Hello,
This is my first time attempting to install a custom rom on my Honor 5x. I searched around google trying to find a complete installation guide for installing LineageOS 14.1 on Honor 5x but couldn't find one that looked official. I also searched youtube but only found one in german. I was wondering if there's a guide out there on how to install this custom ROM? Thank you in advance.
In case you guys need my phone models:
EMUI 4.0
KIW-L24
KIW-L24C567B351
Android 6.0.1

I am using this guide and it doesn't seem new-user friendly as I can't really figure out how to read his instructions. I googled some of the terms like TWRP and voLTE but as this is my first time using a custom ROM, it's really hard to understand his instructions. Are there any step-by-step type instructions?

No worries, if you ever have time to write up a guide, I will greatly appreciate it nonetheless.

Hi,
I've been thinking buying Ulefone Armor 6 and I'd really wish I could have LineageOS on it.
Is there anyone working with it at the moment?
Some other custom rom could work too.
So far I've been able to find Nokia 5.1 Plus kernel sources which uses same MT6771 cpu and appears to have quite similar hw setup.
I've downloaded Armor 6 stock firmware and found ProjectConfig.mk
ROOT Armor 6
Does anyone know how to root this baby? Can't find anything anywhere.
In a hurry. Thanks!

I searched the forum and found only this topic.
Want to share this news about some backdoors and viruses, link:https://news.sophos.com/en-us/2018/10/02/the-price-of-a-cheap-mobile-phone-may-include-your-privacy/
is there a chance of someone checking the armor 6 and armor 6e for this things?
And I guess this is the only topic about getting custom ROM on these two devices. Correct?
I would be interested in Lineage OS as well for them.
Was looking into that and found out that Armor 6 is Tremble enabled, anyone tried that?

I can confirm there is few suspicious apk's in /system/app, /system/priv-app and /vendor/app.
MTKLogger, MTKLoggerProxy for example.
Thanks to @chankruze after I got root with pbrp and Magisk I was able to rename (disable) all suspicious apk's.

If I can help in any way, let me know. Currently playing with the original ROM just a bit. And it seems there's lot of functionality missing from the pure android. They definitely modified Android 9. Build number is Armor_6E_RF3_EEA_V01.

It seems that Armor_6E_RF3_EEA_V01_user_20190509 rom doesn't have MTKLogger, MTKLoggerProxy or such.
I have not looked properly yet
Scatter file has some differences.
I might try flashing Armor6E rom on my regular Armor6 phone when I have time to play with it again.

Given it's a MediaTek chipset, might it not be simply that MTK* is related to that?
Ota update
Hi,
I just installed 06-05-2019 update without any problem, but no improvement so far.
Any news on installing armor 6E ROM on an armor 6?
I hoped they would add physical button triggered camera for underwater picture like armor 5.
Exists any Custom ROM for Armor 6?
did anyone install a GSI ROM by Treble?
I tried Resurrection Remix and ViperOS, but it gives infinite loop.
Also unable to install TWRP with Stock Rom, when I installed the stock system did not start.

Yes, MTKLogger was logging atleast GPS location to internal memory. I assumed it was bad and renamed .apk file to .apkz.

Could you test Ressurrection Remix and do the walkthrough to install it, TWRP and root from scratch? I tried but bootloop. and when I installed twrp with Stock ROM, it went missing when restarted. * Sorry my english, i am using google translator
For everyone who posted, I manage to boot successfully, on Android 9 a GSI image from Treble.
Armor 6 phone is an A bootable. A/B didn't work for me.
Just posting letting everyone know it works flawlessly.

Edit- I just figured out the models listed in this thread are not the one I have.
I may be a little slow, but does this mean we can root and run Android on our Idol 4s? Also, I'm not sure what my model number is. It's an unlocked idol 4s in the United States.
Thanks!

Correct, you have the Windows version of the Idol 4. There was work being done to convert it to an android device but I don't think it's being worked on anymore. Last I knew there was a bootloader unlock available for it

Thanks for the app, i have a question, is it possible to unlock without having to pay, i already went to a local shop but they couldnt do it because i had it rooted With an old versión of TWRP

the AIO Toolkit isn't for you because we have no firehose programmer file. You can try the 6055k firehose if you want. Los16 should work fine for you
@PizzaG sorry for bothering you again, i have follow all steps but it appear this message in the moment to push the button download: " Download Fail:Sahara FailSahara Fail ", should I try to root the phone separately? and then continue with the steps of treble & gsi?.

I can't find the ROMs anywhere. I tried to go back to stock, but recovery won't recognize SDcard (other phones do recognize it). I tried to sideload the stock zip file, fail.
Sorry to bother you man, I'm out of my depth. Please, leave me some instructions how to go back to stock or how to install native LOS and where to download it from. Thanks!

Come to our group and we'll get you fixed up. You are correct, No roms are flashed unless you flash them. The toolkit only gets you setup for GSI roms, which you have to get. Native Android 9 works very well, so you have a couple differents choices.
https://t.me/Android_General_Chat
First of all, I'm really sorry if this thread would turn out to be a dumb enquiry. I am new to intrinsically customising my phone and only have been using this device (Redmi Note 9S EEA Curtana, MIUI Global V11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM 4/64 GB) for 10 days. I've successfully installed root and TWRP on my phone after having thoroughly researched relevant information. The only thing is all my efforts regarding the removal of force encryption have so far failed. I'm inclined to install a custom ROM, e. g. LineageOs or Evolution X.
1. Is it a necessity to have encryption permanently disabled so that the flashing process proves viable? Currently, I'm only aware of a method which has its effect limited to the the period the phone is in recovery. It involves formatting data and then installing Magisk and thus I need to go through the set-up again. At the end of the operation, encryption is enabled again. I have no clue why. I've tested loads of no verity opt files, none of them worked in a proper way either.
2.Will installing a custom ROM eliminate root acces (since it performs a reinstallation targeting the entire system, let alone the patched boot image)?
3. In case something goes wrong, what's the correct procedure to return to the factory ROM? Is re-locking the bootloader a prerequisite? (See this guide https://c.mi.com/uk/miuidownload/detail?guide=2, for example. Notice how each of the stable MIUI releases there are marked with ★ next to them, meaning they're locked. I didn't quite grasp the message they were trying to convey with that explanation though.)
I'm conscious that's a lot to ask in a single thread, however, unlike myself, the majority of users here are supposedly tech enthusiast and probably have encountered similar difficulties on several occasions.
I hope that I've provided enough information and the thread has been named reasonably.
(Priority: detailed answers within a month would be great.)
Cheers,
Hsjaai
Just format data: twrp->wipe->format data write yes->reboot twrp and flash rom.
If you got error(red lignes reboot twrp and format again).
or
delete all your lockscreen security before flashing but to install a new rom you must format the data before.
Thanks for your quick response, honestly I didn't expect anyone to be this early to react.
As I've already mentioned, in TWRP there's a workaround for temporarily disabling encryption using the first method, the latter one doesn't seem to function as intended - that may be the case on newer devices, according to an article I've come across.
One last request. Could you please (briefly) answer my two other questions as well? How do I reinstall MIUI if something breaks down? Is the flashing apparatus provided by Xiaomi reliable?
I'll keep you updated on my progress,

With Magisk app
I'm still unsure about something. Will the custom ROM be installed without hassle if I unroot Magisk at the beginning (meanwhile leaving the custom recovery intact, of course)? No guide seems to deem having root installed as a prerequisite. If you answer that, I'm really embarking on the flashing process.

Installing a custom rom (aosp or Miui) requires a data format (erases all data and creates a new partitions if necessary) which will remove root anyway, but sometimes root + twrp creates problems (can't mout the partitions) it is therefore to avoid this that I recommend you to unroot before.
In all cases (Aosp or custom Miui) magisk is installed last.
Which ROM do you want to install?
I'd like to install LineageOS first and see how compatible it is.

Miatoll ROMs are supposed to be compatible with Curtana if I haven't got something wrong... What's the deal with that?
I may consider flashing CherishOS instead, seems neat and the monthly updates appeal to me.

Don't flash magisk right away, check if the playstore is certified.
If not delele your google account and root with the Magisk app.
Of course, if you absolutely want to root your device for other reasons, ignore that.
***certified on redmi note 7
The installation of these should only differ (on a particular device) in the ROM that's being flashed az a zip, right?
For instance, see this guide. Could that be deemed to be applicable to any custom ROM?

Install the right TWRP
Be sure you have the right firmware.
If not flash it.
1)Twrp wipe format data write yes reboot twrp(if error reboot twrp and format again).
2)flash rom
3)reboot system
v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is a turkish rom(android 10)
V12.0.2.0.RJWMIXM is a global rom(android 11)Firmware base for AOSP
It is better to use Miflash and install TWrp after.(dont relock the bootloader).
Are you sure v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is the Turkish version? I thought it was EEA (the one tweaked for European countries). Installing the Global version seems alright, but why does the MIUI version has such a great effect on the outcome of the flashing?
Is that because both Cherish OS and the Global version are AOSP-based?

No, ROM can depend from device to device even if it is in the same model range (Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50 and A8-50L) using an inappropriate rom may brick your phone or malfunction
