I am going to write you some simple steps to install CWM 6.0.3.4 / TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery on your Lenovo A850.
I will be very detailed, advanced users should skip the boring stuff
This guide was writed based on this thread. A similar guide can be found at this thread. Look there for more info.
You will need:
- Rooted Lenovo A850 (simple guide here, not tested)
- Mobileuncle MTK Tools (GooglePlay)
- Recovery Image for A850 (CWM or TWRP)
BEFORE GOING ON, MIND THAT I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF ANYTHING HAPPENS ON YOUR PHONE.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
INSTUCTIONS:
1. Download the recovery image:
First of all we need to find out what firmware version our phone has (ROW or CN).
I can see mine looking the Baseband version (located at Settings->About phone->Version Infos->Baseband version) which is "A850.ROW.v18", so i have a ROW firmware installed. I suppose it will say something like "A850.CN.vXX" if you have a CN filmware.
If you don't know which version you own, try one. If it is the wrong version, your phone will just not boot into the recovery. Reboot the phone and install an other version.
Now we can download the right recovery image version.
- For ROW firmware download this (Mirror 1 from source thread).
(This version of CWM never worked for me, scroll down at bugs)
- For CN firmware download this (Mirror 1 from source thread).
(Downloads include both CWM and TWRP recoveries)
After downloading, extract the content (use 7zip program). You will see 3 files, we will not need the "MT6582_Android_scatter.txt" file. You can delete it or keep it if you want to flash roms in the future.
2. Move the revovery image in you SD card:
Connect your phone on your PC and mount the SD card. Now move the recovery image you want in you phone's SD card:
- For TWRP is the "recovery_TWRP_2.5.0.0.img" file
- For CWM is the "recovery_z_CWM_v6.0.3.4.img" file
(You can delete the other one after that)
When the move finishes, disconnect the phone.
3. Install Mobileuncle MTK Tools:
Open GooglePlay on your phone, search for "Mobileuncle" and install Mobileuncle MTK Tools.
4. Install recovery: (IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING DO NOT PROCEED)
Open Mobileuncle MTK Tools. (You will be asked to give root permition to the app, select always yes)
Click on "Recovery Update" and the app will find the recovery image in your SD card. (in the first line, do not click any other recovery)
Click on the recovery image you selected (recovery_TWRP_2.5.0.0.img or recovery_z_CWM_v6.0.3.4.img), click OK to install recovery... wait some seconds, and then click OK to reboot into recovery.
Done! You are in the recovery
(If the phone reboots and then shutdown, the recovery.img didn't work. Try an other version.)
How to get into recovery: (2 simple ways)
- Power of your phone. Wait some second. Press the power button and bot h volume keys and not let them go until the logo appears (the phone will also vibrate). It takes up to 7 seconds to open, keep pressing the buttons until the vibration.
- With Mobileuncle MTK Tools, open it and click on "Into Recovery Mode".
Keys:
- CWM: Use volume keys and the power button to move around
- TWRP: Touch the screen, swipe etc.

Bugs:
- I got an error will trying to backup (CWM ROW version), "can't mount data" . If you face this problem, better install this CWM version. It worked for me

I do not want to mirror the files since they are not my work. The links work fine, try again please
If you can't, try this file (ROW version ONLY). It is a different version, i have tested it, this is the version i am currently using. I do not remember who made it but his name is written in the recovery. Use at your own risk! I take no responsibility!

What will possibly happen when something goes wrong about installing cwm on my phone?.. will this get rid of my chinese stock recovery?... thanks again...

Yes it should get rid of the chinese recovery.
If something goes wrong you will probably have to install a new recovery again, nothing special, but when you mess with your phone i do not know what you may click on. I do not know how experienced each user is, somebody can delete the whole rom of his phone clicking a wrong button... and i do not want him to come back and say "you did that".

thanks sir.. i've followed all your instructions.. i have installed TWRP on my a850 successfully... However the CWM does not work... CWM was the first recovery i tried because im much familiar with it but when i enter recovery mode, TWRP is the one installed... But still, i got a new recovery which i understand... Thank you very much sir and more power to you... If you have other mods for lenovo a850, can you please share it here... Thanks Again...

Thanks for your Tutorial, I have replaced stock recovery with TWRP successfully.
Do you have any custome ROM that can be flashed into this Lenovo A850 by using TWRP ?
I used TWRP to flash the ROM from this site xiaomi.eu/community/threads/4-2-14.23544/ , but failed (stuck at Lenovo logo at boot).

Even though i use CWM, the bootlogo stuck for me was not caused by the recovery.
I had the same problem. You must first install the s121 rom.
WARNING after the install you will not be able to get back just with a CWM, TWRP restore. (i believe you will have to flash the stock rom again to do so)
If you want to proceed, follow this video.
(when you click Firmware Update, wait 2-3 seconds and connect your phone WITH battery closed, that is what i couldn't do)

hi, what is my version ?
thx

Just installed the CWM finally, yup it is in Eng and the most important part is wiping out the chinese language. thanks

I have to agree, sending to recovery terminal by using the hardware key power button + vol up/down key is just too difficult to do so, most of the time sent me to meta or factory mode. Mobileuncle tool works but what I am most preferred by using the button in case the ROM inaccessible and I am unable to reach mobileuncle to do the restoration.

Hello.
I ran along the different steps, with no identified issue until step 8, starting from a towelroot-rooted 4.3 (MK9) version.
I could flash both kernel and modem referred in step 3. Before flashing lollipop rom I have no longer WiFi, I assume it is normal.
I use only internal sdcard.
My issue is that, running flashfire, after configuring as in step 8, phone is rebooting, entering recovery mode and then stops inside recovery mode menu. It tried to start sthg, then ended up rapidly with a "no command" error.
Then, after reboot, it appears new ROM has not been flashed
Any idea of what prevents flashfire from working completely ? I checked and redid the different steps, without seeing any issue.
I use flashfire (pseudopro v0.26) I could get through 'tester link' and ticked 'freeload' option.
Thank you in advance

Did you flashed lollipop bootloader and modem? What step 8? Try with flashfire v0.27

Yes i did flash both boot loader and modem given in links post#1.
The step 8 : choose flash and wait everything to be done automatically.
I'll try to install v0.27, problem is that I need to find a SIM card for this phone (no wifi with this kernel/modem yet) or reflash 4.3 mk9 kernel+modem to recover wifi I assume.
You confirm no need to buy some real pro version ?

You should have wifi working. Did you reflashed your stock kernel after towelroot?

Morning. Thank you for your support.
In fact, I had no longer WiFi after flashing lollipop boot+modem on 4.3 stock ROM, which is "normal". Sorry for confusion created.
I went back to stock 4.3 kernel+modem : now I've got back my wifi. I'm still rooted. Flashfire has updated to 0.27. good.
My core issue is that I don't succeed with flashfire itself : I tried a simple backup, before attempting redoing steps for your ROM.
And same error : flashfire accept the task, reboots to execute and once in recovery issues a "no commad" error (small android guy laying down, open body : see attached file).
I will upgrade my stockROM to stock 4.4.2, reroot with towelroot, using intermediate older kernel flashing and then will retry your steps with flashfire. Starting ROM version and the fact I use internal SDcard are the only differences I can identify with respect to your process

Flash with Odin I9505XXUFNC4 then follow the instructions from the beginning.
From what i read flashfire has problem doing backups.

good advise : FNC4 has still kernel leak exploited by towelroot, isn't it ?
download ongoing, I'll keep u updated

You install FNC4. Then install GNF1 kernel and root with towelroot.
Install FNC4 and follow strict the guide.

worked great !
Thank you for your support. Upgrading first to 4.4.2 (and rooting it) allowed flashfire to work perfectly. I'll post a report on its apparent non compatibility with Android 4.3.
So I could go further in installing your ROM without further issues... except one, which makes me redo the whole process from scratch currently. I swiped apparently /system after installing ROM --> hence no reboot unless recovery
May I suggest that you slightly update your process (that I strictly followed, then ?

or at least precise that inside flashfire, order of operations is important and wipe task should appear before flash task.
sound obvious now that I reread it carefully, yet I made the mistake...

I'm glad that it worked. Now I'm at work but i will update the process when I will get home. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi
In fact, from what i experienced in flash fire, whatever you select first : wipe or flash, it always put wipe action after flash in its list .. so you have to tap on wipe task in flashfire action list and slide it before flash task.
BTW, I confirm need to factory reset the phone. I tried without. Everything installed well... yet I was stuck after reboot inside lollipop initialisation steps, hanging for "updates".
It might be related to the fact I had Google account already set in former rom.
Finally, I could towel root directly FNC4 4.4.2 stock Rom I flashed through Odin, which is normal since kernel is even older than GNF1.
Going to install xposed now.
Real nice rom: fast, all status "official" , Knox 0x0 as promised
Thank you a lot for your great job.
Open to further testing on my side in case you need

Hi ... I get code error 5054 too on sp flash tool. Can you help ?

can you tel me which vriants give 5054 error?

820s
---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
I made some research the code error 5054 means: The files you're trying to flash do not belong to or are not compatible with the phone you're trying to flash them to**
Solution they give..:*** Ensure you're using the correct files. If you're sure they are, then try formatting before flashing again
Does this mean that my variant is not compatible with yours ?

@Mohamed Yaser you might give the wrong file. Instead, I flashed the pgfs files from Gibz97 thread and it worked fine. Then I continue with flashing twrp through fastboot command.

The problem persists for me.

1. Download pgfs from Gibz97 thread.
2. Put it in the folder containing the lollipop ROM. (backup original pgfs is optional)
3. Open flashtool, as in the OP, load scatter-loading in lollipop rom folder (not in folder RootIT)
4. Follow steps in OP, except do not tick recovery.
5. Proceed until step 7, then reboot into bootloader using adb (as the pic in OP)
6. Then boot into download mode. (It is weird as download mode is considered as fastboot in adb, not the bootloader )
7. Flash twrp using command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img .
8. Boot into recovery, then flash SuperSU.
You're done! I hope it help you

1. Download pgfs from Gibz97 thread.
2. Put it in the folder containing the lollipop ROM. (backup original pgfs is optional)
3. Open flashtool, as in the OP, load scatter-loading in lollipop rom folder (not in folder RootIT)
4. Follow steps in OP, except do not tick recovery.
5. Proceed until step 7, then reboot into bootloader using adb (as the pic in OP)
6. Then boot into download mode. (It is weird as download mode is considered as fastboot in adb, not the bootloader )
7. Flash twrp using command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img .
8. Boot into recovery, then flash SuperSU.
You're done! I hope it help you

No, you do not need to. Just unlocked pgfs1 and pgfs2. If you flash whole firmware, then it will wipe data.

[Guide] [G361H] install TWRP 3.0.2.0 on galaxy core prime VE

Hello..
As the title says this thread is a guide about how to install TWRP on your galaxy core prime VE (G361H).
**I didn't create/build this recovery**
##DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT HAPPENS TO YOU OR TO YOUR PHONE##
#BEFORE you start, go and enable "allow OEM unlock" from development settings..
There is 2 methods to install TWRP, the first one is for rooted users, the second one is for unrooted users (users who want to root their phone using TWRP)
so lets start:
☆METHOD 1 (without ODIN){for rooted users}
1- download the recovery from the link at the end of the thread.
2-download "rashr" from play store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2- open rashr and select "recovery from storage".
3- choose the recovery file that you downloaded.
4- confirm to flash the recovery.
5- after flash is successful press "no" and don't press "reboot to recovery" (for saftey use the three button combo).
6- power off your phone, then reboot to recovery by pressing {home button+volume up+power}, once the screen turns on release the power button, and when you see the SeAndroid error at the top release all the buttons.
7- now you have TWRP recovery on your Core Prime VE G361H, so enjoy.
☆METHOD 2 (using ODIN){for non rooted}
*note: this method doesn't need root*
1- download the ODIN flashable recovery.
2- open ODIN as administrator.
3- select AP and choose the recovery file that you downloaded.
4- uncheck "auto reboot".
5- enter download mode using the three buttons combo (home + vol down+ power).
6- connect your phone to your PC.
7- press "start".
8- when you get "pass", unplug from PC and remove the battery.
9- insert the battery and boot into recovery using the three button combo (home+vol up+power).
5- now you have TWRP recovery on your Core Prime VE G361H, so enjoy.
☆Changing the language to English.
in case the recovery opened in russian launguage follow these steps to make it english:
1- the recovery will boot up in Russian language, you'll find a slider at the bottom of the page, slide it.
2- the TWRP recovery interface will show up but in Russian language, so to change it to English select the right option on the third row.
3- TWRP settings will show up, go and choose the last icon on the right side (which shows an earth icon).
4- swipe up and choose english and press the only button on screen to apply the language.
5- now you have TWRP recovery in english on your Core Prime VE G361H, so enjoy.
##Important note: this recovery only works on G361H, and it will cause brick if it's been flashed on other core prime variants like the G361F
##Download links:

Why did apps become incredibly slow after flashing TWRP, and what do I do about it? Wiping dalvik did not help. Seems often when I root or flash recoveries it slows down my device, was the same thing on S3.

Recovery isn't related to the system as it's installed on a separate partition, i (since 2010) haven't faced any kind of slowness after flashing a recovery till today, so there must be another reason for this slowness but not the recovery.

Yes I've heard that before, but still in my experience, almost without fail, the slowness begins after one of these two operations. The whole OS is laggy now.
edit: My mistake, I also flashed MoAB. After uninstalling it everything is fast.

[Root] [Recovery] Oppo F3 Plus & R9s Plus - Twrp & SuperSU

So sorry to say this but this only method works in WINDOWS 7 and for Marshmallow ROM ONLY
Supported Devices: Oppo F3 Plus (CPH1613EX) & Oppo R9s Plus (CPH1611EX)
Caution:
Please disable Antivirus for any false Detections

TWRP Recovery:
1. Download Drivers and install them (Disable Signed Driver Enforcement)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1T6MTq1upNt_yxrPD9MfOHR8vTOzRisvs
2. Download Oppo R9s Plus/F3 Plus Marshmallow Firmware (CPH1611EX_11_A.16_180106) and Extract it using Winrar/7-zip into a seperate FOLDER
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xo-J5Pe65-fXyJbysVrAZYQ1mocfl53s/view
2.1 Also Download Oppo A57 Firmware and extract it anywhere you like
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B_0XnEjFCVsPWndzSnp2YTFYSkU&export=download
3. Download TWRP Recovery - Keep the recovery img in the same folder as of extracted firmware folder and make sure recovery file name is set to "recovery.img"
Twrp 3.1.1-0 (Latest) - Material Theme and Inbuilt Super SU Root available for easy rooting BUT Chinese language
Download and Extract only recovery.img and place it under firmware folder. u can delete other files.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gkNNx2Ik6oRF-juBDNIilDUu31w6_oI_/view?usp=sharing
To change the chinese language to english please download and flash this zip But in English language you will not get Super SU Root option to root the device from built-in twrp. you have to download SU zip now. So root directly from chinese language and then flash the english language zip to be on safe and easy side
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634752414
Twrp 3.1.0-0 (old) (RECOMMENDED) -
Normal appearance of twrp and no inbuilt SU (sometimes it prompts to install SU, if you decline once, it won't prompt again) and totally English language. Most importantly you can flash opposite OTA updates (ozip) via this twrp
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qbobokagdgme2oa/AABQBtKTmbwChne9z1DaayHca?dl=0&preview=recovery.zip
4. Run the MsmDownloadTool from A57 Firmware folder and you will get Session Timeout error. just ignore it and close the software
4.1. Now run MsmDownloadTool from our F3 plus firmware folder and uncheck "Reset After Download"
5. Switch off ur Mobile and Hold Vol down + Vol Up simultaneously and Plug the usb to pc
5.1 After plugging to pc, open device manager and expand PORTS section and make sure the device is detected as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM xx)". if not you have drivers issues!
6. Press F5, uncheck all options except Recovery and double click on Recovery option and select the recovery.img from firmware folder.
7. press Start and Flashing will be success (Green color message). press stop and unplug the usb
8. Press and hold Vol Up and Power Button and release them when it vibrates. NOW IMMEDIATELY after seeing oppo logo AGAIN PRESS Vol up + Power button to Power Off your device to prevent booting!!!! (If you fail to turn off your device, mobile will boot and will auto restore the stock recovery. so you will have to re-flash the twrp again)
9. Now press Vol Down + Power button to Enter into TWRP
BONUS - Stock Recovery & New OTA Update
Stock Recovery build: CPH1611EX_11_A.16_180106
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1u2Td1g93FwyAdPuKYNqz_iMHAYMpwrwJ
New Build Version: CPH1611EX_11_A.18_180413
Flash this zip via twrp. if it gives error 7 please ask in comment section
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UA_DEjSQ4ESQO22VuvEpBsZhW9UepafY
else, flash this ozip from stock recovery
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1u2R65wYrLy2zqIhjww8adYWkqBjXgdq3
ROOTING

https://www.dropbox.com/s/e35zeqf619...bar FIX?dl=0
2. Boot into TWRP and flash the xposed framework zip and reboot (Reboot will take about 15mins. Please dont think its a Bootloop. Have a nap)

Thank you for the mention, honestly I just said a few details only. We need people like you to shed some light on these unloved phones. XDA community thanks you heartfully for your contribution.
The only thing I can say is : Go Forth, and plant the Nougat to the ground herewith. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . It's time for Nougat to be rooted.
Also just like to confirm that MSMDownloadTool works for Windows 10 too, as proved by this article and video : http://www.techzai.com/crack-msmdownload-tool/

tested windows 10 method of flashing via MiFlash tool. flashing goes success but mobile keeps vibrating but no life
tested twrp 3.1.1.0 and 3.1.0.0. both are working fine but the latest twrp is in chinese language. will figure out to change its language
only windows 7 with msmdownload tool method is working.

Good news:
Root > Magisk v16.0(latest stable) is working flawlessly
Will update OP with magisk installation steps
note: backup ur internal memory in advance xD xD

Hi, i recently update my oppo F3 plus (CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 marshmallow), and i try to root it using this method, it's always boot on the stock recovery when i finish (i did step by step every single world you said).
I think that's a security renforcement about this version of colorOs, i wonder if there is a way ton downgrade to the last version without losing my data (lots of apps), because i did root it whit the version that i had once.
Thanks you

Re: So, i flashed my oppo with the msmtool that you put on your post (all images expect datauser partition), and changed the recovery image before the phone boots..... and it woorks perfectly now.
PS: dont upgrade to the version CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 if you want root your phone, it won't work.

Did you uncheck "Reset After Download" option in msmtool ?

No, i didn't ; in all case i didn't let the phone boot after passing the recovery.img.
Wich version of rom do you have please ?
EDIT: when i downgrade the rom, it worked perfectly
NB: after downgrading , the first time, the phone boot directly and it was the new version (wich causes me problems) that was on it, even when i had flashing all the system

1. U need to uncheck reset after download option to not let the tool to reboot it phone into os
2. I have upgraded to a.18 build via ota 65mb and root worked. Tested with my own hands
3. Caution: if you dont CHECK userpartition in msmtool, after reboot it asks for Android password to proceed and we don't know that password. It's a checkmate. You need to wipe everything to boot
4. If you have patience please flash Magical 16.0 and test it. For me Wi-Fi is not turning on after flashing magisk.
5. I suggest you to use the twrp 3.1.0. bcoz the latest 3.1.1 does not flash oppo ota (.ozip)

Thank you for replying, can you please sent me a link for this OTA updates , beacause the one which is proposed for me on my phone weights 1.7Gb , and the only link i found is on a vientnam website wich doesn't work (probabely because i'm in algeria lol)
