can't remove project spectrum v1.1

my phone is a Oppo R7S 32GB and I currently have Project Spectrum installed version v1.1 beta
I don't really like it so I want to remove it
When trying to install the old colorOS zip file from the default recovery
it always says 'installation failed'
phone is not rooted
phones bootloader is locked
fastboot screen shows for about 10 seconds then disappears
I can access the recovery no problem, the problem is I want to get rid of Project Spectrum and want to go back to default
any help is appreciated
thanks all

I'm not really sure how to help sorry, I'm having problems as well. The fastboot does close by itself if it's not connected to a computer, I know that much.

Copy this ROM to internal SD and flash from recovery

You need to find a coloros rom from 2015. The 2016 Coloros Roms have the bootloader locked
---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------
Here is a link to an older ColorOS that should have an unlockable bootloader.

hey i am also trying to unlock the bootloader. i just wanted to ask you that after it says 'Failed installation' does you phone boot into the 2016 rom or it gets hardbricked?

After flashing older firmware install twrp recovery and then flash lineageos.

Hi all, I have an Oppo r7plusf international and flashed LineageOS successfully but WiFi wasn't working. Found a thread where someone mentioned to flash project spectrum ROM as a fix and tried that. However after flashing PS successfully and confirmed everything is working I then try to reboot into recovery mode only to find out twrp stopped working. Anyone had similar experience know a way to get twrp back so lineageOS can be flash?

Did you add a modified stock kernel or anything like that to this?

Not sure what boot loader I have. Pretty sure it isn't nougat though. Think it'll brick my device? MM Rom and kernel from u and twrp installed.

I already tried flashing this on my marshmallow k550 and it bricked and kept looping when it booted up, you will need to update to nougat so you can also get the nougat bootloader and such. I am using it on my nougat k550 and it's working great ? just wished i backed up my data as i accidentally deleted everything ?

Yes, dm-verity patch is applied to stock kernel, otherwise if you install the stock kernel and reboot the device by mistake, device will be encrypted.

Nougat bootloader is required, it is mentioned in the Requirements for the ROM.

Yes, Nougat bootloader is required. Also ROM will not delete/wipe anything on internal sdcard.

I'm having problems with google play services, it won't update from 10 to 11 and so google assistant isn't working, any advice or help?

So you don't get option to update the google services? usually you should get a message like " this application won't run unless you update play services" then only you can see and update play services in play store.

So I had downloaded and installed the debloated marshmallow version and it's working great. And of course has the marshmallow bootloader so if I wanted to update from where I am to the debloated nougat version with the nougat bootloader how would I go about this?

That's not happening for me and idk why, maybe i need to flash back to stock

So I'm guessing it's fine to flash without wiping or factory reset i did works get very stable noticed the lag is gone with going from an open app to home screen thanks nice work

Is anyone working on xposed?

Awesome
Thanks for the work and effort!!!!

To clarify; will bootloader only flash from OTAs or do I just need to go through stock N before flashing this?

Any chance for metroPCS users

I like this phone but the rooted/debloated version would a significant upgrade.

Newer Stock ROM

Hi,
I am a noobie so just any help would be much appreciated: for some reason my Moto G 2015 occasionally messes up its baseband and wifi mac address and I have in the past successfully revived it by flashing an appropriate stock ROM with RSD lite. However, this time around that didn´t work and I got failure at .gpt bin. Since then, I have rooted my phone and installed TWRP and tried flashing it again but get a preflash validation error. Installing Lineage has fixed the wifi mac address but the baseband issue remains.
I suppose that this has to be do with the fact that my BL in the fastboot boot reads 80.cf (sha 8bfe213, 2017-03-13) which is more recent than the stock ROM. Is that a correct assumption? What can I do to get my baseband working?
Thanks!

Just skip gpt.bin and bootloader while flashing the firmware u r getting this error cus latest firmware image of Moto g3 has not being flashed,as it's not available

Is this possible to do via TWRP? How so? Unfortunately I am travelling and dont have access to a PC so I was wondering if this can only be done via cmd prompt. In any case, could you please guide me through the steps for skipping these two and flashing the rest?
Thanks a lot for your help!

You can use flash fire to flash stock firmware

Check your model no. before flashing it not available flashfire is the only way

So the flashfire method didn't work. I just ended up with a phone that needed to be revived manually by flashing through fastboot. I managed to flash the 6.0.1 version for the Osprey by skipping gpt.bin. However, the baseband is still missing. Can anyone help me out with a newer stock image that I can try to flash? Or is there a particular patch? Please do let me know what I can do get the baseband back....[and really what a strange issue to lose your baseband because of low battery...]
Thanks!

So flashing via fastboot a couple of times ended up fixing the baseband issue--it shows up in the bootloader and in the settings tab. However, the sim isn't still detected. This is a dual sim phone. I have tried wiping the partition cache and using other sims but without luck. Any ideas?
Thanks!

SM-J701F Oreo 8.1 [TWRP RECOVERY FLASHING PROBLEM]

[ROOT]&[MAGISK]For Asus ZenPad Z10 (ZT500KL) And ZenPad 3s 10(Z500KL)

Guide to get full root access of ZT500KL and it is supposed to work on Z500KL(ZenPad 3s 10) as well.(not yet tested on the latter device.)
As we know,the Verizon modified devices are often difficult to unlock and get root access.BUT,this device ZT500KL has got a 'sister' version,which named similar called Z500KL.
The bootloader of ZT500KL is strict and of course will not boot without unlock.
HOWEVER,the Z500KL's bootloader does not seem to fully verify the signature of boot.img.
Also i found a post by Shakalaca which contains a command to allow partition flashing even without bootloader unlock on some ASUS devices.
So,here it comes the magisk.
DISCLAIMER
THIS POST IS FOR EDUCATIONAL ONLY,OUR PURPOSE IS TRYING TO FIND OUT SECURITY WEAKNESS OF THE DEVICE,AND WE ALWAYS SUGGEST THE MANUFACTUAR TO ENHANCE DATA SAFETY.
YOUR WARRANTY MAY NOW VOID
I AM NOT RESONSIBLE FOR ANY UNEXPECTED CIRCUMSTANCES,INCLUDING DATA LOSS,SOFTWARE ERROR EVEN HARDWARE DAMAGE.
REQUIREMENTS
A ZT500KL tablet,running on ZenUI version 3.3.7//3.4.3//5.4.6//5.4.7 or Z500KL
Backup all your data,including internel storage,such as your photos or movies.
aboot file of z500kl,magisk patched boot image.(All files are provided below)
Adb and fastboot driver installed
basic knowledge of shell commands
INSTRUCTIONS
IF YOUR HARDWARE IS Z500KL,please jump to step
reboot device to fastboot,plug cable and type this command to allow partition flashing
Code:
fastboot getvar sofia_support
flash aboot image of z500kl(skip this step if your device itself is z500kl):
Code:
fastboot flash aboot ww5.4.6-emmc_appsboot.mbn
reboot to bootloader again:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
in fastboot,check your tablet,the 'TARGET PROJECT 'should be z500kl,not zt500kl
allow partiiton flashing again and flash magisk patched boot image:
Code:
fastboot getvar sofia_support
fastboot flash boot boot_patched.img
unplug your cable after flashing the boot,use the volume key on your tablet to select 'factory reset',it will reboot to recovery automaticly and wipe your data.
finish the new device set up and install magisk manually,at first time magisk will ask you to download additional setup,just click download now,and your device will reboot again.
now you've got a magisk full root.
THANKS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Shakalaca,thanks for his post for the partition flashing command. The original post was in his medium,you can search this in google[ZenPad S 8.0 (Z580CA) bootloader unlocked]
(i cant put link on xda cause i am a new user)
落落大 in CoolApk,for his work on getting the full boot image of 5.4.7 os version
IMPORTANT NOTES
As the bootloader is still locked,the device will refuse to boot without signature.if you want to modify the boot,remeber to sign it.you can sign it using your own signature.
the version of boot should be same as your os,for example if you want to root 3.3.7,flash the 3.3.7patched.the image for other version may not function well
if you are using Z500kl,you can extract the boot image from ota package from asus website,and patch the boot by yourself

Mine was BRICKED following this tutorial. Can't restore system and need HELP.
Looking for a way to flash stock firmware again. ANY ideas would be graciously accepted.
Anyone want to chime in on the procedure to "sign the bootloader" or is that not strictly necessary to root+magisk?

Hi @jose tronco any luck fro Asus Z8s from Verizon to do the same thing ?

PHP:
No ! You have to find your own rom's boot.img and modify it via magisk app. After that, you can flash this boot image via sofia support command at the fastboot mode.
You can find your own rom's boot.img at the zip file from Asus support's website.

Mine was bricked too.
When ZT500KL was rooted, bootloop may happen during the first 2 or 3 boot/reboot if you change any setting or install any app.
To avoid this, just don't do anything.
Let the table reboot a few times, make sure everything works fine without bootloop.
Then, do whatever you want.
If you already got bootloop, the solution as follows.
The reason why a rooted ZT500KL can't flash stock ZT500KL firmware is that, the root process has already changed the name of the table into "Z500KL".
So, the stock firmware of ZT500KL could not be flashed.
In order the chang the name of the tablet back to ZT500KL, you have to flash the aboot of stock ZT500KL.
Here is the download link.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HKXHEEB3LtFqfwU9DyTFutsWQjcEtPQg/view?usp=sharing
Just download it, and flash it as the way you root.
"fastboot getvar sofia_support"
then
"fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.signed.mbn"
then, reboot.
The tablet will be renamed to "ZT500KL".
Now, you can just download stock VZW 5.4.6 firmware from ASUS website, and flash it with asus flash tool.
If you still want to root your tablet, just root it again.

This is awesome! Thanks for the support! I thought this device was dead and no more development would ever be done for this.
I have the Z500KL and as soon as some ROMs come along I'm doing this. I'm also happy to help out if I can. I'm currently on the latest Japanese ROM JP_V5.4.0_20170711 (Device name is ASUS_P001, but is essentially the same as every other Z500KL and can be flashed to WW ROMS no problem)
I assume that once you have gone through these steps above, then as long as the boot image is signed (with any old signature) you can install a ROM for a higher version of Android, or are we limited to Android 7?

Hello, is there any chance you could write a step by step guide for dummies? I've rooted and flashed a hundred times, but I'm just not following some of the instructions, and others report a bricked device.

Ok where to start...to start I rooted my Zenpad and was dumb enough to use Titanium Backup to get rid of bloat and now it just sits on loading screen for the last two days...now I screwed it up really bad by erasing the system partition....I got it to recovery but won't let me flash the Z500KL firmware UL-ASUS_P00I-WW-5.4.6.0-user.zip because over newer build (See pic) is there anyway to change the firmware or the recovery (see pic) to an earlier date to install the firmware? If not in right forum please move....
SOLVED!!! Took all morning to do...used ASUS.Flash.Tool.v1.0.0.45 after changing
aboot ww5.4.6-emmc_appsboot.mbn to aboot emmc_appsboot.signed.mbn, rebooted fastboot, (DID NOT RESET and flashed ZT500KL_all_VZW_user_V3.4.3.raw. booted up to setup! Yah!!!!

This worked great on a z10 i got from China. For some reason it fails in the middle of updating to android 7 and the verizon update software doesn't work. Was wondering if I could use the update files from the z500kl?

i need a video for detail guild, please. Someone will post that on social media or youtube. My device is ZT500KL. With ZT500kl I have to do all 7 steps above, right ?
Thanks

Hello, guys! Just installed root and faced the problem: wi-fi died. It doesn't turning on and has MAC-Adress 02:00:00:00:00:00. How can I repair it? I have Z500KL with 5.3.6 firmware

Hi, I’m new here and really, really want to get rid of the Verizon firmware as apps are constantly crashing and not working well, likely driven by the Verizon garbage. I have a ZT500KL with VZW_V5.4.7_20180101, and ZenUI of 3.0. I read through the thread and have a couple questions:
1) The initial post doesn’t mention ZenUI of 3.0. Is it dangerous to try this given my version isn’t listed? If so, is there a way to update my ZenUI?
2) Being new to this, if I successfully complete the steps outlined, what do I do next in terms of the firmware? Am I right in assuming that the above steps remove all aspects of Verizon? If so, can I simply update to the latest version of Android? With Verizon gone will I be able to freely update ZenUI, as it seems mine is quite behind at this point.
Thanks for any help and guidance, I’m new to this and really just want a tablet that works properly and doesn’t crash apps constantly.

Hi,
Could anyone please share the recovery img of ZT500KL? I'd bricked mine and need it.
