Hi everyone
I recently updated to B609 and (as expected) my phone was un-rooted.
I decided it would be better for me to just install a ROM instead of waiting for a new way to ROOT every time a new OTA comes out. (I have seen some very interesting ones that include Xposed)
This would be the first time i install a ROM on one of my phones but i do know how to use custom recovery's and i will always keep a copy of a backup close so i can flash back when something goes wrong.
A problem i have with starting all of this: I can't seem to find a way to unlock the Bootloader on my phone.
I have looked online but i always get links for older versions/other phones/German stuff.
Second problem: The recovery. As far as i understand, there is no working TWRP for EMUI3.0. BUT there should be a working CMW recovery. Should i go fot CMW?
Third problem: Which ROM? There are 3 that grabbed my attention. Se7en-Rom (But it seems like it hasn't been updated in a while), My-RoM (which seems the most interesting for me at the moment) and Miui (which i just found out about). Which should i go with or should i use another one? I can already say that i want my phone Rooted and Xposed is something i would love to have back (since i used to have it on my previous phone).
Any advice and help would be appreciated

I have a P7-L10 with B609. I was able to successfully root it with RootGenius. When you root it, the bootloader is unlocked at the same time. As far as I can tell, the root is 100%. As for CWM, you can get it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/development/mods-tweaks-kernels-recoverys-emui-2-3-t2966670
TWRP doesn't work with B609/emui3.0.
My L10 has faulty flash memory and won't accept a custom recovery, so I can't test CWM or any custom ROMs. Perhaps others can advise. Good luck!

RootGenius was the first thing i tried. It went up to 66% then i got an error but that was a fully Chinese version.
I just tried it again with the one i found by using Google and it goes up to 72%, then tells me that the root has failed.
Which version did you use?
This is what I used and it worked fine (root genius): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789337
As for bootloader, as far as I know from, starting with firmware 133 (Emui 2.3) all devices have unlocked bootloader
CWM is the only custom recovery for the moment;
Did not try any custom ROM (I'm happy with stock ROM for the moment).
Cheers

That's the first one i tried out. The first few times it ended in an Error. I tried it again today and when my phone reboots during the process, RootGenius loses contact with my phone.
And there is a bootloader-ish thing, but the only options i have is reboot, factory reset and cache wipe.

Hmmm, strange problem. Assuming you have the latest version of HiSuite installed and your drivers are current, all I can suggest is trying again with RootGenius (I used version 1.8.7) with your firewall and antivirus disabled or perhaps trying with Vroot. If you do decide to try Vroot it probably won't work unless you disable your firewall and antivirus.

I disabled my firewall and antivirus and gave RootGenius another try. Normally it goes up to 71% and gives me the error. Now it went to 71%, rebooted and then it gave me the error. The weird part is that right before i get the error, it says the installation is complete.
Moved on to Vroot (which is called Iroot now apparently) . It took a while longer but it wasn't able to do it either.

Get in bootloader mode, if your bootloader is unlocked, it will be written and highlighted with red color. I will point out again, starting with firmware B133 (Emui 2.3) all bootloaders for L10 version (I don't know for Chinese versions) are unlocked
Cheers.

You were right! (not that i every doubted you). I found the problem i had: For some reason, i couldn't boot in bootloader trough my phone BUT i was able to do it with 'adb reboot bootloader'. After making some idiotic mistakes and having to re-flash the stock ROM, I finally was able to install My-RoM v3.3, its rooted, i have Xposed so i am happy
So thank everyone for the help!
Hi I'm very new to android rooting but after loosing my brand new lg g4 I bought a k3 note to have a play with, I have rooted it using the kingroot app and installed trwp custom recovery with another app my problem is the ROMs I have tried to flash fail? Gapps is fine and installs but the cm 12 ROM from rootjunky fails every time anyone have any ideas? As I said this is my first rooting so I'm probably missing something simple! Thanks for any help
refer this thread on xda forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/general/organized-thread-lenovo-k3-note-k50-t3158522
you will get the necessary help there
@Bigbainy Don't install cm12 from rootjunky instead go to index thread by @hackerpower he have every solution and he had made a list of roms plus there are backups by hackerpower too... Or u can to www.needrom.com for latest k3 note roms or there are chinese forums too like bbs.ydss.cn
Thanks guys I downloaded hacker power cm ROM and it flashed successfully but when I rebooted the phone just went back to stock ?
Got it sorted now flashed cwm recovery and the ROMs install fine now

Hello, I've never flashed phones before, so I might have just make some obvious mistake, that I'm not aware of.
After using my XPS 4.3 for over 2 years it started lagging, so I wanted to switch to some custom ROM.
First I wanted to try XperianZe v3.0.5 , but after 2 days of constant fails, anything will do.
First I wanted to root, but Towelroot doesn't work for me (I'm currently staying in China, so I suspect it might be the Great Firewall of China blocking it's connection attempts), but I found another way. I downloaded newest Flashtools (0.9.22.0) and ftf images from the post, but flashtools doesn't see them, so I downloaded an older version of Flashtools (0.9.18.6) and flashed the kernel which made my phone fall into a bootloop. I downloaded whole image C5303_12.0.A.2.254_CE.ftf of stock version 4.1, flashed C530X_12.0.A.1.257 kernel on top of it, and run DooMLoRD script, which gave me root access.
Now I installed CWM from here and copied XperianZeV3.zip to internal storage. I disconnected my phone, entered recovery, factory reseted and chose install from zip. It doesn't matter which recovery I used: CWM Touch/ TWRP/ Philz - all gave the same result:
Code:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/XperianZeV3.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
This is latest version of CWM_SP_4.4.1 that I could find.
Unable to bypass this problem I decided to unlock bootloader and while doing so get MoKee Marshmallow 60.1 . But Sony website told me that my particular phone cannot be unlocked. I tried to unlock it anyway, but fastboot doesn't see my device when it eneters flash-boot (and automatically exits after some time). I couldn't install Flashtool drivers, because of some error with no message, it might be because of Windows 10, maybe? Anyway as I understand from this tutorial there's no unofficial way of unlocking my phone.
The only thing that I found about Status 7 problem is to update CWM (but I'm using latest one, aren't I?), tell the cellphone to ignore the problem (but I'm afraid of bricking it). I don't really understand what is this problem related to, other that name change between Kitkat and earlier systems, but I don't know how to make it work.
Am I just doing something wrong?
Hi there I unlocked bootloader today, installed twrp and installed elementalx kernel. It worked fine, i waned more so i used perm root from All in one tootlkit v2.0 and instlled via twrp, it gived me some error and i said let's do another version, i flashed dome like supersu 2.69 i think and now my phone is bricked, i have stock rom android 6.0 sense 7 and i ask you very fast how i can fix it, i have only 7h to fix it or my parrent's are gonna kill me i I don't answear to phone... Can i flash the rom again and resolve the problem? If yes give me some roms )
Hi
I recently got a mi mix. Love it so far except the OS. So i figured i would root it and flash lineage on it. I got twrp on it, but the screen froze when it asked for å password to mount it i think. I tried rolling back a few versions, but didnt work either.
Well after that i tried to root the phone (I used fastboot to get twrp installed), but neither of the programs i used worked.
The ones i tried were Kingo Root and Root Genius. Both said that my phone was too solid to root. This is very different from when i rooted my galaxy A5 2016. That was just one click and done.
So what i need help with is either getting twrp working or getting rooted so i can flash through the official twrp app.
All other zips where straight from official sites other than a custom version of twrp
Official TWRP is abandoned, does not work.
Read towards the end of the official TWRP thread, you will find a link to a innofficial version by Blunden-Raupe that works.
