Hi. Recently, I was playing with my old Huawei P10 Lite. I was thinking how to run Android 12 on P10 Lite. The problem was that you had to use the arm64_a complication, and for Android 12 it was released in the AB version. I used an old trick that involved TWRP install emui 9 from Huawei P SMART 2018 to P10 Lite. I know there was a topic about how to install it, but I can't share link to it because I can't find it :(

Installation Guide

1. Install TWRP on our P10 LITE https://mega.nz/file/LLhBXSzY#3runNNoW9z1tOHSu-heIUhyy-4u8XHvc8rZMsn547so (It's not my TWRP)

2. Load it with the command fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP.img

3.We download the latest version of Emui 9 from here https://androidhost.ru/Xba

4. After downloading, extract it and look for the Update.zip file

5. I recommend that you make OEMINFO copies of our phone model because after flashing, instead of the Huawei logo, there will be only dashes.

6. Copy it to our smartphone, install the Update.zip file

7. After installation, we will restart our smartphone with Android 9 (Then the file system changes from ARM64-A to AB version :))

8. Go to Developer Options and turn on USB debugging and remove the OEM lock and restart it to Fastboot (In some cases, Bootlaoder may be blocked, so you will have to unlock it)

9. Go to https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases and look for ARM64-AB-vndklite and download it

10. After download unpack it. There should be a file with an IMG extension

11. Go to Adb (If someone does not have it, he can download https://www.instalki.pl/programy/download/Windows/zarzadzanie_telefonem/ADB_Installer.html)
After entering, connect our smartphone to the PC and enter Fastboot devices. We make sure that the smartphone has been detected.

12. Type Fastboot flash system (File Location System.img) and hit Enter

13. After flashing, enter Fastboot Erase Userdata and Fastboot reboot

14. Now the smartphone may be stopping. It will stand for a while without reacting, but after a while the system logo will appear

15. For those who did P10 lite not turn on, restart the smartphone with the VOlume + and POwer keys and enter recovery. The problem is that the smartphone, after entering recovery, shows the word Format LOW and it should be Format DATA. In this case, we repeat procedure 13.

16. If it says Format DATA, click on it and reset it. An error may appear, but we do not care. Click restart

17. Now the system can boot up for 30 minutes. System start and show the error occurred Interface stop working (After restart phone It never shows up after that)

18. We now have Android 12 on our P10 lite

19. A lot of things don't work like Sound, Mic. The screen, the touch works, the GPS too, The problem is cant connect to the GSM network

20. This is an Experiment, I am not responsible for any damage to the phone but it can be repaired by Method test point

21. If someone has come to the end and it works, congratulations :) (I was combining 7h how to run it 12)

Hi

With a friend we managed to make everything work except the modem because the firmware is different. Have you test the MakeMeSar program ?

Hey, got to step 8 easily, obviously step 9 - 11 is easy, however, because my bootloader locked, I cannot flash the system, does anyone know how to unlock the bootloader (tried dc-unlocker, and phoenix), says it does not support my phone).

Any advice?

Oh, ane ist P20 lite.
Do you mean this one ;)
Your thread

Normally a custom rom only works with the phone it is made for. Or are the P20 lite and the P10 lite so similar?
And do I have to use the twrp for the P10 lite or the P20 lite, or does it not matter?

Ist this the right Rom for me: LeaOS-20.0-20240407-iceows-google-ane.img.xz
I have a P10 lite Emui 8.0.0 with unlocked bootloader. Kernel 4.4.23+

1. Can I just flash the system image ( fastboot flash system <drag system.img here>) or do I have to do something else first? Install a firmware, kernel or something?

2. You wrote: Flash twrp image: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk <drag twrp img here>
Wich twrp img should i use?

Hello AltairFR. Thank you for replying, that's very kind of you. But could you write to me in more detail? I am quite a beginner in this field and don't know what to do.

1. How do I get emui9 so that I can flash the mentioned ROM?

2. Which TWRP do I have to use then? Do I have to run the command ( fastboot flash system <drag system.img here>) or can I also flash with TWRP?

Many thanks
