Hi
I'm struggling with updating my P8 Lite (Austria, single sim) and I would appreciate your help.
I downloaded the newest firmware C432B170 from the Austrian Huawei website but I just can't update.
Tried with the Updater's local update but it didn't work.
Tried with force update and that didn't work too.
I have unlocked bootloader, root and TWRP.
Can somebody help me out??

Ok, so this i fearly easy... (once you know it).
the problem is that you tried installing a European dual sim build on a Austria single sim build.
That's not gonna work does it?
1. make sure your device is a Ale-L21 (settings -> about phone -> modelnumber)
2. boot into twrp and wipe everything except sd card.
3. boot into bootloader (twrp can help you with it or just plug your device into the computer and power it on while holding volume down)
4.download this file
5. open the 'FLASH ALL' file in the folder and read the instructions on your screen
6. boot up your device and see that you have the balong bug and no reception. (settings -> about phone in the buildnumber it should say balongXXXXX)
7. take the file in the attachement of this post and unzip it
8. put the unzipt directory in the root of your sd/internal memory
9. go to settings->upgrade->menu->lokal update
10.select 'UPDATE.APP'
11.wait for it to start.
12.once it starts the balong should be gone in buildnumber
13. use the updater to update trough b170 if that doesn't work download it here and extract it and set it in a folder named dload on your sd/internal memory (delete the first file first) the do a lacal update to b170.
14 eat a sandwich because this is gonna take some time and by now you should be hungry
15. everything should work now. you should have 2 imei's and receptions.
make sure you got minimal adb installed (normally you do)
if you have location issues you can chance it by following this thread.

This worked!! Thank you so much for your help!! I really appreciate it!! :good:
I still have some questions though.
After this process, is my phone dual sim now?? Should I use dual sim version updates from now on???
Why should I have 2 IMEIs now?? It still shows only 1.

yes it's dual sim...
about the imei's i really don't now.
never had a single sim myself but it could be that you only have one. and yes you should upgrade dual sim software from now

Hello. My local store has a really good deal on the US variant (E5803) of the Z5 Compact. I've had on my eye on this phone but wanted the international version because I want fingerprint sensor.
I was told I can install the UK firmware to the US variant to get fingerprint sensor to work.
Does this require rooting the phone? The reason I ask is I use Good for Enterprise (for work) and it will not install if the phone is rooted.
Also, does anyone have a good how-to with how to get the latest/most stable UK firmware installed on the Z5C? First time trying anything like this so I'd appreciate some guidance.
Doesn't need root, just use flashtool and xperiafirm to download and flash the firmware - doesn't void the warrenty either

It's legit that simple, and usually if you screw something up you can always recover.
You can even flash a E5823 firmware onto your E5803 and it will still work exactly the same (Both Z5 Compact models offer the exact same software / hardware basically)
Download flashtool
Install flashtool
Go into C:\Flashtool\drivers and install fastboot, flashmode and Z5 Compact drivers
Open flashtool and click on xperiafirm (right hand side of the tool bar (circle icon)
Download your the firmware for your phone
After download is complete, in flashtool click flash (lighting icon) - flashmode - select the firmware you just downloaded and under the wipe section wipe userdata
And that's it, now your E5803 is now UK version, or whatever other one you downloaded

Hey, when I followed these steps to the new UK version ( 32.2.A.0.305 R13c) the fingerprint works, but it can't detect my sim card and the NFC goes bonkers. What version of the firmware do you use?

Okay easy fix for that.
Find your firmware (your first one, not UK) and tick all the boxes under exclude except for MODEM or BASEBAND

so your original firmware, what you are essentially doing is only flashing your network settings (3g etc)

I am still confused. I am flashing the Customized UK version on the phone. Where does the original firmware come into play?
Never mind folks. While playing with the phone I realized I am beyond disappointed in the camera picture quality. I'm returning it. I think I'm gonna get a Samsung Galaxy S7.

This did not work for me. I first flashed the UK version to get to its broken state with the SIM card. Then I flashed the US version ticking everything except MODEM, but it didn't work. The AUS version of the firmware worked though

Basically you flashed the UK firmware, but in order to fix the issues you have you need to flash your original US firmware, which you can also download via xperifirm tool. But from US firmware only flash MODEM and BASEBAND parts. So you have a mixed firmware.
(haven't tried this myself, just rephrasing what has been said earlier)
Will I lose camera quality if I flash other country fw?
Due to quite a bit of research, I now have faith in the rebranding method. I'd like to share the method and knowledge for rebranding with the XDA community.
Currently Available Rebrandings:
For Mate 9:
MHA-L29C432 (Dual sim, European version)
MHA-L29C10 (Dual sim, Russian version)
MHA-L09C432 (Single sim, European version)
MHA-AL00C00 (Dual sim, Chinese version)
For Mate 9 Pro:
LON-L29C636 (Mate 9 Pro, Int'l Version, Asia)
LON-L29C432 (Mate 9 Pro, Europe Version)
LON-AL00C00 (Chinese version)
Requirements:
1. (VERY IMPORTANT!!)THE DNS ON YOUR ROUTER MUST BE SET TO 37.114.61.203 -- Make sure this is done and it works before proceeding.MOD EDIT:Link to paid service removed If you can not set your DNS server on your wifi router, you might not be able to recover your phone. Changing windows DNS settings will not help!. The setting must be done on your wifi router. Consider this your warning!
2. External storage (SD card or USB OTG for Mate 9, and USB OTG for Mate 9 Pro)
3. Bootloader code
4. Ability to install TWRP (Check the TWRP thread)
5. MOD EDIT:Link to paid service removed A way to flash firmware to Mate 9.
(NOTE: The partition table is different between versions, and MOD EDIT: Link to paid service removed is the only method I know of right now that can handle changing those. If you use another method and brick your phone, please don't blame me.)
Steps:
0. Before starting, do a full factory reset from the Settings, Advanced Settings menu.
1. Unlock your bootloader, and install TWRP. For instructions doing this, check the TWRP thread.
2. With your external storage inserted into your phone, enter TWRP by holding Volume Up key without USB cable attached to your computer.
3. Once in TWRP, go to the backup menu, and make a backup of your oeminfo partition.
4. Turn off your phone.
5. Put the SD card or USB drive into your computer, look in the TWRP folder, and find the oeminfo backup.
6. Replace the files in the backup with the same files from the download link below for the version you want to rebrand to. Keep your original files somewhere safe so you can go back if you need to.
7. Put the SD card or USB drive back into the phone, boot back into TWRP, then restore the oeminfo partition you just modified.
8. REMOVED flash the firmware that matches the model you rebranded to. REMOVED
9. After the flash has finished, boot into recovery by holding volume up key. Choose the second option to wipe data/factory restore, then choose the third option to wipe cache. Your phone will now boot.
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE AFTER FLASHING (Wrong version number, no OTA update in the menu, etc.):
1. Perform a factory reset from the setting menu, then do eRecovery again.
2. Ensure that you chose a compatible firmware.
NOTE:
It is very likely you will have trouble after the first flash. You will most likely need to flash TWICE with eRecovery.
oeminfo links:
Thank you for your help.
I've done the conversion almost as you sad but I encounter some problems.
So I started from MHA-AL00C00 and wanted to have MHA-L29C432
1. I've installed TWRP and backup-ed/ restored the oeminfo from your download link.
2. After the oeminfo restore and reboot the phone was in a booting loop - I could't get into TWRP anymore- I could only go into fastboot or into eRecovery.
3. As I didn't have the posibility to get access to modify the DNS on router (I was not home) I flashed MHA-L29C432B138 using HiSuite method.
After succsfully flashed I still have the normal bugs like directly flashing the EU software - Themes do not work, wallpaper changes to default, no Update, etc...
Right now on the phones it shoes :
Model Number : MHA-L29
Build number : NRD90M test-keys
Can you give some advice how I can rebrand it so it is full functional on EU software ? Is the eRecovery the only method I should use ?
Thanks

Hello.
To clarify, do you mean that you put the phone in fastboot and used HiSuite?
If it's possible, you should use eRecovery. I know that fastboot+HiSuite will not work correctly for rebranding (it will have the side effects you mentioned) but you might be able to try booting the phone, then using HiSuite update function.
But the way which is most successful is eRecovery. This goes for flashing regular updates as well. HiSuite is more convenient, but eRecovery is more reliable.

You don't need to touch TWRP again. Just use eRecovery method, and it should work. HiSuite/fastboot is only good for recovering a previous version, not good for flashing a new version.

Use erecovery to install the correct firmware.
Is it possible to rebrand from MHA-AL00 to MHA-L29C636, or MHA-L29C900. I'm living in China, and would like to receive OTA updates, I do have a SIM card from the Philippines. Thanks
Just to confirm , if you use HiSuite you will not get OTA and themes,etc just like reflashing without changing oeminfo. If you use eRecovery everything goes as intended. I haven't try to flash the firmware with Two or other similar. I just used funkyhuawei for both methods.
I wanna rebrand a phone (Chinese to International) but the monthly payment seems to me ridiculous, once I rebrand it I don't see the need to use the service anymore, it should be a one time payment.

I've tried the eRecovery again. But gave me error msg of: Getting package info failed. And the bootloader didn't relock itself.
NEW Instructions: Dated July 10th 2018
Should work on all Snapdragon USA/Canada models (ATT , verizon, sprint, tmobile tc) Tested on S8+ and S8, should work on Note 8 if you have right files. S9 switched to a different CSC format, so it's not possible to use this method for S9 models.
Keep your Jio/Any other VoLTE enabled indian carrier SIM in the phone all along.
Check your Bootloader version first (Download matching files only)
(Identify your bootloader version > Go to Settings > About phone > Baseband version under software info should show something like G955USQU4CRE9 The fourth number from right is your bootloader version. If you try to flash any lower version (BL 3 to BL 2), ODIN will fail and phone will show Fused 3 binary 2 error. So, choose the file versions matching your bootloader. You can go higher but not lower. Means BL 2 can be flashed with BL 3 or 4 but not with 1 (most of the times).
1.Back up your data using Samsung smart switch or any other means (save whatsapp chats to google in settings)
2.Flash matching stock firmware (On unzipping stock FW, you'll get AP, CP,BL and CSC files. Use Odin to flash them) (Don't flash User data file if it's there in extracted files)
Recommended Odin https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
Please find latest stock roms on Updato website
S8+ models
CRE2 for BL version 1, 2,3
or CRE9 for BL 4
S8 models
CRE2 for BL 1,2,3 or CRE9 for BL4
Note 8 models
BL 1,2,3 or CRE1 for BL4
3. Download sec_omc.zip specific to your model
INS OMC Dec 2018 version for s8+ or For Note 8 or For S8
4. Download and unzip combination rom (You'll get a file ending in tar.md5) (Matching file only)
For s8+ models or Mirror, Another mirror with BL5 files
Another for BL5
For s8 Models or
another mirror for S8
Note 8 combination files or Mirror or BL 4 version BL5 version
If you want updated combination files of the same models, search on xda or shell.boxwares.com or firmware.gem-flash.com yourself before asking others.
5. Open Odin (princecomsy version) and click on AP, choose the file you extracted in step 4
6. Put your phone in download mode (hold the Power button, Volume Down button, and the Bixby button until Download mode screen is seen. Press Vol up to confirm).
7.Connect your phone to PC. You should see "Added" in log of Odin and see a com port appearing on top left.
8) Click on start tab. If everything goes well, you'll see "PASS" on top left. Let it boot to Factory binary once.
9) Boot your phone to recovery mode (hold the Power button, Volume up button, and the Bixby button until samsung screen is seen).
10) Install "minimal ADB fastboot" program on PC, Copy the sec_omc.zip to your minimal ADB folder on computer (under program files on C drive).
Double click cmd-here.exe in that folder.
11) Connect your phone to your computer with your USB cable and in phone select Apply update via ADB in recovery screen (Navigate with vol bottons and select with Power btn).
12) On ADB window on PC type "adb devices" without quotes. Next line should show a device attached
If seen, type "adb sideload sec_omc.zip" without qoutes. It'll start transferring the file.. check mobile screen it'll install itself. (you might see some errors)
13) Once your phone reboots, you will see an "IME" button on the bottom). Tap on it and type *#243203855#
14) On resulting window, if you see INS in the list, click over it and click install and select full customisation.
15 Your phone will reboot to the 'factory binary homescreen', go to ADB on your computer and type in "adb shell".
16) Type in echo "INS" > /efs/imei/mps_code.dat (Please make note of the space between " and > and /)
You won't get any confirmation.
17) Now flash the full Stock firmware matching your bootloader via ODIN (BL, AP, CP, CSC files (not home csc)
18) After the flashing, phone will reboot. Don't setup any accounts yet. Boot to recovery and select "apply update via ADB" (Like step 11)
19) Sideload the CSC zip (similar to step 12) and let it reboot.
20) On reboot, you should see INS/INS/xxx under software info (xxx is your factory csc version) and VoLTE icon should appear.
Possible glitches
1. Phone app force closing
Reflash AP BL CP only excluding CSC
Install OMC zip via adb
2. Messaging app FC
Install S9 sms app or google messaging
2. Sprint OMADM app needs to be removed to avoid annoying notification or change notifications to low priority
To remove via ADB, turn on usb debugging
type in adb shell
you should see a dollar sign.
next type in pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.omadmspr
it should say success.
If you want to extract OMC zip for a different model device, watch this video.
https://youtu.be/giD7nP4Oue4
The file needed to extract is attached to this post (omc extract)
Thanks to @jrkruse for the idea of flashing CSC zip from exynos to snapdragon
@Mike15678 for carrier switch thread
@chetan180 for trying carrier switch to INS
@anarasgarli for combination files links
Does this have the same issues as root like 80% battery and safetynet failure?
Is it possible to perhaps install the CSC and then unroot?

No rooting involved with new method.. so no battery issues.
Isn't there any multi csc rom available for snapdragon variants
So we could stick to stock nd get indian csc on it

Update: now Possible to stick to stock with INS CSC.
No. There are no custom roms for US models. Soon we might get modified stock versions but all will involve Rooting first then every rom will be flashed via Flashfire only.
So we have to give up Spay etc that depend on Knox.

Mine is 8+.
Make sure you have a jio sim inserted during the process.
Anyway.. try this zip with Only INS CSC in it (previous one had XAA-usa unlocked CSC also) and report.
If that does not work, try the attached zip (Worked with s7/note 5).
Let me know which one worked.
thanks.

There's a chance once devs get a way of flashing custom builds of stock and then flash normal boot instead of engg boot after unrooting (like s7 edge).
They are still working on it. If they come up with a method... I'll try to provide an updated zip that supports such rom.(they'll be stock modified roms)
cant follow instructions
hi.. unable to follow instructions to do it correctly... any video tutorials or in depth instuctions for novice like me will help greatly... reason i am writing to u is am from hyd as well. any help will be appreciated ... thanks

No. There are no custom roms for US models. Soon we might get modified stock versions but all will involve Rooting first then every rom will be flashed via Flashfire only.
So we have to give up Spay etc that depend on Knox.

Firmware updates after rooting through flashfire.
As u mentioned in ur thread, after finishing all the process how to flash new firmwares through flashfire. Please give me step by step method. only systemimg file or whole zip or ap and all files.
Hi The link for rooting is for the S8+ should we use the same files for the S8?
I flashed the canadian firmware using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3627255 -- to my unlocked VZW S8 can I do the same with this India firmware?
s8+
hello,
i have s8+ of US AT&T model is sm-g955u
it is unlocked can u please tell me how can i enable volte feature in my phone so i can use jio sim without jio4g voice app
I am a layman but I wish to get VoLTE on my S8 (not S8+) international version purchased from USA. Kindly help me with step by step protocol and also warn me of possible issues that I may face. Thank you in advance
i need help
how to do this can you please tell me step by step process (
nimms said:
This is specifically for indian carrier, JIO 4G.
Now that root is available, We can install S8 india CSC and get VoLTE on USA-Snapdragon sim unlocked phones.
First root with the help of this thread till Part 1
Then during part 2, instead of "Add CSC Systemroot" file, use the modified file with India and XAA-USA CSC
This will flash INS CSC along with XAA CSC. This zip was made by @jrkruse for US carriers... I've just added INS CSC to it and removed other US carriers stuff.
Or.. If you just want Indian CSC Use this file (no XAA) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-Kp4aJsfti2NFhFR2NtRHc3ajA
Download only one of the 2 files please..
Order in flashfire should be Wipe > System.img.ext4 > QG2_ADD_INS_CSC_SYSTEMROOT.zip
It might take a few seconds to acquire signal. if not, try toggling aeroplane mode off and on, then see.
VoLTE is working for me. (I have a sprint version of s8+)
If still fails, make sure you have Jio Sim in the phone while you are doing this procedure.
Credit goes to respective thread owners to whom i linked (Root team and jrkruse).

If you are new to this, find a friend near by who can do it for you. This is not a first timer's job.

You need experience in doing such stuff buddy. Not worth it if some thing goes wrong. If you can't follow the steps, i would say leave it.

Anyway, i got a note 8 now. May not be able to support you guys.
Good evening everybody, i've bought a couple of months ago a used p10 lite. OS version is 8.0.0.046(08c0) and i've never received any update. I have also tried with firmware finder but every firmware seems not compatible. Another problem i have is that for many apps my phone appears as rooted, but it isn't really. The fact is i don't really care about OS version, i can deal with that, what i need is to "unroot" this device because i really need those apps. Could you please help me solve this problem and understand why my phone is stucked in this version? Thank you very much
Are you sure the previous owner hasn't unlocked the bootloader or rooted the phone?

It seems like the previous user has probably installed wrong firmware for this phone, that's why you have that weird version number
(e.g. installed single sim firmware for a dual sim device)
Anyway use the dload method https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/service-rom-b362-c432-upgrade-o-o-n-o-t3813946
This will wipe storage so back up your data. Also you'll need a SD card.

Hi! sorry for the late reply, i tried the dload method following the steps. The process ran smoothly but it didn't change my system version, it is still 8.0.0.046 but now instead of (08c0) it is (0KHD) and no there was no data wipe.

First of all is your device C432 (Europe) model.
Those firmware provided in that link are only for C432 devices. Also did you use the right firmware.
Was-lx01 - single sim, 3 GB of ram
Was-lx21 - double sim, 3 GB
Was-lx01A - single sim, 4 GB
Was-lx21A - double sim, 4GB
Use only one of those.
Also make sure that you used the Emui 8 to Emui 8 upgrade method provided in that link and the forced method (hold both vol+ and vol- while rebooting).
Your build number should be something like WAS-LX1 8.0.0.390(C432).
WAS-LX1 is your phone model
8.0.0.390 is the version of the firmware
C432 is devices region
Of course these would be probably different for your device.

My device is italian, so i think it's a c432 one. It is was-lx01A. I downloaded the correct rom, unzipped it and placed it in my microsd as written in the guide and done the force method. The process runs smoothly, no errors at all. Then the smartphone restarts but there's no data wipe and no update, the only thing that changed is that number at the end of the firmware

Do you know your devices carrier? Some carriers have different regional numbers. If it's Telecom Italia (Tim) then your device region would be c55 or if it's Vodafone then it would be c02 and so on.

Ok, after some searching I found Was-lx01AC02 firmware on androidhost.ru, it's B376.
[url]https://androidhost.ru/1JVs[/URL]
For some reason all the C02 firmware is 3.31 GB while all the C432 firmware is 4.43 GB.
Edit: fixed the link

Well then I don't know what's the issue.
Anyway the reason some of your apps wont work is probably because you fail SefetyNet. To make sure that that is the case open Google Play Store, go to settings and check if your device is certified or install a SafteyNet test app from the Play Store.
You can actually check your devices region and model with ADB to make sure that it actually is WAS-LX01AC02.
You'll need a PC for that.
Firstly install ADB and Fastboot using this tutorial https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/.
Then connect your device to your PC, change USB mode to file transfer, make sure that USB debugging is enabled, open powershell (or what ever terminal you're using) in the ADB folder and type
Code:
adb devices
This will show you the device's name (actually it's the serial number) and if adb works.
Then type
Code:
adb -s <device name> shell getprop ro.product.model
adb -s <device name> shell getprop ro.product.CustCVersion
adb -s <device name> shell getprop ro.hw.oemName
and see what they return.
If your device is Was-LX01AC02 then these should return WAS-LX1A, C02, WAS-L01 respectively, I think.
You can also do
Code:
adb -s <device name> shell getprop
This will return all of the properties and their values. You can also get a specific property by using the aforementioned commands but changing the last argument to the property name you want.
