Do you need yet from some stock room(OPPO Find7a) and recovery image files?

While Oppo's support for the Find 7[a] was beyond appalling, there were some knowledgeable guys on that forum whose posts helped me more than once.

Hi guys,

I am new here, recently i got to know that TA-1000 is a Chinese only version and was supposed to be in China only, but somehow i got it and wasn't able to update. It was stuck on April 1st, and now it is on September 1st.

I followed a procedure by a Russian guy on this forum. I must say this site is amazing. So i made a video out of it.

Well i am not sure if i can post the video tutorial link here in the forum. Let me know if i can and i'll send you the link to do it very easily.

Looking forward.

Thanks

Mavrik

Will ota work after the procedure actually i have a ta-1000 with was flashed with ta-1003 firmware out of the box i had playstore pre installed but cant get updates stuck on april patch
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] merwyn007:
see post of quixote078 in Nokia 6 official Firmware MENA Region [ Links updated with Flash tool] in this forum
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mavrik30:
Yes you'll get the updates. Just follow the video.

I have ta 1000 and is updated to September update.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RONE1989:
After the Hard Reset (which will delete pre-installed unnecessary apps), will I get the previous UI (swipe up to get to Main Menu)?
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5T33Z0:
I can confirm that it works on Nokia 6 TA-1000. In my case I had the phone connected to the PC already when I had the flash tool open. And when I turned it off to prepare for flashing the firmware it automatically switched to Download Mode. But the GUI is changed after that. No more swipe up menu and the items in the pull down menu are way too big now.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
You can install Pixel Launcher that have swipe up function.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0ns3ns3:
I followed this guide https://xdaforums.com/nokia-6/development/nokia-6-official-firmware-mena-region-t3664441 and flashed the nokia 6 ROM linked there.

Result:

1. My phone is no longer identified as TA-1000, but as TA-1025 instead.

2. It updated itself (OTA) all the way from 7.1.1 June 2017 (through July, August, September, October, November patches) and ended as 7.1.2 November 2017 patch.

Warning:

Your mileage may vary. My phone went through few ROM flashes described below and the end result can not be guarantied.

My phone is dual SIM, 4GB RAM, 32GB storage without NFC - definitely Chinese version.

History:

I purchased the Chinese (mainland) Nokia 6 in May.

The phone came with some weird (custom) ROM without update function but with Google apps. The ROM was so messed that location services didn't work properly so applications like G maps, gett and even tinder were not able to detect device location.

I followed this thread https://xdaforums.com/nokia-6/development/problem-firmware-nokia-6-ta-1000-t3640667 to flash slightly modified global ROM with stock Android 7.1.1. It still missed the update and some minor issues like DOLBY not working.

Then I followed this thread to flash the original TA-1000 ROM https://xdaforums.com/nokia-6/how-to/nokia-6-ta-1000-september-update-t3679882 and it went to stock locked Chinese ROM that updated (OTA) to December 2017 security patch.

It was still awful experience with custom locked apps without option to replace some of them.

So I just followed that thread, and flashed the ROM for nokia 6. I Ignored the warning about different phone model and continued.

Everything seems to be working just fine (none of the issues I encountered with other ROMs).
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
I really like what you have done. I also have a TA-1000 with the December patch but in 7.1.1. I had thought of flashing another rom many times, but they say that in that case it is no longer updated by OTA. If you say that OTA really works, I'm going to decide to flash it.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kwaadpepper:
I also would like to know if location services are working ? With Google play update (I'm in France) I have region issue I think. When I bought it in July I had Google location history working. After some time and a Google play services update it stop working by disabling it. And share location is not showed anymore in location settings. And location history is greyed and locked. Everything is on in Google settings, I tried another account flash the phone with original firmware and as soon as I install Google play it updates it self and lock location history. It works on a ta-1033 but in France ta-1000 won't work.

I tried to cheat on GPS settings, not using my French SIM card and on. But still it disable itself.

So does flashing ta-1025 solves this issue ? ta-1025 is the Indian version ?
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0ns3ns3:
Share your results. OTA worked just fine. The phone updated itself (OTA) all the way from July to November patches.

TA-1025 is MENA (Middle East / North Africa) version. AFAIK, the difference between versions is in the radio bands.

My location history works perfectly fine as well as every other application using location services.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
In this case, I need a European ROM for flashing. Radio band is not the same that MENA version.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0ns3ns3:
The ROM has nothing to do with radio bands. It's the HW difference.

For example TA-1000 does not have NFC and no ROM will fix it.

The ROM that linked in my post is for TA-102x and TA-103x.

There will be no difference in functionality between international ROMs. Only Chinese is different.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kwaadpepper:
Well, I shall try then to install the ROM . As I have the Chinese version I guess it will disable NFC, and may be led support ? I will post the result next week here ASAP.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
Then I will install the rom ta-102x in my ta-1000. Cross our fingers ;)
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
It has worked!!! Thank you very much!!! Now I have a fully operational TA-1025, which has all the updates down to 7.1.2 by OTA. I had been thinking about flashing another ROM for a long time, but I did not dare if OTA updates failed.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
I only find a defect. the apps of the Chinese version have disappeared. There is no backup app, gallery, or music. They have been replaced by google. Is it possible to get the apps from the Chinese version?
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0ns3ns3:
It's not a defect, it's a blessing :)

The launcher is still some semi custom version.

If you are interested in Chinese apps, you should probably flash the TA-1000 ROM from this thread - it has all the custom apps including contacts, phone, calendar, music etc.

A small update: today I've got the December 2017 security patch :( was really hopping to see Oreo update which was promised to land this year.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Miyamizu:
Hello sir, I found ur post is interesting, I would like ask some questions if I may:

1. Which ROM I need to download, the one in the first page of this thread (https://xdaforums.com/nokia-6/development/nokia-6-official-firmware-mena-region-t3664441) or other pages? Since currently that thread have 49 pages so I confused which one I should download.

2. After download the ROM and flash it with OST Tool, the apps and data will be wiped out? Is it required to do a hard reset? Currently I have TA-1000 which at December Updates and since I flashed to the original chinese stock ROM I never do hard reset and working with my old data and apps just fine until.

3. Have you try the beta labs to try the Oreo update? Since right now TA-1000 model is unable to register. If like u said that the ROM could change the registered variant (from TA-1000 to TA-10xx) then probably it could pass the beta labs verification.

Looking forward for ur respose, if anyone would also like to help pls reply this message. Thank you.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0ns3ns3:
1. The one on the first page, first post.

2. I think that everything is wiped out - not entirely sure is I did it manually before flashing this ROM as i was trying to make few things work on the original TA-1000 ROM without success. After flashing I just used google's restore from cloud.

3. I tried to register via nokia website using IMEI and was greeted by the "your phone is not yet supported" message. If there is an app for phone, please be so kind to share.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
Oh, no, I do not want to go back to the Chinese Rom, so I'm fine ;). I only miss the music app, the weather and the gallery, but there are many in the play store much better :o

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

1- The ROM from first page. That is the one that I downloaded

2- All data is deleted. And even if it were not so, it is highly recommended to do a hard reset after flashing a rom

3- Sorry, I do not try the Oreo beta. But in the phone information, it has gone from being a TA-1000 to a TA-1025, although it has lost the name of the brand (Nokia) and it makes unknown
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Miyamizu:
thx for ur reply, the ROM in first page contain which update? July?

And is the UI change in any ways? Like in chinese variant the setting page have light blue bar and icons while stock nougat have the dark blue/grey color in TA-1021.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
I did not have time to see what version of Google's patch had the ROM because nothing else finish flashing and restart the phone started downloading the first update, and so on until December, including November with 7.1.2

And yes, the upper configuration screen has the gray bar, but that is not a problem. The phone is lighter than with the Chinese rom.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ziaur786:
hlw, I had some questions,,,

I am using ta-1000 model. with 4/64 gb version.

if I flash that global rom will my device shown as 3/32 like the global model ???

waiting for response...

Thanks in advance.. :)
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
No, it's a hardware issue. My ta-1000 flashed with a rom ta-1025 shows the 4 / 64Gb it has. Even the led works ;)

What I want to make clear is that I speak of my experience with the rom that is specified in this thread of ta-1025. I suppose that with another one it will work, but I can not assure it. With the rom of the ta-1025 goes wonderfully
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
I just discovered a small detail and that is in phone information, section Device name, the name Nokia 6 does not appear, only puts unknown. Android version is 7.1.2, model TA-1025 and everything else is OK.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kwaadpepper:
I can confirm this, just installed ta-1025. This is the best to do with a ta-1000 device it unlocks every thing and solves all issues. Led notification is working. The only thing I may regret is with the d1c ROM there is a better battery saver option included in the ROM.

But thank you for this tips I recommend every one to install Mena ROM in the Chinese nokia6 for a better user experience.:good:
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kwaadpepper:
I just installed ta-1025 on my ta-1000, OTA is working now on 7.1.2. Beta labs says it is still unavailable for my device though.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0ns3ns3:
If you are using the beta labs web site, it asks you to enter IMEI. This identifier is not affected by the ROM at all. So in Nokia database it is still TA-1000. That's why you can't subscribe to beta labs
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
Can you tell me if the phone's name shows you the device name as unknown?
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kwaadpepper:
Yes it does.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
Thanks, it seems that the rom does not find the correct model. Although that is a curiosity.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kwaadpepper:
I think this is logical, since Chinese ta-1000 and 1003 share the same device model with 4GB whereas 1033, 1039, 1021 and 1025 are 3GB.

Since Chinese has a custom ROM without Google play and Chinese services lot of things are changed in this.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ziaur786:
I also thought so.. :')

[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
I discovered a major problem when flashing the rom of ta-1025 in the ta-1000. The noise in the phone calls is horrible, it is as if the microphone for the cancellation of noise did not work. Any idea how to solve it or where can I get a European ROM? I think the problem may be because ROM is MENA and I am in Europe.

[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0ns3ns3:
I have no such issue. I used the phone outdoors and even with wind and it perfectly fine during calls.

There is no difference between the microphones in all nokia 6 variants.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
Well then I do not understand why with the original rom of the ta-1000 the calls were heard perfectly and not now.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0ns3ns3:
It might be due to different bands we are using.

I'm on LTE B3 (1800 +) most of the time.

when not, one of the following:

UMTS B5 (850)

UMTS B1 (2100)
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
I'm in the same conditions as when I had the ta-1000 rom, the same sim card, etc. Only the ROM has changed, that's why I need to do the test and install a European ROM. The fact is that I do not know where to get it from.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kakalex:
Same thing here, while on TA 1000 the calls were fine but with the MENA firmware installed the calls are distorted, been forced to reset bact to Chinese firmware
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sltushar:
This could be the reason for spectrum frequency used in china, and the only reason that nokia make a different varient for china only and same in USA

Therefore it may be solved in future witg custom roms for nokia 6

Till if u want to use the features then u may use the oreo or u can be with in TA-1000 WITH DECEMBER updates

Need TA-1021 ROM to flash. I think this one is used in Europe because Nokia is selling phones in Spain with this version.

There is no Rom made for TA-1021, The only firmware is available is MENA which is available on this thread

[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
Thank you, but, with MENA firmware my phone show TA-1025 model in Settings - Phone Info, not TA-1021. Do you think that Oreo could correct the problem of sound in calls?
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sltushar:
May be this can, as oreo came with somany new features, as i m experiencing, its a lot better from nougat, you should try it once, cause i m not facing any issue with it...

Give your feedback if u try oreo...

We will find some solution for u if it occurs in oreo too

[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wachiwachi:
I'm going to try Oreo, but if the problem continues and I want to go back to Nougat 7.1.2, December patch, which is the one I have now, can I do it?
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sltushar:
Yes sure you can go back but, it would take a lil bit longer time, cause u need to flash back MENA firmware, i know it will take time

But you have to as right now there no recovery menu in beta oreo, to do so u need to flash MENA firmware

But dont worry ww will find some solution for you

Hit thanks if this helps you

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] HaiKaiDo:
Hey There,

Got my self a certified Pre owned note 5 from T-mobile which has been pretty fun to play with. Now I've gotten the Rom flashing bug, however my note came completely updated to the latest "N920TUVU4EQG3" firmware. Can I still just flash the latest TWRP through ODIN and then wipe and flash whatever Rom I want from the Tmobile note 5 section? Or will this cause issues?

Am I correct in seeing that there are no custom roms or custom kernels based on the latest tmobile release "N920TUVU4EQG3" firmware? I guess what I'd really like is just to run stock custom firmware with an awesome kernel and I think id be just fine.

Also do the Kernels/Roms over in the international forums cause issues for the T-Mobile variant?

Also any suggestions for someone who hasnt touched a samsung device in a few years from a flashing/odin perspective are welcomed :]

I had a fully working Galaxy S3 i9300 and when I got my new phone, it's been in my drawer for a couple of months until my sister needed a temporary phone and I wanted to give this phone to her so I turned it on and it wouldn't load the OS. I charged it to 50%, still nothing.

Then I thought maybe flashing the firmware and then upgrading to a custom ROM would fix whatever the problem is. I searched around and downloaded this ROM:

http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=7A9319A15E6411E6B055FA163EE8F90B

The flash failed. I re-tried, and it got stuck. So I restarted the phone. Now it won't respond to any input and when I connect the charger to it, it shows a white screen like the image below:

[IMG="broken galaxy s3"]https://i.imgur.com/qKwCGl1.jpg[/IMG]
