In the native recovery, the backup does not work, there is not enough space?!

I flew by 20170727 by air, the problem with the departure of the dialer remained

[legolaiss]

Try to clear the caller's cache, the latest update is worth it, but I did not notice the outgoing dialers, the Ussd commands all work fine. What am I doing wrong?)))

I installed the recovery and root. It's ok

[xSerega007x]

I am not responsible for crooked hands.I just described my process of installing recovery and getting root rights. thankjemminifor creating our recovery

For TWRP firmware and getting ROOT we need:

Super SU
Recovery.img
Scatter file
SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1728.00.000.zip
Driver
Install the driver with administrator rights (will swear that they are unsigned, but you still put them)
Unziprecovery.imgandMT6750_Android_scatter.txtin one folder.
Next, install and runSP Flash Toolwith admin rights. In the tabDownloadchoose ourMT6750_Android_scatter.txt. Check that the jackdaw is only against the Recovery point, more so that there are no jackdaws. Click on the button with a green arrowDownloadand connect the phone completely off to USB. After a few seconds, a sign saying Download ok.
Next Clamp Volume + and the power button. Choose recovery and wait for launch. Next, you will need a Micro SD card (I could not install it from the internal memory, since there are no files from it). Copy on it archive withSuper SU, Mount it in recovery, install and enjoy the presence of ROOT rights.

I tried to install TWRP. Installed, but TWRP does not respond to the screen. I had to re-flash the standard.

I tried to flash TWRP, the Flash Tool worked "OK", but when you call rekoveri, the window "NO COMMAND" crashes, after pressing the button on. power supply stock rekoveri appears. What could be the focus?

[KOBL1CK]

d6276
It is necessary to enter the recovery immediately after the firmware, otherwise after the first reboot the system will restore the stock recovery. + This is required to install SuperSU or Magisk.

[d6276]

I asked. Got root. Apparently the first time I chose a different boot mode ...: rofl:

[sklad17]

Through Flashtool, I stitched TWRP, without disconnecting from the computer, I went to TWRP, clicked "restart to OS" and the bodies are already hanging on the logo for 40 minutes. I don’t know what to do next?

[KOBL1CK]

sklad17,
It is necessary in the order of the obligation to flash the archive with SuperSU or Magisk

[venom2410]

Good day! Dear owners of P8 Mini with root rights, I need your help and 5 minutes of your time. In general, they killed this device with the firmware of the preloader. And since MTK has risen with the protection of devices and bootloaders, there is no longer tespoints like on older models, and this device can only be restored via JTAG boxes. There is a box, but the Preloader is written in the BOOT1 or BOOT2 zone and there are a few more lines of code along the Preloadera, and I don’t know which ones. So actually the very essence, below I will lay out the archive with ADB utility that by ADB can dump the BOOT1 and BOOT2 of your device for later recovery of mine. The sections weigh 4MB each, and the beauty is that they all have the same P8 Mini, and if in the future someone also has the Preloader or the internal drive dies, it can also be raised with these files by bringing them to any SC or to that who has a box (Easy Jtag, RIff box, EMMC Pro, etc.) and then the recovery process will be much faster and cheaper.
How to do it:
1) Unpack the archive.
2) Connect the phone with root and USB debugging.
3) Run eMMC ADB Dumper.
4) Click Refresh ADB Device List (information on the phone should appear on the right).
5) Click Dump Boot 1 to choose where to save (4mb), Click Dump Boot 2 to choose where to save (4mb), Click Dump Ext CSD (the most important file for those who grunted the drive when replacing memory) choose where to save (1kb). Then everything will be compressed into the archive and it will all weigh 400kb or so. : D
I would be very grateful if there is someone who makes a dump, and after I sign for the whole procedure of restoring the Preloader for our device without shorting TestPoint, and for any device on MTK 64 bit this method is suitable (in theory: sveta :) only BOOT files are different.

venom2410,

When reviving a brick, press simultaneously + and - volume. Stitch as usual with SPFT.

Taken from the P9000 thread. Does this not roll? Just as far as I know, this is a "replacement" testpoint on new devices.

P.s.Dump throw off a little later. I made a backup of all the memory immediately after receipt.So far I can not apologize.

No, unfortunately, I tried everything, even tried to flash the contacts through RX TX, the result is zero. The same DA mode which is caused by the shortening of the testpoint (or the volume buttons), or already cut out or blocked. MEIZU on the same processor also has such problems with preloaderom and is also solved only by boxing.
