It happens on mine if i use the stock camera then go back to the Google Cam.its like the stock cam interferes with google cam such that i need a reboot to be able to take pics again.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
Thanks, so it doesn't seem like a factory reset would help. I don't think I used the stock camera though the last time it happened...yep and it just happened again. I picked up my N8, took a NS picture, no problem, viewed it, tried to take another one and...again refusing to record with some "blinking" of the shutter button. Stock app doesn't work anyore either. This is so annoying :(
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ssrki:
For me works fine
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
Works fine here too...until it stops working !

Also wWhat GCam are you using ? I was using CStark's P1/2/3 then switched to Arnova 1.5 and MDV106 uses Toyan009 as per his posts in the GCam for N8 thread.

With the Beta Pie and CStark's P1/2/3 never a single problem in months.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ssrki:
Think it is arnova, look screenshot and versionView attachment 4758315
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Correct, i use Tolyan009's 0.2b build of v6.2 and it works flawlessly until i use the stock cam to campare pics, then the camera will stop working and require a reboot. If i just use gcam only then i dont get any camera issues. I took a couple of pics on my way from work this evening just fine.

Just a quick update here.

I let my phone ran out of battery yesterday(Was out for the whole day and I didn't have a power bank with me at the time.).

I'm on the latest April update. But the phone still "loses" it's fingerprints when it shuts off due to low battery.

Nokia 8 received two MR after the release of Pie.

One in February with Digital Wellbeing, adaptive battery and brightness; one two weeks ago, in April, with compass and Ok Google hotword fixes.

How many MR do you want in a few months? :D
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Are you even surprised? Theresa nothing Nokia can do to make users of Nokia 8 happy at this point. The damage is done. They could release Android Q for it and consumers would find something negative to say. I dont feel sorry for them though since they are the reason their users dont have faith in them
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] foxbatul:
Please speak for yourself.

Nokia 8 it s the best buy .

dont mention the buid quality, performance and price !

at ~ 220 - 250 eur, 2 years warranty it's unbeateable.!

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rakaloah:
Got May security update on my TA-1052 (Pie, 5150), using VPN located in Hong Kong. Download size is 74.5MB.

Captured OTA link here https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/nokia_nb1_ta105200ww/b4a926251c6c39853c3dae5182f9f20effa1ac80.zip .

Happy sideloading my fellas. This is for TA-1052 but I guess it works for all variants.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Are the China updates the same as the global ones? I heard the software used in the chinese market is different.

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Allek84:
After may security gcam works well for me.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
it also doesnt work work for me. gives a "Error applying update: 20 (ErrorCode: :kDownloadStateInitializationError)
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
ok, well it looks like we're "stuffed", I wonder what could have happened...I suppose a backup of all the apps with Titanium and factory reset could help, or maybe a full reflash (downgrade to Oreo first) is required. Probably only worth it if some significant updates are made available in the future.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
[MENTION=9309516]THMSP[/MENTION], do you have any idea why the update fails to sideload for some users? I tried everything it just wont work on my phone
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
Installing random Magisk Modules that modify the system partition permanently, or mounting system as rw for example.

Sideload 5150 again (alternatively any other full OTA package), then install the update, then reinstall TWRP / Magisk.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
I highly doubt it given that i havent installed any Magisk module or tinkered with my system in months. But I will try again tomorrow.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
Same here, no Magisk Modules installed. Just 5.1.150 OTA -> TWRP -> Magisk for root and then flash stock boot on A and B but no OTA and no sideload.

Seems like the only option to try is to sideload 5150 then.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
reinstalled 5150 then tried to update to the latest one, it still didnt work. Something else must be an issue here.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
You reinstalled 5150 by sideloading the 1.5GB zip from stock recovery ?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Yes. Still didnt fix the may update error
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
Thanks, what's strange is that sideloading worked for 5150 and not for the May security update, it's probably not doing the same "checks". It still probably means that the partitions haven't been messed up if not 5150 would refuse to install, no ?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
I don't know, maybe the captured zip file is corrupt? I would love to try another that was captured using the TA-1012 model . If that too gives an error then I'll know the problem lies in the May update because no other update i tried gives an error
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
Ok let's hope this gets sorted, TA-1052 here
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
Did you shut down the phone and boot into recovery again after sideloading? Or did you just sideloaded the May update immediately? Because that won't work, as you would still be on the old slot, and not on the one that 5150 was just installed into.

Also, 5150 will always install as it is a full OTA. It doesn't require a base system that it can patch, it just overwrites it. Thats why I suggested to sideload it, because it will restore the system to stock.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Ha! This actually worked. I didn't think i'd need to switch the off and re-enter recovery. Thanks, I now have the May update installed :good:
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
I assume this is what its supposed to look like
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
Well that's good news ! Will give it a try as well.

Then to download the stock 5.1.151 boot image, patch it with Magisk, flash it to the unused slot, boot, patch the other slot, rebootand everything should be ready for the June update ;)
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] For_itembine:
I think I preferred Oreo 8.1, I have been rocking pie for months now but idk the phone is somewhat boring
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
No need to do it from inactive slot, just flash the patched image to the active one. The boot and then patch the other slot / the image on disk method is to avoid breaking wifi when you only have a mismatching prerooted image (without a steady supply of updated stock images)
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
Ah right, thanks for the detailed explanation ;)
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucian_Blue:

where in Greece? I want to see the Ioanian Sea!
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pabliell:
I was stuck for some time too, but there's a way.

1. Turn off the phone and remove the SIM card.

2. Turn on the phone, turn off the WI-FI and GPS, go to the apps & notifications and clear the cache and data of the following apps:

- Google App

- Google Framework

- Google Play Services

- Location Services

3. Restart the phone (Power off and on).

4. Turn on WI-FI and check for updates manually.

Worked for me, hope it will work for you too.

But if you don't get any updates this way either, you can try with a VPN after clearing apps cache. There's a plenty of free VPN apps in the Play Store.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5teve:
I have a ta1004 in Aus with 5.140 sp01 installed but try as I might I cannot get 5.150 to update via its.. it keeps saying I'm up to date.. when clearly I am not. I followed the previous posts method to no joy, tried VPNs etc etc and nothing. I use Google assistant a lot and this update is pretty important to me as I can use ok Google barely at all..

Steve
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajgftw:
Hey mate, I'm in Aus as well and I'm on 5.150 (TA-1012)

You'll just have to manually download and flash it via ADB or stock recovery as I'm pretty sure it hasn't been made available to Australia yet. My girlfriends Nokia 8 hasn't got it via official OTA yet either. Where as I manually installed it.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5teve:
Yep you are right I ended up doing the upgrade via recovery.. and as soon as I did it it found the may update.. which tells me that maybe we were forgotten. Spoke to Nokia and they reckoned it was cause my phone was destined for Nigeria! I bought it from DWI..

All good now

Steve
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajgftw:
Glad to hear you got it sorted.

It could also be the fault of the carrier's in Australia, they seem to often effect even unlocked devices receiving OTAs.

I've been manually updating my phone ever since I bought it just because Vodafone can be months behind in forwarding updates to users.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiwironic:
I'm currently very happy with the phone. Here are the things that are not very great about it :

losing fingerprints if the battery dies

having to flash a full rom everytime a security update is released (almost every month)

ghost touches without touching the phone

sensors issues, compass twitch, auto brightness, auto orientation issues

battery life is being worse, maybe I need to replace the battery

replacing the battery isn't that easy, finding a good one isn't easy at all

Also special thanks to Dorian Stoll (@THMSP I believe) for his great work and support.

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stauraum:
Same problems here on my TA-1012. Only the security updates are working like expected.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiwironic:
I forgot to mention the lack of custom roms. But it is not the fault of the phone itself, the Nokia 8 community is not motivated, mainly due to poor support from Nokia and stupid policies. They have released the kernel sourcecode (up to v5.150).

Maybe if someone is motivated enough to custom build a rom, I believe maybe a request to Nokia for Kernel source code, should not be an issue (at least I hope so). We can make sure the community pushes for it over twitter, reddit and petitions.

Why is this important. Android 9 is around the corner and I don't think we will get updated which is not ideal. From what I gather, the Nokia 8 crowd is mostly a simplistic enthusiast crowd (I believe), we want simple android stock experience backed by solid hardware. That's it.

What do you think?

Great so another OTA that won't install over a Magisk Rooted N8 !

I uninstalled Magisk by doing "restore image" but still the installation of the OTA fails...I suppose a clean flash of 5.150 might be required again. Weird...
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Did you reflash the stock boot IMG? Cause it wont ever work without it
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stransky:
TA-1012 UK Just got June security patch.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
No but I uninstalled Magisk via the Magisk Manager and restored the image, I thought that would do the same thing ?

If it's not would the process be :

- Flash stock boot image on current slot, say B

- Do the OTA

- Reboot to bootloader

- switch to A

- flash patched stock boot image on A and boot

- install Magisk to other slot

- reboot ?

Thanks !

Process to install security updates on rooted Nokia 8

Process to install security updates on rooted Nokia 8

Download the Nokia 8 OTA zip files on your Computer from this link in the OTA folder https://bit.ly/nokia-nb1 (it's usually up to date)

Download the Nokia 8 latest FULL ROM OTA zip file on your Computer from this link in the

OTA

folder https://bit.ly/nokia-nb1 (usually with size above 1 GB, currently it is: NB1-5150-0-00WW-B03-update.zip 1.52 GB)

Connect the phone to the PC using the USB cable and enable USB debugging (after enabling developer options)

Verify connection and drivers are correct on your computer by using the following ADB/Fastboot command(minimal adb fastboot can be found here https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790):

If you see your device and ID then all good so far

Use the following adb command on your Computer

Alternative to the previous step, you can select ADB sideload from the stock recovery menu after booting into stock.

when the device reboots into bootloader / or ADB sideload is selected from recovery use this command on your computer:

Once loaded, reboot using the command

Sideload the OTA updates you have downloaded in step 1 using the same process as before

OR

Update normally through android system settings. Keep updating and restarting until you have the latest update

Download the latest Nokia 8 Stock boot image file on your phone from this link in the

STOCK BOOT

folder https://bit.ly/nokia-nb1 (it's usually up to date)

Make sure you have the correct Stock boot image file for the the software version you have. (if you have May update, use May image, June update then use June Image, etc....)

Use magisk manager to root the boot image you just downloaded. Use the second option like in the photo below

Transfer the patched image file to your computer

Get back to bootloader (download mode) using any method or the below code (USB debugging on)

When in download mode, use the following command on your computer and take note of the result (in case something goes wrong)

Use the following command:

Reboot

Enjoy

Wait one more month

Repeat

Have you done it yourself? As I posted above step 7 (or the equivalent with update from recovery) didn't work because it was seen as a downgrade, which was forbidden. Now something else might be messed up on my phone.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
I would flash Magisk on the slot with the latest update.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiwironic:
Yes, that's what I did for the May security update. The full Rom side-load did not complain at all. Did not have to wipe anything as well.

I will confirm testing this on June update once the new boot images is uploaded to the https://bit.ly/nokia-nb1 repository. Did anybody manage to capture the OTA file? or extract the boot image?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
May would have been ok since you were flashing over the original 5.1.150 but for June you're probably going to get the "downgrade not allowed" message like I did using "Update from file" from Recovery.

[MENTION=9663492]MDV106[/MENTION] - thanks but wouldn't that break WiFi with the June stock boot not being available yet ?

PS - can the boot image be backed up without TWRP ?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiwironic:
I confirm it is working with June update. It will give an error being a downgrade, but it will restock your images which is what you want. Update after this in system went successfully and flashing patched boot image was also successful.

The stock june boot image and update OTA can be found here:

https://bit.ly/nokia-nb1

Thanks to Dorian Stoll

YES, just unpack your OTA zip file using python, you will get the stock images. Here is a guide from the Nokia 7 plus forums:

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiwironic:
I want to also confirm that returning to the full rom "NB1-515A-0-00WW-B01-5150-0-00WW-B03-update.zip" after the june update with adb side load is successful without even getting an error.

I did it again to confirm it works :D

All good then ! When I tried to flash 5.1.150 via recovery I did get Step 1/2 after the "downgrade not allowed" message so maybe it would have completed if I hadn't rebooted with a long press on power. In retrospect it looks like I could have messed things up !

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
OnePlus 7 Pro. It's still my second-best device so if my OP fails I will probably use it untill I get the other one repaired. But I probably won't daily drive it anymore.

And no, it won't be EOL in a few months. It will still receive security updates and maybe smaller fixes until September 2020. Although given the amount of software HMD has to maintain they should probably kill it earlier and clean up their portfolio.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
I didnt know it will still get updates until 2020. Thats good news for those who cant switch to other phones yet
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pabliell:
HMD promised 2 years of system updates and 3 years of security updates from launch for all their phones. But yeah, I think it would be best to just have a few fixes here and there and drop the support. I don't really wanna go through the same types of bugs they gave us with Pie.
