So far throughout xda, I have just got links to stock ROM for other variants like LX1(mostly), which dont support the VoLTE feature. However I fail to find any link for complete stock ROM, both fastboot and recovery, for the ANE-AL00 C675 variant. I am well versed with unbricking Xiaomi, Sony and old samsung devices both from recovery and fastboot, but have no experience with Huawei Devices, and the method for huawei devices seem a bit different.
For e.g. if i want to just boot to recovery(temporarily) and not permanently, I used the command "fastboot boot (recovery_file_name).img" , but I am unable to do so with huawei devices. Seems, commands are slightly different. I am just curious to know a full guide of flashing stock ROM for ANE-AL00 C675 variant both from fastboot and recovery method.
Links for the C675 ROMS would be very much appreciated. Kindly help!!

You can use Firmware Finder app from google play and browsing online with this link to find all firmware available from Huawei
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=&firmware_page=0
Boot temporary in the recovery I think it is not possible or I don't know the right commands.
Flash a complete firmware via fastboot mode should be possible but as far as I know only a pay service can handle that, like DC Phoenix.
Flash the most important partition via fastboot mode is possible, like recovery_ramdisk, ramdisk, cust, system, etc.
Flash Full ROM:
- System update (stock recovery)
- Firmware Finder (stock recovery)
- HuRUpdater (TWRP)
- HwOTA8 for Huawei P20 Lite (Recovery_NoCheck)

Thank you for the help, however I went through the above link (the russian link) earlier too, but could not find any link for C675 variant of P20 Lite handset. Nor it was available in the android app.
Secondly, will a nandroid backup via twrp help me in unbricking my device, in case I flash a wrong firmware or if i try some custom ROMs like Ressurection Remix and later want to switch back to my official ROM with which my device was shipped with? If yes, what partitions should I select for backing up as I have never done with a Huawei device?
(Prior to my experience with Huawei, I took a nandroid backup once in my life with an old Xperia C602, but the restoration bricked my device, but got my device back to life by flashing a full fastboot ROM) So I just wanted to be sure that a nandroid restoration not to cause any soft-bricking of my device.

I didn't saw any firmware for your region so far, the idea is that you can look anytime...
- Yes, nandroid can help you but depends the way how you brick the device. In case that you can reach TWRP should be enough.
- To have more success to unbrick your device you should have always the booloader unlocked and FRP unlock.
- Restore to stock should be also possible in case you are in the customizes ROMs.
- Lock bootloader I think is not possible yet, only relock. Don't try do it with unofficial firmware installed.
- Cust, kernel, odm, product, ramdisk, system, vendor and version are the most important partitions to recovery from the customized rom. You don't need to know this by heart, just check the flashable zip from customized rom which partition was installed previously or better just install the official Huawei firmware.
- Is very easy soft-brick Huawei devices, so, do only things already tested by other users.
If you can wait to have firmware released for your device is more safety because you have more options for unbrick it.

I tried every method that i know to do it.
But failed in each and every method .
Help me out!!
I just bought a Nuu R1 Rugged Phone. It has Oreo 8.1.0 on it.
It is an "unlocked" phone. But I don't know if unlocked refers to the phone carrier or to the boot loader. (I'm thinking phone carrier.)
The last I rooted my tablets was Android 5, which required using a custom script that a dev here wrote that temporarily ran CW via fast boot.
I would like to root my R1. I hear now that Magisk is the way to go. (Instead of SU.)
Most every Guide says that I have to have TWRP installed before installing Magisk. But there's no TWRP for the R1. And I am incapable of compiling my own.
I learned, from Nuu Tech Support, that I can get into the phone's Recovery mode with some hidden button pushes. Here's a screen shot:
My first question is, could I simply install Magisk by selecting "Update from SD card"?
If it's not that easy, then, second: I can also get to a fastboot screen. (Not shown here.) Could I install Magisk from ADB on my computer?
I suppose a third question: Is there a version of TWRP that's compatible with this phone? And if so, how do I find it? It would be nice to have a Nandroid backup.
I am willing to show various screens that come up from various button pushes if that would help a dev here.
More data for TWRP'ing
So, I see that one needs an image of the OEM ROM to compile TWRP. I found two sites on the web that claim to have the ROM. (Before the R1 was officially released.) Sounds sketchy. Will try to get an image from Tech Support.
In the meantime, I found that the bootloader can be unlocked (or allowed to be unlocked) via a setting under Developer Options.
I contacted Nuu Mobile Support and they were kind to send me the MediaTek USB drivers for the R1.
It was a two step process to get the driver installed for ADB. But now I have access to the R1 via ADB.
I read here on the forums that I can boot TWRP via fastboot, and not risk ruining/corrupting the R1's Recovery Partition.
Anyone know of a TWRP model version that's close enough to work on the R1? (I presume a TWRP for another MediaTek device might work?)
I would hate to try KingRoot to get root.
I found a website called unofficialtwrp.com. It has a TWRP for the MediaTek 6739, running Oreo 8.1, with 16/2 GB. That's exactly what the Nuu Mobile R1 has.
So, hopeful that this would allow me to root my R1, I tried it. (Short version: Didn't work.)
I already had ADB installed and could talk to my R1 via ADB.
But once the R1 had booted into fastboot mode via ADB, I got a message from fastbood devices that it was "waiting."
I learned that that message means that I didn't have drivers for fastboot.
I ended up installing a fresh version of Win8.1 and using the Windows' updater to find the needed drivers. I had to have the R1 plugged in to the USB in fastboot mode for this to work. After that, I could talk to the device via the fastboot command.
So I unlocked the boot loader (which wiped my data - not every Guide warns you about that) and I did "fastboot boot recovery.img."
I got the message that the recovery file had transferred. After abotu 15 seconds, the phone rebooted. But no TWRP.
Rats.
I didn't want to try the fastboot flash command in case this unoffiical twrp from an unofficial site bricked my phone. If I understand things correctly, booting in fastboot to the recovery.img should give me a temporary instance of TWRP.
Presumably, after copying Magisk into memory, I would be able to get root that way.

Whoa you have been busy you must've heard XDA helps those who help themselves.. :highfive:
I just dropped by to say, 1st rule of modding is taking a pristine stock backup..
For MTK devices, there is a tool called SP Flash Tools, a quick search will help you take a full backup using this tool.
Afterward, you can even try using SP Flash Tools to flash a Magisk patched boot image to your device for ROOT!
Hope this helps!
Thanks. I did see SP Flash Tools mentioned and I did take a look at it. While I've rooted before, I'm trying to get my head around a Scatter File.
Everything I've read so far - well, almost everything - says that I need TWRP to get Magisk installed. But if you think it can be done via SP Flash Tools, I'll start playing with it.
Root nuu r1
Did u ever manage to figure out how to do this & get TWRP to install? :fingers-crossed:
No, I haven't had time to play with rooting lately. I still would like to root it tho.
Anyone know how to root the nuu phones?
someone has the boot.img i need the image

do you have stock rom?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've searched around for hours and couldn't find a solution.
Tablet Specification (from AnTuTu):
Brand: T906
CPU model: MT6592
Root: Yes
Android SDK version: 19 (Android 4.4)
Kernel: 3.4.67
Back story: so I bought a generic Chinese tablet online which came with android kitkat. The app I wanted to use (simply piano) unfortunately only runs on Android Lollipop and newer, so I wanted to flash custom rom.
Problem: I managed to root the tablet using KingRoot, but failed to flash custom recovery like TWRP and my understand is that you can't flash custom rom without a custom recovery.
What I've done: I found a twrp .img file that claims to work with the exact CPU and Kernel of my device here. I then attempted to flash said twrp using the following methods:
1. Androids apps (Flashify, RashR, Official TWRP App)
2. ADB and Fastboot (when I use 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img', it says partition recovery 'recovery' not support flash)
3. Flashtool (followed the steps of this website)
Even after what seemed like a successful flash, whenever I try to boot to recovery, it just goes straight to normal startup and my lockscreen appears.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Edit: I forgot to mention about the bootloader. I tried using the dialer method to check if the bootloader is unlocked but nothing pops up, then I tried the adb method (fastboot oem device-info) but it just shows blank. Then I tried the 'fastboot getvar unlocked', and it returned 'Unlocked: ', so I'm not really sure if the bootloader is unlocked but I just continued with it.
Also interested in a ROM. These generic 10" tabs are shockingly good for <£50 with just the software letting it down.
Received the tablet in the mail, and now looking to root via Magisk (and ideally a custom recovery like TWRP).
I found this video describing a way to download the stock ROM from Teclast:
Has anyone achieved root on this device? Can anyone confirm Treble ROM compatability for GSI A/B?
On the russian forum 4pda somebody posted the patched boot.img and vbmeta.img files required for rooting.
If anyone is registered on the forum he might try to grab the files, for me it gives 404 error when trying to download, though im not registered..

Good find, but the link no longer works. It gives me a 404: https://4pda.to/forum/dl/post/24458874/T40_Plus_root.7z
My guess is it would work if we were logged in, its just that i cant create an account since i cannot get past rhe russian captcha
Yeah, I also can't register without knowing the Russian keyboard layout and how to identify the characters. Perhaps someone with this knowledge can register and attach the required images to root here?
Slightly off topic while someone manages to grab the files from 4pda
Do you actually get 50000+ gpu score in antutu with the t40? I have the maxpad i11 which is in theory the same hardware, and I only get 42000. I even flashed the t40 firmware on the device, but gpu score didnt budge.
To be on topic: if you want root, you may also flash phhuson's treble GSI rom-s. I tried his version of android 12, and it works, and has root.

Yes.
You can either install them via DSU as dual-boot OS beside your stock rom, or just flash system partition (inside super) via fastbootd (you are going to have to delete product partition to have enough space inside super for the system image) and use them as primary OS.
Gotcha:
Just ordered a T40 Plus, did you manage to get root?
Flashing the boot and vbmeta partitions with the images attached to my previous post will grant you root on the stock t40 plus firmware.
I myself moved on to using android 12 gsi images.

Hi NightLord, can you explain easily the root steps for this device? do we need the software that we see in the video at the beginning or is ADB enough?

Hey,
You need to use the spreadtrum research download tool (RDT), not the one seen in tthe video in the first post.
See this guide on how to use the RDT.
The basic concept is that you need to download the official firmware from the teclast homepage, load it into RDT, uncheck all partitions (save for those that are compulsory and cannot be unchecked), select only boot and vbmeta partitions, and as images to be flashed you need to browse the ones found in the archive I posted, instead of those found in the original firmware package.
Begin flashing, your device will perform a hard reset, and then you should boot into rooted firmware.
Theoretically you should be able to flash both partitions (boot and vbmeta) via fastboot too, but when I tried, i got an error message saying boot.img was too large or something. Flashing via RDT went without problem. The only caveat is that flashing via RDT will always hard reset your device.

How to install android 12 gsi on this device?

First you need to unlock the bootloader. You need to be patient when you are flashing the unlock, my device took some 10 mins to complete, but in the end it succeeded (on the 2nd try, mind you.)
Here is a guide for unlocking in windows, though it is in russian (Im attaching the required modified fastboot in case you cannot download it from 4pda).
When you're done unlocking the bootloader, you've already done the hard part.
Next, download your preferred GSI image from Google, from phhusson's, or whatever else you find (Pixel Experience for eg.). Mind you, that the image from Google contains the Android 12L version.
Next you will flash your active system partition with the GSI image. To do that, initate ADB connection to your tablet, then enter fastbootd, by issuing the command:
fastboot reboot fastboot
you can check your active system slot by:
fastboot getvar all (but it will be slot "a" unless you have received an OTA update previously)
you need to free up some space by deleting the logical partition product otherwise you wont be able to flash your gsi:
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
(in case your active slot is "a")
then you can move forward to actually flashing your GSI:
fastboot flash system_a whateverisyourimagefilename.img
Lastly, you will need to wipe userdata, which can be done on the tablet by switching to recovery from fastbootd, and then selecting wipe userdata, or maybe the fastboot -w command does the same.
Reboot, and enjoy your GSI.
I'm using the Google 12L GSI, and it is perfectly stable for daily usage. For bluetooth audio to work, you will have to disable bluetooth a2dp hardware offload in developer options.

I have no idea because I havent tried yet. But I would guess it might be possible that you can flash the patched boot.img along with vbmeta.img with RDT, and it might work, if they do pass Android Verified Boot check.

will these files work on android 10 or android 11? I have a unisoc T618 and unisoc T310. I was hoping to flash both tablets to get root access.
and also do you have a twrp for T40_plus or any unisoc generic twrp?
Hello all,
I recently bought a Archos Safe T Touch (because it was dirt cheap at the time, don't juge me). I know it's a pretty useless device even for cryptobros (I'm not) but I was hoping that I could hack it, built TWRP, install GSI and make it my device for 2FA authentification keys.
But, it's hard to unlock a device that have an amputated android image. This means no way to graphically get to the launcher, settings, oem unlock nor adb.
But I did succeed to unlock bootloader thanks to https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient .
And since Archos give generously the stock rom and sp flash tool files https://update.archos.com/safettouch/SafeT-touch-Upgrader-v1.2.5.zip?fw=latest https://update.archos.com/safettouch/Changelog-v1.2.5.txt I'm able to flash system, boot or recovery img.
So from there I tough I could flash TWRP (I build myself one) but I can't get to recovery nor fastboot mode, this device lack volume buttons.
So plan B I flash GSI (LineageOS android 10) but the partition is too small and sp flash tools refuse to flash it.
So plan C I try to patch boot.img with magisk from another device. It does not boot....
So I'm kinda stuck at this point, I'm fresh out of idea...
Ho and in my tweaking journey I burst open the glass-ish back panel (it cannot be dissemble cleanly, or you need some expert tools), to access the battery.
So please come forward if you succeed to do anything with this device or if you got some ideas
