I'm using this rom since 3 weeks ago and is so smooth and daily driver.

PD: Would be nice if you reference the original post of @Askuccio_DROID on P8 Lite forum:

[ROM] [PIE 9.0.0_r10] [OFFICIAL] PixysOS for Huawei Hi6250

Thanks for sharing here

After installing the ROM, you can easily get into bootloader by selecting bootloader during the reboot option in twrp. It's a bit easier than trying to get the buttons & timing right to get into bootloader to flash the stock recovery.

Hi sir thank you for this guide always wanted to flash this pixy os but no detailed instructions for pur device..
Im just a newbie here..
Can you help me find the link for the recovery for my device.
im on BLL-L22?

anyone pls help me

 

[DarthVader]

BLL-L22 ? You mean stock recovery? Are you on stock EMUI 8? India? If you have update.app u can easily extract it. But if you can't then I will do it for you once the download finishes.

I always find buttons easy. But yeah you can do that as well. I guess whatever suits you.

No idea how to do that but thanks for doing that. I can't even spell the name right LOL :silly:

Oh man....I think I need to rebrand first for this then get the emui 8 im still running on emui 5...im from the Philippines..
so the stock recovery should be on the updater.app the ill just extract that file then I need to look for "recovery.img"?
is that how its done?

 

[DarthVader]

Well first you need to update to EMUI 8. You will probably have to download Indian or China version of EMUI 8 from Firmware Finder. I suggest China. Once downloaded just rebrand/update. Now in the update.zip you will find an update.app it is around 2-3 GB. Download Huawei Firmware Extractor and then extract Recovery_ramdis.img That's it. Now flash it normally.

Reading your post I conclude you are on EMUI 5 correct? What is your model number? It might help with the rebranding.

Sure. Just follow this guide and you will be up and running in no time.

Also recovery is flashed through fastboot using either powershell or command prompt through your PC

Go-to the above link and download HWOTA and the three update files. Extract HWOTA to the C Drive of your PC. Rename them as suggested in thread. Now transfer the files to Download folder inside HWOTA 7 folder. Now boot your phone into Bootloader and connect to the PC. Now run update.bat it will flash TWRP recovery. Once it says waiting for device to boot into TWRP, disconnect the device and hold Power & Volume Up to boot into TWRP. Once in there reconnect to Computer and press enter twice.

Now select:

Update from-> using script-> change location-> BLN-AL20. It will flash OEM-Info and then ask for your bootloader unlock code and continue. Now wait patiently for it to finish. Once flashing is complete select to keep Bootloader unlocked.

Upon first boot you won't have network signal. Solution is in the linked thread but Don't ignore it and fix signal first then after that flash Pixys OS by following OP.

Now to extract Stock Recovery follow these:

Extract the main update.zip
Download Huawei Update Extractor from XDA. Search for it.
Launch Huawei Update Extractor and go to Settings and disable first option. Now press three dots to browse and navigate to extracted folder and select Update.app
Double click on Recovery_Ramdis.img and extract it to desktop. You will get animage file and another one. Delete the other one. Now flash image file as you would flash TWRP. If you need more help, Just ask.

One question, can I transition from Resurrection Remix Oreo? Or do I have to flash EMUI 8 again?

 

[Sephiroth79]

Hello,

I am using an Honor 6X model number BLN-L21 running Emui 5.0.1.

Phone has unlocked bootloader and is rooted.

Since is unlocked OTA updates are no longer working so I am stuck on 5.0.1.

If I understood correctly I have first to upgrade to Emui 8.0 stock fw and then pass to this custom rom.

Could you please write me a small recap/tutorial I can follow to jump my phone in Emui 8?

Thanks,

Andrea.

Yes you can but to be on the safe side I would advise to restore EMUI 8 first. Though you can go directly if you wish.
