[Rom][NXH20B] Huawei Watch 2 BT LEO-B09/LEO-BX9 Global Fastboot [Factory Images]

Finally The wait is over
For all of you outside waiting for Global Firmware ROM... here it is:
I have tried it in a LEO-BX9 working flawless... last version received with chinese firmware by OTA was NXH19R
As previously done text is copied from giangishanghai as most are applicable. Thanks @giangishanghai for all the help and the patience :angel
- Make sure you have ADB activated on watch and all files needed on your pc (there are plenty of guides on xda so please search and read it if needed).
- Download 7z file from here : https://mega.nz/#!ozB12QrD
Decription Key
!U6_ZwGwPNUNj3P0PCfpsDtVoGpPG_x1csvR8I1ECOqU
-Edit: You will find 6 .img files:
bootloader, boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata.
-EDIT: In this link you will find whole Recovery software and images if needed:
https://mega.nz/#!YiZkjKyR
Decription Key
!vlUDAZz3mEJsSOpKYgbX5YaITUN59uL3YaVRSOtpVcU
-Edit: Before going to Bootloader, make sure ADB is working and your watch is recognized properly:
Run
Code:
adb devices
Result should be your Watch ID and the word "device" (unathorized or anything else will not work, when unathorized appears make sure to check your Watch for a prompt to authorize something, as it is in Chinese, choose the option with more characters - third one as I remember-)
-Boot the watch into bootloader mode
shut down the watch, press the power button and quickly press twice when the first vibration finished.
-Use the following commands one by one:
(DO NOT flash the bootloader.img)
IMPORTANT!!!: Make sure to run ALL commands below, from the ADB folder, where you have to previously copied all 6 *.IMG files, otherwise you will receive a lot of errors.
For Example if your ADB folder is in C:\adb, the command prompt should be in "C:\adb" so you make a DOS dir command and you see all 6 *.img files plus some ADB files
Then start with following commands one by one in exact order....
fastboot oem unlock (no needed if you already unlock your watch)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
DONE!!
EDIT: ****PLEASE READ IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY TOUCH ISSUES******Thanks @mcdull
I were able to flash the rom without any issues. HOWEVER...
Originally I suggested NOT to temper with the bootloader so that we can keep the very low level of the device untouched to prevent hard bricking.
But I experienced inaccurate touch screen after applying the ROM. And then I finally convinced myself to flash the bootloader to see if it can fix it.
It is now confirmed that flashing the bootloader will NOT change the model number. So the device model is determined by its hardware. And I can check the FCC of Leo-bx9 in official website, so there must be somewhere in the world selling this BX9 with global rom.
What's more important is that the touch screen is now working perfectly. All part of the screen is now touchable and accurate.
All in all, if you have any touch issue, you may be able to resolve it by flashing the bootloader. Bare in mind that Huawei can be told that you have tempered the bootloader if they dig deep. But I am prepared to give up the warranty for a Global Rom.

After all this steps your watch reboot and the first thing you will see is a message in English, then you can choose the language you want.
Please don't forget to say thanks and also to @giangishanghai who was really really helpful on remote assistance and also @mcdull who was always promptly replying to help the community

Thx all you guys

Will try this out today
I have a LEO-BX9 currently running the Chinese ROM version. I've downloaded the new files. I will try this out later today and post my results as well.
A real huge thanks for getting the ROM and posting the steps. I've been following the forum for a month and it's impressive to see how you guys kept at it until you reached the finish line! Keep up the good work bro's! @giangishanghai and @dr_chch - You guys rock!
Edit: Works flawlessly! Just follow the instructions to the letter. Shiny new English ROM purring like a kitten!

Big thanks, I have the chinese LEO-BX9, works perfectly. the installation only takes less than 2-3 mins.

I'm trying to do this, but my Huawei Watch 2 is being recognized as a MTP device and wont appear under the device list when I type "abd devices". How do I fix this? Thanks.
---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
So, somehow I made it work. But I didn't do the commands properly and now the watch seems to be bricked. Is there any way I can bring it back into fastboot mode so I can flash the image correctly?
---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------
Managed to get into fastboot and it seems to work fine. Thank you

What is the difference between this and stock?

[Rom][NWD1.170711.002] Huawei Watch 2 BT LEO-B09 Chinese Fastboot [Factory Images]
I finally have uploaded the Chinese version of the Factory Images, and here is the link:
https://www.jianguoyun.com/p/DRcrvN0Q3O-HBhjeiTQ (The file is currently under transmission by the time of this post. It should be available within hours.)
On download completion, find the .exe file in the zip archive and open it with any compressed file manager, where you will see several .img images. Flash them right onto your watch following the instructions on https://forum.xda-developers.com/wa...09-leo-bx9-t3616779/post72542838#post72542838 with ADB and FASTBOOT tools.
It works quite perfectly on my watch. Nevertheless, I am not responsible for any possible damages.
Go check it out! @dr_chch

Hi, I flash your images, everything works normally expect notify. When notify appears on phone, there is no vibrate and no sound on wear, just notify card shown silently.
My wear had global version system, but Google Map gave a wrong location, so I try China version.
I use light flow to test notify. When I open option "silence phone while wearing watch", phone doesn't sound too but still vibrate. If I close this option, phone sound and vibrate. But watch always doesn't action.

I tried the international image on a LEO-DLXX, works fine, but without the SIM capabilities (4G, calls and etc), and during the boot there is a message about being using a different operating system. I suppose you'd get the same with the Chinese version.

Bricked my Vivo Nex S

Hi everybody,
Yesterday I was using my beloved(!) Vivo Nex S (Chinese 256GB version, no root, removed some bloatware some months ago, Nova launcher, rest original) in a normal way, put it away and wanted to use it again about 1 minute later again. When I tried to access the fingerprint reader, I recognized, that the fingerprint reader didn't get green when approaching my finger. After about 2 seconds of trying, my Nex made a reset.
I could only turn it on by pressing the power button for more than 10 seconds begining from there. Until then, I just see the Nex Logo, then the stars flying, then the Nex Logo again. It changes colors, again and again, and after about 2 minutes it shuts down and vibrates twice.
Starting the phone while pressing down the volume up button at the same time, brings me to the chinese Fastboot mode menu. I've the desicion between reboot (no other effect than described above) and Recovery. Chosing recovery, it shows the Vivo Logo again and after about 2 seconds "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot. Visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH". After 30 seconds it shuts down. No access to the recovery menu!
I contacted the (Indian) chat from Vivo support. The Vivo support doesn't want to be responsible, because I bought my phone in China. Sending it back would probably mean, that I definitely lose my data and that it will take a long time until it's back.
So I tried to get access over USB. I can see "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E" [SIC, it's NOT 9008!] on COM7. I then tried to get access using ADB, where I'm really unfamiliar with. Didn't get any connection. So I tried QFIL, where I could see my phone in the top line of the program, but didn't get any access. (Neither I'm a pro there...)
So, now my biggest hope at the moment: Is there a possibility to get access to my phone using ASTool? I read about it, that it should be a great helper in such problems, and that there could be some hope, that I could even save my data by just flashing some "sectors" of the original system. But there's another problem: This software seems to be not freeware, and all the hacks around have trojans inside.
What do you think about it? Does anybody of you pros have a clue, how to get into the phone, flash a new boot there and how to save my data (about 220GB, desoldering of the memory is not (yet) an option)?
Thanks A LOT in advance to everyone!

That sucks. I don't have a solution but I'm curious as to what is taking up 220GB on your phone?
I suggest rescuing the phone first and forgetting about the data.

Well... As long as there is some free flash space, it will be used, right? There are especially 4K movies from our trip to Australia and from my construction works at home (I'm building a pretty special smart home), because the picture quality of the phone was much better than the one of the Lumix TZ81. Some of them luckily have been backuped already.
Well, I could also try to wipe the whole memory first, but I thought I could try to just flash the boot area and get back my data as well and then afterwards make a proper installation again.
But how to enter the phone now again? Any ideas? And should I try the global ROM then (would be my favourite) or just the Chinese again?
Thanks for any comments...

I can't help you unfortunately. But I know you can't flash the global rom to the Chinese version and vice versa.

The only alternative solution is find experience third-party service in your country.
Otherwise you must send it to China and local Vivo service point.
And always take backup your staff on phone to pc or external drive now you wouldn't have worry if you had taken backup.
No 1 rule owning any kind electronic devices is to have backup because you never know with electronics device they're always a chance for hardware failure.
You don't leave this thing to luck.

Yes, I read a lot about the global ROM on Chinese Vivo Nex in the according thread in the meantime. I'm even thinking in opening my phone and bridge the contacts to get into the 9008 mode forballvofbyou (and for me of course ) instead of sending it back to China. But I'm afraid that I wouldn't even recognize, if I was successful there...
And yes, of course I learned that a (recent) backup would have been nice...
Now, for the moment I plan to flash the chinese ROM first again, in order to maybe being able to savevsome of my data first. Is AFT the right way? There's some kind of a "hack" needed in order to use it, and this one seems to have a Trojan inside! Isvthere a "trojanfree" solution somewhere?
Best regards and thanks a lot for your replies!

Disable Windows defender and run the tool.
That's what I did myself when tried last summer flash global rom to Chinese version.
There's instructions and video tutorial here at Vivo Nex thread a member who upload about how to flash using AFTool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nex/how-to/rom-vivo-nex-global-rom-1-7-18-service-t3831866/page2
Post 15.
But in order to flash Chinese rom you need having the full zip file and I don't know if there's a indipended source of downloaded.
Easy firmware site has only global rom but not Chinese one last time check.
And doubt Vivo support will provide you that file you'll need in order re flashing you existing Chinese rom version.

Well, there's a Trojan in the authorisation tool in the version I got. Did you have to activate yours using this activation tool under your link, or is it usable without this activation as well?

I think, I would even need the Flashfile itself, as I'm not able to transfer the files from a ZIP-file into the internal memory anymore. And yes, you're right. Have been searching the Chinese ROM now for hours, but didn't find it anywhere... :crying:

Found the Chinese (official!) download of the ROM, just for those, who are interested:
http://sysupwrdl.vivo.com.cn/upgrad...es/PD1805_A_1.21.3-update-full_1541422501.zip
It's not even needed to have a stupid Baidu account (which is just registerable using a chinese phone number, which again is just possible to use a Russian phone number creater, which again is not so easy because most of the numbers are already bloked, which...). No, it's just a normal, direct download link!
And hey guys: This evening my Vivo Nex just started to be able to enter the Fastboot menu again!!! Why ever, but that's partial good news (for me at least).
And again for all of them, who want to have an English translation of the menu structure; Here it is !
- Reboot System
- Wipe Data
---- Clear Cache
---- Restore all settings
---- Clear all data
---- Return
- Install Update
---- Mobile phone storage
---- SD card
---- Return
- System repair mode
---- Enter system repair mode
--------- Restart
--------- Download latest version and installation (using WLAN)
--------- Shutdown
---- Cancel
- Power down
- Advanced options
---- Upgrade via USB
---- Upgrade Systems & 3rd party applications
--------- Mobile phone storage
--------- SD card
--------- Return
---- Verify system file integrity
---- Open ADB restart
---- View the upgrade log
---- Return
Some words, what I've seen on my soft bricked phone this evening:
- Wipe data -- Clear Cache: Tried this, but without any changes in behaviour
- Install Update -- Mobile phone storage: Didn't find any backup from Vivo in all the folders and subfolders on my phone. Even though, I could see the whole folder structure from my phone, so theoretically all the data are still there!
- Install Update -- SD card: Just trying this, as soon as the download of the Chinese ROM finished. Maybe with a dirty Flash I would be able to reboot?
BTW: IS THERE A WAY TO JUST FLASH SOME SINGLE FILES INSTEAD OF THE WHOLE ZIP FILE?
- System repair mode -- Download latest version and installation: A message pops up, that nearby WLANs are being searched. But after about 10 seconds it turns back to the previous menu, whithout any success.
- Advanced options -- Verify system file integrity: I get a pass here!!! Unbelievable... Don't know what's still hindering my phone to boot up just in a normal way...
- Advanced options -- Open ADB restart: Could this maybe help to enter the 9008 mode, which many of you out there are trying to reach? Don't understand this in detail, so please don't be mad about me, if this is a silly question...
Thanks for your patience with me, and hope, that some of the information could maybe also help someone of you out there...?

Yes you need to activate via username and password given on instructions.

Seems as I found an already patched version now, which also seems to be free of malware (at least on my PC, using the Windows defender):
https://mega.nz/#!zrohlSBL!5geOCXwSFHMPCACKjOqLNVF_V8t1jFvZc6FrZj63xOM
Next problem: Can I use AFTool (which is up now) to flash the Chinese ROM to my Vivo Nex again, without having the 9008 mode? And how to do it? Most videos showing solutions in the internet are about cracking the software and not how to use it afterwards...
Well, I tried to find the "fastboot_flash_all" file in my downloaded version of the firmware. But can't find it there (see below).
Because of this I tried using QFIL, but can't find the MBN file again... Boah, it's a really hard puzzle this time...

Unfortunately I can't help you further as my knowledge and only experience was when tried last summer to flash global to Chinese version but it failed and dropped any further examination and leave it as it is.
I haven't tried re flashing existing rom wearing Chinese version device using AFTOOL.
Vivo tools really sucks on those aspect and they're not helping either but just saying to anyone has problem visit Vivo official service.
All the info you can get here xda is the specific topic only provide you above.
Maybe you can try sent pm to member who gave all the information and idea of how using AFTOOL.

Dear paatha13, Thanks anyway for your support and your ideas! In the meantime I maybe "accidentially" unlocked the boatloader. Being desperate, I tried everything. Hope it didn't really happen or at least, that it won't have an influence on the warranty of the device... Yes, maybe it's just better to give up there and send it back for "Mainboard exchange", as they call it.
If you're still interested in trying to change to the global version (for me it's really in the background at the moment), maybe this "Unlocking-tool" could help you somehow. I posted the link in the according thread here:

Completely agree, it really sucks, that they aren't interested in helping in an easy way by blocking everything.
Well, thanks again, hope I'll be able to help also once. Even if it's only in a "mental supporting" way.

Question Couldn't connect to msm op9 global. /Now connecting. !

Ive uploaded signed Qualcomm driver's I found that install on windows and don't turn on test mode. These work. Then afterwards toggle USB options with device plugged in PC ,change from charging to PTP and let it automatically install drivers. Rebooted and opened msm tool and Is connecting and now showing 2 ports. Hope this works for anyone having trouble ; as earlier I had no Qualcomm driver's installed and no ports showing on msm tool after many attempts to install drivers. I'm now ready when something comes along to flash. After rebooting PC use cmd window adb reboot edl. Will then show up on msm tool as connected. When installing Qualcomm driver's choose first option Wwan is not used to get Ip address. If this works for you hit the like button "it's free". I've seen many people complaining they can't connect to msm tool. This fixed my issues. Tested on windows 10 pro
Driver's. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AOeuMj6D5f6H4yhAC1QKGN437qV9YmJs/view?usp=drivesdk

Mattie69 can you explain how to work the MSMTool to me? It wants a login and i dont understand exactly what to do.

Do these overwrite existing drivers (used for rooting), or just add additional drivers to Windows?

No additional driver's need to make Qualcomm devices/one plus phones to connect to msm tool.

You don't use the factory one use the one above or below. It's a tool that relocks bootloader and flashes device to original firmware that it was shipped with. It's an anti-brick tool so to speak.

I still cant get it to work. the driver looks to be working and MSM identifying it
but no matter what i do it wont progress. i cant adb reboot because adnb nor fastboot are responsive. the phone just disconnectes and reconnects USB over and over and thats it. no button combo of volume keys and power being held for along time seems to work either.

I finally got it functional and now at "Image does not match" tried on 3 other machines with 3 seperate MSm installs.
9 5G LE2115 is my phone I bought directly form OnePlus. Idk what to do from here.

Usually kicks up that warning if your trying to use the wrong msm tool.?

i tried this one, the one from reddits backup area and the offical one linked to me by the angriest technician alive. it just boots and reboots and reboots. no matter the cable, version, cord. port, usb standard, serial setting or any combination of drivers form signed, unsigned and official, everything always leads to that same error.
its insane. the tech said "i didnt say run that (MSM he linked me) , were not liable to what it did"
I replied with " it didnt flash anything, thats why im contacting you and its qualcomms software, youre the company official making customers download altered /unofficial builds of another companies intellectual property. Im sure theyll be so happy to find out what you are doing"
he just logged after that. The balls on that guy. They Qualcomm didnt incorporate region based logins and VM Protect into MSM because its fun.
So yeah, hopefully i fix it before qualcomm returns my my emails.

i always had fastboot access during that, i just was too stupid to extract my own img files form the paylod dumps (theres so many guides online, i just suck with it) anyhow, after you hooked me up with download i just ran the the imgs in a flash-all bat file to clean up both slots of the phone and it was wonderful. as soon as i went to the unofficial lineage my phone just gave up. 2 reboots later.
im not sure what im going to do. its been a long day and not too pleased with myself so im trying to just procrastinate it till tmw or sunday.

[HELP] Redmi 9 Hard Bricked

Hello i've flashed a custom ROM for my Redmi 9 this morning but it failed.
Now my phone doing a big f* bootloop, the recovery (TWRP) is dead and the fastboot too.
I've found a tool named SP Tool to repair the phone but the problem is when i plug my phone to my computer the phone is charging (logic) and instead showing the animation of the battery it bootloop until it runs out of battery.
So someone can help me please
Thanks
Edit: Oh i forgot, now i've realised than when i flashed the rom i've wiped the entire phone (internal storage too)
My bad...

Is your device Merlin or Lancelot? If you're not sure, what processor do you have, Qualcomm or MTK?
If it is Qualcomm, try test-point method to access EDL mode, then use Mi Flash Tool to flash MIUI on your device. Read this FAQ to learn more.
If it is MTK, then follow this guide and download the tools used in the video from here. You can find your device ROM (Lancelot) here.
Just make sure you're flashing global version if your device is global or chinese if your device is chinese.
If you're not sure what you're doing, I highly recommend sending it to a professional.
Goodluck.

Hi, my phone has the codename Lancelot with a MTK Helio G80.
I will try, thanks

Both SIM slots have no IMEI? I assume you wiped all and didn't backup?
You'll need Modem Meta and ENG ROM to fix that, you can get the ROM and the specific way to fix it from here.
If you're lost you'll find all the answers in the thread, but don't be afraid to ask there just don't ask an already asked question.
Here is a brief guide made by the same person to provide the ROM.
Goodluck.

I followed the guide in the video. But failing in the LibUSB Step. Mediathek device is not showing up. My Redmi 9 is hard bricked, just seeing a "redmi logo" bootloop. No matter if I try to boot normally, recovery or fastboot. Any Idea?

This tool installs the driver required to unbrick your device, if you can find your device specific driver to install on your PC then you can skip using this tool and install the driver manually.
If you can't find the driver, then try using a different cable when connecting the phone to the PC. Or a different port in the PC (Like the legacy 2.0 USB port in the motherboard).
The tool should first detect any device connected to install the driver it doesn't work the other way. If it still doesn't work then your only option is to find the driver manually. Or maybe you can find an updated version of the same tool or a similar tool.

Thanks for your help. Actually I got it working with a lot of try and error... not even sure which drivers worked at the end. Also I had to switch to a win 7 computer. On win 11 drivers just didnt work. But with MTK Bypass tool + SP flash Tool, I was able to flash the stock image and recover my briked phone!

Glad it worked out in the end mate.
Might be a random guess but it could be because signature protection was enabled on the win 11 PC.
Don't brick your phone again!

Hey, i can help you by sending videos that helped me to fix my problem but i've lost them.
Do you have a bootloader locked or unlocked? (here to know how)
If it's the 1st option, relax, you can modify easily
If it's the 2nd a little bit less
NB: i don't use really use this phone, just for developpment and some things than it can break the OS because it had some problems with apps and updates.
Have a great day and i hope than you have found a solution before my answer.

Is it in EDL mode?

No but I am gonna try it Tomorrow

Someone help me please? Two days ago i bricked my redmi 9 eea after update via ota. He just died, no infinite loop or charge. After a tutorial from here was able to revive him with sp flash, phyton and other stuffs. Everyting went OK and my phone is alive again. Whatever now I've getting issues that weren't there before hard brick. My redmi doesnt recognize my Sim card. I enter my pin security and then don't get any sim card signal. Also can't log on play store with my Google account, i get this message "there was a problem communicating with Google servers, try again later." Tried to wipe Google play services data, also from play store, formated redmi from recovery but the problems remains. Maybe i need to reinstall rom again, im pretty sure it was the right rom i flashed because i download it from miui official website. Unfortunately after reviving my redmi with sp flash, my bootloader got locked again. Sense i cant log with Google account because phone doesn't recognize my chip to activate data sim card, i cant either unlock with mi unlock. Is there any solution for this? Thanks.
Perhaps flashing phone with another rom the problem gets fixed. I can still flash my phone with sp flash even with bootloader blocked right? My redmi comes with a European rom. To revive him i used rom last update, maybe should try a previous version?

Question How to flash stock firmware from Brom or Da mode

long story short i have a SM-a125u that i hard bricked in the process of trying to root , i think i flashed the wrong preloader or something but anyway i can get into brom mode and even as far as loading the firmware into sp flash tool and clicking start to flash but nothing happens when it starts , ive tried the auth bypass , ive trried every tool known to man, i have every file you could need for the phone , pit , scatter, preloader, entire firmware dump , everything if anyone knows what im doing wrong please let me know , id be happy with just getting download mode back to fix it

I think i might be having similar issues with my infinix mtk phone

the problem is similar, samsung a12, does not enter the modes, does not respond to charging, the computer sees it as an MTK port, but the program Odin does not see it, I don’t know what to do ..

By the way, the mtk_bypass_rev3 program understands it, when you press the start button, it does something, some green lines, but again, Odin does not see it ... is it possible to somehow install the stock firmware?

I'll upload the files to fix it in a second but it will change your device to sm-a125w or at least it did to mine anyway which is a good thing because it allows OEM unlock if you want to root. It's just the Canadian version but it works fine on American networks ...will upload shortly
