PSA - DotOS 8.1 for Huawei Hi6250 devices works flawlessly

I was about to give up and go back to stock but lo and behold I got ahold of a link to a really nice GSI for our Honor 7x devices, and any other device with the Hi6250 chipset. It has worked flawlessly on my BND-L24 and doesn't give me weird uncertified device and internal storage errors like the treble GSI found in the treble ROM forums.

I assume you have this TWRP installed, if not, install it: TWRP
Alright, let's install.
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Go to wipe - advanced wipe
3. Wipe all but SD card
3. Then go back to wipe.
4. There is an option next to advanced wipe, forgot what it was. (I think it was "Format Data")
5. Tap that option and type "yes"
6. Reboot back into TWRP
7. Flash the ROM and flash Open GApps right after flashing the ROM (I used Pico Open GApps)
8. Do a factory reset, wipe Cache, Dalvik / ART cache, and Data in advanced wipe just to be sure.
9. Reboot

EDIT: I'm no longer on this ROM so if there are bugs and you want me to reproduce them, I can not help you. Sorry, I need a more stable ROM for our Honor 7x's than this one. Thanks for understanding.

It's not the best idea to wipe with TWRP. It's better to do it with stock recovery or manually with fastboot.

Hi !
Does it work on BND-L21C432 ? What are the steps to install the rom ? Does it have to be EMUI 8.0 ?
Thank you for your work on this rom!

flashing this i hope the battery sot is good

Thanks for pointing this Rom out crayonicle, just flashed it and it's freaking great!!

Yes, this ROM will run on your device!
Well, I didn't make this ROM at all, I'm just here to share it...
I already showed you the steps, read the original post!
You must be on EMUI 8 or you will brick your device!

Did you flash the latest Magisk Beta?
Usually that is the one that works, or you can find a treble-compatible version of Magisk to flash.

Yes I flashed the 16.4, not sure what happened. I can get into twrp, tried wiping and flashing the DotOs image again but all it does is boot into Huawei recovery. When I get home I will try downloading the stock firmware from the MT website and if I can get it to boot up Ill try flashing DotOs again.

How's it compared to lineage 15.1? How's battery life? Post few screenshots and check whether substratum works or not? TIA

Tried flashing gapps linked and get an error about gapps isnt compatible. Tried flashing 8.0, 8.1 and 7.1.2 gapps and none work.

Hell yeah got the phone operational again, time to get back to flashing.

More features than Lineage and the SOT seems to be higher
Substratum only works with Magisk or other root installed

Most likely there is something wrong with what you're using to flash the GApps, like the SD card, USB OTG, etc. Try switching it out.
But before doing all that, first flash the ROM, and then reboot again into TWRP and try flashing it if that makes a difference. Make sure you're flashing the ROM like the original post says.

[ROM-sGSI] [ZUI 10.0]/[ZUI 5.0] From Z5 FOR Z2 Plus [Oreo]

What is this?
- sGSI of ZUI 10.0/ 5.0 from Lenovo Z5pro/Z5, based on Android 8.1.0, June 1,2018 security patch.
Since this was requested in some comments, I flashed it and found working for our device flawlessly, with some bugs.
Features?
-All features of ZUI 4 + Soft Charge, gestures, multi space ( dual apps ) etc. Split Screen is also available.
How to flash?
ZUI 10 :
1. Download the flashable zip from the links.
2. Boot to twrp, and wipe dalvik, cache, data, system and vendor.
3. Flash the zip.
4. Reboot.
ZUI 5:
Method 1 : (Recommended)
- 1. Download any treble based 8.1.x rom and ZUI5.0-sGSI.zip (link below).
[Please use MIUI 10 8.11.1 by Narshi Shukla as base ROM, as it seems it's Vendor is most compatible.]
2. Extract the zip in your storage. You will get three files ( two flashable zips and one folder "sGSI.....". [Folder name might differ, there will be only one folder, so no worries])
3. Boot into recovery and take a backup.
4. Clean flash treble based Oreo ROM that you downloaded.
5. From your twrp, use file manager to move " sGSI...." folder to backup folder of Twrp.
6. Mount system and vendor and wipe cache/delvik, data and system.
( Don't wipe firmware and Vendor )
7. Goto restore in your twrp and restore the system from "sGSI....." folder.
8. Flash the remaining two zips.
9. Flash magisk if needed.
10. Wipe cache/delvik and reboot. Done.
Method 2 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78389810&postcount=320
(You need treble based twrp, search if you don't already have).
After following all these steps, if your phone is stuck in Lenovo powered by android screen for long, then force reboot the phone and it will boot up to system.
What works?
-Here:
Call,SMS, VOLTE, Data, play store, Utouch, Fingerprint , Navigation, Double touch to wake, GCAM, Face Unlock, Hotspot, Banking apps, nearly everything.
What doesn't work?
- ROM specific. Bugs depend upon the treble ROM that you used as base. In some ROM, system sounds does not work. In MiUI 10, video recording might not work. Game Mode has some issues with global apps.
*FOR VIDEO RECORDING - see this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78219358&postcount=93 ****
*Update GPU drivers for VULKAN support. Link in the links section.***
Performance?
- Better than ZUI 4, smooth as butter, no stutter playing games like PUBG, notifications on time, decent SOT.
Can it be used as daily driver?
- Yes, if you can live with some Chinese texts in certain apps.
Any other thing?
- Because the ROM is ported from Z5 which has a notch, total area of the notification bar cannot be used. To see things like real time network speed and battery "percentage" you have to pull down the notification bar.
What should I do first after booting the device?
- Install play store from App center. Install magisk to remove bloat wares. Install any music app, since there is none. This will make the system optimal for us.
Also, Turn "True Full Screen Mode" ON in display settings for full screen in Apps.
Install Magisk and download and install "SafteyPatch V2" within Magisk to pass safetynet and hide banking apps in magisk hide to use them.
Open security app and give all important permissions to the apps you use, including system apps. Also include them in autorun/whitelist section.

******************************** FLASHING ISSUE ******************
While flashing this ROM, try to follow the guide above as strictly as possible. Use the ROM that is recommended.
If you are facing bootloop, download the vendor that is provided and restore it in twrp and then flash patch 1 and 2.
Also remember, during each and every step, your TWRP should have system and Vendor mounted. Check after every step.
Your phone might reboot once or twice during first boot, which is not an issue.
How to know if you flashed it correctly?
-If your phone boots into the system with "Lenovo bootanimation" , you flashed it correctly.
If your phone is stuck in "Lenovo - powered by android" splash image for more than 5 minutes, you got something wrong.

what about gcam nd notification bug? and one more doubt, can we flash it over treble pie ROM?

I have one question. If i install a sgsi rom can i back to trenle, non-treble rom just with a simple flash method?

GCAM is working.
Notification bug is not there. Only sometimes, it seems that we get late notification.
You have to flash it over Oreo because the GSI is Oreo based. Flashing over pie should work as well, since treble ROM is required. Take a backup of your system so you can restore easily, if you face any issue.

Custom kernel flashable?

Haven't tested, but should be flashable.
Edit : Custom kernel might brick the device. Will test and update.
Donot flash custom kernel, it causes self restart of device.
Note: Moxie kernels can be flashed, you should flash patch2 after flashing kernels. But, MIUI 10 comes with moxie R5.1 so no use flashing Moxie again.

Wow it's so beautiful!

I used Arrow OS 8.1 but it got stuck in bootloop and does'nt boot at all.. I followed all the steps accordingly but it did not boot up even after i kept my phone overnight to let it boot. I don't know where i did wrong.

Use MIUI 10 port of Narshi Shukla latest build. It works.
May be Arrow OS cannot be used.
You can also try using Vendor of MIUI 10 once. Restore this vendor and the system image of ZUI.
Here is the vendor:

I think only MIUI 10 rom works flawlessly for this GSI. I will update the main page details and ask to use MIUI 10 only.
You couldnot flash patch 2 because it requires vendor, and may be your vendor is now messed up.
So use MIUI 10 port, it works without any issue.

So in whatever rom I am in Oreo , I can use that firmware if I use vendor only from your backup? And shouldn't wipe it?

Well, that's how some people got this working, so yes, it's working that way as well. ( Your ROM should be treble based though )
I will attach the "Vendor" file in the main post as well, so other members can use it too.

EEA Global v10.3.8.0 to v10.3.10.0 through TWRP [MI 9T] (SOLVED)

Hello guys,
I'm searching (as the title said) someone that is in my same situation. I'm currently running the MIUI Global on Mi 9T with twrp + magisk. I'd like to update it safely but I don't know how to do. I tried to flash the rom zip through the twrp but it gives me the error "zip file is corrupt". I hope I will found someone to collaborate with.
I think the best things to do are:
- Unistall Magisk from twrp
- Reflash the original recovery through twrp
- Update MIUI Global
- Reflash TWRP and Install magisk
The possible issue is at the first step: if we unistall Magisk we could be stuck into bootloop and then we cannot do anything to restore our phone.
Another possible solution is to flash the fastboot rom through MiFlash but it is still not out and I don't know if it will ever be.
EDIT: I found how to correctly update the device. If anyone is in my same situation, just follow these steps
- Download the rom link from here
- Go to twrp and flash it (don't reboot yet)
- Go back and flash magisk
- Reboot

can you explain steps how you tried to flash by twrp?

Sure, I just downloaded the rom zip through the official updater and then I tried to flash it through twrp
Update: ok, the zip was really damaged. Now I installed it through an external source. How I can safely update now?

EEA. A developer of my old device suggested me to do this:
- Flash the rom zip
- Flash magisk (since it should disable dmverity to keep the twrp)
- Reboot
But I repeat: I'm scared like crazy because if I go into bootloop my phone will be out since a new fastboot rom will be out.
What's your opinion about this? Should I try anyway?

Before foashing new rom ununstal magisk by twrp. After all should work well

I’m on stock rom, MIUI Global 12.0.2, rooted with Magisk 21.4 and Orangefox recovery. Now there is an update to MIUI 12.0.3.
I’m not sure what to do. When I go to https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ there is no recovery to 12.0.3. I can only find firmware 12.0.3. Can I still use this solution with firmware type?

I’m rather confused. When I go to About phone it says my MIUI version is Miui Global 12.0.2 stable (QFGEUXM). But the EEA version in your link has the same number: QFGEUXM. Does that mean I can use the Redmi Note 7 EEA Stable Recovery V12.0.3.0. (QFGEUXM)?
Edit: I can see when I click Download the Package Name includes "Global". So I guess it is usable? But then do I choose the Incremental Update or must I download Full ROM (.zip)?
Edit2: Just an update in case anyone should have the same question. I flashed the EEA version without problems. And I downloaded the Full ROM.

I'm not 100% sure because I don't use MIUI, but I think it's still good, what makes you think it's not good anymore? I don't think there have been any particular changes in how MIUI or magisk works that would make it obsolete

I'm on official lineageos 17.1 and yesterday I've updated magisk to version 22, then updated the rom without problems. But I've updated magisk from magisk app not from recovery, so I'm not sure that installing magisk from recovery still works in rn7. Anyway after the rom update, magisk still works correctly. Maybe it's better to ask on the magisk thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-general-support-discussion.3432382/

Custom ROM installation

Hello . I really need some help with this problem. When I try to install for example the unofficial dirty unicorns ROM on my pixel 4 after flashing the boot.img the device won't boot into recovery. Its saying error boot prepare and it's stuck in fastboot. This also happens to other ROMs.
Thank you

Hello . I really need some help with this problem. When I try to install for example the unofficial dirty unicorns ROM on my pixel 4 after flashing the boot.img the device won't boot into recovery. Its saying error boot prepare and it's stuck in fastboot. This also happens to other ROMs.
Thank you

With all the different types of devices and that use unofficial dirty unicorns ROM, how would one provide a solution without specific information:
- Device model
- Android Version
- ROM
- ROM Version
- etc.
On the other hand, if the information was posted on the thread of the ROM you are trying to install. A solution may have already been posted.
Did you search that thread?

Yes, I know and I have searched for it. No one seems to have this problem. Will the problem be fixed if I flash the whole stock factory image? Most people have this problem when magisk patching the factory/stock boot.img.

Now, I understand your problem: I think.
In your original post you couldn't flash the boot.img not the magisk_patched.img.

Try this:
- Flash the Stock boot.img to both slots:
(fastboot flash boot boot.img --slot all)
- Delete all magisk_patched.img
- Open Magisk (Beta or Canary) Manager
- Depending on the version of Magisk Manager installed: Set the Update Channel to Beta or Canary.
- Close Magisk Manager, reboot
- Open Magisk Manager
- Tap install (Next to Magisk)
- Tap Select and patch a file
- Navigate to the Stock boot.img that you extracted from the current Factory image (October 2020)
- Select it
- tap the ✓ (Check mark)
- Tap Lets Go
- Wait for Magisk to finish patching it.
- Reboot
- Move the magisk_patched.img from the download folder on your phone to the Platform-tools folder on your Computer
- Flash it
(fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img)
