You should do the oreo version, if your were on the global oreo ROM. After that you can try the pie version, if nothing works don't worry you can do a backup of your data from twrp to your computer and flash a custom ROM or the chinese Pie version, which is recommended. With root access you can easily debloat the chinese ROM and with AdAway you can disable all communications pointing to chinese servers or websites. I also found these. Maybe you can give them a try.
[General Topics] kcire_eae:
After a few hours I was finally able to install the "Chinese stock rom", although I struggled, since the files of the "rom" of the l58041 do not quite coincide with the "stupdroid" tutorial and some files have two different versions, something like that:

here I chose the "ddr" .

prog_emmc_firehose_xxxx_ddr.mbn (.elf). prog_emmc_firehose_xxxx.lite.mbn (.elf).

here I chose the "retain_userdata".

rawprogram0.xml. rawprogram0_retain_userdata.xml.

and in qfil "Flat Build", however I don't know if it was the right thing because at the beginning I was asked for a password ("but that's another topic").

To add a language (without root), use local more apk.

"https: // c. mi. com / thread-2098669-1-0.html"

To root the "radiationofthenation" thread worked me.

I'm glad it is working for you now. Yes, you are right the tutorials flap at some points, but there are other tutorials which you can follow and make it work. For the first time I was struggling with the restoration, too. You will see, that the chinese ROM is quite good, you just have to uninstall the bloatware and disable spying DNS requests.
[General Topics] kcire_eae:
Ohh, explain more about spying. And also if you know something about the message that Android told me when I start. I remember that I flashed twrp.img using "fastboot", and when I asked for a password to decrypt, it only allowed me to clear cache and dalvit cache (I did wipe), and when I started again I showed a message saying that I was encrypting and a percentage, just here, I interrupted the process by turning off the cell phone, and flashed again with qfil (download). So when I start I just remember that I said something about the cell phone being restored and then I could restore the copy with my Google account. So what I think is that when the message of "TO START ANDROID ENTER YOUR PASSWORD" is displayed, it may work to interrupt or perhaps to put the incorrect password many times to automatically reset or also choose "rawprogram0.xml" in qfil (but I did not dare because it deletes it the information related to the imeil and the signal or at least that says some comments ). Now there is only one who can interpret what happened and to have clearer the restoration process, the rom seems to me very much the problem of the language is solved with "more local", I am from Mexico (At & t).

Hello

I HAVE a LOT of great news. I have the Official Global Firmware

Lenovo L58041 8.1.0 android

version 3.9.062ST

I do not bring any responsibility for your mobile

Whatever happens is at your own responsibility.

If you are in what new version it would be good to downgrade the system.

by 8.1.0 version (123rd last)

The way you can install firmware image:

With TWRP and the restoring Backup

Device doesn't open and stuck to the logo.

The best way to open the device is

To install the image files from the TWRP folder

system_image.emmc.win

boot.emmc.win

firmware._image.emmc.win

vendor_image.emmc.win

TWRP problems

I'm having trouble installing TWRP. I unlocked the device, but it erased everything on the phone.

When I try to install the img file, the image error appears:

- FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed)

What can it be? :eek:
[General Topics] Halwer:
Hi,

If your phone is erased, then you can lose nothing, if you do a full QFIL restore and try again. The bootloader unlock shouldn't have erased your phone. It's strange.
[General Topics] kcire_eae:
hello friend , thank you so much, a long time ago i tried get root, twrp,etc, and i lost my ROM, so i had to install the chinese Rom and i rooted using manual magix patch.

the first i need is get Twrp, but the signal comentary is worry me.

[General Topics] matt.j.roell:
Make sure that you have a SIM card in the phone and it's connected to a mobile network, with the SIM card in I had to wait 2 days before I could unlock. Before that every time I tried to unlock, I got the same error message.

[General Topics] server1980:
Hi!

I tried and the microphone error still persisted. But since I was at it, I took the opportunity to try the installation again using QFIL.

All the previous times, I got the Sahara connection error (using the global rom), but then I decided to try another image "2018-01-01--20-18-36_OPM1171019026_dev-keys" and now it has worked.

It is the ZUI version, and it only has English and Chinese (originally the cell phone came with multiple languages). But all the functions work perfectly and with that I am satisfied, I was close to giving this cell phone for lost. Thank you!

witch is the best gsi rom for this smartphone???

thanks
[General Topics] Halwer:
Hello!

For the last couple of months I use developer eremitein's custom GSI builds.

Link to his GitHub Wiki.

I can recommend LOSQ, which is based on LineageOS, it is very nice and stable with fair customizability options.

I use crDROM right now. It is more customizeable, than LOSQ, if you are into that.

CAOS is the most barebones version of phhusson's builds and I don't recommend that.

BLESS was not my cup of tee to be honest, just like qiDroid, but maybe you will like them. :)

Hey guys, I have a question regarding to the Global ROM. As you see in TWRP you can only flash ZIP files or IMG files.

However, the Global ROM is a 7z file. I tried to extract the folder and zip it, but then I am not able to copy it to my phone because it has more than 5GB (I guess that is the reason).

So my question is: How can I flash a 7z file in TWRP? thank you
[General Topics] Halwer:

From where did you download the global ROM? Are you sure that it has to be flashed through TWRP? Usually that big archives (~5GB) should be extracted and flashed through QFIL.

You can download a Linux Distribution from the Windows Store and try with that again. Before you do that you have to enable Windows Subsystem for Linux in the Control Panel. Did you try to run the cmd.exe as an admin? Yes, you might be right I also suspect a driver problem here.

Hello all, quick question here.

So, I've tried out Havoc-OS 4.5 the other day and android 11 seems to be working nicely with this phone. I am wondering if anyone had any luck with magisk rooting on 11? I tried the linked custom one but now stuck in bootloop, need to reflash boot.img from stock ROM I believe. I was going to try other Magisk versions later tonight after I fix this soft-brick.

Thanks in advance.
[General Topics] Halwer:
If it is not working with the official Magisk, maybe you could still try the Canary or the Beta channel. There are also so called ,,phh-magisk" versions, sometimes they work when other versions don't.

Sorry, but first of all how did you manage to flash and Android 11 GSI on this phone? I simply cannot disable AVB, since no vbmeta.img was present in the stock ROM folder. I extracted the vbmeta partition with QFIL and flashed it, but it still didn't work.
