The unlock is no longer possible after the August update without downgrading. There's a workaround though:

Since your device is already unlocked, you can root it and then write the old abl and xbl from the stock B2N firmware.

Once you downgrade the abl and xbl, then you can go back to download mode and unlock critical using the same unlock key.

After that you can flash the device using OST LA to revert to full stock ROM.

Dear Igor,

From what I have experienced, the Nokia X6 which shows as Totoro is a converted unit, but flashed with a custom firmware. That is the reason why it does not receive software updates. So, if you unlock the bootloader, then you can install the official WW firmware which will receive OTA updates. I can confirm that it will even receive the Android Pie update.

Here's a roadmap:

Unlock the bootloader - All Totoro devices that I have seen run the July security patch. So, unlocking the bootloader will be an easy task by using the unlock key. You can buy the key here. Download the WW ROM & flash it - With an unlocked bootloader, you can flash the phone yourself. So, use OST 6.0.4 to flash the official WW ROM. Do not use OST 6.1.2 as it will not work. Wipe data/factory reset - After installing the WW firmware, you need to do a factory reset from the recovery mode. This is needed to wipe all data from the device, which can sometimes prevent the phone from booting up.

Let me know how that goes :) This is only for the 4GB RAM variant. The 6GB variant cannot flash this ROM.

It should not have been saved since you did not create an account to link it to.

Thanks for helping, it worked

Hi @singhnsk , well basically after 1 month from when I bought the phone and exactly when I upgrade the Android to Oreo 8.0, I noticed that the wifi switcher stopped responding, so I was like should I downgrade or something? and I wasn't aware of the fact that it was just an upgrade issue, since it didn't come right away, so I started diving into the Nokia 8 flashing forum and read about the tools provided at that moment and I happened to use the OST tool, at first I've downgrade to 7.0 then try to upgrade to 8.0 but with no success, the same issue still causing errors, and that alone starts to frustrating me since being able to connect to the internet is something I cannot just close my eye on, so I happened to find a thread about a new OTA zip, I'm not sure if it was the June patch or the August one, all I remember is that once I tried to flash it using the traditional recovery mode it stops working, and then after awhile of butchering the phone and trying different versions of nb0 using OST tool v6.0.4 and v6.1.2, I have officially brook my phone and right the only thing I see over and over is the download mode screen with the "POWERED BY android" in the center, right know it will hit approximately 4 months, so I started loosing interest in fixing until I got the fastboot working again by accident, and I'm hopping I can fix my phone by your help!

I've installed the Global 8.1 using the instructions provided in this post first and then downloading another image from here and side loading it (I think it was 'Rollback WW 2.13B Android 8.1 April 2018').

I personally did not unlock the bootloader, but the retailer I bought the phone from says they have 'root & flash to global Version' although when I got the phone the default language (for example notifications) were in Chinese, and the device showed CN in the build.

With the Google Services - whether I try to open the Play Store or login to a Google Cloud account it just gets stuck on 'Checking info...' and sometimes says there's a problem connecting (the internet connection is working fine since I can browse the web without a problem). I also looked at some logs using some tip I've found here and the logs show a connection error, something like 'unable to connect'

Given all the details above, and the information you've mentioned:

In your opinion should Google Services be working without a problem in this case? What would you recommend trying next? Is there a way to verify whether the phone is unlocked/rooted? How do I check what's the current phone SKUID?

Many thanks for all your help

Computers are great place to backup messages ,open the USB debugger on your phone , and connect your LG to computer, don't forget to download a data transfer app on your computer , which can transfer messages to computer for you.

Told as you suggested and sorted it out with this : http://www.android-rescuer.com/transfer-messages-from-android-to-computer.html

Try this, and you'll be able to complete all the programs in less time.

@aks The only thing I can probably say in this regards is to try and flash the stock (factory) software using OST. For it to work, you will need to unlock the bootloader. If that does not solve it, it would be a likely hardware issue with the modem.

Hi, were you able to connect to your server earlier? It seems like there's is an issue on the server side. Ensure that you are using the correct values for server address and your server is set to accept incoming connections at the port you are trying to connect to.

The Android One smartphones use the messaging app developed by Google. So, certain features may not be as evolved as you find in 3rd party text/SMS applications or on phones sold by other OEMs. Let's see if I can help you here:

Enable SMS Delivery Reports: I am using Google's Android Messaging app, which I believe is the one shipped with the Android One smartphones. If not, the setup might differ slightly:

Open Messages. Go to settings by tapping the 3 dots at the top right and choosing Settings. Tap on advanced and enable the toggle next to "Get SMS delivery reports".

Now compose a new SMS and send it to one of your contacts. A toast notification should appear at the bottom of the screen when the text gets delivered to the recipient.

Manually check for delivery report Simply open the contact's chat window and tap on the text message. Please note that you just need to make a single tap and not tap and hold. When you do this, the field should expand a bit and show you the delivery details.

Thanks for posting a detailed guide on this. This is really helpful.

You will need to make use of the "Do not disturb" mode to stop the phone from vibrating when you do not want it. Turning the ringer to zero always puts it in "vibrate-only" mode. I hope that helps 🙂
