THL T200C looking for flash rom update - General Questions and Answers

Phone is a THL T200C, currently running Android 4.2.2
I've had some issues lately, that a factory reset didn't solve. Trying to update the android software now.
But as it's a chinese phone, google doesn't find much. Maybe there is nothing available for this phone? Browsed also through this forum, didn't find anything.
Could someone point me out where I could search for an update, or tell me what my other options are?
Many thanks in advance

Hey man.
The original ROM for this phone was JB 4.2.2 with v 1.0.3.
Since then, a minor update was released. Still JB 4.2.2, but with v 1.0.6.
If you aren't rooted, there's a chance you might be able to download the update OTA. Otherwise, you'll have to go snag it off of NeedROM. I haven't seen any update beyond that. Good luck.

Request for 6210XXLB2 ROOTED ROM

Hello dev,
For those with Canadian version of 6210, can someone upload a rooted 6201XXLB2 rom? I I notice the 6210 version in the dev does not contain the XXLB2 rom.
Thanks.
Cheers everyone especially to the amazing dev
If anyone can help with this it would be really appreciated. Guess who upgraded to the ICS Rom, found out that my wifi was unworkable, and now had to load the "regular North American Retail Rom with the Peel app etc that I cant use

I don't think the XXLB2 is anywhere to be found around here. You might just have to stick with the XXLPL release until the XXLB2 is uploaded by someone or is released. I honestly don't know if its even released. I just looked for it and couldn't find it anywhere.
I'm in the same situation I search for the LB rom for P6210 but for LA3 just uninstall PEEL soft with titanium backup

Thank you very much anyway, The Canadian version P6210 has the XXLB2. which means it has been released. Will I have no problem with the XXLPL? I am satisfied with this rom but needs to change some few things. I am just being cautious if something happens.
I did a nandroid backup of the original unmodified LB2 in clockworkmod, before I started changing settings and installing apps.
You need to have garyd9's "CWM-based Recovery v5.x.x.x" installed in order to restore this nandroid backup:
garyd9's "CWM-based Recovery v5.x.x.x" post
I notice someone posted a newer version of CWM v6 - from what I understand, the newer CWM version is not compatible with the v5 backups.
If anyone finds this useful please reply and let me know. I also need recommendation on upload sites which are easy to use (ie. no registration etc.) and won't kill the upload quickly.
Slim_thumb,
Sorry, I was out for quite some time. Thank you for posting the link. It helped me a lot. I presummed that you have tried some ICS, what could be the best ICS replacement to our XXLB2 for the moment while waiting for our upgrade turn?

Could you post you're backup for LB2 version!?

What is the big difference between XXLPL and XXLB2? I have XXLPN is it better to flash to XXLB2?

@ben_2g0
No I have not tried ICS (official or custom).
@scagnetwork
Check your PM (I don't want the upload link to be killed too soon by posting it open)
@terrandroid
LB2 is the HC firmware specific to the GT7+ sold in Canada. It is not ICS. We have not received the OTA ICS update yet.
XXXLB2 firmware
If anyone has the XXLB2 firmware, could you please post it up. I would like to go back to stock for when ICS is released. Thank you in advance.

Does anyone else with the Canadian LB2 P6210 get the message in KIES that this model's firmware cannot be updated through KIES?

Yep
But a quick flash of the latest ICS from SamFirmware.com via Odin soon fixed that problem.

Oh wait, but I thought the current ICS firmwares don't work for the LB2 Canadian version because of the wifi?
Did you backup your current HC firmware before flashing or did you just risk it?

The previous firmwares were problematic for me, but the US version that was released yesterday works perfectly....24hrs and counting >

and yep, I have a nandroid backup.....just in case... fingers crossed I don't need it....
CromDubh,
I followed the other thread of SrumerJohn in Adnroid Development and installed that ICS firmware. I am not happy about the performance of that firmware.
I am glad you find the latest US firmware satisfactory. Did you use the temporary CWM method to root this US firmware, followed by installing permanent CWM?
I did try the original UK ICS firmware but unfortunately not very extensively..(no wifi being a bit of a deal breaker for me)....but I'm pretty happy with North American version.
As for rooting, I used the same rooting method as was used for the older ICS without a problem. I didnt install permanent CWM, just the the temp, but I'm sure I'll end up with the permanent one when its time to start playing with JB

The ICS version is slightly faster and more fluid than HC in terms of screen transition and opening apps, but my biggest problem is the Flash video performance. Interestingly, I had no wifi problem with the UK ICS version (this problem must be router-related).
I have problem with Flash video playing in the browser in both firmware versions. Not all video sites are affected equally - eg. Youtube 1080p does not play smoothly (used to play smoothly in original HC); Vimeo HD completely stutters (used to play smoothly in original HC).
Adobe apparently stopped supporting Flash and it disappears from Google Play store. I tried several older versions of Flash 11 (and even 10) posted as .apk (eg. at apktop), but none of them work smoothly (some of them even force close the browser) - and yes I did get the correct ICS version of Flash player.
I use Dolphin browser, and I tried the Flash video with the stock browser but the result is the same. Therefore it has nothing to do with the browser.
I have since gone back to my original HC through nandroid backup.
P.S. I followed StrumerJohn's guide to flash permanent CWM onto the US ICS version, and it works. However, at your own risk always.

[Q] How to get Lollipop on Honor 6 (L04)?

There are now tons of threads detailing a myriad of methods of getting L on Honor 6. As far as I can tell
You cannot get CM12
You can somehow get 5.1 + EMUI3.1
So can anyone post the correct links to where I can get L? I am currently running CM11, and I have a custom recovery, so flashing is ok for me.
I already replied to you in another thread. Check it.

Download B309 package.
Flash over B374.
Go further down to B109SP01 from B309.
Update to B115.
Update to B500 with this update. zip.
You'll get B500 version if you are in India and not B507. I don't know the reason but that's what happened to me and few other people. I'm back to B374 as this ROM is buggy for daily usage. India will also be releasing lollipop update soon so I suggest it's better to stay away from this. While on the other hand Malaysia has also started updating to Lollipop, that update is over B380, update file is not uploaded by anyone yet.

Hi, thanks for replying.
If huawei is indeed releasing updates, I can wait. But can you tell me if the update will rewrite my recovery? I will certainly give this a shot if I can do a restore of my current ROM from recovery.
Sent from my Honor 6 using XDA Free mobile app
It's difficult to come back to EMUI 3.0 I have tried that so I'm telling you. You should wait for 2-3 days as Lollipop is coming soon. And yes there is a different recovery in Lollipop.
There is no cwm available for it. So coming back is not as easy as jumping from 3.0 to 2.3

Update to Lollipop/MM

Hi,
I have a mate7 gold (32gb 2 sim) and I want to update to lollipop or marshmallow but I am not sure how to start. I have read several threads and seen how this is done but I have a version that isnt common or something, so I wanted to know if I have to go to another version of KK before going up? I have MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B124. I havent been able to find much useful on that version and so am not sure if I should go to another prior to the update. In the about section -> Certification it says Serbia, I dont know if that helps or affects anything
Cheers!

Hi, thanks a lot that sounds good, I've waited a while so a little longer won't harm me.
By the way I wasn't able to open the link you sent, I think it didn't paste properly.

Samsung Firmware: I9505XXUHPK2 (BTU) now available for download

Hi,
Today my i9505 (stock) notified of an update available for download (392.94 mb OTA)
Would updating make my S4 difficult to flash? currently on I9505XXUHOJ2 could not find any information on what's new/changed in the update.
Also is the OTA update ok or do I need to update using the Odin method as the below linked site suggests & so do most of the past firmware update posts on xda?
Smart Switch says the file size is 1458 mb
I dont mind following either way to update my S4.
Ref: samsung-firmware.org
Thanks!
oh boy, it is still 5.0.1
not shure if I go to try this, the last one has a bug on my phone, donĀ“t know, it was maybe the settings and back button bug.
but also 5.0.1 is maybe to outdated?

Anyway, I have downgraded my stock rom to Jelly Beam (via sammobile.com). After this, I can easily handled the root and the custom rom install processes (resurrection remix).
