P8Lite ALE-L21 - Unlock Bootloader - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I played with my P8Lite and I managed to f#ck the rom, so I decided that anyway is time to upgrade (I'm planning to go on AOSPA from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/rom-t3649258 ).
Currently installed: Android 5.0.1 ALE-L211C432B190
What I did:
- downloaded and installed via dload method (b895_update.zip and B896_update.zip)
- now, in fastboot it says Phone Locked. Before, when it was running on previous rom, it was unlocked (i unlocked it).
Problem is that I can't seem to find the website where I can request a new code... the links I found here on xda seem to lead to a broken page.
This is rather urgent, so I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks a lot.
EDIT
For whoever has similar issue:
I contacted HUAWEI Support from here: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/
To be safe, I wrote an email and used their Phone Support service. Service was surprisingly great and I got my unlocking number in less than 3 hours since I made my request.

Could you write what did you say to them?
And email address
Thanks

Forget that, that was in April and now they will not provide the unlock code anymore.
To unlock the ALE-L21 you will need to downgrade to android 5.0.0 and then try to root it in order to get the unlock code.

Huawei P8 Lite bootloop

So I've searched for a answer but nothing worked.
I have the ALE-L21 model, and it bootloop-ed when I was trying to root the phone.
I've tried to put an update from the sd card by pressing volume up and down + power button and it just said failed from the start.
I've tried entering fastboot mode and flashing boot.img, recovery.img, but i it didn't worked.
Sorry for the bad english, please help me.
first off all...
Whe need al little more information.
dual/single sim?
What build number are you on?
Did you unlock your bootloader? (i think that's your problem)
do you have a goldfish?
If you can answer these questions we can help you
Hi! I have same issue with my P8 Lite single sim from Vodafone. Before i went into bootloop i had B181 branded software.
My bootloader is locked (how i can get unlock code when emui site is down?). Is there any way to rescue my phone without unlocking bootloader?
Maybe it will be possible to flash (vol+,vol-,power) it once again with vodafone rom, but i can't find it anywhere.
Thanks for support.

I'm not 100% sure now but it should be ALE-L21C432B133_Europe Channel_single Software from official huawei site
In that build there should be a floder named vendor with an small update.app in it. put that one in your sdcard/internal memory and go trough settings-> updater-> menu-> local update and select that. let it do and everything should be fine

Rooting issue with mx4 pro meizu phone - exhausted all avenues need advice please

Good Evening
I have recently acquired a Meizu MX4 PRO from my father who buys lots of phones mainly from Ebay and Aliexpress (direct from China) - He has had this phone for quite some time but could never really do much with it because everything was in Chinese and the flyme account is registered to a completely random email address that none of us recognize. Anyhow over christmas he was telling me about it and I said that I would take a look and see what I could do as I have some knowledge of rooting, TWRP, flashing etc. After a good couple of days of trying different things I am none the wiser. I can't for the life of me root this little monkey!
I have tried the following KINGROOT APK, KINGROOT PC, ADB, TERMINAL COMMAND (little knowledge), since exhausting all avenues (I have lost track how many threads I have read) I thought XDA may be my last hope, or at least to find out if it's possible?
Is there anyway of rooting this phone without getting in to the flyme account? - it does sound a bit dodgy I suppose asking this, however it really does appear that a seller in china sold this phone without logging out of his\her account?
Specifications:
Model MX 4 PRO
Android Version 5.1.1
Build number Flyme 5.1.11.1A
Baseband version LTG_3.117.003
If its simply not possible then I will just give it back to my father and say its not possible to do anything with it.
Any help you can offer would be greatly received
Thanks for reading
Darren
Hi. I just bought one with a used flyme account (owner says nver create one....but has his name...probably just created it in the first run an doesn't remember...all in chinese xD) and rooted it easily with KingRoot (then all meizu apps went to hibernation...and no problems til now)
Try to downgrade or update to a beta and try again kingroot 4.8.1 and 4.9.5 did both the job on mine. (SuperSume not...)
You can flash the Chinese firmware with wiping the data first. When the flashing done, go to settings, format internal storage, then you can login your own account

help blocked at startup htc after update

Hello
I write because following an update yesterday htc u ultra my companion he does not want to start it is blocked on htc and becomes very hot!
I tried several things seen on xda but there I am completely blocked.
I have access to different things, booloader, recoverry, etc ... but nothing changes I did a factory reset but the problem does not evolve
I tried to flash it with a ROM ruu but he told me that it is not the good CID. taken here https://forum.xda-developers.com/u-...stock-htc-ultra-dual-sim-1-64-400-10-t3758077
after i have an idea but i do not know if this is possible i have access to someone who has the same phone bought at the same place at the same time is it possible to extract the RUU rom to reinject it into that of my wife ???
I am hopeless we leave in 8 days and my wife finds herself without phone can you m help me to find the good RUU or extract that of my friend to reinject it?
the model is this one https://www.eglobalcentral.fr/htc-u-ultra-64go-4g-dual-sim-desimlocke-blanc-fr.html
apparently it's a Taiwanese model double sim
thanks for all the help !!
PS it was all original not rooted nor bootloaded unlocked just the update ota do
It would be better if you post the threads links properly, yours got truncated.
If you have, as you claim, the Taiwanese Dual SIM model you should be able to follow the downgrade procedure from Oreo to Nougat. I did it multiple times.
You cannot extract RUU. It is specially prepared package that performs several upgrade operations separately. You can only make dump of already installed system but for that you do need an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP) on both devices.

Huawei P smart FIG-LX1 how to root without unlocking bootloader

Hi XDA, since huawei doesn't provide the bootloader unlock codes anymore and dc-unlocker doesn't support my FIG-LX1. I'm looking for a way to just boot into twrp and install root from there or lineage os from the project treble thread. I read somewhere that you can do that with fastboot but I'm not sure. Any concrete answers to this?
Not possible afaik
..
sun75 said:
I unlocked exactly the FIG-LX1 (L31 board) last July using DC-Unlocker Service with no problems at all. The only one problem... it's not free: you have to pay €4 (or 4 credits, it's the same for my country..., I don't know in other countries).
---
EDIT:
Yes, Dc-unlocker does not natively support fig-lx1 in the Huawei phone list, BUT have you connected it in fastboot mode? (see attached jpeg...).

Just to update folks who see this DC unlocker does not unlock bootloader if you are running Android 8 like me. If you have paid they will refund. As they just did for me.
..
sun75 said:
I was on Android 8 also, and I unlocked it with no problems at all in minutes with DC-Unlocker. You have to "read" the boot code with the client (after paying, instructions on their website) and unlock it with few adb commands! Nothing else!

So why does their app say if you on android 8 and get error 375 they will instantly refund. Was you on August security patch? Even on their live chat support they said in person right now there is nothing they can do and they will notify me when it changes.

Yes it wouldn't recognise my device once in fastboot mode, the Huawei suite works when device on and adb but not the dc unlocker. Just incase I am wrong which is highly possible: could you explain the process? Please
I connect device go to server and it said I paid
Press read device and it shows which port I'm connected to.
Then I entered device into manufacturer mode and pressed get bootloader code.
Then I got error 375

So are you enjoying benefits of root or are you using custom roms?

sun75 said:
Ok, your procedure is the same I did.
The only diff is I immediately uninstalled Huawei Suite (maintaining the drivers it installs!) because it interferes with DC-Unlocker and with adb.
I unlocked my phone on 14/8/2018, and I was on .146 C432, which, if I remember well, is the July update.
I never tried before(I regularly upgrade/downgrade via HuRu), but, can you downgrade your phone to .146 (or whatever is the July release of your "brand") via the stock ERecovery?
Maybe they fixed something between the two releases, because I got the unlock code in minutes and you get the error...
I'm very sad for you and I apologize for the posts before... if this is the case: I wish you can downgrade in some way!

Oh dude nice message! All good here mostly wanted to debloat which I have done now without root. I'm really happy with this device. The only other reason why I'd want root is to change mixer path values get louder phone and speaker. I got a refund from dc so all good for now. I take your advice and look into downgrade. Also there doesn't seem to be much development in here for this device? Are you on custom rom?
And thanks for your response
..
sun75 said:
Initially yes: all the OpenKirin's Roms, after most Treble Roms. But now I'm back to "Stock" + my ultradebloat script + Magisk and JamesDSP audio module. I think this is the most stable combination free of unwanted apps, at least for now!
For "development", any Treble Rom "type A" is good for our P Smart, so our development is elsewhere:

Do you have twrp or stock recovery?
I just came from moto G5 was flashing all day but once oreo got released it was bad news as moto didn't make it 64bit. Custom roms were incomplete broken camera etc serious lack of community and development, everyone was was excited to get back to stock. I'm loving this psmart!

Nokia 6.1 plus - downgrade from android Pie to Oreo? / Flashing stock firmware?

I updated to android Pie on my Nokia 6.1 plus TA-1103. It's too buggy and I don't like it a bit! Downgrading to Oreo "over the air" method via Nokia beta labs doesn't work for my carrier.
I see that official Oreo firmware is available for download. Is there any way to flash it back now when I am currently on Android 9.0 ?

These are definitely the zips of stock ROM. But these are designed to take you forward and not backward (unless a specially designed package is pushed by the company). So, your only means to downgrade is via Nokia Care channels or paid downgrade services available online.

It is the same for all WW variants of the device. So, you can flash any WW firmware if your bootloader is unlocked. Otherwise it is not possible to flash on your own.

Hi mate, PM me if your bootloader is unlocked and I can go though the steps to downgrade to 8.1
I've been shown how to do it and its tried and tested & working well.
If your bootloader is locked, then search for the paid service to unlock it. He will also downgrade it at the same time.
Nokia X6 with Custom Oreo ROM - How to load stock Android Pie 6.1 plus image
Hi,
I bought a Nokia X6 in September 2018 (6GB/64GB) and would like to install the Stock Nokia 6.1 Plus Android 9 image.
I see my phone is rooted and it shows the message "Your device has loaded a different operating system." everytime I start it and I have to use Magisk to hide several banking applications.
The phone works great and I knew it was going to be relased in Europe eventually, but I am scared to brick it by loading the Android 9 Image.
I already tried attempting the update through OTA but the zip file is ignored. Nothing happens.
I am new to this forum so I don't know if my question has been asked by someone else.
Can you please help me?
Thank you!
- - - Since I am reading that Pie is not that good, I would be happy to stay with Oreo as long as I can use stock and unroot. Have you got any tips for it? ---

It won't need root to install a different official ROM. The flash tools for internal usage don't need root.
You can check the device's bootloader status using Fastboot commands. Make sure fastboot drivers are installed. Then put your Nokia in Download mode. After that use the following command:
fastboot oem device-info

I downloaded ADB and fastboot, along with the latest Nokia X6 USB Drivers.
I am following the guide here : https://www.getdroidtips.com/nokia-6-1-plus-stock-firmware/#The_Advantage_ofStock_Firmware and I would like to avoid having the original X6 firmware (chinese) and use the 6.1 plus instead, but not sure which one.
Also, what is in your opinion the best XDA post I can follow for the upgrade? Is the one above ok? I just need to unroot my device and install the stock 6.1 Plus Oreo (or Pie if is getting better) making sure it will work with my Vodafone and Three UK Sim Card (which are working fine for now).

Actually, it depends on what condition your device is in right now. If the bootloader is unlocked (fastboot oem device-info), then you will be able to install the global firmware.
On the other hand if the device has a locked bootloader, then a tutorial alone won't help. You'll need to buy a remote flashing service to flash the global ROM onto the device. The flash tool needs to gain the flash permission from FIH servers to gain a temporary elevation to flash files to a locked bootloader.

Hi,
I followed this guide to go into fastboot mode: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/nokia/nokia-x6-2018/fastboot-mode/
When I do, I can only see "Download mode" on the top left and the big logo "powered by Android", that's it.
Is that correct or?
I allowed my bootloader to be unlocked, for the developer options, but I don't seem to find a way to boot in fastboot mode. I will try volume up + powerbutton shortly.

When I do, I can only see "Download mode" on the top left and the big logo "powered by Android", that's it.
Is that correct or?
I allowed my bootloader to be unlocked, for the developer options, but I don't seem to find a way to boot in fastboot mode. I will try volume up + powerbutton shortly.

The download mode = fastboot mode. So, you reached the right place.
The developer option setting has no use on a Nokia phone. It just does nothing. But since you're seeing that option, your bootloader is most likely still locked. If you are on July or an older Android Security patch, then you can unlock the bootloader by buyng an unlock key. After that you can unlock it and then flash the global firmware.

Hi, yes I think so at this point. I am on May security patch and it does not show any new updates when I check. I am thinking to unroot it at this point and keep it with Android 8.1 unrooted, but I am not sure I will get the updates from Nokia.
What do you think?
Thanks for your reply and I hope all this information is useful to the other members of the forum.
Update: I just bought the unlock code and waiting for it. I will let you know how it goes.
Downgrade from Android 9 to Android 8
Hello!
I downloaded this file: https :// drive.google.com/uc?id=1BUR6xrbgbVlMQDyHz6oXZpmPrlRuFYgY&export=download
from this forum: http: // forum.gsmdevelopers.com/nokia-android-phones/72857-nokia-6-1-plus-ta-1083-exclusive-tasted-firmware-ch_sameer.html
and apparently it's possible to downgrade from Android 9 to Android 8. The file contains the OST LA program and the stock ROM for TA-1083 (DRG-237B-0-00WW-B05) in .nb0 format. The program asks for user and password, but I read somewhere that it's possible to patch it or edit it with Notepad++. I'm new to this and I don't know how to use the program.
Can someone more experienced test this method and report back, please?

You cannot crack/patch OST LA. The patched version will work on bootloader unlocked devices only. For the others, there's no way to flash without having the login to server with account.
