Hello,
I just managed to generate TWRP recovery for S912 Android 9 version, you can install the official TWRP app to flash with in the ROM.
But after reboot the ROM goes back to stock recovery, so for now i am installing everytime i need to use recovery, unless i am able to find a permanent solution.
Link to TWRP
Suggestions welcome if you have for keeping the recovery persistent.
Regards
I was able to keep it persistent but if I go to install all I get for folder names is a mess. Using Superceleron's generic SC normal pie rom. Appeared to install magisk but magisk manager didn't see it and I lost superuser access so I had to reflash rom. I hope you or others can pick up on TWRP for this. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge so can only test. Liking the Superceleron rom on my T95Z(2/16) much better than poison or stock (so far... still testing...). Glad to see these old devices getting some new love. Hopefully it will continue.

Jumbled charcters is because the ROM is encrypted and this recoveery is not able to decrypt it.
Bumping this, going to test this on Aidans rom
Update: could not confirm if it works it looks like the reset button is not mapped on Aidans rom. The weird thing is it works if I use the USB burn tool but not when I do a regular boot.

Do you mean we can flash using amlogic usb burning tool, I am now struggling to install this ROM on khadas 64 android 9 ROM by Highway star
Hi @eagledipesh!
I managed to install your TWRP successfully on Aidan's ROM, thank you very much!
First I unpacked the Aidan' ROM with the Customizatio Tool, then I replaced the original recovery with your TWRP. I repackaged the ROM and flashed it with the AMLogic USB Burning Tool.
With TWRP and I did a full backup and I was also able to restore without errors. However, after restoring and booting the system, it gets stuck on AndroidTV splash screen.
Maybe I need to port the correct TWRP, because when unpacking your recovery with AIK, I saw in one of the files that the model is gxm_q201_2g, but my Android Box is gxm_q200_3g.
1. What base TWRP did you use to create your TWRP?
2. I tried porting TWRP myself from Aidan's ROM recovery, I can even get into recovery, but the letters are all scrambled. Can you help me make my own port?

I used one of the twrp port guides, twrp was stock one, with stock recovery extracted from initial Android 9 builds by Highway star'
You can use the official twrp as base and then recovery from any of rom for your device

Are you talking about the Wiko Highway Star? Any special reason for using this ROM as a base? How do I know which version of TWRP to use?
i create a twrp for my amlogic T972 but can't boot into it, don't know where to start fix bug
Can you help me build a twrp for this? Or can you teach me do that? Thank you @eagledipesh
Is there now a working TWRP for the Yoka KB2 Pro 3gb on Android 9.0? I would prefer to have an img file, but if there is really no other way, I would also take the zip version.
Thank you and best regards

Hi Bro,
i have sc7731c (karbonn titanium 3D Plex ) device too. and i have tried many available img but none of them worked this would be because these devices are new and there no suitable recovery available simply because people have not made any till now..
There is many programs that allows u to create a new custom recovery if there is no recovery is available for your device try to goggle it.
On windows, philz magic touch recovery tool, android kitchen recovery image unpacker and so on.
Can i make you custom recovery using your stock image if you're too lazy
as i said above i have been trying to flash online available recoveries and accidentally flashed my stock u could help me out this
can u provide me you stock recovery image file ?
@Maucurezo
Hey dude! Im a pinoy. Im running with my STARMOBILE PLAY CLICK. As same as yours. Im running on the same Spreadtrum SC7731C and I flashed a Custom Recovery but it would only bring me to bootload. I kept finding solutions to get my Stock recovery but failed. We have the same Problem. I need the Custom recovery too. Help us admins
You can try and do it yourself. Porting TWRP and CWM to a new device. You'll need the stock rom for your device or simply make an image "dump" of the system files (boot.img, etc) via adb. Goodluck.
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 you phone (DO NOT CHEAT PLZ)
ps:wen 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 run 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-your device has to be in USB MTP mode
5-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
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 tool, a great ty to them :highfive:
ps: at the start i did NOT have root, the success flashing the ported twrp recovery
was followed bi the installation of the magisk15.3.zip and voila twrp+root
any one help me i port twrp using adb but after i flash my twrp upside down on sc7731ceb it works fine but the twrp upside down any help me

humm,.. as far as i now adb does not port recovery image´s you mean you found an image for sc7731?? phone and there are at least 4 or 5 variations of the sc7731 board and you
flashed it on your phone, by shear luck you did not soft-brick or brick your phone and it actualy Works, :cyclops:
you need to search Google/xda/hovatek site for your brand and model´s stock recovery or even better your custom recovery
or as an alternative your stock ROM/FIRMWARE and then extract the stock recovery from ROM/FIRM port it and flash it
im prety shure someone out there has a phone like your´s and you can , when you find it download the stock recovery - the custom recovery - or the ROM/FIRMWARE file
the hovatek site has a great auto port tool all you need is your stock recovery follow the vídeo simple steps and flash it now that you have root just use
twrp oficial app to flash it ,se my tutorial above it will be easy once you have the stock recovery or rom/firmware
i have a 50 buck cheap phone wierd brand,it took me several days to find the stock rom/firmware once i did all worked just fine no strange stuff
hovetek site also has a lot of rom´s/firmware files for many brands and model´s , again search Google/xda/hovatek for your model + stock recovery or recovery.img, custom recovery.
good luck

it might not have loaded because it was maybe an updated twrp eith an old preloader, try flashing an older twrp or update preloader

Hi,
I'm unsure if this method will work for you, but I also had "preloader Error message" in FlashTools trying to flash TWRP in Stock Rom 2016810 while trying to flash the Eragon ROM.
As the Stock ROM you are using (20171201) is kinda newer than stock 2016810 Im kinda assuming it should work the same.
In order for it to flash without errors, I did the following and worked fine :
Use FlashTools ver v5.1612 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424940027
Download your stock rom 20171201
https://mega.nz/#!atZAyKxb!i6jpNQNR_VZZ3nS79LhL2xi78WHx7XI4gKFllc8 RJKw
Then download TWRP_3.0.2.8.zip here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24727369092696060
Unzip all and and copy the "MT6755_Android_scatter" & "recovery.img" from TWRP_3.0.2.8 folder into the Elephone_P9000_20170112 Rom folder.
Then open Flash Tools - add the scatter file from the Elephone_P9000_20170112 Rom folder
Untick everything in flashtools except the recovery and then try to flash, hopefully it will work for you too. without errors '

Hi, I think this maybe to do with the new preloader etc..
I read this in the thread for TWRP for Elephone P9000 3.0.2-8:
1. load scatter.txt in earlier post.
2. select preloader, lk and boot imgs, location of these from the stock 20160810 ROM.
3. select recovery, location of TWRP img.
4. unselect everything else.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/el...hone-p9000-t3426678/post70713618#post70713618
So maybe Unzip the 20171201 Rom, copy TWRP scatter & recovery.img to this folder, open flash tools and select recovery and point to recovery.img
But also select preloader, lk and boot img (double check they are pointing to corresponding files from the 20171201 ROM
Again, I am unsure if that will work but as I noticed the above post in the TWRP thread, thought it maybe relevant to your issue
PS: Windows 10 can be awkward with splash tools at times, I have windows 10 but in order for it to work - I have to press the Download in SplashTools, kinda count to 5, then hold vol + and then attach USB to my phone and it works fine
If your device already rooted, you can also install flashyfi and flash the .img file.

I've wasted countless hours trying to get spf to work with my windows 10 machine. Your solution worked like a charm, the flashing was successful (managed to get the process to work when before I was getting only preloader errors), however I still don't have twrp but the standard android recovery. Have you got any other solution that I should try? Cheers.

Have you tried pressing power and then keep finger pressed on vol up to go straight to TWRP recovery and then flashing a new ROM in TWRP ?
I didn't do that as I didn't have another rom saved in my phone. What I eventually managed to do was flash the official nougat via spf tool. I'm saying eventually because this piece of crap windows 10 didn't want to make the connection even with the volume up button. When I was going to give up and order a new phone, it connected and now I am happy even though I don't have twrp nor root, but not going to risk it again. Thanks again for your help though, greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
I had Lineage 14.1 ROM on my Nexus 9.
I wanted to use Xposed framework for a project which does not work with 7.0+.
Hence I want to go back to 6.0 ROM.
I have tried 3 different 6.0 ROMs so far, all of which resulted in bootloop.
Just now I flashed 14.1 Lineage OS again and it boots up just fine.
Can anybody tell me what I'm missing here? I'm using TWRP recovery 3.1.1-0

Gotta wipe everything, including internal storage, factory reset. Also the vendor and bootloader for 6.0

If you are going back to 6 with a custom ROM, you also need to flash the vendor image from that version of Android as well. Just download the factory image of 6.0 from Google's factory image page, then extract the zip, then extract the zip that's in there. In those files will be a vendor.img. put it in the tablet somewhere you can find it (like download folder) or on USB stick or wherever you're putting the ROM zip you're flashing. When flashing ROM and gapps also install vendor image to vendor partition. TWRP has the option to flash image files.
This is something needed on 64 bit Android devices.
Bootloader has to be installed with fastboot, but come to think, I don't think you have to downgrade bootloader. Pretty sure having the newer bootloader is fine. Vendor should match the version of Android you're using though.

Here is the last version at the moment of the Maze alpha ROM (tested only in 4GB version)
It's a complete ROM, not an OTA update, it can be flashed using the provided TWRP 3.2.1 version, I ported from a Jemmini (many thanks) version for Bluboo S1.
Unfortunately, the TWRP cannot be flashed (issue with the touch panel), only launched by fastboot.
The ROM is the same as the v8 official one except that it is rooted using Magisk 15.2 and busybox 1.27.2 (thanks to osm0sis) is installed in /system/xbin
There is also a SPFlashTool clean version of this ROM, useful in case of troubles (as official: no root, no busybox)
1- Reboot you phone in fastboot mode : adb reboot bootloader
2- Flash the provided TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery_maze_alpha_4G_twrp-321.img
3- Reboot to TWRP recovery
4- copy in your SDCARD and install, in the running TWRP, the downloaded ROM V09 : Maze_Alpha_4GB_v09_TWRP.zip
The first boot take some minutes so be patient.
Here the SPFlashTool versions :

Yes i know its sad, i did a backup of mine and root it but it didnt work the backup i had to do clean flash, if we can manage to have a twrp and a source of the stock roms we could make a deabloat and put update apps ( menssages, calendar etc) and put mods for awsome features i dont see RR or lineage putting thier hands on this phone
Thanks for this Rom.

No it is already rooted.
Reboot your phone to android, and then install MagsikManager.apk
I am editing my post to give you a 100% working TWRP 3.2.1 for our beloved Maze Alpha 4G :victory:
thank you
After I installed this rom, and freezed the hot knot, baidu_location FM Radio, etc, the BT connection did not break.

Hi dreambo,
do You know if there's a stock rom for download from maze alpha x? I think it's important for normal users and developers to get one. For normal users it's important to have an option to reinstall stock version and for developers I think it's the source for custom roms (e.g. Lineage Os).
If You know a source, can You please give us a link?

No I not have any source, I am just a simple user like any other.
If I have any source or if I can make a ROM for MAZE Alpha X, I will do it and I will share it with every body, as I do until now for the MAZE Alpha 4/64
Hi
Sorry for stupid question, but is flashing with SP Flashtool an option to get root without wiping all data (unlike all other methods involving bootloader unlocking)?

Unfortunatly no. As you will see repeated times in the forum, people have issue with phone not booting after changing from stock recovery to twrp. This is do (most likely from) to verified boot setting. And by unlocking bootloader we can bypass verified boot. So without unlock you might get a successfull load into twrp, but android will not boot.
Hello to all and please help if you can.
After unlocking the bootloader and flash the rom I'v got orange state with bootloop. Then after trying to fix it (wrong way) and relock bootloader and got red state with bootloop. I read that flahing back to stock fix the problem but I have no success with the rom provided in this post, the v5 from maze, the latest flash tool and the maze alpha flash tool... in all cases I get DA error(maze flash tool) or DA MISHMATCH (sp flash tool). I also tried different pc and cable with no result and finaly can't get fastboot. If that helps I've got the same flash tool error before the procedure. Every help will be appreciated.

First unlock again your bootloader and use fastboot to flash boot, recovery and system partitions:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img.
Those partition images can be found in the ROM for SPFlashTool I have provide.
After that you can boot android normally.
If you any TWRP backup, you can restore it after flashing the TWRP.
Thanks a lot for your reply....
the problem is that i cant boot into fastboot to unlock bootloader....
the phone bootloops all the time, shows the red state alert and even with vol+ pressed the menu to choose recovery or fastboot doesn't apear... thanks again.

Is there any way to unlock the bootloader in my situation or/and enter the fastboot mode in order to follow your steps... thanks.
Hello! i have used the search tool to see if there is a custom recovery for my device but i am unable to find any. I found TB-X103F custom twrp but im unsure about trying it!.
I may be rather early as this tablet only recently came out.
Lenovo X 104F- 1 GB RAM
I own the same tablet , found also a solution to root it . Just to try other Custom ROMs you do not need to root it ....it is project TREBLE compatible ! This means that you can , with fastboot and ADB , install various GSI images )
ATTENTION : this method does not allow you to go back easily to the factory ROM !!! If you wish to do so, you need to root your Tab and make a full backup with one of the solutions described here in XDA ! Titanium or so .
I have installed Lineage 15 (Oreo 8) on my device and it runs without any problem ......Custom ROMs based on Pie make still some issues ! Be aware , that for one or other reason on my tablet i can install only ROM that is less than 1 GB after unzip !!!

Care to share any links?
Since Lenovo/Motorola added our E10 / TB-X104F to the recovery tool I decided to play around with hacking apart this awesome and terrible table. Long-story-short... you can unlock it using the normal FASTBOOT commands. A MAGISK modified BOOT.IMG does work which gave me full root access to the tablet. If people are interested I'll write up a guide... but a little bit of research on MAGISK and grabbing the Lenovo recovery tool will be your first step if starting from scratch.
Next step is getting a recovery image. I'm currently looking into getting this tablet into the TWRP BUILDER queue, but at the time of this writing their queue is full.
UPDATE: Just saw the TWRP BUILDER team has had everything on hold for over a month now. Guess I'll need to see about building this locally in my free time.

I can attest to this, I flashed the last Resurrection Remix Oreo GSI (12/21/18) and a (Magisk) rooted kernal I got from firmware (Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant). And so far everything seems to be working fine.
So I also flashed resurrection remix pie gsi... it works as well... only thing is it doesn't come with gapps... and without twrp i can't flash a gapps package. The resurrection remix I used was the final oreo build... zt has gapps pre-installed... you have to register the device with google because it is not certified... but after that everything seem good. One thing to mention is both the oreo and pie builds are "go edition" so some features are missing because of that... one in particular I noticed is notification access for 3rd party apps... go edition devices don't have that feature
Do either of you all have a step-by-step guide to rooting the device and installing either the Lineage or RR ROM?
Also, what works and what doesn't on the tablet afterwards?

Use Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant to repair your tablet (you wont actually repair tablet, just using to get firmware)
Follow steps to get to download the firmware (it will save to ProgramData folder, its hidden folder... in widows anyway)
Take the boot image (boot.img) from firmware folder and transfer to storage on tablet
Instal magisk manager and use to patch the boot image you transfered from computer
Transfer patched boot image back to computer
Download the latest oreo gsi for resurrection remix or lineage
Use fastboot to unlock bootloader
Use fast boot to flash gsi
Use fastboot to flash patched boot image
Google anything you need help with...
I used the resurrection remix oreo also because there is a build that has gapps pre-installed... the pie version works but doesn't have gapps pre-installed and without twrp I couldn't find a way to install them
After tablet boots up install magisk manager and you will be rooted
You will need to register your device with google because it will not be certified... that was a pain to get done even though the process is pretty straight forward
So far only "issues" I have encountered are not actually issues they are due to the fact that the resurrection remix gsi is android "go edition" I haventr tried lineage because I like the customization options that resurrection remix offers
Here is the magisk patched boot image I made so you can skip that part...
https://www.mediafire.com/download/x4d3xp8w3e8bw3g
Just to confirm the sequence of events (and thank you for the magisk-altered file):
1. Move magisk-modified boot image to the tablet.
2. Download latest version of Lineage OS or RR; move that file to the tablet as well
3. DL magisk manager APK and move that to the tablet as well
3. Boot the tablet into Bootloader and flash the new OS file first
fastboot flash recovery file.img
4. Then flash the boot.img altered by magisk
fastboot flash recovery boot.img
5. Reboot the tablet (will it load with the new ROM?)
6. Install magisk manager
Questions on the flashing:
A: Do you flash the .img and the ROM through fastboot shell command on your computer or do you install them in recovery mode?

So you want all files on the computer at first...
When you unlock bootloader it will wipe the tablet.
Flash the the gsi image then the magisk patched boot image using fastboot (there are instructions on xda regarding flashining gsi... you have to wipe system before flashing)
After tablet reboots to resurrection remix move the magisk manager apk to the tablet and install it... open magisk manager and you should have magisk installed giving you root and so much more.
Before you attempt this make sure you familiarize yourself with all the steps... search google/xda.
Also... I will say this... I tried to just root the tablet first but it wouldn't boot after so I tried to fix it using the Lenove tool and it failed... flashing the resurrection remix gsi with the patched boot image saved me from a lot of headache and wasted time... I would prefer if it was not a "go edition" rom but its still better than stock.
Sorry, more follow-up questions:
1. My bootloader is unlocked. It did not wipe the device (I used the "developer options" in the "Settings" menu to do it. Fastboot indicates the bootloader is unlocked. Do I need to redo unlocking the bootloader? For what it's worth, all my attempts to flash everything with my presumably unlocked bootloader have been unsuccessful.
2. Where did you find a .gsi of Lineage OS 15 for the Lenovo TB-X104F? I cannot find one.
Thanks

Make sure you fastboot flash unlock and fastboot flash unlock_critical. Just look an here for the links for lineage gsi. It flashes just fine and is super easy. I have resurrection remix on my 104f. I'm trying to compile twrp for it right now but hard to do with kids lol also if you use the lenovo tool you can download the recovery files which has boot recovery and all that in it and you can use magisk to patch the boot.ing and then copy that to the Lenovo tool and replace the stock boot img then recover it and you now have a working patched boot.img. I went through the same thing
Any Luck?
Any luck with that twrp? I'm willing to test it out...
Would like to be able to use the resurrection remix pie rom with gapps. So I can hopefully give some helpful feedback... one warning I am an amateur at anything beyond using fastboot and some adb commands, but I can learn pretty quick if i have the time to spend...
Another warning I have a sub-par windows pc to work with (and its the wife's) it prob can't run Linux in VM.
Disable "go edition" in Resurrection Remix Oreo
Using root explorer...
Navigate to /system
Copy build.prop to internal storage
Navigate to where you saved copy of build.prop
Edit build.prop that you copied to internal storage...
Find ro.config.low_ram=true and change to ro.config.low_ram=false
Save and exit file
Copy edited build.prop back to /system (make backup of original and overwrite with edited one)
Set permissions to owner read write (rw-------)
Navigate to /sbin/.magisk/mirror/system
Copy build.prop to internal storage
Navigate to where you saved copy of build.prop
Edit build.prop that you copied to internal storage...
Find ro.config.low_ram=true and change to ro.config.low_ram=false
Save and exit file
Copy edited build.prop back to /sbin/.magisk/mirror/system (make backup of original and overwrite with edited one)
Set permissions to owner read write (rw-------)
Reboot
This allowed me to set notification access again (its disabled in "go edition")
Hey guys, I'm trying to follow the steps in this thread to install Resurrection Remix Pie on the tablet using fastboot but whenever I try to flash a ROM to the system partition I get a (remote: size too large) error.. Does anyone know why this could be? I've tried using flags like -S, I've wiped the partitions and I don't know what else I can try. I have tried with Lineage, AOSiP and RR GSIs.
Thanks.
I cant get this to work.. What version of RR or Lineage OS works with tb-x104f?
up..................
I got the final version of rr oreo running fine... no luck with the latest rr pie unfortunately...
Anyone know if this is an A or AB device?
