[TWRP] Umidigi Z2 / Z2 special edition Recovery TWRP - Miscellaneous Android Development

Hi
I was ask many times on how i made TWRP and how to get it work on Stock Roms.
so i thought i will make a Thread for this, so here we go.
1 TWRP download:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am93l3qEx-D_hOdRaTHKVKjvN1M9RA
(this is my Port from the Ulefone S3 , flashing /backup etc all works)
Important:
to get TWRP working you need to edit your fstab in your Rom , it needs to be encryptable insteed of forceencrypt..
How do to this:
well very easy , just follow this steps
1. first you need root! (magsik)
1. Download your Stock rom from Umidigi
2. extract it and take out the boot.img
3. copy the extracted boot.img to your Sdcard or Internal Storage on the Phone
4. Download magisk manager apk from Magisk Thread and install magisk manager apk
5. open it and choose install/ and choose boot.img
6. give magisk your boot.img in your storage
7. after its patched its in your downoad folder
8. copy this patched_boot.img to your desktop on pc
now we need to flash it with flashtools
for this use your scatter.txt file of the stock rom you donwloaded and the patched_boot.img
9. place scatter.txt and patched_boot.img into a new folder created on your desktop
10. rename patched_boot.img to boot.img
11. turn of the phone and start flashtools
12. in flashtools choose the "new folder you created"
13. press on start and after connect the phone to pc via usb..
14. wait. done!
now you have root!
all this steps will take 2-3 minutes.
1. now we need to edit the fstab file
because its a MTK device your fstab file looks like fstab.mt6763 or simliar
2. Download Mixplorer from XDA Thread. ( this root explorer is the best because it set permission automaticly.)
3. open mixplorer and browse to root/system/vendor/etc/fstab.mt6763..
4 open that file and search for ( should be line 15)
Code:
/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,noauto_da_alloc,errors=panic wait,check,quota,formattable,resize,[COLOR="blue"]forceencrypt[/COLOR]=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/[COLOR="Blue"]metadata[/COLOR],
5. edit the file to this
Code:
/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,noauto_da_alloc,errors=panic wait,check,quota,formattable,resize,[COLOR="red"]encryptable[/COLOR]=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/[COLOR="Red"]userdata[/COLOR],
6.save and turn off the phone
Flash TWRP with Flashtools
1. now just place the downloaded TWRP recovery to the created "new folder" on your desktop
(where the boot.img and scatter.txt is in)
2. start flashtools choose that folder and press on start
3 connect phone to pc via usb ... wait until its done.
4. congrats you have a working TWRP
Because i dont own this Phone anymore i dont know the button combinations to boot direct into TWRP , but you also can use a playstore app for that , just serch for a advanced power menu in playstore..

DISCLAIMER:
I AM NOT RESPONAIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ON THE PHONE. ALSO I DONT OWN THE PHONE AND CANT HELP YOU
IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT DO TO OR WHAT IS ROOT OR TWRP , PLEASE CLOSE THIS SIDE AND USE GOOGLE SEARCH TO LEARN A FEW THINGS FIRST.

Thanks works perfectly.

Make a fullwipe in recovery.

Wipe /format data is the right path.

Just doing a wipe in twrp fixed it, thanks

It is work in z2 pro?

does this fstab.mt6763 edit work for one pro to make the twrp read the /data ? everything else is not working and wipe data is pointless since it will just encrypt again when you enter in the operating system.

Umi One Pro
Umidigi One Pro works great according to your instructions, but the camera does not work anymore. Is there a solution, is the error known? More precisely, she does not save the photos.
Thank you

Can I get a reupload of this? Getting an error when I go to link in OP

Finally working thank you very much for this, had issue with gboard & password at first but did the wipe/factory reset & all good now, one question, will this be permanent for the recovery so that I can now install custom rom?

Anyone know what this error is?
If I try to upload the amended boot.img (or TWRP for that matter) from SP Flash Tool v5.1824.00 to the Umidigi One Pro, switching on after pressing Download, I get this. If I also hold down the Volume Up key, the bar goes across the bottom, but I get the same error, and the rooted boot.img has not been uploaded.
I'm using Linux, but I never had this problem with previous phones, Cubot X12, Manito and Max.
Error:
-------------------------------------
ERROR : STATUS_PRELOADER_INVALID (-1073545212) , MSP ERROE CODE : 0x00.
[HINT]:
--------------------------
It worked in Windows 7. I knew it would come in handy one day!

I have a nicely rooted Umidigi One Pro with TWRP and Magisk!
I think the instructions for rooting this phone should start with the warning: Do the minimum to get the phone started, because once you successfully add TWRP, the phone will have to be factory-wiped from TWRP before you can log back into Android!
Still, I'm pleased even though I ended up doing a lot of things twice. Don't tell anyone, but so far Magisk has foxed Barclaycard! I felt when I read the reviews that it might need root in order to correct errors that seem to be 100% software related.

Same here:
The native Camera program doesn't show any sort of preview. After a while there is an error message as follows:
"Can't connect to the camera. Please make sure to close other apps that may use camera or flashlight".
Open Camera takes perfect movies and pictures through the front camera, and saves them. It takes movies through the rear camera, and saves them, but locks up on stills, whether or not flash is enabled. I've seen threads where this behaviour is reported on rooted OnePlus phones, so I'm hope of a resolution.

Unfortunately Open Camera does not work either, the same problem. Photos can not be saved. In what state should the device be in front of the flash? (Delete data completely)
Thank you

I've decided to unroot for now. I'll wait until some better ROMs become available, rather than just adding root to the existing one. My favourite on my old Cubot Max was CrDroid. I had camera problems with all rooted ROMs except that one! To make matters worse, the Barclaycard app suddenly realised that the phone was rooted and stopped working!
Already the standard camera and Open Camera are working now. My main source of rooted fun was messing around with boot animations, but the opening screen on One Pro is surprisingly cool despite being static.

Thanks, its is a lot easier to do with adb file manager thingy software I found online, connecting to pc via usb gives full access to phone file system partitions with root access, just deleting the files with it also works. :thumbup:
Why are SMARTphones soo... Freaking Dumb?
Or via adb
Connect phone/tablet to pc
In adb type:
adb delete("/system/app/Whatever.apk")
Done...
Disadv: USB Debugging must be enabled...
You sir are awesome, I flashed a zip that caused my Xperia U to bootloop and I couldn't delete the file I flahed via ADB! This is a simple yet amazing script, thanks for avoiding me to wipe data

The story before the events bootloop or whatever name this problem, So as I recall before this incident I edit files and install Tweaks build.prop with applications My pimp and try other features, it works, but when I restart my device. You know what happened. when just stopped in my logo I does not do anything just to wait so that I fell asleep and when I woke up I realized this a bootloop Or what ? I do not know his name.
At that time I was just doing the usual way way., list.
(Wipe data / Factory reset)
(Wipe cache partition)
(reboot system now)
but no change
(Restore user data)
(backup user data)
(Reboot again)
Still same
(Apply update from ADB - I do not have a pc)
(Apply update from sdcard - No have ORIGINAL ROM, BACKUP ROM, CUSTOM ROM Etc.)
(Apply update from cache - I do not understand what this)

Hi Thanks for the instructions,

And if i do the update then, will i loose root ?

I know they will release UI2 version... Can not wait to try it.
:laugh:
I also have trouble with GPS - sometimes it works good, sometimes it looses signal frequently (with GPS test - i see it drop from using 10 sattelites to zero in less then a second...)
Is the GPS zip file you posted the same as if i use the APK GpsFix ?( i tried a lot of programs and put different GPS Conf. files but none of them solved my problem)
Tanx in advance

[TUT][ROOT+CWM+GAPPS]InFocus M512 Root, CWM and GApps tutorial.

So there is a bargain chinese 4G phone called the 'InFocus M512'.
The problem with it is that it comes without Google Apps and also is not rooted (sometimes is). Also it does not have CWM Recovery.
So this quick tutorial shows you how to root, install CWM Recovery and install google apps on the M512.
I'm not responsible for any damage
Rooting:
Method 1
1.Go to settings>>Security>>Check Unknown Sources tap OK.
2.Download this file.
3.Install
4.Run and tap 'get root' or somthing like that.
5.Delete KingRoot and some chinese app, but DO NOT DELETE KingUser!
6.Done!
Method 2
Flash CWM Recovery using the 2nd method from this post. If you have rooted usign the first method use method 1 from that post.
Download UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip (i used 2.46)
Reboot into CWM.
Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip, press power button
Reboot now
GApps
1.Download this zip file
2.Reboot into CWM.
3.Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select the file, press power button
4.Reboot now.
How to delete KingUser (only if you have SuperSU and it is working)
Download ES File explorer, enable root explorer, go to /system/app and delete KingUser.
So this is how to get root, cwm and gapps on the m512.
First Method no good for me
I put the kingroot file in the adb tools folder and used the install command. It wasn't clear from the above whether the phone needed to be in recovery or some other mode so I tried a few times, in recovery mode and again just connected as an mtp device in the normal way. Either way the result was the same, it said "Invalid APK File: KingRoot.......".
I will have a go at the CWM thing next.
I am still on the 103A ROM that the phone came to me with - I have been trying, on and off, without success to update and then root it , for months.
When trying to flash an update ROM it tells me that the update package has unexpected contents and the there is an error in the update file and then says "Status 7". You can read all about my lack of success on this forum under the threads M512 started by Galaxy Why.
I'm trying, I really am....
Let me start by saying thanks for making the effort to post what you know and so to help people like me, however.
I tried to follow the method 2 (as I don't have root) from your other post (the one linked to above with the words "the 2nd method from this post" but got stuck.
Your instructions in normal my comments in italics.
Method 2: (No root)
1.Connect your phone via USB to your PC. OK
2.Enable MTP. OK
3.Enable USB Debugging. Settings>Developer Options> tick USB Debugging. OK
4.On your computer, 2 drives will appear: One of them is a CD-Rom which contains all drivers. OK
5.Click on that CD-Rom and it will install all drivers. It doesn't, or it may do, but what it definately does is asks me to put a disc in the drive and tries to do some kind of dir_all in windows explorer - I would post a screenshot here but this page only allows URL's- and I'm not sure how to go about that.. but I think I've managed to upload a screenshot....
After waiting for 5 minutes or so to see if something would happen as the green progress bar ground to a halt but the busy circle continued I hit the cancel button on the "please insert a disc dialogue" and then ploughed on anyway ....
6.Plug phone in again. Now this had me confused, I assume you mean unplug AND THEN plug the phone in again.
7.Download the .ZIP file and extract it somewhere. Which/what zip file do you mean exactly?? I couldn't get past this.
8.Click on _install_cwm_6.0.5.1.cmd
9.Your phone will ask you something, just tick "always allow from this computer" and hit OK.
10.Your phone will reboot into DL Mode, then it will reboot again.
11.Recovery is installed.
It's late and I'm tiring so sorry if missed something obvious. Any advice?

Looks like you don't have a adb driver
And... why do you want to root your phone? Installing CWM is not root required.
M512 comes with a unlocked bootloader, just boot into bootloader and you can flash anything you like.
I made a customized stock rom based on version 2280, bloatwares removed and Google Play framework included. (You can download the apps back from Play Store, if you needs those)
Now the phone has 2.09GB free spaces :victory:
If you were interested on it, I can upload it and give you a link.

I am interested in the custom rom you made for this phone. There's so little info on this model.

[FIX] Realme 3 Pro overheating after root

Use TWRP File Manager:
Don't forget to MOUNT SYSTEM AND VENDOR
1. Open /system_root/system/oppo , you'll se recovery_rootcheck and ck.fs inside, DELETE THEM.
2. Then there's another 2 of them in /vendor/oppo, DELETE them from there too.
3. Last but not least, delete recovery-from-boot.bak from /system_root/system
4. Enjoy your "new" phone!
Oh and btw it confirmed working for all ColorOS devices ?
Failed to unmount '/system_root ' (Device or resource busy )
rm -rf "/system_root/system/oppo/sk.fs" process ended with ERROR : 1
The same with all files
I am on Havoc 2.8 GSI and this worked. I only needed to delete those 2 files from vendor/oppo and now my screen-on battery usage is normal, down to 6-8% range, whereas i had 10-12% before. This saved me about 4% per hour of battery. Thanks for sharing Den.
Do all steps but still red blink ?

Btw did u flash this after using rom? Because it seems like that it'll only work if u flashed rom and then flash this, magisk, then reboot. It works very nicely on me. Thx.
In your step i don't find any flashing guide, but after i read the comment i found that we should flash some. Zip. Should i flash or just follow your guide (just delleting some items) thanks before.

A buggy twrp for A60, but not sure for M40.

I have made and got a buggy twrp for A6060, which is the Chinese version of M40, based on android-11. It can startup but lacking mtp and usb. It can't decrypt the /data too so you should do some preparations before can use it. I am not sure whether it can be used on M40.
Usage in shorts:
① Magisk and root. You can find the guide in this forum so I will pass it.
② Using a file manager to access /system/vender/etc/fstab.qcom, in the part of /userdata delete the field of "fileencryption=ice" (usually sth. like this, not includes the quotation marks), same and quit.
③ Enter recovery and wipe data. Then use odin flash this recovery: Just zip it to .tar file then flash in the AP slot.
④ When startup, press VOLUMN UP & POWER. If everything goes well, you will see the logo of twrp and enter it and can successfully access the files in /data. Then you can copy some gsi and have a try.

Hope it will be helpful and I really hope somebody can make it a ture and full device tree. That will definetely benefit both A60 and M40 users.
The twrp for A60: https://github.com/Jason-summer/Action-Recovery-builder
The source of the twrp: https://github.com/Jason-summer/device_samsung_a60q/tree/android-11
Sorry for my poor English if causing someone confused.

It works for me. But you should decrypt your phone first before you try to flash sth. or you may found /data a pile of random code.

If it's not difficult, can you please write instructions? I think this will help many who want to flash
