(P.S I have attached the modified boot image for firmware k53_s123_170216_ROW, so no need to modify the boot image if you are on this firmware.)

Where is the attached k53_s123_170216_ROW boot image ?

Boot.img updated. Cheers

Sounds interesting thanks as I keep getting errors trying to flash SuperSU or Magisk.
I'm on firmware k53_s123_170216_ROW so I will be able to use your boot.img but how would one go about getting the boot.img to modify ? The Nandroid backup is in the boot.emmc.win format and the whole partition I suppose ?

Oops so I flashed your boot.img :

At the end on the screen it says in green at the top "flashing boot ...", rebooted into TWRP 3.0.3.0 with long "VOL UP+VOL DOWN" + "POWER" press.
Tried to install :

- SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip
- Magisk-v12.0.zip
But they all fail unfortunately, same error message as before flashing your boot.img :
Magisk12 error :

SuperSU error :

ok, I updated to TWRP-3.1.0.1_K53a48_by_SevenMaxs.7z and I was able to flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip without errors. All booted up and SuperSU in the app drawer and rooted, thanks for the tips, man !
A few more questions if I may :
- is there a stock recovery to put back the K6 Note in factory mode ?
- how does one go about getting the boot.img out of a device for patching ?

If will not modify the boot.img what will gonna happen?
Thanks to this furom....Really help for me

You cannot flash supersu without the modified boot image.
You need to flash the recovery and modified boot image to successfully flash supersu.

To receive OTA's you need to be on stock recovery, and stock boot image without any modification to the system partition.

Can the stock recovery be downloaded anywhere ? Thanks !

as for custom roms i dont think thats gonna happen anytime soon, and there is nothing like official custom recovery, there is only custom recovery like TWRP or CMW.

Hi there, mate. If I do this process, will I be able to remove TWRP if needed (for updating reasons), if so, what would the process be?

So you can't reflash the original recovery ? So that means no more OTA updates, but would it still work with an official update that was downloaded, assuming one becomes available ? Thanks !

I was able to unlock bootloader, installed twrp and root according to your guide
and
also successfully returned to original stock 6.0 rom, stock recovery according to androidmtk's Lenovo_K53_USR_S107_1609131839_Q00380_ROW firmware.
This is a new toy for me now. Many thanks...:laugh:

Hey @bragon01 i have a problem with your rom!
Everytime I boot up your rom, it says somthing like "you entered a correct password, but your data is broken/corrupt" (sorry for bad translation, the text appears in german for me) and the only other thing on screen is a "factory reset" button. If I press it, it does a factory reset over twrp, boots up again and shows the message again. I wiped system/data/cache/dalvik-art cache before intallation.
Please help!

Did you do this step "- In TWRP go to Advanced -> Terminal -> Write "a1to5x" -> press Enter" ?

Yes I did, I also tried booting once without doing it, and it didn't boot up at all, it would just go to the aosp recovery.

I think your phone is data encrypted. You should reflash above custom TWRP, format the storage and do the installation process again.
When you install ROM and it does not boot into our custom TWRP, you should reflash TWRP again and continue next step.
Hope that help.

Well, i had this problem when i tried to restore nougat a1 port when i was on oreo a1 port. I am not sure what caused the problem, but my first thought was the recovery - i was on the oreo recovery and tried to boot nougat rom...
Anyway, what i did eventually to fix it was to restore stock miui with official miui tool, unlocked bootloader again and then flashed the a1 firmware, oreo recovery and oreo rom. All is working well now.
The bad news is, your internal data is lost now, most probably.

I'd recommend using the TWRP here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...unofficial-twrp-daisy-mount-sd-fixed-t3889390
And, by the way, what is the purpose of flashing userdata? Is it just to wipe it?

Work
Before all, save a backup!! You will lose all tour data!
I've had full wipe (format data > yes , it will delete encryption)
Flash all rom 9.6.4.0 with .bat file (erase last sentence for no auto reboot after install)
No start system!
directly reboot into twrp
Full wipe (and data)
Reboot twrp (for valid deleting encryption)
install RR system
Disable force encryption
resize system partition
install Gapps 9.0 (if you want)
Install magisk (if you want)
reboot
All base work fine with this
For cam and RR setting work need to add SElinux module in magisk
safetynet not pass CTS (i will try universal fix)
LED no work
If you have problem with your sim card try this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78736646&postcount=195

Work for me, sim back to 1 from 2 and network work fine with 9.6.4.0!!

Google implemented AVB verity to check and make sure that all the images in the partitions match each other before the device will boot. The device will not boot with a mismatched GSI image in the system partition. The zip disables the verity checks of the different partions allowing the device to boot with a GSI image.

So it booted but when i went back and flash GApps i got error 70 and i didn’t do the fix while in twrp i wanted to reboot system first then go back to twrp and do the fix . Seems that wasn’t a good idea it booted to the google screen then back to bootloader with and error saying “error booting boot.img . Gonna try doing the process all over again and do the GApps fix after flashing GApps before rebooting.

Not working for me, boots fine until i flash GApps and reboot system it just goes to bootloader and says "no valid slot to boot" .

I dont really care but dont think this is really the correct place for much of this stuff....maybe poke around here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development

Those roms seem to be for older devices

I didn't have some booting issues at first with RR but I just flashed the stock boot image after it was all said and done and it boot fine. Not sure if it's twrp or magisk causing the issues
Edit guess I should add this in to the op

Funny i was thinking of doing that. Ok will try that . Doing a clean install of January patch and will have a go again .

Boots ok when i flashed boot.img after GApps but after a restart it just boots to fastboot and i if click on start or do a fastboot reboot it just goes back to bootloader . I think this needs some work .

Which GApps to use ARM64 9,0 or ARM 9.0 ? . Was reading that ARM64 doesn't work on pixel
Edit: No worries, i see it’s ARM64 .

I did a factory reset then install just the system.img in TWRP then flash GApps and Magisk before reboot as per instructions in RR thread . I boots fine but give the Android system error before you unlock . I report this in the RR psi thread and they said it's a known issue should just ignore it for now . Everything works . I'm using Google Fi which works fine .

This looked like a chance but disabling AVB, FBE and making the Kernel SElinux permissive has not helped to boot this here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...vice-development/pie-erfan-gsi-ports-t3906486
Anyone more lucky as i am or any ideas? Would really really like to get Miui or Xperia as System since it includes fancy stuff to play with...

Unlock the bootloader using Mi unlock tool. Flash Peter's TWRP using fastboot command. Reboot to recovery. Flash Magisk. Reboot. You should be rooted.

unlocking bootloader is necessary and during unlocking the bootloader your phone must be formatted and your data will lost you and internal too.
so you have to backup all your data and music and whatever you are keeping.
Ater unlocking you have to flash PTWRP from the fastboot command and imultaneously boot to TWRP then flash magisk and done your phone is now rooted.
Your data will be lost.

If you will not flash magisk then it will get removed.
As i have faced one time.

Just internal data is removed, not SD's right!?

In these cases what i do is i flash the Stock recovery.img whenever i need to install the update.
Lets say i have installed miui with fastboot, then i install twrp and flash magisk and then install stock recovery.
