Edit:had to remove my sim and insert it again and it worked

Just received the CPH1917EX_11_A.16 update via this way, it still doesn't add colosos 7 though.
Oppo updates aren't the greatest

Software update 1.96.709.5 for Taiwanese version

Hi guys,
I'm posting to let you know that today my HTC 10 Taiwanese (stock and unlocked) received the update version 1.96.709.5 (456,99 MB) with the following improvements:
1) Support for VoLTE
2) Support for Wifi calling
3) Google Security Update (September 1)
4) System and Camera enhancements
I though it was Nougat but when I saw the size I realized it's not
Anyway an update is always welcome for me.
Does this update fix the "video flickering issue" in low light?

Hi,
I cannot find menu to enable VoLTE and WiFi calling features after updated to this version.
Did you find this feature on "setting/call/....??
Sent from my HTC_M10h using Tapatalk
Me too! Despite it's indicated in the update there's no "Enhanced call service" in Call settings.
Maybe these options are shown only if you have a compatible SIM card or carrier? It's a guess, I don't know

i am using tw set 64gb, no updates so far...is there something wrong with my fone?
VoTE or WiFi Calling probably only activate if you have a special Taiwan Carrier.
It's not showing up for me either in Switzerland.
Anyone here in Taiwan with working VoLTE or WiFi Calling?
New update 1.98. 709.5
New update today. Still no VoLTE or WiFi calling in calls menu.
yes these feature only appear if you have a Taiwanese carrier. I have a sim card for Chunghwa Telecom and T-mobile. As soon as I insert the T-Mobile sim card, the phone restarts and these settings goes away.
Flash the region specific firmware to get volte, I got a CID_622 (HK specific), if I switch to another other firmware then volte wil gone.
look forward someone able to combine all of them in a custom rom.
Nothing new with fm radio function actually activated?

Monthly Security Patches for Honor-6x

Hallo guys & gals, I wanted to ask you guys about monthly Security Patches as Google has made bound all the OEMs to release monthly security patches for their devices. In this regard most of the devices are getting monthly or at least once in a couple of months but my Honor-6x is not getting any OTA update since April 2017.
Do you guys have any idea or does any body have any Honor 6x with a more recent security update patch?

Honor 6X is getting updated to latest patches every month, currently it's in August Patch 2017...!!!

Every month lol. The best Joke i have read.
Well, it depends on the region, US models are rarely updated (unlike EU and Indian variants)
I saw in your signature that your phone model is BLN-21. Could you check if your build ends with B360? If yes, an update should come out soon but meanwhile you should be able to force it, by going on system update > tap on the 3 dots in the upper right corner > download latest update (if the option isn't there you cannot force it yet)
As you can see in these screenshots, in the 1st system update says that there aren't updates; in the 2nd, the option mentioned above is the first of the list, and finally in the 3rd i can download the update
Whoops i forgot the third screenshot, here it is
Well guys as you can see in my shared screen shot my device is on B361 of update level and the region is actual Pakistan which falls under middle east region. Now I actually created the thread to make it sure, whether my region is getting updates or not?
And thanks, @RedSkull23, I have tried your suggestion but as you see my device is already on B361.
I think my real problem is the update via firmware finder, and that's why my device isn't getting OTA updates. As the below screen shot reveals my device is on B361 but the security patch is 5 April 2017, and it is the time when this update was released and I updated my device through FF, since than I have tried a lot but I couldn't get any OTA update.
Sent from my BLN-L21 using Tapatalk
When I still had my 6x, the patch would come about 10-15 days after Google released it. Couldn't say it's timely, but it indeed come monthly.
Btw, I have a Chinese model 6x.
Monthly in China ? And others can go to hell ?
I had to push B365 after about 3 months after B360. Others don't get it at all.

Can you check or, do you remember if previous build number matches with the number of your actual build, or if not? If they doesn't match, maybe the FF update you did has moved you on a different build number, and so your software update won't find nothing because that's the latest package of your ACTUAL build, instead of the previous. Personally, i get confused every time that i finish to speak about FF updates because with all that packages stored and selectable, the number of possibilities that could provoke an issue are too much to be hold in mind at the same time
You are absolutely right FF has its very serious pros & cons. And yes, I think I remember the previous build number of my device, it was B360 and I did a full package download and dload upgrade on my device, and I also remember I was too much enthusiastic to find a sulotuion for the FM radio problem, yet in vain.

WW rom 1910.35 FOTA update

https://mega.nz/#!w0ZHjA6I!hrKmMca42c5798fuqCWZgM8Vcl5V6TAQsHipLhpjC5o
Here we go, WW update, latest rom for us! Thanks to chicken on the Vietnam telegram group. I'll post more later when I get home regarding magisk etc.
For now though, place in root of the storage and restart. But hang fire of you're rooted and want to remain so, I'll post instructions later, unless of course you know what you're doing. I just want to check magisk via ota method works before I post in detail here...
Changelog
WW 1910.35
Added grid display for game selection in the Games Library of Armoury Crate
Added game cover customization in*the Games Library of Armoury Crate
Added AirTriggers slide gesture in Game Genie (Beta)
Fixed the issue where navigation bar couldn't be hidden when playing "Black Desert"
Fixed the issue where Game Genie panel was pulled out easily when Key Mapping was used
Update with root : I was running magisk 20.1 prior to updating. After placing ota in root of internal storage and rebooting, system update should be detected. Click to install. Once completed don't restart the device, just choose 'later', then go to magisk manager and choose install. Then choose install ota. After that, reboot and you should have a fully updated and working latest rom with latest magisk still intact
Root and stock boot img's should you need...

Umm, good question! I just posted the changelog, not sure what it allows to do. Will have a Google etc later if I get a chance...
Perhaps, for instance, when going around corners in a car racing game the slide option allows gradual increase in steering? But that's a complete guess at this point!
Thanks. Btw anyone using Paypal or Bank apps? Not working after rooting right?

Basically, yeah, it allows gradual sliding to control, for instance, walking /sprinting in pubg or gradual drifting in asphalt... But I have used it yet, I'm only telling you what I was told! Hopefully that's correct though...

Haven't gotten this OTA update, didn't get .25 either. I'm not sure why because my device is untouched. Anybody else seeing this issue? I'm on a WW device, Indian variant, 8/128.

1. Have you had any updates without forcing them?
2. These updates are early releases from CN or Taiwan or Vietnam (somewhere along those lines) and the updates for eu and India market will no doubt get released at some point in the future from the main asus website.
3. Although you may have bought a device with WW rom installed, doesn't mean the fingerprint has been changed. You can check with device info hw from playstore. You'll find, under system, your product id and rom plus fingerprint, they all need to match.
4. That said, even then I'm not sure (if they do all match) you'll get the updates without manually installing them. I can't say for sure as I always download the early bird releases from Vietnam telegram group. I've never waited to see if updates to indeed happen automatically here in UK...
Hope some of this helps...

1. Yes, I've gotten the .21 update which is the only one that has come out since I bought the phone.
2. I thought so too, just need to confirm.
3. It's an official Indian variant from Asus, so fingerprint mismatch is unlikely. I think it's just that .25 was never officially released, and I'll probably get .35 soon. Hopefully!
Thanks for your help.

.21 was an official release. .25 still hasnt been updated on the Asus Bios firmware page, so I assume it wasnt official. .35 still hasn't been updated on the Asus Bios firmware page, so its still not available. If you have a genuine WW phone (like my North American WW bought from B&H) then just download, put in the root directory, and reboot the phone to install.
I've just done mine, and works great! :good::good:

I'll wait for a couple of days and then try doing that. OTA for Indian units is usually delayed so I'm hoping I'll get it by the end of this week.

MRX-AL09 No security updates?

Hi, This machine arrived this morning and using the dialler (update mode) I managed to download the firmware using C432E135R1P135 and installed Google Play very easily.
Now the machine is running great and all apps work but I noticed the security patch is April 2020 with No updates?.
Anyone know how to find/install updates

There is a July update, I already have it. It was delayed though. It usually comes to me at the middle of the month, now it came on the 26th, July. Still in time though.
It depends on what model you have. I have the snapdragon and I think it gets it first, as predominantly where this device is sold, it is the snapdragon version.

Been out for a long time. You can download the firmware and manually update at any time, if you haven't gotten the OTA yet
I have noticed for me who is in South Africa. My security updates generally is a month late or so. Like the June Update I only received around the 25th of July. So I should probably get the July update closer to the end of this month.
Sammobile is a bit behind on updates for my model. so I get the OTA first then it updates on the site.
Unless there is another site a person can download from

I've seen a couple of posts here in xda and in reddit where someone mentions having downloaded firmware from samfw.com and getting errors with them (something along the lines of "error validating footer") and it surprises me that both posts mention this website specifically. Therefore, I don't recommend it anymore. I will always recommend Frija over anything else, no download speed limit and it's never failed on multiple devices.

But then you have to wait for the enc4 file to be decrypted into a zip. On SamFW, the speeds are just as fast as Frija, but the files are already in zip format

Yes, and? Never had any problem with Frija !
Moreover, that it is decrypted into ZIP after the download makes it possible to be sure that it is complete.
