Hi,
I updated my Nokia 6 early yesterday morning, February 21st. The update was 1,7GB in total, don't know what it consisted of. The update came to my phone through standard automated update check, I got a notification to connect to WiFi, I did, the update downloaded and installed.
Apparently, it was the Android Pie update, though I didn't look that closely.
So, 100% stock ROM, no mods, fully official update method. No tricks. Connected to wall, 100% battery.
After the update the phone booted and asked to reboot to install operator updates. I'm not quite sure the exact wording of the message pop-up, but that's what it asked as far as I can remember. I agreed to reboot, the phone shut down, and never came back to life again.
It won't respond to any key presses. It's completely bricked.
I'm going to get it fixed in a shop, where it'll go to have its display changed anyway. I'm writing this here to ask, has anyone else had troubles with the update? It was rolled out in Finland apparently February 21st or 20th, or then I haven't reacted to the notification before. I'm quite unhappy with the state of the matters, since it seems to be the official update that bricked my phone.
So, anyone had any troubles with Android Pie update?
Mine bricked 2 days ago after the same Android pie update, 1.7 GB. I have tried flashing to no avail. Currently looking for ways to restore a bricked Nokia 6 TA-1021.

According to the service personnel, a small wonder happened when they plugged in my TA-1021 - the device started right up. It's quite extraordinary claim, since my phone was connected to my charger when it shut down, and it was showing 100% battery.
I have no reason for this, only speculation. The only explanation I can come up with outside of some divine intervention is, that the phone did not shut down after all. Instead, it was stuck on some loop with screen off and buttons inoperative. When it finally ran out of battery, it responded right away when it received more power.
I did not try and flash my phone myself. Nor did they flash it in the shop. It wasn't necessary, the phone is now fully functional.
Maybe try to plug it in briefly and see what happens. If nothing, then just unplug it again and try another time tomorrow. Btw. HMD Global's chat support was very responsive, so I highly recommend contacting them if you suspect that your case was caused by the updater itself.
Mine didn't get bricked, but it started having issues with Google accounts. After the update, all apps which use my Google account to login had login errors & I couldn't add Google accounts onto the device. I manually synced the account, removed the account & tried to add it again (shows a "sorry something went wrong" message everytime I try to add an account), wiped the cache, even factory reset it, but nothing helped. I finally had to spend some time learning how to downgrade it & was able to add accounts on the device again. But after I updated my device with Android 9 (V6.12) again, the issue came back.
my all google apps arent working on TA-1000
mine is completely bricked. wont turn on at all. TA-1033.
Is there anyway to fix this?

I purchased a S5 G 900V (Verizon) on the 15th (of May) after my last phone died (Razr)... 2 months after the insurance expired of course. The S5 seemed to work fine for the first 3 days and like most I was setting it all up (w/exception of a few root only apps since the verzion phone is locked up).
This last Tuesday late afternoon the phone wouldn't turn on so I did a battery pull and when it booted up it had an unlocked icon (lock that was unlocked) display on the device and the word "custom" displayed under the open lock. The phone would go to sleep and not wake up without a battery pull each time. Device status under the settings area was also the word "custom". I had purchased the device from Best Buy along with insurance at our local mall... and at 7 pm after trying to get the phone to work correctly took it back to the store. The person that had sold me the phone was there along with one of the managers/assistant managers and they both keep telling me it was my own fault for attempting to root the phone (which I didn't do). They fought with the phone for and hour or so and couldn't get anything to work correctly... still getting the unlocked icon and custom word. I was told that if I could get it unrooted they would exchange the device for me, but they couldn't do anything with the phone until I could get it back into ua unrooted status. The assist manager did point me out to another website that explained the use of ODIN and where to get the stock Verizon rom.. which took a good few hours to d/l due to their slow server (not complaining, I'm glad they had it for me to begin with).
I set up and attempted to unroot the device with no avail. Did a factory wipe clean out cache etc etc the ODIN program kept saying it worked and I would be presented with all the normal new phone settings and hoops to jump thru as if it was just being activated... but on a restart the open lock and custom was still there.
Yesterday while looking over forums I noticed the phone was downloading an app I had already downloaded. I looked at the phone and it seemed as if it was re-installing some of the basic play store apps I had! I rebooted the phone and no lock appeared and under the Device status custom was gone and "original" was in it's place. I packed all my boxes and cables up and after work today took the phone in and had them exchange it for a new one. The same assistant manager was there when I had first taken the phone in when I had experienced the strange behavior.
She (the assistant manager), had no problem exchanging it since it didn't have that error showing up.
My major concern is if somehow if/when I connected the phone to my desktop did it (either the phone or computer) try and transfer files that made the phone act up in the first place? I have a rooted Nexus 7 and the Razr I had had ... had also been rooted. I don't think I have anything besides Samsungs device manager and Wugs Nexus Root toolkit, but those shouldn't mess the S5 up I have Eclipse installed but it doesn't launch without manual opening. I would both hate it if I had the same thing happen to this new phone but also dislike the idea of not plugging the phone in to transfer media if I wanted to.
Any ideas... or think it was a bad first phone?
Okay, so my old phone basically broke after I updated to 4.4.4, my service was absent almost everywhere, my bluetooth went in and out, my phone was slow and froze constantly, and my battery could drain completely in like 30 minutes if I didnt turn everything off and hardly use it, then it would maybe last a few hours. So I got a replacement through Verizon, and lo and behold, it came with 4.4.2. My last post was about me trying desperately to root, but I couldnt because of my 4.4.4 update. So I was thrilled. I transferred all my stuff, and actually managed to use towelroot and it worked.
Then, my phone automatically downloaded the update, and I couldnt figure out how to stop the update popup or notification. Nothing I tried worked, and I downloaded a few apps to try and turn it off. Disabling or etc Google Services Framework does nothing, but somehow, everything else I did managed to make the phone basically unusable. I get two errors: "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." and the same one but about Google Play Services. I tried to undo what I did but it didnt fix it. I reset my phone to factory settings, and while that stopped the downloaded update from popping up, i cant use it because the popups are there literally every 2 or 3 seconds. I cant navigate through a menu without tapping a hundred times, usually on the wrong buttons. I dont have wifi on, so the ota update hasnt downloaded.
Im going to probably take it to Verizon tomorrow and ask them if I can just get a replacement replacement, but I hate having to do all that, because I might have to wait even longer now. If somebody has any idea how to fix google play services, please tell me. I reenabled them, cleared data and cache, force stopped them, turned them back on, nothing fixes it.
Also, I desperately need to know how to prevent an update from downloading, and how to get rid of it once it is downloaded. Ill have root access, but none of the methods Ive googled have worked, please help me, Im so frustrated with Verizon and Samsung all this bull**** now. Why cant they just let us enjoy our devices?
First off a Verizon store will not give you a new phone unless you are inside of 30 days of a new purchase. Ofirst din 4.4.2 to give it a clean start. Re root phone. Then disable sdm which will stop all ota updates.
No, Verizon will give you a replacement if you have their insurance. I've gotten dozens this way. As long as there isn't any serious physical damage like obvious scratches or cracks, water damage, or anything similar they overnight you a brand new device.
I have two phones in my possession right now, on Monday I'll have a third. I went in and showed them the replacement, they seemed confused, but they always do. They told me to just send back the broken replacement and went ahead and put in for a new one, which Ill get Monday since tomorrow is no post.
So that problem is solved.
Ill try what you suggested when I get my replacement. I've never rooted beyond the towelroot I mentioned before, so this is all new to me. It seems like some methods I've seen only work on certain phones, so thats what Im worried about.
Do you think you could give me more specific instructions, because I have no idea what everything you said meant. Im just tired of googling everything you know? Id appreciate it!
Thank you for the reply!

I have had two Note 4's but both were on kitkat. One I handed down to my son, and the other I had rooted and running great, but it got stolen out of my car on Christmas Eve. I ordered a brand new 910C and received it yesterday. When I started it I noticed it was running 5.1.1, but no biggie. Basically all I have done with it was restore my messages and contacts through samsung, and was having it re-install all the google apps I wanted to keep. It wanted to install a 95mb update, but I kept telling it no as I didn't have time to research what this update was. I hadn't done anything yet with the phone, it was just downloading google apps. I went to bed, plugged it into the charger, and was lying there reading an article on the internet app. The phone then froze and rebooted. After that, every time it re-started, it would start up then freeze. I tried to get to erase data through the software thinking it downloaded a bad app and I would start again, but it was freezing before I could do it. So then I went into the up arrow, home, power menu. If I was slow in that part, after so many seconds, the phone would freeze. It seems like it may be a hard ware issue freezing after so many seconds. I then was quick about it and first did a erase cache, no luck, then I did a full factory re-set. Now if I try to boot, it just freezes at the Galaxy Note 4 splash screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or did I just happen to get a lemon and need to send it back? I would appreciate any timely responses you can give so I can figure out if I need to contact the company I bought the phone from. Thank you everyone.
So i updated a few days ago to nougat, everyhing went fine now as of yesterday my edge suddenly random reboots for no reason? i dont get it.. i have tryied clear cache from partition and even did a factory reset still nothing.... what can the problem be ? it never restarted before the update so clearly something messed up my phone after that but how..... i hate this any fix for this?
I don't have such experience and seems initially you did not have either.
Do you use stock/unrooted?
Do you use whatsapp gifs?
yes im stock no root or dont plan to either.. using whatsapp but no gifs why ?? this really sux
I'm having this problem too. 2 random reboots last week. Today it rebooted and because I had secure startup enabled it got stuck in the "enter pin" screen, so the alarm didn't work and arrived 2hs. late to work.
Hello,
Same for me

Hi,
I have experienced this on my new S7 Edge today, 2 random reboots. Did any of you manage to get to the bottom of this probem?
Thanks
Hello I have a Galaxy S7 and since the update to Android Nougat 7.0, my phone restarts randomly, it can stay an entire week without restart and it can also restart 2 days in a row. It's totally random. I have reset to the factory settings and I have reinstalled only the most important applications (facebook messenger, viber, yahoo mail) but unfortunately about ten days after reset, the problem has reappeared. What could be the cause of this problem? For info, the firmware version installed on my phone is: G930FXXU1DQBO. Also, I saw on SamMobile that the countries that received the update later, had a new version. Could the problem come from that? Is this a bug in the firmware installed on my Galaxy S7. Thank you in advance for your help.

Had that issue with my Note edge after updating FW to stock 6.01, many threads in Note edge forum report the same. Samsung gave a s..,,,t , never fixed it.
Maybe Whatsapp? Or SIM card?
I had the same issue, but worse. Between 15 and 30 random reboots a day, during calls, during emails, during sleep. Often (and every morning) I picked up the phone and it said it had a reboot, therefore no finger print wakeup etc. After a ton of googling, Wipe Cache, Safe Mode and all that (changed nothing) I ordered a new SD card. Changed nothing. Then I did a factory reset, re-installed all apps via Google backup. Changed nothing. Meanwhile Samsung customer support tells me to send in the phone, may take a few weeks - haha. So I did another factory reset, but then only re-installed the most necessary apps (although I don't want to have a flagship phone and not install whatever i want). Changed nothing. Still 15-30 reboots a day. Plus a seriously bad battery life, maybe because of the reboots, or nougat, or both. Enough for me, and all the more reason not to buy S8. I ordered a Mate9Pro, which is not as gorgeous as the S8, but at least big, 6GB RAM, fastest chip around and has a 4000mAH battery. However, after re-installing all my apps on Mate9Pro and putting my SIM in there (runs smoothly), Whatsapp (without the SIM) kept popping up on the S7. So I uninstalled. While I was at it, I also uninstalled airline apps (Air Berlin, easyjet, Lufthansa, Miles&More - don't ask why). Since then, no reboot on the S7 (8 hours so far, but that's the longest period since the Nougat update). So the maximum damage has been done (had to buy a new phone), and now the old phone works just fine. Maybe it was Whatsapp, or another app causing it to fail? Or the SIM card? I have no clue but maybe someone with some knowledge can make sense of it?
I was having the same problem after nougat update. I noticed that after the reboot I would have notifications from specific apps like airasia app , I shut off notifications from almost all except a few important apps. Reboot no. has drastically reduced since then.
So I'm sitting here, day after my Note 8 breaks and I have to get a new phone, no big deal, it was mostly paid off. Then I get a software update notification. What for? I'm already on the March security patch, so Pie maybe? Well as it turns out, it is in fact Pie. Waited so long for it to finally hit our devices, and yet it's released right after I come to the conclusion on getting a new phone. Just a weird chain of events for me as I've really wanted the Pie update. And now I get it. After I break it.
Your new phone will probably have Pie, also

I had my first Note 8 since it first came out. Love it and had it right where I wanted it. A week ago I turned it on, and it STAYED on. I tried everything, even flashing it back to factory mode, *nothing* worked. I wasn't even able to get it to safe mode..it would boot up to the Verizon logo and stayed there ..it crashed and bricked on me, oh..when it bricked it also corrupted my sd card I LOST ALL my data
