Hey guys,
On TeamMT's firmware finder is EMUI for VTR-L09 and VTR-L29 International (C432) available.
Post here if you tried to update and if it's works or not.
Edit: Updated B381 with a modified version of my guide. I'll release it today for testing purposes. I didn't do a factory reset, all my files are still there. But I noticed that the system works slowly.
Did you update through e-recovery in ff?
If you do factory reset, it will probably fix the slow performance.
Does the device show as official in play store/about? Is it beta or official release? Did you upgrade from B384?

I updated with my own script I released here (tutorial 4)
It's not slow anymore, I did a reboot and now everything works fine.
I upgraded from B381.
There's no information by Huawei if it's beta or stable.
And what do you mean with official in play store? Couldn't find anything like that.
He talks about 'certified device' under settings in google play.

There's nothing about that, I googled some screenshots and the part with "Device certification" is completely missing. Play Services updated directly after I launched Pie for the first time.
See the attached screenshot.

Works just fine, tnx.
I doubt that beta fw would be up to c432. Besides a day ago Oreo downgrade popped up there was no fw update this month.

It should come after some time. Try reset phone and wait. If it says uncertified it's bad. If it says certified, it's safe for us to upgrade before official release.

I'm on Pie now for 10 hours and installed some apps via Play Store. Still nothing to see there.
EDIT: I removed the data and cache from play store app. Now it's saying "Not certified". So I checked some guides and on the official Google page to enable custom roms for using Googles services there's the command "adb root".
My output is "adbd cannot run as root in production builds", so maybe it's still in beta. I don't know what this means for me but I hope there will be any problems with Google in the future for me.
EDIT2: I followed this tutorial and added my device to the device list. Play Store still shows uncertified but I'm hoping, that this won't affect me. At the moment I can use everything as before.

Unfortunately, this happens when the firmware still is not "approved for installation". That the device is not certified can make it hard to install bank apps, Netflix, Spotify and more. Also I think you will not receive any more ota. I would go back to b384 and wait to get official update.

I always installed firmwares which aren't approve for installation (checked with FF). Never had any issues with banking, netflix, spotify and other apps.
But I never checked this, because I didn't know this.
Is this the same as SafetyNet?

How downgrade my VTR-L09C432 from android 9 to android 8 or how relock bootloader on android 9?

If you're willing to test it, you can try my script. Please use tutorial #3 and this TWRP.
The reason for tutorial #3 is this guide I've found. The linked script works the same as my script does.
Just follow tutorial#3 but first completely remove any device lock like pin and fingerprint.
Otherwise, there's no official method for the P10. I'll try my own when I have time, maybe today's afternoon.

No issues, the animations feel a bit smoother I think.
I noticed that gboards haptic feedback failed sometimes which is kinda annoying. Mostly I type very fast and it feels like I missed a key when I'm in a flow. That's the only bug I noticed.
Face unlock is way faster btw
Did they change the camera app or is it still the same? Thanks .
Camera app is a bit different, has adittional slider to switch functions, more convenient imo.
@Jannomag do you have 'Game Suite' app on pie? I am confused if it disappeared or I've missed some update with gpu turbo patch.
On Pie, there is something like Apps assistant. You can find this in Settings > Apps.

while surfing huawei china forums I found this custom Rom (http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-2182114-1-1.html)
Did any one tried it .. and if yes what is your feedback about it ?
I haven't tried his newest ROM B008, but I have tried several of his older modded ROM for the X1. Issue I have is that I can't get google play store or google services to work. I've tried varies version of goole play store and google service framework, but never could get it to work. Split view is nice...but it isn't automatic, you have to manually select the windows; not as good as Samsung implementation, but better than nothing.

it is sweet, i m using it, only 2 points to note before flashing it:
1) u need to be already on the official B008 rom (otherwise u will get the write to cust error)
2) the bootloader of your X1 must be already unlocked (if not u cannot flash via ADB)
for those using non china 4G sim, u may also get android.phone.com FC-ing during initial boot, no amt of wiping DATA or Cache (of phone itself or apps e.g. contacts, phone etc the usual sugg when u google the problem) will work, in this instance, simply switch to airplane mode, proceed to connect the X1 to your wifi and go abt dong all the updates via Huawei app store, i m not sure which update cured the problem, but when I switch off airplane mode after that, the FC disappears .. YMMV

there is actually a very simple workaround for google services (other than google+, which there is another solution), and it doesnt involve 'hacking' or meddling with system files, rooting is not even needed (although KangVIP rom comes pre-rooted)
because even on china roms, Huawei has actually implemented the google framework within, all we need are the correct apps, simply launch the default Huawei Store (App Centre) and search for Google Play, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter and GoogleContactsSynAdapter. After installation of Play, just launch it and install other Gapps u need from there.
Hi all,
Small point to note, somehow Google always translates the Chinese word "shua" literally as the verb "brush" but it actually means the verb "flash" in this context.
Note that translations of "shua ROM" will end up being "brush ROM" instead of "flash ROM".

Sorry, I really have no idea what I had done to result in the FCs disappearing. In fact, I wasnt expecting it to be.
My original intention was to play around with it and conduct some experimental tweaks since I was already on it before reflashing to get rid of the FCs.
One other thing that may have caused the FCs to go away is Xposed framework, you can try installing it.
The attached file below is an old version, install it then update to version 2.5.1 via the Xposed app; I also installed the App Settings module (version 1.8) for per app DPI setting. In fact, this is the tweak I wanted to try on EMUI 3.0 B008, it worked on EMUI 2.3 B010 and I was hoping for the same favorable result on EMUI 3.0. It did.
It was after the above that I re-enabled mobile/data and discovered to my surprise the FCs were gone.
YMMV.
Unfortunately I couldn't make it so I'm back to use EMUI 2.3 B010.
Thank you for suggest me some methods.
ps / I got sme results. with Australian Boost sim is worked but Japan Softbank and Singapore StarHub SIM is won't work.
@potatohead
Today I try fix again then suddenly your method is work for my phone. I carefully follow methods then work.
Thanks.

Hi Potoatohead, after I installed the Xposed apk, I couldn't install the framework. I just got a hang (4.4.2 Emui 3.0). Downloading the 2.5.1 update and trying to install that result in install failed. Any clues?

Did you use everroot option of flashfire? Which is still using su v2.78 SR1? I thought we would have needed SR4 for 7.1.
I need to make some backups and probably will flash this version on Thursday!
Made backups today (23/11) and successfully flash it! OP update with links!
Yes.

I flashed it a few minutes ago over stock 7.0 without wiping data and it seems to be the fastes and smoothest experience I ever had with this device. Can't say much more and didn't try to root, but I switched a few times between my two users und it's still fast and smooth. After switching between my users for two times with 7.0 a reboot was much needed! :fingers-crossed:
Mine is stuck at booting animation. No idea why first time this has happened to me before. Or does it just take like 20 minutes on first boot or what?
I flashed it manually through fastboot like normal.

20 minutes is too long. Have you tried to just power off then on? Sometimes, that's all it takes. It's happened to me but not for this flash.

seems way faster than 7.0 so far.... I just did a full reset on 7.0 a week ago and experience immediate lag after I installed my apps. I flashed the 7.1 dev image today and went through the same process. So far so good. I'll report back after a couple of weeks of usage.
Did anyone enrolled in the beta program get the OTA yet ?
Previously I got it the same day an announcement was made. Nothing received yet. As a matter of fact, I didn't even receive the November security update this month.. Never rooted, never modified.
Had to post. Clean flashed new preview , temp boot of twrp to flash latest SU (SR4) for root and set up as new device. Best google effort yet! No problems adjusting build prop to enable assistant and both Pixel and Nova Launchers are go as is new systemless option adaway. Couldn't help notice how responsive UI is and chrome is stable for me 4-5 tabs in using sites like fark.com and no/very few redraws after pushing the tablet with moderate demands. Looking forward to the December release, noticed USB charging was still fairly slow still, hopefully the batt life is ok too. Go Google, they might just catch up to Craig's AOSP version/kernel performance if they're not careful !

Same here. My device is enrolled but no update. I had to manually flash the November update. I did wonder if it was anything to do with flashing custom Roms. I am on full stock Google image but no update yet.
I never flashed a custom rom on my N9 nor has it ever been rooted. Still haven't received Nov update nor the Beta program update.
If you flash a factory image then you are fully stock and you should receive all updates from google.

Just manually flashed the stock preview. Much better than the stock 7.0 which is virtually unusable . This preview is solid and stable..
One of the main benefits of enrolling in the beta program was to be able to get OTA updates and not lose your data. Other devices in the program have received the OTA. Disappointing that the N9 hasn't to this date.

You can flash factory images without affecting your data partition. It is called "dirty flashing" for a reason.
My device has been through loads of updates, + the previous Preview images, by that method!

Flashfire is just a convenient app for doing it (with needing a computer) for people who are rooted.

I downloaded the image yesterday but going to delete it.
The update was actually pushed to my device today by Google... but it won't install due to an E3005 error related to the modem. I'm not sure, though, if the issue is with this update or if it's something specific to my device.

Normally you should always use the same build if available. I'm on OPM3. OPM5 is a build specifically for Japanese carrier SoftBank. Attempting to flash OPM5 over OPM3 is a bad idea.
I believe OPM2 is a merge of OPM3 and OPM5. Perhaps if you had OPM5 it isn't liking the merged radio file but for me on OPM3 I was able to upgrade to the May OPM2 Nexus 6P build without issue.
I did a non-destructive factory image flash to get to OPM2. YMMV.

So you installed the may update?,how is it so far.
side-loaded the may ota file via adb and it seems to work a-ok so far... i had installed opm5 before as well via this method so perhaps there is some under the hood issue nobody has noticed yet...
Not Yet Available
If you go to the Android News blogspot it states that the Nexus 6P update is "Not Yet Available" ...
I'd post the link, but it says new members are not allowed for 10 days or something like that, sorry!
Installed may update using flashfire.seems fine to me so far.seems little faster,but could be cause of clean install,rooted and debloated also.when Google releases new update I will probably install that too.just curious why it was pulled,a bug,or was there something we got that we weren't supposed too??
I cant say for sure what the issue was but I know after I did the update phone worked fine but then I restarted the phone and it told me my Android System was corrupted and that I had to factory reset.

So far still running good for me,no message when I reboot either.
I just realized that the power save mode is not functioning on my 6P and was before may OTA ( cannot be toggled and does not turn on below 15%) not a game-changer but could be why it was pulled or it could just be a hiccup on an aging device

My phone says it has the OTA, but as I did some system modifications, I need the factory image, which yet has to appear.
Have any of you installed from the first link? If so, how did that go? I wan to do the OTA, but I am a bit worried it will be corrupt or that it isn't the correct file.
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Tencent edition of the ROG Phone 2, and was a bit annoyed to see that automatic system updates no longer worked after converting it to a WW ROM. I did some digging and found out that ASUS uses the IMEI of the device to track what updates the device is entitled to, including the region. So a CN IMEI would only be entitled to CN firmware updates.
That's what led me to write this app that interacts directly with the ASUS servers to look for updates, but using a spoofed IMEI that makes the server think it's WW. It was a bit of work to figure out how it all works, but I have managed it, and it seems to work as it should - I successfully upgraded from .44 to .64 just a short while ago using the app.

v1.0:
- Initial release
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KVh8OmgMxMg-jQfpF2LmIW4cqBDKXtyz/view?usp=sharing
Instructions
The app is very basic, but it does what it should. It will check for updates every hour, and send you a notification if it has found an update - or you can force a check by opening the app and pressing the button.
Once the update is downloaded (the updater will notify you when it's done), you will need to restart the device, and upon booting again you will be notified by the system that a system update has been found and be asked if you want to apply it or not.
That's really it, the system will handle the updating from there.
Note 1:
You need to be on completely stock firmware for the update to apply properly. The bootloader can be unlocked, but you can't be rooted or such.
Note 2:
For the updater to work correctly you'll have to allow it to auto-start by going to System settings -> Battery -> PowerMaster -> Auto-start manager and make sure ASUS updater is ticked. Not doing this means you will have to run the app once each boot for notification to work correctly.
Note 3:
If the update fails (after rebooting and starting the update), I will need a log to be able to figure out what's wrong. The relevant tag is UpdateLauncher.

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Tencent edition of the ROG Phone 2, and was a bit annoyed to see that automatic system updates no longer worked after converting it to a WW ROM. I did some digging and found out that ASUS uses the IMEI of the device to track what updates the device is entitled to, including the region. So a CN IMEI would only be entitled to CN firmware updates.
That's what led me to write this app that interacts directly with the ASUS servers to look for updates, but using a spoofed IMEI that makes the server think it's WW. It was a bit of work to figure out how it all works, but I have managed it, and it seems to work as it should - I successfully upgraded from .44 to .64 just a short while ago using the app.

Instructions
The app is very basic, but it does what it should. It will check for updates every hour, and send you a notification if it has found an update - or you can force a check by opening the app and pressing the button.
Once the update is downloaded (the updater will notify you when it's done), you will need to restart the device, and upon booting again you will be notified by the system that a system update has been found and be asked if you want to apply it or not.
That's really it, the system will handle the updating from there.
Note 1:
You need to be on completely stock firmware for the update to apply properly. The bootloader can be unlocked, but you can't be rooted or such.
Note 2:
For the updater to work correctly you'll have to allow it to auto-start by going to System settings -> Battery -> PowerMaster -> Auto-start manager and make sure ASUS updater is ticked. Not doing this means you will have to run the app once each boot for notification to work correctly.
Do let me know if it's working for you, or if you can think of any improvements I can make.

Hats off for you Senior.
I'm on WW_ZS660KL-16.0622.1906.19-0, was never able to update this phone that I imported from China to EU, and your tool doesn't find new updates available to install either. Could it be that I'm on ww firmware but cn fingerprint? (seller's doing, not mine). I'm 100% on stock everything (meaning, I haven't tinkered with the software one bit). Would appreciate some clarification, thank you.

As it turns out, the CN fingerprint does affect it; I didn't think it would, but one of the props that the app uses to send to the server actually changes based on the fingerprint.
I've fixed it, so please try this, and let me know if it works:

For me it's the same, unfortunately. Not sure what I could be doing wrong.

Sorry, I had completely missed another reference to the CN fingerprint. Try this latest one (tested and working for me with fingerprint changed to CN):

It found and downloaded this time, but the update process itself fails, I tried twice. May be because my version is too old? It's the same if I download the update file manually and put it on root, phone detects it after reboot but unable to flash the update.
Just change the fingerprint to WW, having a WW rom with CN fingerprint will cause more issues.

A log would say what's wrong, most likely one of the partitions isn't completely stock - they probably botched something when they flashed the WW ROM on it. Feel free to send me a log and I can have a look.

I can't 'just change it' without rooting the phone, unless there's a way in unaware of. I was planning to do that once android q releases. Otherwise, it's just too much hassle with currently available untested methods.
How do I do that @HomerSp

Sure you can, it's easy just follow this guide, no need to root or to wipe and it takes 5 minutes

I would indeed recommend changing the fingerprint to WW as having a CN fingerprint causes a whole bunch of issues, although that most likely won't fix your upgrade issue. The EDL method is really easy, and can be done in a couple of minutes - and does not require rooting.
As for the log, have you used adb and such? I just need a logcat. There are plenty of guides on how to do that, so I won't go into that here.
You were right it was fairly easy, although the original tutorial should have a warning that entering in edl mode causes the screen to go black and the phone completely unresponsive! Other than that it went smooth. You did an amazing job.
Edit: well, actually, it still fails I'll keep at it

If you get this again I would need a logcat to be able to help you. The update dialog you see on reboot isn't from my app, but it's a system app that I have no control over - so there's no way of telling what's causing it to fail, except for a log.

How to open logcat
Thanks so much for this app, I was thinking I would just need to apply the updates manually as they came out. It doesn't seem to be downloading the update when I tap the button though, my data usage stays in the KB/s range or lower. Anything I might be doing wrong?
Hello guys, my device has a locked bootloader so my flashing options are limited. I wanted to upgrade to Android 9 and I think I may have flashed a beta wrong firmware (dload method) meant for the WiFi only version. Although my device boots normally and looks like its upgraded to Android Pie, the play store does not have a lot of apps I want to use especially Netflix does not work.
I've been trying to flash the stock firmware using the force dload update method for the past two days but nothing works, it just fails. I've downloaded and tried like 10 different firmwares but nothing is recognised.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have no idea but.. did you ever try "HiSuite"? Well for my P30 Pro phone I downgraded using it. That was from Beta 10 to 9. When Beta 10 had just came out.

Yeah, Hisuite didn't work. Looking at the build number, It seems to be the M5 Pro firmware but the very first version of Android 9. It seems some people had the issue of Google Play not being certified which was resolved with subsequent updates. None of the updates I tried has applied without an unlocked bootloader.
However, the solution I came with was to transfer my apps from my phone to it using phone clone app, so at least I have all the apps and Netflix works. Play store is still showing as uncertified.
