Instructions on firmware (written step by step, with a new phone in hand)

1. Preliminary actions:
Download and unpack the ADB Platform -from here
Download and unpack ADB USB Drivers - (ibid, go along with the platform)
Download and unpack the latest SP Flash Tool -from here
Download and unpack the MTK Preloader drivers - ibid, called "Signed vcom and adb drivers, which can be installed without disabling signature verification."
Download attached to the post MT6750_Android_scatter.txt
Download TWRP Recovery -from this post

2. In the phone:
2.1 Settings - System - About the phone - tap the "Build number" 10 times, until it says that we have become developers
2.2 Back up one level (System) and go to Developer Options.
2.3 Turn on "Factory Unlock" (OEM Unlock)

3. Unlocking the bootloader (ATTENTION: ALL DATA ON THE TELEPHONE WILL BE LOST !!!)
3.1 Turning off the phone
3.2 Clamp "Volume up", and, without releasing it - the power button.
3.3 Select "Fastboot mode" using "Volume up" and press "Volume down"
3.4 Just below will appear the inscription "FASTBOOT mode ..."
3.5 Connect the phone to the computer. Go to the task manager and install the driver for the Android Device from the package "ADB Device Drivers"
3.6 Go to the folder with the ADB Platform, open the command line (Shift + RightMouse button, "Open command window"), type fastboot devices. There should be something like "

HOMTOMHT9900000XXXX fastboot download

". Sometimes right after installing the drivers, the phone is not detected, in which case you need to repeat everything from step 3.1.
3.7 We type fastboot oem unlock, some warning text appears on the phone, press "Volume Up". On the command line, something like: OKAY [9.773s] will appear
3.8 We type fastboot reboot. When you restart the phone, an inscription about "Orange state" will appear and the fact that the device can no longer be trusted. Oh well :)
3.9 Android will be loading for a long time. As soon as it loads up to the window where it offers to choose a language, turn off the phone.

4. TWRP firmware
4.1 Starting the device manager (My Computer - PCM - Properties - Device Manager)
4.2 The phone must be disconnected from the computer. Next, it is important to act QUICKLY. If you do not have time - then this step will have to be repeated from the beginning.
4.2.1 Connect the phone to the computer. In the device manager, an unknown device will appear for just three seconds. You need to have time to right-click on it and select "Properties". If you have time, then you can slowly install the driver - from the folder with the signed MTK driver. After that, disconnect the phone from the computer.
4.3 Launch the SP Flash Tool
4.3.1 Scatter-loading File - Choose, choose the downloaded MT6750_Android_scatter.txt
4.3.2 In the table that appears below, click on the recovery line in the Location field, select the downloaded recovery_S99.img
4.3.3 Click the Download button
4.3.4 Connect the phone to the computer. In the SP Flash Tool a red stripe runs through, then a yellow stripe, and at the end a window with a white check mark in a green circle will pop up. Done, Recovery installed.
4.3.5 Strange, but on both my phones it was delivered only from the second time, despite the fact that the SP Flash Tool did not generate errors. Perhaps you will have the same.

5. ROOT, Xposed and other nishtyaki
5.1 Downloading to TWRP is performed in the same way as loading in clause 3 of this instruction, however, we select not “Fastboot mode” but “Recovery mode”
5.2 First of all, you have to deal with the mounting of the / data partition, because without this you can’t put a Magisk ROOT. There are three options:
5.2A - Boot into the system, go to "Settings" - "Security" - "Encrypt data", set a password or PIN. It will then need to enter when you restart the phone. The most correct option, besides increasing the security of your device
5.2B - The method of replacing the file / vendor / fstab. I warn you immediately:I HAVE NOT EARNED IT. But you can try.
5.2B.1 - Boot into TWRP on the phone.
5.2B.2 - Take a flash drive, format it with FAT32.
5.2B.3 - Put the contents of the fstab.mt6755.zip archive from the USB flash drive.this post.
5.2B.4 - Taking the USB-OTG cable supplied with the phone, connect the USB flash drive to the phone.
5.2B.5 - In TWRP, go to the "Mounting" section. Choose Vendor and Usb-Otg. Both ticks should appear
5.2B.6 - In TWRP, return to the main menu, go to the "Additional" section - "Explorer"
5.2B.7 - Select /usbotg/fstab.mt6755 and copy it to / vendor / etc with the replacement of the source file.
5.2B - Just format / data. The fastest option, but the disadvantage of this method is that Android 8 (at least on our phone) ALWAYS encrypts the / data partition. Log in to the system once and everything, / data will be encrypted again. But no one bothers you, if necessary, to use option 5.2A afterwards.
5.2B.1 In TWRP, go to Clear, Format Data, type on the keyboard yes, click OK
5.2B.2 Go back to the main menu, go to "Reboot", select "Recovery". We do not agree to the installation of the TWRP App, we do not need it.
5.3 ROOT
5.3.1 - Download Magiskfrom here(we need Magisk ZIP, for recovery) -
5.3.2 - Format a USB flash drive in FAT32, write to it Magisk.zip (and other archives for TWRP, if you want to install a pack at once)
5.3.3 - Connect the USB flash drive to the phone via USB-OTG, go to TWRP - Installation, "Drive selection - Usb-Otg" (it will be mounted when trying to access) and install Magisk Manager
5.4 Xposed Framework
5.4.1 - We are takinghere, our phone is Android 8, x64
пїЅ5.5 ART Optimization Script (DO NOT USE IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU NEED IT! And make backups!)

It is assumed that we already have a phone with a unlocked bootloader and TWRP.

1. Preliminary training
1.1 Go to the topicProject trebleand choose the firmware to your liking. Download it, and write to the USB flash drive. We need firmware like ARM64-A

2. Install the firmware (ALL DATA WILL BE LOST!)
2.1 Boot into TWRP. If / data is encrypted, then we format it - most custom firmwares do not encrypt anything by default, giving the user a choice. Reboot to TWRP through the main menu "Reboot" - "Recovery"
2.2 Cleaning - Extended, put a tick on the system, pull the "Cleaning" slider. If you did not format the / data partition, then you will need to clear ART \ Dalvik Cache and data as well.
2.3 Connect a USB flash drive via OTG. Go to "Install" - "Select Drive" - ​​"USB-OTG" and tap on the "Install image" button. The firmware downloaded at stage 1.1 will appear (must be in img format). Stitching. Reboot to the OS. Long-long first boot - and you have custom firmware.
2.4 Magisk, xposed, and so on will have to be reinstalled.

Those. There are no difficulties, the installation is no more difficult than the usual firmware in zip-archives.
Regarding troubles - USSD does not work. More precisely, how ... they leave, the answer comes back, but the system does not display it. Perhaps programs such as USSD Dual Widget will be able to intercept such codes, but you will definitely have to forget about the USSD menu. The incoming MTK patch does not help and is even harmful - USSD will not work, and outgoing calls will begin to fall off with a reboot of the radio module.

Another issue concerns WebView. The fact is that Resurrection Remix (and maybe other firmware without GApps) does not default to the WebView system renderer, which is why many programs do not work, including customers of banks, stores, instagram, BusyBox installer and hell knows what else .
Exit two.
The first is to set GApps. Not recommended :)
Second - download Google Chrome Stable (directly from the profile themesavagemessiahzine.com), install it, then use Lucky Patcher or Titanium Backup to make it system and reboot. After that, the android will automatically pick up the WebView engine from it, and all problems with the launch of applications will disappear as if by magic.
I tried to install WebView 71 beta instead of Chrome, also from the profile theme, but alas, everything is bad there. Some programs are starting to work, but not all. So it is better to put chrome.
I did not encounter any other problems.

If for some reason you lost the firmware of the communication module (IMEI cannot be restored), and there is no NVRAM backup, you can try the following method:

Required software:
1: Firmware with scatter file
2: Spflashtool
3: Text Editor

Instruction:
1: Copy the file "nvram.bin" to the folder with the firmware
nvram.zip(11.81 KB)
2: Open Scatter File in a text editor
3: Find "nvram" in the text, set file_name: nvram.bin
4: is_download: change to true, save and close
5: Run spflashtool
6: Select edited Scatter File
7: Change "download only" to "formate all + download" and click Download
8: Connect the switched off device to the computer via USB Data Cable
9: After the firmware, you can change IMEI with native means (for example, through the engineering menu * # * # 3646633 # * # * - Telephony - GPRS)

Hello everyone, official firmware HOMTOM-HTS99-Android_8.0-R12-20181012.
Download from Yandex.Disk:

UDP: By the way, those who wrote about turning on the screen with a delay of ~ 20 sec., By experimenting with the firmware of the phone, noticed this, but only on firmware R10, it seems that the firmware goes with the jambs sometimes, try to flash it again (Reaction to turn on the screen You can check immediately after launch, wherever you choose the language).

What is the best way to get root?

There is an instruction
From myself I can add the following
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TVRP
3. Boot into TVRP without booting into the system.
4. Flash from Magdisk TVRP (or latest version SuperSu optional)
5. Boot into the system
6. Install Magisk manager (no need for SuperSu)

And ... everything.Ruth is received. You can put all sorts of buns. Everything will work.BUT!It will be impossible to make a full backup through TVRP. Date section in TVRP will be encrypted!

If you need to make a full backup from TVRP, then you have to sacrifice a fingerprint scanner, because at the moment (or not at all) you can not get full access on our phone for TVRP without a scanner dump.
For full access to TVRP:
7. Already being in the system put for example the ESconductor
8. Give him the root of the law.
9. Take the fstab.mt6755 filefrom here (original here if not saved before replacing)
10. Copy it to / vendor / etc with the replacement of the source file and put the resolution "G" (644)
11. Reboot to TVRP.
12. Format Date

And ... Hooray! You have full access to TVRP. But the fingerprint scanner now does not work.

Algorithm of actions for getting a full backup and turning on the scanner

Not relevant!Currently, there is a way to get RTH and decrypt DAT!

Fix incoming calls on custom firmware.
I thought on HOMTOM there is no such thing that there are no incoming calls, especially put RR, everything was ok. But today I installed CRDroid and you don’t have them. In general, catch, you can put it once and no more touch, if you do not wake up the vendor. We put through TWRP without wipes.

I tortured the phone a little, but I think that infa will be useful. Found a testpoint on the phone key.
This is how the phone is determined with the usual flashing of the application.

Normal firmware.

That is (MediaTek Priloader USB Vcom)
And while holding the volume up button.

Testpoint

The emergency port (MediaTek DA USB Vcom) for flashing the application driver lights up. That is, if it turned out that they used the phone, then we try to flash the application manager.Only priloader if ticked everywhere, in this mode will give an error.

DATA section decryption with working Fingerprint Scanner (SOP)

I'll sign for the algorithm of actions:
1) First you need to do everything from this post,
HOMTOM S99 - Discussion (Post anat1004 # 75439772)
Otherwise it will be thrown into the FASTBUT. The only thing that I have is TWRP 3.2.3 (I think it doesn’t matter which one you have)
HOMTOM S99 - Discussion (Post vitches69 # 81979266)
2) Next, go to the system (I personally went through all the settings, only skipped the googol account).
3) After we go into TWRP (you can flash through the USB flash drive) and flash the vendor that is attached below. In TWRP, select the installation, from the bottom Image, find our vendor.img, tick the vendor, svayp in the right. You can not do the date formatting, the SOP settings are already present.
Swing HERE

And for those who do not want much zamarachevatsya. Patch vendor.

Download vendor

Link:

Detailed instructions with pictures

1) Download Vendor_S99.zip and drop it on the memory card.

2) We go in TWRP. Select the installation.

Find our Vendor_S99.zip and click on it.

Swipe to the right and wait for it to be done

3) Without leaving TWRP, we go into the cleaning

Formatting Data and swipe right

We enter yes and confirm

4) We are waiting for the end. Reboot into the system.

5) EVERYTHING .

ATTENTION: After these actions, all user data (photos, videos, games, etc.) will be erased from the phone.

boot.img for firmware from the themeDevelopment and porting of GSI-firmware (Post bullik01 # 71222655)

For several weeks I was tormented, why are some firmwares on android 9, either they are hanging on the boot of animation, or they don’t see the memory and a lot of errors are coming out Helped and suggested that yes how to do DEARoleg ... a . So take advantage, set oleg ... a a plus. It turned out that in the subject of his device, he laid out a special boot for firmware from the topic. It can be flashed once and after sewing (rewrite) the firmware, until the moment you flash the phone through the USB flash drive or flash a stock bottle. It is sewn either through a flashlight or through TWRP (installation / image / Choose boot.img / checkbox on boot). And after that you need to flash Magisk, no matter if it was flashed from you or not, otherwise it will be thrown into the fastboot.
Sample firmware on my device

RR 7.0.0

boot.img(8.74 MB)

For those who can not flash boot.img, a patch for TWRP. Stitching after donethis . We sew without wipes. After flashing the patch, you can safely put the firmware required. Do not forget, we do not all firmware fit.
