hi
i have miui 8 lolipop rooted and twrp. now i want go to miui 8 marshmallow with official recovery zip file. what can i do to not locking bootloader again and get rooted ?
if i change boot.img from new downloaded rom with kitchen that will work ? or needs do more other works ?
thanks
Why rush to Marshmallow?
But, if you want to flash it, there is a thread on MIUI forum for Marshmallow Kate ( bootloader unlock, TWRP and root ).
My suggestion would be to wait for a while, and see how the situation with MM works out. No need to rush. It's not that you REALLY NEED Marshmallow in your life.
And whats wrong with MM?
my china dev 6.11.3 is stable and smooth, also inbuilt root
you need cofface or ZCX twrp to flash official ROMs without patch.
also if you have official unlocked BL then you can unlock it as many times you want/need on dev rom.
i suggest china dev, china firmware is better imo and I have tried all 4 variants for kenzo.
you can also flash it through miflash with fastboot ROM, thats how I do it, I got bootloop few times when flashing recovery and I used cofface twrp...
I have tried to flash every single rom in my oneplus x device but it does not supporting any one of them.....only cm14.0 and paranoid is supported by device. ....as cm14.0 has many bugs and its g apps are not working/installing ....and paranoid OS and g apps are successfully flashed but device is not starting up.. .it is just showing oneplus logo...
I didnt have any backup. ..
Someome please help me out of there.. ....
Almost every ROM you'll find now needs the updated bootloader to work. Install the stock OOS 2 (Lollipop) rom from Oneplus, you can download it from their site, and then update to OOS 3 and it will update the bootloader. Then you can unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and try other ROMS.

No i mean the exact device with another branding
for example
Blu vivo 5 (in US and latin america) = Gionee s6 (in nigeria ,india , and china) = Condor A55 Slim (algeria and tunisia) = walton primo *** (in bengladesh) = qmobile z12 (in Pakistan)
So it is the same device , but in every region it is commercialized under a specific branding, and because regions aren't same , you will find one deffirence which is the base band, so if you flash blu vivo 5 with indian gionee s6 firmware you will get "no network/ no sim cards" , that's the only deffirence
Blu vivo xl is gionee s plus , condor p8 ...check our facebook page we have roms for it ported by me

Should I delete the folders off the phone after flashing, or remove from the zip file? If I need to remove from a zip file, which one? I need to read a bit more.
Also, do you extract the contents of the patch zip file and put it in the rom zip or do I flash both?
Lastly, will it work if I flash from Lollipop stock directly to Nougat or do I need to use this guide to upgrade to Marshmallow first?

The easiest way is to flash the rom , and once it finishes flash the patch.
For advanced users , copy system and boot from patch and paste them in the rom ( replace when you ask to), then go to etc/ in the rom and delete firmware and mddb folders, and paste your firmware and mddb folder , now you have a rom for blu vivo 5 , flash only that rom and you(re ready to go ...
if you're on lollipop , you need to flash marshmallow firmware to besure that the rom works fine , i'm not surethat it will work directly on top of lollipop

Well. I've already followed this tutorial to get Marshmallow stock on my phone and will soon have your ViperOS installed. I have also flashed your TWRP. I'm just waiting on the ROM to download.
My internet has been acting up all day.
Wipe anything?
When flashing through TWRP, should I wipe anything from the device?
Should I wipe the Dalvik/Cache after flashing?
I'm currently making final changes.

For other ROM, I make a Factory Reset, flashed the ROM and rebooted into recovery again. Now I flashed the patch for VIVO 5

Thank you.
I bootloop after flashing.
After flashing the ROM, followed by the patch for my BLU Vivo 5, I reboot.
I am greeted with the BLU logo then it bootloops back after a black screen. I am currently reverting back to stock 6.0.
What am I doing wrong?
I flashed w/o the patch, still bootlooped.
Wiped after flashing, still bootloops.
The issue is obviously in the ROM itself..
i don't know the reason why , other roms worked very well ?, i mean only this bootlooped ?
this is weird ..are you sure you installed it the right way ? and what's the previous firmware version installed

After bootlooping, I tried to install Resurrection Remix. I bootlooped on that too.
I fixed it on RR though and the same issue was probably present here.
I used ES File Explorer to copy the mmdb and the firmware folders.
The issue was that the copied files were not complete or corrupted
After using a different root explorer and copying the files, I gone to TWRP and copied the files. Now I have the complete/non-corrupted mmdb and firmware folders.
I'm sure this fix works on ViperOS as well. It was 100% my error and not at all to do with you.
I assumed since I tried to use w/o flashing the patch that the ROM was messed up, but when vgeohn mentioned on your RR post that it bootloops w/o flashing the patch. I found that was the issue.
One question. I am currently running the out-of-date version of RR. Should I flash the updated ViperOS or keep RR? I want your recommendation.
And how do I update RR? Do I need to wipe then flash, or is there another way to flash? I prefer to not have to re-download all my apps.
i think you should stay on viper it is more fast and smooth
by the way here is a zip so you can flash mddb and firmware using twrp, just put your mddb and firmware in the etc folder of the zip
and flash it after every rom
here is the zip --> Download
if you can reapload it so people can use it directly

Does the mmdb and firmware folder only define the besebands or is my IMEI in there? I don't want that getting loose.
And that patch is universal for all of your roms that are recent? (RR, XOSP, Lineage, AOSP Extended)
And to upgrade do I have to wipe my apps or is there a way to keep them?
Bug report for RR (the original, but any updates):
Photoscan by google is not working. Just try, it's hard to explain
Google camera does not work if you are using a version that requires Android 7.0 or 7.1.
On google camera for Android 6.0, the video recording does not work at all. It crashes instantly.

After flashing the ROM, flash your patch.
You can just boot up and use your phone from there, but to get safetynet and some more gaaps, I personally flashed Gapps aroma with a config to not get useless apps. Then, I flashed the latest Magisk beta and a safetynet patch.

This is a TWRP flashable Stock ROM, made it for me and other testers in our Telegram Group as it'll be useful for testing ROMs but thought it might be useful to everyone so I'm posting this to XDA. Everything is Working as it should and don't forget to download my TWRP 3.1.1.0 ver before trying to flash this. I'll be regularly updating this when a new update comes out. As of now the details are as follows
Build Number : OMB27.43-45
Security Patch: 5 May 2018
Download Link: https://mega.nz/file/an40FbaZ#0vSDVURASsQkQCP1EAQ-wVxoF_jTnoHWMj4m6RgRbZM
Note: This is a TWRP backup. Place this in your SD Card, Internal Storage or USB but create the folder as following. "TWRP/BACKUPS/yourdeviceserialnumber/"
there extract and place the folder and you are good to go. You also need to flash preloader using fastboot. You should type "fastboot flash preloader preloader.img"
Don't forget to :good: if you liked this

No official lineageos for our device and also for most of the mtk devices. They need patches to get the lineageos working so the device individual devs itself manage the rom. In our device's case I'm the dev and lineageos already booted but having some bugs and I'll fix them. You can expect both nougat and oreo roms within a month or 2 that is stable.

It will never work for us as TWRP builder already has a barebone twrp in it and it just copies files from stock but the twrp it contains is built from android version 5.1.1. I already made twrp for K8 Plus wait a bit longer trying to fix encryption too. I mean no need to format data after installing twrp. so it is taking time
Hi I tried this rom but it is not working .. it is stuck in the booting and restarting always and I re installed original room.. bye the bye how can un install bloatwere from system??I have rooted my phone with majisk and installed Xposed module successfully.. the debloter app in majisk not working..and the root uninstlller apps also.. have any suggestions??:crying:
