Outstanding work, thank you. I have been hassling with this tablet for a month and just today I figured out how to unlock the bootloader. This is great work sir, thanks

If I didn't enjoy wrecking tech toys, I'd quit. Twice now I had to rescue the tablet because after flashing patched boot_a and b it loops even wipe a wipe.
It just finished restoring and it relockes the bootloader in the process.
Lenovo rescue tool works great
I think I will take a day off from this uninspiring tablet

Did you flashed the vbmeta?

I will admit I got a little confused with the process and forgot to flash the meta.

Thanks again. I am unlocked and rooted finally. I used the Linux on a stick and Windows. It was very easy thanks to you and the other developers work.
I left the bootloader warning on the tablet lol

Man, you are a life saver! Spent hours looking for a write up on this tablet. I actually ended up stuck in a bootloop after flashing vbmeta and then writing fastboot reboot according to the image above. (Im sort of a noob when it comes to this stuff.) After a while of tinkering was able to fix it simply by holding the vol + and vol - and plugging in usb from PC. Got it to load into fastboot and was able to wipe. But for real much appreciate the time and effort put into this write up especially for a niche tablet like this one. + Respect

Thxx
Have you tried using the stock recovery images? They come with instructions for what to do after you unzip it.
finally fix by the rom in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...k-recovery-images-ota-library-guides-t2988881
and the guide
SHIELD TABLET RECOVERY IMAGE FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS
To follow the instructions in this guide, you will need adb and fastboot.
These tools are provided as part of the Android SDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Before flashing this recovery image to your SHIELD TABLET, connect your SHIELD TABLET
via USB to the PC where you downloaded this recovery image.
Next, put your SHIELD TABLET into fastboot mode using one of the following methods:
SW method:
- Boot to android home screen
- Connect the device to linux/windows system
- Open terminal (on linux); command prompt (on windows).
- Type "adb reboot bootloader" in terminal/command prompt
HW method:
- Turn off the device
- Press "Volume Down" -> "Power", hold "Volume Down" and leave Power buttons till device boots
To flash this recovery image to your SHIELD TABLET, run the following commands from
the directory where you extracted the recovery image package. If this is the
first time you have done this procedure, you must unlock the bootloader (see
below):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash dtb tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb
Unlocking the Bootloader
Your SHIELD TABLET may have shipped with a locked bootloader. To update the device,
you must unlock the bootloader using the following:
- fastboot oem unlock
- Press the "Volume Down" button to select "Unlock bootloader" option on device
- Press the "Power" button to confirm the unlock. Your device's bootloader is now unlocked.

As long as you can get into the boot loader you can always flash the recovery with fastboot in CMD via a PC just need to specify what recovery file you want flashed
Power off the tablet.
Hold the power and volume down buttons till it comes to the boot loader.
Press volume down till you highlight fastboot protocol & press the power button.
(You will need google USB Drivers and ADB for this part)
Then with the tablet connected to the PC via USB and open command prompt with Admin privileges cd to the folder where you extracted ADB. (I put mine in the root of the C: Drive in a folder called ADB) with the TWRP img you downloaded in the ADB folder type "Fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-shieldtablet.img" Without quotes into the Command prompt. (twrp-2.8.7.1-shieldtablet.img is what you would type given you were using that TWRP img)
this will show up.

When I put cancel, I can enter to recovery but I can't use any storage. It's 0mb
If you factory reset through twrp and reboot recovery it should be OK. But keep in mind to do a backup of your stuff first.
Hello,
TWRP is released under GPLv3+. It means that if you submit a build of TWRP, you need to distribute its source code and instructions to build it.
Where did you find this build if you "found it somewhere and wanted to share it"? You are basically violating the license by just "sharing" it.
Read the pinned post for more information (applies to GPLv2 like GPLv3).

Thanks for the information, I lost connection with terminal after booting into TWRP, and didn't know what to do next as TWRP was o MB .
And terminal showed "FInished" with no error in your second command, but twrp was still not installed after holding down power + volumn down. :/
Is there anything i did wrong? Please reply Mr.Sakura
How to check if anti rollback is enabled?
Fastboot getvar anti
It just says anti: and no number. What does this means?
Mine shows the same so I think there is no anti rollback on our 2 devices.
mine also says "anti"..no number
Please be careful while flashing recovery that are found "somewhere".
Well, after flashing latest miuipro still anti with no count
Please delete this thread! False information!
any solution it is show 0mb internal
Do a factory reset in twrp or flash disable encryption.zip

5. Enable OEM unlock, enable USB debugging (both in developer options)
6. Open the adb tool you installed recently
7. Type fastboot devices (now a device number should show up)

9. This step will wipe all your data! Type:
Code:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(xx is for your unlock code)
10. Ones it's done type:

fastboot reboot
Your phone will reboot and you have an unlocked bootloader!
11. You can now go on installing TWRP on your device
HOW-TO INSTALL
Make sure you enabled OEM unlock in settings, if you haven't please do that now by tipping 10 times on build number (to activate developer options), than open developer options and go to OEM unlock, enable it
Have an unlocked bootloader is required! (In my case, I login the unlocker website at provide necessary information and get the unlock code so try yourself !!!)
Download the TWRP recovery from the download section below
Make sure you got fastboot drivers installed (I will describe this below in how to unlock your bootloader)
Open the adb/fastboot application on your pc and go to the directory where your TWRP img file is downloaded
Boot your phone into download mode (First method: fastboot reboot-bootloader while connected to pc. Second method: power off your phone, hit power on and volume down until it boots to download mode)

How can this work? The data in that file is encrypted with a device-specific key. It will not unlock any other device but the one it came from. If that does what you say it does, I will eat my sock.

I pulled that file of my BQ when it had the unlocked BL. I pm'ed some people in a Spanish forum for test if it works, and it worked...
@Rortiz2, are you sure it actually unlocked their BL, and it wasn't just placebo? What I mean is did it show "Orange State" or did it end up in a bootable "Red State" in which the seccfg step did not make any difference? Because I've tried to decrypt the seccfg data from my own Zenpad on another unit, same model, and it failed. That confirms that the embedded keys are different. If it was all the same key, then unlocking a BL would be as simple as flashing some data with SP Flash Tool.

I've misunderstood you. You're right, it seems that this partition contains device specific codes. It casues red state.
Sorry!
OK, that makes more sense. There won't be any sock-eating yet. But either way, if you can boot it with Red (or yellow) State, it means you don't have to unlock and can still keep your data....

This is a TWRP 3.5.1_10-0 Recovery for the Helios P60 based Atom XL (Atom_XL), a rugged Android phone released by Unihertz in July 2020.
DO NOT USE IT FOR THE ATOM L!
Just head over to the thread for the Atom L to get the correct variant of this Recovery from there.
Team Win Recovery Project, or twrp 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.
Not Working
MTP
Data decryption (partially)
Sideload (maybe because of partially decryption)
You tell me
How to install
1. Unlocking
Boot your Atom XL to the official OS.
Go to `Settings > About phone`, tap `build number` several times to enable developer settings.
Go to `Settings > System > Developer Settings`, enable `OEM unlocking` and `ADB debugging`.
Connect your phone to your PC and open a terminal or a command line window.
Run `adb reboot bootloader` on your PC (there is no way to enter bootloader directly, only possible through adb).
Run `fastboot flashing unlock` and comfirm unlock on device (THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA!).
Run `fastboot reboot` to reboot your device and now you should see an unlocked warning during boot screen.
2. Disabeling AVB (Android Verified Boot)
Download 'vbmeta.img' from the latest LineageOS release (link provided further down).
Connect your phone to your PC and open a terminal or a command line window.
Run `adb reboot bootloader` on your PC to put your device in bootloader mode.
Run `fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta vbmeta.img`.
Run `fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta_system vbmeta.img`.
Run `fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta_vendor vbmeta.img`.
3. Installing TWRP recovery
Download `recovery.img` from the latest release (link provided further down).
Connect your phone to your PC and open a terminal or a command line window.
Run `adb reboot bootloader` on your PC to put your device in bootloader mode.
Run `fastboot flash recovery recovery.img`.
Run `fastboot reboot` and after the screen goes dark press volume up until you see the TWRP logo.
Now you need to install a new ROM because booting into stock ROM will replace TWRP with the stock recovery.
How to update
Download `recovery.img` from the latest release (link provided further down).
Connect your phone to your PC and open a terminal or a command line window.
Transfer using adb:
Run `adb reboot recovery` on your PC or simply hold volume up while turning power on to boot your device into the recovery.
Wait for TWRP to boot.
Run `adb push recovery.img /external_sd`.
Transfer using mtp: (currently not working in TWRP)
Transfer `recovery.img` from your PC to your devices SD card.
Run `adb reboot recovery` on your PC or simply hold volume up while turning power on to boot your device into the recovery.
Wait for TWRP to boot.
In TWRP select `Install`.
Use `Select Storage` to switch to your SD card.
Use `Install Image` to switch to image installation mode.
Select `recovery.img` from the list.
Select `Recovery` partition.
Swipe the slider on the bottom to the right to confirm.

* Install zip/img is working
* Data decryption is not working
* MTP is not working
* ADB is working (MTP needs to be disabled)
Help from other developers is certainly welcome. Currently only myself is working on this Recovery.
Credit and Thanks

Thanks for posting! Request including steps for disabling AVB as it is required on preventing bootloops on the Atom XL:
Download 'vbmeta.img' from the latest release (link provided further down).
Connect your phone to your PC and open a terminal or a command line window.
Run `adb reboot bootloader` on your PC to put your device in bootloader mode.
Run `fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta vbmeta.img`.
Run `fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta_system vbmeta.img`.
Run `fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta_vendor vbmeta.img`.

Thanks for the Info, but currently on TWRP I don't get a VBMETA file built.
I would have to use the one from LineageOS and I don't know how well this works later on other ROMs. I plan to get AVB setup without the need of "disableing" it.
So I will have to consider if I include it in the "official" installation guide. For now your hint is as good (being the first and so on).
Thread closure requested because of merge with Atom L Thread (this one is the "shorter" one)
