Hello, friends!
It's been a really long time after my Q900 and X3D-SE...
For those who are having trouble with Asus Fonepad 7 2014 FE170CG in terms of softbrick, kindly take some time to read this thread.
I am currently on Latest Kitkat with version: 11.2.3.33
1.) In terms of Rooting(Offcourse YES, this tab is rootable) i rooted this device with Rootzenphone.apk(attached below). Kindly follow the tutorial here to root the device. When it doesn't get rooted in first time, repeat it. I got it rooted at 1st time itself. After rooting, i removed all the apps i don't need!
2.) To update your Fonepad, download the appropriate zip firmware(zip rom) from the Asus site. Download the matching SKU's only. For eg: WW-WW, CN-CN, JP-JP etc... And i really don't know about installing CN firmware over WW variants. After downloading, rename your file accordingly. Eg: UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip to k012_sdupdate.zip and put the file in the root of external SD card. Time to backup all your critical data! Finally switch off your tab. Now press Vol up + Power buttons until you see the Asus logo. If you are in Jelly Bean, the options are slightly different where you have to choose SD update. Your tab will now reboot to recovery, installs the update and reboots back to the installed firmware. On the other hand, if you are in KitKat, the options like SD download and SD update won't be available because they are removed from the newer Fastboot images. The SD update and SD download are now replaced by recovery option which is the one you need to select. After that device will reboot and install the updates.
3.) To downgrade the firmware to JellyBean, download the appropriate version of the firmware file(I used UpdateLauncher_K012_WW_10_32_1_33_1.zip) and follow the steps as above. Your device will be downgraded. In this version the options on the Droidboot menu will be different from the KitKat version. Just choose SD update to install any other updates.
4.) This is the main part for which i am creating this thread!
THE SOFT BRICK
I was pulling off my hairs for about a day trying to figure out the problem.
Reason for my softbrick: I got a feeling that my device was slightly going slow and the amount of available free RAM was only 200MB. SO, i was considering to Downgrade the firmware from Kitkat to Jellybean. I downloaded the Jellybean firmware UpdateLauncher_K012_WW_10_32_1_33_1.zip from the Asus site and installed it using the method above! Everything went fine and device booted to JellyBean with the familiar interface. Everything was fine but i noticed that the device was slightly heating up and was missing many features like dual apps etc... Hence i decided to go back to KitKat which is were all the problems began! I downloaded the latest firmware UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip. Installation begun as usual but at the end, installation was terminated with a message error. I was shocked! When i rebooted the device i got a USB icon with a red progress bar in a second and went away! The device neither booted nor charged! I repeatedly tried this procedure but failed continuously. I booted to the Droid Boot and saw the firmware version was fine and can't figure what the problem was! But i noticed that the same JellyBean firmware installed again without any glitches and booted fine. When i tried the Kitkat firmware, it failed again and device didnt't boot. This is tricky part! So, i downloaded the first kitkat firmware UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.18.2-user.zip after the JellyBean and tried to install it. To my suprise, the installation went fine and device booted up with that KitKat firmware. Now i put the latest Kitkat firmware UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip to the external SD card and tried to install it and it successfully installed :victory: :victory: Now i am back on the latest firmware
My recommendation : If you do anything, make sure to backup data and have knowledge on what you are doing. Thanks for reading this thread. Please press thanks if i helped you!
Lollipop update has been released some time ago. Please remember to unroot before you update or else you'll get soft bricked.
downgrade and ota update
In lillipop i got major laggs and baterry drained more than 50% over night in standby mode.
So I downgrade to latest kitkat WW_V11.2.3.33 from asus site, using fastboot and intel temporary cwm recovery.
It works great but now ifwi is 64.33 from lollipop, not 64.25 from kitkat.
It seems there is an OTA update WW_V11.2.3.34 but I dont get notification for download.
Is there any way to downgrade ifwi version?
Or do I have to ask here someone for capture the WW_V11.2.3.34 OTA update from /cache and upload here?
Or is there any fix for lillipop horrible lag (2-3 secs after presing or swiping) and masive battery drain? I tried factory reset lollipop and even reinstall with fastboot erase system and intel thetered temp cwm install UL-K012-WW-12.8.1.26-user.zip

Hello! Ifwi is easy! Take the KitKat Firmware and unzip it complitely, so that you have acces to the files of the rom.zip (Firmware)! In the Firmware (1st-Site) is a ifwi.zip! Unzip this ifwi.zip, and take the dnx_fwr.bin (VLC) and the ifwi.bin (VLC) file, and copy it to your adb/fastboot binarys! Then go to fastboot-mode and First: fastboot flash dnx dnx_fwr.bin, when its done, Second: fastboot flash ifwi ifwi.bin, when its done, reboot bootloader, and check ifwi-version! Should be the version you have flashed!
But do it in your own! Im not responsebile for failure or brick!

CLVp_CSAX_OS_DnX_20.3E.bin
IFWI_v64.25_CSAX_PROD.bin
signed_CLVP_CSAX_SoftFuseFile.bin
Dont I have to flash them all? or just the ...FWR_DnX.bin and IFWI_v64.24....bin?
My dear friends, please concentrate on getting Clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod... I am trying real hard here. I contacted all the devs i could, none willing to help me! No device & vendor tree, Locked bootloader, No custom recovery, No stable ROM...... Really feeling so down
OK! You have Four ifwi-Files, Yes then Flash them All!
Expecting some help over here!!! Support me for creating device and vendor trees........
Downgrade IFWI version!

Hello, i tried to downgrade IFWI version by following your method... Everything flashed successfully but the version number stays the same! For eg. if i flash version 64.25, it still stays the 64.33 version of Lollipop firmware only!!! Do you know why???

Hello! Have you more than this two files in your ifwi.zip? In many cases there are more files in ifwi.zip! Unzip the ifwi.zip and flash all files what is in there! Token.files=fastboot flash token filename, dnx.files=fastboot flash dnx filename, and ifwi.files=fastboot flash ifwi filename! But i suggest you, when you not need this ifwi/dnx for anything, then you should stay on the newer ifwi?! ifwi is BIOS for Intel Phones! So you have KitKat with the newer BIOS-update from Lollipop! Its like a BIOS-update for PC!
Ever since i flashed that Lollipop 64.33 IFWI, i didn't get access to the 11.2.3.34 update at all! So, do you think this IFWI version is problem or Asus pulled that firmware from its servers???
@irfanjunaid , Hello sir.
I just got Asus model: k012 Stuck on logo.
Now i am downloading all the firmwares u mentioned in the OP, but one question .. Did u flash them via stock recovery or u flashed the temporary cwm recovery available .

Always flash Stock ROM via stock recovery.... I did via stock recovery... But don't forget, rename the downloaded zip file to k012_sdupdate.zip and put it into a clean formatted SD card. Now press volume up + Power button until you see Asus logo. Now choose Recovery. Now your tab boots to recovery, installs firmware and reboots itself.... Note: No downgrade possible, cannot change SKU(WW-CN etc.....)
I get stuck at the Asus Logo after intel splash.... with a spinning wheel that keeps on going and going and going.... I have download the files you mentioned above, put them on SD card but cannot boot into droidboot, it goes back to main screen. When I select Recovery, it runs about 5 seconds and gives error and then restarts. What seems to be the problem here?
Thanks!

What version of firmware are you in now? Is it rooted? Did you try a factory reset? After factory reset allow tab to take some time to boot up... After that go developer settings -> turn ON usb debugging... Now in PC, run adb via commandline and run adb reboot bootloader... Now see if it goes to droidboot...
This is what I find in bootloader mode. Why can't it go in to droidboot?
IFWI Version: 64.25
SERIAL: E60KBC383526
DROIDBOOT VERSION: TW_FONEPAD-11.2.3.18.2-20141022
PRODUCT: K012
Following Firmwares:
UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.18.2-user.zip
UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip
I tried the old version but to no avail. Also the latest!
Thanks!

This is the droidboot.... You can now connect your tab to PC and issue fastboot commands to it.... For example: Fastboot erase cache
But for heaven's sake please don't install lollipop update.....
Now try this: Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot erase userdata
Now choose reboot....
See if it boots up....

So first unplug your phone from your pc otherwise it won't work.
Than I had the same as you in the picture with the recovery 'stuck' but for it simply worked if I reboot straight again into recovery via the three buttons.
Hope I could help

Different stock recovery only can install certain ROM? I tried B125 already cannot. Any other recommend ROM for me to try? I rmb I flashed a quite latest stock recovery
then try the b510 or the b634..
jb recovery can only install jb rom..so do kk recovery only install kk rom as i know..
if nothing brings success try the unicom rom..

You still have your usb cable plugged in. It will NOT work like that. @taaeem has already mentioned that.
What was the previous firmware that you had installed?
If it was a Chinese firmware, you need to try flashing this file first: https://mega.co.nz/#!8kcVADpB!JKeDlX4WQhmAP3mclNTfIzIjVllw5sMhnrj-3KSpSc4
maybe the sdcard causes this error too..had this with a 16gb fuji card..with a 8gb noname it worked..
and unplug your phone before flashing..as mentioned..

hi miz_pimp, if i do not plug in the usb cable, it will directly go into fail as showed in the picture124 i attached below, I do not rmb what firmware i installed previously, but I did a full wipe, I do not think thr is still firmware inside beside stock recovery.

then try to flash the b512 rom by the force update method (press and hold the buttons until you see the update process starting!)..
id this fails too..well..i don't know how to help then..
if there was a cn firmware on your device (as mentioned) then search for the unicom firmware and read how to flash this and do a eventually downgrade at first)..

i cant even flash my recovery, when i use adb, it just shows me waiting for device, then no response. I tried most of the ways but no one can help......
hm..what might help is that you install the device drivers again..i had in the beginning a similar problem..after reinstall of the device driver (there is a package by lesscro on this forum) my device was seen even in bootloader mode correct..

Have you tried the file that I linked to above?
I think your problem is that you flashed the incorrect recovery version for the firmware you had on your device.
Unless you used TWRP to completely wipe your device before you flashed your stock recovery (which was not at all necessary), then you should still have a firmware on your device.

Hi,
I have the flickering screen problem with my phone and it is out of warranty so i can't send it back to repair.
I tried upgrading to the latest firmware, tried factory reset, wipe cache, installing google launcher, enabling the HW thing in developer mode and nothing worked.
I read that WW_2.12.40.11 version doesn't have the screen problem and i want to try it, but i wanna be sure i'm doing it the right way.
1) I read that i can't just put the wanted firmware in my phone and install the update but i must also flash the matching recovery to flash the wanted version - is it true?
2) Can i downgrade straight from my version to the lower one because i think the other way around, i need to have higher version for upgrading to the higher version i now have.
3) Where can i find the adb driver for this?
Thanks
You can downgrade via ext sd card using the downgrade version from asus > 52.20.40.196 LP which when installed , reboots to 2.20.40.196LP
When putting WW-UL- 52.20.40.196.zip.zip ,make sure to put an extra .zip on the end in file manager or in sd from pc first and reboot.
If you then put WW-UL-2.12.40.11-user.zip.zip (extra .zip) on sd or in file manager . You might get that to give you notification after a reboot too. Although i have not tested to downgrade that far .
You must use the first 52.20 blah blah fw to initially downgrade first though. Ignore this and you are liable to brick. Here >
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-52.20.40.196-user.zip

OK, it's weird, i did flash the 2.12.40.11 recovery.img to the phone using adb and it was said in the console that the process completed, but now when i enter recovery mode it still shows me 4.21.40.223 version.
OK, I did downgrade with your method and it works great, but when i try to downgrade fro that version to the version i want to try i get error that i cant install the package over the existing newer version.
Just to inform.

If you want to downgrade to such an old version, find the .raw file of that version (search here on XDA) and flash it via Asus Flash Tool.

Thanks for the advice.
I searched and found raw firmware versions but no the one i'm looking for.
Is there any way i can install the official firmware i have? i also found recovery.img, boot.img, droidboot.img of the version i want.

If you have all the img partitions you can always try installing via fastboot commands but i really recommend using a raw with Asus Flash Tool...

Hi, thanks i'l try that.
does it matter in what order i flash this 3 files?
Edit: If i already flashed the ROM can i just flash the boot.img and droidboot.img or do i need to do the whole process including flashing the ROM again?
Is your screen flickering problem like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRuxTefNcKw
If its like that I was told its a LCD hardware problem which gets fixed by replacing LCD.
Update:
Well, I installed firmware 2.12.40.11 and it worked fine for several days but then the screen started to flicker again.
i started to update the devices with OTA updates and then i saw that in firmware WW_2.20.40.174 the screen didn't flicker.
i had further updates and then the screen started to flicker again.
i tried to flash recovery.img, boot.img and droidboot.img but not the device only enters fastboot mode but when i try to enter normal boot or recovery mode, it only comes back to fast boot mode.
any suggestion what should i do to unbrick the phone?
Thanks
Hi,
Below are the steps to rollback to Marshmallow from Nougat. I've only tested it on BLN-L22 so I don't know if it works with other variants.
Your bootloader would be locked. However, you can unlock again using the old unlock code.
You can find firmware of your version @ Honor Official Site
Download the Marshmallow firmware from here Honor India Official Support
Unzip it and place the dload folder in the sdcard (internal storage wont work)
Power off the device.
Press Volume Down + Volume Up + Power key to log into Huawei software upgrade
Let it finish. Now installation is done. But now when you will boot, it will bootloop and go to Huawei ercovery. Simply select the shutdown option
Once the device is off, press Volume Up + Power. This will take you to Huawei Recovery
Wipe data and Wipe Cache
Restart. You are back to MarshMallow
Kindly do the above at your own risk. It worked for me, but it may brick for you.
Edit : User @honor6xak was able to rollback after wiping the system using TWRP and following above steps. If there is no system, there would be no firmware for Honor to overwrite. It would be as good as flashing fresh.
Method 2.
1. Make a nandroid backup (complete backup) and save it somewhere safe. Just in case things get messy.
2. Download the official firmware (Marshmallow) from the Honor official site.
3. Extract the dload folder from the firmware and put it into an sdcard (physical one).
4. Reboot to TWRP and wipe data + system. Twrp will warn you about wiping system. Once you do it. Power off the device.
5. Press volume up + volume down + power this will take you to Huawei recovery and will auto install the firmware if the folder is there in sdcard.
This is a tad bit risky but if you have nandroid backup then you can be on a safe side. But still do it only if you are sure. I don't have money to pay if you Sue me
The above link is for the Indian firmware for the US firmware (L24) you'll have to go to the us website. I got a little confused earlier trying to download it, just thought I'd give a heads up to anybody else. I'd link it but I had to create a new account as my old one is apparrently tied to an email I don't remember.

Yes, that's the reason I specified the BLN number. You don't need to login to have the firmware download. If you can give the link we can update the post.
Edit : I've updated site for Official firmware of various regions in the main post
It's official mm r ( this is root mobiles or unrooting mobiles ) any virus problem

If you flash these official version you'll get unrooted and your bootloader would be locked again. But you can unlock the bootloader again and root also.
Since it is from official website I doubt it will have any virus
So hacky but... you can find the 'rollback package' here http ://www, hihonor, ]com/us/support/details/index,html?[DOC_ID=94205] and the firmware here http ://www, hihonor, [com/us/support/details/index.html?][DOC_ID=94205]
Just remove the spaces, brackets and replace periods with commas.

Hello bro,
I several times tried the method that you mentioned in your thread using a memory card but it always failed. I'm very curious how it worked for you. Right now I unlocked and rooted my Honor 6x BLN-L22.
I just want to know if your phone was unlocked when you tried this method.
If yes I'll give it a try. It might work this time.
Thank you

You can do one thing I don't know if it work but you can try it. Download firmware finder from play store. Search for the latest nougat firmware then select download. There would be two files 1. Update.zip 2. BLNxxxx some name. Download the second file. Then flash it with twrp.
Now do the procedure as I described in the first post. When I did the roll back I was on the unofficial nougat version.
I'll search for some other method. Sorry it didn't work for you.

Thanks a lot bro. I'll try that.
It worked for me on my BLN-L24, rolling it back to I could exchange it. However I had to do a couple other steps first to get it to work, so here's my full steps that worked for me:
1. If you have twrp or another custom recovery, flash it back to stock.
1a. To find the stock recovery I had to get it from the zip file here since I'm a dumbass and didn't make a backup: If you have twrp or another custom recovery, flash it back to stock.
2. If you have a custom bootloader, flash it back to stock.
3. Download and extract the stock rom. Flashing it from zip will not work.
4. Copy the UPDATE.app to /sdcard/dload/ (not a physical sdcard, if that's what's confusing you.
5. Turn the device all the way off.
6. Press and hold volume up, and volume down, then press and hold power until the phone starts booting, immediately release it once you see something on the screen.
It should now 'update' your phone back to EMUI 4.1.

What did you do that you are stuck at TWRP?
Tell the history then we can suggest something
Download the update_data_full_BLN-L22_channel_in.zip and place it on sdcard.
You can then flash it with TWRP
i was on emui 5 nougat tried to install arise it did installed fine and later the camera was not opening and restarting device didnt help .... hence i went ahead and tried to flash the nougat again with twrp as i didnt know it ll be messed up like this

You cannot directly flash the 4.1 file on your nougat. If you want to do that then you have to use the procedure I gave in the first page.
The link I gave is for nougat version. Basically, when I had a similar problem like you I flashed the 733mb file and my phone was able to boot.
Wipe data in TWRP
Flash the 733mb file
Wipe cache
I hope it works

Both methods didn't work for me though I flashed the 733mb file using TWRP successfully.
After the last OTA update, my Moto G5 started to boot with the following warning:
"
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly.
To learn more visit:
motorolacom/unlockbootloader
ID: N/A
Your device will boot in 5 seconds
"
It also started to restart randomly.
I did some research on the web and found out that this warning appears when someone unlocks/roots the device.
The problem is that I aver never unlocked the bootloader or rooted the device.
When I boot to fastboot it says "OEM Locked" and the app DevCheck says that I am not rooted.
It seems to me that the update corrupted something and now some piece of software flags my device as unlocked.
Besides the irritating screen, some apps are not working properly or cannot be downloaded from the store.
I tried to reset to factory settings and wipe caches. Problem still happens.
I'd like to know if you guys know a solution for this problem.
I saw on another post that this problem was happening on some Verizon Moto Zs and they provided a software to reinstall the rom
Unfortunately, Motorola has not released a software to do the same to unlocked devices.
My ROM version is: NPPS25.137-33-6 (yeah, there is an "S" that I don't find in the roms available here)
The baseband is: M8937_8000.122.02.45R
(CEDRIC_BRAZILDSDS_CUST)
I was thinking in loading the rom into internal memory, reboot in recovery mode and flash the rom using the option "Install package from zip".
Do you know if it would work without an unlocked bootloader. Is it safe?
Thank you for the help,
Don't know if you can flash the boot logo without an unlocked bootloader but if you can here it is
Put phone in fastboot mode
Download logo from link below
Enter the following in a windows command prompt where you have fastboot files (Google to learn howto install Android sdk) & the logo file
Code:
fastboot.exe flash logo logo-g5-fix.bin
http://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-idWfPYugGvREJaR3B0UFIxUkU/view?usp=sharing
If you can't then you have no option but to wait for Motorola to fix it if you really haven't modded your phone
TheFixItMan, I really appreciate your answer.
But in that case wouldn't I just be changing the warning screen?
The problems with Netflix and other apps would remain.
I need something to fix the cause of the problem.
Have you guys heard about that problem before?
This guy had the same problem, but verizon patched it:

You can go back to stock using ADB update or by flashing VERIFIED images in bootloader mode. This will work even when bootloader is locked.

To flash using bootloader I need just to copy the .zip in the internal memory, reboot in reboot in bootloader mode and select the option "install from .zip file"?
Where do I find the verified image for my device?
If I flash an unverified image will my device brick ou the bootloader will present a "impossible to procede" screen?
Thank you for the help!

you can flash what ever you want in fastboot -
However - In terms of firmware, if you are trying to flash incorrect firmware then the verification check will fail and it will not flash
Just don't flash a new bootloader if you are worried about it - its not needed unless you are upgrading an android version and that version has an updated bootloader
So I am safe if I follow these steps:
Manually Update Android Nougat for Moto G5 (NPP25.137-33) via Recovery
First of all, Go to Settings –> About Phone –> Tap on Build Number 7 Times.
Go to Developer Options –> Enable USB Debugging.
Save Stock Android Nougat rom for Moto G5 and save it in Internal storage.
Reboot Moto G5 Plus to Recovery Mode.
Select Apply Update from SD Card.
Select the Downloaded ZIP file from SD Card.
Wait until Installation process Completes.
Once the Installation completed. Reboot the Phone.
If my ROM is a wrong version, will the bootloader detect and deny instalation?

if you are talking about an official ota update then it will fail - you cannot update like this
An offical ota zip requires a non rooted device, unmodified system partition and stock recovery
you maybe able to download the ota update and save it (its in the cache partition)
then use flashfire app to install it
note if its a custom rom than recovery mode will allow you to flash any zip and will flash anything unless the updater script specifies a certain build.prop target eg phone model or other criteria that would stop it flashing if it was false
If you want to flash firmware you need the firmware image and flash it via fastboot

Great post!
I still have to rebrand and update to emui8.
Looks like a huge job.
I'm using this rom since 3 weeks ago and is so smooth and daily driver.
PD: Would be nice if you reference the original post of @Askuccio_DROID on P8 Lite forum:
[ROM] [PIE 9.0.0_r10] [OFFICIAL] PixysOS for Huawei Hi6250
Thanks for sharing here
After installing the ROM, you can easily get into bootloader by selecting bootloader during the reboot option in twrp. It's a bit easier than trying to get the buttons & timing right to get into bootloader to flash the stock recovery.
Hi sir thank you for this guide always wanted to flash this pixy os but no detailed instructions for pur device..
Im just a newbie here..
Can you help me find the link for the recovery for my device.
im on BLL-L22?
anyone pls help me
BLL-L22 ? You mean stock recovery? Are you on stock EMUI 8? India? If you have update.app u can easily extract it. But if you can't then I will do it for you once the download finishes.

Oh man....I think I need to rebrand first for this then get the emui 8 im still running on emui 5...im from the Philippines..
so the stock recovery should be on the updater.app the ill just extract that file then I need to look for "recovery.img"?
is that how its done?
Well first you need to update to EMUI 8. You will probably have to download Indian or China version of EMUI 8 from Firmware Finder. I suggest China. Once downloaded just rebrand/update. Now in the update.zip you will find an update.app it is around 2-3 GB. Download Huawei Firmware Extractor and then extract Recovery_ramdis.img That's it. Now flash it normally.
Reading your post I conclude you are on EMUI 5 correct? What is your model number? It might help with the rebranding.
Is the moble metwork standby battery drain bug in this rom?

Also recovery is flashed through fastboot using either powershell or command prompt through your PC
Go-to the above link and download HWOTA and the three update files. Extract HWOTA to the C Drive of your PC. Rename them as suggested in thread. Now transfer the files to Download folder inside HWOTA 7 folder. Now boot your phone into Bootloader and connect to the PC. Now run update.bat it will flash TWRP recovery. Once it says waiting for device to boot into TWRP, disconnect the device and hold Power & Volume Up to boot into TWRP. Once in there reconnect to Computer and press enter twice.
Now select:
Update from-> using script-> change location-> BLN-AL20. It will flash OEM-Info and then ask for your bootloader unlock code and continue. Now wait patiently for it to finish. Once flashing is complete select to keep Bootloader unlocked.
Upon first boot you won't have network signal. Solution is in the linked thread but Don't ignore it and fix signal first then after that flash Pixys OS by following OP.
Now to extract Stock Recovery follow these:
Extract the main update.zip
Download Huawei Update Extractor from XDA. Search for it.
Launch Huawei Update Extractor and go to Settings and disable first option. Now press three dots to browse and navigate to extracted folder and select Update.app
Double click on Recovery_Ramdis.img and extract it to desktop. You will get animage file and another one. Delete the other one. Now flash image file as you would flash TWRP. If you need more help, Just ask.
One question, can I transition from Resurrection Remix Oreo? Or do I have to flash EMUI 8 again?
Hello,
I am using an Honor 6X model number BLN-L21 running Emui 5.0.1.
Phone has unlocked bootloader and is rooted.
Since is unlocked OTA updates are no longer working so I am stuck on 5.0.1.
If I understood correctly I have first to upgrade to Emui 8.0 stock fw and then pass to this custom rom.
Could you please write me a small recap/tutorial I can follow to jump my phone in Emui 8?
Thanks,
Andrea.

Yes you can but to be on the safe side I would advise to restore EMUI 8 first. Though you can go directly if you wish.

Upon first boot you won't have network signal. Solution is in the linked thread but dont ignore it fix it first and after that flash Pixys OS by following OP.
Now to extract Stock Recovery follow these:
Extract the main update.zip

Launch Huawei Update Extractor and go to Settings and disable first option. Now press three dots to browse and navigate to extracted folder and select Update.app
Double click on Recovery_Ramdis.img and extract it to desktop. You will get animage file and another one. Delete the other one. Now flash image file as you would flash TWRP. If you need more help, Just ask.
Follow along. You're both in the same boat.
