I have Huawei GR5 (Kii-L05, as known Honor 5x, do not know Kiwi-??, anyone tells me which series of KiWi?),
I unlocked bootloader, and flashed in TWRP and Superuser and rooted it, activated the developer mode. And dialed code to open manufacturer mode and background debug.
Then tried to connect with QPST, but i failed with "unknown phone", I tried all the listed ports, no one works, just like the attached figure.
Somebody said tried custom ROM, Ok.
I flashed cm-13.0-20161227-UNOFFICIAL-kiwi (android 6.0), Cosmic-OS_kiwi_7.1.1_20170419_1.4-OFFICIAL (android 7.1) and lineage-14.1-20170614-nightly-kiwi-signed (android 7.1), they are all good os, but can not solve my problem.
I checked QSPT and usb drivers and keep them update.
But non of them are working.
I use "adb nodaemon server" to find port "5037", it says "can not bind "TCP5037", go to windows processor to find port 5037, no program is running this 5037.
I can not figure out where i am wrong. Please somebody help me this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried fastboot?!

What exactly is the problem?
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Thanks for your suggestion, i have not tried fastboot mode.
The problem is after rooted my phone, i tried to connect my phone with QPST, but QPST always says unknown phone, so i can not use explore, programming, etc..
By the way my phone system is mm6.01B350. somebody says it maybe the problem of stock rom, so i flashed custom rom, it does not work.
I will keep trying.
Thanks again.
i tried fastboot, at that mode, QPST can not read any port of my phone.
I used driverupdate software to update all my drivers again, there is no any question mark in device manager, please see the following snapped picture.
I did not know what is wrong of my process? I did same job with my ZTE Z826, QPST can read phone information, but for Huawei, i already tried it for almost a month, still can not read phone information with QPST, it always failed with 'unknown phone'.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion.
My last one is Marshmallow 6.01. I already did lots of works on it under rooted condition (rooted by TWRP and superuser, follow this links:https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190).
I tried to factory reset and wanted to roll back to Lollipop 5.0, but failed, looks like after update, can not roll back.
I do not have original stock rom of Lollipop 5.0.
I will keep trying until finding the way to connect with QPST.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your caring my question.

I can help you get rooted. First you will need to install drivers on your PC so your device can communicate with the root program. Then try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43163569&postcount=7
If that dont work, let me know. You can always use MTK Droid Tools and SP flash tool to pull your stock recovery and port it into a custom recovery that will allow you to flash a simple root.zip
Hope this helps!

Try using this, it installs drivers for many different phones, it may not be the actual manufacturers drivers for your specific device but it will help get your phone talking to your PC:
http://www.snappea.com/
Also - Make sure you are going into settings and turning USB debugging on. You can usually find this under Settings > Developer Options.

Again, thanks Klown, but no joy, i tried serveral times and after 15 - 20 mins of "fobulating" (is that even a real word ) my phone it said "failed to processs phones data" i tried restarting both devices etc and a couple of other thing suggested but no joy.

Go here and download MTK Droid Tools from first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
Run the program and connect your phone to PC, this tool will tell you lots of info about your phone but the main function is to possibly back up your stock firmware (This is good to have if you plan on trying to flash anything to the phone, this way you will have your stock files to fall back on in case something you flash to the phone does not work.) Once you have MTK Droid Tools running and phone connected, what does it say next to Hardware on the phone info tab please?
I am not sure off top of my head about updating to a higher version of Android but this back up step is REALLY important. It is hard if not impossible to find stock firmware floating around on the net for these chinese clone devices. IF you have stock files backed up you can flash almost anything you want knowing you have a way to restore your phone to working order. IF you look around here on XDA you will see tons of posts by people looking for the stock firmware for their clone phone after soft bricking it playing around. Sadly there is not much help for them unless they find someone with the EXACT same phone and are willing to share their back up (if the next person made one theirselves that is!)

even though my pc now recognises the fact that tere is a spreadtrum phone in my devices list and i managed to root it ok, when i load up mtk droid tools it says "the device isn't revealed, connect or reconnect a cable"
needless to say i tried reconnecting and it didn't change i downloaded the adb drivers from the link under the mtk link but have no idea what to do with them,
appologies for my ignorance in all of this, but like i said in my first post, i have no idea what i'm doing with all this, thanks

Dear Lenovo Support,
I regret to say that unfortunately I had an opportunity to update the Android version of my phone Lenovo P780 from Android 4.2.2(stock version) to Android 4.4 Kit-Kat ver. latest released by your good Company, that I have downloaded directly from the Integrated Lenovo system update over Air/Wi-Fi.
Then, just right after update installation and phone restart I immediately started experiencing worst ever problem with Voice quality transmission while talking on the phone with any of subscribers/friends/colleagues.
Nobody can hear my voice at all or hears rustling with constant voice interruptions. Very poor voice quality transmission indeed.
You are kindly requested to support my case and provide qualified instructions on how to fix this problem and avoid farther problems, as it is impossible to use the phone anymore while such problems exists.
Thanking you in advance for your kind assistance which is highly appreciated and hoping to receive your soonest reply,
Regards,
Alexander Kozubay

Look in post How about some modems in the section Vibe.
Root your phone and try change modems from there. Backup first.
Reply
Dear stympy,
Thank you very much for replying to this matter.
If I get you right, this is distinctively a problem with modem, whereas the version of the modem included in general update to Kit-Kat version for users worldwide that Chinese developers Lenovo published is not compatible to work with all countries cellular network providers, particularly in my country - Ukraine and the only solution for fixing the problem is to find a compatible/proper firmware of the modem.
Please confirm.
Since, my Lenovo P780 is fixed to stock version and never been rooted before, can you please advise if root is compulsory and provide the link with step-by step guide in order to root the phone if it is compulsory to change the modem version and the link with modem versions.
Also, please advise if I will need to change for a custom rom in case of modem change etc.

Radiomodule
Good day stympy,
Sorry for not replying for a long time. Getting back to the issue where nothing changed to a good side and I still experience problems when nobody hears me properly as if I am living underground in the tunnel and the Wi-Fi signal by the way is not stable.
My Lenovo P780 has the next firmvware:
1. Firmware ver. P780_ROW_S223, 2014/09/01 - last one updated over air recently
2. Firmware of radio module: P780.ROW.V104, 2014/09/01
Not sure whether the phone was rooted before, as I got it new device but from the seller-guy who flashed the phone.
Do I have a chinese or european version ?>
Please advise what are my next actions to normalise the work of the device.
Thanks in advance for your support

Hi. You have the ROW version , thats mean: Rest Of the Worl, not Chinese.
To check if your phone has root, can download any root checker from market and see.
The next step is to change modem software you must root your phone and install custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.
After root and custom recovery go to my post: How about some modems and you will find there alot of modems for KK. That modems you must use. Not others. They are located in folder:Modems for S221 LATEST UPDATE. For Europe i recomend: modem_P780_V101_Life_Vibe.zip
Your firmware is the last OTA for sure.
Good Luck.
Modem change
Thanks for your clear explanations stympy. For sure will try out today, evening time.
Before I proceed can you please advise
1. How to make proper backup.
2. Is there a way to test the quality and level of the signal after modem change procedure to see and check if the level of transmission of signal is high enough to be sure that this modem firmware suits me best.
Thanks a lot in advance
Will revert with results in any case.

Hi.
1.The proper backup for me is with custom recovery TWRP. You can allso backup the 2 folders(system/etc/mddb and firmware) with the modem software with ZIPME fom Google Magazin.
2. The quality and level of signal after modem change is to keep monitoring you phone signal and speak. After this you will see if signal is crushing and the one who you talk is hearing you and revert !

If its so urgent... try this one !
****, I am still stuck on with USB driver Installation.
The files you have provided, I have successfully downloaded them.
When I connect the device to my laptop, the PC sees the device and asks for a driver, I have installed these drivers you provided but my laptop does not recognize them as compatible drivers saying that device is not recognised, I am stuck and I think I can not move any further because of this
Zero results
As the result of my many hours attempts yesterday to make the phone working and recognized by the PC properly lead to zero results.
The problem with the driver. The PC detects the connected device asks for a driver, installed the drivers you have provided stympy. But Lenovo P780 icon doesn't appear in the list of devices in My Computer or Explorer or when appears after Clicking on it, does not show the content at all. Empty list.
Owning many different phones, I neved had such a problem before. All devices after short drivers installation were always recognizable at first connection.
Strange and very dissapointing.

Hi. The computer with windows installed recognize this piece of hardware for just a second in device manager. I have windows 7 installed and when i connect the phone some autorun starts with the driver. Your phone does that ?
Attempts for phone root with intention to change the modem
Dear stympy and the rest of to whom it may concern,
Writing again to submit my dissapointment that has no positivie results at all. Not able to root, install TWRP or any other ROM Manager software etc...nothing!
Would like to specify that I have a Lenovo P780 device with 4 GB memory and most likely a device for sale on Chinese markets as labels on the cover box of the phone and stickers under the back cover are in Chinese language.
Although, the device I bought from a seller as new device was upgraded to a firmware he said, in fact I do update my firmware over air which is designated for the "Rest of the World" (as per Settings info.).
I go through the step-by-step guide written by stympy and I am stuck with SP Flash Tools software.. I tried using the SP Flash Tools as per the guide while the phone is in switched on and off conditions but the utility does nothing to the phone, as if it the phone is not recognized by SP Flash Tools.
When I connect the phone to the PC in the switched off condition I get the message thatn an as USB device not recognized asking for a driver (I browse to the drivers folder indicating the correct driver initially it was recognized and now not anymore) but when I Connect the phone to the PC in the switched on condition then phone is fine, immediately get recognized and I get access to the Internal Memory and SD Card content.
Very, very strange and ridiculous behaviour.
Same problem actuall to other PC connected with my Lenovo P780.
I wonder if there is another way to root my phone and change modem firmware. Please keep me advised accordingly,
Thanks a lot for your support

Dear stympy and the rest of to whom it may concern,
Writing again to submit my dissapointment that has no positivie results at all. Not able to root, install TWRP or any other ROM Manager software etc...nothing!
Would like to specify that I have a Lenovo P780 device with 4 GB memory and most likely a device for sale on Chinese markets as labels on the cover box of the phone and stickers under the back cover are in Chinese language.

Hi. Lets try this trick :
1. Look on the internet for this app called 1 Mobile Market apk
2. Download and install.
3. There you will find alot of chinese app for rooting.
4. Install and try to root your phone.
5. If you succeed instal Mobileuncle Tool and flash TWRP recovery from there.
6. After this you can flash modems
7. Good luck.
8. Waiting for feedback.

SUCCEEDED!!!
I am back with good news. I managed, I managed!!!! Yeeehaaaa!!!!
I managed to flash TWRP and root by the method you have described above stympy.
Now, what I was doing wrong is that upon running SP Flash Tools software I was connecting the phone with USB Cable before pressing the Download Not Firmware upgrade button and NOT AFTER as advised (1) and my second fault is that I used only one scatter file coming together with TWRP and recovery.img.
I have succeeded flashing with the alternative scatter files for 4 GB version.
Check with Root checker - device rooted!!
Now, going further I have put the model firmware as "modem_P780_V23_S226_ROW" on the internal memory of the phone and will try to install it via TWRP manager.
Please advise if this firmware will not work well or work as bad as previous one, Do i just install another modem firmware on top of the installed one and that is it ?
Thanks

Hi. Yes you are right. Flash modem reboot see if works, if dont work reflash other so on and on and on.. When you flash new modem will overite the old modem.
Good Luck, and waiting for feedback.
Modem Firmware change success
Dear stympy,
Once again writing my feedback to confirm success in modem firmware flashing, changing to "modem_P780_V23_S226_ROW". (looks to be latest one available to download and with hopes that most corrected version)
From now on the voice quality is better enough than before, the voice quality is much clearer and higher, but still not smooth enough.
During the tel.conversations on the other line, the person who I am talking to hears my speech with interruptions from time to time.
Do you think I still need to give another tries for alternative firmware ?
Please provide again the link to the folder with modem firmwares stored and also advise which firmware best suits my case.
Thanks

Hi. You could try one more who i think is the same as v23. The modem from LiFe rom must do the job. I used both and have no problems.
Good Luck.
I will for sure try the firmware you have advised above.
Moreover, I proceed to receive an OTA Updates for the Android system, but taking into account the last issue with modem, understanding that it will not do any good only harm. What do you think about it ?

I am currently in communication with Alcatel's U.S. support (which may be outsourced, who knows?), and they have made it clear there is no OTU (OneTouchUpdate) available for the AT&T Alcatel Allura 5056O device. Their current advice is limited to performing a factory reset via the GUI, which of course isn't possible for a softbricked phone.
This means that as of this writing, there is no known way to restore this device from a softbrick.
I am explaining carefully the issue I and and a number of others here on XDA have experienced with this phone to Support, specifically asking for some method to reload the stock ROM, and will report any constructive suggestions they may have. But the OTU I made available at:
https://www.multcloud.com/share/0377ab37-15ed-4bcd-be3b-dbe8c7eb2cc8
...that lists the 5056 simply will not work on the 5056O.
Received this from the Contact Center:
The firmware is information that would only be available at the repair center. We would recommend you to perform a factory reset...

Click to collapse
Still trying, but it isn't looking very good for those of us with softbricked 5056Os...
Yup I wanted to root the phone, so I did but then it bootlooped and it's bricked lol.
Haven't heard anything else from Alcatel's Customer "Support," so I've resent my questions to see if I can get some answers out of someone. There are enough of us affected by this issue that I'm not going to let them off quite so easily...
More bad news; the most recent reply from Alcatel CS:
At this moment it would be to send in the device into the repair center to get it repaired for you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Clearly they are going to be less than helpful for those of us with the 5056O. Unless some kind soul here who has this phone is willing to image and post a copy of the Allura ROM, or someone knows a tech working for Alcatel who can supply the ROM, those of us with soft-bricked phones are completely screwed.
Am getting same info from Twitter CS...the ROM is only available inside their repair center.
(*sigh*) So unless someone else manages to liberate this device's ROM, guess we all might as well throw the devices in a drawer and move along. Just remember that the next time you're phone shopping, and bypass the Alcatel/TCL offerings.
Friends here I leave a link for you to download a copy I made to the Alcatel Allura 5056O, I did it through the flashfire application, I think if some advanced developer could work it, it would solve the problem we have. Https://mega.nz/#!01NDVR5K!rPPYEd87ndmg5Q9jmQ3qWjm1qGD3Rm7ge83yIsezSSQ

That is excellent, thank you very much!
Now let me make sure I understand; is this a copy of a softbricked ROM, or a functional one? Is it rooted or non-rooted?

It is a copy of a functional rom, has root access and has modifications that I did before the device would damage me, but I have all my data in it.

So, if we can figure out how the Alcatel OTUs push the ROM to the phone, we might be able to get a softbricked phone to the point of performing a system reset...

The problem with my phone is that I made a modification to the build prop and upon restart I just showed the logo and then black screen, connect it to the adb and try to carry a custom recovery of a 6040A alcatel I had before and the result was that too Delete the recovery stock, now the phone when I connect it to adb appears to me as unauthorized, so I have not been able to repair it

Keep trying. I've noticed that my 5056O does the same thing, but if I keep trying (restarting the phone, plugging in-and-out, etc.) I can eventually get adb devices to show it as "device" at which point I can acquire a shell, which can be SU'd.
Not guaranteeing this will work for you, but it has worked for me quite a few times so far. Beginning to think this phone is just magic, not science.
Just a quick bump to remind folks there are a bunch of soft-bricked 5056O phones out here in desperate search for a ROM...
Another bump to see if anyone has additional information on 5056O ROMs...hope springs eternal!
Still nothing, eh?
Hoping for someone with info on how to unbrick an Alcatel OneTouch Allura (5056O) - a stock ROM and means for recovery would be great!
Dear friends, after suffering for more than a year with my damaged phone, find a solution, I hope you can also solve it.
Here is a guide and the link to download the tool.
In the completely off phone will press the volume up and down keys at the same time and connect it to the pc so enter the download mode
1) Download the tool from this link https://mega.nz/#!NpkhnCoT!q5LxwJdWfIjcIY2tl99eGbhvRtrSY8bk-GQcDji7Rhs
2) Then unzip it install it on the pc
3) They execute it and they place the user and the password that he left in the attached note, when the update comes out they tell him not to
4) They look for the model of the team and they give to the option of flash and enjoy the magic
The only bad thing is that in the process the network release is lost

Um, last time I checked, the 5056O didn't have available ROMs outside AT&T. Is this the phone you repaired?
Also, latest version of SUGAR I found is v11.6.9R, which I placed in the MultCloud shared folder at https://www.multcloud.com/share/0377ab37-15ed-4bcd-be3b-dbe8c7eb2cc8 in the Misc folder. Same credentials as listed in the older README:

My fault being unfamiliar with this stuff, but can you explain what was lost?
Oh, and I don't suppose this got you any closer to installing a custom recovery to root the phone?
does anyone have a link to the stock firmware? for an ALcatel onetouch Allura 5056O, I've been browsing the thread and seen none of the links provided for the stock firmware are all dead.
Better late than never: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=10620683726822061932
I had hat on a HDD from a while back and never had a way to use it until I found edl. I'm currently flashing it now and I have no idea if it's gonna work or not. I don't think it will but who knows.
Also, its probably gonna take a few days or more to flash...
Edit: It failed at some point just a few hours in. Maybe it was just my device because I have disassembled it in the past looking for test points. I wish everyone else good luck.
hello folks.
i had nothing to do so i made a QFIL flashable system image of a Marshmallow VibeUI backup, which was released for Latin Amerians (dunno what lenovo software engineers were smoking when they decieded to keep MM from the rest of the world ).
So, this ROM (or rather backup) is ported by me as a qfil flashable file for A6020a41 phones, which are popular for not having unlockable bootloaders.
since this rom is official, it passes dm-verity and boots fine on locked BLs.
this package only flashes system.img and boot.img, so no device specific files are flashed. it worked fine on my SD415 device with locked BL.
link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=283731
HOW TO FLASH:
1) wipe data from recovery (twrp or stock, doesn't matter). Your internal might be wiped too.
2) install revelant drivers (hint: look for them on "return to stock" thread or at the link at the bottom of this post).
3) flash the package (same procedure when recovering stock rom)
and don't blame me if your phone or your kitten dies because of this rom (i'm gonna laugh at you if you do so), i made this just because SD616 users can't flash custom roms, despite me having SD415 w/ unlocked bootloader. HAVE FUN!!!
Note: if you have SD415 variant then proceed to here
Notes:
1. VoLTE appears to be not working, this depends on whether lenovo decides to update it for lat. america.
2. If you want to make a qfil flashable rom, then pm me for a template (or just replace system and boot images in this zip).
Normal things to expect:
1) device name change to a6020l36
2) (probably) being banned from play services. (important: no dev is responsible for a6020 being banned. Do not waste your time blaming, not only on this thread but on the whole K5(Plus) forum).
oh, and before i forget, remember to choose .mbn file accordingly to your SoC.
msm8929 -> SD415
msm8939 -> SD616

Hi.
I flashed this on my a6020a41 sd415. Device chagned name to a4020a36 and I had problem with network. Maybe because my device is single sim?

Device name change is normal. But network issue is strange... I didn't have that. Flash stock using qfil to revert, I'll look into it later.
Did you format the data before flashing? Seems i forgot to include that point in the OP. Silly me...
Sorry for that.
Have a nice weekend.

Bricked anphone using this method its a A6020a41 now when trying to flash something back on it it says sahara fail.(probably because of device model change what to do?)
Is it possible modify some files on stock a6020a41 file to continue flashing when it sees a6020l36?

This rom doesn't have anything bootloader-related, so your sahara error is likely a driver issue. The model change is only seen in the system itself, but nothing on the hardware level is changed. So your a41 is still an a41.
There is a "back to stock" thread in the k5 plus forum, if you need to flash stock rom. Btw, that guide can be used to flash this vibeui port, the only difference is you need to change stock rom zip to vibeui port. The drivers part is important.

Forgot to say, you might need to disable driver signature check. Just open cmd as admin and type
Code:

To revert;

I would not use a vm if i was you. The risk is big if a connection suddenly drops.
In my AFH repo there are drivers which I'm able to confirm working.
There's also a tool that removes unused usb drivers from windows, can't remember it's name. Search for it.
It is possible that you might have a problem I've never experienced before,

Is there any way to force dload mode or edl mode because i cant see whats happening because my phone is dead(no vibration, no screen just red led i upper right corner) but it gets recognised as qualcom hs usb qdloader 9008 when i connect it.
Anyhow tried all versions of qfil and roms. Any more ideas?

What is your phone's SoC and what exactly did you flash on it? So that i can tell if its a hardbrick.
What windows are you running? I haven't got any probs on win7.
I assume you have tried the drivers i told you to use.
There is a program called Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant. It's foolproof, and installs any driver it needs (afaik). "Repair" your phone through there. Then start flashing roms afresh.

Hello there!
I am running BLA-AL00 10.0.0.180(C00E181R1P4patch01).
Recently I wanted to downgrade to EMUI 9 to unlock the bootloader (I have the code) and here are my failed attempts:
1.Downgrade via dload with OTG
2.Use HiSuite 'System Repair', which popped up with 'No available fix for your device' (btw actually I managed to use this method before, but Huawei seems to block this)
3.Cheat HiSuite to downgrade with Firmware Finder's DNS update (see: link, ended up with ‘failed to install‘, I think this didn't passed verification)
So...are there any other possible ways to downgrade? Thanks a lot!

You don't need to "cheat" hisuite. Just launch hisuite, connect your phone via usb cable, and click on update button. Hisuite will scan for updates and there should be a tab saying previous versions. Just click on it and you should be able to downgrade. Using the dload method and "cheating" hisuite is a great example on how to brick your phone as thats how I managed to brick my huawei(still trying to unbrick). Also what Hisuite "System repair". I only know system recovery or are you referring to that?

Yes, I managed to downgrade via the normal method...
I thought it won't be OK to use this way... because I previously found the 'previous version' tab gone...(about one year ago)
And yes, I mean system recovery. My HiSuite is in Chinese so I just give it a direct translation lol.
Also I often use eRecovery to unbrick, maybe try it out? (I don't know whether international versions have this function or not...)
Problem solved! Thanks a lot!

I got the lineage GSI rom from my friend, I actually doesn't know it's source, seems phh-treble.
NFC doesn't work, and this rom also has a potential storage problem. (actually I don't know whether it is caused by me or not) Just a week ago the rom broke my data partition and I have to reset. Now I have returned to EMUI. The rom is vanilla, and device model doesn't show probably. GAPPS can be installed via TWRP but device model, I tried, can't be modified without Magisk. The rom contains su as well.
If you truly want it, I can upload it to Gdrive. Now I want to downgrade to EMUI 8 and then I can use Openkirin roms, or search for another fit rom.
