Device

Honor 8X Max (ARE-AL00) Chinese Sim operator Tele2 Lithuania, Firmware Version - AOSP 10 Root and Gapps - ARM64 AB

Requirements::

  • Unlocked Bootloader (Not explained here, so you need to use HCU Unlock and purchase a credit for that);
  • Your Recovery has to be stock, so if you have TWRP, I recommend to reflash the stock one;
  • Choose an ARM64 AB GSI Rom from here;

BUGS:

  1. The device might show as not certified, so you won't be able to use any Google services until you register your device. Guide from Androidsage to help doing that;
  2. Brightness seems to be at 50% when set at a maximum. This issue might be due to the Vendor Overlays (not a 100% sure though), I am investigating this, but I am using the device as it is and it is fine for me, until we find a solution for it.

Quick Guide:

  1. Turn off your phone and then start it with Power and VOL+, until you see the message of the unlocked phone;
  2. Wait until you see the Stock recovery not eRecovery;
  3. Wipe and reset, Type "YES" and wait for wiping;
  4. Plug the USB Cable to PC, reboot the phone while pressing VOL - ;
  5. You should see the Android Fastboot now;
  6. On Windows download ADB tools and Linux or Mac they can be added using terminal (You can find it easily by doing a simple search);
  7. To make sure the phone is correctly connected, type in the CMD Line or Terminal: fastboot devices ;
  8. You should see a series of numbers, so now you can flash by typing: fastboot flash system WHATEVERGSIIMAGEYOUCHOOSE.IMG ;
  9. Wait about 2-3 minutes and then when the flash is finished, type: fastboot reboot ;
  10. That's it! Your phone should now boot to your preferred GSI ROM with more or less everyhing working
