My phone says there is an update, but on my Mac the Windows Phone Connector can't find it. Anyone having the same problem? And what should I do?
Why don't you try OTA to update

Over-the-air means Over-the-air programming, a method of reprogramming smart phones and other mobile devices
look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-air_programming
I mean that you can update from your device.

I know what OTA is but Windows Phone won't update like that.

I don't know enough about the mac connector to know if this will work, but check the install directory and see if you can find something that will run in terminal that is like the updatewp.exe we have on windows. If this is the case you can send the cab to the phone that way.

I'm sorry if there is something already posted here somewhere about the rezound, but I haven't seen anything...yet...lol.
I've been trying to root my rezound ALL DAY and can't seem to figure anything out apparently.
If someone could help me out with sending me a link to the best way of unlocking bootloader and then rooting my phone. I had a dinc2 previously and that was not as hard to root compared to the rezound IMO. So please, if someone can take the time for me and help me out with getting my phone unlocked and rooted I would greatly appreciate it a TON!!!

hey guys thanks for replying back....I'm still getting no luck whatsoever with unlocking the bootloader.....I'm doing everything (or so I think I am) right with the steps on htcdev.com and when I get to the command prompt and type in fastboot oem get_identifier_token...this is what comes up
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.....now I have NO CLUE what the heck to do!! I'm getting pissed off lol. I could really use some help here. thanks
You need to change the directory to where your fastboot is located.

Fastboot is located in the Android folder that i created....I found out my problem. My laptop isn't recognizing my phone at all. I read about this on a few forums about a lot of other people having this same issue with the rezound.....I try to install drivers on my pc for my phone to be recognized but its still not working....How did you or anyone else on here get their pc to recognize their phone???

Did you install HTC Sync properly? And have you tried installing the android usb drivers using SDK Manager?

Yep I've installed htc sync multiple times now and SDK manager as well. Still a no go. It's really frustrating I can even unlock my [email protected]#$%& phone lol. After I install SDK manager, is there something else I have to do to it??? I think I have everything ready to unlock my device but once I click fastboot OEM get identifier token it says waiting for device and doesn't do anything after that. Freakin sucks
Yeah make sure you have the HTC drivers installed. I had the same issue in Jan when I rooted mine, drivers weren't there.

I'm pretty sure I had them downloaded. Just to make sure, what is included in the drivers?? That way I know everything is there when its downloaded.

After you install Android SDK the directions on the HTCdev site tell you to run sdk manager and download the Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platfrom-tools. What I did was to take this a step further and also install the Google USB Driver which is listed in ADB Manager under Extras and also the API's for GB and ICS. The API's really aren't necessary but I don't think ADB will recognize the phone without the Google USB Drivers.

This may not work for you, but one time my drivers weren't working because I plugged my phone into a USB 3.0 port, so when I used a USB 2.0 port, it worked fine.
In the commercials and promos it shows apps like Chrome, Gmail, and Youtube working in multiwindow but there's no way to add new apps to the multi window on the Verizon Note II. Is there a way to fix this? Or is a fix coming officially soon?
There are ways if you are rooted. Otherwise, there will probably be an official fix soon.
Probably before the end of the month. AT&T and US Cellular already have the update, maybe even T Mobile as well.
Verizon always sucks at updating their devices.

GF just got the phone and I rooted it. Want to be able to change what apps are in there.

I've tried everything to get KIES to work with my Windows 7 x64, including re-install of Kies multiple times and loading as admin...no joy. Without KIES working, is there no way to access the phone ROM for rooting?

You don't need Kies, only the Samsung drivers. I used the Toolkit to reinstall them because it wasn't working at first.
Hi,
I am trying to use Wireless Update to update to 20160315. It says my current version is P9000_Elephone 6.0_20160304 and no update is available. Is it possible to use Wireless Update for this or do I need to flash the ROM?
Thanks

Some had the luck with an ota update, but I think most of us flashed the new rom.
This is a bit ridiculous, Im in same boat, I cant use the FP sensor on mine until I get 0315, but it says Im up to date on 0304, I cant flash as I dont have windows. I think the best thing I can do with this phone now is put it back in its box and send it back to the retailer. Very frustrating as apart from this, its a good device.
I ended up flashing it and overall it was worth it. I ended up with a clean install - don't know if there was another way so that I didn't have to re-install everything? The process was also a bit more fiddly when using Windows 10 as I had to bypass the driver signing system by booting windows with this disabled.
Does anyone have an issue with WiFi consuming a lot of power? I've now enabled it to be always on to see if that helps as I read somewhere that it might.
According to a post on the Elephone forum, they've pulled the ota and we should expect a new one mid April.
Some users have 20160401beta, so they are working on something.
For me no OTA, you need to flash it manually with the latest flash tools. Older versions can not load the scatter file.
Best would be, if the elephone distributes the update.zip so we could copy it to the phone and install it from the update menu.

Does installing via the update menu work? I have the zip for the 20160315 build but am unsure as to whether installing this way would work. I use a Mac so flashing via computer isn't an option...

For that you need the OTA file, which so far are not provided by Elephone.

Is there any work being done on a root method? Since there is no port, what could be done? Possibly a kingoroot wear app?

I'm actually not sure. I have little knowledge on Android Wear, so I'm at a loss on how to go about it
Merry Christmas all,
I bought my S9+ 18 about months ago from one of those cell phone stores.
Well since I bought the device, I never received an update. If I am not wrong, this device is originally from Luxemburg, I live in Austria and my provider is T-Mobile.
I have been looking all over the internet to find the right update, but i think none of the ones I found were the correct update for the device I own.
In the attachment you find the device information, can you maybe help me to find the right update file. I would much appreciate your help!
OR
Is there way to change my device, as if I bought it directly from T-Mobile, so I receive the future updates automatically, without root access?
Best wishes,
timsah
It should be this one......

have you ever had smartswitch work for this type of situation?
these situations almost always benefit the most from Odin, not smartswitch. Odin is very easy to use if the user can read and comprehend fairly simple steps provided they dont overthink it or use the wrong files etc etc.
Odin > smartswitch
even when the phone gets to the state where it says that the software is corrupt and to connect it to Keis, do not connect it to Keis. That screen is also download mode, and if you have that screen, a computer, usb cord and Odin, youre likely going to be able to fix your phone. Ive never once seen anyone use smartswitch to achieve this

Thanks for finding the right file.
Can I flash another official rom over the existing official one without any concerns? This is the rom I want to flash.
