In theory, this guide will work on every variant of Nokia 6, but you can only use CN Variant ROM.
Update: Until Jan 25th 2019, D1C-612H-0-00CN-B03 (Feb 2019 Update) was the latest release of Nokia 6 2017.
I strongly recommend you to unlock the bootloader before proceed - I won't tell how to unlock the bootloader in this guide.

In this guide, I'll provide two different methods to get Android Pie on your Nokia 6.
Both methods will erase your userdata.
Here's an important hint: Nokia 5 (ND1) and Nokia 6 (D1C or PLE) can flash each other's stock firmware, including TA-1000 Chinese firmware.
If you're eager to experience Global Android Pie on your Nokia 6, you can read this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-5/how-to/guide-how-to-install-android-pie-build-t3883901
Method 1: Use OST LA to flash my homebrew firmware
You should be familiar with this method.
1. Download "D1C-612H-0-00CN-B03_Homebrew.7z" from following site:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288043
https://tpedutw-my.sharepoint.com/:...pv2wmqCvD1EqhzLLjvjkQYBULIyM5Yu1SIKp-b-sEdzKQ
Note: If you can't extract it correctly, please use 7-Zip ZStandard (not Original 7-Zip) to extract.
Chinese users can download it from Baidu Netdisk instead
中国用户可以从百度网盘下载

2. If you have Android 8.x running with LOCKED bootloader, please downgrade bootloader back before processing. If you have unlocked bootloader, you needn't to downgrade the bootloader.
If you're not using TA-1000, you need to change SKUID to 600CN by following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/guide-how-to-change-skuid-to-worldwide-t3808520
3. Open OST LA or NOST and load the mlf file, in download options, only choose "Normal Download" and "Erase userdata".
If your phone boots suddenly when flashing splash, close OST LA and force power off your phone then flash again.
You can download NOST from https://github.com/StollD/NOST
4. All done, enjoy Android Pie.
Method 2: Force OTA Update
1. Download the package "D1C-612H-0-00CN-B03-update.zip" from here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288069
Or this for Global Android Pie, rename it to "D1C-612H-0-00WW-B03-update.zip":
https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../97a575ee1c9f1500856dcd94e1b6292998aa78c9.zip
2. If you're not using TA-1000 or 1003, rename the package to PLE-612H-0-00WW-B03-update.zip
3. Skip this step if you're using TA-1000.
Non TA-1000 users need to change SKUID to 600CN by following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/guide-how-to-change-skuid-to-worldwide-t3808520
4. Place the package to root directory of internal storage.
5. Dial *#*#874#*#* to update.
6. After update installed, it will may tell you "Encryption failed", click "Factory Reset".
7. Enjoy Android Pie.
FAQ:
Q1: Can I root it?
A1: Yes, but you must have unlocked bootloader, and TWRP is unusable. Also, Magisk 18 is unusable.
Q2: How to downgrade bootloader in case I want to roll back without unlocked bootloader?
A2: Rename existing Android 8.0 OTA package for your model to D1C-9999-0-00CN-B09-update.zip. Then you should know what to do next.
Android 8.0 for TA-1000 DL: https://ota-filesite.c2dms.com/SWImage/500000772 (DO NOT USE IT ON NON TA-1000! )
Q3: My language is unavailable!
A3: Please follow this guide: https://hikaricalyx.com/2018/09/21/how-to-change-your-nokia-phone-language-to-japanese-or-korean/
Q4: Where is Google Play Store?
A4: You need to download Play Store APK manually from websites like Apkpure and install it manually.

You need to enter the recovery and do a factory reset.

It is not necessary to unlock the bootloader and the room still works normally, but you have to unlock to edit your global variant into Chinese variant, and also unnecessary, and you can bypass it and force it to update. via OTA but you have to rename the update package as instructed.

HWOTA won't work with OREO, so we need to rollback manually with ADB.
this guide (more like just code memo) is for people who didn't backuped before update,
or can't go back to B183 directly by any reason (like dead capacitive keys).
What You Need to Read
[STF-L09C432] How to install Oreo on your H9
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/stf-l09c432-how-to-install-oreo-h9-t3707729
[GUIDE][REBRAND] Honor 9 [ANY REGION]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/guide-honor-9-t3653719/post75439859#post75439859
What You Need to Download
HWOTA (Windows tool)
Firmware Finder (Windows tool)
ADB and Fastboot (Windows tool)
C432B120 Firmware File
Stock NoCheck Oreo Recovery
What You Need to Have
unlocked bootloader and superuser, ADB.
adb push won't work, so you will need microSD card.
exFAT may not work on some ROMs (like Treble AOSP 8.0), so format it to FAT32.
What You Need to Do
1.
download B432C120 from Windows Version Firmware Finder and rename it (check [REBRAND] Honor 9 Thread).
why B120? bcuz it's the only firmware that leave capacitive keys and flashlights alive.
put them into microSD card root, with NoCheck Oreo Recovery .img (check How to install Oreo Thread).
insert microSD card to your phone and connect the phone to your PC and open ADB.
first of all,
Code:
adb shell
su
let's change recovery with NoCheck one first.
Code:
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/erecovery_ramdisk
note that 'sdcard1' maybe different, like 'E1F2-A123', base on your ROM. It's your sdcard's name.
We'll put Firmware into recovery cache and make stock recovery to flash it.
Code:
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_data_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_all_hw.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
note that 'sdcard' is not 'sdcard1', so you don't have to change it to sth like E6F3-A496.
your phone will reboot 2, 3 times and will suggest low level format and download new firmware.
now go to fastboot and unlock the bootloader.
this will do low level format.
2.
now your phone is something like EMUI 8.0 Android 7.0, with broken build number.
do HWOTA (no need to do rebrand, just do firmware flash with update option) with C432B120 we downloaded before.
This will make your phone Stock C432B120.
3.
Let's Go back to B183, the newest Nougat ROM.
download Firmware Finder for Huawei app at Play Store.
choose C432B183 and update it with proxy.
maybe you got 'yet approved' error,
but there are quite numerous C432B183 so check every single one of it.
There is one that is flash-able.
4.
TADA, now you rollbacked your phone.
I think you can also rollback with Hisuite on PC, I did a few times to rollback from beta.
I don't like your guide because :
-You're flashing a B120 firmware which is not to rollback from oreo when there is already a B183 oreo's rollback available for this on FF.
-You have to flash it 2 times to fix your build version issue (maybe because it's not a rollback firmware).
Please note that your step 1 & 2 are the same, you just did hwota manually on step 1.
-You then updated from B120 to B150 when you could have directly updated to B183 not for oreo's rollback on FF.
Sorry.

1. isn't that rollback for beta B321 and disables capacitive keys and Flash lights with B360a?
2. that's the point of this guide, since HWOTA is not properly working with oreo. you can just change the strings inside the hwota.sh if you want to.
3. no you can't jump to B183 directly from B120, shows approve error. any other firmware except B150 shows the error, same to B183 from B150.
Thx for the opinions though.

Nope, it's a rollback from oreo B3xx.
It's still has to be tested if rolling back from B3xx to B183 mess with capacitives keys.

Sorry but you are wrong : by using FF on B120, I can guarantee you that YOU CAN update to approved B183 using the full ota update ( the B183 one that is not to rollback).

I found out that We do can OTA to B183 directly, so I changed the GUIDE + some minor change.
2. now your phone is something like EMUI 8.0 Android 7.0, with broken build number. d
I didn't get this point. i mean with hwota (link you put in) we have just 2 options. update and rebrand. we have no choice for just flashing. sorry for my bad understanding.

do update.
which version of B183 are we supposed to take? I choose the last one: 116404
but I'm not sure it's the correct one. (changelog tell it's a rollback firmware)
seems the good one is the 111176 (changelog is not about rollback)
Don't follow this outdated OP and thread which were never right in the first place.
For rollback use HiSuite or HuRUpdater.
Hi all,
Based on the recent Android O OTA Package, I made the Nokia 6 TA-1000 firmware that can be flashed with OST LA 6.0.4.
UPDATE: I'm testing the homebrew "Stock" firmware for Nokia 6 TA-1021(Codename PLE).
YOU MUST USE OST LA 6.0.4 IN ORDER TO FLASH THIS FIRMWARE TO YOUR NOKIA 6 TA-1000
OST LA 6.1.2 REQUIRES EXTRA AUTHENTICATION
However, this firmware preserves the old service bootloader from Nougat which made recovery porting and downgrading possible.
I strongly recommend everyone who still want to root your Nokia 6 on Android O to flash this firmware first.
However you needn't to flash this firmware if you've unlocked the bootloader.
If you've already updated to Oreo, here's the bootloader downgrading procedure: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-5/how-to/guide-how-to-downgrade-official-oreo-to-t3746007
December 2017 OTA DL: https://ota-filesite.c2dms.com/SWUpdate/500000748
After get stucked in recovery, just flash the firmware I provided.
You can receive further update from this firmware, but the bootloader will always get patched. You know, DON'T INSTALL ANY FURTHER OTA UPDATE.
https://mega.nz/#F!K1k0gC5C!xpw3-AQvSQJ5p6VWX19gpA
If you can't see any file, that probably means I'm still uploading.
The homebrew "Stock" FW is not a nb0 file. You can just load the mlf file with OST LA and do the same procedure.
DO BACKUP BEFORE UPGRADING OR DOWNGRADING, BECAUSE THE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM IS DIFFERENT BETWEEN NOUGAT AND OREO
If you get stucked on logo, you can flash TWRP recovery and format data partition on recovery.

me too, on ta-1021. I will now try flashing the IMG files instead
Flashing with IMG / IMG.ext4 files worked. @hikari_calyx your mod works great on my TA-1021 with only one problem: the SIM card does not get recognized until I reboot to the recovery, wipe dalvik and choose reboot to system. That happens every time after the device gets shut down. So maybe something is wrong with the hardware init?
EDIT: you don't need to clear dalvik or cache, rebooting to recovery and from there rebooting to system again fixes the SIM issue
To fix the File not found issue, rename the following filenames:
D1C-0-522A-00WW-boot.img to PLE-0-522A-00WW-boot.img
D1C-0-522A-00WW-recovery.img to PLE-0-522A-00WW-recovery.img

Prerequisites:
- OST LA 6.0.4
- December 2017 Patch applied, as @hikari_calyx wrote
- the recovery provided by hikari_calyx in his MEGA Link
- the TA-1021 Firmware provided by hikari_calyx (I used B01, there could be more in the future)
0. check for December patch applied (if you are on another build than Dec your phone will not boot after this), unzip the 7-zip archive. Rename the following files:
D1C-0-522A-00WW-boot.img to PLE-0-522A-00WW-boot.img
D1C-0-522A-00WW-recovery.img to PLE-0-522A-00WW-recovery.img
D1C-0-522A-00WW-system.img to PLE-0-522A-00WW-system.img (thanks to @nicholasng99)
and turn off you phone
start OST from the installation path (patch it first if needed) and click on, load the mlf file from the 7zip archive
click on "Edit phone information" and wait for the error message and click next.
After this, your phone has the Oreo image installed - now to rooting:
if you have unlocked your Bootloader: reboot to bootloader(for example: adb reboot bootloader)
if you have no unlocked Bootloader: fire up OST again and load a firmware file (nb0 or mlf) and click on "Edit phone information" after you turned off your phone
go to the OST installation path, hold shift and right-click into Explorer, now choose to open cmd / Powershell there.
execute fastboot-android flash recovery C:\path\to\recovery\by\7to\that\you \downloaded\filename.img
type fastboot reboot BUT DO NOT EXECUTE IT YET, hold down power and vol+, press Enter now
you should see a rabbit head, Chinese text and TWRP now
Optional: click on the cogwheel to open the settings and choose English as language if your Chinese is as good as mine (Spoiler: i don't speak Chinese)
Press on Advanced (three dots) and choose Rooting with Magisk
now you only have to reboot to system and it should work!
I hope I could help

[GUIDE] How to root your AB partition scheme based Nokia Android Devices
This guide should work on following models:
Nokia 6.1 or Nokia 6 (2018)
Nokia X6 (2018)
Nokia 7
Nokia 7 Plus
Nokia 8
Nokia 8 Sirocco
Step 1: Unlock the bootloader
Original unlock thread closed
Step 2: Install Magisk Manager
You can download it from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
中国用户可从酷安下载 Magisk Manager
Chinese users can download it from Coolapk instead
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 3: Patch stock boot from current or close version
Skip this step if you have already patched boot image.
You should know how to patch by reading Magisk Official Release Notes.
Step 4: Load specific patched boot from fastboot mode
For Nokia 6.1/6 (2018), X6, 7, 7 Plus and Sharp Aquos S2:
Android 7.1: C1N-0430-boot-patched.img
Android 8.0: C1N-134E-boot-patched.img
Android 8.1: B2N-222A-boot-patched.img
Android Pie: B2N-322C-boot-patched.img
In fact the kernel between these models are compatible to each other.
For Nokia 8:
Android 7.1: NB1-303A-boot-patched.img
Android 8.0: NB1-435J-boot-patched.img
Android 8.1: NB1-484A-boot-patched.img
Take the Nokia 7 Plus with B2N-222A-boot-patched.img for example.
Enter fastboot/download mode, you should be familiar with it if you've unlocked the bootloader.
Type following commands with your own fastboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot boot D:\B2N-222A-boot-patched.img
WARNING: DO NOT FLASH boot or this will overwrite the stock boot and may not recoverable.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're using these commands in OST LA installation directory, use "fastboot-android" instead of "fastboot".
After that, your phone will boot and have root privileges temporarily.
You can check if Magisk Manager indicates "√ Installed Version: 16.0".
Step 5: Reinstall Magisk as module
Your phone may not be able to connect to Wi-Fi, which is normal.
Copy the latest Magisk zip to the phone, I recommend you to copy it to "Download" directory.
Then add the Magisk zip as module. The phone will patch the boot image with Magisk.
Reboot your phone when finished.
After that, your phone will be rooted perfectly.
If you want to install Xposed Framework, you must use this version (Including Framework and Installer) unless you want to break OTA:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
Android 7.1 - sdk25
Android 8.0 - sdk26
Android 8.1 - sdk27
Android P - sdk28 but unreleased yet
Step 6: Install OTA Update (Optional)
If you want to install latest OTA update, you must restore the boot image.
Open Magisk Manager, tap "Uninstall" - "Restore Stock Boot". After the phone displays "Successfully restored", you should be able to install OTA update with no problem.
After OTA update installed, do Step 4 and 5 again.

There have to be another method than to buy the possibilty to unlock your bootloader.
This is really making me angry....
Don't get me wrong... I don't criticize your post! It is even very important to post and share everything about the 7+, especially in relation to unlocking the bootloader and rooting your devive, so that custom development can begin finally.
To pay for unlocking your bootloader (and that even so awkward) is absolutely wrong in my opinion and I will definitely not support it... no matter how much I wish to unlock the bootloader.
But many thanks for sharing and explaining. I hope HMD will offer an official way for unlocking the bootloader very soon, or someone will find a more user-friendly way to do that.

I can understand your feeling.
What I'm doing is making as much pressure as we can to HMD Global in order to make the phone unlockable officially.
Once I achieved that, you needn't to pay for unlock key.

We should ask HMD to pay us the SETools credits... Maybe that's easier to do for them.

Working up until i try to reboot in Step 5 and then hangs on android one screen and then eventually gets to NOKIA splash screen but hangs forever (at least 10 mins and nothing).
Thoughts?

Isnt Android one's prime moto is to being as close as pixel device then why did hmd locked the bootloader
Tried lots of times and every time i get to Step 5 and installing Magisk as a module it just hangs on Nokia screen when it reboots.
Only way back into phone is to get to download mode and 'fastboot boot D:\B2N-222A-boot-patched.img' and then it gets me back.
Help!

Every phone's bootloader is locked from factory. Most manufacturers offer a possibility to unlock the bootloader, the methods vary.
At the moment, however, there seems to be several manufacturers who do not offer this possibility anymore (e.g. Huawei / Honor).
When I talked with Nokia Phones Support and asked why there's no official method to unlock the N7+ bootloader, they told me that's because of warrenty and security. But everyone who unlocks their bootloader knows about those risks, so the real reason is...
...a big secret that probably will never be revealed...
...or it's just a whim of the manufacturer.

Since official stock firmwares of Nokia X6 are not available yet, I cannot generate boot_patched.img with Magisk Manager.
Currently, I cannot root my Nokia X6, is it correct ?
Even after correctly restoring stock boot.img I'm unable to update to July patch ( I did the restore from magisk as written in the first post ).
Tried via normal update via OS but it's giving me "Couldn't update - Installation problem".
I took the zip from data and tried from recovery both via sideload and sdcard method. In this case the error is the one attached.
Tried to download it more than once too, no luck..
If someone would have any suggestion it would be helpful.
Edit: system and vendor partition were modified ( don't know how )
I update to july patch but nokia 6x patched boot is not booting anymore.
okay, i tried both the drg and the b2n 8.1 boot images, none of them works. how on earth do i extract my own boot img? so that i can patch it with magisk? i get stuck on the nokia logo every time i try. i have to manually reboot the phone to get it working again. i'm on july security update and ta-1055 version.

try it. it won't hurt. if you can't boot it, simply press and hold volume up + power until phone reboots and you're back to original boot. you need to have unlocked bootloader and make sure you are just booting from the image and you are not flashing it!

Nokia 6 Android 7.1.1 China verision Can?
Thanks man, it worked like a charm! I own the Nokia 6 Arte Black Edition (special edition on release) and it worked great without issues. It also fixed my problem with radio band inside this code settings: #*#*4636*#*#
A bit of advice: Guys, don't change the radio band because it will mess with the signal. For my case, I could use the 4G internet but couldn't make or receive calls/SMS , in other cases you can't have signal at all.

Unfortunately you're out of luck. There's no current way to downgrade this device from Android 12.
If you guys are not able to access bootloader on amdroid 12 or android 13 ..Follow my guides it works 100% since i have unlocked bootloader and rooted too by magisk
first step
If you are on android 12 then update to android 13 which has been rooled out
OR
If you are on android 13 follow my next step
*NOTE : One who is facing fastboot issue to unlock bootloader or rooting on android 12 and 13 they must have to be on android 13 so try updating your phone by following First step
Second Step
If you have done updating to android 13 then download this android 11 downgrade file..
https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/oplus_ota_downgrade_Rollback.zip
once you have done downloading , paste on internal storage not in any folder .
Remove _rolback from file name if you face verification failed in next step .
Now install it from local install by going to about phone
Now install it And your phone will be downgrading to android 11 which will wipe your all data
Third step
Once downgraded setup your phone and off system update from developer option
*Now you can access bootloader and root you phone by magisk ..No need to install twrp for rooting .
This method can be applied to all OnePlus mediatek device which has same issue
*If you want to root from magisk or unlock bootloader dm me [email protected]
