OIC....

Thanks and Cheers!

BTW, is there a way to keep the phone from going back to Pilipino (language) everytime i restart the phone? and also to delete all other language except english?

Cheers!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Sorry about that mate. Strange it sets itself back to Tagalog on reboot. Not sure on how to fix that bug, but have you tried doing a factory reset?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tantarado:
Yup, i do every time it stalls or lags longer than expected. and it seems the tagalog langauge comes in with its firmware... the best i could do i guess for now is to have it rooted, but the big question is how?

Thanks and cheers!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Must be a startup or boot.prop definition or something, I dunno. As for rooting it, have you tried Kingoroot?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tantarado:
i've some disclaimer that it does not work on android 6.0.1 and above or i could be wrong... i haven't download the app yet...

Thanks and Cheers!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Should be worth a try, assuming that the Android 6.0 that came with your phone is nothing more than Lollipop or KitKat passing off as a newer version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tantarado:
Can you provide me a working link, not just a link that links to another link and to another? i have this experience in getting the kingroot app that is frustrating...

Thanks and cheers!

good day, i have mt6580 phone. its running adroid 6.0 marsmallow but the UI is lollipop. is there a way tp push custom recovery to my phone? tried twrp porting tool, flashify, none of them worked

[Miscellaneous Android Development] anhmiendatla_lx:
My phone is "arbutus max 7s",android 6,screen6inch 720x1280, mt6580. I want instal cwm recovery to root. Help me port recovery.img. thanks much. Send my mail duongnhatphi@gmail.com
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Kindly PM me the links to your phones' recovery images and I'll see what I can come up. No promises though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] victoriordachi:
Hi . I tried to port this recovery for my phone . Phone is Vonino Xylo X . But I have a problem . Screen is upside down . How to fix ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
If you're porting this from source, try changing the following line in BoardConfig.mk from this:

BOARD_HAS_FLIPPED_SCREEN := true

...to this:

BOARD_HAS_FLIPPED_SCREEN := false

Alternatively you might want to try the Infinix Hot 2 TWRP I based this on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SamsungExoplanet:
Is there any coding wizard here that can determine if this could be easily ported to the "Ourtime X01S AIR 3G"?, the newer revisions of it has the MTK6580 and it can be rooted with kingo.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trol_sg:
Dear blakegriplingph,

Thank you so much for your TWRP for MT6580. Would you please have a look to this device: Bluegood M9 (MT6580, 1/8GB, 8/2Mpx, 5.0" qHD)?

I attach you the recovery from the original firmware.

Hope it helps to more users dealing with this ****typhone.

Thank you in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trol_sg:
I also attach some more files extracted from the rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trol_sg:
Forgot one, sorry
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
OK, I'll see what I can do with that. I'll do two versions of the recovery as I don't know if your device has an upside-down screen or not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SamsungExoplanet:
What tool did you use to make those images and will I have to do a factory reset so that personal info doesn't get into those images before I create them?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Carliv's Image Kitchen is the tool you need for that, if you're porting from a compiled recovery that is.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SamsungExoplanet:
If I send you the files in priv is there any chance you could bang together a flashable twrp, the chinese smart watch only has a screen of 240x240 with 120 LDPI + it has no volume buttons, but it has one home button and one back button so there are some things to consider when remaking it, I would would definitely destroy the watch if I tried to compile it myself by trial and error so I would really appreciate the effort.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JaegerFox:
Error flashing some zip

Thanks for sharing this port of twrp, I had an error of the screen flipped but I solved using libminuitwrp.so of the recovery of infinix hot 2, now I only have 2 problems, one not so serious since it only tells me the indirect hour, and the Another problem is that I get an error when flashing supersu or busybox.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
On what device did you flash my TWRP for? As for supersu spazzing out, AFAIK this is a known issue with later SuperSU zips; you might want to try an earlier build or the one included in mine and upgrade it through the Play Store. Glad you reminded me of libminuitwrp.so too, didn't knew that would control how the LCD is used on the recovery menu lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JaegerFox:
My device is a clone of Huawei (without model) but inside the configuration it indicates to be an op v9, although investigating can be an oppo (I do not know the model) its specifications are 540x960 5.5 inches 512 ram 2 gb rom.

The error that I present I think it is related to the detection of the architecture since when executing the following command

FOUNDARCH = "` grep -Eo "ro.product.cpu.abi (2)? =. +" /system/build.prop/default.prop 2> / dev / null | grep -Eo "[^ =] * $ "| head -n1`"

generates an error using the terminal in recovery

and running that same command within android there are no errors

That command is inside the busybox installation script

BusyBox Recovery Flashable Zips by YashdSaraf

I suppose that the SuperSu zip detects the architecture to indicate which version to install and when it does not detect it correctly it generates error ..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Can you tell me the exact error message that you're getting?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JaegerFox:
it's just the recovery.log part where the errors come out

[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Hmm, I'll see what I can investigate on this one. Do you have the original recovery with you?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JaegerFox:
I had to upload the file to Mega (I hope it's not a problem)

Recovery.img

PS: How is it possible to attach a file directly here?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Alright, give me some time with this... I am currently working on another project atm.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JaegerFox:
Yes, thank you very much for your attention.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
BTW, just to make sure, have you tried flashing a random zip for testing? Like something as simple as the Trebuchet zip?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JaegerFox:
Install a viper4audio zip, trebuchet and install without problems
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Alright, I guess this may have more to do with Busybox being a pain then. Have you tried the recovery I sent to you?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] choujij:
Hey. I need to install a recovery for a rooted tablet (KingoRoot replaced with SuperSU) with the mt6580 chipset. Think this would this work?

I eventually need to get Xposed on it, so I'm first trying to get a recovery going in case I somehow mess it up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Are you able to get the boot or recovery image off it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] choujij:
I was able to get a Nandroid backup using Online Nandroid Backup, but I'm not sure if MTK Droid will work. I followed these instructions:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62869686&postcount=1

but as you can see in the attached picture, it's giving me an error totalbytesperchunk not found. Not sure if I can proceed using that.

As for the bootloader, I unlocked it in the developer options.

Edit: So I tried backing up with MTK Droid. As I expected, it gives me an error about no space left on device (pictured), which is untrue because there's an empty 8gb sdcard in it, and 20+ gbs of free space on internal storage. Then I tried another workaround, which requires I make a scatter file, but in block maps, the option to create the scatter file is greyed out. Evey thing I try to do, I seemed to run into a problem. MTK Droid doesn't really support MT6580.

Only things I have been successful with it is rooting it and creating Nandroid backup (I believe, since Online Nandroid Backup finished without any reported errors, except it's "unknown device"). Not sure what else to try in order to safely get a recovery on it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] problemathic:
your kernel version?

Edit: Sorry, double post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] problemathic:
your stock recovery image. i need it. ill port for you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Apologies if I was unable to attend to your request, I've been busy for the past month doing work on a bunch of tablets. You might as well want to call on [MENTION=8862167]problemathic[/MENTION] to have a recovery ported for you, assuming he has the time as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] problemathic:
yes send me your stock recovery. i have much time. will be glad to help you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Here's the stock recovery [MENTION=8824147]Des.Coene[/MENTION] sent to me for porting:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] problemathic:
okay got it. will work on this today.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] problemathic:
https://uploadocean.com/i762lcb4umnq here bro. tell him to download and report back.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Already did. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] problemathic:
maybe hes not active now. oh well :)

Hmm, we'll see.

[MENTION=8862167]problemathic[/MENTION] [MENTION=4092918]blakegriplingph[/MENTION] are you guys still on? this maybe out of topic but i've got mediatek phone with the same chip as this thread and didn't have twrp yet, maybe you guys can bake one for me? i can attach the recovery.img and boot.img. tried the "easy magic twrp installer" but no luck.

recovery.img

boot.img
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
From what device is this, if you don't mind telling? I might build a TWRP port from source if you want.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dims_Camper:
It's for brandcode b6s, i seems can't find any so this is why im asking.. anyway, thanks for replying :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Are you able to boot to fastboot mode? If so, does the fastboot prompt show as right side up or upside down? I need to know that first before I port TWRP to your device so I could use the right display settings.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dims_Camper:
It shows like this
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
So it isn't showing up backwards then. Alright, I'll see if I could compile a TWRP just for you. ;)

And btw, can you download DiskInfo and give me screenshots of the stuff? Need to know the right partition mount points and such so I could add those to the fstab.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dims_Camper:
I'm sorry but i can't, i kinda f'd up my device rn, and it won't even turned on ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Take the battery out or press the reset button.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dims_Camper:
It's kinda soft-brick i guess? I'm taking this to repair counter atm
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
I presume it's stuck in fastboot then? Alright, let the battery drain for a while. It should turn on normally by then.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dims_Camper:
Took to service counter, they imidiately replace the phone ? I'll send you diskinfo screenies right away
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dims_Camper:
Brandcode B6s Diskinfo screenies attached
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dims_Camper:
The fact is, i tried to flash stock rom from another phone with the same chipset, then voila.. it's bricked. Anyway i attached the screenshot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Could you scroll down the info whilst in landscape mode so I could see the rest? I'll see if I can compile this tomorrow or if I have free time. I presume the firmware on this tablet is the same as the one you returned to the store, yes? Either way I'd like to have the boot and recovery images from the new device to make sure.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dims_Camper:
The firmware is exactly same, checked the kernel version also.. screenies attached, that's all i got..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Alright, I'll let you know when I whip up a TWRP port for you. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
[MENTION=4877146]Dims_Camper[/MENTION] Here's the TWRP port you requested. Let me know if partitions mount properly with this thing. I am certain it would display and touch works properly since the screen isn't inverted or oriented in some weird way, but please let me know first before I upload the source codes as well.

https://www83.zippyshare.com/v/W23XFf5Y/file.html
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dims_Camper:
Alright, gonna check.. thanks for building it anyway :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dims_Camper:
It shows like this, /system, /data and external sd mounted properly.. i can even created a backup :D touchscreen works ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Looks like it's working, though some of the other essential partitions aren't mounting properly. Gotta fix that first before I push a stable release.

Can you send me a firmware scatter file of your phone please?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vicky_J:

Just flash it using SP Flash Tool and you should be fine, assuming the fstab file I made is right. As of now I honestly don't have the time to do everything due to other commitments, so sorry to keep your hopes up.

TWRP Loop

Hey,

via ADB I have unlocked the bootloader of my Cubot Note S and flashed TWRP Recovery ( TWRP special to my device ).

Now the phone boots into recovery over and over again. Within recovery it prompts an error message but reboots to fast to read that error message.

What can I do? Flash another recovery? Flash stock recovery?

Frank
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
What recovery did you try to flash?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Framama:
I initially flashed Cubot_NOTE_S_TWRP_3-2-1:

https://www.needrom.com/download/note-s-twrp-3-2-0/

I suppose it is the right one; but the phone is still in boot loop ( to be exact TWRP loop, so to say ).

Can you tell which one to flash instead?

I have now flashed Stock Recovery. Phone is working now.

But I still would like to install TWRP or any other costum recovery to install SuperSU in order to remove bloatware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
What SOC is your phone running on? I may try on porting TWRP to your device but I can't promise you anything as I am currently tied up with other things atm.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Framama:
Thank you very much for your help.

This morning I flashed TWRP again, for the 7th time or so, for whatever reason, now it is working.

Thank you again!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
That's 'swell. Glad it's now working on your end. :)

Port for ZH&K Odyssey Pure

Hello my friend... can you port twrp for ZH&K Odyssey pure? I have recently unlocked the bootloader and have been keeping an eye out on this thread and the github page to see if I can flash one for my device. Ive been trying as well to pull the stock recovery from this phone so I can sen to you but no luck because when i try to, it says permission denied. probably I have to root this thing first but Ihave no guarantees because im still on the stock recovery. Im using ubuntu 14.04 64bit in my machine and i have updated adb tools to version Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.40

Version 4797878.. thanks my friend have a nice one
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
If you could do a readback using SP Flash Tool or through NCK Box, I might be able to help you out better.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] christian1995:
My friend thanks for replying... I cant find a version of MTK Droid Tool version for linux as there's a method to perform a readback of mtk device that is performed in conjuction with sp flash tool... I do have sp flash tool in my linux... However, when I input this command in terminal "fastboot getvar all", this comes out; I hope this will give you idea of how this phones storage is partitoned..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
GXQ6580_WEG_L, eh? I can see the partition sizes but not the offsets themselves. Let me see if I could source a stock ROM from your phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] christian1995:
My friend this is my build.prop file I took some screenshots... I hope this will help you look for one that matches exactly.... I've been also searching the net for an identical one... Because I also wanted to port SlimLP 5.1 to this phone.. It says there that its custom build version is Z6U090QE... Many thanks my firend
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Out of curiosity, can you take screenshots of your phone running AIDA64?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] christian1995:
My friend that app is not free i gotta pay haha... anyway the ff screenshots might help I hope.. I managed to run MTK Droid tools in a virtual machine, made a scatter file and tried to do a readback in spflash tool.. but then again its giving me errors... look...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] christian1995:
My friend here are those AIDA64 screenshots hehe
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Interesting... As I mentioned before this appears to be the same codebase as the Galaxy S7 clone I have (gxq6580_weg_l), so I shouldn't be having that much trouble porting TWRP to your device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
I've found someone who made a CM2 backup of what appears to be the same firmware as your phone, but I am yet to get the password for it so far. Will let you know though.

That being said, take note of the starting address of the cache partition and use it as the length of your ROM_0 dump. Start address should be at 0x0, EMMC_USER, then length should be the address alloted for cache.

Try loading up this firmware on the download tab but DO NOT FLASH IT:

https://www.4shared.com/rar/6mMhYIk5ce/Galaxy_S7_mt6580_Z6U030HA_V105.html

Then switch to readback and do as I said above. Now once that is done, run it through MTK Droid Tools and make a scatter out of ROM_0.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] christian1995:
My friend I did all those you instructed me... But Im stil getting these errors... I went back to my own scatter file, still nothing. I used the scatter file from the firmware you gave me it worked nice in sp flash tool but when I ran it in MTK Droid Tools it says nodl_ stuffs boot.img signature is what Im getting... I just couldnt make an emmc-type scatter file everytime I try to produce one, spft demands that I have inserted a nand-type scatter file and my target type should be emmc scatter file.... Thats why Im just waiting for the TWRP port and just do the backup from there... I had a Huawei Y300 phone and installed twrp img there and did backup from there and since then I never looked back for flashing the stock rom everytime theres a problem I can just backup from twrp....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] buraq4:
Sir can you port a recovery for my mtk6580 Nougat 7.1 version ice phone i555 device? my recovery partition is showing 10mb in Diskinfo but my stock recovery in only 7.15mb. I'm a noob on this. I tried porting and flash many different custom recovery but non of them worked I'm attaching my boot.img, recovery.img, and the scatter file for you to have a look. I'll be really grateful if you do it for me. I was trying to unlock my bootloader with all the method i found on the internet but every time i do so my phone unlocks but when it restarts i go to developer option by tapping 7 times my oem unlocking shows unticked. Can you please help me with that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Can't guarantee you a recovery port but I'll try my best. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
i have problem with touch screen, it is working when TWRP is booted as boot.img but not when flashed to recovery partition. i found a solution here but it is too difficult for me. does anybody know how to patch the kernel? source code is not provided from cubot
