Oukitel K3

Also my K3 works like new after flashing the ROM - but how to get root is the question I am asking now, afraid to use the file again which das destroyed the whole system
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Penych:
Just wait, it's not so easy to break protection. TWRP you tried to flash also works, but you need to do exactly like manual from 4PDA guides, it's needed to install SuperSU just after installing TWRP before you can boot normally. But IMEI numbers still be hided after bootloader unlocking, what means you can't use phone functions.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Alberto96:
Unfortunately no.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Levered:
Yes, now my devices has no imei number. maybe i've unlock bootloader
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Penych:
If you tried to install TWRP you should unlock bootloader first. Perhaps after unbricking you still have bootloader unlocked.

I expect your devise is clean, so you can try without risk to loose data to unlock bootloader using fastboot, hope you know how to do it. With old initial firmware there was text on bootscreen about unlocked bootloader, don't know if it still with newer firmware. Just check...

Second option, that you wiped NVRAM and your imei numbers are lost... I hope you didn't and I'm wrong...
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Levered:
I've lock bootloader again after flash twrp(it's working). After that my device can't to boot. I tried to flash firmware you give(format+download).
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Alberto96:
Format all + Download = IMEI erased.

Only choose "Firmware Upgrade" or "Download only" to upgrade your device's firmware, otherwise you will regret it, as you experienced now.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Levered:
nevermind, now i can using the phone call and data. :)

(while my imei is unknown) lol

Thanks for all:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Penych:
This is really bad, that you did format. I expect, you didn't backuped NVRAM before doing experiments with device and now IMEIs are lost.

There are some methods to restore lost IMEIs after NVRAM wiping, I hope you could manage with it. Easiest one is to use engineering mode. Type in stock dialer *#*#3646633#*#* to enter Engineering Mode.

Go to Connectivity->CDS Information" -> "Radio Information" -> "Phone1"

In field with AT+ you should type EGMR=1,7,"your_imei1" and push button "SEND AT COMMAND"

Going one level up, then to "Phone2" where typing AT+EGMR=1,10,"your_imei2" and push button "SEND AT COMMAND"

Exiting Engineering Mode and restarting your device. To check IMEI use dialer with code *#06#

Hope it will help you! Good luck!
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Levered:
Thanks for this, but get "this comand is not allowed in userbuild" while i've input AT +EGMR or AT+ EGMR
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Penych:
So easiest way doesn't work... There are other methods for IMEI restoration on phones with MTK, you should google for it.

Good luck!

[Oukitel (All phone models)] Levered:
Use latest version v3.08 firmware

MD1_DB use MDDB_InfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6750_S00_MOLY_LR11_W1603_MD_MP_V35_4_P9_1_ulwctg_n.EDB

AP_DB use APDB_MT6755_S01_alps-mp-n0.mp7_W17.37

[Oukitel (All phone models)] Penych:
Well, itself it's working, but with lots of issues and without chanse to start cellular network working. Mostly it's because of bootloader unlocking problem, nobody could break it's protection.

Maybe you can, you may try if you want so much :)

---------- Post added at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------

Have you tried it with K3?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ilmervanhattem:
Strange. The bootloader should've be unlocked right? Maybe try different command in fastboot like

fastboot flashing unlock critical

? Don't know, maybe I'm going to contact Oukitel or brick my device. :fingers-crossed:
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Penych:
In K3 after bootloader unlocking user data will be cleaned if you do normal reboot after unlocking and for regular booting will be used different boot partition without cellular line support.

So if you going to unlock bootloader don't reboot as usual instruction says but switch off device and start immediately flash TWRP, then reboot into recovery, confirm TWRP and root device with super su. Only after that you can start device normally. But cellular will not work.

I don't know if root will stay after bootloader locking again.

You can always unbrick device with original firmware using SP Flashtool, just don't format device if you don't have backup of nvram.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Levered:
I have already working to make root and network work together.

Done porting new twrp recovery based on new firmware and boot.img with including magisk root.

But,

It's need to unlock for flashing this both files, and it's work. Got rooted but network can't to detect(simcard).

For make this simcard worked, you need locked bootloader again, but it's will get notification " Red State Bootloader" and your phone can't boot normally.

To Solved that, you need to flashing stock firmware again but your root will lost.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] !PILOT:
I'm not sure if I understand correctly. Are you saying you've got ROOT and SIM CARD working together?

Could you list your procedure in steps for us please.

I don't want to be unnecessarily going around in circles locking and unlocking the bootloader, as it wipes my userdata every time.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Levered:
I mean i still working to find way to make this work together

*give up
[Oukitel (All phone models)] !PILOT:
I'm in the same boat as you now.

Since my bootloader was unlocked, I went ahead and installed TWRP + Magisk. Root is confirmed working on the phone, but still no cellular network (which Android disables by default as a security measure when oem bootloader is unlocked).

Levered, you mentioned that you locked bootloader again after this, but it does not boot normally.

Mine is in ORANGE STATE when bootloader is unlocked. Is there a RED STATE also? What happens exactly?

I'm guessing there's no celluar/simcard network because IMEI# is missing when bootloader gets unlocked.

I would assume if I RESTORED the IMEI#, I would be able to get cellular/simcard working again?

I was not able to get MauiMETA to connect to my phone to restore the IMEI#. I'll try again tomorrow
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Levered:

But still Manual controls app says device not compatible??
[Oukitel (All phone models)] !PILOT:
Looks like if you flash the recovery with TWRP, it fails the boot verification and goes into RED STATE and refuses to start.

I will continue to mess around with it tomorrow and try to restore my IMEI# in ORANGE STATE (bootloader unlocked), which hopefully will bring back cellular/simcard network.

This method will not work If the bootloader is unlocked
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ->---:
I tried to flash the 3.08 firmware with both, SP_Flash_Tool and SP_MTD. Both did not work. SP_MTD gave me a clearer hint to the problem. It says COM port is used twice. For Brom and Preloader.

In the SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.ini file I can see the following:

[Ports]
Channel0=5
Channel1=0
Channel2=0
Channel3=0
.
.
.
[PreloaderPorts]
Channel0=4
Channel1=0
Channel2=0
Channel3=0
Channel4=0
Channel5=0
.
.

So yes, Channel0 is used for port 4 and 5.

The information for the ini is created by loading the scatter file I guess.

Where does the information for the COM ports come from? Can I simply put one of them to another channel?

Is there a problem with my drivers?

Do I have to unlock the bootloader before flashing the firmware update with one of the tools in any case? I thought this would just be neccessary in case I try to flash something non-OUKITEL?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Levered:
Please re-install your driver
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ->---:
Reinstalled the driver. Afterwards I tried it again with SP_Flash_Tool and it worked. But this time I connected the phone in Flash mode. In my first attempts with this one I did just connect it to the USB port without holding Power & Vol- . Maybe that was my mistake with SP_Flash_Tool. So I cannot tell if it was the driver or the changed mode of connecting.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

Tried to flash this one directly after v3.08. Flash Tool tells me "status_preloader_invalid". Do I have to overwrite preloader when updating from v3.03 to 3.08? I did update based on this description: https://www.chinamobilemag.de/tutorials/sp-flash-tool-universal-tutorial.html

They write to uncheck preloader because of possible brick risk, so I did not overwrite it. The update worked, no errors, correct version shown in system settings. But maybe it is neccessary for your boot.img?

Edit: It has to be another problem. I reflashed, this time with overwriting preloader but still the same error code. The boot.img file with Magisk included is not flashable in my case.

Booting into different modes:

- Fastboot mode: press [Vol +] and connect to USB

- Recovery mode: press [Vol -] and [Power] until phone starts; restart is the last point in the chinese menu, formatting is done with the one that contains eMMC

When in the dialer use the following codes for menu/information:

show IMEI numbers: *#06#

Rooting thoughts

Okay guys. Hi! :)

I was thinking of how to root this device and I think it's easily possible and don't know why I didn't thought like this before.

Rooting works, but cellular functions are not working after the root. But if you flash TWRP and after that flash a custom rom like a modified stock rom (without the cellular protection) or ported LineageOS or MIUI or whatever. Then flash Magisk or SuperSU or better integrate into the rom.

This should work right? Or am I forgetting something?

Would love to learn how to build a custom rom, but don't have the knowledge now and only time till the end of the year, because then my new job and study are starting and have to work and/or learn all the time. But would love it. Maybe we can make a development team?!

Take care you all and all the best wishes for the new year.
