[CUST] Universal Cust Mod

Here is the universal cust mod. If you have a Helium (64/128gb) Mi Max and want to flash the Global ROM on it, the cust mod will unlock all Locales. Merged is the cust from the 32GB Global ROM and the Chinese 64/128GB rom. The Chinese region is set to US as well. I removed the extra unnecessary preinstalled apps from the cust folders as well. To flash the global rom simply fastboot flash the boot.img and system.img from the global rom through fastboot. Then make sure you have TWRP installed and boot into it immediately after flashing the global rom and flash the Universal Cust Mod. Then (optional) flash SuperSU in TWRP. After a reboot you'll be on the Global rom on your Helium.

Do not flash boot img from hydrogen to helium, otherwise bricked device guaranteed.
Flashing different boot.img on locked bootloader will result a hardbrick and only testpoin method will work.

The boot.img from each model is pretty much the same. I don't recommend flashing anything other than stock roms with a locked bootloader, I would unlock the bootloader first before flashing any custom roms or mods. I also have a Global rooted ROM for the Helium I'm testing with google apps and Adaway. I should have a release tomorrow.

Well, I got instruction posted how to flash custom roms and get root without unlocking bootloader, posted in guides section.
I tried flashing global rom for hydrogen on my helium then your mod and ended up with a hardbrick.
Then I tried to flash it with boot.img and the same result.
Had to put device in EDL with testpoint.
I guess it doesn't work with locked bootloader, while custom roms work fine.
I am also a ROM/Kernel developer but I just don't want to unlock my device, unless they release kernel sources.
But I was developing for Sony, there are no cust at least for Z Ultra.
Did I get that correctly and it's just unlocking languages that are in the rom?

Hey Doom, it'll be extremely helpful if you could write a guide about using that test point... I read some russian and I still couldn't get how exactly you connect it to battery from that 4PDA guide!? Best start with how you open the phone.
It'll help a lot of people seeing so many bricked devices...
Thank you for all the useful info you bring here!

Yeah the cust mod unlocks most Languages and unlocks all regions but those are the things you enter at the beginning steps when you first flash a rom or go back to stock.

Moving from RR Nougat to oreo

So, I am on RR nougat official firmware(4.15 or whatever lol) but want to move to Oreo....what must I do?

Download OTA from OP site, plug 3T into PC, wipe data and flash ota. When finished you can lock bootloader if you want or follow root guide.

Hardware firmware and "ROM" system is not the same. The firmwares used by the Bluetooth controller and modem hardware is independent of the ROM except for the fact that the application layer apps/phone RIL must be able to communicate with the modem firmware. Therefore it's important to have the matching firmwares in the phone for the ROM bundled binary packages (binaries and firmwares taken from the same original OxygenOS ROM) for them to be as compatible as possible.

Everything was ok, but after flash a new rom my sensor files got corrupted.
I've tried flash stock rom and wipe Dalvik, anything worked, now i flash other roms and nothing.
I saw some guides about that in other phones, they fixed it looking for sensorfiles into the motherboard and switching with right one..

That's never happened to me before. Did you flash an incorrect model bootloader?
What model Note 8 do you have & exactly what files did you flash? I'm confused by your post, did you get it working or did you still need help to get it working?

And you should change the thread title. TWRP has nothing to do with your sensors not working.

What bootloader were you on before? Were you on Nougat or Oreo before flashing Weta? What version Weta rom did you flash & did you flash Weta bootloader & modem update?
I've been using Weta rom for a long time & never had this issue so I still think it's a bootloader issue or a coincidence that your phone's hardware failed.

Since you won't say what Weta version you flashed & you didn't flash Weta bootloader update, I'm assuming you flashed Oreo version of Weta as Weta rom itself doesn't include bootloader & modem.
Since you won't give more details on what you flashed exactly I don't have a clue on what you should do or if it is a bootloader issue. Maybe kernel related I don't know.
So at this point all I can suggest is that if you are on BRA8 now, flash entire BRA8 or BRB2 firmware in Odin, BL, CP, AP, & CSC. Or at the least flash BL & CP.

Not if you flash only BL & CP. But those won't flash kernel. If you still have the issue, trying flashing a custom kernel if you don't want to loose TWRP & reinstall.

First off, I feel there would be many more reports of this with either TWRP or Weta Mod if the issue lay there with either of them.
I have used both in the past and have always worked fine for me.
Did you follow the flashing instructions letter by letter?
Have you got the latest TWRP that works with Oreo?
Which I believe you need to flash the older version before flashing the newer TWRP via TWRP with the iso.image?
I would just flash the full stock image via Odin like others have suggested. If the phone then works fine, as it should after this, try again but just take your time doing it.

Hey @Ragarianok can you help me please? I want to downgrade and relock the bootloader of my moto g6 also. I would appreciate if you gave me your discord or something. Thanks!

The easiest thing to do would be to unlock the bootloader, flash recovery, and just install an Oreo rom (I recommend AOSP Extended) and Google apps
you could just flash an 8.x oero rom so there isn't anything to "downgrade" in the traditional sense.Also these Moto phones need sGSI and not just GSI , i think so.
tnx

Why is there no ROM for Unlocked PRA-LX2 with EMUI 5?

Successfully unlocked PRA-LX2 bootloader with DC Unlocker
Flashed EliteTWRP (because every other TWRP is down)
Rooted with Magisk
But
There are no ROMs that says it will work with EMUI 5 PRA-LX2. Tried LineageOS that said will work with EMUI 8.x firmware and obviously didn't work.
Can't update to EMUI 8 through Team MT because it only supports locked devices?
Manual EMUI updates get stuck at 5%
Phone doesn't even show a updater app
Does this mean i'm stuck with unlocked emui 5?
Can someone please link me to a guide that will help me update to emui 8 and oreo manually so i can enjoy these awesome ROMs?
Please

Okay Haky86's LineageOs 14.1 worked but I still need a way to update that to newer LineageOS version? Anyone have a guide to dload PRA-LX2 to EMUI 8?

All roms available for this device are GSI's ( Treble roms).

I followed this guide
But the TWRP mentioned in the video didn't worked for me and No official TWRP was available for this device at that time.
After Flashing System, I did Factory reset via Stock recovery.
About Performance ... Don't expect Mid-Ranger King like performance ? UI animation seems a little slow than AOSP Stock Roms. You should also Flash NSF- Injector or L-Speed or FDE.AI like Magisk Modules Why? Because these optimize the Rom and I was able to play Call of Duty Mobile on Medium Settings?? on EMUI 8 it was struggling even on Low settings.
And I have Stock Kernel
Rom is stable ... Bluetooth Audio work. Adaptable Storage doesn't work and I heard it doesn't work on Android 9. Didn't checked the GPS.
Update ...
Things I forgot to mention ...
1) Signal bar is bugged it always shows 1 bar?
2) Camera is now choppy ... P20 pro camera Magisk version doesn't work, Gcam doesn't work because of Android 9?but you can have Google Camera Go, result is better than AOSP camera
3) Mobile Hotspot doesn't turn off, you have to Enable WiFi to turn it off???

Important Note :
*DC unlocker doesn't Unlock the Bootloader* .... * it only gives you the Bootloader Unlock Code* .... * So you have select "get bootloader unlock code" NOT UNLOCK BOOTLOADER ( currently I don't remember the correct option on DC unlocker Client)
Firstly I downgraded to Android 7 via Hisuit, then Unlocked the Bootloader. At that time DC Unlocker worked only with EMUI 5 ( Android 7), I don't know about the current status of DC unlocker. If you try to get bootloader unlock code with Android 8 it won't recognize your device.
Updated to Android 8 via OTA to enable Project Treble

Brother Momin, which version of TWRP did you use? My phone has EMUI 8 and I have unlocked the bootloader.
I had tried following the video you mentioned above. I used the TWRP they mentioned. Then downloaded Havoc 64bit ROM and flashed it. The everything went downhill from there. I couldn't factory reset or boot up. Sadly, I forgot to make a backup and then had to get my phone flashed with the stock ROM from a professional. What was the exact steps you followed? Thanks.

I had major problems too when I wanted to boot HAVOC OS 2.9
I used this guide to unbrick mine
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...uide-brick-huawei-p8-lite-2017-maybe-t3816694
In this guide there is TWRP named RecoveryV2 ... This was the only working TWRP for my device,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/190zqju8ZmwZCzI4WXtujgKLFXvvuWTk8/view
*important Note* = I could use this TWRP to flash things like Magisk,OpenGapps or to revert to EMUI etc. This TWRP couldn't Factory Reset my device and corrupted my internal Storage.
You have to wipe system via fastboot, Flash Havoc OS via Fastboot , Factory Reset via Stock Recovery ? then Flash TWRP to flash Gapps, Factory Reset via Stock recovery ? Flash TWRP for Magisk?
In Magisk you should Flash Ainur Auido to increase Sound Quality and NFS Injector to increase the performance of Device
Its been a year since I Flashed Havoc on my device and I kinda Flash and Forget ?

Thanks for the reply. Your device is Pra-Lx2 or Lx1? Is it your daily driver? So the process is: bootloader unlock>wipe system via fastboot>flash havoc>factory reset via erecovery>flash twrp,gapps, magisk etc.
Will I be able to backup my stock rom from twrp before I flash Havoc, as a fall-back if anything goes wrong?

My device is Honor 8 lite (PRA-LA1)
TWRP couldn't do Nandroid backup. I haven't tried Official TWRP because I didn't need it.
Yes Havoc is daily driver.
If anything goes wrong,follow unbrick guide- unbrick via HuruUpdater method. Always have full Stock Rom on your PC ( as it is around 2.5gb) you can get it from Firmware Finder.
After Gapps I did Factory Reset via Stock recovery just in case?
