It was possible to flash recovery without root and locked bootloader!

1. Download and install AFTools https://yadi.sk/d/EpPraBjhjzJRw

When installing the drivers have to confirm that you really want to install them.

2. In the installation folder to find the file option.ini (I c: \ Program Files \ BBK \ AFTool_4.3.7 \ option.ini), and change the language in it

[Language]

CurrentLang = 0

The interface will AFTools English

3. Download and unzip the file on a computer TWRP2xshot.zip https://yadi.sk/d/9aEkVJhwjzbEV

4. Reload the body to Fastboot mode (Power + VolDn) and connected to the computer (the driver must be installed)

5. Start AFTools, select the tab Qualcomm Phone, "Select" button to select the folder where you unpacked the archive file TWRP2xshot.bat, click "Download" - the result will unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP. After reboot, you can reboot into the body TWRP.

Tried Xposed Installer 2.5 and 2.4.1 "still have the "Could not mount Could not mount /system writable", reboot the device both version stuck in boot logo.

Now restored my backup of 6.11.1 ROM.

Weird thing is that i reinstall Xposed Installer on 6.11.1 it shows the "Could not mount Could not mount /system writable" (same message as 6.13.0) but Xposed Framework is working properly.:confused:

I'm going to try more older version of Xposed later since my battery is too low at the moment.
[Android General] yannis07:
Hi Wets. Exposed installer aside how is the new update?
[Android General] WetsHD:
Pretty good so far, haven't tried it for a long period of time though. I'm on 6.11.1 at the moment.

I would like to stay at 6.13.0 but Xposed Framework not working made me restore back to 6.11.1. I not sure if i'm the only one having this problem.
[Android General] yannis07:
You're right. Xposed framework is working with 6.11.1 but not with the last 2 updates. I don't use it so I have no problem updating with the latest version.
[Android General] WetsHD:
Tried Xposed Installer 5.1 and 4 stuck in boot logo.

Ok i finally got Xposed Installer to work on 6.13.0

You need Xposed Installer v2.3.1, but it's very limited it only can support up to 36 XposedBridge.jar. Youtube Adway and Gravity Box require at least 40 XposedBridge.jar. Installing older version help lower it but most of them is not enough.

I ran into a problem when following the TWRP Recovery Guide.

In the PC ADB Method the batch file didn't work as described because the filename was wrong.

I love the Camera and hifi Audio of Xshot :).

It seems like experience, cause my main phone is Xiaomi Mi4 64GB.
[Android General] WetsHD:
I see.

Audio is very fun to listen to. I rarely see a phone with HiFi + Micro SD card slot . The Xshot is one of the phone has it.:)

I was excited about the Letv le1 x600 phone. It has a HiFi chip until i realise it has NO micro Sd card slot. :( Also Meizu MX5 is a disappointment, No Micro Sd Card slot and No mention about the HiFi Chip. :(

Hi:)

Is your OnePlus One 16GB or 64GB?
[Android General] scotch&dry:
Hi Everyone

I have gone through all 58 pages of this thread so far. Very informative. I am on the stock Chinese ROM with English support but I notice many different menus are still in Chinese. Does the custom Chinese ROM have all the menus in English when using English as the language?

I have purchased this phone primarily as a travel phone due to the amazing camera. Looking forward to putting it through its paces in a few weeks.

Does anyone know where to edit the Nickname for the phone? Cheers.

Just for information the phone's details are;

Model vivo Xshot X710L

My current version is 6.14.4.

Android Version 4.4.2

Funtouch OS 2.0

Software version PD1302_A_6.14.4

Kernel version 3.4.0-perl

Android System recovery <3e>, KVT49L dev-keys (currently not rooted).

Respect! TWRP2 installed! Now what do you propose next? Shall I wipe first something or directly install the 2.5.7?

Many thanks! For info, I have not removed the battery
[Android General] bine64:
Internal memory is visible now?
[Android General] gkouk74:
No is not vissible. But I hope that after flashing the 2.5.7 it will recreate the partitions correctly and make it vissible (fingers crossed!)...

I took the following log:

E/Vold ( 215): Fat filesystem check failed (not a FAT filesystem)

W/Vold ( 215): /dev/block/vold/179:26 does not contain a correct FAT filesystem (No data available)

D/Vold ( 215): Volume sdcard1 state changing 1 (Idle-Unmounted) -> 3 (Checking

As I was told, it seems that the sdcard0 (most probably the internal storage) was not formated correctly in FAT32 during the OTA update and that is why is not mounted and not vissible
[Android General] bine64:

At second try to install with TWRP next file

[Android General] gkouk74:
It was not possible to wipe the sdcard0 but with recovery & after wiping data (factory reset through recovery) I managed to mount it. Now I can enter the photo album and it is not locked in storage mode.

Question.. Now that I have TWRP installed, shall I downgrade to 2.5.7 then to 1.6.0, then route or can I directly install the chinese ROM?

With TWRP you can directly install all ROMs without downgrade and root - it is need only for flash TWRP.

I have managed to flash the 6.7.0 chinese ROM and then apply the patches up to 6.7.4 and then root.. However I am facing a small issue. The only activated input method is Google voice.. Can't type anything! From the settings (Input Methods) I only get the Google Voice, nothing else!!! So I can't add my Google account and download e.g. swype!!! Any ideas? I think I might have to switch back to 3.7.0 International or MIUI... :(
[Android General] WetsHD:
Yeah, but Stock app like phone, browser etc.. is design for Chinese. I would just find alternative app in Google Play store.

Custom Chinese 2.0 ROM is recommend for Non-Chinese user because the Camera will save to DCIM folder instead of the Chinese folder when taking a folder and Screenshot will save to screenshot folder. You will get Google Play store Preinstalled on bine's ROM so you don't have to manually follow Google Service guide in the first page. There's much more modification. I'm only naming a few.

Ask bine for that i got no idea. :)

6.7.0 chinese ROM? But i do know only one of the specify ROM have no keyboard app. If you don't have any keyboard app you have to download any keyboard app apk using your computer then put in phone storage, open file manager, navigate the Keyboard.apk and install it.
[Android General] bine64:
Go to iManager->App mgt.->Default app settings->The default input method app->select vivo IME.

After it you can install lovely keyboard from Google play.

Hi all, it's been a while, but i hadn't any issue ubtil now :D

In the last days I received more and more "no space" advices when installing apps, so i decided to erase everything to try to clean up space (i haven't made a format for a long time, since all last roms where just upgrades), I tried miui for a day, but it has too many little bugs (even if it is prettier than funtouch for my taste), so yesterday I switched back to bine's rom, but now I'm stuck on 6.13.0! Every attempt to flash 13.1,.2, etc fails.

It says something about failed patch of bluetooth.apk, and then the red warning "updater script failed".

I tried to update twrp, but i already have 2.7.1, i tried to erase the line pointed by one user in the first posts about the first 6.x roms, but it doesnt work... Any idea? Thank you all

Thank you very much, my phone can enter recovery mode, i can flash Miui rom, but can not flash stock fimware.
[Android General] WetsHD:
I would suggest to stick to TWRP Recovery and flash any 2.0 Custom ROMs if you want a feel of Stock firmware because, there's ROOT and some useful mod like saving camera photo in to the DCIM folder instead of the Chinese folder in stock ROM. And much more mods... Flashing a Custom Chinese ROM makes it easier for non Chinese users. There's Custom international ROM that is compatible with TWRP recovery. There's that. Having TWRP Recovery is useful especially that you can backup your ROM revert back. I have 6.14.4 Chinese ROM and 3.7.0 International ROM backup so I can easily switch ROM using the Restore button in TWRP Recovery.

Your choice.

If you want to flash stock firmware you need Stock Recovery.

Do a Factory Reset then flash your any Custom FunTouch ROM.

Hello everyone here need some help from you experienced folks at XDA. This was my favourite hotspot to hang out since HTC desire days. I just ordered a vivo xshot to gift it to someone else. I have a small time with the phone before I gift it out. So please help me choose the best ROM and settings/configurations.

I need:

Best stability.

Good battery life

Full quality vivo camera processing/driver. (Not necessarily vivo camera app).

Full play store and google compatibility.

Don't absolutely need but prefer:

Full root.

Miui (does miui camera give results as good as stock?).

KitKat 4.4.

Don't need:

Viper4.

Xposed.

I would prefer miui if there is a bug free version which take full advantage of the camera abilities and music chip and all other hardware. But if not, funtouch is fine. I'm sure there will be miui theme? I am just so confused whether to use Chinese ROM or international ROM or custom ROM, and of I really need to flash twrp. I am gifting it to a noob person so need root just for future use like troubleshooting and root compatible apps etc. Thank you to everyone. I'm based in UK so English centric rom is important.
[Android General] WetsHD:
Probably the Custom International ROM with TWRP Recovery + ROOT

Which is this one.

Viper4Android would not work on this ROM.

Apart from that it's hassle free, more noob friendly and reqiures less modification compare to the Chinese ROM.

I would not recommend MIUI, it will have the most bugs compare to FunTouch.

Thanks a lot for the help. Just looking to gift it to someone noob. So looking for stability over everything else.
[Android General] WetsHD:
6.10.3 is the Chinese ROM.

It is recommended to install Custom Chinese ROM if you prefer the Chinese one, you do have to do additional adjustment though, like.

- Freeze/disable the Stock browser app to fix the default app browser issue. Use alternative browser app like Chrome.

- Also Freeze Vivoice it's mainly for Chinese users.

- Phone app is Chinese oriented that you have to find alternative app. I use True Phone Dialer & Contact.

- Uninstall Chinese Bloatware, Go to Setting -> More Setting -> Application -> Factory APP management

Uninstall most of it. Leave the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter if you're using the calendar.

And much more.....

For Custom International ROM there's a few minor adjustment.

- Freeze/disable the Stock browser app to fix the default app browser issue, use alternative browser app like Chrome.

Keep in mind Viper4Android won't work for International ROM at the moment.

So It depends on your preferences. Both ROM (INT and CN) are stable. If you are willing to do additional adjustment the Chinese ROM is for you. If you just want something to work out of the box with very minor adjustment then the International ROM is the choice. For MIUI ROM i would not recommend it because it has the most bugs. It is best to get Custom ROM + TWRP Recovery so you backup 1 ROM for Chinese and 1 ROM for International so you can decide which ROM to prefer.
