Got Sp flash working. Update V6 to V7 with flashtool and then it updating to V14, then rooting again with Magisk via fastboot sideload without installing twrp.

Everything working :)
[Android General] butchieboy:
Do you have the v7 Scatter file? The ones I have used always come back with an error
[Android General] KokkoM:
yes
[Android General] Y300-0100:
Any significant changes with V14?
[Android General] KokkoM:
Not much changes, small bugfixes etc. maybe better screen on time now. i inform more if found something..
[Android General] pandollar:
How do you root with fastboot, can you explain please.
[Android General] KokkoM:
in PC: fastboot boot recovery.img --> use TWRP for older rom eg V6, V7

in TWRP: mount system

In TWRP go to: Advanced >> ADB sideload and swipe to enable sideload mode

in PC: adb sideload supersu_or_magisk_package_name.zip

Reboot System

Hope this help.
[Android General] butchieboy:
Command should be

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

If you only put boot recovery it just boots not actually flash it...i think thats the way it is.

Thanks for posting scatter file but once again says invalid
[Android General] butchieboy:
Everytime I try to flash V7 Scatterfile I get this error. All others flash fine.
[Android General] KokkoM:
Yes, it boot only twrp and work still. i never install twrp on any device becouse it slow, i use Flashfire for flashing, backup etc.. :)

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------

Are you tested different version of flash tool old/never?
[Android General] gosa:
I'm sorry, but I've read last page over and over again and I'm still confused... can you root without having installed twrp? Just flash Magisk through fastboot?

- Or am I missing something?
[Android General] KokkoM:
Just like i write earlier, it only boot phone to twrp but not install it on phone so default recovery stay untouched. it need boot only one time for supersu/magisk, later use Flashfire apk.
[Android General] gosa:
I'm sorry... it's been quite some time since I read this thread the last time, so I probably have to go back and start from the beginning all over again because that one does not make sense to me. And reading your post:

... gives me the impression that you get Magisk onto the phone without involving twrp.

So you use twrp, but without installing it? How do you boot to twrp if it's not installed?

Sorry for being a bit thick, I'll just go back to the beginning to see if I can get that one to make a bit more sense.
[Android General] butchieboy:
Yes tried different versions of flashtool. Like I said v2 or v5 flashes fine. Whenever I try v7 no matter where I get the file from it says invalid.
[Android General] KokkoM:
fastboot boot recovery.img command while recovery.img is adb folder on computer just boot twrp and not install it like i said earlier post, just try you see :)
[Android General] butchieboy:
I get what KokkoM is saying. Just make sure whatever you want to flash with Twrp is already installed to your device or sd card. Then once you boot into Twrp you can flash supersu or Magisk. I prefer supersu as with Magisk some rooted apps I use do not work. But everytime you need Twrp you will have to use adb to boot it again if I understand it right.
[Android General] KokkoM:
[/COLOR]

what do you meen already installed? i gues you mean copy the file computer or sd?

sorry again my bad english :)

Just use flashfire apk, no need adb :)

Yes meant if whatever he wants to flash is saved to SD card or internal storage
[Android General] gosa:
Kiitos! (That would be "Thank you!" for you butchieboy ;))

I didn't think that was possible, hence my confusion. I checked your link and this seems like something I might try one of these days. It's like the best of two worlds - being able to back up my phone and install root without touching too much. (Actually couldn't care less about installing another recovery - it's root that I want).

Status of roms ?

Im following your work with great interest here. Are the roms all fixed by now and of full functionality with touch, finger print scanner, reversed buttons etc ?

Im finding the u16 very slow compared to my three year old huawei. Hardware spec of u16 is great, is there speed improvements that can be done to software ? I have cleaned my device quite thoroughly. Is v6 snappier than v7 as v7 dont carry much more functionality than v6 but eyecandy ? If someone repost links to latest current roms you will save me time as i most prolly will mix them up =0)

Kindly, K.Jolf.

It seems like the more "general" thread that's being referred to in OP have been closed, so I'll ask here instead...

(Sorry for that)

Is any of you using Poweramp?

I'm having problems getting the phone/Poweramp to accept that I unticked actions on plug/unplug wired headphones. Whenever I have the app open in the background with a song paused it always start playing when I plug/unplug my headphones. Can any of you reproduce that?

Thanks in advance...
[Android General] Alberto96:
Oh thanks for the alert, I'll open another thread then, the OP of that thread has been banned for spam.

About Poweramp, I think it is related to the headphones's third-pin for volume/play controls. When you plug the connector, a false contact might generate a key press, making the phone think that you pressed the play/answer button. I'm not 100% sure though, but I had this issue in the past with another device. (Fixed with a Kernel Patch)

I don't know when/how it happened, but I can set it up and turn it on, but there's no way to connect to it (it's not even visible).

Running latest stock rom.
[Android General] butchieboy:
I wish I could help but I live in the United States and my device only works on wifi no data. But I did install a wifi calling app that works fine..I know its not the same. I keep hoping that someone develops a rom so I am able to put sim in phone.

[Android General] gosa:
Tried it all... but in the end what fixed it was a factory reset. Tedious business that is - on mobile data without access to wifi with a provider that is considered "roaming" (being a virtual provider) I couldn't restore from google so I had to go totally from scratch. Good thing I have 19GB with my current provider.

fix for buttons problem

if you have root, it's simple: open root explorer find "system" folder, well usr/keylayout and here you'll find a file called "generic.kl".

long tap on it, open with text editor and find "key 158". if near to it there's "home", change to "BACK" and the key 172 must be "HOME" instead of "BACK".

U16 Max Stuck during boot

HI Guys,

My U16 Max is stuck during boot at the "OUKITEL / oukitel.com" screen. I stays there for ages. This is after I've done a cache clean and a factory reset.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Lojo
[Android General] Alberto96:
Reflash the device using my installation guide
[Android General] lojo83:
Unfortunately it did not make a difference. I've tried to flash the latest stock ROM image OUKITEL_U16_Max_V3.0_20180131.rar. Tried the "Firmware Upgrade" and "Format ALL + Download" options as well in the SP Flash tool but it's still stuck.

Is it possible to debug it somehow to see where the boot process is failing?

When I tried to install 20170718_s21v57c2k_jk_fsm.zip as per the document the flash tool was complaining about incompatible chip.
[Android General] Alberto96:
I am not aware of any extra debugging available to the user.
[Android General] lojo83:
I'm not having much luck with this so far. I've managed to install a TWRP and tried to wipe/format all partitions, fix contexts etc... But when I reinstall the stock firmware I still get the same. The Oukitel logo shows, then the logo animation is played and then nothing else happens.

One more interesting thing which I've noticed is that if I go to the stock recovery menu and select "Run graphics test" I get the following:

I get the colourful circles animation and then these messages one after the other:

- Installing system update

- Error!

- No command (goes back to the recovery screen with the android logo and the "no command" text)

- Erasing

- Installing system update (and a progress bar)

Every times happens the same and the above messages cycle. Not sure if this is normal or what else is supposed to happen during the graphics test.

Is there another ROM which I could try? (So far I only found the stock ROM from oukitel: OUKITEL_U16_Max_V3.0_20180131.rar)

The chip in the phone is MT6753.
[Android General] lojo83:
Ok, so I have made some progress. Managed to find one rom which works: OUKITEL_U16_Max_V5.0_20161024_debug.rar

This is a version 6 Android debug image and it's very slow. Any ideas why none of the Android 7 images may start or how to upgrade from 6 to 7? When I try an update using the wifi update tool it says my version is up to date...

Thanks.

As far as I can see the here sold PX5 Boards have just some Pins to plug into and not a "slot design" as it is for my PX3 board.

Do you know how or if there are any upgrade possibilitys to a PX5 board?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] soapy:
And I just ordered a hot air station so I could do the RAM upgrade. ****.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dongali:
It may be possible to ask the seller to sell it to you anyway while understanding the risk that it may not be compatible with your specific RK3188 board. I am guessing the seller is afraid that you buy it, then return because it didn't work.

Looking strictly at the specifications, there should not be any reason that the PX5 chip is selectively uncompatible with PX3 Rk3188. I have tested swapping the PX5 chip with a MTCD RK3188 for my friend and there were no problems- took less than 5 minutes to do...

Theres no such thing as a "JOYING JYUL135" - Joying are sellers only, they sell mainly (but not only) headunits made by Shenzhen Joyous, they make up that name for their records, it doesnt mean anything to anyone else and you could have the exact same unit sold by another seller with no name or a different name, so on XDA we use the name given by the manufacturer.

To find out what unit you have, go to settings/about device/device info, what does it say in the MCU field ?
