GUIDE: How to FLASH and RESTORE your STOCK firmware on the TA-1054 (and others)

It seems like there are a few people having trouble going back to stock and getting everything working.
As always, this requires an unlocked bootloader. If you don't have an unlocked bootloader then search google for a $5 service that does. It is what I did.
I flashed Project treble on my TA-1054. It worked great except it kept saying "insert SIM" when there was already a sim card inside, so I could not use it.
I tried to go back to stock but that firmware file on that google drive thread was corrupted, bad upload. Took me a few days to source this original firmware.
There is a tool called OST ( around 115MB), and a patch that comes with it (the smaller file less than 1MB)
The firmware is almost 2 GB
Download everything, including firmware.
1. Install the OST tool.
2. Replace the EXE file in the program files with the patch file you downloaded.
3. Delete the Onlineupdatetoolexe.config file. If you don't do this, the program will not start correctly.
4. Put phone into download mode ( either by powering it off, pluging into USB cable and immediately hold power and volume down. Or if you can boot into android with ADB debugging, just do a adb reboot bootloader.
5. Pick firmware file and click next.
THe first 2 times I tried this, It hanged at the last second. Third time was a charm. Give it time. Use a good USB cable.
I assume that this is the same way to flash other firmware files for other devices.
As soon as i get my hands on a android one firmware, I will flash it.
Or if anyone can guide me on how to extract the firmware on my TA-1045 USA version and flash it to my TA-1054 Chinese , let me know. Cheers.
Google drive folder with all the files I uploaded.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NbzO6lfSGacjM2wqrtBg3jMpljsZswne

Thanks bro...I am downloading it.

PL2-2380-0-00WW-B01.NBx.zip is global firmware name. firmware size is 4gb.

thanks! for extract is with nb0 tools FIH Mobile v3.4

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cSgjrZUxIsN7oLbo7AP-RnILDZdswmB-
its android one firmware. I have no tool for flash...plz try and let me know

Flashing now. Will report back after flashing is done. thanks!!
Edit: Looks like the version I have for OST does not read NBX files. Will try to update that and report back. I have ntool but no working username password

I cannot flash the NBX file. I changed it to nb0 but OST LA says cannot read firmware. Is there any other way to flash?
EDIT: I went ahead and purchased a bunch of credits for NTOOL.
I will flash and see if it works!

It fails with the mdtp.img partition (no such partition) . I would think that it would just skip that partition but it did not. I will later try to extract and flash separately

For some reason when I try to flash the golabl firmware using ntool, my bootloader gets locked after the mdtp flashing fails and I have to re-unlock my bootloader and flash the original 7.1 chinese firmware using the OLD version of OST. ( the new one kept saying firmware corrupt)
When I bought the credits for Ntool, I also got access to the downloads section so I will be uploading all the firmwares they have, ( there is like 5 different ones)
I was reading how the nokia &+ users are converting their chinese variants to global variants using the android P beta rom.
We also have a P beta rom so I will be trying to install that to see if it works or not.
As some of you may realize, I am determined to make this happen! The reason is because my USA android One version has only 3gb of ram but the chinese version comes with 4GB.

can u flash my chinese rom which is nbo format via ntool. I have have ntool but i dont have user name,password, i downloaded rom which u provide.my device still cant connect to mobile data.

NBX format only works on Ntool. but Ntool needs working user name and password to works. OST cant read or flash Nbx format.
if u get Ntool with working user id .. then plz flash my device also via remote mode like teamviewer.

Ntool Bricked my device. the only real restore you can do is by using ost with the stock chinese firmware. edit your apn. why is your data not working?

Global rom cant flash via ntool in Ta1054..showed error in partition. if it will be solved then china to global will be easy process..

I'm eagerly watching your progress. I'm in the same boat sitting on a TA-1054 wanting to get on Oreo without chinese firmware :x
Keep up the good work. It is really appreciated!
Edit: By the way, are the custom and original chinese firmware files available anywhere?
I saw someone mention a firmware in the google drive for TA-1054 but I'm uncertain whether that is the official one or the custom one.

Its the Chinese official ROM you get it from Google drive folder in Nokia 6 mena firmware topic

Actually, the one in the mena topic was corrupted for me.
I have uploaded a good version in the first post of this thread. I've only had success flashing it wih OST.
But yesterday Ntool bricked my phone. No download mode, no screen, no usb recognition with windows. I am not really sure what to do now. If i can't get my pc to recognize it then the phone might be dead./ I may do a warranty exchange when i go visit china next month but if they check my bootloader, they will void my warranty. anyone know how to unbrick?
Also. The nokia 7+ forums said that if you flash the android P beta rom, then the chinese vaqriant becomes gloabl.
I went ahead and downloaded the android P beta for 6.1 but now that the phone is bricked I can't really test anything. I will sell my extra 1045 before i get curious and brick that too.

Can you share the link for P beta for 6.1?
Also, I own a TA-1054 model and I am in India. I ordered it from Amazon. It had Android One Oreo firmware preinstalled before I messed up and got loops. Later I flashed a GSI to at least boot it up.

I put the original chinese firmware on the first post.
There is an option to install google play store, but that would make your rom unable to receive updates.

Instructions:
Power your device off
Maintain volume up and volume down keys to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
Click on Enum to be sure your device is detected and press Start.
Wait ~300 seconds
Enjoy your brand new device
FAQ:
My device isn't detected when I click on "Enum" button
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsof...updateid=8ee52ba0-bdef-4009-88cf-335a678dd67a ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
My device doesn't stay in EDL mode for more than 10 seconds
Some units can have this problem and there isn't a lot of things to do to fix that, except being fast after plugging your phone to your computer.
EDIT 7th August 2019: There is apparently a "one-off" solution to this problem available at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80021106&postcount=21 . I would like to investigate more on that but sadly don't own the device so can't confirm it.
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked in first part of this FAQ.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.

THIS IS AMAZING! Thank you so much. Worked like charm. No need for installing extra drivers under Windows 10 or going through some other script madness. Really smooth and easy. Thanks!
Just got my OP7 yesterday and accidentally bricked it by formatting the vendor partition in TWRP. So I was searching for an Unbrick tool but there was none.
Thank god that you uploaded this just last night and saved my OP7 from an early death
In order to get the EU firmware back I simply have to flash the OxygenOS for my region and that's it, right? - Worked via TWRP
Another question though: I can create files on data when I am on the phone and I can also copy files over via USB-OTG. However when I try to push files via adb it tells me that the partition is read-only. Any idea how to fix this?

Cool it's also almost the latest version. I think I can close the other thread now.

Hi, I sadly have no idea about how to fix the adb push thing

Thanks for the response thiugh. I fixed it yesterdy evening.
First I tried to update the system to the EU version via local upgrade but it didn't let me as I was already on a "newer" version. So it interestingly classifies the Global version newer as the EU version for somehow.
So I went for TWRP and flashed the EU version to both slots (not even sure if that was necessary). After a reboot I was back on the EU version and also the adb push worked again. So not sure what was done to the data partition during the update, but it just worked

Lol. Security means your data isn't visible for 14yo boy because of encryption blabla. Nobody said it's security if he is able to steal your phone and format the storage with your personal data.

Yes, it wipes everything off your device and make it like the first day of unboxing. But you can do the same by going into android settings and make a factory reset.

I had bricked my P11 completely. I was not able to switch to recovery or something else, I got always only the fastboot screen. Even the stupid warning about the unlocked bootloader was missing.
I just was able to solve the problem with these settings:

Pretty hard to choose. It's said before flash a global one, it's better to unlock BL (or hardware incompatible happens).
However, I want Japanese (there's only CHT CHS and English in Chinese roms), and a pure android experience.
I really hate this, different Roms across countries. Can't they just develop only one but push localized apps to regions?

Question xiaoxin pad 11 pro

Good morning
So I've a xiaoxin pad 11 pro:
Model: tb-j706f
android version: 10
software version: tb-_706f_rf01_201229
ROM: TB-J706F_S240073_201229_ROW
kernel: 4.14.117 from 2020
Widevine: L1
And I whant to update to TB-J706F_S620150_211226_ROW. So my questions are many
-Can i use lenovo sofware to update?
-Do i need to lock or unlock oem bootloader from settings?
-Can only be done using QFIL or other softwares?
-Do i need to find out if it's region lock?
-How to backup this img, if everything goes wrong?
-Do i have to install the original chinese version, or can i just update the international one?
I see alot of threats talking about going from international to chinese, but I like to have play store and keepping widevine lv.1. Without having to do a lot of "work".
I've tried to use the OTA function, but downloads the update (just after my current version) it restart's and gets to the lenovo logo on the screen and reboots. Like a boot loop. I've to manually shutdown the tablet and it's back to normal.
After readding this forum, i still dont see a uniform way to update this device, and more importantly a easy way to do it. Can all of you help me?

- yes
- no
- yes
- even CN versions can be flashed with global rom
- you could still flash an img you download online if something wrongs happen
- it's on your own, if you have L1 with global unless you want latest updates no need to go CN, stay global.
if OTA update doesn't work maybe reset the device or even flash the newest rom available from lolinet then update with OTA.

@melones22 Thanks for the aswers.
Do you know if i download the newest global rom from lolinet, and force install, if i keep my lv1?

if you relock bootloader, likely. personally with natsafety patch + hde etc still l3
be absolute sure that you didn’t modified anything else than flashing before relocking

To flash a ROM you can use QFIL, I never used Lenovo softwaare so I am not sure if you can flash form there only last version or if you have a choice.
Normally you should not be required to use QFIL and you should be able to update with OTA updates.

You should backup QCN with QFIL and all partitions (you can probably exclude vendor and userdata) with QFIL or edl, there is a guide for both methods (I use edl) https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/two-ways-to-backup-tb-j706f-without-unlocking-bootloader.4402799/

You should be able to update your global ROM but since you are having problems I don't exclude you might need to go back to CN ROM before flashing again the Global ROM.

After readding this forum, i still dont see a uniform way to update this device, and more importantly a easy way to do it. Can all of you help me?

I am not sure what's the problem with your OTA update.
I would suggest to:
Backup your QCN and all partitions first
Open your QCN with QCNView and check the region in NV Item 6858
If your region is 02 is Global and OTA update should work, so maybe try a factory reset and see if after OTA update works.
If it's 00 (region unlocked) or 01 (China) that might be the reason OTA updates are not working.
Edit
I read again the version you have now and it's quite old, that probably does not have any region lock.
In the one tablet I had from the shop with Chinese ROM I flashed TB-J706F_S250260_210804_ROW, that set it as global region and then from that I run OTA updates.
So I think you should backup as I said before and then flash TB-J706F_S250260_210804_ROW, make sure to select the right settings in QFIL and NEVER check "Reset state machine".

Yes, but I nver used it
If you flash stock ROMs CN or Global you do NOT need to unlock bootloader
To flash a ROM you can use QFIL, I never used Lenovo softwaare so I am not sure if you can flash form there only last version or if you have a choice.
Normally you should not be required to use QFIL and you should be able to update with OTA updates.
If you are having problems updating I guess it doesn't hurt finding that out.
You should backup QCN with QFIL and all partitions (you can probably exclude vendor and userdata) with QFIL or edl, there is a guide for both methods (I use edl) https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/two-ways-to-backup-tb-j706f-without-unlocking-bootloader.4402799/
You should be able to update your global ROM but since you are having problems I don't exclude you might need to go back to CN ROM before flashing again the Global ROM.

Hi Mr. Crayon,
Is there any guide in how to do as what you mentioned above ? I'm quite new to this 'manual update' and still learning. Would really appreciate your help on this. My Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2020 (TB-J706F_S268018_210731_ROW) is still running on android 10 and my device is not certified by play protect. T.T

Hello.
Thanks @MrCrayon, but i never has able to use qfil to backup my device. To complicated for me. But thanks for the help.
So what i did to update my tablet. After feeling the same way @shaoki92 , i just tried to use lenovo tools. And... puff... update done.
No problems what so ever,
Did not lose L1
And did not have to mess with bootloader or region lock.
But i understand that i took a big risk. The tablet could've become just a paper weight. But until now working fine. With new android and everything.

Hi front3,
May i ask how do you update using lenovo tools ? Thanks

Im no expert that so ever. But i can tell you that i did.
Install lenovo assistance, on windows.
Used the charging cable of the tablet to connect to pc.
Launch the app
Connect to the device via app
(And i dont remember now, but i think its recue my device, and update, inside the app)
The app gives you a warning about using the tool on CH devices, and i took the risk.
Check the firmware version that the app gives you, and what it the lastest that has been deploid. Just to be sure. And do it if you dont mind taking the risk, do it.
In my case, the version that the app recomended has not on lolinet at that time. It only show up there, weeks later. But because the app connects to lenovo servers directly, i think it was safe.
Be careful because you can brick the device. And like @MrCrayon explained, i had one very old firmware, so xiaoxin didnt have the same "security" feactures has the newer devices. So maybe that is why it worked.

MSM Tool "Sahara communication failed and Automatic DDR failed"

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've been trying for hours to restore my OnePlus 8T with the global MSM tool and I keep getting the Sahara communication failed error over and over again. My drivers are successfully installed and I've tried 5 different USB ports and 3 different types of cables and nothing works. I've tried rebooting my PC multiple times, and 2 out of the 3 cables I've used are official OnePlus cables.
My phone stuck in edl.
Is there a possibility to get my phone back to life?

For me, I've been receiving this err when trying to use msm inside a windows kvm virtual machine with usb passthrough enabled...
When I switch to a normal windows install, no more errors.
So, it has been rumored that an usb 2.0 port works better than 3.0 for this.
Also check whether your tool fits your device or not. Log shows your tool is for T-Mobile version, do you have a kb2007?
If you do have a kb2007, I can confirm that MsmTools from here [ https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180981/ ] works.
Also check this [ https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-global-version-with-msmdownloadtool.4495057/ ] if you want global OOS instead of TMO's older version installed.
You can also try to press power button for a long time like 30s to reboot your device (still into edl mode but might fix some random errors).

That means you're using worng version msmtool.
In the log it shows that you're trying to flash kebabt_15_O.01_210121, which means TMO version rom.
But your device (aka target to flash) is "h2" version, not TMO version. So the error comes out.
ARE YOH SURE YOU'RE HOLDING A T-MOBILE 8T???
I don't know exactly what "h2" stands for, but definitely not TMO, for I have a TMO 8T and the target code is "TMO".
Tell me how do you get this phone. I doubt"h2" might stand for Chinese version but I'm not sure.
If you want to cross-flash other region's rom, you must modify the msmtool manually.

And this might help if your phone isn't Chinese brand (aka kb2000).

If your phone do is Chinese brand, XDA can't provide you a suitable msmtool because that version runs a Chinese-only system. You have to find it yourself.
If you find it, you do can cross-flash it to global version with the method provided below:

Then stop using TMO version msmtool.
Go get the version that matches your device.
Your log file shows you're using TMO msmtool. This will never work.

Is this differs from the status before flash? By saying closed, do you mean fastboot flash is locked?

Hard to say. If your device has no failure hardware, the chance is good. But you should provide more info so that others could tell.
