U9200 AIO guide
This guide is made by me, but I've collected information from many others.
Special thanks to: arkedk, Urmet77, lee140685, faust93, spanorg, kiprap and others.
First of all:
1. I am not responsible for ANY bricked device! You are doing this at your own risk.
2. Downloads are located here. Most of my uploads are heavily compressed by 7zip. Only 7zip will unzip correctly.
3. Install ADB and FASTBOOT drivers for making stuff in this guide work. Very easily done with: 15 seconds ADB Installer by Snoop05 @ xda
Eventually: Android SDK | Guide by demkantor | Guide by TeamAndroid
4. Backup stuff you want to keep. Easy with tools such as: MyPhoneExplorer, Super Backup, Titanium Backup or others. (Use Google)
5. Other things you should know:
→ Reboot phone to recovery: Turn on while holding volume up + volume down. Or through ADB: "adb reboot recovery"
→ Reboot phone to fastboot: Turn on while holding volume down. Huawei logo will appear and won't disappear. Or through ADB: "adb reboot-bootloader"
→ Shut down phone if it freezes: Hold power button until dead.
→ For ADB to work, debug mode must be enabled, and you must choose "Hi suite" as USB connection mode.
→ Some Huawei ICS ROM's comes without the FM radio app. If you want it, you can install this apk. NB: ONLY ICS (Android 4.0.X). For JB: B704 was the first version to include FM radio.
Here is "ascend-p1" forum category on xda: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/ascend-p1
Gain root access (Works on ANY Huawei stock firmware. Inspiration taken from arkedk's thread)
TWRP has the ability to root our device, regardless of firmware version!
1. Download TWRP v2.6.3.0 (img). Unzip it, and place the .IMG in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" folder.
2. Turn off your phone. Restart it while holding volume down (Fastboot mode). Connect your phone via USB. (ADB: adb reboot-bootloader)
3. In the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"-folder, hold shift while right click. Choose "open command window here".
5. Write "fastboot devices" to verify that the computer detects your device. If not detected, you failed install Fastboot drivers. (Look at the top of this guide)
6. Write "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". This will flash/ install TWRP to your device. (Given that your recovery file is named recovery.img)
7. Boot into your new recovery, TWRP. (Volume + and - together at startup)
→ Go to the "Mount" menu and mount System.
→ Then go to the Reboot menu and reboot the system.
→ When it detects you are not rooted, TWRP will ask if you want to root.
→ Swipe to do so and let it boot back into the system.
8. Hit the SuperSU icon and let it setup for the first time. Either by downloading a flashable zip or by going to the Play Store. Both methods works.
9. You should now be rooted!
Install/flash stock or custom recovery. (Root not required.)
1. Download the recovery you want. Place the .IMG file in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
2. Turn off your phone. Restart it while holding volume down (Fastboot mode). Connect your phone via USB
3. In the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" folder, hold shift while right click. Choose "open command window here".
4. Write "fastboot devices" to verify that the computer detects your device. If not detected, you failed install Fastboot drivers. (Look at the top of this guide)
5. Write "fastboot flash recovery <recovery_name>.img".
→ Let's say the recovery file is named twrp.img. Then you will type: "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
6. If unsuccessful, try again, be very careful about typing it right. If successful, write "fastboot reboot" to reboot your phone. You are done.
Install any Huawei stock firmware, regardless of version (even from custom ROM)
- This will delete everything on your phone's internal memory, and you will loose root.
- The easiest way is by first flashing Intermediate Pack (B123). This is a stock Huawei ROM that will flash regardless of previous firmware version. Any Huawei ROM then will flash straight from Intermediate Pack. No build.prop modifications needed!
- Chinese versions don't have GAPPS installed. This must be installed through a custom recovery after flashing the firmware.
1. Grab "Intermediate Pack", desired firmware version, intermediate FashPack. Links in bottom of this guide.
2. Take the RECOVERY.IMG out of intermediate FlashPack, and Install it through the steps above. (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
3. Place "Intermediate Pack" UPDATE.APP on your SD-card. The file structure MUST be: (Root of SD-card) dload\UPDATE.APP
4. Boot into recovery (Volume up+down when powering on the device). This should start flashing procedure of B123, Intermediate Pack. If it doesn't work and you come from a custom ROM, you must change build.prop to the one included in Intermediate Pack FlashPack. See "FAQ" on how to replace build.prop.
5. After install, it will boot. Now switch the UPDATE.APP from Intermediate Pack with the one from desired firmware version. ((Root of SD-card) dload\UPDATE.APP)
6. Boot to recovery. The firmware flashing procedure will start.
Chinese version extra instructions. This is the time to install GAPPS! B704 extra instructions! arkedk has made a zip to enable all languages in B704. Grab Enable all languages in B704, by arkedk
→ FIRST boot the phone after the firmware installation has succeed.
→ Grab GAPPS corresponding to your android version. (I recommend miuiandroid.com's GAPPS lite, as they removed all unuseful stuff) Place the .zip on the sd-card. Place language enabler.zip on the sd-card as well
→ Install a TWRP v2.4.4.0 recovery
→ Boot into recovery. Install GAPPS.zip. Install language enabler .zip as well
→ Reboot. TWRP will ask you if you want ROOT access. Entirely up to you! For the language enabler to work, you must do a device reset. Relax, GAPPS should be there after the reset.
7. Done! If you want root access, check root guide on top. You can remove Chinese system apps with Uninstall Master. Weather, baidu, and Chinese market won't work outside china anyway. REQUIRES ROOT!
OLD METHOD
Install any Huawei stock firmware, regardless of version (even from custom rom) B229 is a bit different. See "FAQ" at bottom.
This will delete everything on your phone's internal memory, and you will loose root.
Your phone must be rooted for this method to work (replacing/modifying build.prop. Check FAQ about build.prop if you have any questions)
1. Grab firmware (UPDATE.APP), recovery.img and build.prop (Both included in attached FlashPacks) for desired firmware version. Links in buttom of this guide.
2. Place UPDATE.APP on your SD-card. The file structure MUST be: (Root of SD-card) dload\UPDATE.APP
3. Install recovery through the steps above.
4. Download and open "Universal Android AIO Flasher Tool$" to replace build.prop:
→ A: Open desired build.prop in notepad, notepad++ or similar. Copy everything.
→ B: Connect phone in ADB mode (See "First of all" ↑ ).
→ C: Open "Universal Android AIO Flasher Tool$". Go to "Build.prop Editor"-tab
→ D: Insert what you copied into the empty text field.
→ E: Click the "save" button and then "Flash to device". You must grant access with SuperSU (or whatever superuser access management tool) on your phone.
→ F: If successful, you must click "Reboot device" for the changes to take effect. Let the phone reboot.
Manually: "adb pull /system/build.prop" to get the build.prop from your phone.. "adb push build.prop /system/build.prop" to push build.prop to device. "adb reboot" to reboot it (Must be done)
5. After reboot, check "Settings -> About" to check if stated firmware version has been changed to the one you want.
6. Turn off your phone. Restart while pressing volume up + volume down. The firmware flashing procedure will start. If not, you have done something wrong.
7. Done.
Install custom firmwares/ROMs (Root not required)
- This will delete everything on your phone's internal memory. Backup stuff you want to keep.
- All custom ROMs i know is pre-rooted, so nothing to worry about there!
- You will need custom recovery for this to work. Look above.
Depending on firmware, GAPPS (Google Apps) might not be included and must be flashed afterwards if it's wanted. I recommend miuiandroid.com's GAPPS lite, as they removed all unuseful stuff
1. Download desired 3rd-party firmware, it must be a CWM/TWRP flashable .zip. Place it on you memory card. If you're flashing GAPPS aswell, place gapps.zip on the memory card too.
2. Reboot you phone to recovery.
3. Wipe everything the custom firmware needs to have wiped. Generally cache, dalvik and user data.
4. Flash the firmware .zip. Wait for everything to finish!
6. Restart the phone. It will use alot of time the first time. If it uses more than, let's say.. 7 minutes, something is wrong (bootloop).
You can eventually try these steps:
→ Wipe cache, dalvik and userdata with CWM.
→ If this does not solve the problem, check the files and reflash. If it still bootloops: The files don't work with U9200.
If you are going to flash GAPPS, now after the first boot is the time to do it. Boot into recovery, then flash the GAPPS .zip corresponding to your firmware version.
7. Restart and enjoy!
"Ey, Olav! Do you know any other useful stuff I can do to my rooted phone?"

Fix GPS log bug found in some Huawei ROMs. There seem to be a bug, where stock Huawei ROMs will create huge unnecessary GPS logs, that eventually will fill your entire SD card with trash! (We are talking several 100 MB's of logs!).
Disable log keeping by editing a setting in this file: /system/etc/gpsconfig.xml.
Edit: "cLogEnabled" from "true" to "false". Then delete all the logs in: system/data/gps/log.
FAQ
Install latest baseband version
Why? Baseband / radio.img is the software controlling everything that has to do with signal. Newer baseband versions can boost your performance + make battery last longer. It might make things worse, but generally newer means better.
How? There is no way to extract radio.img from Huawei firmware at this point. So only way to do this is through flashing a stock firmware from Huawei containing the baseband (radio.img) version you want. (New firmware sometimes includes updated baseband version). If you want custom firmware/ROMs you can flash them over it, baseband version will remain/ radio.img/baseband is not included in custom firmwares/ROMs. Flashing any Huawei firmware will replace baseband with its own version.
For flashing procedure, see "Install any Huawei stock firmware, regardless of version you are on (even from custom rom)"
GAPPS
Why? You want Google applications, but it's not included in the ROM you've flashed.
Which? GAPPS is made for every android version (ICS=4.0.x, JB=4.1.x/4.2.x). Make sure you pick the right one! (Links in download section). I recommend OpenGapps Pico. Heavier GAPPS will make your device much slower.
How?
- Download GAPPS.zip, move it to your memory card.
- Use custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP to flash it.
Remember:
- Has to be done after the ROM is flashed (obviously) and it's recommended to boot the ROM once before flashing GAPPS.
- All Huawei stock firmwares (Except Chinese versions) have this preinstalled.
What does "Root"/"Root access" mean?
- System files is not editable on stock firmware. Editing these can potentially make your phone into a brick. To remove these restrictions follow the steps in my guide.
- Rooting will in most cases destroy warranty!
- MIUI, CM and other custom ROMs are pre-rooted[/I]
What is build.prop?
- This is a text file stored on your phone, which tells the phone about what firmware version it has + some other stuff.
Why replace build.prop?
Build.prop stores lots of settings and info about your phone. Changing it is most commonly used for tricking the upgrade procedure to think the firmware on the phone is compatible with the update.
- Huawei firmware updates is restricted to some few firmware versions. But they have made a "Intermediate Pack" which will flash from ANY stock huawei ROM. All huawei ROM's will flash from this intermediate pack without the need of changing build.prop. Think of "Intermediate Pack" as a intermediary for getting the firmware version you want.
- If you come from a custom ROM, and intermediate pack won't flash (verification fail in recovery), you must change build.prop to any stock huawei build.prop for it to work.
How to replace build.prop?
Phone must be rooted!
NB: There's a chance your custom ROM won't boot because of using stock Huawei build.prop with it. In case of updating to Huawei stock firmware, be smart. Flash stock recovery, and add the update.app to SD card BEFORE you change build.prop!
- Get desired build.prop (included in my "FlashPack" files.
- Download Universal Android AIO Flasher Tool$, by "fonehacker".
- Plug your phone in ADB mode. Open the tool above. Go to build.prop tab. Open your recovery. Press save. Then flash it to your device.
- Device must restart for the changes to work. The tool will ask you about this, and you press YES.
(Alternative: Take a custom rom zip (LineageOS for instance), open zip without unzipping (Use 7-zip), delete all the folders in the /system, including build.prop. Drag desired build.prop to /system folder. Flash this file from a custom recovery, such as CWM or TWRP. No root needed.)
What is boot.img for?
- It's a file that get flashed to your boot partition on the phone. This file is managing the booting process of your phone. This file is included in all ROM's, therefore there is no need for manual flashing. If the boot partition get's damaged in any way, flashing a boot.img made for the same firmware can fix it. Don't try boot.img from different firmwares/android version!
Why is boot.img included in your FlashPacks?
- ROM developers might use it for developing new and better roms. If you just are updating your phone, you will have no use for it.
What is EmUI?
- Huawei is making a custom version of android for their phones. This project is named Emotion UI, EmUI in short.
What is latest firmware(s) for my U9200?
- The download section always contains latest version of Huawei firmware. If there is a new version I have not listed, tell me
What's the difference of "boot recovery" and "flash recovery"?
Boot recovery will make your phone boot from the recovery file stored on your computer (Through fastboot, your phone is connected with usb)
Flash recovery will replace what ever recovery you already have on your phone.
Can I remove/change battery?
- It's not meant to be possible as there is no plastic cover you can remove without disassemble the phone. There is a small bolt underneath the SD-card cover. I think that's the place to start if you want to open it. This will most certainly break the warranty. If the phone's hardware misbehave in any way you should contact Huawei or the store you bought it from.

You rooted before flashing GAPPS?
The "power bar"
I flashed B229 to a U9200, it had originally B103 which had been updated to 105. manually edited the build to B226 before updating with cwm. Everything is working fine no problems. Only couple of things are missing. The "power bar" which i use to control wifi, BT etc. power on and off in the notification menu (or what ever it is called, the menu that appears when swiping down from the upper edge) is missing and it is quite handy and I'm used to it. Other is the missing boot animation which i knew will be missing after update but did not care about that originally since other bigger issues in the B10x FWs forced me to update to B229. But if easy to apply and anyone knows the way to restore the animation (restore the looks as much "stock" as possible) i would appreciate. But the "power bar" would be very important, anyone know how to restore that? I have messed around with Android a bit and have installed and used custom ROMs and rooted several phones so using the basic root / fastboot / adb functions is no problem even though I'm no Android/Linux expert.
Thanks in advance for your help!
And thank you Olav for the very nice compilation thread for U9200.

Check in the Display settings if the "Notification settings" option is checked. See screenshot from the B226 ROM attached. I hope it's still there?
Boot animation can changed with the AIO flasher tool.

Hello,
I own an huawei u9200
I would like to flash the B229 ROM on my device running B102.
I find this thread very interesting however I have a problem at the very first step.
I can't install fastboot usb drivers
I've been trying to follow the guide you linked at the top of your post, I had a slight issue with ADB Drivers as well,
I could not make those Google USB Drivers downloaded through Android SDK work, I would get the error telling me those drivers are not developed to work with windows x64. But after checking with the command prompt, it turns out that the drivers I needed were already installed and the device is detected as ADB Device.
Back on my current issue:
I understand that I have to shut down my phone and switch it on while pressing both volume up and volume down and after turning it on, I have to plug it to the computer through USB cable. My phone does turn on in download mode, however when I connect it to the USB my computer doesn't detect anything.
Is the screen I am getting the right screen or should I switch the phone on with a different shortcut?
How do I get my computer to detect my phone when I switch it on with the volume+&- buttons?
Which are the correct fastboot drivers to install and where can I download them?
I hope to receive assistance as soon as possible.
Thank you.
EDIT:
I've managed to reboot correctly by using ADB command prompt (typing ADB reboot fastboot)
Now, I'm trying to root and in the command prompt I get this error:
"cannot load 'cwm_touch_recovery_viva_beta.img': No error"
EDIT:
Supersu installed.
Now when attempting to edit the build.prop I get a error message
I check the Concole and I see "Remount failed: Operation not permitted
But I granted root access when prompted. Any Idea?
EDIT:
Tried 39 times until I got it successfully.
And don't ask me how. It's beyond me.
Checked About and version is good.
Now rebooted and "Version list verify fail!"
WHY?
I've checked the build.prop and it is flashed,
I've flashed the 229recovery.img
I reboot and it gives me "Version list verify fail!"
What could have I done wrong?

Try with the build.prop from b226, avaible here: http://openbuildprop.scheffsblend.com/mfg/Huawei (copy -> paste into notepad, save as build.prop)

Ok, this makes sense, it probably wouldn't like to update to a version which is already installed.
This wasn't clear on the tutorial, thanks for the hint.
I'm trying now
EDIT:
Nope, still "Version list verify fail!"
Even though I checked in the "About" and the version shown is B226, which means the .prop was correctly flashed.
So what could the problem be?
EDIT:
Should I also try flashing the B226 recovery?
Do you have a link for any download page?
Can I flash it directly through CWM? CWM wants a root://Update.zip can I put my UPDATE.APP into a zip archive and flash it or does it work differently?
People have had problems updating to B229 with the build.prop i extracted from the B229 fw.
There is simply a little difference at this line:
Code:
ro.build.display.id=V100R001C00B229
It should be:
Code:
ro.build.display.id=U9200-V100R001C00B229
Build.prop from all earlier firmwares (Exept B226) including EmUI betas and stables have the "U9200-"-part before product version on this line.
This is a mistake by Huawei, not me :good:
Updated the FlashPack for B229, new link from mega in first post!
HwOTA7 + HwOTA8 for Huawei P10 Lite1. On the phone, make a backup of all data (since during the upgrade all data will be erased). This is an obligatory condition.
2. Unlock your bootloader: (There´s no way around it (unfortnuately), but after the procedure your device will be locked again, so don´t worry!). The device will make a factory reset, so once again, BACKUP your files!!!!!!!!!!
3. Enable ‘USB debugging’ and ‘OEM Unlock’ option from setting>developer option>. To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.
4. You must download three zip-archives with a full "Full OTA" firmware on which you want to flash (If you look through in the FF (FirmwareFinder), you see there are 4 archives for China and 3 for other locations. You must to download for the version what model and location you will have after the firmware);
5. Add the downloaded files to the folder "HWOTA\Update" and run the .cmd file, it will rename them automatically according to the template:
- update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
- update_full_....zip to update_all_hw.zip
- update.zip don't rename
and will be repack firmware (only HwOTA8)!!!
6. After run the universal batch file update.bat in the "HWOTA" folder, which will provide an opportunity to choose the required work option (change firmware/rebranding (change location)). FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN OF THE MONITOR - the entire process is accompanied by prompts.
At the end of the process, everything should work fine... Be prepared, the bootloader will be locked after changing the location or firmware as a FullOTA.
7. If suddenly it turned out "bootloop" - go into the stock Recovery and make wipe.
PS: To change the firmware using the SD card, you need to create a folder "HWOTA" on the SD card and copy three firmware archives with the changed names (see above). In the batch file select item 1 "SDCard HWOTA directory"

If you read the instructions, the bootloader will be locked after the process is completed, therefore, you're gonna have to unlock it and reflash the custom recovery that you had before

HwOTA for Huawei P10 Lite1. On the phone, make a backup of all data (since during the upgrade all data will be erased). This is an obligatory condition.
2. Unlock your bootloader: (There´s no way around it (unfortnuately), but after the procedure your device will be locked again, so don´t worry!). The device will make a factory reset, so once again, BACKUP your files!!!!!!!!!!
3. Enable ‘USB debugging’ and ‘OEM Unlock’ option from setting>developer option>. To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.
4. You must download three zip-archives with a full "Full OTA" firmware on which you want to flash (If you look through in the FF (FirmwareFinder), you see there are 4 archives for China and 3 for other locations. You must to download for the version what model and location you will have after the firmware);
5. Add the downloaded files to the folder "HWOTA\Update" and run the .cmd file, it will rename them automatically according to the template:
- update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
- update_full_....zip to update_all_hw.zip
- update.zip don't rename
6. After run the universal batch file update.bat in the "HWOTA" folder, which will provide an opportunity to choose the required work option (change firmware/rebranding (change location)). FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN OF THE MONITOR - the entire process is accompanied by prompts.
At the end of the process, everything should work fine... Be prepared, the bootloader will be locked after changing the location or firmware as a FullOTA.
7. If suddenly it turned out "bootloop" - go into the stock Recovery and make wipe.
PS: To change the firmware using the SD card, you need to create a folder "HWOTA" on the SD card and copy three firmware archives with the changed names (see above). In the batch file select item 1 "SDCard HWOTA directory"
HwOTA.zip
PPS: Sorry for my English!!!

for anyone wondering, I solved Magisk installation on oreo!
use .app extractor to get the RAMDISK image, patch it with magisk app on the phone. then use fastboot to install to ramdisk partition, like so
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_image.img
hope this helps

yes I have magisk working
now that I think about it I tried earlier with the kernel image as well, there is no "boot" image.
maybe you need to do both kernel and ramdisk images seperately
either way, magisk working here, I already replaced the emojis

Hi Guys,
Note- if you are on BLN-L22C675 Nougat you can do this easily but if you are on other variants, you need to debrand first as per this guide- https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-debranding-to-india-variant-bln-t3679402
Some background-
So what I heard earlier that post China Oreo beta, other regions may not get it (via various unofficial channels and on XDA) its finally here, even though via firmware finder but it gives us a glimpse that beta or stable would be coming soon.
I had given my Honor 6X to my brother 6 months back and was using V10 since then but he came yesterday and I tried to enable VOLTE on that phone but was not working. Even though I debranded my Honor 6X from AL10 to BLN-L22 Indian version very easily (guide in my signature) but somehow I was not able to get VOLTE working. Yesterday I tried all the known methods till 2.30 AM My time but VOLTE was not working and I gave up but today morning again I tried and updated my phone to EMUI 8.0 (already kept one phone for my brother so that if something goes wrong, I will give a new one to him so that he can use atleast as he is leaving today)
As VOLTE was not working and I decided to update to Android 8.0 Indian version, I saw a screenshot in my Honor 6X Oreo update discussion thread and downloaded and flashed via HuRUpdater but failed last night and I recovered back to B340 and then updated to B365.

In this guide, I will provide detailed instruction on how to update your Nougat BLN-L22C675 Indian version of Honor 6X to Oreo. Process is simple and you just need patience while updating and post updating I verified, Jio, Vodafone VOLTE working (seems iDEA would work but no 4G in Delhi/NCR).
Prerequisites-
Unlocked bootloader.
HiSuite backup/TWRP backup.
Downloads-
TWRP for BLN - https://mega.nz/#!bY9hRazT!I9kqA3a9i1tAc3tQSnDGpqMPc_cEKR4JAYe6rDQqvdE
All the Oreo files (downloaded from Firmware finder or below URLs)- you need to put your device as BLN-L22HNC675 and it will show these files under B510 firmware version.
Main zip- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3196/g1699/v154301/f1/full/update.zip
Data File- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...channel_in/update_full_BLN-L22_channel_in.zip
Public Zip- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...01/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
HwOTA zip from https://mega.nz/#!CXRnEaAb!XYodFoS9CDqJkHx0Uv2fdFmzycCvTrexcvYzrwnjfGI given in thread Thanks to @vovan1982
If you have not unlocked your your bootloader, please do so. You can refer this guide if not aware of the method-
Unlocking the bootloader-
Backup all your data as unlocking the bootloader will reset the device and all your data will be erased.
On windows machine, go to folder C:\adb or wherever you installed the adb drivers.
Press shift+right click together and select Open command prompt here (it will be open PowerShell here on Windows 8 and Windows 10 machine)
Run - adb reboot bootloader (this command may prompt for acceptance of RSA key if not already accepted)
This will boot the phone into bootloader mode.
Run - fastboot oem unlock <16 digit unlock code- Put your actual code you obtained from Huawei site > (This step will unlock the bootloader and will erase all your data)
Phone will restart automatically.
Installing TWRP
Once on the system, open the PowerShell or command prompt again in ADB folder (can use the previous instance as well)
Run -
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader, Run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img
(This will install the TWRP recovery for EMUI 5.0 on your phone)
Once done with the flashing the TWRP, Run
Code:
fastboot reboot
Actual Oreo update procedure
Once you have unlocked the bootloader, and installed TWRP recovery via command
Download the Oreo firmware given above in download link.
Download the HWOTA_BLN_Eng.zip from the link given above.
Unzip the HWOTA_BLN_Eng.zip file and move the extracted content (HWOTA_BLN_Eng folder) to adb folder of your PC.
Copy the downloaded Oreo firmware to C:\adb\HWOTA_BLN_Eng\HWOTA8_BLN\update\ folder.
Rename update_data_full_public.zip file to update_data_public.zip and update_full_BLN-L22_channel_in.zip to update_all_hw.zip, do not rename the update.zip.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Boot to bootloader or fastboot mode. Keep your phone connected with PC.
Go to C:\adb\HWOTA_BLN_Eng\HWOTA8_BLN folder and run the update_eng.bat file and follow the on screen instructions.
The update_eng.bat will install the TWRP recovery and boot to TWRP (if not, you can remove USB and press power and volume up key and it will boot to TWRP, connect the USB again)
You will get prompt for update via SD card or script, select via script
You will get prompt for change region or change firmware, select change firmware.
It will automatically copy the content of C:\adb\HWOTA_BLN_Eng\HWOTA8_BLN\update, mainly those 3 zips and it will flash automatically.
You may see the update.zip file flashed as successful with no error but may see Error result [] for other 2 zips, dont worry that is expected.
Once flashed, it will automatically boot to Oreo without any issue and also it will ask if you want to relock your bootloader or keep this unlocked, this is your wish, I kept it unlocked and will be locked in future updates.
Your Nougat data may remain the same as it was in my case but I would advise to go with Hisuite backup and TWRP backup.
If phone unable to boot, flash the stock recovery and make factory reset and boot normally, it should boot fine. (haven't encountered this issue though)
I did factory reset after booting and verifying to system. Everything was working fine but still I did just to avoid any issue or lag (even though no lags were seen)
About Phone info and VOLTE for Jio and Vodafone. iDEA VOLTE would work as well but there is no 4G in NCR.
Enjoy Oreo.
Update- anyone having issues with call recorder, turn off Google voice typing and recording will work fine.

Internal storage shows as 0Mb. If I format data, Rom won't boot. I had to flash back stock recovery to factory reset and make it boot.
Flashing TWRP again shows 0Mb. Looks like a decryption issue.

May be TWRP is not compatible with Oreo yet. Have seen similar issues on V10. BTW given back the phone to bro and he left for Mumbai so I couldnt test and explore much but somehow I updated his phone to Oreo and then got VOLTE working as was struggling since long and even yesterday for around 8-10 hours.

@shashank1320
While unlocking bootloader I took the complete backup with Hisuite but after restoring it everything's there except my safe files.
I am unable to find any of those files(safe box) in file manager too.
Is there any way to recover those files?

currently twrp not supporting mtp or otg only way is via sd card.

Thank you very much for such a detailed guide.. successfully installed Oreo on my Device ?
Just wanted to mention that faced issue with existing process when it ask to boot in TWRP recovery... It was booting to stock recovery only. So disconnected mobile, switched on , flash TWRP seperately, directly booted to TWRP and connected again to the computer and continued process.
Thak you very much for detailed guide.

anyone have the magisk patched .12AA boot.img??
Update available for me, hopefully the AR issue is resolved
Patched 10.5.12.IN11AA boot.img
https://gofile.io/d/dCbFDY
I hope they keep randomizing the updates for EU and US, so we in the EU continue to get the new updates before the US-version does, as we saw here with .12(US) and .11(EU)
How do I update and keep root? when I go to update it says 'root is detected, system will download the entire package and root will be undone'.

I just do it the "old fashioned" way.
I download it all, copy the .zip over to the PC so I can extract the boot.img -> transfer it to the phone -> update the phone -> install magisk (if you don't already have it), and then click "install" on magisk, click patch image, pick the boot.img, transfer the file "downloads/magisk_patched.img" to the ADB-folder on your PC -> reboot the phone to fastboot -> open CMD, go to the ADB-folder -> "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img" -> "fastboot reboot" -> now you're rooted again

Or just install update DONT reboot, install magisk to inactive slot (after OTA), reboot and your are good to go..
I don't know about you, but with this update on my IN2020 unit, I can't manage to see any remnant of green tint on my screen anymore. Before that, there was still a slight green tint, even with 10.5.11, at very low brightness. What about you? Any improvement?
Still no dual sim

Perform the OTA installation but don't reboot, and then...
See awesome instructions towards the end of this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/10-5-10-rooted-ota-updating-to-10-5-11-t4130715/post83023399#post83023399
Well everything blue up on me this time. I had successfully updates, preserved Magisk root, then used xXx TWRP installer, and then flashed with Kn kernel flasher to install it again. This had all worked fine before, but this time on rebooting, it would only go into TWRP and not reboot.
I stupidly feflashed the tool with TWRP, but now stuck on fastboot mode.
I hate having to go back to the beginning - so would appreciate any idea.
Yeah...starting to get annoying

Code:
Your warranty is now void.
If you root your device, Your KNOX status will be tripped.
You can still pass the safety net after you root if you follow the instructions.

A Galaxy Z Fold 3 and common sense
Samsung Odin (the flashing tool of the official firmware)
https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.14.1.zip
You need to extract the zip file and you are going to use the file Odin3_v3.14.1.exe inside the folder.

-Click on USERDATA and select HOME_CSC_OMC_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
When it finishes flashing it, it will automatically reboot and you can gain root access.
Optional: If you want to have the safety net passed (most of the banking apps use it), then you need to install the zip
as a Magisk module in Magisk https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases
How? Go to Magisk → Modules → install from storage and select the zip you downloaded.
How to update without losing root and data
Open Odin and put the new magisk_patched file in the AP slot, the BL and CP from your new firmware into their respective slots and importantly *HOME_CSC* into the CSC slot.
Press start and let Odin do its stuff.
When flashed, do not wipe.
Press and hold Vol-down and Power
As soon as the screen appears, let go of all buttons.
Within moments, the phone with updates, data and magisk rooted will present in front of you. Hurray!

You must lost data when you root your phone.
What you can do is using Samsung or Google backup and move your photos and files to your PC
Thank you William again I just did it and I confirm works on SM-F926U

Just rooted my new GZF3 SM926B/DS with this method and got to the exact same thing (but using magisk 24.1).
Re-flashed and the same thing again but it was easily fixed.
One more part should be added to the guide.
After you flash the last time with the patched AP-file and get a boot loop to recovery, do a factory reset from (stock) recovery, phone restarts and you have to set it up but magisk is there and you're rooted!
Just go to apps, try to open magisk which will tell you that you need to upgrade to full version, accept, open magisk and accept the "additional part" -> phone reboot one last time and DONE!
You now have a fully functioning and rooted GZF3

Yes, no problem with the camera. Quite sure it's the OS-update that resolve the issue. So just make sure you download the latest update (BVA9) and flash that one.
