That won't be too hard. Converting images that's required isn't hard. Easy to create update file for twrp
Download image kitchen for android it'll convert the system image to a raw file which u can use to install to system partition.
And add boot and maybe cache to zip don't think userdata is needed here

User data is not needed but update contains patch files and some firmware updates not just system image so not sure that will work . update files here seem different to those I've seen on my HTC and Samsung

The Google patch isn't really needed the fixes is necessary I use full package not ota
For sure patches might not be updated since it's still says February patch. But it should contain the bugfixes still.
And according to the log. It doesn't contain Google patches

small window error when opening googleplay music seems now to b resolved with this patch.

When I open the ota from umi it looks as if it patches some system files . it does not contain just updated files by the look of it so converting to something twrp can flash won't give same results as flashing the ota as normal.
For now no full 3.02 update is uploaded by umi.
Simple then as can flash via PC and ignore user data.
Once z pro is in sync will give your ROM a go
Cheers

The system is having new patched files
The ota just patches the files needed Wich the full image has
And as I said I only convert the updated system.img not the ota files. Because the new system.img is patched already

I think that the 3.02 for Umi Z could be due just to the fact it's renamed as Umidigi Z. The previous 3.01 was listed as for Umi Z.

Looking at the update z 3.02 has new kernel and some updates to other firmware partitions as well as updated system image . I have sorted the system image as suggested with kitchen worked fine but other images don't work that way.
I guess custom ROM that's has been uploaded will update system and kernel fine but probably not update any firmware areas ..with this phone being so new I guess its best to update fully for now.
So I'm going to do a fresh flash of full ROM then update.
But I must thank you for all help and guidance and for starting the ball rolling on custom ROMs. Also thanks to (Phil?) Others who are working on custom ROMs here .
Soon we will have nougat and hopefully a linage port or at least custom nougat to enjoy

I don't recommend to try flash partitions like modem since it might break the modem until you flash it properly.

All flashed via spflash tool as firmware upgrade . worked fine ,, but cleared apps which never happened last update. Still fully re installed everything itself including accounts so worked but took time.
Defiantly done something to kernel side as phone very snappy

Flash 10.1 update ?

I have seen this article:
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010...=Feed:+TheBoyGeniusReport+(Boy+Genius+Report)
That means our Flash 10.1 is Beta, but I can't find Flash in Market. So how can I update it ? Thanx
UPDATE: It looks like currently only Nexus One owners are seeing the option to update to this latest version.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/70993-flash-player-10-1-download-droid.html
I remember being able to install the 10.1 update when I had the DeFroSt Rom on my phone that made it report as a N1. And I could get that update. Can't remember the DeFroSt Rom version tho
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Ap
can anyone advise what files we need to remove on roms that have the beta version baked in? new market version won't install on my rooted Desire...
Usually called "install_flash_player.apk" in /system/app by most ROM developers. Guess look for something with the name of "flash". Then in /system/lib there is also a libflashplayer.so. You should also delete that.
Remember both can only be removed in recovery since they are in /system.
Why someone can see the update and someone can't?

Sense ROMs can't see the update (unless they're already on the final version). Anyone know the full build number?

the full build number should be 10.1.92.8
Is there a way to update this? As far as I know this should be also a security update.
I'm on 10.1.7x.x so obviously in need of said update - hopefully it'll kick in at some point!
Yeah, got it today, running defrost in Sweden, no longer beta version.
There are apk's of the final version of flash floating around on the internet, I picked up a copy from /r/Android section of Reddit. It's working fine for me. Can't give url atm, sry.

Yeah, I second that. I just installed the .Apk which I found from a link in a forum. there's no need to uninstall the beta which is bundled with the 2.2 update. The final version just installs over the top as an upgrade. it also gives you the option to remove the update if required by using the "applications" menu in "settings".
Haven't noticed any differences yet though.
hxxp://dl.dropbox.com/u/10203535/Adobe%20Flash%20Player%2010.1_10.1.92.8.apk
This is the link for the final build, snatched from Reddit.
Thanks for the link, installed fine on my Desire. Has anyone noticed any differences in performance since updating?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
I suppose this gets installed in RAM alongside with the beta version found in Android 2.2 Froyo?
Can it be installed so it replaces the existing beta version, avoiding to double the space required?
Maybe a package that can be installed with ClockWorkMod recovery?
Thanks for the link. But flash occupies 12.5mb on my desire!! Thats insane! As it is there is so little space to install apps, and with this, it becomes even worse.
when installing, it actually offers upgrade, so I presume it doesn't install twice

ram is random access memory and has nothing to do with storage, this will install in data/app, if you have one already on your fone just use adb to remove installflashplayer.apk from /system/app/
so with froyo, we have Flash and Flash lite ? Any way to remove the lite thing ?

Hi! Why did you choose 10A and not the 10B as a base? It would be great if you could make a deodexed 10B stock rooted rom.

Bump.
What I've noticed is this;
I guess I have a d80210a, because that's what it says in bootloader text/info at the bottom...
If I Flash a version of a Rom that might be based on a "b" or "c" version, when I try to use LG R&D Flashtool to revert to genuine stock the prices will fail at approximately 49%. Then I can reboot and the already installed Rom will have survived the failed Flash attempt.
One thing this might tell me is that the specifics of the hardware and the current running software (Rom) is checked some time during LG R&D Flashtool process.
So, the versions at hand, a b and c might be connected to hw somehow and this won't matter (it haven't mattered for at least) until you try to revert pure stock.
Just my two cents of thoughts...

Hi venkat,
Thank you for your work. I am currently on lolipop stock firmware. I lost my root due to update. Is there anyway to root my lollipop without going back to kitkat ?
I am very eager to try Your ROM but I dont have root and recovery.
Any method dealing with small size files would be fine. I have 512kbps connection
Thank you in advance

2 options for you...
1 Go back to kitkat root the phone install recovery.. And than reboot.. After that install pre PRE ROOTED lollipop.
2 Unlock the bootloader Than reboot.. Flash Trinity or Rockz kernel.. Than you have recovery and flash pre rooted lollipop zip....
In option 2 you wont loose data.. Provided if you have unlocked bootloader earlier and than relocked....
Thank You !!!

Gone back to Jelly bean. Rooted and installed recovery. Haven't unlocked the bootloader. And flashed the Pre rooted lollipop using recovery.
And working fine.
so now the prerequisites for this ROM will only be recovery and root. Not KitKat root.
Will download the updated ROM which is going to be released on Tuesday
Can you upload the files to google drive please Downloading for past 6 hours from mega and now it failed :crying: :crying:
I can resume the download on Google Drive with IDM . A humble request
No problems at all!
Amazing stock Rom. No fc. Flashed from stock kitkat. Everything working fine. It would be great if there were cool mods built in.
Patiently waiting for C6903 version..!

I have stock lollipop with unlocked bootloader, but without any recovery. How can I flash it? Flashing via flashtool other kernel is safe? Or it may do bootloop or smthing like that?
Thx for reply!
You can flash in fastboot, kernel with dualrecovery and root.

noob here, if i install this, can i still get future updates such as security patches? or future versions of marshmallow?
I am still on DOI2...
DOI6 files need to be installed first, right?
I used this procedure to update my Note 5 (insurance claim recently replaced my Note 4) so if you have any questions, I may be able to help. It looks like in order to use this file you'd have to be on firmware ending in 6.
Keep in mind, on the Note 5 there were a couple different updates posted on the server, so this one y'all found may not be the final update.
Also, if you use this via adb, it will wipe everything on the phone.

There needs to be a way to flash back to an official release. I haven't read through the Note 4 threads to see if there is. If there isn't a way to flash back, I wouldn't install this because if this turns out to be not the final OTA, you wouldn't be able to get the latest or future OTAs.

I think you can put this update on SD card and if you adb from SD card will not wipe your phone. On note 5 we did not have this option.

If this is not finale MM version you need to flash back to version you on now. There was no problem flashing back at all on Note 5, so I don't think there will be with Note 4.
For all others I will look for previous updates so you can update up to last official release.

Downgrade from 5.1.1 Lollipop back to 5.0.1 or 4.4.4:
The 5.1.1 “bootloader” is secured, so downgrading from Android 5.1.1 and returning back to Android 5.0.1 and or 4.4.4 is not possible anymore.

EMUI 5 (Nougat) B320 via Firmware Finder!

Hey guys!
I am Vivek from Ahmedabad, India. I am writing this just to let you all know about my recent experience with FF!
I bought my 6X (BLN-L22) like 2 months back and couldnt get any official ota even after waiting this long. I tried to contact the EMUI admin in Facebook and they told me that its being pushed to individual devices gradually. Now as promising as it sounds, how long is someone supposed to wait right?
Now, I came across an ocean of unfavorable and negative reviews about FF here in XDA and also in other websites. A lot of people complained about disappearance of updater and app twin along with other apps. While others complained of buggy performance or some other issues with the camera. But what I later found out was that people were trying to jump from an old release to the latest one without patching the previous releases of the full OTA in FF!
Some people had issues while jumping from 301 to 320 and some from 310 to 320. And some had twrp installed so its obv to face random issues anyway. Well, I was in B132 all this time and I didnt know what to patch first. But I read somewhere that my release and B320 were stables ones compared to others. So I backed up every single thing from my phone and took the risk only to see if all the hype about FF was true or not...
And to my surprise, it actually worked!! I simply flashed my phone to B320 from B132 using the proxy method and it all happened within an hour. I am on Nougat (EMUI 5) now and its super smooth. I have all the new features like App twin and box based push notifications. I even have the updater file which many complained of vanishing after flashing. It all worked just fine!
I was given a little inspiration by a guy named Gopi here for trying out the FF after all those crazy reviews. He said "You never know unless you try". And I went for it! haha!
So go ahead folks! B320 through FF is what you need if you dont wish to wait too much for the OTA. Special thanks to the developers of FF for this!
Good luck! :good:
Peace.
I'm legit jealous . Cause in my device (BLL-L22) there is still no full nougat update in it (with the app twin etc). Just wish huawei release it soon

So previously if we update manually everyone is facing only minor issues. But the main which some have reported is if you factory reset after the update then then are complaining about missing updater in setting and also some apps like calculator. So I want to know if this still exists. Have you tried factory reset on your phone after update ? Are the apps like updater still present after factory reset? Please help me I am done waiting for ota

No I didnt went for the factory reset. It wasnt necessary anyway. I simply updated from B132 to B320 via FF and within 15 mins, the whole update was installed. I got App Twin, Updater and a lot of other new features. I didnt faced any bug so far. Been using EMUI 5 since 3 days now. Dont wait for OTA if you dont wish to. Just upgrade via FF buddy. Good luck!
I think you won't get future OTA updates after this...
Because I also updated with firmware finder from Marshmallow to Nougat build 310 just as happy as you and now I'm not getting 320 update....?

I know he's not rooted.
People who updated with firmware finder earlier are getting 320 build as OTA but it shows "update failed" when try to update.

1. Download the right firmware for your device
2. Create a folder inside sdcard named dload
3. Extract the update.app inside the firmware you downloaded and put it inside dload
4. Power off your phone
5. Power it on back again using volume up, volume down and power buttons. All pressed simultaneously
6. Flashing will start.
