Hello!
This is my first post. I've searched for hours. Visited over 200 sites and forums tried multiple things installed all available android tools you can find online and i am seriously stuck.
Setup before problem : One Plus X - Cm13 - Version 2016 - Oct - 10. This is updated from the cyanogen website and its treated as the stable version.
Downloaded the latest version which is the 15th and got stuck at bootloop. After some searching i discovered that i had to updated my bootloader as it was the same since November 2015. In the website that i got the new version i was also given the new TWRP version 3.0.2 . So i went into my recovery flashed the new bootloader , then the TWRP , then the new ROM. Mobile boots up shows completly empty fresh install CM 13 without gapps or any of my previously installed programs. Everything is still in the storage. All installation folders from the various programms i had.
My recovery mode refuses to Boot. It just stays on the one plus logo. Tried TWRP manager from the OS but the old version 2.8.7.0 refuses to be unistalled. Adb command lines : I've been trying on windows 10 , 8 , 7 with the appropriate drivers and the only thing that i can make the phone do is go to either FASTBOOT or normal boot. Flashed the TWRP multiple times and no changes what so ever. I can make the mobile show up with ADB device, Fastboot device it shows success and when i try to boot into recovery it just gets stuck. I also got the MTP package from Windows. Basically i bricked my phone within a glass. OS works but Recovery not. Fastboot is supposignly working but i see no changes.
Thank you in advance!
Install original stock recovery then 2.2.3. If you want to use ashwins cm13,cm14 from here on out and a couple other ROMs required updated bootloader. You achieve this by flashing 3.1.3 Oxygen OS. After you updated your bootloader only twrp you can use is blusparks latest v41 or Nichets twrp. On a side note 2.8.7 twrp is old 3.0.2 is latest.

Thank you i managed yesterday from a program to flash twrp as kernel and was rebooted into a working twrp and fixed everything from there.
Can't downgrade my Honor 5x from B370 to B350, which is obviousely required before flashing Lineage OS.
- A lot of Guides write that the downgrade should be performed with the Android Update App, then choosing "local update". This doesn't work, because this "local update" menu option is no longer available on B370 Firmware.
- Other Guides write to put the "update.app" file with the old B350 firmware in a dload folder on the SD card, then to restart the phone by pressing both volume keys and power key at the same time. When I'm doing that, the package is verified, then the installation starts, stuck for about 2 minutes at 5%, then the phone reboots without any message, and nothing happened. The Honor 5x is still on B370.
Any advice? Have tried different B350 Packages from different sites. Has anyone a link to a B350 (or to another old Firmware that works for a Linage OS installation) that is proved to work for downgrading B370 on KIW 21? Thank you all in advance for any help.

Try this maybe
Someone posted patch to use customrom without downgrade
In slimrom thread in dev thread
"Someone posted patch" is very unspecific. How should I find that patch? Thank you in advance for any guidance.

So what is the recommended upgrade procedure for installing Lineage OS on Honor 5x with Stock FW B370?
1. Flash Lineage OS over B370
2. Flash this Patch
or is it the other way round?
It's disappointing that there is not anymore any guide that works. It's impossible to flash any older Honor 5x stock firmware version. It doesn't work with the Honor update program (local update option is no longer available), it doesn't work with power+Vol-Up+Vol-Down (phone reboots at 5% without installing anything), and it's also not possible to flash a Honor firmware zip with TWRP (Error 7).
What's intresting is that only Lineage OS warns that a VoLTE FW like B370 has to be downgraded before installing Lineage OS. All XDA developer sections for all the other custom ROMs don't mention that a VoLTE FW has to be downgraded before installing the custom ROM.
- Has anybody successfully installed a custom ROM on a Honor 5x without downgrading the VoLTE FW before?
- Is this downgrade only required for installing Lineage OS, or is it also required or recommended for installing any other custom ROM?

×You need twrp first, custom recovery then before anything backup nandroid first then follow normal custom rom flash processus and for volte it seems you need to flash patch after ROM.
If it boot bingo, then flash gapps, magisk whatever you want.
×Los say it but it is known for every ROM
×Seems @lineu94 giving the patch has successfuly used it.
BUT: some say to not flash what you dont know.
Im not responsable for what will happen.
Nore lineu94 giving the patch.
May be PM him to know where he got patch from who......
If it works, give him credits and thank him for useful comment and zip
Thank you all for your help.
The patch file that you mentioned is for a Honor 8 device.
In XDA Forums, there are at least three threads that describe how to downgrade a Honor 5x from B370 to an older firmware with the three different methods that I have all tried and described here, and not one of them works in my case. My Honor 5x is my primary phone, and my old Galaxy S3 is used by my wife. Since there is not one documented description that works, it's too risky to me to install Lineage OS or any other ROM. I can not take the risk to break my device because I'm using it.
Will stay on B370 stock FW and live with a laggy device and the problems (Exchange Email and Bluetooth) and the missing security patches.
I'm very disappointed from Honor: They promised functional updates for at least two years and security updates even longer. That was one of the main reasons why I have bought the Honor 5x. If Honor wouldn't have lie to their customers, we would have Andoid 8 on our device today. Instead, we have Android 6 with the last security update from March 2017. My next device will be anything other than Honor or Huawei.
Took the risk to flash Lineage OS after a successful Bachup from TWRP recovery to the SD card., and was finally successsful! But it was a lot of "try and error". What worked for me:
1. Performed factory reset in TWRP, and cleaned dvalik/cache, Then, I flashed Lineage OS, the ZIP file that was mentioned here and open Gapps in this order. Then performed factory reset and clean dvalik/cache.
2. The phone restarted, but landed in some kind of Huawei Recovery. Could restart the phone several times, always landed in Huawei recovery.
3. Rebooted the phone with pressing both volume keys and the power key at the same time. It booted into TWRP recovery.
4. Reflashed Lineage OS and Gapps again without the ZIP file. Performed facory reset again.
And hurra, the Honor x booted in Lineage OS

Does It still working for you? I will try to do this on b360 firmware
Yes, I'm on Lineage OS and the 5x is still much faster and I like the features.
But there is no more Development for the Honor 5x. According the Honor update promise, our device should be on Oreo today. And Huawei and Honor just stopped releasing unlock codes for the bootloader. It's very important that customers that want to use their device for more than one year stay away from these two brands!
I also succeeded to install Lineage OS on B360, all what we must to do is install again from TWRP. Everything is working
A month ago I tried installing Android 9.0 ROM and i got reboot loop after I did the phone setup. I tried different ROMs and everything had the same problem. Even twrp will also stop showing any files in the device and I need to change the file system and revert it back again then mount my phone to desktop and transfer the ROM. I was told that it was because of me not installing MIUI 10 before trying it. So today I installed MIUI 10 and tried installing lineage 16.0 and got the same problem. Phone starts going into reboot And recovery does not show any files!
Please help me from this hell! I'm hating this MIUI.

First of all I have to assume that you are sure that you have Redmi 5 plus (Vince) and not Redmi Note 5 Pro (Whyred), if this is the case let´s go to the next.
Any Miui rom encrypts data by default at least from oreo so no way to avoid this, if you flash a Miui rom then your data wont´be accesible and the next rom to be flashed you have to sideload it via adb (there are other ways).
I think you missed something here, if you flash a mui rom and over it a pie rom then there´s no way that your device reboots to system. You only have to flash firmware 8.1 from miui not the whole rom.
Start this from the scratch; I recommend OrangeFox recovery instead of TWRP so it has more features https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479
- Before to flash nothing In orangeFox recovery enable the options DM-verity and disable force encryption, you will find too options to keep OTA and others, check which you want.
- Flash the firmware miui 8.1 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603850663
- Flash the pie rom for vince (may not apply for a GSI pie)
- Flash the Gapps (if needed)
it´s all.
Just a tip; be careful with changing system of files at any time so if the process is cutted/interrupted for some reason your device could be seriously damaged.
it does. you just need to flash firmware file first.
I literally got my Mi Pad 4 (lte) today. Initially it had MIUI EU rom installed, but I somehow managed to wipe the system while trying to install Lineage 16, resulting in having no OS. After several hours of struggle, I managed to install MIUI 10 Chinese stock (10.3.2) via MiFlash. However, I cannot go pass the twrp password stage when I use twrp on adb. I tried formatting data a few times, but it didn't work. I tried adb sideload option from twrp to install twrp or any other ROM, but again, the data mounting issue got in the way. I am completely stuck, and I am desperate. I have tried many different versions of twrp available on this forum, but none of them worked. Could anyone possibly help me? Which twrp worked for you? I've tried:
"TWRP-20190104-3.2.3.0-3-clover.img"; "twrp-3.3.1-clover.img" (from unofficial twrp); "recovery-TWRP-3.2.3-0930-XIAOMI_PAD4(PLUS)-CN-wzsx150.img".
Any help would be hugely appreciated! Many thanks!!!
Problem solved! I used the latest version of the Chinese TWRP (by LR Team) which has a function to disable forced encryption. I needed to reboot the tablet a couple of times to achieve it, but eventually the password step on TWRP was gone! Many thanks to LR Team!! I still don't know what (else) I should do when the 'format data' option on TWRP doesn't remove the encryption. .. Anyway, I have now managed to install MIUI 10 EU then Pixel Experience without an issue.
I am still not able to install latest lineage without bootloop see here:
see older xda thread
so this weekend I thought well give it a last try before selling my unlocked H850 on ebay. I want to flash it back on stock rom and do the whole process again - maybe flashing this time a different custom rom(15.1 unofficial).
The problem is it seems stock rom is no longer available.
See here
LG-H85010E-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip -> download speed is very slow and I wasn't able to finish download successfully (always connection errors )
H85010e_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0817.kdz -> get no access to this file (has LG stopped service?)
can be closed solution was first flashing Android 8 stock rom with uppercut (H85030f_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1122.kdz) than flashing custom rom based on Android 9 (lineage-16.0-20200811-X86CPU-h850 - thank you to the author) and than I was able to flash official lineage 17.1 than bootloop was suddenly fixed. Each time after flashing I just did normal wipe (confirming with yes).
official tutorial completly sucks:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h850/install
-> sideload is not necessary and when you come from older Android Version you have to flash Lineage 16 before (no evidence and no image in download section).
