Dear XDA-Dev-Community,
i have here a china-import with a supposed Android 10.
I would like to install a linaege or other ROM, but which one should I use?
Can you help me?
Basic knowledge for installing and testing is available...
In the appendix you can find some pictures for evaluation.

Nobody can help?
Maybe I can build my own Custom Rom for this device?
What i hove to do? Save the Drivers?!?!
Anybody know a good guide for me?
Probably a faked one... what build.prop entry ro.board.platform says?
And/or ro.mediatek.platform?

adb devices -l gives this:
Code:
device usb:1-2 product:P40 Pro+ model:U2 device:Smartphone transport_id:1
Code:
[ro.board.platform]: [mt6580]
[ro.mediatek.platform]: [MT6580]
complete getprop:

So, MT6580 and probably a Lollipop. Could be worse.
There is some jlinksz (maker of these) threads here.
Also at 4pda, where there is more info and stuff.
Jlinksz K960 - Обсуждение - 4PDA

I would not do much to it if it works well enough as it is. But if you do take a backup first as finding correct one later can be really really hard...

This is not an option. Its so creepy and full of preinstalled apps i can´t trust, u know?
So can i build a custom rom by extract the drivers and AOSP? Is this possible with beginner skills on coding?

So i tried to get root by some tools, from this site here:
How to root your Android smartphone: Google, OnePlus, Samsung, Xiaomi, and more
Rooting your phone is still possible — and fun — these days. Here's how to do it on your Android device.
www.xda-developers.com
But nothing works! by adb sideload or apk-install...
Some advice?
I have the exact same phone, same issues as Ronny has. Have made a backup image of the phone but it's quite large in size ( over 5gb broken into 3 files). Would this be of use in in figuring out how to Root the phone?

Hi Seppppx, I have this phone with Android 5.1 on it. I use Linux so I am assuming I can set the phone up and do the dd's via an adb command?
Any guidance you can give on the correct way to do this would be good and I can try and get the files available for you .

Hi Ronny, you can backup the files on the phone by entering Recovery mode. Switch off the phone. Then, at the same time, hold down the power and volume up buttons down until a small menu appears in the middle of the screen. Choose the recovery option, volume up scrolls through the list, volume down selects which option you want from recovery, fastboot or normal. You'll have a android image pop up, maybe with the message "no command " , just wait or press the same button combination again and the recovery menu should appear . In the list will be the system or user files backup. I see from your images though that you have already figured most of the out.
That only gives us no. 3 of the files that Seppppx needs so I have asked him how to get the bootloader dump.

At first: You need to be root do dd boot and systemimages. After you got it you get try this:

Sorry Bruizer, but this option gives us only a dump of the userdata. this will doesn´t help Seppppx.
Any update on this? I have received a phone to use as back up until I get my own and it's the same type of deal as far as chinese phone goes.
Also, I forgot to mention that I was looking through the adb pull screen shot and even though I do not currently have root I can still cd to /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/ without viewing contents but when i try to cd by-name there is no directory by that name.... I want to be able to achieve root and also possibly make a custom rom for this device and I'm willing to follow any suggestions anybody has. Clearly the boot.img and such are in a different directory but I'm going to have to do more digging.

sorry no updates. we (BruizerBG and me) aren´t able to dd the boot partition.
I would be happy for any advice or help!!!

I'm trying to find some time to do some digging about finding the boot partition because as I stated in my last post the by-name dir doesn't exist but obviously we are unable to find out which dirs do exist without root... If I come up with something I will be sure to let you know.

This is a community port of Jolla's SailfishOS for the Galaxy Nexus.
It features a gesture-based user interface with a unique design and ease-of-use in mind.
For more information about SailfishOS please head over to sailfishos.org.
This is not an Android ROM, this is a different operating system.
It only uses parts of Android for hardware enablement (drivers).
Special Thanks to vakkov, sledges, mugna91, the Mer Project, the Nemo Project and all the fine people over at #sailfishos-porters
Release Notes:
This release is based on SailfishOS 1.0.8.19 (Tahkalampi).
The Galaxy Nexus port is considered to be of alpha quality.
Though depending on your usage it might be stabile enough for daily use.
Bug reports:
Please issue bugreports at the Nemo Project Bugzilla.
Known issues:
Due to an issue with ofono, reading from SIM does not work. You'll need to remove your PIN lock before flashing.
Setting an ambiance (color theme & wallpaper) causes hangs. Either needs the battery to be pulled, or you can SSH into the device and run:
systemctl --user restart lipstick
The startup wizard is getting skipped for now, due to the issue above.
The Jolla Store currently does not work. As an alternative you can try Warehouse for OpenRepos.
The camera does not work.
Due to redistribution issues the codec for MP3 can't shipped. To enable the codec run the following command:
devel-su zypper in gst-av

Nice & interesting..
Awesome! I'd love to check this out, as I've been following the progress in the other thread! (And because I'd actually like to check sailfish out, I never experienced Maemo and Meego so this will be an entirely new experience). However the XDA download link is unbelievably slow (Topping out at like 30 KB/s maximum on a decent internet connection). Does anyone have a download link from a service such as Google Drive/Mega/AFH? I'd be extremely thankful if someone did have a mirror, and would return the favour by uploading it. (If the OP allows for mirrors).

Ubuntu 14.04 recognizes the device as a ethernet cable connection..

Alright, definitely something nobody has tested, for whatever reason. As you are using Ubuntu, a quick sshfs mount to [email protected] might do it for now.

Also, powering down the device while connected via USB to the PC, reboots it instead of shutting it down.
Can't try sshfs since i've just restored my Android backup bc Gnex is my daily driver, I'm sorry.
i couldnt select allow untrusted software to install warehouse. it does nothing when i select accept to allow it o settings.

As mentioned, the "Alpha" tag is pretty much justified. Thank you for testing.
Also, the "untrusted software" switch is pretty useless and installing 3rd party applications
is supposed to be done through the command line for now.

You need to install it through the terminal, I'm not sure what the command is to install rpms of the top of my head, so googling it would probably get you an answer.

I assume you'd need to elevate to root using devel-su, and then use one of the commands I've quoted below to install the warehouse rpm.
From terminal, root
Install a package
rpm –ivh packagename
upgrade a package
rpm –Uvh packagename
you can find out what the switches mean by doing a rpm --help from the command line.

I think -ivh would indicate installation and -uvh being the uninstall process

yes it's seems so..
i'll try you code now..
or maybe the -uvh are the upgrade..?? since it's upgrade on the code you are quote..

so i perssume it the libsailfishapp.so.1 the problem..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53171554&postcount=90
he's said that just copy it from /usr/lib/ . but how come even we don't have filemanager..
i'll try the pkcon install jolla-fileman (the native file manager from jolla) apprently the rpm are not there..
just maybe.. even we have the native file manager.. the missing libsailfishapp.so.1 still occur..

Introduction and Warning:
YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_GJiQYTAIk
Rom Alpha 7/24/2017
Downloads:
Official prebuilt Asteroid OS image : https://release.asteroidos.org/nightlies/sturgeon/
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have an ADB installation (Minimal adb and fastboot should do) and your watches' bootloader is unlocked and debugging is enabled from the settings.
2. Download the two files in the download section and place them in the same folder and connect the watch to the computer
3. Open up the shell or command prompt (cmd) and navigate to that folder
4. Issue these commands:
Code:
adb push asteroid-image-sturgeon.ext4 /sdcard/linux/rootfs.ext4
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot zImage-dtb-sturgeon.fastboot
5. The watch will reboot into Asteroid OS. Every time you want to boot into asteroid you have to issue the last two commands or else you will boot into android wear normally.
6. The Bluetooth synchronization app for Android is named AsteroidOSSync.apk. Be careful that dory is the only port with Bluetooth capabilities and this app will be of no use with other watches yet.
Download : AsteroidOSSync.apk
Removal Instructions:
Just open up shell or command prompt (cmd), connect the watch to the computer and issue this command:
Code:
adb shell rm /sdcard/linux/rootfs.ext4

Nice. I checked the website, too, but it doesn't have an actual answer. What can asteroid do? I see the apps that are available, but does the calendar get events from my gCalendar? Does it sync messages and contacts? I'll probably try this out tomorrow if I have time anyways, I just want to know if it's worth jumping into or if it's a heavily hamstrung OS for folks who are used to AW.
what does it look like in a rounded face?
Just tried twice, even shelled into the watch to confirm that the zImage was saved to /sdcard/linux/ as "rootfs.ext4" and it still won't boot to this OS. I send the fastboot command, the watch vibrates, waits, vibrates again, then boots to Android Wear 2.0.

Dont want to sound rude (I really just wanna help)
Are you sure you downloaded both files? 509MB ext4 and 9MB fastboot?
Are both files in the same directory where you run your adb/fastboot commands?
Maybe we also need some permissions. I'm gonna check it later...
Also I will create a script (either shell or tasker script [maybe even an apk]) to easily boot into astroid os.
Both would be possible: on phone or on watch...

and yes i did all the things.
is it possible that asteroid os needs an older version of the bootloader? maybe one from the older android wears.
btw an app for booting into asteroid os would be really nice.

BTW, which bootloader version does this os develop on?
---------- Post added at 22:32 ---------- Previous post was at 22:01 ----------
I found why still boot into android wear!!
The asteroid os system image's path has been change!
Move it to /sdcard/asteroidos.ext4 then go into bootloader and boot zImage.

Does this tool work well for Pixel XL2? If I wipe phone to unencrypt, will flashing stock re-encrypt it?

I think way early on it was established we can't have it unencrypted once the OS install it's completed, unless something changed or I got it wrong. Lol

You can uncrypt your phone but if you.flash a stock rom, the kernel at first boot will automatically encrypt your memory again. There are 2 different encryption, one by code and one with standard image key. At this moment the twrp will automatically uncrypt the system key but you need to manually write the code (if is setted). The tool will uncrypt both method, the flash of stock rom will re-uncrypt with system key but not with code key

Grazie.
Just got my Pixel 2XL the other day and am excited to root and start modding. I have been monitoring this thread just to see what issues people are running into but it looks like not many people are even doing this surprisingly. I mean that's why I bought this Google phone, so I don't have to deal with locked bootloaders that these carriers put in them to discourage rooting. I know this phone is also locked but it's not for the purpose of keeping people from rooting them. I just think that it's so odd that this thread has very little activity.

The device is very expensive, has dual partitions, has gotten a lot of bad press, and not near as Dev friendly as some others. Having said that, there are about 5 custom roms, root, exposed, substratum, and various launcher and active edge mods. So it's not like we're hurting too bad ??
Billion Capture Plus
Flipkart phone with SD625
There's also a global version now for only 65€ that can be found via Chinese resellers which is a bargain.
According to 4pda the Bootloader seems unlocked since a user was alble to flash mido TWRP with no working touchscreen unfortunately.
The phone has been updated to Oreo with Camera2api enabled which makes Gcam ports work well
Unfortunately there no official downloadable firmware, unbrick guides or custom ROMs, which is surprising considering the great custom ROM community India has
Gcam with everything working except Slowmo:
*Works only on Android 7.1.2
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/NoHex_MGC_6.1.021_xcam_5_beta20.apk
According to a user at 4pda forums mido TWRP can be flashed but there's no working touchscreen.
Since there's no way to find the Oreo update zip file we can't get the display driver yet
Be careful - unlocking the boot on this device leads to impossibility of OTA update to 8.1. (status 7 in recovery). Fought with this phone for almost a month, and no lucky chance to catch the update in "mid-air"(while it's being downloaded) or make the updater's apk to download the firmware in other place instead of data (owner: root). Still going for a vicious circle: we don't have root to pull the OTA update out of the phone to make a custom recovery... And we don't have TWRP to root it.
We didn't exactly flash mido TWRP, just booted it. Hardware buttons are working though, but again we don't have CWM.

I'm not Russian so I'm using Google translate to understand .
Should I upgrade to Oreo any downsides?
Can you upload the Google camera config files?
How can we make twrp work?
Isn't there any firmware dump tool for Qualcomm phones?
If we can get the stock boot.img we can have root without TWRP
Also has anyone tried flashing treble ROMs via fast boot?
Edit: Found this tutorial
What I wanna say is: Dumping the stock boot.img
Modify it with root via the Magisk app
Flash the modified boot.img in fast boot in order to have root

Interesting tutorial, but the program in video saves files in unknown format. What do we do with them after we got dump?
1. Oreo update contains one little bug - it slightly interrupts the touchscreen's work. No noticeable in everyday usage, but still having its place. Can't attach the example 'çause I'm newbie here.
2. The only way to build up the TWRP is to get kernel source of stock rom (boot.img). The problem is that we can't pull it out of device - this partition is hidden under "root" privileges.
3. You can dump anything with ADB, but there is no way you see the most important partitions like data, system, boot, recovery and so on.
4. Nope, see second line;
5. No, because the chance to catch a brick (to get an empty device which won't load the system/recovery/adb/fastboot) is too high.

So is there another way ?
Have you discovered anything new?
Also as I said can you upload the Google camera config files?
You can upload them via a PC using the paper clip icon
Also how's the camera quality with Google camera?

So far we can't see another ways to get TWRP or root. Couple of configs (remove space in the end of links):

Google Camera works pretty fine, especially on 8.1. But the seventh droid has fancy photos too. Search for the gcam on the 4pda thread, there are some examples of Google Camera photos.

Any Custom Recovery for Billion Capture Plus??
Is there any working Custom Recovery available for Billion Capture Plus (4GB+64GB model). I have tried some available recovery from TWRP and OrangeFox and it stuck in Boot screen where it just show "Billion logo and powered by Android". In this mode if I connect to my PC and using fastboot I can still access mobile and whatever I try to flash it is not working.
Any help in getting Custom Recovery or Original Bootloader so that I can use my mobile will be helpful for me.

Anyone got enough language skills to translate some 4pda instructions into english? Ofc we got google translator, but personally I would feel more secure having those steps in english.

Ohh ok. This phone is a little different from my last one op9p..recovery was inside ramdisk..so usually I would boot twrp.img and flash recovery to ramdisk..
I tried fastboot boot twrp.img..it switched to slot b..so I had to set active back to slot a..my mistake
I'll try your method and report back. Thanks!

Extract the file to a directory then put your phone in bootloader, connect your phone then go to the directory you extract and click on 8pro****.bat (*** for some chinese character). Your phone will then boot after it is done. However this is not a free rom you can run it for 30 minutes and you will have hard time to get back to stock rom since this rom modify the stock rom partitions.

Have someone tried that miui 14 rom? Are there any screenshots or something about what happens after 30 minutes? Might be possible to just remove that restrictions, but unless there's an easy way to revert back to stock (EDL or something), don't think it makes sense to flash it. Better wait for someone to build a proper CAF/CLO ROM (i.e. Paranoid Android)

It's MIUI, there's nothing that could fix that
That's not the point tho. Gonna assume no one yet tried flashing it (so the potential drawbacks not including 30 minutes lifetime are unknown. Should be always possible to remove that from ROM anyway). And we still don't have any way to unbrick, ZTE doesn't want to give us the flash tool for bs reasons.
