[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobboW:
Lol, an easy root is no fun :silly:

Yes, stock recovery to update stock ROM. Then see if root survives update. If not, re-root.

I didn't root B522 as it was just a stepping stone to B560.

I now have root on B560. Had issues with SuperSU versions and bricked it a bunch of times, relying on my TWRP backup to get it going again. The SuperSUPro 2.64 from on this forum roots it ok. I gave up on systemless with official Chainfire files. Just bricks it. Now, Xposed and ViPER4Android to do :D

Edit:

Systemless Xposed flash bricked it again, lol. Next, flash my backup of rooted B560 and try traditional Xposed.

Edit:

Root and ViPER4Android installed. Backing up again and try Xposed (normal mode).

Edit:

I'm now thinking of not even using Xposed and unroot the phone once modded how I want.

I'm going to be using it for a small business I'm starting and now looking at mobile POS systems which connect through the phone and will need to be secure, so probably have to be very careful what software I run in the phone.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prozart:
Alright, I'll probably do that when I get home tonight. Overall I've been very impressed with Marshmallow. And honestly one of the main reasons I wanted root access was to change the DPI settings cause everything was so huge but Marshmallow has fixed that so now I just need it on principle, lol. That and I'd like to get rid of some of this Huawei bloat. Is there anything I need to keep around? My plan was to just TWRP backup and pretty much delete everything and restore if I have any problems, lol.

1- With flashtool load MT6753_Android_Scatter-TWRP.txt

2- 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

P.S after flashing, enter immediately in TWRP at boot using POWER and VOL + keys at the same time untile Logo

On First Boot of TWRP answer NO to the request of system files modify (this because it seems that if you answer yes and swipe, on the next reboot you will remain stuck at boot)

to have root flash with TWRP the archive supersu.zip 2.79 or latest linked here

[Android General] zijin_cheng:
Does Mediatek sell their MTK6753 with missing bands, or they just lock certain bands? Because it would seem more cost effective to just sell the exact same SoC but with different bands locked.
[Android General] megthebest:
as i know, they sell with missing band.

MT6753 could support many bands if customers pay for them..

So, Thor (but many others) won't support many bands for USA and Latin America.

I have seen that in some case, they release Version B of the devices, to have "world wide" bands (Like Elephone P8000 and P8000 network B)

[Android General] ZB2016:
I did the following things to get last OTA update working:

- migrated stuff from SDCard (have an internal memory configuration)

- disabled SDCard

- removed SDCard

- wiped cache partition in TWRP (solved "reboot to recovery screen never ends" error in OTA update 2)

- flashed original recovery

- installed OTA update (worked fine even though I have a rooted phone also during OTA update)

After that, restoration procedure:

- flashed TWRP

- inserted SDCard

- updated internal memory configuration

- migrated data

Worked fine for me. Now on lates OTA release. :good:
[Android General] framir:
Didn't flash also system? OTA worked also with SuperSU and exposed installed? Same users have bootloop with modded system...
[Android General] ZB2016:
I wiped cache partition. Flashing would have been done by OTA update I assume. Just figured out: Baseband and security level have not been updated. :confused: Investigating further ... probably it requires an unrooted phone? Will keep you udated.
[Android General] framir:
I mean you have to flash with recovery also system partition but not data. Then clean cache and it would be fine... After you have to flash twrp, SuperSU and eventually exposed...
[Android General] ZB2016:
How could I with original recovery? The only message that comes after having reflashed OOB recovery after reboot when I select "boot to recovery" is a fallen Android bot stating "Kein Befehl", which means "no command". OOB recovery is crap ... or did you mean using flashtool?
[Android General] framir:
Have to use flashtools. From here you can flash recovery and system
[Android General] bluntkid:
So i finally updated it, basband nd patch level did not change. During update, it said error but when the phone boots, it says installation complete. Stock recovery does not work. It says no command nd after a while, it restarts the fone back to the home screen. When i check for new updates, it says my system is up to date. Before i updated, i flashed everything except userdata nd cache
[Android General] ZB2016:
So, finally I got it managed and it cost me not years of my life but again several of my hairs ... they get less and less ... Updating the Thor reminds me a bit of Top Gear's "How hard can it be?"-sessions and at the end I feel like Jeremy Clarkson ... totally confused.

Finally I did get it managed the following way:

- nandroid Backup including userdata (real_userdata) and SDCard (just to be on the save side) and (if available) adopted storage

- shutdown

- remove SDCard

- flash Stock with flashtool: boot, recovery, logo, custom, cache, system, userdata (loosing root, Xposed, ...)

- boot android 1st time

- set airplane mode (to avoid entering PINs after reboot), enable WiFi, connect to AP

- download and install OTA updates (3 times)

- shutdown

- flash TWRP recovery with flashtool

- reboot recovery

- nandroid backup of userdata only (install_userdata)

- nandroid restore of original userdata (real_userdata) and adopted storage

- install SuperSU zip, install XPosed installer zip (loaded from usbotg)

- shutdown

- insert SDCard

- reboot (takes long time, all apps get optimized)

If your SDCard configuration is "internal", then the list would have to be amended. After last OTA update and before flashing TWRP, you have to establish the "internal" configuration again. Requires a reboot ad you will loose all data on the card, since it is encrypted, but you have lost the encryption key together with root and Xposed at the beginning of the procedure. Don't be alarmed: You should have backed up data in nandroid backup.

Finally this brings latest security patch level and baseband update. I would assume, the other updates that miss those things have failed and/or are incomplete. Hopefully having saved install_userdata might help on next OTA update. I figured out, that installing downloaded update zip files from local device does not behave as expected, the installation is much too quick and incomplete - at least in my tests. So I would suggest to use the WiFi and download OTA packages, since for me it really works - at least this time.

BTW: exFAT is still not supported in Thor's android. My attached HDD (USBOTG) has 3 partitions (FAT32, exFAT and NTFS) and only the FAT32 gets recognized and accepted. The others get recognized, but Thor wants to format them .... (for sure no way!)

Hope it helps ...

Very very well. Immediately after update i would have done a system nandroid backup so for next update you could restore it, flash original recover and update android from OTA...

GPS Update...

First Test:

Screen ON ...GPS gets fix , launch Google Maps .. choose destination ....GPS loses it´s positioning after a while. Enter YGPS no gps satellites fixed,

Second Test:

Screen ON ...GPS gets fix, launch Google Maps ... choose destination...set the screen timeout to 15s ...screen turns off...but GPS is still working fine since i can hear the Google Maps telling me directions... it worked fine for more than an hour like this . Enter YGPS 7 to 8 gps sattelites fixed .

Third Test.

Screen ON ...GPS gets fix , launch Google Maps .. choose destination ....GPS loses it´s positioning after a while. Enter YGPS no gps sattelites fixed. Let the screen turn off, wait a little and Google Maps start working again , turn screen on ...enter YGPS and again the GPS satellites have fixed positions.

So the GPS Doesn´t work with the screen On ...but works fine with the screen Off.

Por favor, carregar o dispositivo, antes de iniciar o procedimento. Leva um tempo, e bateria.

Se o GPS não funciona depois disso, seria um hardware defeituoso.

Espero que não ;)
