Ive noticed many people with older TWRP versions having problems with the updater script when installing 4.4 roms you need to be on the latest version of twrp (CWM may also need to be on a recent version). This tutorial will cover TWRP. Goo manager will not work for installing the latest TWRP recovery version on grouper. The following will give you the basics on how to use fastboot to flash a recovery.img (In this case twrp)
Things you will need:
A PC
Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
TWRP recovery.img for grouper http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper
A basic understanding of terminal/command prompt
You will need a PC and the android SDK (SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) for fastboot to push the recovery file. TWRP can be found here (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper) you need the 2.6.3.0 version. Extract your android sdk and move your twrp image file (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-grouper.img) to the platform-tools folder in the sdk (This is where fastboot/adb are). For simplicity's sake rename your twrp file to recovery.img Enter command prompt or terminal depending on what OS you are using (windows/linux) and navigate to to your platform-tools folder in the SDK folder (where you should have moved your recovery.img) using the cd command. (plug device in) Once there check to see if you device is connected and seen with the adb devices command hopefully you will see a wonky alpha numeric code with "device" after it. If you dont you need to enter developer setting to enable adb. You do that by going into settings/about tablet and tapping build number 7 times. That should give you a developer options in settings check to make sure USB debugging is enabled. If all is well reboot your device into the boot loader with the adb reboot bootloader command once your device is at the bootloader check fastboot with fastboot devices you should see another wonky output with "fastboot" after it. The final command to push your new twrp image will be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img You should see some output saying how long it took to push the file it should not take that long. That should cover it! Now you should be good to go with the 4.4 rom's floating around.
There are many tutorials online explaining this process I just thought customizing it to the grouper would help those less comfortable with adb/fastboot. It's always a good idea to know how to use these tools you never know when you might need to use them. Anyone with question's feel free to ask.
Or just install flashify and it basically does all of this for you. I did it and it worked.

That will work. But knowing your way around adb/fastboot can't hurt. There won't always be a GUI to do everything for you.

Didn't know of flashify, awesome. Thx, really fast and easy method. Best thing is I didn't even need my pc for it
Thanks for the tutorial but surely this belongs in q&a, help etc not android development ;p

Actually it's suited to the General section (guides and all). I appreciate you advising the fastboot method (I use it too), but it can b a pain for people who don't have their devices configured (configuring it can be a pain sometimes too). Flashify, as one member said, is a great alternative. BUT you *may* brick your device if you flash something to the wrong block device (possibility of that happening to an expert user: 0.0001%; possibility of that happening to a new user: 1%). Just my two cents.
I agree guys this should be in general. I've never posted anything but a build and didn't even think about it. Do I need to get a mod to move it? As for flashify sounds like a great tool. I've never had the pleasure of using it but if it works and people are comfortable with it more power to it. Personally fastboot is what I'm comfortable with it might seem a little in depth but really its quite simple especially if you use adb for logcats and are setup.
OP No worries, moved and thank you.
To flash 4.4 ROMs one could follow this tutorial, or one could simply flash this .zip of the latest version of CWM:

So, i've bricked it already.
Hello experts and knowledgeable persons!
First, i'm a noob.
I decided to flash KitKat as I play a WebView based game and thought the WebView Chromium of KitKat might make it run faster as it ran pretty slow. On the Paranoid Google+ page it says you need TWP 2.6 later and other sites say 2.6.x. I had 2.6.0.0, so did a backup of boot, data, system and recovery, copied to PC and then tried installing KitKat, it failed. So I updated to TWRP 2.6.3.0 and it failed again, tried a second time and it updated.
The game didn't work well on KitKat, so I restored my original version. I then decided to take screenshot of game not working on KitKat to complain, so tried installing KitKat again forgetting to update to 2.6.3.0 as the restoration of the backup restored the prevous 2.6.0.0 recovery, was a noob and tried again and i'm now left with a Nexus 7 in a boot logo loop.
Restoring the backup fails, as does installing the KitKat Zip or Opensensation . If I try flashing TWRP 2.6.3.0 via fastboot, it says success, but when I reboot the recovery i'm still in 2.6.0.0. I can boot into 2.6.3.0 using "fastboot boot", but it still won't restore the backup or flash. I also have a backup of the OpenSensation rom (wanted to try PDroid and it was the only rom I could find prepatched) which I made on 2.6.3.0, that won't restore either.
So now what do I do, as I don't want to make things worse. I am doing a factory reset before installing. The error i'm getting is "symlink: some failed"", "can't open destination log file: '/cache/recovery/log'" and "E:Unable to open '/cache/recovery/log'"

I'm sure this is not what you want to hear but if all else fails push the factory.IMG you will be starting from square one. You can try pulling your backups off but might as well start over for 4.4

Thank you very much for this recommendation. Really nice. Simple and took out all the nervousness of using the computer to push these files etc.
REally truly best for flashaholics.
question
Won't it work too if you just flash the zip from twrp itself? I'm running 2.6.3.2 and I read somewhere that i can simply install the new version (2.7.0.0.) zip from the recovery itself..Is it right??

Hi,
I'm working with a Huawei Honour 4x, Android 6.0, Stock Rom, Model: CHE-TL00, EMUI 4.1
I'm looking to root it but could not find anything specific on google or XDA. I've read about systemless root for Android 6.0 but the material largely concerns the nexus phones.
I've got quite an odd brand with a specific model make which differs from other models of the Honour 4x.
Simply put, i'd like to root the device. Can anyone point me towards more information to achieve this ?
I've searched and failed. I'm hoping someone else may know where to look.
#Update: I have twrp installed.
#Update 2: I used TWRP to flash SuperSU. My phone failed to boot afterwards and kept looping. So i recovered using the Nandroid backup.
Back to square one. Any help would really appreciated.
#Update 3: Problem Solved. For anyone who has the same device, here are the steps to take.
1. Flash TWRP using Minimal ADB Flash and Boot
2. Use TWRP to flash the updated version of SuperSU (2.71 Beta). (HAS TO BE THIS VERSION or the latest version!!!)
Used: [BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328-forced-systemless] or [BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524]
3. Reboot; wait for a few minutes for phone to load.
4. Job done. Your phone should be rooted.

I can get my device to reboot into fastboot but it doesn't recognise the device after that?
(Just says "Waiting for device", and nothing shows up if I type 'Fastboot Devices')
Could you tell me what drivers you used? I really want to root it to try and get some space back
follow the steps anyway, dont worry if it say conecting in hisuite, and be sure u have hisuite installed, i.e, u have an hisuite.exe in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\HiSuite\ .... and for the space, in hi suite desktop app u can uninstall some, goodluck!

I had the same issue. There're a lot of bloatware apps pre-installed which take up crucial internal space. It seems like it is a driver issue.
My process of achieving root was essentially trial and error, so there was a lot of google searching and installing; without making note of everything i installed (when concerning drivers).
So i won't pretend to be an expert but I'll list the most useful places i checked out.
Firstly, i download the basic Android command line tools from the SDK webpage.
Secondly, i followed the steps on the TWRP webpage (can't link as i'm a new user) I download their recommended drivers too.
Thirdly, (Since Huawei do support modification to an extent, you can find a set of their recommended drivers on google or on their webpage). I googled a set of USB drivers for the Honor 4x and downloaded these too.
Following this, I was able to connect my device successfully.
(Failing this, Google has a lot of content on connecting the Honour to Minimal ADB Flash and Boot. Check it out.) :good:

Hi, my model is Ch2-L11 and I'm very noob and very likely to mess up the whole phone, so I was wondering How did you created a nandroid backup?
I installed the minimal adb tool that you suggested in your post. should I use "adb backup all" in cmd? or creating a nandroid backup is different?
Why not sharing where you sourced the TWRP you used is a mystery and makes this correctly referenced thread rather worthless.
thanks for share..
hello everyone
Buy a Chinese mi8, unlock it waiting for the days that xiaomi tells you.
I installed the global version, and everything works correctly, but I want to change the rom.
I've tried to install TWRP with adb and it's impossible, it tells me the ADB template that OKEY, but never restarts in recovery mode with TWRP, so I can not install magisk, or any rom that is not official.
Is there any way to install a ROM (.zip) without TWRP?, how do I do Root without magisk? Has it happened to anyone?
thanks!
First of all, you're in the wrong section.
Second you should install via fastboot as described a thousand times AND reboot directly to your TWRP image via fastboot command.
The you can flash another from and root it.
Third, I'd like to strongly advice you to do some research about android, flashing etc to make sure that you know what you are doing.... So many people are moaning about bricked devices....

You are trying to be smart? Well...
Why didn't you post your exact steps with fastboot in the first post?
Now it's clear what you did wrong. I already expected it. And you did NOT read what I wrote:
You are rebooting your device with fastboot reboot. In this case your twrp is wiped out by the XIAOMI recovery. Use: fastboot boot yourimagename.
btw, why are you using such an old TWRP? You won't be able to flash actual roms.
So I'd like to come back to my advice in the first answer....

You can't flash a ROM without TWRP and Magisk is the only way you can root your phone that I know of. If you don't even know these simple things/haven't done simple research you might risk to softbrick or even hardbrick your new and shiny phone. There are many guides on how to flash TWRP but you can PM me if you want more help.
Also you don't install TWRP with adb, you need to use fastboot...

Hey everyone
I recently got this phone and went through the bootloader unlock process.
I then tried to follow the instructions on this page https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/rosemary/install/ to get this rom installed but somehow ****ed it up.
Everything went well until I tried to flash the recovery img from this page: https://get.pixelexperience.org/rosemary (i downloaded the 13 plus recovery img).
I flashed the img via fastboot but after that I got stuck in fastboot. The phone is stuck in a bootloop when I try to reboot into recovery or normal boot. The only thing I can get back into is fastboot.
Would really appreciate any help to get the phone working again. Im not new to android custom roms but Im new to xiaomi phones and Im a little lost
Thanks.
OK nevermind I successfully got the phone booting again with miflash tool by reflashing an official firmware...
Greetings!
You can install the rom via adb sideload too. Put on some random recovery (see my tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/twrp-on-android-12.4522273/), and start adb sideload.
Then,
adb sideload insert_package_name.zip

Greetings!
As this phone has an MTK processor, we don't really have a recovery image, it's stored in the boot img I suppose. That link, you can download the official rom to this. DISCLAIMER: There are two types of ROMs listed here, one type is fastboot, that you need now in order to flash it through a computer for example. The another type is the recovery rom, that you can flash from recovery like a magisk package, or anything flashable zip, or with adb sideload.
https://mifirm.net
You should choose global if you are in Europe, but it's suitable for devices in the US or USA probably, ony feature differences are here between an EEA and Global rom.
Also, if you install pixel experience recovery, you can install the firmware by going into recovery, and do it via sideload. Or, you can try flashing the rom with TWRP (tutorial linked below), but then you won't able to install updates automatically.
One question: Did you checked in OEM unlocking in developer options before flashed PE?
Hope it helps!
Yeah, I did checked the oem unlocking. I think the reason why i failed because my bootloader probably updated and I forgot to check. You need bootloader version 12.5.16.0.RKLMIXM to install the pixel experience. Also thank for help
Greetings!
You can install the rom via adb sideload too. Put on some random recovery (see my tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/members/gurtnyi.11842195), and start adb sideload.
Then,
adb sideload insert_package_name.zip
Hope it helps! ; D

Can I do that on newer firmware or should I roll back to version 12.5.16.0.RKLMIXM? And if I roll back then I need to unlock device again?
I think you can. I've flashed it successfully on the latest version too. Currently I don't use PE but it was good for me.
Well, regarding to the unlock, it's not a big deal, you don't have to wait 168h again, once you've firstly unlocked your device, you can re-unlock it again, and again, no matter how many times, you don't have to wait a lot again.
But depending on how you rollback it,
I mean, with xiaomi flasher (i think that's its name) you can choose between clean all and lock, save userdata, and clean all, but in the first case, it'll lock back the bootloader. With SP flash tool (if you need, I can provide a link for the modified version of it, that doesn't require an auth file, but if fails, you need a python script, I can link that too), as I remember it won't lock back the device, but I'm not a 100% sure
Hope it helps!

Happy to hear that!
By the way, yes, pe recovery is better for sideloading, or eventually any not stock recovery. Also, if you install PE recovery, you can apply updates automatically, and in the future you won't need to flash it manually.
