The one posted here is 2.8.417.4, I am currently on 1.32.617.30. How do I use it for my system?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
You have to use twrp to restore your system image to stock using the backup clsA provided. Then you have to flash stock recovery, which can be found easily in any number of thread around here, then you can update to 2.8 using either ota update or by placing the update file on your external storage, renaming it to OPJAIMG.zip and booting to recovery.

Pretty much every thread titled something like dev edition update has instructions on how to do the things I'm writing about and the twrp thread has information on restoring the unmodified system image.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
The older system img is here > https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550813

and the matching stock recovery is here > https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550761
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
Yours is still showing as 2 GB, which is why i thought it must have been an incomplete upload. My dev edition system image backup is 4.5 GB. Any idea why mine is so much bigger?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
yeah I emailed the site host ..the file downloads as 4.4gb and the MD5 I put in the notes is correct

it's a webhost error the file is fine

for Torque, music, and recording video. I'll just leave it plugged in all day. I have issues with batteries overheating and bloating from the hot internal temps.
[General Topics] v7:
This is such a stupid question.

In case if there's such a device and you keep it plugged all the time ,it'll cause much more trouble than overheating.It'll burn down the device.

Tapped from my furious dogo ;)
[General Topics] Planterz:
Phones aren't designed to work that way. Just find an older phone with a removable battery (if it blows up, a new one should cost ~$10 or less), or an old laptop.
[General Topics] rancur3p1c:
what? why? no, it won't. The reason it's been shutting off is because the battery was getting too hot.

I -have- an older phone with removable battery and the battery bloats due to temperature within 3 days in the summer. I've been through 3 and saved the fourth just so I could still boot it
[Sprint LG G3] ObviousMan:
I have rooted stock LS990 on ZV8. I got the OTA upgrade to ZVA, but it would not install with an error. I am getting the same error also via ADB or SD-Card:

"/system/bin/install-recovery.sh" has unexpected contents.

Error in /sideload/package.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted

Not sure what is wrong with either that package or my G3?

If anyone has applied this update without problems, please let me know. I want to know if something is not right with my device.

OM
[Sprint LG G3] Jimmy50941:
You have to have stock recovery to use the update.zip. do you have twrp?
[Sprint LG G3] ObviousMan:
Everything is stock. No custom recoveries, no custom rom. It is just rooted. When ZV8 OTA came it installed just fine.

[XDA Assist] FernandoQuantRS:
Hi guys, i really need help to fix a friend's phone.

He has a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit t599n, with the stock rom, without a custom recovery but rooted.

The problem is that he got a malware (com.nb.superuser) and for getting rid of it we did a hard reset on the phone, but, after rebooting it it starts the Setup Wizard, but after choosing the time and date and tapping into next it says "Samsung Setup Wizard has stopped" and it throws the phone back to the language selection.

We have tried not changing any setting, reseting the phone, making another factory reset.

So far i have searched for bypassing the wizard with no results, i have also searched for how to install a recovery using adb (for installing a custom rom latter), but the other problem is that when i plug the phone into the pc it beeps but the pc doesnt detect it (yes, i have installed the drivers), kies doesn't, and odin doesn't either.

So, any suggestion? some way of bypassing the wizard?, or maybe installing a recovery, or maybe something else?.

[Moto X Q&A] hugh a:
i have a xt1060 4.2.2 thats stuck in demo mode, when i say stuck i mean stuck, i first tried a clean flash with rsd to 4.2.2, it flashed with success but to my amazement when it booted it was still in this demo state with an bar code app on the home screen, i also tried to rsd to 4.4, 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 but all failed flash, i tried to mfastboot to 4.4.2 which all steps loaded and got the okay but when i rebooted it was the same 4.2.2 with this weird bar code app, it will not function with a sim card data or phone but will function with wifi, imei is clear.

any one got any ideas how to get a functioning os installed:confused: all input welcomed
[Moto X Q&A] ConstantHero:
I've never had to use it but maybe try Sunshine to unlock the bootloader since you're still on 4.2.2. Install a recovery and flash a custom ROM. Gain full access to your 1060.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GALAXY925t:
I have a Galaxy S6 Edge 925T Android version 5.02 and my provider is T-mobile.

Before installing custom ROM should I get a SIM card from T-mobile (mine is too big does not fit) and then upgrade my phone to Stock Android 5.11 via settings page.

OR

Skip going to t-Mobile and just install TWRP bootloader & modem to my stock 5.02. then flash my ROM (XXU2BOFJ V.2.0 Final Lollipop 5.1.1) Then bring my phone to t-Mobile and get a new SIM card.

Thank you

Why you don't cut your SIM... ? and them update to 5.1.1... with OTA or donwload your ROM from sammobile.com .... ?

*The Zenfone 2 Laser has it's own forum available here: http://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser

This is a comparison chart from indianexpress comparing some of the different models:

[IMG="comparison"]http://images.indianexpress.com/2015/04/asus-zenfone-2-comparison.jpg[/IMG]

All of these devices share this subforum, but most of the development is targeted towards the Z00A and the Z008.

This list will be updated as more devices are released by Asus and make their way onto the forum.

There is a newbie friendly thread dedicated to asking questions here, but you can post any question in its own respective thread here.

OTA Updates

These are the smaller, OTA packages. Do not use this if you are rooted. If they do not appear automatically on your phone, you can download the corresponding OTA and update your phone manually by placing the OTA zip on your SD card renaming the OTA zip to:

MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip

Then go into the stock recovery by holding the volume up key while powering it on. Once the phone vibrates, release the Power Key but continue holding Vol Up. Then click Vol Down until the Box in the top says "Recovery". Click the Power button once to install it. Don't forget to delete the update after it is finished.

Older OTA Updates List

Pre-Root Firmware

These are generally used to restore the /system of a rooted phone before applying an OTA update. Having a modified /system often will lead to a bootloop, so flashing the Pre-Root system.img and other parts is recommended.

Be careful to choose the correct model and firmware on the right.

Use WinRAR to connect all of the system.img parts together.

This method actually worked for me when I rooted with the one-click tool. It also keeps root after update.

It caused some people to bootloop who had modified lots of parts on their /system and deleted lots of apps. Best to be safe and flash the pre-rooted images first.

The unfortunate thing is that certain apps revive after an Ota.

The way that the update-script in the OTA works is that it checks the integrity of the /system apps and then installs a newer version of it that is included in the OTA.

I simply put the downloaded the full official firmware, put in micro sd without renaming. The device will auto detect and give notification to proceed with update. Though i use root method 3, i prefer unroot and reboot once. It's painful but I did this step by step til i get to the latest, which was 2.20.40.90 at the time. I successfully flashed official small ota delta package 2.20.40.90->2.20.40.97 by renaming it to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip, without unroot.

We should have a Cross development Oem thread like Sony Devices
[ZenFone 2 General] MikeChannon:
Well maybe. Isn't this forum already a sort of cross device development forum. Several variants already in here?

The danger can be that we split things up too much into different places and then instead of making things easier, users have to check different forums instead of one.
