The network won't fix even when you are in Pixys and you will have to fix it. There is a method but before that first flash Pixys OS and Gapps after that reboot to eRecovery and factory reset. Then boot ROM. After that flash TWRP and then Magisk and then you can fix signal. Also use Askuccio TWRP to flash this ROM. Search for it
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
First try to repair or change file system of Data from Advanced Wipe and then format data. Flash ROM and Gapps and then reboot to stock recovery and factory reset. Use Askuccio TWRP
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
I am sorry to bother you but maybe I need some additional help just to avoid any mistake.

I was reading the thread about Pixys Os installation but I did not understand how I am supposed to flash the rom and Gapps as I actually don't have TWRP.

Do I have to flash Askuccio TWRP first and then flash Rom + Gapps via TWRP?

Askuccio: https://sourceforge.net/projects/as...WRP-3.2.3-0-Hi6250-Askuccio-v1.0.img/download

Pixys Os: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pixys-os/files/pie/hi6250/ (I suppose the latest one dated 2018-12-03)

GApps: https://opengapps.org/ (which platform/Android/variant do I have to choose?)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
After flashing Askuccio TWRP and trying to format data, before any log messages are displayed from format data operation, I can see there are already some error messages regarding mounting data.

Even after repairing or changing file system (but choosing the same file system it already has, f2fs), it shows the same error about failing to unmount data. I have to restart into recovery again to be able to format data. But after doing the whole process again, it always ends with Encryption unsuccessful message.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Flash TWRP first followed by flashing ROM and Gapps after making wipes. For Gapps get arm64 9.0 and nano
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
That's odd. What are you doing. Tell me exactly. What's your Android version. What's your TWRP that you're using and how you trying to install
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
Flashed TWRP by Askuccio, booted into TWRP

Swiped to allow modification

Wipe

Do i have to choose advanced wipe or do I have just to "swipe to factory reset"

Assuming that it will be "normal wipe" next step would be flashing Pixyos image then normal wipe again that Gapps?

Anything else?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Okay, I finally managed to flash it and log on successfully. Cookremier's first line had me a bit confused and got me thinking to what he could mean:

So as a last option, I decided to change data partition back to ext4 file system and try flashing v2.4 one more time. If it didn't work, I'll just flash v2.3 that I know worked before and hope it still does. And it worked! In the end, changing file systems wasn't necessary at all.

Mannan Qamar and cookremier, thank you very much for your help!

Wiped normally--->flashed PIXYSOS--->Wiped normally---->Flashed Gapps---->wiped dalvik/cache

Rebooted to erecovery---> factory reset

Booted Rom and the phone asked for a password.

Having no other password I've just inserted the one of the SIM and the phone told me that it was correct but "decryption unsuccessful".

I have just a button "reset phone" on this screen which leads to nothing.

What should I do?

EDIT:

Any 4 numbers password leads to the same situation (password correc but decryption unsuccessful)

Flashed Magisk too with the same results of above.

EDIT2:

Solved the problem by TWRP -> Wipe -> Format Data -> Yes.

Rebooted and now I am stucked on PIXYSOS logo, it's a kind of Nightmare!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Did you factory reset via stock recovery? After flashing ROM you need to factory reset via stock recovery. Tell me your model number i.e are you on EMUI 8 China? If so I'll provide link. Download it and after flashing ROM and Gapps power off from Reboot and select Power off after flashing ROM and Gapps. After that boot into bootloader and flash recovery. Then fastboot reboot and while booting hold Volume Up and factory reset
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
Ok maybe I missed the passage of reflashing stock recovery rom (which I don't have). System IS BLN-AL20

So maybe it's better if we start from the scratch:

- FROM askuccio TWRP Wipe-->Format Data

- INSTALL PIXYSOS--->Wipe Cache

- INSTALL GAPPS---->Wipe Cache

POWER OFF

BOOT INTO BOOTLOADER AND FLASH STOCK RECOVERY IMAGE

VOLUME UP while booting and factory reset from erecovery

Boot Rom

Correct?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Correct. And here's the link for stock recovery.

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It doesn't support VoLTE. It also doesn't have stock camera but you will have to flash ZIP to get it. Performances great. I don't play PUBG

System starts Rom, I can see Pyxis logo animated, then it stucks on the "P" logo, after something like 30 seconds systems restarts automatically.

Again Pyxis logo animation, again "P" stucked on the screen and finally the damned "Encryption Unsuccessful" with a "resete button" useless.

Any hope to get this fixed somehow?

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Figured it out. Follow these steps

Boot to fastboot and flash Askuccio TWRP

Boot to TWRP, swipe to allow modifications

Go to Wipe, Format Data, digit yes it finishes without errors.

Press home, select reboot, and select recovery.

Once it reboots, go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe and mark

Dalvik/ART Cache

Cache

Data

Internal

System

Swipe to Wipe.bOnce that finishes go to install.

Flash Pixys OS ZIP. Once finishes, flash Gapps ZIP. Once that finishes, wipe Cache/Dalvik.

Go to reboot, power off.

Boot to bootloader, flash stock recovery. Boot to recovery by power and Volume Up. Wipe Data/Factory Reset. Then Wipe Cache and reboot. First Boot will take some time
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
Thanks for your help so far.

I followed all the passages with no results: my phone boots PixysOs, reboots automatically the first time than PixysOs logo and damned "encription unsuccesfull".

Maybe I have to disconnect the usb cable from the computer when not needed Fastboot mode?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Did you make the wipes?Well there is one more thing you can try. Have you got the update files you used to update to Oreo. Download HurUpdater from XDA and use it to manually flash Oreo. After that try to reinstall Pixys by following above guide.

To reflash Oreo via HurUpdater.

Download HurUpdater. Search for it on XDA. Place HurUpdater and the three firmware zips inside the same folder on Micro SD card. Next download Elemental ROM TWRP and flash it via fastboot.

Boot to TWRP. Go-to Wipe -> Format Data -> YES and hit enter. Once it completes, press Home, select Reboot and Recovery.

Once it reboots, go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe and mark

Dalvik/ART Cache

Cache

Data

Internal

System

Swipe to wipe. Once it finishes, go to install and navigate to folder with the ZIP files. Select only HurUpdater to flash and press Volume Down when prompted. Flashing can take multiple minutes. Once it finishes, Wipe Cache/Dalvik and reboot. When you see three options menu with Your device has been unlocked warning press and hold Volume Up to boot into eRecovery and then Wipe Data/Factory Reset. After that Format Cache. And reboot. It will take 10 minutes. Once phone boots, turn it off, boot to bootloader and then flash Askuccio TWRP. Follow above steps.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I had issues with that same Encryption unsuccessful message. What ultimately worked for me and what I recommend you do too, is go back and flash EMUI 8 Oreo. Make sure that's working properly, and then follow Mannan Qamar's guide and flash pixysos using Askuccio's TWRP.

Don't do anything that's not in the instructions! For me, after flashing pixysos and going back into TWRP, internal storage shows 0MB and there are messages "Failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)" when trying to flash magisk. Just leave it alone!

I used this guide to flash EMUI 8 on my phone.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
I should have all for the procedure with HurUpdated as I've installed Oreo in this way.

I am going to try again the procedure for installing PixysOs with the latest procedure you told me, if unsuccessfull I'll try with HurUpdater and I'll post all the logs step by step.

Thanks,

Andrea.

I am going to try HurUpdater method but before this I would like to ask If I am flashing the right version of PixysOs which is the one linked below:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pi....4-hi6250-20181202-2028-OFFICIAL.zip/download

Andrea.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Version is OK. I think after so many attempt the system doesn't know what's going on so flash stock and after that HurUpdater. Good Luck
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
I am IN!!!!!!

Figured it out! I am going to describe what was the problem for other users:

At the end of the process when you are supposed to reboot into fastboot and flash Stock recovery if you push on Shutdown from TWRP system resarts instead of shutting down and attempts to start the Os.

After few seconds as you are pressing power+volume down it access Fastboot but maybe something got messed up from the attempt to boot the Os.

Doing exactly the same procedure but asking TWRP to boot into bootloader instead of power off did not cause what described and all worked like a charm!

:)

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

System configured and it's actually importing the backup from Google.

No sim detected so maybe it's time to patch :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yes. The patch. Flash Askuccio TWRP and then latest Magisk Beta via TWRP. After that download ES File Explorer. Give it root permission and then using Root Explorer navigate to

/cust/all/cn/prop/local.prop

Open it in ES text and find the line

ro.config.full_network_support=true.

Change true to false. Save and Reboot. Good luck. And if you want stock Huawei EMUI 8.1 camera I posted few pages back
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
Ok I'll do it as soon as it will finish to recover all the apps from the Backup.

What you mean by stock huawei emui 8.1 camera? The one with PixysOs is different from the stock one?

Trying to install v2.4 and I get this :

this package is for device: hi6250; this device is lld.

Help me out
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Pixys has default AOSP camera. It can shoot photos and record videos. Only. Nothing else. Stock EMUI 8.1 camera has been ported from P20 pro. You can get it by flashing a zip in previous posts
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
ok, I'll search for and flash this emui 8.1 camera too :)

I'll update the thread at the end of the process

If i repeat the process after Wiping Cache/dalvik nothing changes...

Edit: Rebooted system and noticed Magisk Manager Application has been installed but if I check with root checker it says "no root"

If i click on Magisk Manager it asks me for a download to complete the installation

Es explorer gives me the possibility to ailitate Root explorer but I can't navigate into the indicated folder.

Edit2: completed installation of Magisk and modified the file as indicated

Rebooted

Sim Working!

Before doing mistakes for the camera do I have just to flash it using twrp or after flashing i have to perform a Cache/Dalvik wipe?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
The error is normal. But if you want to first install TWRP from Elemental ROM thread. Then flash Magisk 17.3 that should fix that.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
If it's the same I'll keep Askuccio's One.

For the camera do I have just to flash or flash and then wipe cache/Dalvik.

Another question: if for instance next week PixysOs will be updated I have to reflash the updated rom via TWRP? Will this delete my files?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It's different. And yes wipe Cache and Dalvik
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
I mean if it's the same for my purposes.

However as I wish to have a stable system if you feel is better to Flash TWRP from Elemental Rom I'll flash it.

Going to flash the camera.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
TWRP really doesn't affect system..... This TWRP doesn't have all those errors. Except failed to mount /data. That one is still present but the others are fixed
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
Flashed

Thanks a lot, it all works perfectly!

I really appreciate all the effort you are putting on this community.

Andrea.

Is PixysOs using sd card as default storage for pictures and so on or do I have to set something? If i recall correctly on Emui 5 I told the system to use the external card for pictures but here I can't find any option.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Uh. Not sure
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
Having some issues with Bluetooth: can't pair my watch with the phone.

After two tries system says that bt apps keeps stopping.

Any known issue with Bt?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
What version you flashed. The trick is that after Bluetooth starts searching for devices, after a few moments, turn off location service. Works like a charm after that
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
What you mean by which version did I flash?

PixysOs latest version if you are referral to the rom.

Unfortunately the app from my smartwatch needs localization services enabled to enable Bluetooth pairing.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
What watch is this. After the app starts to search for it then turn them off
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
Suunto 9.

If I switch off loc. Services while searching he stops and ask to turn it on.

If I wait for pairing button to appear on the app I can switch off loc. Services and start to pair but same as before system says that Bluetooth keeps stopping.

Got a question on the recovery that needs to be extracted: is it correct that I need the update.app from the main Oreo zip I flashed to go to

Oreo?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yes use Huawei Update Extractor
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
what about future updates of the rom?

How do we update the rom with a new one? Just reflashing via TWRP the new one?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Well you can either clean flash or dirty flash. Clean flash will lose all your data and Titanium or TWRP backup won't work. So you'll have to use Google to backup app data. Dirty flash will not delete your data but it may cause bugs. ROM-breaking bugs. So a clean flash is always recommended. To do a dirty flash, just Wipe System, Cache and Dalvik/ART cache from TWRP. Then, flash ROM and Gapps and reboot. In clean flash, Wipe Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, Internal and System. Flash ROM & Gapps. Then flash stock recovery and do a factory reset and then reboot.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sephiroth79:
Perfect, thank you.

Maybe I'll clean flash an updated Rom as soon as there will be a BT fix.

For the rest I have to say that the system is very stable and fast. :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Tek_No:
Got another question: how do I backup all apps and data while being on stock Oreo before going to PixysOs? So far I have been using HiSuite for this but I guess a HiSuite backup can no longer be restored when you're on PixysOS, right? I'm not rooted so cannot use Titanium Backup for this...
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hustoparek:
Ok before i flash questions - does it have ota updates or do i have to flash every new version? If i have to flash everytime with new version, is there a way to not to lose any data?

Next question - is there a Czech language?

Next question - can i use hisuite to load my backup? Apps etc?

Thank you for answers

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

I just did read the previous post.

No ota, no way without losing data, no czech language
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
OTA are apparently supported but without an update there's no way to tell. Czech language is something you'll have to test. HiSuite backup won't work. Infact HiSuite won't even detect mobile. And as far as updates are concerned you can dirty flash the builds
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Tek_No:
So what is the best way to backup all apps and data so you can restore on Pie afterwards? Any hints?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Backup app data to Google and use an app like Super Backup to take local backup of your app as apk. And Install it kater
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Notorius bunty:
Bro what r the main difference between aosp extended nd currently running pixy os is it worth flashing from pixy to aosp extended
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
AOSP Extended has more customization options. At their core you won't even notice the difference between the two. The only difference is that AOSP Extended has more customization options. But before you flash I would like to warn you that you'll lose ALL Data and there's no way around it. But yeah, AOSP is better than Pixys.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Notorius bunty:
Bro cn u explain some of the customisation which r huge like in settings menu or something else

Nd is aosp update regularly like pixy os or it takes long to have new build
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Customization you'll have to find out yourself. I am also on Pixys so I can't tell. All I can say is that it has way more customization options. As for updates, on paper, each ROM should be updated once a month with latest security patch, in this case December. Both Pixys and AOSP Extended have yet to receive it so it depends on the Developer when he updates the ROM. Both should get updated in the coming days.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Notorius bunty:
Ok thnx so in ur opinion should i stay on pixy or update to aosp cn u help me updating to aosp or u r on pixy so u cnt help me?because u r now on pixy so i cn ask any help related to pixy because i m currently using pixy bt if i go to aosp then i think its difficult for u to help me from another os m i right or no
