Recovery INFO
The salient features of Carliv Touch Recovery include:
Based on CWM 6.0.4.4
Full Touch Support
With features of Cannibal Open Touch
Aroma File Manager Support
Support for both Edify and Amend scripting allows flashing all ROMs
Touch screen button controls
Advanced Backup
Advanced Restore
Delete old backups
Persistent settings
User-defined backup locations
ADB Sideload
Update CTR v2.5 (30/07/2014)
Changelogs:
New Menu Layout
Tar + Gzip Backup Compression : ( "Backup/Restore" -> "Default Backup Format" )
Your Backups will be smaller now, just like on the old native CWM
Removed "wipe all" option from wipe menu ( if you need to wipe system, use "format system" from "mounts/storage")
Rearanged menu order in root menu to restore CWM order
There's now an "nvram backup/restore" menu in "carliv" section
The nvram partition will be backed up in clockworkmod/backup folder as nvram.img. This will help if you lose IMEI and other communication features. It will work only if you have the nvram partition of size 0x500000 (check your scatter) and if you have the nvram defined as /dev/nvram path in recovery.fstab. If the nvram partition is damaged (as in flashing an oversized recovery) this will not help you, and you need SPFlashTools to reflash with format your phone official firmware, and after that flash this recovery, boot in recovery and restore nvram.
some other small changes.

Where can you please downloaded the source code for kernel mt6582? Can you give me a link please?
Or: Your sources kernel what you gave to download are original (unchanged)?

Hi
You guys are all crazy with the MTK leaked sources, but do you even have an clue what those sources are?
You cant just compile an source that's customize for other phone , thinking it will work on yours.
There's a lot of work to be done, and you need an huge amount of luck to have your phone drivers available in that source.
This said, I will appreciate that people avoid off-topic and other phones talk in this thread.
This ROM and recovery will only work on wiko darkmoon and Micromax a200 (clone).
If your using this ROM as a base for another MT6582 phone, please be an gentlemen and give proper credits.
Regards

Great work, thanks.
Do you know by any chance if there is any option to add languages to this rom? Wiko doesn't include many languages. I can use locale2 from google play, but that only translates some of the functions.

Hi
Yes i know, when i made a MIUI rom for my old ZTE v970, i had an hard time trying to find the proper strings for your language.
Even on stock roms from big brands, its very rare to find support for that language.
Im trying to merge and revise some strings from various sources, maybe in an future version.

Great, that would be awsome.
As for rarity of my language, I find it quite well supported. Google Nexus has it, all Samsungs have it, so does HTC, Sony... I know Prestigio and Gsmart have it. CM also. It's not a big deal, but nevertheless - I wouldn't mind having it
Great ROM btw, very customizable.

Hi
Well good news and bad news
The good:
I managed to Build an UNOFFICIAL Lewa Rom for our device, currently fixing the lastest issues and adding multi-language support.
So since im currently working on this language strings, might as well use that work for this rom also.

The bad:
From what i gather until now, only about 100 slovenian strings are compatible (this is less than 5% of overall translation files), will keep looking

[Recovery][TWRP] Lenovo Z5 Special Edition TWRP-3.2.3 [10/2]

RECOVERY information:
Name version: Lenovo Z5 special edition TWRP-3.2.3 Chinese and English modified optimization
file package name: TWRP-3.2.3-LENOVO_Z5-CN-wzsx150 -fastboot.7z
build time: 2018.10.02
applicable models: Lenovo Z5
the compiler author: wzsx150
micro-blog account: wzsx150
team name: LR.Team
The optimizations/changes:
* Delete redundant languages, keep English, add Chinese language, default Chinese.
* Modify the default configuration, for example, the default time zone is East Eight Zone, default screen brightness, default vibration, default 24 hours, default return button on the right, default Chinese and so on.
* Modify the default configuration file path to reduce the possibility of conflicts with other people's compiled versions.
* Adjust and optimize the Chinese text and description, and re-edit all the items one by one, which is more accurate, understandable and humanized. Also added display mtp enable off display, file operation result display, operation page title display, permission description when modifying permissions, etc. UI text display.
* Modify the unlocking interface and adjust the height of the sliding unlocking bar, which can effectively prevent misoperation (the original unlocking bar and the operating unlocking bar are of the same height. When the unlocking is completed, the sliding may be repeated, and the corresponding action is directly operated).
* Open more partition backup and restore, such as modern baseband partition, bootloader, persist, cust and other partitions, easy to backup the underlying files before brushing, can restore the underlying files after brushing.
* Add .bin and .mbn format image files, so you don't need a zip brush package, you can write the underlying file. The original version only supports the brushing of .img format image files. (Be sure to pay attention to the selected partition!!!!)
* Solve the problem of interface jam when using the simulation operation (the simulation operation is mainly for testing the theme, and no actual operation).
* Add the manual installation root function in Advanced Options > root system. Add a display root system option on this basis for manual operation.
* Added the ability to unenforce encryption, in advanced options > Unforce Encryption. You can remove the official system to force encryption and cancel the check.
* Change the built-in root mode and add magisk as the default root mode.
* Fixed button and button operations for some interfaces.
* The adb/usb debug mode is enabled by default, which is convenient for operating the phone through the computer command line in rec mode.
* MTP is enabled by default. In the rec state, you can also connect your phone to your computer to facilitate file copying.
* Modify the logo interface, modify the header of the main interface page, and add the display phone model and team name, author name.
* Fix some logical relationships and modify some interface displays.
* Added clear root function
* Added clear power-on password function
* Added clear battery information function
* Added signature boot function
Notes:
Lenovo Z5 uses the A / B partition system, has the following characteristics:
1. boot partition and recovery are merged
2. b slot/partition is not a complete system, can not enter the system, so it is not recommended to switch b partition in twrp (A / B partition can be freely switched)
3. Many tools and apps may not be compatible with A/B partition phones.
4.A/B partition phones are more troublesome than ordinary mobile phones.
5. Why do I need to provide the same version of the boot image file in the mobile phone system?
A twrp that does not match the system version may result in the inability to use features such as WiFi after entering the system, or the system may crash.
6. If there is a problem with twrp, please use the fastboot flash boot boot.img command to brush into the official boot.img (same version as the phone), restore the official boot and recovery.

Well, you're not supposed to keep it as boot/kernel, flash twrp, flash back stock boot img, then root it with magisk
check OP for stock boot imgs

Flashed twrp. Got root access with magisk (checked with root checker) no WiFi. Flashed stock recovery after and no longer have root access. Help??

[Guide-WIP] How to Root the Pixel 3 XL

I don't have my device yet, but here's what someone with the device can do once you have unlocked your bootloader:
Update: This method will work once MagiskManager is patched to support the P3XL:
https://twitter.com/topjohnwu/status/1052993970303889418
1) Download the latest factory image from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/images#crosshatch
2) Extract the file to your pc somewhere. Inside the archive, there is a boot.img
3) Upload boot.img to /sdcard
4) Install Magisk Manager from the link below. You can use adb install from the command line, or upload to your phone and sideload it with some file manager app (Root explorer for example).
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v6.0.0/MagiskManager-v6.0.0.apk
5) Open Magisk Manager app and choose install. Select the boot.img file you uploaded in step 3
6) Copy the patched_boot.img file generated from Magisk Manager in step 5 to your pc.
7) Reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader) or Power off the phone completely, and hold volume down while you power it up.
8) fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
9) Reboot and check to see if you have root in Magisk Manager.
If this does not work or you get into a boot loop or it freezes, simply reboot to bootloader and flash stock boot.img from the factory image.

We need twrp

I believe this method would bypass the requirement for twrp. I won't be able to test until I get home tonight but I will try and update later.

Apparently Topjohnwu has confirmed that MagiskManager does not patch the boot image correctly, so this does not work as of yet. Will most likely need a new version of MagiskManager to get this working. I will modify the first post accordingly.

Welcome to the Magisk family, Pixel 3!
I originally planned to do more changes to Magisk Manager before a new public release, but I think people can't wait to root their shiny new Pixel 3, so here we go!
Up-to-date Documentations
Some subtle details, design choices, developer guides are all added to the documentations!
For most average users though, the most interesting part would be the tutorial: Best Practices for MagiskHide, please take some time and check it out!
Magisk Documentations
Boot Image Header v1
Google updated the boot image header format from v0 to v1 and was first used on the Pixel 3. The new header supports recovery DTBOs, which won't be used on any A/B devices, including Pixel 3 so that isn't the main issue here. The new format stores its version number to an originally unused entry in the header to determine whether the extended header entries is used. However in some freaking devices like Samsung's, they have been using the supposedly "unused" entry as the size of an non-AOSP "extra section" for quite a long time. magiskboot is designed to support extracting these extra sections (because people use Samsung), but with the introduction of header v1, the tool couldn't interpret the image properly, and thus generating invalid boot images.
magiskboot's boot image parsing, unpacking and repacking code was rewritten with C++ to utilize the more powerful language features due to the complexity (because I still need to support freaking PXA format headers used by old Samsung devices...)
MagiskSU Rewrite
Both the daemon and client side of MagiskSU is completely rewritten with improvements and optimizations, for example: simplified `su_info` caches, early ACK between daemon and client to prevent process freezing when denied, sending parsed command-line options instead of full arguments, and many more!
Samsung Defex Patches
A hexpatch for removing Samsung's new KNOX feature: Defex Safeplace was actually already introduced in previous releases, but that solution wasn't ideal since each new kernel release would generate different patterns. A more general patch (which is only a single CPU instruction!) was discovered and included into this new release.
Magisk-Modules-Repo Moderation
If you aren't aware, a team of zealous volunteer moderators were already starting to review new submission manually, being the gate keeper of our beloved Magisk-Modules-Repo. Hopefully this will prevent pointless/spam modules polluting the download section in Magisk Manager!

Thread closed as per OP request.

thank you for your work.
i tested first with zui5 and then zui10 they both booted successfully, the only problem i am facing is that vendor and persist doesnt mount, hence mobile network and wifi is not available, and you cant move past the activation screen, so i am working on that
it looks like it is not being mounted because of encryption, so i am force mounting it by flashing it in twrp.

I can't copy MUIU file to internal storage, it says file limit larger than device limit ?
It's more than 4gb

I am on Pie 9. Is that true if i flash MIUI 10, then using QFIL to flash stock Rom, and i can go back to stock???

How To Guide [GUIDE] Install LineageOS 19.1 with gapps

Notes:​* I am not a developer.
* I did all of this on Arch Linux, you shouldn't have trouble doing this on either Linux or Windows.
* See the Telegram group if you have issues - search for "Xiaomi 12 OFFICIAL" on TG, unfortunately cannot link directly to it on XDA.
* This is an unofficial version of LineageOS
* Thanks to @gr0ndpa whose writeup I based this guide on.
* Massive thanks to @ArianK16a who actually made LOS work on Xiaomi 12, despite Xiaomi breaking GPL licensing and not providing full kernel sources for Android 12
Prerequisites:​* Your bootloader must be unlocked. This thread does not cover this.
* You should use latest platform tools on Windows.
* Your device should be charged above 50%. Well, it doesn't have to be, but this is just for your phone's safety.
* Download 4 required .img files - boot, vendor_boot, dtbo and recovery from the latest build that has them all - rest miss recovery/vendor_boot, linking latest one at the time of writing for convenience
* Download latest ROM of your choosing (GMS=with gapps, VANILLA=no gapps) from arian-ota/ota
* If you intend to root the device with Magisk, also download latest boot.img
* Make a proper backup if needed and push it to another storage.
First steps:​* After you have unlocked the bootloader, device will reboot automatically. Finish the setup, enable developer settings and finally enable USB-Debugging in developer settings.
* In Windows open the folder in which you have unzipped the platform tools.
* Hold left shift and press right click, click "open powershell window here"
* Connect the phone via USB
* Execute the following in Windows Terminal and grant the permissions for this PC on your device:
Code:
adb devices
* Execute the following to either reboot to fastboot or fastbootd. Flashing works from either, I used fastbootd:
Code:
adb reboot fastboot # fastbootd
adb reboot bootloader # fastboot
The flashing procedure:​* Flash boot, vendor_boot, dtbo and recovery by executing the following in Windows Terminal:
Code:
fastboot flash boot lineage-19.1-20220618-UNOFFICIAL-cupid-boot.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot lineage-19.1-20220618-UNOFFICIAL-cupid-vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo lineage-19.1-20220618-UNOFFICIAL-cupid-dtbo.img
fastboot flash recovery lineage-19.1-20220618-UNOFFICIAL-cupid-recovery.img
* Finally execute the following, or reboot to recovery by holding VOLUME UP and POWER buttons until you see Mi logo on your device's screen:
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery # or bootloader
* If you get MIUI recovery, reboot back to fastboot, you should hopefully get LOS fastbootd now and be able to redo the steps and get LOS recovery next
Sideload the ROM from LOS recovery:​* ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED WITH THE NEXT STEP
* Go to Factory reset and perform Format data / Factory reset
* Go to Apply update, followed by Apply from ADB
* Execute the following Windows Terminal:
Code:
adb sideload lineage-19.1-20220810-UNOFFICIAL-GMS-cupid.zip
* Reboot your device
Rooting:​* Follow this thread but use the latest boot.img you downloaded earlier instead of the one from stock ROM.
Certification:​* If you won't fake the build prop to get certified status, you should at least follow Alphabet's instructions to make sure your device does not potentially get blacklisted from Play services
* Certification is required to run some apps - i.e. Netflix, Revolut, ...
* You can view certification state in Play store -> Profile -> Settings -> About -> Play Protect certification. This will cache the status. For a while, how to force the check again is shown down below
* Your device will not be certified on this ROM because it does not attempt to fake build props
* To get known good props for security update date and device fingerprint, you need either a rooted device with MIUI you want to extract the values from by executing the following in root adb shell:
Code:
grep -e fingerprint -e security_patch /system/build.prop
Or you can download latest recovery .zip from the download thread and open the file located in it from /META-INF/com/android/metadata in the archive

Known issues:​* Face recognition libraries are not included due to legal reasons, if one is interested in adding them, see the discussion starting here
* Minimum brightness is too bright. This can be mitigated by adding the "Extra Dim" card in the notification menu and long-pressing it to configure your desired intensity.
* When Smooth Display (120Hz) is enabled, screen flashes/redraws when it changes to and from 90Hz. This is more noticeable with lower brightness and no light in the room, and not really noticeable in daylight. Can be triggered by opening settings and typing a word and waiting half a second.
* Netflix(and only Netflix) is not available from the Play store on GSM ROM even with certification. Netflix provides an APK on their website, but that still gives me an unsupported device message. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/57688

Thanks for the great guide. I was able to install it without any issues whatsoever.

So is everything (including Fingerprint, all cameras, stereo speakers, BT, WiFi, Dual-SIM, VoLTE, VoWiFi, Fast charging) working?

除了人脸识别之外，一切都很好。
Translation: Everything is fine except for the face recognition.

Does the camera work with the original functions?
How long will this lineageOS be supported for the xiaomi12?
"Download 4 required .img files - boot, vendor_boot, dtbo and recovery from the latest build"
What does that mean, "4"? I see on the website ( https://github.com/arian-ota/ota/releases/tag/19.1-cupid_gms-2fd712b6 ) only 3 files to download?

xiaomi cam is not working on LOS ... you have to use gcam etc ...
read carefully ... you have to use these 4 files from 20220618 release and only the gms rom image from 20220810 ...

You can try to root the phone with Magisk and use Magisk hide.

Notes:​* I am not a developer.
* I did all of this on Arch Linux, you shouldn't have trouble doing this on either Linux or Windows.
* See the Telegram group if you have issues. - Edit Moderation -
* This is an unofficial version of LineageOS
* Thanks to @gr0ndpa whose writeup I based this guide on.
* Massive thanks to @ArianK16a who actually made LOS work on Xiaomi 12, despite Xiaomi breaking GPL licensing and not providing full kernel sources for Android 12
Prerequisites:​* Your bootloader must be unlocked. This thread does not cover this.
* You should use latest platform tools on Windows.
* Your device should be charged above 50%. Well, it doesn't have to be, but this is just for your phone's safety.
* Download 4 required .img files - boot, vendor_boot, dtbo and recovery from the latest build that has them all - rest miss recovery/vendor_boot, linking latest one at the time of writing for convenience
* Download latest ROM of your choosing (GMS=with gapps, VANILLA=no gapps) from arian-ota/ota
* If you intend to root the device with Magisk, also download latest boot.img
* Make a proper backup if needed and push it to another storage.
First steps:​* After you have unlocked the bootloader, device will reboot automatically. Finish the setup, enable developer settings and finally enable USB-Debugging in developer settings.
* In Windows open the folder in which you have unzipped the platform tools.
* Hold left shift and press right click, click "open powershell window here"
* Connect the phone via USB
* Execute the following in Windows Terminal and grant the permissions for this PC on your device:
Code:
adb devices
* Execute the following to either reboot to fastboot or fastbootd. Flashing works from either, I used fastbootd:
Code:
adb reboot fastboot # fastbootd
adb reboot bootloader # fastboot
The flashing procedure:​* Flash boot, vendor_boot, dtbo and recovery by executing the following in Windows Terminal:
Code:
fastboot flash boot lineage-19.1-20220618-UNOFFICIAL-cupid-boot.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot lineage-19.1-20220618-UNOFFICIAL-cupid-vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo lineage-19.1-20220618-UNOFFICIAL-cupid-dtbo.img
fastboot flash recovery lineage-19.1-20220618-UNOFFICIAL-cupid-recovery.img
* Finally execute the following, or reboot to recovery by holding VOLUME UP and POWER buttons until you see Mi logo on your device's screen:
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery # or bootloader
* If you get MIUI recovery, reboot back to fastboot, you should hopefully get LOS fastbootd now and be able to redo the steps and get LOS recovery next
Sideload the ROM from LOS recovery:​* ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED WITH THE NEXT STEP
* Go to Factory reset and perform Format data / Factory reset
* Go to Apply update, followed by Apply from ADB
* Execute the following Windows Terminal:
Code:
adb sideload lineage-19.1-20220810-UNOFFICIAL-GMS-cupid.zip
* Reboot your device
Rooting:​* Follow this thread but use the latest boot.img you downloaded earlier instead of the one from stock ROM.
Certification:​* If you won't fake the build prop to get certified status, you should at least follow Alphabet's instructions to make sure your device does not potentially get blacklisted from Play services
* Certification is required to run some apps - i.e. Netflix, Revolut, ...
* You can view certification state in Play store -> Profile -> Settings -> About -> Play Protect certification. This will cache the status. For a while, how to force the check again is shown down below
* Your device will not be certified on this ROM because it does not attempt to fake build props
* To get known good props for security update date and device fingerprint, you need either a rooted device with MIUI you want to extract the values from by executing the following in root adb shell:
Code:
grep -e fingerprint -e security_patch /system/build.prop
Or you can download latest recovery .zip from the download thread and open the file located in it from /META-INF/com/android/metadata in the archive
* Here's an example of the two values needed for my EEA device I got from the recovery zip:
Code:
2022-07-01
Xiaomi/cupid_eea/cupid:12/SKQ1.211006.001/V13.0.19.0.SLCEUXM:user/release-keys

Thanks @C0rn3j for the banger guide , and thanks @ArianK16a for the ROM, feels awesome to ditch this absolute cancer that is MIUI !
Performance and battery life is much better on LOS, a few features are missing but I guess we'll get them in a few weeks/months.
Much love ❣

Installed it two weeks ago, no root
- Camera not working but fixed after OTA update
- SMS issue (can send but cannot receive), fixed with firmware update
- missing calls (phone never rings...) applied firmware update, still testing
- Battery drain very high - fixed with disabling AOD (or at a glance...)
- Tethering (wifi and USB) not working, phone UI freezes
- Still having issues with Auto-brightness

Hotspot Is not working and the dev Is not working on It for now. It Is a big issue in my opinion. Have you try to get gpay working?

Hi
Since i have done the OTA i`m very cautious on what kernel to patch, i did not had time to check and double check.
But once i will root i will install the Magisk props and emulate a proper fingerprint, that should do the trick (it worked on my Xperia 5)

probably a stupid question but:
is faking a fingerprint possible without magisk, for example by editing a with adb pulled build.prop?

So wallet not working and hotspot not working?

Are things like fingerprint working with this? Pretty sad how small the custom rom community for this device is. Great phone but really sucks with MIUI. Hoping to flash this when i have time.

fingerprint works like a charm
