[Guide] Android Star B92M CWM + 2.5G DATA + ROOT

First of all, all props goes to the OP of this thread. This is merely a step-by-step detailed guide on the process since there were a lot of members complaining that the steps were unclear.
- Download the following and extract all the files:
MT6577 USB VCOM drivers (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?2sf30pboet4qvov)
SP Flash Tool v3.1224.01.rar (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?h68v8yhhtci8h0e)
CWM-ROOT-B92M.zip (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?8o2yx9ssz1abwon)
2.5gb-data-perm-root.zip (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?4wg5f6rgat8qdrt)
- Install the MT6577 USB VCOM drivers drivers
- Inside the 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder make sure the files have the following names (CASE SENSITIVE!):
recovery.img
EBR1.img
boot.img
logo.img
MBR.img
preloader.img
Screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Turn off your phone and unplugg the USB cable
- Start SP Flash Tool
- Under options in the menubar check "USB mode"
- Under File in the menubar click on "Open scatter-loading file" and select MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt from the CWM-ROOT-B92M folder
- Double click the following rows inside SP Flash Tool:
PRELOADER and select preloader.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)
MBR and select MBR.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)
EBR1 and select EBR1.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)
BOOTIMG and selet boot.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)
RECOVERY and select recovery.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)
LOGO and select logo.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)
You should have the following then:
- Click on "Download" inside SP Flash Tool
- Take out the battery of the phone
- Put the battery in
- Connect USB cable with your computer
- The bar at the bottom of SP Flash tool should go to 100% a few time and present you with a green circle when done
- Done flashing, hit volume up + power to start up CWM and make a backup
I hope this detailed guide helps everyone out

Red triangle
Hi, i cant get to the recovery mode...
I press Power und volume up but there is just the Android with a red triangle.
Can you help?

What ROM can you use with this ?

Some of the files are named a little bit differently, but overall pretty much straightforward steps thanks to the guide above.

first thanks for the guide!!!
but u should add this to make root working

I did not have to do that. I simply added a Google account, started the Google Play Store and it told me there was an update for "superuser".
Did the update, rebooted and done!

Your best option is to contact the seller and ask him for more information about this.

After flashing with 2.5GB ROM, I have issue with my camera: it detects 80MB partition as the SDcard partition.
Anyone know how to change this? Or.. which file should I look for to change the camera save location?

Make sure you have an external sd-card inserted in the phone. It should automatically be mounted to /sdcard/ where you should have enough space to store your camera photos.

What charger are you using and how fast/slw will it charge a empty battery?
Mine takes for ever (8hrs from 0%), the charger fastcardnet send me, but also a standard usb charger i got.

I'm just using the default micro USB chargers I have laying around. I never charge via a computer (USB) though.

Yes worked!

Hi,
I have followed this guide but I didn't get root access.
I also wiped data and did the factory reset but there is no superuser...
What do I have to do now?
And I have another question: What do I need to do to go to the Internet by connecting to my Laptop (in it's function as a Wifi-hotspot) and using his wired-internet-connection? I only got it by Ad-Hoc but it seems that this doesn't work anyway...
Thx,

Try flashing again and Superuser should be working. Once flashed I suggest you start the play store and you'll see that there is an update available.
About the Wi-fi: that's something computer related so don't know for sure about that one. I just Googled and came across this website:

I have the same problem, how did you fix it?
I had a 2.5 GB space on my Internal SD Card before I do this root, now it is 83 MB, I could try a factory reset but I still need the rooting so I will run into this problem again.

When I first did the root I did not the su.zip step so I booted my phone and it informed me that my internal SD card is damaged amd asked me if I wanted to format it, I clicked yes and then it became 83 MB, I did the root again and flashed su.zip too, I also tried to format the internal SD card but it is still 83 MB.
I think I need to reformat with specifying the new size, how can I do that?

Need Help Dump Partition And Recovering Application Database on Moto G XT1033

Hello, I'm sorry if my english was bad since its not my native language .
Recently I accidentally clear data of naver line applications and now I'm trying to recover the apps database since all my naver line contacts were gone, I already try using the method provided on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705 it gives me 0 bytes of raw data, all step by step including using cygwin 32bit still 0 bytes, so is there any other way to image the userdata partition? Or is there a way to recover applications database properly? My Moto G were XT1033 version with android 5.1 lollipop.
Every help were appreciated, Thank you .

adb reboot recovery
adb pull /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata userdata.img​
This is done in TWRP. It's important to pull the .img directly to PC rather than dumping on internal storage.

I think I recall the demo version of GetDataBack did not work as well as the full version. Even after bootloader unlock (data wipe) - you should still be able to recover files.

Hi! It seems i found the problem, the problem is because userdata partition detected as a Unallocated Space thats why all apps like Autopsy, FTK imager, GetDataBack, cant determine the file system for userdata partition, do you know the way around this?

[STF-L09C432] How to install Oreo on your H9

So when it comes to the newly released EMUI8 for Honor 9 things get a little bit tricky, as we don't have any official update for our region yet (only for C900 and AL variants - chinese).
Every file i provided have been built during the way finding how stuff works on oreo - and alot of stuff changed EDIT: Official update is out for C432 - i recommend to not use the provided TWRP for daily, reliable usage.
PART 1
0. download the B360a zip from my mega folder
1. read README.txt from fw zip and follow the steps carefully (easy install)
2. have fun with official oreo
Rollback instructions
1. copy the rollback zip and nocheck recovery (!!oreo version!!) to the root of your MicroSD card
2. enable usb debugging in developer options
3. connect your phone to your computer, start an adb shell and issue the following commands:
Code:
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/erecovery_ramdisk
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_rollback_al10c00b190.zip > /cache/recovery/command
4. last but not least reboot recovery, again in adb shell:
Code:
reboot recovery
5. your device should start to flash a chinese version of nougat (EMUI 5.1)
hint: if you get an error during the installation, just press the reboot button, it still boots.
device crashes during boot? do a low-level data partition format, boot into erecovery when you get asked to.
6. prepare the MicroSD (8gb atleast, exFAT formatted)
download the C432 firmware and extract it
copy the dload folder you extracted to the root of your MicroSD
7. if required unlock your bootloader
8. flash the nocheck recovery (nougat version) to recovery and recovery2 partition using fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery STF_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img
fastboot flash recovery2 STF_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img
9. boot your device into force dload mode (keep vol+, vol- and power pressed until the installation starts)
10. you should boot into a fresh L09C432B100 installation
I've uploaded every file you need for the process to mega.nz - please do not mirror any of the stuff provided!
[url]https://mega.nz/#F!W1QUAIbZ!7Gbf79dC6NwD1e_zdY_O3Q[/URL]
Huge thanks to @LastStandingDroid for providing the modified SuperSU installation package.
Best Regards,
OldDroid

To fix the file manager, open your root file explorer and follow the steps carefully:
1. create a folder called "normal" in /cust/hw
2. create a second folder in the previously created one, name it "app"
3. now move HwCloudDrive_Local folder from /cust/hw/eu/app to /cust/hw/normal/app
4. reboot

Thank you!
I'll try it!

Hi! And first of all, thanks a lot for this guide as you just gave hopeless H9 owners a bit of light...
Now I haven't gone through the process yet but I got a bit confused as of part.3 (that is recommended but not needed), should we unroot BEFORE flashing Ramdisk and Recovery Ramdisk? I then have an old UnSu script by Osmosis, would it work or the "Full Unroot" option from the SuperSu app is okay?
Thanks in advance for your reply and Thanks again for this guide!! Cheers

Easy fox if you guys try this.
Download the recovery tool posted. Fallow those instructions. Then download the NA ROM red magic and put the zip in the root of the phone. On the phone go to system update and update front hat zip and you are back up and running on V1.18

He left out an important step. This needs to be done BEFORE doing anything on the phone.
"4. open cmd, then type adb reboot bootloader , then phone will reboot to fastboot mode.
5. Use fastboot flashing unlock, use volume key select unlock , confirm with power button , then the phone will do factory reset and reboot. Now the phone is unlocked"

Can I do that on my red magic 3s?
Thank

thanks finally

So I can flash without unlocking bootloader? I've got to much info on this phone to just let it be erased. And don't have the time to copy everything before doing it. I appreciate your time

So I can flash without unlocking bootloader? I've got to much info on this phone to just let it be erased. And don't have the time to copy everything before doing it. I appreciate your time

Unlocking bootloader not loss data

How To Guide Two ways to backup TB-J706F without unlocking bootloader.

For many users, unlocking the bootloader is unacceptable, because the tablet will stop updating via OTA. However, there are ways to save important partitions without unlocking them, which can be useful in case of damage during flashing or update.
1. The first method is described here. It works, I tested it. The Read button reads the partition to a file, the Load button writes from the image file to the partition.
Disadvantages: you can't copy the whole FS of the tablet at once, you have to copy the partitions one by one.
2. The second way goes here. It works on Linux, Windows, and MacOS. I checked it on the Live CD Mint 20.2. The tablet was recognized, the partition table was read and I successfully copied one boot partition.
Disadvantages: Difficult for Windows users.
Cons: You can copy selected partitions in any combination or the whole tablet at once.

It is very likely that these 2 methods will work for other models of tablets as well...

Were you able to use the --skip parameter with edl?
I used --skip=super,userdata the other day but it still backed up those partition (long wait for userdata )

Yes, you are right. This command not works, it made backup of all partitions. I made issue for author.

My PR has been merged, skipping should work now.

Yes, my issue is same. Can't try this just now, so sad.

Tested fixed version some days ago - now --skip option works fine. Dump of all partitions in one folder (except biggest userdata:
Spoiler: Scr
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I have a question, what about userdata when it is encrypted?
How to get/set the key from the TEE?
Or are the chinese ROMs are unencrypted?
Best regards

My userdata permanently unencrypted with no-verity-opt-encrypt. TWRP says "Decrypted with default password"

Hi mate,
I've used the method #1 that you linked, to take a full backup of my pad pro (thanks for sharing this, helped a lot since I really wanted to have a backup to restore to out-of-box if needed in the future).
I ended up with 91 partitions saved, but it seems a lot of these partitions would never really get touched or changed, no matter what you do to your tablet (in terms of rooting, custom roms etc), so I wanted to ask you if you could give a break down of what you think are the essential ones that would need to be restored to revert back to "out of the box". For example. I suspect a lot of the partitions house data such as serials, mac addresses, component firmware etc, etc, and such-like which would not need to be written back to the device during a restore.
I'm attaching a pdf I made showing all the partitions available through use of QFIL, if you could reference it in any advice/help with your answer I would be grateful. Thanks

The firmware writes to different sections, in particular to frp and frpinfo and others. If you want to get the tablet back to the same state as you backed it up, you must have a copy of all partitions.
For a regular backup you don't need a copy of all partitions, just the ones you need.
Besides, I recommend to have backups of those partitions that are not in the firmware in case the internal memory fails or human errors (like ticking "Erase all before download" in QFil settings)

You need to download rom (firmware) for your device, unzip it in separate folder and point to folder from QPST.

@f1tm0t thank you for your reply.
The reseller send it (TB-J716F) to me with custom global rom and unlock bootloader, so i follow the guide to flash stock Chinese rom and lock bootloader, it worked but widevine L3. Then i put the update.zip to push it through version 14.0.127 with locked bootloader but still widevine L3.
I'm going to backup 5 important partitions: fpinfo, persist, uefivarstore, secdata, frp, then redo all processes again.
BTW do you have any idea what is this: https://github.com/zenlty/Qualcomm-Firehose

in the extracted ROM (ZUI 12) there is 2 firehose which one should i use?
