[HOW] Install / Sideload GApps (Google Play Store) on TCL Android TV / China TV 4.2.1 - Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV

I have recently acquired TCL 40E5800. It's a good Android TV at a very decent price. But the problem is that it came with its own App Store will less than 300 apps. From posts I read from Chinese sites and other brand of TVs. I have found out a solution to install / sideload GApps to this TV. And this is possible for it is running on Android based platform. So, this guide should also be applicable to any China TV running on Android.
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible if anything goes wrong with your Android TV. I am making this tutorial for future reference in case I have bricked my TV.

You will need the following for this guide:
1. ES File Manager
2. Droid Info
3. Package Installer
4. Total Commander with ADB Plugin
5. TCPUDP
6. gapps-jb-20121212-signed
STEP BY STEP GUIDE:
1. You will need to download ES File Manager from the TV App Store.
2. Connect Android smartphone to the same WiFi as TV. Install ES File Manager and Droid Info from Play Store in your smartphone. The reason you need to do this is that you cannot install app or apk from ES File Manager if your TV because it doesn't have Package Installer. It will just return an error saying "No application found."
3. From your smartphone, browse to APP folder, find Droid Info and click Install to TV. This will install Droid Info into your TV.
4. Go to your TV and run Droid Info. And look for this information:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Take note of the Model, OS Version, SDK, Density and Architecture.
Model and OS Version will help you determine the Google Play Services you need to install. You need to install specific version of Google Play Services for this to work. In my case, my TV model says: rtd299x_tv030. The last three digit or character usually determine the file version of Google Play Services you need to install. (This is just for future references. You don't need to worry information right now.)
To figure out the right version of Google Play services for your Android device, download Play Services info or go to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play services, and look at the last 3 numbers in the parentheses. You'll see something like -XYZ where:
* X defines Android version:
0 for Android <5.0
2 for Android 5.0 and 5.1 starting with Play Services v8
4 for Android 5.0 and 5.1 before Play Services v8, Android >= 6.0 after
5 for Android Wear
7 for Android 5.0
8 for Android TV
* Y defines CPU architecture:
1 for armeabi
3 for armeabi-v7a
4 for arm64-v8a
7 for x86
8 for x86_64
* Z defines DPI:
0 for universal
2 for 160
4 for 240
6 for 320
8 for 480
Notes:
It seems that -7YZ builds became -4YZ with Google Play services v6.5. If you were on -7YZ before, you should now install -4YZ.
It seems that -4YZ builds got split into -2YZ for Lollipop and -4YZ for Marshmallow with Google Play services v8. If you were on -4YZ before, you should now install -2YZ in Lollipop and -4YZ in Marshmallow.

SDK means the API level. Any app with API level above your SDK will not install it.
6. Now that you have all that info. Next thing you need to install is Package Installer. You need to search it and download the Package Installer that is for Android 4.2.1 for my TV Android OS Version is 4.2.1. Mine is attached below. Or you can browse Package Installer from your smartphone through ES File Manager. Go APP folder and select System App and you should see Package Installer and install it on TV. If this method, doesn't work for you, you can try ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) or Total Commander.
View attachment PackageInstaller.apk
7. Skip this step if you have managed to install Package Installer. For this guide, let us use Total Commander. For this step, just refer to this post here. You need to download the Document and read the Document for the link to Total Commander with ADB plugin is there. Just in case, you are confused, then you just need to open Total Commander and from the right side pane, choose ADB as the directory and then click the IP address of your TV and then browse to the [apps] folder. Here are some screenshot for your reference.
8. Now that you have able to install Package Installer, you can now install any apk file from ES File Manager. How cool is that, right? This is optional: You can now browse to XMBC, now Kodi website and download the apk version of Kodi (or you can download it here - ARM version for my TV has an Architecture of ARMv7). As you can see in my screenshot before that I have manage to install Kodi (look at the icon beside Package Installer, it's Kodi). See how cool is Kodi:
9. Next is installing GApps. You need to install the specific GApps version for your TV. Any other version will fail. This step is critical. Do not think if you have a TV running Android 4.2.1 that installing 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 are the same and it will work. You need to search the right GApps version for you. For this to work, you do not need to install just certain GApps. You need to install the WHOLE package. What I used was a package from a custom ROM, Cyanogen. This GApps package will install entire GApps to your TV. Choose the right GApps for you here. Mine was gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
10. Download and extract the GApps package. We can't install the package through flashing it from recovery. So, we need to install it manually through Total Commander and ADB. First is by Total Commander. For the left side pane, browse to the directory where you have extracted the GApps package and copy everything in the system folder to the root folder of your TV. From the screenshot before, it should be like this:
The left side pane is where you extracted the GApps package. The right side pane should be the root folder of your TV, i.e. "\\\ADB\TV IP Address:5555\*.*" Then click "F5 Copy". If there are files that need to be overwritten then just select "Skip". DO NOT OVERWRITE. This way you did not just install GApps into the system folder but you also installed its needed library for it to work.
11. The next step should be to correct its permission. We will do this through ADB. Connect PC to the same WiFI as your TV. And use TCPUDP for this to work. How to make this work, you can read it from the same Document (about Total Commander) that you have downloaded. Or you can simply install ADB to your PC (search how to install ADB) and then type in the command "adb connect (tv IP address:5555)". What I did: I used TCPUDP. Click "CreateConn" and a dialogue appears. Be sure to select UDP under Type box. Then enter TV IP address in DestinationIP box. Leave Port box to 8090. Then click "Create". After that, under Client Mode, you can see the connection to your TV. Select it, and then select TCP for the Type. Then click "Connect'. After that, type "start adb" in the first big box. Then click "Send". After that you will see "ok" into the second big box. For your reference, here are some screenshots:
12. Open Command Prompt. Navigate to where you installed your ADB. If you downloaded the Total Commander from the Document, then you can find ADB installed in its Plugin folder, i.e. "TotalCmd\Plugins\wfx\ADB". Then type the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS
adb shell chmod -R 0644 /system/app/*.*
adb reboot
13. Let your TV reboot. After reboot open Google Play Store. DO NOT OPEN ANY OTHER GApps. Then you may have to log in your Google Account. Then enjoy installing millions of apps from Google Play Store, as well as in Google Play Games.
14. If you however opened some GApps that is not Google Play Store. Then it will create some error. You may find some error regarding some certain GApps failed to respond. Just click "OK". And you may also found out that Google Play Store is no longer listed in your TV App main page. Just use ES File Manager and browse to System Apps and open it there.
15. Updating and downloading apps from the Google Play Store may be take too long but just wait. It will download eventually. Enjoy GApps. I have finally cracked this one.
Don't forget to say thanks.

j ai une tv chinoise dont les caracteristique sont identique a la TCL 40E5800 sauf que la mienne est un 50 pouces,j ai donc suivit scrupuleusement votre tutoriel et j ai reussi a installer les service google play donc j ai pu me connecter a gmail et youtube avec mon compte google,c est vraiment genial;merci beaucoups.
cependant j ai un probleme le google play store ne s afficge pas sur ma tv quand j accede via es explorer je peut le lancer mais ne telecharge pas les applications,et je voudrais aussi si c est possible de rooter ma tv je vous serai gré s il ya une possibilité de le faire
de m aider merci mille fois
ma tv est monter en algerie elle porte la reference suivante Condor U 8100 50u8100

You're welcome. I'm thinking that this is French. I used Google Translate. Well, about Google Play Store... This TV model is really outdated now... I can't find any Google Services version now that will work for this TV. The solution is just to sideload everything.
About rooting, I tried KingoRoot, King Root, any quick rooting apps works here. However, these kind of rooting apps contains a lot of ads and bloatwares.

Bonjour
Désolé de vous déranger une fois de plus et je vous remercie de votre patience
Ma tv à les même caractéristiques que la vôtre et comme elle est obsolète j aimerai savoir si c est possible de changer de carte mère pour avoir un cpu plus puissant est une mémoire interne de plus grande capacité si oui quel carte mère utiliser je vous remercie infiniment
Cordialement

No worries. But for that question, I am sorry I do not know the answer. I have a very little knowledge about hardware. However, in my own point of view, its better to buy or use a TV box rather than replacing the motherboard.

hi my android tv has android 6.0
Which gapps should i use?
thanks

You may find the right version here:
https://opengapps.org/

May I understand your instruction on installing Google services on Android TV is meant to be for a rooted TV ? That is to say, I need to Root or no root required ? I just owned a TCL China Android TV and since google services are blocked. This is something that i need to try out.

Not necessarily root. You can apply it even without root.

Hi, one question. It's not letting me copy to the root folder of my Android TV. Am I missing something? Do I need root privileges on Total Commander or something like that?
---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------
Nevermind, I was missing the root permissions explained on the Document from the other thread.

I do have a question. I can't edit "system" on Total Commander, even having adb root enabled. I can paste stuff on the root folder but system is not letting me place files, create folders or anything.
---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------
Nevermind, I just noticed that you need to mount system as RW to edit it. There's a lot of misinformation in this thread.

After running adb root... you need to change permission for "system" folder... change it so that you cannot just read but also write into it.

Hey @pancit, my tv is running android 6.0, I downloaded gapps from opengapps but I coudn't figure out how to install this using Total Commander, as the file tree is completely different than the Android 5.0 you used in the example.

i'm sorry for the late reply... and i'm sorry I really can't answer your question... i have a different setup now... i bought SHIELD and its working for me... no more hassle... no more working around... the bad news for almost all android tv is that they almost come with OS or android version that they set up.... and its fixed.. no more updates... and also the apps are limited... it is just how they programmed it... thats why you need to workaround with it just to sideload apps...

Hi,
i didn't really understand from 10. to 13.
I allowed developers option on the TV.
i downloaded gapps to my tv using a browser, and extracted it on the tv using es file explorer, so does it mean I don't need total commander?
also, i didn't understand what to do after the files are extracted on the TV. can you please explain? I have ADB on my PC.

Hello...
I'm really sorry.... I cannot help you... I no longer have my China Android TV with me... So, I could no longer assist you... And this post is already old. It's no longer updated. Maybe, there are lots of factors now to be considered.

I tried to follow your instruction for my android tv 9 (a xiaomi vogue projector) which could not go to fastboot mode. When I follow your instructions, I could not execute the following. for some reasons adb root is ok.
--------
Code:
C:\totalcmd\plugin\bin>adb root
C:\totalcmd\plugin\bin>adb remount
Not running as root. Try "adb root" first.
----------------------------
also this one is throwing error
Code:
C:\totalcmd\plugin\bin>adb shell pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS
Exception occurred while executing:

I also want to know if you have tried those steps for Android 9? It would be great if you could maybe assist.
I'm curious if the copying gapps on total commander is actually working(see attachment). How do I verify that it's been copied?
Thanks

I'm not sure about that adb root.... maybe you can try "adb shell su" command instead...
I don't know what's the cause of the error.. Did you try to make sure you got the right app? right OS version, architecture, etc...
Nope... I wasn't able to try it with Android 9...
From that screenshot, I'm afraid it is not just simple as copying the files. You may need to run that command script installer to install that GApps. You will know you have copied or install the GApps correctly if you can see the actual Google Apps in your TV.

Yup I have checked that I have the right APKs and sadly I didn't the Google Apps on my projector. I highlighted all on Total commander and clicked F5 to copy. I wonder if that's the still the same button.
adb shell su is not available because I don't have root access.
I can use "adb install" to install the apks from my computer to the projector but those other certs and xmls on gapps.zip can't be installed through that way sadly.

No Longer Possible to ReInstall Apps via Kies (Paid/Free)

I wonder if anyone else has noticed that Samsung has "tightened up security" in kies, and hence it is no longer possible to reinstall your apps in same phone (once you delete it or format memory card). It does not matter whether it is a paid or free apps.
When you try to install from My Downloads (or from Purchase History), kies will display the following error message:
The selected App cannot be used with the phone currently connected.
You can only install this App on one phone at a time.
We just pray that this is a bug and that it will be fixed soon. Otherwise...
Good news though, you can still install your apps directly from mobile phone.
ssame problemmm!!
there isn't any problem for me

... please DON'T use a wording like that. It sounds like you know for sure, as you used "notiched that Samsung *has*", instead of "might have", or "Kies will" instead of "Kies might".
This is some bad issue in SamsungApps. There are some known problems when your downloads & Co. are imported from your Profile from Kies.
I had this issue when I switched from Bada 1.0 and 1.2
There's another problem: don't download apps from your phone without making sure you're logged in. If you're not, they won't be imported and downloadble from Kies!
So I have the problem that I can't d-l several apps from Kies. Also Samsung can't (at least they say so) add it manually.
Please head over to samsungapps.com > my questions > be as precise as possible and provide screenshots (from the app-pages on your phone, so they see "Start" instead of "Load").
Yeah, I've noticed this problem yesterday. It occurs that many people have the same.
Probably it's just a bug which reveals while applying new version of SamApps (at least I do hope so).
I think that this might be connected:

How big is the chance that this is just a coincidence??

Setialpha,
Please before you criticise, try to fully understand the contents of the arguement.
The word "wonder" is enough to tell that we are guessing, surprised at, if Samsung has "tightened up security". Note the quotes, used to play at the words.
From all indications, this is a known problem that started yesterday, 22nd September, 2011. Lots of other users have confirmed the same problem since yesterday. Verify from other forums. If you are still lucky not to have experienced it, try it; format your drive and try to reinstall your Apps. Come back and tell us your experience.
Have a nice day.
Report this Bug Immediately
On kies go to samsung apps then click my page which is near the top right of the kies window.
Once there go to my Q&A then Kies will redirect you to the Samsung website where
your page is then you can report the bug directly to support.
Im doing this right now.
Im sure its pretty much a bug since according to the terms of service you are allowed to download any number of times a paid app for one year.
Just report it so they can probably fix it.
Yes, this bug has been reported to Samsung even before I post.
I just hope they will receive more complaints and act quickly.
Thanks.
oh guys
It is not a bug
it is security thing
you buy app for this phone...your phone's IMEI is written in the kies app package
So when you try to install the app to another phone it refuse
this was hacked before to install paid apps through kies
Now packages are encrypted so this hack is dead now
Best regards

Mylove, no, this is not a case of hacking. It's a bug.
We are talking of paid or free Apps installed in the same phone. Not different phones.
Apps that are already in Purchase History of phone with IMEI xyz, can no longer be reinstalled (in case it was deleted or card formatted) to same phone with IMEI xyz through kies.
For those who flash their phones always, please note that you may not be able to reinstall the Apps you had on the same phone again (either paid or free), after flashing.
Though this problem is only with kies on PC. It does not exist when you install directly on phone.
Maybe a new kies version is on the way. The version that will usher in the bada 2.0.
I also reported this problem via MyQ&A in polish Samsung Apps.
This is a bug and Samsung MUST fix it quickly. Check information in Support tab on Samsung Apps site: samsungapps.com/faq/getfaqDetail.as?faqId=21
Re-downloading an application 14-Sep-2011 update

You can download purchased applications with no time limit.
You can even re-download applications if you have not completed the installation after purchase, if the application has been deleted."

Actually you wrote "I wonder whether people noticed", not "I wonder whether Samsung did", that why I wrote that reminder. If you feel critized, that hasn't been my intention. Though I already noticed some at this forum are thin-skinned.
errr... I just said I did have that problem twice, so why should I do that?
Ok it is obviously a bug
Maybe at this point Samsung should KILL kies
kies did a lot of problems lately...Why not to kill it?!

I will add that I've just downloaded so called spoofer and tried to install an app from my history that I can't install normally by kies. I used for this some free of charge app that I haven't installed before and it worked.
Of course it was just to prove something.
well theres no problem in my kies
Spoofing using existing downloaded apps restricted...
Well its not bug or anything... Actually that was a result of upgradation of Samsung against spoofing... Now spoofing cannot be done using existing downloaded apps... now we have to download a new apps frm Kies to spoof using applist(New spoofing method)...

You're wrong. It has nothing to do with spoofing. Even bought apps can't be installed.

Please this has nothing to do with spoofing.
We are talking about legally purchased Apps (and free Apps) previously installed.
Now it is impossible to reinsatall them via kies.
It's a problem with kies.
Because you can still reinstall these Apps on mobile directly (via WIFI/GPRS) but not through kies.
Kies is sooo buggy!
Its the only program on my pc that makes me nervous each time there is an "upgrade" because most of the time it just frustrates me like remember the latest kies update that caused the samsung apps store to dissappear from kies?
And the workaround was to go to the registry and change the region from USA to whatever your location is?
Did samsung release an update to fix this problem?
No, as usual, users have to get on the net and look for work-arounds for this issue.
Somebody at samsung's programming department is covering up their ass and they pretend the problem doesnt exist.
Now this new bug seems to be on the server side, since kies has to be online each time to install an app even if the app has been downloaded already to get approval or whatever from the server.
Tsk, the kies programmers have to work harder, damn it!
No Longer Possible to ReInstall Apps via Kies
Bonjour,
J'ai le même problème depuis 8 jours, et même en remettant un kies plus ancien cela ne change rien. Je pense que c'est fait exprès, puis en réinstallant depuis le téléphone ça marche (mais plus de possibilité de spoofing avec Applist !)
Je ne pense pas que ce soit un bug. Pas grave, il y a tellement d'applications gratuites ... on en choisit une autre pour le spoofing LoL

Pas entièrement d'accord, car en Ré-installant dans le MÊME téléphone cela ne marche pas. Par contre un peu logique que ce soit refusé si on essaie d'installer dans un autre téléphone.
Je pense qu'ils ont augmenté le niveau de sécurité, donc c'est vrai ce n'est surement pas un bug.

Great work :good:
Can you please make the instructions more clear. I'm a noob and never rooted or unlocked bootloader on anything so I have no idea what chmod is lol.
I downloaded the file then ran it, then it said this is not a nexus device . I have my nexus player plugged in and the latest drivers are installed. Help would be great, thanks! :]
If I'm reading the script correctly, it doesn't install TWRP for the Nexus Player yet.
Other than that, I like the simplicity of this.

Other than that, I like the simplicity of this.

@OathYvne I can certainly try! I don't own the Nexus Player, as I'm a broke college student, but try this:
Connect your device, open a terminal window, and run these commands:
For a Mac:
Code:
~/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb shell getprop ro.product.model
~/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb shell getprop ro.product.name
For Linux:
Code:
~/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/linux-i386-adb shell getprop ro.product.model
~/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/linux-i386-adb shell getprop ro.product.name
And paste the results here! this helps me figure out what google calls these devices exactly, so I can get them to work properly
@LecheConCarnie It doesn't install TWRP, as TWRP doesn't exist for the Nexus Player! Or the Nexus Q for that matter.

I get that it doesn't exist. But your first post is misleading since it says "Install TWRP".

Ah, yes. I'll add some changes to that...
I'm getting lost somewhere along the way when using this tool. When I attempt to unlock the bootloader, the nexus player isn't giving me the option to accept. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Stuck on "waiting for device" when trying to unlock bootloader. Adb works good, fastboot seems to be stuck.
When you're installing drivers (in Windows), you need to do one for adb and you'll need another for fastboot. Each needs to be done with your device in that specific mode. So, get the NP in the bootloader and then add the fastboot driver in your device manager.

Sorry, forgot to specify I was using Ubuntu. Ended up using Windows and finally got fastball to work it no adb , lol. Oh well, did what I needed to do.
What am I doing wrong if I try to root my nexus player (running 5.1) and your script is telling me that this is not a nexus device? Used Windows 8 btw.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
both with your script and manually i get stcuk at <waiting for device>. any suggestions? am on ubuntu with Nplayer running 5.1.1
also stuck on "This is not a Nexus device" after allowing to install a bunch of tools. on Mac OS. any help is appreciated.
Hi !
I try your script v0.11 for my nexus 9 under Ubuntu 14.04 64bit . Sadly, I got the following error :

This is not a Nexus device. This utility only supports Nexus devices.
Press [Enter] to exit the script.
Have got any idea why ?
I seem to be stuck in a loop. I am on OS X 10.9.5, and have the latest xcode for that version installed and have installed the command line utilities. The problem is that the script doesn't seem to be detecting the installed versions as running it results in a request to install these things again and again.

Finally Xposed installer Now :)

steps dont work
can we apply this method on Qnet Mobile phone
I got into some kind of loop with this method. My phones takes forever to boot, then it says it's optimizing my applications, then it reboots and repeats the process.
There's no way to turn it off, so I guess I'll have to wait until its battery runs off.

[Guide][TWRP][Recovery][Root] Leagoo T5C (Spreadtrum SC9853i)

Hello everyone.
I'm no expert, but I bought the Leagoo T5C and I tried to flash TWRP and and to use it to root the phone, and after hours of digging through the 4pda thread with Google Translate and some trial-and-error I succeeded.
I'd like to share with you what I did in the form of a guide.
As always, I take no responsibility if this bricks your phone.
Prerequisites:
1. My phone came with the ROM version OS2.1_E_20180310, if yours differ you can download the 20180310 ROM from the Leagoo website:
http://www.leagoo.com.my/support/firmware/
This procedure may or may not work for other ROMs. I don't know.
2. Download this archive:
http://www.mediafire.com/?03sggy76mqouj16
It contains all the necessary files.
Alternatively, download all the files used from their sources:
original_boot.img and twrp3.0.3full.img (by jemmini) downloaded from 4pda:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=871989&view=findpost&p=72084529
patched_boot.img (by leo2m) downloaded from 4pda:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=871989&view=findpost&p=70143767
Magisk-v17.1.zip (by topjohnwu) downloaded from XDA:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
(Before Magisk I tried SuperSU but it failed to install)
3. You will need the ADB+Fastboot binaries. If you don't have them you can get them here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
4. Copy twrp3.0.3full.img and Magisk-v17.1.zip to your ADB directory on the PC.
Copy original_boot.img and patched_boot.img to your phone's storage.
optional: Install leagoo T5C ADB driver.
The only driver that worked for me was this driver from Xiaomi:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/tools/xiaomi_usb_driver.rar
(8,672,261 bytes, CRC32: B62ED7DB)
optional: Allow unlocking the bootloader (OEM unlock) and usb debugging from developer options (If you don't know how to get to the developer options google it). I did this prior to everything but I don't think this step is necessary (although it can't hurt).
Lets start:
1. Put the phone in fastboot mode, either by adb (adb.exe reboot bootloader) or by entering stock recovery and selecting to reboot to fastboot.
To enter recovery turn off the phone and then hold both the power button and Vol- button together until you see the lcd turn on. Then you can release both buttons.
2. Connect the phone to the PC via usb and install the fastboot drivers (mine installed automatically so I don't know where to download from).
3. Open a command prompt and flash the recovery and boot images by executing the commands:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery twrp3.0.3full.img
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
The phone will reboot to the Android OS.
4. Enter recovery by button press (see step 1) or by ADB (adb.exe reboot recovery).
5. Now, this is the tricky part. TWRP will work but only for a few seconds and then the phone reboots. Took me a few tries but I managed to make it stop rebooting by quickly swiping to allow modifications then quickly rebooting to recovery (TWRP>Reboot>Recovery).
6. I installed the original boot (TWRP>Install>Install image>original_boot.img) but I don't think this step is necessary (If you choose to do this DON'T EXIT TWRP until you do step 7).
7. Install Magisk.
8. Reboot to system.
You're done!
Help me please
Sir, can u give me files (boot.img &recovery.img) from stock rom? Please. I wanna back to stock, replace twrp. This because I can't flash rom with spd flashtool. Spd flashtool need stock recovery, right??
Please help me
I can't download from 4pda, maybe it's removed or something like no available.
Thanks Sir
Done
I can get that file from .pac
Use spd flashtool. Load the pac then open folder image in spd folder
Boot&recovery now back to stock
Now my problem is i can't flash by spd flashtool. I use research download.exe
Nv_Lte , secvm; progress failed: uart send error
Disaster!
Ciao a tutti,sono nuovo e non so bene se stó scrivendo nel posto giusto, però vi ringrazio comunque per l'attenzione. Ho fatto un macello,in modalità recovery con twrp,ho swippato per errore la pulizia dell'intero sistema. Perciò ora non c'è più nulla. Resta solo la scritta android perennemente accesa,fino a batteria scarica. E da pc non riesco a trovare il modo di reinserire né recovery,né fastboot nemmeno collega il bootloader. Qualcuno saprebbe indicarmi cosa posso fare per reinstallare l'intero sistema? Vi ringrazio comunque, e buona giornata. Fredy84. This language is Italian

Hi guys,
It's been a while, and I don't know if this thread is still alive, though by the look of it (last post goes back a couple weeks), it should be.
I too have a Leagoo T5c, that I bought on GearBest in December 2017, so I got one of the first ones to hit the market, I presume.
Phone still works fine, aside from the battery that holds charge less and less as time goes by, but that's to be expected.
The point of my posting here is, Where can I find the *truly* latest ROM for this phone? I try OTA every once in a while, and the phone tells me the 20180310 update is the latest, but on NeedRom, they "offer" (for a fee, which I refuse to pay for such a bargain phone) a ROM that goes back to August of 2018.
I don't want to shell out an extra-dime for this phone, which serves its purpose day to day. I only want to install the latest security updates and a newer Android version if it comes in the package, otherwise I'll make do with what I have until I can buy a more recent phone.
So, can anyone point me in the direction of a *free* (as in, free beer) and more recent than March 2018 ROM download for my Leagoo T5c?
Hi stuff!!! nice to see u again ?
my latest .pac is August release. I not use it, because mine is totally dead
https://cutt.ly/4UglyStuff
when the future come, buy xiaomi snapdragon.
much better
that .pac from 4pda
I have told you on your OP

Hi iYanLiD!
Yep, it's been a while. Lots of work, too little time, but that question was always at the back of my mind. I too am waiting for the right opportunity to buy a more modern phone. If I can, I'll go with the new Pixel 4a, I think, because it checks all the right boxes for me: great photo, good storage (128GB, non-extensible, though), decent RAM (6GB is a minimum, these days), and a 3.5 mm jack audio, plus you have the guarantee of immediate security updates, which I sorely miss with the Leagoo, however good it is for the price in other areas.
Thanks for the .pac, man (got it?) I'm downloading it right now. Will install it over the weekend, I'll let you know if I bricked my phone or not... :laugh:
See ya!
wish u all dbest man!
if I have opportunity, I will get redmi 10x pro.
it's mediatek, but it's okay
other specs really suits me
I'm waiting your t5c news ??

Well, I've got everything I need, but the flashing application just won't recognize my device. Drivers are installed, application starts, loads the .pac file, but the line where my device is supposed to be is void, so clicking on the Download button doesn't do anything.
I'm not trying to root my device here, just trying to flash a more recent ROM, so any help and advice would be most welcome.
EDIT: scratch that, apparently, you have to press ALL the physical buttons at once to install. That is, the Power button and both the Volume Up and the Volume Down buttons.
My phone is now running the ROM gently supplied by iYanLiD. I just have to reinstall my apps, and my music. Can't live without it. Thanks a bunch, and see you next time (à la GSM Arena)!
I gotta hand it to you, C4lculated, you had it down pat... Almost... In my case, I had to reinstall bootloader drivers from Device Manager because otherwise, I was stuck with the infamous "waiting for device" message in Command Line.
After that, everything went well, and my T5c is now rooted... And still working... So far, so good!
Now, I made the mistake (?) to backup the factory image AND the installed image, which means I'm now down over 10GB in storage because of that. Is there a way in TWRP to delete one or the other, and reclaim at least 3.5GB?
hi UglyStuff
how about:
Twrp > mount > check 'system' > back > advanced > file manager. Navigate to the file and choose 'delete'.
or file explorer root?
or maybe titanium backup
please be careful
Actually, I did that directly from file explorer when in Android, then rebooted the phone, and everything was OK.
That was ***before*** I tried to install Android 11 on my phone, that is... (facepalm emoji)
Hi guys, today after thousands of experiments i try to flash my leagoo t5c rom. Later 200: uart errors!!!At least,i start every driver and tools for windows than i download from web,i'll take original Rom from Leagoo site and the tools,after various problems and tools,for many different errors,i see a tutorial,and them...The secret is,when u got to start download whit spd tool(really i used UPGREADABLE,or something same but it's chinese version similar of SPD), at phone off, push up and down volume at firsts 15 20 seconds of download. I hope it working as mine. Sorry i'v not link,cause download become in a lucky moment. Says me if for u is the same! Bye!

The best flashing tool is the one Leagoo provides on their support page (here; download link: here), along with the latest official build, date March 2018.
My own T5c runs the August 2018 build iYanLiD was kind enough to supply (here), and is now rooted too, though I honestly don't see the point now, given that update/upgrade is still out of the question due to the exotic SoC this phone has.
I've installed a couple interesting Magisk module, like the one that brings OnePlus fonts and gimmicks (it's called "Oxy-ify") and one called "ACC" that's supposed to better regulate battery charging, though I don't see much of a difference, to be honest.
I'm thinking about unrooting the phone, wipe out the whole drive with TWRP, and flashing the August 2018 ROM again, this time for good.
This phone will forever stay on Nougat anyway, so why bother flashing ROMs until we're blue in the face?

RetroArch UWP (ARM) Release - [N64, ScummVM...]

Hi,
I would like to share with you this release of RetroArch for ARM devices
Over 70 Core successfully compiled and tested on low end device,
Including N64 core with GPU render (Which is very rare)
Version: 1.15.5
Platforms:
Any Windows on ARM (with UWP Support)
Window 10 Mobile (More details? ask here)
Lowest Build: 15035+ (14393 with few cores)
This release contains the latest ANGLE library (by Google) that used to make OpenGL ES supported
Also I made many improvements for UWP functions,
and reverted back the incompatible functions for the lower builds.
Download: Get it from Here​
WindowsRT?
Recently I discovered that RetroArch (UWP) required DirectX feature level 11.x
and this was probably cause crash on WinRT,
so please use release marked with `GL` if `D3D` crashed
Note 1: Some cores are using "Interpreter" which is very slow on low end devices, we need "dynamic re compiler" to these cores.
Help me add Dynarec for Flycast: GitHub Issue here
Spoiler: Installation

Spoiler: Load Content
By default you can access to the content using
Playlists
Local 'Downloads' folder
'LocalState' folder
Pick your custom folder
I made some improvements on the picker process so,
RetroArch will remember the last picked folder so you can open it again
Recommended: I advice you to always select root folder for all games
--------------------------
Create Playlists:
Playlists is nice solution to organize your games
also you can access to any playlist later without browsing any folder

1- Press on 'Playlists' icon near to home icon at the bottom​2- Select 'Import Content'​3- Select 'Manual Scan'​4- Select 'Content Directory'​--Click 'Open'​--Select your target folder, like 'DS Games'​--After confirm click on 'Scan This Directory'​5- Scroll to 'Default Core' and select the core​6- Scroll to the end then click 'Start Scan'​7- Your 'Playlist' will be ready in 'Playlists' menu​8- Repeat the process for each folder you have​9- Done, you can access the games anytime​
Spoiler: Touch GamePad
By default RetroArch will not place any touch pad on the screen
To activate the touch pad do the following:
Be sure you have 'Update Overlays' in 'Online Updater'
Go to 'Settings' at the bottom
Scroll to 'On-Screen Display' and press on it
Then select 'On-Screen Overlay'
Scroll to 'Overlay Preset'
A lot of presets will be available choose what you want
---------------------------
Note: You can customize this option later from the game by pressing back button
after the menu appear scroll to 'On-Screen Overlay' and do the same steps
Spoiler: Interface
If you felt that the default interface is a bit big
You can scale it down:
Go to 'Settings' at the bottom
Scroll to 'User Interface'
Select 'Appearance'
Select 'Menu Scale Factor'
Choose what is good for you
After confirm the result go to 'Home'
Scroll to 'Configuration File'
Click on 'Save Current Configuration'
Done
Spoiler: Menu Style
The default menu called 'glui' (for Mobile), It's compatible with the mobile interface and very fast
but if you want to change the menu please note:
1- Menu 'ozone' is compatible with 'dxd11'​--To Goback inside the menus press on the bottom bar​​2- Menu 'rgui' is compatible with any video driver and fast​--To Goback inside the menus press on the top bar​​3- Menu 'xmb' is compatible with 'dxd11' and work fine with 'gl'​but 'xmb' is not user friendly for mobile and need a controller to navigate better​
How to change it?
Go to 'Settings' at the bottom
Select 'Drivers'
Scroll to 'Menu'
Choose the menu you want
before exit and apply change the compatible video driver
Quite RetroArch
Reopen, Done
Spoiler: Shaders
Shaders can add magical touch to the game
To enable shaders be sure you have 'Update GLSL/Slang Shaders' from 'Online Updater'
Steps:
Open the game
Press back button to In-Game menu
Scroll down to 'Shaders'
Enable 'Video Shaders'
Select 'Load'
Choose whatever you want
Done
Note 1: Some shaders could reduce the performance but most of them fast
Note 2: GLSL shaders will work only when the video driver set to GL
Spoiler: Free Content
Libretro is providing free content and some roms for testing
to get these files do the following:
Open 'Online Updater'
Select 'Content Downloader'
Download whatever you want
Downloaded rom will be exist at 'Load Content' -> 'Downloads'
Done
Spoiler: GLES Support
The fact about GLES 2.0, 3.0 support is: Microsoft using ANGLE library to translate the OpenGL ES call to DirectX
so at the end we are using DirectX.
That's led to few visual issues in the cores that support GLES and I'm working very hard to find solutions asap.
Spoiler: Non-UWP Support
Many of the compiled cores could work on the ARM release of RetroArch (NON-UWP)
Go to the download link above and download the cores separately from my Repo then add them to the Retoarch in 'cores' folder

Spoiler: Known Issue
I guess there is known issue in libretro cores,
When the performance is low try ONE of the following:
Pause the game for seconds then resume
Rotate the screen
in some cases it will back to the normal speed
If you found any thing not clear, or you faced any issue while installing.. please let me know I will be happy to help.
Many thanks.

It should work fine, unless your system build is 14393 or below.

I have the build 15035 (the only windows 10 on RT… unfortunately) perhaps if there is no build testing (min or max) it’s could be great

Try this version, I re-targeted the package to 14393 and merged the cores from the latest release in case it worked, so you will not missed any core.
Download RetroArch (Latest)
UPDATE (New readers): For WinRT Use release that marked "No DirectX"
Hope it will work fine (don't forget to re-install the certificate)
Nice !!! Thank you a lot, it works ...(and in French ...it's better for me)

Great.. I'm happy to hear that,
Can you help me to test this release:
Download RetroArch (Latest)
UPDATE (New readers): For WinRT Use release that marked "No DirectX"
I noticed that any release compiled with Visual Studio 2022 will crash on older builds
but the MSVC 2017 release worked fine.
I hope it will work for you as well
Thank you for your answer. Sorry for the long time between yours and my answer.
I'm testing this version, but it crash when open Rétro Arch : There is the logo and the app closing.

Thanks, I really appreciate your help.. just one last request try again and after the crash go directly to "Event Viewer" from:
- Start Search
- Or Windows+R then type eventvwr
Then:
- Select Windows Logs
- Select Applications
You should find error log related to RetroArch at the top..
Just do screenshot for the details so I can understand what exactly is getting failed.
Many thanks for your time.

Hi,
I am trying this versione on the same machine and windows of Timdu66 but I can't install the certificate. It returns error if installing on local machine.
Error is on rundll32.exe - the parameter is incorrect
Is thera a way to work it out?

Not sure if the system is missing something, but try the following:
1- Open 'Start Menu'
2- Search for 'certmgr'
3- Select "Manage Computer Certificates"
4- Right click on "Trusted People"
5- Select "All Tasks"
6- Then choose "Import"
and follow the instructions.
(Another solution) Alternative method (if there is no other solution):
1- Turn on Developer mode (Settings->Privacy & Security->For developers)
2- Extract the package with '7z' or any archive app (to D:\RetroArch) as example
3- Register the package with 'powershell' (Win+R-> type 'powershell')
4- Run the following command:
Code:
Add-AppxPackage -Register D:\RetroArch\AppxManifest.xml
Hope it will work.
