I came upon this device on Christmas (a gift from my girlfriend to her father) and wanted to root it and also install clockworkmod recovery, so I could mess with it a bit without bricking it. Since I found a lack of tailored guides for it, I decided to write this one, although I really did no actual development whatsoever. Normally I would be posting this on general, but given the spirit of this forum, I guess I'll just leave it here. Also, keep in mind I don't have the device anymore and am writing this from memory. If I missed anything or you have any doubts, please let me know (for example, I can't recall specifically the drivers I installed to make it work properly).
Please, please read the whole guide before trying anything, and if you are a novice user, just leave this be, I don't want you to turn your tablet into a paperweight because of my shoddy instructions written from memory and you probably don't need any of this anyway as there are no custom roms yet.
!!!DISCLAIMER!!!: As stated above, anything you do is at your own risk. I provided the procedures that worked for me on a Qilive 97r tablet, which is an Auchan branded ARCHOS 97b Platinum HD, so my step by step should work for all of you. There are probably easier ways to do this, and I hint at them in the guide, but beware I have not tried them and cannot vouch for them. In fact, I cannot and will not take any responsability if you brick your device following these instructions, correctly or otherwise. You do this at YOUR OWN RISK. You have been warned!
Rooting:
I followed this guide on Windows 7 x64 and it worked perfectly.
So thanks to dhigby for that. I would just like to make a couple of remarks:
When you get to step 7 (Installing Superuser by ChainDD), don't. Install SuperSU by Chainfire instead, Use it to update the superuser binary (I think a prompt shows up) and when asked, let it delete the "other" superuser applications, that is, the chinese one. Clean and easy, you don't need to follow any more steps.
Congratulations, you now have (english language) root!
Clockworkmod Recovery:
There is no specific recovery for this device. Fortunately, thanks to AndroTab.info, there's a generic version for 3188 devices that you'll see should work quite nicely, albeight with some caveats.
What works:
Nandroid backup to/from external SDCard (won't recognize internal)
Installing zip files should also work, although I didn't try it at the time, as the device wasn't mine and I can't since I don't have it anymore, but since it mounts system partitions perfectly well I wouldn't think there would be a problem. Try it at your own risk though.
Other things probably work, give it a try.
What doesn't work:
Internal SDCard access
Probably other things
Installation:
Now that you have a rooted tablet, installing clockworkmod recovery is easy-peasy. Go to developer options and enable USB Debugging, then make sure you have a working adb daemon (look it up) that recognizes your tablet.
NOTE: I'm not sure if I had to install any specific drivers for this to work, I think if so they were installed while rooting by the chinese app. Anyhow, here's the Rockchip drivers, you might want to try to install them if you can't get a connection: http://www.rockchip.nl/downloads/
Download the file RK30GENERIC_CWM.zip from here - that's the recovery.
Now extract flash_image and recovery.img from the downloaded file above to the folder where you have your adb and follow the following commands.
Push the files to /dev partition on the device:
Code:
adb push flash_image /dev/
adb push recovery.img /dev/
Then enter root shell, like so:
Code:
adb shell
su
Now flash recovery.img into recovery partition with flash_image:
Code:
chmod 755 /dev/flash_image
/dev/flash_image recovery /dev/recovery.img
Now power off your device. To enter recovery press volume down then the power button and keep them pressed until CWM boots. Voilá!
NOTE: The instructions above were adapted from here and all credit goes to AndroTab.info ; I posted these particular instructions because they are the ones I used and worked for me; there are other methods listed on that page which might or might not work, TRY THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Backing up your original recovery (for warranty, if anything goes wrong, etc.)
To obtain a backup image of your recovery \ restore it back afterwards, follow this guide here. All credit goes to Originalas.
Don't follow it to the letter though: first and foremost, you need a working linux installation. If you don't have one, I recommend Wubi.
Then:
Follow step 1;
Ignore step 2 (it's outdated);
Follow 3;
Follow 4 - but don't expect the screen to turn on, it won't, just hold the volume down button for 10 seconds or so after plugging it in, don't press the power button!
Ignore 5, 6 and 7
Follow 8, but don't use the last command to flash the CWM recovery onto the device. This is because since it is a generic version, it relies on the original recovery kernel. Flashing the image like stated in step 8 would probably overwrite the kernel and result in no recovery at all (I might be wrong about this).
Do follow the last command to restore your own backup if you ever need to.
I am unsure if recovery dumps obtained in this way are device specific; I don't see a reason why they should be, so I'll provide you with my own backup:
ORIGINAL RECOVERY
Flash through any method of your choice, but keep in mind I haven't tried this on other devices, so, as you know by now DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Closing remarks:
There you have it. Sorry for not holding your hand through every step, but this is meant for people who know a bit of what they're doing, making it faster than having to look up and figure out all these things and quirks on their own. If you have any doubts don't hesitate to ask, but keep in mind I don't have the device anymore and don't know much more than what I have written here. I do appreciate feedback and corrections, and will gladly change the guide giving you full credit - if it's really urgent just PM me, I might not check this thread often.
Cheers!
thanks, works like a charm...do you have any news about updates\custom roms? I can't find anything even in the archos main site

I wouldn't keep my hopes up on custom roms. The software is really bad and what it does with the hardware is terrible. It's like a bunch of chipmunks put the code together by randomly typing into a keyboard.
That said, the likelihood of a new kernel to fix that is next to nil. However, since the ROM is as far as I can tell pretty near stock, you can get a pretty good experience from the device by installing gravity box xposed module. I also recommend trickstermod and changing the governor to performance, as well as some kernel tweaking if you know what you are doing.
Also, very important, limit the amount of processes running in the background to 3 in dev settings or change the used memory limit to something like 1.2 gb. It has 2 gb of RAM, but, as I said, the ROM sucks, the system eats away a full gigabyte, and it doesn't effectively kill background apps, leaving you with a sluggish device if you multitask.
Anyway, those are just some ideas, if you have some more or would like to code for this device, feel free to share Also, as I always say, give it time. You never know who is gonna get they're hands on the device and do something amazing with it.

hi and thanx for the answer
yes i saw that it's almost stock but crappy optimized...in the very first start of the tablet i had 1.8gb occupied by nothing and clean master always notifies me that 90% of the ram is busy...meh
maybe just a kernel will fix like you say but you know, android 4.4 will be a must (rockchip already released sdk for 3188). I am not a coder (totally zero) but i will try your suggestion...just a question about the performance governor, does it drain more battery?
i am trying to backup my rom but cwm is so buggy...first was impossible, now i'm stuck on backing up boot image
there is a twrp available for this tablet?
solved

Hello, i need help , if somebody know where I can download original rom , and original installer, I will be thankful for that's.
Alright ... after 2.x years I yet again pickup this beauty.
Unfortunately the one I got is nowhere near the one I had from my old employer, this one was $80 and has seen much better days, but I figured I'd get back into looking what Android had to offer, for me.
So I take a look and I realize I HATE KitKat ... horrible standard OS and if LG keeps doing this to the Android OS it would suck!
Ok ... so I do the following:
Root using SuperSU ... sweet.
I download to the PC FreeGee - realizing no longer needed after 2hrs last night but I'm tired and I say screw it.
So I download FreeGee directly on the LG ... Bootloader unlocked. Sweet.
I copy the zip file for the CM 12.1 for Android 5.1, I think it's for 5.1 but the subsequent events may tell I'm wrong.
(File: cm-12.1-20150521-UNOFFICIAL-geeb)
Now, device installs the OS and reboots successfully. Sweet jesus this looks beautiful! I navigate around the menu and I think all is good and a few icons I have no clue what is going on with the one in the tray on the bottom right.
So I launch it and it goes through first page of info and I realize it's Google's Camera which saves everything in the cloud ... NOT a fan of that, and there is a check box to disable location information I disable it.
I exit the Google Camera app and then the screen goes blank. I see 3 Red LED blinks in the notification light and 6hrs later I STILL cannot power it on!!!
1. Can't power it on!
2. Can't get Bootloader to show up (the one with the Android heart exposed)!!
EEEK.
3. Just the damn LED blinking, consistent blink!!
4. I try Volume UP/DOWN buttons, connect USB to the G, then to Win7 and nothing!
I suspect Google Camera trying to connect to Google's services which may NOT be in CM12.1 for this device. I also suspect since I installed the CM12.1 with the USB connected it tried to connect using ADP, which I feel it KEEPS doing in Win7. I have the factory drivers and the updated drivers NOTHING fully works; just the connect then immediate disconnect chime in Win7.
Files I have: (I'm using Win7 64bit)
These files I've all acquired through various threads there.
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S52MAN314AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.14.1.exe
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip (SuperSU to root)
cm-12.1-20150521-UNOFFICIAL-geeb.zip (This was installed before going dead with LED blinking Red.
LGMobileSupportTool.exe (because I do NOT have the S/N, it's in the OS which will NOT boot I cannot download the original OS from LG's servers, arrrgh!)
LG-KK-4.4.2-Intl-Cdn.zip (supposedly the original OS yet HOW the FUNK can I load this onto the LG if I cannot see anything on the screen? Hmmmkay ...
so does this mean I've got a permabrick and i'm fubar'd? IF not would anyone please led an assist, please would you?
Thank you kindly, in advance.

Need desperate help with a MediaTek clone of S4
Hi everyone,
I will try and keep it short but last night I was badly scammed by a wonderful specimen of the human race, who wanted to sell his old Samsung S4. Turns out:
1. Its a mediatek clone
2. It has more issues than anticipated but all buttons work.
3. Seem to be soft bricked
Now I am facing nothing but patience to try and fix it. What works:
1. All buttons seem functional.
2. The phone boots into normal mode where I have only empty screen with a Phone app. The Phone app opens I can enter digits but cannot dial.
3. I can reboot into Factory mode - I performed all the tests of the device and all were a PASS. I heard the sounds, checked the cam, everything seems to be perfectly working. Touch scree, camera, sound etc. Even noticed it had FM.
I tried booting in Download Mode - no success. I get the dead Android image and it just hangs there. I can easy reboot though.
My PC recognizes the device and opens a media (empty) device folder.
I tried thus far to use SP Flash but....I dont know how to. Nothing is happening.
Of course I spent 6 hours waiting on different stock ROMs for S4 before realizing its a MediaTek device.
And now, here I am desperately asking if anyone could help me, if there is a chance to remedy that situation of mine. I dont need the phone to do anything special. The closer it is to a Samsung Android ROM - awesome. If its other, I dont mind at all. So long as it works and has access to Google Play Store.
Thank you geniuses and wonderful people for any hint you might have.
Hi
I had a similar issue couple of yrs ago with an S3 clone.
First thing u need to knw is the mtk version, memory details (RAM & ROM) and screen resolution to find a suitable OS version.
If ur lucky, ull get the stock ROM from the manufacturer on Google or else ull hafta search on xda, needrom, or the Chinese forums. Most of such devices don't have a lot of development so ull hafta port ROMs so a custom recovery will b helpful
Hope these points help
Sent from my YU5510 using Tapatalk
Ok.
So I need:
Device RAM
Device ROM
Mtk Version
I think I can extract these from the Factory Mode. Will check.
Then I need to get the stock ROM (hopefully) or search for a custom ROM. (Manufacturer I suppose we talk about MediaTek and not Samsung?)
Custom Recovery - yeah, usually this is the first thing I install but how do I do this on a cloned mtk? I suppose ODIN wont work. Can you lastly point me to a link or name of software to use instead of ODIN? (or will it work with ODIN?)
Didn't know where to post this exactly, to be honest. This will be a long post
I was flashing AOSP roms in the phone. Tried to go back to One UI for the VoLTE thing
In one of the AOSP roms I couldn't install it in Lineage Recovery (older version of the rom thing). I saw i one post that doing an ADB Sideload in TWRP could solve the flashing problem. Did that. No issues
Wanted to test another AOSP rom but didn't boot (bootloop), so then I tried to go back to One UI. Don't remember if I did a format data in that moment.
After installing the rom and reboot to system, the phone doesn't even show the splash screen.
But tried to go to download mode and it went there, so the phone is still alive
Tried also going to recovery and it boots there (just to recovery and download mode)
I tried everything I could:
Flashed another custom ROM without success
Flashed other AOSP roms again
Changed the recovery (Lineage, TWRP and Stock tested)
Flashed the stock firmware through Odin several times
Tried to do a re-partition in Odin
Did several factory resets
Nothing seems to work. The weird thing is that, with any rom that I try to install, it tells that is installed, but when I go to the file manager in TWRP, it doesn't install anything. The free space before the installation is the same as after it. I don't know what else I can do. I just have the hope because the phone starts in BL and recovery
Anyone have any idea of what can I do to solve this? Or if there is a way to install the OS outside Odin or recovery (or ADB)
Tried with fastboot (Lineage Recovery) with several commands, and I think I found the issue. The system partition got corrupted. Need to know how to repair it (tried already with the repair option in TWRP)
Any help with this?

Good afternoon faithful and unfaithful
Unfaithful Redspikejr
The barbarian from Pakonan has no idea about this but in your case he would do the following since I have had your problems and it was resolved positively.
I'm going to try to help you, I don't know English and I use a translator, I hope it's good to understand each other. Luck
First option
1 I want you to put through odin in AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot
2 in twrp delete data and say YES restart in twrp again and try to install PixelExperience_d2s-12.1-20220522-1749-OFFICIAL. I understand you will have it on the SD, if not, put the ROM on a USB key and try to install it in TWRP.
If you manage to install it, then install magisk apk and restart the system.
3 once started install magisk apk and ready.
Second option
1 I want you to put through odin in AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot
2 in twrp delete data and say YES reboot in twrp again and install the Recovery lineage.img and reboot in Recovery lineage and Factory reset & reset system partitions
3 Install the PixelExperience_d2s-12.1-20220522-1749-OFFICIAL. I understand you will have it on the SD, if not, put the ROM on a USB key and install from there. turn off the phone and
4 in download mode odin AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot reboot into TWRP
5 Install Magisk apk and reboot system.
once started install magisk apk and ready.
remember to have the cable plugged in to enter TWRP and download while you are following the steps. Good luck, you will say.
Salu2 of your most faithful infidel Pako
To update the situation
The battery of the phone in inflated like a balloon. I don't know for sure if that was caused by something physical, but will update when have some news
i still have the same problem and still hunger for a solution because i just bought it .. Been running quite a few firmwares now. and bootloaders and kernels and recoverys so far... but whats funny is in pixel recovery it said i had a "d2x" model which is SM-N976 model with 5G... But every elsewhere it says d2s which is note10+. Odin also says SM-N975F model... But anyways... I really really hope someone finds a solution. Because im stuck as hell...
I also made a thread my self
Partly bricked... SM-N975F
Hey guys.. Ive been a visitor in XDA forums for quite a while... And i been running root and custom FW with more or less every samsung from S2 and up... But i just got my self a note10+ (atleast thats what ive been told) and i wanted to root it...
forum.xda-developers.com
And i think its VBMETA problem. BUT i dont have any experience on that term...
Crossing fingers still...
I might have found a solution
Holy Hell, Im am so glad im not the only one that this is happened to. I will be more happy when we find a solution. I have put myself (device) in some questionable states but this has been a first and strange one for me . Its like being so close to booting into system then nothing.

Android Verified Boot 2.0
I found this link this morning. Im sure this is the culprit.
I experienced today something like you. It did not let me flash even stock firmware. But I succeeded to get out. I flased via ODIN BL slot from Dr.Ketan and in AP slot TWRP and nothing else. And I managed to enter the TWRP recovery and from there I restored previous backup.
I will try to do a multipost due to more threads and problems which are the same...
But this is the solution...
In my folder on the picture you will see 2 files i marked with green color...
Use the file and burn it according to your current setup. Odin or custom recovery.
And the problem will be solved. Used 14 days and countless of hours to get out of this boot loop!
So im finally happy to see the boot up screen without pressing into download mode or recovery mode...
The folder on the picture is to be found on this forum... Just cant remember from which thread exackly

Bless you. My poor phone was down since 6-20. I was just kicking myself in the ass the other day saying if I got my phone to boot again i would never flash **** it on it ever again... @Titanity thank you so much for making me look like a liar. Now lets see what else we can do lol.
So you got it to work? And whats up next?

Yes it did. I have gotten myself in some pretty bleak spots in the past and have been able to resolve all my issues on my own research, troubleshooting, trial and error etc. but I had never had a device that was actually able to power on, flash twrp, stockfirmware pass in odin, tried all type of pit file patches, adb and fastboot commands and still not be able to get into OS completely stumped me and I had exhausted so much time on it that i came to the conclusion that one of the talented members of XDA would for sure come up with a solution and I was right.
Sorry for the blabber, Ive been just a watcher of this site for many years and have never had to engage so my apologies for my forum etiquette.
I main focus now is to find a good rom to run with nethunter. I was running Dr. ketan Rom with nethunter while installing every LSposed Module that sounded cool and was beyond impressed by how stable my device still performed (one of my largest TWRP backups was 49Gb btw.) So yea, look for something with a strong kernal, light rom to see what I like. I have yet to try the new roms out due to unfamiliar processes of installing outside of Odin. Its been a while since I had some free time tinker in this space again.
Yea im just a watcher my self... it took me a few days until i decided to make this solution. Because i do think it was a important solution i found. But yes im just a watcher my self...
Now im stuck again though because i have a faulty usb-c, so its claming theres water inthe entrance which there isnt. And i been looking all over the forums for a solution like 3 times now. And people are just trying to trick the fault or acturally have a solution... But thats only IF they have water inside and the stupid alarm goes off...
Instead i need a solution to disable it now that its rooted. So need to know exackly what to look for and theres no help to get here. So kinda stuck... Irritating because i just wanna use it for dex... And not dex wiesless because its lagging on the mouse and what not... So my adapter need the recharge entrance and ... doh! Long journey so far... And its far from ended...
But im very happy it worked out for you... Keep in touch if you need another silly question. Then i might have silly questions for you aswell Good day my friend
@Titanity Bless your heart, I need your help . I broke my friends phone which is a note 10 plus, and all that you guys mentioned about trying everything I did as well.. I read your solution but I dont know where to find the files you marked and how to go about them exactly... the phone is currently on stock recovery and is stuck there.
Okay do you have a option to use a mic and the software discord? i do belive its easier for both of us if we can do this with direct communication. If you dont want to use / have a mic. Then its also fine. Discord got a chat aswell so dont be shy I have my own discord which is:
Join the thetitanity @ twitch.tv Discord Server!
Check out the thetitanity @ twitch.tv community on Discord - hang outwith 17 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
discord.gg
Ill pop op now and then, but im not a streamer anymore on twitch. So dont be mistaken by the server info...
Look forward to see you on there. And ill make sure to have the files ready for you
Until then haha
EDIT: I just uploaded a package filled with "i help you in case of emergency" files. Make sure to download it before entering discord. Get it at...
https://easyupload.io/xwlk0w - and the PW is: titanity (30 days avalible)
Also have info ready like: is the model a 975F or? what firmware is on it at the moment. Is the bootloader unlocked. But also things like do you ever used TWRP before and know how to use it etc?
Its a package filled with files of my choice, but made by people from the forum. So no credit goes to me but them...
Have in mind that all the time i been on the forum i always just read the forum and downloaded when needed, so its the first time im trying to help others... But im optimistic!

So there's this tutorial for installing windows 11 on Xiaomi Pad 5
Simple and easy way unlike past methods. And it's available for all users
How to Install Windows 11 on Xiaomi Pad 5 - Gizmochina
It’s been more than a year since the Xiaomi Pad 5 is here with all its high-end specifications consisting of Snapdragon 860 and Snapdragon 870 on respective models. Surprisingly, the Android tablet from Xiaomi can now run Windows 11 without any major bugs or flaws. As spotted on Geekbench...
www.gizmochina.com
It works using one click installer (chinese tool)
The problem is that it lack a lot of details and support is only on chinese.
Did anyone tried it?
I searched on the internet no other websites or YouTube videos
Yesterday I was about to install it and try it but the prompt box said there's a high risk of getting a bricked device and using Mi Flash Tool in fastboot won't help after updating the partitions so basically it's beyond my expertise.
I already has the ArrowOS custom ROM not MIUI.
And how can someone fix a bricked device after updating partitions.
I installed windows 11 on my xiaomi mi 8 that have a snapdragon cpu, the same as mi pad 5 and the process should be the same. When i modified partitions for installing windows 11, i was not able to reinstall android because “userdata” partition got deleted. With “parted” tool (or the same tool used for modify partitions), i deleted all windows paritions and re-created the default “userdata” one, so i was able again to install android and use mi flash tool. (Always take a screenshot or a backup of the default partition lable, in case you have to restore it)
Found a video that should be useful:
Thank you so much
The video is great but the tool is much easier (one-click installation tool)
I have no expertise in modifying partitions, so ur experience in ur mi 8 would be very valuable.
I might need to ask u some questions when things get messed up if choose to proceed with it.
Yes

yes, i can help you in this process, but it’s a bit different than xiaomi mi 8, because i did it 1 year ago, so, maybe I should be able to help only in cases of problems. If you can, post here a screenshot of the default partition lable.
EDIT: if you want to dualboot, the process is a bit different, because you will have to shrink the userdata partition, not remove it completely. This way you should be able to use flash tool even with windows installed, but I'm not sure, because I'm not familiar with this guide. But remember that with the dualboot you will have less space in both operating systems.
I'd recommend using commands instead of the automatic tool, but if you're not familiar with cmd, then you're free to do whatever you want. However, I leave the official guide (for dualboot) https://github.com/erdilS/Port-Windows-11-Xiaomi-Pad-5/blob/main/guide/English/1-partition-en.md

If you brick your device is very difficult to unbrick it. I have an POCO F3 which is bricked and it has passed over 4 months and i can't do anything to unbrick or restore the partitions. If you are new study a week or two about android partiotions in internet be experienced and after that try to port windows 11.
But if you liked tweaking and you want the maximum perfomance of your tablet take a look at my guide.
The same tool (Engage Machine Toolbox V2.1.2) Has a button to revert the partitions and make userdata last partition and delete the windows ones. Once that's done you simply reboot and will boot to android(in case it crashed in the middle of the process). If it still doesn't boot, flash with mi flash because it will work now, or use fastboot rom. Anything but clear all and lock. Do not use that option(I don't know why it's applied by default at mi flash startup+load images folder).
I just bricked my mi pad 5 last night, struggled for several hours until I managed to revert it to Android. Still haven't been able to install Windows 11 on it. I reach the point in the gizmochina tutorial where it makes the partitions, it never asks for the wim file, throws error : no uefi or windows partitions found. Haven't tried to install manually, like create partitions and flash partitions using cmd.

You're so correct about the clear all and lock thing, it once happened to me during installing fastboot rom cuz its the default option. The solution is just use the mi unlock tool again and it will do the job. Regarding installing windows, will u try the tool again or try manually? In both cases, if it works , please let me know id really appreciate it
I will try the manual way because i spent like 5 hours trying this tool.
5, because there is no backout plan in case something happens.
I always hate this about all tutorials out there : they assume it works 100%. If it fails, no help from anyone.
The tool throws errors like : data is not formatted(because you need to format data via recovery and then boot straight into fastboot...anything else fails), partition table failure(because the userdata is not the last partition(this happens when the partitions are made for windows install), and last error that I got was "windows or uefi partition not found"...i still haven't cracked this one.
I think I have time today to try manually. Will let you know.
Yup that's unfortunate it says if you have questions ask in the comments and there's no comment section at all. It's barely a guide.
For example: they should've mentioned that thing about formatting and booting directly to fast boot. While in the tutorial it says format then reboot then go to fastboot which is useless cuz when you first boot after formatting data you've already lost ur formatted state. Anyways I wish you good luck with manual tutorial.. the dual boot one that Maxsenza151 shared seems a good option. Waiting to hear from u

There is no comment section because the text is copy-paste from somewhere else.
So I did the dual boot and it works like in this tutorial :
Git : https://github.com/erdilS/Port-Windows-11-Xiaomi-Pad-5/
The issue is that camera and speakers do not work and the charge is amazingly slow.
I'm hoping on some driver updates in the future but for now I'm using it on Android...

Ouch, speakers and camera are important.
I'm glad it booted up, tho. Although it had issues I think you learned new stuff during this tutorial. Thanks for keeping me updated. I hope im the future there will be more driver updates and an easier method.

Just do the manual One. The Renegade Project team highly recommend to follow the GitHub guide that i sent to you. If you use your brain, you can do It, its quite simple too. Join Project Renegade telegram group and ask them.
P.S: on the renegade project website they say that you need to follow github guide because there are some importand device-specific steps!
In the photos, you can see what they say.
(There is a uninstall guide too on github)

I joined the telegram group, until everything works I'll install it. Now I'm good with arrowos 13, yesterday i tried to install miui 14 dev chinese rom and i bricked my pad 5 and even mi flash tool couldn't make it through. I then managed with a little help of mindows tool and then reflashed arrowos .
