When I received my brandnew Mi A2 lite end of September it offered me straight away an update. Ever since I did not receive any further updates, neither security patches (currently on 5th Sept.) nor the PIE update. When I now try the OTA update it tellms me that the service is currently not available. My Mi is not rooted nor is the bootloader open. Its same as on the first day. Does anybody else face this issue?
Sucks to not get the OTA updates, but at least you could update (flash) your phone with the offical fastboot roms downloadable from Xiaomi.
https://en.miui.com/getrom.php?r=354&m=yes&app=false
Easy as pie to flash it via MiFlash tool, but I'm afraid you have to unlock your bootloader before.
I'm on October update and don't seem to get anything else either!
May I ask where are you both from? From experience with my old Motorola and my brother's Nokia for example, some regions like the U.K. get their updates always pretty late.
Edit: I'm using mobile Firefox, don't see any country flags if used.

At least myself is from Germany. However I tried one thing that was succesfull yesterday. I deleted all data and set up the phone from scratch and voila the Nov. security update came stright away (some 900mb).
MAybe helpful for the other pal stuck on Oct. security update, too.

Have been to the Netherlands, Norway, and the UK with the phone - no update in any of these! Hope this helps!
Let's see next week in the USA...
Are you maybe using some form of ad blocking via DNS or hosts files? I accidentally blocked a xiaomi domain once

The country you're in while checking isn't the "problem", it's the country where your SIM card is from. Maybe try to remove the SIM and/or try to reset location data like discribed here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/beta-upgrade-to-android-9-beta-pie-vpn-t3872694
With a German SIM this shouldn't be necessary at all, but maybe resetting of the location data alone might help.

Hmmm! Last thing to test would be a factory reset and a try to update an untouched environment preferably without SIM cards.
Don't use the Google restore option! If you do so, don't forget to backup important stuff to a SD card/cloud before.

That's what I thought to do too, but I have 3 more trips coming up till the end of the year, so let's see if there'll be any luck with the December update or with any of the other countries! Else, I'll probably have to do a factory reset! This is not what I was hoping for though, all I wanted was a phone that can have monthly security updates!

Timely security updates and a 4000 mAh battery for me. Good luck with your phone.
In Italy same problem, no updates at all. There's a way to unlock this?

October for me too.
update for the update: I received the November update a few hours after I landed in San Francisco! So there must be some restriction in countries! But I'm glad there is no problem with my phone!

Hey guys from turkey is this a new Firmware maybe 6.0.1? Pls give us infos Or changelog
I believe that this is the current version that we are using which is v20d-tur-xx. If not please enlighten us
i am currently using a h815 german model of the g4 so i didnt know that tr versions didnt get v20d yet. i thoguht it would be 6.0.1. I saw this today because i wanted to downgrade my phone back to 5.1 but if anyone here has a turkish model then he could give us more detailed information.
I am currently installing the new update. I checked the LG Bridge app after your post. There is a new update (v20e-tur-xx Dated 22/03/2016 I guess I skipped the details screen). I will write again once the update is done. It is 1.57gb and showing enchantsment on wifi calling and voelt(or smt like this).
You had v20d before update or something else?

It would be somethink like april security patch and they probably have added support for wifi calling and volte as it looks like, but I cannot say somethink. I want the opinion from the people who has this update.

Wow. I did the update over Lg's compaion app for pc and yes it took 1.57gb and also how am i gonna harm you ? All i did was giving you information lol.

Don't call people noob or hacker. Maybe you are a brash f...l that you can say these words. I'm downloading KDZ now. I will flash tomorrow or tonight and it is very natural that size is 1.57gb.

4.5G? They still cant give us fully 3G speeds. They try to decieve you with 0.5G by giving you very long time delayed LTE support.

I flashed 20e KDZ with LGUP but there is no section for wifi calling. How did you get it?
A bit off topic, but Turkcell was one of the best providers I could try regarding 3G. With a prepaid SIM I had a very stable and fast connection, no drops in crowded Istanbul areas, data cover even in remote places like the top of Mount Nemrut ! They could even teach some of the French carriers to handle a 3G network correctly !
Off topic finished, don't know how they can put out a 1.5GB update with "only" this little improvement. Maybe a lot more of changes "under-the-hood".

I have a HTC 10 that's bought in Taiwan,can I use an update from the states? (found here: htc.c om/us/support/htc-10/news/)
the reason I'm wanting to update is because I'm currently on software number 2.41.709.7, which is a security update from January ; whereas the states have one from May.
When I check for updates on the phone, it tells me I'm on the latest update.
Is there any reason where I shouldn't use the american update? (ie: carrier issues or whatever?)

You will need to S Off so yoyu can change your MID and CID otherwise it wont work. You will most likely lose VOLTE using another firmware thats different from your carrier. If its just an updated security patch your after i wouldnt even bother. Just wait for the update
Yea the question is more if it's worth to spend 25$ to get updates to address security flaws that almost surely would not have affected you anyway.

I have the same problem too! I even tried to install google play service manually with latest apk files, but it doesn't work. Plus, I can't even use any google apps. Very frustrating. I tried to ask for help to the support, but they didn't care anything. Shame on Huawei, I would never buy Huawei devices anymore
I had the same issue, but I fixed it. The problem is my device came with Chinese firmware on it, which as you already know after the last update doesn't support Google services and all of the related apps.
The solution is to change your mediapad's firmware with no Chinese one. I downloaded mine from here: romfirmware.com/2017/08/03/huawei-mediapad-m2-8-0-m2-801w/
Definitely works. Wish you luck!
P.S. Bear in mind that you will loose all of your personal data and installed apps doing so. I recommend to backup your entire device and later to try to restore it on the new firmware - it is not so easy in my case but in the end it worked.

Thank you so much for the information. I'm going to try this way
No Google
Yep I got the same problem. Update stopped google working.
I side loaded some things but Chrome worked for a short period and then stopped working again. I tied Opera and it was fine so only a Google thing.
I then attempted to flash older firmware and did something wrong as I completely hard-bricked my device. Fastboot mode works but no other mode works. I'll be posting a 'help please' elsewhere in the forums. Very f'ed off about it, but the downsides of buying off AliExpress, it's going to be Chinese firmware. Might go buy a Samsung form the shop down the road (sigh).
I updated to B217 and have the same problem that all Google things stop working.
After hours of searching I have successfully downgrade my M2-801W from B217 (EMUI 4, Android 6) to B019 (EMUI 3, Android 5).
Now all Google things work fine as before.
I will post the guide and the necessary files soon.

Hi All,
I came across a post to do with updates of DDL's here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6-2018/how-to/ota-nokia-6-1-plus-k-nokia-x6-codename-t3839398..... I noticed a USSD code to view system information, which is put into phone dial pad
*#*#227#*#* after doing this i noticed it states ( see attachments )
I am curious why image modification is yes? was this due to upgrading to Android Pie, manually??
Also it says Root Reason: 10 records, when I go into this, it shows Boot Not Match 3, on 10 occasions
I was wondering what this all means, is their anything wrong or is this normal.
Thanks for any advice / assistance in advance.
Same here after manual update, so I'm curious also...
Me to, now im thinking will we still get updates.
Same here after receiving Pie automatically on TA-1068. Never had problems with updates, so I guess the explanation lies elsewhere.

Yea i already read that. He have all the access. He can do. What i mean is we can't directly do this without unlocking bootloader. But he can via remot acces. He will charge 5dollars for one conversion. Pretty decent. I also waiting for my 8.1 to unlock the bootloader and flash China Rom

Why would you flash CN rom? Doesn't android one better? I had X7 6gb ram, let say i successfully convert to android one ver (8.1), 8.1 have 4gb ram would it matter? I mean the system will confused? Or it is automatically adjust? Or maybe going to brick?

Actually i am an old user of Nokia 7+. After unlocked bootloader in 7+ i just flashed CN rom and i really like it. Some of the features seems pretty good for me like Face Unlock, long screenshot, Screen record, Double tap to sleep, Navigation bar key adjustment, call recording, etc etc. Also i feel the UI is slightly polished and looks good. After selling 7+ i bought 8.1. But need some above mentioned features. Thats why i am waiting for 8.1 bootloader unlock.. Stock is good and fast. Smooth enough. But just want to try CN rom too..
Well, Android One is good too. U can convert to 8.1. Ram does not matter. It won't brick.
Hey ! I found this X7 with Global firmware.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NOK...7.html?spm=2114.search0104.0.0.10ab6000CidjVh
Does this global firmware means gonna be stuck on Android 8.1 and no more updates ?
I had my X7 converted into a global 8.1 running Android One using Techmesto for $10.
https://shop.techmesto.com/product/convert-nokia-x7-to-global-variant-nokia-8-1-with-android-one/
Was a pretty easy process, ordered, got a email about it to organize a time when they can do it.
The process was simple, just to install TeamViewer on a PC (with LAN port, it needs a LAN port to connect to the internet not WiFi for some reason).
They connected to it, has me connect the phone and enable USB Debugging, and they did the rest remotely.
The guy then logged in, got to work and in about 30 minutes it booted up, saw Android One and immediately got my Jan security update. I can recommend their services, very happy with it now!

The process was simple, just to install TeamViewer on a PC (with LAN port, it needs a LAN port to connect to the internet not WiFi for some reason).
They connected to it, has me connect the phone and enable USB Debugging, and they did the rest remotely.
The guy then logged in, got to work and in about 30 minutes it booted up, saw Android One and immediately got my Jan security update. I can recommend their services, very happy with it now!

I see the price is $15.
And can you get OTA update ?

Ah sorry, the price must've increased. It was $10 at the time of writing.
And yes, I got an OTA update to January's security update straight away. I suspect it'll continue to get updates, but the Jan update is the latest so can't say much right now

Please keep us updated if you could. I am planning to buy an X7 to save some money. Its 150$ cheaper in my country. Minus the 15$ service, this is not bad!
Thank you!

Can you pls post some pics of your x7, + some pics with One rom.
I use x7 too and really want to get One rom. Some features of CN rom is good, but gg core services is not stable.
Btw, is there any issue/error when using One on x7?
Tks.

I'll def update as soon as I get the February update.
Sorry for the horrible quality, had to use my laptop camera.

I haven't come across any issues with running Android One. The NFC doesn't work but that's expected as the X7 doesn't have NFC.
I also can't record calls anymore, which was super easy with the China ROM. Apparently Google cracked down on call recording apps in Android Pie.
But everything seems fine, seems to work as they should. The camera , voice, dual sims, hotspot all worked soo far.

Hi,
Sorry, I've never done that before, but if I understand correctly, it's working.
I opened up Google Maps, selected Location Sharing and selected to share via a link.
I can open that link on my PC and see it, so I think it's working
