[WIP] CyanogenMod 12 [ZE500CL] - ZenFone 2 General

So I've ported CM to ZE500CL, I need a way to flash the system cause recovery gives an update binary error( tried changing the mount points in updater-script but didn't work, flashes other zips flawlessly though). Can anyone tell me how I can pack the system folder to an img file that is flashbable through fastboot mode? I've successfully ported a kernel and a recovery from Zenfone5. The TWRP works like a charm but the phone won't boot without the system.

I hope you will find way to make it, because I am waiting it so much!

So I restored only the boot.IMG from a nandroid backup
It was successful, and booted system
Most of the apps were working.
Camera is not functioning as if it is not detecting camera
I even tried to remove cynogenmod completely and then
Install cm13 latest release newly
It didn't work
I tried to sideload the new update
It also didn't work

In the tutorial
They said to replace the zimage file from stock boot to port boot IMG
Copy the init.rc

Root RedmI Note 3 snapdradon MIUI 8 6.9.9 developer rom (marshmallow)

Since, the release of the Android M. Google make it hard to root your device. On MIUI 8 with marshmallow I have been trying to figure out a way to root my device. In almost every case I found myself in a boot loop. So after a long work i finally succeed to root my redmi note 3 with no error and bootloop.
I am not responsible for any damage to your devices,loss or damage caused, or alleged to have been caused, directly or indirectly, by the informations or ideas suggested or referenced, etc. If you get a boot loop you can get back to booting by simply flashing the stock "M" system image via fastboot. or Mi flash tool.
Please try at your own risk. Your warranty is now void.
PRE-REQUIREMENTS
1. redmi note 3 ( SD only) with official MiUI 8 6.9.9 developers rom (marshmallow update) :good:
2. officially unlocked bootloader.
3. TWRP recovery ( alka twrp recommended ).
4. patched boot image given below.
5.brain

boot.img - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24727369092694141
2. copy both the files (boot.img and SuperSu.zip) to your external SD card.
3. now reboot the device in recovery and go to mount section and mount all the partitions.
4. now go to install and go to SD card and flash SuperSu.zip.
5. as the super su is installed go back in install section and select install image.

I am on Miui8 6.9.15 Marshmallow, used supersu.zip, boot.img for rooting..., successfully rooted but some times when I restart the device network gone, sometimes bootloop is occurring.. So I need to flash boot.img again and again.. This is taking a lot of time.. What to do?
Just flash supersu stable using ZCX twrp. Head over supersu xda thread for latest stable flashable zip. Worked for me without any issue.

Lemfo lem5 custom recovery - twrp

Was able to port twrp recovery of blitz smartwatch after unpacking and replacing the kernel file with the lemfo lem5's stock kernel file extracted from unpacking stock recovery of lemfo lem5 and then repacking and flashing it to lemfo lem5. The recovery got successfully installed and all features are working except the recovery screen is flipped / inverted but not the touch response. The touch inputs are the same as non inverted screen and using the touch is pain in the a**s. If the touch input field is at 45 degrees then to access it, need to tap at 225 degrees and on the same radius distance. Can anyone let me know how to flip the recovery screen without affecting the touch fields or is there a similar custom recovery for mtk6580 lollipop smartwatch with flipped screen.
I have not found solution
Same problem with kw88h
And all twrp apk from playstore does not recognize as twrp
Recovery
Flashify can make the job
Only commands from adb... for wipe.
There is not enough space to backup or restore and i think only root and flasify is all you need.

I have got everything working in twrp recovery. The flip recovery is no more a problem now as with some practice now I am comfortably able to use this inverted twrp touch with ease. It works like a charm and just like the official twrp recovery. No problems at all. Now everything is set : bootloader unlocked, rooted with latest binary supersu, custom twrp recovery installed. I also have the stock recovery img backup file, hence can switch back and forth between stock and custom recovery whenever required. No space issue on lemfo lem5 as it has 8gb rom. lastly only xposed installer is to be installed which is not much of a problem as they are available for lollipop with supported sdk and for which as of now I don't see the use of xposed installer right now, hence will install when required. If I am able to somehow flip the recovery screen then that's it! ?

If your rom size is not sufficient enough for backup then you can create full rom backup on pc and can restore the same from pc when the need arises. There are software packages available for the same

I have with chainfire but never had any problem to recover
Thanks
Gautam_Gundap, fantastic work - You've beaten me to the punch as I had been messing with this device since yesterday (already fixed two bootloops I had induced myself -_- ) and I've been looking for a method for porting a TWRP img that wouldn't brick the LEM5.
Would you mind sharing the port? ..Despite the mirrored display/input issues you have so far, having any recovery method right now is very appealing to me considering the hell I had luckily sidestepped, and want to dig further into their stock images: if only to rebuild them with better icons for starters....
If not, can you just run me through your steps for full-backup, and your modification of TWRP for use with LEM5? I don't mind doing the legwork but would rather not walk this firepath alone!

There are many advantages of twrp custom recovery, one of them being very fast full rom backup and even faster full rom restore and that too with compression, the pc whereas takes at least 10 times the time to do the same. full rom restore for me does it within 4mins and backup size of full compressed rom is only 1.64GB whereas the pc takes 7GB for the same backup. Needless to say about advantages of other features like customized wipe, flash image and zip files etc. Now for the procedure for porting twrp custom recovery is as follows
Download latest version of mtk extractor for PC. I tried all other methods, but only this one worked for me.
Download custom twrp recovery of blitz or i2 smartwatch which you will find in this forum.
You will require your stock recovery image file for this method. Your watch needs to be rooted to extract the same. Flashify app from playstore will do the job.
Connect watch to pc. Hope you know how to do this. rename stock recovery img to boot. Open mtk extractor and unpack this renamed file. You will find the unpacked files in mtk folder.
Cut these files and paste in a new folder stock recovery.
now rename the custom twrp recovery img you are going to port to boot.
Unpack it, the files will be placed in mtk folder.
Now copy kernel file from the stock recovery folder and paste it in the new unpacked files of ported twrp. PC Prompts replace - yes.
Now repack and you will get boot.img. Rename to recovery.img.
Flash this via fastboot or Flashify. Done. You have now successfully installed twrp recovery.
Note: In the mtk extractor software use the boot feature for all above steps.
If you encounter any problems post here and I will fix it.
To use pc for full rom backup and restore and many other features use cracked version of miracle box v2. 27A. Mtk Droid tools and SP flash tools do not support this watch, so don't waste time trying with it.
Xposed framework installed successfully!
Anyone need full power button menu for lemfo lem5 install advance power menu app from playstore. It works well. Once you long press the power button you get options for power off, reboot, download, recovery, UI restart , screen shot, soft reboot and safe mode reboot. Select floating mode from settings. looks and works nice on smart watch display

Very cool - seems straightforward enough. I'll see if I can find something to fix up or workaround to get the rotation back while I'm at it. First thing's first is to give this a shot though. Need to get a windows machine so I'll get it going at work tomorrow!
Will update again soon. Thanks so much for the steps!
Hi guys.. root + twrp ok.. but there are Custom ROM with full smartwatch function (not only standalone)? Or the only one solution (partial solution) is M2D?
Well done! :laugh: I've configured Lem5 TWRP how u can see here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/twrp-lemfo-lem-5-twrp-t3544569
I think/hope i've solved recovery flipped screen issue, because X5 TWRP haven't this problem.
X5 TWRP + Lem5 kernel = solution? I hope so!
If someone want try, please post the result. Thanx at all...!

My watch is now bootlooping over and over again in TWRP, says:

if your bootloader is locked, it will not allow you to flash twrp recovery via fastboot . Use SP FLASH TOOLS for this purpose. Once you flash recovery do not reboot to system. Reboot to recovery for the first time and then it should be ok. Else root your watch first and flash recovery using Flashify. This method will also do the job.

If you are unable to reboot to system, then you need to re flash complete stock rom. You can do this using cracked miracle software. I have already uploaded full stock rom for flashing via cracked miracle box software except data/userdata partition . you can find it in one of the lemfo lem5 threads here. After re flash you can use the steps explained earlier to flash twrp recovery
I just released a fully working TWRP 3.0.2 recovery for X5+ and LEM5 here:

[D5803][Z3C][UB] Russel5's TWRP 3.1.1-0 FOTA Recovery MOD

Guys.
I made a bit modified version of @russel5 very nice work for our Z3C:
- A bit more colors, nice navbar buttons and new navbar background (fits to main screen background)
- More img flash options (be carefull with img flash because wrong flashes can brick you phone)

- New with 3.1.0-0: Additional partition for backup/restore: mmcblk1p2 ext4 mounted to /sd-ext - This is second partition on external SD Card, if available.
- New with 3.1.1-0: All above mentioned changes and official ones: https://twrp.me/site/update/2017/05/19/twrp-3.1.1-0-released.html
Too beauty to keep it only for me
Requirements
Only for Unlocked Bootloader (UB)
New Bootloader needed: LA3.0_M_3
Information
Maybe NOT working with 7.x.x ROMs like (LineageOS/Carbon) - Only tested with MM and stock-like ROM (like SLiMM 3.8).
Please visit corresponing threads for help with TWRP and any 7.x.x ROM.
Installation - 2 Options:
a) Flashable zip via TWRP to update existing.

Maybe i have an idea.... You know how to start FOTA Recovery correctly?
Shut down phone completely - wait 5 secs - Press Power and Vol Down until short vibration - release both keys and wait - done.
Looks like you still booting your system or kernel recovery....
Otherwise check your bootloader - must be LA3.0_M_3 (Service Menu - Service Info - Software Info - S1 Boot Version)
UPDATE 15.03.2017
New 3.1.0-0 from @russel5 - Big thx again to him! Say thanks to him - not me!
can someone please explain/summarize for me the differences of twrp recoveries that we have on the z3c. if i got it right, there is (1) old bl recovery = kernel 'attached', (2) new bl recovery = seperated img from kernel and (3) fota recovery wich uses an unused partition of unlocked bl.
is that correct?
whats the advantage of fota? can every custom rom use all the different recoveries? can (2) + (3) be flashed both on the same device?
i am really confused wich version i wanna install and keep on my phone...
thanks

Yes - this all can be confusing!
I'm trying to be complete as I can be - I will mention only the last dev of the tools - Actually many more are involved and often it's an growing work of many - Especially No 1.
1) For LB - We have recovery (and root) for LB - Here the last (and best) rooting and TWRP method is the one from russel5:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/recovery-root-mm-575-lb-t3418714
This installs recovery files to SYSTEM partition folder /system/etc/mm_twrp_recovery
This is file: recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma
2) Only UB - Recovery integrated in Kernel a) and b)
a) Rootkernel (tobias.waldvogel) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...oot-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605
afaik this was one of the first tools which can integrated automaticly very resource-conserving recovery to kernel - Disadvantage: Hard to change TWRP if new version is out.
b) PoC TA Tool (munjeni) https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/poc-real-trim-instead-drm-fix-t3552893
Great quite new tool which can also integrate TWRP (but here the complete fota recovery.img) to kernel: Advantage easy to change TWRP to new version, because full fota revovery.img is used
3) Only UB - Recovery to FOTA partition (now known as recovery partition) - newer bootloader needed
This is the recovery.img you can download from official TWRP page or from russel5 (img to be flashed via fastboot) or from this thread (flashable.zip).
Those recovery.img's are complete bootable images with zImage and ramdisk (TWRP is in ramdisk).
That all means that it's indeed possible to have THREE recvoerys running on one phone! But this is senseless of course !!!
Option 1 is only recomended if you are on LB! But works also for UB. But its away if you flash complete new ROM (as TWRP is on SYSTEM)
Option 2 is.... for what? Let me say: Only if you really need the function to reboot to recovery directly from system.
Option 3 is my favorite (but only for UB) - this is bootable no matter what you did to system or even with kernel!
It's on his own seperate partionen and save for unwanted modifications, wrong boot or system flashes, etc
Only (and actually not really an) disadvantage is that you have to start this from shutted down phone... Reboot to recovery is not working!

Wow, thanks a lot @fluffi444!! It's even more complicated than I thaught. WHAT A MESS! :silly:
Well I'am still on Concept Rom --> Bootloader LA3.0_L_Hero_16. I guess that one is close to LA3.0_M_3? Don't remember where I got my TWRP 3.0.0.0 version from, but i flashed it as recovery.img, so it should be fota-type, right? Actually I can reboot from system to recovery ...
I think I'll keep this one as is and see if I need a newer version one day, when i change system to any Nougat rom.

Yes - flashing by fastboot goes to FOTA/Recovery partition... Yes - keep it - I don't even know how Concept N or M will react...
Did anyone tried to do backup/restore with this recovery?
I am using it since flashing to LineageOS 14.1 and did multiple backups. Tonight I broken my google account in the ROM, so I wanted to restore to last backup. I already tried four of my backups and all of them are bootlooping, so I am starting to suspect the recovery, as all of those backups were done from perfectly working system.

Yes - fully working here. Even Restore. But I still use 6.0.1.
But sometimes (not recovery version related) its not enough to restore only DATA or only SYSTEM.
It happens to me that only an complete restore of all saved partition did the trick...
But as I said that happens also with older recoverys or/and not modded.

But as I said that happens also with older recoverys or/and not modded.

Then it must be something either with my setup, or with 7.1.1 itself.
I tried everything: partial restore, full restore, new flash with recovering of data partition only... Everything was bootlooping.
I am not sure what finally worked, as I was trying it desperately for hours, but most probably the last mentioned thing without flashing Magisk.

UPDATE 18.06.2017
New 3.1.1-0 from Russel5 - Modded by me. Thanks to Russel5 and TWRP-Team.

Hi, i know the sad answer... the problem its the screen, Original Screen (broken touch panel) show perfect Recovery but the "new" screen its the problem... its compatible but not 100% :_(
It´s curious a normal Recovery show OK but not FOTA
Hi there,
booting this current version of TWRP from `recovery/fota` is not working for me. The device just reboots but should load TWRP. I flashed it via `fastboot flash recovery [twrp.img]` without any errors.
TWRP is booting if I flash it to `boot` instead of `recovery`. I flashed CarbonROM this way but lost TWRP after that of course. I also tried [russel5's TWRP 3.1.1-0] which is not booting from `recovery/fota` either. However, an older TWRP version by Tomascus I found -> here <- is booting fine from `recovery/fota`.
Maybe this is bootloader related but I am not entirely sure. If so, how can I update the bootloader?
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact D5803
- Bootloader: 1286-7314_S1_Boot_MSM8974AC_LA3.0_52-2
- ROM: CARBON-CR-5.1-MOO-RELEASE-z3c-20170918-1012
TWRP's tried:
- Russel5's TWRP 3.1.1-0 FOTA Recovery MOD by fluffi444
- [D5803,z3c,aries]Twrp_3.1.1-0_img_for_unlocked_bootloader by russel5
- Tomascus TWRP 3.1.0-0

My MOD is technically the same as original one from Russel. So please ask in his thread (you did this already... btw: please do not post the same question in several threads)
I never tried 7.x.x-based ROMs. So I cannot say anything reladed to the compatibility I'm afraid. MM with stock-like ROM is working with 3.1.1.0 (from Russel).
I will make an note in OP...
And note this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71882082&postcount=12
I am trying to install a newer TWRP for Carbon Mod custom rom. I tried:
- install .img with TWRP in TWRP
- flashify
- official app TWRP from google play
- fastboot commands with "platform-tools"
Everywhere I get a message that everything went fine but in TWRP I still have the old version - 3.0.0.2 :/
I am asking for help because I have been fighting this from two days :/
I have Xperia Z3C with unlocked bootloader, stock prerooted firmware .291 + EliteKernel v3.

To which partition have you installed the TWRP image file? Starting with your phone turned off, f it's been sent to the FOTAKernel partition, hold both the power and the volume down buttons until your phone vibrates (as if it was booting up normally), when you should release the power button. When the screen lights up, release the volume down button.
Otherwise, if you installed TWRP in the recovery partition, boot your phone up as usual. When you see the led lit up, press the volume button.

Thank you very much for the answer. Starting the phone with Power + VolUp does not do anything. The phone shows the Sony logo and the system starts.
I installed the IMG file in recovery / fota and the ZIP version doesn't ask for locations.

[Port] [Recovery] BLU DASH M 2 - CTR Carliv Touch Recovery 6.6.1 - Root not required

We have the first port and root for this highly unpopular BLU phone.
BLU DASH M 2 - Carliv Touch Recovery 6.6.1 aka CTR​I have managed to replace the stock recovery and still keep the stock system since there are no customs roms at the moment. The recovery doesn't require you to be rooted but rooting is possible after flashing or booting this rom. Don't fall for the fake Dash files on youtube, I have downloaded them all and they are copies of similar phones and don't work.. This one is ported over from the D070Q by Carliv.
It will not flash a full custom rom but will flash ZIPs so you can root, recover, flash partitions and hopefully pave the way for a TWRP . I do have a TWRP ported over to the BLU Dash M 2 but the touch doesn't work so you can't pass the first swipe screen.
DOWNLOAD from uploadfiles.io @ https://ufile.io/8oc6k​
Instructions
- Make sure to backup any important files, this will wipe your data pics, vids, etc..
- Enable OEM unlock under developer options and power down phone
- Boot to stock recovery by holding PWR + VOL UP
- In recovery choose "Reboot to Bootloader" ( aka fastboot )
- You should now be at a blank screen with Fastboot mode: at the bottom
Open your terminal and type the following code, obviously replacing your paths with the correct ones.
fasboot devices < --- will return a serial number or something to indicate connection is OK
fastboot oem unlock <--- will prompt your phone screen to accept unlock request, chose VOL Up to accept and make sure it says "Unlock pass" at the bottom
For testing only
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot CTR_6.6.1_BLU_DASH_M2_D090U.img
For permanent flash
fastboot flash recovery CTR_6.6.1_BLU_DASH_M2_D090U.img
Don't power down, instead boot in the same recovery
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot CTR_6.6.1_BLU_DASH_M2_D090U.img
Inside CTR select Wipe cache, Dalvik cache, Userdata / Data.
Select Reboot Phone from CTR menu and when asked to patch , Select " NO "
On first reboot it will reboot twice, then boot the stock system as if it was a factory reset.
This now paves the way for root with Magisk. See my post after this for rooting Blu Dash M2.
Enjoy !

Hey Thank you, got it working. Had to alter it a bit though. Had to select "Yes" for the fix as mine was restoring the old recovery.
Also when I followed your method, the system was not mounting the internal storage.
So I didn't wipe the data and used "Yes" when rebooting and the recovery is good.
I'll be looking out for the root constructions.
Great tutorial though.

That will not work for root because Magisk needs the original boot rom. I'm sure it worked for you and that's a good start but wiping the partitions in order does work as well, I probably just left something out or got the order wrong. It's important we don't use CTR to patch because then Magisk complains about boot img being aleady patched and doesn't work.
Anyway you get the idea, it took me a few tries as well but in the end I managed to keep all 3 features intact, the stock rom + CTR + root. If you need to start again you don't need the full rom or sp flash, just flashing system.img to sytem partition works to restore everything.
I'm hoping to find the source code to the kernel and make a TWRP with touch working but the CTR is the only thing we have so far. It does flash zips just not full operating systems. It also flashes boot and recovery partitions.
Thanks, I can restore and try again. Do you have the tutorial for the magisk to root?

I think most can figure out Magisk from here, the real hurdle was the lack of a recovery because the stock rom doesn't allow Magisk to be flashed.
Thanks, I already started checking in on it... I'll update here once I get through.
How to Root Blu Dash M 2 with Magisk​
I have managed to root the stock system using Magisk. The stock recovery will not let you do this, as usual ignore the garbage on youtube and personal blogs, they're giving false info and fake files. This method works and I'm the first user who ported CTR 6.6 to allow for this.
DOWNLOAD Magisk from developer https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
FOLLOW THE ABOVE POST to replace stock recovery with CTR 6.6​
Instructions
- Follow first post to install CTR 6.6 recovery and reboot a couple of times to make sure it stuck.
- Enable OEM unlock under developer options and power down phone
- Boot to new CT 6.6 recovery by pressing PWR + VOL UP
- In recovery choose "Install Zip" and choose the "Magisk.zip" from your /SDCARD
Magisk installer will launch and if you did everything right, complete without errors.
- Select Reboot Phone from CTR menu and when asked to patch , Select " NO "
Phone should now reboot twice and have Magisk installed. I have verified root by deleting protected files like default.prop and gave Root Explorer permanent root access. If something doesn't work just find the right sequence. I believe it was flash system, flash recovery. wipe partitions. flash magisk
Enjoy !
The only thing left do now is find the Blu kernel source code for the M2 so a working TWRP can be compiled from scratch, then any MT6580 rom should be flashable.
Perfectly... Got it working using your same method after reinstalling the firmware... only difference was.
After installing recovery and booting into it, I then installed Magisk via adb sideload.
Confirmed root works.
Thank you very much for your patience and assistance

Thank you very much! You do not know how much I needed to be root! I thought that this device was impossible to root. I really am very grateful. Friend was asking me if you could adapt the custom Slimrom rom for this device? because all the storage of this one takes the system, it would be of great help for all the users of this phone, I do not know if you can or are interested, but I thank you in advance

Hi, can you provide a download link that doesn't require you to get a premium account to access the file. It's against XDA rules.​

It is not premium, the file just expired so the site will keep it on line for a fee. I'll upload it again.

Try this one.. if the host tries to replace it with the original let us know and one of the others who have the file will re upload it to another host. I don't feel like signing up anywhere so that is why I use this host.

All 'ya 'all are welcome . Unfortunately I can't go any further because there is no source for the kernel so TWRP won't work because there is no touch to get past the first screen. Otherwise if it. did slim rom would flash without any problems, its just these older recoveries don't support a few things that TWRP has to make flashing full roms successful. If someone has source files for the BLU Dash M2 let me know.
I'll just let you guys know, I managed to make a pretty good custom rom with root only by deleteing everything but the core OS. I don't recommend this for everyone but I did get rid of just about everything and made this 6.0 more like 4.4 .. I got it to the point where even the phone and SMS didn't work and the google framework was deleted, then slowly began adding my approved versions of apps. Now its totally de googled but again I realize this isn't for everyone. I just wanted a small rom with camera ad GPS and those are working fine for me.
Custom recovery link taken down again
Could someone please upload the custom recovery again?
