[ROM][STOCK] X8-H Stock OTA → TWRP Installable
THIS IS OBSOLETE NOW, PLEASE USE THE TWRP PROVIDED HERE
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/amlogic-based-tv-players/16228-twrp-for-amlogic-devices
This release is for people like myself who installed TWRP.
I have only tested this on the X8-H I have no idea if it will work on any other models. I don't have a PLUS model, I doubt it would work on it. If you have a PLUS with TWRP feel free to message me I may be able to help.

FIRST
Sorry if this is a bit convoluted, I am not an android developer, I don't really have much expertise in this.
TWRP
The problem with this TWRP is it sets your ro.product.device to x8-h instead of NEO-X8 which breaks the "OTA" update feature. I don't really care about OTA, so this makes little difference to me.
I got TWRP here: http://www.minixforum.com/threads/twrp-recovery-for-neo-x8-h.1267/
I mirrored the zip file here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952606011
There's a couple ways to install it, I did:
Code:
adb push TWRP_X8-h.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot recovery
Install update from ADB
Code:
adb sideload TWRP_X8-h.zip
UPDATES
These are pulled from OTA and modified to work with TWRP. I did not include any additional stuff, I figure if you're using TWRP already you probably know more than the average user and can setup your device however you want.
Get both of these...
KOT49H.20150428: This update is the 004 update.
Notes: This is a full system update, I wiped my system before installing it.
Release Page: http://www.minixforum.com/forums/x8-x8-plus-x8-h-official-firmware-004.123/
update.KOT49H.20150428.TWRP.zip - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952606046
KOT49H.20150507: This update is the 005 update.
Notes: This update will revert your recovery back to their stock recovery, because reasons. You'll have to reflash TWRP afterwards if you want to continue using it.
Release Page: http://www.minixforum.com/forums/x8-x8-plus-x8-h-official-firmware-005.125/
update.KOT49H.20150507.TWRP.zip - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952606012
Installation:
Boot into recovery.
Back-Up your device.
Wipe your device, I did it, you can try not doing it, not sure what will happen.
Install updates the update.KOT49H.20150428.TWRP.zip first then add the update.KOT49H.20150507.TWRP.zip
After both install it will "upgrade" your recovery to stock. You may reapply the TWRP_X8-h.zip update here if you would like.
After you're done with that TWRP will ask you if you would like to root, I recommend yes.
Reboot
???
Profit!

Instructions for making and signing a flashable zip...
What I did to get the OTA updates was:
Open the updater and download the whole thing.
Reboot into TWRP and the auto update fails.
Plugin with USB and adb shell into the device.
Use the find command to locate the update file: find / -name "*.zip"
Exit out of the device back to your host machine.
Download the update file: adb pull /path/to/name_of_update.zip .
Extract the zip file: unzip name_of_update.zip
Delete the original signing files: rm META-INF/CERT.RSA META-INF/CERT.RSA META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Edit the google/android/updater-script and remove the line which checks for ro.product.device
Re-zip the archive.
Sign the archive.
Instructions for signing the zip can be found here: http://www.learn2crack.com/2014/02/sign-android-apk-zip.html

Hello DodgeRom,
thanks a lot for your prerooted package. It makes getting root much easyer.
I am having one problem with it: The rom is rooted, but I still cannot modify the system partition (remounting /system in rw mode results in the operation not permitted error.) Do you know, how to change this? The newest version of superSU is installed. I would really like to get /system writeable to edit system files like the hosts file.
I would really appreciate some help here.
Why do I need to wipe my phone before installing? As far as I know, flashing overwrites these partitions.
You have a typo in
4. Flash zip from link bellow!

Step by step Guide flashing OTA update using OrangeFox Recovery Project​
But before proceeding, make sure you did all of the steps here https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-unlock-bootloader-custom-t3839405
1. Preparation for the OTA update
-BACKUP YOUR IMPORTANT DATA FIRST
-Download the latest release of OrangeFox Recovery (found above)
-Download your MIUI Full ROM (See above)
1.1 Flash the OrangeFoxRecovery.zip using your current custom recovery
-Reboot to OrangeFox Recovery
1.2 Go to the settings and enable these MIUI OTA settings
-Support MIUI Incremental OTA
-Include system in OTA survival
-Incremental OTA signature verification
-Aggressive stock recovery deactivation
-Disable DM-Verity
-Disable Forced Encryption (Some devices bypass this option, there will be a step on how to fully disable forced encryption later.
1.3 Go to the WIPE menu and tick wipe data, cache and dalvik
1.4 Flash your full MIUI ROM (stable/beta). After the ROM is flashed, OrangeFox will start the "OTA_BAK" process, which will backup your system and boot partitions into the /sdcard/Fox/OTA directory. You must NOT delete any of the files in the /sdcard/Fox/OTA directory. If you do, then incremental OTA updates will most definitely fail.
1.5 Reboot your phone and start to use your phone normally
1.6 When MIUI notifies you that there is an update, download the update, using the MIUI updater app and allow it to reboot automatically to OrangeFox
-If an error shows that the data partition is still encrypted, then time for step 2
-If the ota update succeeded, then Congrats just wait around 5-10 minutes to boot. Ignore the next step
2. Transfer folders Fox and rom_downloads from internal storage to sdcard (Please don't get confused by this, it is explanatory.)
-If you done downloading the OTA, transfer rom_downloads from internal storage to sdcard
-Transfer Fox from internal storage to sdcard, DO NOT SKIP THIS OR YOU'LL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
-Make sure the Force Encryption Disabler and Magisk is in the sdcard. We gonna need it.
2.1 Reboot to OrangeFox
2.2 Wipe Data ONLY, Don't forget to transfer the Fox from internal storage to sdcard or you'll lose the ota survival
2.3 Flash Force Encryption Disabler
2.4 Reboot recovery
-If no pop-up was shown to decrypt data, then Encryption is disabled.
2.5 Reboot the device
2.6 Transfer folders Fox and rom_downloads from sdcard to internal storage
2.7 Go to MIUI updater app then press reboot to flash ota update Don't forget to transfer the Fox from sdcard to internal storage or you'll risk your device to brick because ota_bak never existed during ota update
-Make sure you have 15% battery life or connect it to a plug
2.8 Say your prayers that it worked
2.9 If the ota update succeeded, without bootloop or errors was shown during the flash. Then you are good.
-Takes time to boot after the ota update? Just wait around 10 minutes, in this process, the data partition gets force encrypted again and needed to be disabled again via custom recovery. After boot, you can proceed again to disable force encryption via OrangeFox.
-New ota update? Just repeat the step 1.6
Questions? Feel free to message or reply this thread.
Great job.… :good:
Try modifying /system partition (like removing a bloted system app or editing build.prop) after step 1.5 then update OTA through rest of the process if it get flashed or not.... Let me know, it'll be great help for me!!

Ohhh yeah... About that...
Even though you modified something in the system partition (like flashed a custom kernel, have Magisk/SuperSU installed), it will get removed because of the OTA update and will be replaced by stock kernel, and a non-rooted system. But about removing bloated system app, I will try that next time.
You could try it, before proceeding to step 1.6, you can back-up your system apps using Titanium back-up or other apps available on the play store. Or just BACKUP everything via OrangeFox. If anything gets wrong or something, at least you have a backup to restore with.
Everything you flash on the system (custom kernel, Magisk/SuperSu, performance mod, tweaks, will be wiped.
Just flash it again and everything would be fine.
Sir, is this still working on latest developer rom (9.4.26) ?
Do you prefer R9.0 over R9.0.1 ? Had read that latter has bugs.
Or safest method as of now is from this post via official twrp ? --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79461706&postcount=186
Please help sir as I really want to be on stock miui w/ magisk & OTA support.
Thanks in advance kabayan!

Hi I got this CUBOT NOTE 7 and I found working TWRP for it, and instead of what you typed I got something similar but not the same, I got the fstab.mt6735 file (MT6737 CPU) and instead of "wait,check,quota,formattable,resize,forcencrypt=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/metadata" the closest thing I could find is "wait,check,formattable,quota,reservedsize=128m,formattable,resize,checkpoint=fs,fileencryption=aes256-xts", I assume I have to change "fileencryption" to something else, I have no idea if you go to XDA often but I posted this just in case somebody finds it useful
Sent from my desktop using Windows 8.1.
As you found a working TWRP, you can basically flash the file attached below after flashing magisk. If that doesn't work,
replace
"wait,check,formattable,quota,reservedsize=128m,formattable,resize,checkpoint=fs,fileencryption=aes256-xts
With
wait,check,quota,formattable,resize,encryptable=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/metadata
