So you both put a sim in and it bricked your phones! How can that happen? My WP6 is ok with my EE sim.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] andrewjohnyoung:
Thanks for this. I've released the beast in my WP6. Would there be a treble image using magisk instead of su?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] disthomuc:
There is a magisk adaption by phh designed for gsi

What is your opinion on the camera? I find it terribly bad. It is still possible outdoors. The quality indoor is bad. You shouldn't zoom at all. Then the photos become cruel.

Zooming in on the display is always bad. How does it look for you?

Hello ,

i have few questions :

1. root - no problem i guess ? with instruction from this threads

2. this model have "led indicator" - for new messages . missing calls etc .... ?

3. back camera is ok ? or like other china products is poor ?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Joergelmann:
No, there´s no led indicator for incoming notifications or calls.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] GroovyG:
Regarding the SIM bricks, that is clearly a hardware issue. Did you guys hotplug the SIMs? Never a good idea as you may short the pins, always turn the phone off to insert or remove SIMs.

I find it pretty good actually. Sure, in low light conditions it's nothing spectacular, but then again no phone camera is. There are limits to what physics allow with such tiny sensors, these aren't DSLRs.

Which camera app do you use? I find Open Camera to work really well, lots of settings too. HDR images look brilliant.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Joergelmann:
I tried Open Camera and Google Camera. Both apps don´t convinced me. Not even outdoors in nature. :(
[Oukitel (All phone models)] andrewjohnyoung:
Would you have a link? I've been searching and found only the abandoned/old threads of the phh magisk implementation

Computer doesn't see phone while in Fastboot Mode

Hello, thanks for the guide looks awesome for people like me who are not deep into this. I followed all the instructions and it was all fine until i entered into fastboot mode then when i wrote "fastboot devices" it did not find it and my phone its just staing in fastboot mode no reaction from neither. My phone is not bricked with just a restart its all back to normal but i cant make my continue with the process. Please if you or anyone know what should i do it will be great.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] theleftykid:
You can still proceed with other commands without (checking if you have a device connected - "fastboot device"). If other commands doesn't do anything or gives error, means your device is not recognise in adb.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Rongusha:
OK so i manage to sort it out. I read a lot in stackoverflow etc. and just wanted to say here as well as my problem was not very common. If the drivers are up to date and you still see your phone in adb but you cant see it in fastboot i may be because of using PowerShell instead of CMD.exe at least in my case that was the problem when i switched to CMD i had access. From then on was easy, for complete noobs like me (very first ever android flashing and never done anything more to phone than automatic updates) i should mention that you need to have "oem unlock allowed" from the developer settings and dont forget to show files extensions in the folder where the tools and .img are. Thanks!
[Oukitel (All phone models)] seanybiker:
Just ordered the phone nowz should have it in the next week. Can't wait to get it , this will be my fourth oukitel .

Hi Everyone.. Very useful Thread, Thank you to all you contributers.

I am a bit disappointed that a Custom Recovery hasn't been released yet for the WP6... I installed Havoc 3.7 WITHOUT Gapps, and I love the Rom...

The only problem I have is the GPS doesn't seem to pick up very well... Is anyone else getting this?

If not, does anyone know of a Fix for this problem?

Thank you.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] theleftykid:
i would prefer to stay on oukitel's firmware as it was designed to be fast. i have tried aosp and havoc gsi's but still prefer the original firmware as it's much smoother and faster and less to no issues.

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

i have sorted out most issues like apps being killed at sleep time. and also i have disabled the fingerprint sensor as it interferes all the time on chrome browser and YouTube.

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

also i have found out that the front camera is able to shoot RAW photo. the downside is it's in the front and has a fix focus. Open Camera can enable shooting RAW.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] desdan:
Thanks for the reply...

I know what you mean, but I sort of got used to having no Gapps or Google framework on it.

I like the idea of a Google free Phone.

However, If I decided to go back from Havoc to Stock Rom, What Procedure did you use?

Thanks ..
[Oukitel (All phone models)] theleftykid:
i backup my original firmware system, boot, and vendor first using miracle box before rooting and playing my phone
[Oukitel (All phone models)] desdan:
Okay ... Thanks...

I have never used it...

Do you have a link for it?

Thank you

[Oukitel (All phone models)] theleftykid:
I think the best thing to do when flashing MTK devices is not to flash the PRELOADER even if it comes from your original phone. It will kill your phone.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] LTemplar:
Can someone tell, if it's possible to record calls with this phone on stock firmware? Also with custom rom?

And how bright is display in the sunny weather?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] seanybiker:
My phone will go into fastboot but then it wont recognize my phone. ****e on it anyways.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] theleftykid:
yes you can record calls on its original firmware and the display isn't bad and still viewable under direct sunlight.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

have you installed the drivers?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] chiposh:
Download latest Platform tools, extract it to adb folder in C disk and replace old adb, fastboot files (4 files). Now with new protocol it should recognize it
[Oukitel (All phone models)] seanybiker:
Yeah I sure have them installed. Ill install all again just to be sure.

Yeah Ill try the latest as its been a few months since I used it on my other phone.

Preventing Tasks Shutting down.

I am sure, like me, you have found the Stock Rom on the Oukitel WP6 a little bit TOO Aggressive.

Well.... Here's what you can do to prevent it...

Install THIS Program, Activity Launcher, from the Play Store..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher&hl=en_GB

Then run it, and it will list Apps on your device..

Select "Duraspeed" from the list and then either Turn it OFF, OR Select the Programs you want to keep running, and not be

stopped all the time, VPNs, Greenify, etc..

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

Another thing I find irritating in no NOTIFICATION LED, or Front Flash, to use instead.

However, if you use This App, "FrontFlash Notification" ..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trendy.frontflashnotification&hl=en_GB

It will allow you to use the back Flash as a notification alert...

A bit Bright, and a bit crude, but better, in some instances, than NO Notification of any kind.

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

I would STILL like a working Custom Recovery for it though.

I am using MAGISK at the moment for Root, and it just refuses some Apps Root permission for NO reason at times, and

there is NO Option to override it.

I Miss SuperSU , TWRP, and the ability to back up my Phone.

There IS an automatic TWRP creator here...

https://forum.hovatek.com/forum-39.html

But I couldn't get it to download sadly.

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

A Question..

Did you use Magisk on the Stock Rom too, and does it refuse Permission to a lot of Apps it SHOULD Allow?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] malesh:
the camera is stuck with 12mp and battery drain to fast..it's sucks
[Oukitel (All phone models)] desdan:
My Battery is really good.. The only time it drained a bit more was when I had GPS LOCATION on. There is a 48 Megapixel setting.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] theleftykid:
To stop important background apps from closing, open SYSTEM MANAGER APP--- POWER MANAGER --- TAP GEAR ON THE RIGHT TOP CORNER --- TURN OFF INTELLIGENT POWER SAVING.

UNINSTALL DURASPEED IF STILL shutting off the important background apps.

Works for me both.

All my apps that needs root had no issue with Magisk. Maybe set root manually to the apps that needed root access by going to Magisk Manager app.

If you wanted to DISABLE the annoying FINGERPRINT SCANNER then you need to install Magisk again but this time, UNTICK the Preserve force enceyption and DM-verity checkboxes so you can access the VENDOR folder and rename the fingerprint related files in there.

I tried the latest TWRP porter from that website but no luck creating it as it gives an error and will stop you from creating the ported TWRP. I did managed to create one for my Oukitel K7 PRO but it does not work. You can actually post there and ask them to port a TWRP for your device and have a try if it works. Let us know.

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

Are you using the original firmware? Mine can access the 48mp capture using the app feature inside the camera app. I have no problem with my battery either. Yours must be faulty?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] seanybiker:
Ah ****e balls the OS I installed didnt have GAPPS, dopey me never checked to be sure so Ive to download one with GAPPs now which wouldnt normally be bac but Ive touse my mobile data, slow as tar.

Must look into magisk for meself since some of you lot seem to have it working.

As someoenj else said, on one ofthe (cant remember) OS my camera woulsd also only go to 12mp.

I must try get the camera app from the original firmware as its a lot nicer than whats on AOSP.

https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...nload/v222/system-quack-arm64-ab-gapps.img.xz

I presume thats the right one ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ADB device unauthorized
[Oukitel (All phone models)] desdan:
I put on Havoc 3.7 originally, and was happy about it.. apart from the camera app.. We have two WP6s here, so I got the ORIGINAL Camera App from the stock firmware, and it wouldn't install.

That was one of the reasons I went back to the Stock Rom... That and because of the overdone Power Saving.

But I am glad for now I went back to Stock Rom.

Now that I can turn Duraspeed off anyway.

That looks like the right Gapps you have there.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] seanybiker:
Yeah to be honest I liked the original stock rom but only tried these out to see what the craic was. Ill probably go back to stock when I find it and have loads of time to download it using slow ass mobile internet haha.

Does stock have to be done using SP tools or can we do it using an img file like havoc and aosp?

I need to look more around havoc. I thought I seen screenshots of loads of options to change but it seems there isn't as much , I must be missing something.

Also even though camera says 12mpx it does to be fair good quality. Maybe it's full but doesn't show it's full .

Sorry last question.

Anyone get Xposed working on the wp6? I dunno what to get or if it's even possible
[Oukitel (All phone models)] desdan:
I flashed it with SP Flash, being cautious and flashing everything except the Pre loader..

I haven't installed Xposed, but if you install Magisk, it has Modules in that too.. Including Xposed ..

I liked some of the features in Havoc, and I liked the idea of using it without Gapps, But as the Stock Rom

was designed actually for this model, and the Camera App is a good one.. And it is quite a snappy Rom, I

decided to return to it, and took the update before intalling Magisk.

I WOULD prefer to use SuperSU and Twrp if I could, and if TWRP gets released, I would probably switch to it.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] malesh:
i flashed this firmware AOSP 10.0 v222 and the camera is stuck with 12mp, in settings of camera i didn't find 48mp..with stock rom it works..i try alot of roms gsi but it seems like all got this bug
[Oukitel (All phone models)] desdan:
I don't think ANY Stock Rom will go over 12mp ..

It is something unique about the Camera that other Camera Apps don't pick up.

I tried quite a few, and they didn't pick up 48mp.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] theleftykid:
Does anyone have tried flashing the system.img on the latest update available in Oukitel's website? I just want to know how much memory space has been used and the available space on the /system folder for comparison with old system.img.

Attached is the screenshot of my SYSTEM folder's free memory after moving at least 20 applications into system/app folder.

I would like to systemise more apps so I don't have to reinstall again and again when I reset my phone just in case. But it's just not enough memory in there. My LG v20 has like 5GB of system memory this phone has only like less than 3GB.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] seanybiker:
It's just a simple flash using sp tools and unclicking preloader , is there any other settings I need to do ? I already messed up 2 phones by not thinking and really don't wanna ruin this phone .

Havoc is grand but the camera app is ****e . I might just go back to standard if I can find the rom .
[Oukitel (All phone models)] desdan:
I flashed using Sp FLASH, unticking preloader, and it was fine .. took the official rom update, and then used magisk.

it's been fine for me, apart from NOT allowing Superuser for some Apps I would like .

I LOVE this phone .. And I just want, like the rest of you all, to have a good stable, WORKING phone.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] seanybiker:
Cool . I'll do that so once I'm finished with coronation Street.

One thing I really don't like on havoc is I can't change the navbar buttons to be the other way around. I prefer back to be on the right and all open to be on the left. It's only something small but I'm cracking here lol.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] theleftykid:
i think navbar tweaks is available in Riru - Edexposed if I remember which you can install from Magisk.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] seanybiker:
It's grand , stock rom has the option to switch it around.

I haven't tried edexposed at all. Wasn't sure if it worked or not. Fairly tempting to chance it because I miss some of the modules
[Oukitel (All phone models)] seanybiker:
Any way to install the OTA update whilst having magisk installed ? I uninstalled it and it still wouldn't install so I'm hoping there is some way so I don't have to reinstall everything and get them all the way I like them .
[Oukitel (All phone models)] desdan:
I couldn't do it either Seany.. That's why I said in the Instructions to take the Update before installing Magisk.

You could use the magisk uninstaller, or there may be a workaround that I am not aware of.

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

Mine has 6GB definitely... I also own a K10 with 6GB .. Maybe the reporting of 3GB has something to do with the A/B thing...

But a few programs I am using, under Root conditions (I got Magisk working properly now) report 6GB.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Joergelmann:
Which vcom driver did you take for flash with sp flash tool? My device is never recognized.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] desdan:
If I recall correctly, switch your phone off, tick everything but Preloader, click download and then ...

Connect your Smartphone to the Computer using USB Cable which comes with the device (Power Off).

After connecting the device to the computer Press Volume Down or Volume Up key, so that your computer easily detects your smartphone.

Once Firmware Flashing is completed, a Green Ring will appear.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Joergelmann:
It doesn´t work for me. The device is not recognized.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] desdan:
I am trying to think of the correct routine..

I was having the same problem you are having.

Go through the routine I described earlier, then click the download button..

I think then, with the Phone switched Off, I may have pressed BOTH up AND Down volume button

and THEN connected the USB lead to the PC..

Then it began Flashing.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] theleftykid:
your driver may not be installed properly. try downloading the driver here

https://youtu.be/4qTw3vnt-JI

as it's just a one click install and restart the pc then you're good to use the spflashtool .

When flashing, turn off phone, press down or up volume then connect the phone to the computer. wait for it to start before letting go of the button you pressed.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Joergelmann:
Thank You guys. No it works fine. :good:

Really the driver was the problem.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] seanybiker:
Ah yeah thats no worries. I got all excited having it working properly for me that I just didnt give it enough time to check for OTA update. I have Titanium backup so Ill just do a full backup and SP tools the fecker and it be grand.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] theleftykid:
does anyone have issue with Facebook on this phone? Sometimes a Facebook video won't play and only restarting the phone solves it but then the problem comes back again after awhile.

Magisk Root Problem

As I had mentioned earlier in this thread, I have been having problems with Magisk not Granting Root after a while.

I could get it to start again, by re-installing Magisk again, then it would work again, but then begin to fail again.

I scoured the Net for a solution and I came across an App called "Magisk Root Granter v1.1"

I wanted to share this information with anyone facing the same problem.

I AM aware, that version 1.0 was posted in XDA a while ago, and the links to it were removed on suspicion of containing a Virus,

But as I REALLY wanted ROOT Granted on the Apps I am used to, and as a Custom Recovery isn't available to flash SuperSU yet, and Magisk

was beginning to feel a bit useless, I decided to give it a go, and it works well.

The only problem is, it needs to be granted Root lol.. So I re-installed Magisk..AGAIN.. and then got Root Granted for "Magisk Root Granter v1.1"

and it has made my life much easier. It works and I have had no Problems so I thought I would just share the Info..

I won't put a direct link to it, as the earlier version was removed from XDA, but it is easy to find on Google...

Use at your own Risk.. as I did ;)

Magisk Root Granter v1.1

Requirements: Android 5.0+

Overview:

Magisk Manager has a silly bug there is an unknown issue, SU access pop up never comes up after some time and even selecting grant default access the new apps never gets root access but the apps which generally has root access granted before the issue keeps working fine as usual.

Sometimes people reported flashing the magisk again works for them sometimes flashing stock ROM works etc

In Magisk logs, it displays permission denied, so request rejected, write failed with 32 broken pipe, etc

To fix it on those devices with issues, you can run Magisk Root Granter and grant root access (when root working fine with magick) and when issue comes in future then select apps option select the app which asks for root and click save should fix the issue, I created this tool after I got fed up hopefully it helps others.

What's New:

v1.1

- Fixed crashes on magick 19 and now automatically upgrade/downgrade database.

This app has NO advertisements

what about the Chrome browser? Does it freeze and force close sometimes or takes a bit long to load then just crashes? Mine does it sometimes.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] desdan:
Maybe it's something to do with your system mate..

When you are Systemizing your apps, and they are reporting 3GB, do you think it's a possibility that you are overfilling that particular Partition?

I am having no problems that you describe..

But it sounds like Memory Errors, if it's on unconnected Apps..

Just a suggestion..

As I have previously said, I have had 3 different versions of Oukitels now, and none have underpowered specs,

and it's my go to Chinese make because of that..

I would consider a Re-flash if it persists.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] seanybiker:
****balls, my computer isnt picking the phone up via USB, it charges from the socket alright but no connection or noise at all with PC connection. fúcksocks

disaster averted. Was the PC itself and not the phone. .
[Oukitel (All phone models)] theleftykid:
It's actually wasn't overfilled and still has 300mb memory left. Chrome is already in the system by default. I have updated the Chrome and didn't integrate the update to system yet but still has issues. Facebook was installed in data folder as normal. I don't have issues with my LG V20 and Oukitel K7 even if they have only like 200mb memory left. But anyway I hope Oukitel will update their latest firmware available on their website as the OTA update gives me an error as well.

OTA UPDATE MANUAL INSTALL

Download the OTA.zip using the "Wireless Update App"

Once it finished downloading, go to your Internal storage and copy/move the "OTA.zip" to your SDCard.

If you have a Magisk Patched boot.img installed on your phone then you need to flash back your original boot.img

Then boot to "recovery mode" ==>> Choose "Apply update from SDCard" and browse the OTA.zip

Sit back and relax. It can take about 5 minutes for all the updates and takes time during verification and flashing a system.img. Just wait until it says "Complete"...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Patched updated boot.img with Magisk and flashed it back to gain back your sytemless root.

or you can used my patched boot.img from here --- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IulRy7R8RtgkrAWU-rV6Jci5qEJMkCq_/view?usp=sharing

or you can try to flash your old patched boot.img (i haven't tested my old patched_boot.img)..
