This rom is a stock rom and is almost 100% stock but it comes without dm-verity to avoid boot problems in case you want to preserve your custom recovery.
This rom is meant to be used in case of emergency, give a fresh start to your device, restore your device in case of corruption or just to play around.
I have tested this rom on my own device and everything is working properly.
Please check the specifications at the end of this op.
Requisites:
New assert-fixed twrp version forked from messi's twrp
Note: All the credit for twrp goes to @messi2050, this is just an assert revision of the current twrp made from messi. It will be deleted as soon as we get an updated version with the right assert tags.
Installation steps
Download the new assert-twrp version and flash it as you would normally do it.
Standard Wipe (factory reset) and Format Data are optional (unless you have a non-stock based rom installed already). If you want a full fresh start you should format data, reboot into recovery again and do an standard wipe x3.
Install the rom.

I think you mean screenshot right??
I usually don't take screenshots on my stock roms, basicly because there is nothing new/fancy to show. It is stock and it'll look the same as when you buyed your phone, with the same default wallpaper and apps...
I take screenshots in my slim versions (wich I will start soon).
For some reason doing the Vol - and Power does the same wipe problem as in Messi's V1 of twrp for me. Am i doing something wrong?
Lgms210 custom roms
My name is red208 and I just want to know if there is a custom ROM for MetroPCS LG ms210 preferably like Resurrection Remix I also want to know if this stock
ROM right here is at all any different form the way metro does it? Im really trying to bypass the 8 gig hotspot restrictions that metro has so it can be a truly unlimited hotspot and i know the easiest way to do that is too just Flash a custom rom plz help me??!!?

You mean that you power off your device and the use the Volume Key and Power hit yes twice, right???
If that is the case you could try flashing DM-Verity or SuperSu again to avoid that little bootloop. Or you can just stick (like me) to do and ADB REBOOT RECOVERY.
Please notice that I never mentioned that the bug-fixed twrp was intended for this bootloop/reset issue, it just correct some asserts problems that block our devices from installing this rom and any other room with the right and original asserts.

Question 1: There is not at the moment, I will start with Leaneage OS after doing my slim version. I don't know how many time it will take as this is my second device and I am just playing around with it (my V20 give me more pleasure).
Question 2: Stock means Stock... Nothing new nor fancy, same setup, apps, etc.... I mention on the OP what this rom porpuse is.
Hotspot issue: not all the time depends on a custom rom, this is my first device with metropcs service, I don't know if they sync your hotspot usage with their servers. If they do you are not going to be able to bypass that. Any ways my slim version it would get rid of plenty of bloatware and it may work if they depend on the main app on the device.

The hotspot will be monitored regardless of if you're using a stock room or custom. The only difference being that on a custom rom, you won't receive a notification stating you went over 8 gigs. Once you hit the 8 gig limit, your hotspot speed will be slowed down.
Also, when you go over your 8 gigs of high-speed hotspot it won't reset at the beginning of your pay period, but exactly a month (to the day) after you went over.
So say your pay period is the 5th and you go over your limit on the 4th. You'd have to wait until the 4th of the following month before you get high speed back.

I was just about to ask if your slim rom would be a debloat, but now I know. So good look there.
Also, if and when you get down on lineage. I'll be more than happy to test, I had been working on it myself before I blew up my hard drive. So I'd rather help then be a sponge.
Im also willing to test.
Ufffff...
Ok guys... After several days testing / building the slim version I am getting really frustated and dissapointed...
Everytime something goes wrong there is no way to boot into recovery mode using hard keys, that only makes twrp wipe and reboot but not entering on the complete twrp options. So everytime that I flash the test .zip of the slim version and I get an error before actually booting completely into the normal system I have to go to Mocosoft (windows) and use LGUP to flash the .kdz and start from scratch all over.
I hate to have to reboot my laptop and use Mocosoft, I really hate not been able to reboot in recovery mode as in other LG devices with the hardkeys.
I guess is another limitation of the actuall twrp version that we have, maybe we will have to wait for an updated twrp version to avoid all this trauma.
Right now I feel like I'm done with this device, I have used LGUP around 15 times in 3-5 days just because I can no go into twrp.
If this is happening with a stock based slim version I don't want to think about building/testing lineageos.
If you know an option to go to twrp version after a corrupted/incomplete system tell me about please. I have used the followings procedure but not success:
1.- Hardkeys (just makes twrp wipe the system).
2.- Fastboot boot twrp.img (command fails).
3.- Flashing original twrp (from messi) and then the flashing back the bug-fixed twrp (forked from messi) and trying to reproduce the first boot taking out the battery and using hardkeys (no luck, still wipes the system and reboot by it self).
Sorry guys, I think I will stop for a few days... Maybe I need to go out and have a little fun and come back...

I hope you can success with lineage 14.1, i wasn't able to make it boot on the stylo 2 plus since ms210 and ms550 are almost the same if you managed to boot it then I'm sure it will work on the stylo too, good luck.
I know it's really late, but I was just gonna say build a version of your rom with the flags for Messi's twrp and just use that to flash.
Either way, I'm glad you managed to sort the shiz out and I'm wishing you the best of luck with development.

???
I don't get it?
You mean the asserts right?
I haven't test the new twrp version of messi (no free time), so you are telling me that the new version still have the wrong flags?
I usually don't remove the CORRECT flags from my roms (a Tmo user could flash the metropcs and cause a brick/softbrick for example) to avoid user's mistakes/misread...

The new version has the correct flags. I never said it didn't.
I'm saying that a twrp can be created with unified flags allowing a room to be shared between devices without having to build between the lv3 and the aristo. Sorta like what had been done with the LG Leon a couple years ago.
Instead of using the h or Ms flags relating to model number, you can use the consistent board config as the basis.
Either way, the only way someone could brick or soft brick from this method is if it were like the S4 situation where you have to flash the carrier specific kernel version for the device. Like using the At&t rom on the Verizon s4 will cause a soft brick until you flash the Verizon s4 kernel.
This is only just an idea in response to you having to go back and forth (before you got the updated twrp) on recovery versions during your tests
OP updated to link and point to the new and updated twrp version from messi.
You guys no longer need the bug-fixed twrp version as before.

Can you do me a solid, sorry if I'm turning into an annoyance. Add "lg aristo" into either the thread tags or into the thread name itself. It'll add the thread into the Aristo board for easier access and make this easier to find. I recommended your rom to another user who had no idea what I was even talking about. (So I shared the link if you don't mind me doing so)
Just got a new Lenovo s5 (k520 running ZUI 3.7.177 ST) but can't root it (tried KingRoot and Root Genius so far).
It has a nasty little OS (ZUI 3.7) which keeps killing apps it doesn't like. It took me two days to find an adblocker which would work (AdClear) after trying Dns66, Blokada and a couple of others which I can't recall. It's tightly locked down.
* Anyway, my question is... Has anyone had any luck with rooting this phone or OS?
* Or, has anyone any suggestions for apps or rooting options which might be more successful?
If there's any other people out there with this phone, I would seriously consider chipping in to buy one for a dev to work with... give me a yell if you're interested.
Cheers,
Specs:
OS ZUI 3.7 (based on Android O)
CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 2.0GHz Octa core
ROM 64GB
RAM 4GB
Edit: Hmmm, I was hoping that the latest Magisk beta (16.6) might help, but no luck. It does seem to get further along but fails with an 'unable to find boot image' message (my apologies for not being able to quote that accurately). Nothing seems able to find that .img. Can't back it up either as no app can find it. Yes, I need to brush up my adb skills ...my last effort ended in an error reporting lack of appropriate key, as I recall (sorry, have a bit of a flu just now). Anyway, has anyone else been able to look at this phone? Anyone have any ideas (or just thoughts) about what I can do here?
Thanks.
Just to update.... I have tried every simple rooting option I can find -with no luck.
I have found one reference to installing twrp & rooting this phone, but I'm unsure how legit it is ...it just looks a little like its put together by a script; but maybe they just copy/paste a lot when writing tutes? (I have written to them but have had no response from them in a week). The tutorial makes reference to a dev/group in China successfully installing twrp, but only on a Chinese release, not international.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone knows of the group or people referenced at
http://tutoraplikasi.com/cara-root-lenovo-s5/
or if anyone might have an idea of the dev(s) in China working on twrp & lenovo?
Just a shot in the dark, really, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Cheers.
OK, looks like time for some more serious reading and brushing up of old, much neglected skilz... I will probably close this thread and open another ( if there's no objections) in the xda twrp forum.
If anyone is interested, I'm looking to compile twrp for this device with a view to flashing magisk. Hopefully, it will work. Seems that adb & unlocking the bootloader is the only way I'm going to get to actually see the partitions holding the IMG files etc. (Though I do have one or two ideas about escalating privileges/permissions, but that's a whole other bunch of research -and time which is always short.)
Anyway, if you have an interest in rooting this phone have a look for a thread under twrp Q&A.
Cheers.
Seems like it was just a matter of waiting... XN Logos has come up with a solution, it appears --

At least I managed some in depth reading in the meantime. I'll report back on success of the procedure.
Hi I have also a Lenovo s5. I hated zui 3.7 too and I succeded in installing Lineage OS 15.1 by phh using only fastboot mode... I tried rooting It but unsuccessfully. Now I want twrp and if it would be possible even root. Did you succeed with XN Logos?

Haven't actually tried yet. After all that looking for a root solution I now have been too busy. Will probably do it this Wednesday. I'll keep you posted. Did lineage work well? Any bugs or other issues? ZUI is a dog.
Yeah everything is okay... In the previous updates there was a problem with the audio in ear but now is solved. The only thing that is a little (but not dramatically) worse is battery life because in zui the fact that the os kills every app in background makes the battery last longer.
Hey guys, I know it is no the perfect thread for this yet this phone almost doesn't exist anywhere on the internet. I have the same issue with apps closing as you do. I wanted to install Lineage OS yet as there is no official release for lenovo S5. I would really appreciate some guidance on which release would I install and how. Would it be via the twrp? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm a lucky owner of this beautifull beast, the Lenovo S5 K520, but with the horfull ZUI3.7. I always have been using Cyanogen and after lineage OS.
It did not luck for me to install it on the Lenovo S5.
I manage to install TWRP-3.2.2-0713 with the help of the S-Droid toolkit for Lenovo S5.
From there, I did try every rom from phh on this page : https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/lineage-phh-treble-t3767690
but the best I did get is the first logo of lineage OS going on and never stop for hours. I also did try AOSP treble Rom from this site : https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659, but there I'm getting the Android text changing of ligth theme, but bothing more.
Could you please tell us the procedure and the version of the software you are using so that you are able to use Lineage OS on a Lenovo S5 K520?
Thanks a lot.

Hi i did in this way...
1)fastboot -w
2)fastboot erase modemst1
3)fastboot erase modemst2
4) fastboot erase system
5) fastboot erase boot
6) fastboot erase recovery
7) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8) fastboot flash boot boot.img
9) fastboot flash system {systemname}.img
The only thing you should do firstly is download the firmware from a video in YouTube whose name is like "ROM Lenovo s5" or something like that and extract the firmware in order to have both boot.img and recovery.img. Hope I could help
P.s. I used phh lineage latest build
Lenovo S5 global version stock rom
Hi everybody!
I was wondering if any of you have a copy of the original ZUI 3.7 non-Chinese stock firmware. I had trouble with my phone and contacted the customer service. Unfortunately, they've sent me the Chinese version (K520_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00011.0_O_ZUI_3.7.355_ST_180412_qpst) and now my phone is almost unusable as the rom only contains crappy Chinese stuff... :crying:
All apps are Chinese and it contains no GApps... I cannot even restore previously save config.
Please help me and send me a backup or the original non-Chinese firmware.
Thank you very much
I didn't even know the existence of an original firmware for non Chinese phones indeed when I bought it it came with a horrible chinese firmware with few translations. Did you find it? Because I want to try it too. If you didn't find it I'm also going to look for it

Hey,
youyim123 recently made his TWRP build available that I was trying to compile myself. So without further ado, here is a more or less working TWRP for the Nubia Z18 with instructions of how to install it.
Link to recovery.img
How to install it:
Boot into bootloader using
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unlock the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX606J
Flash the recovery.img using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
IMPORTANT! Navigate to "reboot to emergency recovery mode". Do not use
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
as it might not work correctly!
I found disconnecting the device from USB to be more reliable, so do that for stability
If it gets stuck, repeat steps 1 and 4. No need to reflash, just be patient
Language will be Chinese, so change that by using the settings button (second from below on the right)
That's it, you have a working TWRP now Enjoy!
EDIT: DO NOT TRY FLASHING MAGISK AS IT WILL DAMAGE DM-VERITY AND YOU'LL HAVE TO BOOT RESCUE YOUR DEVICE! YOU CAN USE MY recovery script in the bloat remover thread to fix your device
In case you get stuck in a bootloop, repeat the installation guide, then use
Code:
adb push stock.zip /data/media/0
and reflash stock firmware as a last resort until a custom ROM is available.
All credit for this goes to youyim123 and his amazing work! I know he struggled releasing this because his work is often used or redirected without his consent or giving him credit, so I'm grateful he decided to release it.

In theory, yes. In practice, it somehow doesn't give me any GApps when flashing it. I'm trying to cooperate with the OpenGapps team to fix this.

It is stable. Just make sure to unplug your phone after flashing it as otherwise it will probably get stuck after a few seconds. If you need to have your device connected to your pc, do the following:
Start adb sideload in TWRP, connect your phone to your pc, stop sideload. That way you have a working connection with adb again
Hope this helps!

i read somewhere in Nubia forums (chinese language), some dev is going to release TWRP for Z18, but it need poll to decide.
So that, i dont know this version on XDA is official or unofficial ? And as you said, if it is stable, so can i flash Gaap package to get full Goolge and service for Z18? have you tried ?
Already try few weeks ago, not working...!
The only temperary solution is "Google Space", or just wait for the global version release
As one Dev which working on LOS fot this machine point out that Lineage is very hard to compile since there's no other Dev help him, the System is block by something call AVB2...pretty ironic as this twrp not even let us using Magisk at all!

As one Dev which working on LOS fot this machine point out that Lineage is very hard to compile since there's no other Dev help him, the System is block by something call AVB2...pretty ironic as this twrp not even let us using Magisk at all!

I tried Gplay space. But all app installed from there seem work slowly and not appear on home screen (must go Gplay space and run app)

i read somewhere in Nubia forums (chinese language), some dev is going to release TWRP for Z18, but it need poll to decide.
So that, i dont know this version on XDA is official or unofficial ? And as you said, if it is stable, so can i flash Gaap package to get full Goolge and service for Z18? have you tried ?

Please read the first post precisely and then the post in the nubia forum again. Youyim is the guy who made the poll and he made it public. I simply brought it to a wider audience and link to his official GitHub for the img.
You cannot flash Gapps with this because it errors. I said so a couple of times before and would appreciate a bit of effort reading before asking. You probably spent more time on writing this than you would've reading the first three post entries here, disregarding the fact that I'm trying to reply in detail. It's all in the first post, please read that before asking next time..
To sum up:
- It's the "official" TWRP from youyim, all credit goes to him
- You can not install Gapps with this, I haven't found a resolution for this but am working on an alternative. See my other thread or post #3 here

It's the same dev I'm the guy working on LineageOS as well and yes AVB2 (Basically think of it as Android's answer to secure boot on Computers) is a pain in the a** to deal with. Compiling itself is rather easy compared to the pain that comes after it, it's just killing lots of time and I unfortunately don't have that with a full time job. That's why I tried getting more people involved but (again) failed apparently.
TWRP doesn't have anything to do with Magisk either. Magisk is modifying the boot partition as far as I'm aware (don't hate me topjohnwu) and it relies on either no AVB/DM-Verity or a flag that doesn't work here either. TWRP in contrast just modifies/overrides the boot partition and is (mostly) used to flash many things including Magisk.
I think Z18 not have a global version, so we'll never see international firmware for this product. The only way I hope is some one or some dev support official method for install Google. And hope good news come soon.
Thanks all!

Isn't a global release coming in like 2 weeks or something? At least that's what I read last time I checked
I can tell you an official method. Root your phone and rewrite google services to system. Otherwise wait until developers can take a look at Rom building like I do now or even better, get involved. Being a one man show isn't helping the cause even if you have a couple spectators because it makes you feel more or less like a monkey in a cage

https://www.gadgetsnow.com/mobile-phones/Nubia-Z18 for instance. India isn't global lol. They mostly just buy masses of phones and then resell. And yeah I can understand they won't release a global version anytime soon. The phone is great but looking at the source code, it's horrible. I even had to submit a patch so they get their build fixed!
As for the download, try the second one. Baidu is blocking anything non China by now afaik. It will also be included in the LineageOS ROM whenever I'll get that done..
Hello everyone, since I have this mobile I have some problems. When paying with the phone, most of the time the NFC gives me an error and I have to try a thousand times. And the worst of all is that when I open the gallery or the camera, the brightness goes down to the minimum. Has anyone had these problems and solved them? Thank you very much.
Don't use stock rom, flash xiaomi.eu. It's way better than what xiaomi ships their phones with.
I had that issue with the stock, theirs a big list of bugs. I'm on xioami.eu 13.0.13 (recent as of this comment)
and all those are gone, except the phone bug where you have to answer in speaker mode once on, and off to fix it.
also the lockscreen video wallpaper doesn't loop, and stops playing after a while.
this is where the rom is,

Thank you very much. I forgot to mention that my mobile is Poco x4 pro 5g. I have a Mac, and I don't know how to change the rom, the tools are for Windows.

XiaomiFlashTool V2 exists for all operating systems. You can also just use a vm to do this on your mac. Just pass your phone in after booting to fastboot and ensure you have fastboot drivers installed on your mac.

Xiaomi Flash Tool V2 is it safe to flash a rom on a device, or there is a lot of risk of bricking

As long as you get the right rom file it is fine. So triple check and ensure that you downloaded the right rom.

According to the colleague, the Xiaomi.eu rom has a bug when picking up the call. I don't know if that will be solved with the following updates, that's why I'm afraid to download that rom and that to solve the brightness it could spoil another function of the mobile.

Upto you whether you want to do or not. I won't be able to flash anything until my bootloader unlocks so I don't know what the differences between the roms are.
...hello,
first things first: ...you have to unlock your bootloader for get this working ...you will need Magisk and default ADB and fastboot tools ...I won´t get into the bootloader unlocking part or essentials
...I suggest getting "Oxygen Updater" at Google PlayStore and download your FULL rom ...maybe it will complain about the "wrong" version (India/Europe) but I know I´m in Europe and it´s a CPH2409 ...so I got the most recent full update, in my case: CPH2409_11_A.11 ...you have to download the same version as actually installed
...after downloading the File, get the PayLoadDumperGo from XDA Member ssssut and extract the downloaded file ...maybe you will need to add "liblzma-5.dll" to the directory ...I think you will manage it by yourself ...you will only need the "boot.img" and "vbmeta.img"
...copy the boot.img to your phone and patch it with the usual Magisk method (install / choose file) and copy back the resulting magisk_boot.img to your pc.
...now the tricky part ...and yes, I got the "broken Boot/Recovery Image Screen" and yes I was scared for just a few seconds ...but I solved it and here is how:
reboot your Device to fastboot mode (unlocked) and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot .\magisk_boot.img
DO NOT REBOOT NOW!!!
...you will have to flash vbmeta.img like this:
Code:
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta .\vbmeta.img
...now it´s time to reboot and when it´s done just start up Magisk Manager and finish the setup and you´re done ...simple as can be
...best regards

...addicted since Ginger Bread 2.3 as you, Sir
...but, I can understand your doubts ...too many "root your bla bla" and it doesn't stop on XDA, neither ...I can just suggest you to download the "Full Image" for your Software Version in "Oxygen Updater" and expand the resulting "payload.bin" with the appropriate (python ???) tool
...but be sure to know more about A/B partitioning as I did until yesterday
...very best regards

Followed instructions, yet managed to brick mine. It often crashes during boot, and once it makes it through and android launches, the screen is unresponsive. After a minute or so it crashes and tries to reboot.
Because I'm unable to authorize debugging options on my phone, I can't enter any commands through ADB and am therefore blocked from resetting or recovering.

Thanks for your reply!
I can put it in recovery mode, but when attempting a wipe it requires you to enter a pin which is displayed on the screen. Since the touchscreen doesn't work I'm unable to get past this step.
...are you sure you downloaded the correct firmware for your device??? ...I know the touch problems or display issues can happen with the wrong firmware because of the kernel module implementation ...if you didn't play around with TWRP or some recovery foo, you can enter fastbootd mode for sure ...because the same happened to me ...and yes, not fastboot ...I really mean fastbootd ...in this emergency mode, you will get Chinese or Korean letters and can navigate with the volume buttons
...and by the way, I didn't know you have to authorize the regular fastboot mode???
...maybe you describe your steps more detailed ...what was the initial firmware version, which one did you download, did you do Magisk patching, did you pay attention to flash to the correct slot, did you patch Magisk during or after the update and so on ...once again: it's nearly impossible to brick new devices with a/b partitioning and fastbootd support ...we will get you through this, don't worry
