I have a seemingly stupid but still annoying problem. As many of you know Android 8 + EMUI 8 came out this summer and I have updated my Honor8. Everything works well, even better (especially with regard to the battery) apart from a problem, quite annoying. I have seen that everyone around complains about the same problem, so it is clear that both a build bug and not a local problem.
Basically ... the bluetooth link with the multimedia system of my car doesn't work as it should, while it worked well with the 7.0.
Tracknames, music infos disappears, sometimes it connects regularly, starting the music, sometimes nothing happens, sometimes the music passes from the car speakers to smartphone (!!)... in short, manage the music in the car It has become a big problem!
I tried all possible options; reset pairing, reset bluetooth, clear cache, activate the developer options to control some low-level aspects of bluetooth, and finally installed Bluetooth Auto Connect which also has several advanced options. Nothing works. In the meantime an update of 8.0 has been released (mine is the buiold 521). The update came out in September ... maybe (MAYBE) this update fixes all bluetooth issues (but i don't have any detailed info about). Until today I have not received any updates and normally I check new version regularly every day. At this point I decided to return to Nougat!
And here the adventure begins!
I CANNOT IN ANY WAY do the downgrade.
What I tried:
- through HiSuite. The "back to previous version" option appears random (rarely); normally the program tells me "the system is up to date". Once appeared I tried to run the procedure, but after the decompression it gives me an error "error updating".
- by standard Rollback procedure. Using a microSD and putting the full version of Nougate in the dload folder. The installation starts but stops almost immediately with the same "update cannot be applied" error.
At this point I am desperate. I cannot update Oreo, I can't go back to Nougat and meanwhile the bluetooth still doesn't work with my car. Remember that before Oreo, everything worked very well!
What can I do? Can you help me?
Thank you

Region: EU
Model: FRD-L09
Build: 8.0.0.521 (C432)
Previous Build: don't remember. It was Nougat, and I've upgraded around the first week of September. From that day I haven't received/applied any patch, because nothing appears until now.
This morning I've tried again with HiSuite. As usual it says I'm running the latest version and it doesn't offer any downgrade option .

The more you know...
Finally I've decide to try updating to 8.0.0.562. After a month of tries, fails (damn Huawei and his stupid update system), errors and a lot of other stupid things, I was finally able to update my Honor hoping the latest version will fix all the problems. It was a enormous waste of time (searching around internet)... but in the end I found a method described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/p20-pro-bricked-t3868085#4And if you go ahead you should find the correct firmware link (on a Russian site). Although, IMHO, failing with the classic method was due to the impossibility or some bugs in the update system, to unpack the update files on sdcard. So the solution seems to be to leave both the zip and the unpacked folder.The problems with bluetooth remain, but I hope that now there is not to be crazy applying next updates. ATTENTION: the method above is NOT valid for rollback! If you try, you'll brick your Honor.
And finally I've taken an important decision... for me this is the last Huawei/honor device. Next time I'll go to another brand, with a serious update system.

Once you root your device you are done... you won't make it work again, even if you revert back to stock.
But... there's a post with an alternative way to make it work. Didn't try it because I've changed my phone, but might work

I ve been trying to unlock the bootloader for a week now.
I am stuck at Developer Options > Mi Unlock status > Add account and device.
It throws up the error "Coudn't add, Device basic data authentication failed"
What could be the issue, any help / pointers will be appreciated.

I think you need to turn off wifi and enable mobile data then goto developer option and repeat the process.
Thanks, I tried but still not working.
There is no possible solution for this particular problem. We're constantly checking everyday but apparently its MIUI problem they messed up something in new update. Wait for Aug update.

This method doesn't work on newer devices, as the edl mode is locked and only accessible by opening the device's back case and shorting the edl flash point. Even after that flashing permission would be needed to flash via official mi flash tool which users can't get.

Excalibur, leave that bootloader issue first my device IMEI number is not getting verfied with the Flipkart exchange and the device exchange value is also very less its 1,680 without IMEI verified.
and then the mi suit does even recognise this device why I don't know.
And it's a 32 bit device that's a bad issue for gcam lovers too.,
Good things with this device that
Storage space 32 gb I have
(And that too this device doesn't support ExFat file system on as card)
Type C ( but its of no use without fast charging ) may be we can use this type c for audio output (again the audio drivers or hardware is of no best for orginal audio quality) you have to use mausic player like jet plus pro app to tune it .. if it's rooted then V4A viper 4 Android.

It supports 18w fast charging, you just need a fast charger to do that which doesn't come out of the box. I've been using a fast charger and it charges as quickly as rn8 pro or any other 18w supportable device.
There isn't anything wrong with the audio quality provided by the inbuilt dac, it's the same as any other phone in this price point or any devices costing even higher than this. And viper4droid does more like tuning the eq which again would be of no use if the device's dac is bad.
any update guys?

I also facing same problem brother did you find any solution or not
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.

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".

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.
Android 11 update is downloading and installing as I write this. US model. North American Retail channel.
Just sharing.
My TMO model is also getting notification for the 11 update.... but not taking it. I don't want it to kill Android Auto on my phone.

I'm not sure if it's 11 or 12 (I know 12 does for sure) that breaks AA on phone, but I'm not taking any chances - one of them or both do. This Ace is the only phone I have left with 10.
I'm having a problem with this ota update of my unrooted phone to android 11. It seems stuck at step 3 of 6.
I've seen the update process go as far as 66% of step 3 of 6 several times only for it to restart step 3 again and again. Something does not allow it to complete installing step 3. Internet has been available throughout.
Any suggestions? Is there another way to update?
Researching the web for why the android 11 is not installing on my phone I discovered all the bugs that the moto android 11 update apparently introduces. So I guess I'm lucky the update did not take. I turned off smart updates and will wait to see if and when Moto will get its act together.

It will probably show by now (3 days later). I had the same thing after an unintentional upgrade to 11, but that cleared after only a day when I connected to the Internet again. But apparently the typical wait time is 3 days. (EDIT/ADD) If it still isn't showing, try a reboot.
FYI (all), this phone CAN be downgraded back to Android 10 -- with an UNLOCKED bootloader only. I posted my experience in this Q&A section -- by accident (oops!) so it might get moved at any time to Guides, News and Discussion. Thus I won't post a link here because it might change. If you decide you want to downgrade just look for "Downgrading Motorola One 5G Ace".
I guess I was lucky the ota 'upgrade' to 11 got stuck on step 3.
Android 10 works fine for me except for random reboots. If I find a solution for that all would be well.
