I wanted to write it down many times, but I don't have right time to do this.
The reason why I want to write it down, because I'm a newbie, and I know what a newbie would feel when he/she wants help but no one will help or they can't help.
Because of the stunning performance from few videoes of 4.0, I wanted to flash a 4.0 rom always, but I'm afraid to briket it, and finally I started to log in forums and check someone else how to do it.
I added many people, and only one answered me, and patiently helped me to do this, do that, but failed, though, I still thank him a lot.
My steps are simple, I won't define words, explain them, and I won't write down the exact process, because there are so many posters about it.
1. HTCdev, very important, everything is invisible without this step.
2. after this, you can use ADB to flash superuser and RE, or use a tool called pioneer, which is in Chinese, just need you to press anykey of your keyboard after you unzip it, and click (执行(means execut))boot.bat, and it's done
3. Flash recovery, I flash 4ext touch version, and it's quite good.
download PG881IMG.ZIP, and babababa....
My situation was like that: do not connect computer during flash 4ext, or it won't react.
4. flash rom, and after flash rom, return to bootloader, to flash boot.img(still many poster say this), and connect to computer, flash boot.img
And after that, everything's done.
May it help.
Welcome

Hello, please don't take this personally...(you're input is appreciated)
If by adding people you mean, adding users as friends and then private messaging them, then I don't find it surprising that you didn't get many answers.
This is an open forum and it's power is that all users are able to put input into finding solutions and assisting each other as a group not as individuals.
Even though PM's have a use in efficient communication within the forum, they are not recommended for new starters with problems, that's what the Q/A section is for.
If you have an issue or a question simply post a new thread describing it, although hopefully use the search function first to see if it has been asked before, as 90% of questions have been!
Although a little reading of the available guides and Google'ing goes a long way!

hey, dude,. what I mean adding people, is to use QQ, do you know this app?
@Nandylee
You were lost when you started and after a while it made sense to you, your guide will still just confuse people cause they won't understand it. To someone who understands they can see where its going but its flawed, to a noob its no help. Sorry.

I didn't know that app, but I do now, although I still stand by what I said regarding one to one communication, it's always better to ask everyone through the forum, that's what gives it its power and then the answers are made available for others to read.

Hi, guys and gals!
I'm new to the forums, I had a question to ask and I apologize now if this might be too broad or maybe just a stupid question(s).
So, I have a ASUS transformer infinity, the Tf700t tablet which is on the 10.6.1.14.4-20130329
And i've been looking around to figure how why the hell this thing is so slow!, And over researching everyone seems to ultimately point to downloading custom roms like updating the tablet with these i guess jailbreaking methods.
A couple months ago I managed to unlock my device (when I load up the tablet, when it says ASUS on the top left if says this device is unlocked).
Now my question is, I found this CROMI-X, forum on this website that tells you how upgrade the device, and it keeps telling me to root my device, which I can't seem to find anywhere the most recent on for the build that i am on (10.6.1.14.4), also I've downloaded TWRP and i was suppost to make a recovery img or something a ".blob" and it was asking me to write down the exact name of my tablet and I can't seem to find where that is, and i guess you can say I got cold feet to accept since it said that my device can get bricked, SO my question would be, is there any kind of guide out there with the latest updates i'm assuming kitkat? for noobies like me or maybe a video tutorial on how to do all this.
Cause i literally only have my device unlocked, I don't think i've actually rooted my device.
But yea that's about it, sorry if im asking for too much i thought this would be my only hope on making this tablet worth my while, cause this thing wont stop lagging (i've tried cold booting and restoring this thing like 10 times nothing seems to be doing the trick).
Thanks again

@lj50036 that you find and take the time to answer questions like these is nothing short of amazing considering the work you put in for this tablet. My hat goes off to you, Sir!
I think we can mark this thread as SOLVED
The Solution
So here is what we did
@duperdavid has his tablet unlocked already....:good:
All I did was help him install fastboot, adb, and Windows drivers which can be tricky.....
We than installed TWRP with fastboot
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
Than we got him a ROM and a GAPPS
Made a backup with twrp.... Than did a full wipe of internal...
Than he did not have a sd card so we pushed the rom and gapps onto the tablet while it was booted into twrp
Code:
adb push nameoffile.zip /sdcard
Than we flashed new rom & gapps
booted into Rom !!!!! Win
We backed up his Nvflash blobs also

What does this mean.i knew you.could update.a zip in recovery but.how do you flash in recovery like a boot animation for example
To use recovery to flash (another term for install) the file needs to be in zip format. Always make sure that the zip you're flashing is made for your phone and Android version. The best thing to do is make a nandroid backup, it's similar to a Windows restore point. It will save you if you flash something that doesn't work.
So do you use the update option to install the zip?
Sounds like you are referring to the stock recovery. Most zips here need to be flashed through a custom recovery like TWRP or philz.

You really need to take about 10 steps back. You've been posting in multiple threads with the same basic questions that should already be known before posting. Please start using Google (answers to all your questions can be found all over the Internet) and read, read, read. Here's the first link you should read: Understanding the Journey. Sorry, but XDA isn't about being hand-fed every answer. Thanks.
I agree with Ramer. When I first wanted to root and customize a phone I spent countless hours reading, and researching, and reading more before I even attempted anything. I then downloaded what I wanted and also what I needed to fix my phone in case something went wrong and made sure I knew how to fix it. I still do the same thing and it has been about 6 years since the first time I rooted a phone. Don't just dive in blindly, be prepared.
Ya thanks guys i have done research .i first started flashing my EVO when i started. I understand how to use google to find answers. Seems the.process is.forever changing everytime an update.comes out. Sorry im not a master developer and the thread file you.posted isint working for me. Sorry for the noob questions.i have soft bricked my phone many times and.fixed it.many times. Sorry for the noob questions. I dont have alot of time to break and fix my phone all the time i will take my questions else where for.future information thanks for all the answers. Flashing is for odin. Maybe you masters use flashing zips as lingo sorry i didnt understand that meant install from recovery through the update. I lost root with this stupid update which sucks and just.trying to figure it out. Have a great day!

From the Moderator
To the OP ......... you have not done enough reading or enough self-educating to understand the basics. Because of that deficit in your knowledge, you are struggling to get the gist of the help offered.
Instead, you chose the Troll road and flamed the person who tried to help you ......... not a good choice.......
So, this thread serves little to no purpose anymore......... That said

I'll appreciate you if there is a single thread posted by you (of 4 threads). After getting the device hard bricked, why you people try test point method when the phone was already tucked in EDL Mode, there are many miserable users whom ruin there devices due to bloody incomplete and so-called magical guides by the developers kind of you.

This is not your work, nor is it some new method. Its the same method thats been posted on this forum before. Stop creating same threads over and over again. And what is even worse, is i dont see a single credit to anyone, even tho files and guide was taken from other people and miui forum. So shame on you.

Without contributing anything new thats a tall claim to make. You would be begging too. If new way of unbrick information was not found.
First do something on your own rather than stealing someone else's work.

Can you help me with bypass authorization on Redmi 3s Prime. is there any option for it, cant even install TWRP recovery without binding the phone. Any help will be appreciated.
Can i flash any of these roms on my fake rom note 5 with locked bl? and which one?
I have a MiPad4 which I can only get fastboot
I have tried to flash with the latest MiFlash and the 28 may 2018 Miflash
Miflash can see the device - it goes through the flash and everything seems to be doing fine until after 30 seconds it says
error:FAILED ( remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State )
I had this device unlocked before , but when I flashed TWRP originally I left the default selection of clean all and lock on MiFlash ( sad default )
any ideas ?

You answered yourself. You left default selection "clean all and lock". It locked your bootloader again, because thats what you chose to do.
Further Updates??
Bro i just did as u shown in vid and with ur help i just unbricked my dead.
But now I want to ask u something will i get updates now or how can i Flash TWRP Or any other Recovery??
I am reading conflicting things trying to figure this out. Can someone who is absolutely sure please let me know? I can't afford to waste another entire day making educated guesses.
It doesn't seem like the TWRP version numbers correspond to the Android builds, but if they do please correct me.
Thank you
You don't need to figure it out, there's only 2 threads about working TWRP, One for Android 9 & 10 and One for 11 and in the OP of each thread are specified what are working and what doesn't and how to install/boot it properly.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about where to post it since it was directly about recovery. Sorry about that. I won't make the same mistake again.
Also, I'm just now figuring out what is what, but I don't see how any of those files designate they are for 11 in that screenshot you posted. I've seen all those files actually. I've also spent time on the TWRP website and read mostly everything. The only thing I could find was a post that said it (11 support) was coming, but I tried the newest one there and it bricked the phone. I also read in an article that the lad(s) who wrote those is working officially with TWRP, so I thought the TWRP website would be "the horse's mouth".
I know I installed it correctly too because in the past week I've installed TWRP so many times I could practically do it blindfolded now.
I don't mean to take a bunch of your time, but where in that screenshot does it designate "11"? I know `Pie` is an older Android, but I thought `Q` was too. Maybe I'm just wrong and it's 11. I was just getting confused because the OOS version numbers are right there in the boot image file name for Magisk, so when I saw those numbers on the TWRP files I just thought they were all for much older Android years ago.
Anyway, thank you, sorry for the n00b post, but I definitely am reading and searching and not just posting immediately when I encounter a problem. I've actually learned a ****load in the past week struggling with all of this though so I can't really complain. Eventually I will get up to speed and be able to write some things. I just hope yall don't ban me before then, lol.

Yeah, so, this one for 11 I've tried before. Once I install it how the thread says then I can only boot into TWRP. I'm just unsure what to do now because all the threads just say "flash rom, flash magisk". I didn't even know you could flash Magisk via TWRP.
I have the OTA of the new update downloaded. I have the boot.img extracted. I just have no idea how to fix this. I've done this before and I thought I bricked it and that's why I thought this wasn't for 11. :/
Edit: I'm guessing that I `adb push` the OTA to the device and see if I can flash that in TWRP?? Then once I am in the OS use Magisk to patch the boot? I'm unsure because places use the term "Magisk Manager" like its different from Magisk and I've never seen an app called exactly "Magisk Manager". I'm just assuming that was like... the old name of the app, but I don't know that could just be me filling in the blanks incorrectly.
Edit:Edit: I'm attempting to sideload the OTA. I think I've read of people doing this. *crosses fingers*

I'm just assuming that was like... the old name of the app, but I don't know that could just be me filling in the blanks incorrectly.
Edit:Edit: I'm attempting to sideload the OTA. I think I've read of people doing this. *crosses fingers*

Wait, what? Im not sure what are you trying to do.
I guess you're new in all of this right?
My work here was the twrp thing.

Im trying to install TWRP. I do it exactly how the thread says and then system never boots into OOS again and I just have fastboot and TWRP. Basically bricked. Then when I try to reboot to recovery which should be TWRP (right?) it just boots me into the regular "recovery".
Thats why I think this is broken and I resigned to just not updating into 11.
I've never had this much trouble doing this. Ever. Not even close.
Edit: Yeah, so I patched the 11 boot.img and now I have root again, but no TWRP. I don't know how to keep both in 11. When I was 9.5.3 I used the Magisk A/B retention script and kept it, but once it became 11 it bricked the phone and the TWRP logo just flashed. I had to reflash the OTA to boot again. Thats another reason why I thought it didn't work for OOS11.
Starting to think I have a learning disability, lmao. Wish I was joking.
I just try.
When I flashed official TWRP and used it to flash any ROM(including OOS), it will lose or replace it by ROM's recovery...

Yeah, exactly what is happening with me. The closest I ever had it working was with using the A/B Retention script within Magisk Modules, but the second I hit OOS11 it **** the bed. I think "official TWRP" is different than what he linked up there for 11. I mean, I know they are, as it says "unofficial", but that's kind of why I'm confused because the images on TWRP.me use the similar numbering nomenclature and imply there are newer version for my device, so why would a newer version not work, but an older version work?
And if this particular TWRP does actually support 11 then why hasn't TWRP Official incorporated it into their releases? It's just little things like that which led me to believe it's not working. Also, I read a bunch of articles saying it wasn't working, but they could have been old. However, one of them was on Reddit and a few months old, but maybe they were wrong.
I feel like I went on a wild goose chase today, but I really hope didn't.
@RokCruz Just out of curiousity, do you actually have a OnePlus 7 Pro right now with OOS11 and working TWRP/root? I'm not saying you're just making this up or anything, but maybe something has changed since the last time you tried? If you currently have an OOS 11.0.11 device with TWRP/root atleast I'll know it's possible.
@caca12357 I'm going to try to do a local OTA upgrade then before I reboot run the A/B retention script and then Magisks option for OTA and see if that does anything. If TWRP works for 11 something like that should make it work, but who knows. Have you messed with A/B Retention at all?
If you want to PM me we can figure it out together.
Thread moved to proper section

Yes, and do you know how I flash TWRP to my OP7P? First, I flashed Pixel Experience recovery by fastboot, and I used Pixel Experience recovery to sideload the official TWRP. (In other words, I never can temporarily or permanently flash TWRP directly). If I did not want to convert my /data to the f2fs file system I will not do this meaningless work...
