[Guide] Multi Boot Note 3 (Updated 24/07/2015)
*** Hi Guys i no longer have a note 3 so i cant do any testing but our team member is here to give support for you all and even im here to give support except testing. please contact @[email protected] and @djnim for support.***
I am using this on SM-N9005 Snapdragon Variant of the Note 3; I believe this will work with other Note 3 Variants as well. Few of them are already tested and you can find them below. Others who have different variants which are not tested can try this and update us, and we will be here to help you out if you are ready to try this out.
@chenxiaolong is the one who made this happen to our beloved Note 3
Main advantage of this is you can try any new rom with out loosing or having any kind of trouble with your existing rom. This mod will not change anything in your primary rom, so any time you can go back to your normal state.

Requirements
* Read the full guide before Starting.
* Backup your phone if you are doing this first time. (Full Nandroid backup recommended for the new comers and it’s also recommended to others who don’t know what they are doing exactly even if they have multi booted several times)
* Rooted Note 3 with custom recovery (preferred TWRP or philz).
* free space in your internal SD (for example a Cm based roms take up to 2.5GB to 3.5GB and a TW roms take up to 5GB or more.)
* If you face any trouble please read the FAQ before doing something or asking for help. And if you want help please provide as much as details(device, roms, etc.) you can.
*
Instruction:
1.Download your desired Rom which you want to use for multi booting and the mods, addons, gapps, Kernel etc for the same. Keep the files in your internal memory.
2. Download the most recent snapshot release of Dual Boot Patcher and install it on your Note 3.
3. Open Dual Boot Patcher and grant SU permission. Then go to ROMS and you will see your Primary rom, press the 3dotmenu key and click "set kernel". If it fail to set kernal please read the FAQ.
4. Then In Dual Boot Patcher go to Patch Zip File and Choose hlte for snapdragon variant and ha3g for Exynos veriant (Samsung Galaxy Note 3) from the drop down menu.
5. In the second drop down menu select "Data Slot".
6. Below that you have to enter the ID of the secondary rom.(Example 1, 2, 3, etc. - it will take it as /data/multiboot/data-slot-1)
7.Now tap on the below button to choose the ROM's, Gapps, Kernel and mods to patch them and make them perfect for Multi booting.
8. Always remember to keep same slot ID for the Gapps, kernels and mods same as the rom. (Example: if you want to flash the gapps/kernel to the data-slot-1 rom then you have to select the same ID that’s 1 or if you want to flash the gapps/kernel to the data-slot-2 rom then you have to select the same ID that’s 2.)
9. When selecting the files except cm rom zip there will be a “preset” drop down menu, from that you have to select according to the file you are going to patch. (Examp: for roms, kernels, mods, addons – custom; for gapps – Google_Apps; for Su zip – other/SuperSu; For xposed-Other/Xposed)
10. Now press the tap to begin patching button to patch the file. And you will get a new patched zip file in the same location.
11. Now Boot into custom recovery and flash the new patched file and reboot.
12. And your device will boot into New Rom.
13.Install the Dual Boot Patcher app and set the kernel for your second ROM as well.
14. To switch between roms
•Open Dual Boot Patcher app/roms and click on primary or secondary rom as you like and reboot.
•Or Use Swap Roms to switch between Roms.
* Important things to keep in mind: while installing a rom or mod with Aroma installer don't reboot directly from the aroma.
You have to always uncheck the last option to reboot in aroma and click finish. So it can finish the final steps for multi booting.
And if you miss that it will only reboot to recovery. To boot back you have to flash your primary rom kernel or re-flash the patched rom.
Never update a secondary rom through OTA Update.
*. For other devices:
1. You have to download and install X-plore File Manager (which I am using) from play store.
2. Open X-plore File Manager from app drawer and navigate to the patched zip file and open it.
3. Now you will see a folder named multiboot inside that you will find info.prop, now open info.prop with the text editor which comes with the x-plore file manager.
• And then find and change mbtool.installer.ignore-codename=false to mbtool.installer.ignore-codename=true
Revert
To revert back or if you face any problem just flash my Multi Boot cleaner.zip which will wipe all the installation files from \system and restore the primary rom kernel.
As a backup keep a copy of your kernel flashable zip file.
FAQ
1. I can't set the primary rom kernel in xyz rom. And I can’t switch to other rom in primary rom.
Ans. Just download the set kernel fix as per your model and flash it in the recovery.
The above fix only work for primary rom. If you have trouble with any other roms just add ro.patcher.device=hlte(for other models add your model instead of hlte) to the bottom of build.prop of that rom and you are good to go.
If you don’t know how to do that just pm me and I will make a flash able zip to add it to your secondary rom.
if the above didnt work Read this post please
2. App sharing?
Ans. Until now no luck. (Still under testing)
3. This rom can’t be patched.
Ans. some roms are not supported its known, if the Dev have time may be he will consider including them.

1. First of all have you grant super user permission for Dual Boot Patcher. If not just reboot and try again.
2. Do you have enough space in your sdcard (internal) for the backup of the kernel.
3. Just check if there is sdcard/multiboot/primary/boot.img is their.
4. Try the 8.0.0.r1119.g9c51715 version of dual boot patcher if the above didn’t help.

Thank you

I have tried the rom but same result as yours. But don’t worry I have an alternative way to set the kernel for your primary rom.
First make folders in your SDCard, “MultiBoot” in it “Primary” it should be like: Sdcard/MultiBoot/Primary
Then extract the boot.img from your rom zip and copy it to Sdcard/MultiBoot/Primary
So the result will be Sdcard/MultiBoot/Primary/boot.img
It’s done.

To make space in your system partition.
1. Delete what ever apps you are not using from system/app and syatem/priv-app (Don’t delete if you don’t know what it is or what your are doing.)
Example: shealth, etc.
2. Move some google apps from /system/app to /data/app to make them user app using root explorer.
Example: maps, gmail, chrome, etc.

To dual boot two TW roms is very hard. Because there is not enough space to fit both system file in your system partition. Other wise you have to deboalt the primary rom and you have to deboalt secondary rom zip before flashing. And by doing so you will lose most of the features of your TW roms.
And if you want to use CM as primary and TW rom as secondary its possible but not recommended. Because you will have trouble with flashing mods etc for your TW rom.
The better option at the moment is to keep the TW rom as Primary and others a secondary.

don't know how it's with this rom, but on stock kitkat (rooted), i was able to edit build.prop file in /system.
added the line ro.sf.lcd_density=380 as the last line under ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES and rebooted to get my preferred resolution.
hi @sachin.r.fulzele, i'm an earlier user of xolo q3000. i happened to get back the device for a few days and i'd like to try out your rom.
please mention md5 checksums for your rom zip and patch zip. the rom zip has the following details:
Code:
anspv5-release-26042015.zip
Owner: muratyavuzakarsu
Size: 392 MB
is this the latest release as you intended? also, what exactly is the patch for? thanks in advance for your response.
@mohan, I am speaking frankly that I don't know, how to generate checksum & what is its purpose.
I've referred the link of original thread by @yavuz21, you can check it for latest version.
Patches are always provided, as you know, to suit our needs.

I've mentioned origional thread link, you can check it, if there is any progress.......
I no longer have this tablet. This is an amazing device, and I enjoyed my time with it. Chances are that the information that are here are not the most updated. You can expect updated information at this thread.
There are a lot of scattered information everywhere about this tablet, so this is just an attempt to put those together in one place. Recently this tablet is gaining a lot of users due to its price and performance, I just hope that it helps the new users getting started. This is not my work, so I don't take any credit. No thanks necessary. Please thank the original contributors.
All the steps mentioned here are individually tested by me and at least worked for my device. However, I cannot guarantee that it will work on yours too, and I am not responsible for any damage to your device due to following or not-following this tutorial.
This thread is made possible due to the contribution of XDA members @Sparkrite, @Old faithful, @lee2006 and others. Special thanks to @clsA for providing the download links. Many thanks to @Tzul as stock firmwares and OTA updates were originally obtained from his work @ android-hilfe.de.
And we can not mention well enough the contributions of @Chainfire for root and @rovo89 for Xposed.
1. ROOT
Root with Kingroothttp://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
(Easy Method) Use this method if you don't want to change to a custom recovery
So far it has been reported to be working on the Kitkat 4.4 rom only. The steps are as easy as it could get. download the Kingroot app, and let it do it's work. You shall be rooted.
Replace Kingroot with SuperSu
Now, giving super user access to your device to any app is no joke. And many of us feel a bit uneasy with the Kingroot app. There are 2 ways to replace Kingroot with SuperSu
(Paid option )Use the Super-Sume Pro app app from the play store.
(Free option) Follow this guide here if you are not afraid of getting your hands dirty with couple lines of codes in terminal emulator. Note that the terminal will show a lot of errors, but it will still get the job done.
Root with Custom Recovery
Follow the steps for installing Custom Recovery in section 3
Reboot into Recovery mode.
Use the 'Install Zip' option in your Custom Recovery to install 'BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip' and you shall be rooted.
2. Install Xposed Framework
Installing xposed requires a rooted device. Root your tablet with one of the above methods.
Kitkat
Download the Xposed Installer apk. Install the apk, you will get a security warning. You need to check app installation from 'Unknown Sources' in Security settings. Once installed go to the xposed app, under 'Framework' click 'Install/Update' You can ignore the red warning. Restart your device after that. Download any modules you like and start customizing your tablet!
Lollipop
Lollipop requires installing Xposed via recovery, so having a custom recovery besides root is also a requirement. Download the latest version of Xposed. Android 5.0.1 =SDK21, and this tablet runs in ARM 64 bit mode. Download xposed-v##-sdk21-arm64.zip, copy it to the tablet, and install it from custom recovery. The first boot afterwards can a long time 5-10 minutes. Also download and install the latest XposedInstaller app (currently XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk ), to manage the modules.
3. Install Custom Recovery
Install USB driver
This one is a tricky process.
Download SP_Drivers and extract the files.
Start Device Manager on the PC
Turn off the tablet and connect it to the PC via USB cable. Device manager will refresh and show MT67xx vcom for a couple seconds only. Quickly right click on it and select install driver manually, navigating to the directory of the SP_Drivers
Disconnect the tablet
Install TWRP Recovery using SP Flash Tool
Download and extract TWRP for Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70.
Download and extract the latest version of SP Flash Tool
Start SP Flash Tool, in Download tab get the scatter file from the recovery zip package. Use the Android4 file for Android 4.4 Kitkat, and the Android5 file for Android 5 Lollipop. Make sure only the recovery is ticked, and on the drop down menu 'download only' is selected. Click on the location column on the right of 'recovery' and browse to the recovery file depending on your android version.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In SP Flash Tool, click Download.
Connect the turned-off tablet to the PC. Recovery will flash in a matter of seconds and you will get a big green OK on the software.
Close SP Flash Tool.
Remove the tablet and make sure you do not start it, but get into recovery instead. Press 'volume up and power' and maintain that for about 10 seconds, past the vibration and the start of splash screen. A dark screen with very small characters will show up with three options: Recovery, Fastboot and Normal. Don't touch anything unless you make sure you understand what the buttons do. Volume up is used to navigate (go to Recovery), volume down activates the selection. DON'T select any other option! The power button has no effect.
TWRP will start.
Note that if you are already rooted, you can flash recovery via Flashify, Rashr, etc. You can also flash via Fastboot.
4. Flash Stock ROM with SP Flash Tool
There could be many reason to go back to all stock. Soft brick, return device to manufacturer for repair, Downgrade or upgrade OS, etc.
Make sure you have the USB driver installed (procedure in the previous section)
Download Stock ROM. Latest Lollipop A10-70F_S000121_151222_ROW or here. Kitkat A10-70F_S000021_150501_ROW_USER. Extract.
Download and extract the latest version of SP Flash Tool
Power off the tablet and run flash_tool.exe in the extracted SP flash tool folder
Click 'Scatter-loading' and chose MT6752_Android_scatter.txt file in the extracted stock rom folder. Make sure on the drop down menu 'download only' is selected.
Click 'download' and then connect the turned off tablet to the computer. The progress bar will show. It takes about 5 mins for the flash. A big green 'OK' button will show the end of the process. Disconnect the tablet and power it on. It may take up to 10 mins for the first boot. If it still not booting force turn off by pressing on the power button and start again.
The tablet should be powered off when connecting it to the computer, for both installing the preloader drivers and for flashing. This one is a very important step, and it won't work with a turned on tablet.
5. Tips
If you are in stock Kitkat, you can reboot to recovery mode by going to the 'system update' app and clicking the rectangular button on the top right corner.
To give sd card write access to any apps... If you are rooted this can be overcome by using apps like SDFix, HandleExternalStorage xposed module, or others.
Strangely there is no option to change Lockscreen wallpaper in the settings menu. This can be done by opening any image with the default Gallery app and going to 'set picture as'....
6. OTA update to latest version of Lollipop
The latest update mostly fixed the wifi issue many people have been struggling with.
Use SP Flash Tool to flash System and Recovery only from Lollipop firmware provided on section 4. Choose recovery and system only to return to stock. From stock recovery choose install update from sdcard and then choose the lenovoota.zip
Link to OTA >> A10-70F_S000120_150907_ROW_TO_A10-70F_S000121_151222_ROW
first bootup takes about 10 min like any system update

I'm going to just put this here, it really doesn't need it's own thread
This is a TWRP Restore of some stuff I put together for my Tablet
You need the latest Lollipop software installed from #4 above (A10-70F_S000121_151222_ROW_clsA) - and you need the latest TWRP from @Tzul as your custom recovery.
How to install:
01. Boot to TWRP.
02. Create a backup on your external SD card. (Backing up "Boot" is more than enough. We only want TWRP to create the needed directories on your SD card.)
03. Download the backup I uploaded here >> nova.xposed.gsam.airdroid.supersu.zip
04. Unzip the downloaded backup.
05. Copy the unzipped backup folder to "TWRP/BACKUPS/Lenovo_Tab_2_A10-70F/"on your SD card.
06. Restore the backup.
07. Boot to system. First boot may take about 3 or 4 min.
Here's whats in the Restore
Nova Launcher (you can choose it on first boot or use the normal launcher, your choice)
Busybox
SuperSU
Xposed + Xprivacy and Gravitybox
Gsam Battery Monitor
Airdroid
ES File explorer
Terminal Emulator
Custom Wallpapers
bloat apps removed (most google stuff left in)
Boot and shutdown animations disabled.
Here's some screen shots - it's nothing too fancy but it should save you some time setting everything up if you need to redo your system.
If you like these Apps buy the pro versions in the Play store
If you want to thank Tzul for his work you can do so here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/donatetome.php?u=5919159
Thanks go to
@Tzul for TWRP
@Hashbang173 for the Xposed
@C3C076 for Gravitybox
@M66B for Xprivacy
and @Chainfire for SuperSU

Thanks a lot again, I shall update the OP with these original links.
Xposed working on Kitkat
Just found out that xposed is working on the stock kitkat rom.
At this point I am not sure which of the modules are working.
I tried few settings in GravityBox, which worked. Some benefits were obvious, like modding the statusbar, and advanced reboot menu.
Also tried 'Minminguard' and 'HandleExternalStorage'... The last one is quite handy as it fixes the sd card write issue in Kitkat.

I tried it on the Lollipop rom too but it got stuck on the bootscreen.

Sweet deals! But you won't believe, how much I got it for.
It was around black friday form Jet.com. They give an special offer to first time buyers, plus there was another discount on my Amex credit card. I got it for 120$ only. Can you believe it!
It's a hell of a device for the price.
Great post suhridkhan, you should ask one of the mods to place it on the first page of the usual forum.
Just one thing, maybe you should mention in Step 3 that the tablet should be powered off when connecting it to the computer, for both installing the preloader drivers and for flashing.
Again thanks for the post.
Great summary! Helps clean everything up for newbies and help them avoid the lengthy learning process we pioneers had to go through to gather all the necessary information

Amazing! In Canada the best deal was 250 loonies before taxes (approximately 160 dollars at the going rate? Or is it 140 now? ) In my case though, I got a 200 loony voucher from a colleague for a professional reference so in the end it only cost me 92 loonies (about $60). Better yet, my 64GB card cost me 37 loonies including taxes (about $26), just needed to fat32format it and add a line to the platform.xml file in system/etc/permissions folder to make it possible to use on KitKat
In case you were interested:(added 2015-12-31)
- using a root explorer, go to system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
- in the file find "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
- under the line "<group gid="sdcard_rw"/> add "<group gid="media_rw"/>
Save and reboot. Remember to make a backup of the original platform.xml in case of problems
the only other thing SDFixr7 does is to revert the permission to stock should you chose to do so (honestly I cannot think that anyone in their right mind would ever want to do so)
I'm off to another endeavour now, to try to install the ICS based Motoblur Launcher with the CirclesWidget3D that I originally got from my wife's old Droid RAZR HD, it was a lot of hacking back then to get to run on my Note 2, but it's beautiful and the launcher is very efficient, I just can't stand the confusing Lenovo Launcher. I give myself until the end of the week to succeed

You are right about the lenovo launcher, it's totally unpleasant to the eyes. I am using nova launcher. Have you found a way to change the lockscreen wallpaer to sth other than the built in ones, all those are really ugly.
I just hope that somebody ports an AOSP rom for this tablet. I am no developer, but given that the source code is available, may be someone with the know how can make an attempt to it.

I simply removed the lockscreen altogether using Smart Launcher... But I'm going to take a look into the system files to see what I can do and get back to you on this.
As for the launcher backgrounds, I am totally in control of them now
There are two things you need to do, Simple Image Wallpaper, it's a live wallpaper, allows you to select two different images one for horizontal and for vertical. Basically I use both so I get the full frame in horizontal and vertical and voilà, perfect backgrounds
Horizontal:
Vertical:
And before you ask... No, this isn't the CirclesWidget3d, not nearly as nice, no 3d, but this version works with any launcher. This happens to be the Smart Launcher with Smart Launcher 2 theme. Good enough for now... Pictures are from my neck of the woods, taken a couple of months ago.

So I looked up the the lockscreen image, the file is system/etc/keyguard_wallpaper.png and is exactly 1800x1800. So make one in that format, make a backup of the original and rename your custom image with that name, reboot and let us know what came of it. Heck, while you're at it why don't you try a transparent .png, who knows, perhaps you'll get your homescreen wallpaper showing through the lockscreen? Nah, it'll probably be a mess, the lockscreen clock will interfere with the one on your homescreen
Disclaimer: remember this is untested... make sure you know how to restore that file from recovery should your custom one prevent normal startup... I didn't test this... you are going to be the guinea pig... Caveat lector! :evil:

First of all you live at a lovely place. The picture is so great. :good:
Smart launcher is a nice touch. But I think I am sticking with nova launcher because of its aosp look. (personal preference I guess)
There is a much simpler solution to changing lockscreen wallpaper, I have been stupid to not see it before. If you open any image with the stock Gallery app, then go 'set picture as', it gives you option for changing both desktop and lockscreen wallpaper.

Hey thanks for the compliments... I use QuickPick and it does as well... But for home screen wallpapers (I don't use a lockscreen, heck, I usually don't even lock the doors to my house) nothing that I've tried so far beats simple image wallpaper

Good guides, suhridkhan!
Some notes:
In section 3. Install Custom Recovery, you wrote "speedboot". That should be fastboot.
In section 4. Flash Stock ROM with SP Flash Tool, I'd explicitly state to use the "Download Only" flash mode. It's the default mode, but some people might be tempted to play with it, and that's bad, as the other two modes (Format All + Download, Firmware Upgrade) will wipe clean the entire flash memory, as far as I know. Including invisible and important partitions like NVRAM. Just take a look at this bad guide (on the official Lenovo forums no less) that uses Format All, and how people who followed it comment that they're getting NVRAM errors (because they lost their WLAN and Bluetooth MAC addresses and config)...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you have to unroot and replace the carliv recovery with the stock one before you can update.

Hi guys I'll share with you how to multiboot roms on Lenovo P2 using an app called DualBoot Patcher.
Currently I'm using 3 roms, they're simultaneously installed on my phone and all I need to switch the rom is a single tap via the app we'll discuss below.
The roms I have installed right now:
-S062_170117_ROW as primary
-RR 5.8.2 as secondary
-S232_170320_ROW as data-slot
As you may already think about it, yes having 3 roms or more installed on your phone is eating your internal storage a bit.
Check the shots attached below for all the storage details for each Rom. I currently have 12GB free on the internal storage.
---
Okay let's start with the tutorial.
Requirements:
-Root
-Unlocked Bootloader
First of all I want to say Big Thanks to the developer of the DualBoot Patcher @chenxiaolong. Feel free to visit the official thread of the app, say/press thanks and if you're good even donate to him.
Also you can thank me for adding our great device Lenovo P2 to the supported devices. I opened pull request on GitHub that is already processed.
I'll start with the steps of my tutorial:
1)
The first thing of course is to download the app from it's official page
As of the time this guide is written make sure to download the build 9.2.0.r8.g4da14ed or newer as the older builds don't support Lenovo P2. Currently only the P2a42 model is supported, if there is interest from a P2c72 owners I'll add a pull request on GitHub.
2)
You have the apk, install it and set the kernel when the app asks you. Good thing is to update the ramdisk of the primary rom, but you still can multiboot even if you didn't. You can force update the ramdisk by hitting the update ramdisk button 3 times. Always reboot after setting kernel or updating the ramdisk.
3)
Now I assume you have the zip file for the other rom. Select "Patch zip file" from the side menu and choose where to install it. You have a choice of:
-Primary Rom Upgrade (not recommended, it will override your primary rom! For security reasons can only be selected from a rom different from primary.)
-Secondary (I recommend this if you wish to use only 2 Roms, the rom will be installed on the same partition as the primary rom, it won't affect the internal storage. Only the data will be on internal. The system partition of P2 is 3.87GB and you can put 2 roms there easily.)
-Multi-slot (not recommended, suitable for phones with large cache partitions, 1.5-2G)
-Data-slot (this will affect your internal storage, system and data on internal, reliable option if you use 3 or more roms.
-Extsd-slot ( the rom will be installed on your extsd card! Yeah you hear me, an awesome feature, but unfortunately kind of unstable, you have issues here and there and also you have slightly decreased performance as you're running the rom from your sdcard which is several times slower than the internal storage unless you're running one of the most expensive extsd cards.
Select secondary or data slot, choose a save path and patch the rom.
4)
Install the rom. Easy as it sounds. Press the pink button in bottom right, press it once again and select the rom you patched in the previous step. As you can see you can even restore a backup made with the app. It's not for restoring a twrp backup. You can backup roms within the DualBoot Patcher. Also you can flash roms patched with this app in twrp. Choose where to install it or leave it as it is and press the ✓ button in up right. The rom will be flashed.
Important! Don't switch to another app or do anything else when the rom is being installed, otherwise the patcher will crash! 1-2 minutes and you're done, not much of a waiting.
5)
Hey you made it. You now have 2 roms simultaneously installed on your phone! When you install a new rom the patcher will automatically switch to it. That doesn't mean it will auto reboot to the new rom, it will just switch to it in the Roms list, you can always switch to the primary or other rom again. I think that's pretty much about it guys. Now just switch to the new rom and select reboot from the side menu of the patcher, it will reboot to the new rom. You can repeat the procedure as many times as you want.
My record is 8 Roms, that was in the past with other phone. Because of this crazy number I'm a proud winner of the gold medal for the "Most number of multiboot roms installed lmao.
If you have questions feel free the write below and as always hit thanks if I was helpful. See ya. :highfive:
Update: Starting from build 9.2.0.r54.g8b79a2b the patcher now supports the P2c72 too!
so my P2c72 is on the way, you think it's not supported? Isn't everything the same except for the internal space? I was planning to flash the official P2a42 ROM anyways.
Thoughts?

I don't think, I'm sure it's not supported because I put the codenames on github and P2c72 is not in the list. No problem if you want to multiboot I'll add it in no time. You can flash all the roms available here for p2a42 on your P2c72 just fine by removing the first lines "assert get prop" in the updater-script. You can flash these roms the usual way via twrp. But if you use the DualBoot Patcher as for now it won't recognize the P2c72.

Cheers! My phone is on the way from china. Might be another week or so Right now just browsing everything that we have here.
Thanks for this. After so many ROMS ported recently, this would really help me out with having one stable daily driver and others to try to. Not an android developer but I'd like to try my hands as well finally to make a ROM and maybe look into the two bugs that are persistent across all ROMS. Let's see. I've just developed apps for now.
Anyways, thanks, this is indeed good stuff.
Yes, I love this app. It's the future of Rom's flashing, just switching between Roms like a boss. Btw congrats you bought the P2c72, it's 64gb right?

thanks, waiting for the bootloader to get done with its 15 days. All ready to flash everything!
Although can you tell me how it works? Like my phone is flashed with the global p2a42 ROM but it is p2c72. Should I change the name in build.prop?

Sorry brother didn't go through as I can't actually do it. Still waiting on my bootloader :/
So anyone had any success with p2c72?
I tried, but it fails. Doesn't throw any error but gets stuck in the boot and eventually reboots in twrp.
My only doubt is how does it know that the phone is p2c72? The build.prop says p2a42 so does the app thinks that its p2142 and wrongly patch it?
Is this just for experimenting or is there any advantage using 2 os same time? Isn't this can be cause a heat problem because of the more cpu/ram usage?
Can't find supported version of app! Can anyone here help me out wuth version?

Hello. I got my new LeTv phone about six months ago. Model x600 of course. When I saw that I had to upload a system with Polish language, I took care of the BB72 system. All is ok, but I do not like the EUI overlay. I will now describe all the errors that I encountered with this phone and how to fix them :fingers-crossed:
·Invalid IMEI·
Invalid IMEI this is the worst thing that I could meet. With the problem, measure up to now. This is also related to the NVRam problem. This problem is removed by IMEI and does not read the card. The phone is useless, but it can be fixed. However, after each subsequent change of the system for a new one, we will have to do the same thing again.
How to FIX?
1. Download ToolHero app and install (Google play will recognize this as a virus)
/Link\ https://m.apkpure.com/toolhero/com.mobileuncle.toolhero
2. We start and go to the tab · IMEI · and · IMEI RESCUE ·
3. Click ·START RESCUE·
4. Reset phone
·Brick·
I will not be explaining what brick is because everyone knows it. However, I know how to fix it. There are several ways to do this
-1- Find firmware scatter
http://www.androidbrick.com/download/letv-x600-unbrick-rom-scatter-file-sp-flash-tool-mtk-drivers/
SpFlashTool
https://spflashtool.com
Instruction
https://youtu.be/hRRv_jDIwGk
This is for LeTv 1S, but we do exactly the same as it is shown with our files
·AOSP·
Aosp is my favorite system for this phone, but I had no idea why KernelAuditore and AccuBattery showed me the battery capacity of only 1000mAh. The battery has disappeared and you will not do anything about it
However, if it does not bother you, I give a link to it and to TWRP created by BB72
-AOSP-
https://www.google.pl/amp/s/forum.x...rom-letv-x600-ultimate-aosp-rom-t3217135/amp/
-TWRP-
https://mega.nz/#!ZsgXACoY!Wuf44tHaF57bx-23YbfFL-sfV2jQk38rvgjfo16Nd_A
·ROM from LeTv 1S·
One of the XDA users has provided us with 5 ROMs transferred from LeTv 1s. These are CM, AIPS, LIOS, RR, MAOS. Unfortunately, when I installed them, it was crashing just like the BB72
-FIX-
1. Go to TWRP
2. Go to MOUNT
3. UNMOUNT ALL
4. And now you can flash (I don't testing on BB72 rom)
/LINK ROM\ https://www.google.pl/amp/s/forum.x...l/rom-letv-x600-cm13-based-roms-t3589050/amp/
If I learn something more, I will definitely update this Post so that you can fix your mistakes. Report them in the comments and I will look for how to fix them
-FIX ERROR 7-
1. Download on your devices TWRP BB72 (POINT AOSP, WATCH UP)
2. Go to TWRP
3. Flash TWRP BB72
4. Restart recovery
5. Go to mount
6. Unmount all
7. Go to wipe
8. Wipe cache, devil, system and data
9. Flash system
Enjoy
·NVRam·
-FIX-
1. Root phone
·Flash supersu zip
https://www.google.pl/amp/s/forum.x...2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703/amp/
2. Download ES EXPLORER from Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
3. Turn on ROOT EXPLORER
4. Go to "/"data"nvram"APCFG"APRDEB"
5. Download and replace old WIFI and WIFI_CUSTOM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2707382&d=1398400409

Exactly the same problem I had with my LeTv. Today I fixed it and I am flying on LineageOS. I would recommend. However, TWRP can also be used. I recommend you to upload this TWRP what I have. I gave them in point AOSP.
1. Download TWRP BB72 on your phone
2. Go to recovery
3. Flash TWRP BB72
4. Restart Revovery
5. Go to Mount
6. Unmount all
7. Clear system, data, cache, devile cache
8. Flash rom
Good Luck (first boot is long)
It's really nice to see something fresh on xda in 2018 for our beloved LeTV X600!
Many thanks for this thread, Nexu4K, and for me especially the nvram fix pointer. It solved my otherwise lingering problem with that fake nvram WiFi entry.
In the meantime, my own daily driver for a while now has been the LineageOS 13 ROM. Other than the "Double-tap-to-wake-screen" feature not working on it, everything else I've tried works, and the ROM for me is smooth as silk.
My wish for this device, World, is to have a smooth LineageOS 14 ROM and beyond or similar on it already...

Thank you for such a nice comment. I noticed that people bypass LeTv x600 so I decided to do something that will help everyone in one thread. On the other hand, on the double tap, I do not know what to do because it does not work at all. Roms do not count AOSP have been transferred from LeTv 1s and that option works there. Apparently the LeTv x600 does not have AMOLED screen allowing such tricks because no applications even support it. I SEARCH
In the options I also found an google OEM blockade known as FRP. However, I do not know if it works exactly, / and I do not want to lose a phone right now so I leave it to check
Nice. I will need to try this out. Any suggestion on how to root? I looked at some threads but all the links are dead.banyone has new links?
You don't need to do all this. Simply put the phone to default situation with stock recovery and stock rom formatting all partition different from system
Hi guys... Can anyone help me
My phone does not switch on anymore
I wanted a clean install so i flashed this mod 28S in my X600
Should be official one, after having a not official one. BB72

After installation done successfully.
with TWRP 3.0 at the end of the page was
Wipe cache e dalvik (what i pressed)
i went back then
Reboot
System
and was last time i saw my phone switch on
It switched off and didn't awake anymore
Neither in Recovery mode.
Nothing
If i charge it, the charging light gets on
It had 52% batter at the end of installation
the computer detects a device but not the phone or memory. just the sound of something connecte.
Can someone help me
Thanks
Did you solve your problem? You may need to flash rom with so flash tool.
Hello,
I've bricked my X600 (32 GB) by flashing unbrick ROM from
http://www.androidbrick.com/download/letv-x600-unbrick-rom-scatter-file-sp-flash-tool-mtk-drivers/
Now phone can only be flashed with SP Flash Tool. But when I flash with the unbrick ROM at above, nothing will be changed.
I also have another X600 32GB version fully working. If I backup all partitions of second X600's SD card and restore them bricked X600 with SP Flash Tool, can I unbrick the bricked X600?
