How to Create a (NANDroid Backup) for the manufacturer Stock ROM before rooting? - Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Evening everyone,
I'm a beginner in rooting of any huawei's smartphone,
Now i own "Huawei Ascend mate 7 32gb" model "TL-10" purchased within UAE country, I would like to root the phone in simple way in order to be able to return it back to its stock status as an new original product.
All i am focused on is to backup the original stock ROM that contains the stock recovery, and then rooting it to the way that i could get OTA updates if possible.
I've read many threads, but lately one of my friends suggested me to directly go to a website "www.kingroot.com" but i haven't done anything yet and i want to hear your advices and steps to be done first before rooting the device.
In the attachment there is the Phone (ROM + Update details):
First image describes: "Available Update (after purchasing the device)"
Second image describes: "Device ROM, Kernal, etc details."
Thanks for reading, waiting your suggestions.
Best regards,

there is no original rom for huawei gr3 tag-l13?

MEXICO, October 3, 2016
HELLO, GOOD EVENING, FORUM:
I hope someone can help me in this.
I bought this phone HUAWEI GR3 TAG-L13 TELCEL branded from my country, México, in a monthly plan, which I think is engaging.
It seems to me an excellent device, of course, with some deficiencies, but in attempting to root with SuperSu I left it in an eternal bootloop.
Tried, unsuccessfully, remove it from that state by several methods. I looked up, like many other users, as I saw on Google, tirelessly for many days without getting any method...
The official website of Huawei does not offer any firmware for this device in the country and telephone carrier; there is simply NO official firmware for it!, only the OPEN SOURCE, on which is must compile the firmware, knowledge that the user basic not have about the topic. As a result it is impossible to reinstall the operating system specific for this device, not until Huawei releases compiled firmware (UPDATE.APP, UPDATE.ZIP).
In the end, I resorted to the method described in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...oy-5s-t3433527
This method really works, I have recovered my device and operate, although under the operating system of the carrier TIM (the only download found, as explained in the post mentioned, but is for the specific device TAG-L22, being my own TAG-L13 device operated by Telcel); However, I am determined to fully restore my device to use the functions [IMEI and SIM non-operating loss] and [plan] benefits of my carrier.
I have not resorted to my carrier's Service Center for obvious reasons.
So I come to this forum, of which I hope to get some help, this consisting of that any user of this service have the same device in Mexico and have make a back or attempt to successfully backup your operating system HUAWEI GR3 (TAG-L13) (TELCEL MEXICO - C17B103) ANDROID 5.1, EMUI3.1 [which must be and it has left the factory, i.e. without modifications, or make a previously hard reset], It is required to install recovery Team Win Recovery Project, TWRP, (explained in the same post linked above) and make a TWRP backup or the method Online Nandroid.
NOTE:
If you want to ROOT the device, BE CAREFUL:
SuperSu caused the problem of bootloop on my device, by that, alternatively, install the root of KingRoot_4.9.6_APKTrunk.apk to the device if necessary, or find any other method in Google, and must BE CAREFUL with this part, to avoid the dreaded bug bootloop. For this reason I RECOMMEND STRONGLY to TWRP INSTALL and perform the corresponding BACKUP BEFORE performing any other operation on the device, if is arrived at require reinstalling the same for any problems, included this bootloop.
The objective of this request is that user who has made or makes the suggested backup or have full operating system intact to raise that much-needed support from the operating system to this forum to do the recovery of my device.
I have found these ways to create a file update.zip to flash the operating system suitable to my device; therefore I require this endorsement, which motivates me to write this request to the Forum, waiting for any possible help.
I am infinitely grateful first attention to this request, and of course, the positive response to it; and reward to the possible favorable support of Forum, I commit myself to upload it this .zip file with the corresponding guidelines or referrals for help from someone who had the same problem.
Thank you sincerely.
.D.: Have uploaded or will upload this request to others forums in hopes of a prompt solution. I offer an apology for my bad English.
Hi
I'm from Mexico too and have the same problem with same model and carrier TAG-L13 Telcel ... I can't found rom and even try 2 or 3"custom roms" like that thread TIM image .... with that the device works but there's no signal ( No sim detected and no Imei info )
I think maybe if install xposed and change IMEI maybe carrier would recognize it but not ....
I'll continue searching and wait to respond from forum member's too
I really hope someone can help us
Note:Even tried to ask Huawei's service and the only answer they gave me was " Send it to Service Center , wait 1 month or more and of course we will charge you "
P.D. Sorry for my bad english too XD
Regards

I spend the same friend and I could finally solve the original rom Telcel, everything works 100% I leave the link of the official website, I hope you serve like me. The recovery process is from the stock if your computer does not start or follow the instructions in the PDF that comes in the folder that is generated when you unzip the file, greetings.

ROOT & Stock ROM for SM-J727S Galaxy J7 May 2017

Hi guys,
I was hoping someone could help me out. I have rooted before (long time ago) but I can't seem to find a lot of information on this specific phone (SM-J727S). I have been searching online (and across many dodgy looking websites, thanks No Script!) and this is about all that I have found:
The Galaxy J7 is also known as the Galaxy Wide 2 in South Korea
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=device&id=11601&c=samsung_sm-j727s_galaxy_wide_2
It was released on May 2017, runs Android 7.0 (Nougat) and uses the Exynos chipset
TWRP has a release for the J700 series but I'm not sure if it would work on the J727S
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxyj7exynos.html
The source code for the system has been released, but I couldn't find a stock ROM (which made me reluctant to try TWRP)
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=j727s
This is the closest I got to a Stock ROM but I don't trust the site, is this site trustworthy? (again, I came across too many dodgy sites to just download anything)
https://stockromupdate.com/2017/07/26/stock-rom-sm-j727s-samsung-galaxy-wide-2/
The KingRoot method currently will not work and is asking me to wait for an update (phone is probably too new to root?)
The closest thing I can find on this forum are these posts (but none reference the J727S model)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/root-sm-j727p-galaxy-j7-perx-td-lte-t3611202
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/help/root-sm-j727p-galaxy-j7-perx-galaxy-j7-t3598117
So, I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance
I'd thought I'd mention that the bootloader is unlockable in this phone. I had read elsewhere that other people cannot access the 'OEM Unlock' option on their version of the J7. It isn't the case with this phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/help/galaxy-j7-pop-galaxy-halo-t3647805/page2
I also got a message from Google talking about my accounts being accessed by a 'J7 Pop'. I guess the Galaxy Wide 2 is also known as the J7 Pop?
So, I'm still on the track of rooting this device. I'm just gonna update any relevant stuff here.
The closest TWRP that I can find is for the 2016 version of this phone, it has the same Exynos chipset.
I'm thinking of trying this, but are there any problems with flashing the wrong version of TWRP? (Will I brick the phone? Or will it just error-out on recovery and boot normally?)
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxyj72016exynos.html
I also found (what I believe to be) the Stock ROM for this type of phone, you have to sign up to the site in order to download it. It is specific to SK Telecom (Korean telecommunications provider)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/samsung-galaxy/SM-J727S/SKC/download/J727SKSU1AQD6/172065/
If someone can advise about going forward with the similar TWRP version I'd appreciate it. Cheers!
EDIT: Kinda answered my own question, from the TWRP download page https://dl.twrp.me/j7xelte/
Downloading an image for a different device, no matter how similar, usually does not work.

Any way to request an TWRP version?
I am Korean, and it's very hard It's angry me............................
XDDDD I'm from South Korea too and the J727S is customized with the Knox Enrollment Service that blocks the wifi and cellular data AND apk installization. (trying to uninstall it )
I found this: https://www.androidinfotech.com/2018/02/root-samsung-galaxy-wide-2-sm-j727s-nougat.html
anyone habe twrp for this model ????
Hi.. I've this model also.. tried to downgrade..but it can't..always failed
My friend was installing the twrp to root a J7 metal.
Now the cell phone does not restart, and I do not know what the **** it did KKkkkkkkkkkk
It wants to remove the twrp without formatting the device.
If installing the original rom by Odin using home_csc does it return to normal without formatting?
Restore

P.S did he have it backed to Google if so Google will give the option to restore when you sign in !
Very hard to find twrp or cwm foe this model..also the combination file..and upgreded to android 9..

Questions regarding Updates, unlocked BL and custom roms.

Hi guys,
I actually own a Mate 10 pro, but the Mate 10 forum is quite dead tbh, since both devices are so similar, I hope I can get some answers here
Hi guys,
Although I'm not a totally newbie, I mean I installed Honeycomb on the OG Desire watch out for the volume tho, but I'm totally new to the Huawei thing, although I've owned a Ascend Mate 7 and a P9+ I never went as far as looking for root and custom ROMs, and I'm specially not educated in the whole architectural changes that treble brings.
So I've a few questions, and hopefully someone can clear some of them for me.
1- Unlocked BL means no OTA right? Also not via Firmware Finder?
2- Running stock, if a new update pops up on the web, I download the .zip and extract everything. I can flash the systems but I'm missing lots of things there, fixes on the kernel, and other stuff. Should I flash them all? Is it recommend? Or are the risks to high? Should I wait for the specific rom to be signed for my IMEI or am I okay as long as I choose the right branding (Europe for me).
3- And having magisk root... Does will it make flashing a new update any complicated?
4 - (and the last), when running a AOSP rom, is it possible/recommend to extract a new stock kernel and flash it when an update is available?
Thanks a lot

Sprint LG G7 flashed to G710ULM. Want to update. Need help

I got a Sprint LG G7 phone from the bay that has been unlocked and flashed to G710ULM Firmware running Android 8.
I want to update to Android 10 if possible. I've never 'hacked' into a phone but am very familiar w/ hacking gaming consoles and feel like I am in familiar territory. With that said, I've read many existing guides and tutorials but have some questions?
1) How do i create (or find) a backup to my current FW in case of errors, etc.
2) Will flashing a FW from another country (Korea, Canada, etc.) render the network services (w/ Sprint) I have useless? In fact, will updating ANY FW render my networking services useless?
3) Do I attempt to flash an updated FW of the original Sprint model (G710PM) or an updated version of the FW that is flashed on the device (G710ULM)
4) Do i need to do an intermediate step of flashing an Android 9 FW or can i go straight to Android 10.
I apologize if any of these questions are redundant to any currently existing guides or posts. I did my due diligence of looking everything up as best as possible before posting these questions. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm newbie, but i try answer you in my understanding, and of course, i take no responsibility if something unfortunate happens :angel:
1/ i dont know any way to backup whole phone, but you can flash current FW (G710ULM) again via cross flash.
2/ i dont use Sprint, but my network service is work properly with Android 10 eu, canada and ulm (lasted is Pie), you can try...
3/ yes, via cross flash (update: there is no KDZ or Dump available. Probably in the future there will be dumps of 710PM but for now there is no).
4/ no, you can flash any version, any model (except tmobile) by cross flash way.
Hi. I know this is an old post, but does op still have Sprint firmware backed up?
If you do, I would love to get it from you. I can't seem to boot off other ULM firmware and I think I need an up-to-date Sprint backup abl, laf, boot, and possibly more. If you don't, have fun with your device and have a good day.

Help updating Insignia Tablet NS-14T004

I'm really hoping someone here can help me with this. I was recently given an Insignia Tablet model NS-14T004.When I got it charged, and began looking at the apps, etc it was running, I started trying to update it, only to find out about it's history with Best Buy, being discontinued by Insignia, not supported for updates, etc. It currently has Android 4.2.2 OS, so is it possible for me to update it to run a more modern version, and if so, can I get some help with it, please? Thank you
The steps you've to do
Check tablet's bootloader is unlockable
If unlockable then find a Custom Recovery suitable to your tablet
If found then find a Custom ROM suitable to your tablet
If found
Unlock booloader
Flash Custom Recovery
Flash Custom ROM
Thanks, I'll start looking that stuff over now
