If it is OTA it depends, but most of the times you need to install them one-by-one, instead if it is the full Zip you need just the last one

What? That's wrong. You can skip from 01/03 build to today's without problems even with the in-built OTA updater.

I didn't get it was related to the built-in OTA, I understood he was talking about TWRP flash.
If related to built-in you can just follow what advised

hope this is helpful.
Android Version : 2.2.
Software number : 2.09.405.8.CL218634 release keys
Thanks in advance
According to the HTC Website, the latest build should be 2.10.405.2.
I'm not so hot with rooting / gold card stuff myself. Perhaps check / post in one of the threads specific to that?
The updates offered by the latest build aren't really game-changing, though.
1.Android OS update patch 2.Enhanced multi inbox Gmail support 3.Improved Russia keyboard layout

You cant install a OTA update on a ROOTED phone. Either u unroot the phone or wait for newer version of the custom rom.
Yes you can I have done this before. Tell the update to just download. Go into clockwork mod and disable signature checks and the other one im forgetting what its called . Tne go back to the main menu and press apply update.zip

hi Jimmbomb, with T315, you should be first in q for the update
please let us know once you have KK available as I hope T310 is next in line for update
best of Luck
I think what usually happens is the source code is posted by Samsung before an OTA update is rolled out.
Might be worth checking here every so often - http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=SM-T315
You can change the end value to T310 & T311 to check those models as well.

Hmm... Not sure you can flash those source zips if that's what your referring to? Never actually downloaded one off there before though.
I was just pointing out that usually Samsung uploads something on there beforehand & then an OTA update on the device follows sometime after that.

P6S OTA update FAILED

Hi,
My wife has a P6S-U06 phone (the Dual-SIM version of P6 with slightly stronger processor) and today morning the phone indicated that there is OTA firmware update. I downloaded it through WiFi and installed it, but without success. I repeated the whole process twice more, thinking that it might be an incomplete download. But the flash always 'FAILED'. (See attached picture)
The OTA upgrade should have updated the P6S-U06 B128 firmware version to B131.
What could be the problem? What can I do?
Ok, finally I resolved the problem. The B131 is out now and I flashed the full ROM. Then immediately came the 4.4 ROM as OTA upgrade and I installed it too.

Hi,
The download link:

But take care, the site is in Chinese, you'd better use Google translate.

Well, it's quite simple. From the downloaded zip you extract the 'dload' folder and put it into your internal memory. Then start Update app on the phone and choose local update.

Thank you. I was able to update mine to B131. One more thing, you mentioned about 4.4, but there's no such update available.

After flashing B131 the phone indicated that there is a new online (OTA - Over the air) update. I downloaded it by Wi-Fi and installed it.
Now my firmware version is B202 SP03. It is Android 4.4, Emotion UI 2.3. The OTA update did not delete my data. All apps, settings remained unchanged.

Thank you but seems like the upgrade to 4.4 is no longer available. Thanks again for the help. Maybe I will just try to look for any possible link to download the firmware.

Hey I searched everywhere for the B131 file but cannot find it. Do you still have and if so is it too much trouble to ask you to uploaded ?
I've tried updating to b208 b207 b202 but all of them fail during the update

Hi Tibor!
Last week I bought a P6S too. My version is B128. As I see on Huawei chinese local site, there's a newer firmware version. ( Ascend P6S(P6 S-U06,Android 4.4,Emotion UI 2.3,V100R001C17B208SP01)) Did you update yet to this version? Which version are you using?
I'm bit afraid to brick my phone during the update, therefore I would like to make a backup before. How can I make a full backup? Root permission is needed to that action?
Anybody tried this firmware? (P6 S-U06,Android 4.4,Emotion UI 2.3,V100R001C17B208SP01) Is it OK?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Klown

I have already answered to you at another thread.
My wife is using now the same V100R001C17B208SP01 firmware on her P6S-U06 phone. The system is very smooth, we cannot recognise any bug of that ROM. So, I strongly recommend to use it!

I've tried to do the same thing with my phone but the system says that 'Update was not found'. I have the same B128 version. Does anybody know what can cause such an error?

EMUI 5 (Nougat) B320 via Firmware Finder!

Hey guys!
I am Vivek from Ahmedabad, India. I am writing this just to let you all know about my recent experience with FF!
I bought my 6X (BLN-L22) like 2 months back and couldnt get any official ota even after waiting this long. I tried to contact the EMUI admin in Facebook and they told me that its being pushed to individual devices gradually. Now as promising as it sounds, how long is someone supposed to wait right?
Now, I came across an ocean of unfavorable and negative reviews about FF here in XDA and also in other websites. A lot of people complained about disappearance of updater and app twin along with other apps. While others complained of buggy performance or some other issues with the camera. But what I later found out was that people were trying to jump from an old release to the latest one without patching the previous releases of the full OTA in FF!
Some people had issues while jumping from 301 to 320 and some from 310 to 320. And some had twrp installed so its obv to face random issues anyway. Well, I was in B132 all this time and I didnt know what to patch first. But I read somewhere that my release and B320 were stables ones compared to others. So I backed up every single thing from my phone and took the risk only to see if all the hype about FF was true or not...
And to my surprise, it actually worked!! I simply flashed my phone to B320 from B132 using the proxy method and it all happened within an hour. I am on Nougat (EMUI 5) now and its super smooth. I have all the new features like App twin and box based push notifications. I even have the updater file which many complained of vanishing after flashing. It all worked just fine!
I was given a little inspiration by a guy named Gopi here for trying out the FF after all those crazy reviews. He said "You never know unless you try". And I went for it! haha!
So go ahead folks! B320 through FF is what you need if you dont wish to wait too much for the OTA. Special thanks to the developers of FF for this!
Good luck! :good:
Peace.
I'm legit jealous . Cause in my device (BLL-L22) there is still no full nougat update in it (with the app twin etc). Just wish huawei release it soon

No I didnt went for the factory reset. It wasnt necessary anyway. I simply updated from B132 to B320 via FF and within 15 mins, the whole update was installed. I got App Twin, Updater and a lot of other new features. I didnt faced any bug so far. Been using EMUI 5 since 3 days now. Dont wait for OTA if you dont wish to. Just upgrade via FF buddy. Good luck!
I think you won't get future OTA updates after this...
Because I also updated with firmware finder from Marshmallow to Nougat build 310 just as happy as you and now I'm not getting 320 update....?

People who updated with firmware finder earlier are getting 320 build as OTA but it shows "update failed" when try to update.

1. Download the right firmware for your device
2. Create a folder inside sdcard named dload
3. Extract the update.app inside the firmware you downloaded and put it inside dload
4. Power off your phone
5. Power it on back again using volume up, volume down and power buttons. All pressed simultaneously
6. Flashing will start.

Which package numder

Why is there 2 release numbers for Q? Which one is the proper one to use for Google Pixel 3Xl.(not verizon)
TIA
According to what I've read .019 is for those who were already on the betas and .020 is for those upgrading from Pie.
Not true, as I was on the last beta and the OTA pulled down .20 for me....
Honestly, they are hiding something here given the fact that there is NO documentation. I just got off chat with Pixel support. After going round and round and the agent claiming that it all depends on a bunch of stuff according to her "resources" she asked the resources one more time and they said that since you are flashing manually they recommended downloading .20 even though it completely contradicts the numbering method of every other Pixel file since the beginning when there was more than one (agnostic was always the first or lowest number and carrier specific after).
