[Request] Custom recovery for E7 running lollipop

After updating my e700h to stock 5.1.1 i had rooted it successfully using KingRoot
Now I need to flash xposed framework zip file that needs a custom recovery
I tried TWRP for kitkat and it didnt work
I even tried a lolipop compatible CWM for E5 and it was very funny and useless
So can anyone compile any custom recovery for E7 running 5.1.1
Here's the img file of the stock recovery

Thanks

You can flash it with the app Flashify or I have just uploaded the odin flashable zip . So that it can be flashed directly. I suggest to use the odin method.

it keeps rebooting into recovery

i reflashed my stock rom then flashed the cfroot and then the img file and i get recovery loop
which part did i do wrong? i did the reflashing of stock cuz i was expecting that it would go smoothly with freshly flashed stock rom

It looks like a bug. Meanwhile you can try to flash stock recov again and do it all over again. This time flash the twrp with odin and uncheck auto reboot and reboot it manually.
And avoid rebootinh to recovery from the system. Boot to recovery only through the hardware buttons. (3 button combo) volume up+home button+power button.
And the restart button is volume down+power long press it.

Sorry for replying here, I'm still below 10 posts so I cant reply to your original post
First: no words are enough to thank you for you effort. It's working and really amazing. Thanks a lot
But I noticed something: when I tried to flash a rom that I have just created, I got an error message "This rom is for e73g while this device is e5lte" I dont know whether this is a problem in my device or it's recovery related
BTW I'm trying to create a deodexed debloated stock rom
Thanks again

Thanks for thanking me??hashiesh.
This is not the problem of the device nor recovery. In the META-INF folder in the Rom zip there is a file names UPDATERSCRIPT. Open it in notepad++ or any other tool and remove the first 3 lines.
There should be something written assert. It checks the device name.
So remove it and you are good to go.
Attach or share the updaterscript here so that we can look at it.
After success you can share the ROM in here.

Thank you for your information, I found the 3 lines of "asserts" but i'm trying to set the assert to "e5lte" and will update you if it worked.
Sure I will upload it and it will be the first time to upload a rom after years of modifying stock and custom roms without even creating a flashable zip file
I'm planning to create 3 roms
1. Stock deoedexed deknoxed rooted with busybox
2. same as 1 but debloated (I consider all samsung apps to be bloatware)
3. Will try to replace samsung core apps with google ones from stock nexus gapps
so wish me luck and remember that all these are thanks to your TWRP

Got stuck trying to root, just want to return to stock/factory settings.

I'm new so please forgive me and my ignorance through all of this. I had a great root experience with my old LG G3, so when I got my Axon 7 (A2017U) I thought I'd try to root it too. I tried to follow DrakenFX's guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204) but I bit off more than I could chew. I got to the point where I had TWRP up, but this is where I think things started to fall apart. I was confused by the instructions and in a haste I continued anyway. In TWRP I went to Wipe>Format Data typed in yes like TWRP said and boom, I had no idea what happened. Rebooting only got a screen that said "Type in your password" but my passcode I had on the phone before it bricked didn't work. So by now I start panicking a bit. I thought I made a mistake earlier so I went back and tried to reinstall TWRP by putting the phone into EDL. The phone got stuck that way for a while, but I now I have it in TWRP. Right now, I just want to get back to safe stock android.
I'm 200% sure I messed with something I wasn't supposed to and I believe that is the system image(?)which Draken also linked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68248798&postcount=53). I'm downloading it as I type. I'm going to do my best to leave my phone just like it is right now, in TWRP, and wait for more advice on this before I do anything else.. What I'm curious about is where did I go wrong and what do I need to do to get my phone working again, preferably without returning it? Thank you for any advice you have to offer.
Update: It's worth noting I didn't know to enable OEM Unlocking when I was in stock android. Dumb move I know. I'm new here.

As far as I know I (was) on Android 6.0 A2017U B29. TWRP version 3.0.2-0

Get DrakenFX b29 mergeboot stack and b29 stock system and flash it then u should be OK. I did this too.

I've done the wipes multiple times. It's mostly the downloads I'm having trouble with. How and where do you get them? The links I found were dead or had a slow speed.

Did you save the recovery backup? If you did then use the axon7root.exe to flash the stock recovery. Then download the stock B20 from ZTE.

no no no no ..................... put phone in EDL mode. Copy the stock image into the folder with the axon7root.exe file you used to flash TWRP. Make sure the stock file is named recovery.img (or whatever the TWRP file is named in that folder, it has been a long time since I did this). Then use the axon7root.exe program the exact same way you did before. It will flash the stock recovery. Then in stock recovery you can flash the B20 from ZTE

ok - download it from zte. Put it on your SD card. In recovery select update from SD card. Be warned it will work but it is slow. Also note that while I will not say the bootloader unlock doesn't work on B29, I can say it worked flawlessly on B20. If you want unlocked I recommend doing so on B20.

I tried that. It won't accept the zip file and it's unclear which file to sideload. Would you happen to know? This is what files are in the unpacked zip. https://gyazo.com/c7546c3ed0dcb0972653eaeba42fcb40

Maybe - I'd have to download it to find out. If you can't get stock recovery to take it this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69434328&postcount=17 gives you instructions on what lines to remove from the updater-script to make it flash in TWRP (I didn't have a problem making the stock B20 go in stock recovery, but I was unlocked at the time). You could reflash TWRP and try that.
Or just try this in TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68873482&postcount=2

I'm going to try the first option. The second option's link take horrendously long to download.
Update: Trying to flash from TWRP results in error "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' which makes no sense since update binary is exactly where it should be.
Further Update: It seems that the problem might have been that when I compressed "update.zip" to fix "updater-script" it changed to file path by adding the title of the folder "update" to the beginning. I think that messed with the path giving the the meta-inf error.

No OS, can't mount vendor/product/

Hi there
Today I bought a pair of Bluetooth earphones and noticed that Bluetooth wasn't working anymore, so I decided to factory reset my vanilla ROM (EMUI 5.0).
That didn't work out and eventually I had to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery (so far I tried both TWRP and Revolution) and a custom ROM.
However, something must have gone seriously bad because I now can't mount /product and /version.
When I try to install a rom (EliteROM by HassanMirza), it also tells me it couldn't load /cust and /data as well.
- cust: invalid argument
- data: invalid argument
- product: no such file or directory
- version: no such file or directory
I also tried moving an update.app version to my internal memory but doing that through gives me an error saying there's not enough space.
Pretty much at a loss here, no idea what to do. Anyone got an idea? Even willing to pay to get this fixed.

Can you access fastboot?

Great!! Use huawei update extractor (HERE) to extract all the .img files from the UPDATE.APP and try to flash them via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and so on
This should help you and your phone should boot.

Belgium ftw . Are you from the flanders?

I tried that yesterday, but flashing the system.img file gave an error, something like "sparse flash write failed".
Would you have any idea what the correct build would be for a Belgian VNS-L31 which was previously on EMUI 5.0.
I got my phone with a subscription from Proximus and after the update, it just completely broke (the software I mean).
I'm from Bruges! And you?

Hmmm.. Can you flash stock recovery and dload the firmware?
The build depends on your Cxxx. What is it? I also got my phone from proximus! Assuming you didn't debrand your phone, it should be C02, but maybe you did debrand. However, I would suggest trying to dload the rollback package because you were on nougat. You can find it here. Follow the instructions in the PDF file of the zip package. But first, extract the recovery from UPDATE.APP

Hmm so I've currently moved the update.app file to my external sd (if I'm correct this is the /external_sd/ folder - had to do this through adb because I don't have a card reader atm) and then tried to update by pressing on/off button, volume down, volume up. However, this just brings me back to my Revolution recovery. Should I flash the stock recovery first?

Oh ok never gotten that far, great! So right now I did that but obviously I can't boot now.
I believe I now have to flash the full OS? Would it be ok if I flash TWRP or Revolution back just to use ADB and transfer the other update.app file, flash back to stock recovery and then use DLOAD method again?
Thanks so far for all the help, very much appreciated!

So you flashed the stock ROM and then you dload the Huawei Rollback package? Because if you flashed the rollback package you should be able to boot...

hey dude. I have a similar problem and I just can't solve it. Did you ever get your phone working again?

Baseband file for XT1643 (ATHENE_INDIA) needed

No network on any ROM (stock & LOS-based ROMs). I might have flashed the wrong baseband file, can someone please give me the baseband specifically for India? Baseband required - M8952_70030.25.03.62.01R ATHENE_INDIA_DSDS_CUST

I'm on RR Remix N and have TWRP 3.1.1 shreps for the recovery. I can flash RR without any issues but whenever I try flashing either a JX series ROM or a fully stock ROM, TWRP says 'Invalid Zip File Format'. I have access to both bootloader and recovery, everything else works fine. Can someone please guide me on what to do? Do I have to sideload the ROM via ADB? If so, please enlighten me about the procedure

Why not trying to reflash the twrp(may try another one from official website or of silesh nair on his thread).
I think you might have turn on md5 checksum or another this which keeps verifying the zip and no signature is found.
Reflashing is a good course as it do not erase any data of yours.

I used 3 different versions of TWRP Still didn't help. And the MD5 checksums matched, zip signature verification has been disabled too

Try this and report. After installing wipe cache, dalvik.
If flashing recovery is problem, reflash stock rom w/ stock recovery n boot ans try again to flash twrp, might sovle the issue

Its power button followed by vol up, but hey that recovery ain't gonna help you. Im just saying you to reflash it as it will erase all the data of current twrp recovery which might interfere with another recovery(changes are negligible, but then too).
I gave you link to a 64-bit twrp made by dreamester and silesh nair. Try it and see if it works.

You can not flash stock ROM from TWRP or other custom recovery. You need a PC with Moto Drivers and fastboot tools installed. Then you have to flash the stock rom from fastboot (generally instructions are given inside rom zip in a file called 'flashfile.xml'). I can't say about flashing JX series ROM (maybe it needs you to be on stock first or something like that) but here are the files needed to install Motorola ADB and FASTBOOT drivers and ADB & FASTBOOT tools on windows pc:
https://firmware.center/software/Android/platform-tools/win/ and https://firmware.center/software/Motorola/

To get into stock recovery press VOLUME UP while pressing and holding POWER button but you can't flash custom ROM or wipe SYSTEM from there. For that purpose use Official latest TWRP recovery from their website.

I already have these installed! But when I run RDS and connect my phone in fastboot mode to the computer, RDS doesn't detect it in the program. I mean, the device doesn't show up in the boxes below. But when I run 'fastboot devices' in CMD I can see my device connected. And can you pleeease tell me how to flash ROMs through the stock recovery?

Stock recovery don't flash roms, thats why we use customs recovery. As he mentioned just flash the stock rom, enable usb debugging and oem unlocked. Just flash the files and again flash the recovery which ever suits you and thats it.
Note : take backup first as it wipes your internal storage.

I think reflashing the stock rom is the only thing to do. Read carefully whatever is written in that thread. And see if all the commands are properly exicuted.
I dont know any work around for sim as i have never had that issue. Tell me if its solved or not for just a bit of knowledge.
Edit : just for reference you are not using moto g4 play device, are you?

Standard ROM and recovery cannot be flashed by TWRP, only in fastboot mode.
