Custom ROM for OPX ceramic? - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I was trying to flash the custom ROM's provided here to my OnePlus X ceramic. But I could install none of these (Resurrection Remix, SudaMod Project, MoKee). I always got some difficulties by flashing them.
I know some of them are explicit offered for the onyx version but are there differences between the onyx and the ceramic version, except the optical differences?
Are some of them nevertheless usable for the ceramic version?

Tell us what difficulties you had. There are no differences between colors.

Exactly... Show us what goes wrongly

When I try to flash a ROM, I alwas get the error message "This package is for oneplus onxy E1003, your phone is a "." or " "
The message varies slightly from ROM to ROM but means alwas the same: my phone should be another device than the ROM is for.
I admit, maybe this trouble is caused by myself, obviously.
When I rooted the OPX, I first have had flashed an wrong version of the TWRP. After that I made nandroid-backup, but then i saw the system was dissapeared miraculous.
There was no more system installed on the phone, surprisingly. So I installed the original OPX firmware but the error when I tried to install a ROM, persisted.

Try opening the updater-script file within the zip file and remove the "assert" statements at the beginning. Save the zip and try to flash again.

If you could post your device info on the development thread, Dev's can whitelist your device so you won't have to go through troubles flashing roms.
Ex: EXXXX?

I use total commander to modify the updated script. Open zip, reach the right path, open the updater script with total commander editor. First it asks to you to choose three options, choose open and modify then delete the first row of file. Go back with keys and it asks to you save and insert the file modified into the previous zip. Tap yes. It will works and when it finishes to work u are ready to flash. Use a twrp provided into opx development forum section

[Q] Huawei U8860 Read-only file system

Hello Everyone,
I badly need help on my Huawei Honor U8860 phone. I have recently updated it from 2.3.6 to 4.03 over WIFI and the update went smoothly. So now here is what my phone have:
Kernel Version: 3.0.8-perf-00059-g3a757a2 [email protected] #1
Build Number: U8860IV100R001C00B923SP01
I have not rooted the phone at this time. It was working fine until 2 days ago when I started getting messages on the screen like:
"Unfortunately, 2D Home has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Google Play has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Google Play Music has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Browser has stopped"
And so on, and so forth. It seems that all apps and processes have stopped when I try to use them so I literally can't use the phone. I went through several threads here just trying to restore my phone back to a
working state. I tried to do the following in order but without success:
1.) Factory data reset / erase everything - the phone boots to the recovery menu then it formats the /Data, /Cache and /HWUserData then it reboots. After reboot, the phone is back to where it was before the factory data reset with everything in it including downloaded apps.
2.) Manually uninstalled all downloaded apps. Removed screen lock (just to see if phone behavior changes). Then rebooted the phone but after reboot, all the apps are still installed and the screen lock is back as well.
3.) I tried to Force Update with the following official ROMs: B886, B919 and B923 but I always get the message "Update failed" during the update process.
4.) I downloaded the file "recovery-u8860-en.img" so I can replace the "recovery.img" file . Rebooted the phone w/ the pink screen and connected it to my PC but there is no USB mass storage device mounted.
5.) Finally, I tried to root the phone. I enabled USB debugging. I installed the ADB drivers then I downloaded the U8860 root tools and rootexplorer.apk. When I ran the "root-me.cmd", it tried to copy some files to the phone but it failed. The error was "read-only file system".
So it seems that the problem is because of the "read-only filesystem". I does not permit/allow any changes made to the phone. Can you help me restore my phone?
Please.. Can somebody help me on this?
Thanks, clint2rose

I still did not find any solution for my problem. I read from this thread that all ICS versions can be downgraded.

Is there a way to downgrade from B923 to B919? I think this will solve the problem I'm facing.

try to back-up some of the data form the partitions that are full on your phone and delete them, maybe afterwards the stock-rom-flashing procedure will work again.

thanks for the reply. it did not work. I even formatted the internal SD. Re-run the firmware update but it failed. when i boot the phone, all the contents of the internal SD remains intact. any other suggestion?

I downloaded the files from both links. Can you tell me how to flash my current ROM? Because when I tried to use the file like a regular ROM (I created dload folder then put UPDATE.APP in the folder, then ran firmware update.. the update failed)..

what do you mean by flashing your current ROM? Just like any other stock ROM put the dload folder on the sd-card and start the update procedure either from the settings menu or via the boot-key-combination.
Yes the way you discribed is the correct one for flashing those patches, If those patches also don't work, I'm out of ideas, sorry.

Thank you once more for your time. Most of the thread I read regarding these patches often used the phrase" you have to flash the current version of your ROM using the patch"...
And yes I created dload folder, place the UPDATE.APP and put it on the sdcard. I turned off the phone and removed the battery. Then I pressed vol+ vol- and power on/off button. The firmware update went to about 70% installing before displaying update failed.
I guess I will have to bring my phone to a repair center. My only problem is that there is no Huawei service center at my place (I reside here in Saudi Arabia). I got the phone as a free device on a broadband package and the warranty is already expired. I'm a little worried to take the phone to the small mobile repair shops as they might screw up the phone even more. Huawei is not a popular device here unlike iPhone, HTC and Samsung Galaxy.
As I understood that your device is rooted, you should get some custom ROM and try to install it.

you don't need to be rooted, you only need to have a custom recovery deployed (which you can either do with root permissions, or by using the pink screen method, but some newer stock roms (you said your on 932 or something? last non-locked working is b919) this has been locked and the device will not boot if the kernel or the recovery image has been manipulated.
I think you will have to find some (huawei-certified!) repair-center, small do-it-all phone-shops probably won't be able to take care of this problem for you.. I'm sorry but I don't see any other solution

Ok. I will try to find a repair-center experienced in Huawei devices. I have one last question if you don't mind. Is it possible to erase everything on the phone? As in completely erase or reformat after which there will not be an operating system on the phone. I read in some threads that this is possible w/ custom recovery but I want to know if it is also possible for phones without the custom recovery. I'm hoping there might be some tool or something..
U8860 not responding

Have you find the solution yet? I have the same problem. Somehow my phone system is "locked". I can't install or uninstall app. Some google apps keep showing not responding. Everything changes i made, keep showing up after the phone rebooted.
This was happen a few days after I upgrade to ICS B932SP01 and rooted my phone (to remove original chinese apps).
Luckily i have friend in huawei indonesia. He gave my u8860 to the technical support. But the result was no good.
They try everything, even install my phone with the original GB and always failed.
The last suggestion is change the phone machine, which is as same as buy a new phone.
I really appreciate is someone can help me here...
Thanks

Phone is not identifying properly

While trying to flash custom roms to my C6833 I continually get error messages that "this rom is for versions" and then it lists C6833 along with the other model numbers. If this were happening to one rom exclusively I would chalk it up to just a bad match, but on every instance I've tried I get the same error.
I can unlock my bootloader and get into TWRM and CWM both just fine, I have no obvious issues using Sony Mobile Flasher (as I have to use it to restore my factory default firmware each time) but I can't figure out what step I'm missing that's throwing this error each time.
Has anyone encountered anything like this, or does anyone have any speculation as to what I'm missing? I assume it's a simple thing, but I can't seem to figure it out.

One or two of the older kernels/recoveries were built of a port from the Z1, and this is where the error stems from nearly all of the time.
If you get this error just open the zip for the rom up and extract the boot.img file and flash that with flashtool in fastboot mode (hold vol up when connecting to the PC) that should solve the problem

Just so I'm clear, would I not use the kernel I had before at all? I would just use the .img from the rom I'm trying to flash. This would also mean I'd need to ensure my own custom recovery is present, correct?
Also, for the curious, I was using the kernel found in the first post of this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687549
Seems like it didn't have too many issues, might just be my phone.

strange NT-Code error after flashing Genus is ROM

Hi guys,
I flashed Genysis ROM yesterday to try it out then got a few issues.
Upon first boot I got the error attached in the image.
Since then I can not get rid of it. I tried flashing New ROMs, even flashed the firmware again using LGUP and it still pops up after every reboot.
It also broke my fingerprint ability and the option was missing during setup and in setting as posted in the thread. The LGUP flash solved the fingerprint issue but can't shift the other one.
It also installed an app called Orange Jeux and it keeps appearing no matter what ROM I install. Its as if its somehow changed my devices region or something
Step 1
*Flash V10d kdz
*install twrp
*Full wipe
*install Genisys Rom
Step 2
*Full Wipe
*Flash H850 v10d Full Bootloaders Download
*Flash Genisys Rom
try, give me inform

I haven't flashed this ROM due to many people having similar issues and it does sound like it changed the region code and installed carrier bloat. Check this link and try the procedure described to fix device:

You can do this with TWRP or root file manager if you are rooted

Preview Oreo: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=697227&view=findpost&p=64948575
Yes to which? "Translation to secure pages is not supported". I was asking about phones in general, not just the ZTE. I asked in a different thread but there was no response. So I thought you might know, maybe PM would be better, or maybe it's inconvenient for you?

but non of them were flashable.. it said tht the rom was for s7.. #something like tht# lucikly i have a backup of my rom to reflash. i researched some threads and found out tht i can flash the rom without the verification by deleting some symbols and words in updater script located inside google folder... but before I do tht.. i just want to make sure.. is the custom rom actually for "ZTE BLADE S7 T920" or is it for the "samsung s7"

Hi, I want to share a solution for this as user of ZTE Blade S7 too:
If you want to install any rom via TWRP 3.1.1 you will have to edit updater_script with Notepad ++ because probably these errors are caused by trying to edit with any other Windows text editer.
Please confirm two options in Notepad ++: "Edit/EOL Conversion/Convert to UNIX Format" and "Encoding/Encode in ANSI".
I recommend to erase the first two lines in the script, use "update archive" via WinZip, WinRAR, 7ZIP (not to rezip the files, only update updater_script with the modified one) and you will not encounter the ERROR:7.
This way I manage to install custom roms because the problem is that TWRP 3.1.1 do not recognize our ZTE Blade S7 as "ZTE_T920" so the best solution is to erase this lines of code in all roms that include "ro.product.device" and things like that but in the correct way, just erase correctly and if rom is correct it will install without a problem.
For error:6 if you do this correctly maybe it can be caused by not erasing system. Do not forget to wipe system in advanced settings.
Additionally, I have the latest B20 version from Malaysia in TWRP zip, but I cannot share links so if you want it please message me.
Still unable to flash the lineage 15 Rom and somebody please assist by posting a link for a flashable file. Thanks
Hey Guys,
i got the same Problem here.
I´ve rooted with Kingroot posted by NFound and flashed the TWRP 3.1.1-1.img with Rashr ony my ZTE Blade S7 (T920)
After that i switched into TWRP and wiped everything.
Next i tried to install the lineage os but get error 7, after deleting those 2 lines i still get the error 7 just the "this rom is for "s7" this is a ""." message is missing now.
So i tried the cm-rom, install works like a charm but google play freezes and i cant delete cache of apps because the settings window freezes too when i want to click on apps.... (used open gapps arm 5.1 nano)
So both dont work very well 4 me, maybe u got an idea.
Right now i´m downloading lineage os another time to make sure the rom is not bricked or sth.

Thanks for updating, i was having problems with the stock rom after installing xposed and magisk and was considering trying the fix for the lineage rom.
I do wonder if anyone here actually managed to get that rom to work. Please update us if you succeed.

[SOLVED] Acclaim Patched Magisk - Tester needed

Attached is a Magisk installer zip patched to work on Acclaim. I can only test that it does install properly; if someone that has the hardware could verify that it actually works, I'd be very grateful. Please be sure to not have another root zip installed, as it could effect the outcome. Thanks in advance to any takers.

So might this theoretically work on the Unlegacy AOSP ROMs? Do I need to go through first boot and then flash the zip or can I do all the flashing at once?

Yes, it should work and you don't need to go through first boot. I've had the best luck rebooting back into recovery after flashing the rom, then flashing Magisk.

Does this work on 16GB only or does this include 8GB version?
It should work on both, they run the same ROMs, only requirement is Lollipop+.
Edit: I'm making the assumption users know which ROMs accommodate the 512mb models. Obviously, the ROM needs to be functional for Magisk to work.

OK, no joy here. After waiting for a couple of hours to download a ROM (!) I finally put it all together. The system hangs at the "N" screen, never getting to the Cyanoboot screen. I tried this on an 8 GB tablet because I didn't want to mess majorly with my 16 GB one, but as you say, the result should be the same
BTW, there were no error messages I detected as the Magisk zip installed.
If you can, these three things might help to catch the problem:
TWRP log from after flashing Magisk(advanced->copy log)
A TWRP backup of your boot partition after flashing Magisk
A link to the ROM you tested

Sure. I've attached the log and boot backup below (I just zipped the boot backup folder). This is the ROM: https://builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-7.1/acclaim/ua_acclaim-7.1.2-20180215-0240.zip
Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

I repacked the fix with the latest to fix a crash I see. The main problem I see is "- Magisk patched image detected", it thinks it's already patched so it skips it. I got this error with while testing on Ovation with an old TWRP3 SD recovery, please try rebooting back into recovery after flashing the rom if you haven't already (basically reloading TWRP between flashing the rom and Magisk, you do have to flash your rom again to restore the boot image).

Same behavior. I've attached the stuff you asked for before. And I did recycle through TWRP each time as you had suggested.
Your right, sorry, after testing again I can reproduce this error. Going to have a closer look, see if I can correct it. Thank you!
Edit: problem found, fix incoming

Ok, I found and fixed the bug. I was trying to check for acclaim by cmdline header, where it needs to check the name header. Should work now, and it doesn't seem to need the reboot. Thank you again!

OK, so I've got boot
But I did have to do the recycle of TWRP. The first time I tried it without and it threw out all kinds of red errors. Yipes!
Anyway, I now have questions as I'm no magiskan I read about Magisk before and even tried it on a similar ROM (to no avail, of course), but there are many things I don't fully understand.
1. It seems to want to update when I start Magisk Manager. Is that a good or bad idea, considering I'm working with a custom patch? Just say "no" or......?
2. I need to install an SU manager, yes? MM seems to indicate that it can't find any. Seems like I recall it was based on the phh su so can I just install the manager app for that? Is that what I need to effect "root" or do I already have it?
OK, scratch that second one. I just installed AdAway and it started up asking for root privleges which I was able to give it. But.....it keeps saying "copy failed" which would indicate to me that it does not have write access to where the hosts file is, so something's not "complete" about the root access?

Yes!
I'm thinking some partition fail is failing to mount after wiping to give the errors, using rm -f in TWRP settings might avoid it.
Yes you can download and install a Magisk Manager update if it asks, just not Magisk updates yet(has to say 'Manager').
With the root problem, I'd try rebooting or maybe clean installing and using AdAway on the first boot. Or try a Magisk module for it. Basically, just need to experiment to see how it behaves. If nothing helps, a logcat from adb might give an idea of what's going on.
Edit: Are you installing anything extra or taking extra steps apart from installing the ROM, Magisk, and AdAway? I'm trying to see if it is reproducible on Nook HD+ on equivalent firmware, but am having no luck so far.

Things are looking up I searched the AdAway issue and see there is a newer version that seems to solve the problem for people using Nougat ROMs (including someone running Magisk!). Worked like a charm. ES File Explorer seemed to have root access issues but I went into MM to see what the issue was and managed to manually turn on root access. Seems OK now.
As you say, part of this is getting used to it. I'm not seriously thinking this ROM is going to be good for the 8 GB tablet (for one thing I cannot tolerate the shutdown bug) but it's fun to see what's going on and try out this approach. Who knows? Someday there may be an Unlegacy AOSP 8.1 "mini-me" that will run (and maybe even shut down...) and I'll have the know-how to deal with it.
Thanks for your efforts. Sorry to have been a bit of a pain.

No, you were perfect. You provided essential information and kept trying when you hit a wall, and we got working Magisk in the end. Couldn't be happier, thank you!
