Hello everybody, I just received the OTA of Android 11 on my Note 10+ Snapdragon US version. Does anybody knows if its safe to install it? Cause I have a lot of information and is not an option to do a wipe data or hard reset after the installation. I have hex and other optimization apps but I can live without them if I find any issue.
Hope somebody already have installed this official update and share your opinions.
Thanks in advance.

Hey, I don't think it's safe to install at this time. I just updated my phone about an hour ago and am now stuck in a bootloop because of this update.
Unfortunately it's looking like I'll probably loose 6 months of data because of this unless there's a work around anyone knows about.
Looking for the safest ... least invasive way to either disable the **** ton of bloatware on this crappy N975U1, or advice on the best rooting routes that are available right now... Samsung was bad before... but I cannot deal with this crap that they loaded in with the android11 update! I'd read that Magisk hadn't even been effective on this last attack by these heathens...

Am I just missing it, or is there no root or recovery ability for the 915A?
Marshmallow 6.0.1 ****ed mine up when it got pushed down, and Samsung's backup software (all 3 of them) failed to capture my apps and settings properly. Really wish I could've had a better backup ability.
Does or has anyone checked to see if the update to MM 6.0.1 has unlocked the bootloader on the SM-N915A like the Verizon variant?
How does one check?
Att have not released any M updates.
Mine updated to 6.0.1 the same day I bought it . Several small updates happened first. 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 then a small one, and finally 6.0.1. Since I had just bought it, resetting was a simple thought. But so far, no problems, I bought a PowerBear to make it last longer. :fingers-crossed:
Mine had a lot of issues after being updated. MMS didn't work at all. SMS worked sporadically, but would sometimes delete whole threads. Couldn't get a signal in many spots. Google Play Services wouldn't run and couldn't be fixed. Tried a cache-wipe and every other non-destructive method, but nothing worked. Ended up having to factory-reset, and since then the phone works as it should, but none of the backup methods captured key settings. Basically all it did was save contacts and APK's. Lost my 2-factor keys and everything.
I am with you! Since the update to MM, phone has been very laggy/unresponsive. Lock screen lights up for no reason sporadically and I have LOTS of dropped calls/deadspots. VERY irritating! I wish this release would have been tested a bit more before it was OTA pushed out
Hey all! Good news! A 9-year-old bug called the "Dirty Cow" exploit still exists in the Linux/Android kernel can easily grant root on any Android phone!!! See the video below.
http://www.xda-developers.com/9-yea...-dirty-cow-can-root-every-version-of-android/
So there's another bug to exploit for root and even possibly unlocking the bootloader! The bug has been fixed recently in Linux but hasn't been rolled into Android yet.
Could someone make this Windows compatible? http://androiding.how/dirty-cow-root-android/

Hi
I have been scouring the net for a couple of days trying to find reliable tutorial on rooting my new phone
anyone know how?
[update - i figured it out. just login to your flyme account. once logged in go to SETTINGS-SECURITY-ROOT PERMISSIONS and switch it on. the option is not available until you log into Flyme]
regards
jason
p.s. i'm fairly novice at phone software

I did it! i rooted my phone. i tried about 5 different apps such as kingroot (didnt work). eventually one of them (not sure which one!) added a switch under security settings called "root permissions" i turn that on and rooted the phone easy.
You could root your Meizu with a Flyme 6.x.x build.
But with Flyme 7.x.x it's impossible.

I want to know if its possible to flash or install a apk of the new Android OS to the aging Note 5. Now I know official support is over. So I wanted to know if such a feat is possible? Also I do not caire if its as stock as Android 8.0 gets and I lose the rubbish Samsung touch wiz UI. Any help advice or just tell me how its not possible for these reasons be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I feel your pain, my friend. Since we never even received 7.1 we will probably never get 8.0 or 8.1....Samsung is a business that needs to sell new phones. As a consequence, old phones like ours "normally" only get 2 version updates. Ours started with 5.1 was updated to 6.0 and finally to 7.0.

Yah sucks hope there is a solution.
After update to android 9, now quite a bunch of my apps is not working properly, including alarmy, ingress and hackers keyboard, even after factory reset after update.
I'm looking to revert to 8.1, but having hard time finding proper ROMs for TA-1043.
Could someone please direct me where can i find one or use something else (less specific?) as substitute?
me too for TA-1099. WiFi and Data not working at all on mine.
Or you can wait till they update the apps to Pie :laugh:

I f**ked up my N6.1 and it just boot(-loops) in to TWRP. Hav no good BU. So it is bricked since almost two month :-/
would be happy for any support.
Hi ,
Need advice on the best way to upgrade Android version on my new (really new) Pixel 3 XL- still waiting for it.
In the lights of latest news on "EDL Bug" bricking lots of Pixel 3 phones( just search the Internet for last few days ),
I started to doubt if purchasing it was a good idea. So either I return it right away (EBay purchase- 14 days return )
or try to risk it and install Android 10 only and then wait for stable Android 12.... from all of the research it looks like
security update for Android 11 can be the culprit here? Is it possible to jump /omit upgrading to certain versions like jumping
from ver 9 to ver 10 and later straight to ver 12, or does it have to be done in sequence ?
Sorry for a noob question ,,, but until now i was using only IPhone , and now decided to try Pixel devices.
If upgrade HAS to be done in sequence, then risk of Bricking it is too high and I rather return the device , loosing on
shipping only.
Thank you very much,
Lino
Anybody ?....
Please , I will need to make a decision as soon as I receive the new phone!
I am sure that there is a lots of people here, for whom this question is very trivial...
Can I upgrade from Android Pie straight to Android 12, OTA... or should I go in steps..
Thanks. Lino
you can flash the full factory image of android 12 beta, or android 11, whichever you prefer, and google made it easy using the online android flash tool. when using this, you don't need to go in steps whatsoever.

Im running the Scorpian Rom right now. Really do not know whats causing the bricks but im gonna stick to custom roms from here on out.
I'd go with Android 12. Either Beta 4.1, or wait a week or so for the public release. The EDL thing I read is only happening on Android 11, so I think you'll be safe updating to 12.
Ok , thank you all
I think when I receive the phone, I will update OTA to version 10 first , then I wait for official stable version 12
and Sideload it ? Yes? ....Sorry i am totally new to this...
So I have to unlock the bootloader first, do i have to root it ?... like using Majisk ? in order to sideload the stable
version 12 ?
Anybody has a links to good step by step tutorial ? Will appreciate it !
Anyway watching lately lots of you tube videos about unlocking etc,
Will appreciate any general pointers how to go about it, egz. what to do first , second etc.
Thank you, Lino
