When connecting my phone to my computer to copy the .zip file called Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt, the storage wouldn't show on my computer for me to copy it there to flash it

Will SM-A205F have a working backup/restoring TWRP and ROOT when the Android 10 firmware is completely released ?

Are you connecting the phone while in TWRP ?
If so then you want to enable MTP and mount the system and data to transfer files between PC

Yes.
MTP is enabled and everything is mounted, still no connection is being done, might it be a TWRP issue.

You should download it straight to your phone.
Store on sd card

MTP is not working in Q TWRP. Looks like the original problem has reappeared that was solved by afaneh92 in his Pie kernel.

Its working on Ultimate Q
So is backup and restore
It has Minh's kernel built in

@physwizz MTP does indeed work from within Ultimate Q but not at the TWRP level (with a Windows PC) with either the v14.3 Minh Kernel that comes with Ultimate VQ or v14.4 installed afterwards. Maybe it works with a Mac but not on Windows platforms.
Backup and restore seem to be working happily and the dreaded red text of death has not been an issue at all using Ultimate Q and Ultimate VQ ROMs.

Minh's kernel also won't get flashed, it gives an update error.

[Tutorial] Root Symphony W60 (MediaTek MT6575)

Here is the complete guide for rooting Symphony W60. It'll work on any MT6575 device. Tested by me on Windows 7.
Instructions:
1. First you need to download & install MT6575's driver on your PC. For this, install & run this app.
2. Now download & extract this package on your computer.
3. Connect your phone to PC with USB debugging option (Media Mode) enabled (Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging > Enable).
4. Now click on "TPSparkyRoot.bat" from your extracted folder.
5. And then follow the on-screen instructions.
Tips: It'll reboot your device three times. After every single reboot, you need to wait until your device fully loaded again and connected to your PC automatically. After then you follow the programme instructions.
After last reboot, your phone will be successfully rooted. You'll get busybox installed, superuser access and you can do whatever you want to do like link2sd, reverse tethering etc..

I get it. Your device's bootloader is locked. So you need to flash custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, then root your phone. Try to find custom recovery for your device.

2 - apply update from sdcard
3 - wipe data / factory reset
4 - wipe cache partition
5 - backup user data
6 - restore user data
is that what you mean? thanks :crying:

Nope. That is stock recovery. You need to use custom recovery. But you've a recovery at least, try to flash SuperSU binary files with that, can be worked.
Download this .zips, place them to your sd card (not in any folder) and flash them from recovery with "Apply update zip from SD card" option.

Thank you for this thread, waiting for my own phone. If you need, I can host files as a mirror in 24/7 with 200 mbits up.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA-Developers mobile app
My phone has arrived! It has very nice screen, but the hyped camera is worst than my old Nexus 5 (8MP). Very noisy, and not so detailed. Maybe the next upgrade will solve it.
The problem: is there any idea, how can I access my phone? I have an unknown device in my Device manager, but I cant find driver. Tried MTP and USB device too. Interesting: PTP (Photo transfer) if working!
Thank you!
Edit: Windows 10 driver is not working properly. Have to unisntall it and reinstall MTK USB driver. MTP is working now.

No changelog. My 5.0GHz WiFi works perfectly though.
@joco1114 : have you noticed some battery improvements with the latest OTA update? Here I see huge improvements.
Nope, but the bluetooth connection is better now. And the troubles with WiFi still exist. The SSIDs are vanishing, connection stable, but no internet transmission. I've tried several places with same result. Used Veloxity for better channel selection, but sometimes I got 65/135 Mbps, other 0.1/0.5 only. Or 0/0... The problem mainly appears on 5 GHz network.

Just like TWRP, get the "scatter" file from the Stock ROM package, copy it in a folder (new one, it must be empty) where you put the "recovery.img" file together with the "scatter" file, then open SP Flash Tool, select scatter, press download. Done!
Thank you! I'm very new in this topic, I had a Nexus 5, I used adb/fastboot to flash recovery. MTK (and SP Flash Tool) is new for me, so sorry about my dumb questions.
I installed the img file (succesfully), started the phone with vol-/power, but I got the original recovery menu. Did I miss something?

Uhm ok, so you might have missed something. After flashing the device with SP Flash Tool, turn it on with Vol +/Power and go into recovery mode. If the device boots to the OS before you get into TWRP, then it will be overwritten losing the work you have done before.
TWRP Recovery by jemmini.
All thanks to him!
Mirror - Google Drive
Scatter file - here (need to unzip)
Drivers, SPFT, SN Writer - here
If I start the phone with vol+/power, I got 3 menu in very small font size. The first is Recovery. After that I got an open android icon (recovery) and "No command." title (or somthing similar). If I press vol+/power for a short time, the original recovery appear. Maybe everything is OK, but I press wrong buttons. There is no CTR. Trying TWRP...

5. open minmal adb and fastboot and enter the following commands:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]fastboot devices[/COLOR]

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 !!!

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 .

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.

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.

Im facing boot loops, I wanted to install lineage os but my device was not supported, I accidentaly deleted all the memory through twrp, the phone have unlocked bootloader and it can get into fastboot without issues, the adb/fastboot on pc it detects the phone. The one thing which I was unable to do was to get into factory update via holding vol up down and power button
I found the stock firmware rom for my phone here :

You can't go to factory update like above until you flash "stock recovery.img"
Do you have the file named " stock.img " ??

You'll have to flash the official stock recovery.img first
and then you'll be able to install Official Firmware or "Update.app" on your mobile..

If no, then you can download from the official website of Huawei.
If yes, then proceed to following:
Extract the zip file containing "dload\UPDATE.APP" file
Attach SD card to the Computer. Copy the "dload" folder (containing file ) and paste it in the root of SD Card.
Insert SD card into the mobile.
Enter into recovery mode by holding volume and power keys.
Now It will automatically detect the firmware file and begin flashing.

I did so I formated my sd card and then extracted the zip with dload folder into the sd card. After that I removed the sd card and put it back into the phone and then I pushed vol up and vol down and then pushed the power button. after a while the honor screen turned on and after that the recovery emui utility installed the android and that was it! Thank you for helping me to unbrick this device I really appreciate it I wanted it to flash it originally with lineage only because of privacy concerns, would you give me tips on how to make the phone more privacy related? so it will spy on me lesser? I mean is it possible to get near lineage os in terms of privacy?

I'm Sorry! I do not know much about Lineage OS. Once, I tried to flash Lineage OS but got same problem as you.
Later on, I found a complete way, But couldn't do myself due to lack of time. However, Here is the link for step by step guide.

It will make a backup (of size of about 4.2 GB) of Your Whole "Data and OS" and store it in SD Card (or in your computer.)
Later, whenever you stuck in any problem like before, you can simply restore your phone, it will be restored to the same condition. (along with user data)
