Hi!
This is for Huawei Mediapad T1 S8-701w/u aka Mediapad T1 Honor.
As we all know this device has LOCKED bootloader and it is not rootable (only russsia firmware for s8-701u is)!
I am not responsible for bricks so procede at your own risk!
Read whole process before you begin.
First backup everything including internal SDcard!
1) This process will install factory unlocked ROM with just basic testing apps you will loose your curent ROM( we will return it on step 3)
Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7RlBIN4xO50RUxqU1E2ZGJmRUk/view?usp=sharing
Extract and copy dload folder do root of your removable sdcard (external sdcard)Power off deviceHold volume down and turn on deviceWait till install process is done and device is booted again
2) Install custom TWRP recovery
Connect device to computer (ADB, fastboot needed and drivers installed)Download recovery.img from http://d-h.st/saW and copy to same folder with adb and fastbootType:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once you are in bootloader (huawei logo) :
Code:
fasboot flash recovery recovery2.img
When done reboot (hold power button) or:
Code:
fastboot reboot
3) Now lets recover our original ROM:
Download rom for your device ( 701u or 701w)Here are some links:http://susutun1.blogspot.com/2014/08/android-firmware-huawei-s-series.html

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58036946&postcount=33
Here is western europe images for S8-701w I use this one
It is the best available firmware for 701w (also multilanguage)https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7RlBIN4xO50QlFVSFZkWlhRX2c/view?usp=sharing
I can provide more firmwares but i have slow upload speed so I ask for someone here who can reupload them. I will send him link to inbox (limited download).
Extract UPDATE.app from firmwareDownload Huawei extractor (windows tool)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Open UPDATE.app with Huawei update extractor and extract SYSTEM.img and CUST.img (right click on images)Copy SYSTEM.img and CUST.img to your fastboot folderReboot to bootloader
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once you are in bootloader (huawei logo) :
Code:
fasboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fasboot flash cust CUST.img
Turn device off and boot to recovery (hold vol down and turn on)In recovery: Factory reset (format /data) and reboot.
Done!!
If you get stuck in bootloder unable to boot in recovery:
flash and boot into stock recovery to clear bootloder flag
then you can flash TWRP again Here it is:http://d-h.st/in71 (stock recovery)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
To ROOT flash http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu in recovery
Recovery: newest TWRP http://d-h.st/saW
BUGS:
Internal sdcard is mounted to /data/media, while on device /storage/emulated so use external SDcard.
Also because of wrong mounts when you do wipe it will delete everything on internal SDcard (only /data/media will stay)
TOUCH dont work when booted: just wait till screen off timeout (10s), then press power to turn screen on it will work now
Sorry for bad english!
Recovery downloads:
Version 1: http://d-h.st/JRp
Version 2:http://d-h.st/saW
Changelog: Fixed touchscreen issues!!
Couldn't be better timing. Just received my 701w unit (Iskon HR)
Hi,
I did everything according to the instructions, but cannot enter the Custom Recovery. :crying:
I tried and CWM and TWRP.
ADB Tool shows that all goes well, but when I press any combination of buttons to enter the Recovery, Tablet enters in the bootloader ...
Now cannot install a different ROM, because it does not start Stock Recovery to initiate dload, it enters the bootloader and standing there.
Do you have any idea what to do ...?
Edit: From Now as soon as plug the USB cable Tablet lights up ...
Edit: Nothing deleted on the internal SD card... Still I can see my old files

Can you explain what did you did last? Recovery, system, and cust images are flashed with fastboot in bootloader mode. There is only twrp recovery image here to download.
it Works

Thank you very much for your help in PM. With this Recovery2 in Post #2, Tablet works beautifully, and the entire process is quick and easy.
Root and TWRP Recovery I have, I can adjust the rest ... :laugh::good:

Thanks for the info. I updated first post with more info on how to resolve issue if stuck in bootloader, unable to boot to recovery!
Now that we are unlocked we should make some presure (send emails) to Huawei to release kernel source!
It would be interesting to see is it somehow possible to flash 701w with 701u FW, because as I can see on my tablet, it seems that SIM connector is here, but filled with some kind of rubber sponge material.
It is posibble. Just use system and cust images from u version. I am not sure if the sim connector is in. Cant get that sponge out.
Edit: that factory unlocked update.app is from u version anyway
Edit2 I think that all roms are similar they just disabled some stuff for wifi version with config files.
like /cust/channel/*/prop/local.prop
ro.config.wifi.only=true

Is there any link to see how to disassemble this tablet?
It would be much easier to put the sponge out with removed back plate.

I installed Busybox after I turned off "Mount namespace separation" in SuperSu
---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------
there was a problem: as soon as I push cable in tablet, from the charger or computer, tablet turn on, although previously it was switched off. Now I can not recharge when tablet is switched off, just when he is turned on...
I didn't do offline charging. I will see what i can do. That is not really a problem.

Same here.Im unable to load recovery unless i use ADB command on PC???
Any help?
Vol down when powering on will get you to recovery.
Also in terminal emulator app
su
reboot recovery
I have to hold the buttons Power and Vol- right up to the moment when it appears Huawei logo. Then go into TWRP Recovery.
If I let a moment sooner or later, can not enter the recovery.
Although there are small imperfections, I'm very satisfied, thanks IODAK :good:
I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=hr quickboot to go in recovery.App needs root.
Or use standard procedure hold vol- power on...
Who knows when is build custom rom for S8-701W?

I did everything that was stated in the how to's but to no avail. additionally i cant get TWRP installed via fatboot, i have checked and crosschecked usb debugging and unlock OEM , but i cant get it to work , with SP Flash my phone pops up and vanishes in the hardware manager withing fractions of a second so it doesnt work with the sp Flash , in fastboot it wont let me download to recovery even if i use the command line oem unlock , because the volume up button that you have to use to accept[yes] doesnt work , only the vol down[no ] button has an effect, anyone any ideas anyone?

To use SP Flash tools, turn the phone off, press download on the software then plug the phone in. The preloader is only meant to show for a short time (a fraction of a second to a few seconds) so SPFT needs to be sending the signal to download in that time window.
What I've also found works is to press download on SPFT then press and hold power and volume up until the device starts downloading.
thx for the quick answer i will try a.s.a.p.

That could be a couple of things:
Which SPFT version are you using? If its an older version try using a newer one.
Or
The scatter file you loaded is not good, download a stock firmware and use the scatter file from that.
Try this:
fastboot flash recovery "filename".img
or
fastboot flash boot "filename".img
Do you have the MTK drivers installed? What does your phone appear as in the Device Manager? Like others have said, once you've chosen your scatter file and recovery to flash, hit download and then plug in the phone.
Managed to fix this? I have the exact same problem and not able to fix it till now....
I'm in a similar situation. I CAN get my phone to flash recovery in SPFT and get a lovely big green tick but when I power off and boot into recovery using power and volume up it boots into the stock android recovery rather than TWRP.
Going another way via ADB, I can get the phone detected but when I send the OEM unlock bootloader command I am unable to use volume up to confirm. Only the volume down key works to cancel.
All I want is to put viper4android on. Never had any issues until this phone.

Are you 100% sure the recovery.img you flashed was TWRP?
Absolutely. Downloaded from this very site. It was this one: recovery_TWRP_3021_P9000.img
---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------
Did an OTA update this morning and am showing as on build number Elephone_P9000_20160608 now. Haven't tried flashing since the update as I'm at work with locked down computers. Was going to try again over the weekend. Which recovery and version of flash tools would you recommend trying this time?
thanks for any advice.
Actually I have the same problem.
I tried to reinstall the drivers because it seems to be not the correct one. Here is a pic: i.imgur.com/FoUnVyz.png
After I read somewhere that i can try and hold down Volume+ while connecting my phone to the pc where i started the download in sp tools prior.
I got this error code: STATUS_PRELOADER_INVALID(0xC0030004)
And here I am with a not-up-to-date elephone p9000.
Anybody care to help me?
I'm in the same situation, tried everything - flashtool recovery.img separate in download mode, flashtool in update mode full 7.0 with replaced original recovery.img with TWRP one, played with fastboot with no luck as did not find the way to OEM UNLOCK it - vol + not reacting. Bought the phone on Gearbest, looks like it's locked very hard.
Can't install TWRP
Me too! I've updated my p9000 to latest stock v7 rom with spft. I can't install twrp recovery despite getting a geen tick from spft. Tried four times but it won't overwrite the stock rom recovery. A locked bootloader seems to be the popular diagnosis but spft doesn't use the bootloader. What else could it be? Ideas very welcome.
Did you boot into recovery immediately after flashing? A normal system boot will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery. Once you start TWRP there is an option to prevent this from happening.
Can't install TWRP
Thanks for the suggestion. I flashed twrp again but it won't boot into recovery afterwards without a restart, just hangs. Stiĺl on stock recovery.
hi folks,
tomorow should be getting my hands on the Ulephone power 2.
its the 5.5 screen 4gb ram 64gb rom.
all looks good until i have seen that the normal duel sim is one is hybrid for sdcard which is the norm right,
ant
but............
usually its sim 1 is for 4g cards and the hybrid is for 2g/3g/sdcard. yeah?
well the power 2 looks like its sim slot 1 is a 2g/3g slot and the hybrid is 4g or sdcard??????????
so will have to choose 4g or sdcard??? that cant be right?
I don't try this device with sim.
I know you can use the older power (1) have a sim 4g and SD card
So i believe the power 2 have the same method.
My first steps: How to root this device? i don't find a twrp.
I try to root with kingroot kingoroot, no results
Please?
The power 2 is the same as the power wrt the sim/memory card tray; both sim slots support 4g, but only one at a time. So if you put two 4g sims in, only one of them will have 4g (you choose which one), with a sim and a memory card the 4g should default to the inserted sim, but you might have to check this in settings.
Received my power 2 a couple of weeks ago after having it on pre-order for a month and I love it (sold the original power towards the cost).
I haven't tried rooting it yet, but was thinking of trying to flash twrp for the original power and seeing if that works. The great thing about these phones is that they're very hard to brick as you can always flash them as long as they still switch on.

I'm sure it's not working the twrp from the power (1).
If you have troubles with bootloops you can flash again the facatory rom and SP flash tools.
Press the power volume + and - and SP flash tools gonna flash.
The only way is to made a twrp from the k6000 http://fvknl.pro/k6000-plus-root-guide/
I don't know how, that device is almost the same...
There has been 2 ulefone Updates since launch
Android 8.0 is scheduled for end of the year.
Updates are fine, who can create a TWRP? So we can finally root the device

TWRP please!
Not so easy to do it. It will take very long time to port or build twrp
It sucks that power 2 still doesn't have root or twrp. I refuse to touch unrooted phones. I just received it as gift. I will keep it in a drawer and check next month or so.
I find that it lacks optimisation, kinda laggy in 3D/games ..
On Antutu, scores is 44000. I tested a galaxy S5 of a friend, it was 72000. For a phone that is several years older than Power 2.
I understand that it comes not with high end cpu/gpu but still..
I will copy my post from needrom website.
I have successfully rooted my two Power 2 phones. I had to port the TWRP recovery from Oukitel k6000 plus using Carliv Image Kitchen and following some online tutorials.
The only issue is, TWRP is semi functional, that is, touch doesn't work. I had to connect a mouse to my phone via OTG usb port and using some dongle to make USB smaller to fit the port. Also it comes with Russian language as default, but can be changed to English or any other as the original TWRP from Oukitel k6000+ (3rd button from second column, then click on Globe tab at the top right then choose English and the only button at the bottom to accept the change).
I am trying to fix this with no luck so far. But at least I am rooted and I was able to flash "SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip" which is the latest as of writing this. SuperSu functions properly and I am able to use AdAway.
If anyone is interested in the recovery image, I will post it. I flashed it using fastboot though after unlocking the bootloader using "fastboot oem unlock"

I would very much like to give this a go with my ulefone power 2!
Here you go, TWRP for Ulefone Power 2
What you need to do before you start flashing:
0) You need to have ADB installed on your computer, if you have Windows, the easiest way is by using 15 Seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3.
1) Your bootloader must be unlocked, otherwise flashing recovery will fail using fastboot command. PLEASE NOTE: When unlocking the bootloader, your phone will do a factory reset automatically, so backup all your important files beforehand.
To unlock the bootloader:
a) Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Build number (tap on it 7 times to unlock Developer Options) -> Tap on back to Settings menu then Developer Options.
b) Now move the slider for "OEM Unlocking" to enable it, say yes to the warning message.
c) Enable "USB Debugging"
d) Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable, say Yes for the dialog on your phone to trust your computer for debugging using USB.
e) Run command prompt and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then press enter
f) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then press Volume UP on your phone to allow OEM Unlock. It shouldn't take long, just few seconds and a message will appear on command prompt saying success or OK.
g) Type
Code:
fastboot reboot
To reboot your phone, it might reboot twice, it will do a factory reset and you will have to "Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging" again. As a side note, you will also notice that OEM Unlocking is grayed out. It will remain like that unless you do "fastboot oem lock" or erase the entire phone (might erase imei, but can be restored using SN Writer Tool) and/or flash bootloader using SP_FLASH_TOOL, but I digress.
2) Before you flash TWRP recovery, you must have SuperSu zip file on your phone beforehand, otherwise, your phone will not boot to Android. It has to do with something about the original TWRP for Oukitel k6000+, since the author of that TWRP port said so in the instructions about how to flash the recovery.
So download SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip from this link or the original SuperSu thread on XDA, and copy the file into your phone, say inside the Download folder in the internal memory of your phone.
3) Open command prompt again if it is not already open, type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\TWRP-recovery-20170618-1340.img
Note: You replace the path for the TWRP recovery to where you have the file, to make it easier, just put it in the root of C drive.
Also, if you don't already know, while in command prompt, you can type C:\TWRP then press TAB to auto-complete the file name for you, so you don't have to type lengthy file names. Keep pressing TAB to cycle between similar occurrences, that is, if you have more than one file that their names start with TWRP
5) Press power button until phone shuts down. Then press Volume UP + Power and keep holding until you see super tiny text with 3 options to cycle between. Release your fingers from Volume Up + Power, then cycle between the options using Volume Up only, choose "RECOVERY" which is the first in the menu, then press Volume DOWN to select.
6) Wait a few seconds, you will be inside TWRP, connect your phone with a mouse since touch doesn't work here. Once you do, you will see a mouse pointer appear. I used a wireless mouse with bluetooth dongle, with an adapter to change USB port size.
7) Slide the slider to the right, to enable modifications to System partition. Don't press anything else, unless you know Russian, I don't .
8) To change the language to English or your own language, click on the third button of the second column. Then click on the Globe tab on the top right corner, change language, then press the only button at the bottom to accept. Language of the UI is changed.
9) Click "Install", browse for the SuperSu zip file you have downloaded to your phone, for example inside the Download folder. And then select it.
10) Slide to the right to flash SuperSu.
11) From the TWRP menus, you can reboot your phone.
12) Enjoy your rooted Power 2 phone. :good:

hello , i got a ulefone power 2 but unfortunately its not powering on. As i am from india and returning or replacing is costly and timetaking process, i need you guys to help me. I tried to flash it with software available on the website but stuck. I need some checksum.ini file which is not there in the firmware file provided. So anyone please help me. the phone doesnt even show the ulefone logo. i can just see the charging percentage when the charger is connected, then keeping it connected i tried to turn on but didnt work. keeping the charger connected ,after some time the display goes off and no mater how long you press the power button , the display doesnt show up. I can only see the notification bulb.
Soft bricked :laugh: trying to recover the phone, official ulefone guide is useless. Getting some error about a missing checksum.ini file. Will keep this thread updated
All went well until step 9, where I realised factory reset deleted the supersu zip. So I tried to reboot into system to download it again. It never booted. Doesnt even go into adb mode.
Fastboot mode and TWRP intact (TWRP needs a mouse). I was able to flash original recovery via fastboot, getting "cannot load system.img" error when I try to flash system (it appears I might need to update my adb/fastboot version).
UPDATE: was able to flash the stock rom. And tried to follow the guide again, and faced the same symptoms. If i have working TWRP, then the system doesnt boot. And vice-versa. Will keep updated, i'm a persistent mf

Yeah, I had the same issue with the software that comes from Ulefone, it was asking for Checksum Generator that I have to download separately, it was like 150kb stand alone executable, you put it in the same folder of your stock ROM and wait forever for it to build the Checksum, which unfortunately didn't work since it complains about multiple RECOVRY images. So scratch that.
What you need to do, is as I did, download SP FLASH TOOL, it works great, no shinanigans or bullsh!t. It flashed the stock ROM in less than 2 minutes (around 1:30 seconds, to be exact) and revived my phone. There are plenty of youtube tutorials on how to use it. It is easy, just load the scatter file, for the other file, you can use the same all in one mtk file that comes with SP FLash Tool (I did this) or use the one from your STOCK ROM.
I hope that helps :good:

Soft bricked :laugh: trying to recover the phone, official ulefone guide is useless. Getting some error about a missing checksum.ini file. Will keep this thread updated
All went well until step 9, where I realised factory reset deleted the supersu zip. So I tried to reboot into system to download it again. It never booted. Doesnt even go into adb mode.
Fastboot mode and TWRP intact (TWRP needs a mouse). I was able to flash original recovery via fastboot, getting "cannot load system.img" error when I try to flash system (it appears I might need to update my adb/fastboot version).
UPDATE: was able to flash the stock rom. And tried to follow the guide again, and faced the same symptoms. If i have working TWRP, then the system doesnt boot. And vice-versa. Will keep updated, i'm a persistent mf

All I can think of, you did something wrong. Initially, while I was trying to port TWRP, I had the same issue, I was trying to save some steps by flashing the recovery after I unlocked the bootloader without rebooting, the result was TWRP was not able to see any partitions.
Flash Stock-ROM and redo the steps. If you flash the preloader you might have to OEM Unlock your phone again.
I mentioned that if you "do not flash SuperSu, the system will NOT boot to Android". Also mentioned that after you unlock the bootloader, you have to RE-ENABLE USB Debugging, and while you are at it, check to see if your bootloader is unlocked inside Developer Options.
Edit: BTW, try not to unlock the bootloader if it is already unlocked. If it is unlocked, then skip the steps for unlocking the bootloader. It might cause an issue.
These are the steps I used to flash TWRP and I was able to flash SuperSu, all rooted apps are working fine, AdAway, Lucky Patcher...etc!

Here you go, TWRP for Ulefone Power 2
2) Before you flash TWRP recovery, you must have SuperSu zip file on your phone beforehand, otherwise, your phone will not boot to Android. It has to do with something about the original TWRP for Oukitel k6000+, since the author of that TWRP port said so in the instructions about how to flash the recovery.

Apparently if you dont flash the supersu first time you go into TWRP then it gets messy. Got the root working now. Thank you for the help and of course for the TWRP build!
Also if anyone's wondering it's possible to restore the system via fastboot. Extract the rom zip (can be downloaded from http:/ulefone.com/download/power2.html ) and flash boot, recovery and system;
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
link for sp flash tool u used.

ok what should i select there? formal all+download or download only or firmware upgarade???
Recently I installed a room on my Xperia Z2 (Ressurection Remix). It worked fine until I lost the password of my lock screen, and to solve I tried to access my recovery to give a wipe, however the room did not give access to my recovery (TWRP 3.0.2.0), to solve I tried to install my firmware Original Xperia Z2, by the flashtool, I installed all the drivers of my device and when I went to try to enter the flashmode mode the cell phone did not enter (lit a green LED and then red and turned off the device) the device goes into fastboot without problems, So after that I made a bigger asshole, by flashtool I put the device in fastboot mode and installed a TWRP kernel to see if it worked, it did not work. Now I have my device turned off and it does not turn on and only goes into fastboot. Could any kind soul help to fix my problem, or was it?
Same here op if you find a solution please tell me its been 8 hours till now and still cant find anything
all the buttons are working fine but cant power on the device or even get into flashmode.
as you said the green led flashes for a sec then reboot on and on
hope someone can solve this problem
Download an FTF from Xperia Firm make a bundle with that(everything is inside it) then flash it. When the windows pops up to connect hold volume - and connect it. It will be fine. Happened to me too. In flashtool flash screen allow it to wipe everything.

this is what happend when i tried to chick bootloader statues and nothing shows after 5 min of waiting
so guess there is no bootloader if you have any idea about it
It looks like you have bricked your phone somewhere along the line of installing cm with remix rom, maybe you didnt flash correct kernel when changing idk but im out of ideas here

If you can access to fastboot then:
1- Flash the Boot.img from Lineage rom via fastboot using this command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
"boot.img" I assume you put the boot.img in the same dir with fastboot.
2- Flash TWRP Recovery via fastboot using this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I assume you put the recovery.img in the same dir with fastboot.
3- Boot into Recovery by using VOLUME UP when Sony logo comes up with pink notification light.
Link to recovery.img [url]https://mega.nz/#!iBQkgabb!B3G6dmlEMu-2xRV4w8Fl4xzRYlXSDgTeXhRtgevuT9A
And check the driver of fastboot and flashmod if it installed correctly and always use flashtool v0.9.18.6 only for Z2

i was sure this wont work but i tried it to confirm
flashed them as you said but i cant power up the device ,the power button is working fine but cant power up
plugged the device directly into power source and tried to inter recovery mode as you said but nothing
the screen flashes with sony logo then reboot as fast as that
i was pressing volume button like a retarded maybe i will get into recovery mode but nothing happen
guess the only thing to do now is to change the motherboard since i have one from another device

Hi everybody,
Sorry if my post already exists and if my english is bad but i really need help...
I tried to root my honor 7 so first i unlocked bootloader successfuly, i installed TWRP too and everything seemed work very good until last step where my phone didn't boot, i stayed stuck in boot logo... Then I done a factory reset with wipe cache, dalvik, data etc...
Now the only things i'm able to do are boot on recovery mode, eRecovery and on fastboot&rescue mode. I lost adb and fastboot and i'm not able to acess to the phone so i can't put a rom on the phone to install it...
If anyone could help me it would be very nice because I'm going crazy. Thank you !
My phone was up-to-date, i can't remember witch firmware i had but i think it was Android 6.0.1

I was not able to connect to PC apart with fastboot (reboot in fastboot mode and connect to PC). Once done, just open a terminal and type "fastboot flash boot <boot image file name>.img" then do the same with IMG (as said in this page .

Read this carefully, this will restore youre phone:
1*.)No matter what youve done with this phone it will be cleanly installed like its fresh new, cause i had couple of problems and this method worked
1.)Download the latest b396 firmware
2.)format youre SD card with basic settings via Windows ( if you have a usb stick to connect youre SD card to computer like i do, if you cant connect youre SD card to computer, use another smartphone and format youre SD card with basic settings)- simply talking just format youre SD card
3.)create --->>>dload<<<--- folder like i wrote down without the --->>><<<--- stuff on youre SD card
4.)paste the update.app file to the dload folder
5.)insert youre SD card to phone
6.)this is the moment of truth hold down volume + & - key and power key all in once until the emui logo appears WARNING: remove all keys after logo appearing WARNING: if the logo doesnt appear even after 30sec. keep still holding until the logo appears
***If you get somekind of error i can help, if it worked youre a lucky guy
hello all,
sorry for my english.
My wife has my old phone G5, with twrp and fulmicsrom. But...
But, this morning, she deleted an application, but impossible to know which one. The phone starts in bootloop, with the blue LED flashing slowly.
I wonder if it failed to remove the boot loader (can not boot above).
adb no longer sees the phone, fastboot either.
The only access still possible is with "high flight" + "USB cable plugged". The phone goes into update download mode.
How can I restore a bootloader or a rom? With which software?
Thank you for your help.

So the recovery option doesn't work either? Because if it would work you could ofcourse just reflash Fulmics. I suppose she deleted it with root access accidentally?
Thanks for tour answers.
My problem is :
how to flash (original firmware or fulmics)?
In the phone, ok: mode download (thé only mode acces)
But, on my computer, which software to use?

Hello,
I come back with my problem. I got a kdz file: H85020v_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0323.kdz
But you can not find a utility to flash in download mode.
Are you little idea for me please?
Remi.
Download mode:
Turn off phone.
Hold volume up.
Insert USB cable still holding volume up.
Use LGUP and you need G5 dll files (drivers).
Info
Thanks for the Link
is it risky to flash the firmware
I recovered, while I had the fulmicrom before? I think so.
Is there a fulmicrom in kdz file?
Remi
hello all,
This post to give news of the smartphone:
I downloaded the various files here: https://www.stechguide.com/download-install-stock-rom-lg-g5/ (thanks @Sebar87 for the first link)
I Upgrade my kdz file ... 1% .. 2% ... 50% ... (ok!?) ... 100% !!! Cool!!!!!
The phone restarts, then 2 minutes later, a little music!
But after 10 minutes, still no pin code screen. And the phone starts to warm up slightly.
I had a little hope, but there I am a little afraid ....

magisk installation

dd / dev / zero
reboot
