I'm still on 19.3.17 China - Rooted - Unlocked
So now OTA have 11.0.4.0 stable.
The question is:
recovery OTA image using adb can earsed your phone data (apps,v.v) and make you lose Root/unlocked ?
With China Room, everything i'm changed in settings (Google Assistant, kaspersky battery lite,...) always reseted to default after i'm closed apps, with Global ROM, it fixed this problem right ?
Is there have anyway to keep apps,data,etc.. when i'm updating ROM to lastest 11.0.4 ?
THANK
rooted, updated directly with OTA... Rooted gone...
But when i'm opening Banking app, it still have warning about rooted phone @[email protected]
hello, a few days ago i got the update to android 10. i did it, and it fricked my phone up. battery lasts shorter, problems with camera, with apps, everything. my phone isn't rooted, unlocked, any of that, its stock, and i would love to downgrade it from MIUI 11.0.3.0 QUEMIXM to the previous version, miui 10 with android 9. can i do it with the built in option to choose an update package and install it without loosing files? thanks for help
Any reason why the OTA update wont show up or why I can't manually update choosing the file?
Can't verify update, or can't install stable ROM comes up
I'm trying to avoid flashing with PC, I don't want to install Windows to do it
European Global model, using in Canada
Currently on 12.0.5.0 (QFKEUXM) Android 10
Any help would be great.
Take it with a grain of salt but what I've heard is that they've pulled the OTA updates on a bunch of phones due to a What's App issue. Apparently I heard it's been months.
Hi!
Is there ANY android 12 rom for the p20 pro? Or at the very least a rom with updated security patches?
Kind of a shame that i might have to replace the device just because of an outdated OS, the phone still works good.
The hardware should be able to do it no problem, considering i have a spare ****ty moto g30 that is running it from factory.
No Android 12 but latest update on mine 10.0.0.201 (received about month ago) has security patches from February 2022.. so I see no security issue there.
EMUI 12 (based on Android 11) is i think now in beta stage for P20 Pro.. so should be arriving in a couple of months...Stable version of EMUI12 on P30 series is rolling out globally at the moment... P20 series should be next...

Yeah, that's why i was talking about security patches, last updated April 2019..
Will try after a full backup. Anything i should be aware of? Running root through a patched image (Magisk) and busybox
And thats the reason why you don't get updates. Root is guilty. You have to update it manually, but you should make a copy of bootloader img from android 9 because in emui 10 (android 10) they deleted the option to unlock/lock it. Btw how did you got the bootloader unlocking code?

Ah, should have known. Thanks for informing me though! Any idea how to do that? Will share the unlocked image if it's of any use for others.
I unlocked it about a month or two after the launch of the phone through Huawei. Received an unlock code via email.
unfortunately I bought my phone a moment after they removed the possibility of getting the code. Yeah sure it would have use for others who were so lucky and got the unlock code (they would not have to install emui 9 to get the boot.img). Unlucky I can't really help you, only with theory because i didn't ever even rooted a huawei phone. I only installed twrp, custom rom and rooted my huawei watch 2 and another (samsung) phone... Continuing: In theory you have to get somehow the image with the latest version and install/flash it and then flash the old bootloader from android 9 (probably with these command: "fastboot flash boot path/name_of_the_img.img")

Android 10 is available for P20 series since about 1.5 years (can't remember exactly), and you should be getting security updates approx every 3 months.
If you are stuck on Android 9.0 you may have to update using HiSuite.
Built in eRecovery may help too (turn phone off, hold volume up, connect to charger and keep holding volume up until you get white menu screen, there should be option there for system recovery, select and enter wifi password, phone will download latest version of system available and install it)

I found a tutorial, but it's from 2017 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-rooted-but-otherwise-on-stock-emui.3702156/
Interesting, however is there even a working TWRP for the p20 pro? In any case, I'm running stock recovery.
I've looked at the possibility of using the app "Flashfire", might have some use.
Like I said I have no idea. But I have good news about updates. I just got the emui 12 beta so June or July there should be stable verison for everyone.

Just tested this, both eRecovery and HiSuite says Android 9 is the latest. Probably have to wipe the phone first.
And it just became even stranger.
Reset to factory from settings: Only removed my lock screen.
Reset to factory from eRecovery: Nothing, just a reboot.
Tried to install Android 9 from eRecovery: just derooted my phone, otherwise everything is the same.
Managed to lowlevel wipe the phone through Find my device, but still not able to upgrade.

EMUI 12 for old phones (like P40 Pro, P30 Pro etc.) is based on Android 10. Probably, only the recently released phones are based on Android 11.
Hello,
I'm currently on 14.0.3.0.TKBEUXM on my Mi 11 5G. Device had been using a custom ROM/root in the past, but after facing some inconveniences I decided to go back to the "official" MIUI ROM. Also removed root. So, as far as I know, automatic updates are out of the question now.
Some months ago I manually upgraded into 14.0.3.0.TKBEUXM through "Settings > About Phone > MIUI Version > Choose update package"
Now that 14.0.5.0 EEA is out, I tried updating the same way but I'm getting the "Can't verify update: Can't flash this ROM" error.
I assumed that in order to update to 14.0.5.0, I needed to upgrade into 14.0.4.0 first, but I'm still getting the same error.
Also, I've seen that there's an incremental update file but I'm assuming that it can only be used to upgrade from 14.0.4.0 to 14.0.5.0 which I can't use since I'm still in 14.0.3.0. Am I downloading the wrong package?
So, what other options do I have?
I honestly just want to upgrade to the latest version in order to have the latest Android Security Updates. I recall there being Fastboot/Recovery methods to upgrade, but I wanted to ask you guys first since I am not sure if my data will be wiped using those methods.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
