Do you have a system backup of the stock rom?

Update stock before updating custom?
Do I need to first update to EMUI oreo rom with project treble to flash aosp oreo rom? I am still on normal recovery but I did unlock bootloader. With Honor 5X we had to always update official or beta rom to next Version before attempting to go to next version aosp/ custom rom version.

Anybody finding problem in opening page to get unlock code from Huawai unlock page https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/index
I have already registered, but unlock option is not shown or from other links page shows opening error. Pl help

Hello Guys!
I figured out how to unlock my Mate SE or any other Huaei device without the need of contacting support or their Unlock page that no longer exists!
See my guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903

The unlock option is no longer available. What can I do? Thanks in advance!

Thanks ? pls

Any chance to flash a custom rom to my newly purchased Le Pro3 X720 with EUI 5.9026s?

Hi all,
Recently, I go through this forum and found there are many custom roms ready for this Le Pro3 phone. After consider the hardware specification and cost, finally I procured Le Pro3 (x720) phone.
However, when I received this phone, I found the latest EUI already installed (EUI 5.9.026s). When I go through the instructions provided by XDA forum, I found there almost no way to unlock the bootloader of this phone if this came with EUI 5.9.026s.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to unlock this bootloader if this phone is came with EUI 5.9.026s? If not, can I still can refresh my phone with some custom roms (like Omni rom on lineage OS?)
Thanks
I have no trouble with my x720, first time flashed customs on 20s, but few days ago returned from stock 26s to custom. Can't you unlock your phone?
No luck on unlock.
I believe you already installed TWRP before upgrade to 26s, so you can falsh back to previous version.
Have you official ROM and followed the unlock guide?
I follow the unlock Guide but no luck. I go through few discussion in XDA forum, seems some major changes in OS permission settings on 26s rom
Maybe flash 23s, wipe then try?
I cannot try it, but maybe it's possible to fool the update system. By modifying the update script of a 23s OTA file you can bypass the check for rom and modem version, then the system will execute a "downgrade" from 26s to 23s. This theorically, I can't try if it really works but the right path can be this! Cheers!
Sent from my LEX720 using XDA Labs
I did downgrades from 20s to 18s and from 23s to 20s... Seems buggy, but after wipes worked perfectly.
@marik1
How did you do the downgrade? Is the way you downgraded possible with a locked bootloader? Thank you.
(I am considering buying a Le Pro 3, but I will probably wait until I know that unlocking the bootloader is possible with the new EUI installed.)
For me it's simply flashing file with ROM called "update.zip" and placed into main folder trough LeEco's recovery. Like making update, but with different file.
I tested qfil by following the thread here to flash the previous rom but no luck, when I use qfil, I am quite sure the phone is connected ( I can see the com port), the process started(rom are unzipping), but when the system try to write on the disk, the process failed. I wonder if there are any permission/encryption settings applied on the partition of 26s rom, and not sure if I can downgrade due to partition permission.
BTW, where can I download 23s rom? and how to modify the script to prevent version check? thanks

Where to download this file? and the file should place on main folder but not root folder, right?
Just flash it, without changing version checking. You can take it from LeEco website;
https://bbs.le.com/zt/eui/le_pro3.html
You can also have trouble with connect, so you have to remove :110 from link and you gain;

Actually, I follow the unlock guide here, the problems was on this bootloader unlock guide but not on the phone itself.

Could you please explain what you did differently from the guide?

HUAWEI Enjoy 7S (FIG-AL10) rebranding to HUAWEI P Smart (FIG-LX1): feasible? how?

I bought a Huawei Enjoy 7s (FIG-AL10) in China, but now I would like to rebrand it to a European version (FIG-LX1).
I read tons of posts suggesting to use TWRP, but there is no TWRP available for this phone.
I found a firmware for FIG-LX1 version on Firmware Finder, but now I do not know how to load it into the phone and rebrand it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I bought the huawei P smart which is the European version of Huawei Enjoy 7s. i think we should wait for a forum to be opened here for this device before we can do anything like unlocking bootloader or Rebranding and rooting.
just be patient bro.
I've just found a procedure to root Huawei P Smart, but XDA does not allow me to post the link.
Try to look in google: "Huawei P smart - Root - Anleitung".
It works perfectly. I tried it out on my Huawei Enjoy 7S.
Next thing would be to flash another firmware to change from Chinese to European version, but I'm still not sure how to do it.

I just tried, but system.img writing failed.
In the rescue.exe compressed folder it seems that there are two files: system.img and vendor.img.
Is vendor.img to be renamed to cust.img?
Sorry. I uploaded vendor instead of cust. Will replace the download by tomorrow.
Just translated the tuto:

I tried to flash from fastboot cust.img and system.img of P Smart on Enjoy 7S but writing failed.
Probably rebrand on this phone involves other partitions or files (oeminfo?) that I'm still not aware of.
I hope a procedure for rebrand will be released soon.

Looking over your post i would like to do the same thing.
Have you had any luck? I see there is a TWRP out and an update at the above link to android-hilfe forum. I did post a reply there but seem to have had my account locked for now :crying:, so though i might see how you did while i wait for help.

Thanks so much, really appreciate the help. I will do so in the future.
Just to confirm what would be the reason to flash and install a TWRP? For dev reasons only?
Or just to remove all the preset Chinese settings?
@ChinHon
Interesting i can install all the services from Google-Installer-v3 onto a Enjoy 7S, but can not open the Play Store or Drive as it just hangs on the loading screen. And never actually goes in.
Haha, im stumped .
Find the current Playstore Apk from the net and install it.
TWRP is necessary for Magisk rooting or to create backups or flash zip`s.
I can't help much with dabranding. I don't know very much about that.

I tried in several ways to install C432 firmware on my Enjoy 7S, but no way to flash System.img.
As soon as I flash C432 oeminfo file FRP gets locked and I cannot flash anything anymore.
I tried also Dc Unlocker tools, but System.img flashing stops with the message "Sparse flash write failure".
I'm still looking for somebody who managed to rebrand the Enjoy 7S to P Smart.

I wish i could help,I cant currently even get any Google option on the Enjoy 7S to run. Even trying to add a google account to cloud just freezes. Seems as soon as any Google option is chosen, the Google Services just states "Restarting".
Out of options.
Google services installation was an easy task compared to rebrand.
Download GMS from the link below:
https://mega.nz/#!WqYwyLyD!l7H8WRHBHs0ZwpyE0w2c7n6AvTSpTF29KjjX7_MM2u8
Procedure:
1. Install GMS (it is going to clear all previous google apps and restart the phone)
2. Install google play that I included in the zip file.
Let me know. For me it worked like a charm.

Huawei Nova 2i - Cannot locate firmware for this specific rendition - RNE-L02C759

Hi,
Admin, please move is this is not the correct place for this question.
I recently got this phone, I managed to unlock the Bootloader and flash TWRP, but that is about as far as I got in my dreams to update this phone to Oreo.
I just cannot find the firmware for this phone, not even just to flash the OEM recovery.img back onto the phone.
The build nr is RNE-L02C759B141. Huawei Nova 2i
I'm in New Zealand
I can get tons of RNE-L02 firmwares but nothing with the C759 variant?
Can anyone help explain to me how this works, is it posible to flash one of the other RNE-L02xxx variants and how do you do this. I've tried the dload sdcard upgrade, but it keeps failing.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried the Firmware Finder utility?
Btw, you need a bootloader unlocking code at first. But it seems that Huawei has closed its official web page for these unlocking codes.

Global Rom Is Now Available!

Global Rom is officialy out!
it turns out 9.6.4.0.OEDMIFD is a real global rom with a broken modem.
just update to newer releases that might fix the issue.
You cant just flash the global rom over an Antirollback rom as the global rom doesnt have Antirollback. (it will brick your device)
Guide to installing global rom on antirollback devices & installing global rom with fixed modem (for calls and internet) over china rom (no ARB): here
Download Links for Official Global Rom: here
Antirollback information: here
Thanks and have a great day!

Hello there people!
our lovely new Mi Max 3 is now available for purchase on many websites.
These websites sell you a "MULTILANGUAGE rom" or "Global Rom".
The version that they sell is 9.6.4.0.OEDMIFD
Unfortunately this rom is FAKE / Un-Official and is dangerous for your device!
Why? because to install this shady rom they need to unlock your bootloader unofficialy and install a rom which was not originaly designed for Mi Max 3! this rom bricks some partitions of your device and may cause a lot of issues later! Some say that this rom may cause damage to the ability to flash roms and more onto your device or to move to official rom / xiaomi.eu rom
THERE ISNT ANY OFFICIAL GLOBAL ROM AVAILABLE FOR MI MAX 3 YET!
I suggest not to buy the Mi Max 3 with a "MULTILANGUAGE rom" or "Global Rom". (Please notice that some people that have asked not to install the fake rom got their devices with the fake rom even though they asked!)
Be patient and wait for official global rom from en.miui.com
Have a great day!

I suggest flashing the latest china beta rom using fastboot mode
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED
download: here
after that flash xiaomi.eu rom
tutorial: here
Why do you need to flash both the china beta rom and the xiaomi.eu rom?
The flashing of xiaomi.eu does not delete everything previously installed anyway?

Fastboot china rom will wipe all partitions and reinstall them.
Xiaomi.eu recovery rom only changes the SYSTEM partition, remember you are coming from a fake rom so you might not want to have broken partitions from the flashing of the fake rom.
My Max 3 comes with this so-called "Global" ROM.
I checked my bootloader and it says Unlocked. So yesterday I downloaded CN ROM and flashed it via fastboot.
Ok, I understand. "fastboot china rom" means it should only be installed through fastboot? or its also possible through custom recovery?

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED BEFORE DOING THIS OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
Fastboot roms are flashed through a special tool by xiaomi which can be found: here
You also might need adb drivers which are found: here
1. Open the drivers file and click "y" for every option that it asks for.
1. Install the fastboot tool tool
2. Download the fastboot rom that you wanna flash
3. Unzip the rom to a folder on your pc
4. Open the tool and in bottom right corner there will be 3 options, select "clean all"
5. Click on the "select" button on top left corner and head to the folder that you unziped, select it.
6. On your device enable "USB debugging", "install via USB", "USB Debugging (security settings)", and disable "verify apps over USB" (Developers options are enabled by going to "about phone" then spam clicking the "MIUI version" until it says that your are a developer. then go to "additional setting" and you will find "developer options")
7. Boot your device to fastboot mode by holding down the vol- + power key together until you see a bunny with fastboot sign.
8. Connect your device to your PC and click the "refresh" button on top right corner. (your phone should now appear in the list)
9. Click "flash" and wait until your device boots to the MI logo and 3 dots. (DONT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE BEFORE THAT!!!)
10. Wait for your device to boot up
11. Enjoy!
Hi, So if I buy with China ROM (Outside China - I live in Thailand) I can download and change to Global ROM once it's released?
China ROM will still get updates, though right?
Sorry for numpty question!
This is the ROM on my girlfriends Mi Max 3.
Thanks for the info but it would also be good if you posted up how to check if the bootloader is unlocked seeing how important it is before doing any steps.
Also you state that for the people to put on the fake ROM they had to unlock the bootloader in the first place so would they then relock the bootloader? Won't all phones with fake ROMs have unlocked bootloaders?

You may never know...
This procedure work on 128 Gb mi max 3 ?
Thank you
I ordered a one from Eternal Team on Ali before I seen this and asked them about the fake rom and the bootloader after it was sent this is the reply .....
Dear friend:
Welcome to our store . /:000
Sorry for the late reply .
It's locked . But you could use the Google play and use all the function normally . If you need use the Mi service . You need unlock it by yourself .
Please check this link:http://en.miui.com/unlock/

Thanks for the advice and I really appreciate your help but could you give some clearer step by step instructions as many people are not coming from a Xiaomi world. I come from Note4 and for me to install TWRP I do this using Odin but;
1) In simple step by step guide, how do you install TWRP on the Mi Max 3?
2). How do you unlock the bootloader - I go to https://en.miui.com/unlock/ and it starts in English then the next page is in Mandarin so not good to me.
These and other basics instructions are needed to be clearly detailed in a thread as there will be many people following me with the same questions/issues.

2. You need to create a mi account on global forums and then use them to apply, assign the account to your phone in developer settings and unlock your phone after you got perms. search for a vid on how to unlock the bootloader on xiaomi devices on YT for a better guide.

Excellent, thanks that is much clearer.
I checked this video on youtube for checking 'locked bootloader' and also how to unlock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL2omn9PGc4
I did not need to unlock becasue as I rightly guessed the bootloader is still unlocked. (pic attached). This is on both the Mi Max 3's that I have.
So I'll just start the process of flashing the Chinese ROM (to make sure of partition integrity) via Fastboot and then installing TWRP, and then flash the Xiaomi.eu ROM.
OK omer919, thanks to you I have flashed the Chinese MUI10 Fastboot ROM.
Unfortunately the link to the TWRP instructions is not good at the moment as the TWRP link in that thread is not working and the thread is now closed.
Do you (or anyone else) have a working link to TWRP for Mi Max 3 so I can install the Xiaomi.eu ROM?
