hi folks,
tomorow should be getting my hands on the Ulephone power 2.
its the 5.5 screen 4gb ram 64gb rom.
all looks good until i have seen that the normal duel sim is one is hybrid for sdcard which is the norm right,
ant
but............
usually its sim 1 is for 4g cards and the hybrid is for 2g/3g/sdcard. yeah?
well the power 2 looks like its sim slot 1 is a 2g/3g slot and the hybrid is 4g or sdcard??????????
so will have to choose 4g or sdcard??? that cant be right?
I don't try this device with sim.
I know you can use the older power (1) have a sim 4g and SD card
So i believe the power 2 have the same method.
My first steps: How to root this device? i don't find a twrp.
I try to root with kingroot kingoroot, no results
Please?
The power 2 is the same as the power wrt the sim/memory card tray; both sim slots support 4g, but only one at a time. So if you put two 4g sims in, only one of them will have 4g (you choose which one), with a sim and a memory card the 4g should default to the inserted sim, but you might have to check this in settings.
Received my power 2 a couple of weeks ago after having it on pre-order for a month and I love it (sold the original power towards the cost).
I haven't tried rooting it yet, but was thinking of trying to flash twrp for the original power and seeing if that works. The great thing about these phones is that they're very hard to brick as you can always flash them as long as they still switch on.

I'm sure it's not working the twrp from the power (1).
If you have troubles with bootloops you can flash again the facatory rom and SP flash tools.
Press the power volume + and - and SP flash tools gonna flash.
The only way is to made a twrp from the k6000 http://fvknl.pro/k6000-plus-root-guide/
I don't know how, that device is almost the same...
There has been 2 ulefone Updates since launch
Android 8.0 is scheduled for end of the year.
Updates are fine, who can create a TWRP? So we can finally root the device

TWRP please!
Not so easy to do it. It will take very long time to port or build twrp
It sucks that power 2 still doesn't have root or twrp. I refuse to touch unrooted phones. I just received it as gift. I will keep it in a drawer and check next month or so.
I find that it lacks optimisation, kinda laggy in 3D/games ..
On Antutu, scores is 44000. I tested a galaxy S5 of a friend, it was 72000. For a phone that is several years older than Power 2.
I understand that it comes not with high end cpu/gpu but still..
I will copy my post from needrom website.
I have successfully rooted my two Power 2 phones. I had to port the TWRP recovery from Oukitel k6000 plus using Carliv Image Kitchen and following some online tutorials.
The only issue is, TWRP is semi functional, that is, touch doesn't work. I had to connect a mouse to my phone via OTG usb port and using some dongle to make USB smaller to fit the port. Also it comes with Russian language as default, but can be changed to English or any other as the original TWRP from Oukitel k6000+ (3rd button from second column, then click on Globe tab at the top right then choose English and the only button at the bottom to accept the change).
I am trying to fix this with no luck so far. But at least I am rooted and I was able to flash "SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip" which is the latest as of writing this. SuperSu functions properly and I am able to use AdAway.
If anyone is interested in the recovery image, I will post it. I flashed it using fastboot though after unlocking the bootloader using "fastboot oem unlock"

I would very much like to give this a go with my ulefone power 2!
Here you go, TWRP for Ulefone Power 2
What you need to do before you start flashing:
0) You need to have ADB installed on your computer, if you have Windows, the easiest way is by using 15 Seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3.
1) Your bootloader must be unlocked, otherwise flashing recovery will fail using fastboot command. PLEASE NOTE: When unlocking the bootloader, your phone will do a factory reset automatically, so backup all your important files beforehand.
To unlock the bootloader:
a) Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Build number (tap on it 7 times to unlock Developer Options) -> Tap on back to Settings menu then Developer Options.
b) Now move the slider for "OEM Unlocking" to enable it, say yes to the warning message.
c) Enable "USB Debugging"
d) Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable, say Yes for the dialog on your phone to trust your computer for debugging using USB.
e) Run command prompt and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then press enter
f) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then press Volume UP on your phone to allow OEM Unlock. It shouldn't take long, just few seconds and a message will appear on command prompt saying success or OK.
g) Type
Code:
fastboot reboot
To reboot your phone, it might reboot twice, it will do a factory reset and you will have to "Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging" again. As a side note, you will also notice that OEM Unlocking is grayed out. It will remain like that unless you do "fastboot oem lock" or erase the entire phone (might erase imei, but can be restored using SN Writer Tool) and/or flash bootloader using SP_FLASH_TOOL, but I digress.
2) Before you flash TWRP recovery, you must have SuperSu zip file on your phone beforehand, otherwise, your phone will not boot to Android. It has to do with something about the original TWRP for Oukitel k6000+, since the author of that TWRP port said so in the instructions about how to flash the recovery.
So download SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip from this link or the original SuperSu thread on XDA, and copy the file into your phone, say inside the Download folder in the internal memory of your phone.
3) Open command prompt again if it is not already open, type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\TWRP-recovery-20170618-1340.img
Note: You replace the path for the TWRP recovery to where you have the file, to make it easier, just put it in the root of C drive.
Also, if you don't already know, while in command prompt, you can type C:\TWRP then press TAB to auto-complete the file name for you, so you don't have to type lengthy file names. Keep pressing TAB to cycle between similar occurrences, that is, if you have more than one file that their names start with TWRP
5) Press power button until phone shuts down. Then press Volume UP + Power and keep holding until you see super tiny text with 3 options to cycle between. Release your fingers from Volume Up + Power, then cycle between the options using Volume Up only, choose "RECOVERY" which is the first in the menu, then press Volume DOWN to select.
6) Wait a few seconds, you will be inside TWRP, connect your phone with a mouse since touch doesn't work here. Once you do, you will see a mouse pointer appear. I used a wireless mouse with bluetooth dongle, with an adapter to change USB port size.
7) Slide the slider to the right, to enable modifications to System partition. Don't press anything else, unless you know Russian, I don't .
8) To change the language to English or your own language, click on the third button of the second column. Then click on the Globe tab on the top right corner, change language, then press the only button at the bottom to accept. Language of the UI is changed.
9) Click "Install", browse for the SuperSu zip file you have downloaded to your phone, for example inside the Download folder. And then select it.
10) Slide to the right to flash SuperSu.
11) From the TWRP menus, you can reboot your phone.
12) Enjoy your rooted Power 2 phone. :good:

hello , i got a ulefone power 2 but unfortunately its not powering on. As i am from india and returning or replacing is costly and timetaking process, i need you guys to help me. I tried to flash it with software available on the website but stuck. I need some checksum.ini file which is not there in the firmware file provided. So anyone please help me. the phone doesnt even show the ulefone logo. i can just see the charging percentage when the charger is connected, then keeping it connected i tried to turn on but didnt work. keeping the charger connected ,after some time the display goes off and no mater how long you press the power button , the display doesnt show up. I can only see the notification bulb.
Soft bricked :laugh: trying to recover the phone, official ulefone guide is useless. Getting some error about a missing checksum.ini file. Will keep this thread updated
All went well until step 9, where I realised factory reset deleted the supersu zip. So I tried to reboot into system to download it again. It never booted. Doesnt even go into adb mode.
Fastboot mode and TWRP intact (TWRP needs a mouse). I was able to flash original recovery via fastboot, getting "cannot load system.img" error when I try to flash system (it appears I might need to update my adb/fastboot version).
UPDATE: was able to flash the stock rom. And tried to follow the guide again, and faced the same symptoms. If i have working TWRP, then the system doesnt boot. And vice-versa. Will keep updated, i'm a persistent mf

Yeah, I had the same issue with the software that comes from Ulefone, it was asking for Checksum Generator that I have to download separately, it was like 150kb stand alone executable, you put it in the same folder of your stock ROM and wait forever for it to build the Checksum, which unfortunately didn't work since it complains about multiple RECOVRY images. So scratch that.
What you need to do, is as I did, download SP FLASH TOOL, it works great, no shinanigans or bullsh!t. It flashed the stock ROM in less than 2 minutes (around 1:30 seconds, to be exact) and revived my phone. There are plenty of youtube tutorials on how to use it. It is easy, just load the scatter file, for the other file, you can use the same all in one mtk file that comes with SP FLash Tool (I did this) or use the one from your STOCK ROM.
I hope that helps :good:

All I can think of, you did something wrong. Initially, while I was trying to port TWRP, I had the same issue, I was trying to save some steps by flashing the recovery after I unlocked the bootloader without rebooting, the result was TWRP was not able to see any partitions.
Flash Stock-ROM and redo the steps. If you flash the preloader you might have to OEM Unlock your phone again.
I mentioned that if you "do not flash SuperSu, the system will NOT boot to Android". Also mentioned that after you unlock the bootloader, you have to RE-ENABLE USB Debugging, and while you are at it, check to see if your bootloader is unlocked inside Developer Options.
Edit: BTW, try not to unlock the bootloader if it is already unlocked. If it is unlocked, then skip the steps for unlocking the bootloader. It might cause an issue.
These are the steps I used to flash TWRP and I was able to flash SuperSu, all rooted apps are working fine, AdAway, Lucky Patcher...etc!

Apparently if you dont flash the supersu first time you go into TWRP then it gets messy. Got the root working now. Thank you for the help and of course for the TWRP build!
Also if anyone's wondering it's possible to restore the system via fastboot. Extract the rom zip (can be downloaded from http:/ulefone.com/download/power2.html ) and flash boot, recovery and system;
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
link for sp flash tool u used.

ok what should i select there? formal all+download or download only or firmware upgarade???
IMPORTANT: It appearance that Huawei is no longer going to provide bootloader unlocking services for their devices. Because of this, this guide is of no use unless you can find a way to get a code or you just held onto the code.
Hello, this is a guide for unlocking the bootloader and rooting the Huawei Ascend XT. I am writing this because the current guide is not very well written and does not contain bootloader unlock instructions. This will be split into two parts: Part 1, unlocking the bootloader, and Part 2, rooting the phone.
PLEASE NOTE THAT FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE!
THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
1. A Huawei Ascend XT with at least 60% of battery left
2. A computer with adb drivers, fastboot drivers, and the Huawei USB drivers
3. A Micro-SD card for your backups (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE MAKE BACKUPS!)
4. TWRP for this phone. This can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-ascend-xt-h1611-t3507933 (credits to enigma2446)
5. The ZIP containing SuperSU. This can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-ascend-xt-h1611-t3507933
6. The SDK Platform Tools. These can be found on the android studio website.
PART 1: UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER1. Geting the Bootloader Unlock Code: You need to get your bootloader unlock code. You can get this by going to https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock
(EDIT: It appears that this website is down. I have read that if you PM Huawei on Twitter or call them and provide all the details of your phone, they will give you a code. I have not tested this method, bit people have said it worked with the mate 10.) and signing into your Huawei ID. If you dont have one, create one. Then, follow the instructions given to you by Huawei to get the code.
2. Enabling the Enable OEM Unlock Option: To enable this option, you must enable developer options. To do this, go to Settings>About Phone and tap the Build number until it says "You are now a Developer". back out of About Phone, and go to Developer options. turn on "Enable OEM unlock" and press Enable.
3. Enable USB Debugging: While you are still in Developer options, enable the option 'USB debugging" and press OK.
4. Booting Into the Bootloader: once you have completed the first three steps, you can now boot into the bootloader. Connect your phone to your computer, and open the Platform Tools folder you should have downloaded and extracted. Shift-Right click, and press "Open Command Window Here" or "Open Powershell Window Here", depending on your version of windows. Once it is open, make sure your device is detected by typing "adb devices". If it displays your device, you are good to continue. If not, something is not set up right on your computer or phone. Once you verified that your phone is detected, type "adb reboot bootloader".
5. Unlocking the Bootloader: Once your phone has booted into the bootloader, you can now unlock the bootloader. YOUR PHONE WILL BE WIPED ONCE YOU TYPED THIS COMMAND. You can unlock it by typing "fastboot oem unlock <your bootloader unlock code>". Once it has finished, you can reboot your phone, and just run through the setup fast, because you will still have to wipe it again.
PART 2: ROOTING YOUR PHONE1. Move the TWRP image you downloaded (called
Xtrecovery) to your Platform Tools folder and rename it to "TWRP.img"
2. Insert Your Micro-SD Card
3. Move the SuperSU Zip you downloaded to the SD card
4. Re-Enable USB Debugging: Enable Developer options by going to Settings>About Phone and taping the Build number until it says "You are now a Developer". Back out of About Phone, and go to Developer options, and enable USB debugging, and press OK.
5. Boot Into the Bootloader: Type "adb reboot bootloader" into your open CMD window or Powershell window.
6. Verify That your Phone says that the Bootloader is unlocked
7. Type "fastboot boot TWRP.img"
8. TWRP should boot. Tap "Keep Read Only"
9. You should now be in TWRP. Go to Backup>Select Storage and choose your Micro-SD card and tap OK. Uncheck everything and check "Recovery". Then, Swipe the slider to back up your stock recovery partition.
10. Once it has finished backing up, reboot your phone to the bootloader.
11. Once it is in the bootloader, type "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" to flash TWRP as your recovery. (I believe this is the point where your warrenty will be invalidated by Huawei, so be careful.)
12. When it finishes flashing TWRP, reboot your phone to TWRP by holding down the power button and volume up
13. It should boot to TWRP. Tap "Keep Read Only", then go to (YOU ARE ABOUT TO WIPE IT AGAIN)Wipe>Format Data and type yes, and hit the enter button.
14. Once it finishes, go to Backup>Select Storage, select your SD card and hit OK, then check every box to backup all six partitions, and swipe to back them up. (At the end, it may seem to get stuck at 98-99%, DO NOT STOP IT! It is generating an MD5 checksum)
15. When it finishes backing everything up, go back to the home screen of TWRP, then go to Install, navigate to where you stored the SuperSU ZIP, select it, then swipe to flash it.
16. When it finishes flashing the SuperSU ZIP, tap "Clear Cache/Dalvik" and swipe to clear them.
17. Reboot your phone. IT WILL REBOOT MULTIBLE TIMES AND APPEAR TO BE STUCK SOMETIMES, BUT DONT TOUCH IT! This is normal and it will eventually boot like normal.
That's it!
Your phone should now be rooted and have SuperSU installed. Please note that this is a Systemless root, and will be removed if you factory reset your phone.Thanks to divineBliss for creating the original instructions.
What do we do after we get root to install custom ROMS? please advise

To install a custom ROM, you need the ROM you want to install, gapps depending on the ROM, and the proper firmware. The firmware you are on can be found under about phone and is the last 4 digets of the build number (in the format of B1xx). Once you are on the proper firmware, have your ROM and other things it may require, (every ROM is different), and a backup (just in case), you can flash the ROM from TWRP. Follow the instructions provided by the creator of the ROM to properly flash it.

It will not. The TWRP recovery image is device specific and might brick your device if you flash it to your phone.

Well I did not see that, so yeah, I have bricked it. IT comes up and says it is unlocked, it used to sit there then boot into the system.
So I downloaded the TWRP, tried to reboot to recovery and nothing.
Now, it just gets to the yellow warning screen, then goes black. Just bought this today on a black friday sale for 49.00
But did it for a reason. Now I would like to be able to recover it....
I was able to run adb and fastboot, so know that the drivers work, but it looks like it won't even get there now.
And it won't even go to the recovery, so I guess this phone is a real brick.
Can't seem to get the back cover off to remove the battery either.
You need a copy of the stock H1711 recovery image to use
"fastboot flash recovery H1711-stock-recovery.img" to restore the stock recovery. Until someone creates a working H1711 TWRP, I don't know where you'll find a stock H1711 recovery image file.

Does the phone even have a fastboot mode?

Sure it does
Notes on booting up the phone (from power off)
Bootloader (fastboot) = power + volume down + USB hooked to pc
eRecovery = power + volume up + USB hooked to PC
TWRP = power + volume up

Optionally you put phone into bootloader/fastboot or recovery modes by typing from an adb prompt "reboot bootloader" or "reboot recovery"
Hi there. The website link for submitting your imei to get the unlock code doesn't work. Does anyone know how to get this code now?

You'll have to use DC Unlocker and pay to unlock until the page returns
Since unlocking the bootloader is no longer supported, I have a suggestion but am afraid to try myself.
So, download stock version of rom (aka fastboot rom). Extract, replace recovery.img with twrp (renamed to recovery.img). Restart phone in EDL mode, flash. In theory, edl is working fastboot mode so it shouldn't matter if bootloader is unlocked, correct?

Imma try this out, I’m stuck in a weird situation where my sd card slot broke. When I sent it in for service, they said it was rooted and refused to fix it. I specifically did not root it so that I could send it in for warranty service. So it’s mission to try and root, unlock boot loader etc so that I can have more storage space

[GUIDE] Huawei P10 Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Nougat&Oreo "Updated_19.5.2018"
Huawei P10 debrand/rebrand/update GUIDE
This thread will be discontinued, because Huawei refuses to provide unlock codes in the future, because of security reasons.
A shame that after the support end of the device it will be quite useless, cause you don´t get any security updates and have no chance to make secure again, by flashing something else.
I recommend you not buy any Huaweidevices in the future cause of that.
Disclaimer:
Before you do anything (stupid), backup your data!!!! Don´t make me or others responsible, i warned you!!!!!
If you wan´t to go back to your orginial version some day, you have to backup your OEMinfo!!! Best way to that is via TWRP before the rebranding ( see details of STEP 1)
When using the follwing script, take your time and drink a cup of coffee/tea!!!! First rule, don´t panic!!! Don´t do any (unnecessary) extra steps, while using the script!!!
Be aware that the phone sometimes takes longer for a step to finish, or you get stuck on a certain procedure (maybe depending on your branding). Key is to what to do at this point e.g. how to boot manually into fastboot.
If for some reason you must restart the procedure and factory reset appeared for the step, remember to look for the debugsettings and other mandatory settings.
Please use the orginal cable that came with the device for the rebranding and not some cheap aftermarket stuff. Also make sure you USB-Port has enough power (Might be the case on some notebooks)
70% of the posts/questions here are answered, if you read the gude carefully. So do you´re job and read!!!! Yes, i know it´s a lot to read, but details will maybe save your a**
Make sure you removed security pin from the device and also remove the google-account from the device itself, so you are not triggering googlesecuritysystem on nougat or oreo.
If you have a carrier version of the singleSIM P10 (VTR-L09xxxx) and you want rebrand or debrand it, you have to use the firmware for DualSIM (VTR-L29xxxx), or you SIM won´t be recognized anymore!
The good thing is, after that, you´ll be able to use both SIM or SIM and microSD. The provided HWOTA rom is mainly for the L29. If you want the L09 you have to replace the "update_all_hw.zip" in the update folder. If you not sure how to get, take a look in the Huawei-Forums
From Oreo to Oreo:
1. Download: @AndroidFilehost: HWOTA8_P10_B369a (Oreo) (MD5-Hash: fd330a74d22d2ef55a02bfcfdcea33ee )
All important files are inside this package!!
2. The steps for the this procedure are described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522
From Nougat To Oreo (or Nougat to Nougat, if you use the older files):
STEP 1 (optional steps for the oeminfo backup are cursive)
1. Unlock your bootloader: (There´s no way around it (unfortnuately), but after the procedure your device will be locked again, so don´t worry!)
The device will make a factory reset, so once again, BACKUP your files!!!!!!!!!!
If you already unlocked your bootloader with installed twrp you can go to step 2. You don´t have to install TWRP in the following miniguide. the script installs it automatically.
But if you want to backup your system or the OEMinfo you have to do this step.
1. Request an unlock code: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeGwoQ44zqykuTfjCQrVP07JOHBYnBcAxAbz9SAVxPTFqMh9g/viewform or contact Huawei via live chat on their site.
It may take some time till you get the code. Hopefully they revamp their old unlocksite in the future, cause using a googleform seems to be temporary solutions anyways.
I also found a nice handy tool, but haven´t testet it yet on the p10 and officially it isn´t yet supported (for now only P20): https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3358711 If can prove that it´s working for the P10 just leave a comment in the thread here or in the orginal thread.
2 Download Hisuite and install: HiSuite
3. Enable ‘USB debugging’ and ‘OEM Unlock’ option from setting>developer option>. To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.
4. Install the ADB Minimal Installer or ADB and Fastboot for Mac and then restart if you already have the driver installed then skip this step.
5. Download TWRP for the P10
6. Now go to ADB and Fastboot installation directory open ADB folder and open the command window as an administrator
7. Connect your phone to PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing “adb reboot bootloader”.
8. Type “fastboot devices” in command prompt and hit enter, it gives you serial numbers in return means your phone connected properly.
10. To unlock bootloader, type fastboot oem unlock yourunlockkey. Here replace unlock key with the key you got. For example “fastboot oem unlock 1234567890″.
11. If you want TWRP at this point you have to copy the downloaded twrp.img-file into the adb directory and type fastboot flash recovery twrpimage.img If you already have oreo running on your device, you must use this updatepackage and follow the guide <.--instead of twrpimage.img type in the exact filename you´ve downloaded.
12. To restart the system type “fastboot reboot”
13. Boot into TWRP and make a Backup of the "OEMinfo" and/or the system. You should be able to that without any guide, otherwise it´s a big mistake keep reading and following this guide!!!
STEP 2
1. Depending on your variant (You can check with the app firmwarefinder and imei, if the update is approved) use:
@AndroidFilehost: HWOTA_P10_B369a (Oreo) (MD5-Hash: b935a84180565fb1717a46d7337f2d43 )
@AndroidFilehost: HWOTA_P10_B365 (Oreo) (MD5-Hash: dbcd30e157625fc6d709b26d49421bb6 )
@MegaUpload: HWOTA_P10_B360 (Oreo) (MD5-Hash: E75DCD3950517E517865878DF8F21679 )
Be aware, it takes some modifications to the script if you wan´t to rollback to nougat. You´ll find guides here on xda for that. So really be sure if you want the new oreo version.
Also you bootloader may stay unlocked after using the script to update to oreo. You have to relock it manually. Boot in fastboot mode and use: fastboot relock INSERTYOURUNLOCKKEYHERE. After relocking your device will once again do a factory reset.
@MegaUpload: HWOTA_P10_B180 (Nougat) (MD5-Hash: 7E11EE56E83AB98DA4DE03273A6A7633 )
@MegaUpload: HWOTA_P10_B179 (Nougat) (MD5-Hash: 7D133B7484E7B4AABA84BA1284D148EC )
some older versions of the hwota:
@MegaUpload: HWOTA_P10_B164
@MegaUpload: HWOTA_P10_B130
and extract it on your PC or your device SD Card. I recommend using 7zip.
2. Run the update.bat file from a preopended CMD with adminrights, It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.
3. Now connect your device and Reboot into Bootloader mode using “Volume Down + Power” or just use “adb reboot bootloader” then press any key.
4. The above step will install TWRP in your device.
5. Now Disconnect USB Cable and turn off your device and use “Volume Up + Power” to enter TWRP.
6. Once you’re in TWRP mode, plug in the USB cable again and press the Enter key on your computer.
7. If your files are saved in the HWOTA folder on the SD card, type 1 and press ENTER and if files are saved in the HWOTA/Update folder on your PC, type 2 and press ENTER. I recommend using the sdcard, cause you avoid problems with cheap cables, driverproblems, etc. Make sure you sdcard is fully working and has no errors.
8. It’ll ask you the update type, again type 1 and press the Enter button twice.
9 Done! Be patient an let it do it thing.
10. If you have any problems booting, i recommend doing an low-level factory reset after.
11. Run the update.bat file as an administrator, It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.
12. Now connect your device and Reboot into Bootloader mode using “Volume Down + Power” or just use “adb reboot bootloader” then press any key.
13. The above step will install TWRP in your device.
14. Now Disconnect USB Cable and turn off your device and use “Volume Up + Power” to enter TWRP.
15. Once you’re in TWRP mode, plug in the USB cable again and press the Enter key on your computer.
16. If your files are saved in the HWOTA folder on the SD card, type 1 and press ENTER and if files are saved in the HWOTA/Update folder on your PC, type 2 and press ENTER. I recommend using the harddrive of the pc
17. It’ll ask you the update type, again type 1 and press the Enter button twice.
18. Done! Be patient an let it do it´s thing.
19. If you have any problems booting, i recommend doing an low-level factory reset after.
20. If you are rebranding your device with this method, you have to do the whole "STEP 2" again in order to flash the new system files correctly. Also sometimes the device gets stuck on installing the new system after pushing the big updatefiles via adb. Wait 10min and if nothings happens you have to longpress the power key in order to complete.
21. After the new firmwarefiles have been pushed the device will make a factory reset, if it fails, restart the device while pressing Power+Volume up and factory reset the device from the orginal recovery. If enter TWRP at this point, something went wrong.
After that, you´ll be able to get updates directly from huawei via systemupdate or use the awesome firmware finder from the playstore.
If you wondering how to use the firmware finder, watch this guide and do it step by step: Firmware Finder Tutorial If you don´t want to rebrand/debrand this maybe enough for you!
STEP 3 (Optional Update Method 1)
If you have already unlocked your bootloader und installed TWRP, you can also use this method to install the new system update (Don´t try it if you are running oreo or wan´t to install it!! There is no stable und fully functioning version of TWRP for Oreo yet!!!):
1. Make a complete backup of your current system via twrp and save the backup to sd or your pc.
2. Download one of the Huawei P10_HWOTA files from above, save it on your device and unzip it
3. Navigate to the update folder in the HWOTA-folder and copy the 3 files to your device (sdcard recommended)
4. Now Boot your device into TWRP
5. In TWRP flash "update.zip" and don´t reboot!!!
6. Flash "update_all_hw.zip" and don´t reboot!!!
7. Flash "update_data_public.zip"
6. Wait until all files are flashed
7. Done! Reboot TWRP
STEP 4 (Optional Update Method 2):
1. download and install Firmware Finder
2. start the app and search for the exact model you want to update for example VTR-L29C432
3. Look for an FullOTA package and check with your IMEI if the device is approved, otherwise it won´t install cause huawei hasn´t signed the update for your device (IMEI) yet.
3. hit the button "inapp proxy" and setup the proxy with localhost and port 8080 in your phone´s wifi settings.
4. check for the update in systemupdate-app from huawei on your phone, start the update and pause it quickly (at 1-3%).
5. delete the proxy in your wifi settings.
6. resume the update
7. After successful download your device will reboot and install the update
If it fails there actually 3 reasons:
1. your Wifi is crap
2. you didn´t do the steps correctly
3. the firmware isn´t approved for your device, so be sure to check with imei before

My Other P10 Plus Thread
[TOOL] TOOL ALL IN ONE (No P10 Support yet, but you can request it)
Tips:
Pressing Power + Volume Down will launch the Fastboot Mode
Pressing Power + Volume Up will launch the Recovery Mode
Pressing Power + Volume Down with connected USB will launch the Fastboot Mode in forcemode (might useful if you can´t boot to the bootloader)
Pressing Power + Volume Down+Up will launch the forced firmwareupdate if you have the suitable updatefiles on your sdcard in a folder named "dload"
Turning your phone off and then pressing Volume Down while pluging in your USB-Cable will launch the Fastboot Mode
This whole thing was only possible because of the hard work of other heros here on xda!!
Mainly its based on the method from mankindtw [Guide] Mate 9 Flash Update Package and Rebrand
Big THX to mankindtw for the script!! Please send him some money, if you can!
Thanks a lot.
I plan to use your method.
Can I change the Chinese version (VTR-AL00) to VTR-L29 version in this way?

I´m not 100% sure, but in my opionion your VTR-AL00 (should be the china version with playstore) has exactly the same hardware as the VTR-L29. Be sure to backup you system or at least only your oeminfo.
In case you rebranding doesn´t function you can revert back to your orginal version via TWRP. Maybe you should try the 636 instead of the 432, depending on your location.

Really sure, think about it twice, most people want rebrand their phone to L09 or L29. I makes no sense to rebrand to VTR-L00, the only advantage i see, is that you get updates earlier, but in fact the other variants get really often updates too.
People with VTR-L00 bought their device cheap in china and want to rebrand because of the missing playstore, or thr missing LTE bands.
Here you can see the differences between the variants:

I´m sorry i can´t provide yoo a oeminfo for the VTR-L00.

Actually in VTR-AL00 you have more features and the updates are faster. Moreover, you can install play store
By the way in case I don't like it, I can go back to European version. But at the moment I want to try VTR-AL00!
Do you know where I can download it or do you know someone who has it?
Thank you
Good day.. i am using this method.. i have one question..
what is this firmware provided?? HWOTA_P10_B164.zip
is it VTR-L29C432 or C636??
thanks!

Be sure to stick exactly to the steps! After its finished wait at least 15min.
If the device won´t reboot itself, you have to switch it off and maybe make a low level reset via orginal recovery, if you´re stuck in a boot loop.
Happened to me on 1 of 5 flashes.

Maybe you forgot to unplug the cable. Just repeat the steps to this point. If you however get stuck, try to flash a custom rom for the p10 from this section, at least you get your device working again.
Maybe you find a solution here: [Guide] Mate 9 Flash Update Package and Rebrand it´s the same batch from mankindtw, only with files for the p10.

Please read again everything in Step 1, there lies your answer how to get your TWRP and what to activate in developersettings. This step has nothing to do with the update.bat and is absolutely crucial and mandatory.
After installing TWRP the official way, make a backup and continue.

O.K. now i understand, did you set OEM-Unlocking in Developer Options? It seems like you have a locked FRP and your device doesn´t allow flashing the custom recovery.
Someone already had this problem on the Mate 9:

K, now we are talking. Only thing you can do is flash your rom back to stock the semi-official way:
Download the firmware finder from the playstore.
Search for your device (not the one you want rebrand to) and check with IMEI in Firmware Finder just to be sure. Here you have a guide: Firmware Finder Tutorial
If you prefer reading, you can also follow this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-update-p10-via-firmware-finder-app-t3674477
Then you should be back to normal. When it´s finished you can try again, just be really sure following the steps and do no extra steps!! ....for Instance wiping something after you installed TWRP
You can try the dload method instead, but i recommend doing it via firmwarefinder, simply cause it will work.
1-step
in order to root these qilive devices you will need...
magisk manager apk v5.6.4
stock boot.img file
working ADB to unlock oem and flash
2-step
lets get to it
place the magisk.apk and the stock boot.img
in the internal memory of your phone (downloads)
if you like to keep stuff organized :good:
3-step
follow the vídeo tutorial and use magisk manager
to patch your stock boot.img it will output a new
boot.img that includes magisk Root (patched_boot.img)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF4_hnKgjFA
ps: major ty to hovatek team for this great tutorial
step-4 use Google drive or usb OTG to get the patched_
boot.img to your PC and place it in the ADB folder
once you have oem(bootloader) unlocked just
rename the patched_boot.img to boot.img
step-5
unlock oem, these qilive devices wont unlock
the bootloader even if you enable it in DEV options
enable USB debug in dev options
you will need to use ADB commands
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock
(MAJOR WARNING the fastboot
oem unlock will wipe/reset/factoryreset/delete your data)
after you give the command small letters will appear
on the phone screen(yes or no) hard to read dont be hasty plz
use VOLUME+ to select and VOLUME - to confirm
note: when my phone ended the unlock it whent back to
that black screen where you choose fastboot-recovery-restart
and was stuck there, side keys did nothing if this happens
just long press the power key for 10 sec it will shutdown
then press power again to turn on
first boot after unlock will take longer then normal dont freakout
after you unlock small letters will appear during boot up saying the device
is not safe unlocked ,you can later use ( fastboot oem lock )
step-6
flash the patched boot.img with ADB
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
finished/ok
command- fastboot reboot
and voila you should now have magisk
installed in the app drawer, open it!!
step-7 run the install one final time from the
magisk manager and install magisk V16 using
recomended option it will verify/patch the boot image
Do NOT select the AVB 2.0 BOX it will bootloop the phone
and your done, enjoy your qilive rooted phone.
from this point on you can use the fastboot
command- fastboot oem lock
to remove the letters in boot up about the
device not safe unlocked
WARNING oem lock
will WIPE/FACTORY RESET again (god damn it!!)
ps: i had to install twice in a row,major pain in the ....
Repeat step 7 after Wipe/Reset
here is the stock boot for 2 qilive models
you can get the stock firmware for any qilive
at this site www.doc-doapi.com/EM/qilive/smartph...te_3m-fdd-cs_mul_20170818-110645_songlixin_PC
and get the recovery or boot from the unpacked firmware file
ps:my phone is the Q8SIN4GP AND ITS WORKING FINE
A VERY SPECIAL TY to topjohnwu (magisk creator), this man is nothing
short of a God damn genius!! , and if you can donate to him.
hope this helps other qilive users to root:highfive:
quick note on the qilive models, they have two model names
the cliente name in my case Q8SIN4GP
and the factory name in my model its 882912
in order to download the right firmware for your model
you need the factory model witch is what appears in the qilive
site above, it will be in the back of the phone or the original
box on a sticker just bellow the bar code, full model exempl
:Q8SIN4GP/882912 my firmware serves several models,
these Q8 models all start with 88xxxx WARNING
dont try this using the wrong firmware/boot file or you will DAMAGE your phone
Help with BOOTLOOP problems, if you find your self stuck in a bootloop
the phone wont go past the qilive logo and just stays there, dont freak out
you will loose your data but there is a way out
just keep pressing power + Volume up until a black screen with 3 options appears
when it does let go, use Volume + to select option and Volume - to confirm
select Fastboot or alternative select recovery and then select reboot to bootloader
both option will place your phone in Fastboot mode, once in fastboot mode
connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands to fix/bootloop
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock (skip this if you use phone unlocked)
a confirm action option appears on the phones screen
use Volume up to say YES / or Volume Down to say NO
Warning oem unlock will WIPE/Factory reset your phone
once it finishes the phone will be stuck on the
Recovery/fastboot/restart screen just long press the power key
until the phone shuts down
start the phone again using Power + Volume up when the black
screen with the 3 options come up, let go and use Volume up to
select Fastboot mode and confirm using Volume Down
Once in fastboot connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands
command- fastboot devices
serial apears
Here you will flash the magisk patched_boot.img
the same image you used to root your phone
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
it will say finished-ok (or similar)
command- fastboot reboot
the boot up time will be longer than normal
but the phone should now complete the boot
and present the inicial setup screen, select language
enter your mail, the usual bla bla...
any way at this point just repeat step 7
to get root running again

Hi phonedriller,
phew, I did it! (Q8S55IN4G2), thanks.
Next step: Have you found a compatible custom recovery? (especially for nandroid backups and for xposed installation)
Would be very thankful for your help!

hi phonedriller,
...well, i must have been an unlucky fisherman
an app i installed ended up giving me a soft brick (bootloop between qilive icon opening screen - btw still with the "warning" of "device is unsafe etc", i.e. oem still open - and black screen, qilive opening screen etcetcetc)
have cleaned cache; went for factory reset; etc
BUT: am presently stuck when trying to go via ADB (which used to work perfectly before) that somehow the usb drivers don't want to get installed properly. as a consequence, desktop cannot see devices.
and i cannot, for the sake of me, remember how i had succeeded before installing usb drivers.
could you please help?
thx

PS: adb will not work if the phone is not booting to the OS
it will work if you manualy place the phone in fastboot AKA bootloader
MODE ,you see if it does not boot to OS then usb service is not working
use power + Volume up to enter the black menu
use the Volume up to select fastboot(bootloader) volume - to confirm
connect the phone to your PC
flash the boot.img, the same boot.img used to root (patched by magisk)
to see is adb is ok just run - fastboot devices
if a serial is presented then all other stuff should work
step 1 - reflash the boot img
step 2 - after the flash finishes - fastboot oem lock
message on the phone screen, confirm yes to lock
OEM
step 3- press power until it turns off
it should now complete the start up (boot)
if not working this method let me now
you can still flash the full factory firmware
using SP Flash Tool v5.17xx

dearphonedriller,
thank you so much for your speedy help.
followed the steps given by you. all is well, as you predicted, until step 3.
however:
phone (now without the "orange state" message, i.e. oem locked) still bootloops and short of ADB "fastboot devices" the desktop doesn't see the phone (and driver installation continues to fail), as per your PS (thanks!) i guess flashing the full factory firmware ("RC-mt6737...zip" quoted by you in your very first post) is next.
would you please point me to a basic-for-noobs tutorial or instruct me on the step-by-step commands/procedures using this zip file?!
HUGE thanks

everything worked perfectly via SPFlash Tool.
and, referring back to our above questions re the possibility of getting TWRP onto the phones, a developer friend of mine writes me this:

>2. Start Odin (Odin3 v3.12.3\Odin3.exe)
>3. Click on Options and unmark Auto Reboot
>4. Click AP and select twrp-3.2.1-0-Q8S55IN4G2-20180318.tar
>5. Press Start and wait until finished (Reset or OK!)
>6. Restart your phone immediatly to recovery mode
>7. In TWRP Recovery click on mount
>8. Set the checkbox checked at system (that system is mounted)
>9. go back and click on advanced
>10. Open file manager

>12. Click on chmod

i haven't tried this, but am wondering whether it might seem "reasonably possible" when reading through it.

Do you perhaps have link to Q8S5IN4GP stock rorm? Mine came with malware installed on it. I want to see if those were chinese who preinstalled or or was it decided by Auchan.

On my phone it came from factory and on the firmware file on 2 models , however only kasperky complains about malware on an system app called Helper bla bla bla i think its a false positive(i think) as no other antivirus or playstore ever found anything,but hey better investigate and be safe then sry right :good: maybe a ported cyanogen rom, ive look at a few rom port tutorials but my knowhow is limited + dont even have a working twrp yet, avg/avast/malwarebytes and a few others ,only kaspersky detects malware.

I had issues with adds being displayed at home screen and I was not able to close them. I had to use NetGuard to find that FOTA talks to 'adsup' and it is a known malware provider. I learned that some of the system apps try to talk with Alibaba servers and AdOppo (whatever it's called). Kaspersky might not be wrong, actually.
I'm trying to download stock firmware, but I don't know the file name. The website with it is locked, so unless I know exactly what I need, I cannot download it.

I guess the best thing would be a lineage or cyanogen ported rom(clean),ps i flashed the phone 2 times because of popups/adds and battery drain,however im aware that having root and installing tones of crasy stuff can fu.. Up any phone cheap or flagship,thus the firmware flashes,i discovered that having malwarebytes(premium)free for 30days keeps the phone clean and working fine,it seems that one is forced to buy from a main stream brand or risk this kind of thing,little to no support,no updates at all,bad security,the problem is certain apps if removed resoult in boot loop like this Helper app

Flashing is super easy use spflashtools or. Odin compiling a Rom is not , were you able to get the original firmware? You will need the original firware to get the boot and partition info from what i read so far
Unfortunately not. I will ask at the shop where I bought it how to contact tech. It should be freely available. I don't understand why Qilive restricted access to firmware.
I'll post when I learn anything.
Well, you can download the firmware if you know the file name. The bad news is, it seems the stock firmware has malware preinstalled. If there is anyone who could help confirm it. I have the ROM, and I can upload it to Google Drive if needed.
Hi all,
I'm coming back to a question lingering since the very first post here and mentioned again in post #9:
Is there a successful way to install TWRP on this Qilive model?
Re this topic:
- has anybody tried/has anybody been successful with the procedure described in post #9?
and
- has anybody seen the following TWRP builders' version (do an in-page search on Q8S55IN4G2)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/fr/downloads/twrp/
with the download belonging to it
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657591798
???
any successful installations to report???
Wouldn't THAT be great!!??
thanks

Hello,
This morning I turned off and on my phone (RN5 Global).
Now, If I try to start it, phone goes directly to Mi-Recovery 3.0 and, no matter how hard you try to restart, it always ends there.
More info:
- The phone is completely from stock. No root, no bootloader unlock, nothing.
- Mi-Recovery only let me Wipe All Data, so this would be an unfeasible option without first having recovered the data.
- My PC Suite does not recognize the phone.
- If I connect the mobile to the pc, 'adb devices' command says "sideload".
- If I try to make a backup by 'adb shell' it says "error: closed".
- I do not know if 'debug usb' is activated. I remember i activated it in the past, but I think that MIUI10 update deactivated it again.
- I can enter fastboot mode.
- I tried to open the phone, disconnect and connect the battery, but nothing has been fixed.
What can I do? My priorities now are:
1.- Recover the data (at least photos).
2.- Revive my phone.
Thank you.
Found this on MIUI, what do you think?

If your device is Redmi Note 5 from other country but India then it´s Whyred and this Forum is for Redmi 5 Plus/Redmi Note 5 (only India) that is Vince.
In the case I´m right and your device is Whyred (two rear cameras is a simple way to note it) then as far as I know you will need an EDL authorized account to flash a rom through MiFlash Tool.
Other tool that you can use is XiaomiFlash Tool by Francesco Tescari through Mi-Recovery but you will need too have enable USB debugging (maybe you have) but the same way you can flash a rom also you´ll lose all your data.
Adb shell works only in rooted devices, you can´t backup nothing in this state and fastboot mode is limited to just few commands like list device/reboot devices and nothing more in locked bootloaders.
In this scenario you have two things in order to solve this issue:
1- Highly probable loosing all your data.
- Doing format data through recovery and try to boot (data lost for sure)
- Flashing a rom through recovery with the mentioned tool (99% data lost probabilities)
- Flashing a rom through EDL; if you have Vince you can do it but if you have Whyred I don´t think so (if you choose second option "Flash without erase userdata" in MiFlash Tool I guess your data will be preserved)
2- If you enabled before USB debugging and binded your Mi account with device wait the time to unlock bootloader and maybe booting first of all in TWRP you can recover some data from your device, if you unlocked but first of all you boot on system for sure all your data will gone.
So what happened? Were you able to solve it? PLs share if you were...
I am also faced that situation.
When i tried to flash stock miui through fastboot it locked the bootloader and cant boot into rom then mi flash tool cant flash as boot loader is locked.
Worst part is in order flash another rom i need recovery, unable to reach developers option as rom not booting up.
Lost hope on the device
After all so many google searches and sleep less nights
I found application called mi pc suite china
Try to flash miui rom through mi pc suite mode
It says boot loader locked do you want to unlock
Finally it unlocked boot loader without booting into mobile.
In your case that will app will work. try it

how u solved your problem , i am stuck in same stage .. help please
I was stuck in Mi Recovery Mode 3.0 on my Mi Redmi Note 5.
Even after doing reboot to system, it wasn't going back to normal.
After scratching my head for a lot of time I decided to do the old school thing, i.e. REMOVING the SIM card and SD card and pressing the VOLUME DOWN + POWER KEY until the vibration occurred (NOTE: Mi logo will appear while you have pressed but keep the 2 buttons pressed until vibration occurred).

were any files deleted? and do you perhaps know if it would work on redmi note 7?
hello guys just look this video i solved it
Hi all,.
I also faced the same issue my redmi note 5 Pro which was on I believe MIUI 10 because it was never updated from the day it was purchased got stuck in bootloop and not getting ahead after recovery mode no matter how much time you reboot it was all working fine but some apps were updating such as youtube when this incident occurred I tried every solution like pressing keys pressing all three keys simultaneously or ADB method but none could work since the phone was locked also there was no USB debugging so adb method wouldn't work to also if an if ADB connected I couldn't flash because it will remove the data, in recovery mod you can see in option connect with MI Assistant but the Indian English version shown no connection so found one youtube video (channel name -" Ach Sharif ", video link-
which helped to install chinese version and and solved login issues I used Google translate translate to read the Chinese characters and understand what is going on I connected the device intending to take a backup backup but as no option was available I had to click on flash device so it downloaded upgraded recovery rom and automatically flash to MIUI 11 but still same problem then again I connected and upgraded to MIUI 12 and the phone was able to boot so the phone finally got fixed all data and all apps were intact and working as originally also all data of WhatsApp chats etc remained even the open apps at the time when problem happened were still present.
I believe guys this is the only solution to the problem because while flashing it replaces the recovery module of the rom which was corrupted earlier in my case when MIUi 12 installed not 11 I feel that it replaced recovery module due to update and it was able to work so please try once and I hope you get your files back, now lesson learned please do regular backups to live worry free life otherwise we will be spending time and energy here only.
I believe ADB methods or other methods won't work because they will flash and you won't be able to get data only flashing through recovery ROM not fastboot rom just like update package will be able to solve your problem if it is a software problem it will be can be fixed fixed this way only and saving data if it's a hardware problem such as power of all volume buttons are stucked you just get change and everything will be fine it happened in my other phone redmi Y2 so from speaking from experience thats all as I was going through trouble these things really help me so I thought to spend time in creating this guide please follow and I hope it will be solved.
You must open back cover( easily you can do it by hair dryer) and disconnect and connect again the battery, it will fix
