New OTA update

Hi, guys i woke up this morning and tried my OTA update and i got this . What i cant understand is the internet browser . Though before this update my internet browser was normal without this web and walk from t-mobile. My device is a normal device i.e not a contract phone and not locked to any network. But how come this logo?

KI6 yet another version .
jje

It's a test firmware.

yes i guess because before the update i was made to understand it was a test update. This my device could be something good for developers. If any developer wants to buy it let me know. The advantage is i get update before anyone in uk. if interested let me know.

Anyone can get the test firmwares. Its a matter of changing a string in kies files

Well thats interesting since XW and XX is not T-Mobile branded firmware, maybe Samsung made a compile error and used the T-Mobile icon for the browser or its mixed CSC, can you post details from *#1234#

Pda 19100xwk16
phone 19100xxk14
csc191000xxk12

Dial this *2767*4387264636# and tell us the PCode from that screen.

We all benefit from the hard work that devs put into enhancing our devices. Be thankful you have some means to give something back to the community..
I really hope that's a typo, because if not you're a bloody parasite

[Q] Telus official tethering & 7440 update?

Has anyone received or heard word of a Telus official update enabling tethering on the HTC Surround?
I have the only other WP7 device that Telus sells, the LG Optimus 7, and while other carriers have pushed the update to the Optimus 7, Telus has not yet. I know this is an HTC Surround forum, but I recall reading a WPCentral article, http://www.wpcentral.com/canada-done-wp7, that mentioned Canada would be dropping WP7 support, and not pushing the tethering update. I disregarded the article as BS speculation, but its been a while, and I'm beginning to have my doubts.
So do you Telus users have any information?

After speaking to a Telus rep on this very topic today, the official word is no. They are not going to submit a ticket and offer the HTC firmware patch for 1st gen devices.
They are also only saying that any second gen devices will work if they are enabled out of the box. They have no confirmed eta on receiving any second generation phones, nor have a request in for them. They, of course, are towing the line on whether an unlocked new model not supplied by them will work, as they dont guarantee that all services may work on non-Telus branded hardware. I specifically requested info whether a firmware-enabled Mango - non-Telus phone would work, and they don't know.
I also got the feeling that Windows Phone is a non-issue, and they have no phones on the Radar (sic), and no guarantee they will ever get them.
I have a case opened to help me if I make the decision to move on to hopefully another carrier. I may entertain the idea of trying a gen2 device on their network if I can get one.
Grant

Thanks for the reply. Well I guess I'll be flashing the ROM in my phone to a carrier that supports the latest firmware (unfortunately LG phones don't have custom ROMs yet).
As to your question about unlocked phones on Telus network, yes they will work. The only configuration you need to do is for internet and MMS access, but there are XDA writeups. You will even have access to the Telus Windows Phone marketplace hub when it is all said and done. Just make sure you get an unlocked phone that supports the proper 3G brands i.e. any phone from AT&T will work otherwise you'll get stuck wtih slower EDGE Internet speeds.

That is my fear too. Now that Surround has been discontinued, we may never see another update as Telus appears to have lost interest. Why would they bother testing any new updates as they come along. If Telus doesn't test and approve them, MS won't push them out to us.
I hope I am wrong.
I may be forced to flash another non-Telus ROM. Any suggestions?

Great to hear that news Sonus. Mine current one is unlocked to pop in an AT&T sim when travelling in the US. I'll have to search around this site and see what if anything I can do with this one.
I had to laugh when the rep (after numerous holds to talk to their Product Manager) informed me I'd be better off with an iPhone or a droid. It's too bad that everyone I show my phone loves it, is amazed at it's speed, simplicty and ability to stream my stuff from home, yet not one mall dingbat has taken one out of the box
Grant.

You should have asked him when any of thier Android phones would be upgraded from 2.3 or lower to 4.0. Or when the iPhone would stop acting as only an app launcher.
FWIW I changed ROMs today going from Telus to an Argentinian carrier and tethering now works perfectly.

Sorry, my phone is a Telus LG Optimus 7 so the ROM I used wouldn't work for your HTC Surround. But it seems like you guys have several ROMs available since HTC devices support custom ROMs.

Have you tried installing and running HTC Connection Setup? It seems to do a great job of seting up the appropriate operator settings in my experience.

After i did a hard reset of my phone, post a Mango update, i don't see HTC Marketplace on my phone. Is there any other way of getting HTC Connection setup?

Side load it, I managed to find the XAP.

After my last hard reset (when I upgraded my SD card) I couldn't see the HTC marketplace either. It turned up after a day or so. Same with the Telstra apps. I'm not sure why this happened, but it was like it took a while to register itself to the marketplace with the appropriate OEM and carrier credentials. Eventually it all worked fine.

Voice mail number should just be your own phone number, as for the mms you can try sideloading the samsung tool xap, it has a function to run adc on, or just install htc connection setup app

Can I ask what ROM you guys are using? I'm a little miffed that I still can't tether with Telus and I'd gladly flash, but I no longer have any backup phones, so if I brick I'm hooped. I'd like to just follow the same steps as someone who's got tethering working on a Telus surround. Thanks.

Using intrinsicROM (AT&T) here with IS enabled. I'm with Telus as well but I had my phone unlocked so its still working despite being with a different carrier. Not sure if we have a Telus rom here with IS enabled.

My Boost Aquos Crystal just updated this morning. It's still on 4.4.2, so I'm not sure what's exactly in the update. This may be too soon to say but it seems to have fix the weird touch issues.

I am on Sprint, haven't seen an update yet.

Instead of creating an account to post your question you should have looked in the various update threads in this forum and seen the multiple areas it was posted in or went to Sharp's website and found that there.

Android Central hmzzz don't believe everything they are saying.
They also said you loose image quality /features in the camera if you unlock the bootloader which isn't true.

Notice any differences in how it operates? No notice of any available update on my device as of yet...

Some users on their forum also says that. ATT got it 2 days before and we are getting it to.
I hope they move dual window back to back button. Thats all i need.

I have a H815. So i don't think I will receive an update then

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-22421
Pretty sure its true, but ATT's was only like 25mb

What I don't understand as an EU G4 user.
Why does T-mobile provide an update? Is it an update on their software? Or is LG involved?
Are there specific T-mobile apps on it?

I got the update this morning. To answer a couple of questions: No, no new apps. Dual window is still in the same place.
I dont notice anything right offhand different, but I havent done much with my phone yet this morning. Heres a capture of my info:

T-Mobile (as well as most carriers) ship out the updates after they've approved the changes. I would imagine this is to ensure that nothing being updated will affected their carrier's included Spam (I mean added software) or network connectivity. Last thing they want is their stores or customer service lines inundated with "help! The update broke my cellular connection!" claims.

If you do notice anything of real substance, please post it so that we can know. For now, I think I will avoid connecting to WiFi until I know what this update actually does. I've never been a fan of generic changelogs...

But then it's a little bit strange that the international version. Hasn't got the update.
So you could assume it has to do with their spam apps.

Maybe it fixes the touchscreen issue. I haven't gotten an update yet, and I've switched back to my S5 for now.

Could have to do with any number of kernel/lib/framework related items specific to carrier. Could be cellular radio related, WiFi related (wifi calling has been weird on my phone...doesn't want to seem to connect but I have awesome reception where I live, so I don't need it), etc...
Has your version had any updates in last week or two? If so, it might just be that the carriers are just now approving that update and pushing out to the devices.

That is true for certain phones. Like the Sony phones.

Sweet. Pretty quick imo. Look forward to seeing if it fixes some small issues I've been having (touch/tap misses and knock settings). I know knock settings are a longshot, but it would be nice to be able to configure them to each persons liking. I'd love to be able to turn off the "drag one finger down to quick view the clock/status"

I got my update overnight.
Phone updated without any warning or notice when I woke up this morning. CHecked the software version and it was the new one.
I havent noticed any differences as of yet.

Actually I just looked at my phone and already running version h I wonder if from the factory there were two different images

No I haven't got any updates on my version (H815).

Got the update and my phone starting shaking and jumping around on my desk. When the update was complete it turned into a Galaxy S6

Since they are already working on root and unlock I wouldn't take the ota just yet. Ive got a replacement on the way so once I get the update I'll take it on the one I'm returning and see if any changes. Ill also do a system dump on the new version too if necessary.

SM-G892A (S8 Active) - Root Bounty?

Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone has started a bounty for rooting this device. As it compares to the S8 itself, the hardware is the same in a much less soy-esque packaging. I like everything about this device except for it's lack of dev support.
I'd be willing to start it off with $100 dollars USD to begin with. (I'd also be interested in contacting some devs to help fuzz the thing / provide dumps / do what I can)
It would be a wonder to see this thing rooted and it's assumed to be possible if the S8 had received one.

I'll give this thread a nice bump since it seems like the Active is coming to other US carriers soon enough.

I'm in for $50 usd (or worth of btc/eth)
Want this phone on TMo but need root
EDIT: i'm good for $50, but to be clear, needs to work on the TMo variant which is coming out later this month (I will NEVER buy another AT&T phone -- the most locked down bootloaders ever!).

I can contact some of the devs i worked with in the original SamPWND root method and see if they would be willing to take the task on. Will report back shortly with update!

That would be rad, post an update when / if you hear from them. It's appreciated.
For the time being, I just brought the phone back and got an S8. That does mean that I won't be able to help with any sort of development for obvious reasons. I'll be sure to pick up an active if something goes on and I am still good for 100 dollars.
I really needed root sooner than I thought for some specific stuff, it's rough not being able to afford proper unlocked devices from the OEM..

Yeah, I know.. It got down to a point where there was one day left to return it hassle free and root was rather important.
I'm still willing to pitch in for a root method, you'll just need someone else to test now.

I would pitch in but I'm always short in the wallet. As I said though I have my own device that I could offer as a guinea pig! I wanted to thank you for bringing some attention to this device and still offering your original proposed bounty

Ill see what i can do tonight if i have time, otherwise soon. The only risk, as with all other root methods, is it not working and having to reflash stock firmware

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pyp5n11ibmtzvr0/G892_ENGROOT.tar?dl=0

Don't own the device or a US s8 but from my experience with the s7 active and flashing s7 roms on the active and them working I would guess that root can be obtained the same way with the same methods used kernel wise as in kernel image setup or which ever combination method was used for the s8? Just a uneducated thought I had. Aside from the s7A I haven't bought an American US branded phone since 2013. Another idea I have would be since they both share the same everything, can you use the root method for the s8? My experience with the 7active was the active button didn't work and the back and menu buttons were broken but other than that all worked. Same theory for your s8A but since you don't have physical buttons I'd say success is 90%
I say again success is 90% if you flash s8 firmware on the active and take the same root method as the active. Battary will be wonky but you'll have root lemme know if method works please.
Also, hard brick is unlikely since everything hardware wise minus the battary is the same.
