Through the native recovery, only the firmware with the corresponding signature will be installed (in the header they have at the end "-signed" (OTA updates are all signed for installation from any recovery))

An OTA update consists of a difference (“delta”) between the contents of each file of the past firmware and the new one. "Delta" through the script updates the necessary files. If the file in the old firmware has been changed / deleted, the script will give an error in recovery

Firmware with 4 wipes (/ system, / data, / dalvik, / cache). In the appropriate topic in the header, only this installation method is described for a reason (about this in the pros)

I had a problem with connecting to LTE from the very first day. The operator of MTS Moscow, for a long time looking for the cause, flashing various modems, changing SIM cards, called MTS. Nothing helped. After that, he was forced to start studying the protocols on which our operators work and what the settings in our phone mean. As a result, it turned out the following. (I ask you not to scold for incorrect terms, I'm not special in telephony)
If you dial in the phone call code*#*#4636#*#* then select the item "Information about the phone", scroll down and open the list of Preferred networks there we see a list that can be divided into 3 categories:
1. At the beginning of the connection type is usedTD-SCDMA - these types of connection are only for China, and in our latitudes will work with faults.
2. At the end of the connection type(PRL) - These connection types are suitable for operators supporting LTE Advanced ( List of operators ) In Russia it is only Yota B and l but th n and Megaphone and MTS Belarus . That is, these types of networks are suitable only for these operators.
3. All other connection types. Here you can choose the desired type of network, but for our device is best suitedLTE / WCDMA . Having chosen this type, my network ceased to fall off, and with a weak LTE signal, the network automatically switches to 3G (EDGE, 3G, HSDPA, HSDPA +)

1. You should have a sim card of a new sample (at the MTS offices now they issue SIM cards, on the envelope of which 4G is written). It may work on older SIM cards, but I recommend replacing it, this is free in any office upon presentation of a passport.
2. Your tariff should have access to the 4G network (SMART tariffs definitely have, for the rest, it is better to clarify in the call center)
3. Dial the code in the call*#*#4636#*#*
4. Select item"Phone Information"
5. Expand the list under "Configure preferred network type (the only list in this window)
6. Select item"LTE / WCDMA" (note that there should be nothing before and after this inscription)
7. Done, in a minute the network will reconnect and everything should work properly (I have been working for 4 days without any problems).

In the SuperSU settings, select "Complete removal of Root".

Need any file manager with the abilityroot access to Android system folders ( ES Explorer , RootExplorer (I recommend it) Total commander etc.). In most cases in order to get rid of root rights you only need:

1. Delete the files Busybox and Su in the folder / system / xbin /
2. Delete in the / system / app / SuperUser.apk or SuperSu.apk folder
3. Reboot device

Directly on the device itself using programs:В® DiskDigger(but his work is not praised) +Undeleter

If you accidentally formatted the internal memory of the smartphone, then you should not be upset, and most importantly,in no case do not need to write anything in the memory device so you can recover more data.
The MTP protocol does not allow the computer to recognize the connected device as a USB drive and recovery software cannot scan it and save data, so we need to copy the entire internal memory section in the form of a system image. Helping performance was carried out on Windows 10 x64 version 1607 (assembly OS 14393.187). Before you start looking at the free space on hard drives, since when copying a section, you may need a lot of space depending on the size of the drive. Since I have a disc with only under Windows and programs, then all actions will be described on the disk on which it is abused, namely on the disk E. In your case, it can remain with if there is enough space.
Preparing Android device:
You will need root and USB debugging enabled.
PC Preparation:
In order to copy the system section, we need:

• VHDTool
  
• Download and install the program on your computerCygwin(allows you to use UNIX commands in a WINDOWS environment). Go to the site and click on the linkInstall Cygwin. Depending on the bitness of the OS, select the appropriate file. After that, the download will start. Run the installation, selectinstall from internet . Select the installation folder C: \ cygwin64. Next, select the folder (you can any), in which during the installation component cygwin packages will be downloaded. Next, click Direct connection . Next, select the site from which the packages will swing. Then the list of packages itself appears, in which it is necessary to select the following items:
  - in the Debug clause pv-debugininfo
  - in the Devel clause all sub-clauses whose name begins with the letters gcc (they are consecutive)
  - in paragraph Utils sub pv
  
• Device driver
  
• ADB driver
  
• ProgramFileZilla serveror who can not downloadmirroron version 0.9.60

First install the USB drivers for the device and ADB (if not already installed). After that, I advise you to restart the PC.
VHDtool
Create a folder E: \ cygwin64 \ 000 (the name does not matter, do not just use letters other than Latin), here will be our image. Copy to this folderVhdtool.exefrom the archive.

Filezilla
During the installation, we agree to all standard installations.
After installation, FileZilla will start automatically, but you must exit the program and run it on behalf ofAdmin .
When you start FileZilla will ask the name of the server, leave everything as it is or click on the cross in the corner

Next we goEdit - Settings
and make the following settings:
listen on those ports 40
timeout settings - the default is 120, 60, 60, and we put 0 everywhere and click OK.

Go inedit - users .
In the users window create a new user.In my case, this is User.qwer .
PushAdd- write the name.
Putting a tick near the Password and enter your password (especially it is better not to be driven, since this is just a formality). I entered 0000. Next, click on the Shared folders

Add a folder 000 in which our image will be later copied, for which we click on ADD and specify the path to the folder and put ticks for reading and writing

Click OK. This completes server preparation. We roll it up (hide in the tray for about hours) and continue.
Adb

Swingingarchive with ADB. Unzip all the files in the folder E: \ cygwin64 \ bin and check the performance. Run the console from the folder E: \ cygwin64 \ bin, to do this, click on File ->Open command prompt ->Open command prompt as administrator.On windows 7, just entercmdin the address bar explorer
Enter the command:

The list of connected devices should not be empty, if after the lineList of devices attachedis empty, then you did not install USB drivers or did not enable USB debugging. When done correctly, the console looks like this:where digital letters is your unique number. Who made backups through TWRP saw them more than once.

USB modem mode

All further actions occur when the phone is in modem mode. disable it is not necessary until a certain point, as will be written.We will need to connect the device via USB to your PC and turn on the modem mode via USB. I use the firmware ResurrectionRemix-M-UNOFFICIAL-ROMILPARH-v5.7.4-20161005-bacon and I have this mode along the way:Settings>Wireless network>Still…>Modem mode>USB modemOn the PC go toNetwork and Sharing Center(pressing the RMB on the connection icon at the clock and selecting there, or following the pathStart->Options->Network and Internetand look, or on the buttonStartpushPKM->Control Panel->Network and Sharing Center). Click onChange adapter settingsand on the phone turn on the USB-modem. On the appeared connectionright-click and select Status. In the opened window, we look at our IPv4 address and remember (write) it. In my case it is: 192.168.42.178
Important!Each time the USB cable is reconnected and the mode of the IPv4 modem is turned on / off(I did not see this on win10, but it is possible on win7).

Now we determine which memory block we need.
All memory in your device is divided into logical blocks, we do not need to download everything, it is enough to understand which section contains erased information. Now we need to look at the list of memory blocks, for this we enter the following commands line by line:
p.s .: If you are too lazy to rewrite the commands manually or you are afraid to make a mistake, you can use copy / Just press RMB in the console. I wrote everything manually, as the console is buggy when inserted.
After entering the latter, the list_of_partitions.txt file will appear in the internal memory of the device, which we need to copy to the PC and study. You can copy it into our 000 folder using a simple command (it should be executed in a separate command window):Do not forget to write your way to the folders. My file looks something like this:In principle, the device has the same paths, but it is still worth risening. Internal memory in my 64 GB apparatus. Therefore, I'm looking for the biggest partition, in my case it is an MMCBLK0P28 size of 59.8 GB, you will most likely have the same name. Of course, no one guarantees what exactly the largest section will turn out to be in which even recently lay your photos, videos, documents, etc., but in 90% of cases it turns out exactly the memory that we need. Otherwise, you will have to copy all images in order and check each of them.

Copy the memory section on the PC.

If you have already closed the cmd window, then start it again from E: / cygwin64 / bin and enter the following commands:
Do not forget to make the appropriate adjustments to the code!

We decipher what is written:

qwer - account name in FileZilla (you have your own if they changed it)
0000 - password from your FileZilla account (if you have changed yours)
40 - FileZilla server port
192.168.42.178 - FileZilla server address (you have your own)
mmcblk0p28.raw - copy memory block

Open the second command window and enter the commands:
We look into the FileZilla window and see that the download of mmcblk0p28.raw to the E: \ cygwin64 \ 000 folder has begun, now you can close the cygwin windows and take a tea break (in my case, a bucket of tea).


Convert and restore

Are you back? File downloaded?Check sizes just in caseFine! Disable modem mode.Turn off the phone . Go to the folder E: / cygwin64 / 000 /, run the command line and enter the following command:
My conversion took a couple of seconds.At the output, we get all the same mmcblk0p28.raw file in the E: \ cygwin64 \ 000 folder, but a bit different. This converted file can be mounted as a virtual disk, or, for example, through R-studio, you can restore data directly from our image. I did that. To do this, open the program, click Open Image [1]. Choose a file typeEverything [2] and point to our file. Then everything is like when working with a regular disk.

The full version of the article can be found.HERE

All manipulations are done on a PC with installed windows 8.1 x64 OS, so the folder will have a postscript 64. Otherwise, all the commands are the same, but instead of C: \ cygwin64 \ bin you need to write C: \ cygwin \ bin, etc.

1. The first thing to do is to enable USB development on your phone (usually located at:Settings ->Applications ).
   
2. Install ROOT rights, as well as ClockworkMod recovery (CWM)
   
3. Install fromPlay Storeor from ourthe siteBusyBox program. It is needed in order to be able to execute UNIX commands on the phone. After installation, enter this program, grant it super user rights, and clickinstall . At the same time pay attention to install was produced in the phone folder / system / bin / busybox or / system / xbin / busybox , it is specified by default, approximately in the middle of the program screen.
   
4. Download and install the program on your computerCygwin(allows you to use UNIX commands in a WINDOWS environment). Go to the site and click on the linkInstall Cygwin. Depending on the bitness of the OS, select the appropriate file. After that, the download will start. Run the installation, selectinstall from internet . Select the installation folder C: \ cygwin64. Next, select the folder (you can any), in which during the installation component cygwin packages will be downloaded. Next, click Direct connection . Next, select the site from which the packages will swing. Then the list of packages itself appears, in which it is necessary to select the following items:
   - in the Debug clause pv-debugininfo
   - in the Devel clause all sub-clauses whose name begins with the letters gcc (they are consecutive)
   - in paragraph Utils sub pv
   
5. Download the add-on for Cygwin, which is calledNetcatDownload need zip-archive. For owners of x64 systems, download the versionfor x64. After unpacking it, all the files are transferred to the C: \ Cygwin64 \ Bin directory. (If you download the link for x86 then there are just their archive, going to the catalog to copy everything to the C: \ Cygwin folder, since the NC.exe file already lies in the BIN folder) the main thing is that the files are in the archive nc.exe and nc64 .exe was copied to the folder C: \ Cygwin64 \ Bin. The other files lying in the archive, as I understood, can be simply copied to the C: \ Cygwin64 folder (maybe they are not needed at all), just in case I copied them in C: \ Cygwin64 \ bin.
   
6. Next downloadAdb(a program that gives access to the file system of the phone, even if it is in a locked state). Unpack the archive and copy all the files from it to the folder C: \ cygwin64 \ bin
   
7. In the folder C: \ cygwin64 create a folder called, for example, OnePlus.
   
8. Download the archive fromVhdtool.exe(this is a program that, from a block copied from a phone, will make a format that will later be mounted as a virtual disk and used by file recovery programs). Copy it to the C: \ cygwin64 \ OnePlus folder (I just copied it to the C: \ cygwin \ bin folder just in case).
   
9. Now we need to understand which block should be copied to the computer, since there are several of them in the internal memory of the phone and each of them contains some piece of information (if we are interested in pictures, videos, etc., then you need to know the block that contains the relevant information ). Here ishereit is written how to understand what block of what it contains, but I did not bathe, and just chose the largest block. You can find out the block size as follows:
   - Run the command line (Start-Run-CMD.EXE)
   - Using the “cd” (enter the directory) and “cd ..” (exit the directory) commands, go to the C: \ cygwin64 \ bin directory to start adb
   cd C: \ cygwin64 \ bin
   
   - Next line by line (enter one line, press enter, enter the second, press enter, etc.) enter commands (to insert - press the right mouse button on the black field and select Insert (actual for windows 7, since older versions everything is inserted automatically) while not forgetting to glance at the screen, as there will be windows in which you need to confirm access:
   adb shell
   su
   find / dev / block / platform / -name 'mmc *' -exec fdisk -l {} \;>/sdcard/list_of_gnex_partitions.txt
   - After that, the list_of_gnex_partitions.txt file will appear in the root directory of the phone, similar to the following:

   Disk /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/mmcblk0 doesn't contain a valid partition table
   From this it can be seen that the mmcblk0 block (all blocks have a name starting with mmclbk) has the largest size - 15.7 GB (I don’t know if this is the main unit at all). By this, I decided to restore it.
   
10. Turn off the phone and enter the CWM mode. Go to the "Mounts and Storage" and mount (click mount) system, data and everything else that is mounted.
    
11. We connect the phone to the computer.
    
12. Go to the folder C: \ cygwin64 and run the Cygwin.bat file, then enter the following text line by line (to insert, right-click on the menu bar - the topmost line, where the close and minimize windows are located), select Edit, then Paste ):
    adb forward tcp: 5555 tcp: 5555
    adb shell
    su
    / system / bin / busybox nc64 -l -p 5555 -e / system / bin / busybox dd if = / dev / block / mmcblk0
    
    Pay attention to what you are inserting and if you have x86 Os then the commands will be:
    adb forward tcp: 5555 tcp: 5555
    adb shell
    su
    / system / bin / busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e / system / bin / busybox dd if = / dev / block / mmcblk0
    
    
13. Again, go to the folder C: \ cygwin64 and again run the file Cygwin.bat. Another window will appear. There we enter line by line:
    adb forward tcp: 5555 tcp: 5555
    cd / oneplus
    nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5>mmcblk0.raw
    The mounting of the image of this block in the * .raw format will begin (a block of 15 GB in size was mounted for about 20 minutes). If nothing happened on x64 then try to write in the last line: nc64 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5>mmcblk0.raw
    
    When finished, the mmcblk0.raw file will appear in the C: \ cygwin64 \ OnePlus folder. It should be about the same size as the block itself, that is, in my case, about 15 GB. The phone can be disconnected from the computer.
    
14. Now close both windows of Cygwin.bat. Go to the folder C: \ cygwin64 and once again run the file Cygwin.bat and convert the newly copied block using the VhdTool program. Enter:
    VhdTool.exe / convert mmcblk0.raw
    as a result, the message should appear: Status: Complete. In this case, the file name itself will not change. It will be called mmcblk0.raw, but something will change in it (I don’t know the details), which will allow you to connect it to your computer as a virtual disk.
    
15. Click the right mouse button on the iconMy computer , choose item Control .
    
16. In the window that appears, on the left, selectStorage devices , Further Disk Management .
    
17. In the top menu, select the itemAct and choose Attach a virtual hard disk .
    
18. In the window that appears, in paragraphfile type (where is it written Virtual Disk Files (* .vhd) ), choose All files . Then choose the file mmcblk0.raw .
    
19. After that, a new disk will appear at the bottom of the window. I called it Disk 3. To the right of this inscription it will be written Not distributed.
    
20. Right-click on Disk 8 and select itemInitialize disk . Next, put a tick on the item Table with GUID section .
    
21. Right click on the captionNot distributed and select the item Create a simple volume ... In the following windows, assign a letter to the letter (for example, Z) and refuse formatting.
    
22. After pressing a buttonIs done a new system will appear in the system Local drive Z and immediately pops up a window offering to reformat it.
    
23. Format the disk, while specifying the file systemFat32 , standard cluster size and be sure to put a tick on the item Fast formatting .
    
24. Everything, now the disk is ready to work with data recovery programs. Thus, I managed to recover deleted photos and videos from WAIPК»e from the internal memory of the phone.

If it is impossible to do from the 14th item, then it is necessary to do the following:

1. Download freeVirtualbox
   
2. We open the Command line, it is better from the administrator through the keyboard shortcutWin + X (cmd.exe) and enter the following command: "C: \ Program Files \ Oracle \ VirtualBox \ VBoxManage.exe" convertfromraw our_file.raw final_file.vhd --format
   The command looks like this:
   "C: \ Program Files \ Oracle \ VirtualBox \ VBoxManage.exe" convert: C: \ cygwin64 \ Oneplus \ mmcblk0p28.raw D: \ out.vhd --format
   You can also try to register without the command --format
   "C: \ Program Files \ Oracle \ VirtualBox \ VBoxManage.exe" convert: C: \ cygwin64 \ Oneplus \ mmcblk0p28.raw D: \ out.vhd

Total raw file size of 59GB converted to ~ 5GB minutes in 5-10. There is no progress bar when converting. You can only understand when the cursor in the Command Line jumps to a new line so that you can enter a new command.
Then from the 15th step we do the following instructions: mount the file and restore the data via EasyRecovery (or whatever you want).
