Hey, today afternoon was so boring therefore I'm wondering around threads and then i found your update here.
You can try it out if your problem isn't solved yet. I think it'll help because it's the official nova 7.0 nougat version for Europe. Do reply so that others can benefit from your experience.

Your linking a old version of the Nougat update for the Nova variant CAN-L01C432 and the CAN-L11C432 which if your not careful could damage your phone if you don't have that version of the Nova. There is the CAN-L01C432/CAN-L11C432 variants, the MLA-L03C654 variant, the CAN-L01C02 variant and a couple of others I believe.

my bad i didn't know that there are these many variants.. Thank you for notifying

Hi everyone, my first post here.
Looks like im in the same situation.
I have Nova Plus from Bell/Virgin Canada. MLA-L03. Purchased it on Caraigslist and after 2 month they blacklisted my Imei. I decided to root the phone and maybe change imei as the phone was useless anyways. So i installed TWRP and rooted it successfuly .
The problem was that i could never get diagnostic port open for Qualcomm QPST program. So i upgraded to Nougar 7.0 ( NRD90M) it got UNrooted and i wanted tio install a newer version of TWRP, i guess i got a wrong version. Now its properly screwed up. I have FRP Lock in fasboot, it makes fastboot useless as i cant adb flash boot, or flash recovery. I can boot back to OS but OEM Unlocking is off and grayed out and FRP Lock blocks all communication, so ADB or Fastboot commands dont get through. i get "waiting for device" crap in command line. SD card upgrade doesn't work either. I dont know why and eRecovery wants to download update but fails all the time. I dont know how to get rid of FPR lock. If i find anything i will post here.

Pixel/Pixel XL (VZW User) Newb Support (You can Upgrade and flash with everyone else)

VERIZON UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY.
Yes you can unlock these things as long as they have never hit the network on Verizon )... EVER... (with a different CARRIER sim) I watched guy at Best Buy do it with a PIXEL and Pixel I guess the true issue is, you never know how or when they would be started especially on a refurb --- etc... Good Luck on that one...
First thread ever but the support scarce for VZW users (Specifically)and ROMs are scarce in generally. WE ARE SCARED TO DEATH to get the bootloader relocked... I've been flashing since the originally G1 and usually just keep my mouth shut stay humble and learn from every thread. I can't really find a lot of info on the VZW version and really the fear of locking the bootloader after trying so hard to get an nde64x ver on 7.1.0 to unlock was quite the endeavor in itself. I just wanted to pass along some info. Ask questions. If your an expert I'm sure this is pointless, but I just answered all of this for a friend that just switched to the Evil Red.
1. YOU CAN Flash the google updates (Not the ota but full system img using the flash all.bat)
DOWNLOAD THE FACTORY IMAGE NOT THE OTA (Google --- Factory IMG, Marlin)
- Download which ever from 7.1.0 to 8.1.0 unzip (I use 7zip but your windows programs can do the same
- Install your Fastboot/Adb and drop the EXTRACTED in your platform tools folder ... NOT the whole folder... but the items within the folder, into Platform tools (Should be 6 items including the flash all.bat) IT WILL NOT RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER BUT WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE UNLESS YOU GO IN TO MOVE THE -W SCRIPT
2. 7.1.2 roms aren't working well with the A B Slot issues recovery... I was losing my mind trying to get things to flash and finally come to the conclusion... TWRP-3.1.1-0-fastboot-marling.img and .zip are the only recovery I can install to get roms to flash... If I Fastboot or flash the -1 img (twrp 3.1.1-1) or the 3.2.1-0-marlin.img I have to flash back to stock to get roms flasheable again.
- Working TWRP Nougat twrp-3.1.1-0
Flash Away At that point... If you get stuck like me and install 3.1.1-1 or the Other 3.2.1-0 I had to return to stock because of the A-B partition issues and get back to 3.1.1.0 to flash roms and Kernels.
3. Oreo 8.1.0 works with the flash-all bat (Google FACTORY image). The Oreo version will NOT relock your bootloader!!!
- TWRP works on 3.2.1-0.
- Magisk 14.5 and 14.6 work on Oreo...
- Super Su SR5 works with SU Hide 1.09
- Sound mods are eluding me on Oreo but Weta 9 Pixel is working with MANUAL MOVES--- Use at your own risk...
Right now I am on a VZW device running Carbon (LOS Based) with a Modded Google Cam (GCMOD cam )Viper4Andriod working, Franco Kernel --- ((A Lot harder than I thought on LOS to get some of the normal things working))
Ask questions if you want I'll answer what I can. Or I'll ask question of someone else to try to get an answer... Happy flashing...

So if I have a VZW pixl XL on 8.0.0 that HAS been used on vzw then Im out of luck is what Im gathering?

Most likely, if you didn't unlock the bootloader with depixel8, back on 7.1
Sunshine team has no plans to work on unlocking newer versions, although, jcase said if someone could get temp root, he would provide an unlock...

So we're screwed. ?

No you can't, because you can't flash until after you are unlocked.

I returned mine to Google and sweet talked my way into the one I have now. Still Verizon, but it was rolled back to 7.1.0.... Well and blue (my original was black). I'm not sure I could've kept the phone without actually being able to flash roms/kernels/themes. No matter who you are or what you do, the developers around android building are just remarkable at finding and fixing those little stutters and issues that drive us all nuts as well as adding those little goodies that make them fun and unique.
This was actually an argument I was having with the gentleman at Best Buy telling me the phones are all the same with the Pixel 2 a month or so ago. After a bit of discussion he also said I could immediately unlock these devices even on Verizon. I called him out and he proved it, but HAD to use an AT&T sim as the start up. Once VZW is booted past the 7.1.0 version, that it is unlockable... its over... unless someone else can find another unlocking method to downgrade without OEM unlock or a bootloader unlock method I don't know what to say. Personally I would've rolled back to the 6p or gone to the 2 and had the guy at Best Buy help me out with a sim.

Come on man... Gotta help the cause... Everyone wants options and themes... Thats why we dont have IPhones.
Verizon users dont stand a chance at catching up or learning assuming they ever had a Pixel xl on NDE63P If they want to unlock, they need to start backing up to the 6P.... which is actually still a comparable device to newer phones at a couple years old.... and then they cant even go to the store to set it up... LOL. Sooooooo many posts from Verizon Users asking about whether they can update stock or via Google images and noone answers, well, mostly because their in the wrong thread.
And yes I realize I answered the last question asked, in the original post. I still have a little patience in my old age...
NO you can not flash down to 7.1.0 because you cant run the Google img through Fastboot, without being unlocked and there is NOWAY currently to unlock, past the original build version... I believe the last unlockable was NDE63X (dont quote me on that) Sorry guys. You CAN HOWEVER flashall.bat if you are ALREADY unlocked and you will stay bootloader unlocked.

Huawei P smart FIG-LX1 how to root without unlocking bootloader

Hi XDA, since huawei doesn't provide the bootloader unlock codes anymore and dc-unlocker doesn't support my FIG-LX1. I'm looking for a way to just boot into twrp and install root from there or lineage os from the project treble thread. I read somewhere that you can do that with fastboot but I'm not sure. Any concrete answers to this?

Not possible afaik

..

sun75 said:
I unlocked exactly the FIG-LX1 (L31 board) last July using DC-Unlocker Service with no problems at all. The only one problem... it's not free: you have to pay €4 (or 4 credits, it's the same for my country..., I don't know in other countries).

EDIT:
Yes, Dc-unlocker does not natively support fig-lx1 in the Huawei phone list, BUT have you connected it in fastboot mode? (see attached jpeg...).

Just to update folks who see this DC unlocker does not unlock bootloader if you are running Android 8 like me. If you have paid they will refund. As they just did for me.

sun75 said:
I was on Android 8 also, and I unlocked it with no problems at all in minutes with DC-Unlocker. You have to "read" the boot code with the client (after paying, instructions on their website) and unlock it with few adb commands! Nothing else!

So why does their app say if you on android 8 and get error 375 they will instantly refund. Was you on August security patch? Even on their live chat support they said in person right now there is nothing they can do and they will notify me when it changes.

Yes it wouldn't recognise my device once in fastboot mode, the Huawei suite works when device on and adb but not the dc unlocker. Just incase I am wrong which is highly possible: could you explain the process? Please
I connect device go to server and it said I paid
Press read device and it shows which port I'm connected to.
Then I entered device into manufacturer mode and pressed get bootloader code.
Then I got error 375

So are you enjoying benefits of root or are you using custom roms?

sun75 said:
Ok, your procedure is the same I did.
The only diff is I immediately uninstalled Huawei Suite (maintaining the drivers it installs!) because it interferes with DC-Unlocker and with adb.
I unlocked my phone on 14/8/2018, and I was on .146 C432, which, if I remember well, is the July update.
I never tried before(I regularly upgrade/downgrade via HuRu), but, can you downgrade your phone to .146 (or whatever is the July release of your "brand") via the stock ERecovery?
Maybe they fixed something between the two releases, because I got the unlock code in minutes and you get the error...
I'm very sad for you and I apologize for the posts before... if this is the case: I wish you can downgrade in some way!

Oh dude nice message! All good here mostly wanted to debloat which I have done now without root. I'm really happy with this device. The only other reason why I'd want root is to change mixer path values get louder phone and speaker. I got a refund from dc so all good for now. I take your advice and look into downgrade. Also there doesn't seem to be much development in here for this device? Are you on custom rom?
And thanks for your response

sun75 said:
Initially yes: all the OpenKirin's Roms, after most Treble Roms. But now I'm back to "Stock" + my ultradebloat script + Magisk and JamesDSP audio module. I think this is the most stable combination free of unwanted apps, at least for now!
For "development", any Treble Rom "type A" is good for our P Smart, so our development is elsewhere:

Do you have twrp or stock recovery?
I just came from moto G5 was flashing all day but once oreo got released it was bad news as moto didn't make it 64bit. Custom roms were incomplete broken camera etc serious lack of community and development, everyone was was excited to get back to stock. I'm loving this psmart!

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.

Downgrade from Android 9 to Android 8
Hello!
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.

Is it possible to downgrade from A12 to A10/11? (exynos)

Hello there!
I recently got a hand me down S10+ (exynos) from a relative and I want to flash LineageOS on it.
One small problem, its got the latest A12 version (March 1st 2022 security patch).
I have already picked out an A11 version with a matching bootloader binary (G975FXXSEFUL1) and installed Odin onto my computer (usb debugging is also enabled).
Links to guides and other forum posts are appreciated.
(I apologize if this has been asked before, I haven't found out how to search specific sup-sections of this forum (if even possible).)

If the bootloader is unlocked, it should be fairly trivial to flash an older ROM using Odin.

Use the Search function. Google is also your friend. I haven't been in the Samsung game for quite some time.
Be aware that unlocking the bootloader is often impossible on Exynos devices.

So I followed a guide and it told me to enable the OEM unlock function in the dev settings.
so is it unlocked now?
or does that just allow me to unlock it?
(apologies if I sound like a complete novice)

when flashing with odin do I need userdata?

Ive done some digging and apparently userdata is used for phone carriers to brand the phones they give out?

Ok it was pretty simple, userdata isnt needed.
