can upload X00H please

check out my collection post.
You'll 100% find the LOS rom file for the X00H model archived over Wayback.

Note:
If you find the LOS recovery for the X00I, don't flash it on your X00H.
It should render the phone unbootable on recovery and redirect you to Fastboot/Bootloader mode. Worse case scenario would be a brick happening.

Extra note:
Only the X00H's ROM for Lineage got effectively preserved.
I'm sure flashing it on a X00I should make the phone refuse to boot at all since boot, system, and cache partitions got overwritten- that is, after unlocked the bootloader and flashed PBRP over the recovery partition
(yet, if the user tries to flash it w/ PBRP: the custom recovery will refuse to flash it because it's made for another model).

I'm new here and was looking to try flashing this firmware. Seems like some people were looking for the old files. They are all here:

index - powered by h5ai v0.30.0 (https://larsjung.de/h5ai/)

index - powered by h5ai v0.30.0 (https://larsjung.de/h5ai/)

lineage.sebaubuntu.dev

Got it installed! Only thing that isn't working is the fingerprint scanner/Home button. Looking to use softkeys to restore home button functionality, also looking for a Magisk image to use for root.

The sebaubuntu.dev link @miya0405 posted above seems to have a boot.img, wonder if that is indeed the magisk file

 

[miya0405]

Finally got this to work. I also couldn't get the fingerprint button to work.

The recovery.img that Seba provided didn't seem to work for me and only TWRP 3.2.2. Then I updated the pie firmware and the Lineage firmware installed after that without any problems.

looks like the boot.img file offered on the site is a clean one.
I'm convinced Seba must have left it to be patchable via the magisk app, then patch via magisk (locally or via a secondary device), then flash it either via custom recovery or fastboot with another device for then obtaining root perms- just jumped on the bandwagon too
