Hi,
I'm trying to root a recent Mediatek arm64 Lollipop ROM and get that not having a patched recovery is a real problem
But I Have a Factory ROM, with scatter file. So I can readback/reflash /system with flashtools.
This make me think I can root the ROM using a shell script after mount /system on a Linux (Ubuntu) PC replicating, at last, part of what SuperSU install script do.
I'll glad to read others ideas about that and what maybe the install method:
- Do a preroot work, reflash and install supersu from Google Play
- Do a full root work installing supersu in /system/app and let SuperSU autocheck finish it at first boot after reflash.
Thanks in advance,

Hi everyone!
I want to share for you new ftf with newest stock firmware for Xperia Z. It's Customized DE.
ROM is rootable, Xposed is working, Zombie kernel too!
(Advanced Stock Kernel from .222 is working too)
Download link: https://mega.co.nz/#!isUERBwA!Sh-zuG62QLVbD9mb5bcz6fxJJoEtLfFrGvD_8FZRZbw
Today i've created and uploaded deodex patch for this rom.
This is flashable from recovery, but if you'd get bootloop after flashing this, do this:
1. Extract archive
2. Copy /system folder to phone
3. Open TWRP recovery on phone
4. Mount /system and on file explorer delete /app, /priv-app and /framework
5. Copy extracted folders to /system
6. Wipe data (you can try with wiping only dalvik/cache)
7. Reboot

Rom need LB or UB
This is official FTF. It's for LB/UB...

I tested it. 100 for 100 on :cyclops:
It is necessary to return or to be emu 4. (MM).
Have the unlock code. (Bootloader).
Have downloaded the full firmware (2 files) Full-ota-mf-pv that twrp can install.
And have downloaded the firmware update, full full-ota-mf (no pv). (3 files).
pc+ winzip+ twrp (chinois), carteSD,
regard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTBvz71l4s0&t=1s
So on the pc, with winzip. Because with winrar for me it does not want to transfer large volumes. :
_ Downloaded a firmware emui 5. Full-ota-mf-pv for your device (it's a firmware in two files, which twrp for MM can install).
_______ update.zip and datafull hw-eu.zip
Uploaded emui update 5. Full-ota-mf not written pv and that does not share ota. But we want it. : (this is a firmware in three files).
________update.zip, public file and data hw-eu.zip
_ Open the update file of the pv version and delete the update.app, then open the update of the no pv version, and transfer update.app in the pv version.
Do the same thing with the datafull file hw-eu and data hw-eu.
In the public zip, there is a data folder with the product and system files.
In the zip data hw-eu, there is a data folder with the cust and version.
We can also transfer them.
In the zip data full hw-eu to data / hw_init :cyclops:
_copy your two new .zip files onto the SD card.
_start the phone in recovery twrp MM.
_ Go to wipe, advanced wipe, check all except well-sure sd card, and wipe to wipe.
_allez to install, installed both zip, it will show you two errors ignore them.
_allez to reboot, reboot system.

strange 32%
with this method, I can even install p10 lite.
can be checked, the update.app that is the good you place in the update.zip
go to wipe before installing update.zip edit this seems important.

If I am rooted and I have TWRP, can I install the update?
I installed update without come back in mm and without reset phone by this steps:
1)flash Hassan twrp recovery
2)download the 3 update file
3)extract update.app from update.zip and from update_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip.
4)With Huawei update extractor extract the image file (system boot vendor cust version misc) from the two update.app and flash It with recovery. The product Image is not falshable, you have to extract this with ext4imageview
5)do a wipe cache and davilk and flash magisk zip to root. Install magisk manager (with the new update b391 i have some problem with supersu)
6)copy the file extract from product Image and data file extract from update_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip and data_full_pubblic.zip in /data and in /product partition with solid Explorer with root permission.
Reboot
It's ok

We are not able ti flash product with this recovery, we can try to ask information to Hassan. The solution is to extract product.img with Android ICS JB EXT4 imagefile unpacker and copy the folder in /product with solid Explorer and root permission. It replace the file with the correct attribute. You have to use this metod to copy data folder

I've already asked him to hassan and he added to install twrp product image, but its not working.
I tried to copy pasted already with a file explorer, but every time, things break. (either with force close parameters, or force close camera, or boot-animation disappears and becomes android).
there is always something wrong.
Yes, we leave from MM everything is ok, clean.
You have to use solid Explorer It works!! With this procedure In five minutes I upgrade to last version
Managed to update to b382.
Seems stable and somehow, the battery is much better o^o
go
time to download, c432b390.
And to transfer everything in the b370 zip, then to go back to c432b160, I installed it correctly.
so this version is emu 5.0.1, patch September 1, version kernel 25 aug and baseband 286.
as you can see.
Updated to b382 vns-l21.
Problem : No notifications on Hangouts. I must go to my friend's chat in order to see the notification.
I have a question for @Chisetdel31260 or @Paolo83 or for whom I can answer it.
Is it still unclear if it is necessary or not the data_full public, which contains this .zip? And how can I add it without errors? Thanks to whoever can guide me :angel:

sorry,
for my bad English.

Hi Chisetdel, I share this video, which includes the files OEMinfo.zip, Update.zip and Update_data_full.zip modified and ready to install via TWRP directly from EMUI 4.1 for the L21 (C432B382/EMUI 5.0.1) and L23 (C605B372/EMUI 5.0.1): here
Greetings
I don't feel like downloading 1.6GB just for 60M update, so this is partial OxygenOS OTA update converted into file based patch using xdelta3 so that it works with modified system partition. Every file is checked by its md5 first before patching to prevent incorrect update.
Notes
the stock recovery (recovery-from-boot.p & bin/install-recovery.sh) is not included in this recovery, so it will not overwrite your TWRP and there is not need to reboot to TWRP after appying the update
text files are not patched but installed full
files in lib/modules are installed full
first boot will takes longer time than usual
Requirements
You should be on stock OxygenOS 4.5.13

How to install
reboot to recovery
backup boot, system, data
install firmware.zip
install system.zip
install boot.img
install any custom kernel
install any mods that modifies the ramdisk e.g. magisk, supersu, dm-no-verity.zip
reboot
share my process and trouble shooting for upgrading rooted note fe from nougat to oreo without re-install. I eventually got a solution
my nougat installation had data encryption enabled during setup, not sure if it made difference, or the cause of my trouble below.
the process references the post [SM-N935F/DS] How to flash TWRP & Root with Magisk (Int. Ver.) [Oreo Updated] and mostly used files provided there.
start with rooted nougat with TWRP
1. download latest OREO ROM from sammobile. Mine has CSC code XME
2. unzip to five .tar.md5 files
3. flash BL/AP/CP/HOME_CSC via Odin, turn off auto-reboot
4. exist download, and re-enter download immediately without letting it to boot up (press home+volume down+power immediately)
5. flash TWRP in odin
6. reboot into recovery
7. install in TWRP RMM-path
8. install in TWRP no-verty-opt-encrypt. This is required for me as my data is encrypted
9. reboot and let android complete the update process
--- note, I did not install the /data partition patch mentioned in original thread for OREO, as it led to boot loop and I had to re-flash stock rom --
10. reboot back to TWRP and install magisk to root
This should be it. BUT --
system boots up ok, but I noticed that CSC was not installed. there is not even /system/csc folder. somehow, the csc was not installed during the installation process. I tried multiple time, same results. here is how I got over it
1. from stock rom 's HOME_CSC_xxx.tar.md5 file, remove ".md5" to turn it to a tar file, and use 7zip to unzip it and take cache.img.lz4
2. use lz4 tool to covert cache.img.lz4 to cache.img
3. use SVAImgUnpack to covert cache.img to cache.ext4.img
4. use ext2explore.exe included in SVAImgUnpack to open cache.ext4.img and extract the sec_csc.img (ext2explorer.exe needs to run with admin)
5. use TWRP to install the extracted sec_csc.img
6. open a terminal in TWRP or use adb shell to run the following command cp -dpfr /system/csc/XME/system/* /system
that is it. and it should work.
If you need to enable VoLTE for Verizon or T-Mobile. extract customer.xml file from Galaxy S8 rom CSC's VZW or TMB folder, and copy it to overwrite customer.xml file under /system/csc.
Thx For informations This phones community is quiet silent :/
