Hi all,

I read all post here and I found people have my same problem.

I update my VAL to 7.1.2 (if I remember well I installed it by recovery) but now I'm not able to install new TRWP, version 3.2, to install Oreo.

I try to update it by recovery, Install image (I download recovery.img from download link); update successfully but when I try to restart my phone in recovery mode it return to TRWP 3.1.1 :confused:

I try to update TRWP with Flashify (I rooted the phone with SuperSU 2.82-SR5) but I was not success too :rolleyes:

I want to try to restart upgrade procedure from start but I need stock rom you write in this blog: 20170118 (I start with stock rom of 2016/08 but I'm not able to download OTA update from this version), could sameone send me link of this rom?

Then I will try to install 7.1.2 with SPFT (firmware upgrade) and not from recovery, then I will try to update TRWP to 3.2 (I will follow steps of RalphMalph)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daitalos:
yes,thats right...but is the same (no difference)

https://www.getdroidtips.com/install-official-stock-rom-on-vernee-apollo-lite/

just follow the instructions for stock rom...

the latest update VAL is this : http://www.mediafire.com/file/d3kx9cswkwch0uk/full_k15tb_a-ota-1508410813.zip

(and remember! you can't flash last 7.1.2 mad from recovery !! only via spft )

(for stock ota update you can do it from Local...Read here how): http://www.vernee.cc/products/apollolite/rom/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
This is an OTA update. Not able to flash through spflash.

You need the 20170118 spflash-release. It is available on needrom

With that you can start the flashing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gluck75:
Thanks, I prefer sp flash tool (and I can get rom from needrom now at work, other site is blocked by firewall! :) )

I will try to follow steps you specify in #43 and I will update!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Be sure you use in spflash 'firmware upgrade'
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RectangleReader:
How much screen on time you guys are getting after the new update! Can everyone share a screenshot!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
I only said that i dont know...

I just want to make it as easy as possible for everyone. You yourself started with "please dont get confused". Why not keep it easy.

Peace
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daitalos:
Why? Because if you had the newer file why you did not give it ?

Now we are OK I think ...I'm not a kid...my son is 29 years old

[MENTION=631556]RalphMalph[/MENTION], you really sound like a jerk, dude. A know-it-all jerk. Stop being like that. If you want to help, just help. You are not even an authority here. You speak far more authoritative than MAD Team themselves.

No one stops you to help. I actually appreciate your work here. The problem I think is your approach in helping other users. If you could just lower your tone, everything would be fine, I believe.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 123asdasd:
Issues noticed on my VAL:

* Estonian Mobile-ID SIM-based authentication not working

* Sometimes when hanging up the cellular call the dialler hangs with "Hanging up". The dialler can remain in that state for several minutes and no incoming calls accepted. Rest of system works fine at the same time.

Otherwise great work! Perfectly stable and usable.

For me your postings were helpful, no need to stop everything !

[MENTION=631556]RalphMalph[/MENTION], where can i find this one on needrom? I post here the MAD roms i see. But no one from these date.

-https://www.needrom.com/download/vernee-appolo-lite/ date =08/06/2017

-https://www.needrom.com/download/mados-android-7-1-1-18-03-2017-stable-3/ date = 18/03/2017 and is Android 7.1.1

-https://www.needrom.com/download/m-a-d-rom-7-1-1-unofficial-aosp-n/ date = 05/02/2017 and is Android 7.1.1

So, where can i find the rom 2017/01/18 like you say?

Thanks

Sorry for my bad Englisch
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eidighans:
I think there are some missunderstandings because this madROM is for both devices, VAL and VAX.

But the 2017/01/18 on needrom is only for VAX ! You cannot find it for VAL !

The newest official for VAL is from 2016 i think.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gluck75:
I try but it don't work... first time I change IMEI of second slot (LTE one), second time I insert it again.

But I'm not able to insert IMEI on first one... perphaps I need to change pttycmd1 in cmd2? :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

Hi,

I installed 20170118 in VAL but last update was of october 2017; I checked in "Androidiani" blog and I know this update came not as OTA by wifi but you should download and install by internal storage.

I update my rom with this 2 update before to go in 7.1.2 (when I loose my IMEI :crying: )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
If you lost your IMEI, you have to go back to the original Vernee ROM and these find you https://www.needrom.com/download/vernee-apollo-lite/ , this is in SPFT and after that you have to reinstall the latest 7.1.2 from MAD also in SPFT, Than change your TWRP to the 3.2 version that suits Android 8 and after that reinstall Android 8.1. Normaly will it go good that way. But take the steps like RalphMalph posted here in post 43.

Sorry for my bad Engilisch.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gluck75:
I try to follow RalphMalph steps but I always loose my IMEI (only for not LTE sim) when I upgrade to 7.1.2

I start from last MM release (I check and in this moment IMEI ok), then:

install TWRP 3.1.1 by flashtool

wipe data

install MadOD 7.1.2 by flashtool (firmware upgrade) --> I loose IMEI on slot 1

I need to insert IMEI now because if I return to stock rom when I try to install 7.1.2 I loose IMEI again (I try many times)

I try now steps of imagine posted by RalphMalph same post before... with 8.1 it does not work, I try now
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daitalos:
You can know device IMEI by dialing *#06# or from the back panel of your device(remove your device battery & you will find the IMEI code written on the back panel)

Mediatek has a useful tool for IMEI , " SN Write Tool " (and for dual SIM devices)

But ! may cause serious troubles if we do not know what we are doing...yes, usually the flash of stock rom solves the problem ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hazol:
You don't have nvram backup? Simply can restore imei from it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
Is it that easy to remove the battery from a VAL?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daitalos:
hahhhahh..

No ..but if needed why not?

Hi all, finally I was able to install Oreo on my VAL! :)

I already know IMEI, they was printed in package, but no tool or call combinations work in ROM different from stock one.

I found solution in post #2854 of [ROM] [ 7.1.1 | 7.1.2 ] Official madOS - Vernee Apollo Lite [MT6797]: like saciourlux I have flashed the rom with spft, not with firmware upgrade, it has been with download only. I don't loose my IMEI and I follow RalphMalph steps to upgrade to 8.1

Thanks to all for help!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnZl:
"turn on screen" lag/freeze can't be VAX device problem. With official rom this issue gone. It's only on MadOS rom, on all versions.

I've build Lineage OS (7.1.2) with Johanols source forked from MAD repo and Resurrection Remix OS forked from MAD repo too and both have same issue like MadOS roms. I think it's something in kernel or device repository. (I asked Johanols, if he have same issue like me and he approved it)

I haven't too much time for experiments with source changing.

Can i provide any logs?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
But as far as I know, there aren't (m)any reports about it, besides yours...

Only in Chromium do I see those red blinking borders. It happens when scrolling in any web page I suppose. I do not really know what I did to make it happen. Sorry. I just noticed it.

You get error?

Btw. Why do you install twrp 3.1.1.0? It is included in 7.1.2 rom. I think that's the problem why you loose your imei
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnZl:

If the problem also occurs, while connected to USB, then just use adb logcat, turn the screen on, and stop the log right after the display is on

I miss IMEI in one slot everytime I install MadOS 7.1.2 with firmware upgrade. And I find not way to put it.

I installed TWRP before install 7.1.2 rom (in forum I read it is mandatory).

I have 2 minor issue now: I'm not able to login in Chromium (error: used already registered in phone) and I can't find battery indicator in status bar (I used circle one in 7.1.2)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ns1207:
Hi [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION], i do think there are some problems with the vax in 8.1.0.

I have flashed my vax about 12 times over and over again, just the way like it is told in this forum and ik keep havin problems.

No lag issues, but rotation isseus.

No issues on original, or mad 7, but always issues on 8.1.0.

After boot everything is working perfect, but if i aint using my device for like 15 minutes, rotation is broken.

If i check my sensors with an app, all sensors are working perfectly. If i disable and enable auto rotation it is working again until the phone isn't used for a while. I personally don't think it is a hardware fault, because it is only happening on mad 8.1.

I have already posted logs in this forum, would you please look into it for me, because your rom rocks besides the problem some users experiencing.

Logs are in post 322

Thnx, keep up the great work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chashitsu:
me too

Hi,

I have the same problem.

Few months ago i SP-flashed 7.1.2.... now I download 8.1.0 togehter with recovery. Installed new recovery from current one. (and wiped) My twrp version is 3.2.1-0. When I try install 8.1.0, gettion error 7. Exact message:

E3003: Can't install this package (Mo 25. Dez 14.47: 20 CET 2017) over newer build (Di 2. Jan 19:58:10 CET 2018).

Updater process ended with ERORR: 7

Error installing zip file '/external_sd/mados/madOS_8.1.0_apollo_lite_20171225.zip'

Can you post the older TWRP for me please wiz.wiz ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gluck75:
I think you can find old TWRP in #2 post of [ROM] [ 7.1.1 | 7.1.2 ] Official madOS - Vernee Apollo Lite [MT6797]
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chashitsu:
fixed

I get it work! - problem was, that I downloaded both 8.1 ROM and recovery from this XDA thread, but the rom version was from 2017 (madOS_8.1.0_apollo_lite_20171225.zip) When I open facebook download page and downloaded latest rom (madOS_8.1.0_apollo_lite_20180102.zip) TWRP flashed it nice and smooth :)

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Before you install 7.1.2 you install TWRP <--- Then it probably removes your imei

But in my steps there is not saying that you have to install TWRP. You told me you followed my steps, step by step. Can you please try it again (from the beginning):

So:

- flash stockrom 20170118 with spft with FIRMWARE UPGRADE (from your pc)

- boot the device

- check your IMEI

- power off the device

- flash latest madOS 7.1.2 with spft with FIRMWARE UPGRADE (from your pc)

- boot the device

- check your IMEI

- reboot to recovery

- wipe dalvik, cache, data and system

- reboot to recovery

- flash twrp 3.2.1.0 (oreo-version) with twrp (image) (from your phone)

- wipe dalvik, cache, data and system

- reboot to recovery

- flash madOS 8.1 with TWRP (from your phone)

- wipe dalvik and cache

- reboot to recovery

- flash unofficial opengapps provided by madOS

- wipe dalvik and cache

- reboot to system

- check your IMEI

Now you (should) have a fully working 8.1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
I really can't determine what breaks the proximity sensor in my VAL. It works really just fine some time, and then if I don't check it, it would be broken again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Maybe you said it before, but question: you use root? Supersu or magisk?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
Yes, I use SuperSU. But the thing is after rooting and several reboots, the sensor worked just fine. Only this evening that I discovered it's broken again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Hmm, had hopes Magisk was the problem. But i also use supersu.

When it is broken, can you fix it by reboot.... Or broken is broken and not able to fix?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
Reboot doesn't fix it.

By the way, how do you root using SuperSu? I am also suspecting the way I root it somehow causes weird behaviors.

If I can point out what exactly breaks it, perhaps we can help MAD and the community here in fixing this damn proximity sensor problems.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

I think I figured out a work around how to fix some proximity sensor issues.

If you discovered that proximity sensor is not working:

1. Backup your 8.1 ROM (with proximity sensor issue) to any external storage.

2. Flash madOS 7.1.2 SPFT (Firmware Upgrade)

3. Boot your device (madOS 7.1.2)

4. Reboot to recovery > Flash 8.1 TWRP image.

5. Reboot recovery > restore your 8.1 ROM.

6. Reboot the device.

Congratulations, your damn proximity sensor works again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
I use the official supersu 2.82 sr5 zip:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

Flash it by twrp, further nothing

I dont have the app of supersu in android, i dont need it. System is rooted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
I did it also this way like RalphMalph explaines. No problems with my proximity sensor and also functional root. I use root for greenify.

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

one of the best tools for this job ( but not only for this) is

Root Essentials(Normally, is a box tools) ...You can Install it from playstore (free)

But ! before using it , go deveveloper options & put ON usb debugging, & give all the permissions...(after remove any app, reboot device)

you can do everything with this tool (buildprop,flash files , remove anything,dpi & emoji changer, calibration battery etc ....Try it :)

Thank you for this great working rom. I have installed it today following the correct instructions. I am on VAX and my only problem is that the internal storage has about the same as VAL which is 32GB instead of 64GB.

I believe someone asked it on this thread but I cannot find the message. A workaround will be appreciated. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JVTNET:
Same problem here, I followed all steps but my internal storage is 32Gb in my VAX, some idea to fix the problem? (I was try to make a wipe trough TWRP but not works...)

Someone else have this problem on Apollo X?

Thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] suomilk:
I believe the problem on the VAX with the 32gb storage has been introduced as soon as I have installed the 7.1.2 spft.

But I don't know how to solve this issue

Exactly in Mados 7.1.2 the problem was the same...

I also updated the first post to include the link for VAX.

VAX user here. Flash it after release so more/less two weeks as a daily driver. So far I've got two hard reset crashes using simultaneously AIMP and any other app. Same with using built in camera.
