Has anyone tried any treble based roms for the Honor 10? Would love to see an AOSP based rom on this device.
Is there way, how to flash aosp rom?
you should be able to flash anything (system.img specifically) through fastboot, no need TWRP, it's just one command, check lineage 15.1 treble ROM for instance for honor view 10 which has same SoC, i will give it probably try in week or two if nobody else will be first to report experiences, just don't wanna be first, yesterday evening already unlocked bootloader
even stock camera should be working, just sometimes require stock libraries from EMUI
I try flashed treble ROM for Honor view 10, but i had a bootloop

That's considered normal on treble based roms. Let it bootloop a couple of times until boots into recovery mode then do a wipe data factory reset and reboot.
I tried it, but bootlop again.
Edit: I am back on stock rom.
Anyone succeeded in booting GSI?

Can't downgrade my Honor 5x from B370 to B350, which is obviousely required before flashing Lineage OS.
- A lot of Guides write that the downgrade should be performed with the Android Update App, then choosing "local update". This doesn't work, because this "local update" menu option is no longer available on B370 Firmware.
- Other Guides write to put the "update.app" file with the old B350 firmware in a dload folder on the SD card, then to restart the phone by pressing both volume keys and power key at the same time. When I'm doing that, the package is verified, then the installation starts, stuck for about 2 minutes at 5%, then the phone reboots without any message, and nothing happened. The Honor 5x is still on B370.
Any advice? Have tried different B350 Packages from different sites. Has anyone a link to a B350 (or to another old Firmware that works for a Linage OS installation) that is proved to work for downgrading B370 on KIW 21? Thank you all in advance for any help.

Try this maybe
Someone posted patch to use customrom without downgrade
In slimrom thread in dev thread
"Someone posted patch" is very unspecific. How should I find that patch? Thank you in advance for any guidance.

So what is the recommended upgrade procedure for installing Lineage OS on Honor 5x with Stock FW B370?
1. Flash Lineage OS over B370
2. Flash this Patch
or is it the other way round?
It's disappointing that there is not anymore any guide that works. It's impossible to flash any older Honor 5x stock firmware version. It doesn't work with the Honor update program (local update option is no longer available), it doesn't work with power+Vol-Up+Vol-Down (phone reboots at 5% without installing anything), and it's also not possible to flash a Honor firmware zip with TWRP (Error 7).
What's intresting is that only Lineage OS warns that a VoLTE FW like B370 has to be downgraded before installing Lineage OS. All XDA developer sections for all the other custom ROMs don't mention that a VoLTE FW has to be downgraded before installing the custom ROM.
- Has anybody successfully installed a custom ROM on a Honor 5x without downgrading the VoLTE FW before?
- Is this downgrade only required for installing Lineage OS, or is it also required or recommended for installing any other custom ROM?

×You need twrp first, custom recovery then before anything backup nandroid first then follow normal custom rom flash processus and for volte it seems you need to flash patch after ROM.
If it boot bingo, then flash gapps, magisk whatever you want.
×Los say it but it is known for every ROM
×Seems @lineu94 giving the patch has successfuly used it.
BUT: some say to not flash what you dont know.
Im not responsable for what will happen.
Nore lineu94 giving the patch.
May be PM him to know where he got patch from who......
If it works, give him credits and thank him for useful comment and zip
Thank you all for your help.
The patch file that you mentioned is for a Honor 8 device.
In XDA Forums, there are at least three threads that describe how to downgrade a Honor 5x from B370 to an older firmware with the three different methods that I have all tried and described here, and not one of them works in my case. My Honor 5x is my primary phone, and my old Galaxy S3 is used by my wife. Since there is not one documented description that works, it's too risky to me to install Lineage OS or any other ROM. I can not take the risk to break my device because I'm using it.
Will stay on B370 stock FW and live with a laggy device and the problems (Exchange Email and Bluetooth) and the missing security patches.
I'm very disappointed from Honor: They promised functional updates for at least two years and security updates even longer. That was one of the main reasons why I have bought the Honor 5x. If Honor wouldn't have lie to their customers, we would have Andoid 8 on our device today. Instead, we have Android 6 with the last security update from March 2017. My next device will be anything other than Honor or Huawei.
Took the risk to flash Lineage OS after a successful Bachup from TWRP recovery to the SD card., and was finally successsful! But it was a lot of "try and error". What worked for me:
1. Performed factory reset in TWRP, and cleaned dvalik/cache, Then, I flashed Lineage OS, the ZIP file that was mentioned here and open Gapps in this order. Then performed factory reset and clean dvalik/cache.
2. The phone restarted, but landed in some kind of Huawei Recovery. Could restart the phone several times, always landed in Huawei recovery.
3. Rebooted the phone with pressing both volume keys and the power key at the same time. It booted into TWRP recovery.
4. Reflashed Lineage OS and Gapps again without the ZIP file. Performed facory reset again.
And hurra, the Honor x booted in Lineage OS

Does It still working for you? I will try to do this on b360 firmware
Yes, I'm on Lineage OS and the 5x is still much faster and I like the features.
But there is no more Development for the Honor 5x. According the Honor update promise, our device should be on Oreo today. And Huawei and Honor just stopped releasing unlock codes for the bootloader. It's very important that customers that want to use their device for more than one year stay away from these two brands!
I also succeeded to install Lineage OS on B360, all what we must to do is install again from TWRP. Everything is working
A month ago I tried installing Android 9.0 ROM and i got reboot loop after I did the phone setup. I tried different ROMs and everything had the same problem. Even twrp will also stop showing any files in the device and I need to change the file system and revert it back again then mount my phone to desktop and transfer the ROM. I was told that it was because of me not installing MIUI 10 before trying it. So today I installed MIUI 10 and tried installing lineage 16.0 and got the same problem. Phone starts going into reboot And recovery does not show any files!
Please help me from this hell! I'm hating this MIUI.

First of all I have to assume that you are sure that you have Redmi 5 plus (Vince) and not Redmi Note 5 Pro (Whyred), if this is the case let´s go to the next.
Any Miui rom encrypts data by default at least from oreo so no way to avoid this, if you flash a Miui rom then your data wont´be accesible and the next rom to be flashed you have to sideload it via adb (there are other ways).
I think you missed something here, if you flash a mui rom and over it a pie rom then there´s no way that your device reboots to system. You only have to flash firmware 8.1 from miui not the whole rom.
Start this from the scratch; I recommend OrangeFox recovery instead of TWRP so it has more features https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479
- Before to flash nothing In orangeFox recovery enable the options DM-verity and disable force encryption, you will find too options to keep OTA and others, check which you want.
- Flash the firmware miui 8.1 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603850663
- Flash the pie rom for vince (may not apply for a GSI pie)
- Flash the Gapps (if needed)
it´s all.
Just a tip; be careful with changing system of files at any time so if the process is cutted/interrupted for some reason your device could be seriously damaged.
it does. you just need to flash firmware file first.
Hello!
Just received my Umidigi A3 - MT6739.
Firmware is Android 9, latest release: N Android 9.0 V1.3_20190610 ROM
I would like to flash a custom recovery (TWRP) and flash a custom ROM - like Lineage OS or Stock Android.
This is not the first time I root and flash an android device, however I am having difficulties finding the right files.
I tried to install custom TWRP recovery both through ADB tool and with SP flash tool.
I initially unlocked the OEM and bootloader using ADB tools, then I tried to flash a TWRP recovery image I found online but it turned out to be for Android 8.1 and not Android 9.
The phone switches on and boots normally - however I still don't have a custom recovery nor the possibility to install a custom ROM.
Here's a list of threads I already looked at and tested:
community.umidigi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2962&highlight=twrp

Did anyone who has the same phone manage to do such?
Thanks!
A3 TWRP Recovery
Hi,
It sounds like you have tried all the available options and since I have Android 8.1 mine is not the same. I can tell you that just in case you haven't seen this page yet, it may help, as it worked perfectly for me.

Hey guys i have an issue, i was running Pixel Experience 10 but on MIUI 10, i couldn't update the last one so i thought to get back to stock rom, update to miui 11 and then get back to my Pixel rom. I DID A BIG MISTAKE. I installed the Miui 11 Update through TWRP without restoring the stock miui 10 rom. It worked but i had lost my Pixel rom ( i have a backup), ok then i installed TWRP at the MIUI 11 because recovery mode got me at Xiaomi Recovery for some reason. Inside the TWRP i flashed Disabled forc Encryption, but it didnt flash the Magisk, i reboot to system and after 100 bootloops i tried to go back to recovery mode, it boot at TWRP but since then, the TOUCHSCREEN DOESN'T WORK.. I used xiaomi mi flash tool to return to stock rom, it did, locked the bootloader etc...the touchscreen still doesn't work though... I can connect a mouse with OTG Type-C and i can do anything you tell me in order to fix it.. i have already update to MIUI 11, unlock the bootloader, installed TWRP and have Root. Has anyone any idea or a solution to try? Thanks everyone in advance.

Have unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP 3.7.0_9-0
Have tried to flash Pixel Experience 11, Pixel Experience 12 and Arrow v11
All of them just hang at first boot, with the animated logo. I left each for over half an hour.
Have wiped everything I can think to wipe.
Is there something obvious I'm failing to do ? Lineage 18.1-20210620 was on the device before I started.
Edit: I can re-install Lineage 18.1 but nothing newer. Do I need to do something to enable newer ROM flashes?

To check:
TWRP/O.F
wipe/format data type yes
reboot Twrp/O.F
Flash latest firmware (if necessary).
Flash the rom as instructed by the OP.

Use TWRP by REIGNZ based on A12 system_ext. You can find it my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides along with Guides for clean installation.
P.S: Near the link of twrp by reign you will also find a link for the current bugs/issues and workaround for them.
