Is it ok to switch from KIW-L24 to KIW-L22 - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

I currently have Honor 5X KIW-L24. But I have gifted this to my father who lives in India. There are couple of issues with the phone which makes me think that I need to just do factory reset, but there is also one more issue.
Seems like he is not able to use Reliance Jio 4g network on his phone. So I wondered if this is because of differnet firmware - L24 (which the phone is currently on) versus L22 (which seems to be the one that Indian versions have). There was also recent firmware updates for L22 especially Indian version; while there is none for L24.
So I know that I can do the "Local Update" method by downloading L22 zip file. But I have couple of questions,
1. Is it even possible going from one firmware version to another?
2. Is it ok to switch to L22 from L24?
3. Should I be instead thinking of using some custom ROM (any recommendations if this is the case)?

Custom ROMs doesn't support volte as of now.
You can not flash the zip directly but you need to for complete debranding with oeminfo and custom.bin of L22.

That could be the reason why it won't work, and U don't that rebranding it will fix the issue

[ROM][STOCK] Moto X Pure/Style Chinese variant XT1570 5.1.1 LPH23.145-7_7

This is the UNMODIFIED STOCK ROM for the Chinese version of Moto X Pure/Style. Model Number XT1570.
The Chinese variant NEVER moved to Marshmallow. While this ROM is NOT the newest, it is one of later official ROM.
Since entire Google is censored by the Chinese government, this ROM does NOT come with ANY Google applications. Many of the similar function are replaced by (much inferior) Chinese equivalent.
Note that Chinese variant is different from other dual SIM variant in the following way:
1. LTE band is different. This is the only variant I am aware of which support both US/AT&T and China/China Unicom LTE band
2. Chinese variant support Baidu Navigation signal in addition to GPS and GLONASS
Additional hardware detail of Chinese variant is in my other post:

Notice that by default, the batch file WILL flash stock recovery files. be warned!
Is there any chance of flashing it into a XT1572 firmware and be able to use the other bands? I'm new at this and I'm not sure if is it possible

people in China tried and it was very messy. radio no longer worked property. I advice you against it.
I have flashed Lineage OS CM13. both sim card works. BUT I am not in China at the moment, and China uses a different frequency. So, I can't guarantee if it works or not.

Do it at your own risk.. there are possiblties that
1) 2nd SIM won't work
2)you will end up in bootloop
3)while flashing you might get pre valid fail errors
4) it might get installed but you will get lots of FCS
5) everything will be Chinese so you won't understand anything
Do it at your own risk..
Advice to take backup of your rom via twrp and then proceed (at your own risk)

Chinese version of x style is being sold in Iran due to sanctions of American manufacturer. our service center flashes xt1572 retasia ds 6.0.1 official ROM and it works fine in IRAN, Chinese network may vary. they also tried flashing retasia and retla DS 7.0 on xt1570 but sim won't work.
i'm gonna try it myself.

Hi, can you share the link for "OS CM13" for download for XT1570, i want to try it.
I am currently on 5.1.1 stock ROM, i need clarification on two things
1. My google maps only works when i try to find something but when i ask for assistance it looses GPS signals while i move. I had tried different location & networks but situation remains the same. So any similar issues or should i change to some other Navigation App. My location is Pakistan.
2. Battery timings with 4G LTE, i am getting approx 8-10 hours. Tried replacing it with new but same results.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Quick info for 1st timers
Before rooting, you need to unlock bootloader for any Huawei / Honor devices.
Once you got the code Download\Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Now connect your Huawei device to the PC with a USB cable. (Give it required permission)
Boot your Huawei device into bootloader mode using the following command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once your device is in bootloader mode, issue the following command to unlock bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock your-unlock-password
Use the Vollume Up/Down key to select yes and power key to confirm - bootloader is unlocked now and phone will reset.
TOOLS

AGS-L09 - Huawei MediaPad T3 10
Returned the HUAWEI MediaPad 8" T3 4G (Model KOB-L09, Android 7/) tablet now but gone crazy and bought a Brand New T3 10" from ebay (AGS-L09, Firmware AGS-L09C127B031 CUSTC127D002). This is on Vodafone UK Network but same issues as EE - no dialer. srsroot says it can be rooted but bit risky as I have never used that tool before, especially when I am unable to find any non Chinese FULL firmware yet. Any one tried this tool before?
I have a feeling that all the UK network remove the dialer (most likely using the same firmware) - wondering which firmware (English) supports phone calls (review on notebookcheck.net says its actually quite good). I guess oeminfo is needed to flash a different regional firmware?
Man I'm in the same boat as you're I need to root my Huawei AGS-L09 but no avail hope some day we can find a way to do it with the help of the xda genius members!
By the way I can make phone calls on mine
Thanks Mercer99, as per other thread, appreciate it (for your device security, can you remove the image as this has your IMEI)- we have the same model, but different firmware.
AGS-L09C199B002 is “Saudi Arabia Oman Kenya Cameroon Jordan Qatar Ghana Android 7.0 EMUI 5.1” region.
AGS-L09C127B031 is “Greece Hungary United Kingdom Nonspecific Android 7.0_EMUI” . The dialer/calling function is disabled on this firmware - confirmed on Vodafone and EE network.
Is there any way you can extract the OEMINFO from your device and share it with us. This should enable me to debrand the phone if I can find your firmware (downloaded EUROPEAN version with Firmware finder already – so really need an European OEMINFO).
My phone is still locked to Vodafone so I am not sure whether I can flash the firmware or even need root to flash a different OEMINFO (bootloader is unlocked already).
Rooted
Took a risk and its rooted now - Magisk v14.0 installed fine and seems to be working (need to test further). Also, Vodafone unlocked the device now for me
Challenge now is to debrand so as to enable functions which has been disabled by Vodafone (namely calling).
Would appreciate if anyone can help - need OEMINFO from another region so as to change the firmware, especially European one or even other UK network who does not disable calling.
Could not contain myself…. In my quest to debrand so I can have a dialer/phone calling function, downloaded a firmware (either from FF Team or on the internet), tried flashing system.img file to see if it installs the dialer as it would not install extracted ones and it did not work. So tested with the boot.img and it did work but phone kept rebooting to eRecovery.
Restoring from TWRP (incomplete/untested) backup did not work. Can’t install any other regional firmware because of OEMINFO. eRecovery can’t find any firmware. The only thing – TWRP/Stock Recovery, eRecovery or bootloader!
Chatted with Huawei support and they won’t give me a link to download the firmware – want me to send for repair, which I don’t really want to – too much hassle and they may end up blaming me anyway….lol He agreed to upload one to their website if he can find one.
I would appreciate if anyone can give me an OEMINFO or link to EUROPEAN firmware with a dialer….. I think European one is AGS-L09C127B031CUSTC127D002 – would appreciate if anyone can share the file with me.
Managed to source the Vodafone UK now firmware now - thanks to combinefile.com
The only think remaining is to enable the enable the dialer now – can someone help? Either a guide to enable within Vodafone firmware or share an OEMINFO and detail of a UK/European firmware that has a dialer enabled (i.e. can make calls) would be much appreciated.

did someone used the first method ("How to install Magisk with ADB") and root the tablet with success?
do i have to unlock my bootloader on huawei site even with that root procedure?
is there a working TWRP for this model?
i have a AGS-L09C100B011, it's an european firmware for sure
if you found it useful let me know what to do

I am not sure if anyone has tried but check the 4pda.ru forum (I have been using google translation) lol
It should work with a locked bootloader.
TWRP - I have updated the link now to 4pda.ru forum. I have used that to root my model. I don't think restore (and backups) works. Of course, you need blootloader to be unlocked first.
Does your  AGS-L09C100B011CUSTC100D002 have a dialer and can you make calls? I need the firmware and may be OEMINFO /Cust - not exactly sure how it works on a tablet. But it certainly needs something else to be changed.

I will not do anything to my device by now. i will wait for a complete guide without any risk since i'm a noob.

KOB-L09 TWRP Here - I should be getting a new KOB-L09 to play end of this week,
In case this info is useful to anyone, I just got one of these from O2 and the dialler is preinstalled on the device. I've not tried using a regular SIM to make calls from it but the feature doesn't seem to be blocked. I can open the dialler and see the keypad etc.
Not a bad little tablet this, it needs an update to the latest security patches as it's still on July and the default launcher is crap (easy to install Nova of course) but otherwise very good for the price having Android 7.0, a Snapdragon, and LTE for £100. Stuck a MicroSD in there and filled it with movies to watch on the go.
Hexgor, can you confirm the firmware version and are you able to upload the dialer apk files for us, may be it just needs to be installed....thanks
Thanks
Thanks, now my KOB L09 is rooted with Magisk in Twrp..

Custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy J8

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy J8 from Australia because I lost my phone there. When I came home to India I found out that the Australian J8 does not support VoLTE (Voice over LTE) but I need VoLTE for my Indian sim card to work. So I went to the Samsung service center but they straight away denied any support since I bought this in another country.
The Indian varient J8 supports VoLTE but the Australian one does not even when both the phones have the exact same hardware. So its a software limitation.
Can anyone suggest any method I can use to install any custom ROM that'll support VoLTE.
I'm willing to install anything, root my phone or whatever it takes since I'm never gonna get any warranty on this. So I might as well try everything else.

Just download Indian firmware from sammobile and flash via odin, that will contain latest modem for your device. It might bring VoLTE, because I think its software problem.

I tried but it won't let me install any other model firmware. My phone's Model Number is SM-J810Y but the phones available in India have model number SM-J810G. So it won't let me install the "G" firmware. I get a failed message.
Do you have any other suggestion?

Hi, I wanted to change my ROM but I forgot the OEM. I am stuck with the FRP. Someone would have the U3 COMBINATION for the J810YDXU3BSE1

Question about firmware update on rebranded phone

So I've successfully rebranded a Chinese Honor9 (STF-AL10) to the European branding (STF-L09C432). Next step is install a L09 firmware. But there are 2 problems on the phone, which I believe are very common:
1 - no capacitive buttons
2 - camera flash/torch not consistently working
Is there a known firmware that I can flash to fix these problems (especially the camera flash problem) ? I read the B120 firmware is the way to go, but I haven't seen any download links (including pro-teammt.ru) that work. I know that flashing the lastest ROM will make downgrades brick the phone (this has already happened to me, but I was lucky enough to get another replace AL10).
Thanks.

Hello, I have also already rebranded Honor 9 from stf-al10 to European L09. I know the best way to rebrand it. You are supposed to unlock the bootloader at first and then root it whith open kirin twrp. After that you should change the oeminfo to L09, its really important. In that way, you can rebrand to L09 without problem. Do not forget to save the stock al10 oeminfo.

REQUEST: oeminfo and cust files to rebrand CMR-W09 C567 to C432

As those affected know, C567 (US version) of MediaPad M5 is stuck at EMUI 8.0.
I managed to unlock the bootloader using the test point method (need to carefully open the device and use PotatoNV program).
However, after experimenting with a couple of Treble ROMS (pphusson's AOSP 11, for example), I decided EMUI was less buggy for me. However, I'd like to be able to upgrade to EMUI 9.1, for which I'd like to rebrand to C432 (Europe version). I understand it's possible to rebrand by changing the cust and oeminfo partitions.
QUESTION: does anyone have a method for modifying these files or can upload them if they have a C432? I understand there are some paid online services that may do rebranding, but would rather leverage the XDA hive!
BONUS QUESTION: if anyone has had a very good experience with some other ROM, would be glad to hear it.
Cheers and thanks in advance for any help or advice!
I've got a magisk rooted CMR-W09 C432 running 9.1.0.160. Maybe I can help you somehow...
But please care: I might have tempered something: I'm currently trying to upgrade to 9.1.0.371 but the updater fails consecutively: Maybe I've borked something e.g. in the bootloader or elsewhere...
