DUGL to UHL conversion

Hey guys,
Here's the situation, I have a 128GB/6GB model on Euro FW '401'. Mine is the DUAL SIM DUGL model.... I am hoping to convert to UHL.
I know there is no 'S-Off' available yet... although Sunshine team are looking into a release as beaups has it working on his device. Quote from jcase in Sunshine Thread.
Anyway, I have 'trusted reboot' option and I can change CID and MID as required.
Trying to get everyone ready for when we do have s-off lol.
I REALLY DON'T WANT A BRICK THOUGH, LOL
Anyway, I have done the 'leg work' and extracted and compared MANY RUUs to find difference in the files (main one to look at being bootloader (abl))
Any thoughts?
@Kisakuku you seem to be on to it with this stuff + only S-Off model I know of round here
Please find Google Sheet where I have compared MD5s of the extracted files (from RUUs) and colour coded
Main Idea would be to get to UHL 401 and from there I could get to US 617.
To me it looks pretty safe, especially as all the ABLs (new bootloader) are the same across all variants, incl JAPAN and CHINA.
I.e even if device didn't boot then we could still get to bootloader to flash something else

Thanks in advance to all.
On a side note: did HTC turn off OTA for Unlocked bootloader (/with s-on) as ive had M7->10 and have always been able to get OTAs. i.e download

Are you saying mine is S-Off? No, just a regular OCEAN#WHL, S-On Unlocked.

My bad, could have sworn I saw a post from you about a development phone with s-off. Lol.
Anyway, any interest in the above?

I might have posted a photo of download mode showing factory S-Off, but it was somebody else's Taiwanese U11.

lulz indeed. Although, that's not me. My handle everywhere is stifilz (makes it easier to remember lol).
I did come across that thread and that's what gave me the idea to look into it.
I just wait for s-off and/or someone else to try.
Thanks for the input thus far.....
P.S Still hanging out for the 1.27.401.x OTA

any thoughts anyone?

Hi everyone,
I have a DualSIM U11 with CID HTC_A07 and there is no updates in sight, while the HTC_001 is on Oreo already. Since we now have the S-OFF from Sunshine, would the OP's idea work? Can I change the MID and CID so that I have the HTC_001 European UHL version, to get all the updates first? (UHL because I don't use the second SIM slot and the little number 1 by the signal icon is kinda triggering my OCD. )

The european version's Oreo update isn't available yet and was delayed due to some "complexities".
If you want Oreo now, you should choose TW or US CIDs…*or install a custom ROM.

Nope. Not true. Cid HTC_001 (401) is not on Oreo. BS_001 (617) IS on oreo. Eu wwe is still waiting.
Yes changing the cid works but you might want to wait as BS_001 is htc's Guinea pig. HTC_001 won't be getting oreo before February, or at least I highly doubt it.

The problem solved itself - HTC released the update for EMEA. So thanks for the input.
I couldn't install a custom ROM as I didn't have the firmware for Oreo. I'm not S-OFFed.

Hi, did you manage to get the "cross-flash" done? (Dugl to uhl)
I am thinking about to do the other direction at the moment!
I have U11 eur ocean uhl and the question is if there is the posibility to cross-flash to eur ocean dugl?
Is the second sim slot only deactivated by software, or isn´t it present on the Hardware?
At the moment I use a stock system image from a dugl on my uhl with the dual sim manager, which only finds Sim 1 even with 2 Simcards in my U11, but I cannot flash a firmware for dugl because I am not S-OFF....so, the second sim slot is not working at this moment, hopefully that it is only software related!?
Do you have some information about this?
Thanks and Greets

U11 Life and Treble questions

Are all the U11 Life versions treble enabled?
Or do I have to buy specifically the european version?
Can I flash an european rom on the american version to get treble enabled?

Install some sort of terminal and type
getprop ro.treble.enabled
Where you will get a true or false response
Here is som good reading https://www.xda-developers.com/project-treble-android-oreo/

Wish we knew this also. I'd **guess** that htc made the US version a Treble device, given the UK one has to be... but one never knows.
If the US ver devices are getting Oreo now, someone should be able to do the above and find out? Thnx

The android one version has treble enabled.

Since some got their bootloaders unlocked with an exploit before August, does this mean people can start development on TWRP and ROMs?

Yes devs have started building TWRP now .You can expect the official twrp in the comming days

Dont we need an unlockable bootloader though? From that article it looks like HMD are just doing what they should be in sharing the code.

There was an exploit (bug) found in Oreo [Edit: Also in Pie Beta, before August] before August security patch, which allowed some people to unlock their bootloaders permanently.
So, now, those people can start developing custom ROMs and custom recoveries like TWRP for our Nokia 7 plus using the source code. :good:

i can confirm, have unlocked half year and after some problems (missed gestures/liftup/playcertification with magisk installed, not upgradable without patching boot.img etc) finaly after november update all(not ota) work fine, also play is certified and updatable...
edit: i unlock with pie dp before august

So, the kernel code will be useful only for those who have unlocked their bootloader. For others, it doesn't make any difference, right?

What is that mean and what can we do now, geniuses? ??

Yup. If Nokia does release a bootloader unlock for us other users, then it'll be useful for us too. But eh, I wouldn't count on it.

This means that those people with unlocked bootloaders (though there are only a few with those) can now start making or use TWRP and Custom ROMs.
This was not possible without the source code, so this is a thing to be mildly happy about, as still, most of us can't unlock our bootloaders yet.

Thanks. I liked this phone with oreo much more than pie. It became heavy and slow..

OP 7 PRO from China - any problems in the future?

As it stands right now, I can buy 6/128 for less then $500. Looks pretty good to me. Not as kewl as 8/256, but still.
Is there any bad consequences (aside from absence of warranty obviously) of that move? I already read that I can flash GM1917 OOS over GM1910 H2OS. That's great. Anything else? Any issues with bands in North America for Chinese 7 PRO?
Does someone knows if bootloader on GM1910 variant is unlocked?
Thank you

No issue as far as i can se. Unlocked my bootloader too. GM1910 8/256.

So, has your bootloader been locked originally? From where you bought your phone?
Are the phones exactly the same inside? Would I have any issues flashing ROMs?

Originally it was locked with hydrogen os. Flashed oxygen os without any issues using the local upgrade method. It's exactly the same inside.

How you unlocked the bootloader? OEM unlock and then fast boot OOS?

Roms

Hi,
I want to get my bootloader unlocked for snapdragon version but I there are not many roms available.
I am looking for Lineage OS or Miuirom or pixel rom.
Any idea when we can get them.
Thanks

Snapdragon can't be rooted past bootloader 2. As far as roms go, there are only stock roms, but somewhere on the forum its mentioned about GSI roms, but VOLTE is broken because its always been a samsung issue and not much work being done. I'm sure there are a few people out there working on personal builds, but nothing released to the public that I've seen. (Aside from Exynos)
