Huawei G330 (u8825d) Phone Boots Into Clockwod Mod Recovery Only
I have just folled the steps to install CWM recovery and root the phone and have installed a custom rom ( tried others too)
I have done the same with other G300s and 1 other G330 so dont understand why this one doesnt work.
When you restart the phone it just goes straight to the CWM recovery screen , any ideas please?:fingers-crossed:

Restoring stock ROM

Apologies for dumb questions but I am really newbie with Sony phones (I know my way around HTCs though).
I have the Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633). After some reading, I've managed to unlock bootloader, installed TWRP recovery and rooted the phone.
My wife somehow locked the phone without memorizing password and the brightest idea I've had was to perform factory reset. Accidentally, I have managed to perform a full wipe, wiping everything except mSD card (I have experience with CWM recoveries but not with TWRP). I did not backup software before accidental wipe.
Phone obviously wont boot but I am having hard time to get to recovery as well, phone just hangs with TWRP recovery logo on the screen.
The first step I intend to perform is to try to re-flash recovery again a go from there.
My intention is to restore stock ROM using Flashtool and d6633_23.0.f.1.74_1288-7362_r8b_ru.ftf
I've read how to enter appropriate boot mode, however, I am not sure witch one to choose for Flashtool to work. BTW, is it possible to restore stock software using Sony PC Companion software?
Can anyone point me in a right direction? A simple guide to follow to in order to get out of this tough situation?

Download your desired firmware and install latest flash tool on your computer.
Copy the downloaded firmware on to the flash tool folder which can be found on your C drive.
Hold volume up and power together till your phone vibrates thrice (power shut down)
Now open flash tool, select flash mode and then your firmware. Now press start.. You will see animation there asking you to connect your device.
Hold your phone's "down volume button" and connect it to the computer. Flash tool will recognize the device and starts flashing. Wait for it to finish.
Boot your device and you are good to go!

Success! Thank you for your hand holding.
Order of steps to get the phone to flash mode was slightly different in my case though. When I pressed volume up and power key the device did not react. Repeating the same process with USB cable inserted worked. When pressing volume down the phone was tying to get to recovery but then it hanged there. In the end when Flashtool asked me to connect the phone, I've kept pressing volume down key with phone turned off and inserted USB cable and it got recognized and software got flashed in the end. BTW, Flashtool does't contain drivers for Z3 yet, therefore I've installed drivers for Z1 / Z2 in addition to flashmode and fastboot drivers.
Currently I am updating software trough Sony Update and then I will check if bootloader is still unlocked ant will try to get to recovery. If no luck I will reflash recovery.
Thank you again!
P.S. I've noticed that there are slightly different application included in this ROM. FTF file in these forums is a slightly different version that came with my phone originally. It might be useful to get more versions of FTFs for D6633 model uploaded...

MT7 TL-10 bringing back to alive after Lollipop softbrick

There are several threads and questions regarding soft brick of MT7 TL-10 after deleting of system in TWRP. Some people referring that installation stucks at 90 percent..i had the same problem..playing in TWRP and suddenly deleting/wiping system and all data..i was trying all possibilities mentioned in this forum..after many hours i succeeded to bring my phone back to business. Now i would like to share my knowledge gained during this process. I own an international version of MT7 TL-10..Before updating to Lollipop and wiping all data i was running B125SP02 firmware.
Here is step by step the procedure:
1. boot into bootloader( Vol Down + Power button with phone plugged to PC)
2. Download fastboot.zip from here: https://mega.co.nz/#!fZ4CCDJD!gSMMZGhfsEx23LqbPelCWFchMYhHtl3Ro6kv7Rpz-40
3. You need to flash Boot and Recovery image in fastboot..Click thru the folder till sub folder named Fastboot..Press Shift+Right Click - Open Command window here: type - fastboot flash boot boot.img, press Enter..next command - fastboot flash recovery recovery.img..with this you have flashed boot and recovery images..dont close the command window and dont unplug your phone..stay connected
4. prepare you SD card, i used San Disk 64GB, any card 4GB+ should do the trick..Card must be formated in FAT32 otherwise your phone wont recognize your card..this you can do very easy way..
This small utility will help you: http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html?tag=mncol%3bpop&cdlPid=10982635
5. download the rollback package for M7 TL-10 http://consumer.huawei.com/it/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=45463
copy dload folder to your formatted FAT32 SD Card....remember, you are still in bootload mode.
6.now go back to opened command window, and you type: fastboot reboot and press enter..the card is till not inserted.the phone will restart and now you can unplug your phone..you will get scree restart/wipe data/wipe cache
7.insert your SD card into your phone, press and hold Vol UP and Down at the same time and press Power button. phone will restart but you are still holding Vol Up and Down pressed for aprox. 10 seconds till Huawei logo disappears.
8.Update will start automatically , when update is done, phone will restart again till screen restart/wipe data/cache..you have successfully rolled back..stay there, do nothing, leave your phone how it is.
9.download stock Rom, i chose this one: http://consumer.huawei.com/it/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=45462
10.remove your SD card, and on PC/Laptop delete the previous rollback update.app, but dont format the SD card..now copy dload folder from downloaded firmware, in this case B125SP02..
insert you card back into your phone
11.Now press again Vol Up+Down, keep pressing for aprox. 10 seconds and restart the phone with one Power button press..wait until the Huawei logo disappears..update will start automatically...wait till its finish, phone will restart and boot your system. And you are back again.
I guess, this quide should help also for TL-09 model, but with with Rom for your model.
Hope i could help you. If you have any questions, just PM me.

Hello!
Do you know where can i take the corect boot.img and recovery img for L09?
Thank you!

Its the same..

Hello !
You sad this:
".Update will start automatically , when update is done, phone will restart again till screen restart/wipe data/cache..you have successfully rolled back..stay there, do nothing, leave your phone how it is."
I installed the update, my phone restarted, it started again, but it freeze at huawei logo. That wipe/delete menu is not appear.
You phone did the same?
I continued with the installation, i pressed vol up + vol down, the huawei logo disappear, but the screen become black, and it is staying black.
Update: I fixed the black screen but the installation of the kitkat freeze at 90%
Thank you!

Did you unplug your phone? if yes, try to flash lollipop recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-mate7-android-5-1-t3156779
There delete/wipe everything what you can..flash back the original recovery and try it one more time

Thank you for your help!
It is working now!
I unpacked the B137 rom, and from this rom i forced flash from adb "system.img".
After that i did you guide again!
But, after the installation of the transition pack, the phone didn't want to install the kitkat update.app.
But i forced the installation of the software (3 button method) with the card ejected, and when the installation screen appeared i inserted the card.
And now everything is ok.
Thank you!
Have a nice week-end!

ROOT J2 PRIME (SM-G532 F/M/G) SUPEREASY 5 steps

now i was looking for how to root my j2 prime because its what i use to login with my vpn then i use a proxy server on it to route all traffic connected to it while its in hotspot mode but it seems proxy servers have their limitations and so im forced to root so i can just hotspot the vpn directly with an app, but after searching i found 3 methods all using superSU which im not comfortable with anymore, all with many steps but in my experice since this phone has got nothing to lose i decided to experiment and boom it worked...

STEPS
1. BOOT PHONE IN DOWNLAOD MODE (power+vold-down+home)
2. FLASH TWRP in the AP OPTION in ODIN (untick auto reboot;very important) then after flash succeeds
3. Pull out battery and boot to recovery (power+vol-up+home)
4. FLASH MAGISK.zip from your SDCARD (Recovery wont be able to mount internal storage so make sure to put the MAGISK.zip in your SDCARD)
5. Reboot and Hello systemless root
credits to this thread where i was searching for root, includes link to 3 methods but mine is the shortest and easiest

I'm unable to start recovery mode. I pull out the battery and after pressing the keys the phone simply goes off. Also I'm unable to enter recovery mode anyway (after turning it off and not flashing anything). That's it, I can't enter stock recovery either.
I tried all button combinations and it just doesn't enter recovery mode.
Never mind, it was probably a faulty button. Pressing with force did the trick. I however employed a bit different path (or perhaps I wrote it down more detailed), which come out more noob like, I'll leave them here for anyone that might use them
Noob, baby steps to root the Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime SM-G532M:
1. Enable developer mode and selected OEM unlocking and USB debug, dunno if it's needed but I did it because in all roots I have seen this is a must.
2. Put the Magisk zip onto a SD card (currently Magisk-v18.0) and put the SD card into the phone. Then I turned off the phone.
3. Turn on the phone into download mode (power+vold-down+home), connect the phone to the PC.
4. Open ODIN and FLASH TWRP file using the AP button (VERY IMPORTANT, uncheck the auto reboot in options, otherwise the recovery goes back to stock I think and the phone will boot into the regular OS, and you'll have to flash TWRP again), wait a few seconds to the flash to finish (odin says PASS! in green).
5. From this screen without touching anything reboot the phone into recovery mode (power+vol-up+home) (just in case press hard the vol+ key). If it boots the phone in regular mode, do steps 2 , 3 and 4 again.
6. FLASH MAGISK.zip from the microSD. When finished wipe Delvik/Cache.
7. Reboot the system. Open the Magisk app (you might have to wait a few seconds for it to appear among on the apps) then press yes when prompted to finish installation as many times (2 times I think). And done, you have your phone rooted.
PD: Magisk can be found here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/
As for the TWRP file (twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-g532_5617b.tar), use the one in the link on the OP.

why am i getting an error? it says
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/Magisk-v17.1.zip' "
can i get some help here?

Good day!
Is disabling dm-verity and force encryption included in the process?
And also, everything works fine but how is that i cannot delete system apps manually? They're returning back after reboot.
Thanks.

Did the phone trigger an Autoplay window (to ask you if you want "view files", "import media", etc.)
Did the phone appear in the file explorer (as a media player device?) with storage(s)?
