Due to bootloader version numbers in regards to firmware you cannot down grade to previous version. IE: pie to nougat or even some version of oreo.

Recommend which Nougat ROM to flash please. (G930A vs G930U)

Hello guys.
I have waited for an official OTA nougat update for too long and now want to flash Nougat myself. I searched online and found multiple options. Could you recommend which Nougat to flash? I'm split between AT&T official and Unlocked (U) versions.
Currently I'm on MM G930AUCU4APJ4.
Thanks.
There is no Nougat yet for the G930U or G935U.

ZTE axon 7 A2017 PROBLEMS

Hello,
I need help !!!
I just bought ZTE axon 7 and I didn't know it was the chinese version. Did someone has the Chinese version too ? If yes, can you tell me if you have problem with this version ?
Have you upgrade to Android 7.1 Nougat ?
Also I don't have "updates" on the phone's Settings menu, is it the same for you ? And do you have a solution?
Thank you in advance.

You know, you can use Google...
A bunch of people have the chinese version... why would they have problems? It obviously has less bands than the US version but you should tale that for granted
You can upgrade to Nougat, just be sure that the OS version is A2017v1.x.xBXX (Not A2017G or A2017U). If it says one of the two other models then you have to follow the instructions given on one of the thousand other posts of guys like you that don't even care to read.

I am having A2017 and I intentionally bought that because of the LTE bands for India. I am using A2017 with A2017U (US Model) firmware without any issues. I am satisfied with phone.
I have also used LOS , RR but I always vote to stock firmware for its fluidity n camera n music quality.
Let me know if any help needed.

Is the rooting process the same for italian p9 lite (L31 ITAC555 B361)

Hey guys,
I'm a noob when it comes to firmware stuff, only had some experience with rooting/flashing lg g2, which was pretty much straight forward. As of now, I have owned p9 lite for around half a year and I've grown tired of EMUI so I've decided to root my phone, install TWRP and flash something else. The only problem is that I'm not really sure if the processes of rooting/flashing presented in most tutorials are applicable to my phone, because the build number contains "ITA" and I haven't seen anything like that before. Does that change anything or can I just not bother and follow the standard procedures?
Regards,
Paul

I think you should not encounter any difficulty rooting your phone indifferently from the firmware you come from (however it matters if it's emui 4 or emui 5) it matters if you want to install roms, in this case it's recommended rebranding the phone in a popular and supported region (like C432).

Thanks for the answer. Now I'm running emui 5. So, if I want to install LOS 14.1, I just need to root, rebrand and then I can flash the rom?

Sorry for late answer, I don't know if you already fixed your problem but yeah you need to rebrand, flash C432B370 (dual SIM) or B371 (single SIM) and then follow the procedure to flash Los 14.1
Rooting isn't necessary because all of those things don't require user root.

How to root Oreo?

Hi everyone!
I've bought online a new P10 lite that I'm going to get in a few days.
As it will probably come with the old 7.1.2, I will flash the firmware with the lastest Official Android 8.0 Oreo Update (unfortunately, I'm a new user on this forum and I currently cannot post outside links, but you can find it if you ask Google for "Huawei P10 Lite Official Android 8.0 Oreo Update").
I want to root this stock firmware. On this forum, the following webpage shows how to do it (I guess it is for 7.1.2) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/twrp-how-to-root-p10-lite-t3617418
... but I'm wondering, does this procedure work with the above mentioned Oreo stock firmware?
Thanks!

You are correct, I didn't read carefully the link I referred to, I thought the downloads were Oreo firmwares.
However, Oreo for P10 Lite is about to be released (see twitter com/HuaweiPhones/status/957808377484148743)
Do you believe that this procedure to root the P10 Lite will work on Oreo? : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/twrp-how-to-root-p10-lite-t3617418
I know that Oreo will soon be released Oreo for P10 Lite.
Your link on root for Nougat. On Oreo not work.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You are very funny, you wan t to a phone you don t have yet with a ROM that is not released yet your post is so useful.
Why do you think anyone can tell if root will be or not possible?
Many devices is posible to easy root in one version of Android and after upgrade is not easy any more.
U need wait first for we have an official Oreo.

P9 lite - VNS-L21C432B160

Hello there,
I have just received an old P9 lite - VNS-L21C432B160. I has Android 6.0 an EMUI 4. I wanted to flash a custom ROM but I am not able to. I have bootloader unlocked. I am able to instal TWRP 3.0.2-0. But all custom ROMs I tried, gave me ERROR7 or Signal 11. (It is not possible to correct Error7 according to manuals here...)
There is TWRP 3.2.1 for this phone but it doesn't work at all. I found out, it wants EMUI5.x which I do not have. Is it correct that I need to update to Nougat7 and EMUI5 first? I am trying to do it maybe 4 days already. I have tried everything which is available on the internet but I failed. I have original Stock ROM file with Android 6 - it works.. I also have update file for Android 7 (B336), but the phone doesn't want it. According to official manual, I need some kind of transfer package, which is not available.
Can anybody help me with flashing a custom ROM to this phone? I would love to have LineageOS 14.1
Thank you very much
Karel

Hi Karel,
use Firmware Finder app to update to android 7.
I recommend vpn/dns method.
You should point to B370 FULLOTA-MF-PV one...
All info are inside the app and some videos are on You_tu_be...
You can update the same way to latest firmware.
Good luck... :fingers-crossed:
Dude if you will succeed do not use 3.2.1 twrp, use instead 3.1.1-1 one..
Cheers
Hello Hello, thank you very much !! I was successful. The phone runs with the latest firmware now. I tried to install lineageOS 14 but I am not able to do that. I am stucked at the boot logo .. I found info: "If you stuck on boot screen, change your file system"... filesystem of what? SD card? Phone?
Thanks in advance!

Dude, the instructions are so old,
also i never installed LineageOS 14 on my p9 lite. (I do not have it anymore)
I can tell you to use twrp version 3.1.1-1 and I recommend posting it
in the appropriate thread, maybe other users can answer in more detail ..

Hello dude,
i wish to help but i think it's not possible....
anyway the best you can wish for is having android 7 stock
or some custom version of android 8.
As you wrote you have the cinese variant (G9 Youth). It should have
a different processor and need a personalized rom, can you check it ?
Go in settings, phone info...
Please report your complete firmware version
(example: VNS-L21C432B160/VNS-AL00C00B230)
and chipset version (example: Kirin 650/Snapdragon SD 617)
P.S.: You don't need to post in multiple sections.
It is also considered to be a duplicate and it is
against the rules ...
