AS my comes from Brazil, i saw that fastboot-ghost_retbr-user-4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-LCX-35-36-release-keys-cid12-Brasil-BR.tar.gz is avaliable. But my question is: how can i flash this kinda if files since they arent RSD lite type and are fastboot ones? Do i need unlocked bootloader?

Actually, they are RSD lite files. Unpack the archive into some dir and feed the only xml file to RSD lite.

No, you do not need to unlock anything.
Just untar that in a folder (use 7zip, first time you will end up with a *.tar file. Use 7zip again, and you'll see all the files inside that), make sure you have latest USB drivers, reboot into bootloader, connect your phone to the PC and double click at "flashall.bat".
BTW, I'm assuming you are running windows. If not, there is a file named "flashall.sh", use it instead.
I just did that and my phone wasn't rooted, everything went right. I don't know how to proceed if your phone is already rooted.
Now I'm testing if i can root the phone. I'll let you know.
Hey dliberalesso!
Thanks for your kinda help and atention!
My phone isnt rooted and unlocked so i guess your suggestion fall in the way to mine.
Your steps are just fine,update mine now and everything normal,the update process is faster cause it only update the system.img
Thanks again!

Hey guys,
My phone is unlocked and running CWM, what do I need to do to flash this? Can I install direct from within CWM, or use the flashall.bat? Will it reset to factory or just do an update, keeping my data?

These all OEM firmware, replaces recovery with stock recovery and sets your phone back to original factory settings, all that will remain is the bootloader will remain unlocked. These firmware files are meant to be flashed with rsd lite and should only be used if you soft brick your device or screw up so bad you have no alternative

First of all, what is balong bug?
Balong Bug is when you update to a newer firmware that was not meant for your country, your phone doesn't recognize the correct version of your software(instead of correct version it will show balongc53b311) and you can't do ota update.
So in order to get rid of balong bug, when you update your software to a newer version, in the archive you've downloaded there are 2 folders: one contains the firmware update and one folder named custom or vendor which contains update.app for balong bug.
So all you have to do is to install via local update the update.app from vendor/custom folder.
I've tried to find for as many as possibile versions i could find.
I've made an archive of all vendor folders. Download from here
Here is the list from archive:
B049
B120
B130
B132
B133
B171
B551
Now, in order to get local update back, you'll need to have unlocked bootloader and twrp installed because you'll need to flash an archive.
First, make sure you have installed the correct drivers, then enable usb debugging from developer options(tap 7 times on build number to unlock developer)
To unlock bootloader you'll need to register on huawei then enter your details here.
If you have dual sim,enter your main imei;
After you've done all this you'll have a 10 digit code number, save it.
Now download minimal adb fastboot from here and install it.
Plug the phone into pc, open cmd window in minimal folder(shift + right click -> open new command here), type:
Code:
adb devices
and in return it will show something like
Code:
123213asdsa231 device
. After this type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. Now you are in fastboot and here you'll unlock your bootloader by tiping this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock yourcode
. If you done all this, now it will show on the bottom Phone Unlocked.
Now you need TWRP from here.
Flash it via fastboot with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery image_name.img
.
Enter twrp, flash this archive.
Now you've got back your local update!.
In order to get back stock recovery, donwload your current firmware version, use huawei extractor to extract recovery.img from update.app and flash it via fastboot with the same command used to flash twrp.
If you have questions, ask here.
Please add the newer B564 to the patch
I'm sorry, but i can't find for b564 ...
hey i tried updating locally on b560, but am stuck at 19% for like half an hour...
Bootloader is now unlocked, fast boot works as i can boot to bootloader but i cant push twrp for some reason.
Edit: fixed, wasn't looking for the correct file to put twrp into.
So i flashed B550 i think which doesn't have Vendor file, how can i get to B551 or one that does, will i need to downgrade first.

My South African ALE-L02 is currently running Android 6.0 C636B530, with the Balong error after the firmware upgrade.. Would I be able to simply flash the Vendor (Custom) file, or do I need to follow other steps first?

For Complete Root howto please read this post
==============================================================
Quick root howto for Realme X2
What is written below is for both CN and EU versions, but the files attached are for CN only!
Please pay attention that files attached are version-specific
Credits: Magisk (@topjohnwu), TWRP for Realme X2 (@mauronofrio)
Unlock the bootloader with a help of apk file
Install Magisk manager apk to your stock system
Enter fastboot mode and perform there:
fastboot flash --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
EDIT/NOTE
In order to have Magisk out of Core Only Mode:
boot into TWRP, mount SYSTEM in RW mode and from the computer perform
Code:
adb shell "cat /system/build_19771.prop >> /system/build.prop"
adb reboot
For EU version (RMX1993) you should replace 19771 with 19672 in the filename.
EDIT 2
I attach here a file with A.13 version boot image patched for magisk. Of course, you should change the file name in the howto above, the line with fastboot flash boot ...
In the next few days I hope to provide more detailed Root howto, thus there will be no dependency on any files from here for the next version releases.
EDIT 3
Here comes the next version A.14. Please find the corresponding file attached. vbmeta.img stays identical for all versions.
Thanku

Excellent, I have already tried the root without installing the twrp. then waiting for better times I restored stock locking up the bootloader. Here on the forum regarding the root guides, there are two and there is some confusion for a neophyte who wants to try his hand at mod. It would need only one clear and complete, perhaps integrating it with the procedure for restoring stock if one wanted to go back. For now I'm working like crazy, for example tonight night shift. but as soon as I have some time I will try to make a draft.
Unlocking guide with:
links and steps to follow for using the tool, (deep start test)
commands for dump recovery stock, (dd if)
links to files and commands for the flash of vbmeta and magisk,
link to the file and commands for the TWRP flash.
Guide to stock recovery with:
links and commands for the recovery stock flash,
link to the official rom to flash with the recovery stock,
Command to lock the bootloader,
links and steps for using the tool, (exit from the deep test)
in the end they would put the XDA threads links to any custom roms, for example starting from this one.

Thank you for good advice! I am a hobbyist, not a professional. I have numerous obligations too. But I shall do my best.
I tried the deeptest apk, and when I enter start the in-depth test, the phone reboots, enters the fastboot mode for 1 second and the reboots again normally. What's the issue here?

Evidently, you did not succeed with entering fastboot. Check if OEM unlock is enabled in Developer Settings and try again with DeepTesting app

You don't need root, but the bootloader will need to be unlocked.
Unlocking the bootloader may cause certain apps like Banking Apps to stop working.
Because some apps check for things like that.
If you downgrade the firmware, do not allow OTA updates to install,
Your device will not update correctly. and may brick.

Once the bootloader is unlocked, find your
Software Channel, it will be like, Retail, RetUS, Verizon, MetroPCS...
You can find your firmware here
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors.lolinet.com
download. and Unzip it
Check if your device uses fastbootd
Flash option 1
Find the flashfile.xml in the firmware folder
and use the online flashfile converter to get the flash commands
add the fastboot reboot fastboot commands if you have a fasbootd device.
Flash Option 2
Install LMSA
use the rescue option to download the current firmware for your device
move the LMSA firmware to a different folder
rename the Android 10 firmware folder to the same name as LMSA firmware.
Move that folder to the LMSA download folder
Use the rescue option to flash renamed firmware.
There is no guarantee that either method will work, but it should.
I do not recommend relocking moto bootloaders, Even if you follow the directions for relocking
It can still go wrong, and you can end up with a non-working device.

Toggle off "install updates" option in Dev Options

but this process seems so tedious for a novice like me..i am afraid of bricking my phone..although I have downloaded retin 8.0 Rom from lolinet source but I am not confident and may end up with a unusable device..

yes u r absolutely right...actually i am a music lover and listen music a lot all day...after pie update the excellent audio quality (on oreo) has gone to hell and i am barely able to listen even the ringtone...otherwise i have no issues with pie...the only thing i want from my device is that excellent audio output back...
i uninstalled the pie dolby using adb and tried almost 40 apks from different sources..but no improvement.. that's why i thought it is the last resort to downgrade..
I have successfully (I think!) downgraded from the last Pie update to OPSS27.104-92-4, using RSD Lite 6.2.4 with these stipulations:
1. After unzipping the lolinet download I opened flashfile.xml with Notepad++ and deleted the lines for flashing gpt.bin and bootloader.img. See "More info" below. I then ran flashfile.xml as normal with RSD Lite.
2. Also following advice elsewhere, instead of flashing Oreo versions of adspso.bin and NON-HLOS.bin, I flashed the PIE versions instead.
(Actually I forgot about flashing the Pie version of NON-HLOS.bin at first, and my IMEI info showed as unknown. So after realizing this I rebooted to bootloader and manually flashed that file.)
Phone booted up the first time with no problems.

Ah. I'm still "stuck" on Win 7 (very much by choice).
Hi guys,
I'm sorry in advance if this was addressed already. I just bought an unlocked S20 FE (G781U1) online because I wanted it to be my gaming device. I saw videos and xda threads online about rooting and unlocking the bootloader. I am sure I followed all the steps correctly when installing ADB and fastboot. However right at the steps where I type "fastboot oem unlock", it keeps failing. My device can be detected when i type both adb devices and fastboot devices so I was sure I am following the right steps. I even tried typing the "fastboot flashing unlock" and that also came up as a command failed. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to install new fastboot/adb drivers?
Here is a screen shot from my device information.
Also, in the off chance that this is not possible to unlock the bootloader or root, is there a way to optimize the phone's gaming performance such as overclocking cpu/gpu? I have only debloated the samsung softwares.
Thanks in advance everyone!
Samsung phones don't natively support fastboot in this way for unlocking (or anything else). also worse still you have a U1 model i.e. a US model which sadly don't have unlockable bootloaders by normal means.
if it's on very early firmware it's possible that a paid service may be able to unlock it for you. having looked at your screenshot this doesn't apply here.

Thanks for the reply.
Man, I was hoping I was just doing something wrong instead.
So this phone is pretty much impossible to be rooted at this current time? I was looking on the xda threads on kingoroot but it seems like everyone is saying they are pretty shady. I was thinking if I could use that tool, I could root it and overclock my phone then reverse everything (kingoroot stuff) and hope the overclock would stay?
