: I only take partial credit for this recovery, it is a port from the Alcatel 5054x and the recovery image and ideas of faxanidu who without him this would have taken much longer. So now onto the meat of the matter. This is TWRP 2.8.7 and everything is working. Of course I only have the one device but still seems to be effective but you flash this at your own risk and if your device gets bricked I didn't do it. You must be rooted to flash this far as I know, you can get root with kingroot 5. Flash with nandroid manager from the market and enjoy!! Now onto custom roms!!!

If the screen locks in twrp swipe from left to right in the middle of the screen, only thing I don't like.

DOWNLOAD:

USE:

You may use it directly without flashing and removing stock recovery by using fastboot

You may want to flash it to replace your stock RECOVERY, for that use dd

STOCK RECOVEY:

Stock Recovery IMG ZIP

How to flash stock ROM if you need it. download and extract stock recovery img. get root on adb shell.

Which one to go for? please help.

This phone is for a moderate user (no high-end gaming, no high camera usage). Which phone has better batter?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:
If you are from India better to go for Honor 8 because it was 3k more than Honor 8 lite
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Go for the Honor 8.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saeem:
I think honor 8 lite is more expensive compared to what we get on honor 8
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:
?? Honor 8 the best choice at that range
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saeem:
I don't think so. I think One Plus 3T is the best choice at the range in Saudi Arabia compared to Honor 8. (Don't know about other countries) ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
We all have different preferences for that.

Yeah. It happens usually when the internet goes slow. Labs tells me that posting my reply failed so I rape that reply button. When in reality my reply was already posted. :laugh:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saeem:
In the country of my residence you can buy Honor 8 32GB with 2 years of warranty(works in any country of the middle east and Africa), and without accidental damage(screen broken/battery damage/earphone/charger damaged) for SAR1400.

But you can buy OnePlus 3T for SAR1350 with even the accidental damage warranty. But the warranty will only work in Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain

So one plus is cheaper and also better (except the design and camera) than Honor 8 here :fingers-crossed:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
With that price, 3T is the better option considering the custom ROM support and such.

[General Questions and Answers] Atronid:
3.0.2-0 for sm-g361f
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I did a Google search for TWRP for SM-G361F.

I saw more than one version of TWRP for SM-G361F.

So, as I said the first time, try a different version of TWRP such as 3.0.1-0 for SM-G361F or 3.0.0-0 for SM-G361F. Some version other than the one you have, maybe the particular TWRP build/file you have is faulty.

[General Questions and Answers] Atronid:
Flashing another version does NOT delete Recovery "memory"! For viability reasons I came back to 3.0.2 after flashing (and using of course) 2.8.7 and it still "thinking" that my SD is partitionned! It doesnt want to write it anymore under this version!!

Motto: Vox populi, vox dei !

Updated on July 3, 2018:

(reason in post #636)

Mod Edit :- Links Removed

As per popular request, the OpenGApps(o), Xposed(x), Rooted(s) Kit-Kat 4.4.4 firmware version for MTCB/C rk3188 units, based on JY's images from 16/03/28.

You will have the pleasure of installing the Xposed framework yourselves (the xposed installer is pre-installed). That's a relief! (for me) :)

The "usual suspects" are also pre-installed: mtcservice-2.60 & mtcxp-4.3, ttxp-3.3, mtc-sound-2.0.5 (but even the official version will work anyway).

Don't forget to enable the xposed modules&reboot.

Note that the included recovery, of slightly newer version (albeit still a KK one), once installed, does indeed execute the "clear all" part - it formats data and cache at the end, so the subsequent express "wipe all" seems unnecessary.

TT GO spoofing is in post #392.

Blank kernels, with no KK logo, are in post #44.

For fun&fans, kernels with dsa logo in post #53!

Developer Mode in post #332.

===

The "new" (actually old, but updated) /system/etc/install-recovery.sh is: install-recovery.sh, just in case you'd have to restore it after a(n unintended) SuperSU upgrade.

===

BTW, in principle, unless an unlikely bug is reported, I don't reply in this thread to users who are not listed as saying thank you to this post. :)

So here a update....

Ive installed the rom twice, and after that I wiped all data.

The Rom is still perfect, it run so fast.....unbelievably

Its stable and its clean.

In my opinion this is the best Rom for 1 GB RAM devices....and trust me, Ive tryed all Roms for mtcb devices ;)

High recommended :)

Thank you very much [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION]

People can not believe that it finally happened.:)
[MTCB Software Development] Oldpapa49:
Sumtin else to play with.. TY dsa8310
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
I have just updated it, with DPI 210, in the OP post.

The launcher preserves all proportions, unlike the 5.1.1 (KLD) one.

What else - Google has restored an older KK phone of mine (?), and I got the animated wallpaper from then - not bad, thanks Google! (rather a lot of "anonymous" data maintained by it...)

Though it may be a simple coincidence.
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
I can guess that networking is handled differently from LP, so it seems that changes to services.jar are not required.

It also appears that pretending, in mtcservice (2.39), that the wired network is of type WIRELESS is wrong because KK may then ignore it when wifi is switched off in Settings (unlike LP).

I will have to postpone all tests until I recharge my car battery, it has just failed, mid summer... After 7 hours of charging, the voltage dropped under 12V? It's a goner, isn't it?

Now under 11V... and I've got a new battery! :)
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
The fixed version of

mtcservice-2.40.apk

good only for KK (not LP, v2.38 is for LP), which spoofs only two items and leaves the wired network alone. Because KK has no problem in handling dual networking, wired&wireless, and behaves exactly as I had mended networking for LP!

Just upgrade mtcservice, there is no need to reinstall the entire firmware. The OP has been updated as well, to include it in firmware.

I believe this KK version is now done, and perfect as the LP version is.

Entre les deux, mon cœur balance... :)

I'm have to tell you that this works amazing. I have yet to finish setting up apps, but Wifi and installing apps are amazing fast..
[MTCB Software Development] Andromeda_Station:
Decided to try this out, very nice so far. Only one issue, with 'Here We Go' navigation...the app exits immediately after the splash screen with a toast error about the SD card that goes by too fast to read.

Anyone using 'Here We Go' with any success?
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
There are navigation alternatives, e.g. TomTom GO (unlimited miles, latest version, floating around), with express firmware support, as detailed in post #45.
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Well, KK is able to switch seamlessly between wired and wifi, with no intervention of mine, when I get home, while LP perhaps still needs more mending in this area.

So KK it is, for now. On revient toujours à son premier amour... :)
[MTCB Software Development] thivamero:
Tested and approved ... faster than the 5.1.1..but (I have no luck I always have a small problem) I had big problem with the music player, but after two startup, It's ok (for the moment), impossible to put the car logo on startup

very good job thank you
[MTCB Software Development] elyl:
Ok man, I love your LP ROM, but Sygic runs like an absolute dog on it. I guess it's memory intensive and I only have 1GB cos I'm no good at soldering :)

Guess I'll have to do another reflash with this version.

Can I flash from your current LP version to this KK without wiping all data, or does it only work going the other way (KK->LP)?
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Settings/Factory Settings(password 126)/CAR LOGO: Logo Type: LOGO Animation one ?!
[MTCB Software Development] thivamero:
it's not working.. it's not very important
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
See post #14 above, for the "recommended" navigation solution.

Do the flashing, and immediately after reboot, just before the first start-up, reenter recovery and do the wipe all.

But if you happen to already have flashed the July 23rd LP image, then the slightly newer KK recovery is already there, and so it is enough to do the installation entry with "clear all" because it also wipes all at the end, thanks to the better recovery.
[MTCB Software Development] vvarick:
This works perfectly! I had searched this thread, but did not think about searching the 5.1.1 thread.

Thanks much!

Thanks much for the very detailed response. I'll give that a shot when I get a round tuit. :)
[MTCB Software Development] elyl:
Bit of an obscure one, thought I'd ask here just in case someone had a solution.

My USB stick with all my music on it died after 5 years good service. I thought, instead of buying a new one, I'd stick a spare SD card in a USB reader, and plug that in (I only have the one SD card slot on the headunit, and it's a pain to get the card out every time). But the headunit won't read the SD/USB. I guess there must be some driver required to read a SD-to-USB reader, which isn't installed on this build? I thought it would just show up as a USB mass storage, just like a memory stick, but no. Any workaround, or will I have to bite the bullet and pay a few quid for a new memory stick?

EDIT: I found a spare memory stick, so don't need a solution. But I am interested in what the solution would have been ;)
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Yeah, I bet if you look on your pc that the card is formatted in Exfat, it needs to be FAT32, well,, you can probably get an app or add a lib to make it read Exfat but best to reformat it cos FAT32 is the most widely used format so means that more devices will be able to read it.
[MTCB Software Development] :
Yeah, you're probably right, actually. Oh well, I've got a USB anyway!

Status Bar Power Button?

Is there an easy way to put a Power Button on the status bar for easy reboots and to reboot to recovery? I'm currently using the "Power Menu (root)" app from the play store, but would rather have the button in the status bar instead of an app.

Thanks for any info.

[MTCB Software Development] gabesir:
need some help.... for some reason my radio wont reset. I get into recovery and select wipe.. i do that 3 times and flash with clear all and still the radio is retaining even the steering wheel assigned buttons.

I wipe using the options in settings same results.

Is there a fullreset image file i can flash? this is driving me crazy...
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Isn't there a (pre-installed) SWC app to reset all associations? (there is).
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Do you have CAN Bus decoder on your unit ?
[MTCB Software Development] gabesir:
Where is that???
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
They give them funny names, but it's there - I haven't had to use it in a long time either.
[MTCB Software Development] gabesir:
could you provide the name and location? I looked in system/apps and System/priv-apps/ :confused:
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
You didnt answer my question - if your car DOES have CAN Bus then the SWC controls will be automatically set by that to mirror the OEM functions and that will be why you cant easily change them.

To do so you may need to remove the SWC wires from the CAN Bus decoder and then connect them to another CAN Bus decoder (one that uses the Pioneer protocol) that changes the signals to resistive so the headunit can recognise them, you ll also have to set CAN Bus to "No" in factory settings and extract the SWC app, re apply the correct CAN Bus settings then install the CAN Bus app and then hope you can programme them how you like.

Or install XposedMTC and see if you can do something with that app.
[MTCB Software Development] gabesir:
Thank you, I see what your saying.

The main issue is that is not doing a full reset. after reinstalling the rom , xposed will not display anything on download also the playstore will not find any to update or installed.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Ok, nothing to do with SWC then. Youve wiped data ?
[MTCB Software Development] gabesir:
I wipe data from the setting menu,

- wiped data from recovery x 2

- flashed rom with clear all

- before first boot I reboot back into recovery and wipe again.

nothing.... I remember there was a wipe all image that you could flash to completely wipe the device.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Doing what youve done should wipe all. Try clearing all Playstore data.
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
It's called "Key Study".
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Yes, but it wont be there if you have a CAN Bus decoder and CAN Bus is turned on in factory settings . . .
[MTCB Software Development] elyl:
Is there any way to make the "Accessibility Service" settings available? Some apps require access to the accessibility service (e.g. PowerAMP Toast, LastPass, etc.) to work properly. They normally give you a notification when they start that you need to turn on the service, and try to take you to the settings to turn it on, but it just takes you to the standard Accessibility settings, and there are no service settings available. Means certain apps don't work correctly.

Hi DSA,

I am still on your latest 4.4.4 Rom.

I have a Problem with the 3G Modem.

Mostly time the device dont recognice the 3G Modem.

And when the modem get recogniced, it show me the Signal stripes but no letter like e ore 3G

Do you have a Idea for this Problem ?

Best regards :)
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
A (my) solution to the modem problem is an intermediary small router (TP-Link is mine) capable of recognizing even LTE modems on its dedicated USB port, and able to act as a wifi hotspot or/and with an Ethernet port (I use it, not the wifi setup) that provides Internet to the Head Unit (eventually via an USB Ethernet adapter, in my case).

I have described in more detail my setup in another post (in the original firmware thread), please look it up (I am saving bandwidth now).
[MTCB Software Development] Thhhza:

[MTCB Software Development] nikoum:
Hello everybody,

Reading through this thread of how good and simple this rom is I would like to try it. The problem is that i am new to all this and i am confused as to how to do it. I know how to install an update.img through recovery, but since there are two parts rar files for RK3188 on the first post by dsa8310 i do not know which one to choose or if i should put both in the sd card. Actually a small description of how to do it, would be greatly appreciated.

Could somebody help me please.
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
You must unrar (winrar) both parts on PC in order to get file update.img that you need.
[MTCB Software Development] mouscolo:
great ROM, and pretty fast one, one annoying thing that DPI set is high, and things are too big for ppl who have lower res screens, if you can fix ROm with 160DPI it will be great, i did try using app to change the DPI but all apps and setting even the launcher messed up

Thanks
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Yes its annoying, but all you need to do is install root explorer, go to build prop, open with text editor, set dpi to 240 (std) or whatever you want and save, sorted, takes about 2 mins to do :)

What happened to the MTCB/C SoM with 2Gb RAM and N ? Any news . . . :)
[MTCB Software Development] mouscolo:
i tried but the apps looks weird, so i back to my old KK rom, regarding the soms still waiting the final call from that guy, he keep skipping me for weeks which really annoys me...
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
They shouldnt look weird if the dpi is set to default 240.

What company is it ? I mm thinking of contacting HCT the people who make the SoMs.
[MTCB Software Development] mouscolo:
same my unit company, roadmaster, i reached guy inside from KSA branch,

what HCT do? they build som with 2gb already too?
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
They make all Rockchip MTCB/C/D SoMs (including the MTCD RK3188/PX3 2Gb RAM with N & MTCD RK3368/PX5 SoMs) and maybe Intel too (not seen an Intel SoM close enough to see), they may also be behind the whole "MTC" product line, ie set the motherboard spec for all the manufacturers and maybe even develop or commission the software. Look on your SoM it will say "HCT" somewhere.

Yes, both LP & KK, Open GApps in my case (2GB RAM), are stable OK.

Probably LP+MicroG, or KK+Open GApps are good choices for 1GB RAM units.

(though I doubt LP+Open GApps won't work satisfactory on 1GB units, too)

It works very smoothly and let be honnest 5.1.1 is not a real 5.1.1 as it got API level 22 so I decided to stay on the original.

I'm currently trying to work on a set of app of my own on this unit to bring my contribution (including launcher, music , radio , bluetooth etc) but I hate Java i'm more an F# guy so I'm using xamarin and the progress is slow. Will create a new thread when have functional beta.
