Makes me wonder why companies even provide ZRAM. I had it disabled weeks ago, then re-enabled it because I didn't feel like the phone was better.
they do it on mainly on phones that have 1gb of ram or less but i think its a pain too lol
I tried it just gets stuck in boot. Never goes to AT&T logo.

I tried both with no go.
Stock is what I'm trying to get at so I can update.
I want to flash the system before recovery just Incase system fails and I need to flash again with recovery. Is it even possible to flash recovery whenever the system won't load?
My B130 to B140 update was done over WiFi without mobile data on, so that setting is not necessary as I do not have it.

Yes, try the first part of post 1 instructions where you run TWRP using "fastboot boot....." . I posted instructions on how to easily get into fastboot mode in the middle of the thread somewhere - if you search you'll find it.
So yeah, we should always be able to recover unless it's a major screw up

But can you get into fastboot when the phone won't pass boot?
I read something earlier saying flashing stock won't boot unless you flash recovery as well any truth to this? I thinking not.
Has your phone been in this situation you are asking about? I think you will say yes, and I will ask, how did you recover ?
---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------
If it's enabled on our 2GB phone by default, then I wonder why Huawei did that if it ZRAM eats more battery and CPU? It must be to give the phone the feeling of "more RAM" ?
I personally run many apps at once, so I need all the RAM help I can get, so I think ZRAM is good for my case - each of us has different needs - I realize .

You seem to keep forgetting that 2 of us have restored all the stock backup files and the phone refuses to boot until it's been rooted again.Has your phone been in this situation you are asking about? I think you will say yes, and I will ask, how did you recover

Why do you insist it's easy to return to stock?
You also said more than once you haven't tried it yourself
Sent from my FRD-L04 using Tapatalk
Jumpin' to crazy conclusions .......... You missed my whole point that you can still use fastboot and TWRP to recover the phone when it get stuck.
And I never said that it's easy or possible to go back to stock. I'm just trying to figure out why it's not working .

.Allowing Swipe to Unlock Screen ???
I'm not sure what happened to my phone or when, but if I recall correctly, I was able to choose Swipe to unlock my phone. Now that options is grayed out and I have to choose one of the other options always. Any ideas on what I might have done and how to go back to being able to choose Swipe and no password? Thanks! Factory Reset or Restore is not the answer I'm looking for.

I had the same problem. I had to restore to get the option back in developer mode.

I never tried flashing the recovery been on TWRP since rooting and yes I've been stuck on booting up screen (the one before at&t logo) Everytime I try to flash stock unrooted system and boot. Only ones that work is rooted backups.
You had to restore what and how? Are you saying you restored one of your rooted TWRP backups completely to get this option back? I wonder what I did that made it force a password?
So if I make a backup or my rooted phone and just restore it, you think that will allow me to select no password again?
---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------
When it's in this stuck mode, try connecting to PC and see if adb logcat will output anything if adb connects . Not sure if it will connect or not, but worth a try.

I just thought about something I was wrong. All you need to do to stop the password is wipe data. That will allow you to turn off password or even screen lock in developer.

I have gotten a lot of requests for me to release my current version of LinageOS. I do not want to release it until I have got the GPU and radio bugs worked out.

Wipe data will wipe out all my apps and data, right - thats almost a factory reset.
---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------
@madvane20,
So it is possible to restore back to factory stock from TWRP (and maybe dd for cust) - if I understand correctly - right?
Do your apps and data also get restored by Data partition restore?

Yep, all apps will be gone.
Try, EMUI Theme Editor app I got lucky once with it.
Clear credentials,
create a theme with a different lock screen (don't use magazine)
Click the new theme in themes and restart.
Download a new lock screen.
clear credentials again.
I believe it confused the system and glitches out. It tires to fix the glitch it shut offs both lockscreens and remove the password. I was lucky once doing this. I was able to go into developer and shut off screen lock.
On ZRAM:
My LG G4 which also has ZRAM enabled comes with 3GB RAM, so not just used on low RAM phones.
And another thought I had on CPU consumption is with an octacore like the XT, I bet there's plenty of extra CPU capacity unused most of the time . Would be interesting to know how much battery capacity ZRAM uses.

9Hello, is it going to be possible for a custom recovery and maybe a CyanogenMod ROM for the new H1611 that came out on at&t? I see that root already came out for it.
UPDATE: As of now, we currently have a custom recovery and a systemless root available for the XT The img for the TWRP can be found from this post:
And here are some instructions on how to install the custom recovery and root the XT: (if you're following these instructions, be sure to rename the image file from Xtrecovery to TWRP)
I flashed TWRP, made TWRP backups, flashed SuperSU, and now I got root! Thanks guys!
My notes based on what enigma2446 posted.
I'm assuming you've done some of this before like using adb, fastboot, enabling USB debugging on phone, etc - but feel free to ask questions.
1. Must have unlocked bootloader (instructions early in this thread)
2. Must install adb and fastboot, and USB drivers (I prefer to add the adb/fastboot folder to my path so I don't have to work out of the adb/fastboot folder)
3. Backup all your files from internal storage. They are going to get blown away.
4. Put the SupserSU zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/1019/SuperSU/SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521.zip on your microSD card and remember where you put it.
5. From windows command line with phone on and USB debugging enabled:
a) adb devices (to make sure you device is recognized)
b) adb shell reboot bootloader
6. Confirm phone goes to FASTBOOT & RESCUE mode.
a) fastboot devices (to make sure you device is recognized)
b) fastboot boot TWRP.img (boot the TWRP.img shared in earlier post)
c) Phone will boot into TWRP. Always select Keep Read Only from first screen every time you go into TWRP.
Peek around a bit if you want to, then use TWRP to backup your stock recovery to external micro SD.
d) Reboot bootloader from TWRP again to flash this custom recovery image.
e) fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img (flash TWRP recovery)
7. After phone reboots, get into TWRP recovery using previously described adb command or hold power button and volume up button from power off, then release when you see Huawei logo.
8. From TWRP:
a) Once again, always select Keep Read Only from first screen every time you go into TWRP!
b) Press Settings to adjust display brightness and vibrations settings, then press home button.
c) Wipe - Format Data (Warning: You are about to blow away your files on internal storage - which you should have backed up by now. Read the red text and confirm by typing yes and blue check mark button.
d) Home - Backup - Select all six partitions, then Select Storage - Micro SDCard (very important), OK, then Swipe to Backup. When the backup is finished, Home - Advanced, File Manager, /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/........ and make sure your backup files exist for each of the six partitions.
e) Home - Install then Select Storage - Micro SDCard, find your SuperSU.zip, and flash it. Swipe to confirm Flash. Be patient, as it takes a few minutes.
f) After flashing SuperSU, Wipe Dalvik and Cache, then reboot. Be patient, as it takes a few minutes. My phone rebooted several times.
9. You should have root after your phone boots up and you set it back up!
10. Be sure to make another TWRP backup of System, Data, and Boot after you get root and phone is set up again!
If I have any typos, etc, sorry. Please post to help others.
Thank you everyone for the hard work! (enigma2446, divineBliss, xx_iamxanderman_xx, unque9, dolph8886, mi7chy, jarrettsuydam, ensol52)97
Many think TWRP must be build from source to support new partition but in actual fact Teamwin has made it so easy, all you have to do is edit the recovery.fstab or twrp.fstab, in fact i think it can even make a back up of the whole device Factory ROM with the correct fstab specified thought i didn't try it myself
Kernel source is the single most important thing in porting AOSP & since you guys already have the kernel source though i'm no kernel expert & both is using the same SoC, you can refer to the commits starting from Honor 5X OpenSource (KIW/KII Android 6.0_ EMUI4.0_kernel_overseas)
Android N uses alot of memory to build, advisable to dual-boot since you mentioned VM, my Build-Box native-boot, use to work ok building MM, jack is now complaining Out of memory error & the solutions is to add swap & below scriptmadvane20 said:
