Thanks for the post. This run great but I've upgraded and been running Havoc OS 3 GSI (Android 10) for a week now great results (same caveats as above apply).

Hi, thank you if it wasn't for you i would've never been able to install twrp. However, i've got some questions. Do you recommend installing GSI 3.0 ROM? Does it really increases SD855 overall performance? How do i install this rom, Magisk and the gapps all in one, if it wipes all the data and has no micro sd slot, do the flash files get wiped too?

Nope, no performance increase if you go GSI ... but you do lose the fingerprint reader
I do it for novelty, consistency (to maintain OS experience across devices), and security rather than performance. In most cases going to newer OS means you slow down. But personally I don't find 340k++ on Antutu to be slow so I am OK with that. As a bonus, gcam 7.x actually works for me on Android 10 but not on default global ROM.
So to get going with that, what I use to salvage all my files is a USB-C to SD OTG adapter and I store all files there.
Important --> do full TWRP back up of all partitions with OTG USB as storage for it. Better safe than sorry.
Then I flash GSI IMG file to system image partition, resize system, flash nano gapps, then format data and finally reboot.
After the first successful boot I go back to TWRP and flash Magisk from there. All set to go.
Going back is simply a matter of restoring the System + Boot backup and formatting data. Note, this will replace recovery so you need to fastboot and reinstall it.
Rinse and repeat for any other.
If you want performance increase you need to do full ZUI 10.5 flash via EDL recovery .. which I am still hesitant to do since it's not clear to me if bootloader will remain unlocked and if I can still do GSI after the fact.

Ok, thanks for the advice! I would have to think it for a while before doing it. One last thing, the tutorial says that i have to deactivate DMverity or something, since i have the newer version of twrp, i can't find that option, is it still necesary? am i getting a bootloop by installing any unsigned rom? how do i avoid it? Thanks again. :laugh:
Thank's.
I use this ROM.
What do you do about the proximity sensor? In call, if I want to end the call or open the "in call UI", I need to open the slider, and after that press on the power butten
Also, internal storage show only 32gb, how I can access all the memory?

The bootloader will remain unlocked. Good rom. Use 10.5 cn as daily driver (with every chinese app debloated)
Btw if you use an app like MoreLocale2 and use the ADB code the app gives you, you can change the kanguage of the phone in Zui. I used this app to change the language (for a big part) to Dutch.

I only played with going from shipping ROM to Havoc/GSI and back (ie. no EDL/QPST flashing), so depending where you're coming from YMMV. You have to at least factory reset or maybe even fully wipe the device. Start with factory reset and try, but I think you may have to fully wipe internal storage because of encryption. Make sure you move your backups and any other files off internal storage to OTG USB storage before you wipe/format.

Thanks for trying!
I tried it as well today, but still the same issues, i could control the playback with my headset (1more and libratone) but i could not hear the music.
Maybe a future update can solve the issue
installed havoc 2.9
nfc fixed with magisk module(didnt work when i tried "([AOSP 10.0] [2019-12-06] Quack Phh-Treble")
no slider detection so when playing whatsapp voice messages need to open slider or proximity sensor will cause screen to turn off.
double tap to wake doesnt work
whatsapp web the camera has issues focusing and solved by zooming the qr code in web browser
tried enabling aux camera (qualcom) in phh treble settings but still no option for 2nd camera on the back of device. have 1 back camera and selfie camera only.
only method i found to turn on screen from sleep is with power button.
cant test bluetooth audio since i dont have bluetooth earphones.
edit:AOD zip keeps display on only if i keep the slider open so proximty sensor is making it turn off when slider is closed.
adaptive brightness zip installed but still not working.
antutu score is almost 370k so pretty decent imo.
Do the problems that are named always occur?
And the problems of which the solution appears, are also problems that may occur?
Havoc 3.4?
Finally there is a TWRP capable of decrypting /data on android versions > nougat.
Big thanks @NeoArian

Hi, thank you for this build. I was waiting to try Pie on my z1 compact and I'm glad I did because the version of TWRP was blocking my use of encryption.
Sadly I didn't have luck installing the latest builds (the ones from 3 days ago and one week ago) on my Z1 Compact. I got this error:
Code:
fastboot: core/libsparse/sparse.cpp:131: int write_all_blocks(struct sparse_file *, struct output_file *): Assertion `pad >= 0' failed.
When trying to flash to recovery partition. The same command worked to flash back to 3.2.3 (not sure if necessary, done just in case). If there's any way you could look into these builds I'd appreciate it!

What command did you use?
Code:
fastboot flash recovery
or
Code:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel
Do you have the newest bootloader installed? So can you boot directly into recovery with VOL down and power pressed (with 3.2.3 version where flashing was successful)?
Or do you use the method with pressing VOL down when the LED lights up?
EDIT:
By looking at your error code I get the feeling it has something to do with fastboot directly. libsparse is a build dependency of the fastboot binary.
What version of fastboot are you using?
I'm using fastboot installed from the packetmanager with
Code:
apt install fastboot
.
Code:
fastboot --version
gives fastboot version 1:8.1.0+r23-5~18.04.
This would mean 27.0.0 or 27.0.1 according to this scheme. I don't know why they are using different naming schema
However, I'd guess you're using an outdated version (or a very current one - but I don't think so).

I used fastboot flash recovery, with the newest bootloader. This time I got into recovery by selecting it in my older TWRP because I always get the up/down method mixed up, I have done it before it's just easier that way.

I am actually indeed using a very current version, 29.0.2 (so your second less likely guess was correct!) I'm on Manjaro/Arch so we get the bleeding edge updates unlike if you are on a Debian/Ubuntu system that's tied to a lot of different libraries and held back. This is exactly why I stopped using those distros but this is the first time I've had the problem in reverse. I don't know if this is a bug that was introduced into fastboot or what. I do see that the more recent versions have things to do with partitioning. This may be a bug to open with fastboot or to look into further with them? But if it's not a bug with them it would be good to have the build working on the latest fastboot.

It's also 29.0.2 and it works fine for me.
I have tried this version with LOS 16 and it worked well. Some things to improve

backup and restore of boot is not possible
good catch with encryption, I have give it up :good:

Well, I actually didn't know this was possible in earlier versions. However it should work now --> see the changelog
You have to connect usb cable before rebooting to bootloader, otherwise it won't work and just reboot the system.

@115ek,
I have a mysterious problem with 3.3.1-0.0.and 3.3.1-0.1:
I used all twrp versions before without problems and now your twrp did not show the correct date (1970-xx-xx) and time (7-8 hours back).
I tried the following several times:
1. reflash your twrp, clear recovery and flash again,
2. flash older versions: date and time was wrong even after reboot
The only way to get the correct date/time back in twrp was (at least for me) flash stock ROM with EMMA and after flashing twrp 3.2.3 my backup.
I do not want to repeat this as this is a lot of work incl. copying back the internal storage.

Can you try the latest version?
At first you have to set the right timezone in TWRP settings.
The time is stored in a real time clock (RTC) which runs even if the device is powered off. Setting and reading it's value is done by a kernel driver. If you set the right time in android system it gets stored in the RTC. Then, if you boot into TWRP, the time is read again. And for me this works fine. However it takes some seconds (there's a wrong time at the beginning).

Thank you. I know this all, I tried reset to default in TWRP and set TZ etc. but these two mentioned TWRP versions do not read the RTC time (AICP ROM).
All TWRP versions before were ok. I tried this several times.
I noticed this "bug" on my Z1c after a backup with your TWRP (Date from 1970 and a complete false time even after setting the TZ).
Even after flashing one of the older TWRP date/time are wrong (only in TWRP), after booting to Android date/time is correct until I boot to TWRP again.
As I wrote the way back to a correct date/time in TWRP was for me flashing stock ROM with EMMA.
Where is this "kernel driver"? In your TWRP version or in a hidden partition? Sorry I do not know much of these internals.
I assume you did not change in the newest version something regarding this problem.
I have not the time to try the last version for now
Generic question re: encrypting this device
Installed this twrp version and (unlike others) I don't see anything strange. Only thing I haven't tried so far is restoring a nandroid backup I created with this twrp release.
A few days back after I had installed this the first time Itried to encrypt my phone; after a while I received the message that encryption was completed.
Then upon reboot of the device I had to unlock it even before boot sequence had started. Aftter unlocking booting resumed and from then on everything appeared to be as before.
This surprised me a bit because on my other phone (OnePlus6 running stock OOS Pie) I have to unlock after boot sequence has completed. But OK, this may be the LOS 16 way.
Then I devided to unencrypt the phone (this is my secondary device and I only use it for playing around a bit, until I decide to sell it, maybe). Again, from my OP6 I'm used to the fact that if I remove any device locking pattern encryption is gone. But obviously not on my Z1c: after I had removed the security pattern (= set security to nothing) everything appeared to be normal. But after the next reboot all data were gone.
Question: is there a supported way to unencrypt this phone without losing any data?
If there isn't such a way: what happens to my Nandroid backups I took while the phone was encrypted? Are they still usable e.g. after I install a ROM update?

Flashing stock ROM isn't necessary - I'm 99% sure. Maybe you can get a log with
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
while your in TWRP and connected to a PC...
The kernel driver is - as the name says - located in the kernel, which is part of the recovery.img
So everyone flashing this image should have the same functionality (in theory). As it works for me (and some others) I'm just wondering.

The behaviour is totally expected as amami uses the deprecated full disk encryption (FDE). Most likely your oneplus 6 is using file based encryption (FBE). That's the reason it can boot to your lockscreen because some files necessary for booting aren't encrypted (or not encrypted using your password...). To boot a device with fully encrypted /data you have to decrypt it first. If you're interested in details have a look here.
The other thing sounds a bit strange. However I don't know if it's possible to remove the FDE completely. Maybe the device just sets a default password then?
Concerning your question:
What definitely should work is taking a backup in TWRP (of course need to decrypt /data before), then format /data and restore the backup. Anyhow - I didn't test such a case so far.

Flashing stock ROM was the only way that all older TWRP could read the correct date again after trying your twrp version.
I will try to get a log if I have enough time.
So the recovery.img = twrp.img or at least a part of it?
Thank you.
New update:
As I had problems with installing OTA updates (especially with /data encrypted, but not limited to) on LineageOS 16.0 I came up with a fix.
Download Currently only on sourceforge - android filehost is buggy at the moment...
19.09.2019 3.3.1-0.3
fix non working OTA update (rebooting to recovery and stucking there unable to install update automatically)
Edit:
As reminder for me / interested guys: This commit breaks the OTA updating in some cases (when mmap isn't sufficient). The buildflag
Code:
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
doesn't work as intended on my setup. Maybe I missed something.

@115ek,
I used all twrp versions before without problems and now your twrp did not show the correct date (1970-xx-xx) and time (7-8 hours back).

DualSix - Dual Boot for OnePlus 6!
Before You go further, keep in mind that it's mostly recommended for advanced users! And those who can calmly read instructions, preferably twice!
What does this tool do? And what are the benefits? DualSix allows You to boot two ROMs at the same time! You can flash OOS on one slot and AOSP on another or MIUI or GSI etc. How awesome is that? It also gives You as secure virtual mSD Card that will never get encrypted so Your files will be always safe!
How is this Tool different compared to Zackptg5 version for OP7 Pro? Well.. let's be honest.. he's a great Developer and his skills in making scripts and other stuff are a lot better than mine so his version of Dual Boot is definitely better but since he doesn't have OnePlus6 and 7 Pro received great feedback + people wanted me to resurrect DualSix which I made 2 months ago, I decided to finish the project and release it. It will most likely be the last "big project" for this device before 8 Pro.
Now short Q&A:
Q: Can I use on mido, raphael, x00td, vince etc?
A: No! Only use it on OnePlus6 and 6T.
Q: Can I use it with EPR?
A: No. You can't use them on top of each other.
Q: What ROMs does it support?
A: Ports (soon), AOSP ROMs and GSIs.
Known Issues
Storage Settings in ROMs might report incorrect storage size
Currently only 128GB is supported
Shared Storage is sadly only accessible by using any root explorer (/data/media/0/SharedStorage)
This directory is accessible in TWRP as Micro SD Card (keep important files there)
How to Use:
MAKE SURE TO BACKUP EFS, DATA AND PERSIST (if possible) BEFORE USING IT!
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LATEST OPEN BETA / OOS STABLE IN BOTH SLOTS!
Also make sure You're not currently using EPR!
It is recommended for You to keep most important files in Shared Storage / MicroSD Card.
It won't get corrupted if something goes wrong.
If You mess up and end up without DualSix TWRP. You can also use Emergency DualSix TWRP from Emergency files!
1. Run RUN_BEFORE_DUALSIX.bat/sh in Fastboot Menu.
2. Boot into TWRP of Your choice.
3. Flash dual-six-twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.109_op6.zip
4. Flash Dual Six for Your storage
5. Reboot into recovery
6. Format all new partitions (Data A, Data B, Shared Storage/MicroSD Card)
7. Reboot recovery again, confirm that new TWRP log shows no red error messages
8. Now follow ROM specific guide below
-------- Ports ---------
Because ports are slightly more difficult to patch
Future ports will come with separate DualSix flasher.
REMEMBER. FORCE WIPE ONLY WIPES CURRENT SLOT.
YOUR SECONDARY ROM WILL BE FINE.
--- Once that happens follow ---
1. From fastboot, run flasher.
2. Most flashers auto reboot, if that happens, just boot into TWRP (even if You see boot animation))
3. Now when You're in TWRP, copy Dual Six ROM Patcher to Your MicroSD Card Storage
4. Flash Dual Six ROM Patcher
5. Done! Now reboot into the ROM and once it boots, You can root.
------- AOSP ROMs / GSIs --------
1. Flash AOSP_ROM_NAME.zip
2. Flash dual-six-twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.109_op6/op6T.zip
3. Reboot Recovery
4. Flash Dual Six ROM Patcher
5. Flash GApps (if needed)
6. Reboot and enjoy!
Note: if AOSP ROM / GSI stays on boot animation for longer than 10 minutes, flash a permissiver.zip.
You should apply same guide for both slots.

Great job Jay, hoping 64gb comes soon! One of your ports on one slot and GSI on the other would be amazing!
DualSix TWRP not flashing or booting, OnePlus 6T
I cannot get the dualsix twrp to flash to my device. In twrp it says device not compatible and aborts the installation. I also cannot boot the emergency twrp image from the emergency files folder in fastboot mode, when I try it boots back to the rom. I have a OnePlus 6T 128GB model. My guess is that the twrp is only for the OnePlus 6 and that's why it's aborting? But the OP mentions it working on both the 6 and the 6T. I have tried with and without running the "RUN_BEFORE_DUALSIX_WINDOWS.bat" beforehand. Not sure what to try now.
edit: nevermind, the link hadn't updated yet when I first downloaded it earlier so I did have the twrp that was only for OnePlus 6, sorry about that
Nice, will try it when I have time
This is what I thought/hoped the stupid A/B partition nonsense was going to be.
NICE!!
Will this wipes all. Internal storage
Can't wait to try this. Awesome work
Hello everyone, question, just in case if I want to revert back to stock a and b is it just MSM tool? Thanks Dev.
That's terrific ! This sounds promising !
I'll try to get OP6 OOS latest OB and Havoc OS 3.3 alongside
Just updated DualSix to 1.1 which includes external_sd fix which for some reason was missing from previous zip.
Thanks to Lord_Vicky & MounirHero for letting me know.
Edit: Posted a message in my channel where I test ROMs and confirm if they work or not

I was wondering the same thing
Hi...Thank you very much for this mod.
I am willing to do this but i have a few questions regarding it
1st: after we flash this mod...can we go back to the original partition table and if so...could you explain what files to use and in which order.
2nd: if i want to flash OOS on slot a then my current boot slot would have to be active slot b because roms flash to opposite slots right?
3rd: if i have OOS on slot a and a custom rom on slot b...when i have an update for OOS i must be on active slot b and flash the whole OOS full rom zip and flash all the other files like magisk and recovery and patchers or is it a different way?
4th: can we set a password for slot b's rom or will it brick the device like the 7/7Pro' guide section?
5th: does the shared storage have a fixed size or is it dynamic...and if so, if we put photos and media there will the normal apps like gallery and music players be able to access them at all?!
6th: do we have to stay unencrypted?
7th: if we want to flash magisk to slot a....does our active slot has to be slot a or slot b?
8th: if i want to change rom on slot b...then what do i have to wipe to be able to clean install the rom i want?
i know i asked a lot of questions and some may be stupid but i would really like to try this with all the knowledge beforehand so i dont get myself into a perma-brick like the guys over at 7/7Pro's section
Thanks again for this mod and i hope you reply soon .

I tried, I couldn't get it to boot so I was able to revert it back by running DualSix Remover 128GB.zip in the same folder, reformatted everything and reinstalled OOS.
need help
can anybody tell me for certain how bad i just wrecked my phone. So I was on step 4. Flash Dual Six for Your storage, and after it flashed i hit the restart button on accident. My phone was stuck in the op6 3 dot bootloop. Then i might have put the nail in the coffin by fastboot flashing the images out of the 9.0.9-OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_034_all_1909112343_dd26-FASTBOOT.zip. I’m pretty sure im autistic can anyone help me fix my phone?
This is a guide how I flashed Android 10 to my Cubot Power.
Preparation:
HINT:
Make a Backup! You will definitely loose all your data on the phone due to several factory resets!
First make sure your Device can use treble and also which one you need with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.hack5.treblecheck
(according to this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...velopment/aosp-10-0-quack-phh-treble-t3992559)
note down:
Architecture: (Cubot Power: arm64)
System as Root: (Cubot Power: A-only)
then you will need fastboot and adb:
Windows:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Linux:
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
Then you need twrp Recovery or something similar. Cubot Power is not supported by the official twrp project, but there is this unofficial version:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-2-3-recovery-cubot-power/
And you will probably need gapps:
https://opengapps.org/
For cubot power you will need "arm64" and "anrdoid 10" of course.
For the variant version I went with "nano" but you can probably choose what you like.
If you have a external sd card you want to copy the gapps, supersu and no-verty-opt-encrypt ZIP onto it.
Now download the android 10 treble image from:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases?after=v211
For the Cubot Power i went for the system-quack-arm64-aonly-vanilla.img.xz. But you should select the right one according to the treble app.
I went for vanilla because with gapps it did not seem to work.
Optional:
From this site:
https://romprovider.com/cubot-power-root-twrp/
Download SuperSu (https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip)
and no-verty-op-encrypt (https://romprovider.com/download-no-verity-opt-encrypt-version/)
this prevents bootloops.
In case something goes wrong have your stock rom and sp flash tool ready:
Cubot Power: http://forum.cubot.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2419
Flashing
Make sure your phone is charged probably. Booting might take up to an hour. At least 70% is recommended.
Go to developer settings and enable usb -debugging and disable oem.
now type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
the device should now restart and boot into fastboot
now disable oem in fastboot and unlock flashing: (WARNING: this will factory reset your phone)
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
now we want to "install" twrp:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_cubot_power-030918.img
--(Optional) check if twrp is working:
Code:
fastboot reboot
and restart with the volume up button
in twrp go to mount and check if you can mount data. If not: https://appuals . com/how-to-fix-twrp-unable-to-mount-storage-internal-storage-0mb/.
Make a Backup. Then wipe "dalvik cache", "cache" and "data"
Then go to install and install no-verty-op-encrypt.
then got to reboot and select bootloader.
--
continue with flashing android 10:
unzip the xz file
Code:
fastboot flash system system-quack-arm64-aonly-vanilla.img
this might take a while.
Then reboot
Code:
fastboot reboot
now your phone should boot into android 10. This can take very long for me it took about 30 minutes. If it takes longer then one hour you can probably start troubleshooting.
Install google apps(playstore)
once it has booted you either can start the login process and enable usb debugging again and reboot into recovery:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
or turn it off and restart into twrp (power button and volume up).
In twrp again check if you can mount data (see the optional step).
Make a Backup. Then wipe "dalvik cache", "cache" and "data"
Install super su and gapps.
Now reboot to system.
Now again the phone will boot a very long time (up to a hour).
Conclusion:
For me it is pretty stable but sometimes the fingerprint sensor does not work or the sim card is not recognized. But a reboot fixes it (sometimes).
But rebooting always takes time. At least 5 minutes sometimes up to 30 minutes. Once the system is booted there are no feel-able performance issues.
Hy there !
My Treble Info says:
Trable & VNDK supports old Version with VNDK version 27.0
System as Root:
Not supported, use A-only-OS
Will this flash to Android 10 work on this Cubot Power ?
The Phone is currently rooted.

Thank you!
Hi Johanno,
Thank you for this great tutorial! I think I already downloaded the treble check tool in March and I also found the github page, but I didn't find any experience on the net related to Cubot Power, so I didn't dare to upgrade.
Did you try later releases?
Should I go with latest release v222 or do you know about any change in v211 that prevents us from upgrading to a later version? ( your link in the tutorial shows only older versions: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases?after=v211 )
Did you use windows or linux?
Did you experiment with V25 ROM?
https://www.cubot.net/platform/Support/detail/id/192/cid/23.html
Br,
taarzaan
I'm trying the latest release v222. I'm after the last reboot. It's not fast, but I would say it's less than 30 minutes. It should boot in 5 or 10 minutes.
Br,
taarzaan
Results of my experiments
Fingerprint sensor has similar issues like other Cubot devices:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/1273
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/1319
I failed to install MS Outlook, Office, Company Intune app and things like that. I tried to unroot the phone, but it didn't help.
Maybe this Magisk thing worse a try next time:

notes for the next experiment (we should open a proper ticket for phhusson):
"What does "can't be used" mean? Does the pone vibrate? Does screen lights on? If you go in Fingerprint settings, do you see the enrolled fingerprint? Can you enroll a second one? If you press your fingerprint sensor when you're on that screen, what happens?"
I've tried with both v211 and v222 - but I don't seem to get past boot screen.
After using fastboot flash (and I've also tried SP flash tool flash) the phone shows cubot boot screen (with a warning about "orange mode" not being trusted) and can boot into TWRP but when booting system it shows a black screen with white slowly flashing "android" for a long time. More than one hour. I lose faith and re-install stock each time.
Any ideas how to debug and see what's happening?
Any improvements to this? I am having a P20/cubot and had same problems. AOSP v222 does not boot but I tried lineage-17.1-20201215-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avS.img.xz from https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-17.x/
Surprise. it works but a bit slowly. Due to large battery I am thinking of cubot power?
I have 2 questions:
1. Can you please try the lineage-17.1 rom?
2. BTW, did AOSP8 work OK in cubot power? (i like oreo more than android 10)
Thanks for your replies.

Call/SMS/data stability. A lot of devices that came with oreo (vendor) have lots of issues with signal (mobile SIM) dropping after some hours. Thanks

Cubot Power ships with Android 8.1 (oreo). So I asked if you tried the old AOSP from phhusson (v32 - this is AOSP8 equivalent treble ROM). I found the AOSP from the same version (oreo as the device) is faster than installing newer ROM.
Hi guys, as you may have noticed I am not very active here ;-)
I actually went back to stock firmware after a few weeks because I couldn't get the phone working again. And since I want to use my smart phone and not tinker on it every few days I gave up. But now I am thinking about using Lineage os.
But first I need to back up everything and that's probably the thing that will hinder me the most.
Hi. I provide you my story with CUBOT power. It took me 2 days. I worked with a device that was never before modified. Guide on this page is very helpful. Johanno thank you very much!
By TWRP install an Orange mode has been triggered (you see small black text on the white screen with CUBOT POWER logo during boot. First I went step-by-step from this guide and I installed AOSP 11.0 v313. But it didnt want to boot because of boot loops. The no-verty-op-encrypt (last version) solved. I did not installed before because I did not want any root (I dont need). The boot time itself is really very long (I did not measure but guess 30 minutes) and after boot 3 buttons at bottom of screen (back/home/change task) were missing. As it was first run of fresh installed Android maybe restarting could help maybe not. I did not try because the boot time is really unacceptable...
Then I downloaded LineageOS 18.1 (lineage-18.1-20220120-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avS) and tried this one (before install I wiped cache, data, dalvik cache). After install phone started booting - there was some screen about encrypting partitions or so, then animation and there it frozen (I let it run full night without progress). At morning I turned phone off and on and it surpriesd me by just normal boot of working LineageOS 18.1.
Boot time is completely normal (lets say up to 3 minutes) each time I restart.
I tried fingerprint sensor - it works but maybe daily usage is not 100% reliable (Few times during phone unlock it completely ignored fingers). But honestly this sensor is not reliable (from past experiences)
Original LineageOS camera app cannot change some camera settings (I think ISO) because you see only very dark image. But after install F-droid and Simple camera app then it just works without issues.
Another issue i found was the night mode - you will find out that the "low temperature white" color is not stable - it flickers little bit. After some time it started bothering me. I completely solved it by activating developer mode and there I turned on some graphics hardware acceleration (I dont understand why is it turned off by default). Videos playback is working with this with no issues.
This lineageOS has 2 "Music" apps. I did not study the difference but one works and other one crashes.
I did not find any other issue. Gapps works (I installed nano), our local bank apps work (no issues cased by "Orange mode").

hi, how exactly did you install the lineageos 18.1 with the twrp 3.2.3? thank you in advance for your help
i just get boot loop on every rom i try on cubot power
I had the same problem and gave up
Love (how the hell can you love a machine??? - sorry, I guess I have NO imagination, maybe you can ...) this phone. BUT!! After backing up and restoring using LR TWRP a number of times, then using fastboot to flash_all the original ROM a number of times when I got into flashing problems, my cavalier approach backfired in one of these repetitive actions. Surprisingly, at least to me, I have both IMEI's listed on the status page, but a constant "unknown baseband" version. SIM setting is grayed-out, and I am only on WiFi. Flashing the original ROM (V 10.4.2.0) fixed nothing. Tried V 10.4.1.0, but I can't downgrade: luckily the phone wasn't bricked. Flashed Havoc V 2.9, hoping all partitions would be overwritten, then flashed MIUI V 10.4.2.0, but no change.
Have found no solution from Hovatek (stated flashing original ROM usually repairs the unknown baseband issue), or other sites searched from Google. Any procedure to solve this MTK issue on this phone would be most appreciated.
fastboot flash_all IS already deleting & overwriting all partitions, but I found sth interesting going on both my RN8P:
1. Sometimes both of the bluetooth MAC is gone on normal reboot, replaced by generic one 00:00:46:00:00:01 (yes, both got identical MAC).
2. One of the phone can't recognize SIM card after reboot, need another reboot to fix it.
Turned out that somewhere in upgrading to MIUI 11 Android 10 ver, it's corrupting some partitions: nvcfg, ncdata, nvram, vendor, persist, misc, cust.
Here's my fix:
1. Boot to TWRP
2. Mount those partitions then go to Advanced > Terminal, issue: mount to list the ID of the partitions
3. Unmount all partitions
4. Back to terminal, issue: e2fsck -fy /dev/block/sdcX where X is the parition ID corresponding to the list of mount above
5. It'll show that some partition is getting fixed, if done, just issue: sync
6. Reboot to MIUI, let it sit for 5 minutes, then reboot to TWRP again, redo all steps & you'll see it's still getting some errors, it's normal. Redo for 2 more times, it'll get fixed for good.
Something in the systems doesn't right, it kinda needs to readjust all the fixed partitions but in the process it also corrupting it again, therefore needing 2 - 3 more e2fsck as I said above.
Oh, if you're rooted & using AdGuard, NEVER USE Move Certificate module in the Magisk, it's the one contributing to those corruption.
Wow!! Thank you so much! I will follow each step and report what I've found.
So impressed with the detail you have given; thanks to have experts such as you willing to share.
Later ....

Okay,
No luck here:
I have not upgraded to MIUI 11 Android 10. Still on MIUI 10 Android 9.
LR. TWRP has no mount for NVRAM or for MISC. What version of TWRP do you have?
No error messages for the other remaining sdc's - sync after each e2fsck commands. Reboot to system and still unknown baseband - repeated procedure twice, after waiting 5 and 7 minutes.
Thanks for the heads-up on the Move Certificate module and AdGuard - never installed it as it seemed to be not for Xiaomi.

it is indeed not possible to mount an NVRAM partition, maybe the one referred to is the Mount System, you must first check the mount system to restore or backup.
for TWRP files you can adjust to your current Android Version, please check the following post.

I always find out something new. Thank you. No mount NVRAM partition. As far as mount, I thought that SYSTEM partition was always auto-mounted. Not so, it is DATA and CACHE. I have backed-up and restored with this understanding. My bad, again.
Also LR. TWRP is the 1104 version, my goto recovery, as I am always able to get out of trouble using it, except now with no baseband version. However, after using Flash_all, I have to boot into the basic system to make changes before I can restore one of my backups. In this default setup, the status lists no baseband and no IMEI. It is only on restore to my latest backup that both IMEI's are also restored, but not the baseband.

if you have properly saved a backup file of all modem and IMEI partitions, all modem data will definitely be restored, I'm sure not all of the modem partitions have been successfully backed up.
for the modem partition, sensor and IMEI, here are the names of the partitions.
- nvcfg
- nvdata
- nvram
- persist
- protect_f
- protect_s
make sure all the partition names are in your TWRP backup file.

You should be able to do a DD if=/image.bin of=/dev/block/sdcX to fix if you don't have a TWRP backup
- nvcfg is sdc7
- nvdata is sdc8
- nvram is sdc18
- persist is sdc10
- protect_f is sdc11 labelled protect1
- protect_s is sdc12 labelled protect2
I assume protect_f and protect_s is protect1 and 2 but hopefully someone can confirm.

I have NOT "properly saved a backup file" with the modem partitions, and that is where my trouble lies. I am also not being reminded to set the SIM card info when booting up after flashing the stock 10.4.2.0 ROM, which is strange, because a week ago I was able to go back-and-forth between my restored backed-up files and the stock ROM. On first booting the stock ROM, I was reminded every 10 seconds that my SIM card was not correct (my card is only 3G and the default SIM setup was for LTE), interferring with setting up my WiFi for authenticating my Xiaomi account. Now, with an unknown baseband, the SIM is not recognised by the stock ROM, I can enter my WiFi account without interference; and there no entry for the baseband and nothing for the IMEI numbers.
As soon as my "not proper backup" is restored, the IMEI numbers are set correctly, but no baseband.
My goodness, I will see if anyone online can flash the stock zip file remotely and see if that corrects the problem.
Hey, thank you for paying attention to my problem, and I very much appreciate your time on this.

Thank you fellow Canadian :good:; I will try this as well. So great to have all these suggestions from people who know a hell of a lot more than I do. Thank you both Coffeemi and wang1chung.

Better to use LR TWRP, it's the best for Xiaomi phone.
Sadly it's only available for Android 10 version. Better upgrade as Android 10 still way better than their 9 (too much bug).

If no error being corrected then sadly I dunno more except for hardware issue (baseband chip is broken, I saw one case in Mi Community forum). Hope not this case. :crying:
You're welcome friend. The Move Certificate module is for AdGuard actually, its to clear those network being monitored notification when you use AdGuard's HTTPS filtering.
Thank you Coffeemi, wang1chung and of course Crescendo Xenomorph. You've all paid attention to this problem, and it is very much appreciated.
Ok, ok. Not sure how I did not stumble accross this before, or, more likely, not paid attention to this procedure .
I choose to use RN8P with Miui V10.4.2.0 ROM. Gives me the most flexibility. Later Android versions restrict my wants, including using TWRP - just a personal opinion; yours may vary ...
Erased NVRAM and nvdata in this ROM, after having flashed it and rooted it, then installing X-plore File Manager apk (most other rooted file managers would work as well, if not better).
Rebooted, and the unknown baseband problem was solved, at least for me.
Then restored my latest TWRP backup of Data, Boot, System image, Vendor image and Cust image.
All seems well. No more unknown baseband, IMEI's listed as well as Bluetooth. Whew. So many good people out "there", and so many experts to thank. Thank you:good:.

Can you provide me the steps. Because I'm having the same vesion but with IMEI Invalid. My phone accidently got update to MIUI 11 and the Baseband got ruined.!!!
Somehow Android 10 in this phone will corrupt something in nvdata if you do modification on the fly (somehow like they unable to load it properly, thus no baseband with corrupted BT MAC).
How to know if your BT MAC is corrupted? It'll default to 00:00:46:00:00:01.
BT MAC should be one step above WIFI MAC (if your WIFI MAC is AC:1C:05:AC:43:01, your BT should be AC:1C:05:AC:43:02).
Found the culprit: any Magisk version greater than 20.3 will cause this error on MTK devices.
Solution: use Magisk 20.3 stable, it's the only fix till the devs come up with the fix.
