You can use Titanium Backup for backup app/data

and stock ROM is always on Needrom

Hi!

I decided to buy a Thor, but I'm full noob about mtk stuff. I know almost everything about qcom devices, but I realised that it's a fully different stuff.

Can you please give me an unmissable noob-friendly guide how to flash twrp, how to take backup of stock rom and how to restore it?(I know there are a lot of guide in the net, and I've read a lot, but idk which work with our device)

+can you please answer those questions:

-is it possible to hard brick this phone?

-is there any alternative to sp flashtool for Mac?

-can you please tell me what is that imei losing stuff? (I've read something like that)

Many thanks in advance for the one who help me, I think other newbies will need that help too!

I don't think you can brick your Thor because stock ROM + flashtool is out

Flashtool work only on windows, so you need a Pc or maybe a virtual Windows on your Mac (VMware)

I don't know for IMEI

For install Twrp, just need Twrp recovery img (on needrom.com) and flash recovery with flashtool (choose download)

[Android General] :
Thanks for fast response!

I've read that a text file is needed for flashtool, what is it?

+if we have the stock rom, I don't have to make backup before first flashing(I don't care about data)?
[Android General] billouetaudrey:
The text is in the rar file, with the stock ROM (the scatter)

It is for say at the app flashtool where are and how flash file

I don't have backup, just app backup with titanium backup

If you don't want lose data (app settings etc..) just untick userdata in flashtool

Thanks very much, it's much easier than I thought before according to the guides.

Maybe that was for an earlier version.

In normal case I improvisate(and I flashed ROMs, modems, firmwares,kernels etc for qcom devices million times), but since I fully bricked my redmi 2 I get less brave.

So thanks for the info and I will join in a half year

Strange... I had been too fast and selected "tapatalk chat" instead of forum pn by fault... I guess that's why...

Basically I was asking, whether you compiled twrp, or ported it.

My ported twrp is working fine, but the one compiled within cyanogenmod 13 does not mount any partitions, because the dev/block/... by-name symlinks are missing

[Android General] ZeDdYRov:
Hey! I'm noob, twrp is a recovery mode that gives us root? Can I use it with 2nd OTA? I'm asking those questions because I'm afraid to update my Thor to 2nd OTA and many feedback on Vernee's forum is quite negative about spme issues. My only experience on root/flash rom was with my old Nexus S with CM. Sorry for no knowledge here. Peace

Thor's pre-installed apps

Hi,

I just got a Thor in my hands today :D

Do you know, why it the "Permission Control" (com.mediatek.security) app pre-installed on the Thor? As I know the Android 6 has native permission management. It seems this app causes problems with the permission management. Newly installed apps may get all permissions without asking the user. Other user on the Vernee forum said the permissions are resetting to fully allowed again after some time, If they are disabled. I searched the net for information about this app and it seems it is made for Android 4.4 originally.

Also I see Baidu's Network Location (com.baidu.map.location) app installed as a normal app. Is it safe to remove? Can Google's network location take its place?

Otherwise it is a very good device. I like it :)
[Android General] webnick:
Just received my thor yesterday but when trying to set it up and migrate things from my old phone i noticed a problem.

In “Settings” > “Backup & reset” the option “Back up my data” is enabled. Also “Automatic restore” is ticked.

But where usually my Google account should appear only a greyed out text presented itself: Instead of listing my Google account as “Backup account” it only reads “Backing up to debug-only private cache”. That doesn’t sound right, does it? What I really want is that my stuff gets backed up and restored from the Google cloud.

Anyone an idea what this means and how to solve this without root as i want to keep the original rom
[Android General] superdragonpt:
Not yet ...

Permission Control is an MediaTek custom thing, just like MTK (Developer) Engineer Menu

almost like Vernee thor (Symphony H400 - Bangladesh)

In my country (Bangladesh) a local brand named symphony just lauched a new handset which is almost like the vernee thor. It has the same baseband version (MOLY.LR9.W1444.MD.LWTG.MP.V79) .

Link to the product: https://www.symphony-mobile.com/product-details.php?id=241

There is some slight changes in the device in my country. and i have been facing some bugs like touch response and some app incompatibility issues. my question is if i flash the stock rom from vernee will that brick my phone? note that the kernel version is also same. Need expert opinion on this.

Thanks.
[Android General] megthebest:
is not the same..

as i can see specs of H400 are:

Symphony H400

1.3 GHz Quad Core (64 bit)

2Gb ram

So is not possible to use Thor Firmware ..

also design is sligthly different... (rear part completely different)

don't try to flash with Thor firmware.. result is a bricked phone
[Android General] tusher.rozario:
Oh that sucks because symphony has terrible support :( looks like im stuck with the bad touch response :(
[Android General] ZeDdYRov:
Hello! Sorry megthebest, but you have lack of information on your thread, at the red words should be this: "At First TWRP boot, please Answer NO to the request of system files modify don’t sweep right. Choose Read Only.(if you chose yes and swipe to the right, you result in a boot loop on reboot)"

I copy that text in your own space at: http://www.needrom.com/download/vernee-thor-twrp/

I didn't understand a thing at this xda thread and I swiped it, now I'm unable to boot it. I even loaded MT6753_Android_Scatter.txt and now it's stuck on boot. What I do now? I bricked it?

I can't even turn off my phone in order to get twrp recovery mode. Original Recovery still makes me stuck on boot. Please help me someone?
[Android General] megthebest:
It was written to answer to to system files. Modification.

Now you need to flash only system partition of stock firmware, using flashtool.

So load scatter of the rom with flashtool, un check alla partitions except SYSTEM, flash and reeboot.

Sent by Mi5 64Gb
[Android General] ZeDdYRov:
When I flash it, I have to select all of it? I didn't for both original and twrp. My mistake then. Sorry, I'm not used to do this.

The scatter of the rom is the one that says MT6753_Android_scatter.txt, in your .zip file called "Vernee Thor TWRP 3.0.2-1" am I right? Thank you for the feedback!
[Android General] megthebest:
To solve bootloop, select Only SYSTEM, and flash.

Stock rom need to be extracted in a folder and you must use android scatter of the rom (not the scatter of my twrp).

Is there a fool proof way to install latest OTA without having to start from scratch again and having to install factory rom then all of the ota's one at a time.

Here what I tried. Backup data through TWRP to replace later. I uninstalled xposed and su and then restored stock recovery. I then downloaded latest OTA and allowed reboot for upgrade but halway through the flash I got an error. Phone now shows that its got latest OTA even though it has not and therefore wont let me download it again, so I now have to start from scratch again. Tedious indeed.

After installing the last OTA update (20161008), I've noticed that when I switch on the screen (exiting stand by) wifi connection has a delay of 1-2 secs to connect again to my home wireless network and a small question mark (?) appears for another 1-2 secs on the wireless symbol. I didn't have such a problem until this last update. I discovered that while the phone is in stand by, wireless is completely disconnected (I checked with my carrier's app and MB are reduced from my data plan). Has anyone else noticed this?

I also have the impression that phone became slightly slower and battery life shorter. Nothing at all improved for me...

I decided to install android 7.0 yesterday after backup. I'm using it already.
[Android General] gulliverrr:
Thanks for all the hard work megthebest!

I've had a Thor before which I rooted with no problem for a friend.

1 week ago I bought another Thor for another friend which had newer software installed (20161309 I think) but I used the same method and I ended up in a weird white/yellow screen with a smoke-like effect (I have never seen this in my android-rooting-bricking life - really scary screen like the DVD menu of a horror movie :p).

I installed a stock rom from vernee to resolve the boot loop but now I have a broken recovery. This means that if I try to boot into recovery (VOL+ & POWER then select recovery and VOL- to select) the phone reboots after a few seconds and boot normally to Android. No dead robot, no other message or symbol. While booted I have no rear camera and the wireless update does not complete as it reboots to the same version (20160504) after it tries to install the update.

So.... is there another way to install TWRP in Thor? Has Thor changed something dramatically so that a newer TWRP should be used? Really stuck guys. Any help is appreciated

EDIT: I installed the wireless update (OTA) found before trying the rooting procedure first as [MENTION=5113130]baerenbisch[/MENTION] mentions below.

Guys , preloader should never be flashed in MTK devices with flashtools(number 1 rule) - Thats a given , i learned this from using flashtools all the way back to sh1tty MTK6571`s(they were crap lol).

The last october update i unrooted, flashed back stock recovery and updated then reflashed twrp if i remember rightly , thats the usual procedure.This is my gf phone , not mine.

If for some reason you flashed preloader and preloader changed in latest update and you are bricked ! Only if you are bricked !(warning)

Try , flash preloader on its own (only if you are bricked ) from 05 04 stock , wait till it flashes sucessfully , then reflash the rest of stock rom with preloader unticked -- you may have to root etc to get imei back etc - or you flash the rest of stock rom -- then flash twrp, root etc ... and flash back a back up you made before bricking !
