Hello there,
can someone please provide a system.img, recovery.img and boot.img from a WI501Q? I've derped something up quite hard by backing up the system partition while the bootloader was still locked, now I tried to flash it and the filesystem seems to be corrupted...
I tried reflashing a TWRP backup made from someone else but even transfering the backup to the watch fails at some point with "protocol error"... The watch reboots then and no files were saved to the watch.
Thanks already!
See Post #4 on how I resolved this (kinda).

What did you mean by using ext2simg?
Okay, after some derping around, trying, failing and more I managed to restore it...
I had a TWRP backup from my still OEM locked bootloader (I booted TWRP via fastboot boot twrp3.img), via fastboot I formated the system, userdata, cache and so on partitions and something along those lines seemed to work.
Before that the /data partition seemed to be corrupt for whatever reason, not even TWRP was able to display the free space. After doing the above it suddenly was able to display it again but the /data/media folder was missing, I created it manually, pushed the TWRP folder onto it, Restored and it worked!
So yeah, not sure what exactly went wrong here or how to fix it... Sorry...

In Ubuntu it is in this package:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/android-tools-fsutils/filelist
Works better than img2simg.
NOTE-1:
I'm not a developer or something even near to that. All information provided here is copied from different internet sources and according to best of my knowledge.
I have created this flashable zip myself and tried this on QMobile Z8 only. It's similar to Wiko Ridge 4G and Blu Life One (2015) in hardware specifications.
I'll not be responsible for any harm to you or your device. It works perfectly for me. You may try it on your own risk.
Save / backup your data before continuing.
NOTE-2:
This flashable zip flashes SYSTEM and BOOT partitions only. If you face ROM abnormal behavior like signals issue, charging problem, device heat up etc. you may flash other partitions as explained here.
Read here more about partitions.
REQUIREMENTS
To flash zip, CUSTOM RECOVERY must be installed. If you don't have one, get here.
If your device is bricked and doesn't boot, try flashing factory firmware as explained here. Even if Download Mode isn't accessible, get official support for your device and pray for it.
STEPS
Download QMobile Z8 Stock ROM Lollipop 5.0.2 Rooted flashable unsigned zip and place it on SD Card or Internal Memory (if you don't going to wipe it).
Reboot into Recovery.
Install ROM zip.
Wipe DALVIK-CACHE, CACHE & DATA.
Reboot. Ignore "No OS Installed" warning (if it comes).
Enjoy!
Thanks for Your Post
I have Qmobile z8 , i updated the firmware of Wiko Ridge 4g on my phone few days before.
So my current OS is Ridge 4g , now as i have tried to install your custom rom you mentioned in this thread
it goes normally about 25 percent in progress bar then suddenly progress bar completed as it goes completed , there is no error but in bottom its written Done. then i clear cache and then restart the phone , but it stuck on Wicko logo then restart and this continues. It seems installation did not go completed ,,,, Any solution ?

Flashable zip contains just system.img and boot.img. Extract both files and flash using dd.
What is dd , can you please explain what to do in some detail , i am not so much familiar with android

dd is a command on UNIX-like operating systems including Linux and Android to copy / dump data. https://www.computerhope.com/unix/dd.htm
Put both img files on internal sd card. Boot in recovery and run these commands from built-in terminal or adb shell:
Code:
cd /sdcard
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23
dd if=system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24
Make sure "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23" and "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24" are correct partitions to flash or you may overwrite wrong partitions.
Don't forget to make a backup before making experiments.

This method of creating a .img using DD is quite difficult so consider doing this instead:
download mode in noir z8
turn off your phone
press*volume +,vol -*and*power button*for 5 second then download mode mn aa jae ga
Firmware to be downloaded from here

That's for flashing stock firmware. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/factory-firmware-qmobile-z8-wiko-ridge-t3586572
Mine flashable image is a bit modified, rooted, bloats removed etc. But yes flashers are easy to use and risk-free.

Flash QMobile factory firmware, not Wiko's. If that doesn't fix, there must be hardware problem.

on first file its copied 32 mb with no error
on second file it only copied 32 mb and said no space left on device

You must be flashing wrong partition. Or try changing different dd binary e.g. from latest busybox version.
Or if you can loop mount system.img with ext4 filesystem, simple copy files to /system partition along with file permissions.
this time i copied successfully to right partitiones then Wipe DALVIK-CACHE, CACHE & DATA.
then restart but stuck in start loop

Then other firmware partitions from Wiko must be incompatible with QMobile ROM. Simple is to use a flasher which flashes all partitions. But replace the recovery image with custom recovery like TWRP. After that you may flash this rooted ROM if needed.

With my external SD formatted as internal storage, CR Droid Rom file can't be found for me to flash it. No matter where I put the zip file, I can't find it when I go into Recovery. Any ideas?

Make sure you didn't change from zip to rar..
In Recovery under storage it has the internal storage which includes the SD card and then a small external of 15mb. And yes, it's still a zip file.

Yes. .
Download recovery.IMG and flash it by this command..
fastboot flash recovery recovery name.img
I downloaded the latest twrp and the filename is twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi. Using that command I added . img at the end of the filename. I received an error in ADB stating it cannot load that file. I just t looked at the instructions and I forgot to wipe the system and cache before installing the new CR Droid zip. Does that make a difference? Should I do that and try installing the new version of the Rom? Or will the issue of not being able to see the Rom zip file still be there?

No need to wipe anything..
Rename recovery to just twrp.IMG and then try again..
Twrp you are flashing should be in the adb folder..
Renamed it to just twrp and got the same error message. What I was asking about wiping the cache and system is if I want to install the latest CR Droid Rom. I really appreciate your help and please don't feel like you're committed to helping. I may just see if I can flash the new ROM using adb

It shouldn't give that error...
You can flash new twrp with old twrp too..
Just copy it in SD and and click installed/image and locate and flash it in recovery partition....
Caution don't flash it in boot partition..
No you cannot flash custom ROM via adb fast boot... You need a twrp recovery to flash that...
I gave the TWRP app another read try and it worked. I was able to update twrp and that allowed me to install the new ROM. Thanks for your tips and help!

Go to twrp, mount system, go-to inbuilt file manager and chmod 755 the system folder and reboot, or Dirty flash the firmware will do the job.
Next time, do nand-backup before perform sny changes to system. or would be better don't messed up with root partition.

Boot into TWRP (you said you have it installed), and you have to MOUNT SYSTEM first, or it'll just show you an empty folder without file.

Just boot into twrp, you'll see mount menu as soon as you enter the twrp recovery. Enter mount and check system.

When i tick system, i have no "mount" button, i only have a "disable mtp" button, why ? I can give you screens if you want
Hello to all...
After the last system update from pie to android 10(stock rom) I can't change system media folder to be writable, so I can change the lock/unlock sounds. I have tried to do that first with Es explorer, than with Root explorer and Fx explorer, but nothing helps. Also I have tried to find "Documents"(to enable) in App list in main settings but there is no "Documents" in list.
The phone is rooted and every file explorer that have I tried getting granted root permissions. In earier versions of miui I didn't had this kind of problem.
Is there anyone who knows how to solve this ?

Thanks for the reply but i don't think that problem is with any file explorer. Btw, I have tried X-plore, also.
Had the same problem and I've solved it by changing twrp to this unofficial twrp 3.3.1 beta08! After flashing this recovery boot to twrp and under mount, check system and vendor then reboot. Let me know if it worked.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-1-beta01-touch-t3987567/amp/
is possible, but I can't remember exactly that I've also flashed this:

Ok, before i do that... could it be solve from Magisk manager>Advanced settings>uncheck Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity ? I am on Magisk 20.2.
I remember that after flashing dfe zip those checks were cleared in magisk, I don't know if the zip does more. First try flashing that twrp, I think that will be enough.

Nothing was successful. First I flashed that TWRP from link. Than, after I tried, I also flash that zip through TWRP, but still can't paste files in system media folder.
For the information after flashed that zip, in Magisk advanced settings first two options was unchecked.
For now, I found that this is related to Android 10 changes.
did you go to twrp>mounts and check system and vendor, after flashing that version of twrp? was twrp beta08 the one you flashed? It worked for me, had the exact same problem after flashing 11.0.4

Sorry, Wizard8400 for my too quick response. It actually helped. But, for now only with Root Exporer, which is enough for me. And Root exporer does that change to r/w only once. With next operation it will be ask once again to change from r/o to r/w.
I didn't change anything in TWRP Mount section. Personally, I had thinking but didn't dare.
Thanks for everything !
As a recommendation, you cand try this file explorer, it has root features, and it never let me down:

Yes, I had that file explorer. Very good. And with some really useful option like some sort of shift/click similar options for multiple files checking.
I really like Es file explorer and until now I was satisfied.
