New Netflix App provides offline Mode but not on the Elephone p9000 - Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion

hi
I own the p9000 maybe for 2 Months. It runs on latest Stock 20160810 Rom, Bootloader locked, no modifications, newer rooted.
3 days ago Netflix released a new version of their Android App, which provide a download function for several Movies and Series.
On my "old" nexus 5 it works flawless. But on the Elephone p9000, same App version, has no Download option and no Category "downloaded Movies". I posted this also on the elephone Forum and it seems that several other p9000 users are also involved. Sadly no solution nor answer from customer service yet.
Someone mentioned the reason, that the device is not fully certified by google, so it reports like a rooted device to netflix.
Anyone using Netflix on this device and have the download option inside the netflix app ? Maybe it works with some custom Rom.
Thanks for the answers.

The nougat beta had release keys but I wasn't able to confirm. So wait for the next update and it might be there otherwise get another phone

what keys ?

what you mean with keys ? Do you think this could be a issue by some failed certificate ?
I know that many people have problems even to run Netflix or Amazon prime Video when their Phone is rooted. But this p9000 is absolute virgin from this point.
Anyway i doubt someone would buy another phone only to make an app properly work. I was just curious what's the reason for this weird behaviour. Also, if it is really a certificate problem, so apps with higher security levels see some breach here, it would be very interesting though.

Every phone is signed. Their are test keys which do not allow certain functionality like android pay or banking apps. Release keys are signed over the rom so these functions can be used

Thank you for your kind answer. So then it seems that the Rom was not properly signed by elephone . Will try some banking apps if they work.

Netflix Works flawlessly on my p9000, including the Download functionality.
I'm on latest Eragon Rom.

It's also working for me (I've tested Downloads) on the Android 7.0 Beta.

Ok ..this seems good news to me. I wait for the final Android 7 and see if it work then. When not i go for some custom Rom.
Update : It seems that the Download for the Netflix app works on some devices with newest stock Rom and for some unknown reason it simply dont work on other devices.
So it's obviously another reason what makes this happen.

Working flawlessly here too, with the latest OTA update (20160810). Systemless Rooted + Xposed
Note that not all content is downloadable

In the google store where the netflix app is provided, they are many complains from several users with different android phones and different version of Android. Netflix says it work from 4.1.1 to up.
It seems so random to me. Some guy from the elephone forum proved that netflix download works on his device with screenshots. Same device, same stock rom. Maybe it has something to do with the geolocation. No clue.

Works for me on eragon rom!

It seems the problem is that they don't properly signed the Stock Rom, or it becomes corrupt while OTA update. I had now several Apps reporting me that my device is rooted and therefore because of security reason the application will not work properly.
WTF elephone ?
Don't know if it would help when i flash the last stock Rom manually again. Maybe something gone wrong while the OTA update process. Also what makes me more angry that their support staff is simply not existent in their forum. It's obvious how this work. You buy a phone, get no support and that's it. Anyway, if the Android 7 Update renders into a scam bubble i'll return the phone back to amazon.

January 2, 2017 Software Update

This morning, my Note received a rather large software update that installed without many problems. Most likely certain security updates, but I was surprised to receive it as we are not really "accustomed" to any attention from Samsung for this tablet. Any further comments from anybody else?
I got the same.

Sorry for the misspelling. I meant to say "without any problems" not "without many problems". In fact, the whole update process was smooth and fast. Everything works fine. I understand, however, that everyone's setup is different and my experience should not be the absolute rule.
Nothing here on my device. Although it might be because I'm in Sweden.
Did anyone see any changes? I dont see/feel anything other than the version number change even the security patch level date remained the same. Is there a changelog somewhere

My tablet updated and now the OS boots super slow and then does a soft shutdown and reboots a second time. It takes more than 60 secs to get to the home screen. Anyone know how to uninstall this update?

I've seen this post for a few days but not had time to respond till now.
I've got an SM-P605v. Haven't seen, or been able to download the update you've mentioned. This may be because I don't use Verizon as my connectivity partner, or it may be that my particular tablet's OS doesn't need the security updates that yours did.

I also have a SM-P605V but have Verizon as my carrier. I got the notification to update today. I don't see anything on VZW site about it nor under the specific SKU on SamMobile (still has 10/15/15 as the last official update). When looking at the SM-P605 model, there are some in the list (even today's date), though they are for non-USA countries.
Even so, it looks like they are still all Android 5.1.1, so it's likely just some minor tweaks. To my understanding, you would need to pop in an activated Verizon SIM to get the update for your specific tablet, as Verizon is the one that issues it. You can also wait until it's posted on SamMobile and manually do it. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P605V/

I think I found the official from Verizon: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-10-2014-update/
Software Version: LMY47X.P605VVRSDPL1
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android™ security patch on your device.

You should be able to flash this now that Sammobile posted it... https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P605V/
I got this a couple of days ago - managed to odin flash after I put the wrong file and got the boot loader triangle a day before.
Its extremely stable and the tablets working like a dream - the only issue is no root.
Edit: I noticed a great improvement in battery management and it will charge to 100% from 30% in 4 hours before I flashed the 5.1.1 rom it took nearly 8 hours with a new(second hand) USB Flex connector and nearly 20 hours with the old usb flex connector to go from 30% to 100%.
I really like this tablet - it reminds me so much of my SM-N910F note 4.
You can root the latest firmware and also install twrp. I have a 600.

Probably just a security update
Please excuse my silly question but I have P600 with 5.1.1 and never rooted. Do I need to install twrp before I update or it doesn't matter? Updates always make me uneasy with locking bootloader or needing new root methods.
If you just want to update then flash with Odin and the appropriate file. Try looking at sammobile.com for the appropriate rom file.
If you want root then you will need to install a custom recovery using CF auto or Twerp - the latter will NOT work on the SM-605v version as the bootloader is locked and will result in the yellow triangle and stating that the tablet has a strange recovery and that you should see a verizon technician. By installing the recovery you can then update the system or even try out new roms created by the people of this wonderful community.
Rooting will potentially stop business application with built in security from working - i.e. HSBC application, Virgin Media app and Sky Movies apps will not work on rooted phones to name a few.
I updated and rooted and everything is working ok. I had trouble with 64gb Sandisk microsd with "sd card unexpectedly removed" error. Then it mount itself back. Sometime it shows empty and asks to format and sometime it works. Also the lockscreen flicker and that usually when the card error happened. I suspect they are related and it happens only when waking up the device. The card works fine with all my other devices including my note 4 on stock 5.1.1. I'm not sure what caused it because I just used this sd card with the note 10.1 and then updated and rooted all in the same day.
Anyway, I removed the Sandisk and now I'm using 32gb Samsung and it only happened once for maybe 12 hours (could have been 100 times with Sandisk). Also, I don't notice the lockscreen flickering anymore. I will see if this problem comes back or it just that Sandisk doesn't play well my note. I have seen many people here reported similar problem with other Samsung devices for too many reasons. I don't believe file format is the issue but I'm using exFAT.

Prevent update to Nougat on A3 2016

I have upgraded my A310F to Nougat but decided I don't like some things (mostly related to Dream UX or whatever the thing is called) and some minor flaws like inability to use keyboard other than Samsung one (other ones crash the Samsung Keyboard process when trying to use emoticons), also the battery management is quite poor (there is no longer a list of apps I want to be killed once I just stop using them).
Anyway - I got back to Marshmallow by simply flashing firmware via Odin (all works fine again).
But the question is... how can I stay on Marshmallow forever?
Currently I've disabled the autoupdate over wi-fi but AFAIK the update popups will keep appearing once only Nougat will be officially available in XEO region.
How can I make this permanent? Any ideas?
If you have any - be it without or with rooting - please let me know. I don't want to loose the ability to use Samsung Store.

Yup. It is there I thought that this may be related with not working Samsung Pay with rooted phone but fortunately it's not.

Still didn't get the Android P update. Anyone can help?

So basically I've tried every method shown in YouTube or XDA on how to get the update but I still haven't received it. Should I worry about this or am I just a little impatient.
Important information:
After receiving the November 1st update my phone entered in a bootloop without any reason, I suspect it was due to the Google Cam app that I had installed while on 7.1 however I made it to 8.1 without having any issue so I doubt it. Anyway, after this bootloop I had no other option than to make a factory reset (loosing Gcam in the process). I was so pleased with the improvements the Google Cam made that I felt the necessity of installing it again. However, if used the same method that I did for the first time it would end in a factory reset since it had to unlock the bootloader. I found a solution on a thread which mentioned that this factory reset could be avoided if you press the volume down button while unlocking the bootloader. This worked fine. So what I did was unlock the bootloader, momentarily install Magisk, enable Camera2Api by flashing a module, uninstall Magisk and then lock the bootloader again. A restart later I had my phone working with Google Cam again (and still having to this day).
So my question is:
Could this affect in any way my OTA updates and be the reason why I'm not getting Android P?
Sorry for the long post but I had to make sure all this details were cleared.
I'll wait for a response :fingers-crossed:
You have seen all threads (both here and at miui.com) about broken networks?
The update was buggy, the phone should support LTE band 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 38, 40.
After Pie update it only supports 1, 3, 5, 40, 41.

Update
Thanks for the replys.
I didn't want to sound desperate about the issue and if the update is having problems or bugs I don't know if I'm still very interested. I only created this thread to gather some information about the update since I can't really find any reputable source talking about it and didn't know if it is rolling live world wide o was just a beta leak like many people say.
Update 2
I have finally received the update via OTA without VPN method or anything. What should I do? I want to preserve 4G connection but I'm not really sure if the modem used in Android Pie has compatibility with my country's networks (I'm from Argentina)
i accidentally erase my backup rom in my phone..and now my phone dont have os..and i download rom online..but i couldn't flash it..always an error is flash..REMOTE PARTITION DOESN'T EXIST..what will i do?? do ineed to root my phone??

This has been installed already without needing to do rebranding.
Installed with hwota.
.has bugs and not quite ready for general use.
It has no Google app store. Gapps cannot be installed. Adb install is not working.
It is a true work in progress.
My.opinion for right now,. If you need to ask how to install it, then you will have issues to use it as well.

Update failed to install for me. I am assuming it is due to me being rooted. Shame, I'll have to see if I can root the update or if not hope a factory image for 10 comes out. Shame we don't have a TWRP and the ability to just flash the updates from there (so that we can inject Magisk again after an update).

Any issues?
Has anyone successfully upgraded TB-X606F to Android 10 and encountered any issues? There are several threads on the Lenovo forum, suggesting the following issues:
- Notifications not working
- Widgets not updating
- Netflix not able to play in HD
- Face unlock over sensitive
- Apps crashing
I've bought this as a xmas gift so wondering whether there are likely going to be issues with upgrading.
I have run into the the system UI crashing and certain video apps only playing audio. Notification seems to be ok. Closing my case no longer puts tablet to sleep. The face unlock seems a little wonky.

Thanks. Are notifications ok with non-Google apps? I read that only non-Google apps seem to be affected.
Also, is downgrading to Android 9 as simple as using the Lenovo recovery tool? Does anyone have source URL's for old versions of stock stock ROM's?
My notifications seem to be ok across the board
