MIUI Global 7.2.4.0.0 uses A LOT of RAM. (?)

Hello. Couldn't find a post related to this. I'm not a lazy browser, been on XDA for many years through many phones. Just haven't had the need for a user account until now.
I see the 7.2.4.0.0 version is removed from MIUI websites and i can think of a few reasons already.
Does anyone else have this problem too? I have the 3GB version and normally start out with 1.7gb RAM after a boot. Gradually over the day (even after closing apps) it goes slowly down to 200mb and i have to do a reboot.
Or Does anyone have the 6.5.30 version and could tell if it uses up the RAM over time?
Sincerely
John

You have a fake rom. 7.2.4.0.0 is not an official MIUI rom and newer was. 7.2.4.0 is an official rom.
You should flash the official rom.

Thank you. I didn't notice the extra zero and didn't think it was unoffical.

You are on an un-official modefied version.
The fake version is 7.2.4.0.0 <- your version.
The real official and supported by Xiaomi version is 7.2.4.0

Hi,
Hope I can get some help. I recently just picked up a unit and am on 7.2.4.0.0. Realised it was a fake rom but I seem to have trouble flashing the global rom or the china stable rom. Believe my bootloader is locked at this point and have applied through the unlock miui website but that will take at least 10 days or more to get the SMS.
Frustratingly, I have seen some solutions on the miui forum and there was one proposed solution, of which many were finding success, that includes booting to recovery mode and then hitting shift + [flash] when connected to the Chinese miPCsuite. My update only goes by to mid 50% levels and then its stuck on for several hours! Is this a USBC to USB port incompatibility issue (if it was it wouldn't have recognized the phone right?) or is my phone just beyond saving ? At this point, im not confident in using other solutions as they look highly technical and some have highlighted that their phone has bricked in doing so.
Appreciate any advice! thanks. PLEASE HELP!

if you already tried the simple steps as stated then there are no more simpl steps left.
Do an EDL flash and make sure you clear all, and be aware that most Mi flash stuff works best on Windows 64Bit.

What he said, download the latest, both files can be obtained HERE
-MiFlash tool - step 1
-official fastboot rom - step 2
install the MiFlash tool
extract the downloaded rom (tgz) then extract the output file (tar) > make sure you copy the path of the directory where you see all the files like flash_all flash_all_lock etc..
reboot your phone into fastboot mode (you can access this by turning off your phone, hold vol - and power)
make sure you have adb on your pc
type this: the first line is optional to see if the phone is recognized.
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem edl
edit: I should mention, do not panic, the screen of the device will turn black but will still remain on.
launch the MiFlash tool
Click on Refresh, you will see a device right now in the list called COM (some number) >>>> it will be ticked
Paste the copied directory path into the white... uhh search bar thingy . or just click Browse and select the appropriate path.
Click Flash
edit: once done, simply unplug your phone and restart it by pressing the power button.
That should be all

Thanks for the reply! Before proceeding, I actually received the SMS to unlock the bootloader but im still at work so I cant go back and attempt the unlock. So just trying to manage my expectations here.
Is it safe to assume that all I need to do now is log in to the unlock tool by miui and unlock? because im still on 7.2.4.0.0 (the unofficial discontinued rom) and I have no way of flashing it to any other roms. My last attempt last night was again, stuck at 52% after a nights worth of wait! TT

Thanks for the help. I will attempt this as a last resort. I just received the SMS to unlock my bootloader. Hopefully its as simple as logging in and unlocking so I can get rid of this pesky 7.2.4.0.0 supposed "Global" rom.

i have successfully flashed to global rom!!! but now i have no audio coming from the speakers!!!! is it just my luck!!!??? and after reflashing again.. its completely dead.. its goes into the sign in to miui welcome page and just goes insane.. like to the point where i cant even select options and and random menu sounds keep coming up.. cant even turn off i had to reboot to fastboot.. is a goner? sighs..

7.2.4.0.0 to Resurrection Remix (CM13)
- unlock bootloader
- flash TWRP with fastboot
- install Resurrection Remix
- install GApps
- reboot, now it's say Google play stopped.
- go back to TWRP
- wipe data
- reboot and everything is working

Convert to DualSIM Huawei P10 Plus (VKY-LXX)

ADVICE, THIS IS A HARD HOW-TO AND YOU LOST ALL DATA ON YOUR DEVICE, THE RISK OF BRICK IS LOW​Welcome to a V1 Version of th tutorial for convert the Single-SIM to Dual-SIM on Huawei P10+, based on experience of Huawei P9 Lite and researching for Huawei P10/P10+/Mate9

The benefit is that it BECOMES dual SIM as it is only disabled in software not hardware.

Great you have posted this How To BadWolfYe - only bits i am not sure of are the 'unlock boto loader' as see no instructions for this (unless i am being completely dim, which is possible!) and where to find an unlock code in case we need to relock the bootloader... or do we have to re-lock it after to get OTA? Actually if we do get OTA will be get the dual or single SIM OTA once upgradng to this?

Thank you for the guide.
Will it work for the P10 also?
Thank you

Has anyone got this to work? This is my first Hauwei device so I wasn't 100% sure how to complete some of the steps. What I have a the moment is a phone that reports as having 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage space and running Android 5.1. Could anyone please expand on this guide or let me know where I went wrong?

Okay, I don't really know how I managed to do it but I've managed to change the software of my L09 to that of an L29 and it works fine. So thanks for this guide.
After stumbling through this guide I ended up with a device that had some weird software with ndr90m test keys (whatever that means0. However he Dual SIM worked. So then I followed the guide from here with the firmware from this post and now I have phone that correctly (or should that be incorrectly as strictly speaking it was originally an L09) identifies a P10 Plus L29.

Which one of the guides did you follow on that page? First or second?
Also... Just to confirm that all you did was use the 29 rom from here rather than the 09 from there?
Plus (sorry for all questions).... Your second sim now works ok?
Thanks

Hi all,
First of all: BadWolfYe! Thank you the guide!
So yesterday I got my new P10 plus, but I became really upset when I realized it is only one SIM version, so decided to make it 2
But!
OK, I did not do anything like this in the last few years, but I am not totally amateur. But I had problem wit it...
I did everything as written.
I restored the VKY-L29C432DualSIM and now I do not know what to do...
I know, next point, but my pc doesn't recognize the phone. And ADB doesn't either.
When I turn it on, it goes to Huawei erecovery, wants wifi and download something to recover.
It was TWRP recovery before on it, but it seems it disappeared after VKY-L29C432DualSIM...
Unfortunately I had to come to work, so could not play with it and to be honest I am too tired after this to think clearly.
Does anybody know how can I do the next step? (Via Fastboot flash the erecoverycustom.img file with this commands
Thanks.

I used method 1 and the 29 ROM from here.
---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------
I'll attempt a guide here that's maybe not the quickest way of doing it but it's the way that works for me. The guide also assumes you can manage to download a quick adb setup and use adb from the command line. Bear in mind that BadWolfYe has written guides on what I'm about to cover below and that's how I learnt. TWRP install by BadWolfYe.
0) Take working L09 phone and bootloader unlock code (I put the details of my phone into the Huawei website and got a code in return)
1) Enable developer options by going to Settings>About phone and tapping 'Build number' a bunch of times until it says you have enabled developer options.
2)Now go to Settings>Developer options and select 'enable OEM unlock'. Also enable USB debugging and ADB etc.
3)Download and rename twrp to twrp.img from the link in the BadWolfYe thread here
4)ADB reboot bootloader' from the command line and enter 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'
5)Press and hold volume up and power until you are in TWRP and then back up your OEM partition. (if you can't get into TWRP then you may need to repeat step 4 and also do 'fastboot flash recovery2 twrp.img).
6)Use the File manager in TWRP to replace the OEM files with files from the zip file download link in this thread above.
7)Restore OEM partition and then use the Shutdown option in TWRP.
8)Download the ROM from above This BadWolfYe link and unzip to find 3 files.
9)Place files in a folder called HWOTA on a microSD card and place card into phone
10) Download this file from this guide and extract to your computers hard drive.
11) run update.bat from that extracted contents as an administrator and follow the on screen instructions. The on screen instructions basically take you through from step four on the stechguide.com method 1 through to the end of the guide. I think I remember you get some options and I just use option 1 twice, from SD card and not rebrand.
If you can follow the guides they should work fine and you'll end up with a completely stock dual SIM phone with a locked bootloader.
From that point on I unlock the bootloader on mine again, install TWRP again and use it to flash Magisk 12 for root. Using root and Titanium Backup I restore my old device ID and a bunch of apps and settings and things are fine. However on the next reboot the launcher refuses to run and I'm left with an unusable phone (I don't know how to launch apps without the launcher) and I get error messages about running short of space as something has filled the internal memory with what appears to be junk files. I then start from step 8 in my guide and get a phone with a locked bootloader and no root but the device ID I want and all my apps and data.
If someone could offer me any help with regards to this last part I'd be grateful. I don't understand what causes the launcher issue.

Fixed...
Device ID, I think same - unfortunately my PC was stupid (nooo, not me) and I make the note in it so I lost it
2 SIM works - however only EE ones so the phone is locked. (Testing the online unlock code sellers )
Bootloader locked
Met "ndr90m test keys" as dave852, but hes linked page and 1. method helped. Oh, and could not install L29 ROM with volume + - and power, only with the linked method. I think that method could do everything after you opened bootloader, but will not test it. I am happy with my L29
But the important, there is a way to make L29 from L09

I would guess it would be possible using the files from the OEM backup you made (if you kept them) and a downloaded L09 ROM (available in a few places) but I'm not 100% sure and I'm not going to try it.

No, I have not any backup. I forgot to made any so I am lucky that I did not need it

I somehow managed to convert my single sim to dual-sim but unfortunately i cannot modify nor set any ringtone to the 2nd sim. Any ideas of how i can fix it ?

LOL. I gave this several attempts, alas, without success. I kept ending up with the test keys / strange device ID (ION something).
So I decided to skip my rebranding attempt and go back to L09. After "rebranding" it to L09 again and after flashing B130 for L09 I ended up with dual SIM support anyway. Eveything seems to be checking out as far as I can tell. Not sure if OTA will work though, time will tell I guess. Safety net etc. also checks out.
The options for dual SIM are showing and I've tested it. Everything just works.

Can anyone confirm that after enabling the second SIM slot that their phone now has 2 x IMEI numbers?

I just recently purchased p10 plus . for 3days the Fone was working fine both sims 3/virgin then suddenly emergency calls only on 2nd sim. I tried to deactivate activate ect ect . until I lost both sims. Soft hard reset sim 1/working sim2 emergency calls only. If I swap the sims around in the tray same issue . then with only one sim either 3/virgin full teceotuin if I make or receive a call after the call I have no reception I wil l need to swap the sim from tray1 to tray 2 . and the funny thing is both sims will receive and send texts all day long with no issues
Any ideas
Thanks in advance

Has anybody done this and checked warranty status in Huawei Hi Care app?

I can confirm this works 100%. Dualsim working. Serial, imei all still the same. Recovery back to original too

P10 lite bootloader unlock (June 2020, Windows install)

Damn, it's been a while since I was here. Back then it was mostly about Windows PDAs.
Disclaimer:
Your warranty after this process is void and your phone will tell you it can not be trusted because it's unlocked.
This is what worked for me. I did it on Windows 10. I just went through the process and it was a bit of mixing and matching various guides.
I'm not your tech support, the only one responsible for following this is you.
If any part of this guide doesn't work for you: too bad. Maybe Google or other users can help you with your problem.
Needed:
An internet-enabled PC
Huawei P10 Lite phone
USB to Micro-USB cable
HiSuite https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/hisuite/
DC-Unlocker (comes with abd & fastboot) https://www.dc-unlocker.com/
Optional: Huawei Driver Tools https://mega.nz/file/qrpBUIKA#zaI8Th0ovgyK48VzFUFAzMNWF2r_R12lNc-uJZsIx4w
Note: I recommend not to buy credits until you've come to the part in my guide which says buy credits.
Install HiSuite
Unzip and install HiSuite on your PC
Start it at the end of the installation (it should show a button with "Start")
Connect the phone to your computer with the USB cable and follow the instructions in HiSuite to install HiSuite on your phone
At the bottom of the (Windows) HiSuite there's an option to do a System Upgrade, mine had the option to install an older version (Android 7 with EMUI 5.1) Install this. (This will take some time)
Note: I've read that some people couldn't downgrade because of modern security fixes. It's possible I didn't run the latest updates, but as far as I'm aware everything was up to date.
The following part might be annoying because HiSuite tries to connect to the phone. I uninstalled it at this point, but I had the Driver Tools installed (and did the Install within said tools).
Phone
Once the phone restarted, go through the set-up as quickly as possible (skip WiFi-setup, decline all optional things and skip account creation)
Go to Settings > System > About Phone > Keep tapping the "Build Number" until you're told you're a developer
Find the developer options (Usually in Settings > System and enable USB/ADB debugging
Open the telephone app and type: *#*#2846579#*#* (it should open a menu automatically after the last *)
Click Background Settings > USB Port Settings and select Manufacture Mode
Once Manufacture Mode is selected, leave the phone untouched
DC-Unlocker, part 1
Unzip the contents of the DC-unlocker zip
Start dc-unlocker2client.exe
In the top left, under "Select manufacturer" change "Huawei modems" to "Huawei phones"
Click the button with the magnifying glass, if you did the previous step hovering should say "Detect phone" on hover
Example out put (this might differ for you, but triple-check a port is detected):
Code:
DC - Unlocker 2 Client 1.00.1431
Detecting phone :
selection :
manufacturer - Huawei phones
model - Auto detect (recommended)
Found Applications port COM3
Model : Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone
Serial NR. : [redacted]
Firmware : System 5.1.0.78(0VVV)
DC-Unlocker, part 2
Check again if a model and port is shown in both the output and above the big buttons.
In the top right, click About > Buy Credits
DC-Unlocker site
Select your payment processor
By default it creates a new account, unless you've used this service before, you probably want to keep it this way.
Fill in a username and an email address
You need 4 credits (€4 for me) at the time of writing this, but do check the link "How much do I need?"
Hit confirm and go through the payment process, wait until everything is processed (if you use a script blocker, you might want to temporarily disable it).
At the end you should get confirmation page with your username, a password and 4 credits. (Username and password will be mailed too.)
DC-Unlocker, part 3
Go back to DC-Unlocker
In the top right, click "Server" and enter the details you've gotten
Click "Check login" and see if the output window shows your username and the credits you have left (which should be 4 at the time of writing)
In the top right, click "Unlocking" and then click "Read bootloader code"
The output should show you the bootloader code once it's done. Copy this to a textfile and save it (and keep it in the memory).
You can close DC unlocker once you've saved the code.
Don't be lazy and try to copy/paste the commands following in the next section, since you want to keep the code in your memory, as seen in step 6. Besides, I'll show you some shortcuts anyway! Keep in mind that our example code is 1111222233334444 (yours most likely isn't, mine sure wasn't) and that [tab] will mean the tab-key on your keyboard.
PowerShell/Command Prompt
In the folder where you unzipped dc-unlocker2client.exe to, press [shift] on your keyboard and hold it while right-clicking in an empty area underneath the files, then click "Open PowerShell (or command prompt) here".
Whatever command-line you started will open, type ad[tab] and adb.exe should be appear (shows up as .\adb.exe in PowerShell)
Follow this by typing reboot bootloader. So it should show as
Code:
./adb.exe reboot bootloader
(no ./ in command prompt)
Hit [enter] and the phone should reboot to a screen with a white background
Once the bootloader screen shows (white background with the android mascot) type fast[tab] in PowerShell/Command prompt and follow it up by oem unlock[space]
If you still have the bootloader code in memory, right-click in PowerShell/Command prompt to paste it. Your entire line should be
Code:
./fastboot.exe oem unlock 1111222233334444
Hit [enter], the unlocking will start and factory reset your phone. My output was:
Code:
(bootloader) The device will reboot and do factory reset...
OKAY [ 10.330s]
If everything went right you'll see the Huawei/Android bootscreen and then a warning that the phone is "unlocked and can not be trusted" to use or something like that. It'll boot into the OS after that.
I'd like to remind you of the disclaimers at the top, but hopefully this will help some of you going through the process.
Edits
Forgot about USB debugging
Added the warning you get after a successful unlock
Changed the build number tapping sentence
Rewrote a sentence for clarity

Very nice guide, if ppl ask about unlocking we just link this from now on...

This is a very helpful guide, thank you so much! My question is, if I wanted to flash twrp when the bootloader is unlocked, is there a way to upgrade it to Oreo once again without locking the bootloader again? I can't seem to find a twrp tutorial where they use Nougat/Emui 5 to flash twrp, and all the tutorials to upgrade to Oreo/Emui 8 look like they're locking the bootloader once again and I don't really want to waste 4 euros to go back to the start.

A bootloader unlock should be permanent? I've been moving between Android 7 (EMUI 5), Android 8 (Emui 8) and Android 10 myself in all kinds of directions.
Besides, I think the code is tied to your device, so you should be able to use it again. (But I'm not sure about this!)

Thank you for your quick reply! So after the bootloader unlock, did you flash twrp on Android 7? or did you upgrade your phone to Android 8 and flash twrp then? How did you manage to upgrade it to Android 8?
I really appreciate your help with the previous tutorial, I've done everything until the buy credits part (I'm waiting a bit for that part) and I'm planning on getting to the end of the tutorial at least before August. My idea is to upgrade to Android 8 + flash twrp and Magisk, hopefully I'll be able to do all of that!

I did the above procedure on an up to date, official stock Huawei android. Both EMUI & Android are 8. I'm in the Netherlands, so it'should be the same model as in Spain. (WAS-LX1A)
The HiSuite step is to downgrade from EMUI 8 (Android 8) to EMUI 5 (Android 7), since that seems to have less securities to make it easier to unlock the bootloader.

Oh, I understand now! One more question (sorry if I'm being annoying, it's my first time playing with a Huawei, I must say that Samsungs are far easier to root/unlock lol): If I follow your method, but after getting the bootloader unlock code and right before unlocking the bootloader, I use HiSuite to upgrade back to Android 8/Emui 8, would the procedure be fine? like, it's totally fine to unlock the bootloader either with android 7 or 8, the only time I need android 7 is to get my code because DC unlocker supports them better, right?
Again, thank you so much!!!

I'm not sure to be honest. But I reverted to 7/EMUI 5 because I read around here on the board that's better for trying to unlock.

Thank you,
Only fastboot.exe oem unlock xxxxx failed with the following error: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.022s
This was resolved by going back to settings, developer options and check 'enable oem unlocking'. I didn't read that in your guide.

I did the above procedure on an up to date, official stock Huawei android. Both EMUI & Android are 8. I'm in the Netherlands, so it'should be the same model as in Spain. (WAS-LX1A)

Hi, I have the same model. But I can't figure out how to update to EMUI8 again (or which custom recovery works). It doesn't find the update in HiSuite and it doesn't find it via System update. Do you happen to know how? Thank you.

What should I do next?
I did manage to unlock the bootloader thanks to this very clear post. I did downgrade to Android 7 / Emui 5.1.1 and have a working rooted system but he is trying to upgrade again to android 8 / Emui 8. I know by experience that it will lock again with the higher version (the unlock code can be used several time fortunately).
I did try to flash some roms on it, going for instance to Lineage OS 14 but it was all a disaster and I think that I need some guidance now..
I am not a newbee for rooting and flashing but do not understand yet the Huawei system; is that so that I have to choose a new ROM with caution, especially with the Emui version? Looking at the old posts, I find some old ROM's even with Emui 5 version but do not understand the path that I should follow to progressively upgrade.
Thanks in advance for your orientations!

A bootloader unlock should be permanent? I've been moving between Android 7 (EMUI 5), Android 8 (Emui 8) and Android 10 myself in all kinds of directions.
Besides, I think the code is tied to your device, so you should be able to use it again. (But I'm not sure about this!)

For me, I did get to relock by accident but I confirm that the unlock code is permanent (at least, I did use it 3 times with no problem!)

P10 lite Pinout
I would like to know if they have tried to unlock the bootloader with the Pinout method.

I ran into the same problem. Did you find a solution?
I followed this guide, downgraded to EMUI 5.1.1 and tried to install several custom ROMs. But none of them will boot. It is always stuck on the splash screen with the "bootloader unlocked" warning and doesn't get any further.
I tried installing LineageOS 17.1, 15.1, and RR on Android 9 but no luck on any of these. Also, is it possible to revert back to the stock ROM? Maybe that will help...
Thank you all for any help

Nothing unfortunately, I did finally reinstall Android 7 with HWOTA https://www.******.com/huawei-hwota-tool-for-huawei-devices/ and managed to have a working Android 7 / Emui 5 that works perfectly if you do not forget to make a complete wipe/reset when rebooting. The bootloader is still unlocked.
Strange enough this system is upgradable through the normal update system (parameter/system/update) and keeps the unlocked bootloader. Today, I did upgrade to a very last built today - 394(C432) - without problem. Apparently I just have to re-root it through trwp.
I keep it like this now, finally, the Huawei system is not bad! and it is yet rooted

Is 394(C432) finally coming as OTA? Back in July I had to download it via firmware finder and flash it with HWOTA after unlocking the bootloader... lol just to relock after updating... However even Huawei support didn't know about 394 and denied it would even exist, not too surprising in hindsight! Still eversince I was wondering if it ever comes as simple OTA, which indeed seems the case eventually!

Yes, WASLX1A 8.0.0.0394(C432) did arrive as OTA around the end of October. I was surprised as I did not expect any new update on this phone!

Yeah, it's actually crazy cool that it was patched after all this years, I however read it was primary updated to support the coronavirus warning App framework! That's actually the reason for Huawei to push another last update!

Downgrade option doesn't exist for me in Hisuite. My phone is WAS-LX2 8.0.0.370(C185). The last update I got was on 13 February 2019 with the 2019 Feb security patches. Is there a free way to unlock bootloader?

Question How to flash Android 12 onto Asus Zenfone 8 and relock bootloader.

I'd appreciate it someone could provide instructions for a numpty, in a manner that the numpty (myself) can understand.
I unlocked the Bootloader on my Asus Zenfone 8 with a view to flash the stable version of Android 12.
My mistake was not having enough skill to 1. Flash Android 12 and 2 relock the Bootloader. I unlocked the Bootloader by using the official method from the Asus site.
Oh yes, I also retrospectively realised that I lost the ability to use Google Pay and Netflix. Oh, and I may not gain any OTA updates as well.
I've read and re-read countless articles and tried to follow many "how to's" but not being successful ... to me, it seems I'm missing a common sense step that everyone knows so well, that they feel doesn't need to be included in the how to's.
So I'm seeking a fool proof step by step guide for numpties (me) or someone who could step me through it
via DM.
I'm pretty much at the point to pay someone to assist me and sort out my Zenfone with Android 12 and a relocked bootloader.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Follow the steps to revert back to Android 11 at the bottom of the page. This does not require an open bootloader https://www.asus.com/Content/Android-12-Beta/
You will then be able to place the latest update firmware on the phone with a computer. From that it will detect the update files and start the procedure.

Hi Adaoh,
Thank you for the suggestion, but I have another query, before I proceed.
The link provided refers to the Android 11 version WW-30.11.51.115 but the stable version Android 12 version WW-31.1004.0404.81 states on the Asus website that it will only update to this version from Android 11 version WW-30.12.112.72
The Android 12 version referred to in the link provided is WW-31.0803.0403.54 a beta version which is older than the stable Android 12 mentioned above.
Are you aware of a Android 11 version WW-30.12.112.72 image file that can be utilised? I've not found one.
And my bootloader is already unlocked (referring to your comment that this does not require an open bootloader) so I would be seeking step by step instructions how to relock.
I'm keen to update to the Stable Android 12 version as I've read I may not receive any OTA updates, and so in my mind, a stable newer version of Android 12 is superior to an older beta version of Android 12.
Thoughts please?
Thanks for your input.

Hi, I do not think that there is a script provided like in the Back to Android11 link I gave you. I have used this method to recover my phone from a boot loop, so I think that the OS version does not matter but I am not sure, it is not impossible that it would brick the phone...
if you are still on A11, I did this script when I was on the latest Android 11 build and it reverted me to the old one in the script. So in my opinion it will be fine for whatever the condition of your phone are.
After this script, since you will not have OTA updates because your phone is blacklisted from Asus' servers, you will need to flash the last Android11 (from my understanding) and then once that's done flash a12.
Flashing updates is very simple, just do the last steps I gave in the original post

Updating from an update file​Ok, so to update your phone when you can't receive OTAs:
Download the version that you need from the Asus Zenfone 8 Support page
Plug in your phone to your computer, make sure the computer is trusted and that you can transfer files from the PC to the phone.
Move the zip file of the update in the base directory of the phone (The same directory as Alarms, Downloads, etc).
Wait for the transfer to finish, then you can unplug your phone if you want.
Reboot the phone
After the reboot, the phone will take a few seconds/minutes and will notify you that an update file was found, select the option to update the phone
It will then extract the update and install it all by itself, the normal update procedure starts from there
Flashing the Stock ROM (Android 11)​Note: doing this will remove any data on your phone, back it up if it is important to you​This also works if your phone is stuck in a bootloop or other problems of the sort​If your question was about the flashing of Android 11 from the Android12 page with the older version, the instructions on the page at the bottom should be enough, but I can try to make them clearer.
Turn off the phone
When the phone is off, press and hold the Volume Up key and the Power button until a screen pops up.
If the phone boots to Android, shut it back off, but this time try lifting the Power button before the Volume Up key, because the power button is like an Enter key, it will take it as if you clicked "yes, continue to android".
Plug the phone in your computer
Decompress the zip file on your computer
Execute the script file that is made for your computer
Windows: update_image.bat
Ubuntu: update_image.sh
MacOS: update_image_for_mac.sh
Wait for the process to finish, it'll take a while. You'll know it is done when the window that openned when you executed one of the script files says something along the lines of "Flashing done, press Enter to reboot"
I hope this helps!

Hi $cronos_,
I got the Zenfone 8 into recovery mode and connected to the PC and initiated a Windows Powershell and typed the following to confirm the PC could find the Zenfone 8.
PS C:\Users\roma_\OneDrive\Desktop\platform-tools> fastboot devices
M4AIB7626606MH7 fastboot
So it found the Zenfone 8
When I tried to Lock the Bootloader I got the following:
PS C:\Users\roma_\OneDrive\Desktop\platform-tools> fastboot oem lock
...
FAILED (remote: Command not supported in default implementation)
finished. total time: 0.005s
And tried your suggested command:
PS C:\Users\roma_\OneDrive\Desktop\platform-tools> fastboot flashing lock
...
FAILED (remote: Unrecognized command flashing lock)
finished. total time: 0.005s
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong please?

Hi,
Sorry I forgot to mention that I had followed the steps on the official Asus website to revert back to android 11 before I had run the command, as I wanted Google pay back.
fastboot oem asus-csc_lk
I hadn't tried to relock bootloader with Android 12 installed.
I did see in somewhere on line that the device requires factory reset after command is used. Also you could try some of these codes from following link.
hope you get it sorted.

Relock the Bootloader?
I know asking this question at a very early point would be very foolish, I tried searching various places for the answer but didn't, can anyone from previous experience or with answer tell me how can the Bootloader be locked again? Thanks in...

Hi Craig
That is a good point you raise ..... and believe where I may have stuffed up was not flashing the device back down to Android 11 (currently it has the Stable Android 12). I am presuming this step would wipe the Official Asus Unlock Device App which was downloaded originally, which of course unlocked the bootloader?
Steps taken today:
1. Downloaded the Zipped Android 11 Image and unzipped on the PC.c
2. Put the Zenfone 8 into Fastboot Mode and opened up CMD powershell to confirm it was in Fastboot mode
PS C:\Users\roma_\OneDrive\Desktop\WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release\WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release_for_google> fastboot devices

3. In the Unzipped Android 11 image found the windows update_image (I checked properties to confirm this was the Windows Batch File (.bat)
4. Right clicked, Run as Administrator.
5. I got this ....
fastboot cmd : fastboot
The script can't be used in this devices,hwid=,project=project FAILED (remote
Press any key to continue . . .
I am so missing something here, no doubt something really simple, but something really frustrating lol.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi,
I had done exactly as you have described.
Downloaded zip android 11
Unzipped and just double clicked on bat file whilst phone in fastboot.
Afterwards ran that command after rebooting phone back into fastboot.
Im sorry I can't be of anymore help I can't see why yours is not working the same.

Hi Craig,
Thank you and good to know I was following the directions.
Got me stumped, but I'll keep at it.
The only thing I am curious about is the unzipped file is in the desktop of my laptop (easy to find) but the desktop is set to back up to OneDrive .....I wondered if that could cause a problem (outside the limits of my ability)?
Thanks again for your input.

I have found an easy way to unlock the bootloader of our Huawei Nova 2 Plus. No need to use Testpoint or pay for software to unlock. it is an Python Script which would brute force the code through the IMEI number you have entered
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS CONNECTED TO ADB OR THIS TOOL WILL NOT WORK AS IT WILL RESTART INTO FASTBOOT AND TRY ALL THE CODES IT GENERATED!!!!!!!.
THIS TOOL WORKS FOR Linux and Windows. the guide is for windows but the script would work for linux completely fine.
REQUIREMENTS
Download The Tool from the thread
Install Python From Microsoft Store Or The Python Website
Run Powershell as Admin
Run the Command:- python unlock.py
Enter Your IMEI Number
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED TO ADB!!!!!
Wait for the code to be found
If your phone reboot into EMUI reboot back into bootloader mode and the tool will start the bootloader unlocking process
The Phone May Reboot Several Times.
If you get an warning about unlocking the bootloader you have succeeded to unlock the bootloader
Special Thanks To KASHIFALIKHAN For the tool . the download will be down below​

Hello,
I have a chinese Honor 9x (bought from alieExpress). I currently have the HarmonyOS installed that doesn't allow me to run any google-apps, so I'm trying to unlock the bootloader. Out of desperation I tried to use this program to try bruteforce the unlock code. However as I start running it (USB debug enabled and all in options), after the first reboot it arrives in fastboot mode (as I believe should be expected), but then it gives the error that no devices have been found, and therefore remains hanging at 10% / first code tried.
I have a feeling that somehow after the reboot the usb debugging/OEM mode is not on anymore and therefore the python program doesn't identify the phone. I feel this has to do with the setting "enable OEM mode" not being available in any of the settings in my phone (probably a little chinese easter egg to make all this more difficult?). I don't really know how to tackle this issue tho, any advice is appreciated.

Have you installed Hisuite drivers? And check device manager when you boot into fastboot if it shows Android bootloader interface then you're good to go if not then try installing Hisuite drivers

Since you could enter the bootloader when you first trying, I'm guess it might be the Harmony OS. You can try use Hisuite to roll back your HarmonyOS to EMUI, then try to unlock the bootloader. Most of modified Android OS removed the OEM mode to make you have a hard time on unlock bootloader. These will be really easy if you use some phones like Google's Pixel.
I have an old Huawei Nova 3i and it's updated into the Harmony OS, which is not what I want, I'd like to have a more cleaner OS that not with so much preinstalled apps. Then I roll back to EMUI as the first step to install other ROM, and that script it's working now. It's still trying get the password so I can't say it worked or some thing else.
And alter is that, if you just want install some google-apps, you may just roll back to EMUI, it should worked fine. And I'm not really suggest you have any phone from Huawei now since they really push their Harmony OS as a thing (at least, in China) and not really friendly towards people not in China (since lots of popular apps' depended G-apps). I'm annoyed even I'm Chinese though.
