official update to MARSHMALLOW 6.0 for LG MAGNA - LG Magna Questions & Answers

Hello people ...
Here it's official ... since two days ago the official update for our LG MAGNA for version 6.0 of Android.
We had to wait a long time .. but ... essentially it's there.
Contrary to what I expected ... it is very well done ... I mean the LG interface with this version of MM. The least I can say is that it is purified ... LG overlay is married to that of pure Android ... finished the coarseness of the characters and the colors too dull (for my taste) of LG interface .
Frankly I like it a lot.
It remains to wait for an opportunity to ... ROOT and a custom recovery (why not ... I'm always up for a custom ROM).
To come to this update ... it is only available for the CIS countries yet .. but .KDZ is available for download .. and it is this version that I installed CIS.
So for those who have received the update OTA .. it can install ... for those in a hurry (like me) .. or have ROOT their phone and install TWRP .. they can install this update via OTA ... so must follow this method.
I want to thank my friend Berong the XDA forum which was the precursor to try it and I was a big help to do it.
I put the method to the next post.

So ... to install this version of Marshmallow ... we will need the following.
Euuuh .. you are solely responsible for anything that may happen to your phone by following this method ... neither me nor xda forums are responsible .. blah .. you are warned .
So .. we will need:
- The .KDZ (V20A for CIS) of course available here : http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=237
- The LG Flashtool 1.8.6.527 utility from here : https://www.sendspace.com/file/df0h5a
- The extraction utility KDZ from here : https://www.sendspace.com/file/cqq0kk
- The LG drivers here : https://www.sendspace.com/file/6jtwob
First stage :
1- Download and install the drivers for LG
2. Extract the .KDZ
The purpose of this operation is to extract the .KDZ to use it in the flash utility.
To do this ..
- Download and Install KDZ Extractor ..
- Launch the application and select the file .KDZ
- Check all files (3) ... and click Extract KDZ
- When finished, we will have 3 new files (.DLL + .DZ + LIB).
Of these three the only files .DZ and .DLL will be used later.
3- INSTALL LG Flashtool:
- Download LG FLASTOOL RAR
- Unzip the archive
- Install it.
- Copy and paste the MegaLock.dll file in the installation folder (default c:\LG ).
4- Change Port communication :
- Connect the phone to the USB
- Go to Device Manager
- Find "Ports (COM & LPT)", click on the tab on the left to expand it. You should see "LGE Mobile USB Serial Port (COM)".
- Double click on "LGE Mobile USB Serial Port (COM)"> Port Settings> Advanced> next to "COM Port Number" choose "COM41".
- Click on "OK" and then "OK" again.
Here .. now everything is ready .. move to flash the firmware.
Second step :
- Switch off the phone.
- Go DOWNLOAD mode : off phone ... press and hold volume UP plug the usb cable (you are in Download mode).
- Launch LG Flashtool
- Select the manual mode
- Click on "..." and choose the .DLL file (the one extracted earlier from the KDZ).
- Click on "Add" and the choose .DZ file (the one extracted earlier from the KDZ).
- Uncheck upgrade dl and check board dl (very important).
- OK
- In the new window .. just click on yellow arrow (Top left)
- The flash process starts and takes about 4-5 minutes.
- Once finished .. it should display PASS
- The phone will restart
That's it ... you just have to configure your phone and enjoy.
PS: it may be that first start you come across a kind thing: FACTORY RESET STATUS .. then just do (thanks for BERONG) :
1. Remove Battery
2. Power on
3. Do not touch the screen when you see MINI OS
4. Hold power button while MINI OS visible in screen
5. A menu will pop out... Find NORMAL BOOT (+POWER) .
6. Tap that while holding the power button (by clicking simultaneously on several occasions on NORMAL BOOT and the POWER).
Enjoy.

I forgot what site I read about MINI OS workaround anyways credit to them It was not me who originally got that idea... anyways ...
I will just provide some screenies ...

Hello people.
For those who have updated their MAGNA to android 6.0 official ... and want to use the SD card as internal storage .. and do not find this option when formatting the SD card here .. taking method LG forum in SPIRIT on XDA. This method has been tested by me and successfully.
- Backup your data on SD because all data will be lost after formatting and encryption SD card (you can copy the latest since the backup on PC.
- Enable USB debugging mode in developer settings.
- Open ADB SHELL command (from the ADB folder .. shift + right mouse button ... OPEN A WINDOW COMMAND)
- List avaliable disks to get disk ID. It can be done with following command:
sm list-disks
You will get your SD Card ID (ex.: disk:179,64, which will be used in next step.
In our example the id is 179.64 for you ... you-remember number that is yours.
After that .. we have the choice of using any SD card or internal memory or half If you want to use only part of SD as Internal Storage and rest as standard Removable Disk, for example 50:50, ...
So it recapitulates the command line:
For all of the SD card :
adb shell
sm list-disks
sm partition disk:179,64 private
For 50/50 of the SD card:
adb shell
sm list-disks
sm partition disk:179,64 mixed 50
Remember that 179.64 is an example .. ID with you to put yours
Here is a screenshot of the command 50/50
Good luck.

I have the same issue, there's currently no root/CWM available for our phone.

I do understand there's a phone out called blade 2. I was under the impression that it was being referred to as the blade s to try and stop confusion with the zte crescent referred to also as the blade 2. It's my mistake as I should of read what firmware his phone was running in the opening post.

Root / Clockworkmode SUCCESS
Hi
I managed somehow to install clockworkmode and to root the phone.
So i was having problems like many others that "waiting for device" message and nothing happened .
I fixed this issue and i like to inform ,help others whos still fight with this problem.
This message is have to do with the zte drivers in windows , so everithing is just cause drivers !!!
So i'm using Win 7 64bit and now i tested at my office also on Win 7 32bit (both ultimate) and it worked.
What you need to download Recovery.img , superuser , usb drivers , from modaco webpage or there is in some other sites !
1. i extracted the 'adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip' to c:\ so we have C:\Android\
2. I append the C:\Android\ in the ENVIROMENT VARIABLES at PATH clicked EDIT then after the paths append ;C:\Android\ (copyed here the recovery.img and , Superuser-3.2-RC2-arm-signed.zip to the phone SD)
3. On my blade2 checked the USB DEBUGGING settings then connected to computer
4. At this point i opened the DEVICE MANAGER to see allthetime what happening with the phone drivers
5. I installed the usb drivers mentioned abowe. (and i was looking at device man to ensure that there is no error in drivers)
6. At this point i opened a COMMAND PROMPT from c:\android\ then i checked my phone with 'ADB DEVICES' command ,... list of devices attached P735T was written
7. now i type 'ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER' then the phone after 5-7 sec reboots to the Green android screen and stuck there
8. At this point my device manager lost ZTE HANDSET MODEM, ZTE COMPOSITE ADB INTERFACE devices and found a new one ,ANDROID with driver error !!! Important to set the DEVICE ISTALLATION SETTING in windows to use INSTALL DRIVERS FROM WINDOWS UPDATE IF NOT FOUND ON MY COMPUTER
9. i choosed UPDATE DRIVER from DEVICE MANAGER , and updating from the internet , after a while it found a driver and installed , and i got finally a working device named ZTE BOOTLOADER INTERFACE or whatever it was
10. At this point i checked with ADB DEVICES my phone , but dont worry its not seeing like before , but its communicating anyway !
11. so I typed the 'FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY RECOVERY.IMG' then it starts the process ,after 3-4 sec its finished.
12. now typed 'FASTBOOT REBOOT'
13. Phone restarts normally , then powered off , battery taken out for 10 sec , power button pressed for a while.
14. Restarted the phone by holding the Power button and Volume Down buttons until i entered in clockworkmode recovery !
15. Then i used INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD and choosed the Superuser-3.2-RC2-arm-signed.zip , flased and rebooted after.
16 Phone restart normally , i used ROT CHECK to check if my device is rooted , you found on the market.
17. YESS my phone have clockwork and rooted WOOW

Hi,
this manual is copied from xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (I can not post the link, try to google "356968-guide-how-to-rooting-your-zte-blade-ii" and it really works!! I've tested it. Respectively it is not copied, the user who solved problem (gjenck) with "android interface device driver" post his reply also here.
There is important notice: when rebooted to bootloader, the device really change from "zte blade" to "android interface device". I have windows vista and there was no "update online" option for the driver. So I googled "android device driver" and find it. It seems to be some generic android usb driver.

can someone do that? or is it really hard to do?

ReadBack Extractor mtk6260 - firmware backup utility for GT08, DZ09, GV08 and so on..

Link to the latest readback extractor thread
It is applying for mtk6260A watch phones as GT08, DZ09, GV08, T7, Iradish Y6, Q8, F8 and all variations
In short - if you intend to install in your smartwatch new firmwares, mods etc, before to initiate any flashing with the Flash Tool app (pushing that goddamn < Download > button) think twice, 'bove all better DO a backup for the original firmware, why so? because it's containing all original drivers hence you'll be able to recover 100% your watch in case of bricking.
How to:
First you have need of a full dump of your ROM. Assuming that you already got a Flash Tool 5.1308 and drivers, and you were at the point of flashing something (already chose the download agent and scatter file)
for instance let's say you have a DZ09 smartwatch:
1 - press < Readback > in upper menu and so < Add > in the middle menu
2 - click twice on the item appears in the main window, set name as ROM_DZ choose in browser the path and save
3 - set as Physical start address 0x00000000 and as Length 0x01000000 then ok
4 - press < Readback > in the middle menu wait 2 seconds and connect through USB your watch
5 - wait until the upload is complete (big green ring)
Now second stage:
1 - download the app I've built attached here (Readback Extractor mtk6260A 1.0.rar) and unzip it
2 - create a folder where you intend to keep in safe the original firmware and name it for instance DZ09-Orig
3 - do a copy of Readback Extractor mtk6260A 1.0.exe and place it inside the DZ09-Orig folder then click twice on it
4 - press <Load Readback file> and browse after the ROM_DZ file created before with the Flash Tool then open
5 - Wait about two minutes while the app will check bit by bit the integrity of your file
6 - If everything went ok and your file is healthy app will show " health 100% " so you can proceed to next step
7 - Press <Rebuild Firmware> and wait about 5 to 10 minutes (it has a progress counter there)
8 - When will appear the message " - ALL DONE!!!" close app and go back in the DZ09-Orig folder, now you'll find there 5 new files which are the original firmware kit ready to be flashed back in your phone anytime you want
AFTERWARDS READ ME story - Anywhere you search, there is no one to tell you explicitly how to extract from your mtk smartwatch the firmware kit
All says a halfmouth: Do a full < Readback > in Flash Tool, you'll do it being confident that from now on you say goodbye to any risk because you have A BACKUP hence you start flashing new firmwares. And the Big Brick is coming , you smile and get back to your < Readback > backup discovering that, sadly, you have a binary bulk at first sight good for nothing. It cannot be so useless, isn't it? after all it contains full dump of your ROM! I was in exactly the same situation, so 'cause I didn't find any answer I've started reverse engineering . . . and it worked, first I did it manually for guys being in the same situation, 've noticed that is a common issue so I had to choose how to help, simpler but dangerous (for you) way, to create a tutorial <how to> or the hard way (hard for me), to develop an app which will do all "cooking" automatically and I choose the second because in manually way there is a quite big "chance" to mess up with your primary bootloader which could get to a real tragedy - no modem - brickest brick you saw in your entire life
thanks
thank you very much!!! I was searching how to backup my firmware and I found this forum!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
make video pls!!

Unfortunately, my time is quite limited,follow the steps in tutorial, if anything is unclear ask here
Thank you Golem_ for this nice tut.
Unfortunately with my GT08 the FlashTool doesn't seem to start the Read Back process. I see the watch in device manager (COM4), installed the MTK VCOM drivers. I can even access the AT interface of the watch (when the watch is powered on).
The steps i tried to perform are..
1) power off the watch
2) start flash tool, start the Read Back
3) connect the watch via usb --> COM4 appears in device manager
4) flash tool detects watch on COM4 port
5) nothing further happens - Read Back won't start (not even after 1 hour of waiting)..

you have to load a scatter file from a compatible firmware (just for initialization, not for flashing)

Most common mistakes are not turning off the watch before connect to usb and connecting at usb before to start a command in flash tool. If these are not the issue then go in options/backup and restore and set on no action
Use your money wisely, DO NOT WASTE IT buying from GEARBEST
Issue not resolved yet...

Thanks buddy.
Removed battery, tried again - changed USB cord - tried in different port - but still gives same error - Also changed setting to no action in Option-> Backup and Restore.... Few observations - on attaching cable the device manager shows device as Mediatek USB Port (Other drivers present being MTK USB PORT, MTK USB Modem Port, MTK USB debug port, USB Modem Driver. All with a COM port assigned. Then it tries to connect and gives this error.
When tried using download with scatter files and Download agent it again gives error - META ERROR - ERROR in BOOTROM COMMUNICATION.
Can you please help - I am thinking some issue with set-up or drivers... Your suggestion? Thanks!

[GUID] Enable Remote SIM Access Protocol (rSAP) on the OnePlus One, using QPST

This guid shows two things:
1. How to enable QPST and USB diag mode.
2. How to enable rSAP.
Please notice, I'm not responsible for any damage in hard- and software of your devices, if you are following this guid. You do all on your own risk.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For this guid your device have to be rooted.
In the newer versions of OnePlus' CyanogenMod diag mode is disabled in kernal. Therefore you have to flash an earlier ROM. In this step download Calkulin's Stock Rooted XNPH44S ROM and store zip to your device.
Go to recovery and make a full backup. This is really necessary to preserve the state of your phone.
Wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache. ATTENSION: This will delete all your settings, apps and app data!
Install XNPH44S ROM
After rebooting system go to Settings -> About Device -> tab ten times on Build-Number to unlock developer settings. Than go to Developer settings and make sure USB debugging is enabled.
Download the package, containing driver and QPST
Connect your device to USB, go to Settings -> Storage -> USB computer connection and deselect both MTP and PTP.
For Win8 and Win10: restart with deactivated driver signature check.
Open ADB (Android SDK) and type following commands:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
Go to Windows Device Manager and open Other Devices node. There are two entries of our device "A0001". Klick right on the first one and choose Update driver software -> Browse my computer... -> Let me pick from a list... -> Show all devices -> Have disk -> Browse...
Browse to folder Driver in downloaded package, than open Win x64 or Win x86 corresponding to your system, select *.inf file and apply.
After seccessful installation there is a Modems node in Device Manager, containing node HTC USB Modem. Right click and go to Properties. In top of the Modem tab page is the information about used COM-port. Remember that COM<number>.
Go to QPST folder in downloaded package and execute setup.exe to install QPST.
Open QPST Configuration from windows Start menu, go to Ports tab page and click on Add New Port.... Type (the remembered) COM<number> to the "Port:" text box and OPO to the "Port Label:" text box. Than click on OK.
Active Phones tab page should now look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now you can use QPST.
Open EFS Explorer from windows Start menu. It may take a moment to read data from your device.
On left side you can see a folder tree like in file explorer. Navigate to /nv/item_files/modem/qmi/uim
Click right on right side and than Copy Item File from PC. Browse to EFS Entry folder of downloaded package and choose file sap_security_restrictions.
Close all windows and reboot your device. If you want, you can repeat the steps 10, 16 and 17 to verify success.
Boot to recovery and restore your backup.
Now go to Google Play and download app Bluetooth SIM Access Install and app Bluetooth SIM Access (Trial)
Open Install app and click on Install system files. The phone have to reboot after installation. If you want to verify successful installation, open app again, the desintall button have to be enabled now.
Enable your Bluetooth
Open Bluetooth SIM Access (Trial) app go to Settings -> Check SIM Access. If there no errors and several entries with green check marks, than rSAP is working now.
Files:
Package (On Mega click on 'download in browser')
ROM (On Mega click on 'download in browser')
Acknowledgement:
Thank you devilsshadow, for your tutorial, which showed me how to setup QPST.
Thank you Calkulin, for your ROM, which makes it possible to use QPST.
Special thanks goes to Martin , for developing his great apps and making our phones better.
Great! Thanks a lot!
Finally got my OPO working with my VW premium bluetooth car system
EFS Explorer crashes with a Runtime error upon opening sap_security _restrictions file.
Win 10 64Bit.
Edit:
Got it to work with the Frankenstein modem from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/firmware-modem-oneplus-one-lollipop-t3300907
Looks like it does not work with the newer modems, i was using bacon_firmware_update_2016_1-25_.4.0.1.c7-00011.zip
Hi, do you have further informatiom about the crash? Exact error message?
Did you try windows compatibility mode?
I used win 8.1 x64. Sorry I don't have win 10 to test it.
I used Win 10 Pro 64bit, and had no problems using the software.
Thank you very much for the precise description! I linked it from android-rsap
With my newly acquired OPO I first could not install the diag drivers. The USB id seems to have changed from VID_05C6&PID_6765&MI_00 to PID_676C. After changing that in the inf file the installation worked and I could run QPST.
Great. Thanks a lot.
Can i flash after enabling rSAP CM13, or will it disable rSAP again?
Thank you.
I'm wondering about this myself.
I was running jgcaap CM13 before I did enable RSAP. Took a backup of everything in TWRP first. And restored everything except EFS after (thought that if I flashed EFS I would loose rsap again, but I'm not sure). Everything is working fine btw

This seems to happen with more recent baseband versions. They require the "Factory Test Mode" (ftm_mode) to be set to allow changes. ftm_mode is NV item 453. It can be modified with the QXDM tool.
Now the value of ftm_mode is cached inside the baseband software. Currently I don't know a better solution than to reboot the phone. Sadly in some phones (OnePlus 2) the value doesn't survive the reboot.

RSAP (remote SIM access protocol) is a communication standard for free speeking systems. Eg. Volkswagen concern uses it in its cars. The SIM of your phone is cloned per bluetooth to your cars build in mobile phone module. The radio functions (calling/SMS) are disabled on your phone while connection and executed by your car. That is good for battery, electro smog in your car and connectivity.
But it have drawbacks too. No internet connection on phone while connection. This problem is solved in newer cars by providing a wifi hotspot, which uses the internet contract of your SIM.
Hi
If I open Bluetooth SIM Access (Trial) app, there is no "Check SIM access" option.
Did I do something wrong?

Hi, I think the check has moved to the installer app. See section 3.
Thanks
Altough I couldnt find anything in there too...
In the installer app I get 3 check marks:
System Files installed, Connect to Socket, Connect to SIM, all green.
Does that mean I have RSAP?
Do I need anything else?
Can I uninstall the app and keep RSAP?

I think so. Test it with your car. Thats the reason why the trial app exists. But you have to know that the trial app swaps numbers in contact, therefore it is not good for all day use.
I haven't uninstalled the installer app. In this app you can see updates for the system files. But the updates are seldom and if the installed version works for you, I think it's no problem to uninstall it.

[HOW TO]Guideline / Install MTK drivers / How to Root / Flash a Rom / IMEI Restore

In this Thread i will explain how to set up MTK drivers and Flashtools.

How to Install MTK drivers in Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10
what we need:
MTK Vcom Preloader Driver 2.0
Download : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911977169
First thing we need is to Disable the Signed Driver verification on Windows :
To disable driver signature verification, we’re going to need to get into the Troubleshooting options from the boot manager.
The easiest way to bring this screen up is using this secret trick.
Hold down the SHIFT key while you click Restart.

}
Once your computer has rebooted you will be able to choose the Troubleshoot option.
Then head into Advanced options.
Then Startup Settings.
Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your Computer one last time.
After restarting your computer a second time,
choose Disable driver signature enforcement from the list by typing the number 7 on your keyboard.
That’s all there is to it. Your PC will then reboot and you will be able to install unsigned drivers.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Now its Time to open SP_Driver_v2.0.zip and start the DriverInstall.exe
it will open the install prompt . Press okay and dont change the installation path
Code:
C: // program files / Mediatek / Driver Package
during the installation it will start the verification window security.
Click on Install this driver software anyway
There will be an Error Message . - We Ignore it !
-Now Open your Device Manager and leave it open.
-Power Off your Phone and connect it with your Pc.
-you will see Under ports ( COM & LPT ) a Preloader unknown device
right click on there and click on Driver update/installation.
-Choose manually search for drivers

Windows 10 MTK VCOM USB Drivers for 32 & 64 bit + Driver install tutorial
To determine the version of Windows 10 that you have (32 bit or 64 bit):
- Right-click on Start then click on System
- In the System window that opens, in System section, you will find your version of Windows next to System type
To disable Windows 10 64 bit driver signature enforcement:
- On your 64 bit Windows 10 desktop click on Start then on Settings
- Click on Update & security then in the left pane click on Recovery
- Under Advanced startup click on Restart now button
- Click on Troubleshoot then on Advanced options
- Click on Startup Settings then on Restart button
- The computer will restart with the Startup Settings screen
- To disable the driver signature enforcement until next restart press on number key 7 or F7 on your keyboard.
- After restart you can proceed with the unsigned MTK drivers installation for your 64 bit Windows
- After you install the unsigned drivers, to use them again in the future, you have to repeat this procedure
To install the MTK VCOM USB Drivers on 32 & 64 bit Windows 10:
- Download the drivers *.zip archive and extract the folder from inside on to the desktop:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012126
Right-click on Start then click on Device Manager
In the Device Manager Window click on the first item – your computer name
Click on Action then Add legacy hardware
On the Welcome to the Add hardware Wizard window click on Next button
Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced) and then click on Next button
Click on Show All Devices then on Next button
In the Add Hardware window click on Have Disk… button
In the Install From Disk windows click on Browse… button
In the next window – Locate file – browse for the folder that you have extracted on the desktop at the beginning
Select the version of the driver according to your Windows 10 version – x64 for 64 bit and x86 for 32 bit and click Open button
Click the OK button to load the driver
From the list of drivers select MTK USB Port and click on Next button

- MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port – for transferring the firmware to your device
- MTK USB DEBUG Port
- MTK USB Modem Port
- MTK USB port – for transfering PreLoader to your device (and recovery in case of bad or corrupt firmware)
Now we need to remove the device that we have installed but leave the drivers in the operating system.
To do that, in the Device Manager window we expand Ports (COM & LPT) section
Right-click and click Uninstall on the MTK USB Port
- In the Confirm Device Uninstall window make sure that the box Delete the driver software for this device is empty
- You need to leave the drivers in the operating system and only remove the device that you added
- Click on the OK button to finalise
Now, when you will connect your turned off MTK device to the Windows 10 computer by USB, the device will be recognized either trough a MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port interface or as a MTK USB port if it is bricked or it has bad/corrupt firmware. The SP Flash Tool will be able to transfer the firmware to your device trough this interfaces. Make sure you connect the device after you press the Download button in SP Flash Tool, as the communication interface will only be alive for 2 seconds if no data is being sent.

Lost IMEI Restore
A common problem many face in their phone is loss of IMEI no. This is results in no network detection by your phone. U can come to know you have lost your IMEI by checking Settings->About phone->Phone information. There under IMEI section you won’t be finding your mobile IMEI numbers displayed.
Don’t worry you can restore your IMEI’s. Just follow this guide and you will be able to restore your IMEI. I will split the tutorial into two parts.
BACKING IMEI :
-First step before performing all these things is that your phone should be rooted.
When your phone is in normal state with everything functioning install Root explorer and navigate to the below location
Code:
>ROOT>DATA>NVRAM>MD>NVRAM>NVD_IMEI>MP0B_001
-Now copy this MP0b_001 file to your SD card or PC whichever place you feel the file we be safer.
-Now download MTK Droid tools .
-Now extract the zip file and open the MTK droid tools exe file.
-Now in your phone turn on USB Debugging by going to Settings->About phone-> Developer options and there turn on USB debugging.
-Now connect your phone and MTK droid tools should be able to detect your phone. U should see a window like this appearing after your
phone has been detected.
-Now press the ROOT button present in lower right corner. When it asks Supersu grant in your mobile click allow. After MTK droid gets
access u should see a green colour box appearing in the lower left corner which means u have correctly granted access to MTK droid.
-Now click on the IMEI/Nvram tab. A window should open and click backup NVRAM and MTK droid tools would take a backup of NVram in
its folder.
RESTORING IMEI :
-Now when you lose IMEI first try this method. Now take the MPDB_001 file which you took backup at the first step and navigate through
Root explorer to this location ->ROOT->DATA->NVRAM->MD->NVRAM->NVD_IMEI.
-Now paste that file and replace the one present there. Set the permissions for that file as RWER-ER-E. Now reboot your phone and you
should be able to get your IMEI back.
If you still haven’t got IMEI open MTK droid tools and connect your phone and press ROOT again and give MTK droid tools root access.
-Now click on IMEI/Nvram tab and select Restore option and restore the NVram backup which you took earlier. Now reboot your phone and
you should be able to get your IMEI.
Extreme method :
-After performing all the above if you haven’t still got IMEI. Now switch off your phone and open SP Tools and connect your phone.
Click on format and format your whole phone. ( This wipes whole of the phone including NVram region ).
-Now flash stock ROM through SP Tools and after it completes start up your phone. ( Don’t be surprised. Your IMEI will still be in lost state
only ). Now root your phone.
-After successful rooting now connect your phone to MTK Droid tools and again press ROOT button and grant root access to MTK Droid
tools. Now click on IMEI/NVram tab.
-Now as you see in the image above you can see two boxes IMEI1 and IMEI 2. Now enter your device IMEI numbers manually in those two
boxes.( You can get your IMEI no’s from your phone box ). Now click replace IMEI. Now reboot your phone and you should be definitely able
to get your IMEI restored.

I have a solution for restoring IMEI:
In the dialer: *#*#3646633#*#*
OR
download "MTK engineering mode" app and start it
it will open engineering mode:
1/ go to "Connectivity" tab
2/ go to "CDS information"
3/ go to "Radio information"
4/ then select "Phone 1"
5/ At the top there is a command line "AT+" in it
6/ type AT+EGMR=1,7,"your imei number" (for example: AT+EGMR=1,7,"012345678901234")
7/ then hit "Send at command" (if you got error try to put space between "AT" and "+")
8/ go to "Phone 2" and type in the command line: AT+EGMR=1,10,"your imei"
9/ hit "send at command"
10/ restart your phone and it should work
You can check if it changed at Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> IMEI information
If your forgot your original IMEI numbers you can find them on the box of the phone
MTK droid tool recognizes my phone, but do not get the green button so root error. Granted permission in supersu.
If anyone is still struggling (like me) with the error: Initializing scatter file failed. Please check the name of the scatter which you load is legal
i solved by using SP Flash Tool 5.1552.00.000 downloaded from

Why on earth are you using such an old version of SuperSU?
You are probably using TWRP 3.0.0 which does not work on newer ROM versions. Try flashing TWRP 3.0.2-1.
Well i used it because it is said to work in this tutorial
The newer one didnt work either, as you said i think its the TWRP 3.0.0
I would like to download this http://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-3-0-2-1-4/
but i dont get any registration mails, tried to register with 2 different emails half an hour ago...
The version here on XDA is said to be only for P9000 Lite.
Edit: Ok got my login by using the forgot password function - the linked TWRP 3.0.2 and installing SuperSU 2.65 works.
Thanks!
also would like to know, can we fastboot the recovery as per all the other android phones i've used? And then custom ROM to our hearts content?

Yes. In Settings / developersettings enable oem. unlock Bootloader.
Then reboot to Recovery and go to power/ reboot to fastboot.
Then Unlock your Bootloader with the fastboot oem Unlock command.
After that you can use fastboot.
P.s: i didnt did that. But it should work

as i mentioned in my guide. very first of all remove all kind of mobile related drivers and xfstk tood if you already installed. it is very important to install soc driver before installing xFSTK. moreover before installing xFSTK and after installing isoc driver you need to power cycle and connect your device to pc. and use volume down button. change the right flag value. and when using xfstk. load files. click begin download. when it start waiting for device then power cycle it. it will itself force into download.
