Would it be necessary to disable "Update CM recovery"? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would one answer following questions?
1. When I am enabling USB debugging on my One Plus One by following path: Setting->Developer Options->USB debugging. On the same screen just above this enablement you could see "Update CM recovery" with box ticked. Should this be unticked for Unlocking Bootloader and Root One Plus One in preparation for a custom ROM flashing.? see attached Photo:
http://ibb.co/3vHz377
If I am to Flash the Lineage Custom ROM
1. Do I have to Download SuperSU? If yes, Could I put that into the folder where the ADB & USB Drivers are saved?
2. I downloaded TWRP for bacon from google. Version twrp-3.3.0 bacon.img. On desktop when I double click it I get a massage box titled "Couldn't mount file" with in the box message reads The disc image file is corrupted. I am using Win 10 professional with virus protection on.
3. Should I deactivate virus protection on my desk top Win 10 computer, when I connect my OPO to flash TWRP image?
4. How do I transfer downloaded SuperSU to the internal memory of my device? I understand I connect my device OPO to computer and where do I find the internal memory?
I am very grateful for your time and answer.
Thanking you in advance .

Yuphoria rooting guide new method

Recently i have purchased new yuphoria device which comes with latest YNH1TBS2P2 update. When i tried to root it with methods available on this site , it fails. So i have to discover new method for it. Today i have discovered the new method and I am posting it here. For that download the rooting kit from below and also install pdanet driver from its official site.
Yuphoria new rooting kit
First of all you have to enable developer option in option menu. To do that go to option menu then goto about , search built number and tap it till the message popup that said enabled the developer option. Then go to developer option and start the advance reboot option.
Now plug in the Yuphoria device and copy the TWRP folder from downloaded zip file to in root of phone memory and memory card. Then copy supersu.zip in root of phone memory. Now press and hold power button and select rebbot then bootloader then ok.
Now your mobile boots in fastboot mode. Now run the run.bat file in adb_fastboot folder. After that a command prompt is popup and closed automatically and you hear the sound of device removal in your PC , instantly disconnect the data cable from your phone and wait for a minute. Twrp recovery starts and then select install zip option and select the supersu.zip file from your phone. slide the button at bottom and restart phone. Now your phone is rooted.
Note: you have to unlock bootloader for this method.
edit I have found yu team have made system read-only so general peoples are found difficulties to flash custom recovery and to root.

For this method you have to unlock bootloader and unlocking boot loader will erase your internal memory

[Easy Guide] How to downgrade, root and install custom ROM on Vodafone Smart Ultra 6

Many of us are using 6.0.1 with this device. And we can tell you would want to root this device... otherwise you wouldn't be here.
To root the device you are required to downgrade to 5.1.1. Recently ZTE has removed all the official ROMs for this device that contain 5.1.1 files. This was the most common way to downgrade, by downloading these files and side loading them with ADB. However, I have found a Romanian version of the 5.1.1 ROM that is suitable for the root process.
You will need:
Vodafone Smart Ultra 6
A computer
ADB Platform tools
Micro-USB Cable
Firstly, download the platform-tools.zip from: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
-extract the platform-tools.zip and place the folder anywhere on your computer.
Secondly, download the Romanian stock ROM from: https://bit.ly/2IwkUCT
-extract it and move the update.zip folder into the platform-tools folder.
Lastly, download the TWRP recovery from: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424952165
Now, make sure you have the Android USB Drivers installed. You can download from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
Now that is out of the way, lets flash the ROM onto your phone.
Reboot the phone into recovery. (Power button + VOL up (release the power button 2 seconds after "powered by android" logo, otherwise it will reboot)) Also plug in the phone to PC.
Now, select 'Apply update from adb'.
On the computer, head to the platform-tools folder and open CMD with that directory. (you know, the cd C:blah\blah\blah)
Type in
Code:
adb devices
to check if your device is detected by the computer. If it shows the device name along with sideload, then it is fine.
Then, type in
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
Wait until the process is complete and the phone says 'Install from ADB was complete.' in the bottom left of the screen on the phone.
Reboot the phone and you should see Android 5.1.1 setup screen in the Romanian language. Set it to the language you desire and connect to Wi-Fi. Log into your Google Account and do not set up a lock on the phone.
Now, head to Google Chrome and download KingRoot apk: https://kingroot.net/
Install the APK and try to root. It should work.
Now, go into Google Play Store, and install Rashr Flash Tool: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=en_GB
Move the TWRP recovery img file from the PC to the phone, and then open the Rashr Flash App and grant root permissions.
Scroll down till you see the 'Recovery from Storage' option. Select that and flash the recovery img.
Now, that should work. When it is complete, find and download the custom ROM you would like to flash. In my case, I will be using the MIUI 7 ROM. (links of other ROMs below.)
Transfer it to the phone and reboot to recovery. Once you are in recovery, wipe everything except internal storage and flash the ROM. After flashing, then you can wipe internal storage and reboot. You can also root if you desire.
You have now installed a custom recovery and a custom ROM to your phone. Give ya self a pat on the back.:good:
List of ROMs you can install on this device:
MIUI 7: https://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/377403-port-rom-miui-v7-beta-for-vsu6/
Flyme 5.1.5.13 LP: https://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/377296-port-rom-flyme-os-51513-lp/

Outstanding guide
Thank you
I don't understand this bit, sorry
"On the computer, head to the platform-tools folder and open CMD with that directory. (you know, the cd C:blah\blah\blah)"
Does any 5.1.1 stock ROM works? the link for the Romanian is no longer available.
Thanks.
Link is down, i am betting zte or vodafone did a dmca takedown on it
Is it possible to get a new link?
Thanks in advance

Hey, happy to help!
Open Command Prompt (CMD) on your computer and browse to the directory of your platform-tools folder.
command example: cd C:\platform-tools
- I suggest keeping your platform-tools in the root directory of your C: Drive to access it quickly
Alternatively, go to the platform-tools folder with Windows Explorer, and SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK inside the folder. Then select "Open powershell window here" After that, type in cmd for the first command and continue with the guide.
If you have "open command prompt window here" then that is fine, you don't have to type in cmd.

Thanks for the link. The rom has Google FRP enabled, so to bypass it, I followed this vid:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFd33_kiEzo
I'm not sure how safe this guys APK is, but it did work. If there's an easier / better way to bypass FRP, please let us know.

Kingroot not installing
Followed all the instructions - adb and installing Romanian ROM... but they get stuck on the Kingroot bit - "app not installed".
Done some searching on the 'net for a solution; even tried this FRP bypass (although I don't fully understand it and all it did was ask for my Google password - worrying - and then did feck all else!).
Any ideas, please?

Sorry for late reply, I assume you may have already fixed the issue. If not, try install a different kingroot APK with a different package. You might also get the warning telling you that this app may do permanent damage to your device, allow it and install.
Also, FRP stands for Factory Reset Protection. It is Google way of iCloud Lock, where if your phone is erased without authentication then it will lock itself on the Android Setup screen. Asking you to log in to the Google Account that was previously on the device before it was erased. There are services that fix this, or you can even bypass this yourself with some methods. But if a site asked you for your password for FRP then that is definitely a scam.
Sadly, I do not have the phone anymore so I cannot go in-depth the errors no more. But I will try and help as much as possible. ?
Also contact me on my Telegram for faster replies, it's a lot more easier for me: t.me/yomarshmellow

Hello! How to Russify Vodafone Smart Ultra 6??
I was trying to KIngRoot on a stock ROM with instruction from Modaco and it was not working either.
Hi, I have followed the steps above and downgrade the VSU6 to 5.1.1 but unfortunately the phone goes to a loop when booting (optimizing applications 1 to 14). I have been able to enter in recovery mode and switch it off. Is there anything I can do to fix the mobile? I appreciate if somebody could advise me what to do.
Update; I did a factory reset and telephone boot in version 5.1.1. (Turkish Edition)
The problem now is that I can not root the phone; I have tried KingrRoot and at third attempt it rooted the phone for a few minutes. Now KingRoot does not even try to root. I have tried kingo ROOT and it took ages, it indicated the phone as Rooted but it wasn't. Anybody knows how to root this mobile successfully?
Latest update: Finally installed Magisk throw TWRP and this automatically ROOT the mobile so it could be that it was not necessary to downgrade phone to 5.1.1. After this I used TWRP to install nutsda modified LineageOS 14.1 and gappss; everything is working.

[OnePlus6] Phone frozen (bricked?) while installing Kali NetHunter.

Wanted to install NetHunter on my phone to learn. Here is a story of a foolish student decided to make his life difficult:
Device: OnePlus 6
Model: A6000
Android 10
Here are the steps I followed:
Followed these two documentations:
1) https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/installing-nethunter/#1-nethunter-support-and-pre-built-images
2) https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/
So downloaded the zip image > put android in developer mode with OEM and advanced reboot and debugging enabled > Fastboot menu
Then I followed this guide for step 3-5 from link 1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-flash-twrp-root-nandroid-efs-backup.3792643/
(a little bit google reading said TWRP takes care of A/B style devices by itself no special steps needed)
Set up the windows machine with fastboot, adb and device drivers > run the command "fastboot oem unlock" > transferred twrp zip to the device internal storage > then flashed the new recovery mode "fastboot boot twrp.img" > install and selected the twrp zip that I had saved in internal storage before > reboot > system.
So far worked perfectly.
Then I downloaded the Magisk apk from github and installed it by transferring it to internal storage.
Next for step 6 from link 1:
I again download the ForceEncrypt disabler from zip and transfer it to internal storage then flash it using TWRP.
So far no errors.
Now the final step should have been to flash the nethunter zip image and this is where the problems started:
I tried to flash it using TWRP but it gave me an error about there not being enough storage.
Saw a YT video where he extracts the nethunter zip and via the magisk app does a install on the tar file found inside the extracted folder. This also failed.
After a bit google it said it was because I did not have custom ROM and chroot and lineageOS should solve my problem.
I flash the LineageOS zip image using TWPR > successful but says I should switch the slot to complete the zip files installed.
After switching and rebooting, fastboot goes to lineage always and its a bootloop , so no matter what I select its always reaching the same screen and I cant tranfer zip to internal anymore to try a different build.
So now I run the command fastboot boot twrp.img again and go back to slot A.
Now my phone is stuck in bootloader. No matter what option I select out of the 4:
Start
Recovery mode
restart bootloader
power off
(latter two work as expected technically)
I always end up on the same screen.
After connecting the phone it is showing it as connected in "fastboot devices" now but fastbood is not able to flash or boot any image to it: either freezes or unknown error. "adb devices" shows no devices.
Practically begging for help right now.
To fix your phone, you should use this recovery tool.

I had the same issue after trying to install nethunter myself. Unfortunately for me the MSMDownload tool wouldn't work because I couldn't get the phone to stay off, it would just boot back up into bootloader/fastboot mode as soon as I connected to the computer via usb cable.
Here's the solution that will work 100%. Go to this website below and download the stock OOS zip file for your phone, in my case it was the Oneplus 6T fastboot ROM. Unpack the files into your platform-tools folder, click skip all if it asks you if you want to replace any files in that folder, then run the flash-all.bat and it will unbrick your device. Keep in mind that it will unroot your device and remove twrp as well. There's a thread here that explains how to do it manually so that doesn't happen but its a bit of work to get it done that way.

Can someone help me to understand this custom ROM installation?

Hello, I'm new here, I've been dealing with certain ROM mods for a little while. My test device is an old Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (GTI9195). Now I've been sitting for a few days trying to figure out how to bring my device up to date as best as possible. Lineage OS seemed the best to me. Unfortunately there is no officially confirmed software for my device directly from Lineage, which is why I looked elsewhere. I came across this thread on XDA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...520-r890-unofficial-11-0-0-lineageos-18-1-for -s4-mini.4189967/ . The user arco68 is, so to speak, the boss among S4 mini modifications. Unfortunately, I can't find exact instructions anywhere (especially for the recovery) on how to install all the packages correctly. That's why I researched. I was able to record various steps, but cannot determine if they are correct. Can someone on this forum please help me? My steps:
1. Turn on developer options
2. Turn off OEM encryption (if available)
3. USB debugging on.
4. Download and install Android platform tools in Path
5. Download and zip Magisc
7. Put the phone in bootloader/fastboot/download mode (volume down + home)
8. Flash Team Win Recovery Project (or other custom recovery).
9. Restart phone and boot into recovery mode (volume up + home + power)
10. Erase all data
11. Copy Google Apps to Phone (Optional)
12. Copy Lineage OS (or other custom rom) to phone
13. Install packages one by one (OS first)
14. Reboot device
15. Wait and set up
Okay, First of all requirement-
A portable sd card- Because after flashing twrp, you might face issue where you can't access internal storage from twrp. That's because the phone might be encrypted. You have to decrypt it by flashing a "disable dm verity- forceencrypt.zip". In this case, you might not be able to transfer files from pc when booted into twrp. So, It's a smart move to insert a sd card containing all required files before to avoid these problems.
Another requirement is samsung drivers installed in pc. I will attach that file.
Follow these steps -
1/Unlock bootloader -Go to developer options. Turn on oem unlocking. It will tell you that you're going to loss all data. Proceed. If it doesn’t tell you anything, then there is definitely some extra process to unlock bootloader of your device.(search on internet)
2/Download your phone's official firmware in pc- it will help you if anything goes wrong. Search " Sm fw" on google. Go to first site. Create an account. Search the model number, Download a firmware that matches with all your device's information in "About phone".
3/ Download the lineageos rom and twrp recovery for your model. Then install device info hw from play store to check bits(32/64). Search open gapps. Go to the website. "arm" is for 32 bit & "arm64" is for 64 bit. Select which matches to your device’s bit. Then select the android version of the custom rom. Then select "Pico". Download the file. Next, download latest magisk 25.2 from github page. Rename the apk file to "magisk.zip" Move rom,gapps, magisk.zip to SD CARD. Keep twrp in pc.
4/In pc, download latest odin software. It's an special software for samsung download mode. (There is no fastboot mode in samsung)
5/Boot your device into download mode. And connect with pc.
6/In pc, extract the twrp file(If It's in zip format). Open odin software, Go to options, turn off auto reboot. Now select "AP" & select that extracted twrp file. Click open. Then hit start button.
(Note that most of the samsung devices can't boot stock rom after flashing twrp. So you have to flash custom rom to boot your device. Follow the next step)
7/Boot into twrp wipe>format data>type "yes". Press home button. Install>Select storage>SD card>select the rom.zip. Then add more zips> select the gapps.zip. Again, add more zips> select magisk.zip. After all, swipe to flash.
After installation, reboot device.
What if anything goes wrong?
Extract the stock firmware that you downloaded from sm fw. Connect device in download mode. Open odin, select AP,BL,CP,CSC file one by one. Start flashing. You device will be alive again.

[GUIDE] [2023] Root, Install TWRP, Install LineageOS Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P905

Hi, in this guide I will help you to root, install the TWRP, and install LineageOS 17.1 (or any custom ROM for this tablet).
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
This firmware was developed for the p905. It doesn't apply to the p905v at this time because it's bootloader locked and a custom recovery isn't possible.
Doing this you will delete all you file, so before starting save you important data in a different device.
DOWNLOADING​Download this .zip that have all the required files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aXfW2WoNER0kKRUc6dn0Odu3VW2swNA7/view?usp=share_link
Extract the folder in the Desktop for better agility.
STARTING​Open the folder previously extracted, and run as administrator the .exe "Samsung-Usb-Driver-v1.5.59.0". Now you downloaded the Samsung drivers.
Now run as administrator the .exe "adb-setup-1.4.3 run as admin": Answer yes for every step asked.
Remember to install the GAPPS from here (i didn't put them in the .zip file because uses al lot of space): https://opengapps.org/ (select the ARM and Android version, that in this case is Android 10.0, and I choosed the nano version, but you can select which you want in base of included app: https://gapps4android.wordpress.com/2016/03/20/gapps-package-comparison-which-to-choose/ ).
Store the .zip with the gapps in the tablet, in some location that you will remember.
In the extracted folder you will find the rom .zip file of the LineageOS 17.1, do the same as for the GAPPS .zip, so copy it in the tablet in a folder that you will remember.
This process will NOT require the OEM unlock, because Odin will do it for you.
Be sure to have enabled the USB debug in the Developer Options. Plug the tablet in the PC and be sure that the tablet ask you to enable USB DEBUG via your PC. Is no pop-up is asking you this, open the folder extracted, go to "fastboot" and open a CMD in this location, and type the command: "adb devices" this will trigger the tablet to ask you to allow the USB debugging via your PC.
ROOTING​Put the Samsung Galaxy Note pro 12.2 in the Downloading mode:
1. turn off the device completely.
2. hold down the POWER key and the volume DOWN key.
3. when you come out a screen with a yellow triangle and an exclamation mark and asking if you want to be sure to enter the Downloading mode (also called Odin Mode), to agree click the volume UP button.
Meanwhile start Odin (the file .exe called "Odin3-v3.10.6" that is in the extracted folder) as administrator.
Now plug the Galaxy Note pro in the PC and you will se now a message in the left box saying something like: "<ID:0/005> Added!!" the number is based on the COM port that your tablet is now connected (in my case was 5).
Now click on the button "AP" (that should be the only one clickable) and select the file "CF-Auto-Root-viennalte-viennaltexx-smp905.tar" in the main extracted folder.
Finally now click START. In my case took 5 minutes to complete.
When the process ends, the tablet will reboot automatically, and in the apps you will see an app called "superSU". If you see this app, you successfully rooted you device!
Open the new app and it will ask you if you disable Xnox and you will click yes, or ok.​INSTALLING TWRP​We will install TWRP in the Easy way, from the Play Store. So open the Play Store and download the officiall TWRP app.
Once downloaded, open the app. If the app ask for request from superSU you will need to GRANT.
Ok, now click on the "Select Device" and choose our tablet, the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, and choose the latest .img avaible. It will ask you to download, so you click OK and it will open the browser and download the image file (should be called like "twrp-3.0.2-0-viennatlexx.img"). Remember where it got downloaded and return in the TWRP app. Now click on "Select a file to flash.." and select the image file now downloaded. Finally click on "FLASH TO RECOVERY" and in the pop-up click OKAY.
You should get a screen saying "Flash completed successfully!".​INSTALLING LINEAGEOS (or any rom)​Boot in the TWRP mode by connecting the device to the PC, opening the folder "fastboot" in the firstly .zip downloaded and opening the cmd in that location. Once you opened the cmd, type "adb devices" and now you should see you device. Now type the command: "adb reboot recovery". Your device will shutdown and automatically restart in the TWRP mode.
