Update Elephone P9000, yes or no? - Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi - A month ago Elephone released OTA update 6.0_20160810
Is it safe?
On their forum, you would think that it's bricking/breaking every phone it touches. Is this true? Are people updating to it OK? (Is it worth updating to it?)
Is there any tips to make it work? (Does OTA work less well than updating via USB?)
Cheers, R.

Ha!
A really smart poll would have asked if it worked OK.
Pls leave a quick comment saying what update method (OTA or USB) you used and:
Yes it worked
or
Update didn't work - My phone's a paperweight.​

USB, worked absolutely fine for me.

Cool, let's hope we see lots like that!

Well, 20160810 OTA worked fine for me.
Is there also a version 20160818 OTA?

Doh!
20160818 is a typo - should be 20160810

Ahhh! I've seen people mention removing the SD card. I don't think I'll OTA it, but if I do, I'll definitely remove the card!

The question was: is the update via ota working (brick and that stuff) not about problems with the performance.
Update via ota is working without problems, the performance problems are on the Other Hand.
Gesendet von meinem P9000 mit Tapatalk

I just did an USB update, took the SD (and SIM) card out.
Worked perfectly, but took a minute or two before it was finished booting. (Not a fault, it's just important to be patient - don't switch it off because you think the process has failed!)
I'm exchanging it for another P9000 (the touchscreen isn't sensitive enough, even without a screen protector).

Update Today....

I received, I assume, what is a pre-mango update. 7.0 (7392)...anyone else get it? I assume the full Mango is days away?
Yeah, I hooked up my phone to my PC, and received 7392 (hoping it was Mango). It wouldn't find any more updates, so I just forced the Mango update via this method: http://www.wpcentral.com/force-mango-update-early-through-zune-software
FYI, I have the Verizon Trophy...

Yep, worked for me too on unbranded trophy. But no differences from the leaked ROM that I flashed a couple of weeks ago.
Worked for me as well. Dont you know, if I did this hack (plug out internet connection during searching update) will I get an official HTC tested Mango? So it will be final Mango with optimized drivers?

It worked for me but I ended up having to do a hard reset to get my data up and running - bummer.
FYI:
7392 is NoDo, Mango is 7720.
If some of you are JUST NOW getting 7392, that's really odd.

Maybe i should of told you guys before: it takes a very long time ..... i think more than 1 hour and a half. You just have to let it do whatever is doing. My update worked like a charm and i didn't lose anything.

My update worked fine, and I didn't lose anything either. My update took less than 30 minutes, but then again, I have fast internet, which probably pulled the update faster than you did.

Moto x stock won't update since yesterday

EDIT EDIT EDIT!!!
today, may 18th, i received the update, it's the one that helps you fix some issues with the disconnection of the 3g data for some users, the package weights 15 MB, and it's installing now, thanks everyone for your comments and experiences.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hello
Yesterday my moto x stock had an icon that told me that a new update was available, I tried to download it but it didn't allow me because I wasn't connected to the WiFi, so, I arrive home , connect the moto x to the WiFi network and go to settings - about phone - updates , it searches for a little bit and bam, it says that I need to be connected to a data network before I can download the update, but I'm connected! I don't know what to do... Please help
Thanks, beforehand

I can't remember the last time I took an ota through Verizon. I just side load it when it gets posted why wait.

Software Version 10M Discussion Thread

Hey all,
Feel free to use this thread to discuss the recent V10m-OCT-14 Software Update for the G3. I have just received it on my International D855 Model.
Listed enhancements are:
- Apps
This update is 180MB if coming from the other latest update, v10l. You can download this update by going to your Update Center, Software Update. Or, your G3 might have already downloaded it OTA.
Personally, I find a bit more battery life, and more responsiveness coming from v10l, feel free to share your individual experiences with this update here!
Battery life is better than 10L, but it's only one day used. Will see how is in the next few days
Just installed it and rooted it with PD...works fine at the moment, downloading music from spotify and such, let's see how it behaves in a few days time. V10L still had the noises while charging...expecting 10m to have the same issue.
Any KDZ File?
Thank's
Bump! works with this?

A few hours of usage 10M seems on par with 10L, same performance noting special. Guess we will have to see, the newer kernel build date suggests that some tweaks and updates are present and we are always grateful for tweaks

:good: Cool. I can't wait OTA.
@ Mr Bo
Thank's , flash in progress.
Does this update resolves the "Hissing and buzzing sound with headset/AUX" issue ?
Still don't see the M for my IMEI / Region (India) yet. Waiting !
Hissing noise is likely to be hardware so don't hold your breath for a software fix. They obviously didn't adequately shield headphone socket from the charging/battery.
Blimey, I only just got around to flashing v10L.
Is there a way to install the OTA update for someone who has TWRP recovery installed without getting stuck inn the recovery on reboot ? Fortunately, there is a fix to get out of the recovery but the OTA doesn't install when returning back to system.

I can cancel this issue with some tricks (USB or call trick). The G2 did have this issue with kk4.4.2 ant it was resolved with the 4.4.4. So i m still waiting an update or an aosp rom.

Tried this?
That's how I install L. Worked fine, just lost root (which TWRP fixed), DPI was changed back to stock (I fixed that) and it reinstalled a little bloatware (McAfee) which Titanium took care of.
That is, of course, if you can get the KDZ.
I can't see any serious difference after weeks of using ".i" version... always flashing with CSE option.
phone works great, very smooth, battery life for around 5-6h of screen awake

new update G925FXXU2BOGE 5.1.1

Hi All,
I just received a new update on my Sim Free UK S6 Edge, unfortunately I did not capture the list of changes.
Attached screenshot. Not sure what has changed and I need to pop out, will check through some apps and settings latter
cheers,

<Mod Edit - SamMobile Links are not permitted.>
sorry mods - wrong section, should be in general
has the memory leak/slow speeds/lag been fixed? -_-
Here the Mega-link:

just receiving OTA 227.62 mb, dont know what changes it has.
It's strange that after the update, the DETAIL menu from Battery can't be pressed. So no Auto Stop Apps after 10 minutes anymore...

I was previously on 5.0.2 on my UK S6 Edge sim free and yesterday I got this 5.1.1 update.
No idea if it's the standard 5.1.1 or the updated one that fixes the memory and battery leaks.

That's BOGB, so the latest 5.1.1.
Too early to say for sure if this fixes all my issues with my S6E but, after 24 hours running it, it does seem better than any of the other S6E builds I've used.

That's cool. It's difficult for me to say as I never got the update to the first 5.1.1 and was stuck on 5.0.2 and only yesterday did i get the update to 5.1.1
But so far battery life seems to be on par with 5.0.2 and I do notice that unlocking the lock screen and going into the home screen seems a tad faster.
is it worth to loose root? cos i'm still on 5.02 with Root Exploit [email protected] and i use Titanium Backup a lot
Battery seems to be better on mine since the update

I'm not finding much different than BOFJ. Battery maybe better but too early to say yet.
Just a question to participators, what version of Android were you all on prior to the update..I'm trying to get my head around this update as there's another news that Samsung has released another update of about 120mb in France...

Warning: the OTA will disable memory card!

Just read on the OPX forums that if you take the OTA when you get the phone it will stop you from being able to use the memory card. It's a software issue and OnePlus are looking into it.

It didn't break it for everyone tho.

Before update check out the storage options and see if the sd card is showing there .
Also install couple of apps and try to move them to sd card .
Then try the same after the OTA .
According to me after OTA the sd card is just recognised like OTG ... Shows in File Manager, Play Music also shows songs present in sd card, but then you can't move the apps from system memory to sd-card after update .
Just check it out and let everyone know, that way people can decide whether to do first OTA or wait for the next one . . .
Well, i had the phone for a day without making the ota and the phone was slow, laggy, not nice to use. I did the ota and everything is now so smooth, you better do it. I've got an sd card, and it's working fine, i don't know where these rumors come from
Well it looks like 32GB or below are working, i tried 64 GB i can read and write via ES but i cant transfer installed apps/games as it says not enough storage.
PS: This is before OTA system running stock 2.1.0
I did the ota and everything seems OK.
There was an announcement on OP forums that a fix is coming in the next OTA.

What memory card are you using? My OPX isn't detecting my SD card but then again it didn't before the OTA: I'm using a Kingston class 10. At least they've acknowledged it's an issue
