As the title states, I'm looking for a download link to the Nougat 7.0 software for my AT&T v520.. I've since left AT&T and no longer have their service but I do have Wifi enabled and it still shows nothing when i clicked search for an update..
thanks..
Use any active AT&T SIM - borrow from friends, or ask stores to do it for you, or buy a AT&T Go phone SIM (you don't have to refill or anything)
That will not work. I used my Go Phone Sim but it did not resolve the issue. So what I did is to call their technical support and provide them the IEMI number. Once they verified it, they simply pushed the Update on that IEMI and I got it instantly. What they said that the IEMI are listed in sequencial order, so even with an active AT&T sim, it may take weeks before receiving it. So calling their tech support is the best option to get it quickly. And make sure you ask the customer care to transfer it to Tech support immediately, otherwise they will try to convince you that 7.0 has not been released. I had to literally share their own product page link to them where it is mentioned that Nougat has been released for it.
Latest 7.0 rom is here http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...&uk=3594350791
That link doesn't work..

Hi all ---first post---need some help.
----Sorry in advance for any Newbness.
I bought my LG G5 on Kijiji----was originally from Bell---had it unlocked to use on Rogers and was working fine.
5 days later, the phone was not connecting to the Rogers network---I called Rogers and was advised that my IMEI was blacklisted/Stolen phone.
Scrambling for a solution, I Found someone on eBay in India who "repaired"/Changed the IMEI and the phone is now working on Rogers network again.
But When I go to check for software updates it tell me "Your phone is not registered yet"
My question is----Anyway possible way to get Rogers or Bell's Android updates on this phone?
Many thanks in advance for your help/Ideas.
Probably not OTA style, but you should be able to download the KDZ file and flash it manually.
Side note, talking about changing IMEI numbers on here is against the rules i think.
IMHO Sounds like the guy who you bought it from reported it stolen in order to get another phone for cheap.. you could just try calling Bell, plead your case and they might be able to reverse the blacklist.. you might have to prove you purchased it tho, so any communications between you and the seller will help.
About 2 months ago I cancelled my T-Mobile account after some bad experiences with them. I had my LG V10 on lease with them, not yet fully paid. At the same time I convinced the representative to unlock my phone so I could switch to another carrier. I asked her if I needed to do anything and she said no, she can do it remotely, then told me it was all done. My phone was under some old guarantee that I could continue paying off the phone monthly instead of all at once (apparently that's since vanished, and they have no record of that guarantee ever existing. Figures.)
Anyway, I was happy to have an unlocked phone. But a few weeks ago I got a letter asking me to pay up the remaining balance or be sent to a collection agency. I couldn't, so they did. Yesterday I called T-Mobile to find out if my phone was unlocked and they said that since my account was closed and in collection, they couldn't check or tell me, and to call the agency. I did, and the collection rep didn't seem to want to give me a straight answer. His answers were (paraphrasing): "There's some things T-Mobile doesn't want us telling you (the consumer); "I'm going to choose my words carefully"; and, If you pay off your balance T-Mobile may unlock your phone." He repeated the last one whenever I asked additional questions. I figure he could've just said no, your phone is not unlocked.
So I'm thinking that since my phone was remotely unlocked by T-Mobile just before closing my account, that it's still unlocked and they just don't want to confirm it to me for fear that I may not pay them back as fast. My question is, if T-Mobile unlocked my phone before closing my account, could they re-lock it, wven without an active account? Also, could the rep have lied to me about having unlocked my phone?
By the way, I can't do the SIM swap trick because everyone I know uses micro sim and my phone uses a nano sim. Also there isn't a cell store anywhere near me.
Oh, I did an IMEI check online on Swappa and it said Activation Status: Clear, not blacklisted, and identified my phone as either LG V10 (T-Mobile) or LG V10 (Unlocked). Not sure what that means. Did a check on another site and under carrier code it said T-Mobile, and carrier code TMO.
Did you get your phone from tmobile? Aka model h901? It should have the tmobile unlock app already installed which will tell you if it's unlocked or eligible to be unlocked. They would have told you to use it to unlock it in the first place.
Also, a collection agency isn't going to know anything about tmobile services, they'll say anything to get your money. It's a completely separate company.
I'd be more worried that tmobile blacklisted your imei rather than having it locked since you didn't pay off your lease.
Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone can help me out. I can receive calls, but can't make them. I've tried both wifi and cellular.
The weird thing is I called T-mobile for help and they were saying based on the IMEI I wasn't using a T-mo version and that I should get it unlocked. But it's definitely a T-mobile phone and it was working perfectly fine until today. If it was locked to some other carrier, it wouldn't have been working all this time, right?
Thanks for any help.
Where did you get your Galaxy Note 8? Did you get it from T-Mobile?
If you got it from somewhere like Ebay, then that device maybe flashed for T-Mobile, but actually came from another carrier. Check XDA on how to fix (flash) your device's cellular radio firmware to fully work with T-Mobile (that is if the IMIE number is not locked, due to previous owner's fault, like not fully paying for the Note 8, theft, etc).
If you got this device from T-Mobile, then do a manufacture warranty exchange with T-Mobile. You can request this over a phone call to T-Mobile support. Then they will send the replacement device to a T-Mobile store near you for you to do the exchange.
Always better to get your device from a trustworthy place, like your carrier's store/website/customer support phone call.
When getting a "smartphone" device from places like Ebay, you need to ask yourself why are they doing this. Why are they getting rid of a flagship like the Galaxy Note 8 so early on? If I was going for another flagship right now I would still keep the Note 8 for its unique features. So I would be suspicious of somebody giving rid of this device (Note 8) so early on. Why are they selling it for such low price right now? These are my thoughts on someone selling Note 8 right now (at this point in time) for low price: Good likelihood they messed it up by trying to root/flash ROM/flash carrier modem radio firmware, they don't want to fully pay the device off (so the device is no use to them), or they stolen the device.
Human beings are not dishonest all the time, but it does beg these questions to be asked and answered. Be so very careful in trusting people like this. Personally I wouldn't trust someone in this situation, but that is just me. Remember that they are not doing this because they are amateurs. They are very good in winning your trust.
Just saying!

Thanks for the reply. I bought it from someone on Swappa. He sent me the receipt with it. It was purchased from Samsung.com. The box it came in had the T-mobile logo and everything so it's weird that the IMEI isn't registered with them.
To update my situation, I tried starting in safe mode and was able to make calls so I'm told it's a third party app causing the problem. Not sure which it is since I haven't installed anything new in a while.
First do a "Factory data reset". See if that gets rid of the problem. Hopefully that would get rid the the app that is causing the issue. I just remembered that substratum (including sungstratum - Samsung addon) did weird things like this to my Galaxy Note 8. I had to do a "Factory data reset". Then install all the apps one by one, since both Google and Samsung backups had substratum within it. So I couldn't use either backups. For that reason I stay away from substratum stuff.
It is not abnormal for Samsung direct bought devices to have IMIE number not registered with carrier. Usually not a problem with T-Mobile.
If problem still exists then have the seller contact Samsung to let them know that he gave the device to you. He can say it was a gift to you. Remember to tell him to give your information to Samsung. Once that is done, then you can can get support from Samsung.
Again, if you got the device from T-Mobile this problem would have been solved so much easier and quicker. Next time think about getting the device directly from the carrier.
Guys,
I get this update;

Im just new / noobie haha at this Huawei. But can somebody confirm for me if this has an issue or a throttle about the system updates?
I dont see any kind of Branding of the carrier, also dont see an splash screen at the startup of an carrieer.
Because I dont want being restricted by the carrier about the update policy of my carrier.
I'm afraid that this is an issue that if the update comes to example to the Netherlands or UK, so that the people without this ("branded-isch") carrier thing (forexample in Netherlands) will get the update early then the people who has this Carier/branded thing...
If I put an other SIMcard like forexample Vodafone, this will not popup, Only popup with the T-mobile simcard, it makes sense because I bought it at T-mobile.
Why Im making wories is because before I went to the Tmobileshop, I bought the phone without an contract at the Mediamarkt (Techshop) and put the same SIMcard in it what I have right now, and there it doesn't any thing popup what it does right now;
I just wanna to be sure otherwise I wanna cancel my contract and gonna get an other mate 20 pro without this being branded.
Is this phone now being branded?
Sounds very similar to what I have with my network in the UK which is '3'.
My phone was purchased from them on contract and is a dual sim version.
When I first but my sim in it said there was a software update available. It turns out it's just a carrier custom update which adds a splash screen and some selected apps. From previous experience with Huawei updates it seems they do not release updates here until all the carriers here approve the update which can obviously cause delays. As such I have chosen to not install the update in the hope I will soon get offers the latest 146 update. I don't know if this will actually work or not but here's hoping.
The phone keeps downloading the update but I just go into the software updater app and delete the data.

Yeah this is annoying me also... I have tweeted three & got the usual 'We customise it to give the best experience', but when I then asked about being removed from this update channel as the one they're pushing is an older version than what's already installed & I'd rather keep up to date with the monthly security updates, they've not replied...
For now, I've turned off Auto Downloading of updates now so that's one part of the problem solved, however, Software Update app still keeps posting notifications about the update, even though I've removed all permissions for it to do this.
Hey all I wanted to post this and maybe help anyone who has bought a carrier unlocked device from Samsung. So I bought the Samsung Note 20 SM-N981U1 and could not get the carrier specific video calling function to work (only had Google Duo as an option). I then downloaded and flashed the TMB firmware for the SM-N981U1 firmware and still no change. What I was able to figure out by going to a T-mobile store was that the model type is actually just SM-N981U and bit U1. I then downloaded that firmware and flashed it and all the carrier specific functions came back. It apparently also voids the phones warranty so you would need to flash it back if there were any problems.
I just wanted to pass along this information as I saw many chats over time on both the samsung forum and XDA so this should hopefully ease some headaches for anyone trying to figure it out.
Thanks all!
Fdi you think this might help fix the chat registration failed people including myself have been having?
