So I got my 6GB/64GB x720 yesterday. It had Google Play Store already installed (ordered it from HonorBuy) and asked me to install a 7MB OTA, so it seems it had a recent version of EUI on it. My idea was to put LineageOS 14.1 on it or if it wasn't stable enough for me, at least a debloated and rooted stock. So searched XDA and followed this HowTo. No Errors, flashboot oem device-info said, bootloader unlocked, perfekt. Installed TWRP, downloaded recent LineageOS and followed the guides to flash (wipe, ...). Unfortunately flashing never finished, I always had a full progress-bar and it stayed there without doing anything (ok, the device got hot). Thinking of a broken download, I redownloaded the ROM but same problem. So I started downloading other ROMs from XDA: Resurection Remix and OmniROM. Flashing-process went thru, but couldn't flash gapps and ROMs didn't boot at all. I was always only getting to the LeEco-Bootlogo with the chinese writings. So next thought was, maybe for some reason I can't install Lineage-based ROMs, let's figure out later and get a debloated stock ROM. So I downloaded MAURO V2.2_Free and gave it another try. Looked more promising, as the bootlogo was a little different, no more chinese writing but english. Unfortunately this was all I could see of MAURO as I only got a bootloop... so again reflashed MAURO and this time a single line in TWRP-output came to my eye "boot.img could not be written". I checked flashboot oem device-info after every flash and it always told me, bootloader is unlocked, but there seems to be something else that I'm missing that obviously still keeps the bootloader locked. I wiped the phone several times, even sdcard... nothing helped. The only method that worked for me to get a working rom running was by this guide, manualy flashing every bit of stock ROM with flashboot. With MAURO-ROM, I also tried to flash boot.img manually with flashboot, but that didn't work, either.
Anyone of you experienced the same? What am I missing? Or is this some new protection implemented by LeEco for the most recent devices? Any help really appreciated!

I have the same phone from Honorbuy, I flashed twrp using the tool by Mauronofrio and from the twrp wiped all and flashed the custom rom, all went ok, no errors at all! Glad to see you have solved anyway!
Thanks for the answer... no, it's not solved for me... still a lot of bloat on the phone I can't get rid of. Do you have a link for the tool you mentioned? Could be worth a try...
Hi! I've used this tool installing it on a Windows 7 64 system:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/tool-tool-one-mauronofrio-t3580611
Then turned ON the (original LeEco stock rom) usb debug option by the rom's developer options, then downloaded the LineageOS 14.1 by Team Superluminal in the phone's internal SD (the only SD it have!) + Arm64 nano Gapps, then with the tool gave a reboot in sideload mode. Then flashed the twrp recovery by the tool, restarted in recovery mode then executed a backup of ALL the "backupable" stuff (all the original rom and data and efs), then in wipe/advanced options I wiped dalvik, system, cache, data. Then in Advanced/file manager I wiped all the SD files with a dot ( . ) at the beginning of their names, then flashed the custom rom + gapps, reboot system, wait some minutes, done!
No luck with this tool, it doesn't even find my device. Any other ideas? I've read something for the x727, where they had to flash a 19s bootloader first, but I don't want to fiddle with flashing files that are not 100% meant for the x720...
CDFS
Solved! As I could install TWRP I just went the next step and installed SuperSU (rooted the phone) in order to at least debloat stock rom. During the installation of SuperSU I saw, that SuperSU obviously patches somehow the bootloader. After checking that SuperSU worked in the ROM, I was curious if this could be the missing part I was searching for. I tried to install a LineageOS-based ROM and BINGO! it just went straight through! From my previous phones I was used to just install TWRP, wipe anything and flash desired ROM. This seems to be different on this device... so the proper procedure to be able to flash any ROMs is: Install TWRP, root stock ROM, reboot so SuperSU is fully functional, then go back into TWRP, wipe, flash what you want.
CDFS
I hate to say it, but it's still not solved. After testing Resurrection Remix, I wanted to test turbos ROMs, so went to TWRP, wiped and flashed... and got the same behaviour as before, ROM not booting. Also installing SuperSU via TWRP again didn't help, so brought back the phone to stock 023S manualy with the guide by Presterin, installed TWRP again and also SuperSU. No Errors, but flashing a different ROM didn't worked. So for now I'm back to stock, rooted it and tried to debloat it by myself. The only difference between the successful flashing and the failed was the stock version: I had the 026S-update when I rooted the phone and successfuly could flash another ROM. My guess would be that LeEco changed something in the bootloader, but I have no chance to verify this. Anyone from the devs maybe who could look into this? If you need dumos, logs or anything like that, I would be happy to help.
CDFS
This seems unrelated to bootloader.
Anyway:
1. Make sure you got the latest firmware, if not sure:
1.1. Download latest OFFICIAL ROM
1.2. Rename the rom to a 'update.zip' and place it on phone's root directory.
1.3. Reboot to fastboot and flash STOCK RECOVERY
1.4. Reboot to recovery and flash, also check wipe data.
DO NOT FLASH STOCK ROM WITH TWRP! THIS WILL NOT WORK!
That's it, you should have the latest firmware now.
After booting to stock rom, reboot a few times is recommended.
2. Download latest OFFICIAL TWRP
2.1. Flash TWRP with fastboot.
2.2. Reboot to TWRP.
2.3. Download any custom rom of your choice.
2.4. Wipe.
2.5 Flash.
Done.
You can try to flash a stock, old rom using the "Qfil/FlashOne" way as suggested by Tryzex (read his thread and other related threads), then once you have got a stable, full working phone, you can (hopefully!) wait for a LeEco OTA automatic update that can "repair" the file system/partition structure (also bootloader I hope!).
Btw, to debloat it isn't necessary to root the phone, you can keep the phone unrooted & debloated using the file manager embedded in twrp recovery to delete/replace any file/app you want. I'm sorry I can't help you better, cheers and... good luck!
PS
I see now the post from Voron00, it's a good hint!
@voron00 thx for the steps described. I'm using the most recent, official TWRP (3.1.1). Latest Official Stock seems to be 023S on their site, even though there is a 026S update. However, I did this 026S-update and rooted again, but was to cusious if flashing would work now... so I tried flashing turbos MIUI... guess what? It worked. So for whatever reason I seem to have trouble when flashing from a 023S, but no problems when flashing from 026S. I don't quite understand why you think that my problem is not related to the bootloader? As mentioned in the OP, I could see in the logs that while flashing, some roms had thrown errors regarding writing the bootpartition.
CDFS
Seems as I found the culprit, somehow. At least I could flash two other ROMs without any problems. Obviously I mixed and partly missinterpreted some steps found in different threads and howtos. I had "rm -rf for formating" ticked all the time in TWRP. My flashing procedure is now as follows:
1. in TWRP settings check that "rm -rf instead of format" is NOT ticked
2. wipe Cache, System and Data
3. repair filesystem for Cache, System and Data and check that no errors occur
4. in TWRP settings tick "rm -rf instead of format"
5. flash ROM
6. wipe Dalvik
CDFS
"rm -rf" clears all the files and directories without formatting the partition. If your partition is damaged you need a real format to obtain a reliable partition (if the "disk" isn't faulty). Perhaps in your case a real format was required to solve the problem! I always used the real format and assumed other users even so. I see you finally solved the problem!
Hi you there,
I start this thread because I´m having some issues installing 8.0 and 8.1 Oreo Roms, every of them have the same problems when I try to install them in my device (REDMI 3X). Actually, I have install and running Resurrection Remix Nougat + Gapps Micro, and it works fine.
When I try to install some Oreo Rom, I have these 2 possible options:
1 - I install rom + gapps (no matter which one, cause I tried each one): phone restarts and stucks at logo and after maybe 30 minutes I must restart it manually and reinstall a nougat rom. It never starts, and it is f...ng annoying.
2 - I install rom, afterwards, I restart and it works fine, but I have no gapps. The I boot into recovery and after gapps are installed I restart the phone, then gapps never work.
Please, I just get 2 times an oreo rom working, but now they never work, I don´t know whta to do. I also tried different recoveries, flashing them from PC, installing them from .img with TWRP, nothing seems to work. As I said: F...NG ANNOYING. I need heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
I think I am not the only one with this problem, if anyone can help I will appreciate that.
Thansk in advance.
First of all, this should be in the Q&A section. Secondly, I can help you. I'm sure that you downloaded the gapps from the cloudkenzo something, right? Yeah those gapps do not have any issues, instead they make an issue. After flashing your rom and then these gapps file, the system partition normally unmounts. But usually when you boot into the ROM, the partition should re-mount. These unofficial gapps causes some issues with that. A simple solution- Just mount system in twrp, now reboot to system and you should be fine. I faced the same issue and this is my solution.

Make sure using the latest twrp.
If u already have the latest twrp then the problem is in gapps, use gapps for oreo 8.1, maybe there is posted in ur rom thread

I already tried, it did not work, I have installed last gapps 8.1, last twrp, last everything and it never works, it keeps stucking again and again.
same ****ty problem with my 3s 2gb .. doesnt matter which oreo 8.1 rom i flash.. tried almost 4 oreo 8.1 roms.. all couldnt boot.. and if by chance it boots then cant add google account..
yet to try that 'Mount' thing solution suggested by Williams
You ask in wrong place stupid!
Ask in Q&A section stupid!
This section jus for downloading rom and kernel stupid!
I face the same issue with a Redmi 3 S (global version) with 3 GB RAM. Nougat ROM's are fine but all Oreo ROM's which I tried (most recent builds of PixelExperience, crDroid, Atomic-OS) show these boot loops. This is all with the latest TWRP installed (also tried custom builds), cleaned properly my device and was using the linked Oreo GAPPS. I usually flash in one instance 1) ROM, 2) GAPPS and 3) Magisk.
The only time I had a working Oreo ROM was after several tries with PixelExperience where on my last try I booted into safe mode and it somehow worked after that.

Hi,
I have a rooted OP5, running 5.1.7 and TWRP. I used Oxygen Updater to download the new android 9 ROM. I tried to install via TWRP, but got an error about zip compatability & a treble problem. I found a thread stating that I needed a newer TWRP to fix the treble problem, so I installed TWRP_3.2.3-Pie_siankatabg_OP5 , which said it had Pie support, from here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903996029
That worked fine, but when I tried to flash the 9 ROM, I got still got the same error. Another post said to remove compatibility.zip from the ROM zip. I did that, and it now installed, but it wouldn't boot. Re-flashing 5.1.7 booted fine. I tried another TWRP - twrp-3.2.3-0-20181227-codeworkx-nocompatcheck-cheeseburger from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723
That installs, and boots to system, but won't boot to recovery, so I can't install the 9 ROM.
Any ideas where I go from here to upgrade to 9?
Thanks!

Hi, I got Pie to install with TWRP_3.2.3-Pie_siankatabg_OP5 on my device.
Go to this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78523940&postcount=13
And follow my post on the part where it says:
" Notes for the Pie update: "
Let us know if those steps work for you. The firmware is linked to on there, pre-modified. Try flashing that pre-modified zip and see if your device boots.

It sounds like you did not follow the detailed flashing instructions in the first post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
Is your device storage encrypted or decrypted? Have you flashed magisk? Have you used an older magisk(your end link leads to my post where I mention that)? Have you downloaded the rom file without compatibility.zip or did you removed it on your own?

Thanks for the links both, but still no go. I was on Magisck 17.1, uninstalled Magisk with the latest uninstaller, flashed the ROM with compatability.zip already removed. Same result as before - I get the oneplus logo, then it just reboots instead of starting the system. I've only wiped cache & dalvik, I don't really want to wipe more than that if I can help it - it is worth trying a system/vendor/data wipe? I recovered by flashing back to 5.1.7 (also updated to Magisk 18 while I was at it).
Any more ideas? One thing I find a little weird is that I'm on the @siankatabg TWRP, when I tried either the bluespark & codeworx TWPR, I couldn't get into recovery with either, I just got a blank screen with a LED staying on light blue. Only the siankatabg recovery works. Surely any of them should work? Does this point to a problem?
I'm not sure what you mean by encrypted or not - I get messages about unencrypting when going into recovery, which I assume means I am encrypted?
THanks!

Maybe try backing your device up, and then locking the bootloader. Try updating with stock recovery on a locked bootloader. If that works, you can then unlock the bootloader and copy your data back

Please use an older recovery like twrp-3.2.3-0-20181031-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img the actual pie recoveries require pie firmware(mentioned in last post of blue spark thread for example).

OK, I understand now - if I use an older TWRP, or the siankatabg version, it works fine. I can then flash the Pie ROM, however it still won't boot - I get the oneplus logo, then it just reboots. However having done the Pie flash, I can then flash the more recent TWRPs (codeworx or Bluespark), and can now get into recovery fine. However Pie still won't boot - I've even tried re-flashing the Pie ROM from within the newer TWRPs, but the result is the same - it gets to the oneplus logo, then reboots. At this stage I guess wiping system/vendor/data is the only way forwards?
*Edit* - OK, so wiping everything fixed the issue, I'm now on Pie. Flashing Magisk didn't work when flashing the ROM, but I'll try again once it's finished downloading all my apps etc.
Hello All,
I am on stock debloated ROM and when I try to flash Arrow Pie ROM with gapps, the flash is successful and I can boot into the new ROM.
When I try flashing Citrus or Revenge OS Roms which are also Pie based, flash is successful, but it takes me to a 'Enter password' screen. Can anybody please help me here?
Things to note:
I am on the latest TWRP (3.2.3.1)
When I go to Security settings on the phone, it shows that my phone is Encrypted.

Skip the password screen and decrypt your data partition by formatting it (the option where you have to confirm with "yes", not just swipe in TWRP). Caution: Your data will be lost, so backup everything.
Somebody mentioned this link as a ton for the x606f, but did not say which file.
TrebleGSI - Browse /crDRom at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
Any ideas?
Got a response the link is :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/treblerom/files/crDRom11/2021.04.28/crdrom-v306-210428-arm64-bvZ.img.xz/download
It flashed fine but the install of nikgapps failed due to storage full error. I tried rebooting to system and tehn going back to recovery, but now I get a request from twrp for the dta decrypt password.
I tried default_password and everything else I could think of. I even reflash twrp with no luck.
Any thoughts?
The gapps issue is system needs to be expanded and our version of TWRP fails when trying to resize the partition. I will try manually, but first I need to solve the twrp problem. A smaller gapps package might also work.
I got twrp working again by doing a full rescue with LMSA and then reflashing twrp and magisk, but that leaves me where I was before I started the exercise.
The new rom looks good, if I can get twrp and gapps to work.
Resizing the system partition works with stock room installed, but fails as soon as the gsi imaged is flashed and rebóoting back into recovery gives decryption password issue.
Anyone who has this working help?
I can get a clean install now. Figured out the steps. Will post once I get it fully working.
The issue I now is "This device isn't Play Protect certified." No google apps will run.
I will research that issue.
Got it working with a few caveats. I will create a new thread with instructions shortly.
I'm not sure anyone understands what this thread is about. At all.
