Hi guys, I have the Mi A2 Lite from the end of December last year and the phone is blocked at the update of December 5, 2018, I contacted Xiaomi assistance 3 times from February to today because their answers were always "we withdrew the update for problems "or similar, in the end I discovered through IMEI1 and IMEI2 that my phone was initially intended for the papua new guinea, and according to Xiaomi I can't update the phone in any way. At this point the question is obvious to me "so if one makes a trip abroad and buys a Xiaomi when he returns home he remains screwed ?!"
Do you know how I can update my phone? I tried expressvpn but it didn't work.
Thank you in advance for your help guys, I hope that anyone of you have the solution. I bought this phone for my father too, it's his first smartphone and I wouldn't want to feel guilty about making a wrong purchase.

Hello DominikMorelli,
Good Day !
1st You Need To Unlock The Boot-Loader (Off-Course Unlocking Boot-Loader Will Void Warranty) Then Download Latest Stock From MIUI Forum And Flash It With The Help Of IMFlash Tool.
Greetings !
Thanks,
MUHAMMAD Asif Qasim
Stock ROM for Mi A2 Lite: https://en.miui.com/download-354.html
MiFlash: https://en.miui.com/thread-345974-1-1.html
AFAIK unlocking the bootloader doesn't void warranty on AndroidOne devices, of course after you relock the bootloader. Because there is no way of knowing that it has been unlocked/flashed etc.

Yes You Are Absolutely Right. Bootloader Should Be Locked After Flashing The ROM Or In Flashing Time.
thank you guys
One last question, with this operation I will lose the data on the phone? if so I make a backup.

Yes DominikMorelli, You Will Lose The Data As Unlocking Bootloader Does Erase The Data.

Hi guys,
Not sure what's going on but I'm not getting any updates whatsoever. I tried checking manually but to no avail. I also tried downloading the Huawei HiSuite App, there are software updates under my model number but it's saying it's not approved. WTH's going on? Does anyone have info on this?
Thanks,

Its random it seems. I just got it yesterday. Someone else on this forum said they got it last week but their wife didnt get it until this week even though they bought their phones at the same time and live in the same location. So there is no pattern it seems when it comes to the rollout.

I did a little research and B101 builds are not getting anything at all. Our security patch is still Oct 2017. And other builds, though not getting updates at the same time, still managed to get something. I don't wanna root and go to that route but after Q1 and still no updates, I'll probably do it.
B102 same situation.. I think moderators should get all this topics in the same.. because they are everywhere in the forum
I have L24 US version of Honor 7X. It was stuck at firmware B101. Always said "No update". Customer support could not help. I had a ATT Mexico SIM in it. As soon as I changed the SIM to T-Mobile US, it found updates B130 and B140. So update depends on SIM.
I also bought another Honor 7X that had already B130 and put in Movistar Mexico SIM and it found right away update B140. So it may be that only B101 needs a US Sim to update.
I hope this helps other people who are still stuck at original firmware B101.
Same here....
Just Nitty grittyy...
bought my device from Alie Express, In the back of the phone it is written BND-AL10
But in the settings it says BND-L21
I updated to BND-L21xxxxB102XXX
but no updates after that...
in hisuite & firmware finder both app, there are updates for the device but it says not authorized for installation.
Any Idea?
Hi,
I have the same problem. My Phonemodel is BND-21. Also on the back. I bought my device from Amazon.de. The huawei- support says, that the phone is from Spain. I'm in Austria. Next week I will talk to the support again and ask why I don't get updates.
If I have some time I'll make a factory reset and check for updates.

I'm now seeing a fullOTA update thru firmware finder for Orea and it's approved for installation, however, it's saying download fail to me.
I'm getting fed up.
Hi newbie here..Any one here with build number 150 (BND AL10 C675 B150) for Indian Version of Honor 7x?The build numbers that I have come across here in XDA and in firmware finder app are B141 and B160 (Face Unlock update). I have not received any OTA updates for quite sometime and security patch is dated 01.01.2018.I must add that I had bricked my phone (due to careless use of root access) around 3 weeks back and got stock ROM and Recovery flashed as well as Bootloader relocked from Huawei's Authorised Service Centre.Could anyone please throw some light regarding this situation ? Thanks..
I have the same build number BNDL10C675B150 after update from B130 . But i did not get face unlock on honor 7x after this update. Honor promise to give face unlock update by 18 March 2018. So I purchased this mobile on 16 march. But it is fake promise for sale promotion and sale maximising.
Also My all friend get B141 update then to B160/B161 (Face unlock) . I still do not get face unlock feature after 1 week from the given date. It is a case of fraud and cheating , to divert mind from other brands.
I request the company from mail to please give me update as soon as possible for face unlock.
Also i did not understand what have you done or brick or root ur phone but My mobile is safe and nothing has been changed to it.. it is in warranty so i prefer not to do anything with it. But Still no face unlock update.

bro today i got update of face unlock .... Going to update but let me 1st share screenshot of it ???????????????????
New Version is BNDAL10C675B171 of Honor 7x
Hi, so I'm trying to get a bootloader unlock code for my 7X, but when I enter my info in the online registration form (https://emui.huawei.com/en/unlock_detail) all I get is the following message and no code: "If you have any questions about the unlock code application, please contact us."
Of course, I tried contacting customer support, as well as the official Huawei/Honor service center in my country, but all the people I spoke with were rude, uninformed, and refused to provide me with a code, even though I sent them Huawei's official statement on the discontinuation of the bootloader unlock program. It says all devices that launched prior to May 24th are eligible for a code, but I was basically told "Naaah, Huawei told us not to give out codes."
Further complicating the matters, my Honor 7X was purchased from China, even though it's the BND-L21 EU version. I really want to get my hands on a code before the program is discontinued. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Are you sure it's a L21? China should be AL10 maybe you can flash back to AL10 and see if any changes to the codes.

Yep, pretty sure. Bought it off Aliexpress, but it's the European version (or at least that's what it says in settings - BND-L21). I even recently updated to Oreo via Huawei Firmware Finder. Don't know what's going on...
Maybe the seller reflashed the ROM before sending it to you?
Hi,
I'm facing exactly same problem.
In the settings, shows BND-L21, but the sticker on the back of the phone shows BND-TL10 ! @Yanachkov, did you found a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Maybe try contact by email? https://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/?tag=email
I've sent two emails, two weeks and 3 days ago, respectivelly, but no response at all...
I'm worried because huawei will stop the unlock code application service by 2018-7-24, and I would not like to be stuck at EMUI forever...

I've got BND-L24 3GB/32GB
Almost with no hope and contradicting all my expectations, today I've received the official update notification! Even with the BND-TL10 device running BND-21 ROM.
Running Oreo now.
I contacted Huawei and requested a bootloader unlock code. Unfortunately they are no longer providing this information to customers. There are a couple of threads stating you can retrieve an unlock code from DC-Unlocker for roughly $4 but I haven't tried this method yet. Currently on EMUI 8.0 & Android 8.0 with BND-L24. looking for anyone who has successfully unlocked their bootloader using this method.
Hey There Guys,
Can anyone please guide me how can I rebrand my Honor 7x (BND-L31) to international variant....
Please Help as I haven't got a single update on BND-L31...
Rebranding is not recommended. Lots of things can go wrong in the process. I say you should flash a ROM, it will always have the latest updates.
I recommend OpenKirin's ROMs, especially LOS.

I surely understand the dangers of rebranding as I've done it before to my P8 Lite but I want updated EMUI on my phone and the variant I own [BND-L31C185D002] didn't even got EMUI 8....
I'm in a similar situation. I just got a BND-AL10 that I'm trying to turn into something I can use in the US. Can't get a bootloader unlock code apparently, I missed it by like 3 days. Am I the proud owner of a $200 brick?

Well, I have my bootloader unlock code. As soon as I knew about discontinuation of unlock codes from Huawei, I requested mine but I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet.

This hwota-bnd has rebranding process in it. Don't remember which oeminfo files are included. Take a look. If other oeminfo files are needed perhaps we can get them.
**Edit
Just looked again, the eominfo file for c185 is not there
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77134788&postcount=6
But maybe before rebrand, try to install the c185D001 version

I'm also in the same boat. Bought a BND-AL10 from India and not even the 3G or 2G bands of Tmobile is working here in US. I contacted Hawaii several times asking for the unlock code but they don't bother even to listen (for obvious reasons). I managed to unlock the boot loader by paying $5 in dc-unlocker. (google and you will find it but I'm not authorized to post the link here). Now I have the unlocked bootloader but I'm still searching for a solid answer if I can flash another ROM (such as the US version of 7X, Mate SE) on my device without bricking it. Please let me know if you have any update.
So, its about one year since moto G plus 5G received February 2021 Security Patch.
This phone was released in July 2020.
For sure this will be my last Moto [email protected]#!€g Lenovo phone.
Btw, 5G is not working with Vodafone PT with Android 11. WTF?
Will anyone buy a new motorola phone?

Curious - mine had an update the other day.
Lucky you.
Which country?
Same situation, same country (Portugal)
Hi @masfreitas. Portugal too here, VDF operator, unlocked phone bought at Fnac.
I Have reported at Lenovo forums. Still waiting for feed-back
Link : https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/moto-g-5G-plus/One-year-without-security-updates/m-p/5127889?page=1
@hteles same operator, but i bought mine from Amazon ES.
Great, they seem to keep answering to you. i will try that solution "Rescue and Smart Assistant tool" tomorrow (if i don't forget it xD), then i can tell you the result.
Hi! @masfreitas
Thank you. I have little faith on that. i think that the problem lies on the lack of updates by Motorola and not any FOTA problem with our phones.
Please keep me posted. If it is the solution, i will update mine in the next weekend.
They are still struggling with android 11
Hi @hteles. It worked! You just have to do the rescue with that tool.
Thanks by sharing the post!
Hi @masfreitas.
Thank you very much. Will have to wait for the weekend. This is both my work and personal phone with dual sim.

All is well. Had the time to do so.
Let's just hope the new updates will come by OTA now!
Nice weekend. Stay safe.
Yes, that was my though, if OTA updates will come naturaly now, or if we must do rescue every time. Lets hope not. Eventually i may install a custom ROM, after the 2 years of warranty be done, as i did with my old moto g5.
