[Q] Is there anyone using a Chinese Mobile 802T?

and have a solution about how to root the device or have the version of Recovery?
I hate this modified device either, but this is the only one which support dual-SIM and a SD Card...

Umh, teorically you can unlock your phone with HTC_Dev and after flash a M7 recovery, you have to check this.
The problem that i think, is if you want to flash a custom kernel or an europe/american rom, this, because, you have two sim and (i think, but probably i'm right) this one have a differente kernel like our...
May be i'm wrong.

Tried but failed, I have unlocked my phone and flash a M7 Recovery but not work and now I'm using a phone without recovery.
Seems not only with M7, those modified phones all have different kernels. I also tried the 802W recovery but failed again. Maybe there won't be a solution?

With 802W recovery you can't boot into it?
Is TWRP or CWM?

you can see relative threads on gfan forum, there already is a permanent root solution
Unlocking the dual sim variant is the same as unlocking an international one.
May be much easier for me to reply in Chinese

You can use Chinese if allowed, of course.
Allright, now there is a root for 802T.

I have a 802T (China Mobile) and can't get it to recovery. Unlocking the bootloader was not an issue and flashing CWM recovery worked
also well, but when I try to boot in recovery mode it starts loading and then stops and boots regularly.
Ah, ok I guess I found the threads you were refering too, but since they're in Chinese I can't read a lot.
Is it possible to get instructions in English?
cheers

I am also on this step, unlocked no problem but has the same thing happen when I try to root it. My girlfriend can read Chinese but it's too hard for her to translate it to me because she isn't very tech savvy.

Htc one 802t rooting issue
Same problem. Got a china mobile Htc one 802t
Stuck with sad bloatware and no google play.
How do I root?

you can search for the solution here in One Q&A. I came across the same problem myself when flashing recovery.
I don't really recall how I got into recovery. Try this:
~Make sure quick boot mode of your phone is off
~Flash the recovery via fastboot command.
~after flashing the recovery, do
Code:
fastboot erase cache
in cmd
~reboot bootloader.
~Go to HBoot see if it shows "TAMPERED unlocked" on top of the screen. (if it does then you're to go).
~If HBoot shows no "TAMPERED", unplug your phone and do a factory reset in HBoot menu.
~after the phone boots up, shut it down
~Boot to HBoot by pressing power and Vol- , you should see "TAMPERED unlocked" (doesn't work for everyone)
~If not, see if this help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
read the replies carefully you should find the solution
Also, someone suggests that reboot bootloader a few more times you can eventually get "TAMPERED unlocked" and boot into recovery.
I DONT THINK ANY OF THE CUSTOM ROMS IN XDA IS WORKING ON 802T SO BE CAREFUL !

Hello
I just received my one double sim, hope I can put gapps, and use of Google account.
Did you try to install a market to install app?

802t root
Aha! Found this thread finally...
I've got the same problem, trying to root the 802t Chinese version. Has anyone found an easy to follow solution in English yet?

I'm in the same boat too. I have a 802d. I need another ROM.
So it seems that some owners flashed custom recovery.
For those who have problem to go in recovery, I've got the same on my HK version (which is M7_UL).
To solve this issue, I just keep flashing in fastboot (cmd line). The all-in-one tool was not working well for me. But at least it provides all what you need (adb and fastboot).
Very important: remove the "fastboot" option from the ROM Energy parameters. It's in the setting of Android, it's not the 'fastboot' we're talking about to flash. This cause problem to access recovery, even if the flash was ok. So make sure you find this option which is activated by default.
If someone can confirm he's done it. I will do on my wife's 802d and post step-by-step instructions.
Before flashing a ROM we need to have advices from dev. we have SD support, dual SIM, different base band...
We will loose some functions by flashing a UL ROM. We need to know which one first. We can also loose all the functions... I mean brick the phone!
There is no RUU yet available for 'non chinese reading people'. Take this into account before trying
Do someone has tried a backup/restore in recovery? Does it work?
I'm not a dev but I can understand questions or tests. I do not have the solution but will be very happy to get info from my phone for people who have the knowledge I'm missing

Hi, could you paste some links to this forum?
I'm used to read Chinese website with chrome translate.
it's good enough to find what I need I think.
But you mean at least that I can flash CWM on the 802d the same way I've done on my 801s (HK)?
It's safe and after I can boot the original ROM again? I know it will also reset the phone and delete all data.
I know it's exactly what you write but I prefer double check. My wife will kill me if I brick her new phone...
On the Chinese forum they are using Chinese custom ROMs with baidu apps, weibo... or something more 'google'?
For example in the 'stream' (the main page) of sense 5 she has only news of China in Chinese! On my phone (the same in fact), I have the french news... She complains

This is a Rom with permanent root that works on 802d/w/t , there's a special Recovery for Mainland China variants provided in the thread.
Here's the hidden download link of the rom in case you have trouble registering:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=581602&uk=3660368359
I read the instruction, the rom comes with removable bloatware of Chinese carrier and promotion apps from the Rom builder. And aroma has been removed in order to solve the freezing problem.
as for the news*sources, I don't know. Some said they flashed the rom and get foreign sources, some said they get local sources with the very rom.
Still, I must WARN you I'm NOT a Chinese variant user and have no experience on rooting or flashing roms on one. It's your own risk.
Read the instruction carefully!!

Rooted vanilla ROM
wow, this sounds promising! Thank you for that~~
The next question I have is, if I don't want a custom rom, I just want to use the original rom but rooted, can I still just install the regular superuser.zip once i've installed this custom recovery?
Wouldn't that work?

Ok, we can thanks 人云奕云
I've downloaded the recovery and the custom ROM. he's right, easy to translate a forum but going through registration...
I've seen that they are also following xda as a lot here are using imported versions. I will not be surprized to find a port from UL version soon.
When I check the apps in the ROM zip, i can see many google apps, sounds good.
Do not be too happy for now. Nothing says that the ROM is what we expect. But at least it will root our phone and open it a little bit.
I will give it a try when I can get my wife's phone.
Recovery and boot (+required adb and fastboot) can be downloaded from here:
XXXpan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=581597&uk=3660368359#dir
(remove XXX and paste the link)
Be carefull you need to choose the good file. For recovery it's easy (d/t/w), for boot you need to use google translate:
When you download the files you may not be able to see chinese characters.
nb: I don't understand why there is a boot.img to flash. Be carefull for now.
For me: the order is the same as on the site. So download accordingly.
1st: 移动版一键刷入 = china mobile (802t)
2nd: 联通版一键刷入 = china unicom (802w)
3rd: 电信版一键刷入 = china telecom (802d)

For me yes.
In the zip of the ROM I have there is Superuser.apk in system apps folder.
I imagine you can try (Nandroid backup first!).
If the zip just put the apk in system/app it can work. But I have no idea if the paths/partition for this folder are the same between the models, I'm not a dev at all.
On the Chinese forum they refer to this thread as support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
Follow it to unlock via HTCdev but flash the specific recovery files (and boot?), not the one on xda.

Yes, you can find the Play Store in baidu apps.
But on my phone it just open then close directly. Maybe you need to install additional things. The worst for me is the "blink feed" only for China and only in Chinese, you can go around the lack of Play store by downloading apks directly.
Even the web Play Store does not work. My one is recognized as a 'samsung something' and when I click on Install, nothing happens. But I'm in China, so maybe out of mainland it's different (no great firewall).
try and report please.
you can also try to unlock the phone and flash the Gapps.

I can confirm that superuser installs and works perfectly (so far!) on the 802t. The modified CWM recovery from the chinese forum works great, and allows us to get into recovery mode.
Phone is rooted finally,
Tested with Titanium Backup~~
Thanks everyone! :good:

That's good news!
I just finished to change the apps in the Chinese custom ROM (I used the one from mike1986's ROM).
I will test it tonight.

Ok, that's straight forward:
0/ download the required tools: use All-in-One tool in the sticky of HTC One section at xda.
BE CAREFULL: do not use the recovery provided, it's just to avoid downloading the Android SDK!
1/ unlock your phone using HTCdev website.
You need to register in order to get your unlock file.
Unlock your phone with fastboot. Just follow HTCDev instruction.
2/ install the recovery you find on the Chinese website.
BE CAREFULL: One recovery per type (802d/t/w)
I've done:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (rename the one you download accordingly)
fastboot erase cache
Switch off/on the phone.
3/ download the ROM from Chinese website.
This ROM is from XiaoXiang8002. I didn't ask permission to put his ROM here. I can't communicate in Chinese. Anyway, thanks to him!
Before flashing I changed some apk I took in mike1986's ROM (xda dev section for dwnld)
nb: on first attempt I swapped too much apps... com.android.phone keeps FC.
4/ push the ROM on the internal storage (not external SD)
5/ boot in recovery (it's touch version), and flash the ROM:
flash
factory reset
wipe cache
reboot
enjoy...

Ok, 2nd attempt was good. But I don't have the "blink feed" I want.
Anyone knows how I can change this? Which apk manage it?
For the rest, I have google account, flickr... but no Play Store, only HTC. Let's flash Gapps... does not work.
Same question with Play Store. Which apk? no more vending.apk in system apps...

It was actually risky to try this root method for my aunt's A3500 HV as I had just bought it for her on 24 Sep 2014.
Originally I bought the tablet with android 4.2.2 and it was get rooted by RootGenius__lenovohome v 1.9.6. When I found this thread, I updated the tablet into FW version A3500hv_a442_01_32_140805 (android 4.4.2) by flashing tool. When it was successful updated to this version, I was noticed via OTA a newer version, FW A3500-HV_A442_01_35_140911 immediately after the first boot. I went ahead with downloading and updating the newer version by OTA. I felt it was so much better with the latest version with rapid lock GPS, better screen display quality and better sound quality as well.
As I was afraid to get brick the tablet in this thread, I tried to root the tablet again with RootGenius__lenovohome v 1.9.6 again but no lucky. As the result I decided to give me a chance to try the root method in this thread for A3500 HV with my own risk as I thought it can be unbrick by re-flashing a FW. Luckily it was rooted successfully with the instruction in this thread. It was a magic. :good::good::good:
There you go some screenshots.

Thanks for the reply well I new that they had put some extra security in the new kitkat version so that you can not root but when you use the recovery then you are installing the su file when android OS is is off so the security can't catch you
All right one last question have you tried making a nandroid backup and restoring it up until now if so and successfully please say so
Also if you do not know what a nandroid backup is it is just a backup of an entire operating system and can be used if the system gets bricked and it is totally harmless all it takes is 5 min since you had done the dangerous part and if that works can you check out nandroid restore because if the backup worked in success then there is a 97% chance that clockworkmod restore works o and there won't be any loss of data because you are doing a restore of all the data you backed up seconds ago
If there is a single error message after even after the backup and restore is finished please report it
The backup is totally harmless so if you can just check that I and all the HV version around the world would be very great full thanks in advance.......:fingers-crossed:

Actually I'm pretty sure that KK FW of A3500H does work on A3500HV then I think that the root method will work on A3500HV either. The only different thing between A3500H and A3500HV is call function, I think so.
I did try a Nandroid backup on FW 4.2.2 actually by using the recovery in this thread before upgrading to KK FW. It took about 10 minutes less for the backup procedure to be done without any error and it was written on CMW/BACKUP folder on external SD card (16GB was used). I noticed that the backup steps were similar to any Nandroid backup on CWM recovery: backup boot, recovery, system then data... later generating MD5 checksum. I haven't tried to restore this backup as the update KK FW works really great.
I also tried to flash zip FW (the latest one with build number ​ A3500-HV_A442_01_35_140911) which was found on this link https://yadi.sk/d/KY44k2XDba5Mw from the Russian Lenovo Forum when the tablet was on FW 4.2.2. However, it was not successfull as the recovery said that there was nothing found on the zip to flash. I had no idea about it. Maybe we cannot upgrade to KK by this way when on JB FW or this CWM recovery (which is customized for A3500) can't be used to flash rom. Then I have to upgrade it by flashing tool and FW found on this link: http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/7809-прошивка-lenovo-a7-a3500hv-a442-01-32-140805-row-call/
Link to the forum: http://lenovo-forums.ru/forum/289-прошивки-lenovo-a7-a3500/
The tablet is not with me now as I just bought it for my aunt so I don't have a chance to try Nandorid backup when it is on KK FW. If there is a chance to do so, I will report it shortly.
I think it would be great if we could have flashable custom rom for Lenovo A3500HV via offical custom recovery.
Good luck!
Cheers,

Well spotted you flashed it? If so via twrp with full wipe?
What about GAPPS is it 64bit version?
Are we downloading for LEO?
Jeez to many questions, just think someone might mess up.
I'll test and report back.

So I downloaded the EU rom, make sure you download for Leo, installed via TWRP with full wipe as per instructions. To be honest if your from uk no point its still english US not UK, For everyone else yea go for it no problems and Playstore included.

Is there no improvements from 6.5.1.0 version?
Also how do I flash twrp on my phone? Do I need root?
Thanks

Here you go bro :
http://en.miui.com/thread-118114-1-1.html

I just flashed this rom and i can confirm that it works well here in the uk on the ee 4g network no problems for me and very happy with this phone

Are there any instructions on how to install it?
I found TWRP, but need root to install it which i don't have.

Just boot to TWRP first via fasboot by using fastboot boot twrp.img command,
Then flash supersu,
After u got root access, install flashify and flash twrp

Is French included in this ROM? Probably not...
Will my apps be in French anyway or will it go like the UI?

Hi - I tried installing the most recent stable version for the Note Pro (xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V6.6.3.0.LXHCNCF_v6-5.0) and it was completely unusable. Lots of system processes failing etc. Has everyone else had this experience or am I doing something wrong? I installed initially through TWRP, then also tried through MiRecovery.
Just got the phone and really liking it, but very keen to get it working more like a UK phone! Great to see there's people working on this!!!

It works fine for me in UK, full wipe in TWRP? You said first with TWRP and then Mi, did you reflash original recovery. I always find that after flashing a new rom I have to reflash GAPPS or I get the problems you describe.

I had been unsure if the 'Wipe All' would also scrub the ROM zip file, so did not do this first time.
This time I did wipe everything, which also resulted in the ROM zip file being deleted.
Managed to sideload it and everything is now working! Many thanks for the suggestion. And for future, should I be wiping everything, or is there a way to avoid the sideload?
Thanks

Like I said just reflash google apps no need for full wipe, use TWRP, keep a copy of GAPPS on your phone along with the rom so wiping won't be a problem should you need too.

Full TWRP backup le s3 x522

Hey guys, I was playing around with the leeco s3 and I think I over flashed something or other. It's not exactly working right. Can someone please upload a complete btwrp backup of their le s3 x522 on 18s, 19s or 20s?
Thanks in advance!

I think you need to start reading some threads around here, once you have installed the TWRP for the S3, you cannot get OTA to work again and their are other numerous issues too, as of yet nobody can fully restore back to stock. So start reading.
Also a few people here do have flashable firmware that might help but it will never be a full stock recovery unless something is fixed.

Thanks, Ive seen this post as well, it is 19s but is the boot partition (i think) and data partition, no recovery or system partition.
I was curious if anyone had a complete backup of working system, recovery, boot, data partitions for restoring?
Also I get this odd error 7 when trying to restore it, anyone know what is going on?

it will not give you an error, but make sure you are using the chinese twrp
the error is what you are getting trying to flash the OTA thru twrp...dont worry about it as the OTA's will not install

Official twrp work too... Just ota fuxed

Hey, do you know where I could find the Chinese TWRP that allows me to flash the original stock EUI rom? I flashed LineageOS but the camera is not perfect, so I wish to go back to EUI but I cannot figure out how to install it without seeing errors such as "this package is for "le_s2_na" devices. Your device is a "s2"." Could you point me in the right direction? Maybe a download link for the Chinese TWRP that people claim works? Thanks!

You need to unzip the firmware file, remove top 2 lines from META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and zip it again, it will remove the platform check. However device still does not boot, I tried to install both 20S and 21S multiple times. My guess is we need the original recovery partition image for X522 and I could not find it anywhere.

I resolved it. Took 2 days and dozens of flashes. As far as I can tell the key was to wipe everything - system, cache, data, internal storage, then reboot into bootloader again and into Chinese TWRP.
So the process would be:
1. power off the phone. Hold VolumeDown button and power on. It loads into bootloader.
2. fastboot oem unlock-go
3. fastboot boot twrp.img.
4. In TWRP wipe EVERYTHING
5. In TWRP reboot -> bootloader.
6. repeat 2-3.
7. On PC: adb push S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip /sdcard
8. In TWRP click right button on the bottom and select English. Click "Do not allow modifications." Install the zip file you just uploaded.
9. Reboot.

Hmm I might try that later, but what would I do if I get the classical error ("this package is for "le_s2_na" devices")? Will that error not show up if I follow your method?

[Guide] How to Flash Encrypted ROMs on a Decrypted Device (Without Losing Data)

Most custom ROMs for the OnePlus 5 are now supporting encrypted devices only. However, some users choose to keep their device in a decrypted state for MultiROM support and for other reasons. If you follow the steps below, you can flash any encrypted ROM on your decrypted device (without losing data) and your device will remain decrypted! I found this information in one of the many threads I've read (I don't remember which one) and thought I'd post it here to help others and for easy reference. Enjoy!
Follow These Steps:
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Wipe caches, data, and system partitions
3. Flash encrypted ROM
4. Flash GApps
5. Flash Magisk
6. Flash no-verity-op5.zip (not created by me)
7. Reboot
8. Enjoy!
If you closely follow the instructions above, you can enjoy any ROM on your decrypted OnePlus 5 and have the best of both worlds! :highfive:
Note 1: If device gets stuck at OnePlus boot animation after following all of the steps above, hold the power button for 10 seconds to turn off device. Power the device back on and it will boot successfully into the ROM.
Note 2: Some ROMs are not compatible with MultiROM without the inclusion of additional commits by ROM developer.

After wipes, its Flash ROM.. Flash optional Kernel.. Flash Gapps.. Flash No-verity.. Flash optional root (magisk or SuperSU).. Flash optional Viper4Arise?

Is this confirmed working? Has anyone actually tried the process and confirmed that any data on the phone's internal storage is there?

I've found that flashing SuperSU (instead of Magisk) on encrypted ROMs often ends in a bootloop on my decrypted device. Flashing Magisk seems to be a requirement.

Not working for me. Tried with AICP release from 9/11. Wiped caches, system, data. Flashed rom. flashed gapps (tried stock/full/micro). Flashed magisk (also tried without). -> Bootloop
//edit
sorry i think i misunderstood the post. i thought i can flash decrypted roms on encrypted device xD is that possible too?

No, I believe your device must be decrypted to flash decrypted ROMs.

The original zip was modified for making FBE optional by @snowwolf725. Click here to visit his original thread.

I have a quick question. I just unlocked the Bootloader on my Plus 5 and installed TWRP 3.1.1-1 and Magisk 14.0 on it. The firmware is 4.5.0 as I didn't let it update at all and did all this to the device upon first bootup. I did not decrypt.
I've tried installing latest RR release (final for N cheeseburger) and the install stops with errors. I tried a different rom in the same Android version (7.1.2) and get same results. MD5 checks out on both downloads.
Do I have to flash the latest OnePlus 5 update (full OTA 4.5.10) before flashing a 7.1.2 rom? And should I decrypt my device for easier flashing?
If no one answers, I completely understand and will search some more but this seems to be a cloudy subject that gets many different answers and I thought I would post it here. Thank you all in advance.

Yes.. U need to flash the latest firmware and then flash roms.. There's a thread for firmware.. Flash the whole zip would again give you stock recovery and you have to re do the fastboot stuff so makes no sense..

In addition to what is stated here, if you flash Magisk immediately after flashing the full firmware zip (no rebooting between steps), TWRP won't get replaced with the stock recovery. This is a great time saver!

I just wanted to thank you for this thread. All of the information you provided helped me immensely. I was struggling with this device and flashing roms at first but one I unencrypted it, with your guide, everything worked great. I was going to leave it encrypted for easier flashing since most all the roms for this device are encrypted only. But I was having more issues than ever. And many, of the posts in here have also answered quite a few questions I had. This should be a pinned tread.
Anyways thank you again. Your thread is a must read for anyone with an Opo5.
