I don't know what effect the nodded ROM might have, but you cannot register on UK servers because they don't exist any more. So change to US version and then try again.

It seems like it's time for me to flash stock. Bought Google Home and my rooted chromecast with old firmware does not support voice control.

Just wished we could get that latest working firmware and freeze updates from there. I think it would be sufficient version. (maybe)

Keeping one rooted for fun if something ever comes up.

So far I haven't had any use whatsoever for rooted unit but it was at least fun. [emoji16]

[ROM][OREO][ALPHA] Unofficial LineageOS-15.0 for D855
[G3 Android Development] ianthemojo:
It begins!
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
oh thanks! I am compiling my LineageOS right now:)

keep it up!

//edit

I flashed it on my own phone and it felt a little heart-attack on the beginning of the boot. After the LG logo disappeared it showed black screen. I really didn't know what does it mean but it get to the bootanimation quickly. It got stuck in resetloop(?) - it kept resetting until it died. I kept on powering it up until it finally boots but it only showed System UI has crashed and died one more time. I thought it may be an issue related to GApps so I tried to boot it up without them. This ended up with failure as well. Any time I try to launch the system, it just crashes. Not to mention that I couldn't flash it without removing the first line in the updater-script just to flash it.

Completely disappointed, I thought this could be a revolution to G3. Keep it up, but don't release not working ROMs.

(Removing SIM card and SDCard didn't help obviously)

I recognize the work of a dev to bring a new rom, in this case the first rom oreo for D855, but I do not know to what extent it makes sense to "publish" a rom with so many limitations (really what works is minimal).

Hi,

I need some help.

So i rooted my D855 G3.

I then flashed the TWRP recovery image on the phone. Now every time i try to boot to recovery mode , my phone shows a "boot certification verify error" in the top left corner and then goes to a black screen with the LED flashing blue and red.

I am able to get back into my regular phone OS , so its not bricked. I have tried several methods of getting into recovery mode (apps, holding power + vol down, adb).

Please can someone help me with this , ive read soo many threads but cannot find a straight answer on how to get passed the error

Thanks

Null imei

Hi. I looking for some help for imei repair on this phone. I already tried lots of things (list below) but none of them worked. So i looking for someone with this phone and some experience with format flashing and imei restoring... Yes, i did it :D

I actually backed up my nvram before so i did not get nvram wifi error but my imei is gone and after week i stil did not figured out how to repair my imei:null problem.

Here is what i tried :

MTK Droid tools - Does not recognize my phone as rooted (blue square instead of green)

Maui meta - Phone connected, but when i tried imei change, i got this error.

China miracle and Miracle box did not start at all.

MTK Imei did not actually work. It does not react to phone.

IMEI&SN Writer

I got this error

After that i tried imei change with imei.exe (nothing happened) Then i tried some apk's (chamelephon, and some x... that framework things)

And when i tried to change imei via mtk engineer mode, button imei change or imei change fields did not appeared anywhere.

If you have any tips, please share them with me.

Sorry for bothering you but i am really out of ideas :(
[Oukitel (All phone models)] xxirioxx:
I solved using ToolHero from mobileuncle

Remember you need to root your device first.

In order to apply the ne IMEIs, the app requires you to share, you can just share to a fake contact ;)
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Druid_CZ:
Thank for your help! But sadly, i tried mobileucle (i got not supported message) And tool hero sayed he changed my imei but actually nothing happened. But still thank for reply!
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ShrugF:
Hey, thanks for the links and all that but when I press volume up + power, it boots into a screen where it says "kein befehl" (which is german for "no command") and if you then press volume up + power again it will boot into the stock recovery ("Android Recovery"), but not the TWRP Recovery.

I used SP Flash Tool as administrator and it said that the download succeeded.

My phone had OEM Unlocked and USB Debugging active. (Oukitel K4000 Plus)

Could you please help me get TWRP going or maybe tell me an other way of getting root installed?

Any help is appreciated!
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Alberto96:
You should not turn on your device before booting into TWRP otherwise it will be overwritten by the stock recovery automatically
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ShrugF:
Thanks for the answer!

But I didn't turn it on before. What I did is:

Unlock OEM in settings + enable USB Debugging

Turn off the device

Start SP Flash Tool as admin, select scatter file, only check 'recovery', set to 'Download only'

Click the 'Download' button, then AFTER that, connect phone to PC

Wait for the downloading process (takes like 3-5 seconds) until it says "Download Ok"

Disconnect phone from PC

Hold Volume UP + Power

Oh and what I forgot to mention is that when I hold Volume UP + Power it boots up until the point where you see the Oukitel logo (not the animated one) and then it just resets and once again boots up until it gets to the Oukitel logo and it keeps on doing that until I let go of Volume UP + Power for a moment and then start holding it again when the Oukitel logo pops up again. THEN it resets into the "kein befehl"-(which is german for "no command") screen (which I mentioned before).

best regards,

ShrugF
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Alberto96:
You should let go ONLY the power button as soon as the screen turns on.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ShrugF:
Solved

EDIT: Thank you, I used an other version of TWRP (this one) and it works perfectly fine now. Have a nice day :)

Original post:

If I let go of the power button (but not the Volume UP button) as soon as the screen turns on (the Oukitel logo is displayed) it will still do what I described (it keeps on resetting on the Oukitel logo).

Edit:

1. I have read something about that you need to unlock your bootloader (additionally to Unlocking OEM and enabling USB Debugging) first. Could it be that this applies to me as well? And if yes, what do I need to do?

2. The first time starting the phone it asked me to do a system update. And I let it do the update. Could the problem be that you need the version of the system that was on the phone when it was delivered? And if yes then I only need to do a factory reset before rooting right?

3. If I dont flash TWRP then I get into the recovery without problems, but when I flash TWRP onto it then it does like described above (keeps on resetting).

best regards,

ShrugF

White Screen fixable?

Quite disappointed. Used Oukitel models before and have never had a problem adding a custom rom or changing back to a stock version until now.

Ended up with a white screen.

Followed the instructions from this website

{Mod edit: Link to paid services website removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

Did exactly what it asked which seemed logical.

The stock rom came from here

However I now have a white screen. How do I go about fixing this? I defnitely have a Oukitel K4000 Plus (sticker in the battery)
[Oukitel (All phone models)] xxirioxx:
Don't worry, I had the same problem. There are two versions of k4000 plus. The newest requires at least firmware version 1.5 and you probably installed 1.3 stock.

Download 1.7 firmware from 4pda. I cannot post the link so search on google...
[Oukitel (All phone models)] LincolnSimms:
Thanks for that. Applied version 1.7. Device accepted it which is great. Battery not recharging through but no white screen!. So at least one step closer.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] LincolnSimms:
** Removed the battery and reconnected it. Was the able to recharge the phone. Now trying to load TWRP which isn't working. Always end up with the stock version. Have followed all the instruction as listed from previous comments. Still no luck ***

If you pull the notification bar down there is the settings icon. Hold the icon for a few seconds for it to spin and then pull down, it will go to settings and a new option will appear under Printing, System UI tuner. There you can hide icon from the top bar, like network because I wanted to hide the 4G icon (ugly icon :)) but it also hides the network signal.. you can also display seconds in time and other options. Also you can enable Power notification control levels which will let you then set higher level of notification for certain apps like gmail, messages to get heads up notification which you can't by default.

Also I tested the latest pixel 2 launcher port from xda, the launcher works perfectly and it's better thank stock.

Cubot is supporting root? I mean, will they invalidate your Warranty if you root? If yes I will wait at end of Warranty

Anyone found a version of Google camera newer than 4.1.006.135988111 (arm) working on magic? All 4.1 versions have this bug that when you go back from viewing photos to camera the preview is rotated. Seems to have better quality and it doesn't lag in low light.

TWRP and root

do I see this right: the only way to root the Phone is by TWRP and SuperSU but there is no TWRP or CWM?

Maybe someone nice could provide us with a useable Recovery then ? :)

Thx in advance
[Android General] Sisqo:
I've tried making a custom recovery decompiling the stock recovery and copying the necessary files to a twrp of a similar device with the same CPU 6737 but I get black screen and after booting to os it replaces the recovery with the stock one, maybe someone with more knowledge can port it.. after that it's easy to flash SuperSU from custom recovery.. I've tried several ways to root device, no luck. Mtk Droid tools doesn't support this device.
[Android General] Sisqo:
For lagging camera, i've installed "Footej Camera" from play store and there is a option there "Stabilization" you can enable it if supported, after enabling it in low light it doesn't lag that much. So the problem is with the installed camera that it isn't optimized for our mobile.

Another interesting app that i found is "Button Mapper" that you can change the behavior of bottom hardware buttons like double tapping the Home button can turn the screen off. This can be implemented in the rom like a option in settings so you can turn the screen off without using the power button.

As a launcher i'm using the Pixel 2 launcher port from xda which is very smooth and nice works perfectly with cubot magic, it's way better than stock (i've said that before).

Any news on rom development for this device?

There might be preinstalled, none-removable malware in it! I didn't look into older firmware but last days I noticed the following sympthoms: 4 Apps installed overnight / in the background (one night I didn't sleep but there was no install notification whatsoever) : App Tools (com.ms.service), Calculator (net.mobile.calculator_exchange), launcher (com.gamen.rope) and either GStore (com.ukl.pl) or TBrowser (forgot to write down the ID but got a backup of the apk, so might provide it later). There's 100% CPU usage on all cores which causes a sluggish UI and you'll get weird SMSes with TANs untill you deinstall said 4 apps (but the next day they will be back). No malware scanner found anything but a firewall blocked FOTAProvider[¹]. After removing FOTAProvider the app "Scheduled Power On/Off" tries to connect to the exact same servers but I don't think there's a way to remove that. Anyway, no more probems since blocking it with a firewall.

The funny thing is this Maleware is old but experts said it would be able to do what it does now (download other malware / be coupled with system apps other than FOTAProvider) back then[²].

I'd really like to develop something, but I'm completely out of time. And, cubot doesn't give us the source code, making extremely difficult and time-consuming for developers to compile a ROM where everything works.
