[GUIDE][RMX3381] Unlock Bootloader, Root Realme 8s 5G [UNOFFICIAL] - Android General

Hi Guys!
Since there is no deeptest.apk available for our device to unlock bootloader, we came up with another method to unlock bootloader unofficially!
Deeptest apk is now available link is in comments section
In this guide I'll tell you how to unlock bootloader, root with magisk on your Realme 8s 5G (RMX3381)
Code:
/*
* This Guide is tested and working
* However I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about unlocking and flashing TWRP
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications.
*/
1. UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER:
Requirements
PC or Laptop
Internet connection
Realme 8s
USB cable
Working Brain
Take a backup of your data since it'll be wiped
Go to About phone > Version and tap build number 7 times
Go to Settings > advanced settings > Developer options and turn on OEM unlocking and USB debugging
STEPS
Install Python from windows store
Install USBDk
Download this and extract : https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Now open command prompt or powershell in that folder
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now type pip3 install -r requirements.txt and hit enter
Now type python mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc hit enter - This command wipes data
Then power off your phone and hold both volume buttons and connect usb cable (DON'T LEAVE THE BUTTONS, KEEP THEM HOLDING THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS) - This boots device into BROM mode
Now type python mtk da seccfg unlock This will unlock the bootloader (If you face waiting for device issue then unplug the device and plug in the device again with holding volume buttons, also don't leave the buttons)
After this unplug your phone and turn it on (It'll show your device dm verity corrupted and first boot might take 20-25 mins, don't panic)
Now your bootloader is unlocked
Due to realme's limitations you still can't access fastboot after unlocking via this method
2. ROOTING YOUR DEVICE:
Install This Magisk apk
Download patched boot image and copy to the mtkclient-main folder in pc
Now in pc type python mtk w boot,vbmeta boot.patched,vbmeta.img.empty hit enter
Then power off your phone and connect usb while holding both volume buttons (and don't leave them)
Now disconnect and reboot phone
Now open magisk

If you face any issues contact me here

If anyone wanna test TWRP you can reply me here!

Deeptest Apk is now available
You don't need the above steps to unlock bootloader now:
- Enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging from developer options
- Then install this apk : DeepTest
- Submit application
- After submission, Click on 'start Indepth test' to boot into Fastboot or Bootloader
- Now connect your realme 8s to Platform tools or Bugjaeger to execute these fastboot commands
fastboot flashing unlock
- Press vol buttons as per shown in phone fastboot mode
- After confirming unlock, type fastboot reboot & Done!!
NOTE : This apk seems to work only with devices with RUI 2.0 based on COS 11 like realme 8 and 8s, it won't work on device based on COS 11.3 like realme 8i

Is there any custom rom available for this device?

At this moment , No. However I have twrp, need a tester for that.

Please explain this Sir, Do i need to install these tools in PC or adb is enough after booting into fastboot.

Well the whole point of making this guide is… you cannot access fastboot in this device unless you have registered for unlock in deeptest apk.. which wasn’t available at the time of making this guide …and for unlocking u needed to follow this whole procedure and its mandatory to have a pc for it to work

I just didn't understand that connect your realme 8s to Platform tools or Bugjaeger..
Could "fastboot flashing unlock" command can executed in adb? If no... Please give link to that platform tools or Bugjaeger

Step 1 : Unlocking your bootloader #root needed
You need unlock bootloader first before installing twrp.
You will also need adb and fastboot tools. You can download them in a portable small form factor here :
On XDA Portal and select which OS running on your PC/Laptop.
Also you can use Terminal Emulator to unlock bootloader by passing step adb start-server and adb shell command.
Enable usb debugging on developer option, and extract adb and fastboot to a folder on your PC.
Type adb start-server and make sure to check the notification on your phone to accept debugging authorization.
Now type the following magical code will unlock your bootloader :
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne "\x01" | dd obs=1 count=1 seek=474048 of=/dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/aboot
Once it's done go to fastboot mode with reboot bootloader command. Use below command to check your bootloader status :
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
You will get the following output :
Code:
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.004s]
"Device unlocked: true" means bootloader is unlocked
Step 2 : Flashing TWRP
There are several ways to install this twrp with fastboot or terminal emulator that you can use.
Fastboot : just boot to fastboot mode and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Terminal emulator : put recovery file on internal sdcard open terminal emulator and change to superuser access "su" then type
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery
Once it's done you can reboot to recovery with reboot recovery on terminal emulator.
You should be inside TWRP now. It will ask you if you want to enable system modifications. You should swipe yes, otherwise your OS will replace TWRP on next boot.
Flash the latest zip from here to turn off forced encryption at boot and allow you to boot a modified system. If you're flashing SuperSU.zip, it will also do this for you so this won't be necessary.
Warning: If you don't flash either no-verity-opt-encrypt or SuperSU, you will probably end up in a horrifying never-ending boot loop of "corruption"!
Latest SuperSU : here
To disable encryption after flashing SuperSU or the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip, you must use the [Format Data] button on the Wipe page in TWRP. No other options will work.
Back up all your internal storage and apps data that you can to your PC. You can use Titanium Backup with SuperSU before doing this step if you like.
Warning: Using [Format Data] will wipe all your apps and data (including internal storage) off the phone, giving you the out-of-the-box experience of a new phone!
Once this is done, you should be able to backup/restore/use any function of TWRP without any issues.
Flashed SuperSU? You're done! Boot up (it will reboot a few times) and set up your SuperSU Manager to your liking and give this post a thanks!
Step 3 : Have fun!
Step 1 : Relocking bootloader
You can use Terminal Emulator to relock bootloader by passing step adb shell command.
Just type the following command to relock the bootloader :
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/abootbak of=/dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/aboot
Once it's done go to fastboot mode with reboot bootloader command. Use below command to check your bootloader status :
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
You will get the following output :
Code:
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.004s]
"Device unlocked: false" means bootloader is locked again
Step 2 : That's all

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices. It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and back up the current system which are functions often unsupported by stock recovery images. It is, therefore, often installed when flashing, installing, or rooting Android devices, although it isn't dependent on a device being rooted prior to installation.
In my view you have already enabled Developer Options and unlocked bootloader. Also you have ADB drivers installed.
Note: This is not a port and the recovery is built from Omni Source. So you will not faces any issues (atmost). Everything you do to your smartphone is your responsibility and we (and I) are here to help you. Follow instructions properly to customize your device.
Important:
This recovery is based on November 2018 update. We have 3 updates (December 2019, July 2020 and October 2020) so TWRP will be overwritten. To fix this.
1. Either we have to update twrp OR
2. Root first then flash TWRP (this worked for me with December update but I highly doubt if it works with October 2020 update) OR
3. Someone share stock recovery of latest October update so I can update source and TWRP. You can PM me for instructions on this.
OEM Unlock
1. First enable OEM Unlock available in the developer settings.
2. Install ADB drivers and use this command to enter into fastboot mode.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or
use Power + Volume Up buttons after shutdown/power off. Then choose fastboot mode with volume key as navigation.​
3. Use the below command to unlock OEM.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Follow onscreen instructions.
4. For flashing TWRP go on reading.
Download:
1. AndroidFileHost
2. Github
Instructions:
1. Download the TWRP. Open Command Prompt (CMD) or Terminal and connect your mobile to PC using USB cable.
2. Enable USB Debugging, then type the below command and hit enter.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
3. Use the below command if your device is recognized in the fastboot mode by issuing below command:
Code:
fastboot devices
If your device is not recognized then disconnect and reconnect the cable properly.
4. Now flash the img file you have downloaded from the link above and it is named as TWRP_recovery.img, use below command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_recovery.img
5. It takes few seconds to flash and after that you can enter Recovery mode by using below command.
Code:
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
6. It takes 5 - 10 sec at TWRP main screen and you need not worry about that.
7. TWRP will ask for Decryption password. Tap on cancel.
8. You have to Format Data if you want to access Internal Storage.
9. You have to flash Magisk if boot.img is not patched (I can extend this thread on this on user request).
10. To take back-ups you first need to Format, otherwise TWRP won't work to its potential.
Happy TWRPing.
Update: Android 10 GSIs are working. (Need update on Android 11)
Working:
1. OTG will recognize.
2. You can push or pull files between smartphone and PC.
Issues:
1. MTP wont work.
2. Decryption does not work. So take backups into Micro Sdcard.
3. You can post them here.
Need:
1. I need one or two testers to check whether this recovery is working (for me it is working) to its full extent and can flash GSIs. Working.
2. I have unlocked this device long ago so I forgot the command used earlier. Anyone of you can share that command to help others and also I will extent this thread from unlocking to flashing GSIs. (I know 3 commands but don't know which one I used)

You can try GSIs. They are working fine. Actually this phone is not mine and kernel source is not available too.
Tip:
Android 10 GSIs are booting up (if you flash) but they are unstable.
Android 9 GSIs are fine. You can use either AOSP or Descendant. They are working good.

Check if you have enabled USB debugging from Developer Options, also you have to select USB File Transfer (not charging) when it prompts for USB Configuration.
If that does not work then reinstall ADB and Fastboot drivers.
Atlast try changing the USB cable.

Or
Download those drivers from a well known source.
You didn't even mention why those drivers are for?

Try another PC.
Or
check if you are in recovery or fastboot mode.
If adb commands are working then fastboot mode commands will also work.
Or
Download ADB drivers from official source (Google Developers site).

First enable the option OEM Unlock from Developer settings.
Then enter into fastboot mode. You can use either
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or power off and press Power Button + Volume Down. Now you will be in fastboot mode.
Use oem unlock command (I forgot this so cannot share) and you are done.
You can get GSIs from here.
Note: ADB tools must be installed in your PC (PC is must). If you unlock your phone then it will erase all the data so do take a backup before proceeding.

[GUIDE] Unlock Bootloader, install TWRP & install custom rom (Mokee) for Meizu Note9

[GUIDE] Unlock Bootloader, install TWRP & install custom rom (Mokee) for Meizu Note9
Your warranty will be void.
I am not responsible for any damage on your device.
In this guide I want to show you step-by-step how to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP and a custom rom (in this case Mokee) on your Meizu Note9.
I tried it with global version but it should walk with chinese version too.
This guide is based on the YouTube video from 老婆没米了 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPESF2A9_ek&t=369s) and the github from sukana (https://github.com/sukanka/MEIZU16S_unlock_tutorial/wiki/Guide-to-Unlock-Your-MEIZU-Device)
Some background:
Normally to unlock the bootloader you have to enter developer options and activate USB Debugging and OEM unlock (since Android 5.0). Meizu hides the second option from their settings. To activate it we have to change this value inside the firmware. The frp section contains this value so we need to change it in there. To do this we use the Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL). QFIL is an application that helps to flash stock firmware. We will use it to flash our modified rom with OEM unlock activated. Note that you have to deactivate wifi and unplug ethernet cable while use QFIL to prevent issues with the Qualcomm driver.
After we unlocked our bootloader we can install custom recovery like TWRP. With this tool we can easily install custom software to our phone like custom roms or root the device. We install the recovery by booting our phone to bootloader and flash the TWRP image. This will be done by the adb and fastboot platform tools.
Prerequirements:
Required Hardware:
Meizu Note9

Magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/
Prepare your PC/Notebook:
0. Download and install the required software
Unlock Bootloader:
Enable Developer options
Go to "Settings" -> "About Phone"
Tab on Build number several times until it says that you are developer
Enable USB-Debugging in Developer options
Go to "Settings" -> "Accessibility" -> "Developer options"
Switch on USB debugging
If you see something like "OEM unlock" in Developer options enable it and go to step 18 of this guide otherwise continue with step 4.
Power off your phone
On your PC/Notebook turn off wifi and unplug the ethernet cable to prevent problems with the qualcomm driver
Start QFIL (installed with QPST)
Press the Volume up and Volume down buttons on phone (NOT the power button) and connect it with your PC/Notebook, hold the buttons until QFIL shows something like "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)" on the top of the app
In QFIL go to "Configuration" -> "FireHorse Configuration" and set the configuration like shown in this image and click "OK":
{

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now choose on "Flat Build" and set the "Programmer Path" to "prog_firehose_ddr.elf" of your downloaded firmware
Click on "Load XML ..." and choose the "rawprogram_unsparse.xml" of your downloaded firmware and select patch0.xml in the next window
Go to "Tools" -> "Partition Manager" and agree by clicking "OK"
In the next window search for the label "frp" and rightclick on it
Choose "Manage Partition Data" and click on "Read Data..."
Now open your windows filemanager and go to "%appdata%\Qualcomm\QFIL" and open the folder with the name samething like "COMPORT_3"
Copy the .bin-file and rename it to "frp.bin"
Open "frp.bin" with a HeX-Editor and change the last position of "0007FFF0" from 00 to 01 like this:
Alternatively you can upload "frp.bin" to https://frp.xingrz.me/, follow the instructions on the website and download the resulting "frp-unlocked.bin"
Go back to the open QFIL window and click "Load Image ..." and choose the above edited file
Close the open QFIL windows
Restart your phone into bootloader by pressing Volume down and power button (this may take some seconds)
Start the windows command line tool (cmd) and navigate to your adb and fastboot directory
Enter the following:
Code:
fastboot devices
if you see some output of numbers and characters you can go on, otherwise there is something wrong with the installed device driver.
Enter the following:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
On your phone choose "UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER" by navigation with Valume down and enter with power button
Now your bootloader is unlocked and you can install a custom recovery, install custom rom or something else.
Install TWRP:
Boot your phone in fastboot mode by pressing Volume down and Power button
On WIndows start "cmd" in adb folder
Enter the following:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery $PATH_TO_TWRP
there $PATH_TO_TWRP is the path to the TWRP image file
On the phone choose "Recovery mode" by navigation with the Volume buttons and enter with Power button
The phone reboots automatic three times and you will see TWRP (chinese and english language support)
Now you have installed TWRP custom recovery on your Meizu Note9. Install custom rom and other things are quite easy until now.
Install Custom Rom (Mokee):
Boot into recovery mode and wipe all data
Download the .zip-file for the custom rom (on PC/Notebook)
Optionally: Download OpenGApps, Magisk and other custom apps
Copy all files on the phone via USB connection
In TWRP go to "install" and choose the custom rom .zip-file (for Mokee: first the RADIO...zip and then MK...zip) and confirm installation
Redo this step for every .zip-file with additional apps (like OpenGApps or Magisk)
Restart your phone
Congratulation! You have successfully installed a custom rom on your Meizu Note9.
Thanks for the entry.
Call recording available?
nice I have an error now:
"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot. Visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH"
Please help me. My Meizu Note 9 is in an infinite loop, but I can put it in Fastboot and Recovery. Is it possible to do this process that you reported here and be successful, since I can't activate USB debugging or check the bootloader option, since I don't have access to the screen? I will be very grateful if you can help me.
Your Device Is Corrupt. It Can't Be Trusted And Will Not Boot...Please Help​Hi,
I Wanted to Install A Custom ROM Into My Meizu note9 So I Flashed It Via TWRP Recovery
Message: "Your Device Is Corrupt. It Can't Be Trusted And Will Not Boot".
Then I Got Very Scared And Unlocked The Bootloader Again + Wiped Everything (Including System)
Now I only have the bootloader and nothing else. I start recovery and I get this message again.
+If I block the bootloader, I just start a cyclic boot
Please, help me...

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
This is a customised version of TWRP specifically for the Blackview BV9100!​
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now voided.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, a meteorite crashing into your house,
* dead SD cards or thermonuclear war, YOU are choosing to make these modifications,
* and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I'll just ignore you.
*
*/
What works?
* Basic functions (Boot, Touch, ADB, Mount (internal/external), etc)
* Data decryption
What's broken?
* You tell me.
IMPORTANT - Disable dm-verity with the following fastboot command, or the recovery won't boot!
Make sure you use the vbmeta.img from stock rom!
Code:
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img

I didn't "obtain" the recovery, I made my own device trees for it, and built it from source.
As for the sdcard/usb mounting issue, I'll look into it.
@bengris32
Thanks for share
I noticed you are using BV9100_EEA_M860A_V1.0_20200430V19 in source files Where can i get BV9100 latest FW for non-EEA(non EU vs). Im on NON-EU version *NON-EEA* - notEU_BV9100_M860A_V1.0_20190910V2. Cant get my hands on their latest OTA updated FW. Maybe that's my problem? Does it even matter if its EEA on non EEA i mean they both run on same mk6765 platform.
There are 2 files i could find from official source, EU and non-EU versions, can be found here https://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?t=532355 (version 20190910V2) kinda old but there is also the latest FW that goes OTA after u check for FW updates on bv9100. Blackview did not provide more recent updated one. Been working at it since Wednesday spending pretty much whole days figuring this out and back at it again atm
Not seeming to get this to work, but I'm not sure I know what I'm doing.
I took careful notes about what I did, anything look wrong wih the process?

What model of phone and FW are u running. I know u posted " BV9100NEEA000" but do u have the right FW on it that came witht he phone? There are 2 versions of this phone also FW files on official site are not updated to latest OTA update. Official FW for eu and non eu can be found here, but its old.
https://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?t=532355 You can flash the older FW back and try again. If u have the original hardware FW on ur EU model phone then it could be possible for you
Ive made a post asking for the files, my message needs to be approved as a new registered user. You can bookmark the link below and wait for my post to appear and the files when and if they provide em.
official firmware - Page 2 - bbs.blackview.com
bbs.blackview.hk
Currently i reverted back to latest OTA stock FW till i get those new files.
I am at a standstill on the proper order to root and get twrp on this non eu model phone.
Magist guide says i need to flash to recovery partition (u need original to patch which i cant have without TWRP on the phone in the 1st place) Then there is another issue of getting TWRP onto the device before rooting which again u need the original vbmeta.img, i can do with a blank one but the problem comes to TWRP then setting an encrypted password provided by bengris32 which his twrp is for EU model of the phone. Headache
I'm on non EU FW, BV9100_M860A_v1.0_20200722V3
You can get SP Flash Tool thats needed to flash this phones FW, here https://spflashtool.com/ which has the latest version shown as V5.1924. There is also v5.2044 which i dont know how and where it came out, can be found here https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-13970.html @Hovatek seems reputable after me digging around for the past 3-4 days https://forum.xda-developers.com/m/hovatek.5636663/
Assuming you have MTK Drivers installed. if not https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-16640.html or find official site.
Open up SP Flash Tool,
Go to tab Download
Point Download Agent to where SP Flash Tool is installed to the file "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"
Load up you FWs scatter file in the 2nd box/line "Scatter-loading File.
***IMPORTANT! In the graph table below MAKE SURE U UNCHECK the preloader box. This will help getting TWRP as recovery later on.****
Klik box up top with green arrow that says "Download"
Phone is in off state.
Attach your USB cable to the phone, but NOT to the computer yet.
Hold VOLUME UP & DOWN at the same time then connect it to the PC.
On the SP Flash Tools you will see a long white bar on the bottom of the softwares window
It will turn RED then Yellow and will start flashing your phone.
You can RELEASE KEYS after you see the RED COLOR.
Once SP Flash Tools is done flashing a box will come up and say Done.
Close box, close SP Flash Tools.
Disconnect Phone from PC and Phone and u are on stock FW.
If u didnt uncheck the "preloader" box TWRP will not work on your phone

That's the same as mine: BV9100_M860A_V1.0_2020722V3, so I guess I'm waiting on BV to respond to your firmware update request.

Hi, this is because android restores the original recovery when the device boots, you must not let your device boot into android until you boot TWRP for the first time, repeat all of your steps, but when you "fastboot reboot", hold the volume up button to access the boot menu, then select recovery mode. Once your device boots into TWRP, it will automatically patch the rom to prevent the original recovery from being restored on boot up.

I confirm on my non EU bv9100 M860A
kept holding like you said then typed fastboot reboot and still held a selection menu popped up with 3 option on black background, i released the key then selected recovery, pressed the vol down to accept then quickly release it and went back to holding volume up and son of the devil it worked thanks, now i go back to messing with magisk installation.
Question though,
once booted into recovery following what u just said above, should vipe data factory be done like other (lineageOS) require or not? if it work it works just maybe thats where i had my issue with no mount for microsd and external
@neccowafer i can link you the official FW so u can flash what i have?
Latest stock rom link of BV9100 - bbs.blackview.com
bbs.blackview.hk
get the non-EEA version and flash it follow your own steps you mentioned
EDIT: Just did wipe data button bottom right on button [WIPE] then did factory wipe.
How access to internal and MTP on reboot into recovery with buttons, still can get micro sd mount
Got a reply from official blackview admin
official firmware - Page 2 - bbs.blackview.com
bbs.blackview.hk
looks like there wont be any updates to A10 and over. Gonna be trying out different CFW and see how it does, i managed to get unofficial lineage-17.1-20201215 unofficial with test keys flashed
I just got one of these phones today and I'm having a bear of a time getting into it with adb to install TWRP and hopefully flash a new ROM. I tried to follow the detailed instructions from neccowafer (thank you for those!) earlier in this thread, but adb returns the device as unauthorized when in recovery mode.
This phone seems to have two recovery modes. One is accessed by booting while holding vol-down and the other is loaded when you boot holding vol-up and choose recovery from the menu.
In either recovery mode, I run adb devices and get
List of devices attached
BV9100EEA00016800 unauthorized
While booted to Android, I run adb devices and get
List of devices attached
BV9100EEA00016800 device
I'm becoming a bit frustrated trying to figure it out on my own, and it's been a few years since I did any custom bootloader or custom ROM stuff with Android, so any help would be very much appreciated.
@JeffJK I have factory mode on my down key and recovery mode on up, you wanna do up. my model is NEEA

Oh good to know! I got the same error noted above in the up key mode, the unauthorized thing from adb. Any idea why?
did u enable dev mode then enabled usb debugging, boot loader unlocked?
when u got ur phone out of the box, skip everything and dont sim in, just skip things, make sure u dont set any pass and dont encrypt device, enable dev mode then enable debugging by tapping on ur build in settings all the way on bottom in about. make sure oem unlock is also enabled and greyed out if u done already so.

Ah, I did set the phone up. Should I wipe and start over?
EDIT: I did a factory reset and booted into Android to turn on debugging, and even without setting up anything on the phone, encryption was enabled in the security settings and adb still lists the device as unauthorized while in recovery mode.
EDIT 2: Also tried wiping /data from the recovery mode menu, which put out the below lines but still did not allow adb access even after a kill-server
Code:
Formatting /data. . .
Formatting /cache. . .
Formatting /mnt/vendor/nvdata. . .
Data wipe complete.
@JeffJK To remove encryption meaning you had twrp installed and made it work or stock os?
Boot into recovery Format data / factory reset This will remove encryption and delete all files stored in the internal storage, as well as format your cache partition (if you have one).
*DONT set any passwords for lockscreen, dont login to google, pay attention to not encrypt device when setting up. just basic skip u dont even need wifi or sim in phone
Dont forget to unlock ur bootloader before flashing or doing anything. Follow post #7 thats exactly how you would do it then read up on post #10 and #11 and it will work.
Also did you install USB drivers?
Get android usb drivers https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
if that didnt work try the one below,
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-16640.html (need to register) you want the " Auto Mediatek USB VCOM Drivers Signed"
If you messed up you just flash your legit FW back to stock and follow post #7 10 and 11

I couldn't get TWRP because adb still reads the device as unauthorized. I wiped the data while in recovery mode, booted to the"Welcome" screen, and when I skipped everything in the setup wizard, the settings still show encryption as enabled, and I had no option to enable or disable it at any point. Bootloader also still showed as unlocked. This seems like a very unusual problem! I have drivers but will try the vcom ones.
if u are able to get into adb and fastboot then u dont need the VCOM drivers.
On device use "Revoke USB debugging authorizations" in "Developer Options"
then reconnect to phone to cable then pc
@JeffJK
Would you do me a favor, my current connected device sn is 123456789ABCDEF.
I messed up with flashing some roms and wiped the nvnand partition without making a backup of official stock one( didnt know about nvnand till issues started happening), been working on fixing S/N and device connected via adb to stock, currently have tee key and google key in red as overlay, i know ways of getting rid of it but id rather have the original back.
need some structural info, you can replace last 5 number from your serial with XXXXX if u want. i have some files i managed to scrape up digging around on how tos, just clueless on how to get tee key/google key and serial back onto device with proper format.
go into your phones setting>system>advanced>About phone. Post what what you see in the following:
*SIM Status (sim slot 1) klik on in and scroll down to EID (mine says unknown) and post (hide last 4 or so numbers but include full length) i will need to know what to look for when flashing mine back to my phones original status
*Model & Hardware klik on it my says for Model: BV9100 Serial number says 0123456789ABCDEF (again hide last 4 or 5 so i have an idea of what i need to look for in my files)
*WI-Fi MAC address and Bluetooth address all i need from this is do they match or are different, also post last 2 digits/bits in wifi and bt addresses ( i need this for to figure if multicast)
I REALLY RECOMMEND you write this info down before messing with roms and flashing or ull end up like me with blank IMEI (managed to flash fix it), serial of 123456789ABCEDF(still cant fix), and a permanent tee key google key in red(still cant perma fix, have to always remove factorymode). you can watch tutorials on how to use "Mtk Droid Tool to backup your nvnand IMEI serial, make a scatter file on updated OTA latest update of stock BV9100 rom (its really well optimized after trying Lineage unofficial 17.1, HavokOS 3.12 (I have files and sources)
I do not know where the official source for MTK DROID TOOLS is (the latest version i have found is Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3B some say 2.5.3 I have both if needed source to https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-15665.html) (bitdefender total security says clean on my pc before i installed, it does run sluggish on 10850k with 128gigs ram on nvme) I do recommend u scan with your AV and upload it also to https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ and any other files you get just do be safe
Heres a little write up on how to do so as i cannot cause my phone doesnt have proper setup on stock after a mess up
"
Requirement : Your Google android device should be rooted.(Officially provided with source if u need, DONT root it via the mtk droid tools, there is an option. Go with magisk official https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v21.2 After you have TWRP installed from this thread, download the 21.2 magisk zip file and install inside twrp reboot and configure it)
Download and open MTK droid tools application.
Enable USB debugging mode on your device. Settings > Developer Option > Click USB debugging mode.
SKIP THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE ISSUES(let me know)Then connect your android smartphone to the computer. Your device will detect by MTK droid tools within few minutes. If your mobile phone is not detected, then you have to install USB drivers on your device first. Right click on the “InstallDriver.exe” and select “Run As Administrator” and then restart your computer to install USB driver.
Click IMEI/NVRAM to backup android IMEI and then click backup. Your android backup will be stored in BackupNVRAM folder.
Continue to the backup system, firmware, data and etc (Android ROM) select on Root, backup, recovery tab and backup tab. The process will finish within few minutes.

Team Win Recovery Project, or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of features. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.​
Rich (BB code):
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or
you are getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if
you have any concerns about features included in this recovery before flashing it!
YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me
for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Key Features:
Custom Firmware installation
Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Backups of partitions in TAR or raw Image format
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Restore backups from internal storage, external SD storage or OTG devices
Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)
Partition wiping
File Manager(copy, move, rename, delete etc)
Terminal access
ADB Root Shell
Onscreen keyboard
Easy selection of internal/external storage
and more...
In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. TeamWin call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript.

Here is the update.zip flashing fixed build. https://oshi.at/seHmaB
Test it and let me know.
also, in recent Android versions, disabling dm-verity needs to flash vbmeta.img like fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
So don't use that dm-verity disabler
Thanks

You can flash recovery in either fastboot or existing cuatom recovery or in rooted rom.
For vbmeta, only use fastboot mode with above command.
Also as long as vbmeta is not back to stock(i.e., when you flash stock rom) you don't need to flash again and again.
Flashing once is enough.
Thanks
