PSA. For those that rolled back to 9.1 - Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion

Just an FYI, for those like myself that rolled back to EMUI 9.1 from beta 10. You won't be getting any security patches or updates anymore for 9.1
Major bummer if one intends to stay on 9.1 until 10 is official., got this information from official Huawei global support forums.

Hey @Limeybastard,
do you know if this rollback is feasible once FRP was set? https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/rollback-emui-10-to-9-to-bypass-frp-t4044711

Downgrade from Android 7 to 6

Hi.
I got an official nougat update today but I definitely don't like new emui 5.0 and want to go back to previous version.
Is there any way to do it (I prefer official solutions).

EMUI 5.1 OTA Update

Did any one get EMUI 5.1 OTA update? Or when will we get EMUI 5.1 update by OTA?

Problem with FRD-L14! *App not responding*

I'm having an issue with my FRD-L14!
I encountered a problem a couple weeks ago when my phone died of low battery. Once I charged it and turned it back on, all of a suddenly all of my apps were unresponsive. And when I say all of the apps, I mean ALL of the apps. I began receiving notifications of the apps that weren't responding and it was asking me to wait or close app. I tried both and had no outcome. I restarted the phone a few times thinking maybe it was a bad boot.. Nothing. Finally, I did a factory reset and everything began working fine.. Until I decided to turn my phone off again (This was the last time my phone had been turned completely off since the factory reset) and the issue arose again. All of my apps are not responsive. Sometimes I cannot even get into settings. I also do not receive any calls/texts during this time either.
I am NOT rooted and I do not have an unlocked bootloader. Completely stock.
Please Help!
Sounds weird...maybe you can try reflashing the firmware? What version are you using? Nougat or Marahmallow?

Nougat.. Everything I have is stock and updated to the latest firmware.
Okay, in that case i would have made a rollback to marshmallow first, then flashing the full marshmallow firmware (latest avaible on honor site) and finally update again to nougat with OTA.
I think it's the best thing you can do

Oh don't worry . However i forgot to ask, but for me a rollback and a reflash would make it i think. What do you think could be?

That's what I also think. That's why I asked him which version/build number of EMUI 5 he is currently so I can link the correct files if neccessary.

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to try it yet. As soon as I do, I'll let the thread know. Hopefully a rollback and then a fresh OTA update will make it work again.

UPDATE!
After a rollback and OTA update back to Nougat using Proxy Firmware Finder, everything is working fine.
The only thing I've noticed is that my build number is "NRD90M test-keys". I'm not sure if this will affect any future OTA updates or not. It was very difficult to find a full update package for the FRD-L14 version. The model number still reflects FRD-L14 though.
Side note: I think the entire cause of the problem was I did the trick from the link below. It worked and I had been using it for a long time. In the comments of that thread, I've noticed others having the issue after reboot as well... Must be a Huawei thing.

Do I Wait For 8.0 on ? FRD-L14

My other device is out of order right now so I switched back to my old Honor 8.
When I did I received 2 updates.
But still did not get 8.0 is it something you a to do manually?
If the L14 is an American model then you won't get it. It's not out. Otherwise, you'll need to update via hisuite for the official way

Does using the hisuite to update it erase everything on the Honor 8 ?

Yes. Anytime you update to a new Android version a factory reset is mandatory

You can make a backup by using Huawei's own Backup app.

Does anybody know if the American model is still going to get 8.0? This is just sad now.

Personally I gave up on waiting and flashed the unofficial frimware from FF. I'm more than happy with stock Oreo, it's smooth and battery life is amazing (you can tweak each application with more settings than in Nougat). Right now I'll stay on stock but I know I have custom ROM if I get tired of it which is also rly nice

I thought I would get the official updates so I never got the free unlock bootloader code. This sucks since I paid cash for this at Best Buy
I'm on Oreo B560 for the L14. Can I relock the bootloader using fastboot so that I can use Google pay or will this brick my phone? I don't really use root apps. Other than that Oreo works great.

Yes need to wait, I hope this will be fixed.
Yesterday I was planning to post:
I find it still hard to understand all the updates from Oppo.
I had CPH2025VF_11_A.26 with 5 may security
then i went downgrade CPH2025VF_11_A.23 with june patch
Now i miss some features like filming with wide angle and smart power save...
any idea if i can undo the damage?

But I guess here I have my answer. I'm new to oppo and as far is I can see there are more frequent updates so far than when I had samsung.
Just wondering why though, must be a bug inside the module that checks whether there's a newer version or just poor administration on their side?

I emailed Oppo Service and they told me that I have to send it to a oppo service they will update it for me, I ask them if they just send me the software version so I can do it by myself, I know how to do it.
I will wait for an answer.

I haven't installed Android 11 though, so I haven't installed any rollback files either. I got 2 OTA updates right out of the box on launch day and that's all I've ever had.

Type in on Google, coloros/roms.
And select india or some country that has June update, or you can try using a VPN to Italy and get the July update, but vpns don't do nothing for me
Let me no if the VPN to Italy works for you

Gotcha, thanks. Don't want to mess with downloading OTAs from different regions as I use my phone for work so don't want it to be messed up.
But yeah, VPNs don't work for me either [emoji17]

I'm on a.25 as well and nothing for me, some people who didn't install the beta still can't get updates maybe we just have to wait longer than others, I don't no why they just can't roll it out to everyone at the same time as we use the same phones
