Hello all, I have a problem with my tablet Huawei MediaPad M6 10.8,
I cannot update the tablet to Harmony OS, I have tried literally all the methods on the Internet, and no method worked for me.
Finally, I formatted it, it may be the solution, but unfortunately, even formatting was not the solution.
The device model is (SCM-AL09) and it works with the latest version (11.0.0.185),
What frustrated me the most is the lack of a device section in the forum haha, please help
Me too ,,if you know any way or if we can grab the update file and update manually

It's bad, I didn't expect to regret my purchase of the device compared to its price at the time with the features it offers, and now, I started to feel very disappointed and knew that whatever the specifications and whatever the price, I would not buy anything except from a popular brand and a wide community.
It's not what you get for the price, it's what you get after you buy it, which is support, whether from the community or otherwise.
Still! No way to update it or I'f anyone can grab update file and annually update it

Hi guys,
So i would love to purchase a Nokia N1 but it seems that the Taiwanese version is ultra rare and I really need google play services.
Anyway I have been looking on the forums and its been a long time since I have flashed anything and I am a bit scared about all the horror stories of bricked N1's and the lack of very clear noob guides on how to convert to Tawienese firware and actual have it working without issue.
Can any one tell me if it is worth purchasing the chinese version and will I actually be able to get it play services working or is it too much of a hassle for a noob and still too unstable when flashed?
I also wondered if the packaging label for the taiwan model differs from the chinese model? Is the Taiwanese model manufactured in Shenzhen or in Taiwan?
I have a picture of the label of the one I was going to purchase but I think it may be chinese version....
Any info and help identifying it would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks
ship with Android 5.0 can flash Taiwanese version even if it is Chinese version.
I cannot recommend at buying Nokia N1. Device itself is fantastic but I cannot say the same about software. If you get the Chinese version with Android 5.1.1 (very likely) there is no way to downgrade it to previous 5.0 Android version that can be rooted. Without root there is no Google Play. There are some guides how to downgrade 5.1.1 version to 5.0 but you will only brick your device if trying any of those methods. There is almost zero community support for Nokia N1 and because of this I don't believe we are ever going to see a root for newer Android 5.1.1 version.
If you need Google Play (Android device without Google Play is a crap) please do yourself a favor and buy something else like Samsung Galaxy S2 8.0

Thanks for the info. I ended up finding a real nokia N1 on eBay from taiwan with Googleplay services installed, so all good. Don't need root so think I will just update normally through OTA. Should be OK I think. I agree chinese one looks like too much hassle.
Hi all new to the forum, looks like a great place to get help and support for android tablets and phones.
I have Huawei MediaPad M2-A01w. Great little tablet had it for the last 11 months or so with no problems at all
Yesterday i decided to do a clean install of the firmware and accidentally flashed the chinese rom meaning I have an app call HiApp instead of google play and youtube is the chinese version.
I have tried the western europe firmware (I'm in the UK) and it says Version Check failed. Software install failed. Incompatibilty with current version. Please download the correct update package.
Is there anyway I can recover this unit or is it bricked.
Regards
Hard to look up something. There is a chance going the way I described in my thread about the stock ROM for M2-A01L LTE variant, called dload variant.
But you'd need the appropriate ROM. The current one for your specific device would be M2-A01wV100R001C100B008CUSTC100D001. Unfortunately it is only available on a payed service portal, as are many stock ROMs nowadays.

There is a way to unbrick your tablet. Let me know if still interested.
Sorry for the dumb Question but can i install the bnd-l21 on the bnd-al10 version?
Firmware bnd-l21 on bnd-al10 band?
Have the same thing going here. Have you figured out what's the deal with that? Ive went on a 2 day Google hunt and kinda gave up. If you have learned anything about it, please clue me in. Thank you.
I purchased an honor 7x from geekbuying and it was the bnd al10 phone but it is running the bnd l21 firmware so it must be possible. My concern is now around getting updates for the firmware as I haven't had any OTA updates whatsoever since purchasing the phone in December. I'm in the UK by the way.
I bought it from Amazon.in, but since no update after buy, still on B101, please help , model: BND-AL10
IN my device its written BND- AL10 as model, but here why telling as L-21/L-22 /L-34 whats the relation
My config: Honor 7X, Ram 4GB, Rom: 32 GB
Has anybody tried to stuff an updated AL10 or L21 software on this from the Firmware Finder APP? I have the same thing, L21***B101 inside an AL10 device. No effin' update whatsoever since crap knows when.
Looks like you guys need to get in touch with huawei/honor website(hihonors). Let them know the software's wrong for your model. Maybe they can look up your model by serial no.

I already posted there long ago and not a single response was produced.
Also
I also purchased the BND-L21 from China (Aliexpress) (says AL10 on tag but L21 internal) and no updates. I asked Aliexpress about the difference between AL10 and L21. They said they converted my phone from the AL10, Chinese version to the L21 international version so I guess they're identical. I contacted Huawei and they said I would be getting an update over the next couple months and to check for it every few days. Even though I've only had the phone a short time, I'm very impatient to get the update. Does anyone know where to manually get it?
Full firmware is not available from my knowledge

I think that the full firmware is not still available to download for Honor 7X (I saw many guys complaining about it in the community). If the full firmware is available it will be possible to flash your device.

On the contrary, I contacted Huawei support and they told me that the seller altered the software. They said that the seller installed a custom-ROM on my phone that's why it's not getting an update. The AL-10 model is only for China. I'm finding it hard to believe though. That the seller will alter this software.
What about your phone packet?

Was the packet opened when you got the device in hand?
Yes
Yes, my phone package had been opened. I asked Aliexpress about that and they said they needed to do that to replace the A10 (chinese) version with the L21 (international) version.
I found a site online where I can get the files to do a manual update. They won't let me post the link here (yet). If I don't get an automatic update within the next week or two I may go ahead with this. I really want the gyroscope to work!

Did you tried it already?
Also, I was playing with huawei firmaware finder app. And found Oreo update there but checksum wont match. But when I changed phone version to some other AL-10 it said checksum matches phone. Is it safe to proceed? Did anyone tried that?

Hi xdaforum users,
I'm a newbie here so apologies in advance as I'm not into modding phones or have done rooting before, so my knowledge is limited. I am looking to get an overall understanding about getting a device from another region.
So currently I'm interested in the 7x and have a few questions in regards to the device as it is not released in my country, nor will it ever. Only Huawei is available and not its Honor brand in my country.
So here are the questions:
- If I can use it in my country, will I be able to receive OTA updates, security patches, etc even though I wont be in India and in another region?
- As the device is setup for India market, Google Play store be set by default to India region. How can it be changed to support my country upon first set up of the device?
- The Indian model is BND-L22 which was rebranded from the BND-AL10 version. Research online have some retailers selling a Global version of the phone which receives OTA updates, etc, now which model version of the 7x is this?
Thanks in advance for the knowledge sharing, it's much appreciated.
BND AL10C675 is the Indian variant.

If you are looking for budget midrange devices, Honor 7x is very good. However for a person interested in rooting and flashing custom roms, this phone is a strict NO NO as of now.
The main reasons are so many variants with different firmware which can brick if flashed on another variant (which I did on my honor7x and had to get motherboard replaced before service centre could flash original stock) and lack of stock roms on all the variants.
Lack of any service centre in your country is another disadvantage if you are into flashing etc.
Now coming to your questions:
1. The indian variant is not BND-L22 but BND-AL10C675 which currently has zero firmware support or downloads from honor although two OTAs have come so far. No faceunlock yet. Only gyroscope was enabled etc..
2. Google play store should work anywhere if you buy the Indian version. I guess the Chinese version lack playstore. Indianversion and International versions have it.
If you are into flashing roms etc. and would like to get a device from India, I would suggest two phones in similar price range which has plenty of ROMs to try and excellent hardware.
1. Oneplus X
2. Lenovo Zuk Z2 plus
I have personally used both and have flashed innumerable ROMS on both. In fact, the OnepusX stock firmware had a kernel issue, it randomly rebooted, which I could fix usinga boeffla kernel and AOSP rom.
Both come with topend snapdragon 800 series (801 and 820 respectively) and blazing speeds.
I gave away both (still near me, used by my brothers) and went to Honor only because of 18:9 aspect ratio. The fingerprint reader too is the fastest in Honor7x. Far accurate and faster than Mi A1.
Infact most the features we get only after rooting and custom rom are pre-built into the honor stock firmware. 90% of the bloatware that came can be uninstalled too like games etc.
You may ask then why I tried custom ROM on honor 7x, that's because I am an enthusiast. I love these developers who try to bring future into the present (For eg. last dec itself, I was using oreo 8.1 on oneplus X).
All the best!:good:
Thanks for response, yes the Honor brand has caught my attention, more so over the others. Sorry to hear about your 7x, atleast its all working again
I e-mailed honor support and got this information in regards to some of the questions to get an idea. I'll summarize.
As quoted by Honor support in italics:
7X Model Version for India:
- Honor 7x >> Bond-L22B (32GB), Bond-L22C (64GB)
(I believe it says BND-AL10 on the box, what does your device box and phone say?)
OTA Updates: and Google Playstore:
- we are sorry to inform you that you will not get OTA software update of Indian devices in out of India
- you may contact to respective country support for information regarding load Google play store.
- we are unable to provide any software updates from India to South Africa and Google Play Store would be set on by default to India.
(Yes Playstore is international, however as above they say its set to India, then in my country I will not be able to get apps native to me. Is there any way of changing region on the playstore for my region?)
For me, I'd prefer to keep the original firmware all be it of a region that the device will be kept up to date with, no matter where in the world I am as well the correct region playstore.
Thanks for the other suggestions of devices, however if I was to decide on another device it would have been the honor 9 lite. lol of which I would be left with the above questions still.

Hey Rom,
Any thoughts on the responses I received and pasted in the above thread from Honor India?
Thanks
Ok so I was unfortunate enough to buy the Honor 7X US model in Pakistan (blame my shopkeepers I guess)
Now that that's out of the way, what I am hoping for is a root method that works on this model first and foremost and as for the update, I am well aware waiting for it is pointless since its not supposed to be in Pakistan, I also tried the Firmware finder app, no luck. Can something like this happen; someone who owns this model in the US makes an image file from their phone and uploads it?
If not, the root will be highly appreciated, but do inform me if a stable custom OS is available since I am rooting anyway.
