Does this ROM support Volte for Jio in India..?

The volte is supplied by an IMS developed by iceows. Iceows is me . I tested my IMS in France on different ROM Caos, LiR, AOSP, LeaOS, ...not on fluid but normally it works on all GSI

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/volte-support-on-hi6250.4387683/

So, I "successfully" installed FluidOS+gapps pico. Everything was okay for the past two days, then all of a sudden, the phone starts freezing up, After restarting it, several times and with a little unexpected bootloop, my files are no longer accessible. Everything is working fairly okay, but I cannot download any new files or view my photos, listen to music, or do anything that requires internal storage access, including my twrp full backup. The system has also become laggy, incredibly so. All my apps are still installed but the system only reads 5GB storage usage. Initially, I'd had this issue during one of the attempted installations before my success, and had used twrp from a thread I'll mention once I reconnect to it to fix decryption. I also faced network issues which were easily fixed by turning airplane mode on, turning on SafetyNet help in phh treble settings, and turning airplane off. Alternatively, on one attempt, installing the latest twrp fixed the issue (Note: This did not root the phone). Well, this seems too troublesome for my honor 6x L22. Nice trial run for me, and I wish the successes all the best.\

Tested on BLN-L21: procedure followed step by step. Continuously hooks and unhooks the telephone network (Ho. - Italy). On restart, the SD is not recognized.
Flash repeated, same result. Back to AOSP 10

Hello XDA community,
This is my first time installing any ROM and I'm not sure how it actually works.
I have Honor 6x bln-l21 with EMUI 5.0.1 and android 7 and lately it became laggy for no reason so I'm trying to update it to higher EMUI maybe it will help but unfortunately I can't see any official update.

I found this thread for installing fluid os (which looks awesome) but I can't follow along with the instructions.

Is there any step by step thread to guide me through everything or anyone that would be great

first of all you would need EMUI 8 to even install this ROM or any other ROM in general your phone did not got an emui 8 update so you can't use any ROMs on it. it is worthless phone now i guess

Added procedure in a new spoiler to install the base EMUI 8 for hi6250 devices as using the EMUI 8 we get with our device is causing some errors and bugs. Thanks to @Kentoto2021 and @VarianWrynn for testing and reporting this problem.

This ROM is none of my work. I just tested it and provided appropriate procedure and fixes to errors(Found nothing yet).
Thanks a ton to @Hami_Do for making this possible. Original Post : link.

Thanks to Huawei for making their phones nearly unbrickable .
Thanks again to Huawei for making more than one device with hi6250 chipset.

Thanks a lot to @Djiban for helping me and testing different procedures, fixes and ROMs.

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. Thanks to @lmaohelp for his effort and describing everything in detail.


Useful Information :

• What is OpenGapps? Check it out at OpenGapps.org!
• What is ARM64? it is a 64 bit operating system/platform.

What isn't working :
Usb Notification (Options will be greyed out. To transfer files, go to Developer Options > Default USB configuration > set it to File Transfer).
Dual sim is buggy. Single sim works perfectly. Thanks to @Loopeez for reporting it.

What's Working :
Everything.
*Tell me if something 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 stock EMUI 8.
• Extract downloaded image using some xz extractor(7zip can also do this), copy it to pc.
• Reboot your device to TWRP.
• Format the data partition {Wipe > Format data > type "yes"}
• Flash fstab.hi6250b.zip from attachments

• Check if your device is detected by adb using

  Code:

  adb devices

  .

• Move the img file using adb to device

  Code:

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

  (the img file must be in adb directory).

• (Optional, only if you want gapps) Move Gapps in the same manner

  Code:

  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 gapps) Unmount and Remount system partition as writable. Go to wipe > advanced wipe > Choose system > resize > Swipe➡.
• Flash gapps.

• Flash stock recovery. Push it with adb using

  Code:

  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.

>Booting is quite different in android 11 ROMs on our device. You'll see the "Your device has been unlocked" screen for more time than usual. Then, you'll see the boot animation (for very short time on subsequent boots) and the device will boot to ROM. So, be patient. (This isn't the case with ROMs upto android 10)

>Face Unlock is working perfectly


Happy Flashing !

Quick question. What Model Honor 6X did you have and what was the Emui 8 firmware number when you did all this? I feel a lot of issues come from this.
