Bootloader unlock tool and initial kernel source code has been released! - ASUS ROG Phone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

You can download them here: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ROG-Phone-3/HelpDesk_BIOS/
The current software version on my unit is WW-17.0823.2007.25. Firmware for that version is available. However, the kernel source code is only available right now for an older version, WW-V17.0822.2005.7. The phone isn't even available yet, so give it some time for updated sources to become available.
Finally, the bootloader unlock tool can be downloaded from the above site. I haven't tested it yet (I don't plan on wiping my review unit just yet) but I'm sure others will once they get their devices.

Sir..how to change CN version to WW version rom

Need info how to convert CN rom to WW full rom

Try to convert CN to WW
Hi guys!!!
I read a lot this days and i could find a way to change CN to WW in the last Rog phone 2. The steps are:
1) Download the unlock tool (find in the asus page). The bootlader is open and you cant get OTA. (later you need to close with boot.img)
2)Download the WW rom and install it with the phone in recovery (find de rom in this pages or in asus page)
3)Root the phone and change fingerprint with root explorer.
------------------------------
Now you must to restart the original bootloader with boot.img flashing....
but the problem is that we havent "boot.img" yet.
once we find boot.img for rog phone 3, we could change CN rom to WW rom...

I'm sorry but can someone please show me where I can find the latest firmwares ?

I went on the samfirmware.com website but it says the latest firmwares are from Jan 2012 ???? how is that even possible ?
I am looking for the latest firmware for Canada. I know it was released recently, because my friends are updating, but I'm on a custom ROM and I just want to find the latest ICS firmware and flash it.
Please help!

It's NOT possible. No offense, but if you can't navigate a website to find the latest firmwares (which are from May for the i9100 as of the time of this post), perhaps you should rethink flashing anything to your phone personally.

[Tutorial] Root after November security update (A5 2017).

Edit: You can follow the solution of @ashyx through the following link to fix the problem can not flash twrp or boot via Odin. I think it will work
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...g-sm-a520f-2017-kernel-source-t3557622/page31
Hello everyone,
After I updated the latest firmware, I was unable to flash BOOT or TWRP via Odin. It just returned the result that ONLY OFFICIAL BINARIES ARE ALLOWED TO BE FLASHED (RECOVERY / BOOT). I think samsung locked the bootloader. Today, I have found a way to fix this problem because knox 0x1 but can not root is not pleasant at all!
I only tested on my A520F, not tested on any other device. I am not responsible for any errors on your device.
1. Go to http://updato.com and download 2 firmware updates with your CSC.
+ Latest firmware 7.0 (November security).
+ Latest firmware 6.0 (MM).
2. Backup your important data
3. Reboot to download mode.
4. Add AP, CP, CSC of firmware 7.0 (November security) to the corresponding slot in Odin.
5. Add BL file of lastest firmware 6.0 (MM) to BL slot in Odin.
6. Start and wait a moment.
7. Setup and after that, you can flash TWRP or BOOT via Odin without bootloader errors.
Enjoy!
Sorry for my english...

Hi ahyx, i searched google about not being able to flash twrp or boot after security update in November and know the information is that maybe samsung has locked the bootloader. So, I just tried replacing the BL file of the old firmware that I saved on my laptop and it worked. I do not notice that you have found the solution first. Sorry for it as an act of plagiarism. I will link to your topic as a good faith (sorry for my english)
Oh man, thank you very much !! helped me here too! I had my a5 17 with this 'softbrick' but thank God I was able to install twrp, and so doing root haha I just can not downgrade to the MM.

Vou need to download the latest Nougat 7.0 firmware (A520FXXU2BQK4) and fw plus MarshMallow 6.0.1 (A520FXXU2AQG4).
I, as a Brazilian, downloaded the fw of Brazil.
And then in AP, CP and CSC you put the respective AP, CP and CSC files of the Nougat rom
and in BL the Marshmallow rom file.
It works, man!
At first I had some problems, the smart was out of system because before finishing the process I got some errors (old usb port, bad contact, etc.). Try to keep all the smart USB drivers on your PC, turn on the debug and also the OEM mode and restore your a5. Today I have been able to downgrade and I am using the stock rom 6.0.1
guys can someone please upload MM boot loader so we don't have to download the ROM completely (approx 2.1 GO )
THANKS GUYS
When i try to flash it says: SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2 BINARY 1

OK two things.
1. You can't have downloaded the boot image specified as it's a rev. 2 binary not 1.
2. Your device has been updated to rev. 3, so you're probably out of luck for downgrading.

I just bought the A520F/DS (Malaysia) which still has MM 6.0.1. Can I use the procedure - Flash latest Nougat (Rev. 3 or later) in AP, CP, CSC) leaving BL blank - then do root? (Would I be correct to assume the bootloader will be unaltered, i.e. still be MM 6.0.1?) Thanks.
Just dropping by to leave some info, I successfully flashed TWRP on my single sim A520F with December bootloader updated to january after porting 7.1.1, and another one, same single sim, with January bootloader. Although, i have a friend with Duos that can't flash anything too since november patch.
So i think this issue is more like a bug, i don't see why samsung would lock only duos devices and not single too. N8 issue is actually the dissappearing oem unlock toggle, csc related. Some countries have it, some countries don't. But in our situation, this is more like a frp lock stuck on, no matter why oem toggle says. I surely hope i am right and future updates will bring duos users the freedom back.

Has anyone tried updating to January Security Patch using the same trick? Say, Odin combination of rev 2 BL (from MM) + rev 4 January nougat update (AP+CP+CSC) and had their phones rooted after flashing?
Update: Done using this trick and had my device rooted successfully.
@ashyx
Hi
Is it possible to skip updating bootloader when flashing, to avoid rooting problems?
e.g. Can we update to android O with an unlocked bootloader of Android N or MM?

I need help to update offline LeEco Super4 X43 Pro TV

Hello guys, I recently bought this TV and it comes with android 6.0.
I have did first update with internet but I downloaded package with the next update but I don't know how to update offline, If you can help me will be nice.
Thanks
I look forward for the file, may I know where can I download it and I would like to try update offline...
.thanks
Hello, I'm also looking for the firmware file for this TV. Please let me know if you find it. Thanks
Hello, all.
I'm looking for this firmware as well. If anyone can share, I'd really appreciate it.
I don't believe any of the LeEco TV's in the US have a firmware above Android 6.0. I wish that 7.0+ would come one day but I wouldnt hold my breath.
I came back with the answers, first I downloaded firmware from LeEco web(I extracted link using a proxy), then I copied in a USB hard disk, rename it to "update.zip" (without quotes obviously) and then inserted in TV.
Is mandatory tht TV is connected to internet to verify.
And then I used System Update APP and try local update.
It will copy the firmware to TV and will update normally.
But remember that is an OTA update and mabe you need others firmwares first(what I have downloaded is last one)

I need Leeco Super 4X43 Pro TV firmware English
Hello guys,
I've recently upgraded my LeTV Super4 X43 Pro tv to eui 6.0. 059S_1019 (stable version). I found this file on the Internet, I downloaded it and put it in an USB and updated the eui.
I live in India.
I had the original eui version installed in my TV eui 5.9 System Version 5.9.057S_0604 (Stable version).
But now I don't like the new eui 6.0 because it's mainly a Chinese version ( CIBN) full of Chinese Contents. Although the language is English, the contents are mostly for Chinese people.
So, I like to downgrade to the original India eui 5.9 or 5.8.
Is it possible? My tv is not rooted. Could anyone tell me the way?
Could you please give me the link for downloading the original India / us English official ROM for the TV ?
Please help.

Yes, this is last firmware update package.
There seems to be no way to downgrade back to the US version after updating to EUI 6.0 CIBN. When in recovery mode, it is looking for a .BIN image, not an update.zip.
Might be screwed.

I think last update runs very well, have much features. I wish would be a way to root it. Because I use a network in my home that uses a proxy and youtube app doesn't support that proxy.

Stuck with a old firmware - unable to upgrade to latest ROMs

A family member had some weird behaviour on a Redmi Note 3 using MIUI7 7.5 as I remember.
I looked up on internet and thought the upgrade process was easy. I was an idiot.
This device has a locked bootloader, and I cannot flash legitimately any rom different than Lollipop, unlocking the bootloader officially it's deemed impossible, even a moderator on the MIUI forums confirmed it ( en.miui.com/thread-2526780-1-1.html )
There is some way to unofficially unlock the bootloader, but still the device can only flash Lollipop ROMs, or the baseband will not work, consequently WIFI Bluetooth and SIM cards does not work.
I have successfully installed TWRP, used EDL mode to flash more than 30 different roms, but with no solution, because there is not any rom in sight that has Italian language (except latest stable MIUI9 that it's off limits because not LP)
Anyone has got a device like this?
Is there any way to upgrade the bootloader to MM without losing the baseband?
I don't know too much about this, but you might want to try flashing a firmware update directly, such as the ones from this thread :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/firmware-hmnote3proglobal-t3574361
---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------
best of luck, by the way.
Can you update miui? There is a way to update the do the firmware. Unlocking the bootloader unofficial it's doable, just look in this forum.
I can update MIUI, the latest ROM that i can use it's kenzo_global_images_V8.0.6.0.LHOMIDG_20161025.0000_5.1_global
The newer ones use Marshmallow, they also run and are flashable, but I will not have a working baseband.
The v8.0.6.0 release unluckily it's not fully localized for Europe, does not have Italian and many other languages, or locales.

Changing version CN to WW

Hello, i did a bit reaserch in Internet to find any guide to flash the WW firmware on CN device. I saw, that on Zenfone 2 you need boot.img, recovery.img and droidboot.img. Do anybody know what for files are they? Modded or just extracted from a WW version? Probably simple flashing WW firmware on my phone will brick it, will not?
I hope that we can do it since we have tool to unlock bootloader, but I'm not an expert.

Why would you want to change to the WW I don't see any advantages to having it over the CN?. Also the CN version gets updates earlier than other models.
I just wanted to have more languages (I need german and polish - more locale app doesn't satisfy me). Other thing is that I don't wanna this all Chinese stuff like on left home screen.
