I've got the phone useless and I need to flash a new ROM. The last version I had was EMUI 4.0 so I prefer any backup from this version.
Which steps do I follow to flash properly the new ROM. I've tried with some ROMS from 4pda forums but all of them keep stuck on logo and not to boot the system.
Thanks.

Hi, I recently tried flashing my defy (mb525 from Israel with an Israeli ROM) with Chinese Froyo, flashed the phone and it wouldn't boot, was like that for a while and I tried flashing many versions in hope it would unbrick him, no joy. Long story short now i have a Defy with 2.3.4 (shadow-128, not the fixed version, the undowngradeable version).
I thought maybe finally trying to restore a nandroid backup, but I don't have CWM.
Questions are:
Is there a way to install CWM through a zip file?
Can I restore a Nandroid backup without CWM (or any sort of custom recovery)?
Any other solution that can save my phone?
Thanks Y'all,
hope I will finally unbrick that bastard.
Read this for downgrade and root.

Didn't work, just like all ROMs before, it shows the moto logo, then shows, motoblur, or android or any other animation (depends on the version), and its stuck on that an not starting the phone.
if you now in 2.3.4, cannot downgrade.

it works!
Your device isn't bricked. You only have a bootloop.
Like already said, Downgrade is not possible so you should flash a ROM with your Bootloader-version and make a wipe.
while downgrading, it seems that I have used the wrong file/s. Now my phone is stuck and I need a TWRP Backup for 3.1 or 4.0 stock rom.
i didnt think a stock rom for marshmallow h60-L12 existed yet? share a link if you find it
couldn't find it .... I'v managed hardly to downgrade from 4.0 to 3.1 and the phone is now working. I used LP Rom H60_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_6.1.1 and after several tries, it installed successfully.
So I've been trying to update my Shield LTE ROW since this Friday from the stock based rom LL (version 3.1.1) to the MM-based rom (version 4.2) and spend a dozen of hours failing to update :crying:
When I install a MM-based rom the shield boots and the nvidia logo shows a few seconds and then the screen goes black. When the tablet is attached to my pc I noticed that the tablet is not turned off but booted in APX-mode.
These are the things I've tried:
Installing the recovery image 4.2 (fails)
Installing the recovery image 4.1 (fails)
Installing the recovery image 4.0.1 (fails)
Installing the recovery image 3.1.1 (works)
Installing several full and incremental OTA updates to 4.x (fails)
Installing CM 13.0 (fails)
Installing carbon 5.1.1 (works)
Followed the guides mentioned in topics: http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/help/unable-to-update-to-marshmallow-rom-t3444124 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/unofficial-update-original-shield-t3281541 (fails)
I've tried a lot of things, but now I'm out of ideas.
Has anyone a explanation why MM-based roms don't want to boot on my tablet? And has the knowledge to fix this?
All feedback is welcome and appreciated.
You are currently able to flash and boot with 3.1.1 or stuck in apx mode?
I'm able to flash and boot with 3.1.1. Only MM-based roms are stuck in apx mode when booting.
You are probably on the Lollipop boatloader still. With that bootloader MM based roms don't work. Flash the latest stock from here, root it with cf-autoroot, flash twrp and MM based roms should work.
Thanks for your advice, I'll try it this weekend.
Just a quick question, why do I need to root and flash twrp? Shouldn't it work if I only flash the latest stock?

I have unlocked my device bootloader and installed CWM recovery following the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/honor-4c-root-cwm-recovery-inshaalmirza-t3177770 was able to install CWM but I wanted to install TWRP and followed the guide by @HassanMirza01 but wasnt success to install TWRP , if I am trying to flash Marshmallow ROM using CWM or by flashing IMG files using ADB I am not able to do it. Every Time I try to flash a ROM from CWM I am getting error and while flashing IMG files using ADB the screen is being struck at boot logo.Can anyone guide me how to replace CWM with TWRP so that I can Install Marshmallow (every time while I am trying to flash TWRP it is being struck at boot logo and had to flash stock ROM to recover the phone) and install marshmallow.
Note: Initially I upgraded to Lollipop as the version was not stable and Buggy I reverted to stock version using the official guide.

You can try this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495 or some version of TWRP for honor 4x or p8lite. And then you can try to flash stock firmare using this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702. You might need to be in lollipop or marshmallow to use it.

What error did fastboot gave you when you tried to flash TWRP?
No error given but after flashing twrp device is struck at boot screen and can't move to next screen cwm flashing works fine .
Is it mandatory to have lollipop or marshmallow update to flash twrp?

I don't know how things really work or why they need stuff to work. But in TWRP thread it says for android 5.1.1 - 6.0. So I guess it's important to have some of those versions.
Is there any other way to flash lollipop or marshmallow from cwm? I even extracted update.app and flashed recovery, system , boot images individually but it also doesn't work struck at boot screen. Can I fully wipe system files from phone and re-flash lollipop or marshmallow update. Similar to full format of a PC.

No idea will that work, but one thing that comes to mind is to flash those images you did and then put UPDATE.APP in your sd card in folder named dload and do force upgrade ( power + vol up + vol down ).

Tried that too but no success. I think the problem occurred while downgrading to kitkat from lollipop maybe it corrupted the boot system. Even that is the case while flashing and wiping cache so many times it might have showed error in any of the instances but it didn't. Can't find out what actually preventing system to update.
Hey there.
So, my 6045 was on that awful MM update filled with ads, so I changed the firmware to the Panasonic one in order to be able to install TWRP and next flash either Lineage or RR.
I have no problem installing TWRP using the Idol 3 suite (Here), however, whenever I try to flash the Lineage zip, or the RR zip, it gets stuck on the Powered by Android screen.
I always wipe everything before flashing the zips.
I have tried wiping cache/dalvik after flashing them, and also not wiping. Either way, and with both roms, the phone gets stuck, and I need to use the Panasonic tool again to restore the phone to a functioning state.
Please help, I've been repeating this process about 10 times, and it's getting very frustrating.
Thanks.
EDIT: Is the version of TWRP somehow relevant for this? The latest version I can install is 3.0, from the link provided. If I try to install this one I get a bootloop. Please help.
Hi, u need to flash the MM partitons zip first then the rom . Look on AlekDev customs roms threads, he usualy has the MM partition file.
