I am posting this recovery on behalf of genokolar. No ads in the recovery for this version
Change log:
1. EXT4 support.
2. Large file system support (e.g. /data > 2G).
3. Updated reboot recovery mode.
To install (you need root):
1. Backup /cust_backup/image/recovery.img
2. Download, extract and place the recovery.img into /cust_backup/image/
3. Done.
To go to recovery:
1. Power off
2. Hold Vol+ and Power buttons to power on (hold both buttons UNTIL you see the recovery)
EDIT: If your phone won't boot with this recovery please try this. Credit to stockwell.

Thanks for the update Geno. Maintaing the current recovery version will help with RM integration.

Argh... just installed 3.0.2.8 recovery image today, should search for new version here first...
Anyway, thank you and genokolar

Thanks for this will update now

Does this backup the baseband firmware (or what stockwell mentioned that the Perfect Recovery didn't do before)?

No, my concern was actually that it DID backup both baseband and emmcboot.mbn, which could potentially brick if these files are corrupted on a bad restore.
This version still does this, though no one seems to have had this happen to them. I think since nandroid hashes the backups and checks them when restoring the problem only really would be if your phone was turned off while restoring, and even then bootloader mode might still work fine if those files are damaged.

Genokolar can you please make a self installer so that we can upgrade through previous perfect recovery.Thanks.

hi, i install rom manager but it doesn't recognize clockworkmod why?
thanks!

I don't think ROM manager supports the Ideos X5 (yet). Why would you need it anyway?

anyway thanks for your quick answer!

Hello all,
Maybe here is the right place to expose my problem. My Huawei X5 (and few others bought in Portugal from TMN company) are not running CWM v4.0.0.5. Booting in Recovery mode will be forever in "IDEOS" image.
No problem booting in Recovery mode either with original recovery.img or with CWM v3.0.2.8.
The problem is that with v3 there are problems flashing costum ROMs like FLB and void.
What is odd is that I haven't read a single complaint from any xda user in this forum... so maybe it is some problem with X5 sent to Portugal (!?).
Is there some way to debug the problem of the v4 in my X5?
Thanks.

Question...
Can I install MIUI Rom this way?
1) I don't root phone. I leave it as it is.
2) I do this "Backup your current ROM (Create ROM dump with SP FlashTool)" from codelover thread to back up my rom.
3) I unlock my bootloader using your this guide "Unlocking Bootloader (For International aka MY/TW set ONLY)" .
4) I download "H30-U10_LiveRecovery_TWRP.zip" and extract it to my computer.
5) Then I do this "Running Live Recovery: Use TWRP without flashing the recovery to device" .
5a) I create "Backup" using TWRP.
5b) I go on "Wipe" menu in "TWRP" and do factory reset one time.
5c) I come back on main menu of TWRP.
6) I click "Install" and navigate to my MIUI.zip and touch it to install.
7) After Miui.zip installation complete, I come back to main menu of "TWRP" then go in "Advance>File Manager>sdcard/dload and delete 'au_temp.cfg' ".
8) And at last I reboot and enjoy MIUI.
Is this correct? Plz reply soon..

1st Question, I bought my G530H from a Telco Company and when you turn ON the phone it has a Telco animation boot... does this method can remove that also? because it's sucks...
2nd Question, My phone is rooted, does this method will remove it? or any files and messages? because It sounds like It would reformat my phone....
THanks in advance!

I dont know whether it would remove the boot animation or not.. But theoretically speaking.. It should.
And yeah. It will remove the root. But It wont delete anything on your device. But it is always preferred to do a factory reset before flashing a new firmware. Or you might run into some problems later.
So, If you are planning on flashing it, Be sure to backup everything before you do. Precaution is better than regret.

Be sure to make App backup by using titanium backup. Thats the best app for backing up apps.
I have no Idea. I had kazhkistan firmware before. And Now I have indian firmware. Even though I am not from any of these countries. It worked for me at least. So, since you have the same 530H. Theoretically It should work for you too. I dont know.:silly:

[TOOL] [May 1] One-Click Backup & Restore EFS on OnePlus One

Hey guys just made this for one and all !
Backup & Restore EFS on your OnePlus One through ADB!
No TWRP Recovery needed!
UPDATED : MAY 1, 2018
YOUR PHONE MUST BE ROOTED​​
To Backup,
First you need to enable USB Debigging mode by checking Settings -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging. If Developer Options is not found, go to Settings -> About Phone and tap the build number rapidly 6-7 times till a toast comes up saying 'You're now a developer' (or something like 'Developer Options is enabled'). Go back. Voila! You see 'Developer Options' above About Phone in settings. - Thanks to @Heisenberg for notifying!
Just download the attachment, extract it to a folder, connect your phone to PC through ADB, double click on 'BACKUP EFS.bat'. When it says 'Press any key...' just press any key on your keyboard! You'll see 'modemst1.bin' & 'modemst2.bin' files in the same folder where you extracted the ZIP, make more copies and backup of it! That's your EFS!
DONE!
To Restore,
Connect your phone to PC through ADB, place your 'modemst1.bin' & 'modemst2.bin' in the folder where you extracted the attachment (it should be there if you never moved it after backing up) and double click on 'RESTORE EFS.bat'.​
DONE!
Hope this helps someone

Great idea. You might want to mention that you need to go into Settings/Developer Options and enable usb/adb debugging first, and to enable Developer Options you need to go into Settings/About Phone and click on Build Number seven or eight times. Also, the screen must be on and phone unlocked for adb to work.

Hey there, do you have any idea if this would work for a secondary from running via multirom? My primary rom COS12 is fine, but my secondary rom (CM11S) is showing with an unknown IMEI and baseband and has no wifi/signal etc. I have tried flashing the CM11s modem again on the primary rom but no luck.

Did you try it?

Never tried dual booting ROMs... (you're talking about that right?). See, as far as the mmc blocks for EFS partition are same, backup and restore should work. Find out what block contains EFS (if it's different for different ROMs while dual booting) and edit my code in BACKUP EFS.bat and RESTORE EFS.bat . You'll figure out it's easy!

Thanks for replying, I ended up trying a good old dirty flash and it seems to have restored the secondary rom's baseband and IMEI so its seems to have fixed it. I flashed another ROM (liquid smooth 4.4.4) via multirom and its working as well, so everything seems to be back to normal.

Whats the difference between your toolkit and others like "bacon root toolkit" ?
Will the efs backup still work, when i unlock the bootloader (wipes data)
Is this open source?
Does it matter what firmware your phone is?

I have 4 answers:
Dunno about bacon root toolkit, but from the name I guess it would be a toolkit for rooting, unlocking boot loader, flashing ROMs/Kernels, etc. (MAYBE efs backup too).
Yes it will work even if you unlock the boot loader. Why would you backup when you're not unlocking it!
Yes this is open source.
It doesn't matter on which firmware the phone is.

I meant after unlocking the bootloader which wipes all data, will the backup still be able to restore my phone data. this tool should be able to backup everything (contacts, settings, messages, apps and savefiles, etc...) and doesn't need to be rooted first right?

Unfortunately not. This tool will only backup and restore the EFS files from your phone. This tool is very useful if you ever lost your imei.....but only if you used it to back it up before you lost your imei.

I already tried Wipe and reboot. It is still in boot loop.
I am not sure what to do next. Is the Stock Rom corrupted? If so where would I get the stock rom and how would I restore it?
Please help.:crying:

I already tried Wipe and reboot. It is still in boot loop.
I am not sure what to do next. Is the Stock Rom corrupted? If so where would I get the stock rom and how would I restore it?
Please help.:crying:
Thank you kindly.
Charlotte.

Hi,
You should read my posts before flashing recovery. It's all explained here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-5r/how-to/how-to-root-blu-vivo-5r-t3492718
You can get stock rom from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-5r/how-to/blu-vivo-5r-stock-roms-bluv0090eev11-t3492756
And 100% working TWRP recovery is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-5r/how-to/twrp-recovery-blu-vivo-5r-t3492739
Your problem is lock oem bootloader. You need to unlock bootloader and folow everythink step by step. The most important is to press the volume up button for Yes, after pressing command fastboot oem unlock.. If you wont press yes, you get bootloop problem.
If you want to flash stock rom you need to use SPflash tool. You will need to learn how to use it first before flashing.
To unlock bootloader you can use ADB fastboot.
* Type adb reboot bootloader and press enter. The phone should now enter Fastboot (black screen with only fastboot written at the top or bottom)
* Type fastboot oem unlock and press enter. (Warning: This step will wipe all your data and factory reset your phone!)
* You should get a prompt on the device asking you to confirm Bootloader unlock, !!! press the volume up button for Yes !!! on your phone.
* You should now get a success message
* You can check the status of your bootloader lock, type fastboot getvar all and press enter.
See this ex. (bootloader) unlocked:yes
* Type fastboot reboot and pres enter
* You should now boot back into your phone.
You will need to complete the Android setup wizard at this point to get access to ADB command again.

Hi mirozeman,
Thanks for your response. Last night when I was in TWRP I selected the Reboot into Bootloader option. The phone booted into the bootloader. I did select Fastboot OEM unlock and select Yes.
I can't remember but I think it took me back to TWRP. Once I was in TWRP I chose reboot into system. It was stuck in boot loop again.
I will try it again tonight.
How do you execute an ADB command from a computer if the phone is in a Bootloop. The computer will not recognize the usb connection.
Can I flash the ROM by doing this:
1. copying the Factory Rom (zip file) onto a SD card and insert into phone
2 . Go into TWRP and click the Install button
3. navigate to the Factory rom zip file and install it from there?
Will this get me out of a boot loop?
or do I have to use the SP Flash Tool?
Thanks.
Charlotte.

My vivo 5R is alive again
Hi mirozeman,
My phone is up and running now. It is also rooted. Thank you for the well written instruction that you have provided.
I used it root my phone successfully.
I wish I had seen your instruction before I attempted rooting for the first time. It would have saved me a lot of grieves.
The instruction that I had used in my first attempt did not say to tap "Keep Read Only". It told me to swipe to allow modification of the system Partition. This is where it probably messed up my phone. TWRP was saying there was no OS installed, and I could not boot it. Stuck in boot loop.
Many thanks to the person who uploaded the Blu Vivo 5R factory ROM. I had to use the SP Flash Tool like you suggested and was able to flash the factory ROM on to the phone. Afterward, I carefully followed your instruction to install TWRP and SuperSU.
I am very grateful for all the helps and resources provided by this forum and members. You guys are awesome!
Many thanks again.

Hi mirozeman,
Just went to use my phone and it says "no sim or sim error". There are no imei's.
I thought everything was good. Now I have another obstacle.
What to do next?
thanks.

Hi guys,
I don't know what is causing this error, maybe you have different provider. Did you try other sim cards.
There is new update for this rom. Please can you try to flash newer rom and see if it will sort this problem. Thanks.
Updated rom here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-5r/how-to/blu-vivo-5r-stock-roms-bluv0090eev11-t3492756
If it won't help you can try to flash rom from other manufacturer. This rom is 100% compatible with Vivo 5R.

Thanks man. That's the ROM I had reflash on the phone. Maybe I need to go back to an earlier version that was on the phone? When I first got it, it updated from the server. Then I had an issue so I had to flash a the stock that was in your thread.
I'm on T-Mobile

It did. I flashed the newer update. Let it ran through the setup, and then factory reset. Sim was found and LTE works. Thanks for all your help and work
This phone will hold me over until the Note 8
