Hi there, as can you see here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/xepeleato-s-lineageos-14-1-t3542120, from @XePeleato, he did a LineageOS ROM for P8 lite but he want to help us too, so read the post slowly and if you want to test it, go ahead
In Which phones works?
Che2-L03,Che2-L11, Che2-L12, Che2-L23, Che2-UL00, Che2-TL00, G735-L03, G735-L23
Downloads (Always thanks to Xepeleato for helping us, Really)
Experimental Build 1: http://hisiliconroms.pw:8080/4x-1.zip (it doesn't boot)
Experimental Build 2: http://hisiliconroms.pw:8080/4x-2.zip
Installation Instructions (PD: it is hard)
First of all, you need or XePeleato TWRP for P8 lite here http://error404software.com/android/recovery.zip, or TWRP 3.1.0.0 (custom) from Roman Horulsky here https://mega.nz/#!FxwWjJxA!KrLvc85QD9w97ECX3kNRHM5LLWdGLVQix524JnPk5Og
Go here and get the appflasher https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702
On http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=ale-l21 download any rom that is says FULL, and add it to appflasher with the instructions in the post above
On TWRP Mount everything and install the P8 lite ROM (install ZIP)
Then on TWRP. reboot on Bootloader and Install TWRP again
On TWRP, go to Wipe, but before anything, FORMAT DATA (NO WIPE), why would you say? because when you install a p8 lite rom the phone encryptis itself and you can't use/wipe data, and emui data IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE with LineageOS Data
Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Data, Internal and System
Then install the zip posted above
Bugs ATM
Doesn't work:
No RIL on Single SIM Phones (on Double Sims RIL Works)
No Sound
No Bt
It seems it detects the sd card (you can enter to install things and everything, but only from the notification), in short words it isn't visible in media apps
When i connect the headphones the phone doesn't detect it
Record and see videos (.mp4 files)
Can't confirm, but maybe OTG (all of us the testers don't use it)
What works
Wifi (perfectly)
Camera
it seems GPS works
Install apps from explorer
Play store (it shows all the apps)
Dev Options
No problems with root (it needs to be flashed)
Many thins more
You maybe are wondering, why it doesn't boot on G Play/4X, or it has some sort of Wifi Bugs on G Play Mini/4C? because the net card, P8 lite (and probably 4C too but with different model) have a Siliscon Net card, and we 4X users have a Broadcom Netcard, so the romitself it is trying to load a module for a hardware that we don't have, so it doesn't boot
I did this post here, so we don't inundate the P8 Lite topic
if you have questions about this, it is your time to ask! (and if you are a dev, your help is appreciated)
EDIT: first experimental builds are up, see the 3rd page on comments (added pics)
Alright, so later on I'll build a special zip with a compatible kernel. This is going.to be the workflow.
1) You are interested and send me a PM
2) I send you the zip
3) You answer with your device model and whatever you think it's important like:'wifi didn't work, here's a logcat when I try to enable it's
4) I send another zip...

IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO FLASH ON CHE2-L11
I have followed all the instructions (slow method), but flashing is not possible on my Huawei Honor 4x Che2-L11. It stops in the flashing process.
When doing adb sideload, it fails with the error message:
Code:
"E:unknown command [log]
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7"
(this is error message in TWRP, not on laptop)
I have never succeeded in installing CM before, so not surprising that I can't install LineageOS. Nobody has taken care of Che2-L11 so it's total uncertain situation while some claim it works but don't show how. I have followed all the advice, tried all the different TWRP versions, but it always got stuck on "patching system image unconditionally" (with CM 12.1 - P8Lite version). Probably reason might be that they are not wiping everything, but keep some partition but forget to tell me about it. I wipe everything.
We need some common effort to make Che2-L11 versions, work together. I can do my part if we cooperate.

As I said, this is a discussion and not the ROM itself, the ROM for 4X isn't available yet, anyways I put these instructions so you can test it, and your error isn't normal
If you want to try, get the boot.img and flash it, the phone won't boot
I made this discussion for people that are interested on lineage OS and want to try the experimental ROM that will be here soon
And it is weird that cm12.1 failed to you too, me with other users already installed other roms, like this one or cm12.1 and it flashed well
All from us for Honor 4X Che understand your frustration too, since even the other devs here of the 4X (che1) ignore us, but at least now someone want to help us,so we need to support him
And yes it is sad that even a dev from other phone is helping us, the only dev we had sold his phone
Thank you for the answer. Can you tell me what you wiped before flashing the CM 12.1? How did you perform the wipe? With format? I think there must be something remaining when you flash CM 12.1, which I am wiping.
Maybe I am flashing the wrong rom. I don't know that there exists any rom of CM for Che2-L11. The one I am flashing, I had to change the update-script to remove first line. Where is the CM12.1 for Che2-L11? I don't think any exists.
I fully understand the situation with lack of devs. I think it can be improved with some better documentation, for example we can make a separate thread here.

When I install custom Roms, first I install any p8 lite ROM (emui) then flash it, and then I have no problems
Sent from my Che2-UL00
So I should download the rom zip from p8lite thread and pm XePeleato for a compatible kernel for it to boot? Sorry but there's too many instruction. I can't follow btw I'm on b515. Should I use a p8lite rom for it to work?
@ericotena for now he want to test that we users with 4x, all of them doesn't work to see rare things, for example an 4X working
i mean yes download atleast the zip now, and try with those steps, personally i tested using 4X and @MarcoPLs with P8 lite rom, and we made it to test
Xepeleato said it is enought that if you quote him in 1 comment, so he will pm you then with a rom
@XePeleato I want to test it too when it is available haha. Thanks for your efforts on this rom!!!!
@XePeleato I really appreciate your great job and I wish you can help us , our poor Huawei honor 4x users :laugh:
Don't worry, I couldn't PM you yesterday because the build didn't finish (nothing I can do about it). As far as I know, the ROM has to be compatible with Che2-L11, but if there's other more 'compatible' model I'd like to know it, like the ALE-L21 for the P8 lite.

You're doing great job my friend

I have noticed that there is no TWRP recovery available for our device and also no custom rom which i wanted for customization as stock rom doesn't have it.
If anyone found TWRP recovery for mi a1. please post here as I want to root my device.
Bro, you can root your device without TWRP, but yes we all are looking for the TWRP for our lovely device, hope someone will crack it soon, hope for the best !
Rooting method - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mia1-twrp-t3678453
This phone is awesome, I like RAM management of this phone. I don't think this phone requires any customisation and guys feel innovative of this ROM atleast for few month's.
Is rom customization was what you were after then you should not have gotten this device. The A/B partition makes development hard. This is the main problem the pixels had and why many developers stopped working on devices with that partition.
I know that
Last gen Android one devices had rich custom ROM development. I expect same for mi A1. Though it will take some time, but twrp and custom ROMs will soon be available. I want custom ROM for features like night light, pixel color palette, double tap to sleep, button customisation, button led, etc, etc.
Custom ROM and Custom Kernals will only be available when OeM will release the source code
Official TWRP for Xiaomi Mi A1
But for my knowledge, the official twrp is already released. I have the file but as I'm new in the forum so I'm not able to post the external link in the post. DM me if anyone needs the link.
(If have any doubt you can check the compatibility directly boot from this twrp without flashing stock.)
So I just confirmed with Phhusson Treble ROMs working on our Taimen.
Taimen was long time the only device that supported Treble but could not benefit from Treble based ROMs becuase of verified boot, but a way around it has just been confirmed working.
See https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+/master/target/board/treble_common.mk#52 for the code behind it
And this vbmeta.img from Phhusson allows bypassing verified boot https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657591211 this image is to be flashed to vbimage partition right after flashing treble system image
Credits to Phhusson for the code and work on Treble
Credits to me for all the testing and debugging
Credits to MishaalRahman for the idea
So what does any of this mean? Pixels run stock android as stock rom anyway?
True, currently it doesn't make much sense to use Phh rom over stock, but Treble might make things much easier for custom ROM devs and future ROMs once support from Google ends.
Cheers
Cool! Does this potentially mean that possibly custom ROMs would be able to be flashed on locked bootloaders

I mean yea this is all well and good but until we have an img we can flash with fastboot to give us access to all (samsung, htc, lge, MIUI) custom spins of android this really won't attract much attention. I'm looking forward to it as much as you, since we can poke and prod at these vendor images to find a way to simplify ROM creation. However I have yet to encounter such images. I guess I'm pretty new to this stuff so maybe there's someone out there with access to the latest samsung vendor images.
The concept of flashing a single vendor.img to the bootloader to switch android 'spins' is in itself an extrEMELY attrActive one. I hope the android gods bless us with such a revalation.
i tried it with rr treble but does not work for me.
i clean flashed all , do a factory reset . After that i flash system image to system . And now? vbmeta flash in twrp to boot or vendor?
I have the same question.

Hello guys, I had successfully updated to official Pie, but now I regret it since Google Camera doesn't work.
Also, some people on the Xiaomi discord tried to install custom ROMs but they ended up bricking (or almost bricking) their phone.
Did anyone try to revert to 8.1 or just simply succeed flashing a custom ROM without facing any serious problems?
I think I'm not the only one with this issue, I'm grateful for any help provided.
Have a nice day!
Yes I have successfully revorted to stock 8.1

me , i was no some lucky. i think i device it's brick, because after i reinstall 8.1 with november update from xiaomi website, my device boot for a few seconds with android one logo and after that he restart.
the only way to use my phone, is to install a custom rom or a android 8.1 beta (8.5.11)
Before getting back to stock 8.1 i have repartitioned in twrp and that's why am successfully installed stock 8.1 November 1 patch

Oww, that's explain all.
Anyway..Can you say me how you do that? I don't know how to partition Twrp
On which ROM r u
Now i am on Stock 8.1 Nov but don't want to start
@Akhil bro
If you've been on stock Pie before downgrading can you tell us the EXACT steps how you downgraded to Oreo? Thanks in advanced
This method works if u are on pixel experience ROM
And these steps are given by Gautam thapper/
Download treble twrp from XDA
Boot into twrp then go to Tissot manager from advanced options then select repartition
After select repartition u need not change any thing just press next at last u will be asked to select type of boot u have to select single boot system..
After this get into fastboot use miflash tool rest of the process are same
Also do watch this video

@Akhil bro thanks but since I am on stock Pie ROM and a lot of people have bricked theirs I'm not gonna do it. Thanks for the information though!
Hi, I recently bought an used OnePlus 8 Pro and it was already updated to Android 11. After repairing it, I discovered that it's not possible to run TWRP on this firmware version.
Couldn't I just go ahead and downgrade the OS in order to run TWRP on it or is it basically impossible like on the latest Samsung Galaxy S-series devices?
Would be glad if someone could answer me that question. I kinda tried to boot into twrp because I was too quick to read the thread but it just caused my device to run into Qualcomm Emegency Mode.
What do you need twrp for? If it's just to root and almost everything else... It can be done via other means.

I also counter the same problem, i just want to use twrp to flash another rom. Do you have any solution? I have search the forum but i didnot find something useful.

Hmmmm the way I've seen a lot of custom roms... They're installed/flashed partition by partition in bootloader via fastboot.....I guess if you have to use twrp to flash the entire rom you do need to downgrade to os 10.

Thank you for your response. i think i just did not catch up the latest progress. Would you please help me find the instruction about how to flash rom in the new way you mentioned ? thank you so much.
And i still have the same question , is it necessary for us to downgrade to android 10 and then start flashing rom.
Look at the roms in the subforum here:
OnePlus 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other
Improve your OnePlus 8 Pro 's battery life, performance, and look by rooting it and installing a custom ROM, kernel, and more.
forum.xda-developers.com
I just looked at some popular ones like Pixel experience and Lineage and they're both flashed in this way. Look at the opening post where the instructions are... Seems like Pixel Experience there's a batch file that flashes the partitions but it's essentially done this way without twrp.

thank you for your reply, I already tried to flash pixel experience, i followed the install guide but failed to flash its recovery file.
Install PixelExperience on instantnoodlep - PixelExperience Wiki

Because it requires installing rom from recovery, so I get stuck here.
The problem is the device enters crash dump mode when switched to recovery mode. I guess the reason is that my p8pro is in andriod 11 before i flash recovery. now the device can enter android 11 normally but the recovery don't function. So I am here to ask is it necessary for me to downgrade to android 10 to solve the problem.

Thank you for your reply, it help me a lot. i have already flash my device lineage os . Regarding the problem i mentioned in my last reply, it seems the install guide is for android 10. As for android 11 , i think it needs a payload dumper to extract all files and flash them one by one.

I think the answer depends why do you need twrp. If you just want to flash a rom like me, you can find a custom rom supporting android 11,for example lineage os and you can flash all files it requires without twrp.
If you want to flash a android 10 rom or you just want to flash twrp , i don't know how, maybe you should downgrade.
