Dear all,
I think I bricked my device (no OS installed, adb / fastboot mode can be entered, but flashing the extracted files one after the other does not work, dload routine cannot be entered). My last best hope is that somebody here can provide or rather share a clean Nandroid backup of her/his Mediapad M3 (W09) with me. On my device I can still enter TWRP and could then restore the backup. If somebody could generate such a clean backup and upload it to some cloud storage I would be very grateful.
Please help me out.
This is a clean backup. I hope you can solve your problem.

Dear ajnexus5,
thank you for sharing a backup with me. I restored it with TWRP but my device is still not booting.
One question about your backup: Did you check all the available boxes (3rdmodem, Boot, Recovery, Cache, ...) in TWRP when you generated the backup? Because in my TWRP restore function it only offered me to check the system box.
If you haven't checked all the boxes, I would kindly ask you to repeat generating the back up and share it with me once more (please take care that the backup is for the W09 type of device, which means the WiFi version). I think my device is so messed up that I need a complete backup in order to save it. Thank you very much for your help so far. Highliest appreciated!!
Which boxes do you need to be marked? There are really many that I did not know that existed jaja
Possibly all, sorry I don't know. You can also contact me in private if you don't want to share it publicly. I would be so grateful, right now my device is only a USB mass storage
I recommend you try this first. Put the files in the sd the first one after you remove that one and put the other one and the same thing. That is a complete rom 4.1 I think that will be better for you.

Thank you for your recommendation, but unfortunately I tried this before I asked here for the backup. In the internal update routine with dload it is stuck at 5% and then crashes. I tried it also with Huawei Extractor and flashed the files with fastboot individually. But there is always a error message (see attached image). I think the only way to resolve this (if at all possible) is to restore a complete backup with TWRP.
I think that does not work for you because it's done for the original recovery.
I tried it also with the original recovery but it does not work out for unknown reason. One of my last best hopes is the complete backup with TWRP. I think if this does not work out either the device is completely unusable. And in TWRP when I try to wipe then there are some messages like
Failed to mount '/3rdmodem' (Invalid argument)
Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid argument)
which is why I think I need a clean backup with all the boxes checked in order to restore the functionality. I am begging you to provide me with such a backup
I'm trying but if I check an empty box it tells me that I do not backup the folders that have something and then I upload it to diver and we'll see if it works.

Just try to check as many boxes as possible, I think more you simply cannot do. Thank you so much for your effort, it would be great if it would bring my device back to the living ones.
It is already going up to drive the complete rom.Let me ask you when you tried to flash the files of 4.1 did you do with the TWRP?
I think those files work only with the original recovery.
Great thank you so much!
You are right, as far as I know you cannot flash the Update.app with TWRP so far. I used the internal update routine (dload method) which failed for both the full stock ROM and the rollback. Then I used Huawei extractor and tried to flash all the files of the official ROM from the Huawei website one after the other via Fastboot (which failed too, see my screenshot).
I think this is what you mean by original recovery, right? Anyway, I reflashed the original recovery (with Huawei extractor + fastboot) several times, then tried it with dload, then used TWRP again. Nothing resolved my problem.
It seems that as you said you have deleted all the prticiones of the tablet. In other devices that fixes that is to flash a rom of factori and recover all the partitions. In any case if there is something of that must be in the Russian citium they have many things about this tablet.Nose if you have seen it is here: https://w3bsit3-dns.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=780572

Thank you, it will take some time to download. I will give you feedback whether it works or not.
Are you sure you gave me the correct link? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Aa...RvR8p-8vJAXUVD
Because the file has the same size as the first backup.
[Edit]
It is still only the system check box that is available.
@ajnexus5: Are you sure that you uploaded the new backup? Maybe you mixed it up with the old files.
[Edit2]
And maybe it's also important that I was on Android 7 EMUI 5.0.1 before i crashed it. What version is your device on?
This ROM if I'm sure it's the backup of all the ROM.

Dear ajnexus5,
I managed to bring my device back to life. I finally managed to flash the files of a firmware with Fastboot. Thank you so much for your effort and sharing those backups with me. I appreciate your help very much! All the best to you!

Hi Borkse,
I ran into the same problem, on my device I can still enter TWRP and could then restore the backup. Did you manage to find a full backup? let me know know how you fix yours. Thanks in advance.
Josyskunk
Sorry for the late answer. Backup wasn't the solution in my case. I used the Huawei extractor and Fastboot to flash all the pieces of the firmware manually one after the other. Take care that you use a suitable version for your device (I first downloaded the wrong one). Hope you have already solved your problem or my post helps you.

I was able to create a TWRP backup of the ota after I installed it on my Moto X XT1095. I was able to flash this using TWRP from kitkat.
After flashing this, you will have the new ota, however it will not have the new baseband (you will retain the original baseband from your previous installation, in other words this does not include the modem). I believe that you should be able to flash this to any one of the XT variants as long as you are able to flash a custom recovery (in this case TWRP, I used 2.8.1.0 if that matters)
I had to create new folders on the internal storage due to the fact that I was unable to create a backup of kitkat. All I did was create a new folder on the internal storage called TWRP, inside that folder I created a folder called BACKUPS within that folder I created a folder that has the unique alpha-numeric name to each device, and finally in that folder I placed this backup file. TWRP/BACKUPS/unique alpha-numeric name/2014-11-09--11-34-04 LXE22.39-5. Then I booted to my TWRP recovery performed a factory data reset along with wiping cache and dalvik, then performed the restore.
If you don't know what your unique alpha-numeric folder name is, you can find this by booting to twrp and try to perform a backup (this is how I found out what my folders name was). I got an error, within that error was the path (it is verbatim and case sensitive).

i appreciate you sharing this... question for u (or to make sure i understand how you tested the 5.0 Nandroid): after flashing the OTA, did you restore your 4.4.4 Nandroid (confirm it works: calls, data, etc.), factory reset and wipe and then restore your Lollipop 5.0 Nandroid (boot and confirm it works: calls, data, etc.)? thanks in advance for your reply.

After the inital OTA, I wanted to see if I could get back to 4.4.4 stock unrooted. I accomplished this by running the tool created by bhp090808. After that, I unrooted through supersu, I flashed the att modem found on graffixnyc site. I then flashed "MotoX(2014)_stock_install-recovery_sh" (with twrp) that 0.0 provided in post number 124 from the "[OTA ZIP] Pure Edition Lollipop 5.0" thread. Finally I flashed stock recovery to achieve a stock 4.4.4 system. Everything worked. After I confirmed that everything worked I did the ota again just to see if it would flash. It did, from there I was able to flash twrp, but after you reboot from twrp on the new ota you lose the twrp recovery....there is a new feature in the latest twrp recovery that allows you to move a file from pc to phone internal storage, that is how I was able to create the nand.
Funny thing is, you cannot create a backup from twrp with 4.4.4 but you can from the new 5.0 ota.
Hope this answered your question.
BTW, this nand is of the 5.0 just to clarify, like I said I was unable to make a nand of the 4.4.4
That's funny. I can do a TWRP backup just fine in 4.4.4.
Did you advanced->fix pemissions in TWRP?

follow along with the way i accomplished unrooting. i can confirm this works, I have done it several times now with consistent success.
BTW, this is not to be flashed, rather done through the "restore" feature of the twrp recovery. By placing this folder in the backups you will be able to access it through restore.

LOL. This message brought a smile on my Monday morning face.
I can't copy the folder to my phone. It says it's too large. How can I do it?
Make room by deleting stuff? If that's not the problem then I don't know.
Maybe try pushing the folder with adb.
Did anyone try this on the XT1092?
Thanks in advance.
MY DEVICES: Moto x 2014 (XT1092), Nexus 7 2013 (razor), HTC Desire X (proto)
Unfortunately, I keep getting "invalid crc file for system.ext4.win000" when trying to copy the backup to the final destination folder. Been using Solid Explorer. I'll try another just in case.
Edit: ES File Manager worked. Also, for me, TWRP 2.8.1.0 will not backup, but 2.8.0.1 will. For what's it's worth.

Hi M3 users,
I'm a long time lurker and reader on XDA. Now it's time to give something back or at least participate
Following my recent M3 purchase a dugg a bit deeper into this topic and tried to get us the stock recovery for our devices.
I'm not really a dev. I just used the information I found here and in the russian forum where greatslon (thank you guy) is posting his work.
If you find an error in the process please let me know. The files have not been tested in any way. I have no idea if this would even work (encryption and so on).
So I managed to extract the recovery.img file from the chinese rom. This method will also work for the LTE variant.
Maybe @greatslon or @somboons can share their view on the topic or maybe @somboons can even use it in his tool.

Don't quite understand what's this for. First of all, recovery should be the same version as your ROM. I don't know if their mismatch will immediately lead to some malfunction, but some people on 4pda said they should match. Second - stock recovery's functions are limited to factory reset (wiping data, cache, etc.) and installing OTA updates. Without changing OEMINFO (and it's still unconfirmed), you won't be able to install any OTA except those, intented for your model and region, so again there's no need to install a higher version of recovery than your ROM is. But anyway, thank you for the extraction instruction.
P.S. I think there's no need to flash both recovery and recovery2. Recovery2 can be successfully replaced with TWRP and this combination is really great, cause you can launch TWRP by holding Volume Up button only.
And the only reason why you should keep recovery original is that it doesn't really wipe /data - it also creates some files there like custom.bin, containing your regional settings.
Hi Slavon,
Thanks for your highly appreciated comment. @somboons was looking for a stock recovery so I thought this might help.
Your given information are really helpful. I did not know that you could flash TWRP in recovery2 and replace erecovery Handy information.
I'm pretty new to the Huawei structure so always glad to learn something.

Benjamin,
I've also been a long time XDA lurker. Most of the devices I have owned were mainstream and thus already had a very active XDA developer community; Even if root had yet to be achieved, there would be hundreds of messages on the topic.
It seems the Mediapad M3 is just getting started. I am a developer of over 20 years, but very little android experience. However, I have recently spent a considerable amount of time (about 50-100 hours) working with the low level ADB protocol source code. And I have rooted and flashed no less than 50 devices, everything from cell phones to Android TV devices to routers.
I'm going to take this device on as my first real dev effort in this arena.
I have a few goals:
1. Get working backups for people that soft-brick or need to revert (including myself).
2. Recompile TWRP for the M3 to confirm greatslon's work, and better understand the process.
3. Release a stock rom that's pre-rooted and cleaned up (not that there was a lot of bloat on my device).
4. Release a custom rom that's not MIUI (perhaps based of CyanogenMod).
Since I have virtually no experience, I am sure these goals are quite lofty and will take some time. But hey, you got to have a plan, and I don't have anything else to work on right now.
Let me know if you want to work on anything together, or if you need any help with anything development related.

Hey hey 0D0A,
I totally agree with you regarding the backups, I think once the first OTA update is pushed for the EU and US devices we have a good and safe way to go back.
Especially the US owners are struggling with greatslons TWRP version, that's the first thing we should tackle after the backup topic is cleared
I will contact you regarding possible work
Best regards,

can flash twrp via fastboot but get error saying and no recovery
hi, first thanks greatslon for doing the work on m3.
i seem to have succeeded in getting stuck and can't get it to boot into your custom twrp. adb on linux was working fine, but no longer. ditto for fastboot just get "waiting for devices" now. i switched to win10 and installed the hisuite app so i can use fastboot but still no adb. so i have tried to flash recovery and recovery2 but when i try to boot recovery i get error "Func NO: 11 (recovery image) ERROR NO: 2 (load failed)."
i then downloaded your custom rom and tried to flash the boot for that still no luck. i can't use adb so i am not sure how to just flash the custom rom with fastboot without being able to get into any recovery.
i did have this all rooted and working with your twrp but kept having issues with dpi and there was an ota update (b003) which wouldn't apply. so i tried to restore backup and it wen't south from there. basically now can't do much other than see the unlock "can't be trusted" page and bootloader.
any suggestions?
Desperately need stock recovery img, not sure exactly what when wrong, but it is stuck in a horrible boot loop. Tried Benjamin's recovery files and they seem to remove twrp and put it somewhat back to normal, but can only access the emui recovery and that fails to load the files. Put twrp back and tried greatslon's ROMs, they load but goes back to boot loop. Wipe and format everything, install my original backup through twrp recovery, it says it works, but again, back to boot loop... at this point I think I'm dead... any ideas, any word on the official recovery img? anything? Help!!

Hello, I am unlocked, TWRPed, and rooted, but am trying to reverse all of that. My build number is BTV-W09C128B002. Is it safe to download the stock recovery from the OP for my device? Or do I really need the C128 version?
Hello and sorry for the late response, you would need the matching version for your C128 device.
I may be able to extract recovery from an update, I have to look into this tomorrow.

Thanks! I have been able to use the Huawei Extractor to extract a recovery.img from OTA updates, but have been afraid to try flashing it. It has been recommended to hold off on trying that since that recovery.img is from an OTA and not a FULL update. Any thoughts?
As i was able to flash the custom recovery ( see HERE ) on my TRT-LX1, i thought i would share my full TWRP backup.
Use at own risk !
This backup contains : aboot, boot, cust, firmware, product, recovery,system,vendor, version (if needed other files can be provided but with those ones you should be able to restore your system backup)
TWRP BACKUP : TRT-LX1 : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754455038

Btw, if other backups are available for other Y7 models, feel free to share here as a restore point
i tried on my system but it restarted twice then i had to factory reset the device and now i cant get past the emui getting started page because it restarts endlessly. Any help?

Yours works the best for my model, and yes I restored with TWRP.

Alright, noted !
Btw, the other backup is for the LX3 and as someone would do a restore with it, just check all but not the .img (like system.img, vendor.img...) ones. These are not necessary to check as the other ones contain all necessary data. Just saying
My backup, the TRT-LX1 just contains the ones you'll need. You can check all by default, or less if you want a selected part to restore.
I have brick my huawei y7
Hello, good afternoon, I have downloaded your backup of the LX3 which is my phone model of the Y7 but I only have the TWRP where I can access. I have tried copying the extractable file from the backup as well as extracting the files and putting them in the root folder, but the files only come out in the file manager mode and when I want to restore, I do not get any file to restore. I personally think I'm doing it wrong because I'm not a genius in this restore backups because I've never done it but now that I have the opportunity to recover my phone I would like to know how to use it and leave it to my Huawei Y7.

Take a test backup with TWRP. That will give you the right folder name to place the lx3 backup into.
When restoring, you can check all. But don't check the img's. It's not needed. Don't know if you should check the efs. Better don't. Just try out
do you have modem.img backup or efs backup please

They don't have images like Google devices, but flashable firmwares.
http://lenovo-forums.ru/files/category/287-lenovo-tab4-a10-tb4-x304l/ has it, second from the bottom, underneath all the OTAs. Double check that you got the 4F and not the 4L one.
I don't have this device so I cannot help you with it if you have issues, nor can I say this will work for you. I also really don't profess to be any kind of an expert so do ask in one of the other Tab 4 threads if needed... but I do have the TB-8704F & have restored it to stock several times and I would assume the devices to be identical in process so I can give you a guide if needed! The general path is:
Download the zip and extract it
Download and install Xiaomi Mi Flash (some say to use QFIL but it often throws up errors and sometimes requires flashing in multiple passes, when Mi Flash doesn't)
Plug your device into your PC
Put your device into Emergency Download Mode, easiest way for you is probably to first reboot to TWRP which you luckily already have installed
In TWRP go to Advanced>Terminal>type Reboot EDL
Open Mi Flash and it should see your device. Click Select, open the images directory in your extracted firmware and it should detect the flashing process XML
Click Flash, then leave everything to complete
I will warn you that you will lose everything on your device. There's no way around this that I know of, nor would I suggest it anyway. Just back up everything before doing the restore.
+ Good luck! But honestly I'd first weigh up whether you really want to update to 8.1 since you're already on a perfectly-working device. They already pushed the OTA once and had to retract it because of the amount of serious errors it had - but that's your call entirely.

bro help me unlocked the bootloader yesterday and flashed recovery but then decided to downgrade the system with system sparse image in fastboot mode provided by o.p. of rooting thread, but now it is not booting up just showing lenovo logo and in fastboot mode again
Hi everyone. I'm new here on XDA and this is my first post so if I'm doing this wrong, please let me know below or provide a link if my problem has already been solved, thank you.
I have an s8+(SM-G955F, dream2ltexx/dream2lte), running 9.0.0. I have both, TWRP(3.3.1) and Magisk(latest) + edxposed(for what is worth). I am also running a custom kernel A2N. I received a week ago an OTA update and I would like to apply it. This is my first ever OTA update on a rooted device so I read a ton of posts and tutorials in the past few days, also backed up everything using TWRP. From what I understood(and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or show a better solution) I need to first install the default recovery image, lose TWRP, unroot, do the OTA and after that, reinstall TWRP and Magisk(I think I also need to return to stock kernel, not sure).
Important: I would very much like to not factory reset my phone if this is possible.
Now, I have a few questions:
1. Where can I get my default recovery.img ? (I tried to find it on https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:468 but they don't have anything for android 9)
2. Do I also need to get and install my default kernel ? If so, where can I also get it ?
2. After I flash the recovery.img what is the best thing to do with Magisk ? (completly uninstall or just restore image ?)
3. After everything is done, will flashing TWRP require to remount the partitions ?(because that will also mean I have to factory reset at some point)
4. It would also be super helpful if you could provide me a link from where I can download OTA updates as zip files(if there exist such a place). The version that I need is: G955FXXS8DTC1
I cannot thank you enough for everything and sorry for the long post
Hope you have a safe, beautiful day !
P.S. I already tried to do the OTA update after backup. It tried to flash it throw TWRP and, of course, it failed(error: 7)
