[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
When you tried flashing the TWRP in recovery, did you have the autoreboot option in Odin UNCHECKED? If you didn't and you let the device reboot after the flash was over then it won't keep the TWRP recovery because the autoreboot makes the device boot to system, when that happens the device reverts back to stock recovery.

The correct way is to have auto reboot unchecked then after flashing and getting the green PASS you disconnect the device and manually boot straight to recovery instead of system, it will boot to TWRP instead of stock recovery and then it will stick, it has to be booted to TWRP immediately after flashing and before doing anything else or rebooting to system.

I haven't checked to verify if this applies to you but if you flashed TWRP and you are left with no recovery at all(stock or custom) then it probably means you have a locked bootloader(flashing on a locked bootloader usually bricks a device instead of wiping out recovery, but flashing recovery on locked bootloader and wiping out recovery instead of bricking isn't unheard of on some). if that is the case then you'll have to see if you can downgrade to an older firmware that doesn't have a locked bootloader if it is safe to do on your device, downgrading hard bricks some devices with locked bootloader permanently so you have to verify that downgrading is safe for your model and firmware.

If you can't downgrade or unlock your bootloader then you won't be able to use custom recovery and custom ROMs, you'll have to use Safestrap recovery and modified stock ROMs.

If you're rooted and have custom recovery then you should flash ROM and Gapps then kernel.

I'm new at using smartphones, got an HTC One M9, but I haven't been able to use it at its fullest or to really do anything with it because of college. Recently, I found out about rooting, and I've been considering rooting my phone, I'm not concerned about voiding my warranty but everywhere I look it says that rooting is not safe and that it opens your phone to malicious apps. Personally, this sounds a lot like what people say about Windows, though if you're careful and don't download any shady stuff or open strange emails you don't get any viruses. Is it the same with rooting? Is there some place where the advantages and disadvantages of rooting are discussed? I've googled but all I seem to find are incomplete answers, google also told me this was the best place to ask. I was also wondering if rooting my phone also means I have to manually update Android each time a new version shows up.

I'm familiar with linux, super user and all that since I've had linux for a while now. I've also flashed my PC's BIOS before, don't know if that counts as experience for flashing ROMs on a phone. Any help is appreciated.

Whoever built it probably screwed up or something. It's in every build of CM12.x that I know of for any device. I don't know what to tell you because it is supposed to be there by default.

PM the developer or post in his thread and give him a mention or quote one of his posts, one of those ways will give him a notification so he can check your post.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Yes, you will have to manually update, or go back to stock to take OTA updates. Manually updating is super easy if you get S-Off on your M9. Going back to stock is too. There are threads here on XDA with stock TWRP backups (TWRP is a custom recovery), and stock recoveries to flash.

Rooting is safe if you can follow instructions. It isn't going to make a difference malware wise. Don't download apps from sketchy sites (hacked/patched APKs) and there won't be a problem.

Huawei p6 c00 how to install android 4.4 on it?

Hello all

I'm very sorry if I post my question in the wrong place. I'm new and my english is not so good so I hope you can help me with my question.

I have Huawei p6 c00 device that I try to upgrade from android 4.2.2 with imoi version 1.6 b106 to newer version for instens android 4.4

but my problem is the official method is not working and I have to use other methods.

I have until now tried to flash my firmware via fastboot but the problem is when I try to send the system.img that is 900mb the process fails with the error sparse error header magi. I think because the max download size is 800mb for the fastboot. What confirm me is when I try to flash the b121 firmware android 4.2.2 the process success with out problems because the system.img in that version is 650 mb.

So now what I have to do?

Are there other versions of fastboot that have bigger max download size?

Can I use twrp recovery instead?

I read in some forums that twrp cannot be used to flash stock firmware is that correct?

Are there other methods I have missed?

Thank you very much
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't know what to tell you about the size issue.

If you can get TWRP installed and then find or create a stock flashable zip of your firmware, you can flash that through recovery.

Sorry trying to figure this out. It gave me a subject when I hit reply so I posted the question. I need to root the lenovo vibe z2 on 4.4.4. Kingo root didn't work and I followed tutorial to unlook boot loader but qualcom driver install.exe didn't work either.
[General Questions and Answers] xenreon:
Can you provide more details ?
[General Questions and Answers] Andr3w1:
This is my phone details. Its a standard lenovo vibe z2 and all the reference I can find involve the pro version.

First I tried kingo root and it slows down and locks up after about 45 minutes saying it can not root the phone.

I thought maybe I would try what people were saying about unlocking the boot loader but again only threads for the vibe z2pro version of this phone. When I downloaded the drivers on the tutorial for pro, the qualcom has a driver installer exe file. I tried that on computer but wouldn't open. So I tried the software without that but it never recognized my device.
[General Questions and Answers] xenreon:
If the instructions and files are for another device then I won't suggest you to proceed as you'll most probably end up in a brick, so until someone posts a rooting method for your device your best bet is trying all the one-click root apps out there... Or you can also learn and build your own custom recovery for your device and then rooting will be of some moments work

Thats a little above my level unless I can follow a good tutorial. Ive tried these:

z4root

Universal Androot

If it fails, then you can click the link in my signature and troubleshoot it there, yes. But, if you know what you're doing before you click the start button, then chance of failing is pretty small :) yep, that's the basic idea. There are a few things which you should make sure of before clicking start, for example killing all kies processes (if you have it installed.)

Maybe it'd be a good idea to click the link in my signature first to have a read. There's also a link in there to a guide to use Odin if you want to look at one more before taking the plunge :)
