What if one doesn't have all the partitions backed up and flashed custom rom ( CM 13)?

fastboot flash recovery alkatwrp.imgSanthosh's CM13 zip based on M firmware has M boot loader. After flashing the zip your bootloader gets locked & gets updated to M boot loader.So if you want to revert back to MIUI based on Lollipop you need to take backup of each & every partition using Alka TWRP, other TWRP wont work.This restores the phone back to L boot loader & preserves IMEI.All the links are updated to the latest versions of respective TWRPs.
