Hy guys ,there's a way to unlock bootlader on mx4pro?? i've an A firmware on it ,there 's a way to install an I version??????
no there is no way to unlock it
you cant install "I" firmware if your phone originally had "A" firmware or "U" or "C"
and now most important part.... "I" firmware wont be good as "A". "A" firmware always will be way ahead of any other and "I" firmware will be updated last and will be updated rarely.

Absolutely right. Why put something that is not true. That tutorial is rubbish. Takes you to a Ad/Survey site. Just a
way to exploit people. I looked all over XDA for the original post, couldn't find it !!

I saw examples with TRWP and CWM installation for unofficial firmwares (CM, MIUI).. after analize it I made 2-in-1 script install-recovery.sh - volume up pishing started TWRP, volume doun pushing strted CWM.. for TWRP recovery I made two firmware based on 4.5.6I and 4.5.7I it will correct installing, also I made firmware for CWM recovery, but it unfortunaly - I have some error in installation process - may be I used not correct update-script or have some error in updater-script - but it's dosn't matter - I fix it in the future
I made firmware for CWM installation

So, Flyme 5 has been released, I would like to work on porting a custom recovery, but have never done this before. Can someone point me in the right dirction to do this? I am running the stable 5.1.5 firmware on my MX4 Pro
1. If you have international version meizu device you can install any firmwares from stock recovery..
2. If you have chinese version meizu device you can change ID device from chinese to international and... see pont 1

Bootloader Unlocking - 100% PERFECT:
100% Working Bootloader unlocking solution for Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. You dont even need confirmation from Xiomi. You can UNLOCK / RE-LOCK Bootloader at any time...
Trust me, I have personally tested and unlocked my device. Follow steps mentioned over here : Click here
Conclusion : Dont wait for Xiamo to get the permission to unlock ur device. Follow above method. Altough u get permission, at least 95% chances that Mi Unlock application fails. I was trying with Mi unlock app for days and even following up in mi forums, with no working solution. They simply said, try it after a week... So, I dont want some one to waste their valuable time like me...

There are two ways,
1. Flashing Fastboot rom from mi forum will relock your Boot loader.
2. From the above mentioned tutorial, backup the original "fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn" file and it will relock the bootlader. optionally, you can try "fastboot oem lock" command as well.

On POST 3, I have given the link to the complete process and it works perfectly.
So, barely, its like, flashing 7.1.7 or 7.1.8 version with CHANGED MBN file. (MBN file is the main file which will allow unlocking from Fastboot command)
After flashing with changed MBN file, run the FASTBOOK OEM UNLOCK_GO command to unlock the file.
Then, u can check FASTBOOT OEM DEVICE-INFO to check the status. Then, flash other OS like CM12/13 or Qualcommn rom.
If u want MIUI os then, use FASTBOOT command to flash TWRP and reboot to TWRP. Then, download RECOVERY ZIP file and with WINZIP replace MBN and Changed BOOTLOADER (TWRP) file and then flash that file in TWRP. These steps are like an overview of the process, if u want more info, u can google it or check, MI forum
Hey guys I'm thinking of buying this phone the 32gb/3gb SD650 version to be specific and it's nice it's getting a custom roms just like the mtk version. How's the CM12/13 roms as for now overall? Stability, battery you know.. are these roms suitable for daily use? Btw now I have a K3 Note.
Custom ROMs are at very early stage and are not suitable for daily usage. As the kernel drivers are already out, we hope stable version will come soon... Qualcomm factory ROM is stable but feels slow...
Subbed and rated. Thanks for updating ^^
Direct Link to OTA for 7.2.3 is updated in first post. If anyone didnot get the OTA, download 190+MB zip file and put zip file in folder: /internalstorage/downloaded_rom/ Then, updater to update to new version of stock.

I thought if you use this method and then Flash any MIUI ROM you get Brick ?

Nope, u ll not brick your phone. I have done that and it works flawlessly... I have unlocked bootloader and installed Qualcomm and CM12 roms and again flashed stock OTA via MI updater app. I didnt have any problem.
Although its not for novice users, in most of the cases, hardware bricking a phone is almost not possible, unless, u try to play directly with hardware. And, softbrick will easily be recoverable(Well u need a PC and drivers for sure)... its just like, when u r not able to run the OS in your phone, then, repair shop guy will just flash the stock rom and will give it back to you.... Just, thats what we are doing with MI updater. As mentioned earlier, this may not be for normal user...
Anyway, Thread 2 updated with new tutorial on How to flash OTAs without relocking your phone...
Hi there, as can you see here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/xepeleato-s-lineageos-14-1-t3542120, from @XePeleato, he did a LineageOS ROM for P8 lite but he want to help us too, so read the post slowly and if you want to test it, go ahead
In Which phones works?
Che2-L03,Che2-L11, Che2-L12, Che2-L23, Che2-UL00, Che2-TL00, G735-L03, G735-L23
Downloads (Always thanks to Xepeleato for helping us, Really)
Experimental Build 1: http://hisiliconroms.pw:8080/4x-1.zip (it doesn't boot)
Experimental Build 2: http://hisiliconroms.pw:8080/4x-2.zip
Installation Instructions (PD: it is hard)
First of all, you need or XePeleato TWRP for P8 lite here http://error404software.com/android/recovery.zip, or TWRP 3.1.0.0 (custom) from Roman Horulsky here https://mega.nz/#!FxwWjJxA!KrLvc85QD9w97ECX3kNRHM5LLWdGLVQix524JnPk5Og
Go here and get the appflasher https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702
On http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=ale-l21 download any rom that is says FULL, and add it to appflasher with the instructions in the post above
On TWRP Mount everything and install the P8 lite ROM (install ZIP)
Then on TWRP. reboot on Bootloader and Install TWRP again
On TWRP, go to Wipe, but before anything, FORMAT DATA (NO WIPE), why would you say? because when you install a p8 lite rom the phone encryptis itself and you can't use/wipe data, and emui data IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE with LineageOS Data
Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Data, Internal and System
Then install the zip posted above
Bugs ATM
Doesn't work:
No RIL on Single SIM Phones (on Double Sims RIL Works)
No Sound
No Bt
It seems it detects the sd card (you can enter to install things and everything, but only from the notification), in short words it isn't visible in media apps
When i connect the headphones the phone doesn't detect it
Record and see videos (.mp4 files)
Can't confirm, but maybe OTG (all of us the testers don't use it)
What works
Wifi (perfectly)
Camera
it seems GPS works
Install apps from explorer
Play store (it shows all the apps)
Dev Options
No problems with root (it needs to be flashed)
Many thins more
You maybe are wondering, why it doesn't boot on G Play/4X, or it has some sort of Wifi Bugs on G Play Mini/4C? because the net card, P8 lite (and probably 4C too but with different model) have a Siliscon Net card, and we 4X users have a Broadcom Netcard, so the romitself it is trying to load a module for a hardware that we don't have, so it doesn't boot
I did this post here, so we don't inundate the P8 Lite topic
if you have questions about this, it is your time to ask! (and if you are a dev, your help is appreciated)
EDIT: first experimental builds are up, see the 3rd page on comments (added pics)
Alright, so later on I'll build a special zip with a compatible kernel. This is going.to be the workflow.
1) You are interested and send me a PM
2) I send you the zip
3) You answer with your device model and whatever you think it's important like:'wifi didn't work, here's a logcat when I try to enable it's
4) I send another zip...

IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO FLASH ON CHE2-L11
I have followed all the instructions (slow method), but flashing is not possible on my Huawei Honor 4x Che2-L11. It stops in the flashing process.
When doing adb sideload, it fails with the error message:
Code:
"E:unknown command [log]
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7"
(this is error message in TWRP, not on laptop)
I have never succeeded in installing CM before, so not surprising that I can't install LineageOS. Nobody has taken care of Che2-L11 so it's total uncertain situation while some claim it works but don't show how. I have followed all the advice, tried all the different TWRP versions, but it always got stuck on "patching system image unconditionally" (with CM 12.1 - P8Lite version). Probably reason might be that they are not wiping everything, but keep some partition but forget to tell me about it. I wipe everything.
We need some common effort to make Che2-L11 versions, work together. I can do my part if we cooperate.

As I said, this is a discussion and not the ROM itself, the ROM for 4X isn't available yet, anyways I put these instructions so you can test it, and your error isn't normal
If you want to try, get the boot.img and flash it, the phone won't boot
I made this discussion for people that are interested on lineage OS and want to try the experimental ROM that will be here soon
And it is weird that cm12.1 failed to you too, me with other users already installed other roms, like this one or cm12.1 and it flashed well
All from us for Honor 4X Che understand your frustration too, since even the other devs here of the 4X (che1) ignore us, but at least now someone want to help us,so we need to support him
And yes it is sad that even a dev from other phone is helping us, the only dev we had sold his phone
Thank you for the answer. Can you tell me what you wiped before flashing the CM 12.1? How did you perform the wipe? With format? I think there must be something remaining when you flash CM 12.1, which I am wiping.
Maybe I am flashing the wrong rom. I don't know that there exists any rom of CM for Che2-L11. The one I am flashing, I had to change the update-script to remove first line. Where is the CM12.1 for Che2-L11? I don't think any exists.
I fully understand the situation with lack of devs. I think it can be improved with some better documentation, for example we can make a separate thread here.

When I install custom Roms, first I install any p8 lite ROM (emui) then flash it, and then I have no problems
Sent from my Che2-UL00
So I should download the rom zip from p8lite thread and pm XePeleato for a compatible kernel for it to boot? Sorry but there's too many instruction. I can't follow btw I'm on b515. Should I use a p8lite rom for it to work?
@ericotena for now he want to test that we users with 4x, all of them doesn't work to see rare things, for example an 4X working
i mean yes download atleast the zip now, and try with those steps, personally i tested using 4X and @MarcoPLs with P8 lite rom, and we made it to test
Xepeleato said it is enought that if you quote him in 1 comment, so he will pm you then with a rom
@XePeleato I want to test it too when it is available haha. Thanks for your efforts on this rom!!!!
@XePeleato I really appreciate your great job and I wish you can help us , our poor Huawei honor 4x users :laugh:
Don't worry, I couldn't PM you yesterday because the build didn't finish (nothing I can do about it). As far as I know, the ROM has to be compatible with Che2-L11, but if there's other more 'compatible' model I'd like to know it, like the ALE-L21 for the P8 lite.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
@GuilhermeXtreme is an excellent guy for his valuable support.
He tried his best to help me install CleanSTOCKLL and CLEANStockMM on my Asus Zoom device, but apparently the ROM supported by him is for ZOOA (ZE551ML)
My device is Z00X (ZX551ML)
Asus did a huge mistake (I assume) in naming roms for 2 different devices same.
On installing above ROMs which you have specified, mobile works fine but Mobile Network and Camera will not.
Infact @GuilhermeXtreme tried his best to help me for 2 days, to fix the issue.
At present I am on Stock Lollipop with stock recovery
(unrooted device)

Hello XDA,
I have been using Samsung phones all my life , Rooted (odin) a lotta phones installed countless custom roms and finally i thought its time for pure android experience . I bought a moto g4 plus from a friend of mine and have been going through the g4 + forum for 2 days now . I have not got the slightest of idea how you root / install custom rom on this device . Its so different from how you do it on a Samsung device so finally I have decided to ask for your help .
Info I would like to share :
1.The boot loader is locked
2.The device is a XT1643
3. 3 GB / 32 GB
4. December 1 , 2017 security patch
5. NPJS25.93-14-13
6. There was a OTA update when I received the phone which I didn't update
As mentioned earlier It looks like I am a complete noob when it comes to this device and I would need all the possible help I can get .
If anybody would be kind enough to guide me through this initial learning phase I will be very grateful and would even share my whisky ( which I usually don't do )
If you need any more information please ask
Thanks and Regards

Hello Mate
As mentioned above I have been searching the forum for almost 2 days before I thought of asking for help . I did go through the thread( that you have mentioned ) earlier today but it looks a bit old to me . The link on how to flash twrp comes back with a 404 error . The last few posts are helpful (as it deals with the same build) but again as am new to the particular device It would be helpful if someone could give me a noob friendly procedure . I am not here to break the rules just trying to learn without bricking my device

Sorry for being so short earlier. We have quite a few members here who constantly post issues without using the search function.
You can try to post I quoted above to flash TWRP. It's fairly straight forward.
Are you planning on flashing a Nougat ROM or are you going the adventurous route and flashing an Oreo ROM? The TWRP version mentioned in the quoted post should be fine for flashing Nougat and 32-bit based Oreo ROMs, but you'll need 64-bit TWRP for 64-bit Oreo ROMs.
Use this as a reference for 32-bit and 64-bit Oreo ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/oreo-roms-table-t3717226
64-bit TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...recovery-twrp-3-2-1-unofficial-touch-t3722206
Once you've flashed TWRP, you can either flash different versions through TWRP itself or through the Play Store app.
As far as ROMs, I'd recommend Official Lineage OS 14.1 for Nougat: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3522101
And I'd recommend Official AICP 13.1 for Oreo: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...om-aicp-13-1-o-8-1-0-official-weekly-t3731269 (You'll need to download the 20180212 build since most recent builds either have a broken camera or won't boot.)
Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Hello Mate
As mentioned above I have been searching the forum for almost 2 days before I thought of asking for help . I did go through the thread( that you have mentioned ) earlier today but it looks a bit old to me . The link on how to flash twrp comes back with a 404 error . The last few posts are helpful (as it deals with the same build) but again as am new to the particular device It would be helpful if someone could give me a noob friendly procedure . I am not here to break the rules just trying to learn without bricking my device
Thanks and Regards

@Ragarianok
I am going to try the Oreo builds as I have never got a chance to try it on my previous devices so I guess I will be using a 64bit version of twrp.
This is what am planning to do :
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Flash an official version of TWRP
2.a Take a backup
3. Flash a custom kernel through twrp
4. Flash Super Su / Magisk
5. Flash a 64 bit version of twrp using TWRP
6. Flash a custom ROM
Please correct me if I am wrong
Thanks a lot for the detailed guide
Thanks and Regards

If you want 64bit Oreo roms it's a little bit different
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Flash a 64 bit version of twrp
2.a Take a backup and safe it off your phone
3. Flash a Oreo 64bit custom ROM
3.a flash gapps package arm64 (8.0 or 8.1 depending on rom version)
4. Flash magisk 15.3
If you want to root the stock nougat rom steps 1-4 of your list are correct.

Not quite. You'll want to go in this order:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. Backup
4. Wipe (Wipe/Advanced Wipe; ART/Dalvik, System, Data, Cache)
5. Flash ROM
6. Flash Gapps
7. Reboot
8. Go through setup wizard and let everything settle for ~10 minutes
9. Boot into TWRP and flash SuperSU or Magisk (I would suggest Magisk), then flash kernel and reboot
You'll need to flash the unofficial 64-bit TWRP mentioned in my previous post to flash a 64-bit Oreo ROM, otherwise you'll get an error message when flashing ROM.
You'll also need to use unofficial Gapps since there aren't any official Gapps for 8.1 just yet. I'd recommend either mini or micro here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficial-opengapps-8-1/files/arm64/20180225/
You should be able to flash the most recent Magisk located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
If you do flash a custom kernel, I'd highly suggest Frostbitten: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...s-frostbitten-kernel-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3649155

If it was an OTA update, it looks likely to be more the February 2018 security patch rather than the January 2018 patch.

That is true, however for our devices we have generally been issued the same security patch level regardless of region. It may be different builds for particular regions (e.g NPJS25.93-14-13 for India, Brazil and EU, and NPJ25.93-14.7-3 for US) but they are both the December 2017 security patch.
Regardless, we've still yet to see an OTA newer than December.

Evening ,
Thanks For all the support i finally rooted MY phone
But
I ran into a bit of a problem " Sim Cards Not Detecting "
This is What i did
1. Unlocked My bootloader
2. flashed twrp-3.1.1-athene_shreps
3. Took a backup of everything
4. flashed ElementalX-G4-2.00.zip
5. flashed Magisk 16.0
reboot : No sim cards detected
After which I flashed lineage-14.1-20180219-nightly-athene-signed.zip and the gapps provided
experienced the same error again .
uninstalled magisk and flashed the latest Super Su (V2.82) with no positive results
not sure what went wrong ...is there any way out of it ?

First, I'm a little confused about the fact that you flashed that version of TWRP instead of the one located here: https://dl.twrp.me/athene/
Second, I've never had that happen when flashing, so I'm not really sure what to recommend. If I had to guess, I would say the best route would be to restore your backup and see if the SIM is detected.
I have found at least one thread with a similar issue; might be worth a look: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/fix-sim-card-issue-t3751679
Let us know what happens.

I went through that before posting my question .. the paper does not help .
Is it okey if I flash the twrp that you have mentioned over the existing twrp?
Thanks and regards
DW
Edit : I have restored my backup but still the same issue.
Edit : flashed the official TWRP . still the same results
EDIT : After 3 hours + Countless reboots the issue solved on its own ... I am not sure what really happened.. lol
