Due to an OTA update being provided from Oukitel it became necessary to learn how to use the SP Flash Tool.

Guide to reinstalling the Stock firmware for your Oukitel WP10.

(the bootloader will remain unlocked if you unlocked it as in the previous post)
​

I loosely borrowed from the gents at GetDroidTips This process assumes you are using a Debian based linux distro.

​

1. Download the stock rom OUKITEL_WP10_EEA_V10-R11. Extract rom folder.

2. Download the latest SP Flash Tool . Extract.

3. On linux, there is an error regarding libpng12 which deprecated in newer versions of linux. For the reckless, a nice person from SO made up a custom .deb to install to fix this problem here. Otherwise you have to manually install it so that this program can find it.

4. Open your SP Flash Tool folder and run flash_tool. A nice little gui should pop up if it runs.

4a. Go to the Download tab and choose "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin" as your download agent.

4b. Under scatter-loading file, navigate to the stock rom folder and "MT6873_Android_scatter.txt" should be the only option and choose it.

4c. Reading the windows instructions here recommended unticking the "preloader" in the payload section below these options on the Download tab as it might brick the phone, so I did. I do not know if this is necessary.

5. Turn off your phone. Then plug the USB cord in and hold the volume up key down so the flash tool will detect the device via USB. Can also try holding the volume down key down. Do not press power button like you would if you were planning to boot into fastboot.

If all goes well the flash tool will reflash the stock rom and reboot into stock rom. The bootloader will remain unlocked until you use fastboot to relock in the post above. There was an OTA update yesterday: OUKITEL WP10 EEA_V14_20210118 . The phone UI feels a little snappier but it appears that the stock rom launcher still does not have an app drawer. This might be a Google thing and not a Oukitel thing. However, 3rd party launchers with app drawers now work with 3 button navigation! The recents tab and app drawer appear to be functional. Gesture control still appears to be not functional with 3rd party launchers and some but not all not all widgets will update after a reboot. Cause to be determined. I have not tried to repeat the root procedure above.

hello, I am new and have been looking for threads about rooting c19 oukitel, but seems non exists. How could i start one?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] calfax:
....for phones that have a small user base, you can just start a thread for your phone under general like I did. Xda may be like Stack Xch where you need to have a certain number of posts before you can start your own thread. I don't recall. If so, you will have to reply to some posts first.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] glitchhawk:
Hey Calfax, not to hijack your thread, but I am thinking about getting this phone, would you mind explaining what the new update did and did not fix?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] calfax:
It fixed your ability to use a 3rd party launcher. It did not fix the widgets issue. I think this is an Android 10 issue more that Oukitel specific. Having a phone with an 8000 mAh battery has helped tremendously over the last few days.

The phone does not like to use 4g data and I do not know why.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Blob Blobbed:
sup op,

Just got oukitel wp10 today. I have just done a quick read through everything here and am probably going to try and get root going asap.

I have read elsewhere that treble based phones (such as this one) can basically have any treble enabled custom rom installed on them. I know very little about this but is it a concept your are familiar with?

am very glad someone has taken the intitiative here regardless. thanks for that!!

p.s. ditto on the pubic lice and hemorrhoids thing and also for whoever designed the xda app
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Blob Blobbed:
Also, I bet the 4g issue your having is related to what bands the phone operates on. Who is your carrier?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Blob Blobbed:
I have obtained root and have a few nuggets of wisdom to offer regarding OP's instructions. First off BIG THANKS TO OP ONCE AGAIN FOR TAKING THE INITIATIVE!!

1. The first problem I ran into was with creating a vbmeta dummy image at OP's #4a in his second comment on this thread. There is a link to AVB Tools in the first paragraph and what is supposed to be a link to the tool on google's github page in the second paragraph but the link in the second paragraph to the github page is not working, so I defaulted to the first link but the AVB tool on that page, for whatever reason, is not working properly, while the tool on googles github page DOES WORK AS INTENDED.

I think what OP intended to link to was the following: https://github.com/PixelExperience/external_avb

REGARDLESS, I have attached a copy of my vbmeta "dummy" image to this post, so you can just use that instead if you prefer.

2. If you update your phone after isntalling magisk, you will have to go through the fastboot process again, and yes this means YOU HAVE TO DO THE VBMETA STEP AGAIN BEFORE THE MAGISK STEP OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.

3. I bricked my phone and was having trouble running the SPFLASH tool, linked in OP's third comment on this thread. IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY TROUBLE RUNNING THIS TOOL JUST DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF UBUNTU AND RUN THE SPFLASH TOOL FROM AN UBUNTU LIVE USB. I tried on a couple different linuxes with the right kernel version and still had trouble so just do it from ubuntu live if you are having trouble.

4. If you are stuck in a bootloop like I was, you can still run the SPFLASH tool. Just get the tool setup, press download, then plug in your phone and hold the volume up button as it enters the off-stage of the bootloop, the SPFLASH tool will pick it up and start the flash process if you time it right.

5. OP says he is still having trouble with third part launchers but I was able to get Nova launcher running by installing it, then when holding down on the nova launcher icon on the home screen of the default launcher, there is an option to make nova the default launcher from there. idk if every 3rd party launcher will be able to do this, but Nova was.

6. OP also mentioned having issues with gestures, and pointed to it seeming to be a Google issue, and I have confirmed that it most certainly is, as there is a message in My Nova launcher settings that says:

CURSED BE TO GOOGLE. PRAISES TO OP
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Blob Blobbed:
Found this in the stock rom zip and translated it (was half in Chinese). Thought someone might find the info useful
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Blob Blobbed:
Hard bricked my wp10 with spflash. DO NOT FORGET TO UNTICK PRELOADER USING SPFLASH TOOL.

Hopefully the oukitel people can help cause I have spent hours now trying different fixes and have only managed to get a blank black screen by opening the phone, unplugging and replugging the battery (so technically some progress). But i can't justify spending any more time trying to fix.

This phone is (was) great and its nice to have no restrictions on rooting or whatever but great power/responsibility/etc, u know the drill

kinda surprised there isn't more activity around this phone on XDA though Cuz it is a sweet one.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] chuck.lambert78:
Has anyone pursued anything further with this beast of a phone?

I have purchased one and used it several weeks now, and did find the operating system leaving a lot to be desired, and really dislike the iPhone-like swiping gestures that I initiate accidentally all the time. My company phone for my job is a newer iPhone with the same gesture motions, unlike my previous employer-provided iPhone.

This WP10 has amazing potential but really could still use a better custom ROM.

And my 6800mah Blackview BV9800 battery outlasts this 8000mah battery.

My biggest complaint so far is the GPS fixing using Locus Maps Pro or Google Maps.

I get a display of a multitude of satellites within view,but within 5 seconds, all GPS satellite fixing disappears on the Locus satellite display screen,and I can no longer get a location fix.

Same problem with Google maps, although I don't have any advanced tools to see the satellites being used as I do with Locus.

With locust, I can refresh the GPS connection and they reappear, but then still disappear immediately. This is very annoying when using a rugged outdoor smartphone for rugged outdoor navigation.

I might be replacing the faulty touch screen interface on my 1-year-old Blackview BV9800 if I cannot find an easy solution for this Oukitel WP10GPS issue.

A custom ROM or updated upgraded ROM would be very nice!

I'm not sure why the battery does not last as long as the Blackview's smaller battery, but I liked the size of the battery on this better than the current flagship Blackview models, and I also liked the more ruggedized case with far more screws securing the case halves together.

The BV9800 was the last of its kind from Blackview, the BV9900 has a slightly smaller battery and a less rugged appearing case, & the new 5G rugged version using the BL6000 is just an upgraded 5G version of the BV9900, same case design, battery still smaller than BV9800.

This is why I jumped ship after 3 Blackview rugged phones and tried out this Oukitel WP10. It has potential to be superior to the BV9800, but ROM issues are making me question switching back to the BV9800.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Blob Blobbed:
i think the gesture issue might be an android 10 problem although i dont recall having this sort of problem b4 bricking my phone.

the gps issue i did experience and i can say that on other devices i have seen improvement to gps services from installing custom rom, walking/driving forward while trying to get directions or current location on map app, also enable wifi and bluetooth monitoring (google.says it helps but in most situations/locations i doubt it does)

É possível instalar o gsi treble rom no wp10? Notei vários erros.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] quasi_mojo:
hello all!

i really hate to post a thread on something thats probably already been solved with an easy answer but after 2 hours searching/head scratching and various tools/program downloads i cannot for the life of me get my kaiser's built in gps to work.

on the phone:

T-mobile (uk) MDA Vario 3

R: 1.27.12.32

(edit: i now know this to be an older german/russian version, any advice on a newer version appreciated)

G: 22.45.88.07

D: 1.56.00.00

ive tried setting to com4 with various baud rates (weirdly it hung when i tried it with 4800 and had to soft-reset so didnt work!) ive installed vaious programs (GPStest/GPS info/ GPS Gate etc etc) with all programs including tom tom 7 saying that theres no GPS device!

im pulling my hair out!

im guessing i'll need to update the firmware but hopefully not!

im on my knees for help!

(btw, thanks for reading this!)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
The best way how to start gps is:

start quickgps and download the data, then if u have installed gps test, start it and wait for it to find the satelites. Dont change the options. Try to be outside and not in house or building.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] quasi_mojo:
no

the GPS is not being found, it is either disabled by the rom/radio or is Fubar!

simply downloading location data isnt going to get it to work!

unplug your computer, walk off into the distance, put it on the floor and tell it where it is.

does it turn on and boot to windows?

me thinks not.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
I dont understand what do u mean. I think the mda cant have the gps disabled, I have htc kaiser and the steps that I wrote always works for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] quasi_mojo:
perhaps you are running different firmware/roms ???

having fiddled with gps gate some more, an amberish/red led on the right side has started to flash, but still no programs can find the gps! i thought tomtom7 had it when it paused on com4 but then it stayed like that for 15 minites!

Grrrrr

and sorry mikulec for the harsh response, this is really getting on my nipples now!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
yes I have a different rom.

Another option - try to disable the assisted gps, for that u need to install schaps advanced config - that is a very helpful application.

There can be also one possibility that your gps is faulty.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] quasi_mojo:
i will try that and post back

cheers for your help so far!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
U are welcome and I wish u luck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] quasi_mojo:
ok, i disabled assisted gps

now all my gps programs are reporting

'could not open com7 it may be in use'

but nothing else happens!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
:confused:

Go to settings/system/external gps and tell me what settings(in the 3tabs-programs,hardware,access) u have set there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Have you seen this Configuring Tomtom 6 thread linked to from the Wiki yet? If you've tried all of that and still it doesn't work, if it was me I'd hard reset and make Tomtom Navigator the only program I next installed then I'd test it again without making any configuration changes to it (at least the version I use, I don't know if other versions require any fiddling about to get them to work but TTN 6.032, Google Maps and Microsoft Live Search have all been just a case of once it's installed do a soft reset (not even sure this essential but I do it anyway) and then when I start them up, they work fine). Be very patient and give it ages out in the open to find satellites the first time after a fresh install/hard reset.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trashie:
No GPS after official update

Hi,

I've got very similar problem : i've upgraded my Kaiser with a official rom/radio from Orange FR (wm 6.1, rom 3.31.73.0 FRE, radio 1.65.16.25).

Since this upgrade, my Kaiser cannot find the inboard GPS. I tried using Google maps, ViaMichelin, OrangeNavigation, and many GPS tools... none of them was able to find the GPS !

That sucks.

I called Orange 2 days ago, and i'm waiting for a response. I'll post there if any news.

Mathieu

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] tecknight:
@amazin1988

Unfortunately, ATT does not release firmware files.

Instead, you must update using FOTA (Firmware Over The Air).

From ATT's website you must:

Make sure you're in the U.S. and on our wireless network.

You can download the update via Firmware Over the Air (FOTA).

You must connect your device to Wi-Fi® to download the update.

Although there should be no impacts to settings or data, we recommend backing up your media files to an SD card, a computer, or using a favorite application, prior to upgrading the software.

Update & verify software

Update software

Make sure your device is fully charged and connected to Wi-Fi.

Swipe down from the Notification bar and select Settings.

Scroll to and select Software update, then Check for updates.

Follow the on-screen prompts to download and install the update. The device automatically restarts once the new software successfully installs.

If you have tried this and failed, what error message are you getting ?

or you can visit this ATT site for help with your issue:

[xiaomi redmi note 8]

so, the thing is:

days ago i tried to install a new rom, but it was kinda bugged, so i decided to flash the stock one. when i went to wipe system, data, vendor and cache, i got an invalid argument error. to fix this, i used adb and <fastboot erase> command to erase system, userdata, vendor and cache. when i reinstalled twrp, it couldnt mount those partitions, so i changed them files' system to fat and to ext4 again. it worked and now i was able to wipe everything. i installed the stock rom and then twrp version 3.5, attempting to root the phone. when i firstly entered recovery mode, i marked that box "never show this again" and allowed it to make modifications, but it didnt request any password (however i set up one). went to "install", but all files were encrypted. then, i restarted the phone to recovery again, and that verification step i mentioned earlier (to allow modifications) was there again.

tried "twrp decrypt (password)" using the terminal, but it shows me "failed to decrypt data"

tried to format all data, but it shows me "operation not permitted"

how can i proceed? may anyone help me, please?

[LG V60 ThinQ Themes, Apps, and Mods] nerys71:
I downloaded LG Dual Launch. it works fine but there is one big problem. I ONLY want dual launch icons on the second screen. since they launch 2 apps the only time they are useful is when I Have the second screen attached so I want those icons ON the second screen so I only see them..... WHEN the dual screen is attached :)

Problem is I can't seem to figure out how to do that. No matter what I do it creates the dual launch icon on the main screen and I can't figure out a way to move an "ICON" or "shortcut" to the second screen. I tried moving the dual launch program to the second screen but it still creates the shortcuts on the main screen not the second screen

Suggestions?
[LG V60 ThinQ Themes, Apps, and Mods] nerys71:
OK Update. it appears this is an OS LIMIT and not something the app has any control over !!! In reading review responces it seems he is going to attempt to do widgets which would solve the issue. Hopefully that will come soon.

Got my 512GB on 27th. Came from S10+.

My Quick reviews after 5days :

The silicon cover is soo bulky with spen.

Battery life is great. Last me a day with light gaming.

All night mode pic are sharp.

100X Zoom looks good compare with my Canon 5DM3 400MM with digital crop.

CAmera AI is kinda AI :P

Samsung UI not laggy like any previous version of Galaxies.

Phone is kinda heavy.

The system partition uses less space compare to S10+ 512GB.

Speakers are loud.

Audio paired with Sennheiser Momentum 2 sounds great.

Samsung DeX is smoother compare with S10+.

8K video is acceptable.

Fingerprint unlock is fast. Accuracy 1/50 failed unlock.

Thats it for now folks.

my experience with night photo - very noisy, iphone 11 pro max beaten it in every aspect,

auto switching between cameras is funny - You increase zoom, as soon as it gets to the next lens the quality degrades then as You cross "logical border" the quality returns back to normal (or expected one), so the steps are very discrete comparing to smooth switch on iOS

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] trtr:
Hi, this is my very first post here, in the best site/forum on the internet about PDA.

Here's my doubt: I have an Artemis With WM 6.0 in Portuguese. I want to take my risks in the world of cooked roms and i want to try the artemis touch 4.02, wich it is in english. As I read, we just have to run the USPL and than flash with any rom. Am I right?

Second question is: I have a portuguese rom or at least an extended rom. My question is: I flash my artemis with the english artemis touch 4.02 rom, supose that I don't like it or something else and want to return to my portuguese rom I can use the extended portuguese rom that I have?

Something like this:

1.Original Portuguese Rom

2.Flash with the english artemis touch 4.02

3.Get back to portuguese with extended portuguese rom that I have.

Can I do this 3 steps if I wish so? And if I do all those 3 steps will I loose my warranty?

Congratulations for the amazing comunity...
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] piratao2:
Don't forget to remove any passwords before you flash the new rom. And it is essential that you flash USPL before you flash a new rom. I made the following order, to success:

1-SIM unlock (definitive)

2-Temporary CID unlock through USPL (CID locks again after next step)

3-Flash a new rom. In my case, I'm using Oops Black v1.

Regarding the other questions, as far as I know, once you flash a new rom, you loose the old one.

And at last but not least, if you mess with it, you can always tell them you did nothing to it. I just don't know if they will believe you.
