Hi guys,
I am new here, recently i got to know that TA-1000 is a Chinese only version and was supposed to be in China only, but somehow i got it and wasn't able to update. It was stuck on April 1st, and now it is on September 1st.
I followed a procedure by a Russian guy on this forum. I must say this site is amazing. So i made a video out of it.
Well i am not sure if i can post the video tutorial link here in the forum. Let me know if i can and i'll send you the link to do it very easily.
Looking forward.
Thanks
Mavrik

After the Hard Reset (which will delete pre-installed unnecessary apps), will I get the previous UI (swipe up to get to Main Menu)?
I can confirm that it works on Nokia 6 TA-1000. In my case I had the phone connected to the PC already when I had the flash tool open. And when I turned it off to prepare for flashing the firmware it automatically switched to Download Mode. But the GUI is changed after that. No more swipe up menu and the items in the pull down menu are way too big now.
You can install Pixel Launcher that have swipe up function.
I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/development/nokia-6-official-firmware-mena-region-t3664441 and flashed the nokia 6 ROM linked there.
Result:
1. My phone is no longer identified as TA-1000, but as TA-1025 instead.
2. It updated itself (OTA) all the way from 7.1.1 June 2017 (through July, August, September, October, November patches) and ended as 7.1.2 November 2017 patch.
Warning:
Your mileage may vary. My phone went through few ROM flashes described below and the end result can not be guarantied.
My phone is dual SIM, 4GB RAM, 32GB storage without NFC - definitely Chinese version.
History:
I purchased the Chinese (mainland) Nokia 6 in May.
The phone came with some weird (custom) ROM without update function but with Google apps. The ROM was so messed that location services didn't work properly so applications like G maps, gett and even tinder were not able to detect device location.
I followed this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/development/problem-firmware-nokia-6-ta-1000-t3640667 to flash slightly modified global ROM with stock Android 7.1.1. It still missed the update and some minor issues like DOLBY not working.
Then I followed this thread to flash the original TA-1000 ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/nokia-6-ta-1000-september-update-t3679882 and it went to stock locked Chinese ROM that updated (OTA) to December 2017 security patch.
It was still awful experience with custom locked apps without option to replace some of them.
So I just followed that thread, and flashed the ROM for nokia 6. I Ignored the warning about different phone model and continued.
Everything seems to be working just fine (none of the issues I encountered with other ROMs).

I really like what you have done. I also have a TA-1000 with the December patch but in 7.1.1. I had thought of flashing another rom many times, but they say that in that case it is no longer updated by OTA. If you say that OTA really works, I'm going to decide to flash it.
I also would like to know if location services are working ? With Google play update (I'm in France) I have region issue I think. When I bought it in July I had Google location history working. After some time and a Google play services update it stop working by disabling it. And share location is not showed anymore in location settings. And location history is greyed and locked. Everything is on in Google settings, I tried another account flash the phone with original firmware and as soon as I install Google play it updates it self and lock location history. It works on a ta-1033 but in France ta-1000 won't work.
I tried to cheat on GPS settings, not using my French SIM card and on. But still it disable itself.
So does flashing ta-1025 solves this issue ? ta-1025 is the Indian version ?

Share your results. OTA worked just fine. The phone updated itself (OTA) all the way from July to November patches.

TA-1025 is MENA (Middle East / North Africa) version. AFAIK, the difference between versions is in the radio bands.
My location history works perfectly fine as well as every other application using location services.

In this case, I need a European ROM for flashing. Radio band is not the same that MENA version.

The ROM has nothing to do with radio bands. It's the HW difference.
For example TA-1000 does not have NFC and no ROM will fix it.
The ROM that linked in my post is for TA-102x and TA-103x.
There will be no difference in functionality between international ROMs. Only Chinese is different.
Well, I shall try then to install the ROM . As I have the Chinese version I guess it will disable NFC, and may be led support ? I will post the result next week here ASAP.
Then I will install the rom ta-102x in my ta-1000. Cross our fingers
It has worked!!! Thank you very much!!! Now I have a fully operational TA-1025, which has all the updates down to 7.1.2 by OTA. I had been thinking about flashing another ROM for a long time, but I did not dare if OTA updates failed.
I only find a defect. the apps of the Chinese version have disappeared. There is no backup app, gallery, or music. They have been replaced by google. Is it possible to get the apps from the Chinese version?

It's not a defect, it's a blessing
The launcher is still some semi custom version.
If you are interested in Chinese apps, you should probably flash the TA-1000 ROM from this thread - it has all the custom apps including contacts, phone, calendar, music etc.
A small update: today I've got the December 2017 security patch was really hopping to see Oreo update which was promised to land this year.

Hello sir, I found ur post is interesting, I would like ask some questions if I may:
1. Which ROM I need to download, the one in the first page of this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/development/nokia-6-official-firmware-mena-region-t3664441) or other pages? Since currently that thread have 49 pages so I confused which one I should download.
2. After download the ROM and flash it with OST Tool, the apps and data will be wiped out? Is it required to do a hard reset? Currently I have TA-1000 which at December Updates and since I flashed to the original chinese stock ROM I never do hard reset and working with my old data and apps just fine until.
3. Have you try the beta labs to try the Oreo update? Since right now TA-1000 model is unable to register. If like u said that the ROM could change the registered variant (from TA-1000 to TA-10xx) then probably it could pass the beta labs verification.
Looking forward for ur respose, if anyone would also like to help pls reply this message. Thank you.
How come I couldn't get any update for my phone?
I've tried to check update via three dots method and via HiSuite as well. I've been waiting since August 2018.
I'm confused with so many methods to update and quite concerned with custom firmware of not being able to use Banking apps.
Me too. I did not receive any update since August 2018 and i am still waiting Oreo,
Bump. Still no update. Disappointing Huawei. Never buy Huawei product ever again
Here in Italy we only got Oreo B562 and October security patches. Now the device wouldn't receive any update since Official Software support is gone.
Hi guys
I wanted to update the phone to Android 10, but seems like officially there is no such update for this model (MAR-LX1M EEA C431)
However, on FF, i spotted an update to the EMUI 10 but it's for the C432 despite the build model name it's the same I got (L21MEA). So my question is: It's possible to install it without any risk of brick? And also, Should I make a backup of the oeminfo?
Btw my phone it's full stock so no unlocked bootloader or root whatsoever
Open app 'Support' and in there click 'Updates'
There is no Update thing in the support section oh myHuawei
Also even if I check Hisuite and the software update it says the phone is at the latest update (9.1.0.426)
