[ROOT] tutorial for root Bluboo S8 with TWRP - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

As promised, here is the tutorial to root the bluboo s8 with TWRP and even install alternative roms via TWRP.
As always, you do this at your own risk, I am not responsable in case of brick of your smartphones.
This way of installing TWRP is accurate and works with the version V11 of NEEDROM and V14 official ROM. I did not try with the classic factory ROM.
UPDATE 28 NOV 2017 : Added trick (in the procedure) to force the phone to keep TWRP and not restore the original recovery.
Step 1: Prepare your PC
First DON'T USE THE ORIGINAL BLUBOO USB CABLE. Use only a USB-C cable from another smartphone or a universal cable. and in a USB 2 plug. The original bluboo s8 cable does not work properly.
- Download the ROM V11 on NEEDROM : Official V11 ROM for Bluboo S8
- Decompress it and open scatter file with a text editor. Change value MT6755 with MT6750 if needed
- Download TWRP : Twrp version for bluboo s8
- Decompress it and rename recovery(1).zip to recovery.zip
- Delete the file mt6750_androidscatter.txt
- Edit the file MT6755_Android_scatter.txt and change the line "platform: MT6755" to "Platform: MT6750" and save it. Rename this file to MT6750_androidscatter.txt
- Download SP FLash Tools here : last version
- If it's not done yet, install the android drivers. (search on Google)
- Install ADB drivers and utilities in a directory /ADB (see google, they are everywhere)
- Download the latest supersu .zip here : SuperSU last version
Step 2, if needed : Install the ROM stock V11 20170815
- Put your Bluboo in developer mode: Go to "settings" then "About" and then click on "build version" several times.
- Enable USB debugging: In developer tools
- Now you have to turn off the smartphone
- Launch SPFlash tools then load the V11 ROM into it
- Go in upgrade mode, not in dowload mode (Dont choose format all ! ! ! ! !)
- Clic on Download button
- connect cable and Start bluboo s8
- After flash done, reboot smartphone
Once the rom is installed, pass it also in developer mode as already done previously.
(you can, if you want, make all OTA updates before doing the rest tutorial ..)
Step 3 : Install TWRP
note that with this method, you don't need to unlock the bootloader.
- Copy the file supersu.zip in the root of the smarpthone
- Launch SPFLASH TOOLS and put the modified MT6750_androidscatter.txt on it.
- Check that there is only "recovery" checked
- Make sure the recovery points to the recovery.img file of the TWRP folder
- SPFLASH Tools must be in "download only" mode
- Click on Download
- Open a command window and go to your ADB directory
- Type ADB DEVICES. (if needed, confirm in the bluboo screen)
- If all is ok, Prepare the command line: "ADB reboot recovery", but do not validate it
- Reboot the smartphone.
- Spflashtools will flash recovery with TWRP
(update of 28 nov here)
- After flashing the recovery, remove the USB cable, press volume- and reconnect the cable to reboot in android-test-mode (or After flashing the recovery, for first reboot, press VOL- and ON to go to the test page of the smartphone) to prevent the smartphone from loading the system and returning the original recovery.
When you are in the test page (a line with chinese caractere), type ADB REBOOT RECOVERY and TWRP is loading.. (works really all times)
- The phone reboot in recovery mode and TWRP appears. (The launch of TWRP can take a little time, do not panic)
- In TWRP, start installing superSU as usual.
- Once installed, reboot the smartphone (without installing utility, if it offers it)
- The phone restarts and is rooted 
- From now on, TWRP is really installed in recovery on your smartphone, so you can install custom roms with.
To go in recovery mode, go to adb and type "ADB Reboot Recovery". that else.
information :
I repeat: This method works without unblocking the bootloader.
Anyway, the vol + key does not work in fastboot mode with bluboo s8, so only a method without unlocking is possible. My method is adapted.

So step 4 can't be done normally!?! I mean without doing step 1 and 2 ?!? Besides I tried to unlock my bootloader, did everything correctly, but I got stuck on "CHOOSE VOLUME UP TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER in mobile screen "
Coz if I press volume up nothing happens?!? Only volume down work, that to cancels the whole process . Plz clarify and explain..

I have the same problem with the locked boot loader. I can't pres Vol Up , only Vol Down.

Personally I did not need to unlock the bootloader so ..
Technically, by following the tutorial in order, there is no need to unlock the boot loader. I know that only a few bluboo s8 have unlocked ok (with the line "unlock bootloader" active in "developer option" menu), all the others have the volume + which does not work.
Anyway the unlocking of the bootloader is not useful here. Do not forget that you must be in Rom v11 !
And the photo of my bluboo s8 with twrp :

Tested today, the leegoo s8 ROM ported, installed with TWRP and result is wondefull ....
Much better thought than the original rom of the bluboo, lighter .. Top!
This is screen capture of the phone state :

Hello fanfan7110,
apparently you're French, so am I. Are DRMs implemented in the Leagoo ROM? Do Molotov Tv and Mycanal applications work?
thank you

Hello,
I tried the tuto but it doesn't work. When I reboot in recovery, there's an android down with a red sign and it says no command. I tried several times and it's always the same...

When you get dead android press volume up+ power.The v.11 stockrom did notvwork for me.Spflashtool gave erfors.I found another stockrom from september on a russian site that worked.No need to adb reboot recovery descriebed here just do it with the phone turned on an you will get the dead android.Power + volume up gets you into twrp.

Hello,
Thank you for your answer, I'll try that as soon as I can.

After you root the device can we make update the roms to go back to V20 ? or we stuck on the V11 without the update . i try so many time to root and remove the initiator app to have the launcher i want ,without luck .

where did you find the roms ? can you copy the link here please ?

I have sent you a message with the link.
I installed Elephone rom ported for Bluboo s8.Its clean from adware and works better then the stockrom.Its not roted but thats easely done with twrp.

note that the bluboo s8 don't work well in USB 3.0. You need to use a USB 2.0 and a compatible Cable (not the official)

for those who do not manage to keep TWRP, I explained in the first step how to do it (you have to launch the command in ADB, to prevent it from rebooting completely.) If it reloads the system first, it replaces twrp)

if i can do it , you can do it too

I put my bluboo in the original rom to redo the procedure and check that everything works as expected.
I put my twrp back in again. But for those who can not flash the twrp and keep it, I added a solution at the end of the post.
This trick works because I did it live again a few seconds ago ..
It's your turn !

Hello,
I managed to install the TWRP recovery but the problem is that the phone always restarts in recovery! No way to start the system!
Do you have a solution for that?
Thank you

After flashing the recovery, remove the USB cable, press volume- (NOT VOL+) and reconnect the cable to reboot in android-test-mode[/B (a line with chinese caractere)] (or After flashing the recovery, for first reboot, press VOL- and ON to go to the test page of the smartphone) to prevent the smartphone from loading the system and returning the original recovery.
When you are in the test page (a line with chinese caractere), in the adb window type ADB REBOOT RECOVERY and TWRP is loading.. (works really all times)
- The phone reboot in recovery mode and TWRP appears. (The launch of TWRP can take a little time, do not panic)

Yes, I managed to do that. The phone restarted in recovery. I installed SuperSU, the phone to restarted normally on the ROM and it was well rooted. Then I wanted to reboot and since it reboot only in recovery, I can't reboot the ROM anymore.
---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------
It's finally good I did it all over again and now it works!
Thank you very much for this tuto

Bloqué twrp
Bonjour Fanfan, et meilleurs voeux pour 2018.
j'ecris en francais car j'ai du mal en anglais et j'ai vu que vous etiez francais.
Mon bluboo s8 reste bloqué sur twrp suite a une tentative de root avec un logiciel dedié.
Il ne veut pas booter apres flashage de la rom; impossible d'avancer; Auriez vous une piste ou une solution?
Merci de votre réponse.

Bonjour,
J'ai eu le même problème. Il faut reflasher la ROM stock avec Flastool pour que le téléphone redémarre normalement.
Ensuite il faut suivre exactement le tuto de fanfan7110 et pour moi ça a fini par fonctionner...

Allview P5 Qmax
Hi, anyone knows how to do root at Allview p5 Qmax? Thanks.
Hi all,
I have the Allview P6 stony myself. What I miss on this phone is the option to associate contacts to a SIM. I've been searching all over to find a solution for it. So far without luck. Thats too bad, because the quad version of the phone has this option integrated. I want to share my findings here, hoping anybody else can benefit from what I found so far.
This phone is sold all over the world with different names. The dual core version is know as:
Allview P6 Stony (Romania and the Netherlands)
Fly IQ 444 (Russian)
Blu Vivo 4.65 (american, has two versions based and band)
NGM We Move Legend XL (Italian)
There is also a Quad core version with jelly bean and the associate contact to SIM function ...
Gionee Dream D1 (Chinese)
Allview P6 Quad (Romania and the Netherlands)
Walton Primo X1 (Indian)
Nice detail: The Italian version has the function I need (associate contact to SIM, but I can't find it's ROM anywhere and their support department wouldn't give it to me)
As a new user I am not allowed to post links to the firmware I found so far but... :angel:
For the Fly IQ444 there is official and rooted firmware on 4pda.ru
with extension /forum/index.php?showtopic=415423
For the Allview P6 the firmware is on ther website allviewmobile dot com with extension com/fileadmin/p6_update/Allview_Update_P6_17012013.zip
For the Walton prima the firmware and update software is on some unknown site hellomobilecms.blogspot dot nl
with extension nl/2013/05/walton-android-primo-series-phone.html (google how to use...)
Now that I did my part in sharing.. I still have these questions.
Can I flash my dual core version of this phone with the quad core version firmware, or will that "brick"it?
Can anybody get his or her hands on the Italian firmware ?
Is there any other option to get this "associate contact to SIM" function working?
EDIT: The app "SIM selector" from th eplay store adds associate contact (number) to SIM functionality
How to add CWM recovery for Allview P6
Hi All,
I am still new to this, so perform at your own risk :laugh:
Here is my How to add CWM recovery to your Allview P6.
First I need to say some thanks
OP here on XDA for telling how to root the Allview P6
Hohol on 4PDA.ru He posted the CWM for the Fly IQ444, I only edited his work so it was compatible with the original Allview P6 update
michfood here on XDA for explaining how to edit a recovery image and provide the tools to make it easy.
Ok so I said my thanks, here we go (on your own risk)
Root your Allview P6 (but since you are reading this in as a reply to OP's post I guess you allready did that
Download and install Mobileuncle tools from the play store. Watch out here, this tool can make you flash the wrong boot image!! so follow my instructions carefully
Download the recovery image for Allview P6 I created based on Hohol's recovery for Fly IQ444. (attached to this post)
Put the recovery image on your SD card (not in a sub folder, directly in the SD card root)
Start mobile uncletools en go to Recovery Update
Select the recoveryalvw.img file en go ahead, flash it :silly:
The file should be the first option available, if not it's probably on the wrong location
Now if you reboot in recovery you will have CWM available for backups and flashing of ROMS (And yeah, only Roms I found I allready posted above)
With this option I wass able to
Backup my Allview P6 Rom and Data
Flash Hohol's IQ444 CWM rom on my Allview
Restore the original Allview P6 update from Allview's website
Final note: I don't have the original Allview P6 recovery image, so once this is done, you can't go back. But that only matters for your warrenty and you allready broke that by rooting your phone Actually restoring the Allview original update did also restore my recovery image to it's original AND it unrooted my phone. Nice for warranty...:angel: less nice for me here I go unrooting again :silly:
Extra final note: Now I only need the NGM We Move Legend XL rom so I can flash that on my Allview... anybody?
It works
I have solved the problem and now have CWM on my p6 quad
spit85 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So how did you solve it?
Do you want a other recovery on your phone, a other then the stock firmware.
You can use CWM or TWRP (TWRP is a full touch recovery)
Expand your internal memory from the phone to 2.5 GB
How to flash the recovery
You can use Mobileuncle MTK Tools, to download by Google Play Store
- Rename the downloaded recovery image to recovery and place it on the root from you sdcard-
- Start MobileUncle Tools (your phone must be rooted).
- Go to the tab recovery update.
- Now you will see the recovery.img file, chose it.
- It will prompt if you want to flash it, and after it will ask to reboot in recovery.
- now you have the flashed recovery on your phone
The other way is to flash it with SP Flash Tool (to download in the attachment files below " SP Flash Tool v3.1328.0.183.zip")
Download the attachment and unpack it.
- Open the program to double click on Flash_tool.exe
- Open the scatter file for you phone (the scatter file for the Allview p6 Quad is in the folder Allview; named "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT"). If don't have a scatter file, create one for you phone.
- now double click on "recovery" and select the downloaded recovery image.
- be sure you only selected the recovery check box, not the other check boxes.
- select download, but not "firmware->upgrade", because you will brick you phone. So only choose "download"
- now power down you phone and wait until it is fully shutdown, then connect your phone to your computer with the usb cable.
Note that you have first to install the adb drivers and the USB VCOM drivers, other wise you cant use SP Flash Tool.
You can download the drivers also in the attachment files ("SP_Flash_Tool_drivers.zip"), and i assume that you know how to install a driver on your computer.
The best way to install the drivers for your phone is the shutdown the phone and press the volume down button, hold it, and press the power button, until the phone go's on. You will see a screen with factory settings, ore something like that, but that doesn't matter. If you now connect your phone two your computer it will find to new devices. Use the drivers in the attachment file to install the drivers on your computer.
Do it on your one risk! I'm not responsible for any brick!
How to root the Allview P6 Quad
- Download the attachment "motochopper.zip" and unpack it.
- Enable usb debug mode on your phone and connect your phone to the computer.
- Click on "Run" in the unzipped folder and follow the instructions, and after that your phone is rooted.
If your phone reboots, you will see the superuser app from clockworkmod. Don't uninstall it and install a other superuser APK, because a other superuser app doesn't work, only the clockworkmod superuser app.
Another way is to use UnlockRoot. Download it here and chose the free version.
- First root your phone with motochopper, before you use UnlockRoot, otherwise it doesn't work.
- Install and open UnlockRoot.
- Connect your phone to your computer (with USB debug on).
- Click on "Root" and wait a moment, until there is a popup where you can choose your phone; choose it.
- UnlockRoot will say that your phone is already rooted, and if you want to root it again. Choose yes.
- After it is rooted you will be ask to install some other app, but you can refuse it, then your phone will reboot.
- After the phone is rebooted, open UnlockRoot again and click on "Unroot".
- Wait until your phone is unrooted.
- Uninstall the superuser app from clockworkmod
- Install SuperSu from Chainfire, download it in google play, here
- After your phone is unrooted and you installed SuperSu, open UnlockRoot again and choose "Root", and again there will be a popup where you can choose your phone; choose it.
- Follow the instructions, and after your phone reboots, your phone is rooted correctly, and you can also choose other superuser apps, but first uninstall always the old superuser app if you want to install another.
I have no idea why it must go this way, but that was the only way for me to root my phone right, so i can install SuperSu.
Edit: new CWM V6.0.3.2
I ported a newer CWM version from HBB (V6.0.3.2) to the Allview p6 quad, with some more futures in it:
- dual sdcard mounting
- install zip from sideload (ADB)
- partition sdcard and partition internal sdcard
If you want to give it a try, download attachment "CWM_V6.0.3.2_allview_p6_quad.img" and flash it to your phone.
Do it on your one risk! I'm not responsible for any brick!
Edit: TWRP V2.4.4.0 for p6 stony and p6 quad
I have ported TWRP V.2.4.4.0 (Team Win Recovery Project), for both models, the p6 quad and the p6 stony. But i haven't tested it for the p6 stony, because i only have a p6 quad. But Salvolin confirmed it works on his P6 Stony.
I'm also try to port TWRP V.2.5.0.0, but the recovery gets to big to flash, so i try to solve that to get a other layout with pictures in it that have not so much kb. At the moment SP Flash Tool cant make the recovery bigger if i edit the scatter file, then there is a strange error, so i have to wait of e newer version from SP Flash Tools. But for me TWRP is a good recovery, because its full touch.
You cant restore CWM backups with TWRP, or TWRP backups with CWM
The only way to convert your CWM recovery to a TWRP is:
- Flash CWM and restore the backup.
- Flash TWRP and backup
- Flash CWM and restore another backup
- Flash TWRP and backup.
If you have 10 backups from CWM, and you want them all converted to TWRP, you must flash a few times between the recovery's.
For the P6 Quad, download attachment "twrp_2.4.4.0.img"
For the P6 Stony, download attachment "TWRP_v2.4.4.0_Allview_p6_stony.img"
Do it on your one risk! I'm not responsible for any brick!
How to expand the internal Storage to 2.5 Gb for the Allview P6 Quad.
This patch is only for the Allview P6 Quad, not the Stony.
First you make a backup from your phone with CWM or TWRP.
Download the attachments 'Allview_P6_Quad_2.5GB_internal.zip' and unzip it. Load the scatter file in Sp Flashtool. If everything is correct, you only see EBR1 and EBR2 selected.
Then hit the Download button, not the firmware upgrade button! If you download it to the phone, go into the recovery and do a factory reset.
Now you can place your backup back and reboot your phone. Now you have a 2.5 GB internal partition, instead a 1 GB partition.
The internal SD is now 300 MB.

Thanks this worked for my A500KL!
Thank you! I had my zenfone 5 A500KL bricked for almost half a year.
This is what i did
in windows 10 --->
cmd
c:/adb
adb devices
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname(in my case it was ZenFone5LTEStock.img "From this thread" )
Then I got a message in cmd. It said Waiting for phone.
So I pressed down power + volume up. The phone was detected by my PC and the command finally ran.
Next I pressed down power + volume up again and the recovery mode menu finally showed up again!
From there just wiped cache, wiped system, install rom from sd.
Thanks everyone!!!

This should work for you. I'm running stock with the same Firmware version. Sorry it's taken me so long to jump back into this tread. Was using a Moto for a while. I like this phone so much more, but with all the stock Asus crap you can barely have any apps. Going to re-root and get rid of some of the bloatware.

Unrar the rar. Run “adb-setup.exe”. Hit “Y” to all 3 questions.
3) Tap on Settings --> About phone --> Tap Build number seven times.
Developer options --> OEM unlocking enabled and USB debugging enabled.
4) Download SuperSU.zip and BusyBox.zip at the next link :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/g4hubpximcn2g1b/LAST_SU-BU.rar

11) Reboot in normal mode (be patient, when you unlock the bootloader, the phone reset to factory).
12) Now tap 7 times on Build number. Then Developer options, and re-enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
STEPS TO DO EVERY TIME YOU NEED TWRP RECOVERY :
13) Copy the TWRP (recovery.img) into the same folder of fastboot.exe and adb.exe ( c:\adb\ ).
14) Connect your phone to the PC via USB cable.
15) Open CMD (command prompt) and type the next command :
adb reboot bootloader (and press enter)
16) Now type the next command :
fastboot boot c:\adb\recovery.img (and press enter)
17) Onto TWRP, if asking you to swipe to allow modification of System, tap KEEP READ ONLY.
18) Now - the most important thing - tap on Backup.
19) Check mark on Nvram, Boot, System and Data.
20) Tap on Select Storage, tap on MicroSDCard, tap on OK.
21) Tap Swipe to Backup.
22) Return to the main menù of TWRP.

30) Download an app like "Root Check" or similar, to verify if phone is rooted.
is there a stock recovery available that i can flash in case i want to reset my phone or pull ota updates without flashing any zip files? i think the ota.zip that vernee released does not include a recovery, does it?
EDIT: there might be a possibility to extract recovery.img from the phone over adb. the problem is that you need to be rooted to do this but i am not, so i will leave a link down below. could someone who rooted his apollo try to get the recovery.img ?

You are right. There is no recovery.img inside the OTA update zip
I have made a custom recovery by myself. The pictures are the proof that my twrp works well.
This twrp method does not affect the original stock recovery.
Before to start the twrp by Fastboot, make sure you have installed the OTA 201701 update zip onto your Apollo.
Hello, the method works very well ....
Thank you very much :laugh:
Hello, Cleopatra
Just a couple of questions....
1.- In this TWRP "instalation" you ask adb to boot from an image is not in the telephone but in your PC? (Please, confirm)
2.- Instad using SuperSu for root, can Magisk take its place? Magisk seems to be a very promisory system.
Thank you very much. I do not have my piedce already to check myself. That is the reason of item 2.-

Your first question :
Fastboot to boot the recovery.img (TWRP) inside your PC. I confirm it.
Your second question :
Regarding Magisk, please keep in mind that you need also "phh's SuperUser" and "xposed-v87.0-sdk23-topjohnwu.zip".
Very soon I will have the Vernee Apollo in my hands to do all kinds of tests without asking anyone to be the test case.
The first most important target is to make a stock firmware flashable by SP Flash Tool.
The second most important target is to make a twrp flashable by SP Flash Tool.

We are in the same situation...

I see you on 4pda.
1) "volume plus" + "power" simultaneously.
2) select the first line with "volume plus".
3) press "volume minus" to enter into recovery.
I suggest you to install "Quick Reboot (Root)" apk to enter more quickly into recovery mode.

WHAT ??? 40 minutes to make a backup ???
WAIT please ! Probably you are doing it wrong.
Questions :
1) Do you have selected ONLY Nvram, Boot, System and Data ?
2) What kind of microSD are you using ? Speed class 6 or speed class 10 ?

Rollback protection
FAQ
Q: Can i use this recovery with other firmware then mentioned in compatibility?
A: Only with same Android version and only if you don't plan to boot rooted with TWRP (some kernels deliver root prebuilt in kernel), or Rollback protection will kick in and you won't be able to pass the lockscreen.
Q: Where do i get vbmeta.img?
A: From here, download the one you need according to install instructions.
Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?
A: Make sure you formatted data partition.
Q: Phone is not booting even after 20 minutes
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, make sure you flashed multidisabler zip / formatted data partition.
Q: How to format data partition?
A:
Q: Phone is showing only Samsung logo
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, consider installing an older TWRP build or a more recent firmware. If you still don't succeed, post here some details about your device and previous firmware and we might be able to help.
Q: Why do i need to format data partition?
A: Because old firmware encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.
official builds will be up in few hours
Nice, congrats!
Hi, i'm getting the Note 10 soon & remember when i've tested the S10 months ago that i had trouble with twrp encryption/decryption : can you confirm after wiping data that you can encrypt it (system) and twrp will be able to decrypt it after you enter your pattern..? Thanks.
Android 11 TWRP is up already for a while, in case you didn't notice it yet grab it from twrp.me.
Don't forget to use targeted TWRP for your android version and release, read more about compatibility in second post of this thread.
PS: N971N does not have a build compatible with OneUI 3.0 since no public release of that yet, it will be built once samsung starts pushing the update for that phone.
Regards!

So it messed up totally in my case ; and i reverted back
So Help me how did you managed?!

Just follow the instructions!
It seems that you have selected "repartition" option (in odin options),
You can find the solution easly. Maybe installing the stock Rom helps, but plz search for the solution before doing any further actions

You can find the solution easly. Maybe installing the stock Rom helps, but plz search for the solution before doing any further actions

How To Guide Flashing ColorOs 12 on Oppo reno6 5G CPH2251

Hey Guys,
Many users downgraded their ColorOs12 to ColorOs11.3 on oppo reno6 5G device due to many bugs on it, they want to install ColorOs12 but they are not getting OTA update, they are wandering how can they install ColorOs 12 back on their phone, So, here I have come up with a method to directly flash ColorOS12.
Note: Data will(or might) be erased in this method so please take backup of you data on phone.
This has been tested on Indian version, I am not sure if it will work for other countries.
I strongly recommend to take full firmware backup using method below before proceeding
Backup full firmware(ROM) of any MediaTek device using MTK client| Oppo reno6 5G | MT6877
Hello Guys, Many times we encounter a situation where we need to do some software update, flash custom ROM, install stock ROM etc, so it is advisable to take full firmware/ROM backup of your device. If required then you can flash this backup to...
forum.xda-developers.com
Step1: Pre-requisite -Installing required drivers and setup
From link below download drivers and setup.
Install mediatek driver.
Install python (during installation of python please select "install for all user" from customization and tick add path to system variable)
install usbdk.
download extarct Mtk client tool.
go to folder where you extract mtk client
View attachment 5541629
open cmd here and run below command
cd mtkclient
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
In default setting it takes 2 hour to flash but after change it takes 13 min. If you want to increase flashing speed then open mtk_daxflash.py file from library folder, search "dsize = min(length, 0x200)" and replace it with "dsize = min(length, 0x2004)" , save and close the file.
You need to close command prompt in order to take effect of change.

While flashing it will dump the preloader, this file is very important so, please keep this file safely. this file may require in future.
View attachment 5541661
Step4: Boot the phone
Once flashing completed, press vol up + power button together for 30 sec. Wait for device to boot.
Step5: Flashing the preloader.bin (only if required)
In case, even after flashing completed successfully but some time device does not boot, only black screen, no charging sign either then don't panic, device has entered into emergency download mode, if you face the same then it's time to flash preloader.bin file. Follow below steps
1) download SP flash tool specific version v5.2148. (https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool)
2) download attached preloader.bin, scatter file and auth file from link below and place all these files at same folder.
MT6877_flashing_preloader.zip
drive.google.com
3) open sp flash tool, select download agent files from mtk folder as shown on image and load scater file and auth files respectively.

4) In cmd run command "python mtk payload". Now press and hold vol+ vol- or all the buttons together, it should show payload sent successfully.
5) Now in sp flash tool click on Download button, it should flash the preloader successfully.
6) once preloader is flash successfully you can turn on the phone by pressing vol+ and power button together for 20 sec. If attached preloader does't flash then you can try flashing your device backup preloader.bin created/shown on step3.
so by this way we directly flashed ColorOS 12 on oppo reno6 5G.
Tips: If due to some reason flashing did not completed successfully then please press vol up and power button together for 30-40 sec to boot the phone (exit the brom mode).
Disclaimer: I have tested this method on my phone, it's 100% working but I will not responsible if damage any damage happens to your device while doing this. So do it at your own risk.
thanx nand for helping me in upgrading to coloros 12 again,this process worked successfully.

Sorry. Try to better explain: I have a Vodafone branded reno 6 that accept any sim card. I only want to remove Vodafone branding (boot logo and custom app that are present only in branded phone).
Yes, you can try. I recommend you to take full firmware backup before doing this as explained in guide.

Unfortunatly COS12 in my opinion Is very laggy. I'm trying tio rollback to COS11 but, after flashing using your guide, the phone do not boot anymore. So I have to go back to 12. It's only my experience on COS12?
Hi, for many peoples, Color os12 was not laggy but have some bugs like battery draining etc.
For your device is not booting on color 11 then you have to flash preloader using Sp flash tool version v5.2148
Thanks Nand, allways ready to answer, thanks! Can please explain how to flash preloader with SP flash tool please? I have preloader from backup. Thanks again for your support.
