[GUIDE][TWRP][ROOT] Oukitel C4 TWRP (by Jemmini) & (systemless) Root - Android General

DISCLAIMER: all operations descripted here should be done *only* by trained & expert guys... as every "hacking" operations, they involve the risk of soft/hard bricking your device making it unusable temporary or permanently. I will not be responsable in any way for it. So, pay attention and, if not sure, simply don't do it.
WARNING #1: this is a fast guide describing needed steps and providing needed files only for expert guys. It is *not*suitable* for newbies who need detailed instructions on how to install drivers, programs, flash partitions, etc...
WARNING #2: on this phone there are (strangely...) close ties between boot.img and recovery.img content. This involves that changing contents of recovery.img can produce bootloop and changing contents of boot.img can prevent to access recovery too, creating a soft brick condition. I don't know exactly why, BUT you are warned.
WARNING #3: the procedure and files provided are *only* for ROM1 firmware version 14 of 13 Aug 2016. It is indicated as OUKITEL_C4_V14.0_20160813 in "About phone" and as t637d-oq-s08-fdd3m-hd-64g8g-sd internally. If you are on a differently indicated version and/or release date, *don't*even*think* about trying to apply the provided files: bootloops and (at least) soft bricks are easy coming, expecially because of warning #2...
WARNING #4: all provided files are in .zip format only due to forum rules and limitations. They *all* need to be *unpacked* before use them.
CREDITS: this TWRP recovery has been compiled by Jemmini on 4PDA forum. Since of the Russian only language of that forum and the very hard way to subscribe on it for not Russians (needed to download files too...), I'm reporting it here with more explanations and my hints & experiences too...
Said that... Let's start! :highfive:
IF (and *only* if...) your firmware version is reported as OUKITEL_C4_V14.0_20160813 in your phone, these are the steps to follow:
- unlock your bootloader (no special code needed, just enable the apposite option slider in Developers section of Settings and unlock it by the standard fastboot command in fastload mode... you need adb, fastboot and adb/fastboot drivers installed in your pc obviously )
Please remember that, as ever, unlocking your bootloader will factory reset your phone (and void your warranty...), so take it in proper account....
- using SP Flash Tool (recent versions since of the new MT6737 used in C4... tested one is the v.5.1644, just Google for it) just flash the provided twrp-c4.img (by Jemmini on 4PDA) selecting "Download only" on top, using the provided scatter file and selecting only the recovery row (browsing to twrp-c4.img file). Then press Download button and connect your phone in OFF status. If all was OK and you have MTK drivers properly installed (Google for them... search for MT6737 drivers. To test them just try to connect your phone to PC as storage to check if it is properly seen...), you should see a green checking sign "v" on top of SP Flash tool.
If nothing happens, try to reinstall drivers and/or doublecheck your phone is in OFF status when connected.
- don't try to boot to system now. It simply doesn't anyway.
For some unknown reason connected to warning #2, flashing twrp introduces a bootloop (soft brick...) on this phone.
Nothing to be worried of anyway: systemless rooting will fix it!
To root simply flash by TWRP (yes, you need to enable /system modification on first twrp boot...) SuperSU v.2.78 "standard" version in zip format (just Google for it...).
For standard is intended the released one, not SRx or "forced to system" one... (tested version is SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip) .
Just remember that, since of unability to boot system before flashing SuperSU, its zip have to be already on your device before flashing TWRP. Otherwise you can use a microSD card to flash from it...
If you do all fine you now have your rooted & TWRP 3.0.2-x provided Oukitel C4!!! :highfive:
If you are in a bootloop condition you aren't able to fix, just turn off your phone and, ever using SP Flash Tool in the same way, simply reflashing stock boot.img and recovery.img (both provided as zipped-to-to-be-unzipped attachment for... emergency reasons ).
After, if you want, you can install Xposed (in system mode) or busybox by app (it will be automatically installed in systemless mode since of supersu installation method...).
Don't even try to install Magisk v.9 instead: it will not work and will produce a soft brick (with no recovery access too...) that will requires a boot.img and recovery.img reflashing to be solved (with all this procedure to be redone one more time...).
This said... if you have questions... I'm here to answer them. Otherwise... have a nice time with your TWRP provided and systemless Rooted Oukitel C4!!! :fingers-crossed:

Reserved. :silly:

Can you please provide the 4PDA forum link of TWRP for this phone? Thanks for your post anyways

Added in OP. Don't expect to find more anyway...

I can confirm that this TWRP build also works fine with the newest OUKITEL_C4_V17.0_20161124 Firmware. Important: before flashing TWRP disable your boot lock code, otherwise you will softbrick your device.
Entec do you have an 4pda Account? If yes it would be really awesome if you could add the second TWRP recovery image for oukitel phones with the Rxx_xxxx ROM to OP.
EDIT:
I successfully installed XPOSED on my C4! This rocks the **** out of an 50 EUR budget phone!

Hello thank you for your information, could you provide us also TWRP for 32bits version (R06), I have tried to download from de forum but file is not avalaible.

We need someone with 4PDA Account....
However, have you tried to install the 64Bit rom? You can get the Stock 64 Bit Rom from needrom.com. I advise you to do the software update before flashing TWRP linked in this thread.

Hello thank you I have flashed 64 bits Rom and updated to V17, now all OK with TWRP and SuperSU.
Seam 64 bits version more slow than R06, but OK.
Thanks.

Hello I have tried to use native sip editing the files in /system/etc/permissions but the option is not available in phone menu. Someone know how to activate?

I managed to create an account on 4pda.ru and downloaded twrp for all firmware versions!
Files are attached!
Use twrp_recovery_C4_V.zip if your phone uses the OUKITEL_C4_VXX.X_XXXXXXXX firmware (Tested with OUKITEL_C4_V17.0_20161124)
Use twrp_recovery_R0x.zip if your phone uses the R0X_XXXXXX firmware. (Tested with R06_102033)

Where is OUKITEL_C4_V17.0_20161124 firm now?
I can't find it at needrom.com.

Thank you. twrp_recovery_R0x installed successfully.
However, in my environment, I needed the latest version of SP_Flash_Tool_v 5.1712_Win.
With other versions of sp_flash_tool, I did not succeed any number of times.

You also see your SIP account as "additional SIM Card" when Opening the dailer!

Good!
took weeks breaking my head up late at night from surfing the net to find some way to rooting this stunning smartphone. But I've been stuck due to no knowledge of ADB commands and of course having no Chinese idea, since supposedly there's an app that automatically Root the phone, but I can not make it work.
Having my disability, I share with you all the information and resources I've got to give you hope someone knows the correct usage.
And it is a shame that a HIGH terminal does not remove all power performance not ROOT and therefore can not set you GAPPS

People on the River would be Happy to give from a remote location.

Freedom and Democracy shouldn't mean being jailed within some digital cell while paying for acquiring it: Amendments.
Can anyone give detailed directions?
I just got the device. I tried installing a google play store apk (tried a few different versions) all installed but none work.
How can I install the play store? Do I have to root the device? If so, are there detailed (English) instructions somewhere?
Someone knows if the Mobileuncle MTK Tools can root zte v5? I need to find a" one-click" app...
Partial success
I have installed the rom from needrom for the N5 android v 4.2.2. Took a while to flash the recovery, which is in chainese (driver issues). But still have serious connections issues:
The 3G network disconnects on restart and takes forever to reconnect. Wifi doesn't work! Built in keyboard is awful and also... chainese!
But it is rooted and has the google apps.
Does any one recommend a better combination of recovery and rom?
This is my wife's phone and she is having a lot of trouble with it.

I Followed downloaded the files from the dropbox posted upper in this thread. and followd the instructions in the previous page. Pay special attention to installing the driver for the divice. As soon as it reboots into bootloader it requires another driver.
Also if you must not restart the phone before flashing the rom otherwise it won't last.

This is a good budget device when compared to other devices from lead manufacturers like Samsung, Sony, LG or Huawei.
While searching on the internet I did find some Root & CWM installation methods.
I will be updating the relevant posts as and when needed.
You can look in the list below for what you want to do with your device.
ATTENTION!!! READ THIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend, there are two versions of this device in the market:
1. A706 (Chinese model)
2. A706_ROW (International Model)
The ROMs in this thread are only for the A706ROW model of this phone unless otherwise stated.
If you have the chinese model or another model A760 (which is a different model) then the ROMs in this thread are not for you.
Model A706 and A760 are two different models with almost same specifications. This DOES NOT mean that the ROMs of A706ROW are compatible with A760.
Please DO NOT confuse Lenovo A706 with Lenovo A760 as these are two different devices!!! Flash or experiment at your own risk!!!!
If you share a ROM link for any of the above devices, then please mention clearly the device for which the ROM can be used.
What to do with your Device ?
-------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER:
---------------------
Rooting your device VOIDS your warranty. Remember if you are doing this, it is at your own sole responsibility
and I cannot be held responsible for any damage to your device, data loss, or any personal injury as a result of your actions.
And, If you still feel it is worth the effort, proceed with caution!
FOR NOOBS
--------------------
Read the instructions (click on SHOW to read) before attempting anything from the list below!
First you need to have the Android SDK installed on your computer. Or atleast you need to have the adb & fastboot files available on your computer.
Here's a good post that tells you how to setup ADB and fastboot.
Here's a post that has a list of adb/shell commands for noobs.
Ok, once you are done with the setup of ADB & fastboot on your computer, then you can proceed with the below instructions.
--------------------
IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE FLASHING:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, I have noticed that many people after buying the phone are flashing any firmware to their phones and most of the time without checking the phone versions and the OS versions. In the stock firmware post, I had mentioned that people having the Chinese version of the phone should NOT flash the ROW (international) firmware otherwise it would mess up their phone and network etc.
SOLUTION FOR SIM ERROR & DOWNGRADING TO CHINESE ROM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, some of the people have already done such a mistake and for those people (who are having SIM or network problems and want to go back to chinese ROM, I am sticking this post by danyno1 to the OP:

Ok trying again to put my chinese device in ROW rom with sim signal, and found a solution:
1:Flash via droidboot a chinese stock firmware I used the 130325
2:Rooted device with vroot and installed CWM Recovery via ADB
3:In the procedure to install custom rom Qneon one of the steps is to flash boot.img via fastboot... well I just didn´t do this step and flashed directly Qneon_1.7.1.zip via CWM
4: Did data/factory reset, cache reset and dalvik cache reset
5:Reboot system
An Ready! Finally got my chinese device in spanish and sim signal.

CWM Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------------------
Make sure you have all the drivers for your phone installed on your computer. Download for A706 from here. Some other Qualcomm drivers (not sure if required)
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled, Install from Unknown Sources is enabled and device is detected in ADB run this command:
Code:
adb devices
Download the CWM Recovery for A706 from here.
Unzip the downloaded file to get a "recovery.img" recovery image file.
Press SHIFT key + Right mouse click in the folder where the file is located and select Open Command from Here.
Now, in the command prompt do the following:
a. Reboot into Bootloader mode. Use command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
b. Device will reboot and display Lenovo logo. (check if device is in bootloader mode by running command:
Code:
fastboot devices
. If you see a device connected then you have successfully rebooted into fastboot mode.
c. Now, run this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(This will flash the CWM recovery image to the device).
d. Once successful, reboot the device using this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
. Or, you can keep the power+vol up+ vol down buttons pressed to restart.​
If everything has gone well, this should get CWM installed on your device. Your device is still *not rooted*. Once you have installed CWM, please proceed to the ROOT instructions post to *root* your device.

DISCLAIMER: Rooting your device VOIDS your warranty. Proceed with caution!!!
1. CWM ROOT METHOD
-------------------------------------
Ok, so you have successfully installed CWM and need root.
1. Just download this Root for A706 ( CWM flashable zip file)
2. Reboot phone to CWM Recovery (use command: adb reboot recovery)
3. Flash the zip and then restart into OS.
4. Now, you should get the Super user app in the list.
2. VROOT (ONE-CLICK ROOTING) METHOD
------------------------------------------------------------------
For noobs AND people who either don't want to install CWM or are unsure of it's usage and only want root, can use this guide for VROOT one-click rooting method. The guide has been translated and posted on XDA by zhuhang. The original vroot post/method (in chinese) exists on this site.

Thanks to zhuhang for posting the VROOT guide in english (translated from chinese).
DISCLAIMER: Follow these instructions at your OWN risk & responsibility. They are provided AS-IS without any liability.
IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE FLASHING:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, I have noticed that many people after buying the phone are flashing any firmware to their phones and most of the time without checking the phone versions and the OS versions. In the stock firmware post, I had mentioned that people having the Chinese version of the phone should NOT flash the ROW (international) firmware otherwise it would mess up their phone and network etc.
Solution to the problem is now in the OP. Please follow it if you have SIM error or network issue.

INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------------
A memory card is required.

On the root of the memory card, create a folder called "sdfuse".
Unzip the downloaded firmware, you will get a QSB file.
Copy the QSB file to the sdfuse folder that we created earlier on the root of SD card.
Note: Please make sure that your phone has atleast 60% power before attempting or beginning upgrade. Or keep charger connected during the process.
SD card upgrade process:
Long press VOL UP + POWER_KEY to enter the droidboot,
A menu will appear. Select the fourth option, SDUPDATE.
At the bottom of the screen, you can see the progress and status of the update
When you see the message "SDCARD UPDATE SUCCESS!!!", this means you successfully completed the upgrade process
Now, reboot your device and hopefully it should be updated.
That's it! If you guys have found any more firmware download links (even for different regions, build etc.) just share them with me along with details and I will add them to the list in this post.

scuderialoki, unfortunate that you got stuck. worked for me without any issues. i upped the same file that i used on mediafire. can you re-download the file and then check if the file is ok by extracting the zip using winrar or winzip? if it is ok then try flashing it again.

gr8techie thanks for the reply. i really appreciate it. just downloaded the flashable cwm however it's still the same bro. lemme tell you something though. i rooted the devices before using framaroot and everything is ok but i had to do a factory reset through the settings app in A706. i still see the superuser app in the system apps and i cant uninstall it. when i open the superuser app in the drawer it's giving me an error that the su binary is not installed and su cant install it.

ok, please tell me if you have CWM installed on your device? I believe it is not installed. if this is the case, then you need to flash CWM and then try installing the zip again.
if it is installed then, i believe the super su from previous rooting maybe causing the problem. check on Playstore for a method to unroot your device. or google it. then you need to root again. hope this solves your problem.
thanks
Hi bro thanks for the reply i attached a screenshot of my root validation. I used an app to identify that. And by the way my recovery is installed. I the super su app is killing it

[ROOT][TWRP][Unlock] Chuwi Hibook by kostyamat

Hibook-ToolBox​
For first - to write my english is bad, bad, very bad... But I understand english
I allowed myself to write a few batch files to help newcomers, as well as other users, under common title "Hibook-Toolbox".
Русскоязычная версия: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=741766&view=findpost&p=49156807
It allows you to:
Unlock the new tablet Bootloader.
Unprotect system partition from changing (remove "Verity Boot").
Install TWRP-recovery ver-2.8.7.0, which I have ported to this tablet.
Get the correct ROOT in the right way.
Flash custom firmware (which do not have to wait long, I think so)
And other…. I will add if still need to be.
Attention! Whatever you do, you do it at your own risk!​
Download (needrom.com): http://www.needrom.com/download/unlocktwrproot/
Preparation:
Unzip the archive to PC, but try not to use special characters or folder names with space in the paths to files. Better way is unzip to a folder in the root of drive C: or D:
Turn on ADB-debugging: "Settings"-"About Tablet" >-> Taps under the item "build number" until the caption appears "you became a developer"-> Return one step back-> enter the item for developers "-> Enable" USB debugging ".
Connect the device to the PC.
Install the Intel driver IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.10.0.exe
Usage:
1.Unlock_Bootloader.bat - Run first. It will unlock the bootloader. Carefully follow the prescriptions of the script and on the screen of the tablet. ATTENTION! All settings, programs, as well as all data on internal SDCard will be destroyed! Data on external MicroSD and Windows will not suffer. After unlocking the device will reboot in factory recovery, which does not display anything (stupidly black screen with backlight), the process may take up to 10 minutes (I'm shocked, but it's true), then the device will reboot in Android pristine clean.
2.Unlock_Verity-boot.bat - Run second. It will unlocking the System partition to can be changed. Carefully follow the prescriptions of the script and on the screen of the tablet. The device will reboot. Data on external MicroSD and Windows will not suffer. After all unlock actions, be sure to enter the option for developers and turn ON the item "Factory unlock".
3.Outside_boot-TWRP-recovery.bat - (It is optional. For obtain ROOT access). The device will be rebooted into the temporary session of TWRP-recovery, to Internal sdcard will be placed UPDATE-SuperSU.zip - install it using TWRP. Previously, you can make TWRP backup (recommended!).
4.Flash-TWRP-recovery.bat - (It is optional) TWRP-recovery will be permanently flashed into the Tablet. (Not recommended! Some time firmware will update, TWRP cannot install OTA-update)
5.Flash-ORIGINAL-recovery.bat - (It is optional) Flash back to the original Recovery.
ADB_shell.bat - Just a comfortable CMD-window for ADB-debugging and work with Android Shell.
Flash-Custom_FW.bat – My flasher to flash custom firmware, which I am sure will appear in future.
Useful console commands (ADB_shell.bat):
ADB reboot bootloader - reboot to FastbootDroidboot (flashing) mode
ADB reboot recovery - reboot to TWRP or native Recovery mode.
ADB root – restart ADB-debug service as ROOT.
ADB remount - remounting Android system partition to write (you need root-adb mode see adb root)
ADB shell - run Android-console (ash) through which you can run Linux-scripts, internal system commands, etc.
fastboot boot * *.img – run user-compiled boot.img or recovery.img
fastboot reboot – reboot to system from DroidbootFastboot (flashing) mode.
fastboot flash [boot, recovery, system, data] [boot, recovery, system, data]. img - In DroidbootFastboot mode, It will flash specific image to specific partition, example: fastboot flash system c:\Custom_FW\system.img - will flash only system.img to Android system partition.
PS. Under any circumstances, when using TWRP, never do not wipe system partition! Also make sure the TWRP-settings option "Use rm-R instead of formatting" is ON and never leave it. The fact of the matter is that "Verity Boot" marked System partition itself. Withing format the label disappears - the tablet won't boot to Android! This problem can be solved, but why You would make a problem?
If You like may work, buy me a coffee. Please :|
Hibook-Toolbox was updated 06/04/2016
Nice work, it is really great to see the android side of the hibook 10 has root. this is an excellent tablet and I am ordering it as of now.
I hope you and others will continue working with this tablet, as android n would be great on here.
Thanks. :good:
Hi ! Can you share what tools you use for modding TWRP for HiBook and what files you have changed ? I need to do the same for Chuwi Hi10 DualOS, based on the same hardware, i want to port your TWRP on it..
I have installed root too whit this tutorial. It works perfect. If someone is interested in modding whit kernel or custom Rom i have accsess to all partitions from ubuntu on the tablet. Please ask me if you interested in somthink. The stock Rom and kernel are not the best.

And dont get panic if the first vor second try dont work. I dont know how many trys i used and some times i was realy scared about my chuwi. But than i realized that i made something wrong vor forget somthing. After all the work and the shocks my chuwi worked perfect. But if you dont try it you dont know if it works.

I confirm successful rooting for chuwi hibook pro, too.
I want to ask... Do we update supersu from Play store??
Hi man
I will proceed later today to do this.
2 questions...
1) how did you compile the TWRP for our needs? or is it a general one?
2) regarding custom fw, is there cyanogen/remixos 3/anything else based on android 7 available??
Thanks
regards
Luca
Confirm, root sucess for chuwi hibook pro.
Thank you
Root works fine, thank you
I had to install SuperSU.zip from the SuperSU Website.
Reason: Binaries couldn't be updatet.
One problem with TWRP left.
Touch input isn't working well.
Seemes that the touch mask is shifted.
I have to connect a mouse via OTG
[EDIT]
I found another posting with newer TWRP Version (3.0.2.0).
Problem Solved.

Hey guys, new Chuwi Hi10 Pro owner here. I just want to make sure this will work with the build number for my tablet. It's currently running 5.1.1-B2016081102, Remix OS version 2.0. I'm pretty familiar with rooting Android devices, but I still like to make sure I'm following the proper steps before attempting anything. Thanks in advance.

[ROOT][TWRP][OUTDATED] Oppo R9S (China edition) exploit and TWRP flasher

This tool is out of date. See the main R9S thread for an updated tool by Wu Xianlin which gives you an improved TWRP recovery and access to more ROMs.
Original post is below for historical purposes only.
Oppo R9S (Chinese version) TWRP installation tool
Only works on Chinese OS release 005 which can be downloaded here and flashed in stock recovery.
Earlier versions will not work, nor will later versions. It has to be this specific version.
P̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ doesn't work on international editions either.
DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.01
DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.0
Changelog
1.01 - Tweaked timings to try and improve success rate
1.01 - Changed how text is output to hopefully improve appearance on Windows 7
This script uses an exploit by Chinese developer Wu Xianlin to gain temp root, then it flashes his TWRP build that works on the R9S despite the locked bootloader.
From there you can attempt to perma-root your phone, install a custom ROM etc. etc.
Thanks to the following XDA members, without whom this would not have been possible:

Antivirus issues
Some AV's may complain about this file containing a Trojan. They are technically correct. It's called "dirtycow" and is being used in the wild to hack into Linux systems. It cannot affect Windows systems, but I use it to hack a linux-based system (your phone)
If your AV refuses to let my script run you will have to disable it temporarily. Feel free to read through my script (root1.bat) to check what it is doing.
Useful things to flash in TWRP
CyanogenMod13 - by Wu Xianlin
Stock Recovery - by Wu Xianlin
GApps (ARM64) - by opengapps.org
Updated basebands, ripped from ColorOS
Use these only if you have issues with phone/GPS/etc. after installing CM. Otherwise leave alone.
[2017-01-11 v0180] - released ROM (China) - by me!
[2017-01-24 v1470] - ALPHA ROM (China) - by me!
Note: The version number on basebands stays the same, but the MD5s are different. No idea what has changed, but they work!
Unbrick instructions:
Does not work in Windows 10. Tested working in Windows 7
Download this unbrick package
Install the quallcommmtkdriver package
Run daanav-enabler as administrator
Run msmdownloadtool as administrator
Click through any timeout error you get
Click on the titlebar of MSMDownloadTool and press F6 to enable the options
Fully power down your phone by holding vol-, vol+ and power for 10 seconds
Hold vol- and vol+ while connecting the USB cable (use the stock Oppo cable)
MSM should now show your phone.
Press F5 to decide what to flash. For the first attempt choose "All except userdata".
Click the start button.
After 5 minutes your phone should reboot into ColorOS.
If ColorOS hangs on boot, then repeat the above staps and this time flash all, including userdata. This will wipe your photos etc. sorry!
This will leave you on V004 of the OS. You will need to upgrade to 005 before attempting to root again.
Can I request a version of this that stops at permanent rooting? Unless you think there would be a problem with the fact that I intend on using it on a r9s plus.
Or a link to what I maybe overlooked, in case it already exists.
Unfortunately this program doesn't perma-root. It gains a temp root and uses that to flash TWRP. TWRP can then be used to flash a custom ROM or a rooting tool.
It also doesn't unlock the bootloader. Wu Xianlin somehow managed to make a version of TWRP that the locked bootloader is happy with!
however if you edit root1.bat and scroll down to line 181. Change it from:
Code:
type root3.txt | adb shell /data/local/tmp/root2.sh
to:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/root2.sh
Then the script will just drop you to a root shell. Unfortunately you are then on your own as to how you get perma-root.
I have no idea whether this method will work on the R9SPlus. In theory it should do but I've not tried it. I won't be held responsible if you brick your phone and probably won't be able to help, though you should be able to do a three-finger reboot and then boot into recovery and reflash ColorOS.
Optional modifications you can make that will make the script neater:
You can also remove lines 178 and 179
Code:
echo Copying TWRP
adb push r9s-twrp-3.0.2.0-20170107.img /sdcard/twrp.img
and change line 184 from
Code:
pause
REM ---- CHINESE TWRP HELP ----
to
Code:
pause
exit
REM ---- CHINESE TWRP HELP ----
I will take your "I have no idea if this will work fo r9s+" at face value and try to be patient for something more certain, thanks for your contribution nonetheless
I saw the translation you posted and am a bit depressed Wu recommended to return the phone...
Oppo make amazing hardware but terrible software that is never updated. I used to be ok with this because they actively encouraged rooting and custom ROMs but this change in attitude from them makes it very hard to recommend the phone.
I would be interested to know if this exploit does gain root on the Plus. In theory it should work, and there's also a decent chance that TWRP will too as the hardware is very similar, but will require someone very brave/stupid to try it
BTW. Anyone who is going to try this on the Plus. Ensure you have a flashable .ozip of a working ColorOS (full install, not OTA) saved to internal storage as the stock Oppo recovery is a POS that doesn't provide ADB, MTP or USB.
If you end up wrecking your OS and don't have that image in place ready to flash from recovery you are screwed.
Likewise do not flash TWRP until you are sure that your OS is still bootable, and also take a dump of the stock recovery first! (and post it in the other thread as it's bloody useful to have!)

Hi the Unbrick pack RAR is corrupted and can not unzip.
Also there is Trojan in DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.0 - Dirtycow file and the NOD Antivirus is deleting this file.
Please advice how to proceed ?
NOD is correctly detecting that this is a hacking tool using a well known exploit (dirtycow).
Since you actually want to do that, you're going to have to disable NOD until you're done.

Please check the pic and advice how to install the CyangenMode. (I have uploaded the pic in your thread in Oppo Community forum please check it there because I am new here and can not post with external links..)

You need to do a wipe data/cache/dalvik as CM won't install on top of incompatible data.
Note that this will wipe your installed apps, settings, app data, saved games etc. but will not wipe your photos, music, downloads or anything else saved to internal storage.
You may wish to take a backup from within TWRP first. Apps like Titanium Backup and Nandroid Manager are reasonably good at restoring apps and data from a TWRP backup.
Also don't forget to install GApps

For the unbrick package you need 7-Zip to extract it.

If some kind soul gives me some advice. Done everything under win 7 reset. Thank you so much Gianfranco.
GPS should be working. I'm using it all the time on CM13 as my phone is my satnav.
Maybe wipe and reflash, or try one of the baseband updates?
Sent from my OPPO R9s using XDA Labs
Now, the problem is more to do so that I can not leave,
I installed through the files Stock TWRP Recovery as a boot, and I hand the boot source and installing the original rom, after the reboot remains on oppo screen. what can I do. Thank you so much Gianfranco.
hold all three buttons for 10 seconds to forceibly power off the phone and then try to boot to recovery.
If you get the Oppo recovery then try to do a factory reset and then flash the stock ROM,
if you get TWRP then try to flash Cyanogen.
If you can't do either then you're going to have to run the unbrick tool. Do you have another PC you can try it on?
Thanks, but I have tried various solutions, when I install the boot ROM from stock, is successful, the reboot hangs installation applications. I wanted to know if you can other software for unlocking. Thank you very much for giving me some advice, thanks ancora.Gianfranco.

Generals Z17 miniS - NX589J

Hello everyone,
I got z17 miniS several months ago, but I hate the original ROM, no Gapps, no notification, … I’m a newbie on Android (my previous phone is windowsphone), so I don’t know well any things about Android, root, …
I’ve searched on internet many times & found some ways to install Gapps, TWRP, ROM for this phone, almost them from chinese forum. Because the link download on baidu server so I re-up them to another server.
In this thread, I will guide you root, install twrp, Gapps, … to z17miniS, it worked with my phone. Hope it works for you.
Carefully with all you do. Please always backup.

Thank you very much for the post, @dhvminh:
So far the community around Z17 miniS is small and there no so many ROMs available and users posting about this device, so any contribution is more than welcome.
Which ROM are you currently using? Is it working fine? Do you manage to get the settings in English?
I currently have chinese v2.10 with GApps in my phone but I'm quite disappointed for a number of reasons:
- Battery drains really fast. I have to put the device in "energy save" mode and even this does not make the battery work for more than 6/8 hours.
- I have problem with some Google services.
- Minor bugs when "sharing" things between apps or accessing to media from apps (change the profile picture in several apps doesn't work, for instance).
Is it worthy change to any of the ROMs you mentioned (and which one is the best so far) or it's better to wait until a international ROM is released (by the way, I can't not find it anywhere :crying
The phone looks quite good and the performance is great, as well as the camera but the problems I mentioned make the user experience quite frustrating. I want to believe that we will have improvements in the next months: the phone was released in October 2017 in China and it was just introduced in Europe. So, fingers crossed.
Thanks again.

Hi, so I found the best way to get decent battery life is to disable wifi (it literally took my phone from 6-8 hours up to a full day easily). I know this isn't ideal for some people and data plans, but while you're out and about, definitely disable the wifi.

Thanks @diogoasisti
The Android warning is not shown when I have the phone plugged but turned off but it does when it's switch on.
Do you know which one of the ADB drivers do I have to install? Thanks
