I obviously have clean flashed OOS on both slots before installing this ROM.
I checked the vendor directory, the file doesn't exist.
Would really like to use it, puzzling why it doesn't work. Am I missing something?
EDIT: SOLVED
Firmware was the issue. I followed a thread that let me flash firmware manually, and I was only flashing the firmware through fastboot. There was another section that involved flashing other parts in TWRP ADB, which couldn't be flashed in fastboot. I must have missed those.
Also, after I updated the firmware properly, the error changed. It complained about a DNS error, of which the magisk module dnscrypt- proxy was the culprit.
Long story short, make sure firmware is COMPLETELY upgraded.
I was flashing firmware with official OOS zips, but I don't think they were full updates, only OTAs that didn't have all of the firmware included, causing some wierd errors. I'm surprised that the hotspot was the only thing broken.
Well I just checked it on another OP6, the driver doesn't exist, but hotspot works? Really puzzling.
Well I just flashed every single partition of v9.0.7 by hand, besides boot and system.
Still doesn't work.

Alright, This is just because I am trying to take precautions so that way I do not end up with a brick.
Currently I am rocking 5.1 PAC-MAN and things are going well. But LineageOS for MM for 6045 came already and I want to use that as my daily driver.
Here is where I run into a problem. For those of you that know I only have LP radios and modems on my system. Main problem I am having and is keeping me from flashing is the lack of a MM radio and or modem. Is there anyone that is on 6045O that had tried this out without having that lockscreen problem?
If you don't flash the MM radios, you will end up with lock screen issues, unfortunately.
-EDIT-
So apparently I can't read. I have the 6045O and this link has the correct modem files to fix the lock screen issues.

6.0.1 modem is the file you need.

Attempted. Everything but the pin issue is good. Weird how it trips badly with the PIN. Installing SuperSU as we speak.
EDIT: Looped after SuperSU flash..
EDIT2: Going back to 5.1. Thank you very much for the support.

While playing around with ROMs for the phone I had some odd issues here and there. As far as the SuperSU flash, it almost always loops a couple times during the reboot process, but I've switched to the lineageOS official su addon because I like native support and root management. Also it never did those initial boot loops. When I did have an issue (just recently, in fact) I ran a wipe of the system partition, then installed the rom, and ran the repair file system option in TWRP, and since then it's been smooth as butter. If you're interested in giving it another go, just let me know and I should be able to link you the files, as they're on my google drive.

May I ask one more thing? Have you ever gotten the PIN lock or password or pattern lock to work?
EDIT: Nvm. Using Hi-Locker for now. All is good.
I use a pattern lock on mine, and after flashing the modem files, the lock screen functions as it should with all methods. Consider re-flashing the modem and ROM if you get to where you want to play with it, full wipe prior, no dirty flash.
I picked up two Honor 6X BLN-24 models, the serial numbers are within a couple hundred of each other, so I'm assuming they're from the same batch. Right now they're both on Nougat, but one looks like it has a partial install of Nougat and the other has a "normal" install. Here's what happened:
1) The partial install phone - I unboxed it, connected it to WiFi, did a check for updates; it found the Nougat update, so I let the system update itself, rebooted, had Nougat B360. Flashed TWRP, which is working fine on the phone.
2) The "normal" install phone - instead of updating straight to Nougat, I installed TWRP first and had a bunch of issues with the wrong TWRP .img file; that's a separate issue. Got Nougat installed eventually on the phone but ended up with the "Test Keys" build issue. Ended up doing the rollback to MM, then did the check for updates, it found the Nougat update and I let it install. Phone has Nougat, build shows as B360.
Thought everything was fine and didn't really take a good look at the phones since I had to do other stuff to do before migrating to the Honors.. Now I'm ready and I'm noticing that one phone - the one that went to Nougat straight out of the box - doesn't have a bunch of apps that the second phone has, like the FM radio, CNN, Lyft, News Republic. Outside of the FM radio, I don't care about the other apps, but something else is missing - the System Update option in Settings. There may be other stuff missing, but the System Update thing is problematic.
So I figure my options are:
1) Rollback the phone that's missing things to MM, then retry the update, or
2) Try a dirty flash of the Nougat B360 update and data files.
3) Flash the smaller update_data file for the B360 build that contains most of the apps (but doesn't look like it has the FM radio)
Or is there another option?
Go with option 2. If no success then I would suggest for option 1.
Need couple of favours as you did rollback. Do you have the rollback package file? If yes, please share.
If you are rooted, use Huawei mutli tool and backup the oeminfo file. I need both these files so that if anyone messed up with their phone we will be able to revive and also address the nrd test keys issue and the best we can do is to debrand from other variant to US variant.
Thanks beforehand.
I had similar issues my phone was showing as nrd test keys and the backup of twrp also indentify phone as nrd test keys. When I checked updated update it was showing no update. My phone wassoft bricks so i download and updated package for build no b 340 and in build no it was showing nrd test key
Later i flashed zip shared in volte fix thread on xda as I was not having volte.
After flashing all thing went good test key issues resolved also so u can try that zip also.
Thanks for the replies, I'm away from the phones for a few days but will report back.
For shashank1320, the intermediate rollback package (the one that's flashed first from Nougat before the actual MM ROM) is still available on the US Honor site at http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details/?DOC_ID=94205
You can use it if it matches with your last build no

Thanks downloading now. Yes then you can use this file for rollback.
Here's the latest update. - I tried the dirty flash method and it wouldn't work. AT ALL. I'm getting the "software failed update" at 5% message that several others have received. I downloaded the BLN-24C567B360 FullOTA package from three different sources; all had the same hash and *none* of them would work using the dload method. I ended up flashing the MM rollback package (which worked perfectly via the dload method) then flashed the MM firmware (also worked perfectly using the dload method). The phone booted into MM, it found the 2.35GB Nougat update (which is the same size of the Nougat .zips I downloaded), and it installed the update. It also installed the FM Radio (a system app) and the US package of apps that for some reason it didn't install when it upgraded to Nougat fresh out of the box.
I actually did this rollback/roll-forward twice since something odd happened while playing with SafetyNet with Magisk and the FRP Lock tripped. The next thing I know I'm getting the "data partition is corrupted" message and, again the B360 update.app files wouldn't flash. Thankfully the rollback worked. FYI, rolling back to MM relocks the bootloader. At this point I'm just keeping both the rollback and MM packages saved together on an SD card; flash rollback, pop card, rename folders on PC, pop card back in 6X, flash MM, reboot, find update, OTA to Nougat. Easier done than said, actually.
I am curious about why none of the B360 Nougat update.app files will flash on either phone. I don't think it's coincidental because the e-Recovery via WiFi doesn't find a package, and if I try System Recovery in HiSuite it says "no recovery available; take device to a Service Center".

If you get this issue again, try to format data inside TWRP.

I actually tried that. I ran into this same issue previously when I had TWRP installed, and TWRP's wipe data didn't work. Ultimately had to do the rollback to MM/roll-forward to Nougat and re-unlock the bootloader.
I can't figure out why my two phones won't flash Nougat using the dload method. The only logical reason is the upload.app file signatures, but I haven't found any alternative Nougat files for BLN-24C567B660.
Use Odin, plain and simple. done.

Thanks buddy, been waiting for someone to post this! I probably could've used Flashfire, but I wanted to use Odin, but ran into trouble. Ended up extracting the AP and removing the fota.zip from the Meta folder and wrapping it back into another .md5 to successfully flash it. Worked perfect. I had done the OTA update a few days ago and accidentally wiped /system after messing round rooting it, fooled around trying to downgrade and couldn't get this new fw so installed Lineage 14.1 for a few days. Very nice, but not what I was looking for. Thanks so much for this. I'm uploading my custom .md5 now, my connection is fairly slow so I'll update this post with a link later, for anyone having the same issue I did (don't know why it was failing that fota.zip, haven't even checked what was in there yet).
Upon further investigation, I cannot determine what the fota.zip in the main flash file's meta data folder contains, seems it is password protected. Strange...
This FW, otherwise, is pretty much what I needed, though I'm going to have to flash MVNOSlayer for Boost, unfortunately this fw doesn't seem to have any CSC except Sprint. If anyone can further enlighten me on how to get back on Boost CSC proper, I'm all ears!
Edit: hmm, something doesn't seem quite right after all.. Internal storage seems to be different size now, 3.89GB when before it included the size of /system with it? Idk.. may just go back to lineage until I can enlighten myself further.
re-edit: I'm at a loss here, my internal storage has always shown up as 16GB, now its only 3.89. I cannot flash anything on odin with the re-partition checked, wiping and going back to lineage did work, but still showing my internal storage as only 3.89. I'm moving a flashfire backup which I know will flash, maybe restoring that then reflashing lineage will fix it.. Meanwhile, if anyone has any input, that'd be welcome right about now. So strange that this happened with what's supposed to be the stock fw.
Well, it turns out that the issues I had were due to an older version of Odin. Version 3.12.3 was able to flash it with no difficulties. I'm still wondering if there's any difference between this version (J700PVPU2BQJ2) and the OTA I received previously (J700PVPE2BQJ2), but it seems to be identical. Make sure you wipe userdata and system from TWRP if you're flashing from a custom rom or you may end up with the issue I had where your internal storage shows up as less than 4gb.
Thanks again for posting this!
I’ll make this short.
I was successfully rooted. But I couldn’t update to 9.5.6.
I updated but it keeps failing. I switch to slot A and I was on 9.5.6 but WiFi didn’t work and apps would crash randomly, and it was laggy. I would go back to slot b and WiFi worked and everything was great but I’m on 9.5.3. And I would try to update again and it would fail and sometimes I would have to have in fastboot and reflash twrp to reboot to restore. I restored the device multiple times, removed root but it still happens. I used to always use android but I was on iOS for years and I’m used to jailbreaking and Apple IOS. Please help me. How can I restore and start from scratch? Or how can I fix this? It’s very annoying. I have my info backed up so I don’t care what I have to do. I love this phone but I had the Verizon iPhone bug when people call me and I answer it fails on there end. Or else I would deal with 9.5.3. All help is greatly appreciated.
You need to read the threads better, it's already been explained that wifi can end up being disabled because the rooted boot.img is older than your current rom version. Flashing one of the kernels available usually fixes this. You can also extract the boot image from the rom you downloaded and patch that boot.img file using Magisk, then when you apply that everything should work correctly.
From reading your post it would appear you're on T-Mobile (US) so you would need to download the 9.5.6 package and then extract the boot.img, then patch that using Magisk and push it to the phone using fastboot, once you reboot everything should be rooted and working.
I've had a strange issue with my LG V20 ever since I got in last year and installed LineageOS 18.1 after rooting my H990 on LG firmware 10d (H990ds10d_00_OPEN_AU_DS_OP_1216.kdz) with DirtySanta and installing TWRP. Whenever I left the range of my Wi-Fi network, I would cause the System UI to become unresponsive while doing certain tasks - Unlocking, going to Settings -> Wi-Fi, expanding the Wi-Fi quick toggle in notifications, and probably a few more things.
This doesn't happen on the aforementioned stock firmware, nor on 10g AU 0117 stock firmware either.
For a while, I dealt with it by simply not using Wi-Fi. This sucked because I couldn't access computers over LAN, mobile data was slower, and it also had a data cap that I had to be wary of.
However, I decided I wanted to fix it.
I saw some recommendations involving installing every Lineage version since 14.1 sequentially until the latest. This didn't make sense to me, as clean flashing shouldn't leave any remnants behind, but dirty flashing that many versions went against everything I'd ever heard of regarding custom ROMs.
I also heard that it could be a modem firmware issue. Since I started on the last version of the stock OS for my region vulnerable to DirtySanta I thought surely not.
I later found out about KDZWriter, and used that to install the latest Nougat version of the stock rom available (also mentioned above). After installing that, I tried installing the latest LOS on top, which constantly informed me that com.android.media had stopped, I still had the LG sounds and wallpapers, and I didn't go through the initial setup - A sign of a dirty flash. I was still crashing in the same way too.
I formatted my data partition in TWRP (the "type yes to confirm" way), and tried again. Same crashes.
I've been awake for a little too long trying to fix this, but :
What I believe ended up working was backing up my /efs and /firmware partitions in TWRP while on rooted 10g firmware, dirty flashing LOS on top, formatting data as before, then flashing my /firmware backup in TWRP.
I'm hoping for this thread to document this issue as well as the fixes that worked for people. I saw tidbits of information spread out everywhere, so I'd like a central repository for it.
I hope this caffeine-induced writeup will help someone else with the same or similar issues.
If I have any more experiences with it, I'll do my best to write them down. Please share your experiences too!
