Hello, I have a question. When I unlock the bootloader on my nokia 1 plus, I get an alert or message saying that I have unlocked the bootloader every time I turn on the phone, is that normal? how do I remove that?

Greetings guys,

I want to extract apk's from Open Beta zip files on my PC. Is it possible and how?

I tried opening everything with 7-zip but couldn't find anything.

Thanks
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] M.Tullius:
I'd like to understand better how OTA udpates are distributed.

The specific model I'm interested in is TA-1045, as sold by Best Buy (unlocked) in the US (TA-1045 BLACK SKU:6219312), but the principle applies more broadly.

My intention is to buy the phone and later use it in Europe with some European carriers (I do not care about 4G frequencies, but do care about security updates very much).

It seems that OTA updates have to be approved by the carrier, even for unlocked phones, and there's the risk that a given firmware/model will never be approved by a given carrier, so my question:

what are the relevant data needed to determine whether a given model of Nokia 6.1 will receive timely OTAs with a given carrier (perhaps a carrier located in a country it was not originally marketed for)?

(A small unrelated rant is that this situation, with me even asking this question, is abysmal and embarassing for whoever is responsible for the process, either the carriers or the manufacturer, etc.)

Many thanks in advance.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] qwertysmerty:
It's trial and error. You won't get a definitive answer on your question. Some carriers approve updates only for models marketed in their region while others approve for all (I guess that depends on specific country regulations). You can take your US sim in Europe and use it for checking for updates, just download them over WiFi.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JordanFromIT:
I would be doing the payment plan, not buying the entire device at once. I made the mistake of switching to verizon today and buying one, but after multiple calls to support they will not unlock the bootloader(I don't think they can either, its probably set with a factory image).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
If it is purchased from the Google Store you can unlock the bootloader whether paid for outright or financed with their bank partner, Synchrony.

The Verizon version, purchased from Verizon or Best Buy CANNOT be unlocked.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JordanFromIT:
Thank you for the response! I do have one follow-up question; If I put the phone on Verizon's network will it lock the bootloader?

I made the mistake of not researching before I bought one from Verizon this past weekend and ended up returning it, at a financial loss of $150. I just purchased one directly from Google yesterday.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
No, using the phone on Verizon will not lock the bootloader or prevent you from unlocking it in the future.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] parakleet:
My wife is rooted on Verizon.

I am rooted on Visible.

No issues.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
At the Google store you can but the Verizon version. Don't do that, get the Google version.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JordanFromIT:
Success! I'm rooted with a custom ROM after purchasing the phone from Google(unlocked version) and putting it on Verizon. I nearly had a heart attack in the Verizon store upon my first boot when "OEM Unlocking" was greyed out. Thankfully I just had to connect to WiFi, wait a couple minutes, then relaunch the settings app. :D
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
Yes the phone has to check the IMEI against a database to determine if unlocking is allowed as the hardware and software are more or less identical out of the box.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Bramton1:
I am looking to buy a Pixel 3a after my original Pixel went swimming. I use Verizon, but I want to buy from the Google Store vs. the Verizon store because I want to be able to unlock the bootloader. The monthly price at both the Google and Verizon stores are nearly equal. But I have a few questions, if anyone could help.

1. I see on the Google Store, I can buy a carrier-unlocked phone or a phone with the Verizon sim card. Is this the same model phone for both options, or is the pone with the Verizon sim card the same as buying directly from Verizon?

2. If I need to get the carrier-unlocked model, how difficult is it to get the phone activated through Google?

3. I am leaving for vacation on July 31st. The Google Story offers free shipping, but how long does it really take?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] pasha_d:
1. It would be the same as unlocked, but the option to unlock bootloader is disabled in Developers options.

2. Unlocked model could be activated on any supported Carrier by inserting SIM card. It can't be simpler than that.

3. Both 3a models I ordered from Google came in less than 4 business days.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Toilet Paper:
I am in Canada, and ordered from Google Store instead of my carrier.

Google shipped it really quickly. I think I got it in 2 business days from what I recall, if not, it was 3. The only downside I saw from Google Store is that if you want to return the phone, you need to cash out some restock fee and only gives you 15 days (I see this on both US and Canadian Google Store site policies).

I didn't get it from the carrier, as I discovered that purchasing your phone give you more benefits, such as:

- Well, as you noted, fully unlocked.

- No ugly carrier logo on the device.

- Negotiating power on your plan, at any time, as you are not under a yearly contract, and you can switch to the competitor with great ease the next day, pretty much. (This is more important to me, as in Canada our mobile service operators, is just as bad the US internet service providers. Backed by a government institution that say that competition is bad for Canadians, and some carriers chargers 10$ just for calling, and hope you don't get disconnected or hang up on you). Thanks to this, I have a plan and price that is simply unmatched.

Hope this helps
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Bramton1:
So I ordered the unlocked Pixel 3a. Last question. Will inserting the Verizon SIM card before I unlock the bootloader make the bootloader unable to get unlocked?

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mercifool:
Hello guys. I need some help.

While updating through odin, it crashed, now my device only display "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"

When i install smarts swtich, it ask me for emergency code from previous pc, but i dont have any code. any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Geekser:
something like this happened to me and I was told to go ahead and try to install again in ODIN - that even though it doesn't say it is in download mode, it will still install las it normally is supposed to. So I opened odin and added the stock rom I wanted - plugged my phone into the USB and hit start in odin and it installed fine.

That worked for me - hope it works for you - Good Luck

i have a unlocked note 8 that i recently updated to pie and i am trying to change the CSC to t-mobile. i do have the options of wifi-calling and volte but they dont seem to work. my current CSC is XEF/XEF/BTU. will flashing just the CSC file from t-mobile note 8 firmware make it work or end up in a brick?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BluePhnx:
No you'll brick your phone! To different soc's and file systems.

You'll have to root your phone and flash a csc detonator zip file with the moded csc files for usa market to work on an international SM-N950F phone.

But if you'll do root your phone you'll lose Samsung pay and secure folder for GOOD! Also it will wipe your storage so BACKUP first if you go that route.

Tried to flash but no success can some one put up proper kdz file to flash thanks in advance.........
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] moonraker7:
Having spent hours trying to work out how to flash this properly, the final result was worth it - very smooth with no issues so far. Everything is at your own risk etc, but here's my method:

Your phone needs to be updated to the most recent Oreo firmware F800L20K. When LG Bridge failed for the second time, I downloaded the kdz from https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/19276/F800L20K_00_0314.kdz and used Uppercut with LGUP (upgrade option to avoid losing data).

Download the Pie OTA file from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1khVQIt3sghED_N5dHaZsap_Rnm53WhLs/view If there's been too many downloads, add it to 'My Drive' then make your own copy.

To flash, follow the exact instructions and use the linked files at https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/guide-how-to-update-lg-v30-h930ds-to-t3943698 I ended up uninstalling the previous (newer) LG mobile driver and LGUP MSIs on my PC, then reinstalled using the files as instructed.

Except you need to replace the DLL file ( named "LGUP_Common.dll" ) in this directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common". If there isn't the common folder, create it and copy the DLL file inside.

You can find the DLL file by extracting LGUPc.dll from the above F800L20K kdz, and then re-naming it "LGUP_Common.dll" Alternatively you can download it from https://mega.nz/#!isFnzKZZ!n3KxOEVqTWQ2kKoEkDSxTdEdAVtIn-AKe6LCS_bfuXE
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] reza_xdv:
Can you dump all of the partitions except userdata and upload them? I asked two people but they couldn't do that because of the dll issues.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] moonraker7:
Patched LGUP appears to require the DLL for the new Pie version F800L28a and without a kdz, I don't know how to find this?

Here are a few pictures

Counting today is 3 days testing the beta, and I really liked the endurance of the battery, despite the 3200 mah, it endures quite well. At the time of installation the mobile was slow, it was because I was updating everything at once, but it was only that moment. Fast loading also works quite well. At the moment in general quite happy and wanting more updates.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ins3ne33:
I really want to try this out (I am on WETA rom and I love it) F800S, but the main issue I am not switching yet is, because of ghosting. My V20 has severe ghosting issue which can only be fixed with changing the color values and I can't do that. Not to mention, losing the ability to root.

If there is any advanced users that can get their hands on it, we might be able to hit the jackpot.

Hello, on the website mylgphones.com just uploaded this file LG-F800L-20K-to-28g.up. I tried to flash it, but I couldn't, I'm in 28a. If you dare it is available, but from 20k (android 8) to 28g (android 9). Read first I have to tell you that the one that worked well for me with lgup was this one; LGF800L-V28a-LGU-KR-JUL-29-2019 + 0, logically from android oreo 20k.

So it is assumed that the mobile you have it in version f800l20k? If you are interested I can send you a text file by email, so you can read what I did, I just installed the v30a version.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Khermedzz:
Yes i am on the f800l20k build and the tedt file would be great because ive followed every instructions I could find although majority of the instructions were to solve lgup problems whih works fine for me but hoprfully yours work
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] bernavaldiesel1:
basically what I have done is downgrade from 28A to 20k by directly opening lgup store frame 1.14.3 dll 1.0.36.x, then I have let the phone restart and everything is updated, then I have opened uppercut with the mobile on and it has been updated. It takes a while while it flashes at 4%, the blue letters appear on the screen "easy fota update", while that image came out, I hit the back button and it has returned to the main screen, it has taken about 2 minutes and it has started update I hope it helps you.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Khermedzz:
Ok I will try that method hopefully it will work (fingers crossed)
