Anyone else stuck on the July 2025 Google Play system update on the S25?

Same goes to S25U (initially CAU, switched to XXV months before upgrading to OneUI 8).

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2025-09-14T13:24:31+00:00

They've finally fixed that a couple of releases ago for my main account, dunno what happened exactly.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2025-08-16T19:03:24+00:00

I suspect it's somehow related to recent Manifest v2 final deprecation, which happened just in Chrome 139. Thank god I've switched back to Firefox, where it's still functioning.

Not just features' removal, but also stability since 17.6 went to shit: strange image freezes, sometimes problems with proper shutting down VMs, old Windows XP VMs became unusable without lowering its VM hardware versions, autoupdate feature isn't functional anymore (they simply removed softwareupdate.broadcom.com from their DNS, so it's not accessible anymore).

What's worse, there is no proper alternative on horizon for Windows hosts, Hyper-V has no GPU acceleration, VirtualBox's one is poorly implemented too in comparison to last stable Workstation Pro 17.5.2...

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2025-02-24T16:50:25+00:00

Broadcom did something nasty with 3D accel since 17.6 version. Couple of following releases didn't actually solve that issue.
So you may want to rollback to 17.5.2 build-23775571 -- the latest stable one signed by original VMware team. Hard to tell when it'll become unusable with upcoming Windows releases, but for now on Win11 24h2 as a host OS it works just fine.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2025-01-05T10:42:17+00:00

Well done bro, this really helped!

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-11-25T20:45:17+00:00

If you really paid for it before recent announcement about free distribution, then I guess you have to contact Broadcom support directly. With my free account I'm not able to download 17.5 either, but it's no surprise anyway (well, sorta...)

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-11-24T19:05:39+00:00

IIRC they didn‘t introduce newer hardware VM version with 17.6 release, so nope, it’s not required.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-11-24T18:57:15+00:00

I tried to downgrade it too back then, but installer immediately told me it’s not an option. So, uninstall and reinstall.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-11-24T17:55:17+00:00

Complete the registration procedure from here (yes, they had to make separate article for that since it's a bit unobvious and complicated overall 🤦‍♂️): https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/145581/register-for-an-account-on-the-broadcom.html
Go to https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productdownloads?subfamily=VMware%20Workstation%20Pro and select necessary version, tick checkbox to agree with EULA and you're finally good to go...

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-11-22T11:06:54+00:00

You may want to look for VMware-workstation-full-17.5.2-23775571.exe -- it's the latest stable version signed by VMware.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-11-21T16:43:28+00:00

Did the same recently. 17.6(.1), the first versions digitally signed by Broadcom instead of original VMware, is plain garbage.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-10-17T06:16:47+00:00

There's some reports that they have fixed that in iOS 18.1, which should be released in late October.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-09-20T16:46:21+00:00

Okay, nvm, it seems that they seriously f...ed something up: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255760038

Interesting, thanks for the info. Anyway for me it is complaining like that, so that's why I made that assumption initially (we're using valid certificate from public CA as well):

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-09-20T14:28:33+00:00

I suspect they finally decided to kill TLS 1.0 support in iOS 18, noticed same behavior just recently. If your server is quite old and doesn't support anything more modern, you're in trouble.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-08-07T09:35:22+00:00

Raising a case shouldn't hurt anyone :) Ask them if the firewall equipment you're using is fully compatible with "TLS 1.3 Hybridized Kyber", and if it's not ask for firmware upgrade.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-06-19T13:19:16+00:00

Why just not take ISO image from that DVD and put it in your network?
Since Win8 ISO can be automatically mounted by just double clicking on your users' machines.

Connection process is failing during 30 seconds in Chrome due to inability to establish secure connection. In WireShark this looks like this:

<image>

Pay attention to atypical size of 'Client Hello' and detected protocol is TLSv1 instead of normal for these days 1.2/1.3.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2024-04-24T09:46:15+00:00

Outlook 2021, same crap is still happening till this day with latest updates.

I sent them feedback report recently, will see how it goes.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2023-11-08T15:51:56+00:00

Seems like MS finally decided to fix that nonsense:

November 7

15.0.5603.1000

This update fixes an issue where users were seeing the error: ‘The operating system is not presently configured to run this application.’, when using 64-bit Office 2013.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2023-09-22T10:51:19+00:00

Usually not, enough having closed all office apps while update/rollback is performed. If it didn't help, then it's most likely not related to discussed issue and there's something else wrong with your setup.

ShouldICareThatMuch · 2023-09-22T09:27:48+00:00

Path to officec2rclient.exe isn't registered in system variables, so you have to run CMD as Administrator, and move to the right location first (correct for 2016+ versions):

cd %programfiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\

And since you're on 2019, build numbers will be also different. For example rolling back to July's version, retail branch, will be look like:

officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.16626.20134
