flashing troubles - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having trouble flashing my P8lite with a custom rom, every rom I try twrp tells me it's for hi6210sft and my device is a p8litekirin.
Anyone know a fix for this, or point me in the direction of a rom that does work with p8litekirin?
(I can flash it with a stock rom but then I'd need to install TWRP again, as somehow latest stock firmware seems to overwrite and keeps overwriting custom recovery at every attempt I tried to install. Needed to do a rollback via adb to get twrp working again)
Thanks in advance

First of all before flashing any custom ROM on this device flash B896 first.
It's normal for the custom recovery to be replaced with stock one when you flash stock firmware.
After you flashed B896, reboot the phone into bootloader mode aka fastboot, flash twrp and then try to flash a custom rom of your choice.

no custom recovery after flashing UHOJ4 bootloader

Hi,
I had several problems with custom rom, so I went back to stock ROM (latest MOB version) to start everything new.
Now I got the problem that it is not possible to flash CWM or TWRP again (tried different versions to flash with odin). I also tried to get back to UHOL2 bootloader and modem, bootloader is now UHOL2 but also custom recovery not working.
Any ideas how to get TWRP working again?
Thx
Jürgen
Can you root it?
Then you might be able to use flashify to flash the recovery.img

Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing TWRP trough Odin.
used CF Auto root - Phone Info says that root is working
which recovery.img should I try - CWM or TWRP doesn't matter for me
TWRP. CWM is outdated.
Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing TWRP trough Odin and removing battery was the solution!
Thx
Selecting auto reboot after flashing twrp causes the stock recovery to overwrite twrp and this is why the phone should be booted into twrp right after flashing.

How to revert back to the stock firmware?

Hi All,
A couple of days back, I installed custom ROM (Recreated Remix Leopard) successfully on Zenfone 5. I was on the stock lollipop 3.24.40.87 firmware before that. I rooted, unlocked Bootloader and installed TWRP recovery on the stock ROM and I also took a nandroid backup. After using the custom ROM, I decided to go back to the stock ROM. I used the nandroid backup for restoring and got the stock ROM. But, now I want to go back to the stock Kitkat ROM (as the lollipop sucks) and I also don't want the custom recovery or anything. In short, I want to revert my phone to the real factory condition.
I tried to go back to Kitkat by the ASUS official method. But that didn't work. Then I tried to re-lock the Bootloader with the tool from which I unlocked it. But when I did that, I got stuck on the USB logo screen. So, I unlocked it again with the same tool and the phone starts normally. So, how do I get back now?
What would happen if I flash the stock ROM via TWRP? Will it remove the custom recovery and lock the Bootloader?
I read a couple of articles, a few of them suggested to install the stock ROM with the official ASUS method (copy the files in internal storage and the phone will notify to install the update). The article even says that by this method any custom modifications (recovery, root, Bootloader) will be deleted. Is it true or will this work?
Thanks in advance!

Link rom WW 3.24.40.87 modded, flash via TWRP: drive.google.com/open?id=0B7Py5ad2aHwKMHRsZ1NJM0tfLTQ
If you flash this rom, it will not remove the custom recovery + lock the Bootloader
If you having a problem while flashing this rom, you need to flash stock recovery 2.22.40.54, after that you can sideload stock rom via ADB
Sorry for my bad english ^^

Hi, thank you for the reply
You said WW 3.24.40.87 modded, do you mean that this rom is not the official one? Does it improves the battery life and other bugs of the stock rom?
I really appreciate your help!
You cannot flash stock rom via TWRP!
This is modded rom, so you can flash it via TWRP easily....
It's Official rom from Asus, just modded to be able flash through TWRP

Thank you for the info
But the thing is that I am already on the stock 3.24.40.87 rom and I want to go back to Kitkat 2.22.40.54 because it has much more improved battery performance than the lollipop. Is there any modded version of the stock Kitkat rom too? Or how do I go back to it?

Bricked SM-J500FN (After flashing TRWP)

So I rooted my Samsung Galaxy J5 (SM-J500FN) by flashing CF-Autoroot with ODIN, and then I wanted to flash TRWP so I could install XPosed Framework.
After flashing TRWP with no errors on ODIN, if I try to reboot normally or in recovery the screen slowly turns green?
I managed to get into Download mode and connected to ODIN, but I cannot flash a new ROM as you cannot flash .zip files. (I have a LineageOS rom and my Stock ROM with build number J500FNXXU1BQA4)

The screen turns green when you flash the wrong TWRP (not corresponding to your Android version) or when you flash Lollipop roms over Marshmallow and vice versa (except MM/N cm/aosp roms which must be flashed on LP).
You can flash only stock rom (.tar format file) with Odin.
TWRP for lollipop 5.1.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3468844 .
TWRP for Marshmallow 6.0.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j500f-t3416960 .
Flash the correct TWRP according to your Android version. I believe you must reflash stock rom with Odin first since you're screen is turning on, but try to flash the correct TWRP first and see if you get rid of your problem. If not, then reflash stock rom and then flash TWRP again.

Wow, thanks a lot.
The thread where I got the TWRP from didn't show that it was for 5.1.1, I flashed TRWP for 6.0.1 and my phone worked again and the TWRP works!
Thanks!!

Flash Stock Rom from Custom bootloader (like TWRP)

Hi there,
Would I be able to flash the stock rom if I extracted the required images from the UPDATE.APP using huawei's tool and flashed them through TWRP?
I would like to flash a stock rom without touching the recovery if i can..

Guys Help i cant get back stock recovery.

I am currently on orangefox recovery and c38 rom, but i want tupdate to rui 2.0 so need to lock bootloader, but cant get back stock recovery. Tried flashing ozip but still orangefox exists. Please help
Flash the full stock rom
And if that dosent work, find the stock rom
Unzip it and fastboot flash recovery.img from that stock rom
Use Realme Flash tools with .OFP files.
