Hello, i'm a big problem for my motorola milestone 2 A953, I apologize for my language and my mistakes.
Hello, I recently purchased from eBay Milestone 2 has an English menu and is purchased in the UK, I wanted to upload to the new software CM9 best unless it can not be CM7, and right now I have a problem namely
I have bootloader 70.13, upload the file to the memory card from the CM9 and GAPPS bootloader fires (up arrow + power) via USB to the PC turn on RSD lite version 5.x choose the file with the extension *. SBF and then kicks me out of 100% and I turned on the phone once again turn to the new bootloader and shows the pass. My next step holds the power and turn off phone and then I hit 'x' + power and shows me a screen with an exclamation point in a triangle and android humanoids press volume + camera and then a magnifying glass on the keyboard and nothing happens no fires are no menu is the same I'll do it but as I press the @ button on the keyboard or anything, no menu: (
I did everything the instructions that I found on forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338183
1) Install Bootstrap Recovery Droid2
2) Boot into recovery
3) OPTIONALLY: create a backup of your data
4) Choose Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard and select downloaded ZIP file.
5) OPTIONALLY: install Google Apps the same way
6) Wipe data / factory reset
7) Wipe cache partition
8) Reboot and enjoy
9) OPTIONALLY: use attached Baseband app switcher if you have troubles with phone signal.
all worked out, but when I went passed the phone rebote motorola logo and nothing else happens. I do not know how to solve this problem.
I can not run the recovery menu. I can only enter the bootloader version is 70.13.

So this is the easiest and the safest way to upgrade your phone (new ROM Android), install GAPPS and Root.
I have done this with (B544) and (B550) U9508_EmotionUI_1.5_V100R001CHNC00B550 Android 4.1.2, so you also can do this with B628 and B629 and others:

First update to B709 and then do a Factory data reset and a Erase internal storage (do not forget to make a copy of the backup (HuaweiBackup) on your computer or SD Card) and
then flash it to B804.
Ow and before you install a new Firmware on your phone, you first use the App Back-up to backup all your Apps (including Google Play Store and Google Play-services)
and contacts and SMS and more, then you installed the new Firmware.
Then you used Back-up again and installed all your Apps back on your phone including Google Play Store and Google Play-services, and now Google Play works and
you do NOT have to install Chinese recovery, so if you had a old Firmware on your phone before you installed the New Firmware, you do not need Chinese
recovery, just use the App Back-up that came with the Firmware.
You don't need Chinese recovery to root your phone.
Ow and you need to press 7 times on the build number to see developers settings, in B7*** and above.
And put a copy of your backup on a Computer, and on your SD-Card if the App have not done that already.
You have to sign into gapps before the backup app will allow the option to backup google services.

This is how you Replace Chinese Recovery with original recovery
1. Go to Settings and go to Developer options, and enable USB debugging.
2. Plug the phone in the computer, and Choose USB storage device (or Media device (MTP).
3. Restart phone and boot phone with Power & - volume
4. Open Recovery6.0.1.9_AscendHonor2.exe.
5. Now press 2 for The original recovery (1 is Chinese recovery), and press Enter.
6. If all is OK, the program will do its job and Reboot into FASTBOOT MOD, then he Flash the selected recovery and then he reboot the device 2 times.
7. Now your selected recovery have been installed.
Before starting the firmware you need to have:
If you unlocked the boatloader you cannot use official updates (Firmwares) from Huawei.
1. SD card of at least 2GB
2. Phone with a charged battery at least 50%
1. Plug the phone in the computer.
2. Unpack the archive with the firmware and throw dload folder to the root of the memory card.
3. Unplug the phone from the computer.
4. In the phone menu - Settings - Storage - Software Update - SD card Upgrade (or Settings - About phone -
System update - (Local update) Update via SD Card).
5.The phone will reboot and begin the upgrade process and you will see the following picture (be patient it can take a few minutes).
If you see a lot of Chinese letters after you boot, it means that you have installed Chinese recovery with recovery6.0.1.9_AscendHonor2.exe,
and you have to replace Chinese Recovery like you see above.
First backup all your Apps and your Massages and Browser history and Call logs and more with Back-up,
thats a App that came with your phone.
After the update the phone will reboot and start (also be patient).
Google Play Store
1. Connect phone to computer, (first install the Huawei USB Drivers) then put
GAPPS on you intern or extern Storage, now power down phone.
2. Power up your phone whilst holding Power & - volume.
3. Now your phone should be stuck in the "Huawei Ascend" logo, now connect to computer and run recovery6.0.1.9_AscendHonor2.exe
and press 1 and enter.
Then if he ask something about 1 and 2 option, and nothing happens do this:
Press CTRL+C then N. And it should start.
Make sure fastboot is OFF and USB debugging is ON
4. Now you should have custom recovery (woo), disconnect usb and remove battery.
5. put battery in and boot phone with Power & + volume.
6. So now you notice everythings chinese MYGOOOD, so do this:
Menu button 2 --> Menu button 1 [zip from internal memory]
Menu button 2 --> Menu button 4 [zip from external memory]
And select your GAPPS zip file.
Then a few seconds later GAPPS (Google Plays Store) is installed.
Then go back, Menu button 5 and then press menu button 1 (this will boot your phone).

Chinese Recovery
Only works if you installed recovery6.0.1.9_AscendHonor2.exe, like you see above.
Download and copy CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip (or any similar SuperSU) to your SD Card.
Shutdown your phone, restart by pressing Power + Volume Up buttons until you enter CWM screen.
Menu button 2 --> Menu button 1 [zip from internal memory]
Menu button 2 --> Menu button 4 [zip from external memory]

2. Now select System Apps and then select ProMode
3. Now select the App and select Uninstall.
4. thats all now the App is uninstalled and is gone from your phone.
If Root App Delete don't work use Final Cleaner & Task Killer
I have done it and it's very easy, if you already had MoreLocale 2 on your phone and selected your language then he will go to your language
in a view clicks, and if you had English in settings then you also still will have that, also with ADW.Launcher or (i hear better) with
Apex Launcher you have your App Drawer and more back.
Why is my notification bar (panel) gone?
To have a working notification bar, there are a few conditions to be achieved by the rom:
-the file cust/channel/*countryname*/xml/hw_defaults.xml must contain two lines:
<integer toolBoxSwitch="1"/>
<string toolBoxDisplayWidgetNameArray="com.huawei.android. toolbox,com.huawei.android.toolbox.ToolBoxProvider "/>
-the file system/build.prop must contain the line: ro.config.hw_toolbox=true
-the updater-script must contain the correct symlink, like: symlink("/cust/channel/cn", "/data/cust");
When using an original update from a country different than the phone's country, there is no symlink made, so all the files in the cust partition are not
seen by the phone, which leads to no notification bar and other issues!
In a custom rom the symlink is forced in the updater-script, so if everything else is ok, everything works!
Also, if someone flash a rom of Batty86 for example, and clean data after flashing, the symlink leads to a deletion of the cust partition, so again we have
no notification bar and so on.
I hope it's a bit more clear now.
Change languages without morelocale2
To get more languages without morelocale2, you can look for /сust/channel/cn/xml/hw_defaults.xml on your phone (use Root Browser to select file).
Now go about 60% down till you are at Phone related, and then you will see:
<string white_languages="zh_CH,en_US"/>
And put between en_US and "/> your language you want, en_GB is British English language, fr_FR is French language, de_DE is German language, and so on and so on.
So if you want your Phone to be French you have to do this <string white_languages="zh_CH,en_US,fr_FR"/>
And also do that with:
<!--string white_languages="zh_CH,en_US"/-->
Wipe data/factory reset the phone once again, and you should have more languages at your disposal.
SO now you can choose your language, and never have to use morelocale2 anymore (until you reflash your Firmware of course).
You need root access for this.
Good luck everybody.

UPDATE: Have you ROOTED your phone, because GAPPS won't work without a rooted phone.

Then try to reinstall GAPPS, or try a different one, like a new one.
Or just put the newest Stable Emui on your phone like i have done B544, works perfect on my phone, so must also work on yours.

There are almost no Chinese things on it anymore, you can delete them almost all, and also disable them if you want.
Ok i will make some screen shots, and then put them here.
This is how MY B544 EmotionUI_1.5_V100R001CHNC00B544 Android 4.1.2 looks like.
So if you first install B544 it looks different, you can change everything you like, even how icons looks and so on.

There is some little problem with installing the B605.
After i copy the dload folder to the sd card, turn off, then (Vol + Vol - and Power) or (Settings - Storage - Software Update - SD card Upgrade)
it boots into Geno mod screen, with a lot of Chinese ****.
something like 7-8 options.
All this, instead of installing the new B605...
BTW, now i'm on MIUI.
How to solve this? If i do get it right, the recovery of mine is not the original, coz once i've installed it via recovery6.0.1.9_AscendHonor2.
But now, i dont know how to rollback to original recovery....

complete guide by navin_n
People always asking again and again on flashing ROMs, Recovery, GApps, Root etc. So, I have made detailed step by step guide for this. Hope now it will be clear to everyone for these processes:
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING FROM FOLLOWING, PLEASE MAKE ANANDROID BACKUP, BEST WITH TWRP!!!BECAUSE TWRP CAN MAKE BACKUP INCLUDING PRESIST AND MODEMST PARTITIONS!!![/CENTER]
GUIDE TO FLASH STOCK ROM:
NOTE:
1. Be sure to backup all important data (contacts, messages, call records, etc.) before proceeding
2. Ensure that Phone Battery is at least 40%.
3. Downloaded required STOCK ROM.
4. Phone with Stock Recovery.
STEPS:
1. Copy the downloaded zipped STOCK ROM to the root directory of External SD card or Internal SD card.
2. Power-off the phone.
3. Put the phone in the Recovery Mode and for this you need to press Vol+ and Power button at the same time for few secs and then release the Power Button.
4. In the Stock Recovery, perform wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition (In the menu, use +/- volume keys to scroll up/down & power button for confirmation).
5. Depending on which SD card you have copied the zipped STOCK ROM, choose "Apply update from /sdcard" or "Apply update from external /sdcard" accordingly.
6. Select the zipped STOCK ROM to flash.
7. Wait until you get the confirmation of successful flashing.
8. Reboot the phone by selecting "reboot system now".
9. DONE. (Initial boot may take some time so have patience.)
GUIDE TO INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY + CUSTOM ROM:
AS FOR CERTAIN REPORTS IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO FLASH CWM RECOVERY IF YOU HAVE 1/8 VERSION
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Be sure to backup all important data (contacts, messages, call records, etc.) before proceeding.
2. Working Windows PC with ADB Drivers installed - without proper installation of drivers the process will not be successful.
3. Ensure that Phone Battery is at least 40%.
STEPS: (If you need only Custom Recovery, then follow the steps from 2 to 7, other steps you can skip)
1. Download the required zipped Custom ROM and copy it to the root directory of External SD card or Internal SD card.
2. Download the Recovery Tool zip file. (Link to download the Tool) . Make sure to download whole files. After that copy the zipped file to the root directory of C:\ or any place you prefer and then unzip the downloaded file.
3. Enable USB debuging mode. ("Menu Button" >> System settings(Settings) >> About phone(On the phone) >> Tap 6 times on Build number>>"Back button">> More >> Developer options >> Enable USB Debugging)
4. Connect the phone to the PC.
5. Go to the folder where you have unzipped the Recovery Tool file, and then execute the batch file "run.bat".
6. In PC, new window will open. Input your choice of Custom Recovery accordingly.
7. Follow the steps on-screen until all completes.
8. After completion, in the Fastboot menu, select "Boot recovery".
9. If the Custom Recovery was flashed succesfully, you will get CWM or TWRP recovery menu.
10. Perform wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
11. To flash the firmware: Select "Install ZIP" >> "choose zip from sdcard0 or sdcard1" depending on which SD card you have copied the ROM, external or internal >> Select Custom ROM >> Click Yes to flash selected ROM.
12. Wait until you get the confirmation of successful flashing.
13. Reboot the phone by selecting "reboot system now".
14. DONE. (Initial boot may take some time so have patience.)
GUIDE TO INSTALL GAPPs & ROOT:
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Backup all important data (contacts, messages, call records, etc.) before proceeding, if necessary.
2. Requires CUSTOM RECOVERY.(Mandatory)
STEPS:
1. Download appropriate flashable zipped GAPPS & ROOT files and copy it to the root directory of External SD card or Internal SD card.
2. Power-off the phone.
3. Put the phone in the CWM or TWRP Recovery Mode and for this you need to press Vol+ and Power button at the same time for few secs and then release the Power Button.
4. Flash the zipped files (one at a time): Select "Install ZIP" >> "choose zip from sdcard0 or sdcard1" depending on which SD card you have copied the file, external or internal >> Select Zipped File >> Click Yes to flash selected file.
(No need to do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition)
5. After successful flashing, reboot the phone by selecting "reboot system now". If it ask to fix the permission when you reboot, select Yes.
7. Wait until you get the confirmation of successful flashing.
8. DONE. (Your phone will have GApps and Root Permission)

APPS taht can be remover (thanx navin_n)
If you have already Rooted your device then you can easily uninstall the system apps using "Root Uninstallers" available in Google Play.
However, for me , i prefer to use Root Explorer and delete the apps from system folder. The following apps are safe to delete but still i advise you to backup the files before deleting. If you use Root Explorer, make sure to change attribute of the system folder from Read Only (R/O) to Read Write (R/W) when deleting.
Be ware you make it on your own!! If there is also odex file, delete them too!!!
APPs that can be deleted:
folder --> /system/app
nubia_account.apk - only if you log in in nubia account (maybe you need this to use themes)
nubia_Calculator_v1.2.1.apk - calculator app (i dont like it so i installe another one and delete this)
nubia_Calendar_v1.0.apk - nubia calendar app
nubia_ClockWidget.apk - clock widget
nubia_Music.apk - nubia music player
nubia_myfile.apk - nubia file manager
nubia_NBSecurity.apk - nubia antivirus and system cleaner
nubia_NotePad_v1.1.5.apk - nubia notepad
nubia_zbiglauncher_v2.0.apk - nubia launcher for old people (everything is biiig)
NubiaPlatLogo_V1.0.0.apk - nubia lanim showing when you tap on NUBIA version in "about phone"
ZAppDataBackup.apk - nubia main app for backup your phone
ZDataBackup.apk - nubia backup app
ZQuickSearchBox.apk - nubia quick search box (if you install GAPPS it contains original google search box)
ZVideo.apk - very basic media player
If you dont use Live Wallpapers you cen delete the main app:
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
and of course all livepaper apks
BasicDreams.apk
HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
NoiseField.apk
PhaseBeam.apk
folder --> /system/preset_apps

Hi, I'm interested in buying this phone.. Could you tell me your first impressions?
It seems very good but I can't see any support for it, even if it has a Snapdragon 400..

ROOT
the only way to root it so far is to run an Chinese exe, which will root your phone and install superuser (chinese one). Then you need to uninstall the superuser and install one from google play.
CWM
so far there is only chinese CWM 6.0.4.6..looking for someone who can make it english.

Hi,
there ar ea lot of Chinese phones, this phone is ment to be sell china only.
There are many forums but in Chinese.
I wrote a little review on gizchina.cz (is in Czech language,so use google translator)
TIP
For new users i recommend do this:
-boot your phone and see vhich version of formware you have (latest at this time is 0.50).
-If you have 0.44, then go to dialer and dial ##36. You get to the menu where you can select which server will be used for updates (at this time is 0.50 only for few people for feedback). then go to ybout phone and tap serach for updates and you get the update.
-after update is installed, go to about phone and tap 5times "build number" line , go back and go to "more" and "developer option" and turn on usb debugging.
-launch my root.bat, select root your phone and th ephone will reboot to bootloader and will be rooted.
-now you can install custom recovery (from my bat.file) it is bilangual CWM 6.0.4.9 recovery. Everything works fine as i used it.
-now after root and cwm recovery installed, make backup of your 0.50 rom and then you can proceed to delete bloatware (a lot of bloatware).
for rotted phones with CWM recovery:
if you want to make update from ZTE OTA, you have to load original recovery, the one in my package is not functional with update to 0.50 and above, so you have to flash from CWM recovery this package, then reboot and get the proper stock recovery, which will be functional with the update 0.44-0.50 and later.

Thanks for the info! I'm currently updating to 0.5 and will let you know if I manage to root it too.
I`ve read the review and mine phone too has the squeaky back cover. It started squeaky after just few back panel removals. This is not a concern for me, but I wanted to ask you something else: How is you call quality? When I do calls the other side can hear me perfectly but the sound through my ear speaker is muffled and not very clear. Increasing the volume make it even worse. Do you experience such an issue?
-the back cover is really squeaky (i allready ordered another one)
-I am very happy vith the call quality. I had a nexus s whos volume vas up to 100%. Now i am about 60% and everything is loud and clear as i can hear
root and installing cwm is like a charm..i made it in the las 2 weeks (as i own the phone) about 10times
one Question: If you reboot the device do you also have the message "android is upgrading" every time no matter what you do or not do with the system?

- I tried updating to 0.5 both through FOTA and with direclty downloaded update from the chinese official site to the sd card, but I always get some error (forgot what it was), will try tomorrow once again.
- My apps are upgrade after each reboot too. I was hoping that 0.5 will fix this issue, but It seems this is not the case.
- I'm on the hunt for a new back cover too, but I will wait for the official blue ones Share your thoughts on the one you purchased after a few days of usage
My only problem with the phone I experience is the bad incoming sound quality during calls. I will have try another sim card.
ps: boy this phone is a beauty

Hi, can you please tell the name of chinese official site for our phone? thanks!
SITES IN cHINESE LANGUAGE
Hello,
so there are many sites. To see attachments you have to register to the sites, which is a little bit tricky due to instatnt need of translation in the registration process, but it can be done.
official with a lot of new information also from ZTE service:ztehn.com
the best for custom ROM and Recovery (development):anzhi.com
to see anzhi.com you need to add two adress in your windows hosts file see here
also some good information can be found here on myzte.cn
another tip
-If you get the "android is upgrading" on every boot, then you have to uninstall titanium backup, reboot, wait 3 minutes and let the system settle down, then install titanium again, reboot, and its done.
-if you want to restore WIFI access point and passwords form Titanium Backup, use backup from tar file, not from XML!!!
Waiting on a custom rom
Hello everyone,
I used the method I found at needrom.
It did the trick; the device was rooted, gapps installed, an multilangual.
But I didn't manage to install the latest update (50). I thought it was because the device was rooted, so I removed root, whitout succes, I am still not able to install the update.
Also I think the contact manager is buggy; newly added contacts dissapear after rebooting the device, it doesn't matter if I sync the device. I have to import my contacts from my SD card every time this happens.
So, I hope there comes a good custom rom for this device with this excellent hardware! I have Miui unofficiall on my Xiaomi Mi2s, it works like a charm. I hope soon this device appears on the list one of these days
update
-if you installed the ROm from needrom, i think you cannot upgrade to 0.50.
-on www.ztehn.com you can download the full 0.50 rom (only english and chinese language) this rom you can flash.
-contacts: If you are in contacts, press "more" and "advanced" and check the "default storage" it must be set to your google account. Then go back and check "display settings" and check which accounts are to show in contact list.
I had same problem and the problem was, that all new contact automaticly save to local storage and i have the local storage unchecked to display..so i havent seen my newly added contacts!!!
I have same issue
I have same isse. I dont hear anyone. But everyone hear me. i think that built in speaker doesnt work.

Hi All, new to this forum... what brought me here is trying to figure out if I can upgrade the TF101 to android higher than 4.0.3 that seems to be the "normal" latest version you can get.
Issues I have are: lockup, freeze, twitter post (crash twitter), screen weird colors (need reboot) etc... Maybe I have some hardware issue... planing to open the case and verify all connectors are ok and well seated.
I just spent 4 hours looking around this forum and saw the KatKiss 4.4.4 thing... I say thing because I have no clue (and did not find how) to install this thing.
So! Is it worth it that I spent hours more on understanding how to upgrade, debug and all... or I just go buy a new tablet?
I saw some post around the twitter issue that did not work either after KatKiss upgrade, so not sure if it's worth it ?
I was looking at the Samsung Pro tablets with 8 cores... seems amazing! But pricy!
Anyhow, recommendations?
If you say... sure try to upgrade to 4.4.4 with KatKiss... ok, I can try that, but from the last 4 hours of reading/looking around, I did not find instructions steps I could understand.
Most of those steps I have not clue what they are!
These builds are designed to be installed from your favorite recovery. MAKE SURE TO INSTALL A COMPATIBLE ANDROID 4.2/4.3 RECOVERY!
TWRP >= 2.3.2.3 is recommended, new TWRP available here
Backup everything !
Go to recovery
Make a full wipe / factory reset (you can skip this step if you're already on KatKiss-4.4, if ever you encounter a problem do the full wipe and try again before reporting )
Format /system (only if Version<026)
Flash the rom
Flash KatKiss gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot

Thanks for any feedback

I have the tab pro and i like it a lot.
I also have the tf101 running katkiss.
The katkiss is running smooth for me.
All is well and no issues this far.
So I would say try katkiss.

Hi Simon.
Is your device already rooted?
You need to root your device first.
What android version are you running?

Easiest way, use Easyflasher (If your TF101 has a serial number B6O or eariler (Some B7O), it is an SBK1, most B7O and all higher are SBK2) choosing the wrong one in Easyflasher will not do any harm, it just won't work

2. Download KatKiss ROM #33 & Latest Gapps and copy to your MicroSD, stick MicroSD Card into TF101
3: Boot to TWRP Recovery by powering off the TF, then pressing and holding Power & Volume Down until the white text appears at the top of the screen, then quickly hit Volume Up once
4: Goto the WIPE menu, and wipe everything apart from External Storage (This will 100% wipe your TF, so if you have anything you want to keep, back it up, you can also make a Nandroid backup inside of TWRP, so make sure your MicroSD Card has enough room if you choose that)
5: Once everything is wiped, goto the INSTALL menu and install KatKiss ROM you copied to the MicroSD Card (Might have to select External from the INSTALL menu to navigate to the MicroSD Card)
6: When the ROM says it is completed the install, go back to the INSTALL menu and install the GAPPS you also copied to the MicroSD Card
7: Once GAPPS have completed installing (Ignore any messages about failing to mount partitions etc) WIPE Cache and Dalvik Cache (Might ask you immediately after flashing Gapps, if not, do it from the WIPE menu
8: Choose REBOOT > SYSTEM or POWER OFF > REBOOT
9: All being well, you are now running the KatKiss ROM

TIPS:
When using Easyflasher, you're gonna need to install the "Universal Naked Drivers" from the Easyflasher thread - use a 32bit Windows 7 for least chance of any problems, 64bit windows requires driver signing, and so do all versions of Windows 8.x, you can use 8.x but you'll need to disable driver signing mode before installing them

Any problems, reply here and I`ll check every now and then

Search in the start menu for Device Manager and open it.
Plug in your tablet via USB while in APX mode (hold power button and volume (+) until the screen turns off).
The driver should try to automatically install off the tablet upon plugging it in to your computer.
If it fails to install, you will have an "Unknown Devices" section in Device Manager.
Right click on Unknown Devices and hit update driver.
Then hit manually install driver. Point the file browser to the root folder of the extracted package that you downloaded.
For clarification: You downloaded the zip in the OP called Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72.zip.
When you extract it, you should get something like Universal Naked Driver 0.72 or something like that.
Point that file browser to the newly extracted folder, NOT the subfolders.
If you point it to the amd64 or the i386 subfolders it will not work. Hope this helps you out!
That is partly true... here's what I did:
1. power button + volume up
2. device manager showed "other devices" - APX

CRAP!!! The main reason I updated this tablet was in the hopes to fix the twitter issue... that is, when trying to post a new tweet, the app crash and restart...
SAME issue!
Any tips on this one would be wonderful.
It's easy.
First root it. Rooting has a few basic common steps. just get the files right.
Then install the rom in recovery!
Voila!

I am essentially trying to do this although I have a C20 so I use SBK2 in Easy Flash. However, after I do my wipes, then go to flash my rom, I get an error message that it can't open the zip file What is strange is that I have done this before and have had KK installed on my tablet.

Unsure what you are referring to?
1) Rooting the TF101
2) Fixing Twitter issue
As you see in the thread, I have successfully installed 4.4.4 KatKiss.

Great pleased you managed to get it working in the end, you can now update TWRP to either the latest official 2.3.2.3 or the unofficial which has been taken over by another member, that's possibly why you ended up with the DATA failing to wipe
Twitter works ok for me, but there are 2 different types of KatKiss, there is the normal one which has a speed increase, and the NonLinaro version which has much better compatibility with apps
Its possible twitter is not liking the Linaro version (Normal one)
Anyway, you are set to flash whichever ROMs you like now you have TWRP, but Id advise updating to 2.3.2.3 to avoid issues, that's the version Ive been running since it was released
Oh and SBK1 and 2 mean, Secure Boot Key, SBK1 was leaked and therefore very easy to flash recovery and other stuff to that required the key, SBK2 did not leak, so devs had to find workarounds in order to flash recovery
Wow Simon.
Already so much.
By the way you sound like a pro already
Now just follow what *detection* says.
That Rom is fast and smooth.

I now want to update again since I have some issue with wifi disconnecting and would like to have original Twitter app working.
So here's a couple of questions:
1. TWRP... before I used EasyFlasher that have TWRP 2.2.1
- I did not find easy flasher with TWRP 2.3.2.3 what do you recommend to use to update TWRP? Link please.
2. You said Twitter work for you and you installed the NonLinaro... right?
- I would be using this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592890
That's good?
Any other tips, new version since you last post?
Thanks,
Simon

Did you reboot fully into KK before trying to get into recovery after flashing 2.3.2.3?
You need flash 2.3.2.3 > reboot fully into KK to complete the install > then reboot into recovery
Also you can try powering off the TF, then hold Vol down and Power until you see the white text at the top of the screen, then release all buttons and quickly tap Vol up to enter recovery

After first attempt, yes I entered KK then did reboot in recovery and did not work.

I started another thread for this, not sure where the best place to discuss this is?
EDIT 2019: rooting with TWRP from 038 read at the bottom of this post
HOW TO.... Stock, Update, custom recovery and root your s60 !!!!
Disclaimer: if you brick your phone, it's your fault, i have tested this way of rooting my s60 now for a several times and it works 100%
SO READ TWICE, CHECK TWICE, BEFORE YOU CLICK ONCE !!!!! i will not take any responsibility !!!
!!! ONCE AGAIN, READ THE WHOLE GUIDE BEFORE YOU START !!!
OK, now we start:
Thanks to everybody who contributed and made the root possible, here in this thread (Cesarq, OpenMinded, Tuschi, BetonJohn, etc.......) the software in the link further down, is the collected data, freely available in the net and linked in the original Thread several times, i have only bundled one package and wrote this, hopefully usefull guide.
in principle do as follows: (I will only explain once how to sideload or load via recovery, afterwards i will only state what kind and what file)
Prerequisites
- switch phone OFF
- download my collection of the essential s60 files : Here is my collection
EDIT 2019: - grap the 035 update here from the Thread: Thanks to tusch00101
i did not find the 038 update as a single zip file to download. if somebody could provide it ?
(there are ALL files included to flash stock, update to .035, flash twrp recovery and root.)
(this is for Win7 x86, you have to check if it works for other versions yourself, sy..)
- install USB drivers
(for recovery and adb !!! There are two different USB drivers needed)
- install "minimal ADB and fastboot"
- copy the two updates (update032.zip & update033.zip) into the folder, where you have installed "minimal ADB and fastboot" (makes live easier later)
- install QPST (the version of QPST is the one from Androidmtk and should be virusfree.)
(The version of QFIL in my collection is the one without reboot, so you have to reset/reboot your phone manually (resetbutton below hatchdoor on your phone) whenever stated in this guide.)
- format micro SD card in fat32 ! and copy SuperSU.zip onto it. Then insert microSD card into your phone.
- switch phone ON
- enable Developer Options, by going into the settings menu and go to "About Device". tip/touch/tap 7x the -build number- field. A message will appear: "You're now developer" (something like this)
- enable USB-debugging. Go again to settings, then "Developer Options" and enable USB-debugging.(flick the switch)
- connect a WORKING USB cable to your phone (Not to your PC atm !!!)
- dial *#06# to see the iMEI('s) of either one or both simslots. dial #02# to check what firmware version you are on
(just for your info: It looks like the "S" in the firmware version (LTE_X.....) indicates, that SingleSim only is activated, while the "D" stands for DualSim activated. my s60 had an "S"... )
(In my phone the second Sim slot (under the microSD card slot), was blocked with a small piece of, simcard shaped, black plastic. With the help of some tweezers the scrap
plastic was gone easily. Anyway --- BE CAREFULL --- when removing it.)
If you are allready on an LTE_D... Firmware version 033 or above (atm only confirmed up to 035) and you want to root with custom recovery, you only need to follow the last step in this guide ("getting twrp and Root") everybody else, continue reading...
getting twrp (for saving your old firmware only)
- power off phone.
- start minimal adb on your PC
- start QFIL (part of QPST) on your PC
- press VOL+ & VOL- simultanousely and connect phone with PC (it will vibrate once, top right LED starts blinking red, screen stays black) (- DOWNLOAD MODE -)
(just in case: to leave Download mode, disconnect phone from PC, press and hold power button for apprx. 15 seconds)
- as soon as you connect your phone to the PC, QFIL should show the Phone/port in the topline allready
(if not, either try to manually select the port, or you probably still have a problem with the USB drivers or the USB cable !)
- QFIL - tick "Flat Build" (top left)
- QFIL - select Programmer, "browse" to the saved location of "update-twrp-recovery-nobootpatch" and select the "prog_emmc.blablabla...mbn" file and doubleclick
- QFIL - "load XML" ,select rawprogramm, doubleclick, select patch0, doubleclick
- QFIL - click on "download"
- if everything was OK up till now, it should start download - BE PATIENT- and read the status window on QFIL, when it shows "finish download"....
- disconnect phone from PC
- press and hold simultanousely POWER and VOL+ (- RECOVERY MODE -) AND...
- ... use a small tool to push the reset button on the phone under the hatch, while still pressing Power and Vol+ !
- the phone should now be in twrp recovery. If so, do a full backup now to your (allready inserted and fat32 formatted) microSD card!!!
when done
- Power off your phone !
flashing stock 31.02
- enter download mode again (Vol+ & Vol-, connect phone to PC.......)
- this time in QFIL, browse in programmer path to "s60_stockFW_31.02" and select the programmer from there
- load XML's (the ones that belong to Stock31.02)
- start download... this will take a while !!!! BE PATIENT !!!!
- when QFIL status window shows finish download, push the reset button on the phone and let it reboot.
(it is normal, that the phone should restart itself 2, maximum 3 times during the first startup, but sometimes it ends up in a bootloop (Cat Logo, reboot, CAT logo, reboot, etc, etc, .......))
(The bootloop mainly happens, if you clear, in twrp recovery, the whole OS, or if you came from another firmware version (LTE_S... -> LTE_D... i.e., but that's no issue either...).
- if it ends up in a bootloop, no worries, just continue ! Believe me, i did this process now several times !
you are back on stock 31.02 !
- Power off your phone again
Updating to 032
- bring up minimal ADB sideload on your PC (start it, if not allready done in previous step (getting twrp)).
- press and hold POWER and VOL+ button on your phone
- when in stock recovery select (with Volume keys) "adb sideload" and click the Powerbutton
- connect your phone to the PC
- on PC, type into the black ADB Terminal window "adb sideload update032.zip" and hit enter
- if correct USB drivers are installed, phone will start downloading the update now.
- when complete, select clear cache, and clear data then reboot your phone.
(again, same as in the step (flashing stock), if bootloop, no worries, just continue, if it boots up, let it boot up and then..)
you're on 032 now
- Power off the phone again
Updating to 033
- do the same steps as described under "Updating to 032" only difference, type in adb window " adb sideload update033.zip"
EDIT2019: - do the same steps for 035 and 038
(After updating to 038, your phone should boot up normally by now. NO MORE BOOTLOOP !)
getting twrp and Root
- this is the same step as above "getting twrp" only difference, this time, no backup needed and...
- when in twrp-recovery, select "install" browse to your micro SD-card, and...
- install SuperSU.zip from SDcard.
- once more, clear cache and data and reboot.
The phone should boot up now, you should be on FW 033, with custom recovery and root !!!
That's all !!!
Oh, one last thing, whoever is having an s60, where only one simslot is working, this guide unlocks the second Simslot as well !!!
Also the problem, some people had, following the other guides (incorrectly) ! (me included) ! , by not using the right QFIL (the one without reboot), in the old Thread, resulting in a
not working WIFI is no issue anymore
EDIT 2019 !!!
Getting TWRP with stock 038 thanks to: CDMCCDMC for the addition !
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77978181&postcount=135
thanks for the awesome guide. works perfectly, but i will say every time I plugged my phone in it recognized it as a new device and had to reinstall drivers.... the first few times i did it i thought QFIL froze so i unplugged to reset, this caused an install failure that could not be rectified. I fixed this by uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers from step one and being more patient.
Dear adtbm,
the firmware updates (both) are extracted... became signature failure.
Please update your very useful package... thx
best regards

Please i cant use my phone it hangs in a bootloop i need the update.zip 32 and 33

If you don't have Wifi after going to 033, you didn't followed the part of "getting twrp" correctly.
"...... - if everything was OK up till now, it should start download - BE PATIENT- and read the status window on QFIL, when it shows "finish download"....
- disconnect phone from PC
- press and hold simultanousely POWER and VOL+ (- RECOVERY MODE -) AND...
- ... use a small tool to push the reset button on the phone under the hatch, while still pressing Power and Vol+ !
- the phone should now be in twrp recovery. ....."
If you let the phone reboot after flashing the recovery, it will overwrite the boot and your wifi is gone !
But nice to hear, that everything is OK now. Do you have problems with 035 ? some people report, that they having issues with the display camera on 035 ...
Sorry for this silly question, but i´ve seen that in other models once you install twrp then you can flash super su, why here you have to downgrade to 0.31 first?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
not sure, if you have read the complete guide, or if you have read through the 28 pages of the original Thread.
I think, it could be possible, (but i did not tested it) to flash the recovery via QFIL directly and then install SuperSU, without going back to 031. But since there are models of the s60 out, where only one Simslot is available (Please read my guide), to get the second slot activated you have to flash an LTE_D... firmware and, thanks to Cesarq, we (only) have atm his 031 firmware available, which is luckywise an LTE_D. firmware !
Like i mentioned in this guide allready, i did not found out the way how to root the s60 (the credit goes to Cesarq) and i also did not find out, how to update to 033 (this credit goes to OpenMinded), i have only collected the software & tools, bundled it and wrote this guide, with the available information written throughout the 28 pages of the original Thread.
So please feel free and test it and write us your result !
ok, just did my s60 last night, everything seemed to go just as described. i just checked and it seems it took the update and the dual sim activation. it didnt take root tho. i tried root checker and titanium and both say no root access. maybe i did the final step wrong? i tried it again with no success. am i supposed to be loading the nobootpatch recovery in qfil as the last step and then install su? thats how i attempted it. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

If you don't have Wifi after going to 033, you didn't followed the part of "getting twrp" correctly.
"...... - if everything was OK up till now, it should start download - BE PATIENT- and read the status window on QFIL, when it shows "finish download"....
- disconnect phone from PC
- press and hold simultanousely POWER and VOL+ (- RECOVERY MODE -) AND...
- ... use a small tool to push the reset button on the phone under the hatch, while still pressing Power and Vol+ !
- the phone should now be in twrp recovery. ....."
If you let the phone reboot after flashing the recovery, it will overwrite the boot and your wifi is gone !
But nice to hear, that everything is OK now. Do you have problems with 035 ? some people report, that they having issues with the display camera on 035 ...

I asume, you have SuperSU copied onto your microSC card ?!
When you have finished flashing the nobootpatch recovery (QFIL shows finish download), you have to disconnect the phone from the PC, push Vol+ and Power and Reset (under the hatch) at the same time.
Otherwise Bootloader gets overwritten, your Wifi is gone, no custom recovery and no root.
If you are not using the version of QFIL from my package, you probably have a version that automatically reboots when download is finished and you're screwed !!!
If you did it correctly your phone should boot into twrp custom recovery and you should be able to install SuperSU from SD.

Yes I did have it copied and installed it. I went back and did it again and hit wipe dalvic cache instead of going back in the recovery menu and wiping cache and data. Up and running 33 rooted, everything seems good so far! Thanks [emoji2]

not sure, if you have read the complete guide, or if you have read through the 28 pages of the original Thread.

I took your advice and rooted without downgrading firmware. My CAT is double SIM from factory and on 0.35 OTA.
I followed your guide but jumped from backup with twrp to install supersu, following all the steps from there.
Until now everything working fine with root.
One more time I can say that people on XDA is the best!

Dear friends,
How can i uninstall google assistant apk?
When i delete it the phone not restart and ended in a bootloop.
When i deactivate it the same bootloop.
very very good
Hello to this wonderful group. I did the rooting and it worked wonders, I was very disappointed with my Cat s60, for not being able to use the second sim and for the poor quality of the camera. After the root it became dualsim and the camera improved a lot. in addition to everything that means to be root. I am very grateful to ADTBM and to all those who made this possible. thanks thanks. regards

Hi Yanardag,
i have the same problem. Unfortunatley Android IS Google . I really don't know how to disable it. Did you try to freeze it with Titanium ?
That's the only thing i could think of. I am annoyed by that Google stuff as well (especially the google assistant....)
This is one of the reasons, why i had to redo my s60 a several times.
So if anybody here finds a way to disable Google assistant, pleasse let us know !!!
@varonv: Nice to hear and thanks for the feedback !
Hi,

Thanks
