I cant also connetct my phone to th pc, because my pc kanst find an "inf" file. My phone is unrooted and works with eui 5.9.020s.
Thanks
Are you trying to install via twrp?
Thanks for your reply. My windows PC does not recognize my device. It says that there is a 'inf-Data' missing. I tried everything but it does not properly see my device as an mtp- device. So I didn't tried it with trwp. Do I need to root for this?
You can't install a custom rom with stock recovery. You need to install twrp recovery to install one. Read this thread to install usb drivers etc and it tells you how to install twrp recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/protocol-backup-stock-rom-flash-stock-t3517151

Hello,
after putting the phone into a new case and into the original packing for a week, the phone seems to be bricked. I dont know what happend, maybe the buttons were pushed for some days.
Some facts:
B121 stock rom, rooted with TWRP by Cofface (chinese language)
Micro SD card = WORKING
ADB/Sideload = NOT WORKING
The phone always boots into TWRP, I can't flash the stock rom via fastboot because ADB is not working. I tried to install a custom rom via "install from zip" but i seems the rom requires B330 firmware to be installed first.
When I try to run the Sideload feature, it says "Starting ADB sideload feature" for a while, then some wild chinese error occurs and that's it.
I guess my only chance to repair this is to install a stock backup.
Can anybody please upload a backup to Mega? I will reward a working backup with a paypal gift
EDIT: Please guys, any advices would be appreciated.
Can I replace the .img files in a custom rom zip with the .img files from the stock firmware?
Thanks a lot
Hi,
My friend gave me this phone to update the rom, but I'm facing a problem. Device was rooted, recovery is installed, but some really old one - it doesn't even say what kind of recovery it is. So I read that I need to update to TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev.2. Tried flashing it with TWRP apk, but after choosing it and hitting install, it reboots and goes into old recovery and I can't install new TWRP. Then I tried installing it with this guide: http://rootoreviews.com/root-Lenovo-P780-install-twrp-custom-recovery , but I'm getting error: partition 'recovery' not support flash.
Lastly I tried with SP Flash Tools, but I can't install drivers. After holding red button 2 seconds and plugging cable there is no device unknown to install drivers or any kind of device looking like this phone.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks

Hi. I have read your message and you have to do this:
First Tutorial.
I see that you have installed allready one custom recovery.
1. Download TWRP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
2. After download putt the zip file to your root of your internal memory
3. Reboot to your current recovery and install twrp
4. After install power down your phone.
5. Start your phone again with all buttons pressed: Power + Volume up and Volume down.
6. Go to TWRP and do a full backup of your current firmware.
7. After full backup you can install any custom firmware you want.
8. I reccomend latest MIUI from AndreyZO, Mirror 9.
9. Good luck. If you have other questions write here.
Seccond Tutorial
1. Look in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
2. Download TWRP_v2.8.4.0 rev2 and read twice that tutorial
3. Go to this post and download SP Flash Tool: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_B98oK4DpK1S1l2bXRkTGxhVFk
4. Go to this post and download latest stock KITKAT and drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/p780-row-s226-flash-flashtool-t2909202
5. When you install the drivers in windows 8,10 you must disable driver signing. Look on youtube.
6. Now you must flash new system.
7. Unpack stock Kitkat firmware.
8. Unpack TWRP.
9. Go to firmware folder and delete recovery.img and replace with TWRP
10. Flash the firmware.
11. After flash boot at least once. If by any chance your phone is Lenovo P780 speed edition, after this flash will not start. This means that you need the latest preloader. Download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-chineese-speed-version-t2874161
12. After flash reboot in recovery by powering off the phone and start with all buttons pressed: Power + Volume up and Volume down.
13. Now you have last stock firmware with custom recovery installed. Go to TWRP and do a full backup of your current firmware.
14. After full backup you can install any custom firmware you want.
15. I reccomend latest MIUI from AndreyZO, Mirror 9.
16. Good luck. If you have other questions write here.
Tried to flash from this weird recovery, but I get error - look at pic.
I didnt flash this recovery, it must've been flashed by seller in my country. It looks like he way buying chinese versions and then flashing modified rom with polish language (very poorly translated).
Problem with sp flash tools is, I cant install usb driver. When Im in download mode I get the sound that usb device has been plugged in and after 1 second i get the unplugging sound. There is no unknown device in Device Manager, do I am not able to update the driver :/

That one is stock recovery. Proceed with the seccond tutorial.
One more question before I try to flash, I got CN verision, u answered to me in different thread:
stympy said:
Hi. Your layout is CN.
Look if you have custom recovery TWRP Installed.
If you have TWRP installed you can go to this post and install latest MIUI MINOVO.
Good luck.

Yes it is ok as base firmware.
After you flash and install TWRP, you can install any custom firmware.

Hi,
Sorry for delay, wasn't at home during weekend. Im flashing right now, but I had to use "Format all + download", cause only download showed error: "PMT changed for the ROM it must be download". Now I can flash the ROW version of custom rom or CN ?
Hmm I have still stock recovery not TWRP, although I replaced it with TWRP. File size matches perfectly...
Ok, worked but I flashed it with ROW version of recovery, making backup at the moment.
Got an error installing minovo_NOTE_6.12.1_ROW.zip, couldn't boot into recovery after so I decided to flash via SP Flash Tools one more time. After that booted into recovery and once more I have stock recovery xD I'm in serious WTF mode right now
Hmm I think I screwed something. After booting Kit Kat it says "Invalid imei" :/ I guess I will have to restore with MTK droid tools ? Can you guide me through that ?

Hi. Look on this location:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3174563
Send from my Lenovo P1 Vibe Pro with 3 Gb of RAM and 32 Gb of Internal Storage.
Sorry for annoying you once again. When I try to flash anything in TWRP I get error "unable to mount /system". I read that it could mean that system partition might have incorrect file system. What is the standard one for p780?
It happens when I flash the stock KK with TWRP recovery, then I want to flash Superuser. I need superuser to use MTKdroidtools to restore IMEI.
My biggest problem is when I boot the Stock KK after flashing and power OFF, I can't boot to TWRP recovery. Instead it's booting stock recovery. Only way to to boot to TWRP or any custom recovery (tried CWM) is only after fresh flashing with SPflashtools, but I can't flash superuser. If I format /system I can install superuser (no error unable to mount /system), but I have no system to boot to use MTKdroidtools.
This phone is driving me crazy....
UPDATE:
Ok i managed to restore everything, thanks for help. Can't flash custorm rom still but im making different thread.
My p9000 is currently on 20160810 and I'm unable to do the OTA update to 20170112, every time it downloads and starts to install it just stays on "rebooting" but does nothing.
On top of that I've tried to connect it up to a PC to flash it instead (was looking to try Nougart), I've managed to succesfully install the drivers but whatever PC I plug it into when powered off the PC recognises it for a few seconds and then disconnect again. So I have no device in device manager to try to play with the drivers, although as I mentioned I have already installed them sucessfully.
Should also mention I can't hard reset it with the power and voulume+ option either, as unable to enter recovery.
I've tried with Windows 7/8.1/10 all with the same result. The only difference is on the windows 7 machine it recognises it as the mtx65preloader device for a split second.
But to confuse things now more, on my windows 8.1 device the elephone is no longer recognised as a storage device, it shows as a connected device but there is no access to the drive.
The only way to go to the newer 2017 versions of the stock roms (nougat or marshmallow) is to use spflashtools. It is because elephone broke the recovery in 2016810. So when you try to update it will fail because the stock recovery is broken.
Have you disabled the driver signature in windows 10/ 8/ 7 before installing the mtk drivers? Else the installation will fail and you won't have the drivers installed at all.
I used this tutorial and it works for me on windows 10.

Drivers were all installed fine, but the strangness continued today but for the good. On the Windows 7 machine I managed to flash the Nougart rom and now all is working great. So after days of nothing working it just suddenly decide to co-operate.
with a "broken" recovery, isn't dangerous to do any update operations? if something get corrupted how can you resolve?

You simply can't do an ota update if the phone has a broken recovery. It won't install because it fails booting in the recovery. So nothing goes corrupted.
no I mean if the flash fails how you can recover without a working recovery mode?
Well mines been working without a problem for the past week, quite impressed with it.

Then try to Flash again. As far as I know the stock recovery can't restore backups. It is for installing ota updates and etc, I think. If you want to backup your ROM then flash a custom recovery with sp flashtools.
Can I flash again if the first flash fails? from where I do it , there is some kind of "download mode/fastboot"? Do I need to root the phone to flash a custom recovery?
thanks

I assume you have never installed a ROM/recovery before on your phone (with a mediatek soc). In that case, you flash your phone with a PC. You flash the phone with a program called "sp flashtools".
So the very first time you want to install a CUSTOM ROM/recovery. ---> use sp flashtools.
If you already have a custom recovery installed ----> boot the phone up in recovery (holding power button and volume +. If elephone logo appears, release power button but keep pressing volume +) and install custom ROM from there.
If you want to flash a STOCK rom ( nougat or marshmallow) -----> use sp flashtools.
You do not need a rooted phone for flashing a custom recovery.
For sp flashtools tutorials etc, look it up on XDA or just Google some spflashtool tutorials. The steps are the same for most mtk phones.
Would anyone help me get root on doogee bl 12000? This is a version without a pro so this is a different topic than this one.
No kingoroot or framaroot programs work.
I have flashtoola and rom for this phone. I tried using adb to upload files with the 12000 pro doodge but there was always some error.
I also tried to upload files via flashtoola and recovery. However, without success.
Root Doogee BL12000
Hallo there. I'm trying to root my Bl12000. I've got a TWRP from twrp builder. It works, but whatever zip file I'm trying to install I always get "failed to mount data", invalid argument. The twrp also tells me, that there's bo OS installed, but there is. Phone is working fine after reboot. SuperSu can't be installed. Full wipe is not possible, also "failed to mount" and so on.
any help ?
Tia, Chris
I think it's the encryption. Any ideas how to remove it?
Installed twrp via fastboot and sp flash tool, but I can't boot phone into it. Searched dozens of sites, no success. Flashed the twrp again with sp flash tool and according to sp it was successful. I tried several ways to boot the phone into it afterwards, no luck
My goal is to root this phone only. I'm not very experienced so if anyone could please give me a hand here and tell me where or what I'm doing wrong, that'd would be great and much appreciated. Thanks.
Ok. If I flash the twrp with Sp flash tool and type "fastboot reboot" on the adb console, sending the command while I hold vol+ and power-, the phone boots into the twrp. Next time it will be gone, so I have to flash it again. Noticed that, done.
But all this is taking me nowhere, because the encryption still prevents me from installing any zip file or format a partition. Yuck ?
Root Bl12000
Since the SuperSu method took me nowhere I decided to try Magisk. And.......HURRAY !!!!!!.......it worked.....for a moment. Booted the patched boot.img and got superuser. But with the first reboot I got stuck in bootloop. Tried again, in case I missed something, but same ****.
IT WORKS !!!!! My mistake was to assume, that Magisk works the same way as rooting with SuperSu does. So after rooting with Magisk I tried to install root apps as I was used to, but Magisk does not work that way.
Well, it'll take me awhile to figure this out ?
Why does an app keep coming back on my phone after I have done factory reset?

This Recovery is only supported for Doogee BL12000
You should have either PC or Laptop.
Make sure to charge your phone for at least 50%.
Download and install latest Doogee USB Drivers on your PC/Laptop [All Android USB Drivers]
Download the SP Flash Tool Software
VCOM driver: Download – Instal the VCOM Driver on your computer (still compatible with MT67xx phones)
Before flashing a custom recovery, you need to unlock the bootloader on Doogee BL12000
Take a full backup just in case if you need it later

when you install twrp formatting you can not do it, but immediately install magisk and reboot ...
After unlocking, I installed EU rom via adb, the installed unofficial TWRP 3.4.1b -0506 and rooted.
I used the phone without any probems for some days .
I then decided to get rid of MI software. After uninstalling a lot of software using App Uninstaller by Jumobile.
Also after that the phone worked well for an hour or two, but after a reboot the phone always goes into Fastboot.
I still can go into TWRP. When I try to install Curtana Global from external SD card, TWRP returns "Install zip Successful" but with an error message
"Failed to mount "/vendor" (Read-only file system)
I am very grateful for any help to unbrick my phone

Hello
Why not to flash a fastboot rom via Miflash? Phone will be from clean basis.
Test the new Miflashpro if you have time.
Good luck.
Note 9S not yet listed in Miflashpro; fastboot rom not found
thanks Lolo93939 for the input.
I found miflashpro under a com domain with the same name and installed the most recent version 4.3.1220.29. Selection of device does not include Redmi Not 9 S or Pro, accordingly moflashpro can not be used as of today for note 9S.
I then downloaded XIAOMIFlashTool from the com domain of the same name: miflash20191206.zip and installed
Downloaded latest fastboot rom from mifirm net / model / curtana.ttt which is V11.0.7.0.QJWMIXM.
unziped the rom 2 times until I had a folder with subfolder "Images" and shortened the folder name to V11.0.7.0.QJWMIXM and copied it under new folder c:XIAOMI
Executed XiaoMIFlash.exe, selected V11.0.7.0.QJWMIXM folder, selected "clean all" at bottom (to make sure the device is not locked again), then connected phone in Fastboot screen, refreshed in XiaoMiFlash and flashed.
Flash ended with error but phone seems to be up and running again.
brufi said:
Lolo93939, i would love too. I have searched for 3 hours now and did not find a functioning Miflash. I tried the 2 latest versions from xiaomiflash com but both give out an error "could not find flash script."
I find Stable roms for curtana but all links to fastboot roms end in 404 pages.
Could you point me to source of Miflash and a fastboot rom?
Thanks a lot!

It doesn't find your computer path for stating flashing.
Did you unzip the tgz and the tar file?
Place the unzipped result close to your computer C: directory and clean as much as possible the name.
That MUST work...

Thank you! I did as suggested.
all worked well, but got
error: not catch checkpoint (\$fastoot -s . *lock).flash is not done
still the phone is up and running again, so things seem to be good.

Yeah, had the "catch checkpoint" error, too.
Don't mind, phone is running without problems after that, also when you got this error.
Biggest difference I've noticed is that I had to restart the device manually after flashing (normally without this error, it would reboot automatically) ?
By the way, have you edited your posts a few times?
That makes it hard for other users to understand the whole problem and on that way maybe your posts can't help other users with same problem, so please don't edit/change whole postings ?
