Halo all
Most owners here have rooted (kingroot) their system and attempted to update the rom, forgetting OTA conflicts. Although the consequences are usually resolvable, not in the case of mediatek and our model.
To start, I highly recommend using Ubuntu linux off a flash drive running live, else I suggest using windows 7 (perhaps in a vm too) although it didn't work with me (mediatek driver issues) (users reported that it works fine with windows 10, set wifi connection as metered to prevent automatic driver updates)
Optional: Create a live Ubuntu (download the 64bit version!) stick using this tut: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
After booting into Ubuntu, remove modemmanager by typing in terminal : sudo apt-get remove modemmanager
Hit y and continue...
Download folder list:
1)spflashtool from http://spflashtool.com/, "Linux 64-bit"
2)CWM(626g+)
3)Scatter file(626g+)
4)Stock cwm backup ~800MB

Skip 1,2,3 for Windows users
Flash time:
1)Extract the zip in Home directory, open Terminal again then cd SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Linux_v5.1520.00.100 (tip: type cd SP then hit tab to autocomplete)
2)then: chmod +x *
3) last: sudo ./flash_tool.sh
4)Choose the scatter file and recovery img downloaded like in the pic (checkboxes too):

}
5)Make sure your phone is off, click Download then plug in the phone using a USB2 port...
6)CWM installed!
7)extract the stock cwm backup zip to sdcard in this following order of directory: clockworkmod/backup/(the extracted contents here)
8)Reboot the phone by hold Vol Down + Power then leave it, due to the issue it will enter cwm automatically
9)navigate to "backup and restore" and choose restore then the folder your copied (in date format)
10)reboot, dun! :highfive:
Big Credits and thanks to: https://www.facebook.com/htc626gplusdev/info/?tab=page_info , for custom recovery...
Hit thanks if this has helped you, would motivate me to update the links lol
Hi, this is to install the cwm recovery... Right? But how do i flash my phone with an HTC stock rom? Because i don't have a back up to restore my phone. And htc already has a default recovery. Can't i use that to flash my phone with the stock rom file? Maybe via adb sideload?

I think understanding the title of the thread would answer your question, no this is not "install the cwm recovery" it is required in order to restore stock ROM unofficially, there is no way around it to date, if you are afraid/don't trust the stock ROM backup I provided, then wait for HTC to release RUU and simply use fastboot to update (? mediatek)...
Follow the steps, I've provided everything, you don’t need a backup, download my backup etc...

Hello again, I found the scatter file. But when you download and plug the USB, I get the following message.
PTM changed for ROM; it must be downloaded
Any help please? I read that this was solved by selecting all + download format rather than just download, but I have some fear in doing this.
Cheers

It 'should' work on windows, though at certain settings Windows updates the driver with incorrect version. I recomended Linux to avoid problems with drivers

DO NOT RUN THIS ON THE G2X! The partition layout is different, doing so will do bad things to your device. I will release a G2X compatible version when I am back online in a week's time!
For the past couple of days I have been working on creating a ClockworkMod recovery image for the LG Optimus 2X. I'm pleased to announce that the first full release is available!
Some points to note - READ THESE CAREFULLY!
Use at your own risk! I have successfully used the backup and restore functionality (nandroid), and am currently testing other functions.
If you manage to break your device completely, this ROM should get you back up and running.
Download
I have packaged the recovery itself and the installation system together in one download zip.
3.0.1.4 r1 DOWNLOAD (ROMraid Load Balancing) - MD5: 7145b425f95a87dc5bde29ac4eba48ff
Installation automatically on your device
NEW: If your device is rooted, my 99p 2X Recovery Boot app (mentioned below) can now flash the recovery image for you the first time you run the app and on subsequent version updates!
Installation on Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the zip file above and extract to a directory
- Connect your device and ensure 'USB debugging' is enabled
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-clockworkmod-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-clockworkmod-mac.sh' followed by './install-clockworkmod-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-clockworkmod-linux.sh' followed by './install-clockworkmod-linux.sh'
If you wish, you can also manually install the recovery by pushing the clockworkmod.img file to /data/local/ with adb and running 'dd if=/data/local/clockworkmod.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7' from a root shell.
Launching Recovery
To boot ClockworkMod Recovery, either:
Turn the device on while holding the volume down and power buttons until recovery loads
Download the OPTIONAL 99p 'LG 2X Recovery Boot' application from the Android Market (NOTE: This app is completely optional - if you do use it, thanks for your support!)
Source / Updates
I'll be posting the device profile and source changes on my GitHub shortly, and will issue fixes / new Betas as required.
Enjoy!

Hi Paul... first of all - Great job here
Second - if one can't get root access via SuperOneClick, like myself, is this still usable?

THANKS! Installing now
Update:
If you get error in windows just change adb-windows.exe to adb.exe
First, thank you very much, Paul. Great job!
Two questions.
1) This method overwrites the standard recovery on the phone, correct?
2) To revert back to standard recovery, one have to flash the whole phone using nvflash, correct?

Okay. Thanks.
Im just curious, who supplies the NVFlash archive? And is the standard recovery image supplied by Nvidia or LG? Since it is part of the NVFlash archive.
Found out why i can get no root access... i got no adb access at all.
First time pluggin in phone after install of LG drivers, it says that the adb interface thingy can't install.
This also causes that i can't install CWM.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong?
Thank you, Paul!
Successful nandroid backup I will try to make a custom rom.
Paul its was a good idea to let clockworkmod make backup to external sd because its not possible to mount usb storage in recovery menu yet.

BIG THANKS TO MUR4IK FOR THIS TOOL! Be sure to donate to him and support his work!
Cannot get the builder to run or use Linux/Mac? Solution here!
In this guide I will be showing you how to resize your data + system partitions for more/less space.
Things you will need:
LG GT540 w/ A Fastboot ROM installed
LG drivers and Fastboot/ADB drivers installed
Windows (with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed. If you have trouble launching the program, (re)install .NET 3.5 SP1. Also this tool will not work with Wine on Linux.)
Your phones USB cable.
WARNING: MAKE SURE TO NANDROID BACKUP YOUR ROM BEFORE CHANGING THE PARTITION SIZES! YOU MAY NEED IT LATER. ALSO, THIS TOOL DOES NOT REMOVE RECOVERY.
First of all, grab the SwiftBootloaderBuilder.zip from http://kulkoff.com/swift/ or from here.
(Mur4ik's site is recommended)
Next, put your phone into Fastboot Mode (Camera+Power)
Extract the files to your Desktop using any archiving program. Then go to the folder you extracted. Right Click and Select 'Run as Administrator'
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will see a window like this pop up:
Now we can alter the partition sizes. If you want the same effects as Mur4ik's 234MB DATA KDZ, choose 150MB system, and the data column will change accordingly. If you want a bit more system space (eg. To run airbus360's LG Optimus One ROM) Select 190 system. Basically, adjust the settings to how you want. My recommendations are:
For SwiftDroid, joe.stone AOSP, airbus360 AOSP, EleganceSwift, MMXTREM 2.1 Lite, Quarx Black ROM: 150 system 234 data
For airbus360 Optimus One: 190 system 194 data
For stock 2.1: 250 system 134 data
Once you have decided on the size you want, hit 'Flash New Bootloader' and confirm you really want to do this. You will get a 'Done' message and then click OK. Select 'Wipe Data' and then Reboot Device. After you click reboot, hold down HOME until recovery pops up.
Now you have two choices. Either install a new ROM from scratch, or restore your nandroid backup you made earlier.
This tool also has the option to remove fastboot and recovery from the device, so you can return to stock firmware, and possibly use regular LG updates again.
Thats it!
If you've got any questions, PM me or reply to the thread.
Also, don't forget to say
if I helped!
Anyone with WinXP SP3 32-bit has got it working successfully?? I still can't make it work. Resizing, removing fastboot & recovery doesn't work for me.
not sure it works on 32bit. it was tested by mur4ik using a 64bit windows7 computer.

I have only tried on Windows 7, but i'll try it on my netbook soon (that runs XP)
Working fine for me (XP SP3 w/ .NET 3.5 SP1) No issues at all, also partitions resize ok too.
Hi. Thats should be added in header that this "tool" has a requirements MS .NET frameworks 3.5 SP1 and adove.
Mur4ik,
Because this tool can save the bootloader instead of flashing it, would it work to save the bootloader using the tool in Wine, then flashing it with fastboot (maybe a solution for Linux users) What would the command be to flash this boot bootloader?
Thanks.

EDIT: Doesn't matter, .NET 3.5 SP1 wont install, also using Winetricks didn't help. But what I might do is, create a load of bootloader files (on my Windows machine) and then upload them, so users can flash w/ fastboot.
Anyone knows how to get fastboot on fresh stock ROM without that KDZ stuff? Coz I'd just bricked my phone (dead phone), but the LG people in India are too generous to fix it in two hours.
I won't take any risks with KDZ. But I'm missing Swiftdroid and other stuff. Please can someone tell how do I install fastboot somehow without using KDZ?

You could root your phone then use root explorer and copy the flash image file to the bin folder then run the command mur4ik posted in this thread but change fastboot to flash_image run the command in terminial that should work.

You might be able to flash it using flash_image. But either: flash_image may not be able to access the appsbl partition or it may not be able to be changed 'on the fly' so to speak. You can try this, not sure if it will work, root is needed, not sure if it will brick your phone, I have not tried this method.
Download either:
150 system 234 data
250 system 134 data
and also download flash_image from here
Put the .mbn and flash_image file on your SDCard.
Open a terminal emulator and type the following:
Code:
su (press allow when prompt comes up)
cd /sdcard/
chmod +x ./flash_image (if this doesn't work, try chmod +x flash_image)
./flash_image appsbl appsboot_150_234_64.mbn (or appsboot_250_134_64.mbn)
sync
Now try entering fastboot and flash recovery. In theory, it should work.
oh snap, Eoghan beat me to it
@eoghan and effortless.
Thanks for your help, I'll try that later.
EDIT: One doubt, I don't think it's possible to resize partitions while using them.
Lets hope it works, then once at 2.1, there is no need for KDZ anymore (sort of)

TheCollective SCH-i800 Help package
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/P1c_Info
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TheCollective is Proud to present to you StockRooted-sch-i800 Verzion Galaxy Tab
For what ever reason we all need to get back to the default factory state.
soft brick
resale
loss of stablity
to name a few.
Here are the steps you will need to take.
First let's point out that this package contains EVERYTHING YOU NEED for this Except the windows PC to which it will be used on.
Before we begin Install Samsung usb device drivers located in the package.
**\tools-resources\drivers
Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0
next is unpacking Hemdall 1.3.2 (The only one that worked for me on my SCH-i800)
**\tools-resources\Heimdall\
heimdall-suite-1.3.2-win32.zip
But here is a link to the developers page so you can download the original/newer if you want.
http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
You will also need *Microsoft C++ 2012 32bit [if 2013 32/64bit has already been installed you will need to remove it first to install 2012]
This needs installed on your machine because it has .dll files Heimdall uses.
**\tools-resources\MicrosoftC++12\
vcredist_x86.exe
Now you will need to install the drivers this is also needed for Heimdall.
unzip heimdall and go into the drivers folder where you will see /zadig.exe. Run this.
At the top you see options. Click "list all devices"
Then in the dropdown select Android USB composite device (or whatever it says, eg genirc serial device) (tho NOT massStorageDevice)
[good idea to remove any other usb devices as they can and sometimse do interfere with the packet data sending/receiving]
Click the button "replace driver" and let heimdall download/install the drivers. {libusb0 is the one that worked for me, but try another if it dont for you, there are three}
Run Heimdall-Frontend.exe as admin
Files provided To Flash Your Tab with
**\TheCollective-StockRooted-sch-i800.tar.gz >--TheStockRooted 2.3.5 that came on your tab.
**\tools-resources\HumberOS\heimdall-uses
boot.img >-- a CM10.1 kernel with TWRP for sch-i800
recovery.bin >-- CM10.1 twrp for sch-i800
if you need the pit file --> my-sch-i800.pit [extract it from the stock tar gz]
Ok, Let's get to flashing over the files and getting your tab back to normal.
1: Connect your tab to your PC
2: Launch your tab into download as it is already connected to your PC.*(Do this by holding the volume down and pushing the power button)
3: Go in to the folder "Heimdall" and start " heimdall-frontend.exe" as ADMIN
4: Set up the file you are about to LoadPackage tab. [It should look something like image.]
5: After you have the file in place click load, it will change tab to flash with files listed, simply click start to flash.
ALWAYS make sure your battery is sufficiently charged or you will have MAJOR problems.
Tab should boot. [if not factory data reset in recovery e3 and reboot]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After this is should be just like you took it out of the box, and already rooted.
Hope this helps!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you wish to unroot I've included SuperOneClick shortfuse.
just hit unroot
If you wish to install CM or other AOSP rom here is some helpfull info.
Heimdall command line
Flash boot.img with heimdall command line like this:
Press Power + VolDown untill you get the Download screen or PC <–> Tab screen.
on PC open CMD prompt in the folder of Heimdall and place boot image in same folder
type this command string:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel boot.img --recovery boot.img
Or just replace boot.img inside the ROM ZIP with your desired kernel.
*TIPS
In case you get any strange symptoms.
Flash full TheCollective-StockRooted-sch-i800.tar.gz (with repartition) via Heimdall.
Flash the Kernel included in the package using the heimdall command above.
Boot directly into CwM Recovery, holding Power + VolUp.
Flash CM10.1 ROM, if it reboots by itself repeat the step above.
If you want Google’s stuff, flash latest GApps for Android 4.2.2.
Only Reboot after everything.
Wrong MAC? Wrong IMEI? Try restoring files from /sdcard/backup/efs*/* to /efs/. If you don’t have a backup, then start over with FULL Restock, and next time save your backup/efs folders, which are created everytime you install CM10.1.
Market problems? Clear Google Services Framework data and reboot.
No touch? That means you got the wrong kernel installed. A couple of builds had problems identifying the exact model. Just flash your kernel through recovery or heimdall / odin.
No boot? Stuck at the SAMSUNG logo? Flash the correct kernel using Download Mode using heimdall!
Deep Sleep not kicking in? Try wiping cLock’s data or freezing / removing it (com.cyanogenmod.lockclock).

Appreciate the thread! Is it possible to get a mirror though? The current host keeps cutting me off whenever I try to download the file... Can't make it past 200MB no matter what I try; other files download fine.
Going through the whole process but "Heimdall.exe" stopped working EVERY time I press start. Any ideas?

I had the some problem. Tried it at work with FF, Chrome, and Free Download Manager and all would fail at some point after about 2/3 done.
Came home and tried and got it first try.

Perhaps bad DL.
Make sure you follow all instruction.
Don't skip any steps.
Don't forget to have the correct ms c++ redist istalled.

Just a question. Every time I boot to recovery <3e>, and try to wipe data, I get the following:
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:install_application_for_customer: Can't mount /data
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
Could this have anything to do with why I'm not able to get out of my bootloop?

Yes. I had same issue on my captivate trying to restore stock from a cm7
To fix I had to flash in the kernel and recovery from cm and in cwm under advance mounts format data. Back then on that device speedmod kernel allowed users to select format method (fat32/ext4/etc)
But also hemidall should format with the repartition. But that is assuming it can read and mount the partition.
You can use this package but instead of flashing the ROM package,
Load the pit and load only the kernel and recovery
Then boot into cwm and mount and format data (might as well while your at it mount and format system, and cache)

I did try this but I still get the crash of heimdall.
Also what does "mount and format data" mean? I can format data, system and cache but I don't see "mount" at all.
The Collective DL Fails
So I am trying to download the package that is for this which would be most helpful for me as I'm trying to help out my pastors wife with her Galaxy Tab, I started the download and it got all the way up to 144MB and quit, and file won't work.
Is there somewhere else that you can put it so we can try downloading from there? Can I give you my dropbox and you can drop it in there?
Again just to say I don't have a problem with HEIMDALL I have a problem downloading your link for the files needed for the flash.
I would really like to try to get this working for her as I've been looking around for a solution for this thing for about 2wks already and its been blowing my mind.
So we need the DL fixed so we can download the Collective Package.
Thanks again for the help and great write-up.

No 3G with alroger's latest kernel
I guess this is a pretty common issue for CDMA user's. alroger's download page says to copy the modem.bin to the /radio. I downloaded the original verizon modem binaries for my sch-i800 but I don't see a /radio folder. In the about tablet section, baseband is unknown. I just created a radio folder on the root of the tablet and renamed my download modem.bin and stuck it in there. I'm about to reflash the just the kernel but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. So how do I get my radio/modem back and get 3g working with this kernel? cafe-ti.blog.br/1956~cm10-1-sgt7-p1000.html

Help to download...
Hi... I have tried many times to download the package (TheCollective-RootedStock-Odin-sch-i800.tar.md5) but I can not , the download starts fine, but not complete!.
If you could upload to another server like 4shared, mediafire, dropbox... I would be very grateful..
Still not working as it should
So I have downloaded the package finally and I Have done all the steps according to your writeup. Still doesn't give me a fresh startup on the tablet, I still get many error popups and also all my apps are still there.
What could I be doing wrong? Could there be something wrong with the tablet?
Any help on this would be great, as I'm dumbfounded on this already.
Thank You

ARE YOU SEARCHING TO ROOT YOUR REDMI 2 ?
DISCLAIMER:DO THIS ON YOUR OWN. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOU AND YOUR DEVICE.PLEASE DONOT MIRROR THE LINKS
CLICK HERE FOR NATIVE ROOT
IF YOU ARE GETTING STOCK RECOVERY EVEN AFTER FLASHIN CWM, SEE THIS POST
STEP 1- FLASHING CWM ON YOUR PHONE
1.At first, you'll need the "adb" and "fastboot" tools. Get them HERE
2.Extract them into a folder, let's name it "Redmi2" (You can give your own name to the folder. That doesn't matter here.)
3.Now get the CWM .img file from HERE
You can use Philz Touch recovery also. Get HERE
4.Rename cwm.img or philz.img you downloaded above and as "recovery.img" and place it in the Redmi2 folder.
Now the folder will look like this-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5.Press and hold "shift" button and right click in the blank area of the folder and click on "open command promt window here". The command prompt will open.
6.Now turn off your Redmi2. Wait until it vibrates. After it's vibrated press and hold "Volume down and Power" keys together until it boots into "fastboot mode". Now connect the Redmi2 to your PC/Laptop through USB cable in fastboot mode itself.
7.Get to the command prompt now.
Now type: " fastboot devices " (without these- " " )
Like this-
8.Once you enter that command, you will get a non-empty name for the device meaning the device is connected. Proceed to enter the next command
9.Now enter the next command: " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img "
Like this-
10. Now this ends...
Type the last command: " fastboot reboot "
Like this-
11.Now your phone will reboot with ClockWorkMod(CWM) installed. CHEERS...
STEP 2- ROOTING YOUR PHONE
1. Firstly get the SuperSU.zip from HERE
2. Now copy the downloaded zip to your sdcard (not in any folder just in sdcard)
3. Boot into CWM recovery by turning off the phone and pressing "Volume UP and Power" button together after the phone vibrates.
4. Once CWM main menu is displayed, select "Install from zip" and browse to the zip that you downloaded earlier and select it.
5. Install the zip. If you get any warning, ignore and proceed.
6. After the installation is complete, reboot your device. (I think you can do that)
7. VOILA..!!! YOU ROOTED YOUR REDMI2

get "Flashify" app from playstore and first take backup of stock recovery and then flash the cwm with it. Thats it..
Actually I didn't knew this method before i made this guide..
Anyway, fastboot gives us a different feel, doesn't it? :v
wait I don't know flashify but it looks it needs root to flash the recovery ... but I think I need cwm to root ... so I think this is not gonna work ...
Ok got it, this may be useful to anybody face the issue with recovery:
I discovered you can workaround the issue in this way:
Temporary boot into CWM:
HTML:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Root the device using CWM
Flash CWM using flashify
[ CWM when you log out ask you for root so maybe it is not necessary to use the zip file ( but I'm not very expert so maybe I'm wrong)]
You can install GAPPS with CWM `gapps-kk-20140606-signed .zip` but be careful, whenever you update MIUI you will look all software installed using CWM. ( superSu and GAPPS for example )
thanks
thanks!

Okay bro :good:
I'll update the OP
I confirm #postadelmaga the CWM recovery does not stay, the only way to do access it is the fastboot boot recovery.img Here's how I succeeded with two phones now.
power on, start wifi, do Miui updates
install ADB or the files above on PC
reboot to fastboot with voldown+pwr
now comes fastboot boot recovery.img
in CWM, sideload SuperSu and Gapps
connect you preferred VPN (if in China)
install and update all Google apps needed
delete most Chinese apps
hey i m unable to flash recovery plzz help

Hi buddy could you plz port touchwiz from galaxy prime?
The simpler solution is to use the xiaomi update tool and flash a developer rom that has builtin root.

howto & root from permissions menu:
https://watchpage.wordpress.com/201...redmi-note-4g-developers-roms-version-miui-6/
But to have the cwm running on the phone is always a safe bet for some recovery actions.
not working.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Before I start: everything I'm going to post here, I learned from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/maven-3/help/zte-maven-3-z835-root-t3705687/page9
VERSION OF MAGISK FLASHEAD v17.1 (Unfortunately no one has flashed version v18.1)
What we need (they will be in the links at the end):
-ZPST for AT&T (with this program we are going to flash the modified boot.img)
-Drivers: QDLoader, ZTE AndroidUSB and ZTE_V889F (in case the previous Zte driver does not work).
-Modified boot.img that are already flashed with Magisk, only the following versions are available:
-Z835V2.0.0B10
-Z835V2.0.0B12
-Z835V1.0.0B13
-Magisk Manager version compatible with v17.1
EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS IN A LINK AT THE END OF THE POST.
Let's get started.
I recommend to do a hard reset before starting, however, in one of my devices I did it having data and applications installed, if you have used kingroot or any other software in your phone, erase all trace of it so you do not have problems.
We download all the contents of the folder, install all drivers included, and the ZPST for AT&T.
Starting to flash:
WE NEED AT LEAST 50-60% of Battery
Turn off the phone and turn on pressing Vol Down + Power Button, the phone will start in FTM mode.
Open ZPST for AT&T and select version Z835

WARNING, remove the usim and sd card
Once inside the software we proceed to connect the cell phone.
1. You will see if the phone was recognized by the com port.
2. Download, this is where we will enter to download the firmware
3. You will see your information imei and so on.
This is how it will look once connected (Let's go to the download tab)
1. Let's select the firmware (it has to be the same as the cell phone otherwise it can corrupt the imei)
2. We chose where to keep a small log to check if everything went well.
3. HIT THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON!!!!!
WARNING: wait for the device to restart at least 2 or 3 times, one of them will be in FTM mode again, so do not panic, it will take a while in 3% or 5%.
When the phone starts normally, if you did a hard reset configure everything again, otherwise, we will proceed to install the magisk.
DO NOT INSERT THE SD CARD YET!
Magisk asks if I want to update to the latest version, press NO THANKS.
Proceed to uninstall
Now let's install the version of magisk manager we downloaded (com.topjohnwu.magisk_6.1.0-165_minAPI21(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk)
When the installation is finished we enter Magisk and this will ask us if we want to upgrade to the latest version, PRESS NO!
Now we will see that magisk is installed correctly.
We see that we can use all its functions.
We will proceed to verify if we have root access.

And Voila!

You can install titanium backup, twrp is not possible at this point, no one has done it yet, you can delete system apps through adb, using
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 packagename
But i haven't figured out yet how to get rw permission on system/apps so i can delete system apk's.

Thats odd, try this: download another folder B12 or B10, and just paste the B13 boot.img, maybe that could work, one of the devices i rooted was B13.

Fear not, that happened to me also, just keep in ftm and make a stock boot.img flash, provided in the mega folder. Paste the boot stock image inside the b13 folder
Placed stock boot.img into B13 folder in place of custom boot.img. The process failure point is now back to the missing sbl1.mbn problem. I can get the phone to start, however, so it's not bricked. Whew!
