here it is BLACKSTONEv1Unlock
but you can normally download it after then when you place your emai number on that site
in that folders are some imei files but you use it at you own risk only
there are some other soft for unlocking here BLAC001-unlocker
and the other rar files here are downloaded from rapidshare I found it there
I take no responsibility for bricking your phone if you use them and don't works !!!
Put your's results here please !

I am afraid it seems you are mistaken, the program is available for download without entering an Email for other phone models too the rodium for example you need this program to exctract data from your phone you then send that and your imei to them, you then get a file and you can then unlock the phone.
The key here is the imei file you got.
Where did you get it from?
What are the chances that a random Imei file would match your phone???

Lol Indeed!

Did you unlock your phone with the file dowloaded or with the file that you share in your folder...
There are different when you run it,
I can't do the test because i'm not administrator of my computer... should wait for test some days...
Someone tested the file named ; BLAC001-unlocker.exe ?

Doesn't work I used the Blackstonev1Unlock.exe which confirmed my phone is sim locked and extracted some info. I then ran the BLAC001-unlocker.exe program and used the imei.unl file from the zip linked. After that I ran Blackstonev1Unlock.exe again which gave me the same "Your device is SIM unlocked" command prompt as shown in post 1. However I tried my O2 sim (on my Orange phone) and it booted to a sim locked screen

Interesting mine dosnt even run?
It opens the command prompt and then reboots my phone?
it then gives me a "communicating with device" error.
did it a few times no AV on, also tried in safe mode still nothing.

!!! Try hard reset phone !!!

OK guys PAY ATTENTION the things go so :
I have unlocked it by using one of the imei.unl file in same directory,
but what's DANGEROUS, I FOUND THAT MY IMEI HAVE CHANGED !!!
It is possible to unlock, but if someone could find how to change the imei nubmer in that file imei.unl !
I don't know if it's legal, but I post here the imei number which I have now : 35396902204055301 on my sim unlocked HTC Touch HD to compare with others, who made successfully unlocked it like me !

I'm sorry guys, but that guy could be right.
I've unlocked quite a few phones and I remember that I've unlocked a HTC Nike and a HTC Vox (which was locked before, I always check that) for free with imei-check's software. Sometimes, it does that

[GUIDE] Downgrade + Bootloader Unlock

Hi there.
I decided to post a guide on how to downgrade and unlock the bootloader of "Huawei P Smart"
I've seen a lot of people now knowing how to downgrade, to a unlockable firmware.
Please note that "Bootloader unlocking" costs 4€ using this method!
I do not take responsibility for any phone that Is bricked or damaged In any way, by using this guide!
Required Stuff:
Huawei P Smart (any model)
Charging Cable
Windows PC
DC-Unlocker (easily found on google)
Firmware Finder Huawei (found on Play Store)
And of course 4€ If you are unlocking bootloader.
Downgrading
Here Is my current firmware:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
First of all we need Firmware Finder:
After that we open It and It should have a button with your phone model.
In my case I am using a FIG-LX1
On the list of firmware's I selected FIG-LX1C432B129 (8.0.0.129)
Now you should get to another menu and select the eRecovery option.
Then you should get this handy message with a DNS Address you need to enter In your Router.
In my case I found It under basic settings, and my default gateway was 192.168.0.1
After this Is done, disconnect, and reconnect to your WiFi on the phone.
Then press the "Open QUERY" button, on the same page as we got the DNS address.
Make sure the website looks like this.
Now press next, and you should get a "check availability" button
Should say this.
Press OK and press next.
Now press the "Register Update button.
Should come with a small popup saying that you registered It.
Now press next, and press OK on the second pop-up.
Now you need to power down your device.
Then you simply Insert the charger and immediately start holding volume up.
Release once you see this screen.
Press the "Download latest Version" button.
Then you should get into this screen.
Here you just need to press the "Download and Recovery"
It should connect to WiFi, and should start downloading like this.
Remember to check that It Is the 8.0.0.129(C432) Firmware!
After this Is done you should get into a bootloop.
This Is easily fixed by holding Power + Volume UP.
Now you should be In normal recovery.
Just press "Wipe Cache" and then "Factory Reset"
Now your phone will reset, and should boot into first time setup.
No need to set It up completely If you are going to unlock bootloader!
Here Is my Build Number after his procedure.
If your phone Is like mine, congratz on the Downgrade
Bootloader Unlock
Now for the bootloader unlocking.
As mentioned before you will need 4€ for this procedure!
First of all.
enable developer options. (press Build Number 7 times)
Then make sure USB Debugging, and OEM Unlock Is enabled!
Now we need to go to the dial pad, and enter In the number: *#*#2846579#*#*
It should get you to a menu like this one:
Once in that menu, go Into "Background Settings" and select "USB Port Settings"
In there select "Manufacture Mode"
Now plug In your USB, and open up, DC-Unlocker.
On the left Select "Huawei Phone", and press the Left button.
Then It should detect your phone like this:
Now you need to press the "Buy Credits" button, and go through their form.
Remember to buy 4 credits (he cost of bootloader code).
Even easier, you can get the DC-Unlocker app from the Play Store, and get credits through that.
They will send you a password for your account, once payment received.
Now press the "Server" Tab and login.
Then go to "Unlocking tab" and press "Read Bootloader Code"
It should give you your bootloader code.
Now comes the easy part!
Go Into the folder where you downloaded DC-Unlocker
In the address bar, type "CMD" (without the "") and press Enter.
You should get command prompt up like this.
Now you simply enter these commands.
adb devices. (make sure your phone Is listed)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices (make sure device Is listed)
fastboot oem unlock *KEY* (replace *KEY* with your bootloader code from DC-Unlocker.
now you should see a "Yes or No" screen on your phone.
Press Vol up/down move and Power to select.
Now your phone will reboot, and automatically reset Itself.
All data will be erased.
After this It should pop-up like this, and then boot Into Android.
If everything went according to plan.
You should be unlocked and ready to flash some Roms
I recommend flashing OpenKirin roms, since they are specific for this chipset!
Sorry for the VERY big pictures, and hope you could use this tutorial :fingers-crossed:

good job ...an easy way to "buy credits " from dc unlocker is through their mobile application ( through google playstore) ..

Is it okay to install firmware for the FIG-LX2ZAFC185 on my FIG-LX2C185? Firmware Finder can't find any software for my device. Edit: Yes it's okay, I had no problems!
Also, I can't put my phone into Manufacture mode; when I enter the dial code the dialer just resets :/ Edit: After downgrading Firmware it worked
Thanks so much for the guide man!

Nova 2
Hello,
Thank you so much for your tuto.
I have a problem with firmware finder. I'd like to downgrade my Huawei Nova 2 to Nougat so I chose one of the firmware proposed with EMUI 5. But when I click on "check availibility", It send me to the first page where I have to chose my phone model.
Please help me... I really need to unlock my bootloader, I thought I would succeed with your tuto I was so close...
Tell me if you have some suggestions.
Thank you so much.

Sorry for late reply, currently working on some stuff
I don't have a Huawei Nova 2 so I am not the best to ask
This guide with bootloader unlock is intended for Huawei P Smart.
That being said try: reinstalling the app, and select the earliest firmware for the phone

When i tried downgrade not working. Is there any new solution?

FIG-LA1
I can't downgrade at Erecovery it says get download information failed.

use only full OTA stock update you downloaded from internet on pc using chrome but download from creators of firmware finder team MT... then global search in XDA for hurupdater.. follow instructions to apply stock rom sd card.. doesnt matter if it's a downgrade it will flash

But if i use hurupdater, do i need bootloader unlocked.
So now my bootloader is locked and can i use hurupdater?

I paid a guy who did it all for me downgrade and bootloader £9, if you can downgrade yourself it's only 5£ for bootloader unlock. I've been around a while but I class myself as a noob. The website is called MOS ministry of solutions. However now I've been there done unlock, root, twrp which was only last week I'd say it's a waste of time, unless you really know what your doing but even then these guys in here have gone full circle back to stock. I've gone full circle not just to stock, removed root and back to stock recovery. Only thing I took from root was I managed to make the speaker louder as one of my motivations for root was viper which don't work on Huawei or specifically psmart for sure. So sorry to say this but at this stage there isn't much development for psmart which is because Huawei have made it difficult. I'd advise against mods of any kind at this stage. I was rooted less than a week and multiple resets, soft bricks and not much success with magisk modules that count like viper.

i used erecovery method also, i think my version block all methods using firmware finder. my version FIG-LX1 8.0.0.163(C432). Any one have success downgrade with this version?

Finally, yesterday i bought new sd card 16gb and dowload a firmware which is old one from androidhost ru. And downgrade is completed. I bought bootloader unlock code reader from google play store dc unlocker and happy ending

This is the exact method I used and it worked perfectly, I second this!

with this method your firmware will be changed like 8.0.0.046.
when your bootloader unlocked succesfully.
VolUp + Power and use Erecovery to dowmload correct version

This is true, unless you plan to install a custom ROM like Open Kirin, then there is no point

Yes, i used aosp 9.0 but battery performance was bad. I turn back stock version. I could not find custom rom with better battery performance.

Did someone tried to unlock P Smart 2019 model?

Once unlocked its permanent. Back up phone and do hard reset. Use the key combo not the option from Setting menu. If that doesn't solve it then use Emergency software repair ( Samsung Switch) on PC .

i already tried a hard reset, did not solve the problem.
i will try smart switch and let you know

ok i tried to use samsung switch, first of all the tab "Device Initialization" is missing in the latest version of this software, i tried to use an older version, here the tab Device Initialization still was here but when i type in my Model Number and SrNumber it Says:
"SM-G973F" does not support Initializing. Please contact a Service Centre
do i have to use ODIN now??
i guess i just will wait until a new update will come out and try to update with Smart Switch

You can reflash the fw with Odin. Flash the version you had before the "unlock ". I think they are messing with some version of firmware...

Very close.
Bare with me as it's been a moment since I've worked with these tools:
Most 'instant' unlocks, done via USB over TCP/IP, tend to alter one of the device's primary certificates to allow for an 'instant unlock'.
If, and when, one of these certificates is replaced, it alters the chain of trust required by the device.
So when the device goes looking for an update, the update server acknowledges the request but sends back a query. In this query, and depending on the model, the update server looking for several variables and these must ALL match. Seeing as one of the primary certificates has changed, the result expected by the server isn't matched and, as such, it doesn't allow for an update.
@Rexton270 is correct in that you should replace the firmware with the same (and failing that, a newer version if possible). AFTER you flashed the new update, follow these steps:

(I know you don't have a Verizon device but the steps are the same)
Please keep us posted.

thank you for that explanation.
i will first try to update the phone with smart switch as soon as there is a newer version for my phone, atm it says im up to date (i hope that is true) maybe it solves itself when i start an update with smart switch, if not i will follow your steps
thank you very much.

because there was still no update in samsung smart switch i flashed it with odin.
problem solved.
thank you.
for other users: if you want to unlock your phone, use the samsung database instead of the cheaper version.....

Excellent news. Glad to hear it all worked out.

General Journal: A brand new OPPO Find X3 Pro (UK/EE) - From new to clean de-bloated android (hopefully)

To start this journal I will begin by stating, I am not actually sure if it will be possible to finish this journal; from what I have read there can be quite a number of obstacles with international versions of the OPPO, some of which can be quite troublesome, but I thought it would be an interesting and hopefully helpful (for my self and anyone else wanting to do the same) way of going through the process with such a modern device.
The device arrives tomorrow, I wanted to get the initial post in without knowing precise details about the device.
I will update this primary post with the journal entries and post into the main thread when I update it going forwards
-- Entry 1 29/01/2022 00:21 (Dellivery today at some point!)
So far I have found out that cpw means car phone warehouse, which used(still is?) a store in the uk, 'EE' a network provider in the UK releases of the Oppo x3 find pro are apparently identical to releases from this store.
I have asked the user who informed me of this if they could possible put any information they are aware of within this thread.
Also, I will be doing the unboxing and initial looking at what it is via youtube I hope this is ok? I could not see a way to embed video onto this platform!
-- Entry 2 29/01/2022 10:53 (Delivery)
This is just a few images of the arrived device, simply unboxed and put on charge nothing has been set on the device what so ever.

}
Also note that this image showing the build number is by @alvydas it is not from my device yet! just some more information to add to the journal, this is believed to be the same as mine should show later on when I decide to video/start the phone up
Also for note the CPH (Possible related to CarPhoneWarehouse) prefix in the build number)
-- Entry 3 29/01/2022 13:11 (Turning on, Bootloader unlock, USB Debugging enabled)
Youtube video:
- May still be processing the HD version in google HQ!
-- Entry 4 30/01/2022 10:53 (Getting sorted)
Ok so we can't root it and we can't change the boot laoder .... however we can get novo launcher to start by default! The pro version at least!
Not exactly an amazing feat but hey its progress, I also removed the gmail mail application as I preffer outlook (mainly because I have 3 email accounts):
And boy .... you can really remove everything including:
130|OP4F57L1:/ $ pm uninstall --user 0 com.oppo.launcher
The coloros launcher its self X_X, so it seems you cannot get root, but there is no protected package, you can remove ANYTHING.
so this bodes the question .... other than wanting lineage OS of course, how thin can we get it ....
-- Entry 3 10/02/2022 10:53 (Hackery and cleaning)
.... So there is no fastboot on the international model, it is simply not there I even got EE them self to confirm this.
However, I have made some progress in discovering a way to get to the qualcomm flashable download mode, that is it will show up as a:
One of those (if you have the Qualcomm drivers installed), some information I put in the forum about this mode was this:
1) Turn the phone off (shutdown)
2) Hold the power button and the Vol up/down (I Forget which) down all the way through the phone starting, you will feel a little Bzzzzz
3) you will be presented with a menu probably in chinese, this is because you held down the power button and it auto selected the first language (its not a biggie), just press the back touch screen button in the top left <--
4) Select english (or chinese if you preffer!)
5) you will be presented with a menu that has 3 options, Format, Reboot, .... something else ...
6) Select none of the options! look to the bottom of the screen you will see a version mine was v12 o3 v1.2 - double tap this
7) you will get a warning you are entering 'customer service mode', and wallah .... you will get the device show up in device manager.
I was going to shoot a video of this, I still might! but its rather redundant at this point as I am now at a brick wall, I need to figure out how to deal with this mode, can I flash something to it .... how?
I am scrubbing the phone of all the bloatware I can and to be honest I have it pretty damn clean .... but still the fastmode is elusive and what else could be loaded onto this lovely phone.

Entry 1 added - nothing really important

Entry 2 added, initial unboxing simply for charging, video to come soon: looking for details!

The CPW in the build number is more of a guess than anything else we all could be wrong

Yh that's fine

Entry 3 uploaded, many thanks @alvydasd2 We do have slightly different builds it seems!

So now next up I believe its rooting the phone should be fun, also I beleive there is a way to root a phone but hide it from applications like paypal ... would love to find more out on this

Also have to figure out if all the fancy camera things will work with a custom rom, such as the microscope mode and all the advanced functionalities
Maybe the best initial tangent is to simply root the phone and remove any bloatware as well as installing novolauncher, followed by re-rooting it
That way I will not lose the ability to use the special camera functions and in turn still receive updates, I believe I can actually freeze certain packages too so they are effectively immutable, so they show up but can never run or be changed ... hmmm

Rooting ain't gonna be easy on this phone that's if you can unlock the bootloader which is pretty much impossible unless you have a Chinese variant of the phone or somehow figure out a way to root it without unlocking the bootloader would be a miracle

Check the youtube video, I appear to have lol ... though I did notice that going into the recovery menu is all in chinese ... so I assume its the chinese version:

The only problem being ... I have no idea idea what this menu says -_-

I guess that is tomorrows episode though, connecting it via ADB+TWRP

Usually first thing when you open recovery is choosing a language idk why English wasn't there and btw the difference between the builds is you're running lower firmware so if you try to update it you should get the same build number as me and if u had the Chinese version your model would have been PEEM00 or something like that

Oppo has a weird bootloader cuz it can only be unlocked with an app that only works on Chinese version and to access fastboot u need a unlocked bootloader

just read this .... so there is no way to even fastboot the device https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...access-for-oppo-phones-starting-2016.3348114/

I wonder if you could flash on the chinese version of the firmware

it seems that the device is really a 'realme gt 5g' .... trying to verify this

Question Cannot register a new fingerprint in OnePlus 10 PRO

Hi
I bought a new OnePlus 10 PRO from Aliexpress. Its a CH version that the seller installed on it a global rom.
In the first setup of the phone, When I get to setting the fingerprint, I am unable to set it. I get the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I tried updating the phone, I tried factory reset... its always the same.
Any idea?
Thanks !

Are you sure that he installed the global rom? With model is yours NE2213 ? I bought from them also but I don't have this issue.
Anyway, you can try to use Oxygen Updater, to check if there is an update for your device or since your device is reseted, you can install ColorOS back

Hi,
I am on NE2215. Using Oxygen Updater I see that I have the most up to date version.
Not sure exactly how to install ColorOS.. I do want to have the regular OS that I would have as if I bought the global version (which i guess this is what the global rom mean..)

Right, I agree with you. I recommended to install the coloros just to check if it's a compability issue.
You can try to reinstall you version and see what happens, just download it and flash it again.

ok, and now for someone that have no idea how to do it?

If yours is NE2215 A13 you can download the ota file from this link: https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/7548d30abac02bde85a403bcc3a218df868e1910.zip
Then put it in your phone root and from your device Settings -> About the device -> Click on the option to check for the update -> 3 dots menu -> local installation and chose this package. It will start the installation.

Thank you for your help !
Downloaded and copied into my device files.
However - When I go to "About device" and click on the "up to date" button to search for updates, it just tells me I have no updates and i see no 3 dots to go for local installation:
What am I missing?

I think it's obvious that something went wrong during the region change, this issue was prevalent on the 8 pro and was extremely difficult to fix.
Check out the 8 pro threads you'll be sure to see it. It's a partition iirc and if it's borked then it simply will not work..
I can't remember the name of it off hand but have a look and I'm sure you can get an idea of what may be wrong, specifically that partition.
Overall it's difficult to say as you've got a region changed phone, have you asked the seller what they did? If it is indeed as difficult as it was on the 8 pro to fix and seeing as you may be the only person experiencing this (far as I know) then I'd consider returning it.
You could re-flash the entire OS via fastboot enhance but that would also bring with it inherent problem's, if it's new then I guess the question you need to ask yourself is it worth it?
Did you save much money getting that converted variant?

This page is from android play services. You need to click on the first banner

@dladz TBH I bought it for around 70% of the price I would pay locally.. So yea, it was much cheaper. I also had before OP9 global rom and had no issues with it.
Maybe indeed as last step its worth trying to reinstall everything again.. I'm just not sure how to do it. I cannot find the local upgrade option as advised above, and after googling a bit how to do it using ADB, when i try to run fastboot oem unlock - the CMD will just show me forever "< waiting for any device >" (and this is although I was able to communicate with my device using "adb devices" and I got back my device id.
@zopostyle I did click on that banner you're showing and I got to the page I showed you before..
I'm clueless

If that is the page showing I'm assuming you're on a gsi ROM and not oxygen os.
Now it's better to reinstall OxygenOS completely because it doesn't seem to be the ROM you're running.
Search here on xda to unlock your bootloader and then you need to find the zip with the full ROM for you device and install it from fastboot as mentioned.

OK, i'm trying to unlock my bootloader but as I mentioned:

I tried several tutorials online and so far I found no tutorial that will actually give me step by step that each step is actually working..

Maybe it's missing the drivers. Try this https://gsmusbdriver.com/oneplus-10-pro

I feel you buddy.
You can use the app in my Magisk guide to do local installs.
Unlocking the bootloader you need to type fastboot flashing unlock
I haven't had to change region myself, but I did make a thread for someone else where the process was listed, think I called it changing Chinese firmware iirc.
If it's just a case of a re-flash of the firmware you're on, it's not that difficult.
Just use oxygen updater and grab the full firmware then do the local update using the app I mentioned above (listed in my Magisk/root guide)
I've never done this when not having the bootloader unlocked personally, but you can unlock and that'll wipe your phone with the recovery already on your device.
Only issue I have going down these routes is what else is missing? Do any of these processes stand up if we can't rely on the integrity of the OS that someone has put on and made a balls of it?
Sorry I know you may not agree but 30% is a small price to pay to avoid a brick and bring stability..
But that's me

That is a seriously good shout and would explain the fingerprint.

Hi guys, thank you again for helping me.
I tried installing again the uSB drivers, and ran again "fastboot flashing unlock" - it still telling me:
As far as I understand I have to unlock it for next step, right? (either for resetting back to colorOS or reinstalling oxygen)
I will try later tonight the other method (this magisk thing) - is this the link you're talking about?
Can you please also give me a link to download the full most up to date global Oxygen version and the CH Color one? i'll try both
Thanks !

For OxygenOS there is no A13 full yet...so you have to download A12 from this link: https://gauss-componentotacostmanua...22/03/24/a9f9e7ec682744c2ba606a366df587ac.zip

The chinese one is hard to find, if I find it I post the link here...
Also this thread might help you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-10-pro-ne2215-rooted.4431585

Really is odd about them not being full... They're massive compared to conventional incremental updates. 4.05GB that's a hell of an incremental.
Haven't had to do it myself and it's sightly off topic but is the full version you'd use to recover a phone albeit without a functional MSM?
So fastboot flashing?
Cheers

Hi again,
So, i'm trying to follow the tutorial here. I got stuck already in the first step - I cannot extract the boot file using Fastboot Enhance:
This is although in this link I have downloaded a full version (EU version (NE2213_11.A.13)).
What should I do next please?

As @zopostyle said earlier.. you'd need to use 12 mate. As that's the only full version available...13 won't cut it...you can extract the images using the button that says allow incremental, that's useful for extracting boot images for rooting.
But there's a reason why that's there, it's so you don't go ahead and flash it.... According to @zopostyle 12 is the only full version so that's what you would need.
Again I've not done this myself so perhaps wait for someone else to chime in what to do next.
