Hi so I've been tinkering with my Mediapad M3 to get 5ghz wifi to work on it. I got it to work but then I needed to unroot my system.

I used this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/how-to-to-stock-emui-5-0-flashing-twrp-t3679985 and now I'm stuck at the part where it says to flash the Vendor.img using the install tool in TWRP.

My problem is that there is no Vendor partition in TWRP to install the vendor image to. I'm using this version of twrp: twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img that I got from this forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/twrp-greatslon-mod-t3489232 It's the only version of twrp that I've found that works on my device.

All the other instructions work but I think without the vendor image the rest of the system won't work properly.

I've also tried to fastboot flash the vendor image and I get the following error message:

Writing 'vendor' FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed') fastboot: error: Command failed

This is driving me nuts so any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
