First things first, let me give credit where credit is due!
ZergRush - For creating his script to root the echo; and also giving Saridnour the Tools to create is "Kyocera Echo 1-Click" root method.
Saridnour - For his committed work to Hear the Echo (Our Kyocera Echo Website) and creating the recovery image from scratch pretty much!
KyoceraEchoHax - For Advertising the site and helping us to obtain over 200 members in one month (and growing)
Me - For bringing all these random people together
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, now to the good stuff
Here is Saridnour's OneClick Root for the Kyocera EchoHERE
The main problem poeple have is the fact that they use USB tethering! YOUR TETHERING MUST BE OFF or this will not work. tethering uses the ADB servers making it unusable while it is active. TURN TETHER OFF!!
Instructions from Saridnour:
Tool will do it all.. You just need to install the Kyocera Echo drivers from their site (links on the tool)
Let me know if you find issue or bugs. I did this pretty quick and hacked out most of it sitting at TacoTime for dinner last night. lol. The FC's drove me nuts until today and think this should be stable for everyone now. No FC's for me in some time. I did the online update as well without issues, but don't reccomend it just yet although the tool can revert you right back if need be.
Usage:
1- Extract files to your computer, open it, and click Rootme.
Thats about it. Follow the steps and you should be golden. And yes.. These will be the driods you were looking for!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is Saridnour FULLY FUNCTIONAL recovery image, it has been tested by multiple people and this is the official release! you can get it HERE
Post from Saridnour on the Original Site:
Well at long last, the Recovery Image is now complete and ready for public Release!
.
Thanks to all the donators, beta testers and those who helped this along the way. I will update this as needed to help the install process and give thanks where needed. I was very rushed getting this up as I wanted it out on Halloween.. the ultimate echo treat!! But we all know what happens when we rush..
BUT the file was done and tested prior to so its just the presentation that was rushed
.
A BIG thank you to Na’ven Enigma for sharing some of her websites bandwidth and hosting the files. She wanted to make sure everyone was able to get instant access to the recovery. Please give her a BIG thank you!
.
.
Only known issue is that you cannot mount the device as a usb drive to copy files. This is a common issue with CWM and should have little to no impact as our echo has removable Micro SD cards.
.
.
To install:
-Follow the directions given in the script (IE: Install the drivers from Kyocera for the Echo, Install the driver that is launched from the script (it's not part of the standard echo drivers)
.
- Make sure it is booted to the os and that debug is turned on: (phone settings -> applications -> development -> USB debugging)
.
- Extract the archive to a folder (IE : the Desktop of your computer)
.
- Run the script “SAR_Recovery.bat” (From within the folder noted above ON YOUR PC)
.
- Follow the prompts given, read what it is asking/telling you and take that action (very short and simple)
.
- Exit from the script and you should be done with the upgrade.
.
- Install from the marketplace “Quick Boot” (free) to allow you to boot into recovery as there are no hardware keys known at this time. You can also use ADB if you can’t access the OS, just send this command: ADB reboot recovery.
.
- Backup your device, Find a rom and have FUN!'
.
.
If you can't boot the OS prior to install:
If you can only see the Kyocera bootloader screen and not boot the OS you need to do this another way. Its still easy and you will just need to follows the steps above up to running the script and install the included driver (or from withint the folder you extracted, install the driver) and then connect your device in bootloader mode (Kyocera screen with yellow light on) and from the pc, ope a command prompt, change to the directory that you extraced the files and type this command " Fastboot devices" it should return ??? meaning it can see your device. IF NOT YOU DO NOT HAVE the drivers loaded, are not in bootloader mode, or your usb is not connected [Bad canle/port/etc]). Once it can see your device type "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it will install CWM. You will then need to run "fastboot boot recovery.img" to boot into recovery. From there you can install your new rom from HTE.
.
.
Note: The whole process takes less than 5 min. If it hangs, has an issue or you are unsure what it did. Give it another couple minutes, pull the plug, reboot and try again. You can not hurt your phone running this as if the install fails or currupts the recovery image, you only need to reboot to the os and the bootloader to correct the issue and this is what this script does to begin with
.
Don’t forget to donate if you find this of use!
.
Enjoy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I will ask you all a favor.
So in the last month or so our site (Hear the Echo) has gone from 20 members in the first week to 200+ 3 weeks later. This is great and horrible at the same time. Our bandwidth cannot support 200 people (it wasn't expected to grow so fast). So I please ask you all to donate to HTE and Saridnour. I ask for HTE because we need to expand our Bandwidth because the site has had a minimum of 2-8 members joining DAILY and we cannot hold on much longer (we have about 5 MB left until the site shuts down for the rest of this week, the bandwidth restarts at the beginning of the next month). So PLEASE donate to us. Also, I say Saridnour because I would not be posting right now if it wasnt for his committment and effort for the site. Thank you Saridnour SO MUCH MAN!
Thanks for reading everyone,
Ognimnella (AKA BFG SgtRecon on HTE)

My brother had root with Android 2.2 (z4root method), but the 2.3.4 update caused his phone to not boot up and he got a replacement. Knowing what I know now, I could of used fastboot to flash the recovery.img...
So I'm gonna go try this! Instead of using "Saridnours" method, couldn't we just use this?

STill i had hopes of using it as a Donor Reciever but no luck with Paid Cdma . Hope SOme developers grap these sweet phones .
Android Sooner Single Fastboot Interface wrong platform??
I get "Android Sooner Single Fastboot Interface is the wrong driver for this platform" So what is the right one for the echo. Also when i try fastboot devices I don't get the ??? just another blank space. My device shows up as "Unidentified device or unknown device too. I feel this is the last thing preventing me from un-bricking my phone so if anybody has any can help me i would greatly appreciate it.
I used SAR recovery and i get all the way to the point where I'm in bootloader mode, the amber light is on, and I'm waiting on devices. So I'm out of ideas.

HOW TO ROOT YOUR HTC EVO
DO NOT USE A RUU FROM SPRINT IF U WANNA MAINTAIN ROOT. WAIT FOR ME OR SOMEONE HERE TO MAKE A ROOT UPDATE.ZIP.
Major thanx for those who helped:
keishou (for the rooted build. without it none of this would be possible)
maejrep (for testing and modding a recovery for the EVO)
Flipz (for hosting the files)
Paul (for his recovery work on the desire and legend)
Amon_RA (for his recovery source on github)
WHAT THIS ROOT METHOD WILL DO:
- wipe all of your data so brace for that. backup or what not
- Allow you to flash custom roms
- Boot into a custom recovery
- Write to system, boot and recovery partitions through recovery
WHAT THIS ROOT METHOD SADLY WONT ENABLE YOU TO DO:
- Write to system or recovery while in android
- Flash a custom recovery that can be booted into by holding vol down and powering on
THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
download files below:
- PC36IMG.zip
- evorecovery
INSTUCTIONS FOR ROOTING:
- Put the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard
Code:
adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard
- Power off the phone
- Hold volume down while powering the phone on. continue to hold volume down until you see the WHITE bootloader screen.
- After a few seconds it will begin to checking for files, and find PC36IMG.zip. while its doing this it will show a blue progress bar while its checking. (this takes 30 - 60 seconds to finish)
- It will then list all the images in the zip and ask you if want to flash. SAY YES
- When its finished it will ask you if you would like to reboot. AGAIN... SAY YES
- At this point it will boot into a rooted rom.
- YOU ARE NOW ROOT!!!
- rename the PC36IMG.zip on your sdcard:
- plug your phone into a usb port on your desktop and do:
Code:
adb shell mv /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/root-PC36IMG.zip
RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS:
- Extract the evorecovery.zip to your desktop
- plug your phone into a usb port on your desktop
- In a shell:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
- this will reboot your EVO into recovery mode. at this point turn your attention to the directory u extracted the evorecovery.zip to.
Code:
For Windows XP ~~> Run recovery-windows.bat
For Vista and Windows 7 do it as Admin
- in a shell do:
Code:
For Linux ~~> ./recovery-linux.sh
- at this point turn your attention to the phone and navigate to create a Nandriod Backup. you can now flash custom roms, write, and make changes to system.
- to flash a custom rom put the rom on the root of your sdcard. wipe data, dalvic cache and chose the option to flash update.zip from sdcard.
RECOVERY NAVIGATION:
-
Code:
Volume up/down moves through the list and Power selects.
RECOVERY SOURCE:
- http://github.com/jhansche/amonra_bootable_recovery/tree/supersonic
Code:
git clone git://github.com/jhansche/amonra_bootable_recovery.git
git checkout supersonic
Once you have finished and rooted your device. please flash another rooted rom from the forum. Flipz has made a root build of the rom that came on the device. it can be found HERE. you will need to wipe data and dalvic cache before flashing this. And again because i cant stress it enough... DO NOT accept a OTA update from Sprint or use a RUU, or u risk lossing root forever, and ever
HOW TO RETURN BACK TO STOCK BUILD:
-Easy peasy- run the RUU in the first post of this thread. this is the only RUU that after flashing, you will still be able to root using this method. link below:
ROOT SAFE STOCK RUU

I love you toast. In a manly, non-homosexual kinda way!!
As soon as root is provided, be sure to understand that I will buy you a beer or two my friend.
Good to see you active on the EVO 4G toast as I liked what you did for the last phone I had (htc hero)... not having root on this EVO phone is a bit of a frustration.
just like i told you before... you pm me your ADDy and ill send you some fresh coffee... i work at Green mountain coffee roasters
being that I'm not surprised about you n all involved getting root..alls I wanna know is if EVO-Godmode is in effect..
btw..use guys are ridiculous!! Mad props
Excellent! :d

I have a evo ready for testing if needed.
I likewise have a Google I/O Evo. Toast, you may remember me from the CDMA Hero forums, if you want a tester just let me know (a nice, roundabout way of asking for early access to root)
Can't wait to start working on custom roms and kernels for this awesome device!
SUPER!
If beta testers are needed, i have the I/O EVO and can test. please pm.

Calkulin, nice to see you. So it seems you'll be getting an Evo! Sweet, I used to use your roms and kitchen on my Diamond. I look forward to see what you, toast, and the rest of the community has in store with the Evo. Glad to see we have full root on the Evo. Next friday can't come soon enough.
sick! cannot wait to seee what you guys can do with this phone.
the screen is too gorgeous to be stuck with the stock ui, so i'm really hoping that since now there's root for this phone it'll get some good custom rom'ing.

Hi XDA,
so basically i bought a Velocity Cruz T301 recently and followed the known procedures for rooting, flashing ClockworkMod Recovery and custom rom (SJHill Rom v0.3).
before the full brick my device was at ClockworkMod 5 and rooted with SJHill Rom v0.3.
i installed CWM by flashing the zip in stock recovery, then succesfully rooted the device, finally wiped and flashed my custom rom
after major dissapointment in this tablets performance i decided i wanted to get rid of it.
So i downloaded the stock rom, wipe and flashed it onto the tablet...
the tablet turned off when it was finished (i think it was attempting to reboot) and never turned back on again...EVER! :good:
i cant even get to recovery
i tried flashing with adb and fastboot but the device is never even presents itselft to the computer.
i found out that you can boot the device into USB boot mode where you hold the "VOL -" (Volume Down) button and press the reset button and while connected to the computer (windows only) a "JZ4760 USB Boot Device" appears.
i did some googling and also found out that the T301 is based on similar tech to a bunch of tablets and they can all be modified by some software released by Ingenic called USBBootTool.exe
the tool is written in chinese and i cant decypher it all, though i found out how to use it based on its usage for other Ingenic based tablets
1.) you will need to disable driver signature verification (press F8 on boot of windows and toggle the setting, i hate rebooting too but it has to be done)
2.) boot your tablet into USB Boot Mode (hold down Vol - and press Reset button)
3.) install the driver for your device (included in the files below)
4.) with the tablet disconnected you would open the USBBootTool.exe
5.) select your tablet in the options and fill each box with the files needed to flash (files included below)
6.) reconnect the tablet while still in USB Boot Mode and the software will flash your device on detection
everything goes fine for me except when i get to the flashing part in the end.
when USBBootTool detects my tablet, it attempts to flash and gives me a stream of errors and never flashes my device.
i dont know what to do at this point. i have provided direct links to all the software im using and also links to where i got them.
any help would be appreciated, thank you to the XDA community in advance

gmick is redoing the software because the coding is set up wrong. Once he gets that figured out there should be a fool proof unbricking method that we can follow. He is posting information over on Slate Droid if you want to take a look.

*Cross Post from SlateDroid* (but I can't post the link because XDA won't allow it)
I found out why the USB boot isn't working. Well, more appropriately I know where it fails but not exactly "why".
The USB Boot tool works like this:
1) Send x00 command (Get CPU Info)
2) Device responds with "JZ4760V1"
3) Host sends two binaries, stage1 and stage2. Stage 1 sets up memory stuff, and Stage 2 sets up USB flashing functions.
4) Host checks that the binaries executed by issuing another x00 command (Which serves as an "Are you still there?" function)
5) If the response is good, the host will flash the images, if the response is bad, it will abort.
Our devices are failing at step 4. The linux usb boot tools (xburst-tools) fail in an identical fashion.
I know that the first stage binary transfers and executes fine because if it didn't the device would be limited to 16k. The second stage is 120K and is transferred successfully. Once the second stage "execute" command is sent, the device crashes.
The second stage is also unique to the CPU type. I've used all of the binaries for JZ4760 I could find on the net and when that failed I cross compiled my own binary from source and it still crashed.
At this point I highly doubt I'll ever be able to fix it, and this completely explains why no one could get any usb recovery tool to work while others using similar devices could. I guess our board is modified just enough for ingenic's stock binaries to fail. Without knowing what's changed (getting Velocity Micro's source) we're SOL.
I can open it up again and solder on the serial header but I'm betting it's going to give me some generic "couldn't execute" message that isn't going to help me. I'll probably do this anyway though because I've come this far so what's the loss.
wow, i learned alot from that post, seems like writing a usbboottool-like application that can send the commands but also log and possibly bypass security checks etc but that def would take sometime. thank you for your insight, seems youve come the closest to cracking the case, actually you found the fault, hopefully your methods can eventually bring about a fix

for my JZ4770 Earlier USB tool was flashing .img without any problem but for now it is saying "load cfg failed". "API downlaod failed' like dialogues and doesnt flash anything. Any idea? Thanks in advance!!
First restart your computer (actually restart it) then redownload the USB boot tool and save it in a completely new directory and use a different USB port

Yes, I tried with this suggestion. Rather I reinstalled xp and the tried again. But the dialogues are same. The history is like this. Was having ICS on JZ 4770. Formatted with usb tool and put JB updates. It was not sensing touch so reflashed another JB updates. Now the tab boots, it reaches to boot logo for around 12 seconds and restarts in stock recovery. While it is in booting stage it get detected by windows and adb also. In stock recovery mode it get detected by windows and in turn by adb also. If I tried to install updates through SD card it shows it had installed and reboots after completion. But again the same way it goes to boot logo and then back to stock JB recovery. It also boots in ingenic boot device mode and gets detected by USB burn tools. But when try to flash any of the ROM it gives the same dialogues "check cfg failed" "api download failed" "boot. fw failed" and cant flash anything.
Is there any tool which can be flashed or a script which can be used from SD card for completely formatting flash memory so that USB burn tool can flash required ROM?
can you flash the stock rom in recovery?

thanks man but I managed to boot the device. I used following USB BOOT TOOL for ingenic 4770 boards. The goodness with this tool, this is completely in English. You will know what you are doing. Even after opening the main window of the tool you can right click and then get another options(yes again in English). My problem with this device was bad blocks at 1024. In the options there is chance to force erase whole the nand partitions which I used and erased all the partitions thereby made all the partions available for flashing and readable by the tool. Then from File option selected stock rom files and flashed them. While flashing selected JZ4770 iNanad.ini file in manual configuration. This tool has really helped me to come out of the issue and will be useful for guys using JZ 4770 board.
http://www.4shared.com/rar/m1BUV5r2/USBBurnTool_20120401_for_relea.html
Got USBBootTool.exe kind of working.
1. Download the following file from Ingenic.
ftp * ingenic * cn/3sw/01linux/tmp/jz4770-20110610.rar
2. Download Applocale from Microsoft.
www * microsoft * com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13209
3. Extract the jz4770-20110610.rar and find the folder. (Using 7zip should keep the UTF encoding in Chinese)
20110610\04burn\20110524_4770_Programmer
4. Copy the folder 20110524_4770_Programmer to location you want to use it in.
5. Install Microsoft Applocale (Just in case, I don't think it is required)
Now Start Applocale and create a shortcut to USBbootTool.exe inside 20110524_4770_Programmer
中文(简体) is simplified Chinese option and should let you view the GUI correctly.
6. Now with the Applocale Shortcut created for USBbootTool.exe you can start the application with correct fonts.
Now this is where is breaks down.
TABLET-8 NAND FINAL BSP(S3 TEST) will allow you to read from it and write to it, but the CFG is off.
\tool_cfg\tablet-8-nand-final.ini is the configuration for it.
DO NOT CONNECT THE DEVICE WITH ANY OPTIONS CHECKED OR LOAD ANY FILES.
See Attached Images.
Next to the Read button is some Boot Option menu. I am not fulling aware of what this does.
What I need is a someone to help me fix/correct the ini/cfg files in
\20110524_4770_Programmer\tool_cfg\.ini
\20110524_4770_Programmer\4760\
to correctly match the files of the NAND.
Also if anyone has a copy (dd to img) or (cat to img) of the block devices.
That would help a ton.
# cat /proc/partitions
# cat /proc/mtd
I would also love another T10x Tablet for cheap.
I want to start building things like new bootloader, kernel, system image,
performance libraries to take full use of the Ingenic JZ4760 (www * ingenic * cn/product.aspx?CID=11)
I also bring Christmas gifts
2 APKS. You can place them in /system/app or /data/app.
Google Play will crash now and again, but it will load and work. (Vending.apk)
Secondly I bring the gift of performance increase, just by a slight bit.
edit the line of the heapsize in /system/build.prop dalvik.vm.heapsize=96m
Remember to make sure the permissions are set back to 666 or 644.
Original Vending.Apk before updates came from here: (Incase you are paranoid)

Which block images do you want?
...also is there a way to rip the stock images off the jz4760 in the t301.
Such as:
Can i usethe ingenic uboot tool?
Anybody find the jtag pins?
Is the 4 pin conn next 2 the batt for serial?
.......i guess ill try to take a look this weekend
Ics would be really nice, but probably slower than stock..... especially with the limited ram
I unpacked the stock rom. I also unpacked an ics rom for a jz4770, and repo sync'd the aosp and mips 3.0.8 android kernel.
I'm still trying to figure out specs for the processor though. I know that its mips32 - el- fp- r1, but i cannot figur out the dsp version ... if it has one?
Error in erasing nand
nanachitang420 said:
thanks man but I managed to boot the device. I used following USB BOOT TOOL for ingenic 4770 boards. The goodness with this tool, this is completely in English. You will know what you are doing. Even after opening the main window of the tool you can right click and then get another options(yes again in English). My problem with this device was bad blocks at 1024. In the options there is chance to force erase whole the nand partitions which I used and erased all the partitions thereby made all the partions available for flashing and readable by the tool. Then from File option selected stock rom files and flashed them. While flashing selected JZ4770 iNanad.ini file in manual configuration. This tool has really helped me to come out of the issue and will be useful for guys using JZ 4770 board.

TWRP 3.1.0.0 with FIsH for our FLEX 2
Tested on h955 and it's still a BETA
Requirements
Here are the pre-requirements you have to met!
If you can't get them: Close this page and FORGET it (until the day you met those reqs)!
Here are the 2 simple requirements you have to met:
1. root by SuperSU >=v2.76 (greater or equal v2.76)
--> to test this requirement just start the installer of FIsH with --check (see next lines) which will check for all requirements and abort if its not possible
--> for many devices - if not all - this means you HAVE TO downgrade/install LL. It also means that you have to upgrade your SuperSU to this version by e.g. FlashFire if you have a lower version installed!
--> SU by phh is NOT supported => It needs a modified /boot and this would void the boot signing chain!
--> Magisk is NOT supported => It needs a modified /boot and this would void the boot signing chain!
--> I will NOT provide downgrading guides there are plenty of them so search and read.
--> I will NOT provide any guides in rooting your device
--> Before you think about downgrading to LL read about ANTI-ROLLBACK protection some devices and may have! Anti-Rollback means you CAN NOT downgrade - it would HARD-BRICK your device (wtf thinking the vendors who we are?? Is this even legal?!)! Check that before!!
2. you have to be able to disable SELinux in your booted Android
--> You do NOT need to set SELinux permanently to permissive. Just CHECK if you COULD get it MANUALLY. If you can get it OK. If not.. you obviously have not full root access but check the forums maybe there is something you can do about this.
--> I will NOT provide any guides enabling SELinux but some lines later you will see how u can execute the very simple check
--> to test this requirement just start the installer of FIsH with --check (see next lines) which will check for all requirements and abort if its not possible
Those above are hard facts so it may NEVER work with MM. Google has changed the way on how the boot chain will be verified and that means changes in /system will void it from now on.
If MM can get fully rooted somehow/somewhen on your device with SuperSU installed and you are able to disable SELinux the method will work there as well.
If you can not meet ALL of the above 2 requirements lay down and cry.
For the others: calm down and read on!
You can simply test those both requirements by downloading the FIsH package and execute the installer with the following test parameter:
./install.sh --check
This way nothing get installed but you will see if it would work on your device or not.
Limitations!
Keep in mind what I said above: FIsH does NOT unlock your bootloader!
That means with TWRP-in-FIsH you can NOT:
Install a custom ROM like CM/Lineage (this will modify boot = SOFT-BRICK)
Install a custom Kernel (this will modify boot = SOFT-BRICK)
Install a custom recovery (this will modify recovery = may SOFT-BRICK)
In short: do nothing which modifies boot or recovery partitions. Those changes will BREAK your boot signing chain.
You can of course flash everything which is modifying /system /data only (e.g. xposed, Audio mods, etc...)
You're able to backup and restore as well of course and doing any other modifications which you may can't while the Android system is running.
Download
READ THE REQUIREMENTS above before proceeding!
Then UNDERSTAND the requirements before proceeding! <-- omg this is crucial important!!!! Ensure that you really do not skip this step!
READ THE LIMITATIONS above before proceeding!
Then UNDERSTAND the limitations before proceeding! <-- omg this is crucial important!!!! Ensure that you really do not skip this step!
... and NEVER ask for ETA's!
if you can say:
Yes! I have read and totally understood the limitations AND the requirements!
then proceed. Otherwise read again until you got it.
Keep in mind that this is a HACK. It may soft-brick your device. you have been warned!
The concept is the same for all models but again no guarantees here for anything.
There is ALWAYS a risk and you should better backup what you do not want to loose before starting downloading this.
Download
Installation (Linux)
You can just install any newer version over an old one.
boot Android and connect USB cable
download the newest version to your PC and open a terminal in that directory
tar xzf TWRP-in-FIsH*.tgz
cd android_FIsH
./install.sh
check the output of that script. you should not see any errors there (hopefully)
Installation (Windows)
use FWUL or be patient.. maybe i or someone else release an installer... maybe...
First run (no PC required)
This FIsH gets installed PERMANENTLY! That means:
You can boot up TWRP the same way as described here again without re-installing.
If you re-install your STOCK image you have to re-install TWRPinFIsH as well.
reboot Android
you should now see: LED goes from blue to GREEN
NOW directly when u see this GREEN LED press VOLUME DOWN and do NOT release
wait until the device vibrates and the LED changed to RED. Then release the Volume Down button.
Wait until FIsH completed and TWRP should be shown --> This means FIsH has done it's job well!
This is a good time to do a full backup isn't it ? Manually mount the SYSTEM partition as it gets not auto mounted atm and do a full backup
reboot from here (safely ignore the msg "no OS installed" and reboot anyways) and you should see Android booting (hopefully ... if not see bottom)
Daily Usage (no PC required)
reboot Android
you should now see: LED goes from blue to GREEN
NOW directly when u see this GREEN LED press VOLUME DOWN and do NOT release
wait until the device vibrates and the LED changed to RED. Then release the Volume Down button.
Wait until FIsH completed and TWRP should be shown --> This means FIsH is doing it's job still very well
AGAIN: keep your mind up! You HAVE to ensure that whatever you do and whatever you flash -> NEVER TOUCH BOOT/RECOVERY! If you flash a ZIP ensure first that it do not modify them! Otherwise you WILL softbrick. You have been warned (several times now)
Trouble / Bootloop fix
if you encounter a bootloop (should never happen but who knows) you have 3 choices at least:
Option 1a: (TWRP-Bootloop) Within TWRP open Advanced -> File Manager -> Goto: /system/su.d and click "select" button -> Delete
Option 1b: (TWRP-Bootloop) From your PC: adb shell rm -rf /system/su.d/
Important: Catch the fish log (see next topic)
Option 2 (this works also for a bootloop without twrp): boot into download mode and use LGLaf to get a shell
then:
setenforce 0 <-- if that doesn't work you may have to do a FULL restore to stock
mount -oremount,rw /system
rm -rf /system/su.d/
reboot. You are out of the bootloop.
Important: Catch the fish log (see next topic)
Option 3: Last resort: Reflash STOCK. sorry.. there is always a risk..
Catch the FIsH logs
when in TWRP (or other ramdisk providing adb shell):
adb shell "cat /cache/fish/fish.log"
adb shell "cat /tmp/recovery.log"
OR - when in Android:
adb shell "su -c cat /cache/fish/fish.log"
adb shell "su -c cat /cache/fish/fish.log.old"
adb shell "su -c tar cvzf recoverylogs.tgz /cache/recovery"
adb pull recoverylogs.tgz
Upload the output to https://paste.omnirom.org and paste the link in the IRC channel (see next topic)
Support / IRC Channel
IRC means Internet Relay Chat and you will get best support here only.
Choose how to get in:
PC (HexChat and Pidgin are only 2 of them! This list is not complete!)
Android (Yaaic, AndChat, HoloIRC, AndroIRC are only a few of them! This list is not complete!)
Web (KiwiIRC-Web,FreenodeWebchat])
When you have to choose a channel it is: #Carbon-user
When you will be asked for a server network choose: freenode
Known issues (may never get fixed)
Due to the fact that FIsH is a BRUTAL hijack of the booting process several things may not work as expected.
This will normally not harm anything but you have to know about.
ZIP / ROM flashing:
omg really you wanna hear that again? OK: DON'T TOUCH BOOT / RECOVERY. And you be safe.
When you try to install a ROM it will modify at least BOOT. That means soft-brick!
When you try to install a custom Kernel.. omg really? It will definitively SOFT-BRICK! Maybe you should read the limitations again??
When you try to install a ZIP like xposed, supersu, Vipermod and others ensure that those are not modifying BOOT or RECOVERY partitions. For those mentioned it would be very unlikely but who knows.
FIRMWARE partition:
cannot be mounted - even not manually. You have to live with it.
Double Tap to wakeup (in TWRP):
Unfortunately this cannot work in TWRP-in-FIsH due to the nature of this hijack. You have to live with it.
Credits (without them - no FIsH!!!)
If you feel that someone / you is missing on this list lemme know!
Chainfire for SuperSU! This is the main part of FIsH.

SteadfasterX is developing some stuff... so maybe on day we will have a possibility to use full custom roms.
But for now we have a custom recovery
If someone is willing to cook something interesting that can work with not touching the boot or recovery partitions... then well I would call it a custom rom
In theory it should work on a H950PR? So I can at least test it

TWRP Not Working for Me
Finally received the phone today. Spent a few hours trying to get your TWRP port installed with no luck unfortunately. After flashing it via SP Flash Tool, I ran into an "Orange State" unlock warning (which I assume is normal). However it's followed by a bootloop. I can only get the phone to boot using the stock recovery.img. Any modifications to the recovery causes a loop.
On the other hand though, I was able to get root through Magisk (I'm using the latest 19.3 version), and patching the stock boot.img through the app, then flashing the patched boot.img to the phone with SP Flash Tool. I have Viper4Android working, which was my main reason for wanting root, so I'm satisfied for the most part. Can't wait to try this phone out as my daily driver!

Root UMIDIGI Power with Magisk
mr A V said:
Can you write how you got the root of the law? Instructions for inexperienced users.
Thank you in advance.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sure thing! Here's a Magisk root guide for anyone just getting started that I wrote up just now. (All mentioned files are provided in the zip.)
Step 0 - Download the Attached Zip File Below
Google Drive Mirror
Mediafire Mirror
MEGA Mirror
Step 1 - Drivers
Install the MediaTek drivers by running "DriverInstaller.exe". These are the drivers that worked for me. But if you have issues with them in Step 5, Google "Mediatek MT65xx USB VCOM Drivers" (or some variation of that) and try some others you can find.
-----------------------------------
Step 2 - Install ADB Interface
Install the Android SDK (ADB Interface). To do this drop the platform-tools folder (from the Step 2 folder) into your C:\ directory. Press the windows start button and search for "Environment Variables" and click on "Edit environment variables" from the results. Under SYSTEM VARIABLES on the bottom (not User variables above it) click on the "Path" variable, and click edit. In the new window that appears, hit "Browse..." and click on the "platform-tools" folder that you placed in your C:\ directory.
All this does is allows you to easily input adb commands into command prompt with no issues. This will be used to verify that the device is appearing properly and issue commands in case of emergency.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
-----------------------------------
Step 3 - Install Magisk
Copy the Magisk.apk to your phone and install it.
(This is where you can then copy the boot.img to your device and patch it via the Magisk app to create the "magisk_patched_boot.img" file, however I have included the already patched file in Step 6 for the UMIDIGI Power so you don't need to.)
Also, this is the Magisk v19.3 Beta, but you can install another version.
-----------------------------------
Step 4 - OEM Unlocking/USB Debugging Mode
On your phone, go to Settings >> System >> Developer Options. (If you haven't activated Developer Options yet, do that by going to About Phone >> Build number, and tap it a bunch of times, but I'm sure you already know this lol)
In Developer Options, turn on "OEM Unlocking" to unlock the bootloader, and USB Debugging.
-----------------------------------
Step 5 - Verify That Your Phone is Detected with ADB
Connect your phone to your PC. Make sure you click "Allow USB debugging" on your phone. Then open up Command Prompt. (Protip: Type "color a" and press Enter if you want to feel like a REAL HACKERMAN.) Now, type in "adb devices" and verify that your phone is detected by your computer. If it's detected, then that's perfect you can move on to Step 6. If not, then uh... you may have to try and find some other MediaTek drivers mentioned in Step 1.
-----------------------------------
Step 6 - Set up SP Flash Tool
Open up SP Flash Tool on your computer by running "flash_tool.exe" in the SP Flash Tool Folder. (If at any time it shows a "Processing" window for some reason, just close and reopen the program if it doesn't go away on its own.)
On the first line choose "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin". And the third line "Authentication File" can be left blank.
On the second line where it shows "Scatter-loading File", hit "choose" and find the "MT6765_Android_scatter.txt" file in the Step 6 folder. It'll load up and show a bunch of green/white rows in the space below.
Now this looked intimidating to me at first, but it's actually quite simple. As far as I understand (and I could be wrong but), the scatter file just tells the program where to place certain files, like a map for the program to follow. The scatter file I provided is for the UMIDIGI Power. The only thing we'll worry about for now is the boot.img file (but in the future, this is where you could also install a TWRP recovery once we get one that is confirmed to work.)
So in the white/green list, scroll down to where it says "boot" in the "Name" column, and click on the blank area in the "Location" column. It will bring up a window where you can browse to the "magisk_patched_boot.img" that I provided.
-----------------------------------
Step 7 - The Big Huzzah (Rooting)
Power off your phone and make sure it's UNPLUGGED. On SP Flash Tool, click "Download". This prepares the program to begin flashing your phone as soon as it is connected. Grab your phone with one hand, and with your other hand plug in the USB cable (if you only have one hand, use your mouth I guess). Your screen should not turn on at all throughout this process, but if it's successful, you should see that the program begins to flash your device after a second or two. Now just wait until it reaches 100% and says "Download Ok" with a green checkmark. And you're pretty much done!
You can then boot up your phone and check the Magisk app, as well as download a root checker from the Play Store to confirm that your phone has root access! Have fun!
Thank you, far-away friend from me, that you are such a sympathetic person! Thank you for writing everything so quickly and in detail. As soon as I receive my phone, I will definitely try to do everything as you wrote.
Tell me, do you plan to install any firmware on this device? For example, Miui. Or are you satisfied with the stock?

No problem! Unfortunately I don't see many custom ROMs coming to this phone, considering it's not a very popular device. I'd guess our best bet is to hope that the UMIDIGI F1 gets some support, and that anything on there can hopefully be ported over to this phone, but even that device isn't very popular either. For me though, that's not a huge issue because I'm actually quite satisfied with the stock firmware it has on board. It's basically stock Android Pie, and I've been able to add all the extra goodies I want into the phone through Magisk Manager and EdXposed with very minor issues. Most notably Viper4Android to fix the slightly tinny speakers and pump up the overall headphone experience too, and Gravity Box for some extra minor software customization.
Overall, I'd say the biggest downside to this device is the limited camera capabilities, and its somewhat limited performance for heavier tasks like 3D games / game streaming. But other than that, this feels like a very premium device. :good:
I thought about the fact that it is you who can transfer other firmware to this device. As a developer, let's say.
On the F1 already installing the firmware AOSP, LOS and other projects. But need to flash these firmware through TVRP recovery. For our device, there is no such recovery yet.
I have little understanding of the intricacies of the android. Sorry if my questions seem silly.
If we take the firmware for F1, for example AOSP, will it have to be somehow changed for our UD Power? Or can just take the archive, as it is, and flash it?
The processor of our smartphone is not very strong, so it is not for games. It is also not clear what RAM is installed. It looks like the manufacturer has installed a cheap part. Put single-channel LDDR 3. So he made a low price. At the expense of device performance.

I definitely consider myself to be a major noob with the more advanced Android development stuff. I only know enough to find my way around the internet and flash compatible software, haha. I've never looked into creating ports myself, but it's certainly something I think might be worth learning, especially with the limited device support on these phones.
And yeah, in terms of performance I don't expect much out of a phone at this price point, but for all the essentials - music, 1080p YouTube, web browsing, and mid to light gaming, it's surprisingly great considering the price. I haven't had any issues with the memory as of yet, so I wouldn't be too concerned, although you're definitely right in that they probably source some pretty cheap parts for these kind of phones.

It works like a charm, thank you! by the way, were you able to boot that twrp or still nothing? and if you made it, were you able to flash a gsi over that too? i'm unable even to boot that twrp

Glad to hear it worked for you!
Still nothing. Unfortunately I haven't had any luck with booting into TWRP since I last tried it. Hoping ghost45 will be able to help us out with that when he gets the chance.
Bootloop - Secureboot
Nevermind, bootloader locked.
just type on CMD:
adb reboot bootloader
then
fastboot flashing unlock

remember to allow oem unlock from developer settings in stock rom, otherwise it will fail!

Finally received the phone today. Spent a few hours trying to get your TWRP port installed with no luck unfortunately. After flashing it via SP Flash Tool, I ran into an "Orange State" unlock warning (which I assume is normal). However it's followed by a bootloop. I can only get the phone to boot using the stock recovery.img. Any modifications to the recovery causes a loop.
On the other hand though, I was able to get root through Magisk (I'm using the latest 19.3 version), and patching the stock boot.img through the app, then flashing the patched boot.img to the phone with SP Flash Tool. I have Viper4Android working, which was my main reason for wanting root, so I'm satisfied for the most part. Can't wait to try this phone out as my daily driver!

How do you manage to work Viper.
Cause i'm having some problems, tested all versions and my Driver always stays on "Active: NO Format: Unsuported.... Abnormal"
BusyBox also don't seens to work.
:/
Some help?

The trick to getting Viper4Android to work is to make sure you have SELinux set to "PERMISSIVE" rather than "ENFORCING" on your phone. Here's a handy little app designed to automatically set it to permissive on boot!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=1561#downloads
And for BusyBox, I was having issues too at first because I think with systemless root, BusyBox can only be installed in /sbin, which gets wiped after each boot. So I searched for "BusyBox" in the Magisk app and found a module called "BusyBox for Android NDK" which has worked perfectly for me.
One thing to note...
Sometimes SELinux doesn't always get changed automatically everytime you boot up. It's pretty consistent, but every once in awhile you may need to manually set it to permissive mode again if things don't seem to be working. But it's literally just pressing a single button, so not a big deal.
The other thing is with Viper itself- At times when I launch the app, the driver status says "abnormal" even after I've toggled SELinux to permissive. If you go into settings and toggle "compatibility mode" or "attach audio effects" on and then off that seems to refresh the driver status. Not sure why, but it works.
Let me know if you have any issues.
TWRP for UMIDIGI POWER
I ask for help in creating TWRP for UMIDIGI POWER firmaware ROM v1.5
Please make for this model TWRP
I am very grateful to you - I unlocked the phone and got the rights Root rights.
It remains only to create a TWRP for UMIDIGI POWER
At this forum, competent specialists and for other models everything is already done.
Maybe there is a website where you can make an order to create a TWRP?
Unfortunately, I do not know English and I do not know how to apply.
I would be very grateful and ready to test your work.

No sir, I don't put out untested stuff. I've gotten 0 feedback on the toolkit
How do we get feedback if no one can download here? we are not forcing anyone to install tiktok whatsapp instagram facebook telegram or any other crappy pipapo, keep development on xda-developers. Think about it

I left a download link, unsure what you mean. If XDA would allow me to upload a 1.7gb 7zip file I would but that's not reality. I need stuff tested and chat to be fluid and prompt. That's not possible on a forum. In reality, If I had the device, I could test in 1 day what it would take a week to do on Telegram or 3 months to do on XDA forum. So for getting things done in a timely fashion, Telegram is my go to. I've been a member of XDA since 2012, I've done my time. If people don't want the toolkit or if joining telegram is too much, that's fine, not the people I want to help me test my software then anyways. The people who just want to grab a download and go can wait for the rest of the backend process. Again, I don't even have this device. So why am I even doing this is what i'm now wondering. I guess next time someone comes to me with a untouched device I won't help and use my resources to get something going....
it's alright though, you can consider this project shelved as I have a different hands on device I've already moved on to. Enjoy the twrp I built for you guys!.....

Appreciated..
Update: flashed the recovery using 'fastboot flash recovery /path-to-.img' and the recovery works fine as far as I can tell, but the system is gone. Or something is up anyway, I can't get it to boot normally.. only to recovery. What did I do wrong?
Sorry Pizza i havent had the time to give feedback on it but i have the same issues booting. please dont let one person ruin it for everyone. i will hyu on telegram later today

Actually i havent had the time to get my linux machine setup correctly because of a memory leak issue that kept crashing my system but i finally got it running stable. i tried using relive on virtualbox but couldnt get it working properly due to driver issues in the host OS on this windows machine and for some reason i had more than one python version installed causing me conflicts. i ended up just using adb to flash the images and the phone no longer boots. i want to test it on a native linux os first
Well, folks...I'm about to give this a go....I still have a BLU View 3 to root today. Much gracias for all the effort

Well I seem to have faux pas along the way.... bootloader unlocked easy-peasey. But I can't get fastboot to flash TWRP no matter what directory I use....RELP!
Is this the ROM or the bootable zip?
I'm back and about to try this again with an actual thumb drive with the ReLiveDVD on a thumb drive now that I have one
I downloaded A-Team-UMX_U696CL_AIO_ToolKit-v0.01.7z from the tg group and here's my feedback. I don't mean to sound ungrateful but:
Root does not work. I opened Main_Menu.sh and the root option literally does nothing. The lines are commented out and the image it was supposed to flash doesn't exist. Bootloader unlocking works (seems to literally be a single fastboot command i.e. "fastboot flashing unlock", seems like the new "oem unlock") and TWRP does work, but only once. If I flash it in fastboot and immediately reboot to recovery from there, I can get in. If I try to go to recovery after restarting, I get the dead android with the red ! triangle saying "no command". TWRP won't mount data (I think it said it couldn't decrypt, but I don't even have a lock code on it) so you need a micro sd to store the boot.img in order to patch it in Magisk. It would've been nice if you included it, though it seems you intended to but haven't gotten around to it since it's only v0.01. Still, it's not much of an all-in-one if it can't do the primary thing most people will want from it. I do fortunately have micro sd cards so I was able to save (manually in TWRP terminal using dd, annoying as hell on a touchscreen, can't even type "=" without going through 2 keyboard menus) and patch it in Magisk and now do have root working.
I don't understand why this requires Linux. The AIO doesn't do anything you can't do in Windows. The Python file is just an ASCII logo that makes you wait 10 seconds for no reason. It would have more user friendly as just a bunch of separate partition IMG uploads and instructions. I wish I had actually looked at the shell scripts beforehand instead of downloading a Linux distro and booting it as a live cd. If you make a new version, consider just including a portable adb/fastboot with it and skipping Linux/Python since it's not necessary.
After googling the "no command" screen, I held down power and pressed volume up and got into the regular Android recovery. So despite the bootloader being unlocked, it appears TWRP got overwritten by the default recovery. I flashed TWRP at least 3 times, immediately entering TWRP each time afterward, but it never stuck.
I'm attaching my Magisk'd boot.img in case anyone else gets stuck at that part. If anyone chooses to use it, MAKE YOUR OWN BACKUP FIRST, obviously. I'm not responsible for anything that happens using that file.

I got twrp to stick but could not do anything with it since I didn't have an SD card before I misplaced the phone. Yes the scripts unfinished but as stated above somewhere, the dev did not have a device to test on.
If you wanna help, and it's probably the only way anyone else who isnt so knowledgable as many visiting xda seeking a way to root their device is gonna get this finished as well, please consider joining the telegram chat and contribute to this forum whatever you learn. Maybe Pizza will still be interested in helping. I tried but somehow misplaced the phone in the middle of filling in my huge gaps of knowledge on the subject.
I could not mount or wipe /data in twrp and even flashing the super.imgwould not allow me to boot because I was unable to do anything with the data partition. Had to flash the stock recovery to get it to boot period.
Maybe twrp will get you root if you patch your boot image with Magisk and flash it in twrp.
I'm not sure what else could be done. And not even sure that would work without being able to mount /data.
It's really hard for anyone working on a device they don't have to finish the work without some feedback from people who have enough knowledge to give them useful feedback.
The unlock bootloader option and the flash twrp recovery options work.
Script could be finished but I doubt there's much motivation for them since th3y don't own the device.
But the script is there. Most of the work on that part is done.
would only take some contributions by interested people.

what do you need a script for? read any random TWRP install guide steps are more or less same
- unlock bootloader
- patch avb/dm-verity/vbmeta
- install TWRP
- makesysrw super.img (optional)
- disable encryption (optional)

Agreed. PizzaG has done a bang up job with his UMX U696CL offerings, and his knowledge is extensive regarding custom ROMs and recoveries.
