[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Secure.eyes:
Another option

Since you have twrp you are in good shape.

What you need to do first is download the files to an sd card from

https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/development/rom-t3641267 (unoficial.zip and vendor IMG. --opengapps is optional and can be done later)

Step two download the .zip from https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/development/rom-t3641768 (pa_berlin - same thing with open gapps again)

Now if you still have adb tools on your computer you are good.

You need to now put the SD card in the phone and boot to TWRP. Go to wipe and click advanced wipe, and select everything except internal memory and external sd card.

Now, Click on install and find the FIRST RROS zip you downloaded and install that.

Now, go back to the install and install the vendor img. Then go back and go to the file manager and locate that vendor image and copy it then paste it to the SD Card that is on the internal memory, not the external SD card that it is already on.

Now, plug your phone into your computer and open your adb tools command prompt. More than likely it will not show up as a connected device and you will have to tinker around twrp and try adb sideload and if it doesn't work try shell fastboot reboot fastboot and so on. Eventually you will find an area that will allow adb commands.

When you do, type... adb shell

dd if=/sdcard/vendor.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor

Now unplug your phone and wipe cache and dalvik and reboot back to twrp. You could reboot your system but it will not boot all the way up but installing this first allows you to install the next set of downloads and your phone will work.

Now that you are back in TWRP click install and find the second zip you downloaded (pa_Berlin) and install it. Wipe cache and dalvik. And reboot system. Your phone will now boot up.

If you enjoy google apps download open gapps and install it in TWRP. The Pico version only has play store , so you can install what you want.

Have fun.

Look some post above dude, he solved. :)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jose.marcos.rf:
I'm in a similar situation as the original post, but the /vendor and /prodcut partitions appear as being 0MB and no matter what they always fail to be mounted when using TWRP.

I can do every step you mention but not the installation of vendor.img from TWRP as the partition cannot be mounted.

Do you by any chance know would a solution be to get /vendor mounted and follow fully your steps?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Tried Dload method? I was in similar situation when it was 0 MB. Dload worked for me to revive my device.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jose.marcos.rf:
I'll give it a go once more, remember trying and having some trouble but will try again and come back with, hopefully, good news. fingers crossed. :)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jose.marcos.rf:
I have a bit of complication to get to the Dload method.

In the process of flashing the custom ROM I did the usual custom recovery installation, i.e.: TWRP.

What happens now is that I can't get into eRecovery. I could flash eRecovery from adb and try dload method but currently, the phone doesn't respond to any combination of keys at boot.

Doesn't get into bootloader by pressing power+down nor TWRP by pressing power+up, I can only get into TWRP after the message stating that the "phone has been unlocked and cannot be trusted" and pressing up key. And regarding bootloader I can only get there when in TWRP and by adb doing: "adb reboot bootloader"....

I guess there are not many options left at this point...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] ETUBALADOJR:
hi. just wanted to share this:

Reason why the DLOAD method didn't work:

It is because DLOAD method is a stock rom and you should have the stock recovery (not the twrp recovery) to be able to succeed in this method.

How to return to stock recovery:

1. Download the official Android OS for your device. - (google it pls)

2. Download the Huawei Extractor. - (google it pls)

3. Extract the "Recovery.img" . - (how? google it pls)

4. Install "Recovery.img" via TWRP or Fastboot. - (how? google it pls)

5. And proceed to the DLOAD method.

Hope it works. got a lot of practice in my old phone (huawei 5x) :)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Thanks for the quick steps.

But i mentioned dload for a reason coz for me, it has worked on twrp. The full firmware image flash the stock recovery also first and then update. No need to flash a stock recovery. I haven't flashed stock but was able to revive my phone 30+ times i messed up without any recovery or twrp or stock..just fastboot amd erecovery. I can do this on anyday i mess without any recovery working.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] ETUBALADOJR:
Good to know that Sir :)

[MENTION=6138407]Lowryderen[/MENTION], you can try both of our method. Good luck :)

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Life Engineer:
Hello.

So i have a chance to trade my used s7 edge for a used mate 9. I'm a bit bored with my s7 edge and looking for a new experience.

Will I regret it?? Anyone did this move?! Any recommendations?! Real life experiences?!

Thx.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] catalindobre:
I'm coming from S7, so I can share a bit of experience. Battery life not much an improvement ~4-6 hours SOT, depending on your usage scenario, games and videos tend to suck more battery than other phones (this is specific to Kirin SOC's). Speed and smoothness are still the same since the beginning , maybe improved through updates, it's not stellar but still one of the bests, in top 5 for speed for sure. Definitely better than S7 for speed matters. Dual camera is a nice feature to have, overall camera is good, but not execellent (much better than Oneplus 3T, which I've experienced). Coming from an S7 the low light will disappoint you a little particularly on moving subjects. One thing that should make you think twice is that updates come-out very slow on Huawei. Other than that everything is fine, maybe less errors and glitches that I've experienced on Samsung and the big screen experience is not matched by any other phone.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Flowchan:
Hello! First of all, i would say that i am currently running Omni 6.0.1 ROM.

I also have tried CM13, Lineage OS 14.1, Omni (6.0.1, 7.1.X), KEM ROM, AOSP.

What i want is a rooted stock Sony ROM (6.0.1) not Nougat because the lack of the possibility of installing Xposed framework. Any guides and ROM's are appreceated. My device again: Sony Xperia X Compact (F5321, KUGO).

BTW tried flashing 6.0.1 ftf and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img but result was a bootloop and TWRP. I am running a stock kernel (and i do not wish to modify that). Thanks and please reply!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] qvmuhuuxz:
use flashtool to downgrade to marshmallow, choose the earliest version you see in xperifirm. (maybe the jounalist rom etc, no problem in using that i believe)

basically just follow this guide, but use an older fw so that you get mm :)

https://xdaforums.com/x-compact/how-to/android-pay-safety-net-rooted-unlocked-t3610342

oops. you said you tried this, but it gives you a bootloop.

did you try wiping data/system all that stuff, because i would not be surprised if you bootloop after downgrading, without wiping some stuff :)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Flowchan:
Hi qvmuhuuxz! Pretty sure it's not your real name! If i downgrade, it is ok and no bootloop, but if i try to reinstall twrp and boot to twrp to flash SuperSU it says that it succeeded but if i try to boot after that then there either is no root or bootloop occurrs. Ideas?

BTW tried Resurrection Remix and i was dissapointed because Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, Camera etc. didn't work...

JIC i made a nandroid backup so if i mess sth. up it is ok. I had an Galaxy Express 2 with RR and i loved it. Shame :(

Anywhoo i will try again to just install twrp and boot to system, i haven't tried it yet...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] qvmuhuuxz:
Hi, assuming your data is unencrypted...? (actually TWRP can handle XC's encrypted data with Marshmallow, but not nougat - so if you are playing with 6.0 it shouldn't matter encrypted or not)

It sounds like the problem is SU.

Yes please try to reboot after installing TWRP.

I recommend Magisk, it worked great for me.

Flash Magisk v12 instead of SU and install the apk for Magisk Manager 4.3.3.

I can't recommend the latest version of Magisk because it doesn't work for me the few times I tried to upgrade. v12 works perfectly..

Let me know how you get on. :) I have working Android Pay, everything is good.

Magisk v12 - https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/archive/v12.0.zip

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Flowchan:
Hello there with good news, Magisk 13 worked flawlessly and i got xposed framework working too. I guess there was a problem with the SuperSU package, although i downloaded several packages. Anyway super duper thanks for the help. I appriciate it! I have a question, is there some advanced themes for XC too (MM) that is? I tried MIUI theme but with no luck. Thanks!

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] kekistaneerefugee:
Xposed for Nougat is out, I upgraded from Marshmallow and have no complaints other than substratum not working on Nougat for Xperias. If you need a working Marshmallow I have my copy of .198 here- https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx5gPVuLapkKTU1vOHVsLTMzWGc

Use flashtool 9.22.3 for marshmallow or else it wont work. The Androplus kernel with drm patch doesnt patch drm correctly either so you need to make your own with ta_poc. You HAVE to run a modified kernel to be able to make modifications to system and to be able to boot up TWRP, no way around that. Thats why I build my own with ta_poc using the stock kernel.

BTW STOP using SuperSU, its been sold to a chinese company and is no longer open source, use magisk, you probably want to pass safetynet as well since Google is cracking down on root.

[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
i got my vox a month ago and i love the design. probably the only smartphone design out there that looks as good as it does. But the problem i'm having with it is the performance level...i've had it lock up on me, sometimes it takes forever to load a simple task such as my text messages. I love the phone design to death, is there a phone that keeps this slick design but performs just as well? I know htc released a s730, but really? lol come on, its bigger, contains the same amount of ram, faster processor but still...

Or is it time i move to a pocket pc? do they perform better than smartphones? Or am i looking at this entirely from the wrong view, is it windows mobile thats causing this? is there away i could change the OS installed, maybe like the OS pocketpc's run? I'm not new to all this, but I would like some input and what everyones feeling, or if anyone is feeling the way I am. thanks again guys, looking forward to your responses :D

p.s. if you have any recommendations on devices i should look at, please let me know cause I might start looking for something new
[HTC Vox] matrix77:
One solution is to overclock your vox.

For me is very frustrating, slow opening of new SMS, too!

I don't know any other way to speed up your device.
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
ya i have it overclocked to 252 mhz, there is a improvement but why does it take so long to send a sms? not to mention the amount of steps that need to be taken to do so, open messaging, text messages, new, have to open contact list (which takes a while) then select a contact, select their mobile number, hit enter, then finally start typing.

I was looking at the iphone, and some reviews off youtube, the phone seems really responsive and fast, anyone with any suggestions? wondering if that might be a good step up?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
You can start typing the name you want to write to on homescreen so the contact shows up. Then with left/right arrows select SMS, when you open it it goes directly to sending a SMS to this contact, same applies to the phone book and it will stay that way.
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
wow that is alot faster! didnt know that, makes texting a whole lot faster. guess i've been doing it the long way, hence the bitter taste its left. question, is windows mobile operating system more efficient than what the pocketpcs have installed?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
For me that's really the most interesting thing in the iPhone, the fact that its interface is so fluid, everything seem to load fast :). It seems really less frustrating to use. The only problem for me is that it is not as easy to tweak it as is windows mobile. Too bad windows mobile 7 still is a long time ahead..
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
But at least Windows Mobile 6.1 is due for the first quarter 08, let's hope that it will bring some improvements!

The thing about the MacOS X and the iPhone is that it's only designed for a couple devices, so it's very customized for these. Windows and Windows Mobile is made for thousands of different machines, so problems are just inevitable. :D
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Speed improvements would be great indeed :) But my hopes are not very high :D
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
i think we've peaked in terms of performance and speed with the vox, the iphone GUI is amazing not to mention how flawlessy it flows from one application to another. Only thing I can give iphone a hard time for is it doenst seem homebrew friendly.

So that being said, would you guys recommend/suggest a vox ->iphone upgrade? or just stick with the vox?
[HTC Vox] Rolandh:
Sick with the Vox and try the lates official HTC ROM, it's available on the XDA-developers ftp site. I fashed my Vox to it yesterday and it is alot faster than the original Vox ROM and is slightly smaller aswell leaving more RAM free to install apps like facade and PhoneAlarm.

[HTC Vox] spiralinfusion:
I also didn't like how long it took to open messaging and start a new text message. Its the main reason I overclocked my s710. Here's a couple of other things that I came across while trying to improve messaging speed. Working in combination, they made a huge difference for me:

1. overclocked to 252mhz

2. place a shortcut in your \windows\startup folder with the following commands:

58#"\Program Files\load.exe" -hide "\Windows\tmail.exe"

81#"\Program Files\load.exe" -hide "\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to ""-body""

Opens the messaging app in the background on startup. Opens a new blank text message on startup. Requires load.exe to be able to open in the background. Since it is already open in the background, you can access messaging instantly. Whatever method you choose to open a new text message will also be faster since their is already a blank open text message in the background.

3. I like the method mentioned above of typing the contact then selecting Send Text Message. Another method that is just as fast is to create a shortcut to your blank open text message and place it in your Program Files folder (or wherever, I have mine as a shortcut in my facade launcher bar). The shortcut contains the same new text message command as above (just without using load.exe to hide it in the background):

49#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to ""-body""

Opening this brings you directly to your blank text message, just select your contact and start typing.

Hope this helps!
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
wow! god thats amazing, loads instantly :|! and its even more amazing that your a junior member, did you read this somewhere? if not, cudos to you, thanks a lot loving that small tweak ALOT! appreciate it. hopefully more people read this.

Wish there was a program that ran more tweaks to help smartphones performance
[HTC Vox] spiralinfusion:
After figuring out tmail.exe was the messaging app, I kinda just played around with that and load.exe (found in "how to pimp your s710" thread on Modaco.com) to see what would happen. After that I came accross that command to open a new blank text message on some random tweaks page. Had to try it out with load.exe too. Glad I did :). Simple stuff can make a big difference. My last phone was a simple Nokia 6133 flip, and I could access text messaging or a new text message within a second of opening the phone...not really that important, but I wanted that streamlined access to messaging with the s710. I think these little tweaks make it pretty close.
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
i've created the shortcut, but for some reason it doens't load....my question is when i tried to run tmail manually from file explorer it loads up the messaging center, and not straight into text messages (option 1 of the text messaging center). now i was curious if theres a way we can get text messaging loaded directly
[HTC Vox] spiralinfusion:
now I get what you were saying in your PM, you want to go directly to the text messaging section of tmail.exe. Try this:

35#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS"

Put this in a shortcut. When you open it, it should take you to your text messages.
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
perfect thanks :D, will try it and let you know. thanks again

Guys do you think its worth it to trade xiaomi mi5 32gb for xiaomi a1?

You think its an upgrade?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] fpozar:
A1's biggest selling points are dual cameras and stable stock ROM. Now, mi5 even 32 gb should be faster than a1, but on the other hand, a1 offers expandable storage and more ram. Personally, after 2 years of using redmi note 3 (first mediatek then pro 32/3 gb) i have gotten a but sick of the large screen (it's good and all but I have bought a tablet so I don't watch youtube on my phone any more) and I really missed the physical samsung-style button. I personally would not upgrade since I have the 64 gb mi5 variant, but you decide for yourself. I have a feeling the smaller screen will suit me during the following year (and a half perhaps). Also, mi5's custom roms are well developed by now and should be fully stable (sorry didn't try them yet, i'm waiting for the tempered glass and case to arrive), mixed with the nova launcher prime you can get full pixel experience just like with a1. We even have the port of the google's hdr+ camera app which should in theory compare to the stock miui camera.

In conclusion, I personally wouldn't upgrade, but if storage and better cameras are what you prefer over slight performance bump, and you fancy bigger screens, then absolutely go for it, especially if you don't have to pay for the switch.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] RootNightmareX:

Idk about battery, a1 has bigger screen but slower soc, so i really cant tell which would have better battery life, my guess is around the same. Performance is on the mi5's side, xda support should be around the same too but a1 doesn't really need custom roms
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] RootNightmareX:
Isnt dual camera on cheap phones just a gimmick? Saw a lot of.comparsions on mi5 vs 5x/a1 and mi5 looked better..
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] fpozar:
Haha I really don't know then, see comparisons and decide for yourself. Now that you mentioned it, it very well may be a gimmick. Paying additional 30-40$ in my opinion isn't worth it. You seem like you aren't too happy with the mi5, what's the deal breaker?
