Need some assistance for a friend - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Ok so months ago, I sold my buddy my Honor 5x. It at the time had a custom rom, kernel was still based on android 5.X from stock. Now my friend wants to know how he can restore to a nand from 5.x, retuen to stock, grab the 6.X update and what ever updates are around on stock, reflash custom recovery and go on linage os.
I didn't see any links referring to tools or old roms so if anyone could help me out, that be awesome because i have to rewrite instructions with libks to send back to him.
Again i need the 5.x (before 6.0 update) nandroid so he can restore back to stock for updates

There is a very useful function called 'search bar' which is located on the top right of web page.
Here is the link, it will take you to "Honor 5X Guide..." section, locate the specific thread that may help you.

You don't back it up. You can only backup personal settings using many of the utilities available. If you want the original ROM you just get it from your provider or the phones manufacturer or do a Google search and I am sure you will find a source for it. All the kitchens used the original as a base to build on.
Thank you all, i posted the quistion at the general forum and from there i understand that i can "dump" my ROM and turn it to flashablle later.

Please help with Rom update

Hi all, I just received my HTC Hero. It currently has the default android 1.5 rom.
What is the BEST rom update that is stock, no changes and which version?
There is 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1
What do you advise me to get and why?
Also, lastly, please could someone send me a link with instructions of how to update rom/software needed for update as I don't want to brick a brand new phone.
Regards.

hasn't been developed on this forum....? Just check the HTC website for your latest retailer's ROM. They have instructions on there, if you're unable to follow "double click the exe to update" then please post somewhere else..... anywhere else..... preferably far away from here
I don't really know why your asking which stock rom is best on a forum which develops customised roms... on the other hand, if you want a guide explaining step by step how to install a customised rom (which are often far from stock) please read the first guide in my sig.
It is entirely up to you which ROM you pick but if you're going to create ANOTHER topic about which rom is "best" please read the Q&A section first and post in one of the hundreds of topics which have already been created in there!

Install android 4.2 on galaxy s3 (from Smartisan)

Hi,
I'm fairly new to android (recent iOS convert) and playing with roms, I got an international samsung galaxy s3 i9300 which was already rooted and I put the Smartisan OS on to it. After playing with it for a while, it's good but a little buggy in it's pre-alpha state, I'd like to put standard android 4.2 (not the samsung stock software) onto the device.
Would anyone be kind enough to tell me or point me in the right direction to do this please? I've googled and can find people rooting the device or putting other ROMs onto it but nothing that tells me how to put standard android 4.2 on it from the Smartisan OS it's on now.
Many thanks in advance for any help
Best,
Greg
Just flash an aosp zip via recovery and do a factory reset

thanks but I don't really know exactly what that means to be honest
Where do I get an aosp zip from and how do I flash it?

This is what the guides and FAQs are for in general

I thought I made it obvious that I wasn't able to find what I needed in there....
Nope. You didnt mention "general" at all. You said you googled. Look in "General" - important stuff is stuck at the top.
Or follow the link a moderator posted to you in your duplicate thread.
We wont spoon feed you.
Or see the sticky fas and guides .
Any user who cannot find the basics and has not read them should flash nothing .
Saves bricking your phone through ignorance is why .

I'm just asking for a bit of help, a link to something relevant, is that unreasonable to you? I thought this was a help forum.
I've looked and looked and can't find anything on installing pure android from the smartisan OS
Lots about rooting and lots about installing new roms, nothing about simply putting android 4.2 onto it... Do I just need to root it? (mine came rooted with omega on it so I don't know if simply rooting would do the job)
It's probably just the correct terminology that I need to know, is all.

No its a developers forum and users get tired of the same questions day after day .

Root does not put on a rom .

Custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy J1 Prime Mini?

So I just inherited a J1 Prime Mini 2017 model (SM-J106B), previous owner finally decided he has had enough with very limiting storage and upgraded to a Xiaomi RedMi 8. Any chance of porting Android Go to this device? I'm willing to try doing it myself in my free time, but I have no idea where to start - while I have been messing with Windows Mobile images back in the days, I've lost touch of my inner programmer and I can't work out head or tail on how to start with custom Android images. Due to the sorry size of the storage (~8GB), I'd like a firmware without all the bloat and contains just the barebones Google Go stuff.
@blakegriplingph any advice?
Has Samsung released the source tarball to this device? Also, is there a TWRP for this?
There is a sub-section on XDA found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/galaxy-j1-mini I looked it has a TWRP version etc
Necroing because I need space on the device more than ever.

Well, I see that the thread has been moved to the right forum. I see that there's a TWRP for it, but how do I go from here? How do I get an image of the flash on the phone, replace the stuff, and put it back? Sorry for sounding like a noob but as I said I've lost touch with my inner programmer and am having trouble digesting all the info.

TWRP needs to be flashed onto your device using Odin. But you can find that also in this sub-forum.

This link is for SM-J105H is it compatible with SM-J106H ?

Please delete all that.
Please.
That tutorial on REDDIT is taken STRAIGHT from my WTF INSTRUCTIONS. If you look closely, he gives me credit. But most parts are copied word for word. I recognize my own phrasing.
Except NOW the Reddit version is OUTDATED.
You need to read the instructions here on XDA, where it was invented. AND KEPT CURRENT.
If you want Reddit, go back there and ask questions.
Otherwise follow the CORRECT Instructions here on XDA.
And stop posting bad info from other forums. You can say your followed it, but do NOT post bad, outdated information.
This is what you need, and where those Reddit instructions came from:
WTF BOOTLOADER UNLOCK, INSTALL TWRP AND ROOT -- AND UPDATE
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76584629&postcount=193
Mod Edit
You'll figure it out by reading and following my current Instructions.
You probably are still on early Oreo or wrong TWRP. You're not understanding you followed outdated Instructions.
Section 9 is about updating to Pie. Your Reddit stuff copied from HERE was written before LG stock Pie even existed.
Mod Edit
Hey friend, cool your jets, chazz asked nicely. He said please repeatedly. And he's the author of the instructions you've tried to follow.
As chazz explained, those ones are out of date. He linked you the recent instructions that I and many others used successfully to root and twrp our lgv30s to get into pie and now 10.
So, go easy pal. Chazz has spent ages helping others out. And his guides are pure gold.
I'd suggest you replace the out of date guidance with current, or better, just link to chazz guide directly in XDA. So others can see best guidance too. Then come telegram and you'll get plenty help there if you get stuck
And up to you ofc, but a little apology goes a long way to fix mistakes
Good luck
