Which part stops from from installing them?

Can you be more specific so we can help?

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

This will help those who are having problem installing the drivers.

Let us know
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mermigas:
I am on Windows 10. Drivers installed as per guides and of course driver signing is disabled during installation. Here is a screenshot of outcome.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
mermigas please check this tutorial it works for me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbJCbdfPlF8

are you on 32 or 64bit windows?

you'll need to disable signature verification everytime you reboot your pc!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mermigas:
Thanks. This is exactly what I done for 64 bit system. No luck. Any way I will be away from tomorrow for holidays and I will try again when I will be back.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Here is scripts just extract and run Dump.bat and wait
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Any luck with my script?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
i'm curious to know as well if someone tried it

Ran this https://www.androidweblog.com/root-vernee-mars-pro-install-twrp-recovery/ - but recovery installed upside down with no access to the touch screen! Wrote a comment about it, hopefully get a reply shortly!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Shouldn't be there an attachement?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
no it's not..

it's based on a custom rom.

i contacted them and asked them if they can upload the latest Stock Rom
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Check first post i upload it on MEGA.nz ;D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Ah, I see. Will try this afternoon
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Dumping the ROM.

Just to be clear: by dumping userdata all my userdata and all apps are dumped as well? So my bought apps are in the file as well as all my logins, personal data, pics, music, ...?

If this is the case I'd rather don't like to share them and I don't want to reset my phone, if there is another one with the latest ROM and haven't installed his stuff till now.

Btw: system is round about 3 GB.

Edit: finished dumping, userdata couldn't be dummped, it stopped at 32 GB :eek:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
thank you for uploading it!

One question: I tried sp flash to istall this but i can't find the scatter file.

How am i supposed to install it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
As I mentioned before MTKDroidFile doesn't recognize my phone, so I'm not able yet to create the scatter file.

Will try tomorrow again, although I don't have much hope. Tried it several times. VCOM drivers are installed properly, if you ask, otherwise I couldn't have rooted the device.

I used the scatter file [MENTION=5957610]bobslesbricoleurs[/MENTION] gave in the OP, in my opinion it should work as well, since the scatter file is device specific, not ROM specific.

Edit: just read that MTKDroidTools doesn't work with the MTK-chips starting with 67xx, although the post is from june 2016. Will search further and, as said, try again tomorrow.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
let us know if there's any progress
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Wait i'll make a rom package
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
great, will it be ready to use it with sp flash tools including the scatter file?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Yeah, i'm currently downloading dumpresult ;D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
great news, i'm waiting! :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
I need preloader backup of official rom, but i don't know how to backup it.

I've tried Miracle Box 2.27 but my phone is not reconized. I have drivers installed but don't work.

Maybe someone has an other method.

Without preloader we can't doing anything
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
It "seems" MTK Droid Tools isn't maintained anymore, as I read here. It's german, but it clearly says that "Unfortunately, the MTK Droid Tools have not been updated for a long time." and that the tool doesn't work with the MTK chips starting with 67xx.

So it seems that you can't create scatter files of newer phones using the 67er chips.

In the linked post further down it says it *might* be possible to get some information via adb command, but I tried it without success. the command "cat /proc/emmc", there is no file "emmc" in the directory "proc". Therefore I don't see how I can extract the preloader.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Try with Miracle Box 2.27A i haven't chance with but maybe you yes, i'll search an other method
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
I'll give it a shot
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
have you managed to dump the rom?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Not yet, it seems a bit strange. Will try this evening again.

If I don't succeed, it's gonna be a week till I'm back from vacation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
First post updated with DumpPreloader script

Here's link

Thanks and sorry for waiting ;D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
now all we need is someone with the stok rom to do it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
[MENTION=598894]Tischbein[/MENTION] got it, just wait ^^
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] XN Logos:
here is ROM
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
that is not the stock rom.

This is a rom uploaded months ago in needrom and rebrands the phone completely from Vernee to Vargo.

Also it does not allow for OTA firmware updates.

be carefull with this rom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] XN Logos:
this is a unbrick package, OTA Service automatically Disabled after Rooting..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
in this thread we are talking about the latest stock rom and we are trying to find someone who has the device so that he will dump the rom and upload it for the rest of the users
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Will try again on sunday, latest on monday.

What have you changed in the script [MENTION=5957610]bobslesbricoleurs[/MENTION]?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:

Can i use this to update my unrooted rom? No ota available in for Ukraine for some reason(

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

Anyone has 20170705 update.zip?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
Here's the latest official stock rom by Vernee

http://www.mediafire.com/file/g6k3cbli9luo2pp/full_k11as_a-ota-1502766258.zip

when i choose the scatter file in sp flash tools it says it's invalid, why?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Create a folder named 'Rom' in c:\, paste all containing files from downloaded ota in your created folder and now try to load scatter
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
it still shows the same message, that it's invalid

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

i opened the scatter file with wordpad and it shows this

i don't think this is correct.. what should i do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
No i thinks only zip flash understand this scatter, just copy and past a spflashtool scatter of previous rom in ota folder, and open it with spflashtool ;D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
i have already tried it it doesn't work :rolleyes:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
I'll try soon (about 10mn)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MiKE431:
I would only zip-flash that...

it's script contains operations that spflashtool won't do, which will leave you with the wrong partition hashes
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
i did that too but it says process aborted
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MiKE431:
Can you give a screenshot of the full log?

Are you flashing it from stock recovery or twrp?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
now it's stuck at boot logo..

I tried to flash it from stock recovery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MiKE431:
I'll see what I can do to make a spflashtool package... might take a few hours though, I'm at work.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
I know how to do, and your tutorial is not good we've got android 7.0 not same compression ^^

Will try tomorrow
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] arminass:
Just convert the image. You don't need compressed sparce image. Leave it as is.

I'm already did it and installed new rom thru SP Flash Tool. Everything works fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MiKE431:
Try this. I tested on my own phone by bricking it (overwrite boot/recovery/system with garbage) and recovering it with SPFlashTool.

There are two scatter files - one which wipes user data (if you want to start clean) and one which does not wipe user data (to use as an upgrade). Both of them will remove root and TWRP, but it can be readded using the method in the first post.

The result of flashing this should be an install of Mars_pro_20170815 which passes SafetyNet's basic integrity test.

Edit: Small word of warning. In the SPFlashTool download tab there is a drop down with the option "Format All + Download". DO NOT USE THIS OPTION. There is a number of partitions on the phone which are unique to each phone - they contain data like the IMEI and such. Using this "Format All" option will wipe them out, and the phone will no longer connect to the mobile network. Please leave this option set to "Download Only".

thank you for your effort but sp flash tools show an error that says chip mismatch, why?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ravage2k:
Had an issue with the provided scatter file (without userdata wipe).

Copied over the scatter file from my already flashed K11NAS-A.A.vA05.N0.170414.

Works perfectly. Used the available TWRP recovery from the AIO Root Toolkit to root the device.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
how did you manage to make it work with the scatter file from this rom version?

can you be more specific with the procedure?

which version of sp flash tools did you use?

I tried to do the same thing but the sp flash tools keeps showing me the error chip message
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
my phone now won't even start to boot or do anything!

I tried to flash the rom but the buttons don't do anything.

How can i recover it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Have u compared it with the scatter file in the OT?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
yes. i was finally able to reflash it back to 20170414 rom. I'm having many problems flashing it to the latest
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ravage2k:
I just copied the scatter file of the 20170414 rom to the same directory and used SP Flash for Linux (v5.1728).

Kept the default settings (full factory reset). A lot of partitions were greyed out. But nothing important for the update. The phone was running 20170414 before i started the process.

Unrelated to this: I did an OEM unlock and for example flashed the recovery with fastboot. That should also work for the system and boot partitions. So maybe thats an easier way to apply the updates (.img files).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
nothing seems to work for me :rolleyes:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Reflash custom, system, boot and preloader of your previous rom, i just did same mistake ^^

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
The Dump Script doesn't include a scatter file and as I already said several times: MTKDroidTools doesn't support the newer chips and the tool itself isn't supported anymore.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

Okay, tried to get the scatter file with Miracle Box, didn't work either. Will try to install the drivers once again.

But I found something else: by holding the volume keys at the same time for several seconds you can enter a service menue. At least I think it is one, there are a bunch of chinese letters I can't read but I tried to enter some.

One was for the LED, so I can confirm that there are at the current time 3 different colors: red, green, blue. although there is another color shown while loading the device, som ekind of mixture between green and yellow. I hope that in the next updates we will be able to chose the color as different kind of notification light.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:

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

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
It ask you lockscreen or sim?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
If I'm not wrong you had to enter a password when you initialized the phone. It should be entered every time you restart the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
it asks me before it starts...

i entered default_password and it worked.

Now the phone is turned off and does not turn on.

How do i manage to turn it on?

My phone received with stock Rom 20170705222633 and upgraded to August version.

Media Tek drivers were installed since I had the Vernee Thor model and S PFlash tool worked perfectly in this device ( I've just used the flash tool on vernee Thor with success).

In the contrary the flash tool doesn't recognize my Vernee Mars pro and also there is no way to dump the new Rom.

Any clues?
