Hi everyone,
Apologies for my 2nd post of the evening but I'm really struggling to get my head around how to get my phone back to a usable standard with comparable workability to the stock.
Long story short, my P9 is currently using a build of the MIUI 8, which isn't recognizing my UK O2 sim nor will it let me open any settings regarding networks. I'd like to move over to another ROM but the problem really is that I don't really know how too.
I've tried to install several ROMS from these forums but none of them have been working at all.
I've done everything through the ADB controls and unfortunately, due to being a bit of a noob i didn't back up my stock EMUI (really wish i could go back to that now!).
I've tried to install various builds of the CM13.0 & Others to no avail and I feel more or less like I'm stuck on the MIUI8. - which I only managed to retrieve after a few hours of having absolutely no ROM at all on my device.
Is there a ROM that people would recommend as being stable and noob friendly in regards to installation?
My device is the EVA L09 which was running Marshmellow EMUI 4.1.1 under the stock ROM (not sure if that matters at all).
I also made all the changes with the twrp-3.0.2-0-eva.img and SuperSU v2.82
So basically what I'm looking for is help in getting my phone back to being a phone! please help!
If you've read through all this thank you ever so much and hopefully you'll be able to help me out!
EDIT: Is it easier to remove all ROMs and start again from scratch?
Did you tried this?

I gave it ago, but it ended by putting my phone into a boot loop and TWRP no longer finds my device, no idea what to do now!
Try to put a custom firmware. You can use adb and install custom recovery. From there download a custom firmware and check it out. Other way is to use a rollback firmware and then update to the latest firmware. Check forums for more details

Hello guys!
I have been using my SPRINT M8 for almost a year now and I barely managed to get it all to work internationally here in Europe (GSM).
Currently I am using custom recovery (sorry guys, I really forgot which one it is now exactly) and android 5.0.1. Software version right now on the phone is 4.20.651.10. Everything was finaly working flawless for some time. The phone is not rooted (problems rooting it, if I remember well it is an well known issue for Android 5.0.1.).
Of course, now HTC wants me to update to 4.25.651.14. but it just won't let me install it. The notification keeps popping out no matter what I do.
Any advices please? I am realy busy lately and just don't have enough time to dig deep into the forums for this. I found one custom recovery with this newest update but it requires me to have newer software than mine already installed.
I appreciate your hellp, thank you.

You have to flash the stock recovery to get the OTA update to work, it won't work through custom recoveries.

Thank you... I am getting crazy with this phone.
Hi, I did a lot of things with my One Mini 2 and I actually really don't know what to do anymore... So much options and yet there always seems to be a problem. Let me explain everything.
What I did:
-flashed a custom rom, then went back to a stock rom of this forum
-flashed the dt2w kernel, it messed up my phone so I then flashed the liberty one, which worked
But with the liberty one I had some memory problems, for exemple I couldn't take screenshots... That's why I decided that I wanted to put my phone just as it was when I bought it, I really hope that's possible, by that I mean having official firmwares etc, therefore being able to do official upgrades from my phone (is that what OTA is?).
I looked on internet and it looks like what I need is RUU, as it includes everything (from what I understood)... I know a lot of threads were made about this, but quite a few months ago, so that's why I'm making a new one, and to make things clear.
Also, I downloaded an official kernel from htcdev.com, but each time I tried flashing it with TWRP, it "failed".
So, if you guys have an answer, solution or, in best case, the actual RUU, that would be great.
Thanx

Still no RUU's avaiable as HTC wont release them. your best option is to use TWRP backup and restore.
Original stock backup
Thank you, but my backup kind of disappeared... I saw your post where there was the "HTC Original Backup.zip", I tried to flash but again it failed... Am I supposed to flash it as a backup?

You need to send it as it is to your phone and use TWRP > restore. choose file and done.
Thanx so much for answering... I uses the backup you told me to. Although I had to use the "install" option instead of the backup one, it now works perfectly! But how do I know if my phone is "official"? Are the upgrades going to be made straight from the phone?

Yes OTA updates should work just fine. just look for updates in settings>about >software update.
you may have one for polaris office.
Hi, I just want to check this too before I screw up wife's phone..
She has CM12 on her phone now as I replaced recovery as well as unlocking bootloader. Now she wants it back to stock as too many things crash on her. I get that I can install your backup but what worries me is that other posts have said you need the stock recovery to allow for OTA updates to work and the link to this no longer works.
She MUST have OTA updates or my balls will be removed, so can you please confirm this, but also explain why.
Thanks (on behalf of my testicles and unborn children!)
(Oh, and she wants it unrooted ant the bootloader relocked)

Stock Recovery
To unroot just lock bootloader:
fastboot oem lock
The title explains it all. I got this phone knowing I could root and install CFW, but wanted to just "use" it for a few days in stock. I don't mind stock, I would jsut prefer a custom firmware. I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to do to downgrade to Lollipop so I can flash TWRP and begin using CFW. A simple set of instructions would be very appreciated. Thanks to anyone who can help!

There appear to be guides here for doing those things with 6.0 installed, such as MicroMod777's guides.
After a few more hours of digging, I figured it out. I may draw up a cleanly laid out guide referencing the posts that helped me for people in the position I was.
Thank you!
No, you don't need to downgrade, just go ahead and install TWRP & CFW.
Careful with downgrading, becuz H811 has Q-Fuse enabled, if you mess up you'll end up with a 9008 hard brick
im having a similar issue im trying to root/unlock 20p and its not finding any device in fastboot it just sits there saying locating any device and never locates anything adb see's the phone just fine anyone know anything about that? thanks for the help in advance

Yea, I'm trying to root my new updated G4 that's on 20p. I have one that's soft bricked already that I'm trying to fix and don't wish to brick another.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Im in the same boat. No devices found after fastboot. Any advice?
Hey guys ive been perusing the web for days, i cant seem to find the method that should be used to get a new rom on my phone i have the SM-N950U1.
i am also a linux user and not sure exactly how i should go about flashing when i dont have a windows machine. does any one have a clear start to finish idea how to correctly do this and what i will need to complete the root, flash. im sorry if it covered some where i hae looked but evidently not found a method. any assistance would be very grateful i really dont like proprietry bloatware and i know this is an older phone. thank you all for any assistance!
1. Unlock bootloader.
This will factory reset your phone.
I forgot the exact process of this, was a long time ago when I did this.
2. Flash a Custom Recovery with "ODIN"
"TWRP" is the most common Custom Recovery.
I think ODIN is Windows-only Software, but you could use a VM.
3. Boot into Custom Recovery & flash the Custom_ROM.zip file.
You can try out Custom ROMs from XDA from the ROMs-Section.
I may have forgotten something, so take this with caution

First of all the SM-N950U1 (snapdragons soc models) has a permanent LOCKED bootloader so no TWRP recovery.
The post from dreamytom is for SM-N950F/F-DS/N exynos models.
You can only root the SM-N950U1 models, with nougat firmware with root only, depending on the bootloader you are on and if you can find the files needed for it. The thread for that "Extreme Syndicate root thread " has been disconnected and the files taken down, so might want to ask in that thread for someone to share the files for you.
Best of luck!

Thank you guys, ill check that link out now and see what i come up with
by the sounds of it there maybe a new phone in my near future
I installed LineageOS, but bluetooth isn't working, and I've had no luck fixing it. I honestly didn't like it more than stock, and I have no desire to fight to make it work.
I just want to go back to stock, but I have had no luck.
Is there some guide to do this that I just cannot find?
I've downloaded what I believe is the most recent full ROM for this device (055f1d0089a2a397bebd5882a9a63bdb779f4834.zip), but trying to flash it using the same tools and method as installing Lineage just is not working. Most recent effort resulted in "Denying OTA because it's SPL downgrade
My brain hurts from searching for answers, and not I just want to give up, but I have a completely factory reset phone in front of me, and I need to get this resolved.
Any help will be much appreciated.

I did eventually find the download and run it successfully. It was frustrating that I had to update about 5 or 6 times to get up to date, but it did eventually get me back to a fully updated, stock phone.
thank you.
thanks!
