Hi all, I have an honor 7x (obviously) BND-L21 running EMUI 5.1 and Android Nougat. I have used a guide (which i am sure was from here) to unlock my bootloader and root the phone using twrp a while ago.
I have now noticed there is an OTA update to EMUI 8 and Android Oreo.
My questions are these...
I have downloaded the OTA update and tried to install it only to be taken every time to TWRP. After reading up on this i can see this is obvious but none the less i cant update my phone via this method.
I have copied the files downloaded from the update, (namely update_data_full_public.zip, update_full_BND-L21c_hw_eu.zip and update.zip) to my SD card.
So... 1) can i just flash the above zips using twrp and then reroot again with twrp and be on the latest firmware.
2) if not this method then do i have to remove twrp and then update to then put twrp back on again and root etc.
3) if anyone knows what i should be doing to update without bricking my phone then i apologise but i havent seen the correct thread on this. (seen many indian variants or others i'm not sure are applicable to my device)
Thanks for anything you guys can help with..
You need stock recovery for emui update. Flash stock recovery update. Then flash twrp of you need to root
download multi tool 8 for honor 7x
connect it
go to recovery section
install stock recovery
then u can install oreo update
Hi guys
I'm really confused.
I have EU Op9pro le2123
I'm rooted and when I'm trying to get OTA the device telling me that Im already updated
My current version is 11.2.6.6
I have 2 questions. Is there any update for my device or it's only for the global version .
The other question is how can I OTA ?
I don't have bootloader omg backup so I can't unroot .
Please advise
Updates are always staged updates. Some markets/regions get them via the official way before others.
Install Oxygen Updater app. If there is an update, it will tell you.
There are some threads on how to update if you are rooted.
Best you read them or search for them.
You are not the first with this question/issue....
Use Oxygen Updater to download the rom (11.2.7.7BA is available now).
If you are rooted then it will download the full rom, this is normal, if you're not rooted then it should download the OTA version.
The file will be stored in your main sdcard folder.
You can update from Settings>System>System Updates. Tap the cog on the top right and choose local upgrade, then choose the file downloaded, it will then be installed, then restart.

But if rooted, don´t forget Magisk before rebooting ..
Thank you all
Hi all,
I moved my TMO 9pro to the EU rom about six weeks ago. I cannot recall for sure when I first did this if I took the update via the oxygen updater method, or via local system update (which is what I am leaning towards I did).
Has the 11.2.9.9 version been released for the LE15BA models? If so, how did you all get this? I tried to download and install via the Oxygen updater, but just get System Update installation failed error.
I have no problem waiting for the actual version to arrive via OTA, but I wanted to check.
Thanks.
The new build is released for the eu model
and can be downloaded via oxygen updater.
sometimes the local updater reports an error, which usually helps after you have downloaded the build (and moved / copied it to the root directory of the internal memory) restart the mobile phone and then install the build using the local updater

Do not take the update without flashing the modem.bin afterwards, otherwise you will lose cell service. Don't update if you're not near a PC or don't have root or a custom recovery to flash the bin.

Are you downloading and installing the full version, or the incremental? I tried the incremental, and I get the error of system update installation failed.
I will flash the modem afterwards. I did not want to download and try and install the full version, the incremental keeps failing for me.

Which are you downloading and installing? The incremental or the full version? I am not rooted, not on a custom kernel.
It's safer just to wait and upgrade, since the incremental and full upgrade may require you to flash the modem partition again.
As in normal I mean if I bought a Chinese version with a global rom will it function the same as a global version? I think the bands are all the same. Like will it get updates, Google pay ect. Any down sides? Thanks in advanced.

I tried searching with no luck. I'd like to download the latest TMO OTA update so I can extract the boot image myself and use it to root the device. Anyone know where I can find a download to it? Latest TMO firmware is: LE2127_11.C.17_0170_202204081927
You have to make sure bootloader is unlocked first. I did it with the 11.2.9.9 being I am on A11 from the instructions posted the guide from Steve0007. Then installed another script from another senior member lebigmac and I now have full root...

These are the latest ota links for the T-Mobile variant after using 11.2.3.3 msm. If you used 11.2.5.5, 11.2.6.6 or 11.2.8.8 msm. The OOS 11 incremental update will be a different size. The only full update so far is the OOS 12 11_C.16 update.

wow somebody actually was able to save these, and post them instead of saying TMO firmware is not support
KUDOS to you..
Can you please explain how you were able to do this one the oneplus 9pro
i know i can do it on sammy phones, but this oneplus has me baffled.
Had to use logcat to find the ota links.
Command was
Adb logcat > ota.txt
I started recording the logcat and then started the update. A few seconds later I stopped the update and the logcat.
Then I scanned through until I found the links.

Could someone advise me on how to update to the latest OTA? I'm on 11.2.6.6.LE5ACB and was rooted and had TWRP installed. I've managed to flash my stock boot.img and can confirm TWRP is no more. The System Update is prompting me to install LE2127_11_C.16 (147mb) but fails with an "installation problem" error. Do I need to flash the boot.img from the 11.2.99 and then flash that incremental update, then the full C16... or can I jump to the C18 boot.img.
Apologies in advance, I've been at this all day.
Thanks
I believe the issue is that your bootloader is unlocked. Don't try to lock it though you could end up hard bricking your phone. You have your unlock_code.bin so I suggest you msm and take the ota updates directly from T-Mobile before unlocking your bootloader. Don't just try flashing the updates from above or you'll end up in a brick. Download the ota updates in the order that T-Mobile sends you.

It is definitely unlocked. Sigh. Just to confirm, there's no way to flash the full 11.C_16 TMO OTA from recovery or fastboot then? Trying to avoid the full wipe via MSM but appears to be inevitable.
Thank you

Open Magisk and uninstall and restore original boot.img..... close Magisk, do the OTA update then let me know what version you are on. I don't recommend going to 11.C_17 which is Android 12 it is crappy. I am LE2127 TMO 11.2.9.9 Android 11 fully rooted with custom fonts and custom bootanimation
The way I think that it will work is if you msm back to factory tmo . You still have bits and pieces left over. So save everything you want to a PC and then start fresh. This will also do away with a lot of issues that happen when you try to do a what they call a dirty flash.

I had unlocked bootloader and was still able to update OTA C17 A12 and root with Magisk...I did completely uninstalled Magisk after restoring the boot img in Magisk....
I had installed TWRP, and I think that was my problem. Even after restoring the original boot.img, it was still failing. I MSM'd to stock and then had no issues receiving the OTAs.
How to update OB2 to F.16? Local update, with msmtool and all ota to F.16 or just wait for ota.
Use the oxygen updater app, get the full zip and do the local update.
Not sure if your question was for rooted or non-rooted, however, if for non-rooted, I did just like what @DroidShift79 stated above, I downloaded the full zip F.16 for my region (EU) and installed using local update and successfully upgraded from OB2 (F.11) to F.16 with no issues and without any data loss.

I forgot to mention that I am rooted. But that's not a problem if I accidentally lose root. When I come back from work, I will update it.
