Okay thanks for the follow up..

I still see saw some of the att apps (games, device help, setup&transfer, smart limits, visual vm) which I disabled. But some of the att apps and even google apps cannot be disabled (usage manager, google+, duo, gmail). Do I have to root to remove them? Also, will this ROM get OTA updates from att?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
The phone won't flash any OTA updates from AT&T with an unlocked bootloader

If your looking for a completely stripped rom Try bare naked

If you want to debloat this rom further you'll need a Root Browser and Root
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
Oh yes, I forgot that the unlocked bootloader will not get any updates from att.

Okay, I will try the bare naked now. Is it unrooted if I dont flash supersu with it? I want to keep the phone unrooted as far as possible.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
no this is my only unrooted rom aside from the Full roms

This rom was left like this intentionally because stripping everything out breaks some of the settings in the Rom

it's in the First post
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Yes! The only way you get rooted is to flash SuperSU or equivalent.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
I can't guarantee you that the Bare Naked rom is not pre rooted

the instructions were written when all the roms required flashing SuperSU to even boot

This all changed with B160 so the rom may or may not be pre rooted I really don't remember
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
Do you want me to try it? As long as there is no risk of bricking.... :)
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Sure most that will happen is you'll need to flash SuperSU
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
Okay, I did not try the bare naked rom yet, but this stock stripped rom is not truly unrooted it seems.

The safetynet check failed. Is there a way to go back to stock b160…? If not, then I'll just flash the bare naked and then flash magisk over it.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Does the ROM install SuperSU? You could try installing SuperSU to root, then use SuperSU to unroot and see if SafetyNet check passes. Just some thoughts :) .
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
No SuperSU came with this rom. It's supposed to be stock unrooted.

But since it's not, I'll try the bare naked and install magisk on that.

Edit: Something seems to be wrong with my data partition. When I booted in twrp to install the bare naked rom, the data partition was not getting selected for mounting. I had to format it and then I was able to mount it. Is this expected behavior?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Not sure

I know Pokemon go and Mario go both run fine on the stripped stock ROM on my phone

That was the point in posting an unrooted rom

Did you try the games or just the Saftynet test?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
I had just tried the safetynet test and it was failing. Somehow my data partition was also not getting mounted in TWRP, I had to format it each time before mounting.

BUT NOW. I have got a bigger problem. I know I just screwed it by my ignorance.

Since the data partition was giving issues, I thought okay I will just restore the entire backup which I had sent you, the B160 stock and everything will be back to normal. And now my phone seems bricked, it just gets to the warning screen (Your device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted) and nothing moves after that.. I tried connecting it to the pc and the adb is not recognizing the phone..

Anyway to save it now? :confused:

EDIT: After trying many times, the phone booted into TWRP, but before I could do anything, its just shut off again.. Now that I am trying the button combination again, the TWRP banner shows up for a moment sometimes and then it just shuts down..

Edit 2: After the twrp flashes for a moment and phone shuts down , if I plug it in, it shows the charging screen but not getting detected in the pc. Weird..

Edit 3: Cant replicate the above behavior every time, sometimes after TWRP screen the phone shuts down, else it just bootloops.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] madvane20:
try fastboot loading twrp by fastboot boot then name of twrp image
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
It's not getting detected by the computer. So no adb or fastboot..
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] madvane20:
im sure theres drivers listed in main post. if it still doesnt work try different cable or different port. if that dont work after trying to installing the drivers. im here for remote support by using teamviewer if u or anyone needs me to help.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
The drivers are already installed, I installed them just a few weeks back and did not changed the setup after that. Since it's just in a bootloop, is not getting detected. When the phone booted in twrp once, it got detected in the computer but then it just got into the boot loop again....

Gotta leave it tonight, will try after work tomorrow.. will contact you for help then, really appreciate your help..
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] madvane20:
connect to pc then hold power and volume down to get it to fast boot as soon as u see the logo release power button keep holding up til u see fastboot then check device manager see if its there if it shows no driver theres a way thats easy for me to do then try explain.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
Okay. Your post made me get back to the computer to try this.

Good news, the phone is entering in fastboot mode (message says Phone unlocked, FRP unlocked). Ans the device manager identifies it as Android Bootloader Interface.

Bad news, I tried the following command -

C:\adb>fastboot boot H1611.TWRP.New.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 1.278s]

booting...

OKAY [ 0.016s]

finished. total time: 1.310s

Also tried the following -

fastboot flash recovery H1611.TWRP.New.img

target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes

sending 'recovery' (40670 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.297s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.938s]

finished. total time: 2.234s

It does the same thing again, TWRP screen flashes real quick and then it goes back in bootloop..

Is there a way to flash the stock recovery to get out of the bootloop?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] madvane20:
well i can make a dump of my system partition for u to flash and a boot image then u can try twrp again. just pm me so we dont flood thread
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
That would be great. Even I have a TWRP backup of the following partitions -

Boot

Recovery

cust_image

System Image

Can I use any of these?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] madvane20:
pm me
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
Since I am able to get in Fastboot but TWRP is still not loading, I am planning to do the following with the TWRP backup I have of the stock rom.

Any thoughts or advise would be appreciated.

Rename boot.emmc.win to boot.img

Rename system_image.emmc.win to system_image.img

Then run the following commands -

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system_image.img

Does it looks right?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
yes and also do recovery
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
Okay, so I will do this -

Rename boot.emmc.win to boot.img

Rename system_image.emmc.win to system_image.img

Rename recovery.emmc.win to recovery.img

Then run the following commands -

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system_image.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

After all these steps, should I reboot or flash twrp again?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
let the phone boot up once first
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
Okay. I have started the flash. Boot and recovery had no errors -

C:\adb>fastboot flash boot boot.img

target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes

sending 'boot' (65536 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.074s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 1.500s]

C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

OKAY [ 2.066s]

But system gave some invalid sparse file error but it still moved ahead and flash is in progress.. Will post the results soon..

Okay, the flash was successful and after reboot, the stock bootloader came up it seems. I have got a EMUI logo with 3 options, Reboot System now, Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache partition.

Should I go ahead with Factory reset option?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
yes
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
OKay. Selected the factory reset option which is at 99% since a while now..
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Approximately how many minutes is that? Anyone know how long a factory reset on the XT takes?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
plug the phone into the PC

hold power and volume down till you get to the bootloader

fastboot boot twrp

your data will be encrypted again - this is normal (the factory reset from stock recovery does this)

Wipe / Format Data

and reboot
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
I was able to boot to TWRP and format data. Reboot system bought me back to the EMUI recovery again. When I selected reboot from there, it again comes back to same screen. Now I have selected factory reset option again, lets see how it goes.. :D
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
No

Something is wrong

re - download the B160_Full_Update and flash it after the format data in TWRP

don't forget to Mount system / cust / data before the flash
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:
Okay. Downloading B160_Full_Update.v2.zip now from your thread - https://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-how-to-update-b130-to-b140-b150-t3555254

Damn, I wish I saw your comment there - "This means before you can restore a data backup or flash a Rom like CleanRom (it includes data) you'll need to Format Data to UN-encrypt it"

So nothing was wrong with my data partition, I was just being OCD about it..

Edit: Android file host is down for some upgrade, will try in a while..
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
I'll pm you a link to my Google drive
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cyclops13:

[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Was this with just "[Rom][12April][UnRooted] Ascend XT - Stripped_Stock B150 & B160 Rom" or did you root and install Xposed?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tmobilefan906:
This is stripped with Xposed and magisk. But settings was doing that buggy thing before installing Xposed.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
So you saw the issue where trying to bring up settings, the screen maybe flashes, but the settings app doesn't come up? And this was before Xposed? I've never seen anyone report that without Xposed, so that's interesting.

Recently, my phone (B160, rooted, Xposed/Magisk) is doing the settings won't come up issue - and now almost every time I reboot :( .

Is this related to Xposed or no?

you rooted and installed xposed on an unrooted debloated rom

and now Settings is crashing

what exactly are you expecting me to do for you by posting a log ?

if u try to return it and they show that u modified it u might not get ur money back for the phone. but what u can do with it if u want stock do stock if u want rooted debloated do that if u want fast roms pick one and find out i cant really say about returning it cause u done tampered with it.

It maybe a few days before I can test it for you.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] RN_ReFlux:
No, I was never able to resolve this. I could get calls incoming after flashing the b160 update but not after flashing any of clsa's roms. I could get calls if I restored the rr twrp backup without WiFi or if I restored his slim and fast install through twrp.

On clsa's roms if I made a call first then I was able to receive calls immediately afterwards. Seemed like maybe the dialer interface was not getting the signal to start maybe?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Once you made an outgoing call, hours later if the phone went to sleep, would it still ring for an incoming call? Do you use any third party apps for power saving, dozing, etc that could be related?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
The way I'm testing incoming calls is by calling out with the XT and then calling the number back. It works every time
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
From what [MENTION=3248490]RN_ReFlux[/MENTION] wrote, if you restart the affected phone, then after it finishes restarting, call the phone, it won't ring .......... maybe give that test a try. The test where an outgoing call is first made may be masking the problem of an incoming call not ringing for some, as I understand things.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Received calls fine even after reboot
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Just to clear things up, You only have to make one call with the phone for the phone to receive calls normally from then on.

on the first call the dialer ask for permissions and you choose allow and it works from then on.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] RN_ReFlux:
