this phone has fbe enabled by default, you can never expect an official twrp or even an unofficial one without a custom kernel which some may consider bad for security which is bollocks because you can never get the best of both worlds we aren't in 2200.

TWRP doenst work with replaced mainboard

Hey XDA-Community
I sent my phone to oneplus for repairing it. They wrote that as solution for my problem (speakers didn't work) they just replaced the mainboard. But now I'm unable to install TWRP persistently. After every reboot I get the stock recovery. Furthermore if I'm in TWRP wich I just booted from fastboot I can't install anything. If I want to flash SuperSu it says errors like: "Unable to find partition size for '/boot'" (also other partitions like '/recovery', '/misc'...) then in the console the folowing error gets displayed: "Unable to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)" this continues with all the other partitions, and then (obviously) SuperSU doesn't get installed. I have attached a screentshot about my phone info. Do you have any idea how I can fix this? Do you need any further information? Feel free to ask.

I did that (I hope a least) but the ROM just shows it's boot screen. The ROM I used is that one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/development/rom-xperience-11-1-t3507588 do you think I should try the official ROM: http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-x/oneplus_x_oxygenos_3.1.4/

I did that, and tried it for a few days. But unfortunately most of my Apps crash all the time, or after a few minutes. Sometimes I cant, lock or unlock my screen and root with SUperSU just disapperes sometimes Sadly this custom rom is very unstable. Is there maybe ANY way I cold just flash the Android 6 stock ROM on it and root it with anything? I really don't care what I have to do for rooting it, but this ROM is just too buggy... but it looks nice, and having Android 7 is also ver cool:fingers-crossed::good:

I have the same build number as OP (E1003_15_161107). Phone is untouched and on stock ROM. Read things about our devices being different than others and hence little to no ROM support. So I am a bit lost. I reckon recovery provided by you works well on our device. What about the ROMs ? Can I flash any of my choice ? And Kernels ? Can I opt for kernels other than Arsenic ? (Big fan of Franco. Using his kernel on my OPO)

Yes you can flash any rom of your choice, just make sure you flash Arsenic R46 along with the rom zip as kernel is what makes your device boot. I'm not sure about franco's kernel so better ask in his respective thread?
No Luck for me.

Sorry. I'm new to this. Can I do that all in twrp czx? Bootloader is not unlocked as it took time so I am using twrp CZX as another way to flash roms.

Thanks. Yeah. Mine can flash roms with locked bootloader. So I have to try and just be careful. lol.

any long established roms working 100%?

Been a user of CM and then Lineage for years.
Unfortunately the lineageOS in Oreo we have at the moment are not quite working entirely.
Are there any long established roms, on Oreo, that work 100% and receive updates?
the only other I've tried is Nitrogen, where I had issues with an encryption error (where I wasn't encrypting) and not sure was getting updates at that stage..

Give Omnirom a try. May not be the most feature rich, but its one of the most stable ROMs that I've tried. Updated regularly as well.

You can use Mokee, only issue Xposed pre installed and not systemless. Hence won't pass safetynet even if you use Xposed uninstaller

I m on cardinal Aosp 5.8 Treble rom. I dont use magisk.
You should check laggyness without magisk.

Should i install a custom ROM on my P20 Lite?

Hey.
The stock roms feels "laggy", idk to explain. Not fluid like the Android One for example (I got the MiA1 and it's amazing, super fluid since ever)
So i'm here to ask if worth put a custom rom os this.
Thanks!

I think so, yes
BUT, coming from nexus devices with plenty of great ROM's, not sure yet if there are good roms for this device. I just got my P20 lite. Unlocking bootloader, installing custom recovery, installing ROM, root was so easy on nexus devices. Looks like this is more of a pain. Gonna read some on this forum first
If you have the bootloader unlock code I recommend you try the descendant treble rom. The best custom rom I ever used

I'm having a hard time finding out which variant you would use with your model. Do you have a recovery now? If so, can you share it?
My advise would be to try each one out and find one that boots up. Make a backup of the rom you have now before you try flashing any new roms. If i have to go back and re-release a new build specifically for your device i will. I just need to know what is compatible first
Twrp
Good morning, how can i install twrp? I tried to install it but i can unlock bootloader, i tried to unlock OEM in the developer options but than i said locked and when i tried to install it via Odin nothing happens, i want to install Bootleggers roms on my J5 (SM-J500FN) 2015 model, someone can help me? If there is a better rom tell me. Thanks

The option to unlock bootloader is in options>developer options. Then do what you have already tried.
