Need stock recovery image for Coby 7022 build 20120106

I need a stock recovery image for the Coby Kyros 7022 build 20120106 (previous builds will not work). I tried to flash clockworkmod recovery on my tablet without making a backup of the stock image, only to find that cwm recovery doesn't work with the new build of my tablet. Can anyone give me a stock recovery image for this tablet? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Same Problem.
I have yet to find a solution since 02/2012.

Maybe you can try this?
stock recovery image for Coby 7022

same probleme right here

Coby 7022 20120106 build
I ended up with no recovery after trying to install clockwork. Recovery didn't work (it bypassed recovery when using the proper keys) and I had no good backup. Flashing older firmware in the 11 2011 timeframe led to boot loops. I've not been able to find a stock Coby 7022 firmware from 20120106. However, I did find another post here regarding a different tablet using the same tcc8803 chipset with the same build date. dub dub dub dxtremeDOTcom.au/forum/viewforum.php?f=15 (remove spaces insert correct www etc...) So I gave it a try. I'm actually able to get the 7022 booted using this firmware and system but the touchscreen is not working, so I'm guessing that driver is not exactly correct.
Completely a noob but wanting to learn. BTW I did not use the FWTool as I read posts this kills the TS
So my ask is, does anyone know of a way to get the drivers for the 7022 build dated 20120106?

This restore didn't work on my system. The 7022 from 20120106 seems to be a rare animal and little info on it yet.

Same problem here, I tried to flash a previous CWM/Stock Recovery and nothing... just bootloop when I try to enter recovery mode. So, does anyone have the stock recovery for the 20120106 build yet? Thank you in advance for the one who can help

After reading a bit, it seems what we need are two files that could be copied off a working stock machine of the proper build date or later. In our case on or after 20120106. The problem for me seems to be the lk.rom file. The ROM I used for the DExtreme pad boots but no touch screen function due to the DExtreme being a 5 touch capacitance screen and the Kyros 7022 being but 2.
There may be other problems with the DExtreme files like the camera being different or even the network adapter but no way of telling without the stock boot file. Anyway, I've resigned myself. My 7022 is a paper weight until I find the stock files.
If anyone comes across this looking to root and clockwork mod your 7022 and it's build date is on or after Jan 6 2012, please stop and use ADB to pull a copy of your stock OS off it first. Not only will you be able to help us out, but you'll be able to restore when things go horribly wrong.

Well, I'm expecting another 7022 to arrive next week (kind of a late Mother's day gift), I assume it will be same build, so, I'll try to pull a copy of that unit and see if I can restore it on te semi-dead one. I will post again when it arrives to tell if it worked (or if I have two bricks xD). If it works, I'll upload a copy.

Neh, It's an international shipment and got delayed. I was supposed to receive it today, but now I'll have to wait 'til monday or tuesday. I'll post when I get them to tell if it worked.
Edit: what I could do was root it. It was quite easy using SuperOneClick, but still no recovery...

So, for now, we are pretty much screwed :/

I just got a 7022 that has a build date of 20120106. I am new to android so I have no idea what I am doing but if someone gives me step by step instructions I can try to get it off the tablet for you. Good thing I found this forum, I was about to try and root it.

1) You need to install the Android SDK, instructions can be found HERE, but basically you need to:
-) Download the .exe and install it
-) Locate the folder where you installed it and run as administrator “SDK Manager.exe”
-) Check (if unchecked) the boxes for SDK Tools, SDK Platform Tools and Google USB Driver Package. You can check any others if you want, but for now, you only need those.
2) You (may) need the specific drivers for the device. You can use the Motorola drivers, which work very nice with the Cobys, you can install the drivers from HERE. Just download and install.
3) You need to root your device, for that, I recommend using SuperOneClick, which can be found HERE. Too root your device:
-) Make sure you have “USB Debugging mode” activated. In your tablet, go to settings -> Applications -> Development and check (if unchecked) the USB Debugging mode.
-) Connect your device to your PC, if it’s the first time you connect it, you need to wait a little while the drivers get configured.
-) When your device is connected and correctly configured, run SuperOneClick as administrator, and click on “Root”. Now wait a little while it gets rooted.
4) Last step, backup recovery image. For this, you’ll need a terminal emulator. You can download “Android Terminal Emulator” from 1mobile.com or any other app market. To do the backup:
-) Open the terminal emulator on your tablet.
-) Request SuperUser Permissions, to do this, write
Code:
su
and hit enter/return, you’ll be asked if you want to grant SuperUser rights to the app Android Terminal Emulator, click “Allow”.
-) Write this line and hit enter/return:
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd6 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096
-) Now, a file named “recovery.img” should be automatically created on your /sdcard folder. THAT, my friend, is the file we so desperately need to revive our tablets, now zip it and uploaded to any server. (Please )
Now that you are rooted, you can do things such as installing the Google apps. There are a lot of tutorials over the internet, but, let me know if you have any trouble so I can help you
WARNING: Don’t, I repeat DON’T try to install ClockWorkMod using ANY of the tutorials found over the internet. Those tutorials work ONLY for builds previous to 20110106, and if you try to do it on your device, you are going to semi-brick it (just like we did xD).

I just got it as a replacement under warranty today and have not done anything to it. I am busy studying for finals now but when I get a chance(prob friday morning) I will follow the steps and upload the recovery.img file

Well, no problem. If you do that we'll be EXTREMELY thankful

This might be a stupid question but bear with me, I don't know anything about this. Does personal info get stored on the recovery.ing file? Should I remove apps like the amazon app store or other ones that I have to log in with?

Old build no bueno...

Will the recovery img work or do we need complete lk.rom and mtds.rom? I was thinking the latter/ You can use ADB to get these files? Still pretty much a noob myself, otherwise I wouldn't be using my 7022 as a coaster.

For the recovery, no. You just need to reflash the stock recovery using fastboot. Let's see if this works...

Negative, the recovery.img file contains only information about the recovery partition, which is used mostly to restor the tablet to factory defaults

IT WORKS!!!! IT FREAKING WORKS!!!
Dude, nduke416, thank you VERY MUCH. You have definitely provided a solution no one did. So, again thank you very much!!!!
for chiefcrewdog:
to reflash it, you just need to enter fastboot mode in your tablet (power + vol down), copy the recovery.img file to your platform-tools directory on your android sdk folder and from there on a cmd:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and that's it, you have your recovery back on your 7022!!

Man, is there a possibility you could upload a backup of the boot.img too? the procedure is the same, just changing the dd command to:
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096
I could really appreciate it, that way there is the possibility to have custom ROMs on our builds
Thank you!

How to root Nubia Z5S

Hi,
I bought a ZTE Nubia Z5S. This phone obviously has some really nice spec. I bought it in China.
The phone itself looks great. Screen is wonderful. It's light. Not too big. So good so far...
I tried to root it of course, since Chinese phones don't like Google Apps. I found many tutorials in Chinese. I tried them with the help of Google Transleter, with no luck so far.
I found some English sites regarding it, but still no luck. I simply can not install the CWM recovery. Have no idea why...
If you want I can send you the links I found so far. But what I really need is help with this!
Thank you!

I bought the ZTE Nubia Z5S from China as well.
No chance for safe root yet, I guess. I've tried Kingo root, it has recognized the phone, but the root process has been unsuccessful.
VRoot might work better, but I don't dare to try it, being still considered malware. Other root solutions have been researched, no one looks useful.
A thread from the bbs.nubia.cn forum describes a Chinese recovery, no root required to flash it. Entering this recovery, there is a root option you can apply to your phone. I'm a nubia forum registered user, but unfortunately I can't get to the hidden download link without Chinese knowledge.
My plan is to wait for MIUI to publish the first Z5S ROM, including root instructions. I'll go the MIUI way.
I'd stay away from Google apps and Play Store, noticing I can live without them.
There are reliable alternatives and some manual sync/update work wont hurt me.

I rooted it with VRoot downloaded from a Chinese page, htcui.com. I managed to install CWM recovery witch is in Chinese, but found some pics, in a Spanish forum actually translated. I put on first a ROM from Needrom, but I did not like it. I read on forums that the ROM NubiaKing (htcui.com as well) is considered the best now. So I tried it out, but it has an installer in Chinese, (Aroma Installer) but with help from my Chinese knowing girlfriend a managed to install the ROM.
It is stable. Runs smoothly. The only problem I have with it, NO idea why, is that I can not sync my contact neither with Facebook, nor with Google+...

Interesting site htcui.com, haven't noticed it. The Spanish forum htcmania.com tells about installing Gapps as well. This should help you to sync contacts. Have you installed Gapps?
I was thinking to install just GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from the Gapps package to get in sync with my Google account. No other Google apps, when possible.

Well no I haven't installed Gapps. The Play store was in the ROM already... That might be the problem, that I merely just downloaded the apps from Play store..? But I'm going to try out the .apk you suggested...

Hi Guys,
I´ve also bought a Z5s, but there went something wrong during the installation for the cwm recovery. Now the phone is stuck on the logo and I have only access to the stock recovery. Tried factory wipe, but that didnt change anything.
Is there a way to get into fastboot?
Tried some button combinations, but didnt make it.
As it is now, I cant get access from my computer and therefore cant add files on the sd-card to move on.
Thanks,
ruvimbo

Hi Guys,
thanks for all the help.
I have exams till Friday, if you want an excuse for my late reaction. :s
Unfortunatly I dont get an activation email to register for the nubia forum, but maybe I'll just have to wait a bit longer than a couple of minutes.
@mirecat: I'm afraid your link doesnt work, at least for me, altough I ran those two ominous .bat files.
After being done with those exams I'll try more and let you know.
You guys are awesome! :highfive:
ruvimbo

No idea why the bat files don't work, I haven't used them actually.
The most direct access to bbs.anzhi.com would be to simply use in browser one of the 2 IP addresses:
210.245.210.204
210.245.210.222
If you need to read the forum content more frequently, locate the hosts file in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder. Open hosts file with notepad and add the following 2 rows at the end, when they are missing:
210.245.210.204 bbs.anzhi.com
210.245.210.222 bbs.anzhi.com
Save the edited hosts file and you are good to go.
No reboot was needed for my computer.
Some words about bbs.anzhi.com - this looks to be the most active Chinese source for ZTE Nubia Z5S customization, the most ROMs and tools get published over there, IMHO. The forum is associated to one of the oldest and largest Chinese app stores AnZhi.com (formerly GoAPK.com). Google translates AnZhi as ING.

ZTE Nubia Z5S unbricking tutorial
I'm assuming is pretty difficult for the average user to read and use the Nubia Z5S unbricking tutorial from.http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-8711460-1-1.html
Later edit: there is a more detailed unbricking tutorial at http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-122309-1-1.html.
Therefore the below tutorial translated from the Anzhi forum. Please use it at your risk, I don't know Chinese and I haven't been able to test it myself.
Please add feedback to correct wrong instructions, when any.
Needed software:
driver.zip - direct download link, dunno if anybody can use it: http://bbs.anzhi.com/forum.php?mod=...zMGQ5NXwxMzkzMTQ5NzY5fDEzMDMyNTI4fDg3MTE0NjA=
z5s_Recovery.rar - direct download link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1c0b1tVq Download password: gt8v
Driver.zip might be the ADB driver for Nubia Z5S, while z5s_Recovery.rar contains 2 recovery images:
- recovery_en.img for stock English recovery
- recovery_cn.img for the Chinese CWM recovery
Unbricking steps:
- unpack driver.zip, right click on autoexec.inf to install the driver on your PC
- make sure Nubia Z5S is turned-off and connect it to PC through USB
- unpack z5s_Recovery.rar on your PC and run recovery.bat
- recovery displays like in the attached image:
choice=1 Nubia Recovery - installs recovery_en.img
choice=2 Reboot Recovery
choice=3 CWM Recovery - installs recovery_cn.img
- choose 1, when you want the stock English recovery or 3 for the CWM recovery
- reboot into recovery mode and then select "mount USB storage" to mount the built-in storage, then copy the stock or preferred ROM into the mounted storage root
- flash the ROM from recovery

I've also vroot my z5s and disable services with Chinese descriptions. Now the phone is bricked, stuck on nubia boot logo.
The problem is that no usb access as slave device also on android recovery mode. I've try usb otg connection but I didn't find a way to mount or cd on external usb flash disk. The funny think is that I try usb keyboard, with otg cable, and the phone rebooted when I pressed Alt Ctrl Del on Android recovery screen...
When battery is flat it appears on usb devices but as HID device.
Αny recovery idea will be valuable!
Thanks

@gusbgr - try to use the unbricking tutorial from above.
Install CWM recovery giving you the USB mount option, then copy a stock or custom ROM to the phone memory and flash it.
Or maybe you could try to boot into stock recovery and run factory reset.

Or maybe you could try to boot into stock recovery and run factory reset.

mirceat, thanks for your reply.
Connecting the phone on pc, a battery with an red exclamation mark appears on phone screen. Probably tries to charge but usb low current supply.
But phone it is not reachable and not visible on device manager (win XP), nor as unknown device.
The unbricking tool is stack after the "press any key to continue". Running the adb tools in a command prompt, returns :error: device not found.

I have the same issues as gusbgr.
Though I had some kind of reaction on another pc after plugging in the smartphone, the recovery switches (after pressing 3 or 1) instantly to the "press any key to continue" screen. Have to get on that computer again, maybe it needs more than one attempt.

Asus The New PadFone Infinity (A86) aka PadFone Infinity 2 Thread

Hi,
Since I didn't find a thread for The New PadFone Infinity (A86) aka PadFone Infinity 2, decided to create this thread.
Hopefully this top device gets noticed by developers.

Any MOD for audio? Low handset speaker volume?
As you might noticed, the speaker volume (notifications, ringtones, etc.) of NPFI handset is pretty low even when all volume sliders are maxed out and audio wizard is set to "Music".
I have a rooted device and installed Alsa Mixer from Play Store and tweaked the parameter "RX7 Digital Volume" from within the app. Changed default value of 85 to 100 and was pleased to get a noticeably louder speaker volume. Problem is that the value resets almost instantly and volume level gets back to its default value. Probably because Alsa Mixer installs its own audio driver (alsa amixer) which uses a separate system for assigning values and there is a protection system in place by Asus I think.
I also played with parameters in files below (residing in /system/etc/snd_soc_msm) - tweaked the RX7, RX1, RX2, etc...
snd_soc_msm_Taiko
snd_soc_apq_Taiko_DB
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_CDP
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_Fluid
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_Liquid
saved and reboot, but it didn't make a difference. So anyone has any idea to share?
P. S. As far as I know the audio engine for NPFI is designed by Wave and is called MaxxAudio, Is it possible that it has something to do with that?

Thank you for making much needed forum.
Hopefully soon there will be gathered all the essentials.

hi there, thanks for the update :good:

Hmm nothing major...
I wonder why the New Padfone Infinity has to wait the longest to get the latest version of Android...

Kingoapp
Kingoapp worked ok for me for root.
I had to reboot phone and a PC after a driver install, but that's ok.
Is there a sub forum for PadFones? Would be nice to have a place for this stuff.
There are some other places for PFs.

The new update 10.12.3.130 has a bug. Apparently Asus is working to fix the bug. Don't panic. Hopefully a bug fix will be released soon.

Now I wonder how ASUS ZenFone 6 works...

Still waiting on that 130 fix... wondering if there just ignoring it and going to wait until ZenUI is ready

I must say I share your doubt. Possibly they are working on KitKat for NPFI, and ignoring the fix for now. Disappointing customer support management!

Its a shame that theres no developer support for the A86. Such a great device with no custom roms

KIT KAT Released for NPFI
Finally Asus released firmware update 11.2.5.12 for NPFI which updates its android version to 4.4.2
Download links are available at Support section of your device in Asus website.

Yes, I downloaded it and had mine updated, mine you all, 4.4.x has a known issue, that is all 3rd party apps cannot write to external SD, unless you root it and apply the fix, then either leave it as rooted or unroot it again.

Root 4.4.2 - Build: 11.2.5.26 (TW)
Hi
Just got one of these and it has recently updated from .20 to .26 and now I cant root it? Any ideas?
Is there a way of downgrading back to .20?
Thanks

Rooting Firmware 12.4.0.59 - Android 5.0.2 - A86
This post is copied from my own thread in padfoneclub.com so there is no case of stealing
If you want to copy this post on other forums please do not forget to give due credits to original poster.
Disclaimer! The procedure described below has the potential of rendering your phone useless if not followed properly. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY WHAT SO EVER, IF YOU BRICKED YOUR PHONE WHILE PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE. PROCEED AT OWN RISK!
This method is tested by downgrading firmware 12.4.0.59 to 11.2.5.26, which in turn needs a factory reset/ wipe data/ cache/ afterwards. Before anything else back up your important data (ie. contacts, messages, app data, etc) to some place safe outside your phone. ORIGINAL RECOVERY of your phone will be replaced by TWRP recovery
Preparation: (BEFORE ANYTHING REMOVE YOUR SIM CARD AND MICRO SD)
1. You must have USB debugging enabled, allow mock locations (developer options menu in settings)
2. You must have UNKNOWN SOURCES enabled (security menu in settings)
3. To be on the safe side I recommend you disable VERIFY APPS OVER USB, in developer options menu. You can re enable everything after the job is done.
4. You need to download firmware 11.2.5.26, and 12.4.0.59 according to your phone SKU and save it on your computer.
5. Download WINRAR or any archiving software which is able to modify zip files and install it on your computer.
6. Download unofficial TWRP ver 2.7.1.1 ONLY from this link, and save to your computer
7. Download BETA SUPER SU 2.49 from here, and save it to your computer.
8. If you are on firmware, 11.2.5.26, or 11.2.5.30 and rooted you are half way done, if not either you have to upgrade or downgrade depending on the firmware that now you are on. For example if you already upgraded to 12.4.0.59 you need to downgrade first and root, then proceed. There's a thread in padfoneclub which comprehensively discusses way to root Kit Kat firmware so I skip to just explaining downgrade procedure from 12.4.0.59.
9. To downgrade from 12.4.0.59 to 11.2.5.26, you do it in the usual way from recovery except you need to factory reset/wipe data/ wipe cache via recovery beforehand. REMEMBER TO REMOVE YOUR MICRO SD FIRST AND THEN WIPE OR YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA ON MICRO SD AS WELL! After wipe, reboot your phone and place the 11.2.5.26 zip in the root of your sd card by transferring downloaded zip from your PC.
10. Downgrade by choosing "apply update from sd card menu item" in recovery and selecting the zip file you just transferred to your phone. Remember to have at least 70% charge on your battery before downgrade or upgrade.
11. After the downgrade process completes your phone reboots, if it is stuck in ASUS logo for a long time (more than 10 min), switch off your phone by pressing and holding power button. Then reboot into recovery again do another factory reset / wipe data / wipe cache and reboot again. Now everything will be OK and your phone boots to initial KK setup. proceed until you are on the home screen. reboot your phone again.
12. make sure that items explained in step 1-3 are checked and unchecked accordingly.
13. Root your phone by your desired method.
NOW THE IMPORTANT STEPS TO UPGRADE TO A ROOTED ANDROID L 12.4.0.59
1. On your PC replace the "recovery.img" in the zip file for Firmware 12.4.0.59 with TWRP recovery that you just downloaded. Both have the same name and it is a simple case of drag and drop into zip file.
2. Now you have 3 important file:
- The modified 12.4.0.59
- The TWRP recovery you downloaded (recovery.img)
- The beta Super SU 2.49
Copy all 3 file to the root of your sd card in your phone.
3. Install "Terminal Emulator" from Play Store, open the terminal and give it root permissions if needed.
4. Type su
5. Then type
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery bs=4096; sync;
(you can copy paste to rule out any typing mistake)
6. After executing the command a number of bytes transfers and the results will display in terminal window. close the window and reboot into recovery as usual, except this time you have TWRP recovery instead of original Asus recovery.
7. Go to "Install" button and select the modified 12.4.0.59 from your sdcard, uncheck "zip file signature verification" then "add more zips" and select beta super su 2.49. zip as well, then swipe to confirm flash.
8. If everything goes according to plan your phone will be flashed with the new firmware and rooted at the same time.
9. Reboot and enjoy!
10. I tried this method on my phone and it all went smoothly, but in case you get errors, you have to figure it out yourself, I WONT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU! AGAIN BE CAUTIOUS, FOLLOW STEPS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED AND PROCEED AT OWN RISK.

hey there soft-man !
obviously you found a a solution to install twrp on the h410, i saw it at http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=682101
could you please make a small tutorial in english and post it here ?
.. and reupload the tools we need to install twrp (LG_H410__Flash_Recovery.rar) << dead link
i already installed root and crashed my device by deleting to the wrong system app ... reinstall fw via lg flash tool fails
now twrp is my only hope !
thanks a zillion !!!

If there is a chance to root the LG h410, i totally supportswitcher's request for a english tutorial and new links for the tools needed. Thanks in advance

+1 for translation from Russian forum

once again: does anybody here managed to (re)flash the firmware on the h410 ?
my device is trapped at the android logo ;(
what i did is unsuccessfully tried to flash a *.kdz with flashtool 2014. lg bridge is aborting update and lgup shows device not supported
download modus is available but cant connect device via adb.
any help is greatly appreciated

Ok, after spending a few hours on my LG smart wine (EU version) and with the help of the guys on 4PDA, here is my little how to for rooting our LG H410:
Beware, I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong with the manipulation on your phone and all this was only possible thanks to the people over at 4PDA.ru, thanks to them! I am/was on firmware V10e-EUR-XX official.
1) Use Kinguser apk to get root on your device (don't worry, you can uninstall it later through superSU).
2) Install Flashify and backup your current/original recovery. You'll need to be root to use flashify, that's why we need #1) first. You'll find flashify on the play store.
3) Install TWRP recovery either through flashify or with flash.bat found in LG_H410__Flash_Recovery.rar (this one will be russified, but you can always go through flashify and install the english version afterwards !EDIT!: Since the file was too large to upload, I took the russian recovery.img out of the zif archive. You'll will have to unpack it, copy the recovery_en.img provided after having renamed it to recovery.img, and it should work).
4) Install latest stable or Beta superSU.zip (search google for the official maintainer/version and copy it on your microSD card) from within TWRP.
5) Restart the phone
6) If you open superSU, it will ask you possibly to update the binaries and then to uninstall the other software that might interfere (it's Kinguser). So just say yes and it will take care of everything.
7) (optional) If you're like me needing more storage place on your device, install Link2SD from the play store. If I'm right, you'll need to have a second partition on your SD card (Ext4 file system), after the Fat32 one, to be able to move your apps to the SD card with Link2SD. I even bought the Plus version in order to be able to move the whole app.
You can use MiniTool Partition Wizard Free to set your partitions on th card. Add the new primary partition in Ext4 AFTER the Fat32 one, otherwise windows won't recognise your card.
I forgot to backup my stock recovery before flashing the new one, but all should be fine for you if you do it in the order above.
You have to unpack recovery_en.zip and flash the .img you have in the folder, don't flash the zif through TWRP, it won't work. And don't forget to rename it to recovery.img if you use it within the LG_H410__Flash_Recovery folder.
Once again, thank the people who did the job over at 4PDA, especially Soft-Man for trying out things, they did all the work. I'll try to attach the files needed here.
Hope it will help someone, have fun with your phone!

Sure it is interesting .... just one wuestion ... what about if i stop after step 1? If kinguser gets me root i personally don't have any need to go further ...

Of course you can, if you want to keep the official recovery (probably better if you want to be able to install official OTA updates).
I would still install SuperSU through flashify though (I think you can do so without having a modded recovery installed, but I'm not sure), and get rid of Kinguser the way I described it. Thing is I don't really trust those rooting apk, you never know what they install and what they keep track of on your phone... Not sure what's left of it when you uninstall it either.
Tell us how it worked for you.

Thank you very much.
When I work as the indicated method from you, root has come. (LGS01 of a Japanese local edition of H410).
By the way I can't start bootloader moode in LGS01, can you start it in H410?
When it's done, please tell me the way which can be done.
I'd like to use LGS01 by a DIAG mode.
(I'd like to add a frequency.).

Yeah, i get it. My goal is just to get root and being able to install titanium backup. No need for further modding. I will investigate about installing SuperSU through flashify with stock recovery.
:good:

still looking for a way to flash my bricked h410
..sorry to bother you guys, but where else to ask for help if not at xda ?

After finally reactivating my phone i like to share some bugs in stock firmware.
First of all LED notification: Is there a workaround for the blinking time, i find 15 seconds are much to long, i like to have 2 seconds. Tried some third party apps but the ideal solution would be by modyfing the stock app.
Second the T9: Its horrible ! Is there a way to switch it off ? By deleting the XT9. apk i totally messed it up and only have the numbers left.
Third of all, the keyboard .. Is there a good alternative with bigger (resizable) keys. Currently am using big buttons keyboard but am not really happy with it

I try to root LG H410 (EU version) but after installing Kinguser apk, root was not available so Flashify rapport an error about impossibility to access root.
My version of software is V10c-260-01

[Hisense A5C] Customizer and Gapps R02 - include original recovery

you can root with A5C customizer R02
include original recovery package
you can recover original partition with `a5c_original_6.01.04.B5` (qfil in edl mode)
and apply TF package (hisense SD card updater)
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=19DB5749F1E9151C!5935&authkey=!AJ5IfzAYRv4ZAts&e=0ihAAA
system version should same (version is folder name) or bricked.
install method same and gapps can download below link.
[a5 root & gapps ]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/hisense-a5-root-gapps-customizer-t4097951

So this works just as easy as with the A5?
Just curious because I've done it on the A5 and am thinking of getting an A5C seeing no luck with getting Google on the Pro or Pro CC yet.

So I got the A5C. Can confirm this works.
Are there newer versions around @joygram?

I bricked the A5C. Anyone knows how can I get the ROM to flash without a Chinese number from the hinsensfans forums thread with this title?

I upload the Stock ROM with OneDrive, but I can't post the link (XDA policy, I'm new on xda).
I use it to upgrade an Hisense A5 (b/w) in an Hisense A5C (color).
Hardware model is the same: HLTE202N.
Also I think it's possible to use this software to do a factory reset on a smartphone that is already an A5C.

Here the Upgrade method:
Use T card to upgrade.
(1) precautions for upgrade:
1. The upgrade operation will clear all non-factory preset user information in the mobile phone. Please transfer important information in advance.
2. Be sure to ensure that the battery is sufficient. It is recommended that the battery should have at least 50% of the battery to avoid power interruption during the upgrade process, resulting in upgrade failure.
(2) preparation before upgrading T card:
1. Prepare a TF card, first format the TF card into FAT format;
2. Decompress the downloaded software version (generally a compressed package, which is divided into multiple compressed subpackages), and copy the obtained folder named "HLTE202N_TF" to the root directory of the TF card;
3. Put the TF card into the mobile phone and put the battery into the mobile phone. Confirm that the battery power is more than 50%, if the battery power is low, please charge first;
(3) T-card upgrade process
1. Press and hold the "volume +" and "volume-" side keys at the same time, and then press the power-on key. The mobile phone will automatically enter the T-card upgrade mode to upgrade. If the mobile phone does not enter the T-card upgrade mode, repeat this operation after shutdown.
2. Wait about 5 minutes for the upgrade to end. A message indicating successful upgrade will be displayed.
3. Restart according to the prompt after the upgrade is successful. If there is no such prompt, press the power-on key for more than 20 seconds to restart the machine. After the upgrade, it takes a long time to restart the machine for the first time, which is several times of the normal startup time, please wait patiently.

Ok. After getting my hands on the file from the upper link, and after a flawless flash through a micro sd card (8gb at least) i made a torrent file for the file. At the momment only my computer is seeding it so slow download, but if others care to download and seed, the file can be reachable easily.
Here is a small dropbox link to the torrent file, so you can download using a torrent client from my pc directly.

After flashing this rom, the software would find some upgrades (maybe two or three upgrades, one after another) so you will get to a higher version with more control on the e-ink refresh rate.

I updated Magisk and it works fine.

Can I trouble you for a new version that functions with 6.07.02 firmware? The updated screen controls in the new firmware are really useful and it's a shame that I have to choose between gapps and the new software.

Can someone help me?
I am not able to flash the TF Card update to restore my Hisense A5C. I always get failed to parse bin head.

I already tried different SD Cards. I have a working Google Version Rom which I can flash with MiFlash. But when I flash the "Original" vbmeta and boot from the root package and then try TF Card update. I always get this error.
