I see mention from several other threads on here that it is possible to install an older version of Lineage OS onto rooted Blu R1 HD. My phone is rooted but I'm not sure which version of Lineage to use on my Blu phone. Most of the guides I see mention using at least Android 7 or Android 8. My phone is still on Android 6.0 and does not seem to want to update when I select "wireless update" in settings.
Any solutions on how to update? What about which version of Lineage I should use? Or is there a version of Lineage I can use on Android 6.0 that isn't too buggy?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm new to this whole android thing. I bought the R1 HD primarily for google maps via android auto. I updated to 8.4, but it still says its Android version 6.0. Does this mean it's still android 6.0, but update 8.4? I wanted to try out the latest android OS. Which I'm not sure if it is 7 or 8.
Yep, newest Android is 7.1.2, there is no way to get it on this phone, and there never will be.
"Update 8.4" or "Update 7.4.2" is referring to the ROM version that BLU puts out. 7.4.2 -8.4 all use android 6.0.
I'm waiting for the Sony camera support in LineageOS to get that sweet sweet android 7.
Thanks for the replies. I understand now, and also have been able to test out the new Android Nougat OS. I think I got it figured out. Thanks again.
Hello! It may sound silly but can anyone please confirm whether official "twrp 3.2" supports nougat roms like RR official final build,vortex os 3.6 etc?
Thanx in advance.
it should, as I have installed oreo blu spark recovery to install nougat ROM like sultan 14.1. So, it should support.
I don't think it "should" support. It has to support all Android versions that are flashed. And obviously it does.
Thanx guys! Now I can safely flash without risking(fear/hassle)!
I havent tested new 3.2.1-0 yet
Last time i used 3.2.0-0, magisk cant be installed
It says completed but no root access at all
So i reverted to 3.1.1-0 again and it works like a charm
Hi guys
A year and the half or even better just after I purchased my P9 I unlocked bootloader, rooted and went for custom ROM (fRomFuture - NewWorld V4) the only one available and 100% working for P9 at that time as I remember. I got this system since then and I must admit it works pretty well surprisingly without any updates. However I just received work smartphone (Moto G5) which supports dual-sim and realize this is good moment for upgrade my P9. I just took read P9 7.x/8.x ROM's flashing installation descriptions and I feel dizzy....upgrading EMUI, changing partition type from FAT to encrypted ext4..... uff... I already flashed my P9 with custom ROM but back then it seems much much easy with Android 6.
First of all how could I check my firmware version ? With NewWorld ROM I don't see this kind of info.
Second - from what I read I need to update EMUI first from 4.1 to newest ,correct ? Do I need to know my firmware version for that or upgrade could be done (on already flashed system) via Huawei official software ?
I'd like to go for [ROM][8.1][OpenKirin's RROS Oreo v6.0.0 for instance. On Moto G5 I have to install 64bit TWRP and ARM64 Gapps as well - is this the same story with Huawei ?
Make this story short - what step should I take to upgrade my unlocked,rooted P9-EVA with Android 6,TWRP and NewWorld ROM to something newer like even Android 7.x but prefer 8.x because it seems to be working much faster than 7 on my Motorola.
Thanks for help and sorry for lame questions
Flash stock firmware using dload, update to the latest firmware then flash the custom rom you want.
So I'm thinking about getting a custom ROM for my Huawei Honor 7 Lite, and i came across LineageOS one from XDA, now it doesnt say for what Phone's model the OS's are, unlike the EliteROM, so it would be very helpful if someone told me for which exact model the Lineage OS is, because my phone's model is NEM-L21C432B351, and I also wanted to know if the ROM includes a custom kernel or not, since it talks about only supporting EliteKernel, also is the TWRP version 3.1.1-0 good enough to install Lineage OS, and does the OS support USB OTG? Oh and the Lineage OS im talking about is from this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5c/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-honor-5c-t3713911
I've attempted to root this tablet with kingo app, and also pc version. But it stops at 90%. can anyone tell me best way to root an old tablet like this and also the highest version I can use and if it can be done by a novice with no experience?
TIA
Hi, just stay at official Android 6, or upgrade to LineAge OS 14.1 (Android 7)
