Does 6.1 support Treble?

[UPDATE]
Confirmed to support Treble by "ali ba".
Hello all,
I've read lots of conflicting news about the support status of Project Treble in Nokia 6 (2018),
Can anyone confirm the support or the lack of it once and for all?
Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong but every device launching with 8.0 has to support Treble does it not? I guess the problem lies with whether Nokia will provide the ability to unlock the bootloader. I'm not sure if it makes a difference that this is an Android One device in this respect.

Does anyone have an official firmware available for download? I have TA-1054, China version and it seems it has a custom firmware. Thank you.

You're absolutely right, the problem is the Chinese release was on Nougat, and nobody has yet ran the Treble flag test on the international version.. maybe because not so many hands got it yet... We'll wait..

According to the test app it does support Treble, but I'm not sure whether to trust it.
Came with an update out of the box and I didn't check the version before applying it (which would have made that clearer).

Thank you very much!!! finally some useful results, I think we can trust the app, but just to make sure, could you please follow the procedure described in this page.. more specifically the terminal flag test..
https://www.xda-developers.com/project-treble-android-oreo/
Also, do you own the Chinese device or the international one?

If we trust the app, then also A/B updates should be enabled.

Already did the build props test. Returns true.

EU-version, shipped by Amazon.

Here is a screenshot from Treble Check on Nokia 6.1
(TA-1043/Europe/Android 8.1 update/Shipped with Android 8.0)
Code:
$ adb shell getprop ro.treble.enabled
true

Hi, same here. Do you have any news? Have you managed to install unmodified Android to your TA-1054? Will appreciate any info.
Thanks.

Nope, no news yet.

Can someone tell us the difference between all Nokia 6 2018 models please?
TA-1068
TA-1045
etc...
Is there a specific model for 'Worldwide' like Nexus/Pixel?
Is there a Europe version?
...
...
THANKS!

[Update]
Just noticed you actually did just that... Thanks.
I think this is an important topic that deserves it's own thread..
Would you care to start it?, also what models are sold in what markets?
That would be useful.
cheers.

Try to obtain the global firmware of TA-1054. I can provide you with the firmware.
I have two Nokia 6.1 devices. One is TA-1054 and the other is TA-1089. Both Global/International/Made in India version. I have the firmware files. But I doubt, you'll be able to flash them with the Stock recovery in your Chinese Variant. If you want the links, I'll provide you. And yes, Nokia 6.1 supports Treble. And I've recently flashed Android 11 GSI. Well, only issue was unlocking the boot loader to flash custom recovery. I never want to bootloader unlock any other Nokia phone anytime soon.
The TA-10xx naming determines the variant of the phone. The (4 + 64 GB) variant is TA-1089. The values change depending on the ram and storage size. Also newer models for the same phone we're released with Mediatek processors and Snapdragon for different markets. Just like Samsung does, sells the Exynos variant in Asia while selling the Snapdragon variant in US, UK, EUR, etc. Nokia also started doing this with their Nokia 5.1 and 5.3( if I recall correctly, not sure). So those phones have multiple variants. The TA-10XX naming scheme is quite similar to RM-xxx scheme followed by Nokia in the past, when Nokia was owned by Nokia and not HMD. In fact, their shift to TA-XXXX naming suggest that they belong to the family of Android/HMD owned Nokia and not the old Nokia. Even the 3310 (The beast) and 8110 4G have TA-XXXX product code instead of the RM-XXX. It's like a product code which can determine the RAM, Storage and Chipset as well as Region of the device.
So to flash Android R, TWRP or TWRP based custom recovery is required. Then flash any Android 10 Custom ROM with Treble support. Also flash dm no verify.zip with the ROM. Reboot to set up device. Don't add any Google account and password, etc. Then again boot into TWRP, changed to Image mode from zip mode in Install. Flash the system.img from Android 11 GSI.
Then reboot.
Follow the guidelines to unlock your bootloader

[Question] EMUI 8 for BLN-L21

Hi
I'm a proud owner of a BLN-L21 but it is stuck at EMUI 5.0.3 since last year.
How can I update to EMUI 8.0, so I can install ROMs such as Lineage 16.0/Android PIe ones?
Kind regards

Look for BLN-21
Then try the right package for your region.

bln-l21 (nfc) -> bln-l22 (india/chinese variant) = no nfc

Anyone can summarize how to upgrade BLN-L21 UK version (firmware BLN-L21C432B382) to EMUI 8.0 other than converting to Chinese/Indian first please?
If anyone have converted to Chinese from BLN-L21, then let us know how its going? I want to upgrade so that I can put one of the latest ROMS as this is the prerequisite of most ROMS. Thanks
Would this do it - at least its European (German)?

Hi
It seems that the convertion is mandatory. But some more feedbacks than "loosing nfc" would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Dont think we are loosing anything apart from NFC because that is the only difference we had in region specific models.

BTW there was one more guide to update but that will convert to Chinese version i guess. I guess it was by Khan.

Thx for answering
I suppose forcing the nfc flag to true in the dedicated file .prop doesn't work to regain nfc on Indian or Chinese rebranded ?

I've seen both guide to rebrand to Chinese or Indian version guys, I still wonder which one will offer me more Android 9 custom rom versions. If you have any advice?
Any custom roms will work with nfc? (Android 8 ones?)
Thx for the hard work, your advices and guides are still very helpful in 2021! Just bootloader unlocked and rooted a EU honor 6x. Only paid DC unlocked version get me the unlock code in 2021.
But stick to the thread.... BLN-L21 is losing just nfc to be rebranded, OK. Now any advantage Indian VS Chinese version? Any custom rom for directly the EU version?

I would prefer Indian lme because there are more chances of bricking while moving from Chinese to other versions as there are no custom bin. Once i rebranded to i shuffled easily to EU, US and other variants + custom ROMs

Goog to know about the the Custom bin.
Indian will so be the choice, even if a user had some troubles some days ago using the guide to Indian debrand, maybe it should be updated/corrected :

I'll copy his post in the dedicated guide thread for Indian de brand, if he didn't yet

Why no progress in custom development for this device?

I know the Pro version and Pro Max version share the similar specs except physically the main camera sensor. I have a doubt if anything developed for Pro version will also work for Pro Max version like recovery, ROMs, etc. I see no lead for custom development here...
Please share your opinions and views.
Thanks

There is Xiaomi.eu for redmi note 9 pro max but there aren’t any custom things because there is no TWRP release or at least I think that’s the reason or maybe it is the fact that it is quite new

These factors affects development of this device.
1. Lockdown
2. Flash Sale of Pro Max
Many people are still waiting for RN9P & RN9PM

Yes, they can be the reasons for the lack of development, but I see other devices like poco x2 and RN9P have been picking up pace quite fast even though they are also on flash sale, especially x2.

Pro Max is Indian Version and didn't got any developers still for specific development but it has Unified ROM Builds which is also used in other Redmi Note 9 Pro versions called "miatoll". It is stable enough for Pro Max go and try it.

I am learning git now and I am going to buy Redmi Note 9 Pro Max in three months. Soon I will make a device specific trees for our device and start development of custom ROMs. But I also need testers to test my custom ROMs that I will be releasing in near future.

Actually There are a few roms (I'm using pixel experience). Just search for roms using the codename (Excalibur).
Extra info: I am using unofficial twrp since I was getting error7 when I was flashing using pitch black recovery

Unofficial twrp:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-4-1-root-redmi-note-9-pro-max/
Rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-9-pro/development/rom-pixel-experience-t4158325
So if you flash that twrp then everytime you connect your phone to pc, it will show "note 9 s". You can follow the step on how to flash, but when I flashed no_verity I got stuck in bootloop. So you can ignore that step
Rom is pixel experience, didn't see any bug yet. Just the front camera didn't feel optimised. Like when I taking selfie using apps like instagram or snapchat, it would be dark and blurry.

Unofficial TWRP?

Hi,
How do I flash it on my Redmi Note 9 Pro joyeuse global?
Thanks.

Have a look here https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...-recovery-for-redmi-note-9-pro-joyeuse.56896/ and check installation instructions in the 1st post - should be enough.

Why hasn't been an official TWRP developed for Redmi Note 9 Pro...vs. older and new ones have.. any idea?

I guess it's the same situation as with Lineage for certain devices - there is nobody willing to maintain the software's port to a specific device.

Question S21 FE 5G Custom Rom

Hi guys!
I bought a S21 FE 5G and noticed that it seems to let you unlock the bootloader, apparently unlike other Samsung phones? However I have not found a single tutorial on how to install a custom rom on the phone. From what I read there is a TWRP for the phone so I would guess that it should at least be possible to flash some GSI images. Is this correct or is there some reason why there are no GSI instructions for the phone even a year after the phone launched? Maybe some Samsung specific issues?
Any insights are appreciated.

The Treble Check App I used tells me that my Device isnt Supported, but another says that it is.
I used some GSIs on my Device (PE+ and Evolution X) so it is possible.
