Question regarding Honor 6x/Huawei Mate 9 lite

Hi everyone, I just received a Huawei Mate 9 lite as a gift which I'm aware it's a rebranded Honor 6x for (as far as I'm aware) Latin America. I understand that many 6x rooms work for it but have no idea how to get started since model numbers are different.
I have the 32gb/3gb ram model single sim and the model number is BL L23, I'm on marshmallow with EMUI 4.1.3 and I want to update to the official nougat release, I've seen official nougat rooms for this model but they have a different build number, does that matter?
It's a carrier-locked phone, but if it's possible to install a stock, non-carrier room on it like in other phones I have no issue with that...
TLDR version: I have a mate 9 lite and would like to upgrade to nougat, model BL L23 and build number C43B121, and no, carrier does not have update on OTA.

Check the dload guide, in my signature, and check if it work for you. It should most probably.

I found the huawei firmware finder on google play (translating the russian forum that appears on your sig) and there are quite alot of firmwares for my model, but does the build number matter? or does it only indicate the build number of the software andit shouldn't affect installtion? my build number is BLL-L23C43B121, I'm sure this is just a carrier specific version, but I want to make sure because this is the first time I own a non-flagship phone without a lot of support (like the Galaxy S2/S4, HTC One M7 and LG G3 which I've owned before).

Found a post on xda where it showed all the country codes...
The post shows that C605 is Colombia, and my phone was bought in Uruguay, I checked and Colombia uses same LTE bands, can I use a rom labeled LL-L23C605B364? or Do I have to unlock bootloader or something?

Nope you can not. Unless you flash the oeminfo file of L23C605 then only you can do this. We dont have the oeminfo file of that model yet. However if you just want to update the version, we can do via dload.

Great, how do I do that?
Update to nougat without having to change oeminfo?

Using dload. Let me check and give the links.
Yours is BLL-L23C43B121 OR BLL-L23C432B121?
There is a difference of 43 and 432.

Thanks for the quick reply, I have the update.zip from the c605 update, the big one (around 1.6gb), is that good? I didn't download the one that actually has the build number, the one specific for the c605..

Yeah, the 432 is the european international one. Mine is C43B, looking around xda I found it is specific Antel (carrier) Uruguay.

You can't. Yours is different build than this. It will fail 100% or worst case could mess badly to brick, mostly it will fail in any case.

Oh alright, so it's hopeless now? Should I wait until there's a method to update this model? I read that certain stock and custom roms fromtje honor 6x work with the mate 9 lite since it's basically the same phone...but if that's true, I don't know whichmodel of the 6x would be equivalent to mine,or if it is safe to do that...

Bumping the thread. Have you found any solution for this? I keep searching everywhere but nothing, I can unlock it and seen that I can probably root it too, but I can't rebrand it because as you mentioned there are no oeminfo files for the BLL L23. I've seen in another forum people withthe standard unlocked Mate 9 lite just updated through OTA and everything went fine but I cannot do that due to mine being a carrier-locked version.

I have the C605 update in my phone, I haven't flashed it because I was told not to since it might brick my device. Now, when I do the firmware check on Firmware finder it says "approved", should I trust that even though my firmware says C43B (not C432) and B121 (software version...?).

One final question, I used to have a galaxy S4 years ago, I remember I could install any other region of a rom as long as it was the same HARDWARE model, I had an international/Americas model and I managed to install a russian stock rom whixh had other updates, it was the same hardware model but different region...
Is it different with huawei's?

I tested it on my prototype phone, it works.
I've posted activities on my Twitter Hikari_Calyx.
But if you want to install it on retail phone, you need to obtain service permission from FIH Server (Which you can find someone that could flash Nokia 7 from Taobao) or unlock bootloader (which still don't know how to unlock).

Hello. I want to install the Global firmware onto a 6GB RAM Chinese edition Nokia 7 plus phone.
1) Which firmware file do I need to download from the Google Drive folder?
2) Will the phone behave exactly like a global-edition Nokia 7 plus? I mean, with all the OTA updates, multi-language system and hopefully no spyware/backdoors that the Chinese internet censorship may (or may not) put on it?
Thanks

I thought the international version already got 8.1.
It looks like I was wrong?
I got my 7+ 2 days ago and I was very worried I did not get the update as per some of the Indian reviews!
So yours is still on 8.0 Feb security update?
Thank you.

Any info for a TA-1055 that arrived today as a Nokia 7 plus? It's stubbornly on 8.0.0 Feb 2018.

[App] Googlefier Easiest Way to Install GMS or GApps

I read about Googlefier a week ago in an XDA article over here and was overwhelmed to see how easy the process has become to install GMS.
Guys who don't have Google Mobile Services yet and want to try their hands on after knowing how easy the process is now, can head to the thread in the below link and try themselves.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/googlefier-install-gms-huawei-honor-t4180485
Don't forget to report here if it worked for you or not so that other P40/P40 Pro users can benefit.

I had GMS installed on my phone since June until 3 days ago. Everything was working flawlessly until i changed password on Google. Hence changed password i had to login everywhere again. That's when nightmare began.
I had to redo my phone, so I made a backup via HiSuite(latest version) and then used HiSuiteProxy to downgrade, but it didn't work with last version. I installed older version of HiSuite on my PC(550 I think) and was be able to downgrade.
After downgrade I tried Googlefeier. At first it didn't work and I was a bit stressed because everything took a lot of time then I had in plan to invest into this process. I tried to restore back up but it didn't work. While restoring password prompted was not right. I fixed this by updating HiSuite. So remember, you can restore your back up made by HiSuite only with same version of program. You can't use different versions of HiSuite to make/restore backups.
Ok, back to Googlefeier: Read and remember carefully instructions said by program. Watch some video clips. After about 3 times with trying to install/deleting, i was finally able to do it. But keep in mind that I came to step 8 and stopped there because everything works now.
I send picture of how program should look like.
If you fail with it, delete everything through program and re-do.
Also one very big thing not mentioned by Googlefeier. Once chinese G application has been installed on your device, press home and launch the app. Click on only one option you can click, written on chinese and then switch to Googlefeier app, continue set up.
One more time, do not continue set up without launching chinese application. Run it as soon as you install it because Googlefeier wont do it for you.
Best of luck to everyone.

If you can't open it. Downgrade.

installed GMS with Googlefier and its very easy and stable , all services + OTA updates working .

Hi there,
I just bought Huawei y8p keeping in view the Google fier app.
My emui version is 10.1.
When I try to install Google fier and after backup the G app doesn't work. It says it is not compatible with your device in Chinese. Or something like that.
Yesterday my phone updated but the G app wasn't working on the older version as well.
IDK from which emui it updated to which. But current version is 10.1.
I think I checked before and before it was also emui 10.1
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Try enter HiCare app (ou Support app, dont know that app name in english), chance your country to another, for example Portugal etc, then check "Quick Services", and tap on "Updates". In that way It will work. If it's not, change country... In onde time or another, It will work.

I wouldn't bother mate.. I bought this phone after seeing the dual space way of getting Google apps. Installed them all and worked fine even getting notifications, next day nothing worked.. Installed all again, logged in etc, again next day nothing worked...Seems I was actually lucky to get them installing as a lot of people just get spinning downloading from play store and never install. I'm now just trying to live life without Google and logging in online for all my banking / shares / pension stuff etc

Can I downgrade N20 from Android 11 to 10?

I have a N20 Ultra locked with TMobile in the USA. The phone came stock with Android 10 and OneUI 2.5.
I desperately want to go back to A10 and UI 2.5. If I do a factory reset without restoring a backup from samsung/google will the phone revert itself? Or will it simply still be on Android 11?
I can't unlock the phone and am looking for a non-root answer.
previously on my Note 9 (locked with Verizon) I was able to successfully figure out a way to block all OTA updates after weeks of research but in this case the OTA update was done automatically.
thank you

the phone will still be ANDROID 11 even if you factory reset it. I just downgraded mine back to A10 using this link below.
OTA and Non-OTA Firmware for N986U and N986U1
See Post #2 and #3 for the Links to the Firmware ALL of the firmware posted here can be flashed on any N986U/N986U1 Device. The firmware is NOT carrier dependent and is only listed next to some of them in order to have an idea if you might get...

i Had to factory reset mine after I downgraded to A10. I backed up and restored all my data using the smart switch application on my laptop.

How bad was android 11 that you want to go back?

I've just did it wit Odin.
The flashing was done in 1m23s and now I'm enjoying again all of the GoodLock modules settings!

Yay! Samsung takes a month or more to update the Good Lock series after a OS release.
Blame Google and their insane Apple idolization for the trashware that is 11. I don't have any love for Q but was hoping Google fix some of their fails with 11.
Maybe they've gone full blown MS nuts. MS has 3 boned OS releases in a row now. Last good OS was W7x64... but XPx64 was better.
Regardless no matter how good an OS is, I never update if I have a fast, stable OS that I like. If the new OS release is doing well in 6 months then maybe.
Google's motto; it ain't broke, let's fix it anyway.

Well, I DO really believe in updates (and also in UI customization! )so if there will be a full support for GoodLock, I'll upgrade to A11 (maybe in February).
Besides that you are fully right, I am still wondering why a simple operation like opening the file explorer takes many seconds on W10 and was like an instant thing on XP.... This drives me nuts in my daily work since my employers W10 central upgrade.

XPx64 was MS's best, a full load took up 576 mb of ram. Oddly MS never tried to really sell it and went on to the abortion know as Vista (same load on a 32 bit system was over 200 mb larger, wtf?).
I'll probably be running W7x64 for a very long time... even it's interface isn't as usable as XPx64 though.
Silver lining; a lot of great corporate used Dell laptop's out their at cheap prices in great condition. Got a e6400 3 years ago for $130 added some ram, 2 hdds, and eventually had to replaced the batteries. Good looking/running 3 tb laptop for $450 total.

I have seen so many people that have problems with display "broken" that I think maybe is android 11 .I would like to downgrade my note 20 ultra (DREI) to android 10 I got the riginal firmware (SM-N986B_ATO_N986BXXU1ATH3_) allways DREi that why if I put the no brand I will I lose the 18 month warranty
I will have prblemsa falshing with odin and wit the bot loader?
Thank's

If you're already on bootloader 2, you cannot flash back to Android 10.

It's identified in the firmware number. Got to Settings - About Phone -Software Information and look at the Baseband version or Build number. To find out your bootloader version.
An example, this particular firmware version is bootloader 1 as noted by the (1) just before the build identifier. N986BXXU1ATH3
N=Note
986U or F etc, the model of device
SQ, FX etc = CPU and model specific
U,S,E = Update, Security, Engineering, respectively
1,2,3,4,5 etc = bootloader revision (This is important! You cannot go to a previous revision)
A,B,C,D = Android version
T, U = Year (T=2020, U=2021 etc)
A,B,C etc = month (January A - December L)
1 - 9 and then A - Z =build compilation. This basically means how many builds there are in a month. They start at 1 and go to Z

UK CPW Find X2 PRO STUCK ON COLOROS 7.1 MAY 2020 PATCH

Hi All
I have just purchased a Find X2 Pro unlocked from a store as a used return, it has come unlocked from no carrier but says CPW (which i assume stands for carphone warehouse?
This isn't the main issue for me but what is is the fact the phone refuses to update at all
I have tried various VPN's on different regions and still no luck, OPPO's UK website doesn't even think the find x2 pro exists on their support page so i can't manually download firmware to flash it, the recovery updater also has no luck. I've also tried doing the region swap tool i saw on another thread but had no luck setting it up as my ethernet adapter doesn't have a "network address tab"
At the end of the day, i cannot find a single way to update this phone, has anyone else faced this issue or know another potential way to fix it? If not then the phone is being returned ASAP since this isn't acceptable from OPPO
Thanks for any potential help
EDIT: I have managed to get into the engineer mode to change the software region, even after changing it to EUEX i cannot get any updates with various VPN's

The build they sent me was a March 2020 Android 11 build which has now allowed me to update and now running C75 however i did change the branch to EUEX as stated in my post so no longer running the CPW build. Didn't even require a VPN (in UK)
File on MEGA
mega.nz

Thanks, unfortunately I'm stuck on C.70 from August. So I don't think I could install your file on my phone.
How did you contact Oppo to obtain this file ? I contacted the support on global site to request an update, but they said to wait for OTA to come.

I contacted the UK site (since im in UK) via live chat, they asked for the software build and IMEI and told me they would send me a link via email within a few days (came next day)

Thanks for this. I contacted Oppo about my X2 Pro, the link they sent me kept saying installation failed. Your download worked straight away and am now on the January security patch. I have not changed region or anything else. Thanks again for posting download.

Hi @TheDXDan, I have exactly the same problem, bought a Find X2 Pro with the same CPW_11_A_26 version you were showing in the photo above.
Would you please be able to share again the firmware you used? I tried the link you provided above on 'mega.nz' but the file is no longer available there.
I also spoke to Oppo support, they pointed me to a download called "CPH2023EU_11_OTA_17501380_all_MWTyBnliH0nz.ozip" but that did not work, a couple of seconds after I start the update it says 'Installation Failed'
I wonder if changing the software region to EUEX, as you did, is essential for this firmware update to work? @Jonah72 , did you have to change to EUEX?
Many thanks for any help with this.

The link OPPO supplied me didn't work and kept saying "installation failed". I didn't change to EUEX, just installed the update from the link above

@Andrei_1 https://mega.nz/file/MIZCgS5Y#DiS9NrPd8W7BJ05ZJ32BmFx6j6jPPS5I3hvmT04MYGg
Pretty sure this is the update I used

Thank you so much for the link @Jonah72!
Downloading this firmware now ... I will try it out and report back.

This link worked for me, thank you @Jonah72!!! And I did not have to change software region for it to update.
With this firmware file it updated from the old Android10/Coloros7.1/rev 26 that the phone came with, to Android 11 rev. 65 [at least I think it was 65]. After that the phone was able to do further OTA updates, it found/installed several updates quite quickly, I think about three of those got it all the way to Android 12 with a security patch from May 2022, which it now says [quite plausibly] is latest. Previously the silly thing was saying that the Android 10/Coloros 7.1 it had from 2020 was 'latest'.
So I am very happy with this. I have to say, I don't notice a massive difference in use between the old Android10/7.1 and this latest Android12, but there are some slight improvements (for example, with the old firmware screen rotation was unreliable on this phone, it seems better/fixed now). The camera app has some improved configurability. There probably are some more subtle new features in Android 12 vs Android 10, that I just didn't notice with my rather basic use of the phone.
Anyways - thanks again. Without your help I was probably going to remain stuck on the old firmware for eternity, since Oppo UK support have been totally useless in solving this, despite my wasting a lot of time chasing them.

How you got updated to 12 , and after how much time after downloading thia firmware you got the update?
For mine after suffering 2 week i found your comment and i update using this firmware but i found some problem with camera software and i need to update to color os 12.
And which is your country so i can use vpn to receive ota update

Hi @Coagulation
After flashing the update to Android10/Coloros7.1/rev 26 I got the OTA updates to Android 12 within the next hour.
I am in the UK.
I guess what OTA updates are available at any time depends on OPPO and maybe also on your mobile phone operator.
