I have canvas 2 which already had jelly bean when I bought it.It is NOT ROOTED currently. I bought it from snapdeal. I have 32 bit windows 7. I researched alot on the internet, Nothing happened. I read many tutorials on xda developers. Still no use. I want to get back to ICS(ice cream sandwich) and then root it. There was a tutorial on how to downgrade from jb to ics in xda. I tried it. When i put in clockworkmod and do it, and then reboot my phone in recovery mode, there are options like restore data, backup data. I went in restore but nothing happens.I also tried mobileuncletools and selected the recovery image, it says that you need to root first. I also tried the flash method, but again, I have driver problem on my pc. When I choose scatter loading and firmware-->upgrade then insert my mobile without battery or sim card through usb cable, the usb sounds keep popping and nothng happens. After sometime, the flash tool says error. and the green circle doesnt appear. So to downgrade, I need to root. To root I need to flash which I can't. Someone please HELP!!!!!

i am not responsible for damaged devices though this may not happen warning Please make backup of system after installing recovery MTK tools for some odd reason due to lack of proper drivers wont detect ur phone
Hello to all BLU vivo iv users this thread is for gaining root access after updating your blu vivo iv to 4.4.2 usually it can't be rooted properly u can get root via recovery install method but root explorer and other root apps will not get proper su access but it won't work or will fail constantly to complete system operations meaning u can't edit system at all!!!:crying:
I made an insecure boot.img with more adb access seeing that it does not have much developer options in settings it still wont but this boot img will allow proper root.
first u must install Carliv recovery from here not my work this is for Gionee elife s5.5 but vivo iv is same device so it's safe tested myself :http://elifes55.blogspot.com/2014/07/guidegionee-elife-s55-cwmroot-required.html
use mobile uncle from market and update recovery choose recovery.img first item at top of the list the downloaded recovery img must be in base of internal storage do not place in any folders!!!
after that reboot to recovery vol up + power scroll with vol keys power to select scrool to install zip then scroll down to install from internal sdcard choose "bootimgADB.zip" wait for install to finish wipe dalvik and cache (ps when doing this it takes about a min or two idk why just dont panic and think your phone is stuck)
after that procedure continue to rooting using Vroot / root genius
Vroot: http://vrootdownload.org/
Root genius: http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
download root checker from market to check for root

please install supersu.zip after boot img flash in recovery then root over with root genuis
Thanks a lot for that information. There is not a lot of help aroudn for Vivo iv owners!!!
I have a problem before i reach 4.4.2, as the OTA update will not install correctly.
I have a rooted phone, with recovery installed.
I downloaded the OTA update, installed it, then it booted to recovery and gave the following errors:
CWM automade 10.07.20014 00:34:23
E:Invalid command argument
Finding update package...
E:unknown volume for path [/storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip]
E:Can’t mount /storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip
Installation aborted.
Any idea what this means? I tried unrooting my phone, and installing the OTA update again, but it gave the same error. I have emailed Blu, but i'm sure they will be unhelpful. I've tried googlin, and other people (with different devices) with similar errors from OTA updates say you cannot install the update.zip directly from recovery otherwise it gives:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device" == "**********" || "ro.build.product" == "*************"
E:Error in /sdcard/downloaded_rom/***********.zip
...errors. Which from some peoples replies also gets their phone stuck on bootloop, so I don't want to try that.
Any ideas how to get this OTA kitkat update installed? Did yours update normally (with.without root/recovery)?
Thanks in advance

did u try choose zip from internal then update.zip but still try to get the update.zip for me
yes it would install with root but not custom recovery i kept my stock recovery cuz i knew blu would be releasing KITKAT btw amigo OS ruined KITKAT its like if it didn't update at all
hmm u have the answer at the start custom recovery may not install an official rom update though i may be wrong but if u can get the update.zip where it downloaded on your storage i can poke around and design it to flash via custom recovery
please in future do NOT!!!! install custom recovery before official update it gives probs
since u have the recovery there is an miui rom u can try to install from gionee elife s5.5 make sure u backup though its based on 4.2.2
thanks very much! I will upload the update.zip. I really only need kitkat for an app I am trying to use (which only works on 4.3 and newer) so the MIUI rom won't be of use to me.
If you could have a poke around and create a custom recovery that will boot it, that would be amazing, I will upload the update.zip now. I would forever be in your gratitude.
Also is there a way of removing custom recovery from the phone?
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
P.S. yes I also tried to install from zip using the custom recovery, but it said it couldn't mount /sdcard0 or /system or anything when I tried. I think the best option is for me to find a method of removing my custom recovery?
Th elink to the KitKat 4.4.2 update.zip is here: http://we.tl/FGgNDO2ts2
It will only be available online until the 31st August, so if anyone wants to download it/play with it etc... then do so before then.
Thanks a bunch!

Possible Vanilla KITKAT rom
took rom from blu life 8 ported it it booted but got stuck on starting apps once boot.img seems to be giving the errors just have to pull boot from life 8
Pretty sure i've hard bricked it now
Tried to flash the update.zip using SP flashtool, but my phone wont even turn on/go to recovery now.. Computer detects it, but just a blank screen ... going to see if fastboot works, then try and manually install the boot.img etc...

I have tried all combinations of buttons, but the screen just won't turn on. When I press power+volume up+volume down, the flash on the back, flashes once... but thats it... why is there no information about bricked vivo iv's or gionee elife s5.5's on the internet

Just downloading now.
I was using the drivers that windows installs 'from the phone' when you plug it into windows. Those drivers worked fine... I then started messing around with downloaded drivers (probably all the same ones you have tried) and all of them just did the same thing or didn't work.
FYI, MTK Tools no longer detects my phone. It only detected it when it was booted (in CWM for me, I never tried it when it was actually working, in the OS). My phone only gets detected in 'device manager' and 'SP flashtool' sometimes.
I can upload all the drivers I tried downloading, but I think the more drivers you install, the more incompatibility there is... In the end I downloaded USBDeview and uninstalled all the 'phone' related drivers on my computer, then just used the drivers that automatically get installed when you plug your phone in.
I'm just researching how to flash this system.img file you have uploaded (thanks), using SP Tools. If you've done it before could you let me know how? I don't want to mess anything else up now.
Thanks.
I managed to install Gionee Elife s5.5 ROM using SP Flashtool easily, and my phone now works!! Well, sort of.
The screen keeps freezing, touch screen keeps now working (have to press sleep button, to refresh it).
I am hoping the OTA update will fix all these problems! Fingers crossed...
I really want to get the Blu Vivo iv firmware though, as there are loads of chinese characters on this phone, even with English language on.
If anyone could backup their phone using MTK tools, and upload the entire backup for me and everyone else that needs it, that would be great! Then anyone who bricks their phone could unbrick it by flashing the firmware useing SP Flashtool!
Thanks for eveyrone's help especially taalibj01!!!! You are a legend!
Don't know how it's possible but here it is Blu Firmware files!!!!!

If you have bricked your Blu Vivo iv, or installed a custom recovery therefore could not upate OTA to KitKat 4.4.2, look here!
So everyone who needs to flash the new KitKat firmware from Blu follow these instructions!
Download the following file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qt0i6d2og8ge0sc/BLU_D970l_V11_GENERICK_T8493.zip?dl=0
(Supplied by the amazing 'taalibj01')
If you have not previously installed the MTK drivers (usually installs from the phone when you plug it into the computer) please download and install from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x8umdofqgw..._Test.rar?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yk08ekq3hf...336.1.rar?dl=0
Also download/extract SP Flash tool from here (latest version): http://androidxda.com/smart-phone-flash-tool
Before you start, when you connect your 'powered off' phone via USB cable whilst holding the up button, your phone should be recognised in 'device manager' as 'MTK COM USB (COM4)' or something similar, under the 'Ports (COM & LPT)' section. If it is not, then you need to install the relevant drivers (above).
Now you are ready to get started.
Turn off your Vivo iv phone and disconnect it from USB.
Unzip the BLU_D970l_V11_GENERICK_T8493.zip file to any location.
Open SP Flash Tool, and click the 'scatter-loading' button.
Navigate to the unzipped BLU_D970l_V11_GENERICK_T8493 firmware folder.
Double click the MT6592_Android_scatter.txt file
SP Flash Tool will then list all of the files it has read form the scatter file and automatically 'tick/check' each of the 'preloader/MBR/EBR1/UBOOT/BOTIMG etc... files.
Most guides will tell you to press the select 'Download' from the drop down menu, but I kept getting an error message, but if you highlight 'Firmware Upgrade' from the drop down box, you should be fine.
Click the 'Download' green button.
Now plug your phone in whilst holding 'volume up' button.
SP Tools should recognise the phone, and the bar along the bottom should turn RED. The phone will disconnect, then recconnect again after a few seconds, and the bar will turn Yellow and it will say 'Formatting', then it will Flash the files to your phone which should take 30 seconds or so.
After it is done, a nice green circle saying DONE will pop up. You can now disconnect your phone, wait a few seconds, then power on using the power button.
All Done!!! KITKAT is now installed on your bricked phone!
Enjoy!
Hello, thanks for making this thread! Not much help out there for this phone. I started following your instructions, and immediately ran into a problem. On the step below...

I just got the phone a few days ago, and it had KitKat 4.4.2 already installed from the factory. What do I need to do? Thanks!
Well I solved the problem. I downloaded Kingo Root and it successfully rooted my phone! I ran Mobile Uncle to verify, and it confirmed my root status.
My question now is, should I install the Carliv recovery, and flash bootimgADB.zip? Or, am I good to go now? I have SuperSU v2.02 installed. Thanks!
---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------
So, I went ahead and tried to install the recovery.img using Mobile Uncle. It ran for a second, then a pop-up asked to reboot into recovery mode. I hit ok, but it rebooted into the orange and grey stock android system recovery.
So, I figured I would try to install the bootimgADB.zip from SD card, but it just comes back with installation aborted.
Any thoughts?
Hi guys,
I accidentally wiped /system from my phone, and now I can't get it back.
I've tried downloading the OS zip from the Huawei site and running it from an SD card like it says, but it just fails.
I've also tried extracting system.img from the file with a tool I found here, but it won't flash with fastboot, it just fails saying it can't load the file. It seems like maybe it's encrypted in some way.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Can anyone upload a system.img file I can flash to my device?
Thanks
I did exactly like what you did and I finally found this way to solve the problem, it is simple but need you to foucs :
First of all you should have custom recovery (TWRP) , and of course to have this you should unlock you bootloader.
after you have custom recovery , go to this thread (it is custom rom for P8) , and download the rom , then move it to SD card and put it in P8max.
here is the Thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...e-1-0-t3175436
Now try to flash this custom rom via recovery "do full wipe" , and wait until your device work.
Now you are using custom rom for P8 and custom recovery, of course there is many bugs and a lot of restarting but don't worry , keep going :
now download this official rom for P8max :
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=51144&version=120555&siteCode=cn
after you download this file, move "dload" folder to root of your SD card , then insert it in your P8max.
now you can't update this while you have custom recovery , so we slould go back to stock recovery fo P8max , download this stock recovery and flash it via Fastboot .
here is Stock recovery :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/smv6aoi7p4iivfq/Recovery.img?dl=0
last step , you need to flash stock rom with one of these methods, see what work with you :
Method 1 :
1-cell phone turned off.
2-insert the SD card.
3-while pressing the volume up button + volume down key switch button, the phone automatically enters the upgrade mode, and then begin the upgrade.
Method 2 :
1-put SD card into the phone.
2-press the Menu key, the system updates -> SD card upgrade -> confirm -> upgrade, backup data, select the backup data; upgrade.
Or
open Updater app, then menu then local update.
PS :
if nothing work with you you shold move "dload" folder to root of you phone memory "not SD card" , and because your phone will keep restarting try to connect it to your PC throw USB to stop restarting , and paste "dload" folder to root of your phone memory like what I said before.
then try one of the two methods above.
now wait until you P8max run with official rom and stock recovery.
hope this help, feel free to ask.
Thank you so much! It worked! It's booted up fine after installing the update from the SD card.
I'm just doing the OTA updates now.

now you can't update this while you have custom recovery , so we slould go back to stock recovery fo P8max , download this stock recovery and flash it via Fastboot .
here is Stock recovery :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/smv6aoi7p4iivfq/Recovery.img?dl=0
last step , you need to flash stock rom with one of these methods, see what work with you :
Method 1 :
1-cell phone turned off.
2-insert the SD card.
3-while pressing the volume up button + volume down key switch button, the phone automatically enters the upgrade mode, and then begin the upgrade.
Method 2 :
1-put SD card into the phone.
2-press the Menu key, the system updates -> SD card upgrade -> confirm -> upgrade, backup data, select the backup data; upgrade.
Or
open Updater app, then menu then local update.
PS :
if nothing work with you you shold move "dload" folder to root of you phone memory "not SD card" , and because your phone will keep restarting try to connect it to your PC throw USB to stop restarting , and paste "dload" folder to root of your phone memory like what I said before.
then try one of the two methods above.
now wait until you P8max run with official rom and stock recovery.
hope this help, feel free to ask.

But after it flashes it should let you run the update from the SD card, just need to reflash stock recovery.

I did exactly like what you did and I finally found this way to solve the problem, it is simple but need you to foucs :
First of all you should have custom recovery (TWRP) , and of course to have this you should unlock you bootloader.
after you have custom recovery , go to this thread (it is custom rom for P8) , and download the rom , then move it to SD card and put it in P8max.
here is the Thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...e-1-0-t3175436
Now try to flash this custom rom via recovery "do full wipe" , and wait until your device work.
Now you are using custom rom for P8 and custom recovery, of course there is many bugs and a lot of restarting but don't worry , keep going :
now download this official rom for P8max :

how could the p8 rom work with our p8 max?
so this mean that i can flash this rom ?
Flash official recovery. Download official b021 ROM. Create "dload" folder in your SD card. Extract b021 and put into dload folder. Press volume up+ down button. System will auto install and reboot.
Good luck

How to root S6: SM-G925W8. Android 7.0.??????
Hi, i tried to root my phone, but then was bricked. I fix it, installing the firmware.
How i do it? I download the wrong twrp! Can anyone give me the correct one? And a guide after that. I dont want to break my phone. Thaaaanks. Regards.
-Put your phone in download mode and flash twrp-3.1.1-0-zeroltecan.img.tar with odin , after succeeded, the phone will restart, quickly press and hold volume +, power & home button go to TWRP, if you didn't do it fast enought,
it will return back to stock android recovery, you have to start this step again to have TWRP recovery.
-Next boot into TWRP and flash SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip or Magisk 14 (you might need to install Magisk manager manually), reboot phone and you will have root.
