!!!WARNING!!!
IN THE HUAWEI ANDROID N BETA FIRMWARE, DOWNGRADE IS UNAVAILABLE.
I HAVE TESTED IT ON MY PHONE, IF YOU TRYING TO DOWNGRADE, IT WILL TOLD YOU FIRMWARE VERIFICATION ERROR.
This thread will change to a small guide of my tool.
[FOR REFURBISH PURPOSE / WITH Official Recovery]
Requirement:
Computer and P9 connected to the same WiFi network (locally accessable).
Step:
1. Run the tool, select firmware version and press [Start]
2. On your phone, set proxy IP to your computer's IP, and the proxy port to 41279

}
3. Enter Settings -> Update -> Menu -> Download latest full package
(This tool cannot get incremental update package, so it would not give you any update info before click 'Download latest full package')
4. Then, you will get a update around 1.70 GB - 1.80GB, that is the regular size for full rom with pre-installed data.
(If the update package is aroung 1.50GB that means the customize version is incorrect for your device)
5. After fully flash in recovery, you can press Volume Up + Power enter official recovery and do a Factory Reset.
[FOR UNBRICK PURPOSE / WITHOUT Official Recovery]
Due to the limitation of Huawei HiSuite, It would NOT flash the pre-installed data, like themes or icons.
So, following procedure is for unbrick ONLY. If you want fully flash the firmware, you need to follow next reply.
Requirement:
1. Your device can enter FASTBOOT.
(If that partition was broken, this tools cannot help you anymore.)
2. Huawei HiSuite (Click Here to Download)
3. A computer that have a stable internet connection.
Step:
1. Start the tool, select correct firmware version, and click [Start]
2. Start HiSuite, Set proxy IP to 127.0.0.1, proxy port to 41279
3. Click [System Recovery] in the right bottom corner of HiSuite
4. Follow the procedure provided by Huawei to make your devices into FASTBOOT Mode.
(Power off -> Connect your device to the computer running HiSuite -> Hold Volume Down + Power button till it enter FASTBOOT)
5. Waiting for HiSuite to recover your Huawei P9.

As I tested before, that version may during internal testing for release and that build, SafetyNet related function (like Android Pay) may not working properly.
Can I with "How to fully reflash" method change the brand of the phone ? Actually I'm running EVA-L09C55B141 and I've no update to do

Actually, you need change oeminfo partition first, to make the Updater can fetch the oem data files correctly.
Currently, you can follow this thread or SRK Tool to change the oeminfo from C55 to C432, and flash other firmware.
If you want change to other country and/or operator's brand, I'll write a guide later depend on my experience.

Currently, My tool only provide the full firmware flash option, because the OTA package may depend on different version. It may support force OTA in the future.

Hi man, thanks for you reply.
So what I've to do is: 1. unlock bootloader 2. flash a special recovery 3. root the phone 4. flash the new oem data 5. flash the new firmware (compatible with the oem) and restore recovery + bootloader ?
Am I right ?
In all this, will I lose the warranty ?

Only one thing is incorrect , Step 5, using my tool + HiSuite restore to official firmware.
As I tested before, follow unbrick method, will automatically flash official recovery and restore the lock status.
As far as I know, that would not avoid the warranty.
Thanks for the tool man. Works great
Thanks a lot for work!
Hi man, I had c02 and I debranded to c432 using oem. Now I've c432b170 received by official ota. If I want rollback to c02b133( is it the latest official update for vodafone?) is it enough to use your software ore I'd to use oem again?

Yep, it is enough to use my tool to go back. Due to my tool only have full firmware listed, the C133 might not be the newest version. If not, the OTA is waiting after flash.[emoji14]
However, you need restore the oeminfo first for full restore, because you phone would get oem data partition based on it when you download latest full package with my tool.
Due to TWRP is essential for changing oeminfo, flash twice is essential for full refurbish. Firstly, use HiSuite to flash official system and recovery. Then, use the phone itself to restore one data.

Sorry i'm new user so i can't quote discussion for 10 reply):
I'd like to roll back to c02b133 from c432b170
So let's see if I've understood : flash vodafone firmware using your tool - unlock bootloader - install twrp - flash oeminfo and reset system..

No, the correct step is, unlock your phone -> flash recovery -> restore oeminfo -> flash firmware by HiSuite (it will lock your phone and flash official recovery automatically) -> flash again by phone for full restore oem data partition.
After all the steps, you can fully go back to stock firmware.
Format system to clean it is optional.
Cheers

Sorry but do not understand...
Correct steps : unlock your phone (unlock bootloader?) - flash recovery (install twrp?) - restore oeminfo ( flash oeminfo.zip by twrp?) - flash firmware by hisuite ( connect usb my phone to pc hisuite without your tool? ) - flash again by phone for full restore oem data partition ( what do i flash ? vodafone firmware by your tool?).
Excuse for my poor English and thanks again for patience

You can help users if they give the correct information!
You have unlocked the bootloader? If you have unlocked the bootloader when you put the devices into fastboot mode you get a message in red phone unlocked
If the phone not unlocked it is useless to flash the recovery or twrp
If the phone is unlocked cwm and twrp work to 100%

Hi guys,
this morning was uploaded STF-L09C432B150 Rollback update (FullOTA) on Huawei server. Here are download links:
http://http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1906/g1642/v105908/f1/full/update.zip

Changelog:
Code:
This update will roll back your phone's operating system to Android 7.0 (EMUI 5.1).
Rollback notes:
1. Please make sure you are currently using the official version of Huawei EMUI, and that no unofficial updates have been installed. Otherwise, there will be risk of an unsuccessful rollback, and an unknown error may occur.
2. Make sure that the current version has not been unlocked or rooted.
3. All user data will be deleted in the rollback. Use an SD card, computer, or Cloud storage to back up all important data before rolling back your phone, and make sure all backed up content is complete and effective.
4. Make sure your phone has more than 50% battery remaining.
5. If you experience any issues during the update, please call the Huawei customer service hotline or visit an authorised Huawei service centre for assistance.
6. The system will restart after the rollback. This will take about 10 minutes. Following the update, your home screen will automatically display the EMUI 5.1 theme.

I have now beta Oreo STF-L09 8.0.0.323(C432log). So this files are for rollback from this version.
And how to do it? First put update.app from first ZIP file do dload directory and flash it and then do the same with second app? As in this thread: https://androidforum.cz/advanced-search/?keywords=dload&t=76974&sf=msgonly (czech language)

I have a retail german version of the Honor9
After installing 150 you can also update to 180 via official system -> Update -> Download full package
wow I hope this means Oreo is comming officialy, mine was just updated to B180 since the one that came on the box, I think will be weird get two updates that fast, but I hope it comes soon
It's not ok for me. Not rooted, locked bootloader but when it restarts in recovery it give to me software failed error
I'm really hating Oreo (beta) in Honor 9 because performances are poor and battery too.
Did you do it like explained? Either in Huawei HiSuite or the Phone Manager (App) - No hacks or inofficial ways..

Hello dying_sun, i have the same problem.
Honor 9, STF L09 (Europe), now with OREO B360
- unlocked bootloader
- TWRP 3.1.1
- rooted with SuperSU
--> after some days I unrooted my device and locked my bootloader
(I use multitool for TWRP and stock recovery)
After unrooting OREO ota came and a realised that the capacitive buttons are not working. Tried different settings, only the home button works
What to do?
--> Rollback to B120.
I downloaded firmwares from different sites and tried different methods
3-button update: Installing failed
dload method sd card: Installing failed (NTFS format, 32 GB)
dload method internal memory: Installing failed
*#*#284...#*#* method, upgrade from sdcard: Installing failed
I tried to flash a kernel.....img (here in forum "Capacity fix" topic) but when I install it over TWRP the device asks me in which flash memory should it be flashed and I do not know what to choose. (system, ODM, splash2, recovery_ramdisk, cache)
I also tried the HWOTA method, but I get the message, that "recovery2" could not be written into ramdisk or something like that and then it stops.
Possible that I did not consider a little detail
Could you please tell me which firmware from firmware finder did you use and which method you choose to make rollback?
Slowly I get desperated with the phone.....
Thanks a lot in advance

I also tried the HWOTA method, but I get the message, that "recovery2" could not be written into ramdisk or something like that and then it stops.
Possible that I did not consider a little detail
Could you please tell me which firmware from firmware finder did you use and which method you choose to make rollback?
Slowly I get desperated with the phone.....
Thanks a lot in advance

First : Are you on nougat or oreo now, and what's your region ?
your phone is booting ok in system, but no capacitives buttons ? So you'll like to fix them before updating ?
When on nougat, for flashing the dload way a service repair nougat firmware, I think you must have formatted your SDcard to exFAT and not ntfs.
I think when using service repair dload files, you must use the same region files the phone is actually.
For info :
3-button update,
dload method,
& *#*#284...#*#* method,
Are all the same.
You also tried the HWOTA method, but which hwota files did you used ?

Hello oslo83,
The phones Emui is now Emui 8.0.0, B360.
I have an unlocked bootloader, booting is ok (message about unlocked bootloader comes first)
Capacitive buttons and flash light are not working --> I would like to fix them (this is the reason why I try to rollback to B120.
I tried to format to FAT 32, but not possible to copy update.app, because of size. With NTFS it worked. --> I try format to exFat
I downloaded a full-service-repair-package for europe from the site 4pda.ru.
Should I use Firmware finder?
What do you mean with "which HWOTA fileS? --> update.zip / update_full_data.zit and a third one..... comlete package, as described.
Thank you in advance.

Maybe to late to use dload as i don't think flashing dload nougat over oreo will work.
And the only public dload service repair firmware available seems to be only nougat.
And downgrading is maybe not usefull as it seems there is a simple fix for you now by flashing kernel...

No, I meant where did you get your hwota8.rar from ?
Where you using the new one for oreo or the old one for nougat ?
So for you the better will be to flash kernel fix : https://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=75772700
Help yourself, follow the instructions and don't try to install it over TWRP as you did before.

There is nowhere a note where to flash this kernel to? --> boot?, recovery_ramdisk? Splash? system? cache?
Do you perhaps know which flash directory should I use?
Here I present my tool to flash Honor stock firmware in TWRP recovery. I have tested it on all currently available firmwares for Honor 9 STF but still this tool is beta.
HuRUpdater
Huawei Recovery Updater
Flash official firmware zip files
Can detect if firmware locks bootloader
Can detect if firmware wipes data
Download:
HuRUpdater_0.4.zip
Tested up to STF-L09C432B369
HuRUpdater_0.3.zip
HuRUpdater_0.2.zip
Tested up to STF-L09C432B362
It's recommended to use a proper custom recovery (with running oeminfo_nvm_server service) like for example my version of TWRP.
How to use:
Warning: Make sure you know what you are doing and do not flash firmware from other devices.
Download firmware files (for official firmware use Huawei Firmware Finder).
Put files you want to flash in a seperate folder on sdcard.
Supported zip files to flash are (name must match):
update.zip (use FullOTA file)
update_all_hw.zip
update_data_public.zip
Optional: Put recovery.img in same folder if you want to keep custom recovery.
Put HuRUpdater zip in same folder. Example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select only HuRUpdater to flash in custom recovery.
Follow instructions on screen. Flashing can take multiple minutes.
Problems:
If firmware includes factory reset
Factory reset is not supported by custom recovery. Therefore HuRUpdater will flash stock recovery before launching factory reset. After flashing firmware and doing factory reset, you need to flash recovery manually.
Supported devices:
Honor 9
Honor View 10 (confirmed* by Rommco05)
Huawei P9 Lite (confirmed* by Tecalote)
Huawei P9 (confirmed* by Tecalote)
Huawei P Smart (confirmed* by flibblesan)

Custom recovery. When you flash stock firmware, the recovery is overwritten. By placing a recovery.img of TWRP in the folder, it will be automatically flashed after stock firmware. Therefore you will keep custom recovery.
Sorry for my bad english.
I'm on Oreo B360 with root and custom twrp (0.2).
Can i use this tool to downgrade to Nougat?
I would like to go back to B183 version...

Yes it should work. Downgrading to 183 will format data so make a backup.
Wonderful! It also solves the problems with bricked Honor 9
This tool is amazing. It should be a sticky post. You've no idea how many people will be saved by this tool. Dude, you rock amazingly. Be proud of yourself! It saved me countless hours of flashing, after many hours trying to recover a bricked honor 9... You should post this tool on Reddit with relevant information. It's an amazing tool.
can i use it for flash the stock fw on top the RRoS(android 7.1)?
Amazing tool that will delight more than one

If you can load to or flash and load to twrp your device is NOT bricked! )) It is very easy to flash zip's of official ROM in this case with or without this tool. This tool is very good by 2 reasons: 1) Can detect if ROM wipes data. 2) Can detect if ROM locks bootloader. It is very convinient! Good job.
PS Your device is bricked if you have error 2 and error 11 when trying to boot. It is not also a problem if you can still reach erecovery.
@zxz0O0 I'm on B360 and want to update to B362 but FF says it's not authorized (all versions say that), so I'd like to know what version you used and what is the danger (if any) of flashing an unauthorized firmware version.

Risk of flashing an unauthorized firmware:
None, that's just the relase method Huawei choose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_adoption
Risk of flashing a firmware:
Same as with official way, you could brick / destroy your device if you for example power off during fw flashing.

No it's not based on nocheck recovery. I have never tried small OTA files but it could work maybe.
@zxz0O0 Flashed latest B362 (dated March 28th) with no issues, thank you.
By the way, that March 23rd release of B362 has apparently been removed from server (that's what FF was saying on mine)
Great, works fine on Mate 9 (Although got E: Unknown command []] 2 times).
Updated from C432B366 to C432B367-SP1, mainly to test because B367-SP1 is some test firmware.

Thanks for feedback. This error is actually caused on how TWRP interprets the output of the flashable zip. It can be ignored.

Succesfully installed two updates in order BKL-L09C432B140 > BKL-L09C432B141 (both FULL OTA). This is amazing! Just small output, script detect bootloader will be locked but after installation wasn't. Very quick installation.

Today I will be giving a tutorial on how to root the Huawei P20 Lite using STOCK ROM (ANE-LX1 ANE-L01 ANE-L21)
If you need bootloader unlock code
----------------------------------------
You can use dc-unlocker but, only if you can rollback to 8.0.0.146 or lower (i was on 8.0.0.46 when i used dc-unlocker).
You can try to use PotatoNV, but that will require testpoint access (haven't tested yet).
You can use HCU client with a 3day account pass, which is quite expensive (I have not actually tested this yet).
Rollback EMUI 9 to EMUI 8
-----------------------------
This is where my frustrations with this phone began.
You can try to use dload method, but in my experience this DOES NOT WORK when you're on EMUI 9.
It will just give you an error about incompatible version, every time.
Forced dload was also a complete bust for me, 24 hours wasted
I was finally able to rollback from HiSuite 11. I was on 9.1.0.200 when I had the option to rollback and it rolled me back to 8.0.0.163.
From 8.0.0.163 I could use normal dload to rollback further until I could use dc-unlocker.
I made the mistake of upgrading to EMUI 9 after I unlocked my bootloader. My advise: if you can manage to get to 8, stay there. It's less bloated and feels smoother. I have not received the option to rollback after I re-upgraded to 9 since. And I have not found AANNYY method to rollback to 8 since then, I pretty much gave up and stayed on EMUI 9.
EMUI 8
---------
copy magisk23.zip to sdcard
flash twrp to recovery_ramdisk.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "twrp-3.2.1-0.img"
EDIT: ***NEW official TWRP version*** TWRP 3.6.2.0_9-0
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "twrp-official-3.6.2_9-0-anne.img"
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
Once in twrp install the magisk23.zip file.
This will patch the boot.img from recovery_ramdisk.img with magisk v23
Reboot -> System
Once in android you will get the usual magisk app, open and allow to perform additional tasks like installing the manager app.
Pretty straight forward
EMUI 9
---------
While still on stock firmware, update your android to the highest possible firmware (HiSuite or on phone -> Settings -> System ....)
1. When your back in android power off phone.
2. Go into fastboot (USB cable plugged in -> Power + Vol Down)
3. Flash twrp into recovery_ramdisk
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp-3.2.1-0.img
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
Now In TWRP
4. Install Image -> twrp-3.2.1-0.img into eRecovery partition
5. Install Image -> magisk23_patched-ane.img into Recovery Partition
6. Reboot -> Recovery
Note: So booting into recovery mode gives you a ROOTED environment and System Mode gives you NON-ROOTED.
EDIT: *** With the new TWRP 3.6.2.0_9-0 you will have to boot into recovery (by holding Vol Up + Power till the screen comes on) every time you boot the phone or it will boot into normal system where the root environment isn't present ***
That's it. Now you should have root access.
You can still use twrp, but you have to access it like you would access eRecovery. So from power off (coldstart) -> Hold Vol Up while plugging in the USB Cable, continue to hold Vol Up, till you get the twrp logo.
Caution: This overwrites eRecovery, this can be dangerous, as eRecovery is the only thing standing between you can a hard brick if twrp wont boot anymore. This is due to fastboot not being able to flash eRecovery. You can only flash eRecovery from twrp. This is particularly dangerous if your data partition gets corrupted, this can happen when formatting data through twrp 3.4.0 and above. When your data partition is corrupt, twrp will freeze on the loading logo, leaving you no way to flash the original eRecovery.
Note: I think you can flash the eRecovery_ramdisk.img over the normal recovery_ramdisk in case of a brick situation. Though I haven't tested that idea yet, im just planning on going that route if I run into such a scenario. The eRecovery is particularly usefull as it can recover almost any situation by using wifi to download a stock rom and full flash that entire rom.
This way is robust, no need for key combo's when restarting the device etc.
All Downloads (GDrive):
Gdrive
After the root, you might find yourself needing safetynet attest pass.
This can be achieved by:
1. Open Magisk and setup MagiskHide ( Search on XDA if you don't know how to do this )
2. Magisk Modules -> Install Riru
3. Magisk Modules -> Install from storage -> Select safetynet-fix-v2.1.0.zip
note: If PropsConfig is installed, remove it first and reboot
If you need to use Smali then it's once again kinda straight forward.
1. Copy /system/framework to sdcard (anywhere u can copy it from)
2. Copy the framework folder onto pc
3. Open SmaliPatcher.exe -> Select the framework folder -> select patch options and patch
4. Copy the created magisk module zip file onto sdcard
5. Install magisk module -> Magisk -> Modules -> Install from storage
Hope you have a smooth experience rooting this device.

No matter what I did, dload failed, I must have downloaded 30 roms and tried every which way with dload. Nothing worked!!!!!
dload only worked on same EMUI. So nope sorry dude dload was a no go for me. Maybe it works for someone else, which is why I mentioned it.
And yes, TWRP 3.4.0 and above. I was using a twrp(3.5.2_9-0) from official twrp repository for ANE-LX1 when I formatted my data partition. However, that's not the point.
Someone else is absolutely BOUND to fall into this trap too, and as I said that TWRP came from the official chain.
So my only intention is to warn the next guy who might just be using that version or for whatever other reason twrp doesn't start anymore. I'm just saying - BE CAREFUL

Are you saying I should try to use this TWRP to use HuRUpdater to downgrade to 8?
I plan on using the HiSuite downloaded firmware ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185) with HuRUpdater.
Current folder stucture:
ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185)\full\update.zip
ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185)\full\ANE-L01_hw_meafnaf\update_full_ANE-L01_hw_meafnaf.zip
Planned folder structure after renames:
ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185)\full\update.zip
ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185)\full\update_all_hw.zip
ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185)\full\HuRUpdater_0.4.zip
Then flash HuRUpdater_0.4.zip in twrp 3.2.1-0 by pretoriano80 like the quoted text suggests?
Am I getting this right?
PS: The twrp I am using now -> 3.2.1-0 GAGUGA Edition (Also the one in my download hyperlink)
EDIT: I am on 9.1.0.355(C185) now. But, it is still trying to give me OTA update of the exact same build, so dunno what thats about

Bingo!
Then I have a problem.
Not one single downloaded firmware anywhere gave me 3 files. It's always just the update.zip (or update_sd.zip for dload) and the hw update.
How can HiSuite flash that firmware then? I just need to flash this 163 rom. But nothing works
***EDIT***
Know what, doesn't matter. I'm pretty fed up with this phone and how Huawei implemented this phones partitioning style and just everything.
I mean where is Odin for Huawei? And just how they withdrew support to get unlock code, limited fastboot command etc.
Just everything about huawei....
I got my ANE-LX1 to a stable root with everything I need working perfectly, so Imma call it a win and move on.
But, you've been great dude and basically almost all useful information I got either came from you ( @-Alf- ) or XDA, so thnx everyone

I'll keep it in my back pocket, when i'm bored some time this week I might try it.
Else screw it, to hell with you huawei.
PS: Still better then the LG G6, which is unrootable (short of opening it up) due to the total inablility to get unlock code.
so do we run this to keep the stock eRecovery?
Install Image -> twrp-3.2.1-0.img into eRecovery partition
coz i got stuck in a situation where the phone would boot to twrp only and nothing else, somehow managed to get back to stock

this is only necessary if you want to have both Magisk root and TWRP on board at the same time. (on EMUI 9.1 ramdisk is
included in the recovery_ramdisk).
If you don't need TWRP, just flash magisk_patched_recovery in fastboot mode.
ok but i was trying to remove bloatware i caused the rom to bootloop and then tried factory reset from twrp and now other than twrp nothing boots, where can i get factory image from to get it back to working?
all i need is root with magisk and want to keep the stock erecovery.
if there are better custom roms with volte etc all working then im willing to try it out

That was not a good idea. On Huawei phones, you can only perform a factory reset from stock recovery.

Depends on your build number - model, EMUI version, region variant (Cxxx). What is your b.number?

All Treble GSI ROMs on Huawei have common bugs - no VoLTE, no offline charging, no native call recording...
since now i can only boot to twrp and fastboot mode how do i know the model and region?
i bought the phone as nova3e in UAE and currently was on emui 9.1, if i can just get the erecovery back then can make it download the firmware and flash it
Hello Community,
I wanted to make this post because there is some wrong information or insufficient information regarding that switching regions betweens roms requires you to unlock the bootloader.
I found a way it works, I updated from MIUI 12.5.2.0 EEA to 12.5.4.0 (then to 12.5.5.0 ota) Global Stable using XiaomiToolV2 (unofficial Tool).
These are the following Steps:
1. Download XiaomiToolV2
2. I did download the rom from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/vayu/ (while the tool checks the files integrity, download with your own risk)
3. Enable Developer Options and then USB Debugging
4. Open XiomiToolV2 and select your device first, then follow the instructions and after that boot to recovery and select MiAssistant
5. In XiomiToolV2 select Local MIUI/Rom Option and add your file (Incase it doesnt allow you to add the file put the in file name and open)
6. It should verify the file now and pushes it on the device (this can take a while, be patient and dont restart the device on your own
After reaching 100% the phone should reboot automatically to the system
I hope it did work out for you
Hi @Areasu, when you switch regions using this method, does it wipe your data? I relock bootloader using std oem method after flashing rom of different region, data is always wiped.

My data wasnt wiped it installed like an update
Non-stop error.
So you do not need to unlock the bootloader? I understand that XiomiToolV2 is to be installed on the computer and the phone should be connected to the computer, right?

Yes, but in the tool the option Official Xiaomi Rom it tells me *Requirements: Unlocked Bootloader*. But when I use Local ZIP File method it works.
I see you had ghost touch issue, some people said it disappeared on 12.5.5.0
I still have this touch problem. Though it had been quiet for the past week
I understand that you have updated MIUI 12.5.2.0 EEA to 12.5.4.0 with xiaomitoolv2 and the update to 12.5.5.0 appeared on the phone just like that?
It may also be possible to download 12.5.4.0 Global to the phone and install via ota through the option select the update package

yes it does work
I was able to install rom Global 12.5.5.0 as you wrote, except that I had to do wipe data because the system would not start and it kept going back to recovery. Only after the wipe date did it work
Thank you so much for posting this, it was really fast and easy to understand. I really didn't want to be on EU but thought I'd have to unlock bootloader and wipe my data so I'm glad this worked. (^‿^)
Ps: I used the recovery rom not the fastboot rom maybe you should specify what you used.

Okay from what I understand fastboot might wipe your data so I just wanted to make sure people don't get the wrong one and lose all their data.

I think yes, recovery didnt wipe my data. Im not even sure if fastboot roms from other regions will allow flash. This guide is only for flashing recovery roms from different regions. (google says fastboot rom requires unlocked bootloader)

I followed your instructions and changed from EEA to GLOBAL using the latest, RECOVERY, official ROM for my POCO X3 PRO.
Thank you!
Are Google apps and Playstore working properly?
Has anyone tried this method to switch from global to Indonesian rom?
Hi everyone! I am getting an ERROR in my Poco X3 Pro
I tried to do the same using XiaomiTool V20.7.28 (latest), from 12.5.4.0 EEA to 12.5.7.0 GLOBAL as the updater suggested. But for some reason I am getting this adb "sideload error status 1" like this image. My battery is 98%. Any ideas?
