[ INFO/FIRMWARE ] Firmware 23.0.1.A.3.12 + Root + Recovery

Finally!!
After using 2 days of reading and learning, I`ve got the latest firmware (23.0.1.A.3.12) from Taiwan rooted and with recovery working flawless.
And when "I" is beeing mentioned, ALL credits goes to: DooMLorD, [NUT], Phil3759, bin4ry, geohot and several others!
** DOWNLOAD: hxxps://mega.co.nz/#F!Lh422LgQ!qz_DQnBKzoXVTRTwx05Clw
** BEWARE: INSTALLATION SCRIPTS ARE NOT COMPLETE, YOU GOT TO READ THE README!
Sadly, the changelog for this firmware is missing all over internet, but there is definitly some APN / Carrier update and it contains some minor bugsfixes.
The device System UI also seems to be a bit smoother.

I think this update just to fix some issues of mobile signal of Taiwan's carriers, and some bloatware. I compared files' size in both of 167 and 3.12 firmware, seem nothing is changed.

noob questions
installing this, gonna delete wipe my cell ?

how do i root it ive already installed it through ota update.

no major update, its only a small carrier update.

Has anybody successfully rooted using this? Feel like there should be a bit more fanfare.....

Yes, I could try.
Does this script requires bootloader to be unlocked.????
Because my bootloader is still locked.
Waiting for the 14 days period to get over and get my unlock code.

You can update your p9 lite c185 using a small utility: firmware finder, it's on the Google play store... very easy to use..

You can also find the b150 rom hier:

Unlock/Lock OEM after Unlocking Bootloader

Hola!
Today Rommco05, venugopalu007 and I were talking about OEM unlocking and locking on this Question & Answer thread. As it was off topic for that thread so I opened this one for further discussion.
Rommco05 and I are not able to lock or unlock OEM after unlocking the bootloader but I found that venugopalu007 and some other people are able to do that. We don't understand how
Here is a screenshot of solid "Unable OEM unlock" button after unlocking bootloader
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here is another screenshot of "Unable OEM unlock" button from my device after unlocking bootloader
I'm sure some of us don't know how it is possible to lock/unlock OEM, Sooo we can discuss this here

Here are the screenshots again(In case it's was not visible in Xda Labs)

Oh, I see, mate please remove quote from OP. Don't looks too good. You can leave just nicks... thx
Click to expand...

I am sorry I didn't get you. What do you mean by quote? ?

After unlocking and removing the encryption by twrp(format data>type "yes")
try to switch the OEM option.

Rommco05 said:
I can't because H9... Saeem maybe can
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Report back if this work , i cannot do again becasue i dont have the rollback files right now .

Yeah, I will try but for the time I am stuck in bootloop for my luck. Cannot do anything on my phone for the last one and a half hour

Rommco05 said:
I mean I can't tested because I don't have Honor 8 and for Honor 9 waiting for stable twrp and anyway for H9 isn't full firmware for download (I don't understand why Huawei/Honor don't release with new phone full firmware for download) so Saeem if want can tested but here is still question (try to ask too ) where is rollback packages for another models?

Oreo update!

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-android-oreo-uk-unlocked/
Oreo is being pushed out in the UK, to unlocked phones (BTU, im pretty sure) the past day, is it possible for us to flash one of their firmwares on our phones? Or we have to wait for the update to roll out here?

The model that is being updated is the sm-g935f. It runs on a Exynos processor, but your sm-g935v runs on a snapdragon processor. Unfortunately, we have to wait.

My G935V got the update notification yesterday. You may want to try a force update to see if it will send you the oreo update.
NM it was just that 7.0 patch sorry if i got people excited, the google results were saying oreo.

Uggh. I miss rooting and unlocking bootloaders. No time to try this stuff anymore, and no idea if you can on the V Network.... Guess we wait.

S7 and s7 edge update has been halted because bootloops and restarts. Sammobile
