HomTom HT3: firmware update, root

Posting this because there seems to be no information on this device not in Russian.
Bought a HomTom HT3 (non-Pro). Came with firmware 1.0.1, and no OTA update available (seems HomTom's server has been down for some time, and their website is no help). 1.0.1 firmware doesn't seem rootable by any method I tried (not an experiences Android hacker, or even user).
Using SP Flash Tool (MediaTek flash tool) it's possible to flash official 2.0.8 firmware (latest, near as I can tell). I'd post a direct link to the firmware on Google Drive, but new user restrictions. You can Google: "M20_HT3_V2.0.8_user_20160419-14_29_27.zip"
In my case it was necessary to install the MediaTek VCOM drivers as well.
With 2.0.8 installed, rooting is as simple as installing and running KingRoot. Hope this helps someone.
p.s. it seems the Russians have CM and other customs ROMS for this phone.

You can Google: "M20_HT3_V2.0.8_user_20160419-14_29_27.zip"

I have exactly the same problem that u described.
But unfortunately the file was deleted from Google drive and I am screwed unless u can maybe send it to me or upload it and send me the link? I would appreciate a lot!! Really man, I am going crazy here x(

Unfortunately don't have. I'd suggest scouring HomTom's facebook page, including through user posts, for firmware links.

Damn, but thanks for your advice.
Btw do u have a recovery that works for this version?

I have problem with Homtom HT3 PRO version. After using SP Flash Tool to upgrade official ROM phone starting with broken picture. What I can do?

A numpties guide to rebranding

This is simply a collection of information with some blanks filled in to allow those not as well versed in huawei/ADB as myself to rebrand. After 4 days of agony with Funkyhuawei and very little info i managed to resolve the issue myself. Primarilly, rebranding from pie on their toolkit would not work and i did not feel comfortable rebranding the more involved ways explained on here here.
You will need a membership to FH and credits. Also to have selected the same version eg 8.0.0.159 for the TARGET region. for me, i was c782 but rebranding to c432 so selected clt-l09c432 8.0.0.159
It is written with the intention of using FHRebrandTool2, as this one allows you to remain as CLT-L09 if that is your model, not force a switch to L29 even without dual sim
First, obviously, if you cant/havent unlcked FRP and bootloader, stop reading now. You're process is finished lol
Second, remove all security pins and fingerprints (developer options>require to be unlocked>off)
If you are on pie, use this incredibly simple automated script setup from @Androlark thank you my friend for this as you saved me here https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?ur...share_tid=3841687&share_fid=3793&share_type=t this is necessary as rebrandtool does not operate correctly with android 9 but fh instructions and even FH help are unclear on
For the correct software, download your latest android 8 version from Firmware Finder, taking note of the changelog, the flashing requires older update version with THREE folders, the giveaway is the changelog says "this will rollback your device to emui8" (dont rollback using Hisuite, as it itself advises not to if device unlocked. When selecting download in FF you may be presented with a list of many folders, most with the same name, simply click one of each name (update, public and cltxxxxxhw) transfer these to your phone after checking "check availability by imei" and doublechecking you have selected the correct region (C782,c432 etc)
Before flashing, to save panic, READ "AFTER FLASH INSTRUCTIONS" in flashy folder of extracted flashtool downloaded from above.
Follow post and flash.bat instructions and its all automated.
Factory Reset as advised when complete
Wahey you're back on old faithful Oreo and still device unlocked
Now startup device, complete basic setup to access menu, ensure adb AND allow adb during charge mode are on (this helps stop adb turning back off at restart in some cases) ensure to forget any wifi connection you used during setup
Back to fastboot (device off, hold power down,connect cable to computer) once loaded run FHRebrandTool2 again, being careful if you use manual entry to assign new model and region
Once complete and you restart you will keep getting connect usb to continue rebrand dont panic, hold power until shutdown then hold volume down and connect usb to computer again, you will get Erecovery. Select Install latest package and use the FunkyHuawei instruction from here, EG change DNS on router or use a computer as a hotspot to install new region software and wait.........wait.........wait.........funkyhuaweis carrier pidgeons are a bit slow
Rebranded and update back to pie and enjoy the precious security updates

Proof is in the pudding [emoji16] currently waiting on hisuite downloading my first update to 161

Flash stock rom without data loss

Hi there!
It's been a few years since my I flashed Firmwares on my S6 with Odin so please forgive me if I'm not quite up to date on that topic.
Background: For installing custom emojis on my S9 I wanted to use Zfont, however, this doesn't work. I did some research and it is said that zfont won't work on debloated Samsung firmwares. Next step would be temporarily re-bloating my debloated device. I tried, however, I couldn't manage to reinstall all the Samsung apps since I don't rebember all of the packages that I removed and the few that have been recovered were not enough to make Zfont work.
In the old days you just could flash the stock rom on a working device to get all the uninstalled factory apps back. Is this possible with Android 10 and OneUI 2.5? Will my data be wiped if I flash it with the current firmware? Do I need OEM unlock?

Download latest firmware. Unzip it, there will be 5 files to flash with Odin.
Home_csc - will keep your data
csc - will wipe your data

Thank you for the info.

Yes
When looking for firmware use your baseband version number in about phone-software info as a base to look for firmware on the net. Just bare in mind you can't downgrade (bootloader/binary) firmware ( 5th number/letter from right of firmware name).
You can also use frija pc tool to download lastest firmware. It will be quicker than sammobil. Your have to search here on xda as i can't post links at the moment.

The flashing process went fine. Unfortunately, it didn't bring back the disabled apps. Probably because they have been disabled via adb for user 0, which means that they're still on that device but inactive for the current user.
At this point, I just don't want to spend any more investigating which missing apps causes zfont not to work.

Question LE2120 IN Version

So I bought a oneplus 9 pro from a dude yesterday for 500 bucks which is an absolute steal. I unfortunately however have the Indian version of the software (Oxygen OS 11.2.10.10.LE15DA)(Model: LE2120) so none of my 5g bands are working, which is the main reason I upgraded.
1.) Yes I know there's a very popular forum about how to flash the global version of oxygenOS but the thread gets posted in and updated constantly with different info from different people so it's harder to follow.
I need the following:
1.) Previous IN Oxygen build to downgrade.
2.) Current Global OxygenOS Version to upgrade.
I know doing this can wipe your data but the phone is a day old so I don't have any data. I can easily switch IMEI numbers through TMobile app as well so I'm not worried about that changing if it does. I just want the correct versions of the ROMS so I don't up/downgrade to the wrong versions and critically mess it up. Any help is appreciated and thank you!

If I'm incorrect with any of the information I provided please correct me as well. I truly appreciate any information on this topic!

Can you post your phone info, I got my from clicking on settings>about phone
I know you already mentioned it in the text, but a picture would help.

Flashing a global/europe firmware wont fix your 5G. You need to do some extra step and need to be rooted to get the 5G back. And 2120 it's Chinese version which comes with Color OS as primary but sellers found a way to flash Indian firmware there and flashed and sold the phone.
Below you will find LE15DA Indian downgrade to 11.2.5.5 link: https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OnePlu...110_all_2107082121_downgrade_66a1f653e8ee4eb5
Downgrade to this and then install European firmware but wont get back 5G anyway try.

Any non confusing forum post you could link me in order to get 5g? Or preferably a YouTube tutorial. Thanks in advance

Question I have several problems when I get to Miui 14

The first thing I want to say is that I'm using Google Translate
I just updated the EU ROM MIUI 14 and I have 2 errors below.
+when I first uploaded the rom, the status bar was normal but then the status bar, the notification panel, it was completely transparent,
+When I go to Google services and some parts of the settings, it changes the background color to light brown.
I need to know if it's a ROM bug or if I've
installed something wrong, and I'll fix it.
looking forward to help from everyone..
I know the EU ROM can't update via OTAs. But on MIUI 14, I open the update section, there is a message "Choose to update via OTA or via TWRP" I also see the section Select update package in the settings section
Thank you.

When updating from android to the next android you better make factory reset to avoid confliction between the two systems.

First I thank you for your reply.
i tried factory reset but it didn't fix it.
my case is like reading mode, but i don't turn it on at all both before the upgrade and after the upgrade.
When I upgrade, I can restore previously backed up data.

Which EU version you installed is it Stable or Beta.

When this happens it is advised to install original version of miui and then flash EU one to resolve issues.
upgrading from 13.0.6 upwards shouldn't be an issue i expect you must have had something on the system which is broken before hand.

thank you.
i am not good at computer, before upgrade was running miui 12.5.8 .
now i need to go back to 12.5.8 or to miui china.
if back to 12.5.8, I asked the store where I bought it and flashed the rom, it said "if back to the old version of 12.5.8, the phone may leak.
if i go to miui china, can i update myself via ota to go back to miui.eu.
