TWRP restore on vf-895 Smart Prime 6 (how) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I need to restore some twrp images. I have these on my PC but I forget where they should go. I've tried putting there on the SD card in TWRP\Backup but restore doesn't see them so I moved them to the top of the SD card but it still doesn't see them. Where should they go?
FYII recently had my vf-895 play up. I'd previously installed twrp and magisk and it was working if rather slow. Then it started to take 20min to send or receive txts and swapping sim to another phone stopped that (so fault was with phone). I thought I'd try LineageOS since getdriodtips site says there is a 14.1 version for the smart prime 6. Didn't work for me although I'm not sure I did it right. I just pointed twrp at the zip. But also zip has 839 in the name not 895 and more googling suggests the getdriodtips for for the smart ultra 7 (or 6 I forget, not not the prime anyway). The other getdroidtips suggestion of MIUI 8 also didn't work for me but maybe I'm not doing it right.
Will twrp just install a zipped custom rom or does it have to be a special zip? Or how to I do this (other than using adb which often take a while to get working I find).
Thanks
UPDATE, after posting this I had a though, do a backup and see where it goes. Now I'm really confused as the files I have are TWRP 3.0.0-0_VF-895N.img and the like so all *.img where as the backup is a folder with *.win and *.win.md5.

I've come to the conclusion that TWRP 3.0.0-0_VF-895N.img is just the recovery img to load TWRP instead of stock recovery. Hence I don't have a backup like I thought. If anyone has a TWRP backup for a smart prime 6 (UK) I would appreciate a copy.
I've tried stock rom downloads but they all use sugar and I can't get sugar to recognise the phone and/or install the usb drivers. When I put TWRP in adb sideload then the phone with adb appears in control panel so the cable works.
I've tried other ROM and some even flash but after the phone just boot loops.

[Q] Nabi 2 rooting error

Hi everyone
I bought 3 tablets for Chrismas for my nephews
I have been able to root and install gapps (to have google store) on two of them using NABILAB FULL GUI.
However, the third one didn't work, even I was using the same tutorial....I think It was a UK version tablet
After rooting, the tablet didn't have the gopogle store, and didnt have the wifi as well , I have tried to delete evry thing to return to the factory setting but I ended up with a tablet with no OS, When I turn it on, I get a black screen with the table 'NabiSetup' on the top left.
I contacted NAbi support, But they said that it was an error if rooted tablet, so they don't give any support :crying:
Is their any way to reinstall NABI OS ??
Thanks
Anyway to install, or have you installed a custom recovery on the tablet?

If you are in the US you can try this --
1. Make sure TWRP 2.6.3.0 for Jellybean is on the Nabi. Otherwise, install it.
2. Download the stock 2.3.11 ROM from the Nabi wiki site and unzip it into a folder on your PC.
3. Next you need to copy the 4 recovery files from your PC to your SD card. I put the SD card into my PC and copied the files over putting them into a TWRP back up folder on the SD card. Now, in order for Jellybean TWRP to recognize the backup, I had to fool it into thinking I had a "good" existing Jellybean TWRP backup and rename the TWRP backup folders to something like this:
TWRP\BACKUPS\0f41000001000000\2014-01-24--09-54-07 JRO03C\
4. Put the SD card back into the Nabi and then boot into TWRP mode.
5. Do a restore from there.
It *should* install a clean fresh copy of Jellybean on the Nabi. It does take what seems like an eternity for it to get past the spinning circle with the NABI logo when it's loading for the first time so be patient.

Requesting help ROM HTC One Max 8060 T6DUG (2-Sim)

Hello my fella Developers.
lets do this again. i have the threat all typed up with details and closed it by an accident.
anyways
I have htc one max 8060-t6dug Chinese variant without OS. HTC-1
I had issues with this one, it came with bloatware and lots of it. some of it is pornographic. (got kids who play with my phone)
i decided to root, got the TWRP Recovery. flashed with latest SuperSU. got titanium pro (paid) to get rid of unwanted bloatware. i guess i missed out on something. as soon as i connect with wifi. it starts to download apps. and formatting doesnt help. so i thought maybe repeat the process. BUT in recovery i accidentally wiped system.
i have been through xda developers forums completely found some roms but dead links.
went though several other sites without any luck.
went though Chinese forums (Baidu i think) found some firmwares but TWRP gives me error trying to flash it.
i have tried to flash these with adb command, but mostly get remote not allowed error or space not allocated error.
came back to xda forums and found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...m-ruu-htc-one-max-809d-t6dwg-sense-5-t3006498
i know this is for t6dwg variant.
t6dwg and t6dug are both Chinese variants and dual sim. i have tried all roms listed on this thread. TWRP Flashed it fine but now when it boots up and gets to lock screen, when i unlock it it show HTC white screen and restarts after a min or so.
I went to the store and purchased another htc one max, same variant. HTC-2
i thought maybe make a nandroid back up and flash it to HTC-1
i repeated the steps and got HTC-2 rooted, latest TWRP, and made the back up. but i am unable to flash it into HTC-1
HTC-1 rooted with latest SuperSu, latest TWRP recovery, unlocked boothloader, s-off, cid-11111111
issues, NO OS!
http://picpaste.com/pics/htc1-l8ImCwQL.1462326306.jpg
HTC-2 rooted with latest SuperSu, latest TWRP recovery, unlocked boothloader, s-off, cid-11111111, boots perfect,
issues, bloatware
http://picpaste.com/pics/htc2-BrCDb5Tw.1462326402.jpg
lets not forget its been about a month since i am trying to figure this out without disturbing developers and wasting their time. this is my last resort
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Anyone out there to my rescue?
@waqas9240 So you made the backup with TWRP? Why not backup to an sdcard one the working one. Place the sdcard in the non-working one and do a restore.

@Flyhalf205! I know i can always count on you for this. yes i used TWRP to make the backup from the working htc and stored it on SD card. and pushed SD card on the non-working Htc but it doesnt recognize it in restore mood in TWRP. i can see the file in Install method that if it has been compressed, but it doesnt let me flash it.

Now if I remember correctly inside the TWRP folder will be another folder. The folder name could be the the serial. You'll have to get onto a computer and verify that the backup is in the correct folder inside the TWRP folder.
A good way to verify. On the non-working device, do a backup on just the boot to the sdcard. Then see if you can plug both devices into the computer at the same time to see the directory layout. Then you can copy the backup into the right folders.
Once you bring up TWRP on the non-working device. You should be able to select and swipe to restore perfectly.

thats what i thought at first. i confirmed the path on both phones. i even got to push the back up in the non working htc to restore from the root as it was located in the working htc max. still does the samething. the second folder after TWRP is serial number folder. i even renamed the serial number to the non working htc ( i dont know if that would have made a difference or not) but still running the same issue. i dont have both phones on me right now. they are at home. let me finish work and will try it again as you explained.
meanwhile if you can figure out something else that would be great bro!
Thanks

How to install an update.zip with not matching device id

Hi. Recently I stuffed my ZTE Blade A452 with MIUI ROM found on here: hxxp://forum.android.com.pl/topic/319435-a452miui-v8-miui-global-8020. I also installed TWRP . I've been using it for a while and unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. It is barely usable, phone crashes a few times a day, apps aren't kept in background.
I decided to come back to my stock ROM. I don't have, however, any back up of it. There are some sdcard packages on ZTE's support page, however when I tried to install it with TWRP, it displays that packages (all of them) are for device id P635F33, while my device is P635E40. And I found nothing for my dev id.
Is there a way to force installing one of those packages in my phone? Editing version.txt inside update.zip did nothing.
Maybe one of you guys have a matching package?
Also my sister's got the same model, Blade A452, bought at the same service provider. Maybe there is a way to extract a ROM from her phone and put it into mine? (Her device must be left quite untouched).

You Have a Same Phone Available .That is Great. You can give her Sleep Drug Sneak Into Her Room.Get the Phone From Under The pillow.And Now You can Unlock The bootloader flash TWRP Make a Backup and Then Flash Stock Recovery.Then Put The Phone Back Under The Pillow.The Process Will only Take about 30Mins.
5Min to unlock Bootloader
2.5Min to flash TWRP.
2.5Min to install stock Recovery
And 20 min to move the back Up
Or
You can Slice her Throat and Get the phone.Seriously Save 30Min of time.
Or
You can Backup Using a Desktop Application and Restore on your Phone.

Yeah, TWRP on her phone isn't an option, as the whole system is quite buggy and she's gonna probably use the restore option. I'm gonna try with some desktop apps and give an answer in 1-2 hours. Thank you.
Sorry it took so long to answer.
I couldn't make a nandroid backup any desktop app (MTK Droid Tools can't create scatter file, couldn't find any other app).
As I said, TWRP was not an option. But I managed to do the nandroid backup from phone-level anyways.
First I rooted the source device with KingRoot, installed on it BusyBox and made a custom TWRP-style backup on SDcard with Online Nandroid Backup *ROOT. Default settings are fine, even though it couldn't recognize my phone model.
Then I moved SD into target device and performed a backup with TWRP (just to create my device directory). Then I moved the source-phone backup into the new-created directory and performed Restore.
And Voila! On my phone there was a 1:1 copy of the system. It wiped out TWRP so I could perform a system Restore and get a factory-new soft.
Thank You. I didn't even realize it was possible to restore A-Backup on B-Device. Even though my sister's phone was a P635F33 (I didn't know it earlier) and mine was P635E40, it worked well.

Can't reinstall any rom on Honor 9

Hi all,
I m facing a trouble with my Honor 9
I first installed the TRWP and magisk on my stock rom. After a day or two my files in the internal storage were been encrypted (except when I look them into twrp). I tried to flash and restore to stock but he didn't let me access to write on the internal storage. I try to move the update.app in the dload folder but it's too big for the fat 32 partition. I tried to extract the recovery.img and the system.img to reflash them with twrp but error each time. Tried to flash the zip directly error on 2 on 3. I tried to flash lineage 14.1 it s flash good until the end but the phone stops and make black screen re-enter after the booting message on bootloader and after 5mn its overheating. Tried another custom rom but it did the same... Any help of what I can do?
I can't restore by wiping its tells me no OS present
EDIT : I was finally success to be able to access back to normal with the HWOTA method. I was able to access to my sd card by a HUAWEI p8 lite 2017, i copied files onto instead of place them on the computer, it works i installed first the B130 update but the back buttons weren't working, finally did again the process with the B120 and it fixes all my troubles. Don't forget to format data one time to not be in my situation of encryption of system storage without a first official update (i have read that if you update your phone the encryption will be disabled because it's by default enabled.
Thanks to all this community because i found the solution here on the Rebrand Honor 9 Thread. Even if i had no answer here, i had to thanks all devs here who make a lot of hard work
You can now close this topic, I can't find where to close it by myself.

Stock ROM for the SM-T380 Rooted, Bloatware free TWRP backup

Since there isn't any Custom ROM for the SM-T380 I made this TWRP back from my tablet, running on stock Oreo took all the bloatware, Knox out to add some root mods, and latest updates with Magisk root. No other personal app added
This is a compressed TWRP backup, not a flashable ZIP!
Download it from here

Hi, I have a T380, I thought about installing this, but before I do, will this work on the t380? Because you have T380T, and I have T380. And if I want, can I put some of the stock apps back on?
Indeed it works on a T380

I just installed it on my T380.. Be sure to follow the directions entirely. And remember to reboot TWRP after putting the sdcard with the backup files back in or else it may not read it (mine would not).

followed the directions but device wont read the backup file. would you mind posting all the steps you took to do the backup.
I had the same issue, so when the proper backup files are in place on the ext sdcard and reinserted into the device, but the device won't read it -- for me, I had to reboot the device into recovery and THEN it would read it.
Hi,a friend is running android 9 stock on the T-380.Does not have alot of apps installed,but hardly and internal memory left.I was thinking of rooting it,and uninstalling some system apps. Can you possibly tell me which system apps are safe to uninstall on this tablet?

always change apk extension with .APKbak
so if you got into mess you can rename the APKbak into .APK
if i got android 9 can i do this it?
Is file support with t385??
I want to personally thank you for this TWRP image! I completely hosed my sm-T380 that I just got as a backup tablet while trying to root it.
This did the trick Thank you again!!!
I did this using internal memory and all ok. thanks.
I need to say THANK YOU BRO!!!! You just saved my ass!!
But can't tell how much a custom ROM is needed for this device.
Only things to do, is to remove all the bloat left whit the link you provide above and that's it.
Once again, 3 thumbs up! (don't ask me where I found the third one lolll)
it's a great work .I want download it, but I can't download google file directly(site blockked), I have to through VPN.So the speed is not quick enough for me,I can't complete the downloading within an hour when google vary the token.The download work can't continue and must restart from the beginning.
If you have time,would you please split it into several parts,each size blow 300M?Thanks a lot,this file I think useful and can give me big help and save me time.
