[Q] Upgrading to Android 4.3 (N7100XXUEML6)

Hi everyone... I tried looking for the answer to my question but didn't find any thread that covered the information for latest firmware (Samsung introduces something new everytime!).
So, I was using Pheonix ROM v17 with the MJ5 Bootloader, and then installed Android Revolution HD 20.1 (I don't know which BL I'm now using)!
I never flashed a stock rom using odin or through some other source below.
Now I want to flash the stock rooted and deodexed firmware. The OP doesn't tell anything specifically about a bootloader. We have to flash the rom through the recovery.
My question is, that if I install that rom via recovery, will my bootloader change? Will there be any recovery issues? Will I be able to re-flash other roms like the ARHD? Please tell me, because I am experiencing some serious issues with the battery and I hope that a clean stock install would fix this...
Any help would be highly appreciated!

Bootloader won't change irrespective of what which ROM you flash,i am using philz touch recovery ever since i was on 4.1.2 and now i am running 4.4.2 probam version and been on mj5 bootloader ever since i made the jump from 4.1.2

Recovery CAN NOT flash bootloader, so whatever you flash from recovery be assured that your bootloader will stay the same. The only way to flash bootloader is through ODIN or regular KIES/OTA update....

Thank you so much for the reply. I can finally flash in peace!

@dalanik but what if an official firmware update is released...? For e.g. If I'm prompted to install the NA1 Firmware, will my bootloader still get updated?

If you are on STOCK, then yes, that would be through OTA or via KIES. But as I said - you would have to be STOCK in order to receive update.

So, i just flashed this rom and im getting this error with the supersu...

download this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed relock bootloader and run this as administrator update your phone by official way from phone softwrae update to latest JB and then unlock again your bootloader and install custom rom and for CM11 you need latest TWRP 2.7 or latest Philz or latest CWM 2.6 I think.
your HBOOT is to LOW you need at least 1.39 or higher for this roms

All roms work with philz 6 but if you want latest AOSP based rom like CM11 or other you need the latest Philz to not geting any error. And the latest work with the Sense based roms to. You know the rules here I can't recomend ROM try them all and take decision lastest AOSP is JB4.4.4 other sense is 4.2.2 it is your decision and don't forget to make nandroid backup before install new rom

Thanks for all your help Thant, managed to get Beanstalk up and running with a backup
Cheers for your patience

Just Arrived.. .white color in my sample!
first challenge was to create TWRP .. successfull!
http://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-2-8-7-3-material-play-megthebest/
Archive contain Boot Unlocked and TWRP Material Play ported by me!
Tested successfully with V06 January 2016 rom.
1- Download and Install correctly Mediatek Preloader drivers
( Take care on Windows 8.1/10 drivers, you need to disable driver signature before install
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50pD0mONm44
http://laurentiumihet.ro/technology...-for-32-64-bit-drivers-installation-tutorial/
https://thebroodle.com/microsoft/windows/install-mediatek-mt65xx-usb-vcom-drivers-windows-8-8-1/
2- enter Engineering Mode MTK with Dialer code *#*#3646633#*#*, go into log and debugging, tap on user2root and tap on ROOT, shut down smartphone.
3- With flashtool load MT6735_Android_Scatter-Play.txt
4- Select download and connect smartphone to pc (smartphone must be powered off)… in few seconds will start the process and the new TWRP will be flashed.
3.1- To restore original stock recovery, you need load ad point 3 the file MT6735_Android_Scatter.txt
P.P.S to enter in the recovery, power off the smartphone, push VOL + and Power at the same time, you will see three words with VOL + you move selection, with VOL – you must select Recovery
To have root flash with TWRP the archive supersu.zip found here: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/

This is great work. Have you got a version of this that works with the latest firmware? I upgraded my firmware to the June v10 firmware and when I put this version on it just boot loops the phone.
Thanks.

So no chance of an updated TWRP then megthebest?

I updated the TWRP myself and put it on needrom, for anyone who wants to use TWRP with the latest official ROM. I tested it on my phone and it works I used it to root the phone and install xposed framework.
All credit to megthebest, it is his work.

Thanks Famineuk! Can I update to the new version directly from twrp recovery or do I have to use the flashtool again?

I did it using the flash tool. I never tried it directly through TWRP. I think you could try it then if it didn't work you would still be able to flash it through the flash tool.

Where did you get the v10 ?
i got v9 OTA, but no v10
have you used the one from needrom ? i see no other source.

Root is possible with KingoRoot (NOT Kingroot)

Will an update using the flash tool erase the internal memory of my phone(titanium backup, photos, etc)? Can I update to V10 using TWRP recovery or do I have to use the flash tool again?

Only Flashtool to upgrade.
You may try to maintain Data if in flashtool you will deselect Userdata partition before start flashing (and Recovery partition if you want to maintain TWRP).
You loose root and it will be not guaranteed that with new v10 rom TWRP will work again (possible change in kernel)

It is not my work. Credits to 4pda and to Fedor917
All taken from http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=667513&st=4700#entry47705403
More instructions also here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534
1- You must be rooted and you must have TWRP 3.0.0
Instructions on how to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wileyfox-swift/general/twrp-3-0-0-0-t3311572
2- Your primary ROM is the one you are using now
3- Download and install the below Dual Patcher
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGux/BDb7PSxUp
4- Give SuperSU rights to the application and if requested to install the kernel say yes.
4- Go to the "Patch ROM" to select a file, choose your device, and the slot where the firmware will be installed. I chose data slot since I had problems with extsd. Do the same for gapps if needed by the rom choosing the same slot
5- Reboot into recovery (TWRP 3)
6- Install the patched firmware and patched gapps if needed.
7- After flashing reboot ( no need to wipe anything)
8- You will be rebooted into the new Rom
9- Install in the new ROM the Dual Patcher
10- Open the Dual patcher and you can select from the ROM selection the rom you want to reboot
That's all. Now you can log in to another system by switching the firmware in the tab "Firmware" Using Dual Boot Patcher.
You can also add a third rom.
I have
Primary the stock Cyanogen
Second Temasek’s Rom and
Third Miui 7
Also read in the xda thread on how you can share the applications
Good Luck and I am not responsible for any damage to your device.

Hey I tried it . Well it failed miserably due to me trying many Roms. Phone was stuck on boot lol. Luckily I made a backup
---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 AM ----------
If someone can make a kernel with the kexec hardboot patch then I can try and port Multirom with a custom TWRP which makes a primary and secondary ROM prebuilt

hi. i installed miui via multiboot. there wasn't problem. maybe you made a mistake ?

Won't work with me, when I patch it says " failed code error 211" I look up in the internet but I didn't find anything, can you help me please ?

Can you make it for Wileyfox Storm? plzz

I installed Cyanogenmod 13, it boots but I can't get past the lock screen. Am I screwed if I want to switch my rom back to stock?

Anyone using multiboot with Android N Developer Preview [DEV][N][DP2][CRACKLING]? I see no chance to get this running, because TWRP wont find the N-System (because the system uses squashfs file compression which seems to be uncompatible with TWRP) and so i cant get root working in Android N.

Slim6+cm13= awesomeness!
Everything works great!

Can you do this with an old OS? eg Nougat + Marshmallow?

Has anyone been able to use multiboot on Cosmic/Cardinal/crDroid (all 8.1) and LineageOS 14.1 or 15.0? Mine bricks every single time, I flash the ROM successfully but when I reboot it vibrates 3 times and won't boot till I reflash either of the ROMs as the primary

I can't install any custom ROM

I have bootloader unlocked and TWRP 3.2 installed.
Normally most ROM's are not finished installing always stuck in patching system image unconditionally.
LineageOS 14.1 it was installed but the screen was black with the blue LED on.
I have the stock S251 firmware version of P2a42 with Lenovo P2c72 model.
I tried to format data to EXT4 but doesn't work.

Are you 100% sure the bootloader is unlocked ? Did you unlock the bootloader via fastboot or you just waited until the 14 days countdown ended ?

What version of Android are/were you on ? You need to be on at least Android 7 S244 to be able to flash LOS 14.1.
What I'd suggest you to do is flash the stock ROM all over again. See this. I have the c72 version myself and I've never encountered the issue you mentioned.

Yes, I installed 5. P2a42_S244_170725_ROW_fastboot.7z manually through fastboot and updated later to S251 through OTA. LineageOS 14.1 it is and example, which ROMs works for you? I am looking a Android 8 Oreo custom ROM. Do you have to change partion data to EXT4 or something else? I thought it was because I have the C72 version.

I've tried most of the ROMs here and they all work.

I had the same issue while trying to install new AOSiP 8.1 rom, I have unlocked bootloader, latest TWRP but now I am stuck with this error:
failed to mount /data device or resource busy
I cannot install any rom nor wipe data anymore. Stuck on LENOVO blue logo with the android with the lock in the belly! Help please!
PS: I can reboot to fastboot or TWRP
EDIT: i solved the issue rebooting twice from TWRP to TWRP again and making it permanent on the system, now rom is doing first boot.

Thanks, I always making permanent but apparently it was not enough. Now it's working. Probably I only need to boot TWRP through buttons instead of using fastboot commands to making permanent.
