Cannot update from OTANXT-L29

Hi everyone,
I hace bought a international version of mate 8 form a friend who went europe. I have the NXT-L29C185B103 firmware. In Türkiye we have to register our imei to passport, but sometimes people copy imei's of other devices. My device has first imei of a benq a70 and a second imei of Nokia 5210 Can this be the reason for OTA update not working? Has anyone got the update from OTA?

Hi, I haven't received the OTA update either so I installed the update found on these forums and it's working well. I've seen databases list imei numbers before that appear to being to older phones. I don't think that would stop you getting the update.

Try also with Chinese ROMs.
There is a possibility that having those non-original IMEIs you will never be able to update or flash: but why the IMEIs have been changed?

The original IMEI's were not registered. In Türkiye, if you bring a phone from outside, you have to register it to your passport. Some people bring phones in their pockets to sell without the registration. If you can find someone to register you can. Or you can copy old phones IMEI numbers to trick the registry. I bought this Mate 8 this way.

So you don't even know which were your 2 original IMEIs? Do you have the original Mate 8 box?
Do you know how these "old" IMEIs were inputted into your Mate 8? Maybe this operation corrupted some critical configurations...
Anyway, please remember that changing the original IMEI is not a legal activity and this subject and related involvements might not be appreciated by the moderators.

A few questions

Hey guys! So I have a few questions about the oneplus one here, I'm checking for a friend and I always had a nexus where matching firmware doesn't really matter much. So here they are.
1) What happens if you have the wrong firmware for a rom? Softbrick? Hardbrick? Nothing at all?
2) For a Nougat rom, what firmware do you use? Since this phone hasn't got an official firmware update for Nougat yet.
3) Is there a special recovery here on XDA that can flash all roms? (there was one for the oneplus two) or is TWRP good for all roms?
What confuses me the most about oneplus devices is how the firmware works different from most Android devices. Thanks guys!

Thanks! So it's not as important as it seems? I notice some roms here on XDA specifically say to have the newest firmware, or a certain version. The rom is still expected to boot? And what's the worst case scenario? A soft brick that can be easily fixed with TWRP or something worse? Thanks for the reply! Like I said, I'm coming from a Nexus 6 where none of this firmware stuff really applies :angel:

Yes the rom is a still expected to boot,though,the recommended frimware is to be used so as to avoid any bugs.
However,some roms do require the recommended frimware in order to boot but I don't think even if flash any rom which needs recommended frimware will take you in any kind of brick condition as when you flash a rom on incompatible frimware you'll see error in Twrp,if so happens you just need to have recommended frimware in your storage and flash it then flash the rom again and you'll not face any errors.
Good luck!

1. If you are using TWRP, nothing will happens. Because when you flash a ROM, TWRP will comparing your phone model with build.prop on the targeted ROM. Because based on my experience, somehow i download LineageOS for d802 and flash it to my bacon. TWRP gives an error and didn't flash any firmware. I don't know about CWM or other recovery
2. I'm using Lineage OS. It's pretty good so far. No bug or whatever
3. TWRP is good for all ROM. i think any recovery will do

Android Security Patches and Downgrading the ROM

II have posted a question regarding Google's FRP on the LG K8 M200n (2017) in the correct forum:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k8/help/lg-k8-m200n-2017-frp-bypass-t3889757
I'm just spitballing here but I was wondering if an OS downgrade removes the installed Security Patch and reverts it back to a previous one or if the security patch is a permanent thing?
If it's removable I am wondering whether downgrading the K8 in the thread linked above would resolve the issues I am experiencing.
Cheers

If you're looking for a solutuon to FRP, that is actually not supposed to be discussed here at XDA, it's against the rules because that kind of information could be used by the wrong people for the wrong purposes.

OK, that's fine. I understand that but that doesn't answer this question. Is it possible to downgrade a device and remove the most recent Android Security Patch?

If the downgrade does not have those security patches or the same bootloader as what is currently on the device, they won't be there after you flash the downgrade, nothing should be there from before. Flashing firmware using the firmware flash tool designed for your device is virtually the same as wiping and reinstalling Windows, but it has to be a complete firmware downgrade, as in, nothing the same as the newer firmware.

[Help needed][OPPO Find X2 Pro] Firmware Downgrade on CPH2025

Guys, I need your help, please.
I bought an Oppo Find X2 Pro, unfortunately the device has a Vodavone Provider Firmware (CPH2025VF_11_A.20) installed, which I would like to change to the current global firmware (CPH2025_11_A.15).
Can I simply flash the CPH2025_11_A.15 firmware over the CPH2025VF_11_A.20 without unlocking the boot loader?
How exactly do I have to proceed?
Any help is warmly welcome!
regards

Where did you buy it with branded firmware?
You can try this firmware (currently the latest available)
https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Find+X2+Pro
Download it to your device's internal memory (download folder, for example) then power off. Power+vol down button until the device boot into recovery mode (or whatever is it called) choose install firmware, locate the downloaded folder. Don't worry, if your device is locked to Vodafone (not sure if possible) then you won't be able to install it.

Sorry mate- no: a Firmware downgrade isnt possible with hunhool´s solution.
We have to find another way to get rid off that damn bloaty provider firmware.
I also wonder if the debranding might cause problems with volte and wificalling?
Can anyone comment on this? :good:

You could try to make a VPN to Switzerland and check if you get the A.22 by OTA. Don't think so but it's worth a try.
