What custom ROM?

All other ROMs are with fastboot commands.

I don't.own the phone anymore. But I think it was

Hold power and vol+ together.

Then when the Bootlogo pops up and the green led blinks , immediately release the power button but still hold vol+

That will bring you to the bootloader . And from there you can reboot to recovery

Sry, you`re right :`D.

Why you dont have the phone anymore??

Will come a new Eragon Version, based on Android 9 (pie)??

I will try it with this key combination ;). EDIT: Key Combination is ok, thank you for your help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
Last week I sold the phone. I also made a post a few posts back.

Well , but it was a mistake. I miss it :D:D

Maybe I will buy it again soon.

Updates? Easy to answer. No phone no updates.

I followed this thread, as well as the Resurrection Remix ROM thread closely. I appreciate your relentless work very very much and I almost regretted my decision to purchase the UPro when you told us that you sold your phone, because my decision to purchase it, was partly based on your ongoing development...

My UPro is on build 20180423.

I know that I will need to wipe the phone if I want to install either newer stock roms according to your guides, as well as Eragon or Resurrection Remix.

For that reason I would like to make a full TWRP-Backup (Nandroid) prior to any further actions, in case something goes wrong and/or I decide to go back to stock for whatever reason.

However, I am still puzzled wether I can install TWRP without ruining my chances to update further stock roms or install Eragon or Resurrection Remix PLUS, if I stay or return on/to stock rom, would I still be able to receive OTA updates if Elephone ever published new ones?

I'd be more than grateful, if yu could clarify this for me and others.

Thank you again for your work on the Elephone U Pro!

great idea :good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

qualcomm processors are much much better than mtk, for my part i will never buy a mtk phone anymore, they are too much instable and buggy with very bad gps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
I will try to explain it in my bad English [emoji14]

1. Twrp only works with eragon and aosp ROMs.

Because there I removed the encryption. That's needed because otherwise twrp can not see the file system .(it's encrypted)

2. Do you can't use twrp to backup stock. But if you flash eragon with its no wipe XML in qfil then you can update to my ROM without losing anything .

3. On aosp ROM like RR or pixel experience you need to perform a format data wipe in recovery before you restart the system.

4. When you go back to for example stock 0423 or 0511 ROM . All will go back to original. So you are also able to receive and apply ota updates.

Hope that clarifies it a bit

[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
Hahahaha. Well. Not all mtks. Haha.

Even mediatek learns. So the newer chips like p23 or x25 or the newest p60 are working very good. Even with GPS and signal.

Mtk devices don't have the Qualcomm security parts in the source/kernel. They are easier to customise etc... :D

I'm still thinking to buy u pro again. Maybe I do. We will see

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Maherabed1986:
I knew how to make it work on stock but why i need to make it if all the guys using Eragon and no one on the stock rom any more
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
Well.

Of course I also know how to make twrp working on stock ROMs. But you have to edit the fstab of the stock ROM. And for that you need root....

It's a long journey for users with just a little knowledge.

If someone wants that. Let me know. :) I also can make guide/how to, for that .

P.s : if you can edit twrp that it works with encryption , please do it :) so it can be used in stock roms too. Would be great :) thank you

Hello everybody. We start a funding offensive as [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION] doesn´t own his U Pro anymore. We asked him if he would develop further on for the U Pro if we support him to buy a substitute device. He would do this for us. So everybody is asked to join us funding him a new device. Every amount is welcome! The U Pro is a decent phone and it´s treble supported. So we can get Eragon based on Android Pie and maybe a successor. I think it´s worth it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
Thank you very very much.

very good idea cause skeleton is nearly support 24/7, i can't give a lot cause i lost my work but every amount even small will be great, don't forget if we had to pay a technician itvwill cost more than the price of u pro.

maybe you can create a fund rising i will give for sure

How to block Bootloader on Eragon v8 ? So - https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-elephone-pro-how-to-lock-unlock-t3799667 - does not work . What files can I replace with Eragon v8 - what would Bootloader It was closed by default - as on Stock Rom Build 20180514 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
You only can close the bootloader with 0227 base.

On newer releases that don't work. (Elephone made it this way)

If that abl.img I made from 0227 don't work

(But it should.)

You have to go back to stock 0227,( but edit the XML file first. Otherwise you lose IMEI, you see how in the unlock/lock thread)

After you flashed the 0227 . Reboot to bootloader and close the bootloader via ADB.

Then you can update again to 0514.

P.s you have 0514 already. But if you flash over stock roms like 0423 etc.. then you have to remove the abl.img and remove the abl.img line from XML file first.

Otherwise the bootloader is unlock again..

And thank you for the donation. I appreciate it !

If you have problems contact me again

Guys listen up :D

i was a bit sad because i sold the U Pro and bought a umidigi z2 . " what an experience / journey " z2 a nice phone but not comparable with U Pro. so i knew it was a bad decision. Then users started a crowdfunding to get me a new U Pro

i have got a handfull of donators. and i want to say THANK YOU! if got around 85 Euro on paypal now.

it influenced me in my decision with the U Pro. and i bought a new one from a user from greece. (alkis thank you very much)

he offered me a good deal/price for his U Pro. so i took the 85 Euro and added the remaining money.

i think on Tuesday i will have it. its already shipped :)

Thank you / i really appreciate it :)

i will wait for v9 unfortunatly i use nfc payments.

do you thing you will succeed nfc to work on a next eragon pie version?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
The problem with NFC is that we only have a android 8 vendor and boot.img . All android 9 treble roms are migrated to android 8 ,so they work.

To get NFC working in android 9 we need a new source from Elephone based on minimum android 8.1 .

But if that ever happens ?? I don't know.

Probably not.

Well I said transparent and black. But lol

Yesterday I started with v9 and first thing I looked at was the navbar colours. This is really difficult to change compared to android 7 etc.. also this theme engine is annoying,

There are many files and codes for the navbar most of them with "android:src=" and "android:tint". .... At the end I did some editing but it wasn't successful, the colors on the navbar didn't changed. Hope to manage that navbar thing soon

Don`t worry, I found a temporary solution some time ago with an external application and an ADB command.

Details in this post:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77232186&postcount=654
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
Yes that true. But it's not a solution for me. It has to be right in the rom from the beginning.

Normally in theory a android:src goes to a drawable file , most it's a png picture .

"ImageView

* * android:layout_height="wrap_content"

* * android:layout_width="wrap_content"

* * android:src="@drawable/myimage" />"

In our case it's a png. Ok good. The PNG file has a colour.

That colour and filename gets read from the resources.ID

So only change that PNG colour and you are fine.

The new colour will be applied in the navbar then.

But no, it's not working and at the moment I don't know why.

I also looked at the smali codes and there are only paths to the pngs I edited. Very strange. :D need to investigate it more
