First of all I would thank Crowds he is the best reference that I've to return in case of any problem I face. (He doesn't sleep - any time I ask he immediately supports)
I bought Lenovo K910 and I've managed successfully to install new ROM "VIBEUI_v2.0_1443" and Gapps with Crowds support.
I advised two of my friends to buy this good and cheap phone. For one of them I installed the latest rom successfully. But with the other I had a big problem The phone stuck on Lenovo Logo.
I was trying to install TWRP 2.7.0.0 batch before installing my new ROM, but during installation and after the phone rebooting the batch command screen shows <Waiting for Device> and the phone is stuck on logo screen.
I tried to connect the phone to PC many times, but PC doesn't recognize the phone. When I try to turn off the phone by pressing the power buttons, the phone restart on logo screen like the shown in this video.
I've read in many site that I have to do the following:
Download and install "minimal adb and fastboot"
Just type on the command line without pressing Enter:
Code:
[COLOR="Blue"][B][I]fastboot [COLOR="Plum"][STRIKE]boot[/STRIKE][/COLOR] recovery.img[/I][/B][/COLOR]
you should place your recovery image file in "minimal adb and fastboot" directory
The phone should be disconnected from computer and completely off (press the Power button for 10 seconds - in my case the phone is restarting)
Press and hold both volume buttons, then connect the cable to the PC.
Once the phone vibrate, press Enter to execute the recovery command line
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In my case when I press and hold power button the phone is restarting on logo screen so I have to wait for battery consumption
I tried many times with TWRP images but it failed...
I tried with CWM image and it succeeded to load, but I don't have otg cable to load recovery or ROM from usb storage (The problem was in installing TWRP and my ROM should has no problem)
I want to flash TWRP on phone not only loading by "minimal adb and fastboot".
I decided to flash TWRP 2.7.1.2 batch through modifying the batch file. I just used fastboot commands
Code:
[COLOR="blue"][I]fastboot oem device-info
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem device-info
fastboot [COLOR="Red"][U][B]flash[/B][/U][/COLOR] recovery data/recovery.img
fastboot flash aboot data/lock/emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm data/lock/rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 data/lock/sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi data/lock/sdi.mbn
fastboot flash tz data/lock/tz.mbn
fastboot reboot[/I][/COLOR]
Finally I succeeded to install Recovery and phone works well in the new recovery mode and the system mode that I've not update it yet
I want to share you the problem solution in brief:
Download and extract this file "flashrec TWRP v2.7.1.2" from here
Just select without executing "flashrec_Modified.bat" file from the extracted files.
The phone should be disconnected from computer and completely off (press the Power button for 10 seconds or wait for the battery to be almost empty)
Press and hold both volume buttons, then connect the cable to the PC.
Once the phone vibrate, press Enter to execute the recovery batch file
and as me the phone start the recovery mode in TWRP and can be rebooted in system without any problem
i must extract "flashrec TWRP v2.7.1.2 this file on phone or where? can u explain a

You need to carefully follow each steps in the method - if you short that magic pin and then connect the USB cable (with battery disconnected), your computer will report seeing the device at either COM port 9008 or 9006. Then you can download the factory image to revive the phone. Of course you need to have the right device driver installed. Like I said, as long as the hardware is not broken, this procedure will succeed for sure.
I love you man!

Hello
I think I've bricked my P760. When i want to run my phone it stuck on LG logo and can't boot to OS. Everything was fine but after installing fix to camera i could boot to OS my phone once and after reboot i can't boot to OS anymore. My phone has root, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and custom ROM. I don't have acces to recovery. I have only acces to bootloader mode with fastboot (VOL+ + HOME + POWER). Then i have a note "Welcome to LG Fastboot Mode ". My computer detects it and automatically installs drivers (Fastboot interface (Google USB ID). But the problem is that in Device Manager it all time blinks. It's connected and immediately dissconects. I'm using original USB cable from LG charger. When i'm trying to use cmd in fastboot & adb files it's waiting for device all the time.
I don't know what I should do next :C
Pls help guys

Hey there,
i was wondering if anyone got an idea how to get root access / TWRP working on a Doogee T6 Pro ?
I don't really find anything online that seems to be working and of course most one-click root tools dont work for China phones.
Anyone got any idea ? The official forums look empty as well.
It looks good

Some useful tips for rooting MAZE Alpha, perhaps will help you : MAZE Alpha root
Use the method I to patch your boot.img with Magisk-v14 and flash the result image, it must works
Here is the HowTo, have done it 3 times yet:
First, get the correct TWRP Version for Doogee T6Pro ( i dont remember where i got it, i can upload it somewhere if someone have a good location) and the SuperSu Zip.
Then, activate the Developer Options in the Device Settings and Activate the OEM Unlock and USB Debugging in there.
The next Step is to Boot the Device in Fastboot mode. you can either do it by USB with the Terminal Command: "adb reboot bootloader" or you can turn the device of and then reboot it by pressing the Volume Up Button and the Power Button simultanously (quite difficult, didnt Work every Time). You will get to a menue with 3 options: Boot to Recovery, Fastboot and Normal. Switch through these Options with the Volume Up Button and Select it with the Volume Down. Go To the Fastboot Option and Select it.
In Fastboot Mode, plug in the device to an computer and type the terminal command "fastboot oem unlock" (in windows, you have to install the fastboot tools. i dont remember that i had to install them in ubuntu... im not sure). this will wipe the whole data of the device. its important to reboot the device afterwards normaly. otherwise it could happen that you get stuck in an bootloop later ( happend twice to me ) this normal system boot will last much longer then normal, so get a coffee or tea
the next step is do get to fastboot mode again and then send from your computer the command: "fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery-filename.img". this will flash the recovery.img on the recovery partition.
than go to the bootloadermenue and this time you dont choose fastboot but the recovery option. this will start TWRP
while TWRP is running, you can copy the SuperSU zip to the device with Nautilus or in windows systems with windows explorer. then select "Install" in TWRP and select the SuperSU.zip.
After the installation, reboot to normal system and you are ready with rooting!
if something goes wrong, it can happen that booting to normal system will get you stuck in an bootloop. the last time i could repair the system by booting into recovery (TWRP) and select the Wipe menue and there the Format option. the other time i downloaded the original system from Doogee and flashed all partitions. im not sure if that was necessary.... but who knows :fingers-crossed:
1-step
in order to root these qilive devices you will need...
magisk manager apk v5.6.4
stock boot.img file
working ADB to unlock oem and flash
2-step
lets get to it
place the magisk.apk and the stock boot.img
in the internal memory of your phone (downloads)
if you like to keep stuff organized :good:
3-step
follow the vídeo tutorial and use magisk manager
to patch your stock boot.img it will output a new
boot.img that includes magisk Root (patched_boot.img)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF4_hnKgjFA
ps: major ty to hovatek team for this great tutorial
step-4 use Google drive or usb OTG to get the patched_
boot.img to your PC and place it in the ADB folder
once you have oem(bootloader) unlocked just
rename the patched_boot.img to boot.img
step-5
unlock oem, these qilive devices wont unlock
the bootloader even if you enable it in DEV options
enable USB debug in dev options
you will need to use ADB commands
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock
(MAJOR WARNING the fastboot
oem unlock will wipe/reset/factoryreset/delete your data)
after you give the command small letters will appear
on the phone screen(yes or no) hard to read dont be hasty plz
use VOLUME+ to select and VOLUME - to confirm
note: when my phone ended the unlock it whent back to
that black screen where you choose fastboot-recovery-restart
and was stuck there, side keys did nothing if this happens
just long press the power key for 10 sec it will shutdown
then press power again to turn on
first boot after unlock will take longer then normal dont freakout
after you unlock small letters will appear during boot up saying the device
is not safe unlocked ,you can later use ( fastboot oem lock )
step-6
flash the patched boot.img with ADB
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
finished/ok
command- fastboot reboot
and voila you should now have magisk
installed in the app drawer, open it!!
step-7 run the install one final time from the
magisk manager and install magisk V16 using
recomended option it will verify/patch the boot image
Do NOT select the AVB 2.0 BOX it will bootloop the phone
and your done, enjoy your qilive rooted phone.
from this point on you can use the fastboot
command- fastboot oem lock
to remove the letters in boot up about the
device not safe unlocked
WARNING oem lock
will WIPE/FACTORY RESET again (god damn it!!)
ps: i had to install twice in a row,major pain in the ....
Repeat step 7 after Wipe/Reset
here is the stock boot for 2 qilive models
you can get the stock firmware for any qilive
at this site www.doc-doapi.com/EM/qilive/smartph...te_3m-fdd-cs_mul_20170818-110645_songlixin_PC
and get the recovery or boot from the unpacked firmware file
ps:my phone is the Q8SIN4GP AND ITS WORKING FINE
A VERY SPECIAL TY to topjohnwu (magisk creator), this man is nothing
short of a God damn genius!! , and if you can donate to him.
hope this helps other qilive users to root:highfive:
quick note on the qilive models, they have two model names
the cliente name in my case Q8SIN4GP
and the factory name in my model its 882912
in order to download the right firmware for your model
you need the factory model witch is what appears in the qilive
site above, it will be in the back of the phone or the original
box on a sticker just bellow the bar code, full model exempl
:Q8SIN4GP/882912 my firmware serves several models,
these Q8 models all start with 88xxxx WARNING
dont try this using the wrong firmware/boot file or you will DAMAGE your phone
Help with BOOTLOOP problems, if you find your self stuck in a bootloop
the phone wont go past the qilive logo and just stays there, dont freak out
you will loose your data but there is a way out
just keep pressing power + Volume up until a black screen with 3 options appears
when it does let go, use Volume + to select option and Volume - to confirm
select Fastboot or alternative select recovery and then select reboot to bootloader
both option will place your phone in Fastboot mode, once in fastboot mode
connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands to fix/bootloop
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock (skip this if you use phone unlocked)
a confirm action option appears on the phones screen
use Volume up to say YES / or Volume Down to say NO
Warning oem unlock will WIPE/Factory reset your phone
once it finishes the phone will be stuck on the
Recovery/fastboot/restart screen just long press the power key
until the phone shuts down
start the phone again using Power + Volume up when the black
screen with the 3 options come up, let go and use Volume up to
select Fastboot mode and confirm using Volume Down
Once in fastboot connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands
command- fastboot devices
serial apears
Here you will flash the magisk patched_boot.img
the same image you used to root your phone
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
it will say finished-ok (or similar)
command- fastboot reboot
the boot up time will be longer than normal
but the phone should now complete the boot
and present the inicial setup screen, select language
enter your mail, the usual bla bla...
any way at this point just repeat step 7
to get root running again

hi phonedriller,
...well, i must have been an unlucky fisherman
an app i installed ended up giving me a soft brick (bootloop between qilive icon opening screen - btw still with the "warning" of "device is unsafe etc", i.e. oem still open - and black screen, qilive opening screen etcetcetc)
have cleaned cache; went for factory reset; etc
BUT: am presently stuck when trying to go via ADB (which used to work perfectly before) that somehow the usb drivers don't want to get installed properly. as a consequence, desktop cannot see devices.
and i cannot, for the sake of me, remember how i had succeeded before installing usb drivers.
could you please help?
thx

PS: adb will not work if the phone is not booting to the OS
it will work if you manualy place the phone in fastboot AKA bootloader
MODE ,you see if it does not boot to OS then usb service is not working
use power + Volume up to enter the black menu
use the Volume up to select fastboot(bootloader) volume - to confirm
connect the phone to your PC
flash the boot.img, the same boot.img used to root (patched by magisk)
to see is adb is ok just run - fastboot devices
if a serial is presented then all other stuff should work
step 1 - reflash the boot img
step 2 - after the flash finishes - fastboot oem lock
message on the phone screen, confirm yes to lock
OEM
step 3- press power until it turns off
it should now complete the start up (boot)
if not working this method let me now
you can still flash the full factory firmware
using SP Flash Tool v5.17xx

dearphonedriller,
thank you so much for your speedy help.
followed the steps given by you. all is well, as you predicted, until step 3.
however:
phone (now without the "orange state" message, i.e. oem locked) still bootloops and short of ADB "fastboot devices" the desktop doesn't see the phone (and driver installation continues to fail), as per your PS (thanks!) i guess flashing the full factory firmware ("RC-mt6737...zip" quoted by you in your very first post) is next.
would you please point me to a basic-for-noobs tutorial or instruct me on the step-by-step commands/procedures using this zip file?!

dearphonedriller,
thank you so much for your speedy help.
followed the steps given by you. all is well, as you predicted, until step 3.
however:
phone (now without the "orange state" message, i.e. oem locked) still bootloops and short of ADB "fastboot devices" the desktop doesn't see the phone (and driver installation continues to fail), as per your PS (thanks!) i guess flashing the full factory firmware ("RC-mt6737...zip" quoted by you in your very first post) is next.
would you please point me to a basic-for-noobs tutorial or instruct me on the step-by-step commands/procedures using this zip file?!
HUGE thanks

thank you, phonedriller
everything worked perfectly via SPFlash Tool.
and, referring back to our above questions re the possibility of getting TWRP onto the phones, a developer friend of mine writes me this:
>try to flash TWRP:
>Download following files from this link:
>https://mega.nz/#F!qZIgnJRK!5apBfYo1je0ytg-wmA6JMQ
>- Odin3 v3.12.3 (Complete folder)
>- twrp-3.2.1-0-Q8S55IN4G2-20180318.tar
>1. Start your Phone into download mode
>2. Start Odin (Odin3 v3.12.3\Odin3.exe)
>3. Click on Options and unmark Auto Reboot
>4. Click AP and select twrp-3.2.1-0-Q8S55IN4G2-20180318.tar
>5. Press Start and wait until finished (Reset or OK!)
>6. Restart your phone immediatly to recovery mode
>7. In TWRP Recovery click on mount
>8. Set the checkbox checked at system (that system is mounted)
>9. go back and click on advanced
>10. Open file manager
>11. navigate to system/build.prop and click on build.prop
>12. Click on chmod
>13. type: 0644 and hit the accept button on screen or at the virtual
>keyboard on your phone
>14. restart your phone
i haven't tried this, but am wondering whether it might seem "reasonably possible" when reading through it.
thanks

Do you perhaps have link to Q8S5IN4GP stock rorm? Mine came with malware installed on it. I want to see if those were chinese who preinstalled or or was it decided by Auchan.

On my phone it came from factory and on the firmware file on 2 models , however only kasperky complains about malware on an system app called Helper bla bla bla i think its a false positive(i think) as no other antivirus or playstore ever found anything,but hey better investigate and be safe then sry right :good: maybe a ported cyanogen rom, ive look at a few rom port tutorials but my knowhow is limited + dont even have a working twrp yet, avg/avast/malwarebytes and a few others ,only kaspersky detects malware.

I had issues with adds being displayed at home screen and I was not able to close them. I had to use NetGuard to find that FOTA talks to 'adsup' and it is a known malware provider. I learned that some of the system apps try to talk with Alibaba servers and AdOppo (whatever it's called). Kaspersky might not be wrong, actually.
I'm trying to download stock firmware, but I don't know the file name. The website with it is locked, so unless I know exactly what I need, I cannot download it.

I guess the best thing would be a lineage or cyanogen ported rom(clean),ps i flashed the phone 2 times because of popups/adds and battery drain,however im aware that having root and installing tones of crasy stuff can fu.. Up any phone cheap or flagship,thus the firmware flashes,i discovered that having malwarebytes(premium)free for 30days keeps the phone clean and working fine,it seems that one is forced to buy from a main stream brand or risk this kind of thing,little to no support,no updates at all,bad security,the problem is certain apps if removed resoult in boot loop like this Helper app

Ps use root + apps2sd or titaniumbackup to stop/disable the bad apps and replace them with playS app,not possible on all apps of course

I'm thinking about Android 8.1 with it's Treble project. I might not be knowledgable enought to compile and flash it, though.

Flashing is super easy use spflashtools or. Odin compiling a Rom is not , were you able to get the original firmware? You will need the original firware to get the boot and partition info from what i read so far
Unfortunately not. I will ask at the shop where I bought it how to contact tech. It should be freely available. I don't understand why Qilive restricted access to firmware.
I'll post when I learn anything.
Well, you can download the firmware if you know the file name. The bad news is, it seems the stock firmware has malware preinstalled. If there is anyone who could help confirm it. I have the ROM, and I can upload it to Google Drive if needed.
Hi all,
I'm coming back to a question lingering since the very first post here and mentioned again in post #9:
Is there a successful way to install TWRP on this Qilive model?
Re this topic:
- has anybody tried/has anybody been successful with the procedure described in post #9?
and
- has anybody seen the following TWRP builders' version (do an in-page search on Q8S55IN4G2)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/fr/downloads/twrp/
with the download belonging to it
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657591798
???
any successful installations to report???
Wouldn't THAT be great!!??
thanks
