Hi owners of iplay 50 mini pro

I managed to port custom recoveries [TWRP & orangefox] for the device, I think it the first custom recovery for our device, but with a catch.

I am not a developer, I just made this for my personal use and wanted to share it with you as it may help someone.

Before starting you need to know that this is still a "beta" build, it may have some bugs, and IT DOESN'T SUPPORT THE NEW FIRMWARES STARTING FROM DECEMBER FIRMWARE, I found a work around but it may not work for all, see below please.

The major bug in this build is that data decryption is NOT working, this means that you can not access the files in the internal storage, and hence you can not backup and restore data, but there is an easy work around to disable the data encryption to have the maximum benefit from the custom recovery, please read the full thread especially the second post and read about android data encryption. without decrypting your data you can still use TWRP but it will only help in few issues like rooting device and flashing partitions.

So let us Start:

What Doesn't work:

- Data Decryption.

- Vibration.

What works:

Almost everything else including:

- MTP

- Mounting partitions

- Backup partitions

- Flashing to the dynamic partitions (system, vendor & product) yes 😁

- Back up and restore Data (only if you are decrypted)

- Adb and fastbootD modes

Other bugs:

- as I said, this recovery dose not support new firmwares starting from December, recovery will boot but

if you try to boot system it will cause bootloop, which can be fixed by flashing your stock vendor_boot partition. I found a work around for this that worked on my device but I am not sure that it will work for you, see post number 3. So if you already updated your device, it's better to flash stock firmware for November, if you can, or use the work around NB: FLASHING EARLIER FIRMWARES CAUSES HARD BRICK IN SOME DEVICES "Anti-Rollback?".

Installation:

0. Make sure the that you are in supported firmware.

1. you need to unlock bootloader and flashing critical partitions first.

2. Download files from below, put them in your adb folder.

3. boot your device to fastboot mode then send command:

for TWRP:

fastboot flash vendor_boot TWRP-IP50MP-BETA.img

for orangefox:

fastboot flash vendor_boot OFOX-IP50MP-BETA.img

4. to go to recovery:

fastboot reboot recovery

5. enjoy recovery

if you want to go back to the stock recovery you need to flash stock vendor_boot same way:

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
