how to install roms?

[xSpartacusx]

im fairly new to the rooting scene ive rooted a couple devices before but roms are a new thing to me..


how do i go about installing a rom, such as the unofficial lineage os rom that was made for the honor 6x (in these forums)?

im in the process of unlocking my bootloader and doing a basic root. how can i also acquire a stock firmware and stock rom incase something goes bad and i can restore my device?

thank youuu

*PS is a BLN-L24 model

Follow the instructions carefully mentioned in specified rom page...that should be sufficient but u should be extra careful as this is a kirrin device

Tips...

Remove fingerprints and key on stock rom
Just wipe data, system, cache... don't touch vendoe, product etc when you r going to flash LOS or AOSP
If your going los by hassan - go to advanced wipe in twrp - select data - repair or change file system - ext4 - format
If you are going to elite rom - just format data in f2fs

Rest is very clear in instructions

P.S. - ALWAYS TAKE COMPLETE BACKUP IN TWRP OR ELSE YOU WILL BE F****ED UP

i got it rooted,

now question is, i was looking to do the LOS one by hassan.. do i need to flash in a different twrp recovery other than the one i used in the guide thats posted on here, and if so how can i do so without messing something up? then, i assume hes asking to flash in a new kernel? how?

No need to flash kernel ...It's inbuilt
Yes..u need to flash 3.1.1-1 twrp by hassan ..link provided in that rom page.
Its very easy to flash and more advanced twrp
U could google 'how to flash twrp with twrp' just needs 2 steps

can i just do
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img

but with the other file name for the correct twrp recovery?

ok another question the direction on his post for LOS say to wipe data, the two caches and system and then flash the rom... wouldnt i lose the twrp recovery when i wipe those 4 things?

No it wont. There is no way to wipe TWRP from TWRP (dont clear internal and external storage)
Just follow the instructions carefully.
ALso refer this guide for backup in case you messed up (method given for backup)

Did you remove encryption by formatting data with typing yes.
Which all partition you wiped before installation.

 

[xSpartacusx]

i tried that, but i wiped dalvik cache data and system, as the instructions said to
