Recent Android 10 update fixed support for TA-1054 hardware, so we can do global conversion right now. Anything older will break the phone and you have to disassemble the phone and utilize EDL to unbrick it (test point indicated below).
Therefore, we have to install Android 10 directly, but for some reason, the bootloader will be reverted back to locked state, so it has to be unlocked again via some tricks.
This guide will tell you how to install Android 10 into TA-1054. If you don't have unlocked bootloader, you have to unlock it first.
If you don't have unlocked bootloader, you may need to look for Global conversion service online.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU DO SO.
Step 1: Change SKUID
To change SKUID, you need to ensure your phone is rooted, or your phone booted to TWRP (official TWRP for Nokia 6.1 is OK to use) to allow us change SKUID written in deviceinfo partition.
If you booted to TWRP via these commands under Download mode:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-PL2_sprout.img
Once phone booted to TWRP (even if stuck at splash screen is OK), then you can dump the devceinfo and securefs partition:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/deviceinfo of=/tmp/deviceinfo.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/securefs of=/tmp/securefs.img
adb pull /tmp/deviceinfo.img
adb pull /tmp/securefs.img
The reason why I suddenly mentioned securefs partition is, it contains Widevine DRM key that related to video-on-demand services like Netflix.
You have to back it up just in case.
Then follow this guide to edit SKUID written in deviceinfo into 600WW:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/guide-how-to-change-skuid-to-worldwide-t3808520
Once SKUID changed, write the deviceinfo partition back:
Code:
fastboot flash deviceinfo deviceinfo_600WW.img
After SKUID changed, you'll find the launcher becomes weird, which is expected behavior.
Step 2: Install Android 10 full OTA
Please download it from here:
https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../c6260831df0acdfe9828f18bcea7ffb556f4b2e5.zip
And rename it into PL2-9999-0-00CN-B99-update.zip. Copy it to root directory of internal storage, and dial *#*#874#*#* to install it.
Once install complete, you might be asked for erasing userdata, just erase it.
Step 3: Unlock bootloader again (optional)
If you think it's OK to use Android 10 without unlocked bootloader, then that wraps up the procedure and enjoy it.
But if you want to unlock the bootloader again, you have to follow some trick.
Once the phone booted to welcome screen again, power it off, boot to Download mode by using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem alive
And connect the powered off phone to PC, it will be booted to Download mode again.
Next, check which slot is Android 10 installed:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
If current-slot is A, execute this:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b reboot-bootloader
If current-slot is B, execute this:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a reboot-bootloader
Once slot changed, you'll be switched back to the previous version with unlocked bootloader.
Now you have to downgrade the abl/xbl to allow it being unlockable again.
Now check which slot is Chinese Nokia 6.1 Android build installed:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
If current-slot is A, execute these:
Code:
fastboot flash abl_b C1N-0-0430-abl_service.elf
fastboot flash xbl_b C1N-0-0430-xbl_service.elf
fastboot --set-active=b reboot-bootloader
If current-slot is B, execute these:
Code:
fastboot flash abl_a C1N-0-0430-abl_service.elf
fastboot flash xbl_a C1N-0-0430-xbl_service.elf
fastboot --set-active=a reboot-bootloader
Both C1N-0-0430-abl_service.elf and C1N-0-0430-xbl_service.elf can be obtained from https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/hmd_en.html#c1n (extract it from C1N-0-0430-0-00CN-B05 firmware).
Then you can unlock the bootloader again with what you have done before:
Code:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
(confirm bootloader unlock on the phone)
(while waiting for erasing, execute this immediately)
fastboot oem alive
fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
fastboot oem unlock-go
(confirm unlock again)
(while waiting for erasing, execute this immediately)
fastboot oem alive
After we unlocked the bootloader, we have to switch back to previous Chinese Nokia 6.1 Android build to reinstall Android 10.
Check which slot is Android 10 installed:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
If current-slot is A, execute this:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b reboot
If current-slot is B, execute this:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a reboot
Repeat the step 2 to reinstall Android 10 Full OTA, and enjoy Android 10 on Chinese Nokia 6.1 with unlocked bootloader.
Under Android 10, if bootloader unlocked, you'll lose Widevine DRM key permanently, that's why I asked you to backup securefs partition.
Is the shorting wires solution to unbrick the phone or to change china to global version?

Is your phone already bricked? Then shorting the pins will trigger EDL mode and then you can use Qualcomm tools to flash the abl and xbl. That can make the phone usable again, but yes you will still need to flash the CN firmware as Global will not be usable on this device.
help
hello i tried shortening all 4, or one of the 2 sets but it did not trigger EDL, my phone is stuck in Download mode as soon as it turns on, my pc only recognizes it as Fastboot device, my bootloader is locked, i have the exact same model, can you help me??
Could you please clarify:
is it possible to install PL2-410C-0-00WW-B03 on TA-1054 China Version , i.e. convert it into Android 10 Global Version? So it is impossible to install earlier global versions, but it is possible to install PL2-410C-0-00WW-B03?
Thank you.

Yes, but remember to change SKUID to 600WW before installing PL2-410C-0-00WW-B03.
Also, flash PL2-410C-0-00WW-B03 into bootloader unlocked TA-1054 will revert the bootloader back to locked state, you have to unlock it again with some trick, will talk about that later.
If you use some flashing tool that can elevate like NTool, just go ahead and flash PL2-410C firmware.

Hmm... Is it possible to change SKUID for this phone with locked bootloader?
I know, for some other phones it could be done using fastboot command like this:
fastboot oem CustomerSKUID set 600WW
but I'm not sure that this method is applicable to TA-1054. I checked the command CustomerSKUID:
fastboot oem CustomerSKUID get
and it is unknown.
Do you know any easy way to change SKUID without unlockng / rooting?
What will happen if I try to flash PL2-410C-0-00WW-B03 without SKUID changing?
Actually, the main reason to update the phone is the problem with mobile internet. My local mobile operator SIM does't allow to use it, but the voice service works OK. When I set this SIM to another phone, internet works, when I set SIM of another operator to TA-1054 - it works again. So, certain operator internet settings and settings in chinese ROM are different. I suppose, it is required to change bands modes or something like this, but I dont't know the real reason of this issue.
Maybe you could give me an advice about this internet problem, so I don't need to update phone to global ROM at all.

If you don't have some special flashing utility (requires USB dongle), you cannot change SKUID without unlocked bootloader.
You can search about global conversion service remotely which could be paid.
Install global firmware with mismatch SKUID will cause the OS itself buggy, many feature missing and cannot pass Google Play Certification.

Hello, EveryoneMy Nokia 6.1 2018 Hmd Global TA-1054 with Build number - 00WW_3_270 will receive a global system update and security update. Will this method described above work for me? So you will get a global version of version 10 or have to wait. My latest security fix for Android is from October 1, 2018. Can you explain in detail what steps to take to make the updates.

I've done the in-depth test and it's on the Fastboot screen but when I type fastboot flashing unlock in a command window it just shows me the help text for fastboot, which doesn't show any command or option for either flashing or unlock, so how can I get it to work if those aren't valid commands?
fastboot devices shows my phone, so the device is recognised.
EDIT: I'm still on Android 9 A.15. I understand that there's no unlocked for Android 10 yet.
EDIT: Nevermind. I was using adb/fastboot from the link in this guide, which is v1.3 https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-root-realme-5i-and-unlock-bootloader/
After I updated to minimal v1.43 from here it worked https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool
My problem was same. But i successfully downgrade to color os 6. I guess you can try it too.
Enable USB Debugging and Allow unlock boot loader option in USB debugging.
Connect your mobile with PC and use following Command.
adb reboot bootloader
fastbook flashing unlock
Check mobile for unlock option.
How did you downgraded to colour os 6?

Recently rooted my new Zenfone 7. Is it possible to remove Bootloader unlocked Warning message at the start up of the system? Thanks for an answer.
re-lock the bootloader
Boot into fastboot, then send this command from your pc.
fastboot oem asus-lock
how did you get root to work? I followed the instructions listed and it would not work for me.
I followed the instructions there: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-for-asus-zenfone-7-series.4161719/ in fastboot mode you should update android drivers manually through device manager to get it work otherwise you'll get " waiting on device " error and it won't flash TWRP.
Is it possible to remove Bootloader unlocked warning without re-locking device though?

Why? Unless you plan on overwriting TWRP, there is no benefit to having it unlocked all the time. TWRP will still work after it is re-locked. and you can unlock it again via the app anytime you need to update.

What is TWRD? either use Riru 25.4.4 and EdXposed with older Magisk, or LSPosed with latest Magisk.
