EDIT FROM THE ARCHANGEL: DO NOT USE THIS RECOVERY IT WILL BRICK YOUR TAB,btw i pulled the links
CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4 for A70x
Attention!
At the moment CWM recovery is not workable! Its use can lead to non-functionality of your tablet! For details see here.
Original article is published on this site and created by ZeroNull and steaven_zw (4pda.ru).
How to:
1. Boot your device.
2. On a tablet: "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Development" -> "USB debugging" switch on. Connect the tablet to your PC. Be sure to install the latest driver for the tablet.
3. Download the archive and extract it to any convenient location on your computer.
4. Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here. Then reboot a tablet.
5. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Execute file:
for windows with the rights of administrator:
Code:
flash-cwm.bat
Recovery is installed.
Reboot again with Volume- and see whether you can still access recovery (or use the following command):
Code:
adb reboot recovery
PS: If you can not use this instruction, look here.
You're the man.

should the boot image be patched our does that not matter
Works great thanks for your awesome work again.:good:
Quick questions for you ZeroNull:
Do we have to unlock bootloader first (I suppose we do) ?
Do we have to be rooted first (I suppose we don't) ?
If we don't have to be rooted first, can we root after just by flashing the supersu.zip by Chainfire from recovery (I would suppose we can) ?
Thanks a lot, again.
EDIT: I just checked and saw that the recovery in this package is the same size as the "rooting.img" in the generic root package from you. I suppose that means it is a temp recovery that you use to root the tab ? Which means we can gain root from recovery so flashing supersu from this recovery should work... just trying to understand what's going on, for my own knowledge
EDIT 2: I just opened the .bat file and saw there was some disabling at the end for recovery.sh
I also opened an Acer rom and saw inside the zip that there was some stuff about recovery.sh
From what I can understand, it looks like you disable something that Acer wants to do. What is it exactly ?
If I reflash an Acer stock rom from CWM recovery, will the recovery be reflashed with stock one, or does your script takes care of that ?
Again, just trying to understand.
Still looking for a stock .017 US ROM image...

Since you are apparently still running the stock .017 US ROM, could you make (and post or PM me) a backup copy that could be used to re-flash to stock?
Thanks,
I am currently flashed and running the .025_EMA_CUS1 ROM with teh new CWM recovery... all went very well!
You'll have to unlock the boot-loader to flash a recovery, but you don't need to be rooted for this to happen.You root the operating system to gain access behind the scenes....A recovery such as CWM (this) is the first step for you to flash non signed ROMs (modified) without the system denying you. Then you can flash an already rooted (or tweaked) ROM once they are available, but as of right now there aren't any.
So unlock boot-loader, flash this, then root your ROM...

Sorry, but I'm currently running this: SDs_Acer_AV043_A700_RV07RC06_EMEA_FR.zip
It is a french leak, but you can get it from the rom thread so I'm not going to be able to help you much on this.
By the way, did you root before pushing this recovery or did you just unlock the bootloader ?

No, you'll have to use one of the scripts in the rooting threads unless someone creates a flashable root.
The script I used automatically installed su and busy box.

Mine was both rooted and s-off... I am hoping the ROM development for the ACER takes off now that it is rooted and a recovery is working. Bought this over waiting for the Infinity to drop later this month (July)... hope it wasn't a mistake I will regret!
Thanks for the response.
Cheers!

You mean "stock rom", right?
If someone would make a nandroidbackup of a stock-Version, then You could recover from that Backup and would be on Stock.
You just need someone to be so kind, but i guess that ont take too long.

After backup using the cwm and reboot then reboot again to recovery it will boot the original acer recovery!
Is this temporary cwm recovery?
After connecting the charger when the tablet off it will restore the original recovery

In the original of Acer firmware there is a function restore original (stock) recovery. In my instruction at one stage of the script executes the CWM recovery. This is necessary, that would disable the restoration of the original (stock) recovery. If for some reason the launch has not occurred or the user manually exited from the CWM recovery, then system restore will not be disabled. And after rebooting the system will automatically be restored to the original recovery.
When it executes
Disable script /etc/install-recovery.sh
error: device not found

I think the problem in version bootloader, which is installed on your tablet.
This problem can be solved in two ways:
Option 1. Change to another the firmware version, in which works command bootloader - "fastboot boot recovery.img"
Option 2. After running the installation script CWM recovery, when comes to message:
Booting recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
turn off the tablet. And then perform the following steps:
1. Press and hold down the 'Volume -'. Power on the tablet. After starting the CWM recovery - releasing button 'Volume -'.
2. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Launch from this directory the Windows command prompt. And enter the following commands:
Code:
adb shell "mount -a && cd /system/etc && mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery.old"
adb reboot
Now CWM recovery will not be overwritten with the original recovery.

MUST READ BEFORE PROCEED
- This ROM is AP N7100 XXUEMJ2 CP XXUEMJ2 CSC LBEMJ2 and beleved to be PreOfficial
- This ROM have KNOX security effect on bootloader
- I have flashed this ROM with bootloader and even after that I was able to downgrade MG1 ROM as well reflash this ROM again.
- Pre and post flashing EFS backup highly recommended
- This ROM have bootloader and you have to flash separately (Edit : Now you can use this ROM without bootloader too, read installation instruction)
- Recommend to wipe data (factory reset) before flashing ROM
- No one here on XDA is responsible for any bad effect on your device, You are flashing this at your own risk.
Installation Instruction
- Download Prerooted,Deodexed,Zip aligned N7100XXEMJ2 Here Direct MIRROR (Thanks to @MojoManagement ) here is other MIRROR (thank to @kunals.shah for mirror)
- Download Philz recovery if you don't have already. (you can use other but I have tested this one only)
- Copy ROM zip file to SD card and flash it with CWM.
- After Installation of this ROM, you want have WIFI working, You have to Download This Patch and extract to get patch.tar.md5 and flash with PDA tab of Odin to get wifi working. (remember this patch I have tested on MJ2 and using on other ROM may cause serious issue.)
PS : Who have already flashed bootloader and want to get rid of bootloader follow this steps
Downgrade to 4.1.2 (I have tested MG1 My prerooted)
Flash Philz latest recovery
Flash MJ2 from above said link
Flash above said patch
- Reboot normally
Special Notes
- SuperSu zp won't work to root this ROM, though you need not to do it, as This rom is already prerooted.
- If you restore app with Titanium backup, many of applications may not work, but need not to worry, follow this to make it work.
Install terminal emulator from Play store. open it, execute superSu permission and follow below said command
Code:
su
restorecon -R -v /data/data
After this you can close terminal and you will have working app which you have restored with titanium.
Remember you have to follow this everytime you restore data from titanium backup.
To All My Dr.Ketan ROM users, If you can't hold your horse, proceed with this and you will be able to flash my update based on this ROM most probable without wipe, Can't promise but may be before week end.

Thank you for all your work mate, I know how anoying is to upload 1.6 GB every time
Should we wait for this or continue with your custom rom since it has all N3 stuff and features..since its new so i guess it wont have all features and especially air command.
I am asking this because my bandwidth wont allow me to download after 15gb and i've already used 13gb(dr.ketan's custom rom is already in downlaoding queue)
#Respect
We will reading OP very clearly Before flash it. We understand the risk factor.. Heartfelt thanks bro.. No words to express our feeling .
Seems way too risky with KNOX integrated into this.
if you get cold feet after flashing mj2 rom before entering download mode to flash the new bootloader you can just get back into phillz recovery and restore your last nan i guess,....you have time to decide till then
Mj2? There was a leak I missed?
Thx u very much! Our team still w8 for u @namfat
this is kind of scary. never happen to me before. i was excited to try out the new leak, but having read dr's instruction. i felt uneasy...feels like having an icrap device which can't be downgraded either...
My only mumbling in my head now is..."will the current Note 3 mods work on this pre-release?
There is no reason for not to work

Any difference way to install with MI6 version ? or the same ?
And u try to take some mod with xposed modules, these work well or not :good:
And @dr.ketan what's about ur mod for MI6, it still working well ?
I tried to flash CWM made with MTKdroidTools, directly through MTKdroidTools, and it came up (upside down). I then proceeded to select reboot. It just got stuck at a bootloop (also upside down). I did a battery pull after a few minutes, and booted into recovery, which came up with the stock one. I selected wipe emmc (written in chinese, but I have a different phone with the same recovery for reference). Did the wipe, still stuck in bootloop.
Device a is MT6572 Note 4 replica. I have a backup. ADB and Fastboot still work. I can boot into the stock recovery. What should I do?

If you get adb while the bootloop
Can you do "adb shell mount"

Do you have download mod?

In that case you will need stock firmware ....
I can tell you the procedure but not the solution...
You will need Google and lot of patience ...
First you will need to find phones with specs same(atleast 90% similar) to your phone....
Then you need to download firmwares with the help of Google (there will be a lot)...
Then you need to test them one by one using SP tool...
You will get weird results like touchscreen not working or something...
In case you find the perfect firmware...post in in this thread or make an FAQ ...It will help others ...

I have no hands-on experience with MTK devices.
On normal devices with recoveries , there is a folder Meta-INF and there is updater script and update binary which allows a Zip file o flashed on Android Recoveries (Stock or CWM). Stock recoveries enforce manufacturers signature. Custom recoveries like CWM allow unsigned zips.
Long story short ,check for META-INF folder and check if updater script & updater-binary is present. If not then ,zip won't be flashed with CWM

There is no folders in the backup, just individual files. No files called updater script or updater-binary either. And yeah, it didn't flash either. I have 2 backups, one stock ROM, one done today. Both were done with MTKdroidTools, so I expect both to be the same. Any way to get the required files and add them, or do something else to make it flashable?

SP flashtools isn't working, but I found a guide, which shows how to create a flashable zip from a backup. However it says to get the META-INF folder from a custom ROM for your phone. How specific does this folder need to be? I cant be sure of what my device is completely because it is branded as a note 4, rather than a replica under a brand name.
I can find a MT6572 ROM, but I cant be sure everything would work flawlessly with my phone. Understand what I'm saying?

The binary is generic .The updater script needs to be specific. Special permissions are assigned to files using the script which can make or break the device. You will need a ROM very close to your device for Meta INF.
The article you have listed is for CWM backup which is different from MTK tools backup.
You will need to get SP tools working to get your device working...or search for a working backup for your device.

Hello, I'm a noob at this so please be kind. I followed the below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...inners-guide-unlock-custom-rom-tf300-t3061648
I successfully:
Unlocked my TF300T's Bootloader
Installed custom recovery using fastboot
Rooted my tablet
Debloated the Tablet (Titanium Backup)
Backup up my current (OEM) SYSTEM ROM to microSD
So now I'm onto attempting a custom ROM. I'm a bit bored with 4.2.1 and would like to go to the same version of ROM my Note 7 has which is 6.0.1 Marshmallow or even try the new 7.0 Nougat.
I'm a little confused as to what ROM will or will not work. I see a few ROMS worth trying, but there install instructions reference a different Bootloader multiple flashes such as SuperSU or gapps.
Whats the best fool proof method to flash a new ROM with what I have and are there any simple one file ROM/ZIP/ Blob etc.. file that would do what I want?
Thank you.

Congratulations! Everything you did looks fine. So you are ready to install a custom rom. I would like to suggest one of the best: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3453702 (You may follow up the tread and report there!)
Please take care very exactly on the installation instruction in post #1 given by Timduru. And don't forget that you need Kang TWRP [email protected] Download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/recovery-twrp-t3046479. That's mandatory!

Thanks. As simple as the process was, as a noob (first time attempting this) I was really concerned about screwing this up and bricking my tablet.
The one you linked to was one of the ones I was considering and hence my question regarding what works with what I have already done. The noob mind (mine anyways) finds a dozen questions at every turn. In this case I would ask the following:
Q-Do I have to use Kang TWRP?
Q-How is it different than the TWRP I used on my Tablet?
Q-Will I need to constantly change TWRP versions depending on what ROM I want to use?
Q-Is there a danger to switching TWRPs?
Q-Doesn't flashing SuperSU after I flash Gapps overright and erase SuperSU or is there some unique way to flash (push?) both at the same time?
Q-Many more I'm sure!
To the noob, almost all the instructions I read appear to be written for someone who as done this many times. The level of detail needed for the novice is just not there or lost between the jargon used, with many steps not fleshed out because the author assumes a certain level of expertise.
I will definitely read these threads as best I can, but in the interim, is there any ROM that are known to be able to be flashed via the TWRP I currently have? The author of the version I used certainly made it seem like it was that simple, load the ROM/ zip file onto the MicroSD card and when in Custom recovery simply use the INSTALL feature to navigate to the file and press a button to flash and ..."BAM!!" you are running a new ROM.

Good luck!

That version of KANG appears to be dead, as the thread has been closed and abondoned by the OP. So no new questions or help there....
Can I install that version over the top of my current version of TWRP the same way I did the first time? (change file to TWRP.blob etc.)

Please don't brick your tablet. First download Kang TWRP. It isn't dead. Try this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347781183.

Yes you can.
However Kang TWRP is a xxx.img file. You also can use your current TWRP and flash the image file. Attached you will find an image and a zip version.

Sorry, bad choice of words on my part. By dead I meant that the thread was closed and I'm concerned getting answers would be harder as the OP was no longer actively looking there for questions.

Ok, so if I read your comment correctly, I can copy the .img file to an SD card, boot into recovery and flash it from there OR I can fire up fastboot and the same steps I originally did to install custom recovery from my PC to accomplish the same thing... either way I should still have custom recovery, but with the KANG version. Right?
THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU FOR RESPONDING TO MY PREVIOUS POST. I appreciate the support.
Oh no....
Well crap. I put the .img file on my SD card and boot the tablet into recovery, I flashed the .img file to the rovery not boot partition. All appeared well....but when I go back to see if I have KANG recovery, it hangs anbd says Booting Failure Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x000000000)
EDIT: After I cleaned my pants, I used abd and fastboot to flash the original Blob file using my PC. This restored the custom recovery. I was freaking out for a few minutes.
I didn't change the file name of the kang .img file. Should I have done something different?
EDIT: Successful recovery to Kang2.8.7.2 !! :good::good: I used adb and my PC to send the .img file (renamed "twrpkang.img" for simplicity) and it worked great. I'm a pro..:silly:

Bad luck! Could you please describe what does it mean? : "I flashed the .img file to the rovery not boot partition."

Not sure what I did wrong. I tried to do it within the old recovery menu and it hosed it. It found the file and mounted it successfully, but it seemed weird to be within the partition I was overwriting and writing to it. Kind of like you cant install windows while your using Windows...
The new version is much smoother.... Thanks, not to learn about this gapps super SU and how to flash all of these and in what order along with the ROM..as well as this wipe vs format thing...so confusing...
TEAM WIN RECOVERY PROJECT (TWRP) version 3.2.1-0
What is TWRP?
Is a fully touch-based custom recovery, which allow you to flash some zip files, backup some partitions and restore the device.
This recovery is specific to Galaxy S6 Edge, model 404SC(SM-G925Z/Japan model, carrier Softbank). But i tested and worked on the Galaxy S6 Edge SCV31/carrier Au KDDI too. I didn't tested in any "Docomo" variant. In case you want to try, send me an message and i will provide the modified "stock kernel", to be able to boot on system.
I recommend to not try to flash this in any internacional model.
Compiled with the latest omni sources 8.1.
https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/
Warning:- I will take no responsability for anything bad, that can happen after flash this recovery!
Flashing this recovery, will trip the KNOX and void the Warranty. If you are ok with that, proceed downloading the recovery, flash with the Odin and enjoy.
In case you want to keep the warranty, this is not for you!
Starting from Lollipop, flashing any custom binary, will end up in stuck at boot. This is due to dm_verity. To be able to boot on system, after flash the TWRP recovery, is necessary to flash an modified kernel.
You can flash my custom permissive kernel for 404SC, from this link:- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510939
Kernel source code:- https://github.com/frankbrazillian/android_kernel_samsung_404SC
This kernel is very close as stock, only making this kernel permissive... Compiled with Linaro toolchain gcc 7.
Or if you want to keep the "stock kernel", you can find the link to the model 404SC and SCV31 stock kernel, on the second post.
You will find the link to "stock recovery" too, in case you want to revert.
How to flash the Recovery?
I recommend to flash with Odin3 v3.12~
Link to download Odin:-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1etF4YP6nJYq-CQEzZJqDv7YS39rQSsbT/view?usp=drivesdk
Note:- After flash the TWRP recovery with Odin, is necessary to put the device in recovery mode(pressing the combo POWER + HOME + VOLUME UP), and swipe to allow modifications when prompted, to make this recovery permanent. If you won't swipe to allow modifications or leave the device restart to system before enter on recovery mode on first boot, the TWRP recovery will be replaced automatically for the "Stock recovery", and you will need to flash the TWRP recovery again.
In case you still have doubts, post an message and i will try to help you.
How to root your device?
Download the latest SuperSu from this link:- (https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip), or the latest Magisk from this thread :- (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445) and flash with the TWRP recovery. Since both root tools are systemless, if you wipe the data/factory reset, you will lost the root access. After flash the SuperSU with TWRP recovery, you will see an red message on top of the screen on boot, saying the Kernel is not SEANDROID ENFORCING. Don't worry, this is normal, since the SuperSU will edit the Kernel to be able to get root access.
Feel free to test and let me know if this recovery worked for you...
And please press the "Thanks" button, if this helped you in anyway...
Regards....
Frank.

I have add an guide to fix some problems after flash any custom binary or root the device on Nougat.
Check this post to see how to fix...

Obs:- In the screenshots, the header color is mustard, but on the device is the real color "blue".
Since this doesn't interfere in anything, i just leave in this way....
Some screenshot's about the Kernel permissive and root.
In case you want to revert back to stock or want to keep the Stock kernel.
After flash the Twrp recovery, is necessary to flash this Stock kernel or the Custom permissive one. Both are already modified to be able to boot on system. If you flash only the Twrp recovery on Stock rom, you will be stuck at boot. This is due to dm-verity.

......................................................................................................................................
Obs:- For the SCV31 model, i didn't compiled yet the Custom permissive kernel, so is necessary to flash this Stock kernel, after flash the Twrp recovery or the device won't boot, due to dm-verity. This stock kernel is modified to be able to boot on system.

Basically exploiting the buffer between reboots while in DL mode. Smart. Hopefully when they fix it they simply throw an autoreboot after file complete, rather than some obnoxious knoxx hoops to jump through. I'm going to test this on my s6 right now. Actually I bet they end up making a softknoxx that gets flagged after any download, and throws a verify function.
So... Anyone who flashed this recovery on 404SC or SCV31 on Nougat, can give me some feedback?
Any issue? Worked for you?
@adipurn ..... Custom permissive kernel for SCV31 NN, with the deepsleep fixed, already done.
I will send you to test, ok?
Compiled with Gcc linaro 7.
Still need some fixes....

And now i have no delay incoming messages such as WA etc. and it looks like this fixed it for me.
Phone goes into deep sleep normal and now the battery drain is back to normal.
Thank a lot for your work [emoji4]

Hi....
What do you mean, settings might not display the latest changes?
About the reboot problem, this can be a problem with the rom itself and not the TWRP. Can you give me the link of the rom you flashed? I need to reproduce the problem.
About the MTP, i'll try to fix it....
Maybe i will build an recovery specific for this model, just in case.
Thank's for your feedback anyway....
Regards....

I was talking with adipurn who are helping me with tests of the custom kernel and he said, they can flash custom rom with TWRP without any bootloop, but the TWRP are not working with aroma. I need to figured it out, what is necessary to get aroma working on TWRP.
The link of the rom you post, i believe is not for your model... It's for internacional model or some chinese variant. Thats why you got problems...
Untill i fix the compatibility with aroma, try to flash some custom firmware specific for your model SCV31.
As soon as i can fix the mentioned issues, i'll update the thread with the links for download.
Thank's again for your feedback.
Regards......
Frank.

Actually the aurora rom work for most model if you flash the right kernel, and i am using it now. ( i reboot device by force )
I can't post outside links, cause i'm new here.
The rom and kernel is downloaded from other post by aurora team( not in xda ),and scv31 is in the support list.

I'm going to give this a shot on an old Docomo SC-04G I have lying around. Any tips or suggestions for the process? I see you mentioned about the source code but I'm not sure what I would need to change before re-compiling it. I do not have any experience with making a kernel passive.

Hi crzyone... Are you on Nougat already? Did you know how to extract the boot.img and recovery.img from stock rom? If you are, please send me this 2 images to i edit to you be able to boot, after flash the TWRP....

Yes, that device is on 7.0 already. 7.0/SC04G0MU1CQF1. No, I don't know how to extract the stock boot.img or recovery.img. Trying to find some instructions on the forums right now.

Ok... Here is the link to download the stock kernel and stock recovery in case the Twrp won't work on your model... This is specific for the SC-04G model on Nougat.
Kernel:-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gEh32YnXxJk5qWgT4WPVtX3vjRGMxivQ/view?usp=drivesdk
Recovery:-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X0hRIUgZBKk4PuRLtPrETqFRG3cyFNaq/view?usp=drivesdk
First flash the TWRP recovery with Odin and after flashed, the phone will boot. Don't let the device restart to System.... Put the phone in recovery mode, (Power button + home + volume up). Swipe to allow changes to system. After put the phone in download mode and flash the "modified" stock kernel to be able to boot.
Reboot the device and you are ready to go...
Let me know if worked for you....
I will be uploading an new Twrp version, as soon as i fix the issues..
Press the thanks button if helped and enjoy....
