Just as I was about start a new thread asking for help rooting this damn thing after hours of frustration, the search for similar threads option in the title box sent me here. Man I can't thank you enough! mulțumesc! :good:
Who knew a random Chinese rooting app would succeed where just about everything else failed. Installed it, rebooted, installed SuperSU...victory. Again thanks a bunch.
Oh btw like the OP mentioned, any idea which CWM works for this phone and a flash tool to get the job done? This phone doesn't seem to have proper drivers like the ones say Sony PC Companion would install which gets Device Manager to recognize the phone as say "Micromax A092" or something like that and not just as Android ADB Interface under Android Devices. This might be the reason why adb/fastboot doesn't detect the phone when connected in fastboot mode. Any further help truly appreciated too.
PS: OP/second poster, if you are still looking for a way to root your phones, there's a English version of Vroot to simplify things further..not that the Chinese version was much trouble to begin with. You are probably gonna end up installing SuperSU afterwards anyways. Please update this thread if you find a CWM compatible with this phone and a tool to proceed with the flashing.
Tried all things but no success
I used many softwares like oneclickroot, unlockroot. Unlockroot pro but it still not rooted then i try manual rooting with adb but any exploit and any file not pushing to data/local/tmp it gives an error read only file system pls help
I'm glad I could help ! On my phone debug mode enabled , without battery , hold Volume Down and then insert USB cable enters in fastboot mode ! For flasing original software micromax a092 use a " 8x10_fastboot_all_images.bat " file whitch looks like this : @ECHO off

Dude read my previous post will you? It was meant for you. Use Vroot. Its what worked for diaconu.silviu and its what's rooted my A092. If the Chinese version is a tad confusing, just download the English version and get rooting.

Hey man thanks again for the info. I'll look into it and get back to you if I don't understand something.
Wait...hang one...you need to remove the battery to get into fastboot mode?? How's the phone to boot up w/o a battery?
Anyhoo the method mentioned to get my phone into fastboot mode is to press the Volume Down key + the Power button for a while till the Micromax logo pops up and then connect via USB. It just sits there displaying the logo looking like the phone is hung but its apparently supposed to be in fastboot mode.
But you seem my problem is that while the phone is supposedly in fastboot mode, when I open up a command prompt in the adb/fastboot folder and type : fastboot devices, it doesn't detect anything. The phone does show up under Android Devices in Device Manager but fastboot ain't recognizing it.
Does your phone show up in Device Manager as anything other than an Android ADB Interface? Like say your phone model no. or something else. I get the feeling its not being recognized because there are no proper drivers for it.
Also what's the amount of RAM on your phone? 512mb or 1GB? Thanks again man :good:
Unfortunately for me ...only 512MB ! Here is how Device Manager see my phone (debug + charging mode only ) .
-With battery : Vol UP +Power button = standard recovery
-Without battery : Vol Down + Insert USB cable = fastboot mode ( logo Allview on screen...nothing else )

Only after i installed moborobo (i don't know why ) i could get a reply from adb devices command (of course android sdk installed ) and i did a phone partition backup !
I am just a newbie in this android stuff ! all that I have achieved is due XDA forum readings ...a lot of reading ! The next step for me is to find a way to CWM

Aaah I think you might have the equivalent of a Micromax Unite Engage A091. Its basically the same phone with half the RAM and memory. Rest of the specs are just about the same. Tell me are you running Jelly Bean 4.3 or Kit Kat 4.4 cause the A091 ships out here with a Kit Kat OS. Maybe that could clear some doubts.
Recovery mode is the same as yours i.e Vol UP + Power Button but I don't understand your description of getting into fastboot mode. How on earth will you get to the logo screen/fastboot if there's no battery in your phone? Still went ahead and tried it...doesn't work for me. The only way I can get into fastboot mode is by pressing the Volume Down + Power buttons and yes like you said it sits at the Micromoax/Allview logo screen but it certainly doesn't show up as Android Composite ADB Interface like in the image you posted...just Android ADB Interface.
Think i'll give this Moborobo a try...maybe it will help me out too.
Not a total newbie as I have rooted/unlocked/flashed/customized a X10 mini pro and a Xperia M but there's just little to no info about this particular phone that I hit a dead end with the rooting process till I happened upon your post and now I have to find a workaround for this fastboot problem. Yeah done a lot...a lot of reading (my bookmarks seem never ending ) on this great site plus many others.
About your CWM installation, why don't you download & install ROM Manager.apk and use that download and install the CWM compatible with your phone? There's no net connection on my phone yet and I haven't got around to reverse tethering my phone so I can use my broadband connection on it so I can't confirm but if I get it done before you, I'll let you know.

I tried every and I do mean every version of Framaroot...no dice. The Gandalf exploit that's need to root Qualcomm powered devices just refused to show up for some reason and the strange thing is that 24 hours ago, I had used it (version 1.6.1 I think it was) to root an Xperia M but no matter which version I installed on the A092, all it displayed was the Aragorn exploit which I believe is what is required to root Samsung phones. Also doesn't the Micromax A116 use a MediaTek processor? If I was doing something wrong, do let me know so I can avoid circumvent this situation in the future.

Which version did you use? The Chinese or English one? Because the Chinese one seems to be a newer version if I am not mistaken. I feel your frustration man, I spent an entire night trying to root the damn thing and Vroot was the only thing that worked for me. What operating system are you running? Have you manually installed the Google USB/Micromax drivers?
hey guys thanks i hav successfully rooted my micromax a092 and i m having KingUser as an Super User which works similar but now i need to install CWM recovery.....plz help me with that

Sorry man...nothing yet. I have been at it for a couple of days but no luck so far. ROM Manager says there's no supported version of CWM and since I haven't been able to get this thing detected in fastboot mode, flashing via command prompt is out of the question. Hope someone else can come to out aid with a working solution. Will update this thread if I manage to flash it.
Pls post the process of rooting
Hey buddy pls post the process to root of this damn phone

If you are telling me even Vroot didn't work for you, then I am afraid I might be out of suggestions. Did you try Kinguser which worked for the other guy?
Anyhoo unless you tell me exactly what's going wrong for you with Vroot, there's only so much troubleshooting I can do for you. You say its not working for you but you fail to mention which step of the rooting procedure in halting your progress. Basic but essential questions -
Have you switched on USB Debugging mode?
Is Vroot detecting your phone?
Did you follow the link in diaconu.silviu's post, the 3rd post in this thread and follow the exact steps given in that link? Because that's what worked for me.
Also you still haven't answered my question asking you whether you have installed USB drivers or which operating system you are running on your PC. If you are on Win 8, you need to disable driver signature to be able to install the drivers necessary for rooting. Follow this procedure -
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorial...abling-signed-driver-enforcement-on-windows-8
After that take a look at this tutorial for driver installation and do exactly what it says in case you haven't done it - http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/android/usbdebug/manualinstall.php
Give more information to people regarding your situation next time...posting a couple of lines saying this app or that ain't working your you isn't gonna help me or anyone else help you.
I used the same way
I used the same way phone conmecting with adb and show up in vroot as A092 When i click on root button it takes 15 To 20 Min. & after that vroot show retry button i tried it many time but no success

Hi,
I know that many people who have Prestigio Multiphone PAP7500 know that there are zero CWM-s for this Prestigio!
And finally I got CWM!
PS! It actually works with every rooted android phone!
1: Download MTK Droid Tools: I can't put link right now because I am new user! LINK COMING SOON
2: From your computer, open MTK Droid Tools and extract it to your desired location.
3: Open MTK Droid Tools.exe from the extracted folder (Run as administrator).
4:Wait for the tool to detect your device. (If UBIFS warning appeared in the status message, this process will not work for you. Only ext4 supported.). Notice on the bottom-left part of the tool, a YELLOW color indicator means that your android device is does not have root shell yet.
5: Click ROOT button to enable root shell your device.
6: Wait for the progress bar on the Status, see your phone to Grant Superuser access. If the color indicator turns GREEN, then you have successfully enabled root shell for your device
7: Now, select the "Root, Backup, Recovery" tab and and further choose "To Use Boot From Phone" from the selections.
8: Click Recovery and Boot, a message prompt will appear "To make CWM recovery automatically", click YES.
When the tool ask you to reboot your phone to recovery, click Yes and it will reboot to CWM recovery shortly.
Congratulations! You now have ClockworkMod custom recovery on your MediaTek android device. You can now enjoy apps that requires Superuser rights, mods and ROMs that requires flashing from CWM!
Hi all!!
This is for all the people who managed to softbrick (or hardbrick) their Lenovo Tab 3 8' (TB3-850F) tablets!
All you will need link, at the end of the post. I don't know for how long it will be up, but you can use it for now.
By the way.... Should you find something useful here... please hit the thanks button in the end
A. Unbrick
This requires flashing a clean stock rom. You will need:
a. stock rom for the TB3-850F (Google is you friend )
b. Sp Flashtool (you can download from their official site). From there, also download the MediaTek USB VCOM drivers and Driver Auto Installer v1.1236.00 (or any latest version).
Steps:
1. Install the windows drivers you downloaded
Note : If you encounter problems installing Windows drivers in Windows 10, google how to install unsigned drivers in Win10
2. Open the folder you extracted SP Flashtool and run it as administrator.
3. Unzip the rom file you downloaded.
4. Inside the folder of your unzipped rom file, look for a file similar to XXXXXXXXXX_scatter_file.txt
5. Load this in the SP Flashtool (click downlad tab, then scatter loading, load this file in there. It should load your rom you will see some colours, etc...
The tricky part:
Assuming you have correctly installed the drivers:
1. turn off the device (well if bricked it is turned off all ready) just make sure, and in SP Flashtool click options and 'with battery'.
2. Click the green download button on SP Flashtool.
3. Hold down the Vol down key on your device and connect it to a usb port.
4. If you see a red line and continue to yellow, all is probably good! Don't let go of the vol - button until yellow line reaches 100%
B. Root and TWRP recovery
This requires that you have or download:
a. platform tools (adb and fastboot)
b. a twrp.img (image file) for the lenovo TB3-850F copied to external SD Card and platform tools folder (google is... useful )
c. latest supersu.zip (flashable) copied to an external SD CARD
d. busybox.apk
Steps:
1. Grab tablet, go to settings ---> about tablet ---> click version number 7 times to enable developer options
2. From settings again click developer options and enable OEM Unlocking and usb debugging
3. Navigate in the platform tools folder. While holding SHIFT right click and select open commandline here (or similar)
4. Connect tablet to PC and in the command line issue: adb devices
If a weird number shows up and says device on the left you are all good to continue.
5. Now on the command prompt again issue: adb reboot bootloader
Your tablet should now reboot to fastboot (big Android, laying down)
6. Issue command: fastboot oem unlock (also check tablet screen for confirmation)
Wait a little bit and reboot your tablet. (should work with holding the power key down for a little longer than 10 seconds. If not hold down volume key and power button for the same amount of time - tested and working)
**At this point it is ESSENTIAL to leave the tablet to fully boot. The bootloader unlock triggers a FACTORY RESET which you must leave to complete and set up your tablet from the beginning.
** It is also ESSENTIAL to complete the boot and set up cycle because, after the automatic factory reset you will need to RE-ENABLE developer options and usb debugging. Once you are done continue to 7.
7. In the platform tools folder copy the twrp.img (you should have downloaded earlier, check upwards... )
8. Open the command line again and type:
a. adb reboot bootloader
b. fastboot boot twrp.img
** This will load up TWRP recovery only for this boot time.
****BE EXTRA CAUTIUS TO -NOT- ALLOW twrp to make modifications. Essential! Should you do otherwise go back to how to unbrick your tablet.
9. Choose install, and install supersu.zip.
10. Choose reboot to system and allow complete boot cycle! Essential!
11. Your tablet should now be rooted. However to succesfully flash the twrp recovery you need to have Busybox installed. Download as .apk and install it (at the time of writing this I believe Busybox 54 is the latest version).
12. Once installed back to the windows terminal and issue:
a. adb reboot bootloader
b. fastboot boot twrp.img
ONCE AGAIN - DO -NOT- ALLOW twrp to make modifications!!!!!
13. From you external SD Card install twrp.img, select recovery when prompted.
14. Reboot to system and enjoy!!!!
Note : Install an app that makes it easy to boot to recovery. (I personally use root essentials - Trying the combination keys did nothing for me, or just poped up the chinese options menu. That does not mean the recovery has not been installed correctly. Booting to recovery from rootessential menu, boots straight to twrp)

Hi all!!
This is for all the people who managed to softbrick (or hardbrick) their Lenovo Tab 3 8' (TB3-850F) tablets!
If you find it useful, just hit thanks in the end
A. Unbrick
This requires flashing a clean stock rom. You will need:
a. stock rom for the TB3-850F (Google is you friend )
b. Sp Flashtool (you can download from their official site). From there, also download the MediaTek USB VCOM drivers and Driver Auto Installer v1.1236.00
Steps:
1. Install the windows drivers you downloaded
2. Open the folder you extracted SP Flashtool and run it as administrator.
4. Unzip the rom file you downloaded.
4. Inside the folder of your unzipped rom file, look for a file similar to XXXXXXXXXX_scatter_file.txt
5. Load this in the SP Flashtool (click downlad tab, then scatter loading, load this file in there. It should load your rom you will see some colours, etc...
The tricky part:
Assuming you have correctly installed the drivers:
1. turn off the device (well if bricked it is turned off all ready) just make sure, and in SP Flashtool click options and 'with battery'.
2. Click the green download button on SP Flashtool.
3. Hold down the Vol down key on your device and connect it to a usb port.
4. If you see a red line and continue to yellow, all is probably good! Don't let go of the vol - button until yellow line reaches 100%
B. Root and TWRP recovery
This requires that you have or download:
a. platform tools (adb and fastboot)
b. a twrp.img (image file) for the lenovo TB3-850F copied to external SD Card and platform tools folder (google is... useful )
c. latest supersu.zip (flashable) copied to an external SD CARD
d. busybox.apk
Steps:
1. Grab tablet, go to settings ---> about tablet ---> click version number 7 times to enable developer options
2. From settings again click developer options and enable OEM Unlocking and usb debugging
3. Navigate in the platform tools folder. While holding SHIFT right click and select open commandline here (or similar)

Note 2: If you encounter problems installing Windows drivers in Windows 10, google how to install unsigned drivers in Win10
I apologize for not being able to post links, but I believe the required software is not particularly hard to find.
Hope I have helped! Happy playing with the commands and whole process! I will continue to help as much as I can :good:

Thank you for the encouragement. I am in hopes that we can eventually get a dedicated device forum for the tb3-850f. I truly believe this tablet has the potential for plenty of future development.
@r&xp I love you so much, I was in the same predicament as you and you helped get my tablet running again. Just wanted to mention, I had to hold volume down when plugging in the USB for the SPFT step instead of volume up. THANK YOU AGAAAAAAAAAAIN <3

Glad it worked for you. Isn' t it like a really good feeling when you actually see your bricked device boot correctly for the first time after you had almost deemed it unusable???
(also... a... small request... could you please click on that thingy... you know... that ehhh... thanks button??? :angel::angel:)
Just an update, since damaging my TB3-850F, I have since ordered another unit from Office Depot which is due to be delivered Monday or Tuesday. Once it arrives, I'll finish my TWRP flashable stock 6.0 ROM for this device and start back on the modified stock ROM.

Looking forward to it. I picked mine up from walmart just yesterday for using as a google maps/car media center
My Lenovo Tab 3 replacement finally arrived in the mail. I'll be picking up where I left off on compiling both unmodified stock and custom stock-based ROMs for this tablet.
On my modified stock based ROM, I'm considering the implementation of Substratum (Root Ver) for theming, but I would like to get the input of other device owners first. So far, I have debloated, deodexed and zipaligned the OS. I am including the modified/patched boot image with SuperSU v2.79 SR3 binaries installed for systemless root, Nova Launcher, Pixel Icon Pack, BusyBox v1.26.2 binaries pre-injected in /su/xbin/, and Kernel Adiutor-Mod installed in /system/apps/ for user defined adjustments to the stock kernel and governors.
You guys please give me input on what you would like included in the ROM. Thanks

Try again to get TWRP installed to your /recovery partition or, alternatively, try to simply boot into TWRP from fastboot with the fastboot boot twrp.img command. It is common for members to experience some difficulty in installing custom recovery on this device. It has been my experience that most members are successful the second time around.
Thanks MotorJunkie!! But mine after was saved from brick from this thread, i was rooted it also by your instructions from other thread.. Now the gps from GoogleMap doesn't determine the location (even the location already turned on ) ... Plus i couldn't check the systemupdate ( it says connection network failed even i was connecting to wifi already) ...
What should i do, or do you know how to fix it?

System updates (OTAs) won't install on rooted operating systems. To install an OTA, you must have unmodified stock /boot, /system, and /recovery partitions installed. On the GPS issue, go to Settings, Apps, and ensure Google Maps has been granted location access permission.
Hi ...
I followed this guide but during the unbricking' I unplugged the device from USB (since I could not see any input on device or indication in SP Flash Tool).
Now the device will not turn on at all (previously I would see the Lenovo Logo splash screen but then it would just stay at this screen. Now i do not see anything).
When I plug into computer by USB, it causes my computer to freeze up (Windows 10).
Any ideas or is this now completely bricked? (hard bricked).

It sounds like a hard brick. I can't speak for the OP, @r&xp on this, so you may want to get his advice. Have you tried the OP's methods of using your hardware buttons for forcing the device into adb/fastboot recognition? I think this is your only chance of recovering it. By it not powering on, from my experience, a bootloader or bootloader dependent partition has been corrupted, thus hard bricking the tablet.

Hello, I'll weigh in on this one. There are multiple threads above the TB3-850F on this forum and also another forum.
I initially followed a different thread and instructions which caused my problem. Notably do not allow TWRP write access !!! This mistake caused the soft-brick.
Anyone following any other advice about TB3-850F or downloading any other image BEWARe. Only follow the advice in this thread by r&xp:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lenovo-tab-3-8-tb3-850f-unbrick-root-t3598727
Following this advice I now restored original image and then rooted in just a few hours.. Thank you r&xp for the good advice. :laugh:
Hi !
I've attempted to deal with the devil by trying to root my Pioneer XDP-300R resulting in a bootloop problem (device is stuck on "Powered by Android" screen).
I attempted to flash a boot.img for a Onkyo DX-P1 (which is the same firmware), and still I haven't progressed.
No firmware, update or imgs are provided on Pioneer's website.
I still have access to fastboot (OEM is LOCKED, so I can't boot TWRP and such) in bootloader mode and adb push (no shell) in recovery mode.
Do you guys have any idea how to sort it out ?
Edit :
I managed to make my device go into Qualcomm's emergency download mode.
Here's how to :
1 - Make sure the device is completely off and unplugged from USB.
2 - Install QPST V2.7.474 (not enough posts to share url, but I can PM it).
3 - Install QDLoader Drivers (same as #2).
4 - Simply press and hold the "Play" button while connecting it to your computer, the device manager should see a "Qualcomm 9008 port" listed in Ports while the player's screen stays black.
5 - Do the Carlton (important step !)
Now, if anyone possessing a FUNCTIONAL AND ROOTED Pioneer XDP-300r is reading this and willing to help, can you get in touch with me ?
Together, we could manage to save all the other devices from soft-bricking.
All I would need from you is some time, hard disk space and patience to sort it out.
Please <insert_your_name_here>, you're my only hope !
Edit #2 :
Thanks to minotauri's great help, we managed to get a FULL rom backup, split the partitions to files and generate all the files needed for QFIL.
ErrOzz has been given access to this, hoping that he'll try it out soon.
If that works, I'll link you the files and write the walkthrough to bring you DAP back to life.
minotauri's contributions are not in rest tho, he managed to also successfuly patch TWRP for the device, so anyone can securely flash things from there now.
For anyone reading this thread : you're not the only one who screwed things up, we did too but we might have the cure. Hang in there !

Hi - I saw your post on Head-Fi (antdroid over there). Let me look into this!
Here is a bunch of system dump images and qcn files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1diqQ8LE-yG4b-WZFB_OPcQp2rDUp9BbV?usp=drive_open
Hello.
How can I write boot from qdload 9008 state?
Hi !
From the edl / qdload 9008 state, you can't afaik.
Here's how I think you can :
1 - Unplug your device from USB and power it off from whatever state it is.
2 - Power it on pressing Power + Previous button (keep holding, you should be "stuck" on the penguin logo).
3 - Connect your USB.
4 - Check that you have a Android ADB Device in your device manager (install drivers manually if you have an Unknown device).
5 - Grab any fastboot from the internet if you don't already have it (I'll PM you my gdrive, it's there for exemple).
6 - From CMD, go to fastboot directory. (cd <my_folder_with_fastboot>).
7 - Type in : fastboot devices
If fastboot sees your device, you're on the good path, else, check your driver / connection / reboot to fastboot "penguin" state.
8 - Type in : fastboot oem device-info
If it replies
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
among others, you're in a good, good way, else, you're screwed by now, but we are working on it.
9 - If all the precedent are fulfilled type :
fastboot flash boot <my_boot_image.img>
10 - Mandatory Carlton.
I hope you'll be in the right path all the way, if you're stuck somewhere or if your bootloader is locked, please let me know.
Cheers !

Hi,
I have the same problem. I am able to get qdload 9008 state from here now. However, after unplug and followed grogcw's hints, the device is not recognized again. Also, the device hasn't ennobled debug mode before too. All the adb and fastboot commands return no device.
Hopefully can get more help here.

Is there anyway to flash TWRP and so with QDLoader?
I believe he is on vacation for another week and half. If you haven't enabled the bootloader unlock option within Android, then my recovery method may not work since it may not let you flash the recovery.
You can try to fastboot boot recovery.img though
Hi ! I'm back from vacation, but I still haven't my device around.
Any user willing to test are welcome to reply or PM me !

How can we get started?
We actually did start probing stuff around, and we are missing something in the "full restoration process", so we're stuck for now.
Sahara protocol still is a mystery for us, and we can't get pass an error.
I think we don't actually have the right programmer_firehose.mbn for our device, but if it's not this, I'm basically out of ideas. (we might need an "QFIL expert" on this)
I still don't have my device around and feeling dumb about this.
Anyway, all the files and tools required to try probing around are in my gdrive and I can PM the link (as I still can't post it right away) if anyone is interested.
Thanks for trying to help or actually help everyone !

i was able to unbrick my device
dantuko said:
all credits go to anthony nguyen aka minotauri. Thank you!
requirements:
samsung drivers installed
windows 10 (i have the windows 10 pro installed)
oem unlock
usb debbuging selected prior to brick
install the latest samsung drivers
install fastboot/adb drivers
stock-boot.img provided by minotauri
the steps are as follows:
the device must be in recovery mode an plugged to the computer. I was on stock recovery
open device manager in windows, look for anything android and delete it and choose to delete the drivers
refresh device manager for new devices (keep only the xdp-300 android connected)
right click on the android device and click on update drivers
select browse my computer for driver software
click on let me pick from a list of available drivers
unselect show compatible drivers (if you see a samsumg driver here, select it. If not try generic windows adb drivers)
seletct google adb drivers (this is the one that worked and it's under samsung drivers)
i performed the steps 1 through 8 a few times until the computer categorized the device as adb
open a command prompt, navigate to the directory where fastboot is installed and type: Fastboot devices (you should have a device listed here)
type: Fastboot oem unlock (this unlocks the bootloader)
after copying stock-boot.img to the root of the your fastboot directory, type: Fastboot flash boot stock-boot.img (reboot)
after the reboot you should see normal boot
if you want twrp and root follow the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/pioneer-xdp-300r-digital-audio-player-t3902949 all credits go to anthony nguyen.
i installed twrp the latest supersu pro, viper4android, root browser, busy box pro and everything works perfectly.
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:good luck to you e n j o y ! ! !:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
i am not an android programmer so i won't be able to help you from that perspective, but i a software engineer so i maybe able to answer some questions.
There is no guarantee this method will work for you but it did work for me

Here is a few items to note about the image:
You must have twrp installed and accessible in order to restore this image.
First time booting after the restore will take a long time, so have a cup of coffee and let it do it's thing.
Every time you boot the OS will perform application optimization, it doesn't bother me so I have not even looked into it.
After you boot connect to your WIFI and open Google Play to set up your account
If you want to use Viper4Android, download and install busybox, then open settings, go to apps and disable Musicfx, then reboot and turn Viper4Android on.
Good luck

Thanks for answer and sharing your files. Unfortunately, there is some error when trying to restore in TWRP.
I packed all the items from your disk in ZIP and downloaded to the SD card .
I'm getting an error about the content: no MD5 file found Failed to map file'/external_sdxxxxxx-Full BACKUP.zip'
Error instaling zip file
. Do you have an idea why this is happening?
twrp settings

You need to change settings in twrp not to check md5 checksum, if it doesn't work then i'll create one with checksum.
