[GUIDE][ROOT] How to apply OTA update and reroot your device (XXLK2) [Dirty]

First of all: All credits go to qzem, diego-ch and team win. I just explain how to apply OTA update and reroot your device.
The files you need: http://www.mediafire.com/?l3zdsxkvdek9s5x
This is what worked for me - it's very dirty, but it works.
0. BACKUP your phone with TWRP! (If you did not install the twrp kernel, do it first)
1. Download Stock ROM: here or from sammobile
2. Extract kernel from the firmware-package - or use xxlk2.tar.md5 and go to 3. if you feel adventurous (I'm not sure if the xxlk2.tar.md5 works on other devices than swiss-ones)
- Open the big *.tar.md5 with 7zip
- Extract kernel.bin.md5
- Follow the instructions described here and create a *.tar.md5 file for your kernel (use cygwin if you are on a windows machine)
3. Flash the whole Firmware with Odin (PDA file) - your data and settings won't be lost
4. Shut down your phone and go into download mode. Install the rootkernel_xxld1.tar.md5 from the package (ODIN - PDA)
5. Start your phone, check if root access is working
6. Back to Bootloader one more time - Flash your newly created kernel.tar.md5 (or the xxlk2.tar.md5) with odin
7. Start your phone - Start BusyBox and install the binaries
8. Your phone should now be updated and rooted - but without twrp! (just flash the old twrp kernel if you need twrp)

What about the binary counter ?

it will increase. I do not worry anymore about it... mine is at 14...

Hi, I downloaded the stock rom and flashed it. Then when I try to flash rootkernel_xxld1.tar.md5 odin says that the md5 hash value is not correct. I tried to extract the kernel.bin.md5 from it and flash it but it does not get flashed: it says succeed 0/ failed 0

Are you sure you don't lose your apps/data and settings after flashing with odin?

I think difference are in provider you are on. See what provider is yours, and find it on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Belgium isn't listed in the list there, so i guess there's no firmware available for my country. Well, that sucks :/

For step 7 if you can't handle it, download your firmware, extract kernel.bin.md5 from it and post it there. After rooting use Triangle Away to remove binary counter.

The absolute way to roll back from 513 and 511 to Lollipop

Hi everyone,
Roll Back from 513 to 331 all credit for @chudy_85 check the link here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65371195&postcount=207
this is the absolute way to roll back from Marshmallow B511 to any previous version whatever it's a lollipop or kitkat.......
(As usual the risk is on your responsibility)
New edit
Working now on MT7-L09
Thx to pasquyx and Shadow_recruit for testing it on MT7-L09
you should have root on the device
Files you may need:
1- Roll back file (this is the trick)- BOTH MODEL
DRIVE
LINK
UPLOADED
LINK
MEGA
LINK
2- rom B326 for middle east
(MT7-TL10)
LINK
(MT7-L09)
LINK
3- oeminfo file for China (don't worry it will not change the iemi numbers)
LINK
3- FX FILE EXPLORER
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx
4- FX ROOT ADD
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx.rr
5- Build.prop file if you device model showing Jazz
(MT7-TL10)
https://mega.nz/#!20QXmKrZ!HYhN_7u0sBc445C_6r6D4ug2HuqdCgM_721ANosUa9g
(MT7-L09) *NEED TO TEST FROM ANY ONE TO CONFIRM IF IT WORKING
https://mega.nz/#!XhxR2BpD!O6xkfX8MR55imidxwNlH9p3r2ugLOYwnM-dheTOQT38
-extract the file what you donloaded for oeminfo on ext sdcard
-open fx file explorer and grant it from SU, go to system root and make sure you mount read-write
-copy oeminfo from the extsdcard to /dev/block/platform/hi_mci0/by name and agree for overwrite, after that select the file and choose security and mark for all "read-write-exec"
-copy custom.bin for extsd to /data then choose security and mark for all "read-write-exec"
-check the country info now by *#*#2846579## if it cn, so you are on the right way
-now make a restart but first you should be on official recovery, if you are not turn off the phone open it again on bootloader and flash the official recovery ten restart
-after restart it should make "optimizing"
-after it finish take the roll back and put it in dload on the extsd
-make a local update ( if you don't have it go to dial and type *#*#2846579#*#* and choose 4)
after you make a local update the roll back should complete 100% because this file is the only roll back that compitable with B511
I promise you it will success with 100%
then put lollipop rom 326 on dload and make local update
and again I promise you it will success with 100%
-if the device didn't open after 10 mins, flash all files for the 326 by fastboot
Boot
Cache
Recovery
Cust
System
Userdata
-now you have a 326 rom but chines version.
-make root again and replace oeminfo and custom.bin for middle east version here then make a restart
LINK
final step is to make a reset from settings

Files here only for TL10
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Yes, i noticed it. Just downloaded all needed files for L09, i will try later and see what happens.

Tried on l09 but it fails in transition package. downloaded all the files from huawei finnish site. Well, i think i just wait for the complete marshmallow image.
there is something with whatsapp notification, because i don't allways get new message notifications and also usb-debug and hisuite dont work. when i enable usb-debug and connect cable, it won't rise flag about permmisions and computer keeps saying that device is unathorized.

Files you may need:
1- Roll back from lollipop to Kitkat (this is the trick)
DRIVE

UPLOADED

MEGA
LINK
2- for me i tired with kitkat rom B119 sp03
LINK
3- extract all file from B119 Sp03 and be ready to flash all of them via (fastboot)
(so may unlock your bootloader and you should have all files for adb and fastboot)
*recovery
*boot
*cache
*cust
*system
*userdata
it's an easy way, no need to change the location or make any special things \\\\\
download the rollback file which I mentioned before, put it on dload on the extSdcard, and make a local update ( if local update not showing for you try a search for HwOUC.zip and flash it with Twrp recovery)
after you make a local update the roll back should complete 100% because this file is the only roll back that compitable with B511
then put what you want kitkat or lollipop rom ( for me I tried with B119sp03 kitakt and it's fail on 40%)
now enter the bootloader mode and flash all img's for the rom which you tried to flash
after finishing it opne on a stock android, so no issue try a factory reset and everything will be normal after that
Edit (important): to prevent the fail on 5% you should check the location on your device by this code
*#*#2846579#*#*
It should be hw/meafnaf (middle east version)
If it showing "file is not found" try to make a reset from settings>>backup/restore
This is important edit due to the update of B511 is for middle east.....

You can flash stock recovery in fast boot mod if you rooted your device or installed twrp previously:

You should go into bootloader mode and open the command window from the folder that contain the stock recovery by pressing Sift from keyboard and right bottom in the mouse and choose open command window here, then type the following
fastboot flash recovery xxx.img
Replace "xxx" with the name of the img
If it showing okay then failed
Try to unlock the bootloader again by typing
fastboot oem unlock 0000000000
Replace 00000 with your unlock code
Then try to flash again

SP FLASH TOOL Tutorial to install TWRP / Custom Recovery in Lenovo K3 Note

UPDATE: Hi. This is just to notify everyone that I am not maintaining or replying to comments in this thread anymore.
K3 note was one of my most favorite phone of all time, and will always be, but it's way too old now. I am using and doing 'research' on other devices now.
So please pardon me for not replying to you. But you can always find help regarding issues on tons of other places!
:highfive:
​
Installing custom recovery on K3 Note using SP Flash Tool
(COMPLETE TUTORIAL)​
NOTE:
This post helps you if you need to:
1. Fix a bricked device
2. Install custom recovery to install custom rom later
3. Make your device bricked (if you do not follow this post correctly)
You will find the necessary files related to this post in the attachments
First, get your PC ready:
Download and Install "LenovoUsbDriver_v1.1.13.exe", then Restart pc.
Download and extract "SP_Flash_Tool" zip (I used v5.1820_Win, but you may try latest versions)
Link to download : https://spflashtools.com/category/windows
Open SP Flash Tool (Double click on flash_tool.exe from inside the SP Flash Tool folder)
Go to Options > Option... > Download > Tick "DA DL All with Checksum" > Close the options box
Close SP Flash Tool
Now, the flashing part:
Download and Extract "TWRP_v3.0.0-3_for_SP_Flash_Tool.zip" *
Open SP Flash Tool, and From "Download" Tab click on "Scatter-Loading"
Browse the TWRP v3.0.0-3 folder and select the "MT6752_Android_scatter.txt" file > Ok **
Click on "Download" icon
Completely turn off your phone (BUT DO NOT REMOVE BATTERY) and connect it to PC using usb cable.
Wait till the Process completes and a "Download ok" box will appear with a green tick. Disconnect the phone from cable.
Done!
Now press and hold VolumeUp+VolumeDown+PowerButton all three buttons at one untill you see the "TWRP" logo.
The phone will boot into custom recovery you just installed.
Check this screenshot for illustrated steps:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
* The provided folder has TWRP v3.0.0-3 recovery in it
To flash other custom recoveries (Like CWM, or other TWRP versions), follow this:
i. Rename your recovery image file to "recovery.img"
ii. Replace the "recovery.img" file inside the folder from TWRP_v3.0.0-3_for_SP_Flash_Tool.zip with your "recovery.img"
iii. Continue from Step 7
** You can also flash ROW/CUSTOM roms (which are made ready for SP FLASH TOOL) using this method. For that, Just select the scatter file inside the ROM folder (IN STEP 8)
*** REMEMBER If you have a MARSHMALLOW (Android OS 6.0) rom: Marshmallow roms need to be flashed with patched boot image for custom recoveries. Go to the index thread of k50 note for the patched boot images.
And by the way, there's a thanks button below if you find this post helpful! :highfive:

You probably has a marshmallow rom. Marshmallow roms need to flash patched boot image for custom recoveries. Go to the index thread of k50 note for the patched boot images.

If you are rooted, you can do that. Without root this tutorial is the only way.

Only works for me when USB is plugged while holding volume up, else SP flashtool won't start and not responding.

I'm on ROW S327 at the moment. Will this method work for me? Thank you!

Trouble rooting LG Spirit

Trying to use Kingroot as suggested by Korelev in his post explaining how to unlock bootloader. The phone is on debugging mode and MTP mode, but Kingroot is not detecting it (the debugging mode enabled, not the phone). I'm using Lollipop 5.0.1, the build is the one in the post [TWRP flashable] Poland v20b stock rom - Marshmallow (v10i).
Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Are you using kingroot on your pc? Thete's no need since you can just use the app. It doesn't require a computer

Yes I am. Which one is the legit app? There are like 15 apps in the store called "Kingroot" and all of them are trash to sell ads.
Oh my, as I was typing that, I remembered there is a link in the official site to download the apk. I tell you, this happens way too often... Thanks!

When Flash Tool asks you for country/language, don't change the default values (Korea/Korean). It won't make your phone Korean, don't worry. Just leave as it is. Also flash v10f, unless you're from Argentina. Then you need to flash something else as far as I'm aware.

Yes I'm from Argentina, I flashed the v10i like another member stated in his post. What confuses me is that I've done this a couple of times. I would try again without changing values but I already installed MM, TWRP and rooted. So maybe another time. Thanks!

Do steps 1,2,3,4,5,7. Don't do "adb reboot recovery" in the end. Then get TWRP by following this guide. Then use this to get you running Marshmallow. Boot up into Marshmallow. Then "adb reboot recovery" to reboot to recovery and flash the latest SuperSU zip. You could also try Magisk.

Try to factory reset it. It should solve the issue.

To do factory reset on your device turn it off ,and then press and hold the power button and volume down button together at the same time. When you see the lg logo release the power button for a moment while keeping the volume down button then press the power button again. It should boot into factory reset menu.
Please hit the thanks button, if it worked.

Hi Sheebee,
I haven't found any bug usung the recovery.
And about the install steps, they are the usual to install twrp.
1. Unlock bootloader.
2. Flash with Odin in AP side the twrp file.
3. Reboot in recovery Mode.
---‐-------------------
4. If you want install magisk or rom. Install it
5. Reboot settings power off.
6. Automatically turn on in recovery Mode.
7. Wipe data.
8. Reboot settings and system.
And thats all.
Sorry for no show the steps.
Byeeee

Thanks Shiresp, may the force be with you! Let us know if you find appropriate ROM.

1. In Odin uncheck auto reboot.
2. In AP side select twrp file.
3. Flash the file.
4. Press In the device volume down and power, when phone rebooting and before logo press volume up and power. When warning about custom firmware installed, release power button.
5. Into twrp flash samsung disabler 3.0 and flash magisk.
6. Option reboot -> power off.
7. Device rebooting again in twrp automatically.
8. Factory data, no factory reset.
9. Option reboot -> system
10. Device will reboot normally. But this first power on system is normal that it takes a few minutes to start the phone completely.
That's the steps I follow with all twrp I have installed.
BYE!!!

The tree was still WIP for official release, that's the reason for which it wasn't on XDA yet. I also see you didn't post any links to sources, neither credits whatsoever.
I opened a thread for Official TWRP here, with more instructions, FAQ and everything needed.

sorry,
I assumed that the sources we all knew are from github. Without the work of those people developing in the repositories, the compilation of the recovery would be impossible.
I have only compiled the recovery because I needed it personally for 4 n980f.
