Hi all,
Ive been a fair while out of flashing ROMs since Note 4 Edge / HTC M7 and have today unlocked bootloader and rooted my P9.
It is currently Australian Vodafone release EVA-L09CC346B160 (Android 6) but I want Nougat.
There is no local carrier updates available but I understand that there is Android 7 available in Australia on 'international' branded handsets.
How can I identify what this firmware is for international Nougat? Can some one assist me. Or can someone advise what would be a suitable equivalent firmware that I can use in place of.
I am unsure how this device goes in flashing ROMs of higher or lower android versions on the current firmware and dont really want to brick it.
Thanks for any tips / suggestions
Umm, just found a thread mentioning L09C636B361 - will check this out, but is there any more recent? And still how does fl;ashing other premade ROMs on 7 go on top of the current Android 6 firmware go?.. Ta

using this guide you can update to the latest nougat release
Thank yuo Xtcislove
I have completed the steps suggested and now have Nougat. Though it is a newer version being .383 which was updated via OTA to .378 and then zip to .383.
Thank you for the help
I'm trying to flash firmware on my P9, now I have EVA-L09C40B181, but it stuck on 5% and HiSuite shows Recovery failed! I tried custom firmware, same problem. What can I do ?
Dfani511 - just follow the instructions in the thread provided by Xtcislove, it works but took me a long time.
I found the steps concerning the update to be added in dload was a little not clear, in the update zip that's downloaded, you need to open it until you get the dload folder, extract that and copy to the SD card.
Throughout my updating, o never ended up on the firmware you have
This N seems to be working fine, nicer looking.
I do have 1 issue, no matter what I do I can not get root to work. I'm on .383, can this one be rooted or not currently? If it can, how do I root .383? I have TWRP 3.1.0.3 as current recovery..
Or, is that ok to flash on my current P9 L09C432B383 ? from this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/root-pre-rooted-boot-img-p9-nougat-b378-t3574548
The stock and pre-rooted boot.img states its form .378 but would it be ok on .383?
I dont know how to get root on it currently...

This is what I did to root my Huawei P9 on Nougat L09C432B383:
Use the SuperSU-v.27.9-201612051815EMUI5.0.zip file flash via custom recovery and it should root your device no problem.

Hey xtcislove - is there a preferred version? 1, 2 or 3 do you recommend? Thanks mate

EDIT - Nevermind, Xtcislove, your the best man, appreciate your help with your guides etc. I went with option 1 and the handset is now rooted on Nougat. Thanks so much

3 is the version i preffer, you cant freeze apps with v1 but most things should work fine.
btw you can flash v3 over v1.
Ive flashed v3 over 1 and all appears good, root working fine. Thanks again.
Though I have noticed on both v1 and v3 that SuperSU binary needs to be updated, ob both v1 and v3. The phone fails to update both, states unsuccessful and to reboot, which also does not update the binary.
Only other thing I have done is to get BusyBox.
What can be done about the failing binary update? Will it be fine to leave as is, just getting rid of the prompt when it appears, or does it really need to have the update done sometime?
So, I have an Honor 5C (I’m in Europe, if that’s significant), I’ve been rooted for a while and today I wanted to install a custom ROM. After installing TWRP using the official app, (I tried it with fastboot, but no success) I downloaded the LineageOS 14.1 ROM and tried to install it. This failed, I got error 7 and started googling the cause. No success. Right now I’m just confused with all the different 5C models and apparently different EMUI versions. My questions:
1. How do I know what model I have? (NEM-L21, NEM-L22, NEM-L51 etc.)
2. What’s up with the EMUI versions? I know I had 4.1.2 and never got a notice saying I could update to 5.x, so how are people on those versions?
3. Same for the Android version, I was on marshmallow 6.0 but other people are on nougat?
4. I wiped everything and am unable to boot right now. What ROM must I download to boot again? And is it possible for this to be nougat, instead of marshmallow which I was previously on?
Thanks in advance, I’m very new to this scene and all the different models and versions are kind of overwhelming me
First of all, you shouldn't use the official twrp, because that once partially bricked my phone, and you should have used EliteTWRP for installing the roms, because it required you to back up before some partitions, that official twrp couldn't, also, to answer your first question, you find it out in your phone's settings app, in the About Phone section, but since you didnt look at that before you flashed and deleted everything, I don't know how to figure it out without the settings app, also diffirent region phones get diffirent updates, my dad's honor 6 never got an update out of 4.4.2, but some phones had access to newer versions(not by flashing custom roms), also you should download some dload things i dont remember how to do it, never done that myself, but for that I'm pretty sure you need to know if you're using NEM-L21, NEM-L22, NEM-L51 or something like that
Hi I have a Huawei P8 lite 2017. Although ive flashed a few motorolas with Adb/twrp ive been struggling with this.
Ive eventually got it restored using this guide. Which is fine but NFC reports that it cant be used.
Id like to either flash another patched Rom to it or Ideally ANdroid 9.0
Im familier with Adb and installing twrp etc. Just need a little guidance please.
Hello guys.
I found a Galaxy A6+ with no real Android installed on it, only some tests rom. After a few researches, I found out that a combination firmware was on it.
A bit more of a research later, I tried to flash the latest Android Pie firmware available with no success. Tried the same firmware from another source, same result. Not much luck with an Oreo firmware.
I then tried to install TWRP to the device, wich succeeded (on Odin at least) but couldn't be installed because of the bootloader protection of the phone.
It seems that the combination firmware installed is too recent for the official firmware and the phone thinks I'm trying to downgrade.
Is my theory correct ? Can't I just erase the current firmware and clean install a new official one ? It's been two days and I've no idea what to do next...
Thank you very much for your help !
Hello,
I have a Japanese Galaxy S10+ Snapdraon branded for au
CPU-z information: model SCV42_jp_kdi - CPU Qualcomm snapdragon SM8150 8 cores - GPU Adreno 640 - Architecture Kryo 485 - screen 1080x2280 - board msnile - Brand KDDI - model SCV42_jp_kdi
Model number in About phone is SCV42
Model number on box is SM-G975
Bootloader: SCV42KDU1CUD4
Build Number RP1A200720.012.SCV42KDU1CUD4
I have found a matching bootloader here (not sure if this bootloader is needed I have not tried to flash magisk without it) - after flashing the bootloader and patching the official firmware AP with magisk and reinstalling it I get a rooted phone.
The last official rom i could find is dated 2021-04-23.
There are some suspicious sites that claim to have newer firmware that cannot be downloaded without subscribing/paying and then getting taken for a ride throughout links that lead to dead ends.
My first question is can someone who knows this exact model tell me which is the latest official firmware for it? (if available kindly share a link to it)
Edited
The reason I would like the most recent official firmware is to run linux on dex. Currently linux on dex 1.0.51 (which i believe is the last release before it was discontinued - please correct me if I am wrong on this) says it will not run without the latest updates.

It turned out linux on dex only runs on devices with Android 9. So a downgrade is needed instead of an upgrade
Which brings me to my second question: is there a way to know if the hardware in my S10+ model is identical to the hardware on some equivalent USA model? The CPU/GPU are the same but is the rest of the hardware the same? Should the answer be yes would it be possible to flash my device with a more recent official firmware from some USA carrier?
On gsmarena only the following model numbers are listed: SM-G975F/DS (Global); SM-G975U (USA); SM-G975W, on sammmobile SCV42 does not exist. Since the box mentioned model as being SM-G975 I am wondering if there is some naming confusion and a way to figure out which letters to add to SM-G975 to find recent matching firmware or if my model is simply not widespread enough to have received the same attention other models did.
Is there a risk of causing irreversible damage (permanent brick) by trying to upload firmware for another model (most likely candidate SM-G975U)?
My last question is about TWRP, After downloading and flashing the latest S10+ snapdragon image pointed at by the TWRP app my device could not boot. Is there TWRP image compatible with my device?
Many thanks for reading so far and any hints/help provided

Simply installing magisk does not work you have to flash a "cracked rom" before (one that matches your current firmware) installing magisk. I used this one Cracked Rom for the latest available SCV42 firmware (the site requires a registration before allowing downloads).
btw thanks for the help, but i've succed to rooted my phone now using stock rom and magisk

sorry to dig an old thread, did you manage to install an international rom on it? currently trying to get rid of the bloated carrier rom.

On the contrary this thread is meant to attract people who want to solve the same issues. I did not try installing an international ROM (too big a task to regain all configurations and apps) , however my uninformed non expert current belief is that trying another country's ROM is not going to wreck the device. Worse case would be it will not work and official ROM will have to be reinstalled (potentially with a nand reset). I settled for using magisk debloater to hide/uninstall apps I did not want (branding on startup remains).
Here is my debloat list in case it helps: (for ROM SCV42KDU1CUD4)

currently am in SCV-42 s10+ au model android 12 ,i want to flash global rom to remove japan au bloatwares as am not in japan anymore. Is it possible?

Yes it is possible. I have the same model running android 11 rooted and unbloated. android 12 should be the same. I have found the rooted boot loader for my model here:
SCV42 U1 Android 12 ROOT (SCV42KDU1DVE4).tar | Halab Tech Support
support.halabtech.com
This is just to download a rooted firmware boot section
For the whole rooting guide you will need to find one on this forum. (the one i used installed magisk)
