So if I want to flash an older ROM (I am familiar with all the guides and how-tos's), how exactly do I know which older ROM fits my phone? There are tons of 6.0.1 version but I don't know which one I had before upgrading to Nougat. Is there a way to know which one to use?
Thanks.

Go by the upload date. Download the version of the rom that was released in the same month or even two to three weeks into the month as the Marshmallow security update you are using. If the rom was released in August 2016, then it would use the vendor image from the August 2016 Marshmallow factory image. You must make sure the vendor image you flash matches the rom security patch, even when downgrading.

But how do I know what the date is? My phone is currently on Oreo.
Edit: OK, I see Android Security Patch Level October 5, 2017. Does this help?

Not at all. Let me explain this again. You can either search within that custom rom's thread or follow my post. The last version of Marshmallow on this device was released in August 2016. You can read the version build on the Google factory image page:
https://developers.google.com/android/images?hl=en
That's why I wrote you should look at the upload date of the Marshmallow custom rom as you are downloading it. Match that 2016 upload date with your device's Marshmallow factory image from the link above. Download the respective factory image and flash the vendor image it contains. You need to wipe then flash Marshmallow vendor image, Marshmallow custom rom, and gapps to properly downgrade. Make sense?

if you want tou use stock, use the latest 6.0.1. Download the factory image and flash it.
6.0.1 (MTC20K) is the latest marshmallow for Nexus 5x.

As far as I understand, not every release matches all devices, and I knot that there are several versions of 5x. Aren't factory images match specific version of 5x?

Every Factory image is competible with every 5X as far as i know. But i think that can change if the device is an operator device or maybe Fi devices. i am not sure.

In the tradition of the firmware threads by @vsriram92 ... here is the full initial update zip.
Honor 6X (US version) model: BLN-L24C567
Firmware: BLN-L24C567B110
Updated Link 2017-09-09 MEGA-FULL-OTA
Rollback Package from Android 7.0 to 6.0: MEGA-ROLLBACK
You can also download both from Huawei at hihonor.com in their support area.
Thanks @adomol, repository updated with appropriate credit.
Is this the Android 7 update from the 6.0.1 ????
No, this is the stock Marshmallow firmware that shipped with the 6X.
Can this be used to downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow? Or will it brick? Just figured I'd ask before I try, I'm stuck in a bit of a jam right now, and no firmware I've tried will apply successfully (fails at 5%). So I figure that I might have better luck going back to the stock MM that the device came with.
Edit: It looks like the download link is invalid. Any mirrors?
Both links are not working now

Thanks guys, but I was able to go back to MM yesterday, with the help of private messages from @adomol. It involved using a small rollback package and a large full package. The rollback went fine. I may or may not upgrade back up to Nougat, got some prep work to do and things to test. I've only had this device for a few days so I don't know the ins and outs of upgrading/downgrading firmware on Huawei. I'm more familiar with Samsung and Odin.

It is good that you downgraded to MM.
You'll get used to honor devices pretty quickly.

Can you share the links for small package. I will update the thread so that any othwr user facing the same issue can downgrade.
Link for only smaller file is ok but you can share both.
I'm having this same issue. Trying the rollback package now...hoping that works.
I acidentally deleted all files of blnl24, can i fix with this
Does anyone have the OTA firmware for the Honor 6x LN-24? All the links I'm finding online are broken.
It would be great help to the community if someone could share factory images for this device of android 8 and 9. It can be use to reflash from scratch, or downgrade the device to android8 like me..
In most cases, what you need is boot, system or vendor images.
Here are dumps for Oreo: Gdrive

I need thos images which i could use to flash my device. Actually i want to downgrade to orio, as i am not happy with pie. Can u help?
still waiting for response
I am in the same boat, I want to downgrade to Oreo 8.0 so I can unlock the bootloader. I found this website where the firmwares are available, thanks to the owners but I am not able to downgrade because it either gets stuck on 'abl_b' partition or fails. I have tried to use OST tool 6.0.4 with slightly edited firmware as I found on internet.
https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/index_en.html
You need Ntool for downgrade ur phone.
Also here are stock images: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...de-how-to-make-backups-restore-stock-t3889815
Same here. I updated to pie but unhappy with it due to poor battery life and stability. I want to downgrade too.
---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------
I came across a downgrade method for 7 plus where you just need to change slot from a to b. Then you flash downgrade package in stock recovery by applying update (in reality downgrade) from sdcard. Ii doesnt need bootloader unlocked. search google "How to downgrade Nokia 7 Plus from stable Pie to stable Oreo" (not allowed to post link because the site sells bootloader unlock).
if we had an oreo downgrade package for 6.1 we could try this method.

If you are critical unlocked, you can downgrade via OST LA. If not, you need NTool for downgrade.
I also tried to adb sideload through recovery the Oreo update but it also didnt work because it said the timestamp is older than current one. May be if we can change the time stamp it would just flash the update.

PL2-222E-0-00WW-B02 PL2 Global 8.1.0 July 2018
This is the full firmware
Sorry, i read ur message wrong... my bad.
Currently, there's no way to roll back to Android 8.1 for Nokia 8 Sirocco by yourself, so use these packages at your own risk.
It will be better if you're using prototype device or a retail device with unlocked bootloader.
To install it, you need to ensure your phone is running either A1N-310M-0-00WW-B01/A1N-310N-0-00WW-B01 (Global) or A1N-311N-0-00CN-B01/A1N-311O-0-00CN-B01 (China). Build newer than that can't install following packages.

Method is simple:
1. Download all of the packages provided in here:
If you're using Global Firmware (A1N-310*-0-00WW-B0*): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288061
If you're using China Firmware (A1N-311*-0-00CN-B0*): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288062
2. Place them in the root directory of internal storage.
3. Dial *#*#874#*#* to update and reboot, until no more packages to install.
That's it.
FAQ:
Q1: How to unlock the bootloader of Nokia 8 Sirocco?
A1: Sorry this can't be mentioned here, because it requires payment that forbidden here.
Q2: When will you unlock Nokia X7 / Nokia 8.1?
A2: I don't know!
Q3: When will you get Nokia 9 Penta Camera Phone?
A3: I don't know, don't ask.
Q4: Can I still receive OTA update from this early Pie build?
A4: Probably not, unless HMD decided to choose this build for releasing. If newer packages are released, I'll update them in these links.
how to install
how to install this : A1N-412A-0-00WW-B01-4120-0-00WW-B03-update.zip
Will try this shortly and report back on adaptive battery and camera.
Both were missing in the December OTA leak.
Camera updated, app version 91.9.1150.20. Digital wellbeing and adaptive battery included.
We're looking a lot closer to final now.
It works fine. Only one file was needed.

The two small files are updates, the final update being 412A, which includes the January security patch.
They have to be sideloaded though from recovery.

Hello, I was wondering if I need to update my firmware on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred).
The reason for it is because it shows "1. November 2018" as latest vendor security patch level.
I am currently running LineageOS 17.1 which is based on Android 10 together with the Lineage recovery.
Mainly I have these questions:
1. Do I need to update the vendor firmware? In other words would that even increase the Vendor security patch level?
2. When I checked this website: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/ it shows the latest Vendor Firmware to be from 2021, however with Android 9.0, would that even work with LineageOS 17.1 which is Android 10 level?
3. Would I need to flash back to the official Rom on Android 9.0 in order to then flash to the 2021 firmware ( should be included in the latest official rom anyway) and then flash back to LineageOS 17.1?
Any help is greatly appreciated as this is my first phone on LineageOS. (I did had a couple of other phones in the past with unofficial Roms so I am not a completely noob.)
Thanks and have a good day

LOS has old version of vendors. Yes from 2018.. they build on that... if you wanna updated version go to LOS github and ask there.. that's how it is, nothing can be done here. Only LOS team can help you.
Good luck and stay safe!

If you use LOS, than yes.
Maybe I am a bit dense to understand this, but shouldn't all have the same? I thought Vendor security patch level are bugfixes from the vendor, so it only makes sense to me to include the latest patches in all roms to get this baseline patch level. Ofc every ROM can feel free to increase security even further with additional patches on top of that.

Yap, but every custom Rom has it's own vendor version. LOS has old one and many custom ROMs. It's actually developer decision what version he's gonna use to build rom. That's it. Yes MIUI ROM uses latest. You can't mix them because you'll get bootloop or bricked device.
For latest version you need to ask developer to update it.

The vendor security patch level is just a setting configured here: https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...0038ae0340b1da03ae9c00ff50/BoardConfig.mk#L56
The official LOS 18.1 rom contains at least some vendor blobs from the latest MIUI V12.0.2.0.PEIMIXM rom.
That probably means the vendor security patch level date is not accurate and can be ignored.

You can flash the firmware ZIP from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/. It only updates the various firmware partitions without touching the "boot", "system" and "vendor" partitions (on which LOS is installed).
For some reason the firmware ZIP is missing the new boot logo. It can be updated manually by extracting the file "/firmware-update/splash.img" from the latest MIUI Rom and flashing it in Fastboot Mode with
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
I'm on Lineage OS 18.1 now with Android 11 and figured I just leave it as is. But thanks all for the help
I have been trying to download the OTA - but it gets stuck and fails installation, any help with the installation or just the OTA zip file so i can manually load it locally.
I got the OTA, but didn't realize I had to grab the zip before installing. I'm trying to get the boot.img out so I can root, so I'm looking for the OTA as well.
Do not install it , I updated it and since then can not find system update in settings , nothing at all
That's the one that takes you to A12, I just spent yesterday downgrading back to 11, rerooting, etc
I personally don't recommend it if you're satisfied with your phone now, unless there is something about OOS 11 you really dislike or an A 12 feature you really want.
Can anyone confirm that the new update does in fact fix the connection issues that the previous update had? And possibly the automatic brightness issue as well. Those were really the only two issues I had with Android 12 and if those are fixed, I wouldn't mind updating again.
I have downloaded and installed F.18 thru Oxygen Updater.
After update to F.18, the dual SIM not working
