[ROM] CyanogenMod - No, you can't have a pony (STABLE) [UPDATED 03/04 - v4.2.15.1]

Now that the dust has settled, it's time for a new CM build..
This is a heavily modified version of AOSP 1.6 without the proprietary bits (which will back up your proprietary bits and restore them after installing the ROM). In order to get up and running the first time, you'll need to follow some simple instructions. A great set of documentation has been put together by the community at the CyanogenMod Wiki. Everything you need to know is there!
But first..
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
The Android devices we own come with many files that can't be redistributed legally, and as you all probably know, I can no longer include these with my ROMs. So, in order to get up and running, you'll need a compatible device with a compatible ROM.

CHANGELOG IS NOW HERE!

So let me get this strait for the noobs...
edit: revised my steps since I learned that what HTC refers to as a "recovery image" is different than what we do so that caused a LOT of confusion for me and i'm sure it did to a lot of other people! On the HTC website the recovery image is the same as an update.zip so basically it's just an update you need to apply that's all.
Here's my step by step process that I used going from CM 4.1.11.1 to 4.1.99
I have CMRecovery Image 1.4
-Go to http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
-DL the 1.6 "recovery image" the file name is - signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
-Then DL CyanogenMod-4.1.99
http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/expe....99-signed.zip
-put them both on your SD card
-Boot up into CM recovery image 1.4 by rebooting and holding the home button, do a wipe.
-update using any zip to that "recovery image" (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)
(it should auto reboot install radio then reboot again and load back up to the CMrecovery img screen)
-Then update any zip usig CyanogenMod-4.1.99 (update-cm-4.1.99-signed.zip)
-Then power on the phone
-Very simple! the rom is running great so far and I'm glad that's it's going to be even easier to update to future CM updates using CM updater

Just to make sure, if you have 4.1.11.1 do you have to flash the ADP rom then the new rom, or can you just go from 4.1.11.1 to 4.1.99?

Nice to see you back! Flashed and running just fine, no problems yet!

Meh, I always hate flashing the radio. But what's necessary is necessary I guess. I suppose it's possible to simply copy the required files over and resign?

He didn't say anything about flashing the radio again, just the recovery image

You can actually just use fastboot to flash the system.img from HTC first also.

First off good to see you back!!! Nice to see that it was user friendly to flash this as well. Hope to see 4.2 out soon cause this rom is pretty stable so far. No home screen loads as of yet. Great work!

The "Recovery Image" is just how HTC refers to their update.zip format of the installer. It does include a radio image.

Great, but I totally don't understand what I'm supposed do to run this?

The backup/restore process is automatic and built into my ROM's installer. If it detects that you have a compatible base image, it will backup/restore the necessary files.

I just want to make sure I'm 100% clear - the ION image is what I should do for my 32B, right?
Also - won't it nuke the custom recovery environment?

Ahh ok little confusing thanks for clearing that up

Has anyone with a MyTouch3G been able to install the ROM?
I downloaded the HTC ION ROM and checked the MD5, so far so good. I copied it over to the SD card, renamed it update.zip, and tried to install it in recovery mode. However, I get the following error:
getprop("ro.build.product") == "sapphire"
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Will you be including Advanced Launcher in future builds?

Download the "1.6 Recovery Image" from HTC, flash it. it will also flash you radio
Reboot back into recovery. Then flash my ROM.

here was my process:
- Start from Cyanogen 4.1.11.1
- Flash ADP stock "recovery" zip
- Radio flashes, phone asks for reboot
- Phone automatically reboots to recovery (still CM 1.4 recovery), flash Cyanogen 4.1.99
- Reboot without a wipe
- Google apps exit right after start (Market, Gmail)
- Reboot, wipe
- Perfection
So do a wipe when coming from CM 4.1.11.1. Then again, I forgot to fix_permissions...

DOWNLOADS:

PROCEDURE:
WARNING:
DO NOT INSTALL THE APK PROVIDED. SOME PEOPLE REPORTED MISSING BASEBAND AND IMEI.
MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU PROCEED. DON'T BLAME ME IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG, YO :/
1. Use any File Manager which can do root tasks and go to this location :
Code:
/vendor/app/ims/
and rename the current/original ims.apk to ims.apk.bak or just move the original ims.apk to a different directory, for example, your sd card.
2. Paste the new ims.apk in this location ( /vendor/app/ims/ ) and make sure it has -rw -r -r permissions (0644).
3. Reboot.
Hopefully, now you might have got rid of that annoying notification, yo.

I can't download the file it says: Oops! Sorry, you do not have permission to access this page. Any other working link?

No Permission
Give another link to that file.

Update
So guys you'll no longer see the `Device is HD Capable` Notification on any of the custom ROMs for athene as this new commit has been pushed to the muppets git (where all our vendor blobs are stored), so if you don't see the Device is HD Capable Notification, doesn't necessarily mean that VoLTE isn't working on your device.

Credits:
All the credits go to user gaguga and the people from the 4PDA. The contents of this guide are not my work - I merely translated it.
Requirements:
1. For this method to work you first need to unlock the bootloader or at least obtain the unlock code. That is explained in threads Unlock bootloader HONOR 9 and [Guide] How to get Bootloader unlock Code easily through Chinese site.
2. Owners of non-Chinese models have to disable FRP. Read about what that is and how to disable it here.
3. Enable the USB debugging mode in the Developer options.
MOD EDIT: Updated HWOTA found here thanks to @gaguga
Steps:
1. Download the file HWOTA.zip and unpack it to the root of your system. For instructions in English instead of Russian replace the hwota.sh file with this one.
2. Make a backup of all the important files since all the data will be erased during the process (consider this as a warning!).
3. Check if the USB debugging is enabled and the FRP disabled.
4. Download the three zip-archives from here if you wish to flash the EU version of ROM. Otherwise download the files of the desired region using Firmware Finder.
5. Move the downloaded files to folder "HWOTA\Update" and rename them in this way:
- update_data_full_public .zip to update_data_public .zip
- update_full _... .zip to update_all_hw .zip
- update.zip remains as is
6. Launch the file named update.bat which is located in the folder HWOTA and follow the instructions.
7. As a mode of update first choose the Rebrand option, then go to the Recovery and wipe all the data (including internal storage). If you only want to update the firmware to the newest version you can skip this step and go directly to the next one.
8. Run the batch file again and select Change the firmware option this time.
9. If you experience bootloops after flashing go to the Recovery and perform a factory reset (including wiping internal storage) then flash the firmware again.

Reserved.

I have updated my L09 phone through DNS from FF
So far everything is working fine
I've seen that my battery is much improved

Nice guide. I'm just wondering, if I have the STF-AL10 model (6gb ram/64GB), could I flash to the STF-L09 firmware? From what I've seen, the European firmware is 4gb ram, so the hardware is slightly different to my Chinese 6gb variant.

You can, that's the whole point of rebranding.

One more question, does it cover every variant of honor 9?! Or there's a variant which can't be rebranded

EDIT: Have you tried to select "cancel" when you get into twrp?
You can get past of decryption by selecting "cancel".
You need to format your internal storage, then flash that .zip from usb-otg usbstick.
FYI: I got my phone screwed once, I just flashed stock firmware with sp_flash_tool and it formatted storage for me.

[DISCONTINUED][UNOFFICIAL][RECOVERY] [UNOFFICIAL] TWRP Treble for Lenovo K8 Plus

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices. It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and back up the current system, functions often unsupported by stock recovery images. It is, therefore, often installed when rooting Android devices, although it isn't dependent on a device being rooted to be installed.
