Update rooted Honor 6+ to Lollipop

Hi, I have a rooted chinese Honor 6+ on EMUI 3.0 and I'm trying to upgrade it to Lollipop. Reason is I had problems with the phone and I factory reset it (turns out it was the sd card causing all problems) and now I don't see any Motion Control options at all, it's blank.
Also, I wanted to be able to restore and backup on google as currently mine has an option (screenshot attached) but doesn't really work. I lost all my settings when I reset the phone.
Any ideas on how to flash either Lollipop or flash a rom with all the google stuff and motion control settings properly working? Phone is rooted with CWM recovery.
Anyway to fix this ?
More details:
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP on H60-L04. Then I put back the stock recovery (from B521 firmware) and installed firmware B524 which skipped some percentage with faild message quickly and rebooted then the build number is updated and all good except the Motion Control options which are blank. Any way to fix this ?
Now I put back the TWRP. Thank you in advance !

G8142 - Oreo Firmware

Hello to all.
I need to ask here because Sony Forums sucks, so here the people has more knowledge
My phone is:
- G8142
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Android Nougat 7.1.1 installed from Sony Flashtool CE1 Firmware .137
- Kernel and drm patch from Xperifix
- Magisk 16.0
I installed (weeks ago) Android Oreo firmware Generic Lam, CE1 .75 till .145 (this last one not trying with CE1 firmware) downloaded from xperifirm and flash with newflasher v10 and v11, but somehow after flashing firmware, kernel (androplus) TWRP, DRM Patch, magisk, etc is working fine until a few hours (between 6 - 12 hours since boot and connected to network) wifi dropping can't reconnect, data is dead, voice call is dead too is very annoying because i have to restart de phone, tested with all oreo stock firmware to the latest even with locked bootloader had same problems (.75), i thought that unlocking BL was the problem or magisk but for some reason in Nougat i don't have any problems, none, zero. Some people in sony forums have problems with wifi, others with data, other with both, so my question, what would be the problem?
Greeting and Cheers.
You say your phone is Nougat in the bullet points, then say you've installed Oreo in the next paragraph. Which are you on right now?
You also said you're rooted with the DRM patch, then installed Oreo 'generic' firmware. I'd imagine if you are trying to install the stock Oreo firmware from Sony over a rooted and patched Nougat base, that may be causing you the problems if it installs at all.
More complete information might help others give you some advice.

Hi, actually use nougat 7.1.1, but few weeks ago I flashed Sony firmware oreo (with newflasher) since. 75 to. 145 from scratch (no ota) to test adding DRM patch and magisk but all Oreo firmware failed in WiFi, data, voice, so, how Oreo is not for me right now I decide to flash nougat, that's how my question was born, why with Oreo firmware I'm having those problems?

That's my point. If you were already rooted and patched and you tried installing the stock firmware from Sony, that's going to cause you potential problems. Why don't you try flashing the Turbo or Carbon ROMs if you want to try Oreo and keep root?

Oneplus 6 official problem!!!

{PLEASE HELP} after updating to official OTA 10.3.5 on my oneplus 6.. the next day after updating my device keeps restarting itself and wifi stops working and even sim cards not detecting .. my oneplus 6 is full on stock from the date of purchase.. and i didn't do any modification ever to it .. i don't know why this happened to official OTA .. PLEASE HELP THANKS ...
Hi,
May be try a full restoration via factory reset or the best, via MSM tool. You'll be sure to be the cleanest as possible.
You can make a backup of your app and stuff with oneplus migration tool.

PLEASE HELP - Widevine L1 lost on OOS10 - I HAVE original persistent backup

I've updated my phone to OOS 11.0.1.1 - Cause of worse performence and battery live i reverted back to 10.3.8 using the MSM tool.
But on 10 Widevine L1 without root and unlocked bootloader l1 is gone. It comes back when i upgrade to 11?!
Now i do have a backup of my persistent part back from 10 when 11 was not released and i had l1 on 10. My idea is to bring my phone back the exact same setup and flash the persistent backup img... Is this a good idea or is there another reason why l1 is lost on 10 ??

Update... Android 12 can be rooted using Magisk Canary
I was able to take an OTA update to Android 12 on my BL unlocked, rooted, custom kerneled Pixel 3! I started the update accidentally by hitting that pop up reminder and after a minute of thinking what to do (i did not want to lose my data!!!), I held down the power button to force it to reboot during the update. I have had this work to stop an OTA update and restore it perfectly to previous state. Anyway, it did NOT work this time, and it updated to A12 perfectly! No loss of data, no loss of custom kernel, but i did of course lose root. Also.... when i checked the update version in settings, it wanted to update AGAIN, from Oct 21 to Feb 22 (which is just an Emergency Dialer patch). My phone still shows Oct 21 security patch in settings, but shows the Feb 22 firmware (...016.C1), which suggests the patch was only a tiny fix to the 911 Dialer and did not affect anything else. So this time i let it update, which i started to think was stuck or looping after waiting about an hour, but finally i checked the progress and it was done, requesting a reboot! So i rebooted it and behold, its now running final security update to the Pixel 3, and all i need to do now is root with Magisk and install SafetyNet Fix. Which is the ONLY thing i can think of as to how it was able to do a factory OTA update while rooted and BL unlocked! The SafetyNet Fix patch may be so good that it bypasses the Google security measure that refuses to allow OTA updates on rooted, unlocked Pixel 3s. Yup, on a GOOGLE PIXEL! I used to have to unroot and install the factory kernel to do an OTA sideload on my old Essential in order to update and not lose data, but i was told that you could not update to new Android versions without losing your data on the P3, so Ii just figured my Sept 21 A11 firmware was the final update until a phone upgrade. Anyway, just wanted to pass on the good news that you CAN perform a factory OTA update from A11 to A12 on the Pixel 3 WHILE rooted and unlocked and with a custom kernel, but I of course have to recommend you do so on your own, and if anyone has an unused or non-daily driver P3 that want to confirm this good news, please do so and help convince the disbelievers ! The ONLY thing i would recommend is that you have the latest "Android 12" version of SafetyNet Fix installed with the switches on in Magisk, which is what i had. Its the only thing i can think of that would allow Google's Safety Net to bypass the security restrictions. OK then, hope a few of you give it a try to show im not a nutcase, lol.
Question kind of related to this... Was the P3 kernel updated in Android 12 to fix that race condition that causes freezes if using systemless hosts? With A11 I always had to make sure I installed a custom kernel before Magisk and enabling systemless hosts to keep my P3 from freezing.
