ALL IN ONE GUIDE : Check it out here. It contains every thing in detail all the way from bricked device -> EMUI 2 -> EMUI 5 -> EMUI 8 -> AOSP 10 (mentioned in this post). Thanks to @lmaohelp for his effort and describing everything in detail.

Useful Information :

What on the Earth is meant by Vanilla android? -> it is the stock / pure version of android without Google apps and services.​

What is OpenGapps? Check it out at OpenGapps.org!​

What is Nano (not the mathematical 10^-9) Gapps? It is a version of Gapps with Minimal installation which means only the core part of gapps is installed with very little major apps. They can be installed later.​

What is ARM64? it is a 64 bit operating system/platform.

What on the moon is AOSP? It stands for android open source project which is the purest form of android.

NOTE : My device bootlooped whenever I tried installing Magisk. So, better stick with the PHH-SuperUser that you get out-of-the-box with the system image.

NOTE : Skip every step with gapps if you are already using img with gapps.

What isn't working :

VoLTE (can't be fixed as per my knowledge), Camera (FIXED NOW | trying to find a fix, replacing libcamxxx could help), Flashlight (FIXED NOW | also trying to find a fix, fixing camera may fix this too).

CAMERA AND TORCH HAVE BEEN FIXED. Thanks to @Hami_Do (flash the attched patch file whenever you are bored, LOL)

What's Working :

Everything except the ones mentioned above VoLTE.

*Tell me if something else isn't working.

***If you have a bricked device/messed up somewhere during the process and unable to figure out what to do, follow this guide by @lmaohelp .***​

Procedure :

Make sure your device is running EMUI 8.​

Extract downloaded image using some xz extractor(7zip can also do this), copy it to pc.​

Reboot your device to TWRP recovery.​

Format the data partition {Wipe > Format data > type "yes"}​

(Optional) In TWRP, choose wipe > advanced wipe > select system, data, cache and DALVIK and format them.​

Check if your device is detected by adb using

adb devices

.​

Move the img file using adb to device

adb push -p *img-name*.img /sdcard/

(the img file must be in adb directory).​

(Optional, only if you want nano gapps over vanilla) Move Gapps in the same manner

adb push -p *gapps-name*.zip /sdcard/

(the zip file must be in adb directory).​

Install img as system image {Install > Install Image > Select > Choose system image > Swipe➡}.​

(Optional, only if you want nano gapps over vanilla) Unmount and Remount system partition. Go to wipe > advanced wipe > Choose system > resize. Flash gapps.​

Flash stock recovery(also available in attachments) with twrp in the same way. push it with adb using

adb push -p STOCK_RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img /sdcard/

and flash it with twrp as "Recovery" after choosing install image.​

Disconnect your device from PC and reboot to recovery(stock one).​

Clear cache partition and perform a factory reset(You'll get an error during factory reset but you have to do it) (your device will bootloop if wiped with twrp itself).​

Reboot, Cross your fingers 🤞 and wait.​

>If you flashed gapps over vanilla, the first boot would take about 5 mins. else, it would be very fast. Subsequent boots on both are quite fast.

>Sometimes, I observed that flashing gapps from internal storage caused bootloop(this is because of corrupt zip), in such case get back to EMUI 8, repeat the process by flashing gapps from micro sd.

*you'll get a warning that something wrong with your device every time you boot it. IGNORE IT.
