you can unlock with fastboot-
For new devices (2015 and later):
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
For older devices (2014 and earlier):
Code:
fastboot oem unlock

For some reason no need to oem unlock (bootloader not locked properly??) so have twrp without needing to wipe data, but now remains the encryption problem as this trwp doesn't support it, I have compiled twrp for mtk in the past with encryption support but doubt I can recall what needed to be done

TWRP not working
When I install the TWRP recovery and start the phone with this mode to install the two files
1) no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1
2) SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822
the phone does not see them and it is impossible to proceed further.
Furthermore, the operating system does not even start, so the original firmware must be replaced with the flash tool.
Has anyone found a solution to this inconvenience?
Thank you

1. Userdata is encrypted, and the TWRP here isn't compiled to be able to decrypt it. So you'll need an sdcard with those zips on it
2. The os won't start if it deems its been altered - that's partly what zip 1 is for.

Is there any custom roms for Ulefone Mix?

No custom ROMs - I think there is a clone device [Panasonic Eluga C] so we have another stock ROM from them.
I haven't attempted porting anything yet, let alone building anything from source [a source built twrp should be trivial] - i've lost yet another hard-drive recently so light on diskspace & sdcards so not able to do much atm.
For completeness: stock ROM > http://ulefone.com/download/mix.html [newer than the one on needrom]
OTA > http://hwfotadown.mayitek.com/ota/r...NE_N_V0.6.9.1_S1712221514261911507/update.zip

Is this root method working?
Stock rom is located here Stock Ulefone Mix 4G Rom

when (android 8) Oreo for ulefone mix?

twrp and now?
Hello,
i have an old ulefone mix mt6750t with the screen damaged but still 90% working, i thought i would use it on android auto but i needed rooting.
So I informed myself a bit, go unlocked developer mode and usb, downloaded adb and twrp and magisk etc ...
I unlocked the bootloader from the settings then used adb and installed twrp which starts but asks me for the pass to decrypt, then I swipe and delete the encrypted data.
Then with adb sideload I install magisk 20 and check opt encript, but the phone always goes to twrp, it does not restart ... mmm and the orange mode message comes out but it should be normal ... someone knows how to go on to restart it normally and not with twrp?
Thank you

[Guide]How to Root OnePlus 6 Guide! [Video Tutorial][Windows/Mac/Linux]

For those of you who want to root your OnePlus 6, here is the easiest root method even a 10-year old can follow that works on all Windows, Mac, and Linux. Now, before I begin, you will have to unlock the bootloader. If you have not unlocked your bootloader or don’t know what that is, please follow How to Unlock Bootloader on OnePlus 6 first!
Here's a full step-by-step video tutorial:
First, I want to thank those who made root tutorials but I found an easier way to root that does not involve switching any slots, took me a quite awhile to figure this out but well worth the effort. You only have to flash TWRP image to boot, then with TWRP flash boot.img, TWRP installer, and Magisk with this tutorial. You can do it easily on all Windows, Mac, Linux, or even Chromebook(just install Chrome ADB on Chrome Web store)
Special thanks to magnamentis, his method didn't work for me as I lost my Wifi but after few hours of tinkering, found you can just reflash boot.img then the TWRP installer zip file he provided, and voila! Flawless root everytime, I've tested this about 10 times now, thanks again for the post here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76687704&postcount=212
Step 1. Once you have unlocked your bootloader, make sure to SIGN IN as if you do not sign into your phone, you will end up in a nasty bootloop.
Step 2. Check your Android version in Settings->About Phone just in case you are reading this in the future when Android 9.0 comes out but this tutorial is future-proof and will work on future Android versions so long as you use the correct boot image file.
Step 3. Power off your phone and hold down Volume Up and Power buttons for about 3 seconds until you enter the Fastboot mode. When doing this, make sure your USB cable is disconnected otherwise you may enter another special mode for unbricking. If you mess up and get into that special mode, simply reboot your device by holding down Volume Down and Power buttons for about 20 seconds.
Step 4. Once in fastboot mode, connect a USB cable from your OnePlus 6 to your computer. You can use Windows, Mac, or Linux. For my video tutorial, I will be using Windows 10 but you can go ahead and use the substitute code for Mac or Linux as most of the steps are nearly identical.
Step 5. You will need to download:
NOTE: All the download links are at the BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, wait 5 secs and click on "CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD", don't click on the ads!!!
Download fastboot.zip:
https://download.highonandroid.com/file/Tools/fastboot.zip
Android USB Drivers for Windows:
https://download.highonandroid.com/file/Drivers/UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi
Download Magisk:
https://download.highonandroid.com/file/Tools/Magisk/Magisk-v16.4.zip
Download TWRP image:
https://download.highonandroid.com/file/TWRP/OnePlus6/twrp-3.2.1-oneplus6.img
Download TWRP installer zip:
https://download.highonandroid.com/file/TWRP/OnePlus6/twrp-installer-oneplus6-3.2.1.zip
Download and boot.img for OnePlus 6T Android 8.1:
https://download.highonandroid.com/file/TWRP/OnePlus6/boot/8.1/boot.img
Step 6. If you have followed my bootloader unlock tutorial and installed drivers for Windows, you can skip that step. If not, you can go head and run the Android USB Driver program and install drivers. For Mac or Linux, no drivers are needed!
Step 7. Unzip fastboot.zip and move over the TWRP image file you downloaded earlier to the fastboot folder.
Step 8. Open a command prompt for Windows by typing “cmd” in the search bar. For Mac or Linux, open a terminal, if you don’t know how, please Google it.
Step 9. Type the following.
For Windows:
cd Downloads
cd fastboot
fastboot flash boot twrp twrp-3.2.1-oneplus6.img
For Mac:
cd Downloads
cd fastboot
chmod 755 *
./fastboot-mac flash boot twrp twrp-3.2.1-oneplus6.img
Note: CHMOD command basically changes file permissions so you can run the files.
For Linux:
cd Downloads
cd fastboot
chmod 755 *
sudo ./fastboot-linux flash boot twrp twrp-3.2.1-oneplus6.img
Note: CHMOD command basically changes file permissions so you can run the files.
This will flash the TWRP image to your boot partition. Normally, we can simply boot TWRP image but since we don’t have official TWRP recovery(as of writing this), you will have to flash TWRP image to the boot partition, which allows us to boot TWRP recovery.
Step 10. Choose “Recovery” using the Volume keys and hit Power button to enter TWRP recovery.
Step 11. Recovery will probably be in Chinese, hit the “Read Only” button, top button on left middle.
Step 12. You can change the language back to English by hitting the second box from bottom right then hit the globe icon on top right.
Step 13. Go back to your computer and copy over the TWRP install zip file, Magisk zip file, and boot.img file.
Step 14. You don’t need the USB cable connected anymore. Go ahead and install the boot.img file using the image option in Install menu. This will flash back your regular boot image to the boot partition.
Step 15. Next, install the TWRP install zip and Magisk zip file. This will give you permanent TWRP recovery and full root.
Step 16. Reboot and you should see everything working including WiFi, 4G LTE, yadayadayada. Open Magisk Manager app and find you have full root with SafetyNet pass also so you can hide root.
Verify you have full root by installing Titanium Backup app(free app) on the Play Store, you should see a Superuser request window.
That’s it! Enjoy folks!

OnePlus 6T? How is this supposed to be easier? You have sixteen steps here. The other method from wuxianlin is very simple I did it in five minutes with no issues at all including WiFi still working. And how can you say you don't have to switch slots. It is required to flag TWRP to both a and b for it to work properly. You don't even mention that in this tutorial.

I got lost trying to do that root method, I was following this one here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3792643
But yeah you don't have to switch slots for my root tutorial, which can cause havoc if you flash to the wrong one. If you don't believe me just watch the video. It doesn't hurt to have multiple root methods so long as they work. But my Wifi kept dying everytime I used the slot switch method until I found this way to do it.
I am only trying to make a tutorial that even a kid follow but I've broken down a few steps into maybe 10+ steps, probably helpful for noobs who are trying to root. If you are advanced XDA user, great job though, took me a few hours myself to get a flawless root method. Believe me, I love shortcuts and any method that works the first time out but sucks if people don't explain every little detail as not everyone is an expert. I've been rooting phones for awhile now and it was not easy task with OP6.

Yes, since this root method flashes a stock boot image after installing TWRP, you can follow it fine. But make a backup of everything just in case.
Basically, this root method, you flash TWRP to boot partition, then flash stock boot image in TWRP, flash TWRP installer for permanent TWRP, then flash Magisk, and reboot. It's actually just 4 steps, I had to make it much longer for noobs because they will mess up.

Yes, that root method is great but it does not give you TWRP recovery, meaning you can't install custom ROMs with it. But if you need TWRP recovery, you will need to install TWRP recovery thru one of the tutorials here.

The current method of installing TWRP is not noob friendly. Nor is yours in fact after reading yours or seems not complicated than it needs to be. You also need to give credit to the creators of our TWRP and there guides.

Thanks @zedomax!! Never hurts to have different methods, opinions, or guides! Jeep rockin! #neversettle

@zedomax Thank you for these amazing tutorials. I watched both your videos. In that you mentioned that OnePlus ota updates are twrp compatible but then if I root will I have to unroot the phone or flash the stock rom first then install that ota update and then root again or there's some other method to install OTA on a rooted device?

You can accept OTA, but you will have to reflash Magisk.img. Most OTAs do not overwrite boot.img I think unless they are major updates(like to Android P 9.0 when available). So, just flash OTA and if you lose root, reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk.

HI, thanks for the guide but my phone just blocked at recovery launch. Ho can i do?

Same
Edit: It's ok, probably a bug

Thank you zedomax for taking the time to create this guide. I'm gonna try it!
I assume this will work for both A6000 and A6003 right?

Me too. How can this be fixed?

I think I bricked my phone.
This is what I did:
- Bought OnePlus 6 (I think it was A6000)
- Installed OTA, so I was on Android 8.1.0 and OOS 5.1.8
- Followed this tutorial, which broke wifi
- I followed mixtapes02's advice on the video and reflashed OOS 5.1.8
- Now I cannot boot into Android anymore, I can only get to TWRP
EDIT: I managed to install OOS 5.1.5 successfully

I had the same issues and went through the same process. Took a whole day to get it back to stock.

I am sorry to ask such a noob question, but i am very confused by the command you say to use in Step 9:
>fastboot flash boot twrp twrp-3.2.1-oneplus6.img
what is the meaning of the first "twrp" in that command?
shouldn't it be simply:
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-oneplus6.img
Thank you in advance for the explanation

Lost TWRP and root after update to MIUI 10

Hello,
I have a Mi Mix 3, MIUI global 10.2 stable, 10.2.2.0 PEEMIXM.
I managed to root, install TWRP and gcam after a few days of trying.
* Two days ago I updated from phone settings (About phone, Check updates ...)
* I lost both root and TWRP.
* I tried exactly the previous methods to root and phone stuck at booting (three dots flicking on the screen) - via PC / adb / fastboot.
* After that, I reset phone to factory settings and try again - boot in fastboot, try to flash TWRP and I get this error message: error cannot load TWRP.img file (not available or missing).
I also mention:
1. Phone was already rooted by the same procedure
2. Phone is unlocked
3. Dev options / USB debugging check
4. I renamed TWRP.img with recovery.img
5. I even try "TWRP" without extension ".IMG" (last week before the update I succeeded this way - no .img in the name of the file)
Please help
I need something so that I can root phone again AND won't delete TWRP and root after next update.
Thx very very much.

Any software update on this phone will overwrite TWRP if it has a recovery partition image, which most Xiaomi updates do have. There is a way to block it from getting overwritten by booting the phone, which has been implemented in the latest versions of the Chinese TWRP image. I do not know if they have been implmented on the official TWRP for our device.
Based on what you posted, it sounds like you probably need to reboot into the bootloader and use fastboot flash recovery "TWRPIMAGE.IMG" to install TWRP, then hold VOL Down + Power and reboot into TWRP. Once that is done, you can root again using MAGISK or whatever you choose to use for root.

Thank you very much for your time and information. I must add that I was able to flash TWRP according to the procedure explained above, but I couldn't enter/access TWRP recovery. Then, I tried to re-flash TWRP and I always get the message: "error cannot load 'twrp.img' no such file or directory"
And I've tried several methods, several TWRP, different USB cables - almost everything you can imagine. Still, I cannot load the TWRP.img - it's not found. I must say I follow exactly the procedure explained in every posts.
What options do I have?

If you are using adb to load twrp, try putting it in the c/ of your pc, and putting twrp image in the adb folder, and if that didnt work, try renaming the img file to pocorecovery

[Solved][PX5 GS] Can not use custom recovery

I would like to flash custom recovery -> in order to use custom ROM -> in order to gain split screen in my 7" device (ehhh)
I have root, adb, access to bootloader (everything what I need..) but it does not work in default way.. - I mean flashing just by fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
I have checked those TWRP builds
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/downloads/twrp/ (type px5)
Flashing worked fine (no error, success message)
But after rebooting to recovery I still have original recovery. Note: I have to reboot to system, and then to recovery by adb command. There is no reset button on my device, I can only enter bootloader by long pressing volume button while booting.
I saw `backup` partition in my device. Is it possible that system is reverting recovery partition? How to fix that so I can use TWRP

That TWRP don't work in PX5. I'm trying to get it work

Good luck!
Please inform me if you will succeed.

Have you first tried to boot TWRP without flashing? I'd most certianly want to try that before flashing something.
Did that work?
This might sound super silly, but did you also unlock the bootloader first? (Sorry, I'm not familiar with your specific device so this may or may not apply in your situation)

Any advice is welcome thanks
But without unlocking bootloader I would not be able to go to bootloader and use fastboot tool right? So I concluded it is already unlocked.
I tried
fastboot boot TWRP.img
Image was downloaded and booted (success message was printed in console), I lost connection with device so it went in some other mode then bootloader, but after 30 seconds of black screen I have switch power off and back on to restart.

[ROOT][TWRP] Wiko Sunny 2 (SPD7731C) Root process with TWRP port (buggy touch)

Hi all! Now we can root our Sunny 2 phones!
I'd make a TWRP port for this device (adb enabled) so we can just sideload the Magisk installer.
History:
After some time having a Wiko Sunny 2 phone, I'd search a lot and didn't find any method for rooting this little thing.
Then I had the idea to mod the stock recovery to allow test keys and then flash anything, tried to do that and didn't work.
Another idea came to my mind: port TWRP from another phone with same chipset. Started my search for a SPD7731c device with working TWRP and after some time found some guy who made a TWRP port for his "Selecline S6S4IN3G" device and as it had the same chipset it worked. Just gathered the recovery.img from the stock rom (thanks Wiko for giving it on they web page) and unpacked it with carliv image kitchen, replaced the stock ramdisk with TWRP's one and just modded some things inside it (default.prop and the init.rc files). As the vold.fstab is the same, didn't need to modify it.
After some testing, the only problem remaining is that the touch doesn't work well (it receives touch input all the time, even if not touched) but it's enough to get our Sunny2's rooted via ADB and magisk's zip.
REQUIREMENTS:
A PC (or another phone with OTG support, if you use a phone then you'll also need an adb binary compiled for ARM)
ADB, Fastboot and drivers: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1N38jqQqX87dEKsBIgDb_9MC-k43YUi85
TWRP image: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DZhL6RckvzQyxGCq2Yy64Cqnpnnm1Ofp
Stock recovery image (in case something goes wrong you can revert to this): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1spaFc1sqqjFdwzt9cYDfSO_KVh1aYuh5
Magisk ZIP (can be latest or this zip): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-OPU1JycSr8nVyAGfdkhdajn8Uap_0dl
ROOT PROCESS:
1. While on Android, go to Settings>About this device and toch 7 times Build number (this will enable Developer Options)
2. Now go back to Settings and then Developer options>Enable OEM unlock and USB debugging.
3. Connect the device to the PC and install the correct driver (for doing this just open Device Manager and force the install of Android Composite ADB Interface on your unrecognized device (should be called SUNNY2)).
4. Open a CMD/Terminal and type this:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
5. Now type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery path/to/twrp-suny2.img
and after that just
Code:
fastboot reboot
.
6. Now the phone will start, just type in CMD/Terminal
Code:
adb reboot recovery
and you will boot into TWRP.
7. Okay, this TWRP has a buggy touch so just use ADB to install the magisk zip:
Code:
adb shell twrp sideload
, then
Code:
adb sideload path/to/magisk.zip
and finally
Code:
adb reboot
.
8. Nice, now Magisk should be installed. Now with root access, happy modding!
Some things to note:
1) In this guide I did everything via ADB, never booted to recovery or fastboot using button combinations. Why? Simple, on my device I didn't find the correct combinations.
2) You can use TWRP also for factory resetting or installing anything, but via ADB only (as the touch doesn't work properly).
3) If you need any help with this device just PM me!
I hope this guide will be useful for anyone.

Stuck in boot loop
Hi ! Thanks for the HowTo !
But...
I followed the exact same procedure (except I had to fastboot oem unlock before flashing the twrp image, in addition to unlocking it in dev mode).
After flashing, the device was stuck in a boot loop : "orange state your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted / your device will boot in 5 seconds". Tried all manners of key combos to reboot in recovery (Vol Up + power is supposed to be the right combo) but to no avail.
Fortunately Wiko provides an "upgrade" tool that allows you to factory reset the device (support dot wikomobile dot com /maj/Sunny2Plus_V24.zip, window$ only) but no luck installing twrp.
Any idea why ? Thanks in advance

Hmm this device is pretty strange, his key combinations never worked for me (because of that I'd need to reboot into system a few times, instead of booting to fastboot with keys).
You can try this:
After flashing stock rom and allowing oem unlock on settings, reboot directly to fastboot. Then use "fastboot boot recovery.img" and tell me what it says. If it says something about bad boot image, it's normal (that happens in my device even if try to load stock boot.img).
Also there's a tool called SPD Research Download Tool, which let's you flash the phone partitions one by one (manually selectable) from the path you want, while phone is in download mode (volume down and connect USB to PC). However, I don't know if that tool's license allows it's free redistribution, so I recommend research for it before downloading anything.
You can get the stock files by running the wiko upgrade tool, going to the folder it extracted his files and then looking for a file called rom.pac (then unpack it, there are guides here on XDA for doing so). You can even edit the boot splash image lol

Sorry for wasting your time
I'm so stupid ! It turns out my device is a different model, the Sunny 2 Plus.
Sorry, and thanks again

Does anyone know if a custom rom exists for the Wiko Sunny 2?

Nope, sold the device some days after writing this post so didn't even bother to port anything.
BTW it's a 4-core phone with 512MB RAM, so what would you expect to run there? I thing nothing higher than MM (KK would be nice if it was not so outdated nowadays)

Hi, i have got a problem with my wiko sunny 2 plus.
i flashed twrp via fastboot, it succeed. but after reboot the phone didnt start,
only shows orange state, didn´t connect to pc anymore with same cable. i mean i can hear the win7 sound of connecting device and right after connect sound appear then disconnect sound follows right after. so i cant detect the device with adb anymore. what to do, any idea? P.S. sp flashtool also cant detect device. greets

merci beaucoup j espere sa marche
