Trojan found in the vendor rom

Hi All, I have received my mi mix today and it got pre-installed with vendor ROM MiUi 8.0.8.0.
I installed malware bytes and ran a scan and there is a trojan I found in the notes app and I am not able to delete that app.
I haven't got unlock code from Xiaomi :crying: . Till I get that I believe I will not be able to go to stable China ROM or EU ROM. Please correct me if I am wrong.
As I don't want to use the device with malware on it, does it mean I am stuck till I get the unlock key from xiaomi.

This is not something new and has been reported by other users including myself. Even though Malwarebytes detects it as a Trojan, no one has reported any harm from that app and it is not confirmed that it is a Trojan.
Anyway, even I wanted to be on the safer side and didn't use the device until I had flashed a safe ROM. Luckily I had applied for the unlock code before I placed my order, so I had the code by the time I received the device.
It is technically possible to bypass bootloader and flash the official firmware. To bypass a locked bootloader, you need the deep flash cable or flash via EDL mode. Both these methods, especially flashing via EDL is only advised as a last resort. Using EDL is not usually recommended as there is a risk of permanently bricking the device. I wouldn't recommend these methods especially if you are new to flashing.
As of now, you can first check whether your bootloader is already unlocked by following instructions in one of the guides. If you're lucky and bootloader is already unlocked, you can flash one of the official ROMS.
If not, I would suggest that you wait till you receive your unlock code.

Thanks a lot . As I am totally new, I also didn't want to go the EDL route and I don't have the required cable either.
I will wait till I get the unlock code. In how many days did you get your unlock code.

I got the sms around 3days after I applied for the code. You can expect to receive yours in 3-5days from the date you applied.

Don't try EDL it's disabled on mix. There is a simple guide on going from vendor rom to which ever you want, no updates coming your way with vendor rom.

Sure, thanks a lot. I am not going to try EDL at all. Want to first learn how to flash with TWRP first .
Waiting now for the unlock code Every time I get a message, I hope its from xiaomi sending the unlock code.

I had a check right after I opened the phone from the box. But its locked .
showing "unlock : false".
I was really hoping that vendor unlocked the bootloader for installing the vendor ROM but they didn't. I guess they used some other method.

Manual update P10?

Anyone succeed with manually updating P10? I have tried with no sucess.
Old method is not working.
Thanks

No but did you made the dload folder with the update.app file and then booted into the stock recovery mode?
I woudnt know any other way since they removed that from update settings : |

I tried that, does not work.

You can't manual update the P10 or P10 Plus, since it requires an online check.
They removed the ability to manual update via dload methode.
The only way at this moment is to use FunkyHuawei!

What about Firmware finder? I've tried this as well but I only get download failed, even everything is done as it should.

Hey,
I am working into this direction and got some promising results already. I am testing two more things during the next days (so that I can be sure my Stuff won't break your phones) and hope I can share my findings with you early next week.

Good to hear that. :good:

So, it is not possible to update, even the firmware matches your corrent model/brand?
I finally found the FW for VTR-L09C109, but when using dload method I get "Installation failed".

No, it is not possible. Huawei did something with emui 5.1.

It is not good since you loose warranty with bootloader unlocked.

Not always correct. It depends on the local country laws you live in.

And also if you follow the instructions you end with LOCKED Bootloader so no warranty lost

Is it same with P10 as it was with P9, tha it say relocked instead locked bootloader, when you lock it again?

nope : Phone LOCKED
FRP unlocked so they cant see the difference they can only find out if they check if you got the bootloader unlock code.but you also could request the code and dont use it.

Any progress here? The update has been out for months in other regions but I still haven't got anything here in Sweden :/

Nokia 8 BRICKED ( Critical Locked )

Hello, First post here so bear with me if i sound like a noob
My Nokia 8 TA- 1004 is bricked and I cant re-flash stock firmware because even though my Bootloader is unlocked, Critical is not unlocked ;( . I can only access Twrp and that doesn't seem of much help, I've tried unlocking critical but fastboot commands just wont work ( adb commands do work, while in twrp ). Also I panicked when my phone got bricked and wiped everything including the system with twrp ;(. Is there anything i can do now, or has it all gone pear shaped for my phone?:crying: would it work if I tried to restore a twrp backup? can someone with 1004 send me their backup

Do you have twrp now? If so go to reboot and click on bootloader. You will get into download mode where you can use fastboot commands to unlock critical

Well that is strange?
you used
PHP:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.key
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
right?

i bet he didn't write the command "fastboot flash unlock unlock.key" again.

Yes, i cant do it because i dont have the unlock.key anymore and nokia wont send me another...... is there any other way to go about it, perhaps flashing the partitions manually? Or can someone here make unlock keys?

Well @hikari_calyx used to generate unlock keys but he stopped generating because n8 recieved official unlock method but i would try to contact him. Did you deleted the e mail that hmd sent or link broken? If the link is broken now i would try to contact hmd first

Yep, Link is broken.
I did try emailing them but they haven't replied yet, also chatted with their customer service rep who says "This service is not provided anymore" strange.

Just unbricked it, at least somewhat. I reflashed the system and boot Imgs and i can now boot the phone though i doubt i can run the phone like this for a long time. I've tried to obtain the unlock key by using the hmd bootloader unlocker but it gives me a "google server error" strange nothing seems to be going my way. Just curious hmd says that devices can no longer be unlocked, is this true? and how can i downgrade abl?

[GUIDE] How to unlock bootloader of P7 L10 in 2018 (Without Huawei unlock or paying)

I have attached my unlocking software, if you are still on android kitkat you can immediately unlock and if youre on android 5.0 or 5.1.1 the software will help you downgrade, once you have unlocked the bootloader you can upgrade back to the new software.

Thanks, working trough it on *nix atm, i tried the method described to unlock the bootloader officially, or so i thought, the method has been removed from the Huawei web site. Registering an account was required to obtain the unlock code but this resulted in me having to editing the page to add my country number as the country was not listed to get the sms unlock code.... At the moment i am preparing to hack the device but have not currently found the file for the B856 firmware it's running. I do not want to for example downgrade the baseband, the baseband will need to be hacked a little bit in order to get Android 7.x, i believe is the case.
Rooted my system and backed up all the partitions. Everything but userdata that is,

Hello I am interested in unlocking the boot manager of my huawei p7-l12, you could explain how to use the software that you provided in this thread, I am currently with the rom stock kitkat 4.4.2 and emui 2.3 open market, thanks in advance.

This software is for the p7-l10 so im not sure if it will work for l12 but it may work, just download it, connect your phone via a usb cable, run the bat file and then choose the option you want from the listed options (unlocking bootloader)

As I can root the huawei p7-l12 the apps to perform this procedure are automatically blocked, I mention it because in the executable root appears necessary.

Hi, I can confirm that this method works for the huawei p7-l12.

Hey, I've tried to get my code but it doesn't work. I have already downgraded and when I open the Get_bootloader_code file and choose the choice 4, it says press enter to continue, I press enter and nothing happens. BUT if I disconnect the device it says step 2 where you have to type your code and press enter. Thing is, I got no code! Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong and thanks in advance!

For this to work you have to be rooted! Make sure you are rooted, and if you are, open up cmd and write adb devices while the device is connected with a usb cable to your pc and give me the output

So I am stuck with this at the moment. To unlock the bootloader, I need to have the phone rooted. And to be able to unroot, I need to have an unlocked bootloader.
I already tried to downgrade back from 5.1.1 to a lower version, but I was not succesfull.
How can I get an unlocked, rooted P7?

That is nice, thanks.
Howeever I need to get back to 5.1.1, while keeping it unlocked/TWRPed, will OTA work, or i need to do incremental flash through TWRP? As i understand doing it by UPDATE.APP would lock the bootloader again?
EDIT: never fk mind.
You know what... DC Unlock really gives you the code for 4€, and it takes 60 seconds.
So after 5 hours of downloading and flashing roms, now I suddenly have TWRP and Magisk after 5 minutes and easy instructions. Couldn't recommend more.

Ok so I just upgraded to android 11 and want to unlock the bootloader but while doing it through the app it says failed to unlock the device why is that?
Also I have never unlocked my device before it's the first time I'm trying to do so..

Do a backup of your data you don't wanna loose and flash raw file with A10 available here in ROG3 section. Then your unlock tool will work. After you unlock you can update and restore data. Bootloader remains open until you lock it again with abd or app.
