{Answers} 2.20 Root Questions & Answers

I have seen so many thread with same questions all over in One X Q&A, so I have tried to pool all questions in one place and provide the answers.
Mod*- This should be in Q&A because i think people who do not read posts in General and come back and post questions in Q&A
First and Foremost

Question 1 - How to root 2.20 firmware
Answer
If you want to do all this in more easy way (i.e using GUI) then i would recommend you to follow - [TOOL] HTC One X (Evita) All-In-One Toolkit V1.1 [10-28-12] [PERM ROOT][Noob-Proof]
Step 1 - Setup the environment which will help you in rooting your device
1) Download Android SDK from here {For Windows}
2) Download java if you need it - here
3) Only for windows - Download htc sync ( It will install necessary htc drivers) - Link
4) Just to check if htc drivers installed properly , open "C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" ( Or folder where adb and fastboot exists) then "Press shift + right click and select "Open command window here" ( open command prompt and cd "folder where adb and fastboot exists).
5) In command window type " adb devices" and see output - If you get output then htc drivers installed properly.
"Info - What to learn about more about adb then goto - [HOW-TO] Install & Use ADB tool | Android Debug Bridge | Drivers - Videos - Tutorial
Fastboot - Link"
You can skip step 4 & step 5 - These steps are only for verification .
6) Goto [ROOT] HTC One X AT&T 2.20 Firmware - X-Factor root exploit and follow the instructions there.
7) I hope you successfully rooted your device (If not look at the FAQ)
If you think above instructions are difficult to follow then - There is awesome guide by XsMagical [ROOT][2.20][hboot 1.14] One XL Bootloader unlock & Root guide
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 2 - How to Installing custom recovery
1) You need follow the instructions listed here - Follow the instructions in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33179690 ( Thanks to GuyIncognito721)
I have further simplified the instructions which are listed in above link , so that they are more noobbbbb friendly (noobbbb - people who cannot read and follow instructions )
1) Download custom recovery, TWRP is preferred: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/99
Info"""" Reason to use TWRP -
CWM does not officially support our device, and its just a port. Due to this, CWM has some serious and known problems. As already mentioned, USB mount doesn't work. Also, it has been known in some cases to cause some major issues with dialer and other phone functionality after flashing a ROM. Problems that persist even if you try flashing another ROM or restoring a backup. These problems are difficult (although not impossible) to fix, and a big headache.
TWRP officially supports our device, gets regular updates. Its fully working, and its recommended by almost all (if not all) our developers." (Thanks to redpoint73) """""
2) Make sure the file you downloaded "openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.0-evita.img (for example) should be in same folder where adb and fasboot present ( How to make sure = You need to copy the file in the folder where adb and fasboot present)
Example - If you downloaded android sdk then the downloaded file should be in "C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" folder.
Look at twrprecovery1 - image in the attachment
3) Then open command prompt in the same folder ( by pressing shift+right click and select "open command window" here) or open command window and type cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools (or change to directory where adb and fastboot exists)
4) Then Run the following command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img (openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img is the file name which you downloaded) in command prompt
5) Then run the command fastboot reboot in the command prompt (phone will reboot, so do not panic)
6) Run the following command after the phone is rebooted adb reboot recovery
7)You should be in the new TWRP recovery.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From here follow the instructions below to flash custom roms
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 4 - How to flash Custom ROMS
Info - We have two development forums
One X Android Development - For custom roms based on sense
One X Android Orgnial Development - For ASOP, CM10 roms
1) Download the ROM of your choice on to your pc from above links
2) Once you downloaded the ROM of your choice, then extract the ROM.zip ( that mean you need to unzip it )
For example you downloaded CM10 -cm-10-20121012-NIGHTLY-evita and extracted it . Now you can see the boot.img in the folder you extracted. (( See the extract image in below ))
For example you downloaded Nocturnal Megre X rom and extracted it. Now you can see the boot.img in the folder you extracted. (( See the extract1 image in below ))
3) Now copy the boot.img from the extracted folder and paste in folder where fastboot and adb are present ( if you downloaded Android then paste it in C:\android-sdk\platform-tools )
Your folder where adb and fastboot present should now have boot.img of the ROM you extracted
4) Put phone into bootloader mode,
Either by opening command prompt in the same window where you placed boot.img (i.e where adb, fastboot is present) and running the command adb reboot bootloader in command prompt ( do not close the command prompt)
Or, since your phone is in recovery , select "Reboot" then Bootloader .
Note*- You always can get into bootloader by pressing power button + volume down for 10-15 sec. Also from there you can get into recovery by using volume keys to select recovery and pressing power button to enter into recovery
5) Once your phone is in bootloader mode, type the following command fastboot flash boot boot.img ( If command prompt is closed then open command prompt in the folder where boot.img, adb, fastboot are present . For example: C:\android-sdk\platform-tools - Same folder used in step 3)
5) Then run the following command adb reboot recovery
6) Your phone is in TWRP recovery
7) Select mount from recovery ( See mount - image in the attachments for example)
8) Copy the ROM.zip which you downloaded earlier to the SD card ( For example cm-10-20121012-NIGHTLY-evita.zip) ( Not the extracted folder but the actual zip file which you downloaded)
4) Copy the gapps into sd card ( you need to download gapps if you using CM10 or ASOP roms )
5) Unmount, then select Wipe and select Factory reset ( it is recommended to do a factory reset before flashing the new ROM. ) (See wipe, wipe1 images below )
6) Select Install in recovery and flash the ROM.zip
7) You need flash gapps if you flashing CM10 or ASOP ROMS
8) Enjoy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) If you keep getting htc red screen ( saying " This Build is for development only") then it does not mean you bricked your device. It means you forgot to flash boot.img or missed some step
2) if you are flashing similar ROMs ( having same kernel ).. there is no need to flash boot.img separately. But say if you wanna switch from sense to aosp you must do that as they have different kernels.
Again if you are just upgrading from older version to newer version of same ROM and if there are no kernel changes no need to flash it" (thanks kancherlapraneeth)
3) Another scenario, if you struck in boot for every long and you panicked and you did factory reset. After you can access only twrp recovery then do not worry, do the following
"plug in phone to your computer and enter twrp, choose "mount". Get on your computer and download Rom of choice. Once downloaded, extract Rom and seperate the boot.img. rezip Rom. Transfer Rom onto phone.
fastboot boot.img, then flash the Rom through twrp. Then your golden" (Thanks to InflatedTitan) ( Do not understand fastboot , boot.img then read above)
4) If you flashed an internation rom or rom which is not for our device and bricked your device then follow this link , the OP has similar problem and people helped him
5)Which version of super user do I need to flash [/B
In above instructions, after you installed Custom recovery you flashed custom ROM then you already have it ( since you rooted) , so check the root with app called root checker.
"If your on stock with twrp installed then it was a temp root, so root is gone after you reboot, but it allowed for a permanent boot loader unlock. So you will need to flash an su binary package and then download a superuser app from the play store." (thanks to absolutelygrim) (Case where you did not unlock the bootloader but just rooted and rebooted. ) then download http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip (Superuser zip ) and flash in recovery ( same way we flash custom ROM or gapps.) then download supersu from the market and update the binaries

Anyone correct if I wrote something wrong or need to be changed.
Mods - Delete if you find it unnecessary

I find this a good idea.... I feel we should sticky things like this in the q/a and not have one hundred threads of the same problem...like this stickied... We could have different popular subjects stickied and so not so many threads would arise

This is like a all in one thread good job!

Bro you did a damn good job on this. If a noob can't follow this, he doesn't need to be hacking anything. I mean for god sakes you've included pictures lol. Even though you've included steps and the fastboot commands, What about adding a link to gunnyman's quick anb dirty adb and fastboot tutorial? Rich in knowledge

I hope I don't sound stupid, but can we flash kernels after using the 2.20 Root method? Or should I not risk flashing a kernel?

I gotta say, I'm proud of our little community. I really haven't seen any harsh words or flaming of the recent wave of noobs, even though a lot of problems could have been easily avoidable on their part. Great job for those who have helped someone recently. I'm sure those in need appreciated it, even if they haven't hit the thanks button. They'll soon see how great the HOXLers are!

Amazing write up. This would have helped me tremendously but I managed to figure it out late last night.
Definitely appreciate people like you, and developers, that take time out of their "real" lives to do things like this for the benefit of others. Thanks!

[GUIDE][STEPbySTEP] Root/unroot BLU Pure XL (and clones)

Totally new guide! Simple step by step toutorial
It took us a while to get root on our devices. Hopefully we did it! Now we can enjoy benefits of having rooted device (like Xposed Modules etc). We have working TWRP recovery which allows us to backup your phone, flash SuperSU binaries, mods and custom ROMs (actually we are working on it). First: read whole post, then download necessary files and read it again. This guide will allow you to root your BLU Pure XL/Allview X2 Soul Xtreme/Gionee Elife E8/Condor Allure A100 and other clones I don't know.
If you don't know what is 'root' & TWRP nor understand the whole idea of rooting your phone this post (or even most of the XDA community) is not for you! Read everything carefully.​

I don't know where are you wrong...!
Maybe you say something else? Maybe give me some logcat?
I would help you if I knew the problem. As for now for me you don't have any problem. Your post is useless in this form.
You have to learn how to tell the error/problem/bug before you post anything on any forum.
If you want me to help you solving this situation send me private message or edit your post and tell the problem in the right form*, please.
Cheers,
bemolx
*Right form looks like:
What's the problem?
Did you check whole thread before posting?
If possible give me logcat/shown error
Make sure you read main post carefully
What you will need to get it working:
ADB and Fastboot drivers
SuperSU flashable zip archive
TWRP Recovery image
PC & your phone
BUT!
Code:
Your warranty is now void.
Everything you're doing with your devices is on your own!
We're not responsible for any damage on your phone!
If you don't understand what's root it's good time to STOP!
Now we're starting!
Look carefully on files you need (I've mentioned them above) and scroll down for download links. Download every file we need.
Note:
At the bottom of this post you'll find two versions of TWRP: 3.1.0-x and 2.8.6.0. Let me explain the difference:
TWRP v3.1.0-x: this version has been compiled from scratch & made by me. It is the newest available recovery version at the moment and without bugs. More info in the thread linked below.
TWRP v2.8.6.0: this version has been ported from Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 & made by @acheron1502. It's not the newest but working one. It has some little bugs. More info in the thread linked below.
I suggest you to download v3.1.0-x because it will get further support by me. But it is your choice now.
Setting up our workstation
I hope you have already downloaded everything we need.
On your Desktop create a new folder (for example "root").
Find package with ADB drivers, open it and extract to the "root" folder.
Now find TWRP image and place it also in our "root" folder. This image should look like this:
Code:
twrp-3.1.0-0-x2xtreme.img
or
Code:
BLU_PURE_XL_TWRP.img
Let's rename it like this (see below) to make our rooting process easier
Code:
twrp.img
Now we're setting up your phone
Open 'Settings' application. Scroll down to 'About phone'. Click about seven times on 'Build number'. You should see: "You are now developer".
Now find 'Developer options', then 'Enable USB Debugging' and simply enable it.
Connect your phone to the PC. On PC: find SuperSU.zip and copy it on your phone.
OMG!!! Flashing!!!
Okay... That's the most important step.
Turn off your phone. Press 'power' & 'vol +' together. This key combo should boot up your phone into stock recovery mode.
Scroll down using 'vol -' to 'Reboot bootloader' and confirm pressing 'power'. This will boot your phone into Fastboot mode.
On PC: open "root" folder. Open Command Prompt here (LShift + right mouse click -> 'open cmd here')
In the Command Prompt type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
This command will flash TWRP recovery on you phone.
After flashing process is done reboot you phone into TWRP by pressing 'vol +' and 'power'. When you see bootlogo get your finger from the 'power' button. You will see TWRP logo. You can unplug USB cable now.
We're almost here!
Now you should see TWRP main page same like in the screenshots I've attached to this post.
We must flash SuperSU binaries to get rooted phone. To do this press 'Install' button.
You should see list of files/folders on your phone. Navigate to the SU.zip and choose it by clicking on it.
TWRP will ask you for permission to flash that zip package. To allow it to do so swipe to the right slider on the bottom of the screen. Now SuperSU is installing.
After installation process is done press 'Reboot system now' button. Your device will reboot into your system.
Done!!!
And there you go! Your device should be now rooted with TWRP recovery installed. Check if your phone is rooted correctly by installing ROOT Checker. To make rebooting process much easier and faster you can download Quick Reboot.
Xposed Modules
There's an option to install Xposed Modules as I mentioned at the top of this post. Not every module is working but you can try it and let us know what's working.
To get it working you need:
Xposed Installer Alpha App (allows you to download and manage modules)
Xposed SDK zip (the most important thing)
Original thread with those files is linked below.
Note:
It's important what version of SDK you are downloading. Our device has 64-bit ARM MediaTek chipset so it is arm64 and it's running lollipop 5.1 ROM which equals sdk22. By that meaning the SDK zip you should download looks pretty much the same like this:
Code:
xposed-v80-sdk22-arm64.zip
Installing
Place both files on your phone's storage and reboot to recovery. Press 'Install' and navigate to sdk.zip. Choose it, confirm installation - when it's done reboot into system. Now use any file browser and find XposedInstaller.apk and install it.
Now you can download any module you want. Further instructions in post linked below.
How to unroot
Most of you would like to flash stock OTA etc.
To do this you have to have stock recovery installed.
First open SuperSU app, then scroll down and look for 'Clear/unroot' option. Choose it and follow on-screen instructions.
Then download stock recovery image (downloads for Elife E8 and Allure A100 will be available when someone provide me a link). Place it the 'root' folder (or just in the same directory with fastboot drivers etc.). Rename downloaded file into recovery.img.
Method 1 - using Fastboot
Reboot phone into bootloader mode. Open terminal in the 'root' folder and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now reboot into system by pressing power button for a while.
Method 2 - using TWRP
Copy downloaded recovery onto your phone's storage. Reboot phone into recovery mode. Press 'Install', then change from installing zips to installing imgs (bottom right button). Navigate to downloaded recovery file and choose it. Confirm installation. After that reboot into system.
You should be now unrooted and able to flash OTA.
Downloads:
ADB & Fastboot drivers: link
TWRP Recovery: TWRP v3.1.0-0 (recomended) or TWRP v2.8.6.0 (unofficial)
SuperSU binaries by @Chainfire: link
Stock recovery: Pure XL & X2 Xtreme (extract .zip before renaming/installing)
TWRP Materialised - Dark / Light / Play
Xposed Modules

Hey @bemolx ,
Since your thread is more of a HOW TO root, would it be OK if you move this into GENERAL and field all the rooting process questions there?
I will start a new Dev Thread for TWRP and all TWRP related development issues.
You can then use that new thread for all your download links.
EDIT:
Please use this link for TWRP in your guide.

My friends and me figured out how to get root on our phones. By the way @acheron1502 made TWRP recovery which allows us flash Super SU 2.46 (Stable). Also you can flash Xposed Modules as you want.
HOW TO INSTALL:

Make sure you have adb and fastboot drivers installed
Download TWRP from this post
Download Super SU
Copy SU.zip to your phone's storage
Reboot phone into fastboot/bootloader mode

Let's keep the development thread about this phone (Blu Pure XL) and other phones with the exact same base maker/model (ie. Gionee E8, Allview x2 Extreme). If you are asking about gaining root for a different phone and need some Mind-share from this group of people due to the other phone having a similar SOC, the best way is to open a new thread in the Q&A Section or the General Section, but I think you should wait until the phone is released first IMHO.

Guys,
1) THANKS for GREAT work!
2) Please provide more CLEAR / ACCURATE details on how to do this, because NOOBs (including myself) get very confused.
a) Link to adb / fastboot drives. Saying "they are in Google development section means nothing"
b) How do I "Reboot phone into fastboot/bootloader mode"??
This would help so many people root without bricking the phone.
Thank you once again!

I'm having issues with fastboot. It says it's blocked for security. Is there something required that isn't normally on android phones to get the fastboot method to actually allow me to enter fastboot? At the beginning was just going to recov ery and putting reboot into fastboot.

WARNING: Performing the actions decribed here will void your warranty and possibly brick your device. This was not written for complete noobs and assumes some prior experience. I will not be held responsible if you ruin your device.
NOTE: This was all tested on a stock iWork 10 Flagship dual boot (aka iWork 10 Ultimate) purchased from the manufacturers website. Device model is "i15 T", Device serial number starts with "i15TD": if you have another variant such as i15TL i can not vouch for any of this working the same way.is tablet
UPDATE: @popcorn2404 modified the boot.img on his USB Type-C variant if this tablet (i15-TCL), confirmed everything working well and was nice enough to provide the modified boot image. See downloads at end of post.
OTA: Most likely this will break OTA. Dont know yet... ​
Prerequisites:
PC with working ADB/Fastboot
Device properly recognized.
I'm using ubuntu 15.10 so I just added an entry to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules to get things going properly
(EDIT: Windows 64 bit usb drivers attached to post -thanks @Jade.J.Munkey)
TIP: I would highly recommend extracting your stock recovery, boot and system images for safekeeping. These can easily be flashed back in fastboot if something goes wrong. Some may say this is overkill as you will be able to backup and recover with TWRP, but one never knows...
Unlocking bootloader
WARNING: this will erase all data, settings, etc... AND system default language will be chinese when you reboot
Go to settings, about tablet and tap 5 times on the Build number to activate developer options
Go to Developer options and enable OEM unlocking & USB debugging
Plug in your device while booted into android, then open a terminal
just to make sure adb is good type
Code:
adb devices
my output looks like this
Code:
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
reboot tablet into fastboot mode
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
The device will now reboot to the OS selection screen. Select android and then it will boot into fastboot mode
once again just to be sure all is good type
Code:
fastboot devices
once again, my output
Code:
0123456789ABCDEF fastboot
then to unlock the bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
you then should see something like:
Code:
...
(bootloader) Unlock protection is set
(bootloader) Unlocking anyway since this is not a User build
OKAY [ 15.330s]
finished. total time: 15.330s
This is what you should see now in the bootloader if all went well:
SECURE BOOT - DISABLED
LOCK STATE - unlocked
Your bootloader in now unlocked. When you reboot it will take some time for the first boot and the system language will have defaulted back to chinese. Not too difficult to sort if you're familar with Android settings. Otherwise just google "android change system language from chinese to english".
Tip: At this point you may want to already download/copy the supersu zip to internal storage of the tablet so you're all set up for flashing it later...
Modified boot.img
Because of built in security, if you make any changes to system the device will not boot, so you need a modified boot image.
If you have the exact same kernel version as I do you can download the provided modified boot image here. Otherwise you can look HERE for instructions on how to make your own modified boot image. Personally I used SuperR's Kitchen to unpack & repack the image and did the modifications manually with gedit.
Kernel version 3.14.37-x86_64-L1-R429 made on Wed Mar 2 18:22:46 CST 2016
-if you have that one you are good to go ahead and use the image provided here.
Boot device into fastboot connected to PC. From the directory where you have the modified boot image type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot i15TDboot.img
Obviously if you made your own boot image you'll need to replace "i15TDboot.img" with the name of yours...
That's it, now on to recovery and rooting...
Flashing custom TWRP (compiled by @vampirefo)
Assuming you are still connected to the device in fastboot and the custom recovery is in the same directory:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery i15t_recovery.img
Now use volume buttons to select recovery mode and tap power button.
You should now be in TWRP. First, please be smart and make a backup!
Because this device has an unusual mount point, the supersu script will fail to properly mount system (thus failing to flash) so:
From TWRP main screen select "mount" then select system, then return to main screen
Select "install" and then the supersu zip you should already have on the tablet.
Boot system. Now there is one thing left to do:
To prevent the system from overwriting TWRP with the stock recovery on the next reboot:
With a root enabled file manager mount system r/w and navigate to /system/etc
Rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak
That's it. Enjoy!

Thanks

Thanks very much for the good work, I am successfully rooted. The only deviation from the instructions that occurred for me was that /system/etc did not appear in the TWRP file manager, fortunately the .sh did not run upon rebooting after installing the SU zip. So I just I just renamed the .sh in NextApp File Explorer with Root Add-On installed once booted in to android; I have since tested booting in to recovery and then back to android and it is working fine.
Here is the driver I found to enable the Cube iwork10 Ultimate to be seen by Windows 10 64bit whilst in fastboot:

Glad it worked out for you. Based on your experience I changed the instructions in the OP. Actually that's the exact same I did after doing this the first time but I thought it would be easier to do before first boot in TWRP. Anyhow thanks for pointing this out.

Can someone please make like a video for this or something more lames terms (user friendly). Cause i have a cube iwork 10 Ultimate Dual Boot (i15-TL) and am having issues on Android side where i do not have an option to move apps to sd card in apps settings. Also in storage there is no tab showing all apps on sd card. Im guessing i would need to root my device right? Can someone please help me i just want to get this working properly... i would show screenshots but i don't know how to attach them.

Will the recovery work with i15-TL?

From what I understand from reading at http://techtablets.com/forum/forums/cube/iwork-10-ultimate/
-it *should* work as my understanding is that the TD and TL are virtually identical other than different flavors of windows installed. But I can NOT personally confirm this as I have not tested on the TL variant.
What I can say with a higher level of certainty is that the procedure for unlocking the bootloader should be exactly the same. Once the bootloader is unlocked it is easy to reflash the stock recovery via fastboot should the custom recovery not work properly. (Assuming one has previously extracted an image of the original recovery to begin with. Same for boot and system images.)
So if the custom recovery does not work, it is pretty easy to reflash the original, as well as the original boot or system images should something else get messed up.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything else if anything is unclear...

Thank you for your precise answer. I already successfully rooted my Cube. I need the recovery to flash the latest xposed sdk. I' ll have a look if someone extracted the original recovery.

As clearly stated in the OP, I do not know for sure because I have not tried on that variant, but it *should* work. If you read a few posts back, you can see that another TL owner seems to have successfully rooted his device. Hot tip: *reading* is very important here before asking questions.

No, this will not affect the windows side of things. Dual boot is unaffected.

The instructions for unlocking and rooting in the OP are very simple and straightforward. If you are inexperienced in general with rooting android or with adb/fastboot, those answers can easily be found on XDA and elsewhere by searching.
As far as moving apps to SD, since nobody seems to have done it yet (or posted that they have) the only way right now would be to root your device and try out one of the specific apps for that like link2sd. I will try to check this out ASAP but can not promise how soon because I'm focusing my efforts right now on porting another ROM to this device...

Upgrade QiKU (CP8692_I02) to 6.0.1, official updates and also activate VoLTE

Hello Friends
A little background first !!
QiKU Q Terra (CP8692_I02) which was sold in India and came pre-installed with 360 OS v21, Android 5.1. The OEM went back to China hence there haven not been any software update for our device. I had been trying to boot latest Chinese 360 OS on Indian Qiku Terra to get updates but after flashing the Chinese version the device would not boot at all and would get stuck in fastboot mode. To revive the device, I had to flash back the V21, I had tried several times but no success.
I even got in touch with the 360 OS engineers over mail with the help of an administrator of Qiku Chinese forum but the engineers said it's not possible to flash Chinese 360 OS on Indian Qiku Q Terra.
I had also been trying to root QiKU and I was able to figure it out all recently.
Check out my post -- https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...i02-unlock-t3493636/post69455878#post69455878
This tutorial is also useful for users of CP8692_M02 who had flashed the v21 on their devices and now are not able to go back to CP8692_M02.
Warning !! Try this own your on risk although it's very safe if you follow the instructions without missing any steps. Don't blame me if you still manage to kill your phone and loose your job :laugh::laugh:
Let's begin !!
Just ensure your device bootloader is unlock before you follow the instructions as it's required to boot 360 Chinese OS on the Indian QiKU.
Download the latest firmware and flash the same with YGDP or Qiku Download Assistant tool. When finished, the device won't boot and still be in fastboot mode. Now boot TWRP recovery from your pc, go to the folder where you have the TWRP recovery and press shift and right click and select "open command window here" and type the following
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot (recovery name).img
This should boot TWRP on your device.
You can also flash TWRP recovery if wish to,
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery (recovery name).img
Now boot TWRP
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot (recovery name).img
When in recovery mode you can use cmd to extract params partition which contain your device model name. Open cmd on your pc and type the following command
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 of=/sdcard/params.bak
Once done, you'll have a file name params.bak on your phone's internal memory, copy the same to your pc. Download NotePad++ and install it, link - https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Only use NotePad++ to edit the params, don't use NotePad. Plus make a copy of your params.bak file and keep it somewhere safe in case you mess up with original params file.
Right click on params.bak and open it with NotePad++, now search CP8692. The device model name would be CP8692_I02 just change I to M and save the changes, now it should be CP8692_M02.
The system partition size is not enough to flash Gapps hence you need to use TWRP recovery resize option.
In TWRP recovery and select > Wipe > Advance Wipe > System > click FS Option > click Resize FS now you shall have more free space in system partition
In TWRP now click reboot then click bootloader, in bootloader press volume up for fastboot mode. On pc open cmd in the folder where you have params.bak saved and type the following command:-
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase params
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash params params.bak
fastboot -i 0x1ebf reboot
If everything went well your device should boot Chinese 360 OS, Android 6.0.1 normally.
Now flash modified Gapps in TWRP which you have downloaded. The modified Gapps has Gmail & Hangout beside core apps and rest you can download from play store later.
If you flash bigger Gapps, the device will not boot or it shall be in bootloops coz of Gapps size and if you don't flash Gmail and Hangouts with the modified Gapps and download the same from Play store then it would give you connection trouble.
In case you wish to root then flash SuperSU.zip in TWRP.
Back to the booted device:-
To Activate VoLTE, download QuickShortcutMaker app from play store. Open the app and locate MBN test > click on the dropdown menu > click Try > Tick Volte_OpenMkt-Commercial-CMCC > and last click Activate.
Close the app and go to phone setting > Call settings > and enble VoLTE and you're done. You should see HD sign in the status bar of your phone. Now you can enjoy VoLTE calls.

Have you tried the code in custom recovery mode??? If you're using the code when the device is NOT in recovery mode then you have to use the following code:-
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 of=/internalsdcard/params.bak
Just bear in mind that you have to be rooted to use the above mentioned code and in recovery mode you don't need to be rooted.

Flashing the supersu.zip to root Qiku is the easiest way if you ask me. I tried my best to give the instructions in a simplest way possible making video is not on my mind.
Changing the model no in build.prop would not help in booting Android 6.0.1 on Indian Qiku v21. Had this been so easy I would've done the same a long time ago

Help me @Zauq. I am not able to download 6.0 update file from baidu as connection to file gets disconnected after 1 GB of data everytime. I have wasted atleast 10 GB of data due to this. Please help me out if you can upload the file to google.

Thanks for your quick reply. I am not able to sign up on baidu. If you have latest file than please upload on any big file sharing site such as pcloud. That will be very helpful. I am bit of noob on development side of Android. I have developed kernel driver for real time linux but android I am learning. Please share if any good tutorials to start developing for Android. Thanks again @Zauq

{GUIDE} {H918} Restore laf partition/Download mode after root with lafsploit.

As the title states this guide will walk you through restoring your laf partition/download mode after root via the lafsploit method​.
This guide is for the H918/T-Mobile variant ONLY!
Attempting to use the files provided in this thread on any other variant may result in a brick! You have been warned.
YOU MUST HAVE SOME FORM OF ROOT ACCESS FOR THIS PROCESS TO WORK!​
Before we begin this guide will be relatively straight forward, and much easier than rooting the phone itself (IMO). That said when making any modifications to your device, and by following this guide you assume any & all responsibility for any damage physical or otherwise to your device(s).
Prerequisites/Downloads:
1. ADB & Fastboot drivers Download & install (If you don't already have them of course) from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
(There are other ways to obtain them, but this is the simplest and most straight forward.)
2. I'm not entirely sure they are needed for this, but it wouldn't hurt to install the LG Mobile Drivers either found here: http://www.lg.com/us/support/software-firmware-drivers
3.I have extracted (from 10P KDZ) and tested this image myself before uploading, and now have download mode back on my v20. You can find it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056038567 (Save to a location you can remember. If you're unsure go ahead and save it to your desktop.)
These remaining downloads are entirely optional, but I figured I would include them. Only download these if you intend to extract the laf.img yourself. (More details on that later.) (Not recommended for the average user.)
1. You'll need the kdz to extract the images from. Found here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h918tn-firmwares/#more-3864 (You're looking for the H91810p kdz).
2.You'll also need to download the WindowsLGFirmwareExtractor found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575 (Be sure to leave a thanks for this awesome tool.)
Flashing the image​
1. Begin by verifying USB debugging is enabled on your device. (If it is not go to Settings/About/Software Info. Click build number until you get the toast notification that you are a developer. Back out to Settings Click Developer Options, and turn on USB debugging.)
2. Plug in your device (Make sure it is in File transfer mode.)
3. Open up a command prompt (May require running as admin. I always do so I have no clue.)
Type:
Code:
adb devices
Your device should be listed if you have accepted the prompt on your device. (If you are not quick enough and accept the prompt, but it still shows nothing run adb devices again.)
4. If your device is listed navigate to where you saved the laf.img (again for the purposes of this guide I will be using the Desktop.)
Type:
Code:
cd c:/users/Type your windows username here/Desktop
You should now be in your desktop.
Type:
Code:
adb push -p laf.img /sdcard/laf.img
wait for it to complete.
Type:
Code:
adb shell
then
Code:
su
You will need to grant adb Superuser permissions on your device to continue. If you are successful you should see this "elsa:/ #"
Finally type:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/laf.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/laf
Wait for it to complete.
Type exit twice.
5. You can now unplug your device, power off, and plug in the usb while holding vol up to enter dl mode to verify it worked.
6. Success Congrats. You have download mode back on your device!
Extracting the laf image yourself​(For the extremely paranoid)
1. Download the required files from above.
2. Extract WindowsLGFirmwareExtract v1.2.5.0 to your desktop, and open it up (preferably in it's own folder).
3.Select Open across from KDZ/TOT file, and browse to your KDZ you download previously and double click.
4.After it loads the kdz check H91810p00.dz, and click Extract KDZ.
5.Close and re open the program this time Click open across from DZ File in the folder where you placed WindowsLGFirmwareExtract you should see a file called H91810p00.dz Double click to open it.
6.Check laf_6.bin then click Extract DZ.
7.Rename the laf_6.bin to laf.img.
8.Follow the steps above to flash the newly extracted image to your device.

Just trying to help give something back to the community. That said this my first guide. I tried to make it as simple as possible, and laid out in a way that's easy to understand and follow. So if anyone has any suggestions please don't hesitate to let me know.

That's because one doesn't exist, but if you follow the OP instructions which are pretty simple then you should be golden

I've had my h918 arb1 10u rooted for a month now, never noticed in twrp till now of an all in red "The partition cannot be located by the name "LAF".
Do I really need it?. I was coming from RR rom 8.0 back to Super rom 7.0 in twrp. While installing Super rom thats where I noticed the red worded statement in the list of rom install load. I was kinda startle cuz it's laf... I was like ahhh fkkk I'm gonna get bricked but then phone boots like normal, everything is normal, I even install other roms back n fourth just to test for anything else wrong but nope everything is good. I can still enter download mode with USB cord.. it acts normal, I can boot to twrp recovery normally from trwp app in stock super rom and advance menu on aosp roms too. So.... Is laf any important anymore?? Should I go ahead and and follow this guide for laf repair?....
(Edit)
Nevermind, Sorry.
I found that laf after rooting is not needed anymore cuz twrp occupies that spot. I did find a flashable laf restore zip in the thread by "[ROOT] - lafsploit - H918 (any version up to 10u) - now n00b friendly by runningnak3d".
Problem solved.

download link broken

Wanted to thank you this worked perfectly! I was in quite the predicament where I ran the LAF exploit in FWUL but I didn't downgrade before rooting. That made it so I couldn't flash TWRP to recovery and for whatever reason I couldn't boot into TWRP from download mode again (only worked once or twice) I couldn't flash in fastboot and I was sure I was screwed. THANK YOU!!!

dl link is broken, pls reup !
thx
