About Root in 05Q

Hello guys!!!, Today I get the new OTA with the firmware 05Q and I install it. I see in the forum a version of 05Q rooted LINK HERE
I only want to ask if anyone know another way of get root actually or if I should wait until our amazing toolkits for 1+1 get updated.
Thanks i nadvance!!! :cyclops:

You can gain root following, This thread. If you already have a custom recovery install, might be easier to install the pre-rooted 05QA. I went the second route.
P.S. That toolkit will root 05QA, just does not have the new firmware to go back to stock.

I have a custom recovery installed ofc, if I install the pre-rooted 05Q I lost all my data and apps? Should I do a factory reset? Thanks for your fast answer mate!!

If you have custom recovery installed. Do a back up first. You should not have to wipe or lose anything.

Really thanks again mate!! I do it, like you, as soon as possible.

Wait guys, all you need to do is flash SuperSU from your custom recovery. That's it, nothing more.
@rraquib, why on earth would you tell him to flash the entire ROM again??

@timmaaa Read carefully I mentioned both option and he was wondering about the pre-rooted version.

You said that flashing entire ROM would be easier, it isn't. All that's need to get root is to flash the SuperSU zip. He's already on 05Q so flashing the ROM zip is completely and utterly pointless. It's like telling someone who's run out of petrol to install a entirely new petrol tank that's full of petrol (when all that's actually needed is the fuel).
It doesn't matter what someone thinks might be the solution, if you're going to answer in the q&a section you need to give the best and easiest solution.

The thing is flashing update-supersu is not working... for me at least. I updated OTA.. After installation finished, rebooted to TWRP and tried to install update-supersuv2.37.zip...
It doesn't show any error, but when I reboot my phone there is no supersu installed ( actually there is one but it's greyed out with android icon and not showing up on application list )

Sorry guys for don´t answer your comments, I have been working out of my country for a couple of weeks.
I get root on 05Q with just flashing SuperSU 2.46 from recovery. Easy and fast, just that.
Anyway you have my thanks in your respective buttons.

how to update r7 rooted with OPPO tools? (I did unroot but didn't work?)

hello everyone, I've r7plus rooted with OPPO tools and I decided to finally update with latest coloros OTA! so I first unrooted the R7 and then downloaded the Ota..
it does start the update.. reboot start to install(takes about 4 minutes..) but at less than half of the process it reboots and then tells me "update failed"!
I tried also with the Ota downloaded in my SD card.. with local update but same failure!
any idea how can I do this update? thanks

Just so everyone knows, it is best to not unroot the phone to install the OTA updates. Of all the times I've done it (total of 5), I had to rely on a previous version or completely reinstall the OS. The best way to go about installing the newest version would be flashing the color OS rom through the SD card. This only works if you can still access Recovery on your phone.
You'll want to go to coloros.com/rom and select on what I believe is the OPPO R7 Plus S, the versions with chinese characters should only be for the R7+ M.
Download the rom and drag it onto your SD card or phone.
Backup the phone!
Enter recovery
Select install from SD card
Select the ROM
Install the ROM
I believe the R7+ S version should be standard for all non Chinese phones, if it is not tell me so I can dig through the OPPO archives a little more. If it is not the right phone OS it will say installation failed which should not change anything.

If you download the rom, even if it wipes all the data clean you can still restore it with Color OS's backup/restore function. As for a site dedicated to R7+ f ROMs I have had little luck locating one. I'm sorry I could not be of more help.

guys i found solution to my problem.. i write it here , it might help some of you!
so what i did was WIPE all factory reset
DOWNLOAD full ROM from oppo forum and copy it into a folder in storage !
go to system update and do LOCAL UPDATE and select the entire rom(1,39GB..)
let it install , reboot and then ROOT it with oppo tools!
so basically the only thing that did not work for me was the OTA update of 135mb done with system update!
i hope it helps

My phone doesnt go into fastboot, only recovery mode is accesible. Can you please help me getting back my phone in normal condition?

Do a full wipe, data+cache, download the stock rom for your model on the computer. Move it to the sdcard and flash it using Oppo Recovery.

[Resolved] Installed TWRP on phone with a locked bootloader - now stuck in boot loop

I am new to rooting, and decided to root my Galaxy Note II SGH-i317m a few days ago. I used a method with no adb access...i think. Here's the reference thread, just in case I'm wrong: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644
I got a bit overenthusiastic, and got TWRP while forgetting to unlock my bootloader first. Now, my phone will only boot into TWRP. All 4 reboot options go back to TWRP. What is the best way to get my phone back to working? I understand that I may have to lose my data. It doesn't matter: my top priority is getting my phone to work again.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm new here.

if you can boot into recovery than try to wipe cache and dalwik cache than try to too boot again it may work

Thanks for the quick reply. I just tried that, and no change. Just to clarify, the only thing I can boot into at the moment is recovery mode.
I think what I need to do is flash the stock recovery back onto my phone. Is this a possible solution? If so, how should I go about doing it? I currently cannot access download mode.

i think u should install your current rom again if u insall stock recovery you may not able to do this with stock recovery even cant get twrp back
so..do a nandroid backup and install a rom which u like stock1 or custom1

Well, the thing is, my problem isn't with the ROM at all. It's that TWRP does not work with a locked bootloader. So the way I see it, either I need to replace TWRP with something that works with a locked bootloader, or unlock the bootloader. In your opinion, how would replacing the ROM help with my problem?

It's done. It's worth noting that my root method, linked in the OP, doesn't give adb access. I'm not sure if this changes anything.
Also, I discovered that by removing and replacing the battery, my phone can power off. From here I can access download mode. Something that might be useful, especially if the solution involves odin.

tried system restore with twrp?
try it first and if ur not sure that it will work just make backup of boot , efs , system and data(if necessary) via twrp to sd card copy the backup to pc via card reader or something and extract the system backup there should be a file named build.prop in system folder edit it and do it like this :
under #additional build properties
ro.adb.secure=0
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=1
ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.root_access=1
find the above lines and edit the parameters as i have shown to you use notepad++ to edit the file save it the last line will give ya root access by default and second last will make it debuggable just save it repack and flash with twrp cheers
hit thanks

Alright. Since I can't find another thread like this one, I will assume that I am one of the first to have this problem. Here is what I did.
I used samsung-firmware.org to find the latest firmware for my phone, which includes both ROM and recovery. Other brands probably also have a website like this.
I used Odin to flash the firmware onto my phone - this wiped my data, but removed TWRP, which is an acceptable solution to me. I might also have wiped my data while playing around with TWRP trying to fix my phone - I'm not sure.
Thanks to both EMONESSboy and [email protected] for their help. I ended up going with something similar to EMONESSboy's solution, since the commands seemed a little risky. Thanks anyways, your help is much appreciated!

If your situation is the same as mine was, I would recommend the same solution. Just to clarify - you rooted your phone? And then you installed a custom recovery, which is now the only thing you can access?
If so, you should install your stock ROM the same way you installed the rooted ROM. I'm not sure how you would go about doing that, or even if you can access that mode, since your model is not very common.

I had lollipop earlier on my phone.

Rooted with ODIN, how to get a working TWRP now?

Heyo!
So.. I recently got the 930F and rooted successful with odin, but my question is now, how do I successfully flash a working TWRP without having all the issues ppl describe below the twrp thread for sgs7?
greetz

after flashing TWRP with odin, enter your new recovery.
Wipe everything, then flash the rest of the files. You won't be able to boot otherwise.

You must in Odin remove the hook at autoreboot.
And then manually switch off the mobile phone with "Home-Vol--Power", then start with "Home-Vol+-Power" and wait until the TWRP screen comes and then let go.

can I just re-root with a method with TWRP included without worries or am I gonna brick my phone?

Why would you suggest a full wipe? Is it needed?
I did the same thing... used CF-Auto-Root to root my S7 and noticed that I didn't have TWRP. So I just downloaded TWRP Manager from the Play Store and used that to flash TWRP to Recovery. It worked perfectly as far as I can tell, no need to wipe anything.
Unless I've missed something?

The full wipe will disable data & sd encryption, so you will not face any problem while flashing roms & kernals, or creating twrp backup.

I don't know if I'm too late, but this is what I did and it was the easiest way to get TWRP.
Go to the Play Store and download 'TWRP Manager App', when on there hit 'Install TWRP', look for the SG7 type for TWRP and choose the latest datedTWRP (People tend to get Recovery is not seandroid enforcing error because they use an out-of-date recovery image).
It will say there was an error flashing recovery and give the option to Reboot or Reboot Later, but it actually has managed to get TWRP onto your phone so just reboot there and then.
Boom you have TWRP; remember the first thing to do is Format Data.
Good Luck

Format Data after TWRP Installation because our S7 phone has dm-verity and you will not be able to flash zips and ROMs properly. Formatting will get rid of that verity encryption.
Another reason why to format data after TWRP installation is because as this method does not fully get rid of stock recovery and is left dormant, so formatting the data will let TWRP read your Data.

How can I dirty flash stock emui 5 via twrp? Fails everytime.

Guys. I have tried and failed. Which exact zip do I need? Because the fullOtamf with pv fails. Which twrp do i need exactly? Because the openkirin one says error.
I flashed official arise viper system and it flashed but didn't install anything, further more my camera isn't working at all maybe because of selinux permissive I think, but I changed that to endorcing also, no luck, so I just need to dirty flash stock rom to fix it.
I'm a newbie to Huawei phones so preferably links of what twrp n file version u guys use would be highly appreciated.

It's hard to believe none of the people who viewed the post have ever flashed a stock rom via twrp. No one?
I really need some help here guys. Any advice is appreciated.

If you really need to flash it via twrp you need to download huawei update extractor and use it to create a flashable zip but that takes really long and one small mistake will ruin the firmware or your phone so i would recommend you to flash the stock recovery, update and then root, put twrp back etc.

Ok so somehow pushing volume up at boot gets me into "Huawei E-recovrry" and it says 3 things only 1) download latest software and recovery, 2) restart 3) shutdown. If I click first option it says Note: user data will be wiped after recovery install :/
Is this the one ur talking about? Can I do it without data wipe in anyway?

You could try pressing the "download latest software and recovery" button but i dont think it will work. I would recommend you to flash the stock recovery via adb and/or fastboot (create backups of course) and then update via team mt's firmware finder. After its done, unlock the phone again and root it. I dont know if it will wipe data because you have twrp on your phone. (I dont think it will wipe data but i still recommend you to make backups) NEVER EXTRACT THE UPDATE.APP AND TRY TO INSTALL THE IMAGES. I DID IT AND I GOT IN ERROR MODE.

Damn! I can't believe it's such a complicated process! I miss my Nexus now lol, it was such a breeze to flash stuff on it..
So basically there's no "dirty flashing" the stock rom... I have to install the whole firmware like it's new and then do the entire process of unlocking bootloader(which wipes everything), rooting, getting twrp, n start as new since a backup flash via twrp of my current system after that would again reinstall the incompatible viper mod that has defected my camera right now... Sigh.
I wish Huawei made it easier for people to do these things for people who want to.
Thanks for all the help! :good: I really wish there was a better way than having to start as new.

Dload doesn't clear data at all. But those files should be flashed via dload but issue is when you unlock bootloader, it will reset again.
You can flash certain files via twrp but that is data zip and not main zip file. Let me know the version you want and will try my best to help buddy.
Please give Current build and model number and new build number you are trying.
You can just restore data and it will not restore your viper mod as that is going to system partition as you flashed zip. So restoring only data will not bring back the viper mod.

I was just trying to flash same system again so that viper will be erased
I didnt try any new build yet because I'm really new to all these softwares like FWfinder and the other ones, I downloaded them but couldn't understand much sadly.
so I just did ur dload method for b361 since that is the only one I found with fullota-mf-pv version.
Is there any new build for dload available? Because I don't know how to update :/ I'm sorry for all the noob requests, I used to be such a pro at nexus lol

Let me check this mate for you. Will take sometime as will be occupied most of the time today so may or may not able to provide. You can install main zip that will remove viper but it will relock bootloader so unlocking it will erase data. Best way i think of is-
Do full twrp backup
Copy the twrp to sd card or pc
Use dload
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp
Root it
Restore backup only for data and it will not install viper.
Or
Do titanium backup of all the user app and data.
Copy to pc or sd card.
Use dload
Unlock bootloader, twrp and root.
Boot and restore titanium backup
I know these are tedious task but want to have your data intact while without messing up with the phone.
Let me know in case you need files to flash or can search..good luck.

Let me check this mate for you. Will take sometime as will be occupied most of the time today so may or may not able to provide. You can install main zip that will remove viper but it will relock bootloader so unlocking it will erase data. Best way i think of is-
Do full twrp backup
Copy the twrp to sd card or pc
Use dload
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp
Root it
Restore backup only for data and it will not install viper.
Or
Do titanium backup of all the user app and data.
Copy to pc or sd card.
Use dload
Unlock bootloader, twrp and root.
Boot and restore titanium backup
I know these are tedious task but want to have your data intact while without messing up with the phone.

I think that might work! Thanks so much for the tips!! I will try it in few days since I have my MBBS exam on Monday so after that I'll do it, but thanks alot for ur advice!
I know you're busy, I really respect that, but Just one last thing, can u tell me which is the latest version of nougat I can use with dload for my model? Can I use B374 fullota-mf? But there is no pv for that version so just want to confirm.
