Hi.
Basically I'm looking for something equivalent to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/recovery-solution-lollypop-roms-t3000822 , but for Z2.
Help please!
I do believe they may have already patched it
If not M5 kernel has a patch for it so newer twrp versions work

I was looking for a compatible recovery image, e.g. clockwork mod, for a phone. It is a Greek branded turbo-x pi (π) but there are many clones of it out there:
innos i7a (China) main model?
clones:
Rivo Phantom PZ-10 (Pakistan)
Kruger&Matz Soul (KM0409) (Poland)
Impression ImSmart S471 (Russia)
Turbo-x pi (π) (Greece)
The phone has android 4.3 stock rom, and a recovery that provide a backup/restore function that seems to work, but only for the current rom, so there is no way to downgrade 4.4.2 from a 4.3 backup (tested by someone else, so I am not sure).
A so presented on the net compatible recovery image does not work in my case (logo stuck), this one is:
INCOMPATIBLE, can destroy stock recovery image: maxule-cwm-6.0.3.3-fix.img
There is a compatible update (tested to work by someone else) (I guess compatible with all clones, but not sure of course):
RIVO_Phantom_PZ10_V5_emmc_qcn-official+factory+firamwear.rar
-- But the new recovery image does not offer a restore/backup function.
Is there a chance someone with android/cwm sources/dev environment, can port cwm for this one, I will provide the recovery image.
An android sources build environement would be hard for me to prepare.
Stock recovery for 4.3: ......mediafire.com/download/er1u6da7022r6eq/recovery.img
(I could provide image for 4.4.2 also) included in the rom above
without a proper backup/restore solution, update to 4.4.2 is a bit risky, and adb backup/restore seems buggy at first glance here.
what do you think?
thanks
Can you please help me?? I have the greek version of the phone turbo-x pi. How can I upgrade it to 4.4.X (for whatever X)???
I have also found this link : needrom.com/download/innos-i7a/
I don't know if it can help you.
My Firmware is E5803_Customized US_1298-3109_32.2.A.0.253_R4C
Which version of Xposed should I flash ?
I see threads from RomRacer and Rovo Both, Which one works on Z5C with above firmware ? (I see so many variations and threads)
And I also saw on search that older versions killed the Camera. Is it still the same?
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi there,
Since its a GENERIC TABLET made by an unknown Chinese manufacturer, it's impossible to get a firmware update. The best way is for you to create a custom version of android using LINEAGE OS, and also porting a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. But even though you have successfully created the OS you might not be able to install it on your Chinese Tablet.
Anyways if something happened during the process here's the link to download the stock firmware for that tablet :

USE SPFLASH TOOL TO install the firmware since it is an MTK device.

Yeah i started to go that route but have been unable to find a recovery for it or a lineage version for it. is it possible to use a twrp and linage for a different but similiar tablet?

Hi there,
Yeah Twrp is just a recovery software, and Lineage is just a custom ROM, so you can use it on a different tablet. But again you have to port those two software for it to work.
However you can research it on google to see how to port them on different phones or tablets.

I acquired a china tablet running lollipop 5.1.1 arm64v8
The board is al-mt81xx-86v1 with a cpu 8163
Kernel version 3.10.72 [email protected] #6
Build number HY U804MC_20190517_V1.1.00
Custome build version ALPS.L1.MP8.V_ALONG8163.E_p9
Recovery doen't work, just shows a sideways Android with no choices.
I would love a recovery that works and possibile the stock rom.
I can use my puter and get to adb root.
and the bootloader is already unlocked.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Do you know which commercial Alps tablet is the direct ancestor of your custom U804MC? Maybe if you found the firmware for that, you could fix this.
Thanks for replying

I finally got TWRP ported into the recovery, its upside down on the screen ( ie. you swipe the top when the image is on the bottom )but its at least working
I really want to thank you for replying, Staysafe and COVID free.
Do you think maybe you ported a TWRP for MT8127 into your MT8163? Could be incompatible?

To port TWRP you need the same processor and kernel version for donor and stock....It is the fastest way to port I think
I have been trying to find a method to update the android version on Hisilicon Hi3796 M100 android Set top box which is at present running android 4.4.2. As the android is this old, it doesn't support a good number of apps, from playstore, or by adb. I tried to find a custom rom online, but couldn't find. Is there one? Or is there any way to update the os if there is no official update available?
Moving from Android 4.4.2 to Android 5.0+ is an upgrade not an update.
To upgrade you need a Custom ROM what requires you have to flash a Custom Recovery ( e.g. TWRP ) before. Do you have a 100% matching TWRP available?
Hey,
Thank you for the quick reply. And thank you again for correcting that update-upgrade thing. Will keep it in mind.
And I am sorry I couldn't find a custom ROM for my device online. I am not sure what exactly it means by flashing a custom recovery.
Could you please explain it a little bit... or give some link from where I could find it out?
Thank you.

No. I searched everywhere I could and there is not even remotely matching TWRP available.
