I see there are some people wondering how to get the marshmallow update from lollipop
I was on stock lollipop rooted and running xposed, everything was perfect, in order to get marshmallow update and root it I did this
Flashed stock rom using the repair rom found here in xda using sp flash tool www.sw-condor.com/smartphones/A55 slim.html
Once in stock, I updated OTA to marshmallow
Once in marshmallow I flashed only the recovery using the same scatter file from the repair rom and the custom twrp for blu vivo 5
Immediately after flashing twrp, booted recovery (power + vol+, once it vibrates al blu logo appears, release power)
Flashed (latest SuperSu)
Enjoy
Screenshots
Screenshots attached.
Thank you for this.
I have already updated to marshmallow but need to root it. The repair rom link isn't working, I need the scatter file to flash recovery. Got another link?
UPDATE - found an mt6573 scatter file, so that's not an issue, but I can not get SP Tools to flash, it basically sits there and does nothing, then I get an error "can not pass bootrom start command". Any chance of a detailed tutorial with pictures or video?
Thanks,

There's 2 possibilities:
The easy one:
If you have the proper drivers, power off the device, wait 10 seconds or so. Then click download in the sp flash tool and then connect the phone, the tricky part is that YOU NEED TO PUSH VOL+ OR VOL- in order to sp flash tool to recognize the phone and start flashing
The not so easy:
You don't have the proper drivers:
I had to install manually a driver, device manager->Select the first item (the name of your computer)-> Action -> Add legacy hardware
You need to download the drivers and then tell the device manager to look for drivers in the specific folder where you downloaded them, then it will find a device, I don't remember its name, follow this guide
Don't forget to hit thanks if I helped :highfive:
Ok, got this working finally. As for the initial issue with SP flash not working, I'm not sure what it was. I have the drivers and everything, but I rebooted the computer/phone (then turned it off) and then it started working. I did also press the volume button when it was off, that may have helped as I didn't know to do that before.
Next, the scatter file I found on the internet somewhere else wasn't correct. I found the correct link to the recovery ROM (you may want to update it in your initial post): http://www.mediafire.com/download/p29wpz59wg9ob2b/BLU_V0050UU_V09_REPAIR.zip
Other than that your guide worked perfectly, thank you.

Is anyone else having terrible battery life on this after upgrading to Marshmallow?
After doing the update to Marshmallow in this thread, I flashed TWRP and rooted via this thread.
Now my battery life has been absolutely terrible. Before updating to Marshmallow, I could go almost all day, have 35%+ left at night, goto sleep and then wake up with around 20% of battery all the time. Now if I goto sleep with 50% battery it's dead when I wake up. Seems to be "Wlan" and "Phone Idle" using most of the battery as you can see in the screenshot below. Also, after the phone dies and I plug it back in, it always shows as 13-15% battery life right away (odd), so I used a battery calibration app that seemed to do nothing and still same bad battery.
I'm thinking it may be due to me missing the OTA update right before the Marshmallow OTA update. I know it had to do with the radio, could that be it? Does anyone have that in a zip file I could flash via TWRP? If so, would it be ok to do that?
Any ideas would be appreciated, here's a screenshot of battery usage:

Battery life is great on mine, I installed xposed and amplify to block some wakelocks, but even before that, I had a very decent battery life, I read somewhere that you need to let your phone to completeley discharge, not even having enough juice to try to boot when the power button is pressed.
Once is completely dead, charge your phone (keeping the phone off) until it is fully charged.

The OP is for rooting Marshmallow so I would imagine it would be fine with 6.0.1 as that's still Marshmallow. You would only be flashing recovery (TWRP) if you don't have it already and then using that to flash SuperSU. Nothing very dangerous. Give it a try and let us know.
I think this is for lollypop and have an upgrade to marshmallow. It is not for root 6.0 directly. I would not want to use this .. kingoroot .. kingroot .. 360 .. none worked for me. I only have this method and never did a flash, recovery or a twrp

Nope, read the OP. It's clearly flashing TWRP and SuperSU "AFTER" doing an OTA update to Marshmallow. I have personally done this to my Blu Vivo 5 running the initial Marshmallow update and it works fine.

4.4.2 can not be rooted (proper permanent root) !
You will have to install stock JB (4.1.2) via .kdz , then root, install CWM recovery, update or flash to stock KK (4.4.2), and then from recovery to root agin.

And u are done !
The phone cant be hardbriked (from what i know, and most moder phones cant be hardbiricked). If u softbreak it, try the steps where it crashed, untill will work. (i had to try to install the kdz 20 times - i belive i had some cable/power issues with the pc). Also, do all this with the phone battery fully charged !!! (in case it does go wrong, u have enough hours of battery left to make it work)
Please, can you post me which specifically ROMs I should download? I'm a bit lost in ROMs.

Have you any more v10 EU? One is broken (logo LG is still refreshing and second one is 404) when I flashed on 20A EU again, it is working as before with all apps and settings.

Download links work fine for me !
U can download czech or any country, doesn't matter.
After u install the .kdz, u must reset the phone (it formats the cache , davlik, data, etc....) (when u put 20A again, all the original user data was intact, because the phone was not reseted).
http://www.hard-reset.com/lg-optimus-l9-ii-d605-hard-reset.html ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkzJlLY3T1k )
After u install the CWM you will be able to clear cashe, data, etc .. from the CWM Recovery menu.
A bit of reading the forums, wouldn't hurt either .....
edit: also note that the first boot takes a lot of time .... if it is more than 20 minutes than something went wrong. Try a few times to be sure, and then reinstall.
Sure, I have read it, but now I have problem with booting. I reinstall it several times, but the logo of LG is there for a long time ( sound and animation are repeated) - I left it maybe 5 min (could not be turned off - only remove battery), when it didn´t work, aj flashed again v20. So I am going to try it once again with czech kdz and leave it more time. I will prey

Sorry for that, but how to get into recovery? I did all, but when I update on 4.4.2, I cannot get to recovery. I tried from terminal (nothing) and app called reboot recovery (it reported, I need root) and manualy (vol+ and power) also didnt work. Before update everything worked (on old kdz).

[Q] How to boot to CWM without root?
[A]
1. Reinsert battery
2. Hold Power+Vol Up+Home for about ten seconds a white text appears, that says "Release all buttons" you have 500ms time if it reboots start from step 1 again.
YOU HAVE TO BE VERY EXACT! (If you once installed CWM you have it even when you flashed KK .zip)
or activate in settings, developer options, and then usb debugging. Connect with the pc and issue the command from there. I dont know the exact command, u shuld read the forum thread above... i belive is there (not sure). Anyway on this, google is a good friend.

Exciting news, means we don't have to reset our watch back to stock for it to flash

Happy flashing!

That indeed Once the watch was updated it lagged for about 10 minutes still, probably due to it doing stuff in the background after the upgrade. But once that was done it's now working great, smooth and awesomely well!
thanks.
i still wiped out everything to have a more clean experience. and faster.
Yeah I would say the only reason we don't have to go back to stock is that the ota contains completely brand new system image and boot and recovery of course so it thosen't even verify system files as they all get replaced anyway
Can we flash this new stock and then flash a custom kernel? Idk anything sorry, this will be my one annoying question for the day
For 6.0.1 there is no kernel at the moment.

So i flashed pacrom and it went in a hardbrick like state again (using twrp btw)I flashed it with nano gaps and the b330 package so you could get the fingerprint scanner. Than after an hour or so it worked again. Than i started running my battery low on purpose so i knew if it was just stuck or if it was something else. When my phone dies it will reboot again and work. And then i flashed rr with the nano gapps and the b330 package and it did this again, I thought it might have something to do with the b330 package so i flashed it without and it still did this. Then i thought it might have something to do with my twrp because i was still running on version 3.0.0 so i flashed the newer version through fastboot and it did this again!!
I dont know what is going on but my phone is acting really strange.
Does someone know of this problem or has ever heard of it or is my phone just strange?

you need to consider putting your phone back to stock using the dload / update.app for your version nd leave it their until you figure out if your phone is broken or not. flashing roms is just confusing the situation.

Hi Jim, Indeed you need to fully revert back and see if it works.. i will provide you some links since we are from the same region/country.
1. Flash the stock recovery
2. Download this file and put the update.app in a file named 'dload' on the root of your sdcard.
3. Shutdown the phone hold Volume Up+Down and Hit the power button it should start booting and applying the update. Just leave it for like 30 minutes and u should be back at B130 firmware. Then you should receive a update for B140 and once you are on B140 u can upgrade back to B330.
Report back if it worked or you encountered any other issues!

did you take all the updates to b330 ? if so you can pretty safely go to CM13 + gapps nano without any worries.
use one of the newest versions of TWRP
Do a factory reset and flash only CM13 and gapps
reboot let it fully load .. reboot to recovery / backup your fresh install to ext-sd
boot back to the OS and setup your new device.
Hi,
so, I got my Honor 5x rooted and CM 13 installed a few months ago from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightly-t3344499.
Last week or so some apps just didn't exist any more on my phone. Also I wasn't able to download any kinds of things, like apps, documents, pictures or whatever. After some time I figured out, that it was because of my SD-card being dead. When I removed it, all was fine again.
Another problem, that I got from the beginnning of having this ROM installed, I wasn't able to do updates, still don't know why exactly.
So I decided to wipe my phone and reinstall a newer version of CM in hope, that all would be fine again.
After performing backups and so on, I downloaded the latest build of CM from the official website (the one from 1st october) and GApps with ARM64, pushed it on my device and tried to install it with TWRP 3.0.2. I did a full wipe before, also deleting internal storage and System.
Error 7 occured and after some Internet research I read about this "assert" line. Figured out, that I got 2 oft them in this file and deleted the second telling something about the TB number, because it was also named in the error of TWRP.
Then pushed it on the device again and tried to install it. There was no error while installing, but after optimizing the apps, I got bootloops. Tried flashing other ROMs, including the one I got two days before, but it still got the same problem.
Also this huawei eRecovery thingy couldn't help me.
Now I don't know how to get an OS on my phone again, it would be very nice if someone could help me.
I also don't know whether there is a thread, that already deals with this topic, but I didn't know how to search for this.
If there is anything left unclear I'm very sorry, it's my first time posting, please excuse.
Thank you!

No problem mate, Community is Here to help!
The matter is, ROMs built after 18/8/2016 requires that you upgrade to Marshmallow stock ROM that means EMUI 4.0.
then you can flash the custom ROMs without problems.
If you're on bootloop, can you boot to fastboot or TWRP manually?

Try to get back to stock firmware, to do that download the latest firmware, extract to get dload folder containing UPDATE.APP, use Huawei update extractor to extract recovery, Cust, boot and system images.
Flash them to your phone using fastboot, put dload folder in the root of an SD, insert it in your phone and press and hold vol up + vol down + power until the phone boots up to force an update.
Have you already tried this? If not, do this please.
If yes, please elaborate "erecovery could not help me*...

Thanks for the fast reply!
Just got a softbrick, can still enter fastboot and so on.
I already found a stock version, but didn't know how to install it 'cause it wasn't a zip... :3

What file did you get (link) ?
theirs no need to use the HuaweiUpdateExtractor, unless you need the stock recovery from it.
all you need is Stock recovery (installed) and the Update.app for your current version
Update.app goes in a folder named dload on the sdcard, now simply shut the phone off and restart it while holding power + volup + voldown
after 5 seconds let go of the power button and continuing holding the vol buttons till you see the update begin (around 25 seconds)

Is it an update.app file?
Then you have to force update. Refer to @clsA 's thread.

got the right one now, download worked faster than expected.
Is there any possibility to install the dload file without using a sd-card?
