Sorted it now
If stuck at bootscreen turn off device, then hold power button and volume up to enter standard android recovery mode, then select clear dalvic and clear cache, reboot and that sorted it
i discovered that i can enter cwm recovery
But i made a full wipe, it still doesn't help.
Do i need to flash in offical rom?? Where can i find hk's rom??
Thx and please help

If you still have CWM recovery, then your attempt to ODIN the stock ROM did not work.
What version CWM do you have?
Find the stock ROMs here, but make sure your model is p3100 not P3113 or similar.

I didn't use ODIN to recover. I just had a full wipe but it doesn't work.
I am having CWM on V6.0.1.0
Is the following process correct?
Open Odin-> Tablet in download mode-> Connect-> Choose the downloaded zip in PDA column
THX !!!

you can;'t use a zip file in odin
you have to extract the contents and point to the .tar.md5 file

Thanks for the news, we've been waiting for this! However, I've a question. I've installed another recovery that works with the phone and a bit easier to install and works both on 350 and 838. Here's the link:

Should I switch over to this since for some reasons I'm not able to activate Xposed after flashing through recovery.

If you read the Xposed thread you will see many discussion about this. Apparently you need the app for Xposed user interface and also need to add a module and then reboot.

I do not wish to overahadow this thread with another issue. Though, for the sake of information:
1. Uncompress the file and change the name of the folder in which you have the recovery files to anything you like.
2. Move that folder to your desktop
3. Now on your phone, enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources.
4. Connect your device to computer and run the .bat file in the extracted folder on your computer.
5. Press any key when prompted. The phone will reboot into recovery if successful.
6. You Now have CWM based Recovery on phone.
First two steps aren't necessary, but the folder contains special characters that may interfere with ADB. At least it happened in my case, thus the precaution.

Johnny, I've tried every possible combination to no avail. The bridge is installed but not activated. It simply refuses to work with or without modules, or no matter how many times I flash before or after installing the Xposed interface apk.
Any suggestion would be great!
@glasseffects will try this now. Thanks for your help.
Changing folders name was indeed essential . I changed folder names and voila. Thanks for guidance

Not meaning to sound rude but that is incorrect - there is a way to flash recovery once you have Lollipop using adb. see Post #2 in this thread.

Hello all,
I have been going slightly mad today trying to get my mate 7 2GB back from CWM to stock recovery. The main problem is that I do not have a stock recovery image. But after being shown where to find one, I noticed that I could not get it successfully flashed either.
Since I do not really know how to do this, I used flashify, but that did not work and either returned me to the CWM or sent me to rescue.
Can someone help me to a) get a stock recovery image for the Mate 7 version MT7-L09 and b) show me how to properly flash it?
Find stock recovery is easy.. only a question why flashify don't work for you? It work fine for me... your device is rooted?

A way to find the stock recovery is : download the whole B137SP03 Rom from the Huawei site , and use a tool called "Firmware unpacker for Huawei" whit this tool you can extract the recovery.img from the Rom and try to flash it using flashify

Ok, I couldnt access your firmware unpacker, but I did manage to use the tool you suggested.
I have a different recovery screen, but is this the right one? It has EMUI large in centre screen and the options reboot system now, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
If this is the correct one, and I am already on the D137SP03 ROM, I should be able to locally update right?
I tried this, and got a lot further this time, but my phone gave an error message during the update. Do I need to flash the original B137SP03 rom again, even though I am already on it?
I think you maybe can flash using adb commands and also you need adb drivers working

Can someone please help me or show me a step by step?
I did the root before with no problem but cant figure out how to do it again or upgrade.
Maybe this will help, i have odin 3 open but cant seem to find the file or folder i need to flash MOAR 7.

Thanks for all the help i got it done. The 1 thing i did notices is when you need to place the file on your phone just do it as a full zip file not the extracted folder.
I am not responsible if you don't know
what you are getting into and end up messing up your phone
In order to root K6 Note you need to do the following,
1. Unlock boot loader. how to do that follow here >>
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/21685-lenovo-vibe-k6-note-разблокировка-bootloader
( It will Wipe all Data)
2. Install Twrp from here>>
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/21687-lenovo-vibe-k6-note-rasshirennoe-rekaveri-twrp-by-sevenmaxs/
3. Modify boot image and flash modified boot image with Carliv Image Kitchen from here >>
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/tool-cika-carliv-image-kitchen-android-t3013658
4. Changing Values in boot.img
Unpack the boot image using the above tool, once unpacked go the unpack folder then into ramdisk folder and edit the default.prop using notepad++ or wordpad
Change the value of the following lines
1. ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0
2. security.pref_harden= 1 to security.pref_harden= 0
(Change only 1 to 0 nothing else & do not forget to save the file )
3.Once done repack the boot image using the above tool.
5 .Flash the modified boot.image through fastboot, how to flash through fastboot refer here>>
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
6. Reboot into recovery and flash supersu from here>>

The supersu installation should be successful now. reboot and you will see supersu app in the app drawer. Cheers :good::good::good::good:
(P.S I have attached the modified boot image for firmware k53_s123_170216_ROW, so no need to modify the boot image if you are on this firmware.)

- UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.78-20160905010000.zip (the one you mention)
- SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip
- Magisk-v12.0.zip
But they all fail unfortunately, same error message as before flashing your boot.img :
Magisk12 error :
"Unable to unpack boot.img"
SuperSU error :
"-Extracting ramdisk
--- Failure, aborting"
My model is K53a48

ok, I updated to TWRP-3.1.0.1_K53a48_by_SevenMaxs.7z and I was able to flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip without errors. All booted up and SuperSU in the app drawer and rooted, thanks for the tips, man !
A few more questions if I may :
- is there a stock recovery to put back the K6 Note in factory mode ?
- how does one go about getting the boot.img out of a device for patching ?
If will not modify the boot.img what will gonna happen?
Thanks to this furom....Really help for me

Sounds interesting thanks as I keep getting errors trying to flash SuperSU or Magisk.
I'm on firmware k53_s123_170216_ROW so I will be able to use your boot.img but how would one go about getting the boot.img to modify ? The Nandroid backup is in the boot.emmc.win format and the whole partition I suppose ?

SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip

Yeah I can't flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip
In old twrp...SuperSu App never apper in my home drawer...

Do you have a custom kernel?
Why don't you want to use the patched boot.img ?
You tried with the new TWRP-3.1.0.1 and it doesn't work ?

You cannot flash supersu without the modified boot image.
You need to flash the recovery and modified boot image to successfully flash supersu.

To receive OTA's you need to be on stock recovery, and stock boot image without any modification to the system partition.
Can the stock recovery be downloaded anywhere ? Thanks !

as for custom roms i dont think thats gonna happen anytime soon, and there is nothing like official custom recovery, there is only custom recovery like TWRP or CMW.
Hi there, mate. If I do this process, will I be able to remove TWRP if needed (for updating reasons), if so, what would the process be?

So you can't reflash the original recovery ? So that means no more OTA updates, but would it still work with an official update that was downloaded, assuming one becomes available ? Thanks !

I was able to unlock bootloader, installed twrp and root according to your guide
and
also successfully returned to original stock 6.0 rom, stock recovery according to androidmtk's Lenovo_K53_USR_S107_1609131839_Q00380_ROW firmware.
This is a new toy for me now. Many thanks...:laugh:
Can you explain how you went back to stock?

Hi
Device cant update via ota. I dont really know K53_USR_S107_1609131839_Q00380_ROW firmware is last for some region or not. So Im trying to update to stock K53_S123_170216_ROW firmware. After testing and solving ota I will write all steps.
ok, thanks, I suppose it need to be downloaded first somewhere ?
