Hey guys,
I've had a total of 4 android smartphones during the last years, and I did root all of them and even install diferent ROM's, but on this phone (Honor 7) was kinda diferent.
The root process is way more complex than all the other androids I did root (simply flash a .zip file...) so I've been post-poning this task over and over..
Finally yesterday I gained courage to try out rooting my phone, and while attempting to root my Honor 7, after flashing SuperSU from TWRP, my phone no longer booted.
Stressed as I was, I just told to myself "f*ck it" and formatted the system and I didn't care much if there was a fix without needing to format the system. (but then I realised that I could not find any .img ROM files to flash from TWRP recovery, so basically I did my actions wrong once again)
I followed the tutorial from guidebeats.com which talks about rooting EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0 (I cant post links)
Basically this is the story:
While unlocking the bootloader, even though, the tutorial said the phone would reboot itself after typing "flashboot oem unlock 1234934829" I did a hard reboot (or reset?) holding (VOL+) + Power button and I have the feeling that the bootloader unlock was not 100% done, even if it said it was unlocked. (Phone was working perfectly fine there)
Then I flashed SuperSU, and I could no longer boot. After powering up my phone, after the first splashscreen, the screen would only turn black.
What (I think) I need to now is remove the TWRP recovery, and use the stock one and attempt to install an "update" using (Vol+) + (Vol-) + Power. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
But now there's some issues I got that I'd like some help with:
1- How can I get back to the stock recovery? (NOTE: I currently got no OS installed on my Honor 7, since I formated it)
2- Will I need to lock and unlock my bootloader again (if I want to 'fix' the bootloader unlock?)
3- Where can I get official Honor 7 stock ROM? (would be awesome if there was already the Android 6 stock rom for a clean install)
4- What are the steps on this tool (Honor 7 Multi-Tool) to root my phone?
I need my Honor 7 asap
Sorry for the long post, It's my first time doing a more advanced root and I have all these questions.
Thank you very much for any kind help!

As you are already familiar with adb and other stuff so will write a short post for you.
To download latest firmware, head to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...tock-firmware-packages-honor-7-t3448747/page1
Google, download and install Huawei update extractor and open UPDATE.APP in it (obtained after extracting firmware).
You can see all the images. Just extract recovery and boot to platform-tools folder.
Meantime, do the unlocking command again, with
Fastboot OEM unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Followed by fastboot reboot
And press and hold the vol down button again until you reboot in bootloader.
Flash the recovery and boot you extracted using
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
(I got a habit of extracting and flashing system and Cust using
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash Cust Cust.img
But they are not necessary)
Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again).
Please do report back if it comes to life.
To root, just flash twrp and then use SuperSU 2.62 (no other version) and update it later using play store.

Hey!
Thank you alot for your reply.
From the link you sent about the firmwares, there are alot of Builds for the L01 (EU) model. Can I simply use the latest from the list or I gotta install 1 by 1 (from older to newer)?
Also, the bootloader unlock thing, is it ok if I wait to do it until I install the stock ROM again? Because I think I don't have the code anymore (Also don't know about IMEI)
Other thing, yesterday before bricking my phone, I tried to re-unlock the bootloader as you said above, but it didnt let me because "it was already unlocked".
I really have no idea if it's 100% unlocked or not.
important thing!
With those ROM's, I still have the right to receive official OTA updates from the HiCare app right?
Thank you again

Just use B380 as it's the latest full firmware available there.
Unlocking bootloader again was just a precautionary measure (proceed without it and if it is not 100% unlocked and if something goes wrong, we can troubleshoot later, which imo, won't happen)
And yep, if you keep the firmware as it is, but if you flash twrp and root, you will still see the update available in Hicare but will have to install stock recovery again before upgrading. (Nothing else is needed as SuperSU 2.62 gives a systemless root so you only need to flash back stock recovery for an update)
I am not against honor-tool bit it's best to do things manually as it makes you learn stuff and is easy to troubleshoot if something is amiss.

Alright, btw, about the thing you said
"Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again)."
I gotta do that myself with an "update.app" file or what?
Sorry, I missed that part
Cheers!

You have to make a dload folder in SD card and copy UPDATE.APP to that folder.
Then just turn off the phone, press and hold power + vol up + vol down until phone boots.
Let go of power but keep others two pressed for 5, 6 sec more. Your phone will boot into recovery and start installing UPDATE.APP
It likes to get stuck at 5% (most reports) but sometimes, somewhere else. If its stuck for 15 minutes on a particular percentage, just press and hold the above three buttons again using the same process.
Multiple tries make it work...

Hey man!
Good news, my phone is alive and root is done.
The problem was on the SuperSU that I flashed, it was version 2.71, instead of the one you said » version 2.62 «
I cant thank you enough!! Can I pay you a coffee?
Thank you!

That's great... Enjoy your phone and as for coffee, well, let's say, you owe me one and we will leave it at that
Better yet, you can search DigiGoon and pay him for the coffee, he taught me what I told you.
You can find him somewhere in this thread

Hello
How did you format your phone?
I'm still struggling with going back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 since there is no rollback file available. (PLK-AL10, B396) Maybe formatting and installing the old rom could be a solution, like in your case?

Hello.
Do you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery? You can format your phone from TWRP recovery.
I think the only option for you is to get the old ROM img and flash it (starting from 0)
You can dirty-flash (Flash a different ROM with same android version as yours, e.g: flashing custom android 5 ROM over your stock android 5 ROM without factory resetting your phone) but I dont think you can do that from Android 6 to 5.

Yes I have unlocked bootloader and currently not twrp but I can flash it at any time.
The last two paragraphs you wrote are different solutions or the last one is a more detailed explanation of the previous?
I have android 6 so the later method won't work as you said.
But formatting it and flashing a stock android 5 rom - is it that simple? Nobody here suggested this before, however I have been asking for months.
All the phones are empty when they leave the assembly line.
How did you flash the new rom to your formatted phone? Extracted update.app and flashed each file with fastboot? Any issues you faced?

From my last 2 paragraphs, the first was a solution, the second was an impossible alternative that I thought it would work.
My issue was that I had a custom recovery but I had no ROM installed, so I had to install the stock recovery and boot (extracting from update.app) and flashing it via fastboot, to afterwards force the update with 3-button method.
-----
What you'll need to do is:
- Flash TWRP
- Wype system, data, cache.. (so that you completely delete your current ROM)
- Extract recovery.img and boot.img from an update.app of an Android 5 ROM you'd like to have (Official ROM for your device model)
- Flash them via fastboot (You'll go back to stock recovery again)
- Shutdown your device
- Create a folder named "dload" on your sdcard and put UPDATE.APP file in it.
- Reboot
- Do the 3-Button update ([Vol+] + [Vol-] + Power)
- If it works, it will auto install
(- If it gets stuck on 5% for over 5/10min, force reboot pressing [Vol+] + Power) and try again the installation
- After installing it will boot normally (first boot takes a while)
NOTE: I'd recommend creading the dload folder before wiping the ROM, because usb didnt work for me afterwards. (It would still work if I was on recovery tho)
>> Remember to make a full system backup before wiping aswell, dont be stupid like me xD (thats why I had to full wipe my system after soft-brick)
Im answering based on what I did and was explained here to me

Hi again,
I'm doing this OS installation now. It starts fine but stucks at 90%, (I'm trying to install the latest stock ROM which can be downloaded from Huawei site, B220 or221). Did you have the same issue? I waited more than half an hour at 90% but did not go on.

Maybe formatting, Flash stock Android 5 recovery using Honor multitool , and then Flash a Android 5 firmware
Not sure it Will Work without rollback..
Finally, after 2 months of struggling I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 without a rollback file.
Here is what I did:
0. Download a full ROM you want to install
1. Backup of the current system with Hisuite (everything. Apps, media, contacts, call log, etc.)
2. Flash TWRP recovery with fastboot (start phone in fastboot mode)
3. Wipe (and format!) everything you can with TWRP
4. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from update.app of the new ROM with Huawei Update Extractor
5. Flash boot.img and recovery.img with fastboot.
6. Copy update app to dload folder on SD card, insert into the phone.
7. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
8. The system will be installed from SD card. I had no issues with the installation. First I did not format the phone (just wiped) and it did not work.
9. Restore data from backup.
The only strange thing is that the native app icons look different than my previous lollipop system. Don't know why. They are less colorful. I installed C00B220 for PLK-AL10.

Yes it does. (It did for me.) Technically this is not a rollback but installing a brand new system on an empty phone. That's why it is important to do a backup upfront.

Thanks for the answer. Im gonna try this method. I can't reflash any region rom.
Hey guys, I'm facing an issue right now.
I had a rooted OPX with TWRP and Lolipop. I downloaded the new OOS 3.1.3 from OnePlus site, flashed it. There was an error, fixed it by updating updater-script. Flashed the zip, then just after that flashed SuperSU zip and TWRP image over recovery. I don't know why I did that but that's the order. Then I forgot to wipe Dalvik/Cache and rebooted into recovery...It stuck in OnePlus Logo screen with powered by android written at bottom. Then I tried to boot into System by pressing the power button, it got stuck in the boot animation (The new one in Marshmallow update). It just keeps rotating infinitely (I think). I have waited for about 30 minutes on that screen, no luck.
What should I do? Is there a way that fastboot mode would be recognized by my PC and I can boot into recovery via image? Or any way for factory reset? Data is all backed up, so no issue about that. Just need it to get running asap.
Please reply asap.
Thanks for reading.
Did you try booting into recovery or fastboot manually ?
For recovery - hold all 3 keys, when OnePlus logo comes, then leave Vol Up key and hold the other 2.
Do the same but leave the Vol Down key for fast boot.
If either of this works then you can recover easily.

Just as I mentioned, booting into recovery doesn't work. Stuck at the OnePlus Logo Screen if I do that manually.
Though I can boot into fastboot. But after doing that, when I connect the phone to the PC, fastboot devices command returns an empty line.
We get so caught up in custom recovery and such that we forget about what people would normally do who don't mod. Simplest safest way to upgrade bootloader or downgrade is by using original stock recovery. Now your gonna probably need to go through the hard brick guide.

Yeah, I did for the first time.
I think I now know what went wrong. For future viewers -
Do NOT ever Flash Recovery Image through your recovery. Always use fastboot.
Something weird happened. I managed to flash recovery, update to OOS 3.1.3. Then for rooting, I downloaded TWRP and SuperSU zip from the links here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/discussion-how-to-root-oneplus-x-t3242830.
But as soon as I flashed SuperSU, I got stuck in Bootanimation again. Why is this happening??

You have to use the modded SuperSU. You can find it in the many guides posted for oos3.
Hi all,
I went ahead and rooted my Mate 10 Pro today - I unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP and got it running pretty sweet. Then, like a tool - tried installing xposed framework and got myself into a boot loop.
I can get to fastboot, I can get into twrp - but for the life of me don't know how to get a system wipe and fresh format! I've tried flashing LineageOS - but that's stuck on a loading screen and then boot loops after about 10minutes.
What happens is I turn my phone on - see the bootloader message - if I do nothing there's a 50/50 changes Huawei's eRecovery window opens (where if i connect it to the wifi, it fails and gives me the option of reboot or shutdown) or LineageOS boot animation loops for about 10minutes before shutting down.
At this stage, I don't mind what rom i get working - i just want something working and I'm really regretting xposed (I should of googled!).
I really don't want to pay $40 usd - and am happy tinkering around, but would appreciate some solid advice on how I can use TWRP to wipe everything and start again!
I'm also a little confused as to why eRecovery is coming up at all - and why it can't download anything!!!!!
Can someone help me get a phone back?
Thanks!
Yeah, I bootlooped going with xposed too, but I have the Mate 10 (regular) and no TWRP. Can you get to TWRP and simply flash a clean ROM? If not, which I presume is the case, can you get to Fastboot? To try, when you get to the eRecovery window, use the option to shut down your phone. Then press the power button and, while holding it, plus in your USB cable (the other end which should already be attached to your computer). Then go to Mankindtw's thread for flashing ROMs (Mate 10 Flash Oreo one). Basically, you download three zip files from a russian language page with all the latest Huawei ROMs, repackage them within his utility, and then flash them from within his utility. Worked for me.
download update.zip (for your firmware) from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database
Extract update.app from update.zip
Download Huawei Update Extractor (open it and go to settings and disable header check)
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor
Extract SYSTEM from update.app using Huawei Update Extractor.
(Not sure if Xposed modifies vendor too, so you might have to extract that as well)
Fastboot flash system system.img
See if it boots now. If not you could try extracting recovery_ramdisk and flash recovery_ramdisk.img to the recovery_ramdisk partition then factory reset from stock recovery.
If it does modify vendor you'd have to flash vendor as well.
Or you could try flashing lineage os system, flash recovery_ramdisk and factory reset from stock recovery (factory reset is needed to get aosp roms running)
If it still fails, use mankindtws HWOTA as described by rogerinnyc above. (link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814)
Stock rom seems to be installing. TY for your help

The problem I'm having now is, on my win7 and win10 pc's - when I enter fastboot, neither PC will accept drivers for it and therefore, I can't fastboot flash anything.
I just get '<waiting for device>' even when plugged in (and windows 'driver no successful' message)
Is there a way to transfer the files via twrp adb sideload?

Sadly no, this corresponds to reflashing the whole phone, block by block.
have you tried to find matching drivers ? (it should be pretty easy on windows 10 normally...)

However, you would probably have had problems before too when flashing twrp.
But worth a shot I guess.
Didn't see it said you tried on win 7 too.
And if it worked before on Win 10 it should work without it.
I guess you could push system.img to /data/system.img then tap Install and selectInternal storage, tap on (go up one level) in browser, now you'll be at /. Tap on /data and then on system.img. Flash to 'System Image'.
Edit: I've tested with recovery and that flashes fine from /data/.
please see below;
Hi all. My SDCARD was encrypted in TWRP, so I googled and saw I should run this command;
recovery --wipe_data --set_filesystem_encryption=off
Which I did on TWRP terminal - and now im boot looping again. I tried fastboot system.img and it's still bootloading. I see there's supposed to be a 'boot.img' in my update.app, but there isn't.
Any ideas?

Boot.img is for Nougat. Oreo uses ramdisk.
Try wiping data in TWRP (Wipe - Format Data).
You can't turn off encryption in TWRP. It's controlled by /vendor/etc/*.fstab (* = kirin970 in this case). (You can temporarily turn off encryption but it re-encrypts after booting if fstab is untouched)
But removing encryption won't fix you bootlooping, and that command you used is for Full disk encryption, we use file based encryption.
You could also try flashing back stock recovery and do factory reset from there.
Edit: Oh, you're the guy who PM'd me
I've reflashed my 'system.img' as before - but im having trouble getting into factory reset menu.
all it ever does is go into e'Recovery instead, which is useless.
Also, my booting image is still a green page of pixels - rather than a huawei logo.
Hi. I have a bla-a09 and need help. can boot into twrp but will not boot.
This is basically a copy of my Z380M TWRP thread adopted for the ZenPad 10. I decided to start a new one since the OP of justshaun's original recovery/rooting thread has gone stale, even as I had posted several new releases of TWRP over the months. Its instructions are also a little outdated. I've also compiled a version for the new Z301M(F) models and needed a place to post it. This is where I will be posting TWRP updates from now on.
In addition to this thread, referring to the Z380M TWRP thread and the original Z300M thread (links above) may be helpful. These models share the same hardware and software base, so most things that apply to one tablet also apply to the others.
DISCLAIMER
As usual, you do anything described in this post at your own risk. No one but you is responsible for any data loss, bricking or damage of your device.
REQUIREMENTS
Windows or Linux PC
SP Flash Tool version 5.1532 (only this version will bypass security checks)
MediaTek VCOM drivers (available through Windows Update)
ZenPad 10 scatter file for SPFT, attached (choose the one for your tablet)
Recovery image, attached (choose the one for your tablet)
ZenPad Z300M, Z301M or Z301MF tablet upgraded to Android N
This won't be a guide on how to use SP Flash Tool. There are plenty of good guides out there like this one on how to set up drivers, load scatter files, flash and make backups with SP Flash Tool. If you're not familiar with this software or how to flash MediaTek devices in general, please do your research before attempting this. I will just get straight to the specifics about the ZenPad 10.
FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
For a locked bootloader:
At this point you should have your tablet powered off, the drivers installed, all of your data backed up, and SP Flash Tool v5.1532's Download tab open and loaded with the tablet's scatter file. Open the download agent file DA_PL.bin, replacing the default MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin. (You can use the AllInOne DA if you want, but the procedure involves extra steps as described below.) Load the extracted TWRP recovery image for your device (twrp-3.2.1-0-z30*m.img) under the recovery partition line in the partition table. Click the Download button inside SPFT. Now just connect the USB cable to your tablet and your computer's USB port. It should start the download process automatically and disconnect when finished.
Alternative Method:
If you're using MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin, you have to hold the Volume Up key as you insert the cable, which puts the device into an emergency download mode. In addition, you will need to have the stock preloader*.bin file loaded inside SPFT for it to be able to communicate with your tablet. The preloader is available inside the official zip file download. Do not flash the preloader (untick the box) or any partitions other than recovery. You just need to have a valid bin file selected under the Preloader line.
For an unlocked bootloader:
If you have used the Asus unlock tool to unlock your device, you will still not be able to use fastboot flash to install a custom recovery. However, you can do a "hot boot" or a tethered boot of TWRP. This method doesn't require SP Flash Tool. Download the TWRP image, put your tablet in fastboot mode and connect to PC. Then run this command to boot TWRP dynamically:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-z30*m.img
Once inside TWRP, flash twrp-3.2.1-0-z30*m.img to Recovery using Install -> Install Image. Then reboot to recovery. You may be able to use TWRP in the tethered boot mode, but that could result in glitches due to different parameters passed by the bootloader to the kernel. That's why flashing is recommended.
To update from your installed TWRP version to a new one, just transfer the image to your tablet, then boot to TWRP and install it by going to Install -> Install Image and flashing to Recovery.
START RECOVERY
With the tablet powered off, hold the Volume Up and Power keys together until you get to a menu where you can select "recovery". On the Z301M/Z301MF, that option is labeled Factory Reset. Use Vol. Up to scroll and Vol. Dn to select. If you have a locked bootloader, it will show a Yellow State message because the recovery is not signed by the OEM. Just press volume up to boot it. On the welcome screen of TWRP it will ask you about modifying the system partition, I suggest you go with Keep System Read-only. Doing otherwise will complicate your OTA updates.
WARNING: Never start the stock recovery from the bootloader menu on this device. It is programmed by the bootloader to instantly wipe your data without any warning. Also, be aware that Android installs the stock recovery at every normal boot cycle. So you either have to flash the TWRP every time you want to run it, or disable the automatic recovery installation in the stock firmware. Any kind of mod to the boot image will prevent the automatic recovery installation. If you're not sure which recovery you have installed, you can always do a 'adb reboot recovery' from Android without risk of data loss.
WARNING 2: Make sure you use the correct scatter file for your device (i.e. don't mix up the Z300 and Z301 files). For the initial flash, there is no check for scatter file correctness. If you use the wrong one, SP Flash Tool will alter and lock your GPT to that scatter file layout, possibly bricking your device. It will not be easy to restore it. Flashing with the correct scatter file later on will not work because Flash Tool will not allow you to use a different file than the one you used initially.
What works: Basically everything... access to major partitions, decrypted userdata partition, decrypted adoptable storage, external SD card, ADB, USB-OTG, touch interface, splash screen, installing stock Asus OTA/web FW updates
What doesn't work: (no known problems yet, but please report any)
Not guaranteed to work: factory reset

Heya, thanks for the new thread..
Stupid question(coming from Samsung flashing)
Ive got Zenpad S3 10 P027, is this TRWP not ideal for this?
Currently, have some su (root) issues. Recovery shows Android icon chest with ! and says "No Command"
When running su in Terminal ADB via PC, says command not recognized.
Looks like I need to reflash recovery. When in TRWP (launched via fastboot boot twrp on PC) I flashed stock recovery but had system mounted read only. Could that be the problem?
Bro, I think you need to do some more homework on root, su, dm-verity, mods, etc. and read the instructions more carefully before applying these hacks. You are making a lot of simple mistakes and ending up shooting yourself in the foot for it. I don't think there's anything wrong with the Z500 TWRP. It can handle installing the stock firmware just fine. The problem is elsewhere. The unlock tool also works fine in TWRP as well in my testing.
The No Command screen is normal. That's been answered many times... you need to hold power+vol. up (or down) to get to the menu. There is no way the stock recovery image can be broken and still boot up.
The su thing, IDK what the problem is, but I'm sure if you install Magisk Manager and make your own patched image from your currently installed firmware, and fastboot-boot with it, you will have su functionality. Just like what it says in the unlock tool instructions.
Lastly and most important, never mount system in read-write mode, as I've repeated several times and exactly as it says in the directions:
7. At the TWRP welcome screen, do not select to modify the system partition and touch Keep System Read-only instead. Doing otherwise will render your tablet unbootable.
8. Mount system in TWRP (in read-only mode)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only time you can mount it in read-write mode is when you are absolutely sure you have disabled dm-verity in your boot image.
I've successfully installed TWRP on Z301M using the instructions from the first post, but then I somehow managed to lose the system. Yes, I should have backed up like the OP suggests.
I thought I should be able to reinstall the original firmware downloaded from Asus (e.g. UL-ASUS_P028_1-WW-3.3.12.0-user.zip) but both the 'adb sideload' method and the TWRP failed to install that firmware zip. My device looks bricked. The only thing I can do is to boot into TWRP (I actually need to select Factory Reset on the bootloader screen to get into TWRP). The folder 'system' is empty.
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong when trying to restore the Asus firmware?
When I try to sideload the zip, setting TWRP in the sideload mode, the computer begins uploading but after a few seconds gives the message "Total xfer: 0.01x" and stops, while Android errors with "set boot part fail. can not open misc-sd".
When I install the firmware zip from TWRP it also starts installing fine but shortly gives the same error "set boot part fail. can not open misc-sd".
Thanks
@ahacker, first of all, thank you for the feedback on the Z301M platform. You are literally the first person to have said anything about that version of TWRP.
To see the files on system, you first have to mount the system partition. Did you do that? If not, I suggest mounting it read-only. If there was any corruption on it, then reinstalling the firmware should have fixed it. The "misc-sd" errors are normal. Pretty sure they happen on stock recovery too. The stock firmware does not have dm-verity enabled, so letting TWRP modify system to prevent overwriting recovery should not have caused any problems.
At which point did it stop booting? Also, did you use the scatter file from first post? And can you tell me if the touch screen works fine in TWRP on your tablet?
I'm not sure what the deal is with adb sideload. I don't think I've ever actually tried it....
diplomatic, thanks for replying!

I do mount the system partition. It appears empty. When I reboot into system TWRP says that the OS is not installed.
I don't remember the details of how I lost the system partition. First time I entered into TWRP it asked for a password, probably to mount some partition. I pressed cancel or something. Then I might have cleaned the caches. But I am sure I haven't wiped system. I might have pressed Factory Reset somewhere, because I don't have any data yet on the new tablet.
I would indeed try to mount the system read only. This is not the first Android system I rooted (maybe fifth), and I was always able to restore the system either from sideload or recovery. But here it seems Asus is making us jump extra hoops to do that.

That seems to be my main problem now. I cannot reinstall the Asus firmware. It may look like I might be installing a wrong version, but I am positive that I have Z301M tablet. This is what I bought and what the boot-loader says. I download Z301M firmware from the Asus website (e.g.). So it must be a correct firmware.

This is the unbricking method described here. It probably does the same thing as the "Install Zip" from recovery, because the errors that both methods give are the same.

Er, the password should have been for decrypting your userdata. If you didn't have one set up, there might be something wrong there.... Or possibly just unformatted.

Yeah, that has to be the right one. The installation script has to match the model name reported by the recovery. Otherwise it would simply abort.

When you installed the zip, did you unmount system completely? BTW, when you mentioned the errors, the installation does keep going for like 5 to 10 minutes afterwards, right?
If you still can't resurrect it, please post or send me the recovery & kernel log that has your installation attempt.

I've tried both ways, with and without system mounted, a few times. The installation would fail after something like 5 seconds.

I think I am giving up on this cheap tablet. I cannot even format it in the Flash Tool: it says "To format code area is forbidden on this phone". Asus is forbidding too much for me to ever buy it again. Attached the logs.

i not understand... i have Asus ZenPad 10 LTE Z301MFL.. a root method has been released ???
@diplomatic
Would this be compatible with Z0310M ? can't find anything for this damn model...
Hi, NeBouse,
Are you sure you have the correct information? It looks like just a misspelling of Z301M, aka P028....
I have z301m.
One thing that was a surprise for me is that the TWRP recovery flashed with the method described in the original post does not stick. You have to flash it each time you use it. If you are like me this information is important, because the original recovery plainly wipes your data without asking or warning.
After you have flashed TWRP on the device, to go to the recovery mode you have to chose "Factory Reset" in the bootloader. Then it will complain about wrong OS, which is the sign that flashing TWRP worked; choose 'yes'. The first thing you should do in TWRP is a ful nandroid backup. (Not listening the OP's advice about backing up when Installing TWRP with a wrong scatter file almost cost me the device. Thankfully diplomatic managed to remotely fix my problem, probably spending a lot of his personal time. The scatter file in the original post is a correct one now.)
Creating a nandroid backup in TWRP takes unusually long time, I even once decided that it hanged. Taking long time, like 10-30 minutes, for a full backup is normal.
Asus Z300M , Magisk 16.3 (beta) and FW 5.3.19 WW now works!
z301m, WW-3.3.12.0 firmware
For rooting I've installed in TWRP Magisk v15.3 (diplomatic warned against 16.x, someone else against 15.4) - link.
Installed in TWRP xPosed framework 88.2 - link, and xPosed Installer apk from within Android - link.
So far, so good.
What I've found is that TWRP seems to have problems with external sd cards (lots of fs corruption). I found it safer to unmount by hand by unticking the sd card checkbox in "Mount". Not very conclusive about this though.
Thanks, ahacker. Good feedback. Although to be fair, I didn't say to avoid Magisk 16.x. I said 16.0. I'm pretty sure whatever bug it had is already fixed in the latest version.
Now that you've installed root, TWRP will stick around on the emmc. The stock recovery only gets installed if you have the original unpatched boot image on it. I mean, this is not unique to these devices. That's been standard Android functionality since some 4.x or 5.x version. And this is essentially what's in the warning on the OP.
The backup I'm talking about in the installation method is done with the SP Flash Tool readback function. That will pull the partition tables and your device's "metadata" that's unique to your unit. I don't think nandroid covers that...
Oh, and what is this SD corruption you're talking about? What file system is it formatted in? Have you checked your card for errors in Windows?
Asus releases so many difference Z301M model, so I am curious if this also works on Z301MF model?
Notice Z300MF has the MTK8163BA (or MTK8163A?) CPU model while Z301M uses : 8163B
Anyone tested that already? Thanks.
my zenpad 10 has frp lock. it this a solution to remove the frp lock?
Pls help how i flash original software via fastboot ?????
This afternoon I installed LineageOS and all was well with the world. I then installed TWRP as I wanted to install Magisk and the EMUI camera. However, it then started bootlooping and nothing I've tried seems to be working.
I can get into Fastboot and it lets me flash stuff, but nothing boots. I tried the unbricking guide as well, but none of the three files work - I get a "No space left on device" error for each of the files.
If anyone can provide me with an idiot's guide to sorting this I'll be massively grateful.

Hi, look at this perhaps it can help you

I had used that guide, was following that when I was getting the out of space errors.
However, I got it all sorted in the end - I just downloaded a different (older) version of the firmware and that worked.

Hi good day.
I have been following your work from another page, and now in XDA.
I had not read your message, and, I changed the recovery for the stock, and, I was an idiot to close the bootloader.
What happened? Brick simple on my cell phone, did not come out (because I fixed it) of the image of erecovery (EMUI) without tabs or options, a rather rare image.
How do I solve it:
1. I did not enter fastboot, I did not correctly enter the stock recovery (I had deleted the twrp), I had closed the bootloader (my stupidity)
2. Be patient and wait for the battery to run out (wait a day for it).
3. Open cmd and place the command to open the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and execute.
4. Put the device in fastboot mode when connecting to the laptop (I did not work several times, the fastboot came out with error FUNC No 10 and NO 2), after numerous attempts and not to let it charge the battery too much (because it was restarted and towards brick in the EMUI logo), correctly enter the fastboot and unlock, when you enter step 3 automatically, it will be executed. I had an advance in removing the cell phone from the brick.
5. It reboots and wonderfully happened to the Rom (that had previously installed), that is to say, the erase was not executed when the bootloader had previously closed.
6. As I had little energy, it was turned off, but I connected it and entered charging mode without restarting (before I did it).
7. Wait for a load of at least 5%, and install the Catuva21 TWRP from the tutorial.
8. I put it by command to restart in fastboot, but I generate error (Error Func No 10 and No 2).
9. I turn off the cell phone and with volume up and power key
10. Enter the TWRP correctly, verify that it is installed.
11. Restart system and log in to the system. I had not deleted anything, but to avoid problems, I hope to load 55% and execute the steps to install the rom.
12. Enjoy and dry spilled tears.
Experience lived and I hope you do not do something that developers do not advise.
Grcias and happy day.
Hi all,
Although my device isn't Mate 9 (mine is Nova 2s a.k.a HWI-AL00), but i'll share my experiece here.
Since EMUI8.0 Oreo, it's becoming more and more tough to get back to oreo stock after you mess/brick your device, maybe that's why HW plan to shutdown their bootloader unlock page.
Couple days ago, i got bored with my Nova 2s stock, and try to mess around to get root.
After flashing twrp (of course my bootloader is unlocked) and using modded rom which already contains magisk, i decided i want to go back to stock again, since the modded rom is not good to use.
This is where all the hassle began...
Maybe my most stupid move was, i formatted all partitions listed in twrp (so many partitions i can't remember).
After few days crying and try to find solutions, today i get to the point where it can download the rom package from HW ERecovery interface.
What i'm doing :
- download full package rom, extract the zip, and extract the *.app file using HuaweiUpdateExtractor, now you can see many *.img's there
- enter fastboot and flash twrp and boot into twrp
- flash these images : system.img into system partition, vendor.img into vendor partition
- exit twrp and get into fastboot again
- fastboot flash these images : kernel.img into kernel partition, ramdisk.img into ramdisk partition, recovery_ramdis.img into recovery_ramdisk partition
- shutdown device and let it boot normally
- it boot into HW eRecovery, and there's a menu to download rom full update package from server, i choose those menu (to download it, you must connect the device to wifi connection)
now i'm still waiting for the result, hopefully when the download finished, it can flash those packages nicely, i'll update the information to you guys later.
