That explains why I couldn't find it! ?

Because of the lack of documentation it was specified as 13MP+2MP on most sites but you're right it's also correctly shown on Elephone now.

Don't understand why they put a 16MP selfie camera in it and a 13MP camera for making normal pictures but you're still right.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] KP@2016:
Will to try to modify scatter file also. I will add your device to my Coolpad Toolkit. Once done will let you know:)

Edit: As per post #31 Data is not mounted by TWRP. It is because your internal storage is encrypted. There are two ways to fix it

1. Perform a hard reset on your device (Wipe internal storage, data)

2. Compile TWRP 3.1.x.x, it has an feature to decrypt internal storage. You can also port it from my device (Coolpad Note 3) as I see there is not much difference between the hardwares.

Also I have seen a screen shot Of Device HW in some post here. If that address details are of your device, then creating a scatter file won't be hard.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] YuriRM:
Thanks for this valuable insight on the scatter file bug, KP!

The screenshot of Partitions on Device Info HW on post #110 belongs to my Takee 1 Smartphone. It is a 3D device with MT6592T. [MENTION=9023644]TheMarchHare[/MENTION] can you post here a screenshot of Partitions on Elephone P8 3D, please?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] KP@2016:
I have added Elephone P8 3D device to my Coolpad Toolkit. It's available here

http://coolpadtoolkit.wordpress.com

How To?

Select Option #07 from Toolkit.exe

Unlock Bootloader first from Option #3

Flash TWRP from option #5

Install magisk from Option #4 then Option #1 or #2

Also, Go to Toolkit Settings #30 > then option #p to request your device to add to the toolkit. This will generate a text file with information related to Device that will be useful for me.

If you want me to add some more features contact me

If you have root you can switch selinux for test (Device Info HW)

Thanks but it does not bring additional info on Partitions. Perhaps, you need root first!

Note:

- Not for all devices can read drivers info, it's depend on soc, vendor. If you want help, then upload your device info.

- On some devices with 7.0+ reading sysfs is disabled and primary info is unavailable. If you have root you can switch selinux for test.

The partitions of Elephone P8 3D are not shown according to Name, start address and partition size. It is using a different reporting method in comparison to the Takee 1 smartphone. Therefore, it is harder to create a scatter file based on that info.

I will ask Andrey Efremov on his official thread.

TWRP 3.1.x.x for Elephone P8 3D

Option 2 is the best!

Can you compile TWRP 3.1.x.x for Elephone P8 3D or port it from your Coolpad Note 3, please?

An improve scatter file is needed too!

I currently don't have that device, but if you have you can compile it. Its not that much difficult unless you are familiar with shell. Read official twrp compilation guide

Update by ProfessorKnox:

I just fixed the problem of non-mountable data partition (see red text below; I remembered that I had the same problem previously with a Haier phone).

3. Alternatively unpack boot.img and recovery.img; change "forceencrypt" into "encryptable" in fstab.mt6755 in directory "ramdisk"; repack boot.img and recovery.img; flash boot.img and recovery.img -> wipe data partition in recovery; restart mobile phone -> data partition is now non-encrypted and mountable.

Heads up guys:

I use P8 Mini scatter file and preloader for quite a while now, repeatedly flashing the P8 3D and have absolutely no problem with it. I try to get hold of the very first seconds of the logcat. By that I hope to find the partition's address ranges, which is the remaining missing info to proof that the P8 Mini partition layout is identical to the one of the P8 3D.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] KP@2016:
I guess, the original twrp image should be updated and feature of fixing the mountable data should also be added in to Coolpad Toolkit. Not a big deal will add it soon.

And about the scatter file. If you find all the address of P8 3D quote me with it. Will then create a scatter file

[MENTION=7424515]KP@2016[/MENTION],

I have downloaded the coolpadtoolkit, and allowed my antivirus to ignore the folder.

Running 1.7b works fine, trying to update is an issue.

Will not update via toolkit, so tried dling the 2 files. The new update will not due to some violation and the 1.73b does.

Manually installing 1.73b causes the toolkit to stop working. Starts up the crashes.

As 1.7b did run fine.. saw the phone and all.. But trying 1.73b has an issue.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] KP@2016:
Did u tried offline installer it should be installed over 1.73b. If yes where you face the crash I mean what message it shows before crash.

Also, close your toolkit first before installing offline update. Will check this issue and provide an update with some more features in 2 days as I have an exam tomorrow.

Edit: There is quick fix to make it run perfect. First disconnect your internet then launch the Toolkit.exe once u find the menu page again connect to internet and now select your device.

Also, if you are a P8 3D user I need some few things from your device. First your stock recovery image, Your stock rom official link (if it has), then From toolkit in your device menu in option #30 there will be an option #p for requesting a device to add into toolkit. Use this option to generate a text file in temp\your_model\info.txt ! Zip all this files and quote me with it here if possible :angel:

Hi [MENTION=7424515]KP@2016[/MENTION],

I have the P8 3D phone, but no stock image yet. Will do the #30 if needed.

I did what you said and yes it now works. Need to unplug network while it loads.

Had to re-install, but it defaults to program(86) folder. Can not select to root (C:\Cool***)

I did some playing around, but I will need to backup folders of 3D files etc..

I did some on the coolpad tools..

I applied DeviceInfoHW v4.9.4 and my P8-3D shows exactly the same memory layout as P8-mini scatter file.

I think now it should have been proofed, that the P8-mini scatter file can be used for the P8-3D also, o.i.a.w. both mobiles have the same memory layout and as such the same scatter file.

Hope this helps.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] YuriRM:
Great! Thanks for your confirmation of a perfect match between both Elephone devices (P8 3D and P8 Mini) regarding the scatter file. We can now proceed in safety to further software tweaks. The usability of Elephone P8 3D must be improved for newbies and skilled users alike.

Congratulations to Andrey Efremov aka [MENTION=1061510]ANDR7E[/MENTION] for a job well done! Thanks for having answered our request on a better detection of the Partitions table for this device.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] ProfessorKnox:
In order to flash e.g. recovery using SPFT - in lack of P8-3D's preloader file - I sucessfully used P8 mini's preloader file 'preloader_p389bf.bin' , but always precautionally unticked preloader in SPFT to prevent its download to the mobile.

Hey folks, below is a complete scatter file for Elephone P8 3D.

I have ported it from raw mt6750 chipset variant. Note that I have removed some unwanted partitions like frp, nvram which I think won't exist in stock rom (also its set to isdownload=false, so better to remove it)

There are hardly less probability that it will fail. You can test it on your device without any hesitation. Still I would suggest take some precautions before trying it. Enjoy :)

Removed some unwanted partitions like frp, nvram

These are reported in the partitions table of Elephone P8 3D:

frp

0x0001a88000

0x0000100000

nvram

mmcblk0p16

0x000a700000

0x0000500000

Where have you read that it is set to isdownload=false ?

P.S. - I got it now... from the ported scatter file! By the way, permission is needed to download your scatter file.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] Oldpapa49:
This phone does not display like that. That is like before 7.0? or this is just how Elephone did the display. The settings of the phone is unlike that of others.

I check both of my LG's and they display the same. My car radio is 4.4.4 and it would look like your phone if I recall.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] YuriRM:
TAKEE 1 is an Android 4.2.2 device. There is a limit of 4 GB for user apps on this 32 GB device. Will a custom ROM of Android 7.1.2 allow for a higher limit on this device? What is the user limit for apps on Elephone P8 3D ?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Oldpapa49:
On my Android Car Radio, being a 4.4.4 KitKat, it had 1g for apps and 16 for other. However, the devs made the memory expandable using a option or something called FUSE. The idea was to joing external and internal as 1 memory total. So user apps expanded to the 16 + 1 total.

Here is a link that explains FUSE: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/mtcd-discussion-questions-development/malaysk-fuse-t3433106

I'm not to sure with 7.0 + , but I would guess that the old days of app limits is over. But, my Android LG Tablet has ran out of storage.

Now I have AppMgr III and it will display memory left for apps.

The Elephone P8 3D says total 53.6 GB Avail 22.32 GB, (41.6%) Android 7.0

The LG Aristo Total 10.06 GB Available 4.4 GB (43.7%) Android 7.0

The LG G-Pad 8 Total 9.98GB Available 3.33GB (33.4%) 7.0

Alcatel Tablet total 10.68 GB 4.78 GB (44.7%) Android 7.1.1

LG V30 Total 50.57 GB Avail 39.55 GB (78.2%) Android 7.1.2

So I think 7.x applies better app handling

Great! 0 threats detected by Windows Defender in Windows 10 64 bit.

changelog.txt needs update to version 1.8

MD5 check is OK.

However, MD5 is old and vulnerable to tampering. Can you use SHA-256 in future releases, please?

See attached screenshots of error messages during instalation. Maybe the reason is that it found Mediatek drivers already installed in 2016 or 2017 in this PC. It could not install 3 Mediatek and 1 Microsoft files.

There is an icon in Recently added for Uninstall COOLPADDRIVER.

I did not try to connect my phone to the PC.

What shall I do now?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Oldpapa49:
I did get the same issues during install.

After install and reboot, Coolpad updated to 1.8
[Other Tools & General Discussion] KP@2016:
Yes It also install coolpad drivers. If you want you can uninstall those since your device is not coolpad. Actually during installation it installs coolpad drivers you must cancel it if you don't want to install coolpad drivers.

Edit: If you still wants to install it you have to boot your pc into safemode but that's not necessary since that drivers are only for coolpad.

And yes you were right that mediatek drivers cannot be overwrite once install since its the same version that's why those error pops up. Nothing to worry everything seems normal
[Other Tools & General Discussion] YuriRM:
There is no icon for Coolpad Toolkit anywhere... just Uninstall COOLPADDRIVER.

Shall I take that option to uninstal and remove everything? Then I will try again, opting to cancelling the installation of Coolpad drivers. Is this feasible instead of booting the pc into safemode? I want to streamline to procedure for newbies. There are a lot of female owners of Takee 1 that gave up on flashing ROMs and sold their phones.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] KP@2016:
No it will only uninstall coolpad drivers nothing else. Uninstall.exe of coolpad toolkit is present in the installation directory
[Other Tools & General Discussion] YuriRM:
Therefore, Uninstall COOLPADDRIVER is the right option for Takee 1 owners, right?

Shall I reboot the PC before or after clicking Uninstall COOLPADDRIVER?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] KP@2016:

Tonight I will connect the phone to Coolpad Toolkit and complete the Add Device procedure for Takee 1.

There should be an explicit option to avoid the confusion caused by COOLPADDRIVER during installation. Everybody wants a smooth instalation.
