So I was an idiot, I've resigned myself to this fact because I've clearly done something wrong.
TWRP installed, rooted and booted.
Then I tried to flash a new ROM from here using TWRP and well... that's where things went tits up. Something in TWRP said in red about not being able to mount something. The loading screen was stuck and then it just bootlooped over and over again. I downloaded a stock ROM, wiped system and tried to flash but now it's stuck on the "your device is shifty" screen and I'm totally out of ideas...
Please refrain from pointing out what a moron I've been.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can save this wretched soul.
do you have access to bootloader with fastboot?
seeing a lot of threads like this around here. Don't want to offend you or anybody else but just that someone has said it: First thing you do after flashing TWRP is a backup :angel:
hope you get your things sorted though. Can your please provide a more detailed list of things you did? How did you try to flash the stock rom you downloaded? dload forced update? flashed in twrp? etc.

Yeah I realised I should have done that the second things started going wrong, I got cocky. And I tried to flash the stock with TWRP; downloaded it to my laptop, put it on the SD card and then in to the phone. Every process that the installation or wipe or any of the other actions performed by TWRP is followed by a line saying "Failed to mount '/ data' (Invalid argument)". I tried to follow the forced update of the stock but I couldn't seem to get that to work either ( this method stechguide.com/marshmallow-stock-rom-for-huawei-p9 ). After all that I can't think if there's anything else.

Ok, so a few things:
-The failed to mount /data message probably means that you have an old version of TWRP, check the thread again and make sure you use at least RC3 (newest one afaik).
-Original stock Huawei roms are not suitable for TWRP, to flash a stock rom you need a stock recovery which you can flash back the same way you flashed twrp (using fastboot, or SRK tools). Once you have stock recovery, you can force the update by putting the update file in a folder on your sdcard (internal or external) called "dload". Then you turn off the phone and start it by holding volume up, volume down and power.
-Alternatively you could use a custom rom, which you can find in the dev thread. Custom roms can and should be flashed in TWRP.

I keep pressing the up/down + power buttons but it keeps going to TWRP, as for the out of date version I have 3.0.0-0 but as lomunet suggested I'm downloading the srk tool. That's what I originally used to install TWRP in the first place. For the stock ROM to boot do I need to do anything to the file when it's downloaded (ie zipped or unzipped)? Nosing around a few other threads I noticed they mention something about making a file in the root of the file, and I hope you'll pardon my ignorance, but I have no idea how to do that. As for the custom ROM, I'll try that again when srk tools has finished downloading and I've reinstalled TWRP.

Ok so, I installed the latest TWRP (3.0.2-eva-modaco-rc3) and that went off without a hitch. Using the SRK tools that lomunet suggested I tried to sideload the stock ROM but the error message of " cannot read 'sideload\ROM.zip' " keeps popping up. I'm downloading a custom ROM (forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-fromfuture-newworld-t3390820) as I type to see if that works flashing it through TWRP.

you really need to flash stock recovery first to flash stock firmware. It won't work as long as you have TWRP installed you can use SRK tools to flash stock recovery.
If you are always stuck, jus download "DC Phoenix"(i don't know if i'm authorized to post the name ?), it's a paid app but it's worked for me. Just boot to fastboot mode, and flash your firmware with the app

Try re download the zip (or try an other rom)maybe you just got an false download. i also had some trouble with my m7 back in the day.
But in your case now you are stuck with no os or bootloop, i give you as advice to follow an soft unbrick method it worked for me, or if you have an usb otg cable and usb or and usb otg thumbstick, put the rom on that usb and connect it to your phone and then try to flash it (if your using twrp you have an option to choose from wich storage you want to use)
Also a piece of advice, when flashing roms, kernels etc please have your phone charged above 50% (just in case).

Can you please post the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
please remove your imei and serial number.
Depending on which variant of the M7 you have you probably just need a different version of recovery to install a CM rom. I think they prefer TWRP 2.7.x.x. Post the getvar and we can see what you have. then I can give you a better informed instruction. :good:
P.s also check the md5 of the rom zip you downloaded. Use this tool www.winmd5.com the correct md5 should be listed with the link you downloaded the rom from
failed to mount /dev/block/blah blah blah = needs "block:by-name" support which twrp 2.6.3.3 doesn't have
everything explained here
So update your recovery
and do what danny said above so he can confirm you have the right rom/recovery for your device.

Your getvar looks fine this rom should work fine with your device. Download this version of TWRP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358561860 (2.7.1.2). dropthe file in your fastboot folder and flash it with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once thats done reflash the rom with the new version of TWRP. It should flash just fine :good:

There are a number of ways to return to stock software. You can simply flash a stock rom through twrp or use a stock nandroid. look for rom that match your version main. 7.19.401.22
I think there is even an lollipop 7.19.401.22 RUU for your device but I'm not sure if it will work with s-on though because it's a zip but it certainly wouldnt hurt to try it though. You will need to relock your bootloader and flash it with fastboot.
I'll edit this post with links when I find them unless some one beats me to it

Sorry I am at work so availability is scetchy. I found the ruu but it's for the older 7.19.401.2 lollipop, this won't work for you because your s-on. Downgrading firmware is only possible with s-off.
You can use this stock rom though http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-100-pure-stock-5-0-2-7-19-401-2-t3044041 just flash it with twrp. The thread recommends TWRP 2.8.5.X no need to relock the bootloader or anything silly, just flash it like any other rom :good:
You'll notice that this rom is also for the older 7.19.401.2 so you will need to install the last OTA update to bring your rom in line with your firmware. Flash this recovery with the same method as twrp. (Stock recovery required for installing the OTA) http://sourceforge.net/projects/htcone/files/Recovery/STOCK/7.19.401.2_recovery.img/download reboot then just go to Settings>About>Check for updates.

Okay try this. Download the OTA but select the option "Install Later" connect your m7 to your pc and browse your storage. In the download folder on your phone you should find the OTA in zip format. Copy it to your pc.
Now open the OTA zip on your pc. Inside you'll find another zip called "firmware.zip" extract it then open it. Inside you'll find a recovery.img. extract the recovery file and flash it with fastboot. Now reboot to android and continue to install the OTA. :fingers-crossed:

Yes you will need to unlock the bootloader to flash the recovery, Dont forget to fastboot erase cache after flashing the recovery that is cruicial. You don't need to be relocked to install the OTA though.
When you select install now, the device should reboot to the Stock Recovery. At first the screen will just be black for a short while. Then you'll see an image of a phone with a Green ring and download arrow. If you hold Volume up and press the power button you will see the Stock Recovery and its progress in installing the OTA.
I'm not sure why your device was hanging on boot after installing the OTA. Maybe a bad recovery.img. that's why I say to get the recovery from the OTA file.
its still not working so i mite just install twrp and restore to cm12.1

Your still stuck with this? Try starting the process over, but do not relock your bootloader at any point.
Wipe system data and cache partitions with TWRP Advanced wipe
Flash the Rom with twrp as a clean install.
Reboot and download the OTA. Choose install later, then copy the OTA to your pc. Extract the Stock Recovery and flash it with fastboot. Reboot and install the OTA.
But do not relock your boot loader. Because when you unlock the bootloader, it wipes the device including the data/preload folder. If the preload folder is not intact the OTA will fail

I want to flash my phone with stock firmware, but I cannot find it anywhere.
I am looking for PRA-LX1C738B123.
I own Huawei p8 lite 2017
I wiped my system because I wanted to install other rom, it didn't work so I want to go back to the original.
Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to do a backup before so I am stuck atm. The bootloader is unlocked and flashing works, I can boot into huawei eRecovery and TWRP. (eRecovery gives the getting package info failed error) I have tried the dload method with other app files, it fails at 5% every time tho.
I tried using Huawei Update Extractor and Firmware Finder but I cannot find the exact firmware.
Could someone help me with installing my firmware? Oh and I am kinda new and it would be nice to get some guides,
Thanks.
I have the same problem but with a different firmware.. now only thing i can do is use dc-phoenix paid software (15$ for 72h of use). I will try that tomorrow as i also can't find exact same firmware it was on my phone.

Hello ! I think I could be of some help since I encountered the exact same problem !
edit: well I just realized I can't find your ROM with firmware finder either, sorry for the failed attempt
In your case I'd try with each firmware until one would work or a I tried them all.
You need some utilities first :
- Firmware Finder
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
It will allow you to find the stock ROM that fits your model
-Huawei UPDATE extractor
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
It will allow you to extract the .img files from the firmware previously downloaded.
-fastboot and adb
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
The programs that will allow you to flash the .img files.
Now:
1. Find your ROM using firmware finder (the model is usually on the box you received the android in).
2.Extract the necessary .img files : system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
3.Reboot into the bootloader, connect your device to your computer, open a cmd exe (powershell in my case) by holding shift+right click on the folder containing the .img files and flash each .img file, e.g. for the system file:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
4.then use "fastboot reboot" and after that shutdown your device
(in my case even after flashing the .img files I was greeted by a blank screen, so I shutdown my device holding the power button).
5. Boot into recovery holding vol up + power buttons (be sure to disconnect your device before shutting down and powering it up again) and choose factory reset.
It should then reboot into ROM installation procedure where you will have to follow the same steps as when you booted your device for the first time.

Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

Yes I had the exact same problem, but once I did what I described, by rebooting into recovery (without twrp), I finally had the option to restore factory settings.
I believe the issue is in the fact you don't have access to the stock ROM for your model.

The programs that will allow you to flash the .img files.
Now:
1. Find your ROM using firmware finder (the model is usually on the box you received the android in).
2.Extract the necessary .img files : system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
3.Reboot into the bootloader, connect your device to your computer, open a cmd exe (powershell in my case) by holding shift+right click on the folder containing the .img files and flash each .img file, e.g. for the system file:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
4.then use "fastboot reboot" and after that shutdown your device
(in my case even after flashing the .img files I was greeted by a blank screen, so I shutdown my device holding the power button).
5. Boot into recovery holding vol up + power buttons (be sure to disconnect your device before shutting down and powering it up again) and choose factory reset.
It should then reboot into ROM installation procedure where you will have to follow the same steps as when you booted your device for the first time.
edit: formatting
Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

Hello did you already test ???
Here is the solution for every PRA-LX1: [http : // www . htcmania . com / showthread . php ? t=1326478] (sorry for the spaces, but I don't have enough posts written to post external links )
Unfortunately, it's from a spanish forum. I didn't found any problem to follow this tutorial, but maybe for someone it could be a little difficult.
Anyway, it works!

Yes, but any PRA-LX1C432 i tried doesn't work for me, flashing by fastboot. I believe any PRA-LX1 should work on this phone, but i will need to use that dc phoenix software to flash it.

Where did you find the C432 firmware? I can't succees to find it
Flashing to a completely empty phone via DC phoenix or manual via fastboot still didnt got my device started. Sometimes I end up in the eRecovery and sometimes its just stuck at boot.
I tried different version from the hicloud but none so far did the trick. Maybe someone can point me into the right direction so i can finally rescue this phone?
EDIT:
PRA-LX1C432
Sorry cant link to these files since i don't got 10 posts. Maybe PM ?
Copied the Mega TWRP backup (B100) to SD card
Flashed TWRP via fastboot
Disconnected the USB cable
Boot into TWRP
Restored TWRP backup
Restarted phone into fastboot
OEM unlocked it
Got booted into TWRP since no stock recovery there
Booted into fastboot again
flashed stock recovery
Android started to work!
Tried to update to B164 and failed
Reboot
Now it offered B110 and I tried to update to B110. Success.

Also i noticed everytime a OTA fails you get the full version offered on next boot. So you should get a full B164 aswell after it failed
JStrel said:
Yes I had the exact same problem, but once I did what I described, by rebooting into recovery (without twrp), I finally had the option to restore factory settings.
I believe the issue is in the fact you don't have access to the stock ROM for your model.

For the second part go to this link for more detail :

[Stock Rom] Huawei (Prague) PRA-xxxC432B182
For restoring/ rescue your device.P8 Lite 2017 - PRA-LX1, LX2, LX3, LA-1
P9 Lite 2017
Nova Lite
Honor 8 Youth
Created and tested on this device:
Huawei P8 lite 2017 [PRAGUE]
Model number: PRA-LX1
Build number: PRA-LX1C432B182
free device
The PRA is extrem sensitiv.
Any unconsidered, unofficial intervention, don't forgive it.
Hundreds of users have already "bricked" their device.
The response to the dealers is enormous.
To restore your devices,
I'll provide a complete rom.
It is 100% functional and rooted with SuperSu.
It is to be applied to the device via TWRP restoring.
But it is also suitable for this purpose without an OTA update,
to get the current firmware.
Be sure to read the following instructions carefully.
You're doing it at your own risk!
Rom installation:
In the download folder:
2017-12-30-PRAstockB182root (zip)
there are 26 backup files compressed as Zip files.
After downloading, unpack all files individually into this directory. Then delete all zip's. Now copy the whole directory to your TWRP backup folder. Where your other backups are.
Now flash the stock recovery and perform a factoryreset.
Now flash TWRP and make a wipe of the data and system partitions in TWRP.
Then restore my backup and reboot.
The firmware and the kernel are already rooted.
If necessary, you can install Busybox.
If the device does not boot, the bootloader must be unlocked again with the Huawei unlockcode.
It is a little bit more work for you to unpack everything individually, but this way a faultless installation is possible.
I have tested the up- and download, unpacking and restoring several times. It works perfectly. The rom is bug free.
Now create a new TWRP backup
and remove all older backups from the TWRP backup folder, otherwise they could cause problems later.
Save it to another folder or to
USB-/Stick, or HD.
I would now like to make a few comments on the end of the year:
I've had the P8 lite 2017 for a year.
The first rooting was developed by me.
The SuperSu and the first rooted kernel,
enabled the developers
@Tecalote and KangVip.
TWRP was provided by the LineageOS team. Again and again I have added fresh rootings and roms.
Nevertheless, increased Bricks are not missing.
It took an enormous amount of time to find
help the users. Unfortunately, this didn't work out for everyone.
My recommendation:
Now set up your device completely. Then create a complete backup with the ingenious Huawei Backup App. Now you take the recovery back.
"fastboot flash recovery recovery. img"
Removes TWRP from your brain for the time being.
Your device is now perfect and the firmware is original. You also have root and the OTA update authorization. When OREO comes, you just wait until I announce the new rooting."
I wish you all the best for 2018.
WARNING !
If all this has worked on my device, it does not mean that it goes with everyone else. Follow exactly the instructions to prevent damage. The execution is your risk.
Never make a factory reset in TWRP. Brick !!! Wipes only in stock recovery.
NOTE: Despite careful preparation I can not guarantee that through the implementation of this Guidance does not create damage to the device or operating system, and therefore assume no liability for ensuing damage and malfunction of hardware and software! If you are still unsure, follow these steps: Only perform the procedure if any mentioned conditions (model number, Android version, etc.) apply to you or your device. Read the instructions carefully and completely, check unfamiliar terminology by google or xda. Downloaded files check for viruses. A backup of important settings and data make. The instructions do not perform, if you do not know what you're doing.
Thank you very much: @Tecalote, KangVip,Chainfire, Stephen (Stericson), Jmz Software, LinageOs team, JRummy, as well as.
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Update 2017-12-31:
I removed the part "dual recovery".
The support on xda is finished.
Only here:
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/huawei-p8-lite-2017.2980/
I couldn't restore my phone. I followed all of your instructions and after restoring, when I reboot, the phone goes only in TWRP (no volume keys pressed). Any ideas on what I can do?
In any case thank you for the thread, it's good to have a well described procedure for these things
Restore your last backup and repeat the procedure.
Try this one first:
Root again with the SU (B182) from the download.
Tip for life: try not to trust random nerds on forums, offering "ROMs" and what they call "tutorials". Stick to the outlet which sold you the phone, and deal with them and/or the manufacturer, and you can't go far wrong.

I had the same situation. It's a bit tricky and you must really know, what you are doing
I rebooted to bootloader an repeated the oem unlock -> this caused a factory reset!!
I am on dual recovery and so I rebooted to twrp, repeated the restore with the b182 stock rom and could reboot to the system

UPDATE: I solved in another way, which is: booted to fastboot mode, restored the stock recoveries (recovery1 to recovery1, erecovery to recovery2), then the phone booted normally as it should have had. At that point I could reflash twrp to recovery1, but that is optional.
I think the phone tried to boot but having the wrong recovery in recovery2 slot caused problems (just a random hypothesis). Hope this helps

Hello!
I want to follow this guide, it should be fine for my Dual SIM Variant, right?
I have a problem with one file, that is 'version.emmc.win.md5.zip' that can't be downloaded from MEGA. Can someone please provide a working link for that file?
Also a doubt: when all the files will be ready my idea is to restore your TWRP backup, flash stock recovery then lock bootloader, to make it as near to stock as possible: will this work? I have another TWRP backup that is running on my phone, but if I lock the bootloader it won't start, if I unlock the bootloader there no problems at all.
Thanks for your interesting topic!

I can now give this stock ROM a try!
EDIT 1: I'm trying to install the ROM but I have a problem with TWRP: I launch the command 'fastboot flash recovery prague311.img' then boot to TWRP, but the touchsceen of the phone is unresponsive and I can't do anything to make it work. Have you got any suggestion?
EDIT 2: I made some mistakes here and there, but the TWRP booted and now I have the phone on your ROM Version! I'm trying to clean everything and do a clean install if I can...
EDIT 3: I've done a full phone clean by using the 'Factory Reset' option in 'Settings'... now the phone boots, but:
1. NFC/GPS are not working, they are blinking
2. FM Radio is not working (it says com.huawei.... and has an Android icon instead of the original icon)

To get the rom completely clean you do the following:
Go to my root thread section: Threadupdate: 2018-01-02 and work through the instructions. Then you have a perfect clean stock rom.

Your support is very helpful, thanks!
I have problems on the steps to reproduce, even after reading your guide :')
This is what I do:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset + Wipe cache with stock recovery
2. Flash TWRP
3. Open TWRP, clean data, system and also cache + dalvik
4. Reboot the phone to a fully working with B182, in English with Dual SIM fully recognised
5. What I have to do from now on to have a fully stock experience (remove custom Kernel, reflash stock recovery and erecover, re-lock bootloader and fully ready to Oreo)?
Can you please guide me?
Thanks and sorry for my problems, but I work with Nexus devices thare a bit more 'elastic' in flashing
The kernel is stock. You just have to flash the eRecovery and recovery. That's all.

Ok, thanks!
This is what I did before, but I can't do a factory reset due to the problems described (Radio FM not working, NFC not working).
I can't also relock the bootloader, because the phone will boot to erecovery (recovery2) and won't let me reach the boot of the ROM. Have you got any suggestion?
If leave it as it is now (unlocked bootloader with stock recovery1 and recovery2) will Oreo arrive without any problems?
Your support is awesome, thanks
If you now take my UPDATE.APP via dload the problems should be gone.

H87220a Flashable ROM for the T-Mobile LG G6
ROM OS Version: 8.x Oreo
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.x
ROM Firmware Required: TWRP v3.2.1-0, 11g ROM
Based On: LG Stock ROM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This ROM based on H87220xxxx.kdz then extracted and repacked with autoprime's zip based on this thread.
Also, thanks for runningnak3d for TWRP install method. This ROM is ARB01 which is safe if you want revert to 11g.
Installation :
Modullar Installation
You should install at least bootloader, modem, and system in order to boot properly.
Install xxxOreo.zip using TWRP don't reboot
Press back button and Install Magisk (It's mandatory if you want root and twrp retained)
DONE and Reboot
[*]In most case, you'll lost your /data due to data encryption. so backup first
[*]This build's ONLY for T-Mobile US LG G6
[*]If you decided to downgrade, make it sure that firmware is ARB01 (11g or later)
Download :
As requested by many people I've uploaded new update within 4 modules (Bootloader, Laf, Modem, and System).
You can download here: H87220g (latest)
LGH87220F
LGH87220D
LGH87220A
Recommended TWRP/Orangefox Recovery
my G6 seems broken, it has no display but it still ringing when I call it. probably LCD issue. Basically, I can't test any future update with this phone. I've planned to buy v30 soon and try to repair my g6 by myself. Any info or some suggestions will be appreciated
Have a nice day,
OK -- So I am going to install that later today...but just to be clear (and hopefully this helps others)...if you have been flashing other ROM, you should have...
1) H870 TWRP in laf, accessible for emergencies via holding up button and plugging phone into computer.
2) H872 Unofficial TWRP in recovery...
So, to flash this, using H872 recovery/TWRP:
1) TWRP backup whatever you want to keep.
2) Wipe all normal stuff
3) Flash this and magisk, assuming you want to root anyway.
4) Using TWRP File manager, delete /system/recovery_rom_boot.p so that if something goes wrong, you don't have to reflash H872 TWRP into recovery using laf.
Boot, and you should have the stock 8.x rooted?
In my case, I also a going to try and install stock GApps to replace LG/TMobile stuff...I'll post about my success on that later...

You'll get download mode back after flashing this zip anyway (stock laf). in case something bad happens, you should not worry much. though, i've never use custom rom in this phone before. so, extra precaution will be good for you.:good:

Which is the correct way to do it in my opinion. Once you TWRP installed in Recovery, having it stay on LAF is dangerous as far I'm concerned. In theory TWRP should be able to keep you from needing to ever restore back to stock, but it has been known to fail sometimes. Leaving with no way of using LG UP or any other flasher outside of sending it into LG (unless firehose files get leaked).

yep, flashing back original laf will save you in the future mistakes.
By "Stock" do you mean LG's bloatware stuffed "stock" or do you mean "Vanilla Android" stock?

BTW -- I did this method, got laf back to what it should be, rooted the H872 Oreo, installed GApps, and have a pretty good setup with Volte/WiFI calling, Goodle Dialer and Messages (with web message support), stock camera, etc -- kinda best of all worlds.
The only issue, as noted in another thread, is that TWRP can no longer mount data -- meaning you gotta jump through some hoops to back it up...so hopefully this get fixed.
For those that are not aware, with TWRP still in recovery, you can boot to this following the factory reset options for the phone, but after answer to confirm "Yes" twice, you will boot into recover TWRP, so you can always get back there without a laptop and / or fastboot. If I recall, the key sequence is hold down button, hold power until logo appears, then turn power on and off until factory reset appears...
But TWRP needs to be fixed to access that data partition -- no idea what that is all about.
So twrp rebooted even though I clicked cancel on reboot, magisk not installed. Is there anyway back? I'm totally fine on stock btw if that's the case.

Try to combination buttons for reset, it'll brings you to TWRP again, and install magisk after that. Hope twrp still remains in recovery partition as sometimes they'll be replaced by bootloader. If it doesn't work, you should be able to use LGUP to flash 11g kdz, and try flashing twrp again.

I believe that's possible, all you need's the right dm-verity disabler that works with this phone. In theory, just format (not wipe) your data partition, flash rom, flash dm-verity disabler, and then reboot. Data partition is encrypted by bootloader, I've checked twrp's fstab and all point to the right direction. But still, we've to try this before knowing what's actually possible or not. For now, I utilize LG Mobile Switch to backup my data and it's totally fine.
UPDATE: It doesn't work, dm-verity patches actually only patch boot.img while this phone has aboot, tz, and a lot elf programer

I doubt it is...because mine didn't and there was no /system/recovery_rom_boot.p to delete.
you can try installing a program like Titanium Backup that has the option to reboot into recovery.
Did you get it to the menu asking to factory reset -- if you got that and answered yes both times and did not get into recovery, then it is gone...

if your phone is from T-Mobile, it's b872bk. please check ota update. if you got oreo update then you're in the right path. but if not, then it's more likely that your phone is the 872tn one.
I'm assuming the 2 letters at the end signify the color of the devices (BK = Black and TN = Titanium/Silver). Even though the devices are the same, perhaps there are minute differences in each build? I flashed the 20a zip that was provided by OP, but it changed my splash screen to say G6 ThinQ? The G6 I have is T-Mobile branded Titanium color, but I definitely had the devices before the ThinQ moniker became a thing. I'm going to download the KDZ branded for my 872TN and see what happens when I flash with LGUP.
The G6 ThinQ splash screen came with the oreo update. I think too that bk=black and tn=titanium no diff at the builds.
Your zip save my phone
Keep it up bro ..
Thanks
So I should be able to flash this through twrp like any other zip?
Y'all were talking about deleting deleting things so I wanted to make sure before I did anything.
I'm in agreement with fixing the laf after getting root, and this way looks like it would simplify matters if you got stuck with an issue and didn't want to or didn't have access to a pc.
Thanks
Hi.
A while ago I installed lineage 14 on my p9 because my son who uses the phone did want to have an experience a little closer to aosp.
Today he wanted to go back to stock emui. I thought I use the dload method. But I couldn't enter the recovery. Every time I ended up back at twrp.
Then I installed magic rainbow 4. The installation went OK but not all apps where available. Camera etc not installed.
Again I tried to use de dload method but still the same issue.
The I tried to reinstall lineage 14. Because in magic rainbow I couldn't enter the the developers option to activate oem unlock or USB debugging.
I thought that the problem for dload was an frp lock. In bootloader there is everything unlocked. But I wanted to check it.
After reinstall of lineage I wanted to reboot but I always ended up in TWRP....
I seems that there wasn't a system installed?
Then I found a tutorial that said to wipe all partitions and manually flash boot.img and system.img
But the flashing failed of both img.
So now I have a phone with all wiped....
Anyone an idea about this?

A while ago I installed lineage 14 on my p9 because my son who uses the phone did want to have an experience a little closer to aosp.
Today he wanted to go back to stock emui. I thought I use the dload method. But I couldn't enter the recovery. Every time I ended up back at twrp.
Then I installed magic rainbow 4. The installation went OK but not all apps where available. Camera etc not installed.
Again I tried to use de dload method but still the same issue.
The I tried to reinstall lineage 14. Because in magic rainbow I couldn't enter the the developers option to activate oem unlock or USB debugging.
I thought that the problem for dload was an frp lock. In bootloader there is everything unlocked. But I wanted to check it.
After reinstall of lineage I wanted to reboot but I always ended up in TWRP....
I seems that there wasn't a system installed?
Then I found a tutorial that said to wipe all partitions and manually flash boot.img and system.img
But the flashing failed of both img.
So now I have a phone with all wiped....
Anyone an idea about this?

If you were installing MR v4, didn't you read also the OP post #3 about HWOTA method for going back to stock from custom Nougat ROMs

You had to use the proper TWRP (from MR v4 thread) and flash by HWOTA the same stock you were before going to custom.
You can try HWOTA7

or even HuRUpdater

And tried this also. Software installation failed.
I tried to install magic rainbow 4 again and it worked!
First I flashed TWRP from the MR4 topic.
But...
still various apps are missing. When I want to enter developer settings I automatically go back to home screen.
What can I do from there.
@Tecalote I'm gonna quote you here. Maybe you have an idea?
FYI
I managed to solve the problem!
Started over again.
In TWRP full wiped.
Tried HuRUpdater again. Flashed successfully the latest stock EMUi (C432-B505).
Factory reset in stock recovery.
Complete setup.
Rooted with latest Magisk (patched boot.img)
