Not yet talking about a TWRP Recovery here ?

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Stock recovery below earlier post. You need to flash the stock Recovery and flash stock rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fusiony:
Ye what i did to get out of bootloop is:

1. Boot into fastboot (TWRP: Reboot-Bootloader)

2. On your PC download 15sec ADB Driver Downloader

3.Download the stock recovery and extract it in the ADB folder

4. In the folder hold down SHIFT and right-click , click on open command window(cmd)

5. In the CMD write: fastboot devices. You should see your device listed.Then type fastboot oem unlock.You should get a message on your phone screen, just press on the volume up button.

6. Then do: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(make sure you save your recovery like this)

6. You should get get another message on the screen , press the volume up button again.

Done!

PS: If you dont have your rom you have to flash it with SP flashtools after you flashed your recovery.(I have the scatter file and stock rom,pm me)

If your having any trouble or need the link PM me and ill text you them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alekoze:
Thank you both

I flashed the stock recovery and after that indeed manage to flash the rom.

Unfortunetly after that the rom has the same problems as before, and it's crashing all the time, even right after and during the first setup.

If you think that flashing the stock rom from the computer could stop the crashes, i would love to get the needed files and links, as well as a basic guide on how to do it, i don't have experience with flashing roms via sp. If you could do that it would be most helpfull, and maybe even solve the problem for me and for others like me.

Thanks very much

hi, I just got this phone, updated OS to last security update, unlocked bootloader and then jumped to step 7 - downloaded and flashed patched boot. after restart I still have no root - tried to install superSu, SU binaried occupied, rootchecker also says there is no root.

Hello,

as I said in a previous post I do currently not have much time for developing a custom rom.

At least I would like to show you that I am working on it. Therefore I'm going to release the source code.

However, lots of components are not working. This means, I will not release a rom in the next months (lack of time, many issues need to be fixed and I do not like to release something that does not work properly).

Please keep being patient.

Hi,

so far we have two options to root our device:

Root with patched kernel: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75250765&postcount=66

Root with TWRP: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76036931&postcount=117

There is no custom rom so far. Please read my statement about this.

Another problem not mentioned there is the problem that Mediatek (chip manufacturer for Vernee M5) keeps everything private, even the kernel source.

Concerning the drivers we need to work around functions that cause errors/are not available.

In my device tree only the following components are tested and working so far:

Display

Vibration feedback

WiFi

Camera (front + back and torch)

Speakers

Microphone

Notification LED

Gravity / Rotation sensor

This is in my opinion not enough for releasing a rom.

Getting everything working properly takes its time.

I do not think about a release soon.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ResurrectedRobot:
Hello,

I spent the recent days looking into the MTK's kernel source (see discussion above).

Unfortunately I have to say it will be very hard if not impossible to build M5's kernel from source.

The reasons are:

The kernel has not been updated for two and a half years now, a lot of patches would need to be merged for being protected against all known vulnerabilities (aproximately around 6000)

Even if the kernel comfiguration files state that the mt6755 platform (used in M5) is supported many files needed for really supporting it are missing and would need to be imported from other device's kernels

We do not know the exact hardware of the M5. So generating a kernel configuration file is still hard (and maybe some drivers we need are not in the kernel).

I do not think about having a from-source-built kernel soon.

Getting the hardware working is more important for now.

New version M6

https://www.gizmochina.com/2018/03/06/vernee-m6-189-display-upgrade-m5-exposed-video/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ResurrectedRobot:
Hi,

I do not think it is worth buying a M6 if you already own a M5 (unless you want to have the bigger screen, the other hardware is mainly the same).

Moreover, Vernee has not even released a rom for the M6, making it almost impossible to build a custom rom.

Concerning the M5 custom rom, I am still working on it. I think I'll make an initial release once the radio is working,

but I tried almost everything that came into my mind and it still does not work.

So far, these components are NOT working:

Radio (FM, Telephony)

GPS

Fingerprint sensor (only works till reboot, weird)

taking videos (taking photos works surprisingly)

encryption

enforced selinux

So far, my work is based on LineageOS 14.1 I do not think we have a realistic chance for getting Oreo because Vernee has not released the kernel source but we need to patch the kernel in order to work with Oreo.

However, if the built kernel for M6 is released we can maybe use this one (because M6 has Oreo AFAIK and does not seem to really differ from M5). But let's get Nougat working first.

You can follow the development here if you wish to do so.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ResurrectedRobot:
Hi,

concerning Oreo on M5 is impossible. The M5 kernel's source was not released but we can not use the Nougat kernel for Oreo due to the new kernel interfaces for treble.

Moreover we can not port a kernel because M5 has some kernel drivers that are not available in form of source code.

Concerning the hardware support I'm almost giving up, nothing has changed in the last two weeks https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76543321&postcount=134

but I spent the last two weeks to get more hardware working, without success.

If someone has a tip or knows how to get something working, please let me know and I'll try to get it working.

Concerning the next time, my M5 development will not be as active as it has been until now because I spent lots of my free time of the last months on this ROM without success.

I'd like to pause the development for a few weeks now (this will also help to decrease the frustration that was built in the last weeks).

However, I'm always open-minded for new ideas, new attemps to get something working etc. If someone decides to continue development by making pull requests, I'll defenitely review them.

I'm optimistic that one day we will have a fully working custom rom.
