Thanks man, but can you use another website? Its all in Vietnamese, not sure which link to use....
You can easily change the language to english from Right Upper Corner..
Which recovery did you use?
it should be TWRP i think..
Can u confirm, that the wifi is not broken?
I downloaded the files myself from sony update and flashed it, no issues with wifi here.

dual recovery Ver 2.8.21
Noob question. I have rooted, and have recovery installed per the How-to. Guide, but now I want to upgrade to the latest Firmware.
Are these the proper steps to follow? I am confused because people always reference back to the How-to Guide, but that was from a non-rooted phone without recovery, so what should I do now with rooted and recovery installed?
I have downloaded the preroot+recovery.zip file... Are the following steps correct?
1. Put the .zip file in the internal memory
2. Boot into recovery
3. Flash the .zip firmware
Is that it?
guys the link wont download. can someone mirror it for me or link me to another flashable zip?

@ah_hin should work....but wipe only cache and dalvik...
another way a bit more time consuming is to back-up the apps using Titanium and then do a full wipe (always better than a dirty flash) flash the new build and then restore apps. i did it that way and have no issues...
@ zike .... use the flashtool to download the latest tft then use the guide on how to create your own prerooted flashable, is faster than to look for a mirror that is available and fast.
Hi i have a big problem i wanted to root my xperia z3 compact so i unlocked the boot loader & i installed CWM Recovery v 6.0.4.7 the problem is when the phone start a pink light show up i can access to recovery mode when i press vol up but when i let it, it will be orange & reboot & the pink light show up again so i wiped data/factory reset but nothing happening & a message appear : E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] what's the solution plz

hitesh can you tell me the version of twrp u r using?and the steps u followed during restoration?
asking coz i'm having some trouble with this twrp backup
I used twrp 2.8.7
I was on stock ROM 5.1 , what I did is wiped data system cache. But first I had placed the backup inside twrp folder on external SD card. Than normal restore. But the whole process from Motorola bootanimation to preparing your device took about 20 minutes. That was normal as when I first unlocked my boot loader same thing occurred as I was on lollipop latest ota. And still if any problem occurs u can try format data option inside wipe tab in twrp ,but remember it would wipe your internal storage.

Can we flash it like some other rom or we have to do something special for this??
PLEASE HELP!

[METHODS][Getting Back] to STOCK ROM after flashing Custom roms

This is fully a noob helping guide , Am just trying myself to help noobs instead of explaining them each time .
Method 1 :
Make a twrp backup soon after unlocking boot loader .
Am not going to explain how to unlock bootloader and also twrp flashing ,you can search different threads available in the same section .
Soon after unlocking bootloader , Just boot twrp before flashing it .
This can be done this way , Once you unlocked bootloader .
Upon firstboot ,just goto developer options and enable USB debugging and then Open the folder where you had setup minimal fastboot (Mfastboot v2 google for it) . You should have it as you can't unlock bootloader without minimal fastboot .
In any empty space in minimal fastboot exrracted folder , just press shift+right click and select "Open command prompt here" .
Now copy twrp recovery to Mfastboot folder .
Connect your phone to PC.
In command prompt type the below command
adb reboot bootloader
Hit enter ,
Now your phone reboots to bootloader .
Now type this command .
mfastboot.exe boot twrp.img
(Just rename the recovery to twrp.img before flashing )
Now just take a backup and keep it safe somewhere to access when required .
This is easy , but many may loose their twrp backup for some reasons or forgot to take a backup before stepping to custom ROMs , move to Method 2 if your in such group .
Method 2:
Download update.app from official site .
Extract and put dload folder in root of sdcard .
Power off the phone and press vol up+ vol down and power .
It will now fully flash stock ROM with all stock files .
(This method requires stock recovery so keep in mind to flash stock recovery before trying to update as twrp can't perform these tasks )
Method 3:
Its not hard and not easy too but you required to download some tools .
Huawei update extractor tool (google for it)
Once downloaded open the tool and choose the path where you placed update.app in your PC .
Now the tool opens update.app .
Extract system.IMG and boot.IMG from update.app
Put them in the minimal fastboot folder.
Boot your phn to fastboot using command adb reboot bootloader .
Now connecting your phone to PC in bootloader mode , type the below commands
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe reboot
That's it you are on stock ROM.
Method 4:
Flash the stock rom flashable zip posted by devs in your device specific threads and flash it .
Fully for noobs : METHOD 5:
Download the twrp backup posted in device specific threads and put it in sdcard and restore it. Its easy though .
Now your device is ready for flashing official updates "if you get them"[emoji14].

Cache & Cust partitions need wiping and reflashing. Had the same issue when I reverted a Modaco rom back to stock.
Easiest method for L21 users is to flash this stock ROM: http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/377002-r3-custom-rom-starter-template-honor-5x-kiw-l21-b130/ then replace TWRP with the stock recovery image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/repository-honor-5x-file-depot-t3328288
yes, the rom says "custom rom starter template" but it's the stock B130 UK ROM repackaged into a flashable ZIP. Much easier than messing around extracting system images.
---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
I should mention one thing. If you have gone back to stock after a custom ROM then you may find the internal storage partition is the wrong size. Just do a full factory reset from Settings to resolve this.

Yes, if you just flash that rom then you'll be fully restored to stock, but with TWRP still in place. If you flash the stock recovery.img after then this will put the phone completely at stock and you should be able to apply future updates as the rom is completely untouched.

And also using the dload/update.app method does not delete your data but it will replace your custom recovery / boot.img and you can take OTA update afterwords

Hi I went from Cm13 to stock with emui 2.0 by restoring my twrp backup before I flashed my first huawei gr5 custom rom.
Now i am trying to restore back to stock rom to fully use OTA updates. Here's what I Did:
1. Restore twrp backup (emui 2.0 not rooted)
2. Flash system img and boot.img via adb using img file from update.app also by using update extractor.
Now i realized that im still in twrp. Do i need to flash recovery img first? Then can i do updates without problem? Or do i need to use the update.app via dload updating too?

flashing roms with 4.4.x kernel without qpst

If you afraid to flash qpst rom, here a method which will update your baseband/bootloader without qpst tool.
1) flash vendor to factory ( if you already flashed factory to vendor )
2) flash zui 3.5.389 full ota which has firmware included ( not the deodexed one by hendibudi )
Link :https://drive.google.com/file/d/1knkZxUyLNZO7uS8u_CK7j4j5-UqqGs5l/view (don't reboot
3) flash hendibudi's twrp for zui and reboot to rom
( The step 2 will lock your bootloader/ update your firmware/ bootloader. So we need to unlock bootloader again. To avoid wiping of internal storage we use twrp recovery which will only wipe /data
4)unlock your bootloader by following this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/how-to/how-bootloader-zuk-z2-pro-t3415392
( You can use your old unlock image )
5) clean flash any nontreble rom( needed)
Reboot to rom.
6)Reboot to recovery, flash factory to vendor zip.
( Don't reboot )
7) install latest twrp from twrpbuilder.org for our device ( install--image -- select -- recovery-swipe to flash )
8) reboot to recovery
9) clean flash your fav 4.4. kernel ROMs.
Note:
I am not tested new twrp by twrpbuilder.org instead of hendibudi twrp at step 3.
If it doesn't encrypt internal storage, there is no need of step 5&7
I followed this and worked. Don't miss any steps

You can request unlock .img again
The way I got it working was by
1. Flashing deodexed TWRP flashable ZUI 4.0.233 rom and then set it up along with magisk.
2. Flashed factory2vendor.zip
3. Flashed TWRP by z2_plus_treble-TWRP-3.2.2_kubersharma_v2.img available in his thread.
4. Clean Flashed AEX 5.8
5. After setup again in TWRP clean flashed a Beta version of AEX v6.0
6. Again after that clean flashed the Official version of AEX v6.0.
You can skip step 4 & 5. I followed those steps to avoid any Blue Screen issue recently reported by some users. I didn't face any Bootloader problem.
*Remember to use Kubersharma TWRP in step 3. I don't know why, but Treble TWRP compiled by Davide is not reading internal storage when flashed after ZUI deodexed.
*And I am not responsible for anything that happens during your adventures.

First of all, kudos for the great job! I'm anxious to test it.
But please forgive my stupidity.
Which hendibudi TWRP build you mean? I could only find a 3.2.1 but I'm not sure it can handle Treble.

Yes it doest support treble partition. But we need that twtp to avoid internal storage encryption problem.
So we can flash any non treble ROM, reboot yo ROM, reboot to recovery , flash factory to vendor zip, flash latest treble twrp, reboot to twrp then flash 4.4 ROMs.
My entire point is flashing vendor to factory and and full ota 3.5.389 zip will update bootloader, firmware ( it will work just as qfil flash )
My guide can be followed if someone having trouble with qfil . ( tested by at least 2 people )
Other steps are just to avoid encryption and internal storage wipe problems that may come after flash.
Hope it'll remove doubts

There is baseband zip file of 3.5 zui (in guides and discussion section) you can flash that if you don't want to go through the long process of Qfil, I flash that zip and i am able to use 4.4 kernels
This will not lock your bootloader and can be flashed by official TWRP

flash vendor to factory ( if you already flashed factory to vendor ) "
explain this line
In these forums there was a file for updating baseband to 1.70. I flashed it promptly and my phone also went into soft brick. Because accidentally my bootloader got locked and got revised also. By using certain key combinations I succeeded in again unlocking my bootloader without formatting my inner storage . now I am able to flash 4.4 ROMs. Without going through all the hassles of backup, formatting and again flashing twrp.
Your guide didn't work for me (but step 2 using your file didn't lock my bootloader). It would be nice if you gave direct link to items in your steps (for i.e factory to vendor.zip, twrp...). I guess I'll try using qfil unless someone has some tips... BTW I can't find a good qfil guide for 4.4 kernel roms, could anyone give me a link to a helpful thread for it if I can't get it working using this method?

OTA update on unlocked and rooted device

I have a well working Note 7 with unlocked and rooted 10.3.5.0 Global PFGEUXM (TWRP recovery and magisk).
Today I got the OTA notification to update ROM to 10.3.6.0.
What I will lose if I update?
What's the best way to proceed?
Thank you
Nothing will be lost from a regular OTA Just check around for any bugs or problems that other people are having if any? And update if you like.

I have a well working Note 7 with unlocked and rooted 10.3.5.0 Global PFGEUXM (TWRP recovery and magisk).
Today I got the OTA notification to update ROM to 10.3.6.0.
What I will lose if I update?
What's the best way to proceed?
Thank you

You have to download the full rom then go to twrp and wipe cache and dalvik flash the rom and magisk without reboot to system. After the flash of magisk you can reboot to the system. If you don't flash magisk before rebooting MIUI overwrite the twrp with the stock recovery and you have to reinstall twrp with fastboot

If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete from the rom zip the file compatibility.zip

Thank you very much darhma.
Should I reflash Disable_Dm-Verity before magisk?

You're welcome. I don't think it's needed the disable_dm-verity (but also i don't think that's a bad thing if you reflash it). If you want to thanks somebody in xda forum just press the thanks button (the ok button).
Hi!
I am new here so please don't be angry for my next questions
I just want root my Redmi Note 7 and keep OTP updates.
I read so many threads and this is my conclusion:
First I must apply for unlocking bootloader. Then flash TWRP recovery from here. After this flash Magisk through TWRP and that is it!
When phone notifies me that there is a new software update, I must download recovery rom from here, put it in internal memory, flash it and flash immediately Magisk again (flashing Magisk is mandatory after every software update to keep root).
Can anybody confirm that this is right way?
Thank You in advance.

Can I do that in TWRP or I must unpack rom on computer and pack it as zip again?

I think that you can do that from twrp but i'm not 100% sure. From computer you don't need to unpack and repack, just open the zip with 7zip or unrar (i'm on linux and don't know which program you use for zip files) and delete the file

I'm using Windows and WinRAR. Will try after I download recovery rom (my dl speed is ****ty so it wont be soon)

Are you sure you downloaded the right rom? Error 7 is a mismatch of the firmware
Just come to say that everything went fine.
I didn't need to wait for unlock bootloader. I bought phone 2 weeks ago and using it normally and when I start unlock procedure it unlock without waiting time (I saw that someone must wait 720 hours!!).
I flash twrp and magisk (I had fingerprint lock so after flashing I did data erase) and now I have rooted phone
So, I have a my Redmi Note 7 keeps telling me that there is a new update which is V10.3.10.0.PFGMIXM
I didn't want to install it since I was happy with my phone. But now the notification is not going away and it is always there. So I tried to install it from OTA but since my phone is unlocked and has TWRP on it, the update can't be installed.
My questions are:
- Should I download the rom and flash it through TWRP?
- How should I flash it without being have to make a factory reset? Is it posible not to loose any data? And if so, is it bad to flash it just like that?
- There is a kernel which is called EVIRA that I want to flash, too. So the order should be:
Rom + Kernel + Minsk, is that correct?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: There are 2 versions of the new rom:
Recovery Rom and Fastboor Rom.

What is the difference? Which one should I download?

1) download the full recovery rom
2) reboot to twrp
3) wipe dalvik art/cache and cache
4) flash the rom, the kernel and magisk in this order. Don't reboot to system until you have flashed magisk
5) reboot to system
6) enjoy
If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete the file compatibility.zip from the rom zip
Is updating ota with full recovery rom via twrp erase internal data or installed app?

If you do an update there should be no data loss however it is always recommended to have a backup of your data
