Introduction
This is aimed to be a complete but simple guide for users which want to know what works in the Treble-World on the Mate 10 Pro and 'how to get there', based on other guides and my own findings
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for what you do with your device, you are free, probably old enough to know what you are doing and intelligent enough to read this through.
For the moment I will only speak about my own tests on a BLA L29 as I don't have the possibility to test everything.
Feel free to share your own discoveries via PM (just reuse the same formatting to make things easy)
Requirement
1. PC/Laptop running Windows 10 with adb and fastboot drivers installed
2. Original Huawei USB Type-C Cable
3. Being able to read and use search when a question arises
Summary
0. General Information
I. Unlock the Bootloader
II. Choose your ROM (a.k.a "What works on what")
III. Install your ROM
IV. Miscellaneous / Secondary stuff
V. Bonus : What to do if I am stuck / Bootlooping
0. General Information
To make things easier for everybody, here are some basic informations about your device and some common knowledge :
How do I get in Download / Bootloader / Fastboot Mode ?
Shut down your device, insert your USB cable. Keep the Volume DOWN button pressed and press the Power button, wait.
PRO TIPP : You may also get there from within android, first enable ADB debugging in developer options, then, on your PC open a command prompt and type "adb reboot-bootloader"
How do I get in Recovery Mode ?
While in Download / Bootloader / Fastboot Mode, take the USB cable out, keep the Volume UP button pressed and press the Power button until the phone reboots.
I. Unlock the Bootloader
We allready have a thread by @otonieru perfectly discussing this point, don't forget the Windows 10 fix :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/how-to-huawei-mate-10-pro-standard-t3709535
II. Choose your ROM (a.k.a "What works on what")
This section isn't complete and should be detailed with time. None of these ROMs is specific for the Mate 10 Pro, but thanks to Treble, most images will work. Device-specific modifications are still needed in future, ask your local dev
1. Generic AOSP (Android 8.0 and 8.1) by Phhusson
Link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659
Description : Really basic ROM (basically pure AOSP) which serves as a basis for most of the other ROMs.
What's working : Everything basic
What's not working : VoLTE, SuperSU and Magisk, Signal strength is reported incorrectly, error message at each start, Play Store tends to hang (solution : wipe the Play Store from recents or force close it)
Actual status : Barebones, can be customized in some ways with overlays.
2. LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1) by LuK1337
Link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3753000
Description : If you don't know LineageOS, you should have heard about CyanogenMod (CM). This is a super clean, customizable version of Android, based on AOSP
What's working : Everything basic
What's not working : VoLTE, SuperSU and Magisk (system crashes), Signal strength is reported incorrectly,
root works thanks to addon-su (see Miscellaneous)
Actual status : Working as a daily driver (at least in my case) if you can live with some very small drawbacks.
III. Install your ROM
Once you have unlocked your Bootloader and chosen the ROM your heart desires follow these steps :
1. BACK UP YOUR DATA ! -> You will certainly have to do a factory reset and backing up data should be something natural when flashing something on your phone, even before updates.
2. Download the ROM (latest is probably best, but it's best to read what is said in the respective threads before jumping in the hole.
3. Reboot to the Download / Bootloader / Fastboot Mode (see above)
4. Flash the ROM by opening a command prompt and typing :
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
where "system.img" is the filename of the ROM you downloaded
5. Reboot the phone by typing :
Code:
fastboot reboot
6. The phone will probably get in a bootloop. Don't panic. This should be normal.
After 4-5 reboot the phone will go in Recovery mode. Make a Factory Reset
7. Reboot
8. Profit
IV. Miscellaneous / Device-Specific stuff
This is probably the more interesting part as it is quite hard to find the correct information for our device concerning these points.
Root
ROMs as Lineage don't come prerooted. To root your phone the only viable solution seems to be addon-su for the moment.
To install you will need to install TWRP (follow the instructions in this link by @Dees_Troy : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-touch-recovery-t3752399 ), boot to TWRP (same as booting to Recovery, as TWRP is the new Recovery). go to advanced -> adb sideload. Connect your phone to your PC and flash the file using
Code:
adb sideload addonsu-15.1-arm64.zip
finally reboot, go to 'developer options' and chose the desired option under 'root options'. Done.
Camera
When flashing a ROM it will probably come with the stock AOSP or Lineage camera which, just say it, sucks on our device form a quality point of view. Here are the answers found to this problem for the moment. Sadly, there isn't one solution which works for everything and everyone.
Google Camera - GCam
Photos work - Gallery works - Videos don't work
Right now his is probably the best compromise if you want something that works, easy to install, while not wanting every little gimmick (in that case you should probably stay on EMUI - The definition of gimmick). Simply install the apk.
Note : there are probably other versions of GCam that work or will work in future, feel free to inform me / us about better working versions.

More information / discussion :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/gcam-mod-mate-10-t3729078
Camera Port from the Mate 9 - needs root
Photos work - Videos don't work - Gallery doesn't work - Most filters and gimmicks work
A bit more complicated to install. The easiest way found for now is to root first using addon-su and then copy the system folder inside this zip into the respective folders using a root enables explorer like solid explorer

More information / discussion : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...huawei-stock-camera-app-treble-roms-t3735169/
V. Bonus : What to do if I am stuck / Bootlooping
Remember when I said to back up ? Well I hope you did, because if you are really bootlooped and a reflash of the system image hasn't helped. you will have to reflash the whole device, which isn't quick.
Gladly @mankindtv has got you covered with his great guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814
I hope I could help a bit. Feel free to add your own findings, simply PM me.

You can also root Lineageos with magisk. I did it and it works.

Android Auto doesn't work also on these ROMs. Phone says its incompatible because of some OMX codec issues

That's too bad, android auto uses h264 streaming codec I think. I think this issue will have something to do with hardware acceleration. Have you tried messing around with the acceleration option found in the developer options to see if it might work?
Nice guide! Thank you @ChriKn!
Can you add to the "Generic AOSP (Android 8.0 and 8.1) by Phhusson"'s part that we need to use A-ONLY version of this rom?
I will try as soon as I have my PC.
Sad news, I got a good opportunity on a Pixel 2 XL and sold my Mate 10 Pro (I need my Pure Android AND Quality Camera)
Does someone want to take the thread over ?

Sure i can write some impressions. I just installed Carbon ROM.
I did flash but is not booting at all.
Hello, I did everything as mentioned. And phone is not booting it just bootloops.
i can't do a reset is sends me directly back to recovery and just ask to reboot or shutdown phone...
What do I have to do ?
Can i go to stock rom again ?
Thanks

Hello!
Been considering the acquisition of this smartphone, not really sure yet but at least likely.
Right now still using a Moto G Falcon XT1032, with rooted optimized stock Android 5.1 and TWRP recovery.
I prefer ROMs with no bloatware and lightweight, though given the amount of storage on this terminal (128GB)…
Gapps aren't required, and maybe would prefer without them since I barely use Google apps. I use stuff like UI Tuner (previously Window Manipulator) for customizing video mode, and Battery Charge Limit.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers :laugh:
Well since our great devs have introduced treble support to our phone you can choose any treble supporting rom there is (at least in theory).
Roms available for Z2 Pro are equally good, depends on your preference what additional functions do you like.
For instance AEX I am using is without GApps and root with minimal bloat. Not sure about others.
Mmm…
Thought I'd get email notification to this thread but…
I'm not too keen on necessarily going Oreo and definitively don't know how to properly set it up yet (Treble? How about Bass LoL?), if you could briefly summarize how to install it you have my thanks in advance.
I am to root my device and as far as my experience setting up Lollipop systems:
Get OEM bootloader unlock code.
Install device drivers.
Connect smartphone to computer via USB cable.
Execute terminal commands adb reboot bootloader and then fastboot oem unlock #code, for bootloader unlocking and device factory reset.
Once developer options bla bla bla again then terminal commands to flash TWRP.
Copy SuperSu.zip, target ROM and selected Gapps package to device storage, and at last flash all of it via recovery.
This should be enough to install something like [ROM] [7.1.2] [OFFICIAL][VoLTE] AEX 4.6, doesn't it?
Is [ROM][8.1.0][STABLE][OFFICIAL][TREBLE] AospExtended ROM V5.4 [Z2 PRO] the ROM you're using? I do not know if going this way is worth the pain in my case since I'm still on Lollipop and quite happy. As I requested above, what is the additional mess if choosing this path?
To me an unbloated, fully functional, fast and stable ROM is preferred. If there's some unimportant and/or fixable hiccup I can mess with it I believe.
Thanks and regards,
Salvador

Have you figured the problem out yet? Is there any other known custom ROMs working on Pomelo? Also how did you do it? I don't see Montana in Downloads section for the ROM.

No, i didnt get the chance to figure it out as i broke my moto screen completely. There are no custom roms for the xt-1799-2, wish i had shared it. But if you are interested you can easily port the roms for any moto g5s over to your xt-1799-2

Yeah, I am very interested. I tried RR, LineageOS, Viper for other montanas, all crashed after boot back into bootloader. Also I'd be interested getting Oreo based ROMs. So far I m stuck with chinese ZUI 3.1 which prevents me from flashing or installing Gapps.

You can unclock (XT1799-2 may be 'secretly' unlocked already), root your device, flash custom TWRP (escpecially for Moto G5S XT1792/1794 and Green Pomelo XT1799-2) - and then you'll be able to install Open GApps via TWRP/root.
Also you can simply open special Lenovo App Store on your ZUI-based phone (look for it carefully!), install Google Store's apk from out there - and be enjoying with any GApps and other official apk's.

If you will flash bootloader version 07 (not 06 as you have on any available ZUI stock ROMs), you'll be able to flash distinct Oreo firmware (XT1792 for Brasil/India/EU) in straight way (thread 1; thread 2). BUT YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE NFC and SELFIE-CAMERA in cause of special drivers lack!!! And you will have no way for downgrading of firmware in cause higher version bootloader.
* also you would prefer to flash Moto G5s' stock Android 7.1.1 firmaware (XT1794) on your Green Pomelo (XT1799-2), using this manual.

Thanks a lot! I was unable to Flash Gapps 7.1 in TWRP due to incorrect architecture error. I see that Oreo original ROM will probably never arrive to this phone, so I'll stick to 7.1. What buzzes me the most is that there is no custom rom compatible with XT1799 without losing some of its extra functions. I wonder how hard it will be to port Lineage, RR or similar to enjoy. I've been always using custom roms and now I feel kinda left out

careful with flashing other moto g5s model roms on the xt-1799-2, its different and so you might get a brick. The best you can do is port like i said. You can unlock bootloader by "fastboot oem flashing" if that doesnt work for you try "fastboot oem unlock". I will be back on the pomelo xt-1799-2 soon as i am planning to order another one. Infact you guys will need a section dedicated to the xt-1799-2

I agree, a since it is a slightly different phone a independent section can be great. Now, I am not a developer, so things like porting ROMs is not in my skillset, but I understand that selfie cam and nfc will not work on any custom ROM even if ported simply due to driver issue. I have rooted my phone previously, so I was past unlocking. Problem was that I soft bricked moment I pressed 'factory reset' - the phone would just endlessly keep booting into recovery mode, which was strange as it had stock ROM updated by reseller into a global version. Then I tried to flash various custom ROMs without any luck. Pretty much tried any Montana ROM I could find, but as I said, I don't know how to port so I got stuck in recovery loop. Then I found out about Oreo project and tried to fastboot flash that. That was a major mistake. It upgraded bootloader to 7 without me realising this. I found out nfc and selfie camera not working, so I wanted to downgrade to stock chinese firmware and just install gapps manually. After I fastboot flashed the nougat firmware - my phone hard bricked and won't even respond it seems dead. Thus your link will not help. Anyway I am already on a mission to try to revive it using following method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75932514&postcount=1
Thank you anyway and if by chance you stumble upon some cool compatible ROM or to be honest a ROM that works really good - I don't really need NFC, but fingerprint scanner, turbo charger, selfie camera and reasonable battery management (some ROMs apparently drain it too quickly) would surely be features to keep. Also, if you have at hand a guide on how to port these roms which I can learn, I'd be very grateful.
Thank you

At the moment you could use TWRP menu* 'Reboot - Bootloader' to boot in Fastboot Flash Mode (yes, it's bootloader) - and then press Power button (with 'START' tag in front of it).
But you have preferred to experiment ... You lost bootloader in due of custom 'chinese suppliers' firmware (non-original ROM) and forbidden factory reset with it.
* if you had stock recovery, you need to change mode with Volume buttons to Fastboot Flash Mode - and do the next steps in the same way; also you would be able directly to boot in Fastboot mode (bootloader) using long press Power button + Volume Down button

Yes, it may be will help you to boot in Fastboot menu. Please, read all method instructions carefully (RTFM!!!), don't experiment on your own risk/luck.
On Russian forum we have some examples of 'reviving' XT1799-2 with XT1794 mmcblk0.img - but it's the question of bootloader version and disk partition. May be now you have either bootloader version 06 and partition again or corrupted/mixed software or something else, so may be you'll be need to use distinct XT1799-2 mmcblk0.img. I have it ('Repair' folder), but there aren't any proved mentions of it's compatibility / applicability / integrality - all our XT1799-2 'bricks' were re-covered with XT1794 mmcblk0.img finally.
If you know Russian language or wanna risk to translate with Google Tranlsate (omg, please, don't do that ) - you may use Russian 4pda forum because at this very moment it has the most full load of info about XT1799-2 flashing and repairing (yes, all Slavs are misers and adventurers) not in Chinese language.

Well as irony had it, I did the operation literally seconds before I have read your warning. I was desperate of being stuck in either chinese rom or recovery loop. Anyway, I am amidst of transferring mmcblk0.img for XT1795 to my SD drive via Rufus. Problem is that it won't let me to choose GPT only MBR, so I hope that can still work. Another problem is that I don't how to check the actual bootloader version I am having there installed right now should I manage to get there.

The version of installed bootloader you can check in Fastboot Flash Mode (bootloader as actually, Power + Volume Down buttons pressing and so on).
The version of non-installed firmware you can find into special '.info' file, for example: file 'MONTANA_RETCN_NZS26.68-108_cid11_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC_montana_retcn.info' inside ZUI-based MONTANA_RETCN_NZS26.68-108 ROM has this line:
Code:
MBM Version: BC.06

Because there were Android 7.1.1 images of mmcblk0 with corresponding partition and bootloader version (BC.07; and you may be need BC.08-BC.12 at this moment :shrugging: ).
Have you tried XT1799-2 mmcblk0.img (7.1.1)?
Have you ever found XT1794 Android 8.1.0-based mmcblk0.img ?

The results so far are underwhelming. I did the operation in Linux following https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75932514&postcount=1 . Dowloaded both .img XT1794 and 95, checked the MD5 and flashed them on my sd card. Neither of them worked. Light was flashing at various intervals, but even after two minutes of holding the power button screen remained pitch black. I downloaded your image file for 1799-2, but ended with the very same result. I have not found XT1794 Android 8.1.0-based mmcblk0.img, yet. Would you know anything about it?
1799-2
Hello. I installed OREO 8.1 on MOTO 1799-22. The front camera and NSF do not work. No one will tell you the solution? Thank you friends.

But did you recover it from hard brick by using mmcblk0.img based on Oreo?
Have you done with your RR port for xt1799 yet?
I have purchased the xt1799 Green Pomelo,unlocked bootloader,and installed the twrp. I tried to flash many 7.1 Roms that were intended for g5s and always failed. please notify me if you are still working on the port.

Thank you for the separate this from the other pie roms.
I will flash it after I arrive home.
Thank you all for the hard work!
Sent from my kagura using XDA Labs
I'm loving the fact Omnipie is official. I will be flashing this right now. Thank you so much.
Finally flashed! been using it for less than an hour, i can say that its definitely good for daily use. Camera seems better and hasnt crashed yet (like it use to), mic actually picks up audio properly, brightness slider is finally proportional to the brightness level, and its pie
however, the stereo speaker seems to muffle at high volumes (especially with the ringtones and less with youtube, but still a little prevelent), app opening times seem a little longer than 8.1, and 120HZ still doesnt work
im also curious why the linked odm isnt the latest one (im pretty sure the latest is 1st march not feb)
anyways, thanks dev! (may be editing this thread after more use for battery etc)

Could it be this kernel bug: https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker/issues/336 ? Looks like the sonyxperiadev team is working on it.

The March 1 release says "Android 8.1", the linked one looks like the latest for Pie.

Ah, your correct it does say 8.1 my bad
opps
I saw this version from delta updater (using 8.1 omni) and immediately downloaded flashed oem for pie and downloaded omni 9 but it stucked new omni animated logo. Waited like 10 minutes but nothing happened then rebooted phone but same thing happened. Should i wait more or something went wrong?
Im here with OmniROM freshly flashed trough Open Delta.
I have some problems. First boot never ends, BUT restart worked for me but I have another problem.
Now I need 10 min to unlock the phone when Im lucky.
I unlock with the code and then its instantly relock and it say I cant use fingerprint for first unlock, so I use code again and not work again and still can't use fingerprint.
I do this A LOT OF TIME before I can use my phone. Sometimes it helps sometimes not if I not unlock my phone but use corner dial icon first and then if its ask for code i use it and then I got SystemUI crash error again and again and again.
As I said I try to repeat this methods for like 10 min after every restart. I tried to delete some maybe not compatible apps with this new update but still nothing. Now I will remove some Magisk modules. I will write again.

you need to do a full wipe before upgrading to p
Just as @oshmoun said; before flashing new ROMs, it's imperative to do full wipe (if you don't want to lose all your data, then do a full backup in TWRP), as flashing without full wiping can cause TONS of problems. Don't be lazy and follow the instructions properly.

I used the same rom before but the last update. I updated through OpenDelta.
Hello !
It's cool to see our XZ is alive !
I have some problems with this rom after a full wipe and update to oem V6 :
- no sounds during calls, no mic, no earphone, no sounds on speaker
- Magisk 18.1 not working
- With official camera app, while using the flash, only the autofocus led is lit, the second and much powerful led is never triggered resulting on dark shots
For now that's all
Thx
Performance is somewhat distressed and the camera does not work for the sound is not working after restarting the device is improving

you cant do that. its pretty misleading having it available on that opendelta ota thingy. you have to follow the instructions in this thread
Flashed data, cache and dalvik, factory reset. And installed latest nightly with gapps and magisk 18.1.
Only reason I did it this way is because I was on a unofficial build on Omni. Everything is working as it should. Very snappy and no lag. Still have to see how the ROM handles after it's settled for a couple day, but right off the bat it's amazing. Thank you very much Dev, and happy to see you back on XDA.

Why this ROM showed up as an update then?
I just don't understand it.
Nevermind this is my main and only phone and I work 4 days straight before I can use my PC so I need to use this ROM buggy for me. :/

You need a PC to flash this. Follow all steps in order and it'll work. Always remember, unless you have a messaging app that backups texts, you will lose them flashing a cfw. Always always backup anything you don't want to lose.
---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------
I've had a reoccurring issue on the unofficial and official builds so far. I do not have the option to use my phone when calling unless speaker phone or a Bluetooth headset. I cannot put the phone to my head and use normally. Is there any kind of option to fix this nuisance. Any feedback is truly appreciated
Every 9.0 ROM I ever flash, I always seem to have the same problem. Whether its dirty flashing, or starting with flashtool, to CMD, and then to TWRP, the same problem seems to happen. After the ROM has settled, audio quality through calls becomes a huge problem. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but it has been a persistent bug, next chance I get for the next nightly ill send a logcat, kinda cant not since back on stock. I need good call quality for work lol. Either way, thank you for bringing OMNI to 9.0 official
anyone having problems with video playback? videos dont play on instagram, youtube or snapchat. using magisk 18.1 and latest omni 9 rom
edit: nvm, found out that the Google camera fix module for magisk was the problem
Hello everyone, try to install several custom roms, there is no tutorial that explains how the rom and twrp are installed. There are many tutorials and they all contradict, some say do this, others say do the other, but all fail.
Twrp boot, flash rom, install custom rom on SLOT A, install TWRP on slot B.
PROVEN ROMS:
PixelExperience:
Very low call volume, impossible to fix.
LineageOS:
Does not start play store, does not allow login to accounts, does not allow to install gapps.
- CURRENT ROM--
Evolution X:
Does not start play store, does not allow login to accounts.
I have been installing customs roms for years and this device is costing me my life. HELP
The most users get in trouble with A/B devices because they don't know exactly the differences between A-only and A/B partitions.
You don't know how to install TWRP? Why? On twrp.me you can find a detailed instruction for every single model.
A custom ROM is always a .zip file and you can flash a .zip file via TWRP. If you flash a ROM while slot _a is set as active you will install the ROM on slot _b. That's all. That is the meaning of semless updates.
Every new ROM must contain a own boot.img. A new boot.img will delete TWRP and Magisk. TWRP is a recovery and A/B devices don't have own partition for recovery. The recovery is merged in the boot partition.
Also Magisk uses the boot.img to patch the ramdisk. Flashing a new boot.img means you override the patched ramdisk with a new own. As a result you need a new Magisk installation.
my recommendation is starting from scratch with a clean stock 10 install then trying again...
lineage wiki probably has the best install instructions https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lake/install but also check its forum thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-plus/development/rom-lineageos-17-1-t4076569 for other recommendations . if you want evolution X read the instructions in its thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-plus/development/rom-evolution-x-4-1-69-moto-g7-plus-t4081731 as well but there pretty much the same.... you've probably went threw those threads already based upon you saying you have tried 3 diff roms already, but try again from a clean install of stock 10 (IF you want to run a 10 rom). i know it's not really a "clean/easy/simple" solution/tutorial, but with this device there is some trial and error for getting a half assed working install. however MAKE SURE you are on a stock 10 rom when installing a 10 rom, pixel experience is a 9 rom and that could be part of your problem. moving from android 10 stock, to a 9 rom, then back to a 10 rom will lead to issues. or a 9 rom, to a 10 rom, without moving to stock 10 in between will lead to problems.
as this isnt nearly a widely adopted device, custom rom development and support isnt even close to other devices, so expect bugs. i've always ran cfw's on all my devices ever since the htc g1/dream days, this is my first device i've stuck with stock due to the lack of rom development, lack of widespread use and people actually wanting to use cfw and users to bug report, and stock being more stable... but your mileage may vary. also no disrespect meant towards the hard working dev's who do work on this device, keep it up.
Thank you very much, I feel lucky that you have responded so quickly, sometimes my messages I post in this forum are never answered. Right now I am with revolution X:
--- It has TWRP perfectly installed, it has the boot.img patched with Magisk without any error and rooted perfectly, but google play for more than clean and reinstall it never opens, it does not allow me to login to the accounts, the APPs they close alone, etc.
I will try to put the stock and again but I have very little hope. thanks, again¡¡

yeah it seems to be pretty finicky getting a good install and gapps seem to have issues. reading all the posts in the lineage17 thread just make me cringe. as much as i'd love to use lineage as my daily driver (or evo X) my days of willing to put up with a buggy rom and daily dirty flashing have come and gone. this was my first, and will be my last, moto device for the the simple fact it just doesnt have the user base and its development is stunted, compared to more widely used devices.
i hope you get something working, the lineage17 thread definetly has some good advice on what people have done to get a working install, should be able to apply flash order etc to a evoX install (minus having to install gapps for evoX)
solved
I managed to perfectly install the Stock Rom with the following tool:
Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant, a real wonder, simply select the model and in fastboot, immediately install the factory rom.
