTA updates being available since the only ones available in the UK are the ones for the Vodaphone locked versions ... is that correct ?
Am I right in saying I should be able to install the Firmware finder, select the B179 build, run the check with imei, start in app proxy, configure the proxy settings in the wifi and then follow the normal OTA update process from B115 to B179 ?
The reason I ask is because I tried these steps this morning and it failed with a checksum error. Did I do something wrong ?
Or would it be simpler to go back to Carphone Warehouse and ask for a new device ?

Managed to get it to go further trying B125 but I stopped watching and when I came back it had rebooted and was still running B115.

Talking to myself here ... finally got them both updated with a B191 build.

I would appreciate it too.

I don't think I did anything special that isn't documented else where on this forum, the trick was finding a firmware that worked.
But for reference :
* Install Firmware Finder on each phone went to settings and enabled the "Show Packages for current region" and "use simple firmware list".
* Go down the list of firmwares checking the availability with IMEI. (I only tried the ones that said FullOTA-MF and I believe the one I got to work was the on that was 105838 but I'm not 100% sure on that)
* Find one that that says "Firmware approved for installation models for installation: PRA-LX1C432B191" NB there were a couple that said PRA-L31-hw-euRA-LX1C432Bxxx as well but the B125 version I tried said that and failed to install.
* Press the in app proxy button
* Goto phones wifi settings, long press the network you are connected to and modify the settings -> set proxy to localhost port 8080.
* Go to the phones settings -> update firmware page and update as normal.
Extra credit step :
* Once the download has started hit pause then go back to your network settings remove the proxy and then resume the update download. (this was due to reports I'd seen of troubles downloading via the proxy and one attempt I'd made that ended in failure due to a checksum error which is basically a download fail)

Do you have dual SIM?

Not a clue ... never going to use that function ... these were just as cheap as I could find (but decent and from a reasonably well known brand) smartphones for my kids

I updated to b193 now my battery is crap

[Q] Ativ-S - DP - Still on old firmware?

Hi,
Device is Ativ-S i8750 bought through Handtec. Operating on GiffGaff UK PAYG.
OS 8.10.14203.306
FW: 2424.13.10.1
CSC : XEF
I've searched around and found a little info about the problems with my camera since installing the 8.1 update through developer preview. Apparently it's fixed in firmware update 2424.14.9.3 which came out around October last year.
While my phone has picked up OS update, I don't seem to have picked up any firmware updates four months down the line.
I've have searched to find out what to do next but I am a bit stuck and unsure what to do next. So hope this community can help. Is there anything I should be doing to get this update other than just waiting?
Thanks!

rather annoyingly the only way I got it was to flash back to GDR2 and work upwards. Royal pain in the arse if im honest but I got there in the end, I believe it was disabled in some of the CSC images that were flashed because upgrading to it also disables some of the ability to unlock the device. As much as I liked the idea of it being unlocked I didn't make any real use of it so decided to bite the bullet and flash it back an upgrade, several hours later, back on DP with a working camera and a more stable Bluetooth stack!

Thanks for the reply, man. Sorry for my slow response.
I was hoping there was another way around this. Thanks anyway!
Is there a total n00bs guide to flashing an Ativ-S back to GDR2?
EDIT : I found this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391138&page=11 - but looks like the ROMs are no longer up
I have the same problem, but am still on firmware 2212.13.11.2 (and hardware 15.3.1.0, bootloader 13.08.14.16). Phone is a SGH-T899M by the way. Because of PfD my OS is 8.10.14203.306, which is recent. Disabling PfD doesn't make my phone upgrade the firmware, nor did it when my OS was a few months older.
It might be that in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...aylors-super-rom-tool-dump-sgh-t899m-t3037789) the solution can be found to downgrade but there's a bit too little step-for-step instructions for me to do it. If someone can give them to me (or a different solution to force my phone to upgrade firmware), then I'd be thankful!
EDIT: in the ATIV SE (thanks to the author) thread there's a how-to 'hidden' in the download. It goes as follows:
1. If you have not done so already, extract the .zip file that this is contained in and ensure that you are working from the unzipped folder
2. Install SamsungUSBDriver.msi and restart
1b. If you have Windows 8.1 x64 you need to disable driver signature verification first:
http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
3. Extract the file SM-W750V_VRU0ANC2_R_signed_2.zip
4. Power off device (and leave it unplugged)
5. Open the file WP8_Binary_Downloader_Ver._3.54.exe
6. Click the yellow/orange folder and Open the file SM-W750V VRU0ANC2_R_signed.wp8
7. Click the green folder and Open the file SM-W750V_VRU0ANC2_R.csc
8. Boot into Download Mode (hold Vol. Up and Home buttons while device is powering on)
9. Plug in your phone
10. If it shows up in the Channel Information section and does not report an error, you are ready
11. Last chance to consider saving your data
12. Press start
13. Wait until it has completely finished and your phone has rebooted
14. Skip through initial setup, go to Settings > about, and reset your phone once before using it
15. Enjoy stock!
I guess this should be the same for other phones, but you have to exchange the file with the file for your phone as given in the taylors-super-rom-tool-dump thread. Ofcourse, no guarantees, this is what seems logical with my limited knowledge
Hi Guys,
Just to let you know - I managed to flashed with GDR2 - file GTi8750-OXABME1_R.
It wouldn't update to 8.1 until I changed CSC from XEF to ATO, then it picked up the new firmware and 8.1. It just finished installing a few moments ago.
So I am now on :
Software: Windows Phone 8.1 Update
OS version: 8.10.14157.200
Firmware: 2424.14.9.3
I have tried checking for more updates and now I am getting error 80072f8f, which apparently it time related, even though time is correct. Same after a reboot. So not sure if I'll get any futher updates till I can work around this.
How far am I off the most current OS version for ATIV?
EDIT : Took a punt that it was the CSC that was causing the time problem. So switched CSC to BTU (which apparently is UK. British Telecom maybe?) - and it's now saying it's downloading updates!! \o/
EDIT : The phone reinstalled, did the gears. But OS version is unchanged. I do however have a newer firmware still: Firmware revision number: 2424.15.3.2

Used P9 - Missing Stock Apps

Hello everyone!
I just bought an used P9 (EVA-L19) in pristine condition. It arrived with the nougat update but it is missing all Huawei apps. I don't think I really mind not having those (less bloat, hurray!), but I really want at least the camera app! What should I try? This thing is full stock (unrooted), and I'd rather keep it that way... Should I just flash the full stock firmware? HiSuite claims my phone is up to date, but I've got no idea how to check what build my current firmware is.
Thanks!
Oooh... the build seems to be NRD90M "test-keys", which appears to be an old beta build from my googling. Do I have to go back to MM and then upgrade to Nougat? Hopefully I can do all that without a custom recovery...
You have an intermediate firmware.
Search here the B378 for C432 if you want the european version (wich is working fine; some other last updates may have some problems - for example, with B383 me and others have problems with the battery).
Where are you from ??

I'm from Brazil, but I know for a fact this phone isn't brazilian. It comes with a bunch of stuff written in spanish rather than portuguese, and a warranty certificate citing a bunch of spanish-spekaing latin american countries. I'm browsing through the forums and trying to find out what is my Cust yet. But thanks for the response.
Also, if I have to flash something, is it better to stick with Nougat or is Marshmallow more hassle-free?
(I've attached a screenshot of the status screen from Huawei P9 Tool, this is all the data I could gather so far)
I can't read the screenshot ...
On the "About the phone - Version number" what do you have ??
For example, mine has EVA-L19C432B378, where:
-EVA-L19 is the phone model (P9 dual sim);
-C432 is the european version;
-B378 is the firmware version.
Also, you can read that thread too ... https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/how-to-downgrade-nrd90m-to-marshmallow-t3541400

All it says on "Version number" is "NRD90M test-keys". I've read that thread, but to downgrade you need a ROM, and without knowing my Cust ID I'm not sure which ROM I should get.
The screenshot shows my serial number (XVV7N16425001010), the model (EVA-L19 - Dual Sim 32GB Rom 3GB RAM) and a weird build string (eng.jenkin.20161230.130431)

Dual SIM EVA-L19 - No idea if I've got NFC or not. Can't find anything NFC-related on the menus, but it might be that I do not know where to look. Long time Windows Phone user here, just migrated back to Android :laugh:

It does have dual SIM, and is the EVA-L19. So no NFC then. Does it help? I'm currently looking for debranding guides because I can't find what branding this phone originally had.
Oooh well... so far:
1- *#*#2846579#*#* doesn't work (nothing happens), can't enable Manufacturer mode for DC Unlocker
2- The HUAWEI EMUI site doesn't give me a bootloader unlock code, so can't unlock the bootloader with the official method
So, so far, I can't install TWRP, so I can't flash a C432 oeminfo.bin
Also, the Rollback instructions at https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/rollback-eva-l19-android-7-0-emui-5-0-t3496091 fail, as the rollback intermediate firmware just fails at 5% claiming to be incompatible with my device.
Aside from blindly trying to flash random firmwares with the three button method, do you guys have ANY ideas at all? I need a rest, just wasted the whole day trying to get this damned thing fixed
Sad thing: even with a borked firmware install this is still orders of magnitude better than my old Lumia 930.
EDIT: GODDAMMIT, BLUETOOTH ALSO DOESN'T WORK!

I'll give the instructions of the first post a try, though they did not work for the OP.
EDIT: AAAAAND the 800mb file is downloading at 28kbps... this won't be fun
I'm not sure if it would've been better to edit the last post or add a new one, so if this is agains the rules (I've read them and couldn't find it), please inform me and I'll change things accordingly... buuuut.... IT WORKED.
The OP on the topic absynte pointed out never really posted the outcome of his issue and it looked like he never got it to work, so here is what I did:
Flashed the zip file
I flashed the zip file linked in this post through starting up with vol up + vol down + power. Exactly like the guy over there it did not solve my issue, but did uncover I had exactly the same build as him (EVA-L19C185B361 - Middle East / Asia)
Flashed the intermediate firmware
I download the correct intermediate firmware (C185B300) from here and flashed the same way. The *#*#... menu did not work (as in the menu itself didn't show up)
Flashed a MM build
I downloaded and flashed C185B180 for whatever reason (could've gone with tha latest MM build right away AFAIK). Worked great, all stock apps were there and so was bluetooth
Let the phone update itself through OTA
It updated itself to B210 (or B220, don't remember well) and then B385. Seems to be working fine, but I haven't given the battery a fair chance (constantly flashing and updating stuff) to judge its performance.
Thanks everyone for the help!

Can't Update System Software

I just got brand new Xperia X Performance that came with 6.0.1, and I'm trying to figure out why I can update it. It's unlocked but not rooted, basically right from the factory as far as I know.
When I go into Software Update in the phone's settings, it says "Your device already has the latest available system updates."
When I use the Sony app on my PC it says my system software is up to date.
I actually can't find anything about this issue, anybody here have any ideas?
Thanks!
try downloading and running xperifirm, find out if your region has the update at all, you should be able to update atleast to 7 anyway
There are a few variants that are considered as internal units or something like that and they don't get OTA updates, also HK units were stuck on 7 for some reason last time I checked. Mine is a french model, and yesterday I received the april security patches while the global variant got it two months ago

Thanks for the reply.
Here's a screenshot of Xperiafirm. https://ibb.co/dUCN3T
I'm in Canada, though I'm on Freedom Mobile, not Rogers or Bell. I don't think my carrier ever sold this phone, and I'm not sure what would happen if I flashed 8.0 made for Bell or Rogers phones.
Ideally I'd like 7.1.1 Canadian generic for Xperia X Performance, but I can't seem to find that anywhere.
I've also never done this so I don't really know what I'm doing, and don't want to void my warranty!
Thanks for you help!!
Good the ROMs that you see for Canada are all latest 8.0 with May security patches and maybe your phone is one of these and the updates just got stucked for some reason.
First you have to check what kind of model you have to check this, to do so you should open the dialler and type
*#*#7378423#*#*
From the service menu you should select -> Service Info -> Software Info and look for Customization Version:
As I said mine is a french model so it states 1302-9342_R2E your should be something different but only the first 8 numbers matter
then look this number in Xperifirm if yours is everything different from Internal Unit (second column from the screenshot) then there is a easy way to try and update without loosing your warranty
First there is always a risk! But I have done this a few times for my Xperia U and Xperia M5 and had no problems at all.
Do a backup - contacts...everything you need as it will delete them
charge the phone to at least 80%
then you should go to the Xperia Companion and do a software repair, not update but repair
It should install the latest version for your phone but it shows the version it installed only when it's finished...
Even if it has not installed the latest update then just connect the phone to your wifi/LTE and try the OTA updates again (could take up to an hour)
This is the safest way that will not void your warranty in any way but will delete your info (contacts, pics..etc. ) so do a backup prior
And if possible use a laptop with a working battery as even a 1 second glitch in the grid could cause the phone to get bricked
And if your phone is imported from China and the customization number is considered as an Internal Unit the only way you could get 7.0 or 8.0 is by flashing and another ftf file as the ones for Bell Canada or Rogers, there are actually some ROMs uploaded in XperiaBlog
there could be some in XDA but I have not search for any

Thanks so much for the reply...I discovered the version of Android installed on my phone is a version meant for Journalists/Reviewers/Commercial use, and can not be updated. I just got a refund for the 3-year warranty portion of my purchase after pointing this out to them. So after the 90 day warranty that came with it runs out, I'll be able to do anything I feel like with this device.
I'll be looking for a safe way to install 7.1.1 hopefully, and if not then 8.0. There seem to be less issues with 7.1.1, but there's really only one way to find out: when I start using it.
I'll definitely need a point in the right direction when it comes to that though. I understand Sony has an official flashing tool, and you have to unlock the bootloader (which is supported on my phone even with this version). But I haven't done it before and don't know how.

SOLVED: Full mobile 4G+ data signal, but no data comes through

Hi everyone
I have a strange problem. I bought the "International" version, which was of course the Tencent with a flashed ROM. Although it was sold as "International" hehe
I didn't have Google Pay working and I've flashed the 1703 together with fingerprint, re-locked it down after and then updated with the latest firmware from the Asus website. (Google Pay works now)
Version WW-16.0631.1908.21
I now see that even though I have a FULL 4G+ signal. Calls come through normally etc. but the internet on mobile data simply doesn't work.
Anybody have any advice what else I could do?
EDIT:
It was a simple APN problem

There are no topics on how to get OTA, i googled, all topics say its Impossible.
I want to know how he used offical update to update the phone, i just updated using one of the updates here in FASTBOOT mode.
If you know about topic that can enable REAL OTA that works or if you at least know how i can use ASUS offical updates to update [ mean i assume you just copy the zip file to the USB and it auto updates?]
Do tell me

There are no topics on how to get OTA, i googled, all topics say its Impossible.
I want to know how he used offical update to update the phone, i just updated using one of the updates here in FASTBOOT mode.
If you know about topic that can enable REAL OTA that works or if you at least know how i can use ASUS offical updates to update [ mean i assume you just copy the zip file to the USB and it auto updates?]
Do tell me

Idk how to turn on real OTA thing, but if u want update to official ROM (copy zip file to internal storage), make sure your fingerprint set to same with your ROM (ex: WW ROM with WW Fingerprint), that works with me

I just googled what my mobile phone carrier APN was and entered it instead of the wrong one.
You can find the one in the phone by simply going to settings > network and internet > mobile network -> APN ( Access Point Names )
I just started having this issue yesterday! Phone has been working great for over a month then all of a sudden 4g shows it's on and connected but no mobile data coming through! My APN is correct, and I'm using Straight Talk through the TMobile network... Still haven't been able to fix it.
Same issue here internet connection dropping
I wonder if T-Mobile is doing some "dry runs" before they officially light up their 5G network on December 6th. (src: https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/4...d=WMM_TMO_P_19NETWRK5G_91WOGGGY1WERV94JC18747)
I am having same issue. Adding APN works for few hours. Then drops out. What to do? Did you guys find any solution?
Assalam alaykum
I suffered from dropping internet dropping connection
The solution was APN
Go to settings > network and internet > mobile network -> APN ( Access Point Names )
click the ( Access Point Names ) and you will find many APN setting Depend on your internet provider
Click one of them and then and on far top right option button click (delete APN)
Repeat this until you delete them all
Click the ( + ) sign to create new APN
Now go to thia site:
https://www.apnsettings.org/
And search for your country or internet provider
Copy the APN setting from the website to you your phone
Then save.
Hope it could help you
In case you couldn't connect to the internet at all
you can always restore your previous setting by :
Go to settings > network and internet > mobile network -> APN ( Access Point Names )
on far top right option button click (reset to default)

Huawei P40 Pro eRecovery offer EMUI 11

My previous build was ELS-N29 10.1.0.176(C432E8R6P1) and no EMUI 11 for me through regular channels (Settings/System & updates and Support App), so i decided test update through eRecovery and voilá, now I have EMUI 11 build 11.0.0.151(C432E3R6P4)
I followed these steps:
1. Boot into Recovery, USB cable connected to the device and to the PC/Charger, with device switched off press VOL+ and Power ON, maintain both pressed till you see the Recovery, then select "Update mode".
2. Select "eRecovery mode".
3. Select "Update and recover system"
4. Select "Download update and recover"
5. "Enabling Wi-Fi..."
6. "Connecting to Wi-Fi network..." select yours, add password and select "Connect"
7. If the "Downloading Package..." is EMUI 11, wait till the all process ends, in case is not, then you can cancel and restart the device.
Enjoy!!
Notes:
- Takes a little bit longer "verifying package..."
- During update you'll see "Recovering system", Do not remove the battery or storage device. !!!
- Data partition won't be wiped.
- If your are not happy with EMUI 11, because you still with Android 10, not 11 as I have expected, HiSuite_11.0.0.500_OVE offer a rollback to EMUI 10.1.0, in my case for ELS-N29 10.1.0.176(C432E8R6P1), BUT this time the data partition will be wiped.

same error as you, we have the one sim version it seems
@cmoss9946, @mynameisalvaro
Your firmware is customized for one service provider?
Your devices have only one SIM active because they are locked by firmware?
So, they decided disable this feature to maintained the contract, if not this FW would set you free, i think!!!

Nope, I got the firmware from firmware finder, only one SIM because of the tray, this is a different model than the international one that has dual SIM. Its just there is no emui 11 yet for our specific model I belive.

This is what happens once you downgraded your firmware using hisuite proxy. Software updates are now broken.

Not really , it's probably because we have different phone versions than the european, my version is the one for America so no Emui 11 yet
Right.
EMUI 11 does not come for all areas at the same time. And not for all models.
In time, it will come for everyone ... probably (for the announced models)
The steps worked for me. I have the international version which is dual sim (ELS-NX9).

Not really, only if you choose firmware for a different region.
