I moved the file to the root directory and did a recovery reboot and it updated from there.. thanks!! Now the option to update is in my settings drawer.
I have X820 Chinese ROM since the day I purchased my phone and haven't touched the ROM since. If I update to the newest India ROM, will I lose all apps and data? Or will it just flash like an update and not affect data and apps?
You can make updating manually over stock recovery or custom recovery. It is very easy work.
But will I lose my apps and data or not?

I don't have tons of experience on this device yet...
but when I installed 16S onto 15S and was ready to loose the work I had already done (installed quite a few apps, not yet tons of data or settings), I didn't lose any app nor data (including Google setup and WLAN hotspots). However the 16S variant couldn't handle German, so most things came out in an odd mixture of English and Chinese.
I changed the language to English and had the Chinese parts translate to English as well, which I considered helpful.
16S is loaded with LeTV specific stuff which is all about pushing chinese LeTV content and which turned out difficult to disable, mostly because I couldn't tell which parts were important (can't read Chinese), so I quickly decided I needed to go back to the original "international" version, which still mixes some English into other European languages.
I didn't actually have a 15S ROM image, so I can't tell if a downgrade works as seamlessly, instead I restored my TWRP recovery.
That deactivated my WLAN, which gave me a couple of horrible moments, but a second restore (perhaps including EFF) got it back and I hesitate to repeat the procedure for a more detailled analysis of what happened to the WLAN.
Good Job..!
Thanks for the Advise :good:

I did a try a russian "2014-10-14--10-16-45 K920_ROW_S126_140825.7z" with their "twrp_2.8.0.1_recovery_K920Pro.7z" file but it "killed" my phone....
I can still access the Lenovo Re ovey and the root menu though.. But the operating system just hangs at the Chinese 4G logo.....
Im not able to restart the TWRP again. I start to dislike this odd phone now after spending 30-40 hours to try to get google play, gmail etc to work.. I should have bought a HTC or Samsung instead..

You shouldn't do that at the early release of the phone. Even any phone. You need to wait for the official rom release. How about you try fastboot and flash the twrp/cwm recovery. From the recovery use sideload to reflash the stock rom. Keep in mind that you should wait for a review or someone who actually successfully flash the custom roms/non-official rom. Except root, theres a number of successful root.

I know but i was desperate to get Google to work... Bricked or Chines system is same same for me...
Fastboot and TWRP cant find any device. Factory reset or wipe did not help either. Can access boot menu and Lenovo recovery, but need a recovery file first, and then we have problem with that i cant access the phones internal storage.... And this crap has no SD-memory either...
$700 down the drain for sure... Still have to buy a new phone though, and im still in China... Have to fly to HK to get a new phone... This is going to be expensive.
Thats what happen when you flash the unofficial rom. You know the risk. Make sure you have installed fastboot driver and adb driver. Im sure you can reflash the rom after you able to enter fastboot

Just put the .zip file in your dload folder and do local update.
This update fixes issues related to icons and input methods and improves system security with the latest Google security patches. [Fixes] Fixed an issue where the Google input method can't be used when the system language is set to Serbian. Fixed an issue where the icon for the calendar downloaded from the Google Play Store and system calendar icon are the same. [Optimizations] Deleted the Huawei browser (with the Google browser remaining unchanged) for a better user experience. All user data from the Huawei browser, except for bookmarks, will be deleted. Bookmarks will be imported to the Google Chrome after you update your device. Improved device security with the latest Google security patches. Deleted quick sharing of application installation packages and images to ensure their legal use. [Update notes] 1. Before the update, make sure your phone has not been rooted. If you experience any issues during the update, please go to http://consumer.huawei.com/ or visit an authorized service center for assistance. 2. This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating.

Hello,
Did you tried it ? 'Cause except for the security patch, i dont' think this update worth it, am i right ?
I think people who were in that version didn't got any update to B37x.
To my (limited) knowledge B180>B370 excluding betas.
in my case failed at 9% and I do not want to reset phone... staying at b180

Really soo weird, I installed it at once without facing any problem.
It doesn't need a clean B180 rom because I installed it over my usual rom. It wasn't clean.
Something must be wrong in somewhere... but where?
Back here again..
No good news, tried to instal via sd, same issue, fail at 6%
But, but, but there might be a reason, i flashed the sdk21 of xposed, and idk how to remove it.. maybe this is the cause of it....
When you installed, you had to : unroot & put the recovery back ? Or you where "clean"
I'll try tomorrow, with a rest head

Oh, when I was saying "not clean" I meant installed apps and my all data

Hi,
Hmmm so maybe the xposed package.rar i've flashed made this error
Well, i'll try when i receive the H8
Or maybe i had to put the recovery of B100 instead of B180 :/
Edit 1 : When i check the local.prop, there is "ro.dual.sim.phone=false" or the PLK-L01 is a dual sim, so i don't understand ^^
Edit 2 : Flash with TWRP =
MD5's missing
coming from B180 stock /rooted /xposed.....
1.) i flashed all possible partitions i had extracted (HuaweiExtractor) from B180. (system; cust; boot; recovery)
2.) reboot
3.) i flashed full rom B180 from folder dload (vol up&down&power) to be sure to get really all parts of firmware!
4.) reboot
5.) local update b190.zip from folder dload
6.) reboot
7.) i flashed twrp rc3 with fastboot to recovery partition
8.) had rooted and installed xposed now
all works as expected! Now i am on B190.
at least i had to install some modifications to system again and recover my data partition (twrp)
all in all nearly 1 hour hard work!

Hi,
In fact you just cleaned up your B180 in order to instal the 190 ?
The "real" B180
Pure stock if i could say ? Sure, it will work, but i tried to install it without getting back to stock^^
uff 1 hour to achieve upgrade... pity that I have to do factory reset to make upgrade to b190, no root no open bootloader no changes to firmware despite all this I cannot upgrade normal way... very sad, bad job honor(huawei)
because i had made a backup of my apps and data with the HUAWEI backup app (update to version from PlayStore is necessary!) recovery was easy! Had to remove some blood ware and unused apps only!
then reinstalled PMplus; managed autostart and apps they should stay on if screen is off.
reinstalled my google account
all in all a little bit more than 1 hour like i told you
now i am on b190 rooted; xposed and xprivacy activ on; and of curse Viper4Android for better sound.
real easy!

How did you update it? if you were rooted then you have to flash img files manually first before doing a three button update.

Yes, as B371 is the latest one so they will push B371 only, now there are no incrementals. But I have put up a thread here, maybe sometime later I'll post the OTAs too.

OnePlus just released their H2OS 2.5 update for OP3Ts released in Chinese market, available in full flashable zip format.
Just managed to pull the 1.3G zip file from the download page and uploaded to MEGA. Here's the MEGA download link:
https://mega.nz/#!3ggGWTaK!pliXuVOWfWHG-2_M-qoRdsfP2ZKI7V03VOqo1FXuaVI
MD5 checksum: 7649C3FD17BBDC192A921DD913D103C4 OnePlus3THydrogen_28_OTA_027_all_1611222318_09fbb8eecd2b43dc.zip
Here's the original link (Google Translated) in case you want to check the description.
https://translate.google.com/transl...om/thread-3086047-1-1.html&edit-text=&act=url
They also claimed to have updated the touchscreen firmware, so the touch latency problem should be addressed.
Flash instruction:
You don't have to unlock bootloader to flash this rom.
Download the zip and copy it to the root directory of internal storage.
Go to settings, system update, click the gear on the right upper corner, select offline update and select the zip file you just downloaded. the phone will reboot into recovery to flash the zip file. After update is complete reboot into recovery and wipe userdata and cache. Then finish the setup process.
There are some bundled useless Chinese apps but they could be uninstalled. Maybe later I'll make a detailed instruction on how to root/debloat this rom.
ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I just can't handle the download page on the phone probably I need a PC to access that website with translate on . Can you reupload to mega or grdrive or is illegal ? Thanks for you time and for your firmware found
If I have root and twrp can I just flash it without loosing data?

Just a fair warning, I haven't download the file nor intend to. If this is official OP update for the Chinese market, it may as well have the firmware update to the modem/radio on top of the OS. Again I didn't look at the zip, so I can't tell.

It does contain a file (static_nvbk.bin) in the RADIO folder so I would assume so too
Regarding bloat, you should be able to use the OnePlus 3 DBLOATR as it should be almost the same - minus some firmware-related
EDIT:
When checking the readable binary...
the two radio files are identical.

If they actually updated firmware for the so-called latency problem (it doesn't exactly say that in the notes, but translation via google ..) , then one of you that installs it and sees that it works can zip up the files in /system/etc/firmware/tp and anyone can copy them up here for people who are bugged by it to use with their OS (or OOS), etc.
You'd have to make sure you have the permissions the same as the originals, so maybe just save all the originals as *.orig or zip them up or something in case of problem.
Thanks. -- I mean, at the worst, they can be 'diffed' to see if there was any change at all from say, 3.5.3 OOS.
I also bought a china set, and it came with Hydrogen OS. So I went to the Oneplus website to download the Oxygen OS and flashed it by just copying the zip file into the local storage and go to System Update and choose local install and choose the zip file. It will install by itself.
After running the Oxygen OS, I find a few issues. The main problem is the battery life. Somehow it dropping fast, the Hydrogen OS is much better. Don't notice the battery life drop. The other issue is the hotkey. I like the back key to be on the right side of the home button. The back button is on the left side of the home button for the Oxygen OS.
So I switched back to Hydrogen OS but installing the ROM above. I found the latest Hydrogen OS on the Oneplus China website and it is the same version as the ROM above. So it is safe, and it is the latest and greatest version.
Feel free to flash.

MIU? You sure you're not on a Xiaomi? :laugh:
Which is your phone model? The one on the back of the phone. It should say "A2017U", "A2017G" or "A2017".
You need to download the update zip (If you have an U or chinese you'll have a problem, since ZTE took the update pages down) and put it in the internal storage, then go to the update screen and update. If you have a G, just download them from Raystef66's Download Center. You need to download the Factory images, NOT the TWRP flashables.
If you have an U or chinese, you'll have to get the zip from somewhere else probably.

Which is your phone model? The one on the back of the phone. It should say "A2017U", "A2017G" or "A2017".
You need to download the update zip (If you have an U or chinese you'll have a problem, since ZTE took the update pages down) and put it in the internal storage, then go to the update screen and update. If you have a G, just download them from Raystef66's Download Center. You need to download the Factory images, NOT the TWRP flashables.
If you have an U or chinese, you'll have to get the zip from somewhere else probably.

Okay so I see a lot of download links there but can't figure out which one I need, do you have any idea? I feel kinda stupid now haha
Hey. You need Marshmallow B10 (last 6.0 update before 7.0) afterwards the first version of 7.1 (Sorry I don't know exactly the version number) and last the 7.1.1 B10 (The very last update for 7.1.1 before Oreo). I have them all for the A2017G that i downloaded from the German ZTE website before it got shut down. I can upload them for you, all you have to do is put them on an sd card, go to the default phone updater and the updates will show there. From there on just press update(install) on each one at a time and after the last one you're done. No need for sketchy flashing through recovery. It's all done through the phone updater. I'll comment later once I have the files uploaded.
Can you tell us which stock ROM version it's currently running?
Settings/About Phone
Build number, right at the bottom.

I'll make it simpler.
First of all check the version number on Settings - About. If it is "A2017GV1.0.0B10" or maybe B11 then you're good to go, just go to the Download Center, find the "Factory Images" section (NOT THE TWRP FLASHABLE SECTION) and download the one called N-B10 (No need to download the other two zips, just the one that says B10). Then put that package on the internal storage directly, and go to Settings - Update, and update
If you are on any version below V1.0.0B10, you'll have to download the latest Marshmallow update first, and install it like i said earlier. Then download the Nougat zip and do the same

Hey !
have you read other posts before requests for help ?
There are a lots about.
Use Huawei Firmware Finder app to try to upgrade, go for B362 FULL OTA MF PV first
and if don't succeed try with B362 FULL OTA MF one.
All the info are inside the app.
Upgrade manually should be possible with Meticulus TWRP v4,
but it is very dangerous because of bricks, and i don't reccomend you to do, but
phone is yours and if you don't succeed with FF you could give a try... (be carefull)
Good luck ! :fingers-crossed:
Cheers

Yes i read a lot stuff but i tried somes methods from here but i cant make the upgrade. For example yesterday i tried with the app of huawei firmware and i use the dns method, downloading the upgrade and then when its going to install fails at 1% and i have to reboot the phone. I dont know what its happening. Also i tried to instal manually with the dload carpet method and also reach to 5% of the upgrade and fails.

Well, dload method won't work to upgrade to android 7.
Try the versions i suggested you.
Follow correctly the procedure inside the app,
try with vpn method.
Select the update, verify it with your imei and launch the download.(edited)
Look inside your inbuild updater if an update is offered.
If yes download till 5% and press pause. Now stop vpn, then continue with inbuild updater.
You should be able to upgrade..
edit: verify the update with imei and select the method (vpn)

Damn... are you full stock ? do you switched between roms ?
Maybe your current firmware aren't able to upgrade
and need an intermedie firmware such as this one - VNS-L23C605B120CUSTC605D126
(i think is for dual sim but not sure, check with imei first and really don't know if will work).
If let you update to this firmware you should look forward for android 7.

So you did it ? Yeahh that's a good new !!
Dude update the same way you already done with FF. Try with latest rom...
In FF, in search tab type only VNS-L23C605 and you'll see all the available firmwares.
Select B394 FULL OTA MF (2.07gb size), use the vpn method, register and use inbuild updater.
As i can see this should be the latest fmw for your device with july 2018 security patch.
The other way to update is using Huawei Recovery Updater, you easily find here on XDA,
but you need to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. Better use FF directly.
Cheers

Check this Youtube video.
If even can't make an update you can still use one of the HWOTA methods
or use Huawei Recovery updater, you find all here on XDA.
