Downgrade - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I installed MIUI 8.2.5.0. But I want to roll back to 8.1.. How likely am I to brick my phone without performing all data wipe? My BL is locked and since the PC suite is not working I can't get to recovery without unlocking the device and I don't want to do that.

Use Mi flash tool. Download the fastboot ROM of your device and the version you want to roll back. Install all the device drivers. In flash tool, select all except storage of the tool detects your device, flash it.

So flashing it from Updater in settings using a zip file is not a good idea?
Thanks for your help anyway.

1. Backup your data
2. Download the miui 8.1.1.0 from here - http://bigota.d.miui.com/V8.1.1.0.MALMIDI/miui_HM3SGlobal_V8.1.1.0.MALMIDI_874f56cdc1_6.0.zip
3. Flash it via updater app.
4. Factory reset your phone.
5. Enjoy
I used the same method and I'm very happy with miui 8.1.1.0

Thanks, that's all I wanted to hear. Running 8.1. again and it didn't even brick my phone ?

Can you please help me?
1) What do you mean by "Flash it via updater app"?
[When I try the "Updater" App, in the menu I choose "Choose updater package", choose the ROM from your link, click "OK" then I get "Can't verify update - Sorry, flash older version is not allowed" after maybe a minute]
2) do you have a link for the last ROM before 8.5.3.0?
Best Regards

Here is indonesian forum. But you can download older rom from it. Scroll until you see this section

Just use the fastboot ROM and flash it via Mi Flash Tool

A few questions to help me clear my confusion ?
4.After flashing it will load you into the Rom = .184 stock rom from raw .184 ?
6.After that, our Full Rom, rename to update and sideload = .184 stock rom
Any particular reason why we would need to sideload stock .184 rom -- when we are in .184 stock before putting FOTA 6.0 to internal ?
is it patched the 2nd .184 ?
@Russiamen did you make modifications in the 'full rom' zip file, or is it the same zip file that we can download from Asus site?
And I have the same doubts that @timbernot 's ones.
There is an newer MM build (V4.21.40.78_20160624_7972). Could I flash it instead the provided FOTA?
do you have a download link for 78?
after this steps the rom will rooted or have to root it?
Thank you for your guide

The Raw link for Z00A says "nothing found," and the FOTA for the Z00A says it needs a decryption key.
So this guide is to update your bootloader to the marshmallow firmware. So you can install Marshmallow based ROMS?
The reason I'm asking is because i've Unlocked my bootloader and installed the latest version of TWRP 3.02.0 Z00A and I was on android 5.0 on stock ZenUI. I'm getting Error 7 everytime I try to install a ROM. I'm certain i'm installing the correct ROM for the device. I've also wiped the device, cleared the cache, ect. And still nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.
hello,my zenfone ze551ml might be going to upgrade to mm 6.0, please tell me is it marshmallow stock rom camera better than 5.0? is it 6.0 have setting sd card become internal storage? is it 6.0 have mass big storage not just mtp when connected to pc ?

How to unroot and get locked bootloader again

Hi, I rooted my tablet about 2 months ago - Now I have root and TWRP. Now I need to remove root and put a stock image with locked bootloader.
Do you think I can do it by my own? (for example, with fastboot?)
Many thanks

Hi,
You can achieve this by following methods.
Method 1
Since you have TWRP
you can flash the stock firmware from TWRP and it should lock the bootloader, unroot and then overwrite the twrp with stock recovery.
What you need?
For this method you need the stock firmware zip files and firmware finder app from google store.
Method 2 (risky, not recommended)
Download SRK tools by somboons
From here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66627615&postcount=2
Unzip the file
Open the application
Then on the main screen, you will have plenty of options to type 1, 2, 3, etc..
Just type 000 to enter the command prompt here.
Once you are in that command prompt you can type the adb commands.
to lock the bootloader you need to type
fastboot oem relock xxxxxxx (just check this command. I think
xxxxx is your bootloader unlock code (yes you have to use the unlock code here again)
this will relock the bootloader.
now to unroot
you can just flash stock firmware using dload method.
How?
download the stock firmware
extract the update.app
put this update.app in a dload folder in sdcard.
you have to create this folder on sdcard and name it as dload.
then you can use the code from dialer pad
*#*#2846579#*#*
from there select SDcard upgrade.
It will reboot and flash the stock firmware. You no longer have root. It will also overwrite the twrp recovery with stock recovery.
I would recommend the method 1. It is safe, easy and should complete the desired tasks within no time.
Method 2 has lot of steps and there is risk involved so I cannot recommend this procedure as confidently as the first one.
I have the Huawei Mediapad M3 LTE version and also Huawei Mate 8. There are few similar functions in Huawei devices.
So now the question is where you will find the stock firmware?
You can find the stock firmwares using firmware finder app in google store.
From here -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder&hl=en
Install the app.
Open the app
It will automatically find the right firmware's by detecting your tablet model.
All links might not work
So check the one that is working and download that firmware - preferably full firmware.
You will get the zip files if there are two or just one.
then you can follow the method 1.
Hope this works out for you. Hope you find this information useful. :good::good::good:
Hi and many thanks for your kind response!! I tried as you adviced, the problem is that now i have a custom rom and this is the reason, I suppose, for which, every firmware i try to flash, it says "this version is not compatible with the one installed". For what you know, is there a way to flash the firmware without it to check the one already installed?
Thankssss again!!

Hi,
Can you give me more details about your tablet ? It will be in settings - > about device
like
tablet version - is it BTV-DL09 or BTV-DW09?
DL09 is the LTE version
W - is the wifi version
which OS are you running currently?
TWRP version ?
How did you try to flash ? When method did you follow?
I don't know if there is a way to check what you are asking. But we can certainly resolve your issue.
When I was flashing and experimenting on my Huawei Mate 8 last week I came across similar errors. That time I had to dload rollback package from SDcard and then I flashed the EMUI4.1 OS to get back to stock. Now I feel that is the case with your tablet too.
Process is same for both devices. But the files used to flash are different (naturally). That is why I am confident that we can try to come up with a solution.
Point to note
to flash stock rom, the following play a key role.
1) bootlocker - locked
2) recovery - stock
3) Rollback package ( this was really file for Huawei Mate 8, but is it important for Huawei Mediapad M3? I will try to find out).
At the moment, you have custom OS and custom recovery.
so best thing to do is flash the Stock ROM zip files from TWRP. I explained why it is better to do it this way.
Were you able to get the stock rom zip files?
Also please answer all the questions in this post so that I can help you better. :good::good::good::good::good:

Android 6.0, EMUI 4,1, Greatslon mod B030
TWRP version ?
Twrp doesn't start anymore and so did root. This happens since yesterday, after installing the custom rom.
How did you try to flash ? When method did you follow?
I installed firmware finder and tried the following firmwares :
BTV-DL09C233B332, 1273 MB, OTA
BTV-DL09C233B035, 173 MB, OTA
BTV-DL09C233B030, 1801 MB, FULL
and always I get the same response : your firmware version is not compatible - upgrade failed.

ok
so your root doesn't seem to work
you don't know if you have custom recovery
you are using EMUI 4.1
1) do the factor reset from the settings > go to -> Settings -> Advanced settings - > backup & reset - > factory data reset
do this - it should take few minutes
2) then -> developer options - > turn on "oem unlock" and " usb debugging " - on
3) please download the srk tools - I think I gave you the link to that software in my previous posts - > please download - extract keep it ready.
4) open the SRK tools - > type 000 in the place where it asks you to type 1 or 2 or 3 .. - you should get command prompt
5) Now press volume down button and hold .. and then connect your tablet to computer ( you have to enter bootloader mode)
6) now we need to lock the bootloader - so run the adb command ( for this you need to put the tablet in bootloader mode )
fastboot oem relock xxxxxxx or fastboot oem lock xxxxxxx
yes you will need the unlock code and in the above command replace the xxxxxx with your unlock code.
lock your bootloader.
7) it will do factory reset - and then your bootloader is locked.
Now at this point you have bootloader locked and you have normal firmware but since you want to go back to stock rom
I am still not clear about the build number. Can you give me the build number ? its in settings - > about tablet - > mine is BTV-DL09C100B006
Model number you and I have the same version. BTV-DL09. But it is the build number which matters.
I checked the firmware finder - unfortunately it is not giving the full firmware - only ota updates.
so the factory reset in the first step above is very very crucial.
The other safe way to get the firmware is through Hisuite
for this you need Hisuite software - you can either go forward to B009 or if it is giving you that option to switch to earlier version then you can go back. But I highly doubt it will give anything. So just try to go forward with B009 ROM.
try all these steps... see if you can succeed to any extent. In the mean time I will try to search for full firmware and if I do I will update this reply or give a new reply.
My name is Sam Hope this works out for you. Don't worry if this doesn't work then we will think about alternatives. But these are very important steps. Good luck. :good::good::good::good::good:
Cheers!

Update: After going through some of the threads on xda I came across one russian website
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=780572&st=0#entry54523165
you can check the firmwares. They are all custom firmwares. But I am not sure if the version is compatible. check if your tablet buildnumber is BTV-DL09C100B006 or BTV-DL09C233XXX . that is something you need to be careful.
update2 :- http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php
this link contains all stock firmwares - but they are all OTA and not Full package.
I have the US version (I believe it is distinguished as BTV-W09C128Bxxx). Using the firmware finder, it appears the only old firmware available for my build is B001_demo and it's only an OTA. If my goal is restore stock recovery, will downloading this and flashing this do anything? I currently have greatslon's TWRP rooted running stock firmware version BTV-W09C128B002. Thanks!
Btv-w09c128xxx

if you check this Russian site
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php
you will find 8 matches for your model.
unfortunately, all are OTA and not full firmware. OTA is good for updating from lower version to higher version. But for downgrading or returning to stock I am not sure. In my experience, I always used the FULL package.
your current situation
1) you have TWRP
2) Rooted ( so bootloader unlocked)
your options
1) Returning to stock seems to be difficult. Only possible way is Hisuite but it won't recognize your device as your tablet is rooted and bootloader unlocked.
To return to stock
a) you need stock recovery ( you will get this once you flash Stock rom in twrp or through erecovery - download stock rom)
b) bootloader locked (this is possible by adb commands using SRK tools )
c) Stock rom (this is the problem - I couldn't find a single site which is hosting FULL stock rom )
d) rollback package ( If there is one, Huawei had it for Huawei mate 8 but for mediapad m3, does it have? I don't know) - I hope this is not mandatory. We should be able to get the job done using a,b,c . previous points.
From my experience, I found that if you have a, b, c you can go back to stock easily.
I saw another Russian site where they have custom roms. But you have to be careful. Check if the version they put out is compatible with yours. You mentioned that your tablet version is BTV-W09C128Bxxx. It looks they have custom roms for BTV-W09C233xxx Can you flash this firmware on your tablet? that is tricky and can be risky too. If any one has done it, then it would be nice if they can share their experience.

The OTA in the firmware finder is not enough to go back to stock. You can try but I am not hopeful because it is not complete firmware and it might get stuck in between or fail.
For now. you can do factory reset from TWRP. That is the only thing that seems possible. Without stock rom or rollback package, it is very difficult to go back to stock. But if you manage to get stock rom for your device. Then flash it in TWRP. Once it completes you will have stock rom installed on your device.
Hope you find this information useful :good::good::good::good:

Thanks for the reply and the useful information. It seems as though I'm out of luck unless I can find a FULL stock firmware package. However, you did mention that I can use Hisuite? Even though I am unlocked, TWRPed, and rooted, Hisuite still does recognize my device (I think it's because I'm on stock rom). When I click on System Recovery it just says "Your device system is running properly and does not need to be recovered." Is there another method I can go through using Hisuite to restore stock recovery?

That's great news.
Good that your tablet was recognized by Hisuite.
For system recovery to work. You have to press volume down and then connect the tablet.
Did you do it this way? I think you did.
Do you have "update" or "restore" option in Hisuite?
If yes when you click on "update" did you get "switch to earlier version" If it gives that then yes you can try but even then we have to keep fingers crossed until it completes the process successfully.
One more thing you can try is using HiCare. But this is for updating to nougat or for OS early adopters.
All the options are coming down to stock rom. If you have one stock rom. Then you can flash it in TWRP or extract the update.app and dload it using 3 finger rule.
Full stock rom - that is the key here. Is it possible for you to get the stock rom for your device? So far I found only OTA's from those Russian sites or custom roms for different models. It will be great if can find all stock firmware's for all the models. It will help many people. Since my tablet was working very well, I didn't think about rooting at all. Mine is BTV-DL09C100B006.
One last option is Unroot your tablet using Supersu app. And then flash boot.img (it is recovery.img not boot.img) from one of the OTA firmwares. that way you can get back to stock firmware. But this is tricky. You have to be very careful about this. If anything goes wrong here then you won't be able to boot into tablet. That is why I cannot recommend this option.
Sorry I made a mistake in this post. It is recovery.img not boot.img. Please be aware.
You can try - Factory reset - from inside the OS or from TWRP. :good::good::good::good:

You can try - Factory reset - from inside the OS or from TWRP. :good::good::good::good:

1) When you say pressing volume down and connecting the tablet, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean from power off? Anyways, from a power on state, I tried using the Update process within Hisuite and it downloads the B003 firmware, then boots into recovery (TWRP), attempts to flash it, fails, and then I manually have to hit restart system within TWRP.
2) I downloaded an OTA update.zip and could not find a boot.img.
3) Also, what does factory reset from inside the OS or from TWRP do exactly?
Thanks again!

I am sorry. I should have explained it better.
Pressing volume down and holding it for few seconds and then connecting to computer will take you to bootloader mode.
Then you can do the system recovery.
Yes, if you have stock recovery it will go smoothly. You have BTV-W09C128B002. So you need boot.img of the stock firmware belonging to this OS. then you have to flash that using the below adb command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this should get back the stock recovery. Once you have this. You can try the Hisuite again, this time hopefully it should complete the process.
- you have the update.zip - > extract the update.app -> use Huawei update extractor (software in the attachment) -> extract this zip - > run Huawei UpdateExtractor - now open the update.app - > you will be able to see the recovery.img extract it. Flash it using the adb command in SRK tools.
you can download SRK tool from here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66627615&postcount=2
Open this tool - > type 000 where it is giving you an option to type 1, 2, or 3 etc.. you will get command prompt . there you have to type the fastboot command to flash the boot.img.
But once again. Just want you to know this process is risky. Wrong file or if anything goes wrong you won't be able to boot into your device. So please be careful. It is risky. Please do not proceed with these steps. Flashing the stock rom is the right way. Or Hisuite. Those are safe methods. But not this.
Factory reset from inside the OS means - > go to settings - > advanced systems -> backup & reset -> factory data reset
that will do the factory reset on your device.
or
since you have TWRP. you can boot into TWRP - go to wipe - > there you will have factory reset. you can do it that way too.
I apologize for not explaining properly. I am sorry I made a mistake. It is recovery.img not boot.img.
Hope you found this information useful. :good::good::good::good::good:
Hi Sam!
unfortunately the custom rom I put 2 days ago hiddens the build numer (it says "B030 greatslon mod") but I annotated the previous one, which was the one you said "BTV-DL09C100B006".
Now I'm at work but this evening I'll try to do what you adviced. Thanks again and have a good day

Yes, I continue to find your information very useful!
I have downloaded the Huawei Extractor and was able to use it to extract boot.img, fastboot.img, and recovery.img. However, this is for B003 and I am currently on B002. B002 does not appear to be available through the links you previously provided (neither OTA nor Full). Using B003 extracted files, what would be the proper sequence of flashing? Should I install the B003 boot.img first, hope that it boots into fastboot, and then flash B003 recovery.img in fastboot mode? How do I even go about installing B003 boot.img? Through SRK tools or adb? Or is this all too risky, and I should not even bother with B003 OTA files while I am still on B002?
Thanks again!
Hi Sam!!
I recovered my huawei unlock code and tried to relock the tablet, after having resetted it to factory (remember I still have custom rom).
After putting the tablet in bootloader mode and typing the following command on sk tools:
fastboot oem relock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (my unlock code)
I get:
....
FAILED (remote: stat not match)
finished. total time: 0.00 secs
I also tried "fastboot oem lock xxxxx" but it says "command not allowed".
Do you have ideas? I am blocked there...
Thanks!!

Hi,
You can achieve this by following methods.
Method 1
Since you have TWRP
you can flash the stock firmware from TWRP and it should lock the bootloader, unroot and then overwrite the twrp with stock recovery.
What you need?
For this method you need the stock firmware zip files and firmware finder app from google store.
Method 2 (risky, not recommended)
Download SRK tools by somboons
From here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66627615&postcount=2
Unzip the file
Open the application
Then on the main screen, you will have plenty of options to type 1, 2, 3, etc..
Just type 000 to enter the command prompt here.
Once you are in that command prompt you can type the adb commands.
to lock the bootloader you need to type
fastboot oem relock xxxxxxx (just check this command. I think
xxxxx is your bootloader unlock code (yes you have to use the unlock code here again)
this will relock the bootloader.
now to unroot
you can just flash stock firmware using dload method.
How?
download the stock firmware
extract the update.app
put this update.app in a dload folder in sdcard.
you have to create this folder on sdcard and name it as dload.
then you can use the code from dialer pad
*#*#2846579#*#*
from there select SDcard upgrade.
It will reboot and flash the stock firmware. You no longer have root. It will also overwrite the twrp recovery with stock recovery.
I would recommend the method 1. It is safe, easy and should complete the desired tasks within no time.
Method 2 has lot of steps and there is risk involved so I cannot recommend this procedure as confidently as the first one.
I have the Huawei Mediapad M3 LTE version and also Huawei Mate 8. There are few similar functions in Huawei devices.
So now the question is where you will find the stock firmware?
You can find the stock firmwares using firmware finder app in google store.
From here -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder&hl=en
Install the app.
Open the app
It will automatically find the right firmware's by detecting your tablet model.
All links might not work
So check the one that is working and download that firmware - preferably full firmware.
You will get the zip files if there are two or just one.
then you can follow the method 1.
Hope this works out for you. Hope you find this information useful. :good::good::good:

ok
so your root doesn't seem to work
you don't know if you have custom recovery
you are using EMUI 4.1
1) do the factor reset from the settings > go to -> Settings -> Advanced settings - > backup & reset - > factory data reset
do this - it should take few minutes
2) then -> developer options - > turn on "oem unlock" and " usb debugging " - on
3) please download the srk tools - I think I gave you the link to that software in my previous posts - > please download - extract keep it ready.
4) open the SRK tools - > type 000 in the place where it asks you to type 1 or 2 or 3 .. - you should get command prompt
5) Now press volume down button and hold .. and then connect your tablet to computer ( you have to enter bootloader mode)
6) now we need to lock the bootloader - so run the adb command ( for this you need to put the tablet in bootloader mode )
fastboot oem relock xxxxxxx or fastboot oem lock xxxxxxx
yes you will need the unlock code and in the above command replace the xxxxxx with your unlock code.
lock your bootloader.
7) it will do factory reset - and then your bootloader is locked.
Now at this point you have bootloader locked and you have normal firmware but since you want to go back to stock rom
I am still not clear about the build number. Can you give me the build number ? its in settings - > about tablet - > mine is BTV-DL09C100B006
Model number you and I have the same version. BTV-DL09. But it is the build number which matters.
I checked the firmware finder - unfortunately it is not giving the full firmware - only ota updates.
so the factory reset in the first step above is very very crucial.
The other safe way to get the firmware is through Hisuite
for this you need Hisuite software - you can either go forward to B009 or if it is giving you that option to switch to earlier version then you can go back. But I highly doubt it will give anything. So just try to go forward with B009 ROM.
try all these steps... see if you can succeed to any extent. In the mean time I will try to search for full firmware and if I do I will update this reply or give a new reply.
My name is Sam Hope this works out for you. Don't worry if this doesn't work then we will think about alternatives. But these are very important steps. Good luck. :good::good::good::good::good:
Cheers!
Sam
Update: After going through some of the threads on xda I came across one russian website
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=780572&st=0#entry54523165
you can check the firmwares. They are all custom firmwares. But I am not sure if the version is compatible. check if your tablet buildnumber is BTV-DL09C100B006 or BTV-DL09C233XXX . that is something you need to be careful.
update2 :- http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php
this link contains all stock firmwares - but they are all OTA and not Full package.

Yes it is very risky. Please proceed with caution or don't do it at all as these steps are risky and can turn your tablet into brick. I say this because we are not getting the right set of files to test properly. We don't have the rollback package or stock ROM so the situation is precarious. If anything goes wrong, it would only increase your problems. For going back to Stock all you need is Stock Recovery & Stock ROM and unroot.
You are in stock rom but rooted. You just need to flash the right recovery.img file using SRK tools. Please check my previous posts on how to run adb commands using SRK tools. You have to do this in bootloader mode. Fastboot or bootloader mode are one the same. You need only recovery.img and that should be flashed in fastboot or bootloader mode. Check the Russian site http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php this has B003 firmware
For the moment it appears like there is only one way forward if nothing else work for you. I hope you have seen the Greatslon ROM files in the other threads. You can download his EMUI 5.0 it looks gr8 and seems to be stable from what I read. He has uploaded all the required files for his ROM. Have a look and see if it interests you.

You and I have same tablet version. I bought my tablet on Amazon.de. Please make a note of your steps and how your tablet responded. Based on that we can see how to move forward. It will be really helpful to know your experience.
To both of you @danibyte27 and @asianpianoman
Please be careful while handling these .img files or any system files. Flashing wrong files or any mistakes or errors during flashing can be detrimental for your tablets. There is huge amount of risk. So please proceed with extreme caution. Do not proceed if you have doubts. Please do not hesitate to ask if you are in doubt.
It appears that Greatslon - Android Nougat ROM seems to be the best way forward. As you have seen FULL Rom is not available anywhere. So that complicates things. Going back to stock ROM seems to be very tricky for now until we get the right Stock ROM and other important files.

Did you put the oem unlocking - ON & usb debugging on ?
1) check the bootloader - take a photo and see if it is showing phone locked or unlocked
hold volume down on your tablet for 3 seconds and then connect to computer
update : Can you check if your unlock code is correct?. it says "stat not matched" please check the unlock code.
risky steps
[[[try fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxx even if it says your phone is unlocked. ]]]
[[[then fastboot oem relock xxxxxxxx]]]
if this doesn't work
then flash the recovery of your current firmware using
use SRK tools - go to command prompt - type the below command ( this recovery.img should be in SRK folder )
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I would suggest you not to go back to stock. Please try to move forward to greatslon EMUI 5.0 ROM.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/twrp-greatslon-mod-t3489232
Please check this link https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=125388 he has uploaded all the files.
Hi Sam,
I think I'll follow your advice and don't try to install stock image until I find a clean and reliable solution

It appears he didn't upload the EMUI 5 ROM for BTV-DL09C100 in that link.
However, he uploaded EMUI 5.0 on this Russian forum
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=780572
But those seem to be for C233 and other versions.
So I think it is better to check with him on the other thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/twrp-greatslon-mod-t3489232 and see if it is ok to install C233 on C100. It is his work so I feel he is in best position to answer this question . :good::good::good::good::good:

Hi,
Hope you remember me.
Finally I have some good news for you.
Some wonderful person found the link to download the Stock ROM & Rollback package in another thread.
here is the link
http://consumer.huawei.com/it/support/search/index.htm?keywords=btv-dl09&t=SupportSearch
Go to this link and download the Rollback package and then do the dload method. You will come back to Stock ROM and your bootloader will be locked again. Download both files. Site is in Italian, you can translate it to English. This is the file I was talking about in my previous posts. It was uploaded by Huawei only on March 30th.
This is straight from Huawei so no risk at all and very safe.
They also have the B009 firmware so you can use dload method again and update it to that firmware. After that you can do whatever you want
I hope this is useful for you.
Cheers!

[Update] Remove Vendor ROM, Install Latest EUI With Update Option Stock/TWRP Recovery

The final steps to Remove "Vendor ROM" that does not have the Update Option in Settings Or Unbrick Le Max 2 or simply Update Le Max 2 to latest EUI.
NOTE: This method should address the following weird problems:
1. Le Max 2 TWRP Seeing 0MB in Internal Storage. Unable to access the ROM Storage
2. Encrypt Option Greyed Out In Settings-->Fingerprint and Security
2. Update Option missing in Settings.
3. Fingerprint Sensor not working... If it still gives trouble... Calibrate the FP Sensor in its settings. Or register the same fingerprint multiple times.
This method should work on ALL versions of Le Max 2 including X820 X829 X821
Before starting... Remove ALL USB peripherals that might interfere with the process. Use USB Ports on the PC/Laptop... DO NOT use USB Hubs... Even if the phone appears dead... Connect it Power Outlet and let it charge for an hour.
1. Download the latest Stable EUI... from LeEco Website Directly .
2. Download the FlashOne v1.9 And Service ROM From HERE.
UPDATE: FlashOne v2.0 has been released! Here's the LINK.. It is a bit more advanced and offers the ability to format User Data for a Cleaner Flash
3. Download Qualcomm Drivers
4. Put Le Max 2 in EDL (Emergency Download Mode) by pressing Volume +, Volume - and Power Button Simultaneously. For those having difficulty..... Here are few tips.
Connect the Phone to PC. If the phone is Switched/Powered On... Then Power Off the phone and Switch Back On with the Key Combinations.
OR
If the Phone is Switched Off... Then Use the Key Combination to put the phone in EDL Mode..
In either case..... the PC will make a sound of Disconnection and Reconnection of an USB peripheral. AND you will see Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 Driver Installation. To verify the same... go to Device Manager in Win 7 / Win 10 and Under Ports (Com & LPT)... you should see Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMXX).. The XX corresponds to a particular COM Port. Remember this port.
5. Once the Le Max 2 is in Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 EDL Mode... Start the FlashOne Software.
6. Choose “Qualcomm – flash dead phone” from the drop down menu next to “Flash type”.
7. Click “Refresh button” next to “Select Device”. Here your Le Max 2 will show up but in COM Number (ComXX)
8. Browse for our Qfil/service ROM by clicking “Select File”.... You can technically select the Latest EUI ROM... But it is safer with Service ROM. DO NOT Unzip the ROM File.
9. After everything is set up under “Settings”, Press “Flash” button.
10. Installation can take anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes. Have Patience.
There are chances that the Flashing might fail. In case it does... Simply put the phone in EDL Mode again... and restart the procedure.
11. After the FlashOne confirms successful flash... Wait for 15 - 20 seconds. Then Power On the phone by pressing the Power Button for at least 60 seconds. Do Not Panic due to the long press.. Press it until the phone vibrates.
12. The Le Max 2 should be in Developer Version of EUI with an unlocked Bootloader and STOCK recovery.
13. The Developer ROM has the “Format Virtual SD card” setting in Settings Menu--> Backup/Reset--> Factory Reset.. Use the setting to get back the 50+GB
[You can also use the option Format Data in TWRP Recovery instead and the partition will 64GB correctly instead of 10 GB initially. Read ahead for the procedure]
14. Once you have a working Le Max 2... there are two directions:
Install Latest Stable EUI ROM... with Update Option
OR Install TWRP Recovery / ROOT / Custom ROM
15. a. For those who wish to install Stock ROM... Simply rename it to "update" (DO NOT Add .zip... Else the file will look like update.zip.zip) and place the update.zip file in ROOT of the phone. Thereafter Switch Off the Phone... Enter Recovery by pressing Volume + and Power Button... Choose Update System AND the other setting to Clear All Data. Your Le Max 2 should update without any error.
15. b. For those who want TWRP and ROOT:
* Download the latest TWRP (For Le Max 2) and SuperSU from their respective websites. Download and Install ADB and Fastboot From HERE.
* Copy the SuperSU Zip File to the ROOT of the Phone.
* Unzip and Rename the TWRP recovery to Recovery (The file should be Recovery.img.... NOT Recovery.img.img)
* Put the Le Max 2 into Fastboot Mode By Pressing Volume - and Power Button
* Go to the ADB Install Folder and Press Shift & Right Click to get & select “Open command window here“. Confirm Fastboot is working by Entering Command: Fastboot Devices.. You should see a random string of letters followed by the word Fastboot. If you do not see the same..... the installation didn't complete successfully.
* In the Command Window.. Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
* Enter the following Command: fastboot boot recovery.img
* Once the Phone has entered the Recovery... Flash the SuperSU Zip file and you will have ROOT capabilities.
* Take FULL Backup of your device and then install ANY Custom ROM.
Do let me know your results.
[Update]: There's a simple method you could try to get the Update Option Back in Le Max 2 Phone that arrived with Vendor ROM... Using the default File Manager Tap on the Update.zip file and select Upgrade Option. This will force the phone to Update using the ROM file. This method is for people who could not update through the Stock Recovery and received Errors.
After QFil/flashone my lemax2 still bootloops. I've tried flashing other roms via recovery but it reboots mid installation.
Any advice?
Try Another QFil / Service ROM

Hi, the link to the Leeco website is down...is there any alternative for downloading the latest stable EUI?
I downloaded the 23s from another website, renamed "update" but when I try to update via recovery it fails, cause: corrupted.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm trying to get back to stock for other phone issues... So I wanted to avoid to install twrp, if possible.
Any link to a stock rom that can be updated via stock recovery?
You know I just going to blame Android 7.0 Nougat any chance we can have a CyanogenMod 13 6.01 based foxfi friendly ROM ?

I used the 23s from this link: https://bbs.le.com/zt/eui/le_max2.html
I flashed it from an indian rom. It will change your bootloader to chinese, though (not really an issue). And your recovery too, I guess (don't panic, it's bilingual). It will also update /firmware, and that should help with many issues.
However, there's no need to flash TWRP in order to use it: you can just boot it ( fastboot boot TWRPname.img).
At the last step, my indian rom is not getting flashed. Saying corrupted!!. Yesterday I updated with the same (rom) file from the system updater when I did not root the device.
"[Update]: There's a simple method you could try to get the Update Option Back in Le Max 2 Phone that arrived with Vendor ROM...

Following these steps got the same error.
Edit: I am pretty much sure the developer chinese rom has the issue. It does not let you update with the Indian rom. Pretty bad.
Did anyone succeed to flash the indian rom the phone came with, or any indian rom from these chinese developer rom?

I do have problem (see the post right above). Any Ideas?
Ok so, I did as shown in the topic : https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/flash-eui-rom-fastboot-t3525831
download twrp (The one I know didn't had the touchscreen issue)
boot from twrp (wish I had know about it before!)
upload zip file to /sdcard ( here's the catch, while in TWRP in don't have access to adb, the phone doesn't connect to pc or I don't know even I mount it, could be me. So i just put the archive at the root of the phone before booting to twrp from adb)
install rom
reboot
And ... it's ****ING WORKING!*​​​​​​​
Really big thanks to ThE_MarD for his help!
HI, i hv the same problem likes yours with split screen.
Possible to share the steps how you manage to solved it.
Update:
Hi, I just managed to resolved it.
Download the given recovery 19S and save it on a USB drive.
Run twrp and press button wipe as our screen is reversed.
Then look for the file at external drive USB.
Just install it and once it is done..... the screen will return to normal

At the last step, my indian rom is not getting flashed. Saying corrupted!!. Yesterday I updated with the same (rom) file from the system updater when I did not root the device.
"[Update]: There's a simple method you could try to get the Update Option Back in Le Max 2 Phone that arrived with Vendor ROM... Using the default File Manager Tap on the Update.zip file and select Upgrade Option. This will force the phone to Update using the ROM file. This method is for people who could not update through the Stock Recovery and received Errors."
Following these steps got the same error.
Edit: I am pretty much sure the developer chinese rom has the issue. It does not let you update with the Indian rom. Pretty bad.
Did anyone succeed to flash the indian rom the phone came with, or any indian rom from these chinese developer rom?

Hi.
Yes. After "QFIL", i also didn't update my device from DEV ROM with any Stock ROM (Indian or Chinese versions) by "upgrade.zip" without get the "corrupted file" error. So by TWRP, i installed 16S Indian Stock ROM -- TWRP informed that i have "no OS installed" but i proceeded and restarted from TRWP. It initialized the new ROM, and after the first setup, i restarted the device to complete any system operations after the first boot, and i updated the device with the Indian 19S with the EUI updater ( tapped "upgrade.zip" file). The device now have the stock recovery and boot in english (not chinese), and the EUI in all languages available on "India 19S Stock ROM".
Stock ROMS:
Le Max 2 All Official Stock Firmware links
Best regards.

ZTE Blade A2 Plus Rooting( SuperSU or Magisk),Recovery & Flashing Stock Rom

Hi there, good to see you.
After struggling to find any helpful information about rooting ZTE Blade A2 plus, I finally was able to root>soft brick>hard brick>stock flash>repeat this beautiful device. So thought to share it here so that it becomes helpful for someone in need.
Device Information: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...te-blade-a2-plus-5-5-fhd-mt6750t-3gb-t3480759
Prerequisite: Winrar Latest version, VCOM and device drivers (MT67xx), General intelligence to download the attachments and to arrange everything in order and you're good to go
Step 1: Install custom recovery (We'll install TWRP)
a} Download recovery and preloader
b} Download Scatter file
c} Download SP Flash tools
d} Only tick recovery and preloader and select the downloaded files and flash it
e} When the process finishes and SP flash tools displays done, remove the phone and press "Vol Up+Power" to boot into recovery. It may ask you to make /system writable if you want swipe as indicated
f} Done enjoy
Note: Take this opportuniy to first of all backup your stock rom using TWRP and save it elsewhere.
Step 2: Rooting (With Magisk Or Super SU)
a} Download Magisk or Super SU flashable zip as per your need
Note: Magisk gives most of the Super SU features and doesn't trips google security net so you are able to use banking apps while rooted with magisk
b} Place downloaded zip in your sd card
c} Boot into TWRP recovery and flash the said zip
d} Done enjoy
Step 3: Flashing stock rom (Only russian version as of now)-Language is english bloatwares are Russian
a} Download Stock Rom from https://yadi.sk/d/RZLBrKKv3LxejN
Note: It contains PC Flashable stock rom along with scatter files and NVRAM backups so it'll help if you lose IMEI during the process, it is advisable to keep this offline as backup in case links stops working.
b} Flash the downloaded stock rom with SP flash tools
Note: This stock rom doesn't support VOLTE so i advice you to first take a full backup of your initial rom after installing TWRP, also please share that backup here as well so as i could add it to this thread to make it helpful for someone who has already lost VOLTE inclusing me
Conclusion: I'll be very happy if this information proves useful to you in any manner and also request you to must share your backup for me to get VOLTE back.
Thank You

Is this an update to the Stock Rom?
hi, can u help me please, iam tryin to update with twrp , i did remove first line from script but i have error.
Found a way to unlock bands on MTK based phones by flashing basebands from phones with the same chipset. Doing this by using SPFLASH and flashing md1 files. Still unable to connect to cell network on my Doogee bl12000. Flashed this phones MD1, was wondering if anybody could provide me with the nvdata and nvram from the ZTE blase a2 plus. Hoping by flashing those files can connect to a U.S. network.

Redmi Note 7 boot to recovery -This MIUI version can't be installed on this device-

To change ROM to Global, i do the steps until i unlock the device, i use XiaoMiFlash to flash the last global ROM
and it's work fine
but I note that there is a choice in XiaoMiFlash 'clean all and lock', so i think it's better to lock the device again whit the global ROM to make to my data more safe,
than i flash it again with XiaoMiFlash and choose 'clean all and lock',
after that my "Redmi Note 7" is not working and give me the following screen(attached)-This MIUI version can't be installed on this device-:
so what can i do now to make my mobile work again, please advise.
Thanks.

Man: 1 ) u must unlock already your bootloader using Miunlock tool, and try to flash already global rom not locking this time.
2) If the problem persist, u can install a custom recovery (like TWRP and there are many tutorials on it). Once it done, u must disable force encryption downloading the file in this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
So, connect your device on your pc in recovery mode (TWRP), transfer the disableforceencript.zip on internal storage, click install button, and flash it. Reboot and enjoy.
Hope i helped u.
i can't use Miunlock tool, because now there is no account on my mobile so i can't login Miunlock tool with any account, also the not boot, it just boot to recovery mode or fastboot

Man, i told u in a previous post, install a custom recovery like TWRP searching follow a guide. Once the devices will be in recovery mode (TWRP) flash this.zip (the latest MIUI Global) putting it into internal storage
https://www.xda-developers.com/xiao...s-incoming-call-floating-window-game-booster/
After u must flash the file that i linked u in previous post (disable dm verity force encrypt), and all will works.

Just a suggestion. If he decides to install OrangeFox recovery, it already has the option to toggle Disable Force Encryption built-in.
Hope he gets the phone working again...
How?!
