Update for l29C185Bxx

Hi all
I currently have the NXT-L29C185B162 firmware, which is specific to devices in the African region. I found at Carbontesla the firmware NXT-L29C432B170 which supposedly addresses the push notifications issue but the C432 firmware is meant for European models as far as I understand.
Would it be possible/safe to update with this firmware, or is there an equivalent update for African devices?
Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to find ANY firmware on Huawei's site for this device so its hard to know what I should be using...

NaoNative, you're a champ! Thanks mate
You wouldn't happen to know where I might find a changelog would you? I know Huawei is not exactly well known for making those public, but I'm just curious what else might have changed since B162...

This update is for system version EMUI 4.1. EMUI 4.1 optimizes the camera, battery management, and Phone Manager, and adds multi-user mode, to provide a secure and unique experience for you
[Highlights]
[Camera]
Optimized the interactive gestures, enabling you to swipe left and right to switch between the mode and settings screens
[Multi-user mode]
Added a mode, which allows multiple users to access the same app with segregated personal data and privacy protection
[Smart manager]
Added the Huawei-developed ROG power saving technology for the first time, which decreases the screen resolution to save battery power Optimized the Phone Manager, which helps you manage your device more easily and conveniently Optimized battery management, which allows you to check the battery power and battery power consumption for any period within two days Optimized traffic management to automatically add the traffic leftover from the previous month to the current month
[Home screen]
Optimized the Weather app so that it can forecast weather for each hour including the probability of rainfall Added an entry for third-party social networking apps, such as WhatsApp, eSpace, and Skype, in the contact details screen
[Communications]
Optimized the networking speed when international roaming is on Optimized the registration time when the network connection is interrupted for environmental reasons
[Update notes]
1. If some third-party apps are incompatible with EMUI 4.1, update them to their latest versions from Google Play Store 2. Your home screen layout may be rearranged slightly 3. This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating. If you experience any issues during the update, please call the customer service hotline for support 4. If you are not satisfied with the new update, you can roll back to EMUI 4.0. Your personal data will be erased during the rollback. For details, please call the customer service hotline

...and thats only the changelog coming from B180

Very nice man, I noticed a few of those after upgrading, also noticed some slight changes to the UI animations and the pop sound for volume adjustments has changed (better in my opinion)
Pity the multiuser mode doesn't work if you have SD card as default storage...
Otherwise, I like what I see so far. Did in-place upgrade using the phone dialer method for local update, so it kept all my stuff. Gonna attempt root tomorrow, will see how that goes

Can I download the firmware through my phone and update it just like that or do I have to download it on a laptop first?

Either method would work, I used my laptop as my internet connection had been a bit dodgey so used a download manager. The file has to be stored in the root of either your internal memory or on your SD card in a folder named "dload"
You can then either do the 3 button reset (this wipes your data so make sure you have backup 1st) or you can do local upgrade (this retains your data but do a backup 1st just in case,) but that's no longer an option in the settings menu, there's a code you have to dial to bring it up. Found it somewhere around here before but can't remember it now...
Edit: code to be entered in the phone dialler is *#*#2846579#*#*
Option 4 to to update

So I finally got around to attempting root, flashed the B320 in twrp and SuperSU after, it rooted successfully but problem is now I got no Huawei Swype, no options for setting the lock screen style, and I noticed the Huawei backup app was missing (at least it's on play store though so I could restore my backup).
Anyone know where I went wrong as those things were definitely there before?
Note somewhere along the lines I did flash a decrypted boot.IMG but I don't know if flashing the rom in twrp would overwrite that or not, or even if it causes what I'm experiencing

How to install emui 8.0

I've read on internet that is possible to install EMUI 8.0 on Huawei P9 through the use of HiCare (but in my phone doesn't work).
This is the step:
Launch the HiCare app. You will be notified to set a location or region.
Set the location to China or Chinese.
The selection is mostly right above Hong Kong option.
Now provide proper permissions.
HiCare app detects your location automatically.
When prompted, do not change the location back to your own country.
Once setup, go to HiCare main page. Let it download necessary content for your device.
Once done, you will be get a new firmware update.
Most likely the latest Android 8.0 Oreo.
Anyone know if it's possible to do?

Never seen or heard that changing location for HiCare makes it possible to change the cust (AFAIK, changing location in HiCare is about getting local support, customizing Gallery App and its content, and about HiCloud).
Changing cust for firmwares requires to have unlocked Bootloader and to flash/change the oeminfo.
Besides, even when you make it and upgrade to Chinese Oreo, mobile connection will not work without flashing the needed network patch.
So forget doubtful YT and who-knows-where Internet 'guides', here on XDA you have a thread (with large and active community) devoted to rebranding to the Chinese Oreo AL10c00b540, with instructions and resources how to fix the modem (network patch), Magisk/rooting, and even to add Face Unlock (that does not come with stock Chinese Oreo)

I'm not talking about HiCloud but I'm talking about HiCare. It's two different software, but I doubt that this method works.

I wrote above that changing location through HiXXXX apps affect what you get through those apps (and IMO, you don't change location separate per each HiXXXX app, but once for all), but that all that has absolutely nothing with changing cust for firmware.
And I know very well what is HiCloud and HiCare....
However, HWOTA7 method as here on XDA (link in the previous answer) does work
PS: If you take time and read OP insrructions in that thread, you will see that rebranding is not that 'easy' as it would be by declaring your Hong Kong residency. Even when you change cust and download and install the Chinese Oreo firmware, you still need some adaptations (network patch) to get it work on the mobile networks outside of China
Writing you all this from such a rebranded P9 with the Chinese Oreo, hence knowing very well about the matter

You must have done something wrong.
The method worked for everybody else, many, many people from elsewhere, both on L09 and L19, and starting from different cXXX ( just look into the thread how many participants)
If you still want to do it, better describe what did you do (by points in its OP post #2) and by which point it 'fails' for you.
And it would be more effective to post for such help in the thread, there will be better chance to get an accurate answer

not working in iran
Thank you for information but this method is not working on Iran.
after change location and try to download wrote your system is up to date but my android is 7 not 8.

Method does not depend pn your location.
You must only have access to Internet to download all files you will need, as precisely described:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77161313&postcount=2
If you don't receive OTA Patch02, just skip, it's not crucial.
Everything else you download and install by yourself, hence you cannot be blocked by Huawei by your loxation.
However, you will need to download about 2,5 GB or so of files

Hi. I need to ask. What does this mean? Does this include Play Store? Is it a global version?
Or is it just another Chinese ROM?

I would install it but my fear is to loose all data and settings.
Did anyone installed it?

Does anyone know how to unroot the terminal?
When local updating to 3.05, the terminal will brick.

How to install Android 9
I've installed it the following way.
Downloaded the new android version to my Nubia X.
Started localupdate via phone --> settings --> update --> localupdate.
Android 9 installed automatically without problems. Your phone should now be unrooted.
Now you need the Root-toolkit for v3.05 --> works only in windows :/
Connect your phone via usb in fastbootmode (you need to activate usb-debugging before)
Execute the root toolkit v3.05
can't post the link, somebody else have to do it.
a window opens --> close it (can't read chinese language)
another window should open --> klick on root.
wait after "success" appears.
Your phone should be restarting.
I'm using android 9 on my nubia x since a month and its working way better then android 8.
I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.
I give no guarantee

Yeah I'm also looking for a solution how to remove this ****ty nubia voice and replace it with google.

Yeah it could be nice to replace it with Google assistant

I would install Android 9 but my fear is to loose all configurations, permissions, etc and It will take long time to reconfigure every thing.
My question is : is it really worth to install it or there are more or less the same performance?

Anyone knows if nubia X will have final android 9?

Guys!! I know this sounds stupid but I have no "update" option in my settings!! Please help if you know what is going on with my new Nubia X!

Download the rom for Android 9, got to settings -> "System update", then from the menu up, select "Local update".
No issues with 3.05 - works fine, nothings from the apps, data or setting is flushed. But the phone is unrooted and you need to process it again.
But recently I have updated it from 3.03 to 3.11 and I can't find the root tool.
Anyone has idea where to find it?
Thanks.

3.11 play store
Looking allsou the rooting tool for 3.11. Needed play store.

X2 Pro - Chinese version living in the EU (regrouped Questions and Answers)

Hello Guys,
So i'm new to Oppo, but an old wolf within these corridors.
I have some questions for you crazy people who bought the Chinese DUAL sim version of the Oppo Find X2 Pro.
I went through all the threads, read them and there are some inconsistent answers. So i will post my questions (feel free to ask me to add more) and will update the orginal post with the answers you will give me - so this helps new comers.
1. Does Google Playstore work?
-Confirmed working
2. Does Google Pay work?
-Confirmed working
3. Does Google assistant work?
-Apparently yes, but the "Hey Google" voice detection apparently is grayed out and doesn't work (Need more confirmation on this also)
- Works with issues or extra application
4. Do Gsuite applications work?
-Normally they should as Oppo is not blacklisted like Huawei and runs GMS. But could someone confirm please.
5. Do third party launchers work (without ADBing "pm" the orignal launcher) ?
- NEED CONFIRMATION - but apparently not
- Confirmed not working
6. Does 5G / 4G work?
Apparently a forum member living in Italy says it works fine, but found that some 5G bands are not present in the Chinese version. Please reply yes or no and on which carrier you are and which country.
- NEED MORE CONFIRMATIONS
7. Does WifiCalling and / or VoLTE work? And if they do /don't please write down your carrier/country
-NEED CONFIRMATION
8. Can you force install the Global ROM onto the Chinese Phone (important point here)?
-Still waiting to see if that is possible. Waiting to get confirmation from people who tried / succeeded / failed please
- Waiting on results
9. Can you unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
-Only answers i could find were : yes and no, bootloader not yet unlockable, TWRP working... very confusing.
9. Apparently you can't use an app like Textra or other to replace the Stock SMS app (who uses SMS anyhow, right? but still an interesting point).
-Anyone?
10. Looking for tutorials on how to use MEMStool, QPST, etc... anyone know of any so i can link them here? Coming from Samsung, Oneplus, etc could be handy
- Anyone?
11- Autostart of more than 5 untrusted applications? asked by @yarik88
Has anyone won this limitation? This is very important, as it affects notifications from third-party applications. And without autorun, calls are not accepted in some messengers that are not indicated by Oppo as trusted.
You can give permission to the application to autostart related applications, therefore, perhaps there is a program (something like an autostart manager) giving it the right to autostart, it will already launch the application that you specify in it. But so far I have not found one and these are my assumptions
12. Anything else?
Thanks for your feedback and help.

I can come back to you on the other questions for but for now I bought mine from Wonda. Google Play was pre installed and works fine (I had a P40 Pro before so I know about Play Store not working fully!)
Google Pay works without issue. The app is stable and have used all my cards to pay using NFC.
Google assistant works once when you set it up, then it takes itself out of settings. I use the Google Voice Search app instead (I only use mine to set timers etc). All my other Google apps work fine, maps gmail etc.
4G works fine, I have the option for 5G in the menu but don't have a 5G sim to test. No option in the menu for VoLTE/WIFI calling it seems.

Flashing Global ROM needs more testers
8. Can you force install the Global ROM onto the Chinese Phone (important point here)?
All attempts to flash the Global (CPH) software on a Chinese (PDEM) phone were unsuccessful so far, however, it seems that all these people (claiming a failure while flashing) are members of the Beta program.
My friend with an Oneplus phone reports the same behaviour (the phone just won't let you flash an older firmware), furthermore, one Beta user here reported that now he can not even flash the original PDEM software while getting the same error message (The installed version is lower than current).
tl;dr
So there is a solid chance that all of this has nothing to do with Global/Chinese ROM, we just need users who AREN'T in the Beta program to test the ROM.

The same ROM decrypted from .ozip to .zip for those who want to play with it: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjPo24k0toyl0VJOap14txM-W3Nl?e=ePbq9I

While I've got you here, can you please see if you can install Nova launcher or lawn chair... Just to see if third party launchers work.
Thanks!!!

I think the same with all Chinese rom phones, there isn't an option to set another launcher. Yes you can download them and they appear but once you close an app it reverts back to stock. Just tried and no it doesn't set as home launcher (Lawnchair 2 anyway).

SO only way is to adb and uninstall the orginal launcher...thanks for confirming.

Just a last question, are you willing to test the global ROM on your phone for the community? As all whom tested it , were trying on beta program and couldn't make it happen as stated by Killer007 above.

11- Autostart of more than 5 untrusted applications?
Has anyone won this limitation? This is very important, as it affects notifications from third-party applications. And without autorun, calls are not accepted in some messengers that are not indicated by Oppo as trusted.
You can give permission to the application to autostart related applications, therefore, perhaps there is a program (something like an autostart manager) giving it the right to autostart, it will already launch the application that you specify in it. But so far I have not found one and these are my assumptions.

Blazingly fast phone, with almost unlimited RAM... and they limit autostart to 5.
Bizarre (theres that buzzword again!)

I don't get this thing of autostart... Are you telling me that this phone with 12gb of ram...limits 5 applications? Meaning if you have mail, WhatsApp, telegram, calendar , or other apps you need notifications for you are limited to 5 apps max??!!?
Please elaborate...I'm having a hard time believing this. Seems worst than Huawei's app killer...

8. Can you force install the Global ROM onto the Chinese Phone (important point here)?
All attempts to flash the Global (CPH) software on a Chinese (PDEM) phone were unsuccessful so far, however, it seems that all these people (claiming a failure while flashing) are members of the Beta program.
My friend with an Oneplus phone reports the same behaviour (the phone just won't let you flash an older firmware), furthermore, one Beta user here reported that now he can not even flash the original PDEM software while getting the same error message (The installed version is lower than current).
tl;dr
So there is a solid chance that all of this has nothing to do with Global/Chinese ROM, we just need users who AREN'T in the Beta program to test the ROM.

ItsIt's very similar to this.
This is Oppo's worst idea. I don't understand how they think in China, forbidding the user to use his phone. Just the thought that there are so many ad notifications from apps to take this step.
You have the "Manage autorun" setting in it on top of the list of trusted applications from installed (I have Instagramm, Skype, Telegramm, Whatsapp, Vk, Facebook) I think there are more, but here OPPO decides which applications to consider trusted.
Apps from this list do not affect the 5 apps limit.
And below is a list of all the other apps installed on your phone. And you can select Only 5 applications that have been autorun.
Notifications from applications that don't have autorun permission come in very badly, usually only when you start the application itself. But sometimes they break through, too, but not always.
For example, a SIGNAL messenger without autorun does not receive call notifications and becomes useless, you can get within an hour notifications that you missed a call.

Now that's devastating to hear. Considering previously mentioned cases it should have allowed you to flash it... I'm speechless and saddened.
May I at least, out of pure misery, ask you which tool did you use to flash the ROM?

That's nuts....

On a side note, I went to a local store to.see the single SIM version, and we looked inside...and there were connectors for 2 SIM cards...so my question now is : if we hack the card, and able to put two sims inside...is there a way to change the system for it to work with 2 Sims...

Other tools for flashing stock firmware

Thank you for your hard work! You deserve some sort of donation at this point.
To save your time, avoid the latest (4th) method (QPST) - files the application requires for flashing are not located in the Oppo's Global ROM.

I guess a lot of people are waiting on you :laugh::fingers-crossed:
Great job for the community. fingers, toes , everything crossed to see if it works.
BUT i still beleive that there is a way to hack the dual sim for single sim international phones, which in a way would be much better.

How To Guide Install Xiaomi EU, IN, ID ROMs instead of Global without Unlocking Bootloader!

This Guide is for any Xiaomi device with any 'Stock ROM'. Please do the following steps carefully, especially from step 7 to the last step:
Check the current MIUI version on your device, and to do this do the following:
Go to settings> About phone> you will find the version number next to MIUI Version.
You will need to download the same version, so go to the XiaomiRom website.
In the search box above, type your phone’s name, and download the ROM version with the same number you have.
You must make sure that the ROM you are downloading is Recovery version and not Fastboot and it is the same version that is currently on your phone
Now, following the same steps, download the appropriate Indonesian (ID), or European (EU) ROM for your phone with any version number you want but it must be the same Android version.
For example: If you currently have Android 11, the other ROMs must also be Android 11 as well
Now you have two files, the global ROM which is the same as your current version, and the Indonesian ROM that you want to flash.
Go to Settings app > About phone > System updates. Now by pressing the three points above list select the phrase “choose the update package” or the Select Update , the Package .
In case you don’t see this option, simply click on the MIUI logo for 10 consecutive clicks, then the option will appear.
Now, you will choose your “current” official Xiaomi ROM and a message will appear: Your phone will restart automatically with the button: Reboot and update, Leave it and don’t click on it now and leave this page as it is and don’t close it!.
Go to the home screen > file manager > Downloads > then go to the official ROM file that you chose in the previous step and copy its current name “long click with the option to rename and then copy the file name”.
Did you copy the name of the global ROM version? Now delete it!
Again, go to the Indonesian ROM file you downloaded, and rename it, then paste the name of the ROM you copied in the previous step, and do not forget that the file extension is .zip for one time and not duplicated.
Now, go back to the page that I told you not to clos in step 7 and hit the restart and update button.
Now, the phone will reboot, and start installing the Indonesian ROM or any other ROM you downloaded in the first steps on your instead of the global one.
So, what have we done here?! Simply, starting from step 7, the phone told us that we will install the global version of the ROM, so at the same time the system Decrypt it to find out the data of the Zip file of the ROM that you chose, and thus the OS skipped here the stage of making sure that this version is compatible with your current phone.
Then, in step 9 and step 10 we deleted the ‘System Approved’ ROM and renamed the Indonesian ROM to the same name as the ROM the phone approved in Step 7 – so the phone went straight to it since it’s the same name.

Pls answer, somebody test this method? Is it safe? I have 12.5.3 eu rom and I want change to 12.5.5 global

Yes it is safe. But I used this method to downgrade from 12.5.5 Global to 12.0.4 global. As there are news that MIUI 12.5.5 is causing an issue and people's devices are getting hard bricked suddenly.

Thank you in advance, I'm new on this forum. Doing this process, do you lose any data?
Thanks

thank you.will i loose any data?i want to go ID for enable call record

Is google play certification passes with this method? Are Playstore and other google apps work after switching Rom's area for instance Global to Indonesia or EU?

If it helps anyone who comes to this thread and interested in the answer: I Switched from 12.5.7 Global to 12.0.3 Indonesian rom. After restart a data wipe was needed. I haven't signed in any google account yet but google play protection says that my device is certified.

I have 12.5.4(RJUEUXM) EEA, could I flash 12.5.7(RJUMIXM) Global using this method? I assume so, but my question is, will it need a full wipe?
Also, can I flash a xiaomi.eu recovery using this method, or is it silly to even consider it?

I installed MiUI 12.5.4.0 indonasian on my Global Poco X3 pro after unlocking bootloader. And now I have Upgraded it to MiUI 12.5.7 Global using this method. By doing this, my data was not erased. Everything seems to be working but after few hours I noticed that some apps e.g SMS is not opening. I am resetting my device now as I have already backed up my data.
Thanks for tutorial. Munchy's video helped a lot as well.

My phone with Android 10 and also MIUI 12.0.5 and I want to change to ROM MIUI 12.5 and Android 11 can I change or not?

I try to go from Global_V12.5.4.0.RJUEUXM to xiaomi.eu_multi_POCOX3Pro_V12.5.7.0.RJUMIXM but it didn'r work for me.
Boot locked here.
