Since the beginning of August i have contacted Vernee SEVERAL times but they give no **** about their customers, so don't expect that they will do something about it.

We are the ones who should find a way.

We only need just one person who has managed to successfully update correctly to the latest ota update
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LuigiTheHunter:
indeed i did, i needed to reflash the august room 2 times and then it worked.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mermigas:
What I've noticed trying to install the update , is that after reboot phone turns to recovery ( I am using recovery image from K11NAS-A.A.vA05.N0.170414 rom ) and the progress bar stops in about 30% and phone restarts.

Maybe it is recovery.img problem
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
i've had this issue since day one.

it downloads the update, the phone reboots to stock recovery, the colourful circle appears, it starts updating, then the bar reaches a bit before the middle, then the phone reboots.

Sometimes i get an error message as well.

Just check the scatter file they provide and you'll see why these guys are all jokes when it comes to aftermarket support..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LuigiTheHunter:
i don't think so i tried jemmi twrp and original august recovery both do not work!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Well I doubt that the OTA from Vernee works with TWRP... -> https://twrp.me/faq/officialota.html

I haven't had any phone which made an OTA with TWRP as recovery installed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mermigas:
You are correct. OTA can be done only with original stock recovery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hilde0407:
OTA can not be installed

For those who want to update the new update, TWRP always appears again: After many unsuccessful attempts, I installed the ROM from the following address ... The new OTA can then be installed!

Attention!! All data will be deleted!

Factory state?

Englisch

Is it possible to put the phone back in the factory state or flash it? Since I've noticed every time I've deleted the data, TWRP was back on it and asked Mount data. I'm going to attack an encrypted partion where there is no pin, but only a pattern. And this is somehow not going. In some forums, many people write the simple format, unfortunately without success!

Anyone else have an idea?

_____________________________________________________________

German:

Gibt es die möglichkeit ein das telefon in den Werkszustand wieder zu setzen oder zu flashen? Da ich festgestellt habe immer wenn ich die Daten gelöscht habe war Twrp wieder drauf und hat mount Data verlangt. Da heißt ich greife auf eine verschlüsselte Partion zu wo es keinen Pin gibt sondern nur ein Muster. Und dieser geht irgendwie nicht. In einigen Foren schreiben viele das man das einfach formatieren soll, leider ohne Erfolg!

Sonst noch jemand eine Idee?

Tanks have Nice Weekend!

Just figured out that there are 2 scatter files, one which shouldn't wipe user data. Someone tried already?

This is Aug Ron. Can you get Sept OTA after installation?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Tried to install the OTA, no success. It reached nearly the end in the progress bar but then came the drunk android lying on the floor with booze :p

Though I must admit that I already have the august ROM installed and only flashed boot.img and recovery.img. Don't know why I have to flash the whole ROM and I don't want to loose all my installed app and data.

Maybe, im I,m bored tonight, I'll try a full flash.

Has someone already installed modules successfully through Magisk?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MiKE431:
I'm trying, but it seems that the loopback device module is broken on the vernee kernel...

~ # losetup -f /data/magisk.img
~ # losetup -a
/dev/block/loop0: 0 /data/magisk.img
~ # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/loop0
dd: writing '/dev/block/loop0': Operation not permitted
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0B) copied, 0.000564 seconds, 0B/s

See I've set the loopback device to point to /data/magisk.img (where modules are written), and then tried to write some data to it... however it failed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Can somebody please confirm, that restoring with Titanium Backup doesn't work, though backup works?

It seems I get a loop in restoring.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MiKE431:
Is the backup from the same phone?

I had this issue when the backup I was attempting to restore was from another phone, and the APKs it had stored were made for a different CPU architecture. What I did to work around that was I installed all the apps manually, and redownloaded the ones which gave errors, then used titanium backup to restore all application data.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Yes they are from the same phone. I try to restore the included backup and restore app from VOS and it doesn't work.

And restoring from another phone with another architecture worked in the past. Maybe I'll try it with a previous version of TA.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
It works for me, backup from other phone and from same phone titanium backup 7.6.1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Okay, I've got 8.0.1, maybe should try an older one.

Well tried it, didn't work out. Damn.

root for Mars pro on p20 (MT6757 not the MT6757D)

Hi,

I'm looking for help to get a scatter file to install TWRP, but for the p20 based MT6757.

The problem is probably most of you using a Mars Pro with the p25 architecture (MT6757D) and the scatter file on the first page of this topic is for the MT6757D, which is obviously not compatible with the p20.

Any idea from where I can get a scatter file for my p20 based mars pro?

(and yes according to CPU-Z it's a mars pro :)))

Thnx
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
There is no p20 mars pro, only p25
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Frogkiller:
If it is p25 and not P20, why all the applications I used to identify the hardware say it is p20 and with a maximum frequency of 2.39Mhz. When that vernee says that maximum frequency is 2.5Mhz. :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sutotok:
Well......

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5ZHO0Zc9o7PUHRCMVVxSng5WnM

As you can see it's running 2.39GHz and has a Mediatek MT6757 and not MT6757D

More precisely MT6757CH which is a revised p20 released in 2017

http://community.doogee.cc/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1570

I think some of us owe Vernee a big "thanks"

The speed difference not a big deal for me, but the root is a must have...and now where can I find a working one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
So i've same but i always use p25 scatter so you can too ^^

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
So, made a big fault yesterday, tried to install official xposed framework and it crashed.

I made a backup through TWRP before and tried to restore it after the crash. No success, still hanging on boot-screen for plenty of minutes.

So next way: install the ROM clean. Here the second mistake: I wiped userdata. Result was a fresh VOS but no userdata. When trying to restore with Titanium it freezes itself. I read somewhere that it seems that the SU binary is to old. But I thought the SU binary from Magisk is up-do-date. Even tried to link the SU binary to different locations, no success.

So two questions:

a) has someone successfully restored from Titanium Backup?

b) more important: has anyone made a backup with TWRP and has the userdata included? I have two backups from TWRP, both about 6 GB large, but it seems that there in no userdata included. If yes: how did you get it?

Oh, yeah, forgot: bluetooth isn't working, guess I have to make a clean install once again, this time without wiping userdata though...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Sorry for you but you just need to fully reinstall official rom. You can find it on needrom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acrodroid:
Hello Guys,

I have a question about the rooting this device. I have installed the TWRP but i cant find the root file from the first post. There is only a recovery file and somekind of tool that dosent too nothing or i just cant use it. Can u help me?

Edit: Okay i got a program running but when i klick the root, my phone gives me only a dead android..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
[MENTION=5102394]Acrodroid[/MENTION] after installing TWRP successfully via SPFlash enter TWRP and install Magisk v14 as a ZIP. Now you have root. Should work with Magisk v13 as well.

Using v14 I have currently problems to use Titanium Backup, it just restores the very first app, afterwards it freezes. But too lazy to install v13 and have a look it this version works with TB.

Tried the way [MENTION=2637197]MiKE431[/MENTION] mentioned by installing SuperSU 2.82, I got no root on the latest ROM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rafaelloest:
I have the same problem. Also using the same files from the first post.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
I think it's normal, wich version of spflashtool you use ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rafaelloest:
The latest i found on their website. (5.1628)

Its not normal because the diffrence of numbers makes it not work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Maybe yes, download my recovery zip and you'll find working flashtool
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rafaelloest:

I have a new prodlem, I managed to install a twrp, but I'm looking for a password for decrypt data, I noticed twrp showing internal storage as 0mb.I can not install SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1 for root.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
It's normal, you need to format data to decrypt data partition, but maybe you can backup all data you want to save.

But if you wan't to root you can use my recovery and my software, no need to format. But my recovery touchscreen doesn't work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jagodina:
I had to do the job manually. Your program could not root my phone, or could not read the recovery mode. I did the following: with the help of spflashtool i installed the twrp and pressed "pover and volume +" loaded recovery mod. then I ignored the password and with the help of the otg cable and usb flash memory successfully installed SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1.zip :D :o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wooky321:
I've tried literally ever combo....

I can't installed with the toolkit, saying 'No command' - updated to the latest version with OTA as well, need rom then, any OTA updates.

Tried the OTG, super user install, no luck...i haven't formatted yet which I really hope I don't have to do...Just really want root. Anyone? Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jagodina:
if you just want to do root, do the following:

1. Start SP_Flash_Tool load recovery.img end install twrp(You have instructions on the first page).

2. Separate the cable from mobile and press power button and volume +

3. When the twrp is loaded,he will ask you to enter a password,click cancel and continue.

4. Connect the OTG cable and USB flash memory with SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1.zip file and install it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wooky321:
Hey thanks for the reply, tried this a few times and still didn't work. It says root undetected on super SU.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wooky321:

If Mix 2 use the same P25 would be possible to root that too?

Its me again. After having giving up on the try before, i decided to try again. And guess what? Same error.

chip hw_code_mismatch!

scatter: MT6757D

device: MT6757

I am using the scatter in the first post and the latest sp flash tool i found.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Domnea:
I got same error but is not big deal,open the scatter file search for "MT6757D" and just delete "D" letter so you get "platform: MT6757" .

*to put a space instead the deleted letter.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rafaelloest:
Thanks.

is there any way to reboot into recovery without using the power and volume+ ? I dropped my phone and bent the volume buttons and they dont work (properly, sometimes i press it and it goes down, other times it goes up, other times it does nothing).

Also, any place that sell parts for this phone?

Edit: Managed to reboot into recovery, but it only gives me the dead android, so it doesnt seem to have to installed twrp... what do i do?

Edit 2: Should the spflashtool be into download only or other option?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Domnea:
you can search google play for "advance reboot" there are many apps ...but I think you need root(not sure).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rafaelloest:
Like i said in my edits, i was able to reboot it on recovery, but it seems like that TWRP wasnt installed...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Domnea:
the better alternative is to use adb& fastboot commands ... so turn on USB Debugging mode.

link to adb&fastboot: http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Adb Fastboot Files

extract the zip on desktop(?)

put the trwp recovery in same folder

open cmd go in adb folder using cd command

connect your phone with usb debugging mode activated

run

adb reboot bootloader

then run

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

done
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rafaelloest:
Okay, it gives me FAILED (remote: not allowed in locked state)

I tried enabling the oem unlocking in dev options, same error tough.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Domnea:
I forgot about this....in this case you should use this command before flashing the recovery

fastboot oem unlock
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rafaelloest:
is there any way to choose the yes option without the volume buttons? My volume buttons are ****ed up
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rafaelloest:
Okay, i managed to do it, twrp is loaded, but, where i get the super su?

Also, i cant reboot into the system anymore. It keeps sending me back to the recovery...

I got the super su from chainfire. But i am still on a loop with the recovery. I saw that i need the latest boot file, anybody has it? (i think last month there was a update)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FJP84:
Hi great work providing all the tools and info. Couple of questions though:

I have the latest September OTA. Can I install TWRP and root from this?

I don't have Windows, but I do have Linux Mint or I can get Ubuntu 17.10. Can I still root Vernee Mars Pro with this setup? What are the contents of the Toolkit Exe file? Do I understand correctly that after I flash TWRP I can download install Magisk v14 via Zip install in TWRP for root. Or is Magisk already included in the Toolkit?

Are there already custom ROMs available for the Vernee Mars Pro?

Thanks¡
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] djsnakezinho:
Hi!

First of all: thanks for the great work! ?

Just to share: I used Magisk Manager and updated Magisk with it; my Mars Pro ended up in a boot loop. I fixed it by flashing only the boot partition from the ROM available in needrom and redoing the steps in this thread ?

Question: Are there any news regarding custom ROMs? I'm having bluetooth problems when connected to my car (and my wife's) and was hoping a custom ROM, possibly with Android 7.1 (or even Oreo ?) could be the solution.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mermigas:
I am very disappointed with this phone. First of all support from Vernee is null. I also have Bluetooth problems whilst connected with my car ( voice is fading away) and phone signal is twisting from 4g to 3g -2g all the time and connection lost. I was hoping for a custom ROM but Vernee doesn't release sources.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ov3rdos3d:
Where can i find the correct spflash Tool from first Post? I tried many Times to install twrp but in every case i get no command with laiying Android. Bootloader is unlocked over adb. Root over adb doesnt work too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alessandrocaporali:
I agree with you my friend. I will NEVER EVER buy Vernee crap again. I was "stalking" support center by e-mails, on forums and trying to involve other users. Nothing.

They steal our money. Then goodbye.

I confirm phone issues that you've explained.

The last update of the VerneeOS is September '17.

There were only 3 updates since April-May 2017 (date of release of Vernee Mars Pro). This is unacceptable.

Remember: If the phone has great specs but the OS and firmware are proprietary, avoid buying it.

This is the lesson I've learned.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mermigas:
Bye bye Vernee for ever. The worst phone I've ever had.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FJP84:
I also have Bluetooth issues on my carkit. Music is quite ok, but when calling connection/audio is lost but comes back and this behavior repeats itself.

I can fix it for a while by a force stop of the bluetooth share system app. But it is just so annoying! I don't know if it is an MTK related issue and if anyone knows a permanent fix.

In the meanwhile I am checking for a replacement phone. I think it will be a snapdragon again and a brand that keeps providing updates...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mermigas:
I replaced nine with a Xiaomi Mi A1 ( Android One) running Oreo and I have no problems so far. Smooth as silk.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FJP84:
