Posted this in the Nokia 2.1 thread since there isn't one for 2.3
I asked this question in many other sites but until now I got no response.
I found many sites that have it but it all of them uploaded before Nokia 2.3 got android 11.
I got two questions:
1 - where can I find the android 1 firmware (I need the boot.img)
2 - If no one has it. can I use the boot.img from android 9/10 for Magisk.
Thanks in advance.
I did not tried yet but did you tried using the /boot from the android 9? Or maybe the whole firmware and then update to 11 from inside?

Hi guys
A year and the half or even better just after I purchased my P9 I unlocked bootloader, rooted and went for custom ROM (fRomFuture - NewWorld V4) the only one available and 100% working for P9 at that time as I remember. I got this system since then and I must admit it works pretty well surprisingly without any updates. However I just received work smartphone (Moto G5) which supports dual-sim and realize this is good moment for upgrade my P9. I just took read P9 7.x/8.x ROM's flashing installation descriptions and I feel dizzy....upgrading EMUI, changing partition type from FAT to encrypted ext4..... uff... I already flashed my P9 with custom ROM but back then it seems much much easy with Android 6.
First of all how could I check my firmware version ? With NewWorld ROM I don't see this kind of info.
Second - from what I read I need to update EMUI first from 4.1 to newest ,correct ? Do I need to know my firmware version for that or upgrade could be done (on already flashed system) via Huawei official software ?
I'd like to go for [ROM][8.1][OpenKirin's RROS Oreo v6.0.0 for instance. On Moto G5 I have to install 64bit TWRP and ARM64 Gapps as well - is this the same story with Huawei ?
Make this story short - what step should I take to upgrade my unlocked,rooted P9-EVA with Android 6,TWRP and NewWorld ROM to something newer like even Android 7.x but prefer 8.x because it seems to be working much faster than 7 on my Motorola.
Thanks for help and sorry for lame questions
Flash stock firmware using dload, update to the latest firmware then flash the custom rom you want.
Hey guys,
Just picking up and using my trusty P20 Pro after a couple years and noticed no custom kernel (4.14+) or ROMs for EMUI 10.
Anyway, just checking if anyone else has done work on this before I start up on it. I intend to start with some custom kernels based on 4.14. Then maybe a custom ROM based on the released 10.0.
I have hardware testpoint but I've sealed up my phone (for now) and will be using software testpoint (via force upgrade) from now on if required.
Edit: I couldn't even find work on the latest kernel on Github, so I have added one here:
xsacha/kirin970-kernel (github.com)
Since this seems surprisingly unpopular, I assume it's because people don't know how to do custom firmware on EMUI 10? I'll write some instructions here for how to do software testpoint in a separate thread here: How to flash kernel in EMUI 10 via Software Testpoint mode | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
Hell ya I would like to help
when you have a new rom i am whiling to be a beta tester

So you are running a rooted custom rom now?
Technically you should be able to install a new custom rom ... but ... best to check the rom thread of the new custom rom you want to flash.
And stick to the recommended installation method. Usually in one of the first posts of that thread.
Hello,
i've put in the old days and Android 9 Custom (52.0.A.11.3), can't remember which one.
I have now seen that there are official releases for Android 10 custom roms.
In the various rom thread, I've seen that there is need to get back to official Android 10 and to boot it.
What is the best option for me?
If I manage to upgrade, will I be able to move back and forth between them to give a try ?
Can all of them be considered as daily drivers ?
And final question, shall I do that, of is Android 9 still a good choice ?
Thanks a lot
Hello everyone,
Have Samsung Galaxy S10 [SM-G973F] for 2 years, being very satisfied. It came with One UI 2.5 | Android 10 | G973FXXS9DTI8.
I did not upgrade, staying on the version as it came. Android 10 performs well for me.
Recently bought another one, a Dual SIM version ... Galaxy S10 [SM-G973F/DS]. This one came however with preinstalled One UI 4.1 | Android 12 | G973FXXUFHVE1.
I want to get the second one on the same version of the Android 10.
Checked with CPU-Z the specs, both are on the same Exynos CPU, both devices have the same Release date 01.03.2019.
From reading forums / tutorials / guides etc. for some days now I am aware, that it is not the easiest thing I want to achieve, on the other hand my understanding is that it is doable.
I am looking for a senior well experienced advisor for this task.
I am also aware, that the risk is at the end still on my side.
Some fair remuneration for such support is to be expected.
Feel free to reply here or PM me, whatever is the preference.
Looking forward for your support / feedback.
You will not downgrade the original firmware version in Samsung because of the BIT.
Lowering the stock firmware version locks the bootloader. There is no chance to lower the bootloader version to be able to flash official android 10 when the phone had firmware with higher BIT than that of android 10.
You can try to get rid of the official firmware and flash hadesRom Q Stock v2.0 for Exynos with consistency as described in the thread:
knox related features won't work (Samsung Pay, Pass, Secure Folder etc.)
However, it is not known whether this is possible, as neither the author of the thread nor anyone else has answered the question on this issue.
