[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] ZB2016:
UPDATE ... got it back to life, at least partly. The only thing is, that constantly the android adaptions of Huawei is making it unnecessary complex or is stopping progress at all. This is the log of my actual tasks. Key to progress was the unlocking of the system fs, which has some inconsistencies in the file system. In general, it gives me a 7X, that boots and I can install apps via HiSuite. Nevertheless I have no idea how to deal with Gapps. If I install opengapps, I will not be able to register an account - just hangs for a long period and then comes back (are there any logs written on the device to analyze a bit deeper?). Gapps without an account maks no sense. So I tried it without opengapps but with installing play services via HiSuite, granting rights, rebooting twice, installing Playstore, granting rights, rebooting twice, but starting Playstore after this procedure just tells me, that gms has to be installed (which in fact is already).

Any hint?
