Hi there!
So today I flashed the new Simply International B206 on my original GEM701L which was running Lineage. I immediately got asked a 'Perso code'/sim unlock code after I unlocked my sim with its password. It is a code for sim lock, while in my country and where I bought the phone there is no sim lock.
I tried restoring my KangVIP backup and my Lineage backup, both without result; the problem persisted. I am thinking about downgrading with this method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/help/gem-701l-b211-convert-to-factory-default-t3503799.
I am really puzzled here and haven't seen anything like this in all my years hacking on XDA.
@ajsmsg78 / @audioralf , do you experts have any idea what to do in this situation?
Thanks in advance!
This came because you were on Lineage. The B206 is an incremental update based on B205 which ist available as full version.
So I guess something on the system was missing when you swapped from another ROM.
You must do a full wipe when comming from other rom. Then install the stock B202 or B205 which are available as full versions.
Then you can install TWRP and install AJ's B206 international

I get a new Mate 7 some days before and after a root process i'm trying now to reset the Device to the stock State and i'm little bit confused about all the Firmwares which are available for a download.
My Mate 7 is a MT7-TL10 Version with a preinstalled Firmware- Version MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B120SP04. I'm searching on the Huawai official Site under Region Switzerland for my ROM Version and i found and download it, but after extracting the ZIP File, i found a Word Document named MT7-L09 instead of MT7-TL10. So i'm not able to flash it, i mean i didn't try it because it's not the same Model and i wan't brick it. After reading three different Forums about Firmaware and flashing the Mate 7, i download the Global ROM MT7-TL10V100R001C00B119SP03. I was able to flash it and after a completed Factory Reset in the Stock- Recovery with Wipe Data/System & Wipe Cache it looks like SuperSU it's gone, BUT!!
I get some new Stuff on my Phone like Opera Browser and Payment UICC, and i'm not able to get OTAs. If i search for it on the Phone i allways get the same Message, there aren't Updates available. I thought if i flash MT7-TL10V100R001C00B119SP03 i would be able to get to MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B120SP04 by OTAs but it looks i was wrong.
Can somebody explain to me what to do to get the Fimware Version on the Phone where it was delivered with it? Please..
Many thanks!

I solved my Problem with Restore to Stock.
And this is how i do it:
After i wasn't able to download the ROM Version MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B120SP04 from Huawai Global Site when i choose Switzerland as my Conutry even though a download was available, but after unziping the File you get instead MT7-TL10 a MT7-TL09 ROM, i choose Italy as my Country and i get the right ROM.
I unzipped the ROM and copied it to the local Store of the Phone, then used the EMUI Updatetool and choose a local Store update. The Phone does a restart and boot up after the Update was done. To remove Opera and other Stuff from MT7-TL10V100R001C00B119SP03 i do a Factory reset. After the Phone boot up again, it was the original State like it was delivered the first Time. After check for OTAs i received a new Update and was able to install it successfull, so im now on MT7-TL10V100R001C00B125SP02.
Maybe it helps someone.
Thanks again!
Hey bud, so what's is the major and minor improvement of this latest firmware compared to the older one do you think?
Does your Huawei MT7-TL10 have dual SIMs?
yes, the gold version.

Hello guys.
I'm new to Huawei devices. I've previously successfully rooted LG, Samsung and HTC devices, but I'm having trouble to understand how this works on the Mate 8.
I have a NXT-L09 model from AT&T Mexico. I didn't have any issue getting the code to unlock the bootloader nor installing TWRP so I thought it waa going to be easy to root by just installing the SuperSU zip in TWRP.
The issue is that TWRP is asking me for a password I didn't set and is unable to read my internal storage. I have researched and discovered that is because the device is encrypted.
My plan is to first make a backup of my current ROM because I haven't found a stock ROM of the C212B120 version I have. Then I'd like to root my phone so I want to make sure that there's something I can do to decrypt my phone, I have read that there is a file that is flash able in TWRP, but does it depend on the model or something?
I'm also considering flashing the stock international ROM so I can have fastest updates. How could I make the model change?
Please, if anybody is able to clarify this to me and guide me through the process, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
This is SAD...
Hey man, i think that is very sad that there are almost none updates for the same rom, I'am also on ATT Single Rom L09C212, and i have no luck updating it or finding firmwares.
did you update your phone?
i just hope that huawei release the nougat update for our phones.
greetings from Monterrey!

Hello mate, i found a solution and successfully update my device to Oreo officially i just changed the CID and MID back to KIDDI japan au and downloaded the marshmallow official flash zip file (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1noyAV4mGLTRNGaXqbdweRHsARWZ9J6LH) and install it by placing it to Mirco SD card after installation i went to software update and updated to Oreo. PS: my device were network locked while i were trying to convert it to international version but after flashing it unlocked automatically probably i flashed the wrong version. let me know in case of any problem.
Hello,
I'm new to Xiaomi world, and i want to understand some points :
I have a Xiaomi 10 Ultra with MIUI 12.0.15.QJJCNXM Stable by xiaomi.eu installed by the Trandingshenzen + TWRP 3.4.2b-0623 wzsx150
Today i received an OTA notification for the update to 12.1.1.0.RJJCNXM
I need some answers to understand how Xiaomi world works :
1-What is my rom exactly ? official, no-official, fan-build ...
2-Base on the first question, the OTA i recevied is Official also or other variant (no-official, Fan-build) ?
3-As i have a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader, the OTA can be installed on my phone or it will brick my phone ?
4-If answer to question 3 is yes(OTA Installed), am i loosing the TWRP or not ? (Important question)
5-If answer to 3 is No, how can go get OTA updated ? (maybe flashing a full rom will be a solution, this will make me loosing all data ? and TWRP also ? )
Last one 6-which are official/Stable roms available for the Mi 10 ULTRA beside chinese orignal one ?
Thanks a lot guys for your understanding and your help.
Regards,
1-What is my rom exactly ? official, no-official, fan-build ...
It is the stable ROM branch. It is based on the official latest stable Chinese version, so as near official as it can get.
2-Base on the first question, the OTA i recevied is Official also or other variant (no-official, Fan-build) ?
Any OTA downloaded version will be the next stable released version based on the above answer.
3-As i have a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader, the OTA can be installed on my phone or it will brick my phone ?
You will not brick your phone by using OTA notified updates. I would remind you to use a pattern screen lock currently as the pin or password versions may not work with your twrp version. It won't hurt if you try but as it won't decrypt your ROM, you can't update, so just reboot system and change screen lock to pattern and try again.
4-If answer to question 3 is yes(OTA Installed), am i loosing the TWRP or not ? (Important question)
As long as you stay on EU ROMs, your twrp will remain. If you change branch to Chinese stock, it will be removed. But you would have to do this manually, so you would know. Your OTA updates will remain EU.
5-If answer to 3 is No, how can go get OTA updated ? (maybe flashing a full rom will be a solution, this will make me loosing all data ? and TWRP also ? )
If you flash the same branch ROM manually, you need to just wipe dalvik and cache. However if you decide to go to weekly, beta, branch ROMs or back to stock Chinese, you would then need to Format due to possible partition differences between them. If you don't, it may boot loop.
Last one 6-which are official/Stable roms available for the Mi 10 ULTRA beside chinese orignal one ?
Currently only one custom ROM is available and that it EU versions, either stable or weekly, beta. There was another available but that was based on the EU ROM but more like an ASOP ROM. However, it looks like further development has now stopped.
Thanks a lot for your prompt answer, very clear.
So basically the branch rom MIUI by Xiaomi.eu has it own OTA system, which gonna update to the new MIUI by Xiaomi.eu and keep my TWRP as before (just need to decrypt rom when installing) ?
I saw that you have also a Xiaomi 10 Ultra, which rom are you using by the way ?
thanks again for your time
Yes, that's right, its own OTA will keep it on the same branch using twrp.
I use the EU weekly or beta branch of ROM. I've never had any show stoppers in the updates and obviously got A11 earlier and miui12.5 too. It's taken from the Wednesday Chinese nightly each week, converted to EU format and ready normally by Friday and for OTA on Saturday evening. Due to in house testing and Chinese holidays, it sometimes doesn't update every week but not far off.
If you decide to change to weekly, then you will need to format once flashed but after that and as long as you stay on it, just dalvik and cache wipes after each update. Again, please remember that twrp may not be able to decrypt the phone for updating unless you use a pattern screen lock.
Enjoy your phone, I came from. Huawei P40 pro plus due to Google issues and use at work but this phone is pretty much as good, if not better. Lots of people here and over at the Xiaomi EU forums to answer any questions.
thanks a lot, very kind from. Just updated to OTA android 11 Miui 12.1.1.
(My TWRP decrypt both ways : Pin and Pattern, i tried both)
Was hoping to get P40 Pro also, but as they dont provide bootloader unlock anymore so i get the Ultra which is way better until now.
cheers
