Thanks for reply,
I had an encryption problem, so I took vendor zip from lineageOS thread.
I did a classic format data, i flashed vendor, RROS per example and gapps.
Do i have to repair a part of my phone with TWRP ?

All the Roms are working after flashing vendor zip and flashing roms.
If we repair a part of the phone with advanced wipe in TWRP we can maybe recover something.
If I go for a stock rom the camera will be active ?

How to flash CM update?

Hi, there is an update available for CM13 and I don't know how to install it. I've heard I need to flash it using a custom recovery (I use TWRP) but do I also need to clear the dalvik and cache? Will this uninstall my apps?
The first thing that you need to do is download latest build and Gapps then for optimal performance wipe everything (caches, system, data).
After that put these files in your sdcard then boot into TWRP and then install it zip as usual.

will that uninstall my apps? What if I don't wipe everything, will I need to still flash gapps?

U can also do a dirty update (apps and data remain).

How do I do that? (P.S. is doing a dirty update dangerous? Like, is there a chance of bricking my device?)

U have to download latest ROM via CM updater and click "apply update" or something like that (my phone is on german so I don't know how it's named on other languages). Then your phone automatically restarts into recovery, performs all the steps automatically and also reboots automatically.
I always do dirty updates and never faced any issues!

I thought we're talking about the official CM 13 The update procedure surely is described in the startpost of your ROM!

No, its just how to install CM13 on Android 5 and how to upgrade from CM12.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...fiicial-cyanogenmod-13-moto-g-t3229272/page56) and the thread is closed so I can't ask him.

I would prefer a clean install (download ROM and GAPPS; reboot into recovery; wipe data, system, cache and dalvik cache; flash ROM and GAPPS; reboot)! On this way u will "lose" your apps but userdata (e. g. photos) is still there!

Do the described above without wiping data (but that could fail). But remember: You're coming from another ROM so wiping data is recommended!

[ROM] MoKee [71.2] OFFICIAL HIMAUL[5-01-17]

Hello Guys i recently i found an official supported rom for hima ul on mokee webiste would like to share it here.The rom is based on android 7.1.2 It is fully stable and can be used as a daily driver
UPDATE: 2017-5-1
Rom has been updated to nougat
Download
IF YOU HAVE STATUS 6 OR 7 ERROR IN TWRP NOTE: open the downloaded rom zip and open the following file located in
x.zip/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
and remove the following line to avoid errors in TWRP
"Assert(hima.verify_sbl1("1.2.50.1.36") == "1");"
happy flashing :good:
I tried this rom and loved it. But after some weeks my phone only show black screen and does not reboot. Don't know if mokee causes the failure. Or if it was a hardware issue. I think the second.
I got a brandnew m9 phone and use another nougat rom.
And yes. Mokee 60.1 is Android 6 and cam works.

MoKee is one great rom,i was using it and it is sooo stable and u can always count on updates regulary,when i get born of sense,i use this rom.
Nice that here on XDA is a mokee thread in m9 section. The rom deserves its own thread.
please share some screenshots of the rom so i can update the thread @dsg2003 @Boskoel03

Same here. I used it some time ago. So I cannot show screenshots.
Give it a try. Make a nandroid backup before, so you can switch back easily, if you don't like mokee.
Advice for you: I had to make changes in updater script before flashing. Without that, twrp gets error by me. Look in Slim7 Rom thread. There is described how to change updater script. You have to delete some words in it.

You have to try. Perhaps you must not change anything.
Some users have to make changes.
The updater-script is located in /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. Look at Slim7 Thread here on xda. There are posting to that.
I did not had to add or remove anything to flash this rom,think it is not for all phone models like that,do some research about it before u post to op...
can anybody share the screenshots of this rom ??
Alright so I tried flashing this ROM without modifying the zip and got the ERROR 7 message. I removed the line mentioned in the first post and still cannot get the ROM to install, same error. Any ideas? My model is himauhl

Error 7 flashing custom rom

Hi all,
I've been trying to get resurrection remix working on my honor 8 for a few days without luck. I've tried following the instructions in the OP as well as flashing update.zip/ update_full_hw_usa.zip and I tired the vendor.zip from the LOS thread.
Every time I try and flash the rom (it also happens if I try the LOS rom) TWRP gives me error 7.. I believe this means incompatible device?
I have been formatting the partition before flashing as well as clearing dalvik cache and factory resetting. My device is the Chinese model (AL10) so I think that's why I'm having issues..
Perhaps I need to flash an international version of Huawei's software first?
Any help appreciated!

Bro u should be in version of emui 5 and flash the twrp openkirin edtion nougat one .
1,Then format data > type yes and reboot again to twrp
2.flash the full rros 600+ mb zip and over it flash rros latest one and done . reboot to system.
If you experience random reboots format the data once.

I'm not currently on that version of twrp - I did try it but without luck - I'll try it again tonight.
I think I have the correct rr zip, it's in the op of the thread and is over 600mb as you say.
Thanks!

Does anyone know if I need to decrypt manually or is this done automatically by flashing?
Sorry I'm not sure what f2fs is..
So I am definitely on openkirin's TWRP 3.1.1-1-frd and I cannot even format or factory reset. When I try to format data I get the message:
mkfs.f2fs -t 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p49 process ended with ERROR: 255
Unable to wipe Data.
Unable to format to remove encryption
When I try and factory reset I get the following:
Failed to mount '/data' (Device or resource busy)
Maybe my issue is encryption?

Yes it was encryption issue , after reboot your encryption will be removed.and you can format the data without any errors
I think I'd corrupted the data partition as its size was shown as 0. After fixing it the ROM flashed! Only thing now is it says no sim.. I'm using a 4g/LTE sim card
I've restored a backup to EMUI and camera doesn't work =/
I've also noticed something interesting; on the back of my phone it says AL10, EMUI about reports it as AL00 but RR rom also has AL10.. I think my version may have something to do with the sim issue? I see a lot of people saying you need to update officially first but mine has none available..

Which model is your device? Not working sims? Chinese one ?

Every ROM results in bootloop

So I have some experience with flashing Custom Roms, but I think I might be doing something wrong with the Mi Mix 3.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed the latest Version of TWRP (twrp-3.3.0-0-perseus), wiped all data and tried to flash Resurrection Remix v7.0.2 via Sideload, but after this resulted a bootloop with the MI logo when trying to boot, I tried to flash the Lineage OS 16, same result. Then I tried to install them as usual. Do you have an idea why this is happening?
Do you have the right vendor image installed? The vendor image for each room is different some use the Chinese one, others are using the global one. Check the room threads. The OP should tell you.

I've tried to use the china dev rom but it won't boot
You may want to use the Xiaomi Mi Flash tool to restore using an image. I'm guessing you have mismatched vendor partitions, which is probably the cause of your issue. You can find instructions in the guides section.

Bootloop in the logo of MI.

Hi. Sorry my bad english. It is not my native language.
I have a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 that was originally Chinese. with miflash install a global ROM, without any problem.
Now and wanted to try the customized ROMs. I have already tested several official and unofficial TWRPs. several tutorials and I could not boot the ROM restarted in the logo of MI.
I've also tried several guides and nothing. the same result install without any problem but not start, just restart and restart.
Can someone give me advice about what I'm doing wrong? In advance thanks for the help.
I will be on the lookout. Greetings.
Welcome to the forum! Your English is fine mate.
Did you do a factory reset in TWRP before you booted?
Hi, thanks for answering.
I've done it in several ways. Format data with yes to avoid encryption problems. then a factory reset. and proceed to install the ROM and nothing. infinite restarts.
I have also tried after this to do another factory reset and install ROM and also formatting everything except the internal unit manually.
What I was thinking is if it has something to do with having Xiaomi's account and has not closed it before.
