"Portable" TWRP porter [MTK] [TWRP 3.0.2 - 3.1.1]

There are many k8/k10 models and each models have many different firmware which requires unique TWRPs.
It's impossible to make only one TWRP working for all models however this tool can help you easily port your own TWRP (from 3.0.2 to 3.1.1, whichever you prefer).
This srcipt is only for MTK devices. Qualcomm support can be added once anyone having a qualcomm device will be able to boot into anything from fastboot.
(at the moment no one can "fastboot boot any.img" on a qualcomm device)
TWRP 3.0.2:
Just download this file: http://viid.me/qopRut)
(for 32bit windows download this: http://viid.me/qopRlZ)
TWRP 3.1.0:
http://viid.me/qRlxPx (64bit windows)
TWRP 3.1.1:
http://destyy.com/qFank3 (64bit windows)
http://corneey.com/q4KEZt (32bit windows)
Uncompress it, put your stock recovery image (usually it's "recovery_190464.bin") into the uncompressed folder ("twrp_port" or "twrp_port_x86" in case of 32bit version) and run "twrp_port.bat"
You will get your ported TWRP ("yourTWRP.img") for your device in that folder and you can use it to root your phone (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/friendly-root-method-lg-k8-k10-t3531223).
---------------------------------------
How to get your stock recovery image:
Fisrt you need the kdz firmware of your device:
1. method:
- reboot your phone into download mode (http://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-k10/download-mode/)
- start LG Bridge, go to software update and chose update error recovery (right bottom corner).
- from here follow kappu's guide to get your .kdz file: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/guide-downloading-kdz-lg-bridge-t3504497
- you can let lg bridge finish the flashing process, no data will be lost.
2. method:
- download firmware for your device:
k10: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/stock-versions-model-lg-k10-t3457319
k8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/lg-k8-k350nds-stock-kdz-firmware-t3456467
- now you have your kdz however you better do the next step if you are not sure thats the exact firmware your device has
- use lg up (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/flashing-firmware-using-lg-t3517839) to flash that firmware on your device (just to make sure you are really using that particular firmware)
- all data will be lost
Now you have your kdz, lets extract the recovery image:
- download lg firmware extractor: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575
- upack it somewhere and put the kdz file into that folder
- run "WindowsLGFirmwareExtract.exe"
- open your kdz file (first open button from above)
- tick the first entry under file name (the .dz file) and click on "Extract KDZ"
- you will get that .dz file extracted in your LGFirmwareExtract folder
- close LG Firmware extractor and open it again
- now open .dz file (second open button from above)
- find your stock recovery image under file name (usually it's "recovery_190464.bin"), tick that entry and click on "Extract DZ"
- your stock recovery image will be extracted in the LGFirmwareExtract folder.
Now you just copy this "recovery_190464.bin" (or whatever it's name is - just make sure it's a .bin file) into the "twrp_port" folder and run "twrp_port.bat"
Do not flash it on your device!
No TWRP's can be flashed for good on these LGs... yet...
Only use "fastboot boot yourTWRP.img"
If you succesfully ported and tested your TWRP, please upload and share it with us with the proper description of your model and firmware version!

No need for that i'ts not urgent, I don't even need the recovery since I don't want to lose waranty, I wanted to play with it to see what's around and so. On what os do you use extractor is it xp or 7 or 10?

Gott any method on how to flash it permanently and stop the system on overwriting the recovery. It seems that twrp is one of the important thing needed.

Well... i think usually you have a PC nearby when you test something new on your phone...
However with the new security patch it's actually impossible to root or flash anything modded but using the new 3.1.0 twrp you can delete the stock apps which is the most imprortant aim of rooting our device (i guess). So no more new project on my side...

One more thing does the K10 only have fastboot mode and no recovery mode even a stock recovery?

Does anyone out there have a Gome U7 and knows how to root it?

I bought this phone in aliexpress and i'm pretty satisfied so far. Except by the fact that it's a totally obscure phone. You can't even find cases for it.
Anyway, the real problem is the lack of root methods. I tried all the root apks out there without success, and there is no known way to unlock the boot loader.
So, as a last effort, i'm trying to find someone that maybe managed to root this phone and could share the knowlege with us. Or at least find some other Gome U7 owners to share this frustation.
Thank you!

From the Aliexpress listing I found, this is MTK6757CD Android 7.1 Nougat. It shouldn't be so difficult to root.
Have you been able to backup / dump the firmware?

Yes, thats the model!.
About the backup, i don't tried it yet, but i supose i can via ADB comands.
The problem is that none of the root apks work, and i can't try to install a root script via the default recovery.

Holy fuc...king cow! I did it!
The dificulty of finding the files for this phone made this task much dificult than it shoul be, but anyway, for the possible people that come accros this thread, that's how i did it:
download the mtk drivers here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jbxsq68g8dd4gk6/MTK_USB_All_v1.0.8.zip
download the stock rom here: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8hMx/N7fqf8X62
Put the stock rom's boot.img on your phone;
Install the magisk apk, click install, and then use the patch boot.img function;
Select the boot.img from the stock rom;
After the patch, replace the patched version with the original version on the rom folder on your PC;
Use the SP flash tool to flash it.
And that's it!
I can't believe it took me four days to figure this out hahaha
Anyway, i hope it helps someone. Have a great day.
Edit: unfortunately the bootloader is still locked, so i can't flash magisk modules. Is there a way to use root privelege to unlock it?

@SkynyrdZ The Link you provided for the stock ROM is for USB drivers.
Possible to link to a western Gome U7 stock rom with playstore on?
Thank you

Is that the only stock ROM out there?
I know it's a chinese phone but it originally had western stock ROM when arrived - As in playstore was available on it. Chinese version is very stubborn in trying to install western apps - Playstore for one does not open when you install via alt options.

I didn't really flash it, i just used the bootloader file on it for the root process. My device came with the stock android rom, with gapps pre-installed.
But as far as i know, you can have play store on any android. Just make sure you install google play services alongside.

I didn't try it because it seens fake to me. Also, the bootloader on this phone is locked, so fastboot comands didn't work when i tried. The only way i could flash anything was with SPtool.
But there's a group out there called twrp builder that compiles the twrp recovery to a lot of devices. I'm trying to put the gome u7 on their queue, but right now, they are busy with a lot of builds.

As you said the bootloader can not unlock why it need TWRP for?

The phone bootloader can lock and unlock as will.
Phone in fastboot mode: ADB command "fastboot oem unlock" then Push Vol+ on the phone to confirm unlock.
But I got the boot loop to TWRP every reboot after following steps to root the phone.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (twrp down load at https://unofficialtwrp.com/gome-u7-twrp-3-2-root/)
Boot to recovery ( this Twrp won't save the language which selected)
Format Data
Reboot to recovery again.
Install magisk
install No verity opt encrypt.zip.
wipe Caches/Davik...
reboot to system but it boot loop to recovery (twrp).
I have to reinstall original recovery.img and lock bootloader in order for my phone to boot normal again. After the phone boot up , install magisk.apk manager to get root.

Try to flash patched boot & twrp recovery image inside rar file with SP flash tool v5.1844.00.00 use their scatter file.

Wow, my device just could'nt comunicate with the adb via fastboot. I selcted the OEM unlock on the phone and inatalled the mtk drivers.
What i did wrong?
Also, you said that you had to install the stock recovery to the phone boot again, so you dont have twrp on the phone?

Question Magisk support for Nord CE2

While the device is the cheapest offering from OnePlus, it's quite difficult to root it still..
* I somehow unlocked the bootloader after downloading dimensity drivers and using fastboot.
* The immediate next step was to extract boot.img from stock rom using payload dumper.. easy enough right? Apparently not!!.. There is no stock rom available on the OnePlus site for this device and it doesn't even support local upgrades..
There's no TWRP, Orangefox or any other recovery to install magisk as of yet.. I wonder what's wrong with the device and why one has to try so hard to root a simple phone..
If you're reading this and know a way to root, please help out..

Well it's a pretty new phone so that's why there's not much available for it yet. Have you tried googling oneplus ce 2 root. There's several guides but can't vouch for any of them.

I did Google for the rooting guides . But these are just generic with device name replaced by Nord ce2.. some sites don't even realise it's a dimensity processor and explain wrong procedures to unlock bootloader..
The one that concerned me was OnePlus official webpage showing model doesn't support local upgrades .. I couldn't find the security patch download I received a week ago too(in my phone's ota directory)

Could you provide the steps for root as well as the drivers and stock ROM?

You'll need to install mediatec dimensity drivers to enter fastboot and unlock bootloader/OEM..
From there on, you're pretty much on your own as OnePlus hasn't yet released any stock firmware yet and no custom recovery is supporting Nord ce 2

No custom recovery is supporting it YET. It's only just been released, sure these things will happen the more people buy the phone and the longer it's out.

Question Nord 2T 5G Full Factory ROM/Firmware with Scatter file for Unbricking

After successfully rooting my Nord 2T by backing up and then patching the stock boot.img I proceeded to patch the inactive slot within Magisk (it was unecessary of me..) and after rebooting entered a loop. Anyone know where I can get the factory ROM? I was on the May patch. Thanks in advance!

I am also looking for the factory OTA image.
How did you get the boot.img exactly?

Good ol SP Flash but I think the backed up images are corrupted hence the need of factory firmware to use it to restore my device.

Apologies I did not realise you still needed the firmware. I have mirrored it here if you still need it May Patch Full ROM

So extracting boot. img from your file won't be enough to do Root right?

You can't extract from the firmware. You must use spflash tool to pull the boot.img from the device (mediatek devices are a bit different to Snapdragon devices)
I'm going to do it today but I had to bring my daughter to the hospital after a fall she had which required stitches.
Once I have it extracted I might write a guide on how to do it with links to all firmware needed and have a thread where we will have both the stock and magisk patched boot.img's available.
Been like 6 weeks and no root on my device, this is the longest I have went without rooting in almost 7 years

Thanks. I rooted mine within a day but went too far with patching the inactive slot via Magisk and now phone is soft bricked. If you are still interested in extracting the boot image for patching then use this tool. I tried to use it to flash the payload.bin but phone still not booting. I even flashed all the extracted images manually in fastbootd. I guess the OTA file doesn't contain all the files needed to restore the device back to its factory state.
Anyone with the full firmware containing the SP Flash Scatter file please share it. You'll be saving everyone else. I bought my phone on a trip and there are no OnePlus repair centers over here so won't be using my phone until I can restore it myself

Hello
Can't you upload this zip file somewhere else?
Each time download is not finished.

Saw you were able to fully extract the payload.bin so could you mirror the files as well..

Issue is now resolved Thanks @Riski3Run and @garylawwd
Alternatively extracting and flashing the payload.bin ALSO works. No need to extract the images just use this beautiful tool

Hi Garylawwd, when I click on the link it displays an empty folder. Can you perhaps reupload the firmware? My device is bricked and I'm unable to find the stock rom and scatter file for CPH2399 :/

Were you on the latest June security patch?

Yes I was on the June patch, but I completely messed up my Phone.. can't boot into recovery or fastboot, screen stays black.
When I plug in the phone my computer recognizes it as Mediatek usb port.
When I try to use mtk_gui it is able to connect but it freezes after DA extension and thus I'm unable to read or write anything from or to the device via mtk_gui.
I hope that I can flash the stock firmware via SP flash tool, otherwise I will probably need to send it to OP repairs centre.
But to flash via SP flash tool I do need the firmware + scatter file. ATM I'm unable to find them.

I am unable to create the scatter file via MTKDroid it says --- Unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!

How can a BOOT.IMG be extracted from an Android Phone if there is no Stock Firmware ROM available?

Hi! Are there any pro’s out there that can help out with some issues, we are having with 3 phones.
It would be greatly appreciated. I believe we are not the only ones.
How can a BOOT.IMG be extracted from an Android Phone if there is no Stock Firmware ROM available?
All 3 phones manufactured in 2022.
The Bootloader is unlocked for all 3. USB Debugging is turned on.
- Moxee m2160 MH-T6000 only boots to Fastboot & Recovery. I have tried to restore but it will not restore.
- Vortex V22 has a GSI Pixel Experience Plus 13 ROM installed and is unable to go back to factory ROM image.
- ANS ACK2326 is on a stock Android 12 ROM and hasn’t been modified but has a build number kirk2_v1 2.0_BTM-ST.
Is it possible to get a Generic BOOT.IMG to modify for root?
Are there other ROMS like GSI’s with a BOOT.IMG that could work to try to get root?
Are there other ways to get root without a BOOT.IMG?
Is there a way to parse the entire phone to compile a BOOT.IMG?
The manufacturers were contacted. No system firmware ROM is available online that we could find after searching. We don’t have any experience searching china websites or know where to begin. If someone knows where we could find the stock ROM's on a China website that would be a great help!
Are we SOL? Are phones that don’t publish stock firmware that secure that if you need a BOOT.img from stock firmware to get to access the entire encrypted rom, you are out of luck?
Or, would we need a Jtag hardware reader?
Thank you in advance for your time and help which is greatly appreciated!

The boot image contains the kernel for that specific device; there is no such thing as a "generic boot image", as the kernel has to have the basic drivers for that specific device's hardware.
It's possible to dump the boot image if you already have root, but I'm assuming that the whole reason you want the boot image is to patch it with Magisk to gain root.
The alternative, if TWRP is available, is to use ADB through TWRP to dump the boot partition.
If you can't use TWRP and aren't rooted, there is no way to dump the boot partition through fastboot.

Thanks you for the reply! That is correct. Our ultimate goal is to gain root on these devices. Is Magisk the only root pathway or are there other rooting options?
Can you use ADB Shell, ADB root and dd to pull the boot partitions?
There is not a TWRP available for these devices. How would you go about making a TWRP for these phones? Do you need the stock firmware?

No, but it is the most popular and arguably the best

No, because again you need root to run adbd as root. I could be wrong...

I am not a developer so I have no idea but I imagine you'd need the original kernel source, yes.

If u have mtk there are many options
1:using mtk client
2: using mtk bypass and wwr2
Then if u have snapdragon u need the gfil software and the phone firehose programmer

another risky way is to flash rooted GSI. but in case it boot loops, you are screwed without stock ROM. the user @gregeerg ended up with a semi bricked phone, luckily he was able to pull boot.img from adb, so another member @Jet! with same device could finally root his phone and provide super.img for unbrick. So this method is only working if you have two identical phones.

I actually had or was going to ask this if there is a way to access firmware from the hardware level. Somehow the post never got posted or deleted.
Anyway, with MTK Client & QFIL, how complicated is it to extract the firmware from a device? Will it work with all devices, or will I run into issues with newer devices? I will do some researching on these and see what I can find. Thank you!

Interesting. Where can I get a rooted GSI? I tried to searching but couldn't find anything. Is there a special way to search for one. I would be willing to try this. I had a boot loop on one and a unofficial unrooted PixelExp13 GSi fixed it.

Thank you! I'm assuming these are all GSI builds from LOS 16-20? Am I also correct in saying the difference in the bgN, bvN, bvS, files? b = a/b system, g = gapps installed, v = vanilla - no gapps installed. N = No Root? S = Root?
To get a GSI that is already rooted, I must install the file with S in the filename?

OMG Thank you alecxs! Bravo! This is exactly what I was looking for! One install with no stock ROM rooted successfully!, two more to go. And especially thanks to andyyan for making this GSI image possible!

May I ask you which of your devices listed above did you get it to work on the reason I ask is I have 2 of those phones am I'm trying to do the same thing. Thanks

The Vortex V22 I got to work successfully with a GSI root. I was able to get root with the Moxee but I have yet to get a custom rom or working GSI rom. I'll post when I get a working rom with the Moxee. The ANS has been a bit of trouble because I cannot get the BL unlocked even though it has OEM unlocking turned on.

Did anyone ever figure out how to unlock the bootloader yet?

I do know it is available somewhere and most likely password protected but to my knowledge it hasn't been made publicly yet. I'm still waiting as well. I've be able to do some workarounds with the stock rom but I would really like to get access to the firmware or boot image.

I know right! I cant find hardly anything on the ACK2326 at all! I wish they would go ahead and make it public already.
