ALE-L21 BalongC50B311 update firmware?

Hi guys,
I'd like to update my firmware because my wifi doesn't work anymore. The phone can't find any networks. It worked fine couple days ago.
I remember i flashed an update file of 21kb to get the dual sim to work.
modelnumber ALE-L21
build number is BalongC50B311
Android 5.0.1
EMUI 3.1
I tried several firmwares but all fail to install.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction? What firmware do i need? I'd would like to keep using dual sim.
Thanks!
Did you used search before writing a new topic? If you would, you would see that balong is a bug and you can't update your firmware when you have balong.
What version did you installed before getting balong?
thanks for you reply
i know and i now managed to remove balong by flashing vendor.
i'm now on ALE-L21C432B183
what is the best choice of firmware to flash?
thanks

I recommend the rom from sokkoban. but you have to convert it to dual sim first.

1. You take a goat, 3 virgins and lay them around your phone on a table
2. Say these words "I like peanutbutter"
stand back and see how the great Android god converts your phone into a dual sim.

Razer Phone 2 with THX branding? Update!

Hey y'all,
Has anybody ever seen a Razer Phone 2 with THX Logo on the back of the phone? Just curious.
UPDATE!!!
This is definitely different because the bootloader is unlocked but it still has the DRMs intact. To get to the recovery/fastboot info it has a different hard key combo. Upon boot it shows a serial list and unlocked bootloader. It's dual SIM and has more internal storage. It has a different device name too Cheryl2/Bolt. It also has code Aurora apps for testing installed as default.
If it's possible to extract the DRMs from this device to use on Razer Phone 2s with unlocked bootloader's I'm all ears and will try to do it for y'all.
Thanks
Anybody?

What I'm curious about is why the build of the device is in June of this year, that it has 512 GB internal storage, dual SIM, and widevine L1 with bootloader unlocked. That's crazy. I would like to extract the DRM partition but don't know what partition it is under. We could all have unlocked bootloader's with widevine L1.

Awesome, Maybe someone will help you. I’m not ver knowledgeable about that sort of thing, but I know a few people who are. Has anyone reached out to you yet?
It seems that the widevine partition is located in the vendor partition. I know the vendors are easily flashed on Pixel devices, so maybe that would be plausible. I hope it is able to be done.

For me I was curious to see if this is like the treble ROMs that are out. There are AOSP TREBLE ROMs out that function quite well. One of the advantages is that we have a choice not use Google apps/services with the TREBLE ROMs. Just like the old days. Most of the custom roms out now are loaded with gapps.
There's even AOSP based ROMs with gapps in this section that have a lot more customations.
It's really about choice.

If you have fastboot then download factory image, extract contents to fastboot folder and hit run
If not download the OTA zip, load up recovery, sideload update in recovery using ADB

Question So how bad did I mess up? Global SKFZAVC

Soo... apparently my native firmware wasn't loaded anywhere online, so I got great advice to back it up before doing anything, did that.... saved it happily on my PC and played around with a few Roms. Wanted to do a clean install and guess what? ZIP file corrupted. Any ideas to get it back? guess I have no choice but to flash Global SKFMIXM? A link to doing that would be appreciated also. Thank you for your time

No need to apologize at all! In fact i was going to put it online as the original person who gave me advice on Telegram said that it was a "rare" Rom. Like maybe it could help a dev or something.

So this is a really rare thing, like Pokémon card. I got it by going to about phone, clicking on the 13 picture of the left, then it started downloading, then I clicked install and started panicking because they told me to save it, but after it installed, I did it again and this time I just saved it the phone, then connected phone to PC and copy pasted it in a folder. Maybe it's the wrong thing?

Extracting? Why? It's a recovery rom. It's only used for flashing on custom recovery. But I guess if it shows error during extraction then I guess it will also fail during flashing. No clue unless it's flashed tbh. Did you try on other programs to extract the zip? Also is the zip file 3.x gb something? I heard about sometimes recovery rom downloaded from updater app would sometimes come with less than 3gb (at least for sweet) and it's like a corrupted zip. Or maybe the download did not finish. It's really weird that once the recovery rom gets downloaded, a full 3.xgb zip is already available on the downloads folder even though it's still downloading.

Perhaps I brutalized the English language, what I meant is that I did downloaded it fully, wait time was about 15/20 minutes I suppose. I tried standard 7zip and winrar but gave an error. The file size as a zip is 3.3gb . I'm quite sure it did fully download though. When I extract Project Elixyr.zip file, it immediately starts with winrar. Isn't it good to have a fresh clean install of your firmware every now and then when changing ROMs often? Plus what if there was something in there that could help someone, I know there was another South African looking for it a few months ago and he was so desperate. But i suppose I just use basic Global when I Feel its time for a clean freshy
Good Day. Hope you came right with the SKFZAVC Frimware.
Im also Cuurently Struggeling to get the New MIUI 14 for my Redmi 10 Pro.

No Matter in what way I do it.
Any Possible Advise on how to get the New MIUI 14 Loaded on my Phone?

Since SKFZAVC is a weird and restricted version of MIUI, there's no way for anyone to know whether MIUI 14 will arrive on it or not. If you want, you can unlock the bootloader and manually flash the Global version with the latest MIUI 14.0.1.0. Although, I'm not certain whether using the global version is ok for your region/provider as ZAVC is restricted and locked and maybe changing region will prevent you from using the sim or other carrier stuff. I really don't know because this is such a rare region and only those who own it can tell their experience on it.
If you want, and possibly have other people explore that region rom a bit more, try uploading the recovery zip of SKFZAVC in drive or other clouds and have others use and test it. There's no ZAVC rom in circulation or achieved anywhere so none was able to test it.
