Hi guys, may be my question is oftop, but
What about dual boot for mi4i as like mi pad, it would be perfect for testing goals and safe for regular users ?

Can't flash the build on my mi4i
Hi guys, is anyone facing the same issue? I have rooted and flazhed TWRP using the tool provided on forum but when it comes to flashing the CM build on my device it doesn't recognize it and says my device is TCL_m3g , which TWRP version do you use? Thanks for the help

It happened to me too
Don't worry there's a solution. You might have used mi4i toolkit v3 for rooting.
But when I tried the updated toolkit that is V4 from MIUI forums.

Flash TWRP again and you are good to go

time for for some CM12.1 beta testing`
works like a charm with mi4i tools v4, now time for the serious stuff! thanks for the help

Exchange email encryption fails
Guys, first the rom fees great for a WIP! Seems everything works as expected for me but can't find a way to add my exchange account to the email app, I tried even to encrypt the device and see if it would work but nothing, also downloaded a zip file another device forum to bypass exchange security. Nothing works, any help? Thanks guys! Julien

exchange support is quite incomplete in cm 12.1
that should get rectified in near future by cm team itself

Patch Sensors
Flash Patch-sensors.zip with TWRP
Then, factory reset needed.
after the first boot, change the lockscreen into a pattern mode to cope with SoD

Find bug : Animation off charging
( i can't speak English ) hahahaa

Error
I am trying to flash the cm12 build using TWRP however I am getting an error message - "error executing updater binary in zip" This package is for device: ferrari; this device is TCL_M3G
However this a Mi4i. What could be the problem? Has the device name changed over updates?
Please help.

Check my post above.. About toolkit v4

Tried that and failed
So here is the deal. i did see that post and tried to flash twrp which is in v4.
It shows successful and reboots but i still get in to the normal MI recovery. Dont know whats going wrong here.

Finally proud to say I'm a 4i owner. It runs way smoother than MIUI. Sweet. ^^ Thanks for all the hard work.

[DEV] Work in progress LineageOS 16.0 for Nubia Z18 NX606J

Hey,
over the last few weeks I've used my Christmas vacation to start working on the Z18 again. However since work is coming up again soon, I won't have that much time (and nerves) for working on this properly until the end of summer probably.
That's why I want to share my codebase with you, so maybe someone can pick up where I left off (and really, it's nothing big I did. I merely set up the device tree and made it compile more or less. It doesn't boot because of avb and I'm not aware of any way around that)
The device tree can be found here. It's still using a prebuilt kernel but I'll work on fixing the kernel source to a compileable state next.
If anyone wants to get involved, help or pick this up, feel free to do so. The community and I are always happy for help.
Explanations of what the next steps would be can be found below.
Again, do not install this unless you want to softbrick! It's not useable at all and will currently fail at boot verification!!

So what's next?
Fixing avb2.0: This isn't an easy task. How I understand, it either needs the official keys or I failed at signing the build with test keys from LineageOS. Either way this is the first step and top priority so the device boots again at least
EDIT: It seems that https://github.com/rockchip-linux/tools/tree/master/linux/Linux_SecurityAVB might be of some use (given that youyim123, the guy who also did the TWRP for Z18 starred this project). However I don't speak Chinese and putting my device in the hands of Google Translate is risky.. so anyone willing to translate, I'm open for DMs or anything
EDIT2: avb is working, so we can move on to breaking our system now (yay)

Hi, Its a long time i am waiting for a suitable rom to be installed in my Nubia Z18. Can you tell me when this rom can get out? Your effort is highly appreciated.

Sorry but I can't give you any ETA on this. I'm working on it in my little free time and I'm not even sure what I'm really doing with this. The source is all on the GitHub repo I linked in the OP though, so if you're hesitant and want to get a working ROM, just get involved. It's really not that hard, all it requires is time, patience and lots of googling for weird error messages and further features you want to implement.
You can mostly follow the guide here https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/bacon/build just replace the bacon command with nx606j-eng and you're good to go and build this yourself. Maybe you can figure out avb since I can't do it by myself, so any help is appreciated.

Dear Sir, Thank you so much for your reply. Last day i tried to push a TWRP from here TWRP installed, but failed to install any gaapps. although process said success.

Yeah, that thread, if most of the development threads on the Z18 so far, was made by me. I also mentioned in post #3 that flashing Gapps doesn't seem to be working and I was trying to ask the GApps team for help. I never got an answer though, so I stopped looking into this and instead focused my effort on providing a working Lineage build for everyone. The result of that is this thread here

Hey curtisy, are u building lineage OS forZ18 right now?
im chinese and can help to test this rom if need tester, I've a Z18 on hand rite now and still finding a solution to solve the "GAPP" problem
try to flash GAPP package but no luck!
hope the Lineage can release soon for testing~tks!

I'm not building it right now. As I said, the project is pretty much on standby for anyone to take it where I left it but I'm still working on it sometimes and try to get it to work. The big issue is that the Z18 uses avb2 which I'm not sure how to bypass and which is also why the Lineage I built will not boot correctly. I don't want to seem rude saying this over and over again, but rather than testing, it would help if I had some more people to get involved. Just download the source and follow the instructions I mentioned in post#4. Progress will be much faster if there was a team behind this and not only one guy who doesn't know what he's doing most of the time. Also getting support in the Lineage IRC is tedious because I can't be online 24/7, so having some more people nag about avb2 there would also be of huge help.
And when there finally is something to test, not only will you be satisfied by your own achievement, but you can also be the initial tester since you built the ROM yourself.
PS: The Gapps issue is probably because of avb2 as well, however I'm not too sure about that

OK I understand your situation, probably not as many ppl own this phone at all...there are many ppl doing developement in Oneplus 6 which I actually own that phone, the Z18 is actually my fd, therefore I cannot keep the phone long...just wonder if there have more ppl involve to this...the "avb2" I'll check to see if anyone on the net doing this, haha! the only solution is more developer involve to this phone!

As a quick update for everyone here as well because the discussion has somewhat shifted to the TWRP thread I worked around avb now. I also have a system.img but it's not working as of yet. If you want to get stuck in a boot loop, feel free to ask here and I'll attach the files in the OP for you to try and modify. Without building from source, there's probably not that much you can do though.

Thanks! Going to try that later but out of curiosity, isn't the reason this phone doesn't have google services out of the box that it wasn't certified by google? If so it's not treble compatible either right? Or am I missing something?

An uncertified device can be freely Treble compatible, so it's really worth to try. Remember to join the Telegram chat of phh-treble if you happen to need some quicker response.

Alright, I tried and I don't think it's working. I get stuck in a bootloop again which repeats every few seconds.
Since I got Lineage compiled, wouldn't it be a better idea to just get that working and be done with it?
Any help is much appreciated!

Hello curtisy, I wish you good luck with your work on the Nubia Z18. I'd love to help you, but unfortunately I have no skills at android developing. Anyway... in case you will get LineageOS to run, I'd be very happy to post an instruction for the installation on my website chinahandys.net. Liebe Grüße, Joscha

Booting non-GSI will only be tougher :/ Capture deep level logs and inspect that. If you need help, join a phh-treble chat somewhere.

Yeah that's actually the same point I stopped at with Lineage. Got it to boot to the Nubia logo, captured logs and I can see some weird errors. But getting replies on IRC is a pain, especially if I can only be online for 2hrs a day. That's why I had hoped someone would pick this up but to no avail. Guess I'll have to look into it again and experiment.
Thanks for your help so far! If there's any more tips you want to share, I'm always open for them

Hey, sure thing I actually know the site well and got the idea of getting a Z18 from your site. In case you know anyone that might be able to help with logs or anything, I'm always open for suggestions and help.
As a general rule of thumb, so far the process isn't exactly easy because it requires proprietary software. The issue is with boot verification, so to get around that, I rooted my phone with some Chinese Windows application (still trying to reverse that to get the actual keys..) then I could start flashing. The process is tedious though as every failure means reflashing the original rom as well as running the root tool again. I'll try to make it simpler and cross platform once the rom actually works. But it's still a long way to that point.

Create TWRP using Auto TWRP Porter.

Hi,
Today I am here with new post.
As you know I am now posting new posts daily.
Many of you have a phone that is less popular and there is no active developer for that device but did you know that there is a way that you can be a developer of your own.
There is team Hovatek that they made up a tool to make TWRP maker tool which you can use to make your own TWRP recovery for your phone and be an engineer of your phone but note that your phone must have common chipset on it like Mediatek, Spreadtrum, etc and your android version must be Android 5,6,7,8,8.1,9 otherwise you need to port it your self.
I am making this post for people like me to help them get a test of Custom recovery.
Thanks, Folk.
I will continue it on Part 2

Did you just say Mediatek and Spreadtrum are "popular" chipsets?
Lol, no, I don't think so.
Most real developers avoid devices with those processors.

[TWRP] REQUEST For Blackview BV9800Pro

Hi everyone,
After I received my BV9800 Pro I noticed that this smatphone's users are ALIVE on different forums and I am not feeling alone on the Earth with this smartphone ? so we already have a good root solution with Magisk, now we need working TWRP. With TWRP this beast will be even more awesome!
TWRP DEVELOPERS - WE (ALL BV9800Pro USRRS) ASK YOU TO MAKE TWRP AVAILABLE FOR US! CAN YOU DO IT GUYS?
As I have seen somewhere, You had TWRP for all MediaTek devices, unfortunatelly I didn't made it work (I think because of lack of knowledge I have).
If there is anyone who knows how to make it work - we welcome You ?

Ok, I will try to get other users on this thread.

Personally me too- i will donate too

Ok, So funny thing first...
So I have requested for TWRP on xda-developers.com, expected to get some voluntary help from guys, but have received a request to donate the amount of money required for developer to purchase this phone, so they could develope TWRP for it. And I thought... It's about 400€+, well You know (ehem...)....
Then I found this awesome service at Hovatek with customer support. They replied promptly and sent me working TWRP within a day or two for free, no donations required. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I HAVE EVER FOUND! If I will find myself in situation anytime in future - they are the first I will go with!!
Ok, so now, ladies and gentlemen, I share the link for You to TWRP by Hovatek: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32580-post-188379.html
P.S., PLEASE READ THIS SHORT THREAD IN THE LINK FULLY, TO AVOID ASKING WHAT I ALREADY ASKED THERE.
Oh, by the way, one user reported this works on BV9800 as well.
GOOD LUCK!

Who are those Hovatek from Nigeria though? I wouldn't trust anybody, without getting the source code as well.
If they are legit and all, shouldn't they push the source code to TWRP repo as well?

THIS THREAD IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION !!!! BUILD IS AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO ARE COMFORTABLE ! NO SUPPORT RIGHT NOW!!! CHECK LINEAGE THREAD FOR DIRECTIONS!!!
HI DARKO! / Marko Man
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEST RELEASE: Hey guys i killed two birts with one stone! i got omni going AND I FIXED THE FINGERPRINT SENSOR! for all custom roms. There is one downside though. as of this writing for fod to work a small "hack" is needed to fix the calibration status of the sensor (unlocking bootloader breask it) follow this gude:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...de-fix-persist-img-loss-finger-print-t4125909
I am working on LOS now. i have a working test build. just doing a clean one and uploading. I just wanted to get this out there...
NOW A WORD:
To the development community. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS? Ive been a RD since 2013 myabe 2014, I left the scene in 2017. when I did everyone was more then willing to share info, help each other, look over logs for each other. Now i litterally got the cold sholder from everyone. They were rude, they put me down, they treated me honestly,,, like a total n00b who doesnt even know what the grep command does... Some even purposely withheld information they had to slow me down. What happened? its a shame to see. Open source is amazing and the backbone of it is sharing information. Look in the mirror guys. its disheartening.
Anyways on to the build. Please be aware omni is different from other roms out for our device in that it doesnt modifiy the vendor partition. Thus flashing after flashing ANY OTHER CUSTOM ROM will result in a bootloop. You must either manually flash vendor.img and odm.img from stock via fastbootd, or use the msm tool or some other method to get back to stock, take teh latest ota, then flash omni on top. Please be aware vendor.imgs from before 10.0.36 will result in non working fp sensor

Happy to see you back, I forget what phone it was now but I was around when you left. Happy to see you working on this phone as I'm debating getting one but need an active development community to make it worth it. I thought OnePlus was usually where a lot of the development is happening these days. I'm guessing most of it is at the regular 7 Pro instead of 7T pro.

no , its for both , its just this is a Carrier exclusive variant so the amount of people with it is far less then a global model. heres a little secret, a lot of the oneplus 7tpro stuff (like modded kernels etc) can be flashed onto our variant.

How can I download this

Where should a noob begin if they want to make a ROM for the first time? What programs and languages are useful?
