Anyone with a TWRP flashable stock rom for MetroPCS xt1765 Perry Qualcomm - Moto E4 Questions & Answers

Unfortunately all the TWRP flashable roms from GetOffMyLawn&!+ยข#{$ are dead and I need the stock rom for the MetroPCS variant. Anyone know where I can find it?

I think I mostly got to where I needed to go with the stock factory roms without using TWRP. After attempting and failing to make a flashable rip with Android Kitchen, I read about and saw a video on RSD Lite here youtube.com/watch?v=njXQYn53SPc (sorry can't hyperlink since my post count) It basically just quickly shows what it should look like and how it should work IF it works once setup. But it was good enough. The images I had were giving me failing to flash gpt and bootloader errors. So I manually took those complete lines out of both the flashfile.xml and the Servicefile.xml. After that it flashed everything and rebooted. To my surprise I'm not bricked and back on stock. I had to go back to enable Device Carrier Unlocking through the metropcs app (oops). Now I have to probly unlock the bootloader and root again but this time I'll make that backup
But if anyone has the flashable zips, a new upload would be nice for others.

Send me an untouched stock system.img, boot.img, and oem.img and I'll compile you a TWRP flashable ROM. If you're not sure how to dump partition images, the best way is to download an app called Partition Backup & Restore. It's a free app and was created by an XDA dev @wanam.

Hey, thanks for the offer. I'll do it. I have the img files that you need ripped and rared. Just been having some connection issues today while attempting to upload the file. I don't know how I should upload it so I'm going to use my google drive and share the link with you either here or by PM if I can't link it here due to the spam protection. Hopefully I'll have it to you within the next day if my connection becomes stable enough to upload.

Here you are MotoJunkie01, I decided to keep the extended name on the file to show exactly what Partition Backup and Restore spit out should there be something different that's needed.

I made one yesterday. Read my guide carefully. Have fun. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...-stock-rom-t3777830/post76234878#post76234878

Quite the write up there, thank you for it it's very informative. But to be fair flashing through RSDLite it working for me so I suppose I'll stick with it. It seems more straightforward afaik.

Good choice. I, personally, don't see how that's a better option than just rsdlite. But to each his, or her, own. If you need no verity, magisk, and all the basics anyway, why not just flash the stock firmware. No risk involved.

Yep - seems a better choice. RSD Lite isn't the friendliness beast but it's not a bad ride once you understand the idiosyncrasies.

[Q] Ideapad K1: Creating .img files from OTA

Alright, now I realize this is the Thinkpad section but there doesn't seem to be an Ideapad one. I've been out of the Android game for a very long time, and finally came back with a Lenovo K1 Ideapad.
My big issue is I don't know how to create a system.img, boot.img or recovery.img from the Canadian OTA zip on the Lenovo site so I can flash them onto my tablet. I managed to use the root tool available in the development section to root my tablet with a US firmware. However after experiencing a lot of freezing and my tablet not responding, I felt as if I should revert back to the Canadian firmware. My problem is I forgot to create backups for the previously mentioned images so I can't flash them back and restore my tablet.
If someone could please explain or even direct me to where I can learn the steps in creating them (I just installed linux because so far it seems like that would be the first step), it would be a great help. I took the img files from a different root tool and tried those, they changed the system to a chinese firmware but I at least know it works if I could get the Canadian ones. I can go back to the US one if I really wanted but what I want is to just put this thing back into its original state that it came in.
Even if someone could just post those files, it would be greatly appreciated. I've been scouring the internet for days to try and gain some enlightenment, but it isn't happening. Probably since development on this thing isn't as hyped as others.
Thank you.

On the K1 you cannot. Lenovo has it locked down so there's no way to back it up without root. The only way to root it is to flash it which wipes it clean. Thee ole catch 22.
Now, if you read through the leaked keys and rooting tips, they talk about fastbooting to ASUS boot.bin and then backing up before you start rooting. It definitely works to backup, but I haven't found anyone that has successfully used them to restore from and I could not get them to restore. So, in my opinion, that backup method is worthless because you cannot use them.

In Linux, you just mount system.img and then read and write to it. If you are using Windows then you can download drivers that let you mount the the system.img as a disk drive.
I use Windows for everything, no need to use Linux. For cooking, Google Cygwin which runs on Windows and is kitchen for 'cooking ROMS'.

Alright thanks timmyDean for the answers. I noticed you uploaded a tool to revert back to stock. So I was thinking of giving it a shot. I'm just hoping it won't be too much of an issue if I install the US rom. I'm thinking it won't let me use OTA updates since I'm in Canada, but I can probably just do the manual method for installing the updates. The box for my K1 says US, and we usually get the same pieces of hardware as the states with just a modified OS.
Hoping this works, fingers crossed

I loaded a tool to goto CA stock too and already tested it for you.
Thank you so much man, I just used your tool. Flashed the stock US, then put my CA one and it worked like a charm. You've honestly made me so happy.
Too bad the K1 in Canada is still at 3.1 and doesn't look like it'll get 3.2 (fingers crossed we for sure get ICS).
Anyway I am very thankful. I've looked over the tools but I don't see a lock thread option, hopefully a mod will do so promptly.

Safestrap Recovery Not Responding (Different Than Most Issues)

Hey guys, I've been trying out ROMs for the past couple weeks and finally decided I wanted to replace my stock ROM with the energy rom to save space. I wiped all files from my stock ROM and then tried to flash the energy rom. I got an error so decided just to leave it for another day and created a second partition for the energy rom. Forgetting to flash my recovery back to my stock slot, I booted in to the energy rom. Now my recovery buttons don't work, probably due to the fact that they were installed on the stock rom. I don't have any way of getting in to the recovery and that kind of worries me. I've been reading up on fastboot, but don't know were to be begin or get ahold of rsdlite since all of the links send me to spam. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am currently using Safestrap 3.1.2 and do have a backup image of my stock ROM on my external SD card (at least I was smart enough to remember that).
Figured it out
Figured it out! Just in case anybody else has this problem, use RSD to fastboot the stock image to your phone. I know everything I read was talking about this, but I couldn't find detailed instructions anywhere. Most time consuming part for me was editing the xml file due to "oem" command lines that weren't recongnizable. There is a fixed xml file on droidrazr forums for those who need it!
Please help same issue

[STOCK] VERIZON Nexus 6 [5.1][LMY47E] Firmware Image

For anyone interested here is the firmware image for Verizon Nexus 6 [5.1] [ LMY47E].

So the difference in between whats out there and this is? I'm curious as the build is different.

Not sure what's actually different but the build number is different, LMY47D vs LMY47E.
Could this be flashed with twrp without losing custom recovery?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Hopefully we will find out if there are any significant changes or additions. I really hope that I do not need to follow a Verizon firmware through the life of this phone. I hope that there is nothing meaningful in the E version.
Not positive as I am just downloading it, but pretty sure it is the factory image for the Nexus 6 for VZW so I imagine it will remove root and probably custom recovery.
But the nice thing about the Nexus 6 is that you are NOT tied to your carrier's firmware/ROM's for it. Unlike previous phones, there are only two versions, US and International. So we don't have to worry if 'x ROM' is for the T-Mobile version, the Sprint version, etc., etc.
Well no worries this all but confirms vzw is rootable and unlockable
Anyone Flash this yet?
Has anyone flashed this yet...very interested how you went about it and what the results are.....thx
Is there a rooted version??

Also waiting another few hours for download to complete. In the mean time, just parsing all the attributes of the file name:
LMY47E: Newer than LMY47D, which is explicitly called 5.1.0 on the Nexus Factory Image page (not the usual numbering convention, which would be 5.1; possibly foreshadowing that they know 5.1.1 is hot on its heels)
release-keys: signed by Google
subsidy-default: Includes parameters that resets the SIM Lock on the radio to "default" status, which we assume is factory-unlocked.
CFC: any idea what means?
I would assume this also gives us an image for the /oem partition
Judging by the name this was made on the same day as the image on Google's website, so it is very unlikely that there are major changes.

@autoprime:
1. Does the contents of the included slcf_rev_b_default_v1.0.nvm look like plain QMI commands to you?
2. Do you still have a user-friendly one-click tool that can send DFS commands to a device in diag mode?
How to Flash
Maybe a dumb question... but can this be TWRP flashed (I thinking no) or is there some other method? I was thinking this was a standard recovery image that could be flashed in stock recovery?? Other than that, I am not sure... if anyone has success flashing let me know!
edit...
duh.... ok sorry... my bad for not looking into the zip.... I see the flash all .bat

I believe you will need the Motorola Fastboot tool (mfastboot) to flash this in the motoboot mode. You can get it from the MotoDev site, or search on the forums. Note that this is NOT the same as the standard fastboot that ships with the Android SDK (which will also work with the Nexus 6, but not with this particular zip file).

As described, used mfastboot... flashed each individual image file based on the steps in the flashfile.xml!!! Booted up everything real nice.... download myverizon and voicemail as soon as I went through initial setup.... rooting now!!! :good:

Does the firmware seem configured for VZW? VZW ringtones and boot animation and the like? Or does it appear like something that Google will drop on us in the near future? I wonder if it will ever hit the factory images page?

only thing Verizon really are the 2 app downloads.... everything else is the same... not boot animations nothing. Root and TWRP setup worked fine as well.... Not going to relock bootloader though... I know the horror stories of Hard Bricks.... Not going to take off force encrypt either.... was having trouble with the phone wanting to go bootloopy with the regular image from google when I made it force before... I will let everyone know bugs and post some pictures as well once I set it up fully!! :highfive:

Question: I think I may have been under the same circumstances as you. I am rooted, with TWRP, and bootloader unlocked. I am however, running a custom rom (5.0.1 encrypted). I won't be relocking the bootloader. What steps (if you are able to provide them) should I take to achieve 5.1 with bootloader still locked and then root and install TWRP. (Please keep in mind I a have not had a Nexus device since the very first one).
Edit: I am on VZW network but Google Play Store Nexus 6.
TIA
Will do... I am still setting up the phone. Once I complete it and make sure it works fine for a little bit then I'll post. Don't want to cause any issues that might lead to someone bricking their phone

System partition looks complete, but I won't have time to do a diff between the two until next week. But by then, we might have an official changelog.

I don't have an AT&T device to test, but applying this file certainly attempts to set the SIM lock to it's default factory-unlocked state. But it's also possible the radio firmware could reject the unlock commands if it has been previously locked by a carrier. Only way to know is to test.

There is an oem partition file within the zip, but it's literally just the string "Hi, Fly Guy". Just open oem.img with a text editor to see it. I cannot imagine that is a valid ext img file, so I'm shocked that it was able to be flashed. If so, that would suggest that the Verizon devices will ship with no unique customizations (e.g., bootanimation, ringtones, that cannot be removed without root), and has a sense of humor.

@mahst68, did you flash only the image files, or also the subsidy_lock_config file (slcf....nvm)? What mfastboot command did you use to send the slcf? What was the response did you get back from that command? And when you flashed the oem.img what response did you get back?

From Root to Pure Nexus (7.1.2)

Requesting guidance before I brick my phone.
I currently have bootloader unlocked, twrp installed, and my nexus 6p rooted. I'm running 7.1.2. I've also changed a line in the (build.prop) provisions in order to tether free (since I am on at&t)
Basically, I'm wanting to install pure nexus. I have the custom rom file and the vendor image file.
Before I install from, I'm wondering if I need to unroot first? Also curious if how "shamu" will affect things since I'm on Angler.
Thanks!
Okay you need to stop everything you're doing and read this topic until you know what is what.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928/page577
First of all, you obviously wouldn't flash a Shamu package on Angler. That's a great way to brick your phone, permanently.
Read every single step in that guide above, even if you don't think it's pertinent to what you're trying to do. Read it a second, third, fourth, fifth time until you know the steps by heart. Until you know what's next.
Also, download the correct Angler zip file and DO NOT FLASH A SHAMU ZIP ON YOUR PHONE.

You can follow the original advice I posted above. Read that thread I linked. It's ALL covered there. No sense in me writing everything up here when all you need to do is click the link I posted and follow the return to stock sections. There's even one for maintaining your data. Read the thread.

(HELP NEEDED) Onn 8" gen 2, 100011885 no boot

So I didn't happen to back up my scatter or boot.img files when I used fastboot to try and flash the TWRP for the onn 10 inch, I was assuming it would work, but now I'm stuck with no recovery, no fastboot, no system, won't boot up when you hold the power button.
The only method of recovery I have is through MTK preloader and spflash, but I don't have the correct factory images or scatter file required to reflash stock. I've been looking everywhere online and can't find the right recovery files or any guides on how to recover from this.
Any help/files/advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Two things, I got access to my old account after a password reset
and, I got my tab back up and running, as well as root & xposed + gravitybox
I'm working on a guide as we speak.
Also, I will be dumping my firmware and adding the 10001885 to the list of stock image dumps on the main onn thread.
Hope this helps if still needing it, scatter file for the 100011885 mt8168 , good luck not responsible for anything lol i still cant get mine to work, anklosburner

Hey, i've had that same issue but have since fixed it by flashing the rom to the 100011886. I used some of the posts here to flash both vbmeta.img and boot.img to gain root, with success https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17LtLtjKg4JJU9EJdIXPsyNjen0H-ilMX?usp=sharing . i eventually went too far and currupted my rom and had a hard time finding the stock ROM. I found the stock ROM to the 100011886 and flashed that to fix the problem, now i run that as my system and it boots up just fine. https://www.mediafire.com/file/107jp6gwbiwq87q/MT8168_ONN_Gen2_100011886.zip/file

fastboot flash super super.img
Would you happen to have the preloader bin file for the MT8168? After digging around, you have helped me get closer to bringing my hard brick back to life.

[STOCK] Stock Backups/Images/OTAs
Since these tablets don't have an external online resource for downloading system updates, only a sketchy OTA app (com.adups.fota) I'm collecting a library of OTAs, as well as boot/recovery/system images. I have access to a 10.1 with keyboard...
forum.xda-developers.com
Any rom you come across has to be extracted in order to get any necessary files from it. The thread mentions using 7zip but I've personally had better results extracting using ZArchiver. Also, a workaround I've found very useful when dealing with extraction issues, is removing the extension from the file. If all else fails, you may need to erase the super partition and reflash THAT

Any rom you come across has to be extracted in order to get any necessary files from it. The thread mentions using 7zip but I've personally had better results extracting using ZArchiver. Also, a workaround I've found very useful when dealing with extraction issues, is removing the extension from the file. If all else fails, you may need to erase the super partition and reflash THAT

Thanks for the response. I'm at the end of that thread currently trying to see what I can find to fix my issue. Aside from buying another one from Walmart and trying to see if I can pull everything from a vanilla tablet, I'm not sure if I'll ever find the exact files.

When my tab crashed on me, flashing the super image solved my issue but it was a different rom. My tab's model number ended in 885 but the super file I flashed came from an 886, it still worked though

I wish I would have waited until I read this today instead of further messing with it yesterday. It looks like everything you have is what I need, but now I am battling trying to get the COM port to stay active when the device is plugged in. I'll tinker with it and see if I can get back to the state I had it in yesterday where it was staying connected.

Would you happen to know/remember all the settings you checked in SP Flash Tool (I assume you used that) when you flashed things to get it working? It seems that my PC is able to communicate with the device again, but I'm unsure of how to proceed next.
Have you installed all of the adb & mtk drivers? If so, you should be able to use adb to reboot into the boot loader then use fast boot to flash the super file

It's hard bricked at the moment unfortunately, so there's no appearance of life to it. Attached picture is the error I get. https://www.gizmoadvices.com/list-sp-flash-tool-error-codes-solution-fix/ appears show info about the error, but it's not something I know how to fix yet.
The only way I can get the tablet to make moves in device manager (which I assume is a sign that the PC can at least partially recognize/see the device) is to click on Download in SPFT, connect tablet to PC via USB cord, and then hold down power button, which led to the error. Errors in SPFT I've received so far are 0xC0060001 and 0xC0060003.
When the tablet is active in the device manager, I assume that the device is in a powered state. However, when the device is grayed out, I assume it's in a powered off state (see other pic). I've yet to find away to actually flash anything to it.

Also, apologies if I'm being a bother, but do you know what version of SPFT you used as well as which DA file?
