Can I just delete APKs from an .img and then flash it?
I've got an Onda V96 3G tablet - a MediaTek 6582 based device. By default it comes with a lot of "interesting" APKs preinstalled - Chinese app stores etc.
I've downloaded (and flashed) the original firmware - which also contains the bloatware.
I've mounted the filesytem and can see an "app" folder with a bunch of APK and ODEX files.
Is it safe for me to delete the bloatware from the .img file, repack it, and then flash it onto my tablet? I'm using the SP Flash tool for Linux if that makes a difference. Thanks
Devs,
Could any one dev help me to root and install custom recovery for my coolpad mega 3. It has MT 6737 chip android 6.0.
I would also like the to know it. There's no option to activate Root access in Developer menu directly in the phone. So probably the way is only via USB.
There is no method to root coolpad mega 3 with twrp or any custom recovery.
Hi friend, i have also coolpad mega 3 and i am writing this in my rooted coolpad device. So the question is , how i got root access. Actually rooting coolpad mega 3 was like winning god for me but fortunately i became sucessful in rooting this bloody device.
XDA community doesn't helped me in rooting my COOLPAD MEGA 3. I have rooted it with my own idea and brain.
So the steps are:
1. Download magisk manager latest version and install it in your coolpad mega 3.
2. Download stock firmware of your device.
3. Download vcom drivers and YDGP TOOL With SP FLASH TOOL. Remember all should be of latest version.
4.Install vcom drivers and after that extract your firmware in pc. It will be in the form of .CPB file.
5.Install YDGP TOOL and remember its installation folder. Now launch YDGP tool and on main screen click on select firmware then locate your firmware in pc then choose it. It will start verifying .CPB file and after that it will decompress .CPB file in the installation folder of YDGP TOOL under download folder.
6. Copy your boot.img from YDGP download folder to your coolpad phone storage. Then open magisk manager app and click on install ,then select the boot.img located to the place where you have copied it in phone storage. Click on select and then wait for the process. After that rename and save the patched boot.img to your phone storage. Now open pc and copy patched boot.img from phone storage to pc.
7.Now install and launch SP flash tool and login as developer. Switch of your Coolpad Mega 3.
8.Before above step you have to make a new folder in your pc which will contain scatter file with boot.img. Make a new folder in pc and name it coolpad3 . Go to YDGP INSTALLATION folder and open Download folder .IN Download folder open COOLPAD3053I folder. There will be a file named MtScatter.Txt.Copy it to coolpad3 folder. Also copy the patched boot.img to coolpad3.
Remember that scatter file and boot.img should be in same folder.
9.Follow step 7 and after that connect your switched off coolpadmega 3 to pc with the help of a good branded USB CABLE. Click on select scatter file in SP flashtool then it will load it and after that it will show you a menu having boot with a tick sign. Do not tick any other option. After that click on download button. If you are confused then you can search on google how to flash mediatek phones with SP flash tool.
10.It will flash boot.img patched with magisk to your phone. CONGRATS AFTER REBOOTING YOUR DEVICE YOU WILL HAVE A ROOTED COOLPAD MEGA 3.
YOU CAN CHECK IT BY MAGISK MANAGER THAT YOU HAVE INSTALLED FOR PATCHING BOOT.IMG .IF
both the option show install with a green tick in magisk manager that means your phone have been rooted.????
You can also check root status by installing rootchecker from playstore.
REMemBER THIS METHOD WILL WORK 100%.:good:

CoolPadToolkit can be helpful to make root partly.
I needed to uninstall a lot of bundled apps so I used Root method by Magisk integrated in CoolpadToolkit.
Then I used KingRoot to delete apps.

I have BSNL Penta Intel Tab WS704x Android 5.1.1 .I downloaded its firmware.I want to modify its flash file which are in .fls format
Can anyone tell me how to open or modify .fls flash files so that I can create twrp for my smartphone.

i just want to get stock recovery and root with magisk.
Miracle box 2.88 and above
you can extract ofp to scatter format if you have Miracle box using miracle thunder v2.88 and more .. in that there is an option to exctract ofp . after that you will get all the files like preloader boot recovery system etc ..
I downloaded the stock rom for a Motorola device (E4 Plus) and know how to flash it with SP Flash Tool it but I'm curious as to how I could mount/extract the .img files to see what's inside and try modifications.
Trying to mount the .img files as ext4 on Linux fails and running simg2img also fails. Any ideas?
Another thing I'm wondering is if there's a way to convert the scatter files to a flashable rom (zip file)? and why are the scatter files so large compared to "normal" flashable roms?
