[NEWS][+DOWN.LINK] Galaxy A8 (2018) and A8+ (2018) Oreo update rolling out in Russia

According to Sammmobile.com , Samsung has finally released the Galaxy A8 (2018) Oreo update, bringing an end to months of waiting for owners of the company’s latest premium mid-range phones. The Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) are currently being updated to Android 8.0 Oreo in Russia. The rollout seems to have started over the weekend, and since it’s already mentioned on Samsung’s official website that details software updates, it should be available for most (if not all) users in Russia at this point.
Samsung’s official changelog suggests it’s an update similar to the one received by devices released before the Galaxy S9. Oddly, Dolby Atmos support isn’t mentioned, despite the devices’ user manual saying it’s included. That could possibly be because the A8 and A8+ only get Dolby Atmos for use over wired and Bluetooth audio, similar to devices like the Galaxy J6 and the Galaxy A6. The update also brings support for VoLTE on both SIM slots, which was recently made available for the Galaxy S9 as well. It’s unclear what security patch is included, but since the May security patch has already been out for these devices, it’s possible Oreo bundles the June patch. The July 2018 security patch is included in the update. The build numbers are A530FXXU2BRG1 and A730FXXU2BRG1.
Our What’s New With Android 8.0 Oreo series of articles is the best way to get details on some of the major new features and changes that Oreo brings to Samsung devices (and this official Samsung infographic is also something you should take a look at). To see if Oreo is available for your Galaxy A8 (2018) or A8+ (2018), open the Settings app on your device, tap Software update, then tap Download updates manually. The update is likely to take a few days to start rolling out in other markets; it could also be a few weeks, depending on how quickly Samsung expands the rollout.
The Russian Firmware is avaliable on Sammobile.com on the link below :
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8-plus/SM-A730F/SER/download/A730FXXU2BRG1/224366/
My question is ... will this firmware work on non Russian devices ?

It will.

Phone update status?

Hi, I just got my g8 from a swappa seller a couple days ago, LM-G820QM which I gather is the unlocked version (after calling lg to verify the imei is what it was advertised as and not just a random carrier unlocked phone). I saw on some threads here that people have up to sept/october updates on their carrier locked phones. Im curious as to what security patch your phones are on and what version the phone is. Im a bit surprised that I am still stuck on the april update with being carrier unlocked

Probably your G8 is the Amazon unlocked version which is the worst in updates
Mine is T-mobile version and I just received October security patch

I checked all system packages and apps and no traces of any amazon apps so I am a bit skeptical that I would have that version considering amazon makes their apps part of the system package. I figured having an unlocked non carrier version would be faster with updates than carriers but apparently not, no idea what lg is doing here :/

Hello! I see a ton of us firmwares out there. Did you try searching for your specific model and flash it with LG-UP? It takes 1-2 minutes to flash it...

I can't find any LG firmware website that actually has any firmware for the LG G8 LMQ710ULM (amazon) model. If you know of a place that has it please let me know.

FYI I'm still on April 2019 security patch...the update situation is just retarded on this phone

I'm also on APRIL 1, 2019 security update. Unlocked US version purchased at Best Buy. It appears only the carrier versions of this phone have received any updates.

I ended up returning the phone because of this issue. Its really mind boggling how carrier phones get updates but unlocked does not and especially from a 'big name' company like LG.. Maybe things have changed since I last modded phones a few years ago (just before a/b updates became a thing) but I thought the manufacturer had to make an update(which unlocked can use and get directly), then pushes it to carriers to add their bloa-.. apps* and then it goes to carrier phones. This was the reason why we had issues and delays with carrier updates in the first place. Regardless I wish you guys luck with future updates if they ever decide to push.
Just to also clarify on a previous comment, I have checked all g8 thinq models that end in QM (the unlocked versions) on their support page and the only firmware listed is april. Even connecting lg bridge does nothing with updates since nothing has actually been released by lg . _.

The Amazon G8 is the LM-G820QM, not the LMQ710ULM (not even a G8, or any of the G series model number), all G8's are LM-G820 with the specific variant added to the end (TM for T-Mobile, etc) the LMQ710ULM is the LG Stylo 4. If you're looking for firmware for that phone you might want to try looking in the right forum

LM-G820QM is also the non-Amazon version of the G8. Oddly enough Amazon G8 users are reporting updates, but I still don't have an updated for the non-Amazon LM-G820QM.

Finally got a security update! Wow, took long enough!

Android 10 Is HERE, LG G8 820QM Amazon Version
Android 10 is here! Yesterday 24/02/2020 Amazon has released the Android 10 Stable update for the LG G8 820QM, there are stability improvements, camera improvements and overall device fluency!

^ android 10 also breaks themes, adds a hideous unremovable "frequent apps" dock on recent apps screen, broke some nova actions, etc.

I recommend everyone having trouble with updates to go to the LG website and download "LG Bridge". install usb drivers plug it in and go to software update and see if it finds anything. I literally searched for android 10 update via FOTA 2 minutes before trying on LG Bridge and it found nothing, LG Bridge hooked me up in about 3 minutes, running android 10 now.

Unfortunately here 28.02.2020 still no update via OTA or LG Bridge.
But I use my LM-G820QM in Germany! According to LG Support, I don't get any updates or support here!
I have no idea how to do the update!
Best regards Uli from Sachsen / Germany

I've received the OTA notification on my device, too...
Other reports came also from North America
So we might say that the rollout is happening worldwide and both Global and EU devices are affected

It's dooms day for our units if you proceed.

in that case who responds for the phone failure, the my a3 that I have no longer turns on and I am in Colombia

How will XIAOMI resolve this, I'm in Portugal, this is totally unaceptable!

Update available also on eu rom (11.0.10.0)

I can confirm the the A3 of my cousin is bricked as well (Italy). I've tried everything to try to unbrick it (official and unofficial flashing tools) but nothing really helped. The problem now is that the phone is no longer covered by the warranty and it is really unpredictable what Xiaomi will do to solve this issue.
The only possible solution is to give a free unit to everyone after a huge recall.

incredible that on 2021 a company like xiami roll out a killer update without testing it before. It have the obligation to repair damage. In reverse they will lost credibility...

They already did

I've received the Android 11 OTA notification on my EU rom (italian device)
update performed successfully

Received a notification of the A11 update on my EEA MI A3 today, but after the update, the touchscreen is not working anymore, multiple reboots and a factory reset through the recovery didn't seem to work. Does anyone know if it's ok to downgrade to A10?

I have also received it today. Official EU version .

Updated yesterday to EU Android 11. No issues with touchscreen. Everything's good so far.

HiSuite won't downgrade

Hi,
I am trying to add GMS to my Huawei Mate XS. However, when I try to downgrade back to EMUI 10, there is no option to downgrade. It simply gives me a message that I am on the highest available firmware.
What am I doing wrong?
Is it still possible to add GMS as of October 20, 2021? Am I doing the correct method?

Install Google apps on Huawei Mate XS
I purchased the Huawei Mate XS back in August 2020 thinking it would be easy to install GAPPS but after trying for so long back then I gave up until giving it another go last week and I can now say this is the best phone I've owned so far...

Question OxygenOS 12 C.60

May 19, 2022:
OnePlus is starting rolllout of a new system update for the OnePlus 9 series. It comes with version C.60 and measures over 1.5GB.
The latest OTA brings a couple of multitasking improvements and adds some connectivity and gaming features. However, the May security patch is still not available for the phones. You can read the full changelog below.
Convenience & efficiency
You can now open up to 3 apps in floating windows at the same time in Split-screen mode and switch between Floating window and Split screen modes
You can now use the Clock app in Quick Return
Connectivity
You can now open up to 3 phone windows on your PC
Games
Adds the HyperBoost end-to-end frame rate stabilizer
Heterogenous graphics: Reduces gaming loads and power consumption (only for some games)
As always, this OTA will be incremental. It will reach a small percentage of users initially. A broader rollout should start in a few days.
To check if an update is available, head to Settings > System > System updates on your device.
India already with download link
[Update: Incorrect changelog] OnePlus 9 series receives fresh update with multitasking and gaming improvements
OnePlus is rolling out a new update for the OnePlus 9 series which brings a couple of multitasking and gaming improvements.
www.xda-developers.com

First rom with no gaming throttling.

India only. Miss the days when OnePlus would release one global rom or atleast global and India the same day.

It showed as a full rom over here, so you can jump directly from 11 to c60 and no need to go to 47 anymore.

from coloros c.62 to oxygen c.60 ?

It should work because Oxygen C.60 is 1 month newer.
But if you want to be shure do it like me.
I was on ColoOS C.61. I use OxygenOS rollback rom (This Wipe all in youre phone). Them got 2 updates up to C.47. End 2 days ago i got C.48 european...

I wonder if I flash the india C.60 ROM on my EU L2123 will it transform my device into an indian variant, or will it stay EU L2123 ?

My EU unit LE2123, i flashed the Global C48, no issues there. Yesterday when i flashed the Indian C60 the device is no longer certified under - Google PlayStore. Hence can't setup new cards. Cleared the Google Play services and playstore cache and data, rebooted the device but the issue still exists.
Any solution?
Device is non rooted and bootloader is locked.

It will still stay LE2123, but device may not be certified anymore. I did the same, rest all works well, only the device certification issue.

There is no workaround for that unless you Root your device and add the universal safety net magisk module and hide root afterward in Zygisk from play services and playstore.

thanks for your response, i'll wait for the next full OTA zip for either of the regions and then flash it. I don't wana root my device as its my primary driver.

Still no update other than in India for almost 2 weeks now. OnePlus really seems to only care about India now. All of their phones seen to have this issue now.

Anyone running this on a global 9 or 9 Pro unit? I flashed it and had to use the TMO COS/OOS data retention fix since it thought my device was dual SIM but I lost 5G and WiFi calling on T-Mobile in the process. Just curious if anyone was able to get these things working before I go through the arduous task of a factory reset. If not, I can live without them for now.
Edit: Cannot pass SafetyNet either. I have tried universal SafetyNet fix, I have tried Shamiko, and I have tried props config. I have only ever had to use the universal fix before so no idea why I can't pass the CTS Profile.
