Is this safe to install recovery rom from third party website - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there , i am a newbie here . I am a redmi note 7s user . Two days ago we had a miui update (11.2.0) ,due some problem i have can't made the update.
Now my updater apps showing no update available and i came to know that the update was a random basis and it will appear again . But i want to make the update right now .
So I want to be sure that there will no problem from downloading the recovery rom from third party website. (Like miui can't varify the device / can't reach website )

@asiftanzeem
IMHO it's always risky to download from 3rd-party sites.

When your phone have another codename, then look for the right one on this site. It's trustworthy

maybe you can change the region ,, or you can download ROM directly from the official website and you update the OTA manually.

[Q] Any ROMs for U8500 ?

hello my firends! Im a new android user, bought first android phone just week ago. I have Huawei U8500 and i think it's very new model and there are very few people who have it. There's no official 2.2 or 2.3 version so im looking for ROM. I think there is no ROMs for this model yet ? But can i use ROMs which was created for other phones ? im really really hoping that someone will make 2.2 or 2.3 for this model. Thanks for answers.
i was searching for few days... i understand russian a little bit so i found 2.2 version made by russian guy, i didn't tried it yet becouse i don't how to instal that so i dont know if it's with russian language or not, but fact is that there is 2.2 version for U8500 ! Few russians tried that and it's working fine for them !
it's link for the 2.2 narod.ru/disk/4575221001/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B02.2_2901.rar.html
Im also trying when i have spare time to locate a u8500 rom . im a extremly novice user tho so prolly wont find much .
Tried to get that russian rom but seems the link is dead or just blocked .
Is anyone working on a eng realease for this phone ?

To install it:
1. Unrar it to your computer, and find a folder named "dload" with the biggest size.
2. Copy that "dload" folder to root of your SD card
3. turn off phone
4. Hold volume up key + end call (red) key and the press power key. Wait for it to load, it will say something like "Updating system" Wait for it to finish, if it says fail, just try again
5. After it says "Update complete" or "Update successful" just restart your phone and you'll have the new beta firmware.
6. Reboot can take about 5 minutes. Be patient.
Do it always while charging.
Highly recommend to back up the original firmware before installing new ROM's
On your own risk. You can brick your phone and you void your phones warranty.

Hi, to load phone in recovery mode and to fulfill wipe date and a cache. I apologize for the bad English
How did you guys download this?
The only way i can see the link to proceed to download is via google translate. And when i click it i get a 404.
/Peter
You cant use google translate when clicking! Under the android guy pic, click where it says сюда, you then come to another site, just now click on a link on the page, that will take you to another page (the sponsor page), then you will se that it will start ticking the time in the top of the window, then after that you can click again and actually start the download....

Just wanted to say that this rom works awesome on my u8300.
It requires some tweaking. Change of lcd density etc. And the screen calibration isn't perfekt. But it's much faster than the stock rom so i'll stick with it.
Definetly worth a shot.
But according to a user on another forum there might be problems when you downgrade from a 8500 rom to the stock 8300. I haven't tested, so i can't really comment on that...

I was just reading that you won't be able to receive any updates with international stock rom installed.
Is that really true? I can't find any option in settings to search or install any updates.
I am kind of happy with the international stock rom. No Chinese apps installed, no bloatware (so far found) and google play store is working.
Thanks!

What do you mean under international stock rom? Could you be more specific?
There are so called "webshop" roms, which are - as you can see in the name - modified by the online stores. Those roms are based on Indian version of eui , installed lots of bloatwares, multilanguages are contained. These are not official roms, not gonna be updated.
You should consider installing offical chinese/indian rom, which is gonna be updated for sure.

A user can always update the shop rom with the latest official rom via recovery. The easiest way to do it.

I am not really sure if I am running a Shop ROM. Just bought the phone from Gearbest.
I just thought that the Indian Version is the international version with multilanguage. I have LeEco Store installed and 3-4 other apps. But it really seams to be a Shop ROM because of the missing update option.

Can you explain what to do?
Just download the latest Indian version than rename it to update.zip and put it in the root folder and after that Power + Vol + and thats it?
I just dont want to lose German language on the phone. It is for my mother so usability is the most important, you know.
Thank you guys in advance!

Guess you are right. But you won't get OTA updates, if you use webshop rom. I didn't get neither.

Very simple. Yes.
I have Deutsch in my latest official Chinese 20s.
So does it mean that I can flash/update eather Indian or Chinese ROM just over the shop ROM without losing any data and language?
Sounds too easy for me
Yes, its easy like that i upgraded from shop rom to 21S Chinese - and I was wondering that german is better supported in 21S Chinese then in the germanized shoprom version ... only bad thing was - i lost the google play store.

And to get back Google Play Store you have to download it in LeEco store or just install the Indian version instead of the Chinese, right?

I installed the cookie version 92 2 works fine. After wipe wipe data, flash with twrp and is done. Try. The zip file is called
X820_TWRP_ADVANCED_V3.1.1_CUOCO92. ZIP
yes but i heard leeco engineering work on android 7
Heyyo, yeah that international EUI ROM is modified and won't get OTA hence the check for updates is missing.
For my x829 I couldn't upgrade to Indian or Chinese EUI directly via the recovery and update.zip. It would give an error message about file errors. Only way for me to flash other ROMs was to use TWRP via temp boot via fastboot and then flash other ROMs.
I ended up not liking even newer EUI versions so now I use custom ROMs as they have a better setup with the more like Stock Android experience with the quick settings in the notification drawer.
It's still hard to tell if LeEco will be able to follow through with Nougat for their phones due to all the financial issues they have... But meh, tbh I'm not worried given how darn good community ROMs are and how they don't have the odd quirks that EUI have.
Albeit, it would be nice if they at least put out kernel sources for Nougat (or I guess Android O which will be out sooner than later) which could improve community ROMs a bit

It was said by January. Still they didn't released an update :crying:
Last update i got was on 14th October 2016. When ever i send a mail asking about the next update they respond like we will inform in a week or two. But they never did. By the end of march they said that they are working on android 7 but it will take more time. They said expected release will be july last week. I mailed again now. No responses from them.
I like the EUI very much. I don't want to install some custom rom. But same time, this thing have lot of bugs and many futures need modification.

Is there any way to downgrade EMUI 9 to EMUI 8?

before update it was told that through HISuite downgrade is possible from EMUI 9 to EMUI 8,but now there is no such options is found in HISuite, if anyone have a solution please share.
More than updated UI we need Google services

Hello everyone one. Somebody Help me pls
2 days ago I updated my honor 8x(jsn-l22) to android 9 and it was awful. I didn't like so I decided to downgrade to 8.1. I used hisuite to downgrade but the speed of downloading was really bad so I couldn't do it. So I gave it to someone to do it. He flashed the official (8.1.0 oreo) with some tool and when the flashing operation was in 99% it faced with an error user data part. And now my phone is running Android 8.1 but not correctly. The build number is changed to this
(chipset-miamic20 8.2.0.001(00X4)) and system UI is totally different and I don't know what to do now.
We tried to flash other versions but actually nothing is able to be flashed. It comes with error even at the first step of flashing. Every ROM we tried flashing all were unsuccessful and came with error.
Please if there is any way to fix this problem, let me know
The phone is stocked in this ROM.
Here is a screen shot of about device. I'm really disappointed HELP PLEASE.

I read a post about Hisuite in a Facebook group and successfully downgraded to Oreo. PIE was slow glitchy and battery was bad on it. Although i liked the look of it a lot. Specifically in some apps and the usual app switch transitions.
Re
Can you give us a link or maybe copy and paste the instructions here, for those of us not using facebook, please? Thank You
I don't have the screenshot of that post anymore i remember the steps.
You connect ur fone to laptop and connect hisuite. Backup ur fone via hisuite. Go to updates and click install older versions. There u ll find oreo update. Install that update. Do not disconnect ur fone in the process. And also, remove any lock passcode etc. After installation fone ll restart a couple of times ans voila. U r in heaven again ???

Realme XT EU os bugged due to upgrade, how can i fix this?

Hello
i updated my realme xt to Realme UI using the file found on the official website but my phone started acting up soon after ( brightness control won't work ) . So i did a reset and even more things started to not work like google play services etc etc , the phone is pretty much unusable. The phone still works and boots and evrything , just extremely buggy and can't login with google and all its services , also i get popus about that pretty much constantly.
I came to find out the update was only targeted to the indian version of the phone . I didn't even knew there was a different version.
I tried to revert to the realme xt eu rom but the phone won't let me downgrade it , i'm using only the stock recovery and i didn't unlock the bootloader , what do i do now? is there any way i can fix it by myself?
@stefano.parizzi1 How did you try to downgrade and which file/version did you exactly use for your downgrade attempt?

i tried using the stock recovery using the official RMX1921EUEX_11_A.06 ozip rom but , fair enough , the recovery displayed a message error i couldn't flash a previous version
OK, that's exactly what I would have done. Sorry, I have no idea, I hope someone else or realme-support can help!
(and please keep us updated, it seems to be an important issue)
well it's important because i think others will have the same problem , realme ui has been advertised globally and is present on the international site for download without a clear indication is for just the indian model :/
also i sent a mail today at realmesupport in europe and got no response so far
it is a shame that they dont have any security in place that is preventing users from accidentally updating the wrong firmware. Hopefully you can just flash the EU realme ui rom once it is out and that fixes it.
UPDATE : Realme just pulled the update on hold due to bricked devices....

Even more: Why isn't it possible to deliver a single update which installs on all XT devices worldwide? 95% of the code must be identical and the installer should be able to check, which of the last 5% are needed to run on the different versions.

I already update to android 10. So far its ok even it says indian region but everything seems fine except my fingerprint scanner. Ive always experienced that my phone wont show the finger scanner while the screen is off. You need to double (if enabled) to unlock or instead used the power button which is too much of a hassle. Can anyone have the same experience?
Realme xt Update
So the download page ist active again but im curious cause its the same file and i couldnt update it last time over the recoverymode ,it tells me the installation fails and now i dont know if i shuld risk to try it again with the "new" version -
Anyone in EUROPE used it ? or leme say used the update with the global version of the Realme Xt (8GB)
I Apreciate any help waiting like 1,5 week for this damn update ...
Ps. and no it Dont work over file manager its just decrompress and no i cant downgrade the file manager i dont know which kind of information they got

well, i'll probably try it since it looks like realme support doesn't really exists ( i sent an email on friday and got no response about warranty/ repair )
looks like the name of the new update is : RMX1921EX_11_OTA_1010_all_yuEH87qmmZhw.ozip i wonder if the "all" indicates all models support

Well the thing is its the same file like last 3 days, i got the update 3 day earlier and then i try it and the installation failed in recovery mode i dont know, where are you from and it would be nice if you tell me if it work
It's still exactly the same file from the beginning, they just added a warning in the "update log"
XT in India don't have NFC, so their update probably won't work (well) with Russian/EU models which have NFC.
If it were OK for the Russian/EU model, they certainly would have also posted it there

Guys,
The update that came out recently has little bugs in it and you will end up bricking in some case .
I was told post flashing from recovery i should have tried reboot instead of pressing ok to the update,which im not sure what difference does it make
I took the phone to service center and they used my device to test Android 10 to fix main bugs with discussion with Main branch for software development for 2 days and finally my phone works flawless on realme UI \Android 10
Indeed its really good than the old color OS and liking it closer to stock andoird

it fixed the message errors for sure ! Thanks!
But unfortunately the rom remains heavily bugged due to hardware differences and several things crash ( update app , bootloader unlock official apk , chrome sometimes ) and the device remain not google certified so i can't use netflix via play store nor bank apps
and on that note the Realme support in europe is TOTALLY non existant i sent an assistance ticket 10 days ago and still haven't heard back from them yet ( not even a " sorry we won't fix that " )
i'll proceed for a legal compliant if i won't hear from back within the current week
Can you unlock the bootloader after update to realme ui ? So you can flash twrp
I have these problems my fingerprint is bothering and the battery goes down very fast

Android official OTA packages from other sites safe or not.

Hi , I had a motorola g5s plus with android 7.1 for a long time , just before the official release of android 8.1 for the device in my country i downloaded a rom from a youtube link for my device it was titled as official rom .( it said it was a rom from country which the offical updates were released few days before in my country).
Instructions to install the rom were fairly simple , i just had to grant the updater the permission to access storage in my phone then paste the rom into the internal storage of my device and then normally go check in the updater of my device and it showed updates available .
so i did everything, updates were installed normally and never actually experienced any bug whatsoever . Also i regularly got security updates from lenovo/motorola through OTA.
FYI - i never rooted or unlocked my device's bootloader it was completely stock device .
My question is are there chances that the rom i installed from an unknown source might be hampered? or cracked in someway it is completely safe to use my phone?
this may be a silly question , i am sorry if it is but i really know very less about these things , please guide me. thank you in advanced.
@Dante18 Give the Link to the YouTube video.
@lucki1000
i can't actually find that video on youtube . i was just wondering if anyone ever tried to hamper or crack official OTA package would it still Install on a completely Stock device and still get regular updates as in form of OTA from Lenovo/Motorola?

I think this are spam packages, i would not try this packages, i can only recommend roms from XDA or the vendor.
