Hi guys,
I just left the Apple for the droid world (Honor 9 C432). I used to change my phone rom using cutom rom int the past (far far away...) like 8 years ago on an HTC...
But now on my honor 9 i'm a bit lost on the steps i have to follow to put custom rom.
My needs is to leave EMUI to an official android rom (oreo) or lighter (maybe RROS or lineage).
Is there a full guide that explains step by step the proceed to change the stock rom to a custom one ?
As always, thanks for help.

Well i just come back from my ophthalmologist and it seems that my eyes are ok.
If i ask it's because i don't understand the steps order, sometimes i see i have to backup before doing unlock bootloader and to backup i need to install TWRP but to install TWRP i need to unlock...
In the past i used to have full guide like for example :
To custom you need :
A memory SD card at least X GB
A PC with Windows or OSx or whatever
Those softwares (dl link)
1/ Unlock mobile blablabla
2/ install this softwares
3/....
Thanks for helping.
Try asking in the ROM specific threads. The existing guides are what they are.
Usually, you need som sort of basic phone modification know-how before you take on XDA forums.

Ok thank you fregor, i search on the net for tutorial i have find some to learn basics but they were wrotte 6 months ago and some deals with EMUI 5.
Does they still valid for EMUI 8. ?
Thanks
I would say : yes on the main lines, not in the details. the name of the image ( system , boot, recovery..... ) is not the same, for example.

If you're going to change rom, go for Oreo...
I suggest you begin with OldDroid's thread on how to install Oreo (it's in this section as well) to update to EMUI 8.
Then, if you want to really leave stock, after you're on EMUI 8 it's as easy as downloading a file and using a fastboot command on your computer. You have RR (Android 8.1) or AOSP (Android 8.0), both threads are in the development section.
One very important thing, not only you have to unlock your bootloader (which takes you a couple of minutes) but you have to unlock FRP (translation - Go to Developer Settings and toggle Allow OEM Unlock)
I suggest you do this first, then setup a Huawei account and go to the official website to unlock your H9, fill up the required info and you will have the code and the extremely noob-friendly instructions on how do the thing.

hello my firends! Im a new android user, bought first android phone just week ago. I have Huawei U8500 and i think it's very new model and there are very few people who have it. There's no official 2.2 or 2.3 version so im looking for ROM. I think there is no ROMs for this model yet ? But can i use ROMs which was created for other phones ? im really really hoping that someone will make 2.2 or 2.3 for this model. Thanks for answers.
i was searching for few days... i understand russian a little bit so i found 2.2 version made by russian guy, i didn't tried it yet becouse i don't how to instal that so i dont know if it's with russian language or not, but fact is that there is 2.2 version for U8500 ! Few russians tried that and it's working fine for them !
it's link for the 2.2 narod.ru/disk/4575221001/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B02.2_2901.rar.html
Im also trying when i have spare time to locate a u8500 rom . im a extremly novice user tho so prolly wont find much .
Tried to get that russian rom but seems the link is dead or just blocked .
Is anyone working on a eng realease for this phone ?

To install it:
1. Unrar it to your computer, and find a folder named "dload" with the biggest size.
2. Copy that "dload" folder to root of your SD card
3. turn off phone
4. Hold volume up key + end call (red) key and the press power key. Wait for it to load, it will say something like "Updating system" Wait for it to finish, if it says fail, just try again
5. After it says "Update complete" or "Update successful" just restart your phone and you'll have the new beta firmware.
6. Reboot can take about 5 minutes. Be patient.
Do it always while charging.
Highly recommend to back up the original firmware before installing new ROM's
On your own risk. You can brick your phone and you void your phones warranty.

Hi, to load phone in recovery mode and to fulfill wipe date and a cache. I apologize for the bad English
How did you guys download this?
The only way i can see the link to proceed to download is via google translate. And when i click it i get a 404.
/Peter
You cant use google translate when clicking! Under the android guy pic, click where it says сюда, you then come to another site, just now click on a link on the page, that will take you to another page (the sponsor page), then you will se that it will start ticking the time in the top of the window, then after that you can click again and actually start the download....

Just wanted to say that this rom works awesome on my u8300.
It requires some tweaking. Change of lcd density etc. And the screen calibration isn't perfekt. But it's much faster than the stock rom so i'll stick with it.
Definetly worth a shot.
But according to a user on another forum there might be problems when you downgrade from a 8500 rom to the stock 8300. I haven't tested, so i can't really comment on that...

how to upgrade step-by-step for huawei u8500.. i just a noob that wants to upgrade its phone. already try to root but fail

Sent from my U8500 using xda premium
I just got a Mate 10 and I wanted to know the state of the phone before touching anything: just a quick summary.
Do you have to unlock the bootloader to install stuff like TWRP? I wanted to at least root it to install Titanium Backup and remove a bit of bloatware. If so, can anyone share the latest tutorial? I've seen lots of them but I don't really know which one is up to date
Is it advised to install a custom ROM or is EMUI good enough? I was previously using a Redmi Note 3 with MIUI.
Is it known if this phone will get Android Q by any chance? Just curious
Thanks!!

Well, for me EMUI is very ok. I have a Mate 9 and Mate 10 Pro.
I used to flash custom ROMs on weekly basis (LG G2, G3, V10 & G5). Maybe it's laziness or the volatile nature of Kirin SoC and its difficulty in flashing but I've decided against doing it.
Bottom line is that I'm more than happy with EMUI especially 9

First question
-yes you have to unlock the bootloader in order to root phone( not recommended if you not sure what you doing because of very easy hard brick possibilities)
Second
-custom rom or Emui that is up 2 you, you like or don't like Emui and
Third
- Android Q is far far far away so IMO that is highly unlikely
Thanks!
I'll stick to EMUI, it's great so far and I don't want to mess anything up.

It is the rom that needs to be modified, not the modem. It probably wouldn't be hard, but it isn't worth it. Like @Simon1511 says, Android 9 is much better than 4 yr old Marshmallow.

Dear Friends
I have bought a Huawei Mediapad T8 and I am trying to find a custom ROM to flash it. Unfortunately there is nothing on Cyanogenmod site.
If anyone has any reference site where I can find ROM s for this model please share it with me.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
Mediapad T8 has android 10 - so it can be part of Project Treble since it is 8+ - it means, you can flash GSI (generic system image) of many of custom roms and no need for certain full rom.
But, I guess, you will need to unlock bootloader and got permissive kernel and probably need to remove encryption for user data before got bootable custom rom.

Dear Friend
Thank you very much for replying to my thread. I admit that it is the first time that I heard about GSI (Generic System Image). I am looking for a custom rom so I can use the Play Store that is now missing from most Huawei devices. Unlocking bootloader is not so hard , I can get the code from Huawei in 7 months from now. Dealing with the GSI is something that I can not manage to be honest. I will wait for a custom rom. Thanx again.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Actually there are more than 10 Custom ROMs available:
https://fossbytes.com/android-custom-roms/
Dear Friend
Thank you for the link. Which one is for Huawei Matepad T8? I can't find anything.
Please help
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Take note that any Android OS ( Stock ROM and/or Custom ROM ) you intend to install isn't device's model/brand dependant, but on device's CPU architecture. Almost all Android device's are powered by an ARM CPU.
Dear Friend
I am a noobie. Which ROM do you suggest for Mediatek MT8768 chipset (Octa-core 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.50 GHz Cortex A53)?
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Can't recommend any because I never used a Custom ROM: I have reasons for this.
Dear Friends
The main reason that I am looking a custom ROM is the advantage of using "Play Store". Otherwise Huawei Android 10 is just fine. Please help me find something that will work 100%. Otherwise I will stay with Huawei Android 10.
Thanx again

Dear friend,
In the meanwhile you can use GPStore alternatives like Aurora store or ApkPure or ApkMirror for apps that can not be found on Huawei's AppGallery.
On the other hand, you can install about 8 to 10 apps from Huawei phone/tablet (before US sticky fingers) in the form of backup and restore them to your tablet. Tutorial like this is simmilar for all phones. Also found some backup on GDrive for HiSuite or usb restore.

Hello Friend
I have installed APKPure , it is very usefull. About 80% percent of the applications are running fine. Unfortunately about 20% require the Google Play Services. I will stick to this solution until Huawei provides me the Bootloader Code (After 12 Months) and a custom rom is created .
Sincerely
Kostas
Hi
You can just flash GApps pico. It installs Play Store and Google Service.
Do you know if Google apps pico require an unlocked bootloader? What is the process? Do I have to install custom recovery?
Hello.
Please, can someone extract the original apk from the notes and post here? I accidentally deleted mine and now I can't find it. Thanks.
Hi there, i managed to install a google account and a working playstore via this youtube tutorial, and google services is working outside of an irritating notification which you can turn off.

i wouldnt recommend installing a custom rom that is not specifically for your device, especially if you are a noobie. the devices appart from the SOC have many components that require specific drivers. in any case, you have to be extra carefull in following the instructions otherwise ou ll end up with a brick. your best bet is to find a recovery (again for your device) and flash open gapps.

But huawei doesn't provide bootloader unlock codes anymore
Is it possible to root Matepad T8 ?
I think you no longer need Custom ROM to use GApps into this device. I have bought this device few days ago and found a way to run GApps. Just open Huawei AppGallery and look for "GSpace", it will solve GApps issue.
Hi all,
I have unlocked my device and is currently running LineageOS 16 from OpenKirin. There are a few things which does not work, like the camera app that comes with the OS as well as the notch, where icons goes beyond the notch. Someone suggested I try the OpenKirin Rom and that is how I got that specific ROM on my device.
I was wondering are there maybe other ROMS for this device? Like the one's mentioned in the article below?
https://www.getdroidtips.com/best-custom-rom-huawei-p20-lite/
It took me a long while to get everything running on this device, Magisk and EdXposed. So I just don't want to go and wipe my OS just to try 4 ROMS that does not work. Sure you have app backup for that but it would mean doing everything over almost on the device.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I am rather new to custom ROMS so please bear with me!

There is nothing like perfect Custom ROM. It is highly dependent upon the requirement of the user and his likes/dislikes. Every ROM has its importance and downsides. You can try flashing multiple ROMs to find the ROM which is suitable and best for you. There is no Custom ROM that is 100% bug free (it depends, among other things, on model, FW built number etc. etc.).
If you don’t prefer EMUI,* choose Havoc OS , AOSP Extended or LineageOS.
If you "hate" Google and Google's bloatware (like me ) only, you can simply rebrand your phone to chinese Nova 3e (among other things, better battery life, lower data consumption etc.)
Or, choose Custom ROM based on Stock with KangVip settings ( to get away from GAPPS) , stable enough to be used as your daily driver.
Availability of custom ROMs for Kirin devices is scarce.

Hi,
No i have not tried one of the recommended in that list i provided. It took me a very long time to get the phone unlocked! Then more bricks, soft and hard through the process :crying:
Magisk was not as hard to install but EdXposed was, and I also got my device stuck on a boot loop trying to get EdXposed to run. So yeah I took me a while to get it working.

AB or A-only depend on EMUI version : 9.1 = AB, 8.0 = A-only.

Don't bother trying any one of those ROMs listed in that post. I wasted a whole day trying to flash a ROM specified by that website. Look specifically for ROMs on XDA website.
