I downloaded the firmware from Vernee and follow the guide in the vernee support, but when i checked the phone, it is still the old build number (MIX_2_20171021) what have i done wrong, btw i am not rooted.
[Android Software Development] taiki84:
Hi anyone have a link for flashtool
[Android Software Development] js1970:
Same here. Several users have reported this issue, but no one has answered this question. I installed already 4 times the update, with no sucess. I'm always on the same 20171021 software version...
[Android Software Development] leongheng70:
This driving me crazy
[Android Software Development] zogu:
It can't be upgraded from 20171021 to newest.

You must first upgrade to 20171031 and there is no OTA available. Only way is using sp flash tool on non-rooted phones.
[Android Software Development] js1970:
So we are stuck on this software version?!? For the ones who don't know how to use sp flash tool, we can't do anything?!? ****!!!
[Android Software Development] fxnoob:
A colleague said in previous replies, install from twrp. Or spflash, I managed to flash latest version.
[Android Software Development] madz78:
I'm on 20171031, and I also can't update. This phone is becoming a huge disappointment. If I knew it, I'd used the money on a used nexus 6, I'd be much better off.

Usually the bank apps (on rooted devices) get the next error :

"The device is rooted. For security reasons the application cannot be run from a rooted device".

1) To hide the root on Magisk :

do you have the scatter file for 20171031 to do the sp flash and will it do a complete wipe ?
[Android Software Development] madz78:
My phone is all stock. I just downloaded the official version from the manufacturer and followed instructions, wireless update - local update. Did this 2 times and I'm still on 1031 instead of 1215

TWRP Vernee mix 6GB version

how to permanently write custom recovery ? i can only use it once and after a reboot : no command with dead android. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Sh4d0ws40:
You can use "flash recovery *name of custom recovery*.img" to flash custom recovery
[Android Software Development] mihaianti:
fastboot flash *name of custom recovery*.img" ok , After that i can only boot in recovery once.If i reboot system and then i try to reboot in recovery i cant.
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Tell me better what happened?

If you install the recovery and enter in the system (android7) automatically the recovery just flashed (twrp) will be erased to the stock recovery, and when you reboot you will find automatically the stock recovery.

After you have flashed the recovery modded (twrp) immediatly after you will reboot the device and enter in the recovery modded .....if you jump this step you will lost your recovery modded!

who else has this vernee 6gb version?
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
The only way to Flash original factory firmware correctly on the mix 2 and to get no error in mtk flashtool!!

I have severeral android phones and to flash rom i always only had to load MTK in download mode and to connect the usb cable to the computer and flashing

would start and flash my phone.

The vernee mix is working diffrently as all my other phones and found out you have to press the volume rocker in the up position and then connect the phone to PC

If doing it this way a full flash including preloader will flash without any error.

So for flashing the mix 2 with MTK flashtool it is mandatory holding the volume rocker in up position before connecting the phone to USB to flash.

Unfortunatlty this is not mentionned very clearly on this forum that you have to hold the volume rocker in up position before connecting the phone to USB to be able to flash this phone

with the original factory firmware.

As it is this way and found out the original firmware is not corrupted they`re will be no problem to make a custom Rom for this phone

So i hope i can help a lot of users with this information that always got a error on MTK flashtool.

The firmware is ok and is not corrupted, you only have to flash it a certain way and holding the volumerocker in up position before connecting it to PC that is all!! :)
[Android Software Development] JohnAminSaid:
Am Still having problem of no signal and imei no. after fashing official firmware of vernee

but could that be due to i used option of format all and download from menu of sp flashtools

and i dont flash preloader and recovery

please any advice guys cause i tried many things but without success
[Android Software Development] madz78:
Are you sure you said volume rocker up enough times? I'm not feeling confident..[emoji1]
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
I did test it several times for you all to be shure, and worked perfectly every time, before that i did not press the volume up rocker because this was not needed on my other android phones.

Now i did hold the volume rocker up did work everytime a got no MTK error at all

If this wil not work on every mix 2 phone my only conclusion will be that not every mix 2 will be identical and work the same way.
[Android Software Development] sacaitu:
Guys , i have managed to root my vernee mix 2, the only reason i did it is because patch to android in Lucky patcher, but when i try to patch it, phone reboots itself every time. Anyone can help? And SuperSU is continuously asking to update binaires even if i updated them and restarted ...

SuperSU installed exactly as on the first page

Edit : I'm sorry it says unsuccessful .
[Android Software Development] mihaianti:
First , thanks for your work , second I installed your twrp for 6gb version . I can boot once in twrp recovery , but i want to be a permanent modification .Boot system , use the phone , and then when i have to write some zip from twrp just reboot in recovery , now i cant do that.
[Android Software Development] JohnAminSaid:

hi everyone, I just received my vernee mix 2 yesterday and I tried to root it, first I did unlock bootloader but after this I got message Orange State and it won't boot, just loop into recovery twrp. Does anyone know how to fix it?

[MENTION=371528]Everybody[/MENTION],

who have the 6gb version?
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
Glad i could help , that is the most important thing of this forum, try to help others to solve soem issues

We will have to sort things out ourselves, MTK phones are in fact almost unbrickable, the only thing we have to know

is how to manage and do some things and how things work with this special device as Vernee is not giving decent support.

I did found out a few things,but i am only a beginner.

Thanks to Ghost we have the original latest full flashable original firmware in hand,

The most important thing is that we have the orignal rom now and we will see and have to whait what the future will bring.

Maybe there wil be someone on this forum who will have the skills and can find time to make a good custom rom/ports for this phone

PS Maybe this also will solve the problem that some have to drain the battery to 0% to be able to flash the phone again, i never had to drain my battery to be able to flash the rom

maybe someone that have a bricked phone can try to flash the phone with the original firmware without draining the battery and holding the volume rocker in up position before connecting it to PC

and keep it pressed untill flashing is done, i think that it is possible this will solve the case, and draining the battery to 0%will not be nessesary.

Draining the battery to 0% is a very bad thing to do and not recommended, it will surely shorten the lifespan of the battery as it is a lipo or li-ion or similar kind of battery

these battery`s never has to be discharged to 0% in any case because this wil significantly damage the cells ,recharging the phone before 20% is left and reached is recommended

[Android Software Development] Rach13:
I still do not flash my mix 2 because it works pretty well I could do the update locally just a little weak Wi-Fi and the sound of speakers I just wait for a custom rom for the flash because too much risk to block it
[Android Software Development] fxnoob:
With [MENTION=1144289]rolandvb[/MENTION]'s method works like a charm, I just reflashed it, error free.
[Android Software Development] madz78:
Are you sure you updated? Did you check the build on settings? I ask because mine is also stock, I tried to update locally twice, and build number is still the same.
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
Guess what i just found on needrom:) my method is confirmed and i am not the only one that found this solution.

so this method is defenatly the solution to flash rom to the Vernee Mix 2:) as it is confirmed also by Ellis036

https://www.needrom.com/download/official-working-vernee-mix-2-rom/
[Android Software Development] madz78:
You have to hold volume up through the entire process? [emoji849]
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
i think there never will come a solution for the poor sound for the mix 2, it has to do with a build in inferiour loudspeaker.

when boosting sound with other methods the sound is only distorting without becoming significantly louder and is hardware related

i would like to try to change the loudspeaker myself with another one,but i don`t know how to open the mix 2 and afraid of damaging it

did not found any movie on the internet how to disasemble the mix 2.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

i am not sure, i tryed both methods , one time i did hold it only when loading the red bar was loaded and did release the volume up and flashed it succesfully the other time i did hold it and pressed it all the time

and with both methods did flashed it succesfully:)

One thing is for sure that you will have to press the rocker volume up before connecting the phone to PC to flash it,
[Android Software Development] madz78:
I used this for sound boost, however I'm not sure how well it works..

Low volume on headphones and speaker -download "mtk engineering mode" from google play - mtk setting - test hw - volume - playback and setting valut to 160
[Android Software Development] Rach13:
yes I had the building of 10/31/20157 and it has changed to go to 15/12/2017

I flashed by this method (I connect phone with a clamped key Volume+, then I release) + I use the USB-OTG cable. On another it is not flashed.
[Android Software Development] sacaitu:
Yes i did, where can be the problem, superSU flashing , or others? Should i wipe it again? I did as it says 2 times wipe data , then wipe cache, then flash superSU 2.82
[Android Software Development] emptynick:
The guide says format, not wipe. That's the point
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
And so what is the difference?

In the Wipe menu the operation that this menu made is format---->what?

format data---->format cache....ecc

Is Format the internal command yes!:laugh:
[Android Software Development] emptynick:
Well your guide says go to wipe and then advanced > format, not wipe from there.

For me that did the trick actually
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Yes is true the trick is only the format data to delete the encryption.

Hello , i did enjoy playing around with the mix 2 and was glad to contribute a little on this forum ,

As i was absoluutly not pleased with the way to low volume and under mediocre sound of the mix 2 i decided to sell it.

unbelievable, it was sold within 10 minutes on the internet and alreddy did send it to the new owner this afthernoon and even sold it with a little profit, as Geartbest did refunded me $50 for the sony camera scam.

I will look for another phone to buy now and it will certainly not be a Vernee phone , and hope yoù all will understand :)

Does anyone has a hint or suggestion which phone i should buy ??

So i am leaving this forum now,

Thank you all for contributing on this forum especially Ghost and Cleopatra and Bigrammi and all others

Wishing you all a Happy new year , maybe we will meet again at XDA later.
[Android Software Development] thecroupier:
I too got lured in by the marketing, but it seems a lot of people are bailing out on this phone, yes the camera is shocking and i can put up with the headset volume but the wifi is weak and i'm hoping the kernel sources will be shared if not i will offload it as well, as the scree, size, case etc. is good :)

i'm already looking at alternatives and umidigi s2 looks ok, but i would properly stick to a safe bet and get an xiaomi redmi note 4, a1 or 5 plus...

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

I've tried everything installing the pixel 2 xl apk the samsung apk but both show the wallpapers but i'm unable to select them for use, its so strange...
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
Live wallpapers does not work on vernee mix 2 :(

Umidigi are cons too and worse as Vernee, they sold the S2 in the beginning and claimed i did run on android 7 but it never will because it can not

they used a older outfased processor ,so be warned!! Umidigi is also way to expensive for the specs .

i am looking at the new oukitel K6 now a very interesting phone for that prize ,has the new P 23 porcessor and 6 gig ram and has NFC and face unlock and tons of new features

the new p 23 soc also does support lte on both simcards at the same time and the new modem is a lot faster

but like vernee no support.

I finally got the update installed locally! Tried downloading 2x again today and update it about 6x..

It finally updated when I connected the phone to the charger. It appears it needs to be connected to the charger in order to update..

On another note, now some apps don't have full screen enabled. Does anyone know how to turn it on?

Hello everyone, so where do I start, I bought a Vernee Mix 2 a few days ago and I did something really stupid trying to root him, I tried several techniques, I don't even know anymore which ones, I know that I ended up replacing system files with a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 stock rom, so now my phone does not want to boot anymore, I have a black screen with a vibration, then nothing at all, no bootloader , adb and fastboot do not detect it, and once connected to the computer, it vibrates a few times by disconnecting and reconnecting, I try to flash a rom found on a weird Russian site and I try to flash it with sp flash tool, but nothing but error, I got the right scatter file, but I can't do anything now, but ask for help, I hope it can work again one day

I'm sooooooo stupid .-.
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Tell me better...

You not have installed twrp?

You have the possibiliy to select the fastboot mode,with power and volup + ,in the same time?
[Android Software Development] Chinaphonearena:
We have another announcement. At this time, the root is not stable. I know this sounds bizarre, but it goes like this... Some apps (ES Explorer for example) can write to /system. However, whatever is copied there soon disappears. Busybox can not install via APK (though can be installed through TWRP.) The binary can't be updated.... However, giving root shell access is no problem.

The fault for jumping the gun is entirely mine, as I didn't do a complete test prior to releasing our findings. The screenshots Cleopatra posted, as well as reports of success came directly from me. Cleopatra does not have the device on hand and did the best she could, going by my reported results. Any fault lays directly at my feet.

That being said, I do not think the TWRP is to blame; all functions are working perfectly (backup, restore, mounting, installing .zips etc...). It is something with the way SuperSU is patching, or something within the Vernee ROM (entirely bizarre how things which are successfully copied to system disappear after some time.)

Whatever the case, I do apologize for jumping the gun.

Regards
