Unlocking bootloader and installing Custom recovery [Sprout4] [Marshmallow 6.0]

So i have successfully installed a custom recovery on my phone running Marshmallow and also unlocked the bootloader!
Its quite simple actually!
I am not responsible for any damage you make to your phone!
Steps-
1. Download the zip file from the link and extract it.
2. Install both the drivers and then proceed!(The drivers are universal and work for Windows 98,xp,vista,7,8,8.1,10 but in 8,8.1,10 you might need to turn off the digital signature verification-Make good use of google)
3.After installing the drivers , connect your phone in switched on and remember to turn on usb debugging in the dev options!
4. Open the unlock_bootloader_... and run the .bat file and follow the on screen steps( All the data will be formatted so make a backup beforehand)
5.After doing this you will void your warranty so make sure you know what you are doing!
6. Open the one click installer folder and replace the recovery.img with any recovery that you want.
7. Now again connect your phone in switched on mode and usb debugging on and run the .bat file of recovery installer.. and follow the on screen steps!
8.As soon as the the recovery installation is over do not let teh phone reboot just press the vol up button as the installation process stops and then go to recovery!
9.Boom!! Now you have a phone with unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed on marshmallow!!
10.Flash custom Kernels,Boot Animations, Logos and root your phone running marshmallow and brag!

Recovery Kernel?
Hi bro just a quick question did you use the MM kernel in the custom recovery?
On our None AOSP standard Mediatek devices the rom does a Kernel check to ensure both the boot and recovery Kernels are of the same version eg KK boot = KK Recovery LP boot = LP Recovery so I just wondered if the MM Kernel still works in the Philz recovery or are you still using a kernel from a older version of android eg KK or LP.
Hope that makes sense to you :laugh:

How to open the unlock_bootloader ??? There is no such option

how about rooting? what method did you use?

Well i did not make anything that can do that but you'll probably find it in other threads. You can also flash bootloader.using the stock rom file via sp flash tools to relock it just untick everything else but bootloader!

Unlocking bootloader is necessary? Can I not just do it with it locked bootloader?

Yes it does, the tool is also all about it. In the one click recovery intaller folder replace the recovery.img with your twrp(you will have to rename twrp.img file to recovery.img) and follow the steps in the first post in this thread!

[RECOVERY][ROOT][TWRP 3.0.2-1]Galaxy A7 - SM-A710F/FD/Y/M - Exynos7580

Unofficial release -TWRP recovery for the Galaxy A7 - SM-A710F/FD/Y/M Exynos7580
UPDATE 14/4/2016: TWRP 3.0.2-0 released.
https://twrp.me/site/update/2016/04/...-released.html
TWRP is now v3.0.2-1
SEANDROID warning fix
New feature available in TWRP 3.0.0-0 is system image backup and restore and factory image flashing (see TWRP changelog for details)
Basically this means factory images from the official firmware can now be flashed with TWRP instead of ODIN. I have extended this feature to include BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, CACHE, HIDDEN and RADIO(MODEM) partitions.
This feature can be found under INSTALL >> INSTALL IMAGE >> select image to flash >> select partition.
NOTE: To flash the modem, first it needs to be renamed to modem.bin.img
F2FS support added.
Internal SUPERSU root option removed. This is to prevent boot loops on 5.11/6.0 devices
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
Instructions:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-a710
PLEASE DO *NOT* DIRECT LINK TO THESE FILES. PLEASE LINK TO THIS POST
To Root:
Flash the file below with TWRP:
DO NOT LET TWRP ROOT YOUR DEVICE IF IT ASKS. USE ONLY THE FILE BELOW:
https://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/
DEVICE TREE: soon
NOTE: ON SOME ANDROID 5.1.1 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.

Please note I don't own this device and spend a lot of my free time bringing these builds for you to use and benefit from.
FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED PLEASE.
THANKS.

works like a charm 100%

Hi Ashyx,
Saw that you posted TWRP for both A510F and A710F, any chance you could compile for the A310F too?
It would be very much appreciated!
Cheers

The stock firmware, but why would you?

Incase the mobile has boot loop
For safety i want the stock recovery
From twrp recovery installed xposed installer some times mobile will be in boot loop for that i want the stock recovery

How is stock recovery going to rescue you from a bootloop?
For that you need a custom recovery like twrp to simply make a backup first.

Kk thank u
Can we install xposed installer in A710FD
Please suggest me its working or not

[Recovery](KENZO)TWRP-COFFACE (3.0.0) No patched boot.img required to flash MIUI roms

Hi All,
You guys must be thinking why i'm sharing this recovery when we already have Official TWRP Recovery
actually this Recovery is Lil bit modified (One of my friend Found it somewhere)
via this Recovery you guys will able to Flash any MIUI Rom without Modifying/Patching Boot.img (I tested it my self)(i flashed miui global stable 7.2.3 and global dev 6.4.28)no patched boot.img required
Note:- I'm Not responsible for any kind Of damage caused to your device
Orignal Link => https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6zD6Bewl4FmQVJGVVBOdzRmT2M/view
Password to the zip :- www.cofface.com
Instructions to flash
download the zip file (link provided)
extract The TWRP recovery.img (password given)
and flash it via flashify or Fastboot
Fastboot Command "Fastboot flash recovery "image-name.img"
yoo done
BUG:- Its not a major bug its not even a bug(i'm just considering it as a bug) but kinda annoying once you flash this recovery this recovery will change your device name from KENZO to CM_KENZO(this not gonna affect anything) but if you will try flash AOSP v4 or anyother AOSP build that verifies the Product name will give some errors
that "This build is for kenzo devices not for Cm_kenzo device"
Solution :- Open the zip in winrar and edit the updater script just change the Kenzo word with CM_Kenzo and it will work (alot of work to do right)
Another solution (this one is better i guess)
when ever you wanna flash MIUi official firmware flash this reocvery via Flashify.
flash the miui rom...
boot it up again flash the official TWRP recovery(so that you will able to flash other roms)
WARNING:- Dont flash miui rom via official TWRP recovery it will not boot untill you flash the Modify boot.img
Update
Bug fixed ===> "This build is for kenzo devices not for Cm_kenzo device"==>No Error now

Seems to work, but TWRP is in Chinese?
I used Cofface's abd + fastboot files and replaced cofface_recovery_twrp_kenzo.img with the fixed TWRP.img provided by Rajdip. I get some prompt from what I can tell, but since everything is in Chinese I don't know what to click. I'll try to find a solution and post it here.
Update (Solved):
I still don't know what the first screen message was about, but you can get into the normal TWRP menu by swiping the slider to the right. After that click the second from the bottom button on the right to get into settings. Press the globe-symbol on the upper tab bar. From there you can choose the language you want TWRP to be in.
Update #2:
Works like a charm for me. Just installed SuperSU as well. I'm on Redmi Note 3 SnapDragon with Global Developer ROM 6.4.14 (MIUI7), officially unlocked bootloader. Thank you very much for posting OP!

The first prompt that appears is whether you would like to make TWRP modify system files or keep it read only. In simple words, if you swiping to the right Mi recovery wont replace TWRP when MIUI roms are flashed. If anyone didnt swipe right on the first prompt, just goto mount and unselect the read-only option.

Nice to know. TWRP asked the same thing (again apparently) when I rebooted from menu to system. It also provided the option to install SuperSU (or rather install the SuperSU Installer - whatever that was worth). I'm confirmed rooted now and recovery is still TWRP after many reboots. :good:

But is 3.0.0.0
I don't understand that

No it will not fix that.... actually the thing Is When we unlock Bootloader with Official method it will not get relock while flashing any rom(via recovery)(miflash can still do that) in unofficial Method we replaces the emmc file with the modified one(and when we flash any official rom this file get replaced as this one is modified and (update. Zip/miuirom.zip) does not verify that emmc and relocks the boot loader....
What This recovery does is...
Miui roms inculde some recovery verification On The first boot
Which means it will replace twrp with the stock miui recovery which will cause bootloop...
For this we need to flash the patched/modified boot.img
But This recovery is Lil modified (it auto patches the boot.img and and our recovery does not get replaced and yoo thats how this recovery successfully flashes miui without a patched boot.img

The TWRP survives the flash and Magisk can be flashed to Root the ROM but after above two files are flashed.

Tutorial(downgrade8.1.0=>7.1.1)use nougat stok/custom-roms on Oreo BC-12 bootloader

Tutorial(downgrade8.1.0=>7.1.1)use nougat stok/custom-roms on Oreo BC-12 bootloader
This tutorial is for the users wich are not satisfied by Oreo 8.1.1 rom
Also can be used by users wich changed the touchscreen from some reazons
and on Oreo 8.1.1 this new touchscreen not work​
First got to Settings/System/Developer option and chec OEM-unlockin to be ENABLED!
for flashing twrp-recovery may be need to unlock the bootloader by code but it should work only with OEM-unlocking enabled
Downgrading with FASTBOOT!
1) Charge youre phone to at least 50-70%, better is 100%
2) Download the FILES necessary for downgrading
3) Reboot the phone in bootloader and connect to the pc
4) Opend the terminal and write "fastboot" or "mfastboot" depends by your instaled fastboot
5) Copy/Paste in terminal the lines writed in "fastboot-mfastboot.txt" atached to files
or write them one by one and press ENTER
WAIT 'till it finish
6) In bootloader screen, from buttons vol-up & vol-down navigate and set to "reboot recovery" and press Power
Phone should boot in TWRP-recovery!
Now you have to install a custom-rom or a stok-rom TWRP flashable with Install option
""for this use the instruction to install posted by the developer of each rom""
Also you can RESTORE an older 7.1.1 backup made before update to OREO
Reboot and enjoy by nougat-7.1.1 rom on oreo-8.1.0 bootloader
Downgrading with TWRP
Files to be flashed with TWRP for the users wich have olready the TWRP-recovery instaled!

This tutorial is for the users wich are not satisfied by Oreo 8.1.1 rom
Also can be used by users wich changed the touchscreen from some reazons
and on Oreo 8.1.1 this new touchscreen not work​
First got to Settings/System/Developer option and chec OEM-unlockin to be ENABLED!
for flashing twrp-recovery may be need to unlock the bootloader by code but it should work only with OEM-unlocking enabled
Downgrading with FASTBOOT!
1) Charge youre phone to at least 50-70%, better is 100%
2) Download the FILES necessary for downgrading
3) Reboot the phone in bootloader and connect to the pc
4) Opend the terminal and write "fastboot" or "mfastboot" depends by your instaled fastboot
5) Copy/Paste in terminal the lines writed in "fastboot-mfastboot.txt" atached to files
or write them one by one and press ENTER
WAIT 'till it finish
6) In bootloader screen, from buttons vol-up & vol-down navigate and set to "reboot recovery" and press Power
Phone should boot in TWRP-recovery!
Now you have to install a custom-rom or a stok-rom TWRP flashable with Install option
""for this use the instruction to install posted by the developer of each rom""
Also you can RESTORE an older 7.1.1 backup made before update to OREO
Reboot and enjoy by nougat-7.1.1 rom on oreo-8.1.0 bootloader
Downgrading with TWRP
Files to be flashed with TWRP for the users wich have olready the TWRP-recovery instaled!
1) Download the files
2) Copy the zip archive on the sdcard
3) Reboot the phone in TWRP-recovery
4) Search and install the zip
5) Install nougat 7.1.1 rom or restore an older backup made before update to OREO

Also, can I flash Stock Nougat (using fastboot) after this? And is there any chance of my device being hardbricked?

No! you cant flash a full nougat rom with fastboot.
Bootloader cant be downgraded!
for hardbricked phones you have first to boot it using the sdcard img.
then when you get bootloader working without sdcard, can use this tutorial

Oh ok. Thank You very much

I successfully rolled back to 7.1 using this method. No errors or issues. Everything worked flawlessly. A big thank you @vaserbanix

1. Oreo Battery drains considerably faster than 7.1. (But charges faster too)
2. Fingerprint unlocks slower than 7.1
3. Lags slightly when doing intensive tasks.

Now we need a maintainer for (a) Nougat rom(s)..

LOS14.1 has been updated:
NEW BUILD: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid...63190603848665
Change log: November 18 Security Update
NOTE: Like so many other users, I too updated my device with OREO and stuck with that. I haven't tried downgrading it because I don't want to end up with a hard-bricked device once again. Point here is the new build is not tested. So please take a TWRP backup before using this build. Don't forget to post me even if works fine.
Thanks,
KS

Thank you so much for your feedback, ShattrdChain! :good:
May I know what rom did you use for flashing with this method?
And do you know if bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to downgrade with this guide?

TWRP method doesn't work (bootloop), pls fix or delete.

Its works great.
You can also use fastboot to downgrade!

can the downgrade be done without the bootloader unlocked?

the methods don't work for xt1799-2!
