You only need the boot.img if you are not rooted. Because if you flash twrp s8 how would you boot into it?

Hardkeys don't work. So you need to be rooted and download an advanced power menu from playstore like "reboot recovery" to boot into it

If I'm rooted and I'm using dragon ROM v2.0, do I just boot into recovery and flash the zips?
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skeleton1911:
Yes .

After you flashed the recovery via flashtools

You can reboot to recovery and flash the rom.zip v2.2 of eragon.

[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skeleton1911:
You enter the test mode with that.

We don't have a solution ATM to enter in recovery mode.

So you have to flash the patched boot.img etc..

Can you help me with the flashtool?

I've "installed" the drivers(it runs the program but then at the end says 3 things failed)

Now I'm in the flash tool and loaded the scatter file but it isnt detecting the phone as connected(probably because of the above)

Hi,

iam Tying to flash the eragon Rom on my Phone and so i startet with the tut and flashing twrp ... but nothing works really like discribed and i need help.

I can´t get the SP Flash tool to send anything to my phone ..... the drivers are installed correctly, but i think my pc doesnt recognize my phone when ist powered off.

In the tutorial it says after installing the drivers, the turned off, but plugged in phone should accour as a Preloader unknown device .... but nothing happens in the device manager when i plug in the powerd off phone .... no matter if i just plug it in or pressing vol+ at the same time.

Where did i make a mistake or whats the probleme here ? Hope you guys can help.

best regards

[TWRP Recovery] TWRP Recovery for Elephone S8

Good afternoon, I was able to install Eragon 2.2 rom. I used it for a few weeks now but I did a factory reset and now it only boots in TWRP mode. I tried reinstalling the eragon version 2.2 but still starting the system in TWRP mode. In the infinite loop in TWRP mode, you can tell me what I need to do to normalize my System. I just gave the S8 to my son, but unfortunately this problem happened.

THANK YOU.
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] anox:
No idea. That's weird. Usually, I just keep holding Vol-up or Vol-down and then plug it.

After TWRP is installed, there is no way to reboot into it (recovery) using a hardware key combination. An app is required to do so. That kind of apps needs root. Therefore, Magisk is needed to provide root.

Did you flash the modified boot.img before flashing the TWRP?

If you're on the latest stock rom (20171018), you may flash my modified boot.img here. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74267912&postcount=22

Please read the OP carefully.

I personally don't use Eragon rom, but how about a fresh start?

Flash the official rom (all partitions) by the recommended Flashtool. Here is the official link. https://mega.nz/#!4rZX0TZY!Uqsg-btlZeMjDT9-jZDlf3yZfDNAjA7bVUe75xlckPw

If that solves the issue, then you can flash whatever you wish afterwards.
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Djentist:
Well, my problem is solved for months now. I did flash the boot image with Flash Tools and then used TWRP's official app to install the recovery. But thanks anyway!
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Henkl:
Thank you for the answer..however.. using the flashtool..it recognises only for a few seconds my elephone..than nothing.. and only a part is flashed....I think only the boot.img?
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] anox:
Try this. This will delete everything on the phone and put the latest official rom on it.

- Download the driver & flashtool from the official Elephone website.

Driver: https://mega.nz/#!HtoEiDiQ!7eXZzzJ0CSoEwdqTpxZxKB8WJU6euxfLpY6byTWl0mQ

SP_Flash_Tool: https://mega.nz/#!zt4WFTIZ!HJL5UaUDW2l3tJKZ3hLpKHbFZUZMUFDWUzR_tFNPzeU

- Install the driver

- Install the flashtool

- Open the flashtool, select the download tab

> download-agent: select MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin in the flashtool folder

> scatter-loading file: select MT6797_Android_scatter.txt in the official rom folder

> on the dropdown: select format all + download

> make sure all partitions are ticked

- Flash away. While flashing, try not to use the computer or touch the phone at all :)

boot.img

do i need these other files in Elephone+s8+root.zip, or only that boot.img for rooting?
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] anox:
Yeah, basically you only need boot.img if you know exactly what you're doing.

However, the 2 zip files were created at different times for different purposes. I don't want to go into details here.

To make it easy for everyone, just try the following:

If you only want to root the latest stock rom (20171018), just flash this: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74267912&postcount=22 And, you need to install Magisk manager.

Then, if you also want TWRP, just flash "TWRP S8.zip" on the OP, afterwards. And, you need to install an app to reboot into TWRP.
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Erkki123:
So i flash .ZIP root file to get root access, not only boot.img? Sorry, i have bad enghlis... :cyclops:
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] anox:
No, you cannot flash a zip file using Flashtool.

I suggest you read some guide how to use Flashtool first before flashing anything.

There is a guide on this page https://xdaforums.com/elephone-s8/how-to/tutorial-elephone-s8-root-tutorial-t3688171

Or do a google/youtube search and try to see how to Flashtool works.

[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joh9:
It's not important that your bootloader is looked/unlocked. You must:

1. download all files and place them on your desktop

2. flash my modified boot.img (magisk root) with flashtools (if flashtools don't detect your phone with "vol+ & power" use instead "vol+ & vol- & power")

3. flash TWRP recovery with flashtools

4. reboot the Phone and install magisk manager app

5. start magisk manager , it will tell you that your phone has root

6. go to playstore and download the app called reboot recovery ( its a very small app)

7. reboot to recovery.

2. Reboot the Phone and use app called reboot recovery to boot to Recovery

3. Optional Perform a fullwipe in recovery (wipe/advance/ system,data,cache and dalvik)

4. Find in Recovery "Choose zip from sdcard" choose appropriate zip file (Eragon-rom)

5. Proceed steps installer gives

6. Reboot device after finishing installation

Hope that helps

I think there maybe a way from that menu to boot into recovery. (holding power & Vol- while booting phone)

Because today i was messing around with that Chinese menu, blindly trying different options and i somehow factory reset my phone:(

So its defiantly more than just a test mode.:cyclops:

[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] anox:
Thanks for the tip.

I didn't see that before. :) Magisk Manager> Modules> 3-dot Menu

For those who'd like to have a separate app for that, there are a number of reboot apps around.

but how do i do it?

I have downloaded SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1744_Win

because when i do that nothing happens

i feel like im banging my head on my desk at this point
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Schumi_wk:
I will try to explain, I think your almost there.

First make sure you have all the drivers installed so your PC can see the phone, otherwise all the rest is useless.

In case your drivers are installed.

1)Turn your phone off and remove the cable from the PC

2) Open the Flash_tool.exe as administrator

3) Scatter loading file, you choose the scatter file that was downloaded with the boot.img

4) In the box under the authantication file, make sure it's Download Only

5) Press the above Download button or use ctrl+D

6) This one is very important! While you connect your phone to the PC make sure your volume + button is pushed

7) Wait for a minute and all should be fine.

And do the same for the recovery image.

Hope it will work for you.
