Hello again everyone. This is a quick guide on how to change Regional firmware on our Nord2T device (ie going from CPH2399 to CPH2401)
I cannot be responsible if you brick your device. Your phone, your choices, your responsibility!
Before we get started I would recommend unlocking the bootloader (unsure if this is a necessity but my device was unlocked at the time of trying so I would recommend users do the same)
1 - Unlock the bootloader (if you haven't done it already...beware that this will erase all of your user data). To do so, you must:
Enable developer options
Enable the "OEM unlocking" option
Enable USB debugging
Have both adb and fastboot, from SDK Platform Tools available on your PC
Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable and run the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
(just to make sure that your phone is, in fact, recognized by your PC and that you're able to run adb commands)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(so your phone will reboot into fastboot mode)
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
(device should now unlock)
Code:
fastboot reboot
(device reboots with an unlocked bootloader and data partition wiped)
2 - Download and Install Fastboot Enhance from HERE
3 - Download the IND rollback package from HERE
4 - Extract the rollback package zip to your PC (the only file you need once it is unzipped is payload.bin)
5 - Connect your device back to PC and reboot to fastboot yet again.
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
6 - Once in fastbootd open Fastboot Enhance on PC and you should see your device in the "Fastboot Visualization" tab.
Make sure to click on "Ignore unknown partitions" on the bottom of the screen. Then click on the "partitions" option and under partitions and delete every file that ends with "cow" refer to screenshot, just select and delete.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7. Click on "Flash payload.bin" and browse for the payload.bin you extracted earlier.
8. Once flashed you can reboot (recommended to either factory reset from settings after the device restarts or wipe data in fastboot for a smoother experience.
This is only tested on a Global device using firmware version CPH2399_11_A.17 and flashing IND CPH2401_11_A.17 ROLLBACK PACKAGE!!
Subsequent updates will now be on the IND branch for your device also.
Hope this helps someone out!
If anyone has any questions/input/recommendations please feel free to discuss below and any issues we will help to resolve them.
Have a good day peeps

I figured i would post this thread on how to get rid of sticky bit fastboot So far this should work on any android powered phone..
So i was searching around and couldnt find actual answers on how to get rid of that annoying ass sticky bit factory fastboot menu when phone powers up. So i decided to take matter in my own hands and learn a little bit about adb and fastboot commands etc.. Typed in some commands in a certain order and BOOM sticky bit no longer gets in the f-ing way ^^ this should work on any android powered phone seeing how it doesnt go to any specific phone. So far i learned that it works on the xpirea (how ever you spell it) and the droid razr m consumer and dev edition. so here we go.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE USB DEBUGGING ENABLED
Files to download:
Android.zip: http://www.mediafire...0imf9xv2uicwkbh
Latest usb drivers: http://www.motorola....motodev_lp.html
STEPS
1. Power up your phone completely.
2. extract the folder in the android.zip file to your local disk. just drag the folder to local C: or whatever your main HD is
3. hold left shift and right click on the folder and click on pen command window here"
4. plug in your phone if you havnt done so already
5. in the command window type: adb devices ( this makes sure your phone is connected and it'll show its serial number under List of devices attached.
6. once it shows the serial number type in these commands ( these are in order)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
and walla phone will reboot like when you first got it ^^

I understand this is an old phone and probably almost useless as well, but this is a backup phone I happen to have around. Being an entry level phone, there's not a lot of RAM and internal storage, it slows down massively over time. Feeling frustrated, I decided to root the phone so that I can remove unwanted apps and install trimmer.
This is a very brief guide for rooting the TWM Amazing X3s in hope that it would be useful for others as there's very little information about rooting this device, it also serves as a record for myself in case I need to root it again in the future. I've already tried flashing TWRP, but I was never able to boot into TWRP and it appears to be restored back to the stock recovery everytime.
What you'll need:
Stock ROM
Magisk Manager
fastboot (there's plenty of resources online describing how to install/use it)
Android USB driver (there's plenty of resources online describing how to install/use it)
You must unlock the bootloader before applying root, be aware that this process will wipe your phone clean, make sure you have backed up everything first:
In "About phone", repeatedly tap "Build number" until developer options are enabled.

}
In developer options, enable "OEM unlocking"
Power off the phone
Press and hold volume up + power until you see the bootloader
Move the cursor to fastboot mode with volume up, select it with volume down.
Once you get into the fastboot mode, execute the following:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
You'll be prompted with this:
Confirm unlocking with volume up
Execute
Code:
fastboot reboot
Root instructions:
Install the Magisk Manager apk
Extract boot.img from the stock ROM you downloaded and copy it to your phone
Open up Magisk Manager, tap install. When prompted with options for installation, select "Patch Boot Image File". Browse to boot.img you copied previously.
Magisk will generate a patched_boot.img file under the same location as boot.img, copy it to your PC.
Boot into fastboot mode again
Execute
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Execute
Code:
fastboot reboot
Once the system boots up, open up Magisk Manager to check if it's been installed.
Congratulations! Your phone is now rooted!
For those who are lazy, you can skip steps 2~4 and download patched_boot.img instead.
Hello everyone, I have a big problem with my device, it happens that the system started to fail and after that it turned off, when I turned on it stayed in a bootloop and I can only access the fastboot, the question is that my device does not have the OEM and I never did any modifications so it doesn't have recovery either.
So far I have tried to install for fastboot the boot.img and system.img from the original firmware but I get the error "remote: not allowed in locked state" because the bootloader is locked
Any recommendation?
Reflash original Stock ROM by means of ADB Sideload method

but I can't use recovery and it doesn't have TWRP installed either.
The truth is that I am quite new to this subject but it would help me a lot if you guide me through that process.
In addition, the stock rom offered by ulefone is in .tar.gz format
Both Stock Recovery and TWRP aren't needed to perform an ADB Sideload: both mentioned recoveries internally simply make use of this method.
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <STOCK-ROM-ZIP-FILE>
You at any time can convert a tar.gz archive to a zip archive. GIYF ...

How about, I was trying to access with ADB, however when I put adb devices, the device does not appear, perhaps because I did not have the USB debugging before the bootloop, I was trying with different commands and nothing happens, but it does appear in the device manager. I'm sure I have the correct drivers because I tried another device with USB debugging enabled and it works fine.

It should be obvious to you that ADB can't work as expected if USB debug option isn't got enabled on Android.
how can the bootloop be solved if only fastboot is available?
And the manufacturer flashing tool doesn't recognize the phone?
I cannot reflash the phone.
My phone battery went off I plugged the charger and it boots me to twrp even though I didn't wish to open it when I press to boot me to system I still end up in twrp window... I also get this noffication

Do you want to be able to modify your system partition(including rooting the device) at some point in the future? If so, check the box beside the "never show this screen during boot again" then just swipe the slider at the bottom to allow modifications in the future.
Or
If you do not plan to modify your system partition in any kind of way, tap the "keep read only" button.
This happened to me multiple times, for me it was an error with flashing Treble GSI from google, tho i fixed it by going in fastboot mode/bootloader and on my PC to flash boot, lk, lk2, recovery (official one) and then reboot my phone, but you will delete the TWRP Recovery just so you know.

NOTE: I don't know if this will work for you and might brick your device if you don't use correct ROM files...

Also if it then boots into Fastboot mode than you can try flashing all files (It will factory reset your phone)
You have to install adb and fastboot on your PC
Commands:
cd *the path to adb and fastboot*
fastboot devices
fastboot flash *what you wanna flash* *filename of the file that you wanna flash*
For Example if you wanna flash boot it will be like ( fastboot flash boot boot.img ) if the filename is with .bin wich most new devices use it will be fastboot flash boot boot.bin
Hope that this helps
SAFTY INFORMATION: Whatever you do, its on your own responsibility. Your warranty might be void and there is the risk of bricking your device!
So this is what I did:
Tools
Magisk-v25.2.apk
Latest M3X Firmware
ADB Tools
EDL.py
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract the boot.img from M3X Firmware V1.62- Do not open, just copy.zip
Copy the Magisk-v25.2.apk and boot.img to your Shanling M3X
Install the Magisk-v25.2.apk
In Magisk press "Install" in the upper right corner

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On "Method" select "Select and Patch a File" and choose your boot.img then press "Let's Go"
Spoiler
When Magisk is done, you can close the App and transfer the patched boot.img to your PC.
On your M3X, activate Developer Mode. Settings > About device > Tap multiple times on the Build number
In Developer Options, activate USB debugging
On your PC extract the platform-tools.zip and install EDL.py
Plug the M3X into your computer with a good USB cable. You may be promted to allow USB debugging on the M3X - check "Always allow from this computer" and OK
Open a Command/Terminal window and navigate to your platform-tools folder
Use following command
Code:
adb reboot edl
the display of your M3X will now turn black
In the Command/Terminal window navigate to your EDL.py installation
From now on you could brick your device, please advance only if you know what you are doing!
I would highly recommend to do a backup of everything with the commands mentioned on the EDL Github site
14. Use following command to dump your stock boot.img
Code:
edl r boot boot.img
the stock boot.img will appear in your EDL folder, move to a safe space.
15. Now copy your Magisk patched boot.img into the EDL folder and run following command:
Code:
edl w boot boot.img
16. When EDL is done, you can disconnect your M3X. You might need to hold the powerbutton for 20-30 seconds until it leaves edl mode and starts booting.
17. Congratulations! You rooted your M3X
Further information: There seems to be a undocumented method using the tool "QFIL" but I dont know anything about it. Might ne worth a try.
Have fun
Thanks for this tutorial. Can you drop some screen shots and an overview of what you're able to change now that you're rooted.
I've been thinking of getting a HiBy R6. But it being on Android 9 is annoying. My guess is if I can get it rooted, that it's possible to update to a newer version of Android.
Hi, I’m trying to root my M3 Ultra with this method but I’m facing a problem.
On windows when trying to enter « edl r boot boot.img » it says me that « r » is not a command…
Any help would be really appreciated please
Thanks in advance for replying
