I had a similar question, if installing via method2/odin do we need a custom kernel or is the stock kernel okay?

Lets keep this thread on topic i will pm with the details
For method 2 (ODIN method), you have NOT mentioned "need to be on root".
But you have mentioned it for method 1.
Does this mean, if I follow method 2 (ODIN method) and flash the recovery from ODIN, my I9500 will be automatically rooted?
My whole purpose is to get root + recovery without loosing anything in the ROM. I bought it a month ago, and have installed a lot of things. I don't want to re-install again.

How can you read the flash counter?
flashed it through Odin, went to recovery mode and found a poor android laying on the floor with open guts and exclamation mark
did not work.
I just installed the drivers for my S4 and odin recognizes it while the phone is on homescreen! As soon as I put it in download mode, it doesn't recognize the phone anymore!

Unbrick theory...
trying the one touch upgrade utility. it wipes all data in phone and installs a fresh and latest ROM for the device. i guess this will also fix a bricked device somehow.
after this i will try to root it again using MTK tools and ap flash tools with a different idea in my mind... hope it works this time...
[EDIT] UNBRICK METHOD CONFIRMED WORKING!!!
One touch Upgrade
Hello there I'm a total noob in rooting and unlocking bootloads. I just got the same phone as my first android phone and wondered how to root it and I end up here. Now I'm asking how did you get the one touch upgrade software. I've searched the whole alcatel website but I keep getting on the FAQ page. Would you be so kind to put up the link for the software because I kinda bricked my phone here. I was also wondering what speed did you use during your Bin4ry script root attempt? Normal or Special? Keep doing a good job. Thanks for having the time to look for ways to root this phone.

I tried the normal mode as Bin4ry said that the others might brick the phone it it wasn't the right model. did you brick it using the srcipt? any way. still trying to root it and finding help from rua1 that has a great knowledge in MTK phones...
here's the link of the upgrade utiliuty... just install it and choose alcatel 4030 (if your phone is s'pop) then power of the phone remove the battery and follow the instructions on PC and wait till it says plug the phone while powered off.. plug the usb (without battery) then wait for it to detect the device. when it loads, put the battery back and wait for it to download the firmware.. it will take hours to download it.. it's about 2+gigs... good luck on unbricking.. hope it works...
Phone unbricked
Many thanks for the software. My phone is now back to stock rom. for the Bin4ry I also tried Normal because I thought it was for tabs only. So MTK is the only course of action? Any news on fixing the 2 point horizontal bug? and the alcatel FAQ says there's this TCL calibration that you can activate to you know "calibrate" the touch screen. Do you also get the problem where in the stock alarm app alarms but you can't dismiss it ( I set it to crazy mode ) where you need to press 3 buttons to dismiss but still won't stop I really need to pull the battery out. Help please Thanks in advance.

Great. So my theory really worked. Glad you unbricked it. I'm getting closer to rooting it. Just having problems flashing the cwm. Ones I managed to flash it, rooting may be successful. I use Mtk tools and flash tools and get help from rua1. Didn't use my alarm before so i'm not sure about the bug. Maybe you don't have to set it in crazy mode..
I tried to set the alarm in crazy mode and everything works fine. Just dismiss, unlock, and tap the three buttons with numbers and your done..
Rooted, finally!!
I finally rooted the alcatel spop. I will make a guide maybe later how I did it...

Disclaimer: Your warranty is now void. You do this in your own risk. I do not take any responsibility to your device. This will definitely brick your device which is normal but follow the right instructions to make it work again.
Credits: This is tuts would not be possible without the help from the creator of MTKdroid tools, rua1 from XDA Developers. Thank the guy for his wonderful tool. If you wanna know how I did it, go to his thread right here. I also wanna acknowledge The Solutor and rimmon1971's efforts for porting the TWRP to our device. You can find The Solutor's work here.
Requirements:
1. A windows based PC
2. MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tool
3. Universal ADB driver
4. One Touch Upgrade S
5. Root script
6. Patience
7. Most important! Use your brain!
Important!
To make this work without errors, don't use other drivers available in the web. Just install One Touch Upgrade S first. It will install the USB VCOM preloader driver. It will be needed by the SPFT to detect the phone. Use the provided ADB driver for the MT65xx_android_phone. If ever you get stucked in an error and your device wont boot anymore, just use One Touch Upgrade and your phone will be as good as new...
Guide: CWM/TWRP recovery
1. Download MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tools, ADB Drivers, One Touch Upgrade S, and the Root script. Extract them anywhere in your computer.
2.Install ADB driver.This step is now optional to get adb working. You can now skip to step 5 if you just want to get rooted with CWM/TWRP recovery installed.. In your phone, go to Settings>Development. Set to on and check USB debugging.

3. Connect device to PC. Driver will fail to install (thats normal). Install UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
Note: in Windows 8, this will pop-up. do this:
4. After installing the Universal ADB driver, go to device manager of your computer. Follow the images as descirbed.
ADB commands should work now (if you have ADB installed) and you won't have any problems about MTK droid tool not detecting phone.
5. Be sure that you have already installed One Touch Upgrade S before this step. Open SP Flash tool and select the scatter file by clicking on the Scatter-loading button.
6. UNCHECK BOOT and leave RECOVERY checked. Disregard what is on the photo. There's are reports that the latest firmwares are incompatible with the uploaded patched boot.img.
Note: By default, the CWM recovery will be selected in the SP Flash tool. If you want the fully working TWRP-recovery (I recomment this because CWM recovery is not fully functional), just click RECOVERY and replace it with this file.
7. Click Download button. Click yes on the download warning. Turn off phone, remove battery and connect the phone (without battery) and wait until SP Flash tool detects the phone and watch as it flash the image.
8. If everything passes without errors, unplug the phone, reinsert battery and boot to recovery by pressing power + volume up.
9. You should boot in CWM/TWRP recovery. We are ready to flash the Superuser app to gain root.
Guide: Superuser
You can use mtk droid root and tools here. Just plug in phone to pc while still in CWM recovery. Run mtk tools, wait to detect phone, click superuser, then build.prop, then delete china. Your done. Or use the guide below if you have problems with it.
Using CWM recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on CWM recovery, plug the phone into PC again.
2. Navigate using volume up and down buttons. Press Power button to select and Back soft key to go back.
3. Select mounts and storage>mount USB storage.
4. Copy the root-glory-2-4030E.zip to your sdcard.
5. After copying, select unmount and go back.
6. Select install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>root-glory-2-4030E.zip and select yes - Install root-glory-2-4030E.zip
7. It will flash the app to the system including all needed binaries. I also included the fix-permissions banary which is missing from the ROM.
8. Reboot the phone and wait. It will boot normally and no data will be lost. You will see superuser app in your app drawer. You are now rooted!:thumbsup:
Using TWRP recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on TWRP recovery,Connect the device to PC.
2. Tap mount in the screen then Mount USB storage.
3. Copy the root-glory-2-4030E.zip to your sdcard.

bootanimation problem!
I changed my bootanimation and tried if it works using these commands which i normally do with my past android devices.
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the animation works fine but when i hit:
Code:
adb reboot
the animation showed was just android mask or android shine which shows when you don't have bootanimation.zip inside /data/local or /system/media. it's like a default bootanimation.
so once I booted, I tried again
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the bootanimation works but when I reboot, it's back to default.
I tried replacing back the original bootanimation.zip but it still the defaut bootanimation. It's very weird. I haven't encountered this before...

Found out the cause of this issue. The stock ROM has no fix_permissions binary. So I pushed the binary and tried to fix perm again and now custom bootanimation.zip works!

MIUI
How about porting MIUI to start with?
I am already running MIUI Home Launcher and it is a breeze. Do you have any experience with porting ?
I looked at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827256 and it looks straight forward. What I am not sure is how much these applications depend on the underneath framework.. I mean, If I take all these apk and libraries, will it work on this stock Gionee Dream D1 ROM ?

Did you install the MediaTek drivers from the link above? Make sure you dont have the phone connected in the PDANet+ (Right click on the System Tray icon and click on disconnect. Also make sure you have USB debug enabled, under Settings->Developer Options.
If all the above fail try restarting the system and try to connect the phone to a different USB port on your computer.
let me know the results.

Currently looking at various Chinese forums to get a proper rom backup tool for MediaTek based devices. Also have contacted Gionee India asking them to release the Factory Stock ROM and the flashtool for the device. Micromax, Lava and many other manufactures give the Stock ROM for download.
At work now and do not have access to any of the resources here..

Ensure USB Debugging mode is enabled on your device.
Connect your device to your PC via USB.
Run run.bat from the extracted folder.

That's great news. Thanks
On my windows 7 ThinkPad, it has never been able to detect the phone over the serial console. Perhaps I'll try it on someone else's box.
Please read the guides below before asking questions
========================================================================================================================
This CWM and Root Method is tested from many users and at least by me on this devices GT-I9506 and SHV-E330S!!
========================================================================================================================
USE THIS GUIDE WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DO AND YOU DONT CARE ABOUT KNOX WARRANTY 0x1b !!!
IF YOU DONT WANT TO VOID YOUR KNOX WARRANTY STOP READING THE TEXT BELOW AND GO OUT OF THIS THREAD..... Thanks !!!
========================================================================================================================
----- SHORT DECLARATION - ODIN3 -----
PDA refers to the build version of the firmware
Phone refers to the baseband/modem version
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
• The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
• .tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package
• .tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package
If this is the case you will need to put these .tar archives in the specific areas of Odin to flash the update

1. Just download the CWM version you want from the 2nd post. It must be a .tar or .tar.md5 file!!
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you downloaded in step 1
5. PLEASE DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION!!!
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow
Should look like this screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

If it wasn't for you I would still be with a castrated beast.
I just want to ask if this custom version of Phil's Touch has less features compared to the common one we all know?
Otherwise I will have to install the CWM, but I don't like it.

Yeah I choosed the same.
I only suggest you to add at step #6 of the flashing tut the link to the Samsung USB drivers as it's a common thing people might forget to install and therefore the device wouldn't be detected when connecting by USB.
Now thanks to you I can finally back everything up with Titanium and flash another ROM (the NEE one)!
Remember to setup a Beer button so that we can offer you one.

Same problem here. No ext sd card access here with Phils.
Do you remove the sd before going into CWM? Format is exFAT.

I actually had my contacts saved on the Google account and you can do the same.
Save the SMS with SMS Backup & Restore.
Everything else can be moved to your computer and back.
I then rooted the phone, installed Titanium Backup and went on with a complete apps, data and settings backup.
Even after flashing the NEE firmware everything (but root and CWM) was there without the need of a restore.

DISCONTINUED - Left for research and archive purposes.
After much hardwork @codelover and I are pleased to release both stock rom as well as TWRP 2.8.6.0
for the 2 known variants v31 and v38. Please make sure you download and flash for your specific variant. Check faq if you do not know which variant you have.
REQUIRED FOR BOTH VARIANTS:
Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10TP 32bit or 64bit
SPFT (Windows Version) “linux version coming soon”
Correct Scatter File
Preloader Drivers (if you do not know how to install manually go here)
ADB
A Brain
Usage:
For flashing either pre-rooted Rom and/or TWRP you will need spft+scatter file. It is imperative that you make sure that if you got a v31 you only uses v31 files not v38. Same for the v38 users only use v38 files. You have been warned.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing Rom:
Make sure
Run the file flash_tool.exe
Click on scatter-loading and select your MT8127_Android_scatter_RCA_Vx.txt file
Make sure all listed files are checked and if any isn't double click on it and select the appropriate file
Leave settings as Download Only “if working tab Format All + Download "if wont boot' then hit the Download button
Make sure your tablet is completely switched off then connect it to your PC and the flashing process will commence immediately.
Once it's done, you'll see the tick sign below and that's all. Reboot your device and setup your device afresh.

NOTICE:
Please keep thread clean and DO NOT ask things others have asked already as you will be ignored. If you do have a honest question and have a working knowledge of android. I would be glad to assist you the best I can. If you are noob and messed something up DO NOT ask for help. Meaning basics of knowing adb,logcat, installing drivers, and so forth. Sorry if you are a noob but please try to understand that things we may ask of your will require this and becomes too much of a slow down if we have to guide you thur everything.

Faq:
Question: How do I know which variant I have?
Ansere:
Method #1
From a booted android, goto Settings > About > Build number
You should see something like this.
RCT6773W22-ANDROID4.4.2-3101-V38-V1.8.0
Method #2 (Better & more accurate)
For this your device must be rooted & already have USB Debugging Mode enabled.
Make sure adb.exe has been installed on your system (computer).
Execute the following adb command:
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/cmdline
then search for ‘lcm’ text in the output:
If lcm=cpt_clap070wp03xg_lvds < you need to use v31 files
If lcm=1-lxjc070whm270_18a_rgb < you need to use v38 files
Question: What if I dont remember which variant I have and can’t access adb?
Ansere: If this is the case we will need to use SP Flash Tool to help identify your variant.
Open SF Flash Tool, load V38 scatter and switch to ‘Read Back’ tab. Clear all then click Add,
Click the new item & change the output file name from ROM_0 to ROM.txt,
edit the readback address as below:
Start Address: 0x9000000 / Length: 0x1000
Then press “Read back” button, now connect the tab while powered off.
When it’s done, open the file with wordpad and check if you have “ANDROID” at the beginning of the file, if your answer is yes then you have V38, otherwise use V31.

I can't say as to why but you do need the self education one can learn about how to use spflash tool,, seeing as that's the way that I know that's the first info I could offer ,,, you should get your version information first, then download your ROM because the scatter file that had reports of best results are in the full firmware, and you then need to know that the reset button will bring up a driver install but it happens fast to catch this you need the device manager in windows open, plug the rct in then press reset with a tothpick or other small pin ect,, the device shows up with a sound chimes on windows, right click the new device in the USB group and install using the hosted driver,,, now to the spflash tool its self load the scatter in the full ROM related to the vershion you have and then only check recovery,,, and find the twrp.IMG in you downloads and use only the download option in the spflashtools,, and click download then Right after hit reset on the back of the tablet,,, it can be done ,,,, even for the new people wanting to learn,,, regarding the twrp,installer.exe I linked to, I have no knowledge it was only reported to be a full success by another user before you so I wanted to offer a fast way for others to find it ,, so I linked to the .exe,,, and lastly ON MY TABLET I HAVE TO BE ON A CHARGER TO LAUNCH RECOVERY AT BOOT USING VOLUME KEY,..and you can download a root reboot apk that will boot from inside android directly into recovery,, maybe I helped,,,, p.s. another great thing the full ROM offers is the original OEM recovery.. Pleas do try to learn. As always i do wish every one the best

best regards to you @TigerG8
This is a very nice budget tablet from Tablet Express. I found mine on eBay for $93.00, new + free shipping, and have been very pleased with it. I love that it came with Developer Options already on, had USB Debugging enabled right out of the box, and has a screen protector installed by the manufacturer. Add the fact that the bootloader isn't even locked, and you really can't go wrong with this device.
I used the AIO TWRP Compiler script by @yuweng, to build this recovery, it's a very efficient tool to work with and he put a lot of work into it. Many, many thanks there!!
Well, enough rambling, lets get started...
KNO'DIS: I, OR ANYONE ELSE AT XDA, WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR "BRICKING" YOUR TABLET!! IF YOU MANAGE TO MAKE A BRICK, DUE TO YOUR "FUN-DA-MENTAL" INABILITY TO READ, GO BUILD A BBQ PIT WITH IT!! (Or ask for help, there's a lot of friendly people around here)
Verify Partition Scheme
Over the past few months, it seems some devices have different names for the partition scheme, either "nand" or "mmcblk". So, the first step will be to check which type you have before installing TWRP and rooting the device. Here's how you check:
1) Connect the device to your PC, and open a terminal
2) Type the following:
Code:
# to make sure the device is recognized:
adb devices
# result should be:
List of devices attached
00000000000000000000 device
# Now type:
adb shell
# followed by:
ls -al /dev/block/by-name
# First Line should be 1 of the 2:
# This is a "mmcblk" device
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-07-20 00:08 UDISK -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
# This is a "nand" device
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-07-20 00:36 UDISK -> /dev/block/nandk
Once you know which device type you have, follow the below directions accordingly.
Root (Works for Android 4.4.4 and 5.1.1)
Rooting the device is easy, there are two methods that I know work:
1) Install TWRP, then flash Chainfires current SuperSu zip, find it Here (<-- recommend method)
2) Using Kingo Root for PC, find it Here (Use the Root Again option)
Install TWRP
You should already have ADB installed on your PC, or BusyBox and Terminal Emulator installed on your tablet, I will not cover installation of either of those. And you should know which type of mount partitions your device is using. To get the TWRP recovery on your device, you have a few options:
1) Use ADB to "push" the image (Android 4.4.4 and 5.1.1)
2) Use the included shell script, via BusyBox and Terminal Emulator (Android 5.1.1 and the device must already be rooted to use this option)
Download the appropriate zip for your device, located below, under Downloads, and extract it to a convenient location on your PC. If using your Tablet, the shell scripts and TWRP image must be in the root directory ( / ) to work properly.
Using ADB (Android 5.1.1) on "nand" partitions
Put the X10_twrp3.0.2.img file in the same directory as your working ADB, then enter the following:
Code:
adb push X10_twrp3.0.2.img /dev/block/nandf
#After it finishes:
adb reboot recovery
Now, flash the SuperSU flashable zip and your device will be rooted, yay!
That was easy, yes?
Using ADB (Android 5.1.1) on "mmcblk" partitions
Put the X10_twrp3.0.2.img file in the same directory as your working ADB, then enter the following:
Code:
adb push x10_twrp_mmc.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
#After it finishes:
adb reboot recovery
Now, flash the SuperSU flashable zip and your device will be rooted, yay!
That was easy, yes?
Using ADB (Android 4.4.4)*As of now, KK uses "nand" ONLY
This is the only way I could get it to work right on KitKat, sorry, no Terminal Emulator for this one...
Put the X10_twrp2.8.7.0.img file in the same directory as your working ADB, then enter the following, one line at a time:
Code:
adb push X10_twrp2.8.7.0.img /data/local/tmp
# Wait for it, then type:
adb shell
#Followed by:
dd if=/data/local/tmp/X10_twrp2.8.7.0.img of=/dev/block/nandf
#After it finishes:
reboot recovery
Now, flash the SuperSU flashable zip and your device will be rooted, yay!
That wasn't too bad, was it?
Using Terminal Emulator (Android 5.1.1 using "nand" ONLY)
Put the X10_twrp3.0.2.img and twrp.sh files in the root ( / ) folder of your tablet, then open the Terminal Emulator, enter the following, one line at a time:
Code:
su
sh twrp.sh
The script will tell you when it's done, now, power off the tablet. Boot into recovery by pressing and holding the Volume Down and Power Buttons. When the Dragon Touch logo appears, release the Power Button but continue to hold Volume Down until TWRP boots.
I hope you enjoy my work, and keep in mind that I like to keep things up to date, when a new version of TWRP comes out, I'll build it and post it here.

@NepoRood, great work! One suggestion, instead if using the PRODUCT_COPY_FILES, you can simply add DEVICE_RAMDISK_(DIRS|FOLDERS) += rootdir
I am sure the flag has dir rather than folder in its name, but you can easily confirm that from the thread and you have to use an absolute path for folder name, so include the device/vendor/codename also, before rootdir.

Thanks for more great advice, I've read the first page of the OP a dozen times or more, and never noticed that flag (until you pointed it out!). Would have saved a lot of typing, lol, I'll definitely use it for future projects :good:

Unfortunately, no, I've never had any luck building a ROM. However, I'm going to give it a shot with this tab (I might as well try, lol) IF, I come up with anything, it will be posted here.

I can lend you my Jenkins server if that's what is bothering you. I'll even fix errors occasionally when I get time

Thank you for the offer my friend!
I've only tried to build for one device, well 2 actually, both RCA (MT8127), both failed miserably. Even though I got a "successful" build (ie: no errors/make completed) CM12.1 wouldn't boot. Come to find out, the zip and system.img had limited files, I can't remember which, but not enough for a complete rom
So, I decided to learn everything I could about building TWRP (thanks for your help with that too )
I'll pull all the vendor blobs from the X10 and try to put together the device tree for rom building and get back to you.
Thanks Again,
Nepo
marshmallow
you think this tablet is able to be upgraded to marshmallow?
i found a rom for 6.0.1 that has the same processor A83T
it has the same processor so do you think it would flash?
Thanks!
the firmware is
A83T_N106_N1061L6BC_20160309

The flag is actually this
Code:
RECOVERY_RAMDISK_DIRS += device/<vendor>/<codename>/ramdisk
As seen in this reverted commit

I think it may work, post a link and I'll test it. Or, you can try it and let us know if it works. Do you have the current firmware already? If not, get it here
PS, you can also use Phoenix Card to boot from External SD just to test
Ahhh Please Help?

A83T_N106_N1061L6BC_20160309-ok NOT WORKING. RED/WHITE BOOT SCREEN.
I have downloaded and flashed all these images and I cannot get TWRP to work? I have installed Via Adb and Terminal, but it will not flash the recovery.
All I get is the factory recovery. I can confirm it pushed it to device, but will not work.
Can someone else verify.

Paxster
For Users: The Best and Easy App to use is the PhoenixSuit (Just Google lol)
I'm using this one:

If all you have is 3e recovery, then you're doing something wrong somewhere. Make sure the TWRP image is in the proper directory.
PC: should be in the same folder as your adb.exe file
Tablet: should be in root directory, which is just a backslash " / "
Please let me know how it goes

I am going to try it tonight. I didn't know about the phoenixcard boot to test it. I will try that method and post my results if someone doesn't beat me to it
thanks for the info about the phoenixcard
I can't post a link till 10 posts for the firmware btw :/ i'll try to message it to you.

Yes Recovery is in the same Dir as ADB. It confirms being sent in the Adb Window to my booted Tablet.
Also if I use a Terminal app, it is also confirmed as being flashed, but I still get a 3e recovery? So strange.
Its driving me nuts lol..
Q:Should it work with any V5.1 Android Firm? I am using X10-HT-PW-V2-AL-5.1-20150115 from tabletexpress.
Can you confirm what version yours is working on please.
UPDATE... 5 Hours later.. I managed to flash the TWRP on Android V4.4 using Rashr. and when in recovery the screen is corrupted, unable to use? and Twrp is in Landscape mode. Shall try this method on V5.1.

Paxster
PS: @stickz42o A83T_N106_N1061L6BC_20160309 Does not work. I posted above.. Red/White Stuck Boot.
@NepoRood
Ok.. I used RASHR to install TWRP. A lot less hassle for people i recon matey. Plus it worked.....ADB refused to install lol...
It works ok on the Android V5,1, (X10-HT-PW-V2-AL-5.1-20150115) but unable to backup any partitions. The Twrp Log reports Unable to mount or find the partitions?
Plus you cannot boot the tablet again after rebooting out of twrp hehe..
Here is a Log File after Flashing a Image from PhoenixUSBPro. The Partitions are there View attachment PAXSTER.LOG So maybe TWRP does not know where they are ekk? Maybe it will help from the log file to sort his out? Im new to creating a Twrp File.

When building, I ran into problems of only TWRP booting, turns out it was an init.rc and recovery.fstab issue. But, I had that fixed for the final release I'm using the exact same firmware as you are, and TWRP works perfectly.
Could you attach your TWRP log?
