You seem new, or the device is. Once you start seeing the burn on the screen and it will happen and it WILL annoy you so much, you will HAVE to root to fix it. Personally I cannot stand ads, so it's essential for me to root to get rid of ads, especially on youtube

here are some examples of the so called (screen burn) which is just image retention:

I have the device from August 2018. Till now i had the famous half static display after 2 weeks from buying (sent to service).
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiwironic:
I can assure you the solution I suggested worked for me (for red image retention anyway). Root is needed though. All phones that use LG made screens have this issue sadly
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ILoveAndroid77:
Yes I know it alternates and so on. But afaik (now) it uses the current slot to apply the ota and writes it to the other slot.

So the updater complains about the boot image of the current slot.

What I did now (I think "a bit" less complicated than your way":

- download stock boot from bit.ly/nb-1 for current security patch february

- use magisk manager to patch stock with magisk

- go to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)

- check active slot

- flash stock boot from february to active slot

- reboot

- apply ota (now it works)

- DO NOT APPLY "REBOOT" after OTA finishes

- instead: "adb reboot bootloader"

- check active slot - should still be the same! (if apply reboot would have been used, it would be the other now)

- flash magisk patched boot image to active/same slot as above

- reboot

- use magisk manager to "install to inactive slot"

- after install: reboot using magisk manager

Now the former other slot is active with march and patched magisk. worked for me.

I was stupid enough to break my screen a while back. I ended up needing to get a new replacement screen last November. It wasn't cheap at all (Approximately $100 USD from an authorized Nokia Care Centre). I was obviously not happy about it, but the thought that the new screen may end up having the same problem isn't making this whole situation any better.

As expected, right now the replacement screen's showing image retention again. I'll just have to live with it then.

(I'm not gonna root my phone as it's my main device. I know you can hide your root from some apps that does not allow root, but my days of experimenting with rooting devices are more than over and I just don't want to go through the hassle just for the sake of making my screen look normal. )
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] uchihakurtz:
Wow, even my 3 year old Galaxy Note 4 hasn't shown any burn ins. I think Nokia is deliberately ignoring Nokia 8, the compass issue, crappy camera app, continuous auto focus, aggressive RAM management, etc... I bought the Nokia 8 expecting the best experience from Nokia yet somehow got treated worse than their midrange devices, look at all the new features they all have while we're stuck with beta version of Pie.

I'm ditching my Nokia next week.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiwironic:
I sympathise with you fully. That sentence though, made me laugh hard, why do we keep putting up with this stuff from companies. Normal screen is not too much to ask for :D
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Did they ever bother to update the glance display features so as to include other app notifications?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Also, does sideloading an update erase the data of the phone? Is it necessary to do a backup?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
It doesn't. Sideloading is exactly what your phone does when it recieves an OTA update from within Android, except that you supply the .zip file manually through the commandline.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchst2:
Can confirm this. Updated mine manually using your files thanks.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shashankkp12:
Does it solve the image retention issue or just the pink hue on the edge of the screen issue?.. If it does solve the image retention issue i would be very much inclined to root my device ..
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiwironic:
Both, it turns it into a normal functional screen again. No hue nor image retention.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shashankkp12:
Thanks ,will try
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiwironic:
Galaxy devices use AMOLED displays which degrade and physically burn, this one cannot be fixed using a software, the one we have is different, just problems with image retention common to LG made lcd in our Nokia 8.

I'm thinking about the realme 3 pro. I'm done with flagships offering way less than expected for the price. Also my device battery has degraded badly and I want a mid ranger with above average battery life.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stransky:
I have a Nokia 8 and have no screen retention also I am on Android 9 PIE official not beta. I never tried the beta and got my Android PIE via

OTA although I had to wait until last month for it. So maybe being on beta precludes getting stable PIE via OTA and you need to download and sideload it.

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyrusct82:
Are you in build 5.11 or 5.14?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ssrki:
V 5.11 beta
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyrusct82:
I don't understand why HMD is doing this. March update first for 5.14 and then for 5.11 instead of updating it at 5.14.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ssrki:
Me too, probably they make some misstake and don't know how to include beta in update process
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyrusct82:
Maybe they don't want to offer another 1.5gb update.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
Well, as I understand it, the official way to get the beta users on mainline again was the 5140 (february) update, which didn't depend on a build X being installed before being able to install it. Instead it replaced all partitions on the slot it was installed into (hence why it was 1.5 GB in size), replacing the beta firmware on phones with the mainline one.

HOWEVER: With carriers possibly withholding 5140, or the rollout being possibly broken for some regions, or for other (random?) reasons we don't know, it doesn't seem possible for HMD to get some of the users out of the beta release cycle. Instead of just ignoring those users it makes sense to release seperate security patches for those on 511A, since those are more likely to pass carrier verification than another full release.

mcdona922 user from the Nokia Phones Community captured the link of the latest OTA (build 5.150) and posted here.

If the community moderator will remove the link: https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../42324ce09b13a064d2677f0ebf7bba2713632dcb.zip

EDIT: The zip is about 1.5GB big. The user of the Nokia Phone Community said that he was on Android 8.1 and received this update that should be the full firmware.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stuffynet:
Applied the update from recovery. Worked like a charm. Before I had 5.140 March update
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alberto4:
If the update was meant for jumping from Oreo to latest build of Pie, is it ok to be applied on 5.140_SP01?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cri347:
A user from Nokia Community said that he applied this update on 5.140 and it work well. If you read the answer before yours in this thread, the thing is confirmed. It's a full firmware OTA so it should install on any previous build.

Personally I haven't yet tried to install it because I want to see if the update will arrive automatically or something is wrong, since I have been forced to install them manually for three months.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alberto4:
Thanks! I haven't noticed the other reply

I'm planning to do the exact same thing as I sideloaded February and March (I hope I won't be needed to sideload April too)

I asked just to know.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimifoti:
Is the compass fixed in the new update?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
I added the OTA .zip file and the stock boot image for 5150 to my collection of images & stuff at https://bit.ly/nokia-nb1

As previously said, it is a full OTA, which can be applied regardless of the current state of your system. Even if you modified the system partition, or installed nougat, or whatever - you could apply this through stock recovery and end up with a clean install of 5150.

If you are on the beta build you might want to do this before HMD stops the rollout again for you, or does some other weird stuff, lol.

If you want to root 5150, either use my generic TWRP image or take the stock image, preroot it in Magisk Manager and flash it to boot via. fastboot.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chios01:
hello, if I have this version TA -1004

00WW_5_140_SP01

with 1 March security level can I install this 5150 update?

I saw it has 1.5 GB and the latest security update 255 MB.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mastamike:
I've just have sideloaded (via micro SD and stock recovery) and yes compass is fixed this time.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kosmatyj:
Hello! Is your generic TWRP image compatible with the latest ROMs? As I understood it built from Oreo 8.1 sources so how it can be compatible with new firmwares. Or I`m wrong? Thank you.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
That's because TWRP (or any recovery for that matter) are not based on Android. Instead they are small, generic, Linux based operating systems that understand enough about Android to modify it. They also reuse some of the low level components of an android system, this is why you build them inside of an android source tree. Using Oreo to build these components simply gives better results for our phone (when you build TWRP in a pie environment it won't boot unless you disable decryption for example). Other parts of it, like the core recovery and the kernel use more up to date sources from Android 9, which works just fine.

TL;DR: Yep, works just fine on newer and older firmwares.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
What do you mean by clean install? All my settings and system tinkering will be wiped away once i side load form v5140?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
Any modification that you made to the system or boot partition gets overwritten. This is nothing particularly new for updates on rooted phones, since the other, differential OTAs require a clean system to even install.

Your data stays there of course but you will need to reinstall Magisk and any non-systemless changes you made.

can I install the OTA using twrp? or I must flash the stock recovery first?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Flash stock recovery of your corresponding security patch version, sideload using adb or stock recovery, boot to bootloader, then flash TWRP again...then reflash magisk via TWRP (assuming u had root before update)
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pecholino:
doing that while writing this. thanks:)
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
This thread is surprisingly quiet lately. I expected a lot more responses about the compass that is supposedly fixed now that the April update is out. Or maybe not many are aware the update is out?:confused:
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] szabolcs5757:
I haven't recieved OTA update for a while but i sideloaded the april update and it works perfectly. The most important thing for me is that the compass is finally fixed.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cican49:
I assume for the majority of user only wait for the OTA update to arrive, they can't be bothered updating manually
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hem981:
That's true. I sideloaded a pie update a while back, and then the otas later failed to install. I had to flash back to oreo and then update to keep otas installing again.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] szabolcs5757:
But did you get the updates and just failed to install? I'm asking because I've sideloaded the Pie update too but since then I haven't recieved major OTA update, only security patches (which installed perfectly).
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hem981:
Yup, i got the updates, they download but fail to install every time.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cri347:
Has anyone outside the UK and with the global dual SIM variant received the 5.150 update?

It seems that until now the update is limited to the UK and the global single SIM variant, regardless of the build of origin (the update came both to those who were on Oreo and to those who had the 5.140).

I had the 5.110 beta with the December security patches; it updated automatically to the January security patches and got stuck on this build, so I sideloaded the 5.140 OTA zip file. Last week I sideloaded the 5.140_sp1 build and now I'm on this.

(TA-1004 in Italy with TIM, I suppose that TIM delays the updates because of VoLTE support).

a pie salute to all Nokia 8 users. the last stand my security was patch from November with Android 8.1. my bootloader is locked, without root. all original. got me since a long time on Android P pleased and was initially skeptical whether the update perfectly safe and secure works. got me both files downloaded and the update with the keys code *#*#874#*#* started as it in your instructions stands. first, the December patch install, then restart, then has my Nokia 8 TA-1020 independently said update available. everything has smoothly and without problems works. top THX

First, I installed the smaller file, this is the December security update. When the installation is done, the device asks to restart now or later. When the reboot is done my device reported a system update is available, this is the larger file (Android Pie). Updated the device rebooted. (Have both files copied to the phone memory)

So far I am very happy that I can now stream to any TV or similar. Previously, it was only on Chromcast and now, for example, it works on Samsung Smart TV. Bluetooth and WiFi Direct has also improved greatly in terms of compatibility with other devices. And visually, my Nokia 8 has also improved. Everything seems tidier and everything in the right place. Thanks to all who made the effort to make it possible.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevoBulwa:
2 screenshots from developer options with me. I have not tested it with Apt-x yet, but I think it will work as I have not been able to connect any other device to stream before. everything works now.

and finally my Samsung Gear 360 is running via Bluetooth and WiFi.

At least they notify that they're gonna miss the deadline. Other companies would have just let the date pass in silence.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajgftw:
Agreed. And that's after they already provided the November due date in the first place, which was much more commitment than many companies would ever provide.

Personally I quite satisfied with Nokia/HMDs turn around on updates.

Sure, they didn't quite make the date they set, but I'd rather have them setting public deadlines and trying to meet them then just giving customers the old "it's coming soon"

And also, their security updates are much better than other companies. When I had a p10 lite, Huawei we're terrible at security updates, often getting months behind with them.

I can say, that because of this update, I have changed my mind about selling the phone. The battery is improved (evenwell battery stuff removed) and it doesn't kill any apps too soon like it used to.

So far, I haven't experienced any bugs. I never used (and never will) the music equalizer though.
