Hey! My Honor 8 runs with Omnirom, just testing. I see some bugs so I would like to flash my phone back to stock (Oreo or Nougat). Is it possible to rollback? If yes - how? I dont want my phone bricked so please be kind and help me and tell me step by step what to do.
Thank you so much!
Flash system.img and ramdisk (if you installed magisk) through adb. There are guides on here and the openkirin website
Hi! No root, no Magisk. Is root needed for this?
Im on stock now. But please dont ask me how I managed it After re-installing Omnirom and switch to eRecovery, I suddenly could download the Oreo Update via Wifi and thats what I did. Now Im on stock and all is well

I was using cm 12.1 and wanted to update it to newer version, but after flashing it stuck in bootloop.
Now i can only flash cm 12.1 and don't know why ?
I've tried many types of different rom's but all end up in bootloop, only version 12.1 works.#
Thanks for help.
Fastboot doesn't work for me, when im trying start it, screen flashes and goes back to bootloader.
I dont care about any files so i've tried wiping everything mounting unmounting, factory resets etc. but still it boots only cm 12.1
Will someone be able to help me please ?
It's really important.

well you can only flash lollipop roms until you update your bootloader as far as I know. I haven't messed with any custom rom though, but I at least read the threads.

When I search for " bootloader update nvidia shield " there is no such thing on the internet.
I read a lot of threads and still haven't found a solution to my problem.
Still thanks for the reply.
So basically i can only boot CyanogenMod 12.1 on mine device. No other ROM boots.
You can find the Marshmallow bootloader (4.2.0) under Firmware Update of the OP of the CM13 thread. First, make sure you're using the latest official TWRP 3.0.2-2 before flashing the bootloader.
*PROBLEM RESOLVED*
Firstly i had to unlock bootloader through fastboot - I haven't checked it at first.
After that I flashed updated firmware from upper post.
Had a lot of problems making fastboot working on my pc, but after few hours spent on searching I finally got it running.
Then I flashed CM13 and it worked !
Thanks for help !

Download and flash: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4302781&d=1508010356
You should now be rooted with Magisk.
Make sure you have TWRP 3.1.x from the twrp thread

Is it really that easy? i have mine rooted with TWRP 3.1, i can flash that file and I'll have magisk? I'm on the same HW/SW version as the OP.
since the Oreo is coming out, will I need to flash stock to get the Stock Oreo update when its released? I assume so. I am new to the Mates and they seem to have a much different flash method/path than the Nexus 6p and HTC devices i have done in the past. I'm kind of leery to pursue Installing ROM's and Magisk (never used it yet) but would like to. Any tips or links to detailed instructions for the Mate flashing? I cant find, what I feel, to be detailed instructions on XDA.
thanks

If you're rooted with SuperSU or Phh you will need to restore your stock boot image before flashing Magisk,
this can be done by downloading your firmware from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ then extacting update.app and opening it in Huawei Update Extractor where you extract BOOT.IMG.
Flash it using fastboot flash boot boot.img.
As long as you're using firmware B182+ (Loop device support) and TWRP 3.1.x you can install official Magisk/SuperSU.
Oreo will be a full firmware so it shouldn't need to verify any partition, meaning you will only need to restore stock recovery.
I have a rooted phone with a rom that isn't being supported anymore but it actually works great. I just want to update to oreo so is there a rom I can flash from twrp that is already rooted and ready to go? I saw a video of a how to install oreo 8.1 but it's just music playing with someone showing the menu option and no installation instructions.
The OpenKirin ROMs don't work with TWRP. Moreover, TWRP is risky -- it is much easier to recover a phone using the stock EMUI recovery than with TWRP. It is probably better to eliminate TWRP (which will not eliminate your rooting) by flashing the stock ramdisk), then use Magisk if you want to take advantage of root for installation of unapproved apps. I'm not an expert -- this is what I get from reading threads. Now that I'm running OpenKirin (Carbon), I haven't bothered to install Magisk again as I don't need it, but I appreciate that there are things you can do with it.

Last night I installed Oreo from a custom nougat rom. My wifi tether was working before now it isn't so I'll have to figure that out and maybe re root etc.. Is OpenKirin Oreo?
Yes, OpenKirin is Oreo 8.1.0, with security patches in Carbon 3.1 of July 2018. (The OpenKirin site currently has Carbon 2, which has the June patch, but you can get 3.1 from the telegram support group, which is what I'm running. It will show up on the OpenKirin site sooner or later.)
Can I go from stock 8.0 to OpenKirin? Since it doesn't use twrp I'll have to read how to do it.
Edit: Where do I find OpenKirin Carbon? I didn't see it in the rom section here.

There are instructions at the site as well as downloads. The current version of Carbon, 3.1, can currently only be reached by going to the telegram group, but I found no bugs in v2.
Hi guys,
I tried to update my Bln-l21 from emui 5 (nougat) to emui 8 (oreo) using the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-update-to-emui-8-t3807806
It worked so I went on to install TWRP from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-emui-8-0-0-honor-6x-dual-sim-t3794079, as suggested in a comment on the guide.
Only then I realized that in order to install Gapps I needed GSM installer, so I downloaded it, but it didn't work because it loaded TWRP instead of the stock erecovery.
I started to panic real bad
I tried reinstalling the firmware using hwota8 (since i had upgraded i figured i had to use that), but it completely destroyed my phone.
Now it wont boot, recovery wont boot and neither erecovery. I can only get it to enter fastboot.
I know, I am a total noob, but PLEASE help me out on this, i'm desperate.
Thank you so much
If you can enter into fastboot, just install twrp, boot into twrp and flash the ROM using HuRUpdater. Use your external storage for the HuRUpdater and the ROM files. The instructions are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Before flashing through Hurupdater wipe system Cache Data Internal and Dalvik/ART Cache.

Thank you for the answer, I was able to boot in TWRP (the one in the original post) and I downloaded Huru, but I'm unsure of which firmware to use. I want to downgrade back to nougat and rebrand back to europe (since the guide in the original post made me change to china).
Thank you again
Just use China and then install a custom ROM

Just use the original files you used in the first place. The ones you downloaded from the thread. In terms of a custom ROM there is a thread in Custom ROMS section for Pixys OS. Just search stable Pie ROM for Honor 6x and install it. It's very smooth, etc.
This is a EMUI 8 ROM. If you want to go back to EMUI 5 don't use this. This will only restore EMUI 8. After that flash Custom ROM Don't go back to EMUI 5

Hi, I successfully flashed with Hurupdater and I'm going trough the installation of the pixys rom. The guide says that i need to flash the stock recovery for my device, where can I find it?
Can I pull it from the firmware I used for Huru? If that's the case, how?
Thank you again
I do have instructions over there but cause you asked I will tell.
Extract the Update.zip the large file. In it you will have an Update.app. Now serach for Huawei Update Extractor on XDA and Download it. Run the application and navigate to Update.app. Select it and in settings of Extractor uncheck the first option. Now extract Recovery_Ramdis.img and flash it. Luck.

Thank you so much! Now the phone is working again, I'm only having trouble flashing magisk (it doesn't show up among the apps) but i guess i can live without it for now...
Have you got a paypal or something? I wanna buy you a coffe, it seems the least I can do to repay your kindness and patience!

Really there is no need for that. I did what anyone would do. Your thanks is enough.
Can you tell me what version you flashed. What TWRP did you use and what was the message after flashing.Now regarding Magisk, I am gonna assume you flashed the ZIP and the Magisk Manager app didn't show up, correct? To solve that just download Magisk Manager v6.0.1 and install the apk.
If that's not the issue then download any Root Checker app to see if device is rooted. Although I guess you need Magisk Manager to validate Root access. So just install Magisk Manager and let me know what it says. If it says device is unrooted then you probably need to flash Magisk again.
P.S: I don't have a PayPal. Not yet available in my country.

I really appreciate your kindness,
I flashed the latest version of magisk available from the official thread using the same TWRP from before (king of mezi TWRP from elemental rom thread) and it looked fine... Yes, the app didn't show up, I will try with the manager and I'll let you know.
[edit] I installed the manager and turns out it actually worked the first time and I'm already rooted!
Thank you again, you've been wonderful!
Glad to help.
So long time android user. I have the tmo variant of the Oneplus7 pro with unlocked bootloader via exploit found. Have twrp installed amd stock rom rooted with magisk. I tried installing the Havoc and the Aosip rom followed directions step by step. Havoc booted to the first gteen splash screen then reboots to fastboot. Aosip gets to the settimg up wifi then reboots to fastboot. I made a backup of the stock rom before installing anything and im able to restore it with twrp and root. I looked in the threads but didn't find anything unless i missed it. Also been sitting on telegram waiting on someone to shed some light.
