You can your phone, unlock bootloader first, back up your data, imei
If you flash the room and everything will be ok - give a feedback
@dEFLASH did you manage to flash it?
Would you happen to have the full chinese rom?

If you not unlock bootloader - you'll got issue like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-how-to-solve-frimware-problem.4286635/
So,
In the end, I was finally able to flash Global ROM over China ROM. All I did was using QFIL (same procedure I described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-how-to-solve-frimware-problem.4286635/post-85195767 to get device to bootable state, just with Global ROM.
Phone boots up but after OS is started I get the message that this OS version is not compatible with the hardware (see attached screenshot). Any idea here? I dont think its easily solved...

I am looking for 2.3 ROM as long as it has english interface and come with Android apps... I shouldn't have flash the China ROM since it come with crap load of useless apps and no Google apps (market, gmail, maps) at all!!
If you have the link of the Brazil, or your Claro ROM can you share with me please?
guys i found a way to do it, my moto xt316 is now using 2.3.4 and rooted and link2sd so i have normally 7x mb in ram, and it's very smooth
i also have my google apps installed, gmail, calendar etc are functioning, unfortunately the market is still out of luck, crashed immediately after launched.
is there any one like to know the procedure? if yes i can share something. Honestly i think many people might have switched to some other higher-end phone because the xt316 with original moto rom is TERRIBLE....i only had about 2x mb ram
please tell me if any brother would like to know. thanks
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Thanks for the instruction indeed. i managed to root my 2.3.4 by this method. Any advices on how to make more available ram? The best would be to create a swap partition, but swapper doesn't work for me. I read, that not all kernel version supports swap. Is that true? if so, what to do then?
does someone have a ROM (2.3.4) for Fire XT311/316? the original or a backuped?
maybe its possible to create a selfmade update.zip

Hi,
I have the same phone and recently I've been in touch with the Italian distributor and they give me this link to the latest ROM:
https://mega.co.nz/#!uZp0wQaI!fHH2GD...wsTGsWKaaBoQaA
ROM must be flashed with spflashtools version 5.1343.01 or above.
Since you have this phone... I have an issue with bluetooth headset: the device is paired correctly and works fine (I can make and answer calls) but no operation is performed when I long press the headset button... I have both voice search and KLets installed but I cannot make any of them start when long press is performed, do you have any experience on this?
Thanks in advance.
hi, can you please better write the MEGA link? it's incomplete...
also please be sure there is any encription for download.
thanks so much

Hi guys,
My phone bricked after flashing with this rom.
What should I do? I'm stuck :crying:
for the roms and tools for Star Z2 can be found on "talkmobi" page you have to google search for it as i am unable to post links yet:
there are two sections you have to look at:
"rom download & flash guide" (top menu link + click on it) --- flash tools, drivers & tutorial get printer handy
and the second "fast card tech rom released july" (hover on the link above and a menu will apear after downloading the mtk tools and drivers from the link itself) --- on this list there is the official Star Z2 Rom do not forget to write down the 4 digit password you will need that code to unzip/unrar file as archives are password protected.
used them to unbrick my jiayu G3T now working flawlessly
good luck.
Hi pedromap, could you precise your talkmobi page please, didn't found anything about it on google !
Thanks !

Battery life is poor, less than one day if you use it a bit intensively
sorry guys out fo date info had to be removed***
now there are two pages with the afore mentioned star z2 roms they keep changing it
1st they moved the star z2 rom to the page:
www.android-mobile-phone-reviews.com/system-upgrade-root/fastcardtech-rom/ --- you need to reply to post so you can see the links i wish they stopped changing things it is annoying!!!
2nd there is another site that may be of interest:
www.needrom.com/category/star/z2-star/ -- you need to create a user account to download
now back to the topic of Star Z2/Alps X3T
I am finding this phone very good and with good consistent Benchmarking scores
The only thing that is holding this phone back is the Firmware wold love to have a kitkat or Android L Roms available for it and an easy to install recovery for it.
The question is where can i find such things?
it is brilliant and the snap in cover that came with it is very good at protecting it from falls dropped it already 5x and still works and still looks good!!
Tengda Z2 brick revival
Hey guys,
this ROM ( bit.ly/TengdaZ2ROM ) is actually a backup I found on 4pda.ru after I bricked my Tengda Z2 phone using the Star Z2 ROM I found here. It can be flashed using SP flash tool v5 or higher.
Another ROM link: needrom.com/download/tengda-z2-rom-backup/
There are two (or maybe even more?) versions of this phone. One has 1280x720p LCD and the second one (the one I received from Pandawill... sadly) has only 854x480p LCD... That's the reason why any Star Z2 ROM may brick your Tengda Z2. It's actually not bricked, but the Star Z2 has different LCD driver, so it's LCD is blank after flashing it.
Because it's someone's backup, use recovery or your Tengda's menu to perform data wipe/factory reset. I had wifi issue (there was no mac adress in my phone after flashing it), but the factory settings solved it.
There may also be a problem with your IMEI number, in that case, write your IMEI numbers down on a paper and then use this way to change them:
Get MTKDroidTools, use them to root your phone and installing the Mobile Uncle Tools (using the SuperUser button in MTKDroidTools) in your Tengda Z2. There is a plenty of howto's on the net or YouTube so I'm not going to write the whole process. It's really easy. When you're in the MTKDroidTools, I also recommned you to use "delete chinnese files" button, It will make your phone work smoother.
Then use this method (coppied from XDA, can't find the original thread so sorry):
1- Rooted MTK Smartphone
2- Mobile Uncle Tools from Google play store.
3- Install it and goto Engineer Mode
4- Select Engineer mode[MTK]
5- Under Connectivity Tab go to CDS information
6- Select Radio Information
7- Select Phone1 (for the first imei)
8- at the top there is a command line which begins “AT+” just type there “AT +EGMR=1,7,”IMEI_1″ (instead of IMEI_1 put your first imei number)
9- hit send command
10- You will / may get a confirmation that "sent to mSend".
11-Now come back and select “Phone2″
12-at the top there is a command line which begins “AT+” just type there “AT +EGMR=1,10,”IMEI_2″ (instead of IMEI_2 put your second imei number)
13-Then just reboot the phone.
14-Dial ” *#06#” to Check Imei.
That's all, your phone should be working as before, or even better if you use the delete chinese files in MTKDroidTools :good:

Introduction
There are some myths and misbeliefs around unlocking the Xiaomi Mi 5. And as I got lucky and got my Mi 5 early and unlocked it, I will share some screenshots as well as my opinion on this matter.
What shall I do? How to increase my chances?
Right now there is no custom ROM, and if you want root access, you can get it through the Security App of MIUI. So that means you can spend the next weeks to become a Diamond member on the forum, post a bit everyday and you get it fast. As Diamond members on the MIUI forum are whitelisted, it will increase your chances.
Good to know, good to have
Your MI Account must be allowed to unlock phones

Q: Can I lock the bootloader again?
A: Yes, the Fastboot-ROM includes a flash_all_lock script
Q: Can one Mi Account unlock several phones?
A: Yes and No. One Mi Account can unlock one phone every 30 days.
Q: Does the fingerprint scanner work after unlock?
A: Yes, I noticed no difference, so far it works like a charm.
Q: Why do I need / want an unlocked bootloader?
A: It allows you to flash custom Recovery and Custom ROMs as well as use the Mi-Flash tool.

A: By default it is yes. (See the following screenshot)

Man, I didn't see you before on xiaomi.eu or mi2s section but guys like YOU are the reason why this community is alive. In less than a day you have cleared up all my doubts about mi5 wich I was wondering as my next purchase. Now I nearly have no doubts (only price).
So let me say you a huge THANK YOU. This start is what I call a "good star" for this device
Back on topic, I have a decent number of posts on en.miui.com and far less on miui.com do you think this is taken into consideration when evaluating the unlock request by xiaomi engineers? I've heard so. Did you receive the unlock code by sms or it was instant as shown in your slides?

I had a Mi4i (for about a month or so) and was in the MIUI Device team with ~900 Credits, but as the hardware failed I sold the Mi4i last summer. Since then I was more or less inactive on http://en.miui.com/forum.php ... When the apply for unlocking came out sometime in December / January, I asked to get the unlock allowance, but forgot about it. So I can't remember at all, and am of no help.
A friend got a Redmi Note 3 (Pro), has an MI account with only ~80 Credits and got the unlock allowance quite fast. (around a week)
He did receive a message on his phone today:
I have read that there some claim you need at least ~300 credits so that myth got proven wrong with his unlock. But I don't get the pattern. I have no idea how it works.

There is only one ROM for the Mi5 and that's the China ROM (stable). I am on 7.2.6 right now.
Mate on the second image i see "checking if your Mi Account has permission" have you made something to get permissions? Because i read somewhere that for unlocking bootloader you need a particular status on Miui forum...thanks in advance!
http://www.miui.com/unlock/
Is there an English version of this website?
nvm, found it:
http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Doesn't seem to work though
I've asked for permission with just 40 credits. Let's see what they reply in about 10 days.

Hey,
very well observed. You have to apply for an unlock. I will edit the first post and try to make it more clear.

Ha ha ha we have the same chances,i have 70 points :laugh:
Just a quick question... i'm planning to buy an MI5 when the pro version will be released: i've around 170 credits on their forum, and i'm slowly grinding up to 500 in order to achieve diamond membership because i heard that if you're a diamond member your request will be more likely accepted...
Now, for example, if you get declined for the bootloader unlock can you just apply again? you have to wait some time? or you can't apply anymore?

I'm in the same situation as you but unfortunately i haven't any credit on the forum...but i'm planning to buy the 64 Gb version (and gold if possible )...i follow the thread.
PS Mate also i'm italian, and also i have a Nexus 5 with CAF rom
Updated the topic a bit and added the information (you may know this already); that Diamond members are whitelisted, means they should get it faster and are more likely to get it. (It's still no guarantee)
I have never replied to any thread on their s***ty forum, got the permission after two/three weeks or sth. I don't even have any device to unlock, but maybe in the future.
Thank you..

On the latest developer ROM you can root in the Security Center, there is no need to install TWRP, just for rooting the phone.
(But if you **** up system apps and brick it, you may want to have TWRP)

Are you sure it is possible without an unlocked bootloader? When I installed the dev ROM in the Security Center I only got a page in chinese which basically said I needed an unlocked bootloader...

Nope, I am not sure, but assumed so.
Like what's the point of doing it only for unlocked phones? On those phones, it's easy to boot into TWRP and sideload SuperSU.
So you are on the latest Chinese Developer firmware 6.3.17 and don't see the following screen:

Anyway if i'm getting rejected the first time, may i try to apply again right after with the same account? or i'm locked out forever?

I searched almost everywhere for custom/stock ROM,but noting is Compatible with my phone!
Sometime it says : ''Error:8'',
Sometime : ''Error:9''
Sometime : ''Unexpected Error Occurred''

I just need my Phone to work,no matter CUSTOM or STOCK ROM!!!
I couldn't find any Full STOCK Firmware,which can Unbrick my phone.
All I'm getting is OTA-Updates/fullOTA-MF,which don't work AT ALL!!!
I even visited LineageOS website for custom ROM,but,there is no custom ROM for my phone.
Can you guys Help me finding the ROM? [Custom or Stock]

Hi guys, Malaysian here. I had RNE-L22C636B142 before, and like you guys, i also TRIED to unlock bootloader and root my device; only to find the beloved feature (huawei Histen) gone missing afterward, and badly need to go back; unfortunately Huawei is so much different than previous phones I had; no Full OTA available until now.
I researched a bit and find that my model was for South East Asia (C636), and there's no firmware available (to date). The closest I can get is firmware from India (C675), and luckily someone here posted how to do it.
I managed to get my phone that was bricked before to life, but still there's no Huawei Histen available. I learn that some feature made by Huawei will be gone after bootloader unlock, after exchanging emails with Huawei Support team.
Thus, even after getting this phone running, the issue is LOW volume when using headset. The solution is to get Magisk V16, and install Viper4Android, and adjust the Playback Gain Control to Extreme & 5X max gain.
Hope this helps.
How to pull stock firmware
i think it is possible to pull our own stock firmware from our device using this method:
i need backup copy of rom RNE-L22C636B142.
Hello! Can someone please give me a backup copy of rom RNE-L22C636B142. thank you.
sorry for my english
Same as bro. I'm beginning to regret ever buying this phone. No firmware support at all. Not from Huawei nor developers. It's a real shame. Please let me know if you ever get your phone unbricked.

How to get Stock Firmware Package for Huawei Nova 2i RNE-L22C675 ?? Can't find it any where. I need the Stock Firmware Package for Huawei Nova 2i RNE-L22C675 with EMUI 5.0??
I'm beginning to regret getting this phone cause there is literally no firmware support, neither from Huawei nor developers. Which is surprising cause it is came out the ending of last 2017. It's a real shame.
Anyways, if any of you guys have legit unbricking solution for this phone model would be much appreciated.

The ROM you mentioned is here in this Nova 2i thread (L22C675). Download it and Restore it using TWRP restore function. But do the rebranding first (into Honor 9i) or your phone will bootloop.
Huawei people said (in KL) they can't guarantee that they can get me back the stock ROM.
I don't know what do you understand about unbricking, but as far as i concern, it's quite hard to brick this phone, as long as you got the google account with it and the unlock bootloader code. Also a running Fastboot and Rescue mode.
For the time being, I'm settled with Elemental kang ROM . It is compatible with my Nova 2i (previously RNE L22-C636B142). I selected Mate 10 lite camera, Viper4Android for audio mod and now my phone is up and running without any problem. Low volume issue has also been rectified.
If you're good at chinese characters, you can opt to flash RNE AL00 firmware from china (Maimang 6). It works too in my phone, but can't use it since the volume is low at the headphone output. Cheers.
Thanks a bunch bro. Your input really helped to finally getting my phone to work AGAIN! I used a tool called "Huawei Multi-Tool v8" to unlock the bootloader and from there my internal storge opened up. So I used TWRP to flash the Elemental kang.
I still would like to flash Huawei Nova 2i Stock firmware, so until then I'll stick to the ROM or if there's another ROM from another developer.
Anyways, thank you bro.
P.S.
A top dude called litvcom, directed me to other developments for this, so I reckon to share this should in case you would like to try other developments as well.
Search here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...er-development Nova 2i, Maimang 6, Honor 9i, G10 - Mate 10 Lite
To anyone who's still on stock but with unlocked bootloader, have you tried manually pulling your own firmware via adb?

nova 2i pretty new so you just need to wait for the custom rom. your phone is pretty popular so there should be one or two in the future. why did you wipe your phone after rooting? you use that when you are factory resetting or installing new rom. Usually you do not even have to use advance. If i find the stock firmware for your phone i will let you know. Good luck buddy.

I think it's not full firmware just ota at 400+ MB. His best bet would be if
1.there's someone with same device and region (like mine) who has an unlocked bootloader but still on stock. That guy can pull his own stock full firmware, zip it, upload somewhere and share here.
2.there' someone who has recieved the oreo update (3.18GB). Capture the ota url while downloading ao share here.

Using firmware finder, i was able to capture the Full OTA url for the oreo update to nova 2i RNE-L22. it comes in 3 parts, all in zip format. someone has told me that maybe those rooted users or those with custom recoveries can flash those zips.
Try this link man. New oreo 8 firmware for rne-l22c636

How to install
any guideto unlock and root this blazing phone???
I just bought this phone and I was surprised by the complete lack of support almost anywhere. It's like the device doesn't exist. I want to give it a chance but if things remained the same, I'll have to sell it.
Black Shark
I want to root too. How do people initiate.
The Black Shark is fairly new. Especially the Global Version.
Since it is also quite hard to get you need to have patience.
As for the Global Version i already posted a Solution on how to unlock the Bootloader here.
For the Chinese Version there is no known way how to do it currently. There are a few guides online claiming how to do it but its not working according to some Posts.
So till someone with deeper knowledge of TWRP Programming comes around the corner i guess we are unlucky regarding Root/TWRP.

It was just luck. I checked a few sides and on one i found different commands. One being the Unlock code i used. Which is a generic code.

Simple and easy. I just thought give it a try and it did work. But like i said its different for the Chinese Version since the OS is also a bit different.

Damn, that was lucky! :laugh:
Maybe with the release of the Helo in Europe they will release the procedure...
So i wrote a Mail to the BlackShark Team a few days ago and received this as answer:
I bought the Global Version of the Black Shark 1 month ago.
It is a really great Phone but a few things are missing imho.
First of all i would like to achieve root access but to gain this i would either need a boot.img File or the complete Global ROM. But unfortunately it seems not to be open Source. Also i would like to have TWRP so if any issues arise i would like to make a complete Full Backup of the Phone including System and Stuff before installing any new OS Updates to avoid data loss.
I already figured out how to unlock the Bootloader for the Global Device but it seems it is different for people with the Chinese Version where some people also would like to have root and install the Global Rom on their SKR-A0.
So coming to my questions.
Could you send me the Boot.img or the complete Global ROM so i could patch it to get Root?
What is the way to unlock the Bootloader on the Chinese Version?
Using Fastboot flashing unlock like for the Global Version returns
Failed <Unlock is not allowed on device has sales on market!>
What does this mean? Is the Unlock not allowed till the chinese version is not sold anymore?
Even if the answer to all questions is no thats not possible i would love to get a response.
Kind Regards and Hope to hear from you soon

I doubt that it will help since i never got a reply per Mail. The reply was given to me in the Facebook Chat of the Global Facebook Page.
I would suggest either asking the Seller for it as written in the response or trying to write to the BlackShark Chinese FB Page. Since you have the Chinese Version.
The experience continues ^^
I wrote a message to the Shop i purchased my Black Shark at.
Hi Guys,
i have a question regarding the phone.
I would like to root it so i can install a custom TWRP Recovery and backup my whole data once in a while.
To do so i would need the Global ROM or just the boot.img
Could you send me a link for it?
Also i have a question regarding the Chinese Version. Do you know how to unlock the Bootloader on it and root it so you can install the Global ROM on it?
Kind Regards and hope to hear from you soon,

My reply to that:
Hi, yes i know that that might brick the device and void my waranty. The device is working good currently but i need root and the full backup for various reasons. To backup some apps i need access to /data which i currently not have without root. I also need to read and write some system variables for apps which is not working without root. So it would be great if you could provide me with the ROM or boot.img.
Kind Regards,

That's great! So happy that this community is not dead yet! :highfive:
Unfortunately nor Blackshark or the Seller want to provide me with the Image.
As of now there is a new Update for the Chinese Version available called G66X1811300CN00MPX
If anyone with a CN Version of the Phone would like to try to get me the Logs i might be able to grep the ROM or Update from the Servers.
To get the Logs do the following:
Go to Settings/System/About the Phone and tap on Build-Number till it says you are a dev now.
Then unter Settings/System and check under System Updates for the new Update.
While its downloading go to Settings/System/Developer Options and click on Take bug report.
Choose Interactive Report and click on Report at the bottom.
After a while it will tell you that the Log is finished. You can then send it per mail or save it on your device.
Then Download it to your Desktop or upload it directly to Google Drive or something and send me a link.
Kind Regards,

Alright. New stuuuuuuff. Today i received an OTA Update on my Shark. Which i could succesfully download to my Computer.

care_map.txt
compatibility.zip
META-INF
payload.bin
payload_properties.txt
I extracted the Payload.bin with payload_dumper Thanks to this post
Which resulted in the following Files:
Code:
.gitkeep
abl.img
aop.img
bluetooth.img
boot.img
cmnlib.img
cmnlib64.img
custom.img
devcfg.img
dsp.img
dtbo.img
hyp.img
keymaster.img
modem.img
qupfw.img
storsec.img
system.img
tz.img
vbmeta.img
vendor.img
xbl.img
xbl_config.img
So this might mean we are able to install Magisk with the boot.img file extracted from the ZIP. Currently im unsure if im willing to risk a brick. But on second thought i can reinstall the original boot.img if its not working.
I will keep you updated.
Kind Regards,

New news. After bugging the guys over in the original Blackshark Forums like hell and on FB too. They created a Ticket with the Feature Request for Rooting. Maybe something will come out of that.
As for the files from the update. There is no Boot.img in there. Only a boot.img.p (Ty to osm0sis for figuring that out) which is a binary patch for the actual boot.img.
Aaaaand another Dead End.
Today i received this reply on the Ticket:
Hi there,
Thanks for letting us know! But currently we don't give support on rooting your device, and also custom images.
Our internal team is still in discussion about how and when are we going to support it or not.
If our policy changed, I'll let you know.

Damn this a real shame, I can get this phone for about 300usd but as it seems like I'm stuck with stock. And whoever knows when they drop the support and updates for this phone. ?
