From Emui 5.0 to Lineage OS 13?

Hi guys. I've a Huawei Nova L01 with CAN-L01C02B331 and CUSTC02D002 firmware. I want to try the lineageos build published by grarak on his twitter account but some weeks ago i risked to brick the phone (i was already on nougat). Anyone know a safe and effective guide for that? Thanks to those who will help me

You can talk with Grarak on Twitter and ask him how to solve this issue and if it's possible to go back on marshmallow from emui5

already done so, zero response

Asked huawei for rollback link
Same problem here, so I emailed huawei for a rollback link. I'm on NRD90M so normally should be able to revert to original MM... No response so far...

And how can we go back to mm, is there a tool to do it? I have tried to flash mm but I'm not able because system and cust partition are bigger on stock mm firmwares, so once installed nougat we are not able to go back on mm. Basically they have to release a tool witch will automatically repartition system and cut partitions or release a mm firmware with smaller partitions....Oh sorry they didn't respond, I'm curious about they're response, if they will ever replay to you e-mail.

Well, thats whats the NRD90M build is made for, so you would be able to return to MM Its a build that should give the opportunity to have a rollback... However, what I have learned is that you need a specific updatefile to do this... This updatefile, does not exist (?)

Lenovo India has stopped all updates for Indian Z2 Plus.
So, Its only ZUK updating ZUI for Chinese models..
Indian ZUI was only Chinese ZUI with GApps and Theme Engine removed.
ZUI 3.1 is released. There are Stock Recovery flashable as well as, TWRP Flashable builds!

Thanks a lot. Is this an official, confirmed info or a rumor? I'd really like to see global/Indian ZUI 3.1. I'm on CN ZUI 3.1 at the moment. Uninstalled all bloat but still getting notifications on Chinese sometimes. English only would be a blast!

After so many customs ROMs, now I'm on ZUI 2.5.104 ST (INDIAN VERSION). How should I install latest Chinese ZUI.

Ok, learnt from other threads that for India ZUI baseband is M8996FAAAANAZM-1.76387.1.92759.1
This is the one which is to be used in case one has issues of Jio to Jio calls ending abruptly.

I think this will help I haven't flashed it in 2 years so I'm not 100% sure. Keep everything backed up & handy just in case. All The Best !

Baseband / RadioModem for Z2 (plus) for twrp

Hi mates,
as I got a lot of requests for providing basebands for Z2 (plus) as well I will try adding them here.
-------------------------------
ATTENTION!
If you use encryption then dont flash any baseband as if may corrupt your encryption.
Check your current baseband version first!
Your baseband is 1.70? Great! You are on ZUI China? Happy flashing!
Your baseband is 1.76? Dont flash, you will softbrick your phone. Flash ZUI China version first.
Reason: There is a China version (baseband 1.70) and an Indian version (baseband 1.76). The provided basebands here are China versions only. Cannot be flashed on top of Indian version.
If you have ZUI Indian version installed install ZUI China first.
All flashings are on your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damage.
I don't have a Z2 (plus) so take care.
So to make it clear once and forever:
1.70 is China baseband
1.76 is India baseband
The higher version number does not say anything about it is actual newer.
ZUK decided not to change the baseband version anymore from 1.70 on. So if you want the latest baseband you have to take it out of last released ZUI.
It cannot be seen under phone info. You will always see the same number there no matter which version is installed.
Read the things above. Understand it. Don't ask me anymore to that, I'm tired of explaining always the same.
Use latest twrp official version to flash. Download it at www.twrp.me.
No wipes needed after flashing.
ZUK never changed baseband numbers but changed content anyway. Dont ask for changelog, there is none released by ZUK.

---------------------------
Notes
Offline Charging: If you run a CustomRom based on Android 8.1 that pretends to have offline charging you NEED a baseband of Oreo (ZUI 3.5.xxx) to make it work.
-------------------------------
TroubleShooting:
Problem: After reboot your phone requires your usual pin on lock screen. But even when typing correct pin it will switch back to lock screen.
Solution: Reboot to twrp.
In twrp start file explorer (find it under advanced)
In folder data/system delete all files beginning with "locksetting". Usually one to three files.
Reboot. After reboot no pin is necessary, you need to re-setup again.
Problem: I get no LTE / 4G signal anymore. HELP!
Solution: Thanks to @vickdu31 and @juyer there is the following mini guide:
- VoLTE users: Backup EFS partition with twrp.
- Download 3.5 latest baseband from this post
- flash it with twrp.
- Extract .zip of baseband
- Reboot to fastboot
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash modem NON-HLOS.bin (this file is from .zip baseband)
fastboot -i 0x2b4c erase modemst1
fastboot -i 0x2b4c erase modemst2
fastboot -i 0x2b4c reboot
LTE working instantly.

Again: 1.70 or even the whole baseband number is not relevant. ZUK changed a lot without changing the baseband version number sadly.
If you dont habe problems you dont need to flash. If you experience radiomodem related problems flashing this may help you
By the way: if you run a custom rom based on 8.1 you need a ZUI 3.5 baseband to activate offline charging

I know there are different other sources. But they are quite fragmented. This thread here shall be an easy source to just download and flash a new radio modem / baseband version.
It would be good to get a flashable 3.5.261 version as well. I needed to start somewhere
For Z2 Pro I released all RadioModems already since long and maintaining the thread always to add newest version.
for Z2 (Plus) I need help to get all versions
to screenshot: He may have installed the 1.76 version before already and then flashed ZUI by twrp. Flashing ZUI with twrp will not change the baseband. Only flashing ZUI with Qfil will overwrite baseband.

Sorry for asking this stupid question but... What is offline charging?

Back to stock ROM. How?

Hello guys,
Im using an ZTE Axon 7 with unkocked bootloader, rooted, and using a custom ROM and twrp. I **** to try the original and latest version of the official ROM to see how well the performance are. Is there a package for this that can be installed using TWRP and after it has been installed, my phone is in the original state again?
I saw an update on the ZTE website from 25/07/2018. (Version B35) Is this Android 8?
https://www.zteusa.com/axon-7
Can I install this package by using TWRP aswell?

Flash a zip package in twrp. But flash an twrp image after the rom. The stock rom overwrites the twrp with stock recovery.

Thanks! So, no matter wich bootstock Im using, I can just install the zip from te ZTE website using TWRP and that's it?
EDIT: on the website, there is only A2017U model. No G or A. Does this matter?

The B35 (U-version) is 7.1.1
Try this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-slm-dfnr-t3744388
It's totaly stock or at least derived from the B35 that you want.
Or make your day and try this 8.0.0 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/official-beta-android-8-0-0-v2-10b12-t3797085
Beta, U version based but definitely worth a try
Or go back to factory with the @djkuz EDL Tool. The B35 is in the OP. https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/axon-7-edl-tool-flash-backup-restore-t3750759

B35 (from that site) is Nougat, not Oreo.
Oreo was not released officially so you won't find it in the ZTE website.
The current release (B12) is a -buggy- beta and missing some features. It's really not worth it. Battery life is atrocious (probably less than 2hs SoT).
You're better off with B10 (latest for A2017G) or B35 (latest for A2017U).
Those are the latest official firmwares for the phone and both are Nougat 7.1.1. Pay no attention to the numbers, as B10 is identical (update wise) to B35. Flash whatever you like. There's really no other option.
If you prefer the original stock experience with nothing touched or removed/added, you will have to flash a firmware via EDL mode. But that way you lose TWRP unless you replace recovery.img with a compatible TWRP version before flashing with Xiaomi Flash and your device is completely erased.
Forget about Oreo for the moment.

Need help to go back stock

Hi,
i have unlocked my bootloader while i was on POTTER_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.85-17-6 . I installed twrp and a custom rom and that's fine. Now i want to go back to stock but i apparently can't because the latest firmware i can find on the internet is the OPSS28.85-17-4 and when i try to follow the guides it says i am downgrading the security patches. How can i solve this problem? Do i have to simply wait for the 17-6 firmware to be leaked? :crying:
Edit: I have a xt1687

You can just flash a twrp zip till the firmware is available

You can try Lenovo Motorola Smart Assistant:
https://support.lenovo.com/de/de/downloads/ds101291
It should find the latest security patch for your device and save in on your PC.
You can fastboot flash it than.
Btw, it's not that bad to be on 17.4 because 17.6 is the last official security patch/update that Lenovo will release at all.

I don't know if i can post the image here but you can do it the same way i did. Plug the phone to your pc with the lenovo desktop app installed, enable usb debugging and go to flash. From there select manually from rescue the device and then go to fastboot. It will show the latest official image present in the phone ( even if you have a custom rom) and simply download it. When it finished don't press rescue and the image will be in
C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles . If this is a repost of any kind i apologize.

You're welcome and thank you for sharing your experience. You are allowed to share that firmware, just zip it and load it up to one of the known hosters like Dropbox or similar. But you're also right, should be possible for everyone else to do the same that you did.

If anyone wants the stock firmware for xt1687 US version (4/64) OPSS28.85_17_6 this is it. I take no responsibility if this causes you any damage , hope it helps anyone. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pah5x5g1h...y_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip?dl=0
EDIT ( Just to let you know, i was on PixelExperience with android 9 before doing the procedure).

You can try Lenovo Motorola Smart Assistant:
https://support.lenovo.com/de/de/downloads/ds101291
It should find the latest security patch for your device and save in on your PC.
You can fastboot flash it than.
Btw, it's not that bad to be on 17.4 because 17.6 is the last official security patch/update that Lenovo will release at all.

IMO it's a shame that Lenovo has stopped supporting this phone only after two years! IMO the phone is great for it's price/performance. These short planned obsolescence is ecologically harmful. I am certainly not planning on replacing this phone unless there is another in the price range that is quantum leap better, or until 5G is ubiquitous.
