IMPORTANT UPDATE : I have observed that when mounting system R/w device restarts. It means that even after rooting successfully, system is blocking the app. So rooting will not be complete as of now,till further corrections. Rest of the operations are normal, quick reboot apps work properly. and device works normally. So please bear with me.
Freinds , this thread is basically for what the title suggests. After a long time I was able to do it.
I'll update as required, so be patient. and keep watching.
1. Unlock Bootloader
a. Boot device in bootloader from adb in cmd terminal. (To go in fastboot mode, press power and volume down button ).
Please enter these commands, one at a time.
Code:
adb devices
(this will show your device)
adb reboot-bootloader
( device will reboot to bootloader). Then enter this...
fastboot devices
(this will show your device)
fastboot oem unlock-go
( If it shows already unlocked, go to twrp flash. If it is not, It will ask for erasing data, so backup all your data. This will unlock your bootloader.)
2. Flash TWRP
In fastboot mode: continue.......
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(Flash the image I have provided)
You can also try
fastboot boot twrp.img
( to try this image file, if you are scared of bricking the phone.)
3. Flash patched boot.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(Flash the image I have provided. This is necessary as otherwise the su zip may not work )
4. Rooting
Please copy the SuperSu zip file to your micro sd card. Now boot to Twrp recovery. My advice is to backup of your system and boot. Then wipe data, dalvik-cache,cache, Internal storage. (Sometimes, format option is required.)
Now flash this zip.
If there are errors anywhere, please tell me and I shall try to correct them.
Updates :
1. Twrp stable added on 8/6/2018
2. Twrp_3.1.0.1 added on 11/6/2018, Removed Old Twrp link.
3. Twrp_3.1.0.1 Link updated on 13.6.2018.
4. Twrp_3.1.0.1 Link updated on 9.7.2019. Removed Old Twrp 3.1.0.1 link.
Downloads
1. Twrp_Stable_3.0.2.0.img: Link
2. TWRP_3.1.0.1_unofficial_SwipeEliteMax : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1n-DfHwC4_WRn_Jlr5FosOb6lW827M5ho
Remember first thing before rooting, do a backup of system and boot.img. Rest is your choice.
2. SuperSu zip: http://www.supersu.com/download Or you can download from anywhere on the net.
3. Patched Boot : Link
Stock Reflash and subsequent Update:
1. Stock Version V12 Reflash :
Remember , boot takes 5-10 mins to come on. So don't panic when device doesn't boot.
If the need arises due to any reason device hangs in logo, first restore only boot which you backed up. If still no change, restore system also.
But if you want to flash stock version , then read ahead.
The FOTA zip did not work for me from adb sideload. So I will recommend the QFIL download.
1. Download Stock Rom and Qualcomm downloader from here
Extract the zip. Install the drivers.
2. QFIL install : Download and install Qualcomm downloader.
It should look like the image in attachments
1. If it shows Flat Build / Meta Build, choose Flat Build.
2. Click "browse" and select "prog_emmc_firehose_8937_lite.mbn" , in the Extracted Stock rom folder
3. Click Load XML and select "rawprogram_unsparse.xml" in the Extracted Stock rom folder.
4. Click Load Patch and select "patch0.xml" in the Extracted Stock rom folder.
5. Click Download. If device is in adb mode, no problem, it will go in download mode automatically.
If it is not, just connect and shutdown device . While it is shutting down, it will connect automatically andf flash will begin.
Do not disconnect while process is on. Be patient.
2. Update to V15 :
After Stock reflash, the update to V15 comes immediately after connecting to internet.
Just incase someone wants to flash it offline , here is the process and file.
1. Recovery Method : Place gobi zip in adb folder . Go to stock recovery. Press Volume up and Power button. Once in recovery, choose "update from adb" .
Enter the following command in cmd console :
Code:
adb sideload update-gobi.zip.
Downloads : Update zip for Version Update from V12 to V15. Link

Glad to hear that. I don't have any information about specific roms for swipe but we may have to port any aosp or lineage roms for our chipset (msm8937). Once I'm free, I'll get to search that. ....

Actually, AOSP and lineage Os ,both are ported successfully. But there are some flaws. Time is a major factor.
Also, I think Our Rom is better than these roms. From twrp I removed all useless apps. So memory has increased a bit.
So, i think instead of marshmallow I should try Nougat or Oreo if possible. Of course time is an enemy . Just hope.

Hi. This is a very late reply . Sorry for that.
To enable volte, you have to go to
Settings>More>Cellular networks.
Here, you have to enable/On Enhanced 4G Lte mode.
But, you have to remember, few things. Our phone has only one 4g and one 2g slot. You can use any slot for 4g. The other will automatically turn to 2g. This happens when you choose data for that sim.
Another problem you will face if you have the other sim of JIO. It works only in 4g. So if you awnt volte /4g on Airtel and other sim is Jio, you will have no network on Jio as it does not work in 2g/3g.
For Imei , just google SN / IMEI writing softwares from the net. But mind you enter the right IMEIs, as you mind land in trouble if non-matching one is written.
What base band file do you want ? The firmware folder ?

Hello Friends
A little background first !!
QiKU Q Terra (CP8692_I02) which was sold in India and came pre-installed with 360 OS v21, Android 5.1. The OEM went back to China hence there haven not been any software update for our device. I had been trying to boot latest Chinese 360 OS on Indian Qiku Terra to get updates but after flashing the Chinese version the device would not boot at all and would get stuck in fastboot mode. To revive the device, I had to flash back the V21, I had tried several times but no success.
I even got in touch with the 360 OS engineers over mail with the help of an administrator of Qiku Chinese forum but the engineers said it's not possible to flash Chinese 360 OS on Indian Qiku Q Terra.
I had also been trying to root QiKU and I was able to figure it out all recently.
Check out my post -- https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...i02-unlock-t3493636/post69455878#post69455878
This tutorial is also useful for users of CP8692_M02 who had flashed the v21 on their devices and now are not able to go back to CP8692_M02.
Warning !! Try this own your on risk although it's very safe if you follow the instructions without missing any steps. Don't blame me if you still manage to kill your phone and loose your job :laugh::laugh:
Let's begin !!
Just ensure your device bootloader is unlock before you follow the instructions as it's required to boot 360 Chinese OS on the Indian QiKU.
Download the latest firmware and flash the same with YGDP or Qiku Download Assistant tool. When finished, the device won't boot and still be in fastboot mode. Now boot TWRP recovery from your pc, go to the folder where you have the TWRP recovery and press shift and right click and select "open command window here" and type the following
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot (recovery name).img
This should boot TWRP on your device.
You can also flash TWRP recovery if wish to,
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery (recovery name).img
Now boot TWRP
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot (recovery name).img
When in recovery mode you can use cmd to extract params partition which contain your device model name. Open cmd on your pc and type the following command
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 of=/sdcard/params.bak
Once done, you'll have a file name params.bak on your phone's internal memory, copy the same to your pc. Download NotePad++ and install it, link - https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Only use NotePad++ to edit the params, don't use NotePad. Plus make a copy of your params.bak file and keep it somewhere safe in case you mess up with original params file.
Right click on params.bak and open it with NotePad++, now search CP8692. The device model name would be CP8692_I02 just change I to M and save the changes, now it should be CP8692_M02.
The system partition size is not enough to flash Gapps hence you need to use TWRP recovery resize option.
In TWRP recovery and select > Wipe > Advance Wipe > System > click FS Option > click Resize FS now you shall have more free space in system partition
In TWRP now click reboot then click bootloader, in bootloader press volume up for fastboot mode. On pc open cmd in the folder where you have params.bak saved and type the following command:-
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase params
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash params params.bak
fastboot -i 0x1ebf reboot
If everything went well your device should boot Chinese 360 OS, Android 6.0.1 normally.
Now flash modified Gapps in TWRP which you have downloaded. The modified Gapps has Gmail & Hangout beside core apps and rest you can download from play store later.
If you flash bigger Gapps, the device will not boot or it shall be in bootloops coz of Gapps size and if you don't flash Gmail and Hangouts with the modified Gapps and download the same from Play store then it would give you connection trouble.
In case you wish to root then flash SuperSU.zip in TWRP.
Back to the booted device:-
To Activate VoLTE, download QuickShortcutMaker app from play store. Open the app and locate MBN test > click on the dropdown menu > click Try > Tick Volte_OpenMkt-Commercial-CMCC > and last click Activate.
Close the app and go to phone setting > Call settings > and enble VoLTE and you're done. You should see HD sign in the status bar of your phone. Now you can enjoy VoLTE calls.

Have you tried the code in custom recovery mode??? If you're using the code when the device is NOT in recovery mode then you have to use the following code:-
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 of=/internalsdcard/params.bak
Just bear in mind that you have to be rooted to use the above mentioned code and in recovery mode you don't need to be rooted.

Flashing the supersu.zip to root Qiku is the easiest way if you ask me. I tried my best to give the instructions in a simplest way possible making video is not on my mind.
Changing the model no in build.prop would not help in booting Android 6.0.1 on Indian Qiku v21. Had this been so easy I would've done the same a long time ago

Step2: flash params.bak

5. open minmal adb and fastboot and enter the following commands:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]fastboot devices[/COLOR]
hit enter on keyboard and the serial number of your device SHOULD show in minimal adb window, if it does'nt then you've not installed your Android usb drivers correctly !
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]fastboot flash recovery[/COLOR]
after this command press the SPACE KEY ON KEYBOARD AND DRAG THE "CUSTOM RECOVERY IMAGE FILE TO THE MINIMAL ADB WINDOW then hit the enter key on your keyboard and Twrp will be flashed .
IMPORTANT !!
After flashing the TWRP file, you should boot directly into recovery by holding VOLUME DOWN+POWER BUTTON do not allow device to boot into home screen at first boot, otherwise stock recovery will be restored !!!
6. After booting into TWRP , FLASH THE ROOT FILE IMMEDIATELY !
WARNING !
if you don't flash the root file once in twrp, you might encounter a bootloop!
some users report a password prompt while in Twrp, just press "cancel" then go to twrp home screen , WIPE-FORMAT DATA, after formatting data , go back to twrp home screen -REBOOT-RECOVERY , after that flash the root file (make sure your root file is on an external sd card .
Just followed instructions word by word and successfully rooted my Asus Max SD 615 !

Well i guess if you follow it step by step there won't be any problem.If you get stuck at some point just comment here.And installing adb is just like the normal installation of any setup files in windows.Regarding the flashing of twrp there is nothing much to do than the steps mentioned above.If you still need a video go for this.https://youtu.be/kmq2Eyzl3wA NOTE:This video makes use of files for the sd410 model,so don't use the files in that video.Get the files from this post.This video can make you familiarize the process,but steps mentioned here is slightly different.

Internal Storage Files Missing
After I flashed TWRP and then entered it, it asked for a password to decrypt my storage. I didnt set any password for my phone so I pressed cancel after which came the TWRP menu. But once I selected the install option so as to flash the supersu file, I was unable to find my zip file in it. When I searched for solution, they said it was because my storage is encryted that I was'nt able to acces the data. They adviced to format data through wipe option in TWRP. But still no use. And to add to the problem, when I tried to reboot into system, I was left with a black screen and couln't get to the homescreen.
Please consider my problem and hoping for your fast reply.

Boot back into twrp home screen - WIPE- FORMAT DATA , after that, also from twrp , REBOOT-RECOVERY, after that, go ahead and flash the root file and then try to boot into home screen.
Place the root file on an external sd card.

I guess you have copied the super su file to external sd card.Formatting data as mentioned by jide1 did remove the encryption for me.If it doesn't work do advanced wipe with only the data,cache and dalvik cache boxes checked.Note:don't check any other box.Then reboot into twrp.Go to mount in twrp and see that your external sd is mounted.Now access the external sd card in install option and you will find the files of super su.
How to get into twrp recovery?

Flash twrp again ,disconnect usb cable from pc, then press and HOLD "volume down" AND "power button" when device vibrates, RELEASE "power button" WHILE still holding "volume down" , that should do the job.
Need stock boot.img
I require the stock boot.img so if anyone is kind enough to upload it, ill be greatful. Or if anyone knows how to extract it from the raw image, that'd also be appreciated.

Download the official firmware from Asus website and unpack the zip file, and you'll see the boot.img file there.
The BLU VIVO XL4 has arived.
Sorry this guide is not for very new users, it relies on certain amount of prior knowledge.
**NOTE**
Unlocking Bootloader WILL set warranty flag to "NO"
Make the read-back backup, BEFORE unlocking, so there is a possibility to restore warranty to "yes"
Getting SPFlash Tool to work on BLU VIVO XL4
I used sp flash tool version 5.18.28
Needs custom DA file and Auth file. Both have been found from a near clone device.
Open flash tool select the DA file and Auth file from the link below.
add the scatter file from archive. There is a preloader file in the archive also. This is needed for spflash tool to open the Auth file.
Stock Rom and Auth file
Then follow the guide found on youtube.
Not planning to go into too much detail about the actual pulling of the firmware, as there is already
a fantastic guide with step-by-step photos and also a video.
Just the basics
Pull stock rom with spflash tool once just from the "boot region" to get the preloader file.
Process that file with the Wwr_MTK tool to get partition table information.
And one more time pull as one large binary file from the "user region" then split it into
individual images using the tool called "Wwr_MTK" it can be found on other site(Hovatek). I cannot put a
link as it is against forum rules (no advertising other forums)
But there is a youtube video that describes the process. And gives link for download of the tool.
**NOTE-1**
The Wwr_MTK tool did not have the correct chip (mt6762 In fact the "family class" for the chip is mt6765) as an option. Because of this you will need to add it to the tool before using it. Open the downloaded zip.( I used "WwR_MTK_2.40_Eng" ). Open "Template.ini" with text editing software, in the section labeled "CPU" add "MT6765 2" , keep same format as the rest of the file. Save the changes and close Template.ini.
Now when you run the tool, you will be able to create the scatter file as you split the rom into files.
**NOTE-2**
The tool connects to internet and downloads fresh the files and scripts when you start it. There is a 30 second ad screen displayed. If you block internet to the tool, then the add screen turns into 2 minute wait screen. I am not suggesting that you hack the tool to by-pass it, just letting you know what to expect.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO MAKE YOUR OWN FULL BACKUP BEFORE PERFORMING THESE STEPS
AFTER YOU HAVE MADE FULL BACKUPS
Now to start modifying
DOWNLOAD
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
unlocking bootloader is no more complicated then then enabling OEM unlock toggle in dev options menu.
Then performing Command in terminal. Just like so many android devices.
Unlock Bootloader
1. Enable Developer options on phone:
open settings--> "about device"--> click build number 5-7 times--> go back one screen in settings
-->select more "more settings" --> scroll to bottom "Develpoer options" --> enable "usb debugging"
2. Open cmd or power shell terminal
3. reboot phone to bootloader with the following commands
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4.Once the phone has finished loading into fastboot mode type this command
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
I also did --MIGHT be an optional step
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
Do not think both were needed.
After each command when phone was rebooted,
it took extra time to open. But did not show the normal recovery screen while
it did the factory reset. But a reset did happen both times,
as I had the setup wizard each time.
Even after unlocking bootloader, doing a "fastboot boot *xyz.img" (boot or recovery test images)
Phone would only cycle to off then do a full reboot. Doing "fastboot flash boot boot.img" does flash the boot.
And "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" does flash the recovery.
TWRP
1. Download TWRP From Link above
2. Enable Developer options on phone:
open settings--> "about device"--> click build number 5-7 times--> go back one screen in settings
-->select "more settings" --> scroll to bottom "Develpoer options" --> enable "usb debugging"
3. Open cmd or power shell terminal
4. reboot phone to bootloader with the following commands
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
5. Now give the command to flash twrp, assuming you downloaded the file to default download folder
Code:
fastboot flash recovery %userprofile%\downloads\TWRP-3_2_3-1020-OMFG-mod_b6-device-name-vivo-wipe-misc.img
5. Reboot to twrp. Needed to boot directly to twrp, or stock recovery will be re-flashed by phone.
Code:
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
Once inside twrp It is asking for password to unlock (decrypt)***automatic decrypt not work on this device as of YET***
this is supposed to be same password used to unlock phone.
Because this twrp does not work with encryption, every time you reboot you will have to select language, if changed from default.
To get recovery to be functional, you need to make phone patched for both "DM-Verity" and "Force-encryption"
I do this with
"Universal Disabler"
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
There is similar utiliy built into this Recovery image.
to use the built in option , Select ADVANCED, Then RM Forceencrypt
This will flash the lazypatcher with options set to remove encryption both in boot.img and /vender/*fstab : remove dm-verity.
--OR-- manually do the following steps
Steps
1. Download Zip from Link above.
2. Open TWRP
3. Open Wipe menu
4. Select format /data
5. Key in "YES" and swipe
6. Return to Home Page of TWRP
7. Choose reboot menu then recovery
8. Recovery should now have access to Internal memory (temp for now)
9. Use abd push to put the zip file downloaded above to internal memory
Code:
adb push %userprofile%\downloads\Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.16.2018.zip /sdcard/
10. Select install menu , and install the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.16.2018.zip
Do not rename the file. It installs and makes the patch base on the file name.
If you want to have root also, then flash Magisk at this point.
Now the dm-verity and force encryption are off. You can flash gsi custom rom, if you desire. At the moment, I have only been able to boot the phone with working cell data and calls on the PHH-Phusion --vanilla builds. Do not know why the gapps versions do not allow rill to function.
As of the writing of this I have put up V4 of the TWRP port. This version uses the correct mount points for this phone, not the ones from the source of the port. Also corrected the device name in default.prop, to match device name. Build fingerprint has been left as is. Fixed the micro sdcard name and OTG names. Added mipe to the "misc" /"para" partition to escape a factory reset recovery loop that [uu]could[/u] happen under certain situations.
And my prefered ported recovery from LRTeam TWRP-3_2_3-1020-OMFG-mod_b6-device-name-vivo-wipe-misc.img.

Kernel sources have been published 12-12-2018, by BLU
I have them synced to GitHub while I make test builds.
https://github.com/mrmazakblu/BLU-VIVO-XL4-kernel
Default defconfig should be arch/arm64/config/k62mv1_64_bsp_defconfig. Based off of build description in "getprop"
Built kernel has not been able to be booted yet.
TWRP is first ported and provided thanks to @Voinea12
.
placeholder not really welcomed here on XDA
just pm a moderator or report this thread when you`re ready to upload something, until then, thread closed
After seeing that the Blu vivo xl4 requires an "auth file" in order to flash with spflash tool, I asked BLU to supply the file.
They responded with a big fat NO.
.......
.......
THE NEXT DAY THE FILE WAS POSTED ON A DIFFERENT THREAD.
SO THERE HELP WAS NO LONGER NEEDED.
Just made successfull readback on preloader. and currently reading full rom.
will post link when done.
here is auth file and DA file I used.
pulled firmware is here.
there are more images in complete firmware, but the ones included should be enough , as long as you NEVER do format all from spflash tool.
STOCK ROM
So far all attempts to load twrp have failed.
Also just tried to flash boot.img with the built kernel. When rebooted, phone just stayed on black screen. No back-light , nothing.
Just a repeating connect disconnect sound from pc. Long pressing power and trying to get into the bootloader menu failed.
Was able to Que up sp flash tool and keep holding the volume down button , on the next time it cycled on off preloader was caught and i was able to flash back the correct boot.img.
Working version is available now
Thread was opened.

My streak with SP Flash is still a losing one, the auth file works for my phone as well (Blu Vivo XI+), I just used the preloader.img that was in the update.zip and ran it through the WwR MTK Tool and got the preloader.bin to go with the auth file as you indicated you had done, that was one hurdle that your post helped me solve, but for some reason when I start reading the full rom I get about 6-10 MB into it and then it disconnects from my phone and stops. Not sure if its driver related or what, which drivers did you use for the readback?

To be honest I have not installed driver specific for this. I have vcomm drivers installed, same from couple years ago.
Is the readback stopping because you set wrong hex address length in the readback tab?

No, I got the readback of the EMMC_USER just fine and ran it through the WwR MTK tool and it gave me the hex address to use for the full rom readback, t then told me
Code:
The file size is smaller than the start position of the LK (uboot). To determine the type of processor and memory, it is necessary to read the full firmware in the SP Flash Tool, specify the parameters for reading: Start address: 0x0, Lenght: 0x1D1EC00000.
So I entered those two addresses as EMMC_USER readback. If my phone is off and I just connect it to the usb without holding any keys it gives me another error.....and I'm an idiot. just figured it out as I was looking at logs, apparently I must have changed the usb speed in sp flash which changes it's pid causing it to try and read from another port. It's downloading now
Thanks to @hanuma there is now a material themed twrp port.

******EDIT*****
Most of the following problems did not repeat in same way when I tried to repeat the install process.
Main issue was with simcard. But exact process to get installed and working is still not known.
-- install after already having rooted, encryption removed stock, seems to work.
-- fresh full stock rom, full encryption, then gsi seems to not work sim card.
PHH-treble gsi images do boot this device. I do not have a bug list as yet.
working:WITH encryption removed:
1. wifi
2. camera
3. fingerprint- unlock
4. music
5. video
NOT working :WITH encyyption removed:
1. cell signal
2. cell data
3. phone
4. sms
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
working:WITH encryption enabled
1. phone
2. sms
NOT working:WITH encryption enabled
1.. everything else
EDIT
Much of the force closing problems were from a corrupted external sdcard. When I removed the card , the force close messages did not come.
Getting 4G data connection was not stable. after a full reset and rom re-install I was not able to get data connection, and only able to have connection to make calls when set to 3G connection only.
some bugs in vendor I assume will need some help solving this.
EDIT 2
Finally got around to trying again. his time I started with vanilla version of phh-treble gsi.
4G data and sms, calls in out all work. Camera , video both work.
WiFi tethering did not work.
Setup that worked :
force encryption removed with universal dm-verity patcher, ( bothboot.img and vendor partitions both edited).
magisk patched boot

It should. I have been working with few users with Xi+ it works for them. And another user of Xi provided a twrp port, but no details on if this read-back worked. It must have, I suppose it must have.
Please do try to do the readback for your self, and share the files. will help with twrp if I can
Guide has been revised.
The original guide suggests to format /data and patch device to remove force encryption. This works fine for stock rom, and modifying stock rom. But I have found that removing encryption will not allow the phone to work as a phone when flashed with GSI. The down side is, at the moment, there is no twrp that is working to read the encrypted /data.

No, you need fastboot(PC preogram) to unlock bootloader and either sp flash tool or fastboot to flash recovery.

I just did this, and it worked the first time. I got into the phone and set it up. But it was super laggy after a while. So I decided to reset the phone like how you would normally do to fix a problem, and now... it’s making me boot into the recovery each and every time I try and boot into the system... i installed the gsi rom "PixelExperience for AOnly" at max lees site

dont panic. this is minor bug. Easiest way to solve is to flash stock recovery. and do factory reset from there.
You can install image from twrp or fastboot, even spflashtool.
It is from the flag that is set into para(misc) partition.
You can clear it manually with terminal also, or even use one of the othe rtwrp images I shared. One with "misc" in the file name.
If you use one of those recoveries and do reset will also clear that reboot condition

YO! Oaky so basic laly when i flashed that misc recovery IT BOOTED!!!!! thank you soo much dude, your the best!
Welcome to this little thread in which I'll provide every useful information about this device based on my and other users's experiences. If you know something, that I didn't mention, please reply to this thread in order to help out each other even more effectively. Thanks and pleasant reading!
The Lenovo S5 Pro is a very decent mid-ranger with good specs and even better pricing. We all know, that chinese manufacturers tend to install bloatware on their products time to time. In our case, Lenovo didn't release a single update since 2018 Novemer to this device. It means, that it came out with Android 8.1 Oreo (2018 November Security Patch) and left untouched. This is even worse, than Meizu which is famous for it's neglecting policy of software updates for global users. Now, that we know all this, it's not a surprise, that we are here on our favourite developer forum.
*** General information | Links | Downloads | Credits ***
The official global firmware is now saved and available (thanks to our forum member nikosddesign) here: download & link to the post
Everything you will possibly need (PC software, drivers, stock camera app, VoLTE modem etc...) is available in this Yandex Disk, you just have to navigate to each one. (Most of the content is in russian, since Yandex is the russian Google, but it's not hard to find the files you'll need).
The previous links and the following tutorials are only available, because suninterbru (from 4pda forums) and radiationofthenation provided these informations and the tutorials, also so much thanks to everybody on the 4pda forums, who provided useful information and files, большое спасибо!
Even though the bootloader unlock, TWRP install and rooting should not cause data loss, be careful and create a backup. You can back up only your files and data or your whole ROM, it's up to you.
Please note, that after you've unlocked your bootloader, everytime your reboot or turn on your phone a warning will pop up during the boot process for about 1 second. On Android 9.0 Pie vendor the message pops up for about 5 seconds. The warning is about the side effects of modifying the system software and it also says, that it is not recommended to store any personal data on your device anymore. Please ignore this message, since it's only popping up, because manufacturers usually don't like, if you modify your device.
Pro tip: If you keep pressing your power button for a little longer you can skip the alert and boot faster.
*** Bootloader unlock ***
Please note, that your warranty will become invalid/void after you unlock your bootloader or root your device.
0. In your device's developer settings enable bootloader/OEM unlock and USB debugging.
1. Visit the official ZUI bootloader unlock website.
2. Enter your IMEI1 number in the first field. (You can find your IMEI numbers in Settings\About or in the dialer enter: *#06#).
3. Enter your serial number in the second field. (You can find your serial number in the fastboot menu). The one in the settings is not good in this case! (To access the fastboot menu, turn off your phone, then press the power button and after you see your screen light up, immediately press the volume down (-) button or while it's turned on and USB Debugging is enabled, simply type in the terminal/cmd ,,adb reboot bootloader").
4. In the next field enter your email adress. (Please note, that Tutanota won't work, Gmail is recommended or other not secure email providers).
5. Enter the verification numbers in the last field.
6. Tick the checkbox.
8. Click on the blue button.
7. Now check your inbox and/or spam folder, because Lenovo just sent you your custom sn.img, only for your phone.
8. Save the sn.img to your PC and install ADB drivers system-wide. (Thank you Snoop05 for your work)!
9. Open a terminal/cmd on Windows. You should be in the same directory, where your sn.img file is, with the terminal. To change directories type ,,cd your directory goes here" and hit ENTER.
10. Run the following commands:
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash unlock sn.img
- fastboot oem unlock-go
11. Congratulations! Your bootloader is now unlocked!
*** TWRP Recovery ***1. Download the .img file from here.
2. The steps are similar to the bootloader unlocking:
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash ,,downloaded" .img
- After the flashing is done DON'T reboot to the system, instead navigate to the ,,Reboot Recovery or Recovery Reboot" option and select it. (Volume keys and power key - you know the drill) This will ensure, that the TWRP Recovery doesn't get ereased on reboot(s)!
3. After you've successfully rebooted into TWRP, you should root your device with Magisk, to prevent the recovery erasure!
*** ROOT ***1. The good old SuperSU is no longer in the picture, but don't worry a new player is in the game. Download Magisk from here. (Thank your for your work topjohnwu)!
2. After you've downloaded the flashable .zip copy it to the main directory/root of your device.
3. Reboot to TWRP.
4. Click install, select the flashable .zip file.
5. The installation process should start.
6. Reboot, after finished.
7. Check if Magisk Manager is installed or not, if yes tap and update it.
8. If you did not succeed, please check the Magisk topic for solutions or reply to this thread.
*** Factory reset | Stock ROM | Unbrick | LOST IMEI/PERSIST/EFS | QCN BACKUP/RESTORE ***
!!! NEVER EVER TICK ,,ERASE ALL BEFORE DOWNLOAD" IN QFIL, OTHERWISE YOU WILL LOSE YOUR IMEI AND THE ABILITY TO CONNECT TO MOBILE NETWORKS !!!
If you accidentally clicked on that option you will have to restore someone elses QCN backup. (It will not work, if you backup your own QCN and rewrite your IMEI and restore it, so do not waste your time with that)! Luckily, a member of the 4PDA forums published their qcn backup. (большое спасибо geepnozeex)! QCN backup for Lenovo S5 Pro. (I modified the link, because the original one is no longer valid)
1. Download the linked QCN file.
2. Make sure, that you are on one of the Stock ROMs, however the recommended ROM is this one.
3. You will have to be rooted to put your device in diagnostics mode. To do that, follow this tutorial.
4. You will have to edit the QCN file with HxD, in order to write your own IMEI into.
5. Open the file with HxD and search for 08 8A 76 06 06 14 57 95 32. This is the IMEI 2. You will have to insert your IMEI 2 from the box here, but first you will have to convert it into Hexadecimal numbers.
6. Convert your IMEIs into Hexadecimal numbers here.
7. You will have to rewrite and insert your values insted of the previous one.
8. Search for 08 8A 76 06 06 04 67 98 72. This is IMEI 1. Convert your IMEI 1 into Hexadecimal numbers, too and replace.
9. Save the file (Ctrl + s)
10. Open QFIL and click on Tools, then QCN Backup/Restore.
11. Choose the QCN file, you wrote your IMEI into.
12. Click on Restore QCN.
13. There is a chance, that the process/progress bar won't finish till the end. No problem, just reboot to EDL mode through TWRP/Advanced and restore the recommended stock ROM.
14. You should have everything working fine, now.
To factory reset or unbrick your device, follow this tutorial on 4PDA. [Don't panic you don't have to know russian, just follow the instructions on the pictures! To see the pictures, click on the bold text.] ,,(спойлер (+) (Инструкция по прошивке)" ~ or ~ Download any of the previously linked STOCK ROMs to your device's main folder and flash them through TWRP. Most of them are in flashable .zip formats and should work well. A simple factory reset in TWRP is recommended before installing any of the ROMs, be careful this action will erease your data from your phone!
(Please note, that most of the time you'll have to use the QPST/QFIL method, because the flashable .zip files always expect a specific vendor version, usually a lower one, so you can upgrade with flashable .zips, but possibly can't downgrade, so you have to use QFIL)!
*** GSI custom ROMs ***
Our device is arm64-aonly, so please only use according GSIs. Note, that I will link only those GSIs, which are booted successfully on my device!
~ phhusson's official GSI list: here
~ phhusson's AOSP GSI (Android Open Source Project): here
~ developerluke's ExpressLuke GSIs: here
~ eremitein's CAOS GSI Project: here
~ eremiten's LOSQ GSI Project: here
~ igors1974's Amber GSIs: here
~ tunasahinn's and yek4perf's Tunahan's GSI builds: here
~ mrsshunt3r's albus-gsi: here
Note, that you should keep up with the developments and update your system, if needed! These are just a few GSIs, that I've tested personally on my phone, but you can always keep up with the latest news and try new GSIs out, thanks to phhusson's official GSI list!
*** How to flash an Android 10 GSI ***
1. Download the latest custom phh-magisk from here. (Thank you developerluke and phhusson)!
2. Download the latest Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt from here. (Thank you Zackptg5 and others)!
3. Download your desired GSI.
4. You can flash from an USB-OTG flash drive or from the storage of your phone. (I personally have a dedicated USB for this purpose).
4.1 If you are coming from stock ROM you will most likely need to Format Data in this step, because the Disabler won't be able to decrypt the data and, that will cause a stuck at the boot logo!
4.2 Reboot Recovery
5. In TWRP perform a normal factory reset
6. Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt. (Cache wipe is optional).
7. Flash your GSI image.
8. Format Data (Skip this step if you already did this in 4.1)!
9. Reboot Recovery (Skip this step, too if you already did this in 4.2)!
10. Flash Magisk-phh
(11. Wipe cache/dalvik).
12. Reboot System
13. Enjoy!
*** Possible GSI bugs ***
Please note, that bugs can differ/vary on different GSIs, the numbers are not fully accurate!
1. The default camera app will work, however it doesn't support HDR, panorama or portrait modes. It also can't record in 4K resolution. Freezing is also possible. ~ 50%
2. First time, when you open the camera it'll stuck on loading, but after you go back and open it again it will work flawlessly. ~ 50%
3. No audio/microphone during phone calls. ~ 15%
*** Guaranteed GSI bugs*** 1. The infrared face unlocking will not work, only fingerprint authentication is working. ~ 100%
2. You won't be able to charge your device while it's turned off, after you plug it in, it will automatically boot up. ~ 100%
3. Auto brightness. ~ 100% (There is a fix for auto brightness below)!
*** Camera fix (GSI) ***
(If you get ,,serious camera error" or your camera freezes on HDR)
1. Download a custom camera app, where you can manually adjust the ISO level.
2. With OpenCamera, for example you have to adjust ISO to 800 and never above, because your camera will freeze!
3. So, always keep ISO 800 or under. With these settings even HDR shots are working!
*** Auto brightness (GSI) ***1. Download framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk from this thread.
2. Follow the instructions, which are described in this post. (You will need to have root to use ,,su" commands).
3. Thank you MishaalRahman and kAs1m for the apk and the instructions!
Twrp disappears when restarting
Help, twrp disappears when restarting. After installing it by: "fastboot flash recovery trwp.img". right there I start it with the "Vol + Power" keys and it starts correctly but when you turn it off and back in, "stock recovery" appears again. I also installed it again using the same twrp, but it disappears again.

You should not have flash the recovery image to the boot partition. These partitions are not the same, be careful! Now you can save your data from TWRP via MTP connection to your computer. After that restore your phone with QPST to the latest pie ROM or to the oreo ROM from yandex. The oreo ROM is flashable from recovery, it is easier.

You should do the oreo version, if your were on the global oreo ROM. After that you can try the pie version, if nothing works don't worry you can do a backup of your data from twrp to your computer and flash a custom ROM or the chinese Pie version, which is recommended. With root access you can easily debloat the chinese ROM and with AdAway you can disable all communications pointing to chinese servers or websites. I also found these. Maybe you can give them a try.
After a few hours I was finally able to install the "Chinese stock rom", although I struggled, since the files of the "rom" of the l58041 do not quite coincide with the "stupdroid" tutorial and some files have two different versions, something like that:
here I chose the "ddr" .
prog_emmc_firehose_xxxx_ddr.mbn (.elf). prog_emmc_firehose_xxxx.lite.mbn (.elf).
here I chose the "retain_userdata".
rawprogram0.xml. rawprogram0_retain_userdata.xml.
and in qfil "Flat Build", however I don't know if it was the right thing because at the beginning I was asked for a password ("but that's another topic").
To add a language (without root), use local more apk.

To root the "radiationofthenation" thread worked me.

I'm glad it is working for you now. Yes, you are right the tutorials flap at some points, but there are other tutorials which you can follow and make it work. For the first time I was struggling with the restoration, too. You will see, that the chinese ROM is quite good, you just have to uninstall the bloatware and disable spying DNS requests.

Ohh, explain more about spying. And also if you know something about the message that Android told me when I start. I remember that I flashed twrp.img using "fastboot", and when I asked for a password to decrypt, it only allowed me to clear cache and dalvit cache (I did wipe), and when I started again I showed a message saying that I was encrypting and a percentage, just here, I interrupted the process by turning off the cell phone, and flashed again with qfil (download). So when I start I just remember that I said something about the cell phone being restored and then I could restore the copy with my Google account. So what I think is that when the message of "TO START ANDROID ENTER YOUR PASSWORD" is displayed, it may work to interrupt or perhaps to put the incorrect password many times to automatically reset or also choose "rawprogram0.xml" in qfil (but I did not dare because it deletes it the information related to the imeil and the signal or at least that says some comments ). Now there is only one who can interpret what happened and to have clearer the restoration process, the rom seems to me very much the problem of the language is solved with "more local", I am from Mexico (At & t).

Hi everyone,
I have rooted my last few smartphones and was always happy with it. Now I got new Blackview BV9800 PRO and I want to root it with Magisk. but as the phone is new, there is lack of information on the internet, Anyway, I have found some information, but it is not complete and I believe You, smart guys, can help me to root my smartphone
This is the information I got:
How to root it with Magisk :
Download your rom from : viewtopic.php?f=285&t=532354 (you can alternatively extract it with SP Flash Tool and WWR)
Download and install Magisk Manager on your phone : https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/rel ... v7.5.0.apk
Patch the boot image with Magisk Manager
Unlock the bootloader. (Wipe the phone! )
Flash the patched boot image with SP Flash Tool or Fastboot. (ONLY the boot image)
Reinstall Magisk Manager
This is what I did and what happened:
I installed latest Magisk apk from official sources. I opened the app, clicked on "Install Magisk", then via this app I downloaded the zip file, then tried to installed it via Magisk but got an error "Unsupported/Unknown image format".
Any ideas what have I done wrong? Did I have to flash boot image from the ROM, and not the one Magisk downloaded? P.S., the smartphone is new, nothing more then I written above is done to it (no oem unlocking, no usb debugging, etc).
RESERVED
I let Magisk manager patch the original boot.img. After flashing it with fastboot or SP Flash the phone stuck with message that verified boot didn't accept the signature.
Hm... Is there anyone who rooted BV9800 Pro successfuly and could guide us? ?
update fail.
I greet you, I accidentally deleted it when I updated, Nvram. on my phone. BV9800pro. It is possible to provide me with firmware recovered from a similar phone. I also posted on the forum at Blackview but without answer
Isn't there a full firmware download on Blackview website available? I thought I've seen it there

Hello
Yesterday during an update, by accident, my equipment, BV9800pro, performed a complete formatting, "Full Format + Dowload", it seems that Nvram has also been rewritten. it is possible to provide us with a solution or file with this data, specific to our equipment. i need a original nvram.bin, and nvram.data, in firmware from Blackview site this its not exist..
if someone wants to help me, I send them a private message with their email address
My phone is not rooted unfortunatelly, if I can help in anyway (if there is a way) I would pull out the files for You.
Do You know how to guaranteed root BV9800 Pro without running into problems?

rooting worked for me with that solution given to the PM. I wanted to install AOSP, but I found that the thermal image did not work anymore, there were some problems when previewing the video files from Facebook, and I gave up. from the mistake as I mentioned I format + dowload and delete all important partitions. nvram .bin si nvdata. Nothing works properly, TEE and Google Key are inactive, the thermal image fails, some applications are closed immediately. This is the experience with rooting and installing AOSP on the BV9800Pro
Oh man... Sounds bad... have You emailed blackview after sale support (via email, not forum)? No response from them?
And let's say I only root my BV9800Pro, will I be able to send You the files You need?

As I mention there's no TWRP available for this phone yet.

You don't need to SP flash tool or others, just need adb and fastboot.
Quick steps:
1. set OEM unlock to allow
2. connect phone to windows
3. use adb to check if connecting. command: adb devices
4. using adb to reboot to bootloader, command: adb reboot bootloader
5. And then the phone will enter fastboot mode ( you could see small string at left bottom corner)
6. use fastboot command to unlock bootloader. command: fastboot flashing unlock
7. If fastboot program is waiting, please check windows device manager, there should be an unknown device, let windows search driver automatically. it needs android interface driver.
8.Using volume up or down to agree unlock.
9. If agree, all data will be disappeared.
10. Install Magisk manger
11. Download stock ROM from blackview forum. it is zip file. Unzip it and copy boot-verified.img to phone.
12. patch boot.img by Magisk manger.
13. Copy patch image file to windows
14. use adb to reboot phone to fastboot mode
15. reflash boot image file. command: fastboot flash boot patched file name (normally, I would put patch image file in the same folder of fastboot)
16. reboot (fastboot reboot) and reinstall Magisk manager
There are many Magisk root steps instruction in internet. You could refer to other steps, they should be clear than mine. I prepared lots of drivers and application. Finally, I only used adb and fastboot to root this phone.
I rooted it exactly like You and it worked perfectly! Thanks for auch detailed rooting guide!
By the way guys, I think we Should open the request for TWRP for BV9800Pro. How do You think?
After you unlocked bootloader, it changed to orange state, and it always shows "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..Your device will boot in 5 seconds", it could be resolved by modified LK image.
Refer to
1. https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-31664.html
2. http://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?f=286&t=532899 -- included modified LK image
Of course, you could reflash by fastboot, no need to use SP flash tool.
hi if u have back up on your phone could u provide for me link. I had some problems with my loudspeaker and i thought its from the root, or software and i did full format and download. and now it show some watermark and probably is because i l deleted NVRAM.
i download already official version but didn't help ... thank u upfront.

Hi, I'm not rooted (yet) and my BV9800 PRO is having some issues with the loudspeaker, any media like YouTube or Spotify, play audio for a second or two and then just go mute, volume can be high but no audio at all, phone calls last longer but also go mute and have to go back to regular "ear-speaker" to keep listen to the other side. Are this the same problems you refer to? I can't remember if this happened after the OTA update tho. Thank you.
