[Completed] where to upload roms please?

hello,
I posted about am month ago but the thread is now closed (search for a8-5500-hv) saying I had purchased a lenovo a8-5500-h and wanted to know if there was a way of modding the rom make 3g phone calls as it has 3g data & wifi.
The basic end result was that although no no one had the bits I needed that the H variant was the same hardware with a different rom. This information was from the russian lenovo forum.
Although at the time the rom was not available on the russian site. Two days ago the rom was posted! Along with the other drivers etc needed and some instructions in russian which translate poorly (and in places not at all!) some faffing later I have done it & can confirm it works.
THe original author has given me permission to re-write the instructions in English and to post on this forum if anyone else might want it.
I have it all & would like to know where on this fourm you would like me to upload the various rar files and directions?
thanks guys.

[Completed] Easiest ways to examine and recompile android sepolicy

I'm using Android 6.0.0 on a bunch of Nexus 6 and Nexus 5x phones, but I think this question likely applies to other recent devices and versions of android (including Lollipop). I'm relatively experienced when it comes to selinux in the server world, and am looking for ways to examine and customize my Android selinux policy. Mind you I have no trouble creating and booting custom boot.img files, where I can alter /init.rc and /sepolicy. Hence, my question is what is the best way to decompile /sepolicy (to see what it is doing), and what is the best way to rebuild it.
Some things I've tried that don't work: Existing tools (sedispol, sesearch) on linux distributions that support selinux do not work, because android uses some weird forked v30 policy file format. The standard tools only go up to version 29, and worse there seems to be a competing candidate for v30 that is incompatible. I've also compiled the AOSP selinux tools on regular linux (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/selinux), and those seem to work on standard v29 policy files (such as those from stock fedora), but dispol still cannot seem to examine an android sepolicy file. I get errors like "libsepol.avtab_read_item: more than one specifier".
The final thing I could do is take it on faith that if, say, for my nexus 5x I clone https://android.googlesource.com/device/lge/bullhead, that the contents of the sepolicy directory actually corresponds to what is on my phone. I guess I can live with that since I'll just be replacing the sepolicy file with my own customized version. However, I also can't figure out how to build sepolicy, given again this weird v30 output format required.
So I would appreciate either a pointer to a "howto," or some sort of reference on how to build sepolicy for android, especially those geared towards people who are already use selinux, just don't know how to get the android variants of the tools up and running.

Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Normally I would just give a link to a better place to ask your question but in your case I will give you the link and a tip for finding what you are going to want to know about this since you are asking about this for the purposes of applying it to many devices.
Ok, to make your search simpler. If you are on your PC or on mobile device using a mobile browser(not an android app that lets you view these forums) look in the top right corner of the page and in the "search all forums" search box, in that box type "SELinux (your model number)" or just "SELinux" this will give you threads that pertain to your devices specifically and SELinux, in them you can find most of what you want.
For more help with questions you can post your questions in the forum linked below.

Thanks for the response. I did search for selinux before posting, and couldn't find anything. This is really a general question about building AOSP, so not that appropriate for any specific device forum. I also browsed the forums, and I think more appropriate than the one you suggested is the software hacking forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking), but since I don't have 10 posts I can't post there.

Then you can do a search for XDA University and it will give you everything you want to know about android hacking compiling, porting and building.

Yes sure! But a few years ago an XDA user created a table with a full list of Custom ROMs with its characteristics ..
I was wondering if there was such a thingu pdated so you can see all existing ROM. The idea was to understand and see what are the ROM based on AOSP and which on the other for any devices.

As a senior member on xda, you should know how to use the search tools by now, or at least know an appropriate area to ask for help in.
XDA Assist is here to help new members find their way around, it's not a search tool for senior members. Nor is it a support desk.

Please help me!!!

Note- please read the post carefully to avoid any missing information. Thanks in advance
I am using samsung galaxy j7 2016 and rooted it using magisk. But when i tried to revert to stock after getting bored, it booted up and showed no command screen after flashing and on pressing volume up+ power button, it showed some recovery logs(image attached). Now i dont know where the issue came from. I also wiped efs by mistake but restored it somehow.
Now i decided to flash custom rom to fix this issue. I chose the rom which is flashable version of my stock rom. It booted up normally and showed all the efs info normally. But then i did the most foolish thing, i turned off developer options by mistake which also turned off oem unlock. I rebooted the device for no reason and phones says ' custom binary blocked by frp lock'. I tried to flash stock rom again to fix this issue but it encountered no command error again and i either cant access stock recovery.
Is there any way to unlock oem in download mode and fix no command issue.
I want to recap that i have a phone with inaccessible stock rom, locked oem and no access to recovery except download mode.
Please help me
