Oppo F3 Root Help - General Questions and Answers

Dear Xda,
Im An Oppo user my Device details As follows.
Device: Oppo F3 ( CPH1609)
MTK6750T
4Gb Ram, 64 GB ROM
Running on ColorOs 3.0.0i (Based on Android 6.0)
There are lot of problems / bugs in Os which Oppo Even failed to rectify.
When ever i Mailed them they simply quoting their common quotes
So i decided to Root my phone to develop ( no i cant do it lone )
During search of Root i found few obstacles
1) Oppo made decision to remove fastboot option fron their device
Ref: https://forum.xda-developers.com/r7-plus/help/decision-oppo-bootloader-fastboot-t3348114
2) MTK droid Tools not fully supporting the chipset
Ref:https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4178413&thumb=1&d=1497202499
3) One click Root is not working ( king, farma etc)
4) cannot obtain boot & Recovery imgs to development
5) i thought stock firmware flash file may have useful but there are 2 types of probles
(A) flashablezip version : it has boot. Img but no recovery.img included. Also it is With. Ozip Not with. Zip extension
(B) PC version : it is like encrypted file. With. Ofp extension And With some other type file. And it is not flashing through SP-FLASH TOOLS. The flashing tool is different.

Support pages (drivers/manuals/source): NL, Global/US.
USB Driver v1.0 AV052 (2014-03-27) (does NOT work with tools (flashing and dumping etc), as you need PDAnet or VCOM drivers for that (see ROM Dump section))

ROM Dump / Partitions / Scatter
When stuck / frozen on boot (bootloop) you can always reset by holding Volume Up & Power for over 12 sec!
Carlivs Tutorial is another good, clear and complete overview of all this!
You CAN NOT dump/read your phone with the official Acer drivers (no virtual COM port)!
I now succesfully used PDANet (See Tools / Drivers), but a lot of people seem to use the VCOM drivers (MT6589 VCOM, MTK Preloader etc.
The only tool (see Tools section) working after a lot of trying (!) for me was (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344, and sometimes the newest 3.1408, both icw MTK Droid 2.5.3!
Read these 5 great (similar) ROM dump / flash tutorials (or read this tutorial about Android partitions):

-- SEE POST ATTACHMENT FOR CURRENT SCATTER FILE --
In this table you find the partition name (all EMMC) (as found in the scatter file attached to this post, probably made by MTK Droid Root & Tools (see Tools section)), then the start adress and then the length, all in hex.
(This could also be done by connecting to phone (with USB Debug on) and using ADB: "adb shell cat /proc/dumchar_info")

ROM Installing / Updating
Basic instructions to update your phone (if not automatically Over The Air (OTA)) with a ROM ZIP using a recovery:
If you have the SP Flash Tool (see Tools), make a backup with that too
Install CWM (or any other custom recovery like Carliv's CTR or TWRP if available for E380)(see Root by Flash)
Download and unzip the ROM update (see Acer Update History and watch new posts)
Copy the FixPack-B.zip to SD card
(Re)Boot into recovery
Make a full backup in recovery (to SD)
Flash the FixPack-B.zip from recovery
Reboot & enjoy the new ROM / updated Android!
Root by flash (preferred method)
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT OR EVEN DANGEROUS!!!
When stuck / frozen on boot (bootloop) you can always reset by holding Volume Up & Power for over 12 sec!
Carlivs Tutorial is another good, clear and complete overview of all this!
Steps 0-4 are to be found explained more thouroughly and with images, in the tutorials in the ROM Dump section. Read them. Read them well!
All tools can be found in the Tools section.
Also, a short (better?) version by Shreps can be found here (or check this ChinaPhoneArena one).
0) Install drivers (see Tools) with a good USB virtual COM port emulation! Most simple is to install PDANet maybe, but lot of people seem to use so called VCOM drivers / MT6589 VCOM / MTK Preloader etc. Other option is the MTK USB All Developer drivers. Make sure connection is OK, and MTK Droid works (when phone is on)!
1) Create scatter file or use the one attached to this post.
2) Read back (stock) recovery (or all) partitions with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or download my stock recovery img here.
3) Download CWM 6.0.5.0 by vache or Carliv Touch Recovery CTR (2.7 for JB, 3.0 for KK) (thanks to vache/Shreps for CWM, thanks to Carliv for CTR!)(or make your own by MTK Droid altering stock recovery image);
4) "Download" (to phone) the custom recovery with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or use mine.
5a) Copy SuperSU zip to SD card, and boot your phone into CWM/Carliv recovery (hold volume up and turn phone on), and then Install zip from SD > install SuperSU.
5b) Te keep your custom CWM: Install SuperSU immediately after boot, and use File / Root Explorer to delete file ".. recovery .." in System folder before booting again!
6) YOU ARE ROOTED!
7) Install BusyBox (see Tools section)

To boot into recovery/fastboot mode, hold Volume Up while powering device on.
To boot into Factory (Test) mode, hold Volume Down while powering device on.
To make Acer's drivers also recovery/fastboot compatible, add this line to your "android_winusb.inf" files in the maps in submap "drivers" (and then install/update drivers in Windows Device Manager): %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01
Repartition and extend space to SD with Meteos App here or here (root required)(more partition info here)(not tested yet)
Use external SD for apps with the famous INT2EXT script or check all options like App2SD, Mount2SD, Data2SD etc

I've managed to make a backup using MTK droid and root tool. hackwerk, it seems you are getting ahead of me now can you post your recovery if it's working ? thanks !
Is it safe to install and activate Xposed framework on the E3 ?
I got a notification today about a 8.23 Mb update ! But there is no changelog anywhere and I don't want to install it yet...
Anyone got it ?

Yes I already have a datamap / scatter file (from MTK Droid) and used it succesfully to dump / backup all blocks to images (recovery.img boot.img android.img etc) on my non-rooted phone! (however USERDATA block fails in SP Flash Tool, and I do not know the end address of the ROM thus cannot dump the last block (__NODL_BMTPOOL))
Made a CWM custom recovery with the Official CWM Builder online, but the new output recovery was larger than my stock input one!?
Big problem for now, as I cannot fit it in the current recovery space?!
Xposed I do not know? However I strongly advise everyone NOT to install / run programs or apps or packages etc which are not on XDA or are closed source! There's a LOT of virussing / spying / trojanning going on in this world.
The official Acer update is only (as far as I found out);
1) Update of the build from Acer_AV052_E380_1.007.00_EMEA_GEN1 > Acer_AV052_E380_1.012.00_EMEA_GEN1
2) Update of the APN version from APN 2.053 > APN 2.062
I colored the 2 changes green in my FP.
So just do it, its fine I guess, and we will get Android 4.4 Kit Kat soon anyways...

Ok, and do you think that with root I would be able to retrieve this last block ?
I can confirm that even after reboot the root is there ! I used Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to make the OTA update, just to be safe and it managed after 2 restores to put back root. I don't know if it was needed.
I don't see any change with this update, just a traduction error corrected in the settings menu (flip cover wake up)...
Would be nice to have a changelog from Acer just to know !
I can also confirm that Xposed Framework is perfectly working on this phone.

Size of the last 2 partitions is now known and added but the reason it cannot be read by SP Flash Tool is that the sizes are not a multiple of 512 or so!?
Yeah baby! Great news!
I managed to install the ClockworkMod Recovery (rua1 autoCWM 5.5.0.4) made by the MTK Droid Root & Tool, and Downloading it to my phone in the older SP Flash Tool 3.1344!
After that of course installed SuperSU and we are ROOT, by a simpel/safe/clean method!
Links and stuff are in the first post.
Problems/ToDo now:
1) This CWM is removed after a normal (re)boot and replaced by the stock one (Android system recovery 3e). How!? And how to stop this?!
2) Newer CWM (6.0.4.7) like the one the online CWM Builder makes for me (altering my stock image) seems to big for the partition
3) Custom ROM making (CyanogenMod!!!), but let's wait for 4.4 Kit Kat and the sources of that, which will be available in the next months.

Data to Ext SD
We need to extend space to our external SD card, as the internal phone memory is not huge.
However I really really cannot see all differences with pro's and con's anymore between all options, so please help me!
What should we do, with this rooted stock Acer ROM (Android 4.2.2)(with EXT4 partitions and CWM recovery)?
1) Use one of the famous scripts INT2EXT, Data2EXT/D2EXT, Mount2SD/M2SD, Apps2SD/A2SD etc. etc.
1b) For INT2EXT we need Init.d support, so whats the best way to add that? An App like Init.d Toggler or Universal Init.d or so? (4.4 support would be nice!)
2) Just use simple symlinks with Link2SD/L2SD or Apps like FolderMount etc
3) Repartition and make data partition on SD, using Meteos etc
4) Use one of the many Apps to move Apps, like Titanium Backup etc.
What CAN, and SHOULD we try/use? Please advise me?

Have you already seen this behaviour of a custom recovery reverting back to stock after reboot ?
I've always used link2sd with my previous phone, so far I put my apps on sd using the android built-in option on my E3, because I haven't reached the internal storage limit yet...
Are we only 2 having this phone ?^^

From what I can see now, you should install SuperSU immediately the first time in CWM, and THEN reboot. SuperSU asks for permission for Acer system update and you should deny that. CWM will then stay. However, you could also update (to 4.4 later) and then flash the CWM again of course.
Yeah the phone is JUST released, so we are the first. Probably some more people will join in the next months!

Build: Acer_AV052_E380_1.012.00_EMEA_GEN1

ROM Dump / Partitions / Scatter
You CAN NOT dump/read your phone with the official Acer drivers (no virtual COM port)!
I now succesfully used PDANet (drivers), but a lot of people seem to use the VCOM drivers (MT6589 VCOM, MTK Preloader etc.: All the same old v 1.1123.0).
The only tool (see Tools section) working after a lot of trying (!) for me was (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344, and sometimes the newest 3.1408, both icw MTK Droid 2.5.3!
Read these 5 great (similar) ROM dump / flash tutorials:
Tutorial 1
Tutorial 2
Tutorial 3
Tutorial 4
Tutorial 5
In this table you find the partition name (as found in my created scatter file made by MTK Droid Root & Tools (see Tools section)), then the start adress and then the length, all in hex.

Official
The following are official Acer pages/links, but content IS different on all other languages/regions (so try others)!
Product page (UK)
Support page (UK)(drivers/source/manuals)
USB Driver v1.0 AV052 (do NOT work with tools (flashing and dumping etc), as you need PDAnet or VCOM drivers for that (see ROM Dump section))
Kernel Sources v20140307 (4.2.2)
Manual (ENG)(Duo)
Rooting (CWM > SuperSU)
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT OR EVEN DANGEROUS!!!
Steps 0-4 are to be found explained more thouroughly and with images, in the tutorials in the ROM Dump section. Read them. Read them well!
All tools can be found in the Tools section.
0) Install drivers with a good USB virtual COM port emulation. Most simple is to install PDANet (4.15), but lot of people seem to use the VCOM drivers / MT6589 VCOM / MTK Preloader etc. (All the same old v 1.1123.0). Make sure connection is OK, and MTK Droid works (when phone is on)!
1) Create scatter file or use mine.
2) Read back (stock) recovery (or all) partitions with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or download my stock recovery img here.
3) Let MTK Droid alter the recovery image and make a custom CWM one of it.
4) Download (to phone) the custom CWM recovery with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or use mine.
5) Copy SuperSU zip to SD card, and boot your phone into CWM recovery (hold volume up and turn phone on), and then Install zip from SD > install SuperSU. Do it the first time in CWM, because a reboot without root REVERTS recovery to stock (safety by Acer?!)!
6) YOU ARE ROOTED!
7) Install BusyBox (see Tools section)
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT OR EVEN DANGEROUS!!!

Developing / Custom ROM's
None yet, but we hope for a CyanogenMod and ClockworkMod Recovery, although this MediaTek support is not expected :crying:
But due to the fact that the E2 and E3 are almost the same (a part from the screen and cams), we hope for mods/ports of for instance:
E2 SC0RPION ROM
E2 JellyXperia ROM
E2 MIUI 5 ROM
Your custom ROM for the E3 here soon?
Kernel sources in the Official section!!!
Tools / Fixes / Hacks
Kernel sources can be found in the Official section!!!
Tools
MTK2000 is a great MediaTek-hack site with frequent updates of SP/MTK Flash Tool and more!
SP Flash Tool / Smart Phone Flash Tool (v3.1408.00)(super tool for MT65xx phones!)(new code/layout from 3.1352 up, and for recovery flash you MUST use older 3.1344 etc!!!)
MTK Flash Tool (v5.1320)(super tool for MT62xx phones!)
MTK Droid Root & Tools (2.5.3)(great tool, to create scatter (datamap) file (Succeeded! See ROM Dump section) etc.)
MTK Rom Studio (1.1.77.266)(by Linerty)
Multiple MTK (Engineer) Apps / Tools on Google Play, like Mobileuncle MTK Tools (2.9.9)
Xposed (2.5.1) Framework (modify ROM without flashing)
Titanium Backup (6.1.5.4)(backup/restore, and remove or move apps, also system apps)
SuperSU (1.94)(install via CWM to root phones etc)
BusyBox (11 / 1.22.1)
Fixes
Bad GPS fix with MobileUncle MTK Tools (or MT GPS EPO Fix)
Camerafix (by ventus00): Drag Camera app to homescreen into "App info" which brings you to "Gallery" app info. Press Force stop > Clear data. What fixed the cam was pressing "Clear defaults" under "Launch by default".
Hacks
To boot into recovery/fastboot mode, hold Volume Up while powering device on.
To make Acer's drivers also recovery/fastboot compatible, add this line to your "android_winusb.inf" files in the maps in submap "drivers" (and then install/update drivers in Windows Device Manager): %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01
Repartition and extend space to SD with Meteos App here or here (root required)(more partition info here)(not tested yet)
Use external SD for apps with the famous INT2EXT script or check all options like App2SD, Mount2SD, Data2SD etc
More?
To Do / Problems
Which script/app to use for data > ext SD? See post #6 etc!
Which method to use to get init.d support?
Custom recovery ClockworkMod RUNNING (5.5.0.4 with MTK Droid) but the CWM custom one from CWM Builder online) seems to large :/
Besides the CWM, build and test custom TWRP Recovery, and Carliv Touch Recovery.
No custom ROM like CyanogenMod yet :/
Made by Hackwerk, and feel totally free to press the Thanks button if you like my work. It took a lot of my spare time!
(special thanks to tiliarou for testing, and d3nnisd for the first/old thread)

Porting custom roms from Acer Liquid E2 to Acer Liquid E3 it's very simple.
All you need to do is to take boot.img (kernel) from your stock rom and then if you want I can help you to port kernel to your e3

Welcome Marco and thanks!
Our ALE3 stock boot.img and the kernel source (both still 4.2.2) are already available and I really welcome you to help us.
Although we are also very much waiting for the 4.4 Kit Kat release which is almost there (Q2)!
Ps. Is it (still) hard/impossible to get a CyanogenMod (which I LOVE and am very used to) clone running on our ALE3 (because of MediaTek MT6589?)?

Unlock
Can you tell me if any of the above will unlock my new E380 ? Or do I need to wait for a custom ROM to be ported ?
Many thanks.

I own a Acer Liquid E2 and I ported CM11 from Wiko Stairway (MT6589) to my phone thanks to some patches and libs. At the moment developers have to fix camera,bluetooth, hw acceleration and some little bugs.
I can port this roms but I haven't got a Acer Liquid E3 so I can't test them.
EDIT: I'm gonna port these kernels, but I can't upload those roms because of my bad connection
So all you had to do is to download the roms, replace my kernel in the rom and replace libs with stock libs (they are located in system/lib/modules )
Jellyxperia kernel:
https://mega.co.nz/#!8ZVHzTwJ!kQO_A9AJdLx2Mz3u1ctZ5-IhuEUZvFJOb-SxG9LuyJA
MIUI kernel
https://mega.co.nz/#!gJtQVSCQ!5IdxGHxOobBfGblp8Dd7AUM03prNScxaIudSXT5879E
Try and tell me if I succeed

As long as key features of our (ALE3) phone are not supported in custom ROMs, like camera, I will not (try to) flash/test or modify them.
I am not a developer, and I really demand basic features like making a picture
And again, maybe we should start fukkin around when 4.4 (and sources of 4.4?) are released!

You didn't understand me, those bugs (like camera) are only in CM11.
MIUI, Scorpions and Jellyxperia work fine

What exactly do you mean by unlock? Rooting? Pattern/PIN lock? SIM / network lock?
Rooting:
See the first post (FP) / topic start (TS) if rooting is what you want and try the simple but obscure Kingo method or flash CWM and install SuperSU etc (complicated but trusted / universal method).
SIM / Network lock:
If rooted, you can install all apps (signed and unsigned) and do everything in your phone you want to, so install a SIM unlock app (OWN RISK), or use a complicated but more trusted file edit method (OWN RISK). A good app option seems to be the famous MobileUncle MTK Tools (see Tools section in FP), as it has a Permanent Unlock option for both SIMs in the Engineer Mode (MTK)!
PIN / Pattern:
A million methods via ADB, or (CWM) recovery etc, like these, but just Google man!

So you have CM11 running, but with these problems (because of the MT6589), on your ALE2?
And you did (or also) run customs SC0RPION, JellyXperia and MIUI (only/all three?) and without big problems (so I can probably use those on daily basis)?
Which one do you like best? SC0RPION seems most updated, newest and best fitting (ALE2 based), MIUI seems older and simpler, and Jelly is based on an other phone?!
I do not understand how I would be able to port them to our ALE3. Can you explain it more elaborate please?

Many thanks,
Yes I meant network unlock (use a phone on an alternate network to that to which it is locked)
Three (UK) have kindly agreed to unlock without charge .. So I just need to root as I need to port some sideloaded apps accross from an old HD.
All the best

CM11 is still buggy on mt6589, not only on my phone.
I tried those roms and they are bugfree except jellyxperia which is not multilanguage, in fact only english and chinese.
Honestly I prefer Sc0rpion rom because of its performance/battery life.
About porting roms, you should follow these steps:
1 - Download rom you want to port
2 - On your stock rom, go to system/lib/modules and copy all the libs inside this folder on your sd card
3 - Open custom rom zip and replace custom libs (in the same folder) with your libs
4 - Now replace boot.img of the rom with the ported boot.img which I gave you (i.e. ALE3Jellyxperia)
5 - Make a backup of your stock rom, Wipe data/factory reset and flash the zip in CWM
Yesterday I forgot Sc0rpion kernel, so you can download it here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!1Fl1FKbC!-tTMxyfDJl3_GrmvnCdYywXkutZv3trvxl4XyyA_r6k
Please tell me if you have any problem

Thanks a lot but after my whole journey (see FP) I just finished configging my phone and am very happy at the moment.
I will try it later, but maybe 4.4 (will be released for us, inc kernel source) will be my next step, and I hope CM11 4.4 customly made from/for this!
How did you make these boot.img images for our ALE3 (from ALE2) btw?

I unpacked ALE2 and ALE3 kernel. Then I packed a kernel with the ramdisk of the ALE2 and the zImage of the ALE3. That's all

@MushroomLT can you port Lastest lenovo super camera to our device ?

Hi, I tried flashing the TWRP Recovery (downloaded via link in your thread) using the scatter file provided with the revoery image.
While trying to flash, this pops up: "PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded."
I tried to use scatter file downloaded directly from your thread, but after successful flash I can't boot into recovery at all, phone just turns off.
Do I need to use CyanogenRecovery (it works properly)? (I prefer TWRP)
Could you help, please?

I had GPS slow fix and A-GPS problems also with Stock...
GPS Part is not in this ROM's Engineering Menu available (probably some APK's missing), so I didn't tested it - planing to do it today...
But this ROM is fast and all works stable, very good to start with.
I miss some Features seen in Stock and CM:
- Virtual Operator Network Name not shown - only real network - in Stock ROM it was OK
- no National Data Roaming feature (only Data Roaming), saw this on some CM builds and Samsung phones
- if I'm in roaming I don't see the connected data technology (4G,3G,H,E,G) - only the R standing for Roaming - in national data roaming (Virtual operators) is it annoying - but data works OK.

https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=944204&st=220
And guess what, I found the firmware for the device! Eventually, I was able to fix my bricked K3DX V5G, and here it is:
https://yadi.sk/d/TSjrTYbKBV4KWA
What I did was:
1. Decompressing the file
2. Flashing it with fastboot
3. Device resurrected!
Fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
edit: found out that it is a clone of ZTE v5 pro N940SC

Ma'am/Sir. Can i ask what usb driver did you use to detect your k3dx-v5g? Because mine is not detecting. Thanks in advance.

Hmm well, have u tried peeking at the device manager when you phone is connected to your PC in fastboot mode?
If there's an entry showing your device you will need grab a fastboot binary to flash the firmware.
Here's a link to the tool called minimal ADB and Fastboot: here
You will also need to extract the firmware to somewhere in your drive.
Having done all the extraction and installation,
and since you're on Windows, you should do:
Bash:
\path\to\fastboot flash:raw boot \path\to\boot.img
\path\to\fastboot flash system \path\to\system.img
where \path\to\fastboot points to the path where you have extracted/installed the tool (or if you have added its path to the PATH environment variable, you can avoid the hassle to write the full path), and \path\to\boot.img and system.img points to absolute path of the extracted firmware.
Then, you are good to go!

Ma'am/sir. Thanks, it's fix now. Thanks for the help. Godbless and stay safe.

Hello, in case you are looking for a twrp image for the device, here's one I have ported myself:
TWRP_N940Sc_V3

I regret to tell you that, no. Currently I have been using the phone as a debian server, since the LCD has been inadvertently broken ( I exerted too much force on it ). Moreover, the device doesn't recognize its battery, which suggests that I might have broken some part of it. Therefore, I have kinda lost any hopes for it. Plus, my linux machine is not powerful enough to build an android OS ( what do you expect much from an intel celeron? ).
PS: I might do it once I get my hands on a much powerful one, or maybe a powerful enough VPS? I am not quite sure but currently I am still in high school, meaning that I may or may not have time....
Best regards,

[ROM][8.1] LAVA IRIS 88s CLEAN and Stock ROM's 2018 / 2019 - MODIFIED 2019

Hello there,
so this is my first time I am actually posting a guide ( sort of…this is more like a story of my journey)
*Hope that i followed all the rules regards posting here
I got to this point because of a virus that affects the MTK chipsets.
I am using the Lava IRIS 88s (for work purposes) and that thing got a nice little virus, which is exploiting MTK-SU - the user diplomatic stumbled upon this ( thread is here: LINK ).
Read more about the Virus:
XDA Post about the rootkit which the Virus uses: https://www.xda-developers.com/mediatek-su-rootkit-exploit/
The virus could not be gotten rid of even with a normal Factory reset. It just returned as if nothing ever happened, under different names.
Antiviruses didn’t pick it up always, believe me I tried basically all of them. The most information from the antiviruses gave me actually Dr.Web Antivirus – which lead me to suspect the Typany Keyboard and Lava Touchpal.
So since I had flashed custom ROM’s before, I wanted to do that to this phone.
As a lazy guy, I started searching for already made custom ROM’s which surprisingly was hard for IRIS 88s.
After a while of digging I found some Stock and custom firmware, but they required to get passwords to extract them. After asking for the passwords and since I am an impatient guy also – I started digging around how to make my own custom rom. Adb, Kitchen, Fastboot, MTKtools, SP Flashtool, WWR and much more that I tried and researched.
So here is thanks to the people whose shared knowledge led me to this point.
diplomatic– MTK-SU, Temporary root
demkantor– Fastboot
Jrummy – root browser
topjohnwu – Magisk, Magisk Manager app
Team Vanced - awsome work!
And a very very large thanks to:
Hovatek- I got a lot of useful information and guides from their videos. Very special thanks!!
So here it goes:
I recommend watching these 2 videos by Hovatek:
1. How to use wwr v2.51 + SP flash tool to backup Mediatek rom
2. How To Use SP Flash Tool (Full Guide)
What I had:
1. Windows 10 x64
2. 2x MTK Phone: Lava Iris 88s (MT6739 chipset) - 2018 was mine and 2019 was my friends.
3. Spare time and a really annoying virus as motivation
How I did things:
1. Watched a lot of videos and read through too many guides.
2. A lot of trial and error with a lot of programs until I got to stay with the below.
3. Downloaded the latest version of SP Flash tool
4. Downloaded Wwr_MTK tool
5. Downloaded and installed Notepad++
6. Downloaded and installed Auto Mediatek USB VCOM Drivers
7. Created a backup of my friend’s phone (same model but 2019 software)
8. Played around a lot until I got the ROM I wanted.
So my recommendation would be to do the same .
But if you are lazy like me then just download and extract the files and just flash them.
2018 STOCK ROM: Lava_iris_88s_2_16_S207_WOC_18F08
2019 STOCK ROM: Lava_iris_88s_2_16_S215_WOC_19F24
CLEANED & ROOTED ( Chrome browser): Lava_iris_88s_2_16_S215_WOC_19F24
CLEANED & ROOTED ( Brave browser): Lava_iris_88s_2_16_S215_WOC_19F24
MODIFIED & ROOTED ( Chrome browser + Maps GO, Gmail GO): Lava_iris_88s_2_16_S215_WOC_19F24
Here is the list of APPS for the Go version:
Android Accessibilty Suite
Calculator
Calendar
Chrome
Clock
Contacts
Drive
Files by Google – instead of the usual File Manager, helps clean up junk files also.
Gallery
Gboard – Google Keyboard

BOOT.IMG ( ROOT - Magisk patch v20.4.7)
BOOT.IMG ( NON-ROOT)
*If you want ROOT or NO-ROOT - just change the boot.img for the one you want (and install Magisk Manager App to manage root).
Password for the files: Alrighty
Also download additionally the latest versions of: SP Flash Tool, Notepad++, Wwr_MTK tool , Auto Mediatek USB VCOM Drivers
The procedure:
1. Open SP Flash tool and select the scatter file from the extracted ROM folder.
2. Set it to FIRMWARE UPGRADE and make sure all boxes are ticked.
3. Click Download and connect your phone (Be sure to have at least 50% battery and the phone is switched OFF before connecting !!)
4. Wait for it to finish.
5. Now boot your phone into Recovery - Volume UP + Power, then select Recovery, then Hold down Power button and push Volume up – a new screen will load.
6. Clear Cache and then Wipe/Factory reset.
7. Select Reboot
8. Have fun
Changes made in the ROM:
1. Removed Bloatware (a lot of apps I didn’t need like: LavaCare, Typany Keyboard, Touchpal, Aries/Launcher3, Google Play Movies/Music, …)
2. Added apps I thought I would need or want – POCO Launcher, WhatsApp, Youtube Vanced ( With Manager and MicroG), Gboard ( Google keyboard), Brave browser ( It blocks Ad’s very well) / Chrome browser ( if you want that instead).
All of this has been my experience and what I can share with you.
But be warned, I am not responsible if this bricks your phone or does what ever it is not supposed to do. I took the risk as well like you are about to do - just that my little experiment worked for me .
Regards,
Ryuuske01
* Currently using the GoAPPS version on my 2018 and my friends 2019 model.
So far so good - phones seem to be more responsive than previously
PS: if this worked for you as well, do hit the Thanks button so that others can also see.
PPS: Even with this ROM it is still susceptible to MTK-SU, need a newer Security patch which is after March 2020, But Lava doesn’t care to update it. Even the 2018 Model always said it’s Up to date with 5th May 2018 patch while the 2019 model has 5th May 2019 patch. They don’t really want to push updates it seems.
As for troubleshooting I can not really share much insight currently.
Here is what i know:
1. If you can not do a readback because the phone is not recognized:
Reboot PC
2. If it gets stuck in a bootloop or a black screen when trying to add Gmail account.
Flash the ROM again but instead of FIRMWARE UPGRADE choose DOWNLOAD ONLY.
Clear Cache, Wipe data/Factory reset.
* Still stuck in a bootloop? Try again FIRMWARE UPGRADE ( I did brick it twice and changing those got it back running).
3. If the flasing has an issue at the end?
Flash the clean rom for your version and then the modified one but unselect the USER DATA.
PS: I flashed those roms more than 4 times each on either 2018 and 2019 model.
Currently using the 2019 based Go Apps version on my 2018 phone.

Thanks

tried "2019 STOCK ROM" method and it saved my friend's work mobile!
thanks

Glad it helped out
So far it has been running very well for me - using the GoApps version.
It has had 2 days where it wants to switch off Mobile Data all the tine untill i reboot, but this happened more often when i still had the stock one.

Is there any (Unofficial) lineage rom for Lava iris 88?

So, if i want to Flash this ROM. Which BOOT.img file should i choose?
BOOT.IMG ( ROOT - Magisk patch v20.4.7) or BOOT.IMG ( NON-ROOT)?

Depends if you need root or not.
But if youre asking this, then probably not needed and just use the non root.

Hi everyone, I am a RMX2071 owner and I was experimenting with GSI images, I have installed the AOSP 10 GSI (AOSP 10.0 v222) Source: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v222
Seems like it works except for the fingerprint (it doesn't work) and the camera that could be better. I'm not a developer nor I'm familiar with Android modding. I have bricked my phone several times during the attempt. This is not an advice or guide, everything you do is at your own risk.
I had unlocked bootloader and TWRP (Source: https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x50-pro/how-to/recovery-lr-team-twrp-3-4-1b-0616-t4123353)
This is what I did:
I have downloaded the latest firmware for my device from realmeupdater (https://realmeupdater.com/)
It was an OZIP file, I have unpacked with this tool (https://github.com/bkerler/oppo_ozip_decrypt)
Now I have a zip file
I have downloaded a GSI .img image (I have tried many, the one listed is the one that works best for now)
I have used this tool (https://github.com/xpirt/img2sdat) to convert .img to three .dat files: system.new.dat, system.patch.dat, system.transfer.list
I have used this other tool (https://github.com/VarunSaiTeja/Brotli-Rom-Manager) to convert system.new.dat into system.new.dat.br
I have deleted this three files from the the official rom zip, using 7zip: system.new.dat.br, system.patch.dat, system.transfer.list
I have added to the official rom zip the files just created: system.new.dat.br, system.patch.dat, system.transfer.list
I have put the zip on a flash drive. I have booted in recovery, wiped everything, flashed the zip, closed AVB2.0 from advanced menu, booted into system.
There could be many bugs I have only tested for some hours, I'm sharing this because some expert could find a way to make fingerprint work, modify the top bar to accommodate the camera hole and find a better camera app.
I'm uploading the zip I have created, I'll post it soon.

You flash this gsi zip with twrp ?

I did try before to install GSIs on this phone without success, if thats it, ill try it and see what i can do

Just wondering again; What either in theory or practice prevents from using an Android 11 GSI with this phone?
I don't understand the Project Treble/GSI mechanism enough.
Shouldn't every device from Android 9 (shipped with, that is) able to run a stock android image? i.e. why would this not work - https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image
