how do you backup your files with out twrp?

You can pull userdata with dd or mtkclient

can some one make a guide how to flash us bands with out twrp?

Just flash stock boot img after and you will be back to normal no biggie

Twrp lives in the 1.1.1 boot.img

Skip the whole twrp thing, as long as your bootloader is fully unlocked and your have brom mode u can flash the bands with SPFLASH tool.

Sn write tool is important for the IMEI but has nothing to do with the U.S. bands

Only thing is, writing IMEI with snwriter does not always work on stock firmware.

As @Zvi_Wolf lol, he’s been having a “blast” haha

If I understand correctly,

The steps are to flash these partitions

nvcfg

nvdata

nvram

md1img_a

And then rewrite the imei, so you do I need to backup the partitions at all? And you not use fastboot (which is the easiest)

Naa, why do you say so? Flashing a f21 with the us bands will not replace it’s original bands, will just be added.
