Sorry guys, I've underestimated this hugely, just spoken to the EFIDroid team on Slack and this is never going to boot Windows without MS' help as, like the Pi 2's CPU, the MSM8226 CPU in the Moto G, like all Qualcomm CPUs, requires a HAL extension and custom drivers which are basically impossible to write without MS' source. So yeah, enjoy EFIDroid, it doesn't support Android booting yet, but hey, proof of concept of EFI on a phone! I'm leaving this thread alone now as I really am not the best person to ask, but if you have a question their Slack is great!
EFIDroid Port to Moto G 2013
Based on EFIDroid
EDIT: I know this has been ported to falcon already, but this image is up-to-date as of 17/04/16
Update: I compiled the app and whilst falcon is supported by EFIDroid, the app has not been updated for this. I'm therefore going to create a forked version of the app using my forked GitHub repo instead which adds back that support... hopefully the efidroid devs will add back in falcon to /ota soon

DO NOT FLASH, ONLY BOOT USING FASTBOOT BOOT [NAME].IMG - THIS CANNOT BOOT ANDROID YET!
Here's a clearer image of it.
Here's some instructions for people who wants to try it out..
Boot into fastboot mode
Type in fastboot boot imagefile.img
And you are done.
The touchscreen didn't seam to work. Also @androidonlinx, Good luck trying to boot windows RT or windows mobile because it's closed source.. That means you can't make your own version of it...
Anyways... Best Regards -Chris

I've built the installer APK which is just compiling now, I can upload soon.
RT should work - obviously without drivers of course
Couple of updates.... the install kinda works and does manage to install it but it's not booting up at the moment
Stuck on decompression, this could be down to lack of battery so I'm going to give it a good charge and see what happens from there. Both TWRP and Android show up in the menu, though.

That's good on the installer side.. But regarding Windows RT. To quote "RT cannot "run on any ARM-Based device" for one simple reason. Microsoft is not providing Windows 8 RT as a separate Software package and is ONLY available pre-installed on certified hardware." -- > http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-toshiba/b47e1b85-0cc7-4422-a1dc-23b38be1ba8d
Yes i do know that the moto g runs on a ARM Processor which is the Snapdragon 400..

Just use a little script. the boot partition is at /dev/mmcblk0p31 so you just dd the image over to it... For example
dd if=/sdcard/image.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p31
Or you could just use fastboot..
fastboot flash boot boot.img
There is really no need for an app...

Yeah, I had the idea that the app would allow me to boot Android but actually DDing the image results in inability to boot Android whatsoever, even after the original image is restored
I'm going to flash back to stock seeing as this isn't working, but I'll try again using fastboot boot instead
We could try Windows 10 Mobile take some image from a phone that has MSM 8226.

Just an idea. But couldn't you use a script to backup the original boot partition then replace it with your img. So when you press the android button it just loads that image file you backed up.. or you could just do some type of hybrid boot thingy that multirom does

The problem is there's no way to select an image as USB devices are not detected. This means that we have to install it to an internal partition first. I'm going to try get the Windows kernel to at least give output by putting boot.wim from the Surface RT recovery image on an internal NTFS partition, though I doubt this will work

I have very little Android experience and I've only got this to work by hacking various strings in the installer app and following a build tutorial. Whilst I could probably do the script on the Android side, I couldn't on the EFIDroid side.
I'm going to leave this as a PC-tethered boot then.
You need to flash it on a FAT32 partition because UEFI supports booting from FAT32 only.

The difficulty in that is finding a way to boot it - USB devices aren't supported and it won't accept a keyboard to interact with the EFI shell.
Unless someone has a Moto G to sacrifice Android off to just simply restore that image and fastboot EFIDroid to boot from it I don't think there's a way we can boot it
link removed
Might as well post the app I compiled - warning, potentially very dangerous, hugely hacky code, although it does install and boot it fails to load Android
Runs off the github repo /meagain0/ota which is cloned from the EFIDroid repo
EFIDroid cannot boot android yet so I'm not providing the link anymore, if you want the app go compile it yourself!

thank you for raping the project iam following since it had been started as grub4android.

https://github.com/efidroid/device/commit/8e781cd8bd4db78914c7cd6947dc7dde88f843c5
Raping the project? I just provided a prebuild binary as I thought it might be useful, porting it myself as I didn't see your port until afterwards.
If you want me to remove this or something then fine, but I just tried to make a helpful post.
Do you by any chance have any idea where I'm going wrong? I simply followed the porting to a new device tutorial - are those extra variables in your link necessary? Do you have a prebuild image in that case you could share?

(DISCLAIMER: Only for Windows 7 and Vista)
Things you will need
----------------------------
1- EasyBCD (to create boot configuration) - http://neosmart.net/Download/Register/1
2- Android x86 iso - http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/android-x86-4.3-20130725.iso
3- My MBR files http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2203408&stc=1&d=1377076042
4- iso extracting software (WinRAR or 7zip)
5- Paragon partition viewer (optional to view contents of ext3/2 partition) - http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-personal/
Steps
----------
1-Download all the files and install them.
2-Next you need to create a new partition for android installation if you don't already have one.
3-Go to device manager

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4-Then go to disk management
5-Create a new partition 2-5 GB recommended
6-Once you've finished creating the partition open EasyBCD > Add new entry > ISO > Choose the Android x86 iso path, and select load from memory.
7-Now you want to extract all the files in the Android x86 iso using 7zip or WinRAR to the hard drive C:/ or D:/ so it can boot.
8-When you're done you can now reboot your computer, the iso entry would show up in boot menu. boot up the Android x86 iso.
9-Choose 'installation - Install Android to hard disk'
10-Choose the new partition that you made it will always be the last one.
11-Now choose the filesystem, ext3 is recommended as it doesn't have maximum hard drive size like fat32 and it's the fastest.
12-Next question is whether to install boot loader Grub, (If you install this it would remove windows master boot record, but you can later install it if you want using EasyBCD)You need grub bootloader to boot android so Choose yes.
13-Now it will detect windows is already installed and add the boot entry to the grub bootloader so you can boot into windows. and it will start the installation.
14-When the installation is complete you will see a message to run android or reboot.
15-choose reboot and boot into windows.
16-Now open EasyBCD again > BCD Deployment > Install Windows vista/7 boot loader to the MBR > Write MBR (This will install windows master boot record again)
17-Then go to Edit Boot Menu, here you can change the boot entry name and count down time.
18-When you are done Click save settings and close EasyBCD
19-Then go to My MBR files(NST and ANG0) and extract them to C:/ (your system drive)
You have successfully dual booted Android x86 and Windows
Nice tutorial. But why would anyone install android on their computer? Installing it in a virtual machine would be safer and less troublesome.

Virtual machines run slower and have does not support some hardware . it would run extremely fast and smooth natively rather than an emulated one.
I booted it on my broken laptop(some keys didn't work on it) .. now I can use the android keyboard instead of my broken keyboard which is really useful.
it is as good as any other operating system for a computer you should definitely try it. It's can run all apps including ARM apps. the only problem I had with it was the portrait screen. I had to use a third party screen orientation changing app to lock it on landscape.

Fixed:
Had partitioned a section of my HD to install 4.4. Reading on android-x86.org found out that it wasn't even necessary to install if already using Linux, which I am. All I had to do was copy initrd.img, system.cfg kernel and ramdisk.img, created an empty directory called data to that partition that was manually formatted to an ext4. Edited my 40_custom menuentry to show 4.4 during bootup menu and it did the rest for me. Just for fun, also partitioned off another part of my drive called downloads so that I could have a emulated sdcard to share between linux and android-x86.
If anybody is interested in a more detailed explanation, they can check out my tut on my blog, not sure if I will get in trouble for posting the link, so.... I don't know, message me I guess, unless the moderator doesn't care.

FOr future referance, I suggest anybody doing this hack to use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore&hl=en
it is easy, you can backup to your sdcard and restore, make sure that your device is rooted and CWM is installed, this can be done with MTK Droid tools.

In point 7 what is the specifical hard drive; C:/ or D:/??
Thanks for nice guide, but it works only on systems which allow old way of booting (MBR).
Today I tried to do this on an ASUS UX31A, which only support UEFI and sadly even the newest beta of EasyBCD doesn't support grub booting on UEFI only system.
Issue is not only with EasyBCD, but also with Android-x86 itself. The installer doesn't support UEFI either. But I checked the iso and it contains EFI files, so I guess, there would be some manual way how to make it boot on EUFI only system.
Any idea how to do this? Manual install of Grub2 and copying of the ISO content to ext3 partition from some live Linux distro?

It is not problem when using included GRUB, but I can't make it running with Windows boot menu.

I think the problem is with GRUB, we need to put it at the partition with Android itself, not to the Windows boot partition. I'm running Win 10 + KALI linux this way and it is working perfectly.
Just wanna throw this out here:
Followed this tutorial using Windows 10 and Android x86 9.0 rc1, worked like a charm.

Disclaimer: I'm in now way, shape or form a developer. The following steps are to be used as a guideline for installing nethunter onto your device. If something goes wrong during the install/set up process, I won't be held responsible. By installing the roms/nethunter zips you're voiding your warranty so do so at your own risk.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nethunter is in short a set of apps for network penetration testing, you should only use these tools for testing your own network security or other networks YOU HAVE PERMISSION FOR! If you get caught using these tools illegally, do not come crying to me, I'll laugh in your face and point you to this thread.... That being said, let's get on with it.
You're going to need a rooted device for this to work, this thread isn't about rooting, if you're not yet rooted check out the other threads on XDA. Great community with plenty of topics showing you how to root. You have the options of:
cm-13.0 running on Marshmallow with kernel 3.4.111
Lineage-14.1 running on Nougat 7.1.2 with kernel 3.4.113
Both have fully patched kernels and whilst they all have a few issues (not related to the kernels or the first rom you install, check known issues below for updates), you should be able to use 99% of the functions. I'll list the issues at the bottom of this post and the steps to try and fix them if any.
Links
Cm-13.0 links:
CM-13.0: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634766544
Nethunter: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862723757
Lineage-14.1 7.1.2 links:
Lineage14.1:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862728021
Nethunter:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862723623
Install
Download and copy both of the above files to the root of your device along with the Gapps of your choice.
Reboot into recovery and wipe Dalvik, Data and Cache
Install the CM-13.0/Lineage-14.1 rom
Install Gapps
If you're S-off then reboot into your phone.
If you're S-on, extract the boot.img from the CM-13 file and place it in your fastboot folder.
Run the following command and reboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
After the boot.img has flashed, run the following command: fastboot reboot
After you've allowed your phone to boot fully, reboot back into recovery and install the nethunter file.
Be PATIENT!! The install can take up to half hour! Once the install has finished, reboot system and you should be golden.
If at any point during the install process TWRP asks you if you want it to install root, select the "Do not install" option. Nethunter will handle this for you.
That's it, you should be fully loaded with nethunter.
Features
HID is fully functioning on both versions.
Supported external wireless drivers are fully functioning. Check the useful links below to find supported devices.
Csploit
DroidDrive
Hackers Keyboard (This comes in so handy when using terminal)
Nethunter VNC
Nethunter Terminal
OpenVPN
Shodan
USB Keyboard
Known issues
Unless stated otherwise, any issue related to lineage-14.1 applies to both the android 7.1.1 version and the 7.1.2 version
Csploit on CM-13.: For some reason, nethunter installs an outdated cSploit for the marshmallow build. If you constantly receive an error message saying "No exploits found", uninstall cSploit and install the latest version from here: http://www.csploit.org/downloads/
cSploit arp poisoning on both cm13 and lineages14: Arp poisoning exploits aren't working for any MITM attacks, I've spoke to the devs and they've confirmed it is a bug, as soon as it's fixed, I'll update this thread.
HID Interface on both cm13 and lineage14: If you have no HID interfaces showing in the nethunter home panel. Open an exploit that uses HID (rubberduck will suffice) and launch an attack, don't worry about plugging your phone into your computer. It's sheerly for forcing nethunter to check the relevant directories for HID interfaces. Once you've launched an attack, they should appear.
Terminal crashing on Lineage14: If your terminal keeps crashing when you try to start it, long press your home screen to bring up the active apps tabs. Close the terminal, open the main nethunter app and wait for it to be granted root privileges, now minimize and try opening the terminal again. For some reason, the terminal requires the nethunter app to be open and with root.
Rubberduck HID not launching attacks: Connect to your target computer, change the USB connection to MTP for file transfer and also enable ADB via the developer menu. Try again
Useful links
Official nethuner wiki: https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/wiki
There's a link on there titled "known working hardware" that's where you can check if your wireless card is supported.
Official cSploit wiki: https://github.com/cSploit/android/wiki
Again, links on the page full of useful information.
Kernels:
For some reason, trying to just flash the kernel to an already installed rom doesn't work, so if you'd like to try and build the zImage into your boot.img fell free to.
3.4.111: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767158370
3.4.113: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862724031
Thanks and credits
@9Lukas5 for letting me use his kernel
@AndroGeek974 both the cm-13 and lineage-14.1 roms are his, with my kernels and nethunters.
@ZpanicZ The cm-13 nethunter build is his.
Screenshots
Can i use only internal card wireless for airmon-ng start wlan0 ? Or i need external one with otg cable
99% certain the answer will be no if you intend to use it in monitor mode. There's a device that does support monitor mode on the internal card but can't remember what one it was. You can always try it by opening a terminal and typing the following:
Airmon-ng start wlan0
If it works then you'll see a new interface pop up called:
Wlan0mon
I wouldn't hold my breath though, you're better of getting a cheap otg off eBay for a couple of quid and get an external wireless card. There's a link in the first post to the nethunter wiki, they have a list of devices that have been confirmed as working.
Just for your reference. The may unofficial CM14.1 based off 7.1.2 is at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862723521

Perfect, cheers, downloading it now. May try it out tonight, prob be tomorrow though.
Update
Updated to include the latest lineage-14.1 build running on android 7.1.2, I'm still testing it but the same issues listed in the first post seem to be present with no other issues appearing!

Awesome to hear that. Take your time dude. Understand this fixes many rom issues except for Bluetooth which is still funky. Left my m7 at work so can't do anything this weekend. Bummer.

haha unlucky!! I'd be tempted to drive back and get it
Yeah the bluetooth doesn't like my headset on this build, doesn't find it in pairing mode at all! The rom does seem a lot more stable for sure though.

Haha. Work is too much of a drive for me over the weekend. Should I dirty flash from your earlier release? Or spotless I do a full wipe and start anew?

One of the perks of working from home, I only have to drive to the storage unit to collect my eBay orders, other than that I get to spend the rest of my time at home.
Think you have to do a clean flash mate, I tried a dirty flash when I was testing the kernels and although it said it went fine with no errors, when I flashed the nethunter build, none of the apps were showing. I then done a clean flash and everything was working fine. Although, if you do try a dirty flash and it works, let me know please :good:
Some one help me step by step .
i have htc s-on hboot 1.61
When i flash rom i reboot full boot phone
And coming back to recouvery and flashing nethunter . but when i run nethunter app terminal cruch .. Please some one telp hiw to make it true step by step and sorry for my bad english

Thanks for trying it out first. I have also tried dirty flash . It's the same, no go. Everything boots up fine but none of the nethunter apps are showing although the kernel is able to show the hidg devices as checked using adb. The apps are all not showing. Bummer. Doing a full flash now. Hopefully we can easily update to the new daily builds so I don't have to do a full wipe of the device each time. Let me know if there's anything else I can help test it with.
Btw how did you modify the 0501 unofficial build to your 0.0.1 file?

There are steps in the OP for S-ON devices . You need to do a few more steps to get it going
-----
If you're S-on, extract the boot.img from the CM-13/14 file and place it in your fastboot folder.
Run the following command and reboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
After the boot.img has flashed, run the following command: fastboot reboot
After you've allowed your phone to boot fully, reboot back into recovery and install the nethunter file.
After flashing rom 7.1.1 should i go back to fastboot imidiatly and flashing boots.img or let the phone boot fully and then going back to fastboot and flash boot.img ?

aye, I'm not quite sure why we're not able to dirty flash, I know when the nethunter app updates you'll get a message next time you open the nethunter main app asking if you want to update, it then downloads the latest apk so you're able to update the nethunter apps. But for some reason, you're not able to just flash the boot.img over a existing install or dirty flash! Annoying I know but I'm not a developer so am stuck on that bit.
As for renaming the build, after I built the kernel, I used a program called android kitchen, extracted the boot.img from the build, then extracted the zImage and ramdisk file, replaced the zImage with mine, repacked and rebuilt the rom whilst renaming.

Go back to fastboot immediately, once the rom and gapps have finished installing, DO NOT BOOT INTO SYSTEM! Boot into bootloader and run the following commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once it's done flashing the boot image, run the next cmd:
fastboot reboot

if at any point during the install process, twrp or your other custom recovery asks if you want it to root, select DO NOT INSTALL..
Wait for the phone to have one full boot after issuing the reboot command before install nethunter.

Cool to know that. I am quite familiar with Kali Linux but am not as familiar with the internals of Android. Learning something new everyday. There are tons of Y-cables on Amazon, not sure if they are all the same and I should simply buy the cheapest one. Definitely need one to power mouse/keyboard/hdd

I paid £12.99 for mine from maplins just because I wanted it that day haha, my patience is non existent when it comes to waiting on things in the post. To be honest though I suppose as long as it does what it says on the tin then I'd get the cheapest.
I've got kali and windows 7 as a dual boot, bit of a strange one with kali though, when I installed it with my external graphics card, it would crash and kill my session as soon as I tried to do anything graphic intensive! Worked out it was the external graphics card, so removed it, went to download and install the drivers for it, soon as I tried to install it, the GUI said that it couldn't detect a card (obviously it wasn't plugged in). I tried to plug it back in and install the driver again, then it just killed my session and logged me out like it was before so I'm now having to run onboard graphics! No idea why it was doing that but meh, both windows and kali are running fine with onboards so not to bothered!
I was using kali back when it was called backtrack 4!! Great little distro for testing networks, currently studying for the CEH exams, dream job to be a certified pen tester. Suppose that's why it only took the week to learn all about kernel compiling with toolchains and so on, always been a quick learner, especially when it comes to technology! A computer will only do what it's told to do, so if somethings not working then you just have to find out what went wrong, 99% of the time the developers always code in a escape to a debug log so you can find a fix and apply it!!
If you want any help with kernel compiling, feel free to drop me a pm and we can sort out adding each other on Skype or something, make it a bit easier to communicate. Now I've learnt the basics of it, it's a lot lot easier than it sounded!
This was a great video that explained kernels in a really good informative way!

I have already dropped you a PM about the rom packaging and kernel compiles. No hurry. Let me know when's a good time for us to get something going. Btw a new unofficial build just dropped for 0506 . Seems to have been reported to fix the bluetooth issues we are getting.

Can't seem to get the Youtube link working. (Embedded one does not work, but it works using a separate browser tab, so it's ok)
New 0515 unofficial build out. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120732208
Introduction
This is the LineageOS 17.0 (non-GSI) port for K-touch i9 a.k.a Anica i9. Due to the lack of kernel source code, this port comes with a prebuilt kernel image, but the ramdisk has been updated to support a proper System-as-Root system partition as is required by Android 10.
This is ONLY compatible with the MT6739 variant of this phone.
About the phone
The K-touch i9 is an ultra-mini phone produced by K-touch (Ktouch / Anica) based on the MT6739 SoC. I got the phone purely due to its interesting size (similar to the Palm phone) and the desire to port real custom ROMs to it to see if they can work well. I mainly use it as a backup phone, so this port might not be thoroughly tested enough for daily drive.

Flashing instructions
1. Unlock the phone (reboot to bootloader by holding volume up on boot, run `fastboot flashing unlock` and confirm)
2. Flash TWRP image from here
3. Reboot to recovery (hold volume up and choose Recovery accordingly)
4. Backup all stock partitions whatever way you like (especially boot / vendor)
5. Flash this LOS 17 port image and format data
6. Reboot and enjoy
Please note that after flashing this LOS 17 image, you have to restore the stock boot.img before being able to install A-only Android 10 GSIs again. Although you MIGHT be able to boot phh A/B GSI 10 on the boot.img of this LOS 17 port, please note that this is not tested and you still need to shrink the image size before phh GSIs can work -- the same as the A-only situation.
Why not GSI
There is no reason why not to use a phh GSI on this phone, given that phh GSIs work pretty well and I have actually fixed a few bugs for it too and I absolutely love it. However we can't play with some certain things, for example, transitioning to System-as-Root, in a GSI, and that's why I started this port just for fun. Also this device has such a small system partition that GSIs won't work out-of-the-box and require some manual adjustments just for the device, which kind of defeats the purpose. Nevertheless, I will contribute my fixes to GSIs so that things will work as well on GSIs as on my device-specific ROM ports.

It works here. It links to a GitHub release page where you can download recovery.img for TWRP
Hi,
I bought this phone, but with different CPU- MT6580, 5MP camera at the back, would this ROM be compatible with it well?
I've tried to flash the TWRP recovery, but it failed - "FAILED (remote: size too large)" so it mean the recovery image not compatible with my phone?
This device is really nice, but huge let down by the operation sys. The battery drain really fast, always "phone idle" take place at the top of battery consuming chart.
Thank you!
hi, i have tried to flash the twp from your github site. i get an error that flashing was FAILED, file is too large. my unit is Ktouch/anica i9s with October 2019 update.
is there any chance you can upload the original recovery.img as well pls.. thank you.

Based on the previous comment before you, you seem to have the MT6580 version of the phone. This means you have a different and smaller gpt than the one from the OP that uses MT6739. You can't flash this ROM or any recovery from the MT6739 since they have different hardware and different partition layout. If you flash something, it will end with a nice brick
Cheers!

You boot into the original OS and the recovery will be back.
Thank you for this ROM.
I used it on my K-touch i10. Its the same as the i9 but the shape is slightly different.
I have the 3gb - 64gb version and it seems OK.
I had to use BiTGApps-Q for Playstore to appear.
I also had to go into the USB developer options to set up file transfer from a PC.
And no wallpaper app from holding on home screen.
I hope you keep this up to date else I might have to try and work out how to apply security patches.
Thanks again
EDIT. Oh so are you saying I could just try and install the GSI?
Edit. OK so Wellbeing and problems with Gapps is to do with Android 10 and gapps.
I also found twrp hard to control. The swipe action and pressing near the edge was difficult.
I don't have face recognition to unlock, not sure if that's because lineage os doesn't have it or the i9 doesn't, but certainly possible on my i10.
The swipe action in lineage is also difficult.
Thanks again. Just want to let you know.
Edit. Also a problem for me is when it's charging, touch screen gives the odd ghost press when used.
Ive found forcedoze useful with this phone.
Works with K-Touch M16?
Theoretically speaking this Rom should work in the K-Touch M16 as it has the exact same specs, processors, etc. Being the only difference is that it has a fingerprint sensor.
So I was wondering does anyone know if this custom ROM and TWRP works on the K-Touch M16.?
how do i download this rom. there are no active links available!

From the first post
m16 tried
I have tried this with my M16, which is very similar to i9, same cpu same spec, got fingerprint though... no luck, unable to boot into recovery, anyone successfully done?
It worked with my K-touch i10.
I guess you should start looking at TWRP. If you have the same processor you should be able to get TWRP going.
Sorry no help here, maybe try a TWRP forum or something.
chinese bootloader
hi, i just got the phone so i wanted to flash this rom. but my bootloader is in chinese and i don't speak/read chinese.
can anyone here please help me get trough the bootloader so i do all the steps correctly.
i attached the picture from bootloader and also what google translate offers for translation.
does volume up and down works correctly on your devices? on my it just jumps one step down and up on ether up key or down key when i press and hold the key ti gradually turns volume up on ether up or down key.
I have an i10 and am no expert.
When I reboot and hold up-volune I get 3 options. Recovery, Fastboot and Normal in that order.
Are you sure your phone is the mt3769. As I had an i10 which was was MT6580 and I got those options. I did have Fastboot though. Sorry don't still have it for reference.
I just found out on youtube this menu should pop up when you press volume down + power on. But on my phone it also boots to this menu when i press volume up + power on. Guess i received defective volume buttons on my phone. Too bad as it is such a nice little phone.
Are you able to use the volume keys to move up and down the menu you took a picture of? Moving in this menu and selecting should be the up and down volume keys. Guess then you could see for sure if you have a key problem.
I did manage to take my phone apart as when I dropped it I managed to disconnect the screen cable inside but was lucky to be able to fix it.

i am unable to enter the correct bootloader that gives you three options you mentioned before. i already contacted the seller to see what we can do cause i just received the phone. on this chinese menu i can navigate only down (pressing volume up or down moves the selection down) and i can select the item via power button.
Hi,
So long i've dont active my account on XDA Developers because my studies. Finally i've found to update Oukitel K9 by using Treble Img

Please make sure you have download Generic GSI from Google and already unlocked bootloader.
Here the link ( Download Generic GSI )
Choose ARM64+GMS / ARM64, if you want to flash android Q treble rom, just download Android Q only.
Let's start it.
1. Flash to stock firmware using MTK Tools
2. Extract vbmeta.img from Generic GSI.
3. Connect to usb to device (enter fastboot mode) hold volume up and power button, choose fastboot mode.
4. Type this and make sure using generic vbmeta.img
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
5. Next erase file system
Code:
fastboot erase system
6. a) Flash file system
Code:
fastboot flash system ######.img
# = your file system name
or
6. b) Using TWRP > Flash> Click image> find img to flash> Select system>then swipe to flash
7.
Code:
fastboot -w
8.
Code:
fastboot reboot
PLEASE TAKE NOTE OUKITEL K9 IS A/B DEVICES
Test
Working GSI:
system-quack-arm64-ab-gapps.img.xz
Evolution X , Lineage 17.1 - All Working
Havoc 3.3 - RIL bugs, no simcard detect
All GSI Rom list you can find here : Phhusson GSI

I've flashed stock Android 9 using SP Flash Tool, is that what you're talking about when you say 'MTK Tools'?
Step #3 - My PC doesn't recognize my device. (see #2 below)
A few other questions:
1) What build number are you coming from? I'm on OUKITEL_K9_V21_20190524
From what I've read there was some sort of 'lock' put in place at around that time so that only certain firmware could be flashed.
2) Fastboot? on a MTK device? I thought that was impossible too, even though it canbe put in to Fastboot mode by holding Vol+&PWR. I'm new to MTK devices so am very much a newb.
3) The link you provided correct? It takes me to the page for Android 11 GSI's, but the video shows Android 10
4) At bottom you have generic GSI linked—which one to flash, the one linked at top or bottom?
Also, perhaps worth mentioning, I've successfully temporary-rooted using this method from @diplomatic

Sorry for this.
Use fastboot mode on windows. You can find this on others thread using cmd.
I suggest you flash img using twrp for more faster.
3) Yes, i will check later.
4) All linked has work on our devices. I will update what rom has worked.
thanks

Thanks for the reply, but the question remains,
Which firmware version did you start with?
I believe the bootloader is locked on my device, no fastboot.

The vbmeta generic file is needed http://www.mediafire.com/file/lpdpocvn76n7cyo/vbmeta.img/file
The rom is https://www.mediafire.com/file/i9jo...20200413-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img/file
The Trebel test app stated the my Oukitel k9 was A only I found out it is A/B this rom works.
Also after flashing Lineage 17 there is not enough space for Gapps. Solution after flash reboot recovery again go to wipe select system select repair then adjust size of partition. Then reboot to recovery again then flash Gapps. I have successfully flashed Gapps stock and works great. Note I flashed Magisk last. So far this GSI works great, better than the phones original. Xposed works! Gravity box beta 6 works. Apps now auto start properly.
Thank you.
Thanks

My Oukitel K9 is A-Only partition when I use Treble checker. Every guide seems to reference A/B for the Oukitel K9. Mine is not or at least it is being reported incorrectly.
How do I update to a custom rom when I have only A-Partition? The stock image is so buggy it's almost unusable.
Thanks!

You can try A partition images.

Is the process any different? I found the following list of files:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-17.x/
It shows Treble A only image as an option. Mine supports Treble but not seamless updates due to the A-only partition.
Will the image listed above work with the normal guides? Do I need the vbmeta.img for the Oukitel K9?
I'm very new to this so I'm afraid to mess it up.

you can try both, but i think our k9 is A/B partition.
yes you need vbmeta.img

I have tried 4 different Treble checking apps and they all say Treble supported but seamless updates not supported because A-only partition exists.
This is a Oukitel K9 OUKITEL_K9_V21_20190524
Wonder why everyone else seems to have A/B and I only have A.

How do you verify you are A/B? Mine says A only on 4 different treble apps. Is there a way to verify for sure? I have a Oukitel K9.

You can try it first both partition. If not boot, try another partition. :fingers-crossed:
Everything seems to work except hotspot
The no verity, Lineage rom a/b, vbmeta, resizing system partition size, installing stock gapps all works making this one of the nicest roms I have worked with. The only issue I find so far I cannot get the mobile Hotspot to stay on. Mobile Hotspot works in safe mode. I did a fresh install and does the same. Modded buildprop, no results. Installed module tether enabler, no results.
Mobile Hotspot switches off right away. Any ideas?

It is this one a/b I have not seen any other variants. Both Global and Chinese have same partition setup. Yes I have tried a only and doesn't boot.
How do I check? I've tried the ADB SHELL commands and it returns an empty line. The article said it would show TRUE if it did. All it returns is an empty line. I have yet to find any app that shows my Oukitel K9 is A/B. All of them say it is not.

If recovering to stock is easy, I guess I can dive in and try the A/B image and see if it works.

use the lineage ab... it is ab. Make sure to do the no verity first with vbmeta line. Then flash lineage ab the file is not clear it states b. I tried them all see my post for direct download.
Same result

I have same firmware, K9 OUKITEL_K9_V21_20190524, and same results for Treble check (see screenshots for info).
Also, device not recognized using fastboot.
Code:
adb devices
OUKITELK90007961
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
success; 'FASTBOOT mode. . .' on phone
Code:
fastboot devices
blank line
From what I understand, this is because our devices' bootloaders are locked; and there is nothing we can do to change that, period. So, no flashing anything but stock. I hope I'm wrong, and someone more knowledgeable corrects me, but I'm pretty sure this is correct.
For now I'm just stuck, and using temporary root as mentioned in previous post.

Amlogic G12*/SM1 Family Devices
Code:
- Your warranty is now void.
- You have been warned.
- Use at your own risk.
Introduction:
This is the Official Lineage OS 19.1 thread for the Amlogic G12*/SM1 SoC family of devices.
Downloads:
Please follow the install instructions in your device's Wiki page linked below exactly, and make sure your device's firmware matches the required firmware listed:
Official Builds:
deadpool - Google ADT-3
wade - Dynalink TV Box (4K)
Disclaimer: My unofficial builds have full Android TV Google Apps and some other goodies included. OTA's roll roughly once a month. Support not guaranteed or implied.
Unofficial Builds:
deadpool - Google ADT-3
dopinder - Walmart Onn UHD Box
sabrina - Chromecast with Google TV
wade - Dynalink TV Box (4K)
We also support a few development boards, but at least (for now, until we have time to write up instructions), you're on your own to figure out the install process and set things up:
m5 - Banana Pi M5
odroidc4 - Odroid C4
radxa0 - Rock Pi Radxa Zero
EDIT: The development boards don't boot on LineageOS 19.1 at the moment for some reason, we're looking into it.
If you don't follow these instructions, or use 3rd party add-ons (like Magisk) please don't expect support here.
Known Bugs:
Recent apps/Multitasking menu doesn't launch.
(sabrina only) The remote firmware sometimes gets hung up, you can reboot to solve this issue.
(dopinder/sabrina) L1 is currently broken, this is what is holding up official builds for these devices.
Notes:
GApps are baked in on Unofficial builds - No, I will not be building without GApps included for this device. These builds are built, packaged, and signed by me, and not affiliated with LineageOS whatsoever.
Firmware is shipped in the ROM package for this device, so you'll end up on the newest version of compatible firmware after install. Please don't touch firmware partitions after install.
On the unofficial OTA is provided the same way officials would have them.
Find any more on an official build? Report them according to this guide.
FAQ:
Does L1 Widevine DRM break when I unlock my bootloader?
Nope, it works fine. L1 certificates, and the mechanism that reports is all still exist and work as expected.
Can I haz Netflix?
Yup! Play Store has it for you. Unless you're on dopinder or sabrina, but that will be fixed soon hopefully.
Is this Android TV or Google TV?
Android TV, with some of the better components of Google TV.
Can I go back to stock and relock the bootloader?
Yeah, grab the factory image for your device and flash it just like you would for a Pixel device, you can find the factory images here. Don't know it I'd relock though, consider that process largely untested on these device. Especially on sabrina, where you can't necessarily re-unlock should you ever want to.
Are these the stock codenames for these devices?
Astute observation, no, they are not. The ADT-3 is actaully `adt3`, but earlier in production is was `deadpool`, which is much cooler. The Dynalink box internally is extremely similar to the ADT-3, so we coined it `wade` after Wade Wilson, AKA deadpool. The Onn box is in the same family, but different enough to coin it `dopinder`, after, well, go watch Deadpool the movie I guess. sabrina is actually the codename given by Google - no clue as to the reason.
Does it pass SafetyNet?
Maybe - the only sure fire way it Magisk, as our boot loader is unlocked and can't be relocked safely.
Does the stock remote work?
Yup, just like it would on stock, in-remote-microphone and all! If it's an IR remote like wade's, it will even work in recovery!
Can we we support higher resolution than 4K, higher FPS, or HDR on non-certified screens?
Nope.
I have a very similar device! Can I install these builds and use them?
No. Please don't do that. You will brick your device, as we include firmware and bootloader images.
If you're a developer looking to help port to a new device, contact me.

i probably will write up install instructions for the `BananaPi-M5` and `Odroid C4` Soon™
its a bit more complicated than just booting into recovery and flashing it unfortunately
I managed to install this on the onn 4k tv box (I used a usb keyboard and flash drive in the recovery) and everything went fine while installing but now I'm just stuck at the boot animation. I've left it on for at least 30 minutes and it never goes anywhere. Here's the serial log: https://paste.ee/p/7PAxS
It pretty much just stops there except for the occasional healthd battery message.
Do these builds support Signature Spoofing to replace GApps with MicroG?

No, as MicroG doesn't emulate what Android TV needs. Different GMSCore.

yeah, aware of the issue, it's video firmware not loading, building new builds now.
But for what it's worth, you don't need a keyboard or drive - you can adb sideload it over usb - easiest method, just like the wiki describes.

Sad. I vaguely recalled something about that, but couldn't find any concrete proof when asked.
Please consider releasing the full Android as it was with Shield TV. I believe it will be in demand, given the negative attitude of a lot of power users towards Android TV.

I couldn't figure out how to navigate the recovery menu. I tried the button on the side like in the stock recovery but pressing it did nothing and holding it would change the highlight color to green but it didn't actually run the option that was highlighted. It was detecting the button presses (there were keyevents in the serial log) so it isn't just a broken button. I tried doing adb sideload without selecting the option but I just got `adb: sideload connection failed: closed`

Sounds good. One more question, is this build using a 64-bit kernel? I'd like to use the app for my drone on a big screen and this box would've been perfect if the stock kernel wasn't 32-bit.

64-bit kernel, 32-bit userspace - aiming to do 64 bit userspace someday.

I flashed the two (I got them from here) and now the button and usb otg don't work at all. I tried to flash back to stock but the box got stuck on the can't load android system screen and it was ignoring all my attempts at interacting with it (it was even ignoring Ctrl+C in uboot), but luckily I managed to boot into the lineage os recovery by putting it on a flash drive and holding down the button then wiping /misc thru the serial console.

Is there any way to activate sideload mode through adb shell or the serial console? Again, since the button isn't working (still works in uboot so it isn't a hardware issue) with the new dtb I can't navigate through the recovery menu.

I'll go grab an Onn box at Walmart tmrw afternoon.
I know it works as 3 of our developers have and use it.
Just a matter of install process it seems...
