Hey all,
I love stock android! So when i read about OpenKirin I was excited. Did anyone use this to install LineageOS on our mate9 successful? What are your experiences?
I have another question as well: I changed my model to the MHA-L29, rooted with a custom recovery.
OpenKirin says it needs to have the stock one. Does anyone have a link to the stock MHA-L29 recovery and a guide on how to install it?

First off, this thread probably belongs in Q/A.
Moving on:
I've run all 3 provided ROMs, Carbon as my daily driver and Lineage and RR for testing various things. They all work pretty well.
For stock recovery & ramdisk, download your current firmware (or if you've run other Treble ROMs as well, the version that corresponds to your current build number in Settings / System / About Phone) using Firmware Finder - you only need the main update.zip for this. You'll also need one of the utilities for extracting them. There's Huawei Update Extractor (I think that's what it's called anyway) for Windows, or https://github.com/marcominetti/split_updata.pl for Linux / Mac. Extract the ramdisk and recovery ramdisk images and there you go.
Installing those is a matter of rebooting into the bootloader and running:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
(The name for recovery_ramdisk.img may vary a bit - the windows app will extract it as RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img.)
From there, just follow their instructions. If you have any problems, hit up the Telegram chat linked off the site, someone will be willing to help.
@irony_delerium, thank you very much. That sounds like something even I can do without too much problems
How do you like it, being on LineageOS?

Like I said in my original reply, my daily driver is Carbon; the Lineage builds I've only run briefly because NFC wasn't enabled, but the CarbonROM builds there have it. I use Google Pay every day, so it's kind of a requirement for me.
With that said, the only thing that's got issues for me is the camera app, and most of the blame for that is with Huawei. It generally works, but it'll close & restart often when switching modes or trying to start a recording.
I know there are various other minor issues with recording video in all 3, again because Huawei. (They put together bum codecs, and then patched the system side of the EMUI media stack to deal with the bum codecs, instead of fixing the codecs.)
Also worthy of mention (especially because I see people asking about this all the time): there is no VoLTE support. The devs are aware of it. Unless you're on a network that is pure LTE, it's mostly a non-issue. If you are, it's probably a deal breaker.
Getting on from there, they're all clean Android experiences, without the overbearing weight of EMUI. They don't try to pull some of the things EMUI did - the final breaking point for me was when it insisted on terminating apps in the background regardless of how much you might actually be using them. (In my case, AdGuard as a VPN service.)

Some comments before, Huawei Firmware Extractor. Extract system.img from the stock rom you used before flash Lineage.
Flash stock system.img in fastboot.
I have downloaded and tried to extract 4 roms but The Extractor tool is Giving error.
Its Giving invalid Hearder crc error.

Go to settings in the app and disable CRC checking. (Bug in the app.)
I was on OldDroid's OpenKirin, but today switched to Carbon Beta 2 from https://openkirin.net/download/. This installed without problems and I did a hard reset as part of installation. The earlier version worked very well, except there were a few bugs. I haven't found any bugs in this ROM yet.
Random question: Does anyone know if it's safe to go from one build to another directly? I'm trying Lineage but would like to give Resurrection Remix a go. The instructions say that you should be coming from EMUI...
Thanks

It's fine to go between them, provided you reload the stock ramdisk (if you installed Magisk) & factory reset before booting into the new ROM.

You can switch between the Custom Roms. I always do. Backup your data on the data partition via USB to PC, go to TWRP do a factory reset and then install the new image via fastboot. Reboot and rejoice

TWRP only works right on a Huawei device if you're either decrypted or running EMUI. (On a custom ROM, with an encrypted device, TWRP doesn't even start up - it locks up at the splash screen.)
Factory reset using stock recovery. Only using stock recovery. The OpenKirin team will not support any other configuration.
yes you are right. but there is still the possibility to do these things with a patched TWRP. I use this for my Mate 9 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h50RJ6LNNSEVW9CS16C0NjeP7ZZNTECE/view?usp=sharing

And the reason why I say anything is because the 2 most common problems I see are:
1) "I'm on Jio, where's my VoLTE?"
2) "I used TWRP and (it's not working | I screwed up | it's broken)".
The response to the first is universally, go back to stock.
The second, restore your entire stock firmware and then follow the instructions exactly as they are written.
With root, you can back up your apps with Titanium. I haven't had good luck with backing up settings with Titanium and after attempting to restore settings, I usually wind up wasting an hour or two and then factory-resetting and just reinstalling the apps. Now I don't even bother backing up settings, but just back up my apps. Even then two or three seem to be botched but uninstalling/reinstalling those will fix that problem. (It isn't always the same ones, either; not sure what causes this). This approach avoids the pain of configuring apps, e.g. travel app usernames and passwords, as well as preserving messages and the like. The biggest nuisance for me is that I carry around 40 unread Amazon books, which have to be sent to the phone (and I'm not so good at remembering which ones I've already read out of the more than 500 in my account), and I carry a bunch of google offline maps, which have to be manually recreated. Lastpass helps with login information too.
In my most recent (Carbon B2) install, I didn't bother with the backup but installed everything fresh and I had a fully functioning phone with 99% of the configuration I like within 2 hours, since I'd been pretty careful to put all the passwords and so on for my roughly 80 apps into a secured text file, as well as backing up my Nova launcher settings.

Restore your stock ramdisk and recovery partitions. (I'd actually start with a full restore to stock firmware first: get your vendor patches in order. 8.0.0.369 is available for most phones on c567, 370 might be available.)
Factory reset using stock recovery. Flash with fastboot. Magisk for root & SafetyNet.

No Nougat modem is available until the flashable (non OTA) full stock 7.0 rom is made available from Motorola. This is not likely to happen. No issues have been mentioned running this update on a 6.0 modem. Not sure what the advantages are honestly. I never had problems with bt, wifi, or calls with the 6.0 modem firmware.
Create a backup beforehand and you can always go back to it.

I have NOT tried the OP's method or the referenced thread - so I cannot really speak from experience ; just pointing out other resources that have additional information -
Will this work with XT1572? Just confirming.
This is not a traditional TWRP zip file. It is a backup file. You need to unzip it and put it in the backup directory. You then restore backup, choose the nph25-200-22. . . directory, and away you go!

Well it worked, sort of. It booted to stock but it wasn't stable and the play store kept crashing, I tried all the usual stuff for that, clear services & play store data, uninstall updates, finally tried a factory reset and now I'm stuck in TWRP bootloop, even if I reinstall this image.
So very much YMMV.

Hi guys
I was trying some of custom rom on my OP6 and I wanted to go back to Oxygen OS. So i did a clean installation with system wipe and i flashed the last full OTA update. But since i can't boot to system anymore, TWRP always displays that there is no OS installed despite the fact that I've tried several rom . Is this the first time it's done this to me how can I fix it?

The best suggestion I can give you is to flash stock oos with TWRP, reboot to stock recovery, without flashing anything else, wipe data from stock recovery and startup system.. if it is working you can flash back TWRP and magisk if you need it
Just be careful because at your point is easy to lose all of your stored data

If you wipe system, then flash oos ROM, TWRP will think there is no os. You can just ignore and boot.
Wiping system then flashing any time will make twrp display "no os installed" it does this because it hasn't created files for twrp to check if you have a ton installed. Flashing twrp then rebooting to twrp fixes it.
Reboot to stock recovery?

Hi, need a little bit of support, since I'm new to this as well. I was in a working OOS open beta 25/28, but then I think I flashed the wrong zip (OOS 9.0.9?), and I was not able to boot to system. It kept going to "bootloader unlocked" screen and custom recovery. Currently in TWRP blu_spark 3.3.1-x v. 9.109, and it's showing me no OS installed when I attempt to reboot. I haven't rebooted to system yet.
All the folders in my /sdcard is gibberish... if I try to push a file to it, it says "Required key not available." I did remove all security/passwords from my phone before doing any updates/backups.
I completed a wipe cache/dalvik/system via TWRP, and flashed the OOS OTA stable Android 10 zip downloaded directly from OnePlus Support. Considering this situation, do you still think it's safe for me to reboot to system? Then how do I get to stock recovery from there--is that by holding down the buttons?

No, your internal storage Is like trash cause the last rom you flashed has older security patch than oos10. Your device Is now encrypted and wont boot to system. I Guess you have to erase all via MSN tool or fastboot signed rom. Even if you wiped what mentioned above, your problem still be the data.
Fastboot method?

Thank you for replying. I'm relieved that you know of a couple methods to try.
Is using "Format Data" in TWRP an option for dealing with the encryption??
For the MSN tool, can I use this one? Tried looking around, but it's unclear. "[TOOL] MsmDownloadTool V4.0 International (Oxygen OS 5.1.5)" https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...wnloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892/page10
I would be more comfortable with using fastboot, but am I at any risk of having lost fastboot, or can I just turn off my device from TWRP right now and hold down the buttons to get there? Afraid to move out of TWRP right now, in case I can't get back. I do have twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img that I can run from fastboot if needed.
By "signed rom," do you mean I can simply flash one of the zips here from fastboot? "[OnePlus 6][ROM][OTA][Oxygen OS] Mirrors for official Oxygen OS ROMs and OTA updates" https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244

That's awesome, I'm starting to grasp how much of a genius Mauronofrio is, after so many people referencing his work.
In his guide, he says, "These ROMs can't be used to update or downgrade your phone but just to restore your phone, so don't use them to come back to oreo or to update from oreo to pie." This may be a dumb question, but how do I know which zip/OOS version to flash, when I don't have a functioning OS on my phone?

That worked! And starstruck that you were able to check that with him. I flashed Mauronofrio's fastboot ROM for 10.3.2 and it rebooted (WOW). I clicked through the Google setup pages and checked that my data and wifi worked.
I then went back into fastboot, booted M's twrp img, fomatted data, and then installed twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.109_op6.zip, rebooted into recovery.
Then I think I made a mistake, because I installed Magisk-v20.4.zip. It succeeded, but now I can't boot into system anymore. Is it too late to flash the 10.3.2 boot.img?

I ended up following the guide to Magisk Root without TWRP for OnePlus 6 Oxygen OS https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/patched-boot-image-magisk-16-7-beta-t3818853 since it was referenced by Mauronofrio's post for having issues getting his TWRP to work with latest Magisk.
Someone posted a patched boot.img for 10.3.2, so now I'm rooted without TWRP. Priorities. Now all I need is for special characters and emojis to work Will keep an eye on other threads.
I'm learning a lot, thanks so much for all your help. You pointed me in the right direction when I was not sure what the hell to do!

If the issue is with mounting the storage where your, whatever it is you're trying to flash, then put that file on an external drive and connect it to your phone via an OTG cable. Once you flash that zip in my last response, you won't have this issue. How did you root your phone?
Ok i unlocked bootloader, flashed stock pie rom, then flashed twrp but not latest one, because latest gave me mount error, i flashed 3.2.1 it solved my mounting problem, then i flashed janjan kernek then magisk. But problem is i lost most of functionalities of my phone(drm key lost) is there any way to restore it? Or is there any kernel?

Afraid not. There are steps to take to get temp root to back up those keys before unlocking the bootloader, and then restoring the keys after unlock. There's a whole thread on that here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510. I never bothered with all that and have not had any issues that concern me. What issues are you having?

Yeah, I couldn't tell you. As for me the phone still does what I need it to do. As far as the camera it still takes the pics I need it to take. I don't social media so I don't need the special effects/enhancements people use for that. When it comes to taking pictures, that's what I have a camera for. My phone is for calls, text, and email and web search when I'm not near my computer. You could try other phone apps to see if they replace what's lost. I believe photo quality is as stock.

Well same answer as far as video too.
I'm using eXtstenZ Pie. It's the stock rom with enhancements. It's stable and customizable. I would install the Aroma Add-on at the same time. I've tried Carbon but I had sim card issues, that may be resolved by now. There is also a Lineage 17.1 available but I don't believe it's reliable enough for a main phone. If you don't mind experimenting you could try that as it's Android 10. There's Tomahawk Project if you want barebones and get away from Google. CrDroid also out there. These last three I have not tried.
I am sorry but, i dont know so much about the android phones, I am using stock, exitstenz looks like custom rom, or is this modified stock? Because i lot changes and it doesnt have stock rom interface

Yes, it's a modified stock rom.
To flash it, i just need to fladh latest firmware then twrp, then magisk?
If you're already on .107, you're good there. Then from twrp flash eXistenZ then flash Magisk. If you're going to use Aroma Add-on flash it next and you should be good to go. Also, with this phone you can install twrp in recovery partition so you don't have to use a computer every time you want to use twrp. You have to unzip it and save the .img file to where you put all the other files you flash, then from twrp install the image to recovery partition. Then next time you need to flash something, hold power and volume down at the same time (after turning phone off) when the screen just starts to light up release the buttons and it'll boot into twrp.
Thanks, but i have a another question, i flashed 47.2.a.6.30 version pie with using emma, and used janjan kernel of the same version, everyting works without any problem, should i stay this version or i must update to the 107 then root my phone? What is the advantages of the janjan's kernel? and without any custom kernel can i root my phone after flashing 107 firmware?
Don't know anything about the janjan kernel and it's compatibility with eXistenZ. As far as firmware version just flash the eXistenZ version that matches your rom version, I believe there is a list on the first page of the thread that tells which file to use.
---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------
I don't know anything about the janjan kernel or it's compatibility with eXistenZ.
You can stay on that firmware if you wish. Just use the correct version of eXistenZ for it.
You can root any kernel once bootloader is unlocked. You loose root when you change firmware versions though.
Just a heads up to anyone who is wondering about root for this phone - I successfully rooted it with Magisk. It was pretty easy. Basically I just followed the same steps as outlined in this thread, which was for rooting last year's Moto G Stylus model, and it worked. Obviously you need to have already unlocked the bootloader before doing any of this.
I got the stock boot.img from the firmware linked in this thread. I patched it using Magisk Manager (v8.0.7) then flashed it via fastboot. My installed Magisk version is 21.4 (21400).
-- A WORD OF CAUTION: --
As of now there is no TWRP or any other custom recovery for this phone that I am aware of, so if you mess something up due to root, your only option to fix it might be to reflash the stock firmware.
A note about mobile banking apps:
After I installed Magisk Manager, my banking app stopped working and SafetyNet check was failing. After flashing the patched boot.img and rebooting, the SafetyNet check passed but my banking app still wasn't working. I used Magisk Hide and checked off the banking app in the list, but that didn't help either. What I had to do was use the Hide Magisk Manager option where it reinstalls Magisk Manager under a different name. Now my banking app is working again.

It worked for me too. It was also easy for me because the only RETUS upload on the mirrors.lolinet site was my exact firmware version. Downloaded that, extracted and used that boot.img for magisk-patching.
The only issues I'm left with are:
1. Adaway isn't working (can't write to any of the canned hosts file paths) and I haven't figured out where I might be able to store a writable hosts file, and . . .
2. Titanium Backup (Pro) works to freeze almost every app that I wanted to disable. The one exception was Motorola Update Service. TiBu toasts that it was disabled and "invisible from the app drawer", but it actually wasn't disabled and still isn't. It still shows under System Applications. So I dunno . . . it's not a deal breaker as long as auto updating stays turned off.
Bootloader is unlocked and rooting via Magisk worked on my Stylus 2021, exactly as advertised.
Update: My solution for AdAway was here, AdAway 5.3 (newest version I believe).
Update2: Sans freezing Motorola Update Service, updates are of course frozen from actually running because of system changes by root & TWRP. So no big worries, just the nuisance of notifications.
cant the new maagisk be used as an alternative custom recovery? Something about renaming the apk to zip and then flashing zip file on recovery?

No, Magisk is not custom recovery.
There are two ways to install Magisk, using the .zip version, with a custom recovery like TWRP or
Using the magisk app to patch a boot.img then flash with fastboot.exe

I appreciate the knowledge, but perhaps you can shed some light on what the app means by " Custom Recovery lovers, no worries! The Magisk app APK itself is a custom recovery flashable zip, just like MAGIC. Check out the updated installation guide for more info"

You are partly correct, there has been a big change with Magisk.
You can just change the Magisk.apk to Magisk.zip
But the zip does not replace a custom recovery.
It just eliminates the need for a separate manager.zip
In some custom recoveries, the installation may fail silently (it might look like success but in reality it bootloops). This is because the installer scripts cannot properly detect the correct device info or the recovery environment does not meet its expectation. If you face any issues, use the Patch Image method as it is guaranteed to work 100% of the time. Due to this reason, installing Magisk through custom recoveries on modern devices is no longer recommended. The custom recovery installation method exists purely for legacy support

Magisk in Recovery
If your device does not have ramdisk in boot images, Magisk has no choice but to be installed in the recovery partition. For these devices, you will have to reboot to recovery every time you want Magisk.
When Magisk is installed in your recovery, you CANNOT use custom recoveries to install/upgrade Magisk! The only way to install/upgrade Magisk is through the Magisk app. It will be aware of your device state and install to the correct partition and reboot into the correct mode.
Since Magisk now hijacks the recovery of the device, there is a mechanism to let you actually boot into recovery mode when needed: it is determined by how long you press the recovery key combo.

This does not replace the stock recovery, just patches the recovery.
I recently purchased this phone, Moto G Stylus 2021, from Amazon. When I enter the dev options menu, OEM Unlocking is greyed out. I did a bit of research and found another thread online where another two users had the same problem, for all of two days.
After two days, the option to enable OEM Unlocking was no longer greyed out for the both of them. Fascinating! I may return this phone before that time is up, but if I don't, I'll report back on any changes for sure.
EDIT: I've decided to return this phone and get a Galaxy Tab S7 instead; there's more room to draw and a better pen!
Can't find my firmware on lolinet (boost mobile qpc30.q4-31-93)
Tried lenovo's rescue tool to see if I could grab the firmware that way and it just kept giving me errors.
If anyone has some how acquired the appropriate firmware would you mind sending it to me?
I can't remember exactly where I seen someone else commenting on this topic but they had lost their cellular network after rooting ,
My problem / question is that I have also my lost my cellular network connection after rooting but not completley only to the original carrier I got t this phone with witch is boost, but if I try another carrier such as tmobile or sprint or even metro it will work because they are basically all 1 company now , but how do I fix this problem to get my phone to read my sim card as valid (I get the invalid sim msg) when I put my original sim in and I just went and got a brand new replacement sim from them to see if that would solve the issue.also going off reading the forums on here I went with the mask retus firmware for flashing because there isn't one on there anywhere for so any help would be hysteria l greatly appreciated. This is my only problem I'm having since rooting everything else is working perfectly fine.

Hey well i just installed latest magisk and patched boot img and moved it to my pc and went thru fast boot and just did fastboot flash boot patched.img and it works fine. I dunno if latest update fixed whatever was wrong on yours but if i installed the older one it would not even let me pick the boot img to patch *shrugs* but all working on mine now...we just need full device tree etc so we can get us a a recovery def want that before i go adding mods. If it helps any I have cricket same as ATT the person who lost cell may need to redo their apn or take sim card out and reapply it hope that works.

I've been having the same problem trying to disable the update prompts. Titanium Backup doesn't work, nor can I disable it via terminal using pm. The system update screen will pop up multiple times a day, interrupting whatever I'm currently doing to tell me I have an update. It's really annoying that it can't be frozen.

Hey Guys, I'm continuing on this thread since I've gotten further. I used LMSA to download the firmware zip using the Resuce button. Afterwards I copy that zip (2+ gigs) to my download folder. I open up Magisk and select intall and select the firmware zip. I starts out successfully but then fails. I get this in the log folder.
- Device platform: arm64-v8a
- Installing: 23.0 (23000)
- Copying image to cache
- Unpacking boot image
Parsing boot image: [/data/user_de/0/com.topjohnwu.magisk/install/boot.img]
! Unsupported/Unknown image format
! Installation failed
I even tried to resuce the phone using the firmware provided by the LMSA program which essentially wipes my phone and try again with a clean Magisk load and I'm getting the same. The only thing I'm thinking is I could be getting my Magisk from another source. I'm using version 23 from github.

It isn't a zip file it's a folder or at least every firmware I have downloaded is automatically unzipped by LMSA.
You only need to copy the boot.img and maybe the recovery.img to the device.

Thanks I figured it out last night. I also figured out pretty quickly that once you root a phone certain applications will no longer function. I didn't deal with this before, but since I work from home I have to use some of those apps that create a "Work Profile". The one app "Intelligent Hub" removed itself and my work profile. When trying to re-install and authenticate with my work it literally said "Won't provision a compromised device".
Within Magsik I used the Magsik hide feature and tried selected that app and hiding all methods that it could detect root. I even then rebooted, removed/reinstall etc. Nothing worked. The app still kept detecting root. I know that the Xposed Framework modules may work in hiding root but I decided to go all the way back to normal since there's little benefit for me to root except for the ability for me to remove bloatware. This is a retail unlocked and there's little if any bloatware on the device.
I removed Magsik and any other junk, turned on OEM locking and rebooted and I'm back to mormal. Thank you everyone this was a leaning exp. I haven't rooted in like 5 years.

Hello everyone, I have the OP9 china varient,
I've flashed custom ROMs in some devices in the past, specially on a Poco F1 and a Mi 11 Ultra (flashed MIUI.EU in it several times). With the OnePlus 9 the process with unlocking the bootloader was a bit different but I got it to work. But when it comes to custom ROMs installation, the end result is always a bricked device and I had to use MSM from OP9 pro to unbrick and then OP9 MSM to get the device back to normal. I've downgraded everytime to OxygenOS 11 but it didn't work. Can someone help me find out what am I doing wrong?
My procedure besides unlocking the bootloader was:
1. Install boot.img
2. From fastboot to recovery
3. Wipe everything (tried not doing it with the same result)
4. Install ROM via ADB (as an update)
5. Wipe everything (tried not doing it with the same result)
6. Reboot
7. Brick..
I've considered it being an ADB drivers problem, but the device is recognized in the computer as an ADB device so I don't think it is.
As I install through ADB, the CMD window keeps the percentage going up but on the device it never shows anything ROM related as it is being installed, just the final message saying steps 2/2 had been completed.
Thanks in advance, and happy flashing guys!
Change to slot A before flashing. Slot B just doesn't flash right most of the time. Sometimes the device still bricks despite doing everything right though and after the last one, I just went back to stock and stayed there. It's far less likely to brick if you're flashing slot A though in my experience.
You are making sure to use the posted recovery image with each ROM as well, right?
Try StagOS as it was the least problematic for me, both flashing and in terms of bugs. Go to slot A like I recommended and then follow the instructions including flashing the copy partitions zip.

Hey, I've only tried Nameless OS and EvolutionX.
The think I liked about the Poco F1 is that it had no Slot A/B mess (though I've heard A/B slot is better overall).
I'm pretty sure both recoveries went straight to slot A but I might be wrong.
To be fair, stock OOS12 is working fairly good. I just like to help developing custom ROMs and try new stuff. Next time I find time to mess with the phone I'll try StagOS as you suggested. Thank you for your time and opinion.

If you use the copy partitions zip before you flash and then you reboot recovery, you end up with both partitions having the same data before you flash and much less likelihood of a brick. Also, don't clear data after you flash, that caused me to reboot to fastboot when I was done flashing and at that point I couldn't recover the OS and had to use the MSM.
I am not a fan of the A/B system but I will say that my Pixel 3 XL didn't have this issue.

It's only mentioned in the Stag thread and I think Lineage too but it should work with every ROM since it's only a recovery script that copies the partitions.

Copy partitions is def what you need. Your using msm then trying to flash. If you took an ota or used copy partitions after msm. You will be all good. Oos has to be on both slots. This is your issue

It's easier to take an ota update to get oos on both slots truly. Go into system updates. Make sure it's A 11. Seamless updates . However you can do it get it done. Then flashing will be fine.
Can you tell me what is the easiest way to downgrade from A12 to A11 (latest OOS)? The only way I've found was through MSM. It is impossible to install A11 while already being on A12 through OTA right? You're helping me a lot btw, thank you

I'm replying to everyone so that you know that I was successful. It was indeed a partition's problem. Sadly I didn't find the ROM as stable as OOS 12 or OOS 11 so I guess I'll stick with Oneplus software for the time being. Thank you so much for the help

Glad that you got it sorted.
I found the same thing. I'm back on OOS12 C.48 with root. Browsing performance sucks with the CPU throttling they do, and they changed the way they do it so the fixes posted in the 9 Pro forum don't work anymore, but it's otherwise better than all the custom ROMs I tried and I don't have much to complain about.

I have to agree with both. I'm also a global unit op9 unlocked on C-48 rooted. Anything that is usually still maintained/updated and not deserted is better than custom. Cherry picking and flashing is overrated. Stock isn't bad at all. You guys enjoy your devices.
