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.

How to downgrade Realme X to Android 9/ Color OS 6 from Android 10 /Realme UI?

Hello devs,
I upgraded my Realme X to android 10 using OTA.
Although there are no serious bugs, the UI has minor glitches now and then. But the camera has lost its quality significantly. It is taking comparatively bad photos now when compared to Android 9.
Can You kindly write a guide on how to downgrade to Android 9? It will be really appreciated.
Thank You in advance.

Bootloader is locked. Can't I flash older versions?

I have the same query. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Bootloader is locked. I just purchased the phone and upgraded to Realme UI. Now I want to downgrade to colorOS so I can either use it or flash the phone to other ROM(s) which is completely impossible as of now in Realme UI.

U can unlock bootloader using In depth test app and adb but u can't use TWRP because TWRP is not supported in android 10.

What about fastboot? Can we flash Android 9 using fastboot? Have you successfully downgraded?

Hi
I've bricked my realme x and that lead me to start searching ow to unbrick it, and with that i can tell you there's a way to make a downgrade of the android version.
The first thing you need to have is the .ofp file of the software version you want (if you have the india/global version you will not have any problem finding it, but if you have the chinese version you probably could not find it *i've been searching a lot for this file, if you find it, please let me know*)
once you have the ofp file you need the flashing tool of oppo, known as msmdownload tool, the issue with this is the tool will ask you for username and password, because its for oppo workers, and a lot of patched versions don't reconize the file.
If you made this far its pretty simple, select the ofp file, connect the device pressing volumen + and volumen -, and push in the icon of flash.
you can do it in another way, unlocking the bootloader (theres a tutorial in this forum), and then flashing a recovery (you migth flash a custom rom first via adb/fastboot) a zip file with the twrp, and then using the flashable zip of color OS
I hope this help you, but if you're not very mastered in this i reccomend u let realme work of improving the rom or using a gcam

you have to flash the recovery after flashing another rom
thats why i suggest you flashing a custom rom via ADB and then flashing the color os rom

Stuck on last step of getting root

I used Odin to flash a patched maigsk tar. Then did a factory reset. I then installed the Magisk apk. But it never gave "additional setup required". Root is not present.
Only problem I can think of is, I couldn't find a download for my exact firmware ( G985FOXM5CTKF ) so I used Australia's to extract the AP from. Should I have actually flashed the Australia firmware before flashing the patched magisk?

Flash twrp and then flash magisk.zip?
Better to have twrp to eventually recover after a bad magisk module install, if that ever happens, which is not that hard to do
I would have posted links to help but you did not mention what device you have.

OK thanks I will attempt this. According to the linked guide I need to " format data in twrp and install multidisabler". Why is this necessary and what does multidisabler do? Usually having your phone encrypted is a good thing...

if you want a more stock version then this should be fine (i haven't tested this though), i personally prefer lineage 18.1, but you won't get VoWIFI or VoLTE if you choose lineage.

Question Installing Xiaomi.eu from crDroid

I'm currently on crDroid 8.7 and i'm thinking of trying Xiaomi.eu to see if the battery life is any better. I dont want to make a mistake flashing the ROM and so I just want to check the procedure before I do.
Am I correct in thinking that when on A12 Xiaomi.eu can only be installed via Fastboot and must not be installed via TWRP?
These are the instructions on the Xiaomi.eu website;
Xiaomi devices on Android 12 via Fastboot only:
- Download our ROM zip file
- Unpack downloaded zip file in the PC using WinRAR
- Reboot your device to fastboot mode (press volume down + power)
- Connect to PC via USB cable
- Run fastboot installation script from unpacked zip according your PC operating system:
--- For Windows OS - windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

You don't need WinRAR. It's just a ZIP-file and Windows supports that.
Don't do "Update ROM", you're switching ROMs. crDroid and Xiaomi.eu are quite different from each other.
You might get away with "Update ROM" when switching from one AOSP ROM to another very similar, and not having to erase Userdata, but I don't recommend it. Flashing ROMs in itself is very dangerous, better not play with fire. Especially in this case, I'm certain you otherwise do a Hardbrick.
So use Clean Flash. Also make sure your PC and the USB-connection are reliable, in that they wouldn't randomly disconnect. What I do before a Flash, is copy big video-recordings to see if the USB-connection is stable enough.
I solely say this because my AMD-based PC is plaqued with USB-issues (which are widespread amongst AMD motherboards) and it caused Hardbricks for me in the past.
But you should first flash the Stock ROM, then clean flash Xiaomi.eu. You can get it on the official MIUI site or xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

Yes, that too! Personally I've never used this route. In the past I've always used Fastboot Mode and PC.
But using TWRP seems straightforward, so you could give it a try!

With PC:

Format data and flash Xiaomi.eu via TWRP. Firmware will be installed so you don't need to do that. That's it.

The fastboot version in Xiaomi.eu stable appeared before skkk twrp that supports android 12 encryption and there is still no stable version update that will appear as a recovery package. If you want to flash Xiaomi.eu on Poco F3 via twrp it is only on Xiaomi.eu weekly beta 22.8.3 for now or wait patiently for the next stable update that you will be able to flash in twrp.
