and all rom for P6000: http://www.needrom.com/category/elephone/p6000/
How Can we get E4g stockboot.img and META-INF folder for port this MIUI7 rom?
Thanks:good:

This app works great for backing up partitions, in options change it to (img) http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-partitions-backup-t3003599

If MIUI, then there's a newer version on MIUI pro.
You can back up boot image as @pryerlee said or via Flashify. For META-INF, we can take it from Elephone (as it's newer Android version so might be different) and just modify some lines (like the partition id's or the getprop lines at the beginning).
@n_s218 thank you, works great! This might be the beginning of custom ROMs for this device :victory:

1. most of file empty (look at with hex editor) actually ~8 mb
2.boot partition backup file(boot.img) you must rename boot.elf and extract with flashtool elf extractor . you will get two file : boot.elf.0 = kernel , boot.elf.1=ramdisk

Thanks man...

yes. right.
also you can boot.sin in ftf file ectract with flashtool sin editor

So I've tried to port Euphoria OS from P6000 using this guide.
I've done the ROM part, the updater script was also fine, but I've failed to port kernel: tried both tools mentioned there, Michfood's tool gave error for p6000 boot IMG, carliv's for both.
I've tried to flash the ROM with stock boot IMG, but with it the phone shuts down after Sony logo.
BTW I've backed up stock boot IMG via TWRP, but this shouldn't matter imo.
So can anyone help me with kernel?
EDIT: I'll try if the kernel in MIUI gives error too.
EDIT2: yes, same... Carliv's kitchen says unsupported archive format for ramdisk, Michfood's says something about that end offset is lower than start...
EDIT3: found this alternative for stock boot IMG. Still no solution for p6000 one
EDIT4: successfully decompiled P6000 kernel via Carliv's kitchen 1.0, by choosing regular Android (not mtk) mode. So now both kernels are decompiled but via different tool, so the output is not the same... Still didn't try the tool from EDIT3, it might be the solution.
EDIT5: I have no idea how to use tool from EDIT3 Now I'm downloading ftf, will see if I can do sth... Also I'll try this other tutorial for 64bit.

If you try to flash any custom partition, your device can bricks or gets in bootloop. This patch with disabled verity and disabled verification avoid it and need to be flashed once only. Once flashed, you don't need to flash vbmeta again.

You can patch BOOT + VBMETA using the magisk app !
Yes, magisk app will patch VBMETA too !
Just follow this:
1. Download the full stock rom.
2. Extract these two files: boot.img and vbmeta.img.
3. COMPRESS those two files to TAR. (Attention: TAR and NOT tgz. You can use 7-Zip: https://7-zip.org )
4. Open the magisk app and click on "install to file".
5. Select the COMPRESSED TAR file and wait until it finish.
6. Open the folder "Downloads" and uncompress the file magisk_patched.tar to get the patched boot.img and the patched vbmeta.img.
7. Flash the patched boot.img and the patched vbmeta.img. (You need to flash patched vbmeta because vbmeta verifies if any partition was changed.)
Done, you got patched boot.img and patched vbmeta.img files.
Warning: magisk app will ignore if you try to patch ONLY the vbmeta.img, you need to patch vbmeta.img together boot.img compressed in only one file.

Did you unlock the bootloader?
The patched boot and patched vbmeta are enough to root it, but it requires unlocked bootloader.

Hey bro, can you help me root this device. My device is unlocked but none of the fastboot commands work , it just freezes and doesnt move ahead at all.

I tried the same on my OPPO, but with Bootloader locked and flashed through SP Flash Tool. My phone detects a patched vbmeta (coz I tested flashing the patched vbmeta alone.)

Yes, you can't flash patched vbmeta while bootloader is locked.
You need to unlock bootloader first if you want to apply any change to any partition.
