Seems like Android Pay does not recognise the latest system update as an official ROM, after installing Android pay and giving all the permissions:
Android Pay can't be used on this device. This may be because your device is rooted, has an unlocked bootloader, or is running a custom ROM. As a result, Google can't confirm that your device meets Android Pay's security standards.

I inadvertently ran this update after purchasing the phone 2 days ago, didn't unlock the bootloader (though applied for it) and of course, haven't rooted.
I factory reset twice and still got the same. Looking forward to unlocking the bootloader so I can downgrade to the older ROM or even go on the global one (since I saw in another thread Android Pay's working on the latest global ROM V8.2.1.0.MAHMIDL, and the latest downloadable Chinese stable Rom V8.2.2.0.MAHCNDL)
Anyone updated and experience the same issue? And as I'm a newb in all of this, must I unlock the bootloader in order to downgrade?
Tried to get it to work, this time through using recovery flash (without need to unlock the bootloader and what not). Here's how I finally got Android Pay to work, and also got myself on Global Rom (lovin' it)
Prerequisite: Download the latest stable ROM file here to PC
1. Download the Chinese version of the Xiaomi Mi PC Suite and run it
2. Plug in your phone to PC and boot into recovery mode (push both volume up button + power button together until your phone reboots)
3. Allow driver to install, if you're in recovery mode, a prompt will come up. If not don't panic, read step 4. Otherwise go to Step 5.
4. If the PC Suite does nothing even if you push the big orange button on the right to connect (apparently they haven't upgraded the software to support Android 6.0 yet -_-"), click this button show below

}
and select the button with the words "Recovery" in it, it will prompt you to reboot your phone into recovery mode (push both volume up button + power button together until your phone reboots).
5. Select the ROM you pre-downloaded on your PC and let it run.
6. The PC Suite will look like it hits some error and on desktop the progress remains at 0% but somehow things are churning on your phone as you can see "MIUI update" and a progress bar below.
7. Let it run its course and allow the phone to reboot
8. Voilà, your phone is now in Global ROM
And Android Pay now works, hoorah!!!
Great guide, thanks a lot! I've got the sister phone to this one, the Xiaomi Mi Note 2... and my Android pay was not working with 8.3.2 global.. But now it is.. I will post a guide elsewhere as to how I had to fix it...
THIS is a DANGEROUS post, it may work - or like in my case it will start for just a moment then stop [causing a factory reset to occur] without updating. Make sure you have your mi account login and pass ready when it comes back up - or your locked out of the device setup.
Due to frustration caused by trying this post I ended up unlocking / rooting the device. It was easier than I thought it would be, flashed global fine from there and updated to 8.2.4.0 just fine OTA. Have gone on too work on other things I had decided not to due because I hadn't decided to root the device. So I guess there was a silver lining to this.

Until i looked on here today I wasnt aware there was actually an update for the huawei p9 as i the phones 'Check up update' would always tell me there was no new version. I have the P9 EVA-L09 UK version and am currently on EMUI Ver 4.1.1 and Android version 6.0. What is the latest update i can install on this phone please and will i lose all the data on my phone?
Depends on your build number. If it's C432 you should be able to update to Nougat. If not you will need to follow the debrand guide found on this forum.
My build number is EVA-L09C432B182, which is the correct version right? I just tried updating to B386 from this guide here...
http://www.stechguide.com/download-huawei-p9-b386-nougat-update/
but i get an error message saying that the update.app is the wrong version, do i need an early version of the Nougat FW??
It's a minefield. Some work some don't. I'd try an earlier build b360 or b361 maybe. You could also try using the Huawei updater guides are on here.
hmm tried version B360 and it gets to about 39% installer and then gives me a 'Software Install Failed' message. Do i need an even older version of the Nougat FW?
That's the oldest as far as I know. Did you try with 3 button or hidden update menu method.
nah i used the phone keypad code method. I have just unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP, can i update it via TWRP safely?
Hmm well ive updated to Nougat but something doesnt seem to be right alot of the programs are missing and now im unable to get TWRP to load and just seems to load Huawei eRecovery when i press the volume up and power button on turn the system on. How do i got about getting the phone back to stock (bootloader relocked, un rooted, twrp uninstalled and back on Android Marshmellow 6.0)?? so i can start again?
Look for the b136 rom. I believe that fixes a lot of issues for people. Most of this is on the debrand guide. Have a good read of that thread.

Ok thanks i just posted a new thread as i now seem to be stuck on a 'this system is rebooting' screen (the warning screen you get that tles you the phone is unlocked) and the phone never actually boots anymore. Will me force flashing (Volume Up+Down+Power button) the b136 rom get me out of this predicament?
I've not had to do it myself but I have read that others have. Good luck. Shouldn't be this hard to update.
Hmm i dont even seem to be able to get the phone into the force update process (Volume UP+DOWN+Power) just hangs on the Huawei logo screen
Hmm i think the phone is bricked, im unable to get into the menu to update the Update.app file from the dload folder on the SD card, i cant even get the phone to switch off it just keeps restarting itself and freezing on the 'your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted' screen....

if i try and turn the phone of it just turns itself back on and freezes on that screen again
Im able to get to the Fastboot & recovery mode screen if i hold volume down button.......
and if i hold down both the volume and power buttons i get this screen....
and not the firmware update screen i should be getting.
It has been suggested that i need to use DC Phoenix program to fix the phone but thats a paid method and dont really want to go that route if there is another way!??
Sorry to hear that mate. Good luck fixing it. It should not be this hard to update. For some it's easy for others it's a right pain. I'm sure there will be a way to sort it the hard bit will be finding it.
Hi, I have checked this thread as I experienced the same issue(If confused what I'm talking about read
www chinaphonearena com/forum/Thread-Question-LeEco-Le-S3-X626-Helio-X20-Bricked ), I was able to get past the phone buttons not working and was able to flash a new firmware. But this led to another issue considering the system.
For one, I am unable to unlock my bootloader, I just receive the error : FAILED (remote: unlock operation is not allowed), and there is no way fro me to get in my android as it always stays on the LeEco POWERED BY ANDROID screen, which then shuts down and reboots.#
As well as this, the display is now very unusual: the LeEco logo is coloured green white and yellow, the display is flipped horizontally and mirrored vertically.

It's VERY annoying and I hope it can be solved.

You need to power the phone and wait till boots. Enter the flipped UI enable developer mode and unlock the bootloader.
All the control are flipped so be patient.
After that enter fastboot and flash the original rom

Thanks for the reply, I fixed the issue the same day, I just fixed it using the second part to tickernel's red light unbrick tutorial, I completely missed it out. The rom I was using where everything was inverted was just to unbrick the phone, then after I'd have to flash the rom provided by tickernel to fix. It worked again and an advantage was that there was no more ORANGE state, I didn't have to patch to hide the message nor wait the 5 seconds, so now I can flash custom roms on my phone without the message. The method you provided wasn't the fix, before opening this thread I double checked and saw your method, but thanks anyway .
it was necessary to use a mirror. for example, in the bathroom

it depends on which model is taken ROM. It does not play any role. Can be changed to Build.prop

after bad ressurects i return my device le x626. to le x620 with eui 5.8.018S (stab.) it works normal. But was some bugs with 4g on (turn phone off) and google programs don's start.
But i fixed it all, now it works great, but i think is it bad?
take the stock firmware 28. and install. why use the old version? maybe get my firmware.
to use google apps. you need to download google installer, then after installation, in the settings give permissions to all Google apps.
and correctly to do so: to install firmware, then to start system and to configure it. and then only install the google gapps.
Update on unbrick
With my phone unbricked, it now works perfectly. But now the battery drains very fast. It drops by around 25% in less than half an hour with normal use such as watching videos on youtube in "360p" with all my apps closed, but still the battery drains. I have tried flashing different roms and clearing all partitions in twrp and flashing the CUOCO AND WOLFRED x.28s custom stock roms, but still the issue persists. This is very unusual as before my phone bricked, the battery would hold up for at least an hour before falling by 10 to 20 %. Does anyone have any speculations on why or any fixes? Please help.
UPDATE: I fixed by flashing the international version system.img only if you need it send me a message and I'll put up a link.
Hey,
Well, I'm after a failed attempt to root the phone.
I used Miracle Box to root my phone but in Fastboot mode it still says that the phone is Locked - but many applications built into the phone shows me the dialog box that the phone is rooted, the same shows me the Magisk app (SafetyNet test failed) and I read that it could be by some overwritten system files etc. And the question - how can I now return to the initial state? Need to reinstall system? If so, how?
Huawei Mate 20 Lite
Hisilicon Kirin 710
Android 10.0.0.286 (C432E12R1P1)
If SafetyNet attestation fails then either phone's Android got rooted or phone's bootloader got unlocked.

How is this possible when Fastboot says "PHONE Locked"?
It's not my photo but it looks same on my phone

Then what do I have to do to cheat this SafetyNet? I know I can do something like that with Magisk but for this I need TWRP which I do not have ...
Btw. To do this root I had to roll back Android 10 to Android 9 (If I remember well) and when I thought root failed I went back to Android 10 (i do that with HiSuite - I don't know if it matters)
Edit: to unlock phone in Miracle Box I went to the "Android" tab and clicked the "Unlock Bootloader" button then after a few seconds the phone reset from Fastboot back to Android (no wipe data - and as far as I know, unlocking the Bootloader involves deleting the data) And in the Miracle Box it was written that the operation was completed successfully.
Fastboot is integral part of Android OS: hence I would trust at 100% in it, and not in any 3rd-part app.

Okey, but:
- system apps (i mean from Huawei) shows me dialog box with text that my phone is rooted
- I can't pay with my phone (in store etc. with NFC) and banking apps shows me errors that my phone is rooted or modified (including GooglePay (i can't add my credit card because i get error that my phone is rooted))
- I can't download Netflix/Update Google Chrome from Google Play (This is the only apps I can't download so far)
And the best: It all worked before I tried to root the phone!
This is a screenshot of the game center app from Huawei (The text in English reads "Your phone is rooted. Continued use of the Game Center app may compromise security")
Magisk SafetyNet Test (big text means "Invalid certificate"):
Edit:
Yee, so it's strange - but someone wrote to me that there may be overwritten certificates, flags, etc. And because of all this it fcked up my phone and the Bootloader, Phone can still be locked
And I do not know what now - Flash ROM? Can I do so on a nonrooted phone?
You confuse things:
Whether an Android is rooted or not doesn't depend on whether a phone's bootloader is unlocked or not.
Android OS is rooted when SU-binary is present and accessible. And this easily can get detected by apps.
My recommendation:
To get rid off of the issue you have re-flash phone's Stock ROM.

Yep, but only I have a problem with finding the ROM preferably in this version of what I have now (the latest) or somewhere around 10.0.0.286 (C432E12R1P1) for SNE-LX1 can You or someone help me with that?
Hi everyone,
I was recently given a Xiaomi Mi 8 which is now blocked in a boot loop, because Xiaomi apparently thought it was good engineering to give people tools that make flashing easy, but are rigged with a deadly "clean all and lock" option ON BY DEFAULT. Please allow me to sum things up.
HISTORY:
My mom had a Xiaomi Mi 8, bought a newer phone for some reason.
She had a reseller fix/clean the Mi 8 and gave it to me as a present; all in excellent shape.
My wife's phone sucked more than mine, so I migrated her number/data/etc to the Mi 8 for her to use.
Everything seemed fine, I let the system update to MIUI 12 (don't know which one was installed before).
Only then did we notice: no sound coming out from the ear speaker... Dunno if it worked before MIUI 12. My mom never had a problem with it before.
After looking it up online, I saw sometimes system updates did screw up parts of the phone for no reason.
I downloaded Mi Flash Tool + global MIUI 11 rom, hoping to downgrade and see if it fixes the ear speaker.
Bootloader was already unlocked, downgrading is apparently officially authorized, so... I flashed the phone!
After installing and rebooting, it got stuck in "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".

TECHNICAL:
Phone: Xiaomi Mi 8, second hand, no idea what the original region was.
OS: MIUI 11, downgraded from MIUI 12.
ROM: dipper_global_images_V11.0.5.0.QEAMIXM_20200706.0000.00_10.0_global
Bootloader: previously unlocked, now locked because Mi Flash Tool was set on "clean all and lock" and I didn't know better.
Connections: USB OK, fastboot/sideload OK, EDL OK
Mi account: didn't have one, I do now, couldn't link it to the phone though.
After lots of research, tests, hopes and disillusionments, I'm still stuck and can't flash anything into it, can't recover anything, can't move on. I did many attempts in EDL mode (opening the phone allowed me to notice it had been opened before, I guess by the repair shop my mom took it to). I'm appalled that Xiaomi let people flash their phone with official tools so easily, yet fail to warn us VISIBLY that 1) your phone may be from a different region without you knowing it; 2) you aren't allowed to flash a Global rom on a China rom; 3) the default option in Mi Flash Tool is to lock your bootloader after flashing, which is THE reason why your phone may end up locked by mistake.
I got my hand on various versions of Mi Flash Tool (latest, 2018, beta), Mi Flash Unlock (early, recent), Qualcomm drivers, Miracle Box Thunder Edition 2.82, XiaomiToolV2, and of course Minimal ADB & Fastboot. EDL is a no-brainer now, plugging the battery out/in, pressing VOL- and Power too... I tried to flash a Chinese Developer Fastboot rom, I tried firehose patchs, nothing ever worked. Apparently I'm now out of luck, being stuck in a bootloop with a MIUI version that wasn't meant for my phone, with a bootloader that's been locked again, without a linked account to unlock it. And no, I don't wanna drive to a Xiaomi shop, I don't wanna pay a stranger to unlock my account with Teamviewer – basically my mom gave us that MI 8 so that we would not have to pay anything. Otherwise I would've paid to replace the battery of my wife's Samsung A5 2016 and we would've been fine.
Could anyone knowledgeable enough tell me if there's another way to fix that phone, or if it's definitely stuck and I should sell it for parts? Thanks for reading.
Come on... Anyone?
Also, could booting TWRP on my phone help in any way?
Or maybe a Qualcomm vulnerability, like the one used by Project Renegade?
I have a camellia device, I tried to use a custom rom(pixel experience) the other day and some time later I wanted to revert back to stock rom.
I mistakenly flashed "camellian" rom instead of "camellia" rom through PE recovery.
Since then the device kept bootlooping.
So while troubleshooting, I tried to use the Sp flash tool.
For the roms I get them from "mifirm.net". I downloaded all the necessary drivers that I can find.
But the first version of SP flash tool, Sp flash tool v6,
the app asks for the "download-XML" file which I can't find ( screenshot in pic1).

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I downloaded another version.
In this version though, the app doesn't recognize the xml file and gives the error
"5011; the scatter file has incorrect format! Please ask for help!"
I googled the reason why it gives me the error but the fix that people are giving didn't seem to fix this particular case. (pic 5,6,7).
.
.
.
I can't find any other fixes so I gave up on Sp flash tool.
I tried to use "mi flash tool" this time with Global rom.
Again, wrongly I flashed it with the Qualcomm settings a bunch of times and also got the bootloader locked. But the flash got successful somehow?
(I can't provide any pics because I am making this thread now after I've sent the phone to the Xiaomi service and I didn't take screenshots before sent it)
At this point I noticed that the stock recovery is back into the device.
Anyway, I used some 'shady' workarounds to get it unlocked again and when it was unlocked the phone said something like "your device is corrupt and can't be trusted".
It went away when I flash the stock rom with Mi flash tool again. ( I still used the Qualcomm settings)
When it's done it's still bootlooping but at least the "your device is corrupt and can't be trusted" message is gone.
I tried again a couple of times with different versions of roms; miui 12, 13, 14, global, china, india.
It was after that I discovered that there is "MTK" option in Mi flash tool.
I selected the "scatter, auth, and DA" files in it. But there seem to not have the "refresh" buttom to detect the device. I tried plugging into it with Fastboot mode and again while pressing volume down, up, and all buttons. Nothing showed up. (pic.8)
So what do you guys think? Do you have answers to any of the problems that I got during this journey? Please share your thoughts because there is no answers of a lot of my questions when I was trying to google it. I could not even use reddit because as you know, that site is under strike and apparently dead for the moment. I would love to know what experienced people have to say about this post. ^_^
