Hello, y'all,
... First of all, please read this whole post carefully, before starting to work on your phone! Thanks! ...
recently, I wanted to update the Android version of my old Z500 with the help of lineageOS and TWRP.
Please note, that I'm not at all an expert on this topic, and if I'm using specific terms like "bricked" or "APX mode" wrong, please forgive me.
So, on my device, I had the plan of installing Android 6.0 on this phone using TWRP and a copy of lineageOS.
However, the recovery partition turned out locked and I accidentally overwrote the boot partition with the twrp.img.
This is my first time doing this, ok, and I read on a oneplus forum, that the boot partition could also be used, blah, blah, blah, silly me.
Anyways, now my device wouldn't turn on. After a while charging, the display turned on, but there was always just the low battery screen. When I got to the "Boot Selector" holding the power and vol + button, selecting fastboot, recovery or normal boot just restarted the device.
Anyways, now what do you need to "unbrick" the device :
- A version of TWRP [dl.twrp.me/Z500/twrp-3.3.1-0-Z500.img.html]
- A version of your desired ROM, for me lineageOS [androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195903470]
- SmartPhone Flash Tool, for me v5.1912 worked like a charm [spflashtool.com/download/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1912_Win.zip]
- A copy of the Firmware Acer_AV0K0_Z500_1.012.00_EMEA_GEN1 (... GEN1s for single SIM) [dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cin08ytkqmvr7c1/Acer_AV0K0_Z500_1.012.00_EMEA_GEN1.zip] (this was the hardest one to get because all the other downloads just included the .ispff dump file)
- A copy of the corresponding version of OpenGApps [opengapps.com]
- A copy of the MediaTek Driver Auto Installer (v5.1632.00; you know you have the right one when it resets the USB Ports in a CMD window at the end; INSTALL THIS FIRST) [mediafire.com/file/4ux1ytmzlxmpbjb/ROMProvider.COM_Driver_Auto_Installer_EXE_v5.1632.00.zip/file]
- A USB Charging Cable
- A PC
- Your Phone, obviously
Set up your PC :
1. Start by installing the MediaTek Driver Auto Installer. After that is finished, restart your PC.
2. Unzip the Firmware and the SmartPhone Flash Tool
3. Copy your ROM and OpenGApps on an SD Card.
Before you begin this operation, make sure you "get your device into APX mode".
Basically, it makes your device recognizable and flashable by the computer.
WARNING: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
To do that follow these steps one after another :
- Plug your device into your wall power, NOT YOUR PC, and let it charge for about 30min, just in case. Turn it off if it's still on, although in my case, it turned off once I removed the charging cable.
- Remove the backplate of your device, unscrew the internal backplates 6 screws and carefully take the internal backplate off. If you're having trouble, just look for "Acer Z500 teardown" on YouTube.
- Carefully pull off the battery connector from the mainboard from up under. Be careful not to damage it!
- Once done, connect your device to your computer. You should now see the device as COM Connector in the Device Manager. If your device is disconnecting and connecting repeatedly, the driver must not be active. If you see no device connecting at all, remove it from your computer and after plugging it into the wall charger again, reconnect it to your PC.
- Once that's ok, disconnect the device again, and plug the battery back in.
- While disconnected, open up the SP Flash Tool, and under "Download", select the scatter .... .txt file from the Firmware Archive.
- Once that's done, all of the checkboxes in the ROM select should be active.
- Double Click on the Path of the "RECOVERY" row and select the TWRP.img. Then, change the mode from "Download only" to "Format All + Download" and hit the "Download" button.
- Plug your Z500 back in again, and you should see the flashing process starting.
- Once that's done, disconnect the phone and put the SD card with your ROM and OpenGApps in.
- Connect your phone to the wall charger again, and immediately hold the power and the vol + buttons down, till the Boot Options appear.
- Boot into recovery mode, and TWRP should start up. If it doesn't, reconnect your phone again and just let it boot for around 3min after terminating it by holding the power button and as soon as the screen goes black, also holding the vol + button. Once again select recovery mode, and now TWRP should defiantly show up.
- In TWRP, first, make a factory reset with the "WIPE" option. Then go to install and choose your SD card. First, install your ROM, then OpenGApps and reboot.
Now you should have a functioning Acer Z500 again!
Feel free to reply, if you have any questions!
Good luck,
Klydra.

There is SP_Flash_Tool tutorial with pictures. Do NOT use their values or anything, you can just look at flashing process looks like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982587
I've tried many different ways and many have failed me, so I'm documenting one way which worked for me.
You will need the Acura recovery
http://www.mediafire.com/?5io5b2r98nt28bb
and gazhead's SU zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1352095&d=1348524309
Preparation
Extract the recovery package
Step 1: Drivers
Make sure you have the OMAP 4430 drivers installed.
If you do, skip this step
Note: On windows 8, you will need to have rebooted your computer into a mode which lets you install unsigned drivers. Do a Google search to find out how.
To install the omap drivers:
Turn off the phone
Remove the battery
Open Windows' device manager
Connect the phone to the PC.
When OMAP4430 appears in your list of devices, double-click on it and select "update driver software"
When asked, pick the usb_drv_windows folder extracted from the recovery package and go through with the installation
When the installation has completed, you should have a new category called "Ti Boards" with the OMAP4430 USB device under it.
Step 2: Installing recovery
Disconnect the phone
Go to the recovery folder and launch "Instalar Recovery ICS Europeo.bat"
The script will be waiting for the phone to be connected.
Press "vol up"
Connect your phone, without any battery
As soon as the script does something, release the button and insert the battery
As soon as the script stops, disconnect the USB cable.
When you see the silver LG logo, connect the USB cable again
The script should complete its task soon after that.
Note: If the script is waiting for something, pay attention to your list of devices, you may have a LG COSMO device which has no drivers. If this is the case, install the OMAP4430 drivers and start the script again.
Step 3: Rooting
Put gazhead's file on your SD card
Turn off phone
Press "vol down" + 3D button + power to boot into recovery
Install the zip file from your SD card
Reboot
That's it. Help me improve this post by reporting any errors you see and I hope this will save people some time

Are you sure that you pressed:
"vol down" + 3D button + power
?
It seems the combination changes depending on the recovery...

Try releasing the vol key before inserting the battery. This worked for me.

Space for Apps
Good evening, the home version of SU760 had 2GB of space for installing applications ... Already the European version of the P920, only has 1GB of internal memory dedicated space .... Is there a way to change this? Well I tried to restore the apps that I had, and gave memory overflow ...
Thanks

I also posted this in the sony xperia forum, but seeing as this is more active I will also try here. Sorry for the double post, but I'm sort of desperate.
So I brought myself in a bad situation.
Here's a video showing what the phone does and me trying to get into CWM:
http ://www .youtube. com/watch?v=5F2Gg_eU7Yw
I was trying to root my sony xperia z1 compact using this guide: http ://techglen. com/2014/02/05/root-xperia-z1-compact-d5503-4-3-14-2-a-1-114-official-firmware/
Following the steps it asked me to CWM 6 using this guide: http ://techglen. com/2014/02/05/install-cwm-6-on-xperia-z1-compact-d5503-4-3-14-2-a-1-114-official-firmware/2
I checked firmware and version of my phone and everything was correct.
I must admit I have no clue as to what I'm doing but I'm normally ok with tech stuff and the guide seemed detailed and trust worthy so I thought I could do it following the guide.
I got the bootloading unlocked just fine and started to install CWM. I made it this far:
- After downloading CWM kernel zip (Its not the actual name of file, just a reference name), place it in internal or external SD Card of your smartphone
- Now extract CWM kernel zip on your PC’s desktop and copy boot.img
- Paste this file inside the folder where you have installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot
- Now turn off your smartphones completely
- Plug in mobile’s USB in cable in PC port only
- Hold Volume up button and plug in USB cable in mobile’s port
- LED will turn blue (If it does not remain blue for long, then read Optional part in bootloader unlocking method explained above
- Once you are successfully in fastboot mode, then you can continue
- Now type Fastboot flash boot boot.img and press Enter
- It will flash boot.img file on your device
- Now unplug the device and boot it up
- As soon as you see purple colored LED, start pressing volume up and down buttons repeatedly, until you are in CWM mode
- In CWM Mode, select “Install Zip”
Click to expand...

I downloaded CWM .img file, placed it in my ADB folder and placed a copy on my phone. Using ADB I flashed the CWM .img (bolded step), unplugged the phone and the CWM screen came up and I was able to navigate using the volume buttons. So far so good.
At this point I realized that the CWM .img file I had downloaded and placed on my phone was not a zip file and I couldn't find it. So I hit reboot to boot up my phone normally so I could place the .img packed as a .zip file on the phone. Some error message came up, but I didn't manage to read it but caught something saying root I think.
As it rebooted the sony logo came up but then the purple led turned on and it seemed to boot into CWM again. A brief screen explaining how to navigate came up as you see in the video below (but with no menu options to actually navigate) before it rebooted and repeated.
I can still use ADB and fastboot, but I can't get into CWM and I can't boot normally.
Edit: Just tried "adb devices" and it says "list of devices attached" and then it's just blank. I can't push files onto the phone (error: device not found) but I can still reboot the device fusing fastboot and there's no error when I try and reflash cwm. Reading up on this it would seem that usb debugging has somehow been turned back on so adb can't acces the phone but fastboot can. Any way to turn on usb debugging through fastboot?
I tried a forced shutdown using the off button next to the sim card but it didn't help.
The phone is not recognized by my computer so I can't place or delete files from it.
Here's a video showing what the phone does and me trying to get into CWM:
http ://www .youtube. com/watch?v=5F2Gg_eU7Yw
If I don't press the volume button it will just keep looping in the sony logo and purple led light.
What I want to do is get back to a normal boot, remove the CWM .img file and put the .img file packed as .zip file onto the phone and retry the process.
I have googled a lot of options, but most results are a year old and I hardly understand half of what is being suggested. If anyone could please walk me through the process in a language that a total idiot can understand I would be so grateful and hopefully get my sleep back.
This Guide Tells You How To Update Your Lenovo Vibe X3 (X3a40 Variant) To The Latest Marshmallow Firmware
Warning
If This Bricks Your Phone I Am Not Responsible Although It Is Very Safe But If You Do Anything Stupid It May Brick The Phone If This Happens Repeat All The Steps Again Without Messing Up It Should Fix The Phone

Lenovo Vibe X3 Marshmallow Firmware - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6fGoFSBPp8QcWtaUlcwVTMxMHc/view?usp=sharing
Lets Begin
Flashing Guide
WARNING: Everything apart from data in external SD card will be wiped. Make sure to backup everything.
1.Download the QFIL flash package ZIP and appropriate ZIP from Drivers+QFIL.
2.Extract the ZIPs to a folder whose complete path has no spaces (space characters) at all.
3.Make sure you uninstall any other phone's PC Suite/drivers as they may cause conflicts. Microsoft Emergency Driver (installed for restoring Lumia devices) is known to conflict, please uninstall it.
4.Go to Drivers+QFIL folder extracted in Step 2, run the appropriate 'INSTALL_DRIVERS_&_QFIL.bat' and follow the instructions.
5.Backup contacts, SMS, apps, etc. as well as the entire internal storage as they will all be wiped(you will setup a new phone). Internal storage WILL BE erased when using the QFIL flash method.
6.Run 'QFIL' program. (If Unable To Find It Search It In Start Menu You Will Find It There)
7.Select 'Flat Build' as build type.
8.Click on 'Browse', select the 'prog_emmc_firehose_8992.mbn' file from the 'X3a40_S217_160623_ROW_QFIL' folder which you extracted.
9.Click on 'Load XML' and select 'rawprogram0.xml' followed by 'patch0.xml'.
10.Make sure you completed each step precisely, the USB cable is connected ONLY to USB port (USB 2.0 preferably) of PC and not to device yet, the device is powered off and is charged (at least 40%).
11.Now boot into EDL by plugging in the USB cable to device and quickly pressing and holding power button for ~1 second. QFIL's 'No port available' text should change to 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMXX)'. The display will stay off so, don't worry about it.
12.Within ~5 seconds put the device on a stable surface (so that it doesn't move around or shake) and press the 'Download' button on QFIL. If you are late, the device starts to power on normally and you need to go back to Step 11 and continue.
13.Wait for the flash to complete and 'Download Succeeded' message appear at the bottom.
14.Unplug the USB cable from the device and press and hold the power button for ~10 seconds to power it off.
15.Now power on the device normally. If display doesn't turn on press and hold the power button again for longer time, it will boot.
16.Once you have finished the initial set up, open dialer, dial '####682#', choose your region (IN - For India) and confirm. [Don't Skip This Step Its Important]
NOTE - IF Having Trouble In Installing The Drivers Or Detecting The Phone In QFIL Google On How To Disable Signature Enforcement In Windows 8 or 8.1 or 10 And After Doing That Again Install The Drivers.
HIT Thanks Button If I Helped You It Will Keep Me Motivated In Helping Others
TIPS & INFORMATIONThe various modes X3a40 can boot into:
Recovery mode: Press and hold Volume up + Volume down + Power together until Lenovo logo shows up and flickers once. Release the buttons and you will reach the recovery. This opens up the recovery of the device.
Qualcomm Diagnostics mode: Press and hold Volume down + Power button together until Lenovo logo shows up and flickers once to boot into this mode. This opens up the Qualcomm Diagnostics screen which has a number of hardware testing and other tools along with ability to flash the stock ROM. It is also used for further Diagnosis using a PC.
Fastboot mode: Press and hold Volume up + Volume down and plug in the USB cable(already connected to PC). You may also use the ADB command "adb reboot bootloader". Obviously you need a working device with USB Debugging turned on and ADB installed on PC. This opens the traditional Fastboot interface.
EDL mode: Plug the USB cable and quickly press and hold the power button for a little while. Device stays in EDL only for ~5 seconds unless you start firmware flash via QFIL. You can also use ADB command "adb reboot edl". This will put your device in Qualcomm Emergency Download Mode which is meant to flash stock firmware using QFIL tool on working/bricked devices.
Normal mode: This is what you boot by normally pressing the power button. I don't need to say much about this one.
Keep your NV data (IMEI, Serial No., etc.) backed up from QFIL>Tools>QCN Backup Restore. Device must be in Qualcomm Diagnostics mode. There are many more ways to do this.
#Note- If Any Of The Link Goes Down Inform Me I'll Bring The Up As soon as Possible.
Will just flashing the SuperSU zip enable me to get root in Marshmallow rom?
Or should I do everything from this thread again to gain root? I already have root in my lollipop and want to update to Marshmallow only if I can get root in it.
This is stolen from this existing thread:

Thread closed.
Since i am afraid, that my Guide will dissapear in the other Thread,
i post this guide in a new Thread !
I have just uploaded a collection of, how i have named it, - s60 essentials - there are ALL files included to flash stock, update to .033, flash twrp recovery and root.
(this is for Win7 x86, you have to check if it works for other versions yourself, sy..)
Here is my collection
HOW TO.... Stock, Update, custom recovery and root your s60 !!!!
Disclaimer: if you brick your phone, it's your fault, i have tested this way of rooting my s60 now for a several times and it works 100%
SO READ TWICE, CHECK TWICE, BEFORE YOU CLICK ONCE !!!!! i will not take any responsibility !!!
Thanks to everybody who contributed here in this thread (Cesarq, OpenMinded, Tuschi, BetonJohn, etc.......) the software in the link
is the collected data, freely available in the net and linked in the original Thread several times, i have only bundled one package and wrote
this, hopefully usefull guide.
in principle do as follows: (I will only explain once how to sideload or load via recovery, afterwards i will only state what kind and what file)
Prerequists
- install USB drivers (for recovery and adb)
- install "minimal ADB and fastboot"
- copy the two updates (update032 & update033) into the folder, where you have installed "minimal ADB and fastboot" (makes live easier later)
- install QPST (the version of QPST is the one from Androidmtk and should be virusfree
(The version of QFIL in my collection is the one without reboot, so you have to reset/reboot your phone manually (resetbutton below hatchdoor on your phone) whenever
stated in this guide.
- format micro SD card in fat32 ! and copy SuperSU.zip onto it.
- connect a WORKING USB cable to your phone (Not to your PC atm !!!)
getting twrp (for saving your old firmware only)
- power off phone.
- start minimal adb on your PC
- start QFIL (part of QPST) on your PC
- press VOL+ & VOL- simultanousely and connect phone with PC (it will vibrate once, top right LED starts blinking red, screen stays black) - DOWNLOAD MODE -
(just in case: to leave Download mode, press and hold power button for apprx. 15 seconds)
- as soon as you connect your phone to the PC, QFIL should show the Phone/port in the topline allready, if not, either try to manually select the port, or you probably still have
a problem with the USB drivers !
- tick in QFIL Flat Build (top left)
- QFIL - select Programmer, "browse" to the saved location of "update-twrp-recovery-nobootpatch" and select the "prog_emmc.blablabla...mbn" file and doubleclick
- QFIL - "load XML" ,select rawprogramm, doubleclick, select patch0, doubleclick
- QFIL - click on "download"
- if everything was OK up till now, it should start download - BE PATIENT- and read the status window on QFIL, when it shows "finish download"....
- disconnect phone from PC
- press and hold simultanousely POWER and VOL+ and use a small tool to push the reset button on the phone under the hatch, while still pressing Power and Vol+ !
- the phone should now be in twrp recovery. If so, do a full backup now to your (allready inserted and fat32 formatted) microSD card!!!
when done
- Power off your phone !
flashing stock 31.02
- enter download mode again (Vol+ & Vol-, connect phone to PC.......)
- this time in QFIL, browse in programmer path to "s60_stockFW_31.02" and select the programmer from there
- load XML's (the onces that belong to Stock31.02)
- start download... this will take a while !!!! BE PATIENT !!!!
- when QFIL status window shows finish download, push the reset button on the phone and let it reboot.
- it is normal, that the phone should restart itself 2, maximum 3 times at the first start, but sometimes it ends up in a bootloop (Cat Logo, reboot, CAT logo, reboot, etc, etc, .......)
(The bootloop mainly happens, if you clear, in twrp recovery, the whole OS, but that's no issue either...)
- if it ends up in a bootloop, no worries, just continue ! Believe me, i did the process now several times ! )
you are back on stock 31.02 !
-Power off your phone again
Updating to 032
- bring up minimal ADB sideload on your PC (start it, if not allready done in previous step (getting twrp)).
- press and hold POWER and VOL+ button on your phone - RECOVERY MODE -
- when in stock recovery select (with Volume keys) "adb sideload" and click the Powerbutton
- connect your phone to the PC
- on PC, type into the black ADB Terminal window "adb sideload update032.zip" and hit enter
- if drivers are there, phone will start downloading the update now.
- when complete, select clear cache, and clear data then reboot your phone.
- again, same as in the step (flashing stock), if bootloop, no worries, just continue, if it boots up, let it boot up and then..
you're on 032 now
- Power off the phone again
Updating to 033
- do the same steps as described under "Updating to 032" only difference, type in adb window " adb sideload update033.zip"
After updating to 033 your phone should boot up normally now, NO MORE BOOTLOOP !
getting twrp
- this is the same step as above "getting twrp" only difference, this time, no backup needed and...
- when in twrp-recovery, select "install" browse to your micro SD-card, and...
- install SuperSU.zip from SDcard.
- once more, clear cache and data and reboot.
The phone should boot up now, you should be on FW 033, with custom recovery and root !!!
That's all !!!
Would a TWRP or fastboot flashable stock recovery let us apply future OTA updates without wiping and starting from stock 031 if we're using systemless root like Magisk?
From stock recovery you can reboot to bootloader which puts us in fastboot (you can select boot mode with Vol +/-), so I'm thinking if we could boot TWRP from fastboot (without flashing, obviously), we could back up the stock recovery. Then when the next update comes around, we flash stock recovery back, apply the update, then reflash TWRP.
I tried fastboot boot recovery.img from update-twrp-recovery-nobootpatch but I got
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
and rebooting into recovery from there just got me stock recovery which makes sense.
QCN please
Hi guys, can anyone share me QCN backup of S60 because i've lost it! Thanks.
Last update for Android 6.0 was from 766 days ago.
Any suggestions on how to patch?
Thanks a million
