Hi all,
Just thought i share a little something i came across from playing about with the phone, I found you can flash any of the ROMs that the HiSilicon Kirin 650 chip set uses. Currently only two phones (5c and P9 lite)
First off you'll need the huawei update extractor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 and the ROM from the model of phone you want to flash.
Use the update extractor to extract the boot.img and system.img file from the update.app file, then just flash the files on you phone (fastboot flash boot boot.img and fastboot flash system system.img)
Currently im using a stripped down P9 lite VNS L31 B130 ROM with GAPPS on a honor 5c nem-ul10 chinese phone. Working pretty good, seems fast and smooth. Battery life is not better or worse. Everything seems to be working fine.
Post any questions and i'll try to answer
Cheers
Paul

Could you post the rom here..and does it support the fingerprint
How did you do that

First off you need fastboot tools installed and the Huawei Update Extractor downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Download b131 p9 lite rom http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v53991/f1/full/update.zip. There is a later ROM for the p9 lite (b151) but the finger print sensor doesn't work with this ROM
Use the extractor to extract the boot.img and system.img files.
Use trwp to complete backup of phone to the micro SD card. Use trwp and select advanced wipe, wipe everything except the micro SD
Reboot to bootloader
Open command prompt from the folder you have extracted the boot and system images, type the following commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
If you have the 5c chinese phone this rom is great, much more stock feel.
If like me you are having issues with the POB trwp, use the trwp made for the p9 lite
Any question let us know
Great, no questions now so far
Can I port a P9 Lite Rom to an european Honor 5c (without finger print sensor and NFC) ??

Not sure, don't have the european phone. Once you have a complete backup to revert to, you can't really do much harm testing
has anyone figured out, if this works for european copies of the phone as well?
and if yes, is there a chance to run the CM ROM from Meticulus?
i'd really love to see CM on my phone
Thx nice work

Yes, I've got the beta build of CM running on my european 5C - you need to follow the install instructions carefully, and there's a couple of extra steps for the 5C - you need to change the install script as described in this post to get it to install (this goes for the TWRP install too):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69989870&postcount=225
Once you've booted up, to get the camera to work you need to follow the instructions in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69990309&postcount=226
I've added the camera fix to a boot script so that I don't need to do it after every reboot. Once you've done that the ROM is working brilliantly (though with the same small issues the P9-lite users are having).

Have tried the following from an adb shell, but the camera still doesn't work. It doesn't give the error about not been able to connect, it just hangs and displays nothing.
How did you go about adding the fix to the boot script?
Thanks
Paul
Here's the script I used, there may have been a typo in Meticulous' original:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop HwCamCfgSvr
HwCamCfgSvr hi6250 NEMO &
restart media
If you put those 4 lines in a file called:
/system/etc/init.d/99camerafix
Then make sure it's executable (chmod +x /system/etc/init.d/99camerafix) it should run on startup.

Cool, im using the app solid explorer to give the file permissions. I gave it 777, were i think it should be 775. Let me try again.
Just out of curiosity, did you dirty flash the CM over an earlier version? Just reading some of the posts over on the p9 forms. Users are reporting a smoother rom when dirty flashing
Thanks

No, beta was the first build I tried. Nice and smooth for me, except when night mode is on or occasionally when balanced battery mode is selected - but performance battery mode seems to have reasonable battery life so I'm using that for now.
solved problem already, had some troubles packing the zip together again (mac issues...)
it works fine on my phone now (including camera) thanks a lot for the help!
With a little help.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5c/help/dev-info-support-honor-5c-cm-13-builds-t3517159
Thanks @Liffeyman.
Gonna try installing ur twrp backup of the p9-lite rom (stripped down of bloat + xtra app goodies). My model is the honor 5c Nem-l51. It's the uk 2gb ram/16gb storage without fingerprint sensor. I realize yours was the Chinese model so I'll let u know how I get on and hopefully it works just as well . Like u says, as long u perform a backup, there should be nothing to worry about :fingers-crossed:
If all goes well with that....I might download the B151 rom and extract the boot&system images and flash them as per your instructions previously. Hopefully that build will be even more stable/fast and the fact that the fingerprint sensor does not work is no problem for me as the uk model has no such sensor ?
Will post the outcome of my efforts in the next few days....

Hey guys I was able to take the time slooooowly download Stock firmware for our Prevail. Practically no support to this phone at all, but I've been working to change that as best I can. I am learning the ropes of ROM building and I have been able to make use of ASSSAYED Kitchen v.110 (Now upgraded to v1.20).
For those of you who don't know:
Odin tutorial
**DO AN ADVANCED WIPE IN TWRP BEFORE FLASHING. EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE EXTERNAL SD CARD**
Download Samsung USB Drivers (Go to this xda thread here).
Download Odin (Get it here) Extract to Desktop (Or wherever)
Download firmware to desktop (It's in .zip format and you can find it here). Extract .zip file to odin folder (again, or wherever). Extraction should yield G360PVPU2APJ2_G360PSPT2APJ2_G360PVPU2APJ2_HOME.tar
Right click Odin 3.10.6 and click on "run as administrator".
Click on AP and find the extracted ROM. Open it and it will take a minute to load in to Odin...Now make sure the 'Auto Reboot and F. reset time options are ticked and nothing else.
Make sure to be using a quality USB cord. Odin will recognize your phone being plugged in. It will say COM port number in the top left hand corner and added or removed will be in the log window. Once you are ready begin the flash press start.
Relax, It will take about 10 minutes to do it's thing. After the long agonizing initial boot process, you will be back to stock firmware PJ2 for SM-G360P
Hope it helps! So far there is no lollipop for our phone. Click here to check out all my uploads for this device. So far I have a TWRP port that actually works. (Must flash through Odin) an a Stock rooted deodexed busyboxed zipaligned rom of this firmware (Thanks to ASSAYYED Kitchen).
OLDER VERSIONS
OH1 Firmware
I flashed this back to my device in attempt to go stock but system status is still set to Custom just so everyone is aware. Not sure if it could be an error on my part.
just wanted to say thanks i have 2 of these phones 1 use for mp3 player/ play phone and the other my daughter has to use. ive tried a ton of twrps for this and everyone broke recovery. im dl ing the twrp and the rom you posted. ya there is no development on this phone at all. ive tried almost every rom i could to get it to lollipop with no luck. im going to try to get the theme store and the launcher swapped out with an updated version.. n5 s7 any is fine i just want to get it updated lol. ill play with it tonight and let you know how it goes. i appreciate the effort your putting in to this. i dont even have service to them i have a stubborn s7 that refuses to get rooted. i had no prob with the note7 but idk if i have some updated version of s7 but i cannot obtain full root. i need to have my audio mods at least. i have a good one with beats, dolby atomos and viper im going to try on the 360 as well. let me know if you would like the file. after i check if it works on this on that is.
Please stay tuned. Upgrading this thread to the most recent PJ2 firmware.
Thread updated to PJ2 firmware. I can confirm this will make your device status 'Official'.
Thank you!
I just wanted to say:
Thank you so much mate! An amazing job here, I had a broken rom on this device, and thanks to your PJ2 build; I now have a fully working device again!
Fixed the play store, play services, and all the ads and junk on this Textfree branded device (PE2 firmware confirmed). keep up the great work!
Thanks for posting this! I see your other files, would you mind going in more detail how to install the stock rooted deodexed version of this rom? How do you recommend unlocking the bootloader to install TWRP or can we just simply flash it with ODIN then install the stock rooted rom? Thanks!
EDIT: according to this forum looks like you just flash it. Do you recommend your 2.87 over the 3.02?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-teamwin-recovery-project-3-0-0-t3317381
EDIT 2: NVM found your other thread and looks like 2.87 is the way to go.

I'd really like a custom rom for this phone i have to restart at least once a day or this ROM becomes unusably slow.. I mean atleast CM11
Hello. I'm Dave. I just got this phone (G360P Prevail LTE) and I'm pretty excited about it because it could sure use some stuff and I'm new to development and ROM porting. My goal is to bring great ROMs to the lower end phones that are sometimes forgotten in development. Right now I only have one good port under my belt, but it's a great one...PAC 5.1.1 for the ZTE Zmax Z970. Unfortunately, I used device and kernel trees that were already put together by another developer, so I'm not completely sure how to get started on putting trees together for this one. At least it's a Samsung, so mistakes will not be deadly, hopefully lol. There's a lot I don't know and this will be a hell of a learning experience. If anyone could fill me in on which devices that have some development going are most similar to this one, it would be a big help. I flashed the TWRP for the G360T1 before I found @adrwill2000's stuff since it has the same processor and specs and I'm sure you all know how that worked out...I guess I'll start by grabbing stuff for the device that our TWRP was ported from, unless you guys have any better suggestions. It would be best to start with trees from a very similar device. I almost hate to post this because it's very possible I will get nowhere, but I could sure use input from you guys that know this device well as to what my best starting point might be. Thank you.
I'm back to running H1 for now because it seems to be our latest that xposed is working on and imo this KitKat stuff sure needs some Gravitybox. Also, on mine, in J2, when I hit reboot it would reboot recovery. I was gonna fix it, but it's working in H1.
Scratch that...I found the Xposed updated for new 4.4s, so I'm on the deodexed, zipaligned j2 now. Thanks for all you've done with this, @adrwill2000...
It worked for me. My phone was bricked and I could not even get it to hard reset. Thank you!

1.) Turn off the phone. Hold down Volume Up + Home + Power until you see a little Android guy. It will say Applying System Update or something like that possibly, and just let it do it's thing until a menu comes up.
2.) Select "Apply update from ADB". You can scroll using the volume buttons and select using the power button.
3.) Make sure you have ADB and the proper drivers installed on your PC:
http://dl.adbdriver.com/upload/adbdriver.zip
4.)Put the firmware in the ADB folder. You can rename it to anything easy to remember like "FIRMWARE".
5.) In the ADB folder, hold SHIFT + right mouse click and choose "Open command window here". Then type the command "adb sideload FIRMWARE" (where FIRMWARE is how you named your file).
6.) Wait patiently.
7.) The phone will reboot and will hang at AT&T logo. This can take another 10 minutes, just wait until it's done
Ok, so I'm a novice at best on flashing with Odin... just flashed my AT&T S7 for the second time today, loading the SM-G930U version of Oreo (G930UUEU8CRJ2).
My understanding is that the 8 in the firmware version (G930UUEU8CRJ2) indicates that it is bootloader v. 8. I also understand that once you update the bootloader, it is impossible to downgrade it... So when I realized I couldnt enable Wifi calling on SM-G930U firmwares I thought I would flash back to the AT&T firmware, and then debloat it to improve the performance. But i cant find an SM-G930A Oreo Rom with BL v. 8.
I thought this one might be, but the 3 files seem to be independant of each other, and the 3rd file that lloked like it might be BL8, is less than 50MB...
So Im hoping you can provide some guidance, and im hoping i didnt shoot myself in the foot with this SM-G930U firmware.
Thank you
Sam

The bootloader binary was updated to 8. After you flash this you'll be stuck on Oreo.

I actually really like Oreo, just trying to get Oreo and WiFi calling working on my phone (My Office at work fights all day for 1 bar of cell signal), I had hoped that WiFi calling worked in the SM-G930U variant since everyone talked about it running so much better, but alas, it still doesn't support WiFi Calling (Stupid me for thinking it might have had support added recently).
Thank you again
(My Wife is sure to get upset with me once again working on my phone again today... whoops)
Thanks , G930AUCS8CRJ2 is working fine so far. Do you mind sharing how you go about 'converting' a set of ODIN files to a flashable adb zip? Do you just unextract every single archive in the .md5 files? and then zip it all up? And would rooting to G930AUCU4CRI2 brick my phone now that I am on CRJ2? My bad for all of the questions.

You mean about G930AUCS8CRJ2 sideload with adb? Im just pulling the update from AT&T servers and uploading it here. I don't know how to make sideload zip. And for the rooting part I don't know if its possible now because the bootloader binary was updated to 8, try to search here on xda and see if you can find root methods for this firmware

I actually have a S7 G930A. Rooted before, not rooted now.. Is there a way to do any of these updates without hooking up to a PC? I actually have no charge port functions and can only use wireless charger to charge the phone till i get the port fixed someday to do these features. I am on Android 8.0 oreo that i installed to sd card and updated from there like a year ago? Is that possible to do? Use SD card update.. Or. Would love to root the phone again, but cent seem to find a one click root app that will work with this phone..

Yes, you can update your phone without pc, just download the update you need from your phone, put the update in your sd card, go to recovery and select the option "Apply update from SD card"

I was thinking something like that was possible. I have baseband version G930AUCU4CRB5 Android 8.0.0 on the AT&T Gal S7 as mentioned, I never saw any updates from this version to go up to a newer version or get into regular updates from OTA. 2 issues I would like to also fixed, that came with the manual update to 8.0 oreo on my phone was the HR heart rate sensor on the back by your flash(red LED) always goes off.. And have tried to go to Samsung health and do some settings to turn it off, but seems to show back up eventually. Also, the issue of not having a working LED indicator, works fine when the phone is POWERED off. and charges. But in OS, it won't work, screen off or on bc of the update. If anyone knows how those issues could be fixed and if there is a possible newer update from my baseband mentioned below. And thanks for the response.
HI, Help needed
Hi,
I wanted to check if it is possible to flash the latest Oreo firmware you have here for downloading dirrectly to my samsung s7 that is currently running on 7.0? Current BaseBand is G930AUCU4BQK2
Basically what happened was that i lost all my contacts on my phone, I ended up download Dr.Phone to my laptop, which i used to try and recover my numbers. What i didnt know was that dr.phone rooted my device which has caused me nothing but headaches.
I now want to flash my phone and get updated to oreo and have my phone working normally again. Since dr.phone did whatever it did to my phone I lost use of my finger print scanner, had to disable samsung health as it kept trying to open on its own, my phone is lagging and freezing constantly..
I just want my phone to be normal again and unrooted and updated.
Lastly my phone is an AT&T device, that i bought second hand in Dubai, if i flash stock firmware is it going to carrier lock my device to AT&T again?
Any advice and help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I tried the June and July builds on my Dual SIM J9110. They are constantly improving so some things that I mention below may have changed. The SODP guys working on it are awesome.
The builds worked well for the most part, performance is not quite as good as stock, there are some stutters and frame drops, but it's still daily driver material.
Some things to keep in mind:
-There is no Dolby Audio. Volume from the speakers is slightly lower than stock.
-The display runs in always 4K mode, it looks great. Doesn't have a huge effect on battery life either.
-The notification LED only displays one colour, which is sort of a bluey-white.
-You have to use Raizen's HyperCam build for photos. A little bit of tweaking within the app and it takes fantastic photos. Supports all 3 cameras as well.
-It will not have any proprietary Sony features like Battery Care.
For flashing you have to use Payload_Dumper on the payload.bin file included within the ROM zip. It will give you dtbo.img, boot.img, system.img, vendor.img and so on.
First make sure you're on the latest Android 10 (55.1.x) firmware on both A and B slots. You can use NewFlasher to flash, and fastboot to switch between slots.
Then flash the latest Sony Open Device Binaries for Kumano (Xperia 1 / Xperia 5) which you can get from here:
https://developer.sony.com/file/dow...-aosp-android-10-0-kernel-4-14-kumano-latest/
Then flash dtbo, boot and vendor. Then boot into AOSP recovery with Power + Vol down. From there you can use adb sideload to install the ROM .zip file and your phone will reboot into PE.
If it bootloops, run fastboot format userdata or boot back into AOSP recovery and do a factory reset.
For updates, it does support OTAs since the device is officially supported by PE and hosted on their servers.

Thanks for the info! I'm definitely going to try it.
Would you mind pointing me to the exact hypercam raizen file

Thanks! It doesn't work with stock Sony. Is that normal?
I realized that the ROM is for the DSDS. I have the 802SO version. I wonder if I'll end up borking the phone.

Not sure if 802SO is supported.
Yes it's normal for it to not work with stock ROM.

Thanks for Your Post! Is there any reason for flashing the ZIP again after flashing it already via Fastboot? Sounds more Like a Option for coming Updates (I hope update.zip Files Work from the Storage too?). Great to have at least a stable Recovery Base!

The developers had given me these flashing instructions. We only flash dtbo, boot and vendor first. Then sideloading the zip flashes them again, as well as flashing system.img which was not flashed through fastboot.
I'm using this build now, everything works fine. But the animation seems not very smooth,a little lag

i updated to android 12, without any modifications prior, is it possible to root this phone still? or is there no root method for android 12 yet? i've been curious on rooting it for a little while now.

Thank you! I hope it works fine for me.. i don't really want to kill my phone Lol i've had a lot of experience with rooting and unbricking phones, but i'm still a bit on edge especially with this one given its price compared to like $50 or less i've paid for others Haha

i hate to say it.. but the tutorial isn't working for me in qfil it tells me "Please make sure you have selected the correct programmer in flat build page" i rebooted it into the 9008 mode 10-20 times now and it hasn't worked..

Here,try this one.I just used it not even 10 minutes ago to make a full LUNS back up of a V60 I have laying on my desk.I'm actually using LUNS backups to crossflash other carrier V60's with AT&T software so the VoLTE works.
Edit:Oh,make sure you choose flat build.Then choose this firehose.

this was certainly an interesting experience, i could unlock the bootloader, but doing it via the file thing provided it won't work, going to fastboot and doing fastboot oem unlock, then booting into a twrp recovery and flashing magisk v24.3, it bricked the OS and i had to fight to get it to boot, twrp broke and is locked it refuses to unlock, it gave me an odd looking recovery mode as if it was from android kitkat or something (thats the best i can describe it, it looked much different from the other recovery to wipe) and it said it couldn't boot android and it said to factory reset, so i did.. it downgraded me to android 11 and now its rooted but i can't update to android 12 now because of it being rooted? is there a way to update to 12 now?

Afraid not because OTA updates will look for rooted or bootloader unlocked devices and will normally give you a white screen error code.Nature of the beast I guess you could say.If you don't plan on doing a custom rom or trying to remove OEM software it's not really worth it honestly.

Ahh okay. Thanks though! Do you know why it would have downgraded from 12 to 11 though? that doesn't really make any sense to me.. why did rooting downgrade without me installing an older system or anything like that?

Think about it this way, a V60 with a broken screen is less than 100 bucks. If you brick it, you can fix it for far less than bricking any other phone in a similar class.

Now,that's an odd one.My thoughts would be because of the engineering bootloader that's written for unlocking purposes?Are you sure it was A12 to begin with?lol..

And this is very true!The V60 was way ahead of it's time!It's a shame LG devices were never marketed properly and supported on a local retail level like they should have been.And even if you did brick them,worst thing would be peeling the back off and hitting the testpoint to bring it back to life.

Yes! I was so excited that i got 12 on it, the bootloader shows its android 12 though.. which is really confusing to me.. is there any chance there's an android 12 kdz for this phone floating around that i could try to root and flash? i'm kind of regretting it now, i can't get the fingerprint scanner working following the tutorial there.. i can't update to 12 again it just fails to download, my recovery mode is gone, i can't get back into the bootloader/fastboot mode only EDL mode but it won't recognize anything within windows, adb won't work nor fastboot, can i recover it still if i wish to go back to stock?
The good news is, it gets much better benchmark scores and is much much faster..
on geekbench, 1688 single core, 6203 multicore, it had a higher score but said it was invalid? that one was 4067 single core, 15601 multicore
antutu, it scored 695755 with just using kernel auditor and maxing out the cpu freq and setting gpu freq to 870mhz.
Edit: I just remembered, for where you mentioned the bootloader, i don't have the engineering one installed. i never got that far to even install it. just android debugging > oem unlock > fastboot > fastboot oem unlock

That depends on what model of V60 you have?Most of the kdz files for Verizon or T-Mobile can be found at the link below.AT&T or Sprint no kdz's to be found except back up Qfil copies I have found.Take a look,and LGUP it if you find the firmware you want.Most will be A11 and you can just OTA back to A12 with no problem.

okay good! Thank you! Is there any chance of a android 12 KDZ for the t-mobile variant? and if i flash back an original KDZ, will i have to wipe everything again? Thanks.

If you refurb it with LGUP it will wipe it all.The T-Mobile model has A12,but no physical kdz as of yet.So,you'll have to OTA back to A12 once you set it all back up.

Yes,that wil work until the next update.If it's modified when the next OTA hits,it will give you the update error.Basically,you just set it back stock and the update works.But,glad you have it worked out.
