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.

Actually there are more than 10 Custom ROMs available:

Dear Friend
Thank you for the link. Which one is for Huawei Matepad T8? I can't find anything.
Please help

@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 .

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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZVF9W-H228
The only thing is i don't know if i can upgrade firmware with out losing google apps again i'm on firmware 10.0.1
How to unlock the bootloader?

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.

Dear Experts,
I have just got a brand new Oppo R5, model no. R8107 including Color OS v2.0.1 what is made for Chinese market. It is totally unworthy to use.
I need to install a international custom ROM for it. Please help me to make it out.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

I will produce a guide after full tests
What I don't understand is the reason why an Oppo R5 is there even if there is no development so far...
Too all those wishing to change their Chinese R5 to the international R8106 rom
Hi this is exactly what happened to me. I did manage however to completely reflash the phone as an international r8106 instead of being the Chinese variant thus removing all Chinese applications and characters on the phone which was more oriented to the Chinese market.
Here's how to do it:
1. Root your phone you using forceroot
(www3.zippyshare.com/v/ylWtMVbd/file.html)
2. Install the Rashr application from the market (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...r+apk&pcampaignid=APPU_1__Vw_VrCYDoPteZ-2grgE)
3. Download the r8106 stock recovery
(community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=41920&extra=)
4. Flash the recovery with rashr
5. Download Color OS v.2.0.1i
(community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=41914)
6. Reboot your phone into stock recovery (now r8106 recovery)
7. Wipe data and catch
8. Install zip (navigate to where your downloaded ROM is)
9. Flash the ROM
10. Reboot
11. Once rebooted you may get a notification saying "NV BACKUP FAILED" if this happens, simply dial *#268# on your phone's keypad and calibrate your nv parameters.
12. Enjoy :good:
* This is optional but you can also now re-root your phone using forceroot as previously mentioned and install twrp (https://dl.twrp.me/r5/) which will allow you to make a backup.
** Finally, this goes without saying but i'll say it anyways, this is completly at your own risk! I'm not responsible for any damages you do to your phone or if these instructions don't work for you. So its expected that you fully understand the complexities of flashing prior to doing this. Otherwise you may run a real risk of bricking your phone and making it completly useless.
Good luck and I hope this post helped someone.
I did everything you said. I managed. all is well, but stopped working GPS. may you know how to fix it?
Hi! I want to know if its Possible to use Boot Manager Pro (available on Play Store) or some other app or any way that might Help me in installing multiple custom/Official ROMs on Octane Plus without having to format other/previous ROM.
I like many custom ROMs that are out there for this mobile, I heard about this app called Boot Manager Pro and I'm very much interested if I can to something Like this on Octane Plus or Not?
Also I'm using ROEHSOFT RAM Expander which helped me extend RAM on this mobile which usually don't work on many other Androids, Currently I'm Using "Vibe_v2.0_1501_by_himura2051" ROM which is the fastest ROM I've experienced yet and i also very much want to know If its possible to upgrade this mobile to Android 5.0 Lollipop or not because somewhere i found article regarding Custom Lollipop ROM here for this mobile - lollipop-lollipop.org/2014/12/karbonn-titanium-octane-plus-6219.html, but I tried everything i could think of to download it it, but i Could not.... IS IT FAKE? so anyway I'm hopping it might also be possible to use Multiple ROMs on this mobile.
Plz HELP!!! Mighty XDA-Developers. (You Guy's are my only hope it seems)
Thanks.

1. I tried using Boot manager pro, it does not officially supports this phone. So we have to manually enter the block sizes etc. This can be found using 'readback' function in SP Flash tool. Will try that later and report the result.
2. Lollipop-lollipop.org is fake. No 5.0 yet.
3. Official lollipop update - no idea, may or may not come. And even if it comes, will be quiet late.
4. Unofficial - somebody needs to compile a custom kernel from source.

I see, I don't really understand the concept of block size, yes i saw it in lite version of this app, yup it was something like that...
Good Luck! I'm eagerly hoping u get good results, I'll also try what 'readback' u mentioned on SP Flash.
Uh-i see so no lollipop , i think most probably it won't get Official Android L Rom, But i wish somebody/anybody unofficially customizes/build any Android L ROM suitable for octane plus.
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.
Hi All,
Greetings,
Is it possible to get stock android in our RN4 Snapdragon version. I would like to have clean(stock Android) and top of that rooted device to unlock and use some of the features.
Please Assist/guide me further (Don't like the bloatware from MIUI). any related ROM's without bug also would help me . just route some of the links(Along with installation guide).
Thanks
i can't help you but...
what you are asking is relative easy to achieve but you have to understand that this may have brick your device so if your are goin to make this mod to your device do it at your own risk.
1- you need to know what version of RN4 you have (mediatek or snapdragon) so you can flash the propper custom rom.
2- you'll have to unlock your bootloader, you can google: "how to unlock bootloader for redmi note 4" it's very easy with the propper files, maybe you 'll have to wait 70 hours for xiaomi to give you permission to unlock the bootloader.
3- you'll need to flash a custom recovery. I use twrp official for RN4, but others use orange fox recovery. Both do the same job so it is your choise.
4- stock android`s "feel" is mostly made by a AOSP custom rom. so search wich one likes you and try it (only those wich are made for your chipset).
5- also opengapps need to be flash, at least nano version in order for google plays services to work.
6- maybe you like to flash magisk for root access and magisk hide for several apps that work with safety pass
7- enjoy
hope you can make it, all the process is really easy and feels great to have a 4 years old device running latest android a nd the latest security patch update.
ps. don't forget to install all the propper drivers for your device.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to install gms on huawei p50 series European version, especially p50 pocket. I tried several methods, but all require or a downgrade, quindo you must necessarily own a p40 series or in any case in previous model that has come out of the factory with previous versions of emui, or a Chinese version of the device with harmony OS installed is required or finally to convert your device to a Chinese version, but for this procedure a downgrade to emui 11 or 10 is still required, which as mentioned before is impossible for the p50 series. Obviously huawei does not provide codes for unlocking the bootloader, so I am looking for an alternative way. As soon as a method for installation is found, it will be posted here. If you have medotes kindly post them
As far as I know P50 x started with EMUI 12. That's why you will not find a ROM to downgrade.
It seems that there is a custom ROM out for the pro but not for the pocket.
I just made another thread in this subforum to ask if someone can confirm that P50 harmony OS checks the phone model and refuses to run on the global version. Otherwise looking for HarmonyOS stock ROM and installation via TWRP could be an option.

The basic problem is that huawei does not allow unlocking the bootloader, not providing more codes since 2018. If you know alternative methods to unlock the bootloader, then install twrp and flash rom, you could write them here and I will be happy to try them
I state that I'm looking for solutions for native installation of gms, so 'gspace' or other emulation apps will not be good

How can I convert my p50 pocket eu to Chinese version? I tried several methods but with poor results
I think it's not possible for P50x.
It appears that in opposite to P40x they check now the smartphone model so that China ROM won't be available to install for an EU modell.

Yes, I knew. To convert the smartphone to Chinese version you need to downgrade to emui 10, which however you can not run on p50x as their factory os is emui 12.
That's why I opened this discussion to search or work on medotes for the native installer of gms on p50x eu.
Thank you for your reply.
