This Method Is For Rooting Lyf Water 7 i.e LS-5504 running 6.0 android
Proceed At Your Own Risk I m Not Responsible For Any Damage To your Phone
To Begin Root Process First DOWNLOAD THESE FILES-
1. TWRP(working ported by me) Zippyshare Link
Mirror Mediafire link
2. Minimal ADB & Fasboot Tool for Android https://devsjournal.com/download-minimal-adb-fastboot-tool.html
3. Sp flash tool https://spflashtool.com/
4. Scatter files for our device https://www.mediafire.com/file/qy2be6cxv7e0j9r/MT6753~1.TXT/file Mirror - Zippyshare link
5. supersu zip Click here (this is property of chainfire all credits belong to them)
NOTE - Backup your contacts, messages and data in sd card or pc as it will be gone
Now follow instructions-
1. Install minimal ADB & Fastboot ( i prefer u install it in C:\ drive) Open the file named cmd. This will open a command prompt
2. Power off phone. Once it is off click volume up and power button together ,now screen will show a smalll menu/boot menu. Press volume up to move arrow to fastboot mode and select it by pressing volume down button. You will enter fastboot mode now.
3. Connect phone to pc using data cable. Come back to command prompt. Type this command.
PHP:
fastboot devices
it will show your device like 5DSOYL.. something like that
now type another command
PHP:
fastboot oem unlock
Now check your phone it will ask about unlocking bootloader press volume up key to agree
this will delete all data
after this type
PHP:
fastboot reboot
your bootloader is unlocked now
4. Keep device connected. once phone reboots, open Sp flash tool. select the scatter file (downloaded above) then on recovery tab select the recovery.img (download above). Click the download button and then power off your phone.
Twrp will be flashed, You can access it by Pressing volume up and power button together and selecting recovery in boot mode (where we selected fastboot mode)
5. To gain root just flash su zip through Twrp so simple
In case recovery don't get flashed there may be problem in sp flash tool drivers .. plz google how to install them
Still working in 2019, files updated to latest version and dead links replaced :good:

Hello folks. Answering the questions above there is no custom rom for lyf water 7s. lyf water 7s don't has any sort of development on xda. I would advice not to mess around more then rooting because if you phone got hard brick (when it's stuck on logo) it won't be possible for you to flash it as sp flash tool will not recognize your device. Just get a new device.

true, but it is possible to port a rom for it, just that the procedure is difficult, since not many people use this device there is no development on this i guess..
i tried to port a rom... but i failed, i guess i did not unlock the BL... no idea.. it didn't go well..

How to unbrick redmi note 5 pro bricked by pre-ARB4 ROM downgrade

Here's the guide from the MIUI forum:
http://en.miui.com/thread-3805592-1-1.html
Reposted in case it disappears:
Yes, this is a working solution for unbricking Redmi Note 5 Global.
The credits go to @chocoml. Her/His original post is here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-3802858-1-1.html
Credits also to @br4n94 for the MiFlash portable tip.
So, how does it work?
1. Download the two files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16lQ-A175D_5DJU-YT4lbul5htgaNNw21?usp=sharing
This is a fastboot ROM v. 9.5.19.0. Note that you're downloading an operating system from the Internet. It can do anything - steal your money, eat your breakfast, run away with your girlfriend, whatever. Beware.
2. Unzip somewhere - you get a flashable fastboot rom.
3. Download miflash portable from May 2018
4. Unzip.
5. Go into the miflash folder. Find folder "mi" and rename it to something, for example "_mi"
6. Start XiaoMiFlash.exe
7. Connect the bricked phone. You should see message in windows about Quallcom interface 9008 blablabla.
8. Refresh MiFlash to see the phone on com XX
9. Selected the anti-test rom which you unzipped in (2)
10. Do a clean_all.bat
11. Wait for the flashing to finish.
You're unbricked.
Optional, but strongly recommended:
12. Restart straight into fastboot
13. Flash another ROM from a source you trust.
Cheers and thanks again to @chocoml and @br4n94 for the tips! Send them some credits!
Finally, I'd like to point out that this "solution" unbricks the phone, but does not remove the problem.
1. We still have NO access to EDL flashing using MiFlash from Xiaomi.
2. We still don't have trusted roms. While this appears to work, it may or may not do other things.
3. ARB4 can still brick you up.
I strongly suggest you keep a backup of this ROM and the MiFlash tool after you're done.
Also, it is possible that if you continute to upgrade with Xiaomi ROMS, they may "fix" something, and this method may stop working.
So if you want to keep your phone free, move on to something else, and away from MIUI.
Good luck,

Does it require the device to be opened and to be put in edl test point?

Xiaomi Redmi 6 (4GB/64GB) Bricked After Installing OTA

I have just bought Redmi 6 a few hours back and didn't connected my MI account to device. I Installed OTA update and after that my device is bricked on boot it shows "System Is Destroyed" and I cannot flash an image as boot-loader is not unlocked. I have an MI account but unable to request as the MI Unlock tools says your account is not bound to this device. Is there anyway I can flash latest rom without unlocking the BootLoader? Or I can bind my device to my MI account as I cannot turn on my phone.

yes, you can, but this 2 ways didn't help me, maybe you will be luckier.
1. download official rom for recovery install ( i don't know rules about link on other resources, so i will leave the link in pm.
2. download last miflash Pro (pm also)
3. download and install drivers (pm)
4. install and start miflash pro on your pc
5. enter recovery mode on your phone - pwr+volume up, next choose 'connect with mi assistant', then connect to your pc
6. choose Home in mi flash, wait app to recognise the phone, the click flash in recovery - some window will appear, if you see your imei in this windows, then you can flash. 3 dots, choose rom. if checking it is ok - click flash. Wait for 10-15 minutes
the second way is to enter fastboot mode, download and open miflash, download rom for fastboot, download drivers and save it in blank folder with rom. Then open miflash, connect your phone to pc choose this folder, and start to flash
neither way helped me, in 1 case miflash pro isn't flashing the rom, in second case miflash can't find flash_all.bat file and refuses to flash

Redmi Note 7 Pro - Bricked (Current Device Anti Rollback is greater than this Pkg.)

I tried to search regarding this issue but couldn't find a solution so I am posting this issue in hopes that someone can guide me to a solution.
I wanted to install pixel experience on my Redmi Note 7 Pro. My phone was successfully unlocked by myself and no issues were faced. First I tried to install Peter's TWRP but then can't go the recovery instead every time I was booted to fastboot menu. I then tried to just restart by holding the power button to boot straight to OS but instead I was again back to the fastboot menu.
I then downloaded the latest global ROM "violet_in_global_images_V11.0.5.0.PFHINXM_20191022.0000.00_9.0_in_9bff00d97f" for flashing using xiaomi flash tool and faced many errors but resolving one by one and then finally ROM was flashed but it only took 1 sec to complete and nothing happened on the phone. Then I searched around a bit more and tried to use CMD to flash "flash_all.bat" directly and got the error "Current Device Anti Rollback is greater than this Pkg". What I don't understand is that if I am using the latest global firmware then how the current device has a higher arb no. ?
I hope that I am able to explain the situation for other's to understand.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try the command "fastboot oem edl" in cmd of adb folder when device is in fastboot mode. Ur phone should go black but dont panic. Now open miflash tool and u see ur device is connected in edl mode as COMX ( X may be anything 10 or 20 like that). Now try to flash the lattest fastboot rom for over device. Remember to check the option in mi flash tool to not lock bl again. But this will wipe all your data.

Thank you for taking time to reply to my query. I did what you suggested and got into EDL mode. Xiaomi Mi Flash picked up the device as COM10 but when I tried to flash it shows "sahara read end error with status:40" and nothing happens.
Any further idea?

I suggest you use the older variant of the MiFlash tool.
How did you flash Peter's? Did you use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"? That's the only right command.
Also are you sure you have the Indian variant of the phone? Another way to bypass anti roll back would be to clear all partitions, and then flash the required ROM.
Sorry if I'm not able to help you, I'll try having a look later on.

Thank you for your support. I had to go to the service center as no solution could be found.

Wait i know what happen... Ur phone has twrp and rom successfully installed don't worry about that. Just problem is ur phone has again locked the bootloader thats why its not able to boot os because it has twrp not the official recovery. U can verify that u have bootloader locked.. when ur phone starts when there is mi logo there will not be "unlocked" written in bottom.. see... That is very easy. Just try to unlock bootloader again with mi unlock tool.
And ur good to go. I got same errors on my friends redmi 6 pro. Service center will tell u to change motherboard as it cant be fixed with edl mode. JUST TRY TO UNLOCK AGAIN WITH MI UNLOCK TOOL.

Thank you for your feedback but the phone bootloader remained unlocked as when the phone starts there is "unlocked" written in bottom.
I got the phone back from Service Center. It's working fine but strangely still the bootloader is shown as unlocked in the start animation.
