Hmm... doesn't seem to work on our devices... This is what I got when trying to boot it:

Yeah I think it's the updater script in TWRP, we need a way to get the stock recovery.img to port TWRP over. Try fastboot oem unlock and retry the fastboot boot TWRP, just a guess.

I'm afraid there's no luck there either.

I don't think it's the updater. I passed this command to the phone through `fastboot`, but it gave the same exact error message. I think the problem that should be addressed is how to unlock the bootloader of this phone. I have `OEM Unlock` ticked on under developer settings.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zMILWAUKEE:
Having the OEM unlock ticked in the dev settings is only the first step in unlocking the bootloader, and all that does is disables the FRP protection upon factory reset. We do need OEM unlock enabled before unlocking the bootloader in fastboot. I just haven't found the right fastboot commands yet for our phone. But yes your correct, we need that bootloader unlocked before any real progress can be made. By chance can you pull any partitions from the phone at all ? And also did you open your terminal in the same location as that TWRP .img is located, cause if not that may be why you got that command not found msg. Any way thank you for going back and forth with me on this, my PC will be up and running again in two weeks, then I'll be able work at it along with you and post any progress I make. We will get this rooted and a recovery soon.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathin.r:
I can definitely pull the partitions... though I'm not that tech savy. I can run circles around a bash terminal, but Android leaves me a little stumped with how basic sh can be. Just tell me what I should do, and I'll get it done.

I should only have OEM Unlock on while I'm doing this... I lost my old ZTE Sonata 3 earlier when I bought this phone, and I left the OEM settings enabled on that phone. Whoops.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zMILWAUKEE:
Yes for security purposes leave the OEM unlock unticked unless messing around in the terminal and rooting and fun stuff like that. And as your pretty well versed in the Linux terminal, Android is real close to that as far as commands go so you should be able to pick it up faster than most. If you can pull the stock recovery it will be real easy to port over or edit that TWRP build I linked to before. Scour the web for commands that work with this chip set. Redmi 4a may be the commands we need, as a matter of fact I'll dig around for the command to unlock that bootloader and being the same exact phone as ours should be the same. Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathin.r:
From what I could find, creating a dump of the recovery would require that I be rooted... Though I could be wrong.

Try this fastboot OEM_unlock not sure if ours will be upper case for OEM parts, but some devices need the underscore. And of course they ( Cool Pad ) don't want us unlocking the bootloader, all the OEMs are trying to make it as hard as they can to unlock them. Found some more fastboot commands, these are obviously for Linux users, Windows will be the same without the sudo. sudo fastboot oem unlock

sudo fastboot oem unlock-go

sudo fastboot flashing unlock

sudo fastboot flashing unlock_critical

Is there perhaps a way to see what commands that the remote device can support?

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Interestingly enough, while doing some research, I noticed that normal devices show "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)" when the bootloader isn't unlockable. Ours just shows "FAILED (remote: unknown command)". It sounds as if the commands for unlocking the device's bootloader were completely removed instead of blocked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zMILWAUKEE:
Yes there is, you need to make a dump of the bootloader and search through all the lines manually for the OEM commands, yes a long and tedious process I know, but so far not finding much on the Qualcomm Coolpad devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zMILWAUKEE:
You may be right. I also have a LG Stylo 2 from Cricket, and they not only removed the bootloader but the entire recovery, yeah it has a most basic recovery that the user can't boot into at all in any way. And the two ZTE phones are just as hard to unlock. One question, do you have a system app called mobile services. I can't find any documentation on the app itself, but if I don't disable it my devices randomly download apps and games I don't want nor ever heard of. So now I'm back to my original thoughts, Cricket is ultimate anti root anti mod service provider.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathin.r:
I'm afraid that in the case of our device, it's far more serious than that.

help.. my coolpad Canvas is bootloop.. somebody have firmware to flash my device?? :(... i can not find firmware..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WetWilly:
BINGO! The lesson here is don't buy a Cricket phone if you need root. I'm now transitioning from a Cricket G Stylo, which was possibly the last Cricket phone that could be rooted with KingRoot. To be fair, 1) they may have cracked down harder after the G Stylo because a good number of them bricked when people tried replacing KingRoot with SuperSU, and people sent them back as defective, and 2) both AT&T (Cricket's parent) and Verizon are notorious for locking bootloaders.

I bought a Canvas (two, actually) from Best Buy for ~$25 each when they had a sale, primarily for use as spares. Bought them with *zero* expectation of ever obtaining root on them. Would LOVE to have root but not holding my breath.

Also empathize with OP. First thing I did after rooting and installing SuperSU on the G Stylo was remove the Cricket boot animation and use the (quiet) default LG Android animation. The Cricket boot animation is LOUD.

The bootloader is not locked you can unlock it in the developer options.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zMILWAUKEE:
yes the bootloader is locked and the commands in the terminal do not work on the phone i.e. fastboot oem-unlock, fastboot unlock and so forth. ticking the option in the dev settings is only to prepare the bootloader for unlocking and to remove FRP so upon factory reset all google passwords are removed. if anyone can get a hold of the correct terminal commands to unlock this then we are in business.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Guys,

New to this device, but not new to Android... Read all over the web, various sites (esp this one) about this device and seeing mixed views/comments. Some saying its possible, others saying it will brick or flag the Knox.

Is it possible to downgrade this phone (G900F) currently on the latest 6.0.1 stock rom. But was wondering if I could try either official stock of 4.4.2 or 5.1.1 of this device.

Or due to this bootloader, is it likely to brick or even trip Knox?

Thanks, Lister
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirty Flasher:
Official stock ROMs shouldn't trip Knox because they are, ummm, official. :eek:

I think the G900F bootloader is unlocked.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zlate2255:
Why downgrade in the first place..... ? 6.0.1 is way better than previous FWs...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi [MENTION=8184198]Dirty Flasher[/MENTION],

Yeah, that's what I thought... It's all stock, so all should be good... But I've read reports saying it will trip Knox as since a certain version of Marshmallow, the bootloader has been locked to only go with future firmwares and not allow downgrades. I assume to prevent people restoring to the older firmware (with bootloader) which was unlocked, that allowed rooting without tripping. But some say it will trip, others say it will not... I'm confused, and wondered if anyone has tried this, and what the outcome was... Don't want to trip Knox unnecessarily... if someone has already tried and tested it. :)

Hi [MENTION=6768968]Zlate2255[/MENTION],

I got this device when it was already one 6.0.1, so I missed seeing it go through the various stages. I would like to see how it used to look like and work. As there are some features that have been removed since, such Face Unlock and Iris tracking when viewing pages. Whilst the latter is still there burried away, it barely works, so should be removed completely. But would just be nice to see what it did look like.

Thanks, Lister

With my G900W8, I could downgrade to 4.4.2 with very-first firmware for G900W8 (NCG). Just try the earliest version of 4.4.2 and then upgrade back to 5.1.1
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tm60405:
You can downgrade the g900f to every firmware (if unlocked) you want. On some s5 devices who have a locked bootloader like the at&t version there have been reported some problems.

Therefore, you shouldn't run into any problems while downgrading.

If you want some pro and cons to the firmwares:

Kitkat:

+ dark design (the touchwiz apps like contacts)

+ more battery friendly than marshmallow

- less security due to no security updates

- you might run into some minimal bugs, for example on wikipedia you sometimes have to reload the page to watch pictures (at least on mine)

- no app permissions can be removed (only with root and app ops)

Lollipop:

Honestly, I havent used this one that much, but here you have a white design with the different statusbar and pull down menu, better security (but not as good as on marshmallow) and the material design, but slightly worse battery time.

Marshmallow:

+ OTA Updates still available, best option for security

+/- White design, material design

+ new icons (but tbh not a real deal)

- less battery friendly (atleast for me even tho doze is enabled on marshmallow)

So yeah, choose what you want :)

And be sure that you have an unbranded device (check your csc) before downgrading/updating.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi [MENTION=6127777]tm60405[/MENTION],

Wow, what a fantastic post... Thank you, exactly what I was looking for, and thanks for your reviews of each rom too.

- appreciate that, cheers :)

Quick question, how do I know if my Bootloader is unlocked??

Its a G900F (UK) was originally on the Three network, however I've flashed it to pure stock BTU, and to the EE network and back to stock BTU (all Marshmallow roms).

So where am I looking, or how do I know if the Bootloader is unlocked? Also, what am I looking for in the CSC info...??

Many thanks, Lister
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tm60405:
Install the app called phone info from the play store.

Then, you swipe to the csc code and you can see your info and remember the csc you are on.

If it is BTU, you can install another firmware based on BTU without problems. But even if you don't have BTU, you can try installing BTU because it doesn't contain much bloatware. In the worst case, you just install the firmware with the csc you had before.

Then, follow the instructions on sammobile.com and there will be no problems during the installing process.

After downgrading, you might get a bootloop. Then, you have to factory reset your device, so get the data from the internal storage elsewhere BEFORE the installation.

And if the download takes too long, try another browser like opera, for me it takes around 1 hour only instead of 4-5 hours on chrome.

If you might have another problem while installing the firmware, say so. :)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Dconn1975:
Hey to all,

Long story to short for many years I was Apple IOS exclusively. Up until about a year and half ago I made the switch over to android. Since then I've owned just about every mid to high end device and thoroughly tested it and have even won contests on Android central for my articles. I have to say that out of all supposedly android and to me personally, I still don't see honor and EMUI being android that I've enjoyed my experience. I settled in with an honor 8 for the longest period of time thus far. I actually won with one of my articles s honor 5x which after using a honor 8 was not a device that stood out to me. Anyways I had a software glitch with my honor 8 and after reading on here about the lack of after sales commitment that Huawei honor has lead me to just sell my honor and purchase the Z Play. However I've owned the Z Force back when I used to be tied down to one carrier but now I'm with cricket so I'm able to buy and test out much more easily. So I've learned a lot so far in the Android world in just a short amount of time spent with it but I still yet have tons more to learn and will always be learning knew things on top of that. That said leads me to the ultimate question and if you tech guys don't mind, step by step easily applied process to fully root my Z Play if you don't mind giving me your knowledge and skill sets. I for one want to change my font on my Z Play and my research lead me here which said it requires the Z to be rooted. So I seek the ultimate question from you guys, how do I properly and fully root my android Moto Z Play device? Also can you give me some real time advantages and any disadvantages to doing so? Sure I'd like fully customization capabilities so this is why I seek to root my device. This device will not end up being my daily grinder either. For daily use I will buy something that is 5.2 or smaller as 5.5 is just too large for me personally to use on a daily basis. I know font change isn't a big deal but I'm sure the root will open up a variety of small things which to me the smallest of detail typically is the biggest detail to me. Any help would be most appreciated and more so I thank you for your time to respond and help me out!

Its just plain stupid on LG's part. They should have equipped the phone the best they could to fight the S8, not cripple it from the get go.
