Support to issues will no longer be considered as i don't own the device now
thread will be closed as soon as moderators respond to my request of removal of this thread
WARNING: this method of rooting voids your phone's warranty
because you can flash system as usual and as it used to be, so don't worry
root with your own risk
this method works for WW SKU(i don't know about other SKU images but you can always give a try if you are on other SKU)
here am posting two methods of rooting
whatever the method it is , all we need is our zenfone 5 to be rooted. right??
one is root process by shakalaca and you can find his post here(use google translate in his page)(you can find the english translated here in the end of this post)
the second process is here as i posted below
make sure you have adb n fastboot drivers, intel mobile usb drivers, asus usb drivers
usb debugging must be turned on(settings-->developer options)
to get developer options goto settings-->about-->build number(tap on it 7times) now go back n u will find developers options
first of all download the bootloader.zip attached below
download SuperSU flashable zip attached below and place this UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip file into your internal storage(lets flash it later why so hurry?)
extract the bootloader.zip and place the extracted files in your adb or fastboot folder(or simply place them in c:\users\xxx )
turn on the usb debugging option(settings-->developer options-->usb debugging)
connect your zenfone 5 to your windows pc
open command prompt on your computer and run these following commands
adb devices(you will see your device serial number)
adb reboot-bootloader(now your device will boot(startup) in droidboot menu
fastboot flash dnx dnx_fwr_ctp_a500cg.bin
fastboot flash ifwi ifwi_ctp_a500cg_unlock.bin
now your bootloader is unlocked so that we can flash custom recovery
best part: it is unofficial bootloader unlocking and when you update the next firmware via OTA the bootloader relocks by itself(yep you will receive OTA updates even after this)
my bootloader relocked after OTA update ofV2.19.40.18 n it relocked my bootloader
now i hope u unlocked your bootloader
download this recovery recovery_philz_t00f.tar(attached below)
extract it and you wil find the recovery_philz_t00f.img file
place that recovery in your fastboot folder and run these following commands
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot devices (just to make sure your device is connected)
fastboot flash recovery recovery_philz_t00f.img
give it time to write the recovery( takes 3-4 seconds)
now that you have philz recovery
now run this command
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now your Zenfone reboots to bootloader menu and select recovery option by scrolling down(use volume-) and select( use power button)
u can disconnect your device now and u are in recovery
the recovery is a little bit laggy but works fine
select the option install zip from sd card
select the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip file that u placed in your internal storage earlier
now you have options to say yes or no.. select yes and let the recovery flash SuperSU
I hope u have flashed successfully
now opt for reboot system now
guess what your ZenFone is rooted Buddy
check it using any root checker app or install any root related app or you can check that SuperSU is working without any error
screenshots????
well attached below for proof
Want to relock the bootloader??
i suggest you not to relock the bootloader coz the OTA update relocks the bootloader automatically
still want to relock bootloader?
read below posts before relocking the bootloader because some members faced problems
here you go
refer to this link
http://www.asuszenfoneblog.com/2014/09/how-to-relock-bootloader-on-asus-zenfone.html
Stuck at USB logo????
WELCOME BACK
here is the solution:
flash this modified stock recovery https://www.dropbox.com/s/xvauuk0tzid1o3i/1.18.40.9_ww_recovery.img?dl=0 in droidboot menu
fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img (filename can be anything or the name of recovery you downloaded from above)
download the last JB update package V1.18.40.10
now goto recovery n wipe data/cache
then sideload the JB update package V1.18.40.10(how to sideload????? explained below)
it will work for sure
after updating wipe data n cache again
now reboot system n go through initial setup n everything will be fine
well you will be on JB now but if you want Kitkat then sideload the Kitkat update package
and follow the root process from the beginning
finally i suggest you not to relock the bootloader because when you sideload the update it will relock the bootloader)
OTA updates are available after rooting by this process
yes OTA updates are still available(even if the bootloader is unlocked)
image attached below to show ota update
i got OTA update of 2.19.40.18_20141003_8008 release-keys and downloaded it n updated successfully without any issues
if you can't find OTA update from your ZenFone 5 then download the update package from asus website
whenever you get OTA update check for ASUS website and download the package from there
here is the link to asus website for downloading future updates http://www.asus.com/in/Tablets_Mobile/ZenFone_5_A500CG/HelpDesk_Download/
there just click on select OS and select android and then you will find the update packages
after downloading the package extract it and u will fing another zip of name like UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.XX.X-user.zip
place that .zip file in your internal storage and the system detects it as update file and notifies you whether to update
if it fails then sideload the update via ADB
applying OTA updates via adb
Just download the package from the ASUS website stated above(click on the link)
place the package UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.XX.X-user.zip to your adb or fastboot folder
now enter into droidboot menu(power off your phone and hold power button+volume up till you see droidboot menu) of your Zenfone 5 and connect it to your PC
now scroll down(use volume keys) to recovery and select it(use power key) and your phone will boot to recovery
now that you are in recovery(you can see a droid symbol lying down with red triangle over its stomach)
press n keep holding volume down button, press volume up button(press vol+ button while still vol- button holding)
now you will see recovery commands
scroll to apply update from ADB
now open the command prompt on your PC and type this following command
adb sideload UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.XX.X-user.zip
now wait for the process to complete till 100%
now the system update starts and HURRAY you just updated the firmware successfully
(if you have installed xposed framework or Lucky Patcher then you have to follow these steps before updating 2.19.40.18_20141003_8008 release-keys)
for those who have xposed installed on Zenfone 5 the latest update will fail
but here is the solution for that
open the .zip package of firmware you have present on your Zenfone 5
for example the UL-ASUS_T00F-ww-V2.19.40.6-user.zip
open it using winrar and navigate to system/framework
find the files core.odex
core.jar
services.jar
services.odex
drag them out on your desktop
now copy them into your internal storage
now use a file manager like ROOT EXPLORER and navigate to /system/framework
delete the core.odex
core.jar
services.jar
services.odex files because these are patched by xposed framework and wont let the system to update
now after deleting the patched files
move the files
core.odex
core.jar
services.jar
services.odex files you dragged from zip package and pasted in your internal storage to the folder/system/framework and change the permission to like this rw-r--r--

}
for all the four file(now you restored all the system actual files)
now update it using OTA or by ADB SIDELOAD it wont give you any error
i did this and i updated sucessfully
you will lose root access for the first boot but dont worry
reboot your device again and you will get back the root access
happy updating
root process by shakalaca
enable USB DEBUGGING in settings-->developer options
now download this package root by shakalaca and open in your windows pc
extract it and connect your Zenfone to pc in normal mode
do not remove or unplug your zenfone during this process
now double the root-zenfone-5-ww.bat(select tw if your SKU is TW or CHT if its CHT SKU)
follow instructions
now sit back and relax
dont panic during this process your zenfone reboots many times(like 6 times i guess)
and when it says finished just look out for SuperSU in your App Drawer
and yes you are rooted
sorry for grammatical errors(if any)
After done this.. have u done relock bootloader?
Do u think we still can get/do ota/sideload update whenever available later?
Updates:
Well good to know u've removed step to use official Asus apk to unlock bootloader in ur guide. So my reply posted in this thread r no longer relevant bcoz all of it regarding question on that official apk. Glad u finally accept my suggestion not to use that apk since we can unlock bootloader via adb (unofficially), & most important it is safer for our device (by not sending any device id such as imei etc to Asus) :good::good::good:
yeah, have you ever tried to relock your zenfone 5? using that app too? or another app?

Does it need to be online?
Guys.. when ya run UnLock_A500CG_a500cg_platform_rel.apk, does it require u to be online? Have someone check what it can access that mentioned during waiting u to proceed with installation.

yes you need to be online at least at the last stage of UnLock_A500CG_a500cg_platform_rel.apk where you see the unlock button in the last step of unlocking bootloader
don't worry about wifi issues or data issues because it wont give you any wifi issues or data issues after unlocking bootloader

to relock the bootloader
Extract the recovery.img,fastboot.img and boot.img from the update package and flash them using fastboot commands
it ensures that all system files are flashed back before relocking the bootloader
if you done all above then refer to this link
http://www.asuszenfoneblog.com/2014/09/how-to-relock-bootloader-on-asus-zenfone.html
or here it is
drag out the ifwi.zip file from the update package like UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.40.10-user.zip
from the ifwi.zip file drag dnx_fwr_ctp_a500cg.bin and drag out ifwi_ctp_a500cg.bin
then open your command prompt and run the following commands
fastboot flash dnx dnx_fwr_ctp_a500cg.bin
fastboot flash ifwi ifwi_ctp_a500cg.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
It relocks your bootloader

You may use this to unroot your phone to receive OTA
1: Download stock Backup and Recovery from links above. Unzip Stock Backup folder from Zip file
2: Place stock back up in folder "TWRP/Backups/Device Serial #(you can find out device serial # in Settings--About--Phone identity)" and restore via TWRP
3: Flash SuperSU file (I know you have this file)
4: Now reboot and Download 3 files from https://www.dropbox.com/s/vl7bwh5b5qey677/Missing APKs.zip or from https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B578AsYeR0_KejhuZXFldmhyem8/edit?usp=docslist_api and copy these to "data/preload" using any Root Browser (Skip this step if you already have these files present in data/preload folder)
5: Now reboot to bootloader and flash stock recovery in fastboot mode "fastboot flash recovery recovery_t6ul-2.61.401.3.img"
6: Relock Bootloader in fastboot mode "fastboot oem lock" or use Scotty123 method to "Lock" your bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540004
7: Boot into Stock Recovery and factory rest (please back up all your data from internal SD Card because factory reset will wipe everything)
8: Now boot up your phone and you should be seeing everything Stock now.
Now you should be able to receive OTA/Update (if/whenever available for your region/CID) or you may just want to get back to stock firmware

Hazem, my apologies because I am not able to understand most of your questions.
I'll try to answer your question whatever I could understand
1: You can check if your phone is international or carrier locked by downloading an app from Play Store called "CID Getter". Then you can google the CID that what carrier or region your phone belongs to
2: No you can not use TWRP as stock recovery to receive OTA for kitkat 4.4. You need T-Mobile stock recovery to revert back to stock and receive OTA
3: You'll have to unlock your bootloader to be able to flash recovery.
4: I am in process of uploading all above files at Google Drive at the moment as Dropbox suspended my public link because of high frequency of downloads of these files. I would be able to post fresh links after 12 hours i guess.

This recovery is for International HTC One Max. It should work fine your phone is an international variant.
Moreover, let me know how are you trying to enter into recover after flashing stock recovery?
You need to boot into bootloader and enter into recovery feom there. These after htc logo screen press Volume Up and Power Button 3, 4 time and it should let you see a blue menu of Stock Recovery. Ignore if you see any error on screen. Keep pressing Volume Up and Power button until you see Stock Recovery menu.

Steps are already written in main post. Let me know if something to be explained any further
This is not a CWM Recovery Backup so you wont be able to restore it via CWM. You have gota use TWRP Recovery for this.

Yes, Install TWRP in fastboot mode via "fastboot flash recovery (recovery file name).img"
then unzip downloaded backup folder (2014-04-18--09-26-29 KOT49H release-keys) and place it in SD Card/twrp/FA3APWG02523.
Then reboot to bootloader and enter into recovery from there. restore stock back from TWRP from here
Now boot up your phone and see if everything is working fine in your phone and you are able to use your phone such as calls/sms etc etc
If phone is working fine then again boot into bootloader and flash stock recovery via "fastboot flash recovery recovery_t6ul-2.61.401.3.img"
After this you need to enter into recovery from bootloader but this time method would be little different to enter into recovery unlike you used to go into TWRP/CWM Recovery. Once you hit power button in bootloader to enter into recovery then wait for the "htc logo" screen to go away. once its gone then press Volume Up button and power button simultaneous 4 or 5 times. You might see an error 5 times but ignore that and keep pressing Volume up button unless you see a Blue Stock Recovery Menu. if you see it then you have done it right. Here you need to wipe cache and do a factory reset and reboot system.
Now once you are done with above all, reboot into bootloader/fastboot mode and lock your bootloader via "fastboot oem lock"
Now you are on Stock Firmware and ready to take an OTA (if available) for your phone if everything goes right.
I hope now it clears everything and you would be able to do it easily
Important: If this works, then hit "Thanks" button in every post that I have replied you. LOLZZZ

I double-checked even triple-checked the address in MiFlash tool. It is correct.
The point to be noted here is that the error message is seeking the file "flash_all_except_storage.bat" in the Images folder in the decompressed ROM Directory. Is there any such file in the Images folder? I could not find it in the Images folder when I decompressed the ROM.

If you do not see that .bat file in the decompressed folder then just choose any of the available .bat files there.
Just take note that the flash_all.bat will wipe the phone, the other one will keep the current files and will just flash (dirty install) the ROM.

As you said, you can not install an OTA update if you have rooted the phone and/or you have made changes in system files, you need to restore the system (not a factory reset) to its original stated. You need stock recovery too.
You can use Flash Tool to flash the original ROM from Zopo, but be sure you uncheck the USERDATA mark if you don't want to loose your files/programs/configuration...... Once you have the original system back, you have to apply all the OTA's until you reach the last 20151016.
Once you are in the last version make sure to backup boot.img and system before you root the phone again, so next time you can only restore using that backup instead of flash the original Rom, so you only will need apply the last OTA.
If you want to use it, I made a bakcup from the last 20151016 system and boot using Flash Tool > Read Back optión, so if you flash this backup you will have your system updated directly.

Just unzip the files and use Flash Tool to flash the needed files (boot.img, system.img and trustzone.bin) using the scatter file included to make it less confusing. (Speed 7, not for Speed 7 Plus).

Thank you elperroderoke, i have used your backup with no problem, the strange thing though is that the update had to solve "third part launcher is not setted after restart" but i've the same problem after every phone restart i lost about half number of icon on launcher.
New update
Hi elperroderoke, there is another update, can you give me your updated backup as last time?
Thank you

This phone can be very simply rooted with NewKingrootV4.52_C127_B227_xda_release_2015_09_28_105243.apk
After doing that you would like to remove kinguser and related files, and replace it with the well known SuperSU.
Run the script given here: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html

Hi folks!
I hope somebody can help me out with downgrade issue on my redmi note 2. I succesfully upgraded my phone to stable 7.0.7 MIUI from Miui 66.77.33. but found problems regarding traanslation and etc...
I can't downgrade the phone back to 66.77.33 version, tried using installed "mi recovery", adb tools, fastboot, mi-flash, and even tried SP flash tool.
I can't Root the phone. tried i think every single instructions on forums and still i can't get to install twrp and supersu.
Sp flash tool keeps disconnecting so that's not possible (with the right drivers installed), otherwise it would be easy to do it. I can't find the stable fastboot rom to use mi flash.
Phone boots back to Miui 7, or gives me driver signature failed, update.zip not working.
It only worked one time when upgrading to miui 7.
I would like to install 66.77.33. or Hermes global Miui 7, but whatever i do i can't get it to work.
Can somebody please isntruct me how to do downgrade. (on youtube and other foums it looks easy but all those are not working for me, don't know where is the problem)
Is it possible that new stable miui 7 has some kind of protection...
Try downgrade by fastboot

Flashed cn dev rom, then installed flashify, used it to flash twrp.img. dev rom already rooted. Then you can downgraded to any rom you like. If you ate going to flash stable rom by twrp, after flashed the stable rom, straight go to flashed superSU, now you reboot your phone with the stable rom with root by superSU. Hope it help.

This method no need to used pc.
1) downloaded china dev rom: http://en.miui.com/extra.php?mod=rom/download&r=274&mobile=no or choose the older version, saved it to your internal sd card/phone storage and renamed it to update.zip. boot into mi recovery and flashed it. Once completed. Your phone will be rooted.
2) extract this: twrp287RM note2_update.zip to a folder, inside you will have twrp.img, copy this to the external sd card or phone statage. Run flashify(play store) and granted root permission in security application. Run flashify to flash recovery img which was twrp.img just mention above. Then you will have twrp recovery.
3) boot up system and used any file explorer with root access like root explorer. Then go to system folder to rename recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak else upon reboot your recovery will changed back to mi recovery.
4) Run sdFix(play store) and reboot which enabled to write to sd card.
5) if you preferred stable rom, you can used twrp to flash it and remember also flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip which can be downloaded from chainfire site. This will ensure your stable rom with root.
China dev rom without google application, you can downloaded through flashify, I was using this: gapps-lp-20141109-signed-5.0.zip and flashed by twrp.
You can also flashed xiaomi.eu multi languaged rom from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=40163
Sorry for my bad English and I hope this will solved your problem.

1) Download supersu.zip and transfer the file to your phone's internal memory
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU
2) Download the twrp287.zip from this thread. Rename it to update.zip, transfer it to your phone and install through the updater app. (Not working now)
3) The updater app will reboot your phone automatically when the installation is complete. Once the screen turned off, quickly hold the volume-up button to enter recoevery. You will see TWRP recovery.
4) While in TWRP, flash the supersu.zip to get root access. Reboot your phone once done.
5) Once your phone rebooted into android again, use any file explore with root access to delete recovery-from-boot.p or renamed to recovery-from-boot.bak from system folder.
6) Your TWRP should work from now on and persist through reboots.
Hope you managed to get it working. The material interface rocks!"

Followed every single thing you wrote me, but it keeps entering Mi recovery and not twrp. It seems like mission impossible.
Ok! I would like to thank you for all your effort guiding me. Unfortunately i couldn.t do it. But managed to install multi lang rom from Hermes.
This is what i did. I often find that people don't write solution to their problems so i will write it now for naybody who needs help.
1. Downloaded fastboot ROM hermes_images_V6.7.11.0.LHMCNCH_20150826.0000.7_5.0_cn_13ba732702
2.. Enter into fastboot mode (hold Volume-down button and press Power button), when logo appears immediately release power button and it will show fastboot.
3. Download Miflash tool http://en.miui.com/a-234.html and open Miflash
4. Press browse and navigate to a folder where hermes_images_V6.7.11.0.LHMCNCH_20150826.0000.7_5.0_cn_13ba732702 is.
5. Press F5 to refresh, after refresh it should show under device some kind of numbers which represent your phone.
6. Tick "Flash all" (don't forget you will get error if your folder anywhere has spaces between words. It has to be like this "stockrom" not "stock rom".
7. Press Flash, when complete, reboot your phone
8. Download WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit v2.5
9. Download xiaomi.eu_multi_hermes_V7.0.6.0.LHMCNCI_v7-5.0
10. Follow windroid Universal toolkit (first flash twrp and then supersu) Phone has to be connected.
11. When flashing new multi lang rom, while phone is connected press Sideload ZIP and navigate to a folder where you saved new ROM.
12. Follow directions and that's it.
13. When finished, the phone will boot and you will see a small line on the bottom progressing. Wiat till completed and voila you have new multi lang stable ROM downgraded/upgraded from Chinese only Miui.
14. Don't worry if phone (touch screen) gets stuck while flashing new ROM via sideload. Wait till finished and you can pull out battery and then boot.
Thanks Timberwolf 60

Hi luky_zd!
1. First thing you need to do is download fastboot ROM from my previous post (1). That "hermes_images_V6.7.11.0.LHMCNCH_20150826.0000.7_5. 0_cn_13ba732702". This file you will use with Miflash to downgrade to Miui 6. (Miui 7 obviously has a problem entering and installing TWRP, i don't know why). But once you downgrade to Miui 6 you will have no problem installing TWRP.
2. Once you download fastboot ROM, enter fastboot mode on your Redmi Note 2 (press volume down button and then Power button, When your phone vibrates release power button and you will enter into fastboot mode. You will see a little guy with hat on and it will write on Redmi note 2 screen fastboot.
3. Connect your phone via usb to PC.
4. Run Miflash tool, in some cases it's Miphone but it is the same thing (follow links on my post).
5. In Miflash click "browse" and navigate where you saved "hermes_images_V6.7.11.0.LHMCNCH_20150826.0000.7_5. 0_cn_13ba732702" fastbbot ROM. Be carefull not to have spaces in folder.Example if you saved fastboot rom into "New folder", rename it to Newfolder. Folder Must not have spaces between words, otherwise Miflash will give you error.
6. When you pointed to correct folder, press F5 to refresh Miflash and then it will show your phone (they will be somekind of numbers, but that is your phone.
7. In Miflash select radio button "Flash all" and click Flash. It will flash Miui v.6 to your phone and when finished you have downgraded your phone to Miui 6 from Miui 7.
Next steps are for flashing TWRP and supersu.
1. Power up your phone
2. Connect phone via usb to pc.
3. Start Windroid Universal Android Toolkit (i used v2.5.)
4. If connected ok, it will read "Online" (if not Choose Xiaomi and all the way to the bottom is Redmi Note 2)
5. While your phone is still powered on, click on "Flash TWRP" and follow instructions. Just press Ok.
6. When in TWRP (you don't have to check anything just "swipe to install". It will reboot the phone back to normal state. After that is finished then in Windroid choose Flash Supersu.
7. When that is done, your phone is rooted. When in TWRP Supersu is located in (i forgot now but either in install or advanced menu)
8. And after that when you boot back to phone next step is
9. in Windroid click "Commands" and then "Sideload ZIP" and you will enter into TWRP mode again and just navigate where you saved xiaomi.eu_multi_hermes_V7.0.6.0.LHMCNCI_v7-5.0. Twrp will do the rest. When its finished just reboot your phone and that's it.
10. Don't worry if your screen locks while flashing sideload zip (mine did also). When it's finished just take the battery out (but only when finished) and power your phone and that's it.
11. Your phone has multilanguage miui v.7.0.6.
stomas30 thank you very much for all your effort and infos!! i downloaded all from list above and in couple of days i will try that.
once again thank you
thanks people!!!!!

While you run windroid, goto setting to selected redmi note 2. Also need to enable usb debugging in dev option. This was the easier method to root the phone. Before using windroid, in order to get root, I will flashed a china dev rom, then used flashify to flash twrp(2.8.6). img. With twrp to flash any global rom and flashed superSU to gain root.

I had no problem with this recovery
My device was unlocked by vendor. I'm unable to boot into twrp to root my device. The flashing is successful but it will only boot in a simple recovery where I can only install an "update.zip".
Have tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5...-guide-lenovo-z5-pro-gt-t3915945#post81055547 but the problem remains.
Hope anyone can help. I need to root my device. Thanks

Have the same scenario as you but I haven't done the tutorial yet as I read your post and I got concerned. Have you fix you issue? Is it safe to do this tutorial?
No solution so far. No twrp and no root
Now I have flashed the original rom with ZUI 10. Works well and updated to ZUI 11.

I've read somewhere that you need to flash vbmeta.img if verified boot is enabled, however I couldn't find the correct img to flash anywhere. Maybe if we ask someone that has the phone already rooted.
Can anyone post wzsx150's newest TWRP 3.3.1 from October 4? It's in this thread but the download link is for registered users only. I can't sign up for a Club Lenovo account.

What method would you follow to install the stock rom, like you, it comes with the bootloader unlocked by the seller and I don't know how to flash stock rom

Can anyone post wzsx150's newest TWRP 3.3.1 from October 4? It's in this thread but the download link is for registered users only. I can't sign up for a Club Lenovo account.

I gave up on clublenovo. They require SMS authentication to post so even when you log in you can't post and download. TWRP 3.3.1 is also available from 4PDA. That's what I used.
I was able to flash the TWRP 3.3.1 but i cant root nor i cant flash anything as the folders inside the sdcard directory is showing in weird names

You need to decrypt the internal storage.
normally this is done by entering to ping code to unlock the phone in TWRP on start up.

Will I lose any data if I decrypt my phone? And where do I find that pin code?

Its the pin code you use to open the phone.
And enabling does not remove data, but it does give twrp read/write permission
Is it possible to implement support for OTA updates through TWRP?

My device was unlocked by vendor. I'm unable to boot into twrp to root my device. The flashing is successful but it will only boot in a simple recovery where I can only install an "update.zip".
Have tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5...-guide-lenovo-z5-pro-gt-t3915945#post81055547 but the problem remains.
Hope anyone can help. I need to root my device. Thanks

i had the same issue and discover a solution
1) you have to manually go to your phone after you finish the flash below. DO NOT cmd fastboot reboot as it will flash stock
recovery
a) fastboot flash recovery twrp.img ( i rename the tweak recovery file to twrp.img)
b) http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=973179&st=0
(tweak recovery version 3.31)
2) after flash quickly go to your phone fastboot mode ( reminder again: do not tyoe fastboot reboot after flash successful appear in cmd)
3) manually select recovery , select english then select reboot and TWRP will appear
issues
1) i cannot manually tweak recovery via phone ( power +volume down ) as stock recovery will appear again.
A) so you need to go your PC to redo flash recovery again
B) i did a back up and redo PC flassh recovery again and mine files are stored successful
c) there is no install root in TWRP
D) about backup...
.best to back up via OTA-USB. pixel GCI crash ( QUALCOMM CRASH DUMP MODE ) my phone and my restore
file was missing as TWRP rename the restore file. spent one hour it so decide to do stock rom
current
a) I have not flash any rom yet and my original ANTUTU benchmark hovers around 300000 to 350000 based on vendor custom global rom
b) my phone model is 8gb 128gb android version 9 and lenovo version 11.0.084
c) updatess and NFC not supported
d) i opt not too root
e) bootloader still unlock
REQUEST...
would appreciate a ROM recommendation
a) have anyone flash a rom (not china stock rom) wirh an antutu beachmark abve 400000 ?
from a novice... after 2 weeks i can finally flash tweak recovery from the phonE.
about flashing stock rom..
i opt for stock rom and my antutu hovers around 409000 to 418000. from LENOVO app centre you can install play store

If you boot your ZUI system, your twrp will be overwritten by a stock recovery.
However if you flash magisk, your twrp won't be overwritten anymore. If you want to preserve your twrp after rebooting on ZUI, you need to flash magisk.
whatever I do.. the twrp wont be installed (let alone the root/magisk). ADB does say the twrp is flashed... but it will always boot to or the bootloader.. or the system (not the lenovo recovery or twrp recovery). Quiet frustrating... what can I do? Want this boy rooted!
Edit: done. The twrp linked in the tutorial is not correct use this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13mt0RLmT83BHSUBpH-J7EhaeZQ-MPYUu/view
That worked!
I want to unlock my bootloader but the site where you request the image file for unlocking it wont accept my IMEI1.. any idea guys?
