Then i guess you have no choice but to upload your boot.img & make it ro.secure=0 then . . . :laugh: Or try the manual mode if you have your stock recovery.img with you . . . :fingers-crossed:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Popey900:
Hi !

I tried the manual mode an put my recovery.img in the right folder.

But it gets the same error.

How i can make my boot.img to ro.secure=0 ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Popey900:
Hi all.

Now i have a Boot.img with ro.secure=0 (Thank you to hanuma) :o

Now i have the next Problem.

After installing, (Congratulation now you have PhilZ.... Boot into recovery? Yes or No)

And he cant't boot into the recovery.

Only Bootlogo.

Phil's CWM, supports MTK for some time now, i got some issues last time i checked (source built)

Can you please check, if the backup / Restore of boot.img / system are done correctly ?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
In the past, users feedback the same for my other porting tool & then they manually installed it & it works . . . :cowboy: Ported recovery.img is at PhilZ folder.

If still it doesn't boot then upload your stock recovery.img here & i'll have a look at it . . . :fingers-crossed:

Hey, and i though you followed the news back at the CTR thread then you would've know this . . . :laugh:

CWM/ PhilZ Touch never boots on MTK since last year on the release of cm10.2 & cm11 b'cos we are not using fstab v2 . . . :o

And just got PhilZ Touch fully supported on MTK devices, Phil3759 just a few days ago announces retirement & releases all the close source to the world . . .

Uh-oh :o I tried this on my Blu Studio C D830U. First using Win 7. Didn't work, so tried it on XP. Pretty much did the same thing (stuck on 'please wait a moment'). However, after unplugging the device, it said that the recovery was successfully installed. I used flashify to reboot to recovery. Phone powered off and now won't power back on at all. Can't remove the battery, because it's built in. Any ideas?

Can you help me please? i attach boot and recovery stock images and log.txt from tool.Thank you very much
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
if you have read my previous post then you would've know that i don't use MTK nowadays & the community is getting from bad to worse, all only know how to take but never want to contribute back.... :rolleyes:

i've mentioned many many times that i need feedbacks, lots of them but they feedback to other users mirror site, how am i suppose to continue development for the latest MTK devices that i don't own... As mentioned at the OP, i donno everything, i need feedbacks like this so that i can incorporate it into the future release of this tool...

Fyi, i've even pm MT6735 users, guess what, nobody reply, in the past, i've manually port PhilZ Touch for users thru pm, same thing, users got what they want then disappear... :rolleyes:

Now the final question : Are you ready to become beta-tester & contribute back to the community... :cowboy:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
Don't you have a TWRP recovery for the doogee x5 pro from the russians :confused:

I am sure the russians will pick up one of my ports for this SoC and port it for your device and give 0 credits as usual :cowboy:

My UMi Hammer recovery has been downloaded 1354 times with only 9 people saying thanks :(

I know it's been mirrored on other forums also with no credit given and even the splash screen changed. :crying:

I am sure you are one of the good people but I hope you understand why dev's like yuweng carliv rua1 and many others get down and give up sharing their works.

What you say is correct bro there are many people on xda now who only take and give nothing back :(

I too ported many recovery's via PM with people pleading for help but once they get what they want you here nothing from them again no credit, no thanks, nothing :crying:

I don't know if it's just this SoC that is affected by ignorant people or if this affects all on the forum. :eek:

We still have some very good people in the community but I am afraid most users now treat this forum as a shop and even have the cheek to complain about things if they don't work first time. :laugh: :rolleyes:

:highfive:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clio94:
@ bigrammy

unfortunatelly no.They have only for doogee x5 standard model which has mtk6580 instead of 6735

of course i am ready to become a beta tester.My lovely phone is htc hd2 because every day i was an alpha/beta tester :fingers-crossed:

so if you can help me,i will give as many feedback i can.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
Sorry I thought it was for your device since it was in the OP for your device. :o

Can you take a look in the /proc folder and see if the phone uses the goodix touch panel for me.

You will see something like GT9xx-config or goodix-config if it does.

If it does then there is a good chance you will not have a working touch recovery. :(

Unless they fixed the Kernel like UMi and Just5 did. :fingers-crossed:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
i've seen it happening everywhere on XDA nowadays, that is one of the reason many DEV stop further development... Worse encountered was a user that uses monetary sort of to lure me to do a port for him, later that day, Carliv reply( i was in pm with him at that time ) & he mentioned the same culprit offer the same thing, later i reply to this culprit, cc to Carliv, challenging him to make a donation to Carliv for his work on CTR then i'll make a port for him & guess what, he disappear without a trace... :rolleyes: He thought he can cheat me by using monetary while he doesn't even notice that i don't even publish my DONATE button & i am already doing all these work for free...

Fyi, it was bigrammy that found the solution for PhilZ Touch to work on latest MTK armv8 LP, he told me he was burned out & yes, i have experience that before, try sitting in front of the PC, working on the same thing on 10 hours straight for two days, Bro, i understand your pain... :laugh:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
Thanks bro :highfive:

If you need anything yuweng you only have to ask and I will do my best help :o

I realize you have moved chipset now and probably have little interest in the MTK SoC anymore which will be a big loss to the SoC also [MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION] is very quiet so if Mediatek change anything dramatically we will be totally lost without you guys :crying:

I am no dev and 99.9% of what I do know has comes from you and carliv :highfive:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
Thanks so much guys for your support... :highfive: i rather spend my time on PhilZ Touch so that i can concentrate on improving the exe rather than compiling & solving build issues even BETA-SuperSU-v2.52 complains about that too, as the saying Too many cooks spoil the stew... :laugh:

if [ -z "$BIN" ]; then
# TWRP went full retard
if [ ! -f "/sbin/unzip" ]; then
ui_print "- BAD RECOVERY DETECTED, NO UNZIP, ABORTING"
exit 1

i'll pm you guys when its ready for beta testing... :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
That happened to me more than once, but I never fell into that trap. If someone wanted to valuate my work they did it, but they did it quietly and without asking anything back (not too many although :) ).

However, I did ported in private for many users recoveries, for free of course, and just like you said I never heard from them since. Most of them didn't even bother to hit the thanks button.

Other users treated me as their employee demanding this or that, like I was obligated to do something.

That's one reason I closed my pm system. The devs can find my email address if they want to write to me ;)

So, now I'm busy with other things and I placed xda on a lower priority. Maybe, if I'll have time I'll finish my new recovery wich is supposed to work in lollipop too, but I don't know yet when.

Thank you guys for all your help and support.

So your real question should of been "Dude I have a new phone so make me a recovery because I can't be bothered" :laugh:

I get PM's everyday asking me to make recovery's :crying:

MOST already have a custom recovery but people are just too lazy to search for them. :rolleyes:

I could spend 24 hours a day 7 days a week making custom recovery's for people and I have done in the past with most getting a working recovery then nothing no thanks no credit they don't even bother to reply to your PM just got what they wanted and then disappear... :mad:

So you and [MENTION=7023767]hassan.seoul[/MENTION] should try make your own.

If this tool and MTKdroidtools don't work for you then it's time to learn to do it yourselfs :good:

EVERYTHING you need to know is Here in carliv Thread

Adding support for latest MTK devices meaning it will take awhile as i have to rewrite most of the part of this program, meanwhile, the workaround for MTK armv7 LP is...

Make a fresh backup with MTK Droid Tools directly from your device with the replacement of adb will work. Use platform-tools_r21-windows.zip as users has reported that the latest doesn't work, how-to here...

Make sure you have unlock your bootloader first or this will brick your device ! Refer to post#2 Q&A for details.

Next is using this porting tool & the ported PhilZ will not boot bcos of armv7 LP is using boot arguments.

Workaround : Unpack ported PhilZ with CIK, copy out the whole ramdisk folder.

Now, unpack your stock 3e recovery, delete the whole ramdisk folder & replace it with the previous PhilZ ramdisk folder, repack it back & it'll boot... :cool:

Since i'm not able to update the porting soon, workaround for armv8 LP PhilZ Touch reboot every 20 seconds, Huge Credits to bigrammy...:good:

Unpack ported PhilZ, use Notepad++ & add in the below BLUE to init.rc, repack & it'll work. Fyi, bigrammy has work on this two days straight so hit his Thanks button to show your appreciation... :good:

You can build yourself the recovery using the tool in first post.

But there are some requirement

Unlock boot.img, full busybox inside phone and Windows 7 (or up= as PC OS.

If you want I can provide the unlocked boot.img for your phone.

Then with MTKDRoid you can install CWM recovery,

Then via recovery you can install SuperSU 2.46 and Busybox via recovery.

Then you suggest to make a backup with MTKDroid + Flashtool file creation.

Now you can connect the device to the pc, and via the sofwtare in first post create your PhilZ CWM.

This is teh ionstruction to make it in all phone that I manage for friends/Colleagues.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
Hi bro,

Yes [MENTION=4478781]yuweng[/MENTION] did mention this to me but at the time I was totally fried :eek:

I did try remove some of the lines and it started looping again but can't remember which ones as I said I was fried. :crying:

All I knew was that adding those lines worked with no side effects so I left it at that and went back to my day job. :laugh:

I no longer have the Siswoo to hand I passed it to a family member but this was the only device giving me issues to test out the theory of the one line fix and you know what it's like getting a beta tester. ;)

If I get chance to have a day with the Siswoo I will try to narrow down the lines to the bare minimum required before it starts looping again. :)

Obviously if anyone else can test to confirm things in the meantime then I will be more than happy :D
