phone boot to factoryOS !!! this is the best: my phone work, no bootloop or other error
i think, the problem is "i am" or the instructions or "what else"
i think, if i do factory-reset the phone low-level format "data" and set inside instructions "test by next boot what system.img is installed" or other test
this test i now 5x do and the way is by all the same.
anyone info i missing to get out of this loop
i hope very powerful: anyone developer write twrp and system(LOS or RR) for this phone !
at the moment i could nail it to the wall / i am very frustrated / a little bit
excuse me for long writing text, i hope the mistake is easier to find

Flash this https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...opment/resurrection-remix-phh-treble-t3767688 ARM 64 A only device @JamesBott

now, lets go, next test :good:

fastboot flash system system-arm64-aonly.img
fastboot reboot
the rest is "the same procedure as test bevor"
this phone (my H9L) not boot in other system.img
by now in nothing else
the problem must inside my phone
or other question : have anyone other system.img in H9L and this work ? H9L with LLD-L31 ? not from india or ..., from EU (European Union)
what is different in my phone than other users ? i don't know it
now is custemOS inside again. different to last rom-install: SU is now outside! only different what i see

For everyone who is interested: I have build my first treble build based on pure AOSP 8.0... As my 6X didn't received EMUI 8.0 already I would be glad if some Honor 9 Lite or P Smart user could try to install and run my build on his device as it is based on P Smart blobs: Install it like a normal treble build. Extract the zip (it isnt flashable zip !), unlock BL, flash system.img via fastboot - boot to stock recovery and perform a factory reset - reboot... if booted up report back and provide some screenshots!

Firstly... Honor 9 lite dont have a/b partition so you have to take the a-Partition images...
Secondly... V9 of the treble image would work (its on android 8.0)...

Hi @felix-development,
that what i reed - sounds very interesting. my next test is your download.

A logcat could help to fix or to see wheres the problem...

@Darkest-Dark
logcat is a good word: how & who i find on end test (stand in eRecovery) the logcat ?
or if i reflash stock: if logcat from last test available ( how & who) ?
i can all do what hav to do with system and recovery. that's no risk. reflash system and/or recovery and stock work!

Hi, TWRP now available. Look https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/development/honor-9-lite-twrp-3-2-1-0-available-t3771358
From now Backup/Restore NO problem

principle question & understand question
all test's NOT work.
last test made with twrp : twrp/install system.img, twrp flash this image with no errors.
now reboot to system : twrp write "no OS is installed .."
i mean, the problem is the differences from Android 7 and 8
i mean : in Android 8 is boot-sequence other as in Android 7
why : i have updated one+ 3T and Sony Z 2, inside LOS 14.1, updated to LOS 15.1, this 2 phones work no with OREO.
i mean, this updates for Android 7 core and i need now LOS 15.1 for installing on Android 8 core.
my knowledge : i am wait on LOS 15.1, written for OREO-Core.
the first version H9L came with factory-Android 7, all LOS 14.1 (RR ...) work on this
my phone is from February 2018 and have factory-OREO on board
with OREO begin a new era
essence : i am to fast with this phone and OREO wait on developer's
but - the factory-OREO work good enough for me (with root) - only : i am LOS-fan since many year :angel:

i am test https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/development/kangvip-rom-emui-8-0-t3775904
for first oreo-developer-rom work good. it is stock-rom with modified menu ( menu / advanced settings).

Cannot update from cyanogen recovery to twrp recovert

Hello,
I am trying to update from the old cyanogen recovery to the TWRP recovery in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3557606
I have enable to write the cyanogen recovery in the developer options.
I have rebooted into flashboot and executed:
----
[email protected]:/tmp/xperia/TWRP# adb reboot bootloader
[email protected]:/tmp/xperia/TWRP# fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-z3c_V02.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (14296 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.572s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.930s]
finished. total time: 1.502s
[email protected]:/tmp/xperia/TWRP# fastboot reboot
rebooting...
----
Unfortunately the system boots in the cyanogen recovery anyhow.
does anyone knows what am I doing wrong ?
Many thanks in advance

There's an app called NDR Utils that lets you choose which recovery to boot to, but I don't know of a clean link where you can get it.
I got it with Nut's Dual Recovery:
http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/XZDualRecovery_2.8.26

I mean you have to unlock your bootloader with:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xhex_unlock_key
(see here)
also you have to erase the old recovery with:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
(claimed in this guide here)
Edit: I forgot you used a CyanogenMod Recovery, which is stored in FOTAkernel,
so you have to use also :
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase FOTAKernel
I did read it here
Hope that does help you

Thanks a lot !

Unable to Flash Recovery (Tried TWRP and Orangefox)

It would seem that for me Flashing the TWRP Recovery (or any other, tried Orangefox too) doesn't work. I would really appreciate some input on this.
Here's some info:
- Redmi 4
- MIUI 10.2 | Stable // 10.2.2.0(MBECNXM)
- Android version 6.0.1
- Android Security Patch level 2018-04-01
- Unlocked the Phone (Successfully)
- Booted into fastboot
- used "fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img" to flash the twrp image (also tried older versions of the twrp image; also tried the orange fox recovery image)
It gives me the following output:
Code:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (36040 KB) OKAY [ 1.002s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.977s]
Finished. Total time: 2.046s
- I proceed to use "fastboot boot twrp.img"
It gives me the following output:
Code:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> fastboot boot twrp.img
Sending 'boot.img' (36040 KB) OKAY [ 1.001s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'dtb not found')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Now unto the errors / things I've tried:
- If I try to just use "fastboot reboot" -> it proceeds to eternally get stuck on the "mi.com" loading screen
- If I try to use the "standard" power off > Power + Vol Up -> The phone boots into the Chinese interface which is not TWRP (yellow big buttons, bottom button is blue) -> I change the language to english, hit "Recovery" and it yet again either stays stuck or boots into Mi 3.0 Recovery
I have tried all TWRP Santoni versions currently officially available on the official TWRP site.
All give me the same error if I try to boot the recovery direclty through fastboot as seen above: "(remote: dtb not found)"
can anyone please help me with this?

Flash latest stock ROM with fastboot first without re locking bootloader, boot into it, and then flash twrp 3.2.3-1 official from fastboot again, and then disconnect the phone and reboot into recovery with vol up + down + power button and ensure that you have downloaded lazyflasher into your phone storage, and after booting twrp, flash lazyflasher, clear cache and reboot system. Done!

1. Starting screen casting/mirroring causes a reboot.
2. The in-built screen recorder also causes a reboot when started.
Dodgy Screen Recorder Fix :laugh:: Download and install the attached apk below, change the quick setting tile to the new one at the bottom of the list, and you should be able to record. (Its the screen recorder app from BlissRom, nothing malicious )
3. Let me know :good:
If you have a major bug to report that has not been reported already, please take the following steps to report it to us. It will save you, Team Resurrection Remix and me quite some time.
Download the MatLog app from the Play Store.
After downloading the MatLog app, go to the app settings, and change the log level to Debug.
Clear all previous logs and take the exact steps to produce the error you are receiving. As soon as you receive the error (probably a force close), go straight into MatLog and stop the log recording.
Copy and paste the entire log either to Hastebin or Pastebin
Save the log, and copy and paste the link into the thread with a brief description of the error.
​

To update to the latest version without wiping:
UPDATING FOR GAPPS/MAGISK USERS
1. Install the images as usual in fastbootd
2. Power off and boot to TWRP
3. Install GAPPS and/or Magisk
4. Reboot, profit.
UPDATING FOR NON GAPPS/Magisk USERS
Skip steps 2. and 3. from above.

Cant figure out which drive i uploaded the old files to at the moment
But heres the 8.6.9 May security patch update.
Not much new, added a KCAL enabled kernel as default, and added a color control app (root needed), fixed face unlock (g power) and added the moto clock widgets.
RR - May Patch - Google Drive
drive.google.com
TWRP zip and fastboot d images, no gapps only. Theres also some flame gapps in the folder too that i use and work well.

Try flashing product instead of system first.

Always appreciate the work you put in! I'm currently running the unofficial Lineage OS build, and I'm waiting to flash something new until an official ROM is released for this phone. Are you working on making any of your ROMs official? I know its a ton of work, but if nobody's planning on making anything official any time soon I may end up switching to one of your unofficial ROMs to get the latest security updates.

Personally, I'm not going to make official builds, but I believe the crdroid Dev is going to try.
Not sure about the other guys/girls.

I am SO HAPPY that resurrection remix has just come out for the Moto G Power. I have been waiting!!! I just saw this today, but I can't seem to get it to work.. As seems to happen when people are trying to root the moto G power.. The touch screen will stop working.. I did get mine to root, using this page:
Messed up trying to root
i know there are other threads on this topic. But after going through them I cant find the fix. I unlocked bootloader and tried to root. Its seems to have worked, but the touchscreen no longer works. I used lmsa to download the stock rom...
forum.xda-developers.com
But I do not know how to apply the same fix after I try to install resurrection remix? I do not have touch screen working after I load.
I am using adb, not sure it twrp is available for moto g power yet, and if that would be the way to get it to work?
I'm using moto g power, sofia variant (usa).. XT2041-4

I tried again and I'm actually getting the following errors:

You aren't in fastbootd. You are in fastboot mode. From the screen you are at in the above screenshot, type fastboot reboot fastboot.
You should reboot to a new screen with fastbootd in red across the top.
Flash the images there.

Awesome! What are the little things? I'll add to the bug list

I'm going for a Degoogled setup and this rom is the first one that worked with microg without hassles. I installed minMicrog standard and Majisk, toggled the baked in signature spoofing, and was up and running in minutes. VERY AWESOME!

Hello ! I would love to try your rom, but when trying to flash boot.img, i got this error : "FAILED (remote: Download is not allowed on locked devices)".
So i realized my bootloader was still locked.
To unlock the bootloader, i have to type "fastboot oem get_unlock_data", but it returns "FAILED (remote: Command not supported in default implementation)".
Do you have any idea how to fix this ?
Thanks

Google 'unlock Motorola bootloader'
You need a code from Motorola.

TX for answering. Thats what i did, and i was reading this official Motorola tutorial to get the code. It asks to type the command "fastboot oem get_unlock_data". So im stuck here for now...
I know this is a bit off topic, but i wonder you managed to do it somehow in order to test your build.

Did you tick the OEM unlock allowed option in developer settings?

How do I get a recovery on my Redmi 9 (lancelot)?

I'm trying to install custom recovery and ROM on my Redmi 9. I've used XiaoMiToolV2 (https://github.com/francescotescari/XiaoMiToolV2) built on my mac to unlock the boot loader.
But I seem to be stuck trying to replace the recovery.
I tried TWRP- this sent me into a boot loop,
so I tried orangefox from here: https://orangefox.download/device/garden which fixed the bootloop, but everytime I go into recovery it shows me the MIUI Recovery tool.
I also tried pitchblack recovery from here: https://pitchblackrecovery.com/lancelot/ which gives me the same problem.... booting into recovery always shows MIUI Recovery tool.
This is the command I've been using to flash the recovery:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then a restart, then:
adb reboot recovery
Am I missing something?

Unlock the bootloader before installing the Twrp.
https://miui.blog/any-devices/mi-unlock-tool-mac-linux/
https://www.xiaomitool.com/MiUnlockTool
Twrp:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=318235
.\fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
.\fastboot boot twrp.img

Yes I have unlocked my device using XiaoMiToolV2, I see a little unlocked padlock when booting my phone now.
I tried downloading twrp from the above url (thanks for that!)
I renamed it to recovery.img then:
[email protected] twrp % fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 3.746s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 1.123s]

Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 3.733s]

So your command to boot the image is incorrect, so I tried some other reboot commands but still when I did the reboot recovery it comes up with MIUIRecovery 5.0.... I should be seeing twrp here right instead?

After flashing TWRP press volume+and power button

MIUI is automatically replacing TWRP with MIUI Recovery. So to fix this after flashing the recovery, you will need to flash the vbmeta image with the flag --disable-verity:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot recovery
This is the vbmeta image: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/vbmeta_redmi9-img.5449805/
Also use this recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-twrp-unofficial-twrp-recovery-3-6-1_11-0.4421301/

Thanks guys!
Sergi, your combination of vbmeta and recovery has worked!
Proper url is here:
[RECOVERY][TWRP][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP recovery 3.6.1_11-0
TWRP recovery 3.6.1 for lancelot (redmi 9 | lancelot/galahad) I am not responsible for your brick devices. The recovery is fully working and has been tested. If you encounter a problem, write here, maybe they will help you. Before you accuse me...
