Worked for ROW S820 too , just have to turn to CN firmware, flash CWM_CN_recovery and all roms available for you
Convert CN to ROW
Hello!
I am very new on this and I am a littlebit affraid to brick my phone. I have a china version of S820 with VIBEROM_V1.0_1340_3_ST_S820 rom (unrooted) and I would like to have the ROW version to get the latest updates. I missed the info from your post that does the phone has to be rooted before converting from CN to ROW? Sorry for the basic question but it is not clear for me.
Ps: none of the rooting tool worked on this current... khm... "nice" version (Framaroot, kingroot, etc....), probably those are only for ROW version.
Thanks for your help!
Problem with bootloader, fastboot, recovery menu
Hello everyone.
I am trying to get into the bootloader, so i will be able to use fastboot commands.
Prior to post here i made a thread in the [HELP THREAD] but unfortunately since the person that tried to help me did not had this device, he couldn’t help me, thus i’m posting here
So, first i tried to get into the bootloader by pressing the physical keys:
if power button and both volume keys are pressed i get into Android System Recovery(3e).
if power button and volume down key are pressed i get into meta mode.
if power button and volume up key are pressed i get into factory mode, which is entirly in chinese.
in all 3 occations, fastboot devices command did not reply anything….
Now the device is recognized by adb (i made the udev rule for it), all commands are working as should except one.
all except one: “adb reboot-bootloader” or “adb reboot bootloader” or “adb reboot fastboot” do not do anything. they just reboot the device into android os.
even “adb reboot recovery” works correctly…
Lenovo S820 is a new device. it was released in 2013, is it possible that it doesn’t have proper fastboot mode???
What should i do?
P.S.
Android system recovery <3e> options are:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from sdcard
apply update from sdcard2
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
in Meta mode just get this: Have been in meta mode, long press the power button and the normal boot.
factory mode (which is completely in english) has 8 options.
Lenovo S820 8GB Single SIM
I have a single SIM card Lenovo S820 8GB and I want to flash it.
I have two questions:
1. Is it necessary to use CWM or I can use TWRP?
2. Can I install any ROM without any worries for being single SIM? All the ROMs I have found are for dual SIM phones and I don't want troubles with my phone.
Thank you, and please answer.

Hi friends,
I recently bought Micromax A52. Thought of rooting it and after looking on xda i figured that existing root methods didn't enable root privilege in Micromax A52. Thinking of trying the manual way to root ( Creating own methods to root).
I need your help in getting basic idea of few things.
I dont know/find where i can download A52 stock OS. Pleas guide me the process of backing up stock.
After stocking original os as we can easily restore to it, would like to proceed with the rooting steps. Wondering how a rooting softy (Superoneclick or z4root etc) works based on which i will be able to give a shot on it.
I know the queries here are silly but if you help me i could learn to master ..
Thanks

Thank you sharmad247. I tried them but failed. First of all it was because of MT65xx Preloader failed driver at boot and later in Factory boot mode identified the chip is MT6575 and searched for that particular driver. (Tried rooting as well)
Got the drivers from

Now started Smart Phone Flash Tool again and configured Readback.
Disconnected phone from Data Cable.
Clicked on Read Back button on Flash Tool.
Switched off phone. Removed battery.
Connected Data Cable.
Inserted Battery.

Flash tool detected the driver (showed on status bar) and popped up the error attached.
Please try and let me know when you are successful in making backup (I can understand where i went wrong), Also please share backed up rom.
If you also want to root, I tried lots of possibilities but seems i missing some steps and rooting not successful yet.
Thanks

No luck with me too
This seems to be 'Download Mode' error which our phone does not support or does not have it. But has a recovery mode with limited options.

I just picked up a Yoga 8 today. did some searching around and found this page instructing how to root it. I was hoping to have a bit more control over the process, but i could not find any other information either through google or through xda. (I realize the thread i linked to is not for yoga 8, but several people said it worked, and when i used it, it did indeed root it)
I would like to experiment with what can be done through the xposed framework with this tablet, but before i go anywhere i want a custom recovery on it so i can do a nandroid backup, should something go wrong. I have not been able to find any custom recovery for this device at all. looking through CWM and TWRP's databases of supported devices, I've come up with nothing. any assistance would be appreciated, whether you know of another recovery (or an unofficial CWM/ TWRP) for the yoga 8 or if you have another method of making/ restoring nandroid backups.
Anybody have this tablet? any success getting a custom recovery running on it?
I picked up one yesterday after spending 3/4 of an hour in front of the stores shelf. I just couldn't really decide which tablet to get. The first thing I've done with it was going online to see how to root. I found a thread where someone posted that using the ideatab method would work on the yoga too. But I was too hesitant because I had just updated the firmware. But it would be great if this little thing would get some developer love.
I have installed CM11 on my old razr HD before handing it down to my wife and already thought about installing it on my note 3.
Rooting is done using Framaroot 1.9.1 (old Framaroot had no Barahir exploit). You can make a backup using MTKDroidTools and you can flash using SP Flash Tools. All tools can be found here at xda-developers. Unfortunately I don't know about a recovery for the time being, I'd like that too
Mikegrmn, I found those parts about rooting tool for the ideatab working on the yoga, and I ran them after updating to lenovos latest firmware. I can say it worked perfectly.
AP756, thanks for the info. Still hoping for custom recovery but at least I can try a few things now.

unfortunately I have the non-3G version of the yoga 8 (I dont think the 3G version is available where i am).
I'm wary to try it since it's not the exact same device. I would personally wait for more support to be available for custom stuff.
It will work but let me do more research about it

tried to install it and completely failed the easy way (running the included batch file). the good news is i have a bit of experience in linux so i opened the batch file for reference of commands needed, transfered the files over adb to the tablet, and then did the rest from there using the commands from the batch file with an android terminal emulator and the hackers keyboard (not required by still awesome). i used ROM manager to reboot to recovery and I AM THERE.
Thanks so much for your help. I am also going to, upon your signature's request, use the thanks button.
Thanks, I'm glad to hear you're fine now. Because bat file didn't worked for you makes me think you don't have driver for processor installed.
Trimis de pe al meu Lenovo B6000-H folosind Tapatalk
I've got the drivers installed properly. i used them to root it and to send the recovery over adb. it coughed back that I didn't have the permissions to copy the file (i was running admin cmd) so i set the default action for SuperSU to allow, i tried again, and it still didn't work.
Either way it is done now and working. i did a backup and copied it to my computer, so i can start playing around with it.
I got one of these last week because I was very curious on the MK-8125 (quad a-7)

worked for rooting

worked for twrp
what I'm still unable to determine is how to actually enter recovery without sending adb reboot recovery, the VOL + power seems to still enter the chineese recovery. But other than that it's fine and functions correctly.
If someone knows how to replace the default recovery with twrp and the button combo that enters that recovery with power off please advise.
I have my eye on this as well

Hopefully adapting the b8000 build to the b6000 won't be that hard once they get it working.
Thanks guys for the info, things are working great so far

ROM Manager has the ability to reboot to recovery...or if thats the only thing you need to do, download swift reboot
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Jerry.swift_reboot
I was more looking for a button combo, thinking of a solution to maybe overwrite the correct recovery or something of that nature. But thinking about it, there's probably one recovery built into the boot loader and a separate image as just the recovery maybe? The button combo is proabaly just different areas of the bootloader instead of it redirecting to a different image like what happens on other devices. I think I remember the transformer having this "issue" where it seemed to have two. I'm sure someone will come along with a fix this at some point, it functionally works, just not ideal.
I've got the yoga 8 3G/wifi version. Rooted with farmaroot and installed cwm with mtktools. But I need stock recovery back. Can anyone provide with it cus I don't wanna flash stock os n start all over

Hold Power button + (Vol+ & Vo- together) and hold it few few seconds until you see a black screen where you will see selection between recovery and normal boot. Read the screen. Selection of option using volume up button and entering to selection is vol down button. Once you selected Recovery and pressed vol down, you will see screen with triangle. Now press power button gently. There you go.... You are now in Recovery (either 3e or your custom recovery).
Hope it helps.

this versión of android is no longer supported update the device and try again can fix it or help me please
thanks in advance:good:
basic question?
Hello, thank you in advance for what you did and probably helping me,
I didn't understand the firsts steps to flash my xt615...
I first installed drivers you give (on a win 8)
I understood i had to first flash with RSD Lite, having booted the phone with vol- and photo buttons pushed (which led me to a red screen with small text...)
which i tried, but RSD Lite don't seem to see my phone, i can only select rom an do nothing.
you say to "reboot to recovery using recovery loader wipe dalvik,user data,cache and recommended to format system,data and cache."
but what loader is it? no link for that one? can't find how to do it
i suggest you edit your post with basic step by step explanation for newbies to modding phones such as me
thx again
I think I finally understood, but still I got stuck...
ok, so...
as far as I understood, I simply have to:
1 DL clockworkmod
2 plug phone to computer, enable usb-debbuging
3 launch ~.bat file from clockworkmod, follow on-screen instructions...
4 reboot and do the cleanings you advice
5 unplug phone
6 reboot with red screen (vol down + camera + power button)
7 plug back phone and use RSD Lite (which detects the phone) and select ~.sbm file to flash stock rom
etc...
I now get stuck a step 7...
RSD Lite just don't detect my phone so I can't flash stock rom...
(i'm on win 8.1 and I did just as above) (+ when i was proposed to root while rebooting clockworkmod I accepted...)
So now my phone as no OS and just won't boot anymore...
any workaround? ( I tried installing Motorola Device Manager with win 7 compatibility mode, same thing...)
ps: tomorrow i'll try, on a real win 7, to flash stock rom, and post here my results
pps: i suggest you put something like these step by step explanations if they are correct, it seems easier to understand and follow
ppps: anyway thank you for you job again

Hello all,
I'm a long date not registered user but after tryIng root my Blu Vivo 5 MINI a whole week I've come to the conclusion to ask for your help!
I'll try put all the things and methods I tried to achieve this, but not succeeded.
Device info:
BLU Vivo 5 Mini
Android version 6.0;
Build number: MRA58k
Baseband version MOLY.WR8.W1499.MD.WG.MP.V57.P14
Chipset: MT6580
What I've tried so far:
After enable USB debugging and unlock oem. I uninstalled my antivirus too.
- Tried root with one click programs like Kingroot, genius root, etc. The programs can verify the model vivo 5 mini but can't complete the process.
- Tried root with SP Flash Tool taking the stock rom and replacing the recovery.img by a twrp-recovery.img for chipset MT6580. After sucessfuly flashed and turn device on with power button + volume up button the system displays that's entering Recovery Mode but reset automatically doing a reboot. When I gave up of repeating this and let the device reboot I comes as a reseted stockrom or it soft bricks looping the boot screen until battery end.
- Tried flash recovery.img for mt6580 chipset by fastboot. Made device listed from adb devices, then entered fastbook mode by adb reboot bootloader and flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. At the phone screen displays data transfer status Ok and then when rebooted I get the same flooping error, cant enter twrp because I don't know why and when I let it go I get a reseted stockrom again or soft bricked.
I tried made this last step too doing the adb erase recovery.img and trying again. Tried made before it all some adb kill-server and adb start-serve and also kill the adb.exe process from task manager processes.
Can anyone please, help me? What should I do? Anyone already rooted sucessfuly a Vivo 5 MINI?
Hope you can help me and made me able to use the full potential of my phone.

Don't have a MINI. I found a twrp that was close to my XL2, used Carliv Image Kitchen to unpack it and the stock recovery. Had to redo some files, TWRP building thread shows correct formats and info needed, so read that and adjust for your MINI. Repacked using Carliv then flashed using SPF Tools. Once it worked, I backed up all my partitions then flashed SuperSU.
Once I realized I had all the info I needed to build TWRP, that is what I did.

Blu Vivo 5 Mini
For full disclosure I am not a developer so my anticipated apologies for any comments that sound weird.
I got a Blu Vivo 5 Mini for using as a data collection on a field project, expecting it would be OTG compatible. It happens that it is not from out-of-the-box.
I've been trying all sorts of suggestions to root it available on this and other threads but nothing works.
I spoke to Blu this morning and they told me that the hardware in this phone is not compatible with OTG. I am trying to understand what that means. Using OTG checker it only says I am missing the USB Host file.
Appreciate any light on this.
here is how to root the blu vivo 5 mini
I know i am a little late to answer this question
follow this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/rooting-blu-vivo-5-mini-using-twrp-guide-t3924895
Update 2021.01.24: I consider the problem mentioned here as solved, since it can be resolved with MTK Bypass explained in the Guides Section. BE CAREFUL however to ONLY choose "Download Only" from the dropdown box in SP Flashtool! DO NOT select anything with "Format" in it, else you will lose S/N, MACs and IMEIs!

Hi, I have hard-bricked my new Realme 6 while trying to root it with Magisk. At the moment I am stuck in a bootloop at the power-on logo (realme in white letters). The boot animation (yellow realme letters) does not appear, instead the phone reboots after ~35 seconds. The bootloader says "Orange State".
I can NOT enter fastboot nor recovery mode by any key combination. Holding Power and Vol- makes the string RECOVERY MODE appear for a split second in the lower left part of the screen, however nothing happens afterwards.
I can power down by holding Power and Vol+ an releasing them immediately after the screen goes blank.
Holding Vol- and Vol+ while the phone is off and connecting USB makes a USB serial device appear on a windows machine for about 1-2 seconds before it disappears again.
I am very thankful for any hints on how to unbrick the device.
Here's what I have done in detail to mess up the phone:
1. OTA-Update to the latest OS in my region (EU11.A.48)
2. Unlocked the bootloader with the realme In-depth Test app (everything fine so far)
3. Download stock firmware RMX2001EU_11.A.48 ozip from realmeupdater.com
4. Unzipped with gnu unzip (content was readable, no extra decrytion tool for the ozip needed?) and extracted boot.img
5. Installed Magisk Manager and uploaded boot.img to the phone
6. Patched boot.img with Magisk Manager (and if I remeber correctly DIDN'T UNCHECK Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity)
7. Certainly FORGOT to do anything with vbmeta.img
8. Did NOT erase cache and userdata
9. Flashed patched boot.img directly and WITHOUT --disable-verity or --disable-verification
10. Rebooted the phone.
Am I correct that my problem is the AVB/dm-verity part?
Why does the modified boot.img affect the recovery (I thought they were seperate)
Can I try something with SP Flashtool?
I do have a second intact device that I didn't dare to touch yet, if that helps resolving the issue (e.g. for SP Flashtool readbacks).
As said any advice is highly welcome. Please ask I you need any more information to help.
I did that too... Magisk patched boot .img process of rooting is the risky process , I bricked my device, got it into red state.. tried thick and thin to revive using various flash tools, unable to do it, finally went to a shop , got it fixed, go-to a good repair shop, if you go to the service center, they will say replace motherboard for 5 k , I hope it helps, do traditional unlock bootloader TWRP recovery then flashing Magisk zip method for rooting process.
Thank you for sharing! But doesn't red state mean locked BL plus non-stock firmware? I wish I could find any repair shop during this Corona lockdown... May I ask how much they charged you for having the phone reflashed?

Yes, you are right , red state means that, I guess bcoz, I may have formatted it and ran again unlocked bootloader but it showed unlocking failed, but I thought that I had previously unlocked it so it should be unlocked but I forgot to do that app thing process of deep test again, and I was on Android 10 latest and patched boot img of previous version using magisk, now I understand what mistake I made, I should have used boot IMG of current version of a 10 , but still I am afraid of doing this magisk method of rooting by patching boot IMG bcoz repair cost me 800/- , and I found out on YT that the latest version of a 10 of my device doesn't readily allows twrp and flashing zip of magisk.... Plus there are half baked info on important things, this is new device for me, I have had rooted Samsung and Lenovo, but rooting this is kind of tricky, bcoz it's still new, I think.... Want to try .... But I m afraid.... Tried fastboot method of TWRP flashing but can't replace stock room, so I guess I can't root .....
Well, there is a tutorial on how to root here on XDA, and seems to be confirmed working. I just didn't know about the vbmeta part from earlier Android versions. Haven't you tried that?

Hello, please check my reply to your reply on my thread. BROM mode is as known as "Emergency Mode" and should not be inaccessible. I will once again request you to try different key combinations and also if it's detecting as fastboot, ADB or Fastboot commands should be available. Please try typing adb reboot or fastboot reboot with minimal ADB and fastboot tools and let me know. If you want to personally message me, message my telegram. I will try helping you there.
Why is this thread showing solved !!! It's nothing solved here... Pls check and confirm

This thread is about a Realme 6 (RMX2001 in my case). I've edited the very first post to immediately show the solution. Please check there or follow daeSundae's guide if you have a different device.
