I personally didn't try KINGROOT because the last time i tried it was annoying to deal with and remove. I did look into patching the boot.img with magisk to avoid the need for twrp but first we need the stock rom download which ulefone does not provide yet (probably because the phone is so new). It has a RGB led on the top right. Pictures of the front camera are poor but usable in high light and the back camera is good with flash or light and "medium" when darker. By that i mean that you are able to see the general things in the image when dark but don't expect to be zooming in or reading text without flash.

Another thing worth noting is just how LOUD the speakers are. Watching videos indoors on the lowest volume is already slightly too loud when the room is quiet and notifications/calls are also extremely loud anywhere above the lowest setting. It is much louder than any other phone i ever tried.

EDIT: The camera does allow manual controls of everything including shutter speed with another manual camera app.

Thx a lot for this information ,

has RGB led , but its working as indicator of messages or only for battery power loading ;) ?

when ROOT will be available I will buy this phone probably ... (this is mandatory requirement with all my smartfones , i cant imagine have smartfone without ROOT)

aaa one more question i forgot ;)

how sim cards and exernal memory is applyiable ? SIM + SIM + MemoryCard ,

or hybrid SIM + SIM / SIM + MemoryCard
[General Questions and Answers] ml11ML:
Charging and messages with selectable color. I agree about root however the phone was just too interesting to wait for root. I mostly need it to delete the gapps and google services as i don't use them so i can live with it for now. It has 2 sim cards and a micro SD card each in their own connector under the metal plate on the back so all 3 at once are possible.
[General Questions and Answers] noki_tel:
Thx again , now all is clear for me ..

i see one minus of this phone "rubber" around a case ... i hope so its properly mounted "glued" I have NOMU S30 mini now ... and after 1 year of using starting get away from corners

Ulefone Armor 3W/3WT TWRP custom recovery + ROOT

Instructions:

1. Flash recovery.img via spflashtool or platformtools.

2. Boot to TWRP.

Touchscreen is not working properly in TWRP on our gadgets. You need to use OTG cable and mouse

. Skip enter password form. Default language is russian so you can choose your in options.

3. Install disable force encryption and magisk (if you need root) via TWRP.

4. Boot to system. Enjoy.

[General Questions and Answers] ml11ML:
Thank you so much! This works great!

Here is a clickable download link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1J0HlsJYTyJUGAHjIXYMDUXye4DD9kEAC

For anyone following these are the steps i did (assuming you unlocked bootloader already):

1. Copy both zips to external sd as internal storage wont work at first

2. adb reboot bootloader

3. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

4. unplug usb and hold power button until screen turns off

5. let go of power button, count to 2, press and hold power button and volume up together until screen turns back on

6. let go of power button when screen turns on but keep holding volume up until you see TWRP screen

7. as above post said, cancel password and swipe to enter main menu and then one square above the bottom right to enter the language menu

8. flash both zips from external sd card

9. format data (not wipe but format to get rid of encryption) - i rebooted after flashing the zips and had to go back to recovery again to format the data !THIS DOES A FACTORY RESET!

10. reboot to system this will cause it to be set up as new

11. reboot to recovery again, this time there should be no password and in install you should be able to see internal storage of the phone

12. flash magisk / anything else you want

Also do you mind me asking... How did you manage to make this recovery? As far as i understand the stock boot.img is needed to port twrp or have things changed now?
[General Questions and Answers] Safg13:
Thank you for your feedback and more detailed instructions. I was only a tester, the work was done by nemo-nemo from 4pda. But how i can understand you need to use your stock firmware from ulefone mega storage. I got a problem when was working with twrp stuff. Tee key and google key red text in upper right corner. I have restored the IMEI's but google key still is not ok. I checked solutions for other ulefone phones but they dont work. Maybe android 9 is a reason. If anyone know something about it pls reply. Sorry for my english
[General Questions and Answers] ml11ML:
Aha. I did not know about any such ulefone mega storage existing although i have seen this kind of thing before when working with a no-name chinese tablet. I thought that the firmware simply wasn't released yet as there was no download link on ulefone page. Sadly i do not know anything about tee key or google key, it just worked for me. Hopefully someone else can help you with that.

[General Questions and Answers] ml11ML:
Thank you, i'm sure this will be very useful. By the way.... I tried remounting system as rw and it doesn't allow me to do that. I read online that this might be due to a "secure kernel" but can't get much more info. Do you know how one could solve this and modify the files in system partition? Maybe there is some flashable .zip patch to enable it?

EDIT: It works in TWRP just not in android. I suspect this is due to apps trying to remount /system but the phone actually has files in /system/system/ (2 folders one in another).

EDIT2: Don't try to restore a twrp backup if you have any important data, for me it caused the phone to go black screen and reboot as soon as it goes past the first few seconds of the Orange State logo to try and load the system.
[General Questions and Answers] artarts:
Have you tried using another antenna?

Mine broke inside and was receiving close distances but not transmitting at all..

I mananged to fix it with some soldering but it broke again later, then I bought a SF-18 soft antenna for Kenwood and got back in business.

This SF-18 antenna is very soft and I think boarding a car won't brake it anymore.

I had to cut out some of the extra rubber on the antenna near the connector, only estetics.
[General Questions and Answers] clewis.it:
Funny you should say. I did break my antenna, so I also replaced it with a flexible mini whip antenna meant for a Kenwood radio. I got the BNC version, because I want to quickly switch between this antenna and a mag-mount for my car.

It's definitely not the antenna. I was using a dummy load on the power meter, so the antenna wasn't even connected. What I neglected to check was the sma-bnc adapter. Turns out I wasn't getting a connection through that, but I can get a power reading when I screw the power meter in without the bnc adapters.

Got new adapters and still had an intermittent issue. Now, if I tighten it too much, I don't get a connection. I now have a washer and a thin rubber spacer from another antenna to get the right tightness and spacing on it. So far so good.
[General Questions and Answers] GDMorry:
Hi there everyone, I'm very new to the android scene and have a spare phone that is a Ulefone Armor 3WT and would really like to Get LineageOS or similar "Google Free" OS onto it. I am only interested in a couple of apps and don't want any "Google ware" on it at all. Keeping the Walkie Talkie function is however important to me.

Does anyone have any advise or links (walk through?) they could send me to achieve this?

TWRP doesn't yet seem to be available?

Thanks heaps
[General Questions and Answers] GDMorry:
SOooo...... rather than just "skim" through and therefore not reading this thread properly, I sat down with a drink (or two) at my PC (not on a small phone screen) and read in depth what you guys have been up to :geek:

I have managed to get LineageOS installed = Build number - treble_arm64_bvS-userdebug 11 RQ3A.210705.001 etc.

I now will go back and attempt to use @clewis.it version of TWRP etc.

Big thanks to everyone = I'm sure I'll get this device working how I want to now (y)
[General Questions and Answers] clewis.it:
Hello again everyone,

I seem to keep getting weirder and weirder issues. My fingerprint reader has stopped working. Android does not even detect that it exists. My rear camera jitters like crazy. Sometimes I can get a clear image if I wave it around for a while, but it takes some time before it settles down. I'm probably going to do a factory restore...eventually.

In the meantime, I have good news. The Atom XL got updated with new firmware back in May. I just looked at their google drive yesterday and noticed it. Among the changes were some Intercom related features:

1) Import/Export feature for Contacts and Zones

2) Channel Scanning

probably some other bug fixes that were not mentioned.

I did my thing and can confirm that both of these features work on the Armor 3WT. Both of these options are located in the "Device" page within Intercom.

Import/Export still works with my longer field lengths and the out-of-band frequencies. It exports to an XML file, so you can probably also make modifications to that file if needed. (I, for example, will typically change the sequence of records.)

Scanning is for channels within your currently selected zone only. We still do not have any frequency scanning, since we don't have a real VFO. Scanning stops as soon as it finds a channel with any activity, and Intercom switches to that channel.

So, without further ado, I am including a new Magisk module with the following changes:

1) Updated Intercom app

2) Customized Intercom

a. longer channel names

b. longer contact names

c. longer zone names

d. 90 and 120 second transmit timeout selections

e. frequency range expanded to 100-470MHz

3) added keymap file to map the PTT button to the "Programmable Red" button

Since I gave the PTT button a keycode, I also had to update the Automate flow to use the correct button. I'm attaching that file also.

Feel free to ask me questions if something doesn't work as expected. Take care.
[General Questions and Answers] clewis.it:
Interesting...

Looks like the new version of Intercom also increased the channels per zone. Looks like we can now have 256 channels in each zone instead of 48.
[General Questions and Answers] Hell-dragonne:
Hello everyone, little question. With a bluetooth headset is it possible to map the Google button of the headset to PTT mode and also activate the microphone on the headset?
[General Questions and Answers] clewis.it:
That's a good question. First, I don't know of any way to capture the headset button press and override its intention. If you find a way to do that, then all you need to activate the PTT is to send the intent "android.intent.action.PTT.down" to "com.a gold.intercom". Send "android.intent.action.PTT.up" to tell the app that the PTT was released.

Unfortunately, the answer to your last question is no. There is no reliable way to make Intercom use your Bluetooth microphone. It can use the mic input from your USB headset adapter that came with the phone, otherwise it can only use the handset mic.
[General Questions and Answers] Hell-dragonne:
OK, thanks for the details.

Really unfortunate for this option which is not implemented in the software, the phone will gain in mobility and in application field

(Google trad soory 😅)
[General Questions and Answers] clewis.it:
Hello,

I have a small update for the Intercom program. In the last version, I saw that each zone allows for 256 channels, but the program would crash if you tried to switch to a channel higher than 99. Turns out the channel number was never fixed to display 3 digits.

I finally took some time to figure out how that part is programmed and added the necessary elements. Works fine on my phone, so I'm attaching the updated magisk module.

I think I might have forgotten the auto-rotate on my last post, but this one does allow for landscape rotation.

All the usual disclaimers apply. Use at your own risk, I'm not responsible for any damages, blah blah blah.

Alright, now I have a brand new Magisk module for the Intercom app. I've managed to find solutions for the biggest problems we've had with running Intercom on new Android GSI's. I'm currently running LineageOS 19.1 and no longer require any third party apps to start extmodule or control the PTT button, and now the PTT button works with the screen off! The only problem I can't fix automatically is Android seeing the USB audio from the DMR board as a headset, and sending audio to that instead of the main speaker. We still need to disable USB Audio Routing for this.

Instructions:

1) Install your preferred GSI.

2) install Magisk

3) boot and setup.

4) enable developer settings (if your preferred GSI doesn't already have it enabled)

5) Go to Developer Settings and disable USB Audio Routing.

6) Go to Magisk Manager and install the Intercom Magisk Module (attached to this post).

7) reboot

That's it. Intercom will be installed, and your PTT button will work just like a real walkie talkie. Press the PTT and it will start transmitting immediately (as long as Intercom is running).
[General Questions and Answers] clewis.it:
Hello. It's me again. You know, it's funny what you can learn by reading GitHub and other unrelated issues.

First, I learned a while back that you can just throw commands in a service.sh file in a magisk module and magisk all run them on boot. Honestly I feel silly over that, I have read enough about magisk that I should have known this already. But, this is my first magisk module, so we will just call it a learning experience, and automatically running extmodule is a success.

On GitHub, I saw an issue regarding another phone with a PTT button and saw them list "getevents output". After reading that many times, I finally realized that this is a command line program built into Android. Now we can use that in a boot script to perform the PTT function. Another success!

This weekend I was researching an unrelated problem and stumbled across an "adb shell settings" command to enable a well known setting in Android. Well, it turns out this command also handles the developer options, and you don't even need to enable developer options to change those settings. And with this, the last of my major issues has been resolved.

Attached is the final version of my Intercom magisk module. You just install your GSI (Android 10 or higher), install Magisk, and then install this module from Magisk Manager. No further settings changes or third party apps required.

This has been a good learning experience. I hope it helps someone.

I assume your bootloader is unlocked and you rooted the phone. If so, you can go to PHHusson's treble experimentation github. Go to the wiki, then go to GSI List. There will be a list of all the different ROMs you can use. Lineage OS is there along with many others.

[General Questions and Answers] arkaitzswagman:
Hello and many thanks for this thread which got me through setting up a working custom rom on my phone. I wanted to do so for two main reasons:

I had battery drainage issues which causes I did not manage to find out (tried to find the apps involved as well as replaced the battery itself), I figured a newer OS would have a better battery management.

Aging stock rom (android 9) without any updates

I tried Lineage Os 19.1 but my SIM card was not recognized (French Telco should that matter ).

The /e/ image provided in Phhusson GSI list works perfectly though ! :)

I think I managed to install Magisk properly (25.2) but I get confused regarding how the intercom app should be installed.

I installed the latest module from clewis.it (module number 222) in the magisk app but I cannot find the intercom app even after reboot.

Should I install an intercom apk on top of that or is it included in the module and it just do not work in my specific case?

I might as well have done something wrong as it's my first try on twrp, magisk and custom rom ;)

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] clewis.it:
Hi. Sorry, I haven't used any recent /e/ rom. Its possible that they use different platform keys for their build. The Intercom app has to be signed with the same platform keys as the ROM, otherwise the system ignores the app. I will try it out later this week to verify. In the meantime, you might want to try other Roms as well.

Hi Clewis, thanks for your quick reply! Great, I will try with another lineage 0S Rom probably this weekend (I do not want to risk messing up my phone by mistake during weekdays).

Good idea. You could try any of the other GSI's. You might just need to setup your apn as long as your Sim card or imei is recognized.

I bought some 3wt spare charging boards last year and only paid like 12 bucks not sure if any that cheap left but you can check other vendors.

I will have to look up past orders and find the seller I got mine from and get back to you.

If not just search it up on this site. I purchased a whole bunch of spare boards including intercom board, for 3w and 3wt here . I have a 3t and want to convert it to 3wt also There are not as many board avail as they had last year but still some avail if you search for ulefone 3w or 3wt.

they also have 3wt shells, buttons and cases and batteries as well almost enough to build a 3wt from scratch

I am a complete aosp newbie and want to do as you did and convert my 3wt to some aosp

I have a few question I will ask in another post.

Thanks for all your hard work here I think I should have almost enough info to load new os
[General Questions and Answers] Eng7:
Hi again,

So as I had said, I am a complete noob with anything android.

I saw you are running lineage 19.1 is that still the case or have you upgraded to something possibly newer / better?

I do not know what os would be best for 3wt best security, but since you know what you are doing I might just as well duplicate what you have done since it works.

Sorry for my ignorance but how do I get started and unlock and root the 3wt? is there a read me or link for this?

I have 2 3wt's one in use on verizon and a new one. and want to use the brand new one to build degoogled but want to back it up as it is out of the box first.

I guess the first step is to somehow back up the new phone.

then unlock and root

then follow this page to install

also did you find your charger board?

Thanks
