[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] aNorthernSoul:
Is this a full version of the firmware?

If I hold down both the volume up and down button, my device just keeps shutting off.

Trying to load it from bootloader mode the QFIL software says no Port Available.

I have not enabled USB debugging as I tried installing a zip of one of the updates and was not aware that my phone had been modded so now I cannot get into anything but recovery mode and bootloader mode.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Evgeny_14:
Yes, this is the full version of the firmware!

Read carefully § 4 - 9! And do as described!

I had the same problem with the phone as you do, but now everything works fine !!!

I will answer questions if that is not clear.

(I have English through an interpreter)
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] aNorthernSoul:
Yeah, I got it figured out. It's sending to the phone now. Thanks!

Thanks again! You saved my soft bricked phone. It is not seeing the July update. Should this rom be able to get new updates automatically?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] hikari_calyx:
I have a Nokia 6 TA-1000 Prototype Phone, but I need to backup it before flashing it.

Can I repost the firmware to Chinese forums like DOSPY?

Or, do you have any idea of how to backup the firmware? Or build a TWRP for Nokia 6 TA-1000? My Nokia 6 Prototype has an unlocked bootloader.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] iammrwesley:
Thanks! This solution works!

It will flash the firmware as 00CN_3_17B, the Android security patch level is updated till 1 May 2017.

The "System Updates" feature is there, thou it seems unable to get any updates.

Probably is a TA-1003 firmware, but it is very good, better than my phone is stuck at recovery mode.

A point of note, if your firmware downloading fails, it probably because you need to update the "HS-USB QDLoader 9008" driver to the Qualcomm ones.

:good:Flash cable...

Cut down black and green cable

am i right
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] aNorthernSoul:
Yeah, I found just the green one was enough. It basically allows you to plug in the phone without it powering on, then you reconnect it where instructed and it powers on. It's what gets the phone into Emergency Download Mode so that the phone is ready, the correct drivers load and the flashing software can talk to the phone.

Updates still don't work though and manually installing one still soft bricked my phone and I had to flash it a second time.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] iammrwesley:
Basically for updates, we must make sure our phone current firmware is exactly the same as indicated in the update.zip, check the version in the "metadata".

It sure fails when the update package detected that the phone firmware is different from the package requirement.

I have an update.zip but it requires to update from 00CN_3_17A, but my flashed firmware is 00CN_3_17B, can't use it hahaha :crying:
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Evgeny_14:
My firmware was 00CN_1_320 the phone did not work.

Now it's 00CN_3_17B and it works fine.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] aNorthernSoul:
That's what mine is. Are they getting updates automatically or manually installing successfully? Mind pointing me to the update you installed if manually?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] aNorthernSoul:
According to this, I'd guess this is actually firmware for the TA-1003. That's what the B stands for. Sigh...

http://nokiamob.net/2017/05/06/may-...a-6-android-7-1-1-update-for-ta-1003-variant/
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] iammrwesley:
Sad to say, yes. V3.17B is the firmware for TA-1003 HK/Taiwan region, the next minor update around 150MB and there is no version number, hence I can't find the update.zip.

But really thanks the thread starter to provide the ROM, we have at least something to use. Meanwhile we just use along and see if anybody release the stock ROM for TA -1000 :)
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] aNorthernSoul:
Yup, totally agree on all counts.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] iammrwesley:
I had wrote to CECT-shop.

They had only this ROM, and nothing else.

They seems unaware that this ROM is for TA-1003.

No luck with China forums either.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] maroof.saeed:
So the ones that have T-1000 with april modified rom donot flash this rom? or i guess we have to flash this rom so that we can get the google apps plus the updates too?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] taicracker:
Can you guide yourself better?

What is the picture follow? What does the cable do?

The volume hold button is also down.

My phone is TA-1000.

In Recovery mode are: Power button + volume up + cable connection, in logo Android 5s release volume button still hold power button.

The power button + decrease the volume + connect the cable, in the logo Android 5s release the volume down button to keep the power button then it to Download mode.

Can you help me....
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] iammrwesley:
Coz my phone was already soft bricked, so this thread is of a great help.

If your phone is without Google apps, pls go ahead.

But if your phone is already working fine, then DON'T. This ROM security update is only until May 2017, where in fact the actual update is already until July 2017.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] maroof.saeed:
But what i understand is that if you upgrade on this rom, you can then get the updates and your phone have all the google apps preinstalled too?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] iammrwesley:
Yes :)

Just a side note, the following apps are not found in this ROM, although those are not so important:

- Clock weather widget

- Nokia music player (I used Google Play Music instead)
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] maroof.saeed:
Thanks brother for your suuport. Actually i have the Nokia 6 that is stuck on april update as i have bought th is phone with customized rom and updates are restricted on this rom as you know.

My last question is i understand the whole flashing process but why the cable with modified wires like green and black are required for flashing process, bcz what i get this is the tricky process
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] iammrwesley:
But the ROM won't get any updates coz it's made for TA-1003. We just use it coz there is no other better ROM to use.

Cable is the tricky part, just take any micro USB cable which you don't mind cutting it, don't cut off any wires, just trim away the rubber of the green and black wires. Make sure these wires are in contact.

Once the wires are ready,

1. Connect the cable to your PC.

2. launch the QILF software on your PC

3. Make sure your phone is switched off.

4. press and hold VOL+ and VOL- buttons of your phone. DO NOT RELEASE THEM.

5. Connect the cable to your phone.

6. QILF software will show that your phone is connected, if it didn't show it as QUALCOMM xxx. Update your driver to the QUALCOMM ones.

7. Select the files and click DOWNLOAD.

8. Only release the buttons after flashing has begun.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] jph1ll1ps:
so you say 'cut through' the green wire, then twist it back to complete the connection....

and with the green and black... are you shorting the two wires together or what? not sure I fully understand this part?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] aNorthernSoul:
That's what I did. You need the green wire shorted so as not to send enough signal for the phone to power on until you want it to.

That said, I stumbled across this yesterday which allows you to not wreck a cable.

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f296/nokia-5-nokia-6-connect-edl-cable-little-ones-2246357/

Edit: Also note, you need the cable re-connected to properly send the data to the phone. At least I had to anyway.

---------- Post added at 05:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------

Yeah, the phone I bought came with modified firmware and the place I bought my phone from seemed totally unaware that they were selling phone with modified firmware as well. I think it is happening before they even leave China. It's weird, the anti-tamper sticker and everything was untouched. You'd have no idea that the phone had ever been removed from the packaging. However, after talking to Nokia as I was trying to get the stock firmware for the device, they definitely were not knowledgeable that the phones were coming from China like this.

While I would love to have the proper firmware on it, this helped a great deal as my phone was soft bricked after trying a manual OTA update install. I looked at release dates, not the actual build numbers as I didn't realize you could see that in the update.zip until this thread.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] grayzyg1:
This is with Google?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] taicracker:
Am I doing this right?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] reju:
Hi. How did you come to know that it's a modified ROM? Is it because it already had Google Play Services/ Store? Or it is because "About Phone" shows TA1003 and the box says TA1000? Which was the last security patch version?

Mine also came with Play Store pre-installed. But both box and "About Phone" says TA1000. Last security update is 1st April. Can't find any updates!

I am also unable to find the "System Update" option directly in phone settings. I can only find it after I search for "System update". What about yours?

I understand that you had soft bricked the phone trying to flash with update.zip found on another thread, and now you have re-flashed with the method shown by the OP.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] aNorthernSoul:
That was exactly my scenario as well. Everything said TA-1000 but it already had Google Services installed and was only updated to the April update. This is my first Android phone so I foolishly manually installed the latest update not realizing that would soft brick my phone. So then I was screwed until this thread when I was able to re-flash my phone with this rom.

That said, I would love to get the proper firmware on it.

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

No, you want to be able to plug the phone into the cord and later computer without the green and black wire (I only did the green actually) sending a signal. Then reconnect the green cable when the actual flashing needs to occur as instructed. You could also check the post I made where I found a method to not require cutting any cords. I haven't tried that method though as I found it later and just did as instructed and snipped my green cord.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] reju:
Did you lose all your data in this flashing process?

So now you have TA1003 ROM with May security patch on your TA1000 mobile and unable to get any more updates?

Coming to your original setup with 1st April security patch, how could we be sure that no updates would have been made available later?

Maybe they will release updates for similar phones, at a later date? The 1st July update was basically targeting TA1000 without Google Play Services/ Store...

Anyway let's wait and watch what's happening..
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] aNorthernSoul:
True, that's a fair point.

And yes, flashing it wipes the phone clean.

http://nokiamob.net/2017/06/15/hmd-explains-why-you-shouldnt-buy-nokia-6-ta-1000-outside-china/

The article probably address the doubt of whether custom ROM like TA-1003 ROM will receive any updates on TA-1000 phones. My interpretion is "nope, you won't receive any."
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] reju:
Interesting information. But the article was written on 15th June. Thereafter Nokia has provided 1st July OTA update for TA1000 users which comes with Google Services and it enables you to install Play Store. https://xdaforums.com/nokia-6/help/nokia-6-ta-1000-supports-google-player-t3634454

So I guess if you manage to flash this firmware over your custom ROM you should be able to receive future OTA updates?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] iammrwesley:
This is an update file only, and can install on TA-1000 ROM, most people here are using custom TA-1003 ROM.

it will ended up bricking our phones.

You must know that you can only install the correct update file for your phone.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] reju:
The OP here: https://xdaforums.com/nokia-6/help/nokia-6-ta-1000-supports-google-player-t3634454

is mentioning about OTA update only: The update.zip file was created because many with custom TA1003 ROM could not do OTA update and get past 1 April, and it has been a disaster for a few with soft bricks.

Refer the original post of this thread: https://xdaforums.com/nokia-6/development/problem-firmware-nokia-6-ta-1000-t3640667

If you flash by this method (flash cable and QFIL software) it seems TA1000 can update to TA1003. But this ROM is updated only till May.

So we may need the TA1000 ROM with 1st July update for this method, to enable all TA1000 users with Custom TA1003 ROM to install correct ROM and get future updates.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] taicracker:
I am using a Google Translator Toolkit so I still do not understand much about the cable add-ons.

You mean: Cut the green wire, remove the rubber part and add the copper wire. Then connect the cable to the computer and the phone. When there are signals of the flash tool, connect the two ends of the broken copper wire of the green wire again?

Can you help me? Thanks ...
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] aNorthernSoul:
That sounds right. I'm not sure I did it exactly right as they are essentially making a flashing cable.

However, I did the following and it worked. Hopefully I remember correctly.

Install the drivers.

Open the flashing software and get everything ready in that.

Power the phone off.

Cut the green wire then strip it so you can easily reconnect the ends again. I had cut the black one also but noticed I could leave it twisted together, re-connected to itself.

Plug the cord into the phone but not the computer.

Hold down the volume up and down keys and continue holding.

Plug the cord into the computer. The phone should not power on.

While still holding the volume keys, reconnect the green wire.

You should see in the flashing software where it mentions ports at the top, instead of no port available, it says the Qualcomm port. I believe once you see that you can release the volume keys though he recommends you hold them still.

Click the download button in the flashing software.

Once it's been talking to the phone for a few seconds, release the volume keys.

I've read that once you see the Qualcomm driver loaded in the port section of the flashing software, you have to click the download button fairly quickly. If you wait too long you'll get communication errors and have to start over with connecting the phone.

If you would like to try something that doesn't involve wrecking the cable, try this method I found below:

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f296/nokia-5-nokia-6-connect-edl-cable-little-ones-2246357/

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] hikari_calyx:
To everyone who subscribed this post:

1. You can use MiFlash by Xiaomi instead of QFIL. It's easier to flash firmware.

2. I do have a TWRP Recovery for Nokia 6, but in Chinese (No English Interface Option). With the recovery, you can easily root your Nokia 6.

3. You can use EDL Cable for Qualcomm devices instead of peel off a Micro USB cable. It can be bought on eBay.

4. If you get stucked in 9008, press and hold Vol+, Vol- and Power for 10 seconds to reboot.

DOLBY sound is not working

just a small feedback on this firmware.

I was a bit f...d by buying Nokia 6 advertised as HK, but in reality it was a TA-1000 with custom rom that had google apps - not even close to stock android as dialer, contacts, clock and many other apps were custom apps looking like android. that ROM was annoying since location services for apps like G maps, tinder, gett worked poorly or not worked at all.

when i flashed the ROM from this post, I had actually to reset the phone to factory settings after to get the full stock android experience.

So far I have found only one issue - the DOLBY sound is not working anymore. like you can clearly hear the difference when it does, but now with this ROM there is no difference if it's enabled or disabled.
