Question Iqoo 7 widevine - iQOO 7

Hi
My iqoo 7 (indian variant) downgrade to widevine l3 by ota update. I i have tried factory reset but no luck. Can anybody check & reply here. I have also contacted customer support. They told me to wait for an ota update. I did wait, but after ota same problem. Then, they told me to visit service center. I did that too. Service center people don't even know what is widevine. I had explained them first. Then they flashed my phone but still no luck.
Please can anyone help me regarding this and also want to ask whether it's a software bug or hardware bug.
Thanks

L3 is SD streaming but it is still functional.
Them changing it would be on purpose, not a bug.
It wouldnt be a concidence it changed for 0 reason.

I know it's functional. But when they advertised their phone as hdr10+ & l1 certified, then how can they downgrade now just after 2 months of releasing the phone.
it's a plain lie to customer

After reading your post I checked mine and mine still shows L1.
I also downloaded Ota but that doesn't seem to have affected anything.

I have updated to recent update PD2055F_EX_A_1.72.11. Checked DRM support and still got Widevine L1 support.

It's good, you don't have that widevine issue. But it doesn't mean that if you don't have that error, then nobody will have that error. Check twitter & YouTube, some people are facing this error. Now, the worst part is that iqoo support team will say that go to service center for this. But it's a software issue not a hardware issue. It can & it should be fixed by ota update. But iqoo is neglecting all users on twitter who have this particular problem. Hardware of this phone is good but software experience is not upto the mark. I regret why i even bought this phone

No such issue. Did you try to root ?

It's good if you don't have issues but it doesn't mean that others will also not have issues in same phone. You know, iqoo phones can't be rooted because iqoo doesn't allow unlocking the bootloader. There is no official method of unlocking the bootloader provided by iqoo/vivo, so no root.
And, this widevine issue has also occurred to some other users, too. But not to all for some only. Check their twitter page or on YouTube. I have seen some peoples are facing this issue.

This is the Roadmap as it was announced in the Huawei's Chinese Forum. It's translated via Google Translate. I believe we will have the Lollipop taste soon. I hope in the end of March - early April. My estimation is that the Stable ROM of Lollipop will arrive after 2-4 weeks.

As already written in another thread, my estimation is that the honor 6 will never receive Lollipop. It's february 2015 and they are "still evaluating".
In the next months honor 6 will be put in low priority because they will sure have some newer device to promote and the upgrade to 5.0 is very expensive to do.... That's what I think...

I don't think they will drop the support of Honor 6. I have seen everywhere that Huawei confirmed the lolipop update for the device. The only thing not been confirmed is the date. I have see Q1 (we nearly passed it) but I have also see June. I would be a bit disappointed if Huawei would stop supporting the phone after 6 months of the release date.
I am still positive..

I've never heard an official huawei response on this subject but only speculations on forum...
And even if huwaei had officially confirmed, sometimes vendors change their ideas.
For example I'm still wating ICS for my zte u960 that was officially confirmed by zte, but I don't it would arrive anytime soon
some thoughts about lollipop
imho, situation with honor 6 and lollipop is very unpredictable... Yes, Honor 6 was officially said to be a flagship. BUT, we can also see L21 model, with buffed cpu and cams, and we can see Honor 6 Plus, with new CPU, cams, bigger screen and battery. Kinda The Flagship of the flagships. So IMHO its hard to say if youngest honor 6 will receive lollipop at all.
One more thing, google released lollipop 5.1 for One line devices. lots of bug fixes etc... so which version should Honor release? bugged 5.0.x or more stable 5.1.x? if they started on creating 5.0.x branch for honor, they will need more time to switch to 5.1.x branch, and it will take us 2-3 month more of waiting... so lollipop could be published not earlier than end of spring.
and we should not forget about Honor being a standalone sub-brand now, with its own dev crue, so no one knows what's inside of their minds. but as I can see, 4.4.4 is not even yet implemented on any honor/huawei device...
So stay tuned. And don't believe in miracles that Chinese companies are thinking 'bout their customers. IMHO

As long as we get 5.0 drivers etc, there will be custom ROMS like CM.

hopefully we will get it, but still I don't think it will be soon. few month or even more. Besides updating source tree to 5.x they should also change emui to support all new features, and this will take time

Don't trust this kind of response especially from Huawei that is known as a company that don't have a clean upgrade path for its devices and it has already dropped support for a lot of devices.
I don't think that honor europe or honor india has a technical develpment team. All honor development is made in china and every other country just receive the chinese work.

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.

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..

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?

What does your phone say in settings>about phone>Baseband version.......and settings>about phone>Service Provider SW ver.?
Depending on what Service Provider SW ver. says (eg: MXO/MXO/MXO) you can go here and look up your version and download the appropriate firmware..

Samsung s10e update stuck at February 2019
I also need Android 10 and ui 2.0 update firmware for sm-970u
Can I ask for a bit of advice - I've been checking for the Android 10 update for me S10e - turns out that I haven't had any software updates at all since the 1st August 2019.
Checking the device information, even though I'm in the UK and have a UK SIM in the phone, the Service provider SW ver. is XEU/XEU,ITV/ITV - so Italy...
I'm aware that I can potentially manually update the firmware - but is there a way to ensure I get updates pushed to the phone given my set-up... would a manual flash fix this?

Maybe? If you flash the XEU(UK) firmware and keep using the UK SIM it should get updates. At the very least, youll be on December update.
https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__S10e__/7v7h/XEU/G970FXXS3BSL4/G970FOXM3BSKO/
Thanks @pahick - I ended up flashing using the XEU firmware. It was a little complex as I had to use VirtualBox on a Mac, but all went perfectly. Happily running Android 10 now
Will be curious to see if I get future OTA updates pushed to the phone now. Otherwise it'll be the VirtualBox route for me!
I'm curious to know, is there a subscription/notification service anywhere that will tell you there is a new firmware available for your device/region? Obviously I can keep trying on the phone, but I believe Samsung are doing monthly updates for the s10 series?
Finally... Do you think it's worth trying to manually set my CSC to XEU instead of ITV....?

I do not know of any subscription service sorry. Once again, sorry I do not know of changing CSC would help. I was hoping flashing the XEU firmware would change SW ver. Does it still show XEU/XEU,ITV/ITV? If so I am not sure. Sorry I could not be of more help.
Keep checking https://samfrew.com/model/SM-G970F/region/XEU/ as a few countries have already updated to January. Should not be long before you get an update. If you dont, just manually update when it comes out. Good luck.
PS...UK H3G has January update already. https://samfrew.com/model/SM-G970F/region/H3G/

No need to apologize - I really appreciate the advice and pointers. As it happens my update indicates that I have the 'Security patch level: 1 January 2020' - so may have got that with the update too.
Yes - it does still show XEU/XEU,ITV/ITV - but I'll just keep checking the samfrew.com URLs periodically, and checking for updates directly on the phone to see if it magically does do an OTA update at some point.
As an aside - there was a video guide on YouTube that was a nice reassuring reference for the update process (can't post as I haven't posted 10+ times on the boards!). Interestingly he states the CSC/Region isn't all that important as all tend to be present in the updates downloaded via Frija.
I'm happy though - thanks again for the advice, and hopefully this conversation helps future folks in a similar situation. I'm off to tinker some more with One UI 2.0!
For any who are interested, I can confirm that I'm now getting OTA updates, having just received the February security patch today, so I'm a very happy man!
As a side note, for anyone on MacOS, installing the new firmware via a Windows VM wasn't too complicated at all, and completely free.
Microsoft offer free Windows 10 VMs for browser testing, and they remain active for 90 days (or indefinitely if you do a restore point at a good time). Set one of these up and you can install the Samsung USB drivers, install Frija (with the required C++ packages), then Odin, and you're all good to go.
I hope this helps someone in the future. Many thanks for the advice/assistance on the forum.

Help with update OTA (ELS-N04 c792)

Hello so back in December i decided to take the risk go to Huawei with the P40 pro as my new phone and i loved it ever since up until i notice that when i installed GMS i didn't had updates. So then i watched videos after videos trying different things in order to fix it but kept failing. And now since the recent situation about firmware finder i think I'm stuck. If possible can someone help me?

it currently has EMUI 10.1.0.134(C792E7R3P1) and i saw a video on youtube to install them but first i had to downgrade it in order to make it work.
Hey, I am in the exact same boat, even the build is the same (C792E3R3P3) well reallllly close. Anyway, I am unable to downgrade out of EMUI 11, I cant use HiSuite to do the revisions cause they pulled the firmware, and the play store stopped working so my apps don't work... so pretty much screwed. I'm considering rooting the phone now.

I did exactly as you described - and it DID work.
First under EMUI 11 you use HiSuite to return to EMUI 10. When you have established the link between your PC and your phone you use the third option in HISuite - Update system - and when HISuite informs you that you are using the latest version already you will find below the option to use another version. In my case HISuite offered the latest version of EMUI 10 - 10.1.0.176 - and presto: you are in EMUI 10 after all. Now you downgrade to your verson 10.1.0.134 - or lower - and then you can user the googlefier.apk.
It worked in my case and now I'm using 11.0.0.176 as before trying to install GMS
Hope this helps...

I did exactly that, or tried I should say. I get to that point where it says "I am using the latest version" and does not offer another version. And now, my phone wont take incoming calls, never again... gonna jump off the Huawei train.

I had another idea but not sure if or how it would work. I found a complete backup of my phone when i first bought it. I did try all sorts of ways to install it but doesn't work...any ideas?
Hey Smokey, want to thank you for forwarding me to IProffesors firmware finder. I tried it 3 times and actually had it upgrade but failed on installation. I gave up but ended up messaging him to see if he could help. He told me to try a few things I haven't heard and the next attempt it worked man! He's a genius and now my new god, so thank you for pointing me to his work, saved my phone from the garbage.

Hi @IProfessor thanks, actually I tried but when the process starts on the phone it cancels on its own. Tried with different firmwares and still.

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

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.

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.
