Do you have the Stock ROM for GB 2.3.6 (SkyRocket) which i can flash using TWRP? My PC doesn't recognize my Skyrocket. The only way for me is to flash using TWRP but I can't find the GB ROM for it. There's a lot of ROM of GB but it is for ODIN (with extension .tar.md5) instead.

invalid zip
I am a mac user without access to a PC (no odin). I have TWRP recovery installed. I used android file transfer to move the stock firmware zip in the download section to the internal SD (root folder). I wiped the system and cache, then install zip - but it fails every time with "invalid zip file format". I have tried a half dozen other versions of the stock ROM from various sources and they all fail with the same error. ZIP signature verification is disabled. Just when I thought that i was doing something completely dumb and not flashing correctly at all - I tried re-flashing the lineageOS ROM i have and that worked fine. I've read a bit about unpacking and re-zipping these zips to get them to work, but that requires 7zip (which I don't have on mac). Help! am I doing something dumb or do I not have the correct zip files? I really need to get back to stock so I can activate my cellular service.

GUIDE: HOW TO INSTALL/UPDATE ROM WITHOUT STATUS 7 ERRORS
p.s this guide is totally noob friendly and to the best of what I could explain. But then again, I don't mind replying to kindergarten-noob level queries either.
Okay, this is for those who face these Status 7 Errors, don't panic, I found a partial-but-working fix. Your phone is not corrupted. Just follow these steps to get out:
Method 1:
1) You can simply quit Recovery Mode and go back to using your ROM as it is (that is only if you haven't Wiped Data).
2) Once you're phone's booted, download ROM Manager from the Play Store
3) Using USB Mass Storage, copy the ROM (zip) file to your internal drive.
4) Then (obviously) unplug/turn-off the USB Mass Storage mode and go to the ROM Manager app.
5) Click on Install ROM from SD Card (which means internal over here, idk why) and select the ROM. Ignore step 6 if you don't want to backup.
6) This is optional, but if you wish to come back to this ROM later click on Backup
7) Click on wipe-data if you're upgrading to another ROM (from CM10.1>CM10.2 or CM10.2>CM11) or ignore this step if you're flashing a new build (nightly/alpha)
8) The ROM will be flashed and you're good to go. If you're upgrading to a new nightly/alpha build, ignore step 8.
ONLY IF YOU'RE UPDATING TO ANOTHER ROM:
Just before the bootanimation, be ready to take out your battery and go to recovery mod with the combo keys (Volume Up+Power) and flash Gapps. (Preferably from this)
Method 2:
1) You can simply quit Recovery Mode and go back to using your ROM as it is (that is only if you haven't Wiped Data).
2) Once you're phone's booted, download ROM Manager from the Play Store
3) Using USB Mass Storage, copy the ROM (zip) file to your internal drive.
4) Reboot to Recovery
5) Flash the zip and reboot to recovery, again, and flash Gapps. (Preferably from this)
Oh and make sure to go to this thread and thank them for the gapps

Reserved. Will post some later
Normally this problem is rather easy to solve
1: If you have the error at the beginning of flash you need to do a factory reset wip
2: If the error appears when the symlink you need to format the system
the gapps and other files. sh are the cause of this problem
Remember that the i9003 can only use 230 mb clean flash
if you do not do a full wip factory and format system welcome to STATUS 7 ERRORS MouHaHa ?§!
if you change rom author does not expect to keep your data!
Really good tutorials by both of u...:good:

Dear Friends,
Here is a new AOSP ROM with pure Lolipop Experience for our Lenovo A6000/Plus.
You need to be on official Lolipop, If you are still on Kitkat DONT FLASH IT.
First update your device toLolipop using Official OTA. Please explore XDA for "How to upgrade A6000/Plus to Lolipop"
Always a good Idea to take backup of device, including Modem, EFS, Radio etc if you may.
Downloads: :good::good::good:
ROM
GAPPS Use ARM 64 5.1.1 packages depending on your preference (Nano Gapps will do if you dnt want to install google apps as system apps)
TWRP Recovery TWRP-1 TWRP-2
Superuser
Steps to Install:
(If you are a noob PLEASE explore XDA before commenting here that this ROM bricks the phone, my phone is dead etc. If you are flashing ROM for the first time.. then it takes a lot of learning, Use YouTube, Google to learn about Custom Recovery, Super User etc)
Transfer ROM GAPPS and SuperUser Files to Your SD CARD.
Proceed for Recovery Installation.
1. Install TWRP .img File. (TWRP is a custom recovery which replaces your stock recovery)
Steps to install TWRP Recovery
a) Install Minimum ADB and Fastboot on Your PC along with USB Drivers for your Phone. XDA Link for Help
b) Rename the recovery file to "recovery.img" (You will need the name to build command line.)
c) Copy recovery.img file to the same folder where ADB is installed.
d) Connect android to PC via USB and enable USB debugging from Developer Options, Authorize USB debigging.
e) Open ADB application as administrator, Give command "adb devices", this will ask for USB debugging authorization, give that.
f) run following commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
More Help
You will be now on TWRP screen
1. Select Install > SuperUser
2. Wipe Data and cache
3. Select Install > ROM ZIP File (Add More Zips) Select GAPPS ZIP File.
4. Swipe to Flash.
5. Wait till it completes
6. Reboot, Be patient first boot takes time.
7. Setup Your Phone and you are good to Go.
Bugs : None Known.
GPS Working, SIM Cards Working, FM Radio Working, Hindi and Indian languages Working, Camera Working, Performance Good, Gaming Smooth, Battery drain Normal.
If you face any bug, please report.
NOOBS : Please dont comment I am DEAD, I am Bricked blah blah.. That not because of ROM, thats because you have not done enough study and not learned how to flash ROMs.

I successfully ported TWRP to Panasonic Eluga Note (MTK6753) after a four day effort. Not a dev here. First time doing this.
<TLDR? skip this>
When I started using android in my HTC HD2, every ROM was pre rooted. I took it for granted.
So I get this cheapo MTK and breaking into it is like banging head against a wall!! I was frustrated with the battery drain: Device never sleeps since the last OTA!
So I learnt SP flash tools and downgraded. ( wiped nvram and created another mess in the process- which is a different story. I solved it)
I could spend this effort and time to stop that pesky "Panasonic" bootaudio too. And that's the first thing I deleted after I booted TWRP, even before rooting.
</TLDR? skipped this>
First things first, enable ADB, enable OEM unlock in developer options, and go to bootloader to unlock it <fastboot oem unlock> THIS WILL WIPE DATA!!
Second thing: Backup nvram.img by sp flash readback and learn how to flash it back (search XDA)- Sometimes you can learn from other's mistakes too! I spent a day and half writing back IMEI and WIFI Mac.
Process (if you don't trust me and want to reproduce the steps yourself)
1. Download stock firmware. (google knows)
2. Patch boot.img so that it doesn't overwrite TWRP with stock recovery on each boot (extract by Carliv Image kitchen and hash out the three lines 663, 664 and 665 mentioning "service flash_recovery /system/bin/install-recovery.sh" in init.rc). I created two copies in the same folder (boot.img, and boot-verified.img) and copied scatter into the same folder for flashing. That's what I saw in the firmware folder.
3. Port TWRP using Carliv Image Kitchen method. I downloaded TWRP from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/twrp-porter-maker-mediatek-mt67xx-32-t3681861 but didn't use their method. It didn't work. The TWRP for this chip was stated as android N, but worked well.
4. Flash ported TWRP after copying scatter file to the Carliv Imagekitchen output folder and selecting that scatter in SP droid tools. I again created recovery.img and recovery-verified.img. Don't know if its needed that way. You could wait and flash boot and recovery together from the same folder.
5. That's it, you can enter custom recovery now. Get that pesky "panasonic" bootaudio off the system/media folder now! You can stay content after this or proceed to root.
<nandroid backup now, including Nvram and NVdata. Just in case>
6. Download Supersu zip flashable and flash it via TWRP. https://download.chainfire.eu/1113/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214.zip?retrieve_file=1 worked for me.
7. Reboot, check root!
If you're more daredevil,
8. Download Xposed flashable zip SDK23 and flash it. Download Xposed installer and copy it to SDcard too.
9. Reboot to recovery and flash the zip. Reboot, install xposed installer. Reboot again.
You're done!
I'll upload my boot.img and ported TWRP if anyone shows any interest in this.
Cheers!
(Bonus: this phone has built in IPtables support in the kernel! I used to flash custom kernel for this ability in other Stock ROMs. AFfirewall works "out of the box"- after rooting, of course!)
Edit: uploaded my modded boot.img and ported TWRP. find it here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sM1BnyBUFN7PfncFcM7vzIet6gKt3G_L/view?usp=sharing
If you want to go the easy route, unzip the folder and flash it with sp flash. You'll be able to boot into recovery and do the other steps for rooting.
Rememer ONLY DOWNLOAD, don't format, or format and download, or anything!
Brilliant Work man. I also was sort of in your situation as well . i have a panasonic Eluga A3 (Qmobile Noir E2) in my country. Stock Qmobile rom was horrendous. so i flashed the panasonic rom but hated the boot audio and the bloatware that came with it. so i decided to make a slimmed down version of it and successfully did it by using superr's kitchen. and also using the kitchen i removed the encryption on the boot.img and then patched it using magisk for easy rooting without recovery. when flashed together with the modded system.img and modded boot.img and twrp, i was totally in control of my device.
If you need any help with anything mtk send me a pm
also are you able to access internal storage in twrp or not ??

I can access internal storage in twrp. There's a choice to select the internal storage. Havent backed up to it or anything. But its there. I copied a file into it through TWRP now, and it works. I think its all about the fstab. If you don't get access to internal storage, see for any red errors in TWRP output. I can look into my fstab to see what's relevant.
I have a little hiccup though. Now my network drops (both sim at a time), even during a call. But maybe its because I swapped sim 1 and sim 2. I'll let things settle and see if it will persist. In the meanwhile, I swapped sims back to original.

i wasn't able to access internal storage at first because device was encrypted beforehand. also sim issues might be caused by imei/nvram . check if your device imei matches your imei on the device box.

I created two copies in the same folder (boot.img, and boot-verified.img) and copied scatter into the same folder for flashing. That's what I saw in the firmware folder.
3. Port TWRP using Carliv Image Kitchen method. I downloaded TWRP from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/twrp-porter-maker-mediatek-mt67xx-32-t3681861 but didn't use their method. It didn't work. The TWRP for this chip was stated as android N, but worked well.
4. Flash ported TWRP after copying scatter file to the Carliv Imagekitchen output folder and selecting that scatter in SP droid tools. I again created recovery.img and recovery-verified.img. Don't know if its needed that way. You could wait and flash boot and recovery together from the same folder.
5. That's it, you can enter custom recovery now. Get that pesky "panasonic" bootaudio off the system/media folder now! You can stay content after this or proceed to root.
<nandroid backup now, including Nvram and NVdata. Just in case>
6. Download Supersu zip flashable and flash it via TWRP. https://download.chainfire.eu/1113/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214.zip?retrieve_file=1 worked for me.
7. Reboot, check root!
If you're more daredevil,
8. Download Xposed flashable zip SDK23 and flash it. Download Xposed installer and copy it to SDcard too.
9. Reboot to recovery and flash the zip. Reboot, install xposed installer. Reboot again.
You're done!
I'll upload my boot.img and ported TWRP if anyone shows any interest in this.
Cheers!
(Bonus: this phone has built in IPtables support in the kernel! I used to flash custom kernel for this ability in other Stock ROMs. AFfirewall works "out of the box"- after rooting, of course!)
Edit: uploaded my modded boot.img and ported TWRP. find it here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sM1BnyBUFN7PfncFcM7vzIet6gKt3G_L/view?usp=sharing
If you want to go the easy route, unzip the folder and flash it with sp flash. You'll be able to boot into recovery and do the other steps for rooting.

Download twrp and boot from here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sM1BnyBUFN7PfncFcM7vzIet6gKt3G_L/view?usp=sharing
download super su from the link in original post. flash iso files in the twrp boot zip (they are for the updated latest version of android 6.0.1). flash supersu via twrp. search for how to do these things.
Hello. I have an Allveiw V2 Viper S (the romanian version fo the eluga note). I got a stock rom (not from my phone) from where i took and modified both the boot.img and the recovery.img and also used the scatter from here to. I couldn`t make mtk droid tools to see my device. I managed to unlock the bootloader, but when i tried to flash the boot and recovery spft gave me a " Obtain DRAM Faild" error. Can you please help?
Thanks!

This was an impulse project. I learned many things in the way. But I have left that effort behind. So, for now: no idea. Hope google helps!

I successfully ported TWRP to Panasonic Eluga Note (MTK6753) after a four day effort. Not a dev here. First time doing this.
<TLDR? skip this>
When I started using android in my HTC HD2, every ROM was pre rooted. I took it for granted.
So I get this cheapo MTK and breaking into it is like banging head against a wall!! I was frustrated with the battery drain: Device never sleeps since the last OTA!
So I learnt SP flash tools and downgraded. ( wiped nvram and created another mess in the process- which is a different story. I solved it)
I could spend this effort and time to stop that pesky "Panasonic" bootaudio too. And that's the first thing I deleted after I booted TWRP, even before rooting.
</TLDR? skipped this>
First things first, enable ADB, enable OEM unlock in developer options, and go to bootloader to unlock it <fastboot oem unlock> THIS WILL WIPE DATA!!
Second thing: Backup nvram.img by sp flash readback and learn how to flash it back (search XDA)- Sometimes you can learn from other's mistakes too! I spent a day and half writing back IMEI and WIFI Mac.
Process (if you don't trust me and want to reproduce the steps yourself)
1. Download stock firmware. (google knows)
2. Patch boot.img so that it doesn't overwrite TWRP with stock recovery on each boot (extract by Carliv Image kitchen and hash out the three lines 663, 664 and 665 mentioning "service flash_recovery /system/bin/install-recovery.sh" in init.rc).

Brilliant Work man. I also was sort of in your situation as well . i have a panasonic Eluga A3 (Qmobile Noir E2) in my country. Stock Qmobile rom was horrendous. so i flashed the panasonic rom but hated the boot audio and the bloatware that came with it. so i decided to make a slimmed down version of it and successfully did it by using superr's kitchen. and also using the kitchen i removed the encryption on the boot.img and then patched it using magisk for easy rooting without recovery. when flashed together with the modded system.img and modded boot.img and twrp, i was totally in control of my device.
If you need any help with anything mtk send me a pm
also are you able to access internal storage in twrp or not ??

Dear sir panasonic eluga note network signal drop many time a day after installing ur ported twrp ..Pls tell me how to resolve signal drop issue..
Really wanna do it but your steps sound way complicated for "non-MTK pro guy". I have that device lying unused. it would be awesome if you could throw a "readme" file in your drive or here with simpler guidance steps like other "TWRP & root installation guide" we have for other phones. Plus You seem like you could port/build a ROM for this device and make substratum friendly. I know it's a big ask & I have a feeling that you like dark UI for that device too . Hoping for the best response.
If you're more daredevil,
8. Download Xposed flashable zip SDK23 and flash it. Download Xposed installer and copy it to SDcard too.
9. Reboot to recovery and flash the zip. Reboot, install xposed installer. Reboot again.
I have a doubt about these two steps
Should i have to flash it twice and have to download two separate file which is one flashable zip and installer. And in the next step 9th which zip file should i flash.
My questions might sound silly but i am asking so because when last time i tried i installed xposed, installed its firmware and then downloaded a module it was cynolockscreen something and applied it. It asked ne to reboot i did but then my phone crashed. Screen was going on and off then i rebooted to recovery and did a factory reset amd since then i haven't done any thing in my phone not even flashed the SuperSU...
Can you please help me with the further steps...
