MI4 cant install ROM, cant use google play, chinese version HELP!!!!!!!

HI Guys
I bought one chinese mi4 last year on china, I was there, and yes it's is original.
The problem is that I cant install google play, because is blocked. SO I need to upgrade the ROM.
My UPDATER app is not working, when i tried use this to update, when I chose the file, the updater close, so I cant use.
I tryed to update by recovery, but when I click update update file.zip on system one, the phone reboots. tryied CUStom rom, developer rom, global rom. etc...
SO i read a loot of forums and try to install another recovery by fastboot , like CWM, It's not working because i am no root in my device
tryied by adb fastboot and by mi flash, not working " 'recovery' not support flash"
I rooted with kingoo root, but same problem.
So I cant update, can´t install new recovery, I cant install a developer room to root.
I really need help, I tryed everything that i know, checked a lot of foruns, but alone I cant solve this.
I need help please, I fell my xiomi it's completely blocked...

If you download the official rom from miui.com you can flash it with original recovery or you could try the fastboot flash package without using any recovery.
Flashing a custom recovery do not require rooted rom.
To get to fastboot use the command "adb reboot bootloader" then flash your custom recovery. CWM is outdated (i might be wrong) but twrp recovery is much better, just google twrp and download the one for cancro.
If any of those above is not working for you then it might be fake.

No I cant.
when I choose update.zip on system one on recovery menu, I dont get the menu to update, and click yes, just by clicking on the "update.zip on system one" the phone restarts.
I think I need a way to remove a recovery by hand, as low level I think.
fastboot always fails..... and shows a mgs as this "recovery does not suport flash"

Have you tried downloading the fastboot flash package? Download the Global Developer rom for MI4 from the link i've provided and put your device into fastboot then run one of the *.bat file if you are on windows. Before that make sure fastboot detect your device by "fastboot devices".
I do not know any other ways to flash recovery. Maybe others can help you with that.

htc one e8 dual sim[India] stuck at boot screen after OTA update[android 6.0]

Hello,
Today I got notification for my marshmallow update for my HTC one e8. But I had TWRP recovery in my mobile and S-ON. and somewhere on youtube I watched a video how to get OTA update on rooted HTC ONE devices so follow the following steps :
1) Get back to your stock recovery : - which did by taking the recovery.img file from update package and flashing the recovery using fastboot.[which removes twrp with this new recovery].
2) then i started installing the update which I think successfully installed.
but when it rebooted it stuck at the boot screen. Then after 3-4 hours I factory reset my cell by visiting boot loader. But nothing happens and now I am stuck . Please help me how to recover my phone.
Also I am not able to change back the recovery to TWRP, as in fastboot device is undetectable.
so is there any way to get back my phone from TWRP backup which I made earlier when I installed TWRP

Solution
I faced a similar solution and i'd suggest you to do the following
The main issue was that adb debugging was off so its wasn't getting detected in the fastboot shell in the pc.
Install htc mobile drivers on my pc (google it, you can find this easily).
Keep the phone in HBOOT mode and connect it to the pc. Open device manager in the pc, you will now see that your htc device is now listed there.
Now open the command prompt from adb and fastboot folder. Switch the phone into FASTBOOT mode.
Now give the command: adb devices .
Do not worry if your device is still not shown in the list of devices attached.
Give the command : fastboot reboot-bootloader
Your phone should reboot in the bootloader mode again. If this happens, it confirms that the device is successfully connected to the pc . :good:
Now you flash custom recovery in your phone using the command :
fastboot flash recovery "<name-of-the-recovery>.img"
Then reboot the phone using :
fastboot reboot
Now try to enter into recovery mode. Your custom recovery will open up.
Now you can restore a twrp backup (I'm assuming that you have one. It is always recommended to have a backup of your phone whwnever you root your phone).
Reboot and you are done !!

hey listen to update your cellphone to MM using OTA updates you need to have a re locked bootloader or you should not have any SU binaries in your phone so to do this you need RUU. If you are able to connect your cellphone to ypur PC and able to use fastboot then using fastboot just relock the phone using above mentioned commands and then use RUU to get back to stock lollipop ROM and the start updating using OTA. I did yesterday all these and now I have MM in my cell and its working fine with sense 7 ( which means no restrictions on themes).

Dear all Dual SIM Indian M8SD users,
Please could you share your experience of updating to MM? I am having no network connection with SIM slot 2. SIM slot 1 is fine.
I then downgraded to Lollipop by flashing the RUU via fastboot after erasing the phone memory via TWRP recovery. Both SIM started working perfectly again. Then did an OTA update in four stages (from 2.33.720.3 to 2.33.720.4 to 2.33.720.6 to 2.33.720.8 to 3.06.720.2 MM) to Marshmallow.
Same problem with SIM 2 again. In the meantime, have tried various other tweaks (all combinations of settings/ removing SIMS and back in/factory resets etc.). None works.
Any help and ideas will be really appreciated.
Many thanks.

[Tutorial][Root][Guide] Root Acer Liquid Zest 4G z528 (t07)

Hi, I will be showing you how to root this device, it's a pretty new (released last year) model from Acer (a company dev hates becauseof their no-release firmware).
I will not be held responsible for anything that will happen, proceed at your own risk
ABOUT (ME?):
ive had this device, i really wanted to root it, but turns out that no official or legit guide is available in the internet. But with the help of some other guides about previous tutorial, and a big thanks to smartmanvartan who provided the customized twrp port for my device.
PREREQUISITES
1. ADB and fastboot, here is a guide (Note: im using linux), if youre in windows, go to the acer webpage and download the usb driver for the device and install it.
2. the twrp port in here. Then unpack that zip file, you will be using the twrp-mod.img file.
3. download the supersu.zip here and put it in the external sdcard.
BACKUP!!! Make sure you also have a backup of the original firmware, so if something happens, it's easy to return to stock, you can download the firmware here
Process
Im assuming that you already has the required files. MAKE SURE YOURE DEVICE IS z528, there are two kinds of acer liquid zest 4g.
1. unlock the oem lock in the device, go to settings > about device > go to build number and repeatedly tap on it until you are notified that the developers option is enabled. After that, go to settings > developer option > turn on the enable the oem unlocking, enable usb debugging.
2. turn off your device then boot into fastboot mode (press the VOL UP button and the Power Button) it should boot into the prebootloader, use the VOL UP key to navigate, then VOL DOWN to select, you have 4 options: recovery, fastboot, normal, demo, choose fastboot.
2. while in fastboot mode, connect cable to the phone to the device, then open a terminal (command prompt if youre in windows) then type
Code:
fastboot devices
then enter, it should return a device on the list. (if youre device is not in the list,make sure you've followed the adb and fastboot install guide)
3. Once fastboot detects youre device, do
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and there will be a prompt in your device, follow it.
4. check everything is okay with
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and look for the bootloader if its unlocked.
5. navigate to the place where the twrp image is located, then open terminal there (windows: shift + right click > open command prompt there) then do
Code:
fastboot boot <name of the twrp.img>
example :
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-mod.img
then wait for the device to restart and boot into the custom recovery.
6. While in the custom recovery, (you will see my name there HAHAHA) tap install, locate the supersu.zip, and wait for it to get flashed. You will see some important notice about not disturbing the process, the device should boot twice and, if everything is successful, voila! your device is rooted, after logging again like your device is fresh from the store, check the supersu app, it should not throw some error
6.5. if it's not working, try repeating the process, then before installing the supersu.zip, go to wipe first, then erase the cache (DO NOT ERASE ANY OTHER!, then go back, wipe swipe to do factory wipe.
EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK!
Just reply if you've encounter any problem.
NOTE:
it also works for the z628 (t08)

Hello,
Does it work for t08?

The method ive showed you is booting only in twrp, not replacing to stock recovery. After using the command
fastboot boot twrp.img
You should wait for your device to boot into twrp.
If you want to replace the stock recovery, im warning you,google the possible problems that may happen, if you wish to proceed, use the command
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

I got the custom twrp from a person here on xda. To avoid bootloop, don't flash the TWRP, just do the fastboot boot twrp.img, that method will never cause bootloop. What is your device? What happened after you fastboot boot twrp.img?

Your tutorial works fine . But I just want want a custom recovery so that I can make a custom ROM for this device.

i have a question
i downloaded SP Flastool for linux but how put this phone to download mode.
sow that it's connect with the program.

You will only use the sp flash tool if your device is mediatek, also, you wont need it for the rooting process this tutorial is for, you will only need the sp flash tool when your device got soft bricked

ok guys i did the test.
you can safely flash this recovery to your device.
lets make some custom roms now.

[need help] asus zc520kl [x00hd] any working rom with twrp

Update/Solved:
Currently the only way for people who deleted their OS completely in this phone model X00HD/ZC520KL is to restore the official firmware.
You can ask for a backup recovery folder in XDA Forums ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...help?nocache=1) if you do not have made a backup with people who have the same phone model. You must have TWRP previously installed and bootloader unlocked. Flashing the official firmware via .zip files is not working with twrp, you must restore the folder. After having the files needed, your recovery folder will not appear on the RESTORE section so follow this simple tutorial to make it appear there (https://youtu.be/trlG3ZxwQxI)
This method will bring your phone back to life if you're stuck in TWRP Recovery Mode with "No OS installed". This method is working and it's the only way for you to use your phone again until developers create custom ROM's for this model.

Hello, I tried your solution. It did not work. I keep getting Error Number 7 when flashing the ROM. Plus I also tried to delete the assert line in the uptader-script of the ROM you gave me the link after learning from a tutorial how to solve Error Number 7 and after that I got another error: Invalid Zip Format. I don't know what do to more, is this ROM link really compatible with my device? I need urgent help.

Thanks for the attention. I already tried tons of ROM's including the official one for this phone. I keep getting Error Number 7. Sometimes when I force an installation editing the uptader-script file it seems everything is working fine, but at the end of the ROM flash process the phone reboots and goes back to TWRP like everything had never happened. I have never seen a successful feedback, just the "Failed" message or a unexpected reboot that goes back to TWRP.
I don't know what do you mean with unlocking bootloader as I have no ROM installed and always I turn ON my phone I go to TWRP automatically. My TWRP version is 3.1.1.

Not working, as I said before, I've already tried to solve this Error. Either 3 things happen: the installation seems to be running good but at some point the device automatically reboots to it's original condition of TWRP (Liniage OS flash and after editing the file to solve Error Number 7 + I get a message saying "Invalid zip format" (Official Asus Firmware flash after editing the file to solve Error Number 7) + I get Error Number 7.

Backup ROM
Hi, I have the same model and I have TWRP as well. I think I can make backup of my ROM an upload it so you can install it on your phone, would that work for you?

Hello @pantarz, yes, give me your backup ROM you have in your phone, it should work on mine. I'm really thankful to see people like this these days. Just need the .zip file for the ROM. Thanks in advance.

Currently the only way for people who deleted their OS completely in this phone model X00HD/ZC520KL is to restore the official firmware.
You can ask for a backup recovery folder in XDA Forums ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-4-max/help?nocache=1) if you do not have made a backup. You must have TWRP previously installed and bootloader unlocked. Flashing the official firmware via .zip files is not working with twrp, you must restore the folder. Your recovery folder will not appear on the RESTORE section so follow this simple tutorial to make it appear there (https://youtu.be/trlG3ZxwQxI)
This method will bring your phone back to live if you're stuck in TWRP Recovery Mode with "No OS installed". This method is working and it's the only way for you to use your phone again until developers create custom ROM's for this model.

Hi @ANDROIDMASTER67, @pantarz I also break my phone ZC520KL ( X00HD ). It shows "no os installed" and "error 7" when I try to install a ROM.
Can you please help me fix my phone? If there is a backup that I can get please let me know.
Many thanks in advance.

I've managed to fix it by doing the following:
Copy the original recovery from a firmware package.
I could find one in the file https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474829889, location /Asus_Zenfone_4_Max_ZC520KL_20171225/Firmware/recovery.img
Load default recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery/original-recovery.img
Restart to bootloader
fastboot reboot bootloader
Load flashboot mode
choose the option "update using adb"
ensure that adb can locate devices with
adb devices
load firmware with
adb sideload UL-ASUS_X00HD-WW-14.2016.1805.374-user.zip ( try download from: https://www.beritahuaja.com/2018/11/download-stock-rom-asus-zenfone-4-max-zc520kl.html )

Easy way with only fastboot
1. Get adb and fastboot drivers
2. go to this page h ttps://addrom.com/raw-rom-for-asus-zenfone-4-max-zc520kl/ Dowload the original firware
3. Extract the files inside the your disc C:Adb
4. Go to your celphone and enter in fastboot mode... then conect the celphone to your computer ... then use cmd " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" .. this is for restore the original recovery if you have twrp.. if you dont have it , its no neccesary ..
5. in fastboot mode , go to Inside the firware search flashall_AFT.bat , double clik , wait until finish
6. go to recovery mode wipe/factory reset and tadaaaa! Your Os is restore again :bueno:

i dumped the stock rom bro @besttipsYT Not Shobith

this method is not working at this time...when i trying to flash by this method only show.......phone connected......downloding boot8....then disconnect my phone ..&reboot

Please don't flash custom recovery (here twrp) without proper knowledge or just sake of modding device. The builds and methods are not always working and may end up bricking your device.

Hi There, Can someone PLZ help me setting up OPPO PRELOADER Drivers correctly. Everytime i try to use miracle thunder i get the following log:
Waiting for USB Port...
Set USB Serial Device (COM9)
Connecting to Phone,Wait..
Connected to Phone.
CPU: MT6771 SW:0000 Ver: CA00
>>Downloading Boot8 ...
and it remains on here forever.
Actually oppo preloader shows for some time in pc and after that it goes away and hence it is not letting the miracle thunder work properly (i guess)
when my phone was working (booting in coloros 6, then also oppo preloader was doing the same thing and after a few seconds my battery would start charging), now i can't see anything on screen as it's bricked now.
Preloader doesn't even work with SP Flash Tools also.
EDIT : I have tried almost everything i knew, drivers manager add legacy option etc.
If someone could help me get out of this problem, i would really be grateful.
Brick Reason : Flashed TWRP but used fastboot command to boot into that : (
PLEASE HELP SOMEONE

Which recovery are you in? Is it Stock or Custom?
If u have stock first wipe data and then flash boot.img or ozip file (stock ROM).
If u have custom recovery then you need to flash stock recovery + stock ROM.

If recovery and fastboot are inaccessible means you need to visit service center.

Yes. Do remember you need both fastboot and recovery to be working, so you can flash Stock Recovery (only if you have TWRP installed).
If you have stock recovery installed then download stock rom from official Realme site and place it in the Sdcard (otg wont help). Enter into recovery and update/install the ozip.
If your phone is completely dead then above method wont help and you have to follow another one.
Note: If your device is rooted then installing (from stock recovery) stock rom fails. At this time flash TWRP from fastboot then flash zip file (convert stock rom from ozip to zip).

Download stock recovery.
Enter fastboot mode using Power + Volume Down. If that does not work use other combinations.
Now flash stock recovery.
Enter recovery using
Code:
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
Install ozip.
