It's almost guaranteed we will get a stock B27 recovery image. I do not see them dumping MiFavor, not even with N.
Question is what kind of recovery method will they use (DFU/EDL flasher or just full zip) and can we generated custom "MiFavor" from them

So please let's go
I am so ready. I have been holding off on unlocking, installing recovery and root until something worth while shook loose. Let's do this!
UnBrick tool will be good. I'm waiting for it. I hope that they release soon.
Would be great if it's something with bootloader unlock
Hopefully it's stock images so I can finally root my phone free of worry.
System images all but confirmed! Great news!

Factory images and new bootloader unlock process coming next week. Update #3 to come in the following weeks.
Fingers crossed update #3 is the nearly stock nougat build we saw running on a Chinese axon 7 last week!

as long as they don't make you sign away our warranty for the bootloader unlock and stock image use, else I'll have to do it the old way and keep my warranty under US law.
Nothing for EU still. Looks like EU won't get an official unlock...
Sadly this has nothing to do with the EU model whatsoever.
Very sad to see the EU model just 'ignored' and forgotten in terms of bootloader unlock and updates.

I'm guessing since they say that's in final testing and next update is almost ready to roll out, I'd more guess it will be with whatever that build is. But it will definitely just be a stock image, not AOSP.

The EU model has had just as many updates as the US one at this point. US got B18->B20->B27. EU has gotten B02->B03->B05.
Bootloader is slightly different, but the US model currently doesn't have support for that either, as they pulled it to rework it.
Where the US is definitely better is in communication from the respective ZTE branch.

A couple of days ago i had contact with ZTE Germany for this N update. (my previous post)
They stated clearly that this update was scheduled for end of january.
Now, today as i read, they are looking for 20 testers...isn't this not a little bit too late when a release would be scheduled by the end of this month ?
In general how quick can a beta Nougat be tested to release a full working N?
Didnt they sey end of february mid march? not really sure but i think i read something like that on a screenshot from zte germany

Maybe someone would ask in the thread. Really sad if they change the release
Well, the A2017U and A2017G are pretty similiar, so I guess they already have most of the features in.
A sprint is about 2 weeks and you can go from a public beta to release in one or two sprints.

How do you know they are working with sprints? How do you know they have 2 week sprints? Still, big issues can come from the public beta test which will delay the release.

Had some further discussion this morning with ZTE.
They keep holding the date of the end of January even with this test...let's wait and see.
ZTE remarked also that the update to Nougat would imply that it would be difficult and not be recommandable to downgrade to 6 again (if you would/want/needed to).
Can someone confirm this that downgrading to 6 would be very tricky and risky?
Hmm I think that with ADB method it shouldn't be tricky - but I might be wrong. May the update will change recovery / bootloader idk.
PS. I'm from Poland and I do not speak Germany but I will be willing to help as beta tester.

I would think ADB would make this easy as usual, but i have never downgraded (if i and other users are needed to for some reason) before.
Perhaps someone, who has allready performed a OS-downgrade before or does know exactly how this should be done, could give us some insight in this ( even to prevent some possible issues in the future)

It's usually very easy (done it with a Nexus 5, Xperia Ray, Xperia Z1 Compact, Oneplus X). You just have to flash the previous OS's zip in recovery - or, in the Galaxy and Xperia's cases, with a PC tool (Odin, Flashtool). The Oneplus was the most complicated but even that was simple - I had to flash the older bootloader as well. Although ZTE may have something up their sleeve... I'm not sure.
Here's hoping Nougat will be so good we won't want to downgrade!
As long as ZTE doesn't do nasty things in the bootloader downgrading on unlocked devices will be trivial and very likely possible on locked ones too.
If they install more restrictive bootloader you can probably avoid that by keeping the old one but that means blindly flashing the OTA won't be an option.
Personally I feel like nougat would have to be exceptional for me to live with stock and to renounce xposed, otherwise I will stick with lineage for the time being.

Indeed let's hope the N update is that good we dont need to downgrade afterall
I saw some reflashing of a nexus from Lollipop to Kitkat and it was really simple. Just flash in ADB the 'flash-all' with an unlocked BL and you're good to go.(+wipe data/factory data reset in recovery)
If there is no flash-all file which files have to be flashed in fastboot and in what order ? Is there some guide to do this properly for all type of phones using ADB?

IIRC the order is: bootloader, recovery, system. But there are a ton of guides online, and here on XDA, that you can use to verify :good:

I downgraded Moto g xt1039 from 7.1.1 to original 4.0.2 (or 5.x I can not remember) via service menu recovery. That was super easy - sotck OTA image (flashable with all things eg. Bootloader, recovery etc), then fews pushing , wipe, reboot and done
You can find step by step guide in Moto g 4g development submenu on XDA
As mentioned above, sometimes changes are made in the bootloader which deny a downgrade. Same with the modem/baseband. I've seen older moto g's (xt1031) refuse to work with a downgraded baseband.
As enthusiasts, we'll have to take apart the update and flash only what needs to be flashed to obtain a working nougat.
There is a possibility of partitions changing when going to nougat. There was some added partitions that if you went to roll on one of the phones that I have owned that would brick your phone if it wasn't done correctly. I wish that I could remember the phone but the update added something like 10 more partitions that dealt with bootloader security and what not. This could possibly be an issue but I do not know much about ZTE phones.
IIRC, htc did this on the evo 4g lte during one of the 4.x upgrades.. I believe it was on 4.3. The emmc was completely restructured.
Just FYI, it appears with the new Blv3 firmwares, the device will only accept official firmware. Meaning, no more flashing U1 firmware on the carrier models, or vice versa. No more flashing U or U1 firmware to the Canadian W models. Flashing between carrier firmwares is fine as long as it's on a carrier branded device (running TMB on a VZW device, etc). But running 950U firmware on a 950U1 will result in a brick, that is this far unrecoverable.
If your currently are running U1 firmware on a U device, vice versa, or running W firmware on a U or U1 device, or vice versa, you need to flash back to the firmware version that shipped with your device BEFORE you accept any OTAs that take you up to Blv3. Currently the S series is still on BlV2, but may go to Blv3 like the Note series just did.*
This has been tested and confirmed.
Credit goes to @me2151, @FatalONEM8*for discovering this and warning people. I didn't find the issue or test, it just passing on the info to hopefully save some bricks.
Update from @mweinbach:
EDIT: After being tested by XDA Senior member me2151, it turns out cross region flashing does work. Prince Comsy Odin is working, but we can not test if the factory binary flashing will hard brick your phone. So flashing US unlocked onto a US carrier device should work.
This myth has been completely busted. We are not sure what bricked the tester's phone. He was not trying to downgrade from Blv3 to Blv2, nor did it have anything to do with FRP lock or user accounts as some people (who weren't involved in the testing) suggested.
But as we have verified, and has also been verified by users here at XDA, Prince Comsy ODIN still works on Blv3. Carrier switching still works on Blv3. @BlueFox721 has posted the Factory Binary files for Blv3 as well as a guide for carrier switching.
So carry on! Canadians, feel free to use U software! U users, feel free to use U1 software!
I am happy to admit I was wrong, and I apologize for any frantic flashing and factory resets I caused. I genuinely was trying to prevent hard bricks, and decided to err on the side of caution, even if that meant I overreacted.
Thank you for understanding!

Seriously, post back here when you test it.
There is currently a group working on a fix for bricked devices, but for now consider it a hard brick. Don't chance it.
Im confused by what is posted by OP. I bought an unlocked device directly from Samsung and if I recall, it was a U1. I immediately flashed the Verizon firmware version (1AQ15) and have been getting OTAs. This morning I updated via OTA to 3BRA5 with no problem. Given no issues, should I worry if I ever need to ODIN a Verizon firmware with v3 BL in the future?

You may have lucked out. I'll bring it to the attention of the Telegram group.
Can somebody smarter then me explain what this means for me?
I'm currently a 950W device running BLV3 CRAD from the 950U
From what I understand, don't accept OTAs, so I've turned off auto update,
but from what I can see, I'm not able to register my phone to receive OTA's
because I'm on unreleased firmware.
ignore it, aslong as you flash a BL3 firmware through odin, I was on oreo too and used the nougat 7.1.1 with BL3 which was just released, you can flash with odin with no issues whatsoever, Only use firmware from N950U and youl be fine

So far there have been no issues with the oreo leaks on blv3. But what we've seen is once the official releases come out, if you accept an OTA or ODIN to the new official firmware. It will brick if you're trying to use a different region CSC. I.e. running 950U firmware on a 950W or vice versa.

Ohh okay, that makes sense, so for example, if I stay on this build, once an official odin of the 950W comes out with BLV3 I can safely odin to that?

Yes that is my understanding. We are still researching.
This is a very bastardly, and Apple like thing for Samsung to do! Not pleased that I'm going to have to either stay on my current build of Nougat forever or flash back to Sprint, as Sprint disables things like Samsung's built in caller ID and replaces it with their own pay app. Not to mention a tonne of other unwanted bloat.
How does the boot loader know the firmware has been cross flashed anyway? I thought all that mattered was that the image was signed by Samsung.

I don't asked because the modded Odin, I asked because that new boatloader update. The boatloader for Exynos are different to Snapdragon. But I think you guys are right. I could bet that new secured boatloader entries are also into Exynos boatloader.

I'm sure this is just coincidence, but I've been trying to get a Sprint S7 working properly on T-mobile's network and was communicating with both T-mobile and Samsung support all last week, advocating for both of them to increase their bootloader version. In particular, I think it makes sense for the 930U to always match or exceed the highest carrier version. I'm not sure if there's any substantive difference among bootloader versions, but that way users would always have the freedom to switch carriers. (The 930P often fails to make calls on T-mobile's network, since it doesn't support VoLTE).
This should probably drop around mid-November based on past updates and codes.
I have bootloader version 7 I think if it goes by the 5th number. I keep getting fuse errors when I try to flash this phone and I've never flashed anything before.

Ahh OKay I figured mine was 7 because I'm on Oreo and my PDA: G930PVPS7CRH2. IM on the sprint variation and I'm just stuck at this point. I rooted my moto 4 plus the first day I tried which is a snapdragon as well. This Odin things tricky though. I guess I can't get the new xposed either then unless it's possible to install without flashing. I really would appreciate anyones help thanks ?

I'm not sure about xposed, but if you're stuck with your phone in a non-functional state after trying to install a lower bootloader firmware, you can always re-flash the latest stock sprint firmware.
On Gearbest they are selling an international Mi Pad 4, I'm pretty sure this rom is a vendor rom, so I've a few questions.
1. Is it safe?
2. Does the bootloader come unlocked?
3. Does it still receive OTA updates and all the normal things you'd get on stock china rom?
I bought my unit (4/64GB International - BLACK) from gearbest.com.
1. I received it in two weeks with the free shipping option, although i believe the nominal timeframe is ~25 days. The online package tracker indicated the shipment having departed from Belgium.
2. Yes, at least mine was unlocked.
3. I couldn't update mine using the MIUI Updater app.
The unit i received was loaded with something that looks like the Chinese ROM (MIUI 9) bundled with google play.

I think you must have the vendor rom then, nothing is wrong with this rom but I don't think it gets updates much or at all.
You can flash the official Xiaomi rom here:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.27.0....DJCNFD_20180907.0000.00_8.1_cn_174c740a1b.tgz
Please be aware you will have to manually install the Play Store as it is a China rom.
Yeah, the device doesn't receive any updates in its stock configuration. After flashing the latest stable Chinese ROM i went with phh's AOSP GSI without the Play Store.
Be happy when you get unlocked Bootloader.. Normaly these days it needs 720hours to unlock = 30 days.
And use xaiomi.eu ROM for "international feeling" (it is based on chinese version, but has translations).
Update: I received my Mi Pad 4 with the "global" rom, it was a shop rom with no updates and a few system app force closes such as the Weather app. I flashed the official China Stable rom and it's working great.

For those in the U.S., is it preferable to buy one with official China ROM or one with one of these "international/.vendor" ROMs?

I am in Britain, I chose the China ROM as it is by Xiaomi so most stable and won't brick my device.

You should buy one with the China ROM and sideload Google Play. The vendor ROM doesn't get OTA updates and isn't fully stable.
However if you want an unlocked bootloader, buy one with a vendor rom and then flash the China stable ROM, this is because the vendor ROM is already unlocked so you won't have to wait to unlock the bootloader.
Isn't it better to buy one with unlocked bootloader and flash xiaomi.eu rom?

Yes, buy the international vendor room one that comes with an unlocked bootloader, then flash the China Stable like I did or a custom room of your choice like xiaomi.eu

Update: I received my Mi Pad 4 with the "global" rom, it was a shop rom with no updates and a few system app force closes such as the Weather app. I flashed the official China Stable rom and it's working great.

Hi, I have just ordered an MI Pad 4 plus. Only after it was shipped I noticed it is one with "international Rom" or vendor Rom. So I am guessing it will have the bootlocker unlocked already but how do I update it to the Original Rom so I can get future Updates? Any guidance would be very much appreciated. I am a little bit new to this and not that tech savvy.
Thank you

As soon as it arrives the bootloader will be unlocked, this is required for the tablet to boot a vendor rom. Just follow this once you get it: https://en.miui.com/thread-4590474-1-1.html
Feel free to message me if you run in to any issues.
Use the China beta method as you will need to flash it via fastboot.

This video is not what you need to do, the bootloader will be already unlocked if you have a vendor rom, you should just flash China Stable with the guides I linked earlier.
Merry Christmas, thanks for the drink offer but I'm up here in Yorkshire. Have a good Christmas Eve.

If you need a bit more information, download the fasboot rom from here:
https://en.miui.com/thread-4590474-1-1.html
And flash it using this guide: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Remember when you flash it use one of these options:
flash_all (Flashes and wipes data keeps bootloader unlocked)
flash_all_lock (Flashes and wipes data and locks bootloader)
do NOT use the option to save your data, doing this coming from a vendor rom will cause a bootloop.
Hope this helps.

Good job, I'm going to flash a stock android ROM, because I'm getting sick of MIUI.
When will there be MSM Unbrick for oneplus 10t? I am waiting because I don't dare to do anything about my phone for fear of error.
Nope
Also need it...like to flash back to NA variant....

not needed to flash other regions.... look for my guide to drop sometime tomorrow or Monday. I sucessfully DOWNGRADED, 3 full revisions lower, and converted my 10T 5g, from a 2419 (tmobile) to a 2415 (Eu/Global) ... and i have jumped around to the NA 2417 & India 2413, all using the same proces. So i can confirm that it can be done.
I am just finishing, verifying that ive covered ALL the important facts, and my steps are clear and concise. But no more than 48hrs til i post it!

Will I need to be rooted? Flashed beta 1 Android 13eu version and the cellular data is wonky and I can't flash back to 2417 .10 or update to .10 2417. I.m stuck on either .08eu or beta1eu....it won't let me update to .10eu for some reason.
I'm not rooted at the moment. It looks as though I will need a beta Android 13 2417 variant full package to flash back to a 2417 and we don't have it yet..
uh when does oneplus usually release the msm tool for the oneplus devices and any estimate for when it will be for the 10t model?

They don't release it, it leaks, and it's useless to the end user now as it uses a VIP signature to authenticate and that signature is generated by the unique chip ID in each phone when it connects to their server. In other words, you have to send it to OnePlus if you brick it.

Correct. They have become very hostile to the very people who made their brand take off to begin with - power users and gamers. They've snubbed both groups.

well.. complicated to explain but I will keep it short some partitions for each of IND EU AND USA are not exactly the same. but why luck plays a part in it because sometimes it can be successful due to some of them actually are being the same but a bit of a different code but similar enough to where it would not brick it so basically it all depends on luck.
