I updated to beta Nougat using a non-official-beta method and am somehow stuck with NRD90M test keys as my build number. The rom works ok for the most part, the only thing which doesn't seem to work properly is Themes.
Would now like to know what the appropriate process is to go to the new and official stock Nougat for EVA-L19. Thanks community!
So was I and I posted about it here and got the right advice to roll back:
forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/nougat-update-borked-p9-2-imeis-t3534530#post70475746
thank you zemblance! so it would appear that i would have to rollback to stock then only update to official nougat using the built-in updater huh?
Which recovery did u use ? I got that same problem when I flashed with 3.0.0.0 instead of 3.0.2.0

not sure which TWRP i used but its fixed now. i did the rollback to lollipop. now on B190 but now Themes is being wonky and I have no magazine unlock. :/
Flash 136 again, there should be two folders hw and dt that need to be in the dload folder too.
If they aren't there you could try flashing the l09 136 first then the l19 one straight after.

So I managed to get myself into this bind as well back in January, but I just didn't have the stamina to fight it and I've been running that crap ever since. Now I thought it time to take care of it.
This is the scenario. I got an unlocked EVA-L09 with TWRP 3.0.2.0 running build NRD90M test-keys and I want to "fix it" and update it to the latest version.
What do I need to do and in what order. Like, do I need to unroot/restore the Huawei bootloader, do I need to rollback to Android 6 before starting over, etc..?
And I can as well ask if the Huawei builds are preferable or perhaps there's some other ROM/mod out there worth using instead? I was on CM for years before I got the P9, though such a ROM is of course unlikely to ever be made for the P9, maybe there's a good mod..?

You need to download and flash the appropriate hw data update zip for the ROM that you installed.
And if you check out this forum you will see there is both Lineage OS (aka CM) and CM13 ROMs for the P9 :good:
Peace.

Eh, yeah, that I know, but I'm not going to try to figure this out myself again as last time I did, I spent two days trying to get my phone to boot at all - and that's a first since I started messing with ROM's back in the HTC Hero days.
And I thought the undocumented SoC made "real" custom ROM's on P9 impossible - or did Huawei release the doc's?

Ok, so get the 2 files for the ROM you want, and flash update zip then hw data update zip next.
It worked in either TWRP or dload method for me. Of course, for dload method you need to unzip and flash each zip in turn, or TWRP can flash one after the other. Flashing will relock your bootloader...
Well, if you note my post count and alike, I'm not really a newbie here, I got 10 years experience messing about with custom Android ROM's and about the same experience of general Linux experience on top of that, so when I don't wanna do this without some trustworthy information on the workflow, etc, you should get there's good reason. So posting replies like -Oh, just flash something, it'll work out!, that looks a lot to me you just having been really lucky not getting into the situation I did.
So I will repost the question I posed and hopefully someone with that know how will reply.

Just to clarify....
I had an unlocked EVA-L09 with TWRP, running build NRD90M test-keys, and I wanted to fix it....
So, I downloaded update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip and flashed them one after the other using dload method. It worked. That was my workflow.
Just trying to help out, don't get shirty about it....or you can wait for someone who's been on the forum longer than me, or who has a higher post count than me. Btw, I've received help before from folks with very low post count and I know it's no indication or predictor of noob-ness.
Peace out...
*I* did the exact same thing and then spent the following 30 hours trying to get it to even boot.
And I really didn't want to be rude, but if I got that kinda post number, I'm not likely to ask for help with something like this unless I really needed it. As I said, I have a lot of experience of this stuff and I still messed up immensely trying this the first time, so I'm not even going to try before I have someone who really knows what *NOT* to do give me some hints on how to avoid getting into the same spot - because I'm not doing another 30h trying to save this phone if I mess up again, I'll just smash it and buy something else, like a used Nokia 3310, because it's just not worth the stress.
OK so I finally got my dev unlock after one week. I immediately installed TWRP and was in awe as I did my first TWRP 64 bit backup and watch in amazment as I backed up everything. Having a global version is obviously a big mistake if I want to use roms though as I tried XOSP, and Pixel PI and had nothing but errors. I then tried to use the Chinese TWRP version as advised by someone and reflash the rom. This amounted in a big mistake as everytime as it would only reboot to TWRP.
Next I noticed that all files in the File Manager were garbled (encrypted?) so I started panicing and trying different TWRP's and wipes as per different instructions. In the end my stupid ass is stuck with fastboot lock out; no recovery and now I can't even flash recovery from fastboot ?!?
Next : I tried MIflash wont take the latest global rom files extracted to folder (missing flash all .bat) nor Mimanger wants me to log in. Nor latest Miflash.
Have I softbricked ? I feel really dumb right now. Though to be fair to me, the forums are really convelioted with many half way attempts and 3 different varients with people experimenting swapping this for that. I just wanted to get this phone to have the XDA full experience I have had for years and now I think I really messed up ...
HELPP !!!! If you are able to thanks ..
used cepheus_global_images_9.6.27_20190627.0000.00_9.0_global ; this worked... ran the .bat file : Old MiFlash doesn't work, newer ones have windows library stop errors (Java, .net missing ...probably ? ) None of the tools out seemed to work and downloads I assume were only updates (but there wasn't clear indication of this. It wasn't until I found that particular build that I could find the flash_all.bat in root. I guess that is the best option despite all these pretty tools..
Hey all, so yesterday i got my phone stuck in a "boot loop". I was trying to install TWRP and magisk to root my phone, after 2 hours of constantly reinstalling TWRP i finally got it to work. Every time my phone would end up just being on a black screen not being able to get to the TWRP menu but i could still access fastboot, i fixed it by "installing" orangefox TWRP, it never actually installed it but i got back into my phone at least, however now thats not working, and im stuck here only being able to get into fast boot. I followed this tutorial - https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/guide-redmi-k20-pro-unlock-root-t3974127. When i eventually did get it to install TWRP its because i used the All in one tool. Im currently stuck in the loop again, all i did was follow a youtube video on overclocking my display to 81hz, so i was in TWRP, made a backup of a file, flashed the 81hz.img and now i cant get into twrp or my phone.....How do i fix this?
Im currently flashing a stock rom with MiFlash, taking a few minutes but this is the last thing i can think of to fix this, no im not using the flash and lock method.
Edit: So i decided to use the All in one tool to flash the rom instead, i can now get into TWRP but the phone still by default boots to Fastboot, it wont actually go into the phone? What do i do?
Edit 2: Okay so that fixed it, now to reinstall TWRP with the all in one tool and reroot my phone.........
Edit 3: Okay so new issue, everything is all good TWRP is installed phone is rooted, but im trying to update to the latest MIUI 10 version (on MIUI 9 atm) and i can't install it? It downloads fine but it wont install? Do i have to flash the update file since it wont update through the updater?

A bit of advice.
If you don't know what your doing, don't follow random YouTube videos.
There are some very good videos and some very bad videos. If you don't know what you're doing, you won't know the difference between a good video and a bad one
Until you're comfortable with flashing mods, etc. stick to advice given here. It might not be instant, but you'll get good advice (if it's not good advice then someone else will point that out).
When asking for help give us more info.
What phone do you have?
What ROM was on the phone before first trying to install TWRP?
What version of TWRP have you been trying to install?
Why did you change from using Mi Flash Tool to the all in one tool?
Did you wait for the Mi Flash Tool to finish but it didn't work, or did you get bored of waiting for it to complete and cancelled it?
I appreciate this is a bit late now and not necessary as you've eventually sorted it yourself, but giving the info I've pointed out, at the time, may have actually got you some useful replies before you actually got there yourself.

I have a rough idea on what im doing i've done all this stuff before loads, but xiaomi just seems to be different idk. Considering this is the k20/k20pro section i assumed its obvious thats what i was using.......Everything is sorted like i said but i cant get MIUI to update, it downloads, i hit reboot and it boots me to TWRP instead of installing the update.......i've come to really like the MIUI without the app drawer but now i have an app drawer as im on Android 9, I flashed the lastest rom but before flashing i didnt have an app drawer and was on the latest build so no idea whats going on there......guess i just have to live with this now?

What's not obvious is whether you have a Chinese or Indian K20 Pro, or a global or European 9T Pro. Also whether you're trying to install the version of MIUI that is correct for the phone, or if you're flashing from a different region. As you say Xiaomi does things a bit different, so we're seeing things in these forums that what works on one version of the phone doesn't quite work on another.

well heres the weird thing, i bought the EU version of the phone, which i know is supposed to be the 9t pro, but not only did the site call it the K20 pro, but in the settings its model number is also the K20 pro. I got everything working fine.
Hi everyone,
I had updated my Galaxy Note 9 with March 2020 update and I am one among many poor souls who are suffering from display discoloration, horizontal lines during low brightness and over heating.
- I have tried all possible methods as suggested by Samsung team in their US community page, tried factory reset multiple times, nothing worked. Took screenshots of the screen and shared it to other to check if the problem is with display, but the screenshots were just fine, no colour distortion or verticle lines. So i am of the opinion that, its basically software glitch in March update.
So, I have some following specific queries. I tried looking for these queries in the forum but did not find any, so, have collated all my queries below:
- My current Bootloader version is 5. Is there any process by which i can downgrade my Bootloader from 5 to 4? I would like to go back to January update.
- If I root my phone and install custom rom (latest version of Linage OS. You guys can suggest a good OS, if you have tried one), will the display problem be solved?
- After installing custom rom as mentioned above, can I go back and install stock firmware with Bootloader version 4?
As you can see, I am just trying to find a solution to come out of display problem. Any other suggestions or any tried and tested solutions are welcome.
Thanks everyone in advance

I am facing same issue ...display distortion from 20% to 80% ..after that display looks fine.
I tried to downgrade to pie ..still no success...it has same issue...
I also believe that its software issue or some connection issue
Sue samsung for trying to force user to change screen. Samsung's screen is so expensive. Apple was fined for throttling the iphones.
I have same issue on my N9600... :'(
What is causing the distortion? Sofware bug? Can shot a picture showing the issue?

Ita all over the internet. Just Google Samsung galaxy note 9 display discoloration.
I don't know if this will solve your problem but you would be able to flash a Android 9 ROM on a Android 10 bootloader. If you're like me you hate Android 10. What you do is you flash Android 9 bootloader made for twrp flash the Android 9 rom of your choice. Than flash the Android 10 bootloader that you want via Odin, than fastly reflash twrp for Android 10
For me it works but I kind of jerry-rigged it to work. I regret every day updating to Android 10 but since I'm able to still run Android 9 on an Android 10 bootloader, I'm okay with that.
Hope this kind of help you.

only way is to trip knox by rooting and then flashing an android 9 rom. as you know once it has been tripped you will instantly lose access to samsung pay, secure folders etc. however on the plus side you have the choice of root or non root.
Hi guys,
Me and my mum are experiencing a similar situation.... I'm trying to downgrade my galaxy Note8 boot-loader, everything was working till I press the button to upgrade. Now I cant use any memory card all i see is 'the Sandisk card is not supported' and for my mum's Note 9 when she activates the biometric sensor the phone restarts each 15 - 30 mins. I always bought Samsung but now I'm considering to don't do it anymore...

Hi, ok so assuming we don't care about tripping knox, rooting and flash.. still, how would this be done?
I'm on a SM-N9600 atm, with latest Android 10, rooted and TWRP installed. Where do I find a custom Android 9 Rom (compatible with my model) that I can flash via TWRP?
Thanks in advance

All you do is just flash the android 9 rom. Downgrading the bootloader makes no difference if you have already unlocked it. The whole point of it is for people who are on later bootloaders and still have knox and want to go to android 9 which is not possible without the trip.

Hi @A|ex , thanks for your answer. I still don't know where I can find a custom Android 9 rom, compatible with Note 9 snapdragon (SM-N9600) that I could flash via TWRP... (Assuming it's impossible to flash stock Android 9 via Odin even if my phone is currently already rooted on latest Android 10 (bootloader == 5).
Here on XDA there are some ROMs for the Exynos model but nothing except the 'WETA' rom for Snapdragon model, which is not a full rom anyway from what I understand.
If you could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated: where can I find a custom Android 9 rom, flashable via TWRP, compatible with a rooted SM-N9600 (currently on latest Android 10, with a BL==5, unlocked)?
Thanks again for any help!!
Hey guys,
So, I've got a Redmi Note 9, not that I'm not happy with the stock firmware but the reason I got this phone was so I could play around a bit with other ROMs (had a replacement iPhone X and was just bored with it).
So, I'm not exactly new in Android world, all my previous phones were HTC, Samsung, Nexus, and all rooted and running custom roms.
Just so I don't feck up the process, can someone guide me to the process? I'm guessing I need to root it first, then install the custom recovery and go on from there?
Any specific advice ?
Thank you so much in advance.
Just flash the pathed vbmeta.img together the magisk patched boot.img and your device will be rooted.
I assume it's fine that in on miui 12 official & stable ?
Everything is working perfectly on miui 12 android 10 and miui 12 android 11.
Thanks, I'm going to start digging tomorrow.
