Dear all,
This is my 1st post in XDA developers. And this is the first time I use Android system on a smart phone named Huawei Honor U8860. I learnt from websites and I know how to install ClockWorkMod. After installed stock rom from Huawei China (China site). I found out that I can't install any rom after that (always Update Failed). So I decided to format all the thing on my phone by using ClockWorkMod (/boot, /sdcard, etc...) and now my phone starts on blue screen and I realized that there is no image folder on the folder (the folder that you put recovery-v8.img file to setup ClockWorkMod). Now what do I have to do to bring back the recovery or someone please send me the image folder and guide me how to install rom for the phone since there is nothing left in my phone!
Regards,
Paul
Download orginal GB 2.3.6 from international Huawei site.
Make dload folder on root in memory card and put the UPDATE.APP (some ROMs also have UPDATE_CUST.APP, don't leave it out) inside the folder
Start up phone with volume up/down pressed while pressing power button.

I tried, and it seems while installing the package, the update failed, what's wrong with my phone? I did not have any problem when I upgraded my firmware before the time I use the stock rom from China
What error?
hi, i can help you
download this:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDEyODk=
install as a normal upgrade, than, installl any offycial rom and you have your honor fixed
This rom is the exactly rom that make my phone stuck in this situation, so do I have to install it back on my phone? Install the rom back to the one that harm me then apply this update?
@DeuXGod: Update Failed while installing firmware after unpacking
no, you have to install the file that i posted first, than install the rom! the file is the fix provided by the huawei for the failure updating of the original roms! flash the file first, and than, flash the rom!
edit: if not work, try this other : https://rapidshare.com/#!download|309p5|4238175827|UPDATE.rar|0 , unpack rar, make a dload folder in the sd card, put here the update app, and flash like a stock rom, later, install the official one
Thank you Paul! Now I find the solution for this, at first, if you installed the 2.3 Chinese rom that post on Huawei China (the first 2.3 rom posted on 2012-03-08)
It will prevent you from install ANY OTHER roms, so if you want to install another rom, there is an update patch for this one (the one that paul89... has posted above).
After that you can freely install any official/stock rom on Huawei Devices.
And for the users that format everything(/boot, /sdcard, /system, etc...) and your phone show up as a blue screen instead of pink screen when u press the power button (yeah there is no image folder in recovery partition).
Download the 2.3 stock rom from Huawei China (above)
Get your SD card out of the phone, using the USB/SD card converter tool to plug it to ur PC as an USB, copy the rom (dload folder in the zip) to the card.
After that, plugin your SD card to your phone, then press Volume + - and Power and the phone will go straight into upgrade firmware.
Then use the Paul89 patch that I've shown above, copy the dload folder to your SD, remember to delete the old one, use storage upgrade function of your Android to apply the patch. And now ... you can freely jailbreak the prison of stock Huawei China rom
And sorry for not linking your URL, this forum always ask me for the Image Verification even I Multi Quote ur replies
for nothig if i can, i help
SUTL?
Maybe a bit late, but in my experience, using SUTLR to flash ROMs (official/custom) works the best. It overwrites & updates everything (i.e. if you have CWM, it will be overwritten) and you will have the phone just like you got it from the dealer.
SUTLR? what is this tool?
-edit: googled, software update tool.. ok, but its only for official roms?
Dear rammy,
This is the first time I use android system on the phone and I found out that it's much complicated comparing with iPhone and I don't know any tool to use with it

You can use it for any ROM that comes in .nb0 format. Since most custom ROMs are in .zip format you can use it mostly for official ROMs. However, there are other custom ROMs (such as on andro-id.net) which come in the .nb0 format.

1. SUTL is quite simple to use. You can download it from the net (latest version is v1.8.2). Install it (works only with Windows) and you are ready to use the application.
2. To use SUTL to flash your ROM, boot your phone in download mode (i.e. where you have the message - Incoming Download Mode polling) when you boot.
3. Connect your phone via USB cable to your PC. The device will get recognized and Windows will attempt to open the folder (similar to when you insert a pen drive). You can close this window
4. Start SUTLR. Click on next and using the Browse button, navigate to the .nb0 file. The file must be named firmware.nb0. Click on next and the screen shows the progress of ROM installation. DO NOT DISCONNECT TILL COMPLETION
5. Once the ROM is installed, you need to remove the battery to come out of download mode. Restart the phone and the new ROM will start up.
Note: Please take backup of data and/or ROM (including recovery.img). SUTLR will replace everything (i.e. it will even unroot the phone if you flash an official ROM)
Hope this helps. I am also a beginner and this "guide" is based on other posts as well as my experience.
yes, but the isnt .NB0 roms for our u8860..and offycial rom are not .nb0, but .img..so how do you have installed offycial rom in your honor?

Download G-Apps in here
Put it on PC storage. (we will erase internal storage)
2. All Custom Rom are in 64bit so you need to download
G-Apps right file,

Hello. In your older tutorial, you also mention that we need to modify the boot.img. But in this one, it is taken out. I bought this phone recently and I don't want to update to nugat. All I want to do is to install twrp and get root privileges (I will probably just install magisk). So do I need to modify the boot.img or not? Why is it not included in this tutorial but the old one?
Thanks.

You can follow the old guide if you are in marshmallow OS ( 6.0.1 ). But please I don't hesitate you if you break your phone ( don't blame on in me if you're gone ). But please backup your phone before doing that risky thing. You can backup your phone by searching on google how to.
I don't include the modify boot.img in this guide because it will cause boot loop or soft brick. In nougat area modifying boot.img can brick your phone. So I don't put the old one to this new one.

Don't worry dude, I won't blame you if I brick my phone I have been doing this for many years now, don't worry, this is not my first modified android phone.
So I will not modify the boot.img, I will just unlock the bootlader and flash TWRP and Magisk. That is all I am going to do. I already downloaded all the tools necessary to revert back to stock and all. I think I am set. All I need is my new phone now, which hasn't arrived yet Thanks for the answers.

Hi everyone , :good:
As mentionned on the title , i am searching to download some stuff to root my Galaxy S2 device .
I am a beginner ; the things i've done before on my device is installing Lineage 14.1 ( Android version running on my phone is Android 7.1.2 )
I am actually trying to root my phone . I've tried to use somme apps , like Framaroot and Kingsroot but it didn't work .
Reading some topics and watching tutorials about that i've understood i need to use some insecure kernel with odin to bypass some restriction .... but i can't find this kernel .
I've tried to find a kernel who is specific to mine ( 3.0.101-lineage-g349a3e9 ) . I don't know how it is important to use the proper kernel so i prefer asking to you what kernel i can download for my device .
So , what kernel can i use for my device , and where can i find it ???
I'll be glad to have some answers and i hope i've been understood , i'm not fluent in english .:laugh:
( i let you some information here : GT-I9100 , Android 7.1.2 , OS : 14.1-201705-NIGHTLY-i91OO , Kernel 3:.0.101-lineage-g349a3e9 Build lineage_i9100userdebug 7.1.2 N2G470 f607bf3184 )
you only need to install the addon that comes in page for the root: s
https://download.lineageos.org/extras
you install it from recovery and ready
Thanks for the answer !
Actually i have already tried to install a file ( i had additional files of lineageROM like TWRP and ADDsu ARM ) like that by the recovery mode of my phone ( the file was Addsu-ARM ) and it did'nt work ( so i thought i need some special kernel )
I follow this steps : Recovery mode>apply update>sdcard0>download>AddsuARM
But maybe i've made a mistake . I've tried to do the same with the file you provided to me but it was the same ...
Any idea off that's going wrong ??
Thanks a lot , i'll keep continue to search how to install this file

Well, you should have flashed twrp 3. together with rom and you would have been fine to flash anything like root.zip.
Now i suppose you are on useless stock recovery.
You have to start again and flash kernel/recovery with odin and then upgrade.
Just want to remind to the need of repartioning to at least 1gb system/4gb data before flashing 14.1 rom and do not to forget to flash twrp recovery.
There is a thread/guide by saber and another one by djibe89 (in Q&A) how to update.

here my guide to get fast TWRP, repit(is what I use when I'm switching between SAMMY and AOKP roms) non use of computer or odin:
Downgrade to 6.x Rom, many of them are already integrated the recovery TWRP isorec some of them:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-team-octos-oct-m-t3313585
now in recovery currently TWRP
modify the PIT to have more system and data space, I upload the tools to change the PIT based on @Lanchon tool https://github.com/Lanchon/REPIT
1GB system 6GB data at the same time I also attach another one to return to the stock pit 0,5 system 2GB data:https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UgDOouH6n3Gz1uzadzKTBdsI-wOFmQ9T
put those 2 files in some folder or in the root of the microSD in TWRP we will install the one that says lanchon-repit-20170115-system = 1G-data = 6G + wipe-sdcard = max-preload = min + wipe-i9100 later it will give us an error is something normal if we install it from the microSD but it will have installed in the root / tmp of the internal memory, we install it from there and wait for 3-6 minutes to complete now make all wipes without external sdcard or scard1 finally install the desired rom together your gapps
Thanks for those answers !
I did flash the rom with odin and install lineage,Gapps, and TWRP ( but despite of your advice TriboDoP , i did not make a partition data because it was nothing to save on my phone .. maybe i have misunderstood and if you say i must make some partition , i'll do all the process again with the creation partition's part ) .
After that i ran the TWRP recovery mode , install the addsuARM file , reboot and then allow ADP and applications to acess the root by "options for developers" , root acess .
Now i can run the App2Sd app' ( really need to learn how it works:silly: ) .... but it is another story !
Abels2 thanks to have took the time to show me your alternative method , maybe it will be useful later !

Fine you managed to flash rom etc incl. root!
I just wonder how it worked without repartitioning.
But never mind if it works!
Just in case there is a need to increase the system partition and data partition aswell - all you have to do is to flash the lanchon pitfile.zip with your twrp recovery like @Abels2 said.

Hello! i have used the search tool to see if there is a custom recovery for my device but i am unable to find any. I found TB-X103F custom twrp but im unsure about trying it!.
I may be rather early as this tablet only recently came out.
Lenovo X 104F- 1 GB RAM
I own the same tablet , found also a solution to root it . Just to try other Custom ROMs you do not need to root it ....it is project TREBLE compatible ! This means that you can , with fastboot and ADB , install various GSI images )
ATTENTION : this method does not allow you to go back easily to the factory ROM !!! If you wish to do so, you need to root your Tab and make a full backup with one of the solutions described here in XDA ! Titanium or so .
I have installed Lineage 15 (Oreo 8) on my device and it runs without any problem ......Custom ROMs based on Pie make still some issues ! Be aware , that for one or other reason on my tablet i can install only ROM that is less than 1 GB after unzip !!!

Care to share any links?
Since Lenovo/Motorola added our E10 / TB-X104F to the recovery tool I decided to play around with hacking apart this awesome and terrible table. Long-story-short... you can unlock it using the normal FASTBOOT commands. A MAGISK modified BOOT.IMG does work which gave me full root access to the tablet. If people are interested I'll write up a guide... but a little bit of research on MAGISK and grabbing the Lenovo recovery tool will be your first step if starting from scratch.
Next step is getting a recovery image. I'm currently looking into getting this tablet into the TWRP BUILDER queue, but at the time of this writing their queue is full.
UPDATE: Just saw the TWRP BUILDER team has had everything on hold for over a month now. Guess I'll need to see about building this locally in my free time.

I can attest to this, I flashed the last Resurrection Remix Oreo GSI (12/21/18) and a (Magisk) rooted kernal I got from firmware (Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant). And so far everything seems to be working fine.
So I also flashed resurrection remix pie gsi... it works as well... only thing is it doesn't come with gapps... and without twrp i can't flash a gapps package. The resurrection remix I used was the final oreo build... zt has gapps pre-installed... you have to register the device with google because it is not certified... but after that everything seem good. One thing to mention is both the oreo and pie builds are "go edition" so some features are missing because of that... one in particular I noticed is notification access for 3rd party apps... go edition devices don't have that feature
Do either of you all have a step-by-step guide to rooting the device and installing either the Lineage or RR ROM?
Also, what works and what doesn't on the tablet afterwards?

Use Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant to repair your tablet (you wont actually repair tablet, just using to get firmware)
Follow steps to get to download the firmware (it will save to ProgramData folder, its hidden folder... in widows anyway)
Take the boot image (boot.img) from firmware folder and transfer to storage on tablet
Instal magisk manager and use to patch the boot image you transfered from computer
Transfer patched boot image back to computer
Download the latest oreo gsi for resurrection remix or lineage
Use fastboot to unlock bootloader
Use fast boot to flash gsi
Use fastboot to flash patched boot image
Google anything you need help with...
I used the resurrection remix oreo also because there is a build that has gapps pre-installed... the pie version works but doesn't have gapps pre-installed and without twrp I couldn't find a way to install them
After tablet boots up install magisk manager and you will be rooted
You will need to register your device with google because it will not be certified... that was a pain to get done even though the process is pretty straight forward
So far only "issues" I have encountered are not actually issues they are due to the fact that the resurrection remix gsi is android "go edition" I haventr tried lineage because I like the customization options that resurrection remix offers
Here is the magisk patched boot image I made so you can skip that part...
https://www.mediafire.com/download/x4d3xp8w3e8bw3g
Just to confirm the sequence of events (and thank you for the magisk-altered file):
1. Move magisk-modified boot image to the tablet.
2. Download latest version of Lineage OS or RR; move that file to the tablet as well
3. DL magisk manager APK and move that to the tablet as well
3. Boot the tablet into Bootloader and flash the new OS file first
fastboot flash recovery file.img
4. Then flash the boot.img altered by magisk
fastboot flash recovery boot.img
5. Reboot the tablet (will it load with the new ROM?)
6. Install magisk manager
Questions on the flashing:
A: Do you flash the .img and the ROM through fastboot shell command on your computer or do you install them in recovery mode?

So you want all files on the computer at first...
When you unlock bootloader it will wipe the tablet.
Flash the the gsi image then the magisk patched boot image using fastboot (there are instructions on xda regarding flashining gsi... you have to wipe system before flashing)
After tablet reboots to resurrection remix move the magisk manager apk to the tablet and install it... open magisk manager and you should have magisk installed giving you root and so much more.
Before you attempt this make sure you familiarize yourself with all the steps... search google/xda.
Also... I will say this... I tried to just root the tablet first but it wouldn't boot after so I tried to fix it using the Lenove tool and it failed... flashing the resurrection remix gsi with the patched boot image saved me from a lot of headache and wasted time... I would prefer if it was not a "go edition" rom but its still better than stock.
Sorry, more follow-up questions:
1. My bootloader is unlocked. It did not wipe the device (I used the "developer options" in the "Settings" menu to do it. Fastboot indicates the bootloader is unlocked. Do I need to redo unlocking the bootloader? For what it's worth, all my attempts to flash everything with my presumably unlocked bootloader have been unsuccessful.
2. Where did you find a .gsi of Lineage OS 15 for the Lenovo TB-X104F? I cannot find one.
Thanks

Make sure you fastboot flash unlock and fastboot flash unlock_critical. Just look an here for the links for lineage gsi. It flashes just fine and is super easy. I have resurrection remix on my 104f. I'm trying to compile twrp for it right now but hard to do with kids lol also if you use the lenovo tool you can download the recovery files which has boot recovery and all that in it and you can use magisk to patch the boot.ing and then copy that to the Lenovo tool and replace the stock boot img then recover it and you now have a working patched boot.img. I went through the same thing
Any Luck?
Any luck with that twrp? I'm willing to test it out...
Would like to be able to use the resurrection remix pie rom with gapps. So I can hopefully give some helpful feedback... one warning I am an amateur at anything beyond using fastboot and some adb commands, but I can learn pretty quick if i have the time to spend...
Another warning I have a sub-par windows pc to work with (and its the wife's) it prob can't run Linux in VM.
Disable "go edition" in Resurrection Remix Oreo
Using root explorer...
Navigate to /system
Copy build.prop to internal storage
Navigate to where you saved copy of build.prop
Edit build.prop that you copied to internal storage...
Find ro.config.low_ram=true and change to ro.config.low_ram=false
Save and exit file
Copy edited build.prop back to /system (make backup of original and overwrite with edited one)
Set permissions to owner read write (rw-------)
Navigate to /sbin/.magisk/mirror/system
Copy build.prop to internal storage
Navigate to where you saved copy of build.prop
Edit build.prop that you copied to internal storage...
Find ro.config.low_ram=true and change to ro.config.low_ram=false
Save and exit file
Copy edited build.prop back to /sbin/.magisk/mirror/system (make backup of original and overwrite with edited one)
Set permissions to owner read write (rw-------)
Reboot
This allowed me to set notification access again (its disabled in "go edition")
Hey guys, I'm trying to follow the steps in this thread to install Resurrection Remix Pie on the tablet using fastboot but whenever I try to flash a ROM to the system partition I get a (remote: size too large) error.. Does anyone know why this could be? I've tried using flags like -S, I've wiped the partitions and I don't know what else I can try. I have tried with Lineage, AOSiP and RR GSIs.
Thanks.
I cant get this to work.. What version of RR or Lineage OS works with tb-x104f?
up..................
I got the final version of rr oreo running fine... no luck with the latest rr pie unfortunately...
Anyone know if this is an A or AB device?
This guide will show you how to root your Nokia 4.2. This has been tested on TA-1157 and is working fine.
**Important** - If fastboot does not recognise your device In step 5, You need to download a driver. Here is the link: Download Driver (by Beebom)
Search up how to install custom driver and install it to the “Android” device.
Requirements:
Nokia 4.2 with unlocked bootloader
USB Cable
ADB/Fastboot.
Python
Your current ROM file
Internet.
Downloads:
ADB Installer (by Snoop05 on xda) : Download
Python : Download
Payload Dumper (vm03 on github): Download ( Click on code and select "download ZIP")
Magisk APK (on your phone) : Download APK ( Scroll down and you will find the APK file)
Code:
** I have only tested this on TA-1157. Other models may not work, but technically they should work.**
** Your warranty is now Void**
Step 1
Enable USB debugging on your phone. If you do not know how to do this, Search it up. It is easy.
Once that's enabled, Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop and open the command prompt (cmd) and type adb devices. It should show your device in the list.
Step 2
Locate the Python folder. To do this, simply type "python" in the start menu and click open file location. Then, Right click on "python.exe" and open properties. Then click open file location.
Once the folder opens, make sure to not close it.
Download the payload dumper.py which I have linked in the downloads section. Extract it and place the contents of the file in the Python folder.
Step 3
Download the ROM file. If you are using lineage OS on your Nokia 4.2, Download that file. If you are using the Stock rom, Download that. It should be a .zip file.
Extract the stuff from that file and take payload.bin and move it to the python folder.
Now, Open cmd in that directory by right clicking and opening cmd. Then, Type the following commands,
Code:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
then type,
Code:
python payload_dumper.py payload.bin
Once it is done extracting, Open the "output" folder. There you will find the "boot.img" file
Step 4
Use your USB cable or Google drive to transfer the "boot.img" to your phone. Once you have done that, Download the Magisk APK on your phone and install the app. (APK link in downloads section)
Once you have installed Magisk, open it and click "Install". Select the file from your phone and wait a few minutes for magisk to patch the "boot.img" file.
Once Magisk is finished patching, there will be a new file which magisk has created. Transfer the patched file to your computer via the USB cable or Google drive and make sure to rename it as "magisk_patched.img"
Step 5
You are almost done! Open CMD in the folder where you saved the "magisk_patched.img" and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then type
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Once done, Reboot your phone and Voila! Your phone is now rooted. Make sure to open the magisk app and check it.
If you need any help or you get any errors, post it down here below.

Personally, I do not recommend Kingroot as it is not very reliable and safe. Instead, you can follow this guide or follow other guides on youtube.
