It works, but you need a backup from someone with the system image and version in it.
I have an Al-10 with L21 software, I'm worried about updates though

I have a Euro Version,but there is no Full Firmware Package for euro and Usa Version,only Ota Updates.
At the Moment you can not converted the Chinese to another Version.
Maybe via Twrp Backup is not sure though.
The Chinese Version has already received 5 or 6 full updates.
I will converted my L21C Euro Version in AL10 Chinese Version,but nobody has the oeminfo uploaded
I have a Honor Note 8 AL10 Chinese Version I prefer it so much,more settings,hide the Navbar.
I debloated the Phone and all is good.Many china apps can you uninstall and with root can delete moreunnecessary apps. But nothing changes on the LTE Bands.

Proper conversion to another version works only with the oeminfo,so you also get updates

thanks alot guys! can you send me some pointers? i'm going to order one from taobao and want to flash a proper international rom like l21 instead of sideloading google play store, thx!!!

i used the AL-10 ROM with a backup of the cust.img i made beforehand and it works. As explained in the unbrick thread.

Why?

Many People had Problems with the Software from L24 or L21. Delete apps in System or bricked Phones.
We need a Full Firmware Package for L21, L24. Wait for this

ok so it isn't that something inherently impossible but lack of full rom package, right?
btw, i read about something flashin oeminfo to completely modify the phone (of other huawei model) to enable ota updates after changing firmware, is that necessary?
thx!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes but you will loose all your Verizon apps as well if VVM matters at all to you. I prefer the U firmware myself.

I have a xvision note 8 and odin failed to flash a tmo u1 version. How can i do it??

India Global Rom on chinese Version Redmi 6 Pro

Dear all,
Greetings,
I wonder if I can install the Indian rom provided on the eu.miui.com to my chinese version of Redmi 6 pro .. Chinese is bloating the phone and I can't use the phone like this. I am aware of eu xiaomi roms but i'm looking for official builds provided by xiaomi itself.
Thanks

Sorry for bad english.TIA

Yes, the phone hardware is same and you can install miui indian ROM safely but also remember that it is always safe to stay on stock country ROM.
Also if you return to indian ROM, you will not get miui 10 update

I've bought R6pro CN version with Indian global
Miui installed.
Now when I check my product name
fastboot getvar product
It says - sacura_ India
I must unlock bootloader if I want to get OTA update. Without unlocked bootloader I would brick my phone.
I think that you can install Indian rom only if you unlock bootloader.

Please can I see the about and baseband of your phone because my own baseband started with .TA and I heard it is a fake ROM and installing any update will brick it.

Indian ROM can easily install on cn ROM. But advantage go to cn ROM , they get latest update first

c636 vs c432 Firmware

I see that the European c432 firmware number is 9.0.0.132, while the Asia/Pacific global c636 is 9.0.0.127. Does this mean the European version has more up-to-date firmware than the Asia/Pacific global version?

China Version is 9.0.0.158

9.0.0.166 now

I've never had a reason too...but is there an easier way to switch between these sub-levels than it is to rebrand all together. Like goto this C432 from C636 without a some special effort like it is to go from AL00 to L29? Or is it basically just as locked up and needing special hack and tools as the full rebrand? It seems HiBoard stays on the Asian models...but you get google cards stuff with left swipe maybe on these Euro ROMs. So wouldn't mind swapping for that.

SmartPhonesFan said:
no it doesn't mean it has more update.. it all depends if phones are sent to operators .. so they might request..
EU version 100% fully works in EU global
and depends of EU law they will ad only security patches..
update about software or HW it is the same ..
C432 and C636 is nearly the same..

Too bad that I bought Global / Asia (c636), l still on October security patch ..
Are not Asians equally concerned about security?

C432 firmware number 9.0.0.132 has november security patch.

Lol did not know there was 2 global versions lol
I got the 636, hope thats okay.
My last 4 phones was with Chinese rom, so this time i really want a global one, but anyway... All works fine with google etc [emoji1303]

Yeah the C432 is with EU charger and multi quick start quide that's also in Dutch. There is a Huawei address in The Netherlands on the phone and box, but they don't sell the Mate 20 X here, very strange....
EAN C432: 6901443272112
EAN C636: 6901443266920
Ony difference i notice now is that Google feed worked out of the box one the C432 and HiBoard is not installed.

Arrr okay... Thx

Do you still get OTA updates after uninstalling hi board from the device ?
I know that when system files are deleted or changed it will no longer download OTA updates.

I am not rooting or doing any customizing to my Huawei Mate 20 X EVR-L29, I am keeping this the way it is stock so Google pay & assistant & everything runs properly.
I have a rooted Huawei Honor Note 8 & a rooted Huawei Honor Note 10 so I didn't need to root or customize this device.
I don't want to do anything that would cause OTA updates to not download.

From recollection I got the 146 update I think it was. Went straight to 172 via FunkyHuawei. Adb didn't affect ota

As long as you guys don't remove the ota.apk, removing anything else has nothing to do with it... You will still get OTA updates... i can confirm this as i have done the same on my LeTV X900 and also Xiaomi Mi Mix 18K...

I bought a new 7 inch LG tablet off Facebook market place & I rooted it & deleted the bloatware apps & after that the updates wouldn't download, the tablet goes to update then halfway through it stops & says error & then reboots.

This might be dumb, but where do i see which version i have ? I'm confused... I have AL-00 , but where do i have to look for the C636 or C432 ?

A505G model, can I flash A505F firmware?

My A50 Version is the Latin America, non-nfc version. It seems to be a little slower in receiving updates as the A505F model so I was wondering if I can just flash the later firmware on mine? Both models are non NFC.

You can flash through odin, not a problem at all.
I did the same with my A505f

Great, thanks!

I believe your phone is an exynos , eh?

Yes, basically the same specs as the a505f version, except it seems like the a505g has more lte bands enabled?

is this true? if yes i wanna try it

im not able to flash fn version on a g device.

hey, so I tried to flash the A505G firmware today using ODIN but it keeps hanging while trying to flash it.

Where are you getting stuck? I believe to flash alternative firmware than the device came with, you need an unlocked bootloader. Is your bootloader unlocked? i was able to flash a505gn on my a505g, but my bootloader was unlocked.

I was able to flash back to official firmware and my ota is working again, so maybe next time i do a full wipe ill try a505fn on my a505g.

How can a software compensate for the absence of a hardware chip? NFC is a hardware supported feature.

Bootloader status has nothing to do with Odin flashing. You can literally flash any stock images through Odin on locked BL provided they are for the same model. Flashing a different model firmware is just asking for troubles.

Well I have seen other flash different models to get faster updates. The A505G receives updates almost 1 month behind the A505F, even though the phones are almost identical hardware wise.
