It is ridiculous from official huawei to left me my phone with old version 5.1.1.!!
i can understand why NO give us update .
Is anyone to now how to make update to 6.0 or better?
yes same problem, i can not update ! İ use lollipop -.-
Same here, I may wanna try CM 13.0 for Huawei Ascend G8 & GX8, have you tried this?
I've upgraded mine to Nougat.
First, I unlocked my phone. This did a factory reset, wiping all my apps.
Then I used TWRP to upgrade to a foreign official Marshmallow ROM (there is no official Marshmallow LROM for Australia, where I live). This ROM was not able to connect to my local phone network but otherwise seemed to work.
Then I installed a Resurrection Remix Nougat ROM on top of that and a Google apps package (LineageOS Nougat also works). To get RR or LineageOS to install, I had to go into the install ZIP file and delete the part of the install script that checks the model of the phone, because my phone (an Australian RIO-L02) reported its model name as "rio" instead of "RIO-L02". If you use the Google apps you should install them before the first time you boot into RR or LineageOS, because they change the setup thingy that runs the first time you use the phone.
My first few attempts ended in bootloop errors, probably because I was trying to install RR or LineageOS without a working ROM already on the phone or installing them over a different version of Android to the one the person who made the ROM expected me to have. Installing an official Marshmallow ROM before installing an unofficial Nougat ROM seemed to be the key to success.
Some of these steps were very complicated, but I followed instructions in other threads on these forums for each step.
RR and LineageOS are fully functional and have no problem connecting to my local phone network.

I have a d851. I had a fully functional Marshmallow AOSP ROM backed up. Installed N&N Rom 8.0 Beta (Stock) which had 30e. Had no signal. Went back to my AOSP rom. Now SIM card is not detected. Never had this problem before. It only happened after installing this rom. Any help?
N&N (from htcm... forum) do not have beta versions. The rom is "UPDATE N&N 8.0 G5 ULTIMATE ROM", an update for N&N G5 ULTIMATE ROM.
This rom is only for D855: [D855]UPDATE N&N 8.0 G5 ULTIMATE ROM (30E ~ 6.0 Marshmallow)
if you've installed on a D851 it is normal to have failures
They have a d851 port. I been running their rom before but this is the first time having this problem. Also it is a full rom with an "update only" option.
Right, i know. I just wanted to distinguish the port and the original rom, which is only for d855.

I have tried flashing the 30d modem but still no luck. In every rom i try to restore there is no baseband and i checked the IMEI and its blank. I have an EFS restored back when I was on lollipop roms. I have also downloaded stock marshmallow rom. My question is, once I flash this, I wlll lose root but will still have TWRP, how do i re obtain root? Also, I was on Lollipop when I originally rooted my phone, which took forever, does that affect how I can fix this problem?
Hello, so I got myself in a kind of a big problem here.
I have a note 2 that was originally running tph 4.4.2 which had this modem N7105XXUFNE3 originally.
I got bored of the stock rom and I installed lineage os official 7.1.2., the installation ran without any issues whatsoever and I was really loving it, the phone was working perfectly with just minor bugs.
The rom provided an updater that allowed the users to choose which updates to download and install (all nightly).
I installed a couple manually via TWRP and it was all good but after one update whenever I turned on my phone it would ask me to write down the sim network unlock code which I found really weird. I thought it was a bug and I rebooted the phone but to no aveil.
after that I figured that the most recent updates to that rom would eventually fix the problem so I kept installing the updates to a point where my phone was stuck loading linease OS.
Somehow in the process of using apps2SD I forgot I had stored my backups in the sd card and I partitioned it...
Now I cameback to the stock rom which I've downloaded from a website which is not sammobile because sammobile's website is bugging and wont let me download the firmware. The rom is suposed to be TPH and comes packed with the same N7105XXUFNE3 moded of the 4.4.2 stock rom, but it still asks me to write down the sim network unlock code...
I don't understand why the hell is it locked if it's suposed to be a TPH rom, I also tried with another ROM (also tph) but I get the same problem, I've also tried to flush a different moded but it's still the same and I don't know what to do anymore.
I would really apreaciate if you could point me in the right direction to sort this problem out.
Much apreaciated in advance.
PS: this has made my work a lot difficult since my phone was a really important basis of my communication in regards to my job and I really need it to be functioning but ran out of ideas.
Zenfone 2 Deluxe Special Edition
Model: Z00A
Before I unlocked, rooted, and flashed my current version, I had Android M - I believe it was Asus firmware version: WW-4.21.40.352
Current version: Groovy Android Android N (7.1.2) - GA-N-v7.1.2-20180612-Z00A-Release.zip
Apparently that was a big mistake and I should have downgraded to Android L before flashing Groovy Android Android N because there's a known issue related to the SIMs not being detected.
I can get my LTE connection to work if I physically remove and reinsert the SIM but that's obviously annoying. And I figured out how to play with the data/SIM settings to get it to register on the data network again but it keeps reverting back to having issues with the X over the LTE symbol and having no data connection.
I just picked Groovy Android because I didn't really know where to start and I wanted Android Nougat. I really want a dark themed Android Nougat but I haven't come across any custom ROMs that have that option. Any suggestions?
For now, I need to go back to Android L so I can flash Groovy Android again without SIM issues.
I downloaded UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.206-user.zip from Asus's website.
Can I simply go into TWRP, go into sideload mode, and then type adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.206-user.zip from my PC?
Do I need to wipe any particular partitions before or after?
EDIT:
Oh also one of the reasons I wanted to try a custom ROM is because of all the bluetooth audio issues I was having. Every single ROM I've ever had on this phone, from the one it shipped with, through several OTA and updated firmwares from Asus's website that claim to "fix bluetooth stability", I've always had this issue where the audio just randomly cuts out while connected to my Soundbot SB360 receiver (I've had other devices and phones connected to it without issue). I've seen other people complain about it on Asus's forums with no real resolution.
That does not happen on my device. It's stable except for the crashed pie
I know I need to downgrade to stock Lollipop. So the question is, can I do that from TWRP, and how do I do it?
Did you back up your system partition before flashing Groovy Android?

Either flash the firmware directlyhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/guide-flash-stock-rom-asus-zenfone-2-t3588276, or restore that backup, flash stock MM recovery, lock the bootloader and downgrade by installing the 2.x "update" zip from ASUS's website.

I was reading over this guide yesterday and I'm going to try METHOD 2 using the Asus Flash Tool to flash WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.206_20170627.raw which is the latest version of Lollipop.
Hi all,
so my current smartphone died for good and instead of getting a new one, I thought I'd revive my old Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. It's been a while since I switched it on so the battery is dead but I'm planning to buy a new battery and replace it. Then I plan to install LineageOS (which is based on Android 10 I believe?)
However I've never done rooting or anything more than basic end user stuff so I've searched the internet and thought I needed to root my phone and then flash the LineageOS. I've read some beginner guides on this forum and other places. However, I've ran into some conflicting/confusing(?) info and need some clarification before starting out. Hope someone can help with my admittedly-very-noobie questions:
1) Can I install LineageOS WITHOUT rooting my phone?
I believe that the bootloader needs to be unlocked first but is rooting necessary? The reason being is that I just want to get rid of the current stock ROM (I think it was Lollipop - can't know for sure because the new battery hasn't arrived yet) and install LineageOS. I don't want a rooted phone because it might conflict with banking apps and such (I know there are workarounds i.e. masking/reflashing/unrooting but as I am not that familiar with the development systems I will just be exposing myself to unknown vulnerabilities) so is it possible to just have the custom ROM and not completely root the phone?
2) Unlocking the bootloader
So I read I have to do a backup first before unlocking the bootloader. Is an SD card necessary or only for rooting? Since unlocking the bootloader will format the SD card anyway? Where should the backup be stored then?
I'd really appreciate some guidance. Thanks!!
Cheers,
traegr
LineageOS or most other roms aren't rooted by default. You will have to install solutions like magisk.
If you install twrp https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-1-t3960699 make sure you are on latest stock firmware as you need the latest bootloader which allows booting into recovery. Flash firmware with Xperia Flashtool which has inbuilt firmware downloader. http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
If you can't boot into TWRP, you can try flashing attached file with xperia flashtool.
Instead of unofficial lineage I recommend AICP forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/rom-aicp-15-0-q10-0-amami-t4005457 . It's got good battery life and nice inbuilt tweaks and customization options..
Hope this helps
Also you need to flash Gapps if you want to use certain apps. Important point for AICP is that you can use microg instead. https://microg.org/

Hi, thanks for replying.
What's the difference between the lineage and AICP?

AICP provides more customizations while lineage is a "cleaner" approach. In the end AICP builds on top of lineage sources and adds several features. It totally depends on your personal taste. I consider it to be a bit overloaded. But that's my opinion. Which may be a bit influenced as I build the lineage version. Hehe
But once you have a recovery set up you can easily flash one, test it, and try the other one afterwards.
Hardware functionality should be same as AICP (SpiritCroc) and lineage (mse and me) share the same device tree sources. If one of us repairs something the other one will also get the fixes.
Both AICP and lineage have OTA update support. If you need microg you can either go with AICP 15 (Android 10) or Lineage 16 (Android 9).
Also you can easily backup your entire system with twrp if something goes wrong when flashing or whatever.
And when "hopping" roms you can make backups with Titatnium (root needed)
Hi there fellow Moto G5 users. I've been fiddling some time now with the 14.1 version and I want to try out the new 17 version with nightly's. Normally I've have no problems with upgrading or downgrading rom's for my devices, but since newer versions are now 64-bit it's throwing me off.
Since there are so many topics around with tips and procedures I'm a bit confused how to get started to migrate/change to LineageOS 17.
So could anybody help me on how to upgrade to LineageOS 17? As far as I know my phone has: a unlocked bootloader, TWRP with 64-bit support and LineageOS 14.1. What would the first step for me do?
As far as I understand it would be something like this:
(0. Backup up everything + written down both imei's) - done this in advance
1. Lock the bootloader again (whilst LineageOS 14.1 is still installed?)
2. Erase everything (with commands)
3. Flash an official Moto G EU rom (with commands)
4. Update it using OTA to the latest supported version to get a 64-bit rom/kernel/bootloader installed
5. Unlock bootloader again
6. Flash custom recovery again
7. Flash LineageOS 17?
That is what I'm thinking for me to do, is it correct? Or do I miss some stuff?
Any help will be appreciated.
Never lock the bootloader once you have unlocked it - if anything goes wrong in the future you will never be able to fix it without specialist hardware or a motherboard replacement
There is no need to lock the bootloader to change roms
See my post below that is basically answering the same question for full instructions on how to upgrade
Basically update stock firmware to latest retail then format data with latest offical twrp, wipe system data cache & flash rom

Thanks for the warning, I will try your instructions and see what I can manage. Will post any updates.
I've just updated the rom to 8.1 official. Thanks for the help. @TheFixItMan
And now i'm on Lineage 18.1/Android 11 working great so far.
