[XT1900-7] Please help me upgrading Android 8.0.0 to 9.0 - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
just after Android 9 had been released I flashed my device back to Android 8, because I was experiencing wifi-drops every few minutes. The phone worked without problems with that version.
Now I wanna try upgrading to Android 9 again.
My phone says there is an upgrade for Pie available, but when I try downloading and installing it, it always fails. That's why I tried a guide mentioned here in the forum. But installing that version (ab_delta-Blur_Version.27.301.32-29.11.36.payton.retail.en.US) from my SD card also didn't work, because it couldn't be mounted or something.
So, please, tell me, how do I upgrade to 9.0 again? It was a nightmare flashing it back to 8.0. It almost took me like 10 hours or so .
Thanks.

You have to flash the pie firmware completly ota does not work after a downgrade.

Latest Pie for XT1900-7 is here:

Honor 5C (NEM-L21) stuck on Honor bootup logo

Hi everyone! I decided to go back to stock from LineageOS 14.1, because 3D and AnTuTu Benchmark didn't work, just showing black screen and nothing happened. In any game did the same. So I decided to restore a TWRP backup, and I did that. It restored, but when i tried to boot up, it just stayed on the Honor logo. I tried to put the UPDATE.APP onto my SD-CARD and try to reinstall the OS, but I noticed something in TWRP, /data didn't mount for some dumb reason. I didn't think that was something bad so I ignored it. After installing the UPDATE.APP, it still does the same, stuck on Honor logo.
I know I f*cked it up, but now I want to get it fixed. Please help me !
Downgrading to EMUI 4.1 will fix it.

Tried downgrading to EMUI 4.1, and downgraded well, until it remained on the Honor logo screen. I tried with different versions of NEM-L21C432 stock roms for my phone, and only the ones with 13x worked to upgrade to, but the Nougat ones didn't. And it also blocked my bootloader again, because of the downgrade to EMUI 4.1 by holding both volume buttons and the power button.
If you downgrade, first u have to use downgrade package and then install rom version NEM-L21C432B132 and then use updater in settings to upgrade to nougat, dload method doesn't work with emui 5 roms.

The thing is I came back from a custom rom, more exactly the Lineage 14.1 developed by Meticulus, but it was EMUI 4.x based, so... yeah. It shows that the EMUI version is installed is NEM-L21C432B130. I tried upgrading through update.app and no luck. However, the bootloader locked. So, I send HuaweiMobileUK a tweet to give me the bootloader code for my phone. And sure enough, 2 days later, I have the bootloader code and unlocked the phone. I am going to attempt to install TWRP and then wipe everything except the SDCard and flash the update.zip with TWRP. I will try that and let you guys know if it worked.

Ok, so I tried wiping everything except the MicroSD Card and installing the update.zip FULL-OTA MF NEM-L21C432B132 and it worked. The phone still has the bootloader unlocked and now it works perfectly. So this is a good solution that worked for me ! Thank you guys for help anyways!

I’m confused and overwhelmed. Please help me get back into my phone.

So, I have an Honor 5C (I’m in Europe, if that’s significant), I’ve been rooted for a while and today I wanted to install a custom ROM. After installing TWRP using the official app, (I tried it with fastboot, but no success) I downloaded the LineageOS 14.1 ROM and tried to install it. This failed, I got error 7 and started googling the cause. No success. Right now I’m just confused with all the different 5C models and apparently different EMUI versions. My questions:
1. How do I know what model I have? (NEM-L21, NEM-L22, NEM-L51 etc.)
2. What’s up with the EMUI versions? I know I had 4.1.2 and never got a notice saying I could update to 5.x, so how are people on those versions?
3. Same for the Android version, I was on marshmallow 6.0 but other people are on nougat?
4. I wiped everything and am unable to boot right now. What ROM must I download to boot again? And is it possible for this to be nougat, instead of marshmallow which I was previously on?
Thanks in advance, I’m very new to this scene and all the different models and versions are kind of overwhelming me
First of all, you shouldn't use the official twrp, because that once partially bricked my phone, and you should have used EliteTWRP for installing the roms, because it required you to back up before some partitions, that official twrp couldn't, also, to answer your first question, you find it out in your phone's settings app, in the About Phone section, but since you didnt look at that before you flashed and deleted everything, I don't know how to figure it out without the settings app, also diffirent region phones get diffirent updates, my dad's honor 6 never got an update out of 4.4.2, but some phones had access to newer versions(not by flashing custom roms), also you should download some dload things i dont remember how to do it, never done that myself, but for that I'm pretty sure you need to know if you're using NEM-L21, NEM-L22, NEM-L51 or something like that

[G9730] Android 9.0 Rooted to 10.0 Rooted

Hello guys,
Few years before I was more confortable with root. Now I don't find what I need to update my S10.
It's a Snapdragon G9730.
I'm currently running Android 9.0 Rooted with Magisk. At the beginning I had random reboot issue (due to kernel issue). After years it's almost gone and I was running normally my phone.
I decided (don't know why....) to update magisk and magisk installer. Now I have reboot every single minutes... So I think I need to move to android 10 as the kernel issue is fixed in this version.
How to update to Android 10 without wipe?
How to keep root or root after update.
All topic I find are for G973...not mine...
Thanks for your help.

Huawei stopped supporting the phone, last official updates were Nougat.
For Chinese market last update was Oreo - by rebranding, you can install and use it worldwide (find and follow HWOTA-7 thread from the ROMs section ).
Upon rebranding and installing that Chinese Oreo, you can install LOS (AFAIK, 16.0 - again, look into the ROMs section
There is no such thing as A10 for this phone (maybe you could find A9 GSI - again, upon finishing HWOTA-7 and Chinese Oreo), but of questional usability

Question Android 12 Update Procedure

Hi,
I bought the device last year in December and installed this costum recovery and root. Around that time it was very difficult to install an update without losing data or root so I stopped doing it (I tried with Oxygen Updater).
I'm currently still on Build 11.0.14.14.EB13BA. Now I want to upgrade to the A12 OS.
Can someone recommend a procedure without losing root and the data?
The Oxygen OS internal update feature suggests an incremental update with the size of 104MB. I think this would make me loose root.
Oxygen OS updater didn't work the last time.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
I used this guide for OTA with Root and it worked.
The only thing is that ORang Fox Custom Recovery is now gone.
Does anybody know if there's a working Costum Recovery available for Oxygen OS 12 (ebba)?
