[ROM][prague][11] LineageOS 18.1 for Huawei P8 Lite 2017

[Alex261099]

Yeah me using twrp_p10_lite_0.5_test.img and the 0.6 version since today...your coming from stock rom or custom rom? if custom and it was rootet you need to replace the ramdisk image with the stock one to remove old root ramdisk.

so if you came from stock rom at first it is bull**** that you couldnt downgrade the firmware...latest p10 lite warsaw is B398 my actually downgradet to B378. if that is not possible i must a magican or what xD

just download the matching firmware for your device from

Search - AndroidHost.RU

Check multiple download links at the same time.

androidhost.ru

after downloading the Firmware you want open it go to software/dload and there you see 4 folder and 1 updatesd.zip.
extarct the 1 folder for your device and the updatesd.zip into a createt folder you named dload.

pick a sdcard and copy the dload folder to sd card...format the card before but it should work without formating to.

then put sd card into the phone and start the phone by press and hold Vol+ and - and Pwr until the Huawei logo on screen...the update begins...wait for ending the firmware flash...after that you have option to delete data/reset and the cache. then reboot and tada.

now comes a fix if erecovery package not veryfied but it should work for this here to. you can also download the HWOTA8_PRA from

HWOTA8_PRA.zip - Devdrive - File Hosting For Publishers

Download file - HWOTA8_PRA.zip

devdrive.cloud

in the folder oeminfo/pra you see some files...choose the one for your device and put it on desktop. rename it for exsample from PRA_LX1C432 to PRA-LX1C432.img ok you understand? name keeps like it is and just .img is to add.

start phone in to bootloader(unlocked logical^^)
fastboot flash oeminfo PRA-LX1C432.img

note...i did found this oeminfo fix today and couldnt test until now^^ have found it on 4PDA

so if the fastboot flash did work its a great solution for all who cant do backup before do anything

Ok next...you coming from stock rom and have twrp installed...me using twrp_p10_lite_0.6_test.img

reboot recovery

connect phone to pc and put the fstab.hi6250b.zip to external sd card. if you want put the aosp or lin 18.1 image into external sd to

if done

install from external sd the fstab.hi6250b.zip
go to wipe
data format
there is no need to reboot now
we keep being in wipe menu and delete
cache
dalvik
data
internal storage
system

now reboot to recovery
iinstall the firmware you want from external sd...cause if i do flash it by fastboot command and restart to recovery for expand system partion comes a error. think it was error4 but not sure now^^.
if system is flashed reboot to system to find out that system boot initial startup without bootloop. it should do so.

when it doing so...reboot to recovery and go on the next steps.

hope that will help you even if there was a lot of text

solong
speedson

this is the right procedure. Thanks a lot

NB in twrp select image flash and then system image to flash an img!

Patch to unable AGPS/AGNSS on hi6250 device (Prague/Warsaw....). To use AGPS you must have a data sim.

Après deux mois de travail, voici le patch pour avoir enfin un GPS assisté sur le prague. Il faut bien sur avoir une carte SIM avec la data pour que cela fonctionne. Sans la data vous aurez un GPS normal

Hello,

I'm gettting this:

C:\platform-tools>fastboot flash system C:\platform-tools\lineage-18.1-20210809-UNOFFICIAL-prague.img
Invalid sparse file format at header magic
Sending sparse 'system' 1/6 (460799 KB)            OKAY [ 13.020s]
Writing 'system'                                   FAILED (remote: 'sparse flash write failure')
fastboot: error: Command failed

What's wrong please ?

 

[AltairFR]

3 reasons :
Bad USB cable
Old version of fastboot
FRP or OEM not unlock

I've tested several cable and ports, all give the same result.

Current status of the phone is phone unlocked and frp unlock.

Hi, it's now few month I'm using this ROM on my main phone and i'ts works pretty well, I've installed magisk. Only few issues I will investigate/share later.
For now I'm looking in enabling a contactless payment app. I dont want GPay. My bank offer a paylib implementation ("Mes paiements" from La Banque Postale). The issue is that the app says "La configuration de cet appareil n'est pas compatible avec les exigences de sécurité qu'impose la protection de vos données", just meaning they know I'm rooted. Months ago during tests, i've trying to enable Magisk Hide but it just ****ed up the OS now I have all my things on it...
Does anyone already have done that ?

Hi,
I tried flashing this rom on my stock P8 lite 2017.
After unlocking BL, installing TWRP, and starting installation, I got this issue when typing:

fastboot flash system lineage-18.1-20210809-UNOFFICIAL-prague.img

Invalid sparse file format at header magic
Sending sparse 'system' 1/6 (460799 KB)            OKAY [ 34.846s]
Writing 'system'                                   FAILED (remote: 'sparse flash write failure')
fastboot: error: Command failed

I also have this other issue when trying to format data or wipe system, data ...:

failed to mount system invalid argument

Any idea what could be wrong?

Weird could not find a single helpful guide for reverting back to stock emui 8.
Anyways you could try the tool hwota 8. Here is the official post.

The post was made for p20 lite and the links are down but I will provide you a mirror from my side.
Just follow the steps in the post while using hwota. Get your firmware files at here or here.

Let me know if something does not work as it should.
(Edit: Just a side note, the tool works flawless on my bln-l22)

Thanks for you help!

I'm currently downloading firmware from you links, will let you know how it goes.

Was trying to follow this guide : guide-flash-stock-huawei-firmwares-pra-lx1
but didn't how to use firmware finder to retrieve stock rom and there is a file no check recovery which isn't available anymore...

EDIT: unfortunatey archive is password protected saying you need to buy password from their site... weird!
will try other method through firmware finder

EDIT2: finally managed to revert to stock simply by using the huawei erecovery. I configured wifi and it downloaded and flashed itself

Unfortunaly still not working

I noticed someone else had same issue

@sdkyron did you manage to get the rom flashed?

I'm trying on different laptop with different OS and different cable to see if it helps..
Will let you know.

EDIT: 3rd attempt still the same issue, seems like there is really something wrong..

do you think this rom can be flashed directly from TWRP instead as from fastboot commands?
I wonder if it could solve my issue ..

 

[PanRebigiusz]

After flash this rom on huawei p9 lite 2017 my phone reset and go to erecovery. What should I do? ( sorry for my english)

 

[AltairFR]

If your phone go to recovery, is that there was a problem in your installation sequence or that your original ROM was not a version between 375 and 390 (emui 8)

NFC not working on mine.
Doesn't matter how many times did I flash the NFC_Fix.zip.

What I am doing wrong?

 

[lapourganer]

The NFC is also a little buggy for me. Sometime it doesn't wan't to read tag while NFC is enabled. Also sometime in option Android Beam show "functionality unavailable because NFC is disabled" although NFC is enable.
