Question How to check Rom Region and get update by using VPN? - Realme 8

Greetings. Currently i'm not getting any update due to Region/Location issue. I can't flash rom as my bootloader is locked and i don't want to unlock it. I have heard a way of updating software by using VPN. I don't know my region of rom version. How do i check that and use vpn to get update. Currently I'm stuck at A.19 update. Thanks.

try code *#899#
Check : Software Version -> [ OTAVer / MyRegion / FactoryVer ]
in any engineering must remember
- beter is not to touch anything while not sure about what you doing ...

I would also like to know this. I'm using a VPN connected to India but the update is still now showing in the settings.

(How-To)update the Samsung drivers on 7720.

Allot of us forced the mango update on Zune, but did not get the new drivers from Samsung.
So here it is a quick and dirty way of getting you phone up to date
Download the package from Here.
Unrar it to you pc.
Plug in you Omnia ,make sure Zune is not open.
If you have windows x64 click on the update-driversx64.bat shortcut.
If you have windows x86 click on the update-driversx86.bat shortcut
Follow the promps...
Notes:
You doing this at you own risk.
update can take up to 30 minutes
Tested in windows xp with an unbranded Omnia7, in windows vista or seven you may need to run the shortcut as an administrator.
After the update your Firmware version should be 24.11.8.5 and Bootloader version should be 5.8.1.9
You doing this at you own risk.
Good Luck.
As I see from FW number and BL version, these should be drivers from KH5 FW.
What's the difference, if any at all, with KH2 FE, i. e
FW 2424.11.8.2
BL 5.8.0.8
Radio is the same in both - 2424.11.7.2

I updated to Mango and ended up with the 2424.11.8.2 firmware instead of 2424.11.8.5 as well. Very tempted to use this method to update my Omnia 7. Will using this method cause any problems updating via Zune in the future?

Im not 100% sure but it should, the update only goes thrue if required by the device, if the devices does not need it or not compatible the update gets discarded.
I had the Mango flashed following threads from here from a month or so ago , a night or 2 ago i got 1 update (A Samsung update) i have had no others though i have the fw and bl mention in the first post . Am i up to date with only this one update ??
Others have mentioned "Beta clean ups" i haven't had these
Good. I got problems updating the drivers via zune. I guess those are official I'll be updating soon.
Thank you
worked like a charm, I needed this to get the wifi tethering to work, had the option there any everything but needed the sammy drivers.
I have an Omnia 7 that is "3" branded. I was running RTM 7220, plugged my phone into zune and it had 10 updates..
am I right in thinking I now have official Mango? so confused as everyone else seems to say the update hasn't come for us yet, but mines there now with hidden wifi and everything..
Installed the update and it works like a charm. Thank you.

Hi guys,
I'm getting update error on Mango 7720.
This is my Mango upgrade path..
NoDo -> ISV Beta -> 7403 -> 7720
I've been unable to install the Samsung Firmware, all I get is:
Error:
Update device 9d76937d - e66da2ea - e6327312 - f45fcae9 Complete with error code
: 80180048, error message: IU (Image Update) installation failed due to an error
.

The only restore point that I have is NoDo+Prov.cab that brought my phone to the Beta path (takesonetomango tool). Meaning that if I connect my phone to Zune, it says that the 'ISV Beta' update is available.
Anyone have any idea on how I could get the latest firmware? or possibile unprovision my phone so I could get on the normal path..and hopefully get the firmwares through the official production server?
I'm hoping that I won't need to reflash my device as it contains many SMS messages that I'd like to keep.
Works perfectly.
But I dont see any changes, what does this update exactly do?

For one it updates the sensor drivers, for instances, without this update the compass does not work.
Is this WP7_ENGINEER or WP7_PRODUCT???

[Q] Xperia V update from android 4.1.2 to 4.3 / firmware 9.1.A.1.140 to 9.2.a.2.5

Good day, I have a problem with my android and firmware update. I have seen some blogs about xperiaV posting that they already have JB 4.3 update and the latest version of firmware 9.2.a.2.5.. I am wondering how they update it 'cause when i connect my phone to Pc and run the PC Companion, i check the update and it says my phone/tablet is up to date, but the android version of my phone was still 4.1.2 and the firmware version is 9.1.a.1.140.. I don't understand what is the problem of my phone or at my PC Companion Software. I tried also connecting my phone to internet and check for update and still it says my system is up to date. My main concern why i wanted to update my phone, it is because my phone is now dead signal as in no signal (by the way i'm form the Philippines using Smart Communication Network postpaid) I've already switching the network from GSM only and to other choices provided but still no signal. I tried switching my Airplane mode and it displays an airplane icon on the signal area (I think airplane mode is working well, never tried using is). I've read some blogs also that you need to root your phone and flash the firmware and so on to update the android version, but i think its just changing the room, not really updating the system. I don't want to do that 'cause my phone might turn into bootloap 'cause i don't have much knowledge on doing that. I've read also some blogs stating that there is a bug or network issue on version 4.1.2. So i am looking forward from anybody here in the forum who can help or teach me what to do to update my android and firmware version.
I am not sure of it useful to 'upgrade" the phone to solve a problem - this problem of yours. If I were you I'd use the repair my phone option in PC-Companion first, and then see what happens with the phone signal.
You can simly flash any ftf file for your phone with flashtool. Not the sony one. You don't need root access for it
#Mr. Peter-K I've tried it already just a minute ago and still no use. Related to the blogs that i have read regarding on the 4.1.2 version network bug. there problem has been solve after updating the version of there android.
#Mr. Jimmy i'm new here, i hve knowledge on doing flash but i dont have any idea what file to download so that i can update the version of my android to 4.3 and the firmware also. I would like to ask you help if its ok for you,.

Look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648320
Download 9.2.A.2.5 unbranded coming from Singapore or HongKong (since you're from Asia) and follow the instructions to flash.
Good luck

Follow up question. Base on my current system version that i have witch is "Build 9.1.A.1.140, do i need to update my system first to 9.2.A.1.210 or its ok if i will go directly to 9.2.A.2.5?

You can jump straight to 9.2.A.2.5
It's important that you wipe all your data... and Flashtool will do it for you automatically if you don't change anything just before flashing
Mr. Istux got an OT question here. I have concern also on my network set up. I want to unlock my network so that i can use other sim card. My phone is Lock to Smart Communication Postpaid. So i wanted it to be open-line. Hope you can give some advise to solve my concern..

I actually don't know how sim-unlocking works.
Have you ever asked to your network? Usually they give you a code after having paid a little fine.

They told me that they cannot unlock my phone..they told me go to sony service center. hte problem is that we don't have a service center of sony here..
Back to my thread.still my phone signal is not working. i just found out w while ago that if i am in the higher place like 2nd floor of the building, i got a 2g network and my phone signal is working. but if i'm already at the ground floor the signal is not working. is it ok if i am going to do open line on my so that it will receive any type of network or is it really the software problem of my phone causing the signal not working??

Firmware version / update help

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)

local update

Hello everyone, being new to xiaomi devices, i would like to ask about updating. So my mi8 is currently on miui global 11.0.2 (PEAITTI) which i suppose is an italian variant. My problem is that the updater does not find any new updates despite the fact that there are. So I searched for manual update and found this https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=1 . My question is this is local update used for every factory rom regardless of the area and without the need to unlock the bootloader? And is fastboot update for every rom?
Extra quetion: Do i lose something by unlocking the bootloader except the warranty? (asking that coming from sony device)
Thanks in advance.
I have some experience installing MIUI and I advise you not to "mess" with the bootloader.
There is a condition that your device goes into "Brick" mode. See- https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/help/undo-fastboot-oem-lock-t4126427
by unlocking the bootloader You will be exposed, to some extent, to intrusions into your device by hackers.
The safest situation is to only update the system by OTA! especially that you have an "Italian" MIUI system (which appears to be global).
On the other hand, if you have prior knowledge and experience, you can update your system independently, even though there is a risk, by flashing through software you can find on the network.

Have you found a solution? I have the same problem. The latest version is 11.0.4.0QEAMIXM, but it cannot be installed by updater because "the current ROM's network carrier type is different from that in the Recovery package".

I haven't searched further into the subject due to lack of time in the current period and I'm fine not having the latest software as long as the device runs without problems (don't fix it if it ain't broken).
After reading your post again, I guess the "original" rum installed in the mitsosJL device, was installed by the seller who sold you the device.
You should first check if your bootloader is locked or open. (See https://gadgetmeetsguy.com/how-to-check-if-bootloader-is-unlocked/
If you decide to "unlock" the bootloader and install an update on your device, you will find many how-to guides.
I received an update via OTA for my Xiaomi Mi 8 device.
Update Name: 11.0.4.0 QEAMIXM Global.
There are not many changes since most of them are suitable for certain "regions", like China-India and some other countries in the world.
In any case, my recommendation of 02.07.2020 is still valid.
Good day to you.
