Sorted it now
If stuck at bootscreen turn off device, then hold power button and volume up to enter standard android recovery mode, then select clear dalvic and clear cache, reboot and that sorted it

i discovered that i can enter cwm recovery
But i made a full wipe, it still doesn't help.
Do i need to flash in offical rom?? Where can i find hk's rom??
Thx and please help

If you still have CWM recovery, then your attempt to ODIN the stock ROM did not work.
What version CWM do you have?
Find the stock ROMs here, but make sure your model is p3100 not P3113 or similar.

I didn't use ODIN to recover. I just had a full wipe but it doesn't work.
I am having CWM on V6.0.1.0
Is the following process correct?
Open Odin-> Tablet in download mode-> Connect-> Choose the downloaded zip in PDA column
THX !!!

you can;'t use a zip file in odin
you have to extract the contents and point to the .tar.md5 file
example P3100ZTOLP3_P3100UBLP7_HOME.tar.md5

PhilZ Installation for Arter97 Kernel help

Just got the the Tmobile N920T and am not able to find PhilZ installation instructions to start arter97's kernel process. The download link is broken for version 6 at the developers thread so I'm really not sure how to get this started. Any guidance is appreciated. No SD card so Odin preferred if possible.

1: copy arter97's zip file kernel and supersu to your internal sdcard
2: odin flash arter97's philz recovery
3: power down the phone
4: go into philz recovery mode by pressing the home/power/vol-up keys
5: flash the zip file kernel and supersu in recovery
That's it!
Good luck!

Thanks for the quick response. I am getting stuck flashing recovery @ "NAND Write Start!!" In Odin 3.07 and 3.09 for some reason. Maybe should be using another version? USB debugging and OEM unlock enabled.

Worked like a charm, thanks a lot man!! Looked most promising out so far but confusing as hell for a guy that some what knows his way around. Confirmed with root checker.

Am I missing something?
I can't find "arter97's zip file kernel and supersu "
I downloaded and installed Supersu already from the play store.
I rooted via "noble"
and as of right now I have twrp.
I would like to switch to philz
When I go to Arter97's page I am only able to download a tar file.
There is no zip, and if I try to flash the tar file via odin, odin force closes.
Thanks in advance.

bricked MT7 09 ----PLS HELP-----SOLVED

I was on B510 rom then tried to flash twrp of the same . now the mobile is bricked . no acces to stock recovery and the
3 button update method is also not appearing
have tried flashing through adb almost all stock and custom recoveries without any success.
Only recovery working is the TWRP for B510 that too is not possible to flash any recovery flashable rom zip files ( Kangvip rom ).
Please somebody help me to get rid of this boot stuck...Thanks.

im facing a similar situation. i hope someone helps.

I am experiencing exactly the same issue.
Upgrade to B510 worked (it booted) but after installation of TWRP for MM the phone got into an bootloop. TWRP 2.8.7.0_6 is the only recovery which is able to start, it is impossible to get any older ones to start up. The stock recovery image from B510 is the only stock recovery which is able to start up, also it is possible to force the update for UPDATE.APP s on the internal memory, unfortunately there is no package avaiable which does not fail to install, as there are just partial updates for 6.0 and no full package and all other full packages are 5.1 or less. The downgrade B510-B354 seems to expect system files from B510 and as i got KangvipB354v2A flashed, those are not available. Also my nandroid backup from 5.1.1 won't boot up (does 6.0 expect an other kernel in the boot.img, was the bootloader changed during the update to 6.0?).
So we definitely need to get either one of those files to get our phones working again:
1. boot.img, cust.img and system.img (we've already got recovery.img)
2. or a complete nandroid backup of a working B510
3. or a full version UPDATE.APP of any MM rom
I would really appreciate if someone with a working B510 could provide one of these!

I not tested cwm, because i never had KK on my phone.
It seems to me that if you have LP and install recovery KK , it can be a problem.
Look at xda how to make roolback LP - > KK , then if you already have ori KK, install CWM for KK and restore previous copies .

If I try the mobopx tool it says, "device not found", but write successful.
in the link for step 2 there is a link to 9 files that can be downloaded individually or zipped.
If you try to install the zip file it fails, if you put the zip in the twrp backup folder, twrp doesn't see it, if you put the files individually in the twrp backup folder, twrp doesn't see them. If you create a file called back-ups in the external sd card, same results.
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

I finally got it working flashing another backup file over the one in this thread. But I am still having a few problems.....My internal memory is only showing 3.85GB total....I think my other system is still somehow installed or there are residual files I can't see.
WIFI and Bluetooth don't work.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Boot.img updated. Cheers

Sounds interesting thanks as I keep getting errors trying to flash SuperSU or Magisk.
I'm on firmware k53_s123_170216_ROW so I will be able to use your boot.img but how would one go about getting the boot.img to modify ? The Nandroid backup is in the boot.emmc.win format and the whole partition I suppose ?

Oops so I flashed your boot.img :
tools>fastboot flash boot boot.img
target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes
sending 'boot' (24894 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.816s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 0.331s]
finished. total time: 1.151s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At the end on the screen it says in green at the top "flashing boot ...", rebooted into TWRP 3.0.3.0 with long "VOL UP+VOL DOWN" + "POWER" press.
Tried to install :
- UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.78-20160905010000.zip (the one you mention)
- SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip
- Magisk-v12.0.zip
But they all fail unfortunately, same error message as before flashing your boot.img :
Magisk12 error :
"Unable to unpack boot.img"
SuperSU error :
"-Extracting ramdisk
--- Failure, aborting"
My model is K53a48

ok, I updated to TWRP-3.1.0.1_K53a48_by_SevenMaxs.7z and I was able to flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip without errors. All booted up and SuperSU in the app drawer and rooted, thanks for the tips, man !
A few more questions if I may :
- is there a stock recovery to put back the K6 Note in factory mode ?
- how does one go about getting the boot.img out of a device for patching ?

If will not modify the boot.img what will gonna happen?
Thanks to this furom....Really help for me

Do you have a custom kernel?

Why don't you want to use the patched boot.img ?
You tried with the new TWRP-3.1.0.1 and it doesn't work ?

You cannot flash supersu without the modified boot image.
You need to flash the recovery and modified boot image to successfully flash supersu.

To receive OTA's you need to be on stock recovery, and stock boot image without any modification to the system partition.

Can the stock recovery be downloaded anywhere ? Thanks !

as for custom roms i dont think thats gonna happen anytime soon, and there is nothing like official custom recovery, there is only custom recovery like TWRP or CMW.

Hi there, mate. If I do this process, will I be able to remove TWRP if needed (for updating reasons), if so, what would the process be?

So you can't reflash the original recovery ? So that means no more OTA updates, but would it still work with an official update that was downloaded, assuming one becomes available ? Thanks !

I was able to unlock bootloader, installed twrp and root according to your guide
and
also successfully returned to original stock 6.0 rom, stock recovery according to androidmtk's Lenovo_K53_USR_S107_1609131839_Q00380_ROW firmware.
This is a new toy for me now. Many thanks...:laugh:

Can you explain how you went back to stock?

Hi
Device cant update via ota. I dont really know K53_USR_S107_1609131839_Q00380_ROW firmware is last for some region or not. So Im trying to update to stock K53_S123_170216_ROW firmware. After testing and solving ota I will write all steps.

ok, thanks, I suppose it need to be downloaded first somewhere ?
