[20.2.2015][Root and stay with stock recovery]

Hello Yu Yureka fans!!!
This for the Yu Yureka fans who want to root the phone but don't want to miss OTA update by flashing custom recovery
In this thread i will tell you how to ROOT your Yu Yureka without flashing custom recovery.
This method will not flash custom recovery over stock recovery, this will just boot the custom recovery once just to flash the superuser.zip. so you will be back to stock recovery after flashing superuser.zip.
So lets get started...
Your Bootloader should be UNLOCKED
Files you need:
1. adb and fastboot drivers
2. A CWM recovery link (don't worry we wont flash it, it is just needed to install superuser.zip)
3. Superuser.zip link (save this in your sd card or internal memory)
Note: Keep recovery.img file in the same folder where adb and Fastboot drivers are placed and always open command window from that folder.
Connect your phone to pc via data cable
Steps:
1. Open command window (cntl+shift+right click)
2. Type
Code:
adb devices
if your device is connected you will get it in connected devices
3. Type
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
4. Type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot recovery-yu.img
now your device will boot into recovery mode
5. Select install zip from sd and navigate where you have downloaded the superuser.zip and select install.
6. Done!!! Your device is rooted and you are still in stock recovery :good: you wont miss the OTA
To check if you are in stock recovery just reboot into recovery :good:
Hit thanks if this helped :good:

Thanks, will check. Although I downloaded the drivers just today, so not sure, how it is not up to date. Anyway, will check it once I am home in 3 hours.

tried resintalling the drivers. didn't help. command prompt still keeps on waiting for device forever, while phone is in fastboot mode.
Edit:
If I cancel the third command, and check the list again, phone is not listed. Somehow, after rebooting into bootloader, phone stops the adb connection.

i am on twrp recovery can i flash this recovery on that and update the new ota?
please help

Did you unlock bootloader?
1. Connect the device to the computer through USB.
2. From a terminal on a computer, type the following to boot the device into fastboot mode (or restart pressing power+vol up):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
3. Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing:
Code:
fastboot devices
4. From the same terminal, type the following command to unlock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
If the device doesn't automatically reboot, reboot it from the menu. It should now be unlocked.
5. Then you can flash the recovery what you want. In fastboot mode, type in terminal:
Code:
fastboot devices
6. And flash the recovery. Type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
Good luck

Hi, is it wrong to wipe the system partition before flashing a custom rom? Coming from stock ColorOS, I've wiped all dalvik cache, cache, system, and data, then flash a custom rom but it ended up getting endless bootanimation unable to boot into the custom rom.
I did unlock the bootloader with the adb code, flashing a temporary recovery was a success but endless bootanimation happened after flashing a custom rom. The custom rom was successfully installed according to TWRP's log.
Pls advice, thanks in advanced
P.s: I was referring to my friend's device X9076

Hi, i tried in the past some roms than not works, phone stuck in boot animation. The roms wich works for me and my x9076 with r63419 are:
Omnirom (6 or 5) THE BEST
Project Spectrum
Cyanogen 13 (modified version for new panel: http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=44907&extra=)
Miui
If you install CM13, you need to flash unified partition script for CM13 (you can find it in the same post from the forum Oppo Community)
For the other roms i dont need to flash anything else than rom and gapps.
Now i give a chance to CM13, but i think that i will get back to Omni if developers dont fix the mobile radio issue.
Cheers

Can anyone guide me please, 1st time i bought MTK phone Oppo F7, its update automatically but suddenly dead like stuck on logo and restarting again and again, i didnt ever flash MTK phone, neither i have any android tool like MRT dongle or any other flash USB or Box... Kindly guide me step by step how to flash with which tool only USB cable and PC... Thanks in advance

OUTDATED***[GUIDE] Basic guide to flash a recovery and a rom via recovery in Mi A3.

This is a basic guide to flash a rom via recovery in Mi A3 as title says.
Is created to help all those that want but can't.
Please read before act, and if you don't understand....well read again.
Mi A3 is a device with treble support, and while is not difficult to flash a rom,is a little bit tricky process.
So here are the detailed steps to do achieve that.
First things first, you've got to have your bootloader unlocked. Follow below steps to do that:
-Enable developer options by going to settings/about phone and clicking 5 times on build number.
Inside developer options:
-Find and enable OEM unlocking.
-Find and enable USB debugging.
In adb tools type:
-
Code:
adb devices
reboot to bootloader.
-
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unlock bootloader(you will lose all your data).
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
When the device reboot, boot once again in fastboot by powering off then power on while pressing vol down button.
Type command to full unlock bootloader.
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Proceed to recovery flash
Notice that you've got to have all files ready, either inside external sd or in your pc. All files are at the end of this thread as links or attachments.
Also i'm suggesting OrangeFox recovery for now because is the most stable.
-First you following the orangefox recovery installation guide:
- Download the OrangeFox zip file from here or the link at the end and copy it to your device (internal or external storage)
- Extract the recovery.img from the zip and store it, on the folder where you have adb and fastboot files, on your PC
- Open a cmd line and execute these commands (being on that folder, of course):
-
Code:
adb devices
(to make sure your device is detected)
-
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(to reboot into fastboot mode)
-
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
(to check what's your current active slot)
-
Code:
fastboot set_active b
(if your active slot was a, if it was b then change it to a)
-
Code:
fastboot erase boot
-
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img [b](OR WHATEVER NAME YOUR RECOVERY HAVE)[/b]
-
Code:
fastboot reboot
(NOTE : Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo.
-->> By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System <<--
- Install the OrangeFox zip (always install the latest build available and always keep a copy of recovery zip file in your external sd)
- Change slot to the one that was active on the beginning of these steps and reboot to Recovery (just to make sure that the slot, in fact, was changed)
After orangefox recovery is installed, you are ready to flash your rom.
You can move your rom files inside your external or internal memory(prefer external to avoid deleting them accidentally).
To do that you can either do it before the whole procedure, or after the recovery installation since you have mtp and adb available.
Copy them drag them or push them via adb(i'm not going to extend the adb push command here)
Now the flashing steps:
-Go to partition manager inside orangefox recovery and select data/format data(red button) and press format.Type YES.
-Go back and find the rom file inside your target directory(internal or external).
-Select the rom file and flash it.
-DO NOT REBOOT.
-Go back where you have the orangefox zip file, select it and flash it.
-Leave the device as is because after the installation it will reboot itself to recovery once again.
-Once the recovery starts again go to the target folder that you have the remaining files.
-Flash magiskV20.zip (if you want your device to be rooted).
-Flash Gapps if there are any or skip this step if your ROM provider have them included.
-Flash patchnofde10 zip to avoid data encryption(if you don't do that the rom will NOT boot).
-Reboot to system and enjoy.
All files are available to the links below.
Patchnofde file is attached to this post.
I'm not responsible if you cause a nuclear war or your cat or dog stop talking to you.

Okay I got it to boot to Havoc OS but my wifi and gsm calls stopped working. Also videos were flashing during playback. I guess I was doing something wrong during the whole flashing process and the device ended up without the correct firmware.
I have reverted back to stock using one of the fastboot ROM flashing scripts and everything is fine, though I would like to go Android 10 without GAPPS if possible.

Thank you very much for the guide. Do you recommend any backup with orange box? If I want to revert to stock rom, do I need to know something?

How could I update the ROM?

That's because you didn't follow it to the letter.
You have to flash Patchnofde to boot to rom.

Same as above.
If you don't flash patch for the encryption, you ll end up to recovery again. Also I recommend to read carefully the steps with the recovery flashing. You have to be sure that the slot is what it was at the beginning.
A out the Android backup, yes. You can take and restore backups freely.

Hello,
@sotmax
Thank you for your guide.
@ANyOne i have unlocked the bootloader, but after that, when i'm in fastboot mode, i'm not being detected by the adb devices command. Any idea why ?

Because ADB and fastboot are different modes and using different commands. In fastboot use "fastboot devices".

Yes decrypting working fine, even on Android 13

Can I just boot it with fastboot and flash Magisk flashable file in order to root the phone?
I have seen videos on youtube showing exactly that, just wanted to make sure it's doable.
Just want to root the phone, do not intend to flash any rom (yet).

If you already have your magisk_patched.img, you can choose which method you want:
1. with Fastboot + TWRP (temporary)
fastboot boot [drag and drop recovery.img]
flash your magisk_patched.img in boot partition + check "Flash to both slots"
reboot to system
2. only Fastboot
fastboot flash boot_a [drag and drop magisk_patched.img]
fastboot flash boot_b [drag and drop magisk_patched.img]
fastboot reboot

What if I would "fastboot boot TWRP.img" and then flash Magisk flashable version checking "flash to both slots"?

dreamdrake said:

Click to collapse
When you check "Flash to both slots" TWRP will flash the makisk_patched.img to boot_a and boot_b.
I'm not sure, but if you don't check the box, TWRP will maybe flash to inactive slot and you are NOT rooted.
Edit: You can check which slot is active with adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix

Is it possible to make a backup of the installed rom with relative restore using this official twrp? If yes, which files to select

ok... i can't access to internal storage via pc. I formated data (type yes), rebooted to recovery again and my pc sees internal storage but there is no info about size and i can't copy files to it. It shows message something like "this device is disconnected". I tried to reinstall adb drivers, tried to restart my pc and it's not working. I used adb sideload to falsh ROM and after i booted to ROM, rebooted to recovery I can access internal storage via TWRP.

Runs super laggy with kernel compiled with gcc which is very strange and annoying.

Can't access storage with PC... Disabled and enabled MTP multiple times...
I had to flash ROM via OTG...

Oppo A83 [CPH1729] TWRP RECOVERY

⚠Warning: This is not official TWRP, use it at your own risk!!!
Data will be erased. Back up if neccessary
This device is kind of weird so to flash twrp you need these things:
1. Prepare materials​
Install driver so as to have access to preloader (Just install automatically and no need to do anything in device manager)
This software to access to preloader -> fastboot (fastboot is somehow not available via adb methods) Enter fastboot
This tool for flashing
2. Unlock bootloader (need testpoint, python, git (optional) - you can search on google)​
Use this tool - go to this section. Follow guides to unlock bootloader (remember to use testpoint not hardware buttons)
3. Enter fastboot mode​
Use latest MTK META Ultility tool
Select Reboot Fastboot Mode in BRom section
Hold volume down button. While holding connect it to your computer
*Now your phone is in fastboot mode​4. Flash​
Open platform-tools folder in Downloads folder
Shift + Right click then "open command window here"
Input these commands into cmd
fastboot flash boot drag twrp file to cmd
fastboot flash recovery drag twrp file to cmd.
fastboot reboot. Swipe to allow modification in twrp (to make sure that stockboot wont replace twrp). After that reboot to recovery to make it installed on your device permanently.
Now your recovery is ready to flash file you can push stock image file to your root folder using adb command: "adb push. Drag the stock image file. /" (Because Decryption right now doesnt work on my device yet)
Enjoy
*Sounds crazy but it is required to make sure twrp is installed correctly​*If successful, when you power on, you will get a red section on top of your device. If you want to recover to stock recovery, flash the recovery.img below.​*Also, if you want to make your own twrp, you can try recovery.img below.​
