I used SP tool to flash the firmware (Link given by @AC_DC in another thread).
When I select the option 'firmware upgrade' it says error proinfo: Failed to get PMT info. The it says 'select option to format and download'. After doing that, after the 'download OK' popup, I try to boot up the phone and nothing. It isn't booting up. (white variant of pixel v1)
My phone is literally dead, only the preloader is working. I also tried formatting and then trying it again, but nothing works.
Please direct me to what I should do now. Any help highly appreciated :good:
First search in google unlock bootloader
Hello your problem is solve.....?
This method is legit and works 100%
Hey all
U said that u still have TWRP. So go to recovery, clear data, and in clear system partitions, select everything and clear.
Then follow the following steps -
1) Turn off yr V1 and get it into fastboot mode and connect it to yr PC( make sure u've adb installed. Link - https://androiddatahost.com/bnjkh)
2) download : https://firmwarefile.com/lava-pixel-v1. Place the 'boot' and 'system' files from the downloaded firmware to the folder where u have adb installed.
3) Open CMD( A .exe called 'cmd here' is already present in the file of adb, so run it as administrator)
4) Type -
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
. Give it some time.
5) Type -
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
. Give it time (It takes 4-5mins, so dont panic)
6) Type -
Code:
fastboot reboot
THIS METHOD WORKED FOR ME MANY TIMES.

Flashing ROM with QFIL:
Getting ready:
Download and install on your PC:
vcredist_x86.zip
QPST_2.7.422.ZIP
Qualcomm_USBDriver_2.1.0.5.zip or Qualcomm_USB_Drivers.zip
Turn off your Vibe P1.
Hold Volume Up key and plug in USB cable conected to PC.
Open Device Manager on PC (press win+r and type "mmc devmgmt.msc" without quotes) then seek Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in COM & LPT ports.
If you can see Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008, you are ready to flash!
Flashing ROM:
Downoad QFIL ROM ( for exampe one of this: https://yadi.sk/d/hY3kNWJGrnpCU?ncrnd=5389 ) and unpack it.
Find QFIL in your Stary menu and launch it.
Select Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM*) port by using "Select Port..." button
Click "Browse..." near "Programmer patch" field and select prog_emmc_firehose_89**.mbn file from the ROM's folder.
Click "Load XML…" and select "rawprogram0*.xml" file and then select "patch0.xml" file.
Press "Download" button and wait untill it ends (reboot or "ready" message).
If "ready" message appears and device does not go to reboot, then hold Volume UP + Power buttons for ~12 sec.
Flash unlocked bootloader & recovery:
Read "Flashing ROM" manual
Download P1a42_S272_160506_ROW_QPST (+uBL +Recovery + Root +region ) and unpack it.
If you have different ROM installed, then flash S272 (by selecting rawprogram0.xml) otherwise go to the next step.
Flash unlocked bootloader (by selecting rawprogram_unlock.xml) and reboot into ROM.
Open developers options and select "OEM unlock".
Also you can check Bootloader status by rebooting to bootloader and typing "fastboot oem device-info" (without quotes), if it still locked, then type "fastboot oem unlock-go" (without quotes).
After (and only then) bootloader will be unlocked you can flash custom recovery by one of following ways: by QFIL, selecting rawprogram_twrp.xml or bootloader (fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img).
When recovery is flashed, you can get into it by holding Volume UP + Volume DOWN keys while booting or using "adb reboot recovery" console command (without quotes).
Advanced flash unlocked bootloader & recovery:
BootLoader unlock:
Download file: emmc_appsboot.zip
Unzip.
Add listed files from QFIL-ROM to the same folder:
prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn
gpt_main0.bin
gpt_backup0.bin
rawprogram0.xml
patch0.xml
Run rawprogram0-fix.bat
Flash using QFIL, by selecting rawprogram0_aboot.xml.
Sometimes you need to do extra staff:
Open developers options and turn on:
ОЕМ unlock
USB debugging
Download: unlock-bl.zip
Unzip.
Plug USB cable and run unlock-bl.bat
wait until "Ready!" or the window disapire
Ready!
Custom recovery (TWRP):
Method one, fastboot:
Download: TWRP-FB.ZIP
Unzip.
Run rec-inst.bat
Method two adb(Root needed):
Download: TWRP.ZIP
Unzip.
Run rec-inst.bat
Root (SuperSU):
If you suscesfully unlocked bootloader and flashed recovery then you can:
download latest SuperSU
Put it to you sdcard (do not unpack it!)
Reboot to recovery and install ZIP.
Region:
To find out which region is set dial ####5993# or ####59930# using stock dialer
To change region:
Put easyimage.zip to root of SDCard
Dial ####682# using stock dialer
To get back to stock (for updating, etc.):
Flash stock ROM with QFIL.
You can use s272 listed above, but you also need to download, unzip and change rawprogram0.xml file before flashing to get stock recovery!
Is this the chinese version or the ROW? As far I know VIBEUI is for China.

You can't install root on 6.0 without TWRP, but if you don't need it, woy also don't need to unlock BL, so you cat just flash ctock ROM.

You don't need to do any backup. But if you come to 6.0 from 5.1, you better do!
I flashed ROM everything went good, next thing I flash twrp, works, installed supersu and now I'm left with a phone without OS. I cannot get into download mode using the volume up + usb method and also I can get into the recovery. What can I do?
EDIT: After about 26 hours of just non-stop searching I finally got it flashed again.It was a painful experience but if somebody wipes the /system partition, don't hesistate to pm to help you come back on track.
Thanks for the great tutorial !

You can root only 5.1. Unlocked bootloader is the only way for 6.0 ROW ROMs.

You are not unlocking bootloader, you just flashing already unlocked one. So you can just flash it back!
I must say that after Marshmallow update, Vibe P1 is the best smartphone I had ever
Smooth working, great battery life, no problems at all.
After flashing TWRP and applying super su I am struck at Lenovo logo tried clearing cache and dalvik cache too still same

I do not know whether or not this helps you in any way, since the original post has been made quite some time ago, but it may be worth a try...
This phone was sold in a few countries, and one of them I know about was Thailand. If you look up the corresponding official ZTE support page, you get this:
http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=CB70AA9C4A8C4F87AB43C34D3608D11E
The direct link to the download is:

(This phone was also sold in Russia, but the official product page has been removed, and I see nothing on their support page about that.)

They might not be full ROMs, but should they really help, it would be recommended to directly host them somewhere else too, in case they are removed.
ZTE ROMs are a hard task to hunt down, if this does not help I strongly recommend to dig deeper down into their support page...
Dear Member,
i too faced problem in LYF LS-5021 looks same ZTE S7-T920. i found incomplete rom from internet, which failed in flash & came to dead. Later i found update.zip for LYF in that i found that is same as S7.
I edited rawprogram.xml to file given to download & flashed. After flash phone came alive & updated with update.zip.
Now phone came to normal.
May be it will help for u.... attached updater script of Lyf LS-5021.
Inside the zip's from the ZTE -homepage u gonna find the update.zip file .... which perfectly works for the S7.
So ... is the LYF LS-5021 exactly the same phone as the S7 ... any differences?
New ROMs available?
I would also like to know if there are any updates available for the Blade S7 (other than Lolipop 5.1). I managed to download the update.zip from the ztedevice . com website and followed the instruction and was able to update using the Blade S7 ROM but only Lolipop 5.1 is available. Can anyone confirm if LYF LS-5021 ROM can be used on the S7 and what ROM's are available?

The real question is if there is anything official above 5.1 available for the Lyf. Needrom seems to host official 6.0, but it would be nice to confirm that with Lyf support. IDK if they would answer, but you might as well should try your luck with the ZTE ROM compatibility (tough they most likely will not take any responsibility and not advise you to try flashing their ROM). Their support page is here:

Also Lyf LS-5021 may be the Lyf Earth?

It is the Lyf Earth 2 (or second gen earth). Just checked Needrom and cannot find any rom for Blade S7 . I will check Needrom for official Lyf 6.0. But thanks for the feedback.
ZTE blade S7 T920
I also have a ZTE blade S7 and I know the suffer of finding this phone's firmware... But I am still a Standard android customizer so yeah after searching the web... No firmware found for this phone... So here's what I've done to make a backup..
I rooted my phone using kingoroot via PC
-steps-
-download the kingoroot application on pc
-install the application on pc.
#on the phone#
- battery charged to 100% because of fear the process will fail because of the battery
-enabled unknown sources in
*settings/security/unknown sources*
-enabled developer options
*settings/about phone/Build number(just keep spamming the build number till it says developer mode enabled)
- go back to settings and enable usb debuging
*settings/developer options/usb debuging(tick the box)
-then connect phone to pc then a small box will show up on the phone
tick allow this pc bla~ bla~ and
press ok or accept
#on the pc#
-open kingoroot application
-wait for the application to load
-then press root device
-if the phone shows something that needs to install ,just press install
-Then the phone will automatically change to a blue screen with percentage numbers on screen.
Wait for 10-20 min
-Then on the phone will show up root success with a giant blue tick
-uninstall all the cleaner or battery saver that is installed by kingoroot...
-then reboot phone...
Now find TWRP recovery from xda somewhere for the zte blade s7
The thread
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....eneral/zte-s7-blade-recovery-cm-t3567806/amp/
Direct download link
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/0B4Ya5mT9NhjqUUZyVTFDT18xQlU
-Download the above file on the phone
- after the download, there will be a file called recovery.img
- open flashify and slide to backup/restore
-backup the current recovery
-after backup slide back to Flash and pick Recovery Image
-pick choose a file and find the recovery.img that we downloaded earlier
And flash
-After flashing is done press flash more and it will leave you on the flash menu...
-press the three dot on the top right or left side (mine is right side)
-choose reboot recovery...
And now twrp will show up...
On first boot to twrp it will ask for allowing to modify the system...
Just swipe the blue circle
And now choose backup
For me, I check all the box to backup everything but the nesesary one is just boot and system...
And wallaahh backup done...
For my recommendation ,backup the file to a memory card and put it in a safe place just for safety.. Because you wont know maybe you'll accidentally deleted the file while formatting...
And that's it... Well done...
Anyone can help?

Hi, and thank you, I already had downloaded the BETA3 version from needROM.com but it seems this is updgraded
---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------
Just a question, I have to use the Flashtool to flash the firmware and after that the TWRP and Supersu options?
I've been using beta4 (and beta3 previously) for months and quite like them. Also, since the original factory rom is filled with adaware, isn't as up-to-date with Android's security patches and doesn't pass SafetyNet, you're gaining a lot and not losing anything switching or rooting for that matter.
Though I still prefer magisk over rooting since it's more secure and more than enough for adaway.

You can but you don't have to. I had a problem flashing beta4 and twrp at one go but booting the phone once with just beta4 and then powering off and flashing twrp and\or rooting afterwards solved that.
Btw, the dev is developing gesture modules for the kernel (built-in beta4) and an app to go with them: http://getbest.ru/kernel_gesture.htm I didn't find the feature useful enough to keep around but it works as advertised and, once again, magisk was enough.
Overall, the rom is an absolute must as far as I'm concerned and I wouldn't be using this phone if it wasn't available. It would have been nice if the dev could keepup with android's patches better but seeing how he's doing a better job than doogee and for free I can't really complain.
Do the camera and fingerprint work?
Hi. I wish to give my really thanks to the developer of this rom.
It solve my problems:
Stock rom R16:
sim card WIND (IT) poor 4G/LTE reception
sim card VODAFONE (IT) no 4G/LTE reception
(tested switching 1-2, various city zones)
This Rom:
both full 4G/LTE reception!!
M.A.
Hello Maria and thanks for your experience.
What can you say to me about the fingerprint and camera functionality?
Do they work fine on this rom?

I have searched, found and tested this rom.
It is a beta but it works very well, I leave the links of the original web where all the information of download and installation is.
I hope this humble contribution helps you.

Can you please assist me with flashing this ROM? (either 32bit or 64bit) - I've tried using the Flash Tool guide, but with 32bit the clean install scatter file does nothing, and with 64bit the clean install scatter file comes up with error: "chip type not match!! target efuse value: 0xa4020000"
I've tried with and without battery, I have installed Android USB driver, and I've followed this guide: https://androidmtk.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool
Please help!

Hi.
My phone (X5pro) hasn't fingerprint reader.
The camera seems to work in normal way.
M.A.
P.S.: May be it depends by my phone, but sometimes touch is not reponsive; I have to push the power button ("stand-by") and push it again to have normal touch response.

The flash guide you linked is the right guide.
What exact model of phone you have?
Does the scatter and other files are in the same folder? (unzipped, you know).
Does the flashtool give any error message with the 32bit version?
Regards
M.A.
I tried both the 32bit and 64 bit versions of this rom, it's pretty good for a beta. However I had a problem with the screen going dark while using it and once the screen inverted colours randomly. Has anyone else had this problem with this rom? I'm currently using the android 6 stock rom but would love to get 7.1.1 working perfectly.
installed with SP flash tools x5pro-7.1-x32-BETA4 from a stock kernel 6.0 (R16)
with no luck. At booting snowcatPDA logo shows for a while and continuously reboots.
Flashed from ubuntu linux 16.04:
Download Only option (should I have choosen Firmware Upgrade?)
Scatter-loading File MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txt (should I have choosen MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt?)
I had the bootloader locked in development options (had it to be open?)
I also had USB debugging ON
Any tips?

Hi.
Now I'm at home.
Tomorrow morning, when I'll be at office I'll write down steps by steps I did.
(home... office..., reverse of natural manner, because I do all my mobile hobbies at lunch pause; at home PC is used by others )
Hello, here I am.
The follows are the steps, more or less, that I did.
(maybe you already did some of these)
1-Start from official R16 ROM
2- Developer option
#a. Enable USB debug#b. Enable OEM unlock
3- Security: allow unknown origin installation
4- Unlock bootloader
#a. Connect in fastboot, from ADB command mode:type: adb reboot-bootloader ___ (Wait 1-3 second)type: fastboot devices ___ (verify device is detected)#b. verify bootloader unlock statustype: fastboot getvar all ___ and you get= warranty: yes= unlocked: no#c. unlock bootloadertype: fastboot oem unlock ___ and you get-> start unlock flow---> on screen appear:vol UP=Yes; void warranty, clear ALL datavol DWN=no; no unlockPress Vol UP#d. verify bootloader unlock statustype: fastboot getvar all ___ and you get= warranty: no= unlocked: yes#e. May be phone restart
5- shut down phone ___ AND ___ get out battery
6- Flash phone with
MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txtas per normal way (You know this , after some trying...)
7- WITHOUT starting phone, ___ Flash TWRP with
MT6735M_TWRPx32_scatter.txt (or the 64, according to the ROM you flashed)
9- Put battery in ___ AND___ start in TWRP recovery
#a. hold Vol Up, press ON button until appear a micro menu, release buttons#b. choose recovery with Vol Up and confirm with Vol Down
10- in recovery, choose wipe, and on bottom of the screen slide for factory reset
11- on TWRP main, choose reboot, power off
12- get out battery for some seconds
13- get in battery and start up (It can take a lot, may be leave the phone connected to main)
This is what I did (if I remember all the single steps...)
Try and report to us.
M.A.
Nope!, in step 9 when trying to start in TWRP recovery I get a continuous bootloop showing SnowcatPDA logo

Hummmm....
It seems won't go in recovery mode, I think.
Try this:
1- flash entire stock ROM
(may be take this ===http://www.doogee.cc/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=29=== just in case)
2- start phone normal, up to home screen (so the phone is as just brougt)
3- power off and try to enter stock Recovery
If it works (and your bootloader is unloked) then try this
Connect phone to PC in fastboot
and enter
fastboot devices (I do this each time, just in case PC don't detect phone)
fastboot boot recovery.img
where recovery.img is your TWRP
The phone should start in TWRP recovery
The fastboot boot recovery.img command
send recovery (kernel?) image to temp phone folder/ram
and boot from that.
It unaffect normal rom/recovery.
By this step, we check If your phone accept this TWRP and sort out some possible troubles.
M.A.
when doing 'fastboot boot TWRP-3.1.1-X5PROx32.img' I get:
USB transferring...
USB transmission OK
and doesn't reboot into recovery but it boots normally
since I'm doing this from stock kernel R16 I wonder whether it's 32 or 64 bits
However I've found recovery-twrp-3.2.0-git-20171204.img that boots!. But I don't have scatter file, only .img! This recovery is from Lineage 14.1, but since this custom ROM installs from TWRP there is no need of scatter file
I've found another TWRP that boots with fastboot boot img: the TWRP recovery for 6.0 in needrom. This one has a scatter file

Hi.
You have to select the file direct from the Needrom site.
www.needrom.com
(up)categories-doogee
on the right, click: Serial X
again, on the right, click: X5pro
and select the TWRP you desire.
(second line, second from left)
(click on "TWRP DG X5Pro (977 dls)")
Regards
M.A.
P.S.: even the link is
https://www.needrom.com/server/download.php?name=/2016/12/TWRP_DG_X5Pro.rar
you have to download from the site.
I'll try all this at the weekend, but my two cents are that it won't work. At first attempt I flashed BETA4 with MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txt (so no need to enter recovery and wipe cache/Dalvik) with a bootloop result.
My guess is that there are different ROM versions of X5 pro, and newest are incompatible with SnowcatPDA 7.1.1 firmware. Will see in a few days...
As I was suspecting I get a bootloop after logo. Now the question is: Is there a stable custom ROM (7.1 or newer) that I could use daily instead of MM 6.0 (R16) stock ROM?
Hey guys My phone is " zte axon 7 a 2017 g" version oreo , b03: i want to downgrading from oreo to naugat then downgrading from naugat to marshmallow (want to unloack bootloader ) can i downgrading two times without no problem with locked bootloader
Can you please not spam on every single Axon 7 thread.
The instructions to downgrade to Nougat are simple, and do-able via the EDL Tool.
It's not possible to use the EDL Tool on Linux, so I'd recommend finding a Windows machine.
•Download the tool, and extract to the root of your C:\ drive as instructed in the thread
•Download the B12_Nougat_A2017G_FullEDL package from the EDL Tool thread, and extract all the files to the flash/full folder of the tool
• On your device, enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking from the developer settings
• Connect your device, and open the tool. It will prompt you and then automatically reboot the phone into EDL mode.
• Select 'Flash' and then 'Full' and wait for the flashing to finish.
• It will prompt to reboot your phone, after which you'll find it is now running Nougat.
From there, you can go back to Settings and enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking from the developer settings once more, and reconnect your device and open the tool. This time, select 'Unlock' and 'unlock bootloader'.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, follow the instructions in the LineageOS 16 thread, and flash the latest version of twrp (can also be done via the tool), universal bootstack, modem, and finally ROM/GApps/Magisk as needed.

You need to flash TWRP initially with the EDL Tool aswell. LineageOS / other ROM additions such as GApps and Magisk are flashed via TWRP, which is the recovery on the device and doesn't require a computer.
The phone shouldn't get stuck on EDL mode, but if it does - no need to worry. You can just let the battery drain which can take a few hours and then plug your phone back into your computer and try the tool again.
