Messed up my phone and now I'm really confused - Honor 7X Questions & Answers

So I recently got my honor 7x and I got the bootloader unlock code today. I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and downloaded a custom ROM like I would on my other devices. I'm on EMUI5 and I assumed flashing an android 8.1 ROM would be possible so I wiped my internal storage. After that I tried flashing the rom in TWRP, which gave me some error about the zip not being in the right format. Then I flashed the rom in ADB but the device wouldn't boot up. I'm sitting here with a formatted phone with TWRP on it and a huge headache.
Could someone please help me and tell me how to revert back to stock or how to get a rom back on my device? I have the BND-L21 variant and I was on EMUI5. I'd really appreciate it because I'm kind of freaking out rn.

If your still on 5.1 you can't update like that you will have to perform the manual update found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/development/manual-update-to-oreo-beta-emui-8-bnd-t3764509 I think those files can work for your device but try to get the official Oreo update files and proceed

Cant get ROM to boot.

I tried upgrading to 7.1, and have tried 3 different ROM's. I even tried going back to 6. Every single ROM told me error code 7 when I tried to flash it. I went about fixing that. So then I was able to flash the ROM and GApps. But then when it goes to boot into the OS all it does is hang on the white Asus screen, reboot, and go back to the white Asus screen. It does that 3 times then goes into recovery. I even tried fixing it with ZE551ML_Modder V3.3. I am running TWRP-3.0.2-0-Z00A.img. This is a Z00A as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Did you upgraded the bootloader? I would just retrace steps, if not factory reset and try again.

The bootloader is the recovery right? (At least thats what I always thought). If so then I am running the newest TWRP for it.

Upgrade your bootloader following the instructions on the .zip package.
This will upgrade your bootloader and flash a compatible TWRP recovery.

I did all that. Now I am stuck with CM Recovery. I tried using the tool to get TWRP back but its not working. I have to figure out how to push TWRP using ADB.
In modder, return to stock option , flash stock recovery and boot img.
Unlock bootloader in modder, just incase.
Flash twrp, root in modder ..reboot to twrp...install 7.1 and pico gapps
I finally had to go to Ubuntu, run ADB as SU and ADB Sideload an older version of Cyanogenmod. Not a single factory image would work. And not a single one of those Android 7 ROM's would work. They are all broken. I would like to see real proof of one working. That little escapade cost me a lot of time. So until someone comes out with a real CM14 version for the Z00A do not attempt to boot one.

You may have really misunderstood the processes and yes they are allover the place.
i am running CM14.1 lots of people are !
What you probobaly have is LP based CM 13 on WW-4.20 blah blah.165
Then there was a CM13 with MM blobs based on WW-4.21 blah blah .135 MM
I think where you have gone wrong is not unlocking bootloader in 5 LP and upgrading bootloader and unlocking.
if you are on .165 - you could flash stock recovery for .165 -- upgrade to .184 -- unlock bootloader and upgrade to MM then unlock bootloader in MM with modder
Then use the modder to install 7.1 14.1 CM
But judging by the probs you have haD already - just leave it alone :good:
What is WW?

You know what you are doing re using ubuntu to adb but have the procedure all messed up.
Would you like to get to MM and 7.1 CM14.1 and have a windows PC ? ?
Post a screen shot of build number info you are presently on :good:

You might be able to get some help from the thread that you downloaded the ROM from that you're trying to flash. Since you're still on lollipop make sure that's not a marshmallow ROM you're trying to flash. Good luck to you. Once you get it all figured out you're going to love it!

I followed these step and rom flashed fine.

Thanks dude...and sorry to ask...but can you do one with the oreo update? Thank
As soon as someone posts the oreo ota zip i will, haven't gotten the update on my phone yet ;/.
ok guys i have a working flashable OREO! but videos are lagging because i havent been able to flash the firmware files need to dig deeper into this, before releasing it, give me some time guys, also twrp is unable to decrypt OREO internal data so thats another issue, but this one si out of my league shakalaca will need to update our recovery to decryot oreo data, il upload the current rom if anyone is willinf to flash it with the current issues, let me know.
Here's a screenshot of about screen.
Proof of root on oreo
Hi.Can I update my firmware if bootloader is unlocked and root is installed?If so, how?
You want to upgrade to oreo? Or just update your current firmware?
Just wondering.Are phones updated when the bootloader is unlocked?
Yes you can update phones with unlock bootloader's, if you want official updates you need the stock recovery, the twrp flashable roms i made will give you stock recovery.
Where is the stock recovery to take?
Flash any of the twrp stock roms i made and it will give you stock recovery.
Download firmware from the official website of asus, install it via twrp
and I get stock recovery with the new firmware???You don't know when to do an unofficial unlock of the bootloader?

Hi. I flashed the stock rom you uploaded because I accidentally lost mine... aside from audio/video lag issues, audio from calls were also unable to hear. Will patiently wait for your stock rom with firmware files. thaaaaanks
Go into recovery and flash the official oreo zip this will flash firmware files and fix no audio/video lag issues.

If you flash my oreo zip with no firmware and boot it up, this will give you stock recovery, which you will need to flash the stock oreo zip , and ofcourse you will need to reflash twrp after.

Global OTA 9.5.4.0 + TWRP = fail

My phone has unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and is rooted with magisk. Got the OTA for (global) 9.5.4.0 last night - it downloads/de-crypts ok, reboots into TWRP, and then fails to flash. I also tried to flash manually via TWRP by locating the downloaded file, still fails. During the night, it rebooted itself (to try again I suppose), and my alarm didn't go off.
So here I am, late in work, wasting more "work time" to ask you for a possible solution :angel:
Go back to original miui recovery then you can update your miui successfully. After update,reflash twrp and magisk.

Sounds easy, but I don't know how to do that. Could you point me in the right direction?
you can't flash an OTA with TWRP
Flash recovery img with fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then boot your phone
settings->about phone->system update->update
it will get in origin miui recovery and update system automatically
after update finished,reflash twrp and magisk
Thank you very much @jimandy60
With all the respect though, I would prefer downloading the file from a popular location. Is there any way to find this hosted somewhere else, maybe by Xiaomi?

Hello!
I got the same problem but instead to come here and ask for help I tried to solve myself. I downloaded the lastest TWRP version and the device was not going into recovering mode. Then I installed again the previous one without results. I downloaded the TWRP app from Play Store and trying to solve I made wipe data, cache and I am not sure but I think also choose wipe system. Now my phone is stuck on the fastboot screen. Does not start. Using ADB I installed back the stck recovery but the problem remains. Somebody can help me please?
reflash the full rom?
download&unzip full rom package,get in fastboot mode and run flash_all.bat

Question Going back to CN Rom from Global

hey guys, successfully flashed the global rom over my redmagic 6 pro CN version but decided to go back to the CN rom, but when I try to install it via local update it results in a recovery boot loop and the only option is to do a factory reset, but when I do a factory reset, for some reason it goes back to the Global Rom. Any tips on what I need to do? thanks

Personally what I would do is extract the boot image from the CN rom zip and fastboot flash it after you flash the CN rom via local update. You will have to be bootloader unlocked of course. You can always relock after you've got the CN rom up and running.

I actually tried that but then it get's stuck on the Nubia logo, so something must have gone wrong somewhere, and one odd thing is if I try installing the latest V2.63 CN rom via local update it tells me that the package is not compatible with the phone. At least the Redmagic 5G had the local update option on its recovery. Nothing at all on the Redmagic 6 Pro. Isn't recovery.img included in the payload.bin? doesn't seem to be there when I dumped the payload

Hi there, can you describe the whole steps to flash your RM6 pro from CN to global?
Which rom did you use? EU or non-EU?
Thanks for the reply.

I installed both just to see if I cam go back to CN rom once I'm on either Rom
Basically just downloaded the Global ROM file from the Nubia website, put it on my phones root folder, then did a local update, using the system update local update setting

I believe the recovery is part of the boot image now. I've dumped the payload too and I'll have a quick look and see if it's present. I have all the files for the US, global version. It's 4.1.2 I believe. I'll be happy to help any way I can. I just had a bad experience today... I've had my 6 Pro a week and already the cord has quit working. Not a good sign. I'm starting to regret my purchase.

I checked and sure enough no recovery image. Pretty sure it's baked into the boot image. Perhaps try the 4.1.2 boot image? That may boot it. Seems like you've rebranded it global version by flashing the global rom. That's a possibility anyways

ok I'll try to play around with it, won't flashing the 4.1.2 boot.img cause a brick?

Shouldn't cause a brick. If you've already flashed global before there shouldn't be any problem. But to be sure instead of flashing just fastboot boot the image.
Fastboot boot boot.img
This will allow you the luxury of trying it without actually flashing it. If it hangs up simply reboot by holding power.
