Atm there is no Option for this. You can only press the PowerButton one time then he loads faster.
But i dont know a Option to remove this. Sorry
maybe future custom roms will include the removal of that screen, it is indeed somewhat annoying

That screen cant be removed its in the bootloader. The nexus 5x and 6p also have it.
I'll make that decrypted boot.img into a flashable TWRP zip file tonight so you can just flash it in TWRP instead of having to use Fastboot.

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

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
Can anyone please provide me link for ZTE blade S7 t920 firmware download please? My phone got bootloop, factory reset from stock recovery doesn't help phone still unable to boot to homescreen.

Been contacted the customer service on Twitter FB page and emails from zte website but they ignore me not giving me reply from like 3 days ago! I feel like being ignored as a customer!

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:

(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:

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

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
how do i update to custom roms

could you please explain the process of updating to the custom roms from a working S7. please. thx
[UPDATE]: USE THIS ONLY FOR NOUGAT 7 OR 7.1! THERE IS A DIFFERENT GUIDE FOR ANDROID OREO!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/how-to/root-xperia-x-f5122-android-n-34-2-2-47-t3594502 (Written by YasuHamed, not me!)
If you are not interested in android Oreo, or you want to go back to Nougat, this guide is still valid! [End of Update]
This is a guide for newbies or for people that are simply confused. If you have any questions, you can always ask me, and I will reply. but please make sure you haven't made mistakes and do not ask about things that are already stated here. Let's go!
BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, NOTES
-make sure you have installed ADB : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
-make sure ADB can read your phone with the correct drivers installed. If you have trouble with that, read "DRIVERS" section
!It is absolutely necessary to install the drivers correctly!
-Backup your stuff if you have any, you will need to delete everything from the phone
-Enable USB debugging
-Note: some of these instructions apply to Windows OS only!
-Note: links to downloads have been shortcutted as much possible to make it easier for you!
-Find some stock roms here! https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/how-to/sonyx-f5121-downgrade-8-0-0-to-7-1-1-to-t3754986

-Warning: you will lose your warranty!
-I am not responsible for any damage done to your device.
BACKUP DRM KEYS (OR WORKAROUND)
You may want to unlock your bootloader. If you unlock it without backing up the DRM keys, you will lose them. I did that mistake and I regret it. If you already did, there is an alternative solution, skip to step 8.
1) If you are running android 7 nougat, you will need to downgrade to MM. If you are running MM, skip to step 7.
2) You will need to wipe everything before rolling back, so if you have any data back it up
3) Download any stock MM 6.0.1 firmware for the xperia X. You can find one here : https://mega.nz/#!1xRj2CYS Decryption key: !qBVi7yky8AL84eUF3bpTTGQ2YmN0ePCjc-eSDZGIZCI
Watch out: if you have the dual SIM model, F5122, you need to download accordingly!
For more firmwares, check "BEFORE DOING ANYTHING"
4) Download the latest flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Upon installation, tick on fastboot, flashmode drivers! If it didn't ask you, go to the installation folder and run Flashtool-drivers.exe. Please read "DRIVERS" section!
5) Flash the .tft file
How to flash?
0. Go to "C:\Users\[Your PC Name]\.flashTool\firmwares" , and put your firmware .ftf file in there!
1. Open Flashtool and click on the lightning bolt icon (first one from the left)
2. In the prompt, choose flashmode.
3. Under firmware, click on the version you put (It should probably only be one option)
4. Under wipe , tick everything. Under the others, do not make any changes.
5. Click "Flash"
6. When the popup appears, connect your device. It needs to be powered off, and connected while you are holding the
"volume down" button.
7. Wait for it to finish.
8. Done. Boot up the device, it might take some time to open so don't worry.

6)If your phone bootloops, try flashing again or a different firmware and make sure you followed the steps correctly.
7) Once your phone successfully boots android MM, use Dirtycow to get your DRM keys out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236
8) If you unlocked the bootloader before backing up your keys, you can use DRM kernel fix. You can get it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/development/kernel-drm-fix-nougat-t3530849 Before using it check out the custom rom that includes this fix and other things.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
This is relatively easy and you can follow official sony instructions to do it.
1) Go to your phone settings, developer options, and enable OEM unlock
"But there is no developer options!" -Go to the bottom of your settings, system, about phone, and tap multile times on "Build Number", also at the bottom.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) If you haven't already , install ADB fastboot and configure drivers (Link on top )
3) Follow the steps on the Sony website to get your unlock code: https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/email-verification/
4) After unlocking, a warning message on boot is normal!
INSTALL RECOVERY
Installing TWRP on your xperia X is very important, since you can flash zips and img files so easily, plus wipe, backup and other features.
1) Download the TWRP .img file: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=197369 (Credit: eagleeyetom )
2) Make sure you have USB debugging enabled
3) Open your downloaded twrp folder
4) Run CMD in that folder (shift + right click inside the folder, Open CMD here )
5) Connect your Xperia X to your PC
6) Type these lines:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [where recovery.img is your twrp file name]
fastboot reboot
7) If no errors, twrp is now installed. Once your phone boots , turn it off,. To access TWRP recovery hold power button and volume down button until the TWRP menu appears.
STOCK ROM, ROOT
If you just want to root and not interested in additional features and tweaks, you can simply flash SU through TWRP to get your phone rooted.
Note: Current best stock ROM available: 7.1.1 (252) - better features than older ver, and good battery life.
0) Install your desired stock firmware using the exact same previous instructions, (under DRM section) with flashtool.
1) Download SuperSu
Or magisk, using YasuHamed guide mentioned on top, but I have not tested with anything other than Oreo 8.0
Use magisk if you want more stability / root features (like hide root from apps, modules )
2) copy it anywhere on your phone
3) Run TWRP
4) Tap on install
4) Flash the file
5) Reboot, you are now rooted
6) Insert your DRM keys if you have them
Custom ROMS
After unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP this is the best way to go in order to get full root, tweaks.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/development/rom-xperia-x-pexorom-v1-0-0-f5122-f5121-t3590552
^ This is a very good custom ROM made by prmk74. You can see its features in his thread.
1) Download the rom and copy it to your phone
2) Run TWRP
note: It is recommended to wipe dalvik, cache, data ( your storage partition doesn't need to be wiped)
3) Tap install, find your downloaded file and execute
note: It is recommended to wipe dalvik, cache, data ( your storage partition doesn't need to be wiped)
4) Follow on-screen instructions, do not stop the booting after finishing the installation, it will take some time
5) Insert your DRM keys if you have them
6) For those who lost their keys: Now the functions like vivid image mode are working properly.
DRIVERS
For Windows 8/8.1/10 users, how to solve driver problems:
1) Press the Windows key + R together and in the ‘Run’ box type: shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
– Now make the following selections to boot into the Start Up Setting Screen: Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Start Up Settings > Restart
– Then, when the machine restarts, select number 7 i.e. “Disable driver signature enforcement”. Your machine will start with Driver signing enforcement disabled until the next reboot.
B) Now you can install the Flashtool drivers. Go to the flashtool install location and run the drivers.exe again, check fastboot and flashmode
– Windows will warn that the driver is not signed and will require you to confirm the installation.
– Once the installation is complete, reboot the machine
TO CONCLUDE:
This is what you may want to do to get the most out of your new xperia x:
1) Backup DRM
2) Unlock BL
3) Install TWRP
4) Flash Persian (or a different rom) through TWRP (And subscribe to the thread so you receive updates)
5) Restore DRM

Thanks!
Thanks for this, I need some help!
All was fine until I tried flashing the recovery, comes back "partition unknown" error. I was unable to bring the device up under an adb device only as a fastboot device.
34.0.A.1.264_R3A firmware.
Different official sony driver (Sony bootloader guide driver didn't work)
Device now hangs on the Sony logo after boot messgae warning "OEM bootloader unlocked, device not trusted," any help would be appreciated.

These USB drivers are very annoying to work with. I got mine to finally work using a program called ADB driver installer. http://adbdriver.com/downloads/ Choose automated installation and try what I said. I believe it should fix your problem, after installing the drivers reboot and flash again.
Other than that, I have to ask are you 1000% sure you used the exact commands?
I saw another thread someone mistook
"flash recovery recovery.img" for "flash recovery.img"
"recovery" should be included before the recovery file name

Why didn't the sony guide work? It worked for me. Just so you know, the "device cant be trusted" message is appearing on everyones' phones after unlocking the bootloader, it's not a problem or something
the part of restoring DRM is skipped,
please xplain

I know, as I said there is room for improvement. The reason I did not include it is because I never did it myself, so I don't want to write something wrong or something that could lead to problems. I write something only if I am 100% sure. If anyone of you is kind to offer that piece so the guide is complete I will be glad

Working now, used a previous version of twrp by mistake. Using latest build works fine now, have to wait to get home from work to proceed with the rest, annoying procedures this stuff but your guide is great.

since there is no offcial twrp for X out yes and only DORA (XA) is available) even XA don't work for X
so either twrp 2.8, 3.0 or 3.1 any should just boot in order to let us flash superSU.

Everything is working good for me now, the only issue now is restoring the DRM keys, has anyone found a credible source for doing this on this device?
How can I be sure I have a full root? I can't seem to be able to uninstall some of the bloatware only disable it!

Well titanium backup can assure you but I don't see why you wouldn't have full root... You need an app uninstaller to uninstall bloatware, it can't be done through the settings you know that right

This is where a/b partition does his magic.
If your update failed then phone will boot on the previous partition to make the update again
I think you can still change slot partition on fastboot with the right driver's installed and right command

here is a guide if u dont know how to change partition:
download fastboot from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
if u already have fastboot it might not work because its not the latest version but it is the latest version from this link
reboot to bootloader by holding power + volume down button while ur phone is shut down (to shut it down just hold power button)
open the cmd-here.exe file from the zip and type: fastboot devices, if it shows u a string then ur good, if no strings u need to download ur phone's driver and if more than one then unplug ur second phone from ur pc
then type: fastboot --set-active=b if that didnt fix it try --set-active=a and if that didnt fix it then u cant fix ur bootloop using partitions
