Hi
I have been following the thread for the linage os in the View 10 forum.
Several people have reported it working on Honor 9 Lite which is treble compatible, before I try it out however I wanted to be sure I could go back to my current rom which is the official LLD-L31 for the UK honor 9 lite.
My current build number is LLD-L31 8.0.0.121(C432)
What options do I have to restore if I don't like the rom I flash?
So far I have managed to pull the System & ODM folders to my pc. all except the Vendor file due to a permissions error.
Is this enough? Can I simply push these folders back? and at which point do I attempt the push? When booted/in recovery etc?
Otherwise, Is there an official or unofficial Huawei/Honor restore tool? or maybe a full rom I can flash? HiSuite says it has this function, but my device isn't listed.
Sorry for all the questions, it's been a while since I flashed a rom & it was always via TWRP I understand treble roms are flashed via the stock recovery though

I have the same model and have also been following the thread. My understanding, and hopefully someone will correct if wrong, is that with project treble GSI you're only overwriting, via fastboot, system.img partition, therefore if you want to return to your original I suspect you can do the same thing again and fastboot original.img with a factory reset.
There is a utility called huawei firmware finder which allows you to look for firmware. I tried it but can only find the LLD-AL10 8.0.0.100(C675CUSTC675D4) which i think is for the 4/64GB veresion or may even be for the huawei P smart. Until honor make the firmware available not sure what other options exist.
BTW it would help if you report back with any success/failures if you try it. Also interested in what this version Lineage OS is missing/not working, I think the camera still has some issues last i checked the thread.

Thanks for the reply, I suspected that's how it worked, just flash back the original system image.
I think I'm gonna hang fire for the time being until I know I have the correct firmware to go back if needed, hopefully the camera will be sorted by then too.
I flashed a firmware today and couldn't revert to stock because can't find it. Any ideas?

When you unlocked your bootloader and before you overwrote your system partition you should have taken a backup of your stock system partition so you can restore it. Honor has not made the firmware available yet as far as I know.

Just in case I decide to try this, how do I get a flashable file?
I pulled the contents of system + odm via ADB but just ended up with 2.3GB of folders.
Can I convert this to a flashable .img file? Or should I have done this another way?

found description for how to do it for v10 on another site:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img
this implies root is required so I guess you would:
1. unlock bootloader
2. load TWRP.
3. load root (su).
4. reboot back into TWRP and save system.img.
However, you make it work you need to make sure system.img is saved before any changes are made.

I was thinking about this today & came to the same conclusion.
The idea is to pull a clean unmodified system image, but the only way to do that is by using root privileges SU, then via TWRP - Does that not make it a modified image?
Maybe I'm thinking about it too much:silly:
What Root method & TWRP versions have Honor 9 Lite users had success with? I'm keen to give this a go

Not TWRP as that is the recovery partition (recovery.img) not the system partition (system. Img). Not sure about root though as i believe that does add stuff in one, or more, of the system sub folders, maybe someone else can confirm, but if you're using superuser then unzipping that should tell you what's being added and where. However, if you think about it, this has always been a bit of an issue with any android. You cannot take a nandroid backup without some kind of custom recovery so how can you ever take a snapshot of the stock rom. Specialised tools can do it as they can dump the entire rom but how can any android be dumped in full straight out of the box without first changing something.?
You could try this:
https://9to5google.com/2017/11/04/how-to-backup-restore-android-device-data-android-basics/
but it never really worked properly for me.

please, can you create an flashable zip to downgrade the version bootloader to 11h?
I want to use your firmware AEX, but without a finger scanner, to live is not so good ....
or should I wait when you add support for 20a?

I think autoprime's bootstock is for 10h, and sadly I dont think people on ARB01 can't go back to that. I didnt realize that the bootstock is what is needed for the fingerprint issue. I will try to release an 11g bootstock that will do the same thing.
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but here goes: I get that the Complete images are unmolested, and I therefore assume, identical to what you get on a G6 from TMobile directly, just in Zip flashable format, but what does "Bootstock" mean? I did try googling the term, but it just defined "Bootlicking" for me, and I didn't find that helpful . I'd imagine that Bootstock means it's just the stock image stripped of all the bloat, but I'm not sure if that's wishful thinking.
Also, my H872 is bootloader unlocked, TWRP flashed to both Recovery and LAF, currently running the AOSP Extended ROM (which seems to be very problematic, at least for me), so if I choose any of the above, will they overwrite my recovery?
Thank you!
Tried flashing the C2 variant, and TWRP reported it failed verification. Also, downloaded the other ones to see. File size tells me what I need to know, LOL. Is there any way to use the complete zip versions as a base and pull out just the bloat, in order to get something more like a clean install? A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I'm working on learning a lot more about Android
Thanks!

Its the entire bootloader, which normally contains laf and recovery.
I don't believe these include recovery images. just the optional laf.
By the way @Eliminator74 I did notice that the updater-script for the full stock zips tries to do a hash check of boot, modern, system, rct and persist from the /tmp/ directory which they are not extracted to. so the apply patch check fails.

Can confirm this. I tried flashing C2 and it fails verification in TWRP. Then I tried B2 and that worked, but the Modem Only zip also failed verification. Is there any way to resolve this? Thanks.
Hi.
I recently flashed AospEX on my LG G6 H872 and went through the rooting method for this device where you install TWRP on you laf partition and then onto the recovery partition.
I want to get laf back to regular Download Mode.
I want to know if flashing this 20a bootstock (bootloader) with laf will not cause any problems to boot into the Aosp Extended Rom. I guess my question is, are they compatible?
Thanks in advance and thank you all who have contributed to rooting and unlocking this phone.
Links not working - Anyone got mirror ? @Eliminater74, are you able to help send/re-upload?
Same here. Does someone have a copy?
Hey, i've extracted the latest Global and CN ROMs and got my CN X2Pro working with Global system.img with few apps missing and some key features not working. Now i'm struggling to repack any vendor.img files bc of an error that's probably caused by some Realme tricks. Has anyone figured that out already?

I'm already working with both roms and my custom rom basically contains chinese vendor + global system. Firmware does nothing there.
To run modified system, you would need global based vendor but you obviously can't just flash global one so you need to modify it. However, I was unable to built any vendor even outta pure stock files. I already know what causes it but i can't fix it. Both vendors has euclid folder that consists outta 450mb of raw img files. I'm trying to convert em into any other img but unsuccessful so far.
Awesome. I hope this will work. I've aways wanted to shift to global from CN

Hi guys, as We know, BS3 don't have stable global rom yet for chinese version. If have some good soul here, please follow this tutorial and upload your global rom stable for communnity.
The step is very easy, fallow this guide to unlock and flash twrp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/bl...ckshark-3-3-pro-3s-unlock-bootloader-t4141537
After unlock and flash twrp, make sure to logout your Mi Account.
Go to TWRP> backup > select all box (don't select data user and EFS) wait the proccess finish. After finish, go to PC plug the device, copy your twrp folder to your pc, compact it with winrar and upload it. Share with us.
With this way we can get legit global rom for BS3 (normal version).

Maybe no one will do because they could be afraid of getting bricked or afraid of not receiving ota updates anymore. If only bs team will share it (and not sell), we won't have this problem. Now I hope they fail spectacularly on the next update or in JoyUI12 so they wont have a choice but to release full rom over ota. Imagine that.
the method is very easy ;-; , sad
I would love to dump my rom, but the thing is, this TWRP recovery won't guarantee the safety of my device. I just bought this and I check the link and the files that were put in there, I'm not sure if I should risk flashing a modified TWRP created by an unknown dev, I also would not risk flashing a Chinese TWRP recovery not knowing the compatibility of Global devices to CN ones. You're right, it is easy as point click and type commands, but the risk is high also and bricking the phone is too easy too. I hope Blackshark really opens up on devs like what Asus is doing on their ROG3. This would make their device a lot more famous, allowing developers collaborate with each other. If I can't figure out a safe way to root and install custom recovery at least in the next few months, I might sell this device, too bad this has serious hardware that can rival flagships but, it's a deal breaker for us not to have custom recovery backups and rooting too. Ecosystem is too restrictive. I dunno what these chinese folks were thinking when they made this device.

don't have error. If you would want revert back for stock recovery, just lock your bootloader again and it will revert back for original system.

The problem is you are trying to install Indian software onto European one. Don't know exactly why, but is is not possible. On the other hand you can do fastboot enhance your burnt will wipe your device and probably brick it if you don't read guide properly.

You can download, you can install, but people did this on 9 Pro and got problems with SIM card and other functions of the phone. That may not happen to you, but you take the chance?..
On top of this you must wipe your phone with downgrade rom or MSM tool...
you need to use the full rom, not the ota
