Huawei p20 lite is not supporting volte. Can someone guide me how to enable it? - Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers

I recently bought huawei p20lite/nova 3e from middle east. I am from India and i have inserted jio sim in phone. As phone needs volte supports for jio sim to work,I can't make calls but able to use Internet. Can someone guide me how to enable volte?

As far as I know there is volte supported in p20 lite/nova 3e

P20 Lite supports VoLTE and VoWiFi, but your Service Provider also needs to support and enable it for particular phone model.

Called the service provider but they said imported phones does not support the jio network please go to Huawei service center

is there any way to flash Indian firmware to Middle East P20 Lite?

Does flashing Indian firmware will work

Iam also facing the same problem. Bought nova 3e from K. S. A, but p20 lite indian varients are coming with volte feature i guess. So there must be way for the other country phones also right?

i have an European ANE-LX1 C432 and No Problems with VOLTE and VoWifi . The Feature is only available in Settings, if the Service Provider supports it , otherwise you dont see the Option.
Flashing another Firmware maybe show the VoLTE Settings , but it don´t mean that this have to work
Working VOLTE depends on many Things:
1. The Service Provider have to activate VOLTE for your Sim
2. Older Sim Cards are not supported
3. Huawei Firmware needs VOLTE Information integrated for your Service Provider (CSC)
4. Right APN Settings
I have to Sim Cards in my P20 Lite , One Sim supports VOLTE an VoWifi , the other does not.

If you have magisk installed, you may try flashing the VoLTE module from magisk, and confirm. One has to take the least pain for getting VoLTE with this method. If this doesn't work, you might have to try downloading and installing firmwares for other countries and test one by one. So far the Indian variant stock ROM is found nowhere as Huawei provides no support for Indian Variant except for OTP updates. Indian variant of P20 lite has currently no support anywhere.

For the people asking for firmware

Finally made it possible. I buyied Huawei nova 3e (p20 lite) from UAE .
I spent almost 5 hrs for making this possible. I checked here some other sites for enabling this Volte in this mobile. I will update steps for enabling this. I will never buy mobile from Huawei again. waisted this much time for this even after spending money.
Thanks for h3lp guyz.. U have to spend money for boot unlocker - DC unlocker . This is only way to get unlocker code

Enabling Volte in p20 lite (Nova3e). (Successful done) jio working perfectly
Use this method to unlock the bootloader
1. Use the second method - DC unlocker. I think the huawei website is not giving away any codes from now onwards. Failed I tried it one time.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/how-to/unlock-methods-to-unlobootloader-t3794725
2. Before trying the DC unlocker please make sure you have installed hisuite and all the drivers of huawei
3. After installating the DC unlocker(dc-unlocker2client_1.00.1403) in your PC. As explained in the post by wisper please make sure you are changing it to manufacture mode.
4. Enable oem unlocking and usb debugging before using the dc unlocker
5. After doing all the above please proceed to get the unlock code from DC unlocker code. If everything is right it will detect our mobile make sure you are installing the latest version of dc unlocker (dc-unlocker2client_1.00.1403 )
select huawei modem from the list and click on autodetect
it will detect and show hisilicon processor or something
Next you have to buy the credit from the DC unlocker website you have to spend 4 eur.
They give you password and username which you have to create.
You have to put this user name and password and click on login in
Then click on unlocking tab in the DC unlocker software
Click on read bootloader code and it will give you the unlock code which you have to save and keep it with you.
Unlocking the boot loader using this code
Please use this video for the unlocking of boot loader - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvCgLoYyasA
Follow the steps in the video once he got boot unlocker code. You will have the adb and fast boot in the DC unlocker rar file itself. No need to download separately.
Check your serial number is showing once you use the fast boot devices command which is shown in the video. It confirms you are in the right track. During boot unlocking you will get prompt to allow boot unlocking select the option using volume control and power button.
Note : I faced some difficulty in going to the fast boot mode. You have to go to fast boot mode before doing the commands. For going to fast boot mode please turn off the mobile and remove the usb connection from mobile. Then reconnect the usb again and immediately hold volume down and power button together it will go the fast boot mode it will show frb unlock and locked something in that window.
Once boot loader is unlocked. Your mobile will reboot to normal mode.
The mobile will reboot after and it will show phone is untrusted blah blah,
Next go for the rooting . All this I have done without any backup. Thats was the riskest part in this.
Please use this link for rooting which I have done successfully - https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-huawei-p20-lite/
Again go to the fast boot mode follow the same steps I mention above.
And perform the same steps in the website.
After these the mobile reboot again and go into the normal mode.
Next install Magisk manager - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
After installing it and download magisk app using the manager from the download option. And proceed with the installation it will show magisk patch found blah blah during the installation.
And you will get notification to reboot and your mobile is now rooted.
Now to enable VOlte
Install ES explorer and then go to root explorer in it. You will get prompt to allow root access since you have rooted your mobile.
And please use this video link to enable volte -

STEP:
1)UNCLOCK THE BOOTLOADER AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK
2))ROOT YOUR MOBILE USING SUPER USER OR MAGISK.IF U GOING ROOT THROUGH MAGISK INSTALL ES FILE EXPLORER AND ROOT CHECKER BEFORE ROOT.IF U ROOT THROUGH MAGISK YOU WON T LOOSE AI.BUT WIFI HAS SOME ISSUES.
3)AFTER ROOTING ENABLE PERMISSION IN ROOT EXPLORER.
4)GO TO DEVICE,SELECT SYSTEM,IN SYSTEM SELECT VENDOR,IN VENDOR SELECT BUILD.PROP.
IN BULID.PROP YOU FIND THE LINE COMMAND ro.config.hw_volte_on=true[/SIZE][/B].
ADD THIS COMMAND LINE ro.config.hw_volte_dyn=false
BELOW ro.config.hw_volte_on=true line.
And save it and reboot your mobile. Then you can find the Volte call enable tab in the network setting.
Finally it is done !!!!

No need of jio call app for calling. Once u enabled Volte in your mobile u can call like u do in the case normal sim. No need for any app. No need to enable mobile data.

This method works on my both C55 and C432 firmware.
But my service provider says my P20 Lite doesn't support VoLTE.
I found an İphone 7 and put my SIM Card in it. After that I called my service provider and told them to have my VoLTE enabled.
Took my SIM Card out of the İphone and put back it my P20 Lite in.
Now my P20 Lite shows VoLTE near the signal bar. I'm now able to call via VoLTE.

just download the jio4g voice app from the google play store and you'll be good

A hypothesis, all of the RED Hydrogen One are dual SIM

I brought a secondhand RED (Verizon version) on second hand market Xianyu闲鱼 ( Like eBay or mercari メルカリ) , less than USD100.
Then I updated the RED Hydrogen One to android 9 via fastboot and found dual sim in settings.
But merchantmen has told me it was a single sim version, and the dual sim version is more expensive (over USD 200) because is rare.
I cut my SIM card and let it fit to the second slot (used to settle TFcard) , then it recognized as a SIM card and can get signal, just like a DSDS one.
The hypothesis is , every RED Hydrogen One has the same motherboard, no matter you are aluminum version or titanium version, no matter sim free or carrier limited.
I won’t use Chinese because I don’t wanna shock greedy merchants , they import this mobile phone in same price , but sold them differently.
I will upload the dual sim android 9 ROM later. And how to install? Just refer posts written by other people posted on XDA.
By the way, root this phone can be more easier, just get its boot.img and transfer to your phone, let your magisk manager to patch it, then swap it as a boot to your phone.
A problem : this ROM doesn’t support VoLTE of China telecom. Even though it shows VoLTE enabled. You will lost your internet connection while calling , voice will on 1xRTT instead of LTE.
It also has few languages in settings, for example, traditional Chinese only for Taiwan, no Hong Kong .
I Have a Globle Build
I have a global build on my Red. Its work with Dual Sim. LTE works perfectly with only issue it doesn't save any Call logs. Except this the phone works on all front.

Thank you so much. data reset is a common situation.
Does your fingerprint scanner work after this firmware? I have not tested it yet, but I have a second phone with two working sims and it has problems with the fingerprint scanner. judging by the locked bootloader, I have a rare international version.

Greetings. Finally, the version for verizon has arrived. i will try to flash 9 android. The question arose, is it useful for a modified boot for rutting?
Can I flash the image right away? and I see two executables, could you please indicate which one you were flashing?
flash_a2h_windows.bat
flash_a2h_keep_userdata_windows.bat
I have a suspicion that one is doing a complete cleaning, and the second is flashing the image without cleaning.
thank
Flashed today the Android 9 Firmware on this thread on Verizon Hydrogen One and it's working perfect.
Finally Android 9 and finally debranded, plus the dual sim support (which i have not tested).
The steps i've followed are:
-Enable debugging options and then, OEM Unlock.
-Reboot to Fastboot (with power and vol -) and unlock bootloader with "fastboot flashing unlock" , confirm with power and vol buttons on the phone, then let it reboot and unlock again "fastboot flashing unlock_critical".
-Flash the firmware with "flash_a2h_windows.bat" it will take about 10-15m depending your pc. Also notice that i have installed adb and fastboot system-wide.
-In my case, once it finished flashing, the phone turned off, so i turned on and let it boot.
-Because i dont need magisk or root, in fastboot mode i relocked the bootloader with "fastboot flashing lock" and once rebooted "fastboot flashing lock_critical", both times confirming with power and vol buttons on the phone to relock bootloader.
Tested 4V functions, speakers, calls, sms, 4G, nfc, bt transfer and audio and pretty much all the sensors and everything seems to work fine.
PS: My backup from Google Drive didn't work for me because somehow this firmware changes some kind of hardware id and it's recognized by Google Services as a different phone.

Thank you all who contributed, shared in the thread.
AT&T is now dual sim! So far no problems noted, but will report if any.
Ok, I think I lost root - I know I had it for sure in Android 8.1, but after upgrading to Android 9 I don't have it.
Any ideas how to get root again please?

Question Is it possible to unlock the bootloader of the Oppo Find X3?

Wonder if anyone knows how to unlock the bootloader and root the Oppo Find X3 (not Pro)? This is the device that sits just below the Pro-Model - essentially same hardware with a slightly less capable CPU (Snapdragon 870 instead of 888). The device runs a version of ColorOs intended for the Chinese market only (at this stage). Easy to enable developer options, allow OEM unlocking and enable USB debugging. But so far I have not found a way to access fastboot mode and proceed to unlock the bootloader. Any ideas?
Waited 4 yrs to upgrade from a OnePlus5 and these Chinese system apps are such a downer. Glad to see you two on to the right questions.

I'm facing the same issue. Have activated USB debugging on my X3 Pro, but when I shut down and restart whilst also holding volume up button, it doesn't go in to fast boot. Is there a way of activating fast boot by plugging phone into computer?

The steps to enable developer mode? Go to About Phone, there you will see a screen with lots of info about the phone, including the OS. Tap on *Baseband & kernel", then you see three infos. There you click multiple times on "Build number", which will unlock developer mode. This you then find under "Additional settings" in the main settings. Then you can enable "OEM unlock" (which doesn't help unless you can access the bootloader and actually unlock it...) and "USB debugging". I'll survive without root for now, hoping some clever XDA devs will figure this device out eventually. It's an amazing phone, and I hope they will release a true international version of the firmware at some point, so I won't see the Chinese core-apps anymore...
Global phones have purposely has the fastboot command blocked, so even if there was a twrp there is no way to flash it, no matter what you do, holding volume down on boot, commands or any other method won't work. Chinese models I believe can have it done but need to download an app, then apply to have permission to unlock.

My phone IS a Chinese model; the regular FX3 (non-pro). With Oppo (cr)App Store and all sorts of China-centric rubbish. What is the name of the app that might let me access the bootloader?

Sounds like this is for devs only, and not yet for the FX3. So for now, I'll keep my hands off it - don't think I'm at the required skill level yet. But still - a good tip, and it gives me some hope that root access might be possible in the near future.
I have what I'm pretty sure is the global variant and I am able to enter fastbootd
Oh wow. Great! May I ask you to please share how you manged to pull that off? And once you accessed fastboot, did you e.g. manage to root the device? Please, also here, a "how" would be preferred over a "yes"?
Or is there a way to root the phone with apps like KingoRoot etc?
I'm not pro in this area, but i find this:

How To Guide Bootloader Unlock devices bought directly from USA OnePlus Store

I saw the other thread on unlocking the T-Mobile variant, so I thought I'd document my experience unlocking the version bought directly from the OnePlus store.
Warnings​This guide applies exclusively to OnePlus Nord N200 5G phones bought from the USA OnePlus online store.
It may work for other carrier-unlocked Nord N200 5G phones. However, I haven't tested them.
As always, this voids your warranty.
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about this process before following it. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will not help you.

In addition, this adds an unremovable warning screen from the bootup process. After unlocking your device, the device will show a warning screen on every bootup for 5 seconds. It will read as follows:
The boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed. Any data stored on the device may be available to attackers. Do not store any sensitive data on the device.
Visit this link on another device:
g.co/ABH
PRESS POWER KEY TO PAUSE BOOT
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As a last note, if successful, this will wipe your device. Backup all data you care about.
Prerequisites​1. A OnePlus Nord N200 5G bought from the USA OnePlus store, running OxygenOS 11.
2. A computer with the `fastboot` android platform tool set up and working.
You can download a package containing fastboot from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.
3. A usb-C cable to plug the phone into the computer.
Steps​1. Enable developer settings.
Go to Settings -> About phone. Tap "Build number" 5 times until it brings up a prompt to enter your device password. Enter it.
On success, it will bring up a note saying "You are now a developer!"
2. Enable OEM Unlocking
Go to Settings -> System -> Developer Options. Tap "OEM Unlocking" and follow prompts.
3. Reboot into fastboot
Long-press the power button, then select "Restart". As the phone is restarting, hold down the volume down and volume up buttons.
The phone should now be showing a text interface. You can select different options with the volume buttons, and use the power button to select.
3. Unlock using fastboot
Connect the phone to the computer.
In a command prompt on the computer, use the following fastboot command:
Bash:
fastboot devices
Verify that your device is connected, and the serial code matches the "SERIAL NUMBER" shown on the screen of the phone. For instance, my device shows as:
Code:
$ fastboot devices
SERIAL_NUMBER_REDACTED fastboot
And on my phone screen, it shows "SERIAL NUMBER - SERIAL_NUMBER_REDACTED".
Once you've verified this, use the following command to unlock the device:
Reminder: THIS COMMAND WIPES YOUR DATA. All data on the phone will be erased by this.
Bash:
fastboot oem unlock
If successful, the computer will output this:
Code:
$ fastboot oem unlock
OKAY [ 0.042s]
Finished. Total time: 0.042s
On the phone, you will see a prompt for unlocking the device. Read it, and follow the instructions. Use the volume up/down buttons as up/down arrow keys, and the power button as "OK" or "Enter".
After you've confirmed you want to unlock the device, your phone will reboot several times, and erase all data. Once it's done, you'll be rebooted into the operating system.
4. Confirm the unlock worked
To confirm the unlock worked, reboot into fastboot mode again.
On the screen, the bottom row should now read "DEVICE STATE - unlocked".
Congrats! You've unlocked your device. Once someone builds a custom recovery or ROM, you'll be able to use fastboot to flash it to your device.
So does this mean you can now pull the files someone would need to start on a custom recovery and/or a custom rom or at least majisk?

Unfortunately, this doesn't let you pull any files from the device. All it does is allow you to flash a custom recovery, ROM, or boot.img once someone develops one.
With that said, I have started researching steps for porting TWRP to the device.
Edit: since this is the only place I've mentioned it, might as well give an update. I'm giving up on porting TWRP for now - I think we really will need binary blobs, or a lot more hacking on things and finding a similar device. And given that our device is the first wave of devices with the sm4350 platform.... I think our best bet is OnePlus releasing binary blobs.
I've taken notes on everything I've been trying at https://github.com/daboross/android_device_oneplus_holi_notes, if anyone's interested.
Man that stinks. I was hoping we could have at least gotten the files needed for majisk.
2 alternate ways to get into fastboot mode:
ADB:
The command
'adb reboot bootloader'
will restart the device in fastboot mode.
Advanced Reboot:
In the developer options, turn on 'Advanced Reboot'.
Hold the power button for a few seconds to bring up the power off/restart dialog.
At the top right corner will be 3 dots, tap them, select 'bootloader' from the resulting dialog.
The phone will reboot into fastboot mode.

I'm thinking it'll be a chain reaction as soon as we have *anything*.
Like, if we get magisk, we'll quickly be able to then pull the stock ROM and recovery and use those to build TWRP.
Or if someone can build TWRP, we can use that to pull boot.img and get magisk working, and pull the stock ROM and get a custom ROM built.
Or if someone can port a custom rom (though I imagine this is harder than the above two - probably impossible without binary blobs?) - we can include root in it, then use that to grab boot.img and the recovery image.
As soon as we get *any* control which gives us root access or otherwise unimpeded access, we should be able to do everything.

The hard part is "somehow get the stock rom".
As soon as we can get that, everything else will indeed be possible.

I think the thread has been deleted now, but someone did do that for the Metro variant. I believe there was also a grab for the T-Mobile variant.
Unfortunately, both of those OTA updates were partial updates, and are useless without an original ROM image. I've also been watching for an update to my OnePlus non-carrier-variant, but no updates have been pushed at all.
I think it's not a bad idea. Just unfortunately all the updates so far have been partial, and since a new version of android is a ways away, I think they will continue to be partial updates, still useless.

Ah, but the device shipped with OxygenOS 11!
There have been so few updates since the device was released a little over a month ago. No OxygenOS 10 firmware ever existed for it.
Is the N200 directly bought from oneplus dual sim?
It seems like the device has the space/pins for second sim but disables dual sim via software.
Check on youtube for "N200 teardown" and the motherboard likely has space/pins for second sim.
BTW: does the unlocked version of N200 have FM radio? Can you install app "NextRadio" and see if it works?
GSMArena lists the N200 as dual sim with FM radio.

I'm not sure if it's dual sim or not, but it doesn't look designed to be. There's only one IMEI listed in settings, and while the SIM tray is long enough for two different SIM cards, the second one is filled in with plastic and you'd have to modify it to put a SIM card there.
Here's a picture of the front and back of the SIM tray:

The motherboard may have pins for second sim card.
Maybe like the t-mobile version of oneplus 6T, we just need to replace the sim card tray and flash compatible firmware to enable dual sim function.
Even with one IMEI, both sim cards can still work simultaneously like the T-Mobile oneplus 6T. People have reported two sims work on t-mobile simultaneously or on two different carriers on t-mobile oneplus 6T with one imei.

I'm surprised the radio app doesn't work. There is a default package installed with a radio app, and the original phone (A91?) comes with an fm radio.
Can someone explain if they really switched the camera modules? I can't find any info on what the specific camera module is, plus the a54 (oppo) has a 48 mp camera versus the 13 mp in the n200. It seems like they really wouldn't switch the cameras on a phone so similiar, but who am I?

What is the default package? I can't find any on my device that looks like it'd be a radio app.
Here's a screenshot of NextRadio. To be clear, I have done no debugging to see if I could get it to work. I just installed it via the play store and opened it.

How To Guide [OPN2005G] [OOS TMO DE18CB] Unbrick tool to restore your device to OxygenOS

Disclaimer: I hope you don't break your phone, but if you do, it's not my fault. Since you are choosing to modify your phone, you accept full responsibility for whatever happens to it, including any damage that may have occurred as a result of incorrectly flashing your device.
Hey guys, similar to all of @Some_Random_Username's unbrick threads, here are the EDL packages (also known as MSM tools or unbrick tools) that can revive a bricked OnePlus Nord N200 5G.
Important: This is only for the T-Mobile variant of the N200. This will not work on the factory unlocked variant and may or may not work for the Metro variant.
Downloads:
11.0.1.5.DE18CB
Original archive
Google Drive
7z format (thanks @edale1)
AnddoidFileHost
MEGA
zip format (thanks @nv270)
Rethink Files
Also available at https://onepluscommunityserver.com/
Instructions:
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
On the login prompt select "Others" in the dropdown menu and click on Next.
Wait a few seconds until main window shows up.
Press Start button so that it waits for your device to be connected
Power off your device
Press and hold the volume up and down buttons to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Plug your device to your computer.
Should you not manage to do that and have adb access, you can use adb reboot edl instead
Wait ~300 seconds.
Enjoy your brand new device.
FAQ:
Does this work on Mac or on Linux?
Unfortunately no, tool is Windows only. You should need at least Windows 7.
Why is my antivirus freaking out when unzipping the archive or running the tool?
In an effort to protect reverse engineering from being done (and by extension prevent conversion process like it was done on 6T and 7Pro), OnePlus now use VM Protect V3 in their MSM tools. As this tries to detect debug environment, this is seen as malicious behaviour by some antivirus.
How can I check my device project ID?
Use getprop ro.boot.project_name. This however involve having ADB access or access to OxygenOS to use Termux or whatever terminal emulator you prefer.
My device isn't detected
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsof...updateid=8ee52ba0-bdef-4009-88cf-335a678dd67a ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
If you can't get into EDL mode by hardware keys, you may use adb reboot edl (will require your phone to still have ADB access)
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked above.
MSM tool is stuck on "Sahara communication failed"
Unplug your phone, get in fastboot mode, turn off phone, wait 15 secondes and get back in Qualcomm EDL mode. You can also try using a USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 one.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.
How can I fix "SMT config not found" error?

@Nache and others who have the unlocked version from the oneplus store and have the bootloader locked and phone bricked .. This version will not work with your phone as i just tried it myself today .. hopefully someone gets a hold of the msmdowmload from the tech support ..
patiently waiting for the unlock
So just to confirm: For those of us with Tmobile version, this will install default rom from OnePlus and get rid of all the bloatware from Tmobile and technically make our devices be like they are originally purchased from OP?
And of course, in order to use this our bootloader needs to be unlocked?
Will this lock bootloader again?
And do we unlock it with same code we got from OP first time?
Thanks!

My understanding is the T-Mobile MSM Tools will restore a T-Mobile variant phone to the state it was in coming from T-Mobile; meaning if you debloated the phone, the bloat will be back.
You can use the MSM Tools even with a locked bootloader.
If your bootloader is unlocked, I believe this will lock it. (it may SIM lock your phone again as well, unsure...)
I think the same unlock token will work, but I'm hesitant to say 'yes' without someone testing it first.

1. Nope, this will revert your device back to the T-Mobile stock ROM, including all the bloatware. Thsi does not convert your device into an unlocked variant.
2. This works whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked. If your bootloader is unlocked, using this tool will lock it again, and you will need to unlock it by flashing unlock_code.bin again.

Thank you!
I read an article that was bit unclear and pointed to this so I wanted to confirm.
Also, from everything else I gathered, there is still no way to flash Tmob variant with non Tmob rom?
I was interested to try LineageOS but that's not available also seems like.
Phone's too new still. I think we need the MSM Tools for all the variants available before someone can figure out how to flash one variant into another, and we currently only have the T-Mobile variant's MSM Tools.

incoming August 176 patch
I have update installed.
You can use restore image on Magisk uninstall before you start. If you encounter problem, you can use original boot image and run "mock patch"
Install update and switch to Magisk when you're prompted to restart, and let Magisk to install in unused partition, and restart after finished
If you have problem with CTS after update, install riru from Magisk and download safetynet fix, and install in Magisk as well (you have to reboot twice)
I've successful restored my N200 phone several times using the MSM, but this most recent time it appears the process was interrupted and I get the following error when turning on the phone. I can not boot the phone back into EDL mode to run MSM tool again. Every 10 or so boots the phone will boot into fastboot instead of throwing the error. I tried flashing a backed up boot.img and super.img, but no luck getting past the error. Any way to recover?

I successfully flashed a metro-pcs device using the tool in this thread. I bricked my device using the dsu loader in developer options. "Oem unlocking" is greyed out. Can anyone point me to a good bootloader unlocking tutorial for this devicel? Is it possible to use this tool with a rom that has already been rooted? Thanks,
Noob here. One thing to note: device was not recognized in the beginning. I held vol up/down at the same time and then plugged in device. Although the screen was black, the device was shown as "connected" and had no issues flashing. After 300 secs, voila!

You can try this tutorial. It worked for me on Tmobile, no idea about MetroPCS. Key line is
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim
MSMDownloadTool wipes the entire device and relocks the bootloader if it was unlocked, it doesn't care if you're rooted.

How To Guide Tutorial: How to Update, Unlock bootloader and Root your CN with Global Rom phone

I received my phone today from Aliexpress and was able to update, unlock bootloader and root my phone so I want to share the steps. Follow them at your own risk, I take no responsibility for any issues or bricking. You should always backup your phone before doing any of these steps.
This tutorial is for CN phones that already have the Global Rom installed (AKA Aliexpress special phones). I do NOT know how to install the Global Rom on a CN stock phone, please do not ask and do NOT use this tutorial if your phone does not already have the global rom installed. You will likely get the message about the OS not being supported on this HW and the phone will be unusable until you flash back the CN rom. I do not what the sellers on Aliexpress are doing to bypass this message. You have been warned and I will not provide any support!
Prerequisites:
1. A CN phone with Global Rom already installed (Seriously, if you dont have this stop reading)
2. Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant
https://support.lenovo.com/bh/en/downloads/ds101291-rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa
3. Latest Global Rom firmware file
You can use Rescue program to get or you can download it externally from here
https://www.getdroidtips.com/lenovo-legion-2-pro-firmware-flash-file/
4. ADB
Updating your Phone:
The phone I received from Aliexpress came with Global Rom 12.5.062 ST which is a bit outdated. I tried the OTA app on the phone but it said no update was available. I used the tool Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant to update it to 12.5.137 ST which is the latest version of the Global Rom as of this post. I did not have to unlock my bootloader first to update. Special Thanks to hhda2004 for the update steps.
1- Download Rescue and Smart Assistant for windows.
2- Enable developer option through my phone settings by tapping on the build number (Legion OS) 7 times
3- Go to General Settings and enter Developer options , enable USB debugging
4- Install run the Rescue and Smart assistant software and connect the phone.
5- Choose the Rescue option to download latest software update (it will ask for IMEI first but If it cant find it you can search for it manually)
6- Ensure your phone model number matches the OS being downloaded , in my case it is L70081, for HW Code choose none and for country I chose UK
7- follow instructions on the windows Rescue app software and it will guide you through.

8-Once you have followed the onscreen steps, your phone should reboot and you should be on the latest version of the global rom.
Unlocking bootloader:
These steps are for a CN phone with Global Rom already Installed. Please note I take no responsibility for issues or bricking regardless if you have the Global Rom installed or not. Continue at your own risks. The following steps assume you already have ADB. If not the link below has more links and information. You may lose features like Gpay and others if you unlock the bootloader
I used this tutorial to Unlock the bootloader. It has more in detail than I will provide below
https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-lenovo-legion-2-pro-l70081/
1. Enable Developer Settings and toggle "OEM unlock" and "USB Debugging" to ON
2. Once you have ADB and Lenovo USB drivers, you will need to get your IMEI and Serial to be able to use the ZUI website to unlock your phone.
3. Connect your phone to the PC and Change USB configuration to File Transfer (Note: I found this setting to be very unstable, I had to unplug and replug the phone for the setting to take affect and sometime it was easier for the PC to recognize the phone if I used the side USB-C port instead of the bottom port)
4. Open ADB
5. Type in ADB
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Once in the bootloader, write down the serial number. You can hit the power bottom to reboot normally at this point, we just need the serial
7. Goto this website to unlock your phone and obtain the needed .img file to move forward with unlocking
https://www.zui.com/iunlock
8. Its in Chinese but in the first field enter your IMEI number from My Phone Settings. in the second field, enter the serial number you obtained from the bootloader, third is your email and the fourth field box is a captcha code, just copy the number to right of it. For me, it took about 15 mins to get the email but Ive seen people mention it could take days to get the email. Make sure to check your spam folder if you are not seeing the email
DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP
9. Once you get the email, it will have a link to download a .img, you will need that to unlock your bootloader. Download it and place it your ADB folder. Note: it was a 5kb file for me.
10. Open ADB again and do the following commands
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Followed by
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If a device ID does not appear, unplug your phone and replug it. As I mentioned earlier, my phone was very finicky with being detected as a USB device.
Next we are going the flash the .img from the email provided by ZUI in step 9
fastboot flash unlock (filename).img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Next we will send the unlock command. Do NOT do this if you did not flash the .IMG provided by the ZUI website first
fastboot oem unlock-go
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your phone automatically reboot and you should see a warning about the bootloader being unlocked before you see the android logo
If it did not auto reboot you can hit it with
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
11. That's it, your phone's bootloader should be unlocked now.
Rooting your phone with Magisk:
This is the tutorial I used to root your phone. You will need to unlock the bootloader first. Gpay may stop working.
https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-lenovo-legion-2-pro-l70081/
1. Download the latest Magisk apk
2. Download the matching firmware for phone, you can use the Lenovo Rescue and Assistance or download from this link.
https://www.getdroidtips.com/lenovo-legion-2-pro-firmware-flash-file/
3. Extract the boot.img from the firmware zip file
4. Place both the Magisk apk and boot.img on the internal storage of your phone
5. Use a file explorer app to install the magisk apk.
6. Open Magisk and tap install
7. Choose the option to select and patch a file
8. Select the boot.img from internal storage
9. Magisk will create a patched img, make note of file path of the patched img and pull the patched img out of the phone and place it in ADB folder in the PC
10. Back on the PC open ADB and type
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
next find the current slot (a or b)
fastboot getvar current-slot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If the response for the current slot is "a" chose the following command, if "b", use the second command instead.
if slot "a"
fastboot flash boot_a (magisk patched name).img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if slot "b"
fastboot flash boot_b (magisk patched name).img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
next reboot the device
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
11. Once rebooted, you can confirm the root by going back into magisk or using an app like rootchecker
How to pass SafetyNet:
This assumes you are already rooted. If not read above. If you open Magisk and fail to pass safetynet you can fix this by using a Magisk Modules.
1. Download SafetyNet fix by kdrag0n and place the zip on phone
https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases
2. Open Magisk and goto Modules. Search for Riru and install the module. Reboot
3. Go back to Magisk and goto Modules. Select install from storage on the top right
4. Install the SafetyNet fix by kdrag0n. Reboot
5. Your SafetyNet Check will pass
6. Open Magisk go to setting and turn on MagiskHide. Open MagiskHide options and check all the option for Gpay(Note: not sure if this step is necessary since kdrag0n said he added all things that MagiskHide was doing to his fix but i did it anyways and had no issue)
7. You should be able to use Gpay and add cards with your rooted phone
@superrama
Thanks for your tutorial.
I have exactly the Lenovo Legion duel 2 12gb ram and 128gb CN with the Global ROM installed (12.5.062 ST). I also bought it on Aliexpress. My phone is identical to yours.
I did the above steps (Rescue and Smart Assistant, ROM UK, etc). But mine doesn't update and I get a "FAIL" error message.
Would you help me? Thank you immensely.
does it give you any other messages? Did you enable USB debugging in developer setting? One thing i did not listed in the step was also enable oem unlock in developer setting as well. If you tried that already, maybe check that you have the lenovo usb drivers or try a different usb cable.
I actually used the rescue service again today without issue so it wasnt a fluke. I was trying to find a way to get safetynet and Googlepay to work so I wiped my phone again. I did find how to get safetynet to pass Gpay to work rooted but it was using magisk modules and unrelated to the build. I am going to update my original post with those steps how to get Gpay to work as well. good luck.
From the program I updated to version .90 after updating, I looked for updates and found version 12.5.188 that came by ota. Thanks a lot for the help.

How did you do it? I pressed System Update in the phone and it says there is no update available. I followed the instructions and got the .137 version but the phone doesn't find the .188 version.
.137 is the latest English, .188 is the latest other(aka not china) and I don't know the latest china version. so in this context .188 is not an update to .137.

Hice los pasos anteriores (Rescue and Smart Assistant, ROM UK, etc.). Pero el mío no se actualiza y aparece un mensaje de error "FAIL".
¿Me ayudarías? Muchísimas gracias.

do you already have a solution? I have the same problem and I don't know what to do
@superrama
I need help. I've done all the steps, but it's out of date and I'm getting a "FAIL" error message. The version of the RSA program is more current. I don't know if that's why.
And when the program is flashing, the screen will remain off?
I am waiting for an answer, thank you
@superrama
do you still have the ROM that you used?
Could you pass it to me to try with that ROM
Excellent tutorial, got my phone rooted in less than 30 minutes. I have a question though how do I relock the bootloader? in case I need to bring the phone back to factory, cheers.
Buenos días.
HAce unos días tengo mi legion 2 pro. Pero me ha dado un error de error de sistema. Alguien me indica que puedo hacer?
I'm getting stuck in Qualcomm crashdump mode. Every flash puts me here.
Is there an unbrick tool for this phone ? After the rescue software finished flashing my phone got stuck on Qualcomm 9008 mode with black screen
Everything went smooth during the flash process and I got no errors, it must be s firmware compatibility issue, I was on 12.5.680 with bootloader unlocked, but the firmware that I was trying to download from Rescue smart assistant was 12.5.137

Soooooo anyone can assist please?
after entering command
adb reboot bootloader
i can not see my phone in device manager , on screen its fastboot mode,
but in adb it works fine
what is issue?
original global version allow bootloader unlock?
I've got a silly question. Typically unlocking my bootloader and rooting wipes my phone.
Is this the case with this method? There no mention if the phone gets factory reset during the process.
Thanks for the help.
I cant proceed in the zui unlock website coz my serial number has only 7 digits.. how to solve this?
