[Guide] Install Chinese Beta Firmware 6.4.16 (EMUI 4.0, Android 6.0) from 2016.04.16

Taken in parts from information provided by Gluk41 on the russian 4pda forum, here is a simple guide how to install the latest Chinese Marshmallow (beta) on your Honor 4c / GPlay mini:
Be aware that:
all userdata will be erased, TWRP recovery, gapps and root have to be redone
system partition is almost full, pico opengapps barely fit (better to remove some apps)
this is a developer beta version for the chinese market (but has all languages included)
Downloads & Installation
Flash TWRP from here and backup whatever you need
Download the complete 6.4.16 ROM here and copy the dload folder to SD card
Flash the region information for UL00 umicom / cn from TWRP
Reboot and all 3 buttons pressed until the installation starts
--
Update: For your convenience I put all 3 files in the Mega Folder
--
The 3 button method uses its own built-in recovery and can be used with TWRP installed! All 3 buttons might have to be pressed for quite some time (20sec or even longer) until it starts. The ROM installs fine with the correct region information, otherwise it will fail around 5%.
TWRP & root
TWRP will be replaced by the standard recovery and needs to be re-flashed. For Root follow the MM Root thread by inshaalmirza. I had to flash the current SuperSU 2.7.1 beta twice until it worked.
The pre-installed app 'Phone Manager' seems to block SuperSU from working correctly. You might not see the root request if you start an app that requires root. A work-around is, to manually start SuperSU before or after starting the app that requires root. The, request eventually will pop up after a few seconds. Either uninstall the Phone Manager or configure it not to block SuperSU.
Google Apps
This ROM comes without Google Apps and a lot of chinese apps pre-installed. The system partition is almost full. Therefore it is recommended to remove some of the chinese apps before flashing Gapps. Use the openGapps arm64 6.0 pico version, others will not fit unless you remove a lot of the pre-installed apps. Flash the Gapps via TWRP, reboot and let the phone settle for a few minutes. After unlocking, you will get a black screen. Reboot in TWRP and wipe all user data. After the next reboot, setup wizard should start and everything should be fine.
Enjoy but be aware, it is just a developer beta version.

In China the latest update is 6.2.1,not 6.4.16. I wonder where is 6.4.16 from.Sorry for my bad English.

[T-Mobile D6616] Updated Root Method Request

Good afternoon,
After MUCH research, I have arrived at the conclusion rooting the D6616 with T-Mobile's likely final Z3 build for 5.0.2 (Build 23.1.C.0.399 and, really anything past KK) is no longer possible without involving Kingroot.
Why does this matter? Because there may not be a feasible way to remove the most recent builds of Kingroot from the D6616 ROM. Using Kingroot's own uninstaller in the App settings fails and factory resetting using the ROM/stock recovery threw my phone into a bootloop. Other users report it successfully factory reset their ROM with kingroot installed as a system app and their device no longer rooted. I attribute the variety of outcomes to different software builds and Kingroot versions.
It seems as though the only working root method also uses ZXDualRecovery. Though I have not tried it, all procedures that show the ZXDualRecovery method of pushing recovery and superSU involved rooting the device with Kingroot first and removing it after SuperSU is installed. This appears to be the only still-working method of acquiring temporary root long enough to install recovery. The only way to remove Kingroot is to use flashtool and a new Sony TFT, which also removes root and recovery.
Has anyone successfully been able to pull off rooting a D6616 lately? I want to keep this phone but it is unfortunately useless to me without working root so I'll likely be returning it if nobody still has one that's running the last software with a locked bootloader.
I would really appreciate any help anyone can give.

I believe I have done it! I think SuperSU is ever so slightly ahead of Kingroot.
What I did:
1) Rooted via Kingroot app on Google Play. Run rootchecker after it's done its business to make sure. DO NOTHING ELSE IN THE APP. Doing so may prevent SuperSU from kicking its ass later.
2) Downloaded and upacked to desktop the file for Xperia Z3 from here:
http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZD...ecovery_2.8.26
Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26.-RELEASE.combined.zip
3) Disabled antivirus
4) Installed USB drivers via Windows 7 plug-n-play. Unplug phone.
5) Downloaded SuperSU recovery flashable zip from here:
http://www.supersu.com/download#zip
6) Ran install.bat from extracted ZXDualRecovery zip
7) Enabled developer options in phone, enabled USB debugging, revoked USB devices, rebooted phone, plug in phone.
8) Connect Phone, wait for device to register in windows.
9) Okayed communication from PC.
10) Place in USB Install Mode on phone.
11) Choose option 2 to install to device rooted by SuperUser. Kingroot has blocked option 1 (old method)
12) Enter TWRP (Automatic) and go to Backup, check all boxes, create Nandroid by sliding the slider
13) Reboot, ensure phone boots. Put SuperSU.zip on the external flash drive. Go to your new App: NDR Utils. Choose TWRP as Primary Recovery. Choose Reboot to Primary recovery
14) Flash zip for SuperSU. DO NOTHING ELSE. Do not wipe cache, do not fix permissions. Click REBOOT.
15) Launch SuperSU App. Attempt to update Binaries. It will not, but it will detect Kingroot, and somehow can get rid of it itself using onboard capabilities. It will do so and update binaries.
16) Reboot (Automatic via SuperSU)
17) Check to make sure SuperSU binaries installed by launching the app.
18) Reboot to recovery using the steps from step 13) above.
19) Create another backup using step 12) above
20) Reboot and DONE.
To the best of my knowledge, nobody has indicated how to do this in a clear Step-By-Step for the final build of this ROM. So because I've troubled you all for small chunks of the process I figured I would.
This applies to T-Mobile's likely-final software release for the Xperia Z3 android 5.0.2 on build 23.1.C.0.399.
DISCLAIMER TO ANYONE ATTEMPTING THIS: It appears Kingroot is "onto" what it is being used for. Given the behavior of this application, there is no reason for anyone to believe it is not a malicious program, but it is a necessary evil for this purpose. Newer versions of SuperSU are capable of removing Kingroot on their own, but alternative methods may be necessary. I attempted an earlier version of SuperSU and it was incapable of removing Kingroot.
It might remove via debloater. This is the only way to remove the system apps on this phone reliably, so you WILL need it if you intend to keep the bootloader locked. I couldn't get any root-enabled appstore app to do it including ES File explorer and Titanium Backup. It looks like you need a computer to remove system apps on this phone. Fantastic. Debloater works great though so don't be afraid to use it. Use the filter to search for Apps. You can remove them, but they will not be gone until you reboot your device. Hooray no more filecommander and lookout! Debloater can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/and...bloat-t2998294
Plug in your phone. Give it root access. Easy peezy.
Then Xposed current framework and installer:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=3034811
Version 3.1.1 fixed the bootloop problem, so you shouldn't need the fix zip, or at least I didn't. But if you do, you can find it here:
https://dottech.org/187028/how-to-fi...-z5-z4-z3-tip/
Flash the framework for your device in recovery (arm) and then the installer APK from the ROM using a file browser.
FINALLY Youtube Adblock and minimized playback. SCORE!
I think that's about it. That's literally the best we can currently hope for from this device. I think there is an Xposed module to heavily alter the look of the ROM here but I have not tried it. Plus it only claims to work w/ 4.4, and we have 5.0.1.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/...6#post71601966
For devicewide adblocking I use DNS66 since there are no proxy settings for adblocking on this device, unless I'm missing something. I really hope I am. This means there's no native adblocking.
Xposed modules worth using you can find by searching in the Xposed store: Blurred System UI (LP), Gravity Box [LP], RootCloak, Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons, Xperia Super Radio, YouTube AdAway, YouTube Background Playback. And of course DNS66 (PlayStore).
I have tinkered with the rest and find them of no value.

I followed the steps but SU didn't ask to update anything. It just opens up and everything is fine?
Then all I did was unistall kingroot(purify) and it looks like it's gone, but is it?

Just leaving this here, this is how I rooted on Android 5.0.2 with the D6616
http://nut.xperia-files.com/
Read the documentation that comes with the latest XZDualRecovery and flash SuperSU or whatever you want.

Were you able to install twrp without rooting first on your PC? It doesn't work for me. I did option 3, install on unrooted device.
Are you able to systemless root?

When I run the installation it fails at step 3 on the install bat.

Hi, a bit of an old thread, but has anyone had any success rooting the D6616 without using Kingoroot or Kingroot? Both are malware which are designed to not be fully removed and be as resilient as possible, and uninstall does not actually uninstall them...

Yes, the old method still works. Use the search feature. I'd just link you, but I"m busy at the moment.

i followed these steps, and have gotten to the point where you flash supersu and reboot, but i'm stuck in a reboot loop now. wanted to use this old z3 as a dedicated audio player, and needed to root for some audio enhancements...
edit: i did have TWRP for a minute, but now when i go into recovery it's the stock recovery again, with options only to continue booting, boot to safe mode, factory recovery or power down. the first two options return to a boot loop. can/should i attempt to use flashtool, or factory recovery? i don't want to accidentally wipe something i might need in the backup.\
UPDATE 10/19: I was able to get back to ground zero using Sony's xperia companion software repair. Flashtool 9.25 and 9.26 would never successfully install flashmode drivers, nor would it display the stock .ftf file.

this new method seems to fail for me on both of my old z3's. does the method you're referring to involve downgrading to 4.4.4? i've done some extensive searching of this forum (and the android development ones as well) but don't seem to be able to find any other info.

Galaxy J7 2016 (SM-J700T/T1) How to Root and Install Xposed

MM/N - How to Root Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016), Install TWRP, and Install Xposed. (SM-J700T/T1)​
Disclaimer​
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for any bricked devices. This is the way I did it, some steps may not be necessary.
I'm just sharing what worked for me.​
Preparation for ROOTING J7 (2016) :
● Enable USB Debugging on your J7 (2016)*
This is very important thing to be done before you try flashing a firmware or recovery file. USB Debugging mode make Android devices receptive to download and send data over USB cable connection. If you do not know how to turn debugging mode ON, do this :
● In your ROM, go to Settings -] About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.*
You will see a message that “Developer mode has been enabled” on your device.
● Now go to Settings -] Developer options : Tap it and go to USB debugging option and check the box to enable it.
● In the ‘Developer Option’ you will also find the ‘OEM Unlocking’ option, just enable it. (You need to enable OEM unlock, Otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on)*
● Install Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows to your Laptop/PC, Then connect your Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) with USB cable. It will configure driver automatically.
How to ROOT Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) :
1.] Download Odin, TWRP Recovery, Custom Kernel & Magisk files to your Laptop/PC.
2.] Turn off your phone, Go to download mode (by pressing Volume down+Home+Power buttons at the same time for about 6-8 seconds).*
3.] Press the Volume up button to continue.
4.] Open the ODIN file and run you downloaded on your Laptop/PC.
5.] Connect your phone to your Laptop/PC through orignal USB cable.
6.] When ODIN detects your phone, It will show added in the Log.*
7.] In ODIN click on AP and then select the twrp recovery file by ashyx(twrp_3.0.3-1_sm-j700t_23217.tar). under Options tab disable Auto Reboot. Click on start, The flashing process will start. Once the flash is complete, exit Odin and disconnect your J7 from USB cable. Press Volume down+Home+Power buttons at the same time until the phone turns off, then immediately switch Volume Down to Volume Up, while still holding down the other keys.
You should now see the TWRP logo on your screen. Swipe to Allow Modifications.
8.]*Mount Internal Storage in TWRP:*
Go to download mode again and Open ODIN click on AP and the select Stock based custom kernel (SM-J710F-Kernel-6.0.1-nodmv.tar) under Options tab disable Auto Reboot. Click on start, The flashing process will start. Once the flash is complete, Now exit Odin and disconnect your J7 from USB cable, you can pull the battery then place the battery back in again.*
Note 1 As per my experiences, it is recommended to flash the Kernel, then recovery and then "FORMAT DATA" (not only wipe) to disable encryption. Otherwise, TWRP will not be able to mount /data.*Now, use the back button until you're at the menu. Reboot -> Recovery. Now flash ashyx's boot image patch (no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx) to keep the system from re-encrypting.
12.] Use the back button until you're at the menu. Reboot -> Recovery. Copy and place topjohnwu's Magisk Stable or Magisk Beta zip file to your Internal OR External SD card.
14.] The recovery will start. Select 'install zip'.
15.] Go to and select the Magisk zip which you downloaded. Swipe to Confirm Flash. Flashing process will start. Now flash ashyx's boot image patch (no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx) to keep the system from re-encrypting.
16.] Reboot -> System.
ENJOY your rooted Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) !!
Install Xposed Framework on J7 (2016) :
Most Android users mainly root their devices only to install Xposed Framework. Xposed Framework is a powerful tool that enables you to modify your ROM as you wish using some tweaks. Xposed Framework can be installed not only on Custom ROMS but also on the Stock ROMS. So using Xposed you can add some tweaks to your Stock ROM or firmware and get the features of a custom ROM.
Preparation for Install Xposed :
Make a nandroid backup using TWRP (in case if anything goes wrong) before installing Xposed Framework.
With the Nandroid backup (which is an excellent feature on custom recoveries like TWRP) you can backup all your current state of your operating system on your device and save it in your SD card or on your Computer storage and restore it at anytime you want. Many people will have perplexity that, If their Stock ROM (Firmware/OS) is rooted would it be able to do a backup of their OS and can able to restore it?. Yes you can do backup of the current state of your firmware with the custom recoveries like TWRP no matter your OS is rooted and made changes by using root.
Steps to install the Xposed Framework for Galaxy J7 (2016) :
1. Open up Magisk Manager.
2. Go to Downloads tab.
3. Search 'Xposed' without the quotes.
4. If you are on Nougat, select the version for SDK 25. If you are on Marshmallow, select the version for SDK 23.
5. Select Install.
6. Reboot.
Enjoy the Xposed framework on your Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) !!
How to use Xposed Installer :
1. Go to Xposed installer app on your phone and select Download.
2. Download and install the different modules you want to tweak your phone. After downloading a modules please don't open the app until you enable it on Xposed framework by going to Module section on xposed installer app and selecting it on the check box there. Then restart your phone to use the module you have installed.

Your guide will be helpful to those still on MM, but why do you have a part in your instructions about flashing a kernel for the J710 (which is the j7 2016, for the j700t which is the 2015) and a totally different phone. If users flash that kernel they WILL bootloop their phones. And the vyper kernel is a nougat kernel and will not work with a MM rom. At all. Fyi, if anyone flashes any kernel, root must be flashed after and the encryption breaker. Each kernel every time. Not being a **** just noticed some issues and figured I'd help clarify

You're right, it was a bit confusing, I'll just take out the part about the kernel.

Wait so have you tested the Magisk Xposed for nougat? I think it's in beta and I am quite terrified of trying it...

Topjohnwu says the behavior should be identical to the original zips. Official xposed for nougat was released a while ago with 'some fixes to Samsung roms' , and some people said they got it to work by deodexing their rom. To avoid that step, we use the magisk xposed. If you are willing to deodex your rom, then you can try the official xposed.

Someone here to see if he has the same problem, it turns out that when I try to rotate the screen, like watching a video on YouTube, the phone restarts only a little research and it turns out that the error is caused by Xposed no matter if it's the official version or the magisk version causes the same error, I'm in stock J700T nougat obviously someone is passing this error

[GUIDE] Root using Magisk, keep stock recovery for OTA

This is a guide for people who want a rooted MIUI. It will keep stock recovery and system partitions untouched to allow MIUI OTAs to install without problems. It will also pass Google's safety net test so bank apps keep working. The best of both worlds really
Requirements:
- Unlocked bootloader
- Windows PC
- fastboot (present in the miunlock app folder)
- Latest TWRP (download here)
- Latest Magisk (download here)
Steps:
- Install latest Magisk app
- Put latest Magisk zip on your device storage (SD)
- Shut down device
- put latest twrp.img in miunlock folder
- Connect phone to PC
- Press volume down and power button to boot to fastboot mode
- Open "Command Prompt" on your PC
- Type: (without quotes)
----- "cd C:\Users\[your name]\Desktop\miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10" . (or wherever the folder is)
----- "fastboot devices"
----- "fastboot boot twrp.img"
- In a few seconds, TWRP will boot on your phone. DO NOT swipe to make changes to system.
- In TWRP, flash the Magisk zip
Enjoy root

Same as my question. Let say system partition won't touch by root, but twrp is installed over the Mi stock recovery. Will it install Eta?

This guide DOES NOT flash TWRP. Stock recovery remains so OTA updates work.
The only thing that is touched by this guide is the "Boot" partition to install magisk. You can restore stock "Boot" using magisk manager's uninstall option at any moment and be 100% stock again.

Ok, but is Xposed etc. possible?

Well... That's I mean, boot TWRP using adb
After have TWRP, how can i get update via OTA?

it successfully worked for Redmi Note 4 global beta/stable MIUI9.2
even installed camera api 2 using magisk module

Just a quick question. I've TWRP right now with SuperSU. So I'll remove SuperSU, flash Magisk in TWRP. All good till now, but I'd want the stock recovery, a flash-able zip maybe. How can I get it? From where?
**[EDIT]**
Okay. One can get it from fastboot ROMs available at MIUI website (here), extract the pack and get recovery.img.

Installed successfully on miui 9.2.1.0 stable
Now when a new update for magisk is released, how should i update it??

I have two questions:
1. Why does the bootloader need to be unlocked and how can I do that?
2. What happens to Magisk if I install an OTA?
I'd like to keep the phone untouched but I need to change emojis and with Xposed I can use Youtube in background.

1. sign on en.miui com and you can use xiaomi unlocker (after 72 hours)
2. two OTA updates and I had to reroot it

Do you mean this?
When an OTA is available, please go to Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images. Do not reboot immediately or you will have Magisk uninstalled. This will restore your boot (or dtbo if available) back to 100% untouched stock images in order to pass verifications. This step is required before doing any of the following steps written below!
