[ROM][Huawei][13] LeaOS - Lineage 20.0 for Huawei device (EMUI 9.1 version)

[InFTord]

Hello, I have been trying to install this with no luck. I have an FIG-LX1 (bootloader & FRP unlocked) with TWRP already installed.

I'm stuck on the second step, where I need to flash the .img file I downloaded. This is the output I get from fastboot flash system LeaOS-20.0-20230331-iceows-google-fig.img: (the same also happens with the image that doesn't have gapps)

Sending sparse 'system' 1/7 (460796 KB)            OKAY [ 13.743s]
Writing 'system'                                   FAILED (remote: 'sparse flash write failure')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Can someone point me in a direction to go? I've been googling for hours with no avail.

(the phone currently cannot boot into any OS. only TWRP I got from this post)

a quick question: why did you decided to use this ROM?
i wanna install custom ROM on my phone, can't decide which one

As Skole previously, and according to the official Magisk procedure, I should have the "recovery.img" file to patch with Magisk. Unfortunately, this file is nowhere ?

-----------------------
EDIT: after discussing with @Skole yesterday (thank you again!), I finally got the point. If you want to root your FIG-LX1, you should download the official Huawei's stock ROM and then extract the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from it (you can use tools like Huawei Update Extractor to do so).
Then, use Magisk to patch the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img file. At last, you should flash it in fastboot mode with the command

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk /path/to/magisk_patched.img

Note that the command below doesn't work

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/magisk_patched.img

Next, when your phone is off, press Power + Vol+ buttons ; realease them when you see the splash screen Huawei.

You can follow this popular tutorial to root your phone, but keep in mind the advices above

If something went wrong (like me yesterday ), look at the "dload" method to unbrick your phone thanks to EMUI !

Merci beaucoup AltairFR for LeaOS ! You and Skole give my huawei a new life !

Could you or anyone help me?

I feel like I followed all the steps but still don't get either the recovery_ramdisk nor the recovery to be altered.
I extraced the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from the original stock rom and used the Magisk app to create the magisk_patched.im and with an elevated console on Windows I get these results.
Tried also to get TWRP. I never had so many issues to flash devices, HUAWEI seems far mor compicated than Samsung/Motorola/HTC etc.

Always 'Command not allowed'.

My bootloader looks as this:

Anyone has an idea, what I am doing wrong?

Yes just unlock phone

What is the exact setting? I don't see it xD

I Unlocked the bootloader using: https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-huawei-p-smart-2018-fig-using-potatonv/

I Unlocked the bootloader using: https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-huawei-p-smart-2018-fig-using-potatonv/

Ok good news. I managed to unlock the bootloader.

Then I tried to flash the OS but had the problem with the partition being too small.
So I flashed the other smaller version of the OS suggested.
I also flashed the TWRP as in the picture of my last post.
But every time I enter TWRP the phone is vibrating permanently for a few seconds and switching to fastboot mode. So I can't resize the partition, as all the guides I find tell me that TWRP is needed.

What can I do now?
What are the exact steps to get TWRP correctly to my device? Or how can I fix the vibrating/switching-to-fastboot issue?

@AltairFR à propos, merci beaucoup pour ton travail!

For root, you need first boot the ROM, after install magisk and then patch the recovery stock from here on install option. After that, transfer the patched image to your PC and reboot to fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched-12345_example.img

• Type fastboot reboot in cmd, don't enter yet.
• Hold your phone in one hand pressing volume up and power at the same time.
• Press enter on the keyboard, phone will reboot.
• Instantly disconnect the usb cable from the phone while holding the buttons volume up and power.
• Phone will reboot one more time. Hold the buttons until bootloader warning appears. Remove your fingers from the buttons. Phone will boot.

As a summary, after installing Magisk in recovery (starting from power off):

• (Power up normally) → (System with NO Magisk)
• (Power + Volume Up) → (Splash screen) → (Release all buttons) → (System with Magisk)
• (Power+ Volume Up) → (Splash screen) → (Long press volume up) → (Recovery Mode)

(Note: You CANNOT use custom recoveries to install or upgrade Magisk in this case!!)

This is required because our figo doesn't have ramdisk on boot.img, there is no other alternative than this to get Magisk.

Thanks, it runs good on FIG-LX1 but i got a little problem with bluetooth.

When I try to pair my Huawei Band 6 it shows up on Huawei Health scan and I click pair button, it says "Please confirm pairing on your wearable device" but there is nothing on Band 6, after few seconds Huawei Health says failed to pair. I double-checked every permission it needs.
I tried other BLE apps on Play Store. They found it but couldn't connect. Other ROMs (GSIs and ROMs made for this device) have the same problem. Only Stock ROM worked normally and paired without any issues.

Here is the logcat from the time i start the scan from Huawei Health to the time it says failed to pair.

I tried it, it just booted into some other version of erecovery,is it maybe because I'm on EMUI 8? I checked magisk, there's no root, I released the buttons when the splash screen appeared, I even tried at the vibrating, it just booted normally into EMUI without root.

Hi, a couple of questions (I suspect both are as a result of my limited grammar skills):

Regarding the "Pre-requisite": "You must have TWRP installed if you want install patch. and a phone with unlock bootloader."

Q1: The installation steps include installing the TWRP image. So it TWRP actually a pre-requisite, or does it mean the "flash twrp image" step of the installation is optional? (Basically, seems weird [to me] to require TWRP to be installed already if flashing it is one of the install steps.)
Q2: Is the unlocked bootloader only required "if you want install patch", or is it strictly required (in order to do either of the flashing steps).

Hi I am testing the version "LeaOS-20.0-20240323-iceows-google-fig.img.xz" on fig-lx3, it seems that everything works, I will be reporting bugs. Will there be more updates? and what version of magisk is used to root?

 

[Advanced07]

anything for the nova 3i?

the only bug i found was that when i put my sd card as main storage, it crashes the system with ramdoms reboots, it doesn't turn on sometimes. For my FIG-LX3 I have the sd as portable storage there nothing happens and from there no bugs and fluid.

LineageOS don't really support main storage on sdcard

ok thanks for the tip, I just have one question and that is if you are going to keep updating LeaOS.

@kracc Could you tell us a little about your experience with this rom ?
