I had a similar issue with no baseband displayed and the imei wiped out in android/settings/about because I was finger happy and wiped the nvram partition in twrp without any backup at all while playing around with Project Treble GSI roms.

What I did was restored back the original stock rom here which is a very new build http://forum.cubot.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2345 CUBOT_X18_Plus_8021C_V33_20180830 I also used the latest version of SP FlashTool Windows v5.1828.01.000 here to flash original rom back above which should restore the baseband modem https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LvPV7HfYo_79yUldDswxU6bnbYLfH9pz/view

Direct link to the latest rom here https://mega.nz/#!kFk30Q7T!bKjKUCxpDvZbsb4upUo3rNssG8xvw0g6s3m6DfLA7SA

Restoring original stock rom is required in order for the MTK engineering tool found on google play which I first linked in your earlier post above to work successfully in order to write back both the original SIM1 & 2 imei's that are written on the original box or back of phone.

You should also ensure after you've written them back one at a time, the app should say written successfully. Once you have that confirmation you have to reboot phone in order for the imei so show up in android settings/about along with the baseband info also.

Good luck!

Another tip btw, dont use the original micro usb charge/data cable to restore the rom. It's very poor quality, at least mine was. I had tons of issues with a slow, even corrupted restore of the stock rom. I changed cable and it was tons faster and worked without issue.

Another tip after restoring stock rom, ensure you dont root the phone with magisk or supersu at least until you've finished using the MTK engineering tools to write back the IMEI and rebooted, the MTK Engineering tool does not require root access.

After hopefully you've got it all working, you can proceed to reinstall TWRP, Change to a custom rom and supersu/ magisk Root etc .

Did you use firmware upgrade in the SP FLASH TOOL?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] himmon:
No, use download only. Just browse to the scatter file (Scatter loading file, choose) in the extracted firmware file folder to load all partitions, default download only should be selected.

Ensure phone is powered completely off and disconnected from the usb cable. Press green download button, plugin usb to phone.. That's it, wait and it should auto detect and start flashing the firmware. No need to power on phone or press anything.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kene200:
Didnt work. BAseband is still unknown
[Miscellaneous Android Development] himmon:
So after restoring the stock rom back, did you write the original IMEI's back to the phone afterwards and reboot?

Did you receive any error writing both the imei's back? Baseband showed unknown on mine up until I wrote the original IMEI's back and rebooted.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

Your other alternative is the phone's obviously still under warranty as came out in February this year so either get direct support from cubot or get it replaced from the vendor you bought it from.

Restoring the stock rom back to mine locked the oem bootloader again so that should'nt be a tamper issue for your guarantee.

You couldt have used MTK ENGINEERING Because it says "fail to write imei due to radio unavailable or something else"

Damit ... I don't know why I don't get it to work this time.

I installed TWRP and want to install the GSI version of RR7.0.

But after installing the image with twrp it won't detect any OS on my phone.

What GSI do I need for the x18 plus? A only or A/B? (anyway, I tried both)

Steps I have done:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. data/factory reset, wipe cache, mount /system in "old recovery"

3. Install twrp

4. reboot twrp

5. wipe everything again

6. install -> image -> image file -> system image -> Twrp log said successfull

7. want to reboot -> "No OS installed"

8. bootloop

I am now back to stock using sp tool, but I would love to have RR installed...

One thing I have discovered while wiping ... I can't wipe the vendor partition ...

Only have: Dalvik, System, Data, Internal, Cache, protect_f, protect_s, nvdata, Storage, Storage

Edit: I have now installed phh-treble v31, at least the "no os detected" message dissappeard ... But still bootlooping (gsi a only)

Twrp is not able to mount /data. In the log I see many "Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)"

And "Could not mount /data and ubale to find crypto footer." "Unable to mount storage", "Unable to recreate /data/media folder."

So I believe it has something to do with the encrypted /data partition.

TWRP is started with granted permission to modify system.

After "format data", these error disappear.

Still bootlooping after image flash.

Wiping data, system, cache and dalvik -> flash image -> no "no os detected" -> bootloop

Edit2:

Downgraded to v31 and twrp to 3.2.1...

Data seems not to be the problem anymore, but /system ... even twrp won't give me any error at all after "finishing" the image flash.

Still twrp messages me there is no os installed ...

Within SP-Tool I use firmware upgrade to return to full stock (lock bootloader), download only for "just updating"

What is format all and download?

I have a few partitions I never saw before (check above), i would like to get rid off...

Since I see the /vendors within "Mount" but not fore wiping.

Edit3:

Just found my old post at #33

Never used twrp for cubot x18 plus before ...

So I tried this command again.

Image is visually flashing, fastboot is much more informative than TWRP (at least for me)

But last time this may cased my missed call error, still it would at least boot.

Well ... At least it is starting again.

Will check for errors tomorrow...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SHADOWDAN_:
If you want you can try this GSI https://github.com/EnesSastim/Downloads/releases (arm64 A only) as i know it must work but personally i not tested it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] houston_:
Trying any GSI I get hold off tight now.

Yours was on my phone just a abput an hour ago ... but stuck while loading screen.

I should skip PIE GSIs ... Shese seem to have problems at the cubot.

Either no booting, or google makes problems (can't get the login form loading, even after recertifying the framework id)

Oreo Roms seem to work better, but there are nearly no up to date.

Ressurection is working, but I ditched that because of something I can't remember ...

Phh's AOSP is working too, but I don't like the design.

If it now works, I will settle with XenonHD, this is a rom I know from my One.

Edit: Another thing I came accross:

If gapps won't istall (too less storage) just boot once and you can install it.

Sadly the MagiGApps are not working with Magisk not officially (maybe with a little work).

Edit2:

Xenon started fine, after flashing gapps the configuration Assistent is crashing repeatedly... A new kind of gapps error every second rom I try ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Muhammad.toufix:
Appreciate your reports. I don't have cubot anymore
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SHADOWDAN_:
What partitions you wiping before installing GSI?

As i know before installing GSI first heed wipe data, cache and system too. Someone please correct me if i'm wrong.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] houston_:
I can understand that, it is not that good phone, but for a backup (right now my daily) its great, especially bebause of the big battery. I don't want less in my next phone.

Yes, these are the ones I wipe to.

AOSP 9.0 by phh is working btw. (bundled with gapps)

I need gapps and install magisk with every rom I try.

GSI with bundled gapps are working better, I believe.

Trying OctopusOs right now, gapps included.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] houston_:
Okay, finally I got Havoc OS running.

Got some more tips for fellows that are trying to patch:

1. Don't boot OS before installing GApps (this has caused much trubles for me)

2. If GApps can't be installed: Resize you /system partition (TWRP: Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> check /system -> "Repair and Resize" -> Resize)

3. If resizing fails: Try to mount /system, try to resize again, maybe two times ... (Had first "e2fsck ERROR: 4" and "1" and then it worked)

4. GSI install with "fastboot flash system system.img" and GApps and Magisk with direct "reboot" to TWRP. (Used sideload without problems)

One thing I still don't know ... Why some GSI just won't start (reboot to fastboot) or will stay on bootlogo (infinity boot)...

PS: You can find a quite nice summary over here: https://treble.andro.plus/

Also the Cubot x18 plus (shipped with oreo) is a "Treble Legacy" device.

A device shipped with Pie is a "Treble ready" device.

Don't know if this really matters ... but I haven't tested the FlokoROM GSI (Cite: "Unofficial FlokoROM GSI for Project Treble ready devices?")
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wiccio:
Sorry for the stupid question but I'm a newbie...

I'm trying to follow the installation step, so I've installed in my laptop the platform-tools. Then, in a command form, I've written "

adb reboot bootloader

" while the smartphone was on; it has restarted in fastboot mode. Then I've written "

fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-x18-20180805.img

" but I obtain the message fastboot: error: cannot load 'TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-x18-20180805.img': no such file or directory. So where I have to put the .img file?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] SHADOWDAN_:
Hi. Can you please explain how you managed boot Havoc-OS? I tried Havoc-OS and phh-treble and always stuck on cubot bootlogo.

That how i tried installing it:

reboot to fastboot

fastboot flash system Havoc-OS_arm64_aonly.img

reboot to stock recovery without booting to system

factory reset (wipe /data /cache)

reboot to system

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] houston_:
Trying custom roms too, after loosing all data due to the "reboot of death"?

Okay back to havoc...

Which version are you trying to install?

I had the most success with oreo roms.

Maybe try the resurrection remix first, take a close look if you can receive calls, that was the only error I had with that rom, if I remember correctly.

Booting sometimes really takes a lot of time, for the first boot, maybe just wait longer.

I am back to rooted stock, since I had different problems at random.

Still getting these errors... But I wait until I get a new phone and try it again.

Until then my experiments are on hold.

Edit:

Just took another look at your post.

Try to resize your /system.

You need twrp for this, install is easy over fastboot.

I belive this was within the repair partition option, after that you can mount it again and havoc can install.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SHADOWDAN_:
Today i tried installing different gsi again. And not one of them started. I tried phh-treble 8.1 and PixelExperienceP it's just stuck on logo :/ Also tried with gapps and without
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zlew:
I've been trying to flash a GSI for a couple hours now.

My steps look like this:

- install latest stock ROM

- enable OEM thingy in developer tools, go into fastboot and unlock the bootloader

- wipe stuff in stock recovery

- install TWRP over fastboot

- format /data through TWRP (it's encrypted and can't do much else otherwise)

- reboot recovery and install a GSI (tried latest lineageos 17.0, 16.0 and resurrectionremix 7.0, all version A for ARM64)

So far I've managed to get stuck in bootloop or freeze at the boot screen, or get thrown into fastboot straight after booting.

At this point I'm pretty clueless.

If anyone's been successful with installing a GSI, can you write down the entire process, start-to-finish, on how you accomplished it?

Good morning friends, the query I want to raise is this: Will someone in the community have a Blackview A7 cell phone? is that lately the system of my A7 was updated and I do not know what happened that now the phone does not pick up 3G signal, only EDGE, I think it has something to do with the modem, I already put the STOCK ROM and nothing, I changed the IMEI , I tried several configurations in the APN and in the engineer mode, but it does not raise 3G with any line, something with the bands? Finally I want to ask to see if any one has an identical phone model and that could pass me the modem file that it has, it is in the root directory: root / vendor / firmware / and it is called: modem_1_wg_n.img. Although if you can pass the complete Firmware folder for better and much more, Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

I would like to start a foto project and would like to store those photos separately.

I don't want to use another camera app, because stock works best for me.

Would it be possible to have a "switch" to store pictures in a different directory than usual and them not appear in google fotos and syncing to another google account if possible.

I tried setting up a second user on the phone, but it didn't make a trick, because all pictures were still shared and visible in camera app and google fotos.

Maybe hiding moving pictures in hindsight would be a solution, but I don't want much overhead and they should still be backed up

Also I have a Nokia LD-3W External Bluetooth GPS which works fine with both smartphones.

Do you have any idea for a method?

Charge both phones, activate GPS and travel the same route. Repeat with each method(internal/external GPS).

At the end of the route, just compare the remaining battery percentage.
