NOTE-1:
I'm not a developer or something even near to that. All information provided here is copied from different internet sources and according to best of my knowledge.
I have created this flashable zip myself and tried this on QMobile Z8 only. It's similar to Wiko Ridge 4G and Blu Life One (2015) in hardware specifications.
I'll not be responsible for any harm to you or your device. It works perfectly for me. You may try it on your own risk.
Save / backup your data before continuing.
NOTE-2:
This flashable zip flashes SYSTEM and BOOT partitions only. If you face ROM abnormal behavior like signals issue, charging problem, device heat up etc. you may flash other partitions as explained here.
Read here more about partitions.
REQUIREMENTS
To flash zip, CUSTOM RECOVERY must be installed. If you don't have one, get here.
If your device is bricked and doesn't boot, try flashing factory firmware as explained here. Even if Download Mode isn't accessible, get official support for your device and pray for it.
STEPS
Download QMobile Z8 Stock ROM Lollipop 5.0.2 Rooted flashable unsigned zip and place it on SD Card or Internal Memory (if you don't going to wipe it).
Reboot into Recovery.
Install ROM zip.
Wipe DALVIK-CACHE, CACHE & DATA.
Reboot. Ignore "No OS Installed" warning (if it comes).
Enjoy!
Thanks for Your Post
I have Qmobile z8 , i updated the firmware of Wiko Ridge 4g on my phone few days before.
So my current OS is Ridge 4g , now as i have tried to install your custom rom you mentioned in this thread
it goes normally about 25 percent in progress bar then suddenly progress bar completed as it goes completed , there is no error but in bottom its written Done. then i clear cache and then restart the phone , but it stuck on Wicko logo then restart and this continues. It seems installation did not go completed ,,,, Any solution ?

Flashable zip contains just system.img and boot.img. Extract both files and flash using dd.
What is dd , can you please explain what to do in some detail , i am not so much familiar with android

dd is a command on UNIX-like operating systems including Linux and Android to copy / dump data. https://www.computerhope.com/unix/dd.htm
Put both img files on internal sd card. Boot in recovery and run these commands from built-in terminal or adb shell:
Code:
cd /sdcard
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23
dd if=system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24
Make sure "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23" and "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24" are correct partitions to flash or you may overwrite wrong partitions.
Don't forget to make a backup before making experiments.

This method of creating a .img using DD is quite difficult so consider doing this instead:
download mode in noir z8
turn off your phone
press*volume +,vol -*and*power button*for 5 second then download mode mn aa jae ga

That's for flashing stock firmware. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/factory-firmware-qmobile-z8-wiko-ridge-t3586572
Mine flashable image is a bit modified, rooted, bloats removed etc. But yes flashers are easy to use and risk-free.

Flash QMobile factory firmware, not Wiko's. If that doesn't fix, there must be hardware problem.

I tried to copy both files.
on first file its copied 32 mb with no error
on second file it only copied 32 mb and said no space left on device

You must be flashing wrong partition. Or try changing different dd binary e.g. from latest busybox version.
Or if you can loop mount system.img with ext4 filesystem, simple copy files to /system partition along with file permissions.
this time i copied successfully to right partitiones then Wipe DALVIK-CACHE, CACHE & DATA.
then restart but stuck in start loop

Then other firmware partitions from Wiko must be incompatible with QMobile ROM. Simple is to use a flasher which flashes all partitions. But replace the recovery image with custom recovery like TWRP. After that you may flash this rooted ROM if needed.

Dear Friends,
Need help please. I have installed another custom rom that was not meant for I9300 and now the EFS is corrupted. I tried installing orignal rom using ODIN but geting boot loop and the phone is not booting. On going into recovery i can see an error efs/ corupted or something like that. I have the backup of my EFS folder in tar.gz format however dont know how to install the same and recover my phone as not able to boot to android.
Please help me if someone can work it out. My phone has just 3 days of warranty left and it does not shows rooted anywhere except the count of installation is about 32 and rom says official and kernel says custom.
Please if someone can help me restore my phone back in working condition i shall always remain thankfull.

It is essential that you have a backup of the EFS partition and a way to place it back - the first two ways that I would think about are:
a) use a good recovery - like Philz recovery, that has commands to restore EFS
b) if the format of the backup is not exactly right you might be able to boot in recovery and use ADB commands.

No for ADB you boot into recovery, connect your computer via USB and run the ADB commands from either Linux Terminal or Windows Command Prompt.
The tool here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
May help if you're new to adb.
Otherwise it's a case of downloading and installing the drivers for your phone and the Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Thanks for all your replies.
Just wanted to confirm if i have the efs backup in sd card as under folder backup_efs and there are two files in tar.gz format will i be able to use the phylz recovery to use this replace my efs folder? if yes then can you guide me the steps please.

I do not remember right now what creates an backup_efs folder but it really does not matter that much - the tar.gz is a "file archive" and .img is usually a partition image. Each could have minor advantages - the .img also contains the entire filesystem of the partition (and will work easier if the filesystem is bonked) but a tar.gz backup is more versatile when you have bad sectors or a changed partition.
Under an advanced recovery like Philz you would just navigate some menus and try to restore the EFS - see the info in those specific threads.
Under ADB you need to have stuff (drivers and some programs) installed in your PC, you connect the phone on USB and you run ADB commands from the command line.

help any expert. how cwm rom installation in my sdcard. i research in Google. and i read someone page i was trying to open this. recovery. img with mtk tool clockwork. mod but my mehod was wrong? here is no show. my recovery. option. only. for normal phone switch off. and on. it is work but recovery. not showing. i have no pc how to solve this problem without pc any help me pleace?
There are two easy ways:
1st Method
1. Install a app named ROOT MANAGER from play store (PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR ROOTED DEVICE ONLY)
2. If you have already rooted, after installing that app it will ask to install a custom recovery ie. CMW (ClockworkMod Recovery)
3. Before selecting CMW, ROM manager app will ask your device model select accurately and proceed to Download CMW and install it. It will ask for a reboot
4. You are Done
2nd Method: (You must have a Computer)
1. Try to Download the zip file of CMW of your device (zip file differs for device to device, So choose carefully your model)
2. Extract that zip
3. Go to Download mode (Power+ Volume down)
4. Install Software named ODIN v1.85
5. Open Odin and Connect your device to computer.
6. Flash the extracted file using Odin.
7. Done mate :thumbup:

You need "adb"
use following cmd to replace using,
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/backup/pationno.img of=/the/pation/where/you/want/to/restore
beware!
dd is very lethal in wrong hand, I recommend not use until you are knowing what are you doing, we dont have any TWRP so to save your device.

I am quite comfortable handling linux command line shells. However, since my Alcatel Streak phone is stuck at boot, not sure how I can get the adb shell?
After several rounds of factory reset, cache reset, no mater what, the phone simply won't boot and it is stuck with "google " or "android" welcome picture.
I noticed a a guideline of using cygwin in windows PC to run dd for backing up the phone partition image. Is it possible that I copy all your dd files into a cygwin in window 10 PC, then use USB cable to move the files into the phone or flash the phone?

I have figured out a way to root easier, I have flashed twrp (with some graphical issues... Working on it) flashed Xposed framework on it, and got native tethering working.

Latest Stock ROM we have | https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74529924&postcount=205
Sometimes Huawei releases an update package without approving it. For instance, my device (VIE-L29C636) is getting a B382 update, but the update isn't approved for installation. Here's how to update to those update packages.
NOTE: Using this method, you can also safely upgrade your device even if it is rooted, or has some files system partitions altered. (Of course after finished this process, your device will become unrooted and any alteration to the system partitions mentioned below will revert).
Prerequisites:
Your device is already running EMUI 5 (do not attempt this procedure on EMUI 4 ROM, as the partition layout may differ, and the various firmware (modem, sensor hub, etc.) may not compatible.
Unlocked Bootloader AND FRP.
Latest TWRP from OpenKirin (more on that, including download link, click here).
Huawei Update Extractor, for extracting UPDATE.APP.
imgtool, to convert the sparse android image into an ext4 raw image file.
Method:
Download your preferred update package from Firmware Finder app (Make sure to select the one which has 'FullOTA' designation on it. The package doesn't have to be a 'PV' package). Choose 'update.zip' and the other zip that has your region name on it (for instance, on my C636, look for the zip which has 'spcseas' on it's name). I will refer this 2nd zip as 'regional zip'.
Extract the 'UPDATE.APP' from both zip archive.
Using the Update Extractor on a Windows PC, Extract BOOT, SYSTEM, PRODUCT and VENDOR partitions from UPDATE.APP retrieved from 'update.zip', and extract CUST and VERSION from UPDATE.APP retrieved from your regional zip. You should end up with BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG, PRODUCT.IMG, VENDOR.IMG, CUST.IMG and VERSION.IMG.
Convert PRODUCT.IMG, VENDOR.IMG and VERSION.IMG to an ext4 image using imgtool, for example:
Code:
imgtool PRODUCT.IMG extract
Beware of overwriting the converted image. imgtool is hardcoded to output the converted file to 'extracted/image.img' folder. ALWAYS rename the image.img to something like 'product.ext4.img' after conversion.
Reboot your device to bootloader mode. Flash BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG and CUST.IMG via fastboot. For example:
Code:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG
Reboot your device to recovery mode. Type
Code:
fastboot reboot
and hold the Vol Up button on your device to enter recovery mode.
Upload the *.ext4.img converted earlier to your device (doesn't matter where, but I recommend using a safe place like '/sdcard', or USB OTG or external micro SD card). you can use 'adb push', MTP or OTG to upload/copy the ext4.img files to your device.
for each *.ext4.img files, flash it to the appropriate named partitions in
Code:
/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/*
. You can use adb shell on your PC, and a command line program called dd on your device. For faster transfer, try to adjusting the block size to 8M. Example commands (execute from adb shell):
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/product.ext4.img bs=8M of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/product
dd if=/sdcard/vendor.ext4.img bs=8M of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/vendor

Exit TWRP (reboot to system), wait for several minutes for the system to build up it's AOT cache, and enjoy your new EMUI 5 with newer security patch, newer kernel and various features and bug fixes .
EDIT: I apologize that IMGTOOL isn't available in binary form for windows. You can try to use Linux virtual machines to run the IMGTOOL. Any modern GNU/Linux distro should be able to run the IMGTOOL.
Be Alert, by follow this so called "Easy Upgrade", you need to full backup of your data. It is because after upgrade, all data will be reset.

In my case (upgrading from VIE-L29C636B370 to B382), it doesn't erase user data at all. And there is no reason it should erase the data.
But as always, backup your data before performing this procedure, in case something goes wrong.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that IMGTOOL is only available as binary in GNU/Linux OS. I think you have to use a VM running a GNU/Linux distro to extract product.img, version.img and/or vendor.img using the IMGTOOL.
@jnakoda
Thank you so much my friend. I was in great trouble as my System Update, File Explorer and Huawei ID apps was deleted from phone due to some experiment. I followed your guide and successfully flashed rom again and boom I got all files back.
Now going to experiment this on B382 firmware
And for those who are curious about this, I successfully used this process for 'meafnaf' region on P9 Plus (VIE-L29)
Once again thanks a lot @jnakoda

imgtool is for converting .img files to ext4 raw image files.
To extract files, you need to use "Huawei Update Extractor" which is mentioned in OP.

Image works on P9 Plus too. Used it for VIE-L09C432B380.
great post, but as a simple user, i have no idea how to do this steps.
i have a p9 plus c605 b361 and rooted, and i cant update to anything
Every time I want to update to a newer version do I need to repeat the steps?
Or I can directly install new updates from finder without confirmation?

and do the instructions from the OP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/eva-nocheck-recovery-flash-unapproved-t3705125
But with the RIGHT Firmware for your VIE-L29 device (3 zips from Firmware Finder /FullOTA)
After updating Firmware Bootloader is closed and Root is gone.
You have to open again (Factoryreset low-level wipe - if it doesn't do 100% do it manually from settings /advanced settings /backup restore /Factoryreset with wipe of internal storage - this is important! ) and flash TWRP and Root again
OK to start off this thread is meant to continue the work done in the thread here huawei-ascend-xt2-h1711 their were some good people working on stuff their but most seem to have moved on.
I decided to pick up the Elate this week from Best Buy and thought it might be time to start a new thread on rooting and restoring the Cricket version of this phone.
Rooting the H1711z Huawei Elate
First step is to unlock your bootloader at Huawei here > https://emui.huawei.com/en/unlock_detail
Well it seems Huawei is no longer unlocking the bootloader so you need to pay DC Unlocker to unlock your bootloader
follow the instructions posted here >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903
Also please make a backup of your own boot.img as soon as you flash TWRP before flashing the patched _boot.img provided
~Huge thanks to @aslezak for these instructions~
Root instructions: (I used Magisk Manager v5.5.3 boot.img patching to create the boot.img)
here is the stock boot.img for the Elate H1711z
I am not responsible if you brick your device. I didn't brick mine, but if you don't type the correct commands you could be in trouble
Copy this patched_boot.zip to your sdcard. You can download it from the device directly if that's easier. Insert the sdcard into the phone if it wasn't there already (e.g. if you downloaded from a computer).
Reboot phone into fastboot. The easiest way is, if phone is on, unplug phone from USB, hold power button / select "Power Off". Hold VolDown+Power. Phone will boot into fastboot mode.
(skip this step if you've already flashed TWRP) Flash TWRP into your recovery partition. The link was provided in an earlier post by yuweng twrp-xt2-v3.img
plug usb cable in (from phone to computer). From your computer / cmd.exe window, cd \adb:
fastboot devices #make sure computer adb/fastboot sees your device
fastboot flash recovery twrp_xt2_v3.img
Boot into TWRP. From the above step, you should "fastboot reboot", immediately unplug phone from USB, then
With the phone unplugged from the computer, hold VolUp+Power. Release power after the device reboots. It might take a couple tries .. select reboot from eRecovery if that starts instead. Alternatively you can boot into recovery through adb via "adb reboot recovery".
Tap "Keep Read Only" when TWRP starts.
Tap "Install", then tap "Install Image" at the bottom. Browse (Up a Level) then "external_sd"
If you unzipped the patched_boot.zip you will see patched_boot.img here. Select it.
Select "boot" (uncheck "recovery") partition to flash.
Swipe to confirm Flash
Tap "Reboot" once it's completed.
You should be rooted!
Note: if Magisk Manager does not appear in your list of installed applications, download & install it from here latest Magisk Manager. Without this, you won't be prompted to allow root!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: Magisk Manager will update you to version 16 on first run, it's OK to update in fact feel free to flash it in recovery before you reboot if you want it.
A couple notes about twrp_xt2_v3.img
when you start TWRP choose keep system read only - Unless your planing to restore a backup then choose to make system writable
You cannot backup or restore /data (it's encrypted so don't even try)
Do not use Wipe / factory reset or format data unless you have a good working backup of your userdata partition that you dd to your external_sd yourself see below
From TWRP / adb shell
paste these commands
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata | bzip2 -9f > /external_sd/userdata.img.bz2
to restore--> bzip2 -dc /external_sd/userdata.img.bz2 | dd of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system | bzip2 -9f > /external_sd/system.img.bz2
to restore--> bzip2 -dc /external_sd/system.img.bz2 | dd of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system
again thanks go to aslezak
When choosing a backup always prefer the image instead of the stock files (system image - custom image - vendor image are best )(Never choose both system and system image at the same time it's too big and a waste of time and space)
when you exit TWRP do not choose to install the twrp app
Also be sure and thank aslezak for his post here > https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75115521&postcount=286
Notes on booting up the phone (from power off)
Bootloader (fastboot) = power + volume down + USB hooked to pc
eRecovery = power + volume up + USB hooked to PC
TWRP = power + volume up
Restoring your phone to Stock
We now have the B120 Stock dload update See here >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=76902495&highlight=dload#post76902495

I got tired of seeing the error in twrp_v3 about not mounting patch_hw and fixed it ->> Here

NOTE: added by scrungydoolittle I had a problem with the bz2 image. I prefer to not run it through bz2
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /external_sd/userdata.img
to restore--> dd if=/external_sd/userdata.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /external_sd/system.im
to restore--> dd if= /external_sd/system.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system
Of course, the downside is you need a fairly large external sd card.
@scrungydoolittle Please edit you post and remove the Quote of the first post
also the file you posted is not for this phone please remove the link
as to you having problems with the bz2 image they work fine if you follow the instructions
I instructed the user to create their OWN backup of userdata before they format / wipe their data partition
this file most likely contains the users IMEI and should not be shared.

O.k. I removed the link. It was for the H1711 AT&T phone as it turns out.
And I don't think that image has the IMEI in it, because it is clearly the /system image, and I don't think that data is stored in that partition.
Otherwise all of the posted system images would have the same issue...

I would not share a userdata backup unless it was after a factory reset and before I entered any personal account information or data. Agree with you on that
I'd love to see a reliable reference that says userdata contains the IMEI or if you know specifically where it's stored, because l thought IMEI is stored in a totally different partition.

IMEI is stored in data/data/com.android.phone
Thank you
Found the IMEI in
/data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/
com.android.phone_preferences.xml on my H1611 after your post.
I'm guessing the IMEI is copied from another partition, but the fact that it's in /data is news to me.
I wonder if the IMEI is in the above file after a factory reset , but I'm not planning to find out anytime soon .
People, be careful sharing your userdata partition backups and other sensitive data containing partition backups out there - unless of course you don't give a crap about security - which you should preface up front so as to not mislead uninformed people of the risks involved in sharing those sensitive data partitions.

The image for system is available, a patched bootloader that installs magisk, an unpatched boot loader, the recovery and e recovery are the same.
I'd like to see 2 flashable zips.
1. that does stock
2. that installs twrp and magisk.
I have all those, but I'm not sure how to make the zip. Is it simply a matter of opening it in a zip prgram and replacing the mentioned image files
with appropriate ones?

@scrungydoolittle,
I was going to say the same.. .. The reason for clsAs comment is.. .
It's considered bad practice to post the OP or any other long posts unnecessarily. It makes it extremely difficult and annoying for others to wade past the huge quoted post to see what you said.
You can just quote the relevant part of a post (as I did below), refer to post 1 as the OP, or put a link to the post you are referring to.
Hopefully this explanation will get you to edit your last post and reconsider quoting long posts in the future.
Thanks

I'm hoping for some help in rooting my Elate. I was able to get the unlock code from Huawei. I downloaded the ADB and Fastboot drivers from the Android Tutorials page.
ADB recognizes my device when in normal mode. But when I reboot into Bootloader mode, the device is not recognized. It does not show up in Windows device manager and the command "adb devices" is null. I can't get past this point which is clearly a driver problem.
I also have installed and uninstalled Hi-suite a number of times.
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.
