Hi all,
I have my P8 Lite with ALE-L21C15B140 from a Portuguese Telecom called NOS, and I can't update to any version that supports Dual SIM.
Everytime I try this method,
From folder Step1, move complete dload folder to root of microSD card (so, result path should looks like this: H:\dload\UPDATA.APP, for example);
Insert microSD card to the phone, power up phone normally;
Wait for the phone to boot up, and microSD card to be recognized and usable;
Dial *#*#2846579#*#*;
Go to “ProjectMenu” -> “Upgrade” -> “SD card upgrade” and confirm upgrading. Wait until upgrade step finishes, and message “Update Complete” is shown. Device will reboot:

the error is always the same: http : // www . emui . com / emotiondownload . php ? mod=restore. Powerkey to confirm reboot system now.
Can someone, please, provide me a "noob" step by step guide so that I can active Dual-Sim support on the device?
Thanks :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the reply
I am trying to flash this version: ALE-L21V100R001C432B046b (2 Steps version), and yes the guide said that this is trough local update.
No, I don't have my bootloader unlocked. Do I need to unlock it?
Best Regards

Awesome, thank you! Getting ready to finally open up my phone today and request the bootloader unlock by calling Huawei as @Tkkg1994 suggested. Going to install TWRP and root (the big thing I was waiting for - once you root, it's hard to go back to stock, lol). I hope we get xposed soon...I read in the recent xda article that it's almost there for Nougat.

I am a complete newbie in this so I have a question:
my unit is model mha-al00 ...its bought in china.
my question is, is it possible to flash it with south east asian firmware I.e. singaporean firmware, and if so, which firmware number is that and is it available on Duaraa server?
if not, then if I flash with european firmware, will all functionality and software features of the phone work without problem?
thanks and sorry if I asked stupid questions.
---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------
one more question, is there such thing as international firmware? is that the same as european firmware?
---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------
so by flashing non chinese firmware, can someone confirm that app twin will allow using double whatsapp account instead of wechat?

Yes, European firmware is basically international firmware. It's actually updated more quickly than south asia region firmware. You should try and flash it and see if you like it. Basically, the firmware is all either Chinese or non-Chinese. The non-Chinese firmwares are more or less the same.
You will lose some functionality here and there. Themes will not work any more, for example. Your biggest gain will be better google integration. Please try it and see. Should you want to, you can always flash back to Chinese firmware afterwards.
App twin will not work with WhatsApp unless you unlock your bootloader and flash a non-Chinese oeminfo. I have done that, but you need to get the unlock code from Huawei.
Since I'm on MHA-L29 C636b110 South Asian firmware and want to be up to date:
1) Should I just change my dns to your recommended dns in the B126 thread as @alexhee did and update via OTA before unlocking my bootloader and proceeding to install twrp and root?
OR
2) Should I use this thread's method, permanently change my oeminfo to non-chinese C432, update to latest B126 via OTA, unlock my bootloader, and proceed to install twrp and root?
**Should my bootloader be unlocked before any of the two methods above?**
Really appreciate any help and advice on BEST method to keep all functionality.

Because you have the South Asian firmware, I may have to make modifications to support your device on this server.
Please give it a try using the free code, and see if it works.

Ok will do, thanks. So, it's better to change my oeminfo by doing your FunkyHuawei method as opposed to changing the DNS on the router and downloading the B126 OTA via system update as @alexhee did? http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/ota-b126-available-france-t3514682/page3

As I understand until now, you only support Chinese and European phone version, and convert the firmware between this two, right?
So if I have C185B110, I can't flash with your method?

You should be able to flash any of the European firmwares using the HiSuite method. eRecovery method will not work unless I customize a version for your phone.
I've just tested the method (China => EU) works flawlessly. Thanks a lot

If you're going to change oeminfo, my FunkyHuawei method will be a portion of what you do, but you'll also need BL unlock and TWRP to completely change oeminfo. Basically, what you should do is PM me for more information once your BL is unlocked, and I'll walk you through it step by step because it's a delicate process and I don't want you to get a brick.

Thanks. I'll do that once I get my BL unlock. Have to wait for Huawei China to open in 8 hours in order to call because Huawei UK won't unlock it since the phone is Asia Pacific region.

2. HiSuite
------------------------------
This is where things get a little bit complicated. We use HiSuite to install non-authorized ROMs. For example, betas, or other ROMs that Huawei does not want people to install. From FunkyHuawei, you will see a link of a tool to download. You must download this tool if you wish to use the HiSuite installation method.

Sorry for this, but I can't find/see the link for the tool on your site. Can you tell how can I download FunkyHisuite.exe app?

Latest firmware?
How do I know which firmware is the latest ??
I have the duo sim EU version.
With yesterday the OTA 126 downloaded...
I saw on YouTube a 135 firmware..?
Thanx!!
Installation error (CHINA-TO-EURO)
I've set DNS correctly (verified by successfully getting to www dot funky huawei dot com. I requested the CHINA-TO-EURO firmware (and got "request successful), entered eRecovery on the phone, and went to download. As expected, firmware name was "FunkyHuawei". It gets all the way through the download process, but then at about 81% of installation, I get "Recovery failed" with an exclamation mark.
My phone is a MHA-AL00 running Chinese firmware.
Any ideas?
Does your tool supports the huawei mate 9 pro?
Is it possible to root P9 Lite mini in the same way as P9 lite?
no! i use same metod with twrp for p9 lite...now im stuck in bootloop
can anyone help me with stock recovery? and mode to connect to pc?
Hi you all,
I've already tried to flash various ports of the official TWRP: prague, berlin, hi6250, duk, frd, vtr, greatslon, elite, meticulus etc. None seems to run, each one makes the phone stuck in a bootloop.
Does anyone know which the right one is?
I found this...
I found this but it did not adapt to the version of our team (In my case SLA-l03) you can try it and comment how it has gone
goo.gl / VGD9S2 Apparently the device has more than 3 names

is yours maybe a Nova Lite 2017? If so, can you post here a link to direct download?
Is your phone a dual-SIM or a single-SIM?
Yours might be the right one.
I really appreciate all the help you can give me.
Thanks
---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------
If I have understood correctly, SLA-L02 and SLA-L03 are single-SIM models.
SLA-L22 and SLA-L23 are dual-SIM models.
So yours should be good for mine, too.
As I don't know Russian, so I ask you to post a link to download it directly.
Thanks
Good news
The device has names like Nova Lite 2017, Huawei Enjoy 7, Y6 Pro 2017 and P9 Lite Mini.
That may be the case, SLA-L02 and SLA-L03 are unique SIM models.
SLA-L22 and SLA-L23 are dual SIM models. (In my case SLA-l03)
Good news, apparently the Russian friends have managed to release root on our device, only the SLA-L22 version, for those who do not want to risk the device it is not recommended to use the method.
- TRANSLATED BY ME, I FEEL IT FOR BAD TRANSLATIONS--
STEPS.
1.- you must unlock the boot manager. (There are already methods) (there will be a typical warning notification every time you turn on your smartphone)
2.- Say the post, you must have the SLA-L22C10B120 or SLA-L22C10B130 patch.
3.- Use of the ADB tools and flash boot.img
If you want to restore your original boot.img, I leave them both (Root and Original) (maybe the system language is in Russian)
Mention: Maybe it works in SLA-TL10 or SLA-AL00
I can not put direct links, delete spaces:

---------- Post added at 03:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 AM ----------
The Chinese version is SLA-TL10 and SLA-AL00.
The name changes at will to versions of the world, same firmware, different name SLA-22
Thanks.
Unfortunately, the build name installed on my device is SLA-L02C432B133.
As you can see, we have different region codes. So I can't install the patched boot image you suggested.
There are no Russian firmwares neither here nor here. As I can't find and flash any Russian firmware, so I can't flash this patched boot image.
European region code is C432 and Russian region code is C10.
What do you think about flashing this boot image file? Is it worth it? Did you try it on your device? Does it work?
Let me know

I flashed the patched boot image file, but... Nothing happens, all remains the same.
It seems to be not pre-rooted. What do I have to do now?
SOLVED!
First, I installed Magisk Manager, then i flashed the prerooted patched_boot.img file. Now I have root permission.

Hi,
I just bought a Zenfone 3 (ZE520KL) and googled for a few hours to learn how to root it but I can't find any clear tutorial on how to do it.
Can someone point me in the right direction to root the phone with the latest update available ?
I'm sorry if the answer is obvious but I'm new to this
(Right now my phone is updated to the latest firmware)

Every post says "I'm not responsible for bricked devices". I've done some rooting in the past. Luckily all of them went well. What are the chances of this new Asus device to get bricked? has anyone ever had this problem? Just asking
I don't know the chances but I tried this and it worked for me.
---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------
Well, after unlocking bootloader, you have got to install twrp recovery before magisk
As long as we have working fastboot there is a slim chance we end up with bricked device. Follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/guide-how-to-root-zenfone-3-official-t3745650

Pie cannot be rooted. There is a method allowing you to downgrade the os. but maintaining the same boot loader revision. 5th digit from end of firmware.
You can then with safe strap install a rooted nougat system
