I did backup, but how replace oeminfo files with the one for c636, just copy with twrp file manager into oem folder?
Is there any way to check that I did it correctly?

When you do oeminfo backup ,you should have a folder name twrp, inside this folder there is many subfolders.
In last folder there is 2-3 files,those files should be replaced with c636 oeminfo that you have downloaded from first page.
Once replaced, put this folder on ur sd card and boot to twrp recovery than restore it.

[MOD] Double Tap To Wake

Here is the double tap to wake installer. Just install this apk, open it up and move the slider to the right. (It's written in Chinese) Then you will be able to double tap the screen when the screen is off to wake up the phone.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/flr6nvtmi7gaab6/DoubleTapToWake-GEM-703L.apk?dl=0
I have also decompiled the apk and changed everything from Chinese to English. Put this file in your system/app folder and make sure to set the permissions. Then restart your phone. I am integrating it into my KangVIP ROMS later tonight.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fq30aijcf0cqnw5/HWMotionWakeup.apk?dl=0
**If you have erratic screen touches after installing this, it is a problem with some of our phones when enabling double tap to wake. It works well on some and some it doesn't play nice with. If you experience erratic touch screen issues simply open the app and toggle the switch back to the left**

It won't work on your P8 Max as is. I'd have to port it over but I have no time right now. Maybe in the next few weeks I can make a debloated ROM for the P8 Max but I don't own the phone so it's difficult.

In About Phone tell me what the kernel version says and which model of X2 are you using. Also what system are you on (B109, B110)
It looks like this. I have a 702L and now it says B110 after cust update (it said b109 before, I didn't try the double tap then though). I am on KangVIP slim.

I'll send u a flashable universal cust zip that you can try...give me a min. With the cust, you can tell which version of cust your phone is using. Yours says it's a GEM-703L which means you're using the 703L cust which is in cust/dualcu/cn. if you're on the 702L cust it will say you are using a 702L in the model category. If you flash this and it doesnt do anything i'll make you a flashable cust for your 702L only.

Flashed that and no change... Same phone info in settings.
See my cust folder and the stock one I backed up when I was in B003. The dualcu folder was not there in B003... Should I delete my cust and replace it with my stock one?

Your original cust that you backed up in the hw folder is there a seas and spcseas folder in there? In data/cust put the seas folder in there in TWRP so the permissions are correct. If that doesn't work put the spcseas folder in there.

When I go to data/cust, it jumps to cust/dualcu/cn. Should I put the seas folder in there (there is no such folder in there now, see screenshot)?
When you say TWRP, do you mean a plain copy-paste, or is it there another way? How should the permissions look like after copying?

Go to Mount and mount data and cust. Go into Advanced, and File Manager. Delete everything in data/cust. Then go into cust/hw/seas and copy everything from there into data/cust, then reboot. If that doesn't work i'll give you a zip u can just flash that will delete your current cust and replace it with the 702L one.

Sorry, not working... I've tried both with seas and spcseas, both from trwp and with solid Explorer, both with permissions -rwxr-xr-x and -rw-r--r-- (folders always drwxr-xr-x)
Do you need my cust folder to make the flashable, or do you have a standard stock that you think will work?
Man, thank you for helping, I start feeling this is too much asking...

Well, it is working now... I installed B111 and cust B111 and I got into bootloops, so I restored my nandroid backup B109. Now the app is working (although phone info says B111).
So it is weird, something with my cust doesn't really want to work...

I also tried this location in external sd card:

I hope I am quite clear in what I have done so far. I am using TWRP (v2.8.7.0) to do this work.

Mate 8 error flashing TWRP, plz help

Hi,
Today I just started rooting my mate 8,
Everything worked fine as I was able to easily unlock the boot loader free ,but when it came to flash twrp.img file in cmd it started showing errors, I downloaded almost 5 6 img files but nothing is going on, it shows 'cannot load twrp.img file', :/ I hv spent like almost 2 hours flashing nd searching for answer but their is no thread with suitable answer, many people have this problem, Plz help.
u either have to put the twrp image file into the same directory as your ADB/fastboot installation or navigate to the respective folder location via the recovery flash command

I hv download the trwp black and blue image file, now when I click to extract it in winzip or winrar, itsay the archive is either of unknown format or dAmaged.
Edit: So today after some hardwork I was able to flash the twrp.img file, then I format my device through it, everything worked fine, but when the home screen appeared it was very simple and sort of very 'BASIC', I went to 'THEMES' icon on my mate 8 but their were no themes like Mocha etc, what should I do now? I want my old themes back, is their any way?

Edit: So today after some hardwork I was able to flash the twrp.img file, then I format my device through it, everything worked fine, but when the home screen appeared it was very simple and sort of very 'BASIC', I went to 'THEMES' icon on my mate 8 but their were no themes like Mocha etc, what should I do now? I want my old themes back, is their any way?

I'm rooted, phone is trying to update from 8.0.0.369 to 8.0.0.373 and it just...

It ends up in recovery mode so I just turn it off and boot up again and it says update failed. I realize it will lose root so I'll have to reroot but will it lock the bootloader again also? I'm just tired of seeing it everyday want to update so figured I'd let it do it but it does't seem to work. Is there a manual update file somewhere? I googled but I can't find it. Should I find the complete rom and re-install the newest version?

Bootloader will stay unlocked. If it's an OTA it's trying to install it will fail IF it wants to patch ramdisk as you're rooted.
You can restore stock ramdisk and it should update correctly, but I'd use FullOTA instead for best compatibility.
You can install FullOTA either using HWOTA or installing TWRP (by Pretoriano80 as it has decryption support) and use HuRUpdater script to update.

I have TWRP 3.2.1-0 since I installed Oreo. Is the full ota downloaded into my phone somewhere since it seems to download it fine then I can install it with TWRP? Or do I need to find it online somewhere. Since it ends up in TWRP after trying to install if it was someplace I can find then maybe I can just install whie in TWRP. I'll google for HuRpdater script or is it on here somewhere? I just googled but nothing came up.

Updates go to /data/update/
But you can download it from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ (download update.zip, public zip and data zip for your firmware. You can click the File list link after you have searched to find the public and hw data)
And HuRUpdater is found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
TWRP can't install huawei update.zips by default, so you'd have to download firmware then use HuRUpdater to flash it.

I found the files where you said, thanks. update_data_public.zip, update_MHA_L29_hw_usa.zip, and update.zip
When I read the instuction it calls for 3 files 2 of which are already spelled out correctly but looks like I need to rename the MHA file to update_all_hw.zip is this correct?
It also says to put the recovery image in the same folder if I want to keep custom recovery so sounds like it will wipe it if I don't. I'll have to download twrp 3.2.1-0 again
Ok this is interesting, I have 2 files in data with 6 digit names 151465 and 161808 and both have the 3 files but they are of different sizes but the exact same names as I mentioned before. Maybe better to go to the website you mentioned or I'll screw something up with them.
Figured out how to open the file list and can see the 3 files now so I'll get all 3. Update.zip is 2gb is that right? It's gonna take like 5 hours it says.

When I click on the "update" hyperlink it just opens a new page and doesn't seem to start downloading. Maybe I need to do something else?

Rename the zip with HW in its name to update_all_hw.zip and Public to update_data_public.zip.
If recovery.img is present in the same dir as guru it will flash it back to recovery_ramdisk after update is flashed. It's to save a step so you don't have to reboot to fastboot to flash it again.
/data/update includes old/partial downloads too. So if you for example have used eRecovery before to download, but cancelled it, the update is still there. Same goes for system update. I would rather use firmware finder/teammt because you know those are completed zips.
On the site you can click on file list to show links to downloads, the update link rarely works anymore. It just parses data from hicloud but for some reason the update link always points to front page (or to search results if you have searched).
So just copy paste the update, public and Hw l29 links into a new tab to download.

That's correct.
It's going to erase everything isn't it? Rename the TWRP to "recovery" right? Since it's already a .img file I imagine I don't need to add ".img" right?

Updating doesn't wipe. And HuRUpdater will tell you if it should wipe, it will also tell you if it will lock bootloader.
Yes, if you don't have "show extentions" turned on in Windows just rename it to recovery.

It didn't erase anything woooo hoooo. Thank you. I did loose root which will be easy to put back on. At the end if installing everything automatically there were 2 buttons on the bottom. One was erase cache/dalvik I think and the other was reboot so I just rebooted to be safe. Figured if it was buggy I could always go back and erase the cache/delvik but looks fine. Just checked and my TWRP is there so all is good

Restore Onplus Switch Backup

hi!
i did a full Backup with Oneplus Switch on my old official ROM. When i open the folder on my computer it is structured like this:
.Preview
App
Data
OPLauncher
.nomedia
so after i unblocked bootloader, flashed rom and have rooted the phone i downlaoded the Oneplus Switch app from Appstore. When i open it, i can pretty much only scan a QR code with i dont have other possibilities.
Can you please tell me how i can restore my "Switch" backup.

Hey, You have to copy the op backup to the computer. Root your phone then copy the file op file to your internal storage. Download oneplus switch then open it and click backup/restore in the bottom left. If you've done the other steps correctly then the file should be there ready to restore.
