These materials can only be used for ROG Phone 5S_ZS676KS, and ROG Phone 5_ZS673KS cannot be used. I will release the materials for ROG 5 separately.
If your ROG Phone 5S ZS676KS only has edl mode (port 9008), then this tool can help you repair your phone through edl mode.
Or if you want to modify COUNTRY, flash the firmware of WW, you don't need to apply to unlock the Bootloader,
you don't need ROOT, just follow me.
1.Connect the phone to the computer through the USB port on the left, enter the fastboot mode,
and then open "Reboot-to-edl.bat" to enter the edl mode. Or enter fastboot oem enter-dload in cmd.
2.You must flash in the ENG firmware that I modified. If you find the firmware online,
you may lose your fingerprint and IMEI after flashing.
Method 1: The phone enters edl mode, and when you see port 9008 in the device manager,
open the ENG folder--open "0-update_image_EDL.bat"
Method 2: The phone enters edl mode, and after you see port 9008 in the device manager, use the XiaoMiFlash tool to flash in.
Method 3: The phone enters edl mode, and after you see port 9008 in the device manager,flash in through the QPST tool.
3.After flashing in the firmware and successfully booting up, be sure to back up your phone partition files. If your phone's fingerprint is lost or IMEI is lost,
it can be restored to normal. If you don't have a backup, it will be very troublesome.
Double-click to open "Backup.bat", it will automatically back up your phone partition files, you need to save these files, follow-up will definitely help you.
Include these 10 files：“persist.img factory.img modemst1 modemst2 asuskey4 fsg fsgCA fsc fsgCA2 fsgCA3”
Normally, you don’t need to restore these files. If your fingerprint or imei is lost and you need to restore these files to your phone,
please flash the ENG firmware, then put these 10 files into the ROG 5S folder, and double-click to open " Restore.bat" can be restored to your phone.
4.If your machine is an global version, after backing up and saving 10 files, directly enter the fastboot mode, open the WW folder-open "flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd" to flash the WW firmware, and successfully repair your ROG 5S.
If your machine is the CN version, and you want to flash into the WW Firmware, but don’t want to unlock the BootLoader, you can use WinHex to open the persist.img you just backed up,
find COUNTRY, change CN to WW and save it, and you can directly restore it to your phone through the dd command Inside, there is no need to unlock or install magisk.
Double click to open"Open-Cmd.bat",Then enter the commands one by one
adb push persist.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
Then enter the fastboot mode, open the WW folder-open "flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd" to flash the WW firmware.

I have also studied Hardwaresub Services for a long time, ROG1/ROG2/ROG3 only need to modify COUNTRY, CN to WW, and then flash into the global version,
there will be no such prompt. In addition to modifying COUNTRY, ROG 5 also needs to modify asuskey4.
In this partition, clear the imei, then there is no prompt. But I can’t do anything with ROG 5S.
This machine verifies modemst1 and modemst2. I tried it for a long time, but I couldn’t get rid of the prompt except for the whitelist.
If your ROG3/ROG5/ROG5S is the CN version, but you have flashed the WW firmware, you cannot unlock the Bootloader, or you are prompted to unlock successfully, but the Bootloader is still not unlocked after restarting, you can write the correct SSN and ISN of the phone Go to asuskey4, then restore to the phone partition, and then use the official unlocking tool to unlock it.

All of us, unfortunate owners of the tencent relocked ROG5, would be grateful if you could elaborate the following bits-
- Writing down SSN & ISN
- Going to asuskey4
- Restoring phone partition
Much appreciate your contribution here pal!
Can you share the WinHex version you're using?
I'm unable to get the same view you are seeing to find "Country".

Wrong fastboot. Reboot to the bootloader, not fastbootd
I am having some issues getting it to work.
I currently have it bricked to the point of only showing up as a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port .
I keep getting a sahara error after the program tries to run the firehose program.
Can you please help me with this problem.
Thank you.
So I managed to download the program via the 0_update_image_edl.bat file with my phone in EDL mode. However, my phone restarted and it is stuck on the republic of gamers logo.
I wonder why it isn't working. Is there something I am missing or does it take a long while to actually load everything during the first reboot after installation?
Edit:
It was my specific phone acting up and nothing to do with your firmware. I am not sure why I had to keep switching between the bottom and side port to get it to work but I eventually got my phone working using the files you provided. Thank you so much for these files, if not for you, my phone would still be bricked.
It seems like I am always finding something new, even when I have access to my phone now.
My storage is only 64 gb out of the 256 gb it normally has. Any idea how to fix this issue?
Edit, found the fix.
Step 1. I had to ensure that I made a back up of the 10 files stated in the instructions. This is important as not having these files will probably brick a phone.
Step 2. I deleted the extra partitions by setting the "erase all before download" and "reset after download" under "configuration" in the qfil app. Then I did the installation process using qfil.
It did not install correctly, but it was not the point of the process, the point was to delete all hidden partitions.
This deletes the 10 files from the phone as well (I think) and this is why the 10 files are important.
Step 3. I put my phone into edl mode via the reboot to edl .bat file you provided.
Step 4. I used the 0-update_image_edl.bat file to do the first part of the firmware installation process.
It rebooted and showed the page of the phones information. I thought this meant it kept all it's information, but this is a lie.
Step 5. At this point I placed all 10 files in the same folder as the restore.bat file
Step 6. I pressed the restore.bat file and it installed the 10 files.
Step 7. I then proceeded to do the second part of the installation by pressing the "flash_raw_and_wipe_data" file under "ww"
This installed the firmware and rebooted my phone. Now I have all my storage back.
//////////////////////////////
Note:
If the process above doesn't work for someone else. The thing that might have fix my phone could have been changing the setting in the "partition setting" under "configuration" in the "qfil app" that actually deleted the other partitions.
I think I set "customize physical partition" and "active partition number" to 1.
I did this right after saving my 10 files and before using the qfil app to attempt to install the first part of the firmware installation to my phone. This process would replace step 2. on this post.

I had something similar happen.
Does the computer register it as a device that can be seen or connected? If it DOES NOT CONNECT TO THE PC AT ALL, let it sit on the android logo while it is connected to the computer. In about 15 to 20 minutes it should reboot into a recovery mode like state and the PC will pick it up, something that didn't work when you attempted to use the androids power and volume buttons. It should say a few things and have about 2 options that say
1. delete files
2. reattempt
DO NOT SELECT ANY OF THOSE OPTIONS!!!
Instead, keep the phone plugged in and do not turn off the phone. Place it back into edl mode using adb or the "Reboot-to-edl.bat" file and attempt to reinstall the first portion of the firmware using the "0-update_image_EDL.bat" file.
(Note: You might need to mess with the device manager settings on your PC for the phone. The phone needs to have the ADB Driver to reboot to edl. After your phone gets into EDL mode, you may need to then set your phone to run with the qualcomm driver on your PC's device manager setting to allow you update the image edl. )
then after that fully installs, go to the next step which is the backing up the 10 files. This is the "Backup.bat" file.
This is important. If you fail to do this, you could end up bricking your phone as installing new firmware has a possibility of deleting your phones identity "IEMI" and without this info, your phone will not work. Make sure you keep this file even after you fully installed your software.
After downloading those 10 files. Go to the next step which is. pressing the "flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd" file in the WW folder.
(NOTE:
If this doesn't work, it probably means the IEMI information was deleted. Do not pay attention to what is shown on the android screen itself, the battery life and all the info on the screen is incorrect!! It might say something like you have 6000 mah of battery when in actuality you have 5 mah of battery. You will probably have to redo the installation and press the " Restore.bat" file after fully installing using the "0-update_image_EDL.bat" file. If you already have the 10 files, you do not have to resave the 10 files, as you already have them all.
In order to use the restore bat file. All 10 files have to be in the same folder as the "restore.bat" file, prior to pressing the "restore.bat" file.)

One of the languages for the ROG 5s WW version is Deutsch (Deutschland) or what we normally call german in the US.
There seems to be other forms of Deutsch as well. When initiating the phone, select Duetsch (Deutschland) to run it in the German language or go to settings - accessibility - Language - Duetsch (Duetschland)

Rebranding Honor 8 FRD-AL10 to FRD-L19 is Easy
I converted two mint FRD-AL10 to FRD-L19 versions yesterday. They have since both taken OTA updates over WiFi. One is at FRDL19C432B360 and the other took an additional update to FRDL19C432B380. I am in the Western United States, the phones know they are here too, but believe they are destined for Europe. When I take a local call, a +1 automatically shows up in front of the number on the call log. When I browse to Yahoo the phone goes to the Yahoo United Kingdom and Ireland home page. The FRD-AL10 phones were both at EMUI 5.0 and Android 7.0 and still at EMUI 5.0 and Android 7.0 after being rebranded to FRD-L19 UK. Everything works including dual SIMs. There is no remnant of Chinese apps, no pinyin characters anywhere. There are absolutely no problems. You do not need to root your phone with this method and you will end up with factory new like European firmware load.

Enter
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone should now display the fastboot recovery screen
Enter
fastboot devices
The response should return the serial number of your phone
Enter
fastboot OEM unlock [your boot code here]
Your phone will factory reset and is now unlocked. Power down and reboot the phone.
Go to system app, developer, and turn on USB debugging, as before accept USB prompts, and reject and close Huwaei apps.
Open a command prompt in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
Enter

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img
When the flash writing is done install the SD card and enter
flashboot reboot
Hold down the volume up and power buttons as the phone boots up, you can release the power button at the blue honor screen, but continue to hold down the volume up until you see TWRP.
Tap the install button
Tap Select storage and select the SD card.
Select the FRD-L19C432B131-hw-eu-OPU_TWRP_FRD.zip file and swipe to flash.
When the flashing is done, your oem.info has been changed to Europe.
Select reboot to system.
Hold down volume up, volume down and power simultaneously while it reboots, continue to hold until the phone is in Huwaei erecovery mode.
Erecovery will force the phone to install the update.app file in the dload folder from the sd card. It will take several minutes.
When complete let the phone reboot on its own and hookup WiFi, enable USB debugging and let Huwaei apps hookup. Your phone will appear to be a legitimate European model to the network and will immediately begin to take OTA updates. Your boot loader is locked again, you are not rooted, TWRP is gone and you have a stock UK European version FRD-L19 in your hands.

Your phone will factory reset and is now unlocked. Power down and reboot the phone.
Go to system app, developer, and turn on USB debugging, as before accept USB prompts, and reject and close Huwaei apps.
Open a command prompt in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
Enter
adb devices
Enter
adb reboot bootloader
The phone should now once again be at the fastboot recovery screen
Enter
fastboot devices
If your phone’s serial number is returned, you have communication.
Now install TWRP.
Enter
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img
When the flash writing is done install the SD card and enter
flashboot reboot
Hold down the volume up and power buttons as the phone boots up, you can release the power button at the blue honor screen, but continue to hold down the volume up until you see TWRP.
Tap the install button
Tap Select storage and select the SD card.
Select the FRD-L19C432B131-hw-eu-OPU_TWRP_FRD.zip file and swipe to flash.
When the flashing is done, your oem.info has been changed to Europe.
Select reboot to system.
Hold down volume up, volume down and power simultaneously while it reboots, continue to hold until the phone is in Huwaei erecovery mode.
Erecovery will force the phone to install the update.app file in the dload folder from the sd card. It will take several minutes.
When complete let the phone reboot on its own and hookup WiFi, enable USB debugging and let Huwaei apps hookup. Your phone will appear to be a legitimate European model to the network and will immediately begin to take OTA updates. Your boot loader is locked again, you are not rooted, TWRP is gone and you have a stock UK European version FRD-L19 in your hands.

It looks like you are trying to flash a stock recovery cn.img
If you are at EMUI 5 and I think you are, use the twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img
It will decrypt the encryption. Other recovery images here cannot decrypt and you must reformat the data partion to use them with EMUI 5. Also, if you root use the SuperSU vesion available from these forums specifically for use with EMUI 5 in the file name. Search for it. Again encryption is involved.
If you can get into fastboot you can fix it. At the bottom of the fastboot screen it should say phone unlocked. If it says locked you will need to unlock the bootloader again.
Always make sure you have USB communication between fastboot and the phone. For some reason Huwaei phones will sometimes disable USB debugging with power down and power up. You need to check each time.

Rollback to EMUI 4.1 C900B300 UK
Search for EMUI 4.1_C900B300, find and use the update.app in this file
Honor%208_Rollback%20Package_FRD-L19_from%20Android%207.0%20EMUI%205.0%20to%20Android%206.0%20EMUI%204.1_C900B300_UK.rar
This is the official Huwaei FRD-L19 rollback package. It rolls your firmware back to the first UK European release of the FRD-L19. It is a full firmware load and will replace everything.
If you get this on your phone, before erecovery is complete or immediately after, your phone will begin taking OTA updates and all will be fine.
If you can get into flashboot, you should be able to get into erecovery, put dload/update.app in the root folder of your sd card, hold volume up, volume down and power throughout bootup.
If erecovery fails the oem info on your phone is not set to europe. Find and install the MT Huwaei Multi-Tool version 7 from the MT forum. Use it to change your oem info and try erecovery again.
The Multi-Tool can do much more without the need to type individual lines of adb and fastboot commands. To run, you execute one of the .bat files in a command window. You will only have two command menu language choices, Russian or English. Choose ru.bat or en.bat accordingly. Try the menu commands without your phone plugged in first.
Thanks friend. I will try id after work. Today in night i tried install rollback(al19 UK) and romC432B131-UK downloaded by hihonor.com. Install by DLOAD folder not work :/ while i pressed three button Phone switch on and stop on (HONOR ON BLUE SCREEN). Install not opened why? Next i tried install only ROM by fastboot. All files install successfull, but recovery.img not work. (maybe file is damaged?) Finally i repeat installed successfull chinese marshmallow b135.
Anyone have good download link working Al19 rom for my AL10?
Sorry for my not good English and very low experience
I was running the Ephemeral Mate 9 B225 ROM on AL00. It worked well but I wasn't satisfied with the custom ROM.
So I decided to rebrand to MHA-L29 and run a stock rom.
I started converting my MHA-AL00 (B225) to MHA-L29 using this guide: Link
I've override the L29C636 OEMinfo while keeping the other 5 existing files of the original OEMinfo intact. (See attachment for original OEMinfo files)
I got stuck after restoring the new OEMinfo through TWRP recovery as stated in the guide.
The phone booted up and started the installation of the new firmware. When completed it did a reboot but it never started up again.
Now my phones doesn't respond to input from physical buttons although my PC does recognise a decive as "HI3650". In device manager it also shows up as "Android Bootloader Interface".
Summary of process followed:
1. Bootloader unlocked
2. Instaled TWRP
3. Flashed Ephemeral Mate 9
4. Did a OEMinfo back-up
5. Changed AL00B225 OEMinfo to L29C636 oeminfo
6. TWRP back-up recovery
Next step should be to unlock the bootloader and instal TWRP again but I can't get to interact with the phone at this stage.
Can anyone point to what I did wrong and/or advice me on the next steps I could take?
Use this link mate, always succeed for me, dont need to do anything, just download 3 big files, copy to sdcard and run the bat file.

I can copy those files to the SD-card though a different source.
How can I run the update bat file from the SD when its inserted in my phone?
The phone doesn't respons to ADB and I can't get it to boot in bootloader or recovery. It even doesn't show up as a storage device at my PC (both internal and SD storage).
30-08-2017 14:50 UPDATE: It seems fastboot does recognise the device but adb doesn't. It there a way to use fastboot command to run the bat file or restore the OEMfile back-up. Both are present on the SD-card.
Questions @lemonade747: Does the phone need be be bootloader unlocked and TWRP instaled? I have a slight suspicion that that it both the bootloader got locked and TWRP uninstaled afther the TWRP recovery back-up to L29C636.

Go to download mode (power + volume down), plug the cable and run the bat file from the link I give (remember to download all small link and extract to the same folder), follow its instruction (in the cmd window) to complete the installation. Sorry I cant give your more clearly step. Regarding your question, if your phone has already unlocked BL, it will move to the next step (install the recovery), if not it will ask you put in your passcode to unlock BL then the next step will happen. All thing I said here is in that bat file, very detail.

Thanks for your detailed explanation, but it didn't solve the problem.
The phone is not responsive to go to bootloader mode (power + volume down) and the screen stays black. Fastboot command also dont seem to get it in bootloader mode. I keep getting the error message: (remote: Command not allowed).
The phone won't start up and is not responsive to any input and therefore unable to check status of USB-debugging. (unknown if it is enabled or disabled at this stage).
This stage happend, as explained in the first post, through TWRP back-up recovery with L29C636 OEMinfo files.

There are two method to go to the download mode:
1. Make sure the phone DOES NOT connect to any charger (via cable). Press volume down + Power button and wait at least 10 seconds. If the phone are connecting to charger or laptop, it wont work.
2. Press and hold the volume down button then plug the cable to your laptop (or charger but I prefer laptop cuz we can move to the next step without disruption), it will enter the download mode automatically.
If after trying two method above and still dont work for you, you may need to flash stock rom (including stock firmware) by using E-recovery method.
5-9-2017 UPDATE: I've been unable to solve this issue by myself. The phone is sent for repairs, fingers crossed they will accept it....
Since a lot of people flashed the wrong firmware (thanks to Asus for launching multiple devices under the same name ) on their Max, I've come across multiple threads here regarding Hardbricke and Qualcomm QD-loader 9008 state. I too have been a victim of the same issue and my phone was dead for around a year, before managing to get it to work again. I'm going to list out the procedure and relevant links here.
ps: I've tested this method on my Z010DD device. This should work with Z010D devices as well.
1. Download and install QPST from the link given https://androidmtk.com/download-qpst-flash-tool
2. Install Qualcomm drivers from here https://gsmusbdrivers.com/download/android-qualcomm-usb-driver/
3. Download the QFIL, QCN and RAW firmware for your device (Snapdragon 410 - MSM8916 and Snapdragon 615 - MSM8939) from here https://www.firmware27.com/2017/10/asus-zenfone-max-z010d-zc550kl-firmware.html and unzip both of them in separate directories
4. Open QFIL from the start menu and connect you dead phone to PC (Make sure your phone is detected as Qualcomm QD-Loader 9008. If not, uninstall Qualcomm drivers, reboot PC, reinstall and try again until you succeed)
5. Select 'Flat build' as Build type. Select prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn (or prog_emmc_firehose_8939.mbn) from the QFIL firmware directory as 'Programmer path'. Click on 'Load XML' and select 'rawprogram0.xml' and 'patch0.xml'.
6. Click on download and wait for the flashing process to complete ( takes some time. If you encounter sahara fail error, the uninstall and reinstall driers as stated in step 4)
7. Phone will reboot to service firmware (which is aosp and in chinese). Enable usb debugging and rebot to bootloader
8. Flash TWRP for your device and flash magisk
9. Reboot to fastboot and flash the files NON-HLOS.bin and NON-HLOS_IN.bin from your stock rom zip(available on Asus official Website) using command
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS_IN
10. Reboot to system and add your original imei using the tool here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OBAp69EA4KGHdYXA5DrwMLCIuAqNYMu4
11. Reboot phone and reset your serial number as instructed below
Code:
You need to root your phone and download Terminal Emulator and type the following command:-
1. su
2. dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/factorybak of=/sdcard/factory
Wait a sec...
3. dd if=/sdcard/factory of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/factory
reboot
12. Verify serial number and IMEI are present in your device. If yes, open QFIL->Tools->QCN backup restore. Select the QCN file for your device downloaded in step 3 and restore.
13. The device should reboot. If it fails, try restoring again (took me 8 tries).
14. Your phone should be getting network signals now. If now, try QCN restore again
15. Flash RAW firmware for your device
16. Boot to stock rom, setup everything and verify if you are getting signal. If yes, congratulations:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
If any step so far failed and nothing is working for you, then you can revert to QD-Loader 9008 mode by using code
Code:
adb reboot edl
and start over from beginning
Nb: If you are not able to unlock bootloader after getting everything else working, verify if your serial number is present. It is the main reason unlocking is not working

Hey Man. I'm currently working on my phone. I already tried removing the battery but I'm still getting the error:
Download Fail: Switch to EDL Fail.
hopes are going narrow. Now I don't know what to do.
Restore to normal mode from factory mode.
Thanks a lot for the detailed procedure. Restored my phone back to start. However my phone is stuck on factory mode and i'm unable to restore it back to normal mode. Also tried the Exit factory mode file given in the link of firmware download section. However whenver i try to write it with the help of QIFL it says sahara fail error and my phone's stuck in factory mode still. And also haven't been able to receive any network signal in the phone after inserting sim in the phone. Kindly help.

There is a tool which is used to switch from factory mode to normal mode. But QCN should be flashed and serial number should be restored before switching to normal mode. QCN restore is hard but it'll work in a few tries. Uninstall drivers and QFIL and retry. That's the only solution I can recommend

Back Story
Hi All,
Like a massive child I stupidly jumped on the Pie bandwagon away from a very well maintained Honor 10 ROM which ran beautifully on my P20 Pro..
After restoring EMUI, the PIE update quickly made itself visible, so i took a deep breath and committed.
After the installation, I tried to install a bunch of ROM's, I messed up a bit.
Anyway, what I found was, I was unable to recovery from eRecovery OR HiSuite, so I then found myself on the wobbly road that is restoring each parition via the bootloader using fastboot, tried to install just the recovery_ramdisk, didn't work, tried to install, kernel / cust / system / recovery_ramdisk..... STILL Didn't work.
So i downloaded another firmware, this time the exact version i was using albeit for the L-09 and not the L-29, I needed to extract the update part of the zip then read it using a tool called firmware extractor.
Ton of files in there, the files i just mentioned which are all .img files and some others.
In the end i needed several to get a perfect restore which has worked every single time without fail.
As it was a massive ballache and a learning curve for me as I'd never done it before, so I thought i'd share my experience and the files required on Mega so there aren't any ads blocking your way Yaay, also what to do and where to obtain the firmwares from my experiences.
Hope it helps someone avoid the pain I had to go through when downloading firmwares for 5 hours at a time, wasn't fun.
Good luck, any questions let me know. :good:
START HERE
*NOTE: You can do this from scratch by downloading the firmware for your device, i required 9.0.0.190 for the L29 - c432.
The best place I found was this site https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&c=download&id=105974
They require an account to be made but besides that they were faster and had more choice.
Once you have the firmware you'll need the Extractor, then you'll need to move several of the files into the ADB folder for flashing, see below...
Anyway, moving on........
FILES
At the foot of this guide is a link, inside it is everything you should require in order to complete this guide
ADB - Move this folder to the root of C, it should be like this C:\ADB (reason for this is it's much easier to navigate to, most people will already have this)
IMG Files for 9.0.0.190 - All of the file names you see below are img files which we'll be using to un-brick / recover / restore your device to a functional state.
Move all of them after downloading to the ADB folder in C:\ADB
CACHE.img
CUST.img
ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img
KERNEL.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
USERDATA.img
VENDOR.img
SYSTEM.img
EMUI Extractor - Not a part of this guide but you will need it should you need to download your own firmware and obtain the above files.
Pre-requisites
- A device on a maximum firmware of 9.0.0.190 (If you are on a higher firmware, then use the link above to obtain it)
- A device variant of either L-09 or L-29 (others may work but i have not tested)
- A device variant of c432 (the 782 may work but i have not tested)
- Access to the bootloader (white screen with vol down and power whilst connected to a laptop)
- Drivers so that fastboot / adb commands can be sent to your device (I won't show how to do this, it's pretty standard stuff)
- I have an unlocked bootloader myself and OEM unlocking is on (REQUIRED)
- A Windows based PC /Laptop and a functional USB-C cable. (I'm sure you can
GUIDE
On your computer / laptop
STEP 1 Download all the files from the mega link provided.
STEP 2 Copy the ADB Folder to the root of C: so it looks like this
C:\ADB
STEP 3 Open the folder called "IMG Files for 9.0.0.190" Copy the .IMG files to the ADB folder so they are loose.
STEP 4 Press Start / Windows key and type in cmd then press enter, a black window will appear
STEP 5 In the black window type the following:
cd c:\adb then press Enter
STEP 6 Connect your phone to your laptop using the USB-C cable and allow it to be seen by windows
On your Phone
STEP 7 Press and hold the power button and volume down, don't let go, your screen will go blank, once it turns back on, release the power key but continue holding vol down, a white screen should appear, you can now release the power volume key, you are now in fastboot mode and can input commands.
On your computer / laptop
Step 8 Click the CMD window and type in the following commands, you will have to wait for them to go all the way through, some take longer ie: System.img
*NOTE: For speed you can use the tab key to pre fill certain words or files, so if you've typed in "Fastboot flash cust "
You could then press the tab key and scroll through the files in the folder.
eg: if you were to press enter with this command listed fastboot flash cust c after pressing tab it would say fastboot flash cust CUST.img
PRESS ENTER AFTER EACH COMMAND, MAKE SURE EACH ONE COMPLETES.
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
fastboot flash kernel KERNEL.img
fastboot flash vendor VENDOR.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
STEP 9 Once they've all been flashed, in CMD simply type the below command and allow the device to boot up, you can disconnect now.
fastboot reboot
If all has worked and it should have, then you will have a stock ROM of PIE on 9.0.0.190
You can then root and use your device as you see fit.
Here is the link to the said files (WHICH WILL NOT BE TAKEN DOWN )
NOTE: they actually now have, sorry

OEM is LOCKED
@mdda7
You must have an unlocked bootloader.

As I said in the guide you need OEM to be unlocked. I have no idea how you can unlock it without accessing the system. I think one version of pie locked it down but then the next one unlocked it.
Did you turn off OEM unlocking yourself?
What version are you on?
Maybe a paid service can help mate. Not sure.

OEM unlocking needs to be off mate, 108 shouldn't matter but i believe that it's the version that has the OEM greyed out.
There is a way around it but i'm not sure.
any way?

Certainly not with this method as you don't meet the pre-requisites.
That being said I suppose some kind of low level flash tool may work, like i said before a paid for service maybe?
Lets find out everything there is to know.
So your bootloader is unlocked.
Have do you have TWRP installed?
Did any of the images i've listed actually flash successfully?
Have you tried to use eRecovery? or Hi Suite (neither of these worked for me hence this guide)
Beyond that i suppose the only way would be a paid service but their pre-requisites may be the same as mine. In that case I would say you're out of luck, afaik this guide is essentially the lowest you can go. I don't believe anything will work without OEM unlocking turned on.
How do you get onto the firmware you're currently on ? 108 and what state is the phone in right now?
What works? Whats accessible?
@dladz thanks for the guide. You got me out of a jam already and this useful information to restore to stock.

Used your guide @dladz, everything flashed perfectly but on the fastboot reboot command, the PC made a noise to say the USB had disconnected as expected.
All I've got is a black screen and red flashing LED.

Weird. Not sure pal. This is what I did when I was stuck. Did you read everything and follow to the letter? A higher or same firmware?
On fastboot reboot the pc saying it's disconnected is correct. Should have come on.
Does anything ever come on screen?
Thank you, life saver!!

Which FW version did you flash? I’ve got the same on .282

As i'm still on 190 I wouldn't know this, but would it be possible that userdata isn't actually a part of the update app no more?
Seeing as it still works I would assume that is the case.
There’s a user data.app packaged with update.app, just noticed it.
In update.app I’ve got file names 11.cache.img 09.cust.img
Did you have to rename yours?

No because you're going to be picking them via fastboot anyway, I don't believe the name matters.
The ones in the update I used were not named like that IIRC.

Have you converted yours successfully? I recently did mine after trial and error, but it is now running 1.8.
Here are the steps I used.
1) I rebooted to TWRP and wiped everything and refortmatted data.
2) I then rebooted the phone to EDL from within TWRP.
3) I then started the MiFlash tool by Xiaomi, which I had downloaded to my PC.
4) I made sure the CLEAN button was selected in the lower right side.
5) I then made sure my phone was detected by selecting REFRESH.
6) I then chose the path to the 1.6 EDL file from Dimitri and selected flash.
7) After the flash was successful the phone rebooted. It took a long time for the initial bootup.
8) Once setup was complete, I rebooted to EDL and used the EDL_tool to unlock the bootloader.
9) Once unlocked, I rebooted to fastboot and booted TWRP. I then flashed Magisk.
If you want, there is a link to 1.8 that was posted by Dimitri, which you can then place on your SD card and upgrade from there. If you do upgrade to 1.8, you will need to do steps 8 and 9 again.

Sure,
You need EDL Chinese Tool, 1.6 EDL EU firmware and miflash
1. Using EDL Tool make a full EDL Backup
2. Flash EDL firmware, after that you phone will be bricked
3. Using EDT Tool unlock bootloader after this there will be a menu, select power off
4. Put the phone in EDL mode and using miflash flash the backup you made earlier
5. After restart select wipe
6. You're done
I think miflash restores just some of the files, because it takes just five minutes to do the flash
Everything is working, even updates, mine is now in 1.8 after OTA update
If you now wanna unlock the bootloader use EDT Tool no chinese.
I am looking for an "all backup of an Axon 10 4G "
China Model.
Of course without your EFS data.
I want to make a China device out of my EU device
