Looking for Official Support [Mate 9 Lite - BLL-L23]

Hey, everyone,
I just bought a new Mate 9 Lite [BLL-L23] and would like some help with how to make it my own. I am familiar with other devices - but, not the BLL-L23.
I am very appreciative, my friends! Here's what I'd like to know:
1. Does anyone know when we'll get Android Oreo (or, at the least, Android Nougat)?
-- I am currently running 6.0; EMUI 4.1.
2. Is there an official support forum for the BLL-L23?
3. Does anyone know how to root the BLL-L23 using Magisk or Chainfire (which is better)?
4. Is there a recent TWRP recovery available?
5. What else should I do to take full advantage of my device?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING, EVERYONE!

I am currently downloading the latest full firmware, and I know it's not a problem to install it - but, when I check the Firmware Status, it says that the firmware is not approved for installation. Is there still a way to install it? What does this mean? Thank you very much, PalakMi ?

No problem

Mate 9 Lite is a rebranded H6x, OpenKirin's TWRP works fine. You can also use Firmware Finder for updating. Magisk works fine too. I think all Custom ROMs on this forum should work. I'm planning to flash RROS but I'm waiting for some bugfixes.
The only thing I suggest you is, if you want to update your Stock ROM, you MUST flash the right ROM for your device.

Realme 5 Pro - VOLTE ?

hello, I have noticed in youtube videos that the indian model uses volte. With my Eu model (firmware A09) I don't find this setting. Although I use an original O2 card and in my other mobile phone it goes without problems.
Is there a keyboard code to activate?
Some informations about Wifi-Calling?
Thx

I've easily solved volte issues with a small hack but it needs unlocked bootloader and twrp.

No Root, possible for Eu/ India Rom user, unfortunally.
Support said it works but not for me.
Checked with A11 and new A13 Firmware.
dear people, tell me, who owns the eu model and who has the Volte? and with which provider?
thx

Anyone got Viper4Android to work with this new version? No luck for me. All the methods which worked with the previous version failed. One method got it installed, but it stopped processing as soon as a audiofile is played.

After nearly 24 hrs test, I'm feeling some improvement on battery life and the drain is less than previous update

48 hours later: ROM is defective as previous v11.0.4.
crash / reboot / losing app preferences config / mock location unstable / crashing

No such issues with 11.0.4. Did you try to do a factory reset? Usually it helps with such strange issues.

This started happening after OTA update to 11.0.4
I've manually updated to 11.0.6 but same thing.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did that in the past with another Xiaomi device but the thing is that I'd like to avoid losing everything & restart from scratch...
I tried to clean all data/cache for all apps with a cleaner but without luck.
I'm hoping that a newer ROM will be able to fix the issue... Maybe I'm wrong... Will see with next update...
I have sent numerous crash bug reports to Xiaomi but they never bothered to contact me about it.
It seems they don't care or are too busy.

Give it a try, I saw a lot of reports where a factory reset solved such bizarre problems happening after major software change.

After flashing this I find out it is a Chinese ROM not the EU one and having issues with sim card not being recognized.......a lot of issues later I got the Sim card working again so be careful......

"euro" rom !?
do you mean global?
I used the one shared by subhraw here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81926515&postcount=3
instead of laughing you should tell us why you think it's a chinese only rom...
normally you cannot update a global rom with a chinese rom without doing a flash update
I did NOT use a flash tool (used instead MIUI update option)
so this is probably not a chinese only but a beta global ROM but I might be wrong...

Because it tells you the region in the rom well it did for me and when I looked for a European version of this ROM it told me it was coming Soon........

Can I flash global P40Pro+ with Chinese firmware (ELS-N39 -> ELS-AN10) ?

The reason for this question would be to have call recorder working. Reportedly feature exists on Chinese firmware but doesn't exist on UK/EU/Global one ...
1) Would it work using Huawei Hi Suite proxy ?
2) Would finally call recording work with this change ?
Alternatively,
3) Can I extract HwCallRecorder from Chinese ROM and "adb install ...." it into global one ??
Thanks experts

It won't, it's just an APK?

I said about his idea to flash chinese fw to global version not an apk , anyway installing APK wont do anything.

Take a look at this thread. I haven't tested it yet but people report that it works.

New Mi 10 Ultra user needing help

Hello XDA forums,
I've recently required a global version of the mi 10 ultra after a phone swap. I'm not flash/bootloading/ROM toting gunslinger and have no clue about this software installed on the phone called TWRP.
From my research I've found it's a bootloader that allows the device to be used in other countries and gives access to Google play store.
But I just wondered whether going back to stock is an option, and if so, would that present any issues i.e. lose assess to play store.
If there is a simplified guide or any guide in general I'd be more than happy to look at it
Kind regards

Thank you for clarifying that for me having spoke to someone via the Xiaomi forums, they stated that it is used on the mi 10 ultra to by pass the Chinese stock ROM and allow Google play store.
The thing I'm lost about is what ROM am I currently using and how do I update it? Would you be able to direct me to some information to troubleshoot this?
Kind regards,
Alex

Basically Yes, you will lose access to the playstore as China does not allow it on their phones. The 10 ultra's sold to people outside of China had a cutdown version of Google services put on but it did not have location history or find phone and other parts. If you do go back to stock Chinese, you can find playstore app in their version of appstore and if you install it, you can get full Google services again.
If you have the Xiaomi EU ROM installed and you live outside of China, then that version is your best bet. It comes in 2 versions, weekly or stable and both are still updated, so make your choice, stock ROM is available here.. http:/mifirm.net and do a search for cas or mi 10 ultra and install the latest fastboot or recovery ROM if you have twrp recovery installed ( you probably will if you have the EU ROM) or pop over the Xiaomi EU forum for the latest info here.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/xiaomi-mi-10-pro-10lite-ultra-10t-pro-lite-10s.204/ and here for the weekly ROM.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-12-0-12-1-12-2-12-5-stable-release.56191/ and the weekly ROM here.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/21-6-16-17.61822/ .
All the info on twrp and the ROMs are on the Xiaomi EU forum but there is lots of help and advice here once you make your choice of where you want to go. The 10 Ultra is a dam good phone with the latest EU ROM installed.
