Hello.
I have a somewhat unique situation.
I have more than one unit of identical, generic (not a standard brand) tablets. They are all rooted, so I do have root access. However, they don't have a custom recovery - there isn't one readily available (I have looked far and wide).
One of the tablets has the OS (with all the Google -and other- apps) I want to replicate on to the others (this is admittedly an oldish Kitkat OS, but while I have one of them running Lollipop successfully, I am unable to get Gapps to run with Lollipop, hence the reversion to Kitkat). I only want to replicate the OS, there are no other complications such as IMEI, etc that I need to replicate.
What do I need to accomplish this? I am comfortable flashing, rooting, etc, but I am by no stretch of imagination an Android developer, so creating a custom recovery is beyond me.
What I have tried so far:
0. The tablets are already rooted. Used Kingo to ensure root access to apps if/when necessary.
1. ADB/Fastboot flashes. This is by far most successful, although I don't have a system.img/recovery.img of the 'good' tablet. The others (including Jellybean, Kitkat and Lollipop) that I do have don't have Gapps on the OS and I am unable to install them through ADB (or native tablet-based installation) with the apks. (Google play services error).
2. dd-ing the images from the 'good' tablet to the bad ones (soft bricked, had to reflash with working images in 1. to get it back up again). (dd if=<> of=<>)
3. Taking Online-Nandroid backups, but unable to flash this image through the Nandroid Manager (and can't do it through recovery since lacking a custom recovery). I can't flash this through ADB since it isn't an system.img/recovery.img type backup.
Given this background, what I need to do is create boot.img, system.img, recovery.img, cache.img, persist.img, userdata.img from the 'good' tablet and flash these to the 'bad' ones. I have searched and searched - both on XDA and over Google at large. But I haven't found an answer to this specific issue of replicating a tablet entirely through ADB. The ones I have found (dd-method) didn't work.
Here's the Flashing batch file I've been using, that I know brings up one of these tablets. I assume I can continue to use the 'modem and bootloaders' that I currently have, although I would prefer to extract them from the 'good' tablet just to be sure.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Code:
adb root
adb wait-for-device reboot bootloader
sleep 5
:: erase all the partitions
fastboot erase modem
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot -w
:: flash the modem and bootloaders
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
echo Flashed the bootloaders!
:: reboot the target
fastboot reboot
sleep 1
:: flash the linux images
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
echo Done flashing the images, rebooting the target!
fastboot reboot
My Z3C has root and unlocked bootloader on Android 4.4.4. Trying to get custom recovery nothing works. When I flash recovery with fastboot, sending and writing is okay but booting into recovery only leads to stock recovery. I have tried different custom recoveries using fastboot and TWRP app but the outcome is the same. When flashing still another it failed because ”size too large”. I have tried:
1. Factory reset – no effect.
2. Using Xperia Companion to repair. When I tried to relock the bootloader it didn´t work: after 60 minutes I got ”Too many links”.
3. Flashing 23.0.A.2.93 via FlashTool. ”Preparing files for flashing. ERROR – null. Cannot open bundle. Flash operation canceled”.
4. Getting a new kernel via NUT´s Kernel Builder. ”Unpacking the uploaded kernel… Copying base packages...” After 30 minutes still nothing more.
To solve this problem I am planing to format the partition for recovery but can´t find it.
Adb shell and ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name results in:
DDR p17
FOTAKernel p16
LTALabel p18
TA p1
aboot p5
alt_aboot p11
alt_db1 p10
alt_rpm p12
alt_s1sbl p9
alt_sbl1 p8
alt_tz p13
apps_logg p22
boot p14
cache p24

modemst1 p19
modemst2 p20
ramdump p15
rpm p6
s1sbl p3
sbl1 p2
system p23
tz p7
userdata p25
But where is RECOVERY hiding??? Is my idea right or can anyone come up with something better?

Wrong place.
Try here.
I thought I would post this here as I thought that several LG devices do not have .kdz files available, making it very problematic to restore the firmware to a stock state.
I originally encountered this problem with the LG Aristo 2 plus, a mid-range T-Mobile phone.
Apparently, T-Mobile does not want any .kdz files available, so I designed a flash utility capable of flashing an image just like LGUP does. Originally, I was writing multiple custom scripts to do different things to the phone.
Then I decided, why not write one script and have it interpret different "flash profiles" to do just about anything you might want to do to the phone. What I arrived at seems generic enough that I am sure it could be used on any LG phone and probably even non-LG phones.
My utility does require root to be able to flash partitions, but fortunately LG has enabled bootloader unlocking on the cv1 series of devices (Aristo 2, Aristo 2 plus, K8+), so root is easily obtainable.
The source images for the stock device can be easily obtained in either of 2 ways:
1. Running a firmware backup using the NoKDZ utility itself.
or
2. Running LGUP in developer mode and selecting the DUMP option. This will provide images of any partition even w/o root.
Details on installing LGUP developer mode are here:
Install LGUP Dual Mode(Dev/User) on your Windows PC
Here are some example "flash profiles":
Code:
@ Aristo 2 plus root suite
% Flashes Magisk patched boot image and TWRP recovery all other partitions are stock Aristo 2 plus
M LG
$ Aristo 2 plus
# LM-X212TA
* cv1
< boot recovery
+ TWRP.img recovery
+ RB_M17.1_EVD_A2P.img boot
+ miscnull.img misc
+ fotanull.img fota

= This utility will flash your phone to stock except for boot and recovery
= This is firmware version X212TA-10j, Android 7.1.2, the current release as I type this (10/27/2018).
= A backup of your current boot and recovery will be saved prior to any partitions being flashed
= TWRP will then be flashed to recovery and a patched boot image will be flashed to boot.
= The boot image is patched for systemless root by Magisk. It has also been patched to

= The firmware images included with this install package are for the LG Aristo 2 plus device
= and should only be used on an Aristo 2 plus or a variant using identical hardware such as the Aristo 2 or K8 plus.
= Note that using this utility on an Aristo 2 or K8 plus will effectively change the device into an Aristo 2 plus
= By typing a y at the next prompt, you accept full responsibility for anything that may happen to your device.
? Press Y to accept and flash or any other key to abort.
Code:
@ cv1 wipe misc and fota
% Nulls out misc and fota partitions possibly fixing TWRP boot loop
M LG
$ Any cv1 device
# Various
* cv1
+ miscnull.img misc
+ fotanull.img fota

= If your phone boots only into TWRP, this may remedy the problem.
= By typing a y at the next prompt, you accept full responsibility for anything that may happen to your device.
? Press Y to accept and flash or any other key to abort.
As you can see, the flash profiles are relatively short and powerful and do not require any real coding skill.
I will post more details soon, in the mean time you can see some practical application of NoKDZ here:
Restore some or all of your rooted LG Aristo 2 plus partitions to stock 10j firmware w/o LGUP
I was running LineageOS 16, the unit went into a bootloop while I was restoring the call and sms history to update it from my main phone. It is something I have been doing weekly for a year now.
I can boot into 'fastboot mode' but not 'recovery mode'.
In fastboot it is recognised by the comand
Code:
fastboot devices -l
. Typing
Code:
fastboot boot /<path_to_file>/twrp-3.3.1-0-bacon.img
puts it back into the bootloop, as does the command
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
.
What can I try next to recover the unit?
Are you hesitant in flashing TWRP instead? Also, use the K-releases of TWRP (see the guide in my signature). They work better opposed to the official releases.

I was hoping to recover the unit rather than avoiding re-flashing it.
Is the operating system and all the data lost?
If that is what has happened then I will rebuild, trying the version of TWRP you suggested.
Regards.

Perhaps the NAND memory sector was damaged, which was very important to boot. It is possible because the memory is overwritten all the time.
Read the entire story of another user who had a similar system loss problem.
The best TWTP was made by The Muppets
twrp-3.2.3-20190125-bacon.img
It is based on a toybox, and not like other TWRP in which there is a busybox. Toybox contains more repair tools and is therefore better than busybox.
have tried to recover using "cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon-signed-fastboot"
but I get an error when I try the command:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
error: cannot load 'NON-HLOS.bin'
I am now struggling to find any guides that can help me.
(Most of the guides I have read state "connect phone and boot into fastboot mode" but my unit will not boot to fastboot mode when it is connected.)
I have tried to restore the unit twice using
cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
First using the all in one tool on a windows 8.1 box, then using these commands on a linux box:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
fastboot flash oppostanvbk static_nvbk.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata_64G.img
The phone is still stuck either in a bootloop, or in fastboot mode.
What can I try now?

Strange it wouldn't work for me my bootloader plus my device have been carrier unlocked for almost two years and I'm converted to the international variant as well I've never had a problem with flashing I guess it's not for me I'll probably convert back to TMobile just to test there update

If you have converted to international for all intents and purposes you now have a GSM1917 international. You can install Derpfest and all the other "regular roms". If you do the "manual method" where you flash each partition you should be good to go.

This is a stock firmware package. Also, it is NOT a TRWP flashable zip. I can make one of those if twrp actually works now.

Would it be possible for you to link me to the source of that TWRP build? I would like to get it on my phone.
Also, that would allow me to build a flashable zip of this firmware.

I found nebrassy's twrp image, but it still does not support decryption.
Also, when I booted to it, it messed up my entire system. The phone was no longer able to boot to android and when I reflashed my boot image it started crashing on boot.
I am looking into how to get this working properly.

If you didn't find the post where he specifically says "here is the fbev2 version" then you didn't install the right one. He has SEVERAL versions of twrp.

See previous file link since the -3 in it means you might have an older version.

Both Derpfest and Yaap work well with fbev2 and are Android 11 based on AOSP. I'm sorry that happened to you. In future you should use "Fastboot BOOT twrp.img" to boot recovery without replacing the existing recovery...then if it didn't work all you'd need to do if force the phone to power off via holding down vol up and power for several seconds. Still not sure how you soft bricked because I tried installing it in recovery on a non compatible rom and all it did was startup and show available storage as 0. It showed no files...once i upgraded the rom then it worked fine.
If you pay attention to with slot you are booting to and flashing to ,it will help out slot. This will always leave you a option to repair. By just switching to the opposite slot to boot to recovery. If you don't know the command then you should really learn fastboot --help. It's all the same as Python.
Hi, do you have the 11.0.1.3 update as well ? I can't install it through OTA, installation keeps failing for whatever reason...

I have the extracted payload, but im not sure if it's actually usable on the GM1915. I can upload it if you need it, but there are several partitions you cant flash and the system image is not in the proper sparse format.
