So I decided to try to flash a Generic System Image (GSI)...

[TheParallelOne]

aaaaand it booted!
I just flashed Resurrection Remix GSI by phhusson and it works. With EMUI 8 beta you can now flash a treble ROM. Still, this requires further testing so be careful. I'm not responsible for bricked phones. Here are the steps:

1. Make sure your device is on EMUI 8 beta with unlocked bootloader (guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/hwota7-hwota8-honor-6x-t3792601)

2. Download GSI from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...opment/resurrection-remix-phh-treble-t3767688 and move it to the folder where you installed ADB

Note: Honor 6x doesn't support seamless update so you want the A-only image, not the A/B one. Just in case you don't know already, Honor 6x has arm64 architecture.

3. Open cmd and navigate to your ADB folder

4. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and type 'fastboot flash system name-of-the-image.img' where name-of-the-image.img is your downloaded GSI.

5. Hit enter and wait for it to finish installing

6. Famous words: "Reboot and pray"


Problems:
1. Since we don't have a treble-compatable TWRP build yet, there is no way to install gapps for now. I will try to find an image that includes them.
2. All the problems present on the actual ROM (check ROM thread)
3. There are likely others. (There always are some)

I'd like it if others tried to flash this and share their experiences here.

Thanks to @phhusson, @vovan1982, @HassanMirza01, Huawei, RR team and everybody else I forgot to mention.

How's the battery life?

How's the battery life?

I'm flashing AOSP right now. It has gapps preloaded so I'll update when I've tested enough.

Thanks,in the mean time I'm looking for a proper cable to root my phone lol

UPDATE:
I flashed AOSP GSI and it boots normally as well. Has gapps and root as well, but you'll need the og supersu (phh's). Chainfire's su doesn't work. Also, you can't give adb root access via dev options so you cant pull boot image to patch it with magisk right away. I'm also unable to get stock camera to work but will experiment with that in the future. Battery life seems a bit better than on nougat roms but then again I'm running pure AOSP with no major battery consumer app on it for now. That's it for now.

@TheParallelOne

Did you try to use stock camera app from there?

Bro do complete research first. we have fully working twrp. use twrp on elemental Rom. and installation procedure is also completely wrong. first flash twrp from fastboot using command fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY V2.img then check the recovery and reboot to boot loader then flash system image then reboot to recovery do formats data then install gapps then again reboot to boot loader then flash stockrecovery from dot os thread which is also treble rom then reboot to stock recovery do factory reset now device will boot fine.

Also there are some bugs like mtp,battery drain,heating issues on normal usage and slow charging in some rims. I have tried 4 roms and decided go back to elemental Rom. but these treble roms much better than nougat custom roms comparing to them these can be used as daily driver. pure Android 8.1 roms with all latest features.

Can you provide screenshots please

 

[Sreekantt]

That's great news. TFS bro.

 

[Ramesh006]

Can you provide screenshots please

mtp working on some roms and battery drain is not that much compared to emui 8 stock now im gonna try more roms.
Treble roms are much faster and more stable you can't find any bugs. even I was surprised honor 6x can run stock android with this much stability.

 

[Ramesh006]

Battery drain comparison
on stock emui 5 5% drain for hour while watching movie in mx player no apps running in background all freezed.
on emui 8/treble roms 7-8% while watching movie on mx player but didn't freezed any apps only apps running telegram and whatsapp.
conclusion if u r in emui8 go for treble roms for complete pixel experience
