[Z2Pro] Zui 2.5.462 OTA (Nougat) full rom+firmware update (Magisk+Xposed work !) - Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth

Hi !
This is a backup of the latest OTA of ZUI by Zuk/Lenovo, already configured in english, chineses apps uninstalled, and playstore/google services installed.
Magisk root and unofficial Xposed-Magisk for Nougat work on this rom !
(I've tested Youtube Adaway, Youtube background, Lucky Patcher, Adblocker reborn, it's working well)
Your not need to do a wipe, and you can keep your data if you come to 2.5.435 ZUI rom ! But you have obligation to install boot & firmware, because latest OTA by zuk upgrade both !
[Quick Charge is disabled by default when the screen is on, look the screen capture, it's normal, this is a new setting come with this latest OTA, you can change that on developper settings ! ]

The ROM is flashable with TWRP ? If I come from custom ROM (AEX) I'll need to do a full wipe or I'll need to flash via a PC ?

Is there any chance of multilanguage for this rom?

No, you don't, when you restore this backup like another rom backup, it erase needed partitions

I don't know how to merge XML translation into rom, sorry.

After receiving OTA update to 462 ST, SOT is reduced to 4 hours of moderate usage (usually 5-6 hours).. Phone temperature is a bit warmer, standby temp usally 27 C, now is 32 C, charging temp is around 37 C.. It's a thin phone, you can feel when the temperature is going up..

Is the OTA update works in this rom? In System Update app I have info: "Your system has been root, we are unable to provide the latest version of the system"

ZUI OTA doesn't support unlocked bootloader, rooted or not the phone just shows this message when the bootloader is unlocked...

Hello, someone has already gained some experience about this Rom, is there anything you should know? Thank you

Anyone can help making this rom multilanguage?

Is francko76 the only one who can help us, or can anyone ask the creator of AEX?

how exactly do I install this? after many attempts I managed to get it, thanks for this
2nd edit: does the 5ghz WiFi work on this rom?

If you're asking his to install this I made a backup of my current stock rom, and then looked in my files for the name of the backup that I made and put the twrp files folder in the same folder that the backup was in, after that just go to twrp and select restore and select twrp files as your restore
Edit 1: so apperantly I can make calls and receive them but I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me
Any ideas as to what I should try?

we can add any languag by morelocal2 app
in play store

How do you install this backup? with TWRP?
We have to put the file in specific directory?

I used your backup to switch successfully from aex 4.5 to stock. Thank you very much.
@tikilou i would like to know how you backed up stock recovery since we restore it with TWRP

You just have to put the files in your twrp backup folder. Make a backup yourself in order for the folder to be created and then with a file manager replace your files with the files of this backup. After that just restore it with twrp

Need help, Rooted the phone, via twrp, but I wanted to revert back to stock recovery, I try to flash stock recovery with fastboot, then unroot the phone.
Then I try to go to recovery mode, and got to rescue mode.
Turn off phone, and reboot, and start just as I had it with my apps and everything.
But no stock recovery Need your help guys, what sould I do?
Edit: I managed to reinstall TWRP
In future updates, do I have to reinstall stock ? Or TWRP works like stock recovery for updates?
I erase some system apps google, hangouts, etc
Can I factory reset with TWRP, and configure the phone again, or do I need to flash firmware on stock recovery?
Is there a flashable zip for TWRP to downgrade or update firmware?
Sorry for my bad english, noob here!

Backing up stock rom before flashing another

Hi
I have been following the thread for the linage os in the View 10 forum.
Several people have reported it working on Honor 9 Lite which is treble compatible, before I try it out however I wanted to be sure I could go back to my current rom which is the official LLD-L31 for the UK honor 9 lite.
My current build number is LLD-L31 8.0.0.121(C432)
What options do I have to restore if I don't like the rom I flash?
So far I have managed to pull the System & ODM folders to my pc. all except the Vendor file due to a permissions error.
Is this enough? Can I simply push these folders back? and at which point do I attempt the push? When booted/in recovery etc?
Otherwise, Is there an official or unofficial Huawei/Honor restore tool? or maybe a full rom I can flash? HiSuite says it has this function, but my device isn't listed.
Sorry for all the questions, it's been a while since I flashed a rom & it was always via TWRP I understand treble roms are flashed via the stock recovery though

I have the same model and have also been following the thread. My understanding, and hopefully someone will correct if wrong, is that with project treble GSI you're only overwriting, via fastboot, system.img partition, therefore if you want to return to your original I suspect you can do the same thing again and fastboot original.img with a factory reset.
There is a utility called huawei firmware finder which allows you to look for firmware. I tried it but can only find the LLD-AL10 8.0.0.100(C675CUSTC675D4) which i think is for the 4/64GB veresion or may even be for the huawei P smart. Until honor make the firmware available not sure what other options exist.
BTW it would help if you report back with any success/failures if you try it. Also interested in what this version Lineage OS is missing/not working, I think the camera still has some issues last i checked the thread.

Thanks for the reply, I suspected that's how it worked, just flash back the original system image.
I think I'm gonna hang fire for the time being until I know I have the correct firmware to go back if needed, hopefully the camera will be sorted by then too.

When you unlocked your bootloader and before you overwrote your system partition you should have taken a backup of your stock system partition so you can restore it. Honor has not made the firmware available yet as far as I know.

Just in case I decide to try this, how do I get a flashable file?
I pulled the contents of system + odm via ADB but just ended up with 2.3GB of folders.
Can I convert this to a flashable .img file? Or should I have done this another way?

found description for how to do it for v10 on another site:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img
this implies root is required so I guess you would:
1. unlock bootloader
2. load TWRP.
3. load root (su).
4. reboot back into TWRP and save system.img.
However, you make it work you need to make sure system.img is saved before any changes are made.

I was thinking about this today & came to the same conclusion.
The idea is to pull a clean unmodified system image, but the only way to do that is by using root privileges SU, then via TWRP - Does that not make it a modified image?
Maybe I'm thinking about it too much:silly:
What Root method & TWRP versions have Honor 9 Lite users had success with? I'm keen to give this a go

Not TWRP as that is the recovery partition (recovery.img) not the system partition (system. Img). Not sure about root though as i believe that does add stuff in one, or more, of the system sub folders, maybe someone else can confirm, but if you're using superuser then unzipping that should tell you what's being added and where. However, if you think about it, this has always been a bit of an issue with any android. You cannot take a nandroid backup without some kind of custom recovery so how can you ever take a snapshot of the stock rom. Specialised tools can do it as they can dump the entire rom but how can any android be dumped in full straight out of the box without first changing something.?
You could try this:

but it never really worked properly for me.

Back to stock after Rebrand and Treble ROM Installation

Hey,
I recently rebranded my VTR-L29C185 to VTR-L29C432. After that, I installed the latest Project Treble Resurrection Remix ROM from phh. The device is rooted, bootloader and frp unlocked, and has TWRP 3.2.1 FromFuture (the one for Treble roms) installed.
I made a full backup with TWRP 3.2.1-0 for stock EMUI 8.0 before the rebrand process.
My question is how do I go back to stock but keep the rebranding ? Do I just need to restore the backup without its OEMInfo via TWRP ? Search a VTR-L29C432 ROM and flash it through fastboot ?
The reason I want to go back to stock is mainly because of the many camera functions you cannot use on these roms even after installing the Huawei Camera (or the Google Camera for Kirin, which I recommend for users of these roms) and because of a few freezes and graphical glitches. Apart from that it's a very smooth and stable experience and I didn't face any big issue (gapps and root are working).
I would really appreciate your help. Thank you !
Anyone ?
should be fine to restore just the system image, because treble roms are just system partitions.

I did it, I'm on stock again now, but strangely it shows me there's an update with the same version as installed. If I try to run the update it reboots to try to install the update (logically) but with the fact I have TWRP installed it doesn't do so.
I also noticed the designs I download (which worked before on stock) do not apply. What does this mean ?
Thanks

Please follow the steps as in first post.
You should have TWRP along with Stock rom which you have I believe.
Download the 3 files mentioned in first post - ROM + Decrypt + Magisk and keep them in storage.
Reboot to TWRP and flash files in below seqeunce -
Stock_X00T_Patch_May_Version_309_TWRP.zip
decrypt.zip
Magisk-v16.0.zip
Do not wipe anything in TWRP before or after installation .. do not uninstall Magisk or anything else.
Just flash the files are reboot.
Other than the changes to the update script, are there any other changes you have done? The script output in twrp says 'patching system image that is modified by ....."
So I am wondering if you made changes to the system.img file too?

No changes .. it is just for testing .. I have not created the entire ROM so I mentioned this is Guide section and not the ROM development section.
Also the new file I have updated has no such message but just a message to identify the ROM change. You must have the old version which was there on Sunday.

I downloaded last night only. About 24 hrs ago. I am referring to the first line In the script. See the SS
Also who made the new zip? I am interested in finding out what changes are being made if any other than the updater script.

New zip name - Stock_X00T_Patch_May_Version_309_TWRP.zip
As already mentioned, the message was put just to let me know if the flashed file is changed one or original one from Asus.
I am taking Asus original rom and doing modification in update-script and if needed will make changes to boot.img (replacing with old boot image from Asus) and any other file to keep Magisk+TWRP to be working after update. I test the update for some time and then share it with all.
I will mention any substantial changes if any (for v309 no changes are there).
I have no intention to change what Asus has provided.
Purpose is to provide stock tested firmware for easy update at one stop .. and an easy way for people to come back to stock ROM.

You will get update notifications .. no issue. But the update will not flash if you have TWRP and Magisk.
I will provide TWRP flashable file (after testing) in this thead in future. So expect the update within 48 hrs after new update (full ROM for the OTA) is relased by Asus.
To flash OTA there is an excellant guide HERE you can follow that to flash OTA (i.e. delta file). In this thread you can get full file.

[ROM] PikaOS 1.0 BETA (Samsung a3 2017 exynos variant only)

AT THE MOMENT THE ROM IS CORRUPTED.
I AM TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR THE “FL” VARIANT ONLY.
This is pikaOS!
A brand new rom based on lineageOS 19.1.
WHAT IS PIKAOS?
PikaOS is a rom based on lineageOS 19.1. It includes tweaks that can save battery, more performance in games, and more.
it also includes stuff from the google pixels.
In the future it will get more unique features. For now its just the pickachu background.
REQUIREMENTS
Vendor partition must be present.
This is for the exynos variant of the a3 only.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP FILE! THIS IS A BACKUP MADE WITH SHRP.
1: Download the zip file (Its about 2.7gb)
2: Move the folder named “Place me inside ur internal storage!” in ur internal storage.
3: Go to restore and select the backup.
4: Click on the backup and RESTORE ALL PARTITONS. (This will replace ur current recovery with SHRP recovery. U can flash any other recovery after this.)
5. Click the restore button and let it do its job.
6. Reboot into recovery
7. Confirm that the SHRP Recovery is working.
8. (Optional) Flash ur recovery of choice.
9. Reboot into PikaOS
10. Enjoy!
HOW DO I UPDATE?
As of now, u will have to restore a backup to "Update". So make sure u will have a backup via google one by installing gapps.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The phone is bootlooping! What do i do!?
Confirm that ur using the right variant of the device. Its for the exynos a3 2017 only.
When i restore the backup, it gives me error 255.
Format ur internal storage.
Can not install the vendor image.
Make sure u have created the vendor partition.
BUGS
Most bugs are from the lineageOS rom for this device.

all it does is kill the phone, the phone's IMEI has been deleted and the phone's IMEI cannot be flashed because the folder is gone, the motherboard needs to be changed. it can't make calls at all. It's now a mini tablet with a small screen.
