[GUIDE] Video Tutorial - Flashing your Milestone XT720 back to stock ROM

Here you go!
The much requested and highly anticipated video tutorial on how to flash your Milestone XT720 back to a stock 2.1 ROM.
This is a two part tutorial. The first part is explaining how to download & install the necessary three items: The Motorola USB drivers, RSD Lite v4.6, and downloading the stock SBF file. There are links in the video description to obtain these files.

The second part is the actual flashing process. During this video, I have flashed my phone back to it's original Cincinnati Bell 2.1 Stock ROM.

Note: I used the Cincinnati Bell 2.1 US Stock ROM sbf file. There are other sbf files available, but I do not have links to them. If someone else has links to these, please share them in this thread for the everyone else to benefit from them.
Happy Flashing!

Blu Studio 5
Good luck!

firmware
i tried the link for the factory rom and it was a dead link said file was no longer there for download. to be honest since there is alot involved in flashing the phone with the most current firmware available i am going to just pass and just keep what the phone currently has firmware wise. i do not want to by mistake brick the phone. all i really want to do is have on hand a copy of the most current firmware for my phone so in the event i need to re-flash it i can. i have tried seeking the firmware file for the phone but keep hitting dead links. thank you for your time. if u do have a live link so i can download a up to date firmware for the phone i could use that. thank you

I can't seem to find what you're looking for, it's probably best to ask in the q&a section for your device here:

[Completed] [Q] Problem with backup

Hello.
I have a problem ..... ¬_¬ obvious ... I made a backup of the phone with droidtools, but I did not create the "user data.img", "cache.img", "system.img" files .
And now I can not restore my phone. :crying::crying::crying:
And I've searched a lot, but there is no rom for my phone.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks in advance :good:
Note: Translated from Spanish by Google .....

Hola,
Bienvenidos a XDA.
If you were still on stock when you created your backup and you want stock back you can reflash your stock firmware via PC with whatever flashtool is compatible with your device. If you post your device model number I can at least get you pointed in the right direction to finding your answer.

My phone is a MPIE P3000T, I searched everywhere to no avail. I have the backup, but missing those .img not help me ...... Could .img separate package the files? Or if you know of any place where I can find a rom for my model ....

Unfortunately, I am not finding any ROMs for you on XDA. You'll have to find your stock firmware by doing a google search using your device's model number, find it, get it downloaded and flash it from PC with whatever flashtool is for your device.
You can try posting in the forum linked below.

Good luck.

The tools you use will depend on your device, generally, Linux can be used for manipulating things like that on all android devices but the tools to make use of what you put together in Linux will depend on your device. How to use Linux to package things correctly for your device would be better answered by those that have your device, I am not familiar with your device so those kinds of things I couldn't tell you.
You should post your question in the link I gave you, the members there may have more answers for you than I do. There are too many kinds of android devices out there to learn them all, its best to find those that have learned that device.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][8.1.0][tb8703f/x/r/n] LineageOS 15.1 for Lenovo TAB 3 8 plus P8

Click here to see the Custom ROM by highwaystar_ru
His post doesn't always come up from google search.

Hello.
I want to buy a Lenovo P8 from Gearbest: https://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_1542868.html?wid=1640583
I have some questions:
1. It comes with Android 6.0 and has a locked bootloader (I think, it can't be unlocked). Can it receive update to oreo (the custom rom from this thread)?
2. Is it possible to install TWRP and then the custom ROM?
3. Is The Oreo stable ? Phone calling and FM radio is supported on this custom ROM? How much space is used (from 16 GB)?
4. Where can I find the stock ROM (Android 6.0), just in case if something goes wrong? On Lenovo website I cant find the stock ROM, and if something goes wrong (even with TWRP) I want to have the possibility of flashing the stock via QFIL.
(5.) On which kernel is based
A. Stock ROM
B. Oreo custom
Thanks!

New up-today Cdroid custom ROM available from ziggy815, but for some reason the ROM does show under XDA. I created a new thread but it doesn't show under Lenovo P8 topic thread. Maybe XDA database take sometime to update, IDK.
