We don't know brother when we will be succeed to build a successful lineage OS ROM for this mobile because till now we haven't explored any new ideas to successfully port a custom recovery like TWRP to initiate our research so please have patience in the process and if you have any level of expertise in Android ROM porting then please lend a helping hand to us.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanketMohapatra:
Some more devices like Nokia 2 even another lyf phone is also planned with the same system on chip scheduled to be released later this year with the Snapdragon 210 processor so we may expect that more and more number of phones come with the same processor as our so we can get a good number of support from the communities of the other mobiles developing the lineage OS and custom recovery

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanketMohapatra:
Now it has already been a month to have started a proper plan for developing a custom rom as well as a custom recovery for this phone but now we are facing a problem that the bootloader owner of this phone this means the company on the phone is not giving us the bootloader unlock code and without it we are not able to flash anything into the mobile phone

1 method has been suggested by every developer redmi Note 3 development forum that we should edit the emmc_appsboot.mbn file in order to get access to the bootloader unlock command but we don't have the required skills to make edit to that file and use that opportunity to to root our phone.

So I request the help and advice of all the people of this forum to kindly have a research on this and please suggest whatever we can do for this phone because we are the only person left wondering to develop something this phone and completely without any support from the company.

i am no developer so i know nothing but may i say something

i just compared Lyf Flame 8 and Lyf F8 both devices are almost same (slightly different in processor clock speed) but while flame 8 is on Android 5.1.1, F8 is on Marshmallow so i am thinking if there is any way to modify Original Rom of F8 so we can use it on Flame 8...

if i am wrong or it is not possible please ignore this post

regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanketMohapatra:
Thank you dear for suggesting us such a great idea but the real problem lies in the fact that the bootloader of this phone is locked by the company that we cannot do anything without unlocking it.

In simple language it is just like a wall that is standing between us and the mobile phone firmware that is blocking us to do any changes to the mobile phone.

Well first our mission to unlock the bootloader so that we can flash anything that we want into the mobile to get it work.

We have already considered that the phone lyf F8 is a sibling of this phone having all those things same but due to this same issue we are not able to flash the ROM.

So please co-operate with us to do something on this phone because we are already confirmed that the company is not going to release any of that update for this phone in the near future so please be with us and support in the development.

That doesn't really unlock your bootloader it is just a toggle that will allow your phone to Be unlocked but unless and until there is no bootloader unlock code given by the company this button is of no use.

Hi

I am very sorry to say there is nothing mentioned about what you are expecting in that other forum you are pointing to.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanketMohapatra:
At this point of time we have a reasonable conclusion that there is a slight possibility that we can boot TWRP on this phone as we have tried to do so device for the testing because we have a very shortage of testers and whoever has this phone as a secondary device is requested to join our forum on Telegram so that we can discuss more and sort out this problem.

The way we actually we discovered it is by flashing the software of F8 with flame 8 which obviously resulted in a very Buggy software but somehow we could manage to crack the bootloader and booted into the TWRP but the biggest problem is not able to do the same on the lollipop stock recovery

So we want to dig more into this problem and for this we need some more support it is my request to all the members in this forum those were having this device as a secondary device to please contribute some of your time so that we can collectively figure out a problem and resolve it as soon as possible.

There is a requirement of the PC for the users who are going to test it and I assure you that your mobile will not be hard bricked!

Normal ADB flash command to install right ?

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

also how to enter in to recovery IF it gets installed successfully ?:fingers-crossed: both Vol+&Power & Vol-&Power are assigned to normal recovery & testing commands so will it replace Vol+&Power ?

Does ramdisk modifies in process of twrp install ?

Also please link the source from where you download F8 rom (6.0) because via searching through LS-4505 i keep on finding only Flame 8 rom (5.1)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanketMohapatra:
You have to use them Qualcomm tool in the windows to flash the software along with their recovery image and for that to happen you have to remember TWRP recovery to recovery.img . You cannot flash a recovery image itself but you have to do with along with the whole software ,download the software from the link below and replace the recovery image.

The link to the Android Marshmallow ROM for the F8

Thank you very much for trying and I am sorry that it didn't work for you but we are still trying to crash our phones for the good, but it is for sure that to develop anything for this phone there is not a single straight forward way so our journey will be very adventurous and hope that you can get any success before we just screw up on our phones.

It is very astonishing that only on one phone we have been able to boot the TWRP recovery and for that we have the proof in the image and we are in contact with the person but we are not able to reproduce the same with our other devices so the problem seems to be very complex at this time
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jineshpatel30:
No issue...I'm here to try your future versions as well.

I don't mind Factory reset while testing it on my F8 as i use it just as backup device, i'll keep on throwing test versions you provide as long as it's alive :p

Also i think i might have done a silly mistake while flashing which can cause installation error that's why i said i'll try again but for now i'm busy with work trips for few weeks so will try again once i get some free time to tinker.

When you switch off and holding the vol up + vol down+ power button together, the phone vibrates. After this you have to connect the device with your PC. If the drivers are installed properly, your device should be listed in the device manager [ like COM:...] port. When you open the qfil , there should also display the same port.

So you liked Xposed if you have an old device running Android KitKat or below I suggest you should install xposed and install a module called monster ui, by installing it your device will have a total material design look I used to develop an xposed module like that but people were not satisfied because a very few people had boot loops but I had got really disappointed anyway thanks for minmin guard it really works like a charm.
