Working! How to root Tablet Z 10.4.B.0.577 [for UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER only]

Hi friends, I've found a way to root 10.4.B.0.577 android 4.3. Please see the instructions below:
Prerequisite:
1. Download SuperSU flashable at: http://download.chainfire.eu/351/
2. Download extract the boot.img from CM10.2 (attached as well)
3. Download the install fastboot
Steps:
1. Flash the stock ROM of 10.4.B.0.577
2. Put the Tablet Z in fastboot mode (press and hold Vol+ when inserting USB cable)
3. Open a console where the fastboot.exe is located, type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
4. Keep pressing Vol+ for a few times it boots up
5. Install SuperSU as normal
6. Power off the device
7. Flash the stock ROM of 10.4.B.0.577 again BUT EXCLUDE the SYSTEM
8. Boot up and you will have the SuperSU installed
My device is unlocked, I'm not sure if this works for locked bootloader as well. Try at your own risk! This method should work for both WIFI and LTE models.
[Files uploaded again, change 001.boot.zip to boot.zip.001 and do the same to 002 unzip]

This method works fine but only with unlocked bootloader as if you are locked you cant flash boot.img from fastboot

Sorry for asking again, I'm new and I'm struggling with this. I tried to follow your steps (my tablet is a SGP312). I followed the steps, but I'm not sure if the ZIP file with SuperSU has to be downloaded to the tablet or what, as in step 5 you say "install SuperSU as normal". Does that mean through play store ? Directly from the file ? If it´s from the file, how ?
When I tried this in my tablet, after flashing boot.img and rebooting, I got a loader screen where I selected add super used, rebooted, and then... the tablet didn´t start again. It gets stuck in the initial booting screen with the color lights passing.
Also, I noticed that after the fastboot reboot, the message that I got in the loader mentioned SGP311, not 312. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

you have to flash the SuperSU .zip file via CWM. Do you know how to enter CWM and flash a .zip file?

I think through the fastboot reboot, pressing the vol up. When I tried it before I entered in some kind of boot menu, with one option been "install from zip" or something like that but I didn´t try it.
I tried entering in it again and clicked on factory reset hoping that would do a cfresh install, but I still have the same issue: when powering up the tablet it keeps displaying the intro (the color lines) endlessly

you have to follow the guide!! at the step u flash boot.img and restart the tablet you must press rapidly many times to enter the boot menu. There u chose install from zip and find the file SuperSU.zip (i recommend u to use external sd card to save the SuperSU.zip file). When it finish u go back and find the ''Advanced'' option on the boot menu, u press it and then press power off. Then flash the stock ROM of 10.4.B.0.577 again BUT EXCLUDE the SYSTEM!!!

Thanks for your help. Actually I managed to do it pretty much as you said) except the advanced -> power off, which I didn´t know: I assumed that was the way to access the boot menu, and to install Super SU, so I copied the ZIP into my external SDCard, did all the steps, and my tablet came back to life... with SuperSU installed
Lucky me I did a full backup following another guide, because in my desperation to bring my tablet back to life I did a full wipe out / factory reset (which btw didn´t solve anything).
Thanks for your replies and apologies if my questions seemed dumb... It's been many years since I "almost" break a device and lost all the data

Sorry just realized that XDA did not allow .001 and .002. Please download them again, change 001.boot.zip to boot.zip.001 and do the same to 002 to unzip. Alternatively you can download CM10.2 and extract the boot.img from the zip.

Hello,
I have ever update my XTZ on 4.3 JB. Do you think it is necessary to "flashboot" again the new firmware (Step 7) after install of Supersu.zip ?
If yes, can you explain why ?
Thanks for your help

Hello,
At this guide u flash boot.img from CM10.2 ROM (Step 3). At the end you have to reflash the new firmware so the boot, kernel etc change, because if u stay with CM10.2 u will get bootloops!!

Vaggelis AsKyE said:
If you unlock bootloader you can't use music info download and Bravia engine also. Although, I unlocked my bootloader and I followed your guide rooting successfully my Xperia Tablet Z SGP311 with .577 firmware. I used the latest flashtool to unlock the bootloader!!
When I finished all the process of rooting the music info didn't work so I tried to relock the bootloader with flashtool!! I did and guess what!! I have root with locked bootloader, stock firmware and working music info download!!!
You can make a guide that everyone with his own ftf can root his device just unlocking and locking the bootloader!!
The process must be done strictly with flashtool cause it keeps the keys for the relock!!!

Question: if you unlock the bootloader with Sony tools do you loose the music download info and the Bravia engine ????????

Is this is TWRP for Marshmallow? Because the recovery files.you have uploaded are dated 25th September 2015?

@mfbcool yes...this is for Marshmallow... But dont swipe allow modifications!!
Member gettin error after swiping...just do read only...

I root my device by this method yesterday
but today root not work in titanum backup
I check it by root checker and everything is ok

Even though this method works, I would not recommend moving SuperSU to system partition. I didn't moved it and still SU permissions are working fine. I say so because Chainfire in his new SuperSU adopted a 'Systemless Root' method that roots without modifying the system partition so that apps like Android Pay work properly. He achieved this by patching the Boot image and so root is installed in boot image and is enabled at every boot (that's why you may experience some boot loops after rooting). This makes taking OTA updates and unrooting the device easier as you can unroot by flashing the Stock Boot.img instead of flashing the whole system partition.
I believe moving SuperSU to system partition destroys the main purpose and idea Chainfire had while making SuperSU compatible with Marshmallow. We all know EMUI won't update on Rooted devices. So it would be a pain to reflash whole Stock System Partition before taking OTA.

Hi thanks, I'm root my mobile I'm in android 6.0 now how to get back to kikkat a stock rom from twrp

@G E N E R A L open supersu app and tick the mount name separation and restart phone... Titanium, kingroot all will recognize root
Hit thanks if it helps....
@TMDMOOSA if you wanna go back to KK, Flash stock recovery first!!
Then flash the back pkg B320, then B070
If you gets error, flash middle pkg of chc rom and then flash directly KK Rom usin stock recovery!!

hi
plz help
i flash stock recovery and my phone go to rescue mode
help

I have successfully built TWRP 3.0.0-0 for our device which fixes the weird swipe to allow modifications bug and is fully compatible with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495
Also, to re-flash Stock ROM, you don't need to flash Stock Recovery. Huawei phones have 2 inbuilt recoveries. The second recovery (which is the Stock) can be accessed by 3 buttons method (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down).

@mfbcool i saw that thread early... Great work man... I know huawei have 2 inbuilt recoveries but 2nd one is erecovery and thats of no use at all... I tried it too many times!! If twrp 3.0 can flash update.app files,,, it gonna rocks , wish u best of luck man!! You did it

Please anybody help, I don't know who else I should ask for help

I do not know whether or not this helps you in any way, since the original post has been made quite some time ago, but it may be worth a try...
This phone was sold in a few countries, and one of them I know about was Thailand. If you look up the corresponding official ZTE support page, you get this:
http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=CB70AA9C4A8C4F87AB43C34D3608D11E
The direct link to the download is:
http://download.ztedevice.com/support/product/507/6404/sd/20160726173958917.zip
(This phone was also sold in Russia, but the official product page has been removed, and I see nothing on their support page about that.)

They might not be full ROMs, but should they really help, it would be recommended to directly host them somewhere else too, in case they are removed.
ZTE ROMs are a hard task to hunt down, if this does not help I strongly recommend to dig deeper down into their support page...

Dear Member,
i too faced problem in LYF LS-5021 looks same ZTE S7-T920. i found incomplete rom from internet, which failed in flash & came to dead. Later i found update.zip for LYF in that i found that is same as S7.
I edited rawprogram.xml to file given to download & flashed. After flash phone came alive & updated with update.zip.
Now phone came to normal.
May be it will help for u.... attached updater script of Lyf LS-5021.

Inside the zip's from the ZTE -homepage u gonna find the update.zip file .... which perfectly works for the S7.
So ... is the LYF LS-5021 exactly the same phone as the S7 ... any differences?
New ROMs available?

I would also like to know if there are any updates available for the Blade S7 (other than Lolipop 5.1). I managed to download the update.zip from the ztedevice . com website and followed the instruction and was able to update using the Blade S7 ROM but only Lolipop 5.1 is available. Can anyone confirm if LYF LS-5021 ROM can be used on the S7 and what ROM's are available?

The real question is if there is anything official above 5.1 available for the Lyf. Needrom seems to host official 6.0, but it would be nice to confirm that with Lyf support. IDK if they would answer, but you might as well should try your luck with the ZTE ROM compatibility (tough they most likely will not take any responsibility and not advise you to try flashing their ROM). Their support page is here:
https://www.mylyf.com/self-help.html
Also Lyf LS-5021 may be the Lyf Earth?

It is the Lyf Earth 2 (or second gen earth). Just checked Needrom and cannot find any rom for Blade S7 . I will check Needrom for official Lyf 6.0. But thanks for the feedback.

ZTE blade S7 T920
I also have a ZTE blade S7 and I know the suffer of finding this phone's firmware... But I am still a Standard android customizer so yeah after searching the web... No firmware found for this phone... So here's what I've done to make a backup..
I rooted my phone using kingoroot via PC
-steps-
-download the kingoroot application on pc
-install the application on pc.
#on the phone#
- battery charged to 100% because of fear the process will fail because of the battery
-enabled unknown sources in
*settings/security/unknown sources*
-enabled developer options
*settings/about phone/Build number(just keep spamming the build number till it says developer mode enabled)
- go back to settings and enable usb debuging
*settings/developer options/usb debuging(tick the box)
-then connect phone to pc then a small box will show up on the phone
tick allow this pc bla~ bla~ and
press ok or accept
#on the pc#
-open kingoroot application
-wait for the application to load
-then press root device
-if the phone shows something that needs to install ,just press install
-Then the phone will automatically change to a blue screen with percentage numbers on screen.
Wait for 10-20 min
-Then on the phone will show up root success with a giant blue tick
-uninstall all the cleaner or battery saver that is installed by kingoroot...
-then reboot phone...
Now find TWRP recovery from xda somewhere for the zte blade s7
The thread
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....eneral/zte-s7-blade-recovery-cm-t3567806/amp/
Direct download link
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/0B4Ya5mT9NhjqUUZyVTFDT18xQlU
-Download the above file on the phone
- after the download, there will be a file called recovery.img
- open flashify and slide to backup/restore
-backup the current recovery
-after backup slide back to Flash and pick Recovery Image
-pick choose a file and find the recovery.img that we downloaded earlier
And flash
-After flashing is done press flash more and it will leave you on the flash menu...
-press the three dot on the top right or left side (mine is right side)
-choose reboot recovery...
And now twrp will show up...
On first boot to twrp it will ask for allowing to modify the system...
Just swipe the blue circle
And now choose backup
For me, I check all the box to backup everything but the nesesary one is just boot and system...
And wallaahh backup done...
For my recommendation ,backup the file to a memory card and put it in a safe place just for safety.. Because you wont know maybe you'll accidentally deleted the file while formatting...
And that's it... Well done...

Anyone can help?
I need custom rom for zte blade s7

Is there any flashable msm8939.mbn/hex and msimage_8939.mbn for this phone? or any other unbrick method for ZTE Blade S7? I'm searching the net inside out and cant find a thing. Somebody please point in the right direction
I would really appreciate it to the max

We hit a dead end with this phone

I have a way but u need brains to do the following...
-To flash a custom recovery to the phone via sp flash tool or adb
The reason is because I have a backup rom of my zte t920 but it needs a custom recovery to reflash

Anything is doable at this point. So tell me how am I going to flash a custom recovery? I do have the SP flash tool, so what else do I need?
Can you hook me up with your backup rom? I would really appreciate it

I don't see this will help though. The phone wont boot up, so I cant put the phone in recovery mode or download mode.
So I cant flash TWRP or even do SD card upgrade with it. If there's anything in that firmware from the link you left above that
can help boot up the phone again, please by all means point it out.
I really appreciate it thanks

Android 7.1.1 Doogee X5PRO

I have searched, found and tested this rom.
It is a beta but it works very well, I leave the links of the original web where all the information of download and installation is.
I hope this humble contribution helps you.

Hi, and thank you, I already had downloaded the BETA3 version from needROM.com but it seems this is updgraded
---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------
Just a question, I have to use the Flashtool to flash the firmware and after that the TWRP and Supersu options?

I've been using beta4 (and beta3 previously) for months and quite like them. Also, since the original factory rom is filled with adaware, isn't as up-to-date with Android's security patches and doesn't pass SafetyNet, you're gaining a lot and not losing anything switching or rooting for that matter.
Though I still prefer magisk over rooting since it's more secure and more than enough for adaway.

You can but you don't have to. I had a problem flashing beta4 and twrp at one go but booting the phone once with just beta4 and then powering off and flashing twrp and\or rooting afterwards solved that.
Btw, the dev is developing gesture modules for the kernel (built-in beta4) and an app to go with them: http://getbest.ru/kernel_gesture.htm I didn't find the feature useful enough to keep around but it works as advertised and, once again, magisk was enough.
Overall, the rom is an absolute must as far as I'm concerned and I wouldn't be using this phone if it wasn't available. It would have been nice if the dev could keepup with android's patches better but seeing how he's doing a better job than doogee and for free I can't really complain.

Do the camera and fingerprint work?

Hi. I wish to give my really thanks to the developer of this rom.
It solve my problems:
Stock rom R16:
sim card WIND (IT) poor 4G/LTE reception
sim card VODAFONE (IT) no 4G/LTE reception
(tested switching 1-2, various city zones)
This Rom:
both full 4G/LTE reception!!
M.A.

Hello Maria and thanks for your experience.
What can you say to me about the fingerprint and camera functionality?
Do they work fine on this rom?

Hi.
My phone (X5pro) hasn't fingerprint reader.
The camera seems to work in normal way.
M.A.
P.S.: May be it depends by my phone, but sometimes touch is not reponsive; I have to push the power button ("stand-by") and push it again to have normal touch response.

The flash guide you linked is the right guide.
What exact model of phone you have?
Does the scatter and other files are in the same folder? (unzipped, you know).
Does the flashtool give any error message with the 32bit version?
Regards
M.A.

I tried both the 32bit and 64 bit versions of this rom, it's pretty good for a beta. However I had a problem with the screen going dark while using it and once the screen inverted colours randomly. Has anyone else had this problem with this rom? I'm currently using the android 6 stock rom but would love to get 7.1.1 working perfectly.

installed with SP flash tools x5pro-7.1-x32-BETA4 from a stock kernel 6.0 (R16)
with no luck. At booting snowcatPDA logo shows for a while and continuously reboots.
Flashed from ubuntu linux 16.04:
Download Only option (should I have choosen Firmware Upgrade?)
Scatter-loading File MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txt (should I have choosen MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt?)
I had the bootloader locked in development options (had it to be open?)
I also had USB debugging ON
Any tips?

Hi.
Now I'm at home.
Tomorrow morning, when I'll be at office I'll write down steps by steps I did.
(home... office..., reverse of natural manner, because I do all my mobile hobbies at lunch pause; at home PC is used by others )

Hello, here I am.
The follows are the steps, more or less, that I did.
(maybe you already did some of these)
1-Start from official R16 ROM
2- Developer option
#a. Enable USB debug​#b. Enable OEM unlock​
3- Security: allow unknown origin installation
4- Unlock bootloader
#a. Connect in fastboot, from ADB command mode:​type: adb reboot-bootloader ___ (Wait 1-3 second)​type: fastboot devices ___ (verify device is detected)​#b. verify bootloader unlock status​type: fastboot getvar all ___ and you get​= warranty: yes​= unlocked: no​#c. unlock bootloader​type: fastboot oem unlock ___ and you get​-> start unlock flow​---> on screen appear:​vol UP=Yes; void warranty, clear ALL data​vol DWN=no; no unlock​Press Vol UP​#d. verify bootloader unlock status​type: fastboot getvar all ___ and you get​= warranty: no​= unlocked: yes​#e. May be phone restart​
5- shut down phone ___ AND ___ get out battery
6- Flash phone with
MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txt​as per normal way (You know this , after some trying...)​
7- WITHOUT starting phone, ___ Flash TWRP with
MT6735M_TWRPx32_scatter.txt (or the 64, according to the ROM you flashed)​
9- Put battery in ___ AND___ start in TWRP recovery
#a. hold Vol Up, press ON button until appear a micro menu, release buttons​#b. choose recovery with Vol Up and confirm with Vol Down​
10- in recovery, choose wipe, and on bottom of the screen slide for factory reset
11- on TWRP main, choose reboot, power off
12- get out battery for some seconds
13- get in battery and start up (It can take a lot, may be leave the phone connected to main)
This is what I did (if I remember all the single steps...)
Try and report to us.
M.A.

Nope!, in step 9 when trying to start in TWRP recovery I get a continuous bootloop showing SnowcatPDA logo

Hummmm....
It seems won't go in recovery mode, I think.
Try this:
1- flash entire stock ROM
(may be take this ===http://www.doogee.cc/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=29=== just in case)
2- start phone normal, up to home screen (so the phone is as just brougt)
3- power off and try to enter stock Recovery
If it works (and your bootloader is unloked) then try this
Connect phone to PC in fastboot
and enter
fastboot devices (I do this each time, just in case PC don't detect phone)
fastboot boot recovery.img
where recovery.img is your TWRP
The phone should start in TWRP recovery
The fastboot boot recovery.img command
send recovery (kernel?) image to temp phone folder/ram
and boot from that.
It unaffect normal rom/recovery.
By this step, we check If your phone accept this TWRP and sort out some possible troubles.
M.A.

when doing 'fastboot boot TWRP-3.1.1-X5PROx32.img' I get:
USB transferring...
USB transmission OK
and doesn't reboot into recovery but it boots normally
since I'm doing this from stock kernel R16 I wonder whether it's 32 or 64 bits
However I've found recovery-twrp-3.2.0-git-20171204.img that boots!. But I don't have scatter file, only .img! This recovery is from Lineage 14.1, but since this custom ROM installs from TWRP there is no need of scatter file

I've found another TWRP that boots with fastboot boot img: the TWRP recovery for 6.0 in needrom. This one has a scatter file

Hi.
You have to select the file direct from the Needrom site.
www.needrom.com
(up)categories-doogee
on the right, click: Serial X
again, on the right, click: X5pro
and select the TWRP you desire.
(second line, second from left)
(click on "TWRP DG X5Pro (977 dls)")

M.A.
P.S.: even the link is
https://www.needrom.com/server/download.php?name=/2016/12/TWRP_DG_X5Pro.rar
you have to download from the site.

I'll try all this at the weekend, but my two cents are that it won't work. At first attempt I flashed BETA4 with MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txt (so no need to enter recovery and wipe cache/Dalvik) with a bootloop result.
My guess is that there are different ROM versions of X5 pro, and newest are incompatible with SnowcatPDA 7.1.1 firmware. Will see in a few days...

As I was suspecting I get a bootloop after logo. Now the question is: Is there a stable custom ROM (7.1 or newer) that I could use daily instead of MM 6.0 (R16) stock ROM?

phone dead(nothing is appear)

i m flash stock rom using cmd. and after flash complete phone continue restarting and nothing is appear.
nothing means nothing
but screen seems to wake but nothing appear
plz help
here is the link is i used for flashing

Are you able to go in twrp recovery?

Till which step did you reach? What waa the last message you saw on screen?
Charge it for a day, then press vol + button and power button and see if you can get to fast boot. Try plugging USB in and see if it's recognised, otherwise.

That's the link for fastboot flashable rom v323. It will surely revive your max pro. (Credits to Nageen Pawar. Thanks sir)
Boot your phone into fastboot first. Connect it to your pc. Make sure you already installed adb drivers. Then extract the downloaded rom. And finally, run flash_all.

Why to flash twrp. Flash stock recovery via fastboot command. Download stock rom, put it in to internal storage. Now boot in to recovery. Update phone from there. This method will work.

From stock rom also he can make his phone alive/ working.

But from TWRP it's a better option to check.. because his phone is broken when he tried to unroot and reinstall stock rom

i too got same help me from that nothing is displaying and sounds were coming from that i too flashed the same rom help me to get out of this
