Unable to install Lineage lineage-14.1-20170125-nightly - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

Hi, I am trying to install the lineage-14.1-20170125-nightly, but I get the following error:
This package supports bootloaders: MSM8226C00B322_Boot; This device has bootloader MSM8226C00B128_Boot. The updated process ended with Error 7. Error installing zip file '/sdcard/lineage-14.1-20170125-nightly-mt2-signed.zip'.
I am not sure if I have the correct bootloader.

Could anyone help me out with this thanks.

You have to install TWRP, once installed reboot into TWRP, Wipe then install Lineage OS, su(arm) addon, then open Gapps.
Here is a video on how to install TWRP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjA4F_TzzwQ
You can find the newest TWRP for the MT2 here (its near the bottom of the page, do not download the version of Lineage OS on that page ONLY TWRP): https://android.cmphys.com/lineageos-mt2/
Then download Open Gapps (click on ARM>7.1> then choose which variant, i use PICO, but other variants have more Google Apps): http://opengapps.org/
Download an official Nightly of Lineage: https://download.lineageos.org/mt2
Download "su (arm)" addon for Root access in Lineage, Flash this a long with Lineage: https://download.lineageos.org/extras
here is another useful video of SuperBass installing a different rom on the MT2 to kind of give you an idea on what to do: https://youtu.be/Tq27VfRYKYQ
Good luck!

Thank you for the quick reply.

Hi, I have followed all the above instructions, but i am still getting the same error. Since there is no OS installed, I have performed the following steps:
1 . Downloaded the twrp-3.0.M6-0-mt2.img and renamed it to TWRP.
2 . Rebooted the phone into bootloader mode and flashed the phone with the twrp-3.0.M6-0-mt2.img (twrp).
3. Rebooted the phone into recovery mode.
4. Wiped the phone to factory settings and also wiped the /system, data, cache, except internal storage.
5. Used the adb push command to transfer the rom, extra (su arm), and gapps to the external memory.
6. Upon flashing the rom I get the error below:
This package supports bootloaders: MSM8226C00B322_Boot; This device has bootloader MSM8226C00B128_Boot. The updated process ended with Error 7. Error installing zip file '/sdcard/lineage-14.1-20170125-nightly-mt2-signed.zip'.
Please let me know if I am missing anything. Thanks again

It is a wind Mobile phone that i am trying to flash it to linage 14.1. I don't have stock rom installed because I wiped /system accidentally.. As stated in my first post that I tried to check the bootloader version, but all I get is the following result below:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(bootloader) Bootloader Version: 001.001.000

I don't know whether ' 001.001.000' means it is an old bootloader or latest. I would also like to mention that I was able to flash the phone to cm13.1 nightly, but the wifi was not working and security under settings was crashing.
I tried to update the bootloader 322 from the link below with B321_stock p19 recovery.zip under B321 folder:
https://drive.google.com/drive/fold...9VZ0ExZmhWS2VSUnNieUc4QTRRUVVZM2dLOHlRTnhNVDg
When I try to flash the phone with B321recovery.img it gives me an error FAILED (remote: size too large). See the result below:

The wind Mobile variant of the MT2 has a little bit of a different process for updating the bootloader, follow this guide to install the last official B322 update, then you will have no problems with installing lineage as your bootloader will be up to date.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/guide-step-step-wind-mobile-canada-t3387490
Let me know if you have anymore issues. Good luck!

Thank you so much for the link. I will definitely let you know if I run into more issues with the upgrade. Thanks again.

Yes, the newer custom ROMs require you to have flashed B322 (Huawei's final Lollipop ROM) first before flashing the custom ROMs. They have these warnings in the posts.
In the future, if you want to switch from one custom ROM to another, like from Lineage to CM, you won't need to flash B322 again as you would have already done this.

You must from Canada. You have to change your device from MSM8226C00B128 to MSM8226C00B322. Flow the link blow. This link will guide you to change to B322 and upgrade to Android 5.1.

Hi, I'm having the same issue and I am using firmware B322 Lollipop 5.1. So I think something else is afoot. I'm going to try and update to Marshmallow cm13 first. But, I have to assemble cm13 myself, unless someone can get me a copy I would surely appreciate it.

Candy is so much better have you tried that yet?
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=151179

I was finally able to install Lineage lineage-14.1 awhile back. I figured out where to get the Rom and modify it in order to flash it on my mtl02. But, it's been acting kinda kinky so for grins I'm going to try Candy that divhandyman suggested. ?

I have just flashed Candy ? about two weeks ago. Had some issues with substratum and magisk. I guess it was because you need a certain version of TWRP. Then a few days ago I with the LOD (loop of death). Lineage had the same issue

Unable to update to B322, partition size failure

I followed the directions from this post, but every time I try to install the upgrade, it fails because the partition size is not large enough. I had to flash recovery_MT2L03_mmcblk0p19.img because when I tried to use B321 it also gives me an error that says "failed: remote size too large".
How can I fix this? Thank you!
Also, food for thought, when I look at available internal storage within the stock ROM, it says only ~6gb are free out of 8, and I know this phone is a 16gb device. I don't know if that's related, but it's rather odd.
Are you following the B322 Huawei upgrade instructions PDF? What does it say the firmware version needs to be initially? Are you paying attention to that ?

Yes I've also read those instructions. I successfully got to this screen once, and at about 25% completion, it said the process failed.
Right now I have no installed OS because it fails for all of them, just FYI.

Is your HAM2 a Consumer Cellular by chance? Have you tried starting over by putting B148 recovery and firmware on the phone? That's what I would do.

Completely unlocked L03, brand new. I've tried installing the old OS from the JB downgrade pack, still fails.
You did not answer my questions ....... and what version ROM/recovery is on the phone now?

I figured that was a proper response to both questions... Apologies. It is not CC, and yes I have done both of those things. There is no installed ROM or OS. Recovery is variable, I've tried stock and TWRP 2.8.7.
1. What model # is this phone?
2. What versions of ROMs, recoveries have you had on it?
3. Is the bootloader unlocked? You're going to need in unlocked to put custom ROMs on it.
4. I would try getting it back to stock B148 ROM and recovery if its a non-CC MT2L03. You might have to hunt around the HAM2 forum for threads on how to recover from bricked phones if you're having problems getting to stock B148 or some other stock version that B322 instructions say can be a starting point to upgrade to B322.

1. Model is MT2-L03...
2. I have not had any ROMs, just the stock JB out of the box. Stock recovery and TWRP 2.8.7
3. Bootloader is fully and properly unlocked.
4. I said already, I cannot flash ANY ROM, stock or otherwise, because every time it tells me the partition is not large enough...
Again, this is the error message I see on cmd...

Correction: I was able to flash the stock recovery and then the stock B148 ROM. So the only problem I have now is the system partition is only ~1gb in size, not large enough to accommodate for the ~1.6gb for the B322 or B321 update. I'm trying again now tho.
Tried to flash B321, same error. This is what I see.

Any and all help is appreciated, thank you! Btw, the storage size issue has self-remedied since I reflashed the B148. It now says 12.5gb free of 16gb. Apparently the ROM they shipped me with had some issues...
Also: I have tried the repair and resize functions from TWRP 2.8.7 on my system partition to no avail. It remains ~1gb.
Why are you trying to install B321 vs B322?
Go back to B148 (ROM + recovery), then try using the Huawei provided instructions to install, B322 and post what happens.
I went from B148 out of box to B322 to custom recovery / custom ROMs.

Because that's what Nigel's directions say. Both the B321/B322 recovery and ROM fail independently. So regardless which one I try, I still have the partition problem.

I will not take any responsibility for anything wrong happen to your device. Do it at your own risk. Also, I will not update this thread. I just want to share this information.
After searching for hours I found on a site in Taiwan the way to root the ZenFone 3 Ultra on latest update of Android 7.0 (WW_14.1010.1703.42)
Here are the steps I did:
1. Unlock Bootloader with the original program from Asus website.
2. Flash TWRP 3.1.1 recovery with fastboot.
3. Reboot in to Recovery and installed SuperSU-v2.80-201705171619.zip
4. Wipe cache and reboot.
5. Once booted DO NOT UPDATE SuperSU from Play Store, it will break the root.

Once you unlock the bootloader the OTAs are blocked, even if you aren't rooted. It is okay you can still manually install the firmware easily.

I do not know why, but I had to reinstall the rom on my phone, used the same files for root and it worked with no problem.
I have updated to UL-ASUS_A001-WW-14.1010.1704.46 using the file from ASUS support page and used the same method to root, and it worked without a problem.

seems like all went well for me . . . unlocked / twrp / superuser / even the upgraded kernel & software upgrade ........ but the system hangs on the start screen ... but upon restart - the zenphon still goes into bootloader & twrp if i want to.
I don't suppose anyone made a twrp backup of a fresh / no added programs? Even one w/ bloat removed?
anybody able to show a bit of love?
thx in advance
Bummer . . . . no one's made a twrp backup yet? That's one of the 1st things i do - just in case.

Is it possible to update to new version of SuperSU then 2.80 ?
I try to update SuperSU with TWRP to version 2.82-201705271822.zip but installation failed....

Has any one tried this? Does that mean it can be rooted as well? I thought the bootloader had to be unlocked which is not available with qualcomm e4 plus?

I have a model from Sprint, and it's unlockable, just not on the official list -- I successfully unlocked mine.
Rooting is also possible -- use phh's; SuperSU doesn't seem to work: https://superuser.phh.me/superuser-r259.zip

Got Root on Qualcomm E4 plus! ( BOOST MOBILE )
Just tried this on my Boost Mobile E4 plus and it worked. I also used the the no-verify zip and Magisk 14.0 to root.
Can use this guide and just swap out the twrp.img with the recovery.img from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/how-to/moto-e-guide-to-rooting-t3652982
So what will it take to make this TWRP official and available on the TWRP website?
I am willing to help make it go official on their website.

I just followed this guide on my XT1775 and apart from having some minor issues unlocking (had to run fastboot flashing unlock in addition to the fastboot oem unlock) I'm now unlocked, have twrp installed and rooted.
Thanks all! Can't wait to see what comes next
do anyone know where I can get stock boost mobile firmware for this phone
You probably want the Sprint firmware: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
The Retail firmware will also work: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Retail firmware has none of the Sprint bloatware. Flash with fastboot.

thinking about buying this phone at it seems to be boosts easiest rootable phone. did network access persist? and do you still have 4g access and such? or any issues in general.
Has anyone had trouble flashing this? I have the owens XT1775 16GB P3A and can test boot into twrp fine but when I try to flash it comes up with the following:
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (10258 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.375s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
OKAY [ 0.387s]
finished. total time: 0.762s
I know it says Image not signed or corrupt but the md5 is correct even after DLing it twice.

No issues at this point on boost mobile after I rooted. Only issue I had was I made a backup in TWRP but had to put it on a sdcard since the phone stock doesn't have enough room to store it. The problem came with that the backup I made wasn't visible on the card when connecting to my PC unless I was in recovery mode. This may just be a TWRP issue but I don't know. Haven't tried xposed yet. Busy box wouldn't install.

That message is normal -- as long as your bootloader is unlocked, it should work fine.
Has anyone here tried Xposed on this device? I am interested in gravitybox and maybe xprivacy modules.
just a heads up, unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP, and then Magisk 14.0(14.3 beta will pass safety net) is enough to root the xt1775

Is there any good guide for flashing the stock ROM? I can't seem to find any.
Edit - I found a version of RSD Lite that works on windows 10 and flashed the Retail ROM that way. I've been out of the android world for a while so I'm refreshing myself on stuff.

I just tried and got a soft brick. Have Twrp, magisk and substratum running well. Just no busybox or xposed yet. Perhaps personal error

With permission I want to post like a compete guide for root, BusyBox etc so it's all in one place. I'm doing a bit of cleaning but I can either pm or make a subject and the compendium! I don't want credit just want it to be easier for us e4+ peeps

Is it hardbrick ?

Hi, After updated my Moto Z (XT1650-03) to oreo from OTA, I unlocked the bootloader in order to root phone. But I couldn't root the phone. And it did not boot. Then I flashed stock 7.1.1 (GRIFFIN_NPL26.118-20-5_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) and the phone turned on. The phone does not power up after I try to install OTA updates. No reaction. Is it hardbrick ?

hi dude, mmm i have a similar problem, so i think you have a hard bricked device. My moto z doesnt power up and doesnt charge it is dead
I had a similar problem after a failed downgrade from Oreo to Nougat. My phone was bricked over a month but it works now since the factory image of Oreo is out. I had earlier had a working blankflash but due to security limits I wasn't able to flash anything that would downgrade the system (so nothing really).
The blankflash file I found in the unbrick guide a while ago. Erfanoabli posted the Blank flash file but I'm not sure on witch page but it should be the latest version you can find.
The factory image I found in Android Oreo update -chanels- thread on page 37, and should work for every device except RETCN apparently. I unpacked the zip and flashed it in fastboot after I booted up to fastboot with the blank flash file.
Worked like a charm!
It still says RETEU when I go to settings.
Now I can stop using my backup phone!
I can't post any links unfortunately since I'm not a senior member.
PS. If you want to root Oreo you have to be careful! Read the guides. Otherwise you might get a bootloop.

Firstly you should flash gpt.zip which is in 15 page of [GUIDE] Unbrick hard bricked Moto Z topic. After that you can flash the stock oreo.

The phone defends you from uploading the wrong file. Are you sure you are flashing the right file for your phone model? Did you compare the checksum after downloading the file with the checksum posted on the download page?

Yes, I followed a Chinese forum that says they have flashed the same twrp img for this specific phone (GREE G0215D) but it's preventing me from flashing it on the phone is there any way around it?

Thank you for answering but I already unlocked the bootloader, do you think the error is from the twrp.img ?

The way I understand it, the message comes from fastboot and is a response from the phone's bootloader to an attempt to upload data to the protected recovery partition.
