Use Haky's TWRP, It works flawless for me https://sourceforge.net/projects/p8...3.3.1.0-emui-8.x-prague-30072019.img/download

Make sure you install the ROM first, then Format Data, then you need to reboot into recovery and Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] F4JL0:
Hi thanks for your response.

Okay i will use this twrp :) but shouldn't I format system also before flashing new rom?

When i was flashing my Xperia 2 years ago everytime u had to format system and data partition.

Iam sorry if it's a stupid question and iam very grateful for your help.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] omega_55_lul:
Nope, don't format/wipe system partition, it will hang on "Your device has been unlocked" screen or something worse

btw, In case the ROM bootloops, flash stock recovery and Wipe Data/Cache from there
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] F4JL0:
Okey thanks for your advice.

But when it bootloops why i have to flash stock recovery? Can't I just boot to twrp recovery and use backup?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] omega_55_lul:
You can boot back to TWRP in case of bootloop, but backing up partitions such as system or data partition is broken, flashing stock recovery and wiping data/cache from there could fix the bootloop problem
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] F4JL0:
And if i try another twrp? Or it doesn't work on every version?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] omega_55_lul:
You can try other TWRP versions too, there's the Askuccio one based 3.2.3 TWRP that also works great, but I think that one has problems wiping/formating data and cache, so I'd suggest flashing stock recovery after flashing the ROM and perform a Wipe Data/Cache from there imo
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] F4JL0:
So today i wanted to start working on it. First thing you have to do is unlock bootloader but i have a problem. I have find out that Huawei no longer supports unlocking bootloader like they used to. 2 years ago i was unlocking my old p8 lite without problem. Now official way doesnt work so i have to buy unlock code but i have read that some guys bought it but it didnt work . I dont want to waste 30€ for nothing :D. So I want to ask if there is way to unlock bootloader for free or I just have to buy that code?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Notonlyeyes:
Use DC Unlocker 3/4 €
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] F4JL0:
It doesn't work on Android 8 or higher..

I don't get it. Why huawei don't give codes like they used to
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Notonlyeyes:
I can tell you that the operation was performed with DC Unlocker at a cost of 3.99 € with unlock code working on p8 lite 2017 .
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] F4JL0:
Ok

Thanks for the info and help guys.

I will try it with dc Unlocker and i will let you know if i was successful

Hello, I want to ask a question that may be stupid, I want to know if this rom is compatible with Huawei Y6II, because in other posts I have read that ROMs that are compatible with Huawei P8 Lite also work for Huawei Y6II. I am looking to update my mobile phone.

I appreciate your answers.

Hi everyone I'm now using PixysOS and i'm wondering if it's worth it to go to DotOS any suggestion from you thanks in advance
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] mrsynock:
use hisuite to downgrade to 7.

then use dc unlocker to get the code (read boot loader code)

then fastboot oem unlock ###yourcodehere###

then upgrade via the phone to 8

then install twrp and the rom

It's what i did yesterday

Btw, what about updates for this rom? The device isn't even listed on the official DotOS website...

its work on honor 8 lite (huawei p8 lite 2017) pra-la1?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] ElTonyCheese:
I managed to install the rom after one day, but it was totally worth it, the rom works very well: in P8 lite (2017)

Only two small mistakes:

-The camera in external applications such as WhatsApp, does not take the image but does not freeze, go back and take the photo again in many cases it works, if anyone knows another solution I will gladly listen to your proposals :good:

-The battery life is regular but can be improved with magisk modules.

In summary, this rom is very good, I love it, I hope to get updates quickly and thanks to its creator.

Which filesystem do your external sdcard have ?

I installed it from a exfat formatted external sdcard and the recovery in my signature with no problems.

[P8 Lite (2017) Development] dariusapostol:
It should work very well since p20 lite has hi6250 chipset. It doesn't matter if it's A-only. To install you need to remove the assert line from updater script

Have installed this rom and love it. Smooth UI and also smooth performance while playing Rogue Assault.

AOSPE 6.4 is a bit like playing with handbrakes on, your rom released that brake, so i stay with this rom for now. ;)

And i have a question about activating the flashlight via Power Button long press. Is there an option for this to set ?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] dtrail1:
I get bootloop after clean install.

Treid it twice now.

I came from Oreo (PRA-LX1C432B375), unlocked BL, FRP Unlock. Flashed TWRP, wiped system, data, cache, dalvik, flashed Rom, flashed Gapps.

Always when I try to boot it up, it shows the DotOS boot animation for a while, then restarts.

After the third reboot it shows up the eRecovery screen about "serious problems".

What did I wrong?

I am using the TWRP from Askuccio (Fixed build 3.2.3.0), is that wrong?

I'm really starting to dislike this device, when it comes to custom roms. I just had three days fixing-session because the device was messed up. FInally I got it working again, and now I cannot get this rom to work. I guess I'll stick with Oreo then.. :-/

But if anyone could tell me what I did wrong here, I'll be grateful.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Ham1do:
Flash Dot os and boot it up then go to twrp again and flash gapps
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] dtrail1:
Already tried that. Doesn't work.

I'm thinking about what is actually required? Do I have to be on EMUI 9 maybe?? There aren't any helpful hints in the OP regarding that. I came from EMUI 8, just to remember.

EDIT: It works. I flashed the rom, then re booted to fastboot mode and flashed recovery_ramdisk.img (from stock rom), performed a factory reset and wipe cache, then booted the rom. Reflashed TWRP, flashed Gapps, done :)
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Ham1do:
Emui 8 required

- Wipe system data cache dalvik & art

- Flash DotOs and boot it up

- flash gapps

The rom tested and worked for many hi6250 devices : P8L , P10L , 7X as I know
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] dtrail1:
I had to flash the stock recovery after the installation, perform factory reset and wipe cache, boot up the rom, then reflash TWRP and flash Gapps.

I know all you guys are more exprienced with Huawei/Kirin devices, as I come from totally another devices, that aren't such complicated. It took me actually a lot of additional time to gather that information (to flash stock recovery again, just to perform a "clean" wipe), etc. So it might help others a lot if you just would provide such important information in the OP or something. For newcommers it can be very confusing! ;)

Does MAgisk work with this rom?

Edit: Ok, works fine with the builds from ianmacd
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] dtrail1:
Damn, this rom is fast! Pretty stable and nice.

- Only problems I had - although minor ones - "preparing for setup" didn't continue. I had to force stop and disable it.

- I wasn't able to get GDrive to run properly, and so Whatsapp didn't want to grab my backup. However, I solved it by re-installing those apps.

This rom is working fine with Magisk / EdXposed and all modules I've tested so far.

Great work! And thx!

is it possible to dirty flash on phh based GSI roms? or should i download the stock rom then perform the installation as regularly?

is there any icon costumization without using 3rd party launcher? because I don't like the default dotOS icons.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] SpartacoVentresca:
Is anyone having problems with the gps? It works extremely random, not working 99% of times. I installed the rom on a Honor 6X, debranded to BLN L22, updated to emui 8, rooted with the latest magisk. I come from PixysOS and there wasn't any problem with the gps, I changed to DotOS because the other rom is discontinued. Can this be a gapps issue?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] dtrail1:
After one week of testing this rom I can say that it's fine as a daily driver. It's smooth and stable, works great with Magisk (Iammcd's builds) and EdXposed. Battery life is good, performance is great. Not a single bug yet... Best (Pie) rom I've been testing so far and I'll keep it!

And there's only one minor thing. I wish it had an option to change the screen resolution.

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

Nope, GPS is driver-related. I don't know the Honor 6 device, but it sounds to me that it's another hardware. I mean, isn't the prague (pra-lx1, "Prague") actually the Honor 8? I might be wrong. And if PixyOS from the P8 thread ran fine for you, then it might be an installation issue. Have you clean-flashed the rom? Otherwise consider installing it again. But this time use the stock recovery to perform a factory reset - one time before and one time after flashing the rom.

But also wipe system, data, cache, dalvik with TWRP before the flash. SO it would be this order:

1. Reboot to bootloader, flash stock recovery_ramdisk.img

2. Reboot to recovery and do a factory reset

3. Reboot to bootloader and flash TWRP

4. Boot into TWRP and wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik

5. Flash the rom

6. (OPTIONAL - if you get issues again) Reboot to bootloader and flash stock recovery again, boot to recovery and make another factory reset

7. Boot the rom up ONCE and then immediately reboot (to bootloader, if you still have stock recovery installed and flash TWPR)

8. In TWRP flash GApps (Best to use Nano or Pico GApps). Reboot, done.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] SpartacoVentresca:
IIRC the Honor 6X codename is berlin, but, as far as I know, it has the same hi6250 board as the P8 lite. Before the flash I removed PixysOS, returned to stock emui 8, did a factory reset from stock recovery and clean installed DotOS with TWRP. Clean flashing from TWRP, without the reset from stock recovery, gives a bootloop. Only thing I haven't done is the second reset from stock recovery, but back when I installed PixysOS I hadn't done it anyway and everything was fine. Howewer I will try to reinstall and I will give updates.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] RedSkull23:
Factory reset through stock recovery after flashing the ROM, then everything should go fine. That step is mandatory since that by default, Huawei devices run in encrypted mode.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] SpartacoVentresca:
I did all the installation process twice today and the gps still doesn't work. I don't think it's a hardware failure, it worked fine just three days ago with the other rom. My guess it's a lack of driver support for my phone, so now I think that a bug report is the best solution :rolleyes:
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] dtrail1:
Yes, in this case you should do that then.

Does anyone know if there's a custom kernel available that works with PIE / DotOS? I could only find "Labyrinth Kernel", but it's incompatible (gives bootloop), another one which is from 2017 and surely does not work, and there's a kernel in Honor 8 forums, but as this is based on Kirin 950 (I suppose), it is not compatible, right? But the kernel, that comes with DotOS was built in 10-2018. Is this a EMUI 9 based kernel? Or is it the EMUI 8 stock kernel? I'm thinking about creating a new one, as there doesn't exist one, and since we have sources (do we?). Kernels were my "speciality" on Android devlpmt. I would have to dig into the kirin specific driver stuff first a lot, because the last thing I did was OMAP4 based xD But if anyone with some skills in C would be interested in the same thing, we could team up and build one with the goal of having good performance with best energy savings.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Chueven:
I'm stuck at Preparing for setup... I've tried nano and micro gapps, mini is too big for the system partition. I-ll try now with pico, although i think they're too small.. limited.

[P8 Lite (2017) Development] ncc1977d:

ROM REVIEW

I've been trying this ROM for almost a week and I really have to say it's so good. I've tried AOSPExtended too for couple of months but I think this DotOS is better in many ways. Camera is loading fine and fast, the UI is a little bit more aesthetical, the rom is swift and not too heavy for the internal storage. Also, it's Official, so it'll get updates without the need of flashing, and that's really nice. Keep up the good work!! and thanks a lot for the ROM
