Install Resurrection Remix ROM on your Honor 9

Everyone talks about the availability of AOSP based custom ROMs for devices that run on an otherwise heavily customized UX and the truth is that things tend to move faster than expected. Team OpenKirin’s Resurrection Remix N v5.8.4 is now available for the Honor 9 smartphone, so that’s your chance.

Yes, Honor 9 has received its first AOSP-based custom ROM in the form of OpenKirin’s Resurrection Remix (RR), so we are talking about the very first handset running on the Kirin 960 SoC ready for an AOSP ROM of any kind.

The ROM is based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat with many Custom features from Resurrection Remix OS 5.8.3. I can assure you of the fact that this is a stable build and you can use it as a daily driver, yet don’t even think of skipping the preparatory steps.

Keep in mind that:

• This Honor 9 custom ROM officially supports the STF-AL00/AL10/AL20/L09/L14/L19/L39, as well as TL10 variants;
• You should better take a full Nandroid backup of your current setup. This way you can restore it and get your device back to how it was before flashing the ROM;
• The procedure is not possible if you don’t unlock the Bootloader of your device;
• To install this Honor 9 custom ROM, you must also install a Custom Recovery on your handset;
• Make sure your device is properly charged for such a procedure so that it doesn’t run out of juice when you less expect this to happen;
• Your device should already be running on the Stock EMUI 5.1 based on Android Nougat.

Note that this site or even the developers of the ROM aren’t responsible for anything that happens to your device while flashing the ROM.
