MT7-TL 10 B511 Android Marshmallow TWRP Backup

This is a TWRP Backup of the Middle East Marshmallow OTA (B511) for TL 10 International Version:
Link:https://mega.nz/#F!i1QkjLrI
Decription key:!Rj6Iw_--xg8vABPi76NxeQ
Place the file within TWRP>BACKUPS folder in your SD card.
I did a factory reset via TWRP pior to backing-up and did not notice some of the apps (Most Google Apps and some stock Huawei apps like Compass, Mirror, etc.) went missing. So after restoring the back-up, you may restore those missing apps by doing the following:
1.) Download the Stock MM recovery
2.) Boot to fastboot mode then flash the stock recovery.
3.) After rebooting phone boot to stock recovery mode.
4.) On stock recovery choose "Wipe Data/Factory Reset". Once back on the phone will regain all lost apps/icons

I can't remember well but i think I went into recovery (TWRP) to restore a backup
If you cannot go into twrp recovery either to restore a bckp or to flash another rom you need to go into the fastboot procedure, flashing img files from PC. But yoy can see this procedures on other threads

Unable to boot into recovery after latest security patch, lost root.

after flashing the vendor image, i flashed the latest twrp. tried to reboot but unable to go into recovery and stuck in a black screen. Phone boots as normal but lost root. Phone can still be detected by pc, but when i go into bootloader it cant be detected and i flash back stock image. Any help will be appreciated.

Not entirely sure. I would start from scratch and follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928. I would jump to section 11 and go from there. I'm currently waiting for my cache to build after flashing latest stock image from google (MHC1). I followed section 9. Hopefully all goes well. I came from MMB29Q.
---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 AM ----------
well everything went as expected for me. That guide has never let me down. If you're using a toolkit to update I would abandon it. That guide is my bible when it comes to anything regarding modifying the 6p. I have seen multiple threads about TWRP not "sticking" or stuck at boot etc, etc. In order for you obtain root again you're going to need to flash TWRP, boot into it, and flash SU 2.68. There is a test version of TWRP 3.0 floating around that I used with no issues. I'll try to find the link and post it here. If not, maybe another user can post it if they have it handy.

Thanks dude!

thx dude gonna give it a shot

Lineage OS (official nightly) installation problem

I was trying to flash official lineage os downloaded from official website through twrp but ended up with an error i can't figure out what to do of. i am uploading screenshot of twrp. help.

Are you coming from Cos 12.1 ?
Than you need to flash ZUI 2.5 ROM first or cm-13 ROM .
Because even if you flash nogout some problem like sim1 will stay always active and sim2 will be greyed out.

i am on zui 2.3.045

Error 7 is caused by the custom recoveries. It occurs both on CWM and TWRP. Just wipe the whole phone and via ADB boot it to recovery (Command 'adb reboot recovery' -- without quotes.) Then copy the ROM to internal storage and now flash. It will work like a charm.

Huh? How will that help? Why do need a 6.0 M ROM before you flash nougat? You can't dirty flash Lineage. It'll end in a boot loop. You have to wipe and flash. So how will the ROM that was installed before influence nougat flash?

A2017U Stuck on ZTE screen, cannot boot into system even after factory reset

So, while trying to follow the steps given to me to gain root access for data recovery, I stupidly swiped allow system modifications on the signed TWRP. The phone has been unable to boot into system ever since and only gets stuck on ZTE screen. I am able to boot into recovery, bootloader, FTM, and EDL but not system. This suggests that the system image has been corrupted somehow. I downloaded the B15 zip from ZTE's support page and tried to do update via SD card from stock recovery.
After selecting the zip file the phone screen showed the following (I tried with and without renaming the zip to update.zip):
supported api: 3
Install /sdcard/<"filename>".zip
finding update package, opening update package, verifying update package
E: footer is wrong
Update package verification took 1.0 s (result 1).
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
This entails that perhaps the official zip is faulty in some way. I chatted with ZTE support, he told me to wipe cache, try redownloading the zip file and retry without renaming, But no dice. Then he suggested a factory reset. I had read that for some others a factory reset had fixed the problem, so with some qualms, I went through with it. Lo and behold, even after 30 min the phone was still stuck on ZTE screen. ZTE support no longer has a B29 zip for downgrading and does not offer a B19 zip. So according to the support guy my last option is sending my phone in for repairs where they'll reformat the phone and reflash Stock ROM free of charge.
While that's all well and dandy, I am still desperately attempting data recovery (all efforts have been futile and I am well aware that I will likely be wholly unsuccessful). So, I was wondering if any of you guys had a backup of the fully stock system image, or had a zip file, or solution that would allow me to boot into system successfully without rooting or unlocking bootloader. A fully stock OS is preferred but am open to alternates such as DrakenFX's fastboot enabled EDL zip if there's absolutely no way to go back to fully stock OS. I am ok with downgrading and then updating later. Just don't want to get the phone reformatted. Thanks in advance.
TLDR: Phone stuck on ZTE screen; factory reset did not help; need to flash fully stock system image and maybe can boot successfully into system; if all else fails will probably submit warranty claim.

Install supersu or dm-verity to bypass the security checks.

Will this work via the update from sd card option on the stock recovery? Or would you recommend flashing from TWRP? Or via MiFlash in EDL mode?

This is the zte official B29 package and the only way to used it from the stock recovery from the SD card. It won't work with twrp because it requires the stock recovery. You can also use this method and you don't have to have unlcked bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514/page26

Ok, I think there was a little misunderstanding about the B29 link that I sent to you bro. That file can only be flashed in Stock recovery you can't flash it with MiFlash. If you want to use MiFlash the only version that's available to flash in EDL mode is Nougat B15. Just reread the OP of the the link I've sent to you before and If you didn't understand anything let us know there is always someone here will help you.

Have you tried to use the EDL method?

It should work on fixing this issue even if you are with Unlocked Bootloader, but you'll end up on Nougat B15 because this is the only full EDL mode package available.

lafester is correct, the B15 file from downloaded from ZTE is zipped twice. There is an actual update.zip inside a folder inside the "America A2017U SD card software package(A2017UV1.1.0B15)SD_W" zip. When I bricked my phone, I extracted the update.zip and I was able to flash it from the SD with the stock recovery. Hope that helps.

OTA update on unlocked and rooted device

I have a well working Note 7 with unlocked and rooted 10.3.5.0 Global PFGEUXM (TWRP recovery and magisk).
Today I got the OTA notification to update ROM to 10.3.6.0.
What I will lose if I update?
What's the best way to proceed?
Thank you

Nothing will be lost from a regular OTA Just check around for any bugs or problems that other people are having if any? And update if you like.

You have to download the full rom then go to twrp and wipe cache and dalvik flash the rom and magisk without reboot to system. After the flash of magisk you can reboot to the system. If you don't flash magisk before rebooting MIUI overwrite the twrp with the stock recovery and you have to reinstall twrp with fastboot

If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete from the rom zip the file compatibility.zip

Thank you very much darhma.
Should I reflash Disable_Dm-Verity before magisk?

You're welcome. I don't think it's needed the disable_dm-verity (but also i don't think that's a bad thing if you reflash it). If you want to thanks somebody in xda forum just press the thanks button (the ok button).

Hi!
I am new here so please don't be angry for my next questions
I just want root my Redmi Note 7 and keep OTP updates.
I read so many threads and this is my conclusion:
First I must apply for unlocking bootloader. Then flash TWRP recovery from here. After this flash Magisk through TWRP and that is it!
When phone notifies me that there is a new software update, I must download recovery rom from here, put it in internal memory, flash it and flash immediately Magisk again (flashing Magisk is mandatory after every software update to keep root).
Can anybody confirm that this is right way?
Thank You in advance.

Can I do that in TWRP or I must unpack rom on computer and pack it as zip again?

I think that you can do that from twrp but i'm not 100% sure. From computer you don't need to unpack and repack, just open the zip with 7zip or unrar (i'm on linux and don't know which program you use for zip files) and delete the file

I'm using Windows and WinRAR. Will try after I download recovery rom (my dl speed is ****ty so it wont be soon)

I'm getting Error: 7 and am unable to update through TWRP on Redmi Note 7. Anyone else facing this?

Are you sure you downloaded the right rom? Error 7 is a mismatch of the firmware

Just come to say that everything went fine.
I didn't need to wait for unlock bootloader. I bought phone 2 weeks ago and using it normally and when I start unlock procedure it unlock without waiting time (I saw that someone must wait 720 hours!!).
I flash twrp and magisk (I had fingerprint lock so after flashing I did data erase) and now I have rooted phone

So, I have a my Redmi Note 7 keeps telling me that there is a new update which is V10.3.10.0.PFGMIXM
I didn't want to install it since I was happy with my phone. But now the notification is not going away and it is always there. So I tried to install it from OTA but since my phone is unlocked and has TWRP on it, the update can't be installed.
My questions are:
- Should I download the rom and flash it through TWRP?
- How should I flash it without being have to make a factory reset? Is it posible not to loose any data? And if so, is it bad to flash it just like that?
- There is a kernel which is called EVIRA that I want to flash, too. So the order should be:
Rom + Kernel + Minsk, is that correct?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: There are 2 versions of the new rom:
Recovery Rom and Fastboor Rom.

What is the difference? Which one should I download?

1) download the full recovery rom
2) reboot to twrp
3) wipe dalvik art/cache and cache
4) flash the rom, the kernel and magisk in this order. Don't reboot to system until you have flashed magisk
5) reboot to system
6) enjoy
If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete the file compatibility.zip from the rom zip

Is updating ota with full recovery rom via twrp erase internal data or installed app?

If you do an update there should be no data loss however it is always recommended to have a backup of your data
