You can download any OTA from Firmware finder (android or pc version) and flash it !
Currently it works 100% if you follow the instructions below to the letter
Warning !
Keep in mind that you are going to flash a newer version that is not yet released for your region.
This could result in having to reset your phone or a unstable system
Also the firmware could not be verified yet by google, so some apps could stop working.
Most of the time it is safe to flash a newer version when you read that someone has received it by OTA in a different country.
When i flashed the 185 firmware no wipe was done. I was coming from 178.
This is no insurance that it will never wipe your phone, so backup always !!
Check this youtube video for the entire procedure (for mate 20, but everything else is the same basically) https://youtu.be/g9pPi7I1SNc
This guide is based on the Mate 20 guide but modified for some parts, the only thing i have invested is the time to create this guide and my P30 Pro for countless flashes.
Check here for more info and download links
All other credits are mentioned below this guide.
Full guide: (WINDOWS Only) (You need at least 30GB free on the c: drive)
Get the all in one package here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MkNW9tAwpKwKR6fl3YsmlHWtfrvwAXQu/view?usp=sharing
Or download from the following site(s)
1. You need version 9.0.2.301 from hisuite (or the version from my package, is is slightly newer), if you are already using the newer HiSuite version 9.0.2.305 then uninstall this
2. Use Hisuitepatchinstaller found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/hisuite-patch-hstool-t3910147 after installation of the correct HiSuite version
If for some reason you cannot download HiSuitepatchinstaller then u can use the FHHiSuiteInstaller, You can find under the "HiSuite Method" menu HERE, then unzip en run this''.
3. Next you need Hstool (currently at version 1.30), It is included in my download pack or download this at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/manual-upgrading-mate-20-pro-bl-locked-t3905924
Create a folder on your laptop/pc on the C: drive called Hstool and put the downloaded "Hstool.exe" file in it.
4. You need to download firmware using Firmware Finder from GPlay or site and NOT the ones from dload folder.
This will ensure that you download the correct version for your phone.
Put the downloaded file also in the "c:\Hstool" folder.
5.. Instead of downloading (step 4) you can also use this OTA file (it is version 185) this version
VOG-L29 tested, for other versions maybe it is better to use firmwaredownloader from step 4
6. Grab the file from here and replace the file in C:/Windows/User/yourusername/AppData/HiSuite/userdata/UpdateDogDev/HiSuiteConfig.xml
7. Put the full OTA file inside the folder where HStool tool is located and start HStool and follow the instructions
BUT when it asks to put a # before the entry 127.0.0.1 query.hicloud.com, change it to 159.138.6.23 query.hicloud.com
Known issues :
1. Sometimes the XML is being replaced automatically by HiSuite. So make sure you update this just before you start flashing
2. Do check if the hosts file is correctly edited just before you start the final step. You can do this by doing a "ping query.hicloud.com"
Thanks to @SLVMSF for the info and links
Thanks to @mikeos for HStool
Thanks to @Zanr Zij for the modded XML file to make it compatible for the P30 pro
Note:
This guide is work in progress and has been updated on 04-08-2019
Nice work, m8. I will try tomorow to merge some infos about hosts and what's different in Funky Huawei vs offline after i get my hands on a laptop and install all necessary for helping you.

It's the same thing, Huawei is releasing international versions. The versions for dload method are different, but what i had linked it's what you need. You can flash without any doubt LGRP2-OVS.

That works on the VOG-L29 just perfectly. I have one myself
Got myself a laptop here on my site's work and tried to update using HSTool without Fumky Huawei servers, but with no luck . I get the No Internet Connection problem.
Maybe someone who installed without FH could enlighten us
I tried different hosts, including official query. hicloud.com, still nothing

Yes, Need help to understand what's missing from FH side. Same issue here as well.
Also, Check this Post made by me a while back. I Got ahead of the internet connection step a while back.
However the firmware didn't pass to the device.
The correction was in the hosts file, Check the hosts file I have attached in that thread. It has the correct FH Entry.
Did you guys try the sideload file i also posted in the FP not from funky ?
And did you replace the xml file ?

Present to you the Russian official firmware 4.1.2 "La Fleur" (2-file) with a three-button activation mode
How to flash your smartphone:
- Open Odin, attached to the archive
-- In the "PIT" open "goldenxx.pit"
-- In the "PDA", open "CODE_I8190XXAMA2_809600_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
-- In the "CSC" open "CSC_QXE_I8190QXEAMA1_20130109.163004_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
"La Fleur" completely put, in contrast to the single-file. Maybe it's because I ruled "Build.prop"? This is the official firmware, which is about 25MB of updates. Now facepalm
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I8190
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official

Not really development as it is a stock firmware and belongs to general section

I can confirm that it works.

Great work!

I know I meant great work in finding it.
It's simple, reflash a pre-rooted ROM faria's or Infected's, then install ROM Manager from Play Store and flash CWM via ROM Manager.
And yes 3 button combination will still work.
Three button combo works on my end after flashing the LeFleur ROM. Reflashing Infected_'s 4.1.2 ROM then reflashing TWRP to see if it sticks.

hey. You have uploaded ROM made by me but even not asked me!
Original thread.
You even used links I provided. My 4shared account: http://www.4shared.com/u/K0MJjxBT/dolar4ik.html
Why you did not add any references?
BTW, It will NOT increase binary count! I tested and reinstalled it 5 or more times. and few users from 4pda.ru too.
So? He just uploaded it, he didn't modify it.

Guys. I don`t ask to delete any posts. I just ask to add some references to the author of the ROM.
I have spent few days for investigating service firmware and I asks to respect the work of others.
That`s all.
Anyhow, the thread is made not by you, Benzonat0r and not by you, mermigas.
My message addressed to the thread owner. I ask to add references and author information.
Also, correct information about binary count. and there are 2 mirrors where you can download it:
Yandex.Disk
Dropbox
Listen man, we can all clearly see who made it when we click the link Original thread and we all immediately know it wasn't made by him. So no need to be difficult here.
Now it is all clear and the author has his rights.
Anyhow I installed this ROM.
Copied through root explorer the appropriate csc files to system and through CSC selector I installed EUR CSC.
Results no binary count and Official
PS Asphalt6 is included. Through root explorer Ozon.ru and Pogoda ;;; were removed
Hi guys,

There is a UK version for SGP312 in development section, but I'm not flashing that either. You lose your TV providers for built-in remote control app, and some other US specific apps and settings. There are millions of people with this tablet in US - I'm amazed that no one wants to help. Very much unlike XDA.

It's because most of the people don't bother modifying tablets unless they're Asus or Sammy tablets. Sony tablets and phones really aren't that popular, in the US, yet in the modding community cause they had crap products for years and now that their products are good and they're offering the best support out of any of the other OEMs.

Yes, 4shared is not really recommended precisely because of the registration requirement. It's much preferred if you use one without such a requirement, like mega, Google Drive or dev-host

Thanks for the information. I have never used dev-host, so I will investigate and if possible, upload the file there.
Edit: I joined Dev-Host and donated $25.00. Big mistake! Worst web site interface ever! And slow! After four failed attempts, I am now trying to upload the file a fifth time.
2nd Edit: Finally got the file uploaded to Dev-Host. Took 3.5 hours. Unbelievable!
It still requires registration, in order to download. I'm not going to register with my real email on a public web share like that, just to download a file. If someone could upload the firmware to a host with no restrictions - would be very much appreciated

I lost root after flashing the update. Still investigating...
UPDATE: After flashing LK bootloader TWRP 2.6 started to work and it's so smart it recognized I don't have root and offered to install SuperSU and root the device without me even doing anything. After doing all that my device is rooted again and running .370 update + newest TWRP 2.6.0.0. Mad props to TeamWin. I will post the firmware and instructions in the dev section after I wake up

I lose root access every time I re-install the firmware (done several times using Sony Mobile's Update Service), but I expect to lose root access because Sony Mobile's Update Service does a "clean install". Losing root is no problem for me because I can quickly and easily regain root access using DooMLoRD's XTZ Easy Rooting Toolkit.

I appreciate the update and details of your actions taken. I am going to avoid doing anything beyond gaining root access until Sony releases their official version of Android 4.2 or better.
DooMLoRD's XTZ Easy Rooting Toolkit didn't work for me on this .370 update, but since it's possible to flash custom recovery like TWRP - that's no biggie. TWRP handled gaining root access very nicely. I highly recommend LK bootloader, now that I've played with it for a while. Right now it's the only way to run TWRP 2.6, which is awesome.

The phone is good. Im very satisfied. There has been rumors that we will get the 4.3 update but not sure when. Yes the phone heats up sometimes but with the latest updates i feel like its gone down tremendously. There is no actual flaw to this phone i really like it. I will be using it until the K910 is officially released in my country. I wanna try an LTE phone lol.

Yes I know its very much "legit" . I had no problem in downloading the file uploaded initially. I will try this soon as my phone is just a week old and just wana make sure everything fine with it as after rooting I will loose its warranty.
Just a single question I have is, when on lock screen I press PIN code the whole screen brightness kinda flicker/brighten up on touch. Is it normal or its only me getting this? Also screen brightness varies while I use the phone!

Just go to superuser and hit the unroot button. Only stock kernel is available, no custom kernels around yet.

Earlier today, I set up Fiddler (a web debugging proxy) on my computer and configured the WiFi connection on my Lenovo A7000-a to pass all traffic through the proxy running on my computer.
I wanted to see what requests my phone makes when checking for firmware upgrades. I found out that requests were made to http://fus.lenovomm.com, more specifically,
Code:
[B]http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?optionalparameter=%7B%7D&devicemodel=LenovoA7000_A_ROW&curfirmwarever=A7000-a_S133_150424_ROW&action=querynewfirmware&locale=en[/B]
There was nothing on that page as my phone is already running the latest firmware, so I changed the value for the attribute currfirmwarever and set it to an older firmware version (A7000-a_S129_150324_ROW) and I got an XML file with an OTA download URL at the bottom:
Code:
http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/A7000-a_S129_150324_ROW_TO_A7000-a_S133_150424_ROW_WC52.zip
I've identified the names of 3 old firmware versions that can be switched in place of currfirmwarever to get the OTA updates for each one. They are:
1. A7000-a_S124_150303_ROW
Code:
http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?devicemodel=LenovoA7000_A_ROW&curfirmwarever=A7000-a_S124_150303_ROW&action=querynewfirmware&locale=en
2. A7000-a_S128_150319_ROW
Code:
http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?devicemodel=LenovoA7000_A_ROW&curfirmwarever=A7000-a_S128_150319_ROW&action=querynewfirmware&locale=en
3. A7000-a_S129_150324_ROW
Code:

However, they're essentially DIFF files used to update old ROM versions to newer ones (e.g. S129_150324 to S133_150424). I know that Lenovo stores entire ROM ZIPs on this server as you can see by visiting these links:
Code:
http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?action=querynewfirmwarehtml&curfirmwarever=VIBEROM_V1.0_1407_2_ST_K910&devicemodel=LenovoK910_ROM_ST&locale=en
Code:
http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/Kraft-A6000_S032_150327_WCDB.zip
I want to know how I could get the stock ROM for Lenovo A7000-a from this server. I want to know the format of the URL that would get me the download for the complete ROM and not just the OTA update.
I already tried
Code:
http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/<ROM BUILD NUMBER HERE>.zip
but it didn't work. The URL I tried was
Code:
http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/A7000-a_S133_150424_ROW.zip

Thanks! Could you also explain how you got hold of it? I'm interested to learn how I could download them from Lenovo's own servers. For instance, the ROM for Lenovo A6000 is available here: http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/Kraft-A6000_S032_150327_WCDB.zip
I'd like to know how to construct a query for the OTA server (http://fus.lenovomm.com) that would spit out an XML response with a link to that ROM download.

Possible Lenovo OTA server & client source code
While looking for a way to download stock ROMs off of Lenovo's servers, I found this:
https://github.com/otaserver/
I believe that to be the source code for Lenovo's OTA server (and client). I think so because of the strings.xml file here:
https://github.com/otaserver/otaclient/blob/master/res/values/strings.xml
Translating it with Google Translate would give you a better idea of what the strings mean. It also contains a reference to "/mnt/sdcard/lenovoota".
The following search result makes it clearer:
https://github.com/otaserver/otasdk/search?utf8=✓&q=lenovo+OR+lenovomm&type=Code
You can clearly see that the code contains a reference to fus.lenovomm.com and this file in particular contains many hints on the working of the OTA server:
https://github.com/otaserver/otasdk/blob/master/src/com/otaserver/client/sdk/MobileInfo.java
I'm not very good with code. If you guys could analyze it and figure out how it works, maybe we'll understand how to make queries to the OTA server that spits out URLs for entire ROM downloads and not just OTA updates.
Hey can u please get me the link to download stock rom for a6000 plus. I bricked my phone(boots into stock recovery) and its rooted so i'll need cwm too. I went to the service center to get it fixed but they ordered the whole pcb for rellacement and that is very time consuming as the part will come from china. I need to get it fixed soon plz help.

Hey OP
I have the solution
Look at this link: http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3....l&full_rom&devicemodel=LenovoK50-T5&locale=en
Now I have the Lenovo S8 A7600 phone, so I changed "LenovoK50-T5" to "LenovoA7600". You get the picture.
As you seen in the XML-file, the filenames on the server is different. That's why you couldn't download.

I know you can do that, but it doesn't work if I change the devicemodel parameter to LenovoA7000 or LenovoA7000-a (the server is case sensitive). I get this:
Code:
<Error>
<Code>FUS-0112</Code>
<Message>Invalid device model</Message>
</Error>
So I guess what I need is the correct model number string for the Lenovo A7000-a.

Well getting the right URL from VibeRomFlash.exe is not hard you simply connect the device to your pc and you wait for VibeRomFlash.exe to detect the phone and you read the memory of the VibeRomFlash.exe i used Process Hacker (it's some thing like Task Manager but with more options) (also sorry forums wont allow me to post links so you have to google it your self)
Well here is how to do it, in Process Hacker you will find the VibeRomFlash.exe and click on it process in the list and open the properties and there is a Tab called "Memory" and you click on "Strings" (leave option as they are and press OK) then click on "Filter" and on the menu click on "Contains..." and you can use any part of the URL but i used "querynewfirmware"
Here what i got from VibeRomFlash.exe (Note that my stock ROM is not ROW):
I was thinking if you use the ROW you might need to change the locale=zh to locale=en
I think this gives you the update only since it's size is just 396.80MB
Code:
fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?action=querynewfirmwarehtml&devicemodel=LenovoK50-T5&curfirmwarever=VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_5.955.1_ST_K50-T5&deviceid=<You put your deviceid here>&locale=zh
And this one gives you the full rom it's about 869.36MB
Code:
fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?action=querynewfirmwarehtml&full_rom&devicemodel=LenovoK50-T5&locale=zh
Hi
Did you find a way to download official firmware.
All links sent me on the official chinese page (http://fans.hisense.com/thread-170868-1-1.html) where is no download link. Anf if I try to create a count I need a chinese number phone :crying:
so how did you do or do you have the file ?
Why not contact them? http://global.hisense.com/contact
I did it one week ago now and I received any answer
I have the stock firmware (the bilingual) if you still need it, also the GAPPS firmware that is installed through miflash lemme know if you need it.

Hello there. I just bought my second hisense a5c. First one was the original bilingual i´m guessing (color supporting) and second one has gapps. I need to flash the original color firmware on the second one. I loose google play, but i regain color and fix an issue with the gps on an app that´s not running fine on the google version. do you still have the original firmware to share? How can i get my hands in it? And small workaround on flashing it on the hisense would be also well received.
Thanks.
The stock firmware... I´m sharing it using torrent. Here´s the torrent file
HLTE202N_L1657.6.01.04.B5.zip.torrent
Shared with Dropbox
www.dropbox.com
thank's for all
cgmodeler witch GAPPS firmware do you use ?
Hello guys! Can someone upload the firmware for A5C to google drive or somewhere else? Torrent file seems to be dead. Original with coloured screen whithout google play
Can someone upload the A5C firmware somewhere or at least reopen the torrent?
Thanks

It was a rocky start for some reason.
It's going fine now.
Thank you
Tried today and no seeders .
Thought I had an old copy but only got the A5 ROM, not the A5C.
How hard is it to get a Hisense account from outside China and download direct?
