ChevronWP7 might have broken you WP7 device - Surround General

"Because the tool is, in Microsoft”s words, “breaking phones”, I have taken it offline at their request.
While the number of users impacted by this utility is small, I would at least like to communicate that I”m sorry if this tool causes any issues down the road. In a follow-up post, I’ll detail what your next steps should be as official support isn’t an option at this time."

So if you unbranded your phone and got the update as if you were in Hungary with a VPN would that be the same as using the tool?
Sent from my T8788 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

i keep reading the Hungary method id the safe method

How do I do The Hungary Way?

both methods UNSAFE .
all simple . if update does not approved by carrier .. update counts as Beta TEST . and machine state ( unknown )
you can force only beta test update.without signature and machine state packet
1. generic platform update
2. testing by ALL CARRIERS
3. approving by carriers
4. distributing
that means next update check will end with ERROR
ps- testing looong process . and could not be done on DAYS ..
for example RTM NODO build was ready in NOV 2010 but distribute in march
pps= all have POPCORN ? ms could use his banhummer as well .. for preunlocked phones . gonna wait next step of drama

I did the this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013610 and I got the latest update (7392) fine through Microsoft and Zune.

Something is not right with My I9000, please help!

Hi,
being so keen to upgrade to froyo, I've been checking for firmware update via kies on daily basis, I kept getting "the device's version can not be updated" message, which i suspected from day one as with other users it kies should show the device firmware version and the current one, but in my case it only shows teh current and this message!
please check the attached screen capture image with the version numbers
appreciating your help
That's normal. It's just a bad english translation. It just means that there are no updates available for your phone..
I think it's better to have "You have the latest version available" than "This version cannot be upgraded" - both are possible in Kies. I had the second message while my phone was sitting on JG5 firmware from July and didn't want to install newer JM1 from August. Once I toyed a bit with product code, sales code (inside the phone) and software version (in Windows Registry) it offered me an upgrade to JM1 and now it says I have the latest version. My problem was in the fact that I bought an unbranded (I thought so) phone but it turned out to have a branded product code and Kies didn't allow me to upgrade it.
Thanks all,
but is it normal not to have any version number next to Phone???
Thanks
There must be something unstandard written in the device or really an empty string where phone software version should be. It seems the hundreds of variants of software they made for x countries each with 2-4 providers made mess of version control. I guess tricking kies to believe you have one of the more standard roms would do the trick and allow you to upgrade.

Update from build NBD90M to NBD90X

Hi everyone, how can I update from my currently build NBD90M to the last one NBD90X? (On Android 7 release in August I agreed to beta program and then deleted my registration)
Thankss
Wouldn't be in a hurry, my phone can only make emergency calls, nit sure if this is the reason it it happened after I updated the software.
You should've gotten an OTA, but you can also download the official OTA from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota
My connectivity issue has been resolved, Meteor blocked my phone as I made one or two "long duration calls" from Morocco to Ireland, after which I reverted back to a Meditel sim until I left Morocco, it took a week to resolve the issue online as I could only make emergency calls, what a shower of twats letting me in the lurch like that, I pay by direct debit monthly and have never defaulted with a payment, shower of muppets.
Download the OTA package referenced above.
The follow the pinned forum post on how to apply a full OTA package...
Then load the package you downloaded.
I was in the same boat as you and thats what I did... no lost data or anything.
I can't find the pinned forum sorry or not sure is the right one, can you post the link please?
I can also provide a data point. I enrolled in the beta program initially when Nougat was announced, so that I could get the stable version of 7.0 quicker before the OTA was released via my carrier (T-Mobile). Then after I got the software update notification for build NRD90U and installed it, I unenrolled from the beta program. But I didn't get any OTA for build NBD90X, because I guess it's still 7.0.
I wanted NBD90X though because that's one of the build numbers for 6P that's listed as working to get the Google Assistant on my phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-enable-google-assistant-t3477879). So I downloaded the OTA build NBD90X from the google developer website as mentioned above, and sideloaded it using ADB. It worked well for me and didn't wipe my user data or anything. Although I did lose data when I had to unlock the bootloader as part of getting the Google Assistant though .

UK Honor 8 EMUI 5 / Android N BETA Test

Good news Honor 8 owners we are giving some of you the chance to help us test out EMUI 5 and Android N on your Honor 8. Sounds great yeah? Just remember this is going to be pre-release software, things may be broken, you may end up struggling to use your phone, but that's all good we want you to help us find & squash the bugs.
So what do you need to do to get the new stuff on your phone? Well that is easy, you install an app, enroll on the project and then towards the end of the month we will be pushing out the OTA to those that have had their applications approved.
So what do you need?
- An Honor 8 (FRD-L09)
- To be based in the UK.
- To have an active SIM card in your phone.
- To be on build number C432B131
- It cannot be bootloader unlocked, it cannot have a custom recovery or be rooted to receive the OTA.
You can get the APK for the BETA app & the guidelines for how to install and enroll here. Once downloaded install it on your phone, when you run the app on your phone you will be prompted to either log into an existing Huawei ID account (the one you use to download EMUI themes will do) or to create a new one, once done you can accept the terms
To enroll on the BETA test you will need to be on build number B131, an OTA to update UK Honor 8 from B120>B131 will be rolling out today, once you are on B131 you can enroll on the BETA test.
Numbers are limited, when we hit the limit of enrolled users that is it. This is a project to help find bugs and issues before the general rollout of future updates for the Honor 8. It is not a general public rollout. We will be hosting discussions here in the forums to discuss bugs etc and to post details about future updates for the BETA.
If you have problems either installing the APK, signing into Huawei ID or enrolling on the BETA please leave the following details below and we will get back to you.

Country you are using the phone in:
Current Build Number:
Model Number:
Issue:
Update – 18/11/2016
There are two new versions of the Huawei BETA APK have been made available for use in this BETA test for the Honor 8.
During the initial enrollment and rollout phases of the Android N BETA test across Europe a bug became apparent. With the initial version of the app, if a user was to update to Android N and then perform a factory reset, they would be unable to reinstall the app, meaning that they could no longer submit bugs. This bug was due to a slight incompatibility with the app and Android N.
So to solve this issue there are two new versions of the app, one for users running Android M and want to enroll on the BETA and another for users on Android N and who want to submit bug reports or to leave to the BETA project.
Whichever version you have please download the APK from the links below, copy it to your device and then install it using the file manager. These updated apps will overwrite your existing apps. If you are on Android N running the BETA app version V2.1.10 then you do not need to worry, just continue to use the app as you were and update the app once you are on Android N.
As mention there are two versions for you to use.
Beta 2.2.12 - Android N: This can be downloaded from here.
Beta 2.1.12 - Android M: This can be downloaded from here.
Any questions about the updated BETA APKs please leave comments below.
Update - 24/11/2016
Good news, for those users who want to go back to Android 6 (Marshmallow / EMUI 4) the rollback packages are now available for the FRD-L09 and FRD-L19 models, along with the FRD-L09C432B131 firmware for you to restore your Honor 8 to the state it was in before the BETA.
So you may be wondering how all of this works, basically you need to download two things, the rollback package and the Android M firmware. Below are the links for all of the files.
FRD-L09
FRD-L09 Rollback Package - Download from here.
FRD-L09C432B131 Android M Firmware - Download from here.
FRD-L19
FRD-L19 Rollback Package - Download from here.
FRD-L19C432B131 Android M Firmware - Download from here.
The rollback package contains two files, a dload folder containing an update.app and a PDF explaining the process. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE PDF before you start the process, also ensure anything you may need is backed up beforehand as YOUR PHONE WILL BE RESET during this process. To do the rollback you need to extract the contents of the RAR file and move the dload folder onto the SD card on your phone, it cannot be put on the internal memory and the SD card cannot contain any other dload folders, update.app files or update.zip files. Follow the instructions in the PDF about how to flash the rollback firmware and then once the phone has rebooted you will be ready to flash the Android M firmware. Again follow the instructions in the PDF, extracting the dload folder from the compressed folder and moving it to your SD card. Follow the same method as before and your phone after a short period of down time will reboot onto build number C432B131.
Again any queries, questions or comments about any of the process mentioned here please leave a comment below.

This is for UK. Based on Model, it will vary.
Currently the Beta test is conducted for US, UK and Indian Variant.
Hi there. At the moment in Europe the BETA test is only for UK and France. Further countries may come in the following weeks.

Well they have confirmed UK and France, Germany should be coming in weeks other countires in europe: later. We will see.
If you had beta tests previously for devices in Greece I can't see any reason why you would not have now.
Sorry to says this but Switzerland won't be part of the BETA test.

How come only certain countries are part of the beta? Why don't you rather do an XDA community beta. I think the feedback would be Great, because XDA community is spread all aroubd the world and has tech savy users that can give valuable feedback.

I don't think Greece had beta tests previously. With OTAs I meant regular ROM updates.
Hope that Greece will eventually be part of the beta and the update in general.
After all, they say that EMUI 5 aesthetics are inspired by the Aegean Sea. It will be kinda a shame to not roll it out in Greece

Its because of the change in models and the changes depending on the carriers, sponsors etc.
Each model will have different update. So XDA beta can't happen unless there is only one variant across the globe.

This is bollocks, whole EU has the same model, FRD-L09. It is just easier for them to control the beta experience if they release it in closed of groups in only a few countries, because they can better tailor it to the carriers. But even if the beta isn't customised for local carriers it should work continent-wide, networks are using largely the same frequencies, give or take a few LTE bands.
So I still think, XDA betas could be done, was there enough interest from the manufacturer.

You have answer for your question yourself.
Beta is also customized for the carriers and according to local sponsors, Guideliness specific to that region. Its easy to speak about give and take etc... But for implementation, it is not possible.

Mate 9 MHA-L09C316

Hi Guys
Just picked my new Huawei mate 9. So far so good..
But i have an issue with updates. My version is MHA-L09C316B150. Im checking for updates but the update system says i have the latest version.. I checked on this thread that the oreo update is out. Will i be able to update my phone to the MHA-L09 version listed here?
Also can someone explain what the C316 is? I see there is C33, C632 etc
Just to add, my device has the last security update from Jan 2017.. Wtf.. Why has no further updates been done..
Value after C in build number is region/localization.
List of known regions is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/regions-mate-9-region-codes-t3555086
But I didn't find C316.
Where are you from? Is your phone selling in stores or you got it from mobile operator by contract?
You can see available stock ROMs for your phone in Firmware Finder. Enter model MHA-L09C316 in search.
I did it, but FF did not find anything about your region. There are two options: stock ROMs for C316 are existing, but FF does not know where are they. Or Huawei did not post them to HiCloud.
If I have had phone with rare region, I will rebrand it to more popular region. It is too hard process for newbie. You have to read about unlock bootloader, TWRP, patched recovery, different models and regions. But staying on region C316 you may not receive any update even. By my experience, Huawei updates popular regions and does not care operator's versions.
As alternative you can ask provider (if phone by contract), write to Huawei or wait for update.
@ 5[Strogino] Thanks for feedback
Im from South Africa and yes the phone is on contract. Network is Vodacom which is part of Vodafone.. I dont understand why this stupid network didnt issue the international region as most phones come with European software installed or even middle east areas. I agree with you, i will have to rebrand my device. I have done flashing on samsung and LG phones but this is my first Huawei.. will read up on some posts and attempt.
was trying to update with Huawei updater 2.0 and hisuite, no luck.. gives me no internet connection error.. tried editing hosts file too but no luck
Finally managed to to install Android 8 and rebrand my device to europe firmware.. testing now.

It's an official beta, but still a beta.
Oreo for Mate 9 should arrive in December or January for everyone.
Right now you can only install beta by applying in Huaweis beta app, or cheat and use Hwota as you did
It's a very stable beta.
