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.
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
Where are you getting your info?? I have been using VPN turbo to get my updates because Nokia is so slow with the ta-1043. I have this phone for 5 months,only the September update I got from Nokia without using a different method...so fak nokia
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.
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?
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.
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?
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!

I updated my UK spec TA-1050 by this method.
I can't post the link because it's getting removed.
You trust a workaround you found on the Internet, that voids your warranty???
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?
Well I just read on those forums that you'll be stuck at that update if you use it. No thanks.
Must be nice to be rich
I used it on my ta-1043(Romania) and I have no problem with my phone. The battery life Seems even better.
Device Tech Guy, me too! I'm losing patience.
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.
Download SE Explorer from the Play Store and you can access the Internal Memory folder directly from the menu in SE Explorer.
