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

Where to download the official Chinese firmware for the Nubia Z17?

Hello
There is no international firmware for the Z17.
The vendors are putting custom ROMS with multilanguage with or without google services but they have a great inconvenience, you will not be able to receive updates by OTA.
Where to download the official Chinese firmware for the Nubia Z17?
How can it be installed? From SD, OTG ... through your recovery mode?

The official Chinese firmware can be downloaded here : http://ui.nubia.cn/rom/detail/42
For the installation, there is an upgrade guide in PDF format but you need a Nubia account to access it (and my Chinese knowledge is much worse than my English one)...

How can you tell that you've got a custom rom on it from the vendor?

Taken a look at the PDF file; basic steps 1) Backup information on phone 2)copy firmware zip file into the root directory of internal storage 3)update firmware 4)if there are problems, factory reset after update
Only step (3) looks a little different from other phones; basically you should go Settings - Privacy & Security - Select "Slide to unlock" to reset screen unlock to simple slide to unlock and then Settings - Firmware Update - Local Update - Select the zip file for the firmware you want to update to
Hope this helps.

Basically we should put the official firmware on for ota updates and the possibility that they may allow Google apps?

In my Rom there is nothing related to Firmware and/or Update.

In your firmware there are Google services? If yes, make backup pls your firmware

Ok, but how do I do it?
Booting into recovery also does not Show anything related to upgrade. Only one is called boot into edload.
And it says System is root - 1 and Boot is root - 1.

Well i checked. And i think it's impossible. Where did you buy phone? Or for which country

I bought it from cect-shop.com.
They told me that I have to wait for an international Rom from nubia, which would be APPLIED via a PC.
I do have Google Services on it. Some things are buggy.

Hey Thomas, i ordered my Phone from the cect-shop, too and it will arrive on July 11th.
Which version is your Z17? 6/64 or 6/128 ?

It is the 6/64 Version. The 8/128 was not available.
It is good Phone but needs time to get used to coming from Stock Android.

It can only be downloaded if you have the extraction password, that it what Baidu is asking for.

You can find it also here (GeekBu...). It is the release 2.44. I didn't have a look "inside".

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.

It seems to me you have got yourself a wrong RUU. The ones from the post are for India, not Taiwan.

We don't have RUU 8.0. Try boot to download mode and flash TWRP recovery. Downgrade to Nougat (7.0).

FSC file to flash Android Pie to XZ2 Premium?

Hi, I have recently bought an XZ2 Premium imported from Hong Kong, which seems to be the last region to receive the Android Pie update. As Flashtool doesn't have an FSC for Android Pie, I am unable to flash a different region's firmware. Would anyone be able to provide a script so that I can flash my phone please?

I used newflasher, but I flashed it two times.
First time with newflasher excluding persist.sin file not to loose the Android Attest Key and then second time with Xperia Companion repair to be sure.
see my post about newflasher here

I'm not sure how I feel about using something I've never used before and I don't want to lose all my data by flashing.

What I ended up doing was flashing a different region's version of Nougat with Flashtool, and then it updated to Pie automatically.
UK ROM for single-SIM devices: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904007092
UK ROM for dual-SIM devices: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904006585
I only used the UK ROM because it was the easiest one to find, but feel free to use whichever. The Hong Kong handsets are literally the only ones still waiting for Pie.

Thank you very much. i was just thinking about the same thing: to flash nougat and upgrade to pie via ota then.
Yeah..i have the hk version....and it's frustrating to see how much time they need to let be available pie!

Hoping to do what pleases, I want to inform you that I have upgraded to pie (without deleting any existing data) following the advice of the friend above. So: 1) I downloaded the UK firmware into the flashtool folder. 2) Start the flash without flagging any box related to the data wipe. Wait approximately 20 minutes. (note that the flashtool process stops with the writing "disconnected phone, connected in flash mode, and not with" flash terminated, disconnect the device). Restarted .... in 2 minutes I detected the update available to android pie. 3) Download and install the update of about 1.01GB. Everything works perfectly. Thx again

I'm sorry, but that's not a solution for me. This would involve completely resetting the device, starting it as if it were the first time, and after updating to the latest version of 9.0, re-reset to factory settings so that you can take the backup copy of Google, since the latest copies of Security are not compatible with previous versions. When you have 15 applications it can be simple, but I have 190, most with different passwords. That's why I want only the .fsc file, so I can change the version without losing data.

You don't have to reset the phone at all if you do it the way I did it. Resetting my phone isn't a solution for me either, which is why I didn't try the other suggestion made here of using newflasher.

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.

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.

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.
