cant access system partition in twrp - General Questions and Answers

hey i want to install a custom rom (gsi) so i hope some people can help me out
main info: i have a ulefone note 9p with mediatek 6762 (runs with mediatek 6765 android scatter) and android 10.
this twrp is a twrp 3.4.0. built for ulefone note 9p i downloaded from here:
unofficial twrp 3.4.0 Root Ulefone Note 9P - unofficial twrp
download unofficial twrp 3.3.1 root Ulefone Note 9P, user who own Ulefone Note 9P can root it by following the below instructions
unofficialtwrp.com
after going to the painful procedure of unlocking bootloader flashing stock and twrp modified rom + rooting the device
i stuck at the procedure to install a gsi image via twrp.
i already know that the device must be unrooted and i have already gained some experiences in flashing the rom
even after a few softbricks, so i will try installing this image with a stock rom and twrp after i received the help i need.
i use a sd card because twrp always disappears when i transfer a file via my phone and i land on stock recovery.
this problem solves when i root my phone via magisk. as i heard flashing gsi's dont work in a heavy modified state (like with magisk),
so a sd card solved this problem to run files on recovery mode without file transfer and rooting.
the problem i have is the following: i followed some instructions saying to wipe some data first in advanced wipe
- also the system partition which is not available. after that tried to install the image directly. as it finds the rom from my sd card i have to select the partition type to flash image
i only have boot recovery and super available but i need the system partition. i looked in the internet further (the painful process) and it gave me some hints going to mount.
there it finds the system partition but when i set a checkmark on it nothing changes, so this hint didn't helped me.
what should i do now? i'm stuck in some dead end and i don't know what to do it seems like this is the only way for me to get it work.
please help.

i think i found something. since my phone is rooted i also tried to delete system apps which also don't work. i tried many system app removers but it always give error. i think the problem lies in permissions that are not given to this phone. how can i get full access to \ system to gain full permission rights? i also have busybox installed btw

You've to mount the /system partition as RW in order to access this storage location.
Example code:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "su -c 'mount -t auto -o rw,remount /system'"

[Q] Is there a way to install temporary recovery on SGR

Hi I am a new member on this forum, though I had been browsing this forum for long long time, I had not registered. Recently I had the courage to root and install omnirom on my phone (as my phone is getting old, i was ready to take the chances of bricking my device. I verified my device with eMMC brick bug tester and my device is frees from that bug, probably as my motherboard was changed under warranty). After toying with omnirom, I am back on stock rom. I went to Samsung Service Center and got my factory firmware installed for Rs 225/- (I had taken nandroid backup with epsilon 6.0... version of CWM, but it missed preload partition and restored the backup with philz recovery and my preload partition was erasaed and have to go for SSC).
I have few queries regarding the SGR, please help me with them:
1. Is there a temporary recovery for SGR (ie, can be flashed with stock recovery and returns back to stock on reboot. The zip file has to be maintained on SD card)
For SGS2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-root-unroot-stock-ics-firmware-t1501719
2. In order to restore the partition on my own, I tried and searched net for recovery using testdisk and had taken a file image of the SGR internal flash disk. I opened it with testdisk, but testdisk was not able recognise the partitions I tried EFI GPT as suggested and Intel partiton table type and both did not work. Do you know the partition table type for this?
recovery link: http://www.df.lth.se/~jokke/androidfilerecovery/
3. I was just curious if becoming root (on adb shell) is just running su, thought I would copy su binary from superuser zip ro sdcard and run it with the path, but it just runs and nothing happens (I need this to remove few samsung apps esp, vlingo. I plan to do it from recovery -> adb shell -> su and delete apk & odex files).
This has been a great forum and helped me a lot. Thank you guys for all your effort.

[Q] Alcatel onetouch Idol 2 6037K

Is there a ROM that works for the Alcatel onetouch Idol 2 6037K? .I have the root permission but Ive tried a number of custom ROM but none is working. The device is even unsupported on ROM manager. Both TWRP and CWM couldn't work. Please assist
best regards
kitkat 4.4.2 for alcatel 6037k

Run a backup of all your data before you begin.
if you are not expert in restoring your operating system in the event of a loop or in the case of black screen at startup does not proceed.
This information is for experienced users of Android.
Hello, I installed the rom kitkat 6037y 4.4.2 and it works perfectly on dual sim and all other functions.
The files that you need are the boot, system and custpack this link
http://www.mediafire.com/download/qicl9yc7lghtwph/alcatel_idol_6037y.rar
The TWRP find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3134162&d=1422254984
To install the TWRP must have the root, once you copied the recovery in your phone must use an application that emulates Android terminal and type
su
/sdcard/recovery.img cat> / dev / recovery; sync
If you are using TWRP create you file system.ext4.win mounting the system.img and creating a compressed tar file that then rename in .win for use with TWRP
Here written as do
http://www.google.it/url?sa=t&rct=j...6duCex2GqQLGBTnVUqJMFUw&bvm=bv.96339352,d.bGQ
You must replace / change the build.prop putting that in your rom 4.2.2. "Sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop custpack.img folder" copy and paste build.prop or modify it as you do yourself.
I have also used the "Alcatel Idol 2 6037y, Android L Mod Rom by Duke" and dual sim work and all other functions.
Unfortunately I am not able to turn the kitkat 4.4.2 with the look of Android lollipop

Can you share some further experiences with this? Perhaps some thoughts after 3 months, and what are you currently using on this phone?
I currently have the 6037k on the stock 4.2.2 (not rooted). I am very interested in your experiences, and battery life.
As of now I barely can make a whole work day, where most battery is spent on Phone, and not screen (with 2+ hours SOT, even!), and I hoped that upgrading the version would alleviate the problems.
Any information would be helpful, thanks

[HOWTO][TWRP][ROOT] ZTE quest N817 with locked bootloader

First off doing this will void your warranty and can brick your device. Following these simple steps should work for you. I will state here and further down, make sure you download all programs needed and both recovery.img and recovery_orig.img. I am in no way resposible for your device being bricked.
**Only thing I have not tested is the external sd card, I make no promises that it works. I only have 1 sd micro card its installed in my main device. So install the recoveries and supersu to your internal sdcard.
This is for assurance wireless, I have seen one or two other n817 devices if the specs are the same, they "should" work with this twrp, but use partition backup and restore by wanam on Play store to get a recovery.img for your device. I do not use this program for system back up, for some reason it does not work properly but its fine for boot,aboot, recovery and other smaller partitions.
This is a ported twrp from kis3 twrp version 3.0.2-0 by KonstaT from here http://konstakang.com/devices/kis3/TWRP/. Also this version of chainfire su SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742 download from here https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/. This twrp recovery has Supersu folder but I still installed the zip from recovery to be sure.
The twrp n817 recovery named: recovery.img along with the original n817 recovery named: recovery_orig.img go here https://github.com/jag9906/n817_twrp
Other programs needed [ROOT]Rashr flash tool, online nandroid backup *root*, SD maid from Play Store. The Rashr flash tool is required, you can use any back up you wish, I prefer SD maid for cleaning up system and removing/freezing programs you can use any you use, this is to remove your temp root after recovery and supersu is installed.
**Again I am stating here the Rashr flash tool is required this will allow you to install the recovery.img with a locked bootloader. This is a must to install this twrp recovery. The twrp app will not work until you have supersu installed. There are other flash tools, but this worked flawless with kingo so its the only one I will support for this guide. If you use another flash tool its on you.
First make a back up prior to installing the twrp recovery. Use the online nandoird back up of all partitions I save them as twrp. If you have external SD card you can do all at once if not do all but data and system then copy to your computer and then back up system folder. Your choice on data, I back up my apk so never data.
Next run Rashr flash tool from Play store the first option is recovery from storage, choose this option then go to your location on sdcard and select recovery.img hit ok it will take about 10 to 15 seconds and ask if you want to reboot into recovery, hit yes and then your device will reboot into recovery. Once loaded swipe and go to install, top left find your SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip file and select that, then swipe to install. Once finished hit reboot and system.
Then run SD Maid or any root tool to uninstall you have. You can now delete/remove Kingo or any root you used prior to installing the recovery and have supersu by chainfire as your root for the device.
You now have a twrp recovery, and chainfire's supersu installed on your n817 device.
thanks to KonstaT and Chainfire for the hard work they have done.
Wow, thanks.
I was able to port KonstaT's CWM for the kis3 to this device and it works almost flawlessly, but when I tried to do the same with TWRP I just got a white screen and had to pull the battery. This boots fine, so I'm interested in taking it apart and seeing what you changed.
External SD card doesn't work on my phone. Since I plan on taking it apart anyway I'll look at the fstab files, if I figure it out I'll be sure to share my changes.
Yeah like I said in post I have no external sdcard so I could not test. With putting in external a few ttimes I was looping. I think I did 6 builds and on my device which is not used. I was able to create boot, system and data backups and flash again amd install supersu from chainfire. I have built a number of kernels but wont boot. I am just going to get working kernel and nethunter it or maybe kexec hardboot for a linux. Also I rhink I used the original recovery kernel, might have gone stock.
Did you do recovery or cm 11. I tried about 5 builds of cm11 furthest i got to was loading applications screen and locking. Did you flash this twrp. With rashr app. Not sure how it will handle it being locked boot. Each of the port guides useless being locked. Days off this week might look into delving into it more. But after 5 months of headaches with exynos kernel and rom might need a break. Tired of these corps releasing broken code to stall people. 3 or 4 from scratch begings with samdung kernel between 2,000 and 6,,000 files edited on each attempt and still borked, with even.trying to back port newer versions of drivers. I have one solid kernel running but just above stock because I removed there fuelgague and charger driver with a Script for deepsleep, might be my best yet before I get a new phone in a few months. Samsung and zte plus any mediatek I'm over them now and swearing off.
I notice the line for the sdcard is commented out in twrp.fstab, I'll try uncommenting that and see what happens, but I remember to get the sdcard working correctly under CWM I had to use vold. The line for CWM was:
/devices/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard0:auto,noemulatedsd
This seems to work with or without an sd-ext partition (mounting sd-ext normally as /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 works, no need to use vold for that).

I did KonstaT's CWM recovery from the kis3. I think the only things I had to change were the kernel (from stock recovery), fstab (based on stock recovery, with some trial and error) and default.prop
Haven't tried flashing CM11 to this phone yet, I have tried building the device/vendor trees to build CM11 from source, but ZTE's kernel source for this device doesn't compile and KnostaT's ZTE msm8610 kernel source doesn't boot, so that's as far as I've managed to get.
I flashed this TWRP with the rashr app, but when I flashed CWM I had no problem using (from a root adb shell) "dd if=/path/to/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery"
I did need to (once) reboot the device with "adb reboot disemmcwp" when I initially got root before I could mount system rw and install SuperSU.
Yeah that was the issue when.I did stuff with my main phone, I only have one sdcard in main phone so I didn't get around to testung vold. That sould fix the issue. I learned that lesson a few weeks ago with my samsung phone. If it works mind posting that fike so.I can.update this twrp.so people cam atleast have a touch backup with supersu not those roots that auto install garbage apks and have ads.
I found another cm11 I will check later afyer work tomorrow and post link since kis3 is gms this one was cmda for porting rom.
ok can try porting the cm11 unofficial condor, or carbon KK unofficial condor both I think I found through xda, there is an AOPK condor MM nightly if you want to try to up to that or the lineage OS condor 14.1 with a new kernel. can google this cm-11-20140808-UNOFFICIAL-condor to get the link from xda or search here.
I got my sdcard (with sd-ext partition) working with this twrp.fstab:
Code:
# mount point fstype device [device2, parameters]
/boot emmc /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot flags=backup=1;
/recovery emmc /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery flags=backup=1;
/system ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system flags=backup=1;
/cache ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache flags=backup=1;
/data ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata flags=backup=1; length=-16384
/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /dev/block/mmcblk1 flags=display="MicroSD";storage;wipeingui;removable
/sd-ext auto /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 flags=wipeingui;removable;backup=1
I'm sure that's not quite right, there are probably some flags I'm missing and definitely some other partitions you'd want to back up. I also have TWRP 3.1.0-0 compiling for this device from source (against LineageOS cm-11.0 tree with precompiled kernel from stock recovery) and booting with internal "emulated" SD and external SD both working, but I need to tweak my BoardConfig.mk a bit more to solve a couple minor issues. If I can get that 100% working I might try to "make bacon" and see what happens, I'm pretty sure the rest of my device tree is right and I've pulled all of the vendor files from the device. I didn't remember to take a backup of my stock ROM when I rooted, but I do have a full backup of my device in its current state.
Sorry to double-post, just an update. Between what I already had, your work here and a conversation with KonstaT about kernels, I have the ZTE N817 kernel and TWRP 3.0.2-0 compiling against LineageOS cm-11.0, newer versions of TWRP may build and run fine against KitKat but the OTA tools need a newer version of Android to build.

make -j4 recoveryimage
adb push out/target/product/n817/recovery.img /storage/sdcard1/recovery-twrp-new.img
(replace /storage/sdcard1 with /storage/sdcard0 if you have no external SD)
I haven't tried to build the ROM yet, but TWRP works flawlessly, external SD and internal "emulated" (/data/media) SD are both recognized.
Have fun.

Unfortunately Kingo can't root my device and neither can anything else...... Sucks but hey the phone was free. Hopefully something can work in the future *shrugs*
Edit: rebooted "adb reboot disemmcwp" and Kingo worked ._.
Yeah, this phone was pretty difficult before King/Kingo supported it, and with no fastboot I don't think there's any way other than a ZTE signed update to alter the /system partition without rebooting with "adb reboot disemmcwp" first. Before I discovered a post mentioning using that command to disable the write-protection on another ZTE device I was able to get a root prompt with the right SELinux context but I still couldn't write anything to /system. Once I got the write-protection disabled, I didn't even bother with any of the one-click rooting apps. I just got a root shell, mounted /system rw and proceeded to put all of the SuperSU files where they go and set their permissions by hand, rebooted and I was good to go. Of course, once I got a recovery installed I did re-flash SuperSU from an update zip just to make sure it was right.
does anyone have a stock backup, i don't kn0w what i did, but now the standard android recovery tells me there are missing files when i do md5 check and it boot loops right back to recovery, anyone have and recommendations for repair, i can get to stock recovery, i can adb side load updates or choose from cache or sd card, when i pop out the battery and plug in its recognized as:
ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM
right before boot loop to recovery:
Product: ZTE HSUSB Device Manufacturer: ZTE Incorporated (dmesg)
while in recovery in adb sideload mode
Product: N817 Manufacturer: ZTE (dmesg)
18d1:d001 Google Inc. Nexus 4 (fastboot)(lsusb)
whitout battery black screen:
QSHSUSB_BULK qualcom CDMA technologies MSM
i dont know if im in ftm mode, screen just stays black and shows up as above? when in recovery

I also wouldn't mind having a stock backup, unfortunately I didn't remember to take a backup before I started tinkering with my system partition, but thankfully I haven't managed to break anything I couldn't fix.

While in this mode, are you able to actually use fastboot? I ask for two reasons. First, if you're on a stock recovery, the only way you're going to be able to restore a stock ROM (or install any other ROM) from recovery is if it's signed by ZTE, otherwise you'll need another way (like fastboot). Second, as far as I can tell, there is no fastboot on my phone.

It works, but my system is very unstable right now. I have a feeling it's that KingCrap . It doesn't like to be replaced with another SU. That stuff is malware and I never use it unless I"m desperate. I'm going to try to push 3c toolbox to it. It won't stay up long enough to install it from playstore.

I did a full backup of my zte n817. it's in .img format. pm me and I'll send it to my google drive and give you the link. Do you know what partition goes where? I also have that info too !! After 3 bricked phones I have learned somewhat of a lesson
I can't do anything with it now. It won't stay up long enough. I have a nandroid backup but it's on the external sd which this TWRP can't see. There isn't enough space on the internal to copy it to. I'm giving up for now, I"ve spent way too much time on a $20 phone

Guide: How to decrypt data in TWRP for Le Pro 3 AI

As you all know we have been searching for ways to root the Le Pro 3AI but failed. There are even 2 twrp but you can't really do much with them. TWRP 3.1 did not even start for me but 3.0.3 worked but what's the real problem? You can't mount /data and also i found another partition named /custom. It always fails to mount and there is no way to format it.
When you enter TWRP it ask for a password to decrypt. Simply click cancel and go to wipe, advanced wipe and check the data partition. Select repair file system and change it to ext2 and then back to ext4. Reboot to twrp again I don't think this is necessary but better take precautions. Now go to mount and select data you will see that you can actually mount it(~24000mb) .
You can also enable MTP to copy files to your phone in recovery such as .zips. I hope this helps you in way. I hope the devs find a way to make it possible to flash custom ROMs for this phone without any message appearing during boot and that there is no problem with imei. Thanks for reading and don't give up with this phone else it will be money down the drain. If I helped press the thanks button.
how did you install the TWRP?
im a noob in this
okay! so after attempting to install TWRP my phone bricked haha
i had to flash again the rom. geez!
i better not attempt again.
twrp isn't really a problem. it works for the most part, just cant be perma flashed, only booted. you can still flash zips via sideload as it is though, so that was never a *huge issue*. thing is, modifying system partition on official builds (25, 28) will cause security lockup. kernel needs to be patched, and prolly bootloader for this to be bypassed, and it seems its not easy. consequently root will fail too. on 27 though, you can easily boot twrp and flash a custom zip (except root), so there is nothing preventing you from removing bloat. even xposed works. you can even flash 27 kernel on both 25/28 and clean them too using same flashable zips. as far as custom rom goes, yeah, no, mtk device. prolly not gonna happen. be happy if you get root eventually.

I could flash only 3.0.3 . 3.1 never worked for me. Can't even boot.
i never said it could be flashed. it could be booted into. there are plenty of guides around how to boot recovery using fastboot (google fastboot boot recovery.img). once there, you can simply use adb sideload, or integrated file manager to clean system apps and reboot back into os. if you are using 25/28 u'll need to play a bit more to get everything up and running (imei issues), on 27S (multilanguage rom) this is pretty straightforward and no fixing is required

I am not responsible for any wrongdoing by you. Always have ROM stock files. Any error, install stock recovery again.
First you need to unlock the bootloader if necessary! Unzip file attached and look 2 files.
Then, the installation plan:
0) Flash the TWRP with SPFT or fastboot;
1) Enter TWRP IMMEDIATELY without starting in the system, otherwise TWRP can revert to the stock;
2) When asked to enter the password, select Cancel;
3) Load the file with Magisk (look for any magisk19.zip for TWRP and the decryption file for EXTERNAL memory;
4) Flash Magisk immediately and then install the file data_decrypt_Mobiistar_C1_Shine.zip immediately;
5) Make FORMAT DATA - bottom left button - Type: YES. Go back to the TWRP menu;
6) Make Wipe: data, cache, dalvik (reset to factory settings! Save your data!);
7) Reboot to TWRP (password must not ask);
8) Restart on the system, root is received.
thanks bro for making recovery.img when installing magisk 19.zip its giving error on last step failed to mount /vendor/persist (invalid argument). done
after that i tried to install your data decrypt .zip after one reboot to recovery because i have tried before without reboot recovery once so this time rebooted and installed your data.zip file and again on the last step same error as magisk failed to mount /vendor/persist (invalid argument). done
after that i tried to format by typing yes but again same error failed to mount /vendor/persist (invalid argument).done
just to inform you i have formatted phone from inside by turning it on factory reset but nothing happened....and internal space is not mounting i some how managed to install these things via OTG USB but same error again and again. i am attaching screenshot also which i captured from other phone of mine.
kindly help asap

This is Ok. I made TWRP fast and not remember if the stock partitions has \vendor\persist. So if has that's message is normal. Therefore messages about \vendor\nvdata;nvram;nvcfg is normal too. Very pacth zip files can delete that and the device cannot have IMEI.
First: Is good know the file TWRP worked;
- - You can't install any zip without FORMAT DATA first because FORMAT DATA process can view internal storage. If you don't FORMAT DATA maybe the zip file going wrong with MicroSD & OTG.
In this moment you understand: not use external storage! Put zip in the internal storage an try again.
About MTP: Has anything wrong wiht A8.1 & TWRP. Most devices with A8.1 and TWRP do not have access to MTP. I don't know what happens because I don't know why TeamWin was unable to resolve this.
Now you need put zip with adb command (search how to do) or use sileload on the TWRP.
PS: the picture attached by you show about decrypt. In the first moment you need acept modifications and password you press CANCEL.

Look correct app to know about your device: Treble Info
You need try install AOSP 8 & 9: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases
Look "bugs"; try solving; keep your time with experiments.....
After you can try LOS, RRMix, Havoc, etc.....

The first start need choose the CANCEL. I think you not know about TWRP (unofficial) and the process with device/TWRP without encryption/decryption process.
If you want that so send me some device to develop/have the possibility of getting that option.

As you read, I not have your device in my hands!
Many 32bits and few 64bits devices have problem with touch screen from kernel. That's not my error! It's from device company.
I not know about touch screen work or not since copvaibhav not write about. But I won't fix this. There is also the possibility to use OTG and plug in a USB Mouse to use in TWRP.
There are solutions to fix the touch screen but I don't have the device and I don't have time to do it. Search and you will know. So solve it yourself and thank your self for it.
Ask copvaibhav for more process and using TWRP.
