Ok i noticed not many has the latest MM beta, so there you are:
NOTE: im not responsible for any damage to your phone, by proceeding knox will be tripped
Requirements:
1.- No matter what firmware you have installed, but i would recommend to start from 6.0
2.- Install TWRP
5.1.1
- Into download mode flash TWRP (AP) via Odin (UNMARK auto-reboot)
- Reboot into recovery and do a backup, very important
- Reboot into download mode again flash this kernel (AP) via Odin
- Reboot your phone
6.0
- Into download mode flash this old_bl (BL) via Odin (UNMARK auto-reboot)
- Reboot into download mode again flash TWRP (AP) via Odin (UNMARK auto-reboot)
- Reboot into recovery and do a backup, very important
- Once more into download mode flash this bootloader (BL)
- Reboot your phone
3.- Copy 6.0.1 into /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/ XXXXXXXX should be numbers and letters each phone is different, inside you should see your previews backup
4.- Reboot into recovery
only for 6.0
- Into download mode flash this old_bl (BL) via Odin (UNMARK auto-reboot)
- Now reboot into recovery
5.- Go to restore and apply the 6.0.1 backup
6.- Wipe cache and dalvik then install this superSU
7.- Reboot into download mode and flash this sboot (BL)
8.- Enjoy 6.0.1 rooted
NOTE if you have no network just rollback your EFS from your own backup to enter into TWRP you need to flash the old_bl each time and then flash back the sboot to allow the phone boot up (this due to TWRP incompatibility with the MM BL)
Give the phone some time from the first boot

Oh, bloody hell. Just went back to 5.1.1 now I want to try this. Sod it, Ill let a few of you be guinea pigs first.
Nice one OP.

I will give it a try this evening but I must go on 6.0 before!
any link for xposed marshmallow?

Not working for me, it just boots back into recovery and won't even think about booting the ROM at all.

Everything works! Thanks a lot mate!!!

Damn , my download crash @ 1.3Go .... And impossible to download again -_-

Went for it in the end, patience got the better of me. Works fine, and is booting now.
Will update after a bit of use
EDIT: No Mobile Signal/Mobile Network settings

Hi, backup have a efs partition. We must also restore?

You need to flash old bootloader if you want custom recovery...
Nevermind I will wait for official update....

right, rom is running, but no signal due to "Unknown" Baseband.
baseband from rom wont work
6.0 baseband wont work
5.1.1 baseband even wont work. maybe there is a bug in the experimental twrp version to install 6.0 modems.
Maybe there is a possibility to fix it with an odin 6.0.1 modem file.

to load recovery you need ALWYAS to flash back the old_bl while there is a TWRP compatible with the MM BL

I'm affraid that with the restoration of your EFS partition we have bricked our phone. This must be the reason for no baseband version and no IMEI anymore...

Maybe or maybe is just the modem related issue in working on it, you could try to restore your EFS partition from TWRP and report back to discard this

I have made the mistake to overide mine with yours, I don't have it anymore... That's my mistake...

I can't restore my EFS, don't know why.... I will flash my stock firmware and then I will see. How long does it take to fix no baseband issue on this 6.0.1? I'm trying to fix this F**** issue for 6 hours.... No result!

1.- flash back the EFS backup fro your own
2.- flash the modem.bin that im extracting (will upload in a moment)

Im from Macedonia. I restored my telekom firmware, here is new version whit 2016.02.01 security patches. The backup is mine, i created this morning when i updated my phone. My model is 6045Y, but backup from 6045I work on my model.
Any chance to enter in bootloader? Or to flash rom from tcl 806i in stock recovery.
My phone restart when Lock Screen is appear. No way to enter in developer menu and make debugging on.

you can try to shut down the device for some hours (10?). and then try to power it up again.
the last thing you can do (in my opinion).
Is to hardflash the Panasonic Eluga Switch firmware (dont worry Panasonic eluga Switch is renamed TCL i806 which is rename dAlcatel Idol 3).
here is the link: firmwarefile.com/panasonic-eluga-switch
then when it goes well, then try to get to stock by using mobile upgrade Q (at least version 5.0.0)

I wouldnt suggest you to flash a firmware if i know that it will end in bootloop. I flashed and used Eluga rom for a week with no problem on my 6045Y.
Mobile upgrade should work on any IDOL device.

-Theoretically it should work with the sotck kernel. before you run the update, you can try to change the kernel for your stock one.
-What exactly do you mean under "Not work mobile upgrade". Have you tried the latest one (5.0.6). Its on my google drive.

When you power off your device and put it on charge it shoudnt boot up. It should just turn on and show the battery icon and start charging.
As i mantioned above. Some guy here on IDOL3 thread said that he had a bootloop but he power off th edevice for some hours and then it boots up normally.
Next time dont restore 6045I TWRP backup on your 6045Y device

What could be a problem?

cyanogenmod does it too just not as mutch it happens only like one or twice since I changed the file system. Sometimes not even once or twice. I Switch roms alot though. If you want to try this just hit me up and I will give you instructions on how to do it. You have to have a rom ready to flash and go when you do it.

Why there is no INSTALL ZIP in CM Recovery only INSTALL UPDATE?
Is it the same?
Regards
RJ
PS.
I try both CM and TWRP Recovery, and phone stuck on CM logo.

Try re-downloading rom from cm site and put on sd card then go to recovery and do a full wipe by clicking advanced then check mark all boxes except the sd card box. Then flash rom. Your install scripts are in meta inf folder. dont tinker with it.

I have done all those instructions before, but it always stuck at the CM logo.
I have even tried format /data/ partition on f2fs (I have found such solution on this forum) but no results.
Maybe I should try older CM ROM?

That the newest version lollipop should work on it. Try changing system to ext4 but swipe factory reset first then click data then change to ext4 then swipe factory reset again then flash rom. Try a a different lollipop ROM. I'm currently using DU. But they all work if you can't flash anything I have been working on stock version of the last 4.4.2 and finally got it to flash via twrp 2.8.6.0. It has root and xposed and app ops adblocker and just got init.d to work just need to do a quick rebuild so init.d sticks via kernel auditor. You can flash it just to get your device going if all else fails.

Mine doesn't reboot and has been optimized. Also try a different ROM to flash but like DU or Mokee there's plenty of other ones. But try changing system to ext4 first. Then flash. I gave you directions on that in post few minutes ago. Try it and see if it works.

Returning to the main topic of this tread.
I have noticed that when I have MOBILE DATA turn off
the restarts do not occur.

Is it possible to flash CM 11 via twrp 2.8.6.0?

I have found the solution of this issue.
The problem is with the FAST DORMANCY service.
When it is active but provider does not support it
it causes problem.

[6039] How to root after downgrade from MM to LL ?

Hello guys,
I create this thread because I'm facing a difficulty. Here is the situation :
- my 6039Y was rooted and on LL (5.0.2) rom : everything was fine
- still, I wanted to try Marshmallow, so I decided to switch to MM stock rom thanks to Mobile Upgrade Q
- after that, my phone got unrooted and battery life was much worse, si I decided to revert to LL rom : thanks to AlcatelFlasher tool I put back a recovery partition with TWRP, and I loaded a full LL backup that I created
(AlcatelFlasher tool : http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/tool-sahara-firehose-test-alcatel-t3454855)
--> everything went fine, but the problem is that I cannot root my phone anymore ! I unlocked bootloader, but nothing happend when I try to install SuperSU 2.46. The message says everything went fine but it is still not rooted.
Any idea of how to root my phone again ? Thanks a lot

Alcatel flasher isn't ready to write any other partition than boot and recovery yet. What kind of LP backup have you done? Nandroid? Have you simply restored it over MM ROM?

Hi : I had done a full Nandroid backup (10Gb !) that I fully restored here... still, does not work
I was thinking about using a VPN and connect with an ip of a country where MM update is not available : maybe it will restore my phone to proper stock LL ?

No, it depends on your device variant&region (or CU reference).
Maybe you can ask somebody with stock LL to share a full backup of his entire list of partitions (can get it through ADB dd method) and restore them in your phone.
Type *#07# on dialer and post your CU ref.

Error 7 flashing custom rom

Hi all,
I've been trying to get resurrection remix working on my honor 8 for a few days without luck. I've tried following the instructions in the OP as well as flashing update.zip/ update_full_hw_usa.zip and I tired the vendor.zip from the LOS thread.
Every time I try and flash the rom (it also happens if I try the LOS rom) TWRP gives me error 7.. I believe this means incompatible device?
I have been formatting the partition before flashing as well as clearing dalvik cache and factory resetting. My device is the Chinese model (AL10) so I think that's why I'm having issues..
Perhaps I need to flash an international version of Huawei's software first?
Any help appreciated!

What version of TWRP did you install?

Bro u should be in version of emui 5 and flash the twrp openkirin edtion nougat one .
1,Then format data > type yes and reboot again to twrp
2.flash the full rros 600+ mb zip and over it flash rros latest one and done . reboot to system.
If you experience random reboots format the data once.

If u have newest twrp, u do format data twice? Once and after reboot recovery and make second

I'm not currently on that version of twrp - I did try it but without luck - I'll try it again tonight.
I think I have the correct rr zip, it's in the op of the thread and is over 600mb as you say.
Thanks!

Yep, like I said, I've done both in combination and again after rebooting

Does anyone know if I need to decrypt manually or is this done automatically by flashing?

Sorry I'm not sure what f2fs is..

So I am definitely on openkirin's TWRP 3.1.1-1-frd and I cannot even format or factory reset. When I try to format data I get the message:
mkfs.f2fs -t 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p49 process ended with ERROR: 255
Unable to wipe Data.
Unable to format to remove encryption
When I try and factory reset I get the following:
Failed to mount '/data' (Device or resource busy)
Maybe my issue is encryption?

Yes it was encryption issue , after reboot your encryption will be removed.and you can format the data without any errors

I think I'd corrupted the data partition as its size was shown as 0. After fixing it the ROM flashed! Only thing now is it says no sim.. I'm using a 4g/LTE sim card

I've restored a backup to EMUI and camera doesn't work =/
I've also noticed something interesting; on the back of my phone it says AL10, EMUI about reports it as AL00 but RR rom also has AL10.. I think my version may have something to do with the sim issue? I see a lot of people saying you need to update officially first but mine has none available..

Camera don't work because u restore twrp backup, right?

Yeah, why does that happen?

Relay don't know, I have same issue after retore twrp backup you need to flash full firmware for bring camera back

No worries, cheers.
Any ideas on getting my sim card to work? I'm thinking of rolling back my firmware and trying again (as I'm currently on the NRD90M test-build)..

Sorry, I don't know if I understand - you just flashed the LOS rom and it fixed it or you needed to flash a fixed vendor.zip?
I restored a backup of EMUI and sim card is working now so it seems it's only on LOS and RR roms that is doesn't work

No problems, I appreciate your help! I understand - I did have broken camera before and it fixed when I flash a fresh zip. I think it is broken now because I restored a backup in twrp. I'm just not sure how to get my sim card working in RR or LOS roms..
