Hello again,
I need your help again and I decided to ask you before I am screwing up my phone again.
I want to install the clockworkmod custom recovery on my phone, but unfortunately I just can not figure out how to install a generic version.
What I did so far:
1.) I installed a custom ROM by simply downloading the coresponding file from needrom... This ROM already contains the superuser settings so this is done
2.) I read a lot about the bootloader, which has to be unloocked at the Lenovo S90... I found a file, which is apparently doing this job... Its a ZIP file called "S90-CN_UnLock_BootLoader.7z" this file contains 6 files: (I) emmc_appsboot.mbn (II) gpt_backup0.bin (III) gpt_main0.bin (IV) patch0.xml (V) prog_emmc_firehose_8916.mbn (VI) rawprogram0.xml
Next I flashed them via the tool QFIL on the phone... Phone restarted and all good
3.) And thats where I get stuck... According to the thread I was following so far for a successful installation of the TWRP recovery I just needed to download the file " TWRP-2.8.6.0_S90.7z" and start the file called "Flash-TWRP_S90.bat"
However, a custom recovery should always start from the beginning, when I keep the up volume button and the power button at once pressed... However, with this it is not working + I would really prefer the clockworkmod as it was nice on my old Samsung.
the "how to" which I followed is coming from "ainotech.com/how-to-flash-lenovo-s90-sisley-root-and-custom-firmware/" just without the "
Thanks
P.S.: The phone is a Lenovo S90-U 2GB
There is something I want to add...
After following the steps of this website, which state above, I installed the custome recovery... Well at least I think so...
If I open the app: "Mobileuncle Tools" there is this option shich states: "Into Recovery Mode"
When I click this button, my phone shuts down and starts in the TWRP recovery. However, I can not access this mode in the convencional way, meaning: 1. Switch phone off 2. Volume up button + Power button...
If I do this or any other combination I do not get into this recovery mode anymore only through the Mobileuncle Tool...
(If I push Volume down + Power I go into flash memory)

I just want to pose a question:
My volume down button has been broken (peculiar build quality of these things ), but to the best of my current knowledge i'm safe. In CWM recovery i can always loop in the scroll to make the right decisions and to reach "fast boot" i don't need to use the "volume down". My question is then this: Is there any situation that I could happen to stumble upon in which I would need the down button to carry out an "unbricking process"/wipe/reseting? I have never had to use "fast boot" since all my issues jumping between firmwares have been resolved through CWM, and I don't want to just try "fast boot" now just to find I need the "volume down" to be able to restart the device
I don't think that button is needed for a major task, I think you're safe for now!
With the stock recovery you'll need it to use the update, but with cmw as you said it you don't need it, for fastboot/adb you don't need it, for now there's no major task that I can think of that that button is needed.

Thanks for the swift answer! So if i for example flash FolioMod then I need to flash CWM in order to change to another firmware. How do one flash CWM without using stock recovery? ADB? Guide somewhere?
Heres a post i've found on another forum that explains how to set up fastboot:
Step 1 - Install fastboot driver for the Folio :
- Download PdaNet and install it on your PC, it will go till a point where it says it can't be installed and cancel itself but the magic is that the driver is installed.
Download PdaNet from www[dot]junefabrics[dot]com/android/download.php (i had to put the link that way cause the forum wont allow me to post outside links yet)
Step 2 - Download the tools needed to prepare the Folio
- Download and extract the following archive on your PC, these are the tools needed to erase the Folio and to flash the Honeycomb rom. You will only need what's inside the folder ToolsD...
Download from www[dot]box[dot]net/shared/4ugbev5jnx5fbp3v3u2e
Step 3 - Start fastboot mode on the Folio
- Start the tablet and at the TOSHIBA logo press 3 times Power and 1 time Vol+, then connect it to the PC. It should be detected by the driver we installed at step 1.
Step 4 - Erase the tablet and flash the new recovery (ClockWorkMod)
- Open a cmd window on your PC, go to the folder ToolsD we extracted at step 2 and type in the following commands :
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase linux
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Step 5 - Install the new rom from ClockWorkMod
- Once the reboot starts, at the TOSHIBA logo, press Power and Vol+ at the same time, then Vol+, then Vol-, then Vol+. You should be in ClockWorkMod recovery...
- Prepare a SD card with your favorite rom (for me it's Folio3x(HoneyComb 3.0.1) for Folio100 - VegaComb based), don't forget to unzip it, you should end with a update.zip file.
- Insert the SD card in the tablet and select - apply sdcard:update.zip, it should start the installation. If not chose - install zip from sdcard and choose the file. If you can't see it, either the sdcard is not formated correctly or it simply does not see the card, try to reboot the recovery with the sdcard inserted.
After these steps and once it's installed, it should reboot and start VEGACOMB. Please be patient, it takes a while to start... and do not forget to reboot after the initial setup to activate the wifi (yes it's a bug)!
If it still does not start, reflash it again (step 5) sometimes it just does not work on first try. What you can also try is to format the different partitions from ClockWorkMod recovery, there's a Mounts and Storage menu and after you mount all the possible partitions (some won't), format them all, reboot the recovery and start step 5 again.
Regards,
Luis

If you want to change your recovery, just replace the recovery.img on the ToolsD folder with the one you want, then on step 4 just do the following:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
You dont need step 5.
I also think that if you remove the recovery.img from the update.zip before you flash the rom it will keep the recovery you have now, but i cant confirm that, anyway, if you need to change the recovery just do those steps.
Hi all. I will try to write an tutorial for all who want to root your new update firmware.
First lets consider that you have updated your firmware and booted at least one time.
Now what we need is: one PC,cable to conect your phone to PC, and 2 tools: TWRP 2.7.1.1 for KK and Superuser or SuperSU at least 2.16, no less.
Lets begin.
1. Connect your phone to your PC and install phone drivers correctly.
2. Copy superuser.zip or SuperSU on your SDCARD. Remember: only one is good. DO NOT FLASH BOTH. Flash the one you like.
3. Disconnect your phone from PC.
4. Extract files from TWRP 2.7.1.1 or the newest one TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev 2 archive on some folder on your PC.(Remember the folder )
5. In your folder that you extracted your archive you should find recovery.img and one scatter file.
6. Now you must have this FlashTool - SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119 or SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01. Not Optional.
7. Power Off your phone.
8. After power off your phone open FlahTool and browse for the scatter file your folder where are the recovery.img and scatter file.
9. Now comes the tricky part .
10. Load the scatter file and mark DA DL with check sum in SP Flash Tool v3. In SP Flash Tool v 5 dont need. They are allready selected. Recovery.img should appear checked.
10.1. I have updated the post with some custom scatter files for 4GB and 8GB Firmware. Iff you get diferent errors when you flash the recovery file use this custom scatter files.
11. Press Download NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
12. Now, just now plug the cabble on your phone. Download should start and a green circle should appear.
13. After this you should have custom recovery TWRP installed.
14. Then boot directly to recovery your phone by pressing power with vol + and vol - butons together. Not Optional!
15. From TWRP flash Superuser.zip or SuperSU 2.xx. SuperSU is fixed. Works fine now.
16. Voila you have your KitKat rooted.
17. Now go to Magazin Play and download an RootChecker app and verify.
Hope this helped. For me worked with no mistake.
Waiting for feedback.
Update:
I have uploaded TWRP Corrected by Javum. Thanks Javum. And it is working on ROW 226 and 227 tested personaly by installing patches, superuser and making backups.

If the 12 point doesn't work it means that you don't have the driver installed or installed correctly. Check the drivers.

Your phone seems to be produced in 2014. For this phones must do this:
1. Must flash with another preloader.
Look for this ROM : P780_S136_140306_Lang.7z
Flash this Rom then OTA update.
Then tell me if it works.

After flashing the tablet is not charging, does not turn on the computer is not detected. The solution for such bricks include:
1. Remove the back cover plate.
2. Turning off the power connector.
3. Unpack firmware somewhere on your computer.
4. Turn SP Flash Tool 5.14 and set the path to the file from a folder with MT6582_Android_scatter unpacked firmware (see para. 3)
5. Expose setting Format All + Download and hit Download.
6. Hold down the Volume + pressed connect the USB and wait until the flashing process will start. (The buttons do not go!)
7. As soon as you see a yellow band of interest on the firmware download, you can release the Volume + and wait for the end of the process.
8. After the firmware disable USB, connect the power connector of the battery and turn our device for verification.
9. Put the cover back.
As I said, flashing a site Ainol not work and leads to a brick (3 times sewed, 3 times okirpichil). I solved this problem by replacing preloader.bin of the new version on preloader.bin from the previous version, which is stitched without any problems, and then packed RABOCHUYUYU latest firmware for our tablet did re-initialization of memory + 2GB USRDATA (instead of 1 GB for applications will be allocated 2 GB and there is no fault with the lack of space). Spread the firmware for the members of the forum.
To flash mode Firmware Uprade through SP Flash Tool (for those who okirpichil: see. The instructions above)
Do not forget to make backup NVRAM!

Hello everyone.
Small Intro:
So, I bought Note 10 [Exynos] N970F. I wanted to use custom rom on it. I tried both Dr. Ketan's ROM and 420 Rom. Both of these roms were surely amazing and Dr. Ketan's rooting guide really helped in rooting and all things. Such a kind person to help for new comer.
As there are only these two roms at the moment and AOSP roms are either not available or very old with incomplete guide to flash. So after trying many different ways for flashing Generic System image (GSI) for my device. After series of failures, bootloops as I surely found some method to actually install GSI on N970F
Tested GSI
Havoc 3.8
Descendants
CrDroid v222 200816
Type of GSI to Use for our device:
ARM64-AB (As known as ARM64-bvN)
What's working:
Sim/IRC
Calls
Data/4g
Bluetooth
Wifi
Camera
Storage
Sensors
NFC/Location/Hotspot
Bugs:
MTP/USB connection not working
FingerPrint not working with Descendants Rom
(Can't confirm any further bugs. If you found please report so I can update thread)
Don't do anything without reading 4th Post (Disclaimer)
Your phone's internal storage will be wiped, deleting all of your data so make a backup
Prep:
1: Download firmware for your phone (Extract firmware and copy AP file to phone)
Either Use Frija or This website (Make account here, connect to GDrive and you can download from google server or IDM. Fast, Resume)
2: Download TWRP for your phone (It is better to have TWRP based on same base as is your phone's firmware download)
See here for TWRP (Usually has updated twrp) or see telegram of developer
(Extract twrp zip to have recovery.img. If it has different name, save it as "recovery.img", We will call it twrp-recovery.
3: Download Magisk Manager, install on phone
4: Patch AP file you copied to phone with Magisk Manager (Run magisk manager, --Install --> Select & Patch file --> Select AP)
A new file "Magisk-Patched.tar" will be saved in download folder. Copy it to PC. We will call it Patched-AP.
5: Open Patched-AP with 7-Zip. You should see files in it. (There should be a recovery.img in it) Now drag & drop twrp-recovery to 7-Zip window open Patched-AP. Wait for process, as it will replace stock recovery with twrp recovery. We now have an AP file with magisk & TWRP pre-patched.
Now we will use this updated Patched-AP
6: Download Latest Multi-disable from here
7: Download your desired GSI. Havoc GSI, CrDroid GSI, Descendants,Others
(Download ARM64-AB or ARM64-bVN) If you want Google apps it is better to download GSI with built-in GAPSS.
Steps to Follow:
(Enable USB Debugging on your phone, Turn on OEM Unlock option in developers option)
1: First Unlock Bootloader of your device (Boot to download mode-- Power off, Volume up + volume down and connect to pc)
2: Follow on-screen instructions to unlock bootloader (While in download mode -- long press volume up for unlock area, volume up to unlock)
Info: Now phone will do wipe and you should be back into system. Now due to some Samsung restriction, you must enable USB debugging again & see OEM unlock check if greyed out (untouchable). (You must do it as system gives download mode a signal to prevent issue with custom files flashing)
3: Boot to download mode, Press volume up. Connect to PC.
4: Run Odin, Select files, AP as Patched-UP we created, CSC as Home-CSC, CP and bootloader that your extracted.
(Uncheck auto-reboot in odin)
5: Start Flashing, wait for it to pass. Now we will boot to recovery from here
6: To boot into recovery, first we should exit download mode then boot to recovery during that process.
First Hold volume down + Power --> wait for screen to go black--> as soon as screen goes black--> leave all buttons --> now press Volume UP + Power --> Keep pressing until you boot into TWRP recovery.
7: Now Swipe to allow modifications --> Wipe --> Format Data --> type "yes" --> swipe. Wait for Wipe.
8: Now Click reboot --> Reboot to Recovery. Wait for Phone to boot back into TWRP recovery.
9: Again Swipe to allow modification. Connect to PC & Copy the Multi-Disable to phone.
10: Install Multi-Disabler --> Install --> Select Multi-Disable --> Swipe to flash. Wait for it. Reboot again to recovery.
11: Copy your downloaded GSI img to Phone. Select Wipe and do a factory reset.
12: Install GSI --> Install --> Select IMG --> Click on GSI image --> Select System partition to flash. It takes few seconds.
13: Now Reboot to System.
Phone Should be booted into new GSI installed

Thank you. Can i install on note 10 5G korea (N971N) with this method?
can i use this method with N971N ?
Hello everyone! This is my first post, I'm very very new here If I somehow missed a rule or two and shouldn't have posted here or etc DO TELL ME, Im open to anything and I appreciate it! To the point, I won't stretch the topic, I'll tell you how I rooted my Gionee x1 device, and the problems I faced and their solutions. You may ask yourselves or just come reply here, Who even owns that device, Well I own one and I wasn't able to root this device it was hard, so for the other mates out their having bought this piece of brick.
and, there's a reason to why Im writing this topic, do read to the end.
So, to start I first of all researched alot both on google and xda forums for any way of doing it, most of which either didn't work or were not supporting my device(f.e. One Click Root Methods didn't work at all).
1. This post has a reply by ZedLens, which is awesome but to my surprise it didn't work for me.
2. This post BusinessKid is a great tutorial for any MTK Device, but the 3rd step of "The Download Stuff:" I couldn't find the scatter for my device.
3. I've a strict download limit for my internet, so I couldn't download the Stock ROM, so I somehow had to extract it from my device, which I failed why? MTK Droid Tool wasn't able to recognize my device. I diagnosed for all possible reasons for this, bad USB check, bad device port check, wrong process check nothing worked, so at the end of the day I somehow managed to download the Stock ROM of Gionee X1 and EVERYONE HAS TO DO IT IN THE END, you'll really need it anyhow.
Now the rooting process,
Tools/Stuff I used:
1. SP Flash Tool(This thing here, is like your hand during examination)
2. MTK Drivers(Important)
3. Stock Gionee X1 ROM
4. Magisk Manager App
I'll attach the Magisk Patched boot.img here along with the scatter so that you can directly flash the boot img instead of wasting time to download the stock rom and etc etc. also you can reply down here if you need any other file, I'll send it to you somehow :3
NOTE: All the images, links, tools, programs and everything belong to their respective owners!! Everything you are doing with the steps above are STIRCTLY your responsibility, if you do it wrong and brick your device you can't charge me for bricking your device, only you and you will be held responsible for any damage/sucess/etc to your device.
Steps to install:
1. Get Stock boot img
2. Install Magisk Manager (DON'T DOWNLOAD IT FROM ANYWHERE use TopJohnWu's Github)
3. Somehow get the Stock boot img into your Internal Storage or anywhere, where Magisk Manager can find and Patch it, Use adb push, connect usb and copy it to the Internal Storage, ANYHOW.
4. After copying, Open Magisk Manager, you'll find two things on the main screen, one is Magisk which has status infos such as (Installed: ), (SAR: ), (A/B: ) and (RAMDISK: ). Within the same square which contains those status info you'll find a Install click on it.
4.1. After clicking on install you'll get a new menu, select next in the Options Square ignoring the choices there(Preserve AVB 2.0 blah blah) and click Next. Now you'll be in the Methods Square here, you select "Select and Patch a File", now locate to the Image and after successfully locating and selecting it click on Let's Go on the right cornor.
4.2. If your image is patched successfully your log in front of you will look something like this:
- Device platform: armeabi-v7a
- Installing: 23.0 (23000)
- Copying image to cache
- Boot image is signed with AVB 1.0
- Unpacking boot image
- Checking ramdisk status
- Stock boot image detected
- Patching ramdisk
- Repacking boot image
- Signing boot image with verity keys

- All done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4.3. You have your patched boot image!!
5. Now get the patched image back to your pc -.-
6. Prepare yourself to focus, Im not responsible for your bricked device!
7. Goto This XDA Post for Tutorial and Information about SP Flash Tool, MTK Drivers ADB Drivers, etc etc.
8. Download and Install MTK Drivers(Link Credit: Bovirus' this post)
1. You'll find a exe, just execute it and it'll be installed automatically.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
9. Download and open SP Flash Tool and select Scatter-loading file.
10. Now After you've selected the scatter loading file you'll find there are various selections in front of you, Preloader, lk, boot, recovery and etc etc
10.1. DESELECT or UNSELECT (OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT) every selection other than boot.
10.2. In the row of boot/bootimg, (remember the patched boot image?) click on LOCATION you'll get a explorer window to locate to the patched boot image, locate and select it. In the last it should look something like this:
https://imgur.com/a/WMbTTAC
10.3. Click on Download in SP Flash Tool and connect the device, see next step.
11. Power Off the device and Remove the battery(See 3. in Issues I faced).
12. Now while pressing the Volume UP and Down Button together, connect the M-USB to your device port. I can't explain this but, firstly connect the USB cable to your pc then to your device haha.
13. You'll hear the device connected sound of Windows(If windows user) and the flashing will start
14. Reboot to OS and Voila! Check your Magisk Manager, your device is now rooted! Do remember to install the Magisk App just below the Magisk Root Check!
Now, issues I faced:
1. Device wasn't connecting to the SP Flash Tool, I reinstalled the MTK Drivers but it didn't do any change.
2. FastBoot flashing didn't work, I opted for SP Flash Tool later.
3. Device was starting into Factory mode and/or Recovery mode whenever I pressed Volume UP/Down and then connecting the device through USB, removable battery came to my rescue. Removed the battery, pressed both volume Up and Down button and then connected the USB.
NOTE: Again, all the images, links, tools, programs and everything belong to their respective owners!! Everything you are doing with the steps above are STIRCTLY your responsibility, if you do it wrong and brick your device you can't charge me for bricking your device, only you and you will be held responsible for any damage/success/etc to your device.
Links for boot.img and scatter file: Here is the MediaFire link, I've scanned the files with my Quick Heal Total Security I'm not those multidadoffspring who likes to spread virus/malware etc. and Here is the VirusTotal Link.
Feel free to tell me my errors and mark how can I improve, I appreciate it
And also, if you need any other file from the Stock ROM of the same device, do tell me here or DM at my insta: heartwastaken
Sorry for my bad English.
Thank you!!
Have a great Day
