If you're on Tmobile and want the 5.1.1 update and on a Mac. Just
1. download the unroot toolkit here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2956434
2. Download the correct factory image from Google.
3. Unzip the .tgz file then the .zip file inside that, and rename the files so that they match the file names inside the unroot toolkit. Every .IMG to its corresponding .IMG file.
4. Replace the new files you just renamed (you should have only had to rename like 2 or 3 files) and all of the rest of the .IMG files into the unroot toolkit folder. It should prompt you if you want to replace all the files because they have the same name. Click OK.
5. Click on the android icon to run the unroot toolkit which will wipe your phone and install the 5.1.1 T-MOBILE update.
Worked for me!

Anyone have have a copy of the decompressed sd bootable el30, I am not sure how to decompress a .tar, and also not sure I could do it at work?
Thanks
I don't think you are supposed to decompress the .tar, you can just flash the .tar straight into ODIN
I am referring to http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html You can book el30 from your sdcard, no need to do a restore and stuff like that, it has a tar.bz file, I am not sure what to do with
You could open the tar with winrar or something similar and extract it, but I'm not sure if it would hinder it in anyway.
use winrar or 7zip to open the .tar.bz file (it's similar to a .zip file)
extract it to your pc (desktop is fine)
copy the "multiboot" directory from your desktop (or wherever you put it) to the ROOT of your SD card
when you want to boot into it, go into recovery and flash multiboot/EL30/boot_EL30.zip
when done, just reboot normally and you will be back into your normal os
Its going to be a big file idk if you want to download that or wait for an upload

Hi I created a bootanimation and want to make it flashable. I followed tutorials from the net and xda. I got two files META-INF and system.
I put my bootanimation.zip in system/media. That's all. I didn't touch META-INF .
After flashing the zip in cwm, it says Installation aborted . Need Help please...
thats because the flashable zip wasnt for your phone
status 0 - wrong update binary
status 6 - wrong update script
here is my template for you
simply download it
open it in winrar (or if using phone just unzip everything)
open the system foler
you will notice a framework folder that is currently empty
you can leave this folder as it is
just create folders to where you want to flash the file to
for example your bootanimation.zip create the following
in the system folder create a folder called media
in the media folder place your bootanimation.zip
the same is true for any other files you want to flash
if you want to flash a file to system/framework just put a file in that folder
if you want to flash a file to system/app just create a folder called app in the system folder and put what you want to flash there
if on winrar you just have to open the zip and right click and create a folder - no need to unzip everything
if on phone and you have unzipped everything just zip everything back up when done
flashable zip template can be download from here
if you are using stock rom you need to enable custom boot animations first using the custom boot enabler zip
(if you already have a custom boot animation and bootanimation.zip working in a custom rom then you dont need to do this)

If just a bootanimanion, push using root browser only
Or using a another flashable bootanimation file and the replace the bootanimation.zip with yours
I attch it . Credits to its maker
works perfectly! thanks
First of all: Tools to be used in this guide were developed by user And_pda from Russian 4pda.ru forum. So all credits must go for And_pda.
The original thread (in Russian) is here. Actually the original thread is about several tools to works with different images for different phones. But we will talk only about Moto X 2014.
The guide will describe how to extract all files from system partition from stock firmware. The tools works under Windows (I personally tested them on Win 7).
As an example we will use FXZ for Brazilian firmware RETBR_XT1097_4.4.4_KXE21.187-30.3_cid12_CFC.xml.zip - the only full firmware available at the moment.
If you unzip stock firmware you will get 5 files, which represents system partition: system.img_sparsechunk.0, system.img_sparsechunk.1, system.img_sparsechunk.2, system.img_sparsechunk.3 and system.img_sparsechunk.4.
There are two steps to be performed to get system file extracted.
Step 1 - it will convert 5 files (system.img_sparsechunk.0, 1, 2, 3, 4) into temporary file system_motoX2.img:
1. Download Sparse-to-Img.zip and extract it.
Lets assume that it is extracted to C:\Sparse-to-Img. If not you have to modify ConvertMotoX2.bat file.
You have to edit the string set wf=C:\Sparse-to-Img\Cygwin\ according to path where you extracted archive.
2. Copy ConvertMotoX2.bat to the folder where stock firmware is unzipped (i.e. where system.img_sparsechunk.0, 1, 2, 3, 4 are located)
3. Run CMD and "cd" to the folder where where stock firmware is unzipped
4. In CMD run ConvertMotoX2.bat. File system_motoX2.img will be created.
Step 2 - it will extract all files and folders from system_motoX2.img:
1. Download ImgExtractor.zip and extract it.
2. Create directory System in the folder where system_motoX2.img is located;
3. Copy ImgExtractor.exe into the folder where system_motoX2.img is located;
4. Run CMD and "cd" to the folder where system_motoX2.img is located
5. In CMD run the following: ImgExtractor system_motoX2.img System
After ImgExtractor finished you will have all system files and folders in System directory.
That's all
PS. ImgExtractor also can extract files from modem firmware (i.e. form NON-HLOS.bin)
So, this can be done to manualy re-lock bootloader, right? I quoted the steps needed to get .img that would be use to flash using fastboot and before fastboot lock, right? If I'm wrong let me know and I'll delete this post, so it doens't confuses anyone.

I am sure that flashing temporary file system_motoX2.img will not allow you to manually re-lock bootloader. And I do not recommend to flash it.
wow, Great!

functionally perfect in extraction system, of moto maxx (XT1225) thanks :good:
So I rooted my device, hten followed a guide, that Instructed me to replace two files in the system/framework folder, services.jar and services.odex, i backed them up, but like a fool i backed them up in the same folder, which i can't access, I can restore from CWM and i was actually hoping someone had a system recovery that i could borrow, since i can't seem to figure out how to change the files back within my cwm backup.

Okay, slow down. You can fix this. There are only a few steps:
1. Download the stock odexed rom. You can find it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712466565
2. Extract the stock rom.
3. Navigate to the system/framework folder
4. Copy services.jar and services.odex to your phone (download folder or anywhere on your sdcard is fine)
5. Since you are rooted, you can use a root file explorer to copy those files to your system/framework folder on your phone. Locate the two files you copied from the stock odex rom on your computer. Paste these into system framework, and overwrite the two existing files (you can use ES file manager or other root browser to accomplish this)
That's it! There are many other ways to do this, but this is probably the simplest.
I'd just flash a custom rom with hotspot though
I found a site with a tutorial on how to install Android 7.0 on P9 lite.On version VNS-L31C636B361 there are 3 files, and acording to them, you need to follow these steps:
Extract the contents of the zip files you downloaded from above.
Create a folder named “dload” in the root directory of your device’s SDcard.
Copy all the extracted contents of the zips into the dload folder.
Open the dialer app and dial *#*# 2846579#*# *
Select Project Menu > Software upgrade > SDcard upgrade > confirm the installation.
The firmware will begin installing and once that is done your device will reboot automatically.
But the problem is, if I extract all the contents from all 3 files, some of them have the same name and overwrite, and when I try to install by *#*# 2846579#*# *, it stops after 5% and gives me fail error.
What is the correct way to install and why are there 3 separate files ? (also, do I need to have some settings ? the phone should be connected to PC while installing ? )
Thank you very much!
What model you have?
Seems you have another oeminfo...
i have the same problem, it runs now on version vns-l31c432b161, if a want to install android 7 i get the same message as above

the omeinfo is 100% the same, otherwise if would have said its not compatible.The problem is there are 3 different files for this model to download, and if u extract them in the same folder, they overwrite ? What is the correct way to install them ?

Good to know!
If you are in MM 6.0 you can not go to Nougat 7.0 without some preparation until Huawei release official version.
I you are already in Nougat 7.0 (B3xx) you can go to B360-B361, directly with Sdcard upgrade or with three keys pressed method.
U dint answer my question though.Let me be more clear.
Here is a tutorial on how to install Android 7.0 on P9 Lite: http://www.droidviews.com/update-huawei-p9-lite-manually-official-android-7-0-nougat-emui-5-0/
On my model, there are 3 files:
4. VNS-L31C636B361
update.zip
update_data_full_VNS-L31_B360_hw_meafnaf.zip
update_data_full_VNS-L31_B361_hw_meafnaf.zip
and they say
Extract the contents of the zip files you downloaded from above.
Create a folder named “dload” in the root directory of your device’s SDcard.
Copy all the extracted contents of the zips into the dload folder.
But some of the files from these 3 .zips have the same name, and when I copy them in the same folder, they overwrite.
Is that tutorial sh1t ?
