HI,
First of all im new to this android world.
I brought LG E455 two months ago and i rooted it successfully by using a chiana tool
and replaced the super user of china version into english version.
But when i tried to install any custom rom or even if i try to enter into boot recovery using the command "adb reboot recovery"
i end up seeing a red triangle over an android symboll..
how to solve this?
Is it possible for my device to install custom roms?

Just to clarify, is this what you are seeing?

If so you probably need to reflash your recovery.

I apologize, my previous advice was generic for any phone. After looking in to your model I did not see any custom recoveries available for it, nor have I found anyone claiming to have a custom recovery running.
Can you post a link to the recovery that you flashed? Obviously it was not from the ClockworkMod site: clockworkmod.com/rommanager as there is no official recovery for your model. Of course, you might have found an unofficial testing version somewhere else. If so let me know and I will help you look into reflashing it.

I could not find any. To my knowledge, it is not possible to flash anything but stock firmware to your phone, nor are there any recoveries aside from the one already on it.
Your phone is not too old, so someone might still develop a custom recovery and eventually 3rd party ROMs. However, it is worth noting that might never happen. If you wish to flash ROMs and such, it is generally a good idea to purchase a more popular device. More users = more devs = more customizations made.

You are welcome. Does it claim to be incompatible with your device? It might not be able to physically work on your chipset, which means it will not work on your phone unless the devs release an update. If you would like to purchase it anyways just to try it out, you can download a modified Play Store APK that removes device/region restrictions. I have not used such an APK, so I cannot help much beyond linking you to the last one I saw featured here on XDA. That is a pretty old Play Store, so you might Google around to see if you can find a newer version like version 4.x or so. While I have not had much success with the application personally, Lucky Patcher might be able to remove the region/device checks from your current Play Store. If none of those options work, the only route left is illegitimate and not spoken of here.
I have the same E455 and I just want to enter that stock recovery. how do I do that?
I've tried every key combination possible . it just wont enter recovery.
LG site is no help at all about this. just look at the other south Korean phone maker.
the difference is day and night. everything is available for sammy devices . oh,well

Hey Axims,
I`m also ended up on a dead end for this problem.
But yesterday i accidentally switched on my mobile by holding volume UP + quick access button + Power Button. I`m entered into recovery mode but i cant use that mode its only allows LG service representatives to use. Do u know anything about it??????...
It would gives us a clue to enter into our recovery...
If u know anything about it please reply......,
Thanking you.
Hmm, I'm becoming more and more suspicious that it's just a mock screen and not a real recovery.
otherwise, why we can't enter it?
why lg is so tight lipped about it?
some senior member here tried couple of days helping me make a cwm for it. he was always
complaining about the odd size of boot.img and recovery.img that something is not right there.
maybe he's right and lg screwed us . who knows

Hi guys
if you are still following this thread, then I have started to work on the device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48936664
If you have any new news let me know, I am still learning..
G
I just received a "new" Photon Q thanks to a warranty swap from Motorola. When I got my 1st Photon Q last year, I used this thread to root the thing...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856480
That thread is ancient, though, and some of the links don't work.
I've been searching and searching... and I'm stuck. This is my 2nd day of searching, so I'm resorting to a new thread.
The phone is unlocked thanks to Motorola's unlocking tool.
I finally found & downloaded the 6.0.1.3 recovery from here:
http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Following the directions that are pretty uniform across the 'net, I keep getting errors. Is this file/image no longer good? Is there another way to gain root access? I'm not particularly interested in installing ROMs (not opposed to it, it's just not my main goal at this point.) I just want Root access so I can do a few minor tweaks.
Thanks to anyone who can help... this wasn't nearly this difficult the last time I did it!
Try TWRP, it auto-root's the device after flashing recovery.
Use this version until the official is updated.

Thanks for the fast reply!
So, I just download that & use it as the recovery image, right? As in, I use that instead of the 6.0.1.3 file from CWM that isn't working...
Sorry... not necessarily a noob, but it's been a long time since I've fooled with any of this.

No worries. TWRP has directions on how to flash on their page.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/137
I just use the fastboot method myself. Just use that "test" image I linked earlier - or if you want official, use 2.6.3.1. I'm working to get the official updated, but it's been difficult coordinating with the TWRP team... especially since the device is now in so much limbo. I can tell you the test image works great, I'm still using it.

Just sent you a tiny thank you via PayPal... I'm rooted. Let the tinkering begin. Ha!:laugh:
I have tried the one click solutions and I'm getting nowhere. Even the shady ones don't work. Is there any word on rooting this tablet?
I just got my DL7006 and haven't gotten rooting to work either with the mainstream one-click root systems. Am trying to go the ADB shell route now, but I need to find the TWRP image (whatever that is). I'm a LINUX/UNIX person and I find this Android stuff REALLY frustrating.
I'm also looking for TWRP for DL8006. Unlocking the bootloader was easy.
I've unlocked the boot loader and nothing works either. I have the firmware sent to me directly from Digiland, but even with SP flash and MTK tools I can't seem to get anywhere. I'm no pro, that's a fact, but I've managed to gain root privilege on many devices that mainstream one clicks won't work on. This sucker just won't give up the ghost! If anyone can do anything with the FW I'd be happy to share it. If u make any progress all I ask is share the hell out of it!!

See if those work. They are the 2 digiland sent. Keep me posted please!
So there is an unofficial TWRP for one of the 2 firmwares for the dl7006 on the TWRP builder page. I submitted both boot.img files. I can't get it to work. Maybe someone else can.

I'll share the relevant guides that has helped me.
If you want me, or a personalized "guide" for your process, I'll be okay with that, un;ess you wanna totally geek out.
(There are multiple guides, depending on what your encounter, and to use some aspects of the tools)
I can already tell you that this can be a 1-3 hour process to learn and perform, and that the guides will not 100% represent all that you need to do, but 90%.
Note that you just need Wwr_MTK tool, the template for it, SP Flash TOOL and the vcdrom drivers the guide links to! Oh and, an account. That's needed to download files from hovatek.
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21970.html
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-22701.html (If in following the first guide, and you encounter "DRAM FLIP TEST"
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-526.html (Skip to step 7-21, the first guide redirects here on how to use readback. Mediatek tools no longer works, which is why you should ignore that thread mostly.)
With this, you can eventually get the boot.img of your tablet, which should then be patched with the magisk app (doesn't matter where, just get the patched boot.img), then you can use SP flash tool to flash the boot.img and get root! This can also be used to help build your own custom rom, kernel, and even recovery, with a semi automatic process.

This is an older thread, but we're talking about an older device. Do you still have these files?
Hi all,
Someone know How can I Root my device?
You can not yet...
First stage would be unlocking the bootloader ... which Huawei now deny you the ability to do.
However it appears someone is offering a working unlock service.
People are reporting it's legit for the P20 / Pro.
Be careful though.

As a fresh owner of Honor Note 10 I was curious if it's possible to have the bootloader unlocked. Just finished chatting to the admin from the website and he claims that YES, they offer this service for 30EUR. But then I asked him if there's an actual way to root the device and he wouldn't know. My point here is: there's not much of a point to have an unlocked bootloader if you can't get the root on the phone. I think we will have to wait a bit longer till someone gets a working root method. I wouldn't mind to pay for having the bootloader unlocked (for reasonable amount of moneyh) as long as it works...
You can't have root without the unlocked bootloader.
So of course there isn't a root method yet ... because no-one was previously able to unlock the bootloader.
If that is now possible, then a root method will inevitably come.

Given Huawei's recent dull attitude that reads something like "LOCKED BOOTLOADER is for your safety only" (BLAH BLAH BLAH), reasonable doubt of a commonly available ROOT for this magnificent device is more than imminent...
But hope is all there's left, right
If one enterprising individual has found a way, and is charging €30, then others will find a way too, and will provide it for less / nothing eventually.
He's just the first, and good for him.

Hmmm... there seems to be some work in progress alright regarding a custom TRWP for Note 10, if the google translator works fine, that is:
https://translate.google.com/transl...m/thread-17327282-1-1.html&edit-text=&act=url
And the bootloader unlock code might get somewhat cheaper, too:

Just to keep this thread alive, does anyone happen to have an access to the Chinese Huawei club forum with TWRP recovery? I'm unable to download the img file there as it requires to have a chinese phone number to register on the site. All it takes is to have that file downloaded. I'd like to volunteer to unlock the bootloader, then flash the TWRP through adb interface and try to root the Note 10 with Magisk or SuperSU just to see if it works.
Anyone with Chinese Huwaei ID willing to download that file, as seen here:
https://club.huawei.com/thread-17327282-1-1.html
Any help is much appreciated!

Process :
Unzip the compressed file and copy the dload folder to the SD card.
forced upgrade:
1. Simultaneously press and hold the Note10 three physical buttons (volume up and down keys, power button) until you enter the recovery to upgrade
2. If the upgrade is successful, the machine will automatically restart into the system;
Tip: If there is a problem with the upgrade failure, please check whether the SD card upgrade package is copied to the specified directory and the upgrade package is the SD card upgrade package of the product.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated?.
The good news is I got my bootloader unlocked. The bad news is the apk file requires root, which I was hoping to obtain by flashing a custom TWRP image. I thought that's what it was available in that Huawei club Note10 forum...
Ah well, we have to remain patient till someone actually releases a working TWRP for Note 10. Sooner or later, I guess ?.
Cheers!

How did you got it unlocked?
i know there are many pid sources but was waiting for someone to confirm they really work for note 10. Can you please share where you got it from?
Sure, I've posted the link already:
https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
I chose the fast 1-20min option and it was done that way, indeed. You must pay upfront, of course. They generated the unlock code for me and all I did was a few lines in cmd powershell while phone was in fastboot mode.
There's an ugly message coming up everytime I boot saying that my device has an unlocked bootloader?
But we need a custom CWM or TWRP image now?
I wonder if there's a stock boot image of Note 10 floating around online, perhaps in Huawei Chinese forums?

Just did some digging there and actually, you can find a working firmware file 125 for Note 10 online. Chances are even the latest 132 build is there somewhere on Chinese forums...
I'd recommended you to get the bootloader unlocked from the link above, if you have a good idea how to proceed with root? My skills are way too limited, I'm afraid?.

Rename apk to zip and decompress it, you can get the twrp.img.

OK now. I managed to flash TWRP on the phone successfully. However after i tried to flash Magisk, the phone remains unrooted So it's a no for me. Any idea why?
There's a red error stating coming up twice: failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy). But the Magisk zip get installed anyway. So what am I doing wrong?
EDIT: the bloody TWRP is password protected. My pin password doesn't do the trick...
EDIT 2: OK, just removed my lock screen in phone settings, no errors in TWRP anymore. But after I flashed Magisk (no erros again), phone still remains unrooted? What the hell?

Hey,
youyim123 recently made his TWRP build available that I was trying to compile myself. So without further ado, here is a more or less working TWRP for the Nubia Z18 with instructions of how to install it.
Link to recovery.img
How to install it:
Boot into bootloader using
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unlock the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX606J
Flash the recovery.img using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
IMPORTANT! Navigate to "reboot to emergency recovery mode". Do not use
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
as it might not work correctly!
I found disconnecting the device from USB to be more reliable, so do that for stability
If it gets stuck, repeat steps 1 and 4. No need to reflash, just be patient
Language will be Chinese, so change that by using the settings button (second from below on the right)
That's it, you have a working TWRP now Enjoy!
EDIT: DO NOT TRY FLASHING MAGISK AS IT WILL DAMAGE DM-VERITY AND YOU'LL HAVE TO BOOT RESCUE YOUR DEVICE! YOU CAN USE MY recovery script in the bloat remover thread to fix your device
In case you get stuck in a bootloop, repeat the installation guide, then use
Code:
adb push stock.zip /data/media/0
and reflash stock firmware as a last resort until a custom ROM is available.
All credit for this goes to youyim123 and his amazing work! I know he struggled releasing this because his work is often used or redirected without his consent or giving him credit, so I'm grateful he decided to release it.

In theory, yes. In practice, it somehow doesn't give me any GApps when flashing it. I'm trying to cooperate with the OpenGapps team to fix this.
any update info for flashing gapps ? i really want to use my nubia z18 with google environment on it. tks

None yet. I'd say community involvement isn't exactly one of the OpenGapps team's good points
See the Gitter thread for tracking updates here: https://gitter.im/opengapps/general
If you know of any other way to contact them, feel free to do so and send them the logs I attached in the gitter post (same username as here)

EDIT: Okay I tried the app and it's doing something that looks like installing play services? @elnas1369 would you mind explaining what you did in detail? Because most of us probably can't speak chinese and it's not intuitive unfortunately

I did it on my Nubia X and it works pretty good, you just have to follow the steps, i've found some tutos on youtube it's very easy. You can search for google xspace installing or something like that

Hey,
youyim123 recently made his TWRP build available that I was trying to compile myself. So without further ado, here is a more or less working TWRP for the Nubia Z18 with instructions of how to install it.
Link to recovery.img
How to install it:
Boot into bootloader using
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unlock the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX606J
Flash the recovery.img using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
IMPORTANT! Navigate to "reboot to emergency recovery mode". Do not use
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery

any news update about stable TWRP for Z18. I have Z18, a very beautiful and strong device

It is stable. Just make sure to unplug your phone after flashing it as otherwise it will probably get stuck after a few seconds. If you need to have your device connected to your pc, do the following:
Start adb sideload in TWRP, connect your phone to your pc, stop sideload. That way you have a working connection with adb again
Hope this helps!

i read somewhere in Nubia forums (chinese language), some dev is going to release TWRP for Z18, but it need poll to decide.
So that, i dont know this version on XDA is official or unofficial ? And as you said, if it is stable, so can i flash Gaap package to get full Goolge and service for Z18? have you tried ?
Already try few weeks ago, not working...!
The only temperary solution is "Google Space", or just wait for the global version release
As one Dev which working on LOS fot this machine point out that Lineage is very hard to compile since there's no other Dev help him, the System is block by something call AVB2...pretty ironic as this twrp not even let us using Magisk at all!

Please read the first post precisely and then the post in the nubia forum again. Youyim is the guy who made the poll and he made it public. I simply brought it to a wider audience and link to his official GitHub for the img.
You cannot flash Gapps with this because it errors. I said so a couple of times before and would appreciate a bit of effort reading before asking. You probably spent more time on writing this than you would've reading the first three post entries here, disregarding the fact that I'm trying to reply in detail. It's all in the first post, please read that before asking next time..
To sum up:
- It's the "official" TWRP from youyim, all credit goes to him
- You can not install Gapps with this, I haven't found a resolution for this but am working on an alternative. See my other thread or post #3 here

It's the same dev I'm the guy working on LineageOS as well and yes AVB2 (Basically think of it as Android's answer to secure boot on Computers) is a pain in the a** to deal with. Compiling itself is rather easy compared to the pain that comes after it, it's just killing lots of time and I unfortunately don't have that with a full time job. That's why I tried getting more people involved but (again) failed apparently.
TWRP doesn't have anything to do with Magisk either. Magisk is modifying the boot partition as far as I'm aware (don't hate me topjohnwu) and it relies on either no AVB/DM-Verity or a flag that doesn't work here either. TWRP in contrast just modifies/overrides the boot partition and is (mostly) used to flash many things including Magisk.
I think Z18 not have a global version, so we'll never see international firmware for this product. The only way I hope is some one or some dev support official method for install Google. And hope good news come soon.
Thanks all!

Isn't a global release coming in like 2 weeks or something? At least that's what I read last time I checked
I can tell you an official method. Root your phone and rewrite google services to system. Otherwise wait until developers can take a look at Rom building like I do now or even better, get involved. Being a one man show isn't helping the cause even if you have a couple spectators because it makes you feel more or less like a monkey in a cage

https://www.gadgetsnow.com/mobile-phones/Nubia-Z18 for instance. India isn't global lol. They mostly just buy masses of phones and then resell. And yeah I can understand they won't release a global version anytime soon. The phone is great but looking at the source code, it's horrible. I even had to submit a patch so they get their build fixed!
As for the download, try the second one. Baidu is blocking anything non China by now afaik. It will also be included in the LineageOS ROM whenever I'll get that done..
