When do I get Android 9?

hugh w.

If it's so stable, release it (to U.S. customers).  Yes, it can still have issues.  Guess what?  My phone has issues after the September security update to 8.1!  There have been no updates to fix those issues.

You can install it manually by following the instructions in the link below or you can wait for HMD to push it OTA.

I updated my UK spec TA-1050 by this method.

Search on xda forum and you will find there the solution to update your phone.

I can't post the link because it's getting removed.

There is a workaround for the u s model

tiffanyalexandra

I downloaded that rename it I put in in Nokia main drive but I can't find root folder when I find root there's nothing in it I use root explorer

hugh w.

You trust a workaround you found on the Internet, that voids your warranty???

device tech guy

From xda yes

user1535025311678

Root folder means internal storage. Just copy the zip into internal storage.

And yes,I trust a workaround because Nokia doesn't give a fak about us...and you will not lose your warranty

When it bricks your phone I guess you'll find out.

Device Tech Guy,

Good for you.  Can you guarantee that you will continue to receive updates, though?

device tech guy

Hey TiffanyAlexandra hook your phone to your PC and place the file in internal storage on the phone so you should be able to view it because your looking at it from the PC as your phone is hooked to the PC re name the file. Then type the dialer code and call and it should start installing

hugh w.

Well I just read on those forums that you'll be stuck at that update if you use it.   No thanks.  

device tech guy

Well Hugh just so you know I change phones so quickly I'll probably have the 7.1 or some other device by then with pie out of the box ready for Q

Must be nice to be rich

Hi do I have to root my phone to use that code and add that file to my internal storage or can i just do it. I tried it without rooting and it says file not found.

device tech guy

Nope. No root but I think it works for model TA 1045 model

user1535025311678

No root needed. Only rename the file,add to internal storage and use the the dial to tile that code

I used it on my ta-1043(Romania) and I have no problem with my phone. The battery life Seems even better.

I have TA1050 and it aint working. So sad. Do I leave the file as a zip folder in internal storage or add to another folder? Anyone did this on TA1050?

hugh w.

Device Tech Guy, me too!  I'm losing patience.

user1539108936132

For those struggling to update using the file:

Put the file in the Internal Storage folder, that is the folder that also contains the Download, Document and data folders.
Rename the file but make sure it still has the .zip extension.
Reboot the phone.

nadeem south africa

Can u send a pic plz of how it should look in the internal storage folder. Also If I have it correct then i don't t think this works for TA1050

user1539108936132

It works on TA-1050.

Download SE Explorer from the Play Store and you can access the Internal Memory folder directly from the menu in SE Explorer.

Device Tech Guy,

I ended up downloading the update from the api site.   I'll send you a bill for a replacement phone if it doesn't work! (no, I wouldn't know how to do that anyway!).   The update is going VERY slow...  is this normal?   

hugh w.

Device Tech Guy,

Reboot took several minutes!   I was concerned but eventually it got to what I thought was the standard lock screen.  Then it said "Device is starting..." but that too, took forever.  Is this normal for Pie's first boot?

It eventually got to what I assume is the normal screen for Pie.  Interface is DRASTICALLY different!  

device tech guy

All normal. It should take you through a setup process. And you are all set. Although I would cusomize your home screen look
