is there a stock recovery available that i can flash in case i want to reset my phone or pull ota updates without flashing any zip files? i think the ota.zip that vernee released does not include a recovery, does it?
EDIT: there might be a possibility to extract recovery.img from the phone over adb. the problem is that you need to be rooted to do this but i am not, so i will leave a link down below. could someone who rooted his apollo try to get the recovery.img ?

You are right. There is no recovery.img inside the OTA update zip
I have made a custom recovery by myself. The pictures are the proof that my twrp works well.
This twrp method does not affect the original stock recovery.
Before to start the twrp by Fastboot, make sure you have installed the OTA 201701 update zip onto your Apollo.

Hello, the method works very well ....
Thank you very much :laugh:

Hello, Cleopatra
Just a couple of questions....
1.- In this TWRP "instalation" you ask adb to boot from an image is not in the telephone but in your PC? (Please, confirm)
2.- Instad using SuperSu for root, can Magisk take its place? Magisk seems to be a very promisory system.
Thank you very much. I do not have my piedce already to check myself. That is the reason of item 2.-

Your first question :
Fastboot to boot the recovery.img (TWRP) inside your PC. I confirm it.
Your second question :
Regarding Magisk, please keep in mind that you need also "phh's SuperUser" and "xposed-v87.0-sdk23-topjohnwu.zip".
Very soon I will have the Vernee Apollo in my hands to do all kinds of tests without asking anyone to be the test case.
The first most important target is to make a stock firmware flashable by SP Flash Tool.
The second most important target is to make a twrp flashable by SP Flash Tool.

We are in the same situation...

I see you on 4pda.
1) "volume plus" + "power" simultaneously.
2) select the first line with "volume plus".
3) press "volume minus" to enter into recovery.
I suggest you to install "Quick Reboot (Root)" apk to enter more quickly into recovery mode.

UPDATE 02
TWRP 3.0.3
Unfortunately the touch screen does NOT work.
Then, you will have to choose two different methods :
1) Flash the twrp 3.0.3 and use an OTG mouse.
2) Boot the twrp by Fastboot mode (please read carefully the steps at the first post).

WHAT ??? 40 minutes to make a backup ???
WAIT please ! Probably you are doing it wrong.
Questions :
1) Do you have selected ONLY Nvram, Boot, System and Data ?
2) What kind of microSD are you using ? Speed class 6 or speed class 10 ?

Thanks a lot guys!
I successfully installed Linage OS 17.1 on my SM-A105FN.
Everything works, except face-unlock and nfc.
But that is fine and I can wait for a future update that might fix it.

Might work but are you a little tech savvy? Because it's quite a long process and took me a day to complete.
Because of all the bootloops and reflashing and so on.

Could you pass me the ROM link?

Thank you for the port, awesome job!
In my opinion it needs some improvements, like in sound, we lost quality, and maximum volume in respect to stock one.
Also the notification bar gets a small black bar in the top, stock one was using all the edges.
And maybe a little hand in some animations that runs randomly not smooth.
Apart from that, i think its a really good and stable ROM.
Any ideas in how to safely root, and maybe add it Viper4Android or some audio lib?

I Unlocked Bootloader, installed twrp and rooted the device using this guide, " https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-newbie-resource-thread-bootloader-t3995285 ".
Now I have rooted Realme 5 Pro RMX 1971 with Realmeos Build c.07.
I downloaded Evolution X 4.7 Rom zip file and followed the instructions given in thread to flash zip file. But after flashing when I tried to reboot in system, it gave me a message on swipe screen that OS is not installed but still I swiped to boot in system. My device tried to boot a couple of time and ended up in fastboot again. Fortunately I had already made backup so I restored my backup.
Hence again I am on Rooted Relame 5 pro RMX1971 with realmeos build c.07.
What wrong did I do?

Do format data in twrp.format is not wiping data

Hello I'm new to this, so can you please tell me if the steps are same for the latest version of realme 5 pro (RMX1971 11 C. 14).

Hello can I ask if I can still use the in depth test APK file in android 11 realme 5 pro. Because I want to unlock the bootloader and change my phone's rom. Thanks in advance.

[Development and Testing][COMPLETE] Android 11 on Huawei Honor 6x.

UPDATE : An Android 11 ROM (Fluid OS) has been successfully tested and a new thread was opened. Feel free to use this thread in future if you're working on a different android 11 ROM.
This thread is dedicated for the development and discussions on different android 11 ROMs and GSI's that work on our device.​Already tested ones : (need fixes and any help is appreciated)
> @phhusson 's android 11 builds (treble experimentations, v308)​Issues : ​Works fine on first boot but reboot/subsequent boots are causing bootloops. only fix found is that it is requiring a factory reset with stock recovery on every boot.​Procedure followed : ​
Boot to recovery from stock emui 8 / any custom one that was installed on emui 8.​
Factory reset with twrp by typing "yes".​
push system image with adb to device after extracting it with 7zip from .xz file.​
Flash system image.​
Flash stock recovery.​
Boot to stock recovery and perform factory reset and wipe cache (in a random order, many times for satisfaction ).​
Choose reboot and wait.​
Fixes tried :​> Booting fix from @Hami_Do from this thread. This didn't fix the issue but as a side effect, the device stopped booting.​ Conclusion : This is not the right patch for the issue that was encountered.​​> Waiting for others to try out different ROMs/GSI's and inform(post in this thread).​Builds that can be tried :​# @DarkJoker360 's builds.​# Other GSI's​# Other ones that you know which might work.​​*This thread will be updated with every fix that worked, procedures, ROMs/GSI's and patches used whether worked or not so that development will be easy.
Thanks to @Djiban for the idea of starting a development thread for accelerating the development.
***Please try out every rom you could (if your willing to) and use different patches and post your observations in this thread so that the development will be active.***
Feel free to give out your suggestions about different patches that can be tried.​

RESERVED.​

The best but time-taking way : Compiling rom directly from the android source, device trees etc.
If anyone has required hardware and time, try it if you are willing to.

Hello. As some users of the Honor 6x managed to install @DarkJoker360 AOSP 10 for P8lite, until july 2020 version (later release didn't boot). I tried to compil every succesfull tricky install process of this rom on another devices than the P8 lite. And as @DarkJoker360 released an AOSP 11 for P8 Lite, maybe this compilation of install steps could make it work on our Honor 6x. Below are the conclusion of my reseach, surely some steps are not mandatory:
- Upgrade to EMUI (Warning for last stock firmware version, for P8 light for example: I recommend .360 firmware or .400. Newer firmwares with newer security patches may refure to boot due to some Huawei changes for avoiding modding)
- Remove the saved fingerprints and Google Accounts just in case
- Download the TWRP recovery from pretoriano80 (https://mega.nz/#!LLhBXSzY!3runNNoW9z1tOHSu-heIUhyy-4u8XHvc8rZMsn547so ou https://eu.dl.twrp.me/prague/)
[Sinon from @Dil3mm4 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...lopment/unofficial-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-t3773970) or use this recovery https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MnFBplsp3nZ3b0BiJ764cV67kHXeRzL4/view ou https://sourceforge.net/projects/hi...WRP/twrp-3.4.0.0-v1-hi6250-emui8.img/download]
- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img
- TWRP-flash fstab.hi6250b.zip (https://sourceforge.net/projects/darkjoker360-developements/files/Huawei/fstab.hi6250b.zip/download)
- Wipe and Format Data>yes then reboot. You should reboot into ugly looking stock rom.
- In settings>security>more you should see Encrypt phone that means storage is decrypted.
- Enable debug and confirm via adb and boot into TWRP
- go to TWRP -> Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, and do a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik/art cache), Don’t Format Data again because most probably you'll lose Internal Storage
- extract img from AOSP 11 main file
- TWRP-Flash system.img : TWRP -> Install -> Install Image (OR reboot to bootloader and "fastboot flash system drag and drop <drag system.img here>")
- Resize the system partition: press "Wipe" Then choose "Advanced Wipe". After that select/check "System" box and then press on "Repair or Change File System" and then you will see down "Resize File System", press on it and done ur System has been resized. (DO NOT FORMAT!), u need to resize the system partition, until see the used space ~17xxmb and free ~18xx mb
- Install NikGapps core with SetupWizard add-on
- Install NFC_fix.zip
[ NON !!! - MUST flash Magisk Phh 19.3]
- (Required) Install prague patch
- After installing all things you will need to install stock recovery and wipe cache and try to do factory reset(i tried to but i got error massage)
- after flashing the patch go back to stock oreo recovery which is available on the emui 8 folder you downloaded earlier (huawei update extractor ?)
- do factory reset and wipe cache, after that load to bootloader again
- finally flash huaweitwrp.img https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-iErvJefoFri7HKNEU8uSnYo8kmIyVd9/view
- reboot into that twrp
- chooose advances; fix encryption
- Reboot and wait, then you can access internal memory
- After first boot, you need to, format data in erecovery

Unfortunatly, I have no time at the moment for Honor 6x, but if some of you want to comment/try/discuss about these steps...

The problem I faced was also mentioned in developers.android.com (power cycle one).
Is there any fix for this?

@Djiban
I need your help to test out the same process I've done in post #1 for AOSP 11 but this time along with flashing fstab.hi6250.zip. @Hami_Do suggested this. But I'm not having a spare device to test it out. Please do it when you have some free time.

1) when in the process should I flash fstab.hi6250.zip according to you ?
2)you wrote:
Boot to recovery from stock emui 8 / any custom one that was installed on emui 8.
Factory reset with twrp by typing "yes".
the factory reset can be done with either stoc or TWRP recovery, there is a contradiction here.
3) do you use this .xz file: system-roar-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
4) witch stock recovery to flash and where to find it? ( in the xz file ?)
I'll check your complete guide to install AOSP 10 to be sure!

I don't actually know about that. Maybe before installing the system image and if the rom again bootloops after rebooting, flashing it again..?

see my last post, I did edit with more questions when you did this answer.
for darkjoker's rom fstab.hi6250b.zip is flashed just after flashing the very first TWRP recovery (see post #4) , I'll give it a try like that.
I'm waiting for your answers 2 3 4 from my last post

2) I meant to boot to TWRP from stock emui 8 rom or AOSP 10 which I've posted a guide on or any other builds.
It in more simpler terms means to boot to TWRP from any of the roms you are currently using.
3) I used the a-only one not ab. Honor 6x supports a-only versions and not ab. ab is for devices launched with Android 9 or later.
4)I attached the stock recovery in the AOSP 10 post #1. It is the stock recovery which we will find in EMUI 8 update.zip file.
Additional : you can use 7zip to extract xz file.
Did I make myself clear?

2) do you think a factory reset in the stock recovery (if TWRP recovery is not installed) will not work as well? I think so.
In fact to flash fstab.hi6250b.zip, you havce to have TWRP recovery. This means that this rom cannot be install to a full stock EMUI, yiou have to install TWRP recovery first
3) ok
4) ok, sorry
i,ll give a try today I hope
5) do you also recommend those steps at the begining as for AOSP 10:
Format the data partition {Wipe > Format data > type "yes"}
In TWRP, choose wipe > advanced wipe > select system, data, cache and DALVIK and format them.
6) Can,'t we flash img and recovery though adb, or only in TWRP recovery {Install > Install Image > Select > Choose system image > Swipe➡} {Install > Install Image > Select > Choose recovery image > Swipe➡}
6) no open gapps for android 11!! should we stay vanilla, or do you think there will be a simple package to flash afterwards, when vanilla will be running ?

2) yeah, except the recovery I think every other partition being stock is better.
5) yes
6) you can directly try the gapps arm64 a only version here and OpenGapps android 11 is under testing and is also available at sourceforge. But better try the gapps IMG itself.

I did, not easy to find anything yet !

OK, Did try install to install phh AOSP 11 with the full process below ,from a clean EMUI 8 . Result : device is in bootloop.
What Should I change? From where to restart (do I have to go back to EMUI 8 , or I can restart the below process with change, from there ?)
Note that stock recovery factory reset (even low level factory reset, that occured after several bootloops) did not work at all, stoped after couple of second.
- Connect your usb debugging enabled Honor 6X (with EMUI 8 or custom rom installed over EMUI8) to a PC with adb & fastboot

maybe those steps were mistakes:
- in TWRP recovery, factory reset (even if it's early in the process)
- reinstall of fstab.hi6250.zip at the end of the process

What happened after you did this? Is it still bootlooping?

I have to access bootloader mode and reinstall TWRP again, give it a try tonight

Ok tried ton install AOSP 11 without any fstab.hi6250b.zip flashing. Still bootloop! It seems my device is lacking an EMUI8 part, and not yours!
note that each time:
- when I'm final rebooting in recovery from TWRP, it says "no OS installed, sure you wish to reboot?"
- stock recovery factory reset stops at 7%
@Venkata Lochan Nune do you have this 2 errors too ?

Found my error, I was flashing the ARM and not the ARM64 system .img !!!!
First boot in AOSP 11 succeded.
I even tried the gapps img, but google setup wizard loops.
As I did flash fstab.hi6250.zip just after TWRP recovery in this last install, I' did checked if AOSP 11 survives the second boot:
gapps img did
vanilla img did
I think you can either change the status of this thread, or open a new one. Wa have an usable android 11 for Honor 6X. The exact process I did follw is quoted at the end of this post.
Still to do:
- test and bug search (let me know what should I try)
- find a nanogapps package to install
-find out how to proceed for system updates
thx for all @Venkata Lochan Nune
Process used to install:
- Connect your usb debugging enabled Honor 6X (with EMUI 8 or custom rom installed over EMUI8) to a PC with adb & fastboot

Thanks. Will test this.
I'm in the process of wiping through TWRP. It says
"Failed to mound '/metadata' (Invalid argument)
I've already converted the format partition from FAT to EXT4, and wiped the selected items but I'm stuck with the error above. Idk if this won't make me able to proceed to flashing the gsi

nice. Wish there were clear instructions on how to flash this phone, though.

Hey, so I really want to root my A22, but I would want some more info. I would like more info on how to flash the A12 GSI, like what about vendor etc, I mean I know stuff about roms but no stuff about GSI'S whatsoever, so like is vendor needed etc? And also can you give me a more detailed tutorial on how to flash it? I'd love Android 12 on this phone.

Yepp... perfectly works. No issues, efs just might break sometimes like it already did to me and you have to flash stock if you didn't back up efs

Hi there, I'm a noob regarding to this, but I was able to follow this guide successfully for my A225m.
But I'd like to understand what's going on here, can you give an explanation about each step and what does it do?
Also, can the vbmeta flashing be done _without_ Odin? For example using only fastboot (which works on Linux unlike Odin).

Thank you for following your tutorial, successfully rooting, and flashing the system

There are three problems with crdroid, the dual card manager cannot work quickly, the hotspot cannot be used, and the system cannot mount the phone storage
