Install custom recovery and root on Cubot J5? - General Questions and Answers

I have tried for a few days to install a custom recovery but no luck. Perhaps someone can give me some advice?
I have tried Mediatek (MTK) Auto TWRP recovery porter, version 1.5 but it didn´t work.
This aswell twrp-recovery-cubot-j5-root from getdroidtips but nope...
Chip on phone Mtk6580 and android 9.
Updated to the latest firmware release via spflashtool from cubot own site.
I guess that im to much of a newbie to get this done...
But atleast its updated, my main goal is to root the phone so thats why i need a custom recovery.
Thx in advance, and sorry for my english grammar, not my main language. :laugh:

My dear friend did you try:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/how-to-root-cubot-j5-and-install-twrp-recovery/
btw why didn't Mediatek Auto TWRP recovery porter work? what was the issue?

I have the same problem the thread starter indicates in the title: I can install the TWRP recovery image that gopikrishnanrmg linked, but the installation of Magisk doesn't work. It says it installs successfully, but I can't get root rights and if I install the Magisk app, it says that Magisk is not installed. Magisk canary doesn't work either. Does someone have an idea what I might have done wrong? Or does that mean that the device is not supported by Magisk?

Sorry for the late answer, life happens
I get it installed with that guide after unlocking flash state, but when it reboots it give me a message "orange state" and the phone resets.
and the recovery porter did not work for me, maybe i´m to old for this hehe was a while since i rooted a device, and i´m defenitly no hacker
btw if you need to look on the firmware cubot(dot)net has a downloadable link for the j5.

I have the same problem and I can't do anything about it, maybe some specific source or a hint in the form of YT

Has anyone figured out how to upload Twrp recovery to Cubot J5 ????

I was able to root Cubot J5.

I tried flashing your files but unfortunately got a bootloop again . I was on the same stock software, unlocked bootloader and tried to flash as you described.

Cause of bootloop.
1. vbmeta.img is not flushed.
2. The firmware version is different.
The version of this file is "CUBOT_J5_9061C_V14_20200506".

Thanks for your reply! When i woke up today i thought i can just as well restore the stock rom but found the phone booting.
The boot was just taking way longer because of the factory reset (through oem unlock).
I just installed the root checker and it is working fine!
After years of having this phone and trying to root it you just saved it. Thank you!
Do you have plans to install GSI images on it as well?
*update* i'm able to boot a lineageos 18.1 GSI with your images. I flashed the system and afterwards your boot, recovery and vbmeta and it worked.
*update2* I wanted gApps so i tried the lineageos 19.1 image which was too big. After that i tried an AOSP one with lite gApps.
I think i messed up badly. I can't get back into fastboot and not even the spflash tool is able to flash something. When pressing Volume down+power it briefly detects it but won't write the firmware. I'll try different versions later and report back but for now it's dead
*uodate3* It's back again. I had to re-install the mediatek drivers for the tool to work. After a stock boot i was able to unlock the bootloader and install LOS again. I will go for an image with gapps next.
Thank you again for providing your images and support!

You really helped a lot. I'm always glad to tinker with spare phones.
For anyone else stumbling upon this thread trying to install a GSI image: Here is how i succeeded.
1. Enable unlocking in your developer settings
2. Use "fastboot flashing unlock" to enable flashing (this performs a factory reset)
3. wipe your system partition with "fastboot erase system"
4. Flash your GSI image wizh "fastboot flash system 'path-to-your-GSI' "
5. flash the provided vbmeta with "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta 'path-to-vbmeta.img' "
I had success with lineageos 18 A/B with gapps. Make sure that it's not too big in size or else you will get an error message stating it is too big.
If you have troubles getting into recovery/fastboot, use the SPflashtool to revover your stock firmware (be sure to NOT format all because you will lose your IMEI information in that process!) and try again

Hi,
i tried to root my Cubot J5 by doing the following:
flash system system.img (from CUBOT_J5_9061C_V14_20200506 .zip)
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-23000_boot.img
fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched-23000_recovery.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
reboot in recovery mode
When check for root with root checker basic, systems says, that magisk is crashed several times. And after this root checker states that no root is granted.
Any idea?

Hi i am a newbie to rooting. Could you please give me detailed steps. I understood till the point of flashing twrp. After that do I have to wipe data and flash magisk right then? (I have tried installing twrp 2 times but every time after installing and restarting it shows android recovery only.)
One more thing, will I be able to upgrade to oreo through OTA if I have the stock android recovery ( although bootloader is unlocked)?

You need to boot your device (lenovo k8 plus) from this twrp. To do this type following code in cmd.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-name.img
This will boot you to recovery mode (just wait couple seconds),the screen may be black if so,then press the power button and swipe to unlock the recovery screen. Now you have to flash the same twrp-recovery.img file into recovery partition.
If you don't flash twrp-recovery image during that live recovery session,you will not be able to reboot to twrp recovery again.
But if you don't want twrp recovery permanently,just need root access,then you can flash only magisk .zip during this live session and reboot your phone and install magisk manager apk and patch the stock boot image.By this process your phone will have root access without a TWRP recovery.

1. What did you mean by "Now you have to flash the same twrp-recovery.img file into recovery partition." Please give detailed steps of how to do that once I reach the twrp screen after flashing twrp. sorry but I am new to all this
2. I have now rooted my phone by flashing patched_boot.img from dhruv aggarwal's post. Now how do I install twrp without losing root? Please give detailed steps(like what command, recovery mode or not...). Can I just flash the twrp.img file you have provided in the post using flashify app?
sorry for troubling you.

You can not flash TWRP in fastboot on this device. And that never worked for this device. I know it worked on lots of previous Android devices (standard method to install TWRP). But you should wipe from your mind that notion that it works on the 7 Pro.
The process for Android 9 was to boot TWRP (very different from flash TWRP). But fastboot boot command doesn't work on the Android 10 update. This is similar to the situation when the 7 Pro was first released, and OnePlus fixed the fastboot boot command a bit later.
Current root method, is to flash a patched boot image. But lots of folks seem to be having trouble rooting the new Android 10 stable (even using the proper method). Flashing the stock boot.img is another option (to get the phone working, but no root).
First fastboot stucked
Second no partition found

You are not supposed to "flash" twrp through windows. Once you "boot" with windows, you install twrp through twrp.

False, it was possible on android 9 to flash twrp on this device. It worked perfectly. With android 10 that's not possible unfortunately unless you have it already installed on android pie and you are upgrading. Use the unofficial twrp latest build and flash it after you flash the android 10 update in twrp and you are golden.
Hello All,
I decided to hop back in and root my device. I'm running into the same issue as OP. I try to boot into TWRP and i just get a "fastboot mode" screen. Can anyone clarify if this is doable as of now? and how?
Sorry, I havent rooted a phone in 7+ years.

That doesn't seem to work for me since I can't see my case, which is the same as @Jarek84
Only the stock boot.img boots for me. magisk_patched.img puts me in a bootloop and I'm stuck at the fastboot logo whenever I try to fastboot boot twrp.img (neither official nor the .65 one here, the modified one).
Any help would be appreciated to get root and twrp back.

. Have you tried patching your own boot.img instead of flashing the one provided on the guide?

If you read a little more carefully you will see that the thread you're linking to says exactly what redpoint73 wrote. I.e. in order to flash TWRP one must first fastboot boot the TWRP-image, and then flash the TWRP-zip from within TWRP.
No one said it's not possible to flash TWRP. What was said was that it's not possible to do it from fastboot.
Cheers.

Obviously you cannot flash from fastboot, but what I'm referencing to is that it was said "twrp cannot be flashed from fastboot" , but that it can be achieved by the method i pointed out to get to recovery to flash. It's not just a case of saying it cannot be flashed and covered the method in one sweeping statement. There is a method, but as we all know, this is not possible currently with Android 10

Once you have booted recovery, you are no longer in fastboot.
Just try a fastboot command while in TWRP, and see how that works for you.

Hold on a sec. If you are going to act in a childish manner how are we to discuss this properly.
To even get to twrp you have to use the .img file in fastboot. So "fastboot flash recovery filename.img"
So you are flashing in fastboot to get to twrp recovery.
Your comment said that you couldn't flash twrp via fastboot and never could with this phone. That's half correct. What I'm saying is you can flash the .img file to access twrp before flashing the zip file on Android pie. Unfortunately that's not the case with Android 10.

Wrong. Your command is incorrect.
The correct command is: fastboot boot twrp.img
Once you are booted to TWRP, you can than flash TWRP installer zip (not the TWRP img).
Just look at the post you quoted above in response #14.
This phone does not even have a recovery partition. Recovery resides on boot.img for this device due to A/B partition scheme.
My original statements hold as correct.

This phone does not have a recovery partition. Recovery resides on boot.img for this device.
My original statements hold as correct.

O my God, that recognised contributor tag is going to your head.
The command with "boot" boots into TWRP recovery. The command with "flash", flashes the .img file in fastboot mode on Android pie.

Stock rom of Doogee S96 pro

Dear community,
I have a doogee S96 pro, I'm from Italy, and I installed TWRP from the unofficaltwrp guide.
Now I'm no more able to boot, the phones goes directly to the recovery.
Probably magisk was no able to patch the system and to disable the tm verity (avb). I have a super partition, and from what I saw the fstab is inside the vendor partition inside super.
Doogee does not provide stock roms, so I cannot restore the phone as factory settings, that's why I open this thread.
Is someone available to help me booting into Android or available to give me the stock boot/recovery img? It's a fast and safe procedure, I can give more details on how to do.
Thank you!
Dear @giubenez I had a similar problem. But after I got in touch with doogee support they sent me the firmware. I want to share it with you and with any other person that wants to ROOT THE DOOGEE S96 PRO
The following link is the firmware and upgrade tool. Please open and download.
Please note that if your computer system is French you need to change the name of the downloaded file.
Spoiler: Link
ZN129(S96)
Folder
1drv.ms
When upgrading the firmware, please do not select the 'Format All+Download' option
When flashing the phone, please set up the software first, turn off the phone, and then connect the phone to the computer.
Best wishes
Wow! thank you!!!
You saved... us!
Why doogee does not respond to me? why they not post the firmware on the forum? WTF
@giubenez Im very happy to contribute something. IDK why doogee doesnt list this firmware in their website. I was very lucky to receive an answer to my emails.
Also I successfully rooted my S96 PRO, but I learned a few things in the process that might be helpful to you or anyone trying to root this model.
1) After flashing the boot.img (using magisk method). The device went into a boot loop. I could not enter into recovery mode either. I discovered vbmeta was responsible for the boot loop.
Google introduced vbmeta which is also a verity check. An option to bypass this check is to flash an empty vbmeta.img before attempting to flash TWRP recovery.

I solved this by flashing an empty vbmeta file.
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
You can download the vbmeta.img file I used HERE
2) After flashing vbmeta, the device finally booted and the root was done. But the first time, I noticed all the internal storage folders and files were encrypted. (I know this is normal when you browse files through TWRP, but it happened to me while using the phone in the first boot)
I solved that by wiping > Format Data in TWRP
3) Here you can find the files I used to install TWRP and remove the orange state notification on boot: LINK "Credits to www.getdroidtips.com"

btw a couple of days after your post, another user posted the same folder on https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=1010578&st=340.
I rooted the phone by using the 4pda method (i.e. flashing super.img, boot.img, vbmeta.img). After that I flashed twrp and it was fine. Everything was working.
After that I downloaded the OTA update and the phone is no more able to boot, simply goes to TWRP. I tried formatting data, dalvik and cache but the situation is always the same: when i try to boot i go to the recovery. Any idea? Thank you

I solved in this way:
>fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
(with the empty vbmeta
>fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
(with the stock recovery)
>fastboot reboot
after that the update attempted to start and failed, the phone then boot to android.
The updates always failes after that, so I disabled them.
this is why the update fails..is it because I used the the Russian super img?

#edit: it was because I flashed the wrong recovery. With the correct one, i still have issues with the update: md5 chechsum controll is not passed and the update aborts.
I don't care, I prefer a rooted phone without the updates.
your device has not passed the test and may not work properly - Here is a message on the screen . Constantly overloaded is not included in the recovery. The firmware doesn't help.
Could someone repost the S96Pro stock firmware... I can't find it anywhere online, thanks in advance
I'm uploading them.

Thanks giubenez ,u saved me but now I have the watermark from formatting Google Key State : Fail, I don't see a factory mode file to freeze, tried ADB and couldn't find the build prop values, has anyone else ran into this with a fix?
I can't get what problem are you facing. I unlocked and rooted my s96 pro.
If you describe your issue i can help you solving it.
However, i found very risky to root the phone, if you plan to do the ota updates avoid TWRP since it'll make you bootloop at the moment you try to install the update.
The only way to solve it is to flash the stock recovery through adb.
So.. yeah.
I have recently procured this device and want to install twrp, and stock and/or test a gsi and in what capacity the phone works with one of those.
Enabled both developer mode & the usb debug mode and adb devices lists the device.
N.B; the supplied s96pro cable does not seem to carry data, "presumably" because doogee is cheapskates on cables, as well in the support department. I had to use my sony headphone cable. Go figure, its consequential at least, so there's that.
In any case, read this thread and have downloaded all files, including the apparently new stock rom that is listed since yesterday in the evidently wholesome user Ankiseth's link above.
Questions:
In the 4pda link there are some instructions, specifically the adb command with the boot.img, however.. the links seems to be dead. What to do?
A) Can I first do the vbmeta command and then use our lord and savior Ankiseth's twrp recovery file and follow a generic "Case II: Devices with A/B partition scheme" mentioned in this xda twrp guide?
B) Hope that some other wholesome user share the boot.img file?
(Or, can I use the one in the zip file 'S9S88A7.DGE.DOOGEE.HB.HJ.AYYDVFAZ.1203.V3.04' ?)
-
After twrp is accessible can I use twrp/adb and install either the mentioned shared rom and any gsi for that matter?
I use linux and sure there is spflash, but the adb & twrp combo "subjectively feels" as a more stable way of doing things.
Update 2. Got both twrp and magisk going. Now to figure out if I can install a gsi.
Update, got spflashtool working and used the latest stock rom mentioned in my previous post.
However.
I patched the boot.img from said stock rom in magisk and also flashed twrp-recovery with fastboot.
No luck. Magisk seems not to be installed and the usual twrp gui does not show, seems to be the stock recovery. Got a orange state though.

How To Guide Gaining root access on New Oxygen OS A12 for the op9.

Root OnePlus 9, 9 Pro, 9R Android 12 ColorOS 12 via Magisk
Thi guide will show you how to root the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, and OnePlus 9R running ColorOS 12 Android 12 via Magisk Patched Boot.img
www.droidwin.com
Just sharing what I've learned. Have to patch boot.img and vendor boot.img and flash out of folder in sdk on desktop.Then use vb_meta.img to disable verity flash. Guide above has to be followed to a T. Even though it's for the Chinese version Color os works fine on Oos... Patch boot.img /vendor_boot with magisk 23.0. This way magisk hide and modules work. If you patch with canary version of magisk you loose both. I'm attaching stock boot, vb_meta vendor_boot.img files for the Global unlocked op9. Files are from new A12 os. Btw 23.0 works perfectly on A12. If this helps hit the like button; it's free.
0p9 partitions..A 12 - Google Drive
drive.google.com
This method is overkill for rooting both versions of A12 that were released ,
The best method for a12 with unlocked bootloader is this:
Patch boot.img & copy to adb folder on pc
Reboot to bootloader
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot *nameofpatchedbootimagehere.img*
IF YOUR DOING A CLEAN FLASH OF A12 BEFORE SETUP = fastboot-w
fastboot reboot
Worst case scenario you will have to wipe all data for it to register correctly and boot fully.
The vendor_boot does not need to be patched with the A12 update, you have to disable verity and verification instead of just verification for any device running A12.

I do know that just patching boot.img and flashing it breaks boot and build. Found that out the hard way. Could only reach fastboot no stock recovery . And couldn't fastboot --set-active=other. Wipe data and boot into old oos on opposite slot. I've had msm tool on my desktop and have heard horror stories of people using and it throwing errors and failing. Plugged mine right in booted edl from adb and 512 sec later had a booting device in oxygen oos

I can verify that my method works 100% on build C.36 of A12, because i am currently running it and have redone the steps multiple times to make sure nothing happens that could be bad ,the steps i have listed above in the previous post work perfectly and still let me have root currently, and i have only patched the stock boot.img.

If your wondering how i have come to this doing it the way i did it.
I downloaded and copied the update to desktop and extracted the stock boot and patched it in magisk from the device.
I then i extracted the stock vbmeta image and after flashing the full update via local install from system settings i booted to bootloader and disabled verity and verification and then flash the patched boot image.
I then rebooted into full stock C.36 with root.
I can tell you i did this 5 times before i made the reply to you earlier and verified that it booted every time no issue without patching vendor_boot.

Well first of all, at the time my version of magisk did not support android 12 for patching boot.img
But that has been long fixed, just get the latest magisk version.
And for the next part, if you are trying to root first time, do NOT use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" instead use "fastboot boot boot.img" to temporarily boot the patched version of boot image. That will temporarily give you root access on next power on until you restart. And while you have that temporary root, you can use magisk app to direct install that patched boot image and gain permanent root access.
Also from there after every OTA update BEFORE RESTARTING THE PHONE you can use magisk and "install to inactive slot" to retain your root with the update.
Hope that helped.

So you think the same way the 9 Pro does it would work? The guide there says to grab the stock image, install Magisk app on the phone, patch the image with the app, boot (not flash) the image, then have Magisk direct install. I came here and saw all of this other stuff and was like... nahhh...

If you don't jump magisk across from A11 you have to disable verity with vb_meta partition as well to gain permanent root on A12. This I know it's my post.

TruConnect CloudMobile Stratus C5 Elite Firmware

Hello,
I have been trying to root this device for some time now without success. I know for Magisk to work I need a copy of the boot.img from the stock factory image and I have been unable to find the factory image anywhere. I know there's a way to pull the boot.img from the device itself with TWRP installed but, there's no TWRP image for this device either and I need the recovery.img to port that over. I wonder if there is a way to pull the boot.img and recovery.img from the device without TWRP installed and without root? Perhaps someone knows. I was able to unlock the bootloader in fastboot with: fastboot flashing unlock .
This is a very light device with not a lot of memory or storage and I'd love to be able to tweak it out a bit to remove a lot of clutter and enable it to run smoother and charge faster and hold a charge longer. I removed some bloat through adb. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will attach screenshots of the system specs below. Thank you for your time.

I have that phone at home, I've tried numerous ways to root it with no avail. The ONLY solution I can suggest is finding a program that can extract the entire firmware from the phone and then taking it from there. Plus, with a unlocked bootloader u shouldn't have an issue getting it done. I do remember coming across the topic of firmware extraction online and im pretty sure one of the methods involved ADB, but it's a painstaking process cus u have to extract everything one by one. Search Google about that method. Good luck man.

I found this. I'm not sure who it is. I have not tested it. But a boot image is present. It maybe for Android 10 or 11 but it holds vbmeta as well. If bootloader is unlocked I would assume patch with magisk and flash via fastboot flash boot. I tried many ways to fastboot boot a image as I don't wish to flash a untested image. It always fails so I'm not entirely sure.
******curiosity ed the cat. These do not boot. FML LOL******.
The boot images do not boot. However if I flash the provided vbmeta as fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta /patchedvbmeta.img then the user provided twrp fastboot flash boot /c5twrp.img. I can then fastboot reboot and it will now load twrp with no storage being mounted. I also prior fastboot flashing unlock.

If bootloader is unlocked I would assume patch with magisk and flash via fastboot flash boot. I tried many ways to fastboot boot a image as I don't wish to flash a untested image. It always fails so I'm not entirely sure.

Heres the files for the device I found but again I've tested none
Hey, flashed the boot images and now phone won't boot, which was expected honestly, but how do I restore original firmware from the bin files in the backup.7z archive?

I'm not sure as I did not upload the bin file. However I did find out that boot img and frimware is not for the Android 12 go but 10 go release C5 stratus but the twrp when I flashed to the boot partition would boot it. You can try and see if flashing it will boot the twrp img and ar least your able to use root adb. Otherwise I'm still trying to figure it out. I simply found the files while searching

******curiosity ed the cat. These do not boot. FML LOL******.
The boot images do not boot. However if I flash the provided vbmeta as fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta /patchedvbmeta.img then the user provided twrp fastboot flash boot /c5twrp.img. I can then fastboot reboot and it will now load twrp with no storage being mounted. I also prior fastboot flashing unlock.
Fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Not sure if that worked for critical or not.

Awesome.. I know the C-5 twrp uploaded by the same person worked when I flashed it to the boot partition after the flashed boot img failed for me. If it has a recovery partition maybe you can flash that and try it out to the recovery partition

My bootloader is unlocked, twrp flashed to recovery booting fine when selected from the button combo preloader or whatever, but I still have no boot.img. I only have access to computers running linux right now so rom2box is kinda not a reliable option for me. Is there some way of turning boot.bin and/or boot_para.bin into a bootable boot.img? Or is there any way anybody who still has one of these phones could get a working one from their phone by way of twrp or something? Is the c5 treble compatible?

A boot.bin file is a img. .bin .img .fex .iso are all image files. How large is the boot.bin file. 34mb? 64mb and this bootloader doesn't fastboot boot unless it's got dtb and I'm not familiar with it. Flash the boot.bin and try to boot if your boot slot is already messed up should not be a issue to try.
What ended up working for me was to go to the Advance Fastboot tab in the Android part of rom2box and flash each partition, rebooted after and success. So I fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta vbmeta.bin, which allowed me to fastboot flash recovery twrp-C5.img and it boots fine from the boot selection screen. After/during initial setup, phone did a mandatory system up[date, but since I knew I could reflash and recover from a screw up, I installed Magisk Manager and used it to patch and flash the boot.bin included in the backup and it worked fine. Just figured I'd post an update in case it might help anyone else
