"Portable" TWRP porter [MTK] [TWRP 3.0.2 - 3.1.1] - LG K10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm

There are many k8/k10 models and each models have many different firmware which requires unique TWRPs.
It's impossible to make only one TWRP working for all models however this tool can help you easily port your own TWRP (from 3.0.2 to 3.1.1, whichever you prefer).
This srcipt is only for MTK devices. Qualcomm support can be added once anyone having a qualcomm device will be able to boot into anything from fastboot.
(at the moment no one can "fastboot boot any.img" on a qualcomm device)
TWRP 3.0.2:
Just download this file: http://viid.me/qopRut)
(for 32bit windows download this: http://viid.me/qopRlZ)
TWRP 3.1.0:
http://viid.me/qRlxPx (64bit windows)
TWRP 3.1.1:
http://destyy.com/qFank3 (64bit windows)
http://corneey.com/q4KEZt (32bit windows)
Uncompress it, put your stock recovery image (usually it's "recovery_190464.bin") into the uncompressed folder ("twrp_port" or "twrp_port_x86" in case of 32bit version) and run "twrp_port.bat"
You will get your ported TWRP ("yourTWRP.img") for your device in that folder and you can use it to root your phone (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/friendly-root-method-lg-k8-k10-t3531223).
---------------------------------------
How to get your stock recovery image:
Fisrt you need the kdz firmware of your device:
1. method:
- reboot your phone into download mode (http://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-k10/download-mode/)
- start LG Bridge, go to software update and chose update error recovery (right bottom corner).
- from here follow kappu's guide to get your .kdz file: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/guide-downloading-kdz-lg-bridge-t3504497
- you can let lg bridge finish the flashing process, no data will be lost.
2. method:
- download firmware for your device:
k10: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/stock-versions-model-lg-k10-t3457319
k8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/lg-k8-k350nds-stock-kdz-firmware-t3456467
- now you have your kdz however you better do the next step if you are not sure thats the exact firmware your device has
- use lg up (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/flashing-firmware-using-lg-t3517839) to flash that firmware on your device (just to make sure you are really using that particular firmware)
- all data will be lost
Now you have your kdz, lets extract the recovery image:
- download lg firmware extractor: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575
- upack it somewhere and put the kdz file into that folder
- run "WindowsLGFirmwareExtract.exe"
- open your kdz file (first open button from above)
- tick the first entry under file name (the .dz file) and click on "Extract KDZ"
- you will get that .dz file extracted in your LGFirmwareExtract folder
- close LG Firmware extractor and open it again
- now open .dz file (second open button from above)
- find your stock recovery image under file name (usually it's "recovery_190464.bin"), tick that entry and click on "Extract DZ"
- your stock recovery image will be extracted in the LGFirmwareExtract folder.
Now you just copy this "recovery_190464.bin" (or whatever it's name is - just make sure it's a .bin file) into the "twrp_port" folder and run "twrp_port.bat"
Do not flash it on your device!
No TWRP's can be flashed for good on these LGs... yet...
Only use "fastboot boot yourTWRP.img"
If you succesfully ported and tested your TWRP, please upload and share it with us with the proper description of your model and firmware version!

Does bootloader has to be unlocked to use "fastboot boot yourTWRP.img" ?

He meant Qualcomm.

Gott any method on how to flash it permanently and stop the system on overwriting the recovery. It seems that twrp is one of the important thing needed.

Well... i think usually you have a PC nearby when you test something new on your phone...
However with the new security patch it's actually impossible to root or flash anything modded but using the new 3.1.0 twrp you can delete the stock apps which is the most imprortant aim of rooting our device (i guess). So no more new project on my side...

One more thing does the K10 only have fastboot mode and no recovery mode even a stock recovery?

Hello, I'm wondering if someone can help me out with my Lava Pixel 2 phone?
I'll tell you what I did and what the problem is now.
Several days ago I wanted to upgrade from the stock Android 5 to 6.
My phone had not been rooted before.
I managed to root the phone and install TWRP Recovery on it, but I did not make a backup before I started
and made some changes that prevented me from making a useful backup after TWRP recovery was installed.
After several attempts at installing Android 6 I finally was able to install one (Ruben).
This version is very bad and I would like to either go back to V. 5 or a better V.6 or V.7
The main problems I have now are the following:
1. I can't boot back to the TWRP Recovery menu. Any attempt to do that starts up the phone!
2. I can't find the correct driver to allow my phone to communicate with my computer.
I get as far as my computer identifying the Phone by name, but I can't make a connection to transfer files etc.
Any help with this would be appreciated!
The easiest method is to flash twrp recovery by sp flashtool if you know how to use sp flashtool after that you can root your phone by magisk zip by flashing it in twrp after that install magisk manager this method is 100% working
This recovery works in both lava v2 2gb/3gb
Unzip the files first then you can get the files
Mtk windows 10 driver working in any windows like xp 7 8 10 install driver for phone it is for windows to detect phone while flashing using sp flashtool just download sp flashtool
disable signature enforcement in windows 10 so you can easily install driver
Works in both 2gb/3gb
Flash it using spflashtool

Thanks cool92rj.
Can we change directions a bit?
Since I made my post a couple of days ago a lot has changed.
First off, I was able to get back my Android v.5.1 stock ROM.
I did this by loading the VCOM USB drivers on my Win 8.1 notebook and running SP Flash Tool.
Then I installed ROM 5.1
It worked.
However I would like to try out various v.6 and v.7 ROMS.
Since rooting my phone, I have been unable to get back into TWRP's boot menu.
In fact, I believe TWRP is no longer on my phone!
And I don't even know if my phone is rooted anymore!
I downloaded the files you shared above.
When I tried to Download the TWRP Recovery.img I got a "PMT changed for the ROM it must be downloaded" Error.
I tried to resolve it by Formatting, but that just bricked my phone.
So I started again just now and re-installed ROM 5.1
Could you please give me specific instructions how to :
1. Install the correct TWRP recovery image to my phone?
2. Root my phone?
3. Allow me to try different ROMs?
Thanks!

My device is Lava pixel v2 3gb and there is no custom rom available but for 2gb version you can get the roms from the internet and the twrp is working bro I flashed it in my v2 3gb by sp flashtool and it works with no bugs . after flashing twrp
Press power on+volume up key then you will redirect to recovery menu and choose recovery don't switch on your phone directly after flashing twrp if you do you have to flash it again

Thank you very much. Dropbox is currently making the image unavailable (error 429, generating too much traffic). would be possible to generate a mirror?
And another question, does the image include the updated modem? I ask because TWRP does (or did?) not backup modem image. For others devices it does, but did not see the option for this one. If it still does not it would generate issues, an alternative would be to flash modem through fastboot. I did that with success in order to use 7.1.1 sensors (fingerprint, rotation and all the [email protected] vendors keep pushing to modem partitions instead of using system, as they should). Doing that I successfully migrated coming from MM directly (avoiding to flash stock nougat soak and then 7.1.1 custom ROM)
I will wait to be able to download the image and provide feedback about modem ASAP.

No it doesn't have the Modem Or bootloader
This is Mainly for people who have updated to OTA NPJ25.9-14 and installed a custom ROM and want to come back to stock as there is no fastboot method for this firmware yet and fastboot does not allow downgrading

Yes you can restore the backup but it doesn't have the Modem Or bootloader
This is Mainly for people who have updated to OTA NPJ25.9-14 and installed a custom ROM and want to come back to stock and have not taken a TWRP backup what you need is a proper upgrade.
Follow this Method

Does anyone out there have a Gome U7 and knows how to root it?

I bought this phone in aliexpress and i'm pretty satisfied so far. Except by the fact that it's a totally obscure phone. You can't even find cases for it.
Anyway, the real problem is the lack of root methods. I tried all the root apks out there without success, and there is no known way to unlock the boot loader.
So, as a last effort, i'm trying to find someone that maybe managed to root this phone and could share the knowlege with us. Or at least find some other Gome U7 owners to share this frustation.
Thank you!

From the Aliexpress listing I found, this is MTK6757CD Android 7.1 Nougat. It shouldn't be so difficult to root.
Have you been able to backup / dump the firmware?
Yes, thats the model!.
About the backup, i don't tried it yet, but i supose i can via ADB comands.
The problem is that none of the root apks work, and i can't try to install a root script via the default recovery.
Holy fuc...king cow! I did it!
The dificulty of finding the files for this phone made this task much dificult than it shoul be, but anyway, for the possible people that come accros this thread, that's how i did it:
download the mtk drivers here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jbxsq68g8dd4gk6/MTK_USB_All_v1.0.8.zip
download the stock rom here: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8hMx/N7fqf8X62
Put the stock rom's boot.img on your phone;
Install the magisk apk, click install, and then use the patch boot.img function;
Select the boot.img from the stock rom;
After the patch, replace the patched version with the original version on the rom folder on your PC;
Use the SP flash tool to flash it.
And that's it!
I can't believe it took me four days to figure this out hahaha
Anyway, i hope it helps someone. Have a great day.
Edit: unfortunately the bootloader is still locked, so i can't flash magisk modules. Is there a way to use root privelege to unlock it?
@SkynyrdZ The Link you provided for the stock ROM is for USB drivers.
Possible to link to a western Gome U7 stock rom with playstore on?
Thank you

Oops, my bad. Here's the link: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8hMx/N7fqf8X62

@SkynyrdZ
Is that the only stock ROM out there?
I know it's a chinese phone but it originally had western stock ROM when arrived - As in playstore was available on it. Chinese version is very stubborn in trying to install western apps - Playstore for one does not open when you install via alt options.

I didn't really flash it, i just used the bootloader file on it for the root process. My device came with the stock android rom, with gapps pre-installed.
But as far as i know, you can have play store on any android. Just make sure you install google play services alongside.
I am waiting for my U7 arrived. Any one try this website :

I didn't try it because it seens fake to me. Also, the bootloader on this phone is locked, so fastboot comands didn't work when i tried. The only way i could flash anything was with SPtool.
But there's a group out there called twrp builder that compiles the twrp recovery to a lot of devices. I'm trying to put the gome u7 on their queue, but right now, they are busy with a lot of builds.
TWRP recovery for root with magisk from 4PDA Forum.
and firmware. Gome_2017M27A_MT6757_V01 (U7_GM_00_V1.0)
And I found root guide from GOME U Series Forum. (Chinese) It is same as this website.
(I am waiting my U7 delivery too.)

As you said the bootloader can not unlock why it need TWRP for?
The phone bootloader can lock and unlock as will.
Phone in fastboot mode: ADB command "fastboot oem unlock" then Push Vol+ on the phone to confirm unlock.
But I got the boot loop to TWRP every reboot after following steps to root the phone.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (twrp down load at https://unofficialtwrp.com/gome-u7-twrp-3-2-root/)
Boot to recovery ( this Twrp won't save the language which selected)
Format Data
Reboot to recovery again.
Install magisk
install No verity opt encrypt.zip.
wipe Caches/Davik...
reboot to system but it boot loop to recovery (twrp).
I have to reinstall original recovery.img and lock bootloader in order for my phone to boot normal again. After the phone boot up , install magisk.apk manager to get root.
Try to flash patched boot & twrp recovery image inside rar file with SP flash tool v5.1844.00.00 use their scatter file.
Wow, my device just could'nt comunicate with the adb via fastboot. I selcted the OEM unlock on the phone and inatalled the mtk drivers.
What i did wrong?
Also, you said that you had to install the stock recovery to the phone boot again, so you dont have twrp on the phone?

Thanks. It work great. It is so simple to make the phone root with TWRP. After flashing patched boot & twrp recovery image inside rar file then go to Recover mode, install Magisk and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.

Is there a TWRP recovery for Infinix Hot 10T X689C?

I have an Infinix Hot 10T running on android version 11 that I got recently and I've been trying to install Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) as its custom recovery but unfortunately I've failed to find anything on Google.
I managed to install root on my device using Magisk, but unfortunately I have to use ADB and Fastboot to flash the Magisk patched boot image everytime there's an update and that has been a problem for me. So it's for that reason that I wish to install a custom recovery for easy flashing.
i remember a site called hovatek helped me with my hot 6 and even provided a way to make a twrp based on my device cause it was not even available.
they offered a twrp porter where they used a script to compile and make for me my own recovery all i had to do was provide the needed device image files
android 11 support is not out but feel free to ask your queries here as the hovatek team are made for mediatek devices like yours.
I also found a script online for my hot 6 that offered the twrp with more things like unlocking bootloader...so also research and search deep and hope for the best....but hovatek will help you assured.
The twrp port forum: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21839.html
The Mediatek Auto TWRP Recovery Porter tool for Windows PC is downloadable from here:

Thank you for this information. I managed to download my phone's firmware and apparently there's no file written as recovery.img or anything near that. Could it be that the recovery file is inside the super.img file?

Here you may not get the best help cause the devices are not native to the users who are on the site.

Question Nord 2T 5G Full Factory ROM/Firmware with Scatter file for Unbricking

After successfully rooting my Nord 2T by backing up and then patching the stock boot.img I proceeded to patch the inactive slot within Magisk (it was unecessary of me..) and after rebooting entered a loop. Anyone know where I can get the factory ROM? I was on the May patch. Thanks in advance!
I am also looking for the factory OTA image.
How did you get the boot.img exactly?

Good ol SP Flash but I think the backed up images are corrupted hence the need of factory firmware to use it to restore my device.
Apologies I did not realise you still needed the firmware. I have mirrored it here if you still need it May Patch Full ROM

So extracting boot. img from your file won't be enough to do Root right?

You can't extract from the firmware. You must use spflash tool to pull the boot.img from the device (mediatek devices are a bit different to Snapdragon devices)
I'm going to do it today but I had to bring my daughter to the hospital after a fall she had which required stitches.
Once I have it extracted I might write a guide on how to do it with links to all firmware needed and have a thread where we will have both the stock and magisk patched boot.img's available.
Been like 6 weeks and no root on my device, this is the longest I have went without rooting in almost 7 years

Thanks. I rooted mine within a day but went too far with patching the inactive slot via Magisk and now phone is soft bricked. If you are still interested in extracting the boot image for patching then use this tool. I tried to use it to flash the payload.bin but phone still not booting. I even flashed all the extracted images manually in fastbootd. I guess the OTA file doesn't contain all the files needed to restore the device back to its factory state.
Anyone with the full firmware containing the SP Flash Scatter file please share it. You'll be saving everyone else. I bought my phone on a trip and there are no OnePlus repair centers over here so won't be using my phone until I can restore it myself

Saw you were able to fully extract the payload.bin so could you mirror the files as well..
Issue is now resolved Thanks @Riski3Run and @garylawwd
Alternatively extracting and flashing the payload.bin ALSO works. No need to extract the images just use this beautiful tool

Hi Garylawwd, when I click on the link it displays an empty folder. Can you perhaps reupload the firmware? My device is bricked and I'm unable to find the stock rom and scatter file for CPH2399 :/

Yes I was on the June patch, but I completely messed up my Phone.. can't boot into recovery or fastboot, screen stays black.
When I plug in the phone my computer recognizes it as Mediatek usb port.
When I try to use mtk_gui it is able to connect but it freezes after DA extension and thus I'm unable to read or write anything from or to the device via mtk_gui.
I hope that I can flash the stock firmware via SP flash tool, otherwise I will probably need to send it to OP repairs centre.
But to flash via SP flash tool I do need the firmware + scatter file. ATM I'm unable to find them.
I am unable to create the scatter file via MTKDroid it says --- Unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!
