Hi guys, I received yesterday my Oukitel k10000 pro. I put in root a dozen MTK phones but this one is very annoying.

I tried to make a root by fastboot by first unlocking the boot and then flashing the recovery with TWRP. with needrom method . Result: bricked phone, blocked on the start logo.

Required to flash with the original rom with the utility SP flash tools: always "ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_DA_FAIL (0xC00660003)"

finally it works if I format memory first ... the original rom is reinstalled but I lost nvram ... arrrrrrrggggggg

My phone is now in stock, but I lost my Imei ... dirt.

I was able to install TWRP via fastboot on the second try, TWRP starts in Russian and does not recognize the size of partitions that do all 0KB and can not mount partitions ..... I think this version of TWRP is not compatible yet with this phone!

I do not know what to do to root this damn phone properly.

*Has anyone managed to root this phone properly?

EDIT: Finally Nvram restored with SN_Writer_Tool_v1.1728 . Exellent software.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Oneplus#:
hey bro same problem but i not find the db file for sn writer
[Oukitel (All phone models)] rumopi:
The files are located into the original rom ;)
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Oneplus#:
Wrote imei manually in engineering mode cause i not found it :(

The twrp on first post cause bootloop someone need to delete it...

BTW this is my temporary solution for root and use this phone:

1) i downgraded the phone to the previous build

2) after that I lose imiei

3) flashed twrp by needrom NB. (When u open this twrp u need to flash supersu or will get bootloop)

4) It will boot and u will get root

5) open engineering menu and open GPRS section, then fill imei manually and press write, reboot and voilà imei back and phone rooted.

Problems:

-U can't boot twrp after that or u will get bootloop(I think) if someone's want to test...

-U need to stay on older build to have it working

-If u upgrade u lose root

-SuperSU not pass safety net

Pro:

-U have root and imei back

Ps. I'm totally a noob on battery related stuff... I bought this phone for his battery... But my question is: after all this flash to get all working (before found this solution I flashed like 20 times) I need to make a cycle of battery charge or it is OK? Thanks

MT6755

Hey!

Anyone knows that is there a rom for MT6755? I have that version on my K10000 Pro,

and currently phone is without an OS.. So im kinda stuck in here.

Or is it that i just don't know what im doing..? ^^ First time rooting.

It went sideways, and phone has only twrp flashed.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] rumopi:
Personally, I resold it. the sound is really execrable.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] CalauDude:
The K10000 max impressed me so I ordered one despite I dont real need one :)

I hope OREO will come soon
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Magician23:
there is a new version on needrom.com OUKITEL_K10000_Pro_V6.0_20170726. but the recovery from V.1 is not working.. (cant go to reecovery and creates bootloop) if u find a new recovery pls post it here. Thx in advance!
[Oukitel (All phone models)] FukTheRegister:
I dont know if you search that, but on mine I can get ROOT and Recovery works fine.

My ROM is V1.0_20170531.

I try to update to V6 by my hands, but my phone crash (I see 2 realy fast times enter unlock code, and stuck in BootImage ...).

But I can restore my TWRP backup without loosing my datas, I go back to V1 ...

I want to know changelog of V6.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] FukTheRegister:
I have tryied to understand why the V6 ROM not works.

I found a lot of things stranges inside the v6 rom:

The kernel don't want to boot on mine K10000 Pro (I have ONLY rplace the zImage, and I don't get bootscreen, just a complete crash).

I have reading the buid.prop on mine version (V1) and the V6 version:

On BOTH files: ro.build.version.incremental=1496290182 (Incremental ??? Not realy ...)

V6

ro.board.platform=mt6750 (Ok, same)

ro.build.product=K10000_Pro

ro.build.description=full_hct6750_66_n-user 7.0 NRD90M 1501037744 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=OUKITEL/K10000_Pro/K10000_Pro:7.0/NRD90M/1496290182:user/release-keys (Strange no ?)

V1

ro.board.platform=mt6750

ro.build.product=hct6750_66_n

ro.build.description=full_hct6750_66_n-user 7.0 NRD90M 1496290182 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=OUKITEL/full_hct6750_66_n/hct6750_66_n:7.0/NRD90M/1496290182:user/release-keys

And at the end of build.prop it tell of update different mechanism

V6

# begin fota properties

ro.fota.version=OUKITEL_K10000_Pro_V6.0_20170726_20170726-1114

V1

# start redstone OTA properties

ro.redstone.version=OUKITEL_K10000_Pro_V1.0_20170531

Is this ROM is realy an update or it's an hack ?

And last things

On the Oukitel official website, I didn't find this "V6" ROM ...
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Magician23:
if u find any new recovery for version 6 (the new firmware update for oukitel) pls post it heere guys asap! Thx in advance! Th v.1 recovery doesnt work on v.6 firmware.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Levered:
Btw today has release new version v12.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] FukTheRegister:
Source ?

Screenshoot ?

I don't find it on official website too ...
[Oukitel (All phone models)] YeepYeep:
Yes! I got the V12 update yesterday, too.

Still android 7.0 but with securitypatch from 5 August 2017.

The Theme chooser is missing now. Also the leather wallpapers.

The Systemupdater has a new design. And i think it runs a little bit smoother since the update.

The battery seems to be draining slower but this is hard to say with such a big accu. ;)

I will test it over the days.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] FukTheRegister:
OK, but did you have changelog on ROM update ?

Because I dont want to take 4h to root m'y phone again, if it obly for security update. But if it more faster and more battery saver I m OK to try.

Are you root ?

I need dôme md5sum to avoir loose my root.

Inside thé ZIP file I saw thé preboot seem différent ...
[Oukitel (All phone models)] YeepYeep:
The only changelog in the updatemanager i remember, is that the fingerprint sensor will now operate much quicker.

And that i have to delete my fingerprints and register them new.

No i am not on ROOT.

I'm a little bit afraid to do it.

I'm waiting for a solution which is more less complicated. ;)

And if I am honest, then I do not need it either.

The battery holds up to 7 days. What do I want more?

The only things that bothered me, have i solved with three apps.

1. I have separated the Ringtone and Message Volume with this app: Lautstärkeregler +

2. The volume keys now change the Media Volume instead of the Ringtone with this app: Media Volume only

3. The lockscreen shows now a notification when i get a new message or missed a phonecall. Before, he just remained black. Glimpse Notification

Easy way to root?

Hi FukTheRegister,

I'm also still on V1.0_20170531, though I'm offered to upgrade to V12_20170912.

I'd like to root it before and install a working TWRP. Then the upgrade might be possible via Flashfire (worked for me with another phone nicely, a Xiaomi MiMix1)

But you mentioned in another thread (https://xdaforums.com/general/help/how-to-root-oukitel-k10000-pro-t3626105) some issues:

"It's have A LOT OF PROBLEMS:

Touch screen only works with "fastboot boot recovery-GALOULA_v0.1.img"

Screen is inverted (180°) but touch is ok (touch opposite to get to good button ...)

If you flash it, you have only ADB and NO touch screen, it's strange ...

On my phone, it's Russian by default !"

Do they still exist? Can you post eventually a brief summary how to achieve root and get TWRP installed on V1.0_20170531?

Changing language in TWRP seems to be simple according to flippy.nl: "press the second button from the bottom on the right side, then the globe on the top right and select your own language and press the bottom right button to enable that language."

Thanks a lot in advance!

Greetings, Steff

Unlock Bootloader?

Hi all, I just found https://www.androidweblog.com/root-oukitel-k10000-install-twrp-recovery/.

They offer a link on needrom (https://www.needrom.com/download/root_twrp_su/) for a TWRP. I just tried t flash it with the MTK Flash tools, but as soon as I try, the phone starts to boot and leaves therefor the preloader mode. So the flashing fails. Does that mean I have to unlock the bootloader as mentioned in the beginning of the page? And if so, how can this be done?

Edit: Just found this attached document (attached to the files from Needrom):

But since I don't want to loose all current settings and apps, I'll carefully backup everything first. I did not do any of the steps listed below yet....

1. How to Unlock bootloader. NB: As soon as your bootloader will be unlocked, the telephone will be reset to default settings. All settings/data/userdata/applications etc. are to be deleted automatically.

Go to the “Settings” and activate “developer mode” (Multiple taps on Build Number under “About Phone” will help you to activate) and then choose “OEM Unlocking” under “Developer options”, “USB-Debugging” should be activated as well. Turn the phone OFF.

2. Enter "fastboot mode" by pressing simultaneously Vol+ and Power buttons, then choose "fastboot" from boot menu.

3. Connect your phone to USB (You shall see Android ADB Interface in device manager appeared), install drivers Windows+10_MTK+VCOM+USB+Preloader+Drivers.zip and copy ADB.rar to your HDD, unpack it and open command prompt.

4. Type in command prompt:

fastboot devices

In case if everything is installed and set up properly you will see the following: fastboot 0123456789ABCDEF (Where 0123456789ABCDEF is your unique phone combination)

5. Unlock bootloader:

fastboot oem unlock

At the same time you will be prompted on phone. Press Vol+ button to confirm.

In command propt you shall see the following

#

C:\ADB>fastboot oem unlock

...

(bootloader) Start unlock flow

OKAY [ 43.920s]

finished. total time: 43.921s

WARNING!! YOU HAVE TO DO THIS! Do not skip this step-> 6. Reboot your phone by:

fastboot reboot

Wait ‘till your system boot complete, copy SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip to the phone (do not unzip it), then turn the phone OFF and go to fastboot mode again (ref. to point 2 of this instruction).

7. TWRP. Rename TWRPrecovery.img to recovery.img. Copy it to ADB folder. Then enter the following in command prompt:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Recovery will be flashed.

8. Turn OFF your phone by pressing power button for ~6 seconds. Go to the boot menu (ref. to point 2 again), choose Recovery and enter TWRP. Install SuperSU and reboot system.

Congratulations! You have successfully rooted your phone!

Hi steff_1964,

The recovery in the first page works now (with screen in the good direction) on my phone.

My version I have maked, is before the version mentionned here.

Use the new version insted of mine.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
Thx a lot for the quick reply! I think beside enabling OEM-Lock in the developer settings it is required to unlock the bootloader? This is done in fastboot mode via ADB (from the PC) with the command "fastboot oem unlock"? And all data will be wiped?

Is there any way to keep data, apps and settings, so that I don't have to set up my phone completely again?

Thx and many greetings, Steff
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
No TWRP after update

Hi all,

I managed to unlock the bootloader, which wiped my phone, installed TWRP and superuser according to the manual below. After that I set up the phone again.

Then I installed the offered update to 20170912. Therefor I downloaded it, but did not install it with the updater. Instead I used flashfire. After that I still had root and all my data.

But now I cannot root into recovery! Whenever I try it, it boots into the normal system. I still can boot into fastboot. Btw, the oem unlock option now is greyed out, but I think that might be because the bootloader is still unlocked.

I don't want to unlock the bootloader via ADB again in order not to loose all data on the mobile (as long as there are alternatives). But nothing worked so far.

I backupped the recovery with the official TWRP app on the mobile and tried to flash it again. Nothing changed (I expected that).

Then I copied the TWRP recovery again to the mobile via ADB from my PC. Still the same: Whenever I try to boot into TWRP (or basically into recovery via a quickboot app), the phone boots normally again. I cannot boot into recovery.

Is there any way "activate" the recovery again?

Cheers and thanks, Steff
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
Hi, a short update. I guess I bricked my phone completely.

I had planned to go through the same OEM Unlock and flash procedure again after I had lost TWRP after the OTA update with Flashfire. Since I could not read the OEM unlock status via "fastboot oem device-info", getting "FAILED (remote: unknown command)", I was not sure about the unlock status,

I first flashed the TWRP recovery once again via ADB, but I still couldn't boot into it. Instead the phone bootet into the system like before.

Then I decided to set it up newly and to unlock the OEM bootloader again via ADB "fastboot oem unlock" which seemed to work correctly

"(bootloader) Start unlock flow

OKAY [ 57.119s]

finished. total time: 57.119s"

But then I got a bootloop. I now cannot boot neither into flashmode nor into recovery any longer. Instead the phone boots always into system, displays "Orange State. Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device will boot in 5 seconds" and boots again.

I also cannot use a MTK flash tool. Since the phone boots immediately when connected to USB, I always get an error like "error : status_brom_cmd_send_da_ fail (0xC0060003) "

Any ideas are higly appreciated. Should I try to open the phone and remove the battery?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] FukTheRegister:
Do you have fastboot ?

You can olso disconnect USB, pres power 10seconds, push down, and keep down pressed when you connect phone to th PC with flash tool in "waiting" mode.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
No, no fastboot. Then it would be much easier :)

Whenever I connected the phone to USB, it starts immediately to boot in its current state. So flashing doesn't start at all. Will try your proposal tonight (in Germany it is 11 a.m. right now, I'm at work).
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
I still get always ERROR : STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0xC0060003)

I guess I have to open the phone and remove the battery.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
Hi Guys, my phone is alive again, and I learned a lot.

- I opened the back cover carefully, removed fingerprint sensor and flash LED, the inner frame (upper part only) and the battery clip. Then I could flash the V1 version as well as the V12. Attention: After unzipping, the file path had (in my case) Chinese letters in it. As long as they were there, the scatter file on my European PC was claimed to be invalid!

- OEM unlock survives all flashing procedures, the corresponding option is greyed out. I guess the "oem lock" command must be used via fastboot (ADB) to lock it again.

- TWRP does not work in V6 ROM! I flashed it via fastboot as well as via MTK flash tool, but the phone boots always into system.

- It does work in V1 ROM.

Right now I reflashed the V1 ROM and TWRP, installed SU and right now I'm reloading my last backup (still created having the V1 ROM). I still have to assemble the phone ;) But that shouldn't be that difficult.

I hope that there will be a TWRP which works for the latest V6 ROM (OUKITEL_K10000_Pro_V6.0_20170726), even better with the V12. Otherwise don't update, you'll loose TWRP.

Cheers, Steff

TWRP cannot mount the system partition

Some Updates: I installed xposed and the module "UnrestrictedGetTasks" to use the "switchr" app. Xposed works nicely, but switchr doesn't work so far.

I also installed Titanium backup. It worked in the beginning, but the "menu" button in the head line was not present. Therefor I removed and re-installed it. Since then it crashes at startup immediately. I tried to clean caches, but nothing works. I couldn't start it anymore.

So I decided to go back to my first TWRP backup. But I found out that the system partition cannot be mounted! It can be backupped, but not restored. So I guess I have to reflash it again, eventually with the battery disconnected (fastboot is still accessable).

Any idea why TWRP cannot mount the system partition?

Did anybody successfully restore the system partition via TWRP?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] FukTheRegister:
I think you can try to restore it via "dd if=/sdcard/TWRP/..../system.img of=/dev/block/system".

Before, check if you system.img is mountable (mount -o loop,ro system.img /mnt".

The check the format: "file system.img".

Me, I prefer dump via "dd", because it's a copy bit by bit (yes, big file, but, easy to use, and restore).
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
ADB?

You're speaking about ADB commands?

I have only a very basic knowledge so far, but I searched for it. I thought I could only use ADB when the device is running already. And with the empty system partition I cannot boot. But I just learned that in (TWRP) Recovery ADB can also be used.

But TWRP does not create a system.img, instead the files are like system.ext4.win000 etc. And you are speaking about the local TWRP backup (on the phone)? Not the system.img from the ROM file?

I can use 7zip to extract the system.ext4, but that is still no image file. Can it be converted into a system.img file?

Or should I just use a command like this?

dd if=/sdcard/TWRP\BACKUPS\62b6af64\2017-10-18--20-15-38_MXB48T\system.ext4.win000 of=/dev/block/system

which is in my case the path on the mobile itself.

Sorry, but I want to avoid to disconnect the battery again as long as it is not absolutely necessary. Also I want really to learn how to restore the TWRP backups, otherwise they are really useless.

Thanks and best regards!

Cell Bands

I tried for hours trying to unlock my k10000 pro and then found this post and realized I was using the V1 method having the v12 upgrade, all I want to know if it is possible to add some cell bands, I live in Canada and some of the 3G GSM bands are missing but checking the specs of the MTK6750T it should be able to do those frequencies however they are blocked so if I leave 4G area I drop to 2G with painfully to no data.

Thanks to anyone who can help
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
Hi, I finally solved the issue with the not-mountable system partition in TWRP. Now I can restore TWRP images completely. But only with the V1-Firmware. TWRP 3.1.1 is only for OUKITEL K10000 Pro V1.0 20170531 as far as I know.

The trick was to go to advanced wipe, repair the fily system and change its type from ext4 to ext4.

After that it can be mounted and must be changed to writable.

Then I could TWRP to restore an older backup easily.

I'm still hoping to get a newer TWRP version which is compatible with the V12 ROM.

I also found out that several apps were not working properly, especially XPosed modules. Reason was the added Sd card, which I had configured as integrated memory and main writing storage. Therefor I had to move some apps from the external memory card to the internal memory. Links on my homescreeen to apps on the external memory disappeared after reboot. Moving those apps to the internal memory solved all these issues.

Cheers, Steff

Can someone talk with the creator of This TWRP v.1 so he can make a new one for v.12? its a pity to have root only in v.1 , when there is newer version out there (v.12).We can donate if it needs.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] naimi5885:
can help me

i got same problem with u,can u teach me how get i solve the problem,i trying it still failed
[Oukitel (All phone models)] dejawho:
For me this tutorial is not working, and also the one about backupping the nvram. I always get a BROM error from the flash tool, tested on two PC, one with windows 10 and one with windows 7 (and a clean install) and I always get the error. The error is brom cmd send da fail 0xc0060003
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
You're in fastboot mode? I had the same issue. The solution was finally simple. Just hit the start button or and over again. My PC started then suddenly the flash procedure.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] dejawho:
I've done like described, by connecting the phone shutdown and I get the error. Somewhere else I read to try to press volume up while connecting and I get another error. Than I tested the fastboot mode and in this case the process doesn't even start, like it didn't see the phone.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
Why do you want to flash the phone? If you to get root and TWRP just follow the readme in the TWRP on needrom. Otherwise I would check in fastboot via "fastboot devices" if you can access the phone.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] dejawho:
I want to install supersu, I followed the tutorial to install first TWRP on the OP but when I press download and I connect the phone as described in the first post I get the error
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
This only works with the "V1-Rom" before there was any update. I used the TWRP from needrom and followed the instructions there in the readme.doc. The procedure is completely different.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] dejawho:
My k10000 arrived already updated, is there any way to have a twrp on that?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] steff_1964:
The current TWRP seems to work only with the V1 Rom.

You could try and downgrade to the official V1 Rom with the flash tool. At least for me the current TWRP did not work with newer ROMs. I lost fastboot and had to open my device, unclip the battery and reflash the complete ROM. I described that some posts earlier. Opening the device with a credit card was quite easy and did not damage anything.

same like me,i dont no how to do now

[MENTION=6596524]jemmini[/MENTION] do you think it's possible to port the twrp to v12?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Dagon_Komodoro:
I created an account just to come and talk about this phone.

I bought this one expecting for the better part the battery would make its impact. But Mediatek processors do love consume energy.

I'm been following this forum for a while but I'm a noob in this matter.

Still going to figure it out the advantages of having your cellphone rooted and all. Just to many abreviations and initials that point to many other stuff. This looks like a maze.

But it is an awsome job that has been done with this post and congrats to Alberto, Fuktheregister and steff for the incredible effort they've shown along this immense, already, thread for a phone that in January, or even at the end of december will be surpassed by doogee bl120000 pro xD (this guys in china are just pushing stuff to the limit). I bet that in some time they will be shipping out helio p25 with a 20000mAh battery. Just to compet against snapdragons battery life performance.

I'm just curious [MENTION=8475766]YeepYeep[/MENTION] said he had updated to v12, its shame loosing the wallpapers and themes.

But is the battery life on this update better? It seems that the updates only come through the cellphone and dont show up on their webpage for every update. In fact they only have the v1 there. So I ask...after updating to v12, is there a way to return to v1? Without rooting or using trwp first?

Cheers

Edit: Forgot to mention: My phone arrived on the 9th (November 2017), like, took 1 week to get to my house after ordering it from a EU wharehouse. And it came with v1 firmware.
