Hello DarkJoker, thanks a lot for the update. After unlocking the bootloader with PotatoNV, reverting to an older stock rom, flashing your TWRP and Lineage ROM according to the guide, flashing your magisk (https://sourceforge.net/projects/darkjoker360-developements/files/Huawei/Generic/Magisk-phh-A11/) and your custom kernel (which supports Permissive SeLinux, https://sourceforge.net/projects/darkjoker360-developements/files/Huawei/P8 Lite 2017/Android-11/Kernel/ ), it works!

There's only one more request I have, as I cannot run frida due to this error: https://github.com/frida/frida/issues/1023 . Is it possible for you to provide a custom kernel with this flag CONFIG_HUAWEI_PTRACE_POKE_ON turned on? It is needed so that users can attach to and analyze applications. Thanks a lot, and keep up the good work!

To anyone interested: I compiled https://github.com/turex/siberia_hi6250_kernel , commit a0a3fbc104d27c5a76894c454ce9c8ff6bef7c42 with the parameters
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE=y
CONFIG_HUAWEI_PTRACE_POKE_ON=y
The resulting kernel seems to work with frida.

Flash with `fastboot flash kernel <kernel image.img>` , at your own risk.

Good idea, I just did and asked him to include the flag, if of course there isn't a good reason to not do it.

Network issue.
Had a 'successful' installation on the first try. I used the quotes because (as it mostly happens for this device with most GSIs I install) I cannot make or receive calls, texts, or run any ussd commands. What could be wrong/is there a possible solution for this recurring issue of mine.
Device: Honor 6x bln 22
Initial state: Stock emui 8.

I have a question. I'm completely new to flashing custom roms. I did some research and it turns out huawei phones are like the worst possible devices for flashing custom roms. I just can't figure out how to unlock the bootloader. How did yall do it?

 

[AltairFR]

Use potatoesnv to unlock the phone

Hi again,

I made another try but neither didn´t work!

First of all I missed to say that I had to try with a LOS 17.1 Android 10 room, because with the one from the Link I received the message "the size is bigger....", so I couldn´t flash it. The size I can flash is about 2.11 Gb, and the room from the Link ca. 2.5 Gb. I´ll be greatfull for an idea to this ISSUE / problem.

From another hand I read another posts and tried everything flashing other files before or after the room: Fstab, Decrypt, PRA-FixPreav, but always without succes... , with the LOS logo looping all the time until to EMUI´s recovery shows up, and sadly had to spend another extra hour ( at 2:00 pm) to undo and reinstall everything as before it was....

I don´t know what more to do, perhaps I´ll search for another LOS 17.1 room with extra files, and will make another try when my childrens and work will let me do it....

I can´t believe that doesn´t work, some time ago flash another phones was easier than now, and It´s becoming an a personal matter to resolve!!

I´ll be happy again if you could please give me some tips about why it´s looping or failing. In case of it will be helpfull, my phone is an "Huawei P8 Lite 2017 PRA-LX1, compilación C-109, EMUI 8.0.0 and CPU Kirin 655 an RAM 3 Gb.

Thank you so much again!!

Best Regards

Hello .

You have a c109 phone, so I think it's a Spanish (orange) phone. It should be transformed into the European version, C432 because this will allow you to install version 8.0.0.402 which has a system partition of 3Go.

To switch to C432 you just have to flash an oeminfo c432 file under twrp, and then you go to androidhost.ru and download the 8.0.0.402 update for pra-lx1

Hi Altair,

Million Thanks again, I downloaded files but not sure if were the right ones. Despite of and after some tries, at fourth one (there was 4 zip files into downloaded main zip) it worked but I think into the 393 version (see attached images)

I need to recover myself from this sucessful update, cause due to two little boys and overbook, I have to do this phone-work at late-nights, and it took many hours...

But I'm confident It will work under the 393 version, I'll let you know as soon as I will get it!

MUCHAS GRACIAS - THANK you so MUCH again for your help, all users really apreciate it!

Best Regards,
Un saludo

Do you think it will work on huawei p9 lite? the devices are the same except the p9 lite has a different rear camera and kirin 650 instead of 655, same gpu, runs emui 5.
