Check the post below. There's a working torrent in the youtube link described.
I am not sure if it's the correct version, please try to make sure before commiting changes.

Nice.
Quick question, did any of you on XT-1640 manage to safely root your phone?
You know, without losing wi-fi, data etc.? Which method did you use.

I did, got no problems so far. But you will lose all data when unlocking the bootloader, if its already unlocked then rooting isn't going to wipe your data. I also installed xposed and got no problems with it

Cool! Do you think this is the best guide to follow?
I really cannot afford to have a bricked or semi-working phone...
Thanks for the tip!

Moto g4 Plus stuck at bootloader
Hi,
My Moto G4 plus is now stuck at bootloader. Below are the details of errors that I get
Recovery Mode - Failed to validate recovery image
Start the phone - Failed to validate boot image
Flash stock ROM via ADB - Pre flash validation failed
Flash stock boot.img - Image boot failed validation (Security version Downgare)
I am not even able to unlock the bootloader as the adb returns a message saying I need to toggle 'Allow OEM Unlock" in the Developers Menu. I connot do that as I cannot boot my phone.
Please help.

Looks like your trying to downgrade firmware there and from what I'm aware you can't downgrade certain sections like bootloader etc. What is it you're trying to achieve?

I was just trying to flash the stock rom. Had some glitches in my phone. While I was trying to flash via adb, couple of steps failed and then I was not able to boot my phone back.
Im sure that I'm using the latest version of ROM. However, it's the one before the latest security patch. However, the boot image and recovery image should remain the same.
Here's the version that I'm trying to flash.
XT1641-XT1643_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC
No matter what I do now, I just cannot get my phone to boot in recovery mode or just boot normally.

huawei ascend g7 unroot problem

Hi
I have ascend g7 and I have rooted it by kingroot. but, I decided to unroot my phone. I have tried many ways but didn't worked.
- "uninstall kingRoot" -> failed
-SuperSu "Full Unroot" ->failed
- tried to flash custom recovery-> failed
please help me!
I would appreciate any ideas which could help me to solve my problem
p.s.: I'd like to flash CM13 custom ROM but no custom Recovery could be installed. dont know why!!!

This may be a silly question, but have you unlocked your bootloader?
If not, that is the first thing you need to do before you are able to install a custom recovery.
Secondly, the only way to unroot will be to reinstall an update.app of the current firmware you have, or a later version.

An update.app is the full firmware file for Huawei devices.
After updating your device, it will be completely stock, so everything will be like it was out of the box. So you will no longer be rooted.

Please look at my post for unlocking bootlader works 100 percent for the g7 L01 not sure for any other variant try at own risk hope this works for you

Please read the post carefully before typing in any stupid commands that can screw up your phone.
Follow instructions EXACTLY as mentioned in this post.
The reason you are getting a “security downgrade” error is because you are trying to downgrade your bootloader, or GPT partitions. You cannot do that on the device.

Didn't you make backup...? First thing one should do is it....
You cannot flash official zip either soak or final by TWRP, you need stock recoveryfor that...
Now you can only do is flash stock via fastboot method (but you updated to soak it is not preferable)
Try this:
download any custom ROM from development, and load it to memory card, and flash it....

Since you haven't made backup, you have to go with fastboot flashing... As you updated soak your bootloader is now updated with it, don't downgrade it.... You will see gpt and downgrade errors while flashing... I can't say anything more about it, i didn't try that.....
You can follow guides available, see in guide section...

We don't have it for any variant... Don't know if we ever will, never been leaked and the sources for them are questionable if we will ever get any more factory images at all.
What is the problem?

Why do you want relock BL? It can help with... nothing.
You can flash the newest version RetEu 6.0.1 with oem_lock commands.
I suggest rather:
Flash the first 6.0.1 reteu 24...58 without locking
If everything will be ok:
Flash the last 6.0.1 24...58-5 with locking BL.
After it you should get one or two OTAs.
Remember: bootloop with locked BL - only authorized service can help.

Oh, probably wont do that then.
Another question, can i download the android 7 ota uodate when i get it still? With an unlocked bootloader saying "Offical" and twrp?

So far ota update is only for 24...58-13.
With twrp you can't install any ota update.
Unlocked BL doesn't matter for OTAs.

Exactly, i need to get rid off twrp, but i can only do that if i flash a stock recovery, which i cant

It might be worth trying this older firmware whose name suggests that it is reteu for UK and FR, and seeing if newer OTAs show up:
https://firmware.center/firmware/Mo..._MPH24.49-18_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
More available here, but none of them seem like they're for UK phones:
https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X Style/Stock/XT1572/
If your bootloader is unlocked and you're trying to lock it, you could try flashing it while keeping the bootloader unlocked, and then flash it again as part of the flashboot oem lock begin -> flashboot oem lock process. (From what I've seen, the device is fine flashing older firmware with an unlocked bootloader, but not with a locked one.)

Returning to Stock

I just got this phone and I'm debating on unlocking the bootloader and rooting it and I was just curious if in the future I need to return it to stock (especially for selling it in the future) how do you go about doing that? Do you just flash one of the stock firmwares though TWRP like I found here? http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G6/US997/US997-USA/US99714a
Then what do you do if that is correct? Also how do you relock the bootloader? I'm sorry if these are noob questions but I have been out of the modding game for a good while.

Just flash a kdz trough LGup and the phone will be completely stock, no twrp and no root. Then you have to only lock the bootloader by typing "fastboot oem lock". Don't run this command while you have twrp and root!
Ah, and the fact you have relocked the bootloader doesn't mean that you recovered the manufacturer warranty, LG can easily verify if you used the unlock bin.

I did some searching and found this. Is it the correct thing? http://rootmygalaxy.net/download-latest-lgup-tool-for-lg-devices-flash-tool/
Also just to be clear I unlock my bootloader, install TWRP and root the phone. If I ever want to go back to stock for selling the phone or whatever I just download the latest KDZ file like I linked to above and then I flash it to the phone and it will return everything back to stock? Then after that you just do the relock command and the bootloader is closed again?
I appreciate your help. I just to be super clear.

Pretty much yes, search for uppercut if you have driver problems with LGup, and for firmwares this is the best site to download them: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h870-firmwares/

Ok then

LGUP
Hi, so I started flashing the kdz on my LG G6 using LGUP and it starts, but then randomly quits out. It's recognising my device and the file is definitely the correct one. Any hints as to why it's not working?
EDIT: I managed to fix it, apparently Windows Defender was seeing Uppercut as a virus and stopping it from creating the files it needed to. So make sure you turn off Windows Defender when you do this.

My experience with returning phone to stock is bad. First unlocked bootloader, installed twrp, bootloader for havoc ROM and ROM itself..
Havoc 3.1 OK, but BT calling not working, so I decide go back to stock.
LGUP used without problem, but then camera neither flash ligh doesnt work anymore.
Last firmware for H870 used from official.
Have someone same shi t experience like me?
Trying everything, but no success.
So its not easy go back to stock again..
(My phone is H870 for EU)

It's a known problem, the A10 ROMs somehow mess with files needed for stock camera that aren't included in stock pie.
You have to flash Oreo bootloader and then 30b zip for the camera to work.
If that doesn't work flash Oreo kdz and update to Pie.

Problem finally solved!
Tried many times flash Oreo bootloader and then 30b(pie), 20a (oreo). With 30b everythings work except camera. With oreo 20a phone wasnt even bootup normally.. (after reset just screen with green android and message "No commands" appear. I used LG UP 1.14 with Uppercut.
Then after many unsuccesses I put phone to state where bootloop appeared and I thought about to throw it into garbage.
ADB shell and TWRP saved me... I was again able flash roms.
At the end I found some package with LG UP 1.14 and patch (so I could use it without Uppercut...there is a new LGUP_common DLL), and with this combination flash procedure worked smoothly.
BUT! I had to load nougat stock rom first (H87011i_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0108.kdz), which fix partitions in phone somehow (but there wasnt possibility upgrade higher). Everything, camera included was working with this rom..
Then I flash oreo stock rom (H87020a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0423.kdz), and now It booted right (no "no command" during startup). Phone worked perfectly, and I used OTA upgrade to land on 30b pie last official update.. tadaaa
Hope it will help others with same problem..
