Hi

Just one doubt if a I flash twrp or firmware with flashtool , I do unlocking the bootloader before or not necessary?
[Android Software Development] sodeepinside:
Nothing. I did everything possible but nothing. It gives me a red bar in just less than a second and then the error. I think the device has some internal hardware issues. Maybe, I don't know....

I live in Lebanon and I think I will send it back to China.

Thank you anyway.
[Android Software Development] Cleopatra Bianchi:
answer

To send back to China a bricked phone ? I highly doubt you will be able to do it.

Do you have already tried to hold the "volume up" when you connect the phone to the pc ?

Do not worry, I have still some suggestions to give you (to restore your phone).
[Android Software Development] sodeepinside:
You will not believe it!! I ordered the 4GB version but received the 6GB. I discovered it few minutes ago looking at the box!! That's why when I updated OTA I downloaded the 4GB rom from Vernee.cc. Now I need the 6GB flashable rom.

But where from?
[Android Software Development] Cleopatra Bianchi:
answer

Ooooh my God ! A fine mess you have made ! :eek:

The next time you should be a little more careful.

I do not know where you can find a flashable stock rom for 6 GB model.

Try to ask to someone or surf the net to find it.

A solution could be install the twrp for 6 GB model at the next thread :

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/vernee-mix2-4-6gb-modding-thread-t3730598

Then, ask to someone (with the Mix 2 6 GB) his/her twrp backup.

Then, restore the backup.

Another solution could be to flash the boot and the system (inside OTA for 6 GB) with twrp.

But this option need a conversion from dat to img
[Android Software Development] sodeepinside:
I know that I did a big mess but it is the seller's fault. I reviewed the order and yes I ordered the 4GB version that's why I directly downloaded the 4GB OTA update. Anyway due to the fact that I am not very expert with android stuff, and in order to avoid further disasters, I think I will wait for a flashable 6GB rom or otherwise I will only revive the phone via TWRP but how exactly?
[Android Software Development] zogu:
If you can flash twrp, just flash 6gb ota from twrp.. It will work.
[Android Software Development] sodeepinside:
But how to install TWRP on a dead phon? Via SP flashtool?

Thank you
[Android Software Development] zogu:
Did you oem unlock phone before brick?

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

When you flashed OTA from 4gb version, you didn't flash recovery, nvdata and most important partitions.

Can you attach scatter file from zip from 6gb version and [MENTION=7332068]Cleopatra Bianchi[/MENTION] can convert this file for sp flash tool. Flash all except system.

You should be able to enter stock recovery after that, you will have stock boot, recovery and preloader.

Then from stock recovery you can flash 6gb version.

Sorry, i'm not good with sp flash and don't have pc at home to try (it should be easy to prepare scatter), but i think it is your best option now.

Don't worry, you will repair it.

Hope [MENTION=7332068]Cleopatra Bianchi[/MENTION] has time to help you.

Is there anyway I can update my Mix 2 6GB with the OTA from 15 Dec using the built-in OTA Wireless Update function?
[Android Software Development] bombic:
How to enable webview that is disabled on this phone. I think this is the problem for my mail app.
[Android Software Development] 75monza:
3G/4g/LTE bands

Maybe a dumb question as nowhere on the site can I find the info to enable additional bands on a mediatek phone. I got the phone has it had LTE Band 7, and my carrier, telus, states they have Band 7. What telus does not make well known is their band 7 is limited deployment and have now discovered not in my area. The rest of the stock enabled bands on the Vernee Mix 2 are not compatible with telus.

I know other phone with the MTK Helio P25 have other bands enbled so I assume all bands are there on the chip, but only certain ones enabled. If I could get B2 and or B4 LTE, or even 3G Bands enabled then I would have a phone. Otherwise it s useless. I their is achance of adding frequencies, I would keep the phone. otherwise it is of the auction on ebay.

Please feel free to enightem me on the prospects of ever getting additional bands working.
[Android Software Development] madz78:
I did it downloading the file, local update option with the phone connected to a charger. It worked for me.
[Android Software Development] Jetteroh:
That is between of the Developer settings of the phone

Tapatalkkal küldve az én MIX 2 eszközömről
[Android Software Development] Klaus69:
Sadly, u cannot enable other bands.
[Android Software Development] estuardo4:
I don't think there's an easy solution. All threads on xda-developers listing a way to do this, they all have in common at least more than 30 steps, conversions, downloads and confusion. And also, other common theme is that if the band is not used on other markets, it won't be possible to activate, even if it's there on the chip.

I made a mistake buying this phone because it doesn't support 3G or LTE in my country, so I'm stuck with EDGE speeds. I certainly knew it wouldn't be compatible with LTE, but I didn't check 3G bands.
[Android Software Development] js1970:
Guys, one question please. Can we enable Miravision on this phone? I bought my wife a Maze Alpha and this app really does a difference in the screen colours and tones... I think this is a ´´Mediatek exclusive´´...
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
That is a consequence of several failures, the seller sends 6GB, does not check it, and if I install with stock recovery, the most serious of the vernee, should not be able to install the 6GB in the 4GB, it is a big mistake, the installation should have arrested.

I created a rom for you, I extracted the 6GB files, for the flash tool tutorial of [MENTION=4945206]ghost45[/MENTION].

Please say if it works, it can be useful for others in your same situation.

[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Have you build a rom from my tutorial?

But the system and userdata are different how do you have checked them?

Where are the hex of these partitions?
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
Sorry, it must be the translation.

I wanted to say that I would follow the steps of your tutorial to install by flahs tool.

The scatters of the two ota look the same, I have unzipped the system in img

and user data is from the 4GB version

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

It is not verified or tested, just try with phones that are brick.

It is only possible that with those files you can resuscitate the phone.
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Hi Amadeus,

yes i have undestood your intention,

but the version of 6gb have different partitions the system and userdata and i don't have the correct hex to build the scatter file.

The short scatter in the ota firmware is not good to build the scatter original file for flashtool.

I have already build one version for flashtool with original files 6gb but without the scatter.

Here:

But i need

instructions

to rebuild the correct scatter file for flashtool.

but the people here that have the device of 6gb must run these commands:

F:\adb>adb shell
MIX_2:/ $ cat /proc/partitions

MIX_2:/ $ su
MIX_2:/ # sgdisk --print /dev/block/mmcblk0

F:\adb>fastboot devices
NB45071511000001 fastboot
F:\adb>fastboot getvar all

After will be possible to build the scatter file for flashtool.

:good:
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
I did not know he was working on the 6GB version, he did not intend to step on his work, he just wanted to help recover the phone.

Then we hope that soon the rom, for me there is no problem.
[Android Software Development] mattparks:
Is anyone else having issues with Snapchat after using this guide to fix there phone. The app worked before I bricked my phone and revived it, now it throws temporary login failures.
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
. Ok ok no problem but i need help for the before commands
[Android Software Development] zogu:
Unroot phone or temporary disable root.
[Android Software Development] XoL:
Hi.

Thanks MSD-Amadeus, it's woking for my bricked 6GB version. I've been able to resucite my device with this ROM flashing via FlashTool.
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
You can give more information.

Install with or without preloader?

download only or firmware upgrade?

Very important, can you enter the stock recovery?
[Android Software Development] XoL:
OK, I'm going to explain all the case.

Previously, I installed TRWP + Magisk on the phone, all worked fine during several days, but I decided to install OTA upgrade for 6GB version downloaded from official website.

When I installed it via settings menu the phone was rebooted and entered in Recovery (TWRP), nothing do, then I installed the OTA from TWRP, no errors showed and reboot... then the phone does entered in a loop boot to TWRP, no System... :crying:

I installed your ROM via FlashTool with all .img files marked. (preloader, recovery, system... all of them) and using Firmware Upgrade option.

I have not tried to enter to recovery yet, I will try asap.
[Android Software Development] sodeepinside:
Thank you a lot!
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
I have seen its publication in need rom of the rom of 6GB, it was not my intention to publish before, just as I said, I wanted to help.

but I understand that another could ahead.

It seems good to me that you do it, half of the files of the rom that I made are yours, and my English is very bad, to give support.:rolleyes:

I see that it lacks the scatter file, I am sorry I can not help with that, I ordered vernee mix 2 of 4GB and it has not arrived, I have been waiting 43 days and it is claimed in paypal.

Sorry for the off topic;)
[Android Software Development] thecroupier:
[MENTION=8746259]MSD-Amadeus[/MENTION], i hope you get your money back and don't get the phone as looks nice but it has so many issues - i'm not sure we can fix them with a new rom as the hardware is so bad.

stick with xiaomi a1 or xiaomi redmi note 4 the MTK chips are dead snapdragons rule!
[Android Software Development] zogu:
I bought redmi note 4.

Now i have to wait 72 hours to unlock bootloader (about 35 is left) ...

After that, bye, bye vernee
[Android Software Development] thecroupier:
i think i'll sell my vernee and might get a leeco max 2 or leeco pro 3 elite or xiaomi a1, theres great support on the forums for all of those phones
[Android Software Development] zogu:
Don't buy leeco, it has great support, but there is no custom rom from any Leeco without bugs, hardware is different from any other phone and some drivers are missing.

I had it and sold it, even this vernee works better on nougat. If you want marshmallow, stock EUI and only then, buy Leeco phone.

A1 has dual camera, but everything else is better in redmi note 4 (battery, camera sensor, support)

I had similar dilemma and i think i made good choice.

If it is available on your market best choice is mi5 and 5s.
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
I have been working with MTK for many years.qualcomm for me is more difficult to port roms.

I would kill for a Lenovo K8 note, s, pro..has names and models.

But I've only seen, sale in india.

Does anyone know an Indian shop, which sends to Europe and is paid by paypal?
[Android Software Development] zogu:
You can buy it on ebay, but you probably saw that..

It is not problem in CPU, bad camera and sound are reason for selling. Everything else is perfect, performance and display are like on some expensive Samsung phone.
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
I did order myself a oukitel K6 , it is a gamble ,
[Android Software Development] thecroupier:
i don't think i would ever go back to MTK based phones as they always have connectivity (wifi/bluetooth/gps) issues. i need a phone with band 20 and might hold out to see if the redmi 5 plus goes global or might order a note for as they are about $110 at the moment.
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
No problem i understand you the same..

The question of the scatter is important to not have others stranges errors that will be when someone will flash it, so i need to understand which hex are correct before build the right scatter.

I need one help from the users of the vernee mix 2 6gb, but seems here or in others forums nobody are able to give an answer! :confused:
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
It is not very difficult to use Fastboot and there is no danger to the phone.

Surely, if someone does not know how to use it, with their help, he could do it easily.

I hope that someone is encouraged and can have a dispersion for the 6GB model.
[Android Software Development] bombic:
This phone have it's isues, but we all pay for it less then 200 USD and even less then 150 USD and for that money phone is great. For me battery is very good, display too, wifi the same as leeco le2 I own. Camera is average, speaker maybe not even average but ok. Speaker is the only thing I don't like about this phone(so I ordered bluetooth speaker). GPS is ok, as for a good camera in phone You must give at least 300 USD. This camera is ok for internet and some business pictures, but for family pictures I use my Nikon. USB type C and IR would be great to have( I like it in Le2). ROM will be better in next relaeses I hope, and for 120 USD + tax it is a budget winner.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

How did you manage to root this phone with super su. After countless atempts I didn't manage to root it. I even almost brick it and conclude that I'm becoming stupid, as this was the first phone I didn't manage to root(with super su).

But then I try to install magisk (never even heard about it before) and root was completed after first atempt. So if You have trouble rooting this phone with super su, use magisk!
[Android Software Development] merowin:
I agree with you completely but the most disturbing fact is that we all are doomed to stick with Vernee updates and no custom roms
[Android Software Development] estuardo4:
Indeed. I've searched and searched for Mars, Apollo or Thor custom ROMs on other places hoping to find some hope for the future, but I haven't found anything worth mentioning. Oh well. At least we have root and TWRP. Thank you Ghost and Cleopatra and all the other developers trying to help.
[Android Software Development] bombic:
For me, clear android without bloatware is first choice, so good Vernee ROM is all I need, with root and TWRP of course. So Ghost and Cleopatra thank you for your effort, and Zogu thanks for your help.
[Android Software Development] diver_2010:
To ghost45 and Cleopatra .... I don't know how to thank you guy ... My phone been stuck on google bypass verneeix 2 version 4 gigabytes and i downloaded the rom you posted here ghost45 and i followed Cleopatra installation guide on other website very well and clear and now im talking to you from my vernee after back to life again thanks guys but have some small problems i would like to let others know it

If you wanted to bypass google

1 - you might face flashtool error just change you USB port from high speed port to normal installation installing will catch and continue smooth and charm without errors

2- for vernee mix 2 Google bypass frp won't work by all available ways on Internet just install stock rom better and google account will be removed .

3- for installation follow the guide of Cleopatra and ghost45

But keep in don't make ( upgrade firmware ) but change to ( Format + download ) to remove Google account from its roots

4- don't waste your time on YouTube searching for FRP apk or flash FRP file scatter .. All this will not work with Vernnee mix 2 because Vernee mix 2 Google account manager will give you always error email ... Save your time and follow

What they say here only on xda .

Again thanks ghost45 and Cleopatra

All love to u guys

And confirmation your method here works 100%

But for new noobs they will need first some knowledge to understand all .

Problem with network

Hi, guys!

I have one problem with this phone. My phone after flash drop the IMEI and so after inserted this in developer mode, in engineer mod network working only when the phone connected to wifi.

When I connected to wifi, after this near 5 minutes later, both of sim card catching 3G,3G. If I leave home, WIFI not work, and when the network signal in first sim card less, it is loses network and write "no service". After 5 minutes - second sim card loses network too...(

And after flashing in phone 4G don't work at all.

How can I solve it? Thanks a lot.
[Android Software Development] jiehao85:
How is that doomed? Vernee has always been this way, their updates are irregular. I switched to Vernee Mix 2 purely for the bigger screen and bigger battery from a Le 2. In fact, Vernee Mix 2 scores lower than my Le 2 in Antutu benchmark. This will probably be my one and only Vernee since the lack of updates is disturbing. Even for a company is dire financial situation, LeEco is still pushing out updates for Le 2.

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

I got a question with my Vernee Mix 2 6GB. If I am flashing the Dec 2017 update ROM, is it a full wipe?
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
Do you have a base band?

My phone arrived, this week, at 53 days, now I understand the failures, this development is difficult for this phone, but UMI GUI OS, it's even worse, they do not even have TWRP, they say they are blocked for launch.

It will take time to find a way to get a custom rom.

[Android Software Development] zogu:
I have le 2 x520.

Camera is never fixed on custom rom. I know that on Le Max 2 camera is much better, but still flashlight sometimes is not synchronized.

Xiaomi has stupid unlocking rules, but it is best supported, all Oreo roms are bugless, i am using CardinalAosp, camera is perfect, it has support for sdcard, i will not change my redmi note for anything except new Xiaomi, that's how much i'm happy with it. Everything is better comparing to Leeco, which is also very, very good phone.

Vernee has great display, almost stock android, sound is not so bad with Viper, didn't have problem with wifi, but snapdragon phones are simply better.
[Android Software Development] thecroupier:
I'm going to use my vernee as a paper weight/spare emergency phone, I've just order a Redmi 5 plus so I think i'll be a lot happier once that arrives. Vernee should release the kernel sources so that better RoM's can be released with different camera api's and hopefully a overall tuned software to hardware configuration
[Android Software Development] xen2001:
Kinda pricey paperweight, but I had the same idea .... I am returning that piece of shyte. Life is too short for monkeying with CCC (cheap chinese crap)
[Android Software Development] Cleopatra Bianchi:
note

CCC (cheap chinese crap) ... awesome :laugh:
[Android Software Development] estuardo4:
I wish I could do that, but if I knew that I'd be spending $160 on the Vernee and $200 on the Redmi 5 Plus, I'd better off be buying a Mi Mix 2 for a little more or a Mi 6.

Do any of you have installed ghost45 modified ROM and the 201712 stock ROM? How they compare? I hate how slow sometimes the phone is using stock 201712, specially using the phone app and whatsapp in fullscreen mode. I've frozen fullscreen mode, but the stuttering is still there.

Hi specialists,

I'm very confused within the doing's getting TWRP running on my Vernee Mix 2 (6 GB version).

Can I flash the TWRP recovery file (dedicated for the 6 GB version) by using the adb-toosl or MUST i use the SPflash tool ?

There are many sites saying different things.... and I don't want to brick my device, because it is only a few weeks old :)

The 2nd confusing thing:

To get this phone rooted TWRP sould be installed before....but I have read at some sites:

To install TWRP the phone needs to be rooted !

And now ????

Maybe one of you can clarify what tools to use to flash TWRp onto a Vernee Mix 2 and to root it...

Many thanks in advance !!
[Android Software Development] xen2001:

There are thread here for Modding Vernee Mix 2 (4/6GB). I used though I have 4GB version.
[Android Software Development] obiwan2:
I have read the mentioned thread and I'm still confused.....let me explain why:

- I don't want (right now) to flash a new/custom ROM. I only want to flash a

TWRP recovery

- Should I use the SPFlashtool or the adb-tools ? (The TWRP image for the SPFlashtool seems to be diferent to the "normal" image because of the

scatter

file !?). So...if only having a

normal

TWRP 3.1.1 for the 6GB version of Vernee Mix 2 the

adb-tools

should be used, right ?

Next....

There is a "Twrp For Vernee Mix2 Pro (6gb)" version provided in the thread. Is this the one I should take ? If yes, then I have to use the adb-tools....

What does the following mean ?
