Nokia 6 ta-1000

Thank you for the quick response. I will go ahead to do as suggested but I have these questions :

1. Please will I receive Updates spontaneously after I install the oreo or I will have to download and do it manually each time there are updates ?

2. By recovery mode, do you mean download mode? I don't know much about these things so I will be glad if you can outline some steps for me to follow in order to install the oreo through recovery mode.

Counting on ur usually support. Thank you.

Hi guys ,I am using TA 1000 with 8.0/and march patch..recently I get to know 8.1 has been released.

I want to know whether it is released for TA 1000 also...?? Else when it will be?? If already released kindly share both files which I can able to install via using SD card

Thanks in advance
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
Answer

1. Generally you won't get the updates directly, or you might be, depending upon region to region, the also hit once in a day if you jumped to next month and u didn't get the updates, else you can wait for OTA to be uploaded soon by any member or me.

But dont worry, i m also with the same situation but different varient.

I install then manuall, it doesn't matters if i install them 2-3 days later then everyone has it..its fine, works better..

So no need to worry

2. No recovery mode is not download mode.

Recovery mode is having a list of option to reboot, wipe your data, factory reset, update through sd card and etc...

To enter into recovery menu, follow these steps

A. Turn of your device completely.

B. Plug your charger and wait to see the offline charging animation.

C. Once you see the charging animation, press and hold volume up button and power button together.

D. Once you see the android boot logo, just release the power button but not the volume button.

E. After few seconds you will be at recovery menu.

F. Now select the update from sd card option on recovery menu and select the package of download file.

G. Done.

Note. To install the updates you will surely required the sd card

And the device will restart 2 time and process will done in three level so keep patience

Done.

Enjoy

I have ta-1000 flashed with ta-1003 firmware. Does anyone got the 8.1 update on OTA in Europe, I am in France but I find strange that we are 16 April and still no security update here or 8.1 update. I had previous security update via OTA on 8.0 ta-1003 firmware with no errors.

Surely, but with some bug
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] ozzienokia:
updated my TA-1033 to 00ww_5_220, tried to downgrade back to nougat so I could upgrade to Feb, but got continuous "no command" errors, it also wouldnt work if I tried to wipe or hard reset, somehow after 3hrs of trying various things, I got it back to 00ww_5_220. Wanted to upgrade to Feb (00ww_5_22A) but obviously you cant do that as you get even more errors. I suppose my main question is whether it will auto update having 00ww_5_220 or will I have to try something else?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
Do one thing,

Take December OTA from the thread, go to recovery

If u see no command

Hit these three button together

I.e. power button, volume plus button and fingerprint sensor together few times

Till u get the recovery menu

Once u get it goto option "update from sd card"

Goto sd card directory where u kept that file

Now install it

It will give u error, but dont get panic

Just reboot ur device

This time u will get the recovery menu but of nougat

And now u will be able to downgrade

Simple boot into bootloader and flash it wilh OST LA

Done, now after reseting your device

Goto to system update and u will find system update of oreo January or February directly

Dont worry, it wont create problem, just make sure ur. Connected to wifi

If it still dont download but the update appears

Just see what time it says that it will download the update on update page

Change ur time according to it and it will automatically start downloading

The preferred time mainly between 3:00 to 5:00 AM

So change it according to ur update settings

Now every time u install the update, u will find next update automatically

Done, u will be at ur official version of ta-1033

Just remember one thing, just install the mena firmware after downgrading the boot loader using December OTA, and after that when u update through system update, u will be on ur original TA-1033 not on mena which is 1025,

There fore u will enjoy the official one

With my experience the official are better than manual updates.

Remember donot install any update after it manually.

Done....

Hit thanks button if you find this useful

Happy flashing

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] ozzienokia:
The problems all started when I tried to downgrade to December, thats when all no command issues started, 3hrs of no commands, and not being able to upgrade, downgrade, or even hard reset. Finally managed to get it back working. So I really wont be mucking around with it again. the only reason I tried to upgrade was my TA-1033 was stuck on November 6th security update, and Nokia care didnt care that my phone wouldnt update.

So what I am asking is, will it auto update at some stage to the Feb security or even March if I leave it as is
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
Why u r hegitating about these procedures

Even i did the first option that i told u, i have been updated official after flashing the mena firmware

U just need to keep remember is, u have to install ota zip as monthly wise

Means like January or February oreo, then march then 8.1 then april

Or it will arive automatically if u flash mena firmware and u will be officially updated, just make sure u r on wifi network and have unlimited data to download the updates

Two things

1. If u install mena firmware and at system updates u get official updates, then u can install them directly..just press reboot and install on update setting when u finish downloading

2. If u wish to install manually

Goto recovery, if u see no command menu, do not panic, just press the power, volume plus and fingerprint sensor together few times, u will find the recovery menu, and then for each time u install any ota zip, before that first install December OTA zip and reboot to recovery again

Done, install the OTA zip of oreo February, march, 8.1 march, april monthly wise with nougat recovery menu

Bricked (soft) Nokia 6 TA-1033 solved - thanks

After trying to update from latest Oreo 8.0 with March security update to 8.1

It bricked my TA-1033,

using the trick of downgrading to 7.1.2 then upgrading to 8.0, Feb 2018 OTA rom unbricked it.

So thanks very much :)

RFC: I wonder why I am unable to upgrade to 8.1 though?

Answer to my RFC - I need to again downgrade to 7.1.2 bootloader so I can upgrade to 8.1 (after getting March 2018 security update)

will try & report back ;)

Using the 7.1.2 bootloader every time before an upgrade works, I am now on 8.1 with April 2018 security update :)

[MENTION=8736344]qwertysmerty[/MENTION] Uh, I tried to flash, i adb sideload (in recovery), but it stops at 71% and the phone restarts.

It goes straight to recovery, and I think I may ha bricked it.

It was encrypted, dunno how to fix.

It also had some warnings as "failed to parse" stuff.

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] qwertysmerty:
Sideloading does not work for Oreo updates properly. As long as you can boot boot into recovery it's not bricked.

Do you have SD card? Put December OTA and April OTA on SD card, then install December OTA from SD card to downgrade your recovery, December OTA installation will fail but that's OK. Reboot into recovery again, install April OTA from SD card.

If you don't have SD card, but still can boot into recovery you can try to sideload December OTA through adb. It should fail as well, reboot into recovery again. Try to sideload April OTA through adb. It may work.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Ufeldraku:
The November updates "fail" (sideload goes to 71% for both, and then the phone turns off)

Should I try to do those with SD card as well?

Also, yeah, I have sd card

April from 2017, right?

There is no April 2017, but 2018, which is Oreo 8.1?

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

December = Error, then April 2018, shows the Installing system update screen then charges a 1/3 of the bar and then goes Error! and reboots.

Dunno what to do...

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

I've installed November 1st, but it errored like the other tries, so I decided to install Oreo from January, the 3 reboots went through, and I see the Nokia logo now, hopefully it will turn on.

GOD AS i WAS WRINTING THIS IT TURNED ON I SEE THE SCREEN WELCOME OH GOD.

I am quite happy.

I will use the SnoopSnitch app to see if the updates' fixes work (it checks if updates actually patch issues on the phone, if it works then I guess I won't have to worry for some stuff)
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] qwertysmerty:
I thought you were on March update when you've tried to adb sideload April 2018 OTA and failed? Therefore I said to install April OTA again after December OTA. Most of the OTA updates are incremental and should be install in chronological order. The purpose of installing December OTA is to downgrade recovery from Oreo to Nougat, but after that you have to install update matching pre-conditions, e.g. April.

But installing January (or February) OTA works with any patch level since January OTA is the full system update rather than incremental. If you decide to proceed with installing OTAs using SD card you have to install them one by one in chronological order. And don't forget to downgrade recovery every time.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] qwertysmerty:
Snoopsnitch app is not accurate.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Ufeldraku:
Hmmm, will I have to downgrade *every* time? In the description, you said that but for February, oh well, Feb counts as a full system image as well, right?

Anyways, thank you.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

I thought it was accurate, I will have to do some research.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] qwertysmerty:

I tried to install May 2018 security update to my Nokia 6 TA 1033(Oreo 8.1 with April 2018 patch) in recovery mode. Now its stuck in Android logo.

Please help.

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

When I tried to install the patch in recovery mode (install from SD card) , no command screen with 3 dots at the bottom of screen (2

white & one black). After sometime its rebooting to no command screen.

I checked the pre-build requirements before I tried to install the patch.

I think I tried to install wrong OTA for my TA-1033.

In recovery mode window, its showing 8.1.0/0PR1.170623.026/00WW_5_58B.

How can I unbrick my phone now?

- Can I get a new OTA for TA-1033 which will match my build?

-Or will it be resolved if I wait for June OTA and install it?

Its strange,my wife's TA-1033 in India got May update last week OTA, and the build number is 00WW_5_580_SP02. Im in UK with a bricked phone with same build number.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] qwertysmerty:
Yes you have to. Install Nougat December patch from SD card in order to downgrade recovery, it will fail but that's ok. Reboot into Nougat recovery, then install May security update from SD card.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
I have a solution for you

To get official and regular update, u need to follow some steps

3. Goto recovery (stock one, if u dont have then flash the stock recovery through twrp) install December OTA zip, you will get error but dont worry, just reboot

4. if u now see the nougat stock recovery then u r downgraded the bootloader too.

5. Reboot into bootloader or download mode.

6. Install mena firmware( i know it shows ta-1033 in setting menu but internally its ta-1025)(just dony worry).

7. After flashing mena firmware, connect to wifi network and hit system updates, u will get the official 8.0.0 either January or February ota update directly.( Remember this official update will change your ta-1025 to ta-1033 internally and make u official again)

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] qwertysmerty:
Sorry, I have no and won't have it unless someone else provide links to other Nokia 6 models. I can get links only for my TA-1025, because of the way Android handles certificates after May security update.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] jaikn1985:
Can I use the OTA for TA-1025 on my TA-1033, since the build number is same??
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] qwertysmerty:
Yeah. You can use it.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] jaikn1985:
Will it change the model number of my phone? And whether it will cause any issues in future to get the official OTA's?

When I was in India, my phone was getting regular updates without any issues. I suspect its my carrier now in UK.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] qwertysmerty:
It won't change model name of your phone. I cannot guarantee it won't affect getting updates over the air.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
It will effect the future updates, u will need to install them manually

Therefore the only solution to get regular updates is to go back to the nougat, hit system update, u will get the oreo update, then regular updates officially...,

If you didn't install any ota zip manually by recovery then its worthy, you can factory reset and connect to wifi

Thanks for providing the links to the Nokia 6 OTAs [MENTION=8736344]qwertysmerty[/MENTION] - I had a TA-1025 stuck on 8.0 March and tried the usual tricks to try and get it to update (remove SIM + factory reset etc.) with no luck. Successfully flashed 8.1 and security updates to June via SD card.

Nokia 6... Getting mental with the frikin phone!!!

HELP pls, already tried mena route or manual flash and both end up going bonkers.

With mena route, installed december 7.1.2 OTA, flashed via OST mena firmware and up until now the phone works, it even (after a few validation errors) updates to FEV patch 8.0.0.

NOW, every time it tried to update to the march OTA the stupid thing spits out error mid update and only goes to recovery...

Am i doing anything wrong? This is the stupidest update procedures that the various brands have... geez...

[MENTION=6388185]sltushar[/MENTION], can u help? What can i do to force phone to accept the march OTA? :confused::confused:

EDIT: It's a TA-1021 btw...
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
You dont have to do any thing

Repeat this procedure again

I mention you that just do 2 things first

Install December OTA via recovery

Then flash mena firmware

After that when you returned to home of the android, go to setting and hit system updates, few times

Also make sure you are connected to good wifi, not with some hotspot or cellular data,

Once you finish installation of mena firmware, you will get direct oreo January update, after thay continued to February, then march, then march 8.1.0

Then april then may and then june, between this dont do anything else

One more thing keep you sim card out off device till you updated to june

Done
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] DannyDD:
The problem is that i've lost count of how many times i've already tried that...

Flashed via SD december OTA, flashed via OST mena firmware...

Rebooted to SO, started it, it tells me that i have an update (V5.22A) corresponding to google security patch 2018-02.

It starts downloading and installs almost every time correctly. After that tries to update to march 8.0.0 (150mb +/-), downloads, tries to update and in the middle of it just says ERROR and stops...

Any way i can force update at that point? or only option is to repeat it all again? Every time i repeat it needs to download 1.7gb rom... :crying::crying::crying:
