Hello Everybody!!
Recently when going through the xda forums for the devices Karbonn Titanium S1, Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0, K-Touch Hornet u86 kiss , I noticed that a lot of people have questions regarding Stock rom, Recovery rooting and Solutions for Brick.However most of the posts have been left unanswered or died for some reason.
Hence I decided to open a thread that can be used to solve general problems and issues regarding the Device.
NOTE:- Archos 45 Platinum too has similar device specifications.The same CWM version worked for @best98 who is using an Archos 45 Platinum.
Tip:Using CWM touch recovery
When using the CWM Touch recovery you may notice that it is not really working properly and that touch is not doing anything. The fact is the touch is being registered and that the touch method is different than normal android because of limited drivers in recovery.
The working
Use one finger touch to scroll
Use two finger touch to select item
Installing a Recovery Menu
Using PC
1) Install the Mobile Drivers.
2) Download Minimal ADB And fastboot [Windows users] Linux and Mac users might have to download the whole Android sdk as of now.
3) Download the recovery you want from the attachments below.
4) Rename them to recovery.img after extracting and copy it to a folder of know location.
5) Boot your device into fastboot mode.i.e Power on your mobile by pressing and holding Power button and vol+ Key.until you see A green screen.
6) Connect your device to the PC and open Minimal ADB and fastboot
7) Run the command " fastboot flash recovery C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\RECOVERY.IMG".
Without the quotes replace C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\ with the location where you extracted recovery.img.
8) Wait untill it completes and VOILA new recovery installed.
Note: In case you want to preserve your stock recovery, run the command "fastboot boot C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\RECOVERY.IMG"
Without the quotes replace C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\ with the location where you extracted recovery.img.
Using Mobile
Simple Method.
Just install the TACK Manager from here and install the recovery .Enjoy .
Not so simple method
Download the flashable recoveries from Below and flash it through CWM Or TWRP [Yes, you need custom recovery for this to flash]

Rooting Your Device
Method 1: Through CWM/TWRP
1) Download the SuperSU package provided below.
2) Copy it to the root of your SDCard
3) Select Install zip from SDCard
Method 2:Through Framaroot
Personally I Did not get any success by this method.But lot of users reported it to to work by using the Gandalf exploit.
Also some versions of framaroot work better on some devices as compared to others.So maybe just have to check which version works for our Mobile.
1) Download and install Framaroot.apk
2) On the exploits list select Gandalf
3) It'll probably crash the first time and apparently work the second time you launch it.
As I Am not sure which version of framaroot works for this mobile hence no upload

Flashing Roms and Fix Soft brick
1) Copy Rom to SDCard
2) Boot into Recovery by Powering on while holding power and vol+ Button.Initially you'll see a green screen...Keep holding untill the screen turns red.
3) Goto Mounts and storage and format /Cache and /Data. Format /SYSTEM if installing new rom.
4) Goto Advanced and format Dalvik Cache
5) Select Apply Zip from SD Card
6) Select zip file of rom to install and wait.
7) Reboot and voila.
Note:This is assuming you are using CWMR
Note: Do not format /SYS_BOOT Partition.You'll end up bricking your device and then will not be able to boot into Fastboot mode.
If this happens by mistake.Follow the next Guide.

In case you end up Formatting /SYS_BOOT Partition then you'll most likely end up in this.There might be few other cases when this can happen but none that i am aware of.
If you Have a Linux Desktop
If you have access to Linux PC then connect your mobile to it and mount the partition which is around 50 MB. Download the Images.zip from below.unzip the file and copy the whole folder to the 50 MB partition.
Your File structure should look something like this
-\50MBPartition
-\image
-\AMSS.MBN
-\AMSSHD.MBN

Hi,
Great to read that.. at least after crawling the web and finding that Karbon S5 is equivalent to Archos 50 Platinum.. I find from the specs that this Karbonn S1 is the same as the Archos 45 Platinum that I own.
Specs are : here for the Archos 45..

Its not necessary to flash or reset the soft brick using any OS,
U can do it by CWM also.
1]For softbrick u can just factory reset and wipe cache
2] for flashing u can mount and remount sdcard and copy the .zip file to it and choose install zip from sdcard

I don't think restoring nandroid data will work... Because....as u can see there are two two folders inside root/data/.......by restoring data from recovery will first wipes current root/data content and writes content from backup....so no dual-system!!! Hope you understand....tell me whether u have installed dual system? If so once see inside root/data /....u will get it!

Great, Thanks for info, will try after my exams, one again Thank You Very Much.
@as9333
i guess we can switch between system 1 & 2 from recovery itself.. just flash the zip and explore through its aroma installer and see theres that option to switch...

and apps will be installed separately
Maybe some mistakes in step 2. The dev recommended unmount system, data and cache before installed Dual-System (doesn't matter really). Some user may need install it twice to success for unknown factors. And as I know on earlier versions, after you installed Dual-System, both partitions are empty. You need to flash a rom to system 1. But I haven't try v1.3 yet so I don't know if anything changed.
The tutorial seems so long but it's very reasonable to proceed.
1. (unnecessary for the 1st time) recover your phone's status - flash sysrec.zip
2. install the dual-boot system - flash into aroma and choose the option
3. flash a rom to current (1st) system - flash it in recovery
4. (optional but recommended) install a switcher in the rom - install it in the aroma, caution the options, don't choose the wrong system
5. switch to system2 - switch directly in the aroma, or [ boot your phone to use the switcher app (after that plz press vol+ to enter recovery because system2 is empty now)]
6. flash another rom to current (2nd) system - just flash it in recovery, it will be in system2
7. (optional but recommended) install a switcher in the rom - install it in the aroma, caution the options, don't choose the wrong system
now you have dual system installed.
For changing between systems, use the switcher (if installed) or change in the aroma installer.
For replacing a rom, switch to the rom you unwanted, and reboot to recovery and flash the new one.
For clear data, don't use recovery,it will clear both. Use the aroma (change to the system you want to clear data and choose clear current).
For miui user, special for miui is actually for miui 6 because /system/app can't get root permission in miui 6.
For uninstall, do it in aroma and then flash sysrec.zip

Hallo Friend!
I am about to test your guide. I think it is most decent among other guides on the net...
Could you please just tell me if it's gonna work on:
Android 6.0.1 MMB29M
MIUI 8.2.1.0 (MBCMIDL) Stable
kernel 3.10.84-perf-gfe86e7b
bootloader UNLOCKED
Is superSU by default included in the TWRP you gave? No need to download it additionally from somewhere?
What about warning about "dm-verity" on official TWRP website?
This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Should this be any concern that the phone will not boot up again? Should this be disabled first?
Is it better to use the TWRP version you provided (3.0.3.0? not listed on official TWRP website? why?) or the lastest 3.1.0.0?

Ok just two questions then, because I'm not sure what you can't understand. Please explain.
1) What Android, MIUI and kernel did you root?
2) Do you have SuperSu.zip in TWRP 3.0.3 by default? You didn't say anything in your guide about downloading it and from where + what version.

This twrp. Img it's for all the versions but only for mi max. Not the prime . This twrp doesn't contain superSU. If I remember correctly. But if on the TWRP contain the super su. Don't say yes. Just flash it like I saying on the guide. Maybe they upload a newest version. You can use the new. I think I put the official website . I will check it.
Ok thanks for the answer. Please check from where I download SuperSu - which version would be best.
Please tell me your Android, kernel and MIUI version that you rooted.

Waiting to tell me if everything went fine with the installation and the flashing
Hey, tried following Your guide to install a new rom last night. Great guide for noobs like me, but it may be worth renaming the thread to something like "How to flash whatever makes You happy on to Your Mi Max". These instructions seem to work fine regardless of what's being flashed. Great job, mate!
So I finally tried it and it was successful for me as well! But I used the latest version of TWRP (3.1.0) and SuperSu (2.79-20161205). Please add a point in your tutorial to upload SuperSU.zip to the phone first, because out of emotion, I forgot... So I flashed TWRP, booted it and then... ups... no SuperSu So I wanted to reboot the phone to upload SuperSU but since only SuperSU patches dm-verity (the thing I was afraid of the most - I told you before), my phone got into boot-loop and didn't want to start. So I just uploaded SuperSU to a memory card, entered Fastboot Mode again with key-combination, plugged the cable, typed "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and was again in TWRP to flash SuperSu from my memory card.... ufff.
So I would reedit it a bit:
0. Copy SuperSU.zip to the phone/memory card!
1. Go to Settings-About phone-Find the MIUI VERSION, and tap on it for 5-10 times.
2. Go back to settings, sellect adittional settings. click on Developer options, and select enable
3. Find the option USB Debugging and enable it.
4. Download the TWRP recovery from the link
5. rename the file to 'recovery.img'
6. Move the image to the same file where the ADB was installed ( it should be on Computer-> C: -> Adb )
7. Open the adb folder
8. Press and hold the shift key and right click in the folder
9. click on the option "Open command window here"
10. Boot your device on fastboot mode by turning it off, pressing Power and the Volume Down buttons together, and then connect it with your computer
11. First type this command "fastboot devices" to check if your device is into fastboot mode
12. Enter the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
13. Enter the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" - the phone will get disconnected from your PC automatically
14. Your phone is now in TWRP recovery mode (it takes about 30-60 seconds before FastBoot screen switches into TWRP - wait patiently)
15. select Install Zip and click on 'SuperSu.zip'
16. corfirm the flash
17. reboot your device
18. DONT PANIC IF YOU DEVICE WONT TURN ON. Sometimes need to wait 10-20 secs.
Hey, I just got connected with WiFi and new MIUI 8.2.3.0 MBCMIDL wants to be installed, although the phone is rooted with bootloader unlocked. Is it safe to apply the update? Is it goona remove root so that I have to go over the process again?
So I tried the update. First time it said it failed, second time it downloaded the whole ROM after which it rebooted device and TWRP started doing "something" - I don't know what. After that the phone didn't want to boot, and what's even better didn't want to run recovery (TWRP), instead it went into fastboot. What I had to do was to use MiPhoneDrivers from this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594 (including MiFlash 2015, because 2016 version didn't want to work properly on my PC) and follow the instruction from official MIUI website to flash from scratch the new ROM MIUI 8.2.3.0 which I did. After that my phone was alive again. I installed TWRP and rooted the phone again. Now I've got MIUI 8.2.30 rooted. :] End of the story so far. My settings left untouched - icons, wallpaper etc. So that would be the way to update MIUI if they prepare a new one.
Is there anyway to root the phone without connecting it to pc?

Thanks for saving me the trouble.
Can someone help with a better method of applying updates?
Will downloading the zip (1.4GB approx) and flashing via TWRP help?
Hello hello,
this will be my "live" thread of bringing AICP 13.1 to my xperia z1c, I found some Guide's that I will follow and I will share with you all the links and knowledge I gained as a newbie that I used to understand and fix my problems on the way.
Maybe this will help you, too.
Main Tutorial: LINK
Target of all this: LINK
My Device:
Sony XPERIA Z1C, 14.6.A.1.236 , Lollipop 5.1.1
My best hint: read carefully, take your time to understand what you're trying to do and do your own research!
Hopefully you will get a aicp custom rom out of it.
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________
General information: Android 5.1.1 cannot be rooted due to its high security standards, therefore we will downgrade to a lower security stock rom and create root access there. Root access will be needed as well as an unlocked bootloader to install real recovery (TWRP) which is the tool to flash custom roms like aicp. But the aicp custom rom will not have a good working camera, don't ask me why, but the camera seems to be a really difficult thing from the point of developer's view, let's accept this. Aside of that disadvantage, this custom rom is a very nice software and it makes my z1c kind of new. I don't use my camera anyway often at all.
During all this flashing thing I had a very big ??? while implementing real recovery. I was able to flash the .236.ftf but not the openbootloader.ftf as described in section 5 in the main tutorial. The result was twrp boot failed.
Error description:
flash .236.ftf works
flash openbootloader fails
flash twrp works
boot twrp fails
boot stock rom works
My solution:
I restarted from scratch and finally with the kind of messed up secquenceI got it:
flash .236.ftf works
flash openbootloader fails
flash twrp works
boot twrp fails
flash openbootloader works
flash twrp works
boot twrp works
UPDATE 06.12.2018 as a solution for REAL RECOVERY with working camera <<< RECOMMENDED
0. boot into rom works
1. flash openbootloader works
2. boot into rom works
3. flash .236.ftf works
4. boot into rom & check camera works
3. flash twrp ( business as usal ) works
4. boot twrp ( First boot is damn important, don't miss it! Press Vol- & Power, wait for vibration, release Power & keep Vol- until twrp boots up ) works
5. full wipe, flash aicp-rom, flash gapps, flash magisk-root, boot system works
6. enjoy Oreo 8.1 & camera check !!! works !!!
This routine worked straight forward for me where I started from scratch with my second device.
Flashing aicp was pretty easy, good to know for flashing the rom was full wipe = advanced wipe and select everything except of micro sd
To complete my aicp 13.1 Oreo 8.1 device the camera problem has to be fixed ( Saving the taken picture fails, display goes into freeze, no chance to solve this with camera mods, camera apps )
But @lm089 gave me the right hint, and finally this was my solution! Thanks again @lm089!!
Have fun with your new >> SONY XPERIA Z1 COMPACT <<
How to update TWRP
1. Turn Off your device
2. Start device in fastboot mode by connecting via usb cable to your pc and press Vol- until blue led tuns on
3. use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img to flash it
4. boot twrp ( This first boot is damn important, don't miss it! Press Vol- & Power, wait for vibration, release Power & keep Vol- until twrp boots up ) works
How to update to aicp 14.0 pie 9.0
starting with the running and latest aicp 13.1 oreo 8.1 rom above I just followed the Instructions here. As a specialty I had to install the Magisk Manager App manually into the rom to get root. Downloading supersu.apk from www.supersuroot.org works fine as well.
Your fastboot connection doesnt work for some reason though u had this workin fine in the past? maybe u had a windows update. install your drivers again.

THANKS A LOT TO @colaigor for his [BEGINNERS GUIDE]
Ok. So i dont have much time now but i can give some short directions.
1. Get unlock codes from sony for bootloader unlock
2. Instal adb and fastboot at your system(PC)
3. Instal z1c drivers
4. Instal flashtool
5. Unlock bootloader,root,flash recovery(search forum for "real recovery" ),flash root solution
6. Flash wanted rom,gaps
P.P. On second thought u dont need flashtool. All can be done with adb and fastboot commands from terminal
There is one thing I don't understand:
what is the difference between FLASHING REAL RECOVERY and FLASHING FAKE RECOVERY?
What I read is, that in both cases I get TWRP but on different partitions (real = Recovery Partition, fake = Boot partition) but do I need both or do I choose just on of them?

Real recovery have its own partition(after that update to bootloader). Custom recovery dont have that and its stored somewhere else(FOTA,onetime boot image , etc). Choose real recovery. New stuff works good with it.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
TWRP from step 5.1 of the GUIDE
TWRP 3.0.2
My formerly flashed .236.ftf rom works fine, but I cant start TWRP the device goes directly to my rom

Thats where I'm stuck right now, any ideas how to fix?
okay got it, basically i do not know what the problem is but:
after BLU
flash .236 :good:
flash openbootloader
flash twrp :good:
--> failed to install openbootloader and probably thus twrp failed
solution: I skipped to flash .236 as recommended by the author of the GUIDE (step 5.2)
flash open bootloader :good:
flash twrp :good:
--> failed to start twrp, though it was installed successfully
flash .236 :good:
flash openbootloader (failed again, but it's already on the device and I guess I could have skipped this here)
flash twrp :good:
first boot of twrp is successful :good:
And basically the author explained it in his text, FIRST INSTALL OPEN BOOTLOADER BEFORE WRITING STH TO RECOVERY PARTITION
I think you should use Aicp 14 pie instead of 13.1 Oreo
I feel Aicp 14 PIE is very stable and flash port camera stock this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/port-stock-camera-nougat-roms- t3628791
Nice thread, thank you! Wish I had that when I started rooting and flashing
@lm089 Haha it's quite some work to get into it, right? I just saw that we are running on the same device & custom rom, how did you solve the issue with the not working camera? I'm still reading stuff about some mod, but I'm curious and open for tested solutions on z1c

Had this situation twice with 2 different oreo ROMs. Both times I solved it following a rather strange sounding suggestion I found on the AICP 13.1 discussion thread. The basic idea is to go back to a stock Sony ROM. Boot into it and make sure the camera is working which for me was the case both times. Then - if necessary - re-root your phone (on first occasion I flashed a pre-rooted .236 version but that caused some extra trouble so next time I decided to flash an unrooted version). And from then on it's the standard way as you described it in your OP.
Good luck!
Okay, thanks a lot for your hint! Unfortunately the camera mod didn't fix the problem, my android-task for this evening is defined:
AICP 13.1 Oreo 8.1 on z1c, root, ulb, magisk 17.1
1. backup my system (done)
2.0 flash stock rom lollipop 5.1.1 (14.6.A.1.236.ftf) with flashtool via usb (done),booting the os for the first time takes quite long (~10m), check camera in the os (done)
interesting fact: recovery is deleted by flashing the rom via flashtool - I thought I can go the lazy way and skip the step of installing twrp again into recovery
2.1 okay, let's do it: install twrp (done) and boot into twrp, NOT into ROM!! (done) (Vol- & Power, wait for vibration & release Power but keep Vol- until TWRP starts up)
3. flash aicp 13.1 following this (full wipe as an advanced wipe: select all EXCLUDING THE SD STORAGE)
Again here, I recognized the first boot of the rom takes quite longer.
4. check camera (done)
!!!! IT WORKS !!!!
(I did it two times)
alright, lets start flashing my second device - now I know how to do it
Thanks guys!!

No, updater is booting into recovery, doing a nandroid backup and wiping caches (because I told it to), then flashing and finally rebooting into system. All by itself :good:
I remember having trouble with that in the past though. Do you by any chance have an SD card formatted as adoptable storage?

ok, that's something different; adoptable storage means that your SD or part of it is setup to extend internal storage. If you can access all of your SD from TWRP then it is indeed formatted a external storage.

How to flash miui14 Chinese dev recovery rom in mipad 5
?
1. You download the CN Stable dev build from here
2. A. It's a recovery ROM zip, so you can only directly flash it in MIUI Updater, or MIUI Stock Recovery, if you are already on the same branch (CN Stable dev)
2. B. otherwise (you are on a different ROM variant, like Global or Stable non-dev) you have to unlock your tablet and then flash the recovery ROM zip via custom recovery (TWRP) or flash a fastboot ROM (which is not the same as the zip above) and flash it via MiFlash Tool, or adb from a computer.

B. otherwise (you are on a different ROM variant, like Global or Stable non-dev) you have to unlock your tablet and then flash the recovery ROM zip via custom recovery (TWRP) or flash a fastboot ROM (which is not the same as the zip above) and flash it via MiFlash Tool, or adb from a computeram i

WARNING: If you don't know how this stuff works, I recommend not to do it. This will install CN Stable Dev ROM, only English and Chinese will be available. Mi Flash gives an error but the Tablet reboots and MIUI 14 CN will be properly flashed without losing user-data. But to be sure, make a backup and learn how to fix a soft-bricked device BEFORE you start. If you soft-brick, don't ask questions here but google and learn through youtube tutorials.
unlock your device. Apply here
download the latest MIUI 14 chinese stable dev fastboot tgz file
extract the tgz with winRAR or 7zip into a folder
download and extract Mi Flash Tool into another folder
run XiaoMiFlash.exe inside the extracted Mi Flash Tool folder
Install the drivers when asked inside the Mi Flash Tool, if it gives an error then install the driver manually
Turn off your Mi Tab 5, then reboot it by pressing POWER + VOLUME UP until the Fastboot screen appears
Connect your Mi Tab 5 to your computer via USB.
Click the "refresh" button in Mi Flash Tool. In the table below the "select" button a new row should appear with an id and device. If not you have a USB driver problem, cable problem, your tablet is not in fastboot mode or other issue. Use google to fix your problem or watch a youtube video to learn how to do it.
in Mi Flash Tool click the "select" button and navigate to the folder where you extracted the tgz file, click OK. (Make sure you navigate and select the "nabu_images_V14.0.22.12.21.DEV_13.0" folder, and not the one inside it called "images")
At the bottom of Mi Flash Tool select "Save user data"and in the drop down next to it select "Flash all except storage"
Click the "flash" button in Mi Flash Tool and wait until it's done.
