Android 7.0 with EMUI 5 ? with glass back like honor 8

Wow. That's amazing. Why this?

I dont know to be honest, but it will cost around 250€ in Europe. If I am right it has same motherboard as P8 lite 2015. Lets hope 7.0 will come to us soon

It has 655 so android 7 cannot be ported from it to us 650 chipset

I think this is the end of Android 7 dream for our P8 lite, and after release, probably end of all updates for old P8 lite version.

So what Huawei are basically saying is , if you want Android 7 you"ll have to buy a NEW phone. Hope our device gets LineageOS soon.

If p8 won't get it because the processor won't support it, why do you keep feeding the idea that we'll get Nougat someday? Only through Custom Roms, won't ever happen officially.

I don't think our phone could handle Nougat well... Plus it usesa different board; ours has Kirin 620 and this new one have Kirin 655

Our phone of course can handle Nougat very well.........Samsung galaxy S3 can run it smooth and our phone is superior to it ....

is funny that my moto G 4g from 2013 has custom roms with android 7.1.1 and it is smooth as ****, a lot faster than my Honor 4X (Kirin 620) with emui 4.0 lol, the only thing that my Huawei is better is on games, the rest the moto g is a lot better
anyways i'm not blaming the devs, i blame huawei for sharing a ****ty source code so, to build custom roms it is hard as hell

I think it was pretty obvious that we will not get EMUI 5 (or android 7.0 generally) officially. It really seems like huawei goes out plain and says : "You want Nougat? Buy yourselves an improved version of the phone and expect no further updates whatsoever". Also, the P8 Lite can handle Nougat like many other less powerful phones out there like the Moto G. We are counting on devs for 7.0 rom (like LineageOS) but with the source code that Huawei has provided is seems really hard.

I have also read some sources claiming that. I cannot find a link right now as there has been more than a month since i've read that. The sources claimed that the P8 Lite along with the P8 will get EMUI 4.1 with some ported-back features from EMUI 5. There is already EMUI 4.1 from vodafone so , if this is true, i am curious to see what are the ported-back features. I am starting to doubt this after seeing the release of the P8 Lite (2017) though....

Emui 4.1 will be the last EMUI Big Update for us. Huawei says "You wanna have EMUI 5? get the P8 Lite 2017"

Hello,
does anyone have any information on the P8 lite 2017 regarding root?
Will there be a seperate subforum here XDA?
Thanks

Sorry, you have the wrong device. We are using the Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (Kirin 655). The device you are mistaking it for is the Huawei P8 Lite (2015 version, Kirin 620)

Huawei P8 Lite 2017 LineageOS Discussion.

Any news or developments to make an Official LineageOS for Huawei P8 Lite 2017? It would be awesome if this happened. There is already an Official Resurrection Remix OS for the Huawei P8 Lite 2017. And what should one do to make it official?

There's an official RROS for Prague? Where?
Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop. Is it Pie?

Theres a group called OpenKirin that makes Custom ROMS for Huawei devices. They support a bunch of Huawei devices, you can check out on there website if your device is supported. They also have a telegram group. Huawei P8 Lite 2017 models PRA-LA1, PRA-LX1, PRA-LX3 is supported. They currently only make LineageOS, RR and Omni ROMS. RR is the only official rom. All of them is based on Android 8.0
They currently made Omni Pie based rom. It's in Alpha stage 2. You can flash it but there is some bugs.

Oh, I didn't know that OpenKirin's RROS is official. I flashed one of their ROMs once, it ran really well. It's a shame they don't release their ROMs without GAPPS.

At least its gapps pico.

[SOLVED] Looking for ROM for Che2-L11

Hi
There's been MANY variants of the Honor 4X and I guess this got me (and maybe others) confused.
I have the Che2-L11 which is "Cherry" and not "Cherryplus". I don't even know what these code-names mean but I guess they reflect some hardware differences.
Anyways, I'm looking for a custom rom for my device (it's now unlocked and twrp is replacing the stock recovery). However, everything I find online is either unavailable (broken links) or incompatible (stated to be compatible with Che2-L11 but actually requires Cherryplus when flashed in twrp).
I can find images for the stock ROMs alright but none of them supports Adoptable Storage (which I need) although the latest ones are Android 6.0.
Could anyone help me here?
Thank you very much

Che10 is Snapdragon 410. Won't work.
Che2-L11 is Kirin 620
(Cherryplus-L11 is also Kirin 620 AFAIU, but there must be another hardware difference preventing flashing these ROMs onto Cherry devices like Che2-L11)

I think different codename itself will prevent flashing of the rom, without major hardware difference.
Try extract the system.img from the cherry plus l11 rom, move to c drive not under any folder, then execute fastboot command
fastboot flash system C:\system.img
If success then
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
If the file is system.new.dat or system.bew.dat.br, please tell me

Actually the misunderstanding was on my side!!!
@Bob1900 helped me out realizing the following:
- Che1-XX based on snapdragon 410 are "cherry" devices
- Che2-XX based on Kirin 620 (my device) are "cherryplus" devices
- I flashed a version of twrp that is designed for cherry devices and thus it won't let me flash the custom roms deigned for cherryplus devices while these are the ones I actually need.
Bob1900 pointed to this post which contain a link (not broken, yeah!) to a version of twrp designed for cherryplus devices.
Now I flashed this version of twrp and then flashed a custom rom designed for cherryplus devices (RRos from this post). It's all good now.
I installed RR and from there I could even DL updates for the ROM and for TWRP (now v. 3.2.2 from Ksrt12).
I enabled Adoptable Storage and now I'm testing...

glad you got it working

Good The forum still has enough working DL links to install ROMs on this device, but we sorely need someone to update the code.

I wish @ksrt12 would update the DL link to Slim7 for instance. And also post a ling to that custom twrp v3.2.2 for Cherryplus devices

Not exactly what you asked for, but I am posting a few other versions of TWRP for cherryplus, in case these are useful.

The link to twrp in the OP is broken.
@krst12 indicates that we can use twrp for Cherry devices and indeed version 3.1.1-0 of twrp would install on Che2-L11 (Cherryplus) and allow to boot into recovery but then it wouldn't let me flash Cherryplus roms (arguing the device is Cherry). Later version of twrp for Cherry would install to the Che2-L11 (Cherryplus) but booting into recovey results ina screen stuck at the Honor logo (while ADB reports the phone is booted into recovery).

so some versions of twrp for a snapdragon variant actually somehow boot on a kirin bariant?
