I have a nokia X7 for now around two weeks and I quite good with it.
But i wonder is someone has tried or know about if it is possible to flash the pure android one version. The one that comes in the 8.1 global version on the X7.
Thanks!
I need help converting my x7 to 8.1
Hello all, I guess i'm pretty late to the party. I'm from Bangladesh, and I'm looking for a DIY method to change my chinese x7 rom. Can anyone help??
Maybe you could use this link to flash stock firmware:

We can't use OST without unlocking bootloader. We need patched OST with Unlocked bootloader to use nb0 files

A hikaricalyx's twitter post suggests that he has successfully converted an X7 to global version without a bootloader unlock:

I left him a message, but he's not answering.

Yea i already read that. He have all the access. He can do. What i mean is we can't directly do this without unlocking bootloader. But he can via remot acces. He will charge 5dollars for one conversion. Pretty decent. I also waiting for my 8.1 to unlock the bootloader and flash China Rom

Why would you flash CN rom? Doesn't android one better? I had X7 6gb ram, let say i successfully convert to android one ver (8.1), 8.1 have 4gb ram would it matter? I mean the system will confused? Or it is automatically adjust? Or maybe going to brick?

Actually i am an old user of Nokia 7+. After unlocked bootloader in 7+ i just flashed CN rom and i really like it. Some of the features seems pretty good for me like Face Unlock, long screenshot, Screen record, Double tap to sleep, Navigation bar key adjustment, call recording, etc etc. Also i feel the UI is slightly polished and looks good. After selling 7+ i bought 8.1. But need some above mentioned features. Thats why i am waiting for 8.1 bootloader unlock.. Stock is good and fast. Smooth enough. But just want to try CN rom too..
Well, Android One is good too. U can convert to 8.1. Ram does not matter. It won't brick.
Hey ! I found this X7 with Global firmware.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NOK...7.html?spm=2114.search0104.0.0.10ab6000CidjVh
Does this global firmware means gonna be stuck on Android 8.1 and no more updates ?
I had my X7 converted into a global 8.1 running Android One using Techmesto for $10.
https://shop.techmesto.com/product/convert-nokia-x7-to-global-variant-nokia-8-1-with-android-one/
Was a pretty easy process, ordered, got a email about it to organize a time when they can do it.
The process was simple, just to install TeamViewer on a PC (with LAN port, it needs a LAN port to connect to the internet not WiFi for some reason).
They connected to it, has me connect the phone and enable USB Debugging, and they did the rest remotely.
The guy then logged in, got to work and in about 30 minutes it booted up, saw Android One and immediately got my Jan security update. I can recommend their services, very happy with it now!

Ah sorry, the price must've increased. It was $10 at the time of writing.
And yes, I got an OTA update to January's security update straight away. I suspect it'll continue to get updates, but the Jan update is the latest so can't say much right now

I'll def update as soon as I get the February update.
Sorry for the horrible quality, had to use my laptop camera.
https://imgur.com/a/VwDhW0d
I haven't come across any issues with running Android One. The NFC doesn't work but that's expected as the X7 doesn't have NFC.
I also can't record calls anymore, which was super easy with the China ROM. Apparently Google cracked down on call recording apps in Android Pie.
But everything seems fine, seems to work as they should. The camera , voice, dual sims, hotspot all worked soo far.

Hi,
Sorry, I've never done that before, but if I understand correctly, it's working.
I opened up Google Maps, selected Location Sharing and selected to share via a link.
I can open that link on my PC and see it, so I think it's working

Hi, I have a SHARP SH-06E and I successfully turned on its DIAG mode.
Now I have some devices not recognized, the HW IDs are below:

I cannot find its driver anywhere...
Can I mod the HTC/Moto one and force it installed? I want to use QPST to explore its internals.

Hello. How do did you enable in this mode smartphone Diag mode? You can link to the manual?

Temp root, and then run this it will allow DIAG.
Then setprop, see init.qcom.rc for details.
IIUC, diag mode drivers should be same for all Snapdragon (600 here) devices. Anyway it's pretty easy to edit driver ID and force installation.
Please keep us in touch, enabling QPST access will be great.
Also maybe you know is there any way to enter recovery without ADB?

Welcome!
No, I'm afraid not. Sharp's (and all of Japanese manufacturers') smartphones use highly customized versions of Android. Your only chance to upgrade to a higher version is when Sharp/Docomo release it. Still, you will need to have installed all minor (software) updates before that. What this means: Once a new version of Android is released, send your phone to someone in Japan (e.g. the seller you bought it from) to update to latest build version, then upgrade Android, then return to you. Everything else - you risk bricking the phone.
What you can do now that you have root... Install Titanium Backup Pro to make backups of /system apps, then uninstall them (but make sure you read on Japanese sites what can and what can't be disabled unless you want to brick your phone).
Another thing you can do is install Link2SD to integrate updates of built-in apps into /system (overwrite the built in apps with newer versions). This, however, is not really necessary now that the phones come with 8-16 GB of onboard storage -- used to be important for phones like my 005SH or SH-01D where available ROM space was 200 MB and 850 MB respectively.
Yet another thing you can do is install AutoStarts to disable certain apps from launching when the phone boots, e.g. OneSeg TV and many others -- this will make the phone work faster. But then again, the SH-06E is pretty powerful... how much faster do you want it to be?

Thank you very much for this reply! That's very kind of you. My phone has some little fault (software). When I'm using the lock screen (trying to unlock) the phone resets itself. That's the one problem I have at the moment. My sharp is new and really great but I have little kids and I'm afraid that one day they may use my phone.
I thought if my phone is rooted I can upgrade the system to kitkat or normal jellybean ( not branded) and fix that problem.
Looks like I have only two options. Sell it on ebay or try it to do some upgrade. There are some apps on google play, maybe mobile odin pro or something? Any ideas?

Hm... resetting when unlocking the screen... sounds weird. A friend has this phone, and my brother is still waiting to receive his in the next couple of days. But I haven't heard of any such issue with it. What is your build version? The latest one is 1.00.07. I read in the updates list that various bugs have been fixed but no mention of yours.
Have you disabled any apps? Maybe you can try re-enabling everything, then resetting to factory settings --- NEVER reset to factory setting if you have disabled any apps. Not sure about a rooted SH-06E.
I am sure that Android 4.3 will roll out some time this year for the SH-06E. You can upgrade it then. I might be able to help you with that but we'll see once the update comes out.
I did uninstall actually some apps but after when I restored the system everything was ok until I started to install google apps and the others. There may be some conflict. But obviously I'm not sure.
This phone is really pretty so perhaps I will not take a risk but who knows...
It would be nice if you could help me with installation of android 4.3. I have tired to find some information on Japanese websites, a there is some "img files" but those files are to small so perhaps it's not the system.
My build version is 1.00.07.
Kind regards
A little correction. I think I know what the problem is. I did not make an update of google keyboard and the problem gone. At this moment of course, after all day of using my Sharp. I hope this can be helpful for somebody.
Have you finally managed to get QPST worked?
I really want to use EDGE on my SH-06E but it seems that I have to enable it myself with QXDM.
I saw some Japaneses use HTC Diag driver on Xperia Z Ultra and it worked. Perhaps it would work with SH-06E.
hi there,
I just wondering, is it possible to upgrade to the latest (software/firmware/OS) SH-06E outside Japan? can I directly update just like ordinary android phone by OT using wifi?
thanks before

Fair enough! I really wanted to flash this though. I even tried but it said its not compatible with my build number of something. I am on B132 right now. I guess waiting would be the only thing I should be doing for now. It's been so many days already. I am so curious to try out Nougat on my 6X. And it sucks cause before this I had a Moto G4 Plus with Nougat. I feel downgraded with Marshmallow on this!
The EMUI admin in facebook told me that the updates are being pushed gradually and stuffs. But then, why is it taking so damn long to receive it? I check updater every single morning after waking up but no luck so far. Kinda sick of this now!
Hope to get the official ota asap!
Thanks buddy!

I have seen the app and I know what it does. But I am really scared to use it after reading a lot of unfavorable reviews of people who used that to update. The B320 is available in it.

I just made a backup of everything that my phone had. I think I should try it. Can you tell me a short n quick method on how to update through FF? I could see the download option once I select the desired release and then it shows 2 files. Update and Update_data! Am I supposed to download both of them together or flash one by one? And whats up with the proxy? Would appreciate if you could guide me in this bro!

Hi Rohit. I have updated from 310 to 320 but only security patch has been changed and the build remains 310. Any idea what am I missing??

I just flashed the 320 via firmware finder and omg, it worked!!! The entire thing was done in like 1 hour. The security patch shows june 5th 2017 and i can see a lot of new features already. App twin seems cool and i am shocked to see the updater file too cause a lot of people complained about its disappearance after flashing. Its super stable and all the functions are working just fine. No data lost and smooth like anything!
The only drawback i found was not able to directly unlock to the homescreen via fingerprint due to Nougat's restrictions. So as of now, I have enabled the floating dock just for that lock screen button cause if u lock it from there, the fingerprint unlock works!
My 6X is so damn better now. I can also see a huge different in the battery as well as app opening performance. Loving the EMUI 5!
Thanks for that quick inspiration Gopi. Like you said, you never know until you try! I tried, and now I am surprised to see that the outcome was worth the risk.
Thanks Rohit. You told me about FF earlier too. Now I am more honored to have the Honor 6X!
Its good, Welcome to the EMUI 5.0 community: good::laugh::laugh: :; For further quarries we Are here to help You..!!! ENJOY !!

I just flashed the 320 via firmware finder and omg, it worked!!! The entire thing was done in like 1 hour. The security patch shows june 5th 2017 and i can see a lot of new features already. App twin seems cool and i am shocked to see the updater file too cause a lot of people complained about its disappearance after flashing. Its super stable and all the functions are working just fine. No data lost and smooth like anything!

I have the same problem
I am just using the default AppGallery, but I think Huawei is purposely Blocking the Google Play Store. I use FIREFOX.

I have the same problem!！
I have the same problem too! I even tried to install google play service manually with latest apk files, but it doesn't work. Plus, I can't even use any google apps. Very frustrating. I tried to ask for help to the support, but they didn't care anything. Shame on Huawei, I would never buy Huawei devices anymore
I had the same issue, but I fixed it. The problem is my device came with Chinese firmware on it, which as you already know after the last update doesn't support Google services and all of the related apps.
The solution is to change your mediapad's firmware with no Chinese one. I downloaded mine from here: romfirmware.com/2017/08/03/huawei-mediapad-m2-8-0-m2-801w/
Definitely works. Wish you luck!
P.S. Bear in mind that you will loose all of your personal data and installed apps doing so. I recommend to backup your entire device and later to try to restore it on the new firmware - it is not so easy in my case but in the end it worked.

Thank you so much for the information. I'm going to try this way
No Google
Yep I got the same problem. Update stopped google working.
I side loaded some things but Chrome worked for a short period and then stopped working again. I tied Opera and it was fine so only a Google thing.
I then attempted to flash older firmware and did something wrong as I completely hard-bricked my device. Fastboot mode works but no other mode works. I'll be posting a 'help please' elsewhere in the forums. Very f'ed off about it, but the downsides of buying off AliExpress, it's going to be Chinese firmware. Might go buy a Samsung form the shop down the road (sigh).
I updated to B217 and have the same problem that all Google things stop working.
After hours of searching I have successfully downgrade my M2-801W from B217 (EMUI 4, Android 6) to B019 (EMUI 3, Android 5).
Now all Google things work fine as before.
I will post the guide and the necessary files soon.

If you are in a hurry try the method I described. Plus mine EMUI is v.4.0, not 3.0 which I think is better.

Can you share how you did it? I'm not too familiar with the process. Thanks
When I received my brandnew Mi A2 lite end of September it offered me straight away an update. Ever since I did not receive any further updates, neither security patches (currently on 5th Sept.) nor the PIE update. When I now try the OTA update it tellms me that the service is currently not available. My Mi is not rooted nor is the bootloader open. Its same as on the first day. Does anybody else face this issue?
Sucks to not get the OTA updates, but at least you could update (flash) your phone with the offical fastboot roms downloadable from Xiaomi.
https://en.miui.com/getrom.php?r=354&m=yes&app=false
Easy as pie to flash it via MiFlash tool, but I'm afraid you have to unlock your bootloader before.
I'm on October update and don't seem to get anything else either!
May I ask where are you both from? From experience with my old Motorola and my brother's Nokia for example, some regions like the U.K. get their updates always pretty late.
Edit: I'm using mobile Firefox, don't see any country flags if used.

At least myself is from Germany. However I tried one thing that was succesfull yesterday. I deleted all data and set up the phone from scratch and voila the Nov. security update came stright away (some 900mb).
MAybe helpful for the other pal stuck on Oct. security update, too.

Have been to the Netherlands, Norway, and the UK with the phone - no update in any of these! Hope this helps!
Let's see next week in the USA...
Are you maybe using some form of ad blocking via DNS or hosts files? I accidentally blocked a xiaomi domain once

The country you're in while checking isn't the "problem", it's the country where your SIM card is from. Maybe try to remove the SIM and/or try to reset location data like discribed here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/beta-upgrade-to-android-9-beta-pie-vpn-t3872694
With a German SIM this shouldn't be necessary at all, but maybe resetting of the location data alone might help.

Hmmm! Last thing to test would be a factory reset and a try to update an untouched environment preferably without SIM cards.
Don't use the Google restore option! If you do so, don't forget to backup important stuff to a SD card/cloud before.

That's what I thought to do too, but I have 3 more trips coming up till the end of the year, so let's see if there'll be any luck with the December update or with any of the other countries! Else, I'll probably have to do a factory reset! This is not what I was hoping for though, all I wanted was a phone that can have monthly security updates!

Timely security updates and a 4000 mAh battery for me. Good luck with your phone.
In Italy same problem, no updates at all. There's a way to unlock this?

October for me too.
update for the update: I received the November update a few hours after I landed in San Francisco! So there must be some restriction in countries! But I'm glad there is no problem with my phone!
Hey friends!
These are only for the unlocked Surface Duo. I am sorry At&t users.
Here is the OTA link for Android 11:

Cheers
I just rooted the new android 11 update.
The only difference from android 10 is you should now use the newest magisk v23 rather than the older one
I followed this guide exactly except skipped all the magisk workaround stuff and just used the latest version of the magisk app to patch the boot.img

To be honest with you, I don't know if this will work for At&t, it might but I don't have the at&t model so I cannot verify for you. You can try flashing via adb sideload in recovery and see but non of us are responsible if things don't work lol

After a bit of experimentation I managed to get it to work. Although you can't just `add sideload` it since the verification will fail. You'll have to unlock the bootloader and dd some partitions manually. Then once it thinks it's the global variant you can `add sideload`. I made a thread about it https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/turn-at-t-into-a-the-global-variant.4393631/
