I recently rooted my honor 7 and it works but I was wondering if some one could link me to the stock recovery Img because twrp causes issues for me on boot (regularly auto booting into recovery even if I exit). Or if any one know how to install clock work mod on the Honor 7 could some one tell me how please? (preferably in english)
Use the multi-tool to do it. It will flash it automatically for you
i am not sure if you need to unroot it before flashing it
alternatively you can download the firmware, and use the huawei update extractor to obtain the *.img, and then flash it autmatically
ABOUT VERSIONS OF kvt:
2.x is if you're coming from stock Oreo or Pie
3.x seems to be only for stock Pie (otherwise networks don't work) - Oreo modem still has to be flashed though
There is a guide for GSI, but it is outdated, no longer maintained and all links are dead. That's why I'm creating this up to date guide.
If you do not know, what is Project Treble and GSIs, google it first. Proceed only if you know what are you doing. This guide is only for those, who know what is bootloader, fastboot, recovery and TWRP. If you don't, learn that first. There are many guides (for example guides for rooting and Magisk) UNLOCKED BOTLOADER REQUIRED
Guide
1) Download needed files:
- treble recovery: https://mega.nz/#F!b8RgGQCa!48TRsDcJFpaAGNOcc9Fb-A?GxR2TCAA
(this is my mirror, as original links are dead, don't know who is the original developer)
- kvt (find lastest version here) https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=303096&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC (developer deivesj)
(this allows GSI to work on Moto Z2 Play with some of it's stock features like fingerprint gestures, device gestures, pass safety-net and more)
- if you want to use Android 9.0 Pie based ROMs and older, you might want to use V7 kvt instead:
https://mega.nz/#!7w5V1KpQ!uoCMqynn5D83trvZ6uXY30S8b9rLiBlXf1JTeMYQ0rc
- if you are coming from stock Android 9.0 Pie ROM, you will need modem from Android 8.0 Oreo
https://mega.nz/file/mxhxXCaI#nJpdQ3nPnc6urkYP8vLrVb_vc_7EsnXK7MXw3U1xohw
- you may need stock recovery https://mega.nz/#!XphFEIxK!yNdHJSakfO90K1ua92SODoqd85nvwRi7h65EA8RkOuI
-GSI of your choice (links below)
transfer kvt to your phone to external microSD, keep the rest in your PC
1) go to fastboot mode (power+volume up simulaneously)
2) flash treble recovery (using fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery 'filename.img')
3) boot to recovery and wipe system, data, cache
Note: after boot to recovery, touchscreen doesn't work. Turn screen off and on to make it work!
4) in recovery, flash kvt zip. It will guide you through
5) reboot back to bootloader
6) flash chosen GSI as system image (fastboot flash system 'filename.img')
7) if you are coming from stock Pie, flash Oreo modem (fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin)
reboot
Note: If you are coming from stock ROM, decryption may fail. The easiest way is to temporarily flash stock recovery. After decryption fails, it will prompt you to reboot and format data. TWRP can't do it, but stock recovery can. After you are booted, you can flash TWRP again.
Where to get GSIs:
the biggest list is here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
For Z2 Play, always download arm64 version and Aonly
There is a folder with ported stock ROMS (MIUI, Samsung, Moto...) on mirrors.lollinet but they do not work on Z2 Play. I also tried various stock ROM ports from other sources and they did not work. Custom ROMs fork fine.
Magisk:
Standard Magisk versions may not work. If you get bootloop, after installing Magisk, flash uninstaller. Then you can try phusson's version:

I am currently using Pixel Experience Plus (Android 10) GSI, I installed it with latest KVT 2.6 and most stuff works out of the box. If you come from Stock Pie you need to flash the modem file from Stock Oreo to get proper audio during calls, as the modem from Android 9 gets bugged on Custom ROMs breaking the audio during calls. http://www.mediafire.com/file/q8nbpybxc8mjyew/NON-HLOS-Z2P-STOCK-8-OREO.7z/file
Confirmation
Mate can u confirm whether this kvt fix the screen flickering issue when there are more than 3 notifications in the status bar and does it have fingerprint gestures enabled???

I don't use fingerprint gestures so I can't tell you about that. Also I had experiencing some crashes and reboots with this GSI lately, so I will try with another one once I can access internet to download anothet GSI.
CONFIRMED
i confirm it by flashing the flickering issue is gone and the gestures works as well this is by far the most stable KVT released kudos to developers
There are new versions of kvt available. Check the updated first post for link to deivesj's last files.
I did not experience any flickering or other graphical glitches with the new (2.X) versions of kvt (unlike the old v8 one).
Fingerprint gestures work, but not in all gsis

Thanks, I will update the guide
Could someone please give me a mirror of kvt v2.6? androidfilehost is terribly slow...
Hello,
Seem to have lost my network after flashing the pixel experience gsi from stock. imei missing as well. Any help?
It may be problem with modem.
What was your stock ROM? 8.0 or 9.0?
What version of kvt did you use? 2.x or 3.x?
How install?
how is the modem installed?
It's explained in the guide, step 7.
Wrongly flashed modem may cause WiFi, Bluetooth and SIM not to work
Kvt link is down. But you can use LineageOS with treble support now
Hello
Unfortunately I've applied the lastest stock update (C08) and after that I've found out that the Realme XT unlock application isn't compatible.
So, I'm looking for any RUI stock ROM that is compatible with the unlock tool. I think my version was C07 and it worked. Is that the best option to flash using stock recovery?
By the way, does anyone know the link to the firmware on realme site? They only show the latest version (C08).
An update. Now the options are closing.
The stock recovery doesn't seem to allow me to downgrade from C08. It shows a message telling me that "the version being installed is lower than the current version. "Installation failed."
Is there a way to downgrade it using a locked bootloader and the stock recovery?
Huawei stopped giving bootloader code, my last option is to use the DC-Unlocker.
The problem is it won't work with the latest security patch of EMUI 8.
So I'm trying to rollback my Huawei Nova 2i to the possible old version of EMUI to make the DC-Unlocker work. I used HiSuite 10.00502, HiSuite Proxy, and Firmware Finder.
The problem is I have a minimal connection to download the Full-OTA one by one. Sometimes it keeps failing to install the downloaded ROM for some unknown reason and keeps deleting the downloaded file.
So, I can download the specific file of ROM but I don't know if it is possible to install it offline using the HiSuite.
Hi, I am currently the owner of the Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie ZD553KL. Recently I discovered that I can install android version 9 on my phone (currently i have android version 7). But whatever I tried, I could not install the latest android version. I installed the zip file from the official site. I might be possible I tried in the past to unlock the bootloader, but that did not worked. I think this is the issue. I tried several ways to install the zip file, like being in the boot menu, whith fastboot and my pc etc. Does anyone knows a way how to install the latest android version? Cause android version 7 just is not good enough for me.
