KonnectONE Moxee m2160

4G-LTE Smartphone

Model No. MH-T6000​

OVERVIEW:

This is a heavily modified build of the stock Android 11 (Go Edition) ROM which comes preinstalled on the KonnectONE Moxee m2160 smartphone. Please note that, while flashing this ROM will not network unlock your device, the ROM does include added support for most GSM based providers on devices which have previously been network unlocked.

In a nutshell, this modified build focuses on the removal of bloatware and a slimmed-down, more responsive stock OS experience. In addition, once installed, the ROM supports full R/W mounting of all logical partitions encompassed within /super. (The unmodified stock ROM, notwithstanding Magisk systemless root, restricts proper R)W mounting of these partitions due to the stringent codebase changes which implemented the dynamic partition scheme back with the release of Android 10.) This ROM also disables force encryption to /userdata (DFE), disables AVB/dm-verity, and includes several mods for improved performance and responsiveness. While certainly nothing special in terms of custom development for the Moxee m2160, this ROM should provide users with a sufficient daily driver ROM with an optimized stock feel.

PREREQUISITES:​

An unlocked bootloader ​

A PC or laptop running on Windows 7, 8.1, 10 or 11​

Smartphone must be running Firmware Build No. MH-T6000V1.0.0B010​

The SDK Platform Tools on your Windows computer (link provided below)​

Installation of the proper ADB & Fastboot device drivers on your Windows computer​

The factory supplied, or a quality sufficient, USB-A to USB-C syncing/charging cable​

A reliable internet connection for downloading the required files ​

NOTE: We will not be using a custom recovery for installation of this ROM, but rather the dynamic user space implementation of fastboot mode, formally called FastbootD. This fastboot protocol was first introduced with the release of Android 10, and is primarily utilized for the management of dynamic partitions (devices with a /super partition).

DISCLAIMER:

This guide involves the invasive procedure of flashing the partitions of your device, thus modifying the configuration of the device from its factory stock state. This is always inherently risky to the integrity and operability of your mobile device. By proceeding further, you are assuming sole responsibility for the functionality and physical wellbeing of your mobile phone, thus absolving me of any liability in the event things go badly. This ROM has, however, been tested thoroughly on my own device with no negative issues. Moreover, in the unfortunate event your device becomes bricked or otherwise inoperable by way of a botched adherence to this guide, my firmware restoration guide for this device can restore both soft and hard bricked phones.

INSTRUCTIONS:

WARNING:

These instructions include steps for initiating a factory data reset, a procedure which will effectively erase all saved user data, app data, app preferences, photos, videos, music, documents and other media files from your smartphone. Make a backup at this point of all data, files and media that you wish to preserve.​

Download the SDK Platform Tools from the link below and extract the contents of the archive to an empty folder on the desktop of your Windows computer​

Download the ROM from the link below and extract the contents of the archive to your platform tools directory created in the previous step​

Because this ROM has been modified to disable DFE force encryption, it is first necessary to format the /userdata partition. With your phone in a powered off state, press the Volume Up & Power keys simultaneously until the Moxee logo appears on your display, at which time you should release the Power key, but continue holding Volume Up until an Android logo and a corresponding No Command notification appears on your phone display. Now quickly press and hold Power, tap Volume Down and then Volume Up to enter stock recovery mode.​

Use the Volume Down key to navigate to the Wipe data/factory reset option, then press Power to select. Confirm this selection on the next screen to initiate the factory data reset.​

Once the factory reset is complete, navigate to the option to Enter Fastboot, then press Power to select. Your phone should now boot to FastbootD mode.​

In the platform tools folder created in the first step, click on cmd-here.exe, then right click and opt to run it as an administrator. A command window will be launched. Now connect your Moxee m2160 to your Windows computer using a sufficient USB-A to USB-C data syncing/charging cable.​

In order to verify proper fastboot communication between your phone and PC, execute the following command:

fastboot devices

If properly connected, the command window will yield an alphanumeric value consistent with your mobile phone serial number.​

Execute the following commands once a proper fastboot connection has been verified. Note, the user may copy these commands and paste the full text to the fastboot command window for systematic execution:​

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.patched.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.patched.img
fastboot flash vbmetabak vbmetabak.patched.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_systembak vbmeta_systembak.patched.img
fastboot erase super
fastboot flash super super_rw.img
fastboot erase metadata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot

** Please note that the super_rw.img file is large in size. Fastboot may initially give a header magic notification error. However, the super_rw.img will then be allocated into a number of smaller sparsechunk files, which will subsequently be flashed to your device one at a time, until complete. Just remain patient during this process. This can take five minutes or more, but the process will not require any user action.​

Upon first reboot following installation, and after completing initial device setup, open your app drawer and search for the Magisk app or its stub placeholder. Open Magisk, grant any requested permissions, and follow any prompts by Magisk to update the version or complete setting up the root environment. If you do not see the Magisk app or stub, download the Magisk v26.1 APK from the link provided below and install the app on your phone. Be sure to then open Magisk and follow all prompts.​

BUGS:

Please report any bugs or instabilities you may encounter using this modified stock ROM. Those who know how to submit an official bug report are urged to do so. Otherwise, please give a concise and detailed description of the issue, including photos or screenshots if possible.
