Hi everyone, I recently bought a Xiaomi Mi box3c and was very disappointed with custom rom and the interface that it came with on it. So surfing the web there are a few tutorials on how to change it and I tried a few but they are not that great either, till finally someone patched the stock android TV Lean back Launcher for it, it took some tinkering but I got it working, this may not be the best way but this is how I did it form the start. This is not my work, I just followed instructions and I have gathered them here. As I am lazy Im not gonna provide pictures for every step but it’s pretty straight forward.
For using some the apps during the process you will need usb mouse cause not every apps supports Mibox remote configuration
As I am a new poster I am not allowed to post any links so change every dot word to an actual . for the links.
1. Turning on the Box and Changing to English
1.1 Download this apk provided by Xiaomi veterans on forum, it’s a shortcut to the stock android setting
drive dot google dot com/open?id=0B16bkj0QSkYnc0k2UUFTU05vSHM 1.2 copy the apk to a normal usb flash drive and connect to mibox and install the apk
1.3 Run it and now you can change the language as in any android device.
2. Downgrading Firmware
All of the root options available for this device are for the older firmware so you need to downgrade the device. (it’s much easier than it sounds.)
2.1 Download the original firmware for MDZ-16-AA from this link: (both are the same thing)
yadi dot sk/d/Yvr1jYflm6GZR androidfilehost dot com/?fid=745425885120695554 2.2 Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file to a formatted usb tick (Fat32). (There should be two files: xiaomi_update and update.zip)
2.3 Put the USB flash drive in your Mi Box and boot in recovery
(How to boot into recovery: Unplug power > press and "hold back + ok" button while plugging the power back in. The remote should be nearby and facing the box. Do not let go of the buttons until it booted in recovery. for some devices its "home + menu" button instead of the previous one.
2.4 the flashing should start and finish automatically. don’t connect the device to WIFI after this step until you have disabled the intelligent update.

3. Rooting the device
I tried almost all of the rooting apps, none of them worked for me but I have seen people insisting that permroot works for them so I put the link for that, using it is pretty straight forward, download, install on device and try to root with it.
but in case that doesn’t work Kingoroot Windows app will definitely work. this is how to root with kingoroot. For this method you need a USB type A --> USB type A cable.
3.1 First download the kingoroot desktop app from their website
3.2 Install the app on your windows desktop
3.3 Go to your mibox device setting (mibox setting not android stock from part 1) and in Security setting and Enable USB/ADB debugging, device will restart for this setting to change.
3.4 connect your mibox to your desktop and wait for the device to be installed and recognized by windows. (If you are using windows 10 it will detect the device by itself)
3.5 Run the kingoroot app on the windows and let it detect the device, as soon as it detects the device root option will appear, click on root option it and wait
3.6 Kingoroot will try to install an app on your mibox, allow it and then this will continue and finish the rooting process.
3.7 Disable USB/ADB debugging, so you can connect USB Flash drives to the device again.
3.8 Check for the root stastus with rootchecker.

4. How to flash TWRP to device
4.1 download the TWRP App from this link:
dl dot twrp dot me/twrpapp/me.twrp.twrpapp-18.apk 4.2 Download the android ROM and TWRP image together from this link:
goo dot gl/q5DGED password : Mibox2015 4.3 open the zip file and copy this image file to your USB Flash drive
MDZ-16-AA-AndroidTV-V1\TWRP-RECOVERY\twrp-mdz-16-aa.img
4.4 Connect the USB flash drive to the box and copy the image to device storage
4.3 Install the TWRP app on the device using the USB flash drive
4.4 Run it and select first two boxes.
4.5 Go to flash TWRP option and wait for app to ask permission from SU, grant permission.
4.6 Select TWRP flash and select flash from image. Select the image that you copied to device storage.
4.7 Boot into recovery (by this time you have root access and it’s better to boot to recovery with one of the reboot apps ex. Quick Reboot)
(Now you have TWRP, but the problem is every time you reboot the box, the stock rom overwrites the TWRP files and it goes back to Default recovery, to solve this we need to replace the Rom itself too)
5. Replacing the Rom
5.1 While still in TWRP page, make a small boot backup just so TWRP makes a folder in storage of your device.
5.2 Reboot the device from TWRP (reboot system)
5.3 Now using a File manager (I used X-plore) copy the Rom folder to the same backup folder that was created by TWRP in your storage.
Copy This folder:
MDZ-16-AA-AndroidTV-V1\TWRP\BACKUPS\11608V180037788\2014-12-31--18-01-42_6.9.7.949
To this folder: (Which is already should be there created by TWRP)
Internal Storage\TWRP\Backups\ (your device’s Serial number)\
5.4 Repeat steps 4.6 & 4.7 again to Flash TWRP again, after booting to TWRP go to restore and select file (2014-12-31--18-01-) to restore, swipe to restore and wait for 10-15 minutes
5.5 After restore is done don’t reboot, go back to TWRP main page, go to Wipe then advanced wipe, select Dalvik, Cache and Data to be wiped. After wipe is done reboot system
5.6 When android system boot is complete, go to setting down below and change the language to English and its done.
I hope it helps

I tried to downgrade my MDZ-16-AA device with the MiBOX3_jurassicpark_gitv_1.3.106.386 file ... but it brings it down only to 1. 3. 114 and not to 1. 3. 106.
Secondly I do not get "ADB Debugging" option. Hence I cannot connect my Mi Box to my laptop.
Can anyone help ?
the correct password is : '@'mibox2015
the quotes are only to avoid mention to xda user "mibo" in xda forum...u don't have to write it in...
mibox v1.5.1
I've troubles to root my mibox, I've the 1.5.1 version.
Can you help me, please ?
Mi box 3C v 1.5.1
Can it possible to do the same for version 1.5.1?
I have Mi box 3C v 1.5.1 and I can't even boot into recovery yet.
Add widevine drm in MDZ-16-AA
To complete your notice, I found a way to launch MyCanal and molotov.tv (not tested for netflix yet).
As you know these apps requires widevine drm.
First download
extractor 4.0 and Xiomi 3S official rom
Then extract update.zip and add in root folder of extractor: system.new.dat + system.transfert.list.file_context
Use Extractor.bat to uncompact system.new
On folder go on system\vendor and copy paste lib folder on USB key.
Does anybody know how to go to recovery mode?
HOLD Back + OK and Home + Option doesn't work for my MDZ-16-AA
the system has been automatically updated yesterday.. :crying:
Thank you so much, I got it installed.
Step 1 can be hard because of the chinese language therefor I used this link:
https://www dot cnx-software dot com/2016/04/12/how-to-change-language-to-english-and-install-apps-remotely-on-xiaomi-mi-box-3-enhanced/
at step 2 I made the mistake that I extracted the update.zip aswell. while I needed to keep it zipped.
I used the app RUFUS to make the usbdrive a FAT32 drive.
at step 3 Kingoroot worked for me, although I needed to restart several times to make the ADB debugging connection work.
at step 4 sending the TWRP files, was a bit of a hurdle. It wwas not possible for me to copt them from the USB stick with ES file manager to the device. I needed to use the USB cable to my computer (ADB off) password: "@mibox2015"
At point 5 I was not able to use my remote or keyboard, I needed to turn off ADB!
At the end allot works, but there is still some bugs:
- MIUI still present. eg. when connecting an usb stick you get a chinese menu. and you are able to get into the old system menu
- unable to get NETFLIX to work
- allot of bloatware, apps I can not disable or delete.
- im unable to disable search by microphone in the UI, which is not supported by the remote of the 16-AA
- im unable to edit the tiles in the homescreen to eg. hide the supersu, market etc. and to put PLEX of KODI more in front
Thanks!!!!

I successfully rooted my mibox 3c (MDZ-16-AA) and installed TWRP app and Android TV.
Now I want to go back to the Xiaomi Original Firmware (1.5.25). I tried to use TWRP and the Update.zip, but it did not work. How can I do it? Many thanks!
---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------
I read from a Chinese forum that the 1.4.32 can also be rooted. As far as I know the Android TV is based on the 1.3.106. Does it make any sense to root the MDZ-16-AA with the firmware 1.4.32 and install the Android TV then?

Hi,
My mobile name is "Walton Primo-GF4" it's Android version Lollipop 5.1 and Chipset "MTK6580" I want to ROOT my phone!! I also tried many kind of ROOT Apps.. Like: Framroot, Kingroot, iRoot, Baidu Root, A-Key Rootmaster etc but all apps didn't worked!!
NOTE: MY PHONE ALSO UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
My Acer tablet runs Android version Lollipop 5.1 with CPU MTK8151. I also tried many kind of root Apps including Framroot, Kingroot, and Kingo Android Root but none of the apps worked. I would welcome any suggestions.
How to install and recowery TWRP ROOT - as I do.
On the drain insertion rekaveri I did not run after the entry androyd lying belly to the top with an exclamation mark.
1) Put Flash Tool 5
1.1) Put the USB driver on the PC (It is advisable to disable the driver signature verification in windows- google to help)
2) Download Recovery - TWRP
3) Fail scatter
------ = 2.3 points lozhish files in a separate folder ---
4) I can not remember without root works or not, but just in case I will write. If you need a backup of your phone (need Flash card gigs 4-8) is placed on the phone titanium backup - you come - Click on the second tab (backups) from the top of the icon sheet daw - choose "Make RK entire user software." move to backup to a different folder, and once again do but to "make all RK custom software and system data" - this just in case.
5) Turn off the phone
6) includes a program Flash Tool
7) specifies the path to the file scatter
8) Should Fail recovery stand daw
9) Put Download only
10) Press Download
11) Connect the power cord to the body.
After excluding telephone (ALWAYS !!!!) Press VOL +, and ON. together, should see boot menu, select the button and press the + recovery - to go to TWRP
In the TWRP - press "backup" in the next window, you put all the jackdaws and snap your top do not remember exactly where, but there you can select the external sd card to record backup. and backup for 10 more minutes.
All of us do not care at all, you can do what you want =))
Then do in TWRP reboot in normal mode (need WI-FI), should appear with an offer to make a root or not to do - disagree. body boot turn on the 'Net WI-FI and start downloading the patch for the root, then as a patch will be downloaded will choose the menu that appears after installation TWRP, body restarts itself do everything.
ALL! Ruth received.

Try downloading latest MTK droid tool and see if it detects your phone. If it detects, then you could just root by clicking root button. If you do not know how to use MTK droid tool, just search for the instruction on XDA. Pretty easy.

I wish it could work for me to?
but ´till now noppes nada nothing,, I'll try to send up some files like the scatter file and custom recovery rom, maybe you´re able to check them out, what is wrong with it.?
Finally ported TWRP to the Medion Lifetab P10505 with working touch.
No guarantees are given, if you damage your tablet, all you do is on your own risk. I have the original ROM from Medion, if you need a full restore.
Please note that the TWRP recovery was not much tested and may be buggy. I didn't test with encryption or the restore process.
Please follow these steps:
1. Download all the files from Mega:
https://mega.nz/#F!pvQCQCxL!dfCHhGkliNSj-Wd3NcRV2ghttp://
2. Unpack all files into the same directory
3. If not done already, install the Intel Driver Package and reboot your PC
4. Unpack the ADB Tools into the directory
5. On your tablet go to your settings and enable USB debugging in the developer options. If you don't see the developer options menu under settings, goto about tablet and tip the build number seven times fast which will reveal the Developer options in the Settings.
6. Copy the file UPDATE-SuperSU.zip to your tablet (via USB or to memory card)
7. Switch off your tablet
8. Press and keep pressed the On/Off button and Volume Down button until you see the bootloader menu. Please press the buttons at the same time.
9. Now connect the table via USB cable to the PC.
10. Open a command window on your PC and change to the above created directory .
11. type the command: fastboot oem unlock (you can lock it again after the whole process if you want)
If this doesn't work goto the below section: Install recovery through flash
12. next type: fastboot flash recovery final_P10505_working_TWRP_3.0.2.0.img
13. Use the volume up or down button until Recovery mode is displayed.
14. Press the On/Off button shortly to start the new TWRP recovery menu. Please be patient until it fully loads. May take a couple of minutes.
15. Now choose install from the menu.
16. Proceed to the folder where you store the UPDATE-SuperSU.zip and select the file and swipe to install.
Note: If you forgot to copy the file to the tablet you can use the windows explorer to copy it to your tablet. There is a new device called Vi10 plus
(as mentioned it is only a port not build from source)
17. The Zip file should install
18. Use the back button to go back to the main menu of the recovery and select reboot and then system.
19. Now you have rooted the device and can create backups in the TWRP recovery.
20. To verify use any root checker tool from play store.
21. Feel free to hit the Thanks button
Install recovery through flash:
If there are any errors you can download the original ROM from Medion.de. You need then the Intel Platform Flash Tool Lite to install the ROM from Scratch (all your data will be lost).
When you run the flash tool, open the file from Medion.de and it will unpack the zip-file in the folder C:\Users\Your account name\.flasher\.download\p1050x-6.0-factory-v2.3
Proceed to the folder Just rename the file final_P10505_working_TWRP_3.0.2.0.img to recovery.img and replace the original file from Medion. Then hit the flash button.
Actually the Intel tool will perform the same command as above.
PS: I read that P10506 is hardware like the same as P10505, so it may work there as well, but no guarantees.
PPS: Credit go to the creators of the TWRP file for the Chuwi Vi10 plus (Highbook), which I don't know their names.
thank you for this, I used it on my P10506, the only difference was thead the command in section 12 has changed to:
fastboot flashing unlock
Cooool!
Did everything on my P10506.
Now waiting untill booting is finished...... CHECK!!
Testing with a root checker........ CHECK!!
That is great!
Thank you!

You're welcome,
but surely room for optimization of this tablet. On mine it happens after quite some that it becomes very laggy.
Hope yours is running better.

But now i'd like to flash a custom rom... Any suggestions?

I haven't seen any custom roms for this tablet, but I actually didn't look much. The problem is that it is nearly impossible without sources to create one.
any new mirrors available? mega zip file offline...

Thanks for the wonderful news! If anyone (Bernie?) could make the files / TWRP image available again, they'd make me and the previous poster even happier
Looking to root and TWRP my familys two P10506s - one still on 5.1 - should I update it to 7.1.1 (last available image from Medion) first?

Somebody here who have the files available and can upload it again?
Would be great.

Hi
I wonder if someone can help me please.
I bought a phone off ebay: Sony Xperia Z3 (D6653). It looks almost brand new with stickers on both the front and back. All the accessories are sealed also.
Howver, it came with a european plug (2-pin). When turned on there is no google services, no google apps, play store.
Everything looks fine apart from no google stuff. It has the old Android 4.4.4 installed.
When I check for update OTA then it says the device already has the latest software on (cannot be true).
I tried to repair the phone via PC through Xperia Companion but it appears that it found a later software as it downloads it (takes a while), but when it enters the preparation stage it comes up with an error message and stops.
The build number is 23.0.A.2.93
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
You eaither should 1. Do a factory reset 2. If that does not work attempt to root the device and then get twrp for your device and then download the open gapps zip file from their official website. (Before installing twrp you should backup your current recovery if you device has one which is all on the official app which you currently can't get on google play but you can use adb for that. Just download the apk file onto your computer and first use cd downloads. (if you download folder is C:/Users/[insert your user here]/Downloads/) (if your starting directiory is anything other than C:/Users/[insert your user here] just use cd C:/Users/[insert your user here]/Downloads/) (if your downloads folder is something different just use cd [insert download location here]) After that you will need to use adb install [insert apk name here] (Tip: Put in a couple of the letters of the apk name and then press tab until you find it) Also you will need to install adb tools for this if you didn't already know you can eaither search for the forum on xda with the .exe file which only installs he adb commands and adb drivers (and maybe even fastboot commands and drivers if you find the one with both) or just get Android SDK which comes with the adb commands. After that finishes just tap on flash recovery. Then it should pop up with a menu asking what device you use. Choose your device. If it does not list your device that means the team hasn't officially released the recovery for your device yet, but on the xda forum for your device you might be able to find someone who made it themselves unofficially for the device. All you will need to do is use adb tools to install a app called Flashify and you will need to transfer the recovery image to the root of your internal storage or where ever you want to put the file. After that just open Flashify and find the setting flash system image then press recovery image. When that is done locate your file via file manager and then tap on it then Flashify will flash the custom twrp recovery. You will also need to transfer the open gapps .zip file yo your internal storage. When you flash your twrp (eaither through the official app or Flashify) reboot your phone. As soon as it shows the boot screen press and hold the button you would usually press to access recovery mode. (If it does not work or you do not know how just use adb again. When your phone boots to the lock screen use adb reboot recovery and then it should reboot and automatically go into the twrp recovery) After that wait for twrp to load, when that happens go to install and locate the open gapps zip file and press it. A message should appear asking if you want to add more zips, just swipe where it says to swipe and then press reboot device. And now you should have Google apps! Also for open gapps make sure you choose the right one according to your version of android. Since you are using android 4.4.4 select the Android 4.4.4 version of open gapps.
Maybe helpful to have some basic information about this great device in one posting:

There are a lot reviews about the device and a thread at MobileRead.
Unbricking in Detail
Unbricking the Device in Detail
Before you step forward I would recommend taking out the Sim-Card
stay offline until the device is debloated
Some general information:
Bricked, but you have an unlocked Boolader
just flash Image in fastboot or if available in twrp
*** All bootloaders of Hisense devices are locked and there's no way to unlock !!! ***
Bricked & you haven't got an unlocked Boolader
TF-Mode (microSD)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82575517&postcount=21
download latest TF-Firmware i.e.

how to enter TF Mode?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82650955&postcount=72
shutdown the device
press both volume buttons and then power button together
release power button and wait 10s until the update screen comes up
alternative1
shutdown device
holding volume +- and power buttons together
alternative2
shutdown while holding volume +-
press+- buttons and then power button
release power button but holding +-
wait 10sec
release +- buttons
Hisense powered by Android
wait 10sec
press power button just short
If this above won't work, then the bootloader is damaged you will need to flash the Firmware in Edl-Mode with Qfil. This always works if not hardbricked!!! So relax

select boot partition and right mouse click
manage Partition Data
we won't backup, we want to restore the boot-image
press Load Image and browse the boot.img from the edl-Firmware above, flash it and wait until it successful is flashed
if there's a Sahara error check again here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77229641
Then flash recover.img and vbmeta.img
After that reboot your phone and it must boot the system.
Then Update in TF-mode to Firmware 6.09.06 (see above)
You successfully restored your bricked phone and updated the Firmware!

Debloating the Device privacy friendly
You restored your Firmware and have the latest Chinese Firmware 6.09.06 without Google Playstore installed
The Sim-Card isn't attached to the device
You're offline, no WiFi
You're rooted with Magisk Manager(but the bootloader is locked)
General Information
There are many ways to debloat the device.
This is only a description how I did this.
It doesn't mean that it's working for you. Please be careful. I am not responsible if oyu brick your phone. If this happened you should easily unbrick it.
So read it carefully and always check if you need the programs or not.
I debloated all system programs which I don't need and install alternatives from F-Droid Store which just need user rights
i.e.
AfWall+ as a Firewall (Root)
Calculator (SimpleMobileTools)
Calendar (SimpleMobileTools)
Clock (SimpleMobileTools)
Contacts (SimpleMobileTools)
Conversations
Dialer (SimpleMobileTools)
Editor
Essential Launcher
F-Droid
FairEmail
Foss Weather
Gallery (SimpleMobileTools)
Net Monitor for checking Net-Traffic
Open Camera
OSMAnd+
PrivacyBrowser
QuickDic
beside that:
TitaniumBackup Donate (Root) Backup & Freezing System-Apps
Total Commander (Root) file manager
VocalizerEx2 TTS
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2566795
I debloated everything that the main features of a smartphone still works:
Phone using a Sim-Card (incl. LTE, depends on your region)
TextMessages (SMS)
Internet data
WiFi (2.4 MHz, no 5Ghz)
Bluetooth
GPS
Doing backups from all system files you want to debloat with Total Commander
create directories with permissions 755
i.e.
system/_keepsave/
system/_keepsave/system
system/_keepsave/system/app
system/_keepsave/system/preload
system/_keepsave/system/priv-app
system/_keepsave/system/vendor
system/_keepsave/system/vendor/app
system/_keepsave/system/vendor/overlay
Then backup all directories to the keepsave dirs
system/app
system/preload
system/priv-app
system/vendor
system/vendor/app
system/vendor/overlay
Then setup the system settings
I disabled everything I don't need (location only Gps, automatic System Updates/Accounts, App shadow,...)
setting up Afwall to your needs
disabling captive portal login with some alternative url
disabling ipv6 in Afwall if you don't need it
Then you can try freezing system apps with Titanium Backup
Or just delete all the bloat you don't need.
I deleted in TotalCommander
system/preload
system/vendor/app
system/vendor/overlay
in system/app are only:
Code:
/system/app/CertInstaller don't remove
/system/app/CtRoamingSettings don't remove / freeze & use only if roaming

/system/priv-app/Vision_Settings don't remove
/system/priv-app/Vision_SystemUI don't remove
/system/priv-app/Vision_Telecom don't remove
After successful debloating the system to your needs, test with Afwall log and Net Monitor if there are outgoing system apps calling home
if so freeze or delete them or let Afwall just block them.
This setup works 100% for my needs, but that doesn't mean it works in the same way for you. Please be careful. I am not responsible if oyu brick your phone. If this happened you should easily unbrick it (see above).
Have fun with a debloated chinese Firmware

Ahhh... Nope. I only got my hands into the A5C stock as it is what i got.
Hi, I'm leaving a mirror link for all Hisense A5 stuff that may be helpful in the future when original links will be dead. As a bonus there are offline OTA zip files for L1657.6.10.04.00, L1657.6.11.01.00 and L1657.6.12.01.00. When Software update downloads OTA it saves in /data/media/
Remember that OTA updates need to go in order like L1657.6.09.06.00 -> L1657.6.10.04.00 -> L1657.6.11.01.00 -> L1657.6.12.01.00. DO NOT UPGRADE from L1657.6.09.06.00 to L1657.6.12.01.00 directly.
OTA manual install:
0. Prepare at least 2 GB SD card and format it as FAT32
1. Rename desired OTA file to update.zip
2. Copy update.zip to the root of the SD card and after that insert the card into the phone
3. Go into recovery mode on the phone (I used ADB for that, if you want you can use key combination) 4. Connect it to pc via ADB (I'm assuming that you enabled USB debugging in developer options after clicking on kernel version 8 times in phone info)
4. Run `adb devices` and make sure that you allowed debugging on the phone
5. Run `adb reboot recovery` to boot into recovery mode
6. You will see 2 options on the screen - Choose 1st one
7. Now you will see 3 options - Choose 3rd
8. Now there will be 2 options - Choose 1st
9. Phone should update and reboot

Unlocking Boorloder-a (required for flashing the phone and everything connected with it): 1. Go to settings -> system -> About phone -> Build number (7 clicks) (Congratulations !!!! You are a developer!) < - About phone -> For developers: Enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking. 2. We connect the phone to the computer and install the ADB usb driver (on the Internet), a connection request should appear on the phone, you need to allow it. 3. Extract files from the N20_utils.rar archive (10.87 MB) (preferably not very far, the root of the disk or the created folder N20 will be there). Go to the Unlocked Bootloader folder and run the bat file, the phone will reboot and display the request "unlock? Yes / no" rocker up - yes / rocker down - no. Naturally, you need to press the volume up, otherwise there were so many actions)) 4. Congratulations! Now, with each reboot, you will have an Orange state (5-second inscription), and the ability to do whatever you want with your phone. II. We sew! 1. For the lazy (who value their time). Download the SP Flash tool (Internet), from the N20_utils.rar archive (10.87 MB) select MT6763_Android_scatter and boot_magisk_20 files for the boot partition, lk_pached for lk, etc. you can even twrp instead of native recovery. Turn off the phone, connect it to the computer and click Download in the SP Flash programs. After the OK circle appears, disconnect and reconnect the cable (easier than a forced reboot). We turn on the phone and put the magisk manager (internet). Congratulations!!! You have a root and no Orange State label! 2. Who wants more and himself: phone to computer -> go to the Unlocked Bootloader folder -> run CMD -> write "fastboot flash recovery" put a space and move the TWRP file with the mouse to the window (fast path to the file) and press ENTER -> reboot the phone to fastboot. Congratulations!!! you have TWRP. Boot into TWRP, skip the encrypted DATE message, go to formatting and format the DATE. Go to mount and connect MTP. A phone will appear on my computer, we drop the files DisableForceEncryption_Treble (disable date encryption), orange_state_disabler_v0.3 (remove orange_state) and magisk.zip (internet) into the memory section. In TWRP, click install all this and rejoice! 3. Who has nothing to do at all: go to the forum thread Development and porting of GSI firmware (Post bullik01 # 71222655) and try what catches your eye. Not all are loaded, but .... (although we do not seem to have an A / B structure, but only "arm64 A / B" were launched) PS: look for additional information here on the forum and for brotherly devices UMiDIGI A5 Pro - Firmware ( Post Xakep1993 # 86772223) Attached files recovery-TWRP_3.3-20191015-1714.img (22.81 MB) DisableForceEncryption_Treble.zip (4.24 MB)

Hi, were you by any chance able to get a copy of these files ,Please upload if posssible
The original links are broken and the internet seemed to wipe all traces out, I'm looking for the N20_utils and possibly the Disable force encryption one
Good day
Had the same problem, (English not so good but I know you'll understand). What I did was just installing Corvus OS rom, the 11th version. It's been quite a while since i installed it.
Tried Lineage 18.1 and adding the smallest gapps available, but everytime i get code error 1. I guess it was the twrp 3.3 version i used cause some roms requer the latest TWRP versions. The lineage is installing just right nd can reboot to system with no hiccups.
None of Android 12 gsi versions has ever been able to installed. Cause when i try to install, i get the error of "file too large for the target partition. Tried everything from the net to increase the system partition to at-least 3gig. No success.....
Is anyone who can help to install android 12 even beta version will be ok for my N20 Doogee??
Thanx

The file is in the forum. But to make your life easier here are the link.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18B-srDVia_H4aDt7uvCDUxg2e4R5kVVY?usp=sharing The file is of type .exe and that extracts when you run on the pc, the problem is that I was suspicious about the virus so I threw the file in the total virus (if you don't know what it is, just search) and 6 programs pointed it out as malware but many others didn't find anything including karpersky and bit defender, there to make sure the files were there i renown they from .exe to .zip and I looked and the files really were there but as I don't want to take the risk I didn't extract and I didn't even try anything. The file that fix the encryption are inside doogee n20.exe, the guy said it will be in .exe and when you run it extracts the file in the C folder of the computer I recommend you to rename it from .exe to .zip because if the file have a virus you can screw your pc when running
