all it does is kill the phone, the phone's IMEI has been deleted and the phone's IMEI cannot be flashed because the folder is gone, the motherboard needs to be changed. it can't make calls at all. It's now a mini tablet with a small screen.

You say its corrupt but only with other versions or does a320fl work? Because this seems the most up to date and best rom for this phone at the moment.

CM Recovery for Nexus Player (fugu)

This is the CM-12.1 recovery for fugu.
Use the bottom button to navigate. One push to scroll down and long press to select. I've tested both adb side load and install from internal storage. This recovery also supports adb backup, but I haven't tested it yet.
I hope you enjoy not having to fastboot everything.

Dude, quit being so amazing. It's getting ridiculous.
Excellent! This is the first custom recovery available for this device, correct? I suppose this would open the door to something like the Xposed Framework being installed on the Nexus Player but since my device is running on Android 5.1, I'll probably wait until rovo89 officially adds support for the latest version of Android first.
Yes!!! Glad to see you!

@dhacker29 Sweet! Thank you! May I suggest you don't use dev host to host this file . They use to be good a while back, but now often employ sketchy MITM type "download manager" scams, and other bad practices. From the original dev thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54363645 -
Dear Developers,
It has come to our attention that due to excessive ads that simulate download buttons, fly-by malware APK attacks from Mobogenie, and reused (and potentially dangerous) reused short URLs, Dev-Host no longer meets our minimum acceptable requirements as a hosting affiliate. As such, we are ending our affiliation with this provider. We urge you to find a safer download host for your development projects such as our other affiliates: Goo.im and AndroidFileHost.

Just a heads up. I had a bad experience with them before I saw that post.
Also, it would be awesome if you had a naming convention with version number for all future releases (assuming you plan on updating it); like "cm_recovery_fugu_1.0.0.img" or something.
Thanks again! I know lots of people have been patiently waiting and hoping for a fugu recovery. [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106]

Yes this is the first recovery for the device but last I checked Xsposed had nothing to do with recovery. This will allow for custom firmware like cm-12.1 to be flashed to the device without having to use fastboot.

I have to agree with Wugfresh on this bro AndroidFileHost is great. All you need to do is @ the guy on Twitter and he'll hook you up with a developer account complete with ftp access.
Wugfresh the issue with a revision on this is it's cm's android bootable recovery so technically anytime a commit is made to that repo it would be a revision change.
I'll host the updated image somewhere else tonight and I will be adding the date to the end of the image so you can tell if it is updated.

The Q&A for Xposed on Android 5.0 at http://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-framework-for-android-lollipop-is-here/ contains this quote:
I want to install it. Now! What do I have to do?
Make sure that you’ve read my words above and you’re familiar with your phone’s internals. Obviously, you need to be on a Lollipop ROM and have a good backup of your data. For now, I will only publish the ARMv7 version. 64-bit is more complex, so let’s try the “easy” variant first.
For now, the installation has to be performed manually in a custom recovery. Flashing the zip file will install:
* app_process32_xposed and some symlinks
* libexposed_art.so
* libart.so and some related binaries + libraries (based on 5.0.2, enhanced with support for hooking etc.)
* XposedBridge.jar (now stored in /system/framework)
Backups of existing files will be created automatically and could be restored later.
Can confirm a working flash. Everything looks great! Thanks for all the hard work
no option to make a recovery image...whats the point of this then?
I tried to wipe my cache to free some space and it sent my nexus player into a bootloop...whats going on with this?
How exactly does this work? If my device is rooted on 5.1.0 and I flash this custom recovery. Can I make a backup of everything on the device? Then when google goes to update the android version, can I update it, then restore my backup of everything and not lose root? I'm sorry i'm new to custom recovery and not quite sure how they work. Thank you for your help!
Edit
Noob
I'm a bit of a noob - I have managed to ADB a new boot and system image to my nexus player - it's now running lollipop1.6. What does this recovery mean and how is it different than loading a boot and system image? Thanks - Does this require ClockworkMod?

if you restored your backup you would be downgrading it from the update you just took. you dont need a custom recovery to back up apps and their data, there are apps for that. a custom recovery makes it so its easier to flash new/custom roms(os), make backups of the current rom(os) so if anything goes wrong you can restore it, flash zips like the supersu zip or xposed framework. if you try take an ota with a custom recovery the ota will fail to install as its looking for the stock recovery(may be diff on a nexus device but its always been like that on the devices i have owned)

This recovery does not provide a "nandroid" type backup where all of your info is zipped up and stored on the devices internal storage, where any application can get access to it, but rather supports adb backup. which backs up your information to a file on your computer. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351 for more information on usage.

Thanks for an update. I tried to full backup by following commands.
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\backup20151904.ab
But getting this "Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation" lines and asking for unlock your deivice to confirm. Any sugestion to pass this. Thanks
Yes it seems Google decided to remove the backup confirmation dialog from TcSettings
So it means adb backup of a full ROM is not possible? Going to try your rom later.

Fantastic! Finally we've got a rom of our very own, for which you've got my immense thanks. I'm very much looking forward to trying it out.
Unfortunately when I flashed it there was a loooong wait on the Samsung logo, and then... Well, after an hour I booted back to recovery to start over.
I honestly don't think your rom was the problem though, because from some point last night everything I tried - custom rom flashing and nandroid backup restores - wound up the same way. Odin + stock + root got a usable system at least, and today's been too busy to try again. But when I do I'll post back about how it goes.
(Sadly, I can't go back in time to see what order I did things and look for a pattern if this happens again. In case it might be useful to anyone, I know for sure I'd gotten stock set up comfortably and made a complete backup before giving thunderoar's T113 kernel a whirl, and that went swimmingly. Even had mounts2sd properly recognizing external sd set up after a long struggle, though not actually enabled yet. Don't know what else i did between making that backup and trying to flash this, but it's likely I just screwed something up somehow.)

Thanks so much for responding even though I didn't specifically ask.
Pretty much all my knowledge comes from following instructions in these forums and piecing little bits of information together, so I've got a few questions - trying to understand the "why" behind these things in order to be more self-sufficient. Please feel free to point me towards resources where I can learn more!

When you install a rom, especially a TW one, in most case you need a specific Bootloader to cause it to start and work smoothly.
Wikipedia:
A boot loader is a computer program that loads an operating system or some other system software for the computer after completion of the power-on self-tests; it is the loader for the operating system itself. Within the hard reboot process, it runs after completion of the self-tests, then loads and runs the software. A boot loader is loaded into main memory from persistent memory, such as a hard disk drive or, in some older computers, from a medium such as punched cards, punched tape, or magnetic tape. The boot loader then loads and executes the processes that finalize the boot. Like POST processes, the boot loader code comes from a "hard-wired" and persistent location; if that location is too limited for some reason, that primary boot loader calls a second-stage boot loader or a secondary program loader.
The bootloader runs your rom with specific instructions, if the rom does not support an older bootloader simply does not boot. My rom does not support the older bootloader. A zip flash in this case cannot upgrade a delicate part like the bootloader. You need to flash the newer one with Odin.

The latest update for your country is PA5. Try with THIS.
Your country code is XAC.
The CSC (Sale Country Code) Is that part of the firmware that contains all the telephone operator customizations (e.g. WAP, MMS) for the intended country. As far as i know, It is not important for us.

I forgot to write data, my bad! But i wrote it in the instructions in the first topic. For personal experience i had different issues when I didn't formatted the Internal Storage. The Android folder, .thumbnails and others, can create issues.
Ah well, soon enough!

I'll reply more later, but wanted to report that it's installed and running very smoothly! Haven't played around much but will do at home later.
If you've got any tips for getting mounts2sd up and running I'd really appreciate it!

Yup, that's the app I'm using, but haven't been able to get my external partition mounted properly. I did manage it once, think it was with thunderoar's kernel though.

Life has gotten in the way of playing around with this, but thought I'd send you an update as I said I would...
Your rom is running really nicely on my tablet as I use it daily. It's smooth and small, with no unexpected reboots or fc's on installed apps. Didn't wipe internal SD but it hasn't given me any issues with existing data (probably because there wasn't much to start with).
One thing that has caused a problem is calendar sync. It looks like you've taken out the actual syncing service, so when I try to access my calendars through any app I'm asked to add a new Google account, even though everything's already set up in "Accounts" under Settings. I haven't tried running the "calendars.providers.apk" from my other phone, that should fix the problem - but I don't want to use the wrong version and break something!
Also, I've confirmed that the only time I got mounts2sd working, it was with thunderoar's kernel. So guess that's going to have to wait.
A few adjustments I made to the setup were to uninstall all "unnecessary" system apps (not needed to run the device), and re-install them from the store. This way I've got 676mb free on /system and still over 1.5GB free on internal storage.
I've also added a multi-reboot menu to make getting into recovery or download mode simpler, and this is loading more quickly on your rom than stock. I've also had to modify permissions.xml to allow apps to access external storage by default, and made another tweak to disable the "loud volume warning" (don't remember quite what it was offhand).
Would you consider adding these to a future version?
Again, thanks SO much for putting this together, answering questions, and doing your thing. It's greatly appreciated!

The calendar sync issue should be fixed in the next update.
Anyway, If I have enough time, the next update should contain a lot of new features. Your suggestions are already planned :good:
Jimbus369 said:
When you install a rom, especially a TW one, in most case you need a specific Bootloader to cause it to start and work smoothly.
....
The bootloader runs your rom with specific instructions, if the rom does not support an older bootloader simply does not boot. My rom does not support the older bootloader. A zip flash in this case cannot upgrade a delicate part like the bootloader. You need to flash the newer one with Odin.

One more question about this: The way you've worded the second paragraph seems to imply only that older bootloaders don't work with newer roms, so are newer bootloaders backwards compatible? Say I've got the PH5 bootloader installed and I want to restore a backup of the previous firmware, do I have to flash that firmware first?
Sorry if it seems obvious, this is how we learn!

Absolutely it isn't obvious, don't worry . The Bootloader, for my personal experience, are backwards compatible. I don't have a scientific knowledge about this, but for what I did with other device it can work. Just try :fingers-crossed:, don't forget a full backup.

T113/T113nu and T116/T116ny have a similar codename and hardware (The recovery have goyave codename, therefore any rom with goyave codename can be flashed). For the hotspot, maybe some missing libraries, a different driver or a different kernel makes hotspot broken. Try to restore your kernel from a previous backup.

[Z2Pro] Zui 2.5.462 OTA (Nougat) full rom+firmware update (Magisk+Xposed work !)

Hi !
This is a backup of the latest OTA of ZUI by Zuk/Lenovo, already configured in english, chineses apps uninstalled, and playstore/google services installed.
Magisk root and unofficial Xposed-Magisk for Nougat work on this rom !
(I've tested Youtube Adaway, Youtube background, Lucky Patcher, Adblocker reborn, it's working well)
Your not need to do a wipe, and you can keep your data if you come to 2.5.435 ZUI rom ! But you have obligation to install boot & firmware, because latest OTA by zuk upgrade both !
[Quick Charge is disabled by default when the screen is on, look the screen capture, it's normal, this is a new setting come with this latest OTA, you can change that on developper settings ! ]

I don't know how to merge XML translation into rom, sorry.
After receiving OTA update to 462 ST, SOT is reduced to 4 hours of moderate usage (usually 5-6 hours).. Phone temperature is a bit warmer, standby temp usally 27 C, now is 32 C, charging temp is around 37 C.. It's a thin phone, you can feel when the temperature is going up..
Is the OTA update works in this rom? In System Update app I have info: "Your system has been root, we are unable to provide the latest version of the system"
ZUI OTA doesn't support unlocked bootloader, rooted or not the phone just shows this message when the bootloader is unlocked...
Hello, someone has already gained some experience about this Rom, is there anything you should know? Thank you
Anyone can help making this rom multilanguage?
Is francko76 the only one who can help us, or can anyone ask the creator of AEX?
how exactly do I install this? after many attempts I managed to get it, thanks for this

You just have to put the files in your twrp backup folder. Make a backup yourself in order for the folder to be created and then with a file manager replace your files with the files of this backup. After that just restore it with twrp

[ROM]-Working MIUI 11 EU PIE for Mi Max 2 Oxygen [9]-[stable-ish]i

Android Version : MIUI-11-EU-PIE Easy recovery install.
You should be having proper knowledge of flashing Custom ROM and how to Restore a phone if anything goes wrong.
Take complete backup before taking any action based on this thread. I am not responsible for any action taken by you.
I am just compiling all the information / files available on different websites into this thread, I have patched together with cyber spit, bubblegum, and tape, for a pretty much fully working MIUI-11--EU-PIE running rom. With the help from Mohzuned. I have removed what I believe to be all of the bloat. We worked to modify a working pie vendor. Magisk v20 modified boot for root access, Just install magisk manager.
All Credit goes to respective developer/s. I request XDA moderator and or Developer of Respective files to let me know if I have forgotten to mentioned (give credit) their name in this thread. The Download Links are given directly from respective Developer/s.
You need the following two files to Test MIUI-11-EU-PIE on Mi Max 2 (Oxygen). This ROM recovery is ported from the Xiaomi RedMi with many patches and customized from various sources. This ROM maybe Stable enough for your daily use on Mi Max 2. I have access to two MM2 4/64 Global versions using a 1tb sd card one on At&t the other on Tmobile and MOST features I need are currently working.
1a. Treble Mi Max 2 Recovery 3.2.1 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528056270
1b. OrangeFox Recover 10
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ora...n.zip/download
2. MIUI-11-EU-PIE
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15lRb49s75rqVV0Kg8C16Eao_BuTPvBWr/view?usp=drivesdk
First step:
Start your phone into recovery and Flash a Treble recovery, if already not flashed. Restart into Recovery.
Click Wipe then Advance wipe and clear System, Vendor, Boot, Data, Cache, and Dalvick cache.
Second step:
Now Extract the Downloaded Rom files in Recovery backup folder. You should know where and how to Extract. (Use extract tool for android or pc then copy paste to recovery backup folder.)
Third step:
Click Restore and Select System, Boot, Vendor and Swipe to confirm. Wait for restore to complete. If any errors, Reboot recovery and try again. Or Mount the System, Vendor, Boot and try again. After Restore completes Reboot. Please allow 1-2 Minutes for first boot.
What works:
?
What doesn't work:
?
If I missed anything in the above, kindly let me know to include. If you make any further updates / patches that makes this ROM more stable / perfect or enables new features, please don't hesitate to message me to include in this thread.
I have an old PC running windows with 8gb max HDD at any one given time, So if you would like to make the recovery image into a flashable zip, I'd be happy to update/add it.
If you can afford it, Im trying to save for a computer from this decade, any help is appreciated
https://www.paypal.me/LiamMcGinnisIv
If you would like to use the boot, vendor, system, or any other files, All I ask is pass on the proper credits.
Any Others Who May Have Been Missed
Best of Luck and Happy Flashing )

May be it is better to do Port from Mi Mix 2S? Camera and Torch worked on that port.
Bro.......
I cannot find the fingerprint option in the rom..?
Firstly I upgraded from the nougat rom.,it made me to suck....it booted but instantly rebooted to recovery on every boot......
Cannot find the fingerprint option ..,Cannot add the face unlock option due to the camera bug...,it's harder always using pattern/pin.,? flashlight ? issue is negligible.....
But mi cloud has no issues and working fine able to login..
Home button isn't working.,full screen guesture option isn't seen in the rom..
May be it's because of the redmi note 4x....it might be good if it's from max3 or mix2s as u done previously.,only hotspot bug majorly
You are too good bro....,you are beastly fast and tough..,???

I do this for free for a phone I no longer use, please be patient.
Considering all sources from xiaomi are outdated, And this is being done again for FREE with modifications on an ancient netbook.
I also can now verify, I have a working modified vendor/boot image that will run gsi images, But again since problems with vendor no camera, Still working on it.
Sorry, I just asked. I understand your position and ready to test new changes
No need to wait for me to port.

WARNING! This won't work on a bootloader with version U4! Flashing won't work and so you will not be able to use this guide. Unfortunately, you can also currently not downgrade the bootloader, making it impossible to get any custom stuff (custom recovery, custom ROM, etc.) on your device...
Hello there! This is another guide from me here on XDA Developers! Today, I will show you how to install LineageOS 20 on an SM-T290 and SM-T295, and yes, it works on both! Let's get started:
Prerequisites​But first, make sure you have all of this:
An SM-T290 or SM-T295 tablet
TWRP (v3.7.0 recommended for SM-T290 and v3.5.2 for SM-T295)
Unlocked bootloader
1. Download LineageOS 20 ZIP from here (There stands it is for gtowifi, but it also works on the LTE model).
2. Choose the nightly build for the ZIP, it is very stable even though it is nightly.
3. OPTIONAL BUT I DO NOT RECOMMEND: You could also choose the recovery, but that's more like the stock recovery and I recommend you to keep TWRP as it has better features.
4. Download the ZIP that has the format 'lineage-20.0-YYYYMMDD-nightly-gtowifi-signed.zip'
- OPTIONAL: Download the recovery image for LineageOS 20 with the format 'lineage-20.0-YYYYMMDD-recovery-gtowifi.img'.
5. Download MindTheGapps from here.
6. Choose the one with the format 'MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64-YYYYMMDD_BBBBBB.zip'
7. Follow the links to download the ZIP file.
8. Place the LineageOS and MindTheGapps ZIP to an SD card or USB drive. If you choose to also take LineageOS recovery, you will also need to place the .IMG to an SD card or USB drive.
9. Insert the SD card or USB drive into your tablet.
10. Boot the device into TWRP.
11. Go to 'Wipe' > 'Swipe to Wipe'.
12. Then go once again to 'Wipe' > 'Format data' > 'Swipe to format'.
13. Go to install, make sure that it is not install image but as flash ZIP!
14. Use the select storage button to choose the storage where the ZIPs are saved.
15. Choose the LineageOS 20 ZIP and swipe to install.
16. Wait until it is done and now install MindTheGapps.
17. Optional step (depending on whether you have the following things):
- Install Magisk (root) ZIP if you have it. You could also do this later on.
- Install LineageOS recovery ZIP if you have chosen to use it. This can also be done later.
17. Click on 'Reboot system' or go to 'Reboot' > 'System'.
18. Wait until the boot is done.
19. Go through the setup, but WAIT! First read the step below.
20. Depending on whether you have LineageOS recovery or TWRP, you need to enable the option 'Auto-update LineageOS Recovery/LOS Recovery' in the setup if you have LineageOS/LOS Recovery and disable that if you have TWRP.
21. Once the setup completed, you are done!
That was easy to follow. Thank you.

Yes. I was previously running a GSI, but I like this better.
I'm not using Gapps, so I just skipped para. 16. I did install Magisk.
Does OTA update work with TWRP, or only with Lineage recovery?

It does work with TWRP. It uses an OpenRecoveryScript. If you have Gapps (which you don't have), you need to reflash them afterwards. Also Magisk needs to be reflashed, but it is much easier to do than the stock!
How does this tablet with LineageOS work now?
Has it become more responsive than the original Samsung ROM or does it continue to suffer from the same exasperating slowness that characterized it?

I'm not sure, but it has some good features though. Some parts are a bit buggy, but most are not. It's also much faster.
Hello, thank you for the installation guide. Used my T290 and everything was working perfectly fine... I then decided to use LineageOS for MicroG and also everything ist working...
LineageOS 20 for MicroG:
gtowifi
My other SM-T295 is now on Bootloader5 (T295XXS5CWA1) so I think there is no way anymore to get LineageOS 20 on it. I now ordered a "new" SM-T295, which is supposed to be on Android 9. When I use the Guide above, is the cellular modul and LTE working with the CustomRom? Or should I use the GSI? Why is it such a different between those two devices?

Hello there! LTE will not be included, but you have 2 workarounds:
Make a hotspot over Wi-Fi with your phone or any other SIM device
Use the GSI ROM, which may have support
Well, LTE doesn't work, because of this: LineageOS is made on base of the drivers and packages of the device. And, they are almost the same I think, that's why the other stuff will or should work. But, the SM-T295 also has a driver and/or package for the SIM, LTE and so. And because it was originally made for the SM-T290, instead of an SM-T295, it will not include those drivers and so the support for it. You could try a GSI, although I had issues with it. But I may have done it wrong or so.., I always say: if there is an official custom ROM, use that over GSI, because it was really made for the device and includes the drivers and packages for the device. Although I don't really know whether GSI is bad, it may also work correctly..., if you try GSI, and it doesn't work, you could take a look at this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-lte-fix.3925151/

Hello, I ordered a "new" T295 with Android 10, but it is T295XXU4BUD3 as well, like my old T295. Is there still no way to get LineageOS on it.
I must say I am very disappointed now. I tried so many things bought 3!!! Devices.. It is just to much work to get LineageOS on a tablet. Is there any (small Tablet) that I can put LineageOS on with LTE which is working. Man, I am trying this for 2 years now..... What about Sony Tablets?

Well, an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 with LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11). I helped someone today to get it on his device! It was very easy to do, so.
