None of the custom roms are booting

Hey everyone! I have a weird problem. I have rooted my Honor 5C NEM-L21 but everytime i try to flash a custom rom it gets bootlooped. I have tried multiple different roms and formatting /data as f2fs , yet have the same problem everytime that i flash a custom ROM. I have as well everytime downgraded the OS back to EMUI 4 and updated the OS to EMUI 5 but it does not help with the problem. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this problem? Thanks

I have used HassanMirza01's TWRP everytime when flashing, that should be the correct one right?

Yeah, not sure what im doing wrong then. Maybe i should try to reflash the kernel after flashing the ROM. This phone is pretty painful to mod if you ask me

Try the stock kernel.I did that to make Lineage work,or you could try first to install elite rom then the rom that you want.

Good job sir, work fine for me

First of all, many thanks for developing a ROM for this device.
As far as feedback can go though : I've tried installing this rom over and over again but without luck.
I tried flashing the rom (with and without gapps) on TWRP 3.1.1 as well as TWRP 3.2.2.0. Every time I get the boot screen (Moto powered by android) with the usual warning about the phone being unlocked, then the warning goes away and the boot screen just hangs there without any indication of anything happening on the screen.
Device : XT1663
Stock ROM : Moto-M_XT1663_S378_180503_ROW Android 7

facing same problem
me too facing exactly same issue

Currently just flashed that file, and I got past the motorola logo screen, but now I seem to be having a bootloop. I'll leave it be for an hour or so then I'll try to reinstall again if it doesn't work still.

there is some problem with the rom i will look at it

@CJ2311 thanks for testing and really appreciate the feedbacks. I have a question about your Moto M, are you experiencing the battery drain as well? like once it reaches to 50% or below it'll immediately drain to 2% in just 1-2 minutes or so?
@blitzfire3 thank you so much for your time developing LOS 14.1 as I'm really looking forward to getting it if this battery drain issue won't be addressed as it seems Lenovo/Motorola doesn't plan to anyway...

Sounds like you might have a defective unit.
Personally for me it's quite the opposite, the phone holds the entire day easily, and I can often make it last 2 days. Whenever I get the battery low warning it'll keep running for quite a while in standby or light use, and even when I get the "battery level critical, phone shutting down in 30 seconds" warning, it only shuts down after 5 minutes or more...

Project Treble? Working?

Hello everyone,
is it possible to Flash a treble Rom with unlocked Bootloader?
Do i need twrp also?
If it is possible i will try to install all Apps from the global rom to the treble Rom.

I think yes, but I'm not sure

Was wondering the same thing, does anyone know if the red magic 3 is A only or an A/B device. I'm pretty sure it's A only, but I couldn't find any documentation online.

Its A only i think.

Hum... So Project Treble should work ?
That is interesting !
If I could install Resurrection Remix to this device and provided everything works it would become really almost perfect.
If anyone wants to try... If not I'll do it myself when I have time (in 2 or 3 days)...
Regards.

If the device has treble support, meaning a vendor partition it should work no problem, a/b partitioning is really not required for treble.

I tested treble using fastboot, since twrp had some issues, but it resulted in a bootloop and a corrupted recovery partition. I managed to fix it by following: https://forum.xda-developers.com/red-magic-3/help/stuck-fastboot-mode-t3937527/page9
Twrp gave me a mounting error for
/system_root, which is fixable by setting system to be read-only and then rebooting the recovery and re enableing read/write. Have not had the time to test using twrp and treble yet.
*I posted earlier in the day but managed to fix all the issues I had, so this a better summary :silly:

Well not necessarily, since I flashed the lineageos gsi through fastboot. (That may be the issue) I was having issues with twrp. I will try again today, although the chances are slim.

U should clear user data and cache after installing new system if you have bootloop problem
Make sure its A only GSI

Treble Attempt #2
No luck, everything flashed with no errors, but all I get is more than 10 minutes of black screen. I also tried flashing magisk right after the gsi finished, same result.

Word of advice. Do not attempt to flash anything on this cell. You will regret it. I tried to flash TWRP over 6 weeks ago an it's been dead ever since. Even a cellphone repair center guy could not repair it.
You need to leave good enough alone.
People all around the world have been stuck in permanent recovery screens or fastboot screens like me.
It really is a very good cell the way it is ?

Treble is working from chinese ROM with twrp make sure image is A/B because this device is A/B

Convert to Mi 6X issue

EDITED : I finally wanted to go back to MI A2 on Havoc OS, I wanted a clean install so I went back to stock and then installed Havoc OS, but since Stock I had some serious wifi issues, I tried differents kernels and different stock/custom roms, i think the convrtion broke it, do you have any tips for this ?
It's hard to connect to the WIFI, and when I'm connected, ii works well for few minutes/seconds and then the connection suddently drops and disappear from wifi settings.
Thank's a lot.

Hello guys,
I actually am on Stock 10 April update, and I'm not able to convert my MI A2 into 6X, I am wondering if I have to downgrade before flashing MIUI 9 or if the problem is me.
I already give it a try by perfectly follow the guide, and bricked my phone, I had to do the test points then, to revive my phone.
Now i'm back again on April update.
So, if tou guys have any idea, of what I've to do.
Thank you.

I've been looking at all the ROMs for the Mi A2 and they all have bugs I gave up installing a rom

So when you flash stock no mic issues but when you use a custom rom you're having mic issues. If so I'd definitely catch some logs while the mic issue is happening and forward them to whoever the dev is who compiles whatever rom you are having the issue on. I had my receiver speaker stop working once on a Xiaomi mix2 and I installed the stock rom and formatted data with fastboot -w and my speaker worked again. I never did figure out exactly what caused it but installing stock OEM rom and formatting data fixed it for me. Someone commented that what may have happened in my situation and possibly in yours too is something caused these issues in the process of me flashing things to my device.. If while on stock the issue isn't present then I would think whatever it is could be figured out...
How exactly are you installing roms? With what recovery and version recovery? What is your exact detailed installation method? Just curious... Hope you get it solved and fixed.

Yes when I'm using MIUI everything works perfectly but on custom roms it's really bad. Currently I'm using cherish os latest version. And the mic is not the same as in MIUI. When installing a rom first I flash MIUI again reboot. Then booting into fastboot. Flash latest pixel experience recovery then format data and then the ROM. Can you explain me the exact steps for installing stock kernel on custom ROM

I can recommend lineage os 19.1
For me there're none big issues about mic.
I'm using it around 3 weeks and didn't recognized mic problems...
