Glory III and P6 did not much difference, as we all know, then this update to P6 118, is not it really a real REC it? Let us wait and slowly,

does this update work on European (Hsdpa/Umts-Phones)?
And ... is it really decrypted ..
if it is It would be a reason to downgrade from B122 to B118

If someone tries and gets a failed update, they might have to unroot first. Some chatter on that on Chinese forums.

I installed this. Haven't had enough time to explore everything, but there are some things added. Antutu results are as usual.

Install via soft update and you will have GAPPS. I just did it and everything from B122 works here too.
ps - Asphalt 8 and Nova 3 are working without any lag /these games are lagging awful in B122/! First impressions are that the battery is optimized too! Great!

Apparently this ROM B118 China, finally we have fully unlocked the bootloader of the loader.

How did you update, and from which version of firmware are you updating?
@amonev, did you do a factory reset before, or after, doing the soft update?
I've been struggling to download this since last night already, otherwise I'd already have updated by now.

Hi !
After installing the new B118 , I can see this when I try to install an UPDATE.APP :
HUAWEI SDCARD&USB UPDATE AGENT VERSION 2.0
This phone is secureboot phone.
This phone is LOCK state.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and also :
> fastboot oem get-bootinfo :
...
( bootloader ) unlocked
OKAY [0.608s]
finished. total time : 0.608s

So this means its fully unlocked, just the update agent gives false info about it being in the LOCK state?

Yes, bootloader was always unlocked ! only agent loaders check signature for all partitions , and we can not install anything without Huawei signature !
When you check > fastboot oem get-bootinfo :
if you will see < waitng for device > : you should uninstall this driver with yellow triangle from Device Manager " android sooner single adb interface " and reconnect device in fastboot mode !

So basically the update did nothing? Appearantly the chinese already made a recovery that they call a "true recovery" probably overwrites the built-in recovery in the recovery.img, which I believe should be able to flash everything without the need for a signature from hw

To be able to flash recovery.img on /recovery partition you need a signed image ! ... so it seems that they managed to sign this recovery image ...
But the question is : can we rewrite this recovery images ? or maybe we will have access to the second partition recovery ....

That recovery was supposedly used for the unlocked Honor 3.
The following is the post by Riyou:
update from the official journal of view, B118 changes are not large, in fact, B118 has allowed unsigned mirror normal programming (ie our own modified boot. img, recovery.img, not after Huawei signed a special tool for image files), you can create a real civil society after the recovery or any modified boot.img, and for the sentence we are easy to understand, then it is already unlocked P6 B118 BL (actually no lock from the beginning, just to do a signature image file checksum)
Well, the first thing to "unlock BL" is produced after a third-party recovery, I have tested the glory of 3 recovery available (author ATX Team Dragon big stars), I tested the Unicom version, mobile and telecom version not yet measured, guess available
Note: Brush recovery on the premise that you must brush B118, best brush complete package

2013.11.29 16: 00 Again update:
1, corrected version v2 data can not boot after clearing the problem (is unique because of Huawei cust partition)
Note: If you have now is not switched on, in the off state, press the volume + volume down + power, the phone will enter my v2 version recovery. And then manually copy the Honor3_Recovery-v3.zip to TF card, brush will enter into the new version of the recovery. This method applies only to situations brush after clearing data recovery v2 version unbootable.
2, v2 version can not directly fix problems with my brush MIUI complete package.
2013.11.29 update:
1, fix the problem can not enter shutdown mode charging
Precautions (deadline 2013.11.28):
1, bottom package must be 118, so that is unlocked, otherwise inaccessible recovery after the brush into the exe
2, provided is a key tool for the implementation of the windows you can double-click 3, before the individual is not fit for MIUI use this recovery (of course, a complete package can use this to brush in.), with particular attention off charging instructions: http:// bbs.anzhi.com/thread-8581168-1-1.html download (can not boot off charge after correction and wipe):

[Custom Rom]KangVIP Rom-date (update 16.05.)closed

As always, use at your own risk!​
Because my English is not very, I can only use Google to translate. I hope it's still understandable.
This is Rome for the MT7-L09 and the Asian MT7-L10, base is the Asian. Previous experience it only runs on and the MT7 - L09. KangVIP offers to Rome but also for other versions.
prerequisite:
The boot loader must be open and installed CWM. In addition, you should the B127 MT7-L09 Western Europe or the B122SP06 installed, otherwise it will get to the bootloop.
- B121-SP02A1
- B122SP06v1.1
- B122SP06v1.2
- B123SP03
(When you first start there must be a data connection, as King User (SuperSU) is updated. Otherwise, no root!)
- B125SP01(Does not work with Vodafone!)
(Here SuperSU.zip must be installed as King user (root) is no longer in it!)
Themespatch
- B125 V2(Does not work with Vodafone!)
420DPI Patch
- B125 V2.1(Does not work with Vodafone!)
420 DPI Patch
- B126SP03(Does not work with Vodafone!)
Quelle
installation:
- The best, but not a must, you use the KangVIP CWM.
- Download Rom and the Mate7. Whether internal or external SD does not matter.
optional
- Secure with Titanium Backup everything.
- Copy the Play Store app (Phonesky.apk) from system / priv app on the memory card, as in this version lacks. Then just copy back into CWM cache and Dalvik wipen.
- Booting into the CWM and make a backup.
- Make Fatory reset.
- Now the install Zip.
- Restart the device.
Alternatively, install Google Apps:
PA_Gapps Modular Pico (35MB)
(the wichtigstens Gapps for calendar sync, PlayStore, etc.)
or
Banks Gapps on XDA
(different packages with additional Gapps)
Those coming from Rome KangVIP B121-SP02A1, it can iron directly over it. All settings and data are retained.
Who backed up with Titanium Backup can backup his (No system apps are written in red!) To play back.
The first start takes a little longer. At the first window you will have everything in Asian, patience, switches. Then there is the normal installation.
Go to Rome, for me it runs without problems.
Advantage (my opinion):
- Deodexd
- Use the Advanced Settings (unte settings) can be removed network operator name or enter another name. It is possible to change battery indicator / Hide. Clock can be centered or hidden. It is an advanced power menu available. And much more.
cons:
Do I still have not found.
To mention:
Since I'm at the Telekom I can not comment as it looks (800 Mhz) with LTE. For me, LTE is running. When choosing one can not choose anything too. I suspect that it has to do with the dual capability of the original version and probably Sim are two assigned.
The Asian contained programs, they can all be safely deleted.
Xposed (2.4.1) and modules run.
This note is that then the themes do not work!
If you want to return, simply play through CWM backup back.
My thanks go to KangVIP.

finally...
Thanks... I'll try this as soon as I got some free time... Maybe the weekend...

Better ask before ok and uncertainty.

Hi Fooox1
Here you are for the first question...
At the moment I have B130... Should I downgrade to B127?

No, 127 is the minimum requirement. Can use the 130.

It is the best rom for Mate 7
I use the month. Good job Fooox1 by topic

Can I just verified and can not be fooled by the 122 corresponds to the 127.

Thanks Fooox1. Nice to see a new rom. I 'll try it durring weekend. Curious
EDIT:
Well... I gave it a go. Easy to install with no problems. Works fine, but even if I choose English language there are a lot of Chinese things in there.
I did't notice any difference in speed. Maybe in Antutu benchmarks (but I forgot to run it).
Finally I restored my previews backup only because of the Chinese that I cannot understand

tried and...
Thanks again to fooox1 for posting instructions how to...
To be honest it's really simple and I did not found any problem to install the custom rom.
Unfortunately - as already noticed by freco - still there's a lot of Chinese stuff (probably bloatware for the largest part). More importantly the virtual keyboard it quite different as it includes (obviously) Chinese I was really in trouble to use it....
After a couple of hours, I restored the recovery backup... and I'm waiting for lollipop update
Ciao..

I can not confirm your problems unfortunately. The Chinese programs can all be deleted. When the keyboard is Google doing. Also works without hesitation. Have the Mate switched to English, also because there is no Chinese characters.
Made possible, impatient maintains her when you first start, after flashing. Here you should wait at the first window until it changes from China to the appropriate language and then set on.

Even if I changed language, restart, finish setup, restart, there are still chinese characters in several places and search boxes.
Otherwise everything works perfect.

Can you give me a position exactly, then I can check with me. The one where me is something shows up at the Apollo player, with the name. But only affects ü, ä, ß, etc.

I cannot. Sorry.
I already switched back to my older backup.

No Problem. I invite tomorrow once the high 1.2.

Yes. My mate is LT09 and I confirm you can install it whithout problem.

Question: will gravitybox work with this ROM? Xposed modules can't override the stock theme on the stock ROM at all. If Xposed modules like gravitybox work well then I'll definitely install this ROM when I get a chance

Yes, running like the Stock Rom. Nothing more, nothing less. The Rom yes the Stock base.

Thanks for sharing this. I currently use T-Mobile in the US. Have you tested the ROM with the T-Mobile carrier and do the added ADC files affect anything while using T-Mobile (VoLTE, HD Voice, etc)?
I have partially been following another forum that was working to boot loader unlock the Idol 4s for Windows 10 mobile. I don't think this ROM was a result of that, but do you know of any other news?

No, I have not tested it. I have IDOL4S Open from Microsoft.

You can mention that there is a provxml file to install Yandex.Search.appxbundle in the IDOL4S_6071W_F1052.16.09031.50700_Open_RTM_10.0.15 254.490_Custom ROM. It is not in the T-Mobile ROM though.
This is a useful scenario too for some of us who might want to Edit the registry on the IDOL 4s outside of the current changes in these ROMs. Mount the bin file save the edits and flash the changes. Do you know if making changes such as reg edits would require an altered or updated rawprogram0.xml? Thanks.

Sorry my fault. It has been a while since working with qc loaders and program xml files. For some reason I was thinking rawprogram0.xml contained the space used by the partitions not the whole partition size.

I am having an issue on the custom ROMs being able to sign in with my Microsoft account while setting up the phone. It either locks up/freezes the set up process, or fails. I think it fails while checking account info and it never pulls the backups to restore. Ultimately the account will be signed in but can only move forward after skipping the step entirely to be able to set up the rest of the phone.
Is this just me or have you noticed an issue?

It's not a bug, but a feature Only in custom ROM F1050.14.08011.53400_TMOUS_Retail. Associated with reset protection packets. They are in this firmware test. So it will be with the official ROM F1050.14.08011.53400_TMOUS_Retail, if you update it above 15063.2.

I'm sorry I did not word that so you understood. I meant why is your custom ROM set as an older firmware? The fw revision of the T-Mobile firmware is older than the official production one on most phones. I am assuming you used this version to customize a ROM for some reason.

Well yes of course! One would have their work cut out for them if they did not have to manually build those items into a ROM on their own. Was hoping maybe you had plans to incorporate those items into an updated or different firmware if possible. One that would allow restoring of a backup, and had reset protections bugs fixed . No worries about that though, was only wishful thinking.

This is already included in the custom ROM IDOL4S_6071W_F1052.16.09031.50700_Open_RTM_10.0.15254.490.

Ok I will try it out again. I thought I tried to restore a backup on Both ROMs and failed to with the same bug.
For some reason on the Open market Custom ROM the ndtk packages are not active after flashed or not working. Maybe it is just me but I can't edit the registry, enable Interop services or full file system access from Interop Tools until I send the packages again even though they are there. Plus I have to make other changes to it as well for T-mobile nvi settings.

The Open market Custom ROM should not have this error with backup recovery.

New Issues on Idol 4S using custom ROM
Installed TMOUS version of this custom ROM (Thank you OP for your efforts!) on August 8 and was delighted to uninstall the remaining VR apps. As nate0 posted earlier, I couldn't sign in during the initial setup, and was not able to restore earlier backups as expected. Phone is TMOUS retail locked (so far - longtime TMO customer awaiting billing cycles on this phone for unlock code).
Since then M$ has updated the OS build to 10.0.15254.527. Things keep breaking faster than I can keep track of - and not sure which are a function of 1) the custom ROM, 2) the Idol 4S, or 3) Microsoft desire to chase us away. New issues include:
Amazon - crashes at launch
Microsoft Wallet (v. 2.3.17311.0) - allowed me to scan 1 loyalty card successfully, then refuses to recognize/scan codes,
"CameraAccessDenied" error message
Flashlight (v. 4.0.0.0 Sakariya) - no longer can turn led on/off (Flashlight XT still works fine)
People (v. 10.2.2001.1000) - live tile stopped working after about a week, can't get it to work at all anymore
Translator (v. 4.8.7.0) - live tile works for about 1 day, then remove, disable/enable to restore function for another day
Microsoft Store - (v. 11807.1001.13.0) - live tile works for about 1 day, then same as Translator
My Library this morning shows about 1/3 of my apps that were listed last week ???

VoLTE on Q Beta 6?

Hey guys! I'm desperately trying to find a way to turn on volte on my device with my hungarian carrier Telenor Hungary. Officially, the device with Android Pie is not supported on my carrier. Perhaps on Q Beta 6?
Can someone (rooted on Q Beta 6) please check the folder below to see if it contains "Hungary" folder?
need root explorer
mbn files for Pixel 3 are in:
vendor\rfs\msm\mpss\readonly\vendor\mbn\mcfg_sw\generic\EU\Telenor\Commercial\
thx a lot

Hello, could you (or anybody else) please show me all the files in there? I'm looking for anything Czech Republic, so probably in vendor\rfs\msm\mpss\readonly\vendor\mbn\mcfg_sw\generic\EU\... There are 3 VoLTE supporting carriers in the Czech Republic: T-Mobile, O2 and Vodafone, so if there is anything about them in these files, could you please provide me with a screenshot as well? Thank you very much in advance.

I have a pixel 3 on Android 10. There are 2 mbn files on it.
1. vendor\rfs\msm\mpss\readonly\vendor\mbn\mcfg_sw\ge neric\EU\Vodafone\Volte\CZ\mcfg_sw.mbn
2. vendor\rfs\msm\mpss\readonly\vendor\mbn\mcfg_sw\ge neric\EU\DT\Commercial\CZ\mcfg_sw.mbn
Both are approx. 42 KB.
Unfortunately mbn_sw.txt file does not point to these files...

What's mbn_sw.txt? I'm new to Pixels so sorry about that. Shouldn't I be able to point it to these files with root (after I root my device)? DT is probably T-Mobile, as it is Deutsche Telekom, right? Thank you for your help so far.

Yes, DT is T-Mobile.
Mcfg_sw.mbn files are carrier-specific modem configuration files. And there's mbn_sw.txt file in vendor partition of Pixel 3. It is a list file that contains paths to mcfg_sw.mbn files, which can be loaded to EFS. Its contents depend on the Pixel 3 ROM build, so paths to mcfg_sw.mbns for czech providers should be added to current mbn_sw.txt file in /vendor/rfs/msm/mpss/readonly/vendor/mbn/mcfg_sw directory.
On Pie that modification was possible after root and with AVB 2.0/dm-verity fully disabled (ex. with Proton kernel) but on Android 10 it is impossible to manage the system partition . At least for now ...

Is it possible to downgrade to Pie, unlock bootloader, root, flash Proton kernel, edit the mbn_sw.txt file so it points to the Czech mcfg_sw.mbn, then flash the stock kernel again, lock the bootloader and upgrade to Android 10 without anything resetting the mbn_sw.txt file? Or is it due to reset when you upgrade from Pie to Q or in any other steps like locking the bootloader? Is it even possible to downgrade to Pie? Thanks a lot again.
EDIT: Or at least downgrade to Pie, unlock bootloader, root, flash Proton kernel, edit the mbn_sw.txt file so it points to the Czech mcfg_sw.mbn (and maybe then flash the stock kernel again and lock the bootloader), if upgrade to Android 10 would ruin it again? Just wanna know how far would I be able to get Thanks again.

Yes, it will ruin it. Any time vendor.img changes you need to reapply the change to the file. Only way it will work for now is if you run latest pie with the modified file. Until we can modify vendor partition on Q, you can only fix the issue with P.

Move from V11.0.3.0.PGGEUXM to V11.0.6.0.PGGMIXM, possible?

My device seems to be Europe due to the default OS that came with the device, I have never unlocked the bootloader or done changes to the ROM, however I'd like to move to Global because it's said to have differences among the EUROPE version? If so, how and if I can move to the global version?

There's a OTA for 11.0.2.0 to up to 11.0.6.0. Two ways to install:
1 via TWRP wiping dalvik cache, cache, data, system and flash.
2 regret MIUI 11.0.2.0 via fastboot like mine video:

Words of advise, just do not attempt to do anything without UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER FIRST!!
You simply cannot switch regions before taking that first preliminary step.
That's the way it goes.
Hope this helps,

I asked the same question, because i am on the global euro firmware, and my phone is not detecting my NAVIGO transit card through NFC. I was wondering if the global international was better regarding this matter.

I've moved from EEA to GLOBAL with Xiaomitool 2, it changes my firmware to 11.0.2 GLOBAL without unlocking the bootloader, and then I manually push the full upgrade through the update app. Then I restore my phone for a full restoration.
Working smooth without issues.

When I am unsure what the real differences are because I think HW is the same for both Global and Eu phones, I am pretty sure Laws regarding privacy of users are more strict in EU and there are probably some alteration of bundled software to abide with them.
Those privacy laws are the main reason why neither of those Roms have default MIUI dialer + recording and Messaging, because Xiaomi collects quite a lot of data. Not saying Google does not, but they already had to abide with those Rules and Regulations, so was probably way easier to bundle default android apps, rather than patching their own apps and doing so ending up having 2 versions of the same app.
Besides that, I am pretty curious too what really are the difference between EEA and Global versions with same number. Of course if we compare two different versions of MIUI, we will always find something different.
I am not sure where we can find an official info.
UPDATE:
As I was suspecting looks like main differences are related to ads and how/what datas can be collected or not.
From this post here where users were speaking about it too, differences seems to be summarized to those main differences:
EEA is a Global Rom specially designed for Europe - which basically is just saying they are taking GDPR seriously. You won't get ads and you will need to accept a prompt on every instance where they would collect data (unlike standard Global one).
Global ROM:
This is the official worldwide ROM for all countries except China
The Global ROM has also a Beta Program
The Global ROM receives updates every 1 to 2 months
EEA ROM:
This ROM was specifically designed for EU countries
During the first setup, one can disable all ads inside Mi Apps globally, whereas in the Global ROM, one needs to do that in the Apps themselves
The EEA ROM doesn't have a Beta program
Updates seem to be slower

Use xiaomitool v2 to change from EEA to global stable.
Just search it at xda forum, download it, and follow the instruction o both screen, PC and phone.
I had change the rom without unlocking the bootloader, no problems at all. But do it with your own responsability. I made it following the instructions from the forum of the Xiaomi Mi 9, that someone make it without unlocking bootloader. So I think than on ours phone, it was the same thing.
I delete my gmail account and the rest of account, then I follow the instruction. Clickin on My phone works correctly and i want to mod it, when Xiaomitool v2 ask me what i want to do. Then, click on global, the program itself download global rom 11.0.2 and then install via fastboot. Then i initialised the phone, put the full update global 11.0.6 zip in the phone storage, then go to update app, touch ten times miui 11 logo, and then, tap on the tree dots, manual upgrade, select the update zip. The phone installa the update and you will get your Redmi Note 8 Pro EEA 11.0.3 rom moved to Redmi Note 8 Pro GLOBAL 11.0.6.

EEU Roms really dont have ads ?

Personally after I have debloated the phone using Saki tools (I was not aware of that 'option' to disable ads within the settings) I dont get those MIUI ads everywhere. Of course that does not remove the 'Free' applications ads from the 3rd party application you may install (freemium games and such). Adaway might deal with those, or patch of culprit app with Luckpatcher or such. Or just dont install Adware apps.
I also did not really read what was asked of me when I first started the phone, but as a general rule I answer NO to every thing
For example an other girl friend of mine, who has no computer skills and just started the phone out of the box gets ads everywhere.
An other example the MIUI app installer, which I thought was essential to run the OS, adds ads for every apk installation. You get rid of that, you fall back on regular android stock installer and it has no ads.
Basically all MIUI apps shipped with the phone en EEA has ads. So if you have no use for them, get rid off them.
Once you have removed/disabled all of those, you'll get considerably less ads showing for sure
Hope this helps.

Man I already answered your question in that other thread where you asked it.
Please refrain from posting duplicate question (even less when that one was already answered!) in different threads that you dont even own and which are not quite related to your own issue.
