[DEV]TWRP RECOVERY FOR LG D315 F70
Warning : This operation involves risk. XDA community or me can not be held responsible for any problems
Hi everyone!
Well, Since this smartphone is somewhat forgotten in the Android community, I decided to work on it ! I unlocked the fastboot and ported TWRP Recovery for the LG F70 ! It works on the D315, for others I really don't know ... But since I did the porting myself it must be considered as an alpha version x ') The only problem is I had to use a theme for TWRP, because the default theme was too big for this phone :/ Well you might say, it is nice like that ! The themer is "z31s1g". Anyway. If some people want to test and give feedback, this is here
First, make sure your phone is rooted (you can do it with towelroot) and make sure you have the Android SDK installed, and the LG drivers.
Download my attachment and extract it on your computer.
Right now you have to activate fastboot, fastboot is hidden behind the download mode, so backup your download mode :
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/sdcard/laf.img.
And now set zero the download mode with this command, then reboot :
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
adb reboot
Now you have replaced the download mode by fastboot. Let's start fastboot, to do so, you have to turn off your phone, hold Vol+ button and plug in the USB cable.
On the console, do this command to check if phone is connected and detected.
Code:
fastboot devices
There should be a random sequence of numbers, and "fastboot" displayed.
So now we will proceed to flash the recovery with this command :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery c:\PathToTheRecoveryImage\recovery.img
Then reboot with this command :
Code:
fastboot reboot
Done ! This is my first tutorial in english... I'm a 17 years old french user, excuse me if my english is bad x)
************************************************************************************
UPDATE HERE, BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED AND NEW RECOVERY
************************************************************************************
Thanks in advance if someone want to test it and post a feedback, I will make a little list of what's working / not working (I already tested it, I didn't see nothing right now Enjoy !

Hello, it seems that only me and you have this phone. So, I'd like to root my phone, do you think that I could use towelroot without risk?
I think I'll try your guide too... after root
Thanks in advance
Yes, you can use Towelroot, but for the recovery, remember it's only a first test, and I don't know if the bootloader is locked... but the recovery seems to work
good. towelroot works well and I have no problem since now. do you think I could install gravity box in this phone with stock rom? how can I unroot this phone? thanks in advance
It was not able to enter the Fastboot
Hi. I thank you TWRP who porting. I have not imagined and think you made using the TWRP in the F70 model. However Execution has not been in the loading screen of the download mode it is not possible that you have used the dd if = / dev / zero of = ~~ command as described in your article, but to enter the fastboot.
How can I do? I use F370s model.
I'm sorry. I use google translations...

I think yes. I've Singapore's version of D315 and flashed a Hungarian D315 rom with no problem.
You can download some ROMs from 4pda F70 Flash thread.

I've used this tool (this tool has a tutorial on its page). After flashing you have to root again.
Duble check to be sure that you have lg d315 model and downloaded lg d315 firmware!
This is the model of my phone. It didnt say it is d315. But i read it its the same only it is the korean version. See attached image. Should i go continue flash?and what is the consequence if i use different rom for my phone?

There is no guarantee for a successful firmware flash.
What if flashing failed? Can i revert back?

If flashing failed you will have to disassemble a bootloader and to correct security checks inside.
So, It's possible but VERY hard.
Hi all ! I just worked on this phone night and day x)
I just unlocked the bootloader, and made a CWM port (I personnally prefer CWM x) ) And i'm working to make a port of Cyanogenmod 11, but i'm only 17 y-o and... Well, that's too hard for me x) I've compiled it, with bin blobs, and other stuff, all the config files, etc, but it's not working YET x) (If anyone want to help me I can share my project...) Well :
/!\ For Recovery to work, you MUST unlock the bootloader by this method, this is very simple (Thanks to Zaaap72) /!\
CWM 6.0.5.0 : CWM 6.0.5.0.img
Method to unlock bootloader (not by me) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-unlock-t2827748
The G2 Mini (D620) Has the same architecture as the F70, I mean Qualcomm msm8226, Snapdragon400, Same amount of ram, etc, BUT, not the same screen... And I'm trying to adapt the cutom kernel, and sources of D620 CM11 for my F70 x) Again, If anyone can/want help me
(Remember that the recoveries I made are in beta-test, this is my first try, and I will update them in the future, If you find any bugs, tell me, or modify the .img by yourself with AIK and upload the image for me Thanks !)
Have a nice day guys
KuroHaki, what version of device (D315/F370), device region and firmware (v10a/b/c...) bootloader did you use to unlock? Zaaap72's unlock method is very risky and unstable solution. The best solution is on 4pda, Anyway you're done!
You can try to make a recovery image with LG-L70 recovery binary and F70 kernel. It may work, I've made like that before with MTK devices.
I have a v10b D315, and I used the 4-bytes method, on aboot and abootb, it awesomely worked I played with chance on this, and it worked x) If anyone want to test it on another firmware/model of F70... And for the Image, I don't need recovery, I need a Kernel that can boot Cyanogenmod, because the LG sources make my phone bootloop on the LG first logo... I tried with Zaaap port of Quarx sources, with no success... Kernel compilation is very hard for me, I had many errors with Drivers on Quarx source, I changed the files with errors with files from LG source, and It compiled, but not worked... I don't understand why... Well, if anyone have a solution for this kernel... x)
I am the owner LG F70 phones and watches this topic for a long time but did not move anything, whether it was by the opportunity to do any ROM for this device ?
Wow! Thanks for this Recovery!!!! Was looking a while for twrp on the F70! :good:
I did flash the recovery successfully with the method in the OP. However, when I reboot to recovery (adb reboot recovery) it failed to boot TWRP - a screen showed 'secure boot error' then there were was a dump screen with lots of drives mounted to my linux pc.
This is likely because I didn't unlock the boot loader right? However, the method provided to unlock looks a bit too risky - especially since I dont have a recovery to restore if the stuff break the system. Anyway, thanks for this!
@up
I don't think so the unlock bootloader it's dangerous. I have done files aboot and abootb so i can send you.
Russian LG bootloader guru Andrew-New from 4pda has made a patched bootloader for lg d315 from v10b aboot.bin as I've requested him.

Hi everybody!
On our 4pda.ru forum we are struggling with this phone in two ways- rootin it and unlocking in order to update manually to 2.0 and even 2.2; and other way- working android (already have beta rom which is exact copy of rom from another alcatel 6014x which runs android and similar to our Fire E 6015x).
if there are any enthusiasts about android, i can translate the guide for you and share the needed files and programs. Almost everything works except sim-card(when there is no one- phone asks to insert it, when there is one- phone says its not registered) but we are working on it
i came over a https://www.soeren-hentzschel.at/mo...ch-verteilt-firefox-os-2-0-und-firefox-hello/ that states that in Germany some people already received 2.0 update on their Fire E. Here arises my question- are here people who own updated Fire E? I mean update to 2.0.
If there are ones, would you be so kind to make a copy of your rom for our little development? I can provide you with guides and software on how to do it.
I can post guides for making this an android phone.
Hi my dear russian brother - greetings from Germany.
I do have an updated 6015x device to FFOS2.0 and I could dump the rom for U. Just gimme links to the needed info. My russian is not one of my strength, but I think I can manage it - I'm a bulgarian after all.
hej, i also have a 6015X (fire e) with firefox os 2.0 running
tell me how to make a rom which i can send to you
root
After few months of waiting my phone get the forefoxos2.0 update
01008d yes it is fine but how to root it?

Look, please, do you have in System settings parameters of russian language on your FFOS 2.0.
HOWTO ROOT ALCATEL OT 6015X:
1. Download CWM recovery image made for 6014x.
https:// yadi.sk/d/BIdXndcbfR2Gm
2. Download Install-SuperSU.
download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
3. Turn your phone to bootloader mode anyway.
4. Run modrecovery:
Code:
fastboot boot my_recovery.img
5. In CWM menu follow "install zip" -> "install zip from sideload"
6. On pc:
Code:
adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
7. reboot phone
I am sure lowlevel utilities from android's SuperSU are working fine on any FFOS (because FFOS based on Android now).

I wonder how do you use it though, can you build it on its own? The B2G by Mozilla still hasn't got an option for this device.

I tried your recovery image but it doesn't seem to work. There is no error but after booting the image, the device isn't visible in fastboot or adb. For that reason, I'm unable to sideload the Su zip update.

Flashing the recovery image works though, then sideloading the SU image works from clock work mode recovery.
Ok, here's some news. I built a boot image that enables adb as root. All you need is to flash it on the boot partition and reboot the phone. I made a few changes to the boot image.
default.prop
Code:
ro.secure = 0
ro.debuggable = 1
To flash:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot3.img
and replaced /sbin/adbd by an adbd built with "ALLOW_ADBD_ROOT". (I used the sources fetched using b2g repo).
Cool thing..wish I am able

As far as i know even Firefox OS 2.2 is not officially released yet.
There are only pre Versions.
Has anybody else troubles with FFOS 2.0 on the Alcatel Fire E?
The phone sometimes hangs completely while it was sleeping. (Can´t wake up or even call the phone)
Only if i press the start button for some seconds the phone starts again.
I hope someone builds a FFOS 2.2 Rom for the Fire E --> Copy and paste :good:

Softbricked 6015x
Hey guys,
I got stuck with creating the boot.img and figured out that the backed up one doesn't work.
Does anybody have a working boot.img for the 6015x, NOT the 6014x?
I tried also getting the venezuelian one, but those TLDs are not reachable anymore - all gone.
The custom boot images from the russian 4pda forum are also not working.
I currently have only access to ADB, the TWRP recovery mod (temporarily) and fastboot, so I need a fastboot working image.
The Mobile Upgrade Q / TCL Updater / QDST distribution updater is Windows only - and crawling the binaries for URLs is a dead-end. The tool also requires
a fully booted OS, so it's pretty much the dumbest update tool out there and not practical to use. As I don't have Windows, the imgc files for the eMMC flashing tool are also a dead-end.
I really need only the boot.img file.

Yes, my device constantly reboots and fails to initialize the display (seems like an Xorg alike error to me) when trying to figure out what logcat shows.
Due to the constant reboots I can't debug it using adb, because of constantly lost connections. That's why I'm asking for an OEM boot.img file.
I started to collect the working stuff over at github.com/martensms/alcatel-6015x (cant post links -_-)

Did you try to boot with fastboot or did you flash it to the boot partition. I had no success booting with fastboot but flashing works. That said, you have to install a custom recovery image.
Also, I'm working on building FFOS from sources but as won't be home for a month, it's kind of slow.

Both. Didn't work. As I said, I have no functioning boot image available. All boot images, from everywhere including your one, don't work.
I don't know what's so hard to understand. NO custom boot.img works. Seriously. None. Simple as that. I tried 9 different boot.img out, I even tried extracting the eMMC boot.img which obviously failed.
Again, third time, I just need an OEM boot.img in order to get further debugging my device because I can't debug my device in 3 second disconnect intervals from ADB.
edit: I unbricked my device now and made backup images of all OEM partitions - github.com/martensms/alcatel-6015x

That's weird, my custom boot works on my own phone. 6015x, it's a russian phone. Firmware revision: 01005, hardware revision 01, platform version: 28. Firefox OS 1.3.0.0 .
I guess, if you had a newer version of Firefox, there could be something wrong with the boot image.
Q&A for [ROM + KERNEL] Tari's ASUS PadFone 2 (r150301)
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM + KERNEL] Tari's ASUS PadFone 2 (r150301). If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Hello Tari! I have Running your awesome ROM on my Padfone2, and i find it a very smooth and cool ROM! Thank You, for your Work in it!
I have a Question, - There is a Custom Lollipop ROM on XDA for Padfone S/X! Do you think that work on Padfone2? And the Nexus4 is almost the same hardware as Padfone2, is it possible that a Nexus4 Custom Lollipop ROM works on Padfone2?
Many, Thanks to you for your Work, Time and Engagement!

Thanks for the kind words roselanguste, I am glad you are satisfied with the ROM.
As for the Lollipop, porting it onto the Padfone2 would be lot of work. There are too many ASUS-specific details that would have to be changed, plus for the kernel to work we would need updated hardware modules and firmware. As far as I am concerned, KitKat is the last stop for our device.
can you give me step by step how to flash cwm after unlocking the phone (using ansarijavid method for unlock)?
kinda new for this stuff

does this rom fix weird colour contrast after put the phone into sleep?

Create a folder, download the needed files into it and open a terminal from there
Make sure the tools are present: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Enable USB Debugging on the phone
Boot into fastboot mode (Power, Volume up)
Install the CWM recovery: sudo fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery cwm.img
Note: The above is for Linux - no extras are needed, you just plug in your phone and go. Windows users should probably need some drivers, enable ADB, and change the "sudo + COMMAND" parts.

I have not had any contrast troubles, so I really can't tell. The kernel is the latest PF2 can handle, and the firmware is also up-to-date. There should be no issues.

i'm a completely noob about linux so my only question is : is the procedure reversible? my only fear is about this " sudo fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery cwm.img" , if i type wrong a value what's going to happen? Brick or simply a failrure in the procedure?
Thanks in advance

This command is fairly safe. It simply means: "use fastboot to write the cwm.img image to an ASUS device (0x0b05 is your PadFone)". If you feel paranoid you can search for a Stock Recovery image. You can always flash that file instead of cwm.img to get your device back to factory state. Bricking is harder than you think. The bottom line: always read the instructions carefully, make sure you have EXACTLY what is required, and go slowly step-by-step. If you are unsure, or there is an error, do not try to fix it by yourself - go to the forums and tell the people about it, someone will surely help you out.

Yes. ROMs are always packaged in a ZIP - you just send it to your CWM (sideload seems to be the fastest).
it's going automatically in recovery mode? Because i don't know how to enter in it and there're tons of procedure throughout the web.
i'm referring to this point : 3. Boot into recovery mode.
I thought that power + bottom up volume was for the recovery mode, indeed is for the fastboot mode.
Thanks for your courtesy
ULTRA LOL: i forgot to try power + volume down when i wrote this post, sorry xD

So it seems you have got it right, but just for future reference:
Power + Volume Up = fastboot/csc
Power + Volume Down = recovery
It goes for most Android devices, ASUS especially.
i'm blocked at point 9... it says "cannot read sideload".. i've tried solutions found online like rename folder, or use adb push but in this it says "acces: blocked"..
help please :crying:
news: when i tried the normal boot of the padfone it returned to original conditions, it's like new eek: . factory mode returned like new, too
Now how i can use the other procedure (without sideload) ? i have to put simply the file in the root?

I see no reason why sideload or push shouldn't work. When you enter CWM recovery you select the sideload option and then send your ROM from the PC. On Debian and derivatives (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) adb/fastboot tools are in system locations, so you need to run the commands with "sudo" to elevate your privileges.
Here are the detailed steps:
Boot into fastboot mode (Power, Volume up)
Install the CWM recovery: sudo fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery cwm.img
Boot into recovery mode (Power, Volume down)
Select "wipe data/factory reset"
Select "install zip from sideload"
Send the ROM to the phone: sudo adb sideload ROMNAME.zip
Wait until it says it's done, then select "reboot"
When CWM asks "ROM may flash stock rocovery on boot. Fix?" Choose "No"
When CWM asks "ROM access possibly lost. Fix?" Choose "No"
Alternatively, you could simply plug in your phone, copy the ROM to the root folder (/sdcard) using nautilus/nemo or any other file manager you're using, then go to CWM and select "Install zip from SD card", then browse for it.
As for your phone looking like a fresh one, it's because you still have the stock ROM and it has been reset to factory settings. This should not bother you at all.
I tried everything with ubuntu but nothing... so i put the rom in the root and flashed by sd card. Everything seems to be ok now DDD I'm trying your rom like now.
Thanks a lot

I think we need to know a little bit more about your problem to see if there is help:
- How did you get an invalid kernel?
- Is the device unlocked/do you have custom recovery on it?
Im New in the asus sector...okay I have root with towelroot and forget to unlock the bootloader!!! The not normal booting and Invalid kernel Problem is coming from twrp flash.

Unlocking the bootloader is always the first step. You can fix things, though. First, remove towelroot, and any other rooting mechanisms you may have - you do not need them, custom roms are pre-rooted.
If you are running a 4.1 or 4.2 ROM follow the points from this post
If you have KitKat, it is a bit more complicated, see this post
WARNING: If your device has been serviced (specifically the motherboard replaced), you will not be able to unlock it!
Need help...
Cant find any method to root this device ... is there anyone who suceeded? Is there any trick to root it?
Getting hopeless, please help...

I bought a bricked z380c. It can only boot fastboot mode but I can't find anything to flash. I just need a recovery.img so I can sideload stock fw. It's unlocked and became brick after rooting attempt from previous owner. Any help?

Ok, good news. There is a easy way to recover from soft bricked Z380C-CX. I had my ZenPad Z380CX, Android 5.0.2, kernel WW rooted and i start playing with it, I managed to soft-brick it after installing wrong kernel, and would get stuck to Logo. I tried the adb cmd option without luck, but here is how i recover it without loosing any app installed, any settings, etc. It's the same like before, i just lost root, but you can re-root after:
You need to download (choose the rom accordingly for your device):
1. Firmware
2. Asus Flash Tool
2. Drivers
-WW_Z_380C_v4.9.8_all_user_P022_fastboot.7z or WW_Z380C-v4.9.8_all_user.raw (i got the .raw file): https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...e-solution-t3165954/post71688236#post71688236
-Download Asus Flash too v1.0.0.34 (the newer one didn't work for me, so i used this): http://www.mediafire.com/file/bf97od5uengfgak/AsusFlashToolInstaller1.0.0.34.msi
-Download ADB and fastboot and install on your pc, (may also need usb, google or intel drivers, if your device isn't recognized by adb cmd!), can find all here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/adb-recognize-asus-zenfone-2-phone-t3151208
Now you have all you need, so check if your device is recognized by adb; Go to C:\ in your computer and look for "adb" folder. If it's not there, you didn't install it. Enter adb and hold "shift" while pressing right mouse, and click on "open command window here". Now you type in the command: adb device and enter, you should get a list with some random info / numbers. If nothing happens, reinstall adb; If you get it work, restart your device and when reboots, hold Volume Up and Power to boot in fastboot. Now, on pc, type the command: fastboot device, and if you get the numbers, your good to continue.
-Open Asus Flash Tool
-Select device from left top drop box menu
-Select "Wipe Data" to NO
-Select the image/zip firmware file from PC download folder, to flash
-Make sure your tablet is in Fastboot mode
-If no device appeared in your Flash Tool, disconnect and reconnect USB cable to PC
-At this point you should get your device number in Flash Tool window, followed by a blue large dot
-Click once on your listed device to highlight
-Press START green button above, to begin flashing.
(You can either get a message: "Failed-Cannot unzip file"- the dot turns Red, or "Unzipping Files"- the dot turns Yellow.) Try to use .7z file instead .raw, or vice versa.
-After flashing, you'll be required to reboot your device, wait and hope
-Now on Flash Tool, the dot is Green and the message: "Flash image successfully xxx-xxxxx"
-You should be have all your apps installed, all settings same, etc. If you had it rooted, now root is gone, and you should re-root.
Hope this will work well for you, as it did for me. Just remember, i am not responsible for anything you choose to do to your device, and i am not gonna take any responsibility if this doesn't work for you.
hey, I just got an Asus p022 tablet. and was looking to root but I can't understand the directions. can I get some help or some noob instructions?
TWRP for sc7731c hope it helps
hi all a have a sc7731c phone on android 6.0 and i was able to install twrp on my device
it all started when i found a stock rom on the web (Google your device for stock - rom or - firmware)
once i had the rom i started searching for a way to extract the stock recovery from the rom
and i found this tool SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001 using this tool i extracted my stock
recovery from the ROM ( recovery.img ) , first stage complete i had a stock recovery
taken from a rom for my phone - brand and model must be right on the stock
firmware/rom or you risk damaging your phone (DO NOT CHEAT PLZ)
ps:when you unpack the firmware/rom you should get a .pac file
ps:finding my stock rom took me several days of search.
now for STAGE 2 i had a stock recovery a needed to change it
for twrp another few days of search i came across a site
called hovatek here i found a tool to port (change) the
stock recovery to boot the twrp recovery the tool name is
[Hovatek] Spreadtrum (SPD) Auto TWRP Recovery Porter V1.0 by Team Hovatek (x86)
i PORT my stock recovery with this tool the tool creates a modified recovery on the
output folder( a few kb bigger ) stage 2 done.
STAGE 3
1- a fully working ADB, for this your best option is android-studio
2-turn on USB debuging and OEM unlock in DEV options
3-name the new recovery file recovery.img
4- place the new ported recovery.img in the adb
installation folder ( c:\platform-tools-latest-windows\platform-tools )
5-your device has to be in USB MTP mode
6-if ADB is properly installed and Windows has the correct android device
driver you should be able to use these commands using android-studio's ADB
command- adb devices
-if the device is detected a serial number apears
command- adb reboot bootloader
-the device reboots to a black screen with small white letters saying FASTBOOT mode
command- fastboot devices
-the device displays the serial number again
command- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- if all went well it will say successful
command- fastboot reboot
-dont remenber if it booted straight to twrp or if i had to use power + volume up
-by the way on my phone to get in the default recover its 1 second hold power
and then with the power pressed for 1 sec add volume up 3 sec and let go of both
any way it worked i hope it helps ppl with these sc7731c phones
i have twrp 3.0.0 fully working (My Model - Selecline/Auchan s6s4in3g)
tips: youtube vídeos on how to use SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001
the hovatek site has a great tutorial on how to use the recovery porter tool
the last part the ADB commands was a ***** as Windows did not install my device
correctly and this is crucial -install phone driver manualy/Google device/Google android device. good luck
ps: all merit goes to the developers of these tools, a great ty to them
ps: at the start i did NOT have root, the success flashing the ported twrp recovery
was followed by the installation of the magisk15.3.zip and voila twrp+root
Here is a Ready twrp 3.1.1-0 recovery for SELECLINE/AUCHAN S6S4IN3G
(WARNING)do not flash it on any other brand or model IM NOT TO BLAME
Enjoy https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n2crfK7qkEc0G5ZjsUQRD02YMNb_MLGw/view?usp=sharing
step 1 - here is a tutorial on how to unpack the rom/firmware and get the stock recovery.img https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-6236.html
ps:in the tutorial he is using na older version of the tool ,the newer versions looks exactly the same as the SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001
step 2 - here is a vídeo tutorial on how to use the twrp porter , it modifies your stock recovery to boot twrp https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21669.html#.Wlcd9W4qhkE.facebook

its awsome when one understands it and can do it himself, enjoy your root :good:
In the Hovatek application, you can cheat your TWRP version. I don't know if it's working on other devices instead of using a lollipop version you can use Marshmallow version.

Thanks so much man, I've been pulling my hair trying to figure how to root this thing. You're the best. Do you know if there are any roms for it? maybe ported?
Thank you so much man, I can confirm this works with myphone a5!!!!
A different phone but same chip.
i have no image in the recovery, butyou can access it by adb anyway following this thread:
i have magisk now time to unninstall gapps!!!!
fastboot doesn't work to me anyway, I don't know why but it is the truth. may u can help me?
So many thanks for you work! I'd use your TWRP as base and ported it to the Wiko Sunny 2. The only problem is that touch input doesn't work well, it receives touches all the time.
I have an E504 with android 8.1.0 go edition, I accidentally deleted family photos and I need to recover them, for that I need to root the cell phone, you can do it or do you know how I can do it or who does it?

1. Flash TWRP what is at 100% suitable to your phone
2. Download SuperSU
3. Flash SuperSU by means of TWRP
0
I just bought a Nuu R1 Rugged Phone. It has Oreo 8.1.0 on it.
It is an "unlocked" phone. But I don't know if unlocked refers to the phone carrier or to the boot loader. (I'm thinking phone carrier.)
The last I rooted my tablets was Android 5, which required using a custom script that a dev here wrote that temporarily ran CW via fast boot.
I would like to root my R1. I hear now that Magisk is the way to go. (Instead of SU.)
Most every Guide says that I have to have TWRP installed before installing Magisk. But there's no TWRP for the R1. And I am incapable of compiling my own.
I learned, from Nuu Tech Support, that I can get into the phone's Recovery mode with some hidden button pushes. Here's a screen shot:
My first question is, could I simply install Magisk by selecting "Update from SD card"?
If it's not that easy, then, second: I can also get to a fastboot screen. (Not shown here.) Could I install Magisk from ADB on my computer?
I suppose a third question: Is there a version of TWRP that's compatible with this phone? And if so, how do I find it? It would be nice to have a Nandroid backup.
I am willing to show various screens that come up from various button pushes if that would help a dev here.
More data for TWRP'ing
So, I see that one needs an image of the OEM ROM to compile TWRP. I found two sites on the web that claim to have the ROM. (Before the R1 was officially released.) Sounds sketchy. Will try to get an image from Tech Support.
In the meantime, I found that the bootloader can be unlocked (or allowed to be unlocked) via a setting under Developer Options.
I contacted Nuu Mobile Support and they were kind to send me the MediaTek USB drivers for the R1.
It was a two step process to get the driver installed for ADB. But now I have access to the R1 via ADB.
I read here on the forums that I can boot TWRP via fastboot, and not risk ruining/corrupting the R1's Recovery Partition.
Anyone know of a TWRP model version that's close enough to work on the R1? (I presume a TWRP for another MediaTek device might work?)
I would hate to try KingRoot to get root.
I found a website called unofficialtwrp.com. It has a TWRP for the MediaTek 6739, running Oreo 8.1, with 16/2 GB. That's exactly what the Nuu Mobile R1 has.
So, hopeful that this would allow me to root my R1, I tried it. (Short version: Didn't work.)
I already had ADB installed and could talk to my R1 via ADB.
But once the R1 had booted into fastboot mode via ADB, I got a message from fastbood devices that it was "waiting."
I learned that that message means that I didn't have drivers for fastboot.
I ended up installing a fresh version of Win8.1 and using the Windows' updater to find the needed drivers. I had to have the R1 plugged in to the USB in fastboot mode for this to work. After that, I could talk to the device via the fastboot command.
So I unlocked the boot loader (which wiped my data - not every Guide warns you about that) and I did "fastboot boot recovery.img."
I got the message that the recovery file had transferred. After abotu 15 seconds, the phone rebooted. But no TWRP.
Rats.
I didn't want to try the fastboot flash command in case this unoffiical twrp from an unofficial site bricked my phone. If I understand things correctly, booting in fastboot to the recovery.img should give me a temporary instance of TWRP.
Presumably, after copying Magisk into memory, I would be able to get root that way.

Whoa you have been busy you must've heard XDA helps those who help themselves.. :highfive:
I just dropped by to say, 1st rule of modding is taking a pristine stock backup..
For MTK devices, there is a tool called SP Flash Tools, a quick search will help you take a full backup using this tool.
Afterward, you can even try using SP Flash Tools to flash a Magisk patched boot image to your device for ROOT!
Hope this helps!
Thanks. I did see SP Flash Tools mentioned and I did take a look at it. While I've rooted before, I'm trying to get my head around a Scatter File.
Everything I've read so far - well, almost everything - says that I need TWRP to get Magisk installed. But if you think it can be done via SP Flash Tools, I'll start playing with it.
Root nuu r1
Did u ever manage to figure out how to do this & get TWRP to install? :fingers-crossed:
No, I haven't had time to play with rooting lately. I still would like to root it tho.
Anyone know how to root the nuu phones?
someone has the boot.img i need the image
