Hello,
I wanted to reach out as I am having some difficulty getting custom ROMs to work correctly, and the issues I am experiencing seem to be unique in that no-one else in the ROM threads are having the same issues, so I suspect there may be something I am missing that is causing me issues.
I previously was on an older version of lineage, but decided to take the plunge and try out treble, so I have upgraded myself to EMUI 8.
The version I went to is 8.0.0.369, although the build number shows as 8.0.0.046 (0OXY).
From there I flashed a Treble TWRP - https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...lopment/unofficial-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-t3773970
I then went to try out Haky86's LineageOS 16.0 Huawei P8 Lite 2017 PRA-LX1, but this required me to flash a new TWRP, but I had to do a ADB shell command to clear data every time I went into TWRP. I had a few other issues too, but there isn't much point going into them here. I raised them on the thread.
I then tried out DarkJoker360's LineageOS 15.1 for Huawei P8 Lite 2017 but I kept getting strange issues on first launch (Google services crashing etc)
I am now back to stock.
I can't work out why I am getting all of these strange issues given that most users don't have a problem. Is there something I am missing here?
I am pretty familiar with the standard process of flashing a ROM:
Clear Data & System
Flash ROM & GApps
Wipe data & Clear cache
Apologies for the long story, and thanks for your time in advance!
Thanks,
Charlie
Hey,thats my way.
After brick i flashed new stockrom over erecovery with wifi,in new rom it comes directly the last ota update,bo problem at all.
So i have perfectly installed all rom etc on my pra lx1.
First ive flashed Ascuccius twrp (need bootloader unlocked),from twrp i choosed shutdown device.
Now power on the phone until see the bootscreen with the warning blabla.There ive used volume + to boot to erecovery,there i done factory reset and reboot to twrp,in twrp i format data partition and rebootet to once more to twrp to flash rom and gapps with dalvik and cache wipe after flash,rebootet and have errors like you.So again to erecovery and again factory reset,now in twrp i flashed rom and gapps and wiped dalvik and cache and reboot system,boom,perfect.After this flashed Magisk to root,even perfect till now,have tested 3 times with different pie roms,no issues at all.So i hope you have luck and fun by do it,many greetz!!!

EDIT: the problem is solved, see my last post
Hey guys,
I'm not new to installing roms, as I did with my SGS 2 before. But I haven't done it for a long time and it's the first time I do it on my SGS 5... with no success at all.
The problem is that, out of all the roms I've tried, none of them boot up entirely without crashes. I've followed the instructions to the letter and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Here's what I had before starting to fiddle:
SGS 5 G900F, no specific carrier, bought in Europe
stock android/touchwiz 5.0, never rooted or anything
Here are the roms I have tried:
cynaogen 5.1.1 12.1 20150508 for klte + these gapps http://teambliss.x10host.com/BlissStalk/Gapps/ --> stays blocked on the samsung logo forever
BlissPop 5.1.1 v3.3 20150515 for klte + pa_gapps-stock-5.1-20150418-signed or pa_gapps-modular-full-5.1-20150418-signed --> google newstand and another google app are crashing in a loop during the setup, I can't tap any button
PAC 5.1.1 20150503 for klte + pa_gapps-stock-5.1-20150418-signed or pa_gapps-modular-full-5.1-20150418-signed --> the install wizard application itself is crashing in a loop
THe kernels I've tried:
KT-SGS5-LP5.1-AOSP-G900-05.02.2015
boeffla-kernel-2.0-beta8-CM12.1-g900f.recovery
My recovery:
twrp-2.8.6.0-klte (flashed with Odin, it works fine, and I could boot the stock rom without problems with it)
Any idea about the cause of the problem?
Thanks
I guess if you are not new to stuff like this, you have 100% wiped everything before flashing in TWRP recovery, and factory reset / wiped caches after flashing the ROM and Gapps?

Yes, before and between installing different roms, I wiped everything: system, cache, dalvik, internal storage
I've also flashed twrp previous version 2.8.5.0, and philz touch recovery. They all work fine, but still can't boot any rom
Strangely, I now works using this version of CM 12.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-android-5-1-t3066252
I have no idea why I had all these crashes and boot problems with the other 3 roms.

Hi guys,
I have the standard note III 9005 and I had always installed CFWs on it.
I wanted to update to newer 6.0.1 Roms (had 6 roms before) but I seem to have a VERY annoying bug:
I tried to install Temaseks rom and resurrection rom but I had huge issues with it. I got bootloops although I got the newest 3.0.2.0 Team Win Recovery Project
I installed rom, GAPPS (correct version of course 6.0.1) , install rom again then delete cache and then it worked on both roms.
So a simple "install rom, GAPPS, then clean cache" didnt work. I tried to install multiple times until I got the installation! YAY! BUUUT!
Here is the fun part:
If I restarted the phone acidentally or on purpose I got stuck in a bootloop. After that the phone was unuseable again so the installation was useless.
Only solution is to completely wipe and reinstall and experiment with the order of installation until it works!
I did install STOCK rom because I was so freaked out and then went with ODIN the complete rooting guide for clean rooting, but still problem exists.
I tried two other roms but the problem was that while flashing the phone restarted automaticly and then TWRP said no installed rom? ???
Huge thanks for helping me!
New info:
I was able to make the rom work. I restarted and got stuck into bootloop!
I could boot normally after deleting dalvik cache!
But after rebooting I got into bootloop. Tried deleting cache again but this time it never booted properly.
How can I avoid by always deleting dalvik whenever I have to restart my phone (if battery dies or purpose)?
PPS: Stock Rom flash works flavlessly. I am waiting in stock rom until I find a proper solution :"(
Suggest you read the roms faqs and Q&A particularly with regard to TWRP .
Hi friends! I really feel frustrated with this phone.
I began by using fastboot to flash TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-1-s2), used it to flash Lineageos 13.0, but IR BLASTER doesn't work, then I flashed 14.1 and IR blaster, Sim detection, flashlight and camera don't work correctly, I tried Resurrection remix and MIUI8 too but I gave up, neither of those Custom Roms works as I wanted them to.
So I went back to EUI and all was well until I wanted to update OTA, it gave me an error every time, tried to do it with update.zip but nothing, using stock recovery and nothing. I used TWRP and wipe everything again, now this thing won't start it just bootloops, I tried everything for two days and every time I use a stock ROM (5.8.020s) it gives me an error, or tells me it can't be read. When I factory reset and format everything it tells me I dont have an OS installed, so I'm completely lost I don't know what else to do and I can't return the phone because I'm overseas right now.
I really need to have it as when I got it the first time because at least it was functional but I just can't get it to work
I could really use some help right now :crying: thanks in advance guys!

So I managed to fix the problem. When you root this phone or in fact just flash a custom recovery like TWRP, it changes the model of the phone, If you unroot the phone you won't be able to receive OTAs anymore even if you are on stock ROM, you'll always get an error at the end of the update even if you do it manually, if you are dumb like me and didn't make a backup of your stock system, you won't find any help on the internet more than to install a custom ROM and learn to live with the errors and bugs. I did not want that so to be able to get the phone to its factory state, what I did was this:
1. Download: stock recovery image for Le s3 x522 (official, you can find it anywhere), LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip, bootloader-20S-s2.zip, twrp_s3.img (the chinese TWRP recovery) and S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip
2. Save those zips to the root of the phone, obviously the .img files you are going to flash them through your PC
3. Put the phone in bootloader mode. command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (the official recovery)
4. fastboot boot twrp (the chinese one)
5. From this step what I did was pure luck
6. wipe cache and dalvik and install LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip
7. wipe cache and dalvik and install bootloader-20S-s2.zip
8. wipe cache and dalvik and install S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip
9. Reboot
How and Why did this worked I don't know, I am a noob but please try if you find yourself in the same situation as I was, you don't lose anything with trying, if this doesn't work don't blame me, this worked for my phone.
Greetings friends!
Thanks for putting this guide together, I am in a similar situation in that I reverted to stock everything (1. Installed YDSS chinese twrp, 2. Installed S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802012141S-5.8.020S.zip. This flash was supposed to have installed the stock recovery and overriden the ydss twrp, but didn't, I had to manually flash that after. Everything came back smooth but my updates also failed at recovery.
I am wondering where you got the LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip, bootloader-20S-s2.zip & twrp_s3.img from?
Nice to hear you finally got it to work ! Aren't the X520 and the X522 the same phone ? Why official ROMs are not compatible ?
Hello together,
after 3 Days of reading and searching and testing solutions, I have to ask you if you can solve my problem.
I can't find the reason by myself, because I'm new with this topic. I want to install a Custom ROM on my Huawei P 8 Lite Alice from 2015, but everytime I flash any Custom ROM which should match, it ends in a bootloop (huawei logo, then logo custom rom, then huawei logo etc....).
My device:
Huawei P8 Lite ALE L21 from 2015 - Alice
Built number before start this "project": ALE-L21C432B634
Android 6
Emui 4.0.3
Bootloader unlocked with code generated by dc-unlocker
No Root
My prefered Custom ROM is Lineage OS 14.1 and I tried to flash it following the steps in this thread:
[url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-p8-lite-t3824247[/URL]
1. step - Flash TWRP
First Problem was to install the TWRP 3.1.1 linked in this thread:
[url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/orig-development/twrp-t3583180[/url][/URL]
To flash the TWRP image with adb caused no problem. When I boot into recovery, TWRP starts, but when I touch anything on the screen (like swipe to unlock) the System boots (With OS installed it boots the OS and without it stucks at huawei logo). Booting again into TWRP is no Problem.
I solved this problem with a TWRP image 3.1.0-1 from this forum:
[url]https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p8-lite.2476/huawei-p8lite-neues-inoffizielles-twrp-3-1-0-1-von-surdu_petru-xda.826139.html[/URL]
The thread references on the same XDA thread mentioned above, but it is linked to another version of TWRP image. This Version 3.1.0-1 is working good.
2. step - flash EMUI 4.1
I flashed the EMUI Update B896 with TWRP. In the thread to the Lineage OS 14.1 mentioned above, it is described that you need this update. I used the linked .zip.
Steps:
1. Wipe Data, internal storage, system, Dalvik Cache, Cache (all except micro sd card).
2. Format Data
3. Reboot into TWRP
4. flash .zip from SD card
5. Wipe Davlik Cache and Cache
5. Reboot System
After that :
Android 6
Build number: ALE B896
EMUI: 4.1
The updated ROM works good.
3. Step - Flash Lineage OS 14.1
Steps:
1. Wipe Data, internal storage, system, Dalvik Cache, Cache (all except micro sd card).
2. Format Data
3. Reboot into TWRP
4. flash .zip from SD card
5. Wipe Davlik Cache and Cache
5. Reboot System
Result Boot Loop :victory:
Trouble shooting:
I tried to install different TWRP versions, but only the TWRP 3.1.0-1 works.
I useb adb sideload to flash the Lineage
I flashed the EMUI 4.03. I had before and than Lineage 14.1 (EMUI works, but Lineage doesn't)
I wiped dalvik cache and data, cache after flashing Lineage, to fix the bootloop
I flashed versions of Lineage OS 14.1 from different dates and different download websites
I flashed different Custom ROMS - all the same Problem except Lineage 13.0. Lineage 13.0 boots till it is ready to "preparing" apps and than boots again.
Now I don't know what do do and would be very thankful to get some new ideas to try or perhaps a solution
Thank you! :highfive:
The ROM needs Emui 4.1 B895/B896 update to be installed first
Then unlock bootloader, flash twrp then flash ROM
Thank you for your help. I'll try this. So I have to lock bootloader again first?
No. You flash the update with twrp
Go to step 6 in the first post on this thread

Maybe I described it not so good in my first post but I think I did it already exactly like that.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash Emui 4.1 update B896 ( its working on my phone now)
4. Flash TWRP again
5. Flash Custom Rom ( evertime the result is a bootloop)
Or did I overlook anything?
Sorry I didn't read that part where you flashed emui 4.1
Lineage os 14.1 works for me.
Did you try Resurrection Remix OS

Thank you very much, that you tried to help me Im happy about all suggestions.
Yes I tried RR and Paranoid, but its the same Problem. I'm wondering that the EMUI Roms which are not officially from Huawei work and any custom rom does not. Maybe there is a Problem with the structure of my system but I dont know anything about this stuff and how to find out the reason for my Problem:laugh:
Maybe you know a command for adb or android terminal app to check if everything is ok?

Hello everyone, I'm trying to flash Havoc os 3.0 alongside with BitGaps, but it always ends up in a bootloop (I always wait one hour in the "android" boot screen). My device is the A205G with Android 10. I successfully flashed TWRP using the guide posted here in xda (also flashed magisk), then I flashed Havoc and BitGaps (wiping dalvik, cache, data and system first and then doing a factory reset), but ended up in a bootloop after rebooting to system. In a second try after reinstalling Android 10 stock rom I followed the steps shown in a youtube video (can't post link since I'm a new user) with no luck (still getting a bootloop). In a third try I just flashed the stock rom, then flashed twrp with odin and tried to flash Havoc without flashing Magisk at any moment, still bootloop. Any ideas or suggestions on what could be wrong? I've only flashed one device before with a custom rom so I'm not an expert in this area, any help will be appreciated.
Downgrade phone to Android 9, later flash twrp, then install system and Gapps.
