Just one last note: there is no guarantee that this method will help you. More reliable methods do not suit you, because you want to save unlocked BL or TWRP. This is just an alternative.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Tech11:
UPDATE: flashing the recovery2 partition with the recovery2.img file extracted from the update removed TWRP and i now have eRecovery! It told me that i needed to re format my data partition, and i also tried to do a restore from wifi but it fails saying "Getting package info failed" and rebooting it still gets stuck at "Your device is booting now..."
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
don't you have the code saved somewhere?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Tech11:
Well, i installed the update by putting the files on an SD card and holding volume up and down and it works! And it also didn't lock my bootloader! Thank you so much!
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Hmm...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Apparently you used the potatonv method with option FBLOCK unlocked (disabled), right?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Tech11:
Yeah, i used PotatoNV, i guess i had that option disabled
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Tech11:
Huh, this is weird, Bluetooth doesn't work on the stock firmware. Wifi works but Bluetooth tries to turn on but doesn't. And checking the bluetooth MAC address just says "Not available". Very weird since it worked on LineageOS
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Try Factory reset in Recovery.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Tech11:
So i had to reflash TWRP since eRecovery only gives me the option to download the firmware (which doesn't work) i did a factory reset but it didn't fix anything
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Have you installed both UPDATE.APP files, main package and vendor package?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Tech11:
Yeah, all of the files in the zip
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
This guide?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Tech11:
Here is how i did it:

I put the files in the dload folder of the sd card

Held down volume up and down and then powered on the phone

The update started (Without asking me anything)

Phone rebooted

Said that the device is untrusted (the bootloader is still unlocked)

Phone booted to the OOBE
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
I would respect the original guideline, but it's your choice. This conversation makes no sense.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Tech11:
I followed the "Software Update Guideline" from the ReleaseDoc folder in the zip file you linked to.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
I'd argue with you but I see no point in doing so...

P.S.: if nothing will work, rebrand to dual SIM and use Hurupdater. You will need the VNS-L3

1C432B418 - 3 files. You can download them from FirmFinder.

Use this TWRP, flash it over Recovery:

[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Zolara:
Hi, it's my first time here, and I have some concerns about a purchase I'm planning to do in the near future.

I'm planning to purchase the x40, but the seller already unlocked the bootloader and installed a global rom, I do not now what he means by this, as I've seen that there's some 'retail roms' in another site, I've seen retEU retUS and retCN which I'm assuming are official? (I think they are because I read something about official OTA support, but I have no idea.

So considering what I've mentioned, what should I expect? (I'm Mexican if any other Mexican could share their experience I'd be thankful) As in what works or stops working because of the open bootloader. And maybe also a fix? I've read that some banking and Google apps stop working because of safetynet, that and how to check which global rom my device has (as a side note the seller said that there weren't any OTA updates for that rom, hope that's useful info).

Also, I saw that lineage os was ported for this device. Now that the bootloader is open anyways, should is just boot that instead of the stock rom? What do you guys recommend? (I kinda need the ready for function, so I'd be glad if anyone could let me know if a similar feature is present in Lineage os.

Thanks in advance for reading this, and have a nice day! 🙂
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] soprano77:
Hi paisano,

Moto x40 comes originally with China ROM which only have Chinese and English lenguage and does not have support for banking and Google apps.

So, the sellers offers to opens the bootloader in order to load a Global ROM (usually RETAIL one) to make the phone multilingual support and compatible with Google Aps.

In my experience, the sellers do not left the bootloader open but relock it again (I have purchased MotoMaxx, Edge S and Edge x40 like that). Otherwise you can easily lock it with fastboot commands (there are many tutorials in this forum to do it), because you are right, it would not pass the Safetynet.

If you decided to purchase this incredible phone, I suggest you to read and follow this post by only using RETAIL ROM instead of RETEU (European ROM).

Moto X40 to Moto Edge 40 Pro

Hey XDA community, two weeks ago I purchased a Moto X40 from Aliexpress and it finally arrived yesterday. After going through some posts here, I successfully ported the Chinese ROM (retcn) to the European version (reteu). There might be easier...

xdaforums.com

I applied it and my Edge 40 Pro has all apps working fine and receiving Motorola updates throught OTA automatically.

Good luck
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Zolara:
I see, my only concern about locking the BL again is that many in this forum claim that you can only do this once. So I'm hesitant about doing so, other than that should I boot the ret roms from lolinet then? Instead of using the one provided by the seller? And which to use Europe or US? Thanks a lot for replying!
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Dariusdd:
What the previous post mentioned is incorrect.

The X40 is fully compatible with Google apps and services other than Android Auto. They just need to be installed separately after you activate the GMS services from the device's settings.

Banking apps also work as expected so long as you keep the bootloader locked or if you use HuskyDG's Magisk fork (YMMV as certain apps check for different things and Google has recently been messing with their device integrity checks).

Regardless of what is said and done, NEVER relock the bootloader on a Motorola device on anything but the original ROM. You will then end up with a device stuck on that software branch, as you will not be able to unlock it again.

I understood that device updates will come if you set the device correctly and even the OEM unlocking button might get re-enabled after an update comes, but the instructions on lolinet's telegram are clear. Check the lolinet telegram, people pop in every so often asking for help with devices stuck this way.

The safest choices are thus:

1. Get an X40 and keep the RETCN ROM on it. So long as you don't need Android Auto and you aren't bothered by the few untranslated parts of the interface, it works just fine. (This is what I did, it is the first Android phone that I got where I ended up not unlocking its bootloader).

2. Alternatively, if you do unlock the bootloader on your X40, never relock it. You will either end up with a brick or with a device that will never be unlocked ever again without intervention from Motorola's support agents (that will unlock devices on the side using their servers for a fee).

3. To get the domestic market version of the device, the Edge 40 Pro. The caveat is that other than Android Auto working out of the box on this version, everything else will work the same way (same issues with bootloader unlocking and relocking etc).
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] 314338:
Mod translation: Hello countryman, I just bought my x40, a local technician in Manzanillo Colima transferred it to the global version of open mx, do you know any way how to change the software channel to openmx? Because for that simple fact, my Motorola does not receive and will not receive updates, I have it with the January patch of this year and Android 14, I thank you infinitely if you can help me with this.

hola paisano, acabo de comprar mi x40, lo paso un técnico local en manzanillo Colima a la versión global de open mx, sabes tu alguna manera de como cambiar el canal de software a openmx? Por que por ese simple hecho, mi motorola no recibe ni recibirá actualizaciones, lo tengo con el parche de enero de este año y android 14, te agradezco infinitamente si puedes ayudarme con esto.

View attachment 6101216
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Mangu:
I am not too familiar with openmx, but for the Global firmware issue: I suspect that you can connect to your computer with the Moto Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA) tool, and it will "Target" any further firmware update available in the Global variant software chain. The firmware ZIP will be downloaded to yoru computer (albeit unzipped) without actually needing to install via RSA. Then you can have the firmware for the next Global update for anything you need.

El unico otro parche mas nuevo que existe es de marzo. Me imagino que seria el que el Moto RSA te pondra disponible. No se nada sobre el impacto de openmx. Buena Suerte!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Saumer:
how to enter safe mode If my device on bootloop state ?

is there hardware key-combo to enter safe mode ?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] leminhnguyen0703:
What I've found after numerous attempts to enter EDL mode to unbrick is that the easiest way is via fastboot. Hold power+vol up in an off state (or if your device is bootlooping, when the screen is dark) until the Lenovo logo shows up, then release it. The device should then be in fastboot mode. Type these commands in cmd "fastboot oem reboot-edl" and your device will now be in EDL mode. You can then attempt the instructions here to unbrick your device

[General Topics] ReaperBoy:
I just got a new 16 gb miro sdhc by sandisk. i also am using it in my htc touch pro form verizon which says it will support up to 16gb chips. but every time i try to put a movie on my card through usb into the phone, i get a i/o error. It also happens when i put music on there some times. What do i need to do to get this to work?
[General Topics] johnpatcher:
Have you tried it with a card reader already?
[General Topics] Imyman:
Hmmm...officially your phone is supposed to support upto 32GB. What does the error message read again? How are you trying to transfer media from your desktop to your phone? What happens if you were to pop your memory card onto your computer and directly put stuff onto it?
[General Topics] bsell1:
I got the same error on my new card today as well. However, if I transfer directly from PC into the phone via activesync, the phone recognizes the card and works ok. It is only when trying to transfer from the PC to the card via a card reader that it does not work and gives the error. I suspect that the adapter I have is for a MicroSD card, not a MicroSDHC, and that might be what is causing the error, or that the card reader built into my computer cannot work with the SDHC format, only the normal low density format. Of course, this is just a guess, since I can transfer via activesync all is OK.

It should be etched on the back cover, there may also be an IMEI label under the battery. Some phones have it etched on the SIM tray as well..

I have a onplus 9, T mobile locked LE2117. I didnt know it was courier locked and went to get it patched ( there is a tax for using sim cards in pakistan so patch is basicaly changing your imei with a device that is already approved by pta), but since it was a carrier lock device it is now showing error for the carrier lock, i cant contact t mobile now as i dont know the imei as its been changed now. When i try to go to unlock sim it says cant conncet to the server probably cause it doesnt recognize the imei.

what can i do now?

one way i think is to revert back to orignal but the device is oem locked.

please help.
