I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKS, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. I TRIED AND WORKED FOR ME.
THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA FROM YOUR DEVICE.
THIS IS FOR STOCK CHINESE ONLY, I DID NOT TRY IT ON UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER DEVICES, ROOTED DEVICES, OR ANY OTHER SITUATION, SO IDK IF WORKS FOR THAT.
What you gonna need:
android 12 India Rollback:
https%3A%2F%2Fdownload.c.realme.com%2Fflash%2FDP1_Android_13%2FIN%2FRMX3301_ROLL_BACK_Android12_IN.zip&e=118628786
Full OTA CN A13
https%3A%2F%2Fdisk.yandex.ru%2Fd%2FkCmfvWkxHTLqJA&e=118628786
OP Updater apk
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/oplocalupdate_for_android13-apk-2-zip.5722227/
YES! YOU GONNA NEED BOTH Packages CN A13 and India Roolback
Steps:
- Update your Chinese device to A.13 c.08 normally using the official updater.
- Once you are on A13_C.08 official update turn off All internet of the device.
- Transfer all the files downloaded to Documents folder of your device.
- Go to Settings - Applications - Application Management, press 3 dots, select to show system applications! In the search, enter - Software Update, find it and clear the cache and data in it! Next, in the search, enter - Update Service, find it, and also clear the cache and data in it!
- Install the OP Updater apk
- Place the Full OTA CN A13 zip on the root folder of your device.
- Open the OP updater, press the gear on top. You will see the CN Package listed, tap on it but DO NOT INSTALL (do not touch anything on the popup that will show up)
- Put the OP updater app on Floating Window so it does not close it
- Go to the file manager copy the name of the OTA CN A13 from the root of the device and rename the android 12 India Rollback with the name of the OTA CN A13 you copied
- Delete the OTA CN A13 from the root of the device (or move to another folder) and move the Android 12 India Roolback (that you already renamed) to root folder
- Go back to the floating window OP Updater and press install now
- After process is done you will see a Reboot button, press it and let it do the job.
Done! You should now boot into global ROM India Region.

Will this also work for changing region from mea to eu?Will this also work for changing region from mea to eu?
No, it won't work for you.
I was able to switch from android 12 CN (A18) to Rollback 12 IN (A14) the first time, then you can switch from Rollback IN to another region.
If you switched from Rollback IN to EU, for example, then from EU to another region is not possible, after flashing will be a brick.
If you need another region, then you go back to Rollback 12 IN, and then to whatever you want. Rollback is the starting point!
P. S. I don't know about the Chinese region, mostly everyone switched from Rollback 12 IN to EU or RU.

After switching to Rollback IN you need:
Do a data reset, download Full OTA of the desired region (Global/EU/RU) and move it to the root of memory (should not lie in the folder!), then turn off the Internet (or better not turn it on at all) - clearing the cache and data of the two system applications: "Software Update" and "Update Service", do not forget to enable "show system processes".
Next run third party updater - "OPLocalUpdate_For_Android12.apk" (or "For_Android 13" if you have android 13), but this time you need "NOT TO CHANGE!", press 3 points, select the file .zip (aka Full OTA), wait for installation ... ...then reboot.
For peace of mind, do another data reset (via recovery).
If all went well, congratulations you changed the region!
P. S. I went this way from Rollback IN --> EU-NONEEA-Double (XNE00DB) Android 13.

You need a root partition, NOT A FOLDER!
The root partition has other folders like, "Alarms, Android, DCIM, Download, etc." You need to move the .zip file to the root section, it should be next to the folders, NOT IN THE FOLDER!

Hi Guys,
I am going to explain you all how to root your Mi3, Redmi1S or Redmi Note - Indian version - Works on other variants too - Tested on Singapore, Malaysia and TD too. This may work with other Country ROM's also. If you are successful please let me know & the method u followed. :good:
This is so far the easiest method to gain root on your MI Device - Even a Noob can do it :laugh:.
1. Download the follwing zip file and rename it to "update.zip"
2. Put these files on in the SD card of your phone. - Not inside other folders i.e on ur root of sd card.
3. Now open Updater app, click menu - select "select update package option". Then select the "update.zip" and update. Now your phone will ask you to reboot. Select reboot now.
4. Reboot your system now. Go to Security app - Permissions - Root permission - Turn on. U have root access now. (Screenshot for the same has been attached below - Just for Help).
Download link for the file : https://www.dropbox.com/s/e8ng3b1ruezldiq/root v18_BB10Unlock.zip?dl=0
Hmm simple & cool so we can access root even in stable rom right?
Yup that's right mate - And it just takes a second to do it

FYI, rooting has broken my OTA updates.. Though I can always go back to correct Unrooted version and update...
Thanks all the same
As per below thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/guide-how-to-root-mi3-t2845843
"NOTE 2: for some people rooting breaks OTA UPDATES but for some it doesn't. To update your phone you can simply unroot it and update it and root it again. Doesn't take much time to unroot."
Thanks for highlighting this issue. Hasn't happened with 18 devices rooted by us so far. Will do the same if it happens. Cheers.
Guys anyone else not able to get OTA ? Bcoz of shifting to Dev ROM or enabling root - Plz post !!

hello i have kiw-l21c185 how update to emui4?
1) download the proper update for your device from honor 5x repository on XDA (google it to find it faster). Then unzip it
2) Now create a folder (name it dload) in the root of your internal storage or SD card and place the update.app file in that folder.
3) Now go to the phone settings–>update and press the menu button.
4) Now select choose Local update.
5) It will detect the update.app and installation process will start.
6) Wait until the installation process is complete and then reboot

Hi guys
The official OTA update (B380) with Andoid 6 and Emui 4.0.1 arrived on my PLK-AL10 around a week ago and I was very disappointed when I saw the "privacy protection" feature is not there anymore. This feature allowed me to create "visitor" account and the visitor could not see all the apps and albums.
Now I installed B395 hoping the feature included but it is still not.
I would like to revert to the previous system (as I remember it was B320) or any working version with Android 5 and EMUI 3.1.
I tried to install all the rollback files I found on the net but all stopped after a few percentages with the error message "software install failed".
Pls help me, what can I do?
You can root your device and add a couple of lines in /system/build.prop to get back the multiuser mode.

Hi again,
Finally I managed to edit my build.prop and got "users" option. The problem is that is is not the same function as "Privacy protection" was in android 5. Privacy protection left the icon layout untouched, it was just possible to hide albums and applications.
Here when I create a guest and switch to it, it shows a completely empty system without any installed apps, pictures, etc..
Therefore I still want to go back to Android 5. How is it possible? I have TWRP installed. My current rom is B395 and phone is PLK-AL10.
To add to previous post, please unroot, flash stock boot.img and recovery.img BEFORE attempting to flash any ROM, including transitional package.

I don't think he was rooted, as the official update was missing a feature and he just wanted to get back to Lollipop.

pixelitect said:
You have to first flash the transition package to go back to Lollipop. For transition package to work you have to first flash STOCK recovery.img.
To do that execute the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img[/b]
Here [b]recovery.img[/b] is the name of your recovery file, and execute this command from the folder where you have saved the STOCK recovery.img. If you don't have STOCK recovery then you can extract it form the [b]UPDATE.APP[/b] using [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454"]Huawei Update Extractor tool[/URL].[/QUOTE]
First I wanted to do so, but I could not find any transition package that worked with B380 stock rom (now I have 395). All I tried stopped with "software install failed" :(

Ok, I haven't heard about this yet but I'll try.
Finally, after 2 months of struggling I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 without a rollback file.
Here is what I did:
0. Download a full ROM you want to install
1. Backup of the current system with Hisuite (everything. Apps, media, contacts, call log, etc.)
2. Flash TWRP recovery with fastboot (start phone in fastboot mode)
3. Wipe (and format!) everything you can with TWRP
4. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from update.app of the new ROM with Huawei Update Extractor
5. Flash boot.img and recovery.img with fastboot.
6. Copy update app to dload folder on SD card, insert into the phone.
7. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
8. The system will be installed from SD card. I had no issues with the installation. First I did not format the phone (just wiped) and it did not work.
9. Restore data from backup.
The only strange thing is that the native app icons look different than my previous lollipop system. Don't know why. They are less colorful. I installed C00B220 for PLK-AL10.
I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 with a rollback file.
Here what I did:
1. Download Downgrade pack.
2. Download C185B130 ROM, which i want to install.
3. Backup of the current system with Hisuite (everything. Apps, media, contacts, call log, etc.)
4. Copy update app from Downgrade pack to dload folder on mobile internal memory.
5. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
6. The system will be installed from mobile internal memory. I had no issues with the installation.
7. Copy update app from C185B130 ROM to dload folder on mobile internal memory.
8. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
9. The system will be installed from mobile internal memory. I had no issues with the installation.
10. Factory reset the mobile if the memory is showing 4gb.
11. The the native app icons look different than my previous lollipop system.
Thanks to tgergo and rest of everyone for the kind help.

So my friend got an update to the huawei XT. He was already at b160. The new update is labeled as b170 which i think it could gain some hope this phone will get nougat sometime (most likely not). The update only has a device security patch. The security is from june 5 which is pretty old but i guess it's better. If someone else received the update post it here
got the notice for update at noon today - but alas, I have mine rooted so it tried to update, and then reset and is back at 160.
and yes, was really hoping beyond hope for some Nougat...
We need someone then to unroot the phone and update to b170 or at least check how to update to b170
See this post and links in it for how we updated before if the phone was already rooted (and for stock phones that can't OTA due to non-AT&T SIM) :

you would need Root and a Root explorer - file manager
you would go to settings / Software update / download the update
choose to install it later
then with the root explorer search your phone for an update.zip
I'm not sure where it's stored I'm looking for that information now
after you find the update.zip file copy it to your phones storage and upload it to your google drive (or anywhere I can download it from)
if you know the exact location the update.zip is stored you could possibly adb pull the file without having root
Update should be in /cache/fotapkg/update.zip

When I get it I'll get all that as well.
The ATT update note calls it B160_B170_SMR_100 , I hit continue when I tried to hit "remind me later" - but it redownloaded.
Ghost Commander shows nothing in the /cache - odd - so I don't know where it's actually sticking it. I'm searching for it both under that name above and also as update.zip and anything else I can think of (by date, since it just re-downloaded)
I'll grab and document all the info on what I got where.
File is in /cache/fotapkg/ but is named package_temp.zip
I have it out, xda won't accept the file that large, trying to figure out how to link that file only to my onedrive so you can get it without access to all my other junk (sorry)

OneDrive link to file package_temp.zip should be 102 mb in size.
Got it using Total Commander. It seems to be better at grabbing root files than Ghost was.
Also, one other note - I modified the permissions from root root to everyone so that may need to get changed back (or not - you tell me) to be able to get it to move.

Well I'm sorry to report so far I have had no luck installing this thing
I have tried the dload/update.app using the dialer method and the update flashes but you have no wifi afterwords
and the phone still shows you on B160 (cust not updated / system files not patched)
I also tried with Flashify and Stock recovery and used an edited updater script in TWRP and all fail for one reason or another
Sooo the only way we will get this is if someone that has done the update
uses TWRP and creates a system.img and cust.img and uploads it somewhere for me
So I can build the B170_Full_Update.zip
Any idea how the phone installs this OTA zip file?
Is the updater-script failing because of assert statements for cust and system?
Have you had success patching cust and system using the OTA updater-script/OTA zips for the Huawei Ascend XT before? How did you end up getting the cust and system for your B160 Update zip? Probably from a TWRP of someone's updated B160, which is what we need to do for B170 now, I'm guessing?
Thanks for your efforts on this and answering my questions.

This will be basically the copy of this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/development/downgrade-p10-plus-oreo-to-nougat-t3724382
But it seems to me that I am not the only one who didn't find it first, so I post it here
I am not responsible if you brick your device, or just damage it!
And all credit goes to @mankindtw and @NoMercyWWE
Always make a backup of your important data, and if you rollback, you need to make a factory reset!
I only tested it with L09, but should work with L29 as well
First of all, you need a P10
2. It only works with oreo firmwares
3. Download the three zip files that are required for update, these are:
update.zip
update_data_public.zip
update_all_hw.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3/b. You can download them with Firmware Finder, or just search on xda. If you want to make a rollback to Nougat, you need rollback firmwares!
3/c. update_data_public and update_all_hw comes with a slightly different name, but rename both files to these names, otherwise the update will fail!
4. Download HWOTA8 from this topic
5. Put the three update files in HWOTA8 dir
5/b. If you want to rollback, but your files in the repack folder, and run repack.bat
6. Create a new folder on your EXTERNAL sd, named HWOTA8
7. Put your three files in it, plus copy MHA_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img, and hwota8_update.zip
8. Now install P10 Plus twrp_oreo.img, if you havent't yet:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_oreo.img
Click to expand...

9. Reboot into recovery, install hwota8_update.zip it replaces your recovery with the Mate 9 one, reboots and updates
10. Done! If you downgraded, or just encounter any problems, go back in recovery, and make a factory reset!
Can I do this without an sdcard?

I think it is possible, but you need to rewrite hwota8_update.zip, since the links there are pointing to the external sd. But I dont know what you need to write there instead
Not sure if I did this right but now my phone shows---> Build number System 8.0.0.046(02ZP)
I had showing before---> Build number System 8.0.0.046(01BN)
I don't seem to have it right still
I also have somethong like System 8.0.0.046(02BQ) but .321(C10) installed. And there were some visible updates from the C900log Oreo, eg auto shazam disappeared from the status bar.
It's frustrating lol...my old Nexus 5 was so easy compared to this device...I know I updated with something cuz I also see January 1st security patch and other little differences...everything seems to work ok but still got no themes though...how do we get it right?

Here he says that you need to install su, and rename three directories, but for me themes are working even without this. As soon as I try it, these steps will be added to the tutorial though.
EDIT: I followed the steps and renamed the directories, but there was no change anywhere.
Yes just tried it myself too and no change...still no themes...had an extra folder in there on mine named "optus"...not sure but the twrp and rooting work awesome but wasn't able to make a nandroid backup to my external storage...it failed
Good day,
with what firmware (please complete naimeninie) you rolled back and what was installed by this method?

Without a SD card it is impossible, with firmware via TWRP, internal memory can be reset and then the firmware will not go to the end. Therefore, the programs are located on the SD.

If this question is for me, I did not test the rollback (I am fine with Oreo), but I would use C432B180. You can check the description of an update in FF to see if it's a rollback one.
Here's the solution : https://youtu.be/WYSVq1TE2kI

Hey, there are many ways of doing it i would recommend https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3691013
[GUIDE] Huawei P10 Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Nougat&Oreo it works great. Go for the hwota rebrand way, it work like charm for me.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Perfect! I applied the update as described in the OP, then did a factory reset and relocked the bootloader (which did another factory reset). Now, at least I can't tell anymore that the phone has been unlocked and rooted...
