Has anyone tried flashing 7.0 firmware for RetLA phones on a RetMX phone with everything working and accepting OTAs?
Why bother? Retmx and retla both have 7.0.

I have this weird issue:
Was in retMX firmware, but flashed OTA and stuff, so since I don't have a backup, I was trying to get it back to stock, and when flashing the boot.img it won't accept it, so I believe that the firmware was updated with the OTA and won't work with an older boot.img, so the only way to boot is flashing TurboKernel, and the phone boots and works fine; the problem is that that stock firmware needs the OTA that fixes the low volume issue, but it won't update cause the custom boot.img (TurboKernel).
So I have this theory that the Retla firmware since is newer might work well with the firmware that was installed by the OTA of retMX.
Sorry if i mislead something but English ain't my born language.

Hey!
I'm currently on 4.4.4 with a custom recovery and rooted. I got the official Motorola 5.1 update yesterday. I want to know whether i need to flash the stock recovery and unroot before updating? Do i need to do anything else? like updating to 5.02 before updating to 5.1, cause i didn't get the 5.02 update, only the 5.1.
Thanks!
You don't need a 5.02 update, that's why Motorola announced they were skipping 5.0.2 official and going to 5.1
The soak test was 5.0.2 but only works on Indian retail versions (xt1022) of moto e and should not be flashed on other variants.
I think I've read that you need to be unrooted with stock recovery.......
Please don't take my work for it, its here on XDA that's where I read it.
You are lucky to get 5.1, UK is not getting the update at the moment, but I have 5.1 on my moto e via cm12.1.

Hi, i've updated my moto e from 4.4.4 to 5.1 via fastboot (i've flashed the lollipop firmware), i would like to downgrade to stock 4.4.4, is it safe to flash the stock 4.4.4 firm or it will brick my phone? i've read a lot on the internet, but it isnt really clear.
thanks.
I flashed everything but gpt.bin and my flash went fine. Then again, I have an unlocked bootloader and its an XT1019. So, flashing everything but gpt.bin might work for you, but it might not.

I got KIW-L21 with Russian firmware. How can I install European version?
Arobase40 said:
Russian firmware IS an European firmware...
But you could also install the UK revert back firmware from @paulobrien since UK is still part of Europe (aka Brexit)...

It has a different "custom version" value. There's no OTA update to B140 available and the firmware I found here won't install.
Arobase40 said:
I was myself with a Russian firmware and I couldn't install B140 update, mostly due to the firmware you linked me to...
Most KIW-L21 customers encountered the same issue till the release of the UK Revert back Lollipop firmware and the B140 update passed straight through.
Now you're free to do as you want...

It doesn't work. Installation fails. I guess the reason is that the device has a different custom version of the firmware.
I saw a same thread but i am using KII-L22
what should i do first? i think i had a backup where i am still unrooted but already have TWRP.
my guess is that I should reflash to stock recovery first then update via OTA to marsh mallow then root and install TWRP again then flash CM13.
if my guess is correct then how do I revert from TWRP to stock recovery?

Grab the stock recovery of KII-L22 and flash it using fastboot. Same way you flashed TWRP.

Do you have a firmware online on Huawei website or in 5X file repository.
If yes, just use huawei update extractor to extract stock recovery.img from it.
That's it! Search for any KII-L22 stock firmware then extract the stock recovery from it.

will it work even if the stock rom is from MM not Lollipop? can't seem to find the Lollipop version.
if its compatible then this will make it easier since ill use the full stock rom after flashing the recovery

I suppose it will still work. Recoveries are seldom tweaked.

It's better to be safe than sorry
Just google huawei firmware finder by team MT, install and I am sure you can use it to search a lollipop firmware for your phone.
If you want to install MM directly then get MM firmware, extract recovery, flash it and use three button method to update.
You will lose all your data in this way.
i found what you were referring to sir adrian. i will give it a shot and give feedback. thanks everyone.

Yes. I am in B310 when I flashed CM13. B350 is fine. B360 is the one with bootloops.

I have a similar problem here: I have an unlocked and rooted KIW-L21C432 with Resurrection Remix installed and a backup (B140 firmware version) where I already have TWRP installed as the recovery but am not rooted yet. I want to go back to stock in order to be able ro get the OTA for MM and then install the most recent Resurrection Remix ROM.
adriansticoid said:

So, what would be the procedure for me?
Flash the (unrooted) B140 backup using TWRP.
Use fastboot to flash the correct stock recovery from the honor 5X file depot issueing:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
.
Upgrade to the most recent firmware version B340 via OTA update.
Flash most recent TWRP version using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
.
Root and flash CustomROM.
Is this correct? Is there any smarter way to achieve the official update to MM (like those full revert packages I read about)?
What if my backup was rooted already? Would this lead to any problems? I am not 100% sure whether I was maybe already rooted when I did the initial backup :/
Thanks and best regards

Yes that's correct. You need a clean, unrooted stock so you can update officially

How exaxtly can I tell? It was rooted when I was still on 5.1.1 (firmware version B140), so I'm not sure whether it's systemless root or not.
Then flash full B330:
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=90763&version=354362&siteCode=fr-h
Put the (uncompressed) DLOAD folder at the root of your SD Card.
Power up the phone with Vol up & vol down pressed, then release once you show the logo, it will automatically flash the rom.
Once done, you are on stock unrooted B330, then you can boot/flash TWRP, then finally flash CM13.
Hi all,
I want to downgrade from G965FXXUAETG3 to G965FXXS7DTB1 because this modem is not supported by chimeratool. Please let me know any possibility by any means.

Any suggestion related to patch cert?
I got a customer who wants to downgrade from Android 10 to 8. I know Samsung has anti-downgrade protection and you can't flash older firmware using Odin.
What about rooting the phone first though and flashing the Android 8 firmware using TWRP? Wouldn't that work?

My phone is already rooted and do you have any guide how can I flash complete firmware through twrp with bootloader. Actual problem is bootloader which can't initialize previous version of modem. I have downgraded modem but it does not pick IMEI.

You'd have to flash system, vendor and a kernel that can run Android 8. Just flashing the firmware straight up won't work

I don't need to downgrade bootloader, just need to flash the ROM which includes system, vendor and a working kernel.
I'm speaking strictly about running Android 8, not downgrading. So this method of downgrading to Oreo probably won't help you on your problem
Can we do it with firmware combination file or eng modem?

I guess we both having same issue. I upgraded to UAETG3 and the mobile signals were gone. IMEI status is 'NG' and it says emergency calls only. The binary of aforesaid update is higher and it won't let me downgrade. Have you found a solution?

Try to flash complete firmware from odin and if not then your efs is corrupted !
I think combination file might downgrade with re partition
Any information how to downgrade modem and bootloader?
