[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] topnomi:
I was able to get twrp booted, but had issues backing up system & data

its mentioned elsewhere, but i didn't see mentioned here. this twrp is unable to read the /sdcard partition (internal storage), so you have to use a microsd card (external_sdcard).

My Process: (BND-L24 USA Honor 7x Oreo)

in bootloader:

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrpimgmount_ramdisk.img

then reboot phone into recovery by holding both volume buttens + power

(i guess the ramdisk is loaded instead of the stock recovery)

once in twrp, i backed up the MANY partitions to my microsd card.

the backup failed for 2 partitions:

1) Data

createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255

2) System

failed at 87%, no error in the backup log, however the log was speckled with

unable to find partition for path '/system'

UPDATE: i was able to backup system using the file "complete_twrp_ramdisk.img" attached to this thread.

Other notes regarding this TWRP:

Computer doesn't see phone via USB

TWRP reports "no OS installed"

TWRP cannot read /sdcard (internal storage)

I look forward to trying future versions, and would be happy to help test things on my device if devs don't have this specific model.
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Sudeep Duhoon:
Computer doesn't see phone via USB - Known bug

TWRP reports "no OS installed" - Intentional, it has to work like this.

TWRP cannot read /sdcard (internal storage) - Your internal sd is encrypted and this twrp has no decryption support
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] topnomi:
:)

one further note, using the "complete_twrp_ramdisk.img" TWRP was able to see the installed OS, and offered to install the TWRP app.

What does this mean?

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

I couldn't get it to backup. It always fails at data or system (If I don't select data).

Tried both images.

how can i flash the stock recovery? i was able to brick my device

Edit: nvm i fixed it
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Thetpcguy:
Hi, I'm glad to report that although the first recovery that is twrpimgmount_ramdisk.img failed to backup system as I got the same error message as above but I was able to flash some other partitions like kernel, recovery etc... I actually selected a bunch of them.

Anyway most importantly after flashing the complete_twrp_ramdisk.img, I was able to backup system successfully. I'm using the Indian variant BND AL10 MODEL. I hope this helps some one out there.

I have a dumb question: Now, that the system is backed up with twrp, if I mess up my phone ever, can I simply restore this system img and be able to boot back into the os? Do I need to install any other partitions? I don't care about data. Please let me know.
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Thetpcguy:
Hi, I flashed this complete_twrp_ramdisk.img and now I want to go back to stock recovery of oreo which is bnd_recovery_nocheck.img from the other post. I tried using adb and it fails. I tried using the this twrp but it shows a lot of partitions to choose from and I'm confused example: ramdisk recovery, recovery_vendor, recovery_ramdisk etc... there are sooooooo many. I tried recovery_vendor and also ramdisk but it doesn't work. Can you please tell me how to install the stock recovery?
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ManuelQ:
Does anybody have a BND-L21 backup of the system partition?

[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Thetpcguy:
Can someone tell me how to install stock recovery after installing the above complete_twrp_ramdisk.img as I'm unable to flash using adb. I tried "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and also "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img" I tried flashing the BND_recovery_nocheck.img from the other post which is a stock one.

I also tried flashing it using this twrp to the partition recovery_ramdisk and gives the error saying "the size is larger than the device" Please someone help.

I have tried couple times to install new release

But I can only get to twrp splash screen.

OP change-log has no information about this new release, so maybe is still not ready.

telegram group has mention of this , but did not help Yet.

**EDIT**

It was suggested by DEV in telegram to just be patient and try again. This third time installed 4-7-2018 released version it loaded right into recovery, without any delay.

Don't know if it is coincidence or not but before I was on RRos ROM. and now I am back on EMUI 8

what are the 2 images with dates for? twrp_ramdisk_oreo_19-4-18.img and twrp_ramdisk_oreo_7-4-18.img?

i tried flashing both in twrp after using fastboot to flash the inistial ramdisk and neither one boot into recovery they get stuck at the twrp splash screen but the image labeled complete_twrp_ramdisk.img boots fine.
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mrmazak:
Afaik they are test builds (ports) of data decryption enabled twrp.

I had them working when on the Oreo beta but cannot get to work on RR or the new official Oreo.

I thought I was uninstalling the calculator app from my previous phone (I used Smart Switch). Now I don't see the calculator button on the quick settings panel. The calculator app is working normally.

Can I install/add the calculator shortcut to the quick panel somehow? FYI, it's not on the hidden shortcuts from the panel.

Thanks.

Thank you. And for now the only option to install Oreo manually is the LineageOS 15 ROM?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] J.Michael:
When TWRP is used to "install" a ZIP file, will it copy some files to the boot partition?

I made a bootable SD-card. I had a problen getting CyanoBoot to "INT BOOT". I resolved the problem by replacing the flashing_boot.img in the boot partition, which I had originally extracted from the cm11.zip, with another version. Recently, I found that I was once again using the flashing_boot.img from cm11.zip. This was soon after using TWRP, both trying to restore the internal, stock, system from a backup; and re-installing the SD-card system.

I'm wondering whether any time I install cm11.zip, I will have to then replace the flashing_boot.img in the boot partition. Or should I be looking elsewhere for the cause of this file reversion?

(I know I could also modify the zip file. Right now I'm trying to understand what I did that triggered the problem.)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
So one of the main features of Oreo was to make the device boot up faster, most articles stated that Google said they'd cut boot times in half, anyway I haven't heard mention of it with any models of the V30, has anyone personally noticed any difference, I know the V30 already booted quite quick but what's your experience, have you noticed any difference? :good:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] bilbo60:
Not at all. In fact, except for some menu changes I don't find much of anything that sticks out as different.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Hmm, maybe the boot time was quick enough as it is, hopefully if they can get 8.1 rolled out before the end of the year then we'll see further improvements.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cazcryy:
I got mine a while ago and this wasn't one of the things i knew to look for, and I can't say I've really noticed a difference then or since. Hoenstly it's been fast enough so no complaints

Yes as the hardware is same. And its a completely new base 8.0

can any one help i have indian version of honor 7x i installed oreo manually and now my phone is dead in this oreo rom how do i fix it

plss help
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Thetpcguy:
Hi, I have unlocked bootloader and twrp installed. I tried this method for almost 6 hours but couldn't get it to work. I downloaded those 3 files and placed in the SD card and and pasted the commands (without inverted commas, I'm using Mac Terminal) but when at 1 o 2% it says software update failed. I'm using Indian variant BND AL10.

For each command, does it show any response? because when I type these commands, nothing really happens so I kept entering all three commands and fished the bed recovery. When I downloaded to Mac there were not in .zip so I compressed them to .zip them if it matters.

I looked at all the possible ways so just mentioning everything that may help solve the problem. Can you guys elaborate for the noobs?

UPDATE: I was earlier using the other TWRP version but installed the TWRP given in this post and it worked BUT...BUT...BUT everything went the same as I said above but it started updating software and failed at around 70% and when it booted it is now on the EMUI 8.0 Oreo with all the same settings like theme and all from emui 5.0.

How is this possible? it failed at 70% but booted fine and running the Oreo version? Can I refresh this again repeating same steps? I'm totally confused.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Air Dronzer:

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] zzkeier:
Could somebody help me?

Sorry for my poor English.

I forgot to flash bnd.img to revovery2.

Then I reboot.It shows that installation failed.And seems like the partition is wrong.So i cant restore my devices by erecovery and hisuite.I can get into fastboot.

Could somebody help me?Please.:crying:
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Thetpcguy:
I gave all three commands and only after that I flashed that BndNocheckRecovery then it started installing the update but at 70% it failed but everything is working fine. When I go to about page the build no. is still BNDAL10C675B141 and when I click on system update, it crashes. I don't see face unlock, the Firmware size is about 7.98GB. it's really strange.

I just want to know if there is a way I can repeat the process of installing this. I can't flash TWRP but I saw a recent post in which they are talking about twrpimgmount_ramdisk.img but I didn't try it as some people reported it's not working. I'm wondering if I can flash twrp and then take back up of at least system, boot (these are enough for os to start and work normally?) so I can repeat the entire installation process again from scratch so that it gets fully 100% installed. My wild guess is that two of the downloaded files were downloaded to Mac directly without zip so I compressed them in Mac and maybe that's causing failure but only BNDL22.zip was directly downloaded to my android phone. so I'm wondering if I download the other two files also directly to my android device it might work. What do you think? Sorry for not being concise.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] SVR:
Yep. You recompressing the already compressed file is creating this issue. What will happen if you just add .zip extension to the files downloaded by MAC.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Thetpcguy:
Thanks for your reply and whoa!! so that's what wasted almost my 6 hours and caused lot of frustration. Such a shame. Anyway, so I had the same doubt so that's why I re downloaded only 1 file which is BNDL22.ZIP to my phone directly but the other two files were the same Mac compressed ones and that's why it got stuck at 70%.

If you look at my first post before (Before I added update) I was saying that the installation was failing at 1% (Basically it wasn't installing)

so re downloading that one file let me update only to 70%. Now, I guess I should have downloaded the other two files or as you said simply put .zip extension so that everything would have gone just fine.

So, I flashed TWRP and backed up using that complete_twrp_ramdisk.img from other post but I don't know if I can root it using supersu which I used in my nougat version. Can I do that ? after that I want to repeat the same process from scratch. Now, without root, the adb shell command is not working on my Mac with the phone.

Could you please suggest me any solution? Again, thanks for your expert advice.
