Hi there,
sorry for bothering you with my problem but I really cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I am running a pure stock version of 4.4.4 on my international version of the moto E, with no root and no unlocked bootloader. I am willing to update to the latest 5.1 build but whitout unlocking the bootloader and stuff.
From what I understand the first step to do so in the easiest way possible would be to download the first 5.0.2 soak (22.21.32 341MB) update and put it into the main SD card. From then the phone should detect the update from the settings, but mine isn't.
I have already tried sideloading the update by going to the recovery and choosing update from adb. Also I have developer options enabled.
Thanks for your help.

Well, 1st of all let me tell you, that you are completely going the wrong way.... You DO NOT need to flash 5.0.2.... From what I know, factory images of XT1021 for official Android 5.1 lollipop are available...
Check this LINK
There are three versions, choose the appropriate one. Download it, and use mfastboot to flash the latest FW (Don't worry, because these are signed images and will work on devices with locked bootloader)
If u think that these are quite complicated, just hit the play store, make sure that Motorola Update Services app is updated.... and wait for the OTA.
If you are 100% sure that you have not unlocked the bootloader, then pm me, I will give the instructions to flash the fw.
Cheers

I am sorry, but I think I made a mistake
The official image is not available for your model at the moment. What u can try is wait for the update to be pushed.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I need to install Android 6, but I can't seem to find a firmware upgrade that matches my version exactly.
What version is safe to use? I'm completely new to the android world, so I'm completely lost…
The closest I've found is a file named "Honor 5X_Firmware_KIW-L21_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0_C432B330CUSTC432D001_Denmark.zip" but according to the PDF included in it I should only be used with versions:
KIW-L21C432B130CUSTC432D005
KIW-L21C432B130CUSTC432D006
KIW-L21C432B140
KIW-L21C432B300CUSTC432D002
Mine is kiw-l21c432b160.
Is it safe to use this one? Do you have any idea where I might find a suitable .zip if not?
Thanks for the help

What is cust version of you phone??
Did you try finding your firmware using firmware finder.?
I've given the full build number as it appears on the device (no CUSTxxx) suffix. Should I look somewhere else?
I'll check this firmware finder app once I have the opportunity.

I have successfully downloaded a firmware using firmware finder.
When I go to Settings, update, local install, it is recognized and offers to install it. But then it boots to TWRP and fails to install. I guess I need to use the stock recovery? Any help appreciated...
And thanks!

Okay... So the closest I've found is this: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=55194
But it's for B140, not B160. Apparently I have a very exotic model. Is it safe to flash or am I stuck here?

Yes, now I'm starting to understand all these version numbers. My end goal is to install LineageOS, but I need MM first.
So now, I've switched back to Huawei eRecovery instead of TWRP, and tried two different firmwares (before B360 because apparently it prevents installing LineageOS), that were "validated with my IMEI". Settings>Update>Local>Reboot, installation starts I'm about to cry tears of joy and then around 15%, installation fails with no further details. I can then shutdown and reboot to my good ol' lollipop. Not sure what to do next...

I still have the same lollipop firmware my device was bought with. I don't think I have US variant. I brought it from (Amazon France)[https://www.amazon.fr/Honor-5X-Smar...d=1508409802&sr=8-2&keywords=huawei+honor+5x] and I am in France. The product title says it is unlocked but I had to do it myself.
I'll try your link as soon as I receive my SD card, because apparently it is required for this method. I still have this file from an older download, but was scared because a PDF file included in it mentioned it should be used with B140 and did not mention B160, but now that I've flashed a stock recovery meant for B140, this doesn't scare me anymore.
Thank you very much for taking the time to help a noob FOSS-enthusiast!

A little info on your part may help here, ie. the model of your phone or your location as the Android 9 (Pie) has very limited release for the single sim and the dual sim is only slightly better.. There are a few ways to flash firmware a) Sony Flashtool or b) Newsflasher c) Adb, search the XDA a bit there are some excellent guides on how to use both... ( homework time)
Also you may want to mention what OS you have on your computer as installing drivers for adb, fastboot ect. vary for each, windows 7 and 8 are pretty basic but on 10 you will need to disable the signature verification before you can install the drivers and Linux is a whole other thing.. so give us some info.. read a bit and get back to us.

You can have a look here ( https://xpericheck.com/device/G8341 ) and you can see if it has been released in you region yet if not then you won't be able to do it by Ota yet..
Here's how to check your build version (region). I found this method here
Open the dialler
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* and press dial

I still not got my OTA update Is it normal? Can I force it without formatting my device?
EDIT: I had to post on XDA, I'm downloading the update right now
Hi,
Does anyone know if the Mate 20 Pro rooting and flashing the fw guides here are still working and should still be used? I do have a code to unlock my bootloader, but it appears that the guides, and the software recommended to install/use in those guides are either outdated or no longer accessible.
I'm kind of reluctant to follow the guides to root and flash my fw, that my risk the chance of bricking my phone. Does anyone know of any guides that still work today?
I'm currently on 9.0.0.265(C636E10) that was flashed by the previous owner through FunkyHuawei. The phone was purchased from a Canadian carrier (Rogers) and the fw should be associated to the C792 region. I would like to root and re-flash my fw back to the C792 region and start receiving OTA updates, but I'm unable to find a complete and up-to-date guide to help me achieve this.
Any help from you experts is greatly appreciated.

How can I update a Huawei P20 Lite (ANE-LX2) with 8.0.0.120 to any version of Android 10? Or, at least, 9.1 official. When trying to update officially with system menu it does not offer me any update. I have bootloader unlocked and is rooted, but apparently the Android 9-10 ROMs require EMUI 9 and I have EMUI 8. What can I do? I've been exploring forums for hours and I can't find something clear. I need to update EMUI version and Android version separately?

Now I am on 9.1 with an official european OTA, have changed region from spceas to eu with dc-unlocker (this cost to me 2 credits), and with root. It took me a long time to get it, so I'm scared to upgrade to android 10 and lost my root. Any suggestion?

It depends on:
1. the type of root
2. whether you have Bootloader unlock code (it is not recommended to play with custom ROMs without BL unlock code).
In any case, you can install the following types of custom ROMs:
A) xxxxx-arm64-bgS(or bvS) with built-in SU (sometimes with SuperUser) ,then you need only install phh-superuser.apk to get root permissions
B) xxxxx-arm64-bgZ/bvZ with built-in enhanced dynamic root (you can enable/disable superuser root in phone settings)
I've bootloader unlocked. Type of root... I suppose magisk root. What is xxxxx-arm64-bg* ? This is a ROM? I can't find this

(Not "ministryofsolutions.com", as usual)
This is the only asian 9.1 firmware available without pay
¡Finally! I find an 9.1 asian firmware on an Turkey forum, previous registration. Installed via dload without problems, and g-sensors works. Now I will try to root...
