Unbricking LG LU6200

DISCLAIMER: Not my work, Tutorial followed from : http://choimobile.vn/threads/unbrick-lg-lu6200-ghim-cap-qhsusb-khong-thao-may.8448.html
Hi
I have been using LU6200 from last one year, and I loved this phone. I have tested many roms, and was using 4.4.2 CM11 rom. Then I installed an app from Play store, which modified the kernel, and booted my phone.
At this stage, my phone was totally dead, no screen indication, no light, no sound. Only one thing, is that when I connect my USB cable to computer, my computer try to install driver and also make sound of USB connection and disconnection.
So below are he steps which I have performed
MUST: KEEP YOUR PHONE ATTACHED WITH USB CABLE TO PC

Winhex - Forensic or Specialist version full not evaluation and registered. I have found only one version [WinHex 17.SR1.rar] which worked for me, not remember where from I downloaded this
Follow this tutorial http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/ to run your OS in Advance mood where we have to disable DRIVER SIGNATURE ENFORCEMENT
When you have booted into windows after disabling driver signature, install the 1st Link file,
Install the Driver, when Installed it will show a COM Port installed, QUALCOMM one
Install the Softwares, default path will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\
You also have items in your start menu, so run
1, In the "Start Menu" -> "QPST" -> "QPST Configuration" RUN This
2, Select the tab "PORT" and click "Add New Port ..."
3. A new window will open where the COM port which is newlly added to your system will be listed, select that port and add that
{
"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"
}
Keep that running
4 Go to the "Start Menu" -> "QPST" -> eMMC Software Downloadapp " RUN THIS
4.1 Uncheck, Program MMC Device
4.2 Click Browse, it displayed me PHONE ATTACHED with QUALCOM details near the top right of the image, where No ports Active is written
4.3 Check Search Path 2 and Browse to you files, where you have downloaded 3rd file. Which contains one hex, one img and mbn file
4.4 In the Flash Programming File name, enter the name of hex file
4.5 in boot image, enter the mbn file name
4.6 Click DOWNLOAD
at this point, it mounted me a 200kb drive which was not formatted. I have formatted that, and then kept this program running in the background as well
5. Winhex
5.1 Run Winhex, Make sure you have forensic version, and also Full version ,there are evolution version too, but that will not work. FULL VERSION and FORENSIC/SPECIALIST License is must
5.2 In Winhex, go to "File", "Restore Image", Change the file type from "WHX" to "Raw Image container"
5.5 Select lu6200.img from the 3rd file downloaded
5.5 Now it will ask for Target disc
5.6 Carefully select the QUALCOM, or else you will be formating your own HDD
5.7 In this window click OK
Now it will start giving your some strange, nasty warnings, just keep pressing OK, and Yes Continue Ok, etc etc
When that will finish, you phone will auto restart.
Now you may have to reflash that, or wipe it and install the KDZ ICS engineer version again. As right now My phone is in boot loop but I guess that can be fixed.

I am following all the steps. eMMC software showed that it QPST server not running. I ran eMMC download tool with Admin rights and that problem was gone.
Now when I Press download button this error pops up showing Image Download Failed. Cookie(if present) not received.

[HOW TO]Guideline / Install MTK drivers / How to Root / Flash a Rom / IMEI Restore

In this Thread i will explain how to set up MTK drivers and Flashtools.
Guideline:
Post #1 : Set up MTK drivers in Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10
Post #2 : Use Flashtools for MTK Devices
Post #3 : How to Flash Custom Roms / Roms download Guide / How to Root Stock Rom
Post #4 : Windows 10 MTK Drivers installation ( just in case post #1 dont work )
Post #5 : Lost IMEI Backup​
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
How to Install MTK drivers in Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10
what we need:
MTK Vcom Preloader Driver 2.0
Download : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911977169
First thing we need is to Disable the Signed Driver verification on Windows :
To disable driver signature verification, we’re going to need to get into the Troubleshooting options from the boot manager.
The easiest way to bring this screen up is using this secret trick.
Hold down the SHIFT key while you click Restart.
{
"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"
}
Once your computer has rebooted you will be able to choose the Troubleshoot option.
Then head into Advanced options.
Then Startup Settings.
Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your Computer one last time.
After restarting your computer a second time,
choose Disable driver signature enforcement from the list by typing the number 7 on your keyboard.
That’s all there is to it. Your PC will then reboot and you will be able to install unsigned drivers.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Now its Time to open SP_Driver_v2.0.zip and start the DriverInstall.exe
it will open the install prompt . Press okay and dont change the installation path
Code:
C: // program files / Mediatek / Driver Package
during the installation it will start the verification window security.
Click on Install this driver software anyway
There will be an Error Message . - We Ignore it !
-Now Open your Device Manager and leave it open.
-Power Off your Phone and connect it with your Pc.
-you will see Under ports ( COM & LPT ) a Preloader unknown device
right click on there and click on Driver update/installation.
-Choose manually search for drivers
-Browse to C:// program files / Mediatek / Driver Package and apply.
-If all went good you have successfully installed the MTK Vcom Drivers. :good:
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>​

How to Use Flashtools
i use SP_Flash_Tool_Windows_v5.1520.00.000 and never had a problem with it.
Its for most all MTK Phones and for all Elephone Devices
Download Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911977217
- Extract the Flashtool zip folder to your Desktop

How to Install Custom Roms
You don't need to root your phone to use Custom Roms like
Eragon Rom
or
Nexus Rom
because within installation it will get root with SuperSU
P.s: if you run into a problem e.g Bootloop . (newest Rom dont work well with our Custom Roms , related to its Partition.Img)
You could Flash the Stock ROM 02150725 to solve it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Place the Rom.Zip into your Internal or External Sdcard
2. If you are on Stock Rom just Flash a Custom Recovery
Best Recovery without any bug is Philz v2 but you can also use Twrp Recovery
3. Hold Vol+ and Power simultaneously
you will get into the Bootloader Menu
4. Navigate with Vol+ to Recovery and apply with Vol-
5. In Recovery perform a Fullwipe , wipe System , Data , Cache , Dalvik
(In Philz Recovery wipe "clean to install a new rom"
In TWRP Recovery Wipe /advanced Wipe /wipe System,Data,Cache,dalvik)
6. Install the Rom.Zip located in your Sdcard
7. Reboot

Windows 10 MTK VCOM USB Drivers for 32 & 64 bit + Driver install tutorial
To determine the version of Windows 10 that you have (32 bit or 64 bit):
- Right-click on Start then click on System
- In the System window that opens, in System section, you will find your version of Windows next to System type
To disable Windows 10 64 bit driver signature enforcement:
- On your 64 bit Windows 10 desktop click on Start then on Settings
- Click on Update & security then in the left pane click on Recovery
- Under Advanced startup click on Restart now button
- Click on Troubleshoot then on Advanced options
- Click on Startup Settings then on Restart button
- The computer will restart with the Startup Settings screen
- To disable the driver signature enforcement until next restart press on number key 7 or F7 on your keyboard.
- After restart you can proceed with the unsigned MTK drivers installation for your 64 bit Windows
- After you install the unsigned drivers, to use them again in the future, you have to repeat this procedure
To install the MTK VCOM USB Drivers on 32 & 64 bit Windows 10:
- Download the drivers *.zip archive and extract the folder from inside on to the desktop:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012126
Right-click on Start then click on Device Manager
In the Device Manager Window click on the first item – your computer name
Click on Action then Add legacy hardware
On the Welcome to the Add hardware Wizard window click on Next button
Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced) and then click on Next button
Click on Show All Devices then on Next button
In the Add Hardware window click on Have Disk… button
In the Install From Disk windows click on Browse… button
In the next window – Locate file – browse for the folder that you have extracted on the desktop at the beginning
Select the version of the driver according to your Windows 10 version – x64 for 64 bit and x86 for 32 bit and click Open button
Click the OK button to load the driver
From the list of drivers select MTK USB Port and click on Next button
If a red warning window will open, click on Install this driver software anyway
This action will add the following drivers in to the operating system:
- MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port
- MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port – for transferring the firmware to your device
- MTK USB DEBUG Port
- MTK USB Modem Port
- MTK USB port – for transfering PreLoader to your device (and recovery in case of bad or corrupt firmware)
Now we need to remove the device that we have installed but leave the drivers in the operating system.
To do that, in the Device Manager window we expand Ports (COM & LPT) section
Right-click and click Uninstall on the MTK USB Port
- In the Confirm Device Uninstall window make sure that the box Delete the driver software for this device is empty
- You need to leave the drivers in the operating system and only remove the device that you added
- Click on the OK button to finalise
Now, when you will connect your turned off MTK device to the Windows 10 computer by USB, the device will be recognized either trough a MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port interface or as a MTK USB port if it is bricked or it has bad/corrupt firmware. The SP Flash Tool will be able to transfer the firmware to your device trough this interfaces. Make sure you connect the device after you press the Download button in SP Flash Tool, as the communication interface will only be alive for 2 seconds if no data is being sent.
Download SP Flash Tool v3 & v5 – Latest versions:

Lost IMEI Restore
A common problem many face in their phone is loss of IMEI no. This is results in no network detection by your phone. U can come to know you have lost your IMEI by checking Settings->About phone->Phone information. There under IMEI section you won’t be finding your mobile IMEI numbers displayed.
Don’t worry you can restore your IMEI’s. Just follow this guide and you will be able to restore your IMEI. I will split the tutorial into two parts.
BACKING IMEI :
-First step before performing all these things is that your phone should be rooted.
When your phone is in normal state with everything functioning install Root explorer and navigate to the below location
Code:
>ROOT>DATA>NVRAM>MD>NVRAM>NVD_IMEI>MP0B_001
-Now copy this MP0b_001 file to your SD card or PC whichever place you feel the file we be safer.
-Now download MTK Droid tools .
-Now extract the zip file and open the MTK droid tools exe file.
-Now in your phone turn on USB Debugging by going to Settings->About phone-> Developer options and there turn on USB debugging.
-Now connect your phone and MTK droid tools should be able to detect your phone. U should see a window like this appearing after your
phone has been detected.
-Now press the ROOT button present in lower right corner. When it asks Supersu grant in your mobile click allow. After MTK droid gets
access u should see a green colour box appearing in the lower left corner which means u have correctly granted access to MTK droid.
-Now click on the IMEI/Nvram tab. A window should open and click backup NVRAM and MTK droid tools would take a backup of NVram in
its folder.
RESTORING IMEI :
-Now when you lose IMEI first try this method. Now take the MPDB_001 file which you took backup at the first step and navigate through
Root explorer to this location ->ROOT->DATA->NVRAM->MD->NVRAM->NVD_IMEI.
-Now paste that file and replace the one present there. Set the permissions for that file as RWER-ER-E. Now reboot your phone and you
should be able to get your IMEI back.
If you still haven’t got IMEI open MTK droid tools and connect your phone and press ROOT again and give MTK droid tools root access.
-Now click on IMEI/Nvram tab and select Restore option and restore the NVram backup which you took earlier. Now reboot your phone and
you should be able to get your IMEI.
Extreme method :
-After performing all the above if you haven’t still got IMEI. Now switch off your phone and open SP Tools and connect your phone.
Click on format and format your whole phone. ( This wipes whole of the phone including NVram region ).
-Now flash stock ROM through SP Tools and after it completes start up your phone. ( Don’t be surprised. Your IMEI will still be in lost state
only ). Now root your phone.
-After successful rooting now connect your phone to MTK Droid tools and again press ROOT button and grant root access to MTK Droid
tools. Now click on IMEI/NVram tab.
-Now as you see in the image above you can see two boxes IMEI1 and IMEI 2. Now enter your device IMEI numbers manually in those two
boxes.( You can get your IMEI no’s from your phone box ). Now click replace IMEI. Now reboot your phone and you should be definitely able
to get your IMEI restored.

Thanks for this great work.
And for all the Linux Users out there. SPFlashtool also work perfekt with x86-64 Linux distros.
The most anoying point and greatest drawback is, that with newer Ubuntu based distros like Mint, since 14.04, the builtin modem-manager don't like Mediatek, so you have to blacklist Mediatek in the udev rules.
How this will done, is written in that great tutorial by Miss Montage.

Please note neither the name of the IMEI file nor its position seem to be constant, but may vary from one Stock ROM version to another.
In my case (Stock Rom version 20151203) it took me some time to find a file named "MP0B_001" within the following location:
/nvdata/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI
Maybe the easiest way to find the IMEI file is to search for the keyword "NVD_IMEI" within some root file manager as this does not seem to change.

you want to restore your imei?
do this: it just takes a minute
You can solve your imei problem with this "MTK Engineering Mode" from playstore.
You open the app and go to: MTK Settings, Connectivity, CDS Information, Radio Information, Phone 1.
Here you have at the top "AT+". here you complete to >>AT+EGMR=1,7,"123456789012345"<<, of course with your imei, which ist standing on the akku-cover.
Then, very important: You have to put in a space after "AT+", so it looks like >>AT+ EGMR=1,7,"123456789012345"<<
Click "SEND AT COMMAND". Thats it.
For the second imei do the same with >>AT+ EGMR=1,10,"123456789012345"<<

I believe that first post need a big refresh.
The new All-In-One Mediatek driver don't need to disable driver signing. and contain both USB ADB and USB preloader driver for Mediatek chips
For the Flashtool version (Windows/Linux) there is a specific thread where you can redirect all user to get latest version of Flashtool program.

12" Chinese Review Mirror Bootloader Unlock/Firmware Update/Theme

Using Ubuntu inside VirtualBox:
Ensure your VirtualBox is setup to see all USB devices, has internet, folder share, and drag & drop enabled.
1. Go to files and create a folder under /home/username/ called “Media”
2. Give permissions to the folder and all subsequent files by right clicking, going to properties, and setting them to allow “create and delete files”.
3. Give permissions for local network share by sharing folder, allowing others to create and delete files in the folder, and allowing guest access.
4. Inside the “Media” folder you will place a modified fastboot zip folder and extract it’s contents into this location. The zip file can be downloaded from here: Modified_fastboot
Now that you have your Computer setup, let’s get started.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare Android Mirror: (Plugged into CPU via USB)
1. Power on Android mirror.
2. Go to "Settings".
3. Scroll down and select "System".
4. Scroll down and select "About phone".
5. Scroll all the way down and click on build number until developer mode is unlocked.
6. Click on "Baseband version" 4 times to access EngineerMode.
7. Select "DEBUG&LOG".
A. Enable Never Screen Off.
B. Disable Watch Dog.
C. Enable USB Debug.
D. Allow USB debugging “Always on this computer”, and select “ok”.
8. Click the back arrow far left bottom 2 times until back in System settings.
9. Now you should see “Developer options”. Select it and turn it on.
A. Enable Stay awake.
B. Enable OEM unlocking.
C. Verify USB debugging is enabled.
D. Enable Adb Root Privileges. Pin = 2846
10. Device is now ready.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using Windows with Ubuntu installed within Virtualbox:
To get into fastboot:
1. Ensure you have the latest platform tools for windows. This can be downloaded from here:
Win Platform Tools
2. Extract contents to a folder.
3. Open extracted folder, right click in folder, where you see adb.exe, and select “Open in Windows Terminal”.
**** These next steps I found are to be done in a specific order and time so pay close attention ****
4. Type “./adb devices”. Press enter after the beep sound and the 4G loading screen disappears.
./adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If done correctly you will see the following:
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX device
5. Type “./adb reboot bootloader”.
./adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Press enter. - Must be done before the screen goes black and you hear the next beep. If done correctly you will see on the far left:
fastboot mode
7. You are now in fastboot mode. Try not to take too much time with unlocking the bootloader as this may timeout and take multiple tries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within Ubuntu:
Unlocking bootloader within Fastboot:
1. Open the modified_fastboot folder, right-click then select Open in Terminal.
2. Setup permissions for user by entering the following one at a time followed by enter.
sudo -i
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
sudo usermod -aG plugdev root

3. Test device detection using:
./fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Get identifier Token using:
./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. You should get an output like:
Identifier token:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
OKAY [0.019s]
finished. Total time: 0.019s
6. Copy the Identifier token.
7. Run this command ; replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your Identifier token. Should look like this:
./signidentifier_unlockbootloader.sh XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX rsa4096_vbmeta.pem signature.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. You should have an output like:
Identifier sign script, ver 0.10
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
50 bytes copied, 0.000257562 s, 194kB/s
Identifier sign successfully
9. You should also see a signature.bin file in the modified_fastboot folder.
10. Finally run this command:
./fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader signature.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
11. When it asks to confirm bootloader unlock (volume up/volume down options):
Locate the A/V port on the top of the device, looks like a 3.5mm plug, and use a small ½” long device/toothpick/paperclip to push the button on the inside of the port at the bottom.

Update to latest firmware:
1. Go to and read through the Original Post, Original Post in Russian, and ensure your device is the same device or very similar in design. If not you should not update with the mentioned firmware.
2. Download firmware update:
QC_BITE_M5_188_Media_Sleep_2021010619_202101061959_64bit.pac
The tools that will be needed and instructions:
1.Go to this website, https://spdflashtool.com/
2. Download latest version of Research Tool here: Research-tool
3. Follow instructions on how to use the Research Tool here: Instructions
A. Here is the link for the SPD driver you will need: Drivers
B. Stop at step 8 do not connect your mirror to the computer. Make sure your mirror is turned off and follow this video to complete the installation process:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you would rather complete with written tutorial vice watching video, here are the remaining steps.
1. Turn off the mirror if not done already.
2. Ensure firmware loaded into the Research tool and press the Play/start button.
3. With something small like a toothpick/paperclip, press the button inside the AV port at the top of the mirror. Make sure you find the button before proceeding.

Additional/Optional:
Not promoting anything, but kinda am. I get nothing in return for advising to use of any tools. This one here has helped me more than i can explain and was created by an OG of XDA, Koushik Dutta, aka. Koush. He is most famous for his work with Clockwork-mod. Show him some support if you like his work.
Tool to control pretty much any android device from your computer: Vysor
https://www.vysor.io
Here is a video showing you how to use the program. It is done with a Firestick, but once I was setup it just found the mirror itself once I plugged it in as well as my cell phone:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that your bootloader is unlocked and your system is up to date, you may want to customize things a bit as most on XDA do. This is super new to me, like only 2 days working on this mirror.... I did however find a legit app, through playstore, to customize your home screen to not look like so tacky/boring. The app is called Car Launcher. There is a free version and a paid one. Paid version unlocks so much customization. I recommend installing the free version and testing it out. If all works, then the paid version is the way to go. I know the paid works very well with the above firmware. I have tested it quite extensively and so far found only one hick-up. Here are the links.
Recommended Home replacement: Free
Car Launcher Free
PRO Version is much better: cost $4.99
Car Launcher Pro
Whatever you do, don’t use program brightness settings in the themes or Car Launcher. Use the device’s settings.

Hello @po8pimp. Thank you very much for this tutorial, it is very useful. Hopefully someone can make a custom rom for these mirror.
I have a similar mirror, i think from HGDO brand, 4GB RAM 32Gb ROM with the firmware QC_1126bit_M5_1126_media_sleep_2020112517
Can I use your method and install that firmware?
In other hand I cant logout a google account from the mirror. Do you know how to delete and account from it?
Thank you

I will have to check on the firmware ability. As far as the google account logout, you will more than likely have to factory reset the device.

To do that, go to the start menu and type CMD.
4. Right-click and copy the address and paste it in the prompt window.

-- WARNING --​Thinking of upgrading to Android 12 / Android 13 ?​
The camera drivers found in the Android 11 version your phone was shipped with -​Are NOT in the Android 11 version from the Oukitel Download Center !.​You will brake your 64MP Camera if you flash GSI ore the version from Download Center .​
Although I copied all the files required to restore the camera, which you can find below in a zip file -
Are the drivers in all other roms and GSI's to control the camera missing.
--FM drivers are located in kernel. Most other oem drivers are in vendor. And the definitions are in system
​However, there is an easy fix for this, and that is to make a backup of your working phone firmware before you start installing other versions of Android, so that you can always restore your phone from this backup, with the correct drivers and get a fully functional phone again.
​Dump/extract/backup your Oukitel WP17 firmware.​It is ALWAYS a good practice to backup your firmware. Any phones sooner or later will have issues and since you don't have a copy to restore yor phone, you will spend money sending it in for repair which sometimes costs more than the phone is worth. There are many ways to make a copy of your phone's firmware. search on the internet or use this simple guide:
All the files you need can be found under this video​
And to everyone who already broken their phone and is now looking for a way to restore their phone. Have I already ordered a new WP17 that I will create a firmware backup of, and make available for you and a manual for how to restore. I will keep you updated on that, but it takes a long time to get things shipped from China these days.

Android 12 / 13 on Oukitel WP17 -​I created a small script that quickly installs Android 12 and 13 on your phone.
Get rid of the pesky red text on the screen.
​Android 12 ...​
​Android 13 ...​
​To begin with, you need to decide which version of Android you want on your phone.
To help you on your way, I suggest you check out the link below. It's important that you choose the ARM64 AB version.
Generic System Image (GSI) list
Notes about tinkering with Android Project Treble. Contribute to phhusson/treble_experimentations development by creating an account on GitHub.

In this example, let's say you want to install Spark OS Android 13.
​Go to the download page and select the latest version.
1. Extract Android 13 from the downloaded file to your desktop.
2. Rename the file to GSI.img
3. Download and extract AA - Install Android to your desktop
4. Move the GSI.img file to the install folder.
​Double-click on AA - Install Android.
Turn off your phone.
Press and hold Volume+ Power and Ptt button until you get to the bootloader menu.
Select Fastboot mode.
​Connect your USB cable to your phone, Look at your phone, and press Volume+ button 2 times when prompted to start. That's all. Sit back and relax for a couple of minutes.
​The installation script will install your chosen Android version and reboot the phone when everything is done. After boot install Magisk25.

​

Udate:
I have created a new lk.img file to remove the 'Orange State' Warning during boot of Android.
The file is added to the installation scripts.

Hi,
I've just intalled SparkOS (the same file you show in the tutorial) on my WP17.
The default camera has been replaced and now I can't use the triple camera or infrared.
I was wondering if you knew how to install/flash the NightVision Camera_Oukitel WP17.zip back onto the phone. Or maybe where to put the files?
Best regards, picipi.
PS: keep on the great work!

.
No. Sorry, not yet. The problem is the drivers for the camera. The Android version your phone is shipped with has these drivers pre-installed. As I wrote before, if you flash GSI or other versions of android, these drivers are not included, and you will have problems with your camera.
This forum is aimed primarily at those who have had problems with their phone and need help getting their phone to a working condition for calling and normal daily operation. However the NightVision Camera can be partly fixt by installing the default camera app.
It's important for EVERYONE with Android 11 stock firmware, to extract a copy of the firmware as a backup, before flashing other GSI roms. And share a link here on the forum, so others can restore their phones to.
There are many ways to do this. Find a method that suits you best:
pull Stock Android Firmware - Google Search

How to use SP Flash tool to backup Mediatek firmware
Update: I suggest you use Wwr tool + SP flash tool for the dump instead of SP Flash tool alone as you can proceed without first having the scatter file and using MTK Droid Tools (which is now outdated

PS..
When you extract you firmware. DO NOT copy the USERDATA partition!, this partition can hold up to 20-40 gigabits of your old useless user data, of you using your phone on a daily bases.

--- BlissOS Android 13 and lightning fast ---​
​
This rom has the bare minimum of needed apps, no bloatware and lightning fast.
highly recommended and fit's the Oukitel WP17 spec perfectly.
Download the rom here:
BlissOSv16.0-arm64-bgN-slim-Unofficial​
1. Extract Android 13 from the downloaded file to your desktop.
2. Rename the file to GSI.img
3. Download and extract AA - Install Android to your desktop
4. Move the GSI.img file to the install folder.
Enjoy ...

If you choose to go back to stock rom, and you have formatted the phone to flash GSI, is the precise partition deleted, and you end up with missing google key / Red txt on the top of your phone.
Here is the file you flash to get rid of that Red txt…
Code:
fastboot flash persist persist.img

Some users reported it doesn't work for them.
For me it did the trick, but it doesn't work for everyone.

I forgot to say that I don't have any backup on my IMEI and I've no idea where the box is. Is there any other way to get it ? I've sent an email to Oukitel but no answer so far

.
Yes. just copy and paste these numbers. Ore just scramble the numbers around.
IMEI 1: 35524555061532
IMEI 2: 35524555061573
​If you don't want to use these IMEI numbers, you can just take the IMEI number under the battery from one of your old phones you already have lying around. it doesn't matter how old they are, even an old Nokia from 1990 works perfectly fine.

To remove the Red txt "No google key and tee key".​Some people have sent me a pm and say that flashing persist.img didn't work for them.
Try this instead:
Code:
adb devices
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mediatek.engineermode
Reboot the phone.
