hello everyone, I've r7plus rooted with OPPO tools and I decided to finally update with latest coloros OTA! so I first unrooted the R7 and then downloaded the Ota..
it does start the update.. reboot start to install(takes about 4 minutes..) but at less than half of the process it reboots and then tells me "update failed"!
I tried also with the Ota downloaded in my SD card.. with local update but same failure!
any idea how can I do this update? thanks

Just so everyone knows, it is best to not unroot the phone to install the OTA updates. Of all the times I've done it (total of 5), I had to rely on a previous version or completely reinstall the OS. The best way to go about installing the newest version would be flashing the color OS rom through the SD card. This only works if you can still access Recovery on your phone.
You'll want to go to coloros.com/rom and select on what I believe is the OPPO R7 Plus S, the versions with chinese characters should only be for the R7+ M.
Download the rom and drag it onto your SD card or phone.
Backup the phone!
Enter recovery
Select install from SD card
Select the ROM
Install the ROM
I believe the R7+ S version should be standard for all non Chinese phones, if it is not tell me so I can dig through the OPPO archives a little more. If it is not the right phone OS it will say installation failed which should not change anything.

If you download the rom, even if it wipes all the data clean you can still restore it with Color OS's backup/restore function. As for a site dedicated to R7+ f ROMs I have had little luck locating one. I'm sorry I could not be of more help.
guys i found solution to my problem.. i write it here , it might help some of you!
so what i did was WIPE all factory reset
DOWNLOAD full ROM from oppo forum and copy it into a folder in storage !
go to system update and do LOCAL UPDATE and select the entire rom(1,39GB..)
let it install , reboot and then ROOT it with oppo tools!
so basically the only thing that did not work for me was the OTA update of 135mb done with system update!
i hope it helps

Do a full wipe, data+cache, download the stock rom for your model on the computer. Move it to the sdcard and flash it using Oppo Recovery.

First u need to root your Galaxy Note 2
Second thing is to go to recovery and factory reset your phone and whipe dalwik cache
Third thing is to download ROM that you want to upgrade and to flash it to sd card
Fourth thing is to select in recovery install zip from sd card and install it
And last is to reboot your phone into your new marsmallow 6.0
Thank you..

A factory reset is not necessary. Root, then install TWRP. If you use Chainfire to root it shouldn't wipe anything, but it never hurts to back up all your data first. You can use the TWRP manager to flash TWRP. Once TWRP is flashed, do a back-up. Hell, do 2 back-ups, one to the device, one to external SD. This will create an exact copy of your phone as it is at that moment (which you can restore if necessary). Then you can wipe the system and caches (but not data) and flash the custom 6.0 ROM of your choice.

No, it does not really help to reduce bugs. But you'd better get your data back up before you upgrade.

Hi,
(motorola moto 3rd gen 8 gb 1024ram; updated to 6.0 marshmallow, european phone, bought 02/2016)
I tried te root my phone with this guide: "theunlockr.com/2015/09/09/how-to-root-the-motorola-moto-g-3rd-gen"
I succeded to unlock bootloader, I succeded to flash twrp.
I flashed the superSU zip twice (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip)
--> phone does not start anymore in android. Stuck in first screen.
flashed super SU zip once (BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip) after finding out this one is for marshmallow.
--> does the same.
did factory recet
-->nothing better
did format data
--> nothing better
Now I can start and get in team Win recovery project v2.8.7.0 and the phone connects with pc.
I downloaded already firmware "XT1541_OSPREY_RETEU_6.0_MPI24.65-33.1_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC__v2.xml"
How should I progress without doing more damage?
I realy hope someone can help me.

Hi there,
You should always make a back up of your current system before messing up with your device. So that you can restore your nandroid if anything goes wrong .
So , to solve your issue ,
1. Download any custom rom from xda for your device and flash that zip using adb sideload. (if you are not able to do this or dont know how to do then go on to step 2)
2. Download stock img for your device and flash it using fastboot.
For further questions , you may try posting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148591
Good luck.

Hey all,
Has anyone tried rooting the new OTA firmware B560? If so, can you post which versions of TWRP and SuperSU were used? And if you happen to have the links to the downloads that would be great too!

Hi, for twrp I've used the version from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3156779 for supersu used the version 2.62 from chainfire website. Installed twrp through fastboot, then in twrp installed supersu. I believe newer versions of supersu works too.

My problem is I never make it past the Huawei Logo. So I have no idea if SuperSU actually installs. I have reflashed stock recovery for B560, but that still doesn't seem to help. The next step I'm going to take now is to reinstall the update package for B560 and then if I'm able to boot up I'll try your method. Wish me luck!

i use the above and it doesnt work. still no root eventhough it manage to install
i noticed during installation
it says
remounting system r/w
is this mean it fail to mount??
ok now this work.
before install supersu
go to mount menu and enable system mount
then only install supersu
--------------------
sorry to say i still cannot get full root. cannot go copy paste to system. it still read only. supersu not responding at all!!!?
i disable supersu ( the uncheck button) and exit. then launch again supersu, it update the binary successfully, and reboot. after reboot, i launch and re-enable supersu ( check button) then try to cut/past to system ...unfortunately unsuccessful

ok i go to phone manager and allow supersu to autolunch
now supersu works.
I just used the unroot zip and it worked. This is good as I can root, make changes then unroot.
Edit:
It seems removing root has allowed my file manager to still do root operations, possibly as it was already allowed root access prior to uninstalling SU. Other user apps cannot access root. I just put the Huawei Notepad app back into system/priv-app from backups folder in Storage. Permissions were ok without altering. All I needed was a wipe dalvik/cache in TWRP and reboot.
Unfortunately I reflashed the Stock Recovery and now I'm not able to do anything. I've tried adding the dload folder with the B560 update to reinstall the firmware, but it fails at 5%, with both the OTA update and the Full versions. I'm soooo scared that I have bricked my device. When I reboot into the stock recovery I get 3 options, Reboot System, Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache partition. And when I manually force it into fastboot/rescue mode the computer doesn't recognize the phone.
Please someone tell me that my device can be saved somehow! I don't know what else to do :*(

Which stock recovery did you use though? It must be the right one to work.
I found a flash fail at 5% was when there is no update in the /System/dload folder if you're trying to force it to do OTA. I did that by accident. Thought I bricked it but it re-booted ok.
If you use the dload folder in SD card, Marshmallow prefers to kick off the update from the dialler app.
If you used the wrong recovery, maybe it will flash from SD ok with a different ROM but we need to know exactly what recovery you flashed to it. That controls partitioning which you probably messed up.
See if you can re-install a driver and see it with ADB somehow.

I bought the Samsung J3 Pro from China and it doesn't come with Gapps.
The phone is not rooted and the bootloader is locked.
Here are the steps I took to resolve this and install Gapps, but my stock recovery cannot access external SD card and ADB push. But at least I can use GAPPS.
1. Unlocking Bootloader - You need to CROM to unlock the bootloader. Install this apk.
h double t p s: double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiS4U-ssG4pig6VYE
2. Install Root - Use ODIN （h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTE3Lp1mHOJnAr-r)
and flash this root file under AP (h double t p s: double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTCam_wn2LVf6X8C)
3. Install Super User - If you get boot up after flashing the root access, you are almost done. Install the Superuser.apk . (h double t p s : double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiS-44wy4I0c6UD4e)
4. Install GAPPS - As I can't flash gapps.zip using the OpenGapss due to no access to external SD Card using the stock recovery (no CWM or TWRP for this model) , I use this app from this website (h double t p :double-slashes world wide web.gugeanzhuangqi.com/)
or download apk here (h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTKheRRLQoimhO3a)
I apologise for inconvenient links as this is my first post . I hope the above can help someone ... but I still need some help to enable access to external SD card under the stock recovery, or wait for a proper CWM or TWRP recovery...:good:
h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTE3Lp1mHOJnAr-r

Just a heads up, I managed to root using ODIN and installed TWRP and have access to external files during recovery. I then installed GAPPS, but still got "Google Framework has stopped working" when trying to sign into Google Play. I'll let you know if I have any more success.

Yes a yellow triangle appears on the boot screen. I flashed TWRP, wiped the original ROM and installed a new one that comes with google play by default, google GPS services enabled and has the Chinese bloatware removed, didn't even need the phone rooted. I did however manage to root the phone before, although I can't remember the software I used. I left it unrooted in the end, just because I was happy enough with the system without.

Thank for your answer.

Firstly, I'm going to assume you know how to boot your phone into download mode and that you know how to use ODIN. If not, watch a youtube video, it's fairly simple stuff.
You'll need a decent size of SD card to back up to. I think the original ROM itself is >4GB.
Steps:
1. Flash TWRP using ODIN.
2. BACK UP YOUR FILES (Including system files) USING TWRP TO YOUR SD.
3. Wipe everything except your external SD using TWRP.
4. Flash the new ROM using ODIN, there are four files, one for each section in ODIN.
5. (Optional) Reflash TWRP as the installation of the ROM removes it.
As always, I can't stress enough how important it is to back up beforehand, you are wiping everything that's not on your external SD.
Also note that you have to wipe the old ROM, it doesn't work if you just try to install the new one on top of the old one.
I found the default English keyboard in this ROM had a few mistakes (It's originally a Vietnamese ROM I believe, although it has an English language option), so I downloaded google keyboard from play and that fixed it.
Enjoy

Finally, I flashed TWRP using ODIN first.
Then I flashed SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip using TWRP and installed SuperSU v2.79 after boot on my ROM original of China.
The root works fine but the GPS no longer works and it makes me angry
I used many gps fix and gps test without results :crying::crying::crying:
I'm french so I was afraid that the Vietnamese ROM don't have the French language
Maybe I'll buy a new model to see if root works without problems because I don't know if others have rooted the Chinese ROM Stock perfectly.
I so liked this phone :crying:
Very thanks a lots for your help :good:

No problem. Just so you know, it has all of the major languages. French, Italian etc. I scrolled past them when I was searching for the English option.

I bought the Samsung J3 Pro from China and it doesn't come with Gapps.
The phone is not rooted and the bootloader is locked.
Here are the steps I took to resolve this and install Gapps, but my stock recovery cannot access external SD card and ADB push. But at least I can use GAPPS.
1. Unlocking Bootloader - You need to CROM to unlock the bootloader. Install this apk.
h double t p s: double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiS4U-ssG4pig6VYE
2. Install Root - Use ODIN （h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTE3Lp1mHOJnAr-r)
and flash this root file under AP (h double t p s: double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTCam_wn2LVf6X8C)
3. Install Super User - If you get boot up after flashing the root access, you are almost done. Install the Superuser.apk . (h double t p s : double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiS-44wy4I0c6UD4e)
4. Install GAPPS - As I can't flash gapps.zip using the OpenGapss due to no access to external SD Card using the stock recovery (no CWM or TWRP for this model) , I use this app from this website (h double t p :double-slashes world wide web.gugeanzhuangqi.com/)
or download apk here (h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTKheRRLQoimhO3a)
I apologise for inconvenient links as this is my first post . I hope the above can help someone ... but I still need some help to enable access to external SD card under the stock recovery, or wait for a proper CWM or TWRP recovery...:good:

Hi,brother,would you mind tell me how to create the flashable custom root file , which mentioned in your post? i have ever tried many times , to create a custom flashable boot.img, like what you done, but failed to flash it to my SM-j3110 via Odin, i suspect something wrong with the space address of the image file...
Appreciate if you can share with me how to make the flashable custom boot image !! Thanks in advance

I'm sorry, I do not understand what you meant by creating a flashable custom root file. I just used the steps below to enable root so that I can install GAPPS using the 3rd party installer :
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install the rooted ROM (check only the box "AP" in ODIN)
3. install Superuser
4. Install the apk for GAPPS installation.
You need to follow the sequence.

Just a heads up, I managed to root using ODIN and installed TWRP and have access to external files during recovery. I then installed GAPPS, but still got "Google Framework has stopped working" when trying to sign into Google Play. I'll let you know if I have any more success.

My GPS is working fine using the steps I had posted.
Guys. I have tried and failed. Which exact zip do I need? Because the fullOtamf with pv fails. Which twrp do i need exactly? Because the openkirin one says error.
I flashed official arise viper system and it flashed but didn't install anything, further more my camera isn't working at all maybe because of selinux permissive I think, but I changed that to endorcing also, no luck, so I just need to dirty flash stock rom to fix it.
I'm a newbie to Huawei phones so preferably links of what twrp n file version u guys use would be highly appreciated.
It's hard to believe none of the people who viewed the post have ever flashed a stock rom via twrp. No one?
I really need some help here guys. Any advice is appreciated.
If you really need to flash it via twrp you need to download huawei update extractor and use it to create a flashable zip but that takes really long and one small mistake will ruin the firmware or your phone so i would recommend you to flash the stock recovery, update and then root, put twrp back etc.

Ok so somehow pushing volume up at boot gets me into "Huawei E-recovrry" and it says 3 things only 1) download latest software and recovery, 2) restart 3) shutdown. If I click first option it says Note: user data will be wiped after recovery install :/
Is this the one ur talking about? Can I do it without data wipe in anyway?

You could try pressing the "download latest software and recovery" button but i dont think it will work. I would recommend you to flash the stock recovery via adb and/or fastboot (create backups of course) and then update via team mt's firmware finder. After its done, unlock the phone again and root it. I dont know if it will wipe data because you have twrp on your phone. (I dont think it will wipe data but i still recommend you to make backups) NEVER EXTRACT THE UPDATE.APP AND TRY TO INSTALL THE IMAGES. I DID IT AND I GOT IN ERROR MODE.

Damn! I can't believe it's such a complicated process! I miss my Nexus now lol, it was such a breeze to flash stuff on it..
So basically there's no "dirty flashing" the stock rom... I have to install the whole firmware like it's new and then do the entire process of unlocking bootloader(which wipes everything), rooting, getting twrp, n start as new since a backup flash via twrp of my current system after that would again reinstall the incompatible viper mod that has defected my camera right now... Sigh.
I wish Huawei made it easier for people to do these things for people who want to.
Thanks for all the help! :good: I really wish there was a better way than having to start as new.

Dload doesn't clear data at all. But those files should be flashed via dload but issue is when you unlock bootloader, it will reset again.
You can flash certain files via twrp but that is data zip and not main zip file. Let me know the version you want and will try my best to help buddy.
Please give Current build and model number and new build number you are trying.
You can just restore data and it will not restore your viper mod as that is going to system partition as you flashed zip. So restoring only data will not bring back the viper mod.

Data zip is huawei apps etc? Or u mean my own backup data?
But Thanks alottt bro!
Model BLN-L21
Build C185-B361
I was just trying to flash same system again so that viper will be erased
I didnt try any new build yet because I'm really new to all these softwares like FWfinder and the other ones, I downloaded them but couldn't understand much sadly.
so I just did ur dload method for b361 since that is the only one I found with fullota-mf-pv version.
Is there any new build for dload available? Because I don't know how to update :/ I'm sorry for all the noob requests, I used to be such a pro at nexus lol

Let me check this mate for you. Will take sometime as will be occupied most of the time today so may or may not able to provide. You can install main zip that will remove viper but it will relock bootloader so unlocking it will erase data. Best way i think of is-
Do full twrp backup
Copy the twrp to sd card or pc
Use dload
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp
Root it
Restore backup only for data and it will not install viper.
Or
Do titanium backup of all the user app and data.
Copy to pc or sd card.
Use dload
Unlock bootloader, twrp and root.
Boot and restore titanium backup
I know these are tedious task but want to have your data intact while without messing up with the phone.
Let me know in case you need files to flash or can search..good luck.
