[Q] VF 845 - new firmware flash mode - whats this???

Today i played with my Vodafone 845 and tried to flash a new Custom Rom.
Somehow i pressed the wrong buttons(Power+VolumeUp+EndCall) for the Recovery and i got a new screen which i never saw before.
Does anybody know what this is, and if you can use it to flash the original firmware onto the device?
I added a photo of the Phone.

its normal dont worry
you pressed the keys for huawei update
when you have an update from huawei it self you must do this for flashing it
sorry for my english
thanks

thanks for the reply,
i have an update file from huaweidevice.com and i would like to restore the device to the original state, do you know how i can do it with this firmware screen, where do i have to put the file, sdcard, specific folder ?
thanks

I have some error.
I have downloaded file from huaweidevice V845 V100R001NZLC02B233SP01 (New Zealand Vodafone)
And i have error after unpack

I have an IDEOS but it'll be the same procedure.
Put the dload folder from your update zip file on the root of your sdcard.
Do what you did to get to that screen and the flash will happen.
That's all there is to it.

Excuse me for my english.

New Zealand Vodafone 845
Hi.
I have installed the New Zealand rom, extracting the folder dload with the UPDATA.APP file inside. Then i copied to the root of the microSD card using a card reader.
Then on android, on Definitions->Storage...-> Update Software and confirmed. The phone went normal and everything was erased.
This version is quite stable but has too much icons of Vodafone, not to mention that is allways asking to register on Vodafone Website.

[Q] Root - South Africa

I would like to root a Desire S, VODACOM, South Africa, but ran into a wall(s) First I had problems installing the Android Tools as the SDK Manager just refuse to run no matter how the path was changed but I did manage to get the 4 main files needed to do the job.
adb.exe
adbwinapi.dll
adbwinusbapi.dll
Fastboot.exe
Also downloaded AndroidFlasher, 4EXT Recovery and su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
I registered an account at HTCDev and select Desire * from the list. In the RUU list that follows there is no South Africa Vodacom to select to download. I was advised to select UK Vodacom as it is the same but ..... when I ran the utility everything goes fine displaying the current image version an the update version.
Hit the update button and it boots the phone then display ERROR[130] MODEL ID ERROR The ROM utility can not update your Android device.
Anyone perhaps from South Africa that can help me out there? Anybody will also do. Plse.

CSC question

Hello - I am reverting from a custom firmware to Stock and flashed stock last night using:
Security Patch Level 2017-12-01
Product code SWC
PDA G920FXXS5EQL5
CSC G920FVFG5EQJ5
The first try failed at hidden.img and I used a pit file and suceede the 2nd time to successfully stock flash.
I used ZEROFLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN200M.pit which is multi CSC to support SWC which is what I need for OTA Updates.
I do not want to root my phone again but don't mind reflashing/resetting/factory resetting.
Samsung Info App now shows:
Product Code: SM-G920FKZESIM
Original CSC Code: <BLANK>
Firmware CSC Code: SIM
Active CSC Code: SIM
Available CSC Codes: ATL, CNX, CYV, MOB, MTL, OMN, SIM, SWC, tCL, VD2, VDC, VDF, VDH, VGR, VIP, VOD
CSC Country: Slovenia / SI
Mobile Operator: SwissCom
How can I get the CSC Code set to SWC? I want to get Voice over IP calling working which SwissCom says should be working.

Any advice on next move?

try this, not sure if it works: *#272*imei#* -Display/change CSC code

Download and run this;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841&d=1467715462
When you open the program, type the values given here;
Model: SM-G920F
Region: SWC
Auto: Selected
Manual: Unselected
Binary Nature: Selected
Check CRC32: Selected
Decrypt automatically: Selected
When you write and select options given above, press "Check Update" and then press "Download" to download factory firmware for your device.
Once the download has been finished, extract the zip file that you've downloaded via SamFirm.
After unzip it, download and run this Odin (even if you have another one);
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3804544&d=1467772303
When you open it, press BL and select file which starts with BL from downloaded (from Samfirm) and extacted zip folder.
Do the same thing for AP, CP, CSC.
When you set 4 files to Odin, connect your phone in download mode.
After that, press Start. When Odin done the installation, phone will restart. When it is restarted, disconnect the cable.
After 1-2 minutes, phone will boot up as completely refreshed device.

Hi forumber2 - Thanks for the detailed response. I ran through the steps but the phone still shows Slovenia CSC. I then did a factory reset and still the same.
The Samsung Info app actually shows the same data as before:
Product Code: SM-G920FKZESIM
Original CSC Code: <BLANK>
Firmware CSC Code: SIM
Active CSC Code: SIM
Available CSC Codes: ATL, CNX, CYV, MOB, MTL, OMN, SIM, SWC, tCL, VD2, VDC, VDF, VDH, VGR, VIP, VOD
CSC Country: Slovenia / SI
Mobile Operator: SwissCom
Still no VOIP calling. Even had my provider send me a new SIM card,

Hello
Before I start I want to let you know that my English is poor ..
I've been trying to update my Mate 20 X to EMUI 10 since 1/12/2019 using system update and Hicare .. but nothing
so I was looking for other ways to download it
I found a website to download this firmware ( must pay $18 ) to download this firmware .. I paid $18 and download the update and install it using dload method
so I uploaded the Firmware to Mediafire to download for free and I hope this can help everyone looking for this update
Before you download .. you must check your phone information and it must be :
- Model Number : EVR-L29
- Build number starting with (C185XXXXXXX)
- if your phone information is different .. please write it in new reply and I will check if I can provide you with firmware .
- Everything in internal storage will be removed ( Data - Settings - Accounts ) .
I used dload method with SD card ( not working with internal storage ) .. I didn't try SP Flash Tool or Flashy tool
How to download and install firmware using dload method :
1- Download firmware from here ( 4.06GB )
2- Unzip file to SD card Directly.
3- make sure the file location must be like this ( SD ==> dload ) inside dload folder there are 3 zip files .. DO NOT EXTRACT THEM
4- Turn off your phone and make sure it's not connected to PC/LAPTOP.
5- Press & hold The volume up + The volume down first .. then press the power button and keep pressing all together
6- keep pressing until the EMUI Logo Appears .. you can stop pressing now
7- wait until the installation finish and your mobile will restart .
8- now your phone is ready :good:
Have a good day :fingers-crossed:

Good information! Thanks! :good:

Hi all.
1. Is this a beta version or the final / release version for C185?
2. Is there any way to do this WITHOUT an SD card? The cheapest Huawei NM card out there runs for about $40 which seems ridiculous only for an update.\
Thanks!

EMIUI 10
Fota update
now

Where is the big update that suppose to fix the uneven volume and bring march or feb security?

P20 Pro CLT-AL00 (CN)

Hi folks,
I got this CLT-AL00 (CN) and the phone is amazing, though is running the Chinese firmware and it has some restrictions in Europe. I did some research today about changing the firmware to CLT-L29 and it confirmed what I feared.
But still I will ask anyway because long time since my last Android, can I install the Stock version of CLT-L29 and success? or it will brick/fail because its a firmware for another country?
Right now the phone is not rooted and it runs:
- Build number: 9.0.0.187 (C00E57R1P15) GPU Turbo
- EMUI version: 9.0.0
- Bootloader Version: Chipset-boston9.0.0.001(0416)_FASTBOOT
- Vendor Component Version: Chipset-boston 9.0.0.001(P.19042504.china)
- Cust-CHN 9.0.0.1(P.EXT4)
- Product Component Version: Product-CLT-LGRP1-CHN 9.0.0(P.19010502)
- Base Software Version: CLT-LGRP1-CHN 9.0.0.187
- Cust Software Version: CLT-AL00-CUST 9.0.0.57(00)
- Preload Software Version: CLT-AL00-PRELOAD 9.0.0.15(c00R1)
- Vendor Country Info: Vendor - all, Country - cn
Another extra questions, do people pay for getting the bootloader code or Huawei still provide it? Or perhaps there are other ways...

You cannot get the code, and without it you cannot do anything. Use the phone as is.

Thanks for confirming it! I suppose that somebody did the test already, right? because its not mentioned that it should be used for the same location, either that or its obvious!
