Micromax a60 noob guide.

Bored with stock eclair? Want to install froyo(or custom rom) on a60?But confused with all methods???[/COLOR]
So you are at right place.
Today i will tell you how to install custom recovery on a60 and flash a custom rom.
First of all, you have to download a rom from following available roms for a60:-
1). Jet rom 2.2(froyo) 'rolling out soon'
2). Jet rom 2.1(froyo)
3). Cyborg rom 2.1(froyo)
4). Freek rom v3(froyo) 'rolling on 25 may.'
5).Freek rom v2(froyo)
6).kul rom v1,2 (froyo)
7). Sense rom(eclair)
8). Ice cream sandwich rom(eclair)
Disclamer: Not comparing roms at all.
STEP - 1
:First step in installing custom rom is rooting your a60.
Before it, you should know, what does rooting means?
“Rooting” your device means obtaining “superuser” rights and permissions to your Android’s software. With these elevated user privileges, you gain the ability to load custom software (ROM’s), install custom themes, increase performance, increase battery life, and the ability to install software that would otherwise cost extra money (ex: WiFi tethering). Rooting is essentially “hacking” your Android device.
You install software "root and me" from play store to know more about rooting.
For rooting a60, you should install software universal androot from:-
http://www.4shared.com/android/O-aYPeg8/Universal_Androot_162_beta_5.html
Open androot and then click on go root..
wuhu, your device will be rooted

Now, next step is installing busybox.
Download app "busybox installer" from play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
STEP - 3
Now, download clockworkmod 5, made by ngage_me fo our device from:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559347
Dont forget to click thanks on thread.
STEP - 4
Now download recovery manager from:-
http://android.podtwo.com/recoverymanager (click on RecoveryManager_v0.37b.zip) amd extract zip and install apk normally.
this will help you to install custom recovery.
Now follow this picture guide:-[
1.Click on recovery in app menu.
2.There click on install recovery.
wait for some time, while app search for all .img files on your sd card.
3.Then click on recovery image name of ngage_me, you downloaded earlier.
4.Let app install recovery when installing comes and then message will come
"current recovery: unrecognised"
5.Now click on reboot into recovery in app.
And you will be in recovery after some time.
*If device is stuck on micromax logo for more than 4 minutes, take battery out, and switch on phone normally. Then repeat step 1-5 for installing recovery. It will work foresure.
STEP - 5
Now you are booted in clockworkmod 5.
Now next question comes, How to use recovery and flash a rom?
First thing to do in recovery is to go to "backup and restore option" and then click on backup your current rom and data. If any thing goes wrong, then this backup(nandroid) will help you to get phone in state it was before.
You can restore this backup from "backup and restore option"
(Make sure you have 300 mb free in sdcard for backup.)
Then, in main menu, click on wipe data before flashing custom rom.
After that, go to "install zip from sdcard" and then choose zip(flashable rom/zip). and let it finish.
When message "zip installation completed" will come, reboot your android(may take 5-10 minutes), and congratulations you are in froyo.

Your point added in thread.

Your new CWM for 2012 sold a60's is not working, i flashed it, & its not showing up while pressing the power+home combination (maybe it's erasing the recovery partition, but not extracting in it), by the way i tested it on a new a60, maybe a week's old, flashed it using the busy box -> recovery manager method..& it's running the stock eclair..
..Another hing i noticed and is worth sharing, the old stock recovery (for a60s manufactured before 2012) also does'nt work the way it's supposed to, it shows up, but can't initiate a wipe or apply any signed update.zip..
..We all our counting on you!!, keep up your good work!! by the way, count on my support in the form of thanks and tesings..

Btw, recovery is made by ngage_me.
But thing you, it doesn't initate a wipe is not dependent on recovery, it depends on rom you are flashing.
And second thing, there's no way to sign rom till now for recovery, even if you will flash rom through stock recovery, it will not be flashed.

Hey Bro I am having some issue flashing Jet 2.1. I have rooted the device, installed the busy box, flashed the modded recovery. When the reboot the phone in recovery mode, it does goes in the recovery mode but shows the a log "E: Failed to find cache partition to mount at "/cache"
E:Cant mount/cache/recovery/last_log
E:cant open/cache/recovery/last_log
E:Failed to find cache partition to mount at cache.
Then i try to install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card select Jet 2.1.zip. It ends up at.
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:Error in sdcard/installations/Jet 2.1.zip (status 7).

If you've dealt with recovery software on your computer any, you probably already have a good idea of how this works and what it's all about. Out of the box, your phone comes with stock recovery software. It varies depending on the manufacturer, but all stock recoveries are essentially the same. They allow you to manually flash official updates and allow you to clear the cache on your phone. What they can do is very limited and in reality, not all that helpful.
Thanks to the genius Android developers out there, we have custom recoveries that replace the limited, unhelpful ones. These third-party, or aftermarket, recoveries add all sorts of functionality to the recovery software on your phone.
Types of recoveries available for pico:
TWRP TeamWin Recovery
ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.2.8
Explanation for all the recovery terms:
Reboot System:
It will reboot the device normally,you will boot into current ROM.
Apply Update from SD card:
Usually this option is used when,you got a official signed update,than u can flash it using this option.The update file must be named as "update.zip".It should be placed under the root of ur SD card i.e not under any folder,direct paste
Wipe Data/Factory Reset:
Factory resets your device,this will wipe off the /data partition.The /system & /sdcard partition won't be affected.It is always recommended to wipe data when you are flashing a custom rom. After yor factory reset,you will see startup wizards,which helps you to get started.
Wipe Cache Partition:
Wipes the cache partiton on your device.Cache files are those files which are stored by applications to speed up your phone(to loads games a bit faster) & to perform somewhat faster.You can clear up the cache to make your internal memory look better.
Install Zip from SD card:
This option allows you to flash any zip from your SD card.After you select this option,you will find a few more options,they are
-->Apply update.zip
It works same like apply update from sd card.
-->Choose zip from SD card
You can select the .zip file whichever you wanna flash.
-->Toggle Signature Verification
Ah,I too certainly dont know,what exactly it does.Well,recommended to keep it disabled(default=disabled)
-->Toggle Scripts asserts
Better leave it,if you don't know about recovery's search editfy scripts(same as I do :silly
Backup & restore:
Ah,Again you gonna get 3 more sub-options
-->Backup
If you have something heard about "nandroid" ,than its nothing but a system backup,known as nandroid!This will backup every single file present in your internal & external partition of your memory card(ext partition).The backup folder is stored on your sd card,path /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups.Recommended you copy the folder on your PC through USB~
If you wanna take nandroid,I have made a video over it here
-->Restore
Selecting the option will restore your backup uped ROM,the same as u backed it up!You,need to factory rest once before restoring the backup.
It is helpful when you are stucked on bootloops or soft bricked!
-->Advance Restore:
This is kinda for experts.It ask you to restore only the partition you want to.Suppose,youhave flashed a kernel,which aint booting up your device now ,you can restore /boot partition from your back uped ROM. And,enjoy booting it instead of reflashing the whole damn ROM.
Mounts & Storage
This option enabled you to mount/unmount any partition on your device.You can every format the partion(P.S one by one).The last option "Mount USB storage" allow you to transfer files from SD card to PC or a vice-versa.
Advance:
The most used option ! Gives you a few sub-options.
-->Reboot Recovery:
The phone will just reboot into recovery mode.Ah,this option is helpful,when the recovery doesn't do certain tasks,example,while u mount the data partition,it may happen that u wont able to unmount it again,so just reboot recovery,may help you at times(my personal experience)
-->Wipe Dalvik Cache:
Wipes the Dalvik Cache from your device,one deleted,it gets re-created,when u reboot your device,so booting it will take a more longer time than that of usual!So,don't panic!
-->Wipe Battery Stats:
Formats the file called batterystats.bin.In sort of calibrated your battery!Mainly done when you flash a new ROM!
-->Report Error:
Reports the error to the recovery team.
-->Key Test:
It tells you the number that has been allocated to any key on your phone.This is mainly used when u want to remap your hardware buttons,or just to check wetherthe system is registering the press of the button.Press the back button to exit the test.
-->Partition your SD card:
Creates second partition into your sd card.while one used for storing up the mediafiles,second partition can be used for increasing the RAM & internal memory.During this process it will ask you,how much space you are willing to give or internal memory that is ext size & RAM that is SWAP,SWAP works only if ROM supports it.
Note:The process formats everything on the sd card !
-->Fix Permission
It will fix permission gone wrong in internal stroage.It will fix some FC's(Force Closes) on the system apps or the the apps you converted into system apps but forgot to change the permissions!
Power off:
It will power off your mobile.

Couple of suggestions:
*Quick comparison of TWRP to CWM
*Brief description of installation proceedure
(You are probably planning on adding these anyway, but I figured I post them just in case...)

[Guide] Install Magisk On Galaxy s7 Exynos Safety Net in Green

Fistly, I am not responsible to any harm done to your device. You should know what you are doing.
Secondly, this WILL TRIGGER KNOX irreversibly.
You will also have to format your internal memory in case you have never done this before.
KEEP THAT IN MIND
So you are going to need twrp for exynos: here
Latest Magisk installer zip: here
Odin: here
Not entirely sure if it is required but force encryption disabler: here
1) Go to developer settings in your phone and enable "OEM unlocking". Transfer the magisk zip onto the device and the encryption disabler zip.
2) Shut down your phone and hold power button+home button+volume down to turn it on. press volume up and plug it into your pc directly (without a hub)
3) Open odin and load in the AP section the TWRP file (it's an .img.tar). Disable auto reboot and flash
4) Hold power+home+volume down and, after it leaves download mode, change from volume up to volume up.
5) REALLY IMPORTANT IN ORDER TO KEEP SAFETY NET is to press "keep system read only"
6) IN CASE YOU CAN'T READ THE INTERNAL STORAGE OF YOUR PHONE (check that by pressing on install and checking internal storage), go to format-->format data and type yes. It explains there that, by doing so, you will remove encryption.
7) Now go to install and flash the encryption disabler and then the magisk zip
In theory, if all of this has been properly done, magisk su will be installed and your safety net will be in green.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Looking forward to any sugestions.
Here is proof that this works.

this is for version 7.0 of android and model 930f? in stock rom works as it is?

I'm on Oreo, and I tried to follow this.
I tried mounting USB OTG just to flash the encryption disabler and magisk but I had the verification failed error.
I don't have backup of my files (non-rooted so can't use Titanium backup). I also can't access data / internal storage using TWRP but I can't format my phone given my lack of backup. Any other way to fix this?

Why would you flash TWRP?
Won't that modify a partition? Or is TWRP present for only one reboot when selecting not to modify /system?
Do we need to unlock BootLoader anymore?
Would it not be beneficial for puerile if you posted a method to check if encryption was enabled and active, prior to performing these steps?
Thank you

That is what I am thinking about too...
I am on OREo as well. So, best would be to launch TWRP temporarily and flash then, isn't it?
I would do it this way as I have done it 5 mins ago with Sony xperia M5 E5603.
1. Backup DRM keys - if possible....
2. UNlock Bootloader
3. Boot TWRP remotely
4. Flash magisk
Is it that way? I dont wanna brick or loose my S7!!

Hi, I have TWRP and supersu now, is there a way to install magisk without unroot my phone ? Can i install Magisk and than leave supersu or i need first remove supersu and than install Magisk ?

Does this work on the canadian version of the s7 edge? Model number. sm-935w8?

Since you have TWRP installed, uninstall SuperSU and clean up it's files since they will trigger safetynet. Flash latest Magisk, no problem

Hello everyone,
I am quite desperate, trying to root my phone so that I can get access to my phone internal memory to run a photo recovery program.
I have been really stupid and I made the mistake to not back up my files of my internal memory before doing the format data step (amongst probably many other stupid things, let's agree I've been making things worse and worse).
I have followed the guide in this thread.
Phone details:
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
SM-G935F
Android 8.0
Activities done:
- Developer mode
- USB debugging
-OEM unlocking
- Reboot
- Download mode
- ODIN
- AP: TWRP
- Reboot
- Got into recovery mode
- Got into TWRP (keep system read only)
- could not read internal storage of the phone
- format --> format data --> yes (to remove encryption) (FORGOT TO BACKUP FIRST)
I did not dare to proceed to step 7:
7) Now go to install and flash the encryption disabler and then the magisk zip
So right now I'm still in the TWRP after recovery mode reboot, having just formata data the internal memory (but with keep system read only).
--> Can I safely move on to step 7?
--> Should I try something else?
--> How do I do step 7? ((7) Now go to install and flash the encryption disabler and then the magisk zip --> Where do I put the encryption disabler and after magisk? Is this Odin again?)
I hope someone is willing to help me.
I realize I should not be messing with these things since I am not experienced/knowledgeable in this at all, but it is kind of a last resort hail mary step for me to try to recover my photos.
Thank you kindly for any help or suggestions.

So right now I'm still in the TWRP after recovery mode reboot, having just formata data the internal memory (but with keep system read only).
--> Can I safely move on to step 7?
--> Should I try something else?
--> How do I do step 7? ((7) Now go to install and flash the encryption disabler and then the magisk zip --> Where do I put the encryption disabler and after magisk? Is this Odin again?)
I hope someone is willing to help me.
I realize I should not be messing with these things since I am not experienced/knowledgeable in this at all, but it is kind of a last resort hail mary step for me to try to recover my photos.
Thank you kindly for any help or suggestions.

After u removed data encryption via format data ,reboot to recovery yet again, since there is fixed modded TWRP by tkgg1996 there is no need for encryption zip.
Download fixed twrp by tkgg1996 here
https://mega.nz/#!oFd2RIpa!M2JYNFiurMlDp_jAblE8a4E2qQEYZ-yMXx8eMHhBZ7I
Then, in twrp click install and in bottom right corner select image file press it and now find downloaded twrp from link above select the image and select recovery,after it's done reboot to recovery again and no more worry about encryption ever again. Now u can flash whatever u want
You don't really need to flash magisk ,it is only if u wanna hide root and device to be certified in play store. But can't hurt anyway and it's the best root option. Flash magisk 18.1 in recovery

Thank you very much Scorpionea!
I managed to get the right version of TWRP installed.
- However, I seem to still not have root access? (Or at least Diskdigger photo recovery tells me).
- I also do not manage to install Magisk (I tried several ways, with image, zip, magisk manager). Unfortunately I cannot post an image yet. The error message says: updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/Magisk-v18.1.zip
Updating partition details...
Failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
...done
- In TWRP my internal memory shows up as 0 (does not mount?)
- I bought an sd card and tried to install Magisk from there, same lack of result. The SD card does show up in TWRP
Thank you very much for taking the time to help, I really appreciate it

It seems encryption is still there, you must format data in twrp again ( remember doing this you will lose all data )Format data type yes, when done reboot to recovery again and should be all good
You must use modded twrp if I don't wanna see anymore internal storage at 0. Then try flashing magisk again

when i had installed December update (unlocked bootloader & magisk installed) i flashed the new rom, installed decrypt.zip yet the phone got encrypted on boot. Later i formatted data and flashed decrypt.zip and the phone booted normally.
Its kind of two way procedure. Try it. There is nothing wrong in experiment unless you haven't taken backup.
I'll flash as soon as i go home & let you know the status.

backup means your personal data, apps, contacts, internal storage.
TWRP wont be gone after flashing. The phone works fine even after its encrypted. You need to flash decrypt.zip to get internal storage access in TWRP . And for overall smoothness of the device.

Guys ... Use PBRP Recovery.. It is based on TWRP...
It automatically patches forced encryption, after flashing the firmware file...
But just to make sure flash decrypt.zip too ...

So I did really dumb error... I flashed OTA(edited updater-script), then flashed decrypt.zip and flashed Magisk-v18.0.zip(this is what I shouldn't do)... and now my phone is encrypted
and my nandroid backup that I just make is on internal storage... so now it's already encrypted(or it isn't?) and no longer be able to use...
Is there any way I can decrypt back my phone?
my custom recovery/twrp encrypted as well
I got my nandroid backup few days ago on my computer

I don't think there is a way to decrypt your phone without losing data...
Best way is restore from your nandroid backup...

Do not unzip the file.
Right click on the file, open archive. Edit the updater script. Save it. Better to use 7Zip.

I am not sure exactly, which partitions are encrypted. But yes I think internal storage on /data/media is not encrypted...
But if you open TWRP then you will get a message to decrypt your device... DONT do this ! It will wipe your internal storage too, even if it is not encrypted...
If you want to copy your nandroid backup, then boot up your ROM and then transfer files using MTP to your computer..

Did you use WinRAR ? Do one thing...
After extracting zip, and editing the script, go to the root of your firmware folder, select all files then add to archive. Select archive format as zip and keep the lowest compression possible...
While flashing, disable zip verification. This should work... Otherwise try the method by @Ajeyvm

}
Boot your device into fastboot mode Open Command Line
Go To C:\adb folder , press shift and do a right click , select open Powershell window here
Now type
fastboot devices
, press enter it should show your device now
now type
fastboot boot twrp.img
Process will take 10 second
Your device will reboot and after some time it will show TWRP logo ( it takes time 1 min approx )
wait some time
then In PC file explorer it will show realme gt neo 2 , open it
go to internal storage > Downloads and copy paste the twrp.img file and magisk alpha apk
In twrp backup BOOT , EFS, Modem ,Persist-Image
after backup is done come back to TWRP home and tap on Install button go to the folder where you saved both the files
and select Install image button , now it will show twrp.img file , tap on it then select recovery partition and swipe to confirm flash
After process is complete press Back button and come to TWRP home
Again press install button and select magisk.apk and swipe to confirm flash , this will install Magisk 23 after process is complete press home button go to reboot tab and select system
, Now phone will reboot to system
In phone open file manager and install magisk.apk
Open magisk app it will show magisk installed
just to be sure press the install button and select direct install and press Lets GO
After process is complete press the reboot button and it will boot back to system mode now
Your phone is rooted with magisk 23 and you are eligible to enjoy variety of mods and themes for your device .

Q1) Why are you not flashing recovery directly ?
A) Becuase Its risky (very low chance of flashing failing from fastboot ),So
first we boot this twrp file temporarily and backup all important partitions
When it is clear recovery is working fine , we copy the twrp.img and flash it from twrp to make it permanent .

Q2) Why are you not flashing magisk patched image ?
Ans) Becuase Its risky (the patched boot image you got may not be of your model or software version which will cause bootloop , SO
we trust in magisk to use our device boot.img to create a patched boot.img with magisk support , then we reflash magisk from magisk App to confirm it .

Is there any way to flash stock rom if twrp is installed?

This post says "for all models" but your bootloader unlocker post is for Indian model?
Just asking. It can cause misunderstanding.

This guide will work for all variants of GT NEO 2 , however the unlocking guide is for Indian Variant only .
So if you somehow managed to unlock Non-Indian Model of RMX3370 you can safely follow this guide (no liabilities of OP ) to install TWRP then root your device

Why do you want to flash stock ROM ?
If it is booting problem you can read this guide
If you just want to reset you have to first remove magisk then from TWRP do factory reset from WIPE section.
However you can try this RollBack ZIP for Indian Variant of Realme GT NEO 2

Are you able to boot into ROM ?
What have you done before this started happening ?
coz that happens when rui gets corrupted and is unable to mount /data and If unable to boot into saystem then the only solution is to do flash stock boot.IMG and wipe all data
